+# Schedules (`chi schedule`)
+
+A **schedule** is a prompt with a clock. It lives in one file on this machine, not in a
+worker's memory, so it outlives every session, every restart and every crash:
+`~/.local/state/samagotchi/schedules.json` (next to `sessions/`, written with
+`AtomicFile`, every change a read-modify-write under `schedules.lock`, so cron and
+chi web's hub can never lose an update to each other). A **tick** — cron, systemd,
+launchd, `chi schedule tick`, or chi web's hub when `schedule.auto_tick` is on —
+walks the entries whose `next_due` has passed and runs the ones that are not busy.
+
+Each entry carries `id`, an optional `title`, `anchor` (the session it was made
+against, never rewritten: the chain's root and the id you remember), `head` (the
+chain's current link, re-anchored after every firing: the link a chain continue
+made, or the session a `same` turn was queued into), `mode`,
+`prompt`, `recurrence`, `catch_up`, `keep_links`, `max_failures`, `max_skips`,
+`next_due` (UTC ISO), `last_fired`, `last_result`, `failures`, `skips` and
+`enabled`.
+
+<a id="reminder-vs-schedule"></a>## Reminder or schedule?
+
+`register_reminder` and `chi schedule` are separate on purpose; which one you want
+depends on whether the worker has to be running.
+
+| | `register_reminder` | `chi schedule` |
+|---|---|---|
+| Where it lives | the worker's `Engine` (`ReminderStore`), in memory | `<state dir>/schedules.json`, durable |
+| Who fires it | `IdleReminders`, inside a live idle worker | `chi schedule tick`, run by cron/systemd (or the hub when opted in) |
+| Needs a worker | yes — and a reminder *holds* the worker up | no — it wakes one when none runs |
+| Survives a stop, a crash, an archive | only the short asked-restart hand-off (`ReminderCarry`, 2 min) | yes, until cancelled |
+| Longest interval | 1440 minutes | unlimited (`every`, `weekday`, `date`) |
+| What it produces | a turn in the same session | a new chain link, or a queued turn in the same session |
+
+A schedule turn carries `client_id: "system:schedule:<id>"`, so `ClientId.origin`
+says `schedule` and the terminal and the web label it as such rather than as
+something you typed. Like `register_reminder`, the schedule tools are owner-voiced:
+a participant's review or pair turn is denied them ([guardrails.md](guardrails.md)).
+
+## The two modes
+
+- **chain** (the default) runs the prompt as the **next link of the session's chain**:
+  the head is archived, a new link is created with the carry note
+  ([sessions.md, Session chains](sessions.md#session-chains)), and `head` moves to it.
+  This is the "same routine, fresh context" case: a daily coordinator that starts each
+  day with the recap of the last one instead of a 40-link transcript.
+- **same** queues the prompt as a turn **in the session itself**
+  (`SessionManager.deliver_turn`, `Delivery::QUEUE`), waking a worker when none runs.
+  It prunes nothing, and it never archives anything. Like chain mode, it follows
+  `head` through the chain: once the session is continued — by a chain schedule or
+  by a `chi send --continues` — the turn goes to the new link, not to the archived
+  anchor the schedule was made against.
+
+A `scratch` session is refused at `add`: it is deleted when its terminal leaves.
+A prompt is checked at `add` too — non-empty and at most 16 KiB
+(`SessionInbox::NOTE_MAX_BYTES`); a blank one would archive a link and start an
+idle session for nothing.
+
+## Recurrence
+
+One kind per schedule:
+
+| Kind | Written as | How the next due is computed |
+|---|---|---|
+| `every` | `--every 45m` / `2h` / `1d` | interval arithmetic from the firing — `next_due = fired_at + interval` |
+| `weekday` | `--weekday 1 --time 09:00` (1=Mon … 7=Sun) | the next such wall-clock moment in the machine's local zone, strictly after now (today counts if the time is still ahead), stored as UTC |
+| `date` | `--date 2026-11-20` or `--date 2026-11-20T09:00` | one local moment; after it fires the entry is disabled |
+
+**The DST caveat.** `every` is interval math in UTC, so an `every 1d` schedule
+drifts by an hour across a DST fold: fired Monday 09:00, its next due is Tuesday
+09:00 UTC, which is a different hour on the wall clock after the change. For a
+schedule at a *time of day*, use `--weekday` (or `--date`): those build the moment
+with `Time.local` for the candidate date, so `Mon 09:00` stays 09:00 local across
+the fold. If a local moment does not exist (a spring-forward gap), it fires at the
+next valid minute. Schedules use the machine's local clock; there are no named
+time zones.
+
+`catch_up` says what an overdue entry does when the tick arrives after its moment:
+
+- `once` (default): fire once now, then reschedule normally.
