# Quick Task 260610-i4x: Verification Report

**Task Goal:** Replace node-cron with setInterval in the three background workers (poller, outboxWorker, reminderScheduler) so scheduled tasks fire in the long-running process.

### Observable Truths

| #   | Truth                                                                                            | Status   | Evidence                                                                                                                                                                                |
| --- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ | -------- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| 1   | The three background workers schedule their callbacks with setInterval, not node-cron schedule() | VERIFIED | Each start\* function contains `setInterval(()=>{…}, N)` at lines poller.ts:96, outboxWorker.ts:758, reminderScheduler.ts:210. Zero `schedule(` calls remain in any of the three files. |
| 2   | No worker file imports node-cron                                                                 | VERIFIED | All remaining `node-cron` text is inside JSDoc block comments (WHY context). `grep -n "import.*node-cron"` returns no matches. Commit d9efbc1 stat confirms only 3 files changed.       |
| 3   | runPoll / runOutboxDrain / runReminderCheck callback bodies are unchanged (still .catch-wrapped) | VERIFIED | poller.ts:97 `runPoll().catch(...)`, outboxWorker.ts:759 `runOutboxDrain().catch(...)`, reminderScheduler.ts:211 `runReminderCheck().catch(...)` — identical catch wrappers present.    |
| 4   | Interval timings are preserved: poller 5 min, outbox 15 s, reminder 1 min                        | VERIFIED | poller.ts:100 `5 * 60 * 1000` (300000 ms), outboxWorker.ts:762 `15 * 1000` (15000 ms), reminderScheduler.ts:214 `60 * 1000` (60000 ms).                                                 |
| 5   | apps/api typechecks clean and the broker unit tests still pass                                   | VERIFIED | `pnpm --filter @familysync/api typecheck` exited 0 (no output). `pnpm --filter @familysync/api exec vitest run tests/broker/` reported 8 test files passed, 91 tests passed.            |

### Scope Containment

### Anti-Patterns Found

None. All node-cron mentions are in block comments providing WHY context, not imports or calls.

### Human Verification Required

None.
