Add chore expiry notification system with scheduling and tests

- Implemented `trigger_chore_expiry.py` script to manually trigger chore expiry notifications for users via the admin API.
- Developed `chore_expiry_notification_scheduler.py` to handle the logic for sending notifications for chores expiring within the next 75 minutes.
- Created utility functions in `schedule_utils.py` to determine scheduling and deadlines for chores.
- Added comprehensive tests for the chore expiry notification system in `test_chore_expiry_notification_scheduler.py`, covering various scenarios including scheduled chores, confirmations, and user settings.

+# Feature: Push notification for chores that are going to expire in the next hour.
+
+## Overview
+
+When a scheduled chore is going to expire within the next hour and it has not be marked completed or pending, a push notification should go out to tell the user that the scheduled chore needs to be finished soon.
+
+**Goal:** When a chore is about to expire (within the hour) send a push notification to the user and allow the user to acknowlege it.
+
+**User Story:**
+As a parent, I should receive a notification when a scheduled chore is going to expire soon. When I click on the notification, I should be brought to the page with the chore.
+
+**Rules:**
+
+1. If there are multiple chores that are going to expire, present them in the push notification as well.
+2. The notification should show which child the chore belongs to.
+3. If a chore is scheduled to expire between 9:00pm to 9:15pm, the notification for it should go out at 8:00pm. That should give the earlier hour expiration plenty of notice.
+
+**Questions:**
+
+1. If there are multiple chores in the push, should we say there are multiple chores ending next hour or should we list each by name?
+2. Should we section the notification if there are multiple children? [ex. Child1 chores: ... Child2 chores: ...]
+3. Should we reuse one of the other hourly schedulers or create a new one? should we refactor and have one hourly scheduler that does multiple operations?
+
+---
+
+## Data Model Changes
+
+### Backend Model
+
+No new models required. The feature reuses existing models:
+
+- `ChoreSchedule` — provides schedule mode, day configs, deadline times, and enabled state
+- `PendingConfirmation` — queried to determine if a chore is already pending or approved (either status means the child has acted on it; no notification is needed)
+
+### Frontend Model
+
+No changes to TypeScript interfaces.
+
+---
+
+## Backend Implementation
+
+**`backend/utils/schedule_utils.py`** (new)
+
+A Python port of the three core functions from `frontend/vue-app/src/common/scheduleUtils.ts`. The frontend is the authoritative source for schedule math; this file mirrors that logic server-side so the scheduler can determine which chores are active and when they expire without making HTTP calls or duplicating logic ad-hoc.
+
+- `interval_hits_today(anchor_date, interval_days, local_date)` — returns True if an interval-mode schedule fires on the given local date
+- `is_scheduled_today(schedule_dict, local_date)` — returns True for days-mode (weekday match) or interval-mode (anchor + interval math); paused schedules always return True
+- `get_due_time_today(schedule_dict, local_date)` — returns `(hour, minute)` or `None` (None means Anytime or paused — no expiry)
+
+Note on weekday convention: the app uses JS/Python convention where Sunday = 0 and Saturday = 6 (same as `DayConfig.day`). Python's `date.weekday()` returns Monday = 0, so a conversion of `(weekday + 1) % 7` is applied when comparing.
+
+**`backend/utils/chore_expiry_notification_scheduler.py`** (new)
+
+- `get_expiring_chores_for_user(user_id, tz_str, now_dt)` — loads all children for the user, iterates their chore tasks, checks for an active schedule with a deadline falling in `(now, now + 75 min]`, and excludes any chore that already has a `PendingConfirmation` record (any status). Returns a list of dicts with child and task metadata.
+- `_build_push_payload(expiring)` — constructs the push payload. Single chore: title names the chore and deep-link fields are set for direct navigation. Multiple chores: generic title, `child_id` and `entity_id` are null, and the body lists chores grouped by child name (e.g. `Alex: Clean Room, Make Bed\nSam: Trash`).
+- `send_chore_expiry_notifications_for_user(user_id, tz_str)` — calls `get_expiring_chores_for_user`, builds the payload, and calls `send_push_to_user`.
+- `run_chore_expiry_check(app)` — skips the e2e environment, loops all verified users, skips users with `push_notifications_enabled=False`, and calls `send_chore_expiry_notifications_for_user` for each eligible user.
+- `start_chore_expiry_notification_scheduler(app)` — registers an APScheduler `cron` job at `minute=0` (top of every hour), consistent with the existing schedulers.
+
+**Push payload type:** `chore_expiring_soon`. The absence of `approve_token` and `deny_token` fields is intentional and is what triggers the service worker to suppress action buttons.
+
+**`backend/main.py`** (modified)
+
+Import added and `start_chore_expiry_notification_scheduler(app)` called after the existing schedulers.
+

