### Session log authority and tools
|
||||
|
||||
The version-1 `schedule/change` stream is the only durable Schedule authority. A create record owns a Session-local, non-reused branded id, the trimmed user prompt, the rule, and its UTC target. Delete terminates any record; an id-only dispatch terminates a one-shot; an Every dispatch stores the shared batch `acceptedAt` and advances the record. The fold terminates that record when no four-digit-year next target remains, and derives every remaining Every record as terminal when the shared gate itself has no four-digit-year admission left. The strict decoder and pure fold reject unknown versions, extra fields, reused ids, mismatched dispatch shapes, batches less than 300 seconds apart, and transitions against inactive records. A normal Session folds its complete stream; a fork folds only events at or after `SessionHeader.seedLength`.

Delete terminates any record; an id-only dispatch terminates a one-shot; an Every dispatch stores the shared batch `acceptedAt` and advances by anchor arithmetic; a Cron dispatch stores `occurrenceAt`, shared `acceptedAt`, and optional `nextScheduledAt` to freeze the live calendar decision. The fold terminates a record with no next target and derives every remaining recurring record as terminal when the shared gate itself has no four-digit-year admission left.

The current rule union accepts a non-empty prompt and exactly one selector. `after_seconds` is a positive safe-integer delay whose record is `{ id, kind: 'after', prompt, afterSeconds, scheduledAt }`. `at` is either a strict RFC 3339 date-time with `Z` or a numeric offset, or a structured `{ date, time, time_zone? }` local value; its record is `{ id, kind: 'at', prompt, scheduledAt }`. Both one-shot dispatches store only the id because the active record already fixes the occurrence. `every_seconds` is a safe integer of at least 300; its `{ id, kind: 'every', prompt, everySeconds, scheduledAt }` record needs no stored anchor because each accepted target remains on the initial fixed-rate sequence. Its dispatch stores only `id + acceptedAt`; the fold derives the latest due occurrence and first strictly future next target. `cron` remains rejected rather than hidden in unused fields. Tool values derive `scheduled` or `overdue`, always include `deliveryMode: 'session-local'`, and expose `deliveryNotBefore` only while an overdue recurring record is gate-blocked.

Cron must be paired with explicit `time_zone`; its `{ id, kind: 'cron', prompt, cron, timeZone, scheduledAt }` record retains the canonical calendar rule and zone, while its dispatch freezes occurrence and next. Tool values derive `scheduled` or `overdue`, always include `deliveryMode: 'session-local'`, and expose `deliveryNotBefore` only while an overdue recurring record is gate-blocked.

||||
|
||||
An Agent-scoped FIFO serializes each accepted management transaction and the live owner's due transaction from preflight through any post-append barrier. Every tool operation that reads or decides from the fold first awaits `ctx.sessions.flush(session)`. Create may reject input-shape failures before entering the FIFO; after a successful preflight it allocates an id, appends create, and waits for a second barrier. Delete validates its id before the FIFO, then preflights before deciding whether the id is active and waits for a second barrier only when it appends. List and unknown or finished delete never answer from an unconfirmed live suffix or observe a dispatch before its own barrier. A failed barrier returns `persistence_uncertain` rather than guessing whether an eager write committed.

Schedule, rather than the model or process locale, owns deterministic calendar normalization. Explicit-offset input must match the narrow supported profile and identify a strictly future four-digit-year instant. Structured local input validates the calendar and selected zone, rejects a daylight-saving gap, and chooses the first, earlier instant in an overlap. A successful create stores only UTC `scheduledAt`; the original offset, local fields, and interpreting zone are not a second durable representation. Natural-language interpretation remains the model's job, and time-context appears before the tool call rather than relying on a result echo.
|
||||
|
||||
### Restricted Cron calendar evaluation
|
||||
|
||||
Schedule owns a numeric five-field parser rather than exposing Croner's language. Each field is exactly a wildcard, integer, strictly increasing integer list, increasing inclusive range, wildcard step, or range step. Canonicalization removes leading zeros and normalizes spaces. Day-of-month and day-of-week cannot both be restricted; Sunday `0` and `7` share one semantic value. Names, macros, seconds, years, Quartz tokens, mixed forms, and duplicate semantics fail before persistence.
|
||||
|
||||
The frequency proof enumerates the complete 400-year Gregorian date cycle and combines it with exact times-of-day. It checks same-day neighbors, cross-midnight neighbors, and the cycle seam, rejecting any nominal interval below five minutes without maintaining a quota or sampling a shorter window.
|
||||
|
||||
The exact production dependency is `croner@10.0.1`, an MIT-licensed ESM package with no transitive dependencies. Schedule gives it hidden seconds=`0` and year=`1-9999`, constructs it paused without a callback, and retains timer, gate, admission, and persistence ownership. The adapter rejects gap-normalized candidates, chooses the first instant in an overlap, and requires strict forward/backward cursor movement. JavaScript constructors remap years 0–99, so an owned local-calendar walker handles that lower range and its transition before safe-year searches delegate to Croner. Live create and due handling use current Croner and ICU; replay only checks canonical rule/zone shapes, whole-minute four-digit UTC instants, and `currentScheduledAt <= occurrenceAt <= acceptedAt < nextScheduledAt`, so tzdata changes never invalidate a committed history.

