fix(mcp): agents can switch a scheduled task to fresh sessions - #31696
An agent can't turn fresh sessions on or off for an existing scheduled task. schedule_task with scheduledTaskId and freshSession: true reports success, but the task keeps its old thread mode.
The update handler in apps/server/src/mcp/toolkits/orchestrator/handlers.ts never passes freshSession to OrchestratorMcpService.updateScheduledTask, even though OrchestratorMcpUpdateScheduledTaskInput declares it (#30326). So every freshSession branch in the service is unreachable over MCP. The service's own error makes it worse: it tells the agent to unbind first and then "set freshSession: true in a second call", and that second call does nothing.
Change
Forward freshSession from the handler to updateScheduledTask, alongside the other fields.
A small fix for an obvious bug: a declared input field was dropped at the MCP boundary. No behaviour changes beyond making the existing, documented freshSession option reach the service.
Verification
Before: I added a call to the existing case "a caller cannot rewrite a scheduled task that runs above its own modes" in apps/server/src/mcp/toolkits/core.test.ts. It calls schedule_task through the in-process MCP server with { scheduledTaskId: "task-auto", freshSession: true } on an unbound task and checks the captured ScheduledTaskService.upsert input. On main it fails with threadMode: "new_thread" where "fresh_session" was expected.
After:vp test run src/mcp/toolkits/core.test.ts passes (20/20). vp run check:changed passes (format, lint, knip, typecheck, tests).
Not verified: I did not run a live agent against a dev server to schedule and update a task. The test drives the real MCP tool handler and service with only the task store mocked.
Merge Danger
Door: two-way. A one-line forward of a field that is already in the published tool schema. Blast Radius: agents updating scheduled tasks over MCP. Callers that omit freshSession get the same result as before.

Macroscope's review found this PR approvable — Agents can now explicitly change an existing scheduled task’s fresh-session setting. Existing access checks and binding safeguards remain unchanged, and tasks retain their current mode when the option is omitted.

Walkthrough
The schedule_task update handler now forwards freshSession to the scheduled-task service. A test verifies that setting it to true produces an upsert input with threadMode: "fresh_session".
Changes: Scheduled-task updates

Summary
Forward freshSession to scheduled-task updates apps/server/src/mcp/toolkits/orchestrator/handlers.ts, apps/server/src/mcp/toolkits/core.test.ts
The handler includes freshSession in the update payload. The test records the upsert input and checks that setting freshSession: true produces threadMode: "fresh_session".

Extend this test with a fresh-session task, call schedule_task with freshSession: false, and assert the resulting mode is continue. The service-level false test bypasses the handler, so it cannot catch a handler that drops only false.

Extend the MCP handler test around `schedule_task` to cover switching fresh
sessions off: schedule a fresh-session task, call the handler with
`freshSession: false`, and assert the upserted task has `threadMode:
"continue"`. Keep the existing true-case assertion so the test verifies both
handler paths.

@coderabbitai I'm leaving out the freshSession: false case. The handler passes freshSession to updateScheduledTask as is (handlers.ts:115), with no branch on its value. A bug that drops only false would need code written to do that. The service tests already cover how false maps to a thread mode. The new MCP case covers the bug this PR fixes: the field never reached the service.

@Mezzle That is reasonable. The handler forwards freshSession unchanged, and the service test covers the transition from fresh_session when the value is false. The new MCP test covers the reported field-forwarding bug, so I won’t request another case for this fix.

## Hit every surface
The most common defect in this repo is a change that works on the path you tested and is missing everywhere else. Before calling frontend work done, walk this list and say which entries applied:
- **Agents.** A capability a user can trigger is usually one an agent should reach through MCP tools, and scheduled tasks run the same paths. That only works when it is a service method, not handler code.
The schedule_task update handler dropped freshSession before calling
updateScheduledTask, so agents could not turn fresh sessions on or off
for an existing task.

verified as-is at 1036a24360d695e7a0d9929a47c79d3028ad15b4 on linux, using the dev web app, playwright from the repo, google chrome, and real codex gpt-6.1-sol turns through the local proxy. no mocks, fixtures, or code changes.
reproduced on github/main (d756fed7aa) in a separate worktree after vp i. created the project through the app, then had codex create a paused hourly task and update it through MCP. requesting freshSession:true returned false; the persisted mode stayed new_thread.
stopped main before starting the exact pr head after vp i. carried the isolated dev data forward, preserving the same task, project, and thread. the same update returned true, persisted fresh_session, and appeared as "one thread, fresh session each run" in settings.
real MCP calls confirmed that omitting the option preserves it, false switches it off, and binding preserves the prompt, interval, and paused state.
clicked settings > scheduled tasks > run now twice with fresh sessions enabled. both codex runs returned SCHEDULE_RUN_OK in the same app thread, with different provider sessions and two visible new-session separators.
switched the same bound task to freshSession:false through MCP and clicked run now again. it succeeded and reused the previous provider session. all three executions finished successfully; the task remained paused.
short runtime transcript from the persisted real tool calls and server projections:

blacksmith verification passed: the focused MCP file (20 tests) and vp run check:changed HEAD^ (format, lint, knip, graphql, affected typechecks, 22 tests). the explicit base was needed because the worker initially lacked parent history; fetching the pr at depth 2 resolved that. the pr also has 31 successful CI checks.
