Describe the bug

The archiveAfterMinutes config key, documented in official OpenClaw subagents docs (https://docs.openclaw.ai/tools/subagents), does not resolve at the expected path agents.defaults.subagents.archiveAfterMinutes.

To Reproduce

openclaw config get agents.defaults.subagents.archiveAfterMinutes
# Config path not found: agents.defaults.subagents.archiveAfterMinutes

openclaw config get agents.defaults.subagents
# {
#   "maxConcurrent": 4,
#   "maxSpawnDepth": 1,
#   "maxChildrenPerAgent": 3,
#   "runTimeoutSeconds": 600
# }
# No archiveAfterMinutes key present

Expected behavior

agents.defaults.subagents.archiveAfterMinutes should resolve to a value (e.g., 60), or the docs should clarify the correct config path.

Actual behavior

Config path not found. The key may have been renamed, moved to a different config section, or replaced by a different cleanup mechanism.

extent analysis

TL;DR

The archiveAfterMinutes config key is not found at the expected path, suggesting a potential rename, move, or replacement in the config section.

Guidance

  • Review the official OpenClaw subagents documentation for any updates or changes to the archiveAfterMinutes config key.
  • Check the OpenClaw configuration files for any similar keys or sections that may have replaced archiveAfterMinutes.
  • Investigate the related issues (#71716 and #41530) to see if they provide any clues about the change or replacement of the archiveAfterMinutes feature.
  • Consider reaching out to the OpenClaw community or support team for further assistance, as the issue may be specific to the version (2026.5.3-1) or installation method (npm global).

Notes

The issue may be specific to the version of OpenClaw or the installation method, so it's essential to verify the configuration and documentation for that particular setup.

Recommendation

Apply workaround: Try to find an alternative configuration key or section that achieves the same functionality as archiveAfterMinutes, or reach out to the OpenClaw community for assistance.
