openclaw - 💡(How to fix) Fix Session lock stuck in 'processing' after context overflow compaction succeeds [1 participants]

TL;DR

The session remains stuck in the processing state after auto-compaction succeeds, suggesting a potential issue with the retry mechanism or session state management.

Guidance

• Investigate the retry logic after auto-compaction to ensure it correctly updates the session state to idle upon completion.
• Verify that the queueDepth=0 condition is properly handled to prevent the session from getting stuck.
• Check for any potential deadlocks or race conditions that might occur when the session is retried after auto-compaction.
• Review the diagnostics flag stuck session to understand the conditions under which it is triggered and how it relates to the session state.

Example

No code snippet can be provided without more context about the implementation details.

Notes

The issue seems to be related to the specific combination of OpenClaw version, model, and compaction mode used. The fact that it happens consistently after auto-compaction and prompt retry suggests a potential bug in the session management or retry logic.

Recommendation

Apply a workaround to manually reset the session state to idle after auto-compaction succeeds, if possible, to prevent the session from getting stuck and blocking all incoming messages. This could involve modifying the retry logic or adding a timeout to detect and recover from stuck sessions.
