* fix(onboarding): use scoped plugin snapshots to prevent OOM on low-memory hosts
Onboarding and channel-add flows previously loaded the full plugin registry,
which caused OOM crashes on memory-constrained hosts. This patch introduces
scoped, non-activating plugin registry snapshots that load only the selected
channel plugin without replacing the running gateway's global state.
Key changes:
- Add onlyPluginIds and activate options to loadOpenClawPlugins for scoped loads
- Add suppressGlobalCommands to plugin registry to avoid leaking commands
- Replace full registry reloads in onboarding with per-channel scoped snapshots
- Validate command definitions in snapshot loads without writing global registry
- Preload configured external plugins via scoped discovery during onboarding

* refactor: remove channel shim directories, point all imports to extensions
Delete the 6 backward-compat shim directories (src/telegram, src/discord,
src/slack, src/signal, src/imessage, src/web) that were re-exporting from
extensions. Update all 112+ source files to import directly from
extensions/{channel}/src/ instead of through the shims.
Also:
- Move src/channels/telegram/ (allow-from, api) to extensions/telegram/src/
- Fix outbound adapters to use resolveOutboundSendDep (fixes 5 pre-existing TS errors)
- Update cross-extension imports (src/web/media.js → extensions/whatsapp/src/media.js)
- Update vitest, tsdown, knip, labeler, and script configs for new paths
- Update guard test allowlists for extension paths
After this, src/ has zero channel-specific implementation code — only the
generic plugin framework remains.
* fix: update raw-fetch guard allowlist line numbers after shim removal
* refactor: document direct extension channel imports
* test: mock transcript module in delivery helpers
Plugin subagent dispatch used a hardcoded synthetic client carrying
operator.admin, operator.approvals, and operator.pairing for all
runtime.subagent.* calls. Plugin HTTP routes with auth:"plugin" require
no gateway auth by design, so an unauthenticated external request could
drive admin-only gateway methods (sessions.delete, agent.run) through
the subagent runtime.
Propagate the real gateway client into the plugin runtime request scope
when one is available. Plugin HTTP routes now run inside a scoped
runtime client: auth:"plugin" routes receive a non-admin synthetic
operator.write client; gateway-authenticated routes retain admin-capable
scopes. The security boundary is enforced at the HTTP handler level.
Fixes GHSA-xw77-45gv-p728
* feat(context-engine): add ContextEngine interface and registry
Introduce the pluggable ContextEngine abstraction that allows external
plugins to register custom context management strategies.
- ContextEngine interface with lifecycle methods: bootstrap, ingest,
ingestBatch, afterTurn, assemble, compact, prepareSubagentSpawn,
onSubagentEnded, dispose
- Module-level singleton registry with registerContextEngine() and
resolveContextEngine() (config-driven slot selection)
- LegacyContextEngine: pass-through implementation wrapping existing
compaction behavior for 100% backward compatibility
- ensureContextEnginesInitialized() guard for safe one-time registration
- 19 tests covering contract, registry, resolution, and legacy parity
* feat(plugins): add context-engine slot and registerContextEngine API
Wire the ContextEngine abstraction into the plugin system so external
plugins can register context engines via the standard plugin API.
- Add 'context-engine' to PluginKind union type
- Add 'contextEngine' slot to PluginSlotsConfig (default: 'legacy')
- Wire registerContextEngine() through OpenClawPluginApi
- Export ContextEngine types from plugin-sdk for external consumers
- Restore proper slot-based resolution in registry
* feat(context-engine): wire ContextEngine into agent run lifecycle
Integrate the ContextEngine abstraction into the core agent run path:
- Resolve context engine once per run (reused across retries)
- Bootstrap: hydrate canonical store from session file on first run
- Assemble: route context assembly through pluggable engine
- Auto-compaction guard: disable built-in auto-compaction when
the engine declares ownsCompaction (prevents double-compaction)
- AfterTurn: post-turn lifecycle hook for ingest + background
compaction decisions
- Overflow compaction: route through contextEngine.compact()
- Dispose: clean up engine resources in finally block
- Notify context engine on subagent lifecycle events
Legacy engine: all lifecycle methods are pass-through/no-op, preserving
100% backward compatibility for users without a context engine plugin.
* feat(plugins): add scoped subagent methods and gateway request scope
Expose runtime.subagent.{run, waitForRun, getSession, deleteSession}
so external plugins can spawn sub-agent sessions without raw gateway
dispatch access.
