Permission mode is a per-session runtime choice, while scheduled tasks cannot rely on a human approval loop. This removes the General settings permission surface, persists session permission metadata, and forces scheduled tasks to run with bypass permissions. Runtime permission changes now handle both directions across bypass boundaries, including startup/prewarm races, by persisting first and restarting only when the CLI launch mode must change.
Constraint: Scheduled tasks must be able to execute without a human standing by for authorization.
Constraint: The CLI only honors bypass permissions when launched with the skip-permissions flag, so switching to or from bypass requires a restart.
Rejected: Keep a global General permission default | it can leak across sessions and scheduled runs in ways the user cannot reason about.
Confidence: high
Scope-risk: broad
Directive: Do not reintroduce a global UI permission selector without proving it cannot affect unrelated sessions or automations.
Tested: bun test src/server/__tests__/conversations.test.ts -t "permission" --timeout 30000 (10 pass, 0 fail)
Tested: bun run check:server (858 pass, 0 fail)
Tested: cd desktop && bun run check:desktop (760 tests plus production build passed)
Tested: desktop/scripts/build-macos-arm64.sh and codesign verification passed
Tested: Real DeepSeek smoke validated plan, bypass, and scheduled task permission behavior
Not-tested: Did not repeat the full DeepSeek smoke after the final startup-race hardening; mock WebSocket permission regression and full server gate were rerun after that change.
Fixes#632
Scheduled tasks used the model selector in model-only mode, so a task could store a third-party model id without the provider runtime needed to execute it. The desktop task editor now stores the selected provider with the model, and the scheduler injects the same provider-scoped runtime env that desktop sessions use before launching the sidecar.
Constraint: Scheduled tasks run outside an active desktop websocket session, so provider runtime must be serialized on the task itself.
Rejected: Reuse session runtime localStorage for tasks | scheduled executions can run long after the UI session is gone.
Confidence: high
Scope-risk: moderate
Directive: Keep task execution provider env isolated from inherited process env; stale parent ANTHROPIC_* values must not override task provider choices.
Tested: cd desktop && bun run test -- src/components/tasks/NewTaskModal.test.tsx src/components/controls/ModelSelector.test.tsx
Tested: bun test src/server/__tests__/scheduled-tasks.test.ts src/server/__tests__/cron-scheduler-launcher.test.ts
Tested: bun run check:desktop
Tested: bun run check:server
Tested: git diff --check
Not-tested: Live third-party provider API call; covered by sidecar launch integration with provider proxy env.
Add native system notifications as a desktop-wide attention channel for permission prompts and scheduled task completion. The implementation keeps notification presentation owned by the OS, adds a user-facing enable switch with permission handling, and lets scheduled tasks choose desktop notifications without routing that channel through IM adapters.
Constraint: Notifications must use OS-native APIs without custom sound playback.
Constraint: Desktop channel is local-only and must not be sent through IM adapter delivery.
Rejected: Browser Notification API | not reliable inside the packaged Tauri desktop runtime.
Rejected: Treat desktop as an IM channel | would leak a local-only channel into server-side adapter sending.
Confidence: high
Scope-risk: moderate
Directive: Keep notification styling at the OS layer; business code should only provide title, body, dedupe, and routing decisions.
Tested: bun run check:desktop
Tested: bun run quality:pr
Tested: Computer Use macOS debug app verification for settings toggle, permission prompt, scheduled task desktop channel, and task-run polling dedupe
Not-tested: Windows and Linux native runtime smoke tests on physical hosts
- Add 7 frequency modes (every N min/hours, daily, weekdays, specific days, monthly, custom cron) with progressive disclosure UI
- Add "Run Now" button with confirmation popover and fire-and-forget API
- Add execution logs panel (TaskRunsPanel) with auto-polling and accordion behavior
- Add task edit mode with cron reverse-parsing (parseCron) to populate form
- Add server-side extractAssistantText to store meaningful AI responses instead of raw NDJSON
- Fix session linking: pass --session-id to CLI subprocess so "View conversation" navigates to actual content
- Fix MACRO undefined error by adding --preload to Bun.spawn
- Add confirmation popovers for all destructive actions (run/disable/delete)
- Add DayOfWeekPicker component for specific-days scheduling
- Add cronDescribe utility with i18n support and unit tests
- Display task creation time and last run time
- Add ~50 i18n keys (en/zh) for all new UI elements

Add a lightweight custom i18n system supporting English (default)
and Chinese, with a language switcher in Settings > General.
All 35+ UI components internationalized with ~270 translation keys,
including 189 Chinese spinner verbs and server error code mapping.
Refactor PermissionModeSelector and ModelSelector to support controlled
(prop-driven) mode alongside the existing store-driven mode, enabling
reuse in the new task creation dialog. Rewrite NewTaskModal with embedded
prompt editor that combines textarea + permission/model/folder controls,
matching Claude's original design. Add desktop-online warning banner on
the scheduled tasks list page and default folder to current session workDir.

- Settings: new Providers tab with full CRUD, activation, and connectivity
test; Model tab shows active provider name; General tab simplified
- Tasks: new CLI Tasks page displaying task lists from ~/.claude/tasks/
with status, owner, and dependency (blocks/blockedBy) visualization
- NewTaskModal: add Advanced options (model, permission mode, working dir)
- Backend: fix TaskService to parse CLI V2 task format; extend /api/tasks
with /lists endpoint for grouped queries
- Fix ModelInfo.context type from number to string

The desktop app now keeps the composer stable while turns are active,
reduces low-signal tool noise in the transcript, restores project context
under the composer after session creation, and relies on the CLI's own
permission requests instead of injecting broader desktop-side Bash asks.
This also brings in the supporting desktop app source tree and the server
routes/session metadata needed for git info, filesystem browsing, session
resume, slash commands, and SDK-backed permission bridging so the UI can
operate as a coherent feature instead of a partial patch.
Constraint: Desktop transcript needs to stay usable during long multi-tool sessions without hiding file-change diffs
Constraint: Permission prompts must mirror CLI behavior closely enough that read-only commands do not get desktop-only prompts
Rejected: Keep rendering Read/Bash bodies inline | too noisy and unlike the intended transcript model
Rejected: Commit only the touched desktop files | would leave the newly introduced desktop app incomplete in git history
Confidence: medium
Scope-risk: broad
Reversibility: messy
Directive: Treat non-writing tools as summary-first transcript events; do not re-expand them by default without validating the UX against long sessions
Tested: cd desktop && bun run lint
Tested: cd desktop && bun run test -- --run
Tested: bun test src/server/__tests__/conversations.test.ts
Not-tested: Manual visual regression against the exact screenshots in a live desktop session
Not-tested: Full root TypeScript check (repository still has unrelated extracted-native parse failures)
