fix(tasks): a page watch never keeps a trigger it has no use for - #394
Conversation
The scheduling step sometimes gave a page watch a triggered schedule (Home Assistant, Google Calendar or a made-up source), so it never checked the page. In planning, a check script that reads the web and has no real trigger (the code never reads trigger_event and the request doesn't name the trigger's app) now gets a recurring schedule: the interval the user said, else the planner's daily or weekly one, else every hour. Closes #389.

Include normalized planner tools in the fallback web check.
When both scripts are rejected, _planned_script records only code-derived tools. The fallback plan can still identify the web plugin from the planner’s plan, but _web_watch_schedule checks only script_tools. polls_the_web can therefore return false, so an unrelated triggered schedule remains.
Pass the normalized plan to _web_watch_schedule and map its plugin IDs back to registered web tool names before calling polls_the_web.

What
For "Track and tell me when a new event is added", qwen3:8b's task-creation step often gives the page watch a
triggeredschedule (home_assistant,gcalendar, or a made-upcustomsource). The planner keeps triggered schedules as they are, so the watch only ever ran when a smart-home or calendar event arrived and never checked the page.Planning now repairs that schedule, next to #375's
every_runrule (built on #379, which is on main):scripts.polls_the_web(tools): the script (or the AI-run task that replaced a rejected one) usesweb_fetch,web_search,news_searchornews_top_headlines.scripts.trigger_is_real(schedule, code, request): the trigger is real when the code readstrigger_event(parsed, so a comment or string that only mentions it doesn't count; review fix), or the request names the trigger's app ("email", "inbox", "calendar", "meeting", "door", "lights", "webhook"...). "Tell me when a new event is added" does not count as naming the calendar.TaskService._web_watch_schedule: a web check with a trigger that isn't real becomes recurring: the interval the request says (spoken_interval), else the planner's daily or weekly schedule, elseinterval60. It ignores a planner interval nobody asked for, because qwen3:8b proposes 5 minutes. A log line names the dropped trigger.I chose to repair the schedule rather than reject it: the right answer is deterministic, so a second planner round would only cost time on a small model.
This doesn't touch #387's code paths (
planner_default,_default_condition, the any-change words). The new code is a separate block in_planafter the existing schedule handling, plus new helpers at the end of the rules section inscripts.py.Docs:

The site log shows bothGET /events.htmlfrom the engine.Note
k2's 5-minute schedule comes from the existing path (the task-creation step said "once" and the planner proposed 5 minutes), not from a trigger. A small model choosing a 5-minute interval nobody asked for is a separate question. This PR leaves that path alone.
