fix(cron): clarify no-delivery previews

CHANGELOG.md

@@ -37,6 +37,7 @@ Docs: https://docs.openclaw.ai
 - Channels/streaming: expose `streaming.progress.label`, `labels`, `maxLines`, and `toolProgress` in bundled channel config metadata so progress draft settings appear in config, docs, and control surfaces. Thanks @vincentkoc.
 - Channels/streaming: normalize whitespace and case for `streaming.progress.label: "auto"` so progress draft labels keep using the built-in label pool instead of rendering a literal `auto` title. Thanks @vincentkoc.
 - Gateway/install: prefer supported system Node over nvm/fnm/volta/asdf/mise when regenerating managed gateway services, so `gateway install --force` no longer recreates service definitions that doctor immediately flags as version-manager-backed. Fixes #76339. Thanks @brokemac79.
+- Cron/status: render explicit `delivery.mode: "none"` jobs as no-delivery previews and label cron session history distinctly instead of showing fallback delivery or direct-session rows. Fixes #76945.
 - Gateway/usage: serve `usage.cost` and `sessions.usage` from a durable transcript aggregate cache with lock-safe background refreshes and localized stale-cache status, so large usage views avoid repeated full scans. (#76650) Thanks @Marvinthebored.
 - Plugins/hooks: let `plugins.entries.<id>.hooks.timeoutMs` and `plugins.entries.<id>.hooks.timeouts` bound plugin typed hooks from operator config, so slow hooks can be tuned without patching installed plugin code. Fixes #76778. Thanks @vincentkoc.
 - Telegram: add `channels.telegram.mediaGroupFlushMs` at the top level and per account so operators can tune album buffering instead of being stuck with the hard-coded 500ms media-group flush window. Fixes #76149. Thanks @vincentkoc.
