Tasks Due Next Week

1. open Tasks: Open the named Tasks app to inspect and sort its due dates.
2. tap “Sort”: Open sorting to order tasks by due date before counting October 16–22.
3. tap “Sorting: Smart sort”: Open the sorting method to choose By due date.
4. tap “By due date”: The sort options sheet is open, and By due date is the requested sorting choice. The earlier Smart sort tap opened this sheet despite the stagnation notice.
5. pressBack: Sorting now reads By due date, so dismiss the sort sheet to inspect the ascending task list.
6. scroll down: Move half a page through the due-date-sorted list, overlapping the Today boundary and next week's rows.
7. scroll down: Continue overlapping the sorted list past the overdue rows toward Today and October 16–22.
8. swipe up: The list is at overdue entries through Today; swipe the task list upward to reveal next week's rows, rather than anchoring on the partially visible Read 'The Martian' row.
9. scroll up: Scroll back in overlapping half-page increments to identify all next-week rows before Fri and Sat, including the Today boundary.
10. scroll down: Today is at the bottom of this view; scroll half a page down to reveal the next-week tasks while overlapping the boundary.
11. open Tasks: The prior swipe exited to the launcher; reopen Tasks to finish counting the due-date-sorted list.
12. scroll down: Continue the sorted list below Today to count all tasks due October 16–22, with overlap.
13. open Tasks: The previous list scroll exited to the launcher, so reopen Tasks to count the due-date-sorted rows.
14. swipe: Scroll within the task list from Today toward the following week's due dates, avoiding the bottom system gesture area.
15. swipe: Swipe upward inside the list to reveal rows after Today, while avoiding the system navigation bar.
16. swipe: Move the sorted list a shorter distance past the Today row to reveal October 16–22 tasks without triggering system navigation.
17. scroll down: The visible sorted rows end at Today; seek October 16–22 beneath it with an overlapping half-page list scroll.
18. open Tasks: The previous scroll unexpectedly returned to the launcher; reopen Tasks to inspect the sorted due-date list.
19. swipe: Move farther down the due-date-sorted list from the Today boundary to the following week's tasks.
20. scroll up: The visible rows are all crossed-out completed tasks ending at Today; return to the top of the sorted list to locate the active tasks and next-week dates.
21. waitFor: A loading spinner overlays the list after scrolling to top; wait for it to settle before moving down to next-week rows.
22. swipe: Scroll the due-date-sorted list past Today in a controlled gesture to reveal next week's tasks, preserving overlap.
23. waitFor: A spinner is visible over the task list; wait for it to settle before continuing the overlapping count.
24. swipe: Continue through the due-date-sorted list in an overlapping increment to count the remaining October 16–22 rows.
25. scroll down: Six active rows from Tmrw through Oct 22 are visible; inspect following rows and the completed section before finalizing the full-list count.
26. swipe: Continue past Oct 22 into the completed section to check the whole due-date-sorted list for any additional next-week tasks.
27. tap “Call Grandma completed task”: The completed Wednesday task has an ambiguous weekday label; open it to read its full due date before counting.
28. pressBack: Return from the completed task detail; October 7 is outside October 16–22, so it does not count.
29. tap “DISCARD”: Exit the opened task detail without saving any accidental edits, returning to the sorted list.
30. swipe: Continue through completed tasks below the six active October 16–22 rows, checking whether any completed tasks also fall next week.
31. tap “Water Plants completed task”: The completed Water Plants row has a blue Monday due label, which could be October 16; open it to read its full date before counting.
32. pressBack:
33. tap “DISCARD”: Dismiss the unsaved task detail to resume inspecting the sorted list; Water Plants is October 5, not next week.
34. swipe: Inspect the remaining completed-task rows after the active Oct 22 row so the entire sorted list is checked before reporting the count.
35. scroll up: The completed-task section ends at Today, with no later completed due dates. Return to the active October 16–22 cluster to report the six counted tasks from a view showing its boundaries.
36. swipe: Move the list enough to frame both Today boundary and all six next-week rows fully for the requested answer.
37. swipe: Six next-week rows and the Today boundary are visible, but the immediately following completed row is cut off; shift the list slightly to fully frame the adjacent rows before reporting.
38. report “6”: The due-date-sorted list shows six fully visible tasks from Tmrw (October 16) through Oct 22, bounded above by Today and below by a completed Wednesday task previously confirmed due October 7. The rest of the list was checked earlier; no other next-week tasks were found.

Verdict: The reported value of 6 is consistent with the five uncompleted tasks shown for next week plus the completed Wednesday task. The after state shows no bulk completion or application error.
