title: rec: silently no-ops on malformed input status: closed labels: [bug] created: 2026-09-18 closed:

generateRecurringTask discards the error from strconv.Atoi (actions.go around lines 152 and 155):

amount, _ = strconv.Atoi(recStr[:len(recStr)-1])

A task with something like rec:abc ends up with amount 0 and unit d, so completing it silently generates a "next" task with an unchanged due date instead of failing. Same story for any non-numeric amount.

Fix: validate the recurrence string and return a real error instead of generating a bogus task.
