Problem Statement

There is currently no CLI command to reset a specific session. When a session becomes corrupted (e.g. after a lock failure via the Telegram bridge), the only recovery path is to manually delete .jsonl and sessions.json files from inside the sandbox — which requires knowing the file paths and having sandbox shell access.

Proposed Design

A reset subcommand on openclaw sessions would make this recoverable without manual file system intervention:

  openclaw sessions reset main
  openclaw sessions reset tg-8689248858

Current workaround:

  rm /sandbox/.openclaw-data/agents/main/sessions/*.jsonl
  rm /sandbox/.openclaw-data/agents/main/sessions/sessions.json
