[DOCS] Scheduled tasks docs missing transcript timestamp markers for `/loop`/`CronCreate` firings

Documentation Type

Missing documentation (feature not documented)

Documentation Location

https://code.claude.com/docs/en/scheduled-tasks

Section/Topic

Schedule a recurring prompt with /loop and How scheduled tasks run, with a matching note in the transcript viewer docs

Current Documentation

The scheduled-tasks page currently says:

The /loop bundled skill is the quickest way to schedule a recurring prompt. Pass an optional interval and a prompt, and Claude sets up a cron job that fires in the background while the session stays open.

And later:

The scheduler checks every second for due tasks and enqueues them at low priority. A scheduled prompt fires between your turns, not while Claude is mid-response. If Claude is busy when a task comes due, the prompt waits until the current turn ends.

The interactive-mode page currently says:

| Ctrl+O | Toggle verbose output | Shows detailed tool usage and execution. Also expands MCP read and search calls, which collapse to a single line like "Queried slack" by default |

And:

When the transcript viewer is open (toggled with Ctrl+O), these shortcuts are available.

Neither page explains that transcript output now includes timestamp markers when scheduled tasks fire.

What's Wrong or Missing?

Changelog v2.1.85 added timestamp markers in transcripts when scheduled tasks (/loop, CronCreate) fire, but the docs do not describe this behavior anywhere.

Users currently cannot learn from the docs:

A. That scheduled-task runs insert a visible timestamp marker in the transcript

The scheduled-tasks docs explain when jobs are due and how they are delayed, but not how those firings appear in the transcript.

B. That this applies to both /loop prompts and tasks created through CronCreate

The current docs describe /loop and the cron tools, but they do not say that both kinds of scheduled tasks now leave the same transcript marker when they trigger.

C. Where to look for this when reviewing a session

The interactive-mode docs cover the transcript viewer generically, but do not mention scheduled-task timestamp markers as part of the visible execution history.

Suggested Improvement

Add a short note to https://code.claude.com/docs/en/scheduled-tasks explaining that when a scheduled prompt fires, Claude Code inserts a timestamp marker in the transcript so users can see exactly when the run started.

That note should clarify that the marker applies to both /loop and direct CronCreate scheduling.

Also add a brief cross-reference to https://code.claude.com/docs/en/interactive-mode noting that transcript/verbose view can show scheduler fire markers alongside other execution details.

For example:

When a scheduled task fires, Claude Code inserts a timestamp marker in the transcript so you can correlate the actual run time with the task's schedule and any jitter or wait-for-idle delay.

Impact

Low - Minor confusion or inconvenience

Additional Context

Affected Pages:

| Page | Context |
|------|---------|
| https://code.claude.com/docs/en/scheduled-tasks | Primary /loop and CronCreate documentation; should explain that task firings now insert transcript timestamp markers |
| https://code.claude.com/docs/en/interactive-mode | Transcript viewer / verbose-output documentation; should mention that scheduled-task markers appear there |
