Desktop: Scheduled task sessions don't appear under 'Scheduled' section in sidebar

Bug description

When a local scheduled task fires in Claude Code Desktop, the documentation states:

"When a task fires, you get a desktop notification and a new session appears under a Scheduled section in the sidebar."

Neither the desktop notification nor the "Scheduled" section in the sidebar appears. The task runs correctly (visible in Routines → history), but the resulting session is invisible in the main sidebar.

Expected behavior

  • A desktop notification fires when the task runs
  • A new session appears under a "Scheduled" section in the sidebar
  • The session is interactive and persists (not tied to a terminal process)

Actual behavior

  • No desktop notification
  • No "Scheduled" section in the sidebar
  • Sessions created by scheduled tasks only appear in Routines → history
  • The only way to access them is to navigate to Routines and manually click "Duplicate"
  • Sessions created via claude --continue --fork-session from a terminal disappear when the terminal closes

Workaround attempted

  • RemoteTrigger { action: "run" } — creates a cloud session but doesn't appear in the local Desktop sidebar
  • claude --continue --fork-session via Start-Process pwsh — session appears briefly but disappears when the terminal closes
  • PushNotification — only works if Remote Control is connected

Environment

  • Platform: Windows 11 Pro
  • Claude Code Desktop (latest)
  • Scheduled task created via mcp__scheduled-tasks__create_scheduled_task

Impact

Scheduled tasks are not usable as daily interactive workflows because their sessions are not discoverable without navigating to Routines. The intended UX (session appearing in sidebar) is broken.
