Problem

In Settings → Scheduled tasks, the task's Model picker only lets you choose a model. The chat composer's picker also has reasoning effort, speed (Codex's priority tier, shown as Fast) and other provider options, but a scheduled task can't set any of them. The server already saves a task's full model selection, options included, and runs launch with it. Only the editor was missing the controls.

To reproduce on main: open Settings → Scheduled tasks → New task → Model. You can pick GPT-6.1 Terra but not Low or Fast.

Change

The task picker now uses the composer's effort column and speed footer, and its trigger shows the effort and Fast the way chat does. The draft keeps the whole model selection instead of an instanceId:model string, so options survive editing.

 <ScheduledTaskEditor>
   <ProviderModelPicker
+    effortColumn={<ComposerEffortColumn traits />}
+    footer={<ComposerPickerFooter traits />}
+    triggerSuffix={effort}
   />
-  draft.modelKey + draft.baseModelSelection
+  draft.modelSelection   // options included

ComposerPickerFooter's permissions menu is now optional, since a task keeps its own runtime mode. With no speed control and no permissions to show, the footer renders nothing. Chat still passes permissions and looks the same.

Scope and approval

This is a small fix for an obvious bug, so there's no prior issue. The scheduled task model picker should offer the same choices as the chat picker, such as Fast. It reuses the composer's existing components and changes no contracts and no server code.

Verification

Tests:

  • ScheduledTasksSettings.browser.test.tsx, three new cases:

    • pick Low and Fast, then save: the task's modelSelection.options is [reasoningEffort: low, serviceTier: priority];
    • reopen a task saved with those options: Low and Fast are checked;
    • save a task whose model has a Fast toggle (Claude, Cursor) without touching it: the task stores fastMode: false, the Standard the picker shows, as chat sends. This came from CodeRabbit.

    All three fail on main and pass with this change.

  • ScheduledTaskService.test.ts, new case: a task saved with GPT-6.1 Terra, low and priority reads back unchanged, and a run launches with exactly that selection.

  • vp run check:changed passes. The existing picker, effort and permissions browser tests still pass.

Manual check in a dev build: I picked GPT-6.1 Terra, Low and Fast, saved, and reopened the task. The selection came back, and the saved row is {"instanceId":"codex","model":"gpt-6.1-terra","options":[{"id":"reasoningEffort","value":"low"},{"id":"serviceTier","value":"priority"}]}. Escape closes only the picker, not the task dialog.

Before After
Before: the trigger shows only the model, 6 Astra After: the trigger shows 6.1 Terra Low with the Fast bolt
Before: the picker lists models only After: the picker has the Reasoning column and Standard/Fast

Reopened task keeps GPT-6.1 Terra, Low and Fast:

Edit task: the picker reopens with Terra, Low and Fast selected

Recording of the flow (pick, Escape, save, reopen):

after-flow.mp4

A real run on the priority tier: I saved a task with GPT-6.1 Terra, Low and Fast, then used Run now. The provider log shows T3 sending it and Codex confirming it:

09:37:17.519 → codex turn/start               {"model":"gpt-6.1-terra","effort":"low","serviceTier":"priority"}
09:37:17.536 ← codex thread/settings/updated  {"model":"gpt-6.1-terra","effort":"low","serviceTier":"priority"}
09:37:22.574 ← codex agentMessage             "ok"
09:37:22.613 ← codex turn/completed           completed

Narrow widths: at 700px the popup fits beside the dialog. At phone width (375px) it stacks into one column and shifts to fit the screen, with Fast in reach.

700px wide: the two-column popup fits 375px wide: the popup stacks and Fast stays on screen

Other surfaces already keep these options. Mobile's task editor uses mobile chat's ThreadSettingsPickerScreen, which already sets them. MCP schedule_task updates keep the stored modelSelection, and tasks it creates copy the calling thread's selection, options included.

Behaviour change: like the composer, the task picker now stays open after you pick a model and moves focus to the effort levels. Escape or a click outside closes it.

Merge Danger

Door: two-way. It's a web-only UI change with no contract, schema or stored-data changes, so a revert undoes it.
Blast Radius: the scheduled task editor's model picker, plus the composer's picker footer, whose permissions props moved into an optional object. Chat behaves the same.

Walkthrough

The scheduled-task editor now stores structured model selections with their options. It provides reasoning-effort and speed controls, restores saved choices, and submits selected options. Tests check saving, restoring, and preserving selections through task listing and launch.

