Description

Environment

  • Windows Hub: v2026.7.1-4 (stable, x64)
  • OS: Windows 10 LTSC 21H2 (build 19044.2311), zh-CN locale
  • Gateway: OpenClaw 2026.8.2 on WSL2

Three gaps between the native chat window and the web Control UI:

  1. Slash commands: typing /status in native chat is sent to the agent as a plain message; the web Control UI handles it client-side and renders a status card. Please intercept client-side commands locally (at least /status, /compact).

  2. Compaction marker: after history compaction, the web Control UI shows a folding summary card, but Hub chat shows nothing — older history just disappears from view with no indication why. Please surface a compaction indicator.

  3. Context usage: thanks for #551 (usage in the assistant timestamp footer) — works well. A persistent context-usage indicator would be a nice follow-up.

Research direction

Start by comparing native chat behavior with the web Control UI for /status and /compact, then inspect how native chat renders history and assistant usage. Done means local handling produces the corresponding status or compaction UI, and a persistent context-usage indicator is visible without sending commands to the agent.