+- `none`: fire only when the tick is near the moment. "Missed" — `last_result:
+  "missed"` and the entry moves to its next occurrence — is a **whole cycle**, not
+  a late tick: it happens only when the occurrence *after* the one it missed is
+  already past, which is what the file looks like when the machine was asleep
+  across the interval. A `Mon 09:00` schedule ticked at 09:20 fires; the same
+  entry first seen the following Monday is missed and moves to the Monday after.
+  A `date` one-off has no next occurrence to compare with, so it is never missed:
+  it fires late, once.
+
+## The busy check
+
+A cron tick cannot read a worker's memory, so the tick has two paths.
+
+**No live worker** (the usual case for a weekly schedule): the files say what can
+be known — the saved status is not `running` (and not inside the starting grace),
+`input/` is empty, no step-limit question is open. Nothing else can be busy.
+
+**A live worker**: ask it, over the new Bridge route
+`GET /session/:id/activity` (`Worker#activity_snapshot`, the same signals
+`WorkerIdleExit#hold` reads): `{turn_running, input_pending, awaiting_continue,
+open_streams, reminders, tasks_holding}`. It is in `Bridge::FEATURES`, so a worker
+from an older chi has no such route, and any non-200 from it is read as "older":
+the tick says to restart that worker.
+
+- `turn_running`, `input_pending` or `awaiting_continue` ⇒ busy, in both modes.
+- `open_streams` (a terminal attached, or a web tab open on the session) counts
+  **only for chain mode**: a chain firing archives the session and stops its
+  worker, which would cut off the person looking at it. A queued turn into an open
+  session is fine, so `same` mode ignores streams.
+- **An older worker is itself a busy signal for chain mode.** Its 404 must not fall
+  back to the file checks: those cannot see an open tab, so the firing would
+  archive under someone's terminal. The tick skips it with "its worker is too old
+  to ask: `chi sessions restart ID`" — chi's usual rule for an older worker:
+  refuse with a restart, never silently degrade. `same` mode, which only queues a
+  turn, may use the file checks.
+
+A `chi send --wait` or a parent's `delegate` wait is **not** busy: `ReplyWait::Poll`
+reads the session files and `GET /session/:id/state`, never `open_stream`, so a
+coordinator waiting on its own child does not block that child's chain.
+
+Schedules never hold a worker up: unlike reminders, they are not in
+`WorkerIdleExit#hold` (FR14) — the whole point is that the worker may be gone and
+the tick wakes it.
+
+## Skip, not failure
+
+A firing that cannot run now is a **skip**: nothing happens, `skips += 1`,
+`last_result: "skipped"`, and `next_due` goes back to the occurrence this tick tried
+(the tick advances the clock before acting and keeps that moment as `due_was`, so the
+next tick tries it again — a weekly schedule skipped on its Monday is retried at that
+Monday, not a week later). A failure restores it the same way. A `date` entry is the
+exception: advancing it spends it, so it comes back at that same moment.
+Skips
+are the refusals that mean "not this moment": `ArchiveRefused` with `busy`, `queued`
+or `offer`, or `busy_child`/`queued_child`/`offer_child` (a chain's own running
+delegate refuses the archive, since `archivable!` walks the whole descendant tree),
+`SessionContinue::Refused(:continued)` (a human continued it while we were
+resolving) and `:open_children`.
+
+Anything else is a **failure** (`failures += 1`): a gone or archived target,
+`SessionContinue::Refused(:folder_gone)`, `SessionManager::DeleteRefused`,
+`ModelProfile::MissingModel`, `OwnedByTUI`, `Session::NotFound`, and anything a
+spawn throws (`Errno::ENOSPC` included — `run_locked` re-raises it after undoing
+the move, so it is never mistaken for a skip). A `DeleteRefused(:worker_running)`
+hit while pruning stops the pruning for that firing, is logged, and is not a
+schedule failure.
+
+`skips >= max_skips` (default 12) or `failures >= max_failures` (default 3)
+disables the entry and `chi schedule list` says why. **Any successful firing resets
+both counters**, so twelve skips spread over months do not kill a healthy weekly
+schedule. `list` prints the skip budget as a time window — 12 skips at a 5 minute
+tick is about an hour of patience, which is what the count really measures.
+
+A chain holds at most `schedule.max_per_session` enabled schedules (default 10) and
+the machine `schedule.max_total` (default 50); `schedule_task` and `chi schedule add`
+refuse past them, naming the key. A schedule the chain already has — the same prompt
+and recurrence, or the same title — is refused too, naming its id, so a routine that
+tells each of its links to "make sure the Monday audit is scheduled" cannot multiply
+itself. `schedule_task`, `list_schedules` and `cancel_schedule` see only schedules of
+the calling session's chain (`all: true` steps outside it); `chi schedule list` is
+always the machine-wide view. An id, prefix or title that matches more than one entry
+is refused with exit 2, naming the matches.
