Conversation
When ClaudeClaw runs inside or downstream of another Claude Code session (common with PM2/systemd services started from an interactive CC terminal), the inherited env contains CLAUDECODE=1 plus other CLAUDE_CODE_* markers. The vendored CLI in claude-agent-sdk aborts with "Claude Code cannot be launched inside another Claude Code session" and the bot replies "subprocess failed to start" for every message. Strip 7 nested-session marker vars from sdkEnv before passing it to query() so the SDK subprocess runs clean. Repro: start PM2 from inside a Claude Code terminal, send any message to the bot; logs show exit code 1 at sdk.mjs. After this fix: bot responds normally.

Problem
When ClaudeClaw is launched from inside an active Claude Code session (e.g. spawned by PM2 from a shell where Claude Code was running, or invoked as a child of another CC session), the vendored CLI aborts with:
This is because
@anthropic-ai/claude-agent-sdk'squery()inheritsprocess.env, which includes markers that the CLI reads to detect nested sessions:CLAUDECODECLAUDE_CODE_ENTRYPOINTCLAUDE_CODE_EXECPATHCLAUDE_AGENT_SDK_VERSIONCLAUDE_CODE_SDK_HAS_OAUTH_REFRESHCLAUDE_CODE_PROVIDER_MANAGED_BY_HOSTCLAUDE_INTERNAL_FC_OVERRIDESSince ClaudeClaw is itself an orchestrator that spawns the SDK CLI, those markers are stale — they describe the parent shell, not the ClaudeClaw runtime.
Fix
Build a sanitized
sdkEnvby filtering those keys out ofprocess.envbefore passing toquery(). Small, surgical change; no behavior change for normal (non-nested) launches.Test plan
Context
Found while deploying ClaudeClaw v1.1.0 as a Telegram bot (`@timecm_BOT`) on a Windows workstation where Claude Code was the parent shell. Root cause confirmed by inspecting the vendored `node_modules/@anthropic-ai/claude-code/cli.js` nested-session check.
