Research direction

The issue requests configurable priority when the scheduler chooses which DAGs to run or examine, but it names no files, tests, or entry points. Start by locating the scheduler's DAG selection logic and existing priority behavior; done should include a defined priority mechanism and tests covering the ordering.
