Problem

Scheduled tasks created or edited in Settings (web and mobile) default the worktree base branch to a hardcoded main. On a repository whose default branch is master (or anything else), every run fails with ref_not_found before the prompt starts. #27983 fixed this for MCP schedule_task and left the Settings form alone.

Change

The Settings form now treats an empty base branch as automatic. It resolves the base from the project's refs: first the ref the server marks as default (from origin/HEAD), then main or master (local or origin/), then main. The form works this out when it shows the field and again at save, and doesn't store the result in the draft. As a result:

  • an untouched new form doesn't count as having unsaved changes;
  • the base follows a change of project;
  • a branch the user picks is never replaced.

A task that has no worktree also opens with an automatic base, so switching it to a worktree starts from the default branch. There's no contract or server change.

Verification

  • Focused cases in scheduledTasksSettings.logic.test.ts (web) and scheduledTaskDraft.test.ts (mobile). On main, 8 of the new cases fail. With the fix, and after merging current main (#31379 touched the same files), both files pass (50 tests).
  • vp run check:changed origin/main passes: format, lint, knip, typecheck (3 packages), tests (3 files) and React compiler (5 files).
  • Before/after in a real client, on a project whose only branch is master. New task form, project switched to that project. Before: the base branch shows main, which doesn't exist. After: it shows master.

Limitations

  • Saving before the project's refs have loaded still saves main.
  • The main/master fallback only looks at the first page of refs (100).
  • When the default branch exists locally, Settings saves its bare name (master), not origin/master as MCP does. Launch resolves a bare name through the branch's upstream.
  • A repository with no recorded remote HEAD and a default branch other than main or master still falls back to main, as with MCP.
  • Existing tasks keep their stored base.

Scope

Refs #27488. This is a focused fix for an obvious bug: the branch name is hardcoded in the Settings form, and only how that one value is resolved changes. It relates to #31379, where unbindDraftFromThread switches a root task to a worktree and keeps draft.baseRef. With this change, that value is the automatic "" and resolves to the project's default branch. That addresses CodeRabbit's main-on-master finding there, and neither PR depends on the other.

Walkthrough

Mobile and web scheduled-task settings resolve blank worktree base refs from project branch data. Explicit refs remain selected. Non-worktree drafts use an empty base ref.

Changes: Worktree base ref selection

Layer / File(s)Summary
Draft defaults and base-ref resolution
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
Both platforms resolve a blank worktree base ref from a default branch, then matching main or master refs, with main as the final fallback. Non-worktree drafts use an empty base ref. Tests cover explicit and automatic selection.
Mobile settings integration
apps/mobile/src/features/settings/SettingsScheduledTasksRouteScreen.tsx, apps/mobile/src/features/settings/ScheduledTaskPickerScreens.tsx
Mobile settings load branches for automatic base selection, submit the resolved ref, and use it for branch labeling. The picker uses the resolved ref when branch data is available. Saving is blocked while the lookup is pending.
Web settings integration
apps/web/src/components/settings/ScheduledTasksSettings.tsx
Web settings load branches for automatic base selection, save the resolved ref, and display an empty picker value while the lookup is pending. Saving is blocked while the lookup is pending.

Merge Risk: External image Minimal · up to 3ae8d

Scheduled tasks created from Settings now start from the project's default branch, and saving waits for branch lookup to finish. Known limitations are documented and match previous behavior. No actionable merge-blocking risk remains.

The description includes the problem, change, verification, scope rationale, limitations, test results, and before/after UI evidence. It uses a "Scope" heading instead of the template's "Scope and approval" heading, but it explains the focused-fix exemption and links a related issue, so the description is sufficiently complete.

258-272: External image Trivial · Maintainability & Code Quality · Poor tradeoff

Duplicate resolver: mobile and web now carry identical copies of scheduledTaskWorktreeBaseRef.

The web file apps/web/src/components/settings/scheduledTasksSettings.logic.ts has the same function body. Both copies must stay in sync. Repo guidance puts shared logic in packages/client-runtime. Consider moving the resolver there so one test covers both clients.

This is a deferrable refactor. The two copies agree today.

Wait for refs before saving an automatic base.

If refs are still loading, submit can save main instead of the project’s default branch, while the picker shows no base. Block submission and disable the save button until refs load. Handle lookup failures with a retry or explicit fallback so the form does not remain blocked.

