Problem

The schedule summary of a scheduled task ignores Settings → General → Time format. A one-off task always uses the browser's default clock and a daily task always prints 24-hour, so one list mixes clocks. It shows in Settings → Scheduled tasks and in a thread's Automations panel (row and tooltip).

Time format One-off task, main Daily task, main This branch
24-hour Once, Nov 20, 2026, 5:30 PM Weekdays at 17:30 17:30 in both
12-hour Once, Nov 20, 2026, 5:30 PM Weekdays at 17:30 5:30 PM in both

Change

scheduleLabel (scheduledTasksSettings.logic.ts) now takes the Time format setting, and both callers pass it from useClientSettings, as the sidebar does.

  • One-off: a new formatDateTimeTimestamp in timestampFormat.ts replaces the module-level Intl.DateTimeFormat(undefined, …). It keeps the same dateStyle: "medium", timeStyle: "short" shape and adds the setting's hour12. It is the same helper fix(web): clock times in settings and toasts follow the Time format setting #31916 adds, line for line, so whichever lands second rebases trivially.
  • Daily: a new formatTimeOfDay formats the stored HH:MM through the existing cached time formatter, in UTC so the host zone cannot move a wall-clock time. The server zone suffix (Czechia Time) stays as it was.

Both use timestampLocale, like every other time in the app, so on desktop they follow the OS locale and hour cycle. One visible consequence of "System default": in an en-US browser a daily task now reads Weekdays at 5:30 PM instead of 17:30, which matches what that setting shows everywhere else.

No contract, server or mobile change: the label is web-only, and mobile has no Time format setting.

Scope and approval

Fixes #37313. A small fix for an obvious bug: the same defect #4438 (snooze menu), #15575 (usage labels) and #35396 (PR comment tooltips) fixed on other surfaces. The issue lists the remaining surfaces with this defect.

Related pull requests

This PR sits next to the open ones and takes one item off their lists. git merge-tree of this branch with each of #34957, #28021 and #31916 at their current heads is clean.

PR What it fixes How this PR relates
#34957 (Fixes #19930) Native time pickers: custom snooze, snooze presets, scheduled task Run at Different behavior; both touch ScheduledTasksSettings.tsx, in different components (its field, this PR's task row). Its "Not in this change" names the scheduleLabel summary: this PR covers that item, so #34957 does not need to grow. Its other listed gap, the one-off Run on datetime-local field, is still open here too.
#28021 (Fixes #27233) The same Run at and snooze preset pickers Same as #34957: shares only ScheduledTasksSettings.tsx, in a different component.
#31916 Clock times in settings, toasts and access tooltips Adds the same formatDateTimeTimestamp, line for line, at the same spot, so git merges the two as one. Its "Left out" note expects #23111 or #28021 to fix scheduleLabel, but #23111 only added the zone suffix and #28021 does not touch the label, so this PR is that fix.
#35396 (merged) PR comment tooltips Same defect on another surface; nothing to coordinate.

Verification

Unit test in the module's existing test file, scheduledTasksSettings.logic.test.ts: a daily and a one-off schedule under 12-hour and 24-hour, plus a single-digit midnight hour (0:05, which must not read 24:05). Expected clocks come from Intl in the host locale with an explicit hour12, so the test passes in any locale and zone; checked under LC_ALL en_US, sk_SK, de_DE, es_ES, fr_FR, ja_JP, ko_KR, zh_CN and ar_EG (27/27 each). Run against main's scheduleLabel:

AssertionError: expected 'Daily at 17:30' to be 'Daily at 5:30 PM' // Object.is equality

Not checked: the packaged desktop app and locales other than en-US. Desktop renders the same web code with timestampLocale from the host, which the rest of the app already relies on.

Walkthrough

Scheduled task labels now use the client’s timestamp format for one-time and fixed-time schedules in settings and thread automation views.

Changes: Scheduled task labels

Layer / File(s) Summary
Format schedule times
apps/web/src/timestampFormat.ts, apps/web/src/components/settings/scheduledTasksSettings.logic.ts, apps/web/src/components/settings/scheduledTasksSettings.logic.test.ts
New helpers format date-time timestamps and wall-clock values using the selected timestamp format. scheduleLabel uses these helpers for one-time and fixed-time schedules. Tests cover 12-hour and 24-hour labels, midnight, and time-zone suffix behavior.
Pass client format to schedule labels
apps/web/src/components/settings/ScheduledTasksSettings.tsx, apps/web/src/components/chat/ThreadAutomationsPanel.tsx
The settings and thread automation views read the client timestamp format and pass it, with the time zone, to schedule-label formatting. The thread view passes it for both the task row and tooltip.

Explanation

The title "fix(web): scheduled task times follow the Time format setting" matches the main change. The PR makes scheduled-task summary labels (one-off and daily) honor the Time format setting in Settings → Scheduled tasks and the thread Automations panel. It uses a conventional commit prefix and plain language, and it is specific enough for a teammate scanning history.

