Closesqwibitai/nanoclaw#2325.
When the Claude Code SDK auto-compacts the conversation context, the
compaction summary tends to drop the agent's learned <message to="…">
wrapping discipline. The destinations table is still populated and the
system prompt still lists them, but the behavioral pattern degrades —
A2A sends and multi-channel routing silently revert to bare-text or
single-channel delivery for the rest of the session, until the next
/clear.
Three small changes wire a reminder back into the live query when this
fires:
- New `compacted` event on ProviderEvent. Distinct from `result` so it
doesn't mark the turn completed or get dispatched as a chat message
(which is also why "Context compacted (N tokens compacted)." stops
appearing as noise in user-facing chats — it was a side-effect of
reusing the result event path).
- ClaudeProvider yields `compacted` instead of `result` for the SDK's
compact_boundary system event.
- Poll-loop's event handler reacts by pushing a system-tagged reminder
back into the active query when there are >1 destinations. Single-
destination groups skip the push since they have a fallback that
works without wrapping.
Tests cover both branches (multi-destination → reminder fires;
single-destination → no reminder) using a CompactingProvider that
emits the new event mid-stream.

Claude Code 2.1.116+ treats SDK `allowedTools` as a hard whitelist:
servers whose namespace isnt listed are filtered out before the agent
ever sees them, regardless of `permissionMode: bypassPermissions` or
any `permissions.allow` in settings. The static TOOL_ALLOWLIST only
contained `mcp__nanoclaw__*`, so any MCP wired via add_mcp_server (or
directly in container.json) was silently dropped.
Derive `mcp__<sanitized-name>__*` entries at the SDK call site from
the already-aggregated `this.mcpServers` map, mirroring the SDKs own
sanitization rule (chars outside [A-Za-z0-9_-] become _).
Prior diagnosis by @jsboige in #2028 (withdrawn, not upstreamed).
Closes#1820.
The container agent-runner sets CLAUDE_CODE_AUTO_COMPACT_WINDOW
unconditionally on the container process env, with no way to override
it per-deployment without editing source. Read process.env first and
fall back to the existing 165000 literal when unset.
Default behavior is unchanged for installs that do not set the env
var. Operators running 1M-context models or emergency-tuning a live
deployment can now raise or lower the threshold from the host env.
The initial /add-atomic-chat-tool merge added src edits directly to main.
That conflicts with the utility-skill pattern used elsewhere (e.g. /claw):
the skill folder should ship the file and SKILL.md should instruct copy +
idempotent edits at install time, not a git merge that carries src diffs.
- Move container/agent-runner/src/atomic-chat-mcp-stdio.ts →
.claude/skills/add-atomic-chat-tool/atomic-chat-mcp-stdio.ts
- Revert the atomic_chat mcpServers entry in agent-runner index.ts
- Revert mcp__atomic_chat__* from TOOL_ALLOWLIST in providers/claude.ts
- Revert ATOMIC_CHAT_* env forwarding and [ATOMIC] log elevation in
src/container-runner.ts
- Empty .env.example back out
- Rewrite SKILL.md: copy the shipped file, then apply deterministic Edits
(index.ts, providers/claude.ts, container-runner.ts, .env.example)
with exact before/after snippets the installer agent can match.
Main is now back to its pre-PR state for the tool; /add-atomic-chat-tool
re-applies everything at install time.

Exposes local Atomic Chat models (OpenAI-compatible API at
127.0.0.1:1337/v1) as tools to the container agent. Adds
atomic_chat_list_models and atomic_chat_generate alongside
the existing Ollama skill.
Rebased on current main:
- MCP server registered in agent-runner index.ts using bun (no tsc
step in-image), sibling path to index.ts, env: {} with ATOMIC_CHAT_*
forwarded when set.
- allowedTools entry moved to providers/claude.ts TOOL_ALLOWLIST.
- SKILL.md: drop obsolete per-group copy step (single RO mount
supersedes it); use pnpm build.

