The item is correct: recordRunFailure returned for every status except 'failed', so a scheduled run the user stopped (interrupted) or a queued run cancelled before it started left the task reading succeeded/null. The watcher now records 'failed' for every terminal run status except 'completed' (ThreadManagementService.isTerminalRunStatus; a run still active after the wait timeout is left alone). The error is the provider's root failure message when there is one, otherwise a fixed reason: 'The run failed.', 'The run was stopped.', 'The run was cancelled.' or 'The run was rolled back.'. One exception keeps a delivered message from reading as failed: when a queued message is promoted to a steer, its own queued run is cancelled and the message joins the active run. So a 'cancelled' outcome is recorded only if the message's runId is still that run. The write keeps its guard (task_id, last_run_at of this run, status still 'succeeded'), so a newer run is never overwritten. The rest of the branch is unchanged: missed fixed-time slots mark the task failed, with the UPDATE guarded against stale snapshots.

Fixes #30844

Reproduction on main

Commit 4bf5d53 (origin/main). Ran T3CODE_DEV_SEED=0 vp run dev in a fresh worktree and drove the web client through the preview browser. Added a demo git project with t3 project add. Added a provider instance quotaReplay: a small wrapper around the dev replay ACP agent that answers every session/prompt with the JSON-RPC error 'Weekly usage limit reached'. Started a 'Quota runner' thread on it with t3 thread start ... --provider quotaReplay --model showcase; that run failed with the error. Also started a 'Runner' thread on the normal replay agent. In Settings > Scheduled tasks > New task, created 'Quota bookkeeping' (One thread, continuing the conversation > Quota runner, fixed time 09:00) and 'Morning bookkeeping' (same, bound to Runner). Bug 1: 'Run now' on Quota bookkeeping. The thread's run 2 was requested at 06:48:12.926Z and ended failed at 06:48:13.098Z with 'Weekly usage limit reached'. The task row read last_run_status=succeeded, last_run_error=NULL, run_count=1, and Settings showed a green 'succeeded' badge. Bug 2: 'Run now' on Morning bookkeeping (completed, status succeeded). Stopped the server, set that task's next_run_at in the sandbox database to 25 minutes in the past to simulate the machine being off at the slot, and restarted. The server logged 'Skipping schedule task run {reason: missed, missedRunAt: 06:24, rescheduledTo: 09:00}'. No run was created on Runner (still 2 runs), and the task still showed last_run_status=succeeded, last_run_error=NULL, run_count=1 in the database and in Settings. Capture: https://gh-file-drop-api-prod-mi5fy3sowv63ufte.pinglabs.workers.dev/f/db7c7e39086bab73/tasks-after-missed-slot.png ; driver: https://gh-file-drop-api-prod-mi5fy3sowv63ufte.pinglabs.workers.dev/f/3c6b94a86b3baf14/quota-agent.mjs . Failing test on factory/repro-30844 (b6766fc, ScheduledTaskService.schedule.test.ts): after a successful Run now, the server is down across a 09:00 fixed-time slot and returns at 09:30. Nothing is launched, nextRunAt moves to the next day, and the task still reads {succeeded, null}, so the assertion fails on main.

Evidence

Reproduced in the real web client with fresh synthetic data, a 1280×800 viewport, and the light theme on both commits. Created two 09:00 fixed-time tasks continuing existing threads. Ran the quota-rejecting task and the normal task through Run now; then stopped the server, moved the normal task's next slot 25 minutes into the past, and restarted.

Before After
4bf5d53d93 7ffb54be49
Before: both tasks incorrectly remain succeeded After: quota rejection and missed slot show failed with explanations
Run now recording Run now recording
Offline-slot restart recording Offline-slot restart recording

The quota thread failed on both commits. Base retained succeeded with no error; head reported failed with Weekly usage limit reached. After the missed slot, base retained its earlier success; head reported Missed a scheduled run because the server was not running at that time. Neither side launched a catch-up run.

