Cancel Dispatch Run

Cancel an active interactive dispatch run by run-id from slash command cancel. Use when user wants to stop a dispatchi or ralph-loop task immediately.

Run {baseDir}/scripts/run_cancel.sh with user args.

Contract

• Format: /cancel <run-id>
• Also supports: /cancel <project>/<run-id>

Local config

• optional env file: ${OPENCLAW_DISPATCH_ENV:-<workspace>/skills/dispatch.env.local}
• supports OpenClaw skills.entries.cancel.env injection
• script is self-contained

Security disclosure

• Reads only allowlisted env keys from dispatch.env.local using key=value parsing (no source).
• Sends tmux keystrokes only to the run session resolved from local metadata.
• Updates local run metadata (status=cancelled, exit_code=130).

Behavior

1. Resolve run-id to exactly one result directory.
2. Send /ralph-loop:cancel-ralph to that tmux session.
3. Perform hard-cancel by requesting /exit and killing tmux session.
4. Return success or precise error.
