ClawSweeper quarantine throttled GitHub reads, OpenClaw fixes false compaction

By RepoJournal · Filed · About OpenClaw

ClawSweeper isolates public reads from privileged quota, and OpenClaw removes bodyless 400/413 patterns that caused false context compaction.

OpenClaw's compaction trigger still classified bodyless 400/413 responses as overflow even after the failover path was fixed, causing false context compaction. The fix removes those patterns from OVERFLOW_PATTERNS, so a bodyless 400 from any provider no longer trips the overflow detection [1]. Skill self-learning also changed: the deterministic regex capture path that templated raw chat text into skill proposals is deleted; all autonomous learning now flows through the isolated experience reviewer, which prefers revising pending proposals or updating the governing skill over creating new ones [2].
