hermes - 💡(How to fix) Fix TUI /cron list output loses visual spacing between scheduled jobs [1 pull requests]

Summary

In the interactive TUI, /cron list displays multiple scheduled jobs with little or no visible spacing between them, making the list hard to scan when there are several jobs.

The same underlying cron list output appears to include blank lines between jobs, but those blank lines are not visually preserved in the TUI pager overlay.

Steps to reproduce

1. Create more than one cron job.
2. Start Hermes in the interactive TUI.
3. Run:

/cron list

Actual behavior

Scheduled jobs are rendered very densely. The blank line separation between job blocks is effectively lost in the TUI/pager display, so fields from adjacent jobs appear visually crowded.

Expected behavior

Each scheduled job should be clearly separated, for example by one of:

• preserving blank lines in the TUI pager,
• rendering empty lines as visible vertical space,
• adding a non-empty divider line between job blocks, or
• using a compact table/card layout for scheduled jobs.

Notes from local investigation

This looks like a TUI rendering issue rather than a cron data issue.

The CLI-side /cron list formatting prints a blank line after each job block. In the TUI path, long slash-command output is paged, and the pager renders lines individually. Empty lines appear to collapse or disappear visually, so the intended spacing is not preserved.

Likely relevant areas:

• cli.py — /cron list output prints a blank line between jobs.
• ui-tui/src/app/createSlashHandler.ts — long slash-command output enters the pager path.
• ui-tui/src/components/appOverlays.tsx — pager maps each line into a <Text> node; empty-string lines do not create obvious vertical spacing.

A minimal fix might be to render empty pager lines as a single space, e.g. line || " ", or to add an explicit divider in the cron list output.

Environment

• Hermes Agent: v0.14.0 (2026.5.16)
• OS: macOS 26.4.1
• Context: interactive TUI, /cron list
