Environment
- Claude Code desktop app on Windows 11 Pro (10.0.26200)
- Local scheduled tasks (~/.claude/scheduled-tasks/), not cloud routines
Bug
Scheduled tasks with enabled: false are not shown in the desktop app's Routines list at all. Only enabled tasks appear.
Why this is a problem
- The docs (code.claude.com/docs/en/desktop-scheduled-tasks) describe opening a task from the Routines list and toggling Status between Active and Paused - which implies paused tasks should remain visible. There is no documented setting to show them.
- A paused routine becomes effectively invisible: the user cannot see it exists, cannot resume it from the UI, and cannot review its configuration.
- Real-world consequence: while hunting for a "missing" paused routine, the user inadvertently triggered a manual enrichment run of it (manual runs still work on paused tasks). Visibility would have prevented this.
Expected
Paused tasks stay listed (greyed out or labelled Paused), or a "show paused" filter exists.
Workaround currently in use
Setting the task to enabled with an impossible cron date (0 9 31 2 *) so it is visible but never fires.
