## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is the open source control plane people use to manage AI
agents for work.
> - This change touches the board UI surfaces for issue run timelines
and routine schedule editing.
> - Operators need cancelled runs to distinguish ordinary cancellation
from human interruption, otherwise the run history reads as more severe
than it is.
> - Routine schedule editing also needs to preserve user-entered cron
values while rendering common schedules in a stable, understandable
editor.
> - This pull request keeps the editor state tied to explicit schedule
values, adds coverage for routine editable sections, and makes
interrupted run copy more precise.
> - The benefit is less surprising routine editing and clearer issue run
history for operators.

- Refs #1803, which is another open schedule editor UI improvement.
Problem description:
Routine trigger schedules can be edited through the board UI, but the
previous schedule editor path could normalize or reset cron state in
ways that made unsaved edits fragile. Issue run history also labeled
operator-interrupted cancelled runs like ordinary cancellations.
Reviewers should treat this PR as a combined UI stabilization pass for
those two visible operator workflows.
## What Changed
- Added a more stable routine schedule editor flow that preserves
explicit cron values and handles custom/common schedule transitions.
- Wired routine editable-section state so schedule drafts do not get
overwritten by unrelated section refreshes.
- Added tests for schedule editor behavior, routine editable sections,
and routine service schedule preservation.
- Updated issue run timeline copy so operator-interrupted cancelled runs
display as interrupted, while ordinary cancelled runs remain cancelled.
- Kept the classic issue thread run label behavior aligned with the
current issue thread surface.
## Verification
- `NODE_ENV=development pnpm run preflight:workspace-links &&
NODE_ENV=development pnpm exec vitest run
server/src/__tests__/routines-service.test.ts
ui/src/components/IssueChatThread.test.tsx
ui/src/components/ScheduleEditor.test.tsx
ui/src/components/routine-sections/editable-sections.test.tsx` — 103
tests passed.
Note: direct `pnpm exec vitest ...` without `NODE_ENV=development`
loaded a React build where `React.act` is undefined in this workspace.
The same targeted tests pass under the development React build.
## Risks
Low to medium risk. The changes are UI-focused but touch routine
schedule editing, which is a high-frequency operator workflow. The main
risk is that an uncommon cron expression could render as custom when a
user expected a preset; the added tests cover preservation and explicit
custom handling.

## Model Used
OpenAI Codex, GPT-5-class coding agent. Exact hosted runtime model ID
and context window were not exposed in this session. Tool use and local
command execution were used for inspection, verification, GitHub PR
creation, and Paperclip issue updates.
