Summary

When spawning a subagent via sessions_spawn, the subagent executes successfully (status: done) but the results are not delivered back to the main session.

Environment

• OpenClaw version: 2026.2.24 (Docker)
• Subagent model: openai-codex/gpt-5.1-codex-mini
• Channel: Telegram
• Host: Docker container

Steps to Reproduce

1. Spawn a subagent with sessions_spawn(agentId="memos-v2", task="...")
2. Subagent executes and returns done status
3. Check main session - results are NOT delivered

Expected Behavior

Subagent results should be announced/delivered to the requester session automatically.

Actual Behavior

• Subagent executes successfully (status: done)
• Subagent session logs show the response is generated correctly
• But no message appears in main session (Telegram)

Evidence

Subagent Status

status: done
runtimeMs: 15826

Subagent Session Log (shows response was generated)

{"type":"message","role":"assistant","content":[{"type":"text","text":"Result: fetched 3 memos..."}]}

Main Session Log (no delivery)

✅ Subagent memos-v2 finished

[Subagent Context] You are running as a subagent...
[Subagent Task]: ...

Only the task description is echoed back, not the actual result.

Workaround

Currently using main agent to execute tasks directly instead of subagents.

Related

• v2026.2.24 added direct-announce retries but issue persists
• v2026.2.22 added announceTimeoutMs configuration

Additional Context

This affects:

• memos-v2 agent (CRUD operations)
• Any subagent spawned via sessions_spawn
• Results are generated but not routed back to requester