The Agent SDK's default binary resolution picks the musl-linked native
binary (claude-agent-sdk-linux-arm64-musl), which cannot execute on the
Debian-based container image (glibc). Explicitly set
pathToClaudeCodeExecutable to /pnpm/claude — the pnpm global symlink
that resolves to the correct glibc binary regardless of architecture.

Replaces the two overlapping old mechanisms (30-min setTimeout kill in
container-runner, 10-min heartbeat STALE_THRESHOLD reset in host-sweep)
with message-scoped stuck detection anchored to the processing_ack claim
age + an absolute 30-min ceiling that extends for long-declared Bash
tools.
Old model problems:
- IDLE_TIMEOUT setTimeout fired on plain wall-clock time; slow-but-alive
agents got killed at 30min regardless of activity
- 10-min STALE_THRESHOLD in the sweep was unreliable — the heartbeat is
only touched on SDK events, so legitimate silent tool work (sleep 30,
long WebFetch, npm install) looked identical to a hung container
- Two overlapping sources of truth for "when to let go of a container"
New model:
- Host sweep is the single source of truth.
- Container exposes a new `container_state` single-row table in outbound.db
(schema added; container writes, host reads). PreToolUse hook writes
current_tool + tool_declared_timeout_ms (read from Bash's tool_input);
PostToolUse / PostToolUseFailure clear it.
- Sweep decides with a pure helper `decideStuckAction`:
* absolute ceiling — kill if heartbeat age > max(30min, bash_timeout)
* per-claim stuck — kill if any processing_ack row has claim_age >
max(60s, bash_timeout) AND heartbeat hasn't been touched since claim
* otherwise ok
Kill paths reset leftover processing rows with exponential backoff,
reusing the existing retry machinery.
Tool blocklist expanded:
- AskUserQuestion (SDK placeholder; we have mcp__nanoclaw__ask_user_question)
- EnterPlanMode, ExitPlanMode, EnterWorktree, ExitWorktree (Claude Code UI
affordances; would hang in headless containers)
PreToolUse hook is also defense-in-depth: if a disallowed tool name slips
through, it returns `{ decision: 'block' }` so the agent sees a clear
error instead of appearing stuck.
Removed:
- container-runner.ts: IDLE_TIMEOUT setTimeout, resetIdle callback on
activeContainers entry, resetContainerIdleTimer export.
- delivery.ts: the resetContainerIdleTimer call on successful delivery.
- poll-loop.ts: IDLE_END_MS + its setInterval. Keeping the query open is
cheaper than close+reopen (no cold prompt cache). Liveness is now a
host-side concern.
- host-sweep.ts: 10-min STALE_THRESHOLD_MS + getStuckProcessingIds in the
stale-detection path (still exported for kill reset).
Tests:
- src/host-sweep.test.ts — 9 tests for decideStuckAction covering: fresh
heartbeat, absolute ceiling, absent heartbeat, Bash-timeout extension
(both ceiling and per-claim), claim age below tolerance, heartbeat
touched after claim, unparseable timestamps.

v2 ships with only claude baked in. opencode now lives on the `providers`
branch and gets copied in via the /add-opencode skill.
Removed:
- src/providers/opencode.ts
- container/agent-runner/src/providers/{opencode,mcp-to-opencode}.ts + test
- @opencode-ai/sdk from agent-runner package.json + bun.lock
- opencode-ai global install + OPENCODE_VERSION ARG from Dockerfile
- opencode self-registration imports from both provider barrels
- opencode test case from factory.test.ts

Providers now mirror the channels pattern: each module calls
registerProvider() at top level, and providers/index.ts is a barrel of
side-effect imports. createProvider() becomes a thin registry lookup;
the closed ProviderName union is gone (now a string alias, since the
env var is a runtime string anyway).
Also adds a host-side provider-container-registry so providers can
declare their own mounts and env passthrough in src/providers/<name>.ts
instead of the container-runner having to know about each one. The
resolver runs once per spawn and threads provider + contribution
through buildMounts and buildContainerArgs so side effects (mkdir,
etc.) fire exactly once.
Both barrels are append-only — adding a new provider is a new file
+ one import line per barrel, no edits to existing files. The built-in
providers (claude, mock) don't need host-side config, so src/providers/
ships with an empty barrel; the container-side barrel imports both.

