Description

Version: 2026.6.1 (2026.5.28 installed, updated today)

Heartbeat still shows malformed exec completion text instead of actual command output.

Steps to reproduce:

  1. Create a HEARTBEAT.md that includes an exec step (e.g. tail -5 ~/.openclaw/workspace/memory/2026-06-04.md)
  2. Wait for heartbeat to fire

Expected: Heartbeat shows the actual output of the exec command

Actual: Heartbeat shows generic fallback text:
⚠️ 🛠️ show last 20 lines of ~/.openclaw/workspace/memory/2026-06-04.md failed

This matches the exact pattern described in issues #66382 and #66487 (both marked CLOSED). Either this is a regression or the fix was incomplete.