✅ Addressed in commit a964ff7

Fixed in a964ff7ee7 on web and mobile. When the base is automatic, Create/Save is disabled (and submit/save return early) while the project's refs are still loading, so the form can't save main while the picker shows nothing. If the lookup fails, save is allowed again and falls back to main, as it did before this PR, so the form never stays blocked. Choosing a branch explicitly also unblocks save right away, and a draft with no project selected is not blocked. Web and mobile typecheck clean; scheduledTasksSettings.logic.test.ts and scheduledTaskDraft.test.ts pass.

@binjamshid Thanks for the fix. The loading guards are in place on web and mobile.

One case remains: if the ref lookup fails, saving uses main, but the branch field shows “Select ref” on web and “Choose branch” on mobile. Please show the fallback branch or require a branch selection or retry before saving.

@binjamshid Thanks for fixing the loading race.

On mobile, a failed lookup can still save main while the row shows Choose branch. Could the row show the fallback branch when saving is allowed?

Thank you for using CodeRabbit!

You are interacting with an AI system.

Done in 393d741c2e. On both web and mobile the base row now hides the value only while the lookup is in flight. Once a lookup fails, the row shows the fallback base (main) that Save will store, so the displayed and saved values match.

Resolve fallback branches beyond the first page

When the first page has no default or main and master appears later, the automatic web form saves main. If main cannot be resolved locally or fetched from origin, later worktree preparation can fail with ref_not_found.

Make the automatic lookup consider the fallback candidates before saving. A shared refs ordering change could cover both clients; keep explicit branch selections independent of that lookup.

Resolve the automatic base beyond the first page

If no default or main exists and master is after the first 100 refs, the form saves main. A later run can fail worktree preparation because that ref does not exist.

Check the remaining pages before falling back to main. Keep explicit branch selections independent of the automatic lookup; paging in the picker does not update its state.

Not changing this here. Refs come back sorted by most recent commit, and the server flags the repository's default branch (isDefault, from origin/HEAD). So this case needs a repo with no detectable default branch, no main, and master outside the 100 most recently updated refs. There the form saves main, which is what it always saved before this PR, so it isn't a regression. Paging through every ref page to cover it would add a lookup loop to the form for a rare setup; picking the branch explicitly covers it.

@binjamshid Understood. In this case, the form retains the previous main fallback, and selecting the branch explicitly is a workaround. I won’t pursue pagination in this PR.

Would you like me to open a follow-up issue for this limitation?

  • fix(web,mobile): a failed ref lookup shows the fallback base the task will save393d741

Note

Written by claude-opus-5-5 on behalf of Maria

Update: merged main

merged main into this branch (3ae8dd7840, merge commit, no rebase) to resolve conflicts. the conflicts were only in the import lists of ScheduledTasksSettings.tsx and scheduledTasksSettings.logic.test.ts; both sides were kept and there are no other source changes. vp run check:changed against main passed through blacksmith-check: format, lint, knip, typecheck, tests, and react compiler checks.

the pagination finding (a default branch beyond the first page of refs) stays as-is: refs are sorted by recency, the server flags the default branch, and the old fallback was the same main.

the verification below was written earlier by gpt-6.1-sol against head 393d741.


Verified in a real dev environment

verified unchanged head 393d741c2ed33b897afffa74670f221aae32a48f on linux using the real dev web app, repository playwright dependencies, system google chrome, and codex gpt-6.1-sol through the local provider proxy. projects and tasks were created through the app, with no mocks or fixtures.

  • on github/main (2922e8fb59), settings selected nonexistent main for a real repository defaulting to master. saving and clicking run now produced a failed thread with git worktree add failed (ref_not_found) before the provider started.
  • on this head, the matching form selected and saved master. run now created a worktree and completed a real codex turn. a one-minute interval also created successful threads automatically.
  • switching projects changed the automatic base from main to master. an untouched form closed without a discard prompt. explicitly choosing release survived save/reopen and ran from its distinct commit.
  • vp run check:changed FETCH_HEAD passed through blacksmith-check after fetching main and the pr history: format, lint, knip, affected typechecks, adjacent tests, and react compiler checks. the 50 focused web/mobile tests also passed separately. existing ci reports 28 successful checks.

Not verified

native ios/android and the electron shell were not exercised on this linux web verification pass. other providers, remote/relay/tunnel connections, failed ref lookups, and refs beyond the first page were not exercised. the documented fallback limitations remain outside this verification. no source changes were needed.
