Bug type

CLI / UI behavior

Summary

With a usable CLI model backend, the documented exact command talk to agent can produce a conversational handoff reply without returning the open-agent action. The macOS app therefore remains in Crestodian instead of opening the configured agent UI.

Steps to reproduce

1. Configure Crestodian to use a logged-in Claude Code CLI backend.
2. Send talk to agent through crestodian.chat.
3. Inspect the RPC action.

Expected behavior

The exact documented host command deterministically returns action: "open-agent" and hands the user to the normal agent UI.

Actual behavior

Claude replies that it is handing the user over, but no directive is observed and the RPC returns action: "none".

OpenClaw version

2026.6.11 / 4068f3

Operating system

macOS

Install method

Packaged branch build

Model / provider

claude-cli/claude-opus-4-8 via an existing Claude Code login

Logs / evidence

The failure reproduced in fresh Crestodian sessions. Deterministic fallback tests pass because they parse the command host-side, while the usable-model path delegates the exact handoff command to the model.

Impact

The onboarding completion path is model-dependent and can strand the user on the setup screen.

Additional context

This is a host-navigation action, like exiting the chat, and should not depend on whether a model elects to call the tool.
