openclaw - 💡(How to fix) Fix Control UI: Show task label + 'completed' instead of 'terminated' for finished subagent sessions [1 participants]

For non-technical users, "terminated" reads as an error. A task-aware status message gives confidence that the system is working as expected and provides useful context about what finished.

TL;DR

Update the Control UI to display task-aware status messages based on the task's actual state, such as "completed" or "failed", instead of the generic "terminated" label.

Guidance

• Review the subagent's label field and task state to determine the correct status message to display in the Control UI.
• Consider adding conditional logic to display different status messages based on the task's outcome, such as "completed successfully", "failed", or "cancelled".
• Use the existing label field to provide context about the task that finished, as suggested in the issue.
• Test the updated UI with different task outcomes to ensure the correct status messages are displayed.

Example

// Pseudocode example of conditional logic for status messages
if (taskState === 'completed') {
  statusMessage = `${taskLabel} — completed`;
} else if (taskState === 'failed') {
  statusMessage = `${taskLabel} — failed`;
} else if (taskState === 'killed') {
  statusMessage = 'cancelled';
}

Notes

The exact implementation details may vary depending on the underlying technology stack and UI framework used in the Control UI.

Recommendation

Apply a workaround by updating the Control UI to display task-aware status messages, as this provides a more user-friendly and informative experience, especially for non-technical users.
