openclaw - 💡(How to fix) Fix bug(subagents): completion can be lost even when child run succeeded [1 participants]

TL;DR

Implement a mechanism to make completed child runs visible as pending completions in the parent session state to mitigate missed delivery of completion events.

Guidance

• Investigate the handshake protocol between child completion and parent-session event surfacing to identify potential issues causing the delivery failure.
• Review the code handling the completion event delivery to ensure it is correctly implemented and not prone to errors.
• Consider adding a timeout or retry mechanism for the parent session to query the child run status if the completion event is not received within a certain timeframe.
• Implement a fallback mechanism to allow the parent session to query and acknowledge completed child runs if the completion event delivery fails.

Example

No specific code snippet can be provided without more context, but an example of a potential solution could involve adding a "pending completions" list to the parent session state and periodically checking this list for completed child runs.

Notes

The provided information suggests a delivery or handshake issue between the child completion and parent-session event surfacing, but without more details on the implementation, it is difficult to provide a specific fix. The suggested mitigation should help improve the robustness of the system, but the root cause of the issue still needs to be investigated and addressed.

Recommendation

Apply workaround: Implementing a mechanism to make completed child runs visible as pending completions in the parent session state can help mitigate the issue and provide a more robust solution until the root cause of the delivery failure can be identified and fixed.
