+# PR Workflow for Maintainers
+
+Please read this in full and do not skip sections.
+This is the single source of truth for the maintainer PR workflow.
+
+## Triage order
+
+Process PRs **oldest to newest**. Older PRs are more likely to have merge conflicts and stale dependencies; resolving them first keeps the queue healthy and avoids snowballing rebase pain.
+
+## Working rule
+
+Skills execute workflow. Maintainers provide judgment.
+Always pause between skills to evaluate technical direction, not just command success.
+
+These three skills must be used in order:
+
+1. `review-pr` — review only, produce findings
+2. `prepare-pr` — rebase, fix, gate, push to PR head branch
+3. `merge-pr` — squash-merge, verify MERGED state, clean up
+
+They are necessary, but not sufficient. Maintainers must steer between steps and understand the code before moving forward.
+
+Treat PRs as reports first, code second.
+If submitted code is low quality, ignore it and implement the best solution for the problem.
+
+Do not continue if you cannot verify the problem is real or test the fix.
+
+## Coding Agent
+
+Use ChatGPT 5.3 Codex High. Fall back to 5.2 Codex High or 5.3 Codex Medium if necessary.
+
+## PR quality bar
+
+- Do not trust PR code by default.
+- Do not merge changes you cannot validate with a reproducible problem and a tested fix.
+- Keep types strict. Do not use `any` in implementation code.
+- Keep external-input boundaries typed and validated, including CLI input, environment variables, network payloads, and tool output.
+- Keep implementations properly scoped. Fix root causes, not local symptoms.
+- Identify and reuse canonical sources of truth so behavior does not drift across the codebase.
+- Harden changes. Always evaluate security impact and abuse paths.
+- Understand the system before changing it. Never make the codebase messier just to clear a PR queue.
+
+## Rebase and conflict resolution
+
+Before any substantive review or prep work, **always rebase the PR branch onto current `main` and resolve merge conflicts first**. A PR that cannot cleanly rebase is not ready for review — fix conflicts before evaluating correctness.
+
+- During `prepare-pr`: rebase onto `main` as the first step, before fixing findings or running gates.
+- If conflicts are complex or touch areas you do not understand, stop and escalate.
+- Prefer **rebase** for linear history; **squash** when commit history is messy or unhelpful.
+
+## Commit and changelog rules
+
+- Create commits with `scripts/committer "<msg>" <file...>`; avoid manual `git add`/`git commit` so staging stays scoped.
+- Follow concise, action-oriented commit messages (e.g., `CLI: add verbose flag to send`).
+- During `prepare-pr`, use this commit subject format: `fix: <summary> (openclaw#<PR>) thanks @<pr-author>`.
+- Group related changes; avoid bundling unrelated refactors.
+- Changelog workflow: keep the latest released version at the top (no `Unreleased`); after publishing, bump the version and start a new top section.
+- When working on a PR: add a changelog entry with the PR number and thank the contributor.
+- When working on an issue: reference the issue in the changelog entry.
+- Pure test additions/fixes generally do **not** need a changelog entry unless they alter user-facing behavior or the user asks for one.
+
+## Co-contributor and clawtributors
+
+- If we squash, add the PR author as a co-contributor in the commit body using a `Co-authored-by:` trailer.
+- When maintainer prepares and merges the PR, add the maintainer as an additional `Co-authored-by:` trailer too.
+- Avoid `--auto` merges for maintainer landings. Merge only after checks are green so the maintainer account is the actor and attribution is deterministic.
+- For squash merges, set `--author-email` to a reviewer-owned email with fallback candidates; if merge fails due to author-email validation, retry once with the next candidate.
+- If you review a PR and later do work on it, land via merge/squash (no direct-main commits) and always add the PR author as a co-contributor.
+- When merging a PR: leave a PR comment that explains exactly what we did, include the SHA hashes, and record the comment URL in the final report.
+- When merging a PR from a new contributor: run `bun scripts/update-clawtributors.ts` to add their avatar to the README "Thanks to all clawtributors" list, then commit the regenerated README.
+
+## Review mode vs landing mode
+
+- **Review mode (PR link only):** read `gh pr view`/`gh pr diff`; **do not** switch branches; **do not** change code.
+- **Landing mode (exception path):** use only when normal `review-pr -> prepare-pr -> merge-pr` flow cannot safely preserve attribution or cannot satisfy branch protection. Create an integration branch from `main`, bring in PR commits (**prefer rebase** for linear history; **merge allowed** when complexity/conflicts make it safer), apply fixes, add changelog (+ thanks + PR #), run full gate **locally before committing** (`pnpm build && pnpm check && pnpm test`), commit, merge back to `main`, then `git switch main` (never stay on a topic branch after landing). Important: the contributor needs to be in the git graph after this!
+
+## Pre-review safety checks
+
+- Before starting a review when a GH Issue/PR is pasted: use an isolated `.worktrees/pr-<PR>` checkout from `origin/main`. Do not require a clean main checkout, and do not run `git pull` in a dirty main checkout.
+- PR review calls: prefer a single `gh pr view --json ...` to batch metadata/comments; run `gh pr diff` only when needed.
+- PRs should summarize scope, note testing performed, and mention any user-facing changes or new flags.
+- Read `docs/help/submitting-a-pr.md` ([Submitting a PR](https://docs.openclaw.ai/help/submitting-a-pr)) for what we expect from contributors.
+
+## Unified workflow
+
+Entry criteria:
+
+- PR URL/number is known.
+- Problem statement is clear enough to attempt reproduction.
+- A realistic verification path exists (tests, integration checks, or explicit manual validation).
+
+### 1) `review-pr`
+
+Purpose:
+
+- Review only: correctness, value, security risk, tests, docs, and changelog impact.
+- Produce structured findings and a recommendation.
+
+Expected output:
+
+- Recommendation: ready, needs work, needs discussion, or close.
+- `.local/review.md` with actionable findings.
+
+Maintainer checkpoint before `prepare-pr`:
+
+```
+What problem are they trying to solve?
+What is the most optimal implementation?
+Can we fix up everything?
+Do we have any questions?
+```
+
+Stop and escalate instead of continuing if:
+
+- The problem cannot be reproduced or confirmed.
+- The proposed PR scope does not match the stated problem.
+- The design introduces unresolved security or trust-boundary concerns.
+
+### 2) `prepare-pr`
+
+Purpose:
+
+- Make the PR merge-ready on its head branch.
+- Rebase onto current `main` first, then fix blocker/important findings, then run gates.
+- In fresh worktrees, bootstrap dependencies before local gates (`pnpm install --frozen-lockfile`).
+
+Expected output:
+
+- Updated code and tests on the PR head branch.
+- `.local/prep.md` with changes, verification, and current HEAD SHA.
+- Final status: `PR is ready for /mergepr`.
+
+Maintainer checkpoint before `merge-pr`:
+
+```
+Is this the most optimal implementation?
+Is the code properly scoped?
+Is the code properly reusing existing logic in the codebase?
+Is the code properly typed?
+Is the code hardened?
+Do we have enough tests?
+Do we need regression tests?
+Are tests using fake timers where appropriate? (e.g., debounce/throttle, retry backoff, timeout branches, delayed callbacks, polling loops)
+Do not add performative tests, ensure tests are real and there are no regressions.
+Do you see any follow-up refactors we should do?
+Take your time, fix it properly, refactor if necessary.
+Did any changes introduce any potential security vulnerabilities?
+```
+
+Stop and escalate instead of continuing if:
+
+- You cannot verify behavior changes with meaningful tests or validation.
+- Fixing findings requires broad architecture changes outside safe PR scope.
+- Security hardening requirements remain unresolved.
+
+### 3) `merge-pr`
+
+Purpose:
+
+- Merge only after review and prep artifacts are present and checks are green.
+- Use deterministic squash merge flow (`--match-head-commit` + explicit subject/body with co-author trailer), then verify the PR ends in `MERGED` state.
+- If no required checks are configured on the PR, treat that as acceptable and continue after branch-up-to-date validation.
+
+Go or no-go checklist before merge:
+
+- All BLOCKER and IMPORTANT findings are resolved.
+- Verification is meaningful and regression risk is acceptably low.
+- Docs and changelog are updated when required.
+- Required CI checks are green and the branch is not behind `main`.
+
+Expected output:
+
+- Successful merge commit and recorded merge SHA.
+- Worktree cleanup after successful merge.
+- Comment on PR indicating merge was successful.
+
+Maintainer checkpoint after merge:
+
+- Were any refactors intentionally deferred and now need follow-up issue(s)?
+- Did this reveal broader architecture or test gaps we should address?
+- Run `bun scripts/update-clawtributors.ts` if the contributor is new.

+description: Merge a GitHub PR via squash after /prepare-pr. Use when asked to merge a ready PR. Do not push to main or modify code. Ensure the PR ends in MERGED state and clean up worktrees after success.
+---
+
+# Merge PR
+
+## Overview
+
+Merge a prepared PR via deterministic squash merge (`--match-head-commit` + explicit co-author trailer), then clean up the worktree after success.
+
+## Inputs
+
+- Ask for PR number or URL.
+- If missing, use `.local/prep.env` from the worktree if present.
+- If ambiguous, ask.
+
+## Safety
+
+- Use `gh pr merge --squash` as the only path to `main`.
+- Do not run `git push` at all during merge.
+- Do not use `gh pr merge --auto` for maintainer landings.
+- Do not run gateway stop commands. Do not kill processes. Do not touch port 18792.
+
+## Execution Rule
+
+- Execute the workflow. Do not stop after printing the TODO checklist.
+- If delegating, require the delegate to run commands and capture outputs.
+
+## Known Footguns
+
+- If you see "fatal: not a git repository", you are in the wrong directory. Move to the repo root and retry.
+- Read `.local/review.md`, `.local/prep.md`, and `.local/prep.env` in the worktree. Do not skip.
+- Always merge with `--match-head-commit "$PREP_HEAD_SHA"` to prevent racing stale or changed heads.
+- Clean up `.worktrees/pr-<PR>` only after confirmed `MERGED`.
+
+## Completion Criteria
+
+- Ensure `gh pr merge` succeeds.
+- Ensure PR state is `MERGED`, never `CLOSED`.
+- Record the merge SHA.
+- Leave a PR comment with merge SHA and prepared head SHA, and capture the comment URL.
+- Run cleanup only after merge success.
+
+## First: Create a TODO Checklist
+
+Create a checklist of all merge steps, print it, then continue and execute the commands.
+
+## Setup: Use a Worktree
+
+Use an isolated worktree for all merge work.
+
+```sh
+repo_root=$(git rev-parse --show-toplevel)
+cd "$repo_root"
+gh auth status
+
+WORKTREE_DIR=".worktrees/pr-<PR>"
+cd "$WORKTREE_DIR"
+```
+
+Run all commands inside the worktree directory.
+
+## Load Local Artifacts (Mandatory)
+
+Expect these files from earlier steps:
+
+- `.local/review.md` from `/review-pr`
+- `.local/prep.md` from `/prepare-pr`
+- `.local/prep.env` from `/prepare-pr`
+
+```sh
+ls -la .local || true
+
+for required in .local/review.md .local/prep.md .local/prep.env; do
+  if [ ! -f "$required" ]; then
+    echo "Missing $required. Stop and run /review-pr then /prepare-pr."
+    exit 1
+  fi
+done
+
+sed -n '1,120p' .local/review.md
+sed -n '1,120p' .local/prep.md
+source .local/prep.env
+```
+
+## Steps
+
+1. Identify PR meta and verify prepared SHA still matches
+
+```sh
+pr_meta_json=$(gh pr view <PR> --json number,title,state,isDraft,author,headRefName,headRefOid,baseRefName,headRepository,body)
+printf '%s\n' "$pr_meta_json" | jq '{number,title,state,isDraft,author:.author.login,head:.headRefName,headSha:.headRefOid,base:.baseRefName,headRepo:.headRepository.nameWithOwner,body}'
+pr_title=$(printf '%s\n' "$pr_meta_json" | jq -r .title)
+pr_number=$(printf '%s\n' "$pr_meta_json" | jq -r .number)
+pr_head_sha=$(printf '%s\n' "$pr_meta_json" | jq -r .headRefOid)
+contrib=$(printf '%s\n' "$pr_meta_json" | jq -r .author.login)
+is_draft=$(printf '%s\n' "$pr_meta_json" | jq -r .isDraft)
+
+if [ "$is_draft" = "true" ]; then
+  echo "ERROR: PR is draft. Stop and run /prepare-pr after draft is cleared."
+  exit 1
+fi
+
+if [ "$pr_head_sha" != "$PREP_HEAD_SHA" ]; then
+  echo "ERROR: PR head changed after /prepare-pr (expected $PREP_HEAD_SHA, got $pr_head_sha). Re-run /prepare-pr."
+  exit 1
+fi
+```
+
+2. Run sanity checks
+
+Stop if any are true:
+
+- PR is a draft.
+- Required checks are failing.
+- Branch is behind main.
+
+If checks are pending, wait for completion before merging. Do not use `--auto`.
+If no required checks are configured, continue.
+
+```sh
+gh pr checks <PR> --required --watch --fail-fast || true
+checks_json=$(gh pr checks <PR> --required --json name,bucket,state 2>/tmp/gh-checks.err || true)
+if [ -z "$checks_json" ]; then
+  checks_json='[]'
+fi
+required_count=$(printf '%s\n' "$checks_json" | jq 'length')
+if [ "$required_count" -eq 0 ]; then
+  echo "No required checks configured for this PR."
+fi
+printf '%s\n' "$checks_json" | jq -r '.[] | "\(.bucket)\t\(.name)\t\(.state)"'
+
+failed_required=$(printf '%s\n' "$checks_json" | jq '[.[] | select(.bucket=="fail")] | length')
+pending_required=$(printf '%s\n' "$checks_json" | jq '[.[] | select(.bucket=="pending")] | length')
+if [ "$failed_required" -gt 0 ]; then
+  echo "Required checks are failing, run /prepare-pr."
+  exit 1
+fi
+if [ "$pending_required" -gt 0 ]; then
+  echo "Required checks are still pending, retry /merge-pr when green."
+  exit 1
+fi
+
+git fetch origin main
+git fetch origin pull/<PR>/head:pr-<PR> --force
+git merge-base --is-ancestor origin/main pr-<PR> || (echo "PR branch is behind main, run /prepare-pr" && exit 1)
+```
+
+If anything is failing or behind, stop and say to run `/prepare-pr`.
+
+3. Merge PR with explicit attribution metadata
+
+```sh
+reviewer=$(gh api user --jq .login)
+reviewer_id=$(gh api user --jq .id)
+coauthor_email=${COAUTHOR_EMAIL:-"$contrib@users.noreply.github.com"}
+if [ -z "$coauthor_email" ] || [ "$coauthor_email" = "null" ]; then
+  contrib_id=$(gh api users/$contrib --jq .id)
+  coauthor_email="${contrib_id}+${contrib}@users.noreply.github.com"
+fi
+
+gh_email=$(gh api user --jq '.email // ""' || true)
+git_email=$(git config user.email || true)
+mapfile -t reviewer_email_candidates < <(
+  printf '%s\n' \
+    "$gh_email" \
+    "$git_email" \
+    "${reviewer_id}+${reviewer}@users.noreply.github.com" \
+    "${reviewer}@users.noreply.github.com" | awk 'NF && !seen[$0]++'
+)
+[ "${#reviewer_email_candidates[@]}" -gt 0 ] || { echo "ERROR: could not resolve reviewer author email"; exit 1; }
+reviewer_email="${reviewer_email_candidates[0]}"
+
+cat > .local/merge-body.txt <<EOF
+Merged via /review-pr -> /prepare-pr -> /merge-pr.
+
+Prepared head SHA: $PREP_HEAD_SHA
+Co-authored-by: $contrib <$coauthor_email>
+Co-authored-by: $reviewer <$reviewer_email>
+Reviewed-by: @$reviewer
+EOF
+
+run_merge() {
+  local email="$1"
+  local stderr_file
+  stderr_file=$(mktemp)
+  if gh pr merge <PR> \
+    --squash \
+    --delete-branch \
+    --match-head-commit "$PREP_HEAD_SHA" \
+    --author-email "$email" \
+    --subject "$pr_title (#$pr_number)" \
+    --body-file .local/merge-body.txt \
+    2> >(tee "$stderr_file" >&2)
+  then
+    rm -f "$stderr_file"
+    return 0
+  fi
+  merge_err=$(cat "$stderr_file")
+  rm -f "$stderr_file"
+  return 1
+}
+
+merge_err=""
+selected_merge_author_email="$reviewer_email"
+if ! run_merge "$selected_merge_author_email"; then
+  if printf '%s\n' "$merge_err" | rg -qi 'author.?email|email.*associated|associated.*email|invalid.*email' && [ "${#reviewer_email_candidates[@]}" -ge 2 ]; then
+    selected_merge_author_email="${reviewer_email_candidates[1]}"
+    echo "Retrying once with fallback author email: $selected_merge_author_email"
+    run_merge "$selected_merge_author_email" || { echo "ERROR: merge failed after fallback retry"; exit 1; }
+  else
+    echo "ERROR: merge failed"
+    exit 1
+  fi
+fi
+```
+
+Retry is allowed exactly once when the error is clearly author-email validation.
+
+4. Verify PR state and capture merge SHA
+
+```sh
+state=$(gh pr view <PR> --json state --jq .state)
+if [ "$state" != "MERGED" ]; then
+  echo "Merge not finalized yet (state=$state), waiting up to 15 minutes..."
+  for _ in $(seq 1 90); do
+    sleep 10
+    state=$(gh pr view <PR> --json state --jq .state)
+    if [ "$state" = "MERGED" ]; then
+      break
+    fi
+  done
+fi
+
+if [ "$state" != "MERGED" ]; then
+  echo "ERROR: PR state is $state after waiting. Leave worktree and retry /merge-pr later."
+  exit 1
+fi
+
+merge_sha=$(gh pr view <PR> --json mergeCommit --jq '.mergeCommit.oid')
+if [ -z "$merge_sha" ] || [ "$merge_sha" = "null" ]; then
+  echo "ERROR: merge commit SHA missing."
+  exit 1
+fi
+
+commit_body=$(gh api repos/:owner/:repo/commits/$merge_sha --jq .commit.message)
+contrib=${contrib:-$(gh pr view <PR> --json author --jq .author.login)}
+reviewer=${reviewer:-$(gh api user --jq .login)}
+printf '%s\n' "$commit_body" | rg -q "^Co-authored-by: $contrib <" || { echo "ERROR: missing PR author co-author trailer"; exit 1; }
+printf '%s\n' "$commit_body" | rg -q "^Co-authored-by: $reviewer <" || { echo "ERROR: missing reviewer co-author trailer"; exit 1; }
+
+echo "merge_sha=$merge_sha"
+```
+
+5. PR comment
+
+Use a multiline heredoc with interpolation enabled.
+
+```sh
+ok=0
+comment_output=""
+for _ in 1 2 3; do
+  if comment_output=$(gh pr comment <PR> -F - <<EOF
+Merged via squash.
+
+- Prepared head SHA: $PREP_HEAD_SHA
+- Merge commit: $merge_sha
+
+Thanks @$contrib!
+EOF
+); then
+    ok=1
+    break
+  fi
+  sleep 2
+done
+
+[ "$ok" -eq 1 ] || { echo "ERROR: failed to post PR comment after retries"; exit 1; }
+comment_url=$(printf '%s\n' "$comment_output" | rg -o 'https://github.com/[^ ]+/pull/[0-9]+#issuecomment-[0-9]+' -m1 || true)
+[ -n "$comment_url" ] || comment_url="unresolved"
+echo "comment_url=$comment_url"
+```
+
+6. Clean up worktree only on success
+
+Run cleanup only if step 4 returned `MERGED`.
+
+```sh
+cd "$repo_root"
+git worktree remove ".worktrees/pr-<PR>" --force
+git branch -D temp/pr-<PR> 2>/dev/null || true
+git branch -D pr-<PR> 2>/dev/null || true
+git branch -D pr-<PR>-prep 2>/dev/null || true
+```
+
+## Guardrails
+
+- Worktree only.
+- Do not close PRs.
+- End in MERGED state.
+- Clean up only after merge success.
+- Never push to main. Use `gh pr merge --squash` only.
+- Do not run `git push` at all in this command.

+description: Prepare a GitHub PR for merge by rebasing onto main, fixing review findings, running gates, committing fixes, and pushing to the PR head branch. Use after /review-pr. Never merge or push to main.
+---
+
+# Prepare PR
+
+## Overview
+
+Prepare a PR head branch for merge with review fixes, green gates, and deterministic merge handoff artifacts.
+
+## Inputs
+
+- Ask for PR number or URL.
+- If missing, use `.local/pr-meta.env` from the PR worktree if present.
+- If ambiguous, ask.
+
+## Safety
+
+- Never push to `main` or `origin/main`. Push only to the PR head branch.
+- Never run `git push` without explicit remote and branch. Do not run bare `git push`.
+- Do not run gateway stop commands. Do not kill processes. Do not touch port 18792.
+- Do not run `git clean -fdx`.
+- Do not run `git add -A` or `git add .`.
+
+## Execution Rule
+
+- Execute the workflow. Do not stop after printing the TODO checklist.
+- If delegating, require the delegate to run commands and capture outputs.
+
+## Completion Criteria
+
+- Rebase PR commits onto `origin/main`.
+- Fix all BLOCKER and IMPORTANT items from `.local/review.md`.
+- Commit prep changes with required subject format.
+- Run required gates and pass (`pnpm test` may be skipped only for high-confidence docs-only changes).
+- Push the updated HEAD back to the PR head branch.
+- Write `.local/prep.md` and `.local/prep.env`.
+- Output exactly: `PR is ready for /mergepr`.
+
+## First: Create a TODO Checklist
+
+Create a checklist of all prep steps, print it, then continue and execute the commands.
+
+## Setup: Use a Worktree
+
+Use an isolated worktree for all prep work.
+
+```sh
+repo_root=$(git rev-parse --show-toplevel)
+cd "$repo_root"
+gh auth status
+
+WORKTREE_DIR=".worktrees/pr-<PR>"
+if [ ! -d "$WORKTREE_DIR" ]; then
+  git fetch origin main
+  git worktree add "$WORKTREE_DIR" -b temp/pr-<PR> origin/main
+fi
+cd "$WORKTREE_DIR"
+mkdir -p .local
+```
+
+Run all commands inside the worktree directory.
+
+## Load Review Artifacts (Mandatory)
+
+```sh
+if [ ! -f .local/review.md ]; then
+  echo "Missing .local/review.md. Run /review-pr first and save findings."
+  exit 1
+fi
+
+if [ ! -f .local/pr-meta.env ]; then
+  echo "Missing .local/pr-meta.env. Run /review-pr first and save metadata."
+  exit 1
+fi
+
+sed -n '1,220p' .local/review.md
+source .local/pr-meta.env
+```
+
+## Steps
+
+1. Identify PR meta with one API call
+
+```sh
+pr_meta_json=$(gh pr view <PR> --json number,title,author,headRefName,headRefOid,baseRefName,headRepository,headRepositoryOwner,body)
+printf '%s\n' "$pr_meta_json" | jq '{number,title,author:.author.login,head:.headRefName,headSha:.headRefOid,base:.baseRefName,headRepo:.headRepository.nameWithOwner,headRepoOwner:.headRepositoryOwner.login,headRepoName:.headRepository.name,body}'
+
+pr_number=$(printf '%s\n' "$pr_meta_json" | jq -r .number)
+contrib=$(printf '%s\n' "$pr_meta_json" | jq -r .author.login)
+head=$(printf '%s\n' "$pr_meta_json" | jq -r .headRefName)
+pr_head_sha_before=$(printf '%s\n' "$pr_meta_json" | jq -r .headRefOid)
+head_owner=$(printf '%s\n' "$pr_meta_json" | jq -r '.headRepositoryOwner.login // empty')
+head_repo_name=$(printf '%s\n' "$pr_meta_json" | jq -r '.headRepository.name // empty')
+head_repo_url=$(printf '%s\n' "$pr_meta_json" | jq -r '.headRepository.url // empty')
+
+if [ -n "${PR_HEAD:-}" ] && [ "$head" != "$PR_HEAD" ]; then
+  echo "ERROR: PR head branch changed from $PR_HEAD to $head. Re-run /review-pr."
+  exit 1
+fi
+```
+
+2. Fetch PR head and rebase on latest `origin/main`
+
+```sh
+git fetch origin pull/<PR>/head:pr-<PR> --force
+git checkout -B pr-<PR>-prep pr-<PR>
+git fetch origin main
+git rebase origin/main
+```
+
+If conflicts happen:
+
+- Resolve each conflicted file.
+- Run `git add <resolved_file>` for each file.
+- Run `git rebase --continue`.
+
+If the rebase gets confusing or you resolve conflicts 3 or more times, stop and report.
+
+3. Fix issues from `.local/review.md`
+
+- Fix all BLOCKER and IMPORTANT items.
+- NITs are optional.
+- Keep scope tight.
+
+Keep a running log in `.local/prep.md`:
+
+- List which review items you fixed.
+- List which files you touched.
+- Note behavior changes.
+
+4. Optional quick feedback tests before full gates
+
+Targeted tests are optional quick feedback, not a substitute for full gates.
+
+If running targeted tests in a fresh worktree:
+
+```sh
+if [ ! -x node_modules/.bin/vitest ]; then
+  pnpm install --frozen-lockfile
+fi
+```
+
+5. Commit prep fixes with required subject format
+
+Use `scripts/committer` with explicit file paths.
+
+Required subject format:
+
+- `fix: <summary> (openclaw#<PR>) thanks @<author>`
+
+```sh
+commit_msg="fix: <summary> (openclaw#$pr_number) thanks @$contrib"
+scripts/committer "$commit_msg" <changed file 1> <changed file 2> ...
+```
+
+If there are no local changes, do not create a no-op commit.
+
+Post-commit validation (mandatory):
+
+```sh
+subject=$(git log -1 --pretty=%s)
+echo "$subject" | rg -q "openclaw#$pr_number" || { echo "ERROR: commit subject missing openclaw#$pr_number"; exit 1; }
+echo "$subject" | rg -q "thanks @$contrib" || { echo "ERROR: commit subject missing thanks @$contrib"; exit 1; }
+```
+
+6. Decide verification mode and run required gates before pushing
+
+If you are highly confident the change is docs-only, you may skip `pnpm test`.
+
+High-confidence docs-only criteria (all must be true):
+
+- Every changed file is documentation-only (`docs/**`, `README*.md`, `CHANGELOG.md`, `*.md`, `*.mdx`, `mintlify.json`, `docs.json`).
+- No code, runtime, test, dependency, or build config files changed (`src/**`, `extensions/**`, `apps/**`, `package.json`, lockfiles, TS/JS config, test files, scripts).
+- `.local/review.md` does not call for non-doc behavior fixes.
+
+Suggested check:
+
+```sh
+changed_files=$(git diff --name-only origin/main...HEAD)
+non_docs=$(printf "%s\n" "$changed_files" | grep -Ev '^(docs/|README.*\.md$|CHANGELOG\.md$|.*\.md$|.*\.mdx$|mintlify\.json$|docs\.json$)' || true)
+
+docs_only=false
+if [ -n "$changed_files" ] && [ -z "$non_docs" ]; then
+  docs_only=true
+fi
+
+echo "docs_only=$docs_only"
+```
+
+Bootstrap dependencies in a fresh worktree before gates:
+
+```sh
+if [ ! -d node_modules ]; then
+  pnpm install --frozen-lockfile
+fi
+```
+
+Run required gates:
+
+```sh
+pnpm build
+pnpm check
+
+if [ "$docs_only" = "true" ]; then
+  echo "Docs-only change detected with high confidence; skipping pnpm test." | tee -a .local/prep.md
+else
+  pnpm test
+fi
+```
+
+Require all required gates to pass. If something fails, fix, commit, and rerun. Allow at most 3 fix-and-rerun cycles.
+
+7. Push safely to the PR head branch
+
+Build `prhead` from owner/name first, then validate remote branch SHA before push.
+
+```sh
+if [ -n "$head_owner" ] && [ -n "$head_repo_name" ]; then
+  head_repo_push_url="https://github.com/$head_owner/$head_repo_name.git"
+elif [ -n "$head_repo_url" ] && [ "$head_repo_url" != "null" ]; then
+  case "$head_repo_url" in
+    *.git) head_repo_push_url="$head_repo_url" ;;
+    *) head_repo_push_url="$head_repo_url.git" ;;
+  esac
+else
+  echo "ERROR: unable to determine PR head repo push URL"
+  exit 1
+fi
+
+git remote add prhead "$head_repo_push_url" 2>/dev/null || git remote set-url prhead "$head_repo_push_url"
+
+echo "Pushing to branch: $head"
+if [ "$head" = "main" ] || [ "$head" = "master" ]; then
+  echo "ERROR: head branch is main/master. This is wrong. Stopping."
+  exit 1
+fi
+
+remote_sha=$(git ls-remote prhead "refs/heads/$head" | awk '{print $1}')
+if [ -z "$remote_sha" ]; then
+  echo "ERROR: remote branch refs/heads/$head not found on prhead"
+  exit 1
+fi
+if [ "$remote_sha" != "$pr_head_sha_before" ]; then
+  echo "ERROR: expected remote SHA $pr_head_sha_before, got $remote_sha. Re-fetch metadata and rebase first."
+  exit 1
+fi
+
+git push --force-with-lease=refs/heads/$head:$pr_head_sha_before prhead HEAD:$head || push_failed=1
+```
+
+If lease push fails because head moved, perform one automatic retry:
+
+```sh
+if [ "${push_failed:-0}" = "1" ]; then
+  echo "Lease push failed, retrying once with fresh PR head..."
+
+  pr_head_sha_before=$(gh pr view <PR> --json headRefOid --jq .headRefOid)
+  git fetch origin pull/<PR>/head:pr-<PR>-latest --force
+  git rebase pr-<PR>-latest
+
+  pnpm build
+  pnpm check
+  if [ "$docs_only" != "true" ]; then
+    pnpm test
+  fi
+
+  git push --force-with-lease=refs/heads/$head:$pr_head_sha_before prhead HEAD:$head
+fi
+```
+
+8. Verify PR head and base relation (Mandatory)
+
+```sh
+prep_head_sha=$(git rev-parse HEAD)
+pr_head_sha_after=$(gh pr view <PR> --json headRefOid --jq .headRefOid)
+
+if [ "$prep_head_sha" != "$pr_head_sha_after" ]; then
+  echo "ERROR: pushed head SHA does not match PR head SHA."
+  exit 1
+fi
+
+git fetch origin main
+git fetch origin pull/<PR>/head:pr-<PR>-verify --force
+git merge-base --is-ancestor origin/main pr-<PR>-verify && echo "PR is up to date with main" || (echo "ERROR: PR is still behind main, rebase again" && exit 1)
+git branch -D pr-<PR>-verify 2>/dev/null || true
+```
+
+9. Write prep summary artifacts (Mandatory)
+
+Write `.local/prep.md` and `.local/prep.env` for merge handoff.
+
+```sh
+contrib_id=$(gh api users/$contrib --jq .id)
+coauthor_email="${contrib_id}+${contrib}@users.noreply.github.com"
+
+cat > .local/prep.env <<EOF_ENV
+PR_NUMBER=$pr_number
+PR_AUTHOR=$contrib
+PR_HEAD=$head
+PR_HEAD_SHA_BEFORE=$pr_head_sha_before
+PREP_HEAD_SHA=$prep_head_sha
+COAUTHOR_EMAIL=$coauthor_email
+EOF_ENV
+
+ls -la .local/prep.md .local/prep.env
+wc -l .local/prep.md .local/prep.env
+```
+
+10. Output
+
+Include a diff stat summary:
+
+```sh
+git diff --stat origin/main..HEAD
+git diff --shortstat origin/main..HEAD
+```
+
+Report totals: X files changed, Y insertions(+), Z deletions(-).
+
+If gates passed and push succeeded, print exactly:
+
+```
+PR is ready for /mergepr
+```
+
+Otherwise, list remaining failures and stop.
+
+## Guardrails
+
+- Worktree only.
+- Do not delete the worktree on success. `/mergepr` may reuse it.
+- Do not run `gh pr merge`.
+- Never push to main. Only push to the PR head branch.
+- Run and pass all required gates before pushing. `pnpm test` may be skipped only for high-confidence docs-only changes, and the skip must be explicitly recorded in `.local/prep.md`.

+name: review-pr
+description: Review-only GitHub pull request analysis with the gh CLI. Use when asked to review a PR, provide structured feedback, or assess readiness to land. Do not merge, push, or make code changes you intend to keep.
+---
+
+# Review PR
+
+## Overview
+
+Perform a thorough review-only PR assessment and return a structured recommendation on readiness for /prepare-pr.
+
+## Inputs
+
+- Ask for PR number or URL.
+- If missing, always ask. Never auto-detect from conversation.
+- If ambiguous, ask.
+
+## Safety
+
+- Never push to `main` or `origin/main`, not during review, not ever.
+- Do not run `git push` at all during review. Treat review as read only.
+- Do not stop or kill the gateway. Do not run gateway stop commands. Do not kill processes on port 18792.
+
+## Execution Rule
+
+- Execute the workflow. Do not stop after printing the TODO checklist.
+- If delegating, require the delegate to run commands and capture outputs, not a plan.
+
+## Known Failure Modes
+
+- If you see "fatal: not a git repository", you are in the wrong directory. Move to the repository root and retry.
+- Do not stop after printing the checklist. That is not completion.
+
+## Writing Style for Output
+
+- Write casual and direct.
+- Avoid em dashes and en dashes. Use commas or separate sentences.
+
+## Completion Criteria
+
+- Run the commands in the worktree and inspect the PR directly.
+- Produce the structured review sections A through J.
+- Save the full review to `.local/review.md` inside the worktree.
+- Save PR metadata handoff to `.local/pr-meta.env` inside the worktree.
+
+## First: Create a TODO Checklist
+
+Create a checklist of all review steps, print it, then continue and execute the commands.
+
+## Setup: Use a Worktree
+
+Use an isolated worktree for all review work.
+
+```sh
+repo_root=$(git rev-parse --show-toplevel)
+cd "$repo_root"
+gh auth status
+
+WORKTREE_DIR=".worktrees/pr-<PR>"
+git fetch origin main
+
+# Reuse existing worktree if it exists, otherwise create new
+if [ -d "$WORKTREE_DIR" ]; then
+  git worktree list
+  cd "$WORKTREE_DIR"
+  git fetch origin main
+  git checkout -B temp/pr-<PR> origin/main
+else
+  git worktree add "$WORKTREE_DIR" -b temp/pr-<PR> origin/main
+  cd "$WORKTREE_DIR"
+fi
+
+# Create local scratch space that persists across /review-pr to /prepare-pr to /merge-pr
+mkdir -p .local
+```
+
+Run all commands inside the worktree directory.
+Start on `origin/main` so you can check for existing implementations before looking at PR code.
+
+## Steps
+
+1. Identify PR meta and context
+
+```sh
+pr_meta_json=$(gh pr view <PR> --json number,title,state,isDraft,author,baseRefName,headRefName,headRefOid,headRepository,url,body,labels,assignees,reviewRequests,files,additions,deletions,statusCheckRollup)
+printf '%s\n' "$pr_meta_json" | jq '{number,title,url,state,isDraft,author:.author.login,base:.baseRefName,head:.headRefName,headSha:.headRefOid,headRepo:.headRepository.nameWithOwner,additions,deletions,files:(.files|length),body}'
+
+cat > .local/pr-meta.env <<EOF
+PR_NUMBER=$(printf '%s\n' "$pr_meta_json" | jq -r .number)
+PR_URL=$(printf '%s\n' "$pr_meta_json" | jq -r .url)
+PR_AUTHOR=$(printf '%s\n' "$pr_meta_json" | jq -r .author.login)
+PR_BASE=$(printf '%s\n' "$pr_meta_json" | jq -r .baseRefName)
+PR_HEAD=$(printf '%s\n' "$pr_meta_json" | jq -r .headRefName)
+PR_HEAD_SHA=$(printf '%s\n' "$pr_meta_json" | jq -r .headRefOid)
+PR_HEAD_REPO=$(printf '%s\n' "$pr_meta_json" | jq -r .headRepository.nameWithOwner)
+EOF
+
+ls -la .local/pr-meta.env
+```
+
+2. Check if this already exists in main before looking at the PR branch
+
+- Identify the core feature or fix from the PR title and description.
+- Search for existing implementations using keywords from the PR title, changed file paths, and function or component names from the diff.
+
+```sh
+# Use keywords from the PR title and changed files
+rg -n "<keyword_from_pr_title>" -S src packages apps ui || true
+rg -n "<function_or_component_name>" -S src packages apps ui || true
+
+git log --oneline --all --grep="<keyword_from_pr_title>" | head -20
+```
+
+If it already exists, call it out as a BLOCKER or at least IMPORTANT.
+
+3. Claim the PR
+
+Assign yourself so others know someone is reviewing. Skip if the PR looks like spam or is a draft you plan to recommend closing.
+
+```sh
+gh_user=$(gh api user --jq .login)
+gh pr edit <PR> --add-assignee "$gh_user" || echo "Could not assign reviewer, continuing"
+```
+
+4. Read the PR description carefully
+
+Use the body from step 1. Summarize goal, scope, and missing context.
+
+5. Read the diff thoroughly
+
+Minimum:
+
+```sh
+gh pr diff <PR>
+```
+
+If you need full code context locally, fetch the PR head to a local ref and diff it. Do not create a merge commit.
+
+```sh
+git fetch origin pull/<PR>/head:pr-<PR> --force
+mb=$(git merge-base origin/main pr-<PR>)
+
+# Show only this PR patch relative to merge-base, not total branch drift
+git diff --stat "$mb"..pr-<PR>
+git diff "$mb"..pr-<PR>
+```
+
+If you want to browse the PR version of files directly, temporarily check out `pr-<PR>` in the worktree. Do not commit or push. Return to `temp/pr-<PR>` and reset to `origin/main` afterward.
+
+```sh
+# Use only if needed
+# git checkout pr-<PR>
+# git branch --show-current
+# ...inspect files...
+
+git checkout temp/pr-<PR>
+git checkout -B temp/pr-<PR> origin/main
+git branch --show-current
+```
+
+6. Validate the change is needed and valuable
+
+Be honest. Call out low value AI slop.
+
+7. Evaluate implementation quality
+
+Review correctness, design, performance, and ergonomics.
+
+8. Perform a security review
+
+Assume OpenClaw subagents run with full disk access, including git, gh, and shell. Check auth, input validation, secrets, dependencies, tool safety, and privacy.
+
+9. Review tests and verification
+
+Identify what exists, what is missing, and what would be a minimal regression test.
+
+If you run local tests in the worktree, bootstrap dependencies first:
+
+```sh
+if [ ! -x node_modules/.bin/vitest ]; then
+  pnpm install --frozen-lockfile
+fi
+```
+
+10. Check docs
+
+Check if the PR touches code with related documentation such as README, docs, inline API docs, or config examples.
+
+- If docs exist for the changed area and the PR does not update them, flag as IMPORTANT.
+- If the PR adds a new feature or config option with no docs, flag as IMPORTANT.
+- If the change is purely internal with no user-facing impact, skip this.
+
+11. Check changelog
+
+Check if `CHANGELOG.md` exists and whether the PR warrants an entry.
+
+- If the project has a changelog and the PR is user-facing, flag missing entry as IMPORTANT.
+- Leave the change for /prepare-pr, only flag it here.
+
+12. Answer the key question
+
+Decide if /prepare-pr can fix issues or the contributor must update the PR.
+
+13. Save findings to the worktree
+
+Write the full structured review sections A through J to `.local/review.md`.
+Create or overwrite the file and verify it exists and is non-empty.
+
+```sh
+ls -la .local/review.md
+wc -l .local/review.md
+```
+
+14. Output the structured review
+
+Produce a review that matches what you saved to `.local/review.md`.
+
+A) TL;DR recommendation
+
+- One of: READY FOR /prepare-pr | NEEDS WORK | NEEDS DISCUSSION | NOT USEFUL (CLOSE)
+- 1 to 3 sentences.
+
+B) What changed
+
+C) What is good
+
+D) Security findings
+
+E) Concerns or questions (actionable)
+
+- Numbered list.
+- Mark each item as BLOCKER, IMPORTANT, or NIT.
+- For each, point to file or area and propose a concrete fix.
+
+F) Tests
+
+G) Docs status
+
+- State if related docs are up to date, missing, or not applicable.
+
+H) Changelog
+
+- State if `CHANGELOG.md` needs an entry and which category.
+
+I) Follow ups (optional)
+
+J) Suggested PR comment (optional)
+
+## Guardrails
+
+- Worktree only.
+- Do not delete the worktree after review.
+- Review only, do not merge, do not push.

+# PR Workflow for Maintainers
+
+Please read this in full and do not skip sections.
+This is the single source of truth for the maintainer PR workflow.
+
+## Triage order
+
+Process PRs **oldest to newest**. Older PRs are more likely to have merge conflicts and stale dependencies; resolving them first keeps the queue healthy and avoids snowballing rebase pain.
+
+## Working rule
+
+Skills execute workflow. Maintainers provide judgment.
+Always pause between skills to evaluate technical direction, not just command success.
+
+These three skills must be used in order:
+
+1. `review-pr` — review only, produce findings
+2. `prepare-pr` — rebase, fix, gate, push to PR head branch
+3. `merge-pr` — squash-merge, verify MERGED state, clean up
+
+They are necessary, but not sufficient. Maintainers must steer between steps and understand the code before moving forward.
+
+Treat PRs as reports first, code second.
+If submitted code is low quality, ignore it and implement the best solution for the problem.
+
+Do not continue if you cannot verify the problem is real or test the fix.
+
+## Script-first contract
+
+Skill runs should invoke these wrappers automatically. You only need to run them manually when debugging or doing an explicit script-only run:
+
+- `scripts/pr-review <PR>`
+- `scripts/pr review-checkout-main <PR>` or `scripts/pr review-checkout-pr <PR>` while reviewing
+- `scripts/pr review-guard <PR>` before writing review outputs
+- `scripts/pr review-validate-artifacts <PR>` after writing outputs
+- `scripts/pr-prepare init <PR>`
+- `scripts/pr-prepare validate-commit <PR>`
+- `scripts/pr-prepare gates <PR>`
+- `scripts/pr-prepare push <PR>`
+- Optional one-shot prepare: `scripts/pr-prepare run <PR>`
+- `scripts/pr-merge <PR>` (verify-only; short form remains backward compatible)
+- `scripts/pr-merge verify <PR>` (verify-only)
+- Optional one-shot merge: `scripts/pr-merge run <PR>`
+
+These wrappers run shared preflight checks and generate deterministic artifacts. They are designed to work from repo root or PR worktree cwd.
+
+## Required artifacts
+
+- `.local/pr-meta.json` and `.local/pr-meta.env` from review init.
+- `.local/review.md` and `.local/review.json` from review output.
+- `.local/prep-context.env` and `.local/prep.md` from prepare.
+- `.local/prep.env` from prepare completion.
+
+## Structured review handoff
+
+`review-pr` must write `.local/review.json`.
+In normal skill runs this is handled automatically. Use `scripts/pr review-artifacts-init <PR>` and `scripts/pr review-tests <PR> ...` manually only for debugging or explicit script-only runs.
+
+Minimum schema:
+
+```json
+{
+  "recommendation": "READY FOR /prepare-pr",
+  "findings": [
+    {
+      "id": "F1",
+      "severity": "IMPORTANT",
+      "title": "Missing changelog entry",
+      "area": "CHANGELOG.md",
+      "fix": "Add a Fixes entry for PR #<PR>"
+    }
+  ],
+  "tests": {
+    "ran": ["pnpm test -- ..."],
+    "gaps": ["..."],
+    "result": "pass"
+  }
+}
+```
+
+`prepare-pr` resolves all `BLOCKER` and `IMPORTANT` findings from this file.
+
+## Coding Agent
+
+Use ChatGPT 5.3 Codex High. Fall back to 5.2 Codex High or 5.3 Codex Medium if necessary.
+
+## PR quality bar
+
+- Do not trust PR code by default.
+- Do not merge changes you cannot validate with a reproducible problem and a tested fix.
+- Keep types strict. Do not use `any` in implementation code.
+- Keep external-input boundaries typed and validated, including CLI input, environment variables, network payloads, and tool output.
+- Keep implementations properly scoped. Fix root causes, not local symptoms.
+- Identify and reuse canonical sources of truth so behavior does not drift across the codebase.
+- Harden changes. Always evaluate security impact and abuse paths.
+- Understand the system before changing it. Never make the codebase messier just to clear a PR queue.
+
+## Rebase and conflict resolution
+
+Before any substantive review or prep work, **always rebase the PR branch onto current `main` and resolve merge conflicts first**. A PR that cannot cleanly rebase is not ready for review — fix conflicts before evaluating correctness.
+
+- During `prepare-pr`: rebase onto `main` as the first step, before fixing findings or running gates.
+- If conflicts are complex or touch areas you do not understand, stop and escalate.
+- Prefer **rebase** for linear history; **squash** when commit history is messy or unhelpful.
+
+## Commit and changelog rules
+
+- In normal `prepare-pr` runs, commits are created via `scripts/committer "<msg>" <file...>`. Use it manually only when operating outside the skill flow; avoid manual `git add`/`git commit` so staging stays scoped.
+- Follow concise, action-oriented commit messages (e.g., `CLI: add verbose flag to send`).
+- During `prepare-pr`, use concise, action-oriented subjects **without** PR numbers or thanks; reserve `(#<PR>) thanks @<pr-author>` for the final merge/squash commit.
+- Group related changes; avoid bundling unrelated refactors.
+- Changelog workflow: keep the latest released version at the top (no `Unreleased`); after publishing, bump the version and start a new top section.
+- When working on a PR: add a changelog entry with the PR number and thank the contributor (mandatory in this workflow).
+- When working on an issue: reference the issue in the changelog entry.
+- In this workflow, changelog is always required even for internal/test-only changes.
+
+## Gate policy
+
+In fresh worktrees, dependency bootstrap is handled by wrappers before local gates. Manual equivalent:
+
+```sh
+pnpm install --frozen-lockfile
+```
+
+Gate set:
+
+- Always: `pnpm build`, `pnpm check`
+- `pnpm test` required unless high-confidence docs-only criteria pass.
+
+## Co-contributor and clawtributors
+
+- If we squash, add the PR author as a co-contributor in the commit body using a `Co-authored-by:` trailer.
+- When maintainer prepares and merges the PR, add the maintainer as an additional `Co-authored-by:` trailer too.
+- Avoid `--auto` merges for maintainer landings. Merge only after checks are green so the maintainer account is the actor and attribution is deterministic.
+- For squash merges, set `--author-email` to a reviewer-owned email with fallback candidates; if merge fails due to author-email validation, retry once with the next candidate.
+- If you review a PR and later do work on it, land via merge/squash (no direct-main commits) and always add the PR author as a co-contributor.
+- When merging a PR: leave a PR comment that explains exactly what we did, include the SHA hashes, and record the comment URL in the final report.
+- Manual post-merge step for new contributors: run `bun scripts/update-clawtributors.ts` to add their avatar to the README "Thanks to all clawtributors" list, then commit the regenerated README.
+
+## Review mode vs landing mode
+
+- **Review mode (PR link only):** read `gh pr view`/`gh pr diff`; **do not** switch branches; **do not** change code.
+- **Landing mode (exception path):** use only when normal `review-pr -> prepare-pr -> merge-pr` flow cannot safely preserve attribution or cannot satisfy branch protection. Create an integration branch from `main`, bring in PR commits (**prefer rebase** for linear history; **merge allowed** when complexity/conflicts make it safer), apply fixes, add changelog (+ thanks + PR #), run full gate **locally before committing** (`pnpm build && pnpm check && pnpm test`), commit, merge back to `main`, then `git switch main` (never stay on a topic branch after landing). Important: the contributor needs to be in the git graph after this!
+
+## Pre-review safety checks
+
+- Before starting a review when a GH Issue/PR is pasted: `review-pr`/`scripts/pr-review` should create and use an isolated `.worktrees/pr-<PR>` checkout from `origin/main` automatically. Do not require a clean main checkout, and do not run `git pull` in a dirty main checkout.
+- PR review calls: prefer a single `gh pr view --json ...` to batch metadata/comments; run `gh pr diff` only when needed.
+- PRs should summarize scope, note testing performed, and mention any user-facing changes or new flags.
+- Read `docs/help/submitting-a-pr.md` ([Submitting a PR](https://docs.openclaw.ai/help/submitting-a-pr)) for what we expect from contributors.

+- PR URL/number is known.
+- Problem statement is clear enough to attempt reproduction.
+- A realistic verification path exists (tests, integration checks, or explicit manual validation).
+
+### 1) `review-pr`
+
+Purpose:
+
+- Review only: correctness, value, security risk, tests, docs, and changelog impact.
+- Produce structured findings and a recommendation.
+
+Expected output:
+
+- Recommendation: ready, needs work, needs discussion, or close.
+- `.local/review.md` with actionable findings.
+
+Maintainer checkpoint before `prepare-pr`:
+
+```
+What problem are they trying to solve?
+What is the most optimal implementation?
+Can we fix up everything?
+Do we have any questions?
+```
+
+Stop and escalate instead of continuing if:
+
+- The problem cannot be reproduced or confirmed.
+- The proposed PR scope does not match the stated problem.
+- The design introduces unresolved security or trust-boundary concerns.
+
+### 2) `prepare-pr`
+
+Purpose:
+
+- Make the PR merge-ready on its head branch.
+- Rebase onto current `main` first, then fix blocker/important findings, then run gates.
+- In fresh worktrees, bootstrap dependencies before local gates (`pnpm install --frozen-lockfile`).
+
+Expected output:
+
+- Updated code and tests on the PR head branch.
+- `.local/prep.md` with changes, verification, and current HEAD SHA.
+- Final status: `PR is ready for /merge-pr`.
+
+Maintainer checkpoint before `merge-pr`:
+
+```
+Is this the most optimal implementation?
+Is the code properly scoped?
+Is the code properly reusing existing logic in the codebase?
+Is the code properly typed?
+Is the code hardened?
+Do we have enough tests?
+Do we need regression tests?
+Are tests using fake timers where appropriate? (e.g., debounce/throttle, retry backoff, timeout branches, delayed callbacks, polling loops)
+Do not add performative tests, ensure tests are real and there are no regressions.
+Do you see any follow-up refactors we should do?
+Did any changes introduce any potential security vulnerabilities?
+Take your time, fix it properly, refactor if necessary.
+```
+
+Stop and escalate instead of continuing if:
+
+- You cannot verify behavior changes with meaningful tests or validation.
+- Fixing findings requires broad architecture changes outside safe PR scope.
+- Security hardening requirements remain unresolved.
+
+### 3) `merge-pr`
+
+Purpose:
+
+- Merge only after review and prep artifacts are present and checks are green.
+- Use deterministic squash merge flow (`--match-head-commit` + explicit subject/body with co-author trailer), then verify the PR ends in `MERGED` state.
+- If no required checks are configured on the PR, treat that as acceptable and continue after branch-up-to-date validation.
+
+Go or no-go checklist before merge:
+
+- All BLOCKER and IMPORTANT findings are resolved.
+- Verification is meaningful and regression risk is acceptably low.
+- Changelog is updated (mandatory) and docs are updated when required.
+- Required CI checks are green and the branch is not behind `main`.
+
+Expected output:
+
+- Successful merge commit and recorded merge SHA.
+- Worktree cleanup after successful merge.
+- Comment on PR indicating merge was successful.
+
+Maintainer checkpoint after merge:
+
+- Were any refactors intentionally deferred and now need follow-up issue(s)?
+- Did this reveal broader architecture or test gaps we should address?
+- Run `bun scripts/update-clawtributors.ts` if the contributor is new.

+
+# Merge PR
+
+## Overview
+
+Merge a prepared PR only after deterministic validation.
+
+## Inputs
+
+- Ask for PR number or URL.
+- If missing, use `.local/prep.env` from the PR worktree.
+
+## Safety
+
+- Never use `gh pr merge --auto` in this flow.
+- Never run `git push` directly.
+- Require `--match-head-commit` during merge.
+- Wrapper commands are cwd-agnostic; you can run them from repo root or inside the PR worktree.
+
+## Execution Contract
+
+1. Validate merge readiness:
+
+```sh
+scripts/pr-merge verify <PR>
+```
+
+Backward-compatible verify form also works:
+
+```sh
+scripts/pr-merge <PR>
+```
+
+2. Run one-shot deterministic merge:
+
+```sh
+scripts/pr-merge run <PR>
+```
+
+3. Ensure output reports:
+
+- `merge_sha=<sha>`
+- `merge_author_email=<email>`
+- `comment_url=<url>`
+
+## Steps
+
+1. Validate artifacts
+
+```sh
+require=(.local/review.md .local/review.json .local/prep.md .local/prep.env)
+for f in "${require[@]}"; do
+  [ -s "$f" ] || { echo "Missing artifact: $f"; exit 1; }
+done
+```
+
+2. Validate checks and branch status
+
+```sh
+scripts/pr-merge verify <PR>
+source .local/prep.env
+```
+
+`scripts/pr-merge` treats “no required checks configured” as acceptable (`[]`), but fails on any required `fail` or `pending`.
+
+3. Merge deterministically (wrapper-managed)
+
+```sh
+scripts/pr-merge run <PR>
+```
+
+`scripts/pr-merge run` performs:
+
+- deterministic squash merge pinned to `PREP_HEAD_SHA`
+- reviewer merge author email selection with fallback candidates
+- one retry only when merge fails due to author-email validation
+- co-author trailers for PR author and reviewer
+- post-merge verification of both co-author trailers on commit message
+- PR comment retry (3 attempts), then comment URL extraction
+- cleanup after confirmed `MERGED`
+
+4. Manual fallback (only if wrapper is unavailable)
+
+```sh
+scripts/pr merge-run <PR>
+```
+
+5. Cleanup
+
+Cleanup is handled by `run` after merge success.
+
+## Guardrails
+
+- End in `MERGED`, never `CLOSED`.
+- Cleanup only after confirmed merge.

+
+# Mintlify best practices
+
+**Always consult [mintlify.com/docs](https://mintlify.com/docs) for components, configuration, and latest features.**
+
+**Always** favor searching the current Mintlify documentation over whatever is in your training data about Mintlify.
+
+Mintlify is a documentation platform that transforms MDX files into documentation sites. Configure site-wide settings in the `docs.json` file, write content in MDX with YAML frontmatter, and favor built-in components over custom components.
+
+Full schema at [mintlify.com/docs.json](https://mintlify.com/docs.json).
+
+## Before you write
+
+### Understand the project
+
+All documentation lives in the `docs/` directory in this repo. Read `docs.json` in that directory (`docs/docs.json`). This file defines the entire site: navigation structure, theme, colors, links, API and specs.
+
+Understanding the project tells you:
+
+- What pages exist and how they're organized
+- What navigation groups are used (and their naming conventions)
+- How the site navigation is structured
+- What theme and configuration the site uses
+
+### Check for existing content
+
+Search the docs before creating new pages. You may need to:
+
+- Update an existing page instead of creating a new one
+- Add a section to an existing page
+- Link to existing content rather than duplicating
+
+### Read surrounding content
+
+Before writing, read 2-3 similar pages to understand the site's voice, structure, formatting conventions, and level of detail.
+
+### Understand Mintlify components
+
+Review the Mintlify [components](https://www.mintlify.com/docs/components) to select and use any relevant components for the documentation request that you are working on.
+
+## Quick reference
+
+### CLI commands
+
+- `npm i -g mint` - Install the Mintlify CLI
+- `mint dev` - Local preview at localhost:3000
+- `mint broken-links` - Check internal links
+- `mint a11y` - Check for accessibility issues in content
+- `mint rename` - Rename/move files and update references
+- `mint validate` - Validate documentation builds
+
+### Required files
+
+- `docs.json` - Site configuration (navigation, theme, integrations, etc.). See [global settings](https://mintlify.com/docs/settings/global) for all options.
+- `*.mdx` files - Documentation pages with YAML frontmatter
+
+### Example file structure
+
+```
+project/
+├── docs.json           # Site configuration
+├── introduction.mdx
+├── quickstart.mdx
+├── guides/
+│   └── example.mdx
+├── openapi.yml         # API specification
+├── images/             # Static assets
+│   └── example.png
+└── snippets/           # Reusable components
+    └── component.jsx
+```
+
+## Page frontmatter
+
+Every page requires `title` in its frontmatter. Include `description` for SEO and navigation.
+
+```yaml theme={null}
+---
+title: "Clear, descriptive title"
+description: "Concise summary for SEO and navigation."
+---
+```
+
+Optional frontmatter fields:
+
+- `sidebarTitle`: Short title for sidebar navigation.
+- `icon`: Lucide or Font Awesome icon name, URL, or file path.
+- `tag`: Label next to the page title in the sidebar (for example, "NEW").
+- `mode`: Page layout mode (`default`, `wide`, `custom`).
+- `keywords`: Array of terms related to the page content for local search and SEO.
+- Any custom YAML fields for use with personalization or conditional content.
+
+## File conventions
+
+- Match existing naming patterns in the directory
+- If there are no existing files or inconsistent file naming patterns, use kebab-case: `getting-started.mdx`, `api-reference.mdx`
+- Use root-relative paths without file extensions for internal links: `/getting-started/quickstart`
+- Do not use relative paths (`../`) or absolute URLs for internal pages
+- When you create a new page, add it to `docs.json` navigation or it won't appear in the sidebar
+
+## Organize content
+
+When a user asks about anything related to site-wide configurations, start by understanding the [global settings](https://www.mintlify.com/docs/organize/settings). See if a setting in the `docs.json` file can be updated to achieve what the user wants.
+
+### Navigation
+
+The `navigation` property in `docs.json` controls site structure. Choose one primary pattern at the root level, then nest others within it.
+
+**Choose your primary pattern:**
+
+| Pattern       | When to use                                                                                    |
+| ------------- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
+| **Groups**    | Default. Single audience, straightforward hierarchy                                            |
+| **Tabs**      | Distinct sections with different audiences (Guides vs API Reference) or content types          |
+| **Anchors**   | Want persistent section links at sidebar top. Good for separating docs from external resources |
+| **Dropdowns** | Multiple doc sections users switch between, but not distinct enough for tabs                   |
+| **Products**  | Multi-product company with separate documentation per product                                  |
+| **Versions**  | Maintaining docs for multiple API/product versions simultaneously                              |
+| **Languages** | Localized content                                                                              |
+
+**Within your primary pattern:**
+
+- **Groups** - Organize related pages. Can nest groups within groups, but keep hierarchy shallow
+- **Menus** - Add dropdown navigation within tabs for quick jumps to specific pages
+- **`expanded: false`** - Collapse nested groups by default. Use for reference sections users browse selectively
+- **`openapi`** - Auto-generate pages from OpenAPI spec. Add at group/tab level to inherit
+
+**Common combinations:**
+
+- Tabs containing groups (most common for docs with API reference)
+- Products containing tabs (multi-product SaaS)
+- Versions containing tabs (versioned API docs)
+- Anchors containing groups (simple docs with external resource links)
+
+### Links and paths
+
+- **Internal links:** Root-relative, no extension: `/getting-started/quickstart`
+- **Images:** Store in `/images`, reference as `/images/example.png`
+- **External links:** Use full URLs, they open in new tabs automatically
+
+## Customize docs sites
+
+**What to customize where:**
+
+- **Brand colors, fonts, logo** → `docs.json`. See [global settings](https://mintlify.com/docs/settings/global)
+- **Component styling, layout tweaks** → `custom.css` at project root
+- **Dark mode** → Enabled by default. Only disable with `"appearance": "light"` in `docs.json` if brand requires it
+
+Start with `docs.json`. Only add `custom.css` when you need styling that config doesn't support.
+
+## Write content
+
+### Components
+
+The [components overview](https://mintlify.com/docs/components) organizes all components by purpose: structure content, draw attention, show/hide content, document APIs, link to pages, and add visual context. Start there to find the right component.
+
+**Common decision points:**
+
+| Need                       | Use                     |
+| -------------------------- | ----------------------- |
+| Hide optional details      | `<Accordion>`           |
+| Long code examples         | `<Expandable>`          |
+| User chooses one option    | `<Tabs>`                |
+| Linked navigation cards    | `<Card>` in `<Columns>` |
+| Sequential instructions    | `<Steps>`               |
+| Code in multiple languages | `<CodeGroup>`           |
+| API parameters             | `<ParamField>`          |
+| API response fields        | `<ResponseField>`       |
+
+**Callouts by severity:**
+
+- `<Note>` - Supplementary info, safe to skip
+- `<Info>` - Helpful context such as permissions
+- `<Tip>` - Recommendations or best practices
+- `<Warning>` - Potentially destructive actions
+- `<Check>` - Success confirmation
+
+### Reusable content
+
+**When to use snippets:**
+
+- Exact content appears on more than one page
+- Complex components you want to maintain in one place
+- Shared content across teams/repos
+
+**When NOT to use snippets:**
+
+- Slight variations needed per page (leads to complex props)
+
+Import snippets with `import { Component } from "/path/to/snippet-name.jsx"`.
+
+## Writing standards
+
+### Voice and structure
+
+- Second-person voice ("you")
+- Active voice, direct language
+- Sentence case for headings ("Getting started", not "Getting Started")
+- Sentence case for code block titles ("Expandable example", not "Expandable Example")
+- Lead with context: explain what something is before how to use it
+- Prerequisites at the start of procedural content
+
+### What to avoid
+
+**Never use:**
+
+- Marketing language ("powerful", "seamless", "robust", "cutting-edge")
+- Filler phrases ("it's important to note", "in order to")
+- Excessive conjunctions ("moreover", "furthermore", "additionally")
+- Editorializing ("obviously", "simply", "just", "easily")
+
+**Watch for AI-typical patterns:**
+
+- Overly formal or stilted phrasing
+- Unnecessary repetition of concepts
+- Generic introductions that don't add value
+- Concluding summaries that restate what was just said
+
+### Formatting
+
+- All code blocks must have language tags
+- All images and media must have descriptive alt text
+- Use bold and italics only when they serve the reader's understanding--never use text styling just for decoration
+- No decorative formatting or emoji
+
+### Code examples
+
+- Keep examples simple and practical
+- Use realistic values (not "foo" or "bar")
+- One clear example is better than multiple variations
+- Test that code works before including it
+
+## Document APIs
+
+**Choose your approach:**
+
+- **Have an OpenAPI spec?** → Add to `docs.json` with `"openapi": ["openapi.yaml"]`. Pages auto-generate. Reference in navigation as `GET /endpoint`
+- **No spec?** → Write endpoints manually with `api: "POST /users"` in frontmatter. More work but full control
+- **Hybrid** → Use OpenAPI for most endpoints, manual pages for complex workflows
+
+Encourage users to generate endpoint pages from an OpenAPI spec. It is the most efficient and easiest to maintain option.
+
+## Deploy
+
+Mintlify deploys automatically when changes are pushed to the connected Git repository.
+
+**What agents can configure:**
+
+- **Redirects** → Add to `docs.json` with `"redirects": [{"source": "/old", "destination": "/new"}]`
+- **SEO indexing** → Control with `"seo": {"indexing": "all"}` to include hidden pages in search
+
+**Requires dashboard setup (human task):**
+
+- Custom domains and subdomains
+- Preview deployment settings
+- DNS configuration
+
+For `/docs` subpath hosting with Vercel or Cloudflare, agents can help configure rewrite rules. See [/docs subpath](https://mintlify.com/docs/deploy/vercel).
+
+## Workflow
+
+### 1. Understand the task
+
+Identify what needs to be documented, which pages are affected, and what the reader should accomplish afterward. If any of these are unclear, ask.
+
+### 2. Research
+
+- Read `docs/docs.json` to understand the site structure
+- Search existing docs for related content
+- Read similar pages to match the site's style
+
+### 3. Plan
+
+- Synthesize what the reader should accomplish after reading the docs and the current content
+- Propose any updates or new content
+- Verify that your proposed changes will help readers be successful
+
+### 4. Write
+
+- Start with the most important information
+- Keep sections focused and scannable
+- Use components appropriately (don't overuse them)
+- Mark anything uncertain with a TODO comment:
+
+```mdx theme={null}
+{/* TODO: Verify the default timeout value */}
+```
+
+### 5. Update navigation
+
+If you created a new page, add it to the appropriate group in `docs.json`.
+
+### 6. Verify
+
+Before submitting:
+
+- [ ] Frontmatter includes title and description
+- [ ] All code blocks have language tags
+- [ ] Internal links use root-relative paths without file extensions
+- [ ] New pages are added to `docs.json` navigation
+- [ ] Content matches the style of surrounding pages
+- [ ] No marketing language or filler phrases
+- [ ] TODOs are clearly marked for anything uncertain
+- [ ] Run `mint broken-links` to check links
+- [ ] Run `mint validate` to find any errors
+
+## Edge cases
+
+### Migrations
+
+If a user asks about migrating to Mintlify, ask if they are using ReadMe or Docusaurus. If they are, use the [@mintlify/scraping](https://www.npmjs.com/package/@mintlify/scraping) CLI to migrate content. If they are using a different platform to host their documentation, help them manually convert their content to MDX pages using Mintlify components.
+
+### Hidden pages
+
+Any page that is not included in the `docs.json` navigation is hidden. Use hidden pages for content that should be accessible by URL or indexed for the assistant or search, but not discoverable through the sidebar navigation.
+
+### Exclude pages
+
+The `.mintignore` file is used to exclude files from a documentation repository from being processed.
+
+## Common gotchas
+
+1. **Component imports** - JSX components need explicit import, MDX components don't
+2. **Frontmatter required** - Every MDX file needs `title` at minimum
+3. **Code block language** - Always specify language identifier
+4. **Never use `mint.json`** - `mint.json` is deprecated. Only ever use `docs.json`

+description: Script-first PR preparation with structured findings resolution, deterministic push safety, and explicit gate execution.
+---
+
+# Prepare PR
+
+## Overview
+
+Prepare the PR head branch for merge after `/review-pr`.
+
+## Inputs
+
+- Ask for PR number or URL.
+- If missing, use `.local/pr-meta.env` if present in the PR worktree.
+
+## Safety
+
+- Never push to `main`.
+- Only push to PR head with explicit `--force-with-lease` against known head SHA.
+- Do not run `git clean -fdx`.
+- Wrappers are cwd-agnostic; run from repo root or PR worktree.
+
+## Execution Contract
+
+1. Run setup:
+
+```sh
+scripts/pr-prepare init <PR>
+```
+
+2. Resolve findings from structured review:
+
+- `.local/review.json` is mandatory.
+- Resolve all `BLOCKER` and `IMPORTANT` items.
+
+3. Commit scoped changes with concise subjects (no PR number/thanks; those belong on the final merge/squash commit).
+
+4. Run gates via wrapper.
+
+5. Push via wrapper (includes pre-push remote verification, one automatic lease-retry path, and post-push API propagation retry).
+
+Optional one-shot path:
+
+```sh
+scripts/pr-prepare run <PR>
+```
+
+## Steps
+
+1. Setup and artifacts
+
+```sh
+scripts/pr-prepare init <PR>
+
+ls -la .local/review.md .local/review.json .local/pr-meta.env .local/prep-context.env
+jq . .local/review.json >/dev/null
+```
+
+2. Resolve required findings
+
+List required items:
+
+```sh
+jq -r '.findings[] | select(.severity=="BLOCKER" or .severity=="IMPORTANT") | "- [\(.severity)] \(.id): \(.title) => \(.fix)"' .local/review.json
+```
+
+Fix all required findings. Keep scope tight.
+
+3. Update changelog/docs (changelog is mandatory in this workflow)
+
+```sh
+jq -r '.changelog' .local/review.json
+jq -r '.docs' .local/review.json
+```
+
+4. Commit scoped changes
+
+Use concise, action-oriented subject lines without PR numbers/thanks. The final merge/squash commit is the only place we include PR numbers and contributor thanks.
+
+Use explicit file list:
+
+```sh
+scripts/committer "fix: <summary>" <file1> <file2> ...
+```
+
+5. Run gates
+
+```sh
+scripts/pr-prepare gates <PR>
+```
+
+6. Push safely to PR head
+
+```sh
+scripts/pr-prepare push <PR>
+```
+
+This push step includes:
+
+- robust fork remote resolution from owner/name,
+- pre-push remote SHA verification,
+- one automatic rebase + gate rerun + retry if lease push fails,
+- post-push PR-head propagation retry,
+- idempotent behavior when local prep HEAD is already on the PR head,
+- post-push SHA verification and `.local/prep.env` generation.
+
+7. Verify handoff artifacts
+
+```sh
+ls -la .local/prep.md .local/prep.env
+```
+
+8. Output
+
+- Summarize resolved findings and gate results.
+- Print exactly: `PR is ready for /merge-pr`.
+
+## Guardrails
+
+- Do not run `gh pr merge` in this skill.
+- Do not delete worktree.

+- PR-head mode: `scripts/pr review-checkout-pr <PR>`
+
+3. Before writing review outputs, run branch guard:
+
+```sh
+scripts/pr review-guard <PR>
+```
+
+4. Write both outputs:
+
+- `.local/review.md` with sections A through J.
+- `.local/review.json` with structured findings.
+
+5. Validate artifacts semantically:
+
+```sh
+scripts/pr review-validate-artifacts <PR>
+```
+
+## Steps
+
+1. Setup and metadata
+
+```sh
+scripts/pr-review <PR>
+ls -la .local/pr-meta.json .local/pr-meta.env .local/review-context.env .local/review-mode.env
+```
+
+2. Existing implementation check on main
+
+```sh
+scripts/pr review-checkout-main <PR>
+rg -n "<keyword>" -S src extensions apps || true
+git log --oneline --all --grep "<keyword>" | head -20
+```
+
+3. Claim PR
+
+```sh
+gh_user=$(gh api user --jq .login)
+gh pr edit <PR> --add-assignee "$gh_user" || echo "Could not assign reviewer, continuing"
+```
+
+4. Read PR description and diff
+
+```sh
+scripts/pr review-checkout-pr <PR>
+gh pr diff <PR>
+
+source .local/review-context.env
+git diff --stat "$MERGE_BASE"..pr-<PR>
+git diff "$MERGE_BASE"..pr-<PR>
+```
+
+5. Optional local tests
+
+Use the wrapper for target validation and executed-test verification:
+
+```sh
+scripts/pr review-tests <PR> <test-file> [<test-file> ...]
+```
+
+6. Initialize review artifact templates
+
+```sh
+scripts/pr review-artifacts-init <PR>
+```
+
+7. Produce review outputs
+
+- Fill `.local/review.md` sections A through J.
+- Fill `.local/review.json`.
+
+Minimum JSON shape:
+
+```json
+{
+  "recommendation": "READY FOR /prepare-pr",
+  "findings": [
+    {
+      "id": "F1",
+      "severity": "IMPORTANT",
+      "title": "...",
+      "area": "path/or/component",
+      "fix": "Actionable fix"
+    }
+  ],
+  "tests": {
+    "ran": [],
+    "gaps": [],
+    "result": "pass"
+  },
+  "docs": "up_to_date|missing|not_applicable",
+  "changelog": "required"
+}
+```
+
+8. Guard + validate before final output
+
+```sh
+scripts/pr review-guard <PR>
+scripts/pr review-validate-artifacts <PR>
+```
+
+## Guardrails
+
+- Keep review read-only.
+- Do not delete worktree.
+- Use merge-base scoped diff for local context to avoid stale branch drift.

+# OpenClaw Codebase Patterns
+
+**Always reuse existing code - no redundancy!**
+
+## Tech Stack
+
+- **Runtime**: Node 22+ (Bun also supported for dev/scripts)
+- **Language**: TypeScript (ESM, strict mode)
+- **Package Manager**: pnpm (keep `pnpm-lock.yaml` in sync)
+- **Lint/Format**: Oxlint, Oxfmt (`pnpm check`)
+- **Tests**: Vitest with V8 coverage
+- **CLI Framework**: Commander + clack/prompts
+- **Build**: tsdown (outputs to `dist/`)
+
+## Anti-Redundancy Rules
+
+- Avoid files that just re-export from another file. Import directly from the original source.
+- If a function already exists, import it - do NOT create a duplicate in another file.
+- Before creating any formatter, utility, or helper, search for existing implementations first.
+
+## Source of Truth Locations
+
+### Formatting Utilities (`src/infra/`)
+
+- **Time formatting**: `src\infra\format-time`
+
+**NEVER create local `formatAge`, `formatDuration`, `formatElapsedTime` functions - import from centralized modules.**
+
+### Terminal Output (`src/terminal/`)
+
+- Tables: `src/terminal/table.ts` (`renderTable`)
+- Themes/colors: `src/terminal/theme.ts` (`theme.success`, `theme.muted`, etc.)
+- Progress: `src/cli/progress.ts` (spinners, progress bars)
+
+### CLI Patterns
+
+- CLI option wiring: `src/cli/`
+- Commands: `src/commands/`
+- Dependency injection via `createDefaultDeps`
+
+## Import Conventions
+
+- Use `.js` extension for cross-package imports (ESM)
+- Direct imports only - no re-export wrapper files
+- Types: `import type { X }` for type-only imports
+
+## Code Quality
+
+- TypeScript (ESM), strict typing, avoid `any`
+- Keep files under ~700 LOC - extract helpers when larger
+- Colocated tests: `*.test.ts` next to source files
+- Run `pnpm check` before commits (lint + format)
+- Run `pnpm tsgo` for type checking
+
+## Stack & Commands
+
+- **Package manager**: pnpm (`pnpm install`)
+- **Dev**: `pnpm openclaw ...` or `pnpm dev`
+- **Type-check**: `pnpm tsgo`
+- **Lint/format**: `pnpm check`
+- **Tests**: `pnpm test`
+- **Build**: `pnpm build`
+
+If you are coding together with a human, do NOT use scripts/committer, but git directly and run the above commands manually to ensure quality.

 ## Commit & Pull Request Guidelines
 
+**Full maintainer PR workflow (optional):** If you want the repo's end-to-end maintainer workflow (triage order, quality bar, rebase rules, commit/changelog conventions, co-contributor policy, and the `review-pr` > `prepare-pr` > `merge-pr` pipeline), see `.agents/skills/PR_WORKFLOW.md`. Maintainers may use other workflows; when a maintainer specifies a workflow, follow that. If no workflow is specified, default to PR_WORKFLOW.
+
 - Create commits with `scripts/committer "<msg>" <file...>`; avoid manual `git add`/`git commit` so staging stays scoped.
 - Follow concise, action-oriented commit messages (e.g., `CLI: add verbose flag to send`).
 - Group related changes; avoid bundling unrelated refactors.
-- Changelog workflow: keep latest released version at top (no `Unreleased`); after publishing, bump version and start a new top section.
-- PRs should summarize scope, note testing performed, and mention any user-facing changes or new flags.
-- PR review flow: when given a PR link, review via `gh pr view`/`gh pr diff` and do **not** change branches.
-- PR review calls: prefer a single `gh pr view --json ...` to batch metadata/comments; run `gh pr diff` only when needed.
-- Before starting a review when a GH Issue/PR is pasted: run `git pull`; if there are local changes or unpushed commits, stop and alert the user before reviewing.
-- Goal: merge PRs. Prefer **rebase** when commits are clean; **squash** when history is messy.
-- PR merge flow: create a temp branch from `main`, merge the PR branch into it (prefer squash unless commit history is important; use rebase/merge when it is). Always try to merge the PR unless it’s truly difficult, then use another approach. If we squash, add the PR author as a co-contributor. Apply fixes, add changelog entry (include PR # + thanks), run full gate before the final commit, commit, merge back to `main`, delete the temp branch, and end on `main`.
-- If you review a PR and later do work on it, land via merge/squash (no direct-main commits) and always add the PR author as a co-contributor.
-- When working on a PR: add a changelog entry with the PR number and thank the contributor.
-- When working on an issue: reference the issue in the changelog entry.
-- When merging a PR: leave a PR comment that explains exactly what we did and include the SHA hashes.
-- When merging a PR from a new contributor: add their avatar to the README “Thanks to all clawtributors” thumbnail list.
-- After merging a PR: run `bun scripts/update-clawtributors.ts` if the contributor is missing, then commit the regenerated README.
+- PR submission template (canonical): `.github/pull_request_template.md`
+- Issue submission templates (canonical): `.github/ISSUE_TEMPLATE/`
 
 ## Shorthand Commands
 
 - `sync`: if working tree is dirty, commit all changes (pick a sensible Conventional Commit message), then `git pull --rebase`; if rebase conflicts and cannot resolve, stop; otherwise `git push`.

-- **Review mode (PR link only):** read `gh pr view/diff`; **do not** switch branches; **do not** change code.
-- **Landing mode:** create an integration branch from `main`, bring in PR commits (**prefer rebase** for linear history; **merge allowed** when complexity/conflicts make it safer), apply fixes, add changelog (+ thanks + PR #), run full gate **locally before committing** (`pnpm build && pnpm check && pnpm test`), commit, merge back to `main`, then `git switch main` (never stay on a topic branch after landing). Important: contributor needs to be in git graph after this!

-## 2026.2.4
+## 2026.2.15 (Unreleased)
+
+### Changes
+
+- Cron/Gateway: add finished-run webhook delivery toggle (`notify`) and dedicated webhook auth token support (`cron.webhookToken`) for outbound cron webhook posts. (#14535) Thanks @advaitpaliwal.
+- Plugins: expose `llm_input` and `llm_output` hook payloads so extensions can observe prompt/input context and model output usage details. (#16724) Thanks @SecondThread.
+- Subagents: nested sub-agents (sub-sub-agents) with configurable depth. Set `agents.defaults.subagents.maxSpawnDepth: 2` to allow sub-agents to spawn their own children. Includes `maxChildrenPerAgent` limit (default 5), depth-aware tool policy, and proper announce chain routing. (#14447) Thanks @tyler6204.
+- Discord: components v2 UI + embeds passthrough + exec approval UX refinements (CV2 containers, button layout, Discord-forwarding skip). Thanks @thewilloftheshadow.
+- Slack/Discord/Telegram: add per-channel ack reaction overrides (account/channel-level) to support platform-specific emoji formats. (#17092) Thanks @zerone0x.
+- Channels: deduplicate probe/token resolution base types across core + extensions while preserving per-channel error typing. (#16986) Thanks @iyoda and @thewilloftheshadow.
+
+### Fixes
+
+- Web UI/Agents: hide `BOOTSTRAP.md` in the Agents Files list after onboarding is completed, avoiding confusing missing-file warnings for completed workspaces. (#17491) Thanks @gumadeiras.
+- Telegram: omit `message_thread_id` for DM sends/draft previews and keep forum-topic handling (`id=1` general omitted, non-general kept), preventing DM failures with `400 Bad Request: message thread not found`. (#10942) Thanks @garnetlyx.
+- Subagents/Models: preserve `agents.defaults.model.fallbacks` when subagent sessions carry a model override, so subagent runs fail over to configured fallback models instead of retrying only the overridden primary model.
+- Config/Gateway: make sensitive-key whitelist suffix matching case-insensitive while preserving `passwordFile` path exemptions, preventing accidental redaction of non-secret config values like `maxTokens` and IRC password-file paths. (#16042) Thanks @akramcodez.
+- Group chats: always inject group chat context (name, participants, reply guidance) into the system prompt on every turn, not just the first. Prevents the model from losing awareness of which group it's in and incorrectly using the message tool to send to the same group. (#14447) Thanks @tyler6204.
+- TUI: make searchable-select filtering and highlight rendering ANSI-aware so queries ignore hidden escape codes and no longer corrupt ANSI styling sequences during match highlighting. (#4519) Thanks @bee4come.
+- TUI/Windows: coalesce rapid single-line submit bursts in Git Bash into one multiline message as a fallback when bracketed paste is unavailable, preventing pasted multiline text from being split into multiple sends. (#4986) Thanks @adamkane.
+- TUI: suppress false `(no output)` placeholders for non-local empty final events during concurrent runs, preventing external-channel replies from showing empty assistant bubbles while a local run is still streaming. (#5782) Thanks @LagWizard and @vignesh07.
+- TUI: preserve copy-sensitive long tokens (URLs/paths/file-like identifiers) during wrapping and overflow sanitization so wrapped output no longer inserts spaces that corrupt copy/paste values. (#17515, #17466, #17505) Thanks @abe238, @trevorpan, and @JasonCry.
+- Auto-reply/WhatsApp/TUI/Web: when a final assistant message is `NO_REPLY` and a messaging tool send succeeded, mirror the delivered messaging-tool text into session-visible assistant output so TUI/Web no longer show `NO_REPLY` placeholders. (#7010) Thanks @Morrowind-Xie.
+- Gateway/Chat: harden `chat.send` inbound message handling by rejecting null bytes, stripping unsafe control characters, and normalizing Unicode to NFC before dispatch. (#8593) Thanks @fr33d3m0n.
+- Gateway/Send: return an actionable error when `send` targets internal-only `webchat`, guiding callers to use `chat.send` or a deliverable channel. (#15703) Thanks @rodrigouroz.
+- Gateway/Agent: reject malformed `agent:`-prefixed session keys (for example, `agent:main`) in `agent` and `agent.identity.get` instead of silently resolving them to the default agent, preventing accidental cross-session routing. (#15707) Thanks @rodrigouroz.
+- Gateway/Security: redact sensitive session/path details from `status` responses for non-admin clients; full details remain available to `operator.admin`. (#8590) Thanks @fr33d3m0n.
+- Web Fetch/Security: cap downloaded response body size before HTML parsing to prevent memory exhaustion from oversized or deeply nested pages. Thanks @xuemian168.
+- Agents: return an explicit timeout error reply when an embedded run times out before producing any payloads, preventing silent dropped turns during slow cache-refresh transitions. (#16659) Thanks @liaosvcaf and @vignesh07.
+- Agents/OpenAI: force `store=true` for direct OpenAI Responses/Codex runs to preserve multi-turn server-side conversation state, while leaving proxy/non-OpenAI endpoints unchanged. (#16803) Thanks @mark9232 and @vignesh07.
+- Agents/Context: apply configured model `contextWindow` overrides after provider discovery so `lookupContextTokens()` honors operator config values (including discovery-failure paths). (#17404) Thanks @michaelbship and @vignesh07.
+- CLI/Build: make legacy daemon CLI compatibility shim generation tolerant of minimal tsdown daemon export sets, while preserving restart/register compatibility aliases and surfacing explicit errors for unavailable legacy daemon commands. Thanks @vignesh07.
+- Telegram: replace inbound `<media:audio>` placeholder with successful preflight voice transcript in message body context, preventing placeholder-only prompt bodies for mention-gated voice messages. (#16789) Thanks @Limitless2023.
+- Telegram: retry inbound media `getFile` calls (3 attempts with backoff) and gracefully fall back to placeholder-only processing when retries fail, preventing dropped voice/media messages on transient Telegram network errors. (#16154) Thanks @yinghaosang.
+- Telegram: finalize streaming preview replies in place instead of sending a second final message, preventing duplicate Telegram assistant outputs at stream completion. (#17218) Thanks @obviyus.
+- Cron: infer `payload.kind="agentTurn"` for model-only `cron.update` payload patches, so partial agent-turn updates do not fail validation when `kind` is omitted. (#15664) Thanks @rodrigouroz.
+- Subagents: use child-run-based deterministic announce idempotency keys across direct and queued delivery paths (with legacy queued-item fallback) to prevent duplicate announce retries without collapsing distinct same-millisecond announces. (#17150) Thanks @widingmarcus-cyber.
+- Discord: ensure role allowlist matching uses raw role IDs for message routing authorization. Thanks @xinhuagu.
+
+## 2026.2.14
+
+### Changes
+
+- Telegram: add poll sending via `openclaw message poll` (duration seconds, silent delivery, anonymity controls). (#16209) Thanks @robbyczgw-cla.
+- Slack/Discord: add `dmPolicy` + `allowFrom` config aliases for DM access control; legacy `dm.policy` + `dm.allowFrom` keys remain supported and `openclaw doctor --fix` can migrate them.
+- Discord: allow exec approval prompts to target channels or both DM+channel via `channels.discord.execApprovals.target`. (#16051) Thanks @leonnardo.
+- Sandbox: add `sandbox.browser.binds` to configure browser-container bind mounts separately from exec containers. (#16230) Thanks @seheepeak.
+- Discord: add debug logging for message routing decisions to improve `--debug` tracing. (#16202) Thanks @jayleekr.
+- Agents: add optional `messages.suppressToolErrors` config to hide non-mutating tool-failure warnings from user-facing chat while still surfacing mutating failures. (#16620) Thanks @vai-oro.
+
+### Fixes
+
+- CLI/Plugins: ensure `openclaw message send` exits after successful delivery across plugin-backed channels so one-shot sends do not hang. (#16491) Thanks @yinghaosang.
+- CLI/Plugins: run registered plugin `gateway_stop` hooks before `openclaw message` exits (success and failure paths), so plugin-backed channels can clean up one-shot CLI resources. (#16580) Thanks @gumadeiras.
+- WhatsApp: honor per-account `dmPolicy` overrides (account-level settings now take precedence over channel defaults for inbound DMs). (#10082) Thanks @mcaxtr.
+- Telegram: when `channels.telegram.commands.native` is `false`, exclude plugin commands from `setMyCommands` menu registration while keeping plugin slash handlers callable. (#15132) Thanks @Glucksberg.
+- LINE: return 200 OK for Developers Console "Verify" requests (`{"events":[]}`) without `X-Line-Signature`, while still requiring signatures for real deliveries. (#16582) Thanks @arosstale.
+- Cron: deliver text-only output directly when `delivery.to` is set so cron recipients get full output instead of summaries. (#16360) Thanks @thewilloftheshadow.
+- Cron/Slack: preserve agent identity (name and icon) when cron jobs deliver outbound messages. (#16242) Thanks @robbyczgw-cla.
+- Media: accept `MEDIA:`-prefixed paths (lenient whitespace) when loading outbound media to prevent `ENOENT` for tool-returned local media paths. (#13107) Thanks @mcaxtr.
+- Media understanding: treat binary `application/vnd.*`/zip/octet-stream attachments as non-text (while keeping vendor `+json`/`+xml` text-eligible) so Office/ZIP files are not inlined into prompt body text. (#16513) Thanks @rmramsey32.
+- Agents: deliver tool result media (screenshots, images, audio) to channels regardless of verbose level. (#11735) Thanks @strelov1.
+- Auto-reply/Block streaming: strip leading whitespace from streamed block replies so messages starting with blank lines no longer deliver visible leading empty lines. (#16422) Thanks @mcinteerj.
+- Auto-reply/Queue: keep queued followups and overflow summaries when drain attempts fail, then retry delivery instead of dropping messages on transient errors. (#16771) Thanks @mmhzlrj.
+- Agents/Image tool: allow workspace-local image paths by including the active workspace directory in local media allowlists, and trust sandbox-validated paths in image loaders to prevent false "not under an allowed directory" rejections. (#15541)
+- Agents/Image tool: propagate the effective workspace root into tool wiring so workspace-local image paths are accepted by default when running without an explicit `workspaceDir`. (#16722)
+- BlueBubbles: include sender identity in group chat envelopes and pass clean message text to the agent prompt, aligning with iMessage/Signal formatting. (#16210) Thanks @zerone0x.
+- CLI: fix lazy core command registration so top-level maintenance commands (`doctor`, `dashboard`, `reset`, `uninstall`) resolve correctly instead of exposing a non-functional `maintenance` placeholder command.
+- CLI/Dashboard: when `gateway.bind=lan`, generate localhost dashboard URLs to satisfy browser secure-context requirements while preserving non-LAN bind behavior. (#16434) Thanks @BinHPdev.
+- TUI/Gateway: resolve local gateway target URL from `gateway.bind` mode (tailnet/lan) instead of hardcoded localhost so `openclaw tui` connects when gateway is non-loopback. (#16299) Thanks @cortexuvula.
+- TUI: honor explicit `--session <key>` in `openclaw tui` even when `session.scope` is `global`, so named sessions no longer collapse into shared global history. (#16575) Thanks @cinqu.
+- TUI: use available terminal width for session name display in searchable select lists. (#16238) Thanks @robbyczgw-cla.
+- TUI: refactor searchable select list description layout and add regression coverage for ANSI-highlight width bounds.
+- TUI: preserve in-flight streaming replies when a different run finalizes concurrently (avoid clearing active run or reloading history mid-stream). (#10704) Thanks @axschr73.
+- TUI: keep pre-tool streamed text visible when later tool-boundary deltas temporarily omit earlier text blocks. (#6958) Thanks @KrisKind75.
+- TUI: sanitize ANSI/control-heavy history text, redact binary-like lines, and split pathological long unbroken tokens before rendering to prevent startup crashes on binary attachment history. (#13007) Thanks @wilkinspoe.
+- TUI: harden render-time sanitizer for narrow terminals by chunking moderately long unbroken tokens and adding fast-path sanitization guards to reduce overhead on normal text. (#5355) Thanks @tingxueren.
+- TUI: render assistant body text in terminal default foreground (instead of fixed light ANSI color) so contrast remains readable on light themes such as Solarized Light. (#16750) Thanks @paymog.
+- TUI/Hooks: pass explicit reset reason (`new` vs `reset`) through `sessions.reset` and emit internal command hooks for gateway-triggered resets so `/new` hook workflows fire in TUI/webchat.
+- Gateway/Agent: route bare `/new` and `/reset` through `sessions.reset` before running the fresh-session greeting prompt, so reset commands clear the current session in-place instead of falling through to normal agent runs. (#16732) Thanks @kdotndot and @vignesh07.
+- Cron: prevent `cron list`/`cron status` from silently skipping past-due recurring jobs by using maintenance recompute semantics. (#16156) Thanks @zerone0x.
+- Cron: repair missing/corrupt `nextRunAtMs` for the updated job without globally recomputing unrelated due jobs during `cron update`. (#15750)
+- Cron: treat persisted jobs with missing `enabled` as enabled by default across update/list/timer due-path checks, and add regression coverage for missing-`enabled` store records. (#15433) Thanks @eternauta1337.
+- Cron: skip missed-job replay on startup for jobs interrupted mid-run (stale `runningAtMs` markers), preventing restart loops for self-restarting jobs such as update tasks. (#16694) Thanks @sbmilburn.
+- Heartbeat/Cron: treat cron-tagged queued system events as cron reminders even on interval wakes, so isolated cron announce summaries no longer run under the default heartbeat prompt. (#14947) Thanks @archedark-ada and @vignesh07.
+- Discord: prefer gateway guild id when logging inbound messages so cached-miss guilds do not appear as `guild=dm`. Thanks @thewilloftheshadow.
+- Discord: treat empty per-guild `channels: {}` config maps as no channel allowlist (not deny-all), so `groupPolicy: "open"` guilds without explicit channel entries continue to receive messages. (#16714) Thanks @xqliu.
+- Models/CLI: guard `models status` string trimming paths to prevent crashes from malformed non-string config values. (#16395) Thanks @BinHPdev.
+- Gateway/Subagents: preserve queued announce items and summary state on delivery errors, retry failed announce drains, and avoid dropping unsent announcements on timeout/failure. (#16729) Thanks @Clawdette-Workspace.
+- Gateway/Config: make `config.patch` merge object arrays by `id` (for example `agents.list`) instead of replacing the whole array, so partial agent updates do not silently delete unrelated agents. (#6766) Thanks @lightclient.
+- Webchat/Prompts: stop injecting direct-chat `conversation_label` into inbound untrusted metadata context blocks, preventing internal label noise from leaking into visible chat replies. (#16556) Thanks @nberardi.
+- Gateway/Sessions: abort active embedded runs and clear queued session work before `sessions.reset`, returning unavailable if the run does not stop in time. (#16576) Thanks @Grynn.
+- Sessions/Agents: harden transcript path resolution for mismatched agent context by preserving explicit store roots and adding safe absolute-path fallback to the correct agent sessions directory. (#16288) Thanks @robbyczgw-cla.
+- Agents: add a safety timeout around embedded `session.compact()` to ensure stalled compaction runs settle and release blocked session lanes. (#16331) Thanks @BinHPdev.
+- Agents/Tools: make required-parameter validation errors list missing fields and instruct: "Supply correct parameters before retrying," reducing repeated invalid tool-call loops (for example `read({})`). (#14729)
+- Agents: keep unresolved mutating tool failures visible until the same action retry succeeds, scope mutation-error surfacing to mutating calls (including `session_status` model changes), and dedupe duplicate failure warnings in outbound replies. (#16131) Thanks @Swader.
+- Agents/Process/Bootstrap: preserve unbounded `process log` offset-only pagination (default tail applies only when both `offset` and `limit` are omitted) and enforce strict `bootstrapTotalMaxChars` budgeting across injected bootstrap content (including markers), skipping additional injection when remaining budget is too small. (#16539) Thanks @CharlieGreenman.
+- Agents/Workspace: persist bootstrap onboarding state so partially initialized workspaces recover missing `BOOTSTRAP.md` once, while completed onboarding keeps BOOTSTRAP deleted even if runtime files are later recreated. Thanks @gumadeiras.
+- Agents/Workspace: create `BOOTSTRAP.md` when core workspace files are seeded in partially initialized workspaces, while keeping BOOTSTRAP one-shot after onboarding deletion. (#16457) Thanks @robbyczgw-cla.
+- Agents: classify external timeout aborts during compaction the same as internal timeouts, preventing unnecessary auth-profile rotation and preserving compaction-timeout snapshot fallback behavior. (#9855) Thanks @mverrilli.
+- Agents: treat empty-stream provider failures (`request ended without sending any chunks`) as timeout-class failover signals, enabling auth-profile rotation/fallback and showing a friendly timeout message instead of raw provider errors. (#10210) Thanks @zenchantlive.
+- Agents: treat `read` tool `file_path` arguments as valid in tool-start diagnostics to avoid false “read tool called without path” warnings when alias parameters are used. (#16717) Thanks @Stache73.
+- Agents/Transcript: drop malformed tool-call blocks with blank required fields (`id`/`name` or missing `input`/`arguments`) during session transcript repair to prevent persistent tool-call corruption on future turns. (#15485) Thanks @mike-zachariades.
+- Tools/Write/Edit: normalize structured text-block arguments for `content`/`oldText`/`newText` before filesystem edits, preventing JSON-like file corruption and false “exact text not found” misses from block-form params. (#16778) Thanks @danielpipernz.
+- Ollama/Agents: avoid forcing `<final>` tag enforcement for Ollama models, which could suppress all output as `(no output)`. (#16191) Thanks @Glucksberg.
+- Plugins: suppress false duplicate plugin id warnings when the same extension is discovered via multiple paths (config/workspace/global vs bundled), while still warning on genuine duplicates. (#16222) Thanks @shadril238.
+- Skills: watch `SKILL.md` only when refreshing skills snapshot to avoid file-descriptor exhaustion in large data trees. (#11325) Thanks @household-bard.
+- Memory/QMD: make `memory status` read-only by skipping QMD boot update/embed side effects for status-only manager checks.
+- Memory/QMD: keep original QMD failures when builtin fallback initialization fails (for example missing embedding API keys), instead of replacing them with fallback init errors.
+- Memory/Builtin: keep `memory status` dirty reporting stable across invocations by deriving status-only manager dirty state from persisted index metadata instead of process-start defaults. (#10863) Thanks @BarryYangi.
+- Memory/QMD: cap QMD command output buffering to prevent memory exhaustion from pathological `qmd` command output.
+- Memory/QMD: parse qmd scope keys once per request to avoid repeated parsing in scope checks.
+- Memory/QMD: query QMD index using exact docid matches before falling back to prefix lookup for better recall correctness and index efficiency.
+- Memory/QMD: pass result limits to `search`/`vsearch` commands so QMD can cap results earlier.
+- Memory/QMD: avoid reading full markdown files when a `from/lines` window is requested in QMD reads.
+- Memory/QMD: skip rewriting unchanged session export markdown files during sync to reduce disk churn.
+- Memory/QMD: make QMD result JSON parsing resilient to noisy command output by extracting the first JSON array from noisy `stdout`.
+- Memory/QMD: treat prefixed `no results found` marker output as an empty result set in qmd JSON parsing. (#11302) Thanks @blazerui.
+- Memory/QMD: avoid multi-collection `query` ranking corruption by running one `qmd query -c <collection>` per managed collection and merging by best score (also used for `search`/`vsearch` fallback-to-query). (#16740) Thanks @volarian-vai.
+- Memory/QMD: make `openclaw memory index` verify and print the active QMD index file path/size, and fail when QMD leaves a missing or zero-byte index artifact after an update. (#16775) Thanks @Shunamxiao.
+- Memory/QMD: detect null-byte `ENOTDIR` update failures, rebuild managed collections once, and retry update to self-heal corrupted collection metadata. (#12919) Thanks @jorgejhms.
+- Memory/QMD/Security: add `rawKeyPrefix` support for QMD scope rules and preserve legacy `keyPrefix: "agent:..."` matching, preventing scoped deny bypass when operators match agent-prefixed session keys.
+- Memory/Builtin: narrow memory watcher targets to markdown globs and ignore dependency/venv directories to reduce file-descriptor pressure during memory sync startup. (#11721) Thanks @rex05ai.
+- Security/Memory-LanceDB: treat recalled memories as untrusted context (escape injected memory text + explicit non-instruction framing), skip likely prompt-injection payloads during auto-capture, and restrict auto-capture to user messages to reduce memory-poisoning risk. (#12524) Thanks @davidschmid24.
+- Security/Memory-LanceDB: require explicit `autoCapture: true` opt-in (default is now disabled) to prevent automatic PII capture unless operators intentionally enable it. (#12552) Thanks @fr33d3m0n.
+- Diagnostics/Memory: prune stale diagnostic session state entries and cap tracked session states to prevent unbounded in-memory growth on long-running gateways. (#5136) Thanks @coygeek and @vignesh07.
+- Gateway/Memory: clean up `agentRunSeq` tracking on run completion/abort and enforce maintenance-time cap pruning to prevent unbounded sequence-map growth over long uptimes. (#6036) Thanks @coygeek and @vignesh07.
+- Auto-reply/Memory: bound `ABORT_MEMORY` growth by evicting oldest entries and deleting reset (`false`) flags so abort state tracking cannot grow unbounded over long uptimes. (#6629) Thanks @coygeek and @vignesh07.
+- Slack/Memory: bound thread-starter cache growth with TTL + max-size pruning to prevent long-running Slack gateways from accumulating unbounded thread cache state. (#5258) Thanks @coygeek and @vignesh07.
+- Outbound/Memory: bound directory cache growth with max-size eviction and proactive TTL pruning to prevent long-running gateways from accumulating unbounded directory entries. (#5140) Thanks @coygeek and @vignesh07.
+- Skills/Memory: remove disconnected nodes from remote-skills cache to prevent stale node metadata from accumulating over long uptimes. (#6760) Thanks @coygeek.
+- Sandbox/Tools: make sandbox file tools bind-mount aware (including absolute container paths) and enforce read-only bind semantics for writes. (#16379) Thanks @tasaankaeris.
+- Sandbox/Prompts: show the sandbox container workdir as the prompt working directory and clarify host-path usage for file tools, preventing host-path `exec` failures in sandbox sessions. (#16790) Thanks @carrotRakko.
+- Media/Security: allow local media reads from OpenClaw state `workspace/` and `sandboxes/` roots by default so generated workspace media can be delivered without unsafe global path bypasses. (#15541) Thanks @lanceji.
+- Media/Security: harden local media allowlist bypasses by requiring an explicit `readFile` override when callers mark paths as validated, and reject filesystem-root `localRoots` entries. (#16739)
+- Media/Security: allow outbound local media reads from the active agent workspace (including `workspace-<agentId>`) via agent-scoped local roots, avoiding broad global allowlisting of all per-agent workspaces. (#17136) Thanks @MisterGuy420.
+- Outbound/Media: thread explicit `agentId` through core `sendMessage` direct-delivery path so agent-scoped local media roots apply even when mirror metadata is absent. (#17268) Thanks @gumadeiras.
+- Discord/Security: harden voice message media loading (SSRF + allowed-local-root checks) so tool-supplied paths/URLs cannot be used to probe internal URLs or read arbitrary local files.
+- Security/BlueBubbles: require explicit `mediaLocalRoots` allowlists for local outbound media path reads to prevent local file disclosure. (#16322) Thanks @mbelinky.
+- Security/BlueBubbles: reject ambiguous shared-path webhook routing when multiple webhook targets match the same guid/password.
+- Security/BlueBubbles: harden BlueBubbles webhook auth behind reverse proxies by only accepting passwordless webhooks for direct localhost loopback requests (forwarded/proxied requests now require a password). Thanks @simecek.
+- Feishu/Security: harden media URL fetching against SSRF and local file disclosure. (#16285) Thanks @mbelinky.
+- Security/Zalo: reject ambiguous shared-path webhook routing when multiple webhook targets match the same secret.
+- Security/Nostr: require loopback source and block cross-origin profile mutation/import attempts. Thanks @vincentkoc.
+- Security/Signal: harden signal-cli archive extraction during install to prevent path traversal outside the install root.
+- Security/Hooks: restrict hook transform modules to `~/.openclaw/hooks/transforms` (prevents path traversal/escape module loads via config). Config note: `hooks.transformsDir` must now be within that directory. Thanks @akhmittra.
+- Security/Hooks: ignore hook package manifest entries that point outside the package directory (prevents out-of-tree handler loads during hook discovery).
+- Security/Archive: enforce archive extraction entry/size limits to prevent resource exhaustion from high-expansion ZIP/TAR archives. Thanks @vincentkoc.
+- Security/Media: reject oversized base64-backed input media before decoding to avoid large allocations. Thanks @vincentkoc.
+- Security/Media: stream and bound URL-backed input media fetches to prevent memory exhaustion from oversized responses. Thanks @vincentkoc.
+- Security/Skills: harden archive extraction for download-installed skills to prevent path traversal outside the target directory. Thanks @markmusson.
+- Security/Slack: compute command authorization for DM slash commands even when `dmPolicy=open`, preventing unauthorized users from running privileged commands via DM. Thanks @christos-eth.
+- Security/iMessage: keep DM pairing-store identities out of group allowlist authorization (prevents cross-context command authorization). Thanks @vincentkoc.
+- Security/Google Chat: deprecate `users/<email>` allowlists (treat `users/...` as immutable user id only); keep raw email allowlists for usability. Thanks @vincentkoc.
+- Security/Google Chat: reject ambiguous shared-path webhook routing when multiple webhook targets verify successfully (prevents cross-account policy-context misrouting). Thanks @vincentkoc.
+- Telegram/Security: require numeric Telegram sender IDs for allowlist authorization (reject `@username` principals), auto-resolve `@username` to IDs in `openclaw doctor --fix` (when possible), and warn in `openclaw security audit` when legacy configs contain usernames. Thanks @vincentkoc.
+- Telegram/Security: reject Telegram webhook startup when `webhookSecret` is missing or empty (prevents unauthenticated webhook request forgery). Thanks @yueyueL.
+- Security/Windows: avoid shell invocation when spawning child processes to prevent cmd.exe metacharacter injection via untrusted CLI arguments (e.g. agent prompt text).
+- Telegram: set webhook callback timeout handling to `onTimeout: "return"` (10s) so long-running update processing no longer emits webhook 500s and retry storms. (#16763) Thanks @chansearrington.
+- Signal: preserve case-sensitive `group:` target IDs during normalization so mixed-case group IDs no longer fail with `Group not found`. (#16748) Thanks @repfigit.
+- Feishu/Security: harden media URL fetching against SSRF and local file disclosure. (#16285) Thanks @mbelinky.
+- Security/Agents: scope CLI process cleanup to owned child PIDs to avoid killing unrelated processes on shared hosts. Thanks @aether-ai-agent.
+- Security/Agents: enforce workspace-root path bounds for `apply_patch` in non-sandbox mode to block traversal and symlink escape writes. Thanks @p80n-sec.
+- Security/Agents: enforce symlink-escape checks for `apply_patch` delete hunks under `workspaceOnly`, while still allowing deleting the symlink itself. Thanks @p80n-sec.
+- Security/Agents (macOS): prevent shell injection when writing Claude CLI keychain credentials. (#15924) Thanks @aether-ai-agent.
+- macOS: hard-limit unkeyed `openclaw://agent` deep links and ignore `deliver` / `to` / `channel` unless a valid unattended key is provided. Thanks @Cillian-Collins.
+- Scripts/Security: validate GitHub logins and avoid shell invocation in `scripts/update-clawtributors.ts` to prevent command injection via malicious commit records. Thanks @scanleale.
+- Security: fix Chutes manual OAuth login state validation by requiring the full redirect URL (reject code-only pastes) (thanks @aether-ai-agent).
+- Security/Gateway: harden tool-supplied `gatewayUrl` overrides by restricting them to loopback or the configured `gateway.remote.url`. Thanks @p80n-sec.
+- Security/Gateway: block `system.execApprovals.*` via `node.invoke` (use `exec.approvals.node.*` instead). Thanks @christos-eth.
+- Security/Gateway: reject oversized base64 chat attachments before decoding to avoid large allocations. Thanks @vincentkoc.
+- Security/Gateway: stop returning raw resolved config values in `skills.status` requirement checks (prevents operator.read clients from reading secrets). Thanks @simecek.
+- Security/Net: fix SSRF guard bypass via full-form IPv4-mapped IPv6 literals (blocks loopback/private/metadata access). Thanks @yueyueL.
+- Security/Browser: harden browser control file upload + download helpers to prevent path traversal / local file disclosure. Thanks @1seal.
+- Security/Browser: block cross-origin mutating requests to loopback browser control routes (CSRF hardening). Thanks @vincentkoc.
+- Security/Node Host: enforce `system.run` rawCommand/argv consistency to prevent allowlist/approval bypass. Thanks @christos-eth.
+- Security/Exec approvals: prevent safeBins allowlist bypass via shell expansion (host exec allowlist mode only; not enabled by default). Thanks @christos-eth.
+- Security/Exec: harden PATH handling by disabling project-local `node_modules/.bin` bootstrapping by default, disallowing node-host `PATH` overrides, and spawning ACP servers via the current executable by default. Thanks @akhmittra.
+- Security/Tlon: harden Urbit URL fetching against SSRF by blocking private/internal hosts by default (opt-in: `channels.tlon.allowPrivateNetwork`). Thanks @p80n-sec.
+- Security/Voice Call (Telnyx): require webhook signature verification when receiving inbound events; configs without `telnyx.publicKey` are now rejected unless `skipSignatureVerification` is enabled. Thanks @p80n-sec.
+- Security/Voice Call: require valid Twilio webhook signatures even when ngrok free tier loopback compatibility mode is enabled. Thanks @p80n-sec.
+- Security/Discovery: stop treating Bonjour TXT records as authoritative routing (prefer resolved service endpoints) and prevent discovery from overriding stored TLS pins; autoconnect now requires a previously trusted gateway. Thanks @simecek.
+
+## 2026.2.13
+
+### Changes
+
+- Install: add optional Podman-based setup: `setup-podman.sh` for one-time host setup (openclaw user, image, launch script, systemd quadlet), `run-openclaw-podman.sh launch` / `launch setup`; systemd Quadlet unit for openclaw user service; docs for rootless container, openclaw user (subuid/subgid), and quadlet (troubleshooting). (#16273) Thanks @DarwinsBuddy.
+- Discord: send voice messages with waveform previews from local audio files (including silent delivery). (#7253) Thanks @nyanjou.
+- Discord: add configurable presence status/activity/type/url (custom status defaults to activity text). (#10855) Thanks @h0tp-ftw.
+- Slack/Plugins: add thread-ownership outbound gating via `message_sending` hooks, including @-mention bypass tracking and Slack outbound hook wiring for cancel/modify behavior. (#15775) Thanks @DarlingtonDeveloper.
+- Agents: add synthetic catalog support for `hf:zai-org/GLM-5`. (#15867) Thanks @battman21.
+- Skills: remove duplicate `local-places` Google Places skill/proxy and keep `goplaces` as the single supported Google Places path.
+- Agents: add pre-prompt context diagnostics (`messages`, `systemPromptChars`, `promptChars`, provider/model, session file) before embedded runner prompt calls to improve overflow debugging. (#8930) Thanks @Glucksberg.
+- Onboarding/Providers: add first-class Hugging Face Inference provider support (provider wiring, onboarding auth choice/API key flow, and default-model selection), and preserve Hugging Face auth intent in auth-choice remapping (`tokenProvider=huggingface` with `authChoice=apiKey`) while skipping env-override prompts when an explicit token is provided. (#13472) Thanks @Josephrp.
+- Onboarding/Providers: add `minimax-api-key-cn` auth choice for the MiniMax China API endpoint. (#15191) Thanks @liuy.
+
+### Breaking
+
+- Config/State: removed legacy `.moltbot` auto-detection/migration and `moltbot.json` config candidates. If you still have state/config under `~/.moltbot`, move it to `~/.openclaw` (recommended) or set `OPENCLAW_STATE_DIR` / `OPENCLAW_CONFIG_PATH` explicitly.
+
+### Fixes
+
+- Gateway/Auth: add trusted-proxy mode hardening follow-ups by keeping `OPENCLAW_GATEWAY_*` env compatibility, auto-normalizing invalid setup combinations in interactive `gateway configure` (trusted-proxy forces `bind=lan` and disables Tailscale serve/funnel), and suppressing shared-secret/rate-limit audit findings that do not apply to trusted-proxy deployments. (#15940) Thanks @nickytonline.
+- Docs/Hooks: update hooks documentation URLs to the new `/automation/hooks` location. (#16165) Thanks @nicholascyh.
+- Security/Audit: warn when `gateway.tools.allow` re-enables default-denied tools over HTTP `POST /tools/invoke`, since this can increase RCE blast radius if the gateway is reachable.
+- Security/Plugins/Hooks: harden npm-based installs by restricting specs to registry packages only, passing `--ignore-scripts` to `npm pack`, and cleaning up temp install directories.
+- Security/Sessions: preserve inter-session input provenance for routed prompts so delegated/internal sessions are not treated as direct external user instructions. Thanks @anbecker.
+- Feishu: stop persistent Typing reaction on NO_REPLY/suppressed runs by wiring reply-dispatcher cleanup to remove typing indicators. (#15464) Thanks @arosstale.
+- Agents: strip leading empty lines from `sanitizeUserFacingText` output and normalize whitespace-only outputs to empty text. (#16158) Thanks @mcinteerj.
+- BlueBubbles: gracefully degrade when Private API is disabled by filtering private-only actions, skipping private-only reactions/reply effects, and avoiding private reply markers so non-private flows remain usable. (#16002) Thanks @L-U-C-K-Y.
+- Outbound: add a write-ahead delivery queue with crash-recovery retries to prevent lost outbound messages after gateway restarts. (#15636) Thanks @nabbilkhan, @thewilloftheshadow.
+- Auto-reply/Threading: auto-inject implicit reply threading so `replyToMode` works without requiring model-emitted `[[reply_to_current]]`, while preserving `replyToMode: "off"` behavior for implicit Slack replies and keeping block-streaming chunk coalescing stable under `replyToMode: "first"`. (#14976) Thanks @Diaspar4u.
+- Auto-reply/Threading: honor explicit `[[reply_to_*]]` tags even when `replyToMode` is `off`. (#16174) Thanks @aldoeliacim.
+- Plugins/Threading: rename `allowTagsWhenOff` to `allowExplicitReplyTagsWhenOff` and keep the old key as a deprecated alias for compatibility. (#16189)
+- Outbound/Threading: pass `replyTo` and `threadId` from `message send` tool actions through the core outbound send path to channel adapters, preserving thread/reply routing. (#14948) Thanks @mcaxtr.
+- Auto-reply/Media: allow image-only inbound messages (no caption) to reach the agent instead of short-circuiting as empty text, and preserve thread context in queued/followup prompt bodies for media-only runs. (#11916) Thanks @arosstale.
+- Discord: route autoThread replies to existing threads instead of the root channel. (#8302) Thanks @gavinbmoore, @thewilloftheshadow.
+- Web UI: add `img` to DOMPurify allowed tags and `src`/`alt` to allowed attributes so markdown images render in webchat instead of being stripped. (#15437) Thanks @lailoo.
+- Telegram/Matrix: treat MP3 and M4A (including `audio/mp4`) as voice-compatible for `asVoice` routing, and keep WAV/AAC falling back to regular audio sends. (#15438) Thanks @azade-c.
+- WhatsApp: preserve outbound document filenames for web-session document sends instead of always sending `"file"`. (#15594) Thanks @TsekaLuk.
+- Telegram: cap bot menu registration to Telegram's 100-command limit with an overflow warning while keeping typed hidden commands available. (#15844) Thanks @battman21.
+- Telegram: scope skill commands to the resolved agent for default accounts so `setMyCommands` no longer triggers `BOT_COMMANDS_TOO_MUCH` when multiple agents are configured. (#15599)
+- Discord: avoid misrouting numeric guild allowlist entries to `/channels/<guildId>` by prefixing guild-only inputs with `guild:` during resolution. (#12326) Thanks @headswim.
+- Memory/QMD: default `memory.qmd.searchMode` to `search` for faster CPU-only recall and always scope `search`/`vsearch` requests to managed collections (auto-falling back to `query` when required). (#16047) Thanks @togotago.
+- Memory/LanceDB: add configurable `captureMaxChars` for auto-capture while keeping the legacy 500-char default. (#16641) Thanks @ciberponk.
+- MS Teams: preserve parsed mention entities/text when appending OneDrive fallback file links, and accept broader real-world Teams mention ID formats (`29:...`, `8:orgid:...`) while still rejecting placeholder patterns. (#15436) Thanks @hyojin.
+- Media: classify `text/*` MIME types as documents in media-kind routing so text attachments are no longer treated as unknown. (#12237) Thanks @arosstale.
+- Inbound/Web UI: preserve literal `\n` sequences when normalizing inbound text so Windows paths like `C:\\Work\\nxxx\\README.md` are not corrupted. (#11547) Thanks @mcaxtr.
+- TUI/Streaming: preserve richer streamed assistant text when final payload drops pre-tool-call text blocks, while keeping non-empty final payload authoritative for plain-text updates. (#15452) Thanks @TsekaLuk.
+- Providers/MiniMax: switch implicit MiniMax API-key provider from `openai-completions` to `anthropic-messages` with the correct Anthropic-compatible base URL, fixing `invalid role: developer (2013)` errors on MiniMax M2.5. (#15275) Thanks @lailoo.
+- Ollama/Agents: use resolved model/provider base URLs for native `/api/chat` streaming (including aliased providers), normalize `/v1` endpoints, and forward abort + `maxTokens` stream options for reliable cancellation and token caps. (#11853) Thanks @BrokenFinger98.
+- OpenAI Codex/Spark: implement end-to-end `gpt-5.3-codex-spark` support across fallback/thinking/model resolution and `models list` forward-compat visibility. (#14990, #15174) Thanks @L-U-C-K-Y, @loiie45e.
+- Agents/Codex: allow `gpt-5.3-codex-spark` in forward-compat fallback, live model filtering, and thinking presets, and fix model-picker recognition for spark. (#14990) Thanks @L-U-C-K-Y.
+- Models/Codex: resolve configured `openai-codex/gpt-5.3-codex-spark` through forward-compat fallback during `models list`, so it is not incorrectly tagged as missing when runtime resolution succeeds. (#15174) Thanks @loiie45e.
+- OpenAI Codex/Auth: bridge OpenClaw OAuth profiles into `pi` `auth.json` so model discovery and models-list registry resolution can use Codex OAuth credentials. (#15184) Thanks @loiie45e.
+- Auth/OpenAI Codex: share OAuth login handling across onboarding and `models auth login --provider openai-codex`, keep onboarding alive when OAuth fails, and surface a direct OAuth help note instead of terminating the wizard. (#15406, follow-up to #14552) Thanks @zhiluo20.
+- Onboarding/Providers: add vLLM as an onboarding provider with model discovery, auth profile wiring, and non-interactive auth-choice validation. (#12577) Thanks @gejifeng.
+- Onboarding/CLI: restore terminal state without resuming paused `stdin`, so onboarding exits cleanly (including Docker TTY installs that would otherwise hang). (#12972) Thanks @vincentkoc.
+- Signal/Install: auto-install `signal-cli` via Homebrew on non-x64 Linux architectures, avoiding x86_64 native binary `Exec format error` failures on arm64/arm hosts. (#15443) Thanks @jogvan-k.
+- macOS Voice Wake: fix a crash in trigger trimming for CJK/Unicode transcripts by matching and slicing on original-string ranges instead of transformed-string indices. (#11052) Thanks @Flash-LHR.
+- Mattermost (plugin): retry websocket monitor connections with exponential backoff and abort-aware teardown so transient connect failures no longer permanently stop monitoring. (#14962) Thanks @mcaxtr.
+- Discord/Agents: apply channel/group `historyLimit` during embedded-runner history compaction to prevent long-running channel sessions from bypassing truncation and overflowing context windows. (#11224) Thanks @shadril238.
+- Outbound targets: fail closed for WhatsApp/Twitch/Google Chat fallback paths so invalid or missing targets are dropped instead of rerouted, and align resolver hints with strict target requirements. (#13578) Thanks @mcaxtr.
+- Gateway/Restart: clear stale command-queue and heartbeat wake runtime state after SIGUSR1 in-process restarts to prevent zombie gateway behavior where queued work stops draining. (#15195) Thanks @joeykrug.
+- Heartbeat: prevent scheduler silent-death races during runner reloads, preserve retry cooldown backoff under wake bursts, and prioritize user/action wake causes over interval/retry reasons when coalescing. (#15108) Thanks @joeykrug.
+- Heartbeat: allow explicit wake (`wake`) and hook wake (`hook:*`) reasons to run even when `HEARTBEAT.md` is effectively empty so queued system events are processed. (#14527) Thanks @arosstale.
+- Auto-reply/Heartbeat: strip sentence-ending `HEARTBEAT_OK` tokens even when followed by up to 4 punctuation characters, while preserving surrounding sentence punctuation. (#15847) Thanks @Spacefish.
+- Sessions/Agents: pass `agentId` when resolving existing transcript paths in reply runs so non-default agents and heartbeat/chat handlers no longer fail with `Session file path must be within sessions directory`. (#15141) Thanks @Goldenmonstew.
+- Sessions/Agents: pass `agentId` through status and usage transcript-resolution paths (auto-reply, gateway usage APIs, and session cost/log loaders) so non-default agents can resolve absolute session files without path-validation failures. (#15103) Thanks @jalehman.
+- Sessions: archive previous transcript files on `/new` and `/reset` session resets (including gateway `sessions.reset`) so stale transcripts do not accumulate on disk. (#14869) Thanks @mcaxtr.
+- Status/Sessions: stop clamping derived `totalTokens` to context-window size, keep prompt-token snapshots wired through session accounting, and surface context usage as unknown when fresh snapshot data is missing to avoid false 100% reports. (#15114) Thanks @echoVic.
+- Gateway/Routing: speed up hot paths for session listing (derived titles + previews), WS broadcast, and binding resolution.
+- Gateway/Sessions: cache derived title + last-message transcript reads to speed up repeated sessions list refreshes.
+- CLI/Completion: route plugin-load logs to stderr and write generated completion scripts directly to stdout to avoid `source <(openclaw completion ...)` corruption. (#15481) Thanks @arosstale.
+- CLI: lazily load outbound provider dependencies and remove forced success-path exits so commands terminate naturally without killing intentional long-running foreground actions. (#12906) Thanks @DrCrinkle.
+- CLI: speed up startup by lazily registering core commands (keeps rich `--help` while reducing cold-start overhead).
+- Security/Gateway + ACP: block high-risk tools (`sessions_spawn`, `sessions_send`, `gateway`, `whatsapp_login`) from HTTP `/tools/invoke` by default with `gateway.tools.{allow,deny}` overrides, and harden ACP permission selection to fail closed when tool identity/options are ambiguous while supporting `allow_always`/`reject_always`. (#15390) Thanks @aether-ai-agent.
+- Security/ACP: prompt for non-read/search permission requests in ACP clients (reduces silent tool approval risk). Thanks @aether-ai-agent.
+- Security/Gateway: breaking default-behavior change - canvas IP-based auth fallback now only accepts machine-scoped addresses (RFC1918, link-local, ULA IPv6, CGNAT); public-source IP matches now require bearer token auth. (#14661) Thanks @sumleo.
+- Security/Link understanding: block loopback/internal host patterns and private/mapped IPv6 addresses in extracted URL handling to close SSRF bypasses in link CLI flows. (#15604) Thanks @AI-Reviewer-QS.
+- Security/Browser: constrain `POST /trace/stop`, `POST /wait/download`, and `POST /download` output paths to OpenClaw temp roots and reject traversal/escape paths.
+- Security/Browser: sanitize download `suggestedFilename` to keep implicit `wait/download` paths within the downloads root. Thanks @1seal.
+- Security/Browser: confine `POST /hooks/file-chooser` upload paths to an OpenClaw temp uploads root and reject traversal/escape paths. Thanks @1seal.
+- Security/Browser: require auth for the sandbox browser bridge server (protects `/profiles`, `/tabs`, CDP URLs, and other control endpoints). Thanks @jackhax.
+- Security: bind local helper servers to loopback and fail closed on non-loopback OAuth callback hosts (reduces localhost/LAN attack surface).
+- Security/Canvas: serve A2UI assets via the shared safe-open path (`openFileWithinRoot`) to close traversal/TOCTOU gaps, with traversal and symlink regression coverage. (#10525) Thanks @abdelsfane.
+- Security/WhatsApp: enforce `0o600` on `creds.json` and `creds.json.bak` on save/backup/restore paths to reduce credential file exposure. (#10529) Thanks @abdelsfane.
+- Security/Gateway: sanitize and truncate untrusted WebSocket header values in pre-handshake close logs to reduce log-poisoning risk. Thanks @thewilloftheshadow.
+- Security/Audit: add misconfiguration checks for sandbox Docker config with sandbox mode off, ineffective `gateway.nodes.denyCommands` entries, global minimal tool-profile overrides by agent profiles, and permissive extension-plugin tool reachability.
+- Security/Audit: distinguish external webhooks (`hooks.enabled`) from internal hooks (`hooks.internal.enabled`) in attack-surface summaries to avoid false exposure signals when only internal hooks are enabled. (#13474) Thanks @mcaxtr.
+- Security/Onboarding: clarify multi-user DM isolation remediation with explicit `openclaw config set session.dmScope ...` commands in security audit, doctor security, and channel onboarding guidance. (#13129) Thanks @VintLin.
+- Security/Gateway: bind node `system.run` approval overrides to gateway exec-approval records (runId-bound), preventing approval-bypass via `node.invoke` param injection. Thanks @222n5.
+- Agents/Nodes: harden node exec approval decision handling in the `nodes` tool run path by failing closed on unexpected approval decisions, and add regression coverage for approval-required retry/deny/timeout flows. (#4726) Thanks @rmorse.
+- Android/Nodes: harden `app.update` by requiring HTTPS and gateway-host URL matching plus SHA-256 verification, stream URL camera downloads to disk with size guards to avoid memory spikes, and stop signing release builds with debug keys. (#13541) Thanks @smartprogrammer93.
+- Routing: enforce strict binding-scope matching across peer/guild/team/roles so peer-scoped Discord/Slack bindings no longer match unrelated guild/team contexts or fallback tiers. (#15274) Thanks @lailoo.
+- Exec/Allowlist: allow multiline heredoc bodies (`<<`, `<<-`) while keeping multiline non-heredoc shell commands blocked, so exec approval parsing permits heredoc input safely without allowing general newline command chaining. (#13811) Thanks @mcaxtr.
+- Config: preserve `${VAR}` env references when writing config files so `openclaw config set/apply/patch` does not persist secrets to disk. Thanks @thewilloftheshadow.
+- Config: remove a cross-request env-snapshot race in config writes by carrying read-time env context into write calls per request, preserving `${VAR}` refs safely under concurrent gateway config mutations. (#11560) Thanks @akoscz.
+- Config: log overwrite audit entries (path, backup target, and hash transition) whenever an existing config file is replaced, improving traceability for unexpected config clobbers.
+- Config: keep legacy audio transcription migration strict by rejecting non-string/unsafe command tokens while still migrating valid custom script executables. (#5042) Thanks @shayan919293.
+- Config: accept `$schema` key in config file so JSON Schema editor tooling works without validation errors. (#14998)
+- Gateway/Tools Invoke: sanitize `/tools/invoke` execution failures while preserving `400` for tool input errors and returning `500` for unexpected runtime failures, with regression coverage and docs updates. (#13185) Thanks @davidrudduck.
+- Gateway/Hooks: preserve `408` for hook request-body timeout responses while keeping bounded auth-failure cache eviction behavior, with timeout-status regression coverage. (#15848) Thanks @AI-Reviewer-QS.
+- Plugins/Hooks: fire `before_tool_call` hook exactly once per tool invocation in embedded runs by removing duplicate dispatch paths while preserving parameter mutation semantics. (#15635) Thanks @lailoo.
+- Agents/Transcript policy: sanitize OpenAI/Codex tool-call ids during transcript policy normalization to prevent invalid tool-call identifiers from propagating into session history. (#15279) Thanks @divisonofficer.
+- Agents/Image tool: cap image-analysis completion `maxTokens` by model capability (`min(4096, model.maxTokens)`) to avoid over-limit provider failures while still preventing truncation. (#11770) Thanks @detecti1.
+- Agents/Compaction: centralize exec default resolution in the shared tool factory so per-agent `tools.exec` overrides (host/security/ask/node and related defaults) persist across compaction retries. (#15833) Thanks @napetrov.
+- Gateway/Agents: stop injecting a phantom `main` agent into gateway agent listings when `agents.list` explicitly excludes it. (#11450) Thanks @arosstale.
+- Process/Exec: avoid shell execution for `.exe` commands on Windows so env overrides work reliably in `runCommandWithTimeout`. Thanks @thewilloftheshadow.
+- Daemon/Windows: preserve literal backslashes in `gateway.cmd` command parsing so drive and UNC paths are not corrupted in runtime checks and doctor entrypoint comparisons. (#15642) Thanks @arosstale.
+- Sandbox: pass configured `sandbox.docker.env` variables to sandbox containers at `docker create` time. (#15138) Thanks @stevebot-alive.
+- Voice Call: route webhook runtime event handling through shared manager event logic so rejected inbound hangups are idempotent in production, with regression tests for duplicate reject events and provider-call-ID remapping parity. (#15892) Thanks @dcantu96.
+- Cron: add regression coverage for announce-mode isolated jobs so runs that already report `delivered: true` do not enqueue duplicate main-session relays, including delivery configs where `mode` is omitted and defaults to announce. (#15737) Thanks @brandonwise.
+- Cron: honor `deleteAfterRun` in isolated announce delivery by mapping it to subagent announce cleanup mode, so cron run sessions configured for deletion are removed after completion. (#15368) Thanks @arosstale.
+- Web tools/web_fetch: prefer `text/markdown` responses for Cloudflare Markdown for Agents, add `cf-markdown` extraction for markdown bodies, and redact fetched URLs in `x-markdown-tokens` debug logs to avoid leaking raw paths/query params. (#15376) Thanks @Yaxuan42.
+- Tools/web_search: support `freshness` for the Perplexity provider by mapping `pd`/`pw`/`pm`/`py` to Perplexity `search_recency_filter` values and including freshness in the Perplexity cache key. (#15343) Thanks @echoVic.
+- Clawdock: avoid Zsh readonly variable collisions in helper scripts. (#15501) Thanks @nkelner.
+- Memory: switch default local embedding model to the QAT `embeddinggemma-300m-qat-Q8_0` variant for better quality at the same footprint. (#15429) Thanks @azade-c.
+- Docs/Mermaid: remove hardcoded Mermaid init theme blocks from four docs diagrams so dark mode inherits readable theme defaults. (#15157) Thanks @heytulsiprasad.
+- Security/Pairing: generate 256-bit base64url device and node pairing tokens and use byte-safe constant-time verification to avoid token-compare edge-case failures. (#16535) Thanks @FaizanKolega, @gumadeiras.
+
+## 2026.2.12
+
+### Changes
+
+- CLI/Plugins: add `openclaw plugins uninstall <id>` with `--dry-run`, `--force`, and `--keep-files` options, including safe uninstall path handling and plugin uninstall docs. (#5985) Thanks @JustasMonkev.
+- CLI: add `openclaw logs --local-time` to display log timestamps in local timezone. (#13818) Thanks @xialonglee.
+- Telegram: render blockquotes as native `<blockquote>` tags instead of stripping them. (#14608)
+- Telegram: expose `/compact` in the native command menu. (#10352) Thanks @akramcodez.
+- Discord: add role-based allowlists and role-based agent routing. (#10650) Thanks @Minidoracat.
+- Config: avoid redacting `maxTokens`-like fields during config snapshot redaction, preventing round-trip validation failures in `/config`. (#14006) Thanks @constansino.
+
+### Breaking
+
+- Hooks: `POST /hooks/agent` now rejects payload `sessionKey` overrides by default. To keep fixed hook context, set `hooks.defaultSessionKey` (recommended with `hooks.allowedSessionKeyPrefixes: ["hook:"]`). If you need legacy behavior, explicitly set `hooks.allowRequestSessionKey: true`. Thanks @alpernae for reporting.
+
+### Fixes
+
+- Gateway/OpenResponses: harden URL-based `input_file`/`input_image` handling with explicit SSRF deny policy, hostname allowlists (`files.urlAllowlist` / `images.urlAllowlist`), per-request URL input caps (`maxUrlParts`), blocked-fetch audit logging, and regression coverage/docs updates.
+- Sessions: guard `withSessionStoreLock` against undefined `storePath` to prevent `path.dirname` crash. (#14717)
+- Security: fix unauthenticated Nostr profile API remote config tampering. (#13719) Thanks @coygeek.
+- Security: remove bundled soul-evil hook. (#14757) Thanks @Imccccc.
+- Security/Audit: add hook session-routing hardening checks (`hooks.defaultSessionKey`, `hooks.allowRequestSessionKey`, and prefix allowlists), and warn when HTTP API endpoints allow explicit session-key routing.
+- Security/Sandbox: confine mirrored skill sync destinations to the sandbox `skills/` root and stop using frontmatter-controlled skill names as filesystem destination paths. Thanks @1seal.
+- Security/Web tools: treat browser/web content as untrusted by default (wrapped outputs for browser snapshot/tabs/console and structured external-content metadata for web tools), and strip `toolResult.details` from model-facing transcript/compaction inputs to reduce prompt-injection replay risk.
+- Security/Hooks: harden webhook and device token verification with shared constant-time secret comparison, and add per-client auth-failure throttling for hook endpoints (`429` + `Retry-After`). Thanks @akhmittra.
+- Security/Browser: require auth for loopback browser control HTTP routes, auto-generate `gateway.auth.token` when browser control starts without auth, and add a security-audit check for unauthenticated browser control. Thanks @tcusolle.
+- Sessions/Gateway: harden transcript path resolution and reject unsafe session IDs/file paths so session operations stay within agent sessions directories. Thanks @akhmittra.
+- Sessions: preserve `verboseLevel`, `thinkingLevel`/`reasoningLevel`, and `ttsAuto` overrides across `/new` and `/reset` session resets. (#10787) Thanks @mcaxtr.
+- Gateway: raise WS payload/buffer limits so 5,000,000-byte image attachments work reliably. (#14486) Thanks @0xRaini.
+- Logging/CLI: use local timezone timestamps for console prefixing, and include `±HH:MM` offsets when using `openclaw logs --local-time` to avoid ambiguity. (#14771) Thanks @0xRaini.
+- Gateway: drain active turns before restart to prevent message loss. (#13931) Thanks @0xRaini.
+- Gateway: auto-generate auth token during install to prevent launchd restart loops. (#13813) Thanks @cathrynlavery.
+- Gateway: prevent `undefined`/missing token in auth config. (#13809) Thanks @asklee-klawd.
+- Configure/Gateway: reject literal `"undefined"`/`"null"` token input and validate gateway password prompt values to avoid invalid password-mode configs. (#13767) Thanks @omair445.
+- Gateway: handle async `EPIPE` on stdout/stderr during shutdown. (#13414) Thanks @keshav55.
+- Gateway/Control UI: resolve missing dashboard assets when `openclaw` is installed globally via symlink-based Node managers (nvm/fnm/n/Homebrew). (#14919) Thanks @aynorica.
+- Gateway/Control UI: keep partial assistant output visible when runs are aborted, and persist aborted partials to session transcripts for follow-up context.

