Problem

When a recipe has no prompt field, the scheduler:

  • Creates a session in the database schedule_id
  • Skips agent execution (logs warning in the background)
  • Returns "success" with empty session
  • Sessions with 0 messages don't appear in UI
  • Users have no visibility that their schedule failed

Solution

When executing a scheduled recipe, if the recipe has no prompt field but has an instructions field, use the instructions content directly as the prompt text for agent execution.
