Goal

Expose background/detached work through SDK-facing task ledger RPCs.

The SDK has task nouns, and OpenClaw already has background activity concepts. External apps need a stable way to show subagents, ACP jobs, cron-like jobs, CLI tasks, and async work without reading internal session logs.

Proposed methods

• tasks.list
• tasks.get
• tasks.cancel

Acceptance criteria

• Tasks have stable IDs and statuses.
• Tasks can be filtered by status, agent, and session.
• Cancellation has a clear result contract.
• Run/task/session relationships are visible when known.
• @openclaw/sdk task namespace can stop throwing unsupported for these basics.