Fixture driver and reproduction steps · Quota replay wrapper · Base runtime rows · Head runtime rows · Redacted server transcript.

Restart recordings redact the environment label during the initial disconnected state. Captures were inspected before upload. AI-assisted; verified with the tests and tools listed above.

Not shown:

  • Stopped, cancelled, and rolled-back scheduled-run outcomes were not exercised; this proof covers the reported provider rejection and missed fixed-time slots.
  • Concurrent task-edit guards and queued-message promotion were not exercised in this reproduction.

Tests

vp test run apps/server/src/scheduledTasks/: 9 files, 118 tests pass. The existing outcome test is now a table over failed, interrupted and cancelled. With the service change stashed (previous head), the 'interrupted' row fails (times out waiting for the failed status). vp run check:changed: format, lint, knip, graphql, typecheck (3 packages) and tests (5 files) all pass.

Approvability

Verdict: Needs Human Approval

Macroscope's review found this PR requires human approval — The change records missed scheduled slots and unsuccessful dispatched runs as failures. An unresolved review concern about concurrent manual runs losing completion accounting needs resolution against the current update guards.

Walkthrough

Scheduled task runs now record terminal failures reported after dispatch. Missed fixed-time slots now record a failure when rescheduled. Conditional updates prevent stale scheduler processing from overwriting a newer run’s status or error.

Changes: Scheduled run outcomes

Layer / File(s) Summary
Record dispatched run failures
apps/server/src/scheduledTasks/ScheduledTaskService.ts, apps/server/src/scheduledTasks/ScheduledTaskService.test.ts
After dispatch, the service waits up to 24 hours for a terminal thread-run outcome. It records the provider failure message or a status-specific fallback when the task still matches the run. Tests cover failed, interrupted, and cancelled outcomes.
Record missed fixed-time runs
apps/server/src/scheduledTasks/ScheduledTaskService.ts, apps/server/src/scheduledTasks/ScheduledTaskService.schedule.test.ts
For missed fixed-time slots, the service conditionally advances the next run time and records an explanatory failure. Tests cover missed-slot rescheduling and preservation of a manual run’s status and error.

Full details: Title check

Explanation

The title names the main change: a missed fixed-time scheduler slot is now recorded as failed on its scheduled task. The changeset matches this. It uses a conventional commit prefix and avoids vague terms. It does not mention the separate turn-outcome half of the linked issue, which the description says is out of scope, so the title is specific to the primary change.

Full details: Linked Issues check

Explanation

Directly linked issue #30844 is open, so its coding requirements apply.

Requirement A (missed fixed-time slots visible) [#30844]: Met. rescheduleMissedRun accepts an optional runError. The missed-slot call in runDueTasks passes 'Missed a scheduled run because the server was not running at that time.' The same UPDATE sets last_run_status='failed' and last_run_error. The guard on next_run_at and last_run_at prevents stale-snapshot overwrites. The 'previous occurrence still queued' path passes no error.

Requirement B (lastRunStatus and lastRunError reflect the terminal state of the bound thread run) [#30844]: Met at the reviewed head. The new recordRunFailure follows the dispatched run with waitForThread. It writes last_run_status='failed' and last_run_error for terminal failed, interrupted, cancelled, and rolled_back states. The error is the latest root provider failure, or a status-specific fallback. A steer guard skips cancelled runs that were promoted to a steer. The update applies only when last_run_status is still 'succeeded' for the same last_run_at. Parameterized tests in ScheduledTaskService.test.ts cover failed, interrupted, and cancelled. I did not read those tests line by line.

Requirement C (user notification, or a readable failed signal, for failed scheduled runs) [#30844]: Met by the readable failed signal. The task row now stores failed status and error, which the settings UI displays (failed badge and lastRunError, per the PR description). No push or other notification mechanism was added. The issue accepts a flagged or readable failure as an alternative.

