feat(autorun): schedule an Auto Run to start at a specific date/time#1429pedramamini wants to merge 1 commit into
Conversation
Adds a "Start: Now / At a set time" control to the Auto Run window, alongside the worktree toggle. When a time is set, Go becomes Schedule and the run fires once at that point. Backed by Maestro Cue rather than a second scheduler. Cue already owns fire timing, persistence across restarts, the missed-fire grace window, and an activity log; a parallel timer inside the Auto Run panel would duplicate all four and eventually disagree with Cue about one of them. Adds `action: 'autorun'` to CueAction so a subscription can name an Auto Run directly, instead of the three-part assembly (time.once + action: command + maestro-cli auto-run --launch) users had to wire by hand. Two behaviors are deliberate, and both address ways a scheduled run can silently disappear: - The document list is captured at SCHEDULE time as absolute paths and travels on the subscription. An agent's Auto Run folder is a mutable setting, so resolving it at fire time means repointing that folder runs a different document set than the user picked. - A failed launch returns `failed`, and scheduled tasks are written with `self_destruct_on_failure: false`. A time.once sub is consumed on any terminal status, so without this a failed 6am launch would delete its own schedule and leave nothing to inspect. Scheduling ignores "agent is busy" and "an Auto Run is already active": those describe the agent now, not at the fire time. The engine re-checks readiness when the run actually fires. Closes #716

Document failed-launch retention.
The table says that a schedule is gone after it fires. Scheduled Auto Runs use keepOnFailure: true, so a failed launch remains in Scheduled Tasks for inspection. State that successful one-shot runs are removed, but failed launches are retained.

Persist the Auto Run payload with queued events.
Line 921 stores autoRun only in memory. The persistence payload omits it, and src/main/cue/cue-engine.ts restores queued entries without it. After a restart, a queued action: 'autorun' run has no captured documents and cannot launch the scheduled Auto Run.
Extend the persisted queue record and restore path to carry autoRun. Add a restart test for an Auto Run queued by concurrency gating.

🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟠 Major | 🏗️ Heavy lift
Preserve or reject the omitted run options.
handleSchedule does not serialize taskSelectionMode or worktreeTarget. The immediate Spec-Driven path passes both options to onGo. The schedule UI keeps both controls available.
A scheduled run with document-scoped context will use the executor default. A scheduled run with a selected worktree will run against the current agent instead. Extend the Auto Run Cue contract and executor payload to preserve both options. Otherwise, disable scheduling when either option is selected and explain the limitation. Add regression coverage for both cases.

Greptile SummaryAdds Cue-backed one-shot scheduling to Spec-Driven Auto Runs, including a local-time picker, persisted document payloads, a new autorun Cue action, renderer launch bridging, and failure-retention behavior.
Confidence Score: 4/5The PR should not merge until scheduled runs preserve the selected worktree and fresh-context mode; the helper-placement issue is non-blocking. Scheduled launches currently discard two user-selected execution settings, causing delayed work to run in the owning checkout with per-task context rather than with the configuration shown in the modal.

When a user selects a worktree target or document-level fresh context and then schedules the run, handleSchedule omits both settings from the Cue payload, causing the delayed run to execute in the owning checkout with per-task context instead of the configuration selected in the modal.

autoRunTaskLabel is a pure scheduled-task helper, but it is defined in the main-process filesystem module rather than src/shared/cue/scheduled-tasks.ts. This prevents the renderer and CLI from sharing the same label behavior and encourages the scheduled-task surfaces to drift.

Closes #716
What
Auto Run documents could only be launched immediately. This adds a Start control to the Auto Run window, sitting alongside the worktree toggle exactly as the issue suggested:
The Go button becomes Schedule when a time is set. One-shot only, per the issue.
How: a thin Cue-backed scheduler, not a second one
The previous attempt (#1304) shipped its own store, its own persistence, and its own 15-second poll. That branch was closed with the note that "a fresh take should probably ask whether this is a thin Cue-backed scheduler rather than a second parallel scheduling system." This is that take.
Cue's
time.oncealready owns fire timing, persistence across restarts, the missed-fire grace window, and a visible activity log. A parallel timer would duplicate all four and eventually disagree with Cue about one of them. So scheduling writes atime.oncesubscription and nothing else schedules anything.The missing piece was that Cue had no way to name an Auto Run -
CueActionwasprompt | command | notify, and the only route was the three-part assembly (time.once+action: command+maestro-cli auto-run --launch) that the issue thread identified as working-but-undiscoverable. This addsaction: 'autorun'as a first-class action, which also drops the dependency onmaestro-clibeing installed and on PATH.CueAutoRunConfig(shared/cue/contracts.ts)cue-autorun-executor.tsCueRunResultcue-autorun-bridge.tsremote:configureAutoRunchannel - launching an Auto Run is renderer-ownedScheduleRunSection.tsxThe two findings that closed #1304
Both were called out as data-loss shaped. They're addressed structurally here, and each has a test.
1. A due schedule was consumed before the launch was accepted. A
time.oncesub is consumed on any terminal status, so a failed launch deleted its own schedule - the user set a run for 6am, it never happened, and nothing was left to inspect. Here a failed launch returnsfailed, and scheduled tasks are written withself_destruct_on_failure: false(an existing flag,keepOnFailure), so the subscription survives on disk. The distinction the status encodes is "my 6am run failed" vs "my 6am run never existed".2. The folder was resolved at launch time rather than captured with the schedule. An agent's Auto Run folder is a mutable setting, so repointing it between scheduling and firing ran a different document set than the user chose. Documents are now resolved to absolute paths at schedule time and travel on the subscription.
Decisions worth a second opinion
time.oncedefault rather than being re-picked here, so both scheduling surfaces behave identically.Testing
cue-autorun-executor.test.ts- pins thecompleted/failedsemantics that decide whether a schedule survives, and that the launched documents are the captured ones.cue-config-validator.test.ts-auto_runrequired, non-empty documents,reset_on_completionalignment,agent_idrequired,fan_outrejected.cue-scheduled-tasks.test.ts- full YAML round-trip on disk,self_destruct_on_failure: falsesurvives, autorun refuses to pair with a prompt/notify.cue-dispatch-service.test.ts- payload threading, and refusing to dispatch a document-less autorun.ScheduleRunSection.test.ts- local-timezone round-trip. AtoISOString()here would shift every run by the UTC offset, and the failure is invisible on a UTC box.Full suite green locally: 1615 files, 38636 tests.
npm run lintandnpx eslint src/clean.Windows CI still needs to confirm - nothing here touches path separators, but the local run is a single OS.
Not included
The thread also drew a request for a watched folder where new documents are discovered and executed. That's a different shape and Maestro Cue covers that ground, so it's out of scope here.
