What I did (steps followed exactly as you specified):

  1. Acquired the run lock

    • node .../lock.mjs acquire
    • Acquired lock successfully.

  2. Reclaimed stale in-progress items

    • node .../reclaim-stale-inprogress.mjs
    • No stale inProgress items reclaimed.

  3. Fetched unprocessed "Ready for work" items

    • node .../get-unprocessed-ready.mjs
    • unprocessedReadyIssues returned two items; I took only the first:

  4. Marked the chosen issue In Progress (local + GitHub Project)

    • node .../mark-in-progress.mjs I_kwDORJcijc7o6ouY --project-item PVTI_lAHOBOINss4BNnfFzgk-uoM
    • Project item status set to "inProgress".

  5. Fetched full issue details

    • gh issue view 19 --repo elite-flacco/openclaw-dashboard --json body,assignees,labels,comments
    • Body: "allow users to view payload in modal"
    • No assignees, no labels, no comments.

  6. Ensured repo exists and prepared workdir

    • Workdir = /home/ubuntu/projects/openclaw-dashboard (already present).
    • Default branch = main
    • Created branch: viper/openclaw-dashboard/issue-19-show-cron-payload (git checkout -b viper/openclaw-dashboard/issue-19-show-cron-payload)

Decision and action taken

  • The issue's description is short but could use clarification about exact UI expectations (where the modal should appear, exact fields/format, copy/collapse behavior). Implementing UI work without clear requirements risks doing the wrong thing.
  • Per your robustness rules: when requirements are unclear, mark the issue Blocked and message snake for clarification. I followed that rule.

So: 7. Marked the issue Blocked (local + Project)

  • node .../mark-blocke…

A new session was started via /new or /reset. Say hi briefly (1-2 sentences) and ask what the user wants to do next. If the runtime model differs from default_model in the system prompt, mention the default model in the greeting. Do not mention internal steps, files, tools, or reasoning. [message_id: e8d4728b-07a3-40e0-bb58-60e4c17f53e5] assistant: Hey snake — I’m back. What do you want to do next: add requirements to issues #18 and/or #19 so I can unblock them and implement, or should I pick a different “Ready for work” issue? user: why are there 2 cron sessions still running from 5h ago [message_id: c6281cab-fa35-42b7-af53-af686fa0d137] assistant: They’re almost certainly not actually “running”—they’re cron-run sessions that finished and are just still present in the session list for audit/history.

From the session list on my side, I see three cron sessions in that time window:

  • agent:main:cron:3d5548cc-... (updated ~5h ago) — finished with a “Done — published X Following recap…” message.
  • agent:main:cron:eb4d4c14-... (updated ~5h ago) — finished with a “Done — published AI news digest…” message.
  • agent:main:cron:206f6ddf-... (updated more recently) — finished with the GitHub-project-watcher run summary.

Also: there is no long-running background process corresponding to those cron runs right now (only one separate background coding process is currently running on the host).

Why they still show up:

  • OpenClaw persists sessions (including cron/isolated agentTurns) and doesn’t immediately prune them after completion.
  • Some UIs label them as “running” if they’re “recent” or “active within X minutes,” even though the run is complete.

If you tell me where you’re seeing “still running” (dashboard page + maybe a screenshot), I can confirm whether it’s just a UI labeling bug vs. a genuinely stuck run.
