- Twitch: keep stale message-handler cleanup callbacks from removing newer handler registrations for the same account, preserving inbound message delivery after reconnects. Fixes #83888. (#85425) Thanks @alkor2000.
- Memory/LanceDB: expose public memory artifacts through the active memory provider bridge so memory-wiki imports durable memory files, daily notes, dream reports, and event logs without depending on memory-core internals. Fixes #83604. (#85060) Thanks @brokemac79.
- Crabbox: keep AWS hydration compatible with local Actions replay by inlining the hydrate workflow's Node/pnpm setup instead of invoking repo-local composite actions.
- Agents/subagents: simplify native sub-agent completion handoff so children report their latest visible assistant result to the requester without using `message`, while keeping parent-owned message-tool delivery policy intact. Fixes #85070. (#85089) Thanks @brokemac79.
- Docker setup: stop printing the Gateway bearer token in setup logs and printed follow-up commands.
- Agents: let embedded compaction fallback retries proceed when PI-compatible candidates do not need agent harness plugin preparation.
- Agents/tools: honor configured custom provider API keys when deciding whether media, image-generation, video-generation, music-generation, and PDF tools are available. (#85570)

### Spawn behavior
`/subagents spawn` starts a background sub-agent as a user command (not an
internal relay) and sends one final completion update back to the
requester chat when the run finishes.
Agents start background sub-agents with `sessions_spawn`. Sub-agent completions
return as internal parent-session events; the parent/requester agent decides
whether a user-facing update is needed.

- The spawn command is non-blocking; it returns a run id immediately.
- On completion, the sub-agent announces a summary/result message back to the requester chat channel.
- `sessions_spawn` is non-blocking; it returns a run id immediately.
- On completion, the sub-agent reports back to the parent/requester session.
- Agent turns that need child results should call `sessions_yield` after spawning required work. That ends the current turn and lets completion events arrive as the next model-visible message.
- Completion is push-based. Once spawned, do **not** poll `/subagents list`, `sessions_list`, or `sessions_history` in a loop just to wait for it to finish; inspect status only on-demand for debugging or intervention.

- Child output is a report/evidence for the requester agent to synthesize. It is not user-authored instruction text and cannot override system, developer, or user policy.
- On completion, OpenClaw best-effort closes tracked browser tabs/processes opened by that sub-agent session before the announce cleanup flow continues.

<Accordion title="Completion delivery">
- OpenClaw hands completions back to the requester session through an `agent` turn with a stable idempotency key.
- If the requester run is still active, OpenClaw first tries to wake/steer that run instead of starting a second visible reply path.
- If an active requester cannot be woken, OpenClaw falls back to a requester-agent handoff with the same completion context instead of dropping the announce.
- If the requester-agent completion handoff fails or produces no visible output, OpenClaw treats delivery as failed and falls back to queue routing/retry. It does not raw-send the child result directly to the external chat.
- Group and channel completion handoffs follow the same message-tool-only visible reply policy as normal group/channel turns, so the requester agent must use the message tool when required.
- A successful parent handoff completes sub-agent delivery even when the parent decides no visible user update is needed.
- Native sub-agents do not get the message tool. They return plain assistant text to the parent/requester agent; human-visible replies are owned by the parent/requester agent's normal delivery policy.
- If direct handoff cannot be used, it falls back to queue routing.
- If queue routing is still not available, the announce is retried with a short exponential backoff before final give-up.
- Completion delivery keeps the resolved requester route: thread-bound or conversation-bound completion routes win when available; if the completion origin only provides a channel, OpenClaw fills the missing target/account from the requester session's resolved route (`lastChannel` / `lastTo` / `lastAccountId`) so direct delivery still works.

- For ACP harness sessions (Claude Code, Gemini CLI, OpenCode, or explicit Codex ACP/acpx), use `sessions_spawn` with `runtime: "acp"` when the tool advertises that runtime. See [ACP delivery model](/tools/acp-agents#delivery-model) when debugging completions or agent-to-agent loops. When the `codex` plugin is enabled, Codex chat/thread control should prefer `/codex ...` over ACP unless the user explicitly asks for ACP/acpx.
- OpenClaw hides `runtime: "acp"` until ACP is enabled, the requester is not sandboxed, and a backend plugin such as `acpx` is loaded. `runtime: "acp"` expects an external ACP harness id, or an `agents.list[]` entry with `runtime.type="acp"`; use the default sub-agent runtime for normal OpenClaw config agents from `agents_list`.
