coding agent
What it does
- Always launch with background:true.
- Codex and OpenCode: use pty:true.
- Claude Code: no PTY; use claude --permission-mode bypassPermissions --print.
- Capture a real notification route before spawning.
- Worker must send completion/failure via openclaw message send.
- Do not rely on heartbeat, system events, or notify-on-exit.
- Monitor with process; do not kill slow workers without cause.
Requirements & configuration
- Codex needs a trusted git repo. This throwaway scaffold is not project work and has no canonical remote, so the Git preparation block does not apply:
Configuration: OPENCLAW_STATE_DIRHEADPROMPTSCRATCH
