Summary

Workboard records every dispatched agent session as engine: codex, model: default, and an execution id ending in :codex, even when the assigned agent actually runs through Anthropic Claude CLI with Claude Opus.

Root cause

extensions/workboard/src/dispatcher.ts hardcodes the execution metadata in buildExecution:

id: params.card.execution?.id ?? `${params.card.id}:codex`,
engine: "codex",
model: params.model,

DEFAULT_DISPATCH_MODEL is default. Meanwhile subagent.run receives an agent-scoped session key and no explicit provider/model, so the actual run correctly inherits the assigned agent's configured runtime.

Observed result:

• Workboard execution: engine=codex, model=default
• Actual stored session: provider=anthropic, model=claude-opus-4-8, agentRuntime.id=claude-cli

Expected behavior

Execution metadata should be populated from the resolved runtime/provider/model returned by the started subagent run, not hardcoded before runtime resolution. At minimum, an inherited/unknown engine should not be labeled Codex.

Environment

• OpenClaw 2026.7.1
• Assigned agent configured with primary anthropic/claude-opus-4-8 and agentRuntime.id=claude-cli
