…cking Implement comprehensive recurring task functionality enabling automatic task regeneration on completion. This is a core Agent 2A feature for the TaskFlow platform. ## What's New ### Database Model (7 new fields) - is_recurring: Enable recurrence for a task - recurrence_pattern: 1m, 5m, 10m, 15m, 30m, 1h, daily, weekly, monthly - max_occurrences: Optional limit on total spawns (null = unlimited) - recurring_root_id: Links all spawned tasks to original root for chain tracking - recurrence_trigger: When to spawn (currently: on_complete only) - clone_subtasks_on_recur: Copy subtasks to new occurrence - has_spawned_next: Duplicate prevention flag ### Backend Logic - create_next_occurrence(): Spawns next task when current is completed - Chain tracking via recurring_root_id + COUNT query - Automatic due date calculation based on pattern - Optional recursive subtask cloning - Full audit logging for all spawn events ### MCP Integration (Agent Parity) - taskflow_add_task supports all recurring fields - Agents can create and manage recurring tasks identically to humans ### Web Dashboard - New task form with recurring options - Task detail page shows recurring status and chain info - Tasks list displays recurrence indicators ### ChatKit Integration - Task form widget supports recurring field configuration - Natural chat-based recurring task creation ## Known Limitations (Documented in Review) - recurrence_trigger only supports 'on_complete' (on_due_date not implemented) - Monthly = 30 days (not calendar-accurate) - No dedicated test suite for recurring logic yet 🤖 Generated with [Claude Code](https://claude.com/claude-code) Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
- Shorten description strings in Task model fields (E501) - Shorten comment for self-referential relationship (E501) - Remove unused new_task variable assignment (F841) - Add index=True to recurring_root_id for query performance 🤖 Generated with [Claude Code](https://claude.com/claude-code) Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

🟢 Low (Future Consideration)

✅ Clean chain tracking design using
recurring_root_id+ COUNT query✅ Proper audit logging for all spawn events
✅ Full agent parity - MCP tools support recurring task creation
✅ UI integration - Both web form and ChatKit form support recurring fields
✅ Duplicate prevention via
has_spawned_nextflag✅ Subtask cloning is configurable per-task