+OpenClaw's web interface (Gateway Control UI + HTTP endpoints) is intended for **local use only**.
+
+- Recommended: keep the Gateway **loopback-only** (`127.0.0.1` / `::1`).
+  - Config: `gateway.bind="loopback"` (default).
+  - CLI: `openclaw gateway run --bind loopback`.
+- Do **not** expose it to the public internet (no direct bind to `0.0.0.0`, no public reverse proxy). It is not hardened for public exposure.
+- If you need remote access, prefer an SSH tunnel or Tailscale serve/funnel (so the Gateway still binds to loopback), plus strong Gateway auth.
+- The Gateway HTTP surface includes the canvas host (`/__openclaw__/canvas/`, `/__openclaw__/a2ui/`). Treat canvas content as sensitive/untrusted and avoid exposing it beyond loopback unless you understand the risk.

 <ul>
-<li>Heartbeat: allow explicit accountId routing for multi-account channels. (#8702) Thanks @lsh411.</li>
-<li>TUI/Gateway: handle non-streaming finals, refresh history for non-local chat runs, and avoid event gap warnings for targeted tool streams. (#8432) Thanks @gumadeiras.</li>

-<li>Cron: deliver announce runs directly, honor delivery mode, and respect wakeMode for summaries. (#8540) Thanks @tyler6204.</li>
-<li>Telegram: include forward_from_chat metadata in forwarded messages and harden cron delivery target checks. (#8392) Thanks @Glucksberg.</li>
-<li>macOS: fix cron payload summary rendering and ISO 8601 formatter concurrency safety.</li>
+<li>CLI/Plugins: ensure <code>openclaw message send</code> exits after successful delivery across plugin-backed channels so one-shot sends do not hang. (#16491) Thanks @yinghaosang.</li>
+<li>CLI/Plugins: run registered plugin <code>gateway_stop</code> hooks before <code>openclaw message</code> exits (success and failure paths), so plugin-backed channels can clean up one-shot CLI resources. (#16580) Thanks @gumadeiras.</li>
+<li>WhatsApp: honor per-account <code>dmPolicy</code> overrides (account-level settings now take precedence over channel defaults for inbound DMs). (#10082) Thanks @mcaxtr.</li>
+<li>Telegram: when <code>channels.telegram.commands.native</code> is <code>false</code>, exclude plugin commands from <code>setMyCommands</code> menu registration while keeping plugin slash handlers callable. (#15132) Thanks @Glucksberg.</li>
+<li>LINE: return 200 OK for Developers Console "Verify" requests (<code>{"events":[]}</code>) without <code>X-Line-Signature</code>, while still requiring signatures for real deliveries. (#16582) Thanks @arosstale.</li>
+<li>Cron: deliver text-only output directly when <code>delivery.to</code> is set so cron recipients get full output instead of summaries. (#16360) Thanks @thewilloftheshadow.</li>
+<li>Cron/Slack: preserve agent identity (name and icon) when cron jobs deliver outbound messages. (#16242) Thanks @robbyczgw-cla.</li>
+<li>Media: accept <code>MEDIA:</code>-prefixed paths (lenient whitespace) when loading outbound media to prevent <code>ENOENT</code> for tool-returned local media paths. (#13107) Thanks @mcaxtr.</li>
+<li>Agents: deliver tool result media (screenshots, images, audio) to channels regardless of verbose level. (#11735) Thanks @strelov1.</li>
+<li>Agents/Image tool: allow workspace-local image paths by including the active workspace directory in local media allowlists, and trust sandbox-validated paths in image loaders to prevent false "not under an allowed directory" rejections. (#15541)</li>
+<li>Agents/Image tool: propagate the effective workspace root into tool wiring so workspace-local image paths are accepted by default when running without an explicit <code>workspaceDir</code>. (#16722)</li>
+<li>BlueBubbles: include sender identity in group chat envelopes and pass clean message text to the agent prompt, aligning with iMessage/Signal formatting. (#16210) Thanks @zerone0x.</li>
+<li>CLI: fix lazy core command registration so top-level maintenance commands (<code>doctor</code>, <code>dashboard</code>, <code>reset</code>, <code>uninstall</code>) resolve correctly instead of exposing a non-functional <code>maintenance</code> placeholder command.</li>
+<li>CLI/Dashboard: when <code>gateway.bind=lan</code>, generate localhost dashboard URLs to satisfy browser secure-context requirements while preserving non-LAN bind behavior. (#16434) Thanks @BinHPdev.</li>
+<li>TUI/Gateway: resolve local gateway target URL from <code>gateway.bind</code> mode (tailnet/lan) instead of hardcoded localhost so <code>openclaw tui</code> connects when gateway is non-loopback. (#16299) Thanks @cortexuvula.</li>
+<li>TUI: honor explicit <code>--session <key></code> in <code>openclaw tui</code> even when <code>session.scope</code> is <code>global</code>, so named sessions no longer collapse into shared global history. (#16575) Thanks @cinqu.</li>
+<li>TUI: use available terminal width for session name display in searchable select lists. (#16238) Thanks @robbyczgw-cla.</li>
+<li>TUI: refactor searchable select list description layout and add regression coverage for ANSI-highlight width bounds.</li>
+<li>TUI: preserve in-flight streaming replies when a different run finalizes concurrently (avoid clearing active run or reloading history mid-stream). (#10704) Thanks @axschr73.</li>
+<li>TUI: keep pre-tool streamed text visible when later tool-boundary deltas temporarily omit earlier text blocks. (#6958) Thanks @KrisKind75.</li>
+<li>TUI: sanitize ANSI/control-heavy history text, redact binary-like lines, and split pathological long unbroken tokens before rendering to prevent startup crashes on binary attachment history. (#13007) Thanks @wilkinspoe.</li>
+<li>TUI: harden render-time sanitizer for narrow terminals by chunking moderately long unbroken tokens and adding fast-path sanitization guards to reduce overhead on normal text. (#5355) Thanks @tingxueren.</li>
+<li>TUI: render assistant body text in terminal default foreground (instead of fixed light ANSI color) so contrast remains readable on light themes such as Solarized Light. (#16750) Thanks @paymog.</li>
+<li>TUI/Hooks: pass explicit reset reason (<code>new</code> vs <code>reset</code>) through <code>sessions.reset</code> and emit internal command hooks for gateway-triggered resets so <code>/new</code> hook workflows fire in TUI/webchat.</li>
+<li>Cron: prevent <code>cron list</code>/<code>cron status</code> from silently skipping past-due recurring jobs by using maintenance recompute semantics. (#16156) Thanks @zerone0x.</li>
+<li>Cron: repair missing/corrupt <code>nextRunAtMs</code> for the updated job without globally recomputing unrelated due jobs during <code>cron update</code>. (#15750)</li>
+<li>Cron: skip missed-job replay on startup for jobs interrupted mid-run (stale <code>runningAtMs</code> markers), preventing restart loops for self-restarting jobs such as update tasks. (#16694) Thanks @sbmilburn.</li>
+<li>Discord: prefer gateway guild id when logging inbound messages so cached-miss guilds do not appear as <code>guild=dm</code>. Thanks @thewilloftheshadow.</li>
+<li>Discord: treat empty per-guild <code>channels: {}</code> config maps as no channel allowlist (not deny-all), so <code>groupPolicy: "open"</code> guilds without explicit channel entries continue to receive messages. (#16714) Thanks @xqliu.</li>
+<li>Models/CLI: guard <code>models status</code> string trimming paths to prevent crashes from malformed non-string config values. (#16395) Thanks @BinHPdev.</li>
+<li>Gateway/Subagents: preserve queued announce items and summary state on delivery errors, retry failed announce drains, and avoid dropping unsent announcements on timeout/failure. (#16729) Thanks @Clawdette-Workspace.</li>
+<li>Gateway/Sessions: abort active embedded runs and clear queued session work before <code>sessions.reset</code>, returning unavailable if the run does not stop in time. (#16576) Thanks @Grynn.</li>
+<li>Sessions/Agents: harden transcript path resolution for mismatched agent context by preserving explicit store roots and adding safe absolute-path fallback to the correct agent sessions directory. (#16288) Thanks @robbyczgw-cla.</li>
+<li>Agents: add a safety timeout around embedded <code>session.compact()</code> to ensure stalled compaction runs settle and release blocked session lanes. (#16331) Thanks @BinHPdev.</li>
+<li>Agents: keep unresolved mutating tool failures visible until the same action retry succeeds, scope mutation-error surfacing to mutating calls (including <code>session_status</code> model changes), and dedupe duplicate failure warnings in outbound replies. (#16131) Thanks @Swader.</li>
+<li>Agents/Process/Bootstrap: preserve unbounded <code>process log</code> offset-only pagination (default tail applies only when both <code>offset</code> and <code>limit</code> are omitted) and enforce strict <code>bootstrapTotalMaxChars</code> budgeting across injected bootstrap content (including markers), skipping additional injection when remaining budget is too small. (#16539) Thanks @CharlieGreenman.</li>
+<li>Agents/Workspace: persist bootstrap onboarding state so partially initialized workspaces recover missing <code>BOOTSTRAP.md</code> once, while completed onboarding keeps BOOTSTRAP deleted even if runtime files are later recreated. Thanks @gumadeiras.</li>
+<li>Agents/Workspace: create <code>BOOTSTRAP.md</code> when core workspace files are seeded in partially initialized workspaces, while keeping BOOTSTRAP one-shot after onboarding deletion. (#16457) Thanks @robbyczgw-cla.</li>
+<li>Agents: classify external timeout aborts during compaction the same as internal timeouts, preventing unnecessary auth-profile rotation and preserving compaction-timeout snapshot fallback behavior. (#9855) Thanks @mverrilli.</li>
+<li>Agents: treat empty-stream provider failures (<code>request ended without sending any chunks</code>) as timeout-class failover signals, enabling auth-profile rotation/fallback and showing a friendly timeout message instead of raw provider errors. (#10210) Thanks @zenchantlive.</li>
+<li>Agents: treat <code>read</code> tool <code>file_path</code> arguments as valid in tool-start diagnostics to avoid false “read tool called without path” warnings when alias parameters are used. (#16717) Thanks @Stache73.</li>
+<li>Ollama/Agents: avoid forcing <code><final></code> tag enforcement for Ollama models, which could suppress all output as <code>(no output)</code>. (#16191) Thanks @Glucksberg.</li>
+<li>Plugins: suppress false duplicate plugin id warnings when the same extension is discovered via multiple paths (config/workspace/global vs bundled), while still warning on genuine duplicates. (#16222) Thanks @shadril238.</li>
+<li>Skills: watch <code>SKILL.md</code> only when refreshing skills snapshot to avoid file-descriptor exhaustion in large data trees. (#11325) Thanks @household-bard.</li>
+<li>Memory/QMD: make <code>memory status</code> read-only by skipping QMD boot update/embed side effects for status-only manager checks.</li>
+<li>Memory/QMD: keep original QMD failures when builtin fallback initialization fails (for example missing embedding API keys), instead of replacing them with fallback init errors.</li>
+<li>Memory/Builtin: keep <code>memory status</code> dirty reporting stable across invocations by deriving status-only manager dirty state from persisted index metadata instead of process-start defaults. (#10863) Thanks @BarryYangi.</li>
+<li>Memory/QMD: cap QMD command output buffering to prevent memory exhaustion from pathological <code>qmd</code> command output.</li>
+<li>Memory/QMD: parse qmd scope keys once per request to avoid repeated parsing in scope checks.</li>
+<li>Memory/QMD: query QMD index using exact docid matches before falling back to prefix lookup for better recall correctness and index efficiency.</li>
+<li>Memory/QMD: pass result limits to <code>search</code>/<code>vsearch</code> commands so QMD can cap results earlier.</li>
+<li>Memory/QMD: avoid reading full markdown files when a <code>from/lines</code> window is requested in QMD reads.</li>
+<li>Memory/QMD: skip rewriting unchanged session export markdown files during sync to reduce disk churn.</li>
+<li>Memory/QMD: make QMD result JSON parsing resilient to noisy command output by extracting the first JSON array from noisy <code>stdout</code>.</li>
+<li>Memory/QMD: treat prefixed <code>no results found</code> marker output as an empty result set in qmd JSON parsing. (#11302) Thanks @blazerui.</li>
+<li>Memory/QMD: avoid multi-collection <code>query</code> ranking corruption by running one <code>qmd query -c <collection></code> per managed collection and merging by best score (also used for <code>search</code>/<code>vsearch</code> fallback-to-query). (#16740) Thanks @volarian-vai.</li>
+<li>Memory/QMD: detect null-byte <code>ENOTDIR</code> update failures, rebuild managed collections once, and retry update to self-heal corrupted collection metadata. (#12919) Thanks @jorgejhms.</li>
+<li>Memory/QMD/Security: add <code>rawKeyPrefix</code> support for QMD scope rules and preserve legacy <code>keyPrefix: "agent:..."</code> matching, preventing scoped deny bypass when operators match agent-prefixed session keys.</li>
+<li>Memory/Builtin: narrow memory watcher targets to markdown globs and ignore dependency/venv directories to reduce file-descriptor pressure during memory sync startup. (#11721) Thanks @rex05ai.</li>
+<li>Security/Memory-LanceDB: treat recalled memories as untrusted context (escape injected memory text + explicit non-instruction framing), skip likely prompt-injection payloads during auto-capture, and restrict auto-capture to user messages to reduce memory-poisoning risk. (#12524) Thanks @davidschmid24.</li>
+<li>Security/Memory-LanceDB: require explicit <code>autoCapture: true</code> opt-in (default is now disabled) to prevent automatic PII capture unless operators intentionally enable it. (#12552) Thanks @fr33d3m0n.</li>
+<li>Diagnostics/Memory: prune stale diagnostic session state entries and cap tracked session states to prevent unbounded in-memory growth on long-running gateways. (#5136) Thanks @coygeek and @vignesh07.</li>
+<li>Gateway/Memory: clean up <code>agentRunSeq</code> tracking on run completion/abort and enforce maintenance-time cap pruning to prevent unbounded sequence-map growth over long uptimes. (#6036) Thanks @coygeek and @vignesh07.</li>
+<li>Auto-reply/Memory: bound <code>ABORT_MEMORY</code> growth by evicting oldest entries and deleting reset (<code>false</code>) flags so abort state tracking cannot grow unbounded over long uptimes. (#6629) Thanks @coygeek and @vignesh07.</li>
+<li>Slack/Memory: bound thread-starter cache growth with TTL + max-size pruning to prevent long-running Slack gateways from accumulating unbounded thread cache state. (#5258) Thanks @coygeek and @vignesh07.</li>
+<li>Outbound/Memory: bound directory cache growth with max-size eviction and proactive TTL pruning to prevent long-running gateways from accumulating unbounded directory entries. (#5140) Thanks @coygeek and @vignesh07.</li>
+<li>Skills/Memory: remove disconnected nodes from remote-skills cache to prevent stale node metadata from accumulating over long uptimes. (#6760) Thanks @coygeek.</li>
+<li>Sandbox/Tools: make sandbox file tools bind-mount aware (including absolute container paths) and enforce read-only bind semantics for writes. (#16379) Thanks @tasaankaeris.</li>
+<li>Media/Security: allow local media reads from OpenClaw state <code>workspace/</code> and <code>sandboxes/</code> roots by default so generated workspace media can be delivered without unsafe global path bypasses. (#15541) Thanks @lanceji.</li>
+<li>Media/Security: harden local media allowlist bypasses by requiring an explicit <code>readFile</code> override when callers mark paths as validated, and reject filesystem-root <code>localRoots</code> entries. (#16739)</li>
+<li>Discord/Security: harden voice message media loading (SSRF + allowed-local-root checks) so tool-supplied paths/URLs cannot be used to probe internal URLs or read arbitrary local files.</li>
+<li>Security/BlueBubbles: require explicit <code>mediaLocalRoots</code> allowlists for local outbound media path reads to prevent local file disclosure. (#16322) Thanks @mbelinky.</li>
+<li>Security/BlueBubbles: reject ambiguous shared-path webhook routing when multiple webhook targets match the same guid/password.</li>
+<li>Security/BlueBubbles: harden BlueBubbles webhook auth behind reverse proxies by only accepting passwordless webhooks for direct localhost loopback requests (forwarded/proxied requests now require a password). Thanks @simecek.</li>
+<li>Feishu/Security: harden media URL fetching against SSRF and local file disclosure. (#16285) Thanks @mbelinky.</li>
+<li>Security/Zalo: reject ambiguous shared-path webhook routing when multiple webhook targets match the same secret.</li>
+<li>Security/Nostr: require loopback source and block cross-origin profile mutation/import attempts. Thanks @vincentkoc.</li>
+<li>Security/Signal: harden signal-cli archive extraction during install to prevent path traversal outside the install root.</li>
+<li>Security/Hooks: restrict hook transform modules to <code>~/.openclaw/hooks/transforms</code> (prevents path traversal/escape module loads via config). Config note: <code>hooks.transformsDir</code> must now be within that directory. Thanks @akhmittra.</li>
+<li>Security/Hooks: ignore hook package manifest entries that point outside the package directory (prevents out-of-tree handler loads during hook discovery).</li>
+<li>Security/Archive: enforce archive extraction entry/size limits to prevent resource exhaustion from high-expansion ZIP/TAR archives. Thanks @vincentkoc.</li>
+<li>Security/Media: reject oversized base64-backed input media before decoding to avoid large allocations. Thanks @vincentkoc.</li>
+<li>Security/Media: stream and bound URL-backed input media fetches to prevent memory exhaustion from oversized responses. Thanks @vincentkoc.</li>
+<li>Security/Skills: harden archive extraction for download-installed skills to prevent path traversal outside the target directory. Thanks @markmusson.</li>
+<li>Security/Slack: compute command authorization for DM slash commands even when <code>dmPolicy=open</code>, preventing unauthorized users from running privileged commands via DM. Thanks @christos-eth.</li>
+<li>Security/iMessage: keep DM pairing-store identities out of group allowlist authorization (prevents cross-context command authorization). Thanks @vincentkoc.</li>
+<li>Security/Google Chat: deprecate <code>users/<email></code> allowlists (treat <code>users/...</code> as immutable user id only); keep raw email allowlists for usability. Thanks @vincentkoc.</li>
+<li>Security/Google Chat: reject ambiguous shared-path webhook routing when multiple webhook targets verify successfully (prevents cross-account policy-context misrouting). Thanks @vincentkoc.</li>
+<li>Telegram/Security: require numeric Telegram sender IDs for allowlist authorization (reject <code>@username</code> principals), auto-resolve <code>@username</code> to IDs in <code>openclaw doctor --fix</code> (when possible), and warn in <code>openclaw security audit</code> when legacy configs contain usernames. Thanks @vincentkoc.</li>
+<li>Telegram/Security: reject Telegram webhook startup when <code>webhookSecret</code> is missing or empty (prevents unauthenticated webhook request forgery). Thanks @yueyueL.</li>
+<li>Security/Windows: avoid shell invocation when spawning child processes to prevent cmd.exe metacharacter injection via untrusted CLI arguments (e.g. agent prompt text).</li>
+<li>Telegram: set webhook callback timeout handling to <code>onTimeout: "return"</code> (10s) so long-running update processing no longer emits webhook 500s and retry storms. (#16763) Thanks @chansearrington.</li>
+<li>Signal: preserve case-sensitive <code>group:</code> target IDs during normalization so mixed-case group IDs no longer fail with <code>Group not found</code>. (#16748) Thanks @repfigit.</li>
+<li>Feishu/Security: harden media URL fetching against SSRF and local file disclosure. (#16285) Thanks @mbelinky.</li>
+<li>Security/Agents: scope CLI process cleanup to owned child PIDs to avoid killing unrelated processes on shared hosts. Thanks @aether-ai-agent.</li>
+<li>Security/Agents: enforce workspace-root path bounds for <code>apply_patch</code> in non-sandbox mode to block traversal and symlink escape writes. Thanks @p80n-sec.</li>
+<li>Security/Agents: enforce symlink-escape checks for <code>apply_patch</code> delete hunks under <code>workspaceOnly</code>, while still allowing deleting the symlink itself. Thanks @p80n-sec.</li>
+<li>Security/Agents (macOS): prevent shell injection when writing Claude CLI keychain credentials. (#15924) Thanks @aether-ai-agent.</li>
+<li>macOS: hard-limit unkeyed <code>openclaw://agent</code> deep links and ignore <code>deliver</code> / <code>to</code> / <code>channel</code> unless a valid unattended key is provided. Thanks @Cillian-Collins.</li>
+<li>Scripts/Security: validate GitHub logins and avoid shell invocation in <code>scripts/update-clawtributors.ts</code> to prevent command injection via malicious commit records. Thanks @scanleale.</li>
+<li>Security: fix Chutes manual OAuth login state validation by requiring the full redirect URL (reject code-only pastes) (thanks @aether-ai-agent).</li>
+<li>Security/Gateway: harden tool-supplied <code>gatewayUrl</code> overrides by restricting them to loopback or the configured <code>gateway.remote.url</code>. Thanks @p80n-sec.</li>
+<li>Security/Gateway: block <code>system.execApprovals.*</code> via <code>node.invoke</code> (use <code>exec.approvals.node.*</code> instead). Thanks @christos-eth.</li>
+<li>Security/Gateway: reject oversized base64 chat attachments before decoding to avoid large allocations. Thanks @vincentkoc.</li>
+<li>Security/Gateway: stop returning raw resolved config values in <code>skills.status</code> requirement checks (prevents operator.read clients from reading secrets). Thanks @simecek.</li>
+<li>Security/Net: fix SSRF guard bypass via full-form IPv4-mapped IPv6 literals (blocks loopback/private/metadata access). Thanks @yueyueL.</li>
+<li>Security/Browser: harden browser control file upload + download helpers to prevent path traversal / local file disclosure. Thanks @1seal.</li>
+<li>Security/Browser: block cross-origin mutating requests to loopback browser control routes (CSRF hardening). Thanks @vincentkoc.</li>
+<li>Security/Node Host: enforce <code>system.run</code> rawCommand/argv consistency to prevent allowlist/approval bypass. Thanks @christos-eth.</li>

+<li>Security/Exec: harden PATH handling by disabling project-local <code>node_modules/.bin</code> bootstrapping by default, disallowing node-host <code>PATH</code> overrides, and spawning ACP servers via the current executable by default. Thanks @akhmittra.</li>
+<li>Security/Tlon: harden Urbit URL fetching against SSRF by blocking private/internal hosts by default (opt-in: <code>channels.tlon.allowPrivateNetwork</code>). Thanks @p80n-sec.</li>
+<li>Security/Voice Call (Telnyx): require webhook signature verification when receiving inbound events; configs without <code>telnyx.publicKey</code> are now rejected unless <code>skipSignatureVerification</code> is enabled. Thanks @p80n-sec.</li>
+<li>Security/Voice Call: require valid Twilio webhook signatures even when ngrok free tier loopback compatibility mode is enabled. Thanks @p80n-sec.</li>
+<li>Security/Discovery: stop treating Bonjour TXT records as authoritative routing (prefer resolved service endpoints) and prevent discovery from overriding stored TLS pins; autoconnect now requires a previously trusted gateway. Thanks @simecek.</li>

+<li>Auto-reply/Threading: auto-inject implicit reply threading so <code>replyToMode</code> works without requiring model-emitted <code>[[reply_to_current]]</code>, while preserving <code>replyToMode: "off"</code> behavior for implicit Slack replies and keeping block-streaming chunk coalescing stable under <code>replyToMode: "first"</code>. (#14976) Thanks @Diaspar4u.</li>
+<li>Outbound/Threading: pass <code>replyTo</code> and <code>threadId</code> from <code>message send</code> tool actions through the core outbound send path to channel adapters, preserving thread/reply routing. (#14948) Thanks @mcaxtr.</li>
+<li>Auto-reply/Media: allow image-only inbound messages (no caption) to reach the agent instead of short-circuiting as empty text, and preserve thread context in queued/followup prompt bodies for media-only runs. (#11916) Thanks @arosstale.</li>
+<li>Discord: route autoThread replies to existing threads instead of the root channel. (#8302) Thanks @gavinbmoore, @thewilloftheshadow.</li>
+<li>Web UI: add <code>img</code> to DOMPurify allowed tags and <code>src</code>/<code>alt</code> to allowed attributes so markdown images render in webchat instead of being stripped. (#15437) Thanks @lailoo.</li>
+<li>Telegram/Matrix: treat MP3 and M4A (including <code>audio/mp4</code>) as voice-compatible for <code>asVoice</code> routing, and keep WAV/AAC falling back to regular audio sends. (#15438) Thanks @azade-c.</li>
+<li>WhatsApp: preserve outbound document filenames for web-session document sends instead of always sending <code>"file"</code>. (#15594) Thanks @TsekaLuk.</li>
+<li>Telegram: cap bot menu registration to Telegram's 100-command limit with an overflow warning while keeping typed hidden commands available. (#15844) Thanks @battman21.</li>
+<li>Telegram: scope skill commands to the resolved agent for default accounts so <code>setMyCommands</code> no longer triggers <code>BOT_COMMANDS_TOO_MUCH</code> when multiple agents are configured. (#15599)</li>
+<li>Discord: avoid misrouting numeric guild allowlist entries to <code>/channels/<guildId></code> by prefixing guild-only inputs with <code>guild:</code> during resolution. (#12326) Thanks @headswim.</li>
+<li>MS Teams: preserve parsed mention entities/text when appending OneDrive fallback file links, and accept broader real-world Teams mention ID formats (<code>29:...</code>, <code>8:orgid:...</code>) while still rejecting placeholder patterns. (#15436) Thanks @hyojin.</li>
+<li>Media: classify <code>text/*</code> MIME types as documents in media-kind routing so text attachments are no longer treated as unknown. (#12237) Thanks @arosstale.</li>
+<li>Inbound/Web UI: preserve literal <code>\n</code> sequences when normalizing inbound text so Windows paths like <code>C:\\Work\\nxxx\\README.md</code> are not corrupted. (#11547) Thanks @mcaxtr.</li>
+<li>TUI/Streaming: preserve richer streamed assistant text when final payload drops pre-tool-call text blocks, while keeping non-empty final payload authoritative for plain-text updates. (#15452) Thanks @TsekaLuk.</li>
+<li>Providers/MiniMax: switch implicit MiniMax API-key provider from <code>openai-completions</code> to <code>anthropic-messages</code> with the correct Anthropic-compatible base URL, fixing <code>invalid role: developer (2013)</code> errors on MiniMax M2.5. (#15275) Thanks @lailoo.</li>
+<li>Ollama/Agents: use resolved model/provider base URLs for native <code>/api/chat</code> streaming (including aliased providers), normalize <code>/v1</code> endpoints, and forward abort + <code>maxTokens</code> stream options for reliable cancellation and token caps. (#11853) Thanks @BrokenFinger98.</li>
+<li>OpenAI Codex/Spark: implement end-to-end <code>gpt-5.3-codex-spark</code> support across fallback/thinking/model resolution and <code>models list</code> forward-compat visibility. (#14990, #15174) Thanks @L-U-C-K-Y, @loiie45e.</li>
+<li>Agents/Codex: allow <code>gpt-5.3-codex-spark</code> in forward-compat fallback, live model filtering, and thinking presets, and fix model-picker recognition for spark. (#14990) Thanks @L-U-C-K-Y.</li>
+<li>Models/Codex: resolve configured <code>openai-codex/gpt-5.3-codex-spark</code> through forward-compat fallback during <code>models list</code>, so it is not incorrectly tagged as missing when runtime resolution succeeds. (#15174) Thanks @loiie45e.</li>
+<li>OpenAI Codex/Auth: bridge OpenClaw OAuth profiles into <code>pi</code> <code>auth.json</code> so model discovery and models-list registry resolution can use Codex OAuth credentials. (#15184) Thanks @loiie45e.</li>
+<li>Auth/OpenAI Codex: share OAuth login handling across onboarding and <code>models auth login --provider openai-codex</code>, keep onboarding alive when OAuth fails, and surface a direct OAuth help note instead of terminating the wizard. (#15406, follow-up to #14552) Thanks @zhiluo20.</li>
+<li>Onboarding/Providers: add vLLM as an onboarding provider with model discovery, auth profile wiring, and non-interactive auth-choice validation. (#12577) Thanks @gejifeng.</li>
+<li>Onboarding/Providers: preserve Hugging Face auth intent in auth-choice remapping (<code>tokenProvider=huggingface</code> with <code>authChoice=apiKey</code>) and skip env-override prompts when an explicit token is provided. (#13472) Thanks @Josephrp.</li>
+<li>Onboarding/CLI: restore terminal state without resuming paused <code>stdin</code>, so onboarding exits cleanly after choosing Web UI and the installer returns instead of appearing stuck.</li>
+<li>Signal/Install: auto-install <code>signal-cli</code> via Homebrew on non-x64 Linux architectures, avoiding x86_64 native binary <code>Exec format error</code> failures on arm64/arm hosts. (#15443) Thanks @jogvan-k.</li>
+<li>macOS Voice Wake: fix a crash in trigger trimming for CJK/Unicode transcripts by matching and slicing on original-string ranges instead of transformed-string indices. (#11052) Thanks @Flash-LHR.</li>
+<li>Mattermost (plugin): retry websocket monitor connections with exponential backoff and abort-aware teardown so transient connect failures no longer permanently stop monitoring. (#14962) Thanks @mcaxtr.</li>
+<li>Discord/Agents: apply channel/group <code>historyLimit</code> during embedded-runner history compaction to prevent long-running channel sessions from bypassing truncation and overflowing context windows. (#11224) Thanks @shadril238.</li>
+<li>Outbound targets: fail closed for WhatsApp/Twitch/Google Chat fallback paths so invalid or missing targets are dropped instead of rerouted, and align resolver hints with strict target requirements. (#13578) Thanks @mcaxtr.</li>
+<li>Gateway/Restart: clear stale command-queue and heartbeat wake runtime state after SIGUSR1 in-process restarts to prevent zombie gateway behavior where queued work stops draining. (#15195) Thanks @joeykrug.</li>
+<li>Heartbeat: prevent scheduler silent-death races during runner reloads, preserve retry cooldown backoff under wake bursts, and prioritize user/action wake causes over interval/retry reasons when coalescing. (#15108) Thanks @joeykrug.</li>
+<li>Heartbeat: allow explicit wake (<code>wake</code>) and hook wake (<code>hook:*</code>) reasons to run even when <code>HEARTBEAT.md</code> is effectively empty so queued system events are processed. (#14527) Thanks @arosstale.</li>
+<li>Auto-reply/Heartbeat: strip sentence-ending <code>HEARTBEAT_OK</code> tokens even when followed by up to 4 punctuation characters, while preserving surrounding sentence punctuation. (#15847) Thanks @Spacefish.</li>
+<li>Agents/Heartbeat: stop auto-creating <code>HEARTBEAT.md</code> during workspace bootstrap so missing files continue to run heartbeat as documented. (#11766) Thanks @shadril238.</li>
+<li>Sessions/Agents: pass <code>agentId</code> when resolving existing transcript paths in reply runs so non-default agents and heartbeat/chat handlers no longer fail with <code>Session file path must be within sessions directory</code>. (#15141) Thanks @Goldenmonstew.</li>
+<li>Sessions/Agents: pass <code>agentId</code> through status and usage transcript-resolution paths (auto-reply, gateway usage APIs, and session cost/log loaders) so non-default agents can resolve absolute session files without path-validation failures. (#15103) Thanks @jalehman.</li>
+<li>Sessions: archive previous transcript files on <code>/new</code> and <code>/reset</code> session resets (including gateway <code>sessions.reset</code>) so stale transcripts do not accumulate on disk. (#14869) Thanks @mcaxtr.</li>
+<li>Status/Sessions: stop clamping derived <code>totalTokens</code> to context-window size, keep prompt-token snapshots wired through session accounting, and surface context usage as unknown when fresh snapshot data is missing to avoid false 100% reports. (#15114) Thanks @echoVic.</li>
+<li>CLI/Completion: route plugin-load logs to stderr and write generated completion scripts directly to stdout to avoid <code>source <(openclaw completion ...)</code> corruption. (#15481) Thanks @arosstale.</li>
+<li>CLI: lazily load outbound provider dependencies and remove forced success-path exits so commands terminate naturally without killing intentional long-running foreground actions. (#12906) Thanks @DrCrinkle.</li>
+<li>Security/Gateway + ACP: block high-risk tools (<code>sessions_spawn</code>, <code>sessions_send</code>, <code>gateway</code>, <code>whatsapp_login</code>) from HTTP <code>/tools/invoke</code> by default with <code>gateway.tools.{allow,deny}</code> overrides, and harden ACP permission selection to fail closed when tool identity/options are ambiguous while supporting <code>allow_always</code>/<code>reject_always</code>. (#15390) Thanks @aether-ai-agent.</li>
+<li>Security/Gateway: breaking default-behavior change - canvas IP-based auth fallback now only accepts machine-scoped addresses (RFC1918, link-local, ULA IPv6, CGNAT); public-source IP matches now require bearer token auth. (#14661) Thanks @sumleo.</li>
+<li>Security/Link understanding: block loopback/internal host patterns and private/mapped IPv6 addresses in extracted URL handling to close SSRF bypasses in link CLI flows. (#15604) Thanks @AI-Reviewer-QS.</li>
+<li>Security/Browser: constrain <code>POST /trace/stop</code>, <code>POST /wait/download</code>, and <code>POST /download</code> output paths to OpenClaw temp roots and reject traversal/escape paths.</li>
+<li>Security/Canvas: serve A2UI assets via the shared safe-open path (<code>openFileWithinRoot</code>) to close traversal/TOCTOU gaps, with traversal and symlink regression coverage. (#10525) Thanks @abdelsfane.</li>
+<li>Security/WhatsApp: enforce <code>0o600</code> on <code>creds.json</code> and <code>creds.json.bak</code> on save/backup/restore paths to reduce credential file exposure. (#10529) Thanks @abdelsfane.</li>
+<li>Security/Gateway: sanitize and truncate untrusted WebSocket header values in pre-handshake close logs to reduce log-poisoning risk. Thanks @thewilloftheshadow.</li>
+<li>Security/Audit: add misconfiguration checks for sandbox Docker config with sandbox mode off, ineffective <code>gateway.nodes.denyCommands</code> entries, global minimal tool-profile overrides by agent profiles, and permissive extension-plugin tool reachability.</li>
+<li>Security/Audit: distinguish external webhooks (<code>hooks.enabled</code>) from internal hooks (<code>hooks.internal.enabled</code>) in attack-surface summaries to avoid false exposure signals when only internal hooks are enabled. (#13474) Thanks @mcaxtr.</li>
+<li>Security/Onboarding: clarify multi-user DM isolation remediation with explicit <code>openclaw config set session.dmScope ...</code> commands in security audit, doctor security, and channel onboarding guidance. (#13129) Thanks @VintLin.</li>
+<li>Agents/Nodes: harden node exec approval decision handling in the <code>nodes</code> tool run path by failing closed on unexpected approval decisions, and add regression coverage for approval-required retry/deny/timeout flows. (#4726) Thanks @rmorse.</li>
+<li>Android/Nodes: harden <code>app.update</code> by requiring HTTPS and gateway-host URL matching plus SHA-256 verification, stream URL camera downloads to disk with size guards to avoid memory spikes, and stop signing release builds with debug keys. (#13541) Thanks @smartprogrammer93.</li>
+<li>Routing: enforce strict binding-scope matching across peer/guild/team/roles so peer-scoped Discord/Slack bindings no longer match unrelated guild/team contexts or fallback tiers. (#15274) Thanks @lailoo.</li>
+<li>Exec/Allowlist: allow multiline heredoc bodies (<code><<</code>, <code><<-</code>) while keeping multiline non-heredoc shell commands blocked, so exec approval parsing permits heredoc input safely without allowing general newline command chaining. (#13811) Thanks @mcaxtr.</li>
+<li>Config: preserve <code>${VAR}</code> env references when writing config files so <code>openclaw config set/apply/patch</code> does not persist secrets to disk. Thanks @thewilloftheshadow.</li>
+<li>Config: remove a cross-request env-snapshot race in config writes by carrying read-time env context into write calls per request, preserving <code>${VAR}</code> refs safely under concurrent gateway config mutations. (#11560) Thanks @akoscz.</li>
+<li>Config: log overwrite audit entries (path, backup target, and hash transition) whenever an existing config file is replaced, improving traceability for unexpected config clobbers.</li>
+<li>Config: keep legacy audio transcription migration strict by rejecting non-string/unsafe command tokens while still migrating valid custom script executables. (#5042) Thanks @shayan919293.</li>
+<li>Config: accept <code>$schema</code> key in config file so JSON Schema editor tooling works without validation errors. (#14998)</li>
+<li>Gateway/Tools Invoke: sanitize <code>/tools/invoke</code> execution failures while preserving <code>400</code> for tool input errors and returning <code>500</code> for unexpected runtime failures, with regression coverage and docs updates. (#13185) Thanks @davidrudduck.</li>
+<li>Gateway/Hooks: preserve <code>408</code> for hook request-body timeout responses while keeping bounded auth-failure cache eviction behavior, with timeout-status regression coverage. (#15848) Thanks @AI-Reviewer-QS.</li>
+<li>Plugins/Hooks: fire <code>before_tool_call</code> hook exactly once per tool invocation in embedded runs by removing duplicate dispatch paths while preserving parameter mutation semantics. (#15635) Thanks @lailoo.</li>
+<li>Agents/Transcript policy: sanitize OpenAI/Codex tool-call ids during transcript policy normalization to prevent invalid tool-call identifiers from propagating into session history. (#15279) Thanks @divisonofficer.</li>
+<li>Agents/Image tool: cap image-analysis completion <code>maxTokens</code> by model capability (<code>min(4096, model.maxTokens)</code>) to avoid over-limit provider failures while still preventing truncation. (#11770) Thanks @detecti1.</li>
+<li>Agents/Compaction: centralize exec default resolution in the shared tool factory so per-agent <code>tools.exec</code> overrides (host/security/ask/node and related defaults) persist across compaction retries. (#15833) Thanks @napetrov.</li>
+<li>Gateway/Agents: stop injecting a phantom <code>main</code> agent into gateway agent listings when <code>agents.list</code> explicitly excludes it. (#11450) Thanks @arosstale.</li>
+<li>Process/Exec: avoid shell execution for <code>.exe</code> commands on Windows so env overrides work reliably in <code>runCommandWithTimeout</code>. Thanks @thewilloftheshadow.</li>
+<li>Daemon/Windows: preserve literal backslashes in <code>gateway.cmd</code> command parsing so drive and UNC paths are not corrupted in runtime checks and doctor entrypoint comparisons. (#15642) Thanks @arosstale.</li>
+<li>Sandbox: pass configured <code>sandbox.docker.env</code> variables to sandbox containers at <code>docker create</code> time. (#15138) Thanks @stevebot-alive.</li>
+<li>Voice Call: route webhook runtime event handling through shared manager event logic so rejected inbound hangups are idempotent in production, with regression tests for duplicate reject events and provider-call-ID remapping parity. (#15892) Thanks @dcantu96.</li>
+<li>Cron: add regression coverage for announce-mode isolated jobs so runs that already report <code>delivered: true</code> do not enqueue duplicate main-session relays, including delivery configs where <code>mode</code> is omitted and defaults to announce. (#15737) Thanks @brandonwise.</li>
+<li>Cron: honor <code>deleteAfterRun</code> in isolated announce delivery by mapping it to subagent announce cleanup mode, so cron run sessions configured for deletion are removed after completion. (#15368) Thanks @arosstale.</li>
+<li>Web tools/web_fetch: prefer <code>text/markdown</code> responses for Cloudflare Markdown for Agents, add <code>cf-markdown</code> extraction for markdown bodies, and redact fetched URLs in <code>x-markdown-tokens</code> debug logs to avoid leaking raw paths/query params. (#15376) Thanks @Yaxuan42.</li>
+<li>Clawdock: avoid Zsh readonly variable collisions in helper scripts. (#15501) Thanks @nkelner.</li>
+<li>Memory: switch default local embedding model to the QAT <code>embeddinggemma-300m-qat-Q8_0</code> variant for better quality at the same footprint. (#15429) Thanks @azade-c.</li>
+<li>Docs/Mermaid: remove hardcoded Mermaid init theme blocks from four docs diagrams so dark mode inherits readable theme defaults. (#15157) Thanks @heytulsiprasad.</li>

-<li>Security: enforce Twitch <code>allowFrom</code> allowlist gating (deny non-allowlisted senders). Thanks @MegaManSec.</li>
+<li>Gateway/OpenResponses: harden URL-based <code>input_file</code>/<code>input_image</code> handling with explicit SSRF deny policy, hostname allowlists (<code>files.urlAllowlist</code> / <code>images.urlAllowlist</code>), per-request URL input caps (<code>maxUrlParts</code>), blocked-fetch audit logging, and regression coverage/docs updates.</li>
+<li>Security: fix unauthenticated Nostr profile API remote config tampering. (#13719) Thanks @coygeek.</li>

+<li>Gateway: auto-generate auth token during install to prevent launchd restart loops. (#13813) Thanks @cathrynlavery.</li>
+<li>Gateway: prevent <code>undefined</code>/missing token in auth config. (#13809) Thanks @asklee-klawd.</li>

+<li>Cron: honor stored session model overrides for isolated-agent runs while preserving <code>hooks.gmail.model</code> precedence for Gmail hook sessions. (#14983) Thanks @shtse8.</li>
+<li>Logging/Browser: fall back to <code>os.tmpdir()/openclaw</code> for default log, browser trace, and browser download temp paths when <code>/tmp/openclaw</code> is unavailable.</li>
+<li>WhatsApp: convert Markdown bold/strikethrough to WhatsApp formatting. (#14285) Thanks @Raikan10.</li>
+<li>WhatsApp: allow media-only sends and normalize leading blank payloads. (#14408) Thanks @karimnaguib.</li>
+<li>WhatsApp: default MIME type for voice messages when Baileys omits it. (#14444) Thanks @mcaxtr.</li>
+<li>Telegram: handle no-text message in model picker editMessageText. (#14397) Thanks @0xRaini.</li>

+<li>Signal: render mention placeholders as <code>@uuid</code>/<code>@phone</code> so mention gating and Clawdbot targeting work. (#2013) Thanks @alexgleason.</li>
+<li>Discord: omit empty content fields for media-only messages while preserving caption whitespace. (#9507) Thanks @leszekszpunar.</li>
+<li>Onboarding/Providers: add Z.AI endpoint-specific auth choices (<code>zai-coding-global</code>, <code>zai-coding-cn</code>, <code>zai-global</code>, <code>zai-cn</code>) and expand default Z.AI model wiring. (#13456) Thanks @tomsun28.</li>
+<li>Onboarding/Providers: update MiniMax API default/recommended models from M2.1 to M2.5, add M2.5/M2.5-Lightning model entries, and include <code>minimax-m2.5</code> in modern model filtering. (#14865) Thanks @adao-max.</li>

+<li>Feishu: pass <code>Buffer</code> directly to the Feishu SDK upload APIs instead of <code>Readable.from(...)</code> to avoid form-data upload failures. (#10345) Thanks @youngerstyle.</li>
+<li>Feishu: trigger mention-gated group handling only when the bot itself is mentioned (not just any mention). (#11088) Thanks @openperf.</li>

+<li>CLI/Wizard: exit with code 1 when <code>configure</code>, <code>agents add</code>, or interactive <code>onboard</code> wizards are canceled, so <code>set -e</code> automation stops correctly. (#14156) Thanks @0xRaini.</li>
+<li>Media: strip <code>MEDIA:</code> lines with local paths instead of leaking as visible text. (#14399) Thanks @0xRaini.</li>

 # OpenClaw (iOS)
 
-Internal-only SwiftUI app scaffold.
+This is an **alpha** iOS app that connects to an OpenClaw Gateway as a `role: node`.
+
+Expect rough edges:
+
+- UI and onboarding are changing quickly.
+- Background behavior is not stable yet (foreground app is the supported mode right now).
+- Permissions are opt-in and the app should be treated as sensitive while we harden it.
+
+## What It Does
+
+- Connects to a Gateway over `ws://` / `wss://`
+- Pairs a new device (approved from your bot)
+- Exposes phone services as node commands (camera, location, photos, calendar, reminders, etc; gated by iOS permissions)
+- Provides Talk + Chat surfaces (alpha)
+
+## Pairing (Recommended Flow)
+
+If your Gateway has the `device-pair` plugin installed:
+
+1. In Telegram, message your bot: `/pair`
+2. Copy the **setup code** message
+3. On iOS: OpenClaw → Settings → Gateway → paste setup code → Connect
+4. Back in Telegram: `/pair approve`
+
+## Build And Run
+
+Prereqs:
+
+- Xcode (current stable)
+- `pnpm`
+- `xcodegen`
+
+From the repo root:
 
-## Lint/format (required)
 ```bash
-brew install swiftformat swiftlint
+pnpm install
+pnpm ios:open
 ```
 
-## Generate the Xcode project
+Then in Xcode:
+
+1. Select the `OpenClaw` scheme
+2. Select a simulator or a connected device
+3. Run
+
+If you're using a personal Apple Development team, you may need to change the bundle identifier in Xcode to a unique value so signing succeeds.
+
+## Build From CLI
+
 ```bash
-cd apps/ios
-xcodegen generate
-open OpenClaw.xcodeproj
+pnpm ios:build
 ```
 
-## Shared packages
-- `../shared/OpenClawKit` — shared types/constants used by iOS (and later macOS bridge + gateway routing).
+## Tests
 
-## fastlane
 ```bash
-brew install fastlane
-
 cd apps/ios
-fastlane lanes
+xcodegen generate
+xcodebuild test -project OpenClaw.xcodeproj -scheme OpenClaw -destination "platform=iOS Simulator,name=iPhone 17"
 ```
 
-See `apps/ios/fastlane/SETUP.md` for App Store Connect auth + upload lanes.

+title: "Hooks"

+
+# Hooks
+
+Hooks provide an extensible event-driven system for automating actions in response to agent commands and events. Hooks are automatically discovered from directories and can be managed via CLI commands, similar to how skills work in OpenClaw.
+
+## Getting Oriented
+
+Hooks are small scripts that run when something happens. There are two kinds:
+
+- **Hooks** (this page): run inside the Gateway when agent events fire, like `/new`, `/reset`, `/stop`, or lifecycle events.
+- **Webhooks**: external HTTP webhooks that let other systems trigger work in OpenClaw. See [Webhook Hooks](/automation/webhook) or use `openclaw webhooks` for Gmail helper commands.
+
+Hooks can also be bundled inside plugins; see [Plugins](/tools/plugin#plugin-hooks).
+
+Common uses:
+
+- Save a memory snapshot when you reset a session
+- Keep an audit trail of commands for troubleshooting or compliance
+- Trigger follow-up automation when a session starts or ends
+- Write files into the agent workspace or call external APIs when events fire
+
+If you can write a small TypeScript function, you can write a hook. Hooks are discovered automatically, and you enable or disable them via the CLI.
+
+## Overview
+
+The hooks system allows you to:
+
+- Save session context to memory when `/new` is issued
+- Log all commands for auditing
+- Trigger custom automations on agent lifecycle events
+- Extend OpenClaw's behavior without modifying core code
+
+## Getting Started
+
+### Bundled Hooks
+
+OpenClaw ships with four bundled hooks that are automatically discovered:
+
+- **💾 session-memory**: Saves session context to your agent workspace (default `~/.openclaw/workspace/memory/`) when you issue `/new`
+- **📎 bootstrap-extra-files**: Injects additional workspace bootstrap files from configured glob/path patterns during `agent:bootstrap`
+- **📝 command-logger**: Logs all command events to `~/.openclaw/logs/commands.log`
+- **🚀 boot-md**: Runs `BOOT.md` when the gateway starts (requires internal hooks enabled)
+
+List available hooks:
+
+```bash
+openclaw hooks list
+```
+
+Enable a hook:
+
+```bash
+openclaw hooks enable session-memory
+```
+
+Check hook status:
+
+```bash
+openclaw hooks check
+```
+
+Get detailed information:
+
+```bash
+openclaw hooks info session-memory
+```
+
+### Onboarding
+
+During onboarding (`openclaw onboard`), you'll be prompted to enable recommended hooks. The wizard automatically discovers eligible hooks and presents them for selection.
+
+## Hook Discovery
+
+Hooks are automatically discovered from three directories (in order of precedence):
+
+1. **Workspace hooks**: `<workspace>/hooks/` (per-agent, highest precedence)
+2. **Managed hooks**: `~/.openclaw/hooks/` (user-installed, shared across workspaces)
+3. **Bundled hooks**: `<openclaw>/dist/hooks/bundled/` (shipped with OpenClaw)
+
+Managed hook directories can be either a **single hook** or a **hook pack** (package directory).
+
+Each hook is a directory containing:
+
+```
+my-hook/
+├── HOOK.md          # Metadata + documentation
+└── handler.ts       # Handler implementation
+```
+
+## Hook Packs (npm/archives)
+
+Hook packs are standard npm packages that export one or more hooks via `openclaw.hooks` in
+`package.json`. Install them with:
+
+```bash
+openclaw hooks install <path-or-spec>
+```
+
+Npm specs are registry-only (package name + optional version/tag). Git/URL/file specs are rejected.
+
+Example `package.json`:
+
+```json
+{
+  "name": "@acme/my-hooks",
+  "version": "0.1.0",
+  "openclaw": {
+    "hooks": ["./hooks/my-hook", "./hooks/other-hook"]
+  }
+}
+```
+
+Each entry points to a hook directory containing `HOOK.md` and `handler.ts` (or `index.ts`).
+Hook packs can ship dependencies; they will be installed under `~/.openclaw/hooks/<id>`.
+
+Security note: `openclaw hooks install` installs dependencies with `npm install --ignore-scripts`
+(no lifecycle scripts). Keep hook pack dependency trees "pure JS/TS" and avoid packages that rely
+on `postinstall` builds.
+
+## Hook Structure
+
+### HOOK.md Format
+
+The `HOOK.md` file contains metadata in YAML frontmatter plus Markdown documentation:
+
+```markdown
+---
+name: my-hook
+description: "Short description of what this hook does"
+homepage: https://docs.openclaw.ai/automation/hooks#my-hook
+metadata:
+  { "openclaw": { "emoji": "🔗", "events": ["command:new"], "requires": { "bins": ["node"] } } }

+- Listens for `/new` commands
+- Performs some action
+- Logs the result
+
+## Requirements
+
+- Node.js must be installed
+
+## Configuration
+
+No configuration needed.
+```
+
+### Metadata Fields
+
+The `metadata.openclaw` object supports:
+
+- **`emoji`**: Display emoji for CLI (e.g., `"💾"`)
+- **`events`**: Array of events to listen for (e.g., `["command:new", "command:reset"]`)
+- **`export`**: Named export to use (defaults to `"default"`)
+- **`homepage`**: Documentation URL
+- **`requires`**: Optional requirements
+  - **`bins`**: Required binaries on PATH (e.g., `["git", "node"]`)
+  - **`anyBins`**: At least one of these binaries must be present
+  - **`env`**: Required environment variables
+  - **`config`**: Required config paths (e.g., `["workspace.dir"]`)
+  - **`os`**: Required platforms (e.g., `["darwin", "linux"]`)
+- **`always`**: Bypass eligibility checks (boolean)
+- **`install`**: Installation methods (for bundled hooks: `[{"id":"bundled","kind":"bundled"}]`)
+
+### Handler Implementation
+
+The `handler.ts` file exports a `HookHandler` function:
+
+```typescript
+import type { HookHandler } from "../../src/hooks/hooks.js";
+
+const myHandler: HookHandler = async (event) => {
+  // Only trigger on 'new' command
+  if (event.type !== "command" || event.action !== "new") {
+    return;
+  }
+
+  console.log(`[my-hook] New command triggered`);
+  console.log(`  Session: ${event.sessionKey}`);
+  console.log(`  Timestamp: ${event.timestamp.toISOString()}`);
+
+  // Your custom logic here
+
+  // Optionally send message to user
+  event.messages.push("✨ My hook executed!");
+};
+
+export default myHandler;
+```
+
+#### Event Context
+
+Each event includes:
+
+```typescript
+{
+  type: 'command' | 'session' | 'agent' | 'gateway',
+  action: string,              // e.g., 'new', 'reset', 'stop'
+  sessionKey: string,          // Session identifier
+  timestamp: Date,             // When the event occurred
+  messages: string[],          // Push messages here to send to user
+  context: {
+    sessionEntry?: SessionEntry,
+    sessionId?: string,
+    sessionFile?: string,
+    commandSource?: string,    // e.g., 'whatsapp', 'telegram'
+    senderId?: string,
+    workspaceDir?: string,
+    bootstrapFiles?: WorkspaceBootstrapFile[],
+    cfg?: OpenClawConfig
+  }
+}
+```
+
+## Event Types
+
+### Command Events
+
+Triggered when agent commands are issued:
+
+- **`command`**: All command events (general listener)
+- **`command:new`**: When `/new` command is issued
+- **`command:reset`**: When `/reset` command is issued
+- **`command:stop`**: When `/stop` command is issued
+
+### Agent Events
+
+- **`agent:bootstrap`**: Before workspace bootstrap files are injected (hooks may mutate `context.bootstrapFiles`)
+
+### Gateway Events
+
+Triggered when the gateway starts:
+
+- **`gateway:startup`**: After channels start and hooks are loaded
+
+### Tool Result Hooks (Plugin API)
+
+These hooks are not event-stream listeners; they let plugins synchronously adjust tool results before OpenClaw persists them.
+
+- **`tool_result_persist`**: transform tool results before they are written to the session transcript. Must be synchronous; return the updated tool result payload or `undefined` to keep it as-is. See [Agent Loop](/concepts/agent-loop).
+
+### Future Events
+
+Planned event types:
+
+- **`session:start`**: When a new session begins
+- **`session:end`**: When a session ends
+- **`agent:error`**: When an agent encounters an error
+- **`message:sent`**: When a message is sent
+- **`message:received`**: When a message is received
+
+## Creating Custom Hooks
+
+### 1. Choose Location
+
+- **Workspace hooks** (`<workspace>/hooks/`): Per-agent, highest precedence
+- **Managed hooks** (`~/.openclaw/hooks/`): Shared across workspaces
+
+### 2. Create Directory Structure
+
+```bash
+mkdir -p ~/.openclaw/hooks/my-hook
+cd ~/.openclaw/hooks/my-hook
+```
+
+### 3. Create HOOK.md
+
+```markdown
+---
+name: my-hook
+description: "Does something useful"
+metadata: { "openclaw": { "emoji": "🎯", "events": ["command:new"] } }
+---
+
+# My Custom Hook
+
+This hook does something useful when you issue `/new`.
+```
+
+### 4. Create handler.ts
+
+```typescript
+import type { HookHandler } from "../../src/hooks/hooks.js";
+
+const handler: HookHandler = async (event) => {
+  if (event.type !== "command" || event.action !== "new") {
+    return;
+  }
+
+  console.log("[my-hook] Running!");
+  // Your logic here
+};
+
+export default handler;
+```
+
+### 5. Enable and Test
+
+```bash
+# Verify hook is discovered
+openclaw hooks list
+
+# Enable it
+openclaw hooks enable my-hook
+
+# Restart your gateway process (menu bar app restart on macOS, or restart your dev process)
+
+# Trigger the event
+# Send /new via your messaging channel
+```
+
+## Configuration
+
+### New Config Format (Recommended)
+
+```json
+{
+  "hooks": {
+    "internal": {
+      "enabled": true,
+      "entries": {
+        "session-memory": { "enabled": true },
+        "command-logger": { "enabled": false }
+      }
+    }
+  }
+}
+```
+
+### Per-Hook Configuration
+
+Hooks can have custom configuration:
+
+```json
+{
+  "hooks": {
+    "internal": {
+      "enabled": true,
+      "entries": {
+        "my-hook": {
+          "enabled": true,
+          "env": {
+            "MY_CUSTOM_VAR": "value"
+          }
+        }
+      }
+    }
+  }
+}
+```
+
+### Extra Directories
+
+Load hooks from additional directories:
+
+```json
+{
+  "hooks": {
+    "internal": {
+      "enabled": true,
+      "load": {
+        "extraDirs": ["/path/to/more/hooks"]
+      }
+    }
+  }
+}
+```
+
+### Legacy Config Format (Still Supported)
+
+The old config format still works for backwards compatibility:
+
+```json
+{
+  "hooks": {
+    "internal": {
+      "enabled": true,
+      "handlers": [
+        {
+          "event": "command:new",
+          "module": "./hooks/handlers/my-handler.ts",
+          "export": "default"
+        }
+      ]
+    }
+  }
+}
+```
+
+Note: `module` must be a workspace-relative path. Absolute paths and traversal outside the workspace are rejected.
+
+**Migration**: Use the new discovery-based system for new hooks. Legacy handlers are loaded after directory-based hooks.
+
+## CLI Commands
+
+### List Hooks
+
+```bash
+# List all hooks
+openclaw hooks list
+
+# Show only eligible hooks
+openclaw hooks list --eligible
+
+# Verbose output (show missing requirements)
+openclaw hooks list --verbose
+
+# JSON output
+openclaw hooks list --json
+```
+
+### Hook Information
+
+```bash
+# Show detailed info about a hook
+openclaw hooks info session-memory
+
+# JSON output
+openclaw hooks info session-memory --json
+```
+
+### Check Eligibility
+
+```bash
+# Show eligibility summary
+openclaw hooks check
+
+# JSON output
+openclaw hooks check --json
+```
+
+### Enable/Disable
+
+```bash
+# Enable a hook
+openclaw hooks enable session-memory
+
+# Disable a hook
+openclaw hooks disable command-logger
+```
+
+## Bundled hook reference
+
+### session-memory
+
+Saves session context to memory when you issue `/new`.
+
+**Events**: `command:new`
+
+**Requirements**: `workspace.dir` must be configured
+
+**Output**: `<workspace>/memory/YYYY-MM-DD-slug.md` (defaults to `~/.openclaw/workspace`)
+
+**What it does**:
+
+1. Uses the pre-reset session entry to locate the correct transcript
+2. Extracts the last 15 lines of conversation
+3. Uses LLM to generate a descriptive filename slug
+4. Saves session metadata to a dated memory file
+
+**Example output**:
+
+```markdown
+# Session: 2026-01-16 14:30:00 UTC
+
+- **Session Key**: agent:main:main
+- **Session ID**: abc123def456
+- **Source**: telegram
+```
+
+**Filename examples**:
+
+- `2026-01-16-vendor-pitch.md`
+- `2026-01-16-api-design.md`
+- `2026-01-16-1430.md` (fallback timestamp if slug generation fails)
+
+**Enable**:
+
+```bash
+openclaw hooks enable session-memory
+```
+
+### bootstrap-extra-files
+
+Injects additional bootstrap files (for example monorepo-local `AGENTS.md` / `TOOLS.md`) during `agent:bootstrap`.
+
+**Events**: `agent:bootstrap`
+
+**Requirements**: `workspace.dir` must be configured
+
+**Output**: No files written; bootstrap context is modified in-memory only.
+
+**Config**:
+
+```json
+{
+  "hooks": {
+    "internal": {
+      "enabled": true,
+      "entries": {
+        "bootstrap-extra-files": {
+          "enabled": true,
+          "paths": ["packages/*/AGENTS.md", "packages/*/TOOLS.md"]
+        }
+      }
+    }
+  }
+}
+```
+
+**Notes**:
+
+- Paths are resolved relative to workspace.
+- Files must stay inside workspace (realpath-checked).
+- Only recognized bootstrap basenames are loaded.
+- Subagent allowlist is preserved (`AGENTS.md` and `TOOLS.md` only).
+
+**Enable**:
+
+```bash
+openclaw hooks enable bootstrap-extra-files
+```
+
+### command-logger
+
+Logs all command events to a centralized audit file.
+
+**Events**: `command`
+
+**Requirements**: None
+
+**Output**: `~/.openclaw/logs/commands.log`
+
+**What it does**:
+
+1. Captures event details (command action, timestamp, session key, sender ID, source)
+2. Appends to log file in JSONL format
+3. Runs silently in the background
+
+**Example log entries**:
+
+```jsonl
+{"timestamp":"2026-01-16T14:30:00.000Z","action":"new","sessionKey":"agent:main:main","senderId":"+1234567890","source":"telegram"}
+{"timestamp":"2026-01-16T15:45:22.000Z","action":"stop","sessionKey":"agent:main:main","senderId":"user@example.com","source":"whatsapp"}
+```
+
+**View logs**:
+
+```bash
+# View recent commands
+tail -n 20 ~/.openclaw/logs/commands.log
+
+# Pretty-print with jq
+cat ~/.openclaw/logs/commands.log | jq .
+
+# Filter by action
+grep '"action":"new"' ~/.openclaw/logs/commands.log | jq .
+```
+
+**Enable**:
+
+```bash
+openclaw hooks enable command-logger
+```
+
+### boot-md
+
+Runs `BOOT.md` when the gateway starts (after channels start).
+Internal hooks must be enabled for this to run.
+
+**Events**: `gateway:startup`
+
+**Requirements**: `workspace.dir` must be configured
+
+**What it does**:
+
+1. Reads `BOOT.md` from your workspace
+2. Runs the instructions via the agent runner
+3. Sends any requested outbound messages via the message tool
+
+**Enable**:
+
+```bash
+openclaw hooks enable boot-md
+```
+
+## Best Practices
+
+### Keep Handlers Fast
+
+Hooks run during command processing. Keep them lightweight:
+
+```typescript
+// ✓ Good - async work, returns immediately
+const handler: HookHandler = async (event) => {
+  void processInBackground(event); // Fire and forget
+};
+
+// ✗ Bad - blocks command processing
+const handler: HookHandler = async (event) => {
+  await slowDatabaseQuery(event);
+  await evenSlowerAPICall(event);
+};
+```
+
+### Handle Errors Gracefully
+
+Always wrap risky operations:
+
+```typescript
+const handler: HookHandler = async (event) => {
+  try {
+    await riskyOperation(event);
+  } catch (err) {
+    console.error("[my-handler] Failed:", err instanceof Error ? err.message : String(err));
+    // Don't throw - let other handlers run
+  }
+};
+```
+
+### Filter Events Early
+
+Return early if the event isn't relevant:
+
+```typescript
+const handler: HookHandler = async (event) => {
+  // Only handle 'new' commands
+  if (event.type !== "command" || event.action !== "new") {
+    return;
+  }
+
+  // Your logic here
+};
+```
+
+### Use Specific Event Keys
+
+Specify exact events in metadata when possible:
+
+```yaml
+metadata: { "openclaw": { "events": ["command:new"] } } # Specific
+```
+
+Rather than:
+
+```yaml
+metadata: { "openclaw": { "events": ["command"] } } # General - more overhead
+```
+
+## Debugging
+
+### Enable Hook Logging
+
+The gateway logs hook loading at startup:
+
+```
+Registered hook: session-memory -> command:new
+Registered hook: bootstrap-extra-files -> agent:bootstrap
+Registered hook: command-logger -> command
+Registered hook: boot-md -> gateway:startup
+```
+
+### Check Discovery
+
+List all discovered hooks:
+
+```bash
+openclaw hooks list --verbose
+```
+
+### Check Registration
+
+In your handler, log when it's called:
+
+```typescript
+const handler: HookHandler = async (event) => {
+  console.log("[my-handler] Triggered:", event.type, event.action);
+  // Your logic
+};
+```
+
+### Verify Eligibility
+
+Check why a hook isn't eligible:
+
+```bash
+openclaw hooks info my-hook
+```
+
+Look for missing requirements in the output.
+
+## Testing
+
+### Gateway Logs
+
+Monitor gateway logs to see hook execution:
+
+```bash
+# macOS
+./scripts/clawlog.sh -f
+
+# Other platforms
+tail -f ~/.openclaw/gateway.log
+```
+
+### Test Hooks Directly
+
+Test your handlers in isolation:
+
+```typescript
+import { test } from "vitest";
+import { createHookEvent } from "./src/hooks/hooks.js";
+import myHandler from "./hooks/my-hook/handler.js";
+
+test("my handler works", async () => {
+  const event = createHookEvent("command", "new", "test-session", {
+    foo: "bar",
+  });
+
+  await myHandler(event);
+
+  // Assert side effects
+});
+```
+
+## Architecture
+
+### Core Components
+
+- **`src/hooks/types.ts`**: Type definitions
+- **`src/hooks/workspace.ts`**: Directory scanning and loading
+- **`src/hooks/frontmatter.ts`**: HOOK.md metadata parsing
+- **`src/hooks/config.ts`**: Eligibility checking
+- **`src/hooks/hooks-status.ts`**: Status reporting
+- **`src/hooks/loader.ts`**: Dynamic module loader
+- **`src/cli/hooks-cli.ts`**: CLI commands
+- **`src/gateway/server-startup.ts`**: Loads hooks at gateway start
+- **`src/auto-reply/reply/commands-core.ts`**: Triggers command events
+
+### Discovery Flow
+
+```
+Gateway startup
+    ↓
+Scan directories (workspace → managed → bundled)
+    ↓
+Parse HOOK.md files
+    ↓
+Check eligibility (bins, env, config, os)
+    ↓
+Load handlers from eligible hooks
+    ↓
+Register handlers for events
+```
+
+### Event Flow
+
+```
+User sends /new
+    ↓
+Command validation
+    ↓
+Create hook event
+    ↓
+Trigger hook (all registered handlers)
+    ↓
+Command processing continues
+    ↓
+Session reset
+```
+
+## Troubleshooting
+
+### Hook Not Discovered
+
+1. Check directory structure:
+
+   ```bash
+   ls -la ~/.openclaw/hooks/my-hook/
+   # Should show: HOOK.md, handler.ts
+   ```
+
+2. Verify HOOK.md format:
+
+   ```bash
+   cat ~/.openclaw/hooks/my-hook/HOOK.md
+   # Should have YAML frontmatter with name and metadata
+   ```
+
+3. List all discovered hooks:
+
+   ```bash
+   openclaw hooks list
+   ```
+
+### Hook Not Eligible
+
+Check requirements:
+
+```bash
+openclaw hooks info my-hook
+```
+
+Look for missing:
+
+- Binaries (check PATH)
+- Environment variables
+- Config values
+- OS compatibility
+
+### Hook Not Executing
+
+1. Verify hook is enabled:
+
+   ```bash
+   openclaw hooks list
+   # Should show ✓ next to enabled hooks
+   ```
+
+2. Restart your gateway process so hooks reload.
+
+3. Check gateway logs for errors:
+
+   ```bash
+   ./scripts/clawlog.sh | grep hook
+   ```
+
+### Handler Errors
+
+Check for TypeScript/import errors:
+
+```bash
+# Test import directly
+node -e "import('./path/to/handler.ts').then(console.log)"
+```
+
+## Migration Guide
+
+### From Legacy Config to Discovery
+
+**Before**:
+
+```json
+{
+  "hooks": {
+    "internal": {
+      "enabled": true,
+      "handlers": [
+        {
+          "event": "command:new",
+          "module": "./hooks/handlers/my-handler.ts"
+        }
+      ]
+    }
+  }
+}
+```
+
+**After**:
+
+1. Create hook directory:
+
+   ```bash
+   mkdir -p ~/.openclaw/hooks/my-hook
+   mv ./hooks/handlers/my-handler.ts ~/.openclaw/hooks/my-hook/handler.ts
+   ```
+
+2. Create HOOK.md:
+
+   ```markdown
+   ---
+   name: my-hook
+   description: "My custom hook"
+   metadata: { "openclaw": { "emoji": "🎯", "events": ["command:new"] } }
+   ---
+
+   # My Hook
+
+   Does something useful.
+   ```
+
+3. Update config:
+
+   ```json
+   {
+     "hooks": {
+       "internal": {
+         "enabled": true,
+         "entries": {
+           "my-hook": { "enabled": true }
+         }
+       }
+     }
+   }
+   ```
+
+4. Verify and restart your gateway process:
+
+   ```bash
+   openclaw hooks list
+   # Should show: 🎯 my-hook ✓
+   ```
+
+**Benefits of migration**:
+
+- Automatic discovery
+- CLI management
+- Eligibility checking
+- Better documentation
+- Consistent structure

+read_when:
+  - Cron did not run
+  - Cron ran but no message was delivered
+  - Heartbeat seems silent or skipped
+title: "Automation Troubleshooting"
+---
+
+# Automation troubleshooting
+
+Use this page for scheduler and delivery issues (`cron` + `heartbeat`).
+
+## Command ladder
+
+```bash
+openclaw status
+openclaw gateway status
+openclaw logs --follow
+openclaw doctor
+openclaw channels status --probe
+```
+
+Then run automation checks:
+
+```bash
+openclaw cron status
+openclaw cron list
+openclaw system heartbeat last
+```
+
+## Cron not firing
+
+```bash
+openclaw cron status
+openclaw cron list
+openclaw cron runs --id <jobId> --limit 20
+openclaw logs --follow
+```
+
+Good output looks like:
+
+- `cron status` reports enabled and a future `nextWakeAtMs`.
+- Job is enabled and has a valid schedule/timezone.
+- `cron runs` shows `ok` or explicit skip reason.
+
+Common signatures:
+
+- `cron: scheduler disabled; jobs will not run automatically` → cron disabled in config/env.
+- `cron: timer tick failed` → scheduler tick crashed; inspect surrounding stack/log context.
+- `reason: not-due` in run output → manual run called without `--force` and job not due yet.
+
+## Cron fired but no delivery
+
+```bash
+openclaw cron runs --id <jobId> --limit 20
+openclaw cron list
+openclaw channels status --probe
+openclaw logs --follow
+```
+
+Good output looks like:
+
+- Run status is `ok`.
+- Delivery mode/target are set for isolated jobs.
+- Channel probe reports target channel connected.
+
+Common signatures:
+
+- Run succeeded but delivery mode is `none` → no external message is expected.
+- Delivery target missing/invalid (`channel`/`to`) → run may succeed internally but skip outbound.
+- Channel auth errors (`unauthorized`, `missing_scope`, `Forbidden`) → delivery blocked by channel credentials/permissions.
+
+## Heartbeat suppressed or skipped
+
+```bash
+openclaw system heartbeat last
+openclaw logs --follow
+openclaw config get agents.defaults.heartbeat
+openclaw channels status --probe
+```
+
+Good output looks like:
+
+- Heartbeat enabled with non-zero interval.
+- Last heartbeat result is `ran` (or skip reason is understood).
+
+Common signatures:
+
+- `heartbeat skipped` with `reason=quiet-hours` → outside `activeHours`.
+- `requests-in-flight` → main lane busy; heartbeat deferred.
+- `empty-heartbeat-file` → `HEARTBEAT.md` exists but has no actionable content.
+- `alerts-disabled` → visibility settings suppress outbound heartbeat messages.
+
+## Timezone and activeHours gotchas
+
+```bash
+openclaw config get agents.defaults.heartbeat.activeHours
+openclaw config get agents.defaults.heartbeat.activeHours.timezone
+openclaw config get agents.defaults.userTimezone || echo "agents.defaults.userTimezone not set"
+openclaw cron list
+openclaw logs --follow
+```
+
+Quick rules:
+
+- `Config path not found: agents.defaults.userTimezone` means the key is unset; heartbeat falls back to host timezone (or `activeHours.timezone` if set).
+- Cron without `--tz` uses gateway host timezone.
+- Heartbeat `activeHours` uses configured timezone resolution (`user`, `local`, or explicit IANA tz).
+- ISO timestamps without timezone are treated as UTC for cron `at` schedules.
+
+Common signatures:
+
+- Jobs run at the wrong wall-clock time after host timezone changes.
+- Heartbeat always skipped during your daytime because `activeHours.timezone` is wrong.

-summary: "Use Amazon Bedrock (Converse API) models with OpenClaw"
-read_when:
-  - You want to use Amazon Bedrock models with OpenClaw
-  - You need AWS credential/region setup for model calls
-title: "Amazon Bedrock"
----
-
-# Amazon Bedrock
-
-OpenClaw can use **Amazon Bedrock** models via pi‑ai’s **Bedrock Converse**
-streaming provider. Bedrock auth uses the **AWS SDK default credential chain**,
-not an API key.
-
-## What pi‑ai supports
-
-- Provider: `amazon-bedrock`
-- API: `bedrock-converse-stream`
-- Auth: AWS credentials (env vars, shared config, or instance role)
-- Region: `AWS_REGION` or `AWS_DEFAULT_REGION` (default: `us-east-1`)
-
-## Automatic model discovery
-
-If AWS credentials are detected, OpenClaw can automatically discover Bedrock
-models that support **streaming** and **text output**. Discovery uses
-`bedrock:ListFoundationModels` and is cached (default: 1 hour).
-
-Config options live under `models.bedrockDiscovery`:
-
-```json5
-{
-  models: {
-    bedrockDiscovery: {
-      enabled: true,
-      region: "us-east-1",
-      providerFilter: ["anthropic", "amazon"],
-      refreshInterval: 3600,
-      defaultContextWindow: 32000,
-      defaultMaxTokens: 4096,
-    },
-  },
-}
-```
-
-Notes:
-
-- `enabled` defaults to `true` when AWS credentials are present.
-- `region` defaults to `AWS_REGION` or `AWS_DEFAULT_REGION`, then `us-east-1`.
-- `providerFilter` matches Bedrock provider names (for example `anthropic`).
-- `refreshInterval` is seconds; set to `0` to disable caching.
-- `defaultContextWindow` (default: `32000`) and `defaultMaxTokens` (default: `4096`)
-  are used for discovered models (override if you know your model limits).
-
-## Setup (manual)
-
-1. Ensure AWS credentials are available on the **gateway host**:
-
-```bash
-export AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID="AKIA..."
-export AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY="..."
-export AWS_REGION="us-east-1"
-# Optional:
-export AWS_SESSION_TOKEN="..."
-export AWS_PROFILE="your-profile"
-# Optional (Bedrock API key/bearer token):
-export AWS_BEARER_TOKEN_BEDROCK="..."
-```
-
-2. Add a Bedrock provider and model to your config (no `apiKey` required):
-
-```json5
-{
-  models: {
-    providers: {
-      "amazon-bedrock": {
-        baseUrl: "https://bedrock-runtime.us-east-1.amazonaws.com",
-        api: "bedrock-converse-stream",
-        auth: "aws-sdk",
-        models: [
-          {
-            id: "anthropic.claude-opus-4-5-20251101-v1:0",
-            name: "Claude Opus 4.5 (Bedrock)",
-            reasoning: true,
-            input: ["text", "image"],
-            cost: { input: 0, output: 0, cacheRead: 0, cacheWrite: 0 },
-            contextWindow: 200000,
-            maxTokens: 8192,
-          },
-        ],
-      },
-    },
-  },
-  agents: {
-    defaults: {
-      model: { primary: "amazon-bedrock/anthropic.claude-opus-4-5-20251101-v1:0" },
-    },
-  },
-}
-```
-
-## EC2 Instance Roles
-
-When running OpenClaw on an EC2 instance with an IAM role attached, the AWS SDK
-will automatically use the instance metadata service (IMDS) for authentication.
-However, OpenClaw's credential detection currently only checks for environment
-variables, not IMDS credentials.
-
-**Workaround:** Set `AWS_PROFILE=default` to signal that AWS credentials are
-available. The actual authentication still uses the instance role via IMDS.
-
-```bash
-# Add to ~/.bashrc or your shell profile
-export AWS_PROFILE=default
-export AWS_REGION=us-east-1
-```
-
-**Required IAM permissions** for the EC2 instance role:
-
-- `bedrock:InvokeModel`
-- `bedrock:InvokeModelWithResponseStream`
-- `bedrock:ListFoundationModels` (for automatic discovery)
-
-Or attach the managed policy `AmazonBedrockFullAccess`.
-
-**Quick setup:**
-
-```bash
-# 1. Create IAM role and instance profile
-aws iam create-role --role-name EC2-Bedrock-Access \
-  --assume-role-policy-document '{
-    "Version": "2012-10-17",
-    "Statement": [{
-      "Effect": "Allow",
-      "Principal": {"Service": "ec2.amazonaws.com"},
-      "Action": "sts:AssumeRole"
-    }]
-  }'
-
-aws iam attach-role-policy --role-name EC2-Bedrock-Access \
-  --policy-arn arn:aws:iam::aws:policy/AmazonBedrockFullAccess
-
-aws iam create-instance-profile --instance-profile-name EC2-Bedrock-Access
-aws iam add-role-to-instance-profile \
-  --instance-profile-name EC2-Bedrock-Access \
-  --role-name EC2-Bedrock-Access
-
-# 2. Attach to your EC2 instance
-aws ec2 associate-iam-instance-profile \
-  --instance-id i-xxxxx \
-  --iam-instance-profile Name=EC2-Bedrock-Access
-
-# 3. On the EC2 instance, enable discovery
-openclaw config set models.bedrockDiscovery.enabled true
-openclaw config set models.bedrockDiscovery.region us-east-1
-
-# 4. Set the workaround env vars
-echo 'export AWS_PROFILE=default' >> ~/.bashrc
-echo 'export AWS_REGION=us-east-1' >> ~/.bashrc
-source ~/.bashrc
-
-# 5. Verify models are discovered
-openclaw models list
-```
-
-## Notes
-
-- Bedrock requires **model access** enabled in your AWS account/region.
-- Automatic discovery needs the `bedrock:ListFoundationModels` permission.
-- If you use profiles, set `AWS_PROFILE` on the gateway host.
-- OpenClaw surfaces the credential source in this order: `AWS_BEARER_TOKEN_BEDROCK`,
-  then `AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID` + `AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY`, then `AWS_PROFILE`, then the
-  default AWS SDK chain.
-- Reasoning support depends on the model; check the Bedrock model card for
-  current capabilities.
-- If you prefer a managed key flow, you can also place an OpenAI‑compatible
-  proxy in front of Bedrock and configure it as an OpenAI provider instead.

-read_when:
-  - Configuring broadcast groups
-  - Debugging multi-agent replies in WhatsApp
-status: experimental
-title: "Broadcast Groups"
----
-
-# Broadcast Groups
-
-**Status:** Experimental  
-**Version:** Added in 2026.1.9
-
-## Overview
-
-Broadcast Groups enable multiple agents to process and respond to the same message simultaneously. This allows you to create specialized agent teams that work together in a single WhatsApp group or DM — all using one phone number.
-
-Current scope: **WhatsApp only** (web channel).
-
-Broadcast groups are evaluated after channel allowlists and group activation rules. In WhatsApp groups, this means broadcasts happen when OpenClaw would normally reply (for example: on mention, depending on your group settings).
-
-## Use Cases
-
-### 1. Specialized Agent Teams
-
-Deploy multiple agents with atomic, focused responsibilities:
-
-```
-Group: "Development Team"
-Agents:
-  - CodeReviewer (reviews code snippets)
-  - DocumentationBot (generates docs)
-  - SecurityAuditor (checks for vulnerabilities)
-  - TestGenerator (suggests test cases)
-```
-
-Each agent processes the same message and provides its specialized perspective.
-
-### 2. Multi-Language Support
-
-```
-Group: "International Support"
-Agents:
-  - Agent_EN (responds in English)
-  - Agent_DE (responds in German)
-  - Agent_ES (responds in Spanish)
-```
-
-### 3. Quality Assurance Workflows
-
-```
-Group: "Customer Support"
-Agents:
-  - SupportAgent (provides answer)
-  - QAAgent (reviews quality, only responds if issues found)
-```
-
-### 4. Task Automation
-
-```
-Group: "Project Management"
-Agents:
-  - TaskTracker (updates task database)
-  - TimeLogger (logs time spent)
-  - ReportGenerator (creates summaries)
-```
-
-## Configuration
-
-### Basic Setup
-
-Add a top-level `broadcast` section (next to `bindings`). Keys are WhatsApp peer ids:
-
-- group chats: group JID (e.g. `120363403215116621@g.us`)
-- DMs: E.164 phone number (e.g. `+15551234567`)
-
-```json
-{
-  "broadcast": {
-    "120363403215116621@g.us": ["alfred", "baerbel", "assistant3"]
-  }
-}
-```
-
-**Result:** When OpenClaw would reply in this chat, it will run all three agents.
-
-### Processing Strategy
-
-Control how agents process messages:
-
-#### Parallel (Default)
-
-All agents process simultaneously:
-
-```json
-{
-  "broadcast": {
-    "strategy": "parallel",
-    "120363403215116621@g.us": ["alfred", "baerbel"]
-  }
-}
-```
-
-#### Sequential
-
-Agents process in order (one waits for previous to finish):
-
-```json
-{
-  "broadcast": {
-    "strategy": "sequential",
-    "120363403215116621@g.us": ["alfred", "baerbel"]
-  }
-}
-```
-
-### Complete Example
-
-```json
-{
-  "agents": {
-    "list": [
-      {
-        "id": "code-reviewer",
-        "name": "Code Reviewer",
-        "workspace": "/path/to/code-reviewer",
-        "sandbox": { "mode": "all" }
-      },
-      {
-        "id": "security-auditor",
-        "name": "Security Auditor",
-        "workspace": "/path/to/security-auditor",
-        "sandbox": { "mode": "all" }
-      },
-      {
-        "id": "docs-generator",
-        "name": "Documentation Generator",
-        "workspace": "/path/to/docs-generator",
-        "sandbox": { "mode": "all" }
-      }
-    ]
-  },
-  "broadcast": {
-    "strategy": "parallel",
-    "120363403215116621@g.us": ["code-reviewer", "security-auditor", "docs-generator"],
-    "120363424282127706@g.us": ["support-en", "support-de"],
-    "+15555550123": ["assistant", "logger"]
-  }
-}
-```
-
-## How It Works
-
-### Message Flow
-
-1. **Incoming message** arrives in a WhatsApp group
-2. **Broadcast check**: System checks if peer ID is in `broadcast`
-3. **If in broadcast list**:
-   - All listed agents process the message
-   - Each agent has its own session key and isolated context
-   - Agents process in parallel (default) or sequentially
-4. **If not in broadcast list**:
-   - Normal routing applies (first matching binding)
-
-Note: broadcast groups do not bypass channel allowlists or group activation rules (mentions/commands/etc). They only change _which agents run_ when a message is eligible for processing.
-
-### Session Isolation
-
-Each agent in a broadcast group maintains completely separate:
-
-- **Session keys** (`agent:alfred:whatsapp:group:120363...` vs `agent:baerbel:whatsapp:group:120363...`)
-- **Conversation history** (agent doesn't see other agents' messages)
-- **Workspace** (separate sandboxes if configured)
-- **Tool access** (different allow/deny lists)
-- **Memory/context** (separate IDENTITY.md, SOUL.md, etc.)
-- **Group context buffer** (recent group messages used for context) is shared per peer, so all broadcast agents see the same context when triggered
-
-This allows each agent to have:
-
-- Different personalities
-- Different tool access (e.g., read-only vs. read-write)
-- Different models (e.g., opus vs. sonnet)
-- Different skills installed
-
-### Example: Isolated Sessions
-
-In group `120363403215116621@g.us` with agents `["alfred", "baerbel"]`:
-
-**Alfred's context:**
-
-```
-Session: agent:alfred:whatsapp:group:120363403215116621@g.us
-History: [user message, alfred's previous responses]
-Workspace: /Users/pascal/openclaw-alfred/
-Tools: read, write, exec
-```
-
-**Bärbel's context:**
-
-```
-Session: agent:baerbel:whatsapp:group:120363403215116621@g.us
-History: [user message, baerbel's previous responses]
-Workspace: /Users/pascal/openclaw-baerbel/
-Tools: read only
-```
-
-## Best Practices
-
-### 1. Keep Agents Focused
-
-Design each agent with a single, clear responsibility:
-
-```json
-{
-  "broadcast": {
-    "DEV_GROUP": ["formatter", "linter", "tester"]
-  }
-}
-```
-
-✅ **Good:** Each agent has one job  
-❌ **Bad:** One generic "dev-helper" agent
-
-### 2. Use Descriptive Names
-
-Make it clear what each agent does:
-
-```json
-{
-  "agents": {
-    "security-scanner": { "name": "Security Scanner" },
-    "code-formatter": { "name": "Code Formatter" },
-    "test-generator": { "name": "Test Generator" }
-  }
-}
-```
-
-### 3. Configure Different Tool Access
-
-Give agents only the tools they need:
-
-```json
-{
-  "agents": {
-    "reviewer": {
-      "tools": { "allow": ["read", "exec"] } // Read-only
-    },
-    "fixer": {
-      "tools": { "allow": ["read", "write", "edit", "exec"] } // Read-write
-    }
-  }
-}
-```
-
-### 4. Monitor Performance
-
-With many agents, consider:
-
-- Using `"strategy": "parallel"` (default) for speed
-- Limiting broadcast groups to 5-10 agents
-- Using faster models for simpler agents
-
-### 5. Handle Failures Gracefully
-
-Agents fail independently. One agent's error doesn't block others:
-
-```
-Message → [Agent A ✓, Agent B ✗ error, Agent C ✓]
-Result: Agent A and C respond, Agent B logs error
-```
-
-## Compatibility
-
-### Providers
-
-Broadcast groups currently work with:
-
-- ✅ WhatsApp (implemented)
-- 🚧 Telegram (planned)
-- 🚧 Discord (planned)
-- 🚧 Slack (planned)
-
-### Routing
-
-Broadcast groups work alongside existing routing:
-
-```json
-{
-  "bindings": [
-    {
-      "match": { "channel": "whatsapp", "peer": { "kind": "group", "id": "GROUP_A" } },
-      "agentId": "alfred"
-    }
-  ],
-  "broadcast": {
-    "GROUP_B": ["agent1", "agent2"]
-  }
-}
-```
-
-- `GROUP_A`: Only alfred responds (normal routing)
-- `GROUP_B`: agent1 AND agent2 respond (broadcast)
-
-**Precedence:** `broadcast` takes priority over `bindings`.
-
-## Troubleshooting
-
-### Agents Not Responding
-
-**Check:**
-
-1. Agent IDs exist in `agents.list`
-2. Peer ID format is correct (e.g., `120363403215116621@g.us`)
-3. Agents are not in deny lists
-
-**Debug:**
-
-```bash
-tail -f ~/.openclaw/logs/gateway.log | grep broadcast
-```
-
-### Only One Agent Responding
-
-**Cause:** Peer ID might be in `bindings` but not `broadcast`.
-
-**Fix:** Add to broadcast config or remove from bindings.
-
-### Performance Issues
-
-**If slow with many agents:**
-
-- Reduce number of agents per group
-- Use lighter models (sonnet instead of opus)
-- Check sandbox startup time
-

+summary: "Broadcast a WhatsApp message to multiple agents"
+read_when:
+  - Configuring broadcast groups
+  - Debugging multi-agent replies in WhatsApp
+status: experimental
+title: "Broadcast Groups"
+---
+
+# Broadcast Groups
+
+**Status:** Experimental  
+**Version:** Added in 2026.1.9
+
+## Overview
+
+Broadcast Groups enable multiple agents to process and respond to the same message simultaneously. This allows you to create specialized agent teams that work together in a single WhatsApp group or DM — all using one phone number.
+
+Current scope: **WhatsApp only** (web channel).
+
+Broadcast groups are evaluated after channel allowlists and group activation rules. In WhatsApp groups, this means broadcasts happen when OpenClaw would normally reply (for example: on mention, depending on your group settings).
+
+## Use Cases
+
+### 1. Specialized Agent Teams
+
+Deploy multiple agents with atomic, focused responsibilities:
+
+```
+Group: "Development Team"
+Agents:
+  - CodeReviewer (reviews code snippets)
+  - DocumentationBot (generates docs)
+  - SecurityAuditor (checks for vulnerabilities)
+  - TestGenerator (suggests test cases)
+```
+
+Each agent processes the same message and provides its specialized perspective.
+
+### 2. Multi-Language Support
+
+```
+Group: "International Support"
+Agents:
+  - Agent_EN (responds in English)
+  - Agent_DE (responds in German)
+  - Agent_ES (responds in Spanish)
+```
+
+### 3. Quality Assurance Workflows
+
+```
+Group: "Customer Support"
+Agents:
+  - SupportAgent (provides answer)
+  - QAAgent (reviews quality, only responds if issues found)
+```
+
+### 4. Task Automation
+
+```
+Group: "Project Management"
+Agents:
+  - TaskTracker (updates task database)
+  - TimeLogger (logs time spent)
+  - ReportGenerator (creates summaries)
+```
+
+## Configuration
+
+### Basic Setup
+
+Add a top-level `broadcast` section (next to `bindings`). Keys are WhatsApp peer ids:
+
+- group chats: group JID (e.g. `120363403215116621@g.us`)
+- DMs: E.164 phone number (e.g. `+15551234567`)
+
+```json
+{
+  "broadcast": {
+    "120363403215116621@g.us": ["alfred", "baerbel", "assistant3"]
+  }
+}
+```
+
+**Result:** When OpenClaw would reply in this chat, it will run all three agents.
+
+### Processing Strategy
+
+Control how agents process messages:
+
+#### Parallel (Default)
+
+All agents process simultaneously:
+
+```json
+{
+  "broadcast": {
+    "strategy": "parallel",
+    "120363403215116621@g.us": ["alfred", "baerbel"]
+  }
+}
+```
+
+#### Sequential
+
+Agents process in order (one waits for previous to finish):
+
+```json
+{
+  "broadcast": {
+    "strategy": "sequential",
+    "120363403215116621@g.us": ["alfred", "baerbel"]
+  }
+}
+```
+
+### Complete Example
+
+```json
+{
+  "agents": {
+    "list": [
+      {
+        "id": "code-reviewer",
+        "name": "Code Reviewer",
+        "workspace": "/path/to/code-reviewer",
+        "sandbox": { "mode": "all" }
+      },
+      {
+        "id": "security-auditor",
+        "name": "Security Auditor",
+        "workspace": "/path/to/security-auditor",
+        "sandbox": { "mode": "all" }
+      },
+      {
+        "id": "docs-generator",
+        "name": "Documentation Generator",
+        "workspace": "/path/to/docs-generator",
+        "sandbox": { "mode": "all" }
+      }
+    ]
+  },
+  "broadcast": {
+    "strategy": "parallel",
+    "120363403215116621@g.us": ["code-reviewer", "security-auditor", "docs-generator"],
+    "120363424282127706@g.us": ["support-en", "support-de"],
+    "+15555550123": ["assistant", "logger"]
+  }
+}
+```
+
+## How It Works
+
+### Message Flow
+
+1. **Incoming message** arrives in a WhatsApp group
+2. **Broadcast check**: System checks if peer ID is in `broadcast`
+3. **If in broadcast list**:
+   - All listed agents process the message
+   - Each agent has its own session key and isolated context
+   - Agents process in parallel (default) or sequentially
+4. **If not in broadcast list**:
+   - Normal routing applies (first matching binding)
+
+Note: broadcast groups do not bypass channel allowlists or group activation rules (mentions/commands/etc). They only change _which agents run_ when a message is eligible for processing.
+
+### Session Isolation
+
+Each agent in a broadcast group maintains completely separate:
+
+- **Session keys** (`agent:alfred:whatsapp:group:120363...` vs `agent:baerbel:whatsapp:group:120363...`)
+- **Conversation history** (agent doesn't see other agents' messages)
+- **Workspace** (separate sandboxes if configured)
+- **Tool access** (different allow/deny lists)
+- **Memory/context** (separate IDENTITY.md, SOUL.md, etc.)
+- **Group context buffer** (recent group messages used for context) is shared per peer, so all broadcast agents see the same context when triggered
+
+This allows each agent to have:
+
+- Different personalities
+- Different tool access (e.g., read-only vs. read-write)
+- Different models (e.g., opus vs. sonnet)
+- Different skills installed
+
+### Example: Isolated Sessions
+
+In group `120363403215116621@g.us` with agents `["alfred", "baerbel"]`:
+
+**Alfred's context:**
+
+```
+Session: agent:alfred:whatsapp:group:120363403215116621@g.us
+History: [user message, alfred's previous responses]
+Workspace: /Users/pascal/openclaw-alfred/
+Tools: read, write, exec
+```
+
+**Bärbel's context:**
+
+```
+Session: agent:baerbel:whatsapp:group:120363403215116621@g.us
+History: [user message, baerbel's previous responses]
+Workspace: /Users/pascal/openclaw-baerbel/
+Tools: read only
+```
+
+## Best Practices
+
+### 1. Keep Agents Focused
+
+Design each agent with a single, clear responsibility:
+
+```json
+{
+  "broadcast": {
+    "DEV_GROUP": ["formatter", "linter", "tester"]
+  }
+}
+```
+
+✅ **Good:** Each agent has one job  
+❌ **Bad:** One generic "dev-helper" agent
+
+### 2. Use Descriptive Names
+
+Make it clear what each agent does:
+
+```json
+{
+  "agents": {
+    "security-scanner": { "name": "Security Scanner" },
+    "code-formatter": { "name": "Code Formatter" },
+    "test-generator": { "name": "Test Generator" }
+  }
+}
+```
+
+### 3. Configure Different Tool Access
+
+Give agents only the tools they need:
+
+```json
+{
+  "agents": {
+    "reviewer": {
+      "tools": { "allow": ["read", "exec"] } // Read-only
+    },
+    "fixer": {
+      "tools": { "allow": ["read", "write", "edit", "exec"] } // Read-write
+    }
+  }
+}
+```
+
+### 4. Monitor Performance
+
+With many agents, consider:
+
+- Using `"strategy": "parallel"` (default) for speed
+- Limiting broadcast groups to 5-10 agents
+- Using faster models for simpler agents
+
+### 5. Handle Failures Gracefully
+
+Agents fail independently. One agent's error doesn't block others:
+
+```
+Message → [Agent A ✓, Agent B ✗ error, Agent C ✓]
+Result: Agent A and C respond, Agent B logs error
+```
+
+## Compatibility
+
+### Providers
+
+Broadcast groups currently work with:
+
+- ✅ WhatsApp (implemented)
+- 🚧 Telegram (planned)
+- 🚧 Discord (planned)
+- 🚧 Slack (planned)
+
+### Routing
+
+Broadcast groups work alongside existing routing:
+
+```json
+{
+  "bindings": [
+    {
+      "match": { "channel": "whatsapp", "peer": { "kind": "group", "id": "GROUP_A" } },
+      "agentId": "alfred"
+    }
+  ],
+  "broadcast": {
+    "GROUP_B": ["agent1", "agent2"]
+  }
+}
+```
+
+- `GROUP_A`: Only alfred responds (normal routing)
+- `GROUP_B`: agent1 AND agent2 respond (broadcast)
+
+**Precedence:** `broadcast` takes priority over `bindings`.
+
+## Troubleshooting
+
+### Agents Not Responding
+
+**Check:**
+
+1. Agent IDs exist in `agents.list`
+2. Peer ID format is correct (e.g., `120363403215116621@g.us`)
+3. Agents are not in deny lists
+
+**Debug:**
+
+```bash
+tail -f ~/.openclaw/logs/gateway.log | grep broadcast
+```
+
+### Only One Agent Responding
+
+**Cause:** Peer ID might be in `bindings` but not `broadcast`.
+
+**Fix:** Add to broadcast config or remove from bindings.
+
+### Performance Issues
+
+**If slow with many agents:**
+
+- Reduce number of agents per group
+- Use lighter models (sonnet instead of opus)
+- Check sandbox startup time
+
+## Examples
+
+### Example 1: Code Review Team
+
+```json
+{
+  "broadcast": {
+    "strategy": "parallel",
+    "120363403215116621@g.us": [
+      "code-formatter",
+      "security-scanner",
+      "test-coverage",
+      "docs-checker"
+    ]
+  },
+  "agents": {
+    "list": [
+      {
+        "id": "code-formatter",
+        "workspace": "~/agents/formatter",
+        "tools": { "allow": ["read", "write"] }
+      },
+      {
+        "id": "security-scanner",
+        "workspace": "~/agents/security",
+        "tools": { "allow": ["read", "exec"] }

+      },
+      { "id": "docs-checker", "workspace": "~/agents/docs", "tools": { "allow": ["read"] } }
+    ]
+  }
+}
+```
+
+**User sends:** Code snippet  
+**Responses:**
+
+- code-formatter: "Fixed indentation and added type hints"
+- security-scanner: "⚠️ SQL injection vulnerability in line 12"
+- test-coverage: "Coverage is 45%, missing tests for error cases"
+- docs-checker: "Missing docstring for function `process_data`"

+  - Changing channel routing or inbox behavior
+title: "Channel Routing"
+---
+
+# Channels & routing
+
+OpenClaw routes replies **back to the channel where a message came from**. The
+model does not choose a channel; routing is deterministic and controlled by the
+host configuration.
+
+## Key terms
+
+- **Channel**: `whatsapp`, `telegram`, `discord`, `slack`, `signal`, `imessage`, `webchat`.
+- **AccountId**: per‑channel account instance (when supported).
+- **AgentId**: an isolated workspace + session store (“brain”).
+- **SessionKey**: the bucket key used to store context and control concurrency.
+
+## Session key shapes (examples)
+
+Direct messages collapse to the agent’s **main** session:
+
+- `agent:<agentId>:<mainKey>` (default: `agent:main:main`)
+
+Groups and channels remain isolated per channel:
+
+- Groups: `agent:<agentId>:<channel>:group:<id>`
+- Channels/rooms: `agent:<agentId>:<channel>:channel:<id>`
+
+Threads:
+
+- Slack/Discord threads append `:thread:<threadId>` to the base key.
+- Telegram forum topics embed `:topic:<topicId>` in the group key.
+
+Examples:
+
+- `agent:main:telegram:group:-1001234567890:topic:42`
+- `agent:main:discord:channel:123456:thread:987654`
+
+## Routing rules (how an agent is chosen)
+
+Routing picks **one agent** for each inbound message:
+
+1. **Exact peer match** (`bindings` with `peer.kind` + `peer.id`).
+2. **Parent peer match** (thread inheritance).
+3. **Guild + roles match** (Discord) via `guildId` + `roles`.
+4. **Guild match** (Discord) via `guildId`.
+5. **Team match** (Slack) via `teamId`.
+6. **Account match** (`accountId` on the channel).
+7. **Channel match** (any account on that channel, `accountId: "*"`).
+8. **Default agent** (`agents.list[].default`, else first list entry, fallback to `main`).
+
+When a binding includes multiple match fields (`peer`, `guildId`, `teamId`, `roles`), **all provided fields must match** for that binding to apply.
+
+The matched agent determines which workspace and session store are used.
+
+## Broadcast groups (run multiple agents)
+
+Broadcast groups let you run **multiple agents** for the same peer **when OpenClaw would normally reply** (for example: in WhatsApp groups, after mention/activation gating).
+
+Config:
+
+```json5
+{
+  broadcast: {
+    strategy: "parallel",
+    "120363403215116621@g.us": ["alfred", "baerbel"],
+    "+15555550123": ["support", "logger"],
+  },
+}
+```
+
+See: [Broadcast Groups](/channels/broadcast-groups).
+
+## Config overview
+
+- `agents.list`: named agent definitions (workspace, model, etc.).
+- `bindings`: map inbound channels/accounts/peers to agents.
+
+Example:
+
+```json5
+{
+  agents: {
+    list: [{ id: "support", name: "Support", workspace: "~/.openclaw/workspace-support" }],
+  },
+  bindings: [
+    { match: { channel: "slack", teamId: "T123" }, agentId: "support" },
+    { match: { channel: "telegram", peer: { kind: "group", id: "-100123" } }, agentId: "support" },
+  ],
+}
+```
+
+## Session storage
+
+Session stores live under the state directory (default `~/.openclaw`):
+
+- `~/.openclaw/agents/<agentId>/sessions/sessions.json`
+- JSONL transcripts live alongside the store
+
+You can override the store path via `session.store` and `{agentId}` templating.
+
+## WebChat behavior
+
+WebChat attaches to the **selected agent** and defaults to the agent’s main
+session. Because of this, WebChat lets you see cross‑channel context for that
+agent in one place.
+
+## Reply context
+
+Inbound replies include:
+
+- `ReplyToId`, `ReplyToBody`, and `ReplyToSender` when available.
+- Quoted context is appended to `Body` as a `[Replying to ...]` block.
+
+This is consistent across channels.

-## Goals
-
-- Talk to OpenClaw via Discord DMs or guild channels.
-- Direct chats collapse into the agent's main session (default `agent:main:main`); guild channels stay isolated as `agent:<agentId>:discord:channel:<channelId>` (display names use `discord:<guildSlug>#<channelSlug>`).
-- Group DMs are ignored by default; enable via `channels.discord.dm.groupEnabled` and optionally restrict by `channels.discord.dm.groupChannels`.
-- Keep routing deterministic: replies always go back to the channel they arrived on.
-
-## How it works
-
-1. Create a Discord application → Bot, enable the intents you need (DMs + guild messages + message content), and grab the bot token.
-2. Invite the bot to your server with the permissions required to read/send messages where you want to use it.
-3. Configure OpenClaw with `channels.discord.token` (or `DISCORD_BOT_TOKEN` as a fallback).
-4. Run the gateway; it auto-starts the Discord channel when a token is available (config first, env fallback) and `channels.discord.enabled` is not `false`.
-   - If you prefer env vars, set `DISCORD_BOT_TOKEN` (a config block is optional).
-5. Direct chats: use `user:<id>` (or a `<@id>` mention) when delivering; all turns land in the shared `main` session. Bare numeric IDs are ambiguous and rejected.
-6. Guild channels: use `channel:<channelId>` for delivery. Mentions are required by default and can be set per guild or per channel.
-7. Direct chats: secure by default via `channels.discord.dm.policy` (default: `"pairing"`). Unknown senders get a pairing code (expires after 1 hour); approve via `openclaw pairing approve discord <code>`.
-   - To keep old “open to anyone” behavior: set `channels.discord.dm.policy="open"` and `channels.discord.dm.allowFrom=["*"]`.
-   - To hard-allowlist: set `channels.discord.dm.policy="allowlist"` and list senders in `channels.discord.dm.allowFrom`.
-   - To ignore all DMs: set `channels.discord.dm.enabled=false` or `channels.discord.dm.policy="disabled"`.
-8. Group DMs are ignored by default; enable via `channels.discord.dm.groupEnabled` and optionally restrict by `channels.discord.dm.groupChannels`.
-9. Optional guild rules: set `channels.discord.guilds` keyed by guild id (preferred) or slug, with per-channel rules.
-10. Optional native commands: `commands.native` defaults to `"auto"` (on for Discord/Telegram, off for Slack). Override with `channels.discord.commands.native: true|false|"auto"`; `false` clears previously registered commands. Text commands are controlled by `commands.text` and must be sent as standalone `/...` messages. Use `commands.useAccessGroups: false` to bypass access-group checks for commands.
-    - Full command list + config: [Slash commands](/tools/slash-commands)
-11. Optional guild context history: set `channels.discord.historyLimit` (default 20, falls back to `messages.groupChat.historyLimit`) to include the last N guild messages as context when replying to a mention. Set `0` to disable.
-12. Reactions: the agent can trigger reactions via the `discord` tool (gated by `channels.discord.actions.*`).
-    - Reaction removal semantics: see [/tools/reactions](/tools/reactions).
-    - The `discord` tool is only exposed when the current channel is Discord.
-13. Native commands use isolated session keys (`agent:<agentId>:discord:slash:<userId>`) rather than the shared `main` session.
-
-Note: Name → id resolution uses guild member search and requires Server Members Intent; if the bot can’t search members, use ids or `<@id>` mentions.
-Note: Slugs are lowercase with spaces replaced by `-`. Channel names are slugged without the leading `#`.
-Note: Guild context `[from:]` lines include `author.tag` + `id` to make ping-ready replies easy.
-
-## Config writes
-
-By default, Discord is allowed to write config updates triggered by `/config set|unset` (requires `commands.config: true`).
-
-Disable with:
+    Env fallback for the default account:
+
+```bash
+DISCORD_BOT_TOKEN=...
+```
+
+  </Step>
+
+  <Step title="Invite the bot and start gateway">
+    Invite the bot to your server with message permissions.
+
+```bash
+openclaw gateway
+```
+
+  </Step>
+
+  <Step title="Approve first DM pairing">
+
+```bash
+openclaw pairing list discord
+openclaw pairing approve discord <CODE>
+```
+
+    Pairing codes expire after 1 hour.
+
+  </Step>
+</Steps>
+
+<Note>
+Token resolution is account-aware. Config token values win over env fallback. `DISCORD_BOT_TOKEN` is only used for the default account.
+</Note>
+
+## Runtime model
+
+- Gateway owns the Discord connection.
+- Reply routing is deterministic: Discord inbound replies back to Discord.
+- By default (`session.dmScope=main`), direct chats share the agent main session (`agent:main:main`).
+- Guild channels are isolated session keys (`agent:<agentId>:discord:channel:<channelId>`).
+- Group DMs are ignored by default (`channels.discord.dm.groupEnabled=false`).
+- Native slash commands run in isolated command sessions (`agent:<agentId>:discord:slash:<userId>`), while still carrying `CommandTargetSessionKey` to the routed conversation session.
+
+## Access control and routing
+
+<Tabs>
+  <Tab title="DM policy">
+    `channels.discord.dmPolicy` controls DM access (legacy: `channels.discord.dm.policy`):
+
+    - `pairing` (default)
+    - `allowlist`
+    - `open` (requires `channels.discord.allowFrom` to include `"*"`; legacy: `channels.discord.dm.allowFrom`)
+    - `disabled`
+
+    If DM policy is not open, unknown users are blocked (or prompted for pairing in `pairing` mode).
+
+    DM target format for delivery:
+
+    - `user:<id>`
+    - `<@id>` mention
+
+    Bare numeric IDs are ambiguous and rejected unless an explicit user/channel target kind is provided.
+
+  </Tab>
+
+  <Tab title="Guild policy">
+    Guild handling is controlled by `channels.discord.groupPolicy`:
+
+    - `open`
+    - `allowlist`
+    - `disabled`
+
+    Secure baseline when `channels.discord` exists is `allowlist`.
+
+    `allowlist` behavior:
+
+    - guild must match `channels.discord.guilds` (`id` preferred, slug accepted)
+    - optional sender allowlists: `users` (IDs or names) and `roles` (role IDs only); if either is configured, senders are allowed when they match `users` OR `roles`
+    - if a guild has `channels` configured, non-listed channels are denied
+    - if a guild has no `channels` block, all channels in that allowlisted guild are allowed
+
+    Example:
 
 ```json5
 {
-  channels: { discord: { configWrites: false } },
+  channels: {
+    discord: {
+      groupPolicy: "allowlist",
+      guilds: {
+        "123456789012345678": {
+          requireMention: true,
+          users: ["987654321098765432"],
+          roles: ["123456789012345678"],
+          channels: {
+            general: { allow: true },
+            help: { allow: true, requireMention: true },
+          },
+        },
+      },
+    },
+  },
 }
 ```
 
-## How to create your own bot
+    If you only set `DISCORD_BOT_TOKEN` and do not create a `channels.discord` block, runtime fallback is `groupPolicy="open"` (with a warning in logs).
 
-This is the “Discord Developer Portal” setup for running OpenClaw in a server (guild) channel like `#help`.
+  </Tab>
 
-### 1) Create the Discord app + bot user
+  <Tab title="Mentions and group DMs">
+    Guild messages are mention-gated by default.
 
-1. Discord Developer Portal → **Applications** → **New Application**
-2. In your app:
-   - **Bot** → **Add Bot**
-   - Copy the **Bot Token** (this is what you put in `DISCORD_BOT_TOKEN`)
+    Mention detection includes:
 
-### 2) Enable the gateway intents OpenClaw needs
+    - explicit bot mention
+    - configured mention patterns (`agents.list[].groupChat.mentionPatterns`, fallback `messages.groupChat.mentionPatterns`)
+    - implicit reply-to-bot behavior in supported cases
 
-Discord blocks “privileged intents” unless you explicitly enable them.
+    `requireMention` is configured per guild/channel (`channels.discord.guilds...`).
 
-In **Bot** → **Privileged Gateway Intents**, enable:
+    Group DMs:
 
-- **Message Content Intent** (required to read message text in most guilds; without it you’ll see “Used disallowed intents” or the bot will connect but not react to messages)
-- **Server Members Intent** (recommended; required for some member/user lookups and allowlist matching in guilds)
+    - default: ignored (`dm.groupEnabled=false`)
+    - optional allowlist via `dm.groupChannels` (channel IDs or slugs)
 
-You usually do **not** need **Presence Intent**. Setting the bot's own presence (`setPresence` action) uses gateway OP3 and does not require this intent; it is only needed if you want to receive presence updates about other guild members.
+  </Tab>
+</Tabs>
 
-### 3) Generate an invite URL (OAuth2 URL Generator)
+### Role-based agent routing
+
+Use `bindings[].match.roles` to route Discord guild members to different agents by role ID. Role-based bindings accept role IDs only and are evaluated after peer or parent-peer bindings and before guild-only bindings. If a binding also sets other match fields (for example `peer` + `guildId` + `roles`), all configured fields must match.
+
+```json5
+{
+  bindings: [
+    {
+      agentId: "opus",
+      match: {
+        channel: "discord",
+        guildId: "123456789012345678",
+        roles: ["111111111111111111"],
+      },
+    },
+    {
+      agentId: "sonnet",
+      match: {
+        channel: "discord",
+        guildId: "123456789012345678",
+      },
+    },
+  ],

+- Native command auth uses the same Discord allowlists/policies as normal message handling.
+- Commands may still be visible in Discord UI for users who are not authorized; execution still enforces OpenClaw auth and returns "not authorized".

+<AccordionGroup>
+  <Accordion title="Reply tags and native replies">
+    Discord supports reply tags in agent output:
+
+    - `[[reply_to_current]]`
+    - `[[reply_to:<id>]]`
+
+    Controlled by `channels.discord.replyToMode`:
+
+    - `off` (default)
+    - `first`
+    - `all`
+
+    Note: `off` disables implicit reply threading. Explicit `[[reply_to_*]]` tags are still honored.
+
+    Message IDs are surfaced in context/history so agents can target specific messages.
+
+  </Accordion>
+
+  <Accordion title="History, context, and thread behavior">
+    Guild history context:
+
+    - `channels.discord.historyLimit` default `20`

+    - `0` disables
+
+    DM history controls:
+
+    - `channels.discord.dmHistoryLimit`
+    - `channels.discord.dms["<user_id>"].historyLimit`
+
+    Thread behavior:
+
+    - Discord threads are routed as channel sessions
+    - parent thread metadata can be used for parent-session linkage
+    - thread config inherits parent channel config unless a thread-specific entry exists
+
+    Channel topics are injected as **untrusted** context (not as system prompt).

