# 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.
**Verified:** 2026-06-10T17:08:30Z
**Status:** passed
**Re-verification:** No — initial verification

## Goal Achievement

### 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. |

**Score:** 5/5 truths verified

### Required Artifacts

| Artifact | Expected | Status | Details |
|----------|----------|--------|---------|
| `apps/api/src/broker/poller.ts` | startBrokerPoller scheduling runPoll via setInterval(5min) | VERIFIED | setInterval at line 96, `5 * 60 * 1000` at line 100, `runPoll().catch(...)` callback |
| `apps/api/src/broker/outboxWorker.ts` | startOutboxWorker scheduling runOutboxDrain via setInterval(15s) | VERIFIED | setInterval at line 758, `15 * 1000` at line 762, `runOutboxDrain().catch(...)` callback |
| `apps/api/src/broker/reminderScheduler.ts` | startReminderScheduler scheduling runReminderCheck via setInterval(1min) | VERIFIED | setInterval at line 210, `60 * 1000` at line 214, `runReminderCheck().catch(...)` callback |

### Key Link Verification

| From | To | Via | Status | Details |
|------|----|-----|--------|---------|
| `apps/api/src/broker/poller.ts` | runPoll | `setInterval(cb, 5 * 60 * 1000)` | VERIFIED | Line 96-100 in startBrokerPoller |
| `apps/api/src/broker/outboxWorker.ts` | runOutboxDrain | `setInterval(cb, 15 * 1000)` | VERIFIED | Line 758-762 in startOutboxWorker |
| `apps/api/src/broker/reminderScheduler.ts` | runReminderCheck | `setInterval(cb, 60 * 1000)` | VERIFIED | Line 210-214 in startReminderScheduler |

### Behavioral Spot-Checks

| Behavior | Command | Result | Status |
|----------|---------|--------|--------|
| TypeScript compiles clean | `pnpm --filter @familysync/api typecheck` | exit 0, no output | PASS |
| Broker unit tests pass | `pnpm --filter @familysync/api exec vitest run tests/broker/` | 8 files / 91 tests passed | PASS |

### Scope Containment

| Check | Result |
|-------|--------|
| Commit d9efbc1 touches only 3 files | VERIFIED — git show stat: outboxWorker.ts, poller.ts, reminderScheduler.ts only |
| index.ts not modified | VERIFIED — not in commit stat |
| package.json not modified | VERIFIED — not in commit stat |
| pnpm-lock.yaml not modified | VERIFIED — not in commit stat |
| No `.unref()` added | VERIFIED — grep returns no matches in any of the three files |

### Anti-Patterns Found

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

### Human Verification Required

None.
