feat(quick): alarms, "what's next on my calendar" and desktop reminders on your phone - #383
Conversation
…rs on your phone Alarms are a quick command with a ringing banner and chime in the window; "what's next on my calendar" reads the connected Google Calendar with no model call and otherwise goes to the model; channels.deliver_reminders sends reminders and alarms set on the desktop to the delivery chats too. Closes #359.

- Around line 776-796: Update the `calendar_next` selection logic so a timed
upcoming event today is chosen before an all-day event today, while preserving
the existing ordering for other events. Also include an all-day event that began
on an earlier date and is still in progress; do not drop it solely because its
start date is before today.
Review comments at @sentient/channels/service.py:
- Around line 380-382: Update the fallback selection in _reminder_delivery so
reminders and alarms use the default route only when session_id is absent and
deliver_reminders is enabled; keep unresolved session IDs on the desktop route
when chat_for_session finds no match or raises.
Review comments at @tests/channels/test_quick_commands.py:
- Around line 65-66: In the test, wait until both delivery records have been
inserted before checking their contents; poll the channel_deliveries query with
a bounded wait, then assert that exactly two rows were retrieved. Keep the
existing reason and what value assertions after the count check.

🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win
Honor the “today” qualifier in calendar requests.
These patterns accept “today”, but Command("calendar_next") does not carry that limit. The supplied planner requests the tool’s default seven-day range. If today has no upcoming event and tomorrow does, the quick answer can report tomorrow’s event to a user who asked about today. Restrict the range for these matches, or leave qualified requests to the model.

🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win
Keep “next meeting” requests out of the unfiltered quick answer.
When the next calendar event is not a meeting, this pattern still selects calendar_next. The supplied planner calls gcal_list_events without its query argument, so the quick answer can name that unrelated event instead of the next meeting. Filter by the requested event type, or let the model handle type-specific requests that the quick path cannot distinguish.

An alarm is the one place a time without AM/PM is fine, as on a phone: the next 6:30; for "wake me" the next one

says which ("Alarm set for 7:00 AM tomorrow."). Repeating wishes, day names, "today" at a passed time and "tomorrow
morning" still go to the model. "what alarms do I have", "when is my alarm", "turn off the gym alarm" and
"cancel all alarms" work through the existing list/cancel commands. With no Sentient alarm set, "turn off the
alarm" goes to the model, since with Home Assistant (Home Assistant as a first-class integration #175, rebased on it) it may mean the house alarm, which never
goes through a quick command.

Reminders on your phone

chat. Activity timeline: "Your reminders and alarms go to this chat too" (
reason: "reminder_copy").chat.quick_commandsnow mentions alarms and thecalendar.

cancelled, nothing), an alarm set and fired with no model call, cancel by name, the calendar read with no model, no
calendar connected goes to the model, a Never rule goes to the model, the calendar works without the reminders
service, "turn off the alarm" with none set goes to the model.