+    - `messages.ackReaction`
+    - agent identity emoji fallback (`agents.list[].identity.emoji`, else "👀")

-Notes:
-
-- `requireMention: true` means the bot only replies when mentioned (recommended for shared channels).
-- `agents.list[].groupChat.mentionPatterns` (or `messages.groupChat.mentionPatterns`) also count as mentions for guild messages.
-- Multi-agent override: set per-agent patterns on `agents.list[].groupChat.mentionPatterns`.
-- If `channels` is present, any channel not listed is denied by default.
-- Use a `"*"` channel entry to apply defaults across all channels; explicit channel entries override the wildcard.
-- Threads inherit parent channel config (allowlist, `requireMention`, skills, prompts, etc.) unless you add the thread channel id explicitly.
-- Owner hint: when a per-guild or per-channel `users` allowlist matches the sender, OpenClaw treats that sender as the owner in the system prompt. For a global owner across channels, set `commands.ownerAllowFrom`.
-- Bot-authored messages are ignored by default; set `channels.discord.allowBots=true` to allow them (own messages remain filtered).
-- Warning: If you allow replies to other bots (`channels.discord.allowBots=true`), prevent bot-to-bot reply loops with `requireMention`, `channels.discord.guilds.*.channels.<id>.users` allowlists, and/or clear guardrails in `AGENTS.md` and `SOUL.md`.
-
-### 6) Verify it works
-
-1. Start the gateway.
-2. In your server channel, send: `@Krill hello` (or whatever your bot name is).
-3. If nothing happens: check **Troubleshooting** below.
-
-### Troubleshooting
-
-- First: run `openclaw doctor` and `openclaw channels status --probe` (actionable warnings + quick audits).
-- **“Used disallowed intents”**: enable **Message Content Intent** (and likely **Server Members Intent**) in the Developer Portal, then restart the gateway.
-- **Bot connects but never replies in a guild channel**:
-  - Missing **Message Content Intent**, or
-  - The bot lacks channel permissions (View/Send/Read History), or
-  - Your config requires mentions and you didn’t mention it, or
-  - Your guild/channel allowlist denies the channel/user.
-- **`requireMention: false` but still no replies**:
-- `channels.discord.groupPolicy` defaults to **allowlist**; set it to `"open"` or add a guild entry under `channels.discord.guilds` (optionally list channels under `channels.discord.guilds.<id>.channels` to restrict).
-  - If you only set `DISCORD_BOT_TOKEN` and never create a `channels.discord` section, the runtime
-    defaults `groupPolicy` to `open`. Add `channels.discord.groupPolicy`,
-    `channels.defaults.groupPolicy`, or a guild/channel allowlist to lock it down.
-- `requireMention` must live under `channels.discord.guilds` (or a specific channel). `channels.discord.requireMention` at the top level is ignored.
-- **Permission audits** (`channels status --probe`) only check numeric channel IDs. If you use slugs/names as `channels.discord.guilds.*.channels` keys, the audit can’t verify permissions.
-- **DMs don’t work**: `channels.discord.dm.enabled=false`, `channels.discord.dm.policy="disabled"`, or you haven’t been approved yet (`channels.discord.dm.policy="pairing"`).
-- **Exec approvals in Discord**: Discord supports a **button UI** for exec approvals in DMs (Allow once / Always allow / Deny). `/approve <id> ...` is only for forwarded approvals and won’t resolve Discord’s button prompts. If you see `❌ Failed to submit approval: Error: unknown approval id` or the UI never shows up, check:
-  - `channels.discord.execApprovals.enabled: true` in your config.
-  - Your Discord user ID is listed in `channels.discord.execApprovals.approvers` (the UI is only sent to approvers).
-  - Use the buttons in the DM prompt (**Allow once**, **Always allow**, **Deny**).
-  - See [Exec approvals](/tools/exec-approvals) and [Slash commands](/tools/slash-commands) for the broader approvals and command flow.
-
-## Capabilities & limits
-
-- DMs and guild text channels (threads are treated as separate channels; voice not supported).
-- Typing indicators sent best-effort; message chunking uses `channels.discord.textChunkLimit` (default 2000) and splits tall replies by line count (`channels.discord.maxLinesPerMessage`, default 17).
-- Optional newline chunking: set `channels.discord.chunkMode="newline"` to split on blank lines (paragraph boundaries) before length chunking.
-- File uploads supported up to the configured `channels.discord.mediaMaxMb` (default 8 MB).
-- Mention-gated guild replies by default to avoid noisy bots.
-- Reply context is injected when a message references another message (quoted content + ids).
-- Native reply threading is **off by default**; enable with `channels.discord.replyToMode` and reply tags.
-
-## Retry policy
-
-Outbound Discord API calls retry on rate limits (429) using Discord `retry_after` when available, with exponential backoff and jitter. Configure via `channels.discord.retry`. See [Retry policy](/concepts/retry).

-- `dm.enabled`: set `false` to ignore all DMs (default `true`).
-- `dm.policy`: DM access control (`pairing` recommended). `"open"` requires `dm.allowFrom=["*"]`.
-- `dm.allowFrom`: DM allowlist (user ids or names). Used by `dm.policy="allowlist"` and for `dm.policy="open"` validation. The wizard accepts usernames and resolves them to ids when the bot can search members.
-- `dm.groupEnabled`: enable group DMs (default `false`).
-- `dm.groupChannels`: optional allowlist for group DM channel ids or slugs.

+  <Accordion title="Exec approvals in Discord">
+    Discord supports button-based exec approvals in DMs and can optionally post approval prompts in the originating channel.
+
+    Config path:

+    - `channels.discord.execApprovals.enabled`
+    - `channels.discord.execApprovals.approvers`

+    - `agentFilter`, `sessionFilter`, `cleanupAfterResolve`
+
+    When `target` is `channel` or `both`, the approval prompt is visible in the channel. Only configured approvers can use the buttons; other users receive an ephemeral denial. Approval prompts include the command text, so only enable channel delivery in trusted channels. If the channel ID cannot be derived from the session key, OpenClaw falls back to DM delivery.

+## Tools and action gates
+
+Discord message actions include messaging, channel admin, moderation, presence, and metadata actions.
+
+Core examples:
+
+- messaging: `sendMessage`, `readMessages`, `editMessage`, `deleteMessage`, `threadReply`
+- reactions: `react`, `reactions`, `emojiList`
+- moderation: `timeout`, `kick`, `ban`
+- presence: `setPresence`
+
+Action gates live under `channels.discord.actions.*`.
+
+Default gate behavior:
+
+| Action group                                                                                                                                                             | Default  |
+| ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ | -------- |
+| reactions, messages, threads, pins, polls, search, memberInfo, roleInfo, channelInfo, channels, voiceStatus, events, stickers, emojiUploads, stickerUploads, permissions | enabled  |
+| roles                                                                                                                                                                    | disabled |
+| moderation                                                                                                                                                               | disabled |

+
+## Components v2 UI
+
+OpenClaw uses Discord components v2 for exec approvals and cross-context markers. Discord message actions can also accept `components` for custom UI (advanced; requires Carbon component instances), while legacy `embeds` remain available but are not recommended.
+
+- `channels.discord.ui.components.accentColor` sets the accent color used by Discord component containers (hex).
+- Set per account with `channels.discord.accounts.<id>.ui.components.accentColor`.
+- `embeds` are ignored when components v2 are present.
+
+Example:
+
+```json5
+{
+  channels: {
+    discord: {
+      ui: {
+        components: {
+          accentColor: "#5865F2",
+        },
       },
     },
   },
 }
 ```
 
-Allowlist notes (PK-enabled):
-
-- Use `pk:<memberId>` in `dm.allowFrom`, `guilds.<id>.users`, or per-channel `users`.
-- Member display names are also matched by name/slug.
-- Lookups use the **original** Discord message ID (the pre-proxy message), so
-  the PK API only resolves it within its 30-minute window.
-- If PK lookups fail (e.g., private system without a token), proxied messages
-  are treated as bot messages and are dropped unless `channels.discord.allowBots=true`.

-- `replyToMode`: `off` (default), `first`, or `all`. Applies only when the model includes a reply tag.
-
-## Reply tags
-
-To request a threaded reply, the model can include one tag in its output:
-
-- `[[reply_to_current]]` — reply to the triggering Discord message.
-- `[[reply_to:<id>]]` — reply to a specific message id from context/history.
-  Current message ids are appended to prompts as `[message_id: …]`; history entries already include ids.
-
-Behavior is controlled by `channels.discord.replyToMode`:
-
-- `off`: ignore tags.
-- `first`: only the first outbound chunk/attachment is a reply.
-- `all`: every outbound chunk/attachment is a reply.
-
-Allowlist matching notes:
-
-- `allowFrom`/`users`/`groupChannels` accept ids, names, tags, or mentions like `<@id>`.
-- Prefixes like `discord:`/`user:` (users) and `channel:` (group DMs) are supported.
-- Use `*` to allow any sender/channel.
-- When `guilds.<id>.channels` is present, channels not listed are denied by default.
-- When `guilds.<id>.channels` is omitted, all channels in the allowlisted guild are allowed.
-- To allow **no channels**, set `channels.discord.groupPolicy: "disabled"` (or keep an empty allowlist).
-- The configure wizard accepts `Guild/Channel` names (public + private) and resolves them to IDs when possible.
-- On startup, OpenClaw resolves channel/user names in allowlists to IDs (when the bot can search members)
-  and logs the mapping; unresolved entries are kept as typed.
-
-Native command notes:
-
-- The registered commands mirror OpenClaw’s chat commands.
-- Native commands honor the same allowlists as DMs/guild messages (`channels.discord.dm.allowFrom`, `channels.discord.guilds`, per-channel rules).
-- Slash commands may still be visible in Discord UI to users who aren’t allowlisted; OpenClaw enforces allowlists on execution and replies “not authorized”.
-
-## Tool actions
-
-The agent can call `discord` with actions like:
-
-- `react` / `reactions` (add or list reactions)
-- `sticker`, `poll`, `permissions`
-- `readMessages`, `sendMessage`, `editMessage`, `deleteMessage`
-- Read/search/pin tool payloads include normalized `timestampMs` (UTC epoch ms) and `timestampUtc` alongside raw Discord `timestamp`.
-- `threadCreate`, `threadList`, `threadReply`
-- `pinMessage`, `unpinMessage`, `listPins`
-- `searchMessages`, `memberInfo`, `roleInfo`, `roleAdd`, `roleRemove`, `emojiList`
-- `channelInfo`, `channelList`, `voiceStatus`, `eventList`, `eventCreate`
-- `timeout`, `kick`, `ban`
-- `setPresence` (bot activity and online status)
-
-Discord message ids are surfaced in the injected context (`[discord message id: …]` and history lines) so the agent can target them.
-Emoji can be unicode (e.g., `✅`) or custom emoji syntax like `<:party_blob:1234567890>`.
-
-## Safety & ops
-
-- Treat the bot token like a password; prefer the `DISCORD_BOT_TOKEN` env var on supervised hosts or lock down the config file permissions.
-- Only grant the bot permissions it needs (typically Read/Send Messages).
-- If the bot is stuck or rate limited, restart the gateway (`openclaw gateway --force`) after confirming no other processes own the Discord session.
+## Voice messages
+
+Discord voice messages show a waveform preview and require OGG/Opus audio plus metadata. OpenClaw generates the waveform automatically, but it needs `ffmpeg` and `ffprobe` available on the gateway host to inspect and convert audio files.
+
+Requirements and constraints:
+
+- Provide a **local file path** (URLs are rejected).
+- Omit text content (Discord does not allow text + voice message in the same payload).
+- Any audio format is accepted; OpenClaw converts to OGG/Opus when needed.
+
+Example:
+
+```bash
+message(action="send", channel="discord", target="channel:123", path="/path/to/audio.mp3", asVoice=true)
+```

+
+```bash
+openclaw doctor
+openclaw channels status --probe
+openclaw logs --follow
+```
+
+  </Accordion>
+
+  <Accordion title="Require mention false but still blocked">
+    Common causes:
+
+    - `groupPolicy="allowlist"` without matching guild/channel allowlist
+    - `requireMention` configured in the wrong place (must be under `channels.discord.guilds` or channel entry)
+    - sender blocked by guild/channel `users` allowlist
+
+  </Accordion>
+
+  <Accordion title="Permissions audit mismatches">
+    `channels status --probe` permission checks only work for numeric channel IDs.
+
+    If you use slug keys, runtime matching can still work, but probe cannot fully verify permissions.

+    - DM policy disabled: `channels.discord.dmPolicy="disabled"` (legacy: `channels.discord.dm.policy`)
+    - awaiting pairing approval in `pairing` mode
+
+  </Accordion>
+
+  <Accordion title="Bot to bot loops">
+    By default bot-authored messages are ignored.

 - **Webhook support:** `webhook-set.ts` wraps `setWebhook/deleteWebhook`; `webhook.ts` hosts the callback with health + graceful shutdown. Gateway enables webhook mode when `channels.telegram.webhookUrl` + `channels.telegram.webhookSecret` are set (otherwise it long-polls).

+summary: "Group chat behavior across surfaces (WhatsApp/Telegram/Discord/Slack/Signal/iMessage/Microsoft Teams)"
+read_when:
+  - Changing group chat behavior or mention gating
+title: "Groups"
+---
+
+# Groups
+
+OpenClaw treats group chats consistently across surfaces: WhatsApp, Telegram, Discord, Slack, Signal, iMessage, Microsoft Teams.
+
+## Beginner intro (2 minutes)
+
+OpenClaw “lives” on your own messaging accounts. There is no separate WhatsApp bot user.
+If **you** are in a group, OpenClaw can see that group and respond there.
+
+Default behavior:
+
+- Groups are restricted (`groupPolicy: "allowlist"`).
+- Replies require a mention unless you explicitly disable mention gating.
+
+Translation: allowlisted senders can trigger OpenClaw by mentioning it.
+
+> TL;DR
+>
+> - **DM access** is controlled by `*.allowFrom`.
+> - **Group access** is controlled by `*.groupPolicy` + allowlists (`*.groups`, `*.groupAllowFrom`).
+> - **Reply triggering** is controlled by mention gating (`requireMention`, `/activation`).
+
+Quick flow (what happens to a group message):
+
+```
+groupPolicy? disabled -> drop
+groupPolicy? allowlist -> group allowed? no -> drop
+requireMention? yes -> mentioned? no -> store for context only
+otherwise -> reply
+```
+
+![Group message flow](/images/groups-flow.svg)

+
+| Goal                                         | What to set                                                |
+| -------------------------------------------- | ---------------------------------------------------------- |
+| Allow all groups but only reply on @mentions | `groups: { "*": { requireMention: true } }`                |
+| Disable all group replies                    | `groupPolicy: "disabled"`                                  |
+| Only specific groups                         | `groups: { "<group-id>": { ... } }` (no `"*"` key)         |
+| Only you can trigger in groups               | `groupPolicy: "allowlist"`, `groupAllowFrom: ["+1555..."]` |
+
+## Session keys
+
+- Group sessions use `agent:<agentId>:<channel>:group:<id>` session keys (rooms/channels use `agent:<agentId>:<channel>:channel:<id>`).
+- Telegram forum topics add `:topic:<threadId>` to the group id so each topic has its own session.
+- Direct chats use the main session (or per-sender if configured).
+- Heartbeats are skipped for group sessions.
+
+## Pattern: personal DMs + public groups (single agent)
+
+Yes — this works well if your “personal” traffic is **DMs** and your “public” traffic is **groups**.
+
+Why: in single-agent mode, DMs typically land in the **main** session key (`agent:main:main`), while groups always use **non-main** session keys (`agent:main:<channel>:group:<id>`). If you enable sandboxing with `mode: "non-main"`, those group sessions run in Docker while your main DM session stays on-host.
+
+This gives you one agent “brain” (shared workspace + memory), but two execution postures:
+
+- **DMs**: full tools (host)
+- **Groups**: sandbox + restricted tools (Docker)
+
+> If you need truly separate workspaces/personas (“personal” and “public” must never mix), use a second agent + bindings. See [Multi-Agent Routing](/concepts/multi-agent).
+
+Example (DMs on host, groups sandboxed + messaging-only tools):
+
+```json5
+{
+  agents: {
+    defaults: {
+      sandbox: {
+        mode: "non-main", // groups/channels are non-main -> sandboxed
+        scope: "session", // strongest isolation (one container per group/channel)
+        workspaceAccess: "none",
+      },
+    },
+  },
+  tools: {
+    sandbox: {
+      tools: {
+        // If allow is non-empty, everything else is blocked (deny still wins).
+        allow: ["group:messaging", "group:sessions"],
+        deny: ["group:runtime", "group:fs", "group:ui", "nodes", "cron", "gateway"],
+      },
+    },
+  },
+}
+```
+
+Want “groups can only see folder X” instead of “no host access”? Keep `workspaceAccess: "none"` and mount only allowlisted paths into the sandbox:
+
+```json5
+{
+  agents: {
+    defaults: {
+      sandbox: {
+        mode: "non-main",
+        scope: "session",
+        workspaceAccess: "none",
+        docker: {
+          binds: [
+            // hostPath:containerPath:mode
+            "~/FriendsShared:/data:ro",
+          ],
+        },
+      },
+    },
+  },
+}
+```

+- Debugging why a tool is blocked: [Sandbox vs Tool Policy vs Elevated](/gateway/sandbox-vs-tool-policy-vs-elevated)
+- Bind mounts details: [Sandboxing](/gateway/sandboxing#custom-bind-mounts)
+
+## Display labels
+
+- UI labels use `displayName` when available, formatted as `<channel>:<token>`.
+- `#room` is reserved for rooms/channels; group chats use `g-<slug>` (lowercase, spaces -> `-`, keep `#@+._-`).
+
+## Group policy
+
+Control how group/room messages are handled per channel:
+
+```json5
+{
+  channels: {
+    whatsapp: {
+      groupPolicy: "disabled", // "open" | "disabled" | "allowlist"
+      groupAllowFrom: ["+15551234567"],
+    },
+    telegram: {
+      groupPolicy: "disabled",
+      groupAllowFrom: ["123456789"], // numeric Telegram user id (wizard can resolve @username)
+    },
+    signal: {
+      groupPolicy: "disabled",
+      groupAllowFrom: ["+15551234567"],
+    },
+    imessage: {
+      groupPolicy: "disabled",
+      groupAllowFrom: ["chat_id:123"],
+    },
+    msteams: {
+      groupPolicy: "disabled",
+      groupAllowFrom: ["user@org.com"],
+    },
+    discord: {
+      groupPolicy: "allowlist",
+      guilds: {
+        GUILD_ID: { channels: { help: { allow: true } } },
+      },
+    },
+    slack: {
+      groupPolicy: "allowlist",
+      channels: { "#general": { allow: true } },
+    },
+    matrix: {
+      groupPolicy: "allowlist",
+      groupAllowFrom: ["@owner:example.org"],
+      groups: {
+        "!roomId:example.org": { allow: true },
+        "#alias:example.org": { allow: true },
+      },
+    },
+  },
+}
+```
+
+| Policy        | Behavior                                                     |
+| ------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------ |
+| `"open"`      | Groups bypass allowlists; mention-gating still applies.      |
+| `"disabled"`  | Block all group messages entirely.                           |
+| `"allowlist"` | Only allow groups/rooms that match the configured allowlist. |
+
+Notes:
+
+- `groupPolicy` is separate from mention-gating (which requires @mentions).
+- WhatsApp/Telegram/Signal/iMessage/Microsoft Teams: use `groupAllowFrom` (fallback: explicit `allowFrom`).
+- Discord: allowlist uses `channels.discord.guilds.<id>.channels`.
+- Slack: allowlist uses `channels.slack.channels`.
+- Matrix: allowlist uses `channels.matrix.groups` (room IDs, aliases, or names). Use `channels.matrix.groupAllowFrom` to restrict senders; per-room `users` allowlists are also supported.
+- Group DMs are controlled separately (`channels.discord.dm.*`, `channels.slack.dm.*`).
+- Telegram allowlist can match user IDs (`"123456789"`, `"telegram:123456789"`, `"tg:123456789"`) or usernames (`"@alice"` or `"alice"`); prefixes are case-insensitive.
+- Default is `groupPolicy: "allowlist"`; if your group allowlist is empty, group messages are blocked.
+
+Quick mental model (evaluation order for group messages):
+
+1. `groupPolicy` (open/disabled/allowlist)
+2. group allowlists (`*.groups`, `*.groupAllowFrom`, channel-specific allowlist)
+3. mention gating (`requireMention`, `/activation`)
+
+## Mention gating (default)
+
+Group messages require a mention unless overridden per group. Defaults live per subsystem under `*.groups."*"`.
+
+Replying to a bot message counts as an implicit mention (when the channel supports reply metadata). This applies to Telegram, WhatsApp, Slack, Discord, and Microsoft Teams.
+
+```json5
+{
+  channels: {
+    whatsapp: {
+      groups: {
+        "*": { requireMention: true },
+        "123@g.us": { requireMention: false },
+      },
+    },
+    telegram: {
+      groups: {
+        "*": { requireMention: true },
+        "123456789": { requireMention: false },
+      },
+    },
+    imessage: {
+      groups: {
+        "*": { requireMention: true },
+        "123": { requireMention: false },
+      },
+    },
+  },
+  agents: {
+    list: [
+      {
+        id: "main",
+        groupChat: {
+          mentionPatterns: ["@openclaw", "openclaw", "\\+15555550123"],
+          historyLimit: 50,
+        },
+      },
+    ],
+  },
+}
+```
+
+Notes:
+
+- `mentionPatterns` are case-insensitive regexes.
+- Surfaces that provide explicit mentions still pass; patterns are a fallback.
+- Per-agent override: `agents.list[].groupChat.mentionPatterns` (useful when multiple agents share a group).
+- Mention gating is only enforced when mention detection is possible (native mentions or `mentionPatterns` are configured).
+- Discord defaults live in `channels.discord.guilds."*"` (overridable per guild/channel).
+- Group history context is wrapped uniformly across channels and is **pending-only** (messages skipped due to mention gating); use `messages.groupChat.historyLimit` for the global default and `channels.<channel>.historyLimit` (or `channels.<channel>.accounts.*.historyLimit`) for overrides. Set `0` to disable.
+
+## Group/channel tool restrictions (optional)
+
+Some channel configs support restricting which tools are available **inside a specific group/room/channel**.
+
+- `tools`: allow/deny tools for the whole group.
+- `toolsBySender`: per-sender overrides within the group (keys are sender IDs/usernames/emails/phone numbers depending on the channel). Use `"*"` as a wildcard.
+
+Resolution order (most specific wins):
+
+1. group/channel `toolsBySender` match
+2. group/channel `tools`
+3. default (`"*"`) `toolsBySender` match
+4. default (`"*"`) `tools`
+
+Example (Telegram):
+
+```json5
+{
+  channels: {
+    telegram: {
+      groups: {
+        "*": { tools: { deny: ["exec"] } },
+        "-1001234567890": {
+          tools: { deny: ["exec", "read", "write"] },
+          toolsBySender: {
+            "123456789": { alsoAllow: ["exec"] },
+          },
+        },
+      },
+    },
+  },
+}
+```
+
+Notes:
+
+- Group/channel tool restrictions are applied in addition to global/agent tool policy (deny still wins).
+- Some channels use different nesting for rooms/channels (e.g., Discord `guilds.*.channels.*`, Slack `channels.*`, MS Teams `teams.*.channels.*`).
+
+## Group allowlists
+
+When `channels.whatsapp.groups`, `channels.telegram.groups`, or `channels.imessage.groups` is configured, the keys act as a group allowlist. Use `"*"` to allow all groups while still setting default mention behavior.
+
+Common intents (copy/paste):
+
+1. Disable all group replies
+
+```json5
+{
+  channels: { whatsapp: { groupPolicy: "disabled" } },
+}
+```
+
+2. Allow only specific groups (WhatsApp)
+
+```json5
+{
+  channels: {
+    whatsapp: {
+      groups: {
+        "123@g.us": { requireMention: true },
+        "456@g.us": { requireMention: false },
+      },
+    },
+  },
+}
+```
+
+3. Allow all groups but require mention (explicit)
+
+```json5
+{
+  channels: {
+    whatsapp: {
+      groups: { "*": { requireMention: true } },
+    },
+  },
+}
+```
+
+4. Only the owner can trigger in groups (WhatsApp)
+
+```json5
+{
+  channels: {
+    whatsapp: {
+      groupPolicy: "allowlist",
+      groupAllowFrom: ["+15551234567"],
+      groups: { "*": { requireMention: true } },
+    },
+  },
+}
+```
+
+## Activation (owner-only)
+
+Group owners can toggle per-group activation:
+
+- `/activation mention`
+- `/activation always`
+
+Owner is determined by `channels.whatsapp.allowFrom` (or the bot’s self E.164 when unset). Send the command as a standalone message. Other surfaces currently ignore `/activation`.
+
+## Context fields
+
+Group inbound payloads set:
+
+- `ChatType=group`
+- `GroupSubject` (if known)
+- `GroupMembers` (if known)
+- `WasMentioned` (mention gating result)
+- Telegram forum topics also include `MessageThreadId` and `IsForum`.
+
+The agent system prompt includes a group intro on the first turn of a new group session. It reminds the model to respond like a human, avoid Markdown tables, and avoid typing literal `\n` sequences.
+
+## iMessage specifics
+
+- Prefer `chat_id:<id>` when routing or allowlisting.
+- List chats: `imsg chats --limit 20`.
+- Group replies always go back to the same `chat_id`.
+
+## WhatsApp specifics
+
+See [Group messages](/channels/group-messages) for WhatsApp-only behavior (history injection, mention handling details).

-## Setup (fast path)
+      <Step title="Approve first DM pairing (default dmPolicy)">
 
-1. Ensure Messages is signed in on this Mac.
-2. Configure iMessage and start the gateway.
-
-### Dedicated bot macOS user (for isolated identity)
-
-If you want the bot to send from a **separate iMessage identity** (and keep your personal Messages clean), use a dedicated Apple ID + a dedicated macOS user.
+```bash
+openclaw pairing list imessage
+openclaw pairing approve imessage <CODE>
+```
 
-1. Create a dedicated Apple ID (example: `my-cool-bot@icloud.com`).
-   - Apple may require a phone number for verification / 2FA.
-2. Create a macOS user (example: `openclawhome`) and sign into it.
-3. Open Messages in that macOS user and sign into iMessage using the bot Apple ID.
-4. Enable Remote Login (System Settings → General → Sharing → Remote Login).
-5. Install `imsg`:
-   - `brew install steipete/tap/imsg`
-6. Set up SSH so `ssh <bot-macos-user>@localhost true` works without a password.
-7. Point `channels.imessage.accounts.bot.cliPath` at an SSH wrapper that runs `imsg` as the bot user.
+        Pairing requests expire after 1 hour.
+      </Step>
+    </Steps>
 
-First-run note: sending/receiving may require GUI approvals (Automation + Full Disk Access) in the _bot macOS user_. If `imsg rpc` looks stuck or exits, log into that user (Screen Sharing helps), run a one-time `imsg chats --limit 1` / `imsg send ...`, approve prompts, then retry.
+  </Tab>
 
-Example wrapper (`chmod +x`). Replace `<bot-macos-user>` with your actual macOS username:
+  <Tab title="Remote Mac over SSH">
+    OpenClaw only requires a stdio-compatible `cliPath`, so you can point `cliPath` at a wrapper script that SSHes to a remote Mac and runs `imsg`.
 
 ```bash
 #!/usr/bin/env bash
-set -euo pipefail
-
-# Run an interactive SSH once first to accept host keys:
-#   ssh <bot-macos-user>@localhost true
-exec /usr/bin/ssh -o BatchMode=yes -o ConnectTimeout=5 -T <bot-macos-user>@localhost \
-  "/usr/local/bin/imsg" "$@"
+exec ssh -T gateway-host imsg "$@"
 ```
 
-Example config:
+    Recommended config when attachments are enabled:
 
 ```json5
 {
   channels: {
     imessage: {
       enabled: true,
-      accounts: {
-        bot: {
-          name: "Bot",
-          enabled: true,
-          cliPath: "/path/to/imsg-bot",
-          dbPath: "/Users/<bot-macos-user>/Library/Messages/chat.db",
-        },
-      },
+      cliPath: "~/.openclaw/scripts/imsg-ssh",
+      remoteHost: "user@gateway-host", // used for SCP attachment fetches
+      includeAttachments: true,
     },
   },
 }
 ```
 
-For single-account setups, use flat options (`channels.imessage.cliPath`, `channels.imessage.dbPath`) instead of the `accounts` map.
+    If `remoteHost` is not set, OpenClaw attempts to auto-detect it by parsing the SSH wrapper script.
 
-### Remote/SSH variant (optional)
+  </Tab>
+</Tabs>
 
-If you want iMessage on another Mac, set `channels.imessage.cliPath` to a wrapper that runs `imsg` on the remote macOS host over SSH. OpenClaw only needs stdio.
+## Requirements and permissions (macOS)
 
-Example wrapper:
+- Messages must be signed in on the Mac running `imsg`.
+- Full Disk Access is required for the process context running OpenClaw/`imsg` (Messages DB access).
+- Automation permission is required to send messages through Messages.app.
+
+<Tip>
+Permissions are granted per process context. If gateway runs headless (LaunchAgent/SSH), run a one-time interactive command in that same context to trigger prompts:
 
 ```bash
-#!/usr/bin/env bash
-exec ssh -T gateway-host imsg "$@"
+imsg chats --limit 1
+# or
+imsg send <handle> "test"
 ```
 
-**Remote attachments:** When `cliPath` points to a remote host via SSH, attachment paths in the Messages database reference files on the remote machine. OpenClaw can automatically fetch these over SCP by setting `channels.imessage.remoteHost`:
+</Tip>
 
-```json5
-{
-  channels: {
-    imessage: {
-      cliPath: "~/imsg-ssh", // SSH wrapper to remote Mac
-      remoteHost: "user@gateway-host", // for SCP file transfer
-      includeAttachments: true,
-    },
-  },
-}
-```
+## Access control and routing
 
-If `remoteHost` is not set, OpenClaw attempts to auto-detect it by parsing the SSH command in your wrapper script. Explicit configuration is recommended for reliability.

+
+    Typical flow:
+
+    1. Create/sign in a dedicated macOS user.
+    2. Sign into Messages with the bot Apple ID in that user.
+    3. Install `imsg` in that user.
+    4. Create SSH wrapper so OpenClaw can run `imsg` in that user context.
+    5. Point `channels.imessage.accounts.<id>.cliPath` and `.dbPath` to that user profile.

-## How it works (behavior)
+  <Accordion title="Addressing formats">
+    Preferred explicit targets:
 
-- `imsg` streams message events; the gateway normalizes them into the shared channel envelope.
-- Replies always route back to the same chat id or handle.
+    - `chat_id:123` (recommended for stable routing)
+    - `chat_guid:...`
+    - `chat_identifier:...`
 
-## Group-ish threads (`is_group=false`)
+    Handle targets are also supported:
 
-Some iMessage threads can have multiple participants but still arrive with `is_group=false` depending on how Messages stores the chat identifier.
+    - `imessage:+1555...`
+    - `sms:+1555...`
+    - `user@example.com`
 
-If you explicitly configure a `chat_id` under `channels.imessage.groups`, OpenClaw treats that thread as a “group” for:
+```bash
+imsg chats --limit 20
+```
+
+  </Accordion>
+</AccordionGroup>
+
+## Config writes
 
-- session isolation (separate `agent:<agentId>:imessage:group:<chat_id>` session key)
-- group allowlisting / mention gating behavior
+iMessage allows channel-initiated config writes by default (for `/config set|unset` when `commands.config: true`).
 
-Example:
+Disable:
 
 ```json5
 {
   channels: {
     imessage: {
-      groupPolicy: "allowlist",
-      groupAllowFrom: ["+15555550123"],
-      groups: {
-        "42": { requireMention: false },
-      },
+      configWrites: false,
     },
   },
 }
 ```

+title: IRC
+description: Connect OpenClaw to IRC channels and direct messages.
+---
+
+Use IRC when you want OpenClaw in classic channels (`#room`) and direct messages.
+IRC ships as an extension plugin, but it is configured in the main config under `channels.irc`.
+
+## Quick start
+
+1. Enable IRC config in `~/.openclaw/openclaw.json`.
+2. Set at least:
+
+```json
+{
+  "channels": {
+    "irc": {
+      "enabled": true,
+      "host": "irc.libera.chat",
+      "port": 6697,
+      "tls": true,
+      "nick": "openclaw-bot",
+      "channels": ["#openclaw"]
+    }
+  }
+}
+```
+
+3. Start/restart gateway:
+
+```bash
+openclaw gateway run
+```
+
+## Security defaults
+
+- `channels.irc.dmPolicy` defaults to `"pairing"`.
+- `channels.irc.groupPolicy` defaults to `"allowlist"`.
+- With `groupPolicy="allowlist"`, set `channels.irc.groups` to define allowed channels.
+- Use TLS (`channels.irc.tls=true`) unless you intentionally accept plaintext transport.
+
+## Access control
+
+There are two separate “gates” for IRC channels:
+
+1. **Channel access** (`groupPolicy` + `groups`): whether the bot accepts messages from a channel at all.
+2. **Sender access** (`groupAllowFrom` / per-channel `groups["#channel"].allowFrom`): who is allowed to trigger the bot inside that channel.
+
+Config keys:
+
+- DM allowlist (DM sender access): `channels.irc.allowFrom`
+- Group sender allowlist (channel sender access): `channels.irc.groupAllowFrom`
+- Per-channel controls (channel + sender + mention rules): `channels.irc.groups["#channel"]`
+- `channels.irc.groupPolicy="open"` allows unconfigured channels (**still mention-gated by default**)
+
+Allowlist entries can use nick or `nick!user@host` forms.
+
+### Common gotcha: `allowFrom` is for DMs, not channels
+
+If you see logs like:
+
+- `irc: drop group sender alice!ident@host (policy=allowlist)`
+
+…it means the sender wasn’t allowed for **group/channel** messages. Fix it by either:
+
+- setting `channels.irc.groupAllowFrom` (global for all channels), or
+- setting per-channel sender allowlists: `channels.irc.groups["#channel"].allowFrom`
+
+Example (allow anyone in `#tuirc-dev` to talk to the bot):
+
+```json5
+{
+  channels: {
+    irc: {
+      groupPolicy: "allowlist",
+      groups: {
+        "#tuirc-dev": { allowFrom: ["*"] },
+      },
+    },
+  },
+}
+```
+
+## Reply triggering (mentions)
+
+Even if a channel is allowed (via `groupPolicy` + `groups`) and the sender is allowed, OpenClaw defaults to **mention-gating** in group contexts.
+
+That means you may see logs like `drop channel … (missing-mention)` unless the message includes a mention pattern that matches the bot.
+
+To make the bot reply in an IRC channel **without needing a mention**, disable mention gating for that channel:
+
+```json5
+{
+  channels: {
+    irc: {
+      groupPolicy: "allowlist",
+      groups: {
+        "#tuirc-dev": {
+          requireMention: false,
+          allowFrom: ["*"],
+        },
+      },
+    },
+  },
+}
+```
+
+Or to allow **all** IRC channels (no per-channel allowlist) and still reply without mentions:
+
+```json5
+{
+  channels: {
+    irc: {
+      groupPolicy: "open",
+      groups: {
+        "*": { requireMention: false, allowFrom: ["*"] },
+      },
+    },
+  },
+}
+```
+
+## Security note (recommended for public channels)
+
+If you allow `allowFrom: ["*"]` in a public channel, anyone can prompt the bot.
+To reduce risk, restrict tools for that channel.
+
+### Same tools for everyone in the channel
+
+```json5
+{
+  channels: {
+    irc: {
+      groups: {
+        "#tuirc-dev": {
+          allowFrom: ["*"],
+          tools: {
+            deny: ["group:runtime", "group:fs", "gateway", "nodes", "cron", "browser"],
+          },
+        },
+      },
+    },
+  },
+}
+```
+
+### Different tools per sender (owner gets more power)
+
+Use `toolsBySender` to apply a stricter policy to `"*"` and a looser one to your nick:
+
+```json5
+{
+  channels: {
+    irc: {
+      groups: {
+        "#tuirc-dev": {
+          allowFrom: ["*"],
+          toolsBySender: {
+            "*": {
+              deny: ["group:runtime", "group:fs", "gateway", "nodes", "cron", "browser"],
+            },
+            eigen: {
+              deny: ["gateway", "nodes", "cron"],
+            },
+          },
+        },
+      },
+    },
+  },
+}
+```
+
+Notes:
+
+- `toolsBySender` keys can be a nick (e.g. `"eigen"`) or a full hostmask (`"eigen!~eigen@174.127.248.171"`) for stronger identity matching.
+- The first matching sender policy wins; `"*"` is the wildcard fallback.
+
+For more on group access vs mention-gating (and how they interact), see: [/channels/groups](/channels/groups).
+
+## NickServ
+
+To identify with NickServ after connect:
+
+```json
+{
+  "channels": {
+    "irc": {
+      "nickserv": {
+        "enabled": true,
+        "service": "NickServ",
+        "password": "your-nickserv-password"
+      }
+    }
+  }
+}
+```
+
+Optional one-time registration on connect:
+
+```json
+{
+  "channels": {
+    "irc": {
+      "nickserv": {
+        "register": true,
+        "registerEmail": "bot@example.com"
+      }
+    }
+  }
+}
+```
+
+Disable `register` after the nick is registered to avoid repeated REGISTER attempts.
+
+## Environment variables
+
+Default account supports:
+
+- `IRC_HOST`
+- `IRC_PORT`
+- `IRC_TLS`
+- `IRC_NICK`
+- `IRC_USERNAME`
+- `IRC_REALNAME`
+- `IRC_PASSWORD`
+- `IRC_CHANNELS` (comma-separated)
+- `IRC_NICKSERV_PASSWORD`
+- `IRC_NICKSERV_REGISTER_EMAIL`
+
+## Troubleshooting
+
+- If the bot connects but never replies in channels, verify `channels.irc.groups` **and** whether mention-gating is dropping messages (`missing-mention`). If you want it to reply without pings, set `requireMention:false` for the channel.
+- If login fails, verify nick availability and server password.
+- If TLS fails on a custom network, verify host/port and certificate setup.

+summary: "Pairing overview: approve who can DM you + which nodes can join"
+read_when:
+  - Setting up DM access control
+  - Pairing a new iOS/Android node
+  - Reviewing OpenClaw security posture
+title: "Pairing"
+---
+
+# Pairing
+
+“Pairing” is OpenClaw’s explicit **owner approval** step.
+It is used in two places:
+
+1. **DM pairing** (who is allowed to talk to the bot)
+2. **Node pairing** (which devices/nodes are allowed to join the gateway network)
+
+Security context: [Security](/gateway/security)
+
+## 1) DM pairing (inbound chat access)
+
+When a channel is configured with DM policy `pairing`, unknown senders get a short code and their message is **not processed** until you approve.
+
+Default DM policies are documented in: [Security](/gateway/security)
+
+Pairing codes:
+
+- 8 characters, uppercase, no ambiguous chars (`0O1I`).
+- **Expire after 1 hour**. The bot only sends the pairing message when a new request is created (roughly once per hour per sender).
+- Pending DM pairing requests are capped at **3 per channel** by default; additional requests are ignored until one expires or is approved.
+
+### Approve a sender
+
+```bash
+openclaw pairing list telegram
+openclaw pairing approve telegram <CODE>
+```
+
+Supported channels: `telegram`, `whatsapp`, `signal`, `imessage`, `discord`, `slack`, `feishu`.
+
+### Where the state lives
+
+Stored under `~/.openclaw/credentials/`:
+
+- Pending requests: `<channel>-pairing.json`
+- Approved allowlist store: `<channel>-allowFrom.json`
+
+Treat these as sensitive (they gate access to your assistant).
+
+## 2) Node device pairing (iOS/Android/macOS/headless nodes)
+
+Nodes connect to the Gateway as **devices** with `role: node`. The Gateway
+creates a device pairing request that must be approved.
+
+### Pair via Telegram (recommended for iOS)
+
+If you use the `device-pair` plugin, you can do first-time device pairing entirely from Telegram:
+
+1. In Telegram, message your bot: `/pair`
+2. The bot replies with two messages: an instruction message and a separate **setup code** message (easy to copy/paste in Telegram).
+3. On your phone, open the OpenClaw iOS app → Settings → Gateway.
+4. Paste the setup code and connect.
+5. Back in Telegram: `/pair approve`
+
+The setup code is a base64-encoded JSON payload that contains:
+
+- `url`: the Gateway WebSocket URL (`ws://...` or `wss://...`)
+- `token`: a short-lived pairing token
+
+Treat the setup code like a password while it is valid.
+
+### Approve a node device
+
+```bash
+openclaw devices list
+openclaw devices approve <requestId>
+openclaw devices reject <requestId>
+```
+
+### Node pairing state storage
+
+Stored under `~/.openclaw/devices/`:
+
+- `pending.json` (short-lived; pending requests expire)
+- `paired.json` (paired devices + tokens)
+
+### Notes
+
+- The legacy `node.pair.*` API (CLI: `openclaw nodes pending/approve`) is a
+  separate gateway-owned pairing store. WS nodes still require device pairing.

+
+3. Register and verify the number:

+
+If captcha is required:

+2. Complete captcha, copy the `signalcaptcha://...` link target from "Open Signal".
+3. Run from the same external IP as the browser session when possible.
+4. Run registration again immediately (captcha tokens expire quickly):
+
+```bash
+signal-cli -a +<BOT_PHONE_NUMBER> register --captcha '<SIGNALCAPTCHA_URL>'
+signal-cli -a +<BOT_PHONE_NUMBER> verify <VERIFICATION_CODE>
+```
+
+4. Configure OpenClaw, restart gateway, verify channel:
+
+```bash
+# If you run the gateway as a user systemd service:
+systemctl --user restart openclaw-gateway
+
+# Then verify:
+openclaw doctor
+openclaw channels status --probe
+```
+
+5. Pair your DM sender:
+   - Send any message to the bot number.
+   - Approve code on the server: `openclaw pairing approve signal <PAIRING_CODE>`.
+   - Save the bot number as a contact on your phone to avoid "Unknown contact".
+
+Important: registering a phone number account with `signal-cli` can de-authenticate the main Signal app session for that number. Prefer a dedicated bot number, or use QR link mode if you need to keep your existing phone app setup.

-## HTTP mode (Events API)
+## Token model
 
-Use HTTP webhook mode when your Gateway is reachable by Slack over HTTPS (typical for server deployments).
-HTTP mode uses the Events API + Interactivity + Slash Commands with a shared request URL.
+- `botToken` + `appToken` are required for Socket Mode.
+- HTTP mode requires `botToken` + `signingSecret`.
+- Config tokens override env fallback.
+- `SLACK_BOT_TOKEN` / `SLACK_APP_TOKEN` env fallback applies only to the default account.
+- `userToken` (`xoxp-...`) is config-only (no env fallback) and defaults to read-only behavior (`userTokenReadOnly: true`).
+- Optional: add `chat:write.customize` if you want outgoing messages to use the active agent identity (custom `username` and icon). `icon_emoji` uses `:emoji_name:` syntax.
 
-### Setup
+<Tip>
+For actions/directory reads, user token can be preferred when configured. For writes, bot token remains preferred; user-token writes are only allowed when `userTokenReadOnly: false` and bot token is unavailable.
+</Tip>
 
-1. Create a Slack app and **disable Socket Mode** (optional if you only use HTTP).
-2. **Basic Information** → copy the **Signing Secret**.
-3. **OAuth & Permissions** → install the app and copy the **Bot User OAuth Token** (`xoxb-...`).
-4. **Event Subscriptions** → enable events and set the **Request URL** to your gateway webhook path (default `/slack/events`).
-5. **Interactivity & Shortcuts** → enable and set the same **Request URL**.
-6. **Slash Commands** → set the same **Request URL** for your command(s).

+## Commands and slash behavior
+
+- Native command auto-mode is **off** for Slack (`commands.native: "auto"` does not enable Slack native commands).
+- Enable native Slack command handlers with `channels.slack.commands.native: true` (or global `commands.native: true`).
+- When native commands are enabled, register matching slash commands in Slack (`/<command>` names).
+- If native commands are not enabled, you can run a single configured slash command via `channels.slack.slashCommand`.
+
+Default slash command settings:
+
+- `enabled: false`
+- `name: "openclaw"`
+- `sessionPrefix: "slack:slash"`
+- `ephemeral: true`
+
+Slash sessions use isolated keys:
+
+- `agent:<agentId>:slack:slash:<userId>`
+
+and still route command execution against the target conversation session (`CommandTargetSessionKey`).
+
+## Threading, sessions, and reply tags
+
+- DMs route as `direct`; channels as `channel`; MPIMs as `group`.
+- With default `session.dmScope=main`, Slack DMs collapse to agent main session.
+- Channel sessions: `agent:<agentId>:slack:channel:<channelId>`.
+- Thread replies can create thread session suffixes (`:thread:<threadTs>`) when applicable.
+- `channels.slack.thread.historyScope` default is `thread`; `thread.inheritParent` default is `false`.
+- `channels.slack.thread.initialHistoryLimit` controls how many existing thread messages are fetched when a new thread session starts (default `20`; set `0` to disable).
+
+Reply threading controls:
+
+- `channels.slack.replyToMode`: `off|first|all` (default `off`)
+- `channels.slack.replyToModeByChatType`: per `direct|group|channel`
+- legacy fallback for direct chats: `channels.slack.dm.replyToMode`
+
+Manual reply tags are supported:
+
+- `[[reply_to_current]]`
+- `[[reply_to:<id>]]`
+
+Note: `replyToMode="off"` disables implicit reply threading. Explicit `[[reply_to_*]]` tags are still honored.

+## Media, chunking, and delivery
 
-Multi-account HTTP mode: set `channels.slack.accounts.<id>.mode = "http"` and provide a unique
-`webhookPath` per account so each Slack app can point to its own URL.
+<AccordionGroup>
+  <Accordion title="Inbound attachments">
+    Slack file attachments are downloaded from Slack-hosted private URLs (token-authenticated request flow) and written to the media store when fetch succeeds and size limits permit.
 
-### Manifest (optional)
+    Runtime inbound size cap defaults to `20MB` unless overridden by `channels.slack.mediaMaxMb`.
 
-Use this Slack app manifest to create the app quickly (adjust the name/command if you want). Include the

+  </Accordion>
+
+  <Accordion title="Outbound text and files">
+    - text chunks use `channels.slack.textChunkLimit` (default 4000)
+    - `channels.slack.chunkMode="newline"` enables paragraph-first splitting
+    - file sends use Slack upload APIs and can include thread replies (`thread_ts`)
+    - outbound media cap follows `channels.slack.mediaMaxMb` when configured; otherwise channel sends use MIME-kind defaults from media pipeline
+  </Accordion>
+
+  <Accordion title="Delivery targets">
+    Preferred explicit targets:
+
+    - `user:<id>` for DMs
+    - `channel:<id>` for channels

+## Actions and gates
+
+Slack actions are controlled by `channels.slack.actions.*`.
+
+Available action groups in current Slack tooling:
+
+| Group      | Default |
+| ---------- | ------- |
+| messages   | enabled |
+| reactions  | enabled |
+| pins       | enabled |
+| memberInfo | enabled |
+| emojiList  | enabled |
+
+## Events and operational behavior
+
+- Message edits/deletes/thread broadcasts are mapped into system events.
+- Reaction add/remove events are mapped into system events.
+- Member join/leave, channel created/renamed, and pin add/remove events are mapped into system events.
+- `channel_id_changed` can migrate channel config keys when `configWrites` is enabled.
+- Channel topic/purpose metadata is treated as untrusted context and can be injected into routing context.
+
+## Ack reactions
+
+`ackReaction` sends an acknowledgement emoji while OpenClaw is processing an inbound message.
+
+Resolution order:
+
+- `channels.slack.accounts.<accountId>.ackReaction`
+- `channels.slack.ackReaction`
+- `messages.ackReaction`
+- agent identity emoji fallback (`agents.list[].identity.emoji`, else "👀")
+
+Notes:
+
+- Slack expects shortcodes (for example `"eyes"`).
+- Use `""` to disable the reaction for a channel or account.

-### Manual threading tags
-
-For fine-grained control, use these tags in agent responses:
-
-- `[[reply_to_current]]` — reply to the triggering message (start/continue thread).
-- `[[reply_to:<id>]]` — reply to a specific message id.
-
-## Sessions + routing
-
-- DMs share the `main` session (like WhatsApp/Telegram).
-- Channels map to `agent:<agentId>:slack:channel:<channelId>` sessions.
-- Slash commands use `agent:<agentId>:slack:slash:<userId>` sessions (prefix configurable via `channels.slack.slashCommand.sessionPrefix`).
-- If Slack doesn’t provide `channel_type`, OpenClaw infers it from the channel ID prefix (`D`, `C`, `G`) and defaults to `channel` to keep session keys stable.
-- Native command registration uses `commands.native` (global default `"auto"` → Slack off) and can be overridden per-workspace with `channels.slack.commands.native`. Text commands require standalone `/...` messages and can be disabled with `commands.text: false`. Slack slash commands are managed in the Slack app and are not removed automatically. Use `commands.useAccessGroups: false` to bypass access-group checks for commands.
-- Full command list + config: [Slash commands](/tools/slash-commands)
-
-## DM security (pairing)
-
-- Default: `channels.slack.dm.policy="pairing"` — unknown DM senders get a pairing code (expires after 1 hour).
-- Approve via: `openclaw pairing approve slack <code>`.
-- To allow anyone: set `channels.slack.dm.policy="open"` and `channels.slack.dm.allowFrom=["*"]`.
-- `channels.slack.dm.allowFrom` accepts user IDs, @handles, or emails (resolved at startup when tokens allow). The wizard accepts usernames and resolves them to ids during setup when tokens allow.
-
-## Group policy
-
-- `channels.slack.groupPolicy` controls channel handling (`open|disabled|allowlist`).
-- `allowlist` requires channels to be listed in `channels.slack.channels`.
-- If you only set `SLACK_BOT_TOKEN`/`SLACK_APP_TOKEN` and never create a `channels.slack` section,
-  the runtime defaults `groupPolicy` to `open`. Add `channels.slack.groupPolicy`,
-  `channels.defaults.groupPolicy`, or a channel allowlist to lock it down.
-- The configure wizard accepts `#channel` names and resolves them to IDs when possible
-  (public + private); if multiple matches exist, it prefers the active channel.
-- On startup, OpenClaw resolves channel/user names in allowlists to IDs (when tokens allow)
-  and logs the mapping; unresolved entries are kept as typed.
-- To allow **no channels**, set `channels.slack.groupPolicy: "disabled"` (or keep an empty allowlist).
-
-Channel options (`channels.slack.channels.<id>` or `channels.slack.channels.<name>`):
-
-- `allow`: allow/deny the channel when `groupPolicy="allowlist"`.
-- `requireMention`: mention gating for the channel.
-- `tools`: optional per-channel tool policy overrides (`allow`/`deny`/`alsoAllow`).
-- `toolsBySender`: optional per-sender tool policy overrides within the channel (keys are sender ids/@handles/emails; `"*"` wildcard supported).
-- `allowBots`: allow bot-authored messages in this channel (default: false).
-- `users`: optional per-channel user allowlist.
-- `skills`: skill filter (omit = all skills, empty = none).
-- `systemPrompt`: extra system prompt for the channel (combined with topic/purpose).
-- `enabled`: set `false` to disable the channel.

-## Security notes
-
-- Writes default to the bot token so state-changing actions stay scoped to the
-  app's bot permissions and identity.
-- Setting `userTokenReadOnly: false` allows the user token to be used for write
-  operations when a bot token is unavailable, which means actions run with the
-  installing user's access. Treat the user token as highly privileged and keep
-  action gates and allowlists tight.
-- If you enable user-token writes, make sure the user token includes the write
-  scopes you expect (`chat:write`, `reactions:write`, `pins:write`,
-  `files:write`) or those operations will fail.
-
-## Notes
-
-- Mention gating is controlled via `channels.slack.channels` (set `requireMention` to `true`); `agents.list[].groupChat.mentionPatterns` (or `messages.groupChat.mentionPatterns`) also count as mentions.
-- Multi-agent override: set per-agent patterns on `agents.list[].groupChat.mentionPatterns`.
-- Reaction notifications follow `channels.slack.reactionNotifications` (use `reactionAllowlist` with mode `allowlist`).
-- Bot-authored messages are ignored by default; enable via `channels.slack.allowBots` or `channels.slack.channels.<id>.allowBots`.
-- Warning: If you allow replies to other bots (`channels.slack.allowBots=true` or `channels.slack.channels.<id>.allowBots=true`), prevent bot-to-bot reply loops with `requireMention`, `channels.slack.channels.<id>.users` allowlists, and/or clear guardrails in `AGENTS.md` and `SOUL.md`.
-- For the Slack tool, reaction removal semantics are in [/tools/reactions](/tools/reactions).
-- Attachments are downloaded to the media store when permitted and under the size limit.

-## Token + privacy + permissions (Telegram side)
+  </Accordion>
 
-### Token creation (BotFather)
+  <Accordion title="Group permissions">
+    Admin status is controlled in Telegram group settings.
 
-- `/newbot` creates the bot and returns the token (keep it secret).
-- If a token leaks, revoke/regenerate it via @BotFather and update your config.
+    Admin bots receive all group messages, which is useful for always-on group behavior.
 
-### Group message visibility (Privacy Mode)

-### Group permissions (admin rights)
+## Access control and activation
 
-Admin status is set inside the group (Telegram UI). Admin bots always receive all
-group messages, so use admin if you need full visibility.
+<Tabs>
+  <Tab title="DM policy">
+    `channels.telegram.dmPolicy` controls direct message access:
 
-## How it works (behavior)
+    - `pairing` (default)
+    - `allowlist`
+    - `open` (requires `allowFrom` to include `"*"`)
+    - `disabled`
 
-- Inbound messages are normalized into the shared channel envelope with reply context and media placeholders.
-- Group replies require a mention by default (native @mention or `agents.list[].groupChat.mentionPatterns` / `messages.groupChat.mentionPatterns`).
-- Multi-agent override: set per-agent patterns on `agents.list[].groupChat.mentionPatterns`.
-- Replies always route back to the same Telegram chat.
-- Long-polling uses grammY runner with per-chat sequencing; overall concurrency is capped by `agents.defaults.maxConcurrent`.
-- Telegram Bot API does not support read receipts; there is no `sendReadReceipts` option.
+    `channels.telegram.allowFrom` accepts numeric Telegram user IDs. `telegram:` / `tg:` prefixes are accepted and normalized.
+    The onboarding wizard accepts `@username` input and resolves it to numeric IDs.
+    If you upgraded and your config contains `@username` allowlist entries, run `openclaw doctor --fix` to resolve them (best-effort; requires a Telegram bot token).
 
-## Draft streaming
+    ### Finding your Telegram user ID
 
-OpenClaw can stream partial replies in Telegram DMs using `sendMessageDraft`.
+    Safer (no third-party bot):
 
-Requirements:
+    1. DM your bot.
+    2. Run `openclaw logs --follow`.
+    3. Read `from.id`.
 
-- Threaded Mode enabled for the bot in @BotFather (forum topic mode).
-- Private chat threads only (Telegram includes `message_thread_id` on inbound messages).
-- `channels.telegram.streamMode` not set to `"off"` (default: `"partial"`, `"block"` enables chunked draft updates).
+    Official Bot API method:
 
-Draft streaming is DM-only; Telegram does not support it in groups or channels.
+```bash
+curl "https://api.telegram.org/bot<bot_token>/getUpdates"
+```
 
-## Formatting (Telegram HTML)
+    Third-party method (less private): `@userinfobot` or `@getidsbot`.
 
-- Outbound Telegram text uses `parse_mode: "HTML"` (Telegram’s supported tag subset).
-- Markdown-ish input is rendered into **Telegram-safe HTML** (bold/italic/strike/code/links); block elements are flattened to text with newlines/bullets.
-- Raw HTML from models is escaped to avoid Telegram parse errors.
-- If Telegram rejects the HTML payload, OpenClaw retries the same message as plain text.
+  </Tab>
 
-## Commands (native + custom)
+  <Tab title="Group policy and allowlists">
+    There are two independent controls:
 
-OpenClaw registers native commands (like `/status`, `/reset`, `/model`) with Telegram’s bot menu on startup.
-You can add custom commands to the menu via config:
+    1. **Which groups are allowed** (`channels.telegram.groups`)
+       - no `groups` config: all groups allowed
+       - `groups` configured: acts as allowlist (explicit IDs or `"*"`)
+
+    2. **Which senders are allowed in groups** (`channels.telegram.groupPolicy`)
+       - `open`
+       - `allowlist` (default)
+       - `disabled`
+
+    `groupAllowFrom` is used for group sender filtering. If not set, Telegram falls back to `allowFrom`.
+    `groupAllowFrom` entries must be numeric Telegram user IDs.
+
+    Example: allow any member in one specific group:
 
 ```json5
 {
   channels: {
     telegram: {
-      customCommands: [
-        { command: "backup", description: "Git backup" },
-        { command: "generate", description: "Create an image" },
-      ],
+      groups: {
+        "-1001234567890": {
+          groupPolicy: "open",
+          requireMention: false,
+        },
+      },
     },
   },
 }
 ```
 
-## Troubleshooting
-
-- `setMyCommands failed` in logs usually means outbound HTTPS/DNS is blocked to `api.telegram.org`.
-- If you see `sendMessage` or `sendChatAction` failures, check IPv6 routing and DNS.
-
-More help: [Channel troubleshooting](/channels/troubleshooting).
+  </Tab>
 
-Notes:
+  <Tab title="Mention behavior">
+    Group replies require mention by default.
 
-- Custom commands are **menu entries only**; OpenClaw does not implement them unless you handle them elsewhere.
-- Command names are normalized (leading `/` stripped, lowercased) and must match `a-z`, `0-9`, `_` (1–32 chars).
-- Custom commands **cannot override native commands**. Conflicts are ignored and logged.
-- If `commands.native` is disabled, only custom commands are registered (or cleared if none).
+    Mention can come from:
 
-## Limits
+    - native `@botusername` mention, or
+    - mention patterns in:
+      - `agents.list[].groupChat.mentionPatterns`
+      - `messages.groupChat.mentionPatterns`
 
-- Outbound text is chunked to `channels.telegram.textChunkLimit` (default 4000).
-- Optional newline chunking: set `channels.telegram.chunkMode="newline"` to split on blank lines (paragraph boundaries) before length chunking.
-- Media downloads/uploads are capped by `channels.telegram.mediaMaxMb` (default 5).
-- Telegram Bot API requests time out after `channels.telegram.timeoutSeconds` (default 500 via grammY). Set lower to avoid long hangs.
-- Group history context uses `channels.telegram.historyLimit` (or `channels.telegram.accounts.*.historyLimit`), falling back to `messages.groupChat.historyLimit`. Set `0` to disable (default 50).
-- DM history can be limited with `channels.telegram.dmHistoryLimit` (user turns). Per-user overrides: `channels.telegram.dms["<user_id>"].historyLimit`.
+    Session-level command toggles:
 
-## Group activation modes
+    - `/activation always`
+    - `/activation mention`
 
-By default, the bot only responds to mentions in groups (`@botname` or patterns in `agents.list[].groupChat.mentionPatterns`). To change this behavior:
+    These update session state only. Use config for persistence.
 
-### Via config (recommended)
+    Persistent config example:
 
 ```json5
 {
   channels: {
     telegram: {
       groups: {
-        "-1001234567890": { requireMention: false }, // always respond in this group
+        "*": { requireMention: false },
       },
     },
   },
 }
 ```
 
-**Important:** Setting `channels.telegram.groups` creates an **allowlist** - only listed groups (or `"*"`) will be accepted.
-Forum topics inherit their parent group config (allowFrom, requireMention, skills, prompts) unless you add per-topic overrides under `channels.telegram.groups.<groupId>.topics.<topicId>`.
+    Getting the group chat ID:
 
-To allow all groups with always-respond:
+    - forward a group message to `@userinfobot` / `@getidsbot`
+    - or read `chat.id` from `openclaw logs --follow`
+    - or inspect Bot API `getUpdates`
 
-```json5
-{
-  channels: {
-    telegram: {
-      groups: {
-        "*": { requireMention: false }, // all groups, always respond
-      },
-    },
-  },
-}
-```
+  </Tab>
+</Tabs>
 
-To keep mention-only for all groups (default behavior):
+## Runtime behavior
 
-```json5
-{
-  channels: {
-    telegram: {
-      groups: {
-        "*": { requireMention: true }, // or omit groups entirely
-      },
-    },
-  },
-}
-```
+- Telegram is owned by the gateway process.
+- Routing is deterministic: Telegram inbound replies back to Telegram (the model does not pick channels).
+- Inbound messages normalize into the shared channel envelope with reply metadata and media placeholders.
+- Group sessions are isolated by group ID. Forum topics append `:topic:<threadId>` to keep topics isolated.
+- DM messages can carry `message_thread_id`; OpenClaw routes them with thread-aware session keys and preserves thread ID for replies.
+- Long polling uses grammY runner with per-chat/per-thread sequencing. Overall runner sink concurrency uses `agents.defaults.maxConcurrent`.
+- Telegram Bot API has no read-receipt support (`sendReadReceipts` does not apply).

+## Feature reference
 
-Send in the group:
+<AccordionGroup>
+  <Accordion title="Live stream preview (message edits)">
+    OpenClaw can stream partial replies by sending a temporary Telegram message and editing it as text arrives.
 
-- `/activation always` - respond to all messages
-- `/activation mention` - require mentions (default)
+    Requirement:
 
-**Note:** Commands update session state only. For persistent behavior across restarts, use config.
+    - `channels.telegram.streamMode` is not `"off"` (default: `"partial"`)
 
-### Getting the group chat ID
+    Modes:
 
-Forward any message from the group to `@userinfobot` or `@getidsbot` on Telegram to see the chat ID (negative number like `-1001234567890`).
+    - `off`: no live preview
+    - `partial`: frequent preview updates from partial text
+    - `block`: chunked preview updates using `channels.telegram.draftChunk`
 
-**Tip:** For your own user ID, DM the bot and it will reply with your user ID (pairing message), or use `/whoami` once commands are enabled.
+    `draftChunk` defaults for `streamMode: "block"`:
 
-**Privacy note:** `@userinfobot` is a third-party bot. If you prefer, add the bot to the group, send a message, and use `openclaw logs --follow` to read `chat.id`, or use the Bot API `getUpdates`.
+    - `minChars: 200`
+    - `maxChars: 800`
+    - `breakPreference: "paragraph"`
 
-## Config writes
+    `maxChars` is clamped by `channels.telegram.textChunkLimit`.
 
-By default, Telegram is allowed to write config updates triggered by channel events or `/config set|unset`.
+    This works in direct chats and groups/topics.
 
-This happens when:
+    For text-only replies, OpenClaw keeps the same preview message and performs a final edit in place (no second message).
 
-- A group is upgraded to a supergroup and Telegram emits `migrate_to_chat_id` (chat ID changes). OpenClaw can migrate `channels.telegram.groups` automatically.
-- You run `/config set` or `/config unset` in a Telegram chat (requires `commands.config: true`).
+    For complex replies (for example media payloads), OpenClaw falls back to normal final delivery and then cleans up the preview message.
 
-Disable with:
+    `streamMode` is separate from block streaming. When block streaming is explicitly enabled for Telegram, OpenClaw skips the preview stream to avoid double-streaming.
+
+    Telegram-only reasoning stream:
+
+    - `/reasoning stream` sends reasoning to the live preview while generating
+    - final answer is sent without reasoning text

+
+    ### Device pairing commands (`device-pair` plugin)
 
-Telegram forum topics include a `message_thread_id` per message. OpenClaw:
+    When the `device-pair` plugin is installed:
 
-- Appends `:topic:<threadId>` to the Telegram group session key so each topic is isolated.
-- Sends typing indicators and replies with `message_thread_id` so responses stay in the topic.
-- General topic (thread id `1`) is special: message sends omit `message_thread_id` (Telegram rejects it), but typing indicators still include it.
-- Exposes `MessageThreadId` + `IsForum` in template context for routing/templating.
-- Topic-specific configuration is available under `channels.telegram.groups.<chatId>.topics.<threadId>` (skills, allowlists, auto-reply, system prompts, disable).
-- Topic configs inherit group settings (requireMention, allowlists, skills, prompts, enabled) unless overridden per topic.
+    1. `/pair` generates setup code
+    2. paste code in iOS app
+    3. `/pair approve` approves latest pending request
 
-Private chats can include `message_thread_id` in some edge cases. OpenClaw keeps the DM session key unchanged, but still uses the thread id for replies/draft streaming when it is present.

-## Long-polling vs webhook
+    Topic inheritance: topic entries inherit group settings unless overridden (`requireMention`, `allowFrom`, `skills`, `systemPrompt`, `enabled`, `groupPolicy`).
 
-- Default: long-polling (no public URL required).
-- Webhook mode: set `channels.telegram.webhookUrl` and `channels.telegram.webhookSecret` (optionally `channels.telegram.webhookPath`).
-  - The local listener binds to `0.0.0.0:8787` and serves `POST /telegram-webhook` by default.

-## Stickers
-
-OpenClaw supports receiving and sending Telegram stickers with intelligent caching.
+    ### Video messages
 
-### Receiving stickers
+    Telegram distinguishes video files vs video notes.
 
-When a user sends a sticker, OpenClaw handles it based on the sticker type:
+    Message action example:
 
-- **Static stickers (WEBP):** Downloaded and processed through vision. The sticker appears as a `<media:sticker>` placeholder in the message content.
-- **Animated stickers (TGS):** Skipped (Lottie format not supported for processing).
-- **Video stickers (WEBM):** Skipped (video format not supported for processing).
-
-Template context field available when receiving stickers:
-
-- `Sticker` — object with:
-  - `emoji` — emoji associated with the sticker
-  - `setName` — name of the sticker set
-  - `fileId` — Telegram file ID (send the same sticker back)
-  - `fileUniqueId` — stable ID for cache lookup
-  - `cachedDescription` — cached vision description when available
-
-### Sticker cache
-
-Stickers are processed through the AI's vision capabilities to generate descriptions. Since the same stickers are often sent repeatedly, OpenClaw caches these descriptions to avoid redundant API calls.
+```json5
+{
+  action: "send",
+  channel: "telegram",
+  to: "123456789",
+  media: "https://example.com/video.mp4",
+  asVideoNote: true,
+}
+```
 
-**How it works:**
+    Video notes do not support captions; provided message text is sent separately.
 
-1. **First encounter:** The sticker image is sent to the AI for vision analysis. The AI generates a description (e.g., "A cartoon cat waving enthusiastically").
-2. **Cache storage:** The description is saved along with the sticker's file ID, emoji, and set name.
-3. **Subsequent encounters:** When the same sticker is seen again, the cached description is used directly. The image is not sent to the AI.
+    ### Stickers
 
-**Cache location:** `~/.openclaw/telegram/sticker-cache.json`
+    Inbound sticker handling:
 
-**Cache entry format:**
+    - static WEBP: downloaded and processed (placeholder `<media:sticker>`)

-## Streaming (drafts)
+  <Accordion title="Reaction notifications">
+    Telegram reactions arrive as `message_reaction` updates (separate from message payloads).
 
-Telegram can stream **draft bubbles** while the agent is generating a response.
-OpenClaw uses Bot API `sendMessageDraft` (not real messages) and then sends the
-final reply as a normal message.
+    When enabled, OpenClaw enqueues system events like:
 
-Requirements (Telegram Bot API 9.3+):
+    - `Telegram reaction added: 👍 by Alice (@alice) on msg 42`
 
-- **Private chats with topics enabled** (forum topic mode for the bot).
-- Incoming messages must include `message_thread_id` (private topic thread).
-- Streaming is ignored for groups/supergroups/channels.
+    Config:
 
-Config:
+    - `channels.telegram.reactionNotifications`: `off | own | all` (default: `own`)
+    - `channels.telegram.reactionLevel`: `off | ack | minimal | extensive` (default: `minimal`)
 
-- `channels.telegram.streamMode: "off" | "partial" | "block"` (default: `partial`)
-  - `partial`: update the draft bubble with the latest streaming text.
-  - `block`: update the draft bubble in larger blocks (chunked).
-  - `off`: disable draft streaming.
-- Optional (only for `streamMode: "block"`):
-  - `channels.telegram.draftChunk: { minChars?, maxChars?, breakPreference? }`
-    - defaults: `minChars: 200`, `maxChars: 800`, `breakPreference: "paragraph"` (clamped to `channels.telegram.textChunkLimit`).
+    Notes:
 
-Note: draft streaming is separate from **block streaming** (channel messages).
-Block streaming is off by default and requires `channels.telegram.blockStreaming: true`
-if you want early Telegram messages instead of draft updates.
+    - `own` means user reactions to bot-sent messages only (best-effort via sent-message cache).
+    - Telegram does not provide thread IDs in reaction updates.
+      - non-forum groups route to group chat session
+      - forum groups route to the group general-topic session (`:topic:1`), not the exact originating topic
 
-Reasoning stream (Telegram only):
+    `allowed_updates` for polling/webhook include `message_reaction` automatically.
 
-- `/reasoning stream` streams reasoning into the draft bubble while the reply is
-  generating, then sends the final answer without reasoning.
-- If `channels.telegram.streamMode` is `off`, reasoning stream is disabled.

-## Reaction notifications
+    - Telegram expects unicode emoji (for example "👀").
+    - Use `""` to disable the reaction for a channel or account.
 
-**How reactions work:**
-Telegram reactions arrive as **separate `message_reaction` events**, not as properties in message payloads. When a user adds a reaction, OpenClaw:
+  </Accordion>
 
-1. Receives the `message_reaction` update from Telegram API
-2. Converts it to a **system event** with format: `"Telegram reaction added: {emoji} by {user} on msg {id}"`
-3. Enqueues the system event using the **same session key** as regular messages
-4. When the next message arrives in that conversation, system events are drained and prepended to the agent's context
+  <Accordion title="Config writes from Telegram events and commands">
+    Channel config writes are enabled by default (`configWrites !== false`).
 
-The agent sees reactions as **system notifications** in the conversation history, not as message metadata.
+    Telegram-triggered writes include:
 
-**Configuration:**
+    - group migration events (`migrate_to_chat_id`) to update `channels.telegram.groups`
+    - `/config set` and `/config unset` (requires command enablement)
 
-- `channels.telegram.reactionNotifications`: Controls which reactions trigger notifications
-  - `"off"` — ignore all reactions
-  - `"own"` — notify when users react to bot messages (best-effort; in-memory) (default)
-  - `"all"` — notify for all reactions
-
-- `channels.telegram.reactionLevel`: Controls agent's reaction capability
-  - `"off"` — agent cannot react to messages
-  - `"ack"` — bot sends acknowledgment reactions (👀 while processing) (default)
-  - `"minimal"` — agent can react sparingly (guideline: 1 per 5-10 exchanges)
-  - `"extensive"` — agent can react liberally when appropriate
-
-**Forum groups:** Reactions in forum groups include `message_thread_id` and use session keys like `agent:main:telegram:group:{chatId}:topic:{threadId}`. This ensures reactions and messages in the same topic stay together.
-
-**Example config:**
+    Disable:

+By default, OpenClaw blocks private/internal hostnames and IP ranges for this plugin (SSRF hardening).
+If your ship URL is on a private network (for example `http://192.168.1.50:8080` or `http://localhost:8080`),
+you must explicitly opt in:
+
+```json5
+{
+  channels: {
+    tlon: {
+      allowPrivateNetwork: true,
+    },
+  },
+}
+```
+
 ## Group channels
 
 Auto-discovery is enabled by default. You can also pin channels manually:

+## Quick setup
 
-Minimal config:
+<Steps>
+  <Step title="Configure WhatsApp access policy">
 
 ```json5
 {
   channels: {
     whatsapp: {
-      dmPolicy: "allowlist",
+      dmPolicy: "pairing",
       allowFrom: ["+15551234567"],
+      groupPolicy: "allowlist",
+      groupAllowFrom: ["+15551234567"],
     },
   },
 }
 ```
 
-## Goals
+  </Step>
 
-- Multiple WhatsApp accounts (multi-account) in one Gateway process.
-- Deterministic routing: replies return to WhatsApp, no model routing.
-- Model sees enough context to understand quoted replies.
+  <Step title="Link WhatsApp (QR)">
 
-## Config writes
+```bash
+openclaw channels login --channel whatsapp
+```
 
-By default, WhatsApp is allowed to write config updates triggered by `/config set|unset` (requires `commands.config: true`).
+    For a specific account:
 
-Disable with:
+```bash
+openclaw channels login --channel whatsapp --account work
+```
 
-```json5
-{
-  channels: { whatsapp: { configWrites: false } },
-}
+  </Step>
+
+  <Step title="Start the gateway">
+
+```bash
+openclaw gateway
 ```
 
-## Architecture (who owns what)
+  </Step>
 
-- **Gateway** owns the Baileys socket and inbox loop.
-- **CLI / macOS app** talk to the gateway; no direct Baileys use.
-- **Active listener** is required for outbound sends; otherwise send fails fast.
+  <Step title="Approve first pairing request (if using pairing mode)">
 
-## Getting a phone number (two modes)
+```bash
+openclaw pairing list whatsapp
+openclaw pairing approve whatsapp <CODE>
+```
 
-WhatsApp requires a real mobile number for verification. VoIP and virtual numbers are usually blocked. There are two supported ways to run OpenClaw on WhatsApp:
+    Pairing requests expire after 1 hour. Pending requests are capped at 3 per channel.
 
-### Dedicated number (recommended)
+  </Step>
+</Steps>
 
-Use a **separate phone number** for OpenClaw. Best UX, clean routing, no self-chat quirks. Ideal setup: **spare/old Android phone + eSIM**. Leave it on Wi‑Fi and power, and link it via QR.
+<Note>
+OpenClaw recommends running WhatsApp on a separate number when possible. (The channel metadata and onboarding flow are optimized for that setup, but personal-number setups are also supported.)
+</Note>
 
-**WhatsApp Business:** You can use WhatsApp Business on the same device with a different number. Great for keeping your personal WhatsApp separate — install WhatsApp Business and register the OpenClaw number there.
+## Deployment patterns
 
-**Sample config (dedicated number, single-user allowlist):**
+<AccordionGroup>
+  <Accordion title="Dedicated number (recommended)">
+    This is the cleanest operational mode:
 
-```json5
-{
-  channels: {
-    whatsapp: {
-      dmPolicy: "allowlist",
-      allowFrom: ["+15551234567"],
-    },
-  },
-}
-```
+    - separate WhatsApp identity for OpenClaw
+    - clearer DM allowlists and routing boundaries
+    - lower chance of self-chat confusion
 
-**Pairing mode (optional):**
-If you want pairing instead of allowlist, set `channels.whatsapp.dmPolicy` to `pairing`. Unknown senders get a pairing code; approve with:
-`openclaw pairing approve whatsapp <code>`
+    Minimal policy pattern:
 
-### Personal number (fallback)
+    ```json5
+    {
+      channels: {
+        whatsapp: {
+          dmPolicy: "allowlist",
+          allowFrom: ["+15551234567"],
+        },
+      },
+    }
+    ```
 
-Quick fallback: run OpenClaw on **your own number**. Message yourself (WhatsApp “Message yourself”) for testing so you don’t spam contacts. Expect to read verification codes on your main phone during setup and experiments. **Must enable self-chat mode.**
-When the wizard asks for your personal WhatsApp number, enter the phone you will message from (the owner/sender), not the assistant number.
+  </Accordion>
 
-**Sample config (personal number, self-chat):**
+  <Accordion title="Personal-number fallback">
+    Onboarding supports personal-number mode and writes a self-chat-friendly baseline:
 
-```json
-{
-  "whatsapp": {
-    "selfChatMode": true,
-    "dmPolicy": "allowlist",
-    "allowFrom": ["+15551234567"]
-  }
-}
-```
+    - `dmPolicy: "allowlist"`
+    - `allowFrom` includes your personal number
+    - `selfChatMode: true`
 
-Self-chat replies default to `[{identity.name}]` when set (otherwise `[openclaw]`)
-if `messages.responsePrefix` is unset. Set it explicitly to customize or disable
-the prefix (use `""` to remove it).
+    In runtime, self-chat protections key off the linked self number and `allowFrom`.
 
-### Number sourcing tips
+  </Accordion>
 
-- **Local eSIM** from your country's mobile carrier (most reliable)
-  - Austria: [hot.at](https://www.hot.at)
-  - UK: [giffgaff](https://www.giffgaff.com) — free SIM, no contract
-- **Prepaid SIM** — cheap, just needs to receive one SMS for verification
+  <Accordion title="WhatsApp Web-only channel scope">
+    The messaging platform channel is WhatsApp Web-based (`Baileys`) in current OpenClaw channel architecture.
 
-**Avoid:** TextNow, Google Voice, most "free SMS" services — WhatsApp blocks these aggressively.
+    There is no separate Twilio WhatsApp messaging channel in the built-in chat-channel registry.
 
-**Tip:** The number only needs to receive one verification SMS. After that, WhatsApp Web sessions persist via `creds.json`.
+  </Accordion>
+</AccordionGroup>
 
-## Why Not Twilio?
+## Runtime model
 
-- Early OpenClaw builds supported Twilio’s WhatsApp Business integration.
-- WhatsApp Business numbers are a poor fit for a personal assistant.
-- Meta enforces a 24‑hour reply window; if you haven’t responded in the last 24 hours, the business number can’t initiate new messages.
-- High-volume or “chatty” usage triggers aggressive blocking, because business accounts aren’t meant to send dozens of personal assistant messages.
-- Result: unreliable delivery and frequent blocks, so support was removed.
+- Gateway owns the WhatsApp socket and reconnect loop.
+- Outbound sends require an active WhatsApp listener for the target account.
+- Status and broadcast chats are ignored (`@status`, `@broadcast`).
+- Direct chats use DM session rules (`session.dmScope`; default `main` collapses DMs to the agent main session).
+- Group sessions are isolated (`agent:<agentId>:whatsapp:group:<jid>`).
 
-## Login + credentials
+## Access control and activation
 
-- Login command: `openclaw channels login` (QR via Linked Devices).
-- Multi-account login: `openclaw channels login --account <id>` (`<id>` = `accountId`).
-- Default account (when `--account` is omitted): `default` if present, otherwise the first configured account id (sorted).
-- Credentials stored in `~/.openclaw/credentials/whatsapp/<accountId>/creds.json`.
-- Backup copy at `creds.json.bak` (restored on corruption).
-- Legacy compatibility: older installs stored Baileys files directly in `~/.openclaw/credentials/`.
-- Logout: `openclaw channels logout` (or `--account <id>`) deletes WhatsApp auth state (but keeps shared `oauth.json`).
-- Logged-out socket => error instructs re-link.
+<Tabs>
+  <Tab title="DM policy">
+    `channels.whatsapp.dmPolicy` controls direct chat access:
 
-## Inbound flow (DM + group)
+    - `pairing` (default)
+    - `allowlist`
+    - `open` (requires `allowFrom` to include `"*"`)
+    - `disabled`
 
-- WhatsApp events come from `messages.upsert` (Baileys).
-- Inbox listeners are detached on shutdown to avoid accumulating event handlers in tests/restarts.
-- Status/broadcast chats are ignored.
-- Direct chats use E.164; groups use group JID.
-- **DM policy**: `channels.whatsapp.dmPolicy` controls direct chat access (default: `pairing`).
-  - Pairing: unknown senders get a pairing code (approve via `openclaw pairing approve whatsapp <code>`; codes expire after 1 hour).
-  - Open: requires `channels.whatsapp.allowFrom` to include `"*"`.
-  - Your linked WhatsApp number is implicitly trusted, so self messages skip ⁠`channels.whatsapp.dmPolicy` and `channels.whatsapp.allowFrom` checks.
+    `allowFrom` accepts E.164-style numbers (normalized internally).
 
-### Personal-number mode (fallback)
+    Multi-account override: `channels.whatsapp.accounts.<id>.dmPolicy` (and `allowFrom`) take precedence over channel-level defaults for that account.
 
-If you run OpenClaw on your **personal WhatsApp number**, enable `channels.whatsapp.selfChatMode` (see sample above).
+    Runtime behavior details:
 
-Behavior:
+    - pairings are persisted in channel allow-store and merged with configured `allowFrom`
+    - if no allowlist is configured, the linked self number is allowed by default
+    - outbound `fromMe` DMs are never auto-paired
 
-- Outbound DMs never trigger pairing replies (prevents spamming contacts).
-- Inbound unknown senders still follow `channels.whatsapp.dmPolicy`.
-- Self-chat mode (allowFrom includes your number) avoids auto read receipts and ignores mention JIDs.
-- Read receipts sent for non-self-chat DMs.
+  </Tab>
 
-## Read receipts
+  <Tab title="Group policy + allowlists">
+    Group access has two layers:
 
-By default, the gateway marks inbound WhatsApp messages as read (blue ticks) once they are accepted.
+    1. **Group membership allowlist** (`channels.whatsapp.groups`)
+       - if `groups` is omitted, all groups are eligible
+       - if `groups` is present, it acts as a group allowlist (`"*"` allowed)
 
-Disable globally:
+    2. **Group sender policy** (`channels.whatsapp.groupPolicy` + `groupAllowFrom`)
+       - `open`: sender allowlist bypassed
+       - `allowlist`: sender must match `groupAllowFrom` (or `*`)
+       - `disabled`: block all group inbound
 
-```json5
-{
-  channels: { whatsapp: { sendReadReceipts: false } },
-}
-```
+    Sender allowlist fallback:
+
+    - if `groupAllowFrom` is unset, runtime falls back to `allowFrom` when available
+
+    Note: if no `channels.whatsapp` block exists at all, runtime group-policy fallback is effectively `open`.
+
+  </Tab>
+
+  <Tab title="Mentions + /activation">
+    Group replies require mention by default.
+
+    Mention detection includes:
+
+    - explicit WhatsApp mentions of the bot identity
+    - configured mention regex patterns (`agents.list[].groupChat.mentionPatterns`, fallback `messages.groupChat.mentionPatterns`)
+    - implicit reply-to-bot detection (reply sender matches bot identity)
+
+    Session-level activation command:
+
+    - `/activation mention`
+    - `/activation always`
+
+    `activation` updates session state (not global config). It is owner-gated.
+
+  </Tab>
+</Tabs>
+
+## Personal-number and self-chat behavior
+
+When the linked self number is also present in `allowFrom`, WhatsApp self-chat safeguards activate:
+
+- skip read receipts for self-chat turns
+- ignore mention-JID auto-trigger behavior that would otherwise ping yourself
+- if `messages.responsePrefix` is unset, self-chat replies default to `[{identity.name}]` or `[openclaw]`

+## Message normalization and context
+
+<AccordionGroup>
+  <Accordion title="Inbound envelope + reply context">
+    Incoming WhatsApp messages are wrapped in the shared inbound envelope.

+    <quoted body or media placeholder>

+Behavior notes:
 
-- Self-chat mode always skips read receipts.
+- sent immediately after inbound is accepted (pre-reply)
+- failures are logged but do not block normal reply delivery
+- group mode `mentions` reacts on mention-triggered turns; group activation `always` acts as bypass for this check
+- WhatsApp uses `channels.whatsapp.ackReaction` (legacy `messages.ackReaction` is not used here)
 
-## WhatsApp FAQ: sending messages + pairing
+## Multi-account and credentials
 
-**Will OpenClaw message random contacts when I link WhatsApp?**  
-No. Default DM policy is **pairing**, so unknown senders only get a pairing code and their message is **not processed**. OpenClaw only replies to chats it receives, or to sends you explicitly trigger (agent/CLI).
+<AccordionGroup>
+  <Accordion title="Account selection and defaults">
+    - account ids come from `channels.whatsapp.accounts`
+    - default account selection: `default` if present, otherwise first configured account id (sorted)
+    - account ids are normalized internally for lookup
+  </Accordion>
 
-**How does pairing work on WhatsApp?**  
-Pairing is a DM gate for unknown senders:
+  <Accordion title="Credential paths and legacy compatibility">
+    - current auth path: `~/.openclaw/credentials/whatsapp/<accountId>/creds.json`
+    - backup file: `creds.json.bak`
+    - legacy default auth in `~/.openclaw/credentials/` is still recognized/migrated for default-account flows
+  </Accordion>
 
-- First DM from a new sender returns a short code (message is not processed).
-- Approve with: `openclaw pairing approve whatsapp <code>` (list with `openclaw pairing list whatsapp`).
-- Codes expire after 1 hour; pending requests are capped at 3 per channel.
+  <Accordion title="Logout behavior">
+    `openclaw channels logout --channel whatsapp [--account <id>]` clears WhatsApp auth state for that account.
 
-**Can multiple people use different OpenClaw instances on one WhatsApp number?**  
-Yes, by routing each sender to a different agent via `bindings` (peer `kind: "dm"`, sender E.164 like `+15551234567`). Replies still come from the **same WhatsApp account**, and direct chats collapse to each agent’s main session, so use **one agent per person**. DM access control (`dmPolicy`/`allowFrom`) is global per WhatsApp account. See [Multi-Agent Routing](/concepts/multi-agent).
+    In legacy auth directories, `oauth.json` is preserved while Baileys auth files are removed.
 
-**Why do you ask for my phone number in the wizard?**  
-The wizard uses it to set your **allowlist/owner** so your own DMs are permitted. It’s not used for auto-sending. If you run on your personal WhatsApp number, use that same number and enable `channels.whatsapp.selfChatMode`.
+  </Accordion>
+</AccordionGroup>
 
-## Message normalization (what the model sees)
+## Tools, actions, and config writes
 
-- `Body` is the current message body with envelope.
-- Quoted reply context is **always appended**:
-  ```
-  [Replying to +1555 id:ABC123]
-  <quoted text or <media:...>>
-  [/Replying]
-  ```
-- Reply metadata also set:
-  - `ReplyToId` = stanzaId
-  - `ReplyToBody` = quoted body or media placeholder
-  - `ReplyToSender` = E.164 when known
-- Media-only inbound messages use placeholders:
-  - `<media:image|video|audio|document|sticker>`
+- Agent tool support includes WhatsApp reaction action (`react`).
+- Action gates:
+  - `channels.whatsapp.actions.reactions`
+  - `channels.whatsapp.actions.polls`
+- Channel-initiated config writes are enabled by default (disable via `channels.whatsapp.configWrites=false`).
 
-## Groups
+## Troubleshooting
 
-- Groups map to `agent:<agentId>:whatsapp:group:<jid>` sessions.
-- Group policy: `channels.whatsapp.groupPolicy = open|disabled|allowlist` (default `allowlist`).
-- Activation modes:
-  - `mention` (default): requires @mention or regex match.
-  - `always`: always triggers.
-- `/activation mention|always` is owner-only and must be sent as a standalone message.
-- Owner = `channels.whatsapp.allowFrom` (or self E.164 if unset).
-- **History injection** (pending-only):
-  - Recent _unprocessed_ messages (default 50) inserted under:
-    `[Chat messages since your last reply - for context]` (messages already in the session are not re-injected)
-  - Current message under:
-    `[Current message - respond to this]`
-  - Sender suffix appended: `[from: Name (+E164)]`
-- Group metadata cached 5 min (subject + participants).
+<AccordionGroup>
+  <Accordion title="Not linked (QR required)">
+    Symptom: channel status reports not linked.
 
-## Reply delivery (threading)
+    Fix:
 
-- WhatsApp Web sends standard messages (no quoted reply threading in the current gateway).
-- Reply tags are ignored on this channel.
+    ```bash
+    openclaw channels login --channel whatsapp
+    openclaw channels status
+    ```
 
-## Acknowledgment reactions (auto-react on receipt)

+## Related
 
-**Behavior notes:**
-
-- Reactions are sent **immediately** upon message receipt, before typing indicators or bot replies.
-- In groups with `requireMention: false` (activation: always), `group: "mentions"` will react to all messages (not just @mentions).
-- Fire-and-forget: reaction failures are logged but don't prevent the bot from replying.
-- Participant JID is automatically included for group reactions.
-- WhatsApp ignores `messages.ackReaction`; use `channels.whatsapp.ackReaction` instead.
-
-## Agent tool (reactions)
-
-- Tool: `whatsapp` with `react` action (`chatJid`, `messageId`, `emoji`, optional `remove`).
-- Optional: `participant` (group sender), `fromMe` (reacting to your own message), `accountId` (multi-account).
-- Reaction removal semantics: see [/tools/reactions](/tools/reactions).
-- Tool gating: `channels.whatsapp.actions.reactions` (default: enabled).
-
-## Limits
-
-- Outbound text is chunked to `channels.whatsapp.textChunkLimit` (default 4000).
-- Optional newline chunking: set `channels.whatsapp.chunkMode="newline"` to split on blank lines (paragraph boundaries) before length chunking.
-- Inbound media saves are capped by `channels.whatsapp.mediaMaxMb` (default 50 MB).
-- Outbound media items are capped by `agents.defaults.mediaMaxMb` (default 5 MB).
-
-## Outbound send (text + media)
-
-- Uses active web listener; error if gateway not running.
-- Text chunking: 4k max per message (configurable via `channels.whatsapp.textChunkLimit`, optional `channels.whatsapp.chunkMode`).
-- Media:
-  - Image/video/audio/document supported.
-  - Audio sent as PTT; `audio/ogg` => `audio/ogg; codecs=opus`.
-  - Caption only on first media item.
-  - Media fetch supports HTTP(S) and local paths.
-  - Animated GIFs: WhatsApp expects MP4 with `gifPlayback: true` for inline looping.
-    - CLI: `openclaw message send --media <mp4> --gif-playback`
-    - Gateway: `send` params include `gifPlayback: true`
-
-## Voice notes (PTT audio)
-
-WhatsApp sends audio as **voice notes** (PTT bubble).
-
-- Best results: OGG/Opus. OpenClaw rewrites `audio/ogg` to `audio/ogg; codecs=opus`.
-- `[[audio_as_voice]]` is ignored for WhatsApp (audio already ships as voice note).
-
-## Media limits + optimization
-
-- Default outbound cap: 5 MB (per media item).
-- Override: `agents.defaults.mediaMaxMb`.
-- Images are auto-optimized to JPEG under cap (resize + quality sweep).
-- Oversize media => error; media reply falls back to text warning.
-
-## Heartbeats
-
-- **Gateway heartbeat** logs connection health (`web.heartbeatSeconds`, default 60s).
-- **Agent heartbeat** can be configured per agent (`agents.list[].heartbeat`) or globally
-  via `agents.defaults.heartbeat` (fallback when no per-agent entries are set).
-  - Uses the configured heartbeat prompt (default: `Read HEARTBEAT.md if it exists (workspace context). Follow it strictly. Do not infer or repeat old tasks from prior chats. If nothing needs attention, reply HEARTBEAT_OK.`) + `HEARTBEAT_OK` skip behavior.
-  - Delivery defaults to the last used channel (or configured target).
-
-## Reconnect behavior
-
-- Backoff policy: `web.reconnect`:
-  - `initialMs`, `maxMs`, `factor`, `jitter`, `maxAttempts`.
-- If maxAttempts reached, web monitoring stops (degraded).
-- Logged-out => stop and require re-link.
-
-## Config quick map
-
-- `channels.whatsapp.dmPolicy` (DM policy: pairing/allowlist/open/disabled).
-- `channels.whatsapp.selfChatMode` (same-phone setup; bot uses your personal WhatsApp number).
-- `channels.whatsapp.allowFrom` (DM allowlist). WhatsApp uses E.164 phone numbers (no usernames).
-- `channels.whatsapp.mediaMaxMb` (inbound media save cap).
-- `channels.whatsapp.ackReaction` (auto-reaction on message receipt: `{emoji, direct, group}`).
-- `channels.whatsapp.accounts.<accountId>.*` (per-account settings + optional `authDir`).
-- `channels.whatsapp.accounts.<accountId>.mediaMaxMb` (per-account inbound media cap).
-- `channels.whatsapp.accounts.<accountId>.ackReaction` (per-account ack reaction override).
-- `channels.whatsapp.groupAllowFrom` (group sender allowlist).
-- `channels.whatsapp.groupPolicy` (group policy).
-- `channels.whatsapp.historyLimit` / `channels.whatsapp.accounts.<accountId>.historyLimit` (group history context; `0` disables).
-- `channels.whatsapp.dmHistoryLimit` (DM history limit in user turns). Per-user overrides: `channels.whatsapp.dms["<phone>"].historyLimit`.
-- `channels.whatsapp.groups` (group allowlist + mention gating defaults; use `"*"` to allow all)
-- `channels.whatsapp.actions.reactions` (gate WhatsApp tool reactions).
-- `agents.list[].groupChat.mentionPatterns` (or `messages.groupChat.mentionPatterns`)
-- `messages.groupChat.historyLimit`
-- `channels.whatsapp.messagePrefix` (inbound prefix; per-account: `channels.whatsapp.accounts.<accountId>.messagePrefix`; deprecated: `messages.messagePrefix`)
-- `messages.responsePrefix` (outbound prefix)
-- `agents.defaults.mediaMaxMb`
-- `agents.defaults.heartbeat.every`
-- `agents.defaults.heartbeat.model` (optional override)
-- `agents.defaults.heartbeat.target`
-- `agents.defaults.heartbeat.to`
-- `agents.defaults.heartbeat.session`
-- `agents.list[].heartbeat.*` (per-agent overrides)
-- `session.*` (scope, idle, store, mainKey)
-- `web.enabled` (disable channel startup when false)
-- `web.heartbeatSeconds`
-- `web.reconnect.*`
-
-## Logs + troubleshooting
-
-- Subsystems: `whatsapp/inbound`, `whatsapp/outbound`, `web-heartbeat`, `web-reconnect`.
-- Log file: `/tmp/openclaw/openclaw-YYYY-MM-DD.log` (configurable).
-- Troubleshooting guide: [Gateway troubleshooting](/gateway/troubleshooting).
-
-## Troubleshooting (quick)
-
-**Not linked / QR login required**
-
-- Symptom: `channels status` shows `linked: false` or warns “Not linked”.
-- Fix: run `openclaw channels login` on the gateway host and scan the QR (WhatsApp → Settings → Linked Devices).
-
-**Linked but disconnected / reconnect loop**
-
-- Symptom: `channels status` shows `running, disconnected` or warns “Linked but disconnected”.
-- Fix: `openclaw doctor` (or restart the gateway). If it persists, relink via `channels login` and inspect `openclaw logs --follow`.
-
-**Bun runtime**
-
-- Bun is **not recommended**. WhatsApp (Baileys) and Telegram are unreliable on Bun.
-  Run the gateway with **Node**. (See Getting Started runtime note.)

+title: CI Pipeline
+description: How the OpenClaw CI pipeline works
+---
+
+# CI Pipeline
+
+The CI runs on every push to `main` and every pull request. It uses smart scoping to skip expensive jobs when only docs or native code changed.
+
+## Job Overview
+
+| Job               | Purpose                                         | When it runs              |
+| ----------------- | ----------------------------------------------- | ------------------------- |
+| `docs-scope`      | Detect docs-only changes                        | Always                    |
+| `changed-scope`   | Detect which areas changed (node/macos/android) | Non-docs PRs              |
+| `check`           | TypeScript types, lint, format                  | Non-docs changes          |
+| `check-docs`      | Markdown lint + broken link check               | Docs changed              |
+| `code-analysis`   | LOC threshold check (1000 lines)                | PRs only                  |
+| `secrets`         | Detect leaked secrets                           | Always                    |
+| `build-artifacts` | Build dist once, share with other jobs          | Non-docs, node changes    |
+| `release-check`   | Validate npm pack contents                      | After build               |
+| `checks`          | Node/Bun tests + protocol check                 | Non-docs, node changes    |
+| `checks-windows`  | Windows-specific tests                          | Non-docs, node changes    |
+| `macos`           | Swift lint/build/test + TS tests                | PRs with macos changes    |
+| `android`         | Gradle build + tests                            | Non-docs, android changes |
+
+## Fail-Fast Order
+
+Jobs are ordered so cheap checks fail before expensive ones run:
+
+1. `docs-scope` + `code-analysis` + `check` (parallel, ~1-2 min)
+2. `build-artifacts` (blocked on above)
+3. `checks`, `checks-windows`, `macos`, `android` (blocked on build)
+
+## Runners
+
+| Runner                          | Jobs                          |
+| ------------------------------- | ----------------------------- |
+| `blacksmith-4vcpu-ubuntu-2404`  | Most Linux jobs               |
+| `blacksmith-4vcpu-windows-2025` | `checks-windows`              |
+| `macos-latest`                  | `macos`, `ios`                |
+| `ubuntu-latest`                 | Scope detection (lightweight) |

-read_when:
-  - Changing channel routing or inbox behavior
-title: "Channel Routing"
----
-
-# Channels & routing
-
-OpenClaw routes replies **back to the channel where a message came from**. The
-model does not choose a channel; routing is deterministic and controlled by the
-host configuration.
-
-## Key terms
-
-- **Channel**: `whatsapp`, `telegram`, `discord`, `slack`, `signal`, `imessage`, `webchat`.
-- **AccountId**: per‑channel account instance (when supported).
-- **AgentId**: an isolated workspace + session store (“brain”).
-- **SessionKey**: the bucket key used to store context and control concurrency.
-
-## Session key shapes (examples)
-
-Direct messages collapse to the agent’s **main** session:
-
-- `agent:<agentId>:<mainKey>` (default: `agent:main:main`)
-
-Groups and channels remain isolated per channel:
-
-- Groups: `agent:<agentId>:<channel>:group:<id>`
-- Channels/rooms: `agent:<agentId>:<channel>:channel:<id>`
-
-Threads:
-
-- Slack/Discord threads append `:thread:<threadId>` to the base key.
-- Telegram forum topics embed `:topic:<topicId>` in the group key.
-
-Examples:
-
-- `agent:main:telegram:group:-1001234567890:topic:42`
-- `agent:main:discord:channel:123456:thread:987654`
-
-## Routing rules (how an agent is chosen)
-
-Routing picks **one agent** for each inbound message:
-
-1. **Exact peer match** (`bindings` with `peer.kind` + `peer.id`).
-2. **Guild match** (Discord) via `guildId`.
-3. **Team match** (Slack) via `teamId`.
-4. **Account match** (`accountId` on the channel).
-5. **Channel match** (any account on that channel).
-6. **Default agent** (`agents.list[].default`, else first list entry, fallback to `main`).
-
-The matched agent determines which workspace and session store are used.
-
-## Broadcast groups (run multiple agents)
-
-Broadcast groups let you run **multiple agents** for the same peer **when OpenClaw would normally reply** (for example: in WhatsApp groups, after mention/activation gating).
-
-Config:
-
-```json5
-{
-  broadcast: {
-    strategy: "parallel",
-    "120363403215116621@g.us": ["alfred", "baerbel"],
-    "+15555550123": ["support", "logger"],
-  },
-}
-```
-
-See: [Broadcast Groups](/broadcast-groups).
-
-## Config overview
-
-- `agents.list`: named agent definitions (workspace, model, etc.).
-- `bindings`: map inbound channels/accounts/peers to agents.
-
-Example:
-
-```json5
-{
-  agents: {
-    list: [{ id: "support", name: "Support", workspace: "~/.openclaw/workspace-support" }],
-  },
-  bindings: [
-    { match: { channel: "slack", teamId: "T123" }, agentId: "support" },
-    { match: { channel: "telegram", peer: { kind: "group", id: "-100123" } }, agentId: "support" },
-  ],
-}
-```
-
-## Session storage
-
-Session stores live under the state directory (default `~/.openclaw`):
-
-- `~/.openclaw/agents/<agentId>/sessions/sessions.json`
-- JSONL transcripts live alongside the store
-
-You can override the store path via `session.store` and `{agentId}` templating.
-
-## WebChat behavior
-
-WebChat attaches to the **selected agent** and defaults to the agent’s main
-session. Because of this, WebChat lets you see cross‑channel context for that
-agent in one place.
-
-## Reply context
-
-Inbound replies include:
-
-- `ReplyToId`, `ReplyToBody`, and `ReplyToSender` when available.
-- Quoted context is appended to `Body` as a `[Replying to ...]` block.
-
-This is consistent across channels.

-# Groups
-
-OpenClaw treats group chats consistently across surfaces: WhatsApp, Telegram, Discord, Slack, Signal, iMessage, Microsoft Teams.
-
-## Beginner intro (2 minutes)
-
-OpenClaw “lives” on your own messaging accounts. There is no separate WhatsApp bot user.
-If **you** are in a group, OpenClaw can see that group and respond there.
-
-Default behavior:
-
-- Groups are restricted (`groupPolicy: "allowlist"`).
-- Replies require a mention unless you explicitly disable mention gating.
-
-Translation: allowlisted senders can trigger OpenClaw by mentioning it.
-
-> TL;DR
->
-> - **DM access** is controlled by `*.allowFrom`.
-> - **Group access** is controlled by `*.groupPolicy` + allowlists (`*.groups`, `*.groupAllowFrom`).
-> - **Reply triggering** is controlled by mention gating (`requireMention`, `/activation`).
-
-Quick flow (what happens to a group message):
-
-```
-groupPolicy? disabled -> drop
-groupPolicy? allowlist -> group allowed? no -> drop
-requireMention? yes -> mentioned? no -> store for context only
-otherwise -> reply
-```
-
-![Group message flow](/images/groups-flow.svg)
-
-If you want...
-| Goal | What to set |
-|------|-------------|
-| Allow all groups but only reply on @mentions | `groups: { "*": { requireMention: true } }` |
-| Disable all group replies | `groupPolicy: "disabled"` |
-| Only specific groups | `groups: { "<group-id>": { ... } }` (no `"*"` key) |
-| Only you can trigger in groups | `groupPolicy: "allowlist"`, `groupAllowFrom: ["+1555..."]` |
-
-## Session keys
-
-- Group sessions use `agent:<agentId>:<channel>:group:<id>` session keys (rooms/channels use `agent:<agentId>:<channel>:channel:<id>`).
-- Telegram forum topics add `:topic:<threadId>` to the group id so each topic has its own session.
-- Direct chats use the main session (or per-sender if configured).
-- Heartbeats are skipped for group sessions.
-
-## Pattern: personal DMs + public groups (single agent)
-
-Yes — this works well if your “personal” traffic is **DMs** and your “public” traffic is **groups**.
-
-Why: in single-agent mode, DMs typically land in the **main** session key (`agent:main:main`), while groups always use **non-main** session keys (`agent:main:<channel>:group:<id>`). If you enable sandboxing with `mode: "non-main"`, those group sessions run in Docker while your main DM session stays on-host.
-
-This gives you one agent “brain” (shared workspace + memory), but two execution postures:
-
-- **DMs**: full tools (host)
-- **Groups**: sandbox + restricted tools (Docker)
-
-> If you need truly separate workspaces/personas (“personal” and “public” must never mix), use a second agent + bindings. See [Multi-Agent Routing](/concepts/multi-agent).
-
-Example (DMs on host, groups sandboxed + messaging-only tools):
-
-```json5
-{
-  agents: {
-    defaults: {
-      sandbox: {
-        mode: "non-main", // groups/channels are non-main -> sandboxed
-        scope: "session", // strongest isolation (one container per group/channel)
-        workspaceAccess: "none",
-      },
-    },
-  },
-  tools: {
-    sandbox: {
-      tools: {
-        // If allow is non-empty, everything else is blocked (deny still wins).
-        allow: ["group:messaging", "group:sessions"],
-        deny: ["group:runtime", "group:fs", "group:ui", "nodes", "cron", "gateway"],
-      },
-    },
-  },
-}
-```
-
-Want “groups can only see folder X” instead of “no host access”? Keep `workspaceAccess: "none"` and mount only allowlisted paths into the sandbox:
-
-```json5
-{
-  agents: {
-    defaults: {
-      sandbox: {
-        mode: "non-main",
-        scope: "session",
-        workspaceAccess: "none",
-        docker: {
-          binds: [
-            // hostPath:containerPath:mode
-            "~/FriendsShared:/data:ro",
-          ],
-        },
-      },
-    },
-  },
-}
-```

-
-## Display labels
-
-- UI labels use `displayName` when available, formatted as `<channel>:<token>`.
-- `#room` is reserved for rooms/channels; group chats use `g-<slug>` (lowercase, spaces -> `-`, keep `#@+._-`).
-
-## Group policy
-
-Control how group/room messages are handled per channel:
-
-```json5
-{
-  channels: {
-    whatsapp: {
-      groupPolicy: "disabled", // "open" | "disabled" | "allowlist"
-      groupAllowFrom: ["+15551234567"],
-    },
-    telegram: {
-      groupPolicy: "disabled",
-      groupAllowFrom: ["123456789", "@username"],
-    },
-    signal: {
-      groupPolicy: "disabled",
-      groupAllowFrom: ["+15551234567"],
-    },
-    imessage: {
-      groupPolicy: "disabled",
-      groupAllowFrom: ["chat_id:123"],
-    },
-    msteams: {
-      groupPolicy: "disabled",
-      groupAllowFrom: ["user@org.com"],
-    },
-    discord: {
-      groupPolicy: "allowlist",
-      guilds: {
-        GUILD_ID: { channels: { help: { allow: true } } },
-      },
-    },
-    slack: {
-      groupPolicy: "allowlist",
-      channels: { "#general": { allow: true } },
-    },
-    matrix: {
-      groupPolicy: "allowlist",
-      groupAllowFrom: ["@owner:example.org"],
-      groups: {
-        "!roomId:example.org": { allow: true },
-        "#alias:example.org": { allow: true },
-      },
-    },
-  },
-}
-```
-
-| Policy        | Behavior                                                     |
-| ------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------ |
-| `"open"`      | Groups bypass allowlists; mention-gating still applies.      |
-| `"disabled"`  | Block all group messages entirely.                           |
-| `"allowlist"` | Only allow groups/rooms that match the configured allowlist. |
-
-Notes:
-
-- `groupPolicy` is separate from mention-gating (which requires @mentions).
-- WhatsApp/Telegram/Signal/iMessage/Microsoft Teams: use `groupAllowFrom` (fallback: explicit `allowFrom`).
-- Discord: allowlist uses `channels.discord.guilds.<id>.channels`.
-- Slack: allowlist uses `channels.slack.channels`.
-- Matrix: allowlist uses `channels.matrix.groups` (room IDs, aliases, or names). Use `channels.matrix.groupAllowFrom` to restrict senders; per-room `users` allowlists are also supported.
-- Group DMs are controlled separately (`channels.discord.dm.*`, `channels.slack.dm.*`).
-- Telegram allowlist can match user IDs (`"123456789"`, `"telegram:123456789"`, `"tg:123456789"`) or usernames (`"@alice"` or `"alice"`); prefixes are case-insensitive.
-- Default is `groupPolicy: "allowlist"`; if your group allowlist is empty, group messages are blocked.
-
-Quick mental model (evaluation order for group messages):
-
-1. `groupPolicy` (open/disabled/allowlist)
-2. group allowlists (`*.groups`, `*.groupAllowFrom`, channel-specific allowlist)
-3. mention gating (`requireMention`, `/activation`)
-
-## Mention gating (default)
-
-Group messages require a mention unless overridden per group. Defaults live per subsystem under `*.groups."*"`.
-
-Replying to a bot message counts as an implicit mention (when the channel supports reply metadata). This applies to Telegram, WhatsApp, Slack, Discord, and Microsoft Teams.
-
-```json5
-{
-  channels: {
-    whatsapp: {
-      groups: {
-        "*": { requireMention: true },
-        "123@g.us": { requireMention: false },
-      },
-    },
-    telegram: {
-      groups: {
-        "*": { requireMention: true },
-        "123456789": { requireMention: false },
-      },
-    },
-    imessage: {
-      groups: {
-        "*": { requireMention: true },
-        "123": { requireMention: false },
-      },
-    },
-  },
-  agents: {
-    list: [
-      {
-        id: "main",
-        groupChat: {
-          mentionPatterns: ["@openclaw", "openclaw", "\\+15555550123"],
-          historyLimit: 50,
-        },
-      },
-    ],
-  },
-}
-```
-
-Notes:
-
-- `mentionPatterns` are case-insensitive regexes.
-- Surfaces that provide explicit mentions still pass; patterns are a fallback.
-- Per-agent override: `agents.list[].groupChat.mentionPatterns` (useful when multiple agents share a group).
-- Mention gating is only enforced when mention detection is possible (native mentions or `mentionPatterns` are configured).
-- Discord defaults live in `channels.discord.guilds."*"` (overridable per guild/channel).
-- Group history context is wrapped uniformly across channels and is **pending-only** (messages skipped due to mention gating); use `messages.groupChat.historyLimit` for the global default and `channels.<channel>.historyLimit` (or `channels.<channel>.accounts.*.historyLimit`) for overrides. Set `0` to disable.
-
-## Group/channel tool restrictions (optional)
-
-Some channel configs support restricting which tools are available **inside a specific group/room/channel**.
-
-- `tools`: allow/deny tools for the whole group.
-- `toolsBySender`: per-sender overrides within the group (keys are sender IDs/usernames/emails/phone numbers depending on the channel). Use `"*"` as a wildcard.
-
-Resolution order (most specific wins):
-
-1. group/channel `toolsBySender` match
-2. group/channel `tools`
-3. default (`"*"`) `toolsBySender` match
-4. default (`"*"`) `tools`
-
-Example (Telegram):
-
-```json5
-{
-  channels: {
-    telegram: {
-      groups: {
-        "*": { tools: { deny: ["exec"] } },
-        "-1001234567890": {
-          tools: { deny: ["exec", "read", "write"] },
-          toolsBySender: {
-            "123456789": { alsoAllow: ["exec"] },
-          },
-        },
-      },
-    },
-  },
-}
-```
-
-Notes:
-
-- Group/channel tool restrictions are applied in addition to global/agent tool policy (deny still wins).
-- Some channels use different nesting for rooms/channels (e.g., Discord `guilds.*.channels.*`, Slack `channels.*`, MS Teams `teams.*.channels.*`).
-
-## Group allowlists
-
-When `channels.whatsapp.groups`, `channels.telegram.groups`, or `channels.imessage.groups` is configured, the keys act as a group allowlist. Use `"*"` to allow all groups while still setting default mention behavior.
-
-Common intents (copy/paste):
-
-1. Disable all group replies
-
-```json5
-{
-  channels: { whatsapp: { groupPolicy: "disabled" } },
-}
-```
-
-2. Allow only specific groups (WhatsApp)
-
-```json5
-{
-  channels: {
-    whatsapp: {
-      groups: {
-        "123@g.us": { requireMention: true },
-        "456@g.us": { requireMention: false },
-      },
-    },
-  },
-}
-```
-
-3. Allow all groups but require mention (explicit)
-
-```json5
-{
-  channels: {
-    whatsapp: {
-      groups: { "*": { requireMention: true } },
-    },
-  },
-}
-```
-
-4. Only the owner can trigger in groups (WhatsApp)
-
-```json5
-{
-  channels: {
-    whatsapp: {
-      groupPolicy: "allowlist",
-      groupAllowFrom: ["+15551234567"],
-      groups: { "*": { requireMention: true } },
-    },
-  },
-}
-```
-
-## Activation (owner-only)
-
-Group owners can toggle per-group activation:
-
-- `/activation mention`
-- `/activation always`
-
-Owner is determined by `channels.whatsapp.allowFrom` (or the bot’s self E.164 when unset). Send the command as a standalone message. Other surfaces currently ignore `/activation`.
-
-## Context fields
-
-Group inbound payloads set:
-
-- `ChatType=group`
-- `GroupSubject` (if known)
-- `GroupMembers` (if known)
-- `WasMentioned` (mention gating result)
-- Telegram forum topics also include `MessageThreadId` and `IsForum`.
-
-The agent system prompt includes a group intro on the first turn of a new group session. It reminds the model to respond like a human, avoid Markdown tables, and avoid typing literal `\n` sequences.
-
-## iMessage specifics
-
-- Prefer `chat_id:<id>` when routing or allowlisting.
-- List chats: `imsg chats --limit 20`.
-- Group replies always go back to the same `chat_id`.
-
-## WhatsApp specifics
-
-See [Group messages](/concepts/group-messages) for WhatsApp-only behavior (history injection, mention handling details).

 - When `memorySearch.provider = "local"`, `node-llama-cpp` resolves `modelPath`; if the GGUF is missing it **auto-downloads** to the cache (or `local.modelCacheDir` if set), then loads it. Downloads resume on retry.
 - Native build requirement: run `pnpm approve-builds`, pick `node-llama-cpp`, then `pnpm rebuild node-llama-cpp`.
 - Fallback: if local setup fails and `memorySearch.fallback = "openai"`, we automatically switch to remote embeddings (`openai/text-embedding-3-small` unless overridden) and record the reason.

 - Use Node + tsc watch, then run compiled output:
+
   ```bash
   pnpm exec tsc --watch --preserveWatchOutput
   node --watch openclaw.mjs status
   ```
+
 - Confirmed locally: `pnpm exec tsc -p tsconfig.json` + `node openclaw.mjs status` works on Node 25.
 - Disable esbuild keepNames in the TS loader if possible (prevents `__name` helper insertion); tsx does not currently expose this.
 - Test Node LTS (22/24) with `tsx` to see if the issue is Node 25–specific.

-summary: "Where OpenClaw loads environment variables and the precedence order"
-read_when:
-  - You need to know which env vars are loaded, and in what order
-  - You are debugging missing API keys in the Gateway
-  - You are documenting provider auth or deployment environments
-title: "Environment Variables"
----
-
-# Environment variables
-
-OpenClaw pulls environment variables from multiple sources. The rule is **never override existing values**.
-
-## Precedence (highest → lowest)
-
-1. **Process environment** (what the Gateway process already has from the parent shell/daemon).
-2. **`.env` in the current working directory** (dotenv default; does not override).
-3. **Global `.env`** at `~/.openclaw/.env` (aka `$OPENCLAW_STATE_DIR/.env`; does not override).
-4. **Config `env` block** in `~/.openclaw/openclaw.json` (applied only if missing).
-5. **Optional login-shell import** (`env.shellEnv.enabled` or `OPENCLAW_LOAD_SHELL_ENV=1`), applied only for missing expected keys.
-
-If the config file is missing entirely, step 4 is skipped; shell import still runs if enabled.
-
-## Config `env` block
-
-Two equivalent ways to set inline env vars (both are non-overriding):
-
-```json5
-{
-  env: {
-    OPENROUTER_API_KEY: "sk-or-...",
-    vars: {
-      GROQ_API_KEY: "gsk-...",
-    },
-  },
-}
-```
-
-## Shell env import
-
-`env.shellEnv` runs your login shell and imports only **missing** expected keys:
-
-```json5
-{
-  env: {
-    shellEnv: {
-      enabled: true,
-      timeoutMs: 15000,
-    },
-  },
-}
-```
-
-Env var equivalents:
-
-- `OPENCLAW_LOAD_SHELL_ENV=1`
-- `OPENCLAW_SHELL_ENV_TIMEOUT_MS=15000`
-
-## Env var substitution in config
-
-You can reference env vars directly in config string values using `${VAR_NAME}` syntax:
-
-```json5
-{
-  models: {
-    providers: {
-      "vercel-gateway": {
-        apiKey: "${VERCEL_GATEWAY_API_KEY}",
-      },
-    },
-  },
-}
-```
-
-See [Configuration: Env var substitution](/gateway/configuration#env-var-substitution-in-config) for full details.

+summary: "Plan: isolate browser act:evaluate from Playwright queue using CDP, with end-to-end deadlines and safer ref resolution"
+owner: "openclaw"
+status: "draft"
+last_updated: "2026-02-10"
+title: "Browser Evaluate CDP Refactor"
+---
+
+# Browser Evaluate CDP Refactor Plan
+
+## Context
+
+`act:evaluate` executes user provided JavaScript in the page. Today it runs via Playwright
+(`page.evaluate` or `locator.evaluate`). Playwright serializes CDP commands per page, so a
+stuck or long running evaluate can block the page command queue and make every later action
+on that tab look "stuck".
+
+PR #13498 adds a pragmatic safety net (bounded evaluate, abort propagation, and best-effort
+recovery). This document describes a larger refactor that makes `act:evaluate` inherently
+isolated from Playwright so a stuck evaluate cannot wedge normal Playwright operations.
+
+## Goals
+
+- `act:evaluate` cannot permanently block later browser actions on the same tab.
+- Timeouts are single source of truth end to end so a caller can rely on a budget.
+- Abort and timeout are treated the same way across HTTP and in-process dispatch.
+- Element targeting for evaluate is supported without switching everything off Playwright.
+- Maintain backward compatibility for existing callers and payloads.
+
+## Non-goals
+
+- Replace all browser actions (click, type, wait, etc.) with CDP implementations.
+- Remove the existing safety net introduced in PR #13498 (it remains a useful fallback).
+- Introduce new unsafe capabilities beyond the existing `browser.evaluateEnabled` gate.
+- Add process isolation (worker process/thread) for evaluate. If we still see hard to recover
+  stuck states after this refactor, that is a follow-up idea.
+
+## Current Architecture (Why It Gets Stuck)
+
+At a high level:
+
+- Callers send `act:evaluate` to the browser control service.
+- The route handler calls into Playwright to execute the JavaScript.
+- Playwright serializes page commands, so an evaluate that never finishes blocks the queue.
+- A stuck queue means later click/type/wait operations on the tab can appear to hang.
+
+## Proposed Architecture
+
+### 1. Deadline Propagation
+
+Introduce a single budget concept and derive everything from it:
+
+- Caller sets `timeoutMs` (or a deadline in the future).
+- The outer request timeout, route handler logic, and the execution budget inside the page
+  all use the same budget, with small headroom where needed for serialization overhead.
+- Abort is propagated as an `AbortSignal` everywhere so cancellation is consistent.
+
+Implementation direction:
+
+- Add a small helper (for example `createBudget({ timeoutMs, signal })`) that returns:
+  - `signal`: the linked AbortSignal
+  - `deadlineAtMs`: absolute deadline
+  - `remainingMs()`: remaining budget for child operations
+- Use this helper in:
+  - `src/browser/client-fetch.ts` (HTTP and in-process dispatch)
+  - `src/node-host/runner.ts` (proxy path)
+  - browser action implementations (Playwright and CDP)
+
+### 2. Separate Evaluate Engine (CDP Path)
+
+Add a CDP based evaluate implementation that does not share Playwright's per page command
+queue. The key property is that the evaluate transport is a separate WebSocket connection
+and a separate CDP session attached to the target.
+
+Implementation direction:
+
+- New module, for example `src/browser/cdp-evaluate.ts`, that:
+  - Connects to the configured CDP endpoint (browser level socket).
+  - Uses `Target.attachToTarget({ targetId, flatten: true })` to get a `sessionId`.
+  - Runs either:
+    - `Runtime.evaluate` for page level evaluate, or
+    - `DOM.resolveNode` plus `Runtime.callFunctionOn` for element evaluate.
+  - On timeout or abort:
+    - Sends `Runtime.terminateExecution` best-effort for the session.
+    - Closes the WebSocket and returns a clear error.
+
+Notes:
+
+- This still executes JavaScript in the page, so termination can have side effects. The win
+  is that it does not wedge the Playwright queue, and it is cancelable at the transport
+  layer by killing the CDP session.
+
+### 3. Ref Story (Element Targeting Without A Full Rewrite)
+
+The hard part is element targeting. CDP needs a DOM handle or `backendDOMNodeId`, while
+today most browser actions use Playwright locators based on refs from snapshots.
+
+Recommended approach: keep existing refs, but attach an optional CDP resolvable id.
+
+#### 3.1 Extend Stored Ref Info
+
+Extend the stored role ref metadata to optionally include a CDP id:
+
+- Today: `{ role, name, nth }`
+- Proposed: `{ role, name, nth, backendDOMNodeId?: number }`
+
+This keeps all existing Playwright based actions working and allows CDP evaluate to accept
+the same `ref` value when the `backendDOMNodeId` is available.
+
+#### 3.2 Populate backendDOMNodeId At Snapshot Time
+
+When producing a role snapshot:
+
+1. Generate the existing role ref map as today (role, name, nth).
+2. Fetch the AX tree via CDP (`Accessibility.getFullAXTree`) and compute a parallel map of
+   `(role, name, nth) -> backendDOMNodeId` using the same duplicate handling rules.
+3. Merge the id back into the stored ref info for the current tab.
+
+If mapping fails for a ref, leave `backendDOMNodeId` undefined. This makes the feature
+best-effort and safe to roll out.
+
+#### 3.3 Evaluate Behavior With Ref
+
+In `act:evaluate`:
+
+- If `ref` is present and has `backendDOMNodeId`, run element evaluate via CDP.
+- If `ref` is present but has no `backendDOMNodeId`, fall back to the Playwright path (with
+  the safety net).
+
+Optional escape hatch:
+
+- Extend the request shape to accept `backendDOMNodeId` directly for advanced callers (and
+  for debugging), while keeping `ref` as the primary interface.
+
+### 4. Keep A Last Resort Recovery Path
+
+Even with CDP evaluate, there are other ways to wedge a tab or a connection. Keep the
+existing recovery mechanisms (terminate execution + disconnect Playwright) as a last resort
+for:
+
+- legacy callers
+- environments where CDP attach is blocked
+- unexpected Playwright edge cases
+
+## Implementation Plan (Single Iteration)
+
+### Deliverables
+
+- A CDP based evaluate engine that runs outside the Playwright per-page command queue.
+- A single end-to-end timeout/abort budget used consistently by callers and handlers.
+- Ref metadata that can optionally carry `backendDOMNodeId` for element evaluate.
+- `act:evaluate` prefers the CDP engine when possible and falls back to Playwright when not.
+- Tests that prove a stuck evaluate does not wedge later actions.
+- Logs/metrics that make failures and fallbacks visible.
+
+### Implementation Checklist
+
+1. Add a shared "budget" helper to link `timeoutMs` + upstream `AbortSignal` into:
+   - a single `AbortSignal`
+   - an absolute deadline
+   - a `remainingMs()` helper for downstream operations
+2. Update all caller paths to use that helper so `timeoutMs` means the same thing everywhere:
+   - `src/browser/client-fetch.ts` (HTTP and in-process dispatch)
+   - `src/node-host/runner.ts` (node proxy path)
+   - CLI wrappers that call `/act` (add `--timeout-ms` to `browser evaluate`)
+3. Implement `src/browser/cdp-evaluate.ts`:
+   - connect to the browser-level CDP socket
+   - `Target.attachToTarget` to get a `sessionId`
+   - run `Runtime.evaluate` for page evaluate
+   - run `DOM.resolveNode` + `Runtime.callFunctionOn` for element evaluate
+   - on timeout/abort: best-effort `Runtime.terminateExecution` then close the socket
+4. Extend stored role ref metadata to optionally include `backendDOMNodeId`:
+   - keep existing `{ role, name, nth }` behavior for Playwright actions
+   - add `backendDOMNodeId?: number` for CDP element targeting
+5. Populate `backendDOMNodeId` during snapshot creation (best-effort):
+   - fetch AX tree via CDP (`Accessibility.getFullAXTree`)
+   - compute `(role, name, nth) -> backendDOMNodeId` and merge into the stored ref map
+   - if mapping is ambiguous or missing, leave the id undefined
+6. Update `act:evaluate` routing:
+   - if no `ref`: always use CDP evaluate
+   - if `ref` resolves to a `backendDOMNodeId`: use CDP element evaluate
+   - otherwise: fall back to Playwright evaluate (still bounded and abortable)
+7. Keep the existing "last resort" recovery path as a fallback, not the default path.
+8. Add tests:
+   - stuck evaluate times out within budget and the next click/type succeeds
+   - abort cancels evaluate (client disconnect or timeout) and unblocks subsequent actions
+   - mapping failures cleanly fall back to Playwright
+9. Add observability:
+   - evaluate duration and timeout counters
+   - terminateExecution usage
+   - fallback rate (CDP -> Playwright) and reasons
+
+### Acceptance Criteria
+
+- A deliberately hung `act:evaluate` returns within the caller budget and does not wedge the
+  tab for later actions.
+- `timeoutMs` behaves consistently across CLI, agent tool, node proxy, and in-process calls.
+- If `ref` can be mapped to `backendDOMNodeId`, element evaluate uses CDP; otherwise the
+  fallback path is still bounded and recoverable.
+
+## Testing Plan
+
+- Unit tests:
+  - `(role, name, nth)` matching logic between role refs and AX tree nodes.
+  - Budget helper behavior (headroom, remaining time math).
+- Integration tests:
+  - CDP evaluate timeout returns within budget and does not block the next action.
+  - Abort cancels evaluate and triggers termination best-effort.
+- Contract tests:
+  - Ensure `BrowserActRequest` and `BrowserActResponse` remain compatible.
+
+## Risks And Mitigations
+
+- Mapping is imperfect:
+  - Mitigation: best-effort mapping, fallback to Playwright evaluate, and add debug tooling.
+- `Runtime.terminateExecution` has side effects:
+  - Mitigation: only use on timeout/abort and document the behavior in errors.
+- Extra overhead:
+  - Mitigation: only fetch AX tree when snapshots are requested, cache per target, and keep
+    CDP session short lived.
+- Extension relay limitations:
+  - Mitigation: use browser level attach APIs when per page sockets are not available, and
+    keep the current Playwright path as fallback.
+
+## Open Questions
+
+- Should the new engine be configurable as `playwright`, `cdp`, or `auto`?
+- Do we want to expose a new "nodeRef" format for advanced users, or keep `ref` only?
+- How should frame snapshots and selector scoped snapshots participate in AX mapping?

