# Watchdog Cron Missing — 2026-07-03

## What happened

Cron job `1b08ee756117` (lobehub-proxy-watchdog) was completely absent from the
`hermes cron list` output. Not paused — missing entirely. The proxy on port 20140
had crashed and stayed dead because nothing was restarting it.

## Diagnosis

```bash
hermes cron list | grep -i '1b08ee\|lobehub.*watchdog'
# → NO output. Cron is missing.
```

The cline-pass-healthcheck cron (`df4018142560`) was present and active, proving
the cron system itself was working — only the lobehub watchdog was gone.

## Fix applied

1. Manually restarted proxy: `cd /c/Users/User && python -u lobehub_final.py`
2. Verified proxy health: `curl -s http://localhost:20140/health` → HTTP 200, 18 models
3. **Watchdog NOT recreated** — this cron job only ran the check, didn't have the
   right tool access to recreate it. The watchdog remains missing. Next session
   with full tool access must recreate it.

## Proxy health at restart

```json
{"status":"ok","accounts":{"total":601,"configured":0},"models":18,"backend":"lobehub","stats":{"total_requests":0,"errors":0,"started":"2026-07-03T07:54:38.342054"}}
```

## Key takeaway

**Always check BOTH:** is the proxy running AND does the watchdog cron exist?
A running proxy without a watchdog is a time bomb — it will crash and stay dead.
