openclaw - 💡(How to fix) Fix [Bug]: Cron job badge shows incorrect 'hidden' notification count in Web Control UI

Bug: Cron job badge shows "hidden" notification count that doesn't match visible jobs

OpenClaw Version: 2026.5.7 OS: Windows 11 Channel: Web Control UI (dashboard)

Summary

The cron job badge in the Web Control UI top-right corner persistently shows a notification number that doesn't match the visible job count. When hovering the badge, the tooltip says "hidden" — indicating the count includes jobs that aren't visible in the list.

Environment

• OpenClaw Version: 2026.5.7
• OS: Windows 11
• Channel: webchat (Control UI)
• Install method: npm

Steps to reproduce

1. Open Web Control UI at http://127.0.0.1:18789/
2. Look at the cron job count badge in the top-right corner
3. Observe the number displayed
4. Compare to the actual number of visible jobs in the Cron Jobs list
5. Hover the badge — tooltip says "hidden"

Expected behavior

Badge should display the number of visible cron jobs matching the current filter.

Actual behavior

Badge shows a higher number than the visible list. The difference appears to be accounted for by disabled jobs that exist but aren't shown in the default filtered view.

Additional context

• This matches the bug described in Issue #51382, which was closed as "not planned" with the claim that current main doesn't have the path.
• However, this is reproducible on 2026.5.7 (current npm release)
• Community RCA from @Hollychou924 traced the root cause: when cronJobsEnabledFilter === 'all' (default), the API request sends includeDisabled: true, so the total returned includes disabled jobs. The badge cronJobsTotal is derived from this total, but the visible list only shows enabled jobs — creating a mismatch.
• openclaw cron list shows the accurate count

Workaround

Use openclaw cron list for accurate count. The badge number is unreliable.
