Overview

processScheduledCommands() claims the slot (last_run = NOW(), next_run advanced) and then loops over worker_ids; a worker that is not connected is simply skipped with no execution record, no log line and no UI signal. The Scheduler tab then shows a fresh Last run timestamp, which reads as "it ran fine".

The same applies when the worker id stored in worker_ids no longer exists (worker deleted and re-registered under a new id).

Where

server.js processScheduledCommands() – if (workerWs && readyState === OPEN) { … } with no else branch.

Suggested fix

Create a failed execution with a worker_offline log entry for each unreachable worker so it shows up in the Automated tab.
Track last_status / last_error on scheduled_commands and render it (✓ ran / ✗ worker offline) next to Last run.
Optionally notify via toast/webhook.

## Overview `processScheduledCommands()` claims the slot (`last_run = NOW()`, `next_run` advanced) and then loops over `worker_ids`; a worker that is not connected is simply skipped with no execution record, no log line and no UI signal.
