 **Goal:** Make the household timezone an explicit, stored, user-changeable setting — auto-detected from the browser at first run, changeable from the role-gated /admin Settings — and route the server-side all-day "9 AM local" reminder computation through it (replacing the implicit `process.env.TZ` fallback), without touching the already-correct browser-local display/timed-write path.
 **Requirements**: TBD (decision contract D-01..D-07 from 18-CONTEXT.md)
 **Depends on:** Phase 10 (admin role + `/admin` Settings + `app_config`); Phase 11 (all-day reminder computation this rewires). Independent of Phase 17. Phase 12 (setup wizard) not required — seeding is self-contained.

+# Phase 18 Plan 01: Household Timezone Accessor + IANA Validator Summary
+
+**Single D-05 accessor `getHouseholdTimezone(db)` reads `household_timezone` from `app_config` with D-06 fallback chain; `isValidIanaTimezone(tz)` validates via `Intl.DateTimeFormat` try/catch (not `supportedValuesOf`)**
+
+## Performance
+
+- **Duration:** 2 min
+- **Started:** 2026-06-15T02:04:31Z
+- **Completed:** 2026-06-15T02:06:50Z
+- **Tasks:** 2 (TDD RED + GREEN)
+- **Files modified:** 2
+
+## Accomplishments
+
+- Created `apps/api/src/lib/householdTimezone.ts` exporting `getHouseholdTimezone` and `isValidIanaTimezone`
+- 11 unit tests cover all 6 required behaviors: stored row, no-row + TZ env, no-row + no-TZ, null row, valid zones, invalid zones
+- D-06 fallback chain `row?.value ?? process.env.TZ ?? Intl.DateTimeFormat().resolvedOptions().timeZone` reproduced verbatim
+- TypeScript typecheck (`tsc --noEmit`) clean; full 358-test suite green with no regressions
+- TDD gate compliance: RED commit (`db0077c`) precedes GREEN commit (`eaceff0`)
+
+## Task Commits
+
+1. **Task 1: RED — failing unit tests** - `db0077c` (test)
+2. **Task 2: GREEN — implement accessor + validator** - `eaceff0` (feat)
+
+**Plan metadata:** (see final docs commit below)
+
+## Files Created/Modified
+
+- `apps/api/src/lib/householdTimezone.ts` — D-05 accessor + IANA validator, exported for broker + admin route consumers
+- `apps/api/tests/lib/householdTimezone.test.ts` — 11 unit tests for fallback chain and validator
+
+## Decisions Made
+
+- `isValidIanaTimezone` uses `Intl.DateTimeFormat(undefined, { timeZone: tz })` try/catch — `Intl.supportedValuesOf('timeZone')` was explicitly avoided because it omits `'UTC'` in some environments (RESEARCH Pitfall 2).
+- Fallback chain matches the verbatim expression found at `reminderScheduler.ts:247` so the all-day reminder path continues to work unchanged before Plan 02 seeds a stored value.
+- `db` is accepted as a parameter (not imported from `db/client.js`) to enable clean mock-based unit testing without a live MariaDB connection.
+
+## Deviations from Plan
+
+None — plan executed exactly as written.
+
+## Issues Encountered
+
+- The vitest global setup requires a MariaDB connection (`global-setup.ts`). Tests need to be run with `DB_HOST=127.0.0.1` when running locally (the `.env` sets `DB_HOST=mariadb` for Docker networking). This is a known dev environment pattern documented in `familysync-dev-stack-setup.md` and has no effect on CI (which uses the service container).
+
+## Known Stubs
+
+None — this plan creates a pure utility module with no UI stubs or placeholder data.
+
+## Threat Flags
+
+None — no new network endpoints, auth paths, file access patterns, or schema changes were introduced. The accessor is a read-only DB lookup within the trusted server process (T-18-01 disposition: accept).
+
+## TDD Gate Compliance
+
+- RED gate: `db0077c` — `test(18-01): add failing tests for household timezone accessor + IANA validator`
+- GREEN gate: `eaceff0` — `feat(18-01): implement household timezone accessor + IANA validator`
+- REFACTOR gate: N/A (implementation was clean on first pass)
+
+## Next Phase Readiness
+
+- `getHouseholdTimezone` and `isValidIanaTimezone` are the foundation both Plan 18-02 (broker rewire) and Plan 18-03 (admin API + Zod refine) consume.