Full details: Linked Issues check

Explanation

[#37313] requires scheduled-task summary labels to follow Settings → General → Time format (17:30 for 24-hour, 5:30 PM for 12-hour) for one-off and daily/weekday schedules, in Settings → Scheduled tasks and the thread Automations panel (row and tooltip).

Whole-PR diff against merge base, at head 7dce76e:

  • scheduledTasksSettings.logic.ts: scheduleLabel now takes timestampFormat. The once branch calls formatDateTimeTimestamp. The fixed_time branch calls formatTimeOfDay. The module-level Intl.DateTimeFormat(undefined, …) is removed.
  • timestampFormat.ts: formatDateTimeTimestamp applies hour12 from the setting (omitted for "locale"). formatTimeOfDay formats the stored H:MM or HH:MM in UTC through getTimestampFormatter, so the host zone cannot shift the time.
  • ThreadAutomationsPanel.tsx: reads timestampFormat via useClientSettings and passes it to taskScheduleLine for both the row and the tooltip.
  • ScheduledTasksSettings.tsx: per the earlier review and the raw summary, ScheduledTaskRow passes the setting. This was not re-read in this pass.

The unit test file adds 12-hour, 24-hour, and 0:05 cases. The PR reports 27/27 passing on this branch and a failure on main. I did not rerun tests.

Excluded by the issue: time pickers, the one-off Run on field, and mobile. The implementation does not touch them.

Limitation: the incremental diffs from the previous reviewed heads were not read. Changes in those ranges are covered only by the whole-PR diff of the inspected files.

Full details: Out of Scope Changes check

Explanation

Whole-PR diff against merge base shows changes tied to the schedule summary label:

  • scheduledTasksSettings.logic.ts: scheduleLabel signature and the once and fixed_time branches.
  • timestampFormat.ts: two new helpers used only by the label.
  • ThreadAutomationsPanel.tsx and ScheduledTasksSettings.tsx: callers that pass the setting.
  • scheduledTasksSettings.logic.test.ts: label tests.

No unrelated edits appear in the inspected files. Webhook and interval labels are unchanged. The PR makes no contract, server, or mobile change.

Limitation: the file list at head is truncated, and incremental changes since earlier reviewed heads were not read. Changes outside the inspected files are unknown, but the reported summary lists no other files.

Full details: Description check

Explanation

The description is thorough and follows the template. It has a clear Problem section with a before/after table, a Change section explaining the scheduleLabel signature change and the two new helpers, and a Scope section that links issue #37313 and explains why no issue is needed beyond that link. The Verification section gives a focused unit test with its failing-then-passing output, a real-client check in en-US Chromium with recorded text and screenshots, and lists what was not checked (packaged desktop app and non-en-US locales). The template's title guidance is not applicable here since this is a description check. It opens with the Read CONTRIBUTING.md comment block, which the template expects authors to follow; the description does not state that CONTRIBUTING.md was read, but this is a minor point. It also names the model and harness at the end, as the template requests.

The schedule summary in Settings → Scheduled tasks and in a thread's
Automations panel formatted its times without the Time format setting:
a one-off run used the browser's default clock ("Once, Nov 20, 2026,
5:30 PM" with 24-hour selected), and a daily run printed the stored
HH:MM as is ("Daily at 17:30" with 12-hour selected).

scheduleLabel now takes the setting. The one-off time goes through a
new formatDateTimeTimestamp and the daily time through formatTimeOfDay,
both in timestampFormat.ts beside the formatters the rest of the app
uses, so they follow the same locale and hour cycle.

Check the expected midnight hour independently.

If the runtime resolves hour12: false to the h24 cycle, both the formatter and clock produce 24:05, so this assertion passes for an invalid time-of-day label. ECMAScript permits that cycle. (tc39.es)

Add an assertion for the expected midnight hour, and use the h23 cycle for 24-hour labels.

Added an independent check in 7dce76e: the midnight label must not contain 24, so an h24 runtime can no longer pass it through the helper. I left hour12 in the formatter as is: formatTimeOfDay goes through the shared getTimestampFormatter that every chat and snooze time already uses, and switching that to hourCycle would change all of them (and the zero padding some locales pick for hour12), which is outside this fix. Chromium, Electron and Node resolve hour12: false to h23 (en-US gives 00:05).

@Gooder24 Thanks. I agree that changing the shared formatter would affect other time displays.

The new assertion catches ASCII 24, but not localized digits. In a standalone Node probe, an explicit h24 formatter for ar-EG produced ٢٤:٠٥, which does not contain ASCII 24. I have not verified that a supported runtime produces this output with hour12: false.

The assertion therefore does not cover every locale. I’m not marking the finding as addressed.