+
+---
+
+## Frontend Implementation
+
+**`frontend/vue-app/public/sw.js`** (modified)
+
+In the `push` event handler, the `actions` array passed to `showNotification` is now conditionally set: when `payload.type === 'chore_expiring_soon'` the array is empty (no buttons); otherwise Approve and Deny buttons are shown as before. The `notificationclick` handler requires no changes — tapping the notification body already navigates to `/parent/{child_id}?scrollTo={entity_id}` when those fields are present, and falls back to `/parent` when they are null (multi-chore case).
+
+## Frontend Tests
+
+No automated tests added. The `sw.js` change is a simple conditional and is covered by manual verification: triggering a `chore_expiring_soon` push and confirming no action buttons appear in the browser notification, and that tapping opens the correct URL.
+
+---
+
+## Future Considerations
+
+- **75-minute window double-notification**: A chore deadline that falls in the overlap of two consecutive 75-minute windows (e.g. 9:10 pm appears in both the 8:00 pm run's window and the 9:00 pm run's window) will produce two notifications. This is a known and accepted trade-off; no deduplication is applied. A future improvement could track notified chores per day in a lightweight DB table to prevent repeats.
+- **Task extensions**: `TaskExtension` sets an `extension_date` that allows a chore to carry over to another day. Extended chores are treated identically to regular scheduled chores — the schedule deadline time is used as-is. A future enhancement could optionally adjust the deadline time for extended chores.
+
+---
+
+## Acceptance Criteria (Definition of Done)
+
+### Backend
+
+- [x] `backend/utils/schedule_utils.py` created — Python port of schedule math from `scheduleUtils.ts`
+- [x] `backend/utils/chore_expiry_notification_scheduler.py` created — hourly scheduler with 75-min look-ahead window
+- [x] Chores with `Anytime` schedule (no deadline) are not notified
+- [x] Chores with a `pending` or `approved` confirmation are not notified
+- [x] Chores on paused schedules are not notified
+- [x] Users with `push_notifications_enabled=False` are skipped
+- [x] Unverified users are skipped
+- [x] e2e environment is skipped
+- [x] Scheduler registered in `backend/main.py`
+- [x] All backend tests pass
+
+### Frontend
+
+- [x] `sw.js` updated — `chore_expiring_soon` notifications show no Approve/Deny action buttons
+- [x] Tapping a single-chore notification navigates to the child's chore page
+- [x] Tapping a multi-chore notification navigates to `/parent`

+"""
+Hourly scheduler that sends push notifications to parents when their children's
+scheduled chores are going to expire within the next 75 minutes and haven't been
+marked completed or submitted for confirmation yet.
+
+Window rationale (75 min):
+  The spec requires that chores expiring between 9:00 pm and 9:15 pm both
+  generate a notification at 8:00 pm.  A 75-minute look-ahead window
+  (now < deadline <= now + 75 min) satisfies this for the hourly cron run at
+  the top of each hour.
+
+Double-notification note:
+  A chore deadline that falls within the overlap of two consecutive 75-minute
+  windows (e.g. 9:10 pm appears in both the 8:00 pm and 9:00 pm windows) may
+  produce two push notifications.  No deduplication is applied; this is
+  intentional per the product decision made during spec review.