+
+The tick's lock covers the file only, never the action: the clock advances before
+the work starts — for `every` and `weekday` to the next occurrence, for a `date`
+one-off to none — so a tick killed mid-continue cannot fire the same entry twice.
+`firing_since` is what `chi schedule show` prints; the advanced clock is the guard.
+And a `chi schedule add` from a terminal never waits on an archive or a recap wait. Chain mode targets `last:<head>`, so `SessionContinue.run`'s
+own retry loop follows a continue a human made between our resolve and its lock
+instead of racing it.
+
+## Keeping the chain short
+
+`keep_links` (default `schedule.default_keep_links`, `0` keeps all) is how many
+chain links stay behind the head. After a successful chain firing — and after the
+result is recorded under the lock, so a prune that raises midway cannot lose the
+new `head` — the walk goes backwards from `head` and every link older than the
+window is deleted **together with its delegated children** (`descendant_ids`): the
+whole subtree only when every session in it is archived and no worker owns any of
+it, deepest child first and the link last, oldest link first. A subtree with a live
+worker or an unarchived descendant is left whole and retried at the next firing. Pruning a link alone would leave its finished
+delegates archived forever with a dangling `parent_id`: archiving a session archives
+its descendants, and archived sessions are outside the retention sweep
+([sessions.md](sessions.md)), so the delegate pile is the bulk of the archived
+count. The `anchor` is never pruned: it is the chain's root, the id the user and
+the coordinator remember, and `last:<anchor>` must keep resolving.
+
+The oldest kept link still has `continues` naming a link that is gone. The walks
+follow `continues` forward, so nothing breaks; the web's `↩ #N of M` chip counts
+from the surviving root (pruning renumbers the links) and says "earlier links
+pruned" instead of linking to a deleted session.
+
+If a link to prune still has a worker (`DeleteRefused(:worker_running)`), pruning
+stops there for this firing and is retried at the next one.
+
+## Running the tick
+
+`chi schedule tick` is quiet and safe to run often; it is this machine only
+(`chi --remote studio schedule list` exits 2), so point cron at the chi of this
+machine (cron runs with a thin PATH, so name the binary rather than a shell
+function):
+
+```
+# crontab -e on the machine
+*/5 * * * * /Users/you/.local/share/mise/installs/ruby/global/bin/chi schedule tick >> /Users/you/.local/state/samagotchi/schedule-tick.log 2>&1
+```
+
+Run it from systemd or launchd instead if you prefer a timer: the command is the
+same, `chi schedule tick`, and the lock makes overlapping runs harmless — the
+second one exits 0 with "no schedules due (another tick holds the lock)".
+`--dry-run` prints what would fire and changes nothing; `--format json` is the seam
+for scripts and for a future web UI.
+
+A tick fires **one entry per chain**: of the due entries of one chain, the one due
+earliest (`next_due`, then id) fires and the rest are skipped — "the chain just
+fired; retry at the next tick" — with `skips += 1` and `next_due` left at the
+occurrence they tried, so the chain's entries take turns instead of the first one
+added winning every tick. A second chain
+firing in the same pass would continue the link the first one just made and archive
+it before its prompt ever ran: that link has no worker lock yet and the tick's
+listing predates it, so the busy check cannot see it. `same` entries are unaffected:
+they queue a turn, they do not archive.
+
+`schedule.auto_tick: true` makes chi web's hub tick on
+`schedule.tick_interval_minutes` (default 5) as well, sharing the same lock, so
+cron and the hub can coexist without firing twice. It is off by default: cron or
+systemd is the documented driver.
+
+See [cli.md](cli.md) for the subcommands and flags, and
+[configuration.md](configuration.md) for the `schedule.*` settings.

Every session summary carries `continues`.
