extent analysis

TL;DR

  • The issue may be resolved by modifying the prompt to explicitly request a text response after the command execution.

Guidance

  • Review the OpenClaw documentation to see if there are any specific flags or parameters that can be used to force a text response after command execution.
  • Try modifying the prompt to include an explicit request for a status update or text response after the job is finished, e.g., "Please reply with the job status when finished".
  • Verify that the issue is not specific to certain types of commands (e.g., file reading vs. browser opening) to help narrow down the cause.
  • Check if there are any configuration options in OpenClaw or the LM studio that control the response behavior.

Example

  • No code snippet is provided as the issue does not imply a specific code-related fix.

Notes

  • The issue may be related to the specific version of OpenClaw (2026.4.7) or the qwen3.5-9b model, but without more information, it's difficult to determine.
  • The lack of logs, screenshots, and evidence makes it challenging to provide a more specific solution.

Recommendation

  • Apply workaround: Modify the prompt to explicitly request a text response after command execution, as this is a non-invasive and easy-to-test solution that may resolve the issue without requiring significant changes or upgrades.
