Branch: codex/wip/2026-02-09/compact-post-compaction-parentid-fix
Problem
- Post-compaction turns sometimes lost the compaction summary + kept suffix in the *next* provider request.
- Root cause was session graph corruption: gateway appended "stopReason: injected" transcript lines via raw JSONL writes without `parentId`.
- Pi's `SessionManager.buildSessionContext()` walks the `parentId` chain from the current leaf; missing `parentId` can sever the active branch and hide the compaction entry.
Fix
- Use `SessionManager.appendMessage(...)` for injected assistant transcript writes so `parentId` is set to the current leaf.
- Route `chat.inject` through the same helper to avoid duplicating the broken raw JSONL append logic.
Why This Matters
- The compaction algorithm may be correct, but if the leaf chain is broken right after compaction, the provider payload cannot include the summary/suffix "shape" Pi expects.
Testing
- pnpm test src/agents/pi-embedded-helpers.post-compaction-shape.test.ts src/agents/pi-embedded-runner/run.overflow-compaction.post-context.test.ts
- pnpm build
Notes
- This is provider-shape agnostic: it fixes transcript structure so Anthropic/Gemini/etc all see the same post-compaction context.
Resume
- If post-compaction looks wrong again, inspect the session transcript for entries missing `parentId` immediately after `type: compaction`.
* Gateway: guardrail test for transcript parentId (chat.inject)
* Gateway: guardrail against raw transcript appends (chat.ts)
* Gateway: add local AGENTS.md note to preserve Pi transcript parentId chain
* Changelog: note gateway post-compaction amnesia fix
* Gateway: store injected transcript messages with valid stopReason
* Gateway: use valid stopReason in injected fallback
* initial commit
* feat: implement deriveSessionTotalTokens function and update usage tests
* Added deriveSessionTotalTokens function to calculate total tokens based on usage and context tokens.
* Updated usage tests to include cases for derived session total tokens.
* Refactored session usage calculations in multiple files to utilize the new function for improved accuracy.
* fix: restore overflow truncation fallback + changelog/test hardening (#11551) (thanks @tyler6204)
* refactor: update cron job wake mode and run mode handling
- Changed default wake mode from 'next-heartbeat' to 'now' in CronJobEditor and related CLI commands.
- Updated cron-tool tests to reflect changes in run mode, introducing 'due' and 'force' options.
- Enhanced cron-tool logic to handle new run modes and ensure compatibility with existing job structures.
- Added new tests for delivery plan consistency and job execution behavior under various conditions.
- Improved normalization functions to handle wake mode and session target casing.
This refactor aims to streamline cron job configurations and enhance the overall user experience with clearer defaults and improved functionality.
* test: enhance cron job functionality and UI
- Added tests to ensure the isolated agent correctly announces the final payload text when delivering messages via Telegram.
- Implemented a new function to pick the last deliverable payload from a list of delivery payloads.
- Enhanced the cron service to maintain legacy "every" jobs while minute cron jobs recompute schedules.
- Updated the cron store migration tests to verify the addition of anchorMs to legacy every schedules.
- Improved the UI for displaying cron job details, including job state and delivery information, with new styles and layout adjustments.
These changes aim to improve the reliability and user experience of the cron job system.
* test: enhance sessions thinking level handling
- Added tests to verify that the correct thinking levels are applied during session spawning.
- Updated the sessions-spawn-tool to include a new parameter for overriding thinking levels.
- Enhanced the UI to support additional thinking levels, including "xhigh" and "full", and improved the handling of current options in dropdowns.
These changes aim to improve the flexibility and accuracy of thinking level configurations in session management.
* feat: enhance session management and cron job functionality
- Introduced passthrough arguments in the test-parallel script to allow for flexible command-line options.
- Updated session handling to hide cron run alias session keys from the sessions list, improving clarity.
- Enhanced the cron service to accurately record job start times and durations, ensuring better tracking of job execution.
- Added tests to verify the correct behavior of the cron service under various conditions, including zero-delay timers.
These changes aim to improve the usability and reliability of session and cron job management.
* feat: implement job running state checks in cron service
- Added functionality to prevent manual job runs if a job is already in progress, enhancing job management.
- Updated the `isJobDue` function to include checks for running jobs, ensuring accurate scheduling.
- Enhanced the `run` function to return a specific reason when a job is already running.
- Introduced a new test case to verify the behavior of forced manual runs during active job execution.
These changes aim to improve the reliability and clarity of cron job execution and management.
* feat: add session ID and key to CronRunLogEntry model
- Introduced `sessionid` and `sessionkey` properties to the `CronRunLogEntry` struct for enhanced tracking of session-related information.
- Updated the initializer and Codable conformance to accommodate the new properties, ensuring proper serialization and deserialization.
These changes aim to improve the granularity of logging and session management within the cron job system.
* fix: improve session display name resolution
- Updated the `resolveSessionDisplayName` function to ensure that both label and displayName are trimmed and default to an empty string if not present.
- Enhanced the logic to prevent returning the key if it matches the label or displayName, improving clarity in session naming.
These changes aim to enhance the accuracy and usability of session display names in the UI.