Changes: Scheduled-task model options

Layer / File(s) Summary
Optional picker footer controls
apps/web/src/components/chat/ComposerModelEffort.tsx, apps/web/src/components/chat/ComposerControlsBar.tsx
The footer accepts permissions as an optional object. It renders when permissions or supported speed controls are available. The composer passes permissions through that object.
Scheduled-task selection and submission
apps/web/src/components/settings/ScheduledTasksSettings.tsx, apps/web/src/components/settings/scheduledTasksSettings.logic.ts
The draft stores a nullable model selection. The editor displays effort and speed controls, preserves options when the same model remains selected, and submits selected options.
Selection persistence tests
apps/web/src/components/settings/ScheduledTasksSettings.browser.test.tsx, apps/server/src/scheduledTasks/ScheduledTaskService.test.ts
Browser tests check saving and restoring options, including default fastMode: false. A service test checks that task listing and launch preserve the complete selection.

- Around line 1291-1295: Update the ScheduledTasksSettings flow that builds
modelSelection with createModelSelection so changing an option preserves
existing option values for the same model, including options absent from the
current descriptors. Merge the changed descriptor values into activeSelection’s
existing selection; clear options only when the selected model changes.
- Around line 1276-1282: Update submit to persist the model selection
represented by the picker after applying withImplicitFastModeDefault, rather
than the unmodified activeSelection. Ensure Cursor’s implicit Standard choice is
saved so the provider does not apply Fast, while preserving the existing
selection when no implicit adjustment applies.

Minor · Functional Correctness · Quick win

Disable model options for thread-bound tasks.

A task bound to a thread ignores its saved model selection. The server sends the prompt to the thread without modelSelection and uses the thread's current model, effort, and speed settings. The editor still lets users change effort and speed for these tasks, and those choices have no effect. The model picker already behaves this way for bound tasks, so this change extends an existing gap to the new controls.

Disable the model picker when the task is bound to a thread, and direct users to the thread's model settings:

@coderabbitai Declining the outside-diff finding about disabling model options for thread-bound tasks. It predates this PR: the model picker was already enabled for bound tasks on main, as your comment notes. The editor's destination text already says a bound run "continues this conversation, in its workspace and with its current model" (ScheduledTasksSettings.tsx). Disabling or hiding the picker for bound tasks is a separate behaviour change, so it belongs in its own PR rather than this one, which only makes the picker match chat.

Tip

For best results, initiate chat on the files or code changes.

Analysis chain

Script executed:

#!/bin/bash

Length of output: 5234


@Mezzle Agreed. The destination text confirms that thread-bound runs use the conversation’s current model. Disabling or hiding the picker is a separate behavior change, not a requirement for this PR. I withdraw that finding from this review.

Would you like me to open a follow-up issue for the thread-bound picker behavior?

+1. I hit the same gap: I can pick a model for a scheduled task, but not its reasoning effort, so runs use the model's default. Matching the composer's effort and Fast controls here would cover what I need.

The scheduled task editor's model picker only chose a model, so Codex's
priority tier, reasoning effort and other provider options could not be set
for a task, though a run already uses whatever options the task stores.

The editor now docks the composer's own effort column and speed footer into
the picker, shows the effort and Fast in the trigger, and keeps the full model
selection, options included, in the draft. The footer's permissions menu is
now optional, since tasks keep their own runtime mode.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
A model with a Fast toggle (Claude, Cursor) shows Standard through the
composer's implicit `fastMode: false`, but the task saved without it, so a
provider that defaults to Fast could run the task on Fast.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
The footer passed a provider to the two-argument splitSpeed, and the
editor read a planModeEnabled setting that does not exist. The editor
now shows the plan agent when the saved selection uses it, as the other
settings pickers do.

Declining the outside-diff finding "Disable model options for thread-bound tasks" for this PR. The claim is accurate: a bound run calls sendBound in ScheduledTaskService.ts without the stored selection. But the model picker itself already stays enabled for bound tasks on main, so disabling only effort and Fast would be inconsistent. How the whole Model field behaves for bound tasks is a separate change.

Closing this in favour of #30253, which adds the same controls and already has a triaged issue and maintainer verification.

I ran #30253 locally to check the two cases this PR tested. Codex Fast works there. I picked Fast, saved, and the task stored serviceTier: priority.

One difference is left. For a model with a Fast toggle (Claude, Cursor), the picker shows Fast off, but an untouched task saves no fastMode option. Chat adds fastMode: false in that case through withImplicitFastModeDefault, because Cursor ACP can default Fast to on. So a scheduled task on Cursor could run Fast while the editor shows it off. main behaves the same way today, so #30253 does not cause it, and I could not test it on Cursor. I can send it as a small follow-up once #30253 lands.
