* feat(agents): rename spawn_task tool to suggest_task
Models across vendors read the name spawn_task as 'starts background
work' and refuse to call it when the user has not asked to start
anything (Claude Sonnet 5, verbatim: 'spawn_task (which actively starts
background work)... Since you didn't ask me to start work, I'm flagging
this as a follow-up instead'). The tool only records a suggestion card,
so the name defeated the feature.
Rename the model-facing tool to suggest_task everywhere (catalog,
descriptors, presets, display config, OpenClawKit tool-display, docs)
and migrate persisted operator state via doctor: config tool policies
and cron SQLite toolsAllow entries that reference spawn_task are
rewritten to suggest_task. No runtime alias remains; runtime exposes
only the canonical name.
Live clean-room matrix on a dev gateway (virgin session per cell):
suggested-task-card phrasing now yields exactly one card on
anthropic/claude-sonnet-5, claude-haiku-4-5, openai/gpt-5.6-sol,
gpt-5.6-luna, and google/gemini-3.1-pro; pre-rename the same bait
produced prose-only follow-ups.
* chore(doctor): keep legacy tool-name predicate module-local
isLegacyTaskSuggestionToolName has no external consumers; the exported
form tripped the knip unused-export gate (deadcode:exports).
* fix(doctor): keep tool-name migration out of plugin-owned config
The rename migration traversed the whole raw config, so any object
carrying a toolsAllow key was rewritten - including opaque
plugins.entries.*.config, which core must not mutate. Scope the apply
pass to the typed core roots (tools, agents, channels, gateway) and pin
plugin config preservation in the test. Plugin-owned tool lists migrate
via the owning plugin's doctor contract instead.
* fix(ci): heal main deadcode and stale Swift protocol mirror
Unrelated main breakage blocking this PR's merge gate, healed here per
landing policy:
- #121653 left dead exports in src/skills/workshop: make
removeSkillCollectionDirectory and SkillCollectionRestoreResult
module-local; register collection-review.ts under the documented knip
ignoreIssues test-only-export convention (production runs it via the
scheduled maintenance loop).
- #121673 added ApprovalResolveParams.reviewer without regenerating the
Swift mirror; regenerate GatewayModels.swift (additive only).
* fix(ci): satisfy generic approval-runtime request signature in resolver test
Third main-heal carried by this PR: #121673 (9935ca3b30) left the
scoped-request mock's concrete inferred type unassignable to the generic
GatewayNativeApprovalRuntime request signature, breaking check-test-types
on main. Cast the mock at the runtime literal; assertions keep the Mock.
* chore(ci): drop approval-test cast superseded by main's typed mock rewrite
* chore(ci): drop duplicate knip entry superseded by main's heal
* fix(workers): persist placement terminal failures
* fix(workers): refresh placement protocol clients
* refactor(workers): isolate error formatting
* fix: integrate cloud terminal state with current main
* chore(plugin-sdk): refresh API baseline
* refactor(ui): inline one-use cloud terminal-reason banner helper
Keeps the Control UI startup JS bundle inside its 317 KiB gzip budget
(the helper + type-only import tipped it by 16 bytes).
* refactor(ui): trim terminal-reason lookup to type-erased optional access
Recovers the last gzip byte of the Control UI startup budget
(324609 B vs the 324608 B limit).
* feat(gateway): task-suggestion acceptance modes with compact split-button card
- taskSuggestions.accept gains additive mode (worktree default | local | cloud | session) + cloudProfileId; operator.admin unchanged; worktree requests stay {taskId}-only for older gateways
- local reuses the plain-cwd create; cloud mirrors the Control UI create-empty -> sessions.dispatch -> send sequence with pre-claim profile validation and full rollback; session delivers the prompt into the source session (steer single active run, plain turn when idle, ambiguous refused) and can only cancel the chip on failure, never touch the source session
- Control UI card redesigned per owner reference: repo-basename eyebrow, clamped summary, instructions expander, split button with per-profile cloud items or a disabled "No cloud environment configured" hint
- TUI gains the same modes as selector rows with capability gating and double-Enter arming
Release-note context: operators now choose where an accepted follow-up runs — isolated worktree (default), the project checkout, a configured cloud worker, or as the next instruction in the current session — from a compact suggestion card.
* fix(gateway): negotiate task-suggestion acceptance modes and enforce steerable-run invariant
- Gate non-worktree task-suggestion actions on the negotiated Gateway capability.
- Require exactly one steerable run ID before delivering into an active source session.
* feat(gateway): live desktop observer for cloud workers
Adds live observation for cloud worker desktops through the gateway and Crabbox plugin, including desktop provisioning, persisted desktop metadata, tunneled WebSocket proxying, and the worker.desktop.observe protocol method.
The gateway, Crabbox plugin, and gateway protocol surfaces remain off by default behind the cloudWorkers.desktop Labs flag.