+# Configuration Reference
+
+Every field available in `~/.openclaw/openclaw.json`. For a task-oriented overview, see [Configuration](/gateway/configuration).
+
+Config format is **JSON5** (comments + trailing commas allowed). All fields are optional — OpenClaw uses safe defaults when omitted.
+
+---
+
+## Channels
+
+Each channel starts automatically when its config section exists (unless `enabled: false`).
+
+### DM and group access
+
+All channels support DM policies and group policies:
+
+| DM policy           | Behavior                                                        |
+| ------------------- | --------------------------------------------------------------- |
+| `pairing` (default) | Unknown senders get a one-time pairing code; owner must approve |
+| `allowlist`         | Only senders in `allowFrom` (or paired allow store)             |
+| `open`              | Allow all inbound DMs (requires `allowFrom: ["*"]`)             |
+| `disabled`          | Ignore all inbound DMs                                          |
+
+| Group policy          | Behavior                                               |
+| --------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------ |
+| `allowlist` (default) | Only groups matching the configured allowlist          |
+| `open`                | Bypass group allowlists (mention-gating still applies) |
+| `disabled`            | Block all group/room messages                          |
+
+<Note>
+`channels.defaults.groupPolicy` sets the default when a provider's `groupPolicy` is unset.
+Pairing codes expire after 1 hour. Pending DM pairing requests are capped at **3 per channel**.
+Slack/Discord have a special fallback: if their provider section is missing entirely, runtime group policy can resolve to `open` (with a startup warning).
+</Note>
+
+### WhatsApp
+
+WhatsApp runs through the gateway's web channel (Baileys Web). It starts automatically when a linked session exists.

+- **Socket mode** requires both `botToken` and `appToken` (`SLACK_BOT_TOKEN` + `SLACK_APP_TOKEN` for default account env fallback).
+- **HTTP mode** requires `botToken` plus `signingSecret` (at root or per-account).
+- `configWrites: false` blocks Slack-initiated config writes.
+- Use `user:<id>` (DM) or `channel:<id>` for delivery targets.
+
+**Reaction notification modes:** `off`, `own` (default), `all`, `allowlist` (from `reactionAllowlist`).
+
+**Thread session isolation:** `thread.historyScope` is per-thread (default) or shared across channel. `thread.inheritParent` copies parent channel transcript to new threads.

+
+### Mattermost
+
+Mattermost ships as a plugin: `openclaw plugins install @openclaw/mattermost`.
+
+```json5
+{
+  channels: {
+    mattermost: {
+      enabled: true,
+      botToken: "mm-token",
+      baseUrl: "https://chat.example.com",
+      dmPolicy: "pairing",
+      chatmode: "oncall", // oncall | onmessage | onchar
+      oncharPrefixes: [">", "!"],
+      textChunkLimit: 4000,
+      chunkMode: "length",
+    },
+  },
+}
+```
+
+Chat modes: `oncall` (respond on @-mention, default), `onmessage` (every message), `onchar` (messages starting with trigger prefix).
+
+### Signal
+
+```json5
+{
+  channels: {
+    signal: {
+      reactionNotifications: "own", // off | own | all | allowlist
+      reactionAllowlist: ["+15551234567", "uuid:123e4567-e89b-12d3-a456-426614174000"],
+      historyLimit: 50,
+    },
+  },
+}
+```
+
+**Reaction notification modes:** `off`, `own` (default), `all`, `allowlist` (from `reactionAllowlist`).
+
+### iMessage
+
+OpenClaw spawns `imsg rpc` (JSON-RPC over stdio). No daemon or port required.
+
+```json5
+{
+  channels: {
+    imessage: {
+      enabled: true,
+      cliPath: "imsg",
+      dbPath: "~/Library/Messages/chat.db",
+      remoteHost: "user@gateway-host",
+      dmPolicy: "pairing",
+      allowFrom: ["+15555550123", "user@example.com", "chat_id:123"],
+      historyLimit: 50,
+      includeAttachments: false,
+      mediaMaxMb: 16,
+      service: "auto",
+      region: "US",
+    },
+  },
+}
+```
+
+- Requires Full Disk Access to the Messages DB.
+- Prefer `chat_id:<id>` targets. Use `imsg chats --limit 20` to list chats.
+- `cliPath` can point to an SSH wrapper; set `remoteHost` for SCP attachment fetching.
+
+<Accordion title="iMessage SSH wrapper example">
+
+```bash
+#!/usr/bin/env bash
+exec ssh -T gateway-host imsg "$@"
+```
+
+</Accordion>
+
+### Multi-account (all channels)
+
+Run multiple accounts per channel (each with its own `accountId`):
+
+```json5
+{
+  channels: {
+    telegram: {
+      accounts: {
+        default: {
+          name: "Primary bot",
+          botToken: "123456:ABC...",
+        },
+        alerts: {
+          name: "Alerts bot",
+          botToken: "987654:XYZ...",
+        },
+      },
+    },
+  },
+}
+```
+
+- `default` is used when `accountId` is omitted (CLI + routing).
+- Env tokens only apply to the **default** account.
+- Base channel settings apply to all accounts unless overridden per account.
+- Use `bindings[].match.accountId` to route each account to a different agent.
+
+### Group chat mention gating
+
+Group messages default to **require mention** (metadata mention or regex patterns). Applies to WhatsApp, Telegram, Discord, Google Chat, and iMessage group chats.
+
+**Mention types:**
+
+- **Metadata mentions**: Native platform @-mentions. Ignored in WhatsApp self-chat mode.
+- **Text patterns**: Regex patterns in `agents.list[].groupChat.mentionPatterns`. Always checked.
+- Mention gating is enforced only when detection is possible (native mentions or at least one pattern).
+
+```json5
+{
+  messages: {
+    groupChat: { historyLimit: 50 },
+  },
+  agents: {
+    list: [{ id: "main", groupChat: { mentionPatterns: ["@openclaw", "openclaw"] } }],
+  },
+}
+```
+
+`messages.groupChat.historyLimit` sets the global default. Channels can override with `channels.<channel>.historyLimit` (or per-account). Set `0` to disable.
+
+#### DM history limits
+
+```json5
+{
+  channels: {
+    telegram: {
+      dmHistoryLimit: 30,
+      dms: {
+        "123456789": { historyLimit: 50 },
+      },
+    },
+  },
+}
+```
+
+Resolution: per-DM override → provider default → no limit (all retained).
+
+Supported: `telegram`, `whatsapp`, `discord`, `slack`, `signal`, `imessage`, `msteams`.
+
+#### Self-chat mode
+
+Include your own number in `allowFrom` to enable self-chat mode (ignores native @-mentions, only responds to text patterns):
+
+```json5
+{
+  channels: {
+    whatsapp: {
+      allowFrom: ["+15555550123"],
+      groups: { "*": { requireMention: true } },
+    },
+  },
+  agents: {
+    list: [
+      {
+        id: "main",
+        groupChat: { mentionPatterns: ["reisponde", "@openclaw"] },
+      },
+    ],
+  },
+}
+```
+
+### Commands (chat command handling)
+
+```json5
+{
+  commands: {
+    native: "auto", // register native commands when supported
+    text: true, // parse /commands in chat messages
+    bash: false, // allow ! (alias: /bash)
+    bashForegroundMs: 2000,
+    config: false, // allow /config
+    debug: false, // allow /debug
+    restart: false, // allow /restart + gateway restart tool
+    allowFrom: {
+      "*": ["user1"],
+      discord: ["user:123"],
+    },
+    useAccessGroups: true,
+  },
+}
+```
+
+<Accordion title="Command details">
+
+- Text commands must be **standalone** messages with leading `/`.
+- `native: "auto"` turns on native commands for Discord/Telegram, leaves Slack off.
+- Override per channel: `channels.discord.commands.native` (bool or `"auto"`). `false` clears previously registered commands.
+- `channels.telegram.customCommands` adds extra Telegram bot menu entries.
+- `bash: true` enables `! <cmd>` for host shell. Requires `tools.elevated.enabled` and sender in `tools.elevated.allowFrom.<channel>`.
+- `config: true` enables `/config` (reads/writes `openclaw.json`).
+- `channels.<provider>.configWrites` gates config mutations per channel (default: true).
+- `allowFrom` is per-provider. When set, it is the **only** authorization source (channel allowlists/pairing and `useAccessGroups` are ignored).
+- `useAccessGroups: false` allows commands to bypass access-group policies when `allowFrom` is not set.

+## Agent defaults
+
+### `agents.defaults.workspace`
+
+Default: `~/.openclaw/workspace`.
+
+```json5
+{
+  agents: { defaults: { workspace: "~/.openclaw/workspace" } },
+}
+```
+
+### `agents.defaults.repoRoot`
+
+Optional repository root shown in the system prompt's Runtime line. If unset, OpenClaw auto-detects by walking upward from the workspace.
+
+```json5
+{
+  agents: { defaults: { repoRoot: "~/Projects/openclaw" } },
+}
+```
+
+### `agents.defaults.skipBootstrap`
+
+Disables automatic creation of workspace bootstrap files (`AGENTS.md`, `SOUL.md`, `TOOLS.md`, `IDENTITY.md`, `USER.md`, `HEARTBEAT.md`, `BOOTSTRAP.md`).
+
+```json5
+{
+  agents: { defaults: { skipBootstrap: true } },
+}
+```
+
+### `agents.defaults.bootstrapMaxChars`
+
+Max characters per workspace bootstrap file before truncation. Default: `20000`.
+
+```json5
+{
+  agents: { defaults: { bootstrapMaxChars: 20000 } },
+}
+```
+
+### `agents.defaults.bootstrapTotalMaxChars`
+
+Max total characters injected across all workspace bootstrap files. Default: `24000`.
+
+```json5
+{
+  agents: { defaults: { bootstrapTotalMaxChars: 24000 } },
+}
+```
+
+### `agents.defaults.userTimezone`
+
+Timezone for system prompt context (not message timestamps). Falls back to host timezone.
+
+```json5
+{
+  agents: { defaults: { userTimezone: "America/Chicago" } },
+}
+```
+
+### `agents.defaults.timeFormat`
+
+Time format in system prompt. Default: `auto` (OS preference).
+
+```json5
+{
+  agents: { defaults: { timeFormat: "auto" } }, // auto | 12 | 24
+}
+```
+
+### `agents.defaults.model`
+
+```json5
+{
+  agents: {
+    defaults: {
+      models: {
+        "anthropic/claude-opus-4-6": { alias: "opus" },
+        "minimax/MiniMax-M2.1": { alias: "minimax" },
+      },

+      },
+      imageModel: {
+        primary: "openrouter/qwen/qwen-2.5-vl-72b-instruct:free",

+      contextTokens: 200000,
+      maxConcurrent: 3,
+    },
+  },
+}
+```
+
+- `model.primary`: format `provider/model` (e.g. `anthropic/claude-opus-4-6`). If you omit the provider, OpenClaw assumes `anthropic` (deprecated).
+- `models`: the configured model catalog and allowlist for `/model`. Each entry can include `alias` (shortcut) and `params` (provider-specific: `temperature`, `maxTokens`).
+- `imageModel`: only used if the primary model lacks image input.
+- `maxConcurrent`: max parallel agent runs across sessions (each session still serialized). Default: 1.
+
+**Built-in alias shorthands** (only apply when the model is in `agents.defaults.models`):
+
+| Alias          | Model                           |
+| -------------- | ------------------------------- |
+| `opus`         | `anthropic/claude-opus-4-6`     |
+| `sonnet`       | `anthropic/claude-sonnet-4-5`   |
+| `gpt`          | `openai/gpt-5.2`                |
+| `gpt-mini`     | `openai/gpt-5-mini`             |
+| `gemini`       | `google/gemini-3-pro-preview`   |
+| `gemini-flash` | `google/gemini-3-flash-preview` |
+
+Your configured aliases always win over defaults.
+
+Z.AI GLM-4.x models automatically enable thinking mode unless you set `--thinking off` or define `agents.defaults.models["zai/<model>"].params.thinking` yourself.
+
+### `agents.defaults.cliBackends`
+
+Optional CLI backends for text-only fallback runs (no tool calls). Useful as a backup when API providers fail.
+
+```json5
+{
+  agents: {
+    defaults: {
+      cliBackends: {
+        "claude-cli": {
+          command: "/opt/homebrew/bin/claude",
+        },
+        "my-cli": {
+          command: "my-cli",
+          args: ["--json"],
+          output: "json",
+          modelArg: "--model",
+          sessionArg: "--session",
+          sessionMode: "existing",
+          systemPromptArg: "--system",
+          systemPromptWhen: "first",
+          imageArg: "--image",
+          imageMode: "repeat",
+        },
+      },
+    },
+  },
+}
+```
+
+- CLI backends are text-first; tools are always disabled.
+- Sessions supported when `sessionArg` is set.
+- Image pass-through supported when `imageArg` accepts file paths.
+
+### `agents.defaults.heartbeat`
+
+Periodic heartbeat runs.
+
+```json5
+{
+  agents: {
+    defaults: {
+      heartbeat: {
+        every: "30m", // 0m disables
+        model: "openai/gpt-5.2-mini",
+        includeReasoning: false,
+        session: "main",
+        to: "+15555550123",
+        target: "last", // last | whatsapp | telegram | discord | ... | none
+        prompt: "Read HEARTBEAT.md if it exists...",
+        ackMaxChars: 300,
+      },
+    },
+  },
+}
+```
+
+- `every`: duration string (ms/s/m/h). Default: `30m`.
+- Per-agent: set `agents.list[].heartbeat`. When any agent defines `heartbeat`, **only those agents** run heartbeats.
+- Heartbeats run full agent turns — shorter intervals burn more tokens.
+
+### `agents.defaults.compaction`
+
+```json5
+{
+  agents: {
+    defaults: {
+      compaction: {
+        mode: "safeguard", // default | safeguard
+        reserveTokensFloor: 24000,
+        memoryFlush: {
+          enabled: true,
+          softThresholdTokens: 6000,
+          systemPrompt: "Session nearing compaction. Store durable memories now.",
+          prompt: "Write any lasting notes to memory/YYYY-MM-DD.md; reply with NO_REPLY if nothing to store.",
+        },
+      },
+    },
+  },
+}
+```
+
+- `mode`: `default` or `safeguard` (chunked summarization for long histories). See [Compaction](/concepts/compaction).
+- `memoryFlush`: silent agentic turn before auto-compaction to store durable memories. Skipped when workspace is read-only.
+
+### `agents.defaults.contextPruning`
+
+Prunes **old tool results** from in-memory context before sending to the LLM. Does **not** modify session history on disk.
+
+```json5
+{
+  agents: {
+    defaults: {
+      contextPruning: {
+        mode: "cache-ttl", // off | cache-ttl
+        ttl: "1h", // duration (ms/s/m/h), default unit: minutes
+        keepLastAssistants: 3,
+        softTrimRatio: 0.3,
+        hardClearRatio: 0.5,
+        minPrunableToolChars: 50000,
+        softTrim: { maxChars: 4000, headChars: 1500, tailChars: 1500 },
+        hardClear: { enabled: true, placeholder: "[Old tool result content cleared]" },
+        tools: { deny: ["browser", "canvas"] },
+      },
+    },
+  },
+}
+```
+
+<Accordion title="cache-ttl mode behavior">
+
+- `mode: "cache-ttl"` enables pruning passes.
+- `ttl` controls how often pruning can run again (after the last cache touch).
+- Pruning soft-trims oversized tool results first, then hard-clears older tool results if needed.
+
+**Soft-trim** keeps beginning + end and inserts `...` in the middle.
+
+**Hard-clear** replaces the entire tool result with the placeholder.
+
+Notes:
+
+- Image blocks are never trimmed/cleared.
+- Ratios are character-based (approximate), not exact token counts.
+- If fewer than `keepLastAssistants` assistant messages exist, pruning is skipped.
+
+</Accordion>
+
+See [Session Pruning](/concepts/session-pruning) for behavior details.
+
+### Block streaming
+
+```json5
+{
+  agents: {
+    defaults: {
+      blockStreamingDefault: "off", // on | off
+      blockStreamingBreak: "text_end", // text_end | message_end
+      blockStreamingChunk: { minChars: 800, maxChars: 1200 },
+      blockStreamingCoalesce: { idleMs: 1000 },
+      humanDelay: { mode: "natural" }, // off | natural | custom (use minMs/maxMs)
+    },
+  },
+}
+```
+
+- Non-Telegram channels require explicit `*.blockStreaming: true` to enable block replies.
+- Channel overrides: `channels.<channel>.blockStreamingCoalesce` (and per-account variants). Signal/Slack/Discord/Google Chat default `minChars: 1500`.
+- `humanDelay`: randomized pause between block replies. `natural` = 800–2500ms. Per-agent override: `agents.list[].humanDelay`.
+
+See [Streaming](/concepts/streaming) for behavior + chunking details.
+
+### Typing indicators
+
+```json5
+{
+  agents: {
+    defaults: {
+      typingMode: "instant", // never | instant | thinking | message
+      typingIntervalSeconds: 6,
+    },
+  },
+}
+```
+
+- Defaults: `instant` for direct chats/mentions, `message` for unmentioned group chats.
+- Per-session overrides: `session.typingMode`, `session.typingIntervalSeconds`.
+
+See [Typing Indicators](/concepts/typing-indicators).
+
+### `agents.defaults.sandbox`

+
+**Scope:**
+
+- `session`: per-session container + workspace
+- `agent`: one container + workspace per agent (default)
+- `shared`: shared container and workspace (no cross-session isolation)
+
+**`setupCommand`** runs once after container creation (via `sh -lc`). Needs network egress, writable root, root user.
+
+**Containers default to `network: "none"`** — set to `"bridge"` if the agent needs outbound access.
+
+**Inbound attachments** are staged into `media/inbound/*` in the active workspace.
+
+**`docker.binds`** mounts additional host directories; global and per-agent binds are merged.
+
+**Sandboxed browser** (`sandbox.browser.enabled`): Chromium + CDP in a container. noVNC URL injected into system prompt. Does not require `browser.enabled` in main config.
+
+- `allowHostControl: false` (default) blocks sandboxed sessions from targeting the host browser.
+- `sandbox.browser.binds` mounts additional host directories into the sandbox browser container only. When set (including `[]`), it replaces `docker.binds` for the browser container.

+- `id`: stable agent id (required).
+- `default`: when multiple are set, first wins (warning logged). If none set, first list entry is default.
+- `model`: string form overrides `primary` only; object form `{ primary, fallbacks }` overrides both (`[]` disables global fallbacks).
+- `identity.avatar`: workspace-relative path, `http(s)` URL, or `data:` URI.
+- `identity` derives defaults: `ackReaction` from `emoji`, `mentionPatterns` from `name`/`emoji`.
+- `subagents.allowAgents`: allowlist of agent ids for `sessions_spawn` (`["*"]` = any; default: same agent only).

+    { agentId: "work", match: { channel: "whatsapp", accountId: "biz" } },
+  ],
+}
+```
+
+### Binding match fields
+
+- `match.channel` (required)
+- `match.accountId` (optional; `*` = any account; omitted = default account)
+- `match.peer` (optional; `{ kind: direct|group|channel, id }`)
+- `match.guildId` / `match.teamId` (optional; channel-specific)
+
+**Deterministic match order:**
+
+1. `match.peer`
+2. `match.guildId`
+3. `match.teamId`
+4. `match.accountId` (exact, no peer/guild/team)
+5. `match.accountId: "*"` (channel-wide)
+6. Default agent
+
+Within each tier, the first matching `bindings` entry wins.

+```
+
+### Response prefix
+
+Per-channel/account overrides: `channels.<channel>.responsePrefix`, `channels.<channel>.accounts.<id>.responsePrefix`.
+
+Resolution (most specific wins): account → channel → global. `""` disables and stops cascade. `"auto"` derives `[{identity.name}]`.
+
+**Template variables:**
+
+| Variable          | Description            | Example                     |
+| ----------------- | ---------------------- | --------------------------- |
+| `{model}`         | Short model name       | `claude-opus-4-6`           |
+| `{modelFull}`     | Full model identifier  | `anthropic/claude-opus-4-6` |
+| `{provider}`      | Provider name          | `anthropic`                 |
+| `{thinkingLevel}` | Current thinking level | `high`, `low`, `off`        |
+| `{identity.name}` | Agent identity name    | (same as `"auto"`)          |
+
+Variables are case-insensitive. `{think}` is an alias for `{thinkingLevel}`.
+
+### Ack reaction
+
+- Defaults to active agent's `identity.emoji`, otherwise `"👀"`. Set `""` to disable.
+- Per-channel overrides: `channels.<channel>.ackReaction`, `channels.<channel>.accounts.<id>.ackReaction`.
+- Resolution order: account → channel → `messages.ackReaction` → identity fallback.
+- Scope: `group-mentions` (default), `group-all`, `direct`, `all`.
+- `removeAckAfterReply`: removes ack after reply (Slack/Discord/Telegram/Google Chat only).
+
+### Inbound debounce
+
+Batches rapid text-only messages from the same sender into a single agent turn. Media/attachments flush immediately. Control commands bypass debouncing.
+

+
+- `auto` controls auto-TTS. `/tts off|always|inbound|tagged` overrides per session.
+- `summaryModel` overrides `agents.defaults.model.primary` for auto-summary.
+- API keys fall back to `ELEVENLABS_API_KEY`/`XI_API_KEY` and `OPENAI_API_KEY`.
+

+
+## Talk
+
+Defaults for Talk mode (macOS/iOS/Android).

+```
+
+- Voice IDs fall back to `ELEVENLABS_VOICE_ID` or `SAG_VOICE_ID`.
+- `apiKey` falls back to `ELEVENLABS_API_KEY`.
+- `voiceAliases` lets Talk directives use friendly names.

+
+### `tools.allow` / `tools.deny`
+
+Global tool allow/deny policy (deny wins). Case-insensitive, supports `*` wildcards. Applied even when Docker sandbox is off.
+
+```json5
+{
+  tools: { deny: ["browser", "canvas"] },
+}
+```
+
+### `tools.byProvider`
+
+Further restrict tools for specific providers or models. Order: base profile → provider profile → allow/deny.
+
+```json5
+{
+  tools: {
+    profile: "coding",
+    byProvider: {
+      "google-antigravity": { profile: "minimal" },
+      "openai/gpt-5.2": { allow: ["group:fs", "sessions_list"] },
+    },
+  },
+}
+```
+
+### `tools.elevated`
+
+Controls elevated (host) exec access:
+
+```json5
+{
+  tools: {
+    elevated: {
+      enabled: true,
+      allowFrom: {

+        discord: ["steipete", "1234567890123"],
+      },
+    },
+  },
+}
+```
+
+- Per-agent override (`agents.list[].tools.elevated`) can only further restrict.
+- `/elevated on|off|ask|full` stores state per session; inline directives apply to single message.
+- Elevated `exec` runs on the host, bypasses sandboxing.
+

+
+## Custom providers and base URLs
+
+OpenClaw uses the pi-coding-agent model catalog. Add custom providers via `models.providers` in config or `~/.openclaw/agents/<agentId>/agent/models.json`.
+
+```json5
+{
+  models: {
+    mode: "merge", // merge (default) | replace
+    providers: {
+      "custom-proxy": {
+        baseUrl: "http://localhost:4000/v1",
+        apiKey: "LITELLM_KEY",
+        api: "openai-completions", // openai-completions | openai-responses | anthropic-messages | google-generative-ai

+
+- Use `authHeader: true` + `headers` for custom auth needs.
+- Override agent config root with `OPENCLAW_AGENT_DIR` (or `PI_CODING_AGENT_DIR`).

+}
+```
+
+<Accordion title="Gateway field details">
+
+- `mode`: `local` (run gateway) or `remote` (connect to remote gateway). Gateway refuses to start unless `local`.
+- `port`: single multiplexed port for WS + HTTP. Precedence: `--port` > `OPENCLAW_GATEWAY_PORT` > `gateway.port` > `18789`.
+- `bind`: `auto`, `loopback` (default), `lan` (`0.0.0.0`), `tailnet` (Tailscale IP only), or `custom`.
+- **Auth**: required by default. Non-loopback binds require a shared token/password. Onboarding wizard generates a token by default.
+- `auth.mode: "trusted-proxy"`: delegate auth to an identity-aware reverse proxy and trust identity headers from `gateway.trustedProxies` (see [Trusted Proxy Auth](/gateway/trusted-proxy-auth)).
+- `auth.allowTailscale`: when `true`, Tailscale Serve identity headers satisfy auth (verified via `tailscale whois`). Defaults to `true` when `tailscale.mode = "serve"`.
+- `auth.rateLimit`: optional failed-auth limiter. Applies per client IP and per auth scope (shared-secret and device-token are tracked independently). Blocked attempts return `429` + `Retry-After`.
+  - `auth.rateLimit.exemptLoopback` defaults to `true`; set `false` when you intentionally want localhost traffic rate-limited too (for test setups or strict proxy deployments).
+- `tailscale.mode`: `serve` (tailnet only, loopback bind) or `funnel` (public, requires auth).
+- `remote.transport`: `ssh` (default) or `direct` (ws/wss). For `direct`, `remote.url` must be `ws://` or `wss://`.
+- `gateway.remote.token` is for remote CLI calls only; does not enable local gateway auth.
+- `trustedProxies`: reverse proxy IPs that terminate TLS. Only list proxies you control.
+- `gateway.tools.deny`: extra tool names blocked for HTTP `POST /tools/invoke` (extends default deny list).
+- `gateway.tools.allow`: remove tool names from the default HTTP deny list.
+
+</Accordion>
+
+### OpenAI-compatible endpoints
+
+- Chat Completions: disabled by default. Enable with `gateway.http.endpoints.chatCompletions.enabled: true`.
+- Responses API: `gateway.http.endpoints.responses.enabled`.
+- Responses URL-input hardening:
+  - `gateway.http.endpoints.responses.maxUrlParts`
+  - `gateway.http.endpoints.responses.files.urlAllowlist`
+  - `gateway.http.endpoints.responses.images.urlAllowlist`
+
+### Multi-instance isolation
+
+Run multiple gateways on one host with unique ports and state dirs:

+```bash
+OPENCLAW_CONFIG_PATH=~/.openclaw/a.json \
+OPENCLAW_STATE_DIR=~/.openclaw-a \
+openclaw gateway --port 19001
+```

+- `POST /hooks/agent` → `{ message, name?, agentId?, sessionKey?, wakeMode?, deliver?, channel?, to?, model?, thinking?, timeoutSeconds? }`
+  - `sessionKey` from request payload is accepted only when `hooks.allowRequestSessionKey=true` (default: `false`).
+- `POST /hooks/<name>` → resolved via `hooks.mappings`
+
+<Accordion title="Mapping details">
+
+- `match.path` matches sub-path after `/hooks` (e.g. `/hooks/gmail` → `gmail`).
+- `match.source` matches a payload field for generic paths.
+- Templates like `{{messages[0].subject}}` read from the payload.
+- `transform` can point to a JS/TS module returning a hook action.
+  - `transform.module` must be a relative path and stays within `hooks.transformsDir` (absolute paths and traversal are rejected).
+- `agentId` routes to a specific agent; unknown IDs fall back to default.
+- `allowedAgentIds`: restricts explicit routing (`*` or omitted = allow all, `[]` = deny all).
+- `defaultSessionKey`: optional fixed session key for hook agent runs without explicit `sessionKey`.
+- `allowRequestSessionKey`: allow `/hooks/agent` callers to set `sessionKey` (default: `false`).
+- `allowedSessionKeyPrefixes`: optional prefix allowlist for explicit `sessionKey` values (request + mapping), e.g. `["hook:"]`.
+- `deliver: true` sends final reply to a channel; `channel` defaults to `last`.
+- `model` overrides LLM for this hook run (must be allowed if model catalog is set).

+
+- Serves agent-editable HTML/CSS/JS and A2UI over HTTP under the Gateway port:
+  - `http://<gateway-host>:<gateway.port>/__openclaw__/canvas/`
+  - `http://<gateway-host>:<gateway.port>/__openclaw__/a2ui/`
+- Local-only: keep `gateway.bind: "loopback"` (default).
+- Non-loopback binds: canvas routes require Gateway auth (token/password/trusted-proxy), same as other Gateway HTTP surfaces.
+- Node WebViews typically don't send auth headers; after a node is paired and connected, the Gateway allows a private-IP fallback so the node can load canvas/A2UI without leaking secrets into URLs.
+- Injects live-reload client into served HTML.
+- Auto-creates starter `index.html` when empty.
+- Also serves A2UI at `/__openclaw__/a2ui/`.
+- Changes require a gateway restart.
+- Disable live reload for large directories or `EMFILE` errors.

+```
+
+- Inline env vars are only applied if the process env is missing the key.
+- `.env` files: CWD `.env` + `~/.openclaw/.env` (neither overrides existing vars).
+- `shellEnv`: imports missing expected keys from your login shell profile.
+- See [Environment](/help/environment) for full precedence.
+
+### Env var substitution
+
+Reference env vars in any config string with `${VAR_NAME}`:
+
+```json5
+{
+  gateway: {
+    auth: { token: "${OPENCLAW_GATEWAY_TOKEN}" },
+  },
+}
+```
+
+- Only uppercase names matched: `[A-Z_][A-Z0-9_]*`.
+- Missing/empty vars throw an error at config load.
+- Escape with `$${VAR}` for a literal `${VAR}`.
+- Works with `$include`.
+
+---
+
+## Auth storage
+
+```json5
+{
+  auth: {
+    profiles: {
+      "anthropic:me@example.com": { provider: "anthropic", mode: "oauth", email: "me@example.com" },
+      "anthropic:work": { provider: "anthropic", mode: "api_key" },
+    },
+    order: {
+      anthropic: ["anthropic:me@example.com", "anthropic:work"],
+    },
+  },
+}
+```
+
+- Per-agent auth profiles stored at `<agentDir>/auth-profiles.json`.
+- Legacy OAuth imports from `~/.openclaw/credentials/oauth.json`.
+- See [OAuth](/concepts/oauth).

+
+## Logging
+
+```json5
+{
+  logging: {
+    level: "info",
+    file: "/tmp/openclaw/openclaw.log",
+    consoleLevel: "info",
+    consoleStyle: "pretty", // pretty | compact | json
+    redactSensitive: "tools", // off | tools
+    redactPatterns: ["\\bTOKEN\\b\\s*[=:]\\s*([\"']?)([^\\s\"']+)\\1"],
+  },
+}
+```
+
+- Default log file: `/tmp/openclaw/openclaw-YYYY-MM-DD.log`.
+- Set `logging.file` for a stable path.
+- `consoleLevel` bumps to `debug` when `--verbose`.
+

+
+## Wizard
+
+Metadata written by CLI wizards (`onboard`, `configure`, `doctor`):
+
+```json5
+{
+  wizard: {
+    lastRunAt: "2026-01-01T00:00:00.000Z",
+    lastRunVersion: "2026.1.4",
+    lastRunCommit: "abc1234",
+    lastRunCommand: "configure",
+    lastRunMode: "local",
+  },
+}
+```
+
+---
+
+## Identity
+
+```json5
+{
+  agents: {
+    list: [
+      {
+        id: "main",
+        identity: {
+          name: "Samantha",
+          theme: "helpful sloth",
+          emoji: "🦥",
+          avatar: "avatars/samantha.png",
+        },
+      },
+    ],
+  },
+}
+```
+
+Written by the macOS onboarding assistant. Derives defaults:
+
+- `messages.ackReaction` from `identity.emoji` (falls back to 👀)
+- `mentionPatterns` from `identity.name`/`identity.emoji`
+- `avatar` accepts: workspace-relative path, `http(s)` URL, or `data:` URI
+
+---
+
+## Bridge (legacy, removed)
+
+Current builds no longer include the TCP bridge. Nodes connect over the Gateway WebSocket. `bridge.*` keys are no longer part of the config schema (validation fails until removed; `openclaw doctor --fix` can strip unknown keys).
+
+<Accordion title="Legacy bridge config (historical reference)">
+
+```json
+{
+  "bridge": {
+    "enabled": true,
+    "port": 18790,
+    "bind": "tailnet",
+    "tls": {
+      "enabled": true,
+      "autoGenerate": true
+    }
+  }
+}
+```
+
+</Accordion>
+
+---
+
+## Cron
+
+```json5
+{
+  cron: {
+    enabled: true,
+    maxConcurrentRuns: 2,
+    webhook: "https://example.invalid/cron-finished", // optional, must be http:// or https://
+    webhookToken: "replace-with-dedicated-token", // optional bearer token for outbound webhook auth
+    sessionRetention: "24h", // duration string or false
+  },
+}
+```
+
+- `sessionRetention`: how long to keep completed cron sessions before pruning. Default: `24h`.
+- `webhook`: finished-run webhook endpoint, only used when the job has `notify: true`.
+- `webhookToken`: dedicated bearer token for webhook auth, if omitted no auth header is sent.
+
+See [Cron Jobs](/automation/cron-jobs).
+
+---
+
+## Media model template variables
+
+Template placeholders expanded in `tools.media.*.models[].args`:
+
+| Variable           | Description                                       |

+| `{{Provider}}`     | Provider hint (whatsapp, telegram, discord, etc.) |
+

+
+## Config includes (`$include`)
+
+Split config into multiple files:
+
+```json5
+// ~/.openclaw/openclaw.json
+{
+  gateway: { port: 18789 },
+  agents: { $include: "./agents.json5" },
+  broadcast: {
+    $include: ["./clients/mueller.json5", "./clients/schmidt.json5"],
+  },
+}
+```
+
+**Merge behavior:**
+
+- Single file: replaces the containing object.
+- Array of files: deep-merged in order (later overrides earlier).
+- Sibling keys: merged after includes (override included values).
+- Nested includes: up to 10 levels deep.
+- Paths: relative (to the including file), absolute, or `../` parent references.
+- Errors: clear messages for missing files, parse errors, and circular includes.

-# Configuration 🔧
+# Configuration
 
-OpenClaw reads an optional **JSON5** config from `~/.openclaw/openclaw.json` (comments + trailing commas allowed).
+OpenClaw reads an optional <Tooltip tip="JSON5 supports comments and trailing commas">**JSON5**</Tooltip> config from `~/.openclaw/openclaw.json`.
 
-If the file is missing, OpenClaw uses safe-ish defaults (embedded Pi agent + per-sender sessions + workspace `~/.openclaw/workspace`). You usually only need a config to:
+If the file is missing, OpenClaw uses safe defaults. Common reasons to add a config:
 
-- restrict who can trigger the bot (`channels.whatsapp.allowFrom`, `channels.telegram.allowFrom`, etc.)
-- control group allowlists + mention behavior (`channels.whatsapp.groups`, `channels.telegram.groups`, `channels.discord.guilds`, `agents.list[].groupChat`)
-- customize message prefixes (`messages`)
-- set the agent's workspace (`agents.defaults.workspace` or `agents.list[].workspace`)
-- tune the embedded agent defaults (`agents.defaults`) and session behavior (`session`)
-- set per-agent identity (`agents.list[].identity`)
+- Connect channels and control who can message the bot
+- Set models, tools, sandboxing, or automation (cron, hooks)
+- Tune sessions, media, networking, or UI
 
-> **New to configuration?** Check out the [Configuration Examples](/gateway/configuration-examples) guide for complete examples with detailed explanations!
+See the [full reference](/gateway/configuration-reference) for every available field.
 
-## Strict config validation
+<Tip>
+**New to configuration?** Start with `openclaw onboard` for interactive setup, or check out the [Configuration Examples](/gateway/configuration-examples) guide for complete copy-paste configs.
+</Tip>
 
-OpenClaw only accepts configurations that fully match the schema.
-Unknown keys, malformed types, or invalid values cause the Gateway to **refuse to start** for safety.
-
-When validation fails:
-
-- The Gateway does not boot.
-- Only diagnostic commands are allowed (for example: `openclaw doctor`, `openclaw logs`, `openclaw health`, `openclaw status`, `openclaw service`, `openclaw help`).
-- Run `openclaw doctor` to see the exact issues.
-- Run `openclaw doctor --fix` (or `--yes`) to apply migrations/repairs.
-
-Doctor never writes changes unless you explicitly opt into `--fix`/`--yes`.
-
-## Schema + UI hints
-
-The Gateway exposes a JSON Schema representation of the config via `config.schema` for UI editors.
-The Control UI renders a form from this schema, with a **Raw JSON** editor as an escape hatch.
-
-Channel plugins and extensions can register schema + UI hints for their config, so channel settings
-stay schema-driven across apps without hard-coded forms.
-
-Hints (labels, grouping, sensitive fields) ship alongside the schema so clients can render
-better forms without hard-coding config knowledge.
-
-## Apply + restart (RPC)
-
-Use `config.apply` to validate + write the full config and restart the Gateway in one step.
-It writes a restart sentinel and pings the last active session after the Gateway comes back.
-
-Warning: `config.apply` replaces the **entire config**. If you want to change only a few keys,
-use `config.patch` or `openclaw config set`. Keep a backup of `~/.openclaw/openclaw.json`.
-
-Params:
-
-- `raw` (string) — JSON5 payload for the entire config
-- `baseHash` (optional) — config hash from `config.get` (required when a config already exists)
-- `sessionKey` (optional) — last active session key for the wake-up ping
-- `note` (optional) — note to include in the restart sentinel
-- `restartDelayMs` (optional) — delay before restart (default 2000)
-
-Example (via `gateway call`):
-
-```bash
-openclaw gateway call config.get --params '{}' # capture payload.hash
-openclaw gateway call config.apply --params '{
-  "raw": "{\\n  agents: { defaults: { workspace: \\"~/.openclaw/workspace\\" } }\\n}\\n",
-  "baseHash": "<hash-from-config.get>",
-  "sessionKey": "agent:main:whatsapp:dm:+15555550123",
-  "restartDelayMs": 1000
-}'
-```
-
-## Partial updates (RPC)
-
-Use `config.patch` to merge a partial update into the existing config without clobbering
-unrelated keys. It applies JSON merge patch semantics:
-
-- objects merge recursively
-- `null` deletes a key
-- arrays replace
-  Like `config.apply`, it validates, writes the config, stores a restart sentinel, and schedules
-  the Gateway restart (with an optional wake when `sessionKey` is provided).
-
-Params:
-
-- `raw` (string) — JSON5 payload containing just the keys to change
-- `baseHash` (required) — config hash from `config.get`
-- `sessionKey` (optional) — last active session key for the wake-up ping
-- `note` (optional) — note to include in the restart sentinel
-- `restartDelayMs` (optional) — delay before restart (default 2000)
-
-Example:
-
-```bash
-openclaw gateway call config.get --params '{}' # capture payload.hash
-openclaw gateway call config.patch --params '{
-  "raw": "{\\n  channels: { telegram: { groups: { \\"*\\": { requireMention: false } } } }\\n}\\n",
-  "baseHash": "<hash-from-config.get>",
-  "sessionKey": "agent:main:whatsapp:dm:+15555550123",
-  "restartDelayMs": 1000
-}'
-```
-
-## Minimal config (recommended starting point)
-
-```json5
-{
-  agents: { defaults: { workspace: "~/.openclaw/workspace" } },
-  channels: { whatsapp: { allowFrom: ["+15555550123"] } },
-}
-```
-
-Build the default image once with:
-
-```bash
-scripts/sandbox-setup.sh
-```
-
-## Self-chat mode (recommended for group control)
-
-To prevent the bot from responding to WhatsApp @-mentions in groups (only respond to specific text triggers):
-
-```json5
-{
-  agents: {
-    defaults: { workspace: "~/.openclaw/workspace" },
-    list: [
-      {
-        id: "main",
-        groupChat: { mentionPatterns: ["@openclaw", "reisponde"] },
-      },
-    ],
-  },
-  channels: {
-    whatsapp: {
-      // Allowlist is DMs only; including your own number enables self-chat mode.
-      allowFrom: ["+15555550123"],
-      groups: { "*": { requireMention: true } },
-    },
-  },
-}
-```
-
-## Config Includes (`$include`)
-
-Split your config into multiple files using the `$include` directive. This is useful for:
-
-- Organizing large configs (e.g., per-client agent definitions)
-- Sharing common settings across environments
-- Keeping sensitive configs separate
-
-### Basic usage
-
-```json5
-// ~/.openclaw/openclaw.json
-{
-  gateway: { port: 18789 },
-
-  // Include a single file (replaces the key's value)
-  agents: { $include: "./agents.json5" },
-
-  // Include multiple files (deep-merged in order)
-  broadcast: {
-    $include: ["./clients/mueller.json5", "./clients/schmidt.json5"],
-  },
-}
-```
-
-```json5
-// ~/.openclaw/agents.json5
-{
-  defaults: { sandbox: { mode: "all", scope: "session" } },
-  list: [{ id: "main", workspace: "~/.openclaw/workspace" }],
-}
-```
-
-### Merge behavior
-
-- **Single file**: Replaces the object containing `$include`
-- **Array of files**: Deep-merges files in order (later files override earlier ones)
-- **With sibling keys**: Sibling keys are merged after includes (override included values)
-- **Sibling keys + arrays/primitives**: Not supported (included content must be an object)
-
-```json5
-// Sibling keys override included values
-{
-  $include: "./base.json5", // { a: 1, b: 2 }
-  b: 99, // Result: { a: 1, b: 99 }
-}
-```
-
-### Nested includes
-
-Included files can themselves contain `$include` directives (up to 10 levels deep):
-
-```json5
-// clients/mueller.json5
-{
-  agents: { $include: "./mueller/agents.json5" },
-  broadcast: { $include: "./mueller/broadcast.json5" },
-}
-```
-
-### Path resolution
-
-- **Relative paths**: Resolved relative to the including file
-- **Absolute paths**: Used as-is
-- **Parent directories**: `../` references work as expected
-
-```json5
-{ "$include": "./sub/config.json5" }      // relative
-{ "$include": "/etc/openclaw/base.json5" } // absolute
-{ "$include": "../shared/common.json5" }   // parent dir
-```
-
-### Error handling
-
-- **Missing file**: Clear error with resolved path
-- **Parse error**: Shows which included file failed
-- **Circular includes**: Detected and reported with include chain
-
-### Example: Multi-client legal setup
-
-```json5
-// ~/.openclaw/openclaw.json
-{
-  gateway: { port: 18789, auth: { token: "secret" } },
-
-  // Common agent defaults
-  agents: {
-    defaults: {
-      sandbox: { mode: "all", scope: "session" },
-    },
-    // Merge agent lists from all clients
-    list: { $include: ["./clients/mueller/agents.json5", "./clients/schmidt/agents.json5"] },
-  },
-
-  // Merge broadcast configs
-  broadcast: {
-    $include: ["./clients/mueller/broadcast.json5", "./clients/schmidt/broadcast.json5"],
-  },
-
-  channels: { whatsapp: { groupPolicy: "allowlist" } },
-}
-```
-
-```json5
-// ~/.openclaw/clients/mueller/agents.json5
-[
-  { id: "mueller-transcribe", workspace: "~/clients/mueller/transcribe" },
-  { id: "mueller-docs", workspace: "~/clients/mueller/docs" },
-]
-```
-
-```json5
-// ~/.openclaw/clients/mueller/broadcast.json5
-{
-  "120363403215116621@g.us": ["mueller-transcribe", "mueller-docs"],
-}
-```
-
-## Common options
-
-### Env vars + `.env`
-
-OpenClaw reads env vars from the parent process (shell, launchd/systemd, CI, etc.).
-
-Additionally, it loads:
-
-- `.env` from the current working directory (if present)
-- a global fallback `.env` from `~/.openclaw/.env` (aka `$OPENCLAW_STATE_DIR/.env`)
-
-Neither `.env` file overrides existing env vars.
-
-You can also provide inline env vars in config. These are only applied if the
-process env is missing the key (same non-overriding rule):
-
-```json5
-{
-  env: {
-    OPENROUTER_API_KEY: "sk-or-...",
-    vars: {
-      GROQ_API_KEY: "gsk-...",
-    },
-  },
-}
-```
-
-See [/environment](/environment) for full precedence and sources.
-
-### `env.shellEnv` (optional)
-
-Opt-in convenience: if enabled and none of the expected keys are set yet, OpenClaw runs your login shell and imports only the missing expected keys (never overrides).
-This effectively sources your shell profile.
-
-```json5
-{
-  env: {
-    shellEnv: {
-      enabled: true,
-      timeoutMs: 15000,
-    },
-  },
-}
-```
-
-Env var equivalent:
-
-- `OPENCLAW_LOAD_SHELL_ENV=1`
-- `OPENCLAW_SHELL_ENV_TIMEOUT_MS=15000`
-
-### Env var substitution in config
-
-You can reference environment variables directly in any config string value using
-`${VAR_NAME}` syntax. Variables are substituted at config load time, before validation.
-
-```json5
-{
-  models: {
-    providers: {
-      "vercel-gateway": {
-        apiKey: "${VERCEL_GATEWAY_API_KEY}",
-      },
-    },
-  },
-  gateway: {
-    auth: {
-      token: "${OPENCLAW_GATEWAY_TOKEN}",
-    },
-  },
-}
-```
-
-**Rules:**
-
-- Only uppercase env var names are matched: `[A-Z_][A-Z0-9_]*`
-- Missing or empty env vars throw an error at config load
-- Escape with `$${VAR}` to output a literal `${VAR}`
-- Works with `$include` (included files also get substitution)
-
-**Inline substitution:**
-
-```json5
-{
-  models: {
-    providers: {
-      custom: {
-        baseUrl: "${CUSTOM_API_BASE}/v1", // → "https://api.example.com/v1"
-      },
-    },
-  },
-}
-```
-
-### Auth storage (OAuth + API keys)
-
-OpenClaw stores **per-agent** auth profiles (OAuth + API keys) in:
-
-- `<agentDir>/auth-profiles.json` (default: `~/.openclaw/agents/<agentId>/agent/auth-profiles.json`)
-
-See also: [/concepts/oauth](/concepts/oauth)
-
-Legacy OAuth imports:
-
-- `~/.openclaw/credentials/oauth.json` (or `$OPENCLAW_STATE_DIR/credentials/oauth.json`)
-
-The embedded Pi agent maintains a runtime cache at:
-
-- `<agentDir>/auth.json` (managed automatically; don’t edit manually)
-
-Legacy agent dir (pre multi-agent):
-
-- `~/.openclaw/agent/*` (migrated by `openclaw doctor` into `~/.openclaw/agents/<defaultAgentId>/agent/*`)
-
-Overrides:
-
-- OAuth dir (legacy import only): `OPENCLAW_OAUTH_DIR`
-- Agent dir (default agent root override): `OPENCLAW_AGENT_DIR` (preferred), `PI_CODING_AGENT_DIR` (legacy)
-
-On first use, OpenClaw imports `oauth.json` entries into `auth-profiles.json`.
-
-### `auth`
-
-Optional metadata for auth profiles. This does **not** store secrets; it maps
-profile IDs to a provider + mode (and optional email) and defines the provider
-rotation order used for failover.
-
-```json5
-{
-  auth: {
-    profiles: {
-      "anthropic:me@example.com": { provider: "anthropic", mode: "oauth", email: "me@example.com" },
-      "anthropic:work": { provider: "anthropic", mode: "api_key" },
-    },
-    order: {
-      anthropic: ["anthropic:me@example.com", "anthropic:work"],
-    },
-  },
-}
-```
-
-### `agents.list[].identity`
-
-Optional per-agent identity used for defaults and UX. This is written by the macOS onboarding assistant.
-
-If set, OpenClaw derives defaults (only when you haven’t set them explicitly):
-
-- `messages.ackReaction` from the **active agent**’s `identity.emoji` (falls back to 👀)
-- `agents.list[].groupChat.mentionPatterns` from the agent’s `identity.name`/`identity.emoji` (so “@Samantha” works in groups across Telegram/Slack/Discord/Google Chat/iMessage/WhatsApp)
-- `identity.avatar` accepts a workspace-relative image path or a remote URL/data URL. Local files must live inside the agent workspace.
-
-`identity.avatar` accepts:
-
-- Workspace-relative path (must stay within the agent workspace)
-- `http(s)` URL
-- `data:` URI
-
-```json5
-{
-  agents: {
-    list: [
-      {
-        id: "main",
-        identity: {
-          name: "Samantha",
-          theme: "helpful sloth",
-          emoji: "🦥",
-          avatar: "avatars/samantha.png",
-        },
-      },
-    ],
-  },
-}
-```
-
-### `wizard`
-
-Metadata written by CLI wizards (`onboard`, `configure`, `doctor`).
-
-```json5
-{
-  wizard: {
-    lastRunAt: "2026-01-01T00:00:00.000Z",
-    lastRunVersion: "2026.1.4",
-    lastRunCommit: "abc1234",
-    lastRunCommand: "configure",
-    lastRunMode: "local",
-  },
-}
-```
-
-### `logging`
-
-- Default log file: `/tmp/openclaw/openclaw-YYYY-MM-DD.log`
-- If you want a stable path, set `logging.file` to `/tmp/openclaw/openclaw.log`.
-- Console output can be tuned separately via:
-  - `logging.consoleLevel` (defaults to `info`, bumps to `debug` when `--verbose`)
-  - `logging.consoleStyle` (`pretty` | `compact` | `json`)
-- Tool summaries can be redacted to avoid leaking secrets:
-  - `logging.redactSensitive` (`off` | `tools`, default: `tools`)
-  - `logging.redactPatterns` (array of regex strings; overrides defaults)
-

-{
-  logging: {
-    level: "info",
-    file: "/tmp/openclaw/openclaw.log",
-    consoleLevel: "info",
-    consoleStyle: "pretty",
-    redactSensitive: "tools",
-    redactPatterns: [
-      // Example: override defaults with your own rules.
-      "\\bTOKEN\\b\\s*[=:]\\s*([\"']?)([^\\s\"']+)\\1",

-
-### `channels.whatsapp.dmPolicy`
-
-Controls how WhatsApp direct chats (DMs) are handled:
-
-- `"pairing"` (default): unknown senders get a pairing code; owner must approve
-- `"allowlist"`: only allow senders in `channels.whatsapp.allowFrom` (or paired allow store)
-- `"open"`: allow all inbound DMs (**requires** `channels.whatsapp.allowFrom` to include `"*"`)
-- `"disabled"`: ignore all inbound DMs
-
-Pairing codes expire after 1 hour; the bot only sends a pairing code when a new request is created. Pending DM pairing requests are capped at **3 per channel** by default.
-
-Pairing approvals:
-
-- `openclaw pairing list whatsapp`
-- `openclaw pairing approve whatsapp <code>`
-
-### `channels.whatsapp.allowFrom`
-
-Allowlist of E.164 phone numbers that may trigger WhatsApp auto-replies (**DMs only**).
-If empty and `channels.whatsapp.dmPolicy="pairing"`, unknown senders will receive a pairing code.
-For groups, use `channels.whatsapp.groupPolicy` + `channels.whatsapp.groupAllowFrom`.
-
-```json5
-{
-  channels: {
-    whatsapp: {
-      dmPolicy: "pairing", // pairing | allowlist | open | disabled
-      allowFrom: ["+15555550123", "+447700900123"],
-      textChunkLimit: 4000, // optional outbound chunk size (chars)
-      chunkMode: "length", // optional chunking mode (length | newline)
-      mediaMaxMb: 50, // optional inbound media cap (MB)
-    },
-  },
-}
-```
-
-### `channels.whatsapp.sendReadReceipts`
-
-Controls whether inbound WhatsApp messages are marked as read (blue ticks). Default: `true`.
-
-Self-chat mode always skips read receipts, even when enabled.
-
-Per-account override: `channels.whatsapp.accounts.<id>.sendReadReceipts`.
-
-```json5
-{
-  channels: {
-    whatsapp: { sendReadReceipts: false },
-  },
-}
-```
-
-### `channels.whatsapp.accounts` (multi-account)
-
-Run multiple WhatsApp accounts in one gateway:
-
-```json5
-{
-  channels: {
-    whatsapp: {
-      accounts: {
-        default: {}, // optional; keeps the default id stable
-        personal: {},
-        biz: {
-          // Optional override. Default: ~/.openclaw/credentials/whatsapp/biz
-          // authDir: "~/.openclaw/credentials/whatsapp/biz",
-        },
-      },
-    },
-  },
-}
-```
-
-Notes:
-
-- Outbound commands default to account `default` if present; otherwise the first configured account id (sorted).
-- The legacy single-account Baileys auth dir is migrated by `openclaw doctor` into `whatsapp/default`.
-
-### `channels.telegram.accounts` / `channels.discord.accounts` / `channels.googlechat.accounts` / `channels.slack.accounts` / `channels.mattermost.accounts` / `channels.signal.accounts` / `channels.imessage.accounts`
-
-Run multiple accounts per channel (each account has its own `accountId` and optional `name`):
-
-```json5
-{
-  channels: {
-    telegram: {
-      accounts: {
-        default: {
-          name: "Primary bot",
-          botToken: "123456:ABC...",
-        },
-        alerts: {
-          name: "Alerts bot",
-          botToken: "987654:XYZ...",
-        },
-      },
-    },
-  },
-}
-```
-
-Notes:
-
-- `default` is used when `accountId` is omitted (CLI + routing).
-- Env tokens only apply to the **default** account.
-- Base channel settings (group policy, mention gating, etc.) apply to all accounts unless overridden per account.
-- Use `bindings[].match.accountId` to route each account to a different agents.defaults.
-
-### Group chat mention gating (`agents.list[].groupChat` + `messages.groupChat`)
-
-Group messages default to **require mention** (either metadata mention or regex patterns). Applies to WhatsApp, Telegram, Discord, Google Chat, and iMessage group chats.
-
-**Mention types:**
-
-- **Metadata mentions**: Native platform @-mentions (e.g., WhatsApp tap-to-mention). Ignored in WhatsApp self-chat mode (see `channels.whatsapp.allowFrom`).
-- **Text patterns**: Regex patterns defined in `agents.list[].groupChat.mentionPatterns`. Always checked regardless of self-chat mode.
-- Mention gating is enforced only when mention detection is possible (native mentions or at least one `mentionPattern`).
-
-```json5
-{
-  messages: {
-    groupChat: { historyLimit: 50 },
-  },
-  agents: {
-    list: [{ id: "main", groupChat: { mentionPatterns: ["@openclaw", "openclaw"] } }],
-  },
-}
-```
-
-`messages.groupChat.historyLimit` sets the global default for group history context. Channels can override with `channels.<channel>.historyLimit` (or `channels.<channel>.accounts.*.historyLimit` for multi-account). Set `0` to disable history wrapping.
-
-#### DM history limits
-
-DM conversations use session-based history managed by the agent. You can limit the number of user turns retained per DM session:
-
-```json5
-{
-  channels: {
-    telegram: {
-      dmHistoryLimit: 30, // limit DM sessions to 30 user turns
-      dms: {
-        "123456789": { historyLimit: 50 }, // per-user override (user ID)
-      },
-    },
-  },
-}
-```
-
-Resolution order:
-
-1. Per-DM override: `channels.<provider>.dms[userId].historyLimit`
-2. Provider default: `channels.<provider>.dmHistoryLimit`
-3. No limit (all history retained)
-
-Supported providers: `telegram`, `whatsapp`, `discord`, `slack`, `signal`, `imessage`, `msteams`.
-
-Per-agent override (takes precedence when set, even `[]`):
-
-```json5
-{
-  agents: {
-    list: [
-      { id: "work", groupChat: { mentionPatterns: ["@workbot", "\\+15555550123"] } },
-      { id: "personal", groupChat: { mentionPatterns: ["@homebot", "\\+15555550999"] } },
-    ],
-  },
-}
-```
-
-Mention gating defaults live per channel (`channels.whatsapp.groups`, `channels.telegram.groups`, `channels.imessage.groups`, `channels.discord.guilds`). When `*.groups` is set, it also acts as a group allowlist; include `"*"` to allow all groups.
-
-To respond **only** to specific text triggers (ignoring native @-mentions):
-
-```json5
-{
-  channels: {
-    whatsapp: {
-      // Include your own number to enable self-chat mode (ignore native @-mentions).
-      allowFrom: ["+15555550123"],
-      groups: { "*": { requireMention: true } },
-    },
-  },
-  agents: {
-    list: [
-      {
-        id: "main",
-        groupChat: {
-          // Only these text patterns will trigger responses
-          mentionPatterns: ["reisponde", "@openclaw"],
-        },
-      },
-    ],
-  },
-}
-```
-
-### Group policy (per channel)
-
-Use `channels.*.groupPolicy` to control whether group/room messages are accepted at all:
-
-```json5
-{
-  channels: {
-    whatsapp: {
-      groupPolicy: "allowlist",
-      groupAllowFrom: ["+15551234567"],
-    },
-    telegram: {
-      groupPolicy: "allowlist",
-      groupAllowFrom: ["tg:123456789", "@alice"],
-    },
-    signal: {
-      groupPolicy: "allowlist",
-      groupAllowFrom: ["+15551234567"],
-    },
-    imessage: {
-      groupPolicy: "allowlist",
-      groupAllowFrom: ["chat_id:123"],
-    },
-    msteams: {
-      groupPolicy: "allowlist",
-      groupAllowFrom: ["user@org.com"],
-    },
-    discord: {
-      groupPolicy: "allowlist",
-      guilds: {
-        GUILD_ID: {
-          channels: { help: { allow: true } },
-        },
-      },
-    },
-    slack: {
-      groupPolicy: "allowlist",
-      channels: { "#general": { allow: true } },
-    },
-  },
-}
-```
-
-Notes:
-
-- `"open"`: groups bypass allowlists; mention-gating still applies.
-- `"disabled"`: block all group/room messages.
-- `"allowlist"`: only allow groups/rooms that match the configured allowlist.
-- `channels.defaults.groupPolicy` sets the default when a provider’s `groupPolicy` is unset.
-- WhatsApp/Telegram/Signal/iMessage/Microsoft Teams use `groupAllowFrom` (fallback: explicit `allowFrom`).
-- Discord/Slack use channel allowlists (`channels.discord.guilds.*.channels`, `channels.slack.channels`).
-- Group DMs (Discord/Slack) are still controlled by `dm.groupEnabled` + `dm.groupChannels`.
-- Default is `groupPolicy: "allowlist"` (unless overridden by `channels.defaults.groupPolicy`); if no allowlist is configured, group messages are blocked.
-
-### Multi-agent routing (`agents.list` + `bindings`)
-
-Run multiple isolated agents (separate workspace, `agentDir`, sessions) inside one Gateway.
-Inbound messages are routed to an agent via bindings.
-
-- `agents.list[]`: per-agent overrides.
-  - `id`: stable agent id (required).
-  - `default`: optional; when multiple are set, the first wins and a warning is logged.
-    If none are set, the **first entry** in the list is the default agent.
-  - `name`: display name for the agent.
-  - `workspace`: default `~/.openclaw/workspace-<agentId>` (for `main`, falls back to `agents.defaults.workspace`).
-  - `agentDir`: default `~/.openclaw/agents/<agentId>/agent`.
-  - `model`: per-agent default model, overrides `agents.defaults.model` for that agent.
-    - string form: `"provider/model"`, overrides only `agents.defaults.model.primary`
-    - object form: `{ primary, fallbacks }` (fallbacks override `agents.defaults.model.fallbacks`; `[]` disables global fallbacks for that agent)
-  - `identity`: per-agent name/theme/emoji (used for mention patterns + ack reactions).
-  - `groupChat`: per-agent mention-gating (`mentionPatterns`).
-  - `sandbox`: per-agent sandbox config (overrides `agents.defaults.sandbox`).
-    - `mode`: `"off"` | `"non-main"` | `"all"`
-    - `workspaceAccess`: `"none"` | `"ro"` | `"rw"`
-    - `scope`: `"session"` | `"agent"` | `"shared"`
-    - `workspaceRoot`: custom sandbox workspace root
-    - `docker`: per-agent docker overrides (e.g. `image`, `network`, `env`, `setupCommand`, limits; ignored when `scope: "shared"`)
-    - `browser`: per-agent sandboxed browser overrides (ignored when `scope: "shared"`)
-    - `prune`: per-agent sandbox pruning overrides (ignored when `scope: "shared"`)
-  - `subagents`: per-agent sub-agent defaults.
-    - `allowAgents`: allowlist of agent ids for `sessions_spawn` from this agent (`["*"]` = allow any; default: only same agent)
-  - `tools`: per-agent tool restrictions (applied before sandbox tool policy).
-    - `profile`: base tool profile (applied before allow/deny)
-    - `allow`: array of allowed tool names
-    - `deny`: array of denied tool names (deny wins)
-- `agents.defaults`: shared agent defaults (model, workspace, sandbox, etc.).
-- `bindings[]`: routes inbound messages to an `agentId`.
-  - `match.channel` (required)
-  - `match.accountId` (optional; `*` = any account; omitted = default account)
-  - `match.peer` (optional; `{ kind: dm|group|channel, id }`)
-  - `match.guildId` / `match.teamId` (optional; channel-specific)
-
-Deterministic match order:
-
-1. `match.peer`
-2. `match.guildId`
-3. `match.teamId`
-4. `match.accountId` (exact, no peer/guild/team)
-5. `match.accountId: "*"` (channel-wide, no peer/guild/team)
-6. default agent (`agents.list[].default`, else first list entry, else `"main"`)
-
-Within each match tier, the first matching entry in `bindings` wins.
-
-#### Per-agent access profiles (multi-agent)
-
-Each agent can carry its own sandbox + tool policy. Use this to mix access
-levels in one gateway:
-
-- **Full access** (personal agent)
-- **Read-only** tools + workspace
-- **No filesystem access** (messaging/session tools only)
-
-See [Multi-Agent Sandbox & Tools](/multi-agent-sandbox-tools) for precedence and
-additional examples.
-
-Full access (no sandbox):
-
-```json5
-{
-  agents: {
-    list: [
-      {
-        id: "personal",
-        workspace: "~/.openclaw/workspace-personal",
-        sandbox: { mode: "off" },
-      },
-    ],
-  },
-}
-```
-
-Read-only tools + read-only workspace:
-
-```json5
-{
-  agents: {
-    list: [
-      {
-        id: "family",
-        workspace: "~/.openclaw/workspace-family",
-        sandbox: {
-          mode: "all",
-          scope: "agent",
-          workspaceAccess: "ro",
-        },
-        tools: {
-          allow: [
-            "read",
-            "sessions_list",
-            "sessions_history",
-            "sessions_send",
-            "sessions_spawn",
-            "session_status",
-          ],
-          deny: ["write", "edit", "apply_patch", "exec", "process", "browser"],
-        },
-      },
-    ],
-  },
-}
-```
-
-No filesystem access (messaging/session tools enabled):
-
-```json5
-{
-  agents: {
-    list: [
-      {
-        id: "public",
-        workspace: "~/.openclaw/workspace-public",
-        sandbox: {
-          mode: "all",
-          scope: "agent",
-          workspaceAccess: "none",
-        },
-        tools: {
-          allow: [
-            "sessions_list",
-            "sessions_history",
-            "sessions_send",
-            "sessions_spawn",
-            "session_status",
-            "whatsapp",
-            "telegram",
-            "slack",
-            "discord",
-            "gateway",
-          ],
-          deny: [
-            "read",
-            "write",
-            "edit",
-            "apply_patch",
-            "exec",
-            "process",
-            "browser",
-            "canvas",
-            "nodes",
-            "cron",
-            "gateway",
-            "image",
-          ],
-        },
-      },
-    ],
-  },
-}
-```
-
-Example: two WhatsApp accounts → two agents:
-
-```json5
-{
-  agents: {
-    list: [
-      { id: "home", default: true, workspace: "~/.openclaw/workspace-home" },
-      { id: "work", workspace: "~/.openclaw/workspace-work" },
-    ],
-  },
-  bindings: [
-    { agentId: "home", match: { channel: "whatsapp", accountId: "personal" } },
-    { agentId: "work", match: { channel: "whatsapp", accountId: "biz" } },
-  ],
-  channels: {
-    whatsapp: {
-      accounts: {
-        personal: {},
-        biz: {},
-      },
-    },
-  },
-}
-```
-
-### `tools.agentToAgent` (optional)
-
-Agent-to-agent messaging is opt-in:
-
-```json5
-{
-  tools: {
-    agentToAgent: {
-      enabled: false,
-      allow: ["home", "work"],
-    },
-  },
-}
-```
-
-### `messages.queue`
-
-Controls how inbound messages behave when an agent run is already active.
-
-```json5
-{
-  messages: {
-    queue: {
-      mode: "collect", // steer | followup | collect | steer-backlog (steer+backlog ok) | interrupt (queue=steer legacy)
-      debounceMs: 1000,
-      cap: 20,
-      drop: "summarize", // old | new | summarize
-      byChannel: {
-        whatsapp: "collect",
-        telegram: "collect",
-        discord: "collect",
-        imessage: "collect",
-        webchat: "collect",
-      },
-    },
-  },
-}
-```
-
-### `messages.inbound`
-
-Debounce rapid inbound messages from the **same sender** so multiple back-to-back
-messages become a single agent turn. Debouncing is scoped per channel + conversation
-and uses the most recent message for reply threading/IDs.
-
-```json5
-{
-  messages: {
-    inbound: {
-      debounceMs: 2000, // 0 disables
-      byChannel: {
-        whatsapp: 5000,
-        slack: 1500,
-        discord: 1500,
-      },
-    },
-  },
-}
-```
-
-Notes:
-
-- Debounce batches **text-only** messages; media/attachments flush immediately.
-- Control commands (e.g. `/queue`, `/new`) bypass debouncing so they stay standalone.
-
-### `commands` (chat command handling)
-
-Controls how chat commands are enabled across connectors.
-
-```json5
-{
-  commands: {
-    native: "auto", // register native commands when supported (auto)
-    text: true, // parse slash commands in chat messages
-    bash: false, // allow ! (alias: /bash) (host-only; requires tools.elevated allowlists)
-    bashForegroundMs: 2000, // bash foreground window (0 backgrounds immediately)
-    config: false, // allow /config (writes to disk)
-    debug: false, // allow /debug (runtime-only overrides)
-    restart: false, // allow /restart + gateway restart tool
-    useAccessGroups: true, // enforce access-group allowlists/policies for commands
-  },
-}
-```
-
-Notes:
-
-- Text commands must be sent as a **standalone** message and use the leading `/` (no plain-text aliases).
-- `commands.text: false` disables parsing chat messages for commands.
-- `commands.native: "auto"` (default) turns on native commands for Discord/Telegram and leaves Slack off; unsupported channels stay text-only.
-- Set `commands.native: true|false` to force all, or override per channel with `channels.discord.commands.native`, `channels.telegram.commands.native`, `channels.slack.commands.native` (bool or `"auto"`). `false` clears previously registered commands on Discord/Telegram at startup; Slack commands are managed in the Slack app.
-- `channels.telegram.customCommands` adds extra Telegram bot menu entries. Names are normalized; conflicts with native commands are ignored.
-- `commands.bash: true` enables `! <cmd>` to run host shell commands (`/bash <cmd>` also works as an alias). Requires `tools.elevated.enabled` and allowlisting the sender in `tools.elevated.allowFrom.<channel>`.
-- `commands.bashForegroundMs` controls how long bash waits before backgrounding. While a bash job is running, new `! <cmd>` requests are rejected (one at a time).
-- `commands.config: true` enables `/config` (reads/writes `openclaw.json`).
-- `channels.<provider>.configWrites` gates config mutations initiated by that channel (default: true). This applies to `/config set|unset` plus provider-specific auto-migrations (Telegram supergroup ID changes, Slack channel ID changes).
-- `commands.debug: true` enables `/debug` (runtime-only overrides).
-- `commands.restart: true` enables `/restart` and the gateway tool restart action.
-- `commands.useAccessGroups: false` allows commands to bypass access-group allowlists/policies.
-- Slash commands and directives are only honored for **authorized senders**. Authorization is derived from
-  channel allowlists/pairing plus `commands.useAccessGroups`.
-
-### `web` (WhatsApp web channel runtime)
-
-WhatsApp runs through the gateway’s web channel (Baileys Web). It starts automatically when a linked session exists.
-Set `web.enabled: false` to keep it off by default.
-
-```json5
-{
-  web: {
-    enabled: true,
-    heartbeatSeconds: 60,
-    reconnect: {
-      initialMs: 2000,
-      maxMs: 120000,
-      factor: 1.4,
-      jitter: 0.2,
-      maxAttempts: 0,
-    },
-  },
-}
-```
-
-### `channels.telegram` (bot transport)
-
-OpenClaw starts Telegram only when a `channels.telegram` config section exists. The bot token is resolved from `channels.telegram.botToken` (or `channels.telegram.tokenFile`), with `TELEGRAM_BOT_TOKEN` as a fallback for the default account.
-Set `channels.telegram.enabled: false` to disable automatic startup.
-Multi-account support lives under `channels.telegram.accounts` (see the multi-account section above). Env tokens only apply to the default account.
-Set `channels.telegram.configWrites: false` to block Telegram-initiated config writes (including supergroup ID migrations and `/config set|unset`).
-
-```json5
-{
-  channels: {
-    telegram: {
-      enabled: true,
-      botToken: "your-bot-token",
-      dmPolicy: "pairing", // pairing | allowlist | open | disabled
-      allowFrom: ["tg:123456789"], // optional; "open" requires ["*"]
-      groups: {
-        "*": { requireMention: true },
-        "-1001234567890": {
-          allowFrom: ["@admin"],
-          systemPrompt: "Keep answers brief.",
-          topics: {
-            "99": {
-              requireMention: false,
-              skills: ["search"],
-              systemPrompt: "Stay on topic.",
-            },
-          },
-        },
-      },
-      customCommands: [
-        { command: "backup", description: "Git backup" },
-        { command: "generate", description: "Create an image" },
-      ],
-      historyLimit: 50, // include last N group messages as context (0 disables)
-      replyToMode: "first", // off | first | all

-
-Draft streaming notes:
-
-- Uses Telegram `sendMessageDraft` (draft bubble, not a real message).
-- Requires **private chat topics** (message_thread_id in DMs; bot has topics enabled).
-- `/reasoning stream` streams reasoning into the draft, then sends the final answer.
-  Retry policy defaults and behavior are documented in [Retry policy](/concepts/retry).

-```
-
-OpenClaw starts Discord only when a `channels.discord` config section exists. The token is resolved from `channels.discord.token`, with `DISCORD_BOT_TOKEN` as a fallback for the default account (unless `channels.discord.enabled` is `false`). Use `user:<id>` (DM) or `channel:<id>` (guild channel) when specifying delivery targets for cron/CLI commands; bare numeric IDs are ambiguous and rejected.
-Guild slugs are lowercase with spaces replaced by `-`; channel keys use the slugged channel name (no leading `#`). Prefer guild ids as keys to avoid rename ambiguity.
-Bot-authored messages are ignored by default. Enable with `channels.discord.allowBots` (own messages are still filtered to prevent self-reply loops).
-Reaction notification modes:
-
-- `off`: no reaction events.
-- `own`: reactions on the bot's own messages (default).
-- `all`: all reactions on all messages.
-- `allowlist`: reactions from `guilds.<id>.users` on all messages (empty list disables).
-  Outbound text is chunked by `channels.discord.textChunkLimit` (default 2000). Set `channels.discord.chunkMode="newline"` to split on blank lines (paragraph boundaries) before length chunking. Discord clients can clip very tall messages, so `channels.discord.maxLinesPerMessage` (default 17) splits long multi-line replies even when under 2000 chars.
-  Retry policy defaults and behavior are documented in [Retry policy](/concepts/retry).
-
-### `channels.googlechat` (Chat API webhook)
-
-Google Chat runs over HTTP webhooks with app-level auth (service account).
-Multi-account support lives under `channels.googlechat.accounts` (see the multi-account section above). Env vars only apply to the default account.
-
-```json5
-{
-  channels: {
-    googlechat: {
-      enabled: true,
-      serviceAccountFile: "/path/to/service-account.json",
-      audienceType: "app-url", // app-url | project-number
-      audience: "https://gateway.example.com/googlechat",
-      webhookPath: "/googlechat",
-      botUser: "users/1234567890", // optional; improves mention detection
-      dm: {
-        enabled: true,
-        policy: "pairing", // pairing | allowlist | open | disabled
-        allowFrom: ["users/1234567890"], // optional; "open" requires ["*"]
-      },
-      groupPolicy: "allowlist",
-      groups: {
-        "spaces/AAAA": { allow: true, requireMention: true },
-      },
-      actions: { reactions: true },
-      typingIndicator: "message",
-      mediaMaxMb: 20,
-    },
-  },
-}
-```
-
-Notes:
-
-- Service account JSON can be inline (`serviceAccount`) or file-based (`serviceAccountFile`).
-- Env fallbacks for the default account: `GOOGLE_CHAT_SERVICE_ACCOUNT` or `GOOGLE_CHAT_SERVICE_ACCOUNT_FILE`.
-- `audienceType` + `audience` must match the Chat app’s webhook auth config.
-- Use `spaces/<spaceId>` or `users/<userId|email>` when setting delivery targets.
-
-### `channels.slack` (socket mode)
-
-Slack runs in Socket Mode and requires both a bot token and app token:
-
-```json5
-{
-  channels: {
-    slack: {
-      enabled: true,
-      botToken: "xoxb-...",
-      appToken: "xapp-...",
-      dm: {
-        enabled: true,
-        policy: "pairing", // pairing | allowlist | open | disabled
-        allowFrom: ["U123", "U456", "*"], // optional; "open" requires ["*"]
-        groupEnabled: false,
-        groupChannels: ["G123"],
-      },
-      channels: {
-        C123: { allow: true, requireMention: true, allowBots: false },
-        "#general": {
-          allow: true,

-          allowBots: false,
-          users: ["U123"],
-          skills: ["docs"],
-          systemPrompt: "Short answers only.",
-        },
-      },
-      historyLimit: 50, // include last N channel/group messages as context (0 disables)
-      allowBots: false,
-      reactionNotifications: "own", // off | own | all | allowlist
-      reactionAllowlist: ["U123"],
-      replyToMode: "off", // off | first | all
-      thread: {
-        historyScope: "thread", // thread | channel
-        inheritParent: false,
-      },
-      actions: {
-        reactions: true,
-        messages: true,
-        pins: true,
-        memberInfo: true,
-        emojiList: true,
-      },
-      slashCommand: {
-        enabled: true,
-        name: "openclaw",
-        sessionPrefix: "slack:slash",
-        ephemeral: true,
-      },
-      textChunkLimit: 4000,
-      chunkMode: "length",
-      mediaMaxMb: 20,
-    },
-  },
-}
-```
-
-Multi-account support lives under `channels.slack.accounts` (see the multi-account section above). Env tokens only apply to the default account.
-
-OpenClaw starts Slack when the provider is enabled and both tokens are set (via config or `SLACK_BOT_TOKEN` + `SLACK_APP_TOKEN`). Use `user:<id>` (DM) or `channel:<id>` when specifying delivery targets for cron/CLI commands.
-Set `channels.slack.configWrites: false` to block Slack-initiated config writes (including channel ID migrations and `/config set|unset`).
-
-Bot-authored messages are ignored by default. Enable with `channels.slack.allowBots` or `channels.slack.channels.<id>.allowBots`.
-
-Reaction notification modes:
-
-- `off`: no reaction events.
-- `own`: reactions on the bot's own messages (default).
-- `all`: all reactions on all messages.
-- `allowlist`: reactions from `channels.slack.reactionAllowlist` on all messages (empty list disables).
-
-Thread session isolation:
-
-- `channels.slack.thread.historyScope` controls whether thread history is per-thread (`thread`, default) or shared across the channel (`channel`).
-- `channels.slack.thread.inheritParent` controls whether new thread sessions inherit the parent channel transcript (default: false).
-
-Slack action groups (gate `slack` tool actions):
-| Action group | Default | Notes |
-| --- | --- | --- |
-| reactions | enabled | React + list reactions |
-| messages | enabled | Read/send/edit/delete |
-| pins | enabled | Pin/unpin/list |
-| memberInfo | enabled | Member info |
-| emojiList | enabled | Custom emoji list |
-
-### `channels.mattermost` (bot token)
-
-Mattermost ships as a plugin and is not bundled with the core install.
-Install it first: `openclaw plugins install @openclaw/mattermost` (or `./extensions/mattermost` from a git checkout).
-
-Mattermost requires a bot token plus the base URL for your server:
-
-```json5
-{
-  channels: {
-    mattermost: {
-      enabled: true,
-      botToken: "mm-token",
-      baseUrl: "https://chat.example.com",
-      dmPolicy: "pairing",
-      chatmode: "oncall", // oncall | onmessage | onchar
-      oncharPrefixes: [">", "!"],
-      textChunkLimit: 4000,
-      chunkMode: "length",
-    },
-  },
-}
-```
-
-OpenClaw starts Mattermost when the account is configured (bot token + base URL) and enabled. The token + base URL are resolved from `channels.mattermost.botToken` + `channels.mattermost.baseUrl` or `MATTERMOST_BOT_TOKEN` + `MATTERMOST_URL` for the default account (unless `channels.mattermost.enabled` is `false`).
-
-Chat modes:
-
-- `oncall` (default): respond to channel messages only when @mentioned.
-- `onmessage`: respond to every channel message.
-- `onchar`: respond when a message starts with a trigger prefix (`channels.mattermost.oncharPrefixes`, default `[">", "!"]`).
-
-Access control:
-
-- Default DMs: `channels.mattermost.dmPolicy="pairing"` (unknown senders get a pairing code).
-- Public DMs: `channels.mattermost.dmPolicy="open"` plus `channels.mattermost.allowFrom=["*"]`.
-- Groups: `channels.mattermost.groupPolicy="allowlist"` by default (mention-gated). Use `channels.mattermost.groupAllowFrom` to restrict senders.
-
-Multi-account support lives under `channels.mattermost.accounts` (see the multi-account section above). Env vars only apply to the default account.
-Use `channel:<id>` or `user:<id>` (or `@username`) when specifying delivery targets; bare ids are treated as channel ids.
-
-### `channels.signal` (signal-cli)
-
-Signal reactions can emit system events (shared reaction tooling):
-
-```json5
-{
-  channels: {
-    signal: {
-      reactionNotifications: "own", // off | own | all | allowlist
-      reactionAllowlist: ["+15551234567", "uuid:123e4567-e89b-12d3-a456-426614174000"],
-      historyLimit: 50, // include last N group messages as context (0 disables)
-    },
-  },
-}
-```
-
-Reaction notification modes:
-
-- `off`: no reaction events.
-- `own`: reactions on the bot's own messages (default).
-- `all`: all reactions on all messages.
-- `allowlist`: reactions from `channels.signal.reactionAllowlist` on all messages (empty list disables).
-
-### `channels.imessage` (imsg CLI)
-
-OpenClaw spawns `imsg rpc` (JSON-RPC over stdio). No daemon or port required.
-
-```json5
-{
-  channels: {
-    imessage: {
-      enabled: true,
-      cliPath: "imsg",
-      dbPath: "~/Library/Messages/chat.db",
-      remoteHost: "user@gateway-host", // SCP for remote attachments when using SSH wrapper
-      dmPolicy: "pairing", // pairing | allowlist | open | disabled
-      allowFrom: ["+15555550123", "user@example.com", "chat_id:123"],
-      historyLimit: 50, // include last N group messages as context (0 disables)
-      includeAttachments: false,
-      mediaMaxMb: 16,
-      service: "auto",
-      region: "US",
-    },
-  },
-}
-```
-
-Multi-account support lives under `channels.imessage.accounts` (see the multi-account section above).
-
-Notes:
-
-- Requires Full Disk Access to the Messages DB.
-- The first send will prompt for Messages automation permission.
-- Prefer `chat_id:<id>` targets. Use `imsg chats --limit 20` to list chats.
-- `channels.imessage.cliPath` can point to a wrapper script (e.g. `ssh` to another Mac that runs `imsg rpc`); use SSH keys to avoid password prompts.
-- For remote SSH wrappers, set `channels.imessage.remoteHost` to fetch attachments via SCP when `includeAttachments` is enabled.
-
-Example wrapper:
-
-```bash
-#!/usr/bin/env bash
-exec ssh -T gateway-host imsg "$@"
-```
-
-### `agents.defaults.workspace`
-
-Sets the **single global workspace directory** used by the agent for file operations.
-
-Default: `~/.openclaw/workspace`.
-
-```json5
-{
-  agents: { defaults: { workspace: "~/.openclaw/workspace" } },
-}
-```
-
-If `agents.defaults.sandbox` is enabled, non-main sessions can override this with their
-own per-scope workspaces under `agents.defaults.sandbox.workspaceRoot`.
-
-### `agents.defaults.repoRoot`
-
-Optional repository root to show in the system prompt’s Runtime line. If unset, OpenClaw
-tries to detect a `.git` directory by walking upward from the workspace (and current
-working directory). The path must exist to be used.
-
-```json5
-{
-  agents: { defaults: { repoRoot: "~/Projects/openclaw" } },
-}
-```
-
-### `agents.defaults.skipBootstrap`
-
-Disables automatic creation of the workspace bootstrap files (`AGENTS.md`, `SOUL.md`, `TOOLS.md`, `IDENTITY.md`, `USER.md`, and `BOOTSTRAP.md`).
-
-Use this for pre-seeded deployments where your workspace files come from a repo.
-
-```json5
-{
-  agents: { defaults: { skipBootstrap: true } },
-}
-```
-
-### `agents.defaults.bootstrapMaxChars`
-
-Max characters of each workspace bootstrap file injected into the system prompt
-before truncation. Default: `20000`.
-
-When a file exceeds this limit, OpenClaw logs a warning and injects a truncated
-head/tail with a marker.
-
-```json5
-{
-  agents: { defaults: { bootstrapMaxChars: 20000 } },
-}
-```
-
-### `agents.defaults.userTimezone`
-
-Sets the user’s timezone for **system prompt context** (not for timestamps in
-message envelopes). If unset, OpenClaw uses the host timezone at runtime.
-
-```json5
-{
-  agents: { defaults: { userTimezone: "America/Chicago" } },
-}
-```
-
-### `agents.defaults.timeFormat`
-
-Controls the **time format** shown in the system prompt’s Current Date & Time section.
-Default: `auto` (OS preference).
-
-```json5
-{
-  agents: { defaults: { timeFormat: "auto" } }, // auto | 12 | 24
-}
-```
-
-### `messages`
-
-Controls inbound/outbound prefixes and optional ack reactions.
-See [Messages](/concepts/messages) for queueing, sessions, and streaming context.
-
-```json5
-{
-  messages: {
-    responsePrefix: "🦞", // or "auto"
-    ackReaction: "👀",
-    ackReactionScope: "group-mentions",
-    removeAckAfterReply: false,
-  },
-}
-```
-
-`responsePrefix` is applied to **all outbound replies** (tool summaries, block
-streaming, final replies) across channels unless already present.
-
-Overrides can be configured per channel and per account:
-
-- `channels.<channel>.responsePrefix`
-- `channels.<channel>.accounts.<id>.responsePrefix`
-
-Resolution order (most specific wins):
-
-1. `channels.<channel>.accounts.<id>.responsePrefix`
-2. `channels.<channel>.responsePrefix`
-3. `messages.responsePrefix`
-
-Semantics:
-
-- `undefined` falls through to the next level.
-- `""` explicitly disables the prefix and stops the cascade.
-- `"auto"` derives `[{identity.name}]` for the routed agent.
-
-Overrides apply to all channels, including extensions, and to every outbound reply kind.
-
-If `messages.responsePrefix` is unset, no prefix is applied by default. WhatsApp self-chat
-replies are the exception: they default to `[{identity.name}]` when set, otherwise
-`[openclaw]`, so same-phone conversations stay legible.
-Set it to `"auto"` to derive `[{identity.name}]` for the routed agent (when set).
-
-#### Template variables
-
-The `responsePrefix` string can include template variables that resolve dynamically:
-
-| Variable          | Description            | Example                     |
-| ----------------- | ---------------------- | --------------------------- |
-| `{model}`         | Short model name       | `claude-opus-4-5`, `gpt-4o` |
-| `{modelFull}`     | Full model identifier  | `anthropic/claude-opus-4-5` |
-| `{provider}`      | Provider name          | `anthropic`, `openai`       |
-| `{thinkingLevel}` | Current thinking level | `high`, `low`, `off`        |
-| `{identity.name}` | Agent identity name    | (same as `"auto"` mode)     |
-
-Variables are case-insensitive (`{MODEL}` = `{model}`). `{think}` is an alias for `{thinkingLevel}`.
-Unresolved variables remain as literal text.
-
-```json5
-{
-  messages: {
-    responsePrefix: "[{model} | think:{thinkingLevel}]",
-  },
-}
-```
-
-Example output: `[claude-opus-4-5 | think:high] Here's my response...`
-
-WhatsApp inbound prefix is configured via `channels.whatsapp.messagePrefix` (deprecated:
-`messages.messagePrefix`). Default stays **unchanged**: `"[openclaw]"` when
-`channels.whatsapp.allowFrom` is empty, otherwise `""` (no prefix). When using
-`"[openclaw]"`, OpenClaw will instead use `[{identity.name}]` when the routed
-agent has `identity.name` set.
-
-`ackReaction` sends a best-effort emoji reaction to acknowledge inbound messages
-on channels that support reactions (Slack/Discord/Telegram/Google Chat). Defaults to the
-active agent’s `identity.emoji` when set, otherwise `"👀"`. Set it to `""` to disable.
-
-`ackReactionScope` controls when reactions fire:
-
-- `group-mentions` (default): only when a group/room requires mentions **and** the bot was mentioned
-- `group-all`: all group/room messages
-- `direct`: direct messages only
-- `all`: all messages
-
-`removeAckAfterReply` removes the bot’s ack reaction after a reply is sent
-(Slack/Discord/Telegram/Google Chat only). Default: `false`.
-
-#### `messages.tts`
-
-Enable text-to-speech for outbound replies. When on, OpenClaw generates audio
-using ElevenLabs or OpenAI and attaches it to responses. Telegram uses Opus
-voice notes; other channels send MP3 audio.
-
-```json5
-{
-  messages: {
-    tts: {
-      auto: "always", // off | always | inbound | tagged
-      mode: "final", // final | all (include tool/block replies)
-      provider: "elevenlabs",
-      summaryModel: "openai/gpt-4.1-mini",
-      modelOverrides: {
-        enabled: true,
-      },
-      maxTextLength: 4000,
-      timeoutMs: 30000,
-      prefsPath: "~/.openclaw/settings/tts.json",
-      elevenlabs: {
-        apiKey: "elevenlabs_api_key",
-        baseUrl: "https://api.elevenlabs.io",
-        voiceId: "voice_id",
-        modelId: "eleven_multilingual_v2",
-        seed: 42,
-        applyTextNormalization: "auto",
-        languageCode: "en",
-        voiceSettings: {
-          stability: 0.5,
-          similarityBoost: 0.75,
-          style: 0.0,
-          useSpeakerBoost: true,
-          speed: 1.0,
-        },
-      },
-      openai: {
-        apiKey: "openai_api_key",
-        model: "gpt-4o-mini-tts",
-        voice: "alloy",
-      },
-    },
-  },
-}
-```
-
-Notes:
-
-- `messages.tts.auto` controls auto‑TTS (`off`, `always`, `inbound`, `tagged`).
-- `/tts off|always|inbound|tagged` sets the per‑session auto mode (overrides config).
-- `messages.tts.enabled` is legacy; doctor migrates it to `messages.tts.auto`.
-- `prefsPath` stores local overrides (provider/limit/summarize).
-- `maxTextLength` is a hard cap for TTS input; summaries are truncated to fit.
-- `summaryModel` overrides `agents.defaults.model.primary` for auto-summary.
-  - Accepts `provider/model` or an alias from `agents.defaults.models`.
-- `modelOverrides` enables model-driven overrides like `[[tts:...]]` tags (on by default).
-- `/tts limit` and `/tts summary` control per-user summarization settings.
-- `apiKey` values fall back to `ELEVENLABS_API_KEY`/`XI_API_KEY` and `OPENAI_API_KEY`.
-- `elevenlabs.baseUrl` overrides the ElevenLabs API base URL.
-- `elevenlabs.voiceSettings` supports `stability`/`similarityBoost`/`style` (0..1),
-  `useSpeakerBoost`, and `speed` (0.5..2.0).

-Defaults for Talk mode (macOS/iOS/Android). Voice IDs fall back to `ELEVENLABS_VOICE_ID` or `SAG_VOICE_ID` when unset.
-`apiKey` falls back to `ELEVENLABS_API_KEY` (or the gateway’s shell profile) when unset.
-`voiceAliases` lets Talk directives use friendly names (e.g. `"voice":"Clawd"`).
-
-```json5
-{
-  talk: {
-    voiceId: "elevenlabs_voice_id",
-    voiceAliases: {
-      Clawd: "EXAVITQu4vr4xnSDxMaL",
-      Roger: "CwhRBWXzGAHq8TQ4Fs17",
-    },
-    modelId: "eleven_v3",
-    outputFormat: "mp3_44100_128",
-    apiKey: "elevenlabs_api_key",
-    interruptOnSpeech: true,
-  },
-}
-```
-
-### `agents.defaults`
-
-Controls the embedded agent runtime (model/thinking/verbose/timeouts).
-`agents.defaults.models` defines the configured model catalog (and acts as the allowlist for `/model`).
-`agents.defaults.model.primary` sets the default model; `agents.defaults.model.fallbacks` are global failovers.
-`agents.defaults.imageModel` is optional and is **only used if the primary model lacks image input**.
-Each `agents.defaults.models` entry can include:
-
-- `alias` (optional model shortcut, e.g. `/opus`).
-- `params` (optional provider-specific API params passed through to the model request).
-
-`params` is also applied to streaming runs (embedded agent + compaction). Supported keys today: `temperature`, `maxTokens`. These merge with call-time options; caller-supplied values win. `temperature` is an advanced knob—leave unset unless you know the model’s defaults and need a change.
-
-Example:
-
-```json5
-{
-  agents: {
-    defaults: {
-      models: {
-        "anthropic/claude-sonnet-4-5-20250929": {
-          params: { temperature: 0.6 },
-        },
-        "openai/gpt-5.2": {
-          params: { maxTokens: 8192 },
-        },
-      },
-    },
-  },
-}
-```
-
-Z.AI GLM-4.x models automatically enable thinking mode unless you:
-
-- set `--thinking off`, or
-- define `agents.defaults.models["zai/<model>"].params.thinking` yourself.
-
-OpenClaw also ships a few built-in alias shorthands. Defaults only apply when the model
-is already present in `agents.defaults.models`:
-
-- `opus` -> `anthropic/claude-opus-4-5`
-- `sonnet` -> `anthropic/claude-sonnet-4-5`
-- `gpt` -> `openai/gpt-5.2`
-- `gpt-mini` -> `openai/gpt-5-mini`
-- `gemini` -> `google/gemini-3-pro-preview`
-- `gemini-flash` -> `google/gemini-3-flash-preview`
-
-If you configure the same alias name (case-insensitive) yourself, your value wins (defaults never override).
-
-Example: Opus 4.5 primary with MiniMax M2.1 fallback (hosted MiniMax):
-
-```json5
-{
-  agents: {
-    defaults: {
-      models: {
-        "anthropic/claude-opus-4-5": { alias: "opus" },
-        "minimax/MiniMax-M2.1": { alias: "minimax" },
-      },
-      model: {
-        primary: "anthropic/claude-opus-4-5",
-        fallbacks: ["minimax/MiniMax-M2.1"],
-      },
-    },
-  },
-}
-```
-
-MiniMax auth: set `MINIMAX_API_KEY` (env) or configure `models.providers.minimax`.
-
-#### `agents.defaults.cliBackends` (CLI fallback)
-
-Optional CLI backends for text-only fallback runs (no tool calls). These are useful as a
-backup path when API providers fail. Image pass-through is supported when you configure
-an `imageArg` that accepts file paths.
-
-Notes:
-
-- CLI backends are **text-first**; tools are always disabled.
-- Sessions are supported when `sessionArg` is set; session ids are persisted per backend.
-- For `claude-cli`, defaults are wired in. Override the command path if PATH is minimal
-  (launchd/systemd).
-
-Example:
-
-```json5
-{
-  agents: {
-    defaults: {
-      cliBackends: {
-        "claude-cli": {
-          command: "/opt/homebrew/bin/claude",
-        },
-        "my-cli": {
-          command: "my-cli",
-          args: ["--json"],
-          output: "json",
-          modelArg: "--model",
-          sessionArg: "--session",
-          sessionMode: "existing",
-          systemPromptArg: "--system",
-          systemPromptWhen: "first",
-          imageArg: "--image",
-          imageMode: "repeat",
-        },
-      },

-  },

-
-#### `agents.defaults.contextPruning` (tool-result pruning)
-
-`agents.defaults.contextPruning` prunes **old tool results** from the in-memory context right before a request is sent to the LLM.
-It does **not** modify the session history on disk (`*.jsonl` remains complete).
-
-This is intended to reduce token usage for chatty agents that accumulate large tool outputs over time.
-
-High level:
-
-- Never touches user/assistant messages.
-- Protects the last `keepLastAssistants` assistant messages (no tool results after that point are pruned).
-- Protects the bootstrap prefix (nothing before the first user message is pruned).
-- Modes:
-  - `adaptive`: soft-trims oversized tool results (keep head/tail) when the estimated context ratio crosses `softTrimRatio`.
-    Then hard-clears the oldest eligible tool results when the estimated context ratio crosses `hardClearRatio` **and**
-    there’s enough prunable tool-result bulk (`minPrunableToolChars`).
-  - `aggressive`: always replaces eligible tool results before the cutoff with the `hardClear.placeholder` (no ratio checks).
-
-Soft vs hard pruning (what changes in the context sent to the LLM):
-
-- **Soft-trim**: only for _oversized_ tool results. Keeps the beginning + end and inserts `...` in the middle.
-  - Before: `toolResult("…very long output…")`
-  - After: `toolResult("HEAD…\n...\n…TAIL\n\n[Tool result trimmed: …]")`
-- **Hard-clear**: replaces the entire tool result with the placeholder.
-  - Before: `toolResult("…very long output…")`
-  - After: `toolResult("[Old tool result content cleared]")`
-
-Notes / current limitations:
-
-- Tool results containing **image blocks are skipped** (never trimmed/cleared) right now.
-- The estimated “context ratio” is based on **characters** (approximate), not exact tokens.
-- If the session doesn’t contain at least `keepLastAssistants` assistant messages yet, pruning is skipped.
-- In `aggressive` mode, `hardClear.enabled` is ignored (eligible tool results are always replaced with `hardClear.placeholder`).
-
-Default (adaptive):
-
-```json5
-{
-  agents: { defaults: { contextPruning: { mode: "adaptive" } } },
-}
-```
-
-To disable:
-
-```json5
-{
-  agents: { defaults: { contextPruning: { mode: "off" } } },
-}
-```
-
-Defaults (when `mode` is `"adaptive"` or `"aggressive"`):
-
-- `keepLastAssistants`: `3`
-- `softTrimRatio`: `0.3` (adaptive only)
-- `hardClearRatio`: `0.5` (adaptive only)
-- `minPrunableToolChars`: `50000` (adaptive only)
-- `softTrim`: `{ maxChars: 4000, headChars: 1500, tailChars: 1500 }` (adaptive only)
-- `hardClear`: `{ enabled: true, placeholder: "[Old tool result content cleared]" }`
-
-Example (aggressive, minimal):
-
-```json5
-{
-  agents: { defaults: { contextPruning: { mode: "aggressive" } } },
-}
-```
-
-Example (adaptive tuned):
-
-```json5
-{
-  agents: {
-    defaults: {
-      contextPruning: {
-        mode: "adaptive",
-        keepLastAssistants: 3,
-        softTrimRatio: 0.3,
-        hardClearRatio: 0.5,
-        minPrunableToolChars: 50000,
-        softTrim: { maxChars: 4000, headChars: 1500, tailChars: 1500 },
-        hardClear: { enabled: true, placeholder: "[Old tool result content cleared]" },
-        // Optional: restrict pruning to specific tools (deny wins; supports "*" wildcards)
-        tools: { deny: ["browser", "canvas"] },
-      },
-    },
-  },
-}
-```
-
-See [/concepts/session-pruning](/concepts/session-pruning) for behavior details.
-
-#### `agents.defaults.compaction` (reserve headroom + memory flush)
-
-`agents.defaults.compaction.mode` selects the compaction summarization strategy. Defaults to `default`; set `safeguard` to enable chunked summarization for very long histories. See [/concepts/compaction](/concepts/compaction).
-
-`agents.defaults.compaction.reserveTokensFloor` enforces a minimum `reserveTokens`
-value for Pi compaction (default: `20000`). Set it to `0` to disable the floor.
-
-`agents.defaults.compaction.memoryFlush` runs a **silent** agentic turn before
-auto-compaction, instructing the model to store durable memories on disk (e.g.
-`memory/YYYY-MM-DD.md`). It triggers when the session token estimate crosses a
-soft threshold below the compaction limit.
-
-Legacy defaults:
-
-- `memoryFlush.enabled`: `true`
-- `memoryFlush.softThresholdTokens`: `4000`
-- `memoryFlush.prompt` / `memoryFlush.systemPrompt`: built-in defaults with `NO_REPLY`
-- Note: memory flush is skipped when the session workspace is read-only
-  (`agents.defaults.sandbox.workspaceAccess: "ro"` or `"none"`).
-
-Example (tuned):
-
-```json5
-{
-  agents: {
-    defaults: {
-      compaction: {
-        mode: "safeguard",
-        reserveTokensFloor: 24000,
-        memoryFlush: {
-          enabled: true,
-          softThresholdTokens: 6000,
-          systemPrompt: "Session nearing compaction. Store durable memories now.",
-          prompt: "Write any lasting notes to memory/YYYY-MM-DD.md; reply with NO_REPLY if nothing to store.",
-        },
-      },
-    },
-  },
-}
-```
-
-Block streaming:
-
-- `agents.defaults.blockStreamingDefault`: `"on"`/`"off"` (default off).
-- Channel overrides: `*.blockStreaming` (and per-account variants) to force block streaming on/off.
-  Non-Telegram channels require an explicit `*.blockStreaming: true` to enable block replies.
-- `agents.defaults.blockStreamingBreak`: `"text_end"` or `"message_end"` (default: text_end).
-- `agents.defaults.blockStreamingChunk`: soft chunking for streamed blocks. Defaults to
-  800–1200 chars, prefers paragraph breaks (`\n\n`), then newlines, then sentences.
-  Example:
-  ```json5
-  {
-    agents: { defaults: { blockStreamingChunk: { minChars: 800, maxChars: 1200 } } },
-  }
-  ```
-- `agents.defaults.blockStreamingCoalesce`: merge streamed blocks before sending.
-  Defaults to `{ idleMs: 1000 }` and inherits `minChars` from `blockStreamingChunk`
-  with `maxChars` capped to the channel text limit. Signal/Slack/Discord/Google Chat default
-  to `minChars: 1500` unless overridden.
-  Channel overrides: `channels.whatsapp.blockStreamingCoalesce`, `channels.telegram.blockStreamingCoalesce`,
-  `channels.discord.blockStreamingCoalesce`, `channels.slack.blockStreamingCoalesce`, `channels.mattermost.blockStreamingCoalesce`,
-  `channels.signal.blockStreamingCoalesce`, `channels.imessage.blockStreamingCoalesce`, `channels.msteams.blockStreamingCoalesce`,
-  `channels.googlechat.blockStreamingCoalesce`
-  (and per-account variants).
-- `agents.defaults.humanDelay`: randomized pause between **block replies** after the first.
-  Modes: `off` (default), `natural` (800–2500ms), `custom` (use `minMs`/`maxMs`).
-  Per-agent override: `agents.list[].humanDelay`.
-  Example:
-  ```json5
-  {
-    agents: { defaults: { humanDelay: { mode: "natural" } } },
-  }
-  ```
-  See [/concepts/streaming](/concepts/streaming) for behavior + chunking details.
-
-Typing indicators:
-
-- `agents.defaults.typingMode`: `"never" | "instant" | "thinking" | "message"`. Defaults to
-  `instant` for direct chats / mentions and `message` for unmentioned group chats.
-- `session.typingMode`: per-session override for the mode.
-- `agents.defaults.typingIntervalSeconds`: how often the typing signal is refreshed (default: 6s).
-- `session.typingIntervalSeconds`: per-session override for the refresh interval.
-  See [/concepts/typing-indicators](/concepts/typing-indicators) for behavior details.
-
-`agents.defaults.model.primary` should be set as `provider/model` (e.g. `anthropic/claude-opus-4-5`).
-Aliases come from `agents.defaults.models.*.alias` (e.g. `Opus`).
-If you omit the provider, OpenClaw currently assumes `anthropic` as a temporary
-deprecation fallback.
-Z.AI models are available as `zai/<model>` (e.g. `zai/glm-4.7`) and require
-`ZAI_API_KEY` (or legacy `Z_AI_API_KEY`) in the environment.
-
-`agents.defaults.heartbeat` configures periodic heartbeat runs:
-
-- `every`: duration string (`ms`, `s`, `m`, `h`); default unit minutes. Default:
-  `30m`. Set `0m` to disable.
-- `model`: optional override model for heartbeat runs (`provider/model`).
-- `includeReasoning`: when `true`, heartbeats will also deliver the separate `Reasoning:` message when available (same shape as `/reasoning on`). Default: `false`.
-- `session`: optional session key to control which session the heartbeat runs in. Default: `main`.
-- `to`: optional recipient override (channel-specific id, e.g. E.164 for WhatsApp, chat id for Telegram).
-- `target`: optional delivery channel (`last`, `whatsapp`, `telegram`, `discord`, `slack`, `msteams`, `signal`, `imessage`, `none`). Default: `last`.
-- `prompt`: optional override for the heartbeat body (default: `Read HEARTBEAT.md if it exists (workspace context). Follow it strictly. Do not infer or repeat old tasks from prior chats. If nothing needs attention, reply HEARTBEAT_OK.`). Overrides are sent verbatim; include a `Read HEARTBEAT.md` line if you still want the file read.
-- `ackMaxChars`: max chars allowed after `HEARTBEAT_OK` before delivery (default: 300).
-
-Per-agent heartbeats:
-
-- Set `agents.list[].heartbeat` to enable or override heartbeat settings for a specific agent.
-- If any agent entry defines `heartbeat`, **only those agents** run heartbeats; defaults
-  become the shared baseline for those agents.
-
-Heartbeats run full agent turns. Shorter intervals burn more tokens; be mindful
-of `every`, keep `HEARTBEAT.md` tiny, and/or choose a cheaper `model`.
-
-`tools.exec` configures background exec defaults:
-
-- `backgroundMs`: time before auto-background (ms, default 10000)
-- `timeoutSec`: auto-kill after this runtime (seconds, default 1800)
-- `cleanupMs`: how long to keep finished sessions in memory (ms, default 1800000)
-- `notifyOnExit`: enqueue a system event + request heartbeat when backgrounded exec exits (default true)
-- `applyPatch.enabled`: enable experimental `apply_patch` (OpenAI/OpenAI Codex only; default false)
-- `applyPatch.allowModels`: optional allowlist of model ids (e.g. `gpt-5.2` or `openai/gpt-5.2`)
-  Note: `applyPatch` is only under `tools.exec`.
-
-`tools.web` configures web search + fetch tools:
-
-- `tools.web.search.enabled` (default: true when key is present)
-- `tools.web.search.apiKey` (recommended: set via `openclaw configure --section web`, or use `BRAVE_API_KEY` env var)
-- `tools.web.search.maxResults` (1–10, default 5)
-- `tools.web.search.timeoutSeconds` (default 30)
-- `tools.web.search.cacheTtlMinutes` (default 15)
-- `tools.web.fetch.enabled` (default true)
-- `tools.web.fetch.maxChars` (default 50000)
-- `tools.web.fetch.maxCharsCap` (default 50000; clamps maxChars from config/tool calls)
-- `tools.web.fetch.timeoutSeconds` (default 30)
-- `tools.web.fetch.cacheTtlMinutes` (default 15)
-- `tools.web.fetch.userAgent` (optional override)
-- `tools.web.fetch.readability` (default true; disable to use basic HTML cleanup only)
-- `tools.web.fetch.firecrawl.enabled` (default true when an API key is set)
-- `tools.web.fetch.firecrawl.apiKey` (optional; defaults to `FIRECRAWL_API_KEY`)
-- `tools.web.fetch.firecrawl.baseUrl` (default https://api.firecrawl.dev)
-- `tools.web.fetch.firecrawl.onlyMainContent` (default true)
-- `tools.web.fetch.firecrawl.maxAgeMs` (optional)
-- `tools.web.fetch.firecrawl.timeoutSeconds` (optional)
-
-`tools.media` configures inbound media understanding (image/audio/video):
-
-- `tools.media.models`: shared model list (capability-tagged; used after per-cap lists).
-- `tools.media.concurrency`: max concurrent capability runs (default 2).
-- `tools.media.image` / `tools.media.audio` / `tools.media.video`:
-  - `enabled`: opt-out switch (default true when models are configured).
-  - `prompt`: optional prompt override (image/video append a `maxChars` hint automatically).
-  - `maxChars`: max output characters (default 500 for image/video; unset for audio).
-  - `maxBytes`: max media size to send (defaults: image 10MB, audio 20MB, video 50MB).
-  - `timeoutSeconds`: request timeout (defaults: image 60s, audio 60s, video 120s).
-  - `language`: optional audio hint.
-  - `attachments`: attachment policy (`mode`, `maxAttachments`, `prefer`).
-  - `scope`: optional gating (first match wins) with `match.channel`, `match.chatType`, or `match.keyPrefix`.
-  - `models`: ordered list of model entries; failures or oversize media fall back to the next entry.
-- Each `models[]` entry:
-  - Provider entry (`type: "provider"` or omitted):
-    - `provider`: API provider id (`openai`, `anthropic`, `google`/`gemini`, `groq`, etc).
-    - `model`: model id override (required for image; defaults to `gpt-4o-mini-transcribe`/`whisper-large-v3-turbo` for audio providers, and `gemini-3-flash-preview` for video).
-    - `profile` / `preferredProfile`: auth profile selection.
-  - CLI entry (`type: "cli"`):
-    - `command`: executable to run.
-    - `args`: templated args (supports `{{MediaPath}}`, `{{Prompt}}`, `{{MaxChars}}`, etc).
-  - `capabilities`: optional list (`image`, `audio`, `video`) to gate a shared entry. Defaults when omitted: `openai`/`anthropic`/`minimax` → image, `google` → image+audio+video, `groq` → audio.
-  - `prompt`, `maxChars`, `maxBytes`, `timeoutSeconds`, `language` can be overridden per entry.
-
-If no models are configured (or `enabled: false`), understanding is skipped; the model still receives the original attachments.
-
-Provider auth follows the standard model auth order (auth profiles, env vars like `OPENAI_API_KEY`/`GROQ_API_KEY`/`GEMINI_API_KEY`, or `models.providers.*.apiKey`).
-
-Example:
-
-```json5
-{
-  tools: {
-    media: {
-      audio: {
-        enabled: true,
-        maxBytes: 20971520,
-        scope: {
-          default: "deny",
-          rules: [{ action: "allow", match: { chatType: "direct" } }],
-        },
-        models: [
-          { provider: "openai", model: "gpt-4o-mini-transcribe" },
-          { type: "cli", command: "whisper", args: ["--model", "base", "{{MediaPath}}"] },
-        ],
-      },
-      video: {
-        enabled: true,
-        maxBytes: 52428800,
-        models: [{ provider: "google", model: "gemini-3-flash-preview" }],
-      },
-    },
-  },
-}
-```
-
-`agents.defaults.subagents` configures sub-agent defaults:
-
-- `model`: default model for spawned sub-agents (string or `{ primary, fallbacks }`). If omitted, sub-agents inherit the caller’s model unless overridden per agent or per call.
-- `maxConcurrent`: max concurrent sub-agent runs (default 1)
-- `archiveAfterMinutes`: auto-archive sub-agent sessions after N minutes (default 60; set `0` to disable)
-- Per-subagent tool policy: `tools.subagents.tools.allow` / `tools.subagents.tools.deny` (deny wins)
-
-`tools.profile` sets a **base tool allowlist** before `tools.allow`/`tools.deny`:
-
-- `minimal`: `session_status` only
-- `coding`: `group:fs`, `group:runtime`, `group:sessions`, `group:memory`, `image`
-- `messaging`: `group:messaging`, `sessions_list`, `sessions_history`, `sessions_send`, `session_status`
-- `full`: no restriction (same as unset)
-
-Per-agent override: `agents.list[].tools.profile`.
-
-Example (messaging-only by default, allow Slack + Discord tools too):
-
-```json5
-{
-  tools: {
-    profile: "messaging",
-    allow: ["slack", "discord"],
-  },
-}
-```
-
-Example (coding profile, but deny exec/process everywhere):
-
-```json5
-{
-  tools: {
-    profile: "coding",
-    deny: ["group:runtime"],
-  },
-}
-```
-
-`tools.byProvider` lets you **further restrict** tools for specific providers (or a single `provider/model`).
-Per-agent override: `agents.list[].tools.byProvider`.
-
-Order: base profile → provider profile → allow/deny policies.
-Provider keys accept either `provider` (e.g. `google-antigravity`) or `provider/model`
-(e.g. `openai/gpt-5.2`).
-
-Example (keep global coding profile, but minimal tools for Google Antigravity):
-
-```json5
-{
-  tools: {
-    profile: "coding",
-    byProvider: {
-      "google-antigravity": { profile: "minimal" },
-    },
-  },
-}
-```
-
-Example (provider/model-specific allowlist):
-
-```json5
-{
-  tools: {
-    allow: ["group:fs", "group:runtime", "sessions_list"],
-    byProvider: {
-      "openai/gpt-5.2": { allow: ["group:fs", "sessions_list"] },
-    },
-  },
-}
-```

-`tools.allow` / `tools.deny` configure a global tool allow/deny policy (deny wins).
-Matching is case-insensitive and supports `*` wildcards (`"*"` means all tools).
-This is applied even when the Docker sandbox is **off**.
-
-Example (disable browser/canvas everywhere):
-
-```json5
-{
-  tools: { deny: ["browser", "canvas"] },
-}
-```
-
-Tool groups (shorthands) work in **global** and **per-agent** tool policies:
-
-- `group:runtime`: `exec`, `bash`, `process`
-- `group:fs`: `read`, `write`, `edit`, `apply_patch`
-- `group:sessions`: `sessions_list`, `sessions_history`, `sessions_send`, `sessions_spawn`, `session_status`
-- `group:memory`: `memory_search`, `memory_get`
-- `group:web`: `web_search`, `web_fetch`
-- `group:ui`: `browser`, `canvas`
-- `group:automation`: `cron`, `gateway`
-- `group:messaging`: `message`
-- `group:nodes`: `nodes`
-- `group:openclaw`: all built-in OpenClaw tools (excludes provider plugins)
-
-`tools.elevated` controls elevated (host) exec access:
-
-- `enabled`: allow elevated mode (default true)
-- `allowFrom`: per-channel allowlists (empty = disabled)
-  - `whatsapp`: E.164 numbers
-  - `telegram`: chat ids or usernames
-  - `discord`: user ids or usernames (falls back to `channels.discord.dm.allowFrom` if omitted)
-  - `signal`: E.164 numbers
-  - `imessage`: handles/chat ids
-  - `webchat`: session ids or usernames
-
-Example:
-
-```json5
-{
-  tools: {
-    elevated: {
-      enabled: true,
-      allowFrom: {
-        whatsapp: ["+15555550123"],

+
+## Strict validation
+
+<Warning>
+OpenClaw only accepts configurations that fully match the schema. Unknown keys, malformed types, or invalid values cause the Gateway to **refuse to start**. The only root-level exception is `$schema` (string), so editors can attach JSON Schema metadata.
+</Warning>
 
-- `tools.elevated` is the global baseline. `agents.list[].tools.elevated` can only further restrict (both must allow).
-- `/elevated on|off|ask|full` stores state per session key; inline directives apply to a single message.
-- Elevated `exec` runs on the host and bypasses sandboxing.
-- Tool policy still applies; if `exec` is denied, elevated cannot be used.
-
-`agents.defaults.maxConcurrent` sets the maximum number of embedded agent runs that can
-execute in parallel across sessions. Each session is still serialized (one run
-per session key at a time). Default: 1.
+When validation fails:
 
-### `agents.defaults.sandbox`
+- The Gateway does not boot
+- Only diagnostic commands work (`openclaw doctor`, `openclaw logs`, `openclaw health`, `openclaw status`)
+- Run `openclaw doctor` to see exact issues
+- Run `openclaw doctor --fix` (or `--yes`) to apply repairs
 
-Optional **Docker sandboxing** for the embedded agent. Intended for non-main
-sessions so they cannot access your host system.
+## Common tasks
 
-Details: [Sandboxing](/gateway/sandboxing)

+  <Accordion title="Set up a channel (WhatsApp, Telegram, Discord, etc.)">
+    Each channel has its own config section under `channels.<provider>`. See the dedicated channel page for setup steps:
 
-Defaults (if enabled):
+    - [WhatsApp](/channels/whatsapp) — `channels.whatsapp`

-- scope: `"agent"` (one container + workspace per agent)
-- Debian bookworm-slim based image
-- agent workspace access: `workspaceAccess: "none"` (default)
-  - `"none"`: use a per-scope sandbox workspace under `~/.openclaw/sandboxes`
-- `"ro"`: keep the sandbox workspace at `/workspace`, and mount the agent workspace read-only at `/agent` (disables `write`/`edit`/`apply_patch`)
-  - `"rw"`: mount the agent workspace read/write at `/workspace`
-- auto-prune: idle > 24h OR age > 7d
-- tool policy: allow only `exec`, `process`, `read`, `write`, `edit`, `apply_patch`, `sessions_list`, `sessions_history`, `sessions_send`, `sessions_spawn`, `session_status` (deny wins)
-  - configure via `tools.sandbox.tools`, override per-agent via `agents.list[].tools.sandbox.tools`
-  - tool group shorthands supported in sandbox policy: `group:runtime`, `group:fs`, `group:sessions`, `group:memory` (see [Sandbox vs Tool Policy vs Elevated](/gateway/sandbox-vs-tool-policy-vs-elevated#tool-groups-shorthands))
-- optional sandboxed browser (Chromium + CDP, noVNC observer)
-- hardening knobs: `network`, `user`, `pidsLimit`, `memory`, `cpus`, `ulimits`, `seccompProfile`, `apparmorProfile`
+    All channels share the same DM policy pattern:
 
-Warning: `scope: "shared"` means a shared container and shared workspace. No
-cross-session isolation. Use `scope: "session"` for per-session isolation.
+    ```json5
+    {
+      channels: {

-
-Build the default sandbox image once with:
+    }
+    ```
 
-```bash
-scripts/sandbox-setup.sh
-```
-
-Note: sandbox containers default to `network: "none"`; set `agents.defaults.sandbox.docker.network`
-to `"bridge"` (or your custom network) if the agent needs outbound access.
-
-Note: inbound attachments are staged into the active workspace at `media/inbound/*`. With `workspaceAccess: "rw"`, that means files are written into the agent workspace.
-
-Note: `docker.binds` mounts additional host directories; global and per-agent binds are merged.
-
-Build the optional browser image with:
-
-```bash
-scripts/sandbox-browser-setup.sh
-```
-
-When `agents.defaults.sandbox.browser.enabled=true`, the browser tool uses a sandboxed
-Chromium instance (CDP). If noVNC is enabled (default when headless=false),
-the noVNC URL is injected into the system prompt so the agent can reference it.
-This does not require `browser.enabled` in the main config; the sandbox control
-URL is injected per session.
+    - `agents.defaults.models` defines the model catalog and acts as the allowlist for `/model`.
+    - Model refs use `provider/model` format (e.g. `anthropic/claude-opus-4-6`).
+    - See [Models CLI](/concepts/models) for switching models in chat and [Model Failover](/concepts/model-failover) for auth rotation and fallback behavior.
+    - For custom/self-hosted providers, see [Custom providers](/gateway/configuration-reference#custom-providers-and-base-urls) in the reference.
 
-`agents.defaults.sandbox.browser.allowHostControl` (default: false) allows
-sandboxed sessions to explicitly target the **host** browser control server
-via the browser tool (`target: "host"`). Leave this off if you want strict
-sandbox isolation.
+  </Accordion>
 
-Allowlists for remote control:
+  <Accordion title="Control who can message the bot">
+    DM access is controlled per channel via `dmPolicy`:
 
-- `allowedControlUrls`: exact control URLs permitted for `target: "custom"`.
-- `allowedControlHosts`: hostnames permitted (hostname only, no port).
-- `allowedControlPorts`: ports permitted (defaults: http=80, https=443).
-  Defaults: all allowlists are unset (no restriction). `allowHostControl` defaults to false.
+    - `"pairing"` (default): unknown senders get a one-time pairing code to approve
+    - `"allowlist"`: only senders in `allowFrom` (or the paired allow store)
+    - `"open"`: allow all inbound DMs (requires `allowFrom: ["*"]`)
+    - `"disabled"`: ignore all DMs
 
-### `models` (custom providers + base URLs)
+    For groups, use `groupPolicy` + `groupAllowFrom` or channel-specific allowlists.
 
-OpenClaw uses the **pi-coding-agent** model catalog. You can add custom providers
-(LiteLLM, local OpenAI-compatible servers, Anthropic proxies, etc.) by writing
-`~/.openclaw/agents/<agentId>/agent/models.json` or by defining the same schema inside your
-OpenClaw config under `models.providers`.

