Summary

  • Add settings-based configuration for TODO/task reminder thresholds.
  • Add environment variable fallbacks:
    • OPENCLAUDE_TODO_REMINDER_TURNS_SINCE_WRITE
    • OPENCLAUDE_TODO_REMINDER_TURNS_BETWEEN_REMINDERS
  • Preserve the default behavior of 10 turns.
  • Document the new options in .env.example.
  • Add focused coverage in attachments.todoReminder.test.ts.

Impact

Users can tune how frequently TODO and task reminders appear without changing source code. Invalid, zero, negative, or unset values fall back to the default threshold.

Testing

  • bun test src/utils/attachments.todoReminder.test.ts ✅ 5 tests passed
  • git diff --check main...HEAD
  • bun run typecheck currently fails on the existing missing @sentry/node dependency in sentry.ts, unrelated to this change.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features

    • Added configuration options for controlling when todo and task reminders appear.
    • Reminder thresholds can be set through application settings or environment variables.
    • Invalid, zero, negative, or missing values automatically use safe defaults.
  • Documentation

    • Added commented examples describing the available reminder threshold environment variables and their default values.

Configurable reminder thresholds can ignore a valid single settings value or accept malformed environment values, causing reminders to appear at unintended intervals or never appear. Settings precedence and partial fallback also lack reliable coverage, so this should be corrected before merge.

Greptile Summary

The PR makes TODO and task reminder thresholds configurable through settings or environment variables while retaining ten-turn defaults.

  • Adds optional reminder threshold fields to the settings schema.
  • Adds environment-variable parsing and applies the resulting thresholds to TODO and task reminders.
  • Documents the variables and adds focused environment fallback tests.

Confidence Score: 3/5

The PR should not merge until partial settings are honored and malformed numeric environment values reliably fall back to defaults.

Valid partial settings are silently discarded, while prefix-based parsing converts malformed or fractional environment values into active reminder thresholds.

Isolate merged settings and test settings precedence.

getTodoReminderConfig reads merged settings before environment variables. This suite clears only environment variables. If a settings source defines both thresholds, the environment assertions test the wrong branch.

Reset or stub the merged settings state for each test. Add focused tests for settings precedence and for one configured setting field with the other field falling back to the environment or default.

As per path instructions, “Behavior changes require focused tests” and tests must isolate global, environment, and configuration state.

🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win

Resolve each threshold independently.

When only todoReminder.turnsSinceWrite is set, this condition falls through and ignores that setting. The resolver then returns environment or default values for both fields. The schema marks both fields optional, so use a per-field settings-to-environment fallback.

Proposed fix
-  if (config?.turnsSinceWrite !== undefined && config?.turnsBetweenReminders !== undefined) {
-    return {
-      turnsSinceWrite: config.turnsSinceWrite,
-      turnsBetweenReminders: config.turnsBetweenReminders,
-    }
-  }
-
-  // Fall back to environment variables
-  const envTurnsSinceWrite = getEnvNumber(
+  const turnsSinceWrite = config?.turnsSinceWrite ?? getEnvNumber(
     'OPENCLAUDE_TODO_REMINDER_TURNS_SINCE_WRITE',
     10,
   )

Reject partially parsed environment values.

The environment fallback in getTodoReminderConfig uses getEnvNumber as a reminder threshold. Number.parseInt accepts 15x as 15 and 1.5 as 1. An oversized decimal becomes Infinity, which passes the current checks and prevents finite turn counts from reaching the reminder threshold. Require a complete decimal representation and a safe positive integer. Add focused cases to src/utils/attachments.todoReminder.test.ts for suffixes, decimals, and oversized values.

🟡 Changes recommended

getTodoReminderConfig() currently ignores partial settings configuration (both fields must be set), and getEnvNumber() has an incorrect copy/pasted doc comment.

Once you've addressed the issues Copilot identified, you can request another Copilot review.

Pull request overview

This PR adds user-configurable thresholds for TODO/task reminder attachments by introducing settings-schema support plus environment variable fallbacks, keeping the existing default behavior (10 turns) and documenting the new env vars.

Changes:

  • Add todoReminder settings schema with two optional positive integer thresholds.
  • Add getEnvNumber helper and wire getTodoReminderConfig() into todo/task reminder attachment gating.
  • Document new env vars in .env.example and add targeted unit tests for env-var parsing/defaulting.

I found issues that need to be addressed before this is ready.

Merge readiness

  • [P3] Rebase onto current main when convenient
    Branch head is two commits behind live main (1afeb4b1); the drift is docs-only (README.md, docs/skills.md, web/public/llms.txt) and does not conflict with this diff.

