Problem

When a config change triggers a hot-reload, the gateway rewrites agents.list without preserving the per-agent workspace field. This silently breaks multi-agent setups.

Reproduction

  1. Configure two agents with distinct workspaces: main → "/.openclaw/workspace" ubh → "/projets/ubh" rail → "~/projets/rail-pk-overlay"

  2. Trigger a hot-reload (e.g. change agents.defaults.model.primary)

  3. Gateway logs show agents.list was rewritten: [reload] config hot reload applied (agents.defaults.model.primary, ...)

  4. Per-agent workspaces are now gone: { id: "ubh" } // workspace dropped silently { id: "rail-pk" } // workspace dropped silently

Impact

  • Agents load wrong AGENTS.md/SOUL.md/USER.md (identity confusion)
  • No warning or error — silent data loss