+- Plan 18-02 can import `getHouseholdTimezone` from `../lib/householdTimezone.js` to replace the bare `process.env.TZ ?? Intl…` lookups in `reminderScheduler.ts:247` and `outboxWorker.ts:501,607`.
+- Plan 18-03 can import `isValidIanaTimezone` for the Zod `.refine()` on `PUT /api/admin/config/timezone`.
+
+## Self-Check: PASSED
+
+- `apps/api/src/lib/householdTimezone.ts` — FOUND
+- `apps/api/tests/lib/householdTimezone.test.ts` — FOUND
+- Commit `db0077c` — FOUND
+- Commit `eaceff0` — FOUND

+
+---
+
+## Pattern Assignments
+
+### `apps/api/src/lib/householdTimezone.ts` (NEW — utility, DB read)
+
+**Analog:** `apps/api/src/lib/requireAdmin.ts`
+
+**Why this analog:** `requireAdmin.ts` is the project's only existing single-purpose lib helper that performs a single Drizzle `SELECT … .limit(1)` lookup from a DB table, matches on a PK-style key, and returns a typed result. The import style, Drizzle usage pattern, and file structure all transfer directly.
+
+**Imports pattern** (`requireAdmin.ts` lines 17–23):
+```typescript
+import '../auth/devBypass.js';         // side-effect import pattern — omit for householdTimezone.ts
+import type { MiddlewareHandler } from 'hono';
+import { eq } from 'drizzle-orm';
+import { db } from '../db/client.js';
+import { users } from '../db/schema.js';
+```
+
+For `householdTimezone.ts`, adapt imports to:
+```typescript
+import { eq } from 'drizzle-orm';
+import type { MySql2Database } from 'drizzle-orm/mysql2';
+import type * as schema from '../db/schema.js';
+import { appConfig } from '../db/schema.js';
+```
+
+**Core DB read pattern** (`requireAdmin.ts` lines 37–41):
+```typescript
+const [row] = await db
+  .select({ isAdmin: users.isAdmin })
+  .from(users)
+  .where(eq(users.id, userId))
+  .limit(1);
+
+if (!row?.isAdmin) { ... }
+```
+
+Adapt to `appConfig` PK lookup:
+```typescript
+const [row] = await db
+  .select({ value: appConfig.value })
+  .from(appConfig)
+  .where(eq(appConfig.key, 'household_timezone'))
+  .limit(1);
+
+return (
+  row?.value ??
+  process.env.TZ ??
+  Intl.DateTimeFormat().resolvedOptions().timeZone
+);
+```
+
+**D-06 fallback chain:** The fallback `process.env.TZ ?? Intl.DateTimeFormat().resolvedOptions().timeZone` mirrors the exact pattern currently at `reminderScheduler.ts:247` and `outboxWorker.ts:501,607`. It must be preserved verbatim as the fallback so existing tests (which pin `process.env.TZ`) continue to pass when no DB row is found.
+
+**IANA validator (same file):** No analog exists in the codebase — use `try/catch Intl.DateTimeFormat` (no external lib, no `Intl.supportedValuesOf` — see Research Pitfall 2 for why):
+```typescript
+export function isValidIanaTimezone(tz: string): boolean {
+  try {
+    Intl.DateTimeFormat(undefined, { timeZone: tz });
+    return true;
+  } catch {
+    return false;
+  }
+}
+```
+
+---
+
+### `apps/api/src/routes/admin.ts` — extend with GET + PUT `/config/timezone`
+
+**Analog:** `apps/api/src/routes/admin.ts` — existing `GET /calendars` (lines 130–140) and `PUT /calendars/:id/shared` (lines 150–180).
+
+**Security guard pattern** (`admin.ts` lines 39–41 — DO NOT MOVE):
+```typescript
+// Pitfall 9: requireAdmin MUST be the first statement on the router.
+// All sub-routes are protected — no path can be reached without passing this guard.
+adminRouter.use('*', requireAdmin);
+```
+New routes are appended **after** all existing routes. `adminRouter.use('*', requireAdmin)` already covers them positionally in Hono.
