Problem

A task set to At a time can only pick days of the week. A monthly or quarterly job, such as a report on the 4th or on the 5th of January, April, July and October, needs a daily task that checks the date and exits, or a cron job outside T3 Code. Requested in #19009.

Change

  • fixed_time schedules take optional monthDays (1–31) and months (1–12). A task picks days of the week or days of the month, not both. months works with either. A day a month doesn't have, such as the 31st or 29 February, runs on that month's last day, once. The fields live in the existing schedule JSON, so there is no migration and existing tasks are unchanged.
  • The server finds the next run on local wall-clock time, so DST doesn't shift it.
  • The web and mobile editors gain Days of the week / Days of the month, a 1–31 grid and an Only in some months switch. Chosen items show a check. One function in client-runtime writes the schedule as a sentence, such as "At 09:00 on the 5th of Jan, Apr, Jul and Oct", for the editor summary and the task list. The list keeps the server time zone from fix(scheduler): show short server timezone on fixed-time labels #23111 ("At 09:00 UTC on the 5th of …"). A note appears when a chosen day is past a month's end.
  • Older servers would drop the new fields and run the task every day. Servers advertise a scheduledTaskMonthDays capability, like oneTimeSchedules, and both editors offer days of the month and months only when it is present. Saving those choices to a server without it is refused with an explanation.
  • The schedule_task MCP schema describes the fields. The user guide has a short "Scheduled times" section.

Known limitations, left out to keep this to one problem:

  • A client that predates this, such as an older mobile build, shows a month-day task as daily and saves it as daily if edited. Webhook filters have the same limit for older clients.
  • A timed run more than 10 minutes late is skipped, which is existing behavior (since fix(server): a missed fixed-time slot shows as failed on its scheduled task #34815 it shows as failed on the task). For a quarterly task that skips a quarter.

Scope

This is a feature, not a bug fix, so it only fits CONTRIBUTING if a maintainer wants it.

It replaces #26001, which had the same change and was closed for conflicts with: "If the change still matters, open a fresh PR from current main." This is that PR: one commit on current main. The change was proposed in Ideas discussion #19009 (proposal). No maintainer has approved the feature itself. If you'd rather not take it, closing is fine.

Agent context budget: the two new fields add 220 bytes to the MCP tool list, so that job needs the agent-context-increase label.

Verification

Tests:

  • Next runs: every month, month lengths, the 31st, 29 February, months across a year boundary, and DST (Schedule.test.ts).
  • The service stores the schedule and picks the next chosen day (ScheduledTaskService.schedule.test.ts).
  • The contract accepts month days with months and rejects weekdays with month days.
  • The shared summary, the task-list label with the server zone, and the web and mobile draft logic.
  • A web browser test shows the controls only when the server advertises the capability. It fails if the gate is removed.

vp run check:changed passes: format, lint, knip, typecheck of 41 packages, and 127 tests beside the changes. The scheduled-task server tests and the agent context budget test pass.

End to end on this branch, with a dev server in UTC and the web client:

  • I created "Quarterly report" for the 5th of Jan/Apr/Jul/Oct at 09:00. The server stored {"monthDays":[5],"months":[1,4,7,10]} with the next run at 2027-01-05T09:00Z, and the list showed "At 09:00 UTC on the 5th of Jan, Apr, Jul and Oct · Next run in 54d".
  • On main, the same editor shows only days of the week.

Checked on #26001's version, before the rebase:

  • An Android emulator saved a task for the 31st, and its next run became Oct 31.
  • A task for "the 27th at 15:34" fired at 15:34:03 and moved its next run to Nov 27.
  • An agent asked to schedule "16:12 on the 27th, only in October" called schedule_task with monthDays: [27], months: [10].

Walkthrough

Fixed-time schedules now support selecting days of the month and optional months, alongside weekday schedules. Web and mobile editors expose these options based on environment capability. The server calculates matching runs and handles selected days that do not exist in a month.

