Add scheduled prompt timers, per-session notification opt-in, and "still running" reminders

[Copilot]

Adds three notification and timer features to Copilot sessions.

Scheduled prompt timers

The core feature: set a timer that automatically runs a given prompt in a session and reports back with the results via system notification.

• ScheduledPrompt model — stores session name, prompt text, optional label, NextRunAt, RepeatIntervalMinutes, IsEnabled, LastRunAt
• ScheduledPromptService — background timer checks every minute for due prompts, fires them via SendPromptAsync (enqueues if session is busy, retries if session is not found), sends a system notification when the result arrives. Persists schedules to ~/.polypilot/scheduled-prompts.json
• "📅 Schedule a prompt…" added to both the sidebar session menu and the dashboard card menu
• Schedule form in the sidebar footer and a modal overlay on the dashboard — enter the prompt, an optional label, and choose:
  • After a delay: 1 / 5 / 10 / 15 / 30 min, 1h, 2h (one-shot)
  • Repeating: every 5 / 15 / 30 min, 1h, 2h, 6h, or daily
• The form also lists active schedules for the session with a countdown and a remove button

Per-session notification opt-in

• AgentSessionInfo.NotifyOnComplete (bool, default false) — per-session flag independent of the global EnableSessionNotifications setting
• CopilotService.SetSessionNotifyOnComplete(sessionName, bool) — public toggle method
• Session card menu and sidebar item menu both get "🔔 Notify when done" / "🔔 Watching (tap to stop)" toggle; bell badge appears in card header and sidebar when active
• Completion notification fires when either the global setting or per-session flag is set

Timer-based "still running" reminders

• ConnectionSettings.NotificationReminderIntervalMinutes (int, default 0 = off) — configures reminder cadence
• The processing watchdog calls SendReminderNotificationIfDueAsync each tick with interval-based deduplication via Interlocked.CompareExchange
• Reminder body: "⏱ Still running · 5m elapsed" / "⏱ Still running · 1h 10m elapsed"
• Settings UI shows a reminder interval dropdown (Off / 2 / 5 / 10 / 15 / 30 min) below the existing notification toggle

Implemented in c21cd08. The feature works as follows:

Scheduling a prompt — from any session's context menu (sidebar or card), tap "📅 Schedule a prompt…" to open a form where you enter:

• The prompt text to send
• An optional label
• Run mode: after a delay (1 min / 5 / 10 / 15 / 30 / 1h / 2h) or repeating (every 5 min / 15 / 30 / 1h / 2h / 6h / daily)

How it works:

• A background timer checks every minute for due prompts
• When a timer fires, the prompt is sent to the target session via SendPromptAsync; if the session is busy, it's enqueued instead
• A system notification is sent when the result arrives (title 📅 <label>, body = first 80 chars of the response)
• Repeating schedules automatically advance to the next interval; one-shot prompts disable themselves

Managing schedules — the panel also lists existing schedules for the session with a countdown (e.g. "12m", "1h 5m") and an ✕ to remove them.

Schedules persist across restarts in ~/.polypilot/scheduled-prompts.json.

Warning

Firewall rules blocked me from connecting to one or more addresses (expand for details)

I tried to connect to the following addresses, but was blocked by firewall rules:

• 192.0.2.1
  • Triggering command: /usr/share/dotnet/dotnet /usr/share/dotnet/dotnet exec --runtimeconfig /home/REDACTED/work/PolyPilot/PolyPilot/PolyPilot.Tests/bin/Debug/net10.0/PolyPilot.Tests.runtimeconfig.json --depsfile /home/REDACTED/work/PolyPilot/PolyPilot/PolyPilot.Tests/bin/Debug/net10.0/PolyPilot.Tests.deps.json /home/REDACTED/work/PolyPilot/PolyPilot/PolyPilot.Tests/bin/Debug/net10.0/testhost.dll --port 44609 --endpoint 127.0.0.1:044609 --role client --parentprocessid 4396 --telemetryoptedin false (packet block)

If you need me to access, download, or install something from one of these locations, you can either:

• Configure Actions setup steps to set up my environment, which run before the firewall is enabled
• Add the appropriate URLs or hosts to the custom allowlist in this repository's Copilot coding agent settings (admins only)
