 - Agents/compaction: skip the post-compaction `cache-ttl` marker write when a compaction completed in the same attempt, preventing the next turn from immediately triggering a second tiny compaction. (#28548) thanks @MoerAI.
 - Native chat/macOS: add `/new`, `/reset`, and `/clear` reset triggers, keep shared main-session aliases aligned, and ignore stale model-selection completions so native chat state stays in sync across reset and fast model changes. (#10898) Thanks @Nachx639.
 - Agents/compaction safeguard: route missing-model and missing-API-key cancellation warnings through the shared subsystem logger so they land in structured and file logs. (#9974) Thanks @dinakars777.
+- Cron/doctor: stop flagging canonical `agentTurn` and `systemEvent` payload kinds as legacy cron storage, while still normalizing whitespace-padded and non-canonical variants. (#44012) Thanks @shuicici.
