Timer units with wantedBy = timers.target were never started because timers.target is already active when system-manager activates. By mapping timers.target to system-manager.target, timers are pulled in during activation alongside other managed services.
Timers now wantedBy system-manager.target instead of timers.target, so verify the symlink is created there and the pre-existing timers.target.wants entry is left untouched.
