Agent Fault Isolation Patterns

Design patterns for isolating faults in multi-agent systems: bulkhead partitioning to prevent cascading failures, timeout hierarchies aligned with context budgets, and retry budgets shared across the agent call tree. Ensures one failing subagent cannot exhaust the orchestrator context or token allowance.

Commands

$ openclaw agent run --bulkhead-size 3 --timeout-hierarchy strict
$ openclaw config set agent.retry_budget_shared true
$ openclaw agent debug --show-fault-isolation-log
