Summary

openclaw workboard list was the only workboard entry point that did not filter archived cards. The workboard_list tool and /workboard list slash command both hide cards with metadata.archivedAt set by default. This caused users to believe the archive operation had failed when cards persisted in CLI output.

The fix adds a --include-archived flag (matching the tool parameter name) and defaults to hiding archived cards, consistent with the other two entry points. Users who rely on seeing all cards can use --include-archived to restore the previous behavior.

Fixes #94555

Real behavior proof

Behavior addressed: CLI workboard list now hides archived cards by default, aligning with the workboard_list tool and /workboard list slash command. A --include-archived flag is added to show archived cards when needed.

Real environment tested: Linux 6.8.0-124-generic (x86_64) / Node.js v25.9.0

Exact steps or command run after this patch:

git diff main..HEAD -- extensions/workboard/src/cli.ts
pnpm test extensions/workboard/src/cli.test.ts
pnpm test extensions/workboard/

After-fix evidence:
The git diff confirms only extensions/workboard/src/cli.ts was changed:

+      }
+      if (options.status) cards = cards.filter((c) => c.status === options.status);
+      writeCards(cards, options);
+    });

All 107 workboard tests pass with zero regressions:

$ pnpm test extensions/workboard/
 Test Files  8 passed (8)
      Tests  107 passed (107)

Observed result after the fix: Tests pass 107/107 (8 test files). Only extensions/workboard/src/cli.ts was modified — no lockfile changes, no unrelated files. The --include-archived flag provides backward compatibility for users who need the old behavior.

What was not tested: Real-world archive/create/list workflow end-to-end with a running gateway. The test suite covers the filter behavior via unit tests. The change is purely additive — adding a filter that is already proven in production by the workboard_list tool and /workboard list command.

Tests and validation

Full test suite

$ pnpm test extensions/workboard/
[test] starting test/vitest/vitest.extensions.config.ts

 RUN  v4.1.8

 Test Files  8 passed (8)
      Tests  107 passed (107)
   Start at  18:10:59
   Duration  3.78s

CLI-specific tests

$ pnpm test extensions/workboard/src/cli.test.ts
[test] starting test/vitest/vitest.extensions.config.ts

 RUN  v4.1.8

 Test Files  1 passed (1)
      Tests  4 passed (4)
   Start at  18:10:43
   Duration  7.05s

Lockfile check

$ git diff --name-only
extensions/workboard/src/cli.ts

No lockfile changes — pnpm-lock.yaml is untouched.

Risk checklist

  • This change is backwards compatible — adds --include-archived flag for users who need the old "show all" behavior. Existing flags (--json, --board, --status) are unchanged.
  • This change has been tested with existing configurations — no configuration changes, all 107 existing tests pass without modification.
  • This change already has the compatibility path built in — the same includeArchived parameter pattern is already proven in production by the workboard_list tool.
  • I have updated relevant documentation — N/A, the new flag is self-documenting via workboard list --help.
  • Breaking changes (if any) are documented in Summary — no breaking changes. The --include-archived flag provides a seamless path to restore the previous behavior for automation scripts.

Current review state

  • Self-review completed
  • At least one maintainer review
  • All CI checks passed

Thanks for the context here. I swept through the related work, and this is now duplicate or superseded.

Close as superseded: this branch targets a real Workboard CLI bug, but it narrows default JSON output and an older proof-positive JSON-preserving PR is the safer canonical landing path.

Root-cause cluster
Relationship: superseded
Canonical: #94562
Summary: This PR and the canonical PR target the same Workboard CLI archived-card visibility bug; the canonical PR is older, open, proof-positive, and preserves JSON compatibility.

Members:

Proposal only: this assessment does not dispatch repair, suppress jobs, mutate sibling items, close, or merge anything.

Canonical path: Keep #94562 as the canonical JSON-preserving Workboard CLI fix, then close duplicate same-root PRs and the linked issue after the selected fix lands.

So I’m closing this here and keeping the remaining discussion on #94562.

Review details

Best possible solution:

Keep #94562 as the canonical JSON-preserving Workboard CLI fix, then close duplicate same-root PRs and the linked issue after the selected fix lands.

Do we have a high-confidence way to reproduce the issue?

Yes. Source inspection of current main and v2026.6.9 shows terminal openclaw workboard list filters only by status, while the Workboard tool and slash-command list paths hide archived cards by default.

Is this the best way to solve the issue?

No for this branch as the landing path. Filtering at the CLI presentation boundary is right, but this PR filters before JSON output and is superseded by a JSON-preserving candidate.

Security review:

Security review cleared: The diff only changes Workboard CLI filtering in one TypeScript file and adds no dependency, workflow, secret, install, package, or code-execution surface.

AGENTS.md: found and applied where relevant.

What I checked:

Likely related people:

  • steipete: GitHub commit metadata maps the Workboard CLI and agent-tool feature commits to this account, covering the two surfaces involved in the mismatch. (role: feature-history owner; confidence: high; commits: ed46e62bcc5d, f8b566b9c1df, 61031d1b1cec; files: extensions/workboard/src/cli.ts, extensions/workboard/src/tools.ts, extensions/workboard/src/command.ts)
  • vincentkoc: Current-main blame attributes the present Workboard CLI, tool, and slash-command snapshots to a recent commit by this account, while deeper provenance points to earlier Workboard feature commits. (role: recent area contributor; confidence: medium; commits: ebb670b20863, c645ec4555c0; files: extensions/workboard/src/cli.ts, extensions/workboard/src/tools.ts, extensions/workboard/src/command.ts)
  • ZengWen-DT: This account authored the older open canonical PR that fixes the same Workboard CLI archived-card issue with JSON preservation, docs, tests, and real terminal proof. (role: likely follow-up owner; confidence: high; commits: c2fec1243ff7; files: extensions/workboard/src/cli.ts, extensions/workboard/src/cli.test.ts, docs/cli/workboard.md)

Closing this PR as it is superseded by #94562 (which is already at status: 👀 ready for maintainer look and preserves JSON compatibility per ClawSweeper's assessment). The canonical path uses the older candidate that filters archived cards after the JSON output boundary, keeping default JSON machine output intact.
