What's Wrong?

In a recent Claude Code update, two key features for managing local scheduled tasks were silently removed:

Scheduled tasks sidebar section — Previously visible in the Code tab sidebar, making it easy to see all tasks at a glance. It's now gone entirely.
"Run now" button — Previously allowed manually triggering a scheduled task on demand without waiting for the next scheduled run. This is no longer available.
Impact: Users can no longer see their scheduled tasks in the UI or trigger them manually. The only workarounds are waiting for the next scheduled run or hacking around it by setting a one-time fireAt timestamp via the assistant.

Request: Please restore both features, or at minimum provide a supported way to manually trigger a local scheduled task.
