OpenClaw Signals: Task Isolation, Credential Scrubbing, and Scheduler Backpressure

Tools

PR #321: Task-Level Credential Isolation for Worker Processes

This PR enforces per-task credential scoping so a single compromised task can't leak secrets across the entire worker pool. If you're running multi-tenant workloads, this is a must-have security boundary.

PR #318: Workload Priority Classes for Task Scheduling

This introduces a priority class system where critical tasks get preemptive scheduling over background jobs. Think of it as QoS for your task queue, letting you guarantee latency SLOs without manual queue wrangling.

Issue #1549: Structured Secret Scrubbing in Structured Logs

The discussion proposes a formal scrubbing layer that redacts secrets from structured log output before it hits disk. This closes a real gap where masked fields in event payloads still leak through debug logs.

Issue #1540: Health-Check Probe Timeout Drift Under Load

A bug report showing health-check probes timeout inconsistently when the scheduler is under heavy load, causing false-positive node evictions. Worth tracking if you rely on automated failover in production clusters.

Issue #1545: Scheduler Backpressure Tuning and Queue Depth Limits

A proposal to make scheduler backpressure configurable with per-queue depth limits and adaptive throttling. For builders pushing high throughput, this prevents silent queue bloat and OOM cascades under load.
