Notes

1. Prioritization of overlapping brightness schedules. With the introduction of more flexible brightness schedules, there is also potential for brightness schedules overlapping. In cases of overlap, the system will prioritize the schedule that was created more recently. 
   
   For example: A user creates a brightness schedule to set brightness to 0% every Monday. Then, the user creates a brightness schedule to set brightness to 30% every 7th day of the month. In April, the 7th day of the month falls on Monday. The system will select the schedule that was created more recently. Based on the two schedules and their order of creation, the system will set Canvas brightness to 30% on Monday the 7th.