### Persistence checkpoint and initialization recovery
|
||||
|
||||
`SessionStore.flush()` awaits every scoped listener and treats literal `true` as an explicit durability acknowledgement. An acknowledged call publishes a contained `session/flushed(session, throughSeq)` observation whose exclusive boundary was captured at call entry; append notification itself is not durability evidence. Observe-only listeners return void, an empty or observe-only checkpoint returns `false`, and any listener rejection prevents the success observation after all listeners settle.

### Live delivery lifecycle
|
||||
|
||||
The Agent-scoped owner derives its active targets and latest recurring batch from the durable fold. Long targets use bounded timer segments, and every wake reads the wall clock again, so a rollback cannot fire early and a forward jump becomes overdue. A fixed-rate record treats its current `scheduledAt` as the earliest unaccepted point on the original sequence; integer division selects the latest due point directly, without replaying a missed backlog or shifting the anchor to delivery time. Once one recurring record is overdue behind a closed gate, the owner arms that gate or an earlier one-shot instead of waking at intervening recurring targets. If a turn or another maintenance task already owns the Agent, `runMaintenance()` rejects the claim; the record stays active and one `whenIdle()` wait triggers a later retry. A rejected persistence preflight or contained framing/synchronous-enqueue failure also leaves the record active, but no private retry timer runs; later Agent activity reaching idle or a successful Schedule management preflight asks the owner to try again.

A fixed-rate record treats its current `scheduledAt` as the earliest unaccepted point on the original sequence; integer division selects the latest due point directly.

The accepted path first clears pending persistence and claims the true idle phase through `runMaintenance()`. Inside that task it refolds the exact Session suffix so a direct management mutation that won the claim race cannot be followed by a stale dispatch, then samples the decision clock once. A due one-shot bypasses the recurring gate and keeps the single fixed frame plus id-only dispatch. Otherwise the 300-second gate admits every overdue Every record in target/create order: the owner derives each latest occurrence, constructs the complete JSON batch before enqueue, synchronously queues one `followup()`, and appends one independent `{ id, acceptedAt }` dispatch per record. The gate's spacing directly limits every half-open 24-hour window to at most 288 recurring model turns; no second counter or quota exists. Waking input remains parked until maintenance settles, so the driver cannot claim the message before dispatch enters the log; only after the task releases the phase does the owner wait for the shared dispatch barrier. A framing or synchronous enqueue failure is contained and appends no dispatch. An append failure faults that owner because the message may already be queued. A later prompt-admission, request-checkpoint, or model failure cannot retract a dispatch.

Agent or plugin disposal cancels timers, stops new work, unwinds the three tool registrations, and waits for in-flight preflights or idle waits. It never deletes durable records during teardown. The narrow crash interval after synchronous followup admission and before durable dispatch may repeat the reminder after recovery; the design prefers a visible duplicate over silent loss and makes no model-success, user-read, external-effect, or exactly-once promise.

**Parse arbitrary natural-language dates inside Schedule or persist the local input.** A second language parser would compete with the model, and retaining local text or zone beside the resolved instant would create two durable interpretations of one one-shot target. The model emits a narrow structure after seeing time-context; Schedule validates it and stores one UTC fact.
|

|
||||
**Hand-roll an IANA calendar evaluator or expose Croner's full syntax.** Implementing zone transitions locally would duplicate tzdata-sensitive search, while accepting the dependency's names, macros, seconds, years, and Quartz extensions would make an external parser the public contract. The narrow Schedule parser and paused adapter keep language, frequency, lifecycle, and replay policy in their owning package while delegating calendar search.

The design does not recognize or migrate any unmerged Schedule implementation or private storage format. No fixed Session id, claim-before-send record, startup miss, or private database is a compatibility input.

Persistence tests cover new, fork, and resumed initialization failures against the actual durable cursor, optional header round-trips, a real SQLite v13-to-v14 migration, and a production JSONL restart. The assembled Loader/Web restart lane proves pending recovery, fork isolation, one durable dispatch, cold-history rendering without Agent activation, and no redelivery after another restart. Host/client tests cover zone identity across live, stored, and concurrent-create paths; per-operation prompt provenance; commit gating; reversed watermarks; semantic header identity; per-event prefix matching; same-seq upgrades; every window merge exit; and reconnect generations.

Time-context tests cover final pre-step messages, current-turn unique/mixed/missing zone derivation, post-claim steering entering the next step, cancellation, empty suppression, retry, exact snapshot-source validation, and in-flight disposal. Schedule tests independently derive the same request zones from durable `user-rpc` sources, reuse a same-turn marker across an empty continuation, and fail closed without an open-turn marker. The opt-in Loader composition boots the source and built packages. Keyless real-browser scenarios execute `schedule_create` through the complete tool pipeline for the existing short `after` case and one absolute-time case, observe the identity-matched persisted prefix, and render the durable reminder card from attached history. A production-JSONL restart scenario seeds two backdated Every records, resumes the Session through the Web create path, snapshots the exact ordered batch message, verifies one shared `acceptedAt` with two durable dispatches and future targets, and renders both receipts. The deliberately absent model adapter closes each reminder turn with an error after dispatch, proving that model failure does not remove a receipt.