Findings

  • [P1] Resolve each todoReminder threshold independently across settings and env
    src/utils/attachments.ts:278

    What happens today

    getTodoReminderConfig() only reads settings.todoReminder when both turnsSinceWrite and turnsBetweenReminders are defined. If either field is missing, it skips the entire settings object and recomputes both values from env/defaults:

    if (config?.turnsSinceWrite !== undefined && config?.turnsBetweenReminders !== undefined) {
      return { turnsSinceWrite: config.turnsSinceWrite, turnsBetweenReminders: config.turnsBetweenReminders }
    }
    // env fallback for both fields

    Why this is a defect (not style drift)

    • SettingsSchema.todoReminder marks each field .optional() (types.ts:579-594), so { "todoReminder": { "turnsSinceWrite": 15 } } is valid settings.
    • The new test file already expects per-field env behavior (attachments.todoReminder.test.ts:78-84: one env var set, the other defaults to 10).
    • Settings and env are inconsistent: partial env works; partial settings does not.

    Repro

    With merged settings { todoReminder: { turnsSinceWrite: 15 } } and no env vars, getTodoReminderConfig() returns {10, 10} instead of {15, 10}.

    Mixed-source repro: settings turnsSinceWrite: 15 plus env OPENCLAUDE_TODO_REMINDER_TURNS_BETWEEN_REMINDERS=20 returns {10, 20} — the settings value is dropped.

    Root cause

    Settings and env are modeled as two mutually exclusive branches (if complete settings else all-env) instead of one resolver with per-field precedence.

    Fix guidance (address the root cause, not just the gate)

    Replace the all-or-nothing branch with per-field resolution, for example:

    const turnsSinceWrite =
      config?.turnsSinceWrite ??
      getEnvNumber('OPENCLAUDE_TODO_REMINDER_TURNS_SINCE_WRITE', 10)
    const turnsBetweenReminders =
      config?.turnsBetweenReminders ??
      getEnvNumber('OPENCLAUDE_TODO_REMINDER_TURNS_BETWEEN_REMINDERS', 10)
    return { turnsSinceWrite, turnsBetweenReminders }

    Precedence per field: settings value when present → matching env var → default 10. When both settings fields are set, env is ignored for those fields (same as today for the full-settings case).

    Tests to add

    Stub merged settings (for example via setSessionSettingsCache / mock.module on getSettings_DEPRECATED, following attribution.test.ts or modelOptions.crossProfile.test.ts):

    1. Both settings fields override env.
    2. Partial settings: one field from settings, the other from env or default.
    3. Partial settings + partial env (the mixed-source repro above).

    The existing env-only tests are useful but do not exercise the settings path this PR adds.

  • [P2] Make getEnvNumber() match the PR’s invalid-value contract
    src/utils/envUtils.ts:216

    What happens today

    getEnvNumber() uses Number.parseInt(value, 10) and only rejects NaN or <= 0. Prefix and truncated forms are accepted:

    Input Result PR-claimed behavior
    15abc 15 default 10
    1e2 1 default 10
    10.5 10 default 10
    999999999999999999999 1e+21 default 10

    The PR description states: “Invalid, zero, negative, or unset values fall back to the default threshold.” Prefix garbage and oversized values violate that contract.

    User impact

    • Typos like 15turns silently change cadence instead of falling back.
    • Very large values make turnsSinceLastWrite >= threshold effectively never true, so reminders stop appearing with no error.

    Root cause

    The helper delegates validation to parseInt prefix semantics instead of checking that the entire string is a safe positive integer. This is a new helper introduced specifically for user-facing configuration, so tightening it here is in scope even though other parts of the repo use looser parseInt patterns.

    Fix guidance

    Validate the whole string before parsing. parseMaxActiveMessagesLimit() in maxActiveMessages.ts is a good in-repo precedent:

    const trimmed = value.trim()
    if (!/^(0|[1-9]\d*)$/.test(trimmed)) return defaultValue
    const parsed = Number.parseInt(trimmed, 10)
    if (!Number.isSafeInteger(parsed) || parsed <= 0) return defaultValue
    return parsed

    Keep <= 0 and unset → default. Add tests in attachments.todoReminder.test.ts for suffixed, decimal, scientific-notation, and oversized inputs.

    Scope note

    I am not asking for a repo-wide parseInt cleanup — only that this new configuration helper honor the contract stated in this PR.

  • [P3] Fix the misplaced JSDoc above getEnvNumber()
    src/utils/envUtils.ts:200

    The comment block above the new helper is copied from isInProtectedNamespace() (“Conservative check for whether Claude Code is running inside a protected … namespace”). getEnvNumber() has no doc comment describing its actual behavior (parse a positive integer env var, return default otherwise).

    Root cause: copy-paste during insertion. Replace with a short accurate doc comment for getEnvNumber(); leave the existing isInProtectedNamespace() block below unchanged.

Documentation note (optional, not a merge blocker)

If you keep the new vars in .env.example, consider a one-line comment that they must be shell-exported (same pattern as API_TIMEOUT_MS at line 505–506). The file header already says runtime/debug vars should be exported from the shell; an inline note next to the new entries helps users who copy .env for --provider-env-file without reading the header. I am not asking for envFile.ts allowlist changes — that is a broader pattern shared by other runtime vars already in the example file.
