Restores the narrower internal-channel guard from PR #22223 (fe57bea08) that was
inadvertently reverted by f555835b0.
The original !isDeliverableMessageChannel() check strips the requester's channel
whenever it is not in the registered deliverable set. This causes delivery
failures for plugin channels whose adapter ID differs from their plugin ID (e.g.
"gmail" vs "openclaw-gmail"): the requester origin is discarded and the announce
falls back to stale session routes — typically WhatsApp — resulting in a timeout
followed by an E.164 format error.
Replacing with isInternalMessageChannel() limits stripping to explicitly internal
channels (webchat), preserving the requester origin for all external channels
regardless of whether they are currently in the deliverable list.

* fix(gateway): avoid premature agent.wait completion on transient errors
* fix(agent): preemptively guard tool results against context overflow
* fix: harden tool-result context guard and add message_id metadata
* fix: use importOriginal in session-key mock to include DEFAULT_ACCOUNT_ID
The run.skill-filter test was mocking ../../routing/session-key.js with only
buildAgentMainSessionKey and normalizeAgentId, but the module also exports
DEFAULT_ACCOUNT_ID which is required transitively by src/web/auth-store.ts.
Switch to importOriginal pattern so all real exports are preserved alongside
the mocked functions.
* pi-runner: guard accumulated tool-result overflow in transformContext
* PI runner: compact overflowing tool-result context
* Subagent: harden tool-result context recovery
* Enhance tool-result context handling by adding support for legacy tool outputs and improving character estimation for message truncation. This includes a new function to create legacy tool results and updates to existing functions to better manage context overflow scenarios.
* Enhance iMessage handling by adding reply tag support in send functions and tests. This includes modifications to prepend or rewrite reply tags based on provided replyToId, ensuring proper message formatting for replies.
* Enhance message delivery across multiple channels by implementing sticky reply context for chunked messages. This includes preserving reply references in Discord, Telegram, and iMessage, ensuring that follow-up messages maintain their intended reply targets. Additionally, improve handling of reply tags in system prompts and tests to support consistent reply behavior.
* Enhance read tool functionality by implementing auto-paging across chunks when no explicit limit is provided, scaling output budget based on model context window. Additionally, add tests for adaptive reading behavior and capped continuation guidance for large outputs. Update related functions to support these features.
* Refine tool-result context management by stripping oversized read-tool details payloads during compaction, ensuring repeated read calls do not bypass context limits. Introduce new utility functions for handling truncation content and enhance character estimation for tool results. Add tests to validate the removal of excessive details in context overflow scenarios.
* Refine message delivery logic in Matrix and Telegram by introducing a flag to track if a text chunk was sent. This ensures that replies are only marked as delivered when a text chunk has been successfully sent, improving the accuracy of reply handling in both channels.
* fix: tighten reply threading coverage and prep fixes (#19508) (thanks @tyler6204)
When a depth-2 subagent (Birdie) completes and its parent (Newton) is a
depth-1 subagent, the announce should go to Newton, not bypass to the
grandparent (Jaris).
Previously, isSubagentSessionRunActive(Newton) returned false because
Newton's agent turn completed after spawning Birdie. This triggered the
fallback to grandparent even though Newton's SESSION was still alive and
waiting for child results.
Now we only fallback to grandparent if the parent SESSION is actually
deleted (no sessionId in session store). If the parent session exists,
we inject into it even if the current run has ended — this starts a new
agent turn to process the child result.
Fixes#18037
Test Plan:
- Added regression test: routes to parent when run ended but session alive
- Added regression test: falls back to grandparent only when session deleted

* 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.

* fix: prefer requesterOrigin over stale session entry in subagent announce routing
When a subagent finishes and announces results back, resolveAnnounceOrigin
merged the session entry (primary) with requesterOrigin (fallback). If the
session store had a stale lastChannel (e.g. whatsapp) from a previous
interaction but the user was now on a different channel (e.g. bluebubbles),
the announce would route to the wrong channel.
Swap the merge order so requesterOrigin (captured at spawn time, reflecting
the actual current channel) takes priority, with the session entry as
fallback for any missing fields.
Error before fix:
Delivery failed (whatsapp to bluebubbles:chat_guid:...): Unknown channel: whatsapp
Adds regression test for the stale-channel scenario.
* fix: match test to exact failure scenario and improve reliability (#4957) (thanks @tyler6204)
- Remove lastTo from stale session store to match the exact mismatch scenario described in the PR
