When reasoningLevel is 'on', reasoning content was being sent as a
visible message to WhatsApp and other non-Telegram channels via two
paths:
1. Block reply: emitted via onBlockReply in handleMessageEnd
2. Final payloads: added to replyItems in buildEmbeddedRunPayloads
Telegram has its own dispatch path (bot-message-dispatch.ts) that
splits reasoning into a dedicated lane and handles suppression.
The generic dispatch-from-config.ts path used by WhatsApp, web, etc.
had no such filtering.
Fix:
- Add isReasoning?: boolean flag to ReplyPayload
- Tag reasoning payloads at both emission points
- Filter isReasoning payloads in dispatch-from-config.ts for both
block reply and final reply paths
Telegram is unaffected: it uses its own deliver callback that detects
reasoning via the 'Reasoning:\n' prefix and routes to a separate lane.

* Agents: add subagent orchestration controls
* Agents: add subagent orchestration controls (WIP uncommitted changes)
* feat(subagents): add depth-based spawn gating for sub-sub-agents
* feat(subagents): tool policy, registry, and announce chain for nested agents
* feat(subagents): system prompt, docs, changelog for nested sub-agents
* fix(subagents): prevent model fallback override, show model during active runs, and block context overflow fallback
Bug 1: When a session has an explicit model override (e.g., gpt/openai-codex),
the fallback candidate logic in resolveFallbackCandidates silently appended the
global primary model (opus) as a backstop. On reinjection/steer with a transient
error, the session could fall back to opus which has a smaller context window
and crash. Fix: when storedModelOverride is set, pass fallbacksOverride ?? []
instead of undefined, preventing the implicit primary backstop.
Bug 2: Active subagents showed 'model n/a' in /subagents list because
resolveModelDisplay only read entry.model/modelProvider (populated after run
completes). Fix: fall back to modelOverride/providerOverride fields which are
populated at spawn time via sessions.patch.
Bug 3: Context overflow errors (prompt too long, context_length_exceeded) could
theoretically escape runEmbeddedPiAgent and be treated as failover candidates
in runWithModelFallback, causing a switch to a model with a smaller context
window. Fix: in runWithModelFallback, detect context overflow errors via
isLikelyContextOverflowError and rethrow them immediately instead of trying the
next model candidate.

* Fix compaction status tracking and dedupe overflow compaction triggers
* fix(subagents): enforce depth block via session store and implement cascade kill
* fix: inject group chat context into system prompt
* fix(subagents): always write model to session store at spawn time
* Preserve spawnDepth when agent handler rewrites session entry
* fix(subagents): suppress announce on steer-restart
* fix(subagents): fallback spawned session model to runtime default
* fix(subagents): enforce spawn depth when caller key resolves by sessionId
* feat(subagents): implement active-first ordering for numeric targets and enhance task display
- Added a test to verify that subagents with numeric targets follow an active-first list ordering.
- Updated `resolveSubagentTarget` to sort subagent runs based on active status and recent activity.
- Enhanced task display in command responses to prevent truncation of long task descriptions.
- Introduced new utility functions for compacting task text and managing subagent run states.
* fix(subagents): show model for active runs via run record fallback
When the spawned model matches the agent's default model, the session
store's override fields are intentionally cleared (isDefault: true).
The model/modelProvider fields are only populated after the run
completes. This left active subagents showing 'model n/a'.
Fix: store the resolved model on SubagentRunRecord at registration
time, and use it as a fallback in both display paths (subagents tool
and /subagents command) when the session store entry has no model info.
Changes:
- SubagentRunRecord: add optional model field
- registerSubagentRun: accept and persist model param
- sessions-spawn-tool: pass resolvedModel to registerSubagentRun
- subagents-tool: pass run record model as fallback to resolveModelDisplay
- commands-subagents: pass run record model as fallback to resolveModelDisplay
* feat(chat): implement session key resolution and reset on sidebar navigation
- Added functions to resolve the main session key and reset chat state when switching sessions from the sidebar.
