* fix(teams): scope team tasks to the delegation origin, not the delivery channel
A delegated run is delivered on the internal "delegate" channel while its real
origin is preserved separately — buildAgentLinkRunRequest is explicit about it:
// preserves the origin's authorization-bearing identity while keeping
// delegation on its internal delivery channel.
Channel: "delegate",
WorkspaceChannel: req.Channel,
WorkspaceChatID: req.ChatID,
The team tools did not consult that origin, so a task created by a lead reached
through delegate was stamped with the delivery channel. Nothing is registered
for it, so every notification about that task — completion, failure, blocker
escalation, ask_user — was dropped:
unknown channel for outbound message channel=delegate
The delegatee's first answer still arrived, because it travels back as the
delegation result rather than through a channel; everything the lead said after
the delegation closed was lost. One session produced 16 such drops, including a
blocker escalation the user needed to see.
Add OriginChannelFromCtx / OriginChatIDFromCtx next to the existing workspace
scope propagation helpers, and use them where team scoping and notification
routing are decided: task records, list/search scoping, dispatch fallbacks,
event payloads, escalation tasks, ask_user and leader notifications. The
resolution is the identity when no delegation origin is present, so
non-delegated flows are unchanged.
Deliberately not touched: the channel used in authorization decisions
(checkTeamAccess, requireLead, approve/reject lead bypass). Those ask "how did
this call arrive", not "where should the answer go", and widening them is a
separate question.

* test(teams): cover delegated-lead completion routing and origin isolation
Triage on #1529 named two gates this PR had not met: regression coverage for
delegated lead task completion, and a guard that unrelated origins cannot
receive the notification. The existing tests only covered what create persists.
TestDelegatedLeadCompletionNotifiesOrigin completes a task raised in a delegated
context and asserts the completion event is addressed to the caller's origin.
Reverting team_event_helpers.go to the delivery channel fails it with
"addressed to delegate/system".
TestCompletionNotificationStaysWithinItsOwnOrigin puts two tasks from different
origins on one board, completes one, and asserts no completion notification
carries the other origin.

* fix(teams): grant a delegated lead read access to its own team
Fixes #1535. Second attempt: the first one set RunRequest.TeamWorkspace on the
delegated run, which loop_context.go rejects outright and deliberately so — that
field also becomes ToolWorkspace, which would displace the exchange outputs
directory. Every delegation then died at setup with "invalid delegation artifact
workspace". This does not go near that field.
The separation the lead needs already exists in the code. A lead addressed
directly resolves its team at loop_context.go:285-321 and gets
ctx = tools.WithToolTeamWorkspace(ctx, wsDir)
ctx = tools.WithToolTeamRoot(ctx, teamRoot)
with no WithToolWorkspace call — a read allowance, not an override. Only the
!isArtifactDelegation gate keeps a delegated lead out of it. So the grant is
made inside the artifact branch instead, from the same inputs, and the guard on
req.TeamWorkspace stays exactly as strict as it was.
Both paths are needed. The workspace alone covers only the lead's own chat leaf;
the deliverable in the report sits at teams/<id>/system/review-....md, written by
a member under a different chat scope. buildAllowedPrefixes adds the team root
for reads and not for writes (filesystem.go:366-370), which is precisely the
asymmetry this case wants: the lead reads the team's output, per-chat write
isolation is untouched.
Team ID is deliberately not set. It switches on the workspace interceptor's
write validation, file-change broadcast and task attachment (workspace_
interceptor.go:36,114,203) — none of which a delegated run should trigger, and
none of which reading needs.
Ambiguity is not resolved silently, as triage asked: an agent leading more than
one active team gets nothing. store.GetTeamForAgent would answer in one call but
it is ORDER BY (lead_agent_id = $1) DESC LIMIT 1 and would quietly pick a team.
Hermeticity is unchanged: send_file and message still refuse inside an artifact
run, publication still happens through delegation outputs on completion.
Tests: TestInjectContext_DelegatedLeadReadsTeamWithoutDisplacingOutputs drives
injectContext through the guard that broke the first attempt and pins both
halves — the run is not refused, and ToolWorkspace stays the outputs directory.
Resolution rules, the shared/isolated path shapes, read-not-write on the team
root, and send_file staying blocked are covered alongside.

* test(teams): pin that the delegated lead resolver does not re-scope by tenant
l.dataDir arrives already tenant-scoped from resolver.go (config.TenantDataDir),
which is why resolveDelegatedLeadTeamRead must not apply TenantLayer itself.
That was carried only by a comment, here and in the sibling branch of
injectContext, and nothing failed if someone added the layer back.
The failure it guards against is quiet: the path stays plausible, it just gains
a second tenant segment — teams/<id> under tenants/<slug>/tenants/<slug> — so
the lead is handed a directory its own tasks never write to, and reads come back
empty rather than denied.
Verified the assertion has teeth by reintroducing the layer: the subtest fails
with "tenant segment appears 2 times". Prompted by #1546 in this same area,
where a contract that lived outside the unit under test went unpinned and the
feature shipped green and did nothing.