 - **The page:** the info bar's `continue →` continues the open session (`continues: <id>, idle: true`; it reads `continuing…` through the recap wait) and opens the new link with an opener in the composer, not sent (a draft written in this session stays instead; one carried over from another session or the start page gives way to the opener, and the toast's **Restore draft** brings it back): the previous link's own first typed message when that link continues one (the 201's `opener`; a `!shell` line isn't taken), else `Continue where we left off.`. So whatever you sent on the last link comes back on the next one, and editing it once changes it for every later link; the previous link is archived, a toast says so (`Continued 3fa2c1d0 in 4b7e9a01; 3fa2c1d0 is archived; 1 open delegate moved`), and a moved delegate's card folds under the new link. When the previous link's model's host is gone the link starts on the default model and the toast carries the server's `model_warning` too, and then stays until closed. A fresh link (one with no turn yet, however it was made: `continue →`, `chi send --new --continues`, a reload) shows the model picker in its composer with the link's model, until its first turn starts (a failed or canceled first turn ends it too); a pick runs `/model <name>` in the link (a command bubble; the info bar follows) and changes neither the start page's remembered model nor its Recent list, and a Send right after it waits for the `/model` to be taken. A link a one-turn `chi --non-interactive` run has, or one continued already, shows none. A link continued already has no `continue →`: its `→` link goes to the next link (a stale page's continue answered 409 `continued` opens `next_id`). A continue refused for open delegates that can't move shows a toast that names each one (its preview and what the server says to do: `older chi worker 0.46.1; restart it`, `in use by a one-turn chi --non-interactive run or an older chi's terminal; let it finish`), each a link to its page; any other refusal shows the server's words. The info bar of a link carries `← 2026-10-08` (the previous link's day) and, on an earlier link, `2026-10-10 →`, each a link with its id, its full start (`2026-10-10 14:32`) and its preview in the tooltip; a neighbour that started on the open link's own day shows its time instead (`← 09:12`, `14:32 →`). A link made by `continue →` inherits the previous link's preview (and its title, if it has one) when it is created, so its card keeps its chain's title whatever opener it is sent, and its top bar and browser tab show its card's title. A link with a recap of its own reads its auto title, else its recap's first sentence, instead (a link without one reads its chain's name, and a first link's recap names its chain). A link whose title is the opener and nothing else (a `chi send --new --continues` link whose first message is `Continue where we left off.`) shows its chain's first link's title instead, on its card, in the popover and in its info bar's title line, display only (its messages and data keep the opener; its own title when the first link is gone). The lists fold a chain into the card of its latest listed link, whatever the earlier links' archived state (typing in an archived link brings it back, folded there still), their delegates with them: the card's `↩ #N` chip (`#N of M` when later links aren't listed; its tooltip `Session chain: link N of M`) opens a popover of the other links, newest first (`#N`, its date, with its time (`2026-10-17 14:32`) when another link of the chain started the same day, its own title when it differs from the card's (a link inherits its chain's, so mostly it doesn't), else its recap's first sentence, else its preview, `archived`), a click opens one; the chip shows a live dot or `waiting` for a link that has a worker or waits on the user, and a waiting link puts its chain's card first. All sessions folds nothing while a search is typed or the `archived` toggle is on: every link is a card of its own then, its chip `#N of M`, with its own delegates folded in, so a search finds an earlier link and its delegates.
 - **CLI:** `chi send --new --continues (ID|PREFIX|last:ID) [--model M] [-m TEXT]` (see *Starting a session*).
-- **Which link:** an id, a unique prefix, or `last:<id or prefix>`, the latest link of the chain that session is in. It walks the links that still exist: a deleted link in the middle (`chi sessions delete`, the retention sweep of an unarchived one) ends the walk before it, so `last:` of an earlier link then names that earlier link, and continuing it starts a second line beside the links after the gap; name a link after the gap instead. A trigger names the chain this way: `chi send` to an archived link would bring it back (a human's input), not continue the chain.

+
+## Schedules
+
+A **schedule** is a prompt with a clock, kept in `<state dir>/schedules.json` and
+fired by a tick that needs no worker — cron, systemd, `chi schedule tick`, or chi
+web's hub when `schedule.auto_tick: true`. `chi schedule add --session ID
+--weekday 1 --time 09:00 -m "…"` makes one; `chi schedule list|show|tick|run-now|enable|disable|cancel`
+read and run it. Each firing is either the **next link of the session's chain**
+(the default: the head is archived, a new link takes its place, and the links
+behind `keep_links` are deleted with their delegates — archived links are outside
+the retention sweep, so this is what bounds them) or a **turn in the session
+itself** (`--mode same`, queued like a typed prompt). A target that is busy is
+**skipped**, not failed: `next_due` stays, `skips` grows, and after
+`max_skips` (12) consecutive skips or `max_failures` (3) consecutive failures the
+schedule is disabled and `list` says why; any firing that succeeds resets both.
+
+The difference from `register_reminder` is where the clock lives. A reminder is
+in-memory state of a live worker: it holds that worker up (`/exit` asks about it),
+maxes out at 1440 minutes, and survives only the short asked-restart hand-off. A
+schedule is a file: it outlives every worker, wake, crash and archive, has no
+interval limit, and never holds a worker up — a tick wakes one when none is
+running. A schedule turn carries `client_id: "system:schedule:<id>`, so both UIs
+label it `schedule`. Full details, the busy check and the DST caveat:
+[Scheduling](scheduling.md).