Changes: Fixed-time calendar schedules

Layer / File(s) Summary
Schedule contract and shared descriptions
packages/contracts/src/scheduledTask.ts, packages/contracts/src/environment.ts, packages/client-runtime/src/scheduledTaskSchedule.ts, apps/server/src/environment/ServerEnvironment.ts, apps/server/src/provider/agentContextBudget.json, related tests and package export
The schedule contract adds month-day and month selections and rejects upserts that specify both weekdays and month days. Shared helpers format fixed-time schedules and describe month-end fallback. The environment capability is added and advertised.
Server schedule calculation
apps/server/src/scheduledTasks/Schedule.ts, apps/server/src/scheduledTasks/Schedule.test.ts, apps/server/src/scheduledTasks/ScheduledTaskService.schedule.test.ts
The server applies weekday, month-day, and month filters when calculating fixed-time runs. Selected days beyond a month’s length match its last day. Schedule comparison normalizes selections.
Schedule draft conversion
apps/mobile/src/features/settings/scheduledTaskDraft.ts, apps/mobile/src/features/settings/scheduledTaskDraft.test.ts, apps/web/src/components/settings/scheduledTasksSettings.logic.ts, apps/web/src/components/settings/scheduledTasksSettings.logic.test.ts
Web and mobile draft models load, validate, and serialize weekday, month-day, and month selections. The tests cover conversion, normalization, and invalid selections.
Web and mobile schedule editors
apps/web/src/components/settings/ScheduledTasksSettings.tsx, apps/mobile/src/features/settings/SettingsScheduledTasksRouteScreen.tsx, apps/web/src/components/ui/toggle.tsx, apps/web/src/components/ui/toggle-group.tsx, apps/web/src/components/settings/ScheduledTasksSettings.browser.test.tsx, docs/user/project-settings.md
The editors add weekly or monthly recurrence controls, optional month limits, schedule descriptions, and capability checks. The toggle components add a check variant, and the documentation describes fixed-time calendar schedules.

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~25 minutes

Merge Risk: Moderate · up to 1acdd

The agent context budget check currently fails and needs a maintainer-approved label or a smaller tool schema before merging. Separately, an older client that edits a monthly or quarterly task can silently turn it into a daily task. The PR notes this limitation, but the server does not guard against it.

Explanation

The title "feat(scheduled-tasks): run timed tasks on days of the month and in chosen months" matches the main change: fixed-time schedules gain optional monthDays and months fields across the contracts, server scheduling, web and mobile editors, and docs. It is a short, single-sentence conventional-commit title that names the primary feature.

Full details: Description check

Explanation

The description follows the repository template sections (Problem, Change, Scope, Verification) and fills each one with specific content. Problem and Change explain the feature, the capability gate, and the limitations. Scope states that this is a feature rather than a bug fix and links the proposal and the replaced PR. Verification lists focused tests, an end-to-end check, and items that were not checked. The template's conventional-commit title guidance is met by the PR title. The Scope section is somewhat at odds with the template's bug-fix-only rule, but the author discloses this openly and leaves acceptance to maintainers, so the description is mostly complete.

Resolve the rejected agent-context budget increase.

The supplied Agent Context Budget check fails because mcpToolListJsonBytes increased by 220 bytes. Updating this snapshot does not approve that increase.

Reduce the added tool-schema text and rerun the relevant evals, or obtain the maintainer-controlled agent-context-increase label.

Omitted calendar fields can overwrite a monthly or quarterly schedule.

A save from a client that predates monthDays and months omits both fields. When scheduleUnchanged is false, upsert stores the input schedule as-is. The stored month selection is then dropped, and the task can run on the remaining fixed-time fields instead of the calendar rule.

The webhook path already keeps stored filters when a client omits them (ScheduledTaskService.ts:1466-1472). The calendar fields have no equivalent preservation, and the server does not reject such payloads.

Preserve the stored monthDays and months when an update omits them, as the webhook filters do. Define explicitly how a client clears them. Define the result when stored monthDays remain with new weekdays, because the contract rejects that combination only in the input. No code change is proposed, because the intended clear and mixed-field behavior is not established by the inspected source.

…osen months

A timed task could only pick weekdays, so a monthly or quarterly report
needed a daily task that checked the date and exited.

A fixed_time schedule now also takes monthDays (1-31) and months (1-12).
A day a month doesn't have, such as the 31st, runs on that month's last
day. Weekdays and days of the month are mutually exclusive on save; old
rows decode unchanged and no migration is needed. The web and mobile
editors gain a days-of-the-month choice and an "Only in some months"
switch that reveals the months, show the schedule as a sentence, and mark
chosen days and months with a check. Both clients describe schedules with
one shared function. The MCP schedule schema documents the new fields.

Servers advertise a scheduledTaskMonthDays capability, and both editors
offer days of the month and months only when it is present: an older
server would drop the fields and run the task every day.
