Looks good! Thank you for adding!
The cron schedule validator is perhaps more thorough than needed, but I guess can adjust later.

Changes
Implements some validations on the backend (some of which are present on the frontend) so that errors happen earlier. Primarily, crawl schedules are now properly validated! I ended up writing a little validator myself based on https://github.com/robfig/cron, the library that k8s uses.
This also better validates crawl IDs for the
/pages/reAddendpoints, and adds some constraints to thecrawlFilenameTemplateparameter as well.Testing
These changes should all be pretty well tested by the unit & integration tests added.
You can test the validation with API calls from your browser's dev tools (or curl, or whatever) with an invalid schedule to the create or update workflow endpoints.
