Recurring run

A recurring run is a document request that repeats on a schedule, spawning a fresh request from a template at every interval.

Recurring runs are how monthly, quarterly and annual document workflows scale: monthly bookkeeping receipts, quarterly BAS or GST, annual KYC review, annual RC Pro renewal.

In RequestLoops, a request marked is_recurring with a next_run_at field is picked up by the spawn_recurring background job (every 60 seconds in development, every 5 minutes in production), which creates a fresh run from the template.

Each run has its own portal link, reminders, and submissions. Reminders stop on submission. The previous run stays open until completed.
