description: >
  Dispatch to OpenClaw eval agent: Per-session workspace isolation, no shared state
  leakage. How does isolation work at file/process level? What prevents cross-agent
  state leakage? Compare to our .context/working/ + task focus model + session-stamped
  focus (T-560). Write findings. Review with human.

# T-564: OpenClaw comparative: agent isolation and session management

## Problem Statement

Compare OpenClaw's agent isolation (session keys, channel boundaries) vs ours (process isolation, T-560 stamping). See `docs/reports/T-564-agent-isolation.md`.

## Acceptance Criteria

- [x] Problem statement validated
- [x] Assumptions tested
- [x] Go/No-Go decision made (NO-GO — covered by T-582)

## Go/No-Go Criteria

**GO if:** Need additional isolation beyond T-582. **NO-GO if:** T-582 covers it (validated).

## Verification

<!-- Shell commands that MUST pass before work-completed. One per line.
     Lines starting with # are comments. Empty lines ignored.
     The completion gate runs each command — if any exits non-zero, completion is blocked.
     For inception tasks, verification is often not needed (decisions, not code).
-->

## Decisions

<!-- Record decisions ONLY when choosing between alternatives.
     Skip for tasks with no meaningful choices.
     Format:
     ### [date] — [topic]
     - **Chose:** [what was decided]
     - **Why:** [rationale]
     - **Rejected:** [alternatives and why not]
-->

## Decision

<!-- Filled at completion via: fw inception decide T-XXX go|no-go --rationale "..." -->

## Updates

<!-- Auto-populated by git mining at task completion.
     Manual entries optional during execution. -->
