cron: automatic trigger omits timestamp in conversation title (run-now includes it) #658

Description

@IceyLiu

Summary

When a cron (scheduled) task fires and creates a new conversation, the generated conversation title should include the trigger timestamp. Currently:

  • Manual trigger ("Run now") → the new conversation title includes the time.
  • Automatic trigger (scheduler fires at the scheduled time) → the title does not include the time.

The two trigger paths produce inconsistent conversation titles.

Reported by a user via AionUi in-app feedback (AionUi @ 2.1.37, bundled AionCore v0.1.27).

Root cause (from investigation on the AionUi side)

This is a backend divergence in the aionui-cron crate — the AionUi TypeScript layers never compose the cron conversation title, they only display it (title comes from the backend and is stored in cron_jobs.conversation_title).

There appear to be two independent "create new conversation for cron job" code sites that each build the title on their own, rather than sharing one helper:

  • Run-now pathaionui-cron/src/routes.rs, the /api/cron/jobs/{id}/run handler. This branch builds the title and appends the trigger timestamp.
  • Scheduler tick pathaionui-cron/src/scheduler.rs / executor.rs. This branch builds the title on its own and does not append the timestamp (appears to use the raw job name / conversation_title only).

Both branches log Created new conversation for cron job, but only the run-now branch runs the timestamp-append step.

Suggested fix

Factor the new-conversation title construction (including the timestamp-append step) into a single shared helper, and have both the run-now handler and the scheduler tick call it, so automatic and manual triggers produce identical titles.

Notes

  • Not reproducible/fixable from the AionUi (packages/desktop) repo — the fix must land in this crate and ship in a rebuilt aioncore binary.
  • Low severity (cosmetic title inconsistency), but it's a user-visible inconsistency between the two trigger modes.