* perf: skip cron store persist when idle timer tick produces no changes
recomputeNextRuns now returns a boolean indicating whether any job
state was mutated. The idle path in onTimer only persists when the
return value is true, eliminating unnecessary file writes every 60s
for far-future or idle schedules.
* fix: prep for merge - explicit delivery mode migration, docs + changelog (#10776) (thanks @tyler6204)
* security: add skill/plugin code safety scanner module
* security: integrate skill scanner into security audit
* security: add pre-install code safety scan for plugins
* style: fix curly brace lint errors in skill-scanner.ts
* docs: add changelog entry for skill code safety scanner
* security: redact credentials from config.get gateway responses
The config.get gateway method returned the full config snapshot
including channel credentials (Discord tokens, Slack botToken/appToken,
Telegram botToken, Feishu appSecret, etc.), model provider API keys,
and gateway auth tokens in plaintext.
Any WebSocket client—including the unauthenticated Control UI when
dangerouslyDisableDeviceAuth is set—could read every secret.
This adds redactConfigSnapshot() which:
- Deep-walks the config object and masks any field whose key matches
token, password, secret, or apiKey patterns
- Uses the existing redactSensitiveText() to scrub the raw JSON5 source
- Preserves the hash for change detection
- Includes 15 test cases covering all channel types
* security: make gateway config writes return redacted values
* test: disable control UI by default in gateway server tests
* fix: redact credentials in gateway config APIs (#9858) (thanks @abdelsfane)

Fixes#7667
Task 1: Fix cron operation timeouts
- Increase default gateway tool timeout from 10s to 30s
- Increase cron-specific tool timeout to 60s
- Increase CLI default timeout from 10s to 30s
- Prevents timeouts when gateway is busy with long-running jobs
Task 2: Add timestamp validation
- New validateScheduleTimestamp() function in validate-timestamp.ts
- Rejects atMs timestamps more than 1 minute in the past
- Rejects atMs timestamps more than 10 years in the future
- Applied to both cron.add and cron.update operations
- Provides helpful error messages with current time and offset
Task 3: Enable file sync for manual edits
- Track file modification time (storeFileMtimeMs) in CronServiceState
- Check file mtime in ensureLoaded() and reload if changed
- Recompute next runs after reload to maintain accuracy
- Update mtime after persist() to prevent reload loop
- Dashboard now picks up manual edits to ~/.openclaw/cron/jobs.json
Small model testing showed the label did not meaningfully help:
- Sub-3B models fail regardless of format
- 8B models untested with label specifically
- Frontier models never needed it
The bracket convention [Wed 2026-01-28 22:30 EST] matches existing
channel envelope format and is widely present in training data.
Saves ~2-3 tokens per message vs the labeled version.
Changes [Wed 2026-01-28 20:30 EST] to [Current Date: Wed 2026-01-28 20:30 EST].
Tested with qwen3-1.7B: even with DOW in the timestamp, the model
ignored it and tried to compute the day using Zeller's Congruence.
The "Current Date:" semantic label is widely present in training data
and gives small models the best chance of recognizing the timestamp
as authoritative context rather than metadata to parse.
Cost: ~18 tokens per message. Prevents hallucination spirals that
burn hundreds or thousands of tokens on date derivation.
Changes [2026-01-28 20:30 EST] to [Wed 2026-01-28 20:30 EST].
Costs ~1 extra token but provides day-of-week for smaller models
that can't derive DOW from a date. Frontier models already handle
it, but this is cheap insurance for 7B-class models.
Replace verbose formatUserTime (Wednesday, January 28th, 2026 — 8:30 PM)
with the same formatZonedTimestamp used by channel envelopes (2026-01-28
20:30 EST). This:
- Saves ~4 tokens per message (~7 vs ~11)
- Uses globally unambiguous YYYY-MM-DD 24h format
- Removes 12/24h config option (always 24h, agent-facing)
- Anchors envelope detection to the actual format function — if channels
change their timestamp format, our injection + detection change too
- Adds test that compares injection output to formatZonedTimestamp directly
Exported formatZonedTimestamp from auto-reply/envelope.ts for reuse.
Verifies that America/New_York correctly resolves to midnight for
both EST (winter, UTC-5) and EDT (summer, UTC-4) using the same
IANA timezone. Intl.DateTimeFormat handles the DST transition.
The chat.send handler (used by webchat and TUI) is a separate path
from the agent handler. Inject timestamp into BodyForAgent (what the
model sees) while keeping Body raw for UI display.
This completes timestamp coverage for all non-channel paths:
- agent handler: spawned subagents, sessions_send, heartbeats
- chat.send: webchat, TUI
Messages arriving through the gateway agent method (TUI, web, spawned
subagents, sessions_send, heartbeats) now get a timestamp prefix
automatically. This gives all agent contexts date/time awareness
without modifying the system prompt (which is cached for stability).
Channel messages (Discord, Telegram, etc.) already have timestamps
via envelope formatting in a separate code path and never reach
the agent handler, so there is no double-stamping risk.
Cron jobs also inject their own 'Current time:' prefix and are
detected and skipped.
Extracted as a pure function (injectTimestamp) with 12 unit tests
covering: timezone handling, 12/24h format, midnight boundaries,
envelope detection, cron detection, and empty messages.
Integration test verifies the agent handler wires it in correctly.
