# Phase 06 Plan 02: RRULE UNTIL/COUNT Serialization + FREQ Persistence Summary
**One-liner:** RRULE UNTIL/COUNT serialization with value-type-matching (DATE vs DATETIME UTC) via `assembleRruleString`, wired into both create + update outbox branches, with a FREQ=DAILY regression lock.
## Tasks Completed
| # | Name | Commit | Type |
|---|------|--------|------|
| 1 | RED — failing tests for UNTIL/COUNT serialization + FREQ-persistence regression | a59455a | test |
| 2 | GREEN — assembleRruleString + Zod schema acceptance, wired into the write path | d2abb91 | feat |
## What Was Built
### Task 1: RED
Added failing tests to two files:
**`vevent.test.ts`** — three new serialization assertions confirming ical.js 2.2.1 handles UNTIL/COUNT correctly via the existing `ICAL.Recur.fromString` path:
- `FREQ=WEEKLY;COUNT=5``RRULE:FREQ=WEEKLY;COUNT=5`
- `FREQ=DAILY;UNTIL=20260630` (all-day) → contains `RRULE:FREQ=DAILY;UNTIL=20260630`, does NOT contain `T235959Z`
- `FREQ=WEEKLY;UNTIL=20260630T235959Z` (timed) → `RRULE:FREQ=WEEKLY;UNTIL=20260630T235959Z`
**`outboxWorker.test.ts`** — two new describe blocks:
- `assembleRruleString (D-06)`: 6 cases covering COUNT wins, UNTIL DATE/DATETIME, COUNT-wins-over-UNTIL mutual exclusion, base preset unchanged
- `FREQ persistence (D-07 regression)`: 1 case asserting daily-recurrence payload emits `RRULE:FREQ=DAILY`
RED confirmed: `assembleRruleString is not a function` (6 failing tests).
### Task 2: GREEN
**`apps/api/src/broker/outboxWorker.ts`:**
- Added `recurrenceUntil: z.string().max(10).optional()` and `recurrenceCount: z.number().int().min(1).optional()` to `outboxPayloadSchema` (T-06-02 mitigations)
- Implemented and exported `assembleRruleString(basePreset, until?, count?, allDay?)` with JSDoc (D-06)
- Wired `assembleRruleString` into both create and update dispatch branches
- Fixed precedence: `hasExplicitRecurrence` checked first (covers `recurrence:'none'` → explicitly yields `undefined`); `preservedRrule` only used when no explicit recurrence
- Series-edit Pitfall 3: when a bound-only change applies to a preserved RRULE, strips `UNTIL/COUNT` via `/;(UNTIL|COUNT)=[^;]*/g` before re-applying
**`apps/api/src/routes/events.ts`:**
- Added `recurrenceUntil: z.string().max(10).optional()` and `recurrenceCount: z.number().int().min(1).optional()` to `eventFieldsSchema`
All 39 tests pass. The previously passing CR-01 (`recurrence:'none' wins over _preservedRrule`) was initially broken by the change and auto-fixed (Rule 1 bug: logic precedence error).
## TDD Gate Compliance
| Gate | Status |
|------|--------|
| RED commit (`test(06-02):`) | a59455a — exists, confirmed failing |
| GREEN commit (`feat(06-02):`) | d2abb91 — follows RED commit |
| Commit order | test(06-02) precedes feat(06-02) — verified via `git log` |
## Deviations from Plan
### Auto-fixed Issues
**1. [Rule 1 - Bug] Fixed hasExplicitRecurrence precedence for recurrence:'none'**
- **Found during:** Task 2 (GREEN)
- **Issue:** Initial implementation used `if (hasExplicitRecurrence && rruleFromPayload)` — when `recurrence:'none'`, `rruleFromPayload` is `undefined`, so the condition was `false`, incorrectly falling through to `else if (preservedRrule)` and emitting an RRULE even though the user explicitly selected 'none'. Broke existing `CR-01: explicit recurrence:'none' wins` test.
- **Fix:** Changed to `if (hasExplicitRecurrence)` with an inner ternary: if `rruleFromPayload` is truthy, assemble with bound; otherwise `undefined`. Applied identically to both create and update branches.
- **Files modified:** `apps/api/src/broker/outboxWorker.ts`
- **Commit:** d2abb91 (folded into GREEN commit)
## Verification Evidence
```
cd apps/api && pnpm vitest run tests/broker/vevent.test.ts tests/broker/outboxWorker.test.ts
Test Files 2 passed (2)
Tests 39 passed (39)
```
```
grep -n "recurrenceUntil" apps/api/src/routes/events.ts apps/api/src/broker/outboxWorker.ts
events.ts:111: recurrenceUntil: z.string().max(10).optional()
outboxWorker.ts:84: recurrenceUntil: z.string().max(10).optional()
```
Git log confirms `test(06-02)` precedes `feat(06-02)`.
## Known Stubs
None. All test assertions target exact ICS/RRULE strings verified against ical.js 2.2.1 in RESEARCH. No placeholder data.
## Threat Flags
No new threat surface beyond what was planned in T-06-02 / T-06-02b. Both mitigations implemented:
- `z.string().max(10)` on `recurrenceUntil` + `z.number().int().min(1)` on `recurrenceCount` at both route and outbox schema boundaries.
- `assembleRruleString` uses `.replace(/-/g,'')` (digits only) + fixed templates — no raw passthrough to ICS.
- Assembled string passes through `ICAL.Recur.fromString` (parse-rejects malformed RRULE).
