* Fix subagent spawn test config loading
* Gateway: preserve operator scopes without device identity
* Emit user message transcript events and deduplicate plugin warnings
* feat: emit sessions.changed lifecycle event on subagent spawn
Adds a session-lifecycle-events module (similar to transcript-events)
that emits create events when subagents are spawned. The gateway
server.impl.ts listens for these events and broadcasts sessions.changed
with reason=create to SSE subscribers, so dashboards can pick up new
subagent sessions without polling.
* Gateway: allow persistent dashboard orchestrator sessions
* fix: preserve operator scopes for token-authenticated backend clients
Backend clients (like agent-dashboard) that authenticate with a valid gateway
token but don't present a device identity were getting their scopes stripped.
The scope-clearing logic ran before checking the device identity decision,
so even when evaluateMissingDeviceIdentity returned 'allow' (because
roleCanSkipDeviceIdentity passed for token-authed operators), scopes were
already cleared.
Fix: also check decision.kind before clearing scopes, so token-authenticated
operators keep their requested scopes.
* Gateway: allow operator-token session kills
* Fix stale active subagent status after follow-up runs
* Fix dashboard image attachments in sessions send
* Fix completed session follow-up status updates
* feat: stream session tool events to operator UIs
* Add sessions.steer gateway coverage
* Persist subagent timing in session store
* Fix subagent session transcript event keys
* Fix active subagent session status in gateway

* fix: publish terminal session lifecycle state
* feat: change default session reset to effectively never
- Change DEFAULT_RESET_MODE from "daily" to "idle"
- Change DEFAULT_IDLE_MINUTES from 60 to 0 (0 = disabled/never)
- Allow idleMinutes=0 through normalization (don't clamp to 1)
- Treat idleMinutes=0 as "no idle expiry" in evaluateSessionFreshness
- Default behavior: mode "idle" + idleMinutes 0 = sessions never auto-reset
- Update test assertion for new default mode
* fix: prep session management followups (#50101) (thanks @clay-datacurve)

* fix(bluebubbles): auto-create chats for new numbers, persist outbound messages to session transcripts
Two fixes for BlueBubbles message tool behavior:
1. **Attachment sends to new phone numbers**: sendBlueBubblesAttachment now
auto-creates a new DM chat (via /api/v1/chat/new) when no existing chat
is found for a handle target, matching the behavior already present in
sendMessageBlueBubbles for text sends. The existing createNewChatWithMessage
is refactored into a reusable createChatForHandle that returns the chatGuid.
2. **Outbound message session persistence**: Ensures outbound messages sent
via the message tool are reliably tracked in session transcripts:
- ensureOutboundSessionEntry now falls back to directly creating a session
store entry when recordSessionMetaFromInbound returns null, guaranteeing
a sessionId exists for the subsequent mirror append.
- appendAssistantMessageToSessionTranscript now normalizes the session key
(lowercased) when looking up the store, preventing case mismatches
between the store keys and the mirror sessionKey.
Tests added for all changes.
* test(slack): verify outbound session tracking and new target sends for Slack
The shared infrastructure changes from the BlueBubbles fix (session key
normalization in transcript.ts and fallback session entry creation in
outbound-session.ts) already cover Slack. Slack's sendMessageSlack uses
conversations.open to auto-create DM channels for new user targets.
Add tests confirming:
- Slack user DM and channel session route resolution (outbound.test.ts)
- Slack session key normalization for transcript append (sessions.test.ts)
- Slack outbound sendText/sendMedia to new user and channel targets (channel.test.ts)
* fix(cron): skip stale delayed deliveries
* fix: prep PR #50092
* fix: prune stale session entries, cap entry count, and rotate sessions.json
The sessions.json file grows unbounded over time. Every heartbeat tick (default: 30m)
triggers multiple full rewrites, and session keys from groups, threads, and DMs
accumulate indefinitely with large embedded objects (skillsSnapshot,
systemPromptReport). At >50MB the synchronous JSON parse blocks the event loop,
causing Telegram webhook timeouts and effectively taking the bot down.
Three mitigations, all running inside saveSessionStoreUnlocked() on every write:
1. Prune stale entries: remove entries with updatedAt older than 30 days
(configurable via session.maintenance.pruneDays in openclaw.json)
2. Cap entry count: keep only the 500 most recently updated entries
(configurable via session.maintenance.maxEntries). Entries without updatedAt
are evicted first.
3. File rotation: if the existing sessions.json exceeds 10MB before a write,
rename it to sessions.json.bak.{timestamp} and keep only the 3 most recent
backups (configurable via session.maintenance.rotateBytes).
All three thresholds are configurable under session.maintenance in openclaw.json
with Zod validation. No env vars.
Existing tests updated to use Date.now() instead of epoch-relative timestamps
(1, 2, 3) that would be incorrectly pruned as stale.
27 new tests covering pruning, capping, rotation, and integration scenarios.
* feat: auto-prune expired cron run sessions (#12289)
Add TTL-based reaper for isolated cron run sessions that accumulate
indefinitely in sessions.json.
New config option:
cron.sessionRetention: string | false (default: '24h')
The reaper runs piggy-backed on the cron timer tick, self-throttled
to sweep at most every 5 minutes. It removes session entries matching
the pattern cron:<jobId>:run:<uuid> whose updatedAt + retention < now.
Design follows the Kubernetes ttlSecondsAfterFinished pattern:
- Sessions are persisted normally (observability/debugging)
- A periodic reaper prunes expired entries
- Configurable retention with sensible default
- Set to false to disable pruning entirely
Files changed:
- src/config/types.cron.ts: Add sessionRetention to CronConfig
- src/config/zod-schema.ts: Add Zod validation for sessionRetention
- src/cron/session-reaper.ts: New reaper module (sweepCronRunSessions)
- src/cron/session-reaper.test.ts: 12 tests covering all paths
- src/cron/service/state.ts: Add cronConfig/sessionStorePath to deps
- src/cron/service/timer.ts: Wire reaper into onTimer tick
- src/gateway/server-cron.ts: Pass config and session store path to deps
