fix(cron): tighten [SILENT] instruction to prevent report-with-silent-prefix (#3901)

Browse Source 
The model was interpreting [SILENT] as a metadata prefix and writing
full reports with [SILENT] slapped at the front. The old instruction
said 'optionally followed by a brief internal note' which gave too
much room. New instruction explicitly says: [SILENT] means nothing
else, do NOT combine it with a report.
