Fix explicit-agent fleets, remove payload timing race

By RepoJournal · Filed · About OpenClaw · Composed from the cited sources · methodology

Control UI terminals and model setup now work in explicit-agent fleets after a fix for a race condition that surfaced during Gateway restarts.

Explicit multi-agent fleets failed Control UI terminal opens and model setup with `AgentSelectionRequiredError`, especially while the UI reconnected after a Gateway restart. The fix makes repository ownership and agent selection explicit, so these operations resolve to the selected agent rather than failing. [1]

The diagnostics change reordering the large shard exposed a pre-existing one-second timeout around lazy Responses transport initialization. The payload timing race is resolved by failing from the stream's terminal result and pre-aborting egress, making payload serialization "a strict offline contract." [2]

Crabbox hardened sync behavior: it now rejects native Jujutsu workspaces to prevent Git discovery from escaping the `.jj` workspace and syncing the wrong revision. [3] The diagnostic credential redaction was made context-aware, failing closed on ambiguous bytes while preserving quoted shell syntax and JSON siblings. [4]
