Combines two complementary fixes for ghost reminder bug:
1. Filter HEARTBEAT_OK/exec messages (previous commit)
2. Embed actual event content in prompt (this commit)
Instead of static 'shown above' message, dynamically build prompt
with actual reminder text. Ensures model sees event content directly.
Credit: Approach inspired by @nyx-rymera's analysis in #13317Fixes#13317
- Add resetSystemEventsForTest() in beforeEach/afterEach
- Fix hardcoded status assertions (use toBeDefined + conditional checks)
- Prevents cross-test pollution of global system event queue
Addresses Greptile feedback on PR #15059
The heartbeat runner was incorrectly triggering CRON_EVENT_PROMPT
whenever ANY system events existed during a cron heartbeat, even if
those events were unrelated (e.g., HEARTBEAT_OK acks, exec completions).
This caused phantom 'scheduled reminder' notifications with no actual
reminder content.
Fix: Only treat as cron event if pending events contain actual
cron-related messages, excluding standard heartbeat acks and
exec completion messages.
Fixes#13317
* Heartbeat: inject cron-style current time into prompts
* Tests: fix type for web heartbeat timestamp test
* Infra: inline heartbeat current-time injection
* fix: prune stale session entries, cap entry count, and rotate sessions.json
The sessions.json file grows unbounded over time. Every heartbeat tick (default: 30m)
triggers multiple full rewrites, and session keys from groups, threads, and DMs
accumulate indefinitely with large embedded objects (skillsSnapshot,
systemPromptReport). At >50MB the synchronous JSON parse blocks the event loop,
causing Telegram webhook timeouts and effectively taking the bot down.
Three mitigations, all running inside saveSessionStoreUnlocked() on every write:
1. Prune stale entries: remove entries with updatedAt older than 30 days
(configurable via session.maintenance.pruneDays in openclaw.json)
2. Cap entry count: keep only the 500 most recently updated entries
(configurable via session.maintenance.maxEntries). Entries without updatedAt
are evicted first.
3. File rotation: if the existing sessions.json exceeds 10MB before a write,
rename it to sessions.json.bak.{timestamp} and keep only the 3 most recent
backups (configurable via session.maintenance.rotateBytes).
All three thresholds are configurable under session.maintenance in openclaw.json
with Zod validation. No env vars.
Existing tests updated to use Date.now() instead of epoch-relative timestamps
(1, 2, 3) that would be incorrectly pruned as stale.
27 new tests covering pruning, capping, rotation, and integration scenarios.
* feat: auto-prune expired cron run sessions (#12289)
Add TTL-based reaper for isolated cron run sessions that accumulate
indefinitely in sessions.json.
New config option:
cron.sessionRetention: string | false (default: '24h')
The reaper runs piggy-backed on the cron timer tick, self-throttled
to sweep at most every 5 minutes. It removes session entries matching
the pattern cron:<jobId>:run:<uuid> whose updatedAt + retention < now.
Design follows the Kubernetes ttlSecondsAfterFinished pattern:
- Sessions are persisted normally (observability/debugging)
- A periodic reaper prunes expired entries
- Configurable retention with sensible default
- Set to false to disable pruning entirely
Files changed:
- src/config/types.cron.ts: Add sessionRetention to CronConfig
- src/config/zod-schema.ts: Add Zod validation for sessionRetention
- src/cron/session-reaper.ts: New reaper module (sweepCronRunSessions)
- src/cron/session-reaper.test.ts: 12 tests covering all paths
- src/cron/service/state.ts: Add cronConfig/sessionStorePath to deps
- src/cron/service/timer.ts: Wire reaper into onTimer tick
- src/gateway/server-cron.ts: Pass config and session store path to deps