Building from Source
# Prerequisites: Go 1.26+, pnpm, Wails CLI (go install github.com/wailsapp/wails/v2/cmd/wails@latest)
make desktop-build # Build .app (macOS) or .exe (Windows)
make desktop-dmg VERSION=0.1.0 # Create .dmg installer (macOS only)
make desktop-dev # Dev mode with hot reload
Desktop Releases
Desktop uses independent versioning with lite-v* tags:
git tag lite-v0.1.0 && git push origin lite-v0.1.0
# → GitHub Actions builds macOS (.dmg + .tar.gz) + Windows (.zip)
# → Creates GitHub Release with all assets
Architecture
Quick Start
Prerequisites: Go 1.26+, PostgreSQL 18 with pgvector, Docker (optional)
From Source
git clone -b main https://github.com/nextlevelbuilder/goclaw.git && cd goclaw
make build
./goclaw onboard # Interactive setup wizard
source .env.local && ./goclaw
Note: The default branch is
dev(active development). Use-b mainto clone the stable release branch.
With Docker
# Generate .env with auto-generated secrets
chmod +x prepare-env.sh && ./prepare-env.sh
# Add at least one GOCLAW_*_API_KEY to .env, then:
make up
# If Postgres fails to start ("port 5432 already allocated"), set another host
# port in .env, e.g. POSTGRES_PORT=5433 (see .env.example).
# Web Dashboard at http://localhost:18790 (built-in)
# Health check: curl http://localhost:18790/health
# Optional: separate nginx for custom SSL/reverse proxy
# make up WITH_WEB_NGINX=1 → Dashboard at http://localhost:3000
make up creates a Docker network, embeds the correct version from git tags, builds and starts all services, and runs database migrations automatically.
Common commands:
make up # Start all services (build + migrate)
make down # Stop all services
make logs # Tail logs (goclaw service)
make reset # Wipe volumes and rebuild from scratch
Operator CLI:
The main goclaw binary can also inspect local or remote gateways:
goclaw traces list --status error
goclaw traces get <trace-id> -o json
goclaw --server https://goclaw.example.com --token "$GOCLAW_GATEWAY_TOKEN" traces follow --session <session-key>
Optional services — enable with WITH_* flags:
| Flag | Service | What it does |
|---|---|---|
WITH_BROWSER=1 |
Headless Chrome | Enables browser tool for web scraping, screenshots, automation |
WITH_OTEL=1 |
Jaeger | OpenTelemetry tracing UI for debugging LLM calls and latency |
WITH_SANDBOX=1 |
Docker sandbox | Isolated container for running untrusted code from agents |
WITH_TAILSCALE=1 |
Tailscale | Expose gateway over Tailscale private network |
WITH_REDIS=1 |
Redis | Redis-backed caching layer |
Flags can be combined and work with all commands:
# Start with browser automation and tracing
make up WITH_BROWSER=1 WITH_OTEL=1
# Stop everything including optional services
make down WITH_BROWSER=1 WITH_OTEL=1
When GOCLAW_*_API_KEY environment variables are set, the gateway auto-onboards without interactive prompts — detects provider, runs migrations, and seeds default data.
Docker image variants:
Image Description latestBackend + embedded web UI + Python (recommended) latest-baseBackend API-only, no web UI, no runtimes latest-fullAll runtimes + skill dependencies pre-installed latest-otelLatest + OpenTelemetry tracing goclaw-webStandalone nginx + React SPA (for custom reverse proxy) For custom builds (Tailscale, Redis):
docker build --build-arg ENABLE_TSNET=true ...See the Deployment Guide for details.
Updating
Docker
docker compose pull && docker compose up -d
Binary (with embedded web UI)
goclaw update --apply # Downloads, verifies SHA256, swaps binary, restarts
Web Dashboard
Open About dialog → click Update Now (admin only). The update includes both backend and web dashboard when using the default latest image.
Multi-Agent Orchestration
Each agent runs with its own identity, tools, LLM provider, and context files.
Agent Links define outbound, inbound, or bidirectional permission edges.
Delegation can run synchronously or asynchronously and exchanges files through
an isolated delegation workspace; validated outputs are published back under
the caller's .delegations/<delegation-id>/ directory.
Details: Agent Teams docs
Knowledge Vault
Document registry with [[wikilinks]] for bidirectional linking. Hybrid search combines full-text (BM25) and semantic (pgvector) for precise retrieval. Filesystem sync keeps vault in sync with on-disk files.
Self-Evolution
Agents improve themselves through a 3-stage guardrailed pipeline: metrics collection → suggestion analysis → auto-adaptation. Can refine communication style and domain expertise (CAPABILITIES.md) — but never change identity, name, or core purpose.
Provider Adapters
20+ LLM providers unified through a single adapter interface. Capability-based routing, encrypted API keys (AES-256-GCM), extended thinking support per-provider, and prompt caching for Anthropic + OpenAI.
Event-Driven Architecture
Typed domain events power the consolidation pipeline — session summaries, knowledge graph extraction, and dreaming promotion all run asynchronously via worker pools with dedup and retry.
Built-in Tools
30+ tools across 8 categories:
| Category | Tools | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Filesystem | read_file, write_file, edit_file, list_files, search, glob |
File operations with virtual FS routing |
| Runtime | exec, browser |
Shell commands (approval workflow) + browser automation |
| Web | web_search, web_fetch |
Search (Brave, DuckDuckGo) + content extraction |
| Memory | memory_search, memory_get, knowledge_graph_search |
3-tier memory + KG traversal |
| Media | create_image, create_audio, create_video, read_*, tts |
Generation + analysis (multi-provider) |
| Skills | skill_search, use_skill, skill_manage |
BM25 + semantic hybrid search |
| Teams | team_tasks, spawn, delegate, message |
Task board + orchestration + messaging |
| Automation | cron, heartbeat, sessions_* |
Scheduling + session management |
