* fix(cron): prevent timer from allowing process exit (fixes#9694)
The cron timer was using .unref(), which caused the Node.js event
loop to exit or sleep if no other handles were active. This prevented
cron jobs from firing in some environments.
* fix(cron): infer delivery target for isolated jobs (fixes#9683)
When creating isolated agentTurn jobs (e.g. reminders) without explicit
delivery options, the job would default to 'announce' but fail to
resolve the target conversation. Now, we infer the channel and
recipient from the agent's current session key.
* fix(cron): enhance delivery inference for threaded sessions and null inputs (#9733)
Improves the delivery inference logic in the cron tool to correctly handle threaded session keys and cases where delivery is explicitly set to null. This ensures that the appropriate delivery mode and target are inferred based on the agent's session key, enhancing the reliability of job execution.
* fix: preserve telegram topic delivery inference (#9733) (thanks @tyler6204)
* fix: simplify cron delivery merge spread (#9733) (thanks @tyler6204)
- Updated isolated cron jobs to support new delivery modes: `announce` and `none`, improving output management.
- Refactored job configuration to remove legacy fields and streamline delivery settings.
- Enhanced the `CronJobEditor` UI to reflect changes in delivery options, including a new segmented control for delivery mode selection.
- Updated documentation to clarify the new delivery configurations and their implications for job execution.
- Improved tests to validate the new delivery behavior and ensure backward compatibility with legacy settings.
This update provides users with greater flexibility in managing how isolated jobs deliver their outputs, enhancing overall usability and clarity in job configurations.
- Default one-shot jobs to delete after success, improving job management.
- Introduced `--keep-after-run` CLI option to allow users to retain one-shot jobs post-execution.
- Updated documentation to clarify default behaviors and new options for one-shot jobs.
- Adjusted cron job creation logic to ensure consistent handling of delete options.
- Enhanced tests to validate new behaviors and ensure reliability.
This update streamlines the handling of one-shot jobs, providing users with more control over job persistence and execution outcomes.
- Updated isolated cron jobs to default to `announce` delivery mode, improving user experience.
- Enhanced scheduling options to accept ISO 8601 timestamps for `schedule.at`, while still supporting epoch milliseconds.
- Refined documentation to clarify delivery modes and scheduling formats.
- Adjusted related CLI commands and UI components to reflect these changes, ensuring consistency across the platform.
- Improved handling of legacy delivery fields for backward compatibility.
This update streamlines the configuration of isolated jobs, making it easier for users to manage job outputs and schedules.
- Added support for new delivery modes in cron jobs: `announce`, `deliver`, and `none`.
- Updated documentation to reflect changes in delivery options and usage examples.
- Enhanced the cron job schema to include delivery configuration.
- Refactored related CLI commands and UI components to accommodate the new delivery settings.
- Improved handling of legacy delivery fields for backward compatibility.
This update allows users to choose how output from isolated jobs is delivered, enhancing flexibility in job management.
Fixes#7667
Task 1: Fix cron operation timeouts
- Increase default gateway tool timeout from 10s to 30s
- Increase cron-specific tool timeout to 60s
- Increase CLI default timeout from 10s to 30s
- Prevents timeouts when gateway is busy with long-running jobs
Task 2: Add timestamp validation
- New validateScheduleTimestamp() function in validate-timestamp.ts
- Rejects atMs timestamps more than 1 minute in the past
- Rejects atMs timestamps more than 10 years in the future
- Applied to both cron.add and cron.update operations
- Provides helpful error messages with current time and offset
Task 3: Enable file sync for manual edits
- Track file modification time (storeFileMtimeMs) in CronServiceState
- Check file mtime in ensureLoaded() and reload if changed
- Recompute next runs after reload to maintain accuracy
- Update mtime after persist() to prevent reload loop
- Dashboard now picks up manual edits to ~/.openclaw/cron/jobs.json
Fixes parameter mismatch between AI tool schema and internal validation.
The TypeBox schema now uses `jobId` for update/remove/run/runs actions,
matching what users expect based on the returned job objects.
Changes:
- Changed parameter from `id` to `jobId` in TypeBox schema for update/remove/run/runs
- Updated execute function to read `jobId` parameter
- Updated tests to use `jobId` in input parameters
The gateway protocol still uses `id` internally - the tool now maps
`jobId` from the AI to `id` for the gateway call.
Fixes#185
Co-Authored-By: Claude <noreply@anthropic.com>
The cron tool was passing { jobId } to the gateway for update/remove/run/runs
actions, but the gateway protocol schema expects { id }. This caused validation
errors when trying to update or remove cron jobs via the tool.
Fixes the parameter name while keeping the external tool API unchanged (still
accepts 'jobId' from callers).