- Updated the `renderTab` function to handle session key changes when navigating to the chat tab.
- Introduced a test to verify that the session resets to "main" when opening chat from the sidebar navigation.
* fix: subagent timeout=0 passthrough and fallback prompt duplication
Bug 1: runTimeoutSeconds=0 now means 'no timeout' instead of applying 600s default
- sessions-spawn-tool: default to undefined (not 0) when neither timeout param
is provided; use != null check so explicit 0 passes through to gateway
- agent.ts: accept 0 as valid timeout (resolveAgentTimeoutMs already handles
0 → MAX_SAFE_TIMEOUT_MS)
Bug 2: model fallback no longer re-injects the original prompt as a duplicate
- agent.ts: track fallback attempt index; on retries use a short continuation
message instead of the full original prompt since the session file already
contains it from the first attempt
- Also skip re-sending images on fallback retries (already in session)
* feat(subagents): truncate long task descriptions in subagents command output
- Introduced a new utility function to format task previews, limiting their length to improve readability.
- Updated the command handler to use the new formatting function, ensuring task descriptions are truncated appropriately.
- Adjusted related tests to verify that long task descriptions are now truncated in the output.
* refactor(subagents): update subagent registry path resolution and improve command output formatting
- Replaced direct import of STATE_DIR with a utility function to resolve the state directory dynamically.
- Enhanced the formatting of command output for active and recent subagents, adding separators for better readability.
- Updated related tests to reflect changes in command output structure.
* fix(subagent): default sessions_spawn to no timeout when runTimeoutSeconds omitted
The previous fix (75a791106) correctly handled the case where
runTimeoutSeconds was explicitly set to 0 ("no timeout"). However,
when models omit the parameter entirely (which is common since the
schema marks it as optional), runTimeoutSeconds resolved to undefined.
undefined flowed through the chain as:
sessions_spawn → timeout: undefined (since undefined != null is false)
→ gateway agent handler → agentCommand opts.timeout: undefined
→ resolveAgentTimeoutMs({ overrideSeconds: undefined })
→ DEFAULT_AGENT_TIMEOUT_SECONDS (600s = 10 minutes)
This caused subagents to be killed at exactly 10 minutes even though
the user's intent (via TOOLS.md) was for subagents to run without a
timeout.
Fix: default runTimeoutSeconds to 0 (no timeout) when neither
runTimeoutSeconds nor timeoutSeconds is provided by the caller.
Subagent spawns are long-running by design and should not inherit the
600s agent-command default timeout.
* fix(subagent): accept timeout=0 in agent-via-gateway path (second 600s default)
* fix: thread timeout override through getReplyFromConfig dispatch path
getReplyFromConfig called resolveAgentTimeoutMs({ cfg }) with no override,
always falling back to the config default (600s). Add timeoutOverrideSeconds
to GetReplyOptions and pass it through as overrideSeconds so callers of the
dispatch chain can specify a custom timeout (0 = no timeout).
This complements the existing timeout threading in agentCommand and the
cron isolated-agent runner, which already pass overrideSeconds correctly.
* feat(model-fallback): normalize OpenAI Codex model references and enhance fallback handling
- Added normalization for OpenAI Codex model references, specifically converting "gpt-5.3-codex" to "openai-codex" before execution.
- Updated the `resolveFallbackCandidates` function to utilize the new normalization logic.
- Enhanced tests to verify the correct behavior of model normalization and fallback mechanisms.
- Introduced a new test case to ensure that the normalization process works as expected for various input formats.
* feat(tests): add unit tests for steer failure behavior in openclaw-tools
- Introduced a new test file to validate the behavior of subagents when steer replacement dispatch fails.
- Implemented tests to ensure that the announce behavior is restored correctly and that the suppression reason is cleared as expected.
- Enhanced the subagent registry with a new function to clear steer restart suppression.
- Updated related components to support the new test scenarios.
* fix(subagents): replace stop command with kill in slash commands and documentation
- Updated the `/subagents` command to replace `stop` with `kill` for consistency in controlling sub-agent runs.