Uses AsyncLocalStorage request-scope bridge to dispatch internally via
handleGatewayRequest with a synthetic operator client. Methods are only
available during gateway request handling.
- Symbol.for-backed global singleton for cross-module-reload safety
- Fallback gateway context for non-WS dispatch paths (Telegram/WhatsApp)
- Set gateway request scope for all handlers, not just plugin handlers
- 3 staleness tests for fallback context hardening
* feat(context-engine): route /compact and sessions.get through context engine
Wire the /compact command and sessions.get handler through the pluggable
ContextEngine interface.
- Thread tokenBudget and force parameters to context engine compact
- Route /compact through contextEngine.compact() when registered
- Wire sessions.get as runtime alias for plugin subagent dispatch
- Add .pebbles/ to .gitignore
* style: format with oxfmt 0.33.0
Fix duplicate import (ControlUiRootState in server.impl.ts) and
import ordering across all changed files.
* fix: update extension test mocks for context-engine types
Add missing subagent property to bluebubbles PluginRuntime mock.
Add missing registerContextEngine to lobster OpenClawPluginApi mock.
* fix(subagents): keep deferred delete cleanup retryable
* style: format run attempt for CI
* fix(rebase): remove duplicate embedded-run imports
* test: add missing gateway context mock export
* fix: pass resolved auth profile into afterTurn compaction
Ensure the embedded runner forwards resolved auth profile context into
legacy context-engine compaction params on the normal afterTurn path,
matching overflow compaction behavior. This allows downstream LCM
summarization to use the intended provider auth/profile consistently.
Also fix strict TS typing in external-link token dedupe and align an
attempt unit test reasoningLevel value with the current ReasoningLevel
enum.
Regeneration-Prompt: |
We were debugging context-engine compaction where downstream summary
calls were missing the right auth/profile context in normal afterTurn
flow, while overflow compaction already propagated it. Preserve current
behavior and keep changes additive: thread the resolved authProfileId
through run -> attempt -> legacy compaction param builder without
broad refactors.
Add tests that prove the auth profile is included in afterTurn legacy
params and that overflow compaction still passes it through run
attempts. Keep existing APIs stable, and only adjust small type issues
needed for strict compilation.
* fix: remove duplicate imports from rebase
* feat: add context-engine system prompt additions
* fix(rebase): dedupe attempt import declarations
* test: fix fetch mock typing in ollama autodiscovery
* fix(test): add registerContextEngine to diffs extension mock APIs
* test(windows): use path.delimiter in ios-team-id fixture PATH
* test(cron): add model formatting and precedence edge case tests
Covers:
- Provider/model string splitting (whitespace, nested paths, empty segments)
- Provider normalization (casing, aliases like bedrock→amazon-bedrock)
- Anthropic model alias normalization (opus-4.5→claude-opus-4-5)
- Precedence: job payload > session override > config default
- Sequential runs with different providers (CI flake regression pattern)
- forceNew session preserving stored model overrides
- Whitespace/empty model string edge cases
- Config model as string vs object format
* test(cron): fix model formatting test config types
* test(phone-control): add registerContextEngine to mock API
* fix: re-export ChannelKind from config-reload-plan
* fix: add subagent mock to plugin-runtime-mock test util
* docs: add changelog fragment for context engine PR #22201
Add requestHeartbeatNow to PluginRuntime.system so extensions can
trigger an immediate heartbeat wake without importing internal modules.
This enables extensions to inject a system event and wake the agent
in one step — useful for inbound message handlers that use the
heartbeat model (e.g. agent-to-agent DMs via Nostr).
Changes:
- src/plugins/runtime/types.ts: add RequestHeartbeatNow type alias
and requestHeartbeatNow to PluginRuntime.system
- src/plugins/runtime/index.ts: import and wire requestHeartbeatNow
into createPluginRuntime()
* feat(hooks): add trigger and channelId to plugin hook agent context
Adds `trigger` and `channelId` fields to `PluginHookAgentContext` so
plugins can determine what initiated the agent run and which channel
it originated from, without session-key parsing or Redis bridging.
trigger values: "user", "heartbeat", "cron", "memory"
channelId values: "telegram", "discord", "whatsapp", etc.
Both fields are threaded through run.ts and attempt.ts hookCtx so all
hook phases receive them (before_model_resolve, before_prompt_build,
before_agent_start, llm_input, llm_output, agent_end).
channelId falls back from messageChannel to messageProvider when the
former is not set. followup-runner passes originatingChannel so queued
followup runs also carry channel context.
* docs(changelog): note hook context parity fix for #28623
