 - TUI/Hooks: pass explicit reset reason (`new` vs `reset`) through `sessions.reset` and emit internal command hooks for gateway-triggered resets so `/new` hook workflows fire in TUI/webchat.
 - Cron: prevent `cron list`/`cron status` from silently skipping past-due recurring jobs by using maintenance recompute semantics. (#16156) Thanks @zerone0x.
 - Cron: repair missing/corrupt `nextRunAtMs` for the updated job without globally recomputing unrelated due jobs during `cron update`. (#15750)
+- Cron: skip missed-job replay on startup for jobs interrupted mid-run (stale `runningAtMs` markers), preventing restart loops for self-restarting jobs such as update tasks. (#16694) Thanks @sbmilburn.
 - Discord: prefer gateway guild id when logging inbound messages so cached-miss guilds do not appear as `guild=dm`. Thanks @thewilloftheshadow.
 - Discord: treat empty per-guild `channels: {}` config maps as no channel allowlist (not deny-all), so `groupPolicy: "open"` guilds without explicit channel entries continue to receive messages. (#16714) Thanks @xqliu.
 - Models/CLI: guard `models status` string trimming paths to prevent crashes from malformed non-string config values. (#16395) Thanks @BinHPdev.
