 - If a subagent model choice causes execution/auth issues, prefer retrying implementation work on Codex GPT-5.4.
 - If a fresh implementation subagent stops making crisp progress, inspect once; if it is looping, not updating `WIP.md`, or returns an unusable result, kill it, verify the workspace directly, and finish the pass in the main session.
 - Monitoring cadence for fresh implementation subagents: first routine check at ~5 minutes if still running, inspect history at ~10 minutes, treat ~12/15 minutes as the suspicious/intervene threshold for narrow passes and ~20/25 minutes for medium bounded passes unless recent inspection shows crisp progress.
+- Will explicitly asked on 2026-03-13 for more frequent status checks on active subagent work; when a subagent is running on a live implementation/debug pass, check earlier and intervene sooner instead of waiting for long drift windows.
 
 ## Infrastructure notes worth remembering
 - Full `~/.openclaw` backups upload to MinIO bucket `zap` and are scheduled via OS cron every 6 hours.

 - Side note: unrelated dirty `/subagents log` UX changes in `external/openclaw-upstream` regression-passed `src/auto-reply/reply/commands.test.ts` (44 tests) but were intentionally left out-of-scope for this focused reliability pass.
 - Will also explicitly requested that zap keep a light eye on active subagents and check whether they look stuck instead of assuming they are fine until completion.
 - Will explicitly reinforced on 2026-03-13 that once planning is done, zap should use subagents ASAP and start implementation in a fresh session rather than continuing to implement inside the long-lived main chat.
