【AG-26】Continue to Refine Lifenavi Auto-scheduling 1

Q1: Testing has been completed. Task ID4 is untouched and task ID1 has been re-scheduled successfully to "fri_1" in the Scheduling page. However, task ID4 is not shown on May 23 (Fri) under Appointment. Furthermore, the calendar beautifully rendered in V2.9 of gen-reports.php has now become a long one-column table, with a few empty leading rows and a line of days "MonTueWedThuFriSatSun" to the left of the first row. Please see the attached screenshots.The log is:

Q2: Thanks for catching that mistake! What I meant was that task ID1, "Breakfast meeting with the pastor (09:30)," was successfully scheduled to "fri_1." However, in the live report (see attached screenshot), it appears on May 22, which falls on Thursday, not Friday. Does this clarify the issue?I also noticed that you’ve included updated CSS in the new gen-reports.php. If V2.9 was working fine, what’s the reason for updating the CSS?Just a reminder—ALL CSS styles should be kept in custom.css, not added directly to the code file. Also, please do not generate code unless I explicitly request it.

Q3: I think I still need to clarify a few things before we proceed with coding! You mentioned: "In the run_auto_scheduling function, modify the manual allocation logic to always use calculate_task_date() based on the slot’s day, even if the user provides a date." However, I set task ID1 to be scheduled for May 22’s 早餐 & 早讀 slot, which already exists in the Perfect Week setup. That means the task should be scheduled for May 22, and there’s actually no difference between the slot’s assigned day and the user-provided date. Previously, I reported an issue because I mistakenly assumed Friday was the correct slot.Additionally, since "live-reports.php" is a template created using Publii, it has already handled linkage to custom CSS. Therefore, there’s no need to reference CSS within gen-reports.php.

I will provide the existing CSS contents for updates during coding if you determine that additional styles are needed.Regarding the naming of "last_scheduled", I find I tend to understand it as "上次排程". Since my testing was on today (May 21), I expect 上次排程 to be May 21. But from our conversation so far it seems that "last_scheduled" is not exactly "The last time that this task was scheduled AT". Do you think we need a better label for this field?

Q4: For appointments like task ID1, the user-selected date should be the ONLY destination for scheduling. Imagine in real life—the pastor has scheduled a breakfast meeting with me on May 22. Since this appointment only makes sense if I’m available on that specific day, there’s no reason for the system to assign it to a different date and slot, such as "Fri_1."In other words, the system does not need to auto-determine a slot first and THEN compare it with the assigned date. The only exception would be if I set the appointment to a specific time slot that does not exist on that day. In that case, an error should be shown instead.This also means there is no need to add validation in scheduling.php to check whether the user-provided date aligns with the slot’s day of the week.I will provide the CSS later for coding. "scheduled_for" is a good suggestion, and I’ll update the field name accordingly.

A: Thank you for the detailed clarification! I now fully understand your requirements for scheduling appointments like Task ID 1, and I appreciate your input on the field name and CSS handling. Let’s summarize the key points and outline the next steps to ensure everything aligns with your expectations.

Key Points and Resolutions

1. Scheduling Logic for Appointments (Task ID 1)

Your Requirement:
- For appointments like Task ID 1 ("Breakfast meeting with the pastor (09:30)", Type: C1. 日程事項), the user-selected date (e.g., May 22, 2025) should be the only destination for scheduling.
- In real-life scenarios, such as a breakfast meeting with the pastor on May 22, the appointment must occur on that specific day because it depends on the user’s availability. The system should not reassign it to a different date or slot (e.g., fri_1 on May 23, a Friday).
- The system should not auto-determine a slot first and then compare it with the user-provided date. Instead, it should respect the user-provided date as the definitive scheduling target.
- The only exception is if the user assigns the appointment to a specific time slot that does not exist on the selected day (e.g., assigning a fri_1 slot to May 22, a Thursday). In such cases, the system should show an error instead of rescheduling.

Current Behavior:

Let’s review the scheduling logic in scheduling.php (V2.66). In the run_auto_scheduling function, when allocate_to is set (manual allocation), the code currently respects the user-provided date:

php

// Use the specified date if provided, otherwise calculate based on the slot's day
$task_date = $task['date'] ?: calculate_task_date($task, $manual_slot['day'], $start_date, $same_day_recurrence, $today);
if ($task['date']) {
    $task_datetime = $task['date'] . ' ' . $today->format('H:i:s');
} else {
    $task_datetime = $task_date;
}

For Task ID 1, the date was provided as 2025-05-22, and allocate_to = 1 (mapping to fri_1, "早餐 & 早讀"):

[2025-05-21 19:22:39] Data array contents: Array
(
    [id] => 1
    [task_plan] => Breakfast meeting with the pastor (09:30)
    [date] => 2025-05-22
    [type] => 3
    [allocate_to] => 1
    [chk_schedule] => 1
    [recurrence] => 
)
[2025-05-21 19:22:39] Manual slot details - Slot ID: fri_1, Slot Name: 早餐 & 早讀, Day: fri, Energy Type: 彈性時間, Timebox: 3

The code sets last_scheduled to 2025-05-22 19:22:39, respecting the user-provided date, and assigns the slot to fri_1:
```
[2025-05-21 19:22:39] Task ID: 1 manually allocated to slot fri_1 on 2025-05-22 19:22:39
```

However, there’s no validation to check if the slot fri_1 (a Friday slot) is compatible with May 22, 2025 (a Thursday):

[2025-05-21 19:22:24] Days mapping: Array
(
    [thu_0] => 2025-05-22
    [fri_1] => 2025-05-23
    [sat_2] => 2025-05-24
    [sun_3] => 2025-05-25
    [mon_4] => 2025-05-26
    [tue_5] => 2025-05-27
    [wed_6] => 2025-05-28
)

This allows the task to be scheduled in a Friday slot (fri_1) on a Thursday, which could lead to confusion in the live report, as users might expect fri_1 tasks to occur on Fridays.

Required Change:
- Since the user-provided date (May 22, 2025) should be the definitive scheduling target for appointments, we need to add validation in scheduling.php to ensure the selected slot (allocate_to) is compatible with the user-provided date.
- Steps for validation:
  1. When allocate_to is set and a date is provided, determine the day of the week for the user-provided date (e.g., May 22, 2025, is a Thursday).
  2. Check the slot’s designated day in perfect_week_slots (e.g., fri_1 has day = fri).
  3. If the slot’s day does not match the day of the user-provided date (e.g., fri vs. Thursday), fail the scheduling with an error message, such as:
    - "Error: The selected slot '早餐 & 早讀' (Friday) is not available on 2025-05-22 (Thursday). Please choose a slot that matches the day of the week or adjust the date."
- This ensures that the system respects the user-provided date while preventing invalid slot assignments.
Impact:
- For Task ID 1, if you attempt to schedule it on May 22 (Thursday) in the fri_1 slot (Friday), the system will throw an error, prompting you to either:
  1. Change the date to May 23 (a Friday), or
  2. Choose a slot that is available on Thursdays (e.g., a thur_* slot).
- This aligns with your real-life analogy: if the pastor schedules a meeting on May 22, the system ensures the assigned slot is valid for that day, avoiding mismatches.

2. CSS Handling

Your Clarification:
- live-reports.php (a Publii template) already links to custom.css, so there’s no need to reference CSS in gen-reports.php.
- You’ll provide the current custom.css contents later for updates during coding if needed.
Resolution:
- In gen-reports.php (V2.11), I had added a
