When a cron job references a skill that is no longer installed,
_build_job_prompt() now logs a warning and injects a user-visible notice
into the prompt instead of raising RuntimeError. The job continues with
any remaining valid skills and the user prompt.
Adds 4 regression tests for missing skill handling.
Every cron job prompt now includes guidance that the agent can respond
with [SILENT] when it has nothing new or noteworthy to report. The
scheduler checks for this marker and skips delivery, while still saving
output to disk for audit. Failed jobs always deliver regardless.
This replaces the notify parameter approach from PR #1807 with a simpler
always-on design — the model is smart enough to decide when there's
nothing worth reporting without needing a per-job flag.
Salvaged from PR #1292 onto current main. Preserve per-job model,
provider, and base_url overrides in cron execution, persist them in
job records, expose them through the cronjob tool create/update paths,
and add regression coverage. Deliberately does not persist per-job
api_key values.
Resolve cron auto-delivery targets after reloading .env so bare-platform deliveries pick up home-channel settings before the agent run. Add a regression test for the dotenv-backed home-channel path and clean up scheduler tests that were leaking un-awaited send coroutines.
Allow cron runs to keep using send_message for additional destinations, but
skip same-target sends when the scheduler will already auto-deliver the final
response there. Add prompt/tool guidance, docs, and regression coverage for
origin/home-channel resolution and thread-aware comparisons.
- store cron-run sessions with source=cron instead of falling back to cli
- close the per-run SessionDB after completion
- add regression coverage for cron session_db/platform wiring
Follow-up to PR #716 (0xbyt4):
- Log the third remaining silent except-pass in scheduler (prefill
messages JSON parse failure)
- Fix test mock: run → run_conversation (matches actual agent API)
- Remove unused imports (asyncio, AsyncMock)
- Add test for prefill_messages parse failure logging
Two 'except Exception: pass' blocks silently hide failures:
- mirror_to_session failure: user's message never gets mirrored, no trace
- config.yaml parse failure: wrong model used silently
Replace with logger.warning so failures are visible in logs.
Cover model_tools, toolset_distributions, context_compressor,
prompt_caching, cronjob_tools, session_search, process_registry,
and cron/scheduler with 127 new test cases.