- Modified related documentation to reflect the change in command usage.
- Removed legacy timeoutSeconds references from the sessions-spawn-tool schema and tests to streamline timeout handling.
- Enhanced tests to ensure correct behavior of the updated commands and their interactions.
* feat(tests): add unit tests for readLatestAssistantReply function
- Introduced a new test file for the `readLatestAssistantReply` function to validate its behavior with various message scenarios.
- Implemented tests to ensure the function correctly retrieves the latest assistant message and handles cases where the latest message has no text.
- Mocked the gateway call to simulate different message histories for comprehensive testing.
* feat(tests): enhance subagent kill-all cascade tests and announce formatting
- Added a new test to verify that the `kill-all` command cascades through ended parents to active descendants in subagents.
- Updated the subagent announce formatting tests to reflect changes in message structure, including the replacement of "Findings:" with "Result:" and the addition of new expectations for message content.
- Improved the handling of long findings and stats in the announce formatting logic to ensure concise output.
- Refactored related functions to enhance clarity and maintainability in the subagent registry and tools.
* refactor(subagent): update announce formatting and remove unused constants
- Modified the subagent announce formatting to replace "Findings:" with "Result:" and adjusted related expectations in tests.
- Removed constants for maximum announce findings characters and summary words, simplifying the announcement logic.
- Updated the handling of findings to retain full content instead of truncating, ensuring more informative outputs.
- Cleaned up unused imports in the commands-subagents file to enhance code clarity.
* feat(tests): enhance billing error handling in user-facing text
- Added tests to ensure that normal text mentioning billing plans is not rewritten, preserving user context.
- Updated the `isBillingErrorMessage` and `sanitizeUserFacingText` functions to improve handling of billing-related messages.
- Introduced new test cases for various scenarios involving billing messages to ensure accurate processing and output.
- Enhanced the subagent announce flow to correctly manage active descendant runs, preventing premature announcements.
* feat(subagent): enhance workflow guidance and auto-announcement clarity
- Added a new guideline in the subagent system prompt to emphasize trust in push-based completion, discouraging busy polling for status updates.
- Updated documentation to clarify that sub-agents will automatically announce their results, improving user understanding of the workflow.
- Enhanced tests to verify the new guidance on avoiding polling loops and to ensure the accuracy of the updated prompts.
* fix(cron): avoid announcing interim subagent spawn acks
* chore: clean post-rebase imports
* fix(cron): fall back to child replies when parent stays interim
* fix(subagents): make active-run guidance advisory
* fix(subagents): update announce flow to handle active descendants and enhance test coverage
- Modified the announce flow to defer announcements when active descendant runs are present, ensuring accurate status reporting.
- Updated tests to verify the new behavior, including scenarios where no fallback requester is available and ensuring proper handling of finished subagents.
- Enhanced the announce formatting to include an `expectFinal` flag for better clarity in the announcement process.

- Updated the announce flow to provide clearer instructions for user updates based on active subagent runs and requester context.
- Refactored the announcement logic to improve clarity and ensure internal context remains private.
- Enhanced tests to verify the new message expectations and formatting, including updated prompts for user-facing updates.
- Introduced a new function to build reply instructions based on session context, improving the overall announcement process.

* feat(bluebubbles): auto-strip markdown from outbound messages (#7402)
* fix(security): add timeout to webhook body reading (#6762)
Adds 30-second timeout to readBody() in voice-call, bluebubbles, and nostr
webhook handlers. Prevents Slow-Loris DoS (CWE-400, CVSS 7.5).
Merged with existing maxBytes protection in voice-call.
* fix(security): unify Error objects and lint fixes in webhook timeouts (#6762)
* fix: prevent plugins from auto-enabling without user consent (#3961)
Changes default plugin enabled state from true to false in enablePluginEntry().
Preserves existing enabled:true values. Fixes#3932.
* fix: apply hierarchical mediaMaxMb config to all channels (#8749)
Generalizes resolveAttachmentMaxBytes() to use account → channel → global
config resolution for all channels, not just BlueBubbles. Fixes#7847.
