The custom RRULE panel covers most patterns but can't express "every
weekday at 9, 12, and 18" or "every 15 minutes within working hours"
in a single rule. RRULE's BYxxx fields can technically combine, but
the picker UX gets unwieldy fast. Cron expressions cover everything
in one line.
Storage / dispatch
- Cron rules live in the same `reminders.rrule` column with a sentinel
prefix: `CRON:0 9 * * 1-5`. No schema change.
- `@cmbot/shared` now exports:
CRON_PREFIX, isCronRule, stripCronPrefix, validateCronExpression
- `nextOccurrence(rule, tz, after)` and `validateMinInterval(rule, tz)`
detect the prefix and dispatch to `cron-parser`; non-cron rules
continue to flow through rrule unchanged.
- `cron-parser@^5.5.0` added as an explicit dep on @cmbot/shared
(it was already transitively present via pg-boss).
Server actions
- `createReminderAction` / `updateReminderAction`: when rrule has the
CRON: prefix, the user's date+time inputs are ignored — the action
validates the cron, runs the min-interval check (5 min between
fires), and computes scheduledAt as the next match of the cron
expression after now. The bot's existing fire-reminder loop
re-arms via `nextOccurrence` after each fire, which already speaks
cron via the dispatch above.
Picker
- New "Cron expression…" preset at the bottom of the radio list:
"Full sec/min/hour/day/month/dow combinational power"
Selecting it reveals a CronPanel:
* font-mono cron input (5- or 6-field accepted)
* inline examples: 0 9 * * 1-5, */15 * * * *, 0 9,12,18 * * *,
0 0 1 * *
* note that the Date+Time controls above are ignored once a cron
expression is set
- RecurrenceSpec gains an optional `cron` string and a new `kind: "cron"`.
- buildRrule emits `CRON:<expr>` for cron specs.
- specFromRrule round-trips a CRON-prefixed rule back into the spec.
- describeRecurrence renders "Cron: <expr>" so the list view and
review steps show the expression.
Tests (+10; 17 shared + 26 bot + 138 web = 181 total)
- packages/shared rrule.test.ts (+8):
* CRON_PREFIX / isCronRule / stripCronPrefix
* nextOccurrence on a CRON rule returns the right next match in the
operator timezone (e.g. weekday 9 AM KL ↔ exact UTC instant)
* RRULE rules still flow through unchanged
* validateMinInterval on cron: hourly OK, every-minute rejected,
malformed string returns a useful error
* validateCronExpression positive + negative cases
- recurrence.test.ts (+5): cron preset round-trip, label assertions,
`buildRrule`/`specFromRrule` for cron specs.

The old picker was a row of 5 frequency pills (One-off / Daily / Weekly /
Monthly / Yearly) followed by a separate detail panel — common cases
needed several clicks (interval, weekday list, etc.) and the visual
hierarchy didn't show what was selected at a glance.
New design — a vertical radio list with seven first-fire-aware presets
plus a Custom… expander:
○ Don't repeat (one-off)
○ Every day
○ Every weekday (Mon – Fri)
○ Every weekend (Sat – Sun)
○ Every week on Wed (matches start)
○ Every month on day 13 (matches start)
○ Every year on May 13 (matches start)
○ Custom… ▼ expands
Custom… reveals the existing power-user controls (frequency dropdown,
interval input, weekday picker, day-of-month, end-condition) without
crowding the common path. Toggling between presets and custom is
lossless — the spec is the source of truth.
New helpers in `lib/recurrence.ts`:
- `presetToSpec(id, firstFire)` — canonical RecurrenceSpec for each
preset (round-trippable).
- `matchPreset(spec, firstFire)` — reverse mapping; returns "custom"
for anything that doesn't fit a shortcut, so the picker auto-flips
into expanded mode for non-preset specs.
- `presetDescriptors(firstFire)` — list of preset id/label/hint with
first-fire-aware copy ("Every week on Wed", "May 13", etc).
Wired into both:
- reminder-wizard/when-form-client.tsx (creating)
- reminder-edit/edit-when-form.tsx (editing a section in place)
Tests (+4, 134 web + 26 bot = 160 total green):
- recurrence.test.ts gains a "preset shortcuts" suite covering:
* presetToSpec → canonical spec for each id
* round-trip via matchPreset
* matchPreset returns "custom" for non-shortcut specs
(interval > 1, weekly Mon/Wed/Fri, end=after, monthly on a
different day-of-month than the first fire)
* presetDescriptors labels are first-fire-aware

