Fixed-time tasks run in the server’s timezone, but the existing labels show an unqualified wall-clock time. A remote browser can therefore read 14:20 as its own local time.

The list response now reports the server’s timezone, including when no tasks exist. Settings rows, the Run at editor, and thread Automations use that environment’s zone for fixed-time labels. UTC aliases show as UTC; other IANA names remain explicit. Older servers retain their existing labels. Read-only sessions retain the zone while webhook metadata stays hidden. Scheduling and stored tasks are unchanged.

Thanks @ScottN-PV for tracing the ambiguity and the read-only response path in #18653. This takeover preserves the contributor’s commits, merges current main, and replaces the PoC formatter tests and duplicate summary rendering with two behavior regressions and the existing label/tooltip patterns.

SurfaceBefore: mainAfter: this branch

Captured on headless Linux Chromium at 1280×800, browser UTC and server America/New_York, with matching paused synthetic tasks. Baseline: c274a25151; candidate: 2c490d0900. No provider was launched.

The narrow Automations line exposes its full schedule and zone on hover or keyboard focus. Escape closes it while retaining focus; the next Tab reaches Edit. The popup contains the schedule, without the relative next-run text.

Keyboard flow recording

First-task editor with an empty list:

An empty task list still supplies America/New_York to the Run at editor

Validation: 107 focused tests pass across all scheduled-task suites, contracts and the two web suites. The three suites tracked during test trimming go from 27 to 29 tests; three PoC tests were replaced by two behavior regressions. Both regressions fail on unchanged production. Scoped lint/type-aware checks and formatting pass; three unchanged unused-variable warnings remain in ws.ts. No repo-wide or full-app typecheck was run.

Real authenticated RPC verification used separate operator and orchestration:read sessions: list, initial subscription, and subscription update all preserve America/New_York while hiding webhook metadata from read-only clients. The operator response includes it. Both the scoped and All environments Settings paths were checked with one connected environment, along with an existing-task and empty-list editor.

Independent Opus and Sol whole-PR reviews found no code issues in round 1. Sol independently passed all 107 focused tests; Opus also verified the service regression under Asia/Kolkata.

Not verified: multiple connected environments with different zones, relay/tunnel, actual scheduled provider execution, screen readers, Electron shell, macOS, Windows, iOS or Android. Mobile labels are deliberately outside this PR’s scope; web and desktop share the changed components.

Takeover: GPT-6-Astra (tests), GPT-6.1-Sol (implementation and coordination), Claude Opus 5.5 and GPT-6-Sol (reviews), through Codex and Claude harnesses in T3 Code.

Approvability

Verdict: Approved at b149e01

Macroscope's review found this PR approvable — This is a contained scheduled-task labeling fix: it adds optional server timezone metadata and updates existing UI labels without changing task execution or stored data. The additive contract change preserves older-server behavior, and the new logic is covered by focused tests.

📝 Walkthrough

The scheduled-task list response now includes the server time zone. Settings and thread automation views use it to label fixed-time schedules. Thread schedule summaries also include next-run or paused status.

Changes: Scheduled-task time-zone display

Layer / File(s)Summary
Expose the server time zone
packages/contracts/src/scheduledTask.ts, apps/server/src/scheduledTasks/ScheduledTaskService.ts, apps/server/src/ws.ts, apps/server/src/scheduledTasks/ScheduledTaskService.schedule.test.ts		The list result adds an optional time zone, and the service returns the server’s local zone. The WebSocket response preserves the result for sessions with the operate scope; other sessions continue to receive tasks without webhook fields. A test checks the time zone on an empty list.
Show time zones in settings
apps/web/src/components/settings/scheduledTasksSettings.logic.ts, apps/web/src/components/settings/ScheduledTasksSettings.tsx, apps/web/src/components/settings/scheduledTasksSettings.logic.test.ts		Settings normalize UTC labels and append available time zones to fixed-time schedule labels. The editor displays the time zone beside the fixed-run editor. Tests cover UTC aliases, other zone names, and an absent zone.
Show schedule summaries in threads
apps/web/src/components/chat/ThreadAutomationsPanel.tsx		Thread schedule text includes the task time zone and next-run or paused status. The text appears in a truncated, keyboard-focusable tooltip.

Priority: ➖ Normal

Estimated code review effort: 2 (Simple) | ~12 minutes

Change: Bug fix

Suggested reviewers: juliusmarminge

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to 34c95

Read-only sessions retain the time-zone label while webhook details remain hidden. A focused regression test for that response path is still missing, so merging is reasonable with that test as a follow-up.

Security architecture risk: ⚪ Minimal · up to 34c95

The change adds server time-zone labels without changing task execution, environment selection, or access to webhook URLs. No material security risk was identified in the reviewed change.

Retained concerns No architecture-level concerns identified.

Security review details

Security Blast Radius

  • observed — The added disclosure is the server's local time-zone identifier to existing scheduled-task list and subscription recipients, including read-only sessions. The changed response contract adds no credential or additional task collection.

Trust Boundaries and Controls

  • observed — The time-zone value flows into React text rendering, not an executable or navigation sink. Existing environment identifiers and operation-scope checks remain attached to task controls; the new value is not included in save, toggle, or run commands.

Explanation

The description is mostly complete. It explains the problem and change, documents scope and compatibility, includes screenshots and keyboard-flow evidence, reports focused verification results, states limitations, and identifies the agents and harnesses used. It does not explicitly link the maintainer approval required by the template, but the remaining content is sufficiently detailed.

Add a restricted-session regression test for the scheduled-task list wrapper.

The current service test does not exercise withVisibleWebhookUrls. Test a session with only read scope through scheduledTasks.list and assert that timeZone remains present while webhook is removed. Reverting the spread would omit timeZone, so fixed-time labels would lose the server-zone suffix.

JJulius Marminge22d ago

Taking over this one as maintainer for batch scheduler-tasks-02. I will preserve your commits, merge current main, and rebuild the minimum server-timezone labels with focused coverage and fresh before/after evidence. Thanks @ScottN-PV for tracing the remote-client ambiguity and read-only metadata path.