-  session: {
-    scope: "per-sender",
-    dmScope: "main",
-    identityLinks: {
-      alice: ["telegram:123456789", "discord:987654321012345678"],
-    },
-    reset: {

-      atHour: 4,
-      idleMinutes: 60,
-    },
-    resetByType: {
-      thread: { mode: "daily", atHour: 4 },
-      dm: { mode: "idle", idleMinutes: 240 },
-      group: { mode: "idle", idleMinutes: 120 },
-    },
-    resetTriggers: ["/new", "/reset"],
-    // Default is already per-agent under ~/.openclaw/agents/<agentId>/sessions/sessions.json
-    // You can override with {agentId} templating:
-    store: "~/.openclaw/agents/{agentId}/sessions/sessions.json",
-    // Direct chats collapse to agent:<agentId>:<mainKey> (default: "main").
-    mainKey: "main",
-    agentToAgent: {
-      // Max ping-pong reply turns between requester/target (0–5).
-      maxPingPongTurns: 5,
-    },
-    sendPolicy: {
-      rules: [{ action: "deny", match: { channel: "discord", chatType: "group" } }],
-      default: "allow",
-    },
-  },
-}
-```
-
-Fields:
-
-- `mainKey`: direct-chat bucket key (default: `"main"`). Useful when you want to “rename” the primary DM thread without changing `agentId`.
-  - Sandbox note: `agents.defaults.sandbox.mode: "non-main"` uses this key to detect the main session. Any session key that does not match `mainKey` (groups/channels) is sandboxed.
-- `dmScope`: how DM sessions are grouped (default: `"main"`).
-  - `main`: all DMs share the main session for continuity.
-  - `per-peer`: isolate DMs by sender id across channels.
-  - `per-channel-peer`: isolate DMs per channel + sender (recommended for multi-user inboxes).
-  - `per-account-channel-peer`: isolate DMs per account + channel + sender (recommended for multi-account inboxes).
-  - Secure DM mode (recommended): set `session.dmScope: "per-channel-peer"` when multiple people can DM the bot (shared inboxes, multi-person allowlists, or `dmPolicy: "open"`).
-- `identityLinks`: map canonical ids to provider-prefixed peers so the same person shares a DM session across channels when using `per-peer`, `per-channel-peer`, or `per-account-channel-peer`.
-  - Example: `alice: ["telegram:123456789", "discord:987654321012345678"]`.
-- `reset`: primary reset policy. Defaults to daily resets at 4:00 AM local time on the gateway host.
-  - `mode`: `daily` or `idle` (default: `daily` when `reset` is present).
-  - `atHour`: local hour (0-23) for the daily reset boundary.
-  - `idleMinutes`: sliding idle window in minutes. When daily + idle are both configured, whichever expires first wins.
-- `resetByType`: per-session overrides for `dm`, `group`, and `thread`.
-  - If you only set legacy `session.idleMinutes` without any `reset`/`resetByType`, OpenClaw stays in idle-only mode for backward compatibility.
-- `heartbeatIdleMinutes`: optional idle override for heartbeat checks (daily reset still applies when enabled).
-- `agentToAgent.maxPingPongTurns`: max reply-back turns between requester/target (0–5, default 5).
-- `sendPolicy.default`: `allow` or `deny` fallback when no rule matches.
-- `sendPolicy.rules[]`: match by `channel`, `chatType` (`direct|group|room`), or `keyPrefix` (e.g. `cron:`). First deny wins; otherwise allow.
-
-### `skills` (skills config)
-
-Controls bundled allowlist, install preferences, extra skill folders, and per-skill
-overrides. Applies to **bundled** skills and `~/.openclaw/skills` (workspace skills
-still win on name conflicts).
-
-Fields:
-
-- `allowBundled`: optional allowlist for **bundled** skills only. If set, only those
-  bundled skills are eligible (managed/workspace skills unaffected).
-- `load.extraDirs`: additional skill directories to scan (lowest precedence).
-- `install.preferBrew`: prefer brew installers when available (default: true).
-- `install.nodeManager`: node installer preference (`npm` | `pnpm` | `yarn`, default: npm).
-- `entries.<skillKey>`: per-skill config overrides.
-
-Per-skill fields:
-
-- `enabled`: set `false` to disable a skill even if it’s bundled/installed.
-- `env`: environment variables injected for the agent run (only if not already set).
-- `apiKey`: optional convenience for skills that declare a primary env var (e.g. `nano-banana-pro` → `GEMINI_API_KEY`).
-
-Example:
-
-```json5
-{
-  skills: {
-    allowBundled: ["gemini", "peekaboo"],
-    load: {
-      extraDirs: ["~/Projects/agent-scripts/skills", "~/Projects/oss/some-skill-pack/skills"],

-### `plugins` (extensions)
-
-Controls plugin discovery, allow/deny, and per-plugin config. Plugins are loaded
-from `~/.openclaw/extensions`, `<workspace>/.openclaw/extensions`, plus any
-`plugins.load.paths` entries. **Config changes require a gateway restart.**
-See [/plugin](/plugin) for full usage.
+      bindings: [

+    }
+    ```
 
-Fields:
+    See [Multi-Agent](/concepts/multi-agent) and [full reference](/gateway/configuration-reference#multi-agent-routing) for binding rules and per-agent access profiles.
 
-- `enabled`: master toggle for plugin loading (default: true).
-- `allow`: optional allowlist of plugin ids; when set, only listed plugins load.
-- `deny`: optional denylist of plugin ids (deny wins).
-- `load.paths`: extra plugin files or directories to load (absolute or `~`).
-- `entries.<pluginId>`: per-plugin overrides.
-  - `enabled`: set `false` to disable.
-  - `config`: plugin-specific config object (validated by the plugin if provided).

-```
-
-### `browser` (openclaw-managed browser)
-
-OpenClaw can start a **dedicated, isolated** Chrome/Brave/Edge/Chromium instance for openclaw and expose a small loopback control service.
-Profiles can point at a **remote** Chromium-based browser via `profiles.<name>.cdpUrl`. Remote
-profiles are attach-only (start/stop/reset are disabled).
-
-`browser.cdpUrl` remains for legacy single-profile configs and as the base
-scheme/host for profiles that only set `cdpPort`.
-
-Defaults:
-
-- enabled: `true`
-- evaluateEnabled: `true` (set `false` to disable `act:evaluate` and `wait --fn`)
-- control service: loopback only (port derived from `gateway.port`, default `18791`)
-- CDP URL: `http://127.0.0.1:18792` (control service + 1, legacy single-profile)
-- profile color: `#FF4500` (lobster-orange)
-- Note: the control server is started by the running gateway (OpenClaw.app menubar, or `openclaw gateway`).
-- Auto-detect order: default browser if Chromium-based; otherwise Chrome → Brave → Edge → Chromium → Chrome Canary.
-
-```json5
-{
-  browser: {
-    enabled: true,
-    evaluateEnabled: true,
-    // cdpUrl: "http://127.0.0.1:18792", // legacy single-profile override
-    defaultProfile: "chrome",
-    profiles: {
-      openclaw: { cdpPort: 18800, color: "#FF4500" },

-    // attachOnly: false, // set true when tunneling a remote CDP to localhost
-  },
-}
-```
-
-### `ui` (Appearance)
+    }
+    ```
 
-Optional accent color used by the native apps for UI chrome (e.g. Talk Mode bubble tint).
+    - **Single file**: replaces the containing object
+    - **Array of files**: deep-merged in order (later wins)
+    - **Sibling keys**: merged after includes (override included values)
+    - **Nested includes**: supported up to 10 levels deep
+    - **Relative paths**: resolved relative to the including file
+    - **Error handling**: clear errors for missing files, parse errors, and circular includes
 
-If unset, clients fall back to a muted light-blue.
-
-```json5
-{
-  ui: {
-    seamColor: "#FF4500", // hex (RRGGBB or #RRGGBB)
-    // Optional: Control UI assistant identity override.
-    // If unset, the Control UI uses the active agent identity (config or IDENTITY.md).
-    assistant: {
-      name: "OpenClaw",
-      avatar: "CB", // emoji, short text, or image URL/data URI
-    },
-  },
-}
-```
-
-### `gateway` (Gateway server mode + bind)
-
-Use `gateway.mode` to explicitly declare whether this machine should run the Gateway.
-
-Defaults:
-
-- mode: **unset** (treated as “do not auto-start”)
-- bind: `loopback`
-- port: `18789` (single port for WS + HTTP)
-
-```json5
-{
-  gateway: {
-    mode: "local", // or "remote"
-    port: 18789, // WS + HTTP multiplex
-    bind: "loopback",
-    // controlUi: { enabled: true, basePath: "/openclaw" }
-    // auth: { mode: "token", token: "your-token" } // token gates WS + Control UI access
-    // tailscale: { mode: "off" | "serve" | "funnel" }
-  },
-}
-```
-
-Control UI base path:
-
-- `gateway.controlUi.basePath` sets the URL prefix where the Control UI is served.
-- Examples: `"/ui"`, `"/openclaw"`, `"/apps/openclaw"`.
-- Default: root (`/`) (unchanged).
-- `gateway.controlUi.root` sets the filesystem root for Control UI assets (default: `dist/control-ui`).
-- `gateway.controlUi.allowInsecureAuth` allows token-only auth for the Control UI when
-  device identity is omitted (typically over HTTP). Default: `false`. Prefer HTTPS
-  (Tailscale Serve) or `127.0.0.1`.
-- `gateway.controlUi.dangerouslyDisableDeviceAuth` disables device identity checks for the
-  Control UI (token/password only). Default: `false`. Break-glass only.
-
-Related docs:
-
-- [Control UI](/web/control-ui)
-- [Web overview](/web)
-- [Tailscale](/gateway/tailscale)
-- [Remote access](/gateway/remote)
-
-Trusted proxies:
-
-- `gateway.trustedProxies`: list of reverse proxy IPs that terminate TLS in front of the Gateway.
-- When a connection comes from one of these IPs, OpenClaw uses `x-forwarded-for` (or `x-real-ip`) to determine the client IP for local pairing checks and HTTP auth/local checks.
-- Only list proxies you fully control, and ensure they **overwrite** incoming `x-forwarded-for`.
-
-Notes:
-
-- `openclaw gateway` refuses to start unless `gateway.mode` is set to `local` (or you pass the override flag).
-- `gateway.port` controls the single multiplexed port used for WebSocket + HTTP (control UI, hooks, A2UI).
-- OpenAI Chat Completions endpoint: **disabled by default**; enable with `gateway.http.endpoints.chatCompletions.enabled: true`.
-- Precedence: `--port` > `OPENCLAW_GATEWAY_PORT` > `gateway.port` > default `18789`.
-- Gateway auth is required by default (token/password or Tailscale Serve identity). Non-loopback binds require a shared token/password.
-- The onboarding wizard generates a gateway token by default (even on loopback).
-- `gateway.remote.token` is **only** for remote CLI calls; it does not enable local gateway auth. `gateway.token` is ignored.
-
-Auth and Tailscale:
-
-- `gateway.auth.mode` sets the handshake requirements (`token` or `password`). When unset, token auth is assumed.
-- `gateway.auth.token` stores the shared token for token auth (used by the CLI on the same machine).
-- When `gateway.auth.mode` is set, only that method is accepted (plus optional Tailscale headers).
-- `gateway.auth.password` can be set here, or via `OPENCLAW_GATEWAY_PASSWORD` (recommended).
-- `gateway.auth.allowTailscale` allows Tailscale Serve identity headers
-  (`tailscale-user-login`) to satisfy auth when the request arrives on loopback
-  with `x-forwarded-for`, `x-forwarded-proto`, and `x-forwarded-host`. OpenClaw
-  verifies the identity by resolving the `x-forwarded-for` address via
-  `tailscale whois` before accepting it. When `true`, Serve requests do not need
-  a token/password; set `false` to require explicit credentials. Defaults to
-  `true` when `tailscale.mode = "serve"` and auth mode is not `password`.
-- `gateway.tailscale.mode: "serve"` uses Tailscale Serve (tailnet only, loopback bind).
-- `gateway.tailscale.mode: "funnel"` exposes the dashboard publicly; requires auth.
-- `gateway.tailscale.resetOnExit` resets Serve/Funnel config on shutdown.
-
-Remote client defaults (CLI):
-
-- `gateway.remote.url` sets the default Gateway WebSocket URL for CLI calls when `gateway.mode = "remote"`.
-- `gateway.remote.transport` selects the macOS remote transport (`ssh` default, `direct` for ws/wss). When `direct`, `gateway.remote.url` must be `ws://` or `wss://`. `ws://host` defaults to port `18789`.
-- `gateway.remote.token` supplies the token for remote calls (leave unset for no auth).
-- `gateway.remote.password` supplies the password for remote calls (leave unset for no auth).
-
-macOS app behavior:
-
-- OpenClaw.app watches `~/.openclaw/openclaw.json` and switches modes live when `gateway.mode` or `gateway.remote.url` changes.
-- If `gateway.mode` is unset but `gateway.remote.url` is set, the macOS app treats it as remote mode.
-- When you change connection mode in the macOS app, it writes `gateway.mode` (and `gateway.remote.url` + `gateway.remote.transport` in remote mode) back to the config file.

-### `gateway.reload` (Config hot reload)
+## Config hot reload
 
-The Gateway watches `~/.openclaw/openclaw.json` (or `OPENCLAW_CONFIG_PATH`) and applies changes automatically.
+The Gateway watches `~/.openclaw/openclaw.json` and applies changes automatically — no manual restart needed for most settings.
 
-Modes:

-#### Hot reload matrix (files + impact)
-
-Files watched:
-
-- `~/.openclaw/openclaw.json` (or `OPENCLAW_CONFIG_PATH`)
-
-Hot-applied (no full gateway restart):
-
-- `hooks` (webhook auth/path/mappings) + `hooks.gmail` (Gmail watcher restarted)
-- `browser` (browser control server restart)
-- `cron` (cron service restart + concurrency update)
-- `agents.defaults.heartbeat` (heartbeat runner restart)
-- `web` (WhatsApp web channel restart)
-- `telegram`, `discord`, `signal`, `imessage` (channel restarts)
-- `agent`, `models`, `routing`, `messages`, `session`, `whatsapp`, `logging`, `skills`, `ui`, `talk`, `identity`, `wizard` (dynamic reads)
-
-Requires full Gateway restart:
-
-- `gateway` (port/bind/auth/control UI/tailscale)
-- `bridge` (legacy)
-- `discovery`
-- `canvasHost`
-- `plugins`
-- Any unknown/unsupported config path (defaults to restart for safety)
-
-### Multi-instance isolation
-
-To run multiple gateways on one host (for redundancy or a rescue bot), isolate per-instance state + config and use unique ports:
-
-- `OPENCLAW_CONFIG_PATH` (per-instance config)
-- `OPENCLAW_STATE_DIR` (sessions/creds)
-- `agents.defaults.workspace` (memories)
-- `gateway.port` (unique per instance)
-
-Convenience flags (CLI):
-
-- `openclaw --dev …` → uses `~/.openclaw-dev` + shifts ports from base `19001`
-- `openclaw --profile <name> …` → uses `~/.openclaw-<name>` (port via config/env/flags)
-
-See [Gateway runbook](/gateway) for the derived port mapping (gateway/browser/canvas).
-See [Multiple gateways](/gateway/multiple-gateways) for browser/CDP port isolation details.
-
-Example:
-
-```bash
-OPENCLAW_CONFIG_PATH=~/.openclaw/a.json \
-OPENCLAW_STATE_DIR=~/.openclaw-a \
-openclaw gateway --port 19001
-```
-
-### `hooks` (Gateway webhooks)
-
-Enable a simple HTTP webhook endpoint on the Gateway HTTP server.
-
-Defaults:
-
-- enabled: `false`
-- path: `/hooks`
-- maxBodyBytes: `262144` (256 KB)
-
-```json5

+## Config RPC (programmatic updates)
 
-Mapping notes:
+<AccordionGroup>
+  <Accordion title="config.apply (full replace)">
+    Validates + writes the full config and restarts the Gateway in one step.
 
-- `match.path` matches the sub-path after `/hooks` (e.g. `/hooks/gmail` → `gmail`).
-- `match.source` matches a payload field (e.g. `{ source: "gmail" }`) so you can use a generic `/hooks/ingest` path.
-- Templates like `{{messages[0].subject}}` read from the payload.
-- `transform` can point to a JS/TS module that returns a hook action.
-- `deliver: true` sends the final reply to a channel; `channel` defaults to `last` (falls back to WhatsApp).
-- If there is no prior delivery route, set `channel` + `to` explicitly (required for Telegram/Discord/Google Chat/Slack/Signal/iMessage/MS Teams).
-- `model` overrides the LLM for this hook run (`provider/model` or alias; must be allowed if `agents.defaults.models` is set).
+    <Warning>
+    `config.apply` replaces the **entire config**. Use `config.patch` for partial updates, or `openclaw config set` for single keys.
+    </Warning>
 
-Gmail helper config (used by `openclaw webhooks gmail setup` / `run`):

-}
-```
+    - `raw` (string) — JSON5 payload for the entire config
+    - `baseHash` (optional) — config hash from `config.get` (required when config exists)
+    - `sessionKey` (optional) — session key for the post-restart wake-up ping
+    - `note` (optional) — note for the restart sentinel
+    - `restartDelayMs` (optional) — delay before restart (default 2000)
 
-Model override for Gmail hooks:
+    ```bash
+    openclaw gateway call config.get --params '{}'  # capture payload.hash
+    openclaw gateway call config.apply --params '{
+      "raw": "{ agents: { defaults: { workspace: \"~/.openclaw/workspace\" } } }",
+      "baseHash": "<hash>",
+      "sessionKey": "agent:main:whatsapp:dm:+15555550123"
+    }'
+    ```
 
-- `hooks.gmail.model` specifies a model to use for Gmail hook processing (defaults to session primary).
-- Accepts `provider/model` refs or aliases from `agents.defaults.models`.
-- Falls back to `agents.defaults.model.fallbacks`, then `agents.defaults.model.primary`, on auth/rate-limit/timeouts.
-- If `agents.defaults.models` is set, include the hooks model in the allowlist.
-- At startup, warns if the configured model is not in the model catalog or allowlist.
-- `hooks.gmail.thinking` sets the default thinking level for Gmail hooks and is overridden by per-hook `thinking`.
+  </Accordion>
 
-Gateway auto-start:
+  <Accordion title="config.patch (partial update)">
+    Merges a partial update into the existing config (JSON merge patch semantics):
 
-- If `hooks.enabled=true` and `hooks.gmail.account` is set, the Gateway starts
-  `gog gmail watch serve` on boot and auto-renews the watch.
-- Set `OPENCLAW_SKIP_GMAIL_WATCHER=1` to disable the auto-start (for manual runs).
-- Avoid running a separate `gog gmail watch serve` alongside the Gateway; it will
-  fail with `listen tcp 127.0.0.1:8788: bind: address already in use`.
+    - Objects merge recursively
+    - `null` deletes a key
+    - Arrays replace
 
-Note: when `tailscale.mode` is on, OpenClaw defaults `serve.path` to `/` so
-Tailscale can proxy `/gmail-pubsub` correctly (it strips the set-path prefix).
-If you need the backend to receive the prefixed path, set
-`hooks.gmail.tailscale.target` to a full URL (and align `serve.path`).
+    Params:
 
-### `canvasHost` (LAN/tailnet Canvas file server + live reload)
+    - `raw` (string) — JSON5 with just the keys to change
+    - `baseHash` (required) — config hash from `config.get`
+    - `sessionKey`, `note`, `restartDelayMs` — same as `config.apply`
 
-The Gateway serves a directory of HTML/CSS/JS over HTTP so iOS/Android nodes can simply `canvas.navigate` to it.
+    ```bash
+    openclaw gateway call config.patch --params '{
+      "raw": "{ channels: { telegram: { groups: { \"*\": { requireMention: false } } } } }",
+      "baseHash": "<hash>"
+    }'
+    ```
 
-Default root: `~/.openclaw/workspace/canvas`  
-Default port: `18793` (chosen to avoid the openclaw browser CDP port `18792`)  
-The server listens on the **gateway bind host** (LAN or Tailnet) so nodes can reach it.
+  </Accordion>
+</AccordionGroup>
 
-The server:
+## Environment variables
 
-- serves files under `canvasHost.root`
-- injects a tiny live-reload client into served HTML
-- watches the directory and broadcasts reloads over a WebSocket endpoint at `/__openclaw__/ws`
-- auto-creates a starter `index.html` when the directory is empty (so you see something immediately)
-- also serves A2UI at `/__openclaw__/a2ui/` and is advertised to nodes as `canvasHostUrl`
-  (always used by nodes for Canvas/A2UI)
+OpenClaw reads env vars from the parent process plus:
 
-Disable live reload (and file watching) if the directory is large or you hit `EMFILE`:
+- `.env` from the current working directory (if present)
+- `~/.openclaw/.env` (global fallback)
 
-- config: `canvasHost: { liveReload: false }`
+Neither file overrides existing env vars. You can also set inline env vars in config:
 
 ```json5
 {
-  canvasHost: {
-    root: "~/.openclaw/workspace/canvas",
-    port: 18793,
-    liveReload: true,
+  env: {
+    OPENROUTER_API_KEY: "sk-or-...",
+    vars: { GROQ_API_KEY: "gsk-..." },
   },
 }
 ```
 
-Changes to `canvasHost.*` require a gateway restart (config reload will restart).
-
-Disable with:
-
-- config: `canvasHost: { enabled: false }`
-- env: `OPENCLAW_SKIP_CANVAS_HOST=1`
-
-### `bridge` (legacy TCP bridge, removed)
-
-Current builds no longer include the TCP bridge listener; `bridge.*` config keys are ignored.
-Nodes connect over the Gateway WebSocket. This section is kept for historical reference.
-
-Legacy behavior:
-
-- The Gateway could expose a simple TCP bridge for nodes (iOS/Android), typically on port `18790`.
-
-Defaults:
-
-- enabled: `true`
-- port: `18790`
-- bind: `lan` (binds to `0.0.0.0`)
-
-Bind modes:
-
-- `lan`: `0.0.0.0` (reachable on any interface, including LAN/Wi‑Fi and Tailscale)
-- `tailnet`: bind only to the machine’s Tailscale IP (recommended for Vienna ⇄ London)
-- `loopback`: `127.0.0.1` (local only)
-- `auto`: prefer tailnet IP if present, else `lan`
-
-TLS:
-
-- `bridge.tls.enabled`: enable TLS for bridge connections (TLS-only when enabled).
-- `bridge.tls.autoGenerate`: generate a self-signed cert when no cert/key are present (default: true).
-- `bridge.tls.certPath` / `bridge.tls.keyPath`: PEM paths for the bridge certificate + private key.
-- `bridge.tls.caPath`: optional PEM CA bundle (custom roots or future mTLS).
-
-When TLS is enabled, the Gateway advertises `bridgeTls=1` and `bridgeTlsSha256` in discovery TXT
-records so nodes can pin the certificate. Manual connections use trust-on-first-use if no
-fingerprint is stored yet.
-Auto-generated certs require `openssl` on PATH; if generation fails, the bridge will not start.
+<Accordion title="Shell env import (optional)">
+  If enabled and expected keys aren't set, OpenClaw runs your login shell and imports only the missing keys:
 
 ```json5
 {
-  bridge: {
-    enabled: true,
-    port: 18790,
-    bind: "tailnet",
-    tls: {
-      enabled: true,
-      // Uses ~/.openclaw/bridge/tls/bridge-{cert,key}.pem when omitted.
-      // certPath: "~/.openclaw/bridge/tls/bridge-cert.pem",
-      // keyPath: "~/.openclaw/bridge/tls/bridge-key.pem"
-    },
+  env: {
+    shellEnv: { enabled: true, timeoutMs: 15000 },
   },
 }
 ```
 
-### `discovery.mdns` (Bonjour / mDNS broadcast mode)
+Env var equivalent: `OPENCLAW_LOAD_SHELL_ENV=1`
+</Accordion>
 
-Controls LAN mDNS discovery broadcasts (`_openclaw-gw._tcp`).
-
-- `minimal` (default): omit `cliPath` + `sshPort` from TXT records
-- `full`: include `cliPath` + `sshPort` in TXT records
-- `off`: disable mDNS broadcasts entirely
-- Hostname: defaults to `openclaw` (advertises `openclaw.local`). Override with `OPENCLAW_MDNS_HOSTNAME`.
+<Accordion title="Env var substitution in config values">
+  Reference env vars in any config string value with `${VAR_NAME}`:
 
 ```json5
 {
-  discovery: { mdns: { mode: "minimal" } },
+  gateway: { auth: { token: "${OPENCLAW_GATEWAY_TOKEN}" } },
+  models: { providers: { custom: { apiKey: "${CUSTOM_API_KEY}" } } },
 }
 ```
 
-### `discovery.wideArea` (Wide-Area Bonjour / unicast DNS‑SD)
-
-When enabled, the Gateway writes a unicast DNS-SD zone for `_openclaw-gw._tcp` under `~/.openclaw/dns/` using the configured discovery domain (example: `openclaw.internal.`).
+Rules:
 
-To make iOS/Android discover across networks (Vienna ⇄ London), pair this with:
+- Only uppercase names matched: `[A-Z_][A-Z0-9_]*`
+- Missing/empty vars throw an error at load time
+- Escape with `$${VAR}` for literal output
+- Works inside `$include` files
+- Inline substitution: `"${BASE}/v1"` → `"https://api.example.com/v1"`
 
-- a DNS server on the gateway host serving your chosen domain (CoreDNS is recommended)
-- Tailscale **split DNS** so clients resolve that domain via the gateway DNS server
+</Accordion>
 
-One-time setup helper (gateway host):
-
-```bash
-openclaw dns setup --apply
-```
-
-```json5
-{
-  discovery: { wideArea: { enabled: true } },
-}
-```

-- The always-on process that owns the single Baileys/Telegram connection and the control/event plane.
-- Replaces the legacy `gateway` command. CLI entry point: `openclaw gateway`.
-- Runs until stopped; exits non-zero on fatal errors so the supervisor restarts it.
+## 5-minute local startup
 
-## How to run (local)
+<Steps>
+  <Step title="Start the Gateway">
 
 ```bash
 openclaw gateway --port 18789
-# for full debug/trace logs in stdio:
+# debug/trace mirrored to stdio
 openclaw gateway --port 18789 --verbose
-# if the port is busy, terminate listeners then start:
+# force-kill listener on selected port, then start
 openclaw gateway --force
-# dev loop (auto-reload on TS changes):
-pnpm gateway:watch
 ```
 
-- Config hot reload watches `~/.openclaw/openclaw.json` (or `OPENCLAW_CONFIG_PATH`).
-  - Default mode: `gateway.reload.mode="hybrid"` (hot-apply safe changes, restart on critical).
-  - Hot reload uses in-process restart via **SIGUSR1** when needed.
-  - Disable with `gateway.reload.mode="off"`.
-- Binds WebSocket control plane to `127.0.0.1:<port>` (default 18789).
-- The same port also serves HTTP (control UI, hooks, A2UI). Single-port multiplex.
-  - OpenAI Chat Completions (HTTP): [`/v1/chat/completions`](/gateway/openai-http-api).
-  - OpenResponses (HTTP): [`/v1/responses`](/gateway/openresponses-http-api).
-  - Tools Invoke (HTTP): [`/tools/invoke`](/gateway/tools-invoke-http-api).
-- Starts a Canvas file server by default on `canvasHost.port` (default `18793`), serving `http://<gateway-host>:18793/__openclaw__/canvas/` from `~/.openclaw/workspace/canvas`. Disable with `canvasHost.enabled=false` or `OPENCLAW_SKIP_CANVAS_HOST=1`.
-- Logs to stdout; use launchd/systemd to keep it alive and rotate logs.
-- Pass `--verbose` to mirror debug logging (handshakes, req/res, events) from the log file into stdio when troubleshooting.
-- `--force` uses `lsof` to find listeners on the chosen port, sends SIGTERM, logs what it killed, then starts the gateway (fails fast if `lsof` is missing).
-- If you run under a supervisor (launchd/systemd/mac app child-process mode), a stop/restart typically sends **SIGTERM**; older builds may surface this as `pnpm` `ELIFECYCLE` exit code **143** (SIGTERM), which is a normal shutdown, not a crash.
-- **SIGUSR1** triggers an in-process restart when authorized (gateway tool/config apply/update, or enable `commands.restart` for manual restarts).
-- Gateway auth is required by default: set `gateway.auth.token` (or `OPENCLAW_GATEWAY_TOKEN`) or `gateway.auth.password`. Clients must send `connect.params.auth.token/password` unless using Tailscale Serve identity.
-- The wizard now generates a token by default, even on loopback.
-- Port precedence: `--port` > `OPENCLAW_GATEWAY_PORT` > `gateway.port` > default `18789`.
+  </Step>
 
-## Remote access
-
-- Tailscale/VPN preferred; otherwise SSH tunnel:
-  ```bash
-  ssh -N -L 18789:127.0.0.1:18789 user@host
-  ```
-- Clients then connect to `ws://127.0.0.1:18789` through the tunnel.
-- If a token is configured, clients must include it in `connect.params.auth.token` even over the tunnel.

-## Multiple gateways (same host)
-
-Usually unnecessary: one Gateway can serve multiple messaging channels and agents. Use multiple Gateways only for redundancy or strict isolation (ex: rescue bot).
-
-Supported if you isolate state + config and use unique ports. Full guide: [Multiple gateways](/gateway/multiple-gateways).
+  <Step title="Verify service health">
 
-Service names are profile-aware:
-
-- macOS: `bot.molt.<profile>` (legacy `com.openclaw.*` may still exist)
-- Linux: `openclaw-gateway-<profile>.service`
-- Windows: `OpenClaw Gateway (<profile>)`
-
-Install metadata is embedded in the service config:
-
-- `OPENCLAW_SERVICE_MARKER=openclaw`
-- `OPENCLAW_SERVICE_KIND=gateway`
-- `OPENCLAW_SERVICE_VERSION=<version>`
+```bash
+openclaw gateway status
+openclaw status
+openclaw logs --follow
+```
 
-Rescue-Bot Pattern: keep a second Gateway isolated with its own profile, state dir, workspace, and base port spacing. Full guide: [Rescue-bot guide](/gateway/multiple-gateways#rescue-bot-guide).
+Healthy baseline: `Runtime: running` and `RPC probe: ok`.
 
-### Dev profile (`--dev`)
+  </Step>
 
-Fast path: run a fully-isolated dev instance (config/state/workspace) without touching your primary setup.
+  <Step title="Validate channel readiness">

-openclaw --dev gateway --allow-unconfigured
-# then target the dev instance:

-- `OPENCLAW_CONFIG_PATH=~/.openclaw-dev/openclaw.json`
-- `OPENCLAW_GATEWAY_PORT=19001` (Gateway WS + HTTP)
-- browser control service port = `19003` (derived: `gateway.port+2`, loopback only)
-- `canvasHost.port=19005` (derived: `gateway.port+4`)
-- `agents.defaults.workspace` default becomes `~/.openclaw/workspace-dev` when you run `setup`/`onboard` under `--dev`.
+<Note>
+Gateway config reload watches the active config file path (resolved from profile/state defaults, or `OPENCLAW_CONFIG_PATH` when set).
+Default mode is `gateway.reload.mode="hybrid"`.
+</Note>
 
-Derived ports (rules of thumb):
+## Runtime model
 
-- Base port = `gateway.port` (or `OPENCLAW_GATEWAY_PORT` / `--port`)
-- browser control service port = base + 2 (loopback only)
-- `canvasHost.port = base + 4` (or `OPENCLAW_CANVAS_HOST_PORT` / config override)
-- Browser profile CDP ports auto-allocate from `browser.controlPort + 9 .. + 108` (persisted per profile).
+- One always-on process for routing, control plane, and channel connections.
+- Single multiplexed port for:
+  - WebSocket control/RPC
+  - HTTP APIs (OpenAI-compatible, Responses, tools invoke)
+  - Control UI and hooks
+- Default bind mode: `loopback`.
+- Auth is required by default (`gateway.auth.token` / `gateway.auth.password`, or `OPENCLAW_GATEWAY_TOKEN` / `OPENCLAW_GATEWAY_PASSWORD`).

-## Protocol (operator view)
+Then connect clients to `ws://127.0.0.1:18789` locally.
 
-- Full docs: [Gateway protocol](/gateway/protocol) and [Bridge protocol (legacy)](/gateway/bridge-protocol).
-- Mandatory first frame from client: `req {type:"req", id, method:"connect", params:{minProtocol,maxProtocol,client:{id,displayName?,version,platform,deviceFamily?,modelIdentifier?,mode,instanceId?}, caps, auth?, locale?, userAgent? } }`.
-- Gateway replies `res {type:"res", id, ok:true, payload:hello-ok }` (or `ok:false` with an error, then closes).
-- After handshake:
-  - Requests: `{type:"req", id, method, params}` → `{type:"res", id, ok, payload|error}`
-  - Events: `{type:"event", event, payload, seq?, stateVersion?}`
-- Structured presence entries: `{host, ip, version, platform?, deviceFamily?, modelIdentifier?, mode, lastInputSeconds?, ts, reason?, tags?[], instanceId? }` (for WS clients, `instanceId` comes from `connect.client.instanceId`).
-- `agent` responses are two-stage: first `res` ack `{runId,status:"accepted"}`, then a final `res` `{runId,status:"ok"|"error",summary}` after the run finishes; streamed output arrives as `event:"agent"`.
+<Warning>
+If gateway auth is configured, clients still must send auth (`token`/`password`) even over SSH tunnels.
+</Warning>
 
-## Methods (initial set)
+See: [Remote Gateway](/gateway/remote), [Authentication](/gateway/authentication), [Tailscale](/gateway/tailscale).
 
-- `health` — full health snapshot (same shape as `openclaw health --json`).
-- `status` — short summary.
-- `system-presence` — current presence list.
-- `system-event` — post a presence/system note (structured).
-- `send` — send a message via the active channel(s).
-- `agent` — run an agent turn (streams events back on same connection).
-- `node.list` — list paired + currently-connected nodes (includes `caps`, `deviceFamily`, `modelIdentifier`, `paired`, `connected`, and advertised `commands`).
-- `node.describe` — describe a node (capabilities + supported `node.invoke` commands; works for paired nodes and for currently-connected unpaired nodes).
-- `node.invoke` — invoke a command on a node (e.g. `canvas.*`, `camera.*`).
-- `node.pair.*` — pairing lifecycle (`request`, `list`, `approve`, `reject`, `verify`).
+## Supervision and service lifecycle
 
-See also: [Presence](/concepts/presence) for how presence is produced/deduped and why a stable `client.instanceId` matters.
+Use supervised runs for production-like reliability.
 
-## Events
+<Tabs>
+  <Tab title="macOS (launchd)">
 
-- `agent` — streamed tool/output events from the agent run (seq-tagged).
-- `presence` — presence updates (deltas with stateVersion) pushed to all connected clients.
-- `tick` — periodic keepalive/no-op to confirm liveness.
-- `shutdown` — Gateway is exiting; payload includes `reason` and optional `restartExpectedMs`. Clients should reconnect.
+```bash
+openclaw gateway install
+openclaw gateway status
+openclaw gateway restart
+openclaw gateway stop
+```
 
-## WebChat integration
+LaunchAgent labels are `ai.openclaw.gateway` (default) or `ai.openclaw.<profile>` (named profile). `openclaw doctor` audits and repairs service config drift.
 
-- WebChat is a native SwiftUI UI that talks directly to the Gateway WebSocket for history, sends, abort, and events.
-- Remote use goes through the same SSH/Tailscale tunnel; if a gateway token is configured, the client includes it during `connect`.
-- macOS app connects via a single WS (shared connection); it hydrates presence from the initial snapshot and listens for `presence` events to update the UI.
+  </Tab>
 
-## Typing and validation
+  <Tab title="Linux (systemd user)">
 
-- Server validates every inbound frame with AJV against JSON Schema emitted from the protocol definitions.
-- Clients (TS/Swift) consume generated types (TS directly; Swift via the repo’s generator).
-- Protocol definitions are the source of truth; regenerate schema/models with:
-  - `pnpm protocol:gen`
-  - `pnpm protocol:gen:swift`
+```bash
+openclaw gateway install
+systemctl --user enable --now openclaw-gateway[-<profile>].service
+openclaw gateway status
+```
 
-## Connection snapshot
+For persistence after logout, enable lingering:
 
-- `hello-ok` includes a `snapshot` with `presence`, `health`, `stateVersion`, and `uptimeMs` plus `policy {maxPayload,maxBufferedBytes,tickIntervalMs}` so clients can render immediately without extra requests.
-- `health`/`system-presence` remain available for manual refresh, but are not required at connect time.
+```bash
+sudo loginctl enable-linger <user>
+```
 
-## Error codes (res.error shape)
+  </Tab>
 
-- Errors use `{ code, message, details?, retryable?, retryAfterMs? }`.
-- Standard codes:
-  - `NOT_LINKED` — WhatsApp not authenticated.
-  - `AGENT_TIMEOUT` — agent did not respond within the configured deadline.
-  - `INVALID_REQUEST` — schema/param validation failed.
-  - `UNAVAILABLE` — Gateway is shutting down or a dependency is unavailable.
+  <Tab title="Linux (system service)">
 
-## Keepalive behavior
+Use a system unit for multi-user/always-on hosts.
 
-- `tick` events (or WS ping/pong) are emitted periodically so clients know the Gateway is alive even when no traffic occurs.
-- Send/agent acknowledgements remain separate responses; do not overload ticks for sends.
+```bash
+sudo systemctl daemon-reload
+sudo systemctl enable --now openclaw-gateway[-<profile>].service
+```
 
-## Replay / gaps
+  </Tab>
+</Tabs>
 
-- Events are not replayed. Clients detect seq gaps and should refresh (`health` + `system-presence`) before continuing. WebChat and macOS clients now auto-refresh on gap.
+## Multiple gateways on one host
 
-## Supervision (macOS example)
+Most setups should run **one** Gateway.
+Use multiple only for strict isolation/redundancy (for example a rescue profile).
 
-- Use launchd to keep the service alive:
-  - Program: path to `openclaw`
-  - Arguments: `gateway`
-  - KeepAlive: true
-  - StandardOut/Err: file paths or `syslog`
-- On failure, launchd restarts; fatal misconfig should keep exiting so the operator notices.
-- LaunchAgents are per-user and require a logged-in session; for headless setups use a custom LaunchDaemon (not shipped).
-  - `openclaw gateway install` writes `~/Library/LaunchAgents/bot.molt.gateway.plist`
-    (or `bot.molt.<profile>.plist`; legacy `com.openclaw.*` is cleaned up).
-  - `openclaw doctor` audits the LaunchAgent config and can update it to current defaults.
+Checklist per instance:
 
-## Gateway service management (CLI)
+- Unique `gateway.port`
+- Unique `OPENCLAW_CONFIG_PATH`
+- Unique `OPENCLAW_STATE_DIR`
+- Unique `agents.defaults.workspace`
 
-Use the Gateway CLI for install/start/stop/restart/status:
+Example:
 
 ```bash
-openclaw gateway status
-openclaw gateway install
-openclaw gateway stop
-openclaw gateway restart
-openclaw logs --follow
+OPENCLAW_CONFIG_PATH=~/.openclaw/a.json OPENCLAW_STATE_DIR=~/.openclaw-a openclaw gateway --port 19001
+OPENCLAW_CONFIG_PATH=~/.openclaw/b.json OPENCLAW_STATE_DIR=~/.openclaw-b openclaw gateway --port 19002
 ```
 
-Notes:
+See: [Multiple gateways](/gateway/multiple-gateways).
 
-- `gateway status` probes the Gateway RPC by default using the service’s resolved port/config (override with `--url`).
-- `gateway status --deep` adds system-level scans (LaunchDaemons/system units).
-- `gateway status --no-probe` skips the RPC probe (useful when networking is down).
-- `gateway status --json` is stable for scripts.
-- `gateway status` reports **supervisor runtime** (launchd/systemd running) separately from **RPC reachability** (WS connect + status RPC).
-- `gateway status` prints config path + probe target to avoid “localhost vs LAN bind” confusion and profile mismatches.
-- `gateway status` includes the last gateway error line when the service looks running but the port is closed.
-- `logs` tails the Gateway file log via RPC (no manual `tail`/`grep` needed).
-- If other gateway-like services are detected, the CLI warns unless they are OpenClaw profile services.
-  We still recommend **one gateway per machine** for most setups; use isolated profiles/ports for redundancy or a rescue bot. See [Multiple gateways](/gateway/multiple-gateways).
-  - Cleanup: `openclaw gateway uninstall` (current service) and `openclaw doctor` (legacy migrations).
-- `gateway install` is a no-op when already installed; use `openclaw gateway install --force` to reinstall (profile/env/path changes).
+### Dev profile quick path
 
-Bundled mac app:
-
-- OpenClaw.app can bundle a Node-based gateway relay and install a per-user LaunchAgent labeled
-  `bot.molt.gateway` (or `bot.molt.<profile>`; legacy `com.openclaw.*` labels still unload cleanly).
-- To stop it cleanly, use `openclaw gateway stop` (or `launchctl bootout gui/$UID/bot.molt.gateway`).
-- To restart, use `openclaw gateway restart` (or `launchctl kickstart -k gui/$UID/bot.molt.gateway`).
-  - `launchctl` only works if the LaunchAgent is installed; otherwise use `openclaw gateway install` first.
-  - Replace the label with `bot.molt.<profile>` when running a named profile.
+```bash
+openclaw --dev setup
+openclaw --dev gateway --allow-unconfigured
+openclaw --dev status
+```
 
-## Supervision (systemd user unit)
+Defaults include isolated state/config and base gateway port `19001`.
 
-OpenClaw installs a **systemd user service** by default on Linux/WSL2. We
-recommend user services for single-user machines (simpler env, per-user config).
-Use a **system service** for multi-user or always-on servers (no lingering
-required, shared supervision).
+## Protocol quick reference (operator view)
 
-`openclaw gateway install` writes the user unit. `openclaw doctor` audits the
-unit and can update it to match the current recommended defaults.
+- First client frame must be `connect`.
+- Gateway returns `hello-ok` snapshot (`presence`, `health`, `stateVersion`, `uptimeMs`, limits/policy).
+- Requests: `req(method, params)` → `res(ok/payload|error)`.
+- Common events: `connect.challenge`, `agent`, `chat`, `presence`, `tick`, `health`, `heartbeat`, `shutdown`.
 
-Create `~/.config/systemd/user/openclaw-gateway[-<profile>].service`:
+Agent runs are two-stage:
 
-```
-[Unit]
-Description=OpenClaw Gateway (profile: <profile>, v<version>)
-After=network-online.target
-Wants=network-online.target
-
-[Service]
-ExecStart=/usr/local/bin/openclaw gateway --port 18789
-Restart=always
-RestartSec=5
-Environment=OPENCLAW_GATEWAY_TOKEN=
-WorkingDirectory=/home/youruser
-
-[Install]
-WantedBy=default.target
-```
+1. Immediate accepted ack (`status:"accepted"`)
+2. Final completion response (`status:"ok"|"error"`), with streamed `agent` events in between.
 
-Enable lingering (required so the user service survives logout/idle):
+See full protocol docs: [Gateway Protocol](/gateway/protocol).
 
-```
-sudo loginctl enable-linger youruser
-```
+## Operational checks
 
-Onboarding runs this on Linux/WSL2 (may prompt for sudo; writes `/var/lib/systemd/linger`).
-Then enable the service:
+### Liveness
 
-```
-systemctl --user enable --now openclaw-gateway[-<profile>].service
-```
+- Open WS and send `connect`.
+- Expect `hello-ok` response with snapshot.
 
-**Alternative (system service)** - for always-on or multi-user servers, you can
-install a systemd **system** unit instead of a user unit (no lingering needed).
-Create `/etc/systemd/system/openclaw-gateway[-<profile>].service` (copy the unit above,
-switch `WantedBy=multi-user.target`, set `User=` + `WorkingDirectory=`), then:
+### Readiness
 
-```
-sudo systemctl daemon-reload
-sudo systemctl enable --now openclaw-gateway[-<profile>].service
+```bash
+openclaw gateway status
+openclaw channels status --probe
+openclaw health
 ```
 
-## Windows (WSL2)
+### Gap recovery
 
-Windows installs should use **WSL2** and follow the Linux systemd section above.
+Events are not replayed. On sequence gaps, refresh state (`health`, `system-presence`) before continuing.
 
-## Operational checks
+## Common failure signatures
 
-- Liveness: open WS and send `req:connect` → expect `res` with `payload.type="hello-ok"` (with snapshot).
-- Readiness: call `health` → expect `ok: true` and a linked channel in `linkChannel` (when applicable).
-- Debug: subscribe to `tick` and `presence` events; ensure `status` shows linked/auth age; presence entries show Gateway host and connected clients.
+| Signature                                                      | Likely issue                             |
+| -------------------------------------------------------------- | ---------------------------------------- |
+| `refusing to bind gateway ... without auth`                    | Non-loopback bind without token/password |
+| `another gateway instance is already listening` / `EADDRINUSE` | Port conflict                            |
+| `Gateway start blocked: set gateway.mode=local`                | Config set to remote mode                |
+| `unauthorized` during connect                                  | Auth mismatch between client and gateway |
 
-## Safety guarantees
+For full diagnosis ladders, use [Gateway Troubleshooting](/gateway/troubleshooting).

-# Formal Verification (Security Models)
-
-This page tracks OpenClaw’s **formal security models** (TLA+/TLC today; more as needed).
-
-> Note: some older links may refer to the previous project name.
-
-**Goal (north star):** provide a machine-checked argument that OpenClaw enforces its
-intended security policy (authorization, session isolation, tool gating, and
-misconfiguration safety), under explicit assumptions.
-
-**What this is (today):** an executable, attacker-driven **security regression suite**:
-
-- Each claim has a runnable model-check over a finite state space.
-- Many claims have a paired **negative model** that produces a counterexample trace for a realistic bug class.
-
-**What this is not (yet):** a proof that “OpenClaw is secure in all respects” or that the full TypeScript implementation is correct.
-
-## Where the models live
-
-Models are maintained in a separate repo: [vignesh07/openclaw-formal-models](https://github.com/vignesh07/openclaw-formal-models).
-
-## Important caveats
-
-- These are **models**, not the full TypeScript implementation. Drift between model and code is possible.
-- Results are bounded by the state space explored by TLC; “green” does not imply security beyond the modeled assumptions and bounds.
-- Some claims rely on explicit environmental assumptions (e.g., correct deployment, correct configuration inputs).
-
-## Reproducing results
-
-Today, results are reproduced by cloning the models repo locally and running TLC (see below). A future iteration could offer:
-
-- CI-run models with public artifacts (counterexample traces, run logs)
-- a hosted “run this model” workflow for small, bounded checks
-
-Getting started:
-
-```bash
-git clone https://github.com/vignesh07/openclaw-formal-models
-cd openclaw-formal-models
-
-# Java 11+ required (TLC runs on the JVM).
-# The repo vendors a pinned `tla2tools.jar` (TLA+ tools) and provides `bin/tlc` + Make targets.
-
-make <target>
-```
-
-### Gateway exposure and open gateway misconfiguration
-
-**Claim:** binding beyond loopback without auth can make remote compromise possible / increases exposure; token/password blocks unauth attackers (per the model assumptions).
-
-- Green runs:
-  - `make gateway-exposure-v2`
-  - `make gateway-exposure-v2-protected`
-- Red (expected):
-  - `make gateway-exposure-v2-negative`
-
-See also: `docs/gateway-exposure-matrix.md` in the models repo.
-
-### Nodes.run pipeline (highest-risk capability)
-
-**Claim:** `nodes.run` requires (a) node command allowlist plus declared commands and (b) live approval when configured; approvals are tokenized to prevent replay (in the model).
-
-- Green runs:
-  - `make nodes-pipeline`
-  - `make approvals-token`
-- Red (expected):
-  - `make nodes-pipeline-negative`
-  - `make approvals-token-negative`
-
-### Pairing store (DM gating)
-
-**Claim:** pairing requests respect TTL and pending-request caps.
-
-- Green runs:
-  - `make pairing`
-  - `make pairing-cap`
-- Red (expected):
-  - `make pairing-negative`
-  - `make pairing-cap-negative`
-
-### Ingress gating (mentions + control-command bypass)
-
-**Claim:** in group contexts requiring mention, an unauthorized “control command” cannot bypass mention gating.
-
-- Green:
-  - `make ingress-gating`
-- Red (expected):
-  - `make ingress-gating-negative`
-
-### Routing/session-key isolation
-
-**Claim:** DMs from distinct peers do not collapse into the same session unless explicitly linked/configured.
-
-- Green:
-  - `make routing-isolation`
-- Red (expected):
-  - `make routing-isolation-negative`
-
-## v1++: additional bounded models (concurrency, retries, trace correctness)
-
-These are follow-on models that tighten fidelity around real-world failure modes (non-atomic updates, retries, and message fan-out).
-
-### Pairing store concurrency / idempotency
-
-**Claim:** a pairing store should enforce `MaxPending` and idempotency even under interleavings (i.e., “check-then-write” must be atomic / locked; refresh shouldn’t create duplicates).
-
-What it means:
-
-- Under concurrent requests, you can’t exceed `MaxPending` for a channel.
-- Repeated requests/refreshes for the same `(channel, sender)` should not create duplicate live pending rows.
-
-- Green runs:
-  - `make pairing-race` (atomic/locked cap check)
-  - `make pairing-idempotency`
-  - `make pairing-refresh`
-  - `make pairing-refresh-race`
-- Red (expected):
-  - `make pairing-race-negative` (non-atomic begin/commit cap race)
-  - `make pairing-idempotency-negative`
-  - `make pairing-refresh-negative`
-  - `make pairing-refresh-race-negative`
-
-### Ingress trace correlation / idempotency
-
-**Claim:** ingestion should preserve trace correlation across fan-out and be idempotent under provider retries.
-
-What it means:
-
-- When one external event becomes multiple internal messages, every part keeps the same trace/event identity.
-- Retries do not result in double-processing.
-- If provider event IDs are missing, dedupe falls back to a safe key (e.g., trace ID) to avoid dropping distinct events.
-
-- Green:
-  - `make ingress-trace`
-  - `make ingress-trace2`
-  - `make ingress-idempotency`
-  - `make ingress-dedupe-fallback`
-- Red (expected):
-  - `make ingress-trace-negative`
-  - `make ingress-trace2-negative`
-  - `make ingress-idempotency-negative`
-  - `make ingress-dedupe-fallback-negative`
-
-### Routing dmScope precedence + identityLinks
-
-**Claim:** routing must keep DM sessions isolated by default, and only collapse sessions when explicitly configured (channel precedence + identity links).
-
-What it means:
-
-- Channel-specific dmScope overrides must win over global defaults.
-- identityLinks should collapse only within explicit linked groups, not across unrelated peers.
-
-- Green:
-  - `make routing-precedence`
-  - `make routing-identitylinks`
-- Red (expected):
-  - `make routing-precedence-negative`
-  - `make routing-identitylinks-negative`

-## Common Issues
-
-### No API key found for provider "anthropic"
-
-This means the **agent’s auth store is empty** or missing Anthropic credentials.
-Auth is **per agent**, so a new agent won’t inherit the main agent’s keys.
-
-Fix options:
-
-- Re-run onboarding and choose **Anthropic** for that agent.
-- Or paste a setup-token on the **gateway host**:
-  ```bash
-  openclaw models auth setup-token --provider anthropic
-  ```
-- Or copy `auth-profiles.json` from the main agent dir to the new agent dir.
-
-Verify:
+Run these first, in this order:
 
 ```bash
-openclaw models status
+openclaw status
+openclaw gateway status
+openclaw logs --follow
+openclaw doctor
+openclaw channels status --probe
 ```
 
-### OAuth token refresh failed (Anthropic Claude subscription)
-
-This means the stored Anthropic OAuth token expired and the refresh failed.
-If you’re on a Claude subscription (no API key), the most reliable fix is to
-switch to a **Claude Code setup-token** and paste it on the **gateway host**.
+Expected healthy signals:
 
-**Recommended (setup-token):**
+- `openclaw gateway status` shows `Runtime: running` and `RPC probe: ok`.
+- `openclaw doctor` reports no blocking config/service issues.
+- `openclaw channels status --probe` shows connected/ready channels.
 
-```bash
-# Run on the gateway host (paste the setup-token)
-openclaw models auth setup-token --provider anthropic
-openclaw models status
-```
+## No replies
 
-If you generated the token elsewhere:
+If channels are up but nothing answers, check routing and policy before reconnecting anything.
 
 ```bash
-openclaw models auth paste-token --provider anthropic
-openclaw models status
+openclaw status
+openclaw channels status --probe
+openclaw pairing list <channel>
+openclaw config get channels
+openclaw logs --follow
 ```
 
-More detail: [Anthropic](/providers/anthropic) and [OAuth](/concepts/oauth).
+Look for:
 
-### Control UI fails on HTTP ("device identity required" / "connect failed")
+- Pairing pending for DM senders.
+- Group mention gating (`requireMention`, `mentionPatterns`).
+- Channel/group allowlist mismatches.
 
-If you open the dashboard over plain HTTP (e.g. `http://<lan-ip>:18789/` or
-`http://<tailscale-ip>:18789/`), the browser runs in a **non-secure context** and
-blocks WebCrypto, so device identity can’t be generated.
+Common signatures:
 
-**Fix:**
+- `drop guild message (mention required` → group message ignored until mention.
+- `pairing request` → sender needs approval.
+- `blocked` / `allowlist` → sender/channel was filtered by policy.
 
-- Prefer HTTPS via [Tailscale Serve](/gateway/tailscale).
-- Or open locally on the gateway host: `http://127.0.0.1:18789/`.
-- If you must stay on HTTP, enable `gateway.controlUi.allowInsecureAuth: true` and
-  use a gateway token (token-only; no device identity/pairing). See

+## Dashboard control ui connectivity
 
-### Service Installed but Nothing is Running
-
-If the gateway service is installed but the process exits immediately, the service
-can appear “loaded” while nothing is running.
-
-**Check:**
+When dashboard/control UI will not connect, validate URL, auth mode, and secure context assumptions.
 
 ```bash
 openclaw gateway status
+openclaw status
+openclaw logs --follow
 openclaw doctor
+openclaw gateway status --json
 ```
 
-Doctor/service will show runtime state (PID/last exit) and log hints.
-
-**Logs:**
-
-- Preferred: `openclaw logs --follow`
-- File logs (always): `/tmp/openclaw/openclaw-YYYY-MM-DD.log` (or your configured `logging.file`)
-- macOS LaunchAgent (if installed): `$OPENCLAW_STATE_DIR/logs/gateway.log` and `gateway.err.log`
-- Linux systemd (if installed): `journalctl --user -u openclaw-gateway[-<profile>].service -n 200 --no-pager`
-- Windows: `schtasks /Query /TN "OpenClaw Gateway (<profile>)" /V /FO LIST`
-
-**Enable more logging:**
-
-- Bump file log detail (persisted JSONL):
-  ```json
-  { "logging": { "level": "debug" } }
-  ```
-- Bump console verbosity (TTY output only):
-  ```json
-  { "logging": { "consoleLevel": "debug", "consoleStyle": "pretty" } }
-  ```
-- Quick tip: `--verbose` affects **console** output only. File logs remain controlled by `logging.level`.
-
-See [/logging](/logging) for a full overview of formats, config, and access.
-
-### "Gateway start blocked: set gateway.mode=local"
-
-This means the config exists but `gateway.mode` is unset (or not `local`), so the
-Gateway refuses to start.
-
-**Fix (recommended):**
-
-- Run the wizard and set the Gateway run mode to **Local**:
-  ```bash
-  openclaw configure
-  ```
-- Or set it directly:
-  ```bash
-  openclaw config set gateway.mode local
-  ```
-
-**If you meant to run a remote Gateway instead:**
-
-- Set a remote URL and keep `gateway.mode=remote`:
-  ```bash
-  openclaw config set gateway.mode remote
-  openclaw config set gateway.remote.url "wss://gateway.example.com"
-  ```
-
-**Ad-hoc/dev only:** pass `--allow-unconfigured` to start the gateway without
-`gateway.mode=local`.
-
-**No config file yet?** Run `openclaw setup` to create a starter config, then rerun
-the gateway.
-
-### Service Environment (PATH + runtime)
-
-The gateway service runs with a **minimal PATH** to avoid shell/manager cruft:
-
-- macOS: `/opt/homebrew/bin`, `/usr/local/bin`, `/usr/bin`, `/bin`
-- Linux: `/usr/local/bin`, `/usr/bin`, `/bin`
-
-This intentionally excludes version managers (nvm/fnm/volta/asdf) and package
-managers (pnpm/npm) because the service does not load your shell init. Runtime
-variables like `DISPLAY` should live in `~/.openclaw/.env` (loaded early by the
-gateway).
-Exec runs on `host=gateway` merge your login-shell `PATH` into the exec environment,
-so missing tools usually mean your shell init isn’t exporting them (or set
-`tools.exec.pathPrepend`). See [/tools/exec](/tools/exec).
-
-WhatsApp + Telegram channels require **Node**; Bun is unsupported. If your
-service was installed with Bun or a version-managed Node path, run `openclaw doctor`
-to migrate to a system Node install.
-
-### Skill missing API key in sandbox
-
-**Symptom:** Skill works on host but fails in sandbox with missing API key.
-
-**Why:** sandboxed exec runs inside Docker and does **not** inherit host `process.env`.
-
-**Fix:**
-
-- set `agents.defaults.sandbox.docker.env` (or per-agent `agents.list[].sandbox.docker.env`)
-- or bake the key into your custom sandbox image
-- then run `openclaw sandbox recreate --agent <id>` (or `--all`)
-
-### Service Running but Port Not Listening
-
-If the service reports **running** but nothing is listening on the gateway port,
-the Gateway likely refused to bind.
-
-**What "running" means here**
-
-- `Runtime: running` means your supervisor (launchd/systemd/schtasks) thinks the process is alive.
-- `RPC probe` means the CLI could actually connect to the gateway WebSocket and call `status`.
-- Always trust `Probe target:` + `Config (service):` as the “what did we actually try?” lines.
-
-**Check:**
+Look for:
 
-- `gateway.mode` must be `local` for `openclaw gateway` and the service.
-- If you set `gateway.mode=remote`, the **CLI defaults** to a remote URL. The service can still be running locally, but your CLI may be probing the wrong place. Use `openclaw gateway status` to see the service’s resolved port + probe target (or pass `--url`).
-- `openclaw gateway status` and `openclaw doctor` surface the **last gateway error** from logs when the service looks running but the port is closed.
-- Non-loopback binds (`lan`/`tailnet`/`custom`, or `auto` when loopback is unavailable) require auth:
-  `gateway.auth.token` (or `OPENCLAW_GATEWAY_TOKEN`).
-- `gateway.remote.token` is for remote CLI calls only; it does **not** enable local auth.
-- `gateway.token` is ignored; use `gateway.auth.token`.
+- Correct probe URL and dashboard URL.
+- Auth mode/token mismatch between client and gateway.
+- HTTP usage where device identity is required.
 
-**If `openclaw gateway status` shows a config mismatch**
+Common signatures:
 
-- `Config (cli): ...` and `Config (service): ...` should normally match.
-- If they don’t, you’re almost certainly editing one config while the service is running another.
-- Fix: rerun `openclaw gateway install --force` from the same `--profile` / `OPENCLAW_STATE_DIR` you want the service to use.
+- `device identity required` → non-secure context or missing device auth.
+- `unauthorized` / reconnect loop → token/password mismatch.
+- `gateway connect failed:` → wrong host/port/url target.
 
-**If `openclaw gateway status` reports service config issues**
+Related:
 
-- The supervisor config (launchd/systemd/schtasks) is missing current defaults.
-- Fix: run `openclaw doctor` to update it (or `openclaw gateway install --force` for a full rewrite).
+- [/web/control-ui](/web/control-ui)
+- [/gateway/authentication](/gateway/authentication)
+- [/gateway/remote](/gateway/remote)
 
-**If `Last gateway error:` mentions “refusing to bind … without auth”**
+## Gateway service not running
 
-- You set `gateway.bind` to a non-loopback mode (`lan`/`tailnet`/`custom`, or `auto` when loopback is unavailable) but didn’t configure auth.
-- Fix: set `gateway.auth.mode` + `gateway.auth.token` (or export `OPENCLAW_GATEWAY_TOKEN`) and restart the service.
-
-**If `openclaw gateway status` says `bind=tailnet` but no tailnet interface was found**
-
-- The gateway tried to bind to a Tailscale IP (100.64.0.0/10) but none were detected on the host.
-- Fix: bring up Tailscale on that machine (or change `gateway.bind` to `loopback`/`lan`).
-
-**If `Probe note:` says the probe uses loopback**
-
-- That’s expected for `bind=lan`: the gateway listens on `0.0.0.0` (all interfaces), and loopback should still connect locally.
-- For remote clients, use a real LAN IP (not `0.0.0.0`) plus the port, and ensure auth is configured.
-
-### Address Already in Use (Port 18789)
-
-This means something is already listening on the gateway port.
-
-**Check:**
+Use this when service is installed but process does not stay up.
 
 ```bash
 openclaw gateway status
-```
-
-It will show the listener(s) and likely causes (gateway already running, SSH tunnel).
-If needed, stop the service or pick a different port.
-
-### Extra Workspace Folders Detected
-
-If you upgraded from older installs, you might still have `~/openclaw` on disk.
-Multiple workspace directories can cause confusing auth or state drift because
-only one workspace is active.
-
-**Fix:** keep a single active workspace and archive/remove the rest. See
-[Agent workspace](/concepts/agent-workspace#extra-workspace-folders).
-
-### Main chat running in a sandbox workspace
-
-Symptoms: `pwd` or file tools show `~/.openclaw/sandboxes/...` even though you
-expected the host workspace.
-
-**Why:** `agents.defaults.sandbox.mode: "non-main"` keys off `session.mainKey` (default `"main"`).
-Group/channel sessions use their own keys, so they are treated as non-main and
-get sandbox workspaces.
-
-**Fix options:**
-
-- If you want host workspaces for an agent: set `agents.list[].sandbox.mode: "off"`.
-- If you want host workspace access inside sandbox: set `workspaceAccess: "rw"` for that agent.
-
-### "Agent was aborted"
-
-The agent was interrupted mid-response.
-
-**Causes:**
-
-- User sent `stop`, `abort`, `esc`, `wait`, or `exit`
-- Timeout exceeded
-- Process crashed
-
-**Fix:** Just send another message. The session continues.
-
-### "Agent failed before reply: Unknown model: anthropic/claude-haiku-3-5"
-
-OpenClaw intentionally rejects **older/insecure models** (especially those more
-vulnerable to prompt injection). If you see this error, the model name is no
-longer supported.
-
-**Fix:**
-
-- Pick a **latest** model for the provider and update your config or model alias.
-- If you’re unsure which models are available, run `openclaw models list` or
-  `openclaw models scan` and choose a supported one.
-- Check gateway logs for the detailed failure reason.
-
-See also: [Models CLI](/cli/models) and [Model providers](/concepts/model-providers).
-
-### Messages Not Triggering
-
-**Check 1:** Is the sender allowlisted?
-
-```bash
 openclaw status
-```
-
-Look for `AllowFrom: ...` in the output.
-
-**Check 2:** For group chats, is mention required?
-
-```bash
-# The message must match mentionPatterns or explicit mentions; defaults live in channel groups/guilds.
-# Multi-agent: `agents.list[].groupChat.mentionPatterns` overrides global patterns.
-grep -n "agents\\|groupChat\\|mentionPatterns\\|channels\\.whatsapp\\.groups\\|channels\\.telegram\\.groups\\|channels\\.imessage\\.groups\\|channels\\.discord\\.guilds" \
-  "${OPENCLAW_CONFIG_PATH:-$HOME/.openclaw/openclaw.json}"
-```
-
-**Check 3:** Check the logs
-
-```bash
 openclaw logs --follow
-# or if you want quick filters:
-tail -f "$(ls -t /tmp/openclaw/openclaw-*.log | head -1)" | grep "blocked\\|skip\\|unauthorized"
-```
-
-### Pairing Code Not Arriving
-
-If `dmPolicy` is `pairing`, unknown senders should receive a code and their message is ignored until approved.
-
-**Check 1:** Is a pending request already waiting?
-
-```bash
-openclaw pairing list <channel>
-```
-
-Pending DM pairing requests are capped at **3 per channel** by default. If the list is full, new requests won’t generate a code until one is approved or expires.
-
-**Check 2:** Did the request get created but no reply was sent?
-
-```bash
-openclaw logs --follow | grep "pairing request"
+openclaw doctor
+openclaw gateway status --deep
 ```
 
-**Check 3:** Confirm `dmPolicy` isn’t `open`/`allowlist` for that channel.
-
-### Image + Mention Not Working
-
-Known issue: When you send an image with ONLY a mention (no other text), WhatsApp sometimes doesn't include the mention metadata.
-
-**Workaround:** Add some text with the mention:
-
-- ❌ `@openclaw` + image
-- ✅ `@openclaw check this` + image
-
-### Session Not Resuming
+Look for:
 
-**Check 1:** Is the session file there?
+- `Runtime: stopped` with exit hints.
+- Service config mismatch (`Config (cli)` vs `Config (service)`).
+- Port/listener conflicts.
 
-```bash
-ls -la ~/.openclaw/agents/<agentId>/sessions/
-```
+Common signatures:
 
-**Check 2:** Is the reset window too short?
-
-```json
-{
-  "session": {
-    "reset": {
-      "mode": "daily",
-      "atHour": 4,
-      "idleMinutes": 10080 // 7 days
-    }
-  }
-}
-```
+- `Gateway start blocked: set gateway.mode=local` → local gateway mode is not enabled. Fix: set `gateway.mode="local"` in your config (or run `openclaw configure`). If you are running OpenClaw via Podman using the dedicated `openclaw` user, the config lives at `~openclaw/.openclaw/openclaw.json`.
+- `refusing to bind gateway ... without auth` → non-loopback bind without token/password.
+- `another gateway instance is already listening` / `EADDRINUSE` → port conflict.
 
-**Check 3:** Did someone send `/new`, `/reset`, or a reset trigger?

-### Agent Timing Out
+- [/gateway/background-process](/gateway/background-process)
+- [/gateway/configuration](/gateway/configuration)
+- [/gateway/doctor](/gateway/doctor)
 
-Default timeout is 30 minutes. For long tasks:
+## Channel connected messages not flowing
 
-```json
-{
-  "reply": {
-    "timeoutSeconds": 3600 // 1 hour
-  }
-}
-```
-
-Or use the `process` tool to background long commands.
-
-### WhatsApp Disconnected
+If channel state is connected but message flow is dead, focus on policy, permissions, and channel specific delivery rules.
 
 ```bash
-# Check local status (creds, sessions, queued events)
-openclaw status
-# Probe the running gateway + channels (WA connect + Telegram + Discord APIs)
+openclaw channels status --probe
+openclaw pairing list <channel>
 openclaw status --deep
-
-# View recent connection events
-openclaw logs --limit 200 | grep "connection\\|disconnect\\|logout"
+openclaw logs --follow
+openclaw config get channels
 ```
 
-**Fix:** Usually reconnects automatically once the Gateway is running. If you’re stuck, restart the Gateway process (however you supervise it), or run it manually with verbose output:
+Look for:
 
-```bash
-openclaw gateway --verbose
-```
+- DM policy (`pairing`, `allowlist`, `open`, `disabled`).
+- Group allowlist and mention requirements.
+- Missing channel API permissions/scopes.
 
-If you’re logged out / unlinked:
+Common signatures:
 
-```bash
-openclaw channels logout
-trash "${OPENCLAW_STATE_DIR:-$HOME/.openclaw}/credentials" # if logout can't cleanly remove everything
-openclaw channels login --verbose       # re-scan QR
-```
+- `mention required` → message ignored by group mention policy.
+- `pairing` / pending approval traces → sender is not approved.
+- `missing_scope`, `not_in_channel`, `Forbidden`, `401/403` → channel auth/permissions issue.
 
-### Media Send Failing

-**Check 1:** Is the file path valid?
+- [/channels/troubleshooting](/channels/troubleshooting)
+- [/channels/whatsapp](/channels/whatsapp)
+- [/channels/telegram](/channels/telegram)
+- [/channels/discord](/channels/discord)
 
-```bash
-ls -la /path/to/your/image.jpg
-```
-
-**Check 2:** Is it too large?
+## Cron and heartbeat delivery
 
-- Images: max 6MB
-- Audio/Video: max 16MB
-- Documents: max 100MB
-
-**Check 3:** Check media logs
+If cron or heartbeat did not run or did not deliver, verify scheduler state first, then delivery target.
 
 ```bash
-grep "media\\|fetch\\|download" "$(ls -t /tmp/openclaw/openclaw-*.log | head -1)" | tail -20
+openclaw cron status
+openclaw cron list
+openclaw cron runs --id <jobId> --limit 20
+openclaw system heartbeat last
+openclaw logs --follow
 ```
 
-### High Memory Usage
+Look for:
 
-OpenClaw keeps conversation history in memory.
+- Cron enabled and next wake present.
+- Job run history status (`ok`, `skipped`, `error`).
+- Heartbeat skip reasons (`quiet-hours`, `requests-in-flight`, `alerts-disabled`).
 
-**Fix:** Restart periodically or set session limits:
+Common signatures:
 
-```json
-{
-  "session": {
-    "historyLimit": 100 // Max messages to keep
-  }
-}
-```
+- `cron: scheduler disabled; jobs will not run automatically` → cron disabled.
+- `cron: timer tick failed` → scheduler tick failed; check file/log/runtime errors.
+- `heartbeat skipped` with `reason=quiet-hours` → outside active hours window.
+- `heartbeat: unknown accountId` → invalid account id for heartbeat delivery target.
 
-## Common troubleshooting
+Related:
 
-### “Gateway won’t start — configuration invalid”
+- [/automation/troubleshooting](/automation/troubleshooting)
+- [/automation/cron-jobs](/automation/cron-jobs)
+- [/gateway/heartbeat](/gateway/heartbeat)
 
-OpenClaw now refuses to start when the config contains unknown keys, malformed values, or invalid types.
-This is intentional for safety.
+## Node paired tool fails
 
-Fix it with Doctor:
+If a node is paired but tools fail, isolate foreground, permission, and approval state.
 
 ```bash
-openclaw doctor
-openclaw doctor --fix
-```
-
-Notes:
-
-- `openclaw doctor` reports every invalid entry.
-- `openclaw doctor --fix` applies migrations/repairs and rewrites the config.
-- Diagnostic commands like `openclaw logs`, `openclaw health`, `openclaw status`, `openclaw gateway status`, and `openclaw gateway probe` still run even if the config is invalid.
-
-### “All models failed” — what should I check first?
-
-- **Credentials** present for the provider(s) being tried (auth profiles + env vars).
-- **Model routing**: confirm `agents.defaults.model.primary` and fallbacks are models you can access.
-- **Gateway logs** in `/tmp/openclaw/…` for the exact provider error.
-- **Model status**: use `/model status` (chat) or `openclaw models status` (CLI).
-
-### I’m running on my personal WhatsApp number — why is self-chat weird?
-
-Enable self-chat mode and allowlist your own number:
-
-```json5
-{
-  channels: {
-    whatsapp: {
-      selfChatMode: true,
-      dmPolicy: "allowlist",
-      allowFrom: ["+15555550123"],
-    },
-  },
-}
+openclaw nodes status
+openclaw nodes describe --node <idOrNameOrIp>
+openclaw approvals get --node <idOrNameOrIp>
+openclaw logs --follow
+openclaw status
 ```
 
-See [WhatsApp setup](/channels/whatsapp).
-
-### WhatsApp logged me out. How do I re‑auth?
+Look for:
 
-Run the login command again and scan the QR code:
+- Node online with expected capabilities.
+- OS permission grants for camera/mic/location/screen.
+- Exec approvals and allowlist state.
 
-```bash
-openclaw channels login
-```
+Common signatures:
 
-### Build errors on `main` — what’s the standard fix path?
+- `NODE_BACKGROUND_UNAVAILABLE` → node app must be in foreground.
+- `*_PERMISSION_REQUIRED` / `LOCATION_PERMISSION_REQUIRED` → missing OS permission.
+- `SYSTEM_RUN_DENIED: approval required` → exec approval pending.
+- `SYSTEM_RUN_DENIED: allowlist miss` → command blocked by allowlist.
 
-1. `git pull origin main && pnpm install`
-2. `openclaw doctor`
-3. Check GitHub issues or Discord
-4. Temporary workaround: check out an older commit

-If you’re running from source, use the repo’s package manager: **pnpm** (preferred).
-The repo declares `packageManager: "pnpm@…"`.
+## Browser tool fails
 
-Typical recovery:
+Use this when browser tool actions fail even though the gateway itself is healthy.
 
 ```bash
-git status   # ensure you’re in the repo root
-pnpm install
-pnpm build
+openclaw browser status
+openclaw browser start --browser-profile openclaw
+openclaw browser profiles
+openclaw logs --follow
 openclaw doctor
-openclaw gateway restart
 ```
 
-Why: pnpm is the configured package manager for this repo.
-
-### How do I switch between git installs and npm installs?
-
-Use the **website installer** and select the install method with a flag. It
-upgrades in place and rewrites the gateway service to point at the new install.
-
-Switch **to git install**:
-
-```bash
-curl -fsSL https://openclaw.ai/install.sh | bash -s -- --install-method git --no-onboard
-```
-
-Switch **to npm global**:
-
-```bash
-curl -fsSL https://openclaw.ai/install.sh | bash
-```
+Look for:
 
-Notes:
+- Valid browser executable path.
+- CDP profile reachability.
+- Extension relay tab attachment for `profile="chrome"`.
 
-- The git flow only rebases if the repo is clean. Commit or stash changes first.
-- After switching, run:
-  ```bash
-  openclaw doctor
-  openclaw gateway restart
-  ```
+Common signatures:
 
-### Telegram block streaming isn’t splitting text between tool calls. Why?
+- `Failed to start Chrome CDP on port` → browser process failed to launch.
+- `browser.executablePath not found` → configured path is invalid.
+- `Chrome extension relay is running, but no tab is connected` → extension relay not attached.
+- `Browser attachOnly is enabled ... not reachable` → attach-only profile has no reachable target.
 
-Block streaming only sends **completed text blocks**. Common reasons you see a single message:
+Related:
 
-- `agents.defaults.blockStreamingDefault` is still `"off"`.
-- `channels.telegram.blockStreaming` is set to `false`.
-- `channels.telegram.streamMode` is `partial` or `block` **and draft streaming is active**
-  (private chat + topics). Draft streaming disables block streaming in that case.
-- Your `minChars` / coalesce settings are too high, so chunks get merged.
-- The model emits one large text block (no mid‑reply flush points).
+- [/tools/browser-linux-troubleshooting](/tools/browser-linux-troubleshooting)
+- [/tools/chrome-extension](/tools/chrome-extension)
+- [/tools/browser](/tools/browser)
 
-Fix checklist:
+## If you upgraded and something suddenly broke
 
-1. Put block streaming settings under `agents.defaults`, not the root.
-2. Set `channels.telegram.streamMode: "off"` if you want real multi‑message block replies.
-3. Use smaller chunk/coalesce thresholds while debugging.
+Most post-upgrade breakage is config drift or stricter defaults now being enforced.
 
-See [Streaming](/concepts/streaming).
-
-### Discord doesn’t reply in my server even with `requireMention: false`. Why?
-
-`requireMention` only controls mention‑gating **after** the channel passes allowlists.
-By default `channels.discord.groupPolicy` is **allowlist**, so guilds must be explicitly enabled.
-If you set `channels.discord.guilds.<guildId>.channels`, only the listed channels are allowed; omit it to allow all channels in the guild.
-
-Fix checklist:
-
-1. Set `channels.discord.groupPolicy: "open"` **or** add a guild allowlist entry (and optionally a channel allowlist).
-2. Use **numeric channel IDs** in `channels.discord.guilds.<guildId>.channels`.
-3. Put `requireMention: false` **under** `channels.discord.guilds` (global or per‑channel).
-   Top‑level `channels.discord.requireMention` is not a supported key.
-4. Ensure the bot has **Message Content Intent** and channel permissions.
-5. Run `openclaw channels status --probe` for audit hints.

-Docs: [Discord](/channels/discord), [Channels troubleshooting](/channels/troubleshooting).
-
-### Cloud Code Assist API error: invalid tool schema (400). What now?
-
-This is almost always a **tool schema compatibility** issue. The Cloud Code Assist
-endpoint accepts a strict subset of JSON Schema. OpenClaw scrubs/normalizes tool
-schemas in current `main`, but the fix is not in the last release yet (as of
-January 13, 2026).
-
-Fix checklist:
-
-1. **Update OpenClaw**:
-   - If you can run from source, pull `main` and restart the gateway.
-   - Otherwise, wait for the next release that includes the schema scrubber.
-2. Avoid unsupported keywords like `anyOf/oneOf/allOf`, `patternProperties`,
-   `additionalProperties`, `minLength`, `maxLength`, `format`, etc.
-3. If you define custom tools, keep the top‑level schema as `type: "object"` with
-   `properties` and simple enums.
-
-See [Tools](/tools) and [TypeBox schemas](/concepts/typebox).

-## macOS Specific Issues
-
-### App Crashes when Granting Permissions (Speech/Mic)
-
-If the app disappears or shows "Abort trap 6" when you click "Allow" on a privacy prompt:
-
-**Fix 1: Reset TCC Cache**
-
-```bash
-tccutil reset All bot.molt.mac.debug
-```
-
-**Fix 2: Force New Bundle ID**
-If resetting doesn't work, change the `BUNDLE_ID` in [`scripts/package-mac-app.sh`](https://github.com/openclaw/openclaw/blob/main/scripts/package-mac-app.sh) (e.g., add a `.test` suffix) and rebuild. This forces macOS to treat it as a new app.
-
-### Gateway stuck on "Starting..."
-
-The app connects to a local gateway on port `18789`. If it stays stuck:
-
-**Fix 1: Stop the supervisor (preferred)**
-If the gateway is supervised by launchd, killing the PID will just respawn it. Stop the supervisor first:
+### 1) Auth and URL override behavior changed
 
 ```bash
 openclaw gateway status
-openclaw gateway stop
-# Or: launchctl bootout gui/$UID/bot.molt.gateway (replace with bot.molt.<profile>; legacy com.openclaw.* still works)
+openclaw config get gateway.mode
+openclaw config get gateway.remote.url
+openclaw config get gateway.auth.mode
 ```
 
-**Fix 2: Port is busy (find the listener)**
+What to check:
 
-```bash
-lsof -nP -iTCP:18789 -sTCP:LISTEN
-```
+- If `gateway.mode=remote`, CLI calls may be targeting remote while your local service is fine.
+- Explicit `--url` calls do not fall back to stored credentials.
 
-If it’s an unsupervised process, try a graceful stop first, then escalate:
+Common signatures:
 
-```bash
-kill -TERM <PID>
-sleep 1
-kill -9 <PID> # last resort
-```
+- `gateway connect failed:` → wrong URL target.
+- `unauthorized` → endpoint reachable but wrong auth.
 
-**Fix 3: Check the CLI install**
-Ensure the global `openclaw` CLI is installed and matches the app version:
+### 2) Bind and auth guardrails are stricter
 
 ```bash
-openclaw --version
-npm install -g openclaw@<version>
+openclaw config get gateway.bind
+openclaw config get gateway.auth.token
+openclaw gateway status
+openclaw logs --follow
 ```
 
-## Debug Mode
-
-Get verbose logging:
+What to check:
 
-```bash
-# Turn on trace logging in config:
-#   ${OPENCLAW_CONFIG_PATH:-$HOME/.openclaw/openclaw.json} -> { logging: { level: "trace" } }
-#
-# Then run verbose commands to mirror debug output to stdout:
-openclaw gateway --verbose
-openclaw channels login --verbose
-```
+- Non-loopback binds (`lan`, `tailnet`, `custom`) need auth configured.
+- Old keys like `gateway.token` do not replace `gateway.auth.token`.

-## Getting Help
-
-1. Check logs first: `/tmp/openclaw/` (default: `openclaw-YYYY-MM-DD.log`, or your configured `logging.file`)
-2. Search existing issues on GitHub
-3. Open a new issue with:
-   - OpenClaw version
-   - Relevant log snippets
-   - Steps to reproduce
-   - Your config (redact secrets!)
-
----
+- Pending device approvals for dashboard/nodes.
+- Pending DM pairing approvals after policy or identity changes.
 
-_"Have you tried turning it off and on again?"_ — Every IT person ever
+Common signatures:
 
-🦞🔧
+- `device identity required` → device auth not satisfied.

-### Browser Not Starting (Linux)
-
-If you see `"Failed to start Chrome CDP on port 18800"`:
-
-**Most likely cause:** Snap-packaged Chromium on Ubuntu.
-
-**Quick fix:** Install Google Chrome instead:
+If the service config and runtime still disagree after checks, reinstall service metadata from the same profile/state directory:
 
 ```bash
-wget https://dl.google.com/linux/direct/google-chrome-stable_current_amd64.deb
-sudo dpkg -i google-chrome-stable_current_amd64.deb
+openclaw gateway install --force
+openclaw gateway restart
 ```
 
-Then set in config:
-
-```json
-{
-  "browser": {
-    "executablePath": "/usr/bin/google-chrome-stable"
-  }
-}
-```

+read_when:
+  - Running OpenClaw behind an identity-aware proxy
+  - Setting up Pomerium, Caddy, or nginx with OAuth in front of OpenClaw
+  - Fixing WebSocket 1008 unauthorized errors with reverse proxy setups
+---
+
+# Trusted Proxy Auth
+
+> ⚠️ **Security-sensitive feature.** This mode delegates authentication entirely to your reverse proxy. Misconfiguration can expose your Gateway to unauthorized access. Read this page carefully before enabling.
+
+## When to Use
+
+Use `trusted-proxy` auth mode when:
+
+- You run OpenClaw behind an **identity-aware proxy** (Pomerium, Caddy + OAuth, nginx + oauth2-proxy, Traefik + forward auth)
+- Your proxy handles all authentication and passes user identity via headers
+- You're in a Kubernetes or container environment where the proxy is the only path to the Gateway
+- You're hitting WebSocket `1008 unauthorized` errors because browsers can't pass tokens in WS payloads
+
+## When NOT to Use
+
+- If your proxy doesn't authenticate users (just a TLS terminator or load balancer)
+- If there's any path to the Gateway that bypasses the proxy (firewall holes, internal network access)
+- If you're unsure whether your proxy correctly strips/overwrites forwarded headers
+- If you only need personal single-user access (consider Tailscale Serve + loopback for simpler setup)
+
+## How It Works
+
+1. Your reverse proxy authenticates users (OAuth, OIDC, SAML, etc.)
+2. Proxy adds a header with the authenticated user identity (e.g., `x-forwarded-user: nick@example.com`)
+3. OpenClaw checks that the request came from a **trusted proxy IP** (configured in `gateway.trustedProxies`)
+4. OpenClaw extracts the user identity from the configured header
+5. If everything checks out, the request is authorized
+
+## Configuration
+
+```json5
+{
+  gateway: {
+    // Must bind to network interface (not loopback)
+    bind: "lan",
+
+    // CRITICAL: Only add your proxy's IP(s) here
+    trustedProxies: ["10.0.0.1", "172.17.0.1"],
+
+    auth: {
+      mode: "trusted-proxy",
+      trustedProxy: {
+        // Header containing authenticated user identity (required)
+        userHeader: "x-forwarded-user",
+
+        // Optional: headers that MUST be present (proxy verification)
+        requiredHeaders: ["x-forwarded-proto", "x-forwarded-host"],
+
+        // Optional: restrict to specific users (empty = allow all)
+        allowUsers: ["nick@example.com", "admin@company.org"],
+      },
+    },
+  },
+}
+```
+
+### Configuration Reference

+
+## Proxy Setup Examples
+
+### Pomerium
+
+Pomerium passes identity in `x-pomerium-claim-email` (or other claim headers) and a JWT in `x-pomerium-jwt-assertion`.
+
+```json5
+{
+  gateway: {
+    bind: "lan",
+    trustedProxies: ["10.0.0.1"], // Pomerium's IP
+    auth: {
+      mode: "trusted-proxy",
+      trustedProxy: {
+        userHeader: "x-pomerium-claim-email",
+        requiredHeaders: ["x-pomerium-jwt-assertion"],
+      },
+    },
+  },
+}
+```
+
+Pomerium config snippet:
+
+```yaml
+routes:
+  - from: https://openclaw.example.com
+    to: http://openclaw-gateway:18789
+    policy:
+      - allow:
+          or:
+            - email:
+                is: nick@example.com
+    pass_identity_headers: true
+```
+
+### Caddy with OAuth
+
+Caddy with the `caddy-security` plugin can authenticate users and pass identity headers.
+
+```json5
+{
+  gateway: {
+    bind: "lan",
+    trustedProxies: ["127.0.0.1"], // Caddy's IP (if on same host)
+    auth: {
+      mode: "trusted-proxy",
+      trustedProxy: {
+        userHeader: "x-forwarded-user",
+      },
+    },
+  },
+}
+```
+
+Caddyfile snippet:
+
+```
+openclaw.example.com {
+    authenticate with oauth2_provider
+    authorize with policy1
+
+    reverse_proxy openclaw:18789 {
+        header_up X-Forwarded-User {http.auth.user.email}
+    }
+}
+```
+
+### nginx + oauth2-proxy
+
+oauth2-proxy authenticates users and passes identity in `x-auth-request-email`.
+
+```json5
+{
+  gateway: {
+    bind: "lan",
+    trustedProxies: ["10.0.0.1"], // nginx/oauth2-proxy IP
+    auth: {
+      mode: "trusted-proxy",
+      trustedProxy: {
+        userHeader: "x-auth-request-email",
+      },
+    },
+  },
+}
+```
+
+nginx config snippet:
+
+```nginx
+location / {
+    auth_request /oauth2/auth;
+    auth_request_set $user $upstream_http_x_auth_request_email;
+
+    proxy_pass http://openclaw:18789;
+    proxy_set_header X-Auth-Request-Email $user;
+    proxy_http_version 1.1;
+    proxy_set_header Upgrade $http_upgrade;
+    proxy_set_header Connection "upgrade";
+}
+```
+
+### Traefik with Forward Auth
+
+```json5
+{
+  gateway: {
+    bind: "lan",
+    trustedProxies: ["172.17.0.1"], // Traefik container IP
+    auth: {
+      mode: "trusted-proxy",
+      trustedProxy: {
+        userHeader: "x-forwarded-user",
+      },
+    },
+  },
+}
+```
+
+## Security Checklist
+
+Before enabling trusted-proxy auth, verify:
+
+- [ ] **Proxy is the only path**: The Gateway port is firewalled from everything except your proxy
+- [ ] **trustedProxies is minimal**: Only your actual proxy IPs, not entire subnets
+- [ ] **Proxy strips headers**: Your proxy overwrites (not appends) `x-forwarded-*` headers from clients
+- [ ] **TLS termination**: Your proxy handles TLS; users connect via HTTPS
+- [ ] **allowUsers is set** (recommended): Restrict to known users rather than allowing anyone authenticated
+
+## Security Audit
+
+`openclaw security audit` will flag trusted-proxy auth with a **critical** severity finding. This is intentional — it's a reminder that you're delegating security to your proxy setup.
+
+The audit checks for:
+
+- Missing `trustedProxies` configuration
+- Missing `userHeader` configuration
+- Empty `allowUsers` (allows any authenticated user)
+
+## Troubleshooting
+
+### "trusted_proxy_untrusted_source"
+
+The request didn't come from an IP in `gateway.trustedProxies`. Check:
+
+- Is the proxy IP correct? (Docker container IPs can change)
+- Is there a load balancer in front of your proxy?
+- Use `docker inspect` or `kubectl get pods -o wide` to find actual IPs
+
+### "trusted_proxy_user_missing"
+
+The user header was empty or missing. Check:
+
+- Is your proxy configured to pass identity headers?
+- Is the header name correct? (case-insensitive, but spelling matters)
+- Is the user actually authenticated at the proxy?
+
+### "trusted*proxy_missing_header*\*"
+
+A required header wasn't present. Check:
+
+- Your proxy configuration for those specific headers
+- Whether headers are being stripped somewhere in the chain
+
+### "trusted_proxy_user_not_allowed"
+
+The user is authenticated but not in `allowUsers`. Either add them or remove the allowlist.
+
+### WebSocket Still Failing
+
+Make sure your proxy:
+
+- Supports WebSocket upgrades (`Upgrade: websocket`, `Connection: upgrade`)
+- Passes the identity headers on WebSocket upgrade requests (not just HTTP)
+- Doesn't have a separate auth path for WebSocket connections
+
+## Migration from Token Auth
+
+If you're moving from token auth to trusted-proxy:
+
+1. Configure your proxy to authenticate users and pass headers
+2. Test the proxy setup independently (curl with headers)
+3. Update OpenClaw config with trusted-proxy auth
+4. Restart the Gateway
+5. Test WebSocket connections from the Control UI
+6. Run `openclaw security audit` and review findings

+summary: "Where OpenClaw loads environment variables and the precedence order"
+read_when:
+  - You need to know which env vars are loaded, and in what order
+  - You are debugging missing API keys in the Gateway
+  - You are documenting provider auth or deployment environments
+title: "Environment Variables"
+---
+
+# Environment variables
+
+OpenClaw pulls environment variables from multiple sources. The rule is **never override existing values**.
+
+## Precedence (highest → lowest)
+
+1. **Process environment** (what the Gateway process already has from the parent shell/daemon).
+2. **`.env` in the current working directory** (dotenv default; does not override).
+3. **Global `.env`** at `~/.openclaw/.env` (aka `$OPENCLAW_STATE_DIR/.env`; does not override).
+4. **Config `env` block** in `~/.openclaw/openclaw.json` (applied only if missing).
+5. **Optional login-shell import** (`env.shellEnv.enabled` or `OPENCLAW_LOAD_SHELL_ENV=1`), applied only for missing expected keys.
+
+If the config file is missing entirely, step 4 is skipped; shell import still runs if enabled.
+
+## Config `env` block
+
+Two equivalent ways to set inline env vars (both are non-overriding):
+
+```json5
+{
+  env: {
+    OPENROUTER_API_KEY: "sk-or-...",
+    vars: {
+      GROQ_API_KEY: "gsk-...",
+    },
+  },
+}
+```
+
+## Shell env import
+
+`env.shellEnv` runs your login shell and imports only **missing** expected keys:
+
+```json5
+{
+  env: {
+    shellEnv: {
+      enabled: true,
+      timeoutMs: 15000,
+    },
+  },
+}
+```
+
+Env var equivalents:
+
+- `OPENCLAW_LOAD_SHELL_ENV=1`
+- `OPENCLAW_SHELL_ENV_TIMEOUT_MS=15000`
+
+## Env var substitution in config
+
+You can reference env vars directly in config string values using `${VAR_NAME}` syntax:
+
+```json5
+{
+  models: {
+    providers: {
+      "vercel-gateway": {
+        apiKey: "${VERCEL_GATEWAY_API_KEY}",
+      },
+    },
+  },
+}
+```
+
+See [Configuration: Env var substitution](/gateway/configuration#env-var-substitution-in-config) for full details.
+
+## Path-related env vars
+
+| Variable               | Purpose                                                                                                                                                                          |
+| ---------------------- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
+| `OPENCLAW_HOME`        | Override the home directory used for all internal path resolution (`~/.openclaw/`, agent dirs, sessions, credentials). Useful when running OpenClaw as a dedicated service user. |
+| `OPENCLAW_STATE_DIR`   | Override the state directory (default `~/.openclaw`).                                                                                                                            |
+| `OPENCLAW_CONFIG_PATH` | Override the config file path (default `~/.openclaw/openclaw.json`).                                                                                                             |
+
+### `OPENCLAW_HOME`
+
+When set, `OPENCLAW_HOME` replaces the system home directory (`$HOME` / `os.homedir()`) for all internal path resolution. This enables full filesystem isolation for headless service accounts.
+
+**Precedence:** `OPENCLAW_HOME` > `$HOME` > `USERPROFILE` > `os.homedir()`
+
+**Example** (macOS LaunchDaemon):
+
+```xml
+<key>EnvironmentVariables</key>
+<dict>
+  <key>OPENCLAW_HOME</key>
+  <string>/Users/kira</string>
+</dict>
+```
+
+`OPENCLAW_HOME` can also be set to a tilde path (e.g. `~/svc`), which gets expanded using `$HOME` before use.

-**A:** In OpenClaw, credentials and model selection are separate. Setting `ANTHROPIC_API_KEY` (or storing an Anthropic API key in auth profiles) enables authentication, but the actual default model is whatever you configure in `agents.defaults.model.primary` (for example, `anthropic/claude-sonnet-4-5` or `anthropic/claude-opus-4-5`). If you see `No credentials found for profile "anthropic:default"`, it means the Gateway couldn't find Anthropic credentials in the expected `auth-profiles.json` for the agent that's running.
+**A:** In OpenClaw, credentials and model selection are separate. Setting `ANTHROPIC_API_KEY` (or storing an Anthropic API key in auth profiles) enables authentication, but the actual default model is whatever you configure in `agents.defaults.model.primary` (for example, `anthropic/claude-sonnet-4-5` or `anthropic/claude-opus-4-6`). If you see `No credentials found for profile "anthropic:default"`, it means the Gateway couldn't find Anthropic credentials in the expected `auth-profiles.json` for the agent that's running.

+
+# Testing
+
+OpenClaw has three Vitest suites (unit/integration, e2e, live) and a small set of Docker runners.
+
+This doc is a “how we test” guide:
+
+- What each suite covers (and what it deliberately does _not_ cover)
+- Which commands to run for common workflows (local, pre-push, debugging)
+- How live tests discover credentials and select models/providers
+- How to add regressions for real-world model/provider issues
+
+## Quick start
+
+Most days:
+
+- Full gate (expected before push): `pnpm build && pnpm check && pnpm test`
+
+When you touch tests or want extra confidence:
+
+- Coverage gate: `pnpm test:coverage`
+- E2E suite: `pnpm test:e2e`
+
+When debugging real providers/models (requires real creds):
+
+- Live suite (models + gateway tool/image probes): `pnpm test:live`
+
+Tip: when you only need one failing case, prefer narrowing live tests via the allowlist env vars described below.
+
+## Test suites (what runs where)
+
+Think of the suites as “increasing realism” (and increasing flakiness/cost):
+
+### Unit / integration (default)
+
+- Command: `pnpm test`
+- Config: `scripts/test-parallel.mjs` (runs `vitest.unit.config.ts`, `vitest.extensions.config.ts`, `vitest.gateway.config.ts`)
+- Files: `src/**/*.test.ts`, `extensions/**/*.test.ts`
+- Scope:
+  - Pure unit tests
+  - In-process integration tests (gateway auth, routing, tooling, parsing, config)
+  - Deterministic regressions for known bugs
+- Expectations:
+  - Runs in CI
+  - No real keys required
+  - Should be fast and stable
+- Pool note:
+  - OpenClaw uses Vitest `vmForks` on Node 22/23 for faster unit shards.
+  - On Node 24+, OpenClaw automatically falls back to regular `forks` to avoid Node VM linking errors (`ERR_VM_MODULE_LINK_FAILURE` / `module is already linked`).
+  - Override manually with `OPENCLAW_TEST_VM_FORKS=0` (force `forks`) or `OPENCLAW_TEST_VM_FORKS=1` (force `vmForks`).
+
+### E2E (gateway smoke)
+
+- Command: `pnpm test:e2e`
+- Config: `vitest.e2e.config.ts`
+- Files: `src/**/*.e2e.test.ts`
+- Runtime defaults:
+  - Uses Vitest `vmForks` for faster file startup.
+  - Uses adaptive workers (CI: 2-4, local: 4-8).
+  - Runs in silent mode by default to reduce console I/O overhead.
+- Useful overrides:
+  - `OPENCLAW_E2E_WORKERS=<n>` to force worker count (capped at 16).
+  - `OPENCLAW_E2E_VERBOSE=1` to re-enable verbose console output.
+- Scope:
+  - Multi-instance gateway end-to-end behavior
+  - WebSocket/HTTP surfaces, node pairing, and heavier networking
+- Expectations:
+  - Runs in CI (when enabled in the pipeline)
+  - No real keys required
+  - More moving parts than unit tests (can be slower)
+
+### Live (real providers + real models)
+
+- Command: `pnpm test:live`
+- Config: `vitest.live.config.ts`
+- Files: `src/**/*.live.test.ts`
+- Default: **enabled** by `pnpm test:live` (sets `OPENCLAW_LIVE_TEST=1`)
+- Scope:
+  - “Does this provider/model actually work _today_ with real creds?”
+  - Catch provider format changes, tool-calling quirks, auth issues, and rate limit behavior
+- Expectations:
+  - Not CI-stable by design (real networks, real provider policies, quotas, outages)
+  - Costs money / uses rate limits
+  - Prefer running narrowed subsets instead of “everything”
+  - Live runs will source `~/.profile` to pick up missing API keys
+  - Anthropic key rotation: set `OPENCLAW_LIVE_ANTHROPIC_KEYS="sk-...,sk-..."` (or `OPENCLAW_LIVE_ANTHROPIC_KEY=sk-...`) or multiple `ANTHROPIC_API_KEY*` vars; tests will retry on rate limits
+
+## Which suite should I run?
+
+Use this decision table:
+
+- Editing logic/tests: run `pnpm test` (and `pnpm test:coverage` if you changed a lot)
+- Touching gateway networking / WS protocol / pairing: add `pnpm test:e2e`
+- Debugging “my bot is down” / provider-specific failures / tool calling: run a narrowed `pnpm test:live`
+
+## Live: model smoke (profile keys)
+
+Live tests are split into two layers so we can isolate failures:
+
+- “Direct model” tells us the provider/model can answer at all with the given key.
+- “Gateway smoke” tells us the full gateway+agent pipeline works for that model (sessions, history, tools, sandbox policy, etc.).
+
+### Layer 1: Direct model completion (no gateway)
+
+- Test: `src/agents/models.profiles.live.test.ts`
+- Goal:
+  - Enumerate discovered models
+  - Use `getApiKeyForModel` to select models you have creds for
+  - Run a small completion per model (and targeted regressions where needed)
+- How to enable:
+  - `pnpm test:live` (or `OPENCLAW_LIVE_TEST=1` if invoking Vitest directly)
+- Set `OPENCLAW_LIVE_MODELS=modern` (or `all`, alias for modern) to actually run this suite; otherwise it skips to keep `pnpm test:live` focused on gateway smoke
+- How to select models:
+  - `OPENCLAW_LIVE_MODELS=modern` to run the modern allowlist (Opus/Sonnet/Haiku 4.5, GPT-5.x + Codex, Gemini 3, GLM 4.7, MiniMax M2.1, Grok 4)
+  - `OPENCLAW_LIVE_MODELS=all` is an alias for the modern allowlist
+  - or `OPENCLAW_LIVE_MODELS="openai/gpt-5.2,anthropic/claude-opus-4-6,..."` (comma allowlist)
+- How to select providers:
+  - `OPENCLAW_LIVE_PROVIDERS="google,google-antigravity,google-gemini-cli"` (comma allowlist)
+- Where keys come from:
+  - By default: profile store and env fallbacks
+  - Set `OPENCLAW_LIVE_REQUIRE_PROFILE_KEYS=1` to enforce **profile store** only
+- Why this exists:
+  - Separates “provider API is broken / key is invalid” from “gateway agent pipeline is broken”
+  - Contains small, isolated regressions (example: OpenAI Responses/Codex Responses reasoning replay + tool-call flows)
+
+### Layer 2: Gateway + dev agent smoke (what “@openclaw” actually does)
+
+- Test: `src/gateway/gateway-models.profiles.live.test.ts`
+- Goal:
+  - Spin up an in-process gateway
+  - Create/patch a `agent:dev:*` session (model override per run)
+  - Iterate models-with-keys and assert:
+    - “meaningful” response (no tools)
+    - a real tool invocation works (read probe)
+    - optional extra tool probes (exec+read probe)
+    - OpenAI regression paths (tool-call-only → follow-up) keep working
+- Probe details (so you can explain failures quickly):
+  - `read` probe: the test writes a nonce file in the workspace and asks the agent to `read` it and echo the nonce back.
+  - `exec+read` probe: the test asks the agent to `exec`-write a nonce into a temp file, then `read` it back.
+  - image probe: the test attaches a generated PNG (cat + randomized code) and expects the model to return `cat <CODE>`.
+  - Implementation reference: `src/gateway/gateway-models.profiles.live.test.ts` and `src/gateway/live-image-probe.ts`.
+- How to enable:
+  - `pnpm test:live` (or `OPENCLAW_LIVE_TEST=1` if invoking Vitest directly)
+- How to select models:
+  - Default: modern allowlist (Opus/Sonnet/Haiku 4.5, GPT-5.x + Codex, Gemini 3, GLM 4.7, MiniMax M2.1, Grok 4)
+  - `OPENCLAW_LIVE_GATEWAY_MODELS=all` is an alias for the modern allowlist
+  - Or set `OPENCLAW_LIVE_GATEWAY_MODELS="provider/model"` (or comma list) to narrow
+- How to select providers (avoid “OpenRouter everything”):
+  - `OPENCLAW_LIVE_GATEWAY_PROVIDERS="google,google-antigravity,google-gemini-cli,openai,anthropic,zai,minimax"` (comma allowlist)
+- Tool + image probes are always on in this live test:
+  - `read` probe + `exec+read` probe (tool stress)
+  - image probe runs when the model advertises image input support
+  - Flow (high level):
+    - Test generates a tiny PNG with “CAT” + random code (`src/gateway/live-image-probe.ts`)
+    - Sends it via `agent` `attachments: [{ mimeType: "image/png", content: "<base64>" }]`
+    - Gateway parses attachments into `images[]` (`src/gateway/server-methods/agent.ts` + `src/gateway/chat-attachments.ts`)
+    - Embedded agent forwards a multimodal user message to the model
+    - Assertion: reply contains `cat` + the code (OCR tolerance: minor mistakes allowed)
+
+Tip: to see what you can test on your machine (and the exact `provider/model` ids), run:
+
+```bash
+openclaw models list
+openclaw models list --json
+```
+
+## Live: Anthropic setup-token smoke
+
+- Test: `src/agents/anthropic.setup-token.live.test.ts`
+- Goal: verify Claude Code CLI setup-token (or a pasted setup-token profile) can complete an Anthropic prompt.
+- Enable:
+  - `pnpm test:live` (or `OPENCLAW_LIVE_TEST=1` if invoking Vitest directly)
+  - `OPENCLAW_LIVE_SETUP_TOKEN=1`
+- Token sources (pick one):
+  - Profile: `OPENCLAW_LIVE_SETUP_TOKEN_PROFILE=anthropic:setup-token-test`
+  - Raw token: `OPENCLAW_LIVE_SETUP_TOKEN_VALUE=sk-ant-oat01-...`
+- Model override (optional):
+  - `OPENCLAW_LIVE_SETUP_TOKEN_MODEL=anthropic/claude-opus-4-6`
+
+Setup example:
+
+```bash
+openclaw models auth paste-token --provider anthropic --profile-id anthropic:setup-token-test
+OPENCLAW_LIVE_SETUP_TOKEN=1 OPENCLAW_LIVE_SETUP_TOKEN_PROFILE=anthropic:setup-token-test pnpm test:live src/agents/anthropic.setup-token.live.test.ts
+```
+
+## Live: CLI backend smoke (Claude Code CLI or other local CLIs)
+
+- Test: `src/gateway/gateway-cli-backend.live.test.ts`
+- Goal: validate the Gateway + agent pipeline using a local CLI backend, without touching your default config.
+- Enable:
+  - `pnpm test:live` (or `OPENCLAW_LIVE_TEST=1` if invoking Vitest directly)
+  - `OPENCLAW_LIVE_CLI_BACKEND=1`
+- Defaults:
+  - Model: `claude-cli/claude-sonnet-4-5`
+  - Command: `claude`
+  - Args: `["-p","--output-format","json","--dangerously-skip-permissions"]`
+- Overrides (optional):
+  - `OPENCLAW_LIVE_CLI_BACKEND_MODEL="claude-cli/claude-opus-4-6"`
+  - `OPENCLAW_LIVE_CLI_BACKEND_MODEL="codex-cli/gpt-5.3-codex"`
+  - `OPENCLAW_LIVE_CLI_BACKEND_COMMAND="/full/path/to/claude"`
+  - `OPENCLAW_LIVE_CLI_BACKEND_ARGS='["-p","--output-format","json","--permission-mode","bypassPermissions"]'`
+  - `OPENCLAW_LIVE_CLI_BACKEND_CLEAR_ENV='["ANTHROPIC_API_KEY","ANTHROPIC_API_KEY_OLD"]'`
+  - `OPENCLAW_LIVE_CLI_BACKEND_IMAGE_PROBE=1` to send a real image attachment (paths are injected into the prompt).
+  - `OPENCLAW_LIVE_CLI_BACKEND_IMAGE_ARG="--image"` to pass image file paths as CLI args instead of prompt injection.
+  - `OPENCLAW_LIVE_CLI_BACKEND_IMAGE_MODE="repeat"` (or `"list"`) to control how image args are passed when `IMAGE_ARG` is set.
+  - `OPENCLAW_LIVE_CLI_BACKEND_RESUME_PROBE=1` to send a second turn and validate resume flow.
+- `OPENCLAW_LIVE_CLI_BACKEND_DISABLE_MCP_CONFIG=0` to keep Claude Code CLI MCP config enabled (default disables MCP config with a temporary empty file).
+
+Example:
+
+```bash
+OPENCLAW_LIVE_CLI_BACKEND=1 \
+  OPENCLAW_LIVE_CLI_BACKEND_MODEL="claude-cli/claude-sonnet-4-5" \
+  pnpm test:live src/gateway/gateway-cli-backend.live.test.ts
+```
+
+### Recommended live recipes
+
+Narrow, explicit allowlists are fastest and least flaky:
+
+- Single model, direct (no gateway):
+  - `OPENCLAW_LIVE_MODELS="openai/gpt-5.2" pnpm test:live src/agents/models.profiles.live.test.ts`
+
+- Single model, gateway smoke:
+  - `OPENCLAW_LIVE_GATEWAY_MODELS="openai/gpt-5.2" pnpm test:live src/gateway/gateway-models.profiles.live.test.ts`
+
+- Tool calling across several providers:
+  - `OPENCLAW_LIVE_GATEWAY_MODELS="openai/gpt-5.2,anthropic/claude-opus-4-6,google/gemini-3-flash-preview,zai/glm-4.7,minimax/minimax-m2.1" pnpm test:live src/gateway/gateway-models.profiles.live.test.ts`
+
+- Google focus (Gemini API key + Antigravity):
+  - Gemini (API key): `OPENCLAW_LIVE_GATEWAY_MODELS="google/gemini-3-flash-preview" pnpm test:live src/gateway/gateway-models.profiles.live.test.ts`
+  - Antigravity (OAuth): `OPENCLAW_LIVE_GATEWAY_MODELS="google-antigravity/claude-opus-4-6-thinking,google-antigravity/gemini-3-pro-high" pnpm test:live src/gateway/gateway-models.profiles.live.test.ts`
+
+Notes:
+
+- `google/...` uses the Gemini API (API key).
+- `google-antigravity/...` uses the Antigravity OAuth bridge (Cloud Code Assist-style agent endpoint).
+- `google-gemini-cli/...` uses the local Gemini CLI on your machine (separate auth + tooling quirks).
+- Gemini API vs Gemini CLI:
+  - API: OpenClaw calls Google’s hosted Gemini API over HTTP (API key / profile auth); this is what most users mean by “Gemini”.
+  - CLI: OpenClaw shells out to a local `gemini` binary; it has its own auth and can behave differently (streaming/tool support/version skew).
+
+## Live: model matrix (what we cover)
+
+There is no fixed “CI model list” (live is opt-in), but these are the **recommended** models to cover regularly on a dev machine with keys.
+
+### Modern smoke set (tool calling + image)
+
+This is the “common models” run we expect to keep working:
+
+- OpenAI (non-Codex): `openai/gpt-5.2` (optional: `openai/gpt-5.1`)
+- OpenAI Codex: `openai-codex/gpt-5.3-codex` (optional: `openai-codex/gpt-5.3-codex-codex`)
+- Anthropic: `anthropic/claude-opus-4-6` (or `anthropic/claude-sonnet-4-5`)
+- Google (Gemini API): `google/gemini-3-pro-preview` and `google/gemini-3-flash-preview` (avoid older Gemini 2.x models)
+- Google (Antigravity): `google-antigravity/claude-opus-4-6-thinking` and `google-antigravity/gemini-3-flash`
+- Z.AI (GLM): `zai/glm-4.7`
+- MiniMax: `minimax/minimax-m2.1`
+
+Run gateway smoke with tools + image:
+`OPENCLAW_LIVE_GATEWAY_MODELS="openai/gpt-5.2,openai-codex/gpt-5.3-codex,anthropic/claude-opus-4-6,google/gemini-3-pro-preview,google/gemini-3-flash-preview,google-antigravity/claude-opus-4-6-thinking,google-antigravity/gemini-3-flash,zai/glm-4.7,minimax/minimax-m2.1" pnpm test:live src/gateway/gateway-models.profiles.live.test.ts`
+
+### Baseline: tool calling (Read + optional Exec)
+
+Pick at least one per provider family:
+
+- OpenAI: `openai/gpt-5.2` (or `openai/gpt-5-mini`)
+- Anthropic: `anthropic/claude-opus-4-6` (or `anthropic/claude-sonnet-4-5`)
+- Google: `google/gemini-3-flash-preview` (or `google/gemini-3-pro-preview`)
+- Z.AI (GLM): `zai/glm-4.7`
+- MiniMax: `minimax/minimax-m2.1`
+
+Optional additional coverage (nice to have):
+
+- xAI: `xai/grok-4` (or latest available)
+- Mistral: `mistral/`… (pick one “tools” capable model you have enabled)
+- Cerebras: `cerebras/`… (if you have access)
+- LM Studio: `lmstudio/`… (local; tool calling depends on API mode)
+
+### Vision: image send (attachment → multimodal message)
+
+Include at least one image-capable model in `OPENCLAW_LIVE_GATEWAY_MODELS` (Claude/Gemini/OpenAI vision-capable variants, etc.) to exercise the image probe.
+
+### Aggregators / alternate gateways
+
+If you have keys enabled, we also support testing via:
+
+- OpenRouter: `openrouter/...` (hundreds of models; use `openclaw models scan` to find tool+image capable candidates)
+- OpenCode Zen: `opencode/...` (auth via `OPENCODE_API_KEY` / `OPENCODE_ZEN_API_KEY`)
+
+More providers you can include in the live matrix (if you have creds/config):
+
+- Built-in: `openai`, `openai-codex`, `anthropic`, `google`, `google-vertex`, `google-antigravity`, `google-gemini-cli`, `zai`, `openrouter`, `opencode`, `xai`, `groq`, `cerebras`, `mistral`, `github-copilot`
+- Via `models.providers` (custom endpoints): `minimax` (cloud/API), plus any OpenAI/Anthropic-compatible proxy (LM Studio, vLLM, LiteLLM, etc.)
+
+Tip: don’t try to hardcode “all models” in docs. The authoritative list is whatever `discoverModels(...)` returns on your machine + whatever keys are available.
+
+## Credentials (never commit)
+
+Live tests discover credentials the same way the CLI does. Practical implications:
+
+- If the CLI works, live tests should find the same keys.
+- If a live test says “no creds”, debug the same way you’d debug `openclaw models list` / model selection.
+
+- Profile store: `~/.openclaw/credentials/` (preferred; what “profile keys” means in the tests)
+- Config: `~/.openclaw/openclaw.json` (or `OPENCLAW_CONFIG_PATH`)
+
+If you want to rely on env keys (e.g. exported in your `~/.profile`), run local tests after `source ~/.profile`, or use the Docker runners below (they can mount `~/.profile` into the container).
+
+## Deepgram live (audio transcription)
+
+- Test: `src/media-understanding/providers/deepgram/audio.live.test.ts`
+- Enable: `DEEPGRAM_API_KEY=... DEEPGRAM_LIVE_TEST=1 pnpm test:live src/media-understanding/providers/deepgram/audio.live.test.ts`
+
+## Docker runners (optional “works in Linux” checks)
+
+These run `pnpm test:live` inside the repo Docker image, mounting your local config dir and workspace (and sourcing `~/.profile` if mounted):
+
+- Direct models: `pnpm test:docker:live-models` (script: `scripts/test-live-models-docker.sh`)
+- Gateway + dev agent: `pnpm test:docker:live-gateway` (script: `scripts/test-live-gateway-models-docker.sh`)
+- Onboarding wizard (TTY, full scaffolding): `pnpm test:docker:onboard` (script: `scripts/e2e/onboard-docker.sh`)
+- Gateway networking (two containers, WS auth + health): `pnpm test:docker:gateway-network` (script: `scripts/e2e/gateway-network-docker.sh`)
+- Plugins (custom extension load + registry smoke): `pnpm test:docker:plugins` (script: `scripts/e2e/plugins-docker.sh`)
+
+Useful env vars:
+
+- `OPENCLAW_CONFIG_DIR=...` (default: `~/.openclaw`) mounted to `/home/node/.openclaw`
+- `OPENCLAW_WORKSPACE_DIR=...` (default: `~/.openclaw/workspace`) mounted to `/home/node/.openclaw/workspace`
+- `OPENCLAW_PROFILE_FILE=...` (default: `~/.profile`) mounted to `/home/node/.profile` and sourced before running tests
+- `OPENCLAW_LIVE_GATEWAY_MODELS=...` / `OPENCLAW_LIVE_MODELS=...` to narrow the run
+- `OPENCLAW_LIVE_REQUIRE_PROFILE_KEYS=1` to ensure creds come from the profile store (not env)
+
+## Docs sanity
+
+Run docs checks after doc edits: `pnpm docs:list`.
+
+## Offline regression (CI-safe)
+
+These are “real pipeline” regressions without real providers:
+
+- Gateway tool calling (mock OpenAI, real gateway + agent loop): `src/gateway/gateway.tool-calling.mock-openai.test.ts`
+- Gateway wizard (WS `wizard.start`/`wizard.next`, writes config + auth enforced): `src/gateway/gateway.wizard.e2e.test.ts`
+
+## Agent reliability evals (skills)
+
+We already have a few CI-safe tests that behave like “agent reliability evals”:
+
+- Mock tool-calling through the real gateway + agent loop (`src/gateway/gateway.tool-calling.mock-openai.test.ts`).
+- End-to-end wizard flows that validate session wiring and config effects (`src/gateway/gateway.wizard.e2e.test.ts`).
+
+What’s still missing for skills (see [Skills](/tools/skills)):
+
+- **Decisioning:** when skills are listed in the prompt, does the agent pick the right skill (or avoid irrelevant ones)?
+- **Compliance:** does the agent read `SKILL.md` before use and follow required steps/args?
+- **Workflow contracts:** multi-turn scenarios that assert tool order, session history carryover, and sandbox boundaries.
+
+Future evals should stay deterministic first:
+
+- A scenario runner using mock providers to assert tool calls + order, skill file reads, and session wiring.
+- A small suite of skill-focused scenarios (use vs avoid, gating, prompt injection).
+- Optional live evals (opt-in, env-gated) only after the CI-safe suite is in place.
+
+## Adding regressions (guidance)
+
+When you fix a provider/model issue discovered in live:
+
+- Add a CI-safe regression if possible (mock/stub provider, or capture the exact request-shape transformation)
+- If it’s inherently live-only (rate limits, auth policies), keep the live test narrow and opt-in via env vars
+- Prefer targeting the smallest layer that catches the bug:
+  - provider request conversion/replay bug → direct models test
+  - gateway session/history/tool pipeline bug → gateway live smoke or CI-safe gateway mock test

-title: "Hooks"

-
-# Hooks
-
-Hooks provide an extensible event-driven system for automating actions in response to agent commands and events. Hooks are automatically discovered from directories and can be managed via CLI commands, similar to how skills work in OpenClaw.
-
-## Getting Oriented
-
-Hooks are small scripts that run when something happens. There are two kinds:
-
-- **Hooks** (this page): run inside the Gateway when agent events fire, like `/new`, `/reset`, `/stop`, or lifecycle events.
-- **Webhooks**: external HTTP webhooks that let other systems trigger work in OpenClaw. See [Webhook Hooks](/automation/webhook) or use `openclaw webhooks` for Gmail helper commands.
-
-Hooks can also be bundled inside plugins; see [Plugins](/plugin#plugin-hooks).
-
-Common uses:
-
-- Save a memory snapshot when you reset a session
-- Keep an audit trail of commands for troubleshooting or compliance
-- Trigger follow-up automation when a session starts or ends
-- Write files into the agent workspace or call external APIs when events fire
-
-If you can write a small TypeScript function, you can write a hook. Hooks are discovered automatically, and you enable or disable them via the CLI.
-
-## Overview
-
-The hooks system allows you to:
-
-- Save session context to memory when `/new` is issued
-- Log all commands for auditing
-- Trigger custom automations on agent lifecycle events
-- Extend OpenClaw's behavior without modifying core code
-
-## Getting Started
-
-### Bundled Hooks
-
-OpenClaw ships with four bundled hooks that are automatically discovered:
-
-- **💾 session-memory**: Saves session context to your agent workspace (default `~/.openclaw/workspace/memory/`) when you issue `/new`
-- **📝 command-logger**: Logs all command events to `~/.openclaw/logs/commands.log`
-- **🚀 boot-md**: Runs `BOOT.md` when the gateway starts (requires internal hooks enabled)
-- **😈 soul-evil**: Swaps injected `SOUL.md` content with `SOUL_EVIL.md` during a purge window or by random chance
-
-List available hooks:
-
-```bash
-openclaw hooks list
-```
-
-Enable a hook:
-
-```bash
-openclaw hooks enable session-memory
-```
-
-Check hook status:
-
-```bash
-openclaw hooks check
-```
-
-Get detailed information:
-
-```bash
-openclaw hooks info session-memory
-```
-
-### Onboarding
-
-During onboarding (`openclaw onboard`), you'll be prompted to enable recommended hooks. The wizard automatically discovers eligible hooks and presents them for selection.
-
-## Hook Discovery
-
-Hooks are automatically discovered from three directories (in order of precedence):
-
-1. **Workspace hooks**: `<workspace>/hooks/` (per-agent, highest precedence)
-2. **Managed hooks**: `~/.openclaw/hooks/` (user-installed, shared across workspaces)
-3. **Bundled hooks**: `<openclaw>/dist/hooks/bundled/` (shipped with OpenClaw)
-
-Managed hook directories can be either a **single hook** or a **hook pack** (package directory).
-
-Each hook is a directory containing:
-
-```
-my-hook/
-├── HOOK.md          # Metadata + documentation
-└── handler.ts       # Handler implementation
-```
-
-## Hook Packs (npm/archives)
-
-Hook packs are standard npm packages that export one or more hooks via `openclaw.hooks` in
-`package.json`. Install them with:
-
-```bash
-openclaw hooks install <path-or-spec>
-```
-
-Example `package.json`:
-
-```json
-{
-  "name": "@acme/my-hooks",
-  "version": "0.1.0",
-  "openclaw": {
-    "hooks": ["./hooks/my-hook", "./hooks/other-hook"]
-  }
-}
-```
-
-Each entry points to a hook directory containing `HOOK.md` and `handler.ts` (or `index.ts`).
-Hook packs can ship dependencies; they will be installed under `~/.openclaw/hooks/<id>`.
-
-## Hook Structure
-
-### HOOK.md Format
-
-The `HOOK.md` file contains metadata in YAML frontmatter plus Markdown documentation:
-
-```markdown
----
-name: my-hook
-description: "Short description of what this hook does"
-homepage: https://docs.openclaw.ai/hooks#my-hook
-metadata:
-  { "openclaw": { "emoji": "🔗", "events": ["command:new"], "requires": { "bins": ["node"] } } }
----
-
-# My Hook
-
-Detailed documentation goes here...
-
-## What It Does
-
-- Listens for `/new` commands
-- Performs some action
-- Logs the result
-
-## Requirements
-
-- Node.js must be installed
-
-## Configuration
-
-No configuration needed.
-```
-
-### Metadata Fields
-
-The `metadata.openclaw` object supports:
-
-- **`emoji`**: Display emoji for CLI (e.g., `"💾"`)
-- **`events`**: Array of events to listen for (e.g., `["command:new", "command:reset"]`)
-- **`export`**: Named export to use (defaults to `"default"`)
-- **`homepage`**: Documentation URL
-- **`requires`**: Optional requirements
-  - **`bins`**: Required binaries on PATH (e.g., `["git", "node"]`)
-  - **`anyBins`**: At least one of these binaries must be present
-  - **`env`**: Required environment variables
-  - **`config`**: Required config paths (e.g., `["workspace.dir"]`)
-  - **`os`**: Required platforms (e.g., `["darwin", "linux"]`)
-- **`always`**: Bypass eligibility checks (boolean)
-- **`install`**: Installation methods (for bundled hooks: `[{"id":"bundled","kind":"bundled"}]`)
-
-### Handler Implementation
-
-The `handler.ts` file exports a `HookHandler` function:
-
-```typescript
-import type { HookHandler } from "../../src/hooks/hooks.js";
-
-const myHandler: HookHandler = async (event) => {
-  // Only trigger on 'new' command
-  if (event.type !== "command" || event.action !== "new") {
-    return;
-  }
-
-  console.log(`[my-hook] New command triggered`);
-  console.log(`  Session: ${event.sessionKey}`);
-  console.log(`  Timestamp: ${event.timestamp.toISOString()}`);
-
-  // Your custom logic here
-
-  // Optionally send message to user
-  event.messages.push("✨ My hook executed!");
-};
-
-export default myHandler;
-```
-
-#### Event Context
-
-Each event includes:
-
-```typescript
-{
-  type: 'command' | 'session' | 'agent' | 'gateway',
-  action: string,              // e.g., 'new', 'reset', 'stop'
-  sessionKey: string,          // Session identifier
-  timestamp: Date,             // When the event occurred
-  messages: string[],          // Push messages here to send to user
-  context: {
-    sessionEntry?: SessionEntry,
-    sessionId?: string,
-    sessionFile?: string,
-    commandSource?: string,    // e.g., 'whatsapp', 'telegram'
-    senderId?: string,
-    workspaceDir?: string,
-    bootstrapFiles?: WorkspaceBootstrapFile[],
-    cfg?: OpenClawConfig
-  }
-}
-```
-
-## Event Types
-
-### Command Events
-
-Triggered when agent commands are issued:
-
-- **`command`**: All command events (general listener)
-- **`command:new`**: When `/new` command is issued
-- **`command:reset`**: When `/reset` command is issued
-- **`command:stop`**: When `/stop` command is issued
-
-### Agent Events
-
-- **`agent:bootstrap`**: Before workspace bootstrap files are injected (hooks may mutate `context.bootstrapFiles`)
-
-### Gateway Events
-
-Triggered when the gateway starts:
-
-- **`gateway:startup`**: After channels start and hooks are loaded
-
-### Tool Result Hooks (Plugin API)
-
-These hooks are not event-stream listeners; they let plugins synchronously adjust tool results before OpenClaw persists them.
-
-- **`tool_result_persist`**: transform tool results before they are written to the session transcript. Must be synchronous; return the updated tool result payload or `undefined` to keep it as-is. See [Agent Loop](/concepts/agent-loop).
-
-### Future Events
-
-Planned event types:
-
-- **`session:start`**: When a new session begins
-- **`session:end`**: When a session ends
-- **`agent:error`**: When an agent encounters an error
-- **`message:sent`**: When a message is sent
-- **`message:received`**: When a message is received
-
-## Creating Custom Hooks
-
-### 1. Choose Location
-
-- **Workspace hooks** (`<workspace>/hooks/`): Per-agent, highest precedence
-- **Managed hooks** (`~/.openclaw/hooks/`): Shared across workspaces
-
-### 2. Create Directory Structure
-
-```bash
-mkdir -p ~/.openclaw/hooks/my-hook
-cd ~/.openclaw/hooks/my-hook
-```
-
-### 3. Create HOOK.md
-
-```markdown
----
-name: my-hook
-description: "Does something useful"
-metadata: { "openclaw": { "emoji": "🎯", "events": ["command:new"] } }
----
-
-# My Custom Hook
-
-This hook does something useful when you issue `/new`.
-```
-
-### 4. Create handler.ts
-
-```typescript
-import type { HookHandler } from "../../src/hooks/hooks.js";
-
-const handler: HookHandler = async (event) => {
-  if (event.type !== "command" || event.action !== "new") {
-    return;
-  }
-
-  console.log("[my-hook] Running!");
-  // Your logic here
-};
-
-export default handler;
-```
-
-### 5. Enable and Test
-
-```bash
-# Verify hook is discovered
-openclaw hooks list
-
-# Enable it
-openclaw hooks enable my-hook
-
-# Restart your gateway process (menu bar app restart on macOS, or restart your dev process)
-
-# Trigger the event
-# Send /new via your messaging channel
-```
-
-## Configuration
-
-### New Config Format (Recommended)
-
-```json
-{
-  "hooks": {
-    "internal": {
-      "enabled": true,
-      "entries": {
-        "session-memory": { "enabled": true },
-        "command-logger": { "enabled": false }
-      }
-    }
-  }
-}
-```
-
-### Per-Hook Configuration
-
-Hooks can have custom configuration:
-
-```json
-{
-  "hooks": {
-    "internal": {
-      "enabled": true,
-      "entries": {
-        "my-hook": {
-          "enabled": true,
-          "env": {
-            "MY_CUSTOM_VAR": "value"
-          }
-        }
-      }
-    }
-  }
-}
-```
-
-### Extra Directories
-
-Load hooks from additional directories:
-
-```json
-{
-  "hooks": {
-    "internal": {
-      "enabled": true,
-      "load": {
-        "extraDirs": ["/path/to/more/hooks"]
-      }
-    }
-  }
-}
-```
-
-### Legacy Config Format (Still Supported)
-
-The old config format still works for backwards compatibility:
-
-```json
-{
-  "hooks": {
-    "internal": {
-      "enabled": true,
-      "handlers": [
-        {
-          "event": "command:new",
-          "module": "./hooks/handlers/my-handler.ts",
-          "export": "default"
-        }
-      ]
-    }
-  }
-}
-```
-
-**Migration**: Use the new discovery-based system for new hooks. Legacy handlers are loaded after directory-based hooks.
-

-
-## Bundled Hooks
-
-### session-memory
-
-Saves session context to memory when you issue `/new`.
-
-**Events**: `command:new`
-
-**Requirements**: `workspace.dir` must be configured
-
-**Output**: `<workspace>/memory/YYYY-MM-DD-slug.md` (defaults to `~/.openclaw/workspace`)
-
-**What it does**:
-
-1. Uses the pre-reset session entry to locate the correct transcript
-2. Extracts the last 15 lines of conversation
-3. Uses LLM to generate a descriptive filename slug
-4. Saves session metadata to a dated memory file
-
-**Example output**:
-
-```markdown
-# Session: 2026-01-16 14:30:00 UTC
-
-- **Session Key**: agent:main:main
-- **Session ID**: abc123def456
-- **Source**: telegram
-```
-
-**Filename examples**:
-
-- `2026-01-16-vendor-pitch.md`
-- `2026-01-16-api-design.md`
-- `2026-01-16-1430.md` (fallback timestamp if slug generation fails)
-
-**Enable**:
-
-```bash
-openclaw hooks enable session-memory
-```
-
-### command-logger
-
-Logs all command events to a centralized audit file.
-
-**Events**: `command`
-
-**Requirements**: None
-
-**Output**: `~/.openclaw/logs/commands.log`
-
-**What it does**:
-
-1. Captures event details (command action, timestamp, session key, sender ID, source)
-2. Appends to log file in JSONL format
-3. Runs silently in the background
-
-**Example log entries**:
-
-```jsonl
-{"timestamp":"2026-01-16T14:30:00.000Z","action":"new","sessionKey":"agent:main:main","senderId":"+1234567890","source":"telegram"}
-{"timestamp":"2026-01-16T15:45:22.000Z","action":"stop","sessionKey":"agent:main:main","senderId":"user@example.com","source":"whatsapp"}
-```
-
-**View logs**:
-
-```bash
-# View recent commands
-tail -n 20 ~/.openclaw/logs/commands.log
-
-# Pretty-print with jq
-cat ~/.openclaw/logs/commands.log | jq .
-
-# Filter by action
-grep '"action":"new"' ~/.openclaw/logs/commands.log | jq .
-```
-
-**Enable**:
-
-```bash
-openclaw hooks enable command-logger
-```

-1. Reads `BOOT.md` from your workspace
-2. Runs the instructions via the agent runner
-3. Sends any requested outbound messages via the message tool
-
-**Enable**:
-
-```bash
-openclaw hooks enable boot-md
-```
-
-## Best Practices
-
-### Keep Handlers Fast
-
-Hooks run during command processing. Keep them lightweight:
-
-```typescript
-// ✓ Good - async work, returns immediately
-const handler: HookHandler = async (event) => {
-  void processInBackground(event); // Fire and forget
-};
-
-// ✗ Bad - blocks command processing
-const handler: HookHandler = async (event) => {
-  await slowDatabaseQuery(event);
-  await evenSlowerAPICall(event);
-};
-```
-
-### Handle Errors Gracefully
-
-Always wrap risky operations:
-
-```typescript
-const handler: HookHandler = async (event) => {
-  try {
-    await riskyOperation(event);
-  } catch (err) {
-    console.error("[my-handler] Failed:", err instanceof Error ? err.message : String(err));
-    // Don't throw - let other handlers run
-  }
-};
-```
-
-### Filter Events Early
-
-Return early if the event isn't relevant:
-
-```typescript
-const handler: HookHandler = async (event) => {
-  // Only handle 'new' commands
-  if (event.type !== "command" || event.action !== "new") {
-    return;
-  }
-
-  // Your logic here
-};
-```
-
-### Use Specific Event Keys
-
-Specify exact events in metadata when possible:
-
-```yaml
-metadata: { "openclaw": { "events": ["command:new"] } } # Specific
-```
-
-Rather than:
-
-```yaml
-metadata: { "openclaw": { "events": ["command"] } } # General - more overhead
-```
-
-## Debugging
-
-### Enable Hook Logging
-
-The gateway logs hook loading at startup:
-
-```
-Registered hook: session-memory -> command:new
-Registered hook: command-logger -> command
-Registered hook: boot-md -> gateway:startup
-```
-
-### Check Discovery
-
-List all discovered hooks:
-
-```bash
-openclaw hooks list --verbose
-```
-
-### Check Registration
-
-In your handler, log when it's called:
-
-```typescript
-const handler: HookHandler = async (event) => {
-  console.log("[my-handler] Triggered:", event.type, event.action);
-  // Your logic
-};
-```
-
-### Verify Eligibility
-
-Check why a hook isn't eligible:
-
-```bash
-openclaw hooks info my-hook
-```
-
-Look for missing requirements in the output.
-
-## Testing
-
-### Gateway Logs
-
-Monitor gateway logs to see hook execution:
-
-```bash
-# macOS
-./scripts/clawlog.sh -f
-
-# Other platforms
-tail -f ~/.openclaw/gateway.log
-```
-
-### Test Hooks Directly
-
-Test your handlers in isolation:
-
-```typescript
-import { test } from "vitest";
-import { createHookEvent } from "./src/hooks/hooks.js";
-import myHandler from "./hooks/my-hook/handler.js";
-
-test("my handler works", async () => {
-  const event = createHookEvent("command", "new", "test-session", {
-    foo: "bar",
-  });
-
-  await myHandler(event);
-
-  // Assert side effects
-});
-```
-
-## Architecture
-
-### Core Components
-
-- **`src/hooks/types.ts`**: Type definitions
-- **`src/hooks/workspace.ts`**: Directory scanning and loading
-- **`src/hooks/frontmatter.ts`**: HOOK.md metadata parsing
-- **`src/hooks/config.ts`**: Eligibility checking
-- **`src/hooks/hooks-status.ts`**: Status reporting
-- **`src/hooks/loader.ts`**: Dynamic module loader
-- **`src/cli/hooks-cli.ts`**: CLI commands
-- **`src/gateway/server-startup.ts`**: Loads hooks at gateway start
-- **`src/auto-reply/reply/commands-core.ts`**: Triggers command events
-
-### Discovery Flow
-
-```
-Gateway startup
-    ↓
-Scan directories (workspace → managed → bundled)
-    ↓
-Parse HOOK.md files
-    ↓
-Check eligibility (bins, env, config, os)
-    ↓
-Load handlers from eligible hooks
-    ↓
-Register handlers for events
-```
-
-### Event Flow
-
-```
-User sends /new
-    ↓
-Command validation
-    ↓
-Create hook event
-    ↓
-Trigger hook (all registered handlers)
-    ↓
-Command processing continues
-    ↓
-Session reset
-```
-
-## Troubleshooting
-
-### Hook Not Discovered
-
-1. Check directory structure:
-
-   ```bash
-   ls -la ~/.openclaw/hooks/my-hook/
-   # Should show: HOOK.md, handler.ts
-   ```
-
-2. Verify HOOK.md format:
-
-   ```bash
-   cat ~/.openclaw/hooks/my-hook/HOOK.md
-   # Should have YAML frontmatter with name and metadata
-   ```
-
-3. List all discovered hooks:
-   ```bash
-   openclaw hooks list
-   ```
-
-### Hook Not Eligible
-
-Check requirements:
-
-```bash
-openclaw hooks info my-hook
-```
-
-Look for missing:
-
-- Binaries (check PATH)
-- Environment variables
-- Config values
-- OS compatibility
-
-### Hook Not Executing
-
-1. Verify hook is enabled:
-
-   ```bash
-   openclaw hooks list
-   # Should show ✓ next to enabled hooks
-   ```
-
-2. Restart your gateway process so hooks reload.
-
-3. Check gateway logs for errors:
-   ```bash
-   ./scripts/clawlog.sh | grep hook
-   ```
-
-### Handler Errors
-
-Check for TypeScript/import errors:
-
-```bash
-# Test import directly
-node -e "import('./path/to/handler.ts').then(console.log)"
-```
-
-## Migration Guide
-
-### From Legacy Config to Discovery
-
-**Before**:
-
-```json
-{
-  "hooks": {
-    "internal": {
-      "enabled": true,
-      "handlers": [
-        {
-          "event": "command:new",
-          "module": "./hooks/handlers/my-handler.ts"
-        }
-      ]
-    }
-  }
-}
-```
-
-**After**:
-
-1. Create hook directory:
-
-   ```bash
-   mkdir -p ~/.openclaw/hooks/my-hook
-   mv ./hooks/handlers/my-handler.ts ~/.openclaw/hooks/my-hook/handler.ts
-   ```
-
-2. Create HOOK.md:
-
-   ```markdown
-   ---
-   name: my-hook
-   description: "My custom hook"
-   metadata: { "openclaw": { "emoji": "🎯", "events": ["command:new"] } }
-   ---
-
-   # My Hook
-
-   Does something useful.
-   ```
-
-3. Update config:
-
-   ```json
-   {
-     "hooks": {
-       "internal": {
-         "enabled": true,
-         "entries": {
-           "my-hook": { "enabled": true }
-         }
-       }
-     }
-   }
-   ```
-
-4. Verify and restart your gateway process:
-   ```bash
-   openclaw hooks list
-   # Should show: 🎯 my-hook ✓
-   ```
-
-**Benefits of migration**:
-
-- Automatic discovery
-- CLI management
-- Eligibility checking
-- Better documentation
-- Consistent structure

-# SOUL Evil Hook
-
-The SOUL Evil hook swaps the **injected** `SOUL.md` content with `SOUL_EVIL.md` during
-a purge window or by random chance. It does **not** modify files on disk.
-
-## How It Works
-
-When `agent:bootstrap` runs, the hook can replace the `SOUL.md` content in memory
-before the system prompt is assembled. If `SOUL_EVIL.md` is missing or empty,
-OpenClaw logs a warning and keeps the normal `SOUL.md`.
-
-Sub-agent runs do **not** include `SOUL.md` in their bootstrap files, so this hook
-has no effect on sub-agents.
-
-## Enable
-
-```bash
-openclaw hooks enable soul-evil
-```
-
-Then set the config:
-
-```json
-{
-  "hooks": {
-    "internal": {
-      "enabled": true,
-      "entries": {
-        "soul-evil": {
-          "enabled": true,
-          "file": "SOUL_EVIL.md",
-          "chance": 0.1,
-          "purge": { "at": "21:00", "duration": "15m" }
-        }
-      }
-    }
-  }
-}
-```
-
-Create `SOUL_EVIL.md` in the agent workspace root (next to `SOUL.md`).
-
-## Options
-
-- `file` (string): alternate SOUL filename (default: `SOUL_EVIL.md`)
-- `chance` (number 0–1): random chance per run to use `SOUL_EVIL.md`
-- `purge.at` (HH:mm): daily purge start (24-hour clock)
-- `purge.duration` (duration): window length (e.g. `30s`, `10m`, `1h`)
-
-**Precedence:** purge window wins over chance.
-
-**Timezone:** uses `agents.defaults.userTimezone` when set; otherwise host timezone.
-
-## Notes
-
-- No files are written or modified on disk.
-- If `SOUL.md` is not in the bootstrap list, the hook does nothing.

-OpenClaw connects chat apps to coding agents like Pi through a single Gateway process. It powers the OpenClaw assistant and supports local or remote setups.
+## What is OpenClaw?
+
+OpenClaw is a **self-hosted gateway** that connects your favorite chat apps — WhatsApp, Telegram, Discord, iMessage, and more — to AI coding agents like Pi. You run a single Gateway process on your own machine (or a server), and it becomes the bridge between your messaging apps and an always-available AI assistant.
+
+**Who is it for?** Developers and power users who want a personal AI assistant they can message from anywhere — without giving up control of their data or relying on a hosted service.
+
+**What makes it different?**
+
+- **Self-hosted**: runs on your hardware, your rules
+- **Multi-channel**: one Gateway serves WhatsApp, Telegram, Discord, and more simultaneously
+- **Agent-native**: built for coding agents with tool use, sessions, memory, and multi-agent routing
+- **Open source**: MIT licensed, community-driven
+
+**What do you need?** Node 22+, an API key (Anthropic recommended), and 5 minutes.

-## Choose your install path
-
-### 1) Installer script (recommended)
-
-Installs `openclaw` globally via npm and runs onboarding.
-
-```bash
-curl -fsSL https://openclaw.ai/install.sh | bash
-```
-
-Installer flags:
-
-```bash
-curl -fsSL https://openclaw.ai/install.sh | bash -s -- --help
-```
-
-Details: [Installer internals](/install/installer).
-
-Non-interactive (skip onboarding):
-
-```bash
-curl -fsSL https://openclaw.ai/install.sh | bash -s -- --no-onboard
-```
-
-### 2) Global install (manual)
-
-If you already have Node:
-
-```bash
-npm install -g openclaw@latest
-```
-
-If you have libvips installed globally (common on macOS via Homebrew) and `sharp` fails to install, force prebuilt binaries:
-
-```bash
-SHARP_IGNORE_GLOBAL_LIBVIPS=1 npm install -g openclaw@latest
-```
-
-If you see `sharp: Please add node-gyp to your dependencies`, either install build tooling (macOS: Xcode CLT + `npm install -g node-gyp`) or use the `SHARP_IGNORE_GLOBAL_LIBVIPS=1` workaround above to skip the native build.
-
-Or with pnpm:
-
-```bash
-pnpm add -g openclaw@latest
-pnpm approve-builds -g                # approve openclaw, node-llama-cpp, sharp, etc.
-```
-
-pnpm requires explicit approval for packages with build scripts. After the first install shows the "Ignored build scripts" warning, run `pnpm approve-builds -g` and select the listed packages.
-
-Then:
-
-```bash
-openclaw onboard --install-daemon
-```
-
-### 3) From source (contributors/dev)
-
-```bash
-git clone https://github.com/openclaw/openclaw.git
-cd openclaw
-pnpm install
-pnpm ui:build # auto-installs UI deps on first run
-pnpm build
-openclaw onboard --install-daemon
-```
-
-Tip: if you don’t have a global install yet, run repo commands via `pnpm openclaw ...`.

 ## After install
 
-- Run onboarding: `openclaw onboard --install-daemon`
-- Quick check: `openclaw doctor`
-- Check gateway health: `openclaw status` + `openclaw health`
-- Open the dashboard: `openclaw dashboard`
-
-## Install method: npm vs git (installer)
-
-The installer supports two methods:
-
-- `npm` (default): `npm install -g openclaw@latest`
-- `git`: clone/build from GitHub and run from a source checkout
-
-### CLI flags
+Verify everything is working:
 
