 ### Fixes
 
-- Cron: retry recurring wake-now main-session jobs through temporary heartbeat busy skips before recording success, so queued cron events no longer appear as ok ghost runs while the main lane is still busy. Fixes #75964.
+- Cron: retry recurring wake-now main-session jobs through temporary heartbeat busy skips before recording success, so queued cron events no longer appear as ok ghost runs while the main lane is still busy. Fixes #75964. Thanks @kshetrajna12 and @xuruiray.
 - Control UI: contain the standalone iOS PWA viewport with safe-area-aware document locking, so Add-to-Home-Screen launches cannot scroll past the device bounds. Refs #76072. Thanks @kvncrw.
 - Agents/restart recovery: match cleaned transcript locks by exact transcript lock paths plus the canonical session fallback, so interrupted main sessions using topic-suffixed transcripts resume after gateway restart. Refs #76052. Thanks @anyech.
 - Agents/runtime: cache the stable system-prompt prefix and reuse prompt-report tool schema stats during dispatch prep, reducing repeated CPU work before streaming starts. Fixes #75999; supersedes #76061. Thanks @zackchiutw and @STLI69.
