Display bug: CronList qualifiers stripped in the UI

When a ScheduleWakeup (or otherwise one-shot cron) is active, the underlying API returns:

42f64518 — Every day at 3:03 PM (one-shot) [session-only]: /ci

…but the Claude Code terminal renders only:

42f64518 Every day at 3:03 PM

That's misleading — without the (one-shot) and [session-only] markers, the entry reads like a recurring daily cron when it's actually a single-fire wakeup that auto-disables. The prompt (/ci) is also dropped.

Asking the assistant for clarification works around it (the assistant can still call CronList and read the raw output), but the surface-level display invites confusion.

Suggested fix: include the qualifiers and prompt in the rendered output, e.g.:

42f64518   one-shot · session-only · 2026-05-05 15:03 UTC   /ci

Feature request: a UI panel for cron / wakeup / loop entries

Background tasks today have two visibility tiers:

  • Visible: Monitors and Bash shells — there's a panel showing what's running.
  • Invisible: ScheduleWakeup / cron / /loop entries — only discoverable by asking the assistant to call CronList.

Once a session has more than one or two of these queued (long-running CI polls, /loop dynamic-mode tasks), it becomes hard to tell what will fire when. A small panel listing active cron/wakeup/loop entries — with the next fire time, qualifier (one-shot vs recurring · session-only vs durable), and prompt — would solve both this issue and the display bug above in one go.

Thanks!

extent analysis

TL;DR

Modify the CronList rendering in the Claude Code terminal to include qualifiers and prompts for accurate display of one-shot and session-only cron entries.

Guidance

  • Review the current implementation of CronList in the Claude Code terminal to identify where the qualifiers and prompts are being stripped.
  • Update the rendering logic to include the (one-shot) and [session-only] markers, as well as the prompt (/ci), in the displayed output.
  • Consider implementing a UI panel for cron, wakeup, and loop entries to provide better visibility into background tasks, as suggested in the feature request.
  • Verify that the updated rendering correctly displays one-shot and session-only cron entries with their respective qualifiers and prompts.

Example

No code snippet is provided as the issue does not include specific implementation details.

Notes

The suggested fix assumes that the underlying API returns the necessary information, and the issue lies in the rendering of the data in the Claude Code terminal.

Recommendation

Apply workaround: Update the CronList rendering to include qualifiers and prompts, as this addresses the immediate display bug and provides a more accurate representation of one-shot and session-only cron entries.
