# Session Management
CLAWDIS keeps lightweight session state so your agent can remember context between messages. Sessions are stored in a small JSON file and expire automatically after idle time or when you reset them.
## Where sessions live
- Default path: `~/.clawdis/sessions.json` (legacy: `~/.warelay/sessions.json`).
- Override with `inbound.reply.session.store` in your config if you want a custom location.
- The file is a plain map of `sessionKey -> { sessionId, updatedAt, ... }`; it is safe to delete if you want a full reset.
## How session keys are chosen
- Direct chats: normalized E.164 sender number (e.g., `+15551234567`).
- Group chats: `group:<whatsapp-jid>` so group history stays isolated from DMs.
- Global mode: set `inbound.reply.session.scope = "global"` to force a single shared session for all chats.
- Unknown senders fall back to `unknown`.
## When sessions reset
- Idle timeout: `inbound.reply.session.idleMinutes` (default 60). If no messages arrive within this window, a new `sessionId` is created on the next message.
- Reset triggers: `inbound.reply.session.resetTriggers` (default `['/new']`). Sending exactly `/new` or `/new <text>` starts a fresh session and passes the remaining text to the agent.
- Manual nuke: delete the store file or remove specific keys with `jq`/your editor; a new file is created on the next message.
## Configuration recap
```json5
// ~/.clawdis/clawdis.json
{
inbound: {
reply: {
session: {
scope: "per-sender", // or "global"
resetTriggers: ["/new"], // additional triggers allowed
idleMinutes: 120, // extend or shrink timeout (min 1)
store: "~/state/clawdis-sessions.json" // optional custom path
}
}
}
}
```
Other session-related behaviors:
- `thinkingLevel` and `verboseLevel` persist per session so inline directives stick until the session resets.
- Heartbeats reuse the existing session for a recipient when available (good for keeping context warm).
## Inspecting sessions
- `clawdis status` shows the session store path, total count, and the five most recent keys with ages.
- `clawdis sessions` lists every session (filter with `--active <minutes>` or use `--json` for scripts). It also reports token usage per session; set `inbound.reply.agent.contextTokens` to see the budget percentage (defaults to ~200k tokens for Opus 4.5 via pi-ai defaults).
- For a deeper look, open the JSON store directly; the keys match the rules above.
## Tips
- Keep groups isolated: mention-based triggers plus the `group:<jid>` session key prevent group traffic from contaminating your DM history.
- If you automate cleanup, prefer deleting specific keys instead of the whole file to keep other conversations intact.