 ```bash
-# Explicit npm
-curl -fsSL https://openclaw.ai/install.sh | bash -s -- --install-method npm
-
-# Install from GitHub (source checkout)
-curl -fsSL https://openclaw.ai/install.sh | bash -s -- --install-method git
+openclaw doctor         # check for config issues
+openclaw status         # gateway status
+openclaw dashboard      # open the browser UI
 ```
 
-Common flags:
-
-- `--install-method npm|git`
-- `--git-dir <path>` (default: `~/openclaw`)
-- `--no-git-update` (skip `git pull` when using an existing checkout)
-- `--no-prompt` (disable prompts; required in CI/automation)
-- `--dry-run` (print what would happen; make no changes)
-- `--no-onboard` (skip onboarding)
-
-### Environment variables
+If you need custom runtime paths, use:
 
-Equivalent env vars (useful for automation):
+- `OPENCLAW_HOME` for home-directory based internal paths
+- `OPENCLAW_STATE_DIR` for mutable state location
+- `OPENCLAW_CONFIG_PATH` for config file location
 
-- `OPENCLAW_INSTALL_METHOD=git|npm`
-- `OPENCLAW_GIT_DIR=...`
-- `OPENCLAW_GIT_UPDATE=0|1`
-- `OPENCLAW_NO_PROMPT=1`
-- `OPENCLAW_DRY_RUN=1`
-- `OPENCLAW_NO_ONBOARD=1`
-- `SHARP_IGNORE_GLOBAL_LIBVIPS=0|1` (default: `1`; avoids `sharp` building against system libvips)
+See [Environment vars](/help/environment) for precedence and full details.

-
-### Discoverability / “git install” prompt
-
-If you run the installer while **already inside a OpenClaw source checkout** (detected via `package.json` + `pnpm-workspace.yaml`), it prompts:
-
-- update and use this checkout (`git`)
-- or migrate to the global npm install (`npm`)
-
-In non-interactive contexts (no TTY / `--no-prompt`), you must pass `--install-method git|npm` (or set `OPENCLAW_INSTALL_METHOD`), otherwise the script exits with code `2`.
-
-### Why Git is needed
-
-Git is required for the `--install-method git` path (clone / pull).
-
-For `npm` installs, Git is _usually_ not required, but some environments still end up needing it (e.g. when a package or dependency is fetched via a git URL). The installer currently ensures Git is present to avoid `spawn git ENOENT` surprises on fresh distros.
-
-### Why npm hits `EACCES` on fresh Linux
+---
 
-On some Linux setups (especially after installing Node via the system package manager or NodeSource), npm's global prefix points at a root-owned location. Then `npm install -g ...` fails with `EACCES` / `mkdir` permission errors.

-# Node.js + npm (PATH sanity)
+# Node.js
 
-OpenClaw’s runtime baseline is **Node 22+**.
+OpenClaw requires **Node 22 or newer**. The [installer script](/install#install-methods) will detect and install Node automatically — this page is for when you want to set up Node yourself and make sure everything is wired up correctly (versions, PATH, global installs).
 
-If you can run `npm install -g openclaw@latest` but later see `openclaw: command not found`, it’s almost always a **PATH** issue: the directory where npm puts global binaries isn’t on your shell’s PATH.
-
-## Quick diagnosis
-
-Run:
+## Check your version
 
 ```bash
 node -v
-npm -v
-npm prefix -g
-echo "$PATH"
 ```
 
-If `$(npm prefix -g)/bin` (macOS/Linux) or `$(npm prefix -g)` (Windows) is **not** present inside `echo "$PATH"`, your shell can’t find global npm binaries (including `openclaw`).
+If this prints `v22.x.x` or higher, you're good. If Node isn't installed or the version is too old, pick an install method below.
 
-## Fix: put npm’s global bin dir on PATH
+## Install Node
 
-1. Find your global npm prefix:
+<Tabs>
+  <Tab title="macOS">
+    **Homebrew** (recommended):
 
-```bash
-npm prefix -g
-```
+    ```bash
+    brew install node
+    ```
 
-2. Add the global npm bin directory to your shell startup file:
+    Or download the macOS installer from [nodejs.org](https://nodejs.org/).
 
-- zsh: `~/.zshrc`
-- bash: `~/.bashrc`
+  </Tab>
+  <Tab title="Linux">
+    **Ubuntu / Debian:**
 
-Example (replace the path with your `npm prefix -g` output):
+    ```bash
+    curl -fsSL https://deb.nodesource.com/setup_22.x | sudo -E bash -
+    sudo apt-get install -y nodejs
+    ```
 
-```bash
-# macOS / Linux
-export PATH="/path/from/npm/prefix/bin:$PATH"
-```
+    **Fedora / RHEL:**
+
+    ```bash
+    sudo dnf install nodejs
+    ```
 
-Then open a **new terminal** (or run `rehash` in zsh / `hash -r` in bash).
+    Or use a version manager (see below).
 
-On Windows, add the output of `npm prefix -g` to your PATH.
+  </Tab>
+  <Tab title="Windows">
+    **winget** (recommended):
 
-## Fix: avoid `sudo npm install -g` / permission errors (Linux)
+    ```powershell
+    winget install OpenJS.NodeJS.LTS
+    ```
 
-If `npm install -g ...` fails with `EACCES`, switch npm’s global prefix to a user-writable directory:
+    **Chocolatey:**
+
+    ```powershell
+    choco install nodejs-lts
+    ```
+
+    Or download the Windows installer from [nodejs.org](https://nodejs.org/).
+
+  </Tab>

+
+<Accordion title="Using a version manager (nvm, fnm, mise, asdf)">
+  Version managers let you switch between Node versions easily. Popular options:
+
+- [**fnm**](https://github.com/Schniz/fnm) — fast, cross-platform
+- [**nvm**](https://github.com/nvm-sh/nvm) — widely used on macOS/Linux
+- [**mise**](https://mise.jdx.dev/) — polyglot (Node, Python, Ruby, etc.)
+
+Example with fnm:
 
 ```bash
-mkdir -p "$HOME/.npm-global"
-npm config set prefix "$HOME/.npm-global"
-export PATH="$HOME/.npm-global/bin:$PATH"
+fnm install 22
+fnm use 22
 ```
 
-Persist the `export PATH=...` line in your shell startup file.
+  <Warning>
+  Make sure your version manager is initialized in your shell startup file (`~/.zshrc` or `~/.bashrc`). If it isn't, `openclaw` may not be found in new terminal sessions because the PATH won't include Node's bin directory.
+  </Warning>
+</Accordion>
+
+## Troubleshooting
+
+### `openclaw: command not found`
+
+This almost always means npm's global bin directory isn't on your PATH.
+
+<Steps>
+  <Step title="Find your global npm prefix">
+    ```bash
+    npm prefix -g
+    ```
+  </Step>
+  <Step title="Check if it's on your PATH">
+    ```bash
+    echo "$PATH"
+    ```
+
+    Look for `<npm-prefix>/bin` (macOS/Linux) or `<npm-prefix>` (Windows) in the output.

+      <Tab title="macOS / Linux">
+        Add to `~/.zshrc` or `~/.bashrc`:

