fix(docs): document recurring orchestration tasks

[ashx-j]

The orchestrator MCP documentation claimed eleven tools and omitted the four existing recurring-task tools. It also presented t3_thread_launch without identifying its project-toolkit ownership.

Replaces the stale count with a link to the authoritative toolkit, adds concise recurring-task guidance, identifies the project toolkit, and updates the purpose and verification lists. No runtime behavior changes.

Fixes #15670.

Validation: compared the documentation with all fifteen OrchestratorToolkit registrations, scheduling handlers, endpoint registration, and existing scheduling integration-test assertions. Both source links resolve and git diff --check passes. Runtime tests were unnecessary for this documentation-only patch. A separate GPT-6-Astra reviewer at medium reasoning approved the patch with no findings.

Implemented by GPT-6.1-Sol at xhigh reasoning through the Codex harness.

replaces #15680, whose original source fork was deleted. refreshed against current main on october 11. source links still resolve, and scheduling defaults now distinguish same-project thread callers, other projects, and calls without a thread. checked the toolkit and service implementations; git diff --check passes. no runtime behavior changed.

Approvability

Verdict: Approved at a02076f

Macroscope's review found this PR approvable — This is a focused documentation-only update that records existing recurring-task behavior, corrects toolkit references, and refreshes coverage notes. It changes no runtime code, product defaults, schemas, deployment settings, or static-analysis configuration.

Walkthrough

The Orchestrator MCP documentation now describes recurring scheduled-task tools, their project and thread behavior, and their integration-test coverage. It also updates the endpoint and tool-surface descriptions.

Changes

Orchestrator MCP documentation

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Document scheduled-task tools and endpoint docs/orchestration-v2/orchestrator-mcp-server.md	The page describes recurring-task creation, listing, updating, pausing, and deletion. It replaces the fixed tool count with a reference to OrchestratorToolkit, identifies t3_thread_launch as a ProjectToolkit tool on the shared endpoint, and adds scheduled-task integration-test coverage.

Before / after behavior

• observed — Modified behavior in docs/orchestration-v2/orchestrator-mcp-server.md: The documented orchestration operations now include recurring scheduled-task management, and the prior list no longer groups cancellation or ordinary-thread creation with the following item using “and.”
• observed — Modified behavior in docs/orchestration-v2/orchestrator-mcp-server.md: The endpoint registration description now includes project and other app toolkits alongside preview and orchestration.
• observed — Modified behavior in docs/orchestration-v2/orchestrator-mcp-server.md: The fixed statement that the server exposes eleven orchestration tools is replaced with a link to OrchestratorToolkit for the current registered tools and contracts.
• observed — Modified behavior in docs/orchestration-v2/orchestrator-mcp-server.md: Adds documentation for recurring-task tools: schedule_task creates persistent work that can run without an active provider turn, posts runs to the calling thread by default or creates a fresh top-level thread when bindToCurrentThread is false, and inherits provider, model, and runtime settings. list_scheduled_tasks lists tasks in the calling thread’s project; returned IDs can be used to update, pause or resume via enabled, or delete tasks.

Narrow the coverage claim to scheduled-task listing.

The test creates only one scheduled task in the parent thread's project. It does not add a task from another project, so no assertion exercises cross-project exclusion. The phrase “project-scoped listing” overstates the tested coverage. Narrow it to “scheduled-task listing.”
