+**Reminder scheduling:** For any task with `due_date` and `due_time` set, up to three notifications are sent automatically (delivered by email and/or push per the user's `email_notifications`/`push_notifications` settings):
+- `reminder` - before due, at `reminder_at` if set on the task, otherwise `default_reminder_minutes` before the due moment
+- `due_soon` - exactly at the due moment
+- `overdue` - one hour after the due moment (kept separate from `due_soon` so they don't arrive together)
+
+A task with `due_date` but no `due_time` only gets the `overdue` notification, fired at the start of the day after `due_date` (matching `is_overdue`'s day-after rule). Changing `default_reminder_minutes` retroactively reschedules the `reminder` notification on existing active tasks that don't have their own `reminder_at` override; it does not affect tasks whose `reminder_at` was explicitly set.