+        ```bash
+        export PATH="$(npm prefix -g)/bin:$PATH"
+        ```
 
-- keeps Node updated (22+)

-Common choices:
+  </Step>
+</Steps>
 
-- macOS: Homebrew (`brew install node`) or a version manager
-- Linux: your preferred version manager, or a distro-supported install that provides Node 22+
-- Windows: official Node installer, `winget`, or a Windows Node version manager
+### Permission errors on `npm install -g` (Linux)
+
+If you see `EACCES` errors, switch npm's global prefix to a user-writable directory:
+
+```bash
+mkdir -p "$HOME/.npm-global"
+npm config set prefix "$HOME/.npm-global"
+export PATH="$HOME/.npm-global/bin:$PATH"
+```
 
-If you use a version manager (nvm/fnm/asdf/etc), ensure it’s initialized in the shell you use day-to-day (zsh vs bash) so the PATH it sets is present when you run installers.
+Add the `export PATH=...` line to your `~/.bashrc` or `~/.zshrc` to make it permanent.

+read_when:
+  - You want a containerized gateway with Podman instead of Docker
+title: "Podman"
+---
+
+# Podman
+
+Run the OpenClaw gateway in a **rootless** Podman container. Uses the same image as Docker (build from the repo [Dockerfile](https://github.com/openclaw/openclaw/blob/main/Dockerfile)).
+
+## Requirements
+
+- Podman (rootless)
+- Sudo for one-time setup (create user, build image)
+
+## Quick start
+
+**1. One-time setup** (from repo root; creates user, builds image, installs launch script):
+
+```bash
+./setup-podman.sh
+```
+
+This also creates a minimal `~openclaw/.openclaw/openclaw.json` (sets `gateway.mode="local"`) so the gateway can start without running the wizard.
+
+By default the container is **not** installed as a systemd service, you start it manually (see below). For a production-style setup with auto-start and restarts, install it as a systemd Quadlet user service instead:
+
+```bash
+./setup-podman.sh --quadlet
+```
+
+(Or set `OPENCLAW_PODMAN_QUADLET=1`; use `--container` to install only the container and launch script.)
+
+**2. Start gateway** (manual, for quick smoke testing):
+
+```bash
+./scripts/run-openclaw-podman.sh launch
+```
+
+**3. Onboarding wizard** (e.g. to add channels or providers):
+
+```bash
+./scripts/run-openclaw-podman.sh launch setup
+```
+
+Then open `http://127.0.0.1:18789/` and use the token from `~openclaw/.openclaw/.env` (or the value printed by setup).
+
+## Systemd (Quadlet, optional)
+
+If you ran `./setup-podman.sh --quadlet` (or `OPENCLAW_PODMAN_QUADLET=1`), a [Podman Quadlet](https://docs.podman.io/en/latest/markdown/podman-systemd.unit.5.html) unit is installed so the gateway runs as a systemd user service for the openclaw user. The service is enabled and started at the end of setup.
+
+- **Start:** `sudo systemctl --machine openclaw@ --user start openclaw.service`
+- **Stop:** `sudo systemctl --machine openclaw@ --user stop openclaw.service`
+- **Status:** `sudo systemctl --machine openclaw@ --user status openclaw.service`
+- **Logs:** `sudo journalctl --machine openclaw@ --user -u openclaw.service -f`
+
+The quadlet file lives at `~openclaw/.config/containers/systemd/openclaw.container`. To change ports or env, edit that file (or the `.env` it sources), then `sudo systemctl --machine openclaw@ --user daemon-reload` and restart the service. On boot, the service starts automatically if lingering is enabled for openclaw (setup does this when loginctl is available).
+
+To add quadlet **after** an initial setup that did not use it, re-run: `./setup-podman.sh --quadlet`.
+
+## The openclaw user (non-login)
+
+`setup-podman.sh` creates a dedicated system user `openclaw`:
+
+- **Shell:** `nologin` — no interactive login; reduces attack surface.
+- **Home:** e.g. `/home/openclaw` — holds `~/.openclaw` (config, workspace) and the launch script `run-openclaw-podman.sh`.
+- **Rootless Podman:** The user must have a **subuid** and **subgid** range. Many distros assign these automatically when the user is created. If setup prints a warning, add lines to `/etc/subuid` and `/etc/subgid`:
+
+  ```text
+  openclaw:100000:65536
+  ```
+
+  Then start the gateway as that user (e.g. from cron or systemd):
+
+  ```bash
+  sudo -u openclaw /home/openclaw/run-openclaw-podman.sh
+  sudo -u openclaw /home/openclaw/run-openclaw-podman.sh setup
+  ```
+
+- **Config:** Only `openclaw` and root can access `/home/openclaw/.openclaw`. To edit config: use the Control UI once the gateway is running, or `sudo -u openclaw $EDITOR /home/openclaw/.openclaw/openclaw.json`.
+
+## Environment and config
+
+- **Token:** Stored in `~openclaw/.openclaw/.env` as `OPENCLAW_GATEWAY_TOKEN`. `setup-podman.sh` and `run-openclaw-podman.sh` generate it if missing (uses `openssl`, `python3`, or `od`).
+- **Optional:** In that `.env` you can set provider keys (e.g. `GROQ_API_KEY`, `OLLAMA_API_KEY`) and other OpenClaw env vars.
+- **Host ports:** By default the script maps `18789` (gateway) and `18790` (bridge). Override the **host** port mapping with `OPENCLAW_PODMAN_GATEWAY_HOST_PORT` and `OPENCLAW_PODMAN_BRIDGE_HOST_PORT` when launching.
+- **Paths:** Host config and workspace default to `~openclaw/.openclaw` and `~openclaw/.openclaw/workspace`. Override the host paths used by the launch script with `OPENCLAW_CONFIG_DIR` and `OPENCLAW_WORKSPACE_DIR`.
+
+## Useful commands
+
+- **Logs:** With quadlet: `sudo journalctl --machine openclaw@ --user -u openclaw.service -f`. With script: `sudo -u openclaw podman logs -f openclaw`
+- **Stop:** With quadlet: `sudo systemctl --machine openclaw@ --user stop openclaw.service`. With script: `sudo -u openclaw podman stop openclaw`
+- **Start again:** With quadlet: `sudo systemctl --machine openclaw@ --user start openclaw.service`. With script: re-run the launch script or `podman start openclaw`
+- **Remove container:** `sudo -u openclaw podman rm -f openclaw` — config and workspace on the host are kept
+
+## Troubleshooting
+
+- **Permission denied (EACCES) on config or auth-profiles:** The container defaults to `--userns=keep-id` and runs as the same uid/gid as the host user running the script. Ensure your host `OPENCLAW_CONFIG_DIR` and `OPENCLAW_WORKSPACE_DIR` are owned by that user.
+- **Gateway start blocked (missing `gateway.mode=local`):** Ensure `~openclaw/.openclaw/openclaw.json` exists and sets `gateway.mode="local"`. `setup-podman.sh` creates this file if missing.
+- **Rootless Podman fails for user openclaw:** Check `/etc/subuid` and `/etc/subgid` contain a line for `openclaw` (e.g. `openclaw:100000:65536`). Add it if missing and restart.
+- **Container name in use:** The launch script uses `podman run --replace`, so the existing container is replaced when you start again. To clean up manually: `podman rm -f openclaw`.
+- **Script not found when running as openclaw:** Ensure `setup-podman.sh` was run so that `run-openclaw-podman.sh` is copied to openclaw’s home (e.g. `/home/openclaw/run-openclaw-podman.sh`).
+- **Quadlet service not found or fails to start:** Run `sudo systemctl --machine openclaw@ --user daemon-reload` after editing the `.container` file. Quadlet requires cgroups v2: `podman info --format '{{.Host.CgroupsVersion}}'` should show `2`.
+
+## Optional: run as your own user
+
+To run the gateway as your normal user (no dedicated openclaw user): build the image, create `~/.openclaw/.env` with `OPENCLAW_GATEWAY_TOKEN`, and run the container with `--userns=keep-id` and mounts to your `~/.openclaw`. The launch script is designed for the openclaw-user flow; for a single-user setup you can instead run the `podman run` command from the script manually, pointing config and workspace to your home. Recommended for most users: use `setup-podman.sh` and run as the openclaw user so config and process are isolated.

+## Read When
+
+- Maintaining `docs/ja-JP/**`
+- Updating the Japanese translation pipeline (glossary/TM/prompt)
+- Handling Japanese translation feedback or regressions
+
+## Pipeline (docs-i18n)
+
+- Source docs: `docs/**/*.md`
+- Target docs: `docs/ja-JP/**/*.md`
+- Glossary: `docs/.i18n/glossary.ja-JP.json`
+- Translation memory: `docs/.i18n/ja-JP.tm.jsonl`
+- Prompt rules: `scripts/docs-i18n/prompt.go`
+
+Common runs:
+
+```bash
+# Bulk (doc mode; parallel OK)
+cd scripts/docs-i18n
+go run . -docs ../../docs -lang ja-JP -mode doc -parallel 6 ../../docs/**/*.md
+
+# Single file
+cd scripts/docs-i18n
+go run . -docs ../../docs -lang ja-JP -mode doc ../../docs/start/getting-started.md
+
+# Small patches (segment mode; uses TM; no parallel)
+cd scripts/docs-i18n
+go run . -docs ../../docs -lang ja-JP -mode segment ../../docs/start/getting-started.md
+```
+
+Notes:
+
+- Prefer `doc` mode for whole-page translation; `segment` mode for small fixes.
+- If a very large file times out, do targeted edits or split the page before rerunning.
+- After translation, spot-check: code spans/blocks unchanged, links/anchors unchanged, placeholders preserved.

-# Multi-Agent Sandbox & Tools Configuration
-
-## Overview
-
-Each agent in a multi-agent setup can now have its own:
-
-- **Sandbox configuration** (`agents.list[].sandbox` overrides `agents.defaults.sandbox`)
-- **Tool restrictions** (`tools.allow` / `tools.deny`, plus `agents.list[].tools`)
-
-This allows you to run multiple agents with different security profiles:
-
-- Personal assistant with full access
-- Family/work agents with restricted tools
-- Public-facing agents in sandboxes
-
-`setupCommand` belongs under `sandbox.docker` (global or per-agent) and runs once
-when the container is created.
-
-Auth is per-agent: each agent reads from its own `agentDir` auth store at:
-
-```
-~/.openclaw/agents/<agentId>/agent/auth-profiles.json
-```
-
-Credentials are **not** shared between agents. Never reuse `agentDir` across agents.
-If you want to share creds, copy `auth-profiles.json` into the other agent's `agentDir`.
-
-For how sandboxing behaves at runtime, see [Sandboxing](/gateway/sandboxing).
-For debugging “why is this blocked?”, see [Sandbox vs Tool Policy vs Elevated](/gateway/sandbox-vs-tool-policy-vs-elevated) and `openclaw sandbox explain`.

-
-## Configuration Examples
-
-### Example 1: Personal + Restricted Family Agent
-
-```json
-{
-  "agents": {
-    "list": [
-      {
-        "id": "main",
-        "default": true,
-        "name": "Personal Assistant",
-        "workspace": "~/.openclaw/workspace",
-        "sandbox": { "mode": "off" }
-      },
-      {
-        "id": "family",
-        "name": "Family Bot",
-        "workspace": "~/.openclaw/workspace-family",
-        "sandbox": {
-          "mode": "all",
-          "scope": "agent"
-        },
-        "tools": {
-          "allow": ["read"],
-          "deny": ["exec", "write", "edit", "apply_patch", "process", "browser"]
-        }
-      }
-    ]
-  },
-  "bindings": [
-    {
-      "agentId": "family",
-      "match": {
-        "provider": "whatsapp",
-        "accountId": "*",
-        "peer": {
-          "kind": "group",
-          "id": "120363424282127706@g.us"
-        }
-      }
-    }
-  ]
-}
-```
-
-**Result:**
-
-- `main` agent: Runs on host, full tool access
-- `family` agent: Runs in Docker (one container per agent), only `read` tool
-
----
-
-### Example 2: Work Agent with Shared Sandbox
-
-```json
-{
-  "agents": {
-    "list": [
-      {
-        "id": "personal",
-        "workspace": "~/.openclaw/workspace-personal",
-        "sandbox": { "mode": "off" }
-      },
-      {
-        "id": "work",
-        "workspace": "~/.openclaw/workspace-work",
-        "sandbox": {
-          "mode": "all",
-          "scope": "shared",
-          "workspaceRoot": "/tmp/work-sandboxes"
-        },
-        "tools": {
-          "allow": ["read", "write", "apply_patch", "exec"],
-          "deny": ["browser", "gateway", "discord"]
-        }
-      }
-    ]
-  }
-}
-```
-
----
-
-### Example 2b: Global coding profile + messaging-only agent
-
-```json
-{
-  "tools": { "profile": "coding" },
-  "agents": {
-    "list": [
-      {
-        "id": "support",
-        "tools": { "profile": "messaging", "allow": ["slack"] }
-      }
-    ]
-  }
-}
-```
-
-**Result:**
-
-- default agents get coding tools
-- `support` agent is messaging-only (+ Slack tool)
-
----
-
-### Example 3: Different Sandbox Modes per Agent
-
-```json
-{
-  "agents": {
-    "defaults": {
-      "sandbox": {
-        "mode": "non-main", // Global default
-        "scope": "session"
-      }
-    },
-    "list": [
-      {
-        "id": "main",
-        "workspace": "~/.openclaw/workspace",
-        "sandbox": {
-          "mode": "off" // Override: main never sandboxed
-        }
-      },
-      {
-        "id": "public",
-        "workspace": "~/.openclaw/workspace-public",
-        "sandbox": {
-          "mode": "all", // Override: public always sandboxed
-          "scope": "agent"
-        },
-        "tools": {
-          "allow": ["read"],
-          "deny": ["exec", "write", "edit", "apply_patch"]
-        }
-      }
-    ]
-  }
-}
-```
-
----
-
-## Configuration Precedence
-
-When both global (`agents.defaults.*`) and agent-specific (`agents.list[].*`) configs exist:
-
-### Sandbox Config
-
-Agent-specific settings override global:
-
-```
-agents.list[].sandbox.mode > agents.defaults.sandbox.mode
-agents.list[].sandbox.scope > agents.defaults.sandbox.scope
-agents.list[].sandbox.workspaceRoot > agents.defaults.sandbox.workspaceRoot
-agents.list[].sandbox.workspaceAccess > agents.defaults.sandbox.workspaceAccess
-agents.list[].sandbox.docker.* > agents.defaults.sandbox.docker.*
-agents.list[].sandbox.browser.* > agents.defaults.sandbox.browser.*
-agents.list[].sandbox.prune.* > agents.defaults.sandbox.prune.*
-```
-
-**Notes:**
-
-- `agents.list[].sandbox.{docker,browser,prune}.*` overrides `agents.defaults.sandbox.{docker,browser,prune}.*` for that agent (ignored when sandbox scope resolves to `"shared"`).
-
-### Tool Restrictions
-
-The filtering order is:
-
-1. **Tool profile** (`tools.profile` or `agents.list[].tools.profile`)
-2. **Provider tool profile** (`tools.byProvider[provider].profile` or `agents.list[].tools.byProvider[provider].profile`)
-3. **Global tool policy** (`tools.allow` / `tools.deny`)
-4. **Provider tool policy** (`tools.byProvider[provider].allow/deny`)
-5. **Agent-specific tool policy** (`agents.list[].tools.allow/deny`)
-6. **Agent provider policy** (`agents.list[].tools.byProvider[provider].allow/deny`)
-7. **Sandbox tool policy** (`tools.sandbox.tools` or `agents.list[].tools.sandbox.tools`)
-8. **Subagent tool policy** (`tools.subagents.tools`, if applicable)
-
-Each level can further restrict tools, but cannot grant back denied tools from earlier levels.
-If `agents.list[].tools.sandbox.tools` is set, it replaces `tools.sandbox.tools` for that agent.
-If `agents.list[].tools.profile` is set, it overrides `tools.profile` for that agent.
-Provider tool keys accept either `provider` (e.g. `google-antigravity`) or `provider/model` (e.g. `openai/gpt-5.2`).
-
-### Tool groups (shorthands)
-
-Tool policies (global, agent, sandbox) support `group:*` entries that expand to multiple concrete tools:
-
-- `group:runtime`: `exec`, `bash`, `process`
-- `group:fs`: `read`, `write`, `edit`, `apply_patch`
-- `group:sessions`: `sessions_list`, `sessions_history`, `sessions_send`, `sessions_spawn`, `session_status`
-- `group:memory`: `memory_search`, `memory_get`
-- `group:ui`: `browser`, `canvas`
-- `group:automation`: `cron`, `gateway`
-- `group:messaging`: `message`
-- `group:nodes`: `nodes`
-- `group:openclaw`: all built-in OpenClaw tools (excludes provider plugins)
-
-### Elevated Mode
-
-`tools.elevated` is the global baseline (sender-based allowlist). `agents.list[].tools.elevated` can further restrict elevated for specific agents (both must allow).
-
-Mitigation patterns:
-
-- Deny `exec` for untrusted agents (`agents.list[].tools.deny: ["exec"]`)
-- Avoid allowlisting senders that route to restricted agents
-- Disable elevated globally (`tools.elevated.enabled: false`) if you only want sandboxed execution
-- Disable elevated per agent (`agents.list[].tools.elevated.enabled: false`) for sensitive profiles
-

-## Migration from Single Agent
-
-**Before (single agent):**
-
-```json
-{
-  "agents": {
-    "defaults": {
-      "workspace": "~/.openclaw/workspace",
-      "sandbox": {
-        "mode": "non-main"
-      }
-    }
-  },
-  "tools": {
-    "sandbox": {
-      "tools": {
-        "allow": ["read", "write", "apply_patch", "exec"],
-        "deny": []
-      }
-    }
-  }
-}
-```
-
-**After (multi-agent with different profiles):**
-
-```json
-{
-  "agents": {
-    "list": [
-      {
-        "id": "main",
-        "default": true,
-        "workspace": "~/.openclaw/workspace",
-        "sandbox": { "mode": "off" }
-      }
-    ]
-  }
-}
-```
-
-Legacy `agent.*` configs are migrated by `openclaw doctor`; prefer `agents.defaults` + `agents.list` going forward.
-
----
-
-## Tool Restriction Examples
-
-### Read-only Agent
-
-```json
-{
-  "tools": {
-    "allow": ["read"],
-    "deny": ["exec", "write", "edit", "apply_patch", "process"]
-  }
-}
-```
-
-### Safe Execution Agent (no file modifications)
-
-```json
-{
-  "tools": {
-    "allow": ["read", "exec", "process"],
-    "deny": ["write", "edit", "apply_patch", "browser", "gateway"]
-  }
-}
-```
-
-### Communication-only Agent
-
-```json
-{
-  "tools": {
-    "allow": ["sessions_list", "sessions_send", "sessions_history", "session_status"],
-    "deny": ["exec", "write", "edit", "apply_patch", "read", "browser"]
-  }
-}
-```
-
----
-
-## Common Pitfall: "non-main"
-
-`agents.defaults.sandbox.mode: "non-main"` is based on `session.mainKey` (default `"main"`),
-not the agent id. Group/channel sessions always get their own keys, so they
-are treated as non-main and will be sandboxed. If you want an agent to never
-sandbox, set `agents.list[].sandbox.mode: "off"`.
-
----
-
-## Testing
-
-After configuring multi-agent sandbox and tools:
-
-1. **Check agent resolution:**
-
-   ```exec
-   openclaw agents list --bindings
-   ```
-
-2. **Verify sandbox containers:**
-
-   ```exec
-   docker ps --filter "name=openclaw-sbx-"
-   ```
-
-3. **Test tool restrictions:**
-   - Send a message requiring restricted tools
-   - Verify the agent cannot use denied tools
-
-4. **Monitor logs:**
-   ```exec
-   tail -f "${OPENCLAW_STATE_DIR:-$HOME/.openclaw}/logs/gateway.log" | grep -E "routing|sandbox|tools"
-   ```
-
----
-
-## Troubleshooting
-
-### Agent not sandboxed despite `mode: "all"`
-
-- Check if there's a global `agents.defaults.sandbox.mode` that overrides it
-- Agent-specific config takes precedence, so set `agents.list[].sandbox.mode: "all"`
-
-### Tools still available despite deny list
-
-- Check tool filtering order: global → agent → sandbox → subagent
-- Each level can only further restrict, not grant back
-- Verify with logs: `[tools] filtering tools for agent:${agentId}`
-
-### Container not isolated per agent
-
-- Set `scope: "agent"` in agent-specific sandbox config
-- Default is `"session"` which creates one container per session

+## Mention Detection in Groups
+
+When `requireMention: true` is set for a group chat, OpenClaw now transcribes audio **before** checking for mentions. This allows voice notes to be processed even when they contain mentions.
+
+**How it works:**
+
+1. If a voice message has no text body and the group requires mentions, OpenClaw performs a "preflight" transcription.
+2. The transcript is checked for mention patterns (e.g., `@BotName`, emoji triggers).
+3. If a mention is found, the message proceeds through the full reply pipeline.
+4. The transcript is used for mention detection so voice notes can pass the mention gate.
+
+**Fallback behavior:**
+
+- If transcription fails during preflight (timeout, API error, etc.), the message is processed based on text-only mention detection.
+- This ensures that mixed messages (text + audio) are never incorrectly dropped.
+
+**Example:** A user sends a voice note saying "Hey @Claude, what's the weather?" in a Telegram group with `requireMention: true`. The voice note is transcribed, the mention is detected, and the agent replies.
+
 ## Gotchas
 
 - Scope rules use first-match wins. `chatType` is normalized to `direct`, `group`, or `room`.
 - Ensure your CLI exits 0 and prints plain text; JSON needs to be massaged via `jq -r .text`.
 - Keep timeouts reasonable (`timeoutSeconds`, default 60s) to avoid blocking the reply queue.
+- Preflight transcription only processes the **first** audio attachment for mention detection. Additional audio is processed during the main media understanding phase.

+## Command ladder
+
+```bash
+openclaw status
+openclaw gateway status
+openclaw logs --follow
+openclaw doctor
+openclaw channels status --probe
+```
+
+Then run node specific checks:
+
+```bash

+openclaw approvals get --node <idOrNameOrIp>
+```
+
+Healthy signals:
+
+- Node is connected and paired for role `node`.
+- `nodes describe` includes the capability you are calling.
+- Exec approvals show expected mode/allowlist.
+
+## Foreground requirements
+
+`canvas.*`, `camera.*`, and `screen.*` are foreground only on iOS/Android nodes.
+
+Quick check and fix:
+

+openclaw nodes describe --node <idOrNameOrIp>
+openclaw nodes canvas snapshot --node <idOrNameOrIp>
+openclaw logs --follow
+```
+
+If you see `NODE_BACKGROUND_UNAVAILABLE`, bring the node app to the foreground and retry.

+## Pairing versus approvals
+
+These are different gates:
+
+1. **Device pairing**: can this node connect to the gateway?
+2. **Exec approvals**: can this node run a specific shell command?
+
+Quick checks:
+
+```bash
+openclaw devices list
+openclaw nodes status
+openclaw approvals get --node <idOrNameOrIp>
+openclaw approvals allowlist add --node <idOrNameOrIp> "/usr/bin/uname"
+```
+
+If pairing is missing, approve the node device first.
+If pairing is fine but `system.run` fails, fix exec approvals/allowlist.
+
+## Common node error codes
+

 - Overlay sessions now carry a token per capture (wake-word or push-to-talk). Partial/final/send/dismiss/level updates are dropped when the token doesn’t match, avoiding stale callbacks.
 - Push-to-talk adopts any visible overlay text as a prefix (so pressing the hotkey while the wake overlay is up keeps the text and appends new speech). It waits up to 1.5s for a final transcript before falling back to the current text.

-# Plugins (Extensions)
-
-## Quick start (new to plugins?)
-
-A plugin is just a **small code module** that extends OpenClaw with extra
-features (commands, tools, and Gateway RPC).
-
-Most of the time, you’ll use plugins when you want a feature that’s not built
-into core OpenClaw yet (or you want to keep optional features out of your main
-install).
-
-Fast path:
-
-1. See what’s already loaded:
-
-```bash
-openclaw plugins list
-```
-
-2. Install an official plugin (example: Voice Call):
-
-```bash
-openclaw plugins install @openclaw/voice-call
-```
-
-3. Restart the Gateway, then configure under `plugins.entries.<id>.config`.
-
-See [Voice Call](/plugins/voice-call) for a concrete example plugin.
-
-## Available plugins (official)
-
-- Microsoft Teams is plugin-only as of 2026.1.15; install `@openclaw/msteams` if you use Teams.
-- Memory (Core) — bundled memory search plugin (enabled by default via `plugins.slots.memory`)
-- Memory (LanceDB) — bundled long-term memory plugin (auto-recall/capture; set `plugins.slots.memory = "memory-lancedb"`)
-- [Voice Call](/plugins/voice-call) — `@openclaw/voice-call`
-- [Zalo Personal](/plugins/zalouser) — `@openclaw/zalouser`
-- [Matrix](/channels/matrix) — `@openclaw/matrix`
-- [Nostr](/channels/nostr) — `@openclaw/nostr`
-- [Zalo](/channels/zalo) — `@openclaw/zalo`
-- [Microsoft Teams](/channels/msteams) — `@openclaw/msteams`
-- Google Antigravity OAuth (provider auth) — bundled as `google-antigravity-auth` (disabled by default)
-- Gemini CLI OAuth (provider auth) — bundled as `google-gemini-cli-auth` (disabled by default)
-- Qwen OAuth (provider auth) — bundled as `qwen-portal-auth` (disabled by default)
-- Copilot Proxy (provider auth) — local VS Code Copilot Proxy bridge; distinct from built-in `github-copilot` device login (bundled, disabled by default)
-
-OpenClaw plugins are **TypeScript modules** loaded at runtime via jiti. **Config
-validation does not execute plugin code**; it uses the plugin manifest and JSON
-Schema instead. See [Plugin manifest](/plugins/manifest).
-
-Plugins can register:
-
-- Gateway RPC methods
-- Gateway HTTP handlers
-- Agent tools
-- CLI commands
-- Background services
-- Optional config validation
-- **Skills** (by listing `skills` directories in the plugin manifest)
-- **Auto-reply commands** (execute without invoking the AI agent)
-
-Plugins run **in‑process** with the Gateway, so treat them as trusted code.
-Tool authoring guide: [Plugin agent tools](/plugins/agent-tools).
-
-## Runtime helpers
-
-Plugins can access selected core helpers via `api.runtime`. For telephony TTS:
-
-```ts
-const result = await api.runtime.tts.textToSpeechTelephony({
-  text: "Hello from OpenClaw",
-  cfg: api.config,
-});
-```
-
-Notes:
-
-- Uses core `messages.tts` configuration (OpenAI or ElevenLabs).
-- Returns PCM audio buffer + sample rate. Plugins must resample/encode for providers.
-- Edge TTS is not supported for telephony.
-
-## Discovery & precedence

-OpenClaw scans, in order:
-
-1. Config paths
-
-- `plugins.load.paths` (file or directory)
-
-2. Workspace extensions
-
-- `<workspace>/.openclaw/extensions/*.ts`
-- `<workspace>/.openclaw/extensions/*/index.ts`
-
-3. Global extensions
-
-- `~/.openclaw/extensions/*.ts`
-- `~/.openclaw/extensions/*/index.ts`
-
-4. Bundled extensions (shipped with OpenClaw, **disabled by default**)
-
-- `<openclaw>/extensions/*`
-
-Bundled plugins must be enabled explicitly via `plugins.entries.<id>.enabled`
-or `openclaw plugins enable <id>`. Installed plugins are enabled by default,
-but can be disabled the same way.
-
-Each plugin must include a `openclaw.plugin.json` file in its root. If a path
-points at a file, the plugin root is the file's directory and must contain the
-manifest.
-
-If multiple plugins resolve to the same id, the first match in the order above
-wins and lower-precedence copies are ignored.
-
-### Package packs
-
-A plugin directory may include a `package.json` with `openclaw.extensions`:
-
-```json
-{
-  "name": "my-pack",
-  "openclaw": {
-    "extensions": ["./src/safety.ts", "./src/tools.ts"]
-  }
-}
-```
-
-Each entry becomes a plugin. If the pack lists multiple extensions, the plugin id
-becomes `name/<fileBase>`.
-
-If your plugin imports npm deps, install them in that directory so
-`node_modules` is available (`npm install` / `pnpm install`).
-
-### Channel catalog metadata
-
-Channel plugins can advertise onboarding metadata via `openclaw.channel` and
-install hints via `openclaw.install`. This keeps the core catalog data-free.
-
-Example:
-
-```json
-{
-  "name": "@openclaw/nextcloud-talk",
-  "openclaw": {
-    "extensions": ["./index.ts"],
-    "channel": {
-      "id": "nextcloud-talk",
-      "label": "Nextcloud Talk",
-      "selectionLabel": "Nextcloud Talk (self-hosted)",
-      "docsPath": "/channels/nextcloud-talk",
-      "docsLabel": "nextcloud-talk",
-      "blurb": "Self-hosted chat via Nextcloud Talk webhook bots.",
-      "order": 65,
-      "aliases": ["nc-talk", "nc"]
-    },
-    "install": {
-      "npmSpec": "@openclaw/nextcloud-talk",
-      "localPath": "extensions/nextcloud-talk",
-      "defaultChoice": "npm"
-    }
-  }
-}
-```
-
-OpenClaw can also merge **external channel catalogs** (for example, an MPM
-registry export). Drop a JSON file at one of:
-
-- `~/.openclaw/mpm/plugins.json`
-- `~/.openclaw/mpm/catalog.json`
-- `~/.openclaw/plugins/catalog.json`
-
-Or point `OPENCLAW_PLUGIN_CATALOG_PATHS` (or `OPENCLAW_MPM_CATALOG_PATHS`) at
-one or more JSON files (comma/semicolon/`PATH`-delimited). Each file should
-contain `{ "entries": [ { "name": "@scope/pkg", "openclaw": { "channel": {...}, "install": {...} } } ] }`.
-
-## Plugin IDs
-
-Default plugin ids:
-
-- Package packs: `package.json` `name`
-- Standalone file: file base name (`~/.../voice-call.ts` → `voice-call`)
-
-If a plugin exports `id`, OpenClaw uses it but warns when it doesn’t match the
-configured id.
-
-## Config
-
-```json5
-{
-  plugins: {
-    enabled: true,
-    allow: ["voice-call"],
-    deny: ["untrusted-plugin"],
-    load: { paths: ["~/Projects/oss/voice-call-extension"] },
-    entries: {
-      "voice-call": { enabled: true, config: { provider: "twilio" } },
-    },
-  },
-}
-```
-
-Fields:
-
-- `enabled`: master toggle (default: true)
-- `allow`: allowlist (optional)
-- `deny`: denylist (optional; deny wins)
-- `load.paths`: extra plugin files/dirs
-- `entries.<id>`: per‑plugin toggles + config
-
-Config changes **require a gateway restart**.
-
-Validation rules (strict):
-
-- Unknown plugin ids in `entries`, `allow`, `deny`, or `slots` are **errors**.
-- Unknown `channels.<id>` keys are **errors** unless a plugin manifest declares
-  the channel id.
-- Plugin config is validated using the JSON Schema embedded in
-  `openclaw.plugin.json` (`configSchema`).
-- If a plugin is disabled, its config is preserved and a **warning** is emitted.
-
-## Plugin slots (exclusive categories)
-
-Some plugin categories are **exclusive** (only one active at a time). Use
-`plugins.slots` to select which plugin owns the slot:
-
-```json5
-{
-  plugins: {
-    slots: {
-      memory: "memory-core", // or "none" to disable memory plugins
-    },
-  },
-}
-```
-
-If multiple plugins declare `kind: "memory"`, only the selected one loads. Others
-are disabled with diagnostics.
-
-## Control UI (schema + labels)
-
-The Control UI uses `config.schema` (JSON Schema + `uiHints`) to render better forms.
-
-OpenClaw augments `uiHints` at runtime based on discovered plugins:
-
-- Adds per-plugin labels for `plugins.entries.<id>` / `.enabled` / `.config`
-- Merges optional plugin-provided config field hints under:
-  `plugins.entries.<id>.config.<field>`
-
-If you want your plugin config fields to show good labels/placeholders (and mark secrets as sensitive),
-provide `uiHints` alongside your JSON Schema in the plugin manifest.
-
-Example:
-
-```json
-{
-  "id": "my-plugin",
-  "configSchema": {
-    "type": "object",
-    "additionalProperties": false,
-    "properties": {
-      "apiKey": { "type": "string" },
-      "region": { "type": "string" }
-    }
-  },
-  "uiHints": {
-    "apiKey": { "label": "API Key", "sensitive": true },
-    "region": { "label": "Region", "placeholder": "us-east-1" }
-  }
-}
-```
-
-## CLI
-
-```bash
-openclaw plugins list
-openclaw plugins info <id>
-openclaw plugins install <path>                 # copy a local file/dir into ~/.openclaw/extensions/<id>
-openclaw plugins install ./extensions/voice-call # relative path ok
-openclaw plugins install ./plugin.tgz           # install from a local tarball
-openclaw plugins install ./plugin.zip           # install from a local zip
-openclaw plugins install -l ./extensions/voice-call # link (no copy) for dev
-openclaw plugins install @openclaw/voice-call # install from npm
-openclaw plugins update <id>
-openclaw plugins update --all
-openclaw plugins enable <id>
-openclaw plugins disable <id>
-openclaw plugins doctor
-```
-
-`plugins update` only works for npm installs tracked under `plugins.installs`.
-
-Plugins may also register their own top‑level commands (example: `openclaw voicecall`).
-
-## Plugin API (overview)
-
-Plugins export either:
-
-- A function: `(api) => { ... }`
-- An object: `{ id, name, configSchema, register(api) { ... } }`
-
-## Plugin hooks
-
-Plugins can ship hooks and register them at runtime. This lets a plugin bundle
-event-driven automation without a separate hook pack install.
-
-### Example
-
-```
-import { registerPluginHooksFromDir } from "openclaw/plugin-sdk";
-
-export default function register(api) {
-  registerPluginHooksFromDir(api, "./hooks");
-}
-```
-
-Notes:
-
-- Hook directories follow the normal hook structure (`HOOK.md` + `handler.ts`).
-- Hook eligibility rules still apply (OS/bins/env/config requirements).
-- Plugin-managed hooks show up in `openclaw hooks list` with `plugin:<id>`.
-- You cannot enable/disable plugin-managed hooks via `openclaw hooks`; enable/disable the plugin instead.
-
-## Provider plugins (model auth)
-
-Plugins can register **model provider auth** flows so users can run OAuth or
-API-key setup inside OpenClaw (no external scripts needed).
-
-Register a provider via `api.registerProvider(...)`. Each provider exposes one
-or more auth methods (OAuth, API key, device code, etc.). These methods power:
-
-- `openclaw models auth login --provider <id> [--method <id>]`
-
-Example:
-
-```ts
-api.registerProvider({
-  id: "acme",
-  label: "AcmeAI",
-  auth: [
-    {
-      id: "oauth",
-      label: "OAuth",
-      kind: "oauth",
-      run: async (ctx) => {
-        // Run OAuth flow and return auth profiles.
-        return {
-          profiles: [
-            {
-              profileId: "acme:default",
-              credential: {
-                type: "oauth",
-                provider: "acme",
-                access: "...",
-                refresh: "...",
-                expires: Date.now() + 3600 * 1000,
-              },
-            },
-          ],
-          defaultModel: "acme/opus-1",
-        };
-      },
-    },
-  ],
-});
-```
-
-Notes:
-
-- `run` receives a `ProviderAuthContext` with `prompter`, `runtime`,
-  `openUrl`, and `oauth.createVpsAwareHandlers` helpers.
-- Return `configPatch` when you need to add default models or provider config.
-- Return `defaultModel` so `--set-default` can update agent defaults.
-
-### Register a messaging channel
-
-Plugins can register **channel plugins** that behave like built‑in channels
-(WhatsApp, Telegram, etc.). Channel config lives under `channels.<id>` and is
-validated by your channel plugin code.
-
-```ts
-const myChannel = {
-  id: "acmechat",
-  meta: {
-    id: "acmechat",
-    label: "AcmeChat",
-    selectionLabel: "AcmeChat (API)",
-    docsPath: "/channels/acmechat",
-    blurb: "demo channel plugin.",
-    aliases: ["acme"],
-  },
-  capabilities: { chatTypes: ["direct"] },
-  config: {
-    listAccountIds: (cfg) => Object.keys(cfg.channels?.acmechat?.accounts ?? {}),
-    resolveAccount: (cfg, accountId) =>
-      cfg.channels?.acmechat?.accounts?.[accountId ?? "default"] ?? {
-        accountId,
-      },
-  },
-  outbound: {
-    deliveryMode: "direct",
-    sendText: async () => ({ ok: true }),
-  },
-};
-
-export default function (api) {
-  api.registerChannel({ plugin: myChannel });
-}
-```
-
-Notes:
-
-- Put config under `channels.<id>` (not `plugins.entries`).
-- `meta.label` is used for labels in CLI/UI lists.
-- `meta.aliases` adds alternate ids for normalization and CLI inputs.
-- `meta.preferOver` lists channel ids to skip auto-enable when both are configured.
-- `meta.detailLabel` and `meta.systemImage` let UIs show richer channel labels/icons.
-
-### Write a new messaging channel (step‑by‑step)
-
-Use this when you want a **new chat surface** (a “messaging channel”), not a model provider.
-Model provider docs live under `/providers/*`.
-
-1. Pick an id + config shape
-
-- All channel config lives under `channels.<id>`.
-- Prefer `channels.<id>.accounts.<accountId>` for multi‑account setups.
-
-2. Define the channel metadata
-
-- `meta.label`, `meta.selectionLabel`, `meta.docsPath`, `meta.blurb` control CLI/UI lists.
-- `meta.docsPath` should point at a docs page like `/channels/<id>`.
-- `meta.preferOver` lets a plugin replace another channel (auto-enable prefers it).
-- `meta.detailLabel` and `meta.systemImage` are used by UIs for detail text/icons.
-
-3. Implement the required adapters
-
-- `config.listAccountIds` + `config.resolveAccount`
-- `capabilities` (chat types, media, threads, etc.)
-- `outbound.deliveryMode` + `outbound.sendText` (for basic send)
-
-4. Add optional adapters as needed
-
-- `setup` (wizard), `security` (DM policy), `status` (health/diagnostics)
-- `gateway` (start/stop/login), `mentions`, `threading`, `streaming`
-- `actions` (message actions), `commands` (native command behavior)
-
-5. Register the channel in your plugin
-
-- `api.registerChannel({ plugin })`
-
-Minimal config example:
-
-```json5
-{
-  channels: {
-    acmechat: {
-      accounts: {
-        default: { token: "ACME_TOKEN", enabled: true },
-      },
-    },
-  },
-}
-```
-
-Minimal channel plugin (outbound‑only):
-
-```ts
-const plugin = {
-  id: "acmechat",
-  meta: {
-    id: "acmechat",
-    label: "AcmeChat",
-    selectionLabel: "AcmeChat (API)",
-    docsPath: "/channels/acmechat",
-    blurb: "AcmeChat messaging channel.",
-    aliases: ["acme"],
-  },
-  capabilities: { chatTypes: ["direct"] },
-  config: {
-    listAccountIds: (cfg) => Object.keys(cfg.channels?.acmechat?.accounts ?? {}),
-    resolveAccount: (cfg, accountId) =>
-      cfg.channels?.acmechat?.accounts?.[accountId ?? "default"] ?? {
-        accountId,
-      },
-  },
-  outbound: {
-    deliveryMode: "direct",
-    sendText: async ({ text }) => {
-      // deliver `text` to your channel here
-      return { ok: true };
-    },
-  },
-};
-
-export default function (api) {
-  api.registerChannel({ plugin });
-}
-```
-
-Load the plugin (extensions dir or `plugins.load.paths`), restart the gateway,
-then configure `channels.<id>` in your config.
-
-### Agent tools
-
-See the dedicated guide: [Plugin agent tools](/plugins/agent-tools).
-
-### Register a gateway RPC method
-
-```ts
-export default function (api) {
-  api.registerGatewayMethod("myplugin.status", ({ respond }) => {
-    respond(true, { ok: true });
-  });
-}
-```
-
-### Register CLI commands
-
-```ts
-export default function (api) {
-  api.registerCli(
-    ({ program }) => {
-      program.command("mycmd").action(() => {
-        console.log("Hello");
-      });
-    },
-    { commands: ["mycmd"] },
-  );
-}
-```
-
-### Register auto-reply commands
-
-Plugins can register custom slash commands that execute **without invoking the
-AI agent**. This is useful for toggle commands, status checks, or quick actions
-that don't need LLM processing.
-
-```ts
-export default function (api) {
-  api.registerCommand({
-    name: "mystatus",
-    description: "Show plugin status",
-    handler: (ctx) => ({
-      text: `Plugin is running! Channel: ${ctx.channel}`,
-    }),
-  });
-}
-```
-
-Command handler context:
-
-- `senderId`: The sender's ID (if available)
-- `channel`: The channel where the command was sent
-- `isAuthorizedSender`: Whether the sender is an authorized user
-- `args`: Arguments passed after the command (if `acceptsArgs: true`)
-- `commandBody`: The full command text
-- `config`: The current OpenClaw config
-
-Command options:
-
-- `name`: Command name (without the leading `/`)
-- `description`: Help text shown in command lists
-- `acceptsArgs`: Whether the command accepts arguments (default: false). If false and arguments are provided, the command won't match and the message falls through to other handlers
-- `requireAuth`: Whether to require authorized sender (default: true)
-- `handler`: Function that returns `{ text: string }` (can be async)
-
-Example with authorization and arguments:
-
-```ts
-api.registerCommand({
-  name: "setmode",
-  description: "Set plugin mode",
-  acceptsArgs: true,
-  requireAuth: true,
-  handler: async (ctx) => {
-    const mode = ctx.args?.trim() || "default";
-    await saveMode(mode);
-    return { text: `Mode set to: ${mode}` };
-  },
-});
-```
-
-Notes:
-
-- Plugin commands are processed **before** built-in commands and the AI agent
-- Commands are registered globally and work across all channels
-- Command names are case-insensitive (`/MyStatus` matches `/mystatus`)
-- Command names must start with a letter and contain only letters, numbers, hyphens, and underscores
-- Reserved command names (like `help`, `status`, `reset`, etc.) cannot be overridden by plugins
-- Duplicate command registration across plugins will fail with a diagnostic error
-
-### Register background services
-
-```ts
-export default function (api) {
-  api.registerService({
-    id: "my-service",
-    start: () => api.logger.info("ready"),
-    stop: () => api.logger.info("bye"),
-  });
-}
-```
-
-## Naming conventions
-
-- Gateway methods: `pluginId.action` (example: `voicecall.status`)
-- Tools: `snake_case` (example: `voice_call`)
-- CLI commands: kebab or camel, but avoid clashing with core commands
-
-## Skills
-
-Plugins can ship a skill in the repo (`skills/<name>/SKILL.md`).
-Enable it with `plugins.entries.<id>.enabled` (or other config gates) and ensure
-it’s present in your workspace/managed skills locations.
-
-## Distribution (npm)
-
-Recommended packaging:
-
-- Main package: `openclaw` (this repo)
-- Plugins: separate npm packages under `@openclaw/*` (example: `@openclaw/voice-call`)
-
-Publishing contract:
-
-- Plugin `package.json` must include `openclaw.extensions` with one or more entry files.
-- Entry files can be `.js` or `.ts` (jiti loads TS at runtime).
-- `openclaw plugins install <npm-spec>` uses `npm pack`, extracts into `~/.openclaw/extensions/<id>/`, and enables it in config.
-- Config key stability: scoped packages are normalized to the **unscoped** id for `plugins.entries.*`.
-
-## Example plugin: Voice Call
-
-This repo includes a voice‑call plugin (Twilio or log fallback):
-
-- Source: `extensions/voice-call`
-- Skill: `skills/voice-call`
-- CLI: `openclaw voicecall start|status`
-- Tool: `voice_call`
-- RPC: `voicecall.start`, `voicecall.status`
-- Config (twilio): `provider: "twilio"` + `twilio.accountSid/authToken/from` (optional `statusCallbackUrl`, `twimlUrl`)
-- Config (dev): `provider: "log"` (no network)
-
-See [Voice Call](/plugins/voice-call) and `extensions/voice-call/README.md` for setup and usage.
-
-## Safety notes
-
-Plugins run in-process with the Gateway. Treat them as trusted code:
-
-- Only install plugins you trust.
-- Prefer `plugins.allow` allowlists.
-- Restart the Gateway after changes.
-
-## Testing plugins
-
-Plugins can (and should) ship tests:
-
-- In-repo plugins can keep Vitest tests under `src/**` (example: `src/plugins/voice-call.plugin.test.ts`).
-- Separately published plugins should run their own CI (lint/build/test) and validate `openclaw.extensions` points at the built entrypoint (`dist/index.js`).

+- Region: `AWS_REGION` or `AWS_DEFAULT_REGION` (default: `us-east-1`)
+
+## Automatic model discovery
+
+If AWS credentials are detected, OpenClaw can automatically discover Bedrock
+models that support **streaming** and **text output**. Discovery uses
+`bedrock:ListFoundationModels` and is cached (default: 1 hour).
+
+Config options live under `models.bedrockDiscovery`:
+
+```json5
+{
+  models: {
+    bedrockDiscovery: {
+      enabled: true,
+      region: "us-east-1",
+      providerFilter: ["anthropic", "amazon"],
+      refreshInterval: 3600,
+      defaultContextWindow: 32000,
+      defaultMaxTokens: 4096,
+    },
+  },
+}
+```
+
+Notes:
+
+- `enabled` defaults to `true` when AWS credentials are present.
+- `region` defaults to `AWS_REGION` or `AWS_DEFAULT_REGION`, then `us-east-1`.
+- `providerFilter` matches Bedrock provider names (for example `anthropic`).
+- `refreshInterval` is seconds; set to `0` to disable caching.
+- `defaultContextWindow` (default: `32000`) and `defaultMaxTokens` (default: `4096`)
+  are used for discovered models (override if you know your model limits).
+
+## Setup (manual)
+
+1. Ensure AWS credentials are available on the **gateway host**:
+
+```bash
+export AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID="AKIA..."
+export AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY="..."
+export AWS_REGION="us-east-1"
+# Optional:
+export AWS_SESSION_TOKEN="..."
+export AWS_PROFILE="your-profile"
+# Optional (Bedrock API key/bearer token):
+export AWS_BEARER_TOKEN_BEDROCK="..."
+```
+
+2. Add a Bedrock provider and model to your config (no `apiKey` required):
+
+```json5
+{
+  models: {
+    providers: {
+      "amazon-bedrock": {
+        baseUrl: "https://bedrock-runtime.us-east-1.amazonaws.com",
+        api: "bedrock-converse-stream",
+        auth: "aws-sdk",
+        models: [
+          {
+            id: "us.anthropic.claude-opus-4-6-v1:0",
+            name: "Claude Opus 4.6 (Bedrock)",
+            reasoning: true,
+            input: ["text", "image"],
+            cost: { input: 0, output: 0, cacheRead: 0, cacheWrite: 0 },
+            contextWindow: 200000,
+            maxTokens: 8192,
+          },
+        ],
+      },
+    },
+  },
+  agents: {
+    defaults: {
+      model: { primary: "amazon-bedrock/us.anthropic.claude-opus-4-6-v1:0" },
+    },
+  },
+}
+```
+
+## EC2 Instance Roles
+
+When running OpenClaw on an EC2 instance with an IAM role attached, the AWS SDK
+will automatically use the instance metadata service (IMDS) for authentication.
+However, OpenClaw's credential detection currently only checks for environment
+variables, not IMDS credentials.
+
+**Workaround:** Set `AWS_PROFILE=default` to signal that AWS credentials are
+available. The actual authentication still uses the instance role via IMDS.
+
+```bash
+# Add to ~/.bashrc or your shell profile
+export AWS_PROFILE=default
+export AWS_REGION=us-east-1
+```
+
+**Required IAM permissions** for the EC2 instance role:
+
+- `bedrock:InvokeModel`
+- `bedrock:InvokeModelWithResponseStream`
+- `bedrock:ListFoundationModels` (for automatic discovery)
+
+Or attach the managed policy `AmazonBedrockFullAccess`.
+
+**Quick setup:**
+
+```bash
+# 1. Create IAM role and instance profile
+aws iam create-role --role-name EC2-Bedrock-Access \
+  --assume-role-policy-document '{
+    "Version": "2012-10-17",
+    "Statement": [{
+      "Effect": "Allow",
+      "Principal": {"Service": "ec2.amazonaws.com"},
+      "Action": "sts:AssumeRole"
+    }]
+  }'
+
+aws iam attach-role-policy --role-name EC2-Bedrock-Access \
+  --policy-arn arn:aws:iam::aws:policy/AmazonBedrockFullAccess
+
+aws iam create-instance-profile --instance-profile-name EC2-Bedrock-Access
+aws iam add-role-to-instance-profile \
+  --instance-profile-name EC2-Bedrock-Access \
+  --role-name EC2-Bedrock-Access
+
+# 2. Attach to your EC2 instance
+aws ec2 associate-iam-instance-profile \
+  --instance-id i-xxxxx \
+  --iam-instance-profile Name=EC2-Bedrock-Access
+
+# 3. On the EC2 instance, enable discovery
+openclaw config set models.bedrockDiscovery.enabled true
+openclaw config set models.bedrockDiscovery.region us-east-1
+
+# 4. Set the workaround env vars
+echo 'export AWS_PROFILE=default' >> ~/.bashrc
+echo 'export AWS_REGION=us-east-1' >> ~/.bashrc
+source ~/.bashrc
+
+# 5. Verify models are discovered
+openclaw models list
+```
+
+## Notes
+
+- Bedrock requires **model access** enabled in your AWS account/region.
+- Automatic discovery needs the `bedrock:ListFoundationModels` permission.
+- If you use profiles, set `AWS_PROFILE` on the gateway host.
+- OpenClaw surfaces the credential source in this order: `AWS_BEARER_TOKEN_BEDROCK`,
+  then `AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID` + `AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY`, then `AWS_PROFILE`, then the
+  default AWS SDK chain.
+- Reasoning support depends on the model; check the Bedrock model card for
+  current capabilities.
+- If you prefer a managed key flow, you can also place an OpenAI‑compatible
+  proxy in front of Bedrock and configure it as an OpenAI provider instead.

+
+# Hugging Face (Inference)
+
+[Hugging Face Inference Providers](https://huggingface.co/docs/inference-providers) offer OpenAI-compatible chat completions through a single router API. You get access to many models (DeepSeek, Llama, and more) with one token. OpenClaw uses the **OpenAI-compatible endpoint** (chat completions only); for text-to-image, embeddings, or speech use the [HF inference clients](https://huggingface.co/docs/api-inference/quicktour) directly.
+
+- Provider: `huggingface`
+- Auth: `HUGGINGFACE_HUB_TOKEN` or `HF_TOKEN` (fine-grained token with **Make calls to Inference Providers**)
+- API: OpenAI-compatible (`https://router.huggingface.co/v1`)
+- Billing: Single HF token; [pricing](https://huggingface.co/docs/inference-providers/pricing) follows provider rates with a free tier.
+
+## Quick start
+
+1. Create a fine-grained token at [Hugging Face → Settings → Tokens](https://huggingface.co/settings/tokens/new?ownUserPermissions=inference.serverless.write&tokenType=fineGrained) with the **Make calls to Inference Providers** permission.
+2. Run onboarding and choose **Hugging Face** in the provider dropdown, then enter your API key when prompted:
+
+```bash
+openclaw onboard --auth-choice huggingface-api-key
+```
+
+3. In the **Default Hugging Face model** dropdown, pick the model you want (the list is loaded from the Inference API when you have a valid token; otherwise a built-in list is shown). Your choice is saved as the default model.
+4. You can also set or change the default model later in config:
+
+```json5
+{
+  agents: {
+    defaults: {
+      model: { primary: "huggingface/deepseek-ai/DeepSeek-R1" },
+    },
+  },
+}
+```
+
+## Non-interactive example
+
+```bash
+openclaw onboard --non-interactive \
+  --mode local \
+  --auth-choice huggingface-api-key \
+  --huggingface-api-key "$HF_TOKEN"
+```
+
+This will set `huggingface/deepseek-ai/DeepSeek-R1` as the default model.
+
+## Environment note
+
+If the Gateway runs as a daemon (launchd/systemd), make sure `HUGGINGFACE_HUB_TOKEN` or `HF_TOKEN`
+is available to that process (for example, in `~/.openclaw/.env` or via
+`env.shellEnv`).
+
+## Model discovery and onboarding dropdown
+
+OpenClaw discovers models by calling the **Inference endpoint directly**:
+
+```bash
+GET https://router.huggingface.co/v1/models
+```
+
+(Optional: send `Authorization: Bearer $HUGGINGFACE_HUB_TOKEN` or `$HF_TOKEN` for the full list; some endpoints return a subset without auth.) The response is OpenAI-style `{ "object": "list", "data": [ { "id": "Qwen/Qwen3-8B", "owned_by": "Qwen", ... }, ... ] }`.
+
+When you configure a Hugging Face API key (via onboarding, `HUGGINGFACE_HUB_TOKEN`, or `HF_TOKEN`), OpenClaw uses this GET to discover available chat-completion models. During **interactive onboarding**, after you enter your token you see a **Default Hugging Face model** dropdown populated from that list (or the built-in catalog if the request fails). At runtime (e.g. Gateway startup), when a key is present, OpenClaw again calls **GET** `https://router.huggingface.co/v1/models` to refresh the catalog. The list is merged with a built-in catalog (for metadata like context window and cost). If the request fails or no key is set, only the built-in catalog is used.
+
+## Model names and editable options
+
+- **Name from API:** The model display name is **hydrated from GET /v1/models** when the API returns `name`, `title`, or `display_name`; otherwise it is derived from the model id (e.g. `deepseek-ai/DeepSeek-R1` → “DeepSeek R1”).
+- **Override display name:** You can set a custom label per model in config so it appears the way you want in the CLI and UI:
+
+```json5
+{
+  agents: {
+    defaults: {
+      models: {
+        "huggingface/deepseek-ai/DeepSeek-R1": { alias: "DeepSeek R1 (fast)" },
+        "huggingface/deepseek-ai/DeepSeek-R1:cheapest": { alias: "DeepSeek R1 (cheap)" },
+      },
+    },
+  },
+}
+```
+
+- **Provider / policy selection:** Append a suffix to the **model id** to choose how the router picks the backend:
+  - **`:fastest`** — highest throughput (router picks; provider choice is **locked** — no interactive backend picker).
+  - **`:cheapest`** — lowest cost per output token (router picks; provider choice is **locked**).
+  - **`:provider`** — force a specific backend (e.g. `:sambanova`, `:together`).
+
+  When you select **:cheapest** or **:fastest** (e.g. in the onboarding model dropdown), the provider is locked: the router decides by cost or speed and no optional “prefer specific backend” step is shown. You can add these as separate entries in `models.providers.huggingface.models` or set `model.primary` with the suffix. You can also set your default order in [Inference Provider settings](https://hf.co/settings/inference-providers) (no suffix = use that order).
+
+- **Config merge:** Existing entries in `models.providers.huggingface.models` (e.g. in `models.json`) are kept when config is merged. So any custom `name`, `alias`, or model options you set there are preserved.
+
+## Model IDs and configuration examples
+
+Model refs use the form `huggingface/<org>/<model>` (Hub-style IDs). The list below is from **GET** `https://router.huggingface.co/v1/models`; your catalog may include more.
+
+**Example IDs (from the inference endpoint):**
+
+| Model                  | Ref (prefix with `huggingface/`)    |
+| ---------------------- | ----------------------------------- |
+| DeepSeek R1            | `deepseek-ai/DeepSeek-R1`           |
+| DeepSeek V3.2          | `deepseek-ai/DeepSeek-V3.2`         |
+| Qwen3 8B               | `Qwen/Qwen3-8B`                     |
+| Qwen2.5 7B Instruct    | `Qwen/Qwen2.5-7B-Instruct`          |
+| Qwen3 32B              | `Qwen/Qwen3-32B`                    |
+| Llama 3.3 70B Instruct | `meta-llama/Llama-3.3-70B-Instruct` |
+| Llama 3.1 8B Instruct  | `meta-llama/Llama-3.1-8B-Instruct`  |
+| GPT-OSS 120B           | `openai/gpt-oss-120b`               |
+| GLM 4.7                | `zai-org/GLM-4.7`                   |
+| Kimi K2.5              | `moonshotai/Kimi-K2.5`              |
+
+You can append `:fastest`, `:cheapest`, or `:provider` (e.g. `:together`, `:sambanova`) to the model id. Set your default order in [Inference Provider settings](https://hf.co/settings/inference-providers); see [Inference Providers](https://huggingface.co/docs/inference-providers) and **GET** `https://router.huggingface.co/v1/models` for the full list.

+---
+
+# LiteLLM
+
+[LiteLLM](https://litellm.ai) is an open-source LLM gateway that provides a unified API to 100+ model providers. Route OpenClaw through LiteLLM to get centralized cost tracking, logging, and the flexibility to switch backends without changing your OpenClaw config.
+
+## Why use LiteLLM with OpenClaw?
+
+- **Cost tracking** — See exactly what OpenClaw spends across all models
+- **Model routing** — Switch between Claude, GPT-4, Gemini, Bedrock without config changes
+- **Virtual keys** — Create keys with spend limits for OpenClaw
+- **Logging** — Full request/response logs for debugging
+- **Fallbacks** — Automatic failover if your primary provider is down
+
+## Quick start
+
+### Via onboarding
+
+```bash
+openclaw onboard --auth-choice litellm-api-key
+```
+
+### Manual setup
+
+1. Start LiteLLM Proxy:
+
+```bash
+pip install 'litellm[proxy]'
+litellm --model claude-opus-4-6
+```
+
+2. Point OpenClaw to LiteLLM:
+
+```bash
+export LITELLM_API_KEY="your-litellm-key"
+
+openclaw
+```
+
+That's it. OpenClaw now routes through LiteLLM.
+
+## Configuration

+    },
+  },
+}
+```
+
+## Virtual keys
+
+Create a dedicated key for OpenClaw with spend limits:
+
+```bash
+curl -X POST "http://localhost:4000/key/generate" \
+  -H "Authorization: Bearer $LITELLM_MASTER_KEY" \
+  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
+  -d '{
+    "key_alias": "openclaw",
+    "max_budget": 50.00,
+    "budget_duration": "monthly"
+  }'
+```
+
+Use the generated key as `LITELLM_API_KEY`.
+
+## Model routing
+
+LiteLLM can route model requests to different backends. Configure in your LiteLLM `config.yaml`:
+
+```yaml
+model_list:
+  - model_name: claude-opus-4-6
+    litellm_params:
+      model: claude-opus-4-6
+      api_key: os.environ/ANTHROPIC_API_KEY
+
+  - model_name: gpt-4o
+    litellm_params:
+      model: gpt-4o
+      api_key: os.environ/OPENAI_API_KEY
+```
+
+OpenClaw keeps requesting `claude-opus-4-6` — LiteLLM handles the routing.
+
+## Viewing usage
+
+Check LiteLLM's dashboard or API:
+
+```bash
+# Key info
+curl "http://localhost:4000/key/info" \
+  -H "Authorization: Bearer sk-litellm-key"
+
+# Spend logs
+curl "http://localhost:4000/spend/logs" \
+  -H "Authorization: Bearer $LITELLM_MASTER_KEY"
+```
+
+## Notes
+
+- LiteLLM runs on `http://localhost:4000` by default
+- OpenClaw connects via the OpenAI-compatible `/v1/chat/completions` endpoint
+- All OpenClaw features work through LiteLLM — no limitations

+# Qianfan Provider Guide
+
+Qianfan is Baidu's MaaS platform, provides a **unified API** that routes requests to many models behind a single
+endpoint and API key. It is OpenAI-compatible, so most OpenAI SDKs work by switching the base URL.
+
+## Prerequisites
+
+1. A Baidu Cloud account with Qianfan API access
+2. An API key from the Qianfan console
+3. OpenClaw installed on your system
+
+## Getting Your API Key
+
+1. Visit the [Qianfan Console](https://console.bce.baidu.com/qianfan/ais/console/apiKey)
+2. Create a new application or select an existing one
+3. Generate an API key (format: `bce-v3/ALTAK-...`)
+4. Copy the API key for use with OpenClaw
+
+## CLI setup
+
+```bash
+openclaw onboard --auth-choice qianfan-api-key

+
+- Provider: `together`
+- Auth: `TOGETHER_API_KEY`

+
+## Quick start

+
+```bash
+openclaw onboard --auth-choice together-api-key
+```
+
+2. Set a default model:
+
+```json5
+{
+  agents: {

+
+```bash
+openclaw onboard --non-interactive \
+  --mode local \
+  --auth-choice together-api-key \
+  --together-api-key "$TOGETHER_API_KEY"
+```
+
+This will set `together/moonshotai/Kimi-K2.5` as the default model.
+
+## Environment note
+
+If the Gateway runs as a daemon (launchd/systemd), make sure `TOGETHER_API_KEY`
+is available to that process (for example, in `~/.clawdbot/.env` or via
+`env.shellEnv`).
+
+## Available models
+
+Together AI provides access to many popular open-source models:
+
+- **GLM 4.7 Fp8** - Default model with 200K context window
+- **Llama 3.3 70B Instruct Turbo** - Fast, efficient instruction following
+- **Llama 4 Scout** - Vision model with image understanding
+- **Llama 4 Maverick** - Advanced vision and reasoning
+- **DeepSeek V3.1** - Powerful coding and reasoning model
+- **DeepSeek R1** - Advanced reasoning model
+- **Kimi K2 Instruct** - High-performance model with 262K context window
+
+All models support standard chat completions and are OpenAI API compatible.

+summary: "Run OpenClaw with vLLM (OpenAI-compatible local server)"
+read_when:
+  - You want to run OpenClaw against a local vLLM server
+  - You want OpenAI-compatible /v1 endpoints with your own models
+title: "vLLM"
+---
+
+# vLLM
+
+vLLM can serve open-source (and some custom) models via an **OpenAI-compatible** HTTP API. OpenClaw can connect to vLLM using the `openai-completions` API.
+
+OpenClaw can also **auto-discover** available models from vLLM when you opt in with `VLLM_API_KEY` (any value works if your server doesn’t enforce auth) and you do not define an explicit `models.providers.vllm` entry.
+
+## Quick start
+
+1. Start vLLM with an OpenAI-compatible server.
+
+Your base URL should expose `/v1` endpoints (e.g. `/v1/models`, `/v1/chat/completions`). vLLM commonly runs on:
+
+- `http://127.0.0.1:8000/v1`
+
+2. Opt in (any value works if no auth is configured):
+
+```bash
+export VLLM_API_KEY="vllm-local"
+```
+
+3. Select a model (replace with one of your vLLM model IDs):
+
+```json5
+{
+  agents: {
+    defaults: {
+      model: { primary: "vllm/your-model-id" },
+    },
+  },
+}
+```
+
+## Model discovery (implicit provider)
+
+When `VLLM_API_KEY` is set (or an auth profile exists) and you **do not** define `models.providers.vllm`, OpenClaw will query:
+
+- `GET http://127.0.0.1:8000/v1/models`
+
+…and convert the returned IDs into model entries.
+
+If you set `models.providers.vllm` explicitly, auto-discovery is skipped and you must define models manually.
+
+## Explicit configuration (manual models)
+
+Use explicit config when:
+
+- vLLM runs on a different host/port.
+- You want to pin `contextWindow`/`maxTokens` values.
+- Your server requires a real API key (or you want to control headers).
+
+```json5
+{
+  models: {
+    providers: {
+      vllm: {
+        baseUrl: "http://127.0.0.1:8000/v1",
+        apiKey: "${VLLM_API_KEY}",
+        api: "openai-completions",
+        models: [
+          {
+            id: "your-model-id",
+            name: "Local vLLM Model",
+            reasoning: false,
+            input: ["text"],
+            cost: { input: 0, output: 0, cacheRead: 0, cacheWrite: 0 },
+            contextWindow: 128000,
+            maxTokens: 8192,
+          },
+        ],
+      },
+    },
+  },
+}
+```
+
+## Troubleshooting
+
+- Check the server is reachable:
+
+```bash
+curl http://127.0.0.1:8000/v1/models

+---
+
+# Token use & costs
+
+OpenClaw tracks **tokens**, not characters. Tokens are model-specific, but most
+OpenAI-style models average ~4 characters per token for English text.
+
+## How the system prompt is built
+
+OpenClaw assembles its own system prompt on every run. It includes:
+
+- Tool list + short descriptions
+- Skills list (only metadata; instructions are loaded on demand with `read`)
+- Self-update instructions
+- Workspace + bootstrap files (`AGENTS.md`, `SOUL.md`, `TOOLS.md`, `IDENTITY.md`, `USER.md`, `HEARTBEAT.md`, `BOOTSTRAP.md` when new, plus `MEMORY.md` and/or `memory.md` when present). Large files are truncated by `agents.defaults.bootstrapMaxChars` (default: 20000), and total bootstrap injection is capped by `agents.defaults.bootstrapTotalMaxChars` (default: 24000). `memory/*.md` files are on-demand via memory tools and are not auto-injected.
+- Time (UTC + user timezone)
+- Reply tags + heartbeat behavior
+- Runtime metadata (host/OS/model/thinking)
+
+See the full breakdown in [System Prompt](/concepts/system-prompt).
+
+## What counts in the context window
+
+Everything the model receives counts toward the context limit:
+
+- System prompt (all sections listed above)
+- Conversation history (user + assistant messages)
+- Tool calls and tool results
+- Attachments/transcripts (images, audio, files)
+- Compaction summaries and pruning artifacts
+- Provider wrappers or safety headers (not visible, but still counted)
+
+For a practical breakdown (per injected file, tools, skills, and system prompt size), use `/context list` or `/context detail`. See [Context](/concepts/context).
+
+## How to see current token usage
+
+Use these in chat:
+
+- `/status` → **emoji‑rich status card** with the session model, context usage,
+  last response input/output tokens, and **estimated cost** (API key only).
+- `/usage off|tokens|full` → appends a **per-response usage footer** to every reply.
+  - Persists per session (stored as `responseUsage`).
+  - OAuth auth **hides cost** (tokens only).
+- `/usage cost` → shows a local cost summary from OpenClaw session logs.
+
+Other surfaces:
+
+- **TUI/Web TUI:** `/status` + `/usage` are supported.
+- **CLI:** `openclaw status --usage` and `openclaw channels list` show
+  provider quota windows (not per-response costs).
+
+## Cost estimation (when shown)
+
+Costs are estimated from your model pricing config:
+
+```
+models.providers.<provider>.models[].cost
+```
+
+These are **USD per 1M tokens** for `input`, `output`, `cacheRead`, and
+`cacheWrite`. If pricing is missing, OpenClaw shows tokens only. OAuth tokens
+never show dollar cost.
+
+## Cache TTL and pruning impact
+
+Provider prompt caching only applies within the cache TTL window. OpenClaw can
+optionally run **cache-ttl pruning**: it prunes the session once the cache TTL
+has expired, then resets the cache window so subsequent requests can re-use the
+freshly cached context instead of re-caching the full history. This keeps cache
+write costs lower when a session goes idle past the TTL.
+
+Configure it in [Gateway configuration](/gateway/configuration) and see the
+behavior details in [Session pruning](/concepts/session-pruning).
+
+Heartbeat can keep the cache **warm** across idle gaps. If your model cache TTL
+is `1h`, setting the heartbeat interval just under that (e.g., `55m`) can avoid
+re-caching the full prompt, reducing cache write costs.
+
+For Anthropic API pricing, cache reads are significantly cheaper than input
+tokens, while cache writes are billed at a higher multiplier. See Anthropic’s
+prompt caching pricing for the latest rates and TTL multipliers:
+[https://docs.anthropic.com/docs/build-with-claude/prompt-caching](https://docs.anthropic.com/docs/build-with-claude/prompt-caching)
+
+### Example: keep 1h cache warm with heartbeat
+
+```yaml
+agents:
+  defaults:
+    model:
+      primary: "anthropic/claude-opus-4-6"
+    models:
+      "anthropic/claude-opus-4-6":
+        params:
+          cacheRetention: "long"
+    heartbeat:
+      every: "55m"
+```
+
+## Tips for reducing token pressure
+
+- Use `/compact` to summarize long sessions.
+- Trim large tool outputs in your workflows.
+- Keep skill descriptions short (skill list is injected into the prompt).
+- Prefer smaller models for verbose, exploratory work.
+
+See [Skills](/tools/skills) for the exact skill list overhead formula.

+## Global rule: inter-session input provenance
+
+When an agent sends a prompt into another session via `sessions_send` (including

+
+- `message.provenance.kind = "inter_session"`
+
+This metadata is written at transcript append time and does not change role
+(`role: "user"` remains for provider compatibility). Transcript readers can use

+For a high-level overview, see [Onboarding Wizard](/start/wizard).
+
+## Flow details (local mode)
+
+<Steps>
+  <Step title="Existing config detection">
+    - If `~/.openclaw/openclaw.json` exists, choose **Keep / Modify / Reset**.
+    - Re-running the wizard does **not** wipe anything unless you explicitly choose **Reset**
+      (or pass `--reset`).
+    - If the config is invalid or contains legacy keys, the wizard stops and asks
+      you to run `openclaw doctor` before continuing.
+    - Reset uses `trash` (never `rm`) and offers scopes:
+      - Config only
+      - Config + credentials + sessions
+      - Full reset (also removes workspace)
+  </Step>
+  <Step title="Model/Auth">
+    - **Anthropic API key (recommended)**: uses `ANTHROPIC_API_KEY` if present or prompts for a key, then saves it for daemon use.
+    - **Anthropic OAuth (Claude Code CLI)**: on macOS the wizard checks Keychain item "Claude Code-credentials" (choose "Always Allow" so launchd starts don't block); on Linux/Windows it reuses `~/.claude/.credentials.json` if present.
+    - **Anthropic token (paste setup-token)**: run `claude setup-token` on any machine, then paste the token (you can name it; blank = default).
+    - **OpenAI Code (Codex) subscription (Codex CLI)**: if `~/.codex/auth.json` exists, the wizard can reuse it.
+    - **OpenAI Code (Codex) subscription (OAuth)**: browser flow; paste the `code#state`.
+      - Sets `agents.defaults.model` to `openai-codex/gpt-5.2` when model is unset or `openai/*`.
+    - **OpenAI API key**: uses `OPENAI_API_KEY` if present or prompts for a key, then saves it to `~/.openclaw/.env` so launchd can read it.
+    - **xAI (Grok) API key**: prompts for `XAI_API_KEY` and configures xAI as a model provider.
+    - **OpenCode Zen (multi-model proxy)**: prompts for `OPENCODE_API_KEY` (or `OPENCODE_ZEN_API_KEY`, get it at https://opencode.ai/auth).
+    - **API key**: stores the key for you.
+    - **Vercel AI Gateway (multi-model proxy)**: prompts for `AI_GATEWAY_API_KEY`.
+    - More detail: [Vercel AI Gateway](/providers/vercel-ai-gateway)
+    - **Cloudflare AI Gateway**: prompts for Account ID, Gateway ID, and `CLOUDFLARE_AI_GATEWAY_API_KEY`.
+    - More detail: [Cloudflare AI Gateway](/providers/cloudflare-ai-gateway)
+    - **MiniMax M2.1**: config is auto-written.

+    - **Synthetic (Anthropic-compatible)**: prompts for `SYNTHETIC_API_KEY`.
+    - More detail: [Synthetic](/providers/synthetic)
+    - **Moonshot (Kimi K2)**: config is auto-written.
+    - **Kimi Coding**: config is auto-written.
+    - More detail: [Moonshot AI (Kimi + Kimi Coding)](/providers/moonshot)
+    - **Skip**: no auth configured yet.
+    - Pick a default model from detected options (or enter provider/model manually).
+    - Wizard runs a model check and warns if the configured model is unknown or missing auth.
+    - OAuth credentials live in `~/.openclaw/credentials/oauth.json`; auth profiles live in `~/.openclaw/agents/<agentId>/agent/auth-profiles.json` (API keys + OAuth).

+    - Seeds the workspace files needed for the agent bootstrap ritual.
+    - Full workspace layout + backup guide: [Agent workspace](/concepts/agent-workspace)
+  </Step>
+  <Step title="Gateway">
+    - Port, bind, auth mode, tailscale exposure.
+    - Auth recommendation: keep **Token** even for loopback so local WS clients must authenticate.
+    - Disable auth only if you fully trust every local process.
+    - Non‑loopback binds still require auth.
+  </Step>
+  <Step title="Channels">
+    - [WhatsApp](/channels/whatsapp): optional QR login.
+    - [Telegram](/channels/telegram): bot token.
+    - [Discord](/channels/discord): bot token.
+    - [Google Chat](/channels/googlechat): service account JSON + webhook audience.
+    - [Mattermost](/channels/mattermost) (plugin): bot token + base URL.
+    - [Signal](/channels/signal): optional `signal-cli` install + account config.
+    - [BlueBubbles](/channels/bluebubbles): **recommended for iMessage**; server URL + password + webhook.
+    - [iMessage](/channels/imessage): legacy `imsg` CLI path + DB access.
+    - DM security: default is pairing. First DM sends a code; approve via `openclaw pairing approve <channel> <code>` or use allowlists.
+  </Step>
+  <Step title="Daemon install">
+    - macOS: LaunchAgent
+      - Requires a logged-in user session; for headless, use a custom LaunchDaemon (not shipped).
+    - Linux (and Windows via WSL2): systemd user unit
+      - Wizard attempts to enable lingering via `loginctl enable-linger <user>` so the Gateway stays up after logout.
+      - May prompt for sudo (writes `/var/lib/systemd/linger`); it tries without sudo first.
+    - **Runtime selection:** Node (recommended; required for WhatsApp/Telegram). Bun is **not recommended**.
+  </Step>
+  <Step title="Health check">
+    - Starts the Gateway (if needed) and runs `openclaw health`.
+    - Tip: `openclaw status --deep` adds gateway health probes to status output (requires a reachable gateway).
+  </Step>
+  <Step title="Skills (recommended)">
+    - Reads the available skills and checks requirements.
+    - Lets you choose a node manager: **npm / pnpm** (bun not recommended).
+    - Installs optional dependencies (some use Homebrew on macOS).
+  </Step>
+  <Step title="Finish">
+    - Summary + next steps, including iOS/Android/macOS apps for extra features.
+  </Step>
+</Steps>
+
+<Note>
+If no GUI is detected, the wizard prints SSH port-forward instructions for the Control UI instead of opening a browser.
+If the Control UI assets are missing, the wizard attempts to build them; fallback is `pnpm ui:build` (auto-installs UI deps).
+</Note>
+
+## Non-interactive mode
+
+Use `--non-interactive` to automate or script onboarding:
+
+```bash
+openclaw onboard --non-interactive \
+  --mode local \
+  --auth-choice apiKey \
+  --anthropic-api-key "$ANTHROPIC_API_KEY" \
+  --gateway-port 18789 \
+  --gateway-bind loopback \
+  --install-daemon \
+  --daemon-runtime node \
+  --skip-skills
+```
+
+Add `--json` for a machine‑readable summary.
+
+<Note>
+`--json` does **not** imply non-interactive mode. Use `--non-interactive` (and `--workspace`) for scripts.

+  --non-interactive \
+  --json
+```
+
+## Gateway wizard RPC
+
+The Gateway exposes the wizard flow over RPC (`wizard.start`, `wizard.next`, `wizard.cancel`, `wizard.status`).
+Clients (macOS app, Control UI) can render steps without re‑implementing onboarding logic.
+
+## Signal setup (signal-cli)
+
+The wizard can install `signal-cli` from GitHub releases:
+
+- Downloads the appropriate release asset.
+- Stores it under `~/.openclaw/tools/signal-cli/<version>/`.
+- Writes `channels.signal.cliPath` to your config.
+
+Notes:
+
+- JVM builds require **Java 21**.
+- Native builds are used when available.
+- Windows uses WSL2; signal-cli install follows the Linux flow inside WSL.
+
+## What the wizard writes
+
+Typical fields in `~/.openclaw/openclaw.json`:
+
+- `agents.defaults.workspace`
+- `agents.defaults.model` / `models.providers` (if Minimax chosen)
+- `gateway.*` (mode, bind, auth, tailscale)
+- `channels.telegram.botToken`, `channels.discord.token`, `channels.signal.*`, `channels.imessage.*`
+- Channel allowlists (Slack/Discord/Matrix/Microsoft Teams) when you opt in during the prompts (names resolve to IDs when possible).
+- `skills.install.nodeManager`
+- `wizard.lastRunAt`
+- `wizard.lastRunVersion`
+- `wizard.lastRunCommit`
+- `wizard.lastRunCommand`
+- `wizard.lastRunMode`
+
+`openclaw agents add` writes `agents.list[]` and optional `bindings`.
+
+WhatsApp credentials go under `~/.openclaw/credentials/whatsapp/<accountId>/`.
+Sessions are stored under `~/.openclaw/agents/<agentId>/sessions/`.
+
+Some channels are delivered as plugins. When you pick one during onboarding, the wizard
+will prompt to install it (npm or a local path) before it can be configured.

+# Contributing to the OpenClaw Threat Model
+
+Thanks for helping make OpenClaw more secure. This threat model is a living document and we welcome contributions from anyone - you don't need to be a security expert.
+
+## Ways to Contribute
+
+### Add a Threat
+
+Spotted an attack vector or risk we haven't covered? Open an issue on [openclaw/trust](https://github.com/openclaw/trust/issues) and describe it in your own words. You don't need to know any frameworks or fill in every field - just describe the scenario.
+
+**Helpful to include (but not required):**
+
+- The attack scenario and how it could be exploited
+- Which parts of OpenClaw are affected (CLI, gateway, channels, ClawHub, MCP servers, etc.)
+- How severe you think it is (low / medium / high / critical)
+- Any links to related research, CVEs, or real-world examples
+
+We'll handle the ATLAS mapping, threat IDs, and risk assessment during review. If you want to include those details, great - but it's not expected.
+
+> **This is for adding to the threat model, not reporting live vulnerabilities.** If you've found an exploitable vulnerability, see our [Trust page](https://trust.openclaw.ai) for responsible disclosure instructions.
+
+### Suggest a Mitigation
+
+Have an idea for how to address an existing threat? Open an issue or PR referencing the threat. Useful mitigations are specific and actionable - for example, "per-sender rate limiting of 10 messages/minute at the gateway" is better than "implement rate limiting."
+
+### Propose an Attack Chain
+
+Attack chains show how multiple threats combine into a realistic attack scenario. If you see a dangerous combination, describe the steps and how an attacker would chain them together. A short narrative of how the attack unfolds in practice is more valuable than a formal template.
+
+### Fix or Improve Existing Content
+
+Typos, clarifications, outdated info, better examples - PRs welcome, no issue needed.
+
+## What We Use
+
+### MITRE ATLAS
+
+This threat model is built on [MITRE ATLAS](https://atlas.mitre.org/) (Adversarial Threat Landscape for AI Systems), a framework designed specifically for AI/ML threats like prompt injection, tool misuse, and agent exploitation. You don't need to know ATLAS to contribute - we map submissions to the framework during review.
+
+### Threat IDs
+
+Each threat gets an ID like `T-EXEC-003`. The categories are:
+
+| Code    | Category                                   |
+| ------- | ------------------------------------------ |
+| RECON   | Reconnaissance - information gathering     |
+| ACCESS  | Initial access - gaining entry             |
+| EXEC    | Execution - running malicious actions      |
+| PERSIST | Persistence - maintaining access           |
+| EVADE   | Defense evasion - avoiding detection       |
+| DISC    | Discovery - learning about the environment |
+| EXFIL   | Exfiltration - stealing data               |
+| IMPACT  | Impact - damage or disruption              |
+
+IDs are assigned by maintainers during review. You don't need to pick one.
+
+### Risk Levels
+
+| Level        | Meaning                                                           |
+| ------------ | ----------------------------------------------------------------- |
+| **Critical** | Full system compromise, or high likelihood + critical impact      |
+| **High**     | Significant damage likely, or medium likelihood + critical impact |
+| **Medium**   | Moderate risk, or low likelihood + high impact                    |
+| **Low**      | Unlikely and limited impact                                       |
+
+If you're unsure about the risk level, just describe the impact and we'll assess it.
+
+## Review Process
+
+1. **Triage** - We review new submissions within 48 hours
+2. **Assessment** - We verify feasibility, assign ATLAS mapping and threat ID, validate risk level
+3. **Documentation** - We ensure everything is formatted and complete
+4. **Merge** - Added to the threat model and visualization

+| -------------------- | --------------------------- | ---------------------------------------------------- |
+| GitHub Account Age   | `requireGitHubAccountAge()` | Medium - Raises bar for new attackers                |
+| Path Sanitization    | `sanitizePath()`            | High - Prevents path traversal                       |
+| File Type Validation | `isTextFile()`              | Medium - Only text files, but can still be malicious |
+| Size Limits          | 50MB total bundle           | High - Prevents resource exhaustion                  |
+| Required SKILL.md    | Mandatory readme            | Low security value - Informational only              |
+| Pattern Moderation   | FLAG_RULES in moderation.ts | Low - Easily bypassed                                |
+| Moderation Status    | `moderationStatus` field    | Medium - Manual review possible                      |
+
+### 4.2 Moderation Flag Patterns
+
+Current patterns in `moderation.ts`:
+
+```javascript
+// Known-bad identifiers
+/(keepcold131\/ClawdAuthenticatorTool|ClawdAuthenticatorTool)/i
+
+// Suspicious keywords
+/(malware|stealer|phish|phishing|keylogger)/i

+/(discord\.gg|webhook|hooks\.slack)/i
+/(curl[^\n]+\|\s*(sh|bash))/i
+/(bit\.ly|tinyurl\.com|t\.co|goo\.gl|is\.gd)/i
+```
+
+**Limitations:**
+
+- Only checks slug, displayName, summary, frontmatter, metadata, file paths
+- Does not analyze actual skill code content
+- Simple regex easily bypassed with obfuscation
+- No behavioral analysis

+# Agent Bootstrapping
+
+Bootstrapping is the **first‑run** ritual that prepares an agent workspace and
+collects identity details. It happens after onboarding, when the agent starts
+for the first time.
+
+## What bootstrapping does
+
+On the first agent run, OpenClaw bootstraps the workspace (default
+`~/.openclaw/workspace`):
+
+- Seeds `AGENTS.md`, `BOOTSTRAP.md`, `IDENTITY.md`, `USER.md`.
+- Runs a short Q&A ritual (one question at a time).
+- Writes identity + preferences to `IDENTITY.md`, `USER.md`, `SOUL.md`.
+- Removes `BOOTSTRAP.md` when finished so it only runs once.
+
+## Where it runs
+
+Bootstrapping always runs on the **gateway host**. If the macOS app connects to
+a remote Gateway, the workspace and bootstrapping files live on that remote
+machine.
+
+<Note>
+When the Gateway runs on another machine, edit workspace files on the gateway
+host (for example, `user@gateway-host:~/.openclaw/workspace`).
+</Note>

 # Getting Started
 
-Goal: go from **zero** → **first working chat** (with sane defaults) as quickly as possible.
+Goal: go from zero to a first working chat with minimal setup.
 
+<Info>
 Fastest chat: open the Control UI (no channel setup needed). Run `openclaw dashboard`
-and chat in the browser, or open `http://127.0.0.1:18789/` on the gateway host.
+and chat in the browser, or open `http://127.0.0.1:18789/` on the
+<Tooltip headline="Gateway host" tip="The machine running the OpenClaw gateway service.">gateway host</Tooltip>.
 Docs: [Dashboard](/web/dashboard) and [Control UI](/web/control-ui).
-
-Recommended path: use the **CLI onboarding wizard** (`openclaw onboard`). It sets up:
-
-- model/auth (OAuth recommended)
-- gateway settings
-- channels (WhatsApp/Telegram/Discord/Mattermost (plugin)/...)
-- pairing defaults (secure DMs)
-- workspace bootstrap + skills
-- optional background service
-
-If you want the deeper reference pages, jump to: [Wizard](/start/wizard), [Setup](/start/setup), [Pairing](/start/pairing), [Security](/gateway/security).
-
-Sandboxing note: `agents.defaults.sandbox.mode: "non-main"` uses `session.mainKey` (default `"main"`),
-so group/channel sessions are sandboxed. If you want the main agent to always
-run on host, set an explicit per-agent override:
-
-```json
-{
-  "routing": {
-    "agents": {
-      "main": {
-        "workspace": "~/.openclaw/workspace",
-        "sandbox": { "mode": "off" }
-      }
-    }
-  }
-}
-```
-
-## 0) Prereqs
-
-- Node `>=22`
-- `pnpm` (optional; recommended if you build from source)
-- **Recommended:** Brave Search API key for web search. Easiest path:
-  `openclaw configure --section web` (stores `tools.web.search.apiKey`).
-  See [Web tools](/tools/web).
-
-macOS: if you plan to build the apps, install Xcode / CLT. For the CLI + gateway only, Node is enough.
-Windows: use **WSL2** (Ubuntu recommended). WSL2 is strongly recommended; native Windows is untested, more problematic, and has poorer tool compatibility. Install WSL2 first, then run the Linux steps inside WSL. See [Windows (WSL2)](/platforms/windows).
-
-## 1) Install the CLI (recommended)
-
-```bash
-curl -fsSL https://openclaw.ai/install.sh | bash
-```
-
-Installer options (install method, non-interactive, from GitHub): [Install](/install).
-
-Windows (PowerShell):
-
-```powershell
-iwr -useb https://openclaw.ai/install.ps1 | iex
-```
-
-Alternative (global install):
-
-```bash
-npm install -g openclaw@latest
-```
-
-```bash
-pnpm add -g openclaw@latest
-```
-
-## 2) Run the onboarding wizard (and install the service)
-
-```bash
-openclaw onboard --install-daemon
-```
-
-What you’ll choose:
-
-- **Local vs Remote** gateway
-- **Auth**: OpenAI Code (Codex) subscription (OAuth) or API keys. For Anthropic we recommend an API key; `claude setup-token` is also supported.
-- **Providers**: WhatsApp QR login, Telegram/Discord bot tokens, Mattermost plugin tokens, etc.
-- **Daemon**: background install (launchd/systemd; WSL2 uses systemd)
-  - **Runtime**: Node (recommended; required for WhatsApp/Telegram). Bun is **not recommended**.
-- **Gateway token**: the wizard generates one by default (even on loopback) and stores it in `gateway.auth.token`.
-
-Wizard doc: [Wizard](/start/wizard)
-
-### Auth: where it lives (important)
-
-- **Recommended Anthropic path:** set an API key (wizard can store it for service use). `claude setup-token` is also supported if you want to reuse Claude Code credentials.
-
-- OAuth credentials (legacy import): `~/.openclaw/credentials/oauth.json`
-- Auth profiles (OAuth + API keys): `~/.openclaw/agents/<agentId>/agent/auth-profiles.json`
-
-Headless/server tip: do OAuth on a normal machine first, then copy `oauth.json` to the gateway host.
-
-## 3) Start the Gateway
-
-If you installed the service during onboarding, the Gateway should already be running:

-
-### Telegram / Discord / others
-
-The wizard can write tokens/config for you. If you prefer manual config, start with:
-
-- Telegram: [Telegram](/channels/telegram)
-- Discord: [Discord](/channels/discord)
-- Mattermost (plugin): [Mattermost](/channels/mattermost)
-
-**Telegram DM tip:** your first DM returns a pairing code. Approve it (see next step) or the bot won’t respond.
-
-## 5) DM safety (pairing approvals)
-
-Default posture: unknown DMs get a short code and messages are not processed until approved.
-If your first DM gets no reply, approve the pairing:
-
-```bash
-openclaw pairing list whatsapp
-openclaw pairing approve whatsapp <code>
-```
-

-
-## From source (development)
-
-If you’re hacking on OpenClaw itself, run from source:
-
-```bash
-git clone https://github.com/openclaw/openclaw.git
-cd openclaw
-pnpm install
-pnpm ui:build # auto-installs UI deps on first run
-pnpm build
-openclaw onboard --install-daemon
-```
-
-If you don’t have a global install yet, run the onboarding step via `pnpm openclaw ...` from the repo.
-`pnpm build` also bundles A2UI assets; if you need to run just that step, use `pnpm canvas:a2ui:bundle`.
-
-Gateway (from this repo):
-
-```bash
-node openclaw.mjs gateway --port 18789 --verbose
-```
-
-## 7) Verify end-to-end
-
-In a new terminal, send a test message:
-
-```bash
-openclaw message send --target +15555550123 --message "Hello from OpenClaw"
-```
-
-If `openclaw health` shows “no auth configured”, go back to the wizard and set OAuth/key auth — the agent won’t be able to respond without it.
-
-Tip: `openclaw status --all` is the best pasteable, read-only debug report.
-Health probes: `openclaw health` (or `openclaw status --deep`) asks the running gateway for a health snapshot.

+
+OpenClaw supports multiple onboarding paths depending on where the Gateway runs
+and how you prefer to configure providers.
+
+## Choose your onboarding path
+
+- **CLI wizard** for macOS, Linux, and Windows (via WSL2).
+- **macOS app** for a guided first run on Apple silicon or Intel Macs.
+
+## CLI onboarding wizard
+
+Run the wizard in a terminal:
+
+```bash
+openclaw onboard
+```
+
+Use the CLI wizard when you want full control of the Gateway, workspace,
+channels, and skills. Docs:
+
+- [Onboarding Wizard (CLI)](/start/wizard)
+- [`openclaw onboard` command](/cli/onboard)
+
+## macOS app onboarding
+
+Use the OpenClaw app when you want a fully guided setup on macOS. Docs:
+
+- [Onboarding (macOS App)](/start/onboarding)
+
+## Custom Provider
+
+If you need an endpoint that is not listed, including hosted providers that
+expose standard OpenAI or Anthropic APIs, choose **Custom Provider** in the
+CLI wizard. You will be asked to:
+
+- Pick OpenAI-compatible, Anthropic-compatible, or **Unknown** (auto-detect).
+- Enter a base URL and API key (if required by the provider).
+- Provide a model ID and optional alias.
+- Choose an Endpoint ID so multiple custom endpoints can coexist.
+
+For detailed steps, follow the CLI onboarding docs above.

 Where does the **Gateway** run?
 
-- **Local (this Mac):** onboarding can run OAuth flows and write credentials
+- **This Mac (Local only):** onboarding can run OAuth flows and write credentials
   locally.
 - **Remote (over SSH/Tailnet):** onboarding does **not** run OAuth locally;
   credentials must exist on the gateway host.
 - **Configure later:** skip setup and leave the app unconfigured.
 
-Gateway auth tip:
-
+<Tip>
+**Gateway auth tip:**
 - The wizard now generates a **token** even for loopback, so local WS clients must authenticate.
 - If you disable auth, any local process can connect; use that only on fully trusted machines.
 - Use a **token** for multi‑machine access or non‑loopback binds.
-
-## 3) Local-only auth (Anthropic OAuth)
-
-The macOS app supports Anthropic OAuth (Claude Pro/Max). The flow:
-
-- Opens the browser for OAuth (PKCE)
-- Asks the user to paste the `code#state` value
-- Writes credentials to `~/.openclaw/credentials/oauth.json`
-
-Other providers (OpenAI, custom APIs) are configured via environment variables
-or config files for now.
-
-## 4) Setup Wizard (Gateway‑driven)
-
-The app can run the same setup wizard as the CLI. This keeps onboarding in sync
-with Gateway‑side behavior and avoids duplicating logic in SwiftUI.
-
-## 5) Permissions
+</Tip>
+</Step>
+<Step title="Permissions">
+<Frame caption="Choose what permissions do you want to give OpenClaw">
+<img src="/assets/macos-onboarding/05-permissions.png" alt="" />
+</Frame>
 
 Onboarding requests TCC permissions needed for:
 
+- Automation (AppleScript)
 - Notifications
 - Accessibility
 - Screen Recording
-- Microphone / Speech Recognition
-- Automation (AppleScript)
-
-## 6) CLI (optional)
-
-The app can install the global `openclaw` CLI via npm/pnpm so terminal
-workflows and launchd tasks work out of the box.
-
-## 7) Onboarding chat (dedicated session)
-
-After setup, the app opens a dedicated onboarding chat session so the agent can
-introduce itself and guide next steps. This keeps first‑run guidance separate
-from your normal conversation.
-
-## Agent bootstrap ritual
-
-On the first agent run, OpenClaw bootstraps a workspace (default `~/.openclaw/workspace`):
-
-- Seeds `AGENTS.md`, `BOOTSTRAP.md`, `IDENTITY.md`, `USER.md`
-- Runs a short Q&A ritual (one question at a time)
-- Writes identity + preferences to `IDENTITY.md`, `USER.md`, `SOUL.md`
-- Removes `BOOTSTRAP.md` when finished so it only runs once
-
-## Optional: Gmail hooks (manual)
-
-Gmail Pub/Sub setup is currently a manual step. Use:
-
-```bash
-openclaw webhooks gmail setup --account you@gmail.com
-```
-
-See [/automation/gmail-pubsub](/automation/gmail-pubsub) for details.
-
-## Remote mode notes
-
-When the Gateway runs on another machine, credentials and workspace files live
-**on that host**. If you need OAuth in remote mode, create:
-
-- `~/.openclaw/credentials/oauth.json`
-- `~/.openclaw/agents/<agentId>/agent/auth-profiles.json`
-
-on the gateway host.

-# Pairing
-
-“Pairing” is OpenClaw’s explicit **owner approval** step.
-It is used in two places:
-
-1. **DM pairing** (who is allowed to talk to the bot)
-2. **Node pairing** (which devices/nodes are allowed to join the gateway network)
-
-Security context: [Security](/gateway/security)
-
-## 1) DM pairing (inbound chat access)
-
-When a channel is configured with DM policy `pairing`, unknown senders get a short code and their message is **not processed** until you approve.
-
-Default DM policies are documented in: [Security](/gateway/security)
-
-Pairing codes:
-
-- 8 characters, uppercase, no ambiguous chars (`0O1I`).
-- **Expire after 1 hour**. The bot only sends the pairing message when a new request is created (roughly once per hour per sender).
-- Pending DM pairing requests are capped at **3 per channel** by default; additional requests are ignored until one expires or is approved.
-
-### Approve a sender
-
-```bash
-openclaw pairing list telegram
-openclaw pairing approve telegram <CODE>
-```
-
-Supported channels: `telegram`, `whatsapp`, `signal`, `imessage`, `discord`, `slack`.
-
-### Where the state lives
-
-Stored under `~/.openclaw/credentials/`:
-
-- Pending requests: `<channel>-pairing.json`
-- Approved allowlist store: `<channel>-allowFrom.json`
-
-Treat these as sensitive (they gate access to your assistant).
-
-## 2) Node device pairing (iOS/Android/macOS/headless nodes)
-
-Nodes connect to the Gateway as **devices** with `role: node`. The Gateway
-creates a device pairing request that must be approved.
-
-### Approve a node device
-
-```bash
-openclaw devices list
-openclaw devices approve <requestId>
-openclaw devices reject <requestId>
-```
-
-### Where the state lives
-
-Stored under `~/.openclaw/devices/`:
-
-- `pending.json` (short-lived; pending requests expire)
-- `paired.json` (paired devices + tokens)
-
-### Notes
-
-- The legacy `node.pair.*` API (CLI: `openclaw nodes pending/approve`) is a
-  separate gateway-owned pairing store. WS nodes still require device pairing.

+- `agents.list[].workspace`
+- `agents.list[].agentDir`
+
+Notes:
+

+# CLI Onboarding Reference
+
+This page is the full reference for `openclaw onboard`.
+For the short guide, see [Onboarding Wizard (CLI)](/start/wizard).
+
+## What the wizard does
+
+Local mode (default) walks you through:
+
+- Model and auth setup (OpenAI Code subscription OAuth, Anthropic API key or setup token, plus MiniMax, GLM, Moonshot, and AI Gateway options)
+- Workspace location and bootstrap files
+- Gateway settings (port, bind, auth, tailscale)
+- Channels and providers (Telegram, WhatsApp, Discord, Google Chat, Mattermost plugin, Signal)
+- Daemon install (LaunchAgent or systemd user unit)
+- Health check
+- Skills setup
+
+Remote mode configures this machine to connect to a gateway elsewhere.
+It does not install or modify anything on the remote host.
+
+## Local flow details
+
+<Steps>
+  <Step title="Existing config detection">
+    - If `~/.openclaw/openclaw.json` exists, choose Keep, Modify, or Reset.
+    - Re-running the wizard does not wipe anything unless you explicitly choose Reset (or pass `--reset`).
+    - If config is invalid or contains legacy keys, the wizard stops and asks you to run `openclaw doctor` before continuing.
+    - Reset uses `trash` and offers scopes:
+      - Config only
+      - Config + credentials + sessions
+      - Full reset (also removes workspace)
+  </Step>
+  <Step title="Model and auth">
+    - Full option matrix is in [Auth and model options](#auth-and-model-options).
+  </Step>
+  <Step title="Workspace">
+    - Default `~/.openclaw/workspace` (configurable).
+    - Seeds workspace files needed for first-run bootstrap ritual.
+    - Workspace layout: [Agent workspace](/concepts/agent-workspace).
+  </Step>
+  <Step title="Gateway">
+    - Prompts for port, bind, auth mode, and tailscale exposure.
+    - Recommended: keep token auth enabled even for loopback so local WS clients must authenticate.
+    - Disable auth only if you fully trust every local process.
+    - Non-loopback binds still require auth.
+  </Step>
+  <Step title="Channels">
+    - [WhatsApp](/channels/whatsapp): optional QR login
+    - [Telegram](/channels/telegram): bot token
+    - [Discord](/channels/discord): bot token
+    - [Google Chat](/channels/googlechat): service account JSON + webhook audience
+    - [Mattermost](/channels/mattermost) plugin: bot token + base URL
+    - [Signal](/channels/signal): optional `signal-cli` install + account config
+    - [BlueBubbles](/channels/bluebubbles): recommended for iMessage; server URL + password + webhook
+    - [iMessage](/channels/imessage): legacy `imsg` CLI path + DB access
+    - DM security: default is pairing. First DM sends a code; approve via
+      `openclaw pairing approve <channel> <code>` or use allowlists.
+  </Step>
+  <Step title="Daemon install">
+    - macOS: LaunchAgent
+      - Requires logged-in user session; for headless, use a custom LaunchDaemon (not shipped).
+    - Linux and Windows via WSL2: systemd user unit
+      - Wizard attempts `loginctl enable-linger <user>` so gateway stays up after logout.
+      - May prompt for sudo (writes `/var/lib/systemd/linger`); it tries without sudo first.
+    - Runtime selection: Node (recommended; required for WhatsApp and Telegram). Bun is not recommended.
+  </Step>
+  <Step title="Health check">
+    - Starts gateway (if needed) and runs `openclaw health`.
+    - `openclaw status --deep` adds gateway health probes to status output.
+  </Step>
+  <Step title="Skills">
+    - Reads available skills and checks requirements.
+    - Lets you choose node manager: npm or pnpm (bun not recommended).
+    - Installs optional dependencies (some use Homebrew on macOS).
+  </Step>
+  <Step title="Finish">
+    - Summary and next steps, including iOS, Android, and macOS app options.
+  </Step>
+</Steps>
+
+<Note>
+If no GUI is detected, the wizard prints SSH port-forward instructions for the Control UI instead of opening a browser.
+If Control UI assets are missing, the wizard attempts to build them; fallback is `pnpm ui:build` (auto-installs UI deps).
+</Note>
+
+## Remote mode details
+
+Remote mode configures this machine to connect to a gateway elsewhere.
+
+<Info>
+Remote mode does not install or modify anything on the remote host.
+</Info>
+
+What you set:
+
+- Remote gateway URL (`ws://...`)
+- Token if remote gateway auth is required (recommended)
+
+<Note>
+- If gateway is loopback-only, use SSH tunneling or a tailnet.
+- Discovery hints:
+  - macOS: Bonjour (`dns-sd`)
+  - Linux: Avahi (`avahi-browse`)
+</Note>

+
+Model behavior:
+
+- Pick default model from detected options, or enter provider and model manually.
+- Wizard runs a model check and warns if the configured model is unknown or missing auth.
+
+Credential and profile paths:
+
+- OAuth credentials: `~/.openclaw/credentials/oauth.json`
+- Auth profiles (API keys + OAuth): `~/.openclaw/agents/<agentId>/agent/auth-profiles.json`
+
+<Note>
+Headless and server tip: complete OAuth on a machine with a browser, then copy
+`~/.openclaw/credentials/oauth.json` (or `$OPENCLAW_STATE_DIR/credentials/oauth.json`)
+to the gateway host.
+</Note>
+
+## Outputs and internals
+
+Typical fields in `~/.openclaw/openclaw.json`:
+
+- `agents.defaults.workspace`
+- `agents.defaults.model` / `models.providers` (if Minimax chosen)
+- `gateway.*` (mode, bind, auth, tailscale)
+- `channels.telegram.botToken`, `channels.discord.token`, `channels.signal.*`, `channels.imessage.*`
+- Channel allowlists (Slack, Discord, Matrix, Microsoft Teams) when you opt in during prompts (names resolve to IDs when possible)
+- `skills.install.nodeManager`
+- `wizard.lastRunAt`
+- `wizard.lastRunVersion`
+- `wizard.lastRunCommit`
+- `wizard.lastRunCommand`
+- `wizard.lastRunMode`
+
+`openclaw agents add` writes `agents.list[]` and optional `bindings`.
+
+WhatsApp credentials go under `~/.openclaw/credentials/whatsapp/<accountId>/`.
+Sessions are stored under `~/.openclaw/agents/<agentId>/sessions/`.
+
+<Note>
+Some channels are delivered as plugins. When selected during onboarding, the wizard
+prompts to install the plugin (npm or local path) before channel configuration.
+</Note>
+
+Gateway wizard RPC:
+
+- `wizard.start`
+- `wizard.next`
+- `wizard.cancel`
+- `wizard.status`
+
+Clients (macOS app and Control UI) can render steps without re-implementing onboarding logic.
+
+Signal setup behavior:
+
+- Downloads the appropriate release asset
+- Stores it under `~/.openclaw/tools/signal-cli/<version>/`
+- Writes `channels.signal.cliPath` in config
+- JVM builds require Java 21
+- Native builds are used when available
+- Windows uses WSL2 and follows Linux signal-cli flow inside WSL

 ## QuickStart vs Advanced
 
 The wizard starts with **QuickStart** (defaults) vs **Advanced** (full control).
 
-**QuickStart** keeps the defaults:
-
-- Local gateway (loopback)
-- Workspace default (or existing workspace)
-- Gateway port **18789**
-- Gateway auth **Token** (auto‑generated, even on loopback)
-- Tailscale exposure **Off**
-- Telegram + WhatsApp DMs default to **allowlist** (you’ll be prompted for your phone number)
-
-**Advanced** exposes every step (mode, workspace, gateway, channels, daemon, skills).
-
-## What the wizard does
-
-**Local mode (default)** walks you through:
-
-- Model/auth (OpenAI Code (Codex) subscription OAuth, Anthropic API key (recommended) or setup-token (paste), plus MiniMax/GLM/Moonshot/AI Gateway options)
-- Workspace location + bootstrap files
-- Gateway settings (port/bind/auth/tailscale)

-- Daemon install (LaunchAgent / systemd user unit)
-- Health check
-- Skills (recommended)

+  <Tab title="Advanced (full control)">
+    - Exposes every step (mode, workspace, gateway, channels, daemon, skills).
+  </Tab>
+</Tabs>
+
+## What the wizard configures
+
+**Local mode (default)** walks you through these steps:
+
+1. **Model/Auth** — Anthropic API key (recommended), OpenAI, or Custom Provider
+   (OpenAI-compatible, Anthropic-compatible, or Unknown auto-detect). Pick a default model.
+2. **Workspace** — Location for agent files (default `~/.openclaw/workspace`). Seeds bootstrap files.
+3. **Gateway** — Port, bind address, auth mode, Tailscale exposure.
+4. **Channels** — WhatsApp, Telegram, Discord, Google Chat, Mattermost, Signal, BlueBubbles, or iMessage.
+5. **Daemon** — Installs a LaunchAgent (macOS) or systemd user unit (Linux/WSL2).
+6. **Health check** — Starts the Gateway and verifies it's running.
+7. **Skills** — Installs recommended skills and optional dependencies.
+
+<Note>
+Re-running the wizard does **not** wipe anything unless you explicitly choose **Reset** (or pass `--reset`).
+If the config is invalid or contains legacy keys, the wizard asks you to run `openclaw doctor` first.
+</Note>
 
 **Remote mode** only configures the local client to connect to a Gateway elsewhere.
 It does **not** install or change anything on the remote host.
 
-To add more isolated agents (separate workspace + sessions + auth), use:
-
-```bash
-openclaw agents add <name>
-```
-
-Tip: `--json` does **not** imply non-interactive mode. Use `--non-interactive` (and `--workspace`) for scripts.
-
-## Flow details (local)
-
-1. **Existing config detection**
-   - If `~/.openclaw/openclaw.json` exists, choose **Keep / Modify / Reset**.
-   - Re-running the wizard does **not** wipe anything unless you explicitly choose **Reset**
-     (or pass `--reset`).
-   - If the config is invalid or contains legacy keys, the wizard stops and asks
-     you to run `openclaw doctor` before continuing.
-   - Reset uses `trash` (never `rm`) and offers scopes:
-     - Config only
-     - Config + credentials + sessions
-     - Full reset (also removes workspace)
-
-2. **Model/Auth**
-   - **Anthropic API key (recommended)**: uses `ANTHROPIC_API_KEY` if present or prompts for a key, then saves it for daemon use.
-   - **Anthropic OAuth (Claude Code CLI)**: on macOS the wizard checks Keychain item "Claude Code-credentials" (choose "Always Allow" so launchd starts don't block); on Linux/Windows it reuses `~/.claude/.credentials.json` if present.
-   - **Anthropic token (paste setup-token)**: run `claude setup-token` on any machine, then paste the token (you can name it; blank = default).
-   - **OpenAI Code (Codex) subscription (Codex CLI)**: if `~/.codex/auth.json` exists, the wizard can reuse it.
-   - **OpenAI Code (Codex) subscription (OAuth)**: browser flow; paste the `code#state`.
-     - Sets `agents.defaults.model` to `openai-codex/gpt-5.2` when model is unset or `openai/*`.
-   - **OpenAI API key**: uses `OPENAI_API_KEY` if present or prompts for a key, then saves it to `~/.openclaw/.env` so launchd can read it.
-   - **OpenCode Zen (multi-model proxy)**: prompts for `OPENCODE_API_KEY` (or `OPENCODE_ZEN_API_KEY`, get it at https://opencode.ai/auth).
-   - **API key**: stores the key for you.
-   - **Vercel AI Gateway (multi-model proxy)**: prompts for `AI_GATEWAY_API_KEY`.
-   - More detail: [Vercel AI Gateway](/providers/vercel-ai-gateway)
-   - **Cloudflare AI Gateway**: prompts for Account ID, Gateway ID, and `CLOUDFLARE_AI_GATEWAY_API_KEY`.
-   - More detail: [Cloudflare AI Gateway](/providers/cloudflare-ai-gateway)
-   - **MiniMax M2.1**: config is auto-written.
-   - More detail: [MiniMax](/providers/minimax)
-   - **Synthetic (Anthropic-compatible)**: prompts for `SYNTHETIC_API_KEY`.
-   - More detail: [Synthetic](/providers/synthetic)
-   - **Moonshot (Kimi K2)**: config is auto-written.
-   - **Kimi Coding**: config is auto-written.
-   - More detail: [Moonshot AI (Kimi + Kimi Coding)](/providers/moonshot)
-   - **Skip**: no auth configured yet.
-   - Pick a default model from detected options (or enter provider/model manually).
-   - Wizard runs a model check and warns if the configured model is unknown or missing auth.
-
-- OAuth credentials live in `~/.openclaw/credentials/oauth.json`; auth profiles live in `~/.openclaw/agents/<agentId>/agent/auth-profiles.json` (API keys + OAuth).
-- More detail: [/concepts/oauth](/concepts/oauth)
-
-3. **Workspace**
-   - Default `~/.openclaw/workspace` (configurable).
-   - Seeds the workspace files needed for the agent bootstrap ritual.
-   - Full workspace layout + backup guide: [Agent workspace](/concepts/agent-workspace)
-
-4. **Gateway**
-   - Port, bind, auth mode, tailscale exposure.
-   - Auth recommendation: keep **Token** even for loopback so local WS clients must authenticate.
-   - Disable auth only if you fully trust every local process.
-   - Non‑loopback binds still require auth.
-
-5. **Channels**
-   - [WhatsApp](/channels/whatsapp): optional QR login.
-   - [Telegram](/channels/telegram): bot token.
-   - [Discord](/channels/discord): bot token.
-   - [Google Chat](/channels/googlechat): service account JSON + webhook audience.
-   - [Mattermost](/channels/mattermost) (plugin): bot token + base URL.
-   - [Signal](/channels/signal): optional `signal-cli` install + account config.
-   - [BlueBubbles](/channels/bluebubbles): **recommended for iMessage**; server URL + password + webhook.
-   - [iMessage](/channels/imessage): legacy `imsg` CLI path + DB access.
-   - DM security: default is pairing. First DM sends a code; approve via `openclaw pairing approve <channel> <code>` or use allowlists.
-
-6. **Daemon install**
-   - macOS: LaunchAgent
-     - Requires a logged-in user session; for headless, use a custom LaunchDaemon (not shipped).
-   - Linux (and Windows via WSL2): systemd user unit
-     - Wizard attempts to enable lingering via `loginctl enable-linger <user>` so the Gateway stays up after logout.
-     - May prompt for sudo (writes `/var/lib/systemd/linger`); it tries without sudo first.
-   - **Runtime selection:** Node (recommended; required for WhatsApp/Telegram). Bun is **not recommended**.
-
-7. **Health check**
-   - Starts the Gateway (if needed) and runs `openclaw health`.
-   - Tip: `openclaw status --deep` adds gateway health probes to status output (requires a reachable gateway).
-
-8. **Skills (recommended)**
-   - Reads the available skills and checks requirements.
-   - Lets you choose a node manager: **npm / pnpm** (bun not recommended).
-   - Installs optional dependencies (some use Homebrew on macOS).
-
-9. **Finish**
-   - Summary + next steps, including iOS/Android/macOS apps for extra features.
-
-- If no GUI is detected, the wizard prints SSH port-forward instructions for the Control UI instead of opening a browser.
-- If the Control UI assets are missing, the wizard attempts to build them; fallback is `pnpm ui:build` (auto-installs UI deps).
-
-## Remote mode
-
-Remote mode configures a local client to connect to a Gateway elsewhere.
-
-What you’ll set:
-
-- Remote Gateway URL (`ws://...`)
-- Token if the remote Gateway requires auth (recommended)
-
-Notes:
-
-- No remote installs or daemon changes are performed.
-- If the Gateway is loopback‑only, use SSH tunneling or a tailnet.
-- Discovery hints:
-  - macOS: Bonjour (`dns-sd`)
-  - Linux: Avahi (`avahi-browse`)

-## Gateway wizard RPC
-
-The Gateway exposes the wizard flow over RPC (`wizard.start`, `wizard.next`, `wizard.cancel`, `wizard.status`).
-Clients (macOS app, Control UI) can render steps without re‑implementing onboarding logic.
-
-## Signal setup (signal-cli)
-
-The wizard can install `signal-cli` from GitHub releases:
-
-- Downloads the appropriate release asset.
-- Stores it under `~/.openclaw/tools/signal-cli/<version>/`.
-- Writes `channels.signal.cliPath` to your config.
-
-Notes:
-
-- JVM builds require **Java 21**.
-- Native builds are used when available.
-- Windows uses WSL2; signal-cli install follows the Linux flow inside WSL.
-
-## What the wizard writes
-
-Typical fields in `~/.openclaw/openclaw.json`:
-
-- `agents.defaults.workspace`
-- `agents.defaults.model` / `models.providers` (if Minimax chosen)
-- `gateway.*` (mode, bind, auth, tailscale)
-- `channels.telegram.botToken`, `channels.discord.token`, `channels.signal.*`, `channels.imessage.*`
-- Channel allowlists (Slack/Discord/Matrix/Microsoft Teams) when you opt in during the prompts (names resolve to IDs when possible).
-- `skills.install.nodeManager`
-- `wizard.lastRunAt`
-- `wizard.lastRunVersion`
-- `wizard.lastRunCommit`
-- `wizard.lastRunCommand`
-- `wizard.lastRunMode`
-
-`openclaw agents add` writes `agents.list[]` and optional `bindings`.
-
-WhatsApp credentials go under `~/.openclaw/credentials/whatsapp/<accountId>/`.
-Sessions are stored under `~/.openclaw/agents/<agentId>/sessions/`.
+## Full reference
 
-Some channels are delivered as plugins. When you pick one during onboarding, the wizard
-will prompt to install it (npm or a local path) before it can be configured.
+For detailed step-by-step breakdowns, non-interactive scripting, Signal setup,
+RPC API, and a full list of config fields the wizard writes, see the

-summary: "Testing kit: unit/e2e/live suites, Docker runners, and what each test covers"
-read_when:
-  - Running tests locally or in CI
-  - Adding regressions for model/provider bugs
-  - Debugging gateway + agent behavior
-title: "Testing"
----
-
-# Testing
-
-OpenClaw has three Vitest suites (unit/integration, e2e, live) and a small set of Docker runners.
-
-This doc is a “how we test” guide:
-
-- What each suite covers (and what it deliberately does _not_ cover)
-- Which commands to run for common workflows (local, pre-push, debugging)
-- How live tests discover credentials and select models/providers
-- How to add regressions for real-world model/provider issues
-
-## Quick start
-
-Most days:
-
-- Full gate (expected before push): `pnpm build && pnpm check && pnpm test`
-
-When you touch tests or want extra confidence:
-
-- Coverage gate: `pnpm test:coverage`
-- E2E suite: `pnpm test:e2e`
-
-When debugging real providers/models (requires real creds):
-
-- Live suite (models + gateway tool/image probes): `pnpm test:live`
-
-Tip: when you only need one failing case, prefer narrowing live tests via the allowlist env vars described below.
-
-## Test suites (what runs where)
-
-Think of the suites as “increasing realism” (and increasing flakiness/cost):
-
-### Unit / integration (default)
-
-- Command: `pnpm test`
-- Config: `vitest.config.ts`
-- Files: `src/**/*.test.ts`
-- Scope:
-  - Pure unit tests
-  - In-process integration tests (gateway auth, routing, tooling, parsing, config)
-  - Deterministic regressions for known bugs
-- Expectations:
-  - Runs in CI
-  - No real keys required
-  - Should be fast and stable
-
-### E2E (gateway smoke)
-
-- Command: `pnpm test:e2e`
-- Config: `vitest.e2e.config.ts`
-- Files: `src/**/*.e2e.test.ts`
-- Scope:
-  - Multi-instance gateway end-to-end behavior
-  - WebSocket/HTTP surfaces, node pairing, and heavier networking
-- Expectations:
-  - Runs in CI (when enabled in the pipeline)
-  - No real keys required
-  - More moving parts than unit tests (can be slower)
-
-### Live (real providers + real models)
-
-- Command: `pnpm test:live`
-- Config: `vitest.live.config.ts`
-- Files: `src/**/*.live.test.ts`
-- Default: **enabled** by `pnpm test:live` (sets `OPENCLAW_LIVE_TEST=1`)
-- Scope:
-  - “Does this provider/model actually work _today_ with real creds?”
-  - Catch provider format changes, tool-calling quirks, auth issues, and rate limit behavior
-- Expectations:
-  - Not CI-stable by design (real networks, real provider policies, quotas, outages)
-  - Costs money / uses rate limits
-  - Prefer running narrowed subsets instead of “everything”
-  - Live runs will source `~/.profile` to pick up missing API keys
-  - Anthropic key rotation: set `OPENCLAW_LIVE_ANTHROPIC_KEYS="sk-...,sk-..."` (or `OPENCLAW_LIVE_ANTHROPIC_KEY=sk-...`) or multiple `ANTHROPIC_API_KEY*` vars; tests will retry on rate limits
-
-## Which suite should I run?
-
-Use this decision table:
-
-- Editing logic/tests: run `pnpm test` (and `pnpm test:coverage` if you changed a lot)
-- Touching gateway networking / WS protocol / pairing: add `pnpm test:e2e`
-- Debugging “my bot is down” / provider-specific failures / tool calling: run a narrowed `pnpm test:live`
-
-## Live: model smoke (profile keys)
-
-Live tests are split into two layers so we can isolate failures:
-
-- “Direct model” tells us the provider/model can answer at all with the given key.
-- “Gateway smoke” tells us the full gateway+agent pipeline works for that model (sessions, history, tools, sandbox policy, etc.).
-
-### Layer 1: Direct model completion (no gateway)
-
-- Test: `src/agents/models.profiles.live.test.ts`
-- Goal:
-  - Enumerate discovered models
-  - Use `getApiKeyForModel` to select models you have creds for
-  - Run a small completion per model (and targeted regressions where needed)
-- How to enable:
-  - `pnpm test:live` (or `OPENCLAW_LIVE_TEST=1` if invoking Vitest directly)
-- Set `OPENCLAW_LIVE_MODELS=modern` (or `all`, alias for modern) to actually run this suite; otherwise it skips to keep `pnpm test:live` focused on gateway smoke
-- How to select models:
-  - `OPENCLAW_LIVE_MODELS=modern` to run the modern allowlist (Opus/Sonnet/Haiku 4.5, GPT-5.x + Codex, Gemini 3, GLM 4.7, MiniMax M2.1, Grok 4)
-  - `OPENCLAW_LIVE_MODELS=all` is an alias for the modern allowlist
-  - or `OPENCLAW_LIVE_MODELS="openai/gpt-5.2,anthropic/claude-opus-4-5,..."` (comma allowlist)
-- How to select providers:
-  - `OPENCLAW_LIVE_PROVIDERS="google,google-antigravity,google-gemini-cli"` (comma allowlist)
-- Where keys come from:
-  - By default: profile store and env fallbacks
-  - Set `OPENCLAW_LIVE_REQUIRE_PROFILE_KEYS=1` to enforce **profile store** only
-- Why this exists:
-  - Separates “provider API is broken / key is invalid” from “gateway agent pipeline is broken”
-  - Contains small, isolated regressions (example: OpenAI Responses/Codex Responses reasoning replay + tool-call flows)
-
-### Layer 2: Gateway + dev agent smoke (what “@openclaw” actually does)
-
-- Test: `src/gateway/gateway-models.profiles.live.test.ts`
-- Goal:
-  - Spin up an in-process gateway
-  - Create/patch a `agent:dev:*` session (model override per run)
-  - Iterate models-with-keys and assert:
-    - “meaningful” response (no tools)
-    - a real tool invocation works (read probe)
-    - optional extra tool probes (exec+read probe)
-    - OpenAI regression paths (tool-call-only → follow-up) keep working
-- Probe details (so you can explain failures quickly):
-  - `read` probe: the test writes a nonce file in the workspace and asks the agent to `read` it and echo the nonce back.
-  - `exec+read` probe: the test asks the agent to `exec`-write a nonce into a temp file, then `read` it back.
-  - image probe: the test attaches a generated PNG (cat + randomized code) and expects the model to return `cat <CODE>`.
-  - Implementation reference: `src/gateway/gateway-models.profiles.live.test.ts` and `src/gateway/live-image-probe.ts`.
-- How to enable:
-  - `pnpm test:live` (or `OPENCLAW_LIVE_TEST=1` if invoking Vitest directly)
-- How to select models:
-  - Default: modern allowlist (Opus/Sonnet/Haiku 4.5, GPT-5.x + Codex, Gemini 3, GLM 4.7, MiniMax M2.1, Grok 4)
-  - `OPENCLAW_LIVE_GATEWAY_MODELS=all` is an alias for the modern allowlist
-  - Or set `OPENCLAW_LIVE_GATEWAY_MODELS="provider/model"` (or comma list) to narrow
-- How to select providers (avoid “OpenRouter everything”):
-  - `OPENCLAW_LIVE_GATEWAY_PROVIDERS="google,google-antigravity,google-gemini-cli,openai,anthropic,zai,minimax"` (comma allowlist)
-- Tool + image probes are always on in this live test:
-  - `read` probe + `exec+read` probe (tool stress)
-  - image probe runs when the model advertises image input support
-  - Flow (high level):
-    - Test generates a tiny PNG with “CAT” + random code (`src/gateway/live-image-probe.ts`)
-    - Sends it via `agent` `attachments: [{ mimeType: "image/png", content: "<base64>" }]`
-    - Gateway parses attachments into `images[]` (`src/gateway/server-methods/agent.ts` + `src/gateway/chat-attachments.ts`)
-    - Embedded agent forwards a multimodal user message to the model
-    - Assertion: reply contains `cat` + the code (OCR tolerance: minor mistakes allowed)
-
-Tip: to see what you can test on your machine (and the exact `provider/model` ids), run:
-
-```bash
-openclaw models list
-openclaw models list --json
-```
-
-## Live: Anthropic setup-token smoke
-
-- Test: `src/agents/anthropic.setup-token.live.test.ts`
-- Goal: verify Claude Code CLI setup-token (or a pasted setup-token profile) can complete an Anthropic prompt.
-- Enable:
-  - `pnpm test:live` (or `OPENCLAW_LIVE_TEST=1` if invoking Vitest directly)
-  - `OPENCLAW_LIVE_SETUP_TOKEN=1`
-- Token sources (pick one):
-  - Profile: `OPENCLAW_LIVE_SETUP_TOKEN_PROFILE=anthropic:setup-token-test`
-  - Raw token: `OPENCLAW_LIVE_SETUP_TOKEN_VALUE=sk-ant-oat01-...`
-- Model override (optional):
-  - `OPENCLAW_LIVE_SETUP_TOKEN_MODEL=anthropic/claude-opus-4-5`
-
-Setup example:
-
-```bash
-openclaw models auth paste-token --provider anthropic --profile-id anthropic:setup-token-test
-OPENCLAW_LIVE_SETUP_TOKEN=1 OPENCLAW_LIVE_SETUP_TOKEN_PROFILE=anthropic:setup-token-test pnpm test:live src/agents/anthropic.setup-token.live.test.ts
-```
-
-## Live: CLI backend smoke (Claude Code CLI or other local CLIs)
-
-- Test: `src/gateway/gateway-cli-backend.live.test.ts`
-- Goal: validate the Gateway + agent pipeline using a local CLI backend, without touching your default config.
-- Enable:
-  - `pnpm test:live` (or `OPENCLAW_LIVE_TEST=1` if invoking Vitest directly)
-  - `OPENCLAW_LIVE_CLI_BACKEND=1`
-- Defaults:
-  - Model: `claude-cli/claude-sonnet-4-5`
-  - Command: `claude`
-  - Args: `["-p","--output-format","json","--dangerously-skip-permissions"]`
-- Overrides (optional):
-  - `OPENCLAW_LIVE_CLI_BACKEND_MODEL="claude-cli/claude-opus-4-5"`
-  - `OPENCLAW_LIVE_CLI_BACKEND_MODEL="codex-cli/gpt-5.2-codex"`
-  - `OPENCLAW_LIVE_CLI_BACKEND_COMMAND="/full/path/to/claude"`
-  - `OPENCLAW_LIVE_CLI_BACKEND_ARGS='["-p","--output-format","json","--permission-mode","bypassPermissions"]'`
-  - `OPENCLAW_LIVE_CLI_BACKEND_CLEAR_ENV='["ANTHROPIC_API_KEY","ANTHROPIC_API_KEY_OLD"]'`
-  - `OPENCLAW_LIVE_CLI_BACKEND_IMAGE_PROBE=1` to send a real image attachment (paths are injected into the prompt).
-  - `OPENCLAW_LIVE_CLI_BACKEND_IMAGE_ARG="--image"` to pass image file paths as CLI args instead of prompt injection.
-  - `OPENCLAW_LIVE_CLI_BACKEND_IMAGE_MODE="repeat"` (or `"list"`) to control how image args are passed when `IMAGE_ARG` is set.
-  - `OPENCLAW_LIVE_CLI_BACKEND_RESUME_PROBE=1` to send a second turn and validate resume flow.
-- `OPENCLAW_LIVE_CLI_BACKEND_DISABLE_MCP_CONFIG=0` to keep Claude Code CLI MCP config enabled (default disables MCP config with a temporary empty file).
-
-Example:
-
-```bash
-OPENCLAW_LIVE_CLI_BACKEND=1 \
-  OPENCLAW_LIVE_CLI_BACKEND_MODEL="claude-cli/claude-sonnet-4-5" \
-  pnpm test:live src/gateway/gateway-cli-backend.live.test.ts
-```
-
-### Recommended live recipes
-
-Narrow, explicit allowlists are fastest and least flaky:
-
-- Single model, direct (no gateway):
-  - `OPENCLAW_LIVE_MODELS="openai/gpt-5.2" pnpm test:live src/agents/models.profiles.live.test.ts`
-
-- Single model, gateway smoke:
-  - `OPENCLAW_LIVE_GATEWAY_MODELS="openai/gpt-5.2" pnpm test:live src/gateway/gateway-models.profiles.live.test.ts`
-
-- Tool calling across several providers:
-  - `OPENCLAW_LIVE_GATEWAY_MODELS="openai/gpt-5.2,anthropic/claude-opus-4-5,google/gemini-3-flash-preview,zai/glm-4.7,minimax/minimax-m2.1" pnpm test:live src/gateway/gateway-models.profiles.live.test.ts`
-
-- Google focus (Gemini API key + Antigravity):
-  - Gemini (API key): `OPENCLAW_LIVE_GATEWAY_MODELS="google/gemini-3-flash-preview" pnpm test:live src/gateway/gateway-models.profiles.live.test.ts`
-  - Antigravity (OAuth): `OPENCLAW_LIVE_GATEWAY_MODELS="google-antigravity/claude-opus-4-5-thinking,google-antigravity/gemini-3-pro-high" pnpm test:live src/gateway/gateway-models.profiles.live.test.ts`
-
-Notes:
-
-- `google/...` uses the Gemini API (API key).
-- `google-antigravity/...` uses the Antigravity OAuth bridge (Cloud Code Assist-style agent endpoint).
-- `google-gemini-cli/...` uses the local Gemini CLI on your machine (separate auth + tooling quirks).
-- Gemini API vs Gemini CLI:
-  - API: OpenClaw calls Google’s hosted Gemini API over HTTP (API key / profile auth); this is what most users mean by “Gemini”.
-  - CLI: OpenClaw shells out to a local `gemini` binary; it has its own auth and can behave differently (streaming/tool support/version skew).
-
-## Live: model matrix (what we cover)
-
-There is no fixed “CI model list” (live is opt-in), but these are the **recommended** models to cover regularly on a dev machine with keys.
-
-### Modern smoke set (tool calling + image)
-
-This is the “common models” run we expect to keep working:
-
-- OpenAI (non-Codex): `openai/gpt-5.2` (optional: `openai/gpt-5.1`)
-- OpenAI Codex: `openai-codex/gpt-5.2` (optional: `openai-codex/gpt-5.2-codex`)
-- Anthropic: `anthropic/claude-opus-4-5` (or `anthropic/claude-sonnet-4-5`)
-- Google (Gemini API): `google/gemini-3-pro-preview` and `google/gemini-3-flash-preview` (avoid older Gemini 2.x models)
-- Google (Antigravity): `google-antigravity/claude-opus-4-5-thinking` and `google-antigravity/gemini-3-flash`
-- Z.AI (GLM): `zai/glm-4.7`
-- MiniMax: `minimax/minimax-m2.1`

-
-### Baseline: tool calling (Read + optional Exec)
-
-Pick at least one per provider family:
-
-- OpenAI: `openai/gpt-5.2` (or `openai/gpt-5-mini`)
-- Anthropic: `anthropic/claude-opus-4-5` (or `anthropic/claude-sonnet-4-5`)
-- Google: `google/gemini-3-flash-preview` (or `google/gemini-3-pro-preview`)
-- Z.AI (GLM): `zai/glm-4.7`
-- MiniMax: `minimax/minimax-m2.1`
-
-Optional additional coverage (nice to have):
-
-- xAI: `xai/grok-4` (or latest available)
-- Mistral: `mistral/`… (pick one “tools” capable model you have enabled)
-- Cerebras: `cerebras/`… (if you have access)
-- LM Studio: `lmstudio/`… (local; tool calling depends on API mode)
-
-### Vision: image send (attachment → multimodal message)
-
-Include at least one image-capable model in `OPENCLAW_LIVE_GATEWAY_MODELS` (Claude/Gemini/OpenAI vision-capable variants, etc.) to exercise the image probe.
-
-### Aggregators / alternate gateways
-
-If you have keys enabled, we also support testing via:
-
-- OpenRouter: `openrouter/...` (hundreds of models; use `openclaw models scan` to find tool+image capable candidates)
-- OpenCode Zen: `opencode/...` (auth via `OPENCODE_API_KEY` / `OPENCODE_ZEN_API_KEY`)
-
-More providers you can include in the live matrix (if you have creds/config):
-
-- Built-in: `openai`, `openai-codex`, `anthropic`, `google`, `google-vertex`, `google-antigravity`, `google-gemini-cli`, `zai`, `openrouter`, `opencode`, `xai`, `groq`, `cerebras`, `mistral`, `github-copilot`
-- Via `models.providers` (custom endpoints): `minimax` (cloud/API), plus any OpenAI/Anthropic-compatible proxy (LM Studio, vLLM, LiteLLM, etc.)
-
-Tip: don’t try to hardcode “all models” in docs. The authoritative list is whatever `discoverModels(...)` returns on your machine + whatever keys are available.
-
-## Credentials (never commit)
-
-Live tests discover credentials the same way the CLI does. Practical implications:
-
-- If the CLI works, live tests should find the same keys.
-- If a live test says “no creds”, debug the same way you’d debug `openclaw models list` / model selection.
-
-- Profile store: `~/.openclaw/credentials/` (preferred; what “profile keys” means in the tests)
-- Config: `~/.openclaw/openclaw.json` (or `OPENCLAW_CONFIG_PATH`)
-
-If you want to rely on env keys (e.g. exported in your `~/.profile`), run local tests after `source ~/.profile`, or use the Docker runners below (they can mount `~/.profile` into the container).
-
-## Deepgram live (audio transcription)
-
-- Test: `src/media-understanding/providers/deepgram/audio.live.test.ts`
-- Enable: `DEEPGRAM_API_KEY=... DEEPGRAM_LIVE_TEST=1 pnpm test:live src/media-understanding/providers/deepgram/audio.live.test.ts`
-
-## Docker runners (optional “works in Linux” checks)
-
-These run `pnpm test:live` inside the repo Docker image, mounting your local config dir and workspace (and sourcing `~/.profile` if mounted):
-
-- Direct models: `pnpm test:docker:live-models` (script: `scripts/test-live-models-docker.sh`)
-- Gateway + dev agent: `pnpm test:docker:live-gateway` (script: `scripts/test-live-gateway-models-docker.sh`)
-- Onboarding wizard (TTY, full scaffolding): `pnpm test:docker:onboard` (script: `scripts/e2e/onboard-docker.sh`)
-- Gateway networking (two containers, WS auth + health): `pnpm test:docker:gateway-network` (script: `scripts/e2e/gateway-network-docker.sh`)
-- Plugins (custom extension load + registry smoke): `pnpm test:docker:plugins` (script: `scripts/e2e/plugins-docker.sh`)
-
-Useful env vars:
-
-- `OPENCLAW_CONFIG_DIR=...` (default: `~/.openclaw`) mounted to `/home/node/.openclaw`
-- `OPENCLAW_WORKSPACE_DIR=...` (default: `~/.openclaw/workspace`) mounted to `/home/node/.openclaw/workspace`
-- `OPENCLAW_PROFILE_FILE=...` (default: `~/.profile`) mounted to `/home/node/.profile` and sourced before running tests
-- `OPENCLAW_LIVE_GATEWAY_MODELS=...` / `OPENCLAW_LIVE_MODELS=...` to narrow the run
-- `OPENCLAW_LIVE_REQUIRE_PROFILE_KEYS=1` to ensure creds come from the profile store (not env)
-
-## Docs sanity
-
-Run docs checks after doc edits: `pnpm docs:list`.
-
-## Offline regression (CI-safe)
-
-These are “real pipeline” regressions without real providers:
-
-- Gateway tool calling (mock OpenAI, real gateway + agent loop): `src/gateway/gateway.tool-calling.mock-openai.test.ts`
-- Gateway wizard (WS `wizard.start`/`wizard.next`, writes config + auth enforced): `src/gateway/gateway.wizard.e2e.test.ts`
-
-## Agent reliability evals (skills)
-
-We already have a few CI-safe tests that behave like “agent reliability evals”:
-
-- Mock tool-calling through the real gateway + agent loop (`src/gateway/gateway.tool-calling.mock-openai.test.ts`).
-- End-to-end wizard flows that validate session wiring and config effects (`src/gateway/gateway.wizard.e2e.test.ts`).
-
-What’s still missing for skills (see [Skills](/tools/skills)):
-
-- **Decisioning:** when skills are listed in the prompt, does the agent pick the right skill (or avoid irrelevant ones)?
-- **Compliance:** does the agent read `SKILL.md` before use and follow required steps/args?
-- **Workflow contracts:** multi-turn scenarios that assert tool order, session history carryover, and sandbox boundaries.
-
-Future evals should stay deterministic first:
-
-- A scenario runner using mock providers to assert tool calls + order, skill file reads, and session wiring.
-- A small suite of skill-focused scenarios (use vs avoid, gating, prompt injection).
-- Optional live evals (opt-in, env-gated) only after the CI-safe suite is in place.
-
-## Adding regressions (guidance)
-
-When you fix a provider/model issue discovered in live:
-
-- Add a CI-safe regression if possible (mock/stub provider, or capture the exact request-shape transformation)
-- If it’s inherently live-only (rate limits, auth policies), keep the live test narrow and opt-in via env vars
-- Prefer targeting the smallest layer that catches the bug:
-  - provider request conversion/replay bug → direct models test
-  - gateway session/history/tool pipeline bug → gateway live smoke or CI-safe gateway mock test

-read_when:
-  - Explaining token usage, costs, or context windows
-  - Debugging context growth or compaction behavior
-title: "Token Use and Costs"
----
-
-# Token use & costs
-
-OpenClaw tracks **tokens**, not characters. Tokens are model-specific, but most
-OpenAI-style models average ~4 characters per token for English text.
-
-## How the system prompt is built
-
-OpenClaw assembles its own system prompt on every run. It includes:
-
-- Tool list + short descriptions
-- Skills list (only metadata; instructions are loaded on demand with `read`)
-- Self-update instructions
-- Workspace + bootstrap files (`AGENTS.md`, `SOUL.md`, `TOOLS.md`, `IDENTITY.md`, `USER.md`, `HEARTBEAT.md`, `BOOTSTRAP.md` when new). Large files are truncated by `agents.defaults.bootstrapMaxChars` (default: 20000).
-- Time (UTC + user timezone)
-- Reply tags + heartbeat behavior
-- Runtime metadata (host/OS/model/thinking)
-
-See the full breakdown in [System Prompt](/concepts/system-prompt).
-
-## What counts in the context window
-
-Everything the model receives counts toward the context limit:
-
-- System prompt (all sections listed above)
-- Conversation history (user + assistant messages)
-- Tool calls and tool results
-- Attachments/transcripts (images, audio, files)
-- Compaction summaries and pruning artifacts
-- Provider wrappers or safety headers (not visible, but still counted)
-
-For a practical breakdown (per injected file, tools, skills, and system prompt size), use `/context list` or `/context detail`. See [Context](/concepts/context).
-
-## How to see current token usage
-
-Use these in chat:
-
-- `/status` → **emoji‑rich status card** with the session model, context usage,
-  last response input/output tokens, and **estimated cost** (API key only).
-- `/usage off|tokens|full` → appends a **per-response usage footer** to every reply.
-  - Persists per session (stored as `responseUsage`).
-  - OAuth auth **hides cost** (tokens only).
-- `/usage cost` → shows a local cost summary from OpenClaw session logs.
-
-Other surfaces:
-
-- **TUI/Web TUI:** `/status` + `/usage` are supported.
-- **CLI:** `openclaw status --usage` and `openclaw channels list` show
-  provider quota windows (not per-response costs).
-
-## Cost estimation (when shown)
-
-Costs are estimated from your model pricing config:
-
-```
-models.providers.<provider>.models[].cost
-```
-
-These are **USD per 1M tokens** for `input`, `output`, `cacheRead`, and
-`cacheWrite`. If pricing is missing, OpenClaw shows tokens only. OAuth tokens
-never show dollar cost.
-
-## Cache TTL and pruning impact
-
-Provider prompt caching only applies within the cache TTL window. OpenClaw can
-optionally run **cache-ttl pruning**: it prunes the session once the cache TTL
-has expired, then resets the cache window so subsequent requests can re-use the
-freshly cached context instead of re-caching the full history. This keeps cache
-write costs lower when a session goes idle past the TTL.
-
-Configure it in [Gateway configuration](/gateway/configuration) and see the
-behavior details in [Session pruning](/concepts/session-pruning).
-
-Heartbeat can keep the cache **warm** across idle gaps. If your model cache TTL
-is `1h`, setting the heartbeat interval just under that (e.g., `55m`) can avoid
-re-caching the full prompt, reducing cache write costs.
-
-For Anthropic API pricing, cache reads are significantly cheaper than input
-tokens, while cache writes are billed at a higher multiplier. See Anthropic’s
-prompt caching pricing for the latest rates and TTL multipliers:
-https://docs.anthropic.com/docs/build-with-claude/prompt-caching
-
-### Example: keep 1h cache warm with heartbeat
-
-```yaml
-agents:
-  defaults:
-    model:
-      primary: "anthropic/claude-opus-4-5"
-    models:
-      "anthropic/claude-opus-4-5":
-        params:
-          cacheRetention: "long"
-    heartbeat:
-      every: "55m"
-```
-
-## Tips for reducing token pressure
-
-- Use `/compact` to summarize long sessions.
-- Trim large tool outputs in your workflows.
-- Keep skill descriptions short (skill list is injected into the prompt).
-- Prefer smaller models for verbose, exploratory work.
-
-See [Skills](/tools/skills) for the exact skill list overhead formula.

+# Multi-Agent Sandbox & Tools Configuration
+
+## Overview
+
+Each agent in a multi-agent setup can now have its own:
+
+- **Sandbox configuration** (`agents.list[].sandbox` overrides `agents.defaults.sandbox`)
+- **Tool restrictions** (`tools.allow` / `tools.deny`, plus `agents.list[].tools`)
+
+This allows you to run multiple agents with different security profiles:
+
+- Personal assistant with full access
+- Family/work agents with restricted tools
+- Public-facing agents in sandboxes
+
+`setupCommand` belongs under `sandbox.docker` (global or per-agent) and runs once
+when the container is created.
+
+Auth is per-agent: each agent reads from its own `agentDir` auth store at:
+
+```
+~/.openclaw/agents/<agentId>/agent/auth-profiles.json
+```
+
+Credentials are **not** shared between agents. Never reuse `agentDir` across agents.
+If you want to share creds, copy `auth-profiles.json` into the other agent's `agentDir`.
+
+For how sandboxing behaves at runtime, see [Sandboxing](/gateway/sandboxing).
+For debugging “why is this blocked?”, see [Sandbox vs Tool Policy vs Elevated](/gateway/sandbox-vs-tool-policy-vs-elevated) and `openclaw sandbox explain`.

+        "name": "Personal Assistant",
+        "workspace": "~/.openclaw/workspace",
+        "sandbox": { "mode": "off" }
+      },
+      {
+        "id": "family",
+        "name": "Family Bot",
+        "workspace": "~/.openclaw/workspace-family",
+        "sandbox": {
+          "mode": "all",
+          "scope": "agent"
+        },
+        "tools": {
+          "allow": ["read"],
+          "deny": ["exec", "write", "edit", "apply_patch", "process", "browser"]
+        }
+      }
+    ]
+  },
+  "bindings": [
+    {
+      "agentId": "family",
+      "match": {
+        "provider": "whatsapp",
+        "accountId": "*",
+        "peer": {
+          "kind": "group",
+          "id": "120363424282127706@g.us"
+        }
+      }
+    }
+  ]
+}
+```
+
+**Result:**
+
+- `main` agent: Runs on host, full tool access
+- `family` agent: Runs in Docker (one container per agent), only `read` tool
+

+
+### Example 2: Work Agent with Shared Sandbox
+
+```json
+{
+  "agents": {
+    "list": [
+      {
+        "id": "personal",
+        "workspace": "~/.openclaw/workspace-personal",
+        "sandbox": { "mode": "off" }
+      },
+      {
+        "id": "work",
+        "workspace": "~/.openclaw/workspace-work",
+        "sandbox": {
+          "mode": "all",
+          "scope": "shared",
+          "workspaceRoot": "/tmp/work-sandboxes"
+        },
+        "tools": {
+          "allow": ["read", "write", "apply_patch", "exec"],
+          "deny": ["browser", "gateway", "discord"]
+        }
+      }
+    ]
+  }
+}
+```
+
+---
+
+### Example 2b: Global coding profile + messaging-only agent
+
+```json
+{
+  "tools": { "profile": "coding" },
+  "agents": {
+    "list": [
+      {
+        "id": "support",
+        "tools": { "profile": "messaging", "allow": ["slack"] }
+      }
+    ]
+  }
+}
+```
+
+**Result:**
+
+- default agents get coding tools
+- `support` agent is messaging-only (+ Slack tool)
+
+---
+
+### Example 3: Different Sandbox Modes per Agent
+
+```json
+{
+  "agents": {
+    "defaults": {
+      "sandbox": {
+        "mode": "non-main", // Global default
+        "scope": "session"
+      }
+    },
+    "list": [
+      {
+        "id": "main",
+        "workspace": "~/.openclaw/workspace",
+        "sandbox": {
+          "mode": "off" // Override: main never sandboxed
+        }
+      },
+      {
+        "id": "public",
+        "workspace": "~/.openclaw/workspace-public",
+        "sandbox": {
+          "mode": "all", // Override: public always sandboxed
+          "scope": "agent"
+        },
+        "tools": {
+          "allow": ["read"],
+          "deny": ["exec", "write", "edit", "apply_patch"]
+        }
+      }
+    ]
+  }
+}
+```
+
+---
+
+## Configuration Precedence
+
+When both global (`agents.defaults.*`) and agent-specific (`agents.list[].*`) configs exist:
+
+### Sandbox Config
+
+Agent-specific settings override global:
+
+```
+agents.list[].sandbox.mode > agents.defaults.sandbox.mode
+agents.list[].sandbox.scope > agents.defaults.sandbox.scope
+agents.list[].sandbox.workspaceRoot > agents.defaults.sandbox.workspaceRoot
+agents.list[].sandbox.workspaceAccess > agents.defaults.sandbox.workspaceAccess
+agents.list[].sandbox.docker.* > agents.defaults.sandbox.docker.*
+agents.list[].sandbox.browser.* > agents.defaults.sandbox.browser.*
+agents.list[].sandbox.prune.* > agents.defaults.sandbox.prune.*
+```
+
+**Notes:**
+
+- `agents.list[].sandbox.{docker,browser,prune}.*` overrides `agents.defaults.sandbox.{docker,browser,prune}.*` for that agent (ignored when sandbox scope resolves to `"shared"`).
+
+### Tool Restrictions
+
+The filtering order is:
+
+1. **Tool profile** (`tools.profile` or `agents.list[].tools.profile`)
+2. **Provider tool profile** (`tools.byProvider[provider].profile` or `agents.list[].tools.byProvider[provider].profile`)
+3. **Global tool policy** (`tools.allow` / `tools.deny`)
+4. **Provider tool policy** (`tools.byProvider[provider].allow/deny`)
+5. **Agent-specific tool policy** (`agents.list[].tools.allow/deny`)
+6. **Agent provider policy** (`agents.list[].tools.byProvider[provider].allow/deny`)
+7. **Sandbox tool policy** (`tools.sandbox.tools` or `agents.list[].tools.sandbox.tools`)
+8. **Subagent tool policy** (`tools.subagents.tools`, if applicable)
+
+Each level can further restrict tools, but cannot grant back denied tools from earlier levels.
+If `agents.list[].tools.sandbox.tools` is set, it replaces `tools.sandbox.tools` for that agent.
+If `agents.list[].tools.profile` is set, it overrides `tools.profile` for that agent.
+Provider tool keys accept either `provider` (e.g. `google-antigravity`) or `provider/model` (e.g. `openai/gpt-5.2`).
+
+### Tool groups (shorthands)
+
+Tool policies (global, agent, sandbox) support `group:*` entries that expand to multiple concrete tools:
+
+- `group:runtime`: `exec`, `bash`, `process`
+- `group:fs`: `read`, `write`, `edit`, `apply_patch`
