Problem

In Settings → Scheduled tasks, a task bound to a thread runs on that thread's current model. The task's saved model only seeds a new thread: ScheduledTaskService launches with modelSelection when threadId is null, and a bound run sends to the thread with no selection (#18467). The editor's Model field stays editable for a bound task anyway, on web and mobile. You can change it and save, and the next run ignores it.

To reproduce on main: bind a task to a thread, change its model in the editor, save, then Run now. I did this with a thread on the Replay (dev) provider. The task stored {"instanceId":"codex","model":"gpt-6-luna"}, and the run it started used devReplay / showcase, the thread's model.

Change

While the draft is bound to a thread, the Model field is disabled and a note says "Runs use this thread's current model." Choosing "New thread each run", or changing the project or environment, unbinds the draft and enables the field again. The saved selection is untouched, so it still applies if the task is unbound later.

 <ScheduledTaskEditor>
   <ProviderModelPicker
-    disabled={saving || !connected}
+    disabled={saving || !connected || draft.threadId !== ""}
   />
+  {draft.threadId !== "" && "Runs use this thread's current model."}

Mobile gets the same condition on its Model row, with the note as the Context section footer. Both clients are in one PR because it is the same field with the same defect.

Scope and approval

This is a small fix for an obvious bug, so there's no prior issue. A control that saves a value no run uses is a defect, and the fix changes no behaviour, default, contract or server code. CodeRabbit raised it on #30729 as "Disable model options for thread-bound tasks".

Left out on purpose:

Verification

Test:

  • ScheduledTasksSettings.browser.test.tsx, new case "locks the model while the task is bound to a thread". It opens a bound task and expects the model picker disabled and the note visible, then picks "New thread each run" and expects the picker enabled and the note gone. On main it fails with "Received element is not disabled". With the change the file passes, 6 of 6.
  • vp run check:changed passes: format, lint, knip, typecheck, tests, React Compiler.

Web, in the real dev client on Linux against isolated worktree state:

Before After
Before: a bound task with an editable Model field After: the Model field is disabled, with a note under it
Before: the model picker opens on a bound task After: the same lock in fresh-session mode

After switching the draft to "New thread each run", the field is enabled again:

After: an unbound draft with the Model field enabled

Mobile, iPhone 18 Pro simulator on iOS 27.0, against an isolated backend. Tapping Model on the bound task did nothing. After switching to "New thread each run" it opened the model picker.

Before After, bound After, unbound
Mobile before: the Model row is enabled on a bound task Mobile after: the Model row is dimmed, with a footer under Context Mobile after: the Model row is enabled again once unbound

Not checked: Android, and the Electron shell, which wraps the web client. The mobile screenshots were taken at fa2f4ff2a2 plus this edit. The mobile settings code is identical between that commit and this PR's base.

… their runs ignore

A scheduled task bound to a thread runs on that thread's current model.
The saved selection only seeds new threads, but the editor's Model field
stayed editable, so a change saved and then did nothing. The field is now
disabled while the draft is bound, with a note saying runs use the
thread's model. Unbinding enables it again.

Approvability

Verdict: Approved at 8aca1d8

Macroscope's review found this PR approvable — Web and mobile scheduled-task forms now disable model selection for thread-bound tasks and explain that runs use the thread’s current model. This is a limited UI change with no change to execution behavior or product defaults.

Walkthrough

Mobile and web scheduled-task settings now disable model selection when a task is bound to a thread and state that runs use the thread’s current model. A web test checks this behavior and the change when the destination is set to “New thread each run.”

Changes: Thread-bound model behavior

Layer / File(s) Summary
Thread-bound model picker behavior
apps/mobile/src/features/settings/SettingsScheduledTasksRouteScreen.tsx, apps/web/src/components/settings/ScheduledTasksSettings.tsx, apps/web/src/components/settings/ScheduledTasksSettings.browser.test.tsx
When a thread is selected, both settings screens disable the model picker and show a note about the thread’s current model. The web test checks that selecting “New thread each run” enables the picker and removes the note.

Web edits can replace an unavailable saved model with a default while the picker is locked. The displayed model can also be mistaken for the bound run’s model. Impact is limited to affected tasks.

Check the saved model after unbinding

The test can pass if unbinding clears the draft model. Configure an available saved model distinct from the default, then assert that the save input retains that model after unbinding. This catches a regression that changes the model used for new-thread runs.

- Line 863: Update the Model row in the scheduled task settings screen so it
clearly identifies the displayed selection as the model for new threads, or show
the bound thread’s current model separately. Preserve the existing behavior for
runs bound to a thread and ensure the UI does not present the saved task
selection as that thread’s model.

Review comments at @apps/web/src/components/settings/ScheduledTasksSettings.tsx:
- Around line 1802-1804: Update the model picker and its helper text in the
ScheduledTasksSettings component to distinguish the task’s stored model from the
model used by a bound run: label the stored value as the saved model for new
threads, or display the bound thread’s current model separately. Preserve the
existing behavior that runs bound to a thread use that thread’s current model.
- Line 1789: Update the save handling in ScheduledTasksSettings so a bound task
retains its saved model when the user has not explicitly changed the selection,
even if its provider is disabled or missing; only apply the default fallback
when the user chooses a replacement or the task is unbound.