+
+**Simple GET pattern** (`admin.ts` lines 130–140 — exact model for GET `/config/timezone`):
+```typescript
+adminRouter.get('/calendars', async (c) => {
+  const rows = await db
+    .select({
+      id: calendars.id,
+      displayName: calendars.displayName,
+      isShared: calendars.isShared,
+    })
+    .from(calendars);
+
+  return c.json({ calendars: rows });
+});
+```
+
+**Validated PUT pattern** (`admin.ts` lines 150–180 — model for PUT `/config/timezone`):
+```typescript
+adminRouter.put('/calendars/:id/shared', async (c) => {
+  const targetId = parseInt(c.req.param('id'), 10);
+  if (isNaN(targetId)) {
+    return c.json({ error: 'Invalid calendar id' }, 400);
+  }
+  // ... DB write ...
+  return c.json({ ok: true }, 200);
+});
+```
+
+For the timezone PUT, use `zValidator` (already imported at line 24) instead of manual param parsing:
+```typescript
+adminRouter.put(
+  '/config/timezone',
+  zValidator('json', timezoneSchema),
+  async (c) => {
+    const { timezone } = c.req.valid('json');
+    await db
+      .insert(appConfig)
+      .values({ key: 'household_timezone', value: timezone })
+      .onDuplicateKeyUpdate({ set: { value: timezone } });
+    return c.json({ ok: true }, 200);
+  },
+);
+```
+
+**Zod schema placement** (`admin.ts` lines 47–52 — place new schema alongside existing schemas):
+```typescript
+const credentialSchema = z.object({
+  userId: z.number().int().positive(),
+  // ...
+});
+```
+New `timezoneSchema` goes in the same "Zod schema" block:
+```typescript
+const timezoneSchema = z.object({
+  timezone: z
+    .string()
+    .min(1)
+    .max(64)
+    .refine(isValidIanaTimezone, { message: 'Invalid IANA timezone identifier' }),
+});
+```
+
+**Import additions needed** (`admin.ts` line 28 — add `appConfig` to schema imports; add `householdTimezone.ts` exports):
+```typescript
+import { users, memberCredentials, calendars, appConfig } from '../db/schema.js';
+import { isValidIanaTimezone, getHouseholdTimezone } from '../lib/householdTimezone.js';
+```
+
+**noEchoHook:** NOT needed for timezone routes. Timezone strings are non-sensitive (RESEARCH.md Security Domain). Standard `zValidator` without a custom hook is correct.
+
+---
+
+### `apps/api/src/broker/reminderScheduler.ts` — modify line 247
+
+**Analog:** Same file, same function (`runReminderCheck`).
+
+**Current pattern at line 247** (verified by research):
+```typescript
+const serverTz = process.env.TZ ?? Intl.DateTimeFormat().resolvedOptions().timeZone;
+```
+
+**Replacement pattern:**
+```typescript
+const serverTz = await getHouseholdTimezone(db);
+```
+
+The surrounding call at line 256 (`computeAlertInstantUtc(dtstartDate, leadDays, serverTz)`) is unchanged — `serverTz` remains a `string`, the contract is identical.
+
+**Import to add** (top of `reminderScheduler.ts`):
+```typescript
+import { getHouseholdTimezone } from '../lib/householdTimezone.js';
+```
+
+**DB parameter:** `reminderScheduler.ts` already has `db` in scope in the `runReminderCheck` function (Drizzle queries are present elsewhere in the file). Pass it directly to `getHouseholdTimezone(db)`.
+
+---
+
+### `apps/api/src/broker/outboxWorker.ts` — modify lines 501 and 607
+
+**Analog:** Same file, same function (`runOutboxDrain`), two all-day branches.
+
+**Current pattern at both sites** (verified by research):
+```typescript
+// Line 501 (update branch):
+const tz = process.env.TZ ?? Intl.DateTimeFormat().resolvedOptions().timeZone;
+const leadDays = fields.reminderLeadMinutes / 1440;
+allDayAlertInstantUtcUpdate = computeAlertInstantUtc(fields.start, leadDays, tz);
+
+// Line 607 (create branch):
+const tz = process.env.TZ ?? Intl.DateTimeFormat().resolvedOptions().timeZone;
+const leadDays = fields.reminderLeadMinutes / 1440;
+allDayAlertInstantUtcCreate = computeAlertInstantUtc(fields.start, leadDays, tz);
+```
+
+**Replacement at both sites:**
+```typescript
+const tz = await getHouseholdTimezone(db);
+```
+
+Both sites are in the same `runOutboxDrain` function. If both branches can be reached in a single call, consider computing `tz` once at the top of the all-day processing block and reusing it. The surrounding calls to `computeAlertInstantUtc` are unchanged.
