Bug Description

After a session compaction occurs, the web control UI started showing internal System metadata messages, including:

  • System: [timestamp] [Post-compaction context refresh]
  • Various internal messages like System (untrusted):
  • Session startup sequence guidance

Steps to Reproduce

  1. Use OpenClaw web control UI to chat with AI normally
  2. When session compaction occurs
  3. The web UI starts showing all internal metadata messages

Expected Behavior

After compaction, these internal System messages should NOT be displayed - should only show normal user/AI conversation as before.

Environment

  • Platform: Windows
  • Channel: openclaw-control-ui

extent analysis

TL;DR

Filtering or hiding internal System metadata messages in the OpenClaw web control UI after session compaction may resolve the issue.

Guidance

  • Review the UI rendering logic to ensure it correctly filters out internal metadata messages after session compaction.
  • Verify if there are any configuration options or flags in the OpenClaw web control UI that control the visibility of these internal messages.
  • Check if the session compaction process is correctly updating the UI state to exclude internal metadata messages.
  • Investigate if there are any recent changes to the UI or session compaction logic that may have introduced this issue.

Notes

The exact cause of the issue is unclear, but it appears to be related to the handling of internal metadata messages after session compaction. Further investigation into the UI rendering logic and session compaction process is needed to determine the root cause.

Recommendation

Apply workaround: Implement a temporary filter in the UI to hide internal metadata messages until the root cause can be determined and fixed, as this will at least restore the expected user experience.
