openclaw - 💡(How to fix) Fix [Bug]: ignored an explicit stop/no-action instruction [1 participants]

Fix Plan

To address the issue of OpenClaw ignoring an explicit stop instruction and injecting an internal continuation message, we need to modify the logic that handles user input and internal retry behavior.

• Update the stop_action function to set a flag that overrides any internal retry mechanisms.
• Modify the inject_continuation_message function to check for this flag before injecting any messages.

Example Code

# Define a flag to track user intent to stop
user_stop_intent = False

def stop_action():
    global user_stop_intent
    user_stop_intent = True
    # Stop all actions

def inject_continuation_message():
    global user_stop_intent
    if user_stop_intent:
        return  # Do not inject message if user intends to stop
    # Inject continuation message logic

def retry_behavior():
    global user_stop_intent
    if user_stop_intent:
        return  # Override retry behavior if user intends to stop
    # Retry logic

Verification

To verify that the fix worked, test the following scenarios:

• Issue a stop instruction and verify that no continuation messages are injected.
• Trigger the internal retry behavior and verify that it is overridden by the user's stop intent.

Extra Tips

• Ensure that the user_stop_intent flag is properly reset after the stop instruction is processed to allow for future actions.
• Review the entire codebase to ensure that similar issues do not exist in other areas.
