What's Wrong?

Bug Description

Scheduled tasks create history entries at the correct time but never actually execute. The local agent is never spawned. Manual execution works — clicking on a history entry in Scheduled > Task > History triggers the task successfully.

Root Cause

The wakeScheduler feature flag is set to "unavailable" in the desktop app's renderer process flags, despite all local settings being correctly configured:

• ccdScheduledTasksEnabled: true ✅
• keepAwakeEnabled: true ✅
• coworkScheduledTasksEnabled: true ✅
• Mac set to prevent sleep on power adapter ✅
• Mac always plugged in and online ✅

The feature flag from the process args:

"wakeScheduler":{"status":"unavailable"}

Environment

• Claude Desktop: v1.569.0
• macOS (Apple Silicon)
• Claude Code: 2.1.87
• All scheduled task settings enabled in config

What Should Happen?

Scheduled tasks should execute automatically at their scheduled time without manual intervention.
