Problem

Scheduled tasks already support provider options, but the web/desktop editor could not set reasoning effort. It also dropped the default model's options when the model was explicitly picked.

Change

Reuse the existing traits picker alongside the task model picker and keep the full model selection in the draft. New tasks retain the configured default options; existing tasks can inspect and change them. Picking a different model clears stale options, while reselecting the same model preserves them. Mobile already exposes these controls and saves the full selection.

Scope and approval

Fixes #30233. This is a focused configuration option for an established scheduling capability under CONTRIBUTING.md; it does not add a workflow or change provider defaults.

Verification

The regression failed before the fix because the effort control was absent. Browser tests now cover default and saved options, effort edits, reselecting the current model, and clearing options when switching models. vp run check:changed passes, including 29 focused tests, affected-package typechecks, lint, formatting, knip, and React Compiler checks. In the real web client against isolated worktree state, saved a paused Codex task at High, confirmed reasoningEffort: high in its stored selection, and reopened it at High. No provider turn was started. Native mobile and the Electron shell were not exercised; their implementations are unchanged.

Approvability

Verdict: Approved at 540b7fb

Macroscope's review found this PR approvable — Scheduled tasks gain a reasoning-effort picker that saves options with the task’s model selection. Changes remain explicit and task-specific, with existing defaults and save safeguards unchanged.

Walkthrough

The scheduled-task editor now stores a structured model selection and provides model-trait controls. It submits the selected model options when saving tasks. Browser tests cover creating and editing tasks, changing reasoning effort, and switching to a model without options.

Changes: Scheduled task model traits

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Structured model-selection draft apps/web/src/components/settings/ScheduledTasksSettings.tsx, apps/web/src/components/settings/scheduledTasksSettings.logic.ts	Draft state and task conversion now use ModelSelection directly instead of a model key and separate base selection.
Model traits editing and saving apps/web/src/components/settings/ScheduledTasksSettings.tsx, apps/web/src/components/settings/ScheduledTasksSettings.browser.test.tsx	The editor shows TraitsPicker for the active provider model and updates the structured selection when options change. It submits that selection and clears it when the environment changes. Browser tests cover create and edit flows, including changing reasoning effort and selecting a model without options.

Verified in a real dev environment

verified head 8afb8d75eb18e8016819943ee9111f7eaa8229a5 as-is on a disposable linux vm, using the real web client in system chrome through playwright. no code changes were needed.

• reproduced on github/main at 12ec17ce4c: the scheduled-task editor has no reasoning-effort control.
• installed both checkouts with vp i and ran one background dev server at a time, stopping main before starting the pr. created a real git project through the app, with no fixtures or replay provider.
• created a paused task using codex gpt-6.1-sol, selected high effort, saved, and reopened it at high. changed high to low and back, saved and reopened both. reselecting the same model retained effort; switching to gpt-6-luna removed saved options, confirmed through a read-only database query.
• restored sol/high and exercised both “run now” and a one-time scheduled run at 17:59 utc. both produced new threads and the real response “scheduled effort verified.” in the client. native codex rollout records independently confirm the model, high effort, and project directory.
• blacksmith ran vp test run apps/web/src/components/settings/ScheduledTasksSettings.browser.test.tsx apps/web/src/components/settings/scheduledTasksSettings.logic.test.ts: 2 files, 29 tests passed. all 29 existing pr checks were green.

Not verified

native ios/android clients, the electron shell, macos/windows, other providers, and relay/tunnel connections were not exercised. the real runtime check used codex sol/high; default-option initialization is covered by the focused browser tests. uploaded video playback and seeking were checked in chrome; the same recording is embedded above as an animated gif for github.