+
+**Import to add** (top of `outboxWorker.ts`):
+```typescript
+import { getHouseholdTimezone } from '../lib/householdTimezone.js';
+```
+
+---
+
+### `apps/pwa/src/api/client.ts` — extend with admin timezone functions
+
+**Analog:** Same file, `fetchAdminCalendars` (lines 445–454) and `setSharedCalendar` (lines 462–469).
+
+**GET fetch pattern** (`client.ts` lines 445–454 — exact model):
+```typescript
+export async function fetchAdminCalendars(): Promise<AdminCalendarsResponse> {
+  const res = await fetch('/api/admin/calendars', {
+    credentials: 'include',
+    redirect: 'manual',
+  });
+
+  handleAuthResponse(res, 'GET /api/admin/calendars');
+
+  return res.json() as Promise<AdminCalendarsResponse>;
+}
+```
+
+Adapt to timezone:
+```typescript
+export interface AdminTimezoneResponse {
+  timezone: string;
+  isExplicitlySet: boolean;
+}
+
+export async function fetchAdminTimezone(): Promise<AdminTimezoneResponse> {
+  const res = await fetch('/api/admin/config/timezone', {
+    credentials: 'include',
+    redirect: 'manual',
+  });
+  handleAuthResponse(res, 'GET /api/admin/config/timezone');
+  return res.json() as Promise<AdminTimezoneResponse>;
+}
+```
+
+**PUT fetch pattern** (`client.ts` lines 462–469 — model for setAdminTimezone; note `setSharedCalendar` has no body, so also borrow the body pattern from `saveCredential` at lines 429–439):
+```typescript
+export async function setAdminTimezone(timezone: string): Promise<void> {
+  const res = await fetch('/api/admin/config/timezone', {
+    method: 'PUT',
+    headers: { 'Content-Type': 'application/json' },
+    credentials: 'include',
+    redirect: 'manual',
+    body: JSON.stringify({ timezone }),
+  });
+  handleAuthResponse(res, 'PUT /api/admin/config/timezone');
+}
+```
+
+**Placement:** Append in the `// ── /api/admin/* ──` section (after line 469), before the `saveMyCredential` function.
+
+---
+
+### `apps/pwa/src/routes/AdminPage.tsx` — extend with Timezone section
+
+**Analog:** Same file, Shared Calendar section (lines 182–288).
+
+**Query pattern** (`AdminPage.tsx` lines 72–77 — exact model):
+```typescript
+const calendarsQuery = useQuery({
+  queryKey: ['admin', 'calendars'],
+  queryFn: fetchAdminCalendars,
+  retry: false,
+  staleTime: 60 * 1000,
+});
+```
+
+Adapt:
+```typescript
+const timezoneQuery = useQuery({
+  queryKey: ['admin', 'timezone'],
+  queryFn: fetchAdminTimezone,
+  retry: false,
+  staleTime: 60 * 1000,
+});
+```
+
+**Mutation + invalidation pattern** (`AdminPage.tsx` lines 86–94 — exact model):
+```typescript
+const sharedCalMutation = useMutation({
+  mutationFn: (calId: number) => setSharedCalendar(calId),
+  onSuccess: () => {
+    void queryClient.invalidateQueries({ queryKey: ['admin', 'calendars'] });
+    void queryClient.invalidateQueries({ queryKey: ['events'] });
+    setSelectedCalendarId(null);
+  },
+});
+```
+
+Adapt:
+```typescript
+const timezoneMutation = useMutation({
+  mutationFn: (tz: string) => setAdminTimezone(tz),
+  onSuccess: () => {
+    void queryClient.invalidateQueries({ queryKey: ['admin', 'timezone'] });
+  },
+});
+```
+
+**Section structure** (`AdminPage.tsx` lines 182–288 — use as template):
+```tsx
+<section aria-label="Shared Calendar">
+  <div style={sectionLabelStyle}>Shared Calendar</div>
+  {/* loading, error, empty, data states */}
+</section>
+```
+
+New section follows the same four-state pattern (loading, error, empty/unset, data). Reuse `sectionLabelStyle` (defined at line 40–47) without modification. Add `marginBottom: 'var(--space-8, 32px)'` to the preceding section to separate from the new one.
