openclaw - 💡(How to fix) Fix Subagent announce silently drops results after retry exhaustion [1 participants]

TL;DR

Implement a persistent announce queue to ensure durable delivery of announce events to the parent session.

Guidance

• Consider increasing the retry window significantly (e.g., 10 minutes with backoff) as a temporary workaround to reduce the likelihood of silent give-ups.
• Evaluate the feasibility of letting the parent poll for missed announces at turn-start as an alternative solution.
• Assess the current system's capacity to handle concurrent user chats and subagent completions to identify potential bottlenecks.
• Review the gateway's configuration and logs to understand the root cause of the gateway timeout after 120000ms.

Example

No code snippet is provided due to the lack of specific implementation details in the issue.

Notes

The suggested fix implies that the current implementation is fire-and-forget, which may not be suitable for the required use case. The persistent announce queue solution may require significant changes to the existing architecture.

Recommendation

Apply a workaround, such as increasing the retry window or implementing parent polling, as a temporary solution until a more robust persistent announce queue can be implemented. This is because the silent give-up issue has a significant impact on user experience, and a workaround can help mitigate this issue in the short term.