* fix(bluebubbles): sanitize attachment filenames against header injection (#10333)
Strip ", \r, \n, and \\ from filenames after path.basename() to prevent
multipart Content-Disposition header injection (CWE-93, CVSS 5.4).
Also adds sanitization to setGroupIconBlueBubbles which had zero filename
sanitization.
* fix(lint): exclude extensions/ from Oxlint preflight check (#9313)
Extensions use PluginRuntime|null patterns that trigger
no-redundant-type-constituents because PluginRuntime resolves to any.
Excluding extensions/ from Oxlint unblocks user upgrades.
Re-applies the approach from closed PR #10087.
* fix(bluebubbles): add tempGuid to createNewChatWithMessage payload (#7745)
Non-Private-API mode (AppleScript) requires tempGuid in send payloads.
The main sendMessageBlueBubbles already had it, but createNewChatWithMessage
was missing it, causing 400 errors for new chat creation without Private API.
* fix: send stop-typing signal when run ends with NO_REPLY (#8785)
Adds onCleanup callback to the typing controller that fires when the
controller is cleaned up while typing was active (e.g., after NO_REPLY).
Channels using createTypingCallbacks automatically get stop-typing on
cleanup. This prevents the typing indicator from lingering in group chats
when the agent decides not to reply.
* fix(telegram): deduplicate skill commands in multi-agent setup (#5717)
Two fixes:
1. Skip duplicate workspace dirs when listing skill commands across agents.
Multiple agents sharing the same workspace would produce duplicate commands
with _2, _3 suffixes.
2. Clear stale commands via deleteMyCommands before registering new ones.
Commands from deleted skills now get cleaned up on restart.
* fix: add size limits to unbounded in-memory caches (#4948)
Adds max-size caps with oldest-entry eviction to prevent OOM in
long-running deployments:
- BlueBubbles serverInfoCache: 64 entries (already has TTL)
- Google Chat authCache: 32 entries
- Matrix directRoomCache: 1024 entries
- Discord presenceCache: 5000 entries per account
* fix: address review concerns (#11093)
- Chain deleteMyCommands → setMyCommands to prevent race condition (#5717)
- Rename enablePluginEntry to registerPluginEntry (now sets enabled: false)
- Add Slow-Loris timeout test for readJsonBody (#6023)
Adds support for template variables in `messages.responsePrefix` that
resolve dynamically at runtime with the actual model used (including
after fallback).
Supported variables (case-insensitive):
- {model} - short model name (e.g., "claude-opus-4-5", "gpt-4o")
- {modelFull} - full model identifier (e.g., "anthropic/claude-opus-4-5")
- {provider} - provider name (e.g., "anthropic", "openai")
- {thinkingLevel} or {think} - thinking level ("high", "low", "off")
- {identity.name} or {identityName} - agent identity name
Example: "[{model} | think:{thinkingLevel}]" → "[claude-opus-4-5 | think:high]"
Variables show the actual model used after fallback, not the intended
model. Unresolved variables remain as literal text.
Implementation:
- New module: src/auto-reply/reply/response-prefix-template.ts
- Template interpolation in normalize-reply.ts via context provider
- onModelSelected callback in agent-runner-execution.ts
- Updated all 6 provider message handlers (web, signal, discord,
telegram, slack, imessage)
- 27 unit tests covering all variables and edge cases
- Documentation in docs/gateway/configuration.md and JSDoc
Fixes#923
- Add shared hasRepliedRef state between auto-reply and tool paths
- Extract buildSlackThreadingContext helper in agent-runner.ts
- Extract resolveThreadTsFromContext helper in slack-actions.ts
- Update docs with clear replyToMode table (off/first/all)
- Add tests for first mode behavior across multiple messages
- Add audioAsVoice option to ReplyPayload type
- Update bot.ts to use sendVoice by default for audio (voice bubble)
- When audioAsVoice is false, use sendAudio (file with metadata)
This allows agents to control voice vs file mode via ReplyPayload.
