* fix(gateway): normalize session key casing to prevent ghost sessions on Linux
On case-sensitive filesystems (Linux), mixed-case session keys like
agent:ops:MySession and agent:ops:mysession resolve to different store
entries, creating ghost duplicates that never converge.
Core changes in session-utils.ts:
- resolveSessionStoreKey: lowercase all session key components
- canonicalizeSpawnedByForAgent: accept cfg, resolve main-alias references
via canonicalizeMainSessionAlias after lowercasing
- loadSessionEntry: return legacyKey only when it differs from canonicalKey
- resolveGatewaySessionStoreTarget: scan store for case-insensitive matches;
add optional scanLegacyKeys param to skip disk reads for read-only callers
- Export findStoreKeysIgnoreCase for use by write-path consumers
- Compare global/unknown sentinels case-insensitively in all canonicalization
functions
sessions-resolve.ts:
- Make resolveSessionKeyFromResolveParams async for inline migration
- Check canonical key first (fast path), then fall back to legacy scan
- Delete ALL legacy case-variant keys in a single updateSessionStore pass
Fixes#12603
* fix(gateway): propagate canonical keys and clean up all case variants on write paths
- agent.ts: use canonicalizeSpawnedByForAgent (with cfg) instead of raw
toLowerCase; use findStoreKeysIgnoreCase to delete all legacy variants
on store write; pass canonicalKey to addChatRun, registerAgentRunContext,
resolveSendPolicy, and agentCommand
- sessions.ts: replace single-key migration with full case-variant cleanup
via findStoreKeysIgnoreCase in patch/reset/delete/compact handlers; add
case-insensitive fallback in preview (store already loaded); make
sessions.resolve handler async; pass scanLegacyKeys: false in preview
- server-node-events.ts: use findStoreKeysIgnoreCase to clean all legacy
variants on voice.transcript and agent.request write paths; pass
canonicalKey to addChatRun and agentCommand
* test(gateway): add session key case-normalization tests
Cover the case-insensitive session key canonicalization logic:
- resolveSessionStoreKey normalizes mixed-case bare and prefixed keys
- resolveSessionStoreKey resolves mixed-case main aliases (MAIN, Main)
- resolveGatewaySessionStoreTarget includes legacy mixed-case store keys
- resolveGatewaySessionStoreTarget collects all case-variant duplicates
- resolveGatewaySessionStoreTarget finds legacy main alias keys with
customized mainKey configuration
All 5 tests fail before the production changes, pass after.
* fix: clean legacy session alias cleanup gaps (openclaw#12846) thanks @mcaxtr