Reminders
- Reminder list / detail show recurrence summary ("Every Mon, Wed, Fri",
"Every 2 weeks until 2027-01-01", etc).
- Detail page reorganised: each section (Account / Message / When /
Groups) is itself a clickable card that deep-links into the wizard
step in edit mode (editReminderId URL param). No standalone Edit
button. Run history stays read-only.
- New /reminders/[id]/edit shell loads the row, encodes its state into
wizard URL params, and forwards to /reminders/new. The wizard
threads editReminderId through every step.
- updateReminderAction: validates ownership of both the existing
reminder and the (possibly changed) target account, replaces targets
+ messages wholesale, re-arms the pg-boss job (singleton key picks
up the new fire time).
- Wizard submit branches to updateReminderAction when editReminderId
is set; button reads "Save changes" / "Saving…".
- Wizard default first-fire is now the current minute in the operator
zone (not now+1h). Same-minute clicks bump silently to next minute
via a 60 s grace window so the user isn't punished.
- /reminders empty state is filter-aware: "No failed reminders yet."
when ?filter=failed and there are reminders in other states.
Recurrence
- Spec is now a structured object: { kind, interval, weeklyDays,
monthDay, end }. Builder produces RRULEs with INTERVAL, BYDAY,
BYMONTHDAY, COUNT, UNTIL as appropriate. specFromRrule round-trips
for resuming/edit.
- When-step UI: frequency pills, "Every N days/weeks/…" interval,
weekday picker (weekly), day-of-month input (monthly), end picker
(Never / After N occurrences / On date), live human-readable
summary preview.
QR pairing
- Throttle QR refresh to once per 25 s and detach the previous
per-account session listener on Re-pair so listeners can't
accumulate. The UI countdown was flicking every ~5 s because each
Re-pair attached an extra listener — every Baileys QR event then
triggered a fresh DB write + NOTIFY.
Tests (60 green total, +33 in this batch)
- recurrence.test.ts: extended to 25 tests covering interval,
monthday, end conditions (COUNT/UNTIL), and round-trip parsing.
- date-picker.test.ts: 14 tests for splitDateTime / combineDateTime /
validateScheduledAt (incl. the "click-too-fast" same-minute grace)
and defaultFirstFireIso.
- /api/qr/[accountId] route.test.ts: 4 tests — 404 when no QR yet,
404 on missing row, 200 with image/png + no-store + correct PNG
bytes, and verifies the where-clause queries by accountId.

Reminders
- Add recurrence to wizard step 3 (None / Daily / Weekly+weekday picker /
Monthly / Yearly). Build the RRULE client-side and thread it through
the wizard URL state.
- Action stores rrule + scheduleKind="recurring" on insert.
- Bot reschedules the next occurrence after firing a recurring reminder
using the existing rrule helpers in @cmbot/shared. One-off behavior
unchanged.
- Add reminders.last_fired_at column to track last fire.
Pairing
- Move QR PNG out of the pg_notify payload (the 8000-byte limit was
silently truncating it; QR never reached the web → "QR hang"). PNG
now lives on whatsapp_accounts.last_qr_png; NOTIFY just signals
{type: session.qr, accountId, ts}. Web fetches the bytes from a new
read-only /api/qr/[accountId] route (allowed via middleware).
- handleStartPairing now stops any in-flight session before starting a
fresh one — fixes Re-pair where session.start was a silent no-op and
Baileys never re-emitted QR.
- Pair-live: countdown moved out from over the QR (it was overlapping
the scan area); shown as a discrete progress bar above the QR.
- Add a "Save QR" download button.
Account detail page
- Pair / Unpair / Delete cards are themselves the trigger (form submit
or DialogTrigger) — no inline buttons, whole card is clickable.
- Sync Groups Now card removed earlier; bot already auto-syncs.
Account list page
- Cards are the link target. A small floating Delete trigger (top-right
trash icon) opens the destructive confirm dialog without blocking
navigation on the rest of the card.
Tests
- recurrence.test.ts: 10 tests for buildRrule / kindFromRrule /
describeRecurrence (incl. weekly day combos and BYDAY ordering).
- reminders.schema.test.ts: regression for the "Invalid datetime" bug —
proves strict Zod .datetime() rejected luxon's offset ISO and the
{ offset: true } option accepts both forms.
Migration: 0004_next_prowler.sql
- whatsapp_accounts.last_qr_png (text)
- reminders.last_fired_at (timestamptz)