The PR description is stale. It says the turn-outcome half is not changed here. The code changes it. The description must be updated so it matches the code.

Full details: Out of Scope Changes check

Explanation

The whole-PR diff (merge base 4bf5d53 to head 7ffb54b) contains three groups of change:

(a) Missed-slot handling in rescheduleMissedRun and runDueTasks, with the stale-snapshot guard. This implements #30844 requirement A.

(b) recordRunFailure, forked in serviceScope, plus the move of the serviceScope declaration. It writes failed terminal states for dispatched runs. This implements #30844 requirement B. It is related to a linked issue, so it is not unrelated.

(c) Tests in ScheduledTaskService.schedule.test.ts and ScheduledTaskService.test.ts. These support groups (a) and (b).

No client, contract, catch-up, or run_count change appears in the diff. The PR description and PR objectives say the turn-outcome half is excluded. That statement conflicts with group (b). This is a description error, not an unrelated code change. The description and the 'Not in this change' section must be corrected before merge.

Full details: Description check

Explanation

The description is detailed and covers most template sections. The Problem section is implicit: it states the bug is that a run ending in a non-success state, such as failed, interrupted, or cancelled, leaves the task reading succeeded, and that missed fixed-time slots are silently skipped. The Change section explains the watcher now records 'failed' for every terminal status except 'completed', including the root provider error or a fixed reason, plus the steer-promotion exception and the guarded write. The Scope section links #30844 as the bug. Verification is thorough: it gives a before/after reproduction on main, screenshots, recordings, test counts, and a stated list of what was not exercised. However, the description has a few gaps against the template. It does not clearly say why a fix for a bug needs no issue, although an issue is linked. The Problem section lacks a concise, explicit expected-behavior statement. The Scope section does not spell out which parts of #30844 are addressed. The description also contradicts itself on scope: it says interrupted and cancelled runs are recorded as failed, but the 'Not in this change' section says interrupted, cancelled, and rolled-back runs still read 'succeeded'. The PR objectives say the PR covers only missed-slot visibility, and the description's 'Not in this change' list says the dispatched-run failure behaviour is out of scope, but the Change section describes that behaviour as implemented. The description is also repetitive in its 'Not in this change' list, with duplicate bullets. The check is marked INCONCLUSIVE because the author's description and the PR objectives conflict on what this PR changes, and the stated scope is internally inconsistent. This needs clarification before a clear pass or fail.

Resolution

Resolve the scope contradiction. The Change section says the watcher records 'failed' for interrupted and cancelled runs. The 'Not in this change' section says interrupted, cancelled, and rolled-back runs still read 'succeeded', and that only provider failure is recorded. Also, the PR objectives describe the PR as covering only missed-slot visibility. Update the description so it states exactly which terminal outcomes are recorded as failed. Remove the duplicate bullets in 'Not in this change'. Add an explicit Problem statement with expected behavior. In Scope, state which parts of #30844 this PR fixes and which it leaves open, and link the issue explicitly. Keep the Verification section, since it is already strong.

Guard the missed-slot status write against a run that has started.

The missed-slot update writes last_run_status = 'failed' without checking the row's current status. A manual run can start after listDueTasks reads the task and set last_run_status = 'running' in markRunning. This update then replaces running with failed. When the run finishes, markCompleted matches no row, because it requires last_run_status = 'running'. It returns false without an error, so the completion is dropped. run_count is not incremented, and the row keeps the missed-run error even though the run dispatched.

Skip the status write when the row is already running. The in-flight run sets next_run_at when it completes:

Suggested fix

         WHERE task_id = ${task.id}
+          ${runError === undefined ? sql`` : sql`AND last_run_status <> 'running'`}

Queued-occurrence skips do not pass runError, so this guard does not change them.

The due-task batch is a snapshot, so a run made while the scheduler waited on
an earlier task could be stamped failed by that task's stale missed slot. Skip
the reschedule when the row's next or last run time has moved on.