* feat(ui): Desktop panel for cloud worker observation
* docs(gateway): document cloud worker desktop lab
* fix(ci): regenerate contract baselines after rebase

* fix(gateway): fence desktop observer upgrades behind work admission
* fix(gateway): bind desktop observer tokens to their owner epoch
* fix(ci): regenerate config and SDK baselines after rebase
* fix(ci): regenerate native protocol and SDK baselines
* fix(ci): regenerate contracts after main rebase
* fix(state): register desktop metadata as lazy additive
* fix(ci): regenerate SDK baseline after final direct-merge rebase
* feat(agents): record run-end worktree cleanup outcome
Persist removed, retained, and failed run-end cleanup outcomes on managed worktree records. Operators and QA can inspect the durable fact through worktrees.list and openclaw worktrees list --json.
Release note: Managed worktree run-end cleanup now records why a checkout was removed or retained in worktree list JSON.
* test(qa): prove dirty worktree retention outcome
* chore(protocol): regenerate swift gateway models
* fix(agents): harden worktree cleanup recovery
Register run_end_cleanup_json as a lazy compatible column so same-version v6 index repair and read-only doctor migration can recover databases created before the column existed.
Type removal contention at the registry boundary; unexpected claim failures now best-effort record a bounded failed outcome and rethrow the original error.
* fix(ci): clear repo-wide lint debt blocking merge gates
The red-main landing rule requires this PR to repair repository-wide merge-gate debt instead of bypassing it. Apply the current lint contracts mechanically and split turn-transition coverage into a concept-named sibling with per-file-safe test state.
Exact line delta: +676/-574 (net +102) across 44 test/support files.
* fix(ci): preserve cached health refresh proof
Require the public refresh call to exist before accepting that sensitive fields were omitted, so the boundary proof cannot pass on a missing call.
* fix(ci): correct test typing left by the lint sweep
Literal-widened totalTokensVersion fixtures, a WebSocket RawData overload
mismatch, and the protocol schema document cast broke check-test-types
after the repo-wide lint repair. Aligns the fixtures with SessionEntry,
narrows Buffer handling per RawData, and keeps the JSON-shaped undefined
omission under structuredClone.
* test(agents): reuse upstream resource-loader test support
The session-loop split and #120463's helper extraction landed the same
createResourceLoader/createCompactionHandlers twice; the rebase kept both,
orphaning main's agent-session-loop-resource-loader.test-support.ts and
failing the dead-code gate. Import the upstream helpers and delete the
duplicates.
* fix(agents): reject finalized rows at the worktree removal claim
Address the accepted ClawSweeper late-claim finding by rereading and rejecting missing or finalized worktree rows inside the synchronous removal-claim transaction.
Preserve the authoritative cleanup invariant: finalized contenders record nothing, while retained-busy is written only while the row remains live.
* refactor(agents): reuse registry update for busy outcomes
Keep the live-row conditional write in the canonical registry update path so the finalized-claim repair stays below the registry max-lines ratchet without weakening the authoritative-outcome invariant.
* test(agents): drop session test duplicates after rebase
Keep current main as the canonical owner of next-turn lifecycle coverage and correctness test support after replaying the older lint-debt split.
* fix(agents): guard post-abort cleanup outcomes against finalization
After abortWorktreeRemoval releases a stale remover's claim, its retained or
failed write raced a finalizing remover and could overwrite the authoritative
removed-lossless fact. Route every retained/failed write through the live-row
condition; only the finalizing remover's own removed-lossless write stays
unconditional.
* fix(agents): persist the removal outcome atomically with finalization
A delayed removed-lossless write after remove() finalized could race a
restore plus newer cleanup and overwrite the newer operator-visible fact.
The run-end outcome now rides remove()'s finalization update; every other
cleanup write stays live-row conditional, so no post-finalize write path
remains.
* test(qa): restore strict cached-health contract assertions
The lint sweep's Boolean() coercions let truthy non-booleans satisfy the
wire-typed cached-meta contract. Assert the literal boolean for unknown-typed
fields and use nullish-coalesced strict equivalents for boolean chains.
* fix(agents): clear the stale cleanup outcome when restoring a worktree
A restored checkout begins a new lifecycle; leaving the removed-lossless
fact on the live row showed operators a stale result until the next
cleanup. Restore clears the recorded outcome and the regression asserts
the cleared state before the next cleanup records fresh truth.
* fix(agents): scope stale cleanup outcomes to their observed lifecycle
A stale remover's retained/failed write raced a concurrent remove-plus-
restore: the revived row is live again, so the live-row condition alone
could stamp a prior-lifecycle outcome. Condition those writes on the
activity stamp the remover observed; restore bumps lastActiveAt, making
any prior-lifecycle write a no-op.
* fix(agents): advance the restore activity stamp within one millisecond
Stale cleanup writes fence on the activity stamp they observed; a restore
completing in the same millisecond could revive the row with an identical
stamp and let the fence match. Restore now always advances past the
stored value, and the ABA regression pins the clock to prove the
same-millisecond case.