+
+**Save button pattern** (`AdminPage.tsx` lines 244–285):
+```tsx
+<button
+  type="button"
+  disabled={saveDisabled}
+  onClick={() => { /* mutate */ }}
+  style={{
+    background: saveDisabled ? 'var(--color-border, #E2E4E9)' : 'var(--color-member-0, #4A90D9)',
+    color: '#ffffff',
+    border: 'none',
+    cursor: saveDisabled ? 'default' : 'pointer',
+    fontSize: 'var(--text-label-size, 13px)',
+    fontWeight: 600,
+    minHeight: '44px',
+    minWidth: '44px',
+    padding: '0 var(--space-6, 24px)',
+    borderRadius: 'var(--space-1, 4px)',
+    fontFamily: 'var(--font-family-base)',
+    transition: 'background 0.15s ease',
+  }}
+>
+  {mutation.isPending ? 'Saving…' : 'Save'}
+</button>
+```
+
+**IANA picker UX — no library:** Use `<input type="text" list="iana-zones">` + `<datalist>` populated from `Intl.supportedValuesOf('timeZone')`. This is consistent with the project's hand-rolled inline-styles convention (no component library). Initial value of the input: `timezoneQuery.data?.timezone ?? ''` (shows stored value or fallback). The `isExplicitlySet` flag from the API response can display a subtle "using system default" note when `false`.
+
+**Import additions for AdminPage.tsx:**
+```typescript
+import {
+  fetchAdminTimezone,
+  setAdminTimezone,
+  type AdminTimezoneResponse,
+} from '../api/client.js';
+```
+

+
+## Shared Patterns

+### Admin Route Guard

+**Apply to:** All new routes in `admin.ts` (inherited automatically — no per-route addition needed)
+```typescript

+// This single middleware statement covers ALL routes registered on adminRouter,
+// including appended routes. Do not add requireAdmin inline to individual handlers.

+**Source:** Established pattern from `admin.ts` + Drizzle mysql2 dialect (verified in RESEARCH.md)
+**Apply to:** PUT `/config/timezone` handler and the seeding helper
+```typescript
+await db
+  .insert(appConfig)
+  .values({ key: 'household_timezone', value: timezone })
+  .onDuplicateKeyUpdate({ set: { value: timezone } });
+```
+Note: `app_config.key` is the PK (`varchar(128).primaryKey()`), so this is a true upsert. `drizzle-orm@0.45.2` + `mysql2@3.22.4` support this syntax natively.
+
+### Drizzle Single-Row PK Lookup
+**Source:** `apps/api/src/lib/requireAdmin.ts` lines 37–41
+**Apply to:** `getHouseholdTimezone` helper and GET `/config/timezone` handler
+```typescript
+const [row] = await db
+  .select({ value: appConfig.value })
+  .from(appConfig)
+  .where(eq(appConfig.key, 'household_timezone'))
+  .limit(1);
+// row is undefined when no row exists — use optional chaining: row?.value
+```
+
+### Client Auth Response Handling
+**Source:** `apps/pwa/src/api/client.ts` lines 51–58 (`handleAuthResponse`)
+**Apply to:** All new fetch wrappers in `client.ts`
+```typescript
+function handleAuthResponse(res: Response, label: string): void {
+  if (res.type === 'opaqueredirect' || res.status === 401) {
+    throw new SessionExpiredError();
+  }
+  if (!res.ok) {
+    throw new Error(`${label} failed: ${res.status}`);
+  }
+}
+// Usage: call immediately after fetch, before res.json()
+handleAuthResponse(res, 'GET /api/admin/config/timezone');
+```
+
+### TanStack Query + Mutation + Invalidation
+**Source:** `apps/pwa/src/routes/AdminPage.tsx` lines 64–94
+**Apply to:** New Timezone section in `AdminPage.tsx`
+```typescript
+// useQueryClient() already called at top of AdminPage — no additional call needed
+const timezoneQuery = useQuery({ queryKey: ['admin', 'timezone'], queryFn: fetchAdminTimezone, retry: false, staleTime: 60 * 1000 });
+const timezoneMutation = useMutation({
+  mutationFn: (tz: string) => setAdminTimezone(tz),
+  onSuccess: () => void queryClient.invalidateQueries({ queryKey: ['admin', 'timezone'] }),
+});
+```
