openclaw - 💡(How to fix) Fix [Feature Request] Auto-hide ephemeral/isolated sessions from session bar after task completion [1 participants]

TL;DR

Enable automatic removal of ephemeral sessions from the session bar by setting ephemeralAutoCleanup to true in the global config or using the deleteAfterRun flag per-cron job.

Guidance

• To automatically remove ephemeral sessions, consider implementing Option 1 — Global config: set ephemeralAutoCleanup to true and adjust the ephemeralAutoCleanupDelay as needed.
• For more granular control, use Option 2 — Per-cron flag: set deleteAfterRun to true for specific cron jobs.
• Verify the fix by running a scheduled task or background sessions_spawn task and checking if the session is automatically removed from the session bar after completion.
• Test different delay values for ephemeralAutoCleanupDelay to find the optimal balance between session removal and potential debugging needs.

Example

{
  sessions: {
    ephemeralAutoCleanup: true,
    ephemeralAutoCleanupDelay: 1000 // adjust delay as needed
  }
}

Notes

The proposed solution assumes that the ephemeralAutoCleanup and deleteAfterRun options will be implemented and functional. If these options are not available, alternative workarounds such as openclaw sessions cleanup or session expiry may need to be used.

Recommendation

Apply workaround by using Option 1 — Global config and setting ephemeralAutoCleanup to true, as this provides a more comprehensive solution for automatically removing ephemeral sessions.