Scheduled tasks can now carry a bash script that runs inside the container
before the agent is invoked. The script prints `{wakeAgent, data?}` on its
last stdout line; if `wakeAgent: false` (or the script errors) the task
row is marked completed and the agent is never queried, saving API calls
on no-op checks. On wake, the script's `data` is injected into the task
prompt. Semantics mirror V1: 30s bash timeout, 1MB buffer, last-line JSON,
error == skip.
Also blocks the Claude SDK's built-in scheduling tools (CronCreate,
CronDelete, CronList, ScheduleWakeup) via `disallowedTools` so tasks
actually flow through `mcp__nanoclaw__schedule_task` and get the script
gate. CLAUDE.md gains a soft pointer explaining why `schedule_task` is
the right path.

Reshape AgentProvider so provider-specific assumptions stop leaking into
the generic layer. No change to what reaches sdkQuery() — same values,
different plumbing.
- QueryInput: opaque `continuation` replaces `sessionId` + `resumeAt`;
`systemContext.instructions` replaces ambiguous `systemPrompt`;
`mcpServers`, `env`, `additionalDirectories` move to `ProviderOptions`
at construction time.
- AgentProvider gains `isSessionInvalid(err)` and
`supportsNativeSlashCommands` so the poll-loop stops regex-matching
Claude error strings and gates passthrough slash commands per provider.
- ClaudeProvider owns `CLAUDE_CODE_AUTO_COMPACT_WINDOW` and the
stale-session regex internally.
- ProviderEvent.activity kept and documented as the liveness signal
(fires on every SDK message so the idle timer stays honest during
long tool runs); init carries `continuation` instead of `sessionId`.
- poll-loop drops mcpServers/env/systemPrompt from its config; admin
user id now passed explicitly.

- Replace in-memory Chat SDK state with SqliteStateAdapter — thread
subscriptions now persist across restarts
- Add migration 002 for chat_sdk_kv, subscriptions, locks, lists tables
- Handle /clear in agent-runner (reset sessionId) — SDK has
supportsNonInteractive:false for this command
- Pass /compact, /context, /cost, /files through to SDK as admin commands
- Skip admin commands in follow-up poll so they start fresh queries
- Emit compact_boundary events as user-visible feedback messages
- Pass NANOCLAW_ADMIN_USER_ID and NANOCLAW_ASSISTANT_NAME to containers

- Use DELETE journal mode for session DBs instead of WAL. WAL doesn't
sync reliably across Docker volume mounts (VirtioFS), causing dropped
writes and duplicate deliveries.
- Add 20s idle detection to end the query stream. The concurrent poll
tracks SDK activity via a new 'activity' provider event. When no SDK
events arrive for 20s and no messages are pending, the stream ends
and the poll loop continues.
- Add touchProcessing heartbeat so the host can distinguish active
agents from idle ones by checking status_changed recency.
- Catch query errors in the poll loop and write error responses to
messages_out instead of crashing the process.

AgentProvider abstraction with Claude and Mock implementations.
Poll loop reads messages_in, formats by kind, queries provider,
writes results to messages_out. Concurrent polling pushes follow-up
messages into active queries.
- providers/types.ts: AgentProvider, AgentQuery, ProviderEvent
- providers/claude.ts: wraps Agent SDK with MessageStream, hooks,
transcript archiving
- providers/mock.ts: canned responses with push() support
- providers/factory.ts: createProvider()
- formatter.ts: format by kind (chat/task/webhook/system), XML
escaping, routing extraction
- poll-loop.ts: poll → format → query → write, concurrent polling
- mcp-tools.ts: MCP server with send_message tool
- index-v2.ts: new entry point (config from env, enters poll loop)
- 11 new tests, all 288 tests pass