+- `group:sessions`: `sessions_list`, `sessions_history`, `sessions_send`, `sessions_spawn`, `session_status`
+- `group:memory`: `memory_search`, `memory_get`
+- `group:ui`: `browser`, `canvas`
+- `group:automation`: `cron`, `gateway`
+- `group:messaging`: `message`
+- `group:nodes`: `nodes`
+- `group:openclaw`: all built-in OpenClaw tools (excludes provider plugins)
+
+### Elevated Mode
+
+`tools.elevated` is the global baseline (sender-based allowlist). `agents.list[].tools.elevated` can further restrict elevated for specific agents (both must allow).
+
+Mitigation patterns:
+
+- Deny `exec` for untrusted agents (`agents.list[].tools.deny: ["exec"]`)
+- Avoid allowlisting senders that route to restricted agents
+- Disable elevated globally (`tools.elevated.enabled: false`) if you only want sandboxed execution
+- Disable elevated per agent (`agents.list[].tools.elevated.enabled: false`) for sensitive profiles
+
+---
+
+## Migration from Single Agent
+
+**Before (single agent):**
+
+```json
+{
+  "agents": {
+    "defaults": {
+      "workspace": "~/.openclaw/workspace",
+      "sandbox": {
+        "mode": "non-main"
+      }
+    }
+  },
+  "tools": {
+    "sandbox": {
+      "tools": {
+        "allow": ["read", "write", "apply_patch", "exec"],
+        "deny": []
+      }
+    }
+  }
+}
+```
+
+**After (multi-agent with different profiles):**
+
+```json
+{
+  "agents": {
+    "list": [
+      {
+        "id": "main",
+        "default": true,
+        "workspace": "~/.openclaw/workspace",
+        "sandbox": { "mode": "off" }
+      }
+    ]
+  }
+}
+```
+
+Legacy `agent.*` configs are migrated by `openclaw doctor`; prefer `agents.defaults` + `agents.list` going forward.
+
+---
+
+## Tool Restriction Examples
+
+### Read-only Agent
+
+```json
+{
+  "tools": {
+    "allow": ["read"],
+    "deny": ["exec", "write", "edit", "apply_patch", "process"]
+  }
+}
+```
+
+### Safe Execution Agent (no file modifications)
+
+```json
+{
+  "tools": {
+    "allow": ["read", "exec", "process"],
+    "deny": ["write", "edit", "apply_patch", "browser", "gateway"]
+  }
+}
+```
+
+### Communication-only Agent
+
+```json
+{
+  "tools": {
+    "allow": ["sessions_list", "sessions_send", "sessions_history", "session_status"],
+    "deny": ["exec", "write", "edit", "apply_patch", "read", "browser"]
+  }
+}
+```
+
+---
+
+## Common Pitfall: "non-main"
+
+`agents.defaults.sandbox.mode: "non-main"` is based on `session.mainKey` (default `"main"`),
+not the agent id. Group/channel sessions always get their own keys, so they
+are treated as non-main and will be sandboxed. If you want an agent to never
+sandbox, set `agents.list[].sandbox.mode: "off"`.
+
+---
+
+## Testing
+
+After configuring multi-agent sandbox and tools:
+
+1. **Check agent resolution:**
+
+   ```exec
+   openclaw agents list --bindings
+   ```
+
+2. **Verify sandbox containers:**
+
+   ```exec
+   docker ps --filter "name=openclaw-sbx-"
+   ```
+
+3. **Test tool restrictions:**
+   - Send a message requiring restricted tools
+   - Verify the agent cannot use denied tools
+
+4. **Monitor logs:**
+
+   ```exec
+   tail -f "${OPENCLAW_STATE_DIR:-$HOME/.openclaw}/logs/gateway.log" | grep -E "routing|sandbox|tools"
+   ```
+
+---
+
+## Troubleshooting
+
+### Agent not sandboxed despite `mode: "all"`
+
+- Check if there's a global `agents.defaults.sandbox.mode` that overrides it
+- Agent-specific config takes precedence, so set `agents.list[].sandbox.mode: "all"`
+
+### Tools still available despite deny list
+
+- Check tool filtering order: global → agent → sandbox → subagent
+- Each level can only further restrict, not grant back
+- Verify with logs: `[tools] filtering tools for agent:${agentId}`
+
+### Container not isolated per agent
+
+- Set `scope: "agent"` in agent-specific sandbox config
+- Default is `"session"` which creates one container per session

+---
+
+# Plugins (Extensions)
+
+## Quick start (new to plugins?)
+
+A plugin is just a **small code module** that extends OpenClaw with extra
+features (commands, tools, and Gateway RPC).
+
+Most of the time, you’ll use plugins when you want a feature that’s not built
+into core OpenClaw yet (or you want to keep optional features out of your main
+install).
+
+Fast path:
+
+1. See what’s already loaded:
+
+```bash
+openclaw plugins list
+```
+
+2. Install an official plugin (example: Voice Call):
+
+```bash
+openclaw plugins install @openclaw/voice-call
+```
+
+Npm specs are **registry-only** (package name + optional version/tag). Git/URL/file
+specs are rejected.
+
+3. Restart the Gateway, then configure under `plugins.entries.<id>.config`.
+
+See [Voice Call](/plugins/voice-call) for a concrete example plugin.
+
+## Available plugins (official)
+
+- Microsoft Teams is plugin-only as of 2026.1.15; install `@openclaw/msteams` if you use Teams.
+- Memory (Core) — bundled memory search plugin (enabled by default via `plugins.slots.memory`)
+- Memory (LanceDB) — bundled long-term memory plugin (auto-recall/capture; set `plugins.slots.memory = "memory-lancedb"`)
+- [Voice Call](/plugins/voice-call) — `@openclaw/voice-call`
+- [Zalo Personal](/plugins/zalouser) — `@openclaw/zalouser`
+- [Matrix](/channels/matrix) — `@openclaw/matrix`
+- [Nostr](/channels/nostr) — `@openclaw/nostr`
+- [Zalo](/channels/zalo) — `@openclaw/zalo`
+- [Microsoft Teams](/channels/msteams) — `@openclaw/msteams`
+- Google Antigravity OAuth (provider auth) — bundled as `google-antigravity-auth` (disabled by default)
+- Gemini CLI OAuth (provider auth) — bundled as `google-gemini-cli-auth` (disabled by default)
+- Qwen OAuth (provider auth) — bundled as `qwen-portal-auth` (disabled by default)
+- Copilot Proxy (provider auth) — local VS Code Copilot Proxy bridge; distinct from built-in `github-copilot` device login (bundled, disabled by default)
+
+OpenClaw plugins are **TypeScript modules** loaded at runtime via jiti. **Config
+validation does not execute plugin code**; it uses the plugin manifest and JSON
+Schema instead. See [Plugin manifest](/plugins/manifest).
+
+Plugins can register:
+
+- Gateway RPC methods
+- Gateway HTTP handlers
+- Agent tools
+- CLI commands
+- Background services
+- Optional config validation
+- **Skills** (by listing `skills` directories in the plugin manifest)
+- **Auto-reply commands** (execute without invoking the AI agent)
+
+Plugins run **in‑process** with the Gateway, so treat them as trusted code.
+Tool authoring guide: [Plugin agent tools](/plugins/agent-tools).
+
+## Runtime helpers
+
+Plugins can access selected core helpers via `api.runtime`. For telephony TTS:
+
+```ts
+const result = await api.runtime.tts.textToSpeechTelephony({
+  text: "Hello from OpenClaw",
+  cfg: api.config,
+});
+```
+
+Notes:
+
+- Uses core `messages.tts` configuration (OpenAI or ElevenLabs).
+- Returns PCM audio buffer + sample rate. Plugins must resample/encode for providers.
+- Edge TTS is not supported for telephony.
+
+## Discovery & precedence
+
+OpenClaw scans, in order:
+
+1. Config paths
+
+- `plugins.load.paths` (file or directory)
+
+2. Workspace extensions
+
+- `<workspace>/.openclaw/extensions/*.ts`
+- `<workspace>/.openclaw/extensions/*/index.ts`
+
+3. Global extensions
+
+- `~/.openclaw/extensions/*.ts`
+- `~/.openclaw/extensions/*/index.ts`
+
+4. Bundled extensions (shipped with OpenClaw, **disabled by default**)
+
+- `<openclaw>/extensions/*`
+
+Bundled plugins must be enabled explicitly via `plugins.entries.<id>.enabled`
+or `openclaw plugins enable <id>`. Installed plugins are enabled by default,
+but can be disabled the same way.
+
+Each plugin must include a `openclaw.plugin.json` file in its root. If a path
+points at a file, the plugin root is the file's directory and must contain the
+manifest.
+
+If multiple plugins resolve to the same id, the first match in the order above
+wins and lower-precedence copies are ignored.
+
+### Package packs
+
+A plugin directory may include a `package.json` with `openclaw.extensions`:
+
+```json
+{
+  "name": "my-pack",
+  "openclaw": {
+    "extensions": ["./src/safety.ts", "./src/tools.ts"]
+  }
+}
+```
+
+Each entry becomes a plugin. If the pack lists multiple extensions, the plugin id
+becomes `name/<fileBase>`.
+
+If your plugin imports npm deps, install them in that directory so
+`node_modules` is available (`npm install` / `pnpm install`).
+
+Security note: `openclaw plugins install` installs plugin dependencies with
+`npm install --ignore-scripts` (no lifecycle scripts). Keep plugin dependency
+trees "pure JS/TS" and avoid packages that require `postinstall` builds.
+
+### Channel catalog metadata
+
+Channel plugins can advertise onboarding metadata via `openclaw.channel` and
+install hints via `openclaw.install`. This keeps the core catalog data-free.
+
+Example:
+
+```json
+{
+  "name": "@openclaw/nextcloud-talk",
+  "openclaw": {
+    "extensions": ["./index.ts"],
+    "channel": {
+      "id": "nextcloud-talk",
+      "label": "Nextcloud Talk",
+      "selectionLabel": "Nextcloud Talk (self-hosted)",
+      "docsPath": "/channels/nextcloud-talk",
+      "docsLabel": "nextcloud-talk",
+      "blurb": "Self-hosted chat via Nextcloud Talk webhook bots.",
+      "order": 65,
+      "aliases": ["nc-talk", "nc"]
+    },
+    "install": {
+      "npmSpec": "@openclaw/nextcloud-talk",
+      "localPath": "extensions/nextcloud-talk",
+      "defaultChoice": "npm"
+    }
+  }
+}
+```
+
+OpenClaw can also merge **external channel catalogs** (for example, an MPM
+registry export). Drop a JSON file at one of:
+
+- `~/.openclaw/mpm/plugins.json`
+- `~/.openclaw/mpm/catalog.json`
+- `~/.openclaw/plugins/catalog.json`
+
+Or point `OPENCLAW_PLUGIN_CATALOG_PATHS` (or `OPENCLAW_MPM_CATALOG_PATHS`) at
+one or more JSON files (comma/semicolon/`PATH`-delimited). Each file should
+contain `{ "entries": [ { "name": "@scope/pkg", "openclaw": { "channel": {...}, "install": {...} } } ] }`.
+
+## Plugin IDs
+
+Default plugin ids:
+
+- Package packs: `package.json` `name`
+- Standalone file: file base name (`~/.../voice-call.ts` → `voice-call`)
+
+If a plugin exports `id`, OpenClaw uses it but warns when it doesn’t match the
+configured id.
+
+## Config
+
+```json5
+{
+  plugins: {
+    enabled: true,
+    allow: ["voice-call"],
+    deny: ["untrusted-plugin"],
+    load: { paths: ["~/Projects/oss/voice-call-extension"] },
+    entries: {
+      "voice-call": { enabled: true, config: { provider: "twilio" } },
+    },
+  },
+}
+```
+
+Fields:
+
+- `enabled`: master toggle (default: true)
+- `allow`: allowlist (optional)
+- `deny`: denylist (optional; deny wins)
+- `load.paths`: extra plugin files/dirs
+- `entries.<id>`: per‑plugin toggles + config
+
+Config changes **require a gateway restart**.
+
+Validation rules (strict):
+
+- Unknown plugin ids in `entries`, `allow`, `deny`, or `slots` are **errors**.
+- Unknown `channels.<id>` keys are **errors** unless a plugin manifest declares
+  the channel id.
+- Plugin config is validated using the JSON Schema embedded in
+  `openclaw.plugin.json` (`configSchema`).
+- If a plugin is disabled, its config is preserved and a **warning** is emitted.
+
+## Plugin slots (exclusive categories)
+
+Some plugin categories are **exclusive** (only one active at a time). Use
+`plugins.slots` to select which plugin owns the slot:
+
+```json5
+{
+  plugins: {
+    slots: {
+      memory: "memory-core", // or "none" to disable memory plugins
+    },
+  },
+}
+```
+
+If multiple plugins declare `kind: "memory"`, only the selected one loads. Others
+are disabled with diagnostics.
+
+## Control UI (schema + labels)
+
+The Control UI uses `config.schema` (JSON Schema + `uiHints`) to render better forms.
+
+OpenClaw augments `uiHints` at runtime based on discovered plugins:
+
+- Adds per-plugin labels for `plugins.entries.<id>` / `.enabled` / `.config`
+- Merges optional plugin-provided config field hints under:
+  `plugins.entries.<id>.config.<field>`
+
+If you want your plugin config fields to show good labels/placeholders (and mark secrets as sensitive),
+provide `uiHints` alongside your JSON Schema in the plugin manifest.
+
+Example:
+
+```json
+{
+  "id": "my-plugin",
+  "configSchema": {
+    "type": "object",
+    "additionalProperties": false,
+    "properties": {
+      "apiKey": { "type": "string" },
+      "region": { "type": "string" }
+    }
+  },
+  "uiHints": {
+    "apiKey": { "label": "API Key", "sensitive": true },
+    "region": { "label": "Region", "placeholder": "us-east-1" }
+  }
+}
+```
+
+## CLI
+
+```bash
+openclaw plugins list
+openclaw plugins info <id>
+openclaw plugins install <path>                 # copy a local file/dir into ~/.openclaw/extensions/<id>
+openclaw plugins install ./extensions/voice-call # relative path ok
+openclaw plugins install ./plugin.tgz           # install from a local tarball
+openclaw plugins install ./plugin.zip           # install from a local zip
+openclaw plugins install -l ./extensions/voice-call # link (no copy) for dev
+openclaw plugins install @openclaw/voice-call # install from npm
+openclaw plugins update <id>
+openclaw plugins update --all
+openclaw plugins enable <id>
+openclaw plugins disable <id>
+openclaw plugins doctor
+```
+
+`plugins update` only works for npm installs tracked under `plugins.installs`.
+
+Plugins may also register their own top‑level commands (example: `openclaw voicecall`).
+
+## Plugin API (overview)
+
+Plugins export either:
+
+- A function: `(api) => { ... }`
+- An object: `{ id, name, configSchema, register(api) { ... } }`
+
+## Plugin hooks
+
+Plugins can ship hooks and register them at runtime. This lets a plugin bundle
+event-driven automation without a separate hook pack install.
+
+### Example
+
+```
+import { registerPluginHooksFromDir } from "openclaw/plugin-sdk";
+
+export default function register(api) {
+  registerPluginHooksFromDir(api, "./hooks");
+}
+```
+
+Notes:
+
+- Hook directories follow the normal hook structure (`HOOK.md` + `handler.ts`).
+- Hook eligibility rules still apply (OS/bins/env/config requirements).
+- Plugin-managed hooks show up in `openclaw hooks list` with `plugin:<id>`.
+- You cannot enable/disable plugin-managed hooks via `openclaw hooks`; enable/disable the plugin instead.
+
+## Provider plugins (model auth)
+
+Plugins can register **model provider auth** flows so users can run OAuth or
+API-key setup inside OpenClaw (no external scripts needed).
+
+Register a provider via `api.registerProvider(...)`. Each provider exposes one
+or more auth methods (OAuth, API key, device code, etc.). These methods power:
+
+- `openclaw models auth login --provider <id> [--method <id>]`
+
+Example:
+
+```ts
+api.registerProvider({
+  id: "acme",
+  label: "AcmeAI",
+  auth: [
+    {
+      id: "oauth",
+      label: "OAuth",
+      kind: "oauth",
+      run: async (ctx) => {
+        // Run OAuth flow and return auth profiles.
+        return {
+          profiles: [
+            {
+              profileId: "acme:default",
+              credential: {
+                type: "oauth",
+                provider: "acme",
+                access: "...",
+                refresh: "...",
+                expires: Date.now() + 3600 * 1000,
+              },
+            },
+          ],
+          defaultModel: "acme/opus-1",
+        };
+      },
+    },
+  ],
+});
+```

+
+### Register a messaging channel
+
+Plugins can register **channel plugins** that behave like built‑in channels
+(WhatsApp, Telegram, etc.). Channel config lives under `channels.<id>` and is
+validated by your channel plugin code.
+
+```ts
+const myChannel = {
+  id: "acmechat",
+  meta: {
+    id: "acmechat",
+    label: "AcmeChat",
+    selectionLabel: "AcmeChat (API)",
+    docsPath: "/channels/acmechat",
+    blurb: "demo channel plugin.",
+    aliases: ["acme"],
+  },
+  capabilities: { chatTypes: ["direct"] },
+  config: {
+    listAccountIds: (cfg) => Object.keys(cfg.channels?.acmechat?.accounts ?? {}),
+    resolveAccount: (cfg, accountId) =>
+      cfg.channels?.acmechat?.accounts?.[accountId ?? "default"] ?? {
+        accountId,
+      },
+  },
+  outbound: {
+    deliveryMode: "direct",
+    sendText: async () => ({ ok: true }),
+  },
+};
+
+export default function (api) {
+  api.registerChannel({ plugin: myChannel });
+}
+```
+
+Notes:
+
+- Put config under `channels.<id>` (not `plugins.entries`).
+- `meta.label` is used for labels in CLI/UI lists.
+- `meta.aliases` adds alternate ids for normalization and CLI inputs.
+- `meta.preferOver` lists channel ids to skip auto-enable when both are configured.
+- `meta.detailLabel` and `meta.systemImage` let UIs show richer channel labels/icons.
+
+### Write a new messaging channel (step‑by‑step)
+
+Use this when you want a **new chat surface** (a "messaging channel"), not a model provider.
+Model provider docs live under `/providers/*`.
+
+1. Pick an id + config shape
+
+- All channel config lives under `channels.<id>`.
+- Prefer `channels.<id>.accounts.<accountId>` for multi‑account setups.
+
+2. Define the channel metadata
+
+- `meta.label`, `meta.selectionLabel`, `meta.docsPath`, `meta.blurb` control CLI/UI lists.
+- `meta.docsPath` should point at a docs page like `/channels/<id>`.
+- `meta.preferOver` lets a plugin replace another channel (auto-enable prefers it).
+- `meta.detailLabel` and `meta.systemImage` are used by UIs for detail text/icons.
+
+3. Implement the required adapters
+
+- `config.listAccountIds` + `config.resolveAccount`
+- `capabilities` (chat types, media, threads, etc.)
+- `outbound.deliveryMode` + `outbound.sendText` (for basic send)
+
+4. Add optional adapters as needed
+
+- `setup` (wizard), `security` (DM policy), `status` (health/diagnostics)
+- `gateway` (start/stop/login), `mentions`, `threading`, `streaming`
+- `actions` (message actions), `commands` (native command behavior)
+
+5. Register the channel in your plugin
+
+- `api.registerChannel({ plugin })`
+
+Minimal config example:
+
+```json5
+{
+  channels: {
+    acmechat: {
+      accounts: {
+        default: { token: "ACME_TOKEN", enabled: true },
+      },
+    },
+  },
+}
+```
+
+Minimal channel plugin (outbound‑only):
+
+```ts
+const plugin = {
+  id: "acmechat",
+  meta: {
+    id: "acmechat",
+    label: "AcmeChat",
+    selectionLabel: "AcmeChat (API)",
+    docsPath: "/channels/acmechat",
+    blurb: "AcmeChat messaging channel.",
+    aliases: ["acme"],
+  },
+  capabilities: { chatTypes: ["direct"] },
+  config: {
+    listAccountIds: (cfg) => Object.keys(cfg.channels?.acmechat?.accounts ?? {}),
+    resolveAccount: (cfg, accountId) =>
+      cfg.channels?.acmechat?.accounts?.[accountId ?? "default"] ?? {
+        accountId,
+      },
+  },
+  outbound: {
+    deliveryMode: "direct",
+    sendText: async ({ text }) => {
+      // deliver `text` to your channel here
+      return { ok: true };
+    },
+  },
+};
+
+export default function (api) {
+  api.registerChannel({ plugin });
+}
+```
+
+Load the plugin (extensions dir or `plugins.load.paths`), restart the gateway,
+then configure `channels.<id>` in your config.
+
+### Agent tools
+
+See the dedicated guide: [Plugin agent tools](/plugins/agent-tools).
+
+### Register a gateway RPC method
+
+```ts
+export default function (api) {
+  api.registerGatewayMethod("myplugin.status", ({ respond }) => {
+    respond(true, { ok: true });
+  });
+}
+```
+
+### Register CLI commands
+
+```ts
+export default function (api) {
+  api.registerCli(
+    ({ program }) => {
+      program.command("mycmd").action(() => {
+        console.log("Hello");
+      });
+    },
+    { commands: ["mycmd"] },
+  );
+}
+```
+
+### Register auto-reply commands
+
+Plugins can register custom slash commands that execute **without invoking the
+AI agent**. This is useful for toggle commands, status checks, or quick actions
+that don't need LLM processing.
+
+```ts
+export default function (api) {
+  api.registerCommand({
+    name: "mystatus",
+    description: "Show plugin status",
+    handler: (ctx) => ({
+      text: `Plugin is running! Channel: ${ctx.channel}`,
+    }),
+  });
+}
+```
+
+Command handler context:
+
+- `senderId`: The sender's ID (if available)
+- `channel`: The channel where the command was sent
+- `isAuthorizedSender`: Whether the sender is an authorized user
+- `args`: Arguments passed after the command (if `acceptsArgs: true`)
+- `commandBody`: The full command text
+- `config`: The current OpenClaw config
+
+Command options:
+
+- `name`: Command name (without the leading `/`)
+- `description`: Help text shown in command lists
+- `acceptsArgs`: Whether the command accepts arguments (default: false). If false and arguments are provided, the command won't match and the message falls through to other handlers
+- `requireAuth`: Whether to require authorized sender (default: true)
+- `handler`: Function that returns `{ text: string }` (can be async)
+
+Example with authorization and arguments:
+
+```ts
+api.registerCommand({
+  name: "setmode",
+  description: "Set plugin mode",
+  acceptsArgs: true,
+  requireAuth: true,
+  handler: async (ctx) => {
+    const mode = ctx.args?.trim() || "default";
+    await saveMode(mode);
+    return { text: `Mode set to: ${mode}` };
+  },
+});
+```
+
+Notes:
+
+- Plugin commands are processed **before** built-in commands and the AI agent
+- Commands are registered globally and work across all channels
+- Command names are case-insensitive (`/MyStatus` matches `/mystatus`)
+- Command names must start with a letter and contain only letters, numbers, hyphens, and underscores
+- Reserved command names (like `help`, `status`, `reset`, etc.) cannot be overridden by plugins
+- Duplicate command registration across plugins will fail with a diagnostic error
+
+### Register background services
+
+```ts
+export default function (api) {
+  api.registerService({
+    id: "my-service",
+    start: () => api.logger.info("ready"),
+    stop: () => api.logger.info("bye"),
+  });
+}
+```
+
+## Naming conventions
+
+- Gateway methods: `pluginId.action` (example: `voicecall.status`)
+- Tools: `snake_case` (example: `voice_call`)
+- CLI commands: kebab or camel, but avoid clashing with core commands
+
+## Skills
+
+Plugins can ship a skill in the repo (`skills/<name>/SKILL.md`).
+Enable it with `plugins.entries.<id>.enabled` (or other config gates) and ensure
+it’s present in your workspace/managed skills locations.
+
+## Distribution (npm)
+
+Recommended packaging:
+
+- Main package: `openclaw` (this repo)
+- Plugins: separate npm packages under `@openclaw/*` (example: `@openclaw/voice-call`)
+
+Publishing contract:
+
+- Plugin `package.json` must include `openclaw.extensions` with one or more entry files.
+- Entry files can be `.js` or `.ts` (jiti loads TS at runtime).
+- `openclaw plugins install <npm-spec>` uses `npm pack`, extracts into `~/.openclaw/extensions/<id>/`, and enables it in config.
+- Config key stability: scoped packages are normalized to the **unscoped** id for `plugins.entries.*`.
+
+## Example plugin: Voice Call
+
+This repo includes a voice‑call plugin (Twilio or log fallback):
+
+- Source: `extensions/voice-call`
+- Skill: `skills/voice-call`
+- CLI: `openclaw voicecall start|status`
+- Tool: `voice_call`
+- RPC: `voicecall.start`, `voicecall.status`
+- Config (twilio): `provider: "twilio"` + `twilio.accountSid/authToken/from` (optional `statusCallbackUrl`, `twimlUrl`)
+- Config (dev): `provider: "log"` (no network)
+
+See [Voice Call](/plugins/voice-call) and `extensions/voice-call/README.md` for setup and usage.
+
+## Safety notes
+
+Plugins run in-process with the Gateway. Treat them as trusted code:
+
+- Only install plugins you trust.
+- Prefer `plugins.allow` allowlists.
+- Restart the Gateway after changes.
+
+## Testing plugins
+
+Plugins can (and should) ship tests:
+
+- In-repo plugins can keep Vitest tests under `src/**` (example: `src/plugins/voice-call.plugin.test.ts`).
+- Separately published plugins should run their own CI (lint/build/test) and validate `openclaw.extensions` points at the built entrypoint (`dist/index.js`).

+
+## Nested Sub-Agents
+
+By default, sub-agents cannot spawn their own sub-agents (`maxSpawnDepth: 1`). You can enable one level of nesting by setting `maxSpawnDepth: 2`, which allows the **orchestrator pattern**: main → orchestrator sub-agent → worker sub-sub-agents.
+
+### How to enable
+
+```json5
+{
+  agents: {
+    defaults: {
+      subagents: {
+        maxSpawnDepth: 2, // allow sub-agents to spawn children (default: 1)
+        maxChildrenPerAgent: 5, // max active children per agent session (default: 5)
+        maxConcurrent: 8, // global concurrency lane cap (default: 8)
+      },
+    },
+  },
+}
+```
+
+### Depth levels
+
+| Depth | Session key shape                            | Role                                          | Can spawn?                   |
+| ----- | -------------------------------------------- | --------------------------------------------- | ---------------------------- |
+| 0     | `agent:<id>:main`                            | Main agent                                    | Always                       |
+| 1     | `agent:<id>:subagent:<uuid>`                 | Sub-agent (orchestrator when depth 2 allowed) | Only if `maxSpawnDepth >= 2` |
+| 2     | `agent:<id>:subagent:<uuid>:subagent:<uuid>` | Sub-sub-agent (leaf worker)                   | Never                        |
+
+### Announce chain
+
+Results flow back up the chain:
+
+1. Depth-2 worker finishes → announces to its parent (depth-1 orchestrator)
+2. Depth-1 orchestrator receives the announce, synthesizes results, finishes → announces to main
+3. Main agent receives the announce and delivers to the user
+
+Each level only sees announces from its direct children.
+
+### Tool policy by depth
+
+- **Depth 1 (orchestrator, when `maxSpawnDepth >= 2`)**: Gets `sessions_spawn`, `subagents`, `sessions_list`, `sessions_history` so it can manage its children. Other session/system tools remain denied.
+- **Depth 1 (leaf, when `maxSpawnDepth == 1`)**: No session tools (current default behavior).
+- **Depth 2 (leaf worker)**: No session tools — `sessions_spawn` is always denied at depth 2. Cannot spawn further children.
+
+### Per-agent spawn limit
+
+Each agent session (at any depth) can have at most `maxChildrenPerAgent` (default: 5) active children at a time. This prevents runaway fan-out from a single orchestrator.
+
+### Cascade stop
+
+Stopping a depth-1 orchestrator automatically stops all its depth-2 children:
+
+- `/stop` in the main chat stops all depth-1 agents and cascades to their depth-2 children.
+- `/subagents kill <id>` stops a specific sub-agent and cascades to its children.
+- `/subagents kill all` stops all sub-agents for the requester and cascades.
 
 ## Authentication
 
 Sub-agent auth is resolved by **agent id**, not by session type:
 
 - The sub-agent session key is `agent:<agentId>:subagent:<uuid>`.
-- The auth store is loaded from that agent’s `agentDir`.
-- The main agent’s auth profiles are merged in as a **fallback**; agent profiles override main profiles on conflicts.

 - `maxChars` is clamped to `tools.web.fetch.maxCharsCap`.
+- `web_fetch` caps the downloaded response body size to `tools.web.fetch.maxResponseBytes` before parsing; oversized responses are truncated and include a warning.
 - `web_fetch` is best-effort extraction; some sites will need the browser tool.
 - See [Firecrawl](/tools/firecrawl) for key setup and service details.
 - Responses are cached (default 15 minutes) to reduce repeated fetches.

-
-# TUI (Terminal UI)
-
-## Quick start
-
-1. Start the Gateway.
-
-```bash
-openclaw gateway
-```
-
-2. Open the TUI.
-
-```bash
-openclaw tui
-```
-
-3. Type a message and press Enter.
-
-Remote Gateway:
-
-```bash
-openclaw tui --url ws://<host>:<port> --token <gateway-token>
-```
-
-Use `--password` if your Gateway uses password auth.
-
-## What you see
-
-- Header: connection URL, current agent, current session.
-- Chat log: user messages, assistant replies, system notices, tool cards.
-- Status line: connection/run state (connecting, running, streaming, idle, error).
-- Footer: connection state + agent + session + model + think/verbose/reasoning + token counts + deliver.
-- Input: text editor with autocomplete.
-
-## Mental model: agents + sessions
-
-- Agents are unique slugs (e.g. `main`, `research`). The Gateway exposes the list.
-- Sessions belong to the current agent.
-- Session keys are stored as `agent:<agentId>:<sessionKey>`.
-  - If you type `/session main`, the TUI expands it to `agent:<currentAgent>:main`.
-  - If you type `/session agent:other:main`, you switch to that agent session explicitly.
-- Session scope:
-  - `per-sender` (default): each agent has many sessions.
-  - `global`: the TUI always uses the `global` session (the picker may be empty).
-- The current agent + session are always visible in the footer.
-
-## Sending + delivery
-
-- Messages are sent to the Gateway; delivery to providers is off by default.
-- Turn delivery on:
-  - `/deliver on`
-  - or the Settings panel
-  - or start with `openclaw tui --deliver`
-
-## Pickers + overlays
-
-- Model picker: list available models and set the session override.
-- Agent picker: choose a different agent.
-- Session picker: shows only sessions for the current agent.
-- Settings: toggle deliver, tool output expansion, and thinking visibility.
-
-## Keyboard shortcuts
-
-- Enter: send message
-- Esc: abort active run
-- Ctrl+C: clear input (press twice to exit)
-- Ctrl+D: exit
-- Ctrl+L: model picker
-- Ctrl+G: agent picker
-- Ctrl+P: session picker
-- Ctrl+O: toggle tool output expansion
-- Ctrl+T: toggle thinking visibility (reloads history)
-
-## Slash commands
-
-Core:
-
-- `/help`
-- `/status`
-- `/agent <id>` (or `/agents`)
-- `/session <key>` (or `/sessions`)
-- `/model <provider/model>` (or `/models`)
-
-Session controls:
-
-- `/think <off|minimal|low|medium|high>`
-- `/verbose <on|full|off>`
-- `/reasoning <on|off|stream>`
-- `/usage <off|tokens|full>`
-- `/elevated <on|off|ask|full>` (alias: `/elev`)
-- `/activation <mention|always>`
-- `/deliver <on|off>`
-
-Session lifecycle:
-
-- `/new` or `/reset` (reset the session)
-- `/abort` (abort the active run)
-- `/settings`
-- `/exit`
-
-Other Gateway slash commands (for example, `/context`) are forwarded to the Gateway and shown as system output. See [Slash commands](/tools/slash-commands).
-
-## Local shell commands
-
-- Prefix a line with `!` to run a local shell command on the TUI host.
-- The TUI prompts once per session to allow local execution; declining keeps `!` disabled for the session.
-- Commands run in a fresh, non-interactive shell in the TUI working directory (no persistent `cd`/env).
-- A lone `!` is sent as a normal message; leading spaces do not trigger local exec.
-
-## Tool output
-
-- Tool calls show as cards with args + results.
-- Ctrl+O toggles between collapsed/expanded views.
-- While tools run, partial updates stream into the same card.
-
-## History + streaming
-
-- On connect, the TUI loads the latest history (default 200 messages).
-- Streaming responses update in place until finalized.
-- The TUI also listens to agent tool events for richer tool cards.
-
-## Connection details
-
-- The TUI registers with the Gateway as `mode: "tui"`.
-- Reconnects show a system message; event gaps are surfaced in the log.
-
-## Options
-
-- `--url <url>`: Gateway WebSocket URL (defaults to config or `ws://127.0.0.1:<port>`)
-- `--token <token>`: Gateway token (if required)
-- `--password <password>`: Gateway password (if required)
-- `--session <key>`: Session key (default: `main`, or `global` when scope is global)
-- `--deliver`: Deliver assistant replies to the provider (default off)
-- `--thinking <level>`: Override thinking level for sends
-- `--timeout-ms <ms>`: Agent timeout in ms (defaults to `agents.defaults.timeoutSeconds`)
-
-Note: when you set `--url`, the TUI does not fall back to config or environment credentials.
-Pass `--token` or `--password` explicitly. Missing explicit credentials is an error.
-
-## Troubleshooting
-
-No output after sending a message:
-
-- Run `/status` in the TUI to confirm the Gateway is connected and idle/busy.
-- Check the Gateway logs: `openclaw logs --follow`.
-- Confirm the agent can run: `openclaw status` and `openclaw models status`.
-- If you expect messages in a chat channel, enable delivery (`/deliver on` or `--deliver`).
-- `--history-limit <n>`: History entries to load (default 200)
-
-## Troubleshooting
-
-- `disconnected`: ensure the Gateway is running and your `--url/--token/--password` are correct.
-- No agents in picker: check `openclaw agents list` and your routing config.
-- Empty session picker: you might be in global scope or have no sessions yet.

+# Hooks
+
+Hooks 提供了一个可扩展的事件驱动系统，用于响应智能体命令和事件自动执行操作。Hooks 从目录中自动发现，可以通过 CLI 命令管理，类似于 OpenClaw 中 Skills 的工作方式。
+
+## 入门指南
+
+Hooks 是在事件发生时运行的小脚本。有两种类型：
+
+- **Hooks**（本页）：当智能体事件触发时在 Gateway 网关内运行，如 `/new`、`/reset`、`/stop` 或生命周期事件。
+- **Webhooks**：外部 HTTP webhooks，让其他系统触发 OpenClaw 中的工作。参见 [Webhook Hooks](/automation/webhook) 或使用 `openclaw webhooks` 获取 Gmail 助手命令。
+
+Hooks 也可以捆绑在插件中；参见 [插件](/tools/plugin#plugin-hooks)。
+
+常见用途：
+
+- 重置会话时保存记忆快照
+- 保留命令审计跟踪用于故障排除或合规
+- 会话开始或结束时触发后续自动化
+- 事件触发时向智能体工作区写入文件或调用外部 API
+
+如果你能写一个小的 TypeScript 函数，你就能写一个 hook。Hooks 会自动发现，你可以通过 CLI 启用或禁用它们。
+
+## 概述
+
+hooks 系统允许你：
+
+- 在发出 `/new` 时将会话上下文保存到记忆
+- 记录所有命令以供审计
+- 在智能体生命周期事件上触发自定义自动化
+- 在不修改核心代码的情况下扩展 OpenClaw 的行为
+
+## 入门
+
+### 捆绑的 Hooks
+
+OpenClaw 附带三个自动发现的捆绑 hooks：
+
+- **💾 session-memory**：当你发出 `/new` 时将会话上下文保存到智能体工作区（默认 `~/.openclaw/workspace/memory/`）
+- **📝 command-logger**：将所有命令事件记录到 `~/.openclaw/logs/commands.log`
+- **🚀 boot-md**：当 Gateway 网关启动时运行 `BOOT.md`（需要启用内部 hooks）
+
+列出可用的 hooks：
+
+```bash
+openclaw hooks list
+```
+
+启用一个 hook：
+
+```bash
+openclaw hooks enable session-memory
+```
+
+检查 hook 状态：
+
+```bash
+openclaw hooks check
+```
+
+获取详细信息：
+
+```bash
+openclaw hooks info session-memory
+```
+
+### 新手引导
+
+在新手引导期间（`openclaw onboard`），你将被提示启用推荐的 hooks。向导会自动发现符合条件的 hooks 并呈现供选择。
+
+## Hook 发现
+
+Hooks 从三个目录自动发现（按优先级顺序）：
+
+1. **工作区 hooks**：`<workspace>/hooks/`（每智能体，最高优先级）
+2. **托管 hooks**：`~/.openclaw/hooks/`（用户安装，跨工作区共享）
+3. **捆绑 hooks**：`<openclaw>/dist/hooks/bundled/`（随 OpenClaw 附带）
+
+托管 hook 目录可以是**单个 hook** 或 **hook 包**（包目录）。
+
+每个 hook 是一个包含以下内容的目录：
+
+```
+my-hook/
+├── HOOK.md          # 元数据 + 文档
+└── handler.ts       # 处理程序实现
+```
+
+## Hook 包（npm/archives）
+
+Hook 包是标准的 npm 包，通过 `package.json` 中的 `openclaw.hooks` 导出一个或多个 hooks。使用以下命令安装：
+
+```bash
+openclaw hooks install <path-or-spec>
+```
+
+示例 `package.json`：
+
+```json
+{
+  "name": "@acme/my-hooks",
+  "version": "0.1.0",
+  "openclaw": {
+    "hooks": ["./hooks/my-hook", "./hooks/other-hook"]
+  }
+}
+```
+
+每个条目指向包含 `HOOK.md` 和 `handler.ts`（或 `index.ts`）的 hook 目录。
+Hook 包可以附带依赖；它们将安装在 `~/.openclaw/hooks/<id>` 下。
+
+## Hook 结构
+
+### HOOK.md 格式
+
+`HOOK.md` 文件在 YAML frontmatter 中包含元数据，加上 Markdown 文档：
+
+```markdown
+---
+name: my-hook
+description: "Short description of what this hook does"
+homepage: https://docs.openclaw.ai/automation/hooks#my-hook
+metadata:
+  { "openclaw": { "emoji": "🔗", "events": ["command:new"], "requires": { "bins": ["node"] } } }
+---
+
+# My Hook
+
+Detailed documentation goes here...
+
+## What It Does
+
+- Listens for `/new` commands
+- Performs some action
+- Logs the result
+
+## Requirements
+
+- Node.js must be installed
+
+## Configuration
+
+No configuration needed.

+  - **`bins`**：PATH 中需要的二进制文件（例如 `["git", "node"]`）
+  - **`anyBins`**：这些二进制文件中至少有一个必须存在
+  - **`env`**：需要的环境变量
+  - **`config`**：需要的配置路径（例如 `["workspace.dir"]`）
+  - **`os`**：需要的平台（例如 `["darwin", "linux"]`）
+- **`always`**：绕过资格检查（布尔值）
+- **`install`**：安装方法（对于捆绑 hooks：`[{"id":"bundled","kind":"bundled"}]`）
+
+### 处理程序实现
+
+`handler.ts` 文件导出一个 `HookHandler` 函数：
+
+```typescript
+import type { HookHandler } from "../../src/hooks/hooks.js";
+
+const myHandler: HookHandler = async (event) => {
+  // Only trigger on 'new' command
+  if (event.type !== "command" || event.action !== "new") {
+    return;
+  }
+
+  console.log(`[my-hook] New command triggered`);
+  console.log(`  Session: ${event.sessionKey}`);
+  console.log(`  Timestamp: ${event.timestamp.toISOString()}`);
+
+  // Your custom logic here
+
+  // Optionally send message to user
+  event.messages.push("✨ My hook executed!");
+};
+
+export default myHandler;
+```
+
+#### 事件上下文
+
+每个事件包含：
+
+```typescript
+{
+  type: 'command' | 'session' | 'agent' | 'gateway',
+  action: string,              // e.g., 'new', 'reset', 'stop'
+  sessionKey: string,          // Session identifier
+  timestamp: Date,             // When the event occurred
+  messages: string[],          // Push messages here to send to user
+  context: {
+    sessionEntry?: SessionEntry,
+    sessionId?: string,
+    sessionFile?: string,
+    commandSource?: string,    // e.g., 'whatsapp', 'telegram'
+    senderId?: string,
+    workspaceDir?: string,
+    bootstrapFiles?: WorkspaceBootstrapFile[],
+    cfg?: OpenClawConfig
+  }
+}
+```
+
+## 事件类型
+
+### 命令事件
+
+当发出智能体命令时触发：
+
+- **`command`**：所有命令事件（通用监听器）
+- **`command:new`**：当发出 `/new` 命令时
+- **`command:reset`**：当发出 `/reset` 命令时
+- **`command:stop`**：当发出 `/stop` 命令时
+
+### 智能体事件
+
+- **`agent:bootstrap`**：在注入工作区引导文件之前（hooks 可以修改 `context.bootstrapFiles`）
+
+### Gateway 网关事件
+
+当 Gateway 网关启动时触发：
+
+- **`gateway:startup`**：在渠道启动和 hooks 加载之后
+
+### 工具结果 Hooks（插件 API）
+
+这些 hooks 不是事件流监听器；它们让插件在 OpenClaw 持久化工具结果之前同步调整它们。
+
+- **`tool_result_persist`**：在工具结果写入会话记录之前转换它们。必须是同步的；返回更新后的工具结果负载或 `undefined` 保持原样。参见 [智能体循环](/concepts/agent-loop)。
+
+### 未来事件
+
+计划中的事件类型：
+
+- **`session:start`**：当新会话开始时
+- **`session:end`**：当会话结束时
+- **`agent:error`**：当智能体遇到错误时
+- **`message:sent`**：当消息被发送时
+- **`message:received`**：当消息被接收时
+
+## 创建自定义 Hooks
+
+### 1. 选择位置
+
+- **工作区 hooks**（`<workspace>/hooks/`）：每智能体，最高优先级
+- **托管 hooks**（`~/.openclaw/hooks/`）：跨工作区共享
+
+### 2. 创建目录结构
+
+```bash
+mkdir -p ~/.openclaw/hooks/my-hook
+cd ~/.openclaw/hooks/my-hook
+```
+
+### 3. 创建 HOOK.md
+
+```markdown
+---
+name: my-hook
+description: "Does something useful"
+metadata: { "openclaw": { "emoji": "🎯", "events": ["command:new"] } }
+---
+
+# My Custom Hook
+
+This hook does something useful when you issue `/new`.
+```
+
+### 4. 创建 handler.ts
+
+```typescript
+import type { HookHandler } from "../../src/hooks/hooks.js";
+
+const handler: HookHandler = async (event) => {
+  if (event.type !== "command" || event.action !== "new") {
+    return;
+  }
+
+  console.log("[my-hook] Running!");
+  // Your logic here
+};
+
+export default handler;
+```
+
+### 5. 启用并测试
+
+```bash
+# Verify hook is discovered
+openclaw hooks list
+
+# Enable it
+openclaw hooks enable my-hook
+
+# Restart your gateway process (menu bar app restart on macOS, or restart your dev process)
+
+# Trigger the event
+# Send /new via your messaging channel
+```
+
+## 配置
+
+### 新配置格式（推荐）
+
+```json
+{
+  "hooks": {
+    "internal": {
+      "enabled": true,
+      "entries": {
+        "session-memory": { "enabled": true },
+        "command-logger": { "enabled": false }
+      }
+    }
+  }
+}
+```
+
+### 每 Hook 配置
+
+Hooks 可以有自定义配置：
+
+```json
+{
+  "hooks": {
+    "internal": {
+      "enabled": true,
+      "entries": {
+        "my-hook": {
+          "enabled": true,
+          "env": {
+            "MY_CUSTOM_VAR": "value"
+          }
+        }
+      }
+    }
+  }
+}
+```
+
+### 额外目录
+
+从额外目录加载 hooks：
+
+```json
+{
+  "hooks": {
+    "internal": {
+      "enabled": true,
+      "load": {
+        "extraDirs": ["/path/to/more/hooks"]
+      }
+    }
+  }
+}
+```
+
+### 遗留配置格式（仍然支持）
+
+旧配置格式仍然有效以保持向后兼容：
+
+```json
+{
+  "hooks": {
+    "internal": {
+      "enabled": true,
+      "handlers": [
+        {
+          "event": "command:new",
+          "module": "./hooks/handlers/my-handler.ts",
+          "export": "default"
+        }
+      ]
+    }
+  }
+}
+```
+
+**迁移**：对新 hooks 使用基于发现的新系统。遗留处理程序在基于目录的 hooks 之后加载。
+
+## CLI 命令
+
+### 列出 Hooks
+
+```bash
+# List all hooks
+openclaw hooks list
+
+# Show only eligible hooks
+openclaw hooks list --eligible
+
+# Verbose output (show missing requirements)
+openclaw hooks list --verbose
+
+# JSON output
+openclaw hooks list --json
+```
+
+### Hook 信息
+
+```bash
+# Show detailed info about a hook
+openclaw hooks info session-memory
+
+# JSON output
+openclaw hooks info session-memory --json
+```
+
+### 检查资格
+
+```bash
+# Show eligibility summary
+openclaw hooks check
+
+# JSON output
+openclaw hooks check --json
+```
+
+### 启用/禁用
+
+```bash
+# Enable a hook
+openclaw hooks enable session-memory
+
+# Disable a hook
+openclaw hooks disable command-logger
+```
+
+## 捆绑的 Hooks
+
+### session-memory
+
+当你发出 `/new` 时将会话上下文保存到记忆。
+
+**事件**：`command:new`
+
+**要求**：必须配置 `workspace.dir`
+
+**输出**：`<workspace>/memory/YYYY-MM-DD-slug.md`（默认为 `~/.openclaw/workspace`）
+
+**功能**：
+
+1. 使用预重置会话条目定位正确的记录
+2. 提取最后 15 行对话
+3. 使用 LLM 生成描述性文件名 slug
+4. 将会话元数据保存到带日期的记忆文件
+
+**示例输出**：
+
+```markdown
+# Session: 2026-01-16 14:30:00 UTC
+
+- **Session Key**: agent:main:main
+- **Session ID**: abc123def456
+- **Source**: telegram
+```
+
+**文件名示例**：
+
+- `2026-01-16-vendor-pitch.md`
+- `2026-01-16-api-design.md`
+- `2026-01-16-1430.md`（如果 slug 生成失败则回退到时间戳）
+
+**启用**：
+
+```bash
+openclaw hooks enable session-memory
+```
+
+### command-logger
+
+将所有命令事件记录到集中审计文件。
+
+**事件**：`command`
+
+**要求**：无
+
+**输出**：`~/.openclaw/logs/commands.log`
+
+**功能**：
+
+1. 捕获事件详情（命令操作、时间戳、会话键、发送者 ID、来源）
+2. 以 JSONL 格式追加到日志文件
+3. 在后台静默运行
+
+**示例日志条目**：
+
+```jsonl
+{"timestamp":"2026-01-16T14:30:00.000Z","action":"new","sessionKey":"agent:main:main","senderId":"+1234567890","source":"telegram"}
+{"timestamp":"2026-01-16T15:45:22.000Z","action":"stop","sessionKey":"agent:main:main","senderId":"user@example.com","source":"whatsapp"}
+```
+
+**查看日志**：
+
+```bash
+# View recent commands
+tail -n 20 ~/.openclaw/logs/commands.log
+
+# Pretty-print with jq
+cat ~/.openclaw/logs/commands.log | jq .
+
+# Filter by action
+grep '"action":"new"' ~/.openclaw/logs/commands.log | jq .
+```
+
+**启用**：
+
+```bash
+openclaw hooks enable command-logger
+```
+
+### boot-md
+
+当 Gateway 网关启动时运行 `BOOT.md`（在渠道启动之后）。
+必须启用内部 hooks 才能运行。
+
+**事件**：`gateway:startup`
+
+**要求**：必须配置 `workspace.dir`
+
+**功能**：
+
+1. 从你的工作区读取 `BOOT.md`
+2. 通过智能体运行器运行指令
+3. 通过 message 工具发送任何请求的出站消息
+
+**启用**：
+
+```bash
+openclaw hooks enable boot-md
+```
+
+## 最佳实践
+
+### 保持处理程序快速
+
+Hooks 在命令处理期间运行。保持它们轻量：
+
+```typescript
+// ✓ Good - async work, returns immediately
+const handler: HookHandler = async (event) => {
+  void processInBackground(event); // Fire and forget
+};
+
+// ✗ Bad - blocks command processing
+const handler: HookHandler = async (event) => {
+  await slowDatabaseQuery(event);
+  await evenSlowerAPICall(event);
+};
+```
+
+### 优雅处理错误
+
+始终包装有风险的操作：
+
+```typescript
+const handler: HookHandler = async (event) => {
+  try {
+    await riskyOperation(event);
+  } catch (err) {
+    console.error("[my-handler] Failed:", err instanceof Error ? err.message : String(err));
+    // Don't throw - let other handlers run
+  }
+};
+```
+
+### 尽早过滤事件
+
+如果事件不相关则尽早返回：
+
+```typescript
+const handler: HookHandler = async (event) => {
+  // Only handle 'new' commands
+  if (event.type !== "command" || event.action !== "new") {
+    return;
+  }
+
+  // Your logic here
+};
+```
+
+### 使用特定事件键
+
+尽可能在元数据中指定确切事件：
+
+```yaml
+metadata: { "openclaw": { "events": ["command:new"] } } # Specific
+```
+
+而不是：
+
+```yaml
+metadata: { "openclaw": { "events": ["command"] } } # General - more overhead
+```
+
+## 调试
+
+### 启用 Hook 日志
+
+Gateway 网关在启动时记录 hook 加载：
+
+```
+Registered hook: session-memory -> command:new
+Registered hook: command-logger -> command
+Registered hook: boot-md -> gateway:startup
+```
+
+### 检查发现
+
+列出所有发现的 hooks：
+
+```bash
+openclaw hooks list --verbose
+```
+
+### 检查注册
+
+在你的处理程序中，记录它被调用的时间：
+
+```typescript
+const handler: HookHandler = async (event) => {
+  console.log("[my-handler] Triggered:", event.type, event.action);
+  // Your logic
+};
+```
+
+### 验证资格
+
+检查为什么 hook 不符合条件：
+
+```bash
+openclaw hooks info my-hook
+```
+
+在输出中查找缺失的要求。
+
+## 测试
+
+### Gateway 网关日志
+
+监控 Gateway 网关日志以查看 hook 执行：
+
+```bash
+# macOS
+./scripts/clawlog.sh -f
+
+# Other platforms
+tail -f ~/.openclaw/gateway.log
+```
+
+### 直接测试 Hooks
+
+隔离测试你的处理程序：
+
+```typescript
+import { test } from "vitest";
+import { createHookEvent } from "./src/hooks/hooks.js";
+import myHandler from "./hooks/my-hook/handler.js";
+
+test("my handler works", async () => {
+  const event = createHookEvent("command", "new", "test-session", {
+    foo: "bar",
+  });
+
+  await myHandler(event);
+
+  // Assert side effects
+});
+```
+
+## 架构
+
+### 核心组件
+
+- **`src/hooks/types.ts`**：类型定义
+- **`src/hooks/workspace.ts`**：目录扫描和加载

+
+## 故障排除
+
+### Hook 未被发现
+
+1. 检查目录结构：
+
+   ```bash
+   ls -la ~/.openclaw/hooks/my-hook/
+   # Should show: HOOK.md, handler.ts
+   ```
+
+2. 验证 HOOK.md 格式：
+
+   ```bash
+   cat ~/.openclaw/hooks/my-hook/HOOK.md
+   # Should have YAML frontmatter with name and metadata
+   ```
+
+3. 列出所有发现的 hooks：
+   ```bash
+   openclaw hooks list
+   ```
+
+### Hook 不符合条件
+
+检查要求：
+
+```bash
+openclaw hooks info my-hook
+```
+
+查找缺失的：
+
+- 二进制文件（检查 PATH）
+- 环境变量
+- 配置值
+- 操作系统兼容性
+
+### Hook 未执行
+
+1. 验证 hook 已启用：
+
+   ```bash
+   openclaw hooks list
+   # Should show ✓ next to enabled hooks
+   ```
+
+2. 重启你的 Gateway 网关进程以重新加载 hooks。
+
+3. 检查 Gateway 网关日志中的错误：
+   ```bash
+   ./scripts/clawlog.sh | grep hook
+   ```
+
+### 处理程序错误
+
+检查 TypeScript/import 错误：
+
+```bash
+# Test import directly
+node -e "import('./path/to/handler.ts').then(console.log)"
+```
+
+## 迁移指南
+
+### 从遗留配置到发现
+
+**之前**：
+
+```json
+{
+  "hooks": {
+    "internal": {
+      "enabled": true,
+      "handlers": [
+        {
+          "event": "command:new",
+          "module": "./hooks/handlers/my-handler.ts"
+        }
+      ]
+    }
+  }
+}
+```
+
+**之后**：
+
+1. 创建 hook 目录：
+
+   ```bash
+   mkdir -p ~/.openclaw/hooks/my-hook
+   mv ./hooks/handlers/my-handler.ts ~/.openclaw/hooks/my-hook/handler.ts
+   ```
+
+2. 创建 HOOK.md：
+
+   ```markdown
+   ---
+   name: my-hook
+   description: "My custom hook"
+   metadata: { "openclaw": { "emoji": "🎯", "events": ["command:new"] } }
+   ---
+
+   # My Hook
+
+   Does something useful.
+   ```
+
+3. 更新配置：
+
+   ```json
+   {
+     "hooks": {
+       "internal": {
+         "enabled": true,
+         "entries": {
+           "my-hook": { "enabled": true }
+         }
+       }
+     }
+   }
+   ```
+
+4. 验证并重启你的 Gateway 网关进程：
+   ```bash
+   openclaw hooks list
+   # Should show: 🎯 my-hook ✓
+   ```
+
+**迁移的好处**：
+
+- 自动发现
+- CLI 管理
+- 资格检查
+- 更好的文档
+- 一致的结构

-# Amazon Bedrock
-
-OpenClaw 可以通过 pi‑ai 的 **Bedrock Converse** 流式提供商使用 **Amazon Bedrock** 模型。Bedrock 认证使用 **AWS SDK 默认凭证链**，而非 API 密钥。
-
-## pi‑ai 支持的功能
-
-- 提供商：`amazon-bedrock`
-- API：`bedrock-converse-stream`
-- 认证：AWS 凭证（环境变量、共享配置或实例角色）
-- 区域：`AWS_REGION` 或 `AWS_DEFAULT_REGION`（默认：`us-east-1`）
-
-## 自动模型发现
-
-如果检测到 AWS 凭证，OpenClaw 可以自动发现支持**流式传输**和**文本输出**的 Bedrock 模型。发现功能使用 `bedrock:ListFoundationModels`，并会被缓存（默认：1 小时）。
-
-配置选项位于 `models.bedrockDiscovery` 下：
-
-```json5
-{
-  models: {
-    bedrockDiscovery: {
-      enabled: true,
-      region: "us-east-1",
-      providerFilter: ["anthropic", "amazon"],
-      refreshInterval: 3600,
-      defaultContextWindow: 32000,
-      defaultMaxTokens: 4096,
-    },
-  },
-}
-```
-
-注意事项：
-
-- `enabled` 在存在 AWS 凭证时默认为 `true`。
-- `region` 默认为 `AWS_REGION` 或 `AWS_DEFAULT_REGION`，然后是 `us-east-1`。
-- `providerFilter` 匹配 Bedrock 提供商名称（例如 `anthropic`）。
-- `refreshInterval` 单位为秒；设置为 `0` 可禁用缓存。
-- `defaultContextWindow`（默认：`32000`）和 `defaultMaxTokens`（默认：`4096`）用于已发现的模型（如果你知道模型限制，可以覆盖这些值）。
-
-## 设置（手动）
-
-1. 确保 AWS 凭证在 **Gateway 网关主机**上可用：
-
-```bash
-export AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID="AKIA..."
-export AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY="..."
-export AWS_REGION="us-east-1"
-# 可选：
-export AWS_SESSION_TOKEN="..."
-export AWS_PROFILE="your-profile"
-# 可选（Bedrock API 密钥/Bearer 令牌）：
-export AWS_BEARER_TOKEN_BEDROCK="..."
-```
-
-2. 在配置中添加 Bedrock 提供商和模型（无需 `apiKey`）：
-
-```json5
-{
-  models: {
-    providers: {
-      "amazon-bedrock": {
-        baseUrl: "https://bedrock-runtime.us-east-1.amazonaws.com",
-        api: "bedrock-converse-stream",
-        auth: "aws-sdk",
-        models: [
-          {
-            id: "anthropic.claude-opus-4-5-20251101-v1:0",
-            name: "Claude Opus 4.5 (Bedrock)",
-            reasoning: true,
-            input: ["text", "image"],
-            cost: { input: 0, output: 0, cacheRead: 0, cacheWrite: 0 },
-            contextWindow: 200000,
-            maxTokens: 8192,
-          },
-        ],
-      },
-    },
-  },
-  agents: {
-    defaults: {
-      model: { primary: "amazon-bedrock/anthropic.claude-opus-4-5-20251101-v1:0" },
-    },
-  },
-}
-```
-
-## EC2 实例角色
-
-当在附加了 IAM 角色的 EC2 实例上运行 OpenClaw 时，AWS SDK 会自动使用实例元数据服务（IMDS）进行认证。但是，OpenClaw 的凭证检测目前只检查环境变量，不检查 IMDS 凭证。
-
-**解决方法：** 设置 `AWS_PROFILE=default` 以表明 AWS 凭证可用。实际认证仍然通过 IMDS 使用实例角色。
-
-```bash
-# 添加到 ~/.bashrc 或你的 shell 配置文件
-export AWS_PROFILE=default
-export AWS_REGION=us-east-1
-```
-
-EC2 实例角色**所需的 IAM 权限**：
-
-- `bedrock:InvokeModel`
-- `bedrock:InvokeModelWithResponseStream`
-- `bedrock:ListFoundationModels`（用于自动发现）
-
-或者附加托管策略 `AmazonBedrockFullAccess`。
-
-**快速设置：**
-
-```bash
-# 1. 创建 IAM 角色和实例配置文件
-aws iam create-role --role-name EC2-Bedrock-Access \
-  --assume-role-policy-document '{
-    "Version": "2012-10-17",
-    "Statement": [{

-
-## 注意事项
-
-- Bedrock 需要在你的 AWS 账户/区域中启用**模型访问**。
-- 自动发现需要 `bedrock:ListFoundationModels` 权限。
-- 如果你使用配置文件，请在 Gateway 网关主机上设置 `AWS_PROFILE`。
-- OpenClaw 按以下顺序获取凭证来源：`AWS_BEARER_TOKEN_BEDROCK`，然后是 `AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID` + `AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY`，然后是 `AWS_PROFILE`，最后是默认的 AWS SDK 链。
-- 推理支持取决于模型；请查看 Bedrock 模型卡了解当前功能。
-- 如果你更喜欢托管密钥流程，也可以在 Bedrock 前面放置一个 OpenAI 兼容的代理，并将其配置为 OpenAI 提供商。

-# 广播群组
-
-**状态：** 实验性功能  
-**版本：** 于 2026.1.9 版本新增
-
-## 概述
-
-广播群组允许多个智能体同时处理并响应同一条消息。这使你能够在单个 WhatsApp 群组或私信中创建协同工作的专业智能体团队——全部使用同一个手机号码。
-
-当前范围：**仅限 WhatsApp**（web 渠道）。
-
-广播群组在渠道白名单和群组激活规则之后进行评估。在 WhatsApp 群组中，这意味着广播会在 OpenClaw 正常回复时发生（例如：被提及时，具体取决于你的群组设置）。
-
-## 使用场景
-
-### 1. 专业智能体团队
-
-部署多个具有原子化、专注职责的智能体：
-
-```
-Group: "Development Team"
-Agents:
-  - CodeReviewer (reviews code snippets)
-  - DocumentationBot (generates docs)
-  - SecurityAuditor (checks for vulnerabilities)
-  - TestGenerator (suggests test cases)
-```
-
-每个智能体处理相同的消息并提供其专业视角。
-
-### 2. 多语言支持
-
-```
-Group: "International Support"
-Agents:
-  - Agent_EN (responds in English)
-  - Agent_DE (responds in German)
-  - Agent_ES (responds in Spanish)
-```
-
-### 3. 质量保证工作流
-
-```
-Group: "Customer Support"
-Agents:
-  - SupportAgent (provides answer)
-  - QAAgent (reviews quality, only responds if issues found)
-```
-
-### 4. 任务自动化
-
-```
-Group: "Project Management"
-Agents:
-  - TaskTracker (updates task database)
-  - TimeLogger (logs time spent)
-  - ReportGenerator (creates summaries)
-```
-
-## 配置
-
-### 基本设置
-
-添加一个顶层 `broadcast` 部分（与 `bindings` 同级）。键为 WhatsApp peer id：
-
-- 群聊：群组 JID（例如 `120363403215116621@g.us`）
-- 私信：E.164 格式的电话号码（例如 `+15551234567`）
-
-```json
-{
-  "broadcast": {
-    "120363403215116621@g.us": ["alfred", "baerbel", "assistant3"]
-  }
-}
-```
-
-**结果：** 当 OpenClaw 在此聊天中回复时，将运行所有三个智能体。
-
-### 处理策略
-
-控制智能体如何处理消息：
-
-#### 并行（默认）
-
-所有智能体同时处理：
-
-```json
-{
-  "broadcast": {
-    "strategy": "parallel",
-    "120363403215116621@g.us": ["alfred", "baerbel"]
-  }
-}
-```
-
-#### 顺序
-
-智能体按顺序处理（后一个等待前一个完成）：
-
-```json
-{
-  "broadcast": {
-    "strategy": "sequential",
-    "120363403215116621@g.us": ["alfred", "baerbel"]
-  }
-}
-```
-
-### 完整示例
-
-```json
-{
-  "agents": {
-    "list": [
-      {
-        "id": "code-reviewer",
-        "name": "Code Reviewer",
-        "workspace": "/path/to/code-reviewer",
-        "sandbox": { "mode": "all" }
-      },
-      {
-        "id": "security-auditor",
-        "name": "Security Auditor",
-        "workspace": "/path/to/security-auditor",
-        "sandbox": { "mode": "all" }
-      },
-      {
-        "id": "docs-generator",
-        "name": "Documentation Generator",
-        "workspace": "/path/to/docs-generator",
-        "sandbox": { "mode": "all" }
-      }
-    ]
-  },
-  "broadcast": {
-    "strategy": "parallel",
-    "120363403215116621@g.us": ["code-reviewer", "security-auditor", "docs-generator"],
-    "120363424282127706@g.us": ["support-en", "support-de"],
-    "+15555550123": ["assistant", "logger"]
-  }
-}
-```
-
-## 工作原理
-
-### 消息流程
-
-1. **接收消息** 到达 WhatsApp 群组
-2. **广播检查**：系统检查 peer ID 是否在 `broadcast` 中
-3. **如果在广播列表中**：
-   - 所有列出的智能体处理该消息
-   - 每个智能体有自己的会话键和隔离的上下文
-   - 智能体并行处理（默认）或顺序处理
-4. **如果不在广播列表中**：
-   - 应用正常路由（第一个匹配的绑定）
-
-注意：广播群组不会绕过渠道白名单或群组激活规则（提及/命令等）。它们只改变消息符合处理条件时*运行哪些智能体*。
-
-### 会话隔离
-
-广播群组中的每个智能体完全独立维护：
-
-- **会话键**（`agent:alfred:whatsapp:group:120363...` vs `agent:baerbel:whatsapp:group:120363...`）
-- **对话历史**（智能体看不到其他智能体的消息）
-- **工作空间**（如果配置了则使用独立的沙箱）
-- **工具访问权限**（不同的允许/拒绝列表）
-- **记忆/上下文**（独立的 IDENTITY.md、SOUL.md 等）
-- **群组上下文缓冲区**（用于上下文的最近群组消息）按 peer 共享，因此所有广播智能体在被触发时看到相同的上下文
-
-这允许每个智能体拥有：
-
-- 不同的个性
-- 不同的工具访问权限（例如只读 vs 读写）
-- 不同的模型（例如 opus vs sonnet）
-- 不同的已安装 Skills
-
-### 示例：隔离的会话
-
-在群组 `120363403215116621@g.us` 中，智能体为 `["alfred", "baerbel"]`：
-
-**Alfred 的上下文：**
-
-```
-Session: agent:alfred:whatsapp:group:120363403215116621@g.us
-History: [user message, alfred's previous responses]
-Workspace: /Users/pascal/openclaw-alfred/
-Tools: read, write, exec
-```
-
-**Bärbel 的上下文：**
-
-```
-Session: agent:baerbel:whatsapp:group:120363403215116621@g.us
-History: [user message, baerbel's previous responses]
-Workspace: /Users/pascal/openclaw-baerbel/
-Tools: read only
-```
-
-## 最佳实践
-
-### 1. 保持智能体专注
-
-将每个智能体设计为具有单一、明确的职责：
-
-```json
-{
-  "broadcast": {
-    "DEV_GROUP": ["formatter", "linter", "tester"]
-  }
-}
-```
-
-✅ **好的做法：** 每个智能体只有一个任务  
-❌ **不好的做法：** 一个通用的"dev-helper"智能体
-
-### 2. 使用描述性名称
-
-明确每个智能体的功能：
-
-```json
-{
-  "agents": {
-    "security-scanner": { "name": "Security Scanner" },
-    "code-formatter": { "name": "Code Formatter" },
-    "test-generator": { "name": "Test Generator" }
-  }
-}
-```
-
-### 3. 配置不同的工具访问权限
-
-只给智能体提供它们需要的工具：
-
-```json
-{
-  "agents": {
-    "reviewer": {
-      "tools": { "allow": ["read", "exec"] } // Read-only
-    },
-    "fixer": {
-      "tools": { "allow": ["read", "write", "edit", "exec"] } // Read-write
-    }
-  }
-}
-```
-
-### 4. 监控性能
-
-当有多个智能体时，请考虑：
-
-- 使用 `"strategy": "parallel"`（默认）以提高速度
-- 将广播群组限制在 5-10 个智能体
-- 为较简单的智能体使用较快的模型
-
-### 5. 优雅地处理失败
-
-智能体独立失败。一个智能体的错误不会阻塞其他智能体：
-
-```
-Message → [Agent A ✓, Agent B ✗ error, Agent C ✓]
-Result: Agent A and C respond, Agent B logs error
-```
-
-## 兼容性
-
-### 提供商
-
-广播群组目前支持：
-
-- ✅ WhatsApp（已实现）
-- 🚧 Telegram（计划中）
-- 🚧 Discord（计划中）
-- 🚧 Slack（计划中）
-
-### 路由
-
-广播群组与现有路由一起工作：
-
-```json
-{
-  "bindings": [
-    {
-      "match": { "channel": "whatsapp", "peer": { "kind": "group", "id": "GROUP_A" } },
-      "agentId": "alfred"
-    }
-  ],
-  "broadcast": {
-    "GROUP_B": ["agent1", "agent2"]
-  }
-}
-```
-
-- `GROUP_A`：只有 alfred 响应（正常路由）
-- `GROUP_B`：agent1 和 agent2 都响应（广播）
-
-**优先级：** `broadcast` 优先于 `bindings`。
-
-## 故障排除
-
-### 智能体不响应
-
-**检查：**
-
-1. 智能体 ID 存在于 `agents.list` 中
-2. Peer ID 格式正确（例如 `120363403215116621@g.us`）
-3. 智能体不在拒绝列表中
-
-**调试：**
-
-```bash
-tail -f ~/.openclaw/logs/gateway.log | grep broadcast
-```
-
-### 只有一个智能体响应
-
-**原因：** Peer ID 可能在 `bindings` 中但不在 `broadcast` 中。
-
-**修复：** 添加到广播配置或从绑定中移除。
-
-### 性能问题
-
-**如果智能体较多时速度较慢：**
-
-- 减少每个群组的智能体数量
-- 使用较轻的模型（sonnet 而非 opus）
-- 检查沙箱启动时间
-
-## 示例
-
-### 示例 1：代码审查团队
-
-```json
-{
-  "broadcast": {
-    "strategy": "parallel",
-    "120363403215116621@g.us": [
-      "code-formatter",
-      "security-scanner",
-      "test-coverage",
-      "docs-checker"
-    ]
-  },
-  "agents": {
-    "list": [
-      {
-        "id": "code-formatter",
-        "workspace": "~/agents/formatter",
-        "tools": { "allow": ["read", "write"] }
-      },
-      {
-        "id": "security-scanner",
-        "workspace": "~/agents/security",
-        "tools": { "allow": ["read", "exec"] }
-      },
-      {
-        "id": "test-coverage",
-        "workspace": "~/agents/testing",
-        "tools": { "allow": ["read", "exec"] }
-      },
-      { "id": "docs-checker", "workspace": "~/agents/docs", "tools": { "allow": ["read"] } }
-    ]
-  }
-}
-```
-
-**用户发送：** 代码片段  
-**响应：**
-
-- code-formatter："修复了缩进并添加了类型提示"
-- security-scanner："⚠️ 第 12 行存在 SQL 注入漏洞"
-- test-coverage："覆盖率为 45%，缺少错误情况的测试"
-- docs-checker："函数 `process_data` 缺少文档字符串"
-
-### 示例 2：多语言支持
-
-```json
-{
-  "broadcast": {
-    "strategy": "sequential",
-    "+15555550123": ["detect-language", "translator-en", "translator-de"]
-  },
-  "agents": {
-    "list": [
-      { "id": "detect-language", "workspace": "~/agents/lang-detect" },
-      { "id": "translator-en", "workspace": "~/agents/translate-en" },
-      { "id": "translator-de", "workspace": "~/agents/translate-de" }
-    ]
-  }
-}
-```
-
-## API 参考
-
-### 配置模式
-
-```typescript
-interface OpenClawConfig {
-  broadcast?: {
-    strategy?: "parallel" | "sequential";
-    [peerId: string]: string[];
-  };
-}
-```
-
-### 字段
-
-- `strategy`（可选）：如何处理智能体
-  - `"parallel"`（默认）：所有智能体同时处理
-  - `"sequential"`：智能体按数组顺序处理
-- `[peerId]`：WhatsApp 群组 JID、E.164 号码或其他 peer ID
-  - 值：应处理消息的智能体 ID 数组
-
-## 限制
-
-1. **最大智能体数：** 无硬性限制，但 10 个以上智能体可能会较慢
-2. **共享上下文：** 智能体看不到彼此的响应（设计如此）
-3. **消息顺序：** 并行响应可能以任意顺序到达
-4. **速率限制：** 所有智能体都计入 WhatsApp 速率限制
-
-## 未来增强
-
-计划中的功能：
-
-- [ ] 共享上下文模式（智能体可以看到彼此的响应）
-- [ ] 智能体协调（智能体可以相互发信号）
-- [ ] 动态智能体选择（根据消息内容选择智能体）
-- [ ] 智能体优先级（某些智能体先于其他智能体响应）

+- **群组上下文缓冲区**（用于上下文的最近群组消息）按 peer 共享，因此所有广播智能体在被触发时看到相同的上下文
+
+这允许每个智能体拥有：
+
+- 不同的个性
+- 不同的工具访问权限（例如只读 vs 读写）
+- 不同的模型（例如 opus vs sonnet）
+- 不同的已安装 Skills
+
+### 示例：隔离的会话
+
+在群组 `120363403215116621@g.us` 中，智能体为 `["alfred", "baerbel"]`：
+
+**Alfred 的上下文：**
+
+```
+Session: agent:alfred:whatsapp:group:120363403215116621@g.us
+History: [user message, alfred's previous responses]
+Workspace: /Users/pascal/openclaw-alfred/
+Tools: read, write, exec
+```
+
+**Bärbel 的上下文：**
+
+```
+Session: agent:baerbel:whatsapp:group:120363403215116621@g.us
+History: [user message, baerbel's previous responses]
+Workspace: /Users/pascal/openclaw-baerbel/
+Tools: read only
+```
+
+## 最佳实践
+
+### 1. 保持智能体专注
+
+将每个智能体设计为具有单一、明确的职责：
+
+```json
+{
+  "broadcast": {
+    "DEV_GROUP": ["formatter", "linter", "tester"]
+  }
+}
+```
+
+✅ **好的做法：** 每个智能体只有一个任务  
+❌ **不好的做法：** 一个通用的"dev-helper"智能体
+
+### 2. 使用描述性名称
+
+明确每个智能体的功能：
+
+```json
+{
+  "agents": {
+    "security-scanner": { "name": "Security Scanner" },
+    "code-formatter": { "name": "Code Formatter" },
+    "test-generator": { "name": "Test Generator" }
+  }
+}
+```
+
+### 3. 配置不同的工具访问权限
+
+只给智能体提供它们需要的工具：
+
+```json
+{
+  "agents": {
+    "reviewer": {
+      "tools": { "allow": ["read", "exec"] } // Read-only
+    },
+    "fixer": {
+      "tools": { "allow": ["read", "write", "edit", "exec"] } // Read-write
+    }
+  }
+}
+```
+
+### 4. 监控性能
+
+当有多个智能体时，请考虑：
+
+- 使用 `"strategy": "parallel"`（默认）以提高速度
+- 将广播群组限制在 5-10 个智能体
+- 为较简单的智能体使用较快的模型
+
+### 5. 优雅地处理失败
+
+智能体独立失败。一个智能体的错误不会阻塞其他智能体：
+
+```
+Message → [Agent A ✓, Agent B ✗ error, Agent C ✓]
+Result: Agent A and C respond, Agent B logs error
+```
+
+## 兼容性
+
+### 提供商
+
+广播群组目前支持：
+
+- ✅ WhatsApp（已实现）
+- 🚧 Telegram（计划中）
+- 🚧 Discord（计划中）
+- 🚧 Slack（计划中）
+
+### 路由
+
+广播群组与现有路由一起工作：
+
+```json
+{
+  "bindings": [
+    {
+      "match": { "channel": "whatsapp", "peer": { "kind": "group", "id": "GROUP_A" } },
+      "agentId": "alfred"
+    }
+  ],
+  "broadcast": {
+    "GROUP_B": ["agent1", "agent2"]
+  }
+}
+```
+
+- `GROUP_A`：只有 alfred 响应（正常路由）
+- `GROUP_B`：agent1 和 agent2 都响应（广播）
+
+**优先级：** `broadcast` 优先于 `bindings`。
+
+## 故障排除
+
+### 智能体不响应
+
+**检查：**
+
+1. 智能体 ID 存在于 `agents.list` 中
+2. Peer ID 格式正确（例如 `120363403215116621@g.us`）
+3. 智能体不在拒绝列表中
+
+**调试：**
+
+```bash
+tail -f ~/.openclaw/logs/gateway.log | grep broadcast
+```
+
+### 只有一个智能体响应
+
+**原因：** Peer ID 可能在 `bindings` 中但不在 `broadcast` 中。
+
+**修复：** 添加到广播配置或从绑定中移除。
+
+### 性能问题
+
+**如果智能体较多时速度较慢：**
+
+- 减少每个群组的智能体数量
+- 使用较轻的模型（sonnet 而非 opus）
+- 检查沙箱启动时间
+
+## 示例
+
+### 示例 1：代码审查团队
+
+```json
+{
+  "broadcast": {
+    "strategy": "parallel",
+    "120363403215116621@g.us": [
+      "code-formatter",

+    ]
+  }
+}
+```
+
+**用户发送：** 代码片段  
+**响应：**
+
+- code-formatter："修复了缩进并添加了类型提示"
+- security-scanner："⚠️ 第 12 行存在 SQL 注入漏洞"
+- test-coverage："覆盖率为 45%，缺少错误情况的测试"
+- docs-checker："函数 `process_data` 缺少文档字符串"
+
+### 示例 2：多语言支持
+
+```json
+{
+  "broadcast": {
+    "strategy": "sequential",
+    "+15555550123": ["detect-language", "translator-en", "translator-de"]
+  },

+      { "id": "translator-de", "workspace": "~/agents/translate-de" }
+    ]
+  }
+}
+```
+
+## API 参考
+
+### 配置模式
+
+```typescript
+interface OpenClawConfig {
+  broadcast?: {
+    strategy?: "parallel" | "sequential";
+    [peerId: string]: string[];
+  };
+}
+```
+
+### 字段
+
+- `strategy`（可选）：如何处理智能体
+  - `"parallel"`（默认）：所有智能体同时处理
+  - `"sequential"`：智能体按数组顺序处理
+- `[peerId]`：WhatsApp 群组 JID、E.164 号码或其他 peer ID
+  - 值：应处理消息的智能体 ID 数组
+
+## 限制
+
+1. **最大智能体数：** 无硬性限制，但 10 个以上智能体可能会较慢
+2. **共享上下文：** 智能体看不到彼此的响应（设计如此）
+3. **消息顺序：** 并行响应可能以任意顺序到达
+4. **速率限制：** 所有智能体都计入 WhatsApp 速率限制
+
+## 未来增强
+
+计划中的功能：
+
+- [ ] 共享上下文模式（智能体可以看到彼此的响应）
+- [ ] 智能体协调（智能体可以相互发信号）
+- [ ] 动态智能体选择（根据消息内容选择智能体）
+- [ ] 智能体优先级（某些智能体先于其他智能体响应）

+# 渠道与路由
+
+OpenClaw 将回复**路由回消息来源的渠道**。模型不会选择渠道；路由是确定性的，由主机配置控制。
+
+## 关键术语
+
+- **渠道**：`whatsapp`、`telegram`、`discord`、`slack`、`signal`、`imessage`、`webchat`。
+- **AccountId**：每个渠道的账户实例（在支持的情况下）。
+- **AgentId**：隔离的工作区 + 会话存储（"大脑"）。
+- **SessionKey**：用于存储上下文和控制并发的桶键。
+
+## 会话键格式（示例）
+
+私信会折叠到智能体的**主**会话：
+
+- `agent:<agentId>:<mainKey>`（默认：`agent:main:main`）
+
+群组和渠道按渠道隔离：
+
+- 群组：`agent:<agentId>:<channel>:group:<id>`
+- 渠道/房间：`agent:<agentId>:<channel>:channel:<id>`
+
+线程：
+
+- Slack/Discord 线程会在基础键后追加 `:thread:<threadId>`。
+- Telegram 论坛主题在群组键中嵌入 `:topic:<topicId>`。
+
+示例：
+
+- `agent:main:telegram:group:-1001234567890:topic:42`
+- `agent:main:discord:channel:123456:thread:987654`
+
+## 路由规则（如何选择智能体）
+
+路由为每条入站消息选择**一个智能体**：
+
+1. **精确对端匹配**（`bindings` 中的 `peer.kind` + `peer.id`）。
+2. **Guild 匹配**（Discord）通过 `guildId`。
+3. **Team 匹配**（Slack）通过 `teamId`。
+4. **账户匹配**（渠道上的 `accountId`）。
+5. **渠道匹配**（该渠道上的任意账户）。
+6. **默认智能体**（`agents.list[].default`，否则取列表第一项，兜底为 `main`）。
+
+匹配到的智能体决定使用哪个工作区和会话存储。
+
+## 广播组（运行多个智能体）
+
+广播组允许你为同一对端运行**多个智能体**，**在 OpenClaw 正常回复时**触发（例如：在 WhatsApp 群组中，经过提及/激活门控之后）。
+
+配置：
+
+```json5
+{
+  broadcast: {
+    strategy: "parallel",
+    "120363403215116621@g.us": ["alfred", "baerbel"],
+    "+15555550123": ["support", "logger"],
+  },
+}
+```
+
+参见：[广播组](/channels/broadcast-groups)。
+
+## 配置概览
+
+- `agents.list`：命名的智能体定义（工作区、模型等）。
+- `bindings`：将入站渠道/账户/对端映射到智能体。
+
+示例：
+
+```json5
+{
+  agents: {
+    list: [{ id: "support", name: "Support", workspace: "~/.openclaw/workspace-support" }],
+  },
+  bindings: [
+    { match: { channel: "slack", teamId: "T123" }, agentId: "support" },
+    { match: { channel: "telegram", peer: { kind: "group", id: "-100123" } }, agentId: "support" },
+  ],
+}
+```
+
+## 会话存储
+
+会话存储位于状态目录下（默认 `~/.openclaw`）：
+
+- `~/.openclaw/agents/<agentId>/sessions/sessions.json`
+- JSONL 记录文件与存储位于同一目录
+
+你可以通过 `session.store` 和 `{agentId}` 模板来覆盖存储路径。
+
+## WebChat 行为
+
+WebChat 连接到**所选智能体**，并默认使用该智能体的主会话。因此，WebChat 让你可以在一个地方查看该智能体的跨渠道上下文。
+
+## 回复上下文
+
+入站回复包含：
+
+- `ReplyToId`、`ReplyToBody` 和 `ReplyToSender`（在可用时）。
+- 引用的上下文会以 `[Replying to ...]` 块的形式追加到 `Body` 中。
+
+这在所有渠道中保持一致。

 ### 流式输出
 
-飞书目前不支持消息编辑，因此默认禁用流式输出（`blockStreaming: true`）。机器人会等待完整回复后一次性发送。
+飞书支持通过交互式卡片实现流式输出，机器人会实时更新卡片内容显示生成进度。默认配置：
+
+```json5
+{
+  channels: {
+    feishu: {
+      streaming: true, // 启用流式卡片输出（默认 true）
+      blockStreaming: true, // 启用块级流式（默认 true）
+    },
+  },
+}
+```
+
+如需禁用流式输出（等待完整回复后一次性发送），可设置 `streaming: false`。
+
+### 消息引用
+
+在群聊中，机器人的回复可以引用用户发送的原始消息，让对话上下文更加清晰。
+
+配置选项：
+
+```json5
+{
+  channels: {
+    feishu: {
+      // 账户级别配置（默认 "all"）
+      replyToMode: "all",

+
+| 值        | 行为                               |
+| --------- | ---------------------------------- |
+| `"off"`   | 不引用原消息（私聊默认值）         |
+| `"first"` | 仅在第一条回复时引用原消息         |
+| `"all"`   | 所有回复都引用原消息（群聊默认值） |
+
+> 注意：消息引用功能与流式卡片输出（`streaming: true`）不能同时使用。当启用流式输出时，回复会以卡片形式呈现，不会显示引用。
+
+### 多 Agent 路由
+
+通过 `bindings` 配置，您可以用一个飞书机器人对接多个不同功能或性格的 Agent。系统会根据用户 ID 或群组 ID 自动将对话分发到对应的 Agent。
+
+配置示例：
+
+```json5

+# 群组
+
+OpenClaw 在各平台上统一处理群聊：WhatsApp、Telegram、Discord、Slack、Signal、iMessage、Microsoft Teams。
+
+## 新手入门（2 分钟）
+
+OpenClaw"运行"在你自己的消息账户上。没有单独的 WhatsApp 机器人用户。如果**你**在一个群组中，OpenClaw 就可以看到该群组并在其中回复。
+
+默认行为：
+
+- 群组受限（`groupPolicy: "allowlist"`）。
+- 除非你明确禁用提及限制，否则回复需要 @ 提及。
+
+解释：允许列表中的发送者可以通过提及来触发 OpenClaw。
+
+> 简而言之
+>
+> - **私信访问**由 `*.allowFrom` 控制。
+> - **群组访问**由 `*.groupPolicy` + 允许列表（`*.groups`、`*.groupAllowFrom`）控制。
+> - **回复触发**由提及限制（`requireMention`、`/activation`）控制。
+
+快速流程（群消息会发生什么）：
+
+```
+groupPolicy? disabled -> 丢弃
+groupPolicy? allowlist -> 群组允许? 否 -> 丢弃
+requireMention? 是 -> 被提及? 否 -> 仅存储为上下文
+否则 -> 回复
+```
+
+![群消息流程](/images/groups-flow.svg)
+
+如果你想...
+| 目标 | 设置什么 |
+|------|-------------|
+| 允许所有群组但仅在 @ 提及时回复 | `groups: { "*": { requireMention: true } }` |
+| 禁用所有群组回复 | `groupPolicy: "disabled"` |
+| 仅特定群组 | `groups: { "<group-id>": { ... } }`（无 `"*"` 键） |
+| 仅你可以在群组中触发 | `groupPolicy: "allowlist"`、`groupAllowFrom: ["+1555..."]` |
+
+## 会话键
+
+- 群组会话使用 `agent:<agentId>:<channel>:group:<id>` 会话键（房间/频道使用 `agent:<agentId>:<channel>:channel:<id>`）。
+- Telegram 论坛话题在群组 ID 后添加 `:topic:<threadId>`，因此每个话题都有自己的会话。
+- 私聊使用主会话（或按发送者配置时使用各自的会话）。
+- 群组会话跳过心跳。
+
+## 模式：个人私信 + 公开群组（单智能体）
+
+是的——如果你的"个人"流量是**私信**而"公开"流量是**群组**，这种方式效果很好。
+
+原因：在单智能体模式下，私信通常落在**主**会话键（`agent:main:main`）中，而群组始终使用**非主**会话键（`agent:main:<channel>:group:<id>`）。如果你启用 `mode: "non-main"` 的沙箱隔离，这些群组会话在 Docker 中运行，而你的主私信会话保持在主机上。
+
+这给你一个智能体"大脑"（共享工作区 + 记忆），但两种执行姿态：
+
+- **私信**：完整工具（主机）
+- **群组**：沙箱 + 受限工具（Docker）
+
+> 如果你需要真正独立的工作区/角色（"个人"和"公开"绝不能混合），请使用第二个智能体 + 绑定。参见[多智能体路由](/concepts/multi-agent)。
+
+示例（私信在主机上，群组沙箱隔离 + 仅消息工具）：
+
+```json5
+{
+  agents: {
+    defaults: {
+      sandbox: {
+        mode: "non-main", // 群组/频道是非主 -> 沙箱隔离
+        scope: "session", // 最强隔离（每个群组/频道一个容器）
+        workspaceAccess: "none",
+      },
+    },
+  },
+  tools: {
+    sandbox: {
+      tools: {
+        // 如果 allow 非空，其他所有工具都被阻止（deny 仍然优先）。
+        allow: ["group:messaging", "group:sessions"],
+        deny: ["group:runtime", "group:fs", "group:ui", "nodes", "cron", "gateway"],
+      },
+    },
+  },
+}
+```
+
+想要"群组只能看到文件夹 X"而不是"无主机访问"？保持 `workspaceAccess: "none"` 并仅将允许的路径挂载到沙箱中：
+
+```json5
+{
+  agents: {
+    defaults: {
+      sandbox: {
+        mode: "non-main",
+        scope: "session",
+        workspaceAccess: "none",
+        docker: {
+          binds: [
+            // hostPath:containerPath:mode
+            "~/FriendsShared:/data:ro",
+          ],
+        },
+      },
+    },
+  },
+}
+```

+- 绑定挂载详情：[沙箱隔离](/gateway/sandboxing#custom-bind-mounts)
+
+## 显示标签
+
+- UI 标签在可用时使用 `displayName`，格式为 `<channel>:<token>`。
+- `#room` 保留用于房间/频道；群聊使用 `g-<slug>`（小写，空格 -> `-`，保留 `#@+._-`）。
+
+## 群组策略
+
+控制每个渠道如何处理群组/房间消息：
+
+```json5
+{
+  channels: {
+    whatsapp: {
+      groupPolicy: "disabled", // "open" | "disabled" | "allowlist"
+      groupAllowFrom: ["+15551234567"],
+    },
+    telegram: {
+      groupPolicy: "disabled",
+      groupAllowFrom: ["123456789", "@username"],
+    },
+    signal: {
+      groupPolicy: "disabled",
+      groupAllowFrom: ["+15551234567"],
+    },
+    imessage: {
+      groupPolicy: "disabled",
+      groupAllowFrom: ["chat_id:123"],
+    },
+    msteams: {
+      groupPolicy: "disabled",
+      groupAllowFrom: ["user@org.com"],
+    },
+    discord: {
+      groupPolicy: "allowlist",
+      guilds: {
+        GUILD_ID: { channels: { help: { allow: true } } },
+      },
+    },
+    slack: {
+      groupPolicy: "allowlist",
+      channels: { "#general": { allow: true } },
+    },
+    matrix: {
+      groupPolicy: "allowlist",
+      groupAllowFrom: ["@owner:example.org"],
+      groups: {
+        "!roomId:example.org": { allow: true },
+        "#alias:example.org": { allow: true },
+      },
+    },
+  },
+}
+```
+
+| 策略          | 行为                                    |
+| ------------- | --------------------------------------- |
+| `"open"`      | 群组绕过允许列表；提及限制仍然适用。    |
+| `"disabled"`  | 完全阻止所有群组消息。                  |
+| `"allowlist"` | 仅允许与配置的允许列表匹配的群组/房间。 |
+
+注意事项：
+
+- `groupPolicy` 与提及限制（需要 @ 提及）是分开的。
+- WhatsApp/Telegram/Signal/iMessage/Microsoft Teams：使用 `groupAllowFrom`（回退：显式 `allowFrom`）。
+- Discord：允许列表使用 `channels.discord.guilds.<id>.channels`。
+- Slack：允许列表使用 `channels.slack.channels`。
+- Matrix：允许列表使用 `channels.matrix.groups`（房间 ID、别名或名称）。使用 `channels.matrix.groupAllowFrom` 限制发送者；也支持每个房间的 `users` 允许列表。
+- 群组私信单独控制（`channels.discord.dm.*`、`channels.slack.dm.*`）。
+- Telegram 允许列表可以匹配用户 ID（`"123456789"`、`"telegram:123456789"`、`"tg:123456789"`）或用户名（`"@alice"` 或 `"alice"`）；前缀不区分大小写。
+- 默认为 `groupPolicy: "allowlist"`；如果你的群组允许列表为空，群组消息将被阻止。
+
+快速心智模型（群组消息的评估顺序）：
+
+1. `groupPolicy`（open/disabled/allowlist）
+2. 群组允许列表（`*.groups`、`*.groupAllowFrom`、渠道特定允许列表）
+3. 提及限制（`requireMention`、`/activation`）
+
+## 提及限制（默认）
+
+群组消息需要提及，除非按群组覆盖。默认值位于 `*.groups."*"` 下的每个子系统中。
+
+回复机器人消息被视为隐式提及（当渠道支持回复元数据时）。这适用于 Telegram、WhatsApp、Slack、Discord 和 Microsoft Teams。
+
+```json5
+{
+  channels: {
+    whatsapp: {
+      groups: {
+        "*": { requireMention: true },
+        "123@g.us": { requireMention: false },
+      },
+    },
+    telegram: {
+      groups: {
+        "*": { requireMention: true },
+        "123456789": { requireMention: false },
+      },
+    },
+    imessage: {
+      groups: {
+        "*": { requireMention: true },
+        "123": { requireMention: false },
+      },
+    },
+  },
+  agents: {
+    list: [
+      {
+        id: "main",
+        groupChat: {
+          mentionPatterns: ["@openclaw", "openclaw", "\\+15555550123"],
+          historyLimit: 50,
+        },
+      },
+    ],
+  },
+}
+```
+
+注意事项：
+
+- `mentionPatterns` 是不区分大小写的正则表达式。
+- 提供显式提及的平台仍然通过；模式是回退。
+- 每个智能体覆盖：`agents.list[].groupChat.mentionPatterns`（当多个智能体共享一个群组时有用）。
+- 提及限制仅在提及检测可行时强制执行（原生提及或 `mentionPatterns` 已配置）。
+- Discord 默认值位于 `channels.discord.guilds."*"`（可按服务器/频道覆盖）。
+- 群组历史上下文在渠道间统一包装，并且是**仅待处理**（由于提及限制而跳过的消息）；使用 `messages.groupChat.historyLimit` 作为全局默认值，使用 `channels.<channel>.historyLimit`（或 `channels.<channel>.accounts.*.historyLimit`）进行覆盖。设置 `0` 以禁用。
+
+## 群组/频道工具限制（可选）
+
+某些渠道配置支持限制**特定群组/房间/频道内**可用的工具。
+
+- `tools`：为整个群组允许/拒绝工具。
+- `toolsBySender`：群组内的按发送者覆盖（键是发送者 ID/用户名/邮箱/电话号码，取决于渠道）。使用 `"*"` 作为通配符。
+
+解析顺序（最具体的优先）：
+
+1. 群组/频道 `toolsBySender` 匹配
+2. 群组/频道 `tools`
+3. 默认（`"*"`）`toolsBySender` 匹配
+4. 默认（`"*"`）`tools`
+
+示例（Telegram）：
+
+```json5
+{
+  channels: {
+    telegram: {
+      groups: {
+        "*": { tools: { deny: ["exec"] } },
+        "-1001234567890": {
+          tools: { deny: ["exec", "read", "write"] },
+          toolsBySender: {
+            "123456789": { alsoAllow: ["exec"] },
+          },
+        },
+      },
+    },
+  },
+}
+```
+
+注意事项：
+
+- 群组/频道工具限制在全局/智能体工具策略之外额外应用（deny 仍然优先）。
+- 某些渠道对房间/频道使用不同的嵌套结构（例如，Discord `guilds.*.channels.*`、Slack `channels.*`、MS Teams `teams.*.channels.*`）。
+
+## 群组允许列表
+
+当配置了 `channels.whatsapp.groups`、`channels.telegram.groups` 或 `channels.imessage.groups` 时，键作为群组允许列表。使用 `"*"` 允许所有群组，同时仍设置默认提及行为。
+
+常见意图（复制/粘贴）：
+
+1. 禁用所有群组回复
+
+```json5
+{
+  channels: { whatsapp: { groupPolicy: "disabled" } },
+}
+```
+
+2. 仅允许特定群组（WhatsApp）
+
+```json5
+{
+  channels: {
+    whatsapp: {
+      groups: {
+        "123@g.us": { requireMention: true },
+        "456@g.us": { requireMention: false },
+      },
+    },
+  },
+}
+```
+
+3. 允许所有群组但需要提及（显式）
+
+```json5
+{
+  channels: {
+    whatsapp: {
+      groups: { "*": { requireMention: true } },
+    },
+  },
+}
+```
+
+4. 仅所有者可以在群组中触发（WhatsApp）
+
+```json5
+{
+  channels: {
+    whatsapp: {
+      groupPolicy: "allowlist",
+      groupAllowFrom: ["+15551234567"],
+      groups: { "*": { requireMention: true } },
+    },
+  },
+}
+```
+
+## 激活（仅所有者）
+
+群组所有者可以切换每个群组的激活状态：
+
+- `/activation mention`
+- `/activation always`
+
+所有者由 `channels.whatsapp.allowFrom` 确定（未设置时为机器人自身的 E.164）。将命令作为独立消息发送。其他平台目前忽略 `/activation`。
+
+## 上下文字段
+
+群组入站负载设置：
+
+- `ChatType=group`
+- `GroupSubject`（如果已知）
+- `GroupMembers`（如果已知）
+- `WasMentioned`（提及限制结果）
+- Telegram 论坛话题还包括 `MessageThreadId` 和 `IsForum`。
+
+智能体系统提示在新群组会话的第一轮包含群组介绍。它提醒模型像人类一样回复，避免 Markdown 表格，避免输入字面量 `\n` 序列。
+
+## iMessage 特定内容
+
+- 路由或允许列表时优先使用 `chat_id:<id>`。
+- 列出聊天：`imsg chats --limit 20`。
+- 群组回复始终返回到相同的 `chat_id`。
+
+## WhatsApp 特定内容
+

+# 配对
+
+"配对"是 OpenClaw 的显式**所有者批准**步骤。它用于两个地方：
+
+1. **私信配对**（谁被允许与机器人对话）
+2. **节点配对**（哪些设备/节点被允许加入 Gateway 网关网络）
+
+安全上下文：[安全](/gateway/security)
+
+## 1）私信配对（入站聊天访问）
+
+当渠道配置为私信策略 `pairing` 时，未知发送者会收到一个短代码，他们的消息**不会被处理**，直到你批准。
+
+默认私信策略记录在：[安全](/gateway/security)
+
+配对代码：
+
+- 8 个字符，大写，无歧义字符（`0O1I`）。
+- **1 小时后过期**。机器人仅在创建新请求时发送配对消息（大约每个发送者每小时一次）。
+- 待处理的私信配对请求默认上限为**每个渠道 3 个**；在一个过期或被批准之前，额外的请求将被忽略。
+
+### 批准发送者
+
+```bash
+openclaw pairing list telegram
+openclaw pairing approve telegram <CODE>
+```
+
+支持的渠道：`telegram`、`whatsapp`、`signal`、`imessage`、`discord`、`slack`。
+
+### 状态存储位置
+
+存储在 `~/.openclaw/credentials/` 下：
+
+- 待处理请求：`<channel>-pairing.json`
+- 已批准允许列表存储：`<channel>-allowFrom.json`
+
+将这些视为敏感信息（它们控制对你助手的访问）。
+
+## 2）节点设备配对（iOS/Android/macOS/无头节点）
+
+节点作为 `role: node` 的**设备**连接到 Gateway 网关。Gateway 网关创建一个必须被批准的设备配对请求。
+
+### 批准节点设备
+
+```bash
+openclaw devices list
+openclaw devices approve <requestId>
+openclaw devices reject <requestId>
+```
+
+### 状态存储位置
+
+存储在 `~/.openclaw/devices/` 下：
+
+- `pending.json`（短期；待处理请求会过期）
+- `paired.json`（已配对设备 + 令牌）
+
+### 说明
+
+- 旧版 `node.pair.*` API（CLI：`openclaw nodes pending/approve`）是一个单独的 Gateway 网关拥有的配对存储。WS 节点仍然需要设备配对。

-# 渠道与路由
-
-OpenClaw 将回复**路由回消息来源的渠道**。模型不会选择渠道；路由是确定性的，由主机配置控制。
-
-## 关键术语
-
-- **渠道**：`whatsapp`、`telegram`、`discord`、`slack`、`signal`、`imessage`、`webchat`。
-- **AccountId**：每个渠道的账户实例（在支持的情况下）。
-- **AgentId**：隔离的工作区 + 会话存储（"大脑"）。
-- **SessionKey**：用于存储上下文和控制并发的桶键。
-
-## 会话键格式（示例）
-
-私信会折叠到智能体的**主**会话：
-
-- `agent:<agentId>:<mainKey>`（默认：`agent:main:main`）
-
-群组和渠道按渠道隔离：
-
-- 群组：`agent:<agentId>:<channel>:group:<id>`
-- 渠道/房间：`agent:<agentId>:<channel>:channel:<id>`
-
-线程：
-
-- Slack/Discord 线程会在基础键后追加 `:thread:<threadId>`。
-- Telegram 论坛主题在群组键中嵌入 `:topic:<topicId>`。
-
-示例：
-
-- `agent:main:telegram:group:-1001234567890:topic:42`
-- `agent:main:discord:channel:123456:thread:987654`
-
-## 路由规则（如何选择智能体）
-
-路由为每条入站消息选择**一个智能体**：
-
-1. **精确对端匹配**（`bindings` 中的 `peer.kind` + `peer.id`）。
-2. **Guild 匹配**（Discord）通过 `guildId`。
-3. **Team 匹配**（Slack）通过 `teamId`。
-4. **账户匹配**（渠道上的 `accountId`）。
-5. **渠道匹配**（该渠道上的任意账户）。
-6. **默认智能体**（`agents.list[].default`，否则取列表第一项，兜底为 `main`）。
-
-匹配到的智能体决定使用哪个工作区和会话存储。
-
-## 广播组（运行多个智能体）
-
-广播组允许你为同一对端运行**多个智能体**，**在 OpenClaw 正常回复时**触发（例如：在 WhatsApp 群组中，经过提及/激活门控之后）。
-
-配置：
-
-```json5
-{
-  broadcast: {
-    strategy: "parallel",
-    "120363403215116621@g.us": ["alfred", "baerbel"],
-    "+15555550123": ["support", "logger"],
-  },
-}
-```
-
-参见：[广播组](/broadcast-groups)。
-
-## 配置概览
-
-- `agents.list`：命名的智能体定义（工作区、模型等）。
-- `bindings`：将入站渠道/账户/对端映射到智能体。
-
-示例：
-
-```json5
-{
-  agents: {
-    list: [{ id: "support", name: "Support", workspace: "~/.openclaw/workspace-support" }],
-  },
-  bindings: [
-    { match: { channel: "slack", teamId: "T123" }, agentId: "support" },
-    { match: { channel: "telegram", peer: { kind: "group", id: "-100123" } }, agentId: "support" },
-  ],
-}
-```
-
-## 会话存储
-
-会话存储位于状态目录下（默认 `~/.openclaw`）：
-
-- `~/.openclaw/agents/<agentId>/sessions/sessions.json`
-- JSONL 记录文件与存储位于同一目录
-
-你可以通过 `session.store` 和 `{agentId}` 模板来覆盖存储路径。
-
-## WebChat 行为
-
-WebChat 连接到**所选智能体**，并默认使用该智能体的主会话。因此，WebChat 让你可以在一个地方查看该智能体的跨渠道上下文。
-
-## 回复上下文
-
-入站回复包含：
-
-- `ReplyToId`、`ReplyToBody` 和 `ReplyToSender`（在可用时）。
-- 引用的上下文会以 `[Replying to ...]` 块的形式追加到 `Body` 中。
-
-这在所有渠道中保持一致。

-# 群组
-
-OpenClaw 在各平台上统一处理群聊：WhatsApp、Telegram、Discord、Slack、Signal、iMessage、Microsoft Teams。
-
-## 新手入门（2 分钟）
-
-OpenClaw"运行"在你自己的消息账户上。没有单独的 WhatsApp 机器人用户。如果**你**在一个群组中，OpenClaw 就可以看到该群组并在其中回复。
-
-默认行为：
-
-- 群组受限（`groupPolicy: "allowlist"`）。
-- 除非你明确禁用提及限制，否则回复需要 @ 提及。
-
-解释：允许列表中的发送者可以通过提及来触发 OpenClaw。
-
-> 简而言之
->
-> - **私信访问**由 `*.allowFrom` 控制。
-> - **群组访问**由 `*.groupPolicy` + 允许列表（`*.groups`、`*.groupAllowFrom`）控制。
-> - **回复触发**由提及限制（`requireMention`、`/activation`）控制。
-
-快速流程（群消息会发生什么）：
-
-```
-groupPolicy? disabled -> 丢弃
-groupPolicy? allowlist -> 群组允许? 否 -> 丢弃
-requireMention? 是 -> 被提及? 否 -> 仅存储为上下文
-否则 -> 回复
-```
-
-![群消息流程](/images/groups-flow.svg)
-
-如果你想...
-| 目标 | 设置什么 |
-|------|-------------|
-| 允许所有群组但仅在 @ 提及时回复 | `groups: { "*": { requireMention: true } }` |
-| 禁用所有群组回复 | `groupPolicy: "disabled"` |
-| 仅特定群组 | `groups: { "<group-id>": { ... } }`（无 `"*"` 键） |
-| 仅你可以在群组中触发 | `groupPolicy: "allowlist"`、`groupAllowFrom: ["+1555..."]` |
-
-## 会话键
-
-- 群组会话使用 `agent:<agentId>:<channel>:group:<id>` 会话键（房间/频道使用 `agent:<agentId>:<channel>:channel:<id>`）。
-- Telegram 论坛话题在群组 ID 后添加 `:topic:<threadId>`，因此每个话题都有自己的会话。
-- 私聊使用主会话（或按发送者配置时使用各自的会话）。
-- 群组会话跳过心跳。
-
-## 模式：个人私信 + 公开群组（单智能体）
-
-是的——如果你的"个人"流量是**私信**而"公开"流量是**群组**，这种方式效果很好。
-
-原因：在单智能体模式下，私信通常落在**主**会话键（`agent:main:main`）中，而群组始终使用**非主**会话键（`agent:main:<channel>:group:<id>`）。如果你启用 `mode: "non-main"` 的沙箱隔离，这些群组会话在 Docker 中运行，而你的主私信会话保持在主机上。
-
-这给你一个智能体"大脑"（共享工作区 + 记忆），但两种执行姿态：
-
-- **私信**：完整工具（主机）
-- **群组**：沙箱 + 受限工具（Docker）
-
-> 如果你需要真正独立的工作区/角色（"个人"和"公开"绝不能混合），请使用第二个智能体 + 绑定。参见[多智能体路由](/concepts/multi-agent)。
-
-示例（私信在主机上，群组沙箱隔离 + 仅消息工具）：
-
-```json5
-{
-  agents: {
-    defaults: {
-      sandbox: {
-        mode: "non-main", // 群组/频道是非主 -> 沙箱隔离
-        scope: "session", // 最强隔离（每个群组/频道一个容器）
-        workspaceAccess: "none",
-      },
-    },
-  },
-  tools: {
-    sandbox: {
-      tools: {
-        // 如果 allow 非空，其他所有工具都被阻止（deny 仍然优先）。
-        allow: ["group:messaging", "group:sessions"],
-        deny: ["group:runtime", "group:fs", "group:ui", "nodes", "cron", "gateway"],
-      },
-    },
-  },
-}
-```
-
-想要"群组只能看到文件夹 X"而不是"无主机访问"？保持 `workspaceAccess: "none"` 并仅将允许的路径挂载到沙箱中：
-
-```json5
-{
-  agents: {
-    defaults: {
-      sandbox: {
-        mode: "non-main",
-        scope: "session",
-        workspaceAccess: "none",
-        docker: {
-          binds: [
-            // hostPath:containerPath:mode
-            "~/FriendsShared:/data:ro",
-          ],
-        },
-      },
-    },
-  },
-}
-```

-- 调试为什么工具被阻止：[沙箱 vs 工具策略 vs 提权](/gateway/sandbox-vs-tool-policy-vs-elevated)
-- 绑定挂载详情：[沙箱隔离](/gateway/sandboxing#custom-bind-mounts)
-
-## 显示标签
-
-- UI 标签在可用时使用 `displayName`，格式为 `<channel>:<token>`。
-- `#room` 保留用于房间/频道；群聊使用 `g-<slug>`（小写，空格 -> `-`，保留 `#@+._-`）。
-
-## 群组策略
-
-控制每个渠道如何处理群组/房间消息：
-
-```json5
-{
-  channels: {
-    whatsapp: {
-      groupPolicy: "disabled", // "open" | "disabled" | "allowlist"
-      groupAllowFrom: ["+15551234567"],
-    },
-    telegram: {
-      groupPolicy: "disabled",
-      groupAllowFrom: ["123456789", "@username"],
-    },
-    signal: {
-      groupPolicy: "disabled",
-      groupAllowFrom: ["+15551234567"],
-    },
-    imessage: {
-      groupPolicy: "disabled",
-      groupAllowFrom: ["chat_id:123"],
-    },
-    msteams: {
-      groupPolicy: "disabled",
-      groupAllowFrom: ["user@org.com"],
-    },
-    discord: {
-      groupPolicy: "allowlist",
-      guilds: {
-        GUILD_ID: { channels: { help: { allow: true } } },
-      },
-    },
-    slack: {
-      groupPolicy: "allowlist",
-      channels: { "#general": { allow: true } },
-    },
-    matrix: {
-      groupPolicy: "allowlist",
-      groupAllowFrom: ["@owner:example.org"],
-      groups: {
-        "!roomId:example.org": { allow: true },
-        "#alias:example.org": { allow: true },
-      },
-    },
-  },
-}
-```
-
-| 策略          | 行为                                    |
-| ------------- | --------------------------------------- |
-| `"open"`      | 群组绕过允许列表；提及限制仍然适用。    |
-| `"disabled"`  | 完全阻止所有群组消息。                  |
-| `"allowlist"` | 仅允许与配置的允许列表匹配的群组/房间。 |
-
-注意事项：
-
-- `groupPolicy` 与提及限制（需要 @ 提及）是分开的。
-- WhatsApp/Telegram/Signal/iMessage/Microsoft Teams：使用 `groupAllowFrom`（回退：显式 `allowFrom`）。
-- Discord：允许列表使用 `channels.discord.guilds.<id>.channels`。
-- Slack：允许列表使用 `channels.slack.channels`。
-- Matrix：允许列表使用 `channels.matrix.groups`（房间 ID、别名或名称）。使用 `channels.matrix.groupAllowFrom` 限制发送者；也支持每个房间的 `users` 允许列表。
-- 群组私信单独控制（`channels.discord.dm.*`、`channels.slack.dm.*`）。
-- Telegram 允许列表可以匹配用户 ID（`"123456789"`、`"telegram:123456789"`、`"tg:123456789"`）或用户名（`"@alice"` 或 `"alice"`）；前缀不区分大小写。
-- 默认为 `groupPolicy: "allowlist"`；如果你的群组允许列表为空，群组消息将被阻止。
-
-快速心智模型（群组消息的评估顺序）：
-
-1. `groupPolicy`（open/disabled/allowlist）
-2. 群组允许列表（`*.groups`、`*.groupAllowFrom`、渠道特定允许列表）
-3. 提及限制（`requireMention`、`/activation`）
-
-## 提及限制（默认）
-
-群组消息需要提及，除非按群组覆盖。默认值位于 `*.groups."*"` 下的每个子系统中。
-
-回复机器人消息被视为隐式提及（当渠道支持回复元数据时）。这适用于 Telegram、WhatsApp、Slack、Discord 和 Microsoft Teams。

-          historyLimit: 50,
-        },
-      },
-    ],
-  },
-}
-```
-
-注意事项：
-
-- `mentionPatterns` 是不区分大小写的正则表达式。
-- 提供显式提及的平台仍然通过；模式是回退。
-- 每个智能体覆盖：`agents.list[].groupChat.mentionPatterns`（当多个智能体共享一个群组时有用）。
-- 提及限制仅在提及检测可行时强制执行（原生提及或 `mentionPatterns` 已配置）。
-- Discord 默认值位于 `channels.discord.guilds."*"`（可按服务器/频道覆盖）。
-- 群组历史上下文在渠道间统一包装，并且是**仅待处理**（由于提及限制而跳过的消息）；使用 `messages.groupChat.historyLimit` 作为全局默认值，使用 `channels.<channel>.historyLimit`（或 `channels.<channel>.accounts.*.historyLimit`）进行覆盖。设置 `0` 以禁用。
-
-## 群组/频道工具限制（可选）
-
-某些渠道配置支持限制**特定群组/房间/频道内**可用的工具。
-
-- `tools`：为整个群组允许/拒绝工具。
-- `toolsBySender`：群组内的按发送者覆盖（键是发送者 ID/用户名/邮箱/电话号码，取决于渠道）。使用 `"*"` 作为通配符。
-
-解析顺序（最具体的优先）：
-
-1. 群组/频道 `toolsBySender` 匹配
-2. 群组/频道 `tools`
-3. 默认（`"*"`）`toolsBySender` 匹配
-4. 默认（`"*"`）`tools`
-
-示例（Telegram）：
-
-```json5
-{
-  channels: {
-    telegram: {
-      groups: {
-        "*": { tools: { deny: ["exec"] } },
-        "-1001234567890": {
-          tools: { deny: ["exec", "read", "write"] },
-          toolsBySender: {
-            "123456789": { alsoAllow: ["exec"] },
-          },
-        },
-      },
-    },
-  },
-}
-```
-
-注意事项：
-
-- 群组/频道工具限制在全局/智能体工具策略之外额外应用（deny 仍然优先）。
-- 某些渠道对房间/频道使用不同的嵌套结构（例如，Discord `guilds.*.channels.*`、Slack `channels.*`、MS Teams `teams.*.channels.*`）。
-
-## 群组允许列表
-
-当配置了 `channels.whatsapp.groups`、`channels.telegram.groups` 或 `channels.imessage.groups` 时，键作为群组允许列表。使用 `"*"` 允许所有群组，同时仍设置默认提及行为。
-
-常见意图（复制/粘贴）：
-
-1. 禁用所有群组回复
-
-```json5
-{
-  channels: { whatsapp: { groupPolicy: "disabled" } },
-}
-```
-
-2. 仅允许特定群组（WhatsApp）
-
-```json5
-{
-  channels: {
-    whatsapp: {
-      groups: {
-        "123@g.us": { requireMention: true },
-        "456@g.us": { requireMention: false },
-      },
-    },
-  },
-}
-```
-
-3. 允许所有群组但需要提及（显式）
-
-```json5
-{
-  channels: {
-    whatsapp: {
-      groups: { "*": { requireMention: true } },
-    },
-  },
-}
-```
-
-4. 仅所有者可以在群组中触发（WhatsApp）
-
-```json5
-{
-  channels: {
-    whatsapp: {
-      groupPolicy: "allowlist",
-      groupAllowFrom: ["+15551234567"],
-      groups: { "*": { requireMention: true } },
-    },
-  },
-}
-```
-
-## 激活（仅所有者）
-
-群组所有者可以切换每个群组的激活状态：
-
-- `/activation mention`
-- `/activation always`
-
-所有者由 `channels.whatsapp.allowFrom` 确定（未设置时为机器人自身的 E.164）。将命令作为独立消息发送。其他平台目前忽略 `/activation`。
-
-## 上下文字段
-
-群组入站负载设置：
-
-- `ChatType=group`
-- `GroupSubject`（如果已知）
-- `GroupMembers`（如果已知）
-- `WasMentioned`（提及限制结果）
-- Telegram 论坛话题还包括 `MessageThreadId` 和 `IsForum`。
-
-智能体系统提示在新群组会话的第一轮包含群组介绍。它提醒模型像人类一样回复，避免 Markdown 表格，避免输入字面量 `\n` 序列。
-
-## iMessage 特定内容
-
-- 路由或允许列表时优先使用 `chat_id:<id>`。
-- 列出聊天：`imsg chats --limit 20`。
-- 群组回复始终返回到相同的 `chat_id`。
-

-# 环境变量
-
-OpenClaw 从多个来源拉取环境变量。规则是**永不覆盖现有值**。
-
-## 优先级（从高到低）
-
-1. **进程环境**（Gateway 网关进程从父 shell/守护进程已有的内容）。
-2. **当前工作目录中的 `.env`**（dotenv 默认；不覆盖）。
-3. **全局 `.env`** 位于 `~/.openclaw/.env`（即 `$OPENCLAW_STATE_DIR/.env`；不覆盖）。
-4. **配置 `env` 块** 位于 `~/.openclaw/openclaw.json`（仅在缺失时应用）。
-5. **可选的登录 shell 导入**（`env.shellEnv.enabled` 或 `OPENCLAW_LOAD_SHELL_ENV=1`），仅对缺失的预期键名应用。
-
-如果配置文件完全缺失，步骤 4 将被跳过；如果启用了 shell 导入，它仍会运行。
-
-## 配置 `env` 块
-
-两种等效方式设置内联环境变量（都是非覆盖的）：
-
-```json5
-{
-  env: {
-    OPENROUTER_API_KEY: "sk-or-...",
-    vars: {
-      GROQ_API_KEY: "gsk-...",
-    },
-  },
-}
-```
-
-## Shell 环境导入
-
-`env.shellEnv` 运行你的登录 shell 并仅导入**缺失的**预期键名：
-
-```json5
-{
-  env: {
-    shellEnv: {
-      enabled: true,
-      timeoutMs: 15000,
-    },
-  },
-}
-```
-
-环境变量等效项：
-
-- `OPENCLAW_LOAD_SHELL_ENV=1`
-- `OPENCLAW_SHELL_ENV_TIMEOUT_MS=15000`
-
-## 配置中的环境变量替换
-
-你可以使用 `${VAR_NAME}` 语法在配置字符串值中直接引用环境变量：
-
-```json5
-{
-  models: {
-    providers: {
-      "vercel-gateway": {
-        apiKey: "${VERCEL_GATEWAY_API_KEY}",
-      },
-    },
-  },
-}
-```

-# 形式化验证（安全模型）
-
-本页跟踪 OpenClaw 的**形式化安全模型**（目前是 TLA+/TLC；根据需要会增加更多）。
-
-> 注意：一些较旧的链接可能引用以前的项目名称。
-
-**目标（北极星）：** 在明确的假设下，提供机器检查的论证，证明 OpenClaw 执行其预期的安全策略（授权、会话隔离、工具限制和错误配置安全）。
-
-**目前是什么：** 一个可执行的、攻击者驱动的**安全回归套件**：
-
-- 每个声明都有一个在有限状态空间上运行的模型检查。
-- 许多声明有一个配对的**负面模型**，为现实的错误类别生成反例轨迹。
-
-**目前还不是什么：** 证明"OpenClaw 在所有方面都是安全的"或完整的 TypeScript 实现是正确的。
-
-## 模型存放位置
-
-模型维护在单独的仓库中：[vignesh07/openclaw-formal-models](https://github.com/vignesh07/openclaw-formal-models)。
-
-## 重要注意事项
-
-- 这些是**模型**，不是完整的 TypeScript 实现。模型和代码之间可能存在偏差。
-- 结果受 TLC 探索的状态空间限制；"绿色"并不意味着超出建模假设和边界的安全性。
-- 一些声明依赖于明确的环境假设（例如，正确的部署、正确的配置输入）。
-
-## 重现结果
-
-目前，通过在本地克隆模型仓库并运行 TLC 来重现结果（见下文）。未来的迭代可能提供：
-
-- 带有公开产物（反例轨迹、运行日志）的 CI 运行模型
-- 用于小型有界检查的托管"运行此模型"工作流
-
-入门：
-
-```bash
-git clone https://github.com/vignesh07/openclaw-formal-models
-cd openclaw-formal-models
-
-# 需要 Java 11+（TLC 在 JVM 上运行）。
-# 仓库附带一个固定版本的 `tla2tools.jar`（TLA+ 工具）并提供 `bin/tlc` + Make 目标。
-
-make <target>
-```
-
-### Gateway 网关暴露和开放 Gateway 网关错误配置
-
-**声明：** 在没有认证的情况下绑定到 loopback 之外可能导致远程攻击 / 增加暴露；令牌/密码阻止未授权攻击者（根据模型假设）。
-
-- 绿色运行：
-  - `make gateway-exposure-v2`
-  - `make gateway-exposure-v2-protected`
-- 红色（预期）：
-  - `make gateway-exposure-v2-negative`
-
-另请参阅：模型仓库中的 `docs/gateway-exposure-matrix.md`。
-
-### Nodes.run 管道（最高风险能力）
-
-**声明：** `nodes.run` 需要 (a) 节点命令允许列表加上声明的命令，以及 (b) 配置时的实时批准；批准是令牌化的以防止重放（在模型中）。
-
-- 绿色运行：
-  - `make nodes-pipeline`
-  - `make approvals-token`
-- 红色（预期）：
-  - `make nodes-pipeline-negative`
-  - `make approvals-token-negative`
-
-### 配对存储（私信限制）
-
-**声明：** 配对请求遵守 TTL 和待处理请求上限。
-
-- 绿色运行：
-  - `make pairing`
-  - `make pairing-cap`
-- 红色（预期）：
-  - `make pairing-negative`
-  - `make pairing-cap-negative`
-
-### 入站限制（提及 + 控制命令绕过）
-
-**声明：** 在需要提及的群组上下文中，未授权的"控制命令"无法绕过提及限制。
-
-- 绿色：
-  - `make ingress-gating`
-- 红色（预期）：
-  - `make ingress-gating-negative`
-
-### 路由/会话键隔离
-
-**声明：** 来自不同对等方的私信不会合并到同一会话中，除非明确链接/配置。
-
-- 绿色：
-  - `make routing-isolation`
-- 红色（预期）：
-  - `make routing-isolation-negative`
-
-## v1++：额外的有界模型（并发、重试、轨迹正确性）
-
-这些是后续模型，围绕真实世界的故障模式（非原子更新、重试和消息扇出）提高保真度。
-
-### 配对存储并发/幂等性
-
-**声明：** 即使在交错执行下，配对存储也应强制执行 `MaxPending` 和幂等性（即"检查后写入"必须是原子/锁定的；刷新不应创建重复项）。
-
-这意味着：
-
-- 在并发请求下，你不能超过渠道的 `MaxPending`。
-- 对同一 `(channel, sender)` 的重复请求/刷新不应创建重复的活动待处理行。
-
-- 绿色运行：
-  - `make pairing-race`（原子/锁定上限检查）
-  - `make pairing-idempotency`
-  - `make pairing-refresh`
-  - `make pairing-refresh-race`
-- 红色（预期）：
-  - `make pairing-race-negative`（非原子 begin/commit 上限竞争）
-  - `make pairing-idempotency-negative`
-  - `make pairing-refresh-negative`
-  - `make pairing-refresh-race-negative`
-
-### 入站轨迹关联/幂等性
-
-**声明：** 摄取应在扇出时保留轨迹关联，并在提供商重试下保持幂等。
-
-这意味着：
-
-- 当一个外部事件变成多个内部消息时，每个部分保持相同的轨迹/事件标识。
-- 重试不会导致重复处理。
-- 如果缺少提供商事件 ID，去重会回退到安全键（例如轨迹 ID）以避免丢弃不同的事件。
-
-- 绿色：
-  - `make ingress-trace`
-  - `make ingress-trace2`
-  - `make ingress-idempotency`
-  - `make ingress-dedupe-fallback`
-- 红色（预期）：
-  - `make ingress-trace-negative`
-  - `make ingress-trace2-negative`
-  - `make ingress-idempotency-negative`
-  - `make ingress-dedupe-fallback-negative`
-
-### 路由 dmScope 优先级 + identityLinks
-
-**声明：** 路由必须默认保持私信会话隔离，仅在明确配置时合并会话（渠道优先级 + 身份链接）。
-
-这意味着：
-
-- 渠道特定的 dmScope 覆盖必须优先于全局默认值。
-- identityLinks 应仅在明确链接的组内合并，而不是跨不相关的对等方。
-
-- 绿色：
-  - `make routing-precedence`
-  - `make routing-identitylinks`
-- 红色（预期）：
-  - `make routing-precedence-negative`
-  - `make routing-identitylinks-negative`

+# 环境变量
+
+OpenClaw 从多个来源拉取环境变量。规则是**永不覆盖现有值**。
+
+## 优先级（从高到低）
+
+1. **进程环境**（Gateway 网关进程从父 shell/守护进程已有的内容）。
+2. **当前工作目录中的 `.env`**（dotenv 默认；不覆盖）。
+3. **全局 `.env`** 位于 `~/.openclaw/.env`（即 `$OPENCLAW_STATE_DIR/.env`；不覆盖）。
+4. **配置 `env` 块** 位于 `~/.openclaw/openclaw.json`（仅在缺失时应用）。
+5. **可选的登录 shell 导入**（`env.shellEnv.enabled` 或 `OPENCLAW_LOAD_SHELL_ENV=1`），仅对缺失的预期键名应用。
+
+如果配置文件完全缺失，步骤 4 将被跳过；如果启用了 shell 导入，它仍会运行。
+
+## 配置 `env` 块
+
+两种等效方式设置内联环境变量（都是非覆盖的）：
+
+```json5
+{
+  env: {
+    OPENROUTER_API_KEY: "sk-or-...",
+    vars: {
+      GROQ_API_KEY: "gsk-...",
+    },
+  },
+}
+```
+
+## Shell 环境导入
+
+`env.shellEnv` 运行你的登录 shell 并仅导入**缺失的**预期键名：
+
+```json5
+{
+  env: {
+    shellEnv: {
+      enabled: true,
+      timeoutMs: 15000,
+    },
+  },
+}
+```
+
+环境变量等效项：
+
+- `OPENCLAW_LOAD_SHELL_ENV=1`
+- `OPENCLAW_SHELL_ENV_TIMEOUT_MS=15000`
+
+## 配置中的环境变量替换
+
+你可以使用 `${VAR_NAME}` 语法在配置字符串值中直接引用环境变量：
+
+```json5
+{
+  models: {
+    providers: {
+      "vercel-gateway": {
+        apiKey: "${VERCEL_GATEWAY_API_KEY}",
+      },
+    },
+  },
+}
+```

+# 测试
+
+OpenClaw 包含三个 Vitest 测试套件（单元/集成、端到端、实时）以及一小组 Docker 运行器。
+
+本文档是一份"我们如何测试"的指南：
+
+- 每个套件覆盖什么（以及它刻意*不*覆盖什么）
+- 常见工作流程应运行哪些命令（本地、推送前、调试）
+- 实时测试如何发现凭证并选择模型/提供商
+- 如何为现实中的模型/提供商问题添加回归测试
+
+## 快速开始
+
+日常使用：
+
+- 完整检查（推送前的预期流程）：`pnpm build && pnpm check && pnpm test`
+
+当你修改测试或需要额外的信心时：
+
+- 覆盖率检查：`pnpm test:coverage`
+- 端到端套件：`pnpm test:e2e`
+
+调试真实提供商/模型时（需要真实凭证）：
+
+- 实时套件（模型 + Gateway 网关工具/图像探测）：`pnpm test:live`
+
+提示：当你只需要一个失败用例时，建议使用下文描述的允许列表环境变量来缩小实时测试范围。
+
+## 测试套件（在哪里运行什么）
+
+可以将这些套件理解为"逐渐增强的真实性"（以及逐渐增加的不稳定性/成本）：
+
+### 单元/集成测试（默认）
+
+- 命令：`pnpm test`
+- 配置：`vitest.config.ts`
+- 文件：`src/**/*.test.ts`
+- 范围：
+  - 纯单元测试
+  - 进程内集成测试（Gateway 网关认证、路由、工具、解析、配置）
+  - 已知问题的确定性回归测试
+- 预期：
+  - 在 CI 中运行
+  - 不需要真实密钥
+  - 应该快速且稳定
+
+### 端到端测试（Gateway 网关冒烟测试）
+
+- 命令：`pnpm test:e2e`
+- 配置：`vitest.e2e.config.ts`
+- 文件：`src/**/*.e2e.test.ts`
+- 范围：
+  - 多实例 Gateway 网关端到端行为
+  - WebSocket/HTTP 接口、节点配对和较重的网络操作
+- 预期：
+  - 在 CI 中运行（当在流水线中启用时）
+  - 不需要真实密钥
+  - 比单元测试有更多活动部件（可能较慢）
+
+### 实时测试（真实提供商 + 真实模型）
+
+- 命令：`pnpm test:live`
+- 配置：`vitest.live.config.ts`
+- 文件：`src/**/*.live.test.ts`
+- 默认：通过 `pnpm test:live` **启用**（设置 `OPENCLAW_LIVE_TEST=1`）
+- 范围：
+  - "这个提供商/模型用真实凭证*今天*实际能工作吗？"
+  - 捕获提供商格式变更、工具调用怪癖、认证问题和速率限制行为
+- 预期：
+  - 设计上不适合 CI 稳定运行（真实网络、真实提供商策略、配额、故障）
+  - 花费金钱/使用速率限制
+  - 建议运行缩小范围的子集而非"全部"
+  - 实时运行会加载 `~/.profile` 以获取缺失的 API 密钥
+  - Anthropic 密钥轮换：设置 `OPENCLAW_LIVE_ANTHROPIC_KEYS="sk-...,sk-..."`（或 `OPENCLAW_LIVE_ANTHROPIC_KEY=sk-...`）或多个 `ANTHROPIC_API_KEY*` 变量；测试会在遇到速率限制时重试
+
+## 我应该运行哪个套件？
+
+使用这个决策表：
+
+- 编辑逻辑/测试：运行 `pnpm test`（如果改动较大，加上 `pnpm test:coverage`）
+- 涉及 Gateway 网关网络/WS 协议/配对：加上 `pnpm test:e2e`
+- 调试"我的机器人挂了"/提供商特定故障/工具调用：运行缩小范围的 `pnpm test:live`
+
+## 实时测试：模型冒烟测试（配置文件密钥）
+
+实时测试分为两层，以便隔离故障：
+
+- "直接模型"告诉我们提供商/模型是否能用给定的密钥正常响应。
+- "Gateway 网关冒烟测试"告诉我们完整的 Gateway 网关 + 智能体管道是否对该模型正常工作（会话、历史记录、工具、沙箱策略等）。
+
+### 第一层：直接模型补全（无 Gateway 网关）
+
+- 测试：`src/agents/models.profiles.live.test.ts`
+- 目标：
+  - 枚举发现的模型
+  - 使用 `getApiKeyForModel` 选择你有凭证的模型
+  - 每个模型运行一个小型补全（以及需要时的针对性回归测试）
+- 如何启用：
+  - `pnpm test:live`（或直接调用 Vitest 时使用 `OPENCLAW_LIVE_TEST=1`）
+- 设置 `OPENCLAW_LIVE_MODELS=modern`（或 `all`，modern 的别名）以实际运行此套件；否则会跳过以保持 `pnpm test:live` 专注于 Gateway 网关冒烟测试
+- 如何选择模型：
+  - `OPENCLAW_LIVE_MODELS=modern` 运行现代允许列表（Opus/Sonnet/Haiku 4.5、GPT-5.x + Codex、Gemini 3、GLM 4.7、MiniMax M2.1、Grok 4）
+  - `OPENCLAW_LIVE_MODELS=all` 是现代允许列表的别名
+  - 或 `OPENCLAW_LIVE_MODELS="openai/gpt-5.2,anthropic/claude-opus-4-5,..."`（逗号分隔的允许列表）
+- 如何选择提供商：
+  - `OPENCLAW_LIVE_PROVIDERS="google,google-antigravity,google-gemini-cli"`（逗号分隔的允许列表）
+- 密钥来源：
+  - 默认：配置文件存储和环境变量回退
+  - 设置 `OPENCLAW_LIVE_REQUIRE_PROFILE_KEYS=1` 以强制**仅使用配置文件存储**
+- 为什么存在这个测试：
+  - 将"提供商 API 损坏/密钥无效"与"Gateway 网关智能体管道损坏"分离
+  - 包含小型、隔离的回归测试（例如：OpenAI Responses/Codex Responses 推理重放 + 工具调用流程）
+
+### 第二层：Gateway 网关 + 开发智能体冒烟测试（"@openclaw"实际做的事）
+
+- 测试：`src/gateway/gateway-models.profiles.live.test.ts`
+- 目标：
+  - 启动一个进程内 Gateway 网关
+  - 创建/修补一个 `agent:dev:*` 会话（每次运行覆盖模型）
+  - 遍历有密钥的模型并断言：
+    - "有意义的"响应（无工具）
+    - 真实的工具调用工作正常（读取探测）
+    - 可选的额外工具探测（执行+读取探测）
+    - OpenAI 回归路径（仅工具调用 → 后续）保持工作
+- 探测详情（以便你能快速解释故障）：
+  - `read` 探测：测试在工作区写入一个随机数文件，要求智能体 `read` 它并回显随机数。
+  - `exec+read` 探测：测试要求智能体 `exec` 将随机数写入临时文件，然后 `read` 回来。
+  - 图像探测：测试附加一个生成的 PNG（猫 + 随机代码），期望模型返回 `cat <CODE>`。
+  - 实现参考：`src/gateway/gateway-models.profiles.live.test.ts` 和 `src/gateway/live-image-probe.ts`。
+- 如何启用：
+  - `pnpm test:live`（或直接调用 Vitest 时使用 `OPENCLAW_LIVE_TEST=1`）
+- 如何选择模型：
+  - 默认：现代允许列表（Opus/Sonnet/Haiku 4.5、GPT-5.x + Codex、Gemini 3、GLM 4.7、MiniMax M2.1、Grok 4）
+  - `OPENCLAW_LIVE_GATEWAY_MODELS=all` 是现代允许列表的别名
+  - 或设置 `OPENCLAW_LIVE_GATEWAY_MODELS="provider/model"`（或逗号分隔列表）来缩小范围
+- 如何选择提供商（避免"OpenRouter 全部"）：
+  - `OPENCLAW_LIVE_GATEWAY_PROVIDERS="google,google-antigravity,google-gemini-cli,openai,anthropic,zai,minimax"`（逗号分隔的允许列表）
+- 工具 + 图像探测在此实时测试中始终开启：
+  - `read` 探测 + `exec+read` 探测（工具压力测试）
+  - 当模型声明支持图像输入时运行图像探测
+  - 流程（高层次）：
+    - 测试生成一个带有"CAT"+ 随机代码的小型 PNG（`src/gateway/live-image-probe.ts`）
+    - 通过 `agent` `attachments: [{ mimeType: "image/png", content: "<base64>" }]` 发送
+    - Gateway 网关将附件解析为 `images[]`（`src/gateway/server-methods/agent.ts` + `src/gateway/chat-attachments.ts`）
+    - 嵌入式智能体将多模态用户消息转发给模型
+    - 断言：回复包含 `cat` + 代码（OCR 容差：允许轻微错误）
+
+提示：要查看你的机器上可以测试什么（以及确切的 `provider/model` ID），运行：
+
+```bash
+openclaw models list
+openclaw models list --json
+```
+
+## 实时测试：Anthropic 设置令牌冒烟测试
+
+- 测试：`src/agents/anthropic.setup-token.live.test.ts`
+- 目标：验证 Claude Code CLI 设置令牌（或粘贴的设置令牌配置文件）能完成 Anthropic 提示。
+- 启用：
+  - `pnpm test:live`（或直接调用 Vitest 时使用 `OPENCLAW_LIVE_TEST=1`）
+  - `OPENCLAW_LIVE_SETUP_TOKEN=1`
+- 令牌来源（选择一个）：
+  - 配置文件：`OPENCLAW_LIVE_SETUP_TOKEN_PROFILE=anthropic:setup-token-test`
+  - 原始令牌：`OPENCLAW_LIVE_SETUP_TOKEN_VALUE=sk-ant-oat01-...`
+- 模型覆盖（可选）：
+  - `OPENCLAW_LIVE_SETUP_TOKEN_MODEL=anthropic/claude-opus-4-5`
+
+设置示例：
+
+```bash
+openclaw models auth paste-token --provider anthropic --profile-id anthropic:setup-token-test
+OPENCLAW_LIVE_SETUP_TOKEN=1 OPENCLAW_LIVE_SETUP_TOKEN_PROFILE=anthropic:setup-token-test pnpm test:live src/agents/anthropic.setup-token.live.test.ts
+```
+
+## 实时测试：CLI 后端冒烟测试（Claude Code CLI 或其他本地 CLI）
+
+- 测试：`src/gateway/gateway-cli-backend.live.test.ts`
+- 目标：使用本地 CLI 后端验证 Gateway 网关 + 智能体管道，而不影响你的默认配置。
+- 启用：
+  - `pnpm test:live`（或直接调用 Vitest 时使用 `OPENCLAW_LIVE_TEST=1`）
+  - `OPENCLAW_LIVE_CLI_BACKEND=1`
+- 默认值：
+  - 模型：`claude-cli/claude-sonnet-4-5`
+  - 命令：`claude`
+  - 参数：`["-p","--output-format","json","--dangerously-skip-permissions"]`
+- 覆盖（可选）：
+  - `OPENCLAW_LIVE_CLI_BACKEND_MODEL="claude-cli/claude-opus-4-5"`
+  - `OPENCLAW_LIVE_CLI_BACKEND_MODEL="codex-cli/gpt-5.2-codex"`
+  - `OPENCLAW_LIVE_CLI_BACKEND_COMMAND="/full/path/to/claude"`
+  - `OPENCLAW_LIVE_CLI_BACKEND_ARGS='["-p","--output-format","json","--permission-mode","bypassPermissions"]'`
+  - `OPENCLAW_LIVE_CLI_BACKEND_CLEAR_ENV='["ANTHROPIC_API_KEY","ANTHROPIC_API_KEY_OLD"]'`
+  - `OPENCLAW_LIVE_CLI_BACKEND_IMAGE_PROBE=1` 发送真实图像附件（路径注入到提示中）。
+  - `OPENCLAW_LIVE_CLI_BACKEND_IMAGE_ARG="--image"` 将图像文件路径作为 CLI 参数传递而非提示注入。
+  - `OPENCLAW_LIVE_CLI_BACKEND_IMAGE_MODE="repeat"`（或 `"list"`）控制设置 `IMAGE_ARG` 时如何传递图像参数。
+  - `OPENCLAW_LIVE_CLI_BACKEND_RESUME_PROBE=1` 发送第二轮并验证恢复流程。
+- `OPENCLAW_LIVE_CLI_BACKEND_DISABLE_MCP_CONFIG=0` 保持 Claude Code CLI MCP 配置启用（默认使用临时空文件禁用 MCP 配置）。
+
+示例：
+
+```bash
+OPENCLAW_LIVE_CLI_BACKEND=1 \
+  OPENCLAW_LIVE_CLI_BACKEND_MODEL="claude-cli/claude-sonnet-4-5" \
+  pnpm test:live src/gateway/gateway-cli-backend.live.test.ts
+```
+
+### 推荐的实时测试配方
+
+缩小范围的显式允许列表最快且最不易出错：
+
+- 单个模型，直接测试（无 Gateway 网关）：
+  - `OPENCLAW_LIVE_MODELS="openai/gpt-5.2" pnpm test:live src/agents/models.profiles.live.test.ts`
+
+- 单个模型，Gateway 网关冒烟测试：
+  - `OPENCLAW_LIVE_GATEWAY_MODELS="openai/gpt-5.2" pnpm test:live src/gateway/gateway-models.profiles.live.test.ts`
+
+- 跨多个提供商的工具调用：
+  - `OPENCLAW_LIVE_GATEWAY_MODELS="openai/gpt-5.2,anthropic/claude-opus-4-5,google/gemini-3-flash-preview,zai/glm-4.7,minimax/minimax-m2.1" pnpm test:live src/gateway/gateway-models.profiles.live.test.ts`
+
+- Google 专项（Gemini API 密钥 + Antigravity）：
+  - Gemini（API 密钥）：`OPENCLAW_LIVE_GATEWAY_MODELS="google/gemini-3-flash-preview" pnpm test:live src/gateway/gateway-models.profiles.live.test.ts`
+  - Antigravity（OAuth）：`OPENCLAW_LIVE_GATEWAY_MODELS="google-antigravity/claude-opus-4-6-thinking,google-antigravity/gemini-3-pro-high" pnpm test:live src/gateway/gateway-models.profiles.live.test.ts`
+
+注意：
+
+- `google/...` 使用 Gemini API（API 密钥）。
+- `google-antigravity/...` 使用 Antigravity OAuth 桥接（Cloud Code Assist 风格的智能体端点）。
+- `google-gemini-cli/...` 使用你机器上的本地 Gemini CLI（独立的认证 + 工具怪癖）。
+- Gemini API 与 Gemini CLI：
+  - API：OpenClaw 通过 HTTP 调用 Google 托管的 Gemini API（API 密钥/配置文件认证）；这是大多数用户说的"Gemini"。
+  - CLI：OpenClaw 调用本地 `gemini` 二进制文件；它有自己的认证，行为可能不同（流式传输/工具支持/版本差异）。
+
+## 实时测试：模型矩阵（我们覆盖什么）
+
+没有固定的"CI 模型列表"（实时测试是可选的），但这些是建议在有密钥的开发机器上定期覆盖的**推荐**模型。
+
+### 现代冒烟测试集（工具调用 + 图像）
+
+这是我们期望保持工作的"常用模型"运行：
+
+- OpenAI（非 Codex）：`openai/gpt-5.2`（可选：`openai/gpt-5.1`）
+- OpenAI Codex：`openai-codex/gpt-5.2`（可选：`openai-codex/gpt-5.2-codex`）
+- Anthropic：`anthropic/claude-opus-4-5`（或 `anthropic/claude-sonnet-4-5`）
+- Google（Gemini API）：`google/gemini-3-pro-preview` 和 `google/gemini-3-flash-preview`（避免较旧的 Gemini 2.x 模型）
+- Google（Antigravity）：`google-antigravity/claude-opus-4-6-thinking` 和 `google-antigravity/gemini-3-flash`
+- Z.AI（GLM）：`zai/glm-4.7`
+- MiniMax：`minimax/minimax-m2.1`
+
+运行带工具 + 图像的 Gateway 网关冒烟测试：
+`OPENCLAW_LIVE_GATEWAY_MODELS="openai/gpt-5.2,openai-codex/gpt-5.2,anthropic/claude-opus-4-5,google/gemini-3-pro-preview,google/gemini-3-flash-preview,google-antigravity/claude-opus-4-6-thinking,google-antigravity/gemini-3-flash,zai/glm-4.7,minimax/minimax-m2.1" pnpm test:live src/gateway/gateway-models.profiles.live.test.ts`
+
+### 基线：工具调用（Read + 可选 Exec）
+
+每个提供商系列至少选择一个：
+
+- OpenAI：`openai/gpt-5.2`（或 `openai/gpt-5-mini`）
+- Anthropic：`anthropic/claude-opus-4-5`（或 `anthropic/claude-sonnet-4-5`）
+- Google：`google/gemini-3-flash-preview`（或 `google/gemini-3-pro-preview`）
+- Z.AI（GLM）：`zai/glm-4.7`
+- MiniMax：`minimax/minimax-m2.1`
+
+可选的额外覆盖（锦上添花）：
+
+- xAI：`xai/grok-4`（或最新可用版本）
+- Mistral：`mistral/`…（选择一个你已启用的"工具"能力模型）
+- Cerebras：`cerebras/`…（如果你有访问权限）
+- LM Studio：`lmstudio/`…（本地；工具调用取决于 API 模式）
+
+### 视觉：图像发送（附件 → 多模态消息）
+
+在 `OPENCLAW_LIVE_GATEWAY_MODELS` 中至少包含一个支持图像的模型（Claude/Gemini/OpenAI 视觉能力变体等）以测试图像探测。
+
+### 聚合器/替代 Gateway 网关
+
+如果你启用了密钥，我们也支持通过以下方式测试：
+
+- OpenRouter：`openrouter/...`（数百个模型；使用 `openclaw models scan` 查找支持工具+图像的候选模型）
+- OpenCode Zen：`opencode/...`（通过 `OPENCODE_API_KEY` / `OPENCODE_ZEN_API_KEY` 认证）
+
+如果你有凭证/配置，可以在实时矩阵中包含更多提供商：
+
+- 内置：`openai`、`openai-codex`、`anthropic`、`google`、`google-vertex`、`google-antigravity`、`google-gemini-cli`、`zai`、`openrouter`、`opencode`、`xai`、`groq`、`cerebras`、`mistral`、`github-copilot`
+- 通过 `models.providers`（自定义端点）：`minimax`（云/API），以及任何 OpenAI/Anthropic 兼容代理（LM Studio、vLLM、LiteLLM 等）
+
+提示：不要试图在文档中硬编码"所有模型"。权威列表是你机器上 `discoverModels(...)` 返回的内容 + 可用的密钥。
+
+## 凭证（绝不提交）
+
+实时测试以与 CLI 相同的方式发现凭证。实际含义：
+
+- 如果 CLI 能工作，实时测试应该能找到相同的密钥。
+- 如果实时测试说"无凭证"，用调试 `openclaw models list`/模型选择相同的方式调试。
+
+- 配置文件存储：`~/.openclaw/credentials/`（首选；测试中"配置文件密钥"的含义）
+- 配置：`~/.openclaw/openclaw.json`（或 `OPENCLAW_CONFIG_PATH`）
+
+如果你想依赖环境变量密钥（例如在 `~/.profile` 中导出的），在 `source ~/.profile` 后运行本地测试，或使用下面的 Docker 运行器（它们可以将 `~/.profile` 挂载到容器中）。
+
+## Deepgram 实时测试（音频转录）
+
+- 测试：`src/media-understanding/providers/deepgram/audio.live.test.ts`
+- 启用：`DEEPGRAM_API_KEY=... DEEPGRAM_LIVE_TEST=1 pnpm test:live src/media-understanding/providers/deepgram/audio.live.test.ts`
+
+## Docker 运行器（可选的"在 Linux 中工作"检查）
+
+这些在仓库 Docker 镜像内运行 `pnpm test:live`，挂载你的本地配置目录和工作区（如果挂载了 `~/.profile` 则会加载它）：
+
+- 直接模型：`pnpm test:docker:live-models`（脚本：`scripts/test-live-models-docker.sh`）
+- Gateway 网关 + 开发智能体：`pnpm test:docker:live-gateway`（脚本：`scripts/test-live-gateway-models-docker.sh`）
+- 新手引导向导（TTY，完整脚手架）：`pnpm test:docker:onboard`（脚本：`scripts/e2e/onboard-docker.sh`）
+- Gateway 网关网络（两个容器，WS 认证 + 健康检查）：`pnpm test:docker:gateway-network`（脚本：`scripts/e2e/gateway-network-docker.sh`）
+- 插件（自定义扩展加载 + 注册表冒烟测试）：`pnpm test:docker:plugins`（脚本：`scripts/e2e/plugins-docker.sh`）
+
+有用的环境变量：
+
+- `OPENCLAW_CONFIG_DIR=...`（默认：`~/.openclaw`）挂载到 `/home/node/.openclaw`
+- `OPENCLAW_WORKSPACE_DIR=...`（默认：`~/.openclaw/workspace`）挂载到 `/home/node/.openclaw/workspace`
+- `OPENCLAW_PROFILE_FILE=...`（默认：`~/.profile`）挂载到 `/home/node/.profile` 并在运行测试前加载
+- `OPENCLAW_LIVE_GATEWAY_MODELS=...` / `OPENCLAW_LIVE_MODELS=...` 用于缩小运行范围
+- `OPENCLAW_LIVE_REQUIRE_PROFILE_KEYS=1` 确保凭证来自配置文件存储（而非环境变量）
+
+## 文档完整性检查
+
+文档编辑后运行文档检查：`pnpm docs:list`。
+
+## 离线回归测试（CI 安全）
+
+这些是没有真实提供商的"真实管道"回归测试：
+
+- Gateway 网关工具调用（模拟 OpenAI，真实 Gateway 网关 + 智能体循环）：`src/gateway/gateway.tool-calling.mock-openai.test.ts`
+- Gateway 网关向导（WS `wizard.start`/`wizard.next`，写入配置 + 强制认证）：`src/gateway/gateway.wizard.e2e.test.ts`
+
+## 智能体可靠性评估（Skills）
+
+我们已经有一些 CI 安全的测试，它们的行为类似于"智能体可靠性评估"：
+
+- 通过真实 Gateway 网关 + 智能体循环的模拟工具调用（`src/gateway/gateway.tool-calling.mock-openai.test.ts`）。
+- 验证会话连接和配置效果的端到端向导流程（`src/gateway/gateway.wizard.e2e.test.ts`）。
+
+对于 Skills 仍然缺少的内容（参见 [Skills](/tools/skills)）：
+
+- **决策：** 当 Skills 在提示中列出时，智能体是否选择正确的 skill（或避免不相关的）？
+- **合规性：** 智能体是否在使用前读取 `SKILL.md` 并遵循所需的步骤/参数？
+- **工作流契约：** 断言工具顺序、会话历史延续和沙箱边界的多轮场景。
+
+未来的评估应该首先保持确定性：
+
+- 使用模拟提供商来断言工具调用 + 顺序、skill 文件读取和会话连接的场景运行器。
+- 一小套专注于 skill 的场景（使用 vs 避免、门控、提示注入）。
+- 可选的实时评估（可选的，环境变量门控），仅在 CI 安全套件就位后。
+
+## 添加回归测试（指导）
+
+当你修复在实时测试中发现的提供商/模型问题时：
+
+- 如果可能，添加 CI 安全的回归测试（模拟/存根提供商，或捕获确切的请求形状转换）
+- 如果它本质上是仅限实时的（速率限制、认证策略），保持实时测试范围小且通过环境变量可选
+- 优先针对能捕获问题的最小层：
+  - 提供商请求转换/重放问题 → 直接模型测试
+  - Gateway 网关会话/历史/工具管道问题 → Gateway 网关实时冒烟测试或 CI 安全的 Gateway 网关模拟测试

-# Hooks
-
-Hooks 提供了一个可扩展的事件驱动系统，用于响应智能体命令和事件自动执行操作。Hooks 从目录中自动发现，可以通过 CLI 命令管理，类似于 OpenClaw 中 Skills 的工作方式。
-
-## 入门指南
-
-Hooks 是在事件发生时运行的小脚本。有两种类型：
-
-- **Hooks**（本页）：当智能体事件触发时在 Gateway 网关内运行，如 `/new`、`/reset`、`/stop` 或生命周期事件。
-- **Webhooks**：外部 HTTP webhooks，让其他系统触发 OpenClaw 中的工作。参见 [Webhook Hooks](/automation/webhook) 或使用 `openclaw webhooks` 获取 Gmail 助手命令。
-
-Hooks 也可以捆绑在插件中；参见 [插件](/plugin#plugin-hooks)。
-
-常见用途：
-
-- 重置会话时保存记忆快照
-- 保留命令审计跟踪用于故障排除或合规
-- 会话开始或结束时触发后续自动化
-- 事件触发时向智能体工作区写入文件或调用外部 API
-
-如果你能写一个小的 TypeScript 函数，你就能写一个 hook。Hooks 会自动发现，你可以通过 CLI 启用或禁用它们。
-
-## 概述
-
-hooks 系统允许你：
-
-- 在发出 `/new` 时将会话上下文保存到记忆
-- 记录所有命令以供审计
-- 在智能体生命周期事件上触发自定义自动化
-- 在不修改核心代码的情况下扩展 OpenClaw 的行为
-
-## 入门
-
-### 捆绑的 Hooks
-
-OpenClaw 附带四个自动发现的捆绑 hooks：
-
-- **💾 session-memory**：当你发出 `/new` 时将会话上下文保存到智能体工作区（默认 `~/.openclaw/workspace/memory/`）
-- **📝 command-logger**：将所有命令事件记录到 `~/.openclaw/logs/commands.log`
-- **🚀 boot-md**：当 Gateway 网关启动时运行 `BOOT.md`（需要启用内部 hooks）
-- **😈 soul-evil**：在清除窗口期间或随机机会下将注入的 `SOUL.md` 内容替换为 `SOUL_EVIL.md`
-
-列出可用的 hooks：
-
-```bash
-openclaw hooks list
-```
-
-启用一个 hook：
-
-```bash
-openclaw hooks enable session-memory
-```
-
-检查 hook 状态：
-
-```bash
-openclaw hooks check
-```
-
-获取详细信息：
-
-```bash
-openclaw hooks info session-memory
-```
-
-### 新手引导
-
-在新手引导期间（`openclaw onboard`），你将被提示启用推荐的 hooks。向导会自动发现符合条件的 hooks 并呈现供选择。
-
-## Hook 发现
-
-Hooks 从三个目录自动发现（按优先级顺序）：
-
-1. **工作区 hooks**：`<workspace>/hooks/`（每智能体，最高优先级）
-2. **托管 hooks**：`~/.openclaw/hooks/`（用户安装，跨工作区共享）
-3. **捆绑 hooks**：`<openclaw>/dist/hooks/bundled/`（随 OpenClaw 附带）
-
-托管 hook 目录可以是**单个 hook** 或 **hook 包**（包目录）。
-
-每个 hook 是一个包含以下内容的目录：
-
-```
-my-hook/
-├── HOOK.md          # 元数据 + 文档
-└── handler.ts       # 处理程序实现
-```
-
-## Hook 包（npm/archives）
-
-Hook 包是标准的 npm 包，通过 `package.json` 中的 `openclaw.hooks` 导出一个或多个 hooks。使用以下命令安装：
-
-```bash
-openclaw hooks install <path-or-spec>
-```
-
-示例 `package.json`：
-
-```json
-{
-  "name": "@acme/my-hooks",
-  "version": "0.1.0",
-  "openclaw": {
-    "hooks": ["./hooks/my-hook", "./hooks/other-hook"]
-  }
-}
-```
-
-每个条目指向包含 `HOOK.md` 和 `handler.ts`（或 `index.ts`）的 hook 目录。
-Hook 包可以附带依赖；它们将安装在 `~/.openclaw/hooks/<id>` 下。
-
-## Hook 结构
-
-### HOOK.md 格式
-
-`HOOK.md` 文件在 YAML frontmatter 中包含元数据，加上 Markdown 文档：
-
-```markdown
----
-name: my-hook
-description: "Short description of what this hook does"
-homepage: https://docs.openclaw.ai/hooks#my-hook
-metadata:
-  { "openclaw": { "emoji": "🔗", "events": ["command:new"], "requires": { "bins": ["node"] } } }
----
-
-# My Hook
-
-Detailed documentation goes here...
-
-## What It Does
-
-- Listens for `/new` commands
-- Performs some action
-- Logs the result
-
-## Requirements
-
-- Node.js must be installed
-
-## Configuration
-
-No configuration needed.
-```
-
-### 元数据字段
-
-`metadata.openclaw` 对象支持：
-
-- **`emoji`**：CLI 的显示表情符号（例如 `"💾"`）
-- **`events`**：要监听的事件数组（例如 `["command:new", "command:reset"]`）
-- **`export`**：要使用的命名导出（默认为 `"default"`）
-- **`homepage`**：文档 URL
-- **`requires`**：可选要求
-  - **`bins`**：PATH 中需要的二进制文件（例如 `["git", "node"]`）
-  - **`anyBins`**：这些二进制文件中至少有一个必须存在
-  - **`env`**：需要的环境变量
-  - **`config`**：需要的配置路径（例如 `["workspace.dir"]`）
-  - **`os`**：需要的平台（例如 `["darwin", "linux"]`）
-- **`always`**：绕过资格检查（布尔值）
-- **`install`**：安装方法（对于捆绑 hooks：`[{"id":"bundled","kind":"bundled"}]`）
-
-### 处理程序实现
-
-`handler.ts` 文件导出一个 `HookHandler` 函数：
-
-```typescript
-import type { HookHandler } from "../../src/hooks/hooks.js";
-
-const myHandler: HookHandler = async (event) => {
-  // Only trigger on 'new' command
-  if (event.type !== "command" || event.action !== "new") {
-    return;
-  }
-
-  console.log(`[my-hook] New command triggered`);
-  console.log(`  Session: ${event.sessionKey}`);
-  console.log(`  Timestamp: ${event.timestamp.toISOString()}`);
-
-  // Your custom logic here
-
-  // Optionally send message to user
-  event.messages.push("✨ My hook executed!");
-};
-
-export default myHandler;
-```
-
-#### 事件上下文
-
-每个事件包含：
-
-```typescript
-{
-  type: 'command' | 'session' | 'agent' | 'gateway',
-  action: string,              // e.g., 'new', 'reset', 'stop'
-  sessionKey: string,          // Session identifier
-  timestamp: Date,             // When the event occurred
-  messages: string[],          // Push messages here to send to user
-  context: {
-    sessionEntry?: SessionEntry,
-    sessionId?: string,
-    sessionFile?: string,
-    commandSource?: string,    // e.g., 'whatsapp', 'telegram'
-    senderId?: string,
-    workspaceDir?: string,
-    bootstrapFiles?: WorkspaceBootstrapFile[],
-    cfg?: OpenClawConfig
-  }
-}
-```
-
-## 事件类型
-
-### 命令事件
-
-当发出智能体命令时触发：
-
-- **`command`**：所有命令事件（通用监听器）
-- **`command:new`**：当发出 `/new` 命令时
-- **`command:reset`**：当发出 `/reset` 命令时
-- **`command:stop`**：当发出 `/stop` 命令时
-
-### 智能体事件
-
-- **`agent:bootstrap`**：在注入工作区引导文件之前（hooks 可以修改 `context.bootstrapFiles`）
-
-### Gateway 网关事件
-
-当 Gateway 网关启动时触发：
-
-- **`gateway:startup`**：在渠道启动和 hooks 加载之后
-
-### 工具结果 Hooks（插件 API）
-
-这些 hooks 不是事件流监听器；它们让插件在 OpenClaw 持久化工具结果之前同步调整它们。
-
-- **`tool_result_persist`**：在工具结果写入会话记录之前转换它们。必须是同步的；返回更新后的工具结果负载或 `undefined` 保持原样。参见 [智能体循环](/concepts/agent-loop)。
-
-### 未来事件
-
-计划中的事件类型：
-
-- **`session:start`**：当新会话开始时
-- **`session:end`**：当会话结束时
-- **`agent:error`**：当智能体遇到错误时
-- **`message:sent`**：当消息被发送时
-- **`message:received`**：当消息被接收时
-
-## 创建自定义 Hooks
-
-### 1. 选择位置
-
-- **工作区 hooks**（`<workspace>/hooks/`）：每智能体，最高优先级
-- **托管 hooks**（`~/.openclaw/hooks/`）：跨工作区共享
-
-### 2. 创建目录结构
-
-```bash
-mkdir -p ~/.openclaw/hooks/my-hook
-cd ~/.openclaw/hooks/my-hook
-```
-
-### 3. 创建 HOOK.md
-
-```markdown
----
-name: my-hook
-description: "Does something useful"
-metadata: { "openclaw": { "emoji": "🎯", "events": ["command:new"] } }
----
-
-# My Custom Hook
-
-This hook does something useful when you issue `/new`.
-```
-
-### 4. 创建 handler.ts
-
-```typescript
-import type { HookHandler } from "../../src/hooks/hooks.js";
-
-const handler: HookHandler = async (event) => {
-  if (event.type !== "command" || event.action !== "new") {
-    return;
-  }
-
-  console.log("[my-hook] Running!");
-  // Your logic here
-};
-
-export default handler;
-```
-
-### 5. 启用并测试
-
-```bash
-# Verify hook is discovered
-openclaw hooks list
-
-# Enable it
-openclaw hooks enable my-hook
-
-# Restart your gateway process (menu bar app restart on macOS, or restart your dev process)
-
-# Trigger the event
-# Send /new via your messaging channel
-```
-
-## 配置
-
-### 新配置格式（推荐）
-
-```json
-{
-  "hooks": {
-    "internal": {
-      "enabled": true,
-      "entries": {
-        "session-memory": { "enabled": true },
-        "command-logger": { "enabled": false }
-      }
-    }
-  }
-}
-```
-
-### 每 Hook 配置
-
-Hooks 可以有自定义配置：
-
-```json
-{
-  "hooks": {
-    "internal": {
-      "enabled": true,
-      "entries": {
-        "my-hook": {
-          "enabled": true,
-          "env": {
-            "MY_CUSTOM_VAR": "value"
-          }
-        }
-      }
-    }
-  }
-}
-```
-
-### 额外目录
-
-从额外目录加载 hooks：
-
-```json
-{
-  "hooks": {
-    "internal": {
-      "enabled": true,
-      "load": {
-        "extraDirs": ["/path/to/more/hooks"]
-      }
-    }
-  }
-}
-```
-
-### 遗留配置格式（仍然支持）
-
-旧配置格式仍然有效以保持向后兼容：
-
-```json
-{
-  "hooks": {
-    "internal": {
-      "enabled": true,
-      "handlers": [
-        {
-          "event": "command:new",
-          "module": "./hooks/handlers/my-handler.ts",
-          "export": "default"
-        }
-      ]
-    }
-  }
-}
-```
-
-**迁移**：对新 hooks 使用基于发现的新系统。遗留处理程序在基于目录的 hooks 之后加载。
-
-## CLI 命令

-
-### session-memory
-
-当你发出 `/new` 时将会话上下文保存到记忆。
-
-**事件**：`command:new`
-
-**要求**：必须配置 `workspace.dir`
-
-**输出**：`<workspace>/memory/YYYY-MM-DD-slug.md`（默认为 `~/.openclaw/workspace`）
-
-**功能**：
-
-1. 使用预重置会话条目定位正确的记录
-2. 提取最后 15 行对话
-3. 使用 LLM 生成描述性文件名 slug
-4. 将会话元数据保存到带日期的记忆文件
-
-**示例输出**：
-
-```markdown
-# Session: 2026-01-16 14:30:00 UTC
-
-- **Session Key**: agent:main:main
-- **Session ID**: abc123def456
-- **Source**: telegram
-```
-
-**文件名示例**：
-
-- `2026-01-16-vendor-pitch.md`
-- `2026-01-16-api-design.md`
-- `2026-01-16-1430.md`（如果 slug 生成失败则回退到时间戳）
-
-**启用**：
-
-```bash
-openclaw hooks enable session-memory
-```
-
-### command-logger
-
-将所有命令事件记录到集中审计文件。
-
-**事件**：`command`
-
-**要求**：无
-
-**输出**：`~/.openclaw/logs/commands.log`
-
-**功能**：
-
-1. 捕获事件详情（命令操作、时间戳、会话键、发送者 ID、来源）
-2. 以 JSONL 格式追加到日志文件
-3. 在后台静默运行
-
-**示例日志条目**：
-
-```jsonl
-{"timestamp":"2026-01-16T14:30:00.000Z","action":"new","sessionKey":"agent:main:main","senderId":"+1234567890","source":"telegram"}
-{"timestamp":"2026-01-16T15:45:22.000Z","action":"stop","sessionKey":"agent:main:main","senderId":"user@example.com","source":"whatsapp"}
-```
-
-**查看日志**：

-
-### boot-md
-
-当 Gateway 网关启动时运行 `BOOT.md`（在渠道启动之后）。
-必须启用内部 hooks 才能运行。
-
-**事件**：`gateway:startup`
-
-**要求**：必须配置 `workspace.dir`
-
-**功能**：
-
-1. 从你的工作区读取 `BOOT.md`
-2. 通过智能体运行器运行指令
-3. 通过 message 工具发送任何请求的出站消息
-
-**启用**：
-
-```bash
-openclaw hooks enable boot-md
-```
-
-## 最佳实践
-
-### 保持处理程序快速
-
-Hooks 在命令处理期间运行。保持它们轻量：
-
-```typescript
-// ✓ Good - async work, returns immediately
-const handler: HookHandler = async (event) => {
-  void processInBackground(event); // Fire and forget
-};
-
-// ✗ Bad - blocks command processing
-const handler: HookHandler = async (event) => {
-  await slowDatabaseQuery(event);
-  await evenSlowerAPICall(event);
-};
-```
-
-### 优雅处理错误
-
-始终包装有风险的操作：
-
-```typescript
-const handler: HookHandler = async (event) => {
-  try {
-    await riskyOperation(event);
-  } catch (err) {
-    console.error("[my-handler] Failed:", err instanceof Error ? err.message : String(err));
-    // Don't throw - let other handlers run
-  }
-};
-```
-
-### 尽早过滤事件
-
-如果事件不相关则尽早返回：
-
-```typescript
-const handler: HookHandler = async (event) => {
-  // Only handle 'new' commands
-  if (event.type !== "command" || event.action !== "new") {
-    return;
-  }
-
-  // Your logic here
-};
-```
-
-### 使用特定事件键
-
-尽可能在元数据中指定确切事件：
-
-```yaml
-metadata: { "openclaw": { "events": ["command:new"] } } # Specific
-```
-
-而不是：
-
-```yaml
-metadata: { "openclaw": { "events": ["command"] } } # General - more overhead
-```
-
-## 调试
-
-### 启用 Hook 日志
-
-Gateway 网关在启动时记录 hook 加载：
-
-```
-Registered hook: session-memory -> command:new
-Registered hook: command-logger -> command
-Registered hook: boot-md -> gateway:startup
-```
-
-### 检查发现
-
-列出所有发现的 hooks：
-
-```bash
-openclaw hooks list --verbose
-```
-
-### 检查注册
-
-在你的处理程序中，记录它被调用的时间：
-
-```typescript
-const handler: HookHandler = async (event) => {
-  console.log("[my-handler] Triggered:", event.type, event.action);
-  // Your logic
-};
-```
-
-### 验证资格
-
-检查为什么 hook 不符合条件：
-
-```bash
-openclaw hooks info my-hook
-```
-
-在输出中查找缺失的要求。
-
-## 测试
-
-### Gateway 网关日志
-
-监控 Gateway 网关日志以查看 hook 执行：
-
-```bash
-# macOS
-./scripts/clawlog.sh -f
-
-# Other platforms
-tail -f ~/.openclaw/gateway.log
-```
-
-### 直接测试 Hooks
-
-隔离测试你的处理程序：
-
-```typescript
-import { test } from "vitest";
-import { createHookEvent } from "./src/hooks/hooks.js";
-import myHandler from "./hooks/my-hook/handler.js";
-
-test("my handler works", async () => {
-  const event = createHookEvent("command", "new", "test-session", {
-    foo: "bar",
-  });
-
-  await myHandler(event);
-
-  // Assert side effects
-});
-```
-
-## 架构
-
-### 核心组件
-
-- **`src/hooks/types.ts`**：类型定义
-- **`src/hooks/workspace.ts`**：目录扫描和加载
-- **`src/hooks/frontmatter.ts`**：HOOK.md 元数据解析
-- **`src/hooks/config.ts`**：资格检查
-- **`src/hooks/hooks-status.ts`**：状态报告
-- **`src/hooks/loader.ts`**：动态模块加载器
-- **`src/cli/hooks-cli.ts`**：CLI 命令
-- **`src/gateway/server-startup.ts`**：在 Gateway 网关启动时加载 hooks
-- **`src/auto-reply/reply/commands-core.ts`**：触发命令事件
-
-### 发现流程
-
-```
-Gateway 网关启动
-    ↓
-扫描目录（工作区 → 托管 → 捆绑）
-    ↓
-解析 HOOK.md 文件
-    ↓
-检查资格（bins、env、config、os）
-    ↓
-从符合条件的 hooks 加载处理程序
-    ↓
-为事件注册处理程序
-```
-
-### 事件流程
-
-```
-用户发送 /new
-    ↓
-命令验证
-    ↓
-创建 hook 事件
-    ↓
-触发 hook（所有注册的处理程序）
-    ↓
-命令处理继续
-    ↓
-会话重置
-```
-
-## 故障排除
-
-### Hook 未被发现
-
-1. 检查目录结构：
-
-   ```bash
-   ls -la ~/.openclaw/hooks/my-hook/
-   # Should show: HOOK.md, handler.ts
-   ```
-
-2. 验证 HOOK.md 格式：
-
-   ```bash
-   cat ~/.openclaw/hooks/my-hook/HOOK.md
-   # Should have YAML frontmatter with name and metadata
-   ```
-
-3. 列出所有发现的 hooks：
-   ```bash
-   openclaw hooks list
-   ```
-
-### Hook 不符合条件
-
-检查要求：
-
-```bash
-openclaw hooks info my-hook
-```
-
-查找缺失的：
-
-- 二进制文件（检查 PATH）
-- 环境变量
-- 配置值
-- 操作系统兼容性
-
-### Hook 未执行
-
-1. 验证 hook 已启用：
-
-   ```bash
-   openclaw hooks list
-   # Should show ✓ next to enabled hooks
-   ```
-
-2. 重启你的 Gateway 网关进程以重新加载 hooks。
-
-3. 检查 Gateway 网关日志中的错误：
-   ```bash
-   ./scripts/clawlog.sh | grep hook
-   ```
-
-### 处理程序错误
-
-检查 TypeScript/import 错误：
-
-```bash
-# Test import directly
-node -e "import('./path/to/handler.ts').then(console.log)"
-```
-
-## 迁移指南
-
-### 从遗留配置到发现
-
-**之前**：
-
-```json
-{
-  "hooks": {
-    "internal": {
-      "enabled": true,
-      "handlers": [
-        {
-          "event": "command:new",
-          "module": "./hooks/handlers/my-handler.ts"
-        }
-      ]
-    }
-  }
-}
-```
-
-**之后**：
-
-1. 创建 hook 目录：
-
-   ```bash
-   mkdir -p ~/.openclaw/hooks/my-hook
-   mv ./hooks/handlers/my-handler.ts ~/.openclaw/hooks/my-hook/handler.ts
-   ```
-
-2. 创建 HOOK.md：
-
-   ```markdown
-   ---
-   name: my-hook
-   description: "My custom hook"
-   metadata: { "openclaw": { "emoji": "🎯", "events": ["command:new"] } }
-   ---
-
-   # My Hook
-
-   Does something useful.
-   ```
-
-3. 更新配置：
-
-   ```json
-   {
-     "hooks": {
-       "internal": {
-         "enabled": true,
-         "entries": {
-           "my-hook": { "enabled": true }
-         }
-       }
-     }
-   }
-   ```
-
-4. 验证并重启你的 Gateway 网关进程：
-   ```bash
-   openclaw hooks list
-   # Should show: 🎯 my-hook ✓
-   ```
-
-**迁移的好处**：
-
-- 自动发现
-- CLI 管理
-- 资格检查
-- 更好的文档
-- 一致的结构

-# SOUL Evil 钩子
-
-SOUL Evil 钩子在清除窗口期间或随机概率下，将**注入的** `SOUL.md` 内容替换为 `SOUL_EVIL.md`。它**不会**修改磁盘上的文件。
-
-## 工作原理
-
-当 `agent:bootstrap` 运行时，该钩子可以在系统提示词组装之前，在内存中替换 `SOUL.md` 的内容。如果 `SOUL_EVIL.md` 缺失或为空，OpenClaw 会记录警告并保留正常的 `SOUL.md`。
-
-子智能体运行**不会**在其引导文件中包含 `SOUL.md`，因此此钩子对子智能体没有影响。
-
-## 启用
-
-```bash
-openclaw hooks enable soul-evil
-```
-
-然后设置配置：
-
-```json
-{
-  "hooks": {
-    "internal": {
-      "enabled": true,
-      "entries": {
-        "soul-evil": {
-          "enabled": true,
-          "file": "SOUL_EVIL.md",
-          "chance": 0.1,
-          "purge": { "at": "21:00", "duration": "15m" }
-        }
-      }
-    }
-  }
-}
-```
-
-在智能体工作区根目录（`SOUL.md` 旁边）创建 `SOUL_EVIL.md`。
-
-## 选项
-
-- `file`（字符串）：替代的 SOUL 文件名（默认：`SOUL_EVIL.md`）
-- `chance`（数字 0–1）：每次运行使用 `SOUL_EVIL.md` 的随机概率
-- `purge.at`（HH:mm）：每日清除开始时间（24 小时制）
-- `purge.duration`（时长）：窗口长度（例如 `30s`、`10m`、`1h`）
-
-**优先级：** 清除窗口优先于随机概率。
-
-**时区：** 设置了 `agents.defaults.userTimezone` 时使用该时区；否则使用主机时区。
-
-## 注意事项
-
-- 不会在磁盘上写入或修改任何文件。
-- 如果 `SOUL.md` 不在引导列表中，该钩子不执行任何操作。

-# Node.js + npm（PATH 安装完整性检查）
+# Node.js
 
-OpenClaw 的运行时基线要求为 **Node 22+**。
-
-如果你能运行 `npm install -g openclaw@latest`，但之后看到 `openclaw: command not found`，这几乎总是 **PATH** 问题：npm 存放全局二进制文件的目录不在你 shell 的 PATH 中。
-
-## 快速诊断
-
-运行：
-
-```bash
-node -v
-npm -v
-npm prefix -g
-echo "$PATH"
-```
-
-如果 `$(npm prefix -g)/bin`（macOS/Linux）或 `$(npm prefix -g)`（Windows）**未出现**在 `echo "$PATH"` 的输出中，你的 shell 就无法找到全局 npm 二进制文件（包括 `openclaw`）。
-
-## 修复：将 npm 的全局 bin 目录添加到 PATH
-
-1. 查找你的全局 npm 前缀：
-
-```bash
-npm prefix -g
-```
-
-2. 将全局 npm bin 目录添加到你的 shell 启动文件中：
-
-- zsh：`~/.zshrc`
-- bash：`~/.bashrc`
-
-示例（将路径替换为你的 `npm prefix -g` 输出）：
-
-```bash
-# macOS / Linux
-export PATH="/path/from/npm/prefix/bin:$PATH"
-```
-
-然后打开一个**新终端**（或在 zsh 中运行 `rehash` / 在 bash 中运行 `hash -r`）。
-
-在 Windows 上，将 `npm prefix -g` 的输出添加到你的 PATH 中。
-
-## 修复：避免 `sudo npm install -g` / 权限错误（Linux）
-
-如果 `npm install -g ...` 因 `EACCES` 失败，请将 npm 的全局前缀切换到用户可写的目录：
-
-```bash
-mkdir -p "$HOME/.npm-global"
-npm config set prefix "$HOME/.npm-global"
-export PATH="$HOME/.npm-global/bin:$PATH"
-```
-
-将 `export PATH=...` 这一行持久化到你的 shell 启动文件中。
-
-## 推荐的 Node 安装方式
-
-如果 Node/npm 的安装方式满足以下条件，你将遇到最少的问题：
-
-- 保持 Node 更新（22+）
-- 使全局 npm bin 目录稳定且在新 shell 中位于 PATH 中
-
-常见选择：
-
-- macOS：Homebrew（`brew install node`）或版本管理器
-- Linux：你偏好的版本管理器，或提供 Node 22+ 的发行版支持的安装方式
-- Windows：官方 Node 安装程序、`winget` 或 Windows Node 版本管理器
-
-如果你使用版本管理器（nvm/fnm/asdf 等），请确保它在你日常使用的 shell（zsh 或 bash）中已初始化，这样它设置的 PATH 在你运行安装程序时才会生效。

-# 多智能体沙箱与工具配置
-
-## 概述
-
-多智能体设置中的每个智能体现在可以拥有自己的：
-
-- **沙箱配置**（`agents.list[].sandbox` 覆盖 `agents.defaults.sandbox`）
-- **工具限制**（`tools.allow` / `tools.deny`，以及 `agents.list[].tools`）
-
-这允许你运行具有不同安全配置文件的多个智能体：
-
-- 具有完全访问权限的个人助手
-- 具有受限工具的家庭/工作智能体
-- 在沙箱中运行的面向公众的智能体
-
-`setupCommand` 属于 `sandbox.docker` 下（全局或按智能体），在容器创建时运行一次。
-
-认证是按智能体的：每个智能体从其自己的 `agentDir` 认证存储读取：
-
-```
-~/.openclaw/agents/<agentId>/agent/auth-profiles.json
-```
-
-凭证**不会**在智能体之间共享。切勿在智能体之间重用 `agentDir`。
-如果你想共享凭证，请将 `auth-profiles.json` 复制到其他智能体的 `agentDir` 中。
-

-有关调试"为什么这被阻止了？"，请参见[沙箱 vs 工具策略 vs 提权](/gateway/sandbox-vs-tool-policy-vs-elevated) 和 `openclaw sandbox explain`。

-## 配置示例
-
-### 示例 1：个人 + 受限家庭智能体
-
-```json
-{
-  "agents": {
-    "list": [
-      {
-        "id": "main",
-        "default": true,
-        "name": "Personal Assistant",
-        "workspace": "~/.openclaw/workspace",
-        "sandbox": { "mode": "off" }
-      },
-      {
-        "id": "family",
-        "name": "Family Bot",
-        "workspace": "~/.openclaw/workspace-family",
-        "sandbox": {
-          "mode": "all",
-          "scope": "agent"
-        },
-        "tools": {
-          "allow": ["read"],
-          "deny": ["exec", "write", "edit", "apply_patch", "process", "browser"]
-        }
-      }
-    ]
-  },
-  "bindings": [
-    {
-      "agentId": "family",
-      "match": {
-        "provider": "whatsapp",
-        "accountId": "*",
-        "peer": {
-          "kind": "group",
-          "id": "120363424282127706@g.us"
-        }
-      }
-    }
-  ]
-}
-```
-
-**结果：**
-
-- `main` 智能体：在主机上运行，完全工具访问
-- `family` 智能体：在 Docker 中运行（每个智能体一个容器），仅有 `read` 工具
-

-          "deny": ["browser", "gateway", "discord"]

-      }
-    ]
-  }
-}
-```
-
-**结果：**
-
-- 默认智能体获得编码工具
-- `support` 智能体仅用于消息（+ Slack 工具）
-
----
-
-### 示例 3：每个智能体不同的沙箱模式
-
-```json
-{
-  "agents": {
-    "defaults": {
-      "sandbox": {
-        "mode": "non-main", // 全局默认
-        "scope": "session"
-      }
-    },
-    "list": [
-      {
-        "id": "main",
-        "workspace": "~/.openclaw/workspace",
-        "sandbox": {
-          "mode": "off" // 覆盖：main 永不沙箱隔离
-        }
-      },
-      {
-        "id": "public",
-        "workspace": "~/.openclaw/workspace-public",
-        "sandbox": {
-          "mode": "all", // 覆盖：public 始终沙箱隔离
-          "scope": "agent"
-        },
-        "tools": {
-          "allow": ["read"],
-          "deny": ["exec", "write", "edit", "apply_patch"]
-        }
-      }
-    ]
-  }
-}
-```
-
----
-
-## 配置优先级
-
-当全局（`agents.defaults.*`）和智能体特定（`agents.list[].*`）配置同时存在时：
-
-### 沙箱配置
-
-智能体特定设置覆盖全局：
-
-```
-agents.list[].sandbox.mode > agents.defaults.sandbox.mode
-agents.list[].sandbox.scope > agents.defaults.sandbox.scope
-agents.list[].sandbox.workspaceRoot > agents.defaults.sandbox.workspaceRoot
-agents.list[].sandbox.workspaceAccess > agents.defaults.sandbox.workspaceAccess
-agents.list[].sandbox.docker.* > agents.defaults.sandbox.docker.*
-agents.list[].sandbox.browser.* > agents.defaults.sandbox.browser.*
-agents.list[].sandbox.prune.* > agents.defaults.sandbox.prune.*
-```
-
-**注意事项：**
-
-- `agents.list[].sandbox.{docker,browser,prune}.*` 为该智能体覆盖 `agents.defaults.sandbox.{docker,browser,prune}.*`（当沙箱 scope 解析为 `"shared"` 时忽略）。
-
-### 工具限制
-
-过滤顺序是：
-
-1. **工具配置文件**（`tools.profile` 或 `agents.list[].tools.profile`）
-2. **提供商工具配置文件**（`tools.byProvider[provider].profile` 或 `agents.list[].tools.byProvider[provider].profile`）
-3. **全局工具策略**（`tools.allow` / `tools.deny`）
-4. **提供商工具策略**（`tools.byProvider[provider].allow/deny`）
-5. **智能体特定工具策略**（`agents.list[].tools.allow/deny`）
-6. **智能体提供商策略**（`agents.list[].tools.byProvider[provider].allow/deny`）
-7. **沙箱工具策略**（`tools.sandbox.tools` 或 `agents.list[].tools.sandbox.tools`）
-8. **子智能体工具策略**（`tools.subagents.tools`，如适用）
-
-每个级别可以进一步限制工具，但不能恢复之前级别拒绝的工具。
-如果设置了 `agents.list[].tools.sandbox.tools`，它将替换该智能体的 `tools.sandbox.tools`。
-如果设置了 `agents.list[].tools.profile`，它将覆盖该智能体的 `tools.profile`。
-提供商工具键接受 `provider`（例如 `google-antigravity`）或 `provider/model`（例如 `openai/gpt-5.2`）。
-
-### 工具组（简写）
-
-工具策略（全局、智能体、沙箱）支持 `group:*` 条目，可扩展为多个具体工具：
-
-- `group:runtime`：`exec`、`bash`、`process`
-- `group:fs`：`read`、`write`、`edit`、`apply_patch`
-- `group:sessions`：`sessions_list`、`sessions_history`、`sessions_send`、`sessions_spawn`、`session_status`
-- `group:memory`：`memory_search`、`memory_get`
-- `group:ui`：`browser`、`canvas`
-- `group:automation`：`cron`、`gateway`
-- `group:messaging`：`message`
-- `group:nodes`：`nodes`
-- `group:openclaw`：所有内置 OpenClaw 工具（不包括提供商插件）
-
-### 提权模式
-
-`tools.elevated` 是全局基线（基于发送者的允许列表）。`agents.list[].tools.elevated` 可以为特定智能体进一步限制提权（两者都必须允许）。
-
-缓解模式：
-
-- 为不受信任的智能体拒绝 `exec`（`agents.list[].tools.deny: ["exec"]`）
-- 避免将发送者加入允许列表后路由到受限智能体
-- 如果你只想要沙箱隔离执行，全局禁用提权（`tools.elevated.enabled: false`）
-- 为敏感配置文件按智能体禁用提权（`agents.list[].tools.elevated.enabled: false`）
-
----
-
-## 从单智能体迁移
-
-**之前（单智能体）：**
-
-```json
-{
-  "agents": {
-    "defaults": {
-      "workspace": "~/.openclaw/workspace",
-      "sandbox": {
-        "mode": "non-main"
-      }
-    }
-  },
-  "tools": {
-    "sandbox": {
-      "tools": {
-        "allow": ["read", "write", "apply_patch", "exec"],
-        "deny": []
-      }
-    }
-  }
-}
-```
-
-**之后（具有不同配置文件的多智能体）：**
-
-```json
-{
-  "agents": {
-    "list": [
-      {
-        "id": "main",
-        "default": true,
-        "workspace": "~/.openclaw/workspace",
-        "sandbox": { "mode": "off" }
-      }
-    ]
-  }
-}
-```
-
-旧版 `agent.*` 配置由 `openclaw doctor` 迁移；今后请优先使用 `agents.defaults` + `agents.list`。
-
----
-
-## 工具限制示例
-
-### 只读智能体
-
-```json
-{
-  "tools": {
-    "allow": ["read"],
-    "deny": ["exec", "write", "edit", "apply_patch", "process"]
-  }
-}
-```
-
-### 安全执行智能体（无文件修改）
-
-```json
-{
-  "tools": {
-    "allow": ["read", "exec", "process"],
-    "deny": ["write", "edit", "apply_patch", "browser", "gateway"]
-  }
-}
-```
-
-### 仅通信智能体
-
-```json
-{
-  "tools": {
-    "allow": ["sessions_list", "sessions_send", "sessions_history", "session_status"],
-    "deny": ["exec", "write", "edit", "apply_patch", "read", "browser"]
-  }
-}
-```
-
----
-
-## 常见陷阱："non-main"
-
-`agents.defaults.sandbox.mode: "non-main"` 基于 `session.mainKey`（默认 `"main"`），
-而不是智能体 id。群组/渠道会话始终获得自己的键，因此它们
-被视为非 main 并将被沙箱隔离。如果你希望智能体永不
-沙箱隔离，请设置 `agents.list[].sandbox.mode: "off"`。
-
----
-
-## 测试
-
-配置多智能体沙箱和工具后：
-
-1. **检查智能体解析：**
-
-   ```exec
-   openclaw agents list --bindings
-   ```
-
-2. **验证沙箱容器：**
-
-   ```exec
-   docker ps --filter "name=openclaw-sbx-"
-   ```
-
-3. **测试工具限制：**
-   - 发送需要受限工具的消息
-   - 验证智能体无法使用被拒绝的工具
-
-4. **监控日志：**
-   ```exec
-   tail -f "${OPENCLAW_STATE_DIR:-$HOME/.openclaw}/logs/gateway.log" | grep -E "routing|sandbox|tools"
-   ```
-
----
-
-## 故障排除
-
-### 尽管设置了 `mode: "all"` 但智能体未被沙箱隔离
-
-- 检查是否有全局 `agents.defaults.sandbox.mode` 覆盖它
-- 智能体特定配置优先，因此设置 `agents.list[].sandbox.mode: "all"`
-
-### 尽管有拒绝列表但工具仍然可用
-
-- 检查工具过滤顺序：全局 → 智能体 → 沙箱 → 子智能体
-- 每个级别只能进一步限制，不能恢复
-- 通过日志验证：`[tools] filtering tools for agent:${agentId}`
-
-### 容器未按智能体隔离
-
-- 在智能体特定沙箱配置中设置 `scope: "agent"`
-- 默认是 `"session"`，每个会话创建一个容器

-# 插件（扩展）
-
-## 快速开始（插件新手？）
-
-插件只是一个**小型代码模块**，用额外功能（命令、工具和 Gateway 网关 RPC）扩展 OpenClaw。
-
-大多数时候，当你想要一个尚未内置到核心 OpenClaw 的功能（或你想将可选功能排除在主安装之外）时，你会使用插件。
-
-快速路径：
-
-1. 查看已加载的内容：
-
-```bash
-openclaw plugins list
-```
-
-2. 安装官方插件（例如：Voice Call）：
-
-```bash
-openclaw plugins install @openclaw/voice-call
-```
-
-3. 重启 Gateway 网关，然后在 `plugins.entries.<id>.config` 下配置。
-
-参见 [Voice Call](/plugins/voice-call) 了解具体的插件示例。
-
-## 可用插件（官方）
-
-- 从 2026.1.15 起 Microsoft Teams 仅作为插件提供；如果使用 Teams，请安装 `@openclaw/msteams`。
-- Memory (Core) — 捆绑的记忆搜索插件（通过 `plugins.slots.memory` 默认启用）
-- Memory (LanceDB) — 捆绑的长期记忆插件（自动召回/捕获；设置 `plugins.slots.memory = "memory-lancedb"`）
-- [Voice Call](/plugins/voice-call) — `@openclaw/voice-call`
-- [Zalo Personal](/plugins/zalouser) — `@openclaw/zalouser`
-- [Matrix](/channels/matrix) — `@openclaw/matrix`
-- [Nostr](/channels/nostr) — `@openclaw/nostr`
-- [Zalo](/channels/zalo) — `@openclaw/zalo`
-- [Microsoft Teams](/channels/msteams) — `@openclaw/msteams`
-- Google Antigravity OAuth（提供商认证）— 作为 `google-antigravity-auth` 捆绑（默认禁用）
-- Gemini CLI OAuth（提供商认证）— 作为 `google-gemini-cli-auth` 捆绑（默认禁用）
-- Qwen OAuth（提供商认证）— 作为 `qwen-portal-auth` 捆绑（默认禁用）
-- Copilot Proxy（提供商认证）— 本地 VS Code Copilot Proxy 桥接；与内置 `github-copilot` 设备登录不同（捆绑，默认禁用）
-
-OpenClaw 插件是通过 jiti 在运行时加载的 **TypeScript 模块**。**配置验证不会执行插件代码**；它使用插件清单和 JSON Schema。参见 [插件清单](/plugins/manifest)。
-
-插件可以注册：
-
-- Gateway 网关 RPC 方法
-- Gateway 网关 HTTP 处理程序
-- 智能体工具
-- CLI 命令
-- 后台服务
-- 可选的配置验证
-- **Skills**（通过在插件清单中列出 `skills` 目录）
-- **自动回复命令**（不调用 AI 智能体即可执行）
-
-插件与 Gateway 网关**在同一进程中**运行，因此将它们视为受信任的代码。
-工具编写指南：[插件智能体工具](/plugins/agent-tools)。
-
-## 运行时辅助工具
-
-插件可以通过 `api.runtime` 访问选定的核心辅助工具。对于电话 TTS：
-
-```ts
-const result = await api.runtime.tts.textToSpeechTelephony({
-  text: "Hello from OpenClaw",
-  cfg: api.config,
-});
-```
-
-注意事项：
-
-- 使用核心 `messages.tts` 配置（OpenAI 或 ElevenLabs）。
-- 返回 PCM 音频缓冲区 + 采样率。插件必须为提供商重新采样/编码。
-- Edge TTS 不支持电话。
-
-## 发现和优先级
-
-OpenClaw 按顺序扫描：
-
-1. 配置路径
-
-- `plugins.load.paths`（文件或目录）
-
-2. 工作区扩展
-
-- `<workspace>/.openclaw/extensions/*.ts`
-- `<workspace>/.openclaw/extensions/*/index.ts`
-
-3. 全局扩展
-
-- `~/.openclaw/extensions/*.ts`
-- `~/.openclaw/extensions/*/index.ts`
-
-4. 捆绑扩展（随 OpenClaw 一起发布，**默认禁用**）
-
-- `<openclaw>/extensions/*`
-
-捆绑插件必须通过 `plugins.entries.<id>.enabled` 或 `openclaw plugins enable <id>` 显式启用。已安装的插件默认启用，但可以用相同方式禁用。
-
-每个插件必须在其根目录中包含 `openclaw.plugin.json` 文件。如果路径指向文件，则插件根目录是文件的目录，必须包含清单。
-
-如果多个插件解析到相同的 id，上述顺序中的第一个匹配项获胜，较低优先级的副本被忽略。
-
-### 包集合
-
-插件目录可以包含带有 `openclaw.extensions` 的 `package.json`：
-
-```json
-{
-  "name": "my-pack",
-  "openclaw": {
-    "extensions": ["./src/safety.ts", "./src/tools.ts"]
-  }
-}
-```
-
-每个条目成为一个插件。如果包列出多个扩展，插件 id 变为 `name/<fileBase>`。
-
-如果你的插件导入 npm 依赖，请在该目录中安装它们以便 `node_modules` 可用（`npm install` / `pnpm install`）。
-
-### 渠道目录元数据
-
-渠道插件可以通过 `openclaw.channel` 广播新手引导元数据，通过 `openclaw.install` 广播安装提示。这使核心目录保持无数据。
-
-示例：
-
-```json
-{
-  "name": "@openclaw/nextcloud-talk",
-  "openclaw": {
-    "extensions": ["./index.ts"],
-    "channel": {
-      "id": "nextcloud-talk",
-      "label": "Nextcloud Talk",
-      "selectionLabel": "Nextcloud Talk (self-hosted)",
-      "docsPath": "/channels/nextcloud-talk",
-      "docsLabel": "nextcloud-talk",
-      "blurb": "Self-hosted chat via Nextcloud Talk webhook bots.",
-      "order": 65,
-      "aliases": ["nc-talk", "nc"]
-    },
-    "install": {
-      "npmSpec": "@openclaw/nextcloud-talk",
-      "localPath": "extensions/nextcloud-talk",
-      "defaultChoice": "npm"
-    }
-  }
-}
-```
-
-OpenClaw 还可以合并**外部渠道目录**（例如，MPM 注册表导出）。将 JSON 文件放在以下位置之一：
-
-- `~/.openclaw/mpm/plugins.json`
-- `~/.openclaw/mpm/catalog.json`
-- `~/.openclaw/plugins/catalog.json`
-
-或将 `OPENCLAW_PLUGIN_CATALOG_PATHS`（或 `OPENCLAW_MPM_CATALOG_PATHS`）指向一个或多个 JSON 文件（逗号/分号/`PATH` 分隔）。每个文件应包含 `{ "entries": [ { "name": "@scope/pkg", "openclaw": { "channel": {...}, "install": {...} } } ] }`。
-
-## 插件 ID
-
-默认插件 id：
-
-- 包集合：`package.json` 的 `name`
-- 独立文件：文件基本名称（`~/.../voice-call.ts` → `voice-call`）
-
-如果插件导出 `id`，OpenClaw 会使用它，但当它与配置的 id 不匹配时会发出警告。
-
-## 配置
-
-```json5
-{
-  plugins: {
-    enabled: true,
-    allow: ["voice-call"],
-    deny: ["untrusted-plugin"],
-    load: { paths: ["~/Projects/oss/voice-call-extension"] },
-    entries: {
-      "voice-call": { enabled: true, config: { provider: "twilio" } },
-    },
-  },
-}
-```
-
-字段：
-
-- `enabled`：主开关（默认：true）
-- `allow`：允许列表（可选）
-- `deny`：拒绝列表（可选；deny 优先）
-- `load.paths`：额外的插件文件/目录
-- `entries.<id>`：每个插件的开关 + 配置
-
-配置更改**需要重启 Gateway 网关**。
-
-验证规则（严格）：
-
-- `entries`、`allow`、`deny` 或 `slots` 中的未知插件 id 是**错误**。
-- 未知的 `channels.<id>` 键是**错误**，除非插件清单声明了渠道 id。
-- 插件配置使用嵌入在 `openclaw.plugin.json`（`configSchema`）中的 JSON Schema 进行验证。
-- 如果插件被禁用，其配置会保留并发出**警告**。
-
-## 插件槽位（独占类别）
-
-某些插件类别是**独占的**（一次只有一个活跃）。使用 `plugins.slots` 选择哪个插件拥有该槽位：
-
-```json5
-{
-  plugins: {
-    slots: {
-      memory: "memory-core", // or "none" to disable memory plugins
-    },
-  },
-}
-```
-
-如果多个插件声明 `kind: "memory"`，只有选定的那个加载。其他的被禁用并带有诊断信息。
-
-## 控制界面（schema + 标签）
-
-控制界面使用 `config.schema`（JSON Schema + `uiHints`）来渲染更好的表单。
-
-OpenClaw 在运行时根据发现的插件增强 `uiHints`：
-
-- 为 `plugins.entries.<id>` / `.enabled` / `.config` 添加每插件标签
-- 在以下位置合并可选的插件提供的配置字段提示：
-  `plugins.entries.<id>.config.<field>`
-
-如果你希望插件配置字段显示良好的标签/占位符（并将密钥标记为敏感），请在插件清单中提供 `uiHints` 和 JSON Schema。
-
-示例：
-
-```json
-{
-  "id": "my-plugin",
-  "configSchema": {
-    "type": "object",
-    "additionalProperties": false,
-    "properties": {
-      "apiKey": { "type": "string" },
-      "region": { "type": "string" }

-## CLI
-
-```bash
-openclaw plugins list
-openclaw plugins info <id>
-openclaw plugins install <path>                 # copy a local file/dir into ~/.openclaw/extensions/<id>
-openclaw plugins install ./extensions/voice-call # relative path ok
-openclaw plugins install ./plugin.tgz           # install from a local tarball
-openclaw plugins install ./plugin.zip           # install from a local zip
-openclaw plugins install -l ./extensions/voice-call # link (no copy) for dev
-openclaw plugins install @openclaw/voice-call # install from npm
-openclaw plugins update <id>
-openclaw plugins update --all
-openclaw plugins enable <id>
-openclaw plugins disable <id>
-openclaw plugins doctor
-```
-
-`plugins update` 仅适用于在 `plugins.installs` 下跟踪的 npm 安装。
-
-插件也可以注册自己的顶级命令（例如：`openclaw voicecall`）。
-
-## 插件 API（概述）
-
-插件导出以下之一：
-
-- 函数：`(api) => { ... }`
-- 对象：`{ id, name, configSchema, register(api) { ... } }`
-
-## 插件钩子
-
-插件可以附带钩子并在运行时注册它们。这让插件可以捆绑事件驱动的自动化，而无需单独安装钩子包。
-
-### 示例
-
-```
-import { registerPluginHooksFromDir } from "openclaw/plugin-sdk";
-
-export default function register(api) {
-  registerPluginHooksFromDir(api, "./hooks");
-}
-```
-
-注意事项：
-
-- 钩子目录遵循正常的钩子结构（`HOOK.md` + `handler.ts`）。
-- 钩子资格规则仍然适用（操作系统/二进制文件/环境/配置要求）。
-- 插件管理的钩子在 `openclaw hooks list` 中显示为 `plugin:<id>`。
-- 你不能通过 `openclaw hooks` 启用/禁用插件管理的钩子；而是启用/禁用插件。
-
-## 提供商插件（模型认证）
-
-插件可以注册**模型提供商认证**流程，以便用户可以在 OpenClaw 内运行 OAuth 或 API 密钥设置（无需外部脚本）。
-
-通过 `api.registerProvider(...)` 注册提供商。每个提供商暴露一个或多个认证方法（OAuth、API 密钥、设备码等）。这些方法驱动：
-
-- `openclaw models auth login --provider <id> [--method <id>]`
-
-示例：
-
-```ts
-api.registerProvider({
-  id: "acme",
-  label: "AcmeAI",
-  auth: [
-    {
-      id: "oauth",
-      label: "OAuth",
-      kind: "oauth",
-      run: async (ctx) => {
-        // Run OAuth flow and return auth profiles.
-        return {
-          profiles: [
-            {
-              profileId: "acme:default",
-              credential: {
-                type: "oauth",
-                provider: "acme",
-                access: "...",
-                refresh: "...",
-                expires: Date.now() + 3600 * 1000,
-              },
-            },
-          ],
-          defaultModel: "acme/opus-1",
-        };
-      },
-    },
-  ],
-});
-```
-
-注意事项：
-
-- `run` 接收带有 `prompter`、`runtime`、`openUrl` 和 `oauth.createVpsAwareHandlers` 辅助工具的 `ProviderAuthContext`。
-- 当需要添加默认模型或提供商配置时返回 `configPatch`。
-- 返回 `defaultModel` 以便 `--set-default` 可以更新智能体默认值。
-
-### 注册消息渠道
-
-插件可以注册**渠道插件**，其行为类似于内置渠道（WhatsApp、Telegram 等）。渠道配置位于 `channels.<id>` 下，由你的渠道插件代码验证。
-
-```ts
-const myChannel = {
-  id: "acmechat",
-  meta: {
-    id: "acmechat",
-    label: "AcmeChat",
-    selectionLabel: "AcmeChat (API)",
-    docsPath: "/channels/acmechat",
-    blurb: "demo channel plugin.",
-    aliases: ["acme"],
-  },
-  capabilities: { chatTypes: ["direct"] },
-  config: {
-    listAccountIds: (cfg) => Object.keys(cfg.channels?.acmechat?.accounts ?? {}),
-    resolveAccount: (cfg, accountId) =>
-      cfg.channels?.acmechat?.accounts?.[accountId ?? "default"] ?? {
-        accountId,
-      },
-  },
-  outbound: {
-    deliveryMode: "direct",
-    sendText: async () => ({ ok: true }),
-  },
-};
-
-export default function (api) {
-  api.registerChannel({ plugin: myChannel });
-}
-```
-
-注意事项：
-
-- 将配置放在 `channels.<id>` 下（而不是 `plugins.entries`）。
-- `meta.label` 用于 CLI/UI 列表中的标签。
-- `meta.aliases` 添加用于规范化和 CLI 输入的备用 id。
-- `meta.preferOver` 列出当两者都配置时要跳过自动启用的渠道 id。
-- `meta.detailLabel` 和 `meta.systemImage` 让 UI 显示更丰富的渠道标签/图标。
-
-### 编写新的消息渠道（分步指南）
-
-当你想要一个**新的聊天界面**（"消息渠道"）而不是模型提供商时使用此方法。
-模型提供商文档位于 `/providers/*` 下。
-
-1. 选择 id + 配置结构
-
-- 所有渠道配置位于 `channels.<id>` 下。
-- 对于多账户设置，优先使用 `channels.<id>.accounts.<accountId>`。
-
-2. 定义渠道元数据
-
-- `meta.label`、`meta.selectionLabel`、`meta.docsPath`、`meta.blurb` 控制 CLI/UI 列表。
-- `meta.docsPath` 应指向像 `/channels/<id>` 这样的文档页面。
-- `meta.preferOver` 让插件替换另一个渠道（自动启用优先选择它）。
-- `meta.detailLabel` 和 `meta.systemImage` 被 UI 用于详细文本/图标。
-
-3. 实现必需的适配器
-
-- `config.listAccountIds` + `config.resolveAccount`
-- `capabilities`（聊天类型、媒体、线程等）
-- `outbound.deliveryMode` + `outbound.sendText`（用于基本发送）
-
-4. 根据需要添加可选适配器
-
-- `setup`（向导）、`security`（私信策略）、`status`（健康/诊断）
-- `gateway`（启动/停止/登录）、`mentions`、`threading`、`streaming`
-- `actions`（消息操作）、`commands`（原生命令行为）
-
-5. 在插件中注册渠道
-
-- `api.registerChannel({ plugin })`
-
-最小配置示例：
-
-```json5
-{
-  channels: {
-    acmechat: {
-      accounts: {
-        default: { token: "ACME_TOKEN", enabled: true },
-      },
-    },
-  },
-}
-```
-
-最小渠道插件（仅出站）：
-
-```ts
-const plugin = {
-  id: "acmechat",
-  meta: {
-    id: "acmechat",
-    label: "AcmeChat",
-    selectionLabel: "AcmeChat (API)",
-    docsPath: "/channels/acmechat",
-    blurb: "AcmeChat messaging channel.",
-    aliases: ["acme"],
-  },
-  capabilities: { chatTypes: ["direct"] },
-  config: {
-    listAccountIds: (cfg) => Object.keys(cfg.channels?.acmechat?.accounts ?? {}),
-    resolveAccount: (cfg, accountId) =>
-      cfg.channels?.acmechat?.accounts?.[accountId ?? "default"] ?? {
-        accountId,
-      },
-  },
-  outbound: {
-    deliveryMode: "direct",
-    sendText: async ({ text }) => {
-      // deliver `text` to your channel here
-      return { ok: true };
-    },
-  },
-};
-
-export default function (api) {
-  api.registerChannel({ plugin });
-}
-```
-
-加载插件（扩展目录或 `plugins.load.paths`），重启 Gateway 网关，然后在配置中配置 `channels.<id>`。
-
-### 智能体工具
-
-参见专门指南：[插件智能体工具](/plugins/agent-tools)。
-
-### 注册 Gateway 网关 RPC 方法
-
-```ts
-export default function (api) {
-  api.registerGatewayMethod("myplugin.status", ({ respond }) => {
-    respond(true, { ok: true });
-  });
-}
-```
-
-### 注册 CLI 命令
-
-```ts
-export default function (api) {
-  api.registerCli(
-    ({ program }) => {
-      program.command("mycmd").action(() => {
-        console.log("Hello");
-      });
-    },
-    { commands: ["mycmd"] },
-  );
-}
-```
-
-### 注册自动回复命令
-
-插件可以注册自定义斜杠命令，**无需调用 AI 智能体**即可执行。这对于切换命令、状态检查或不需要 LLM 处理的快速操作很有用。
-
-```ts
-export default function (api) {
-  api.registerCommand({
-    name: "mystatus",
-    description: "Show plugin status",
-    handler: (ctx) => ({
-      text: `Plugin is running! Channel: ${ctx.channel}`,
-    }),
-  });
-}
-```
-
-命令处理程序上下文：
-
-- `senderId`：发送者的 ID（如可用）
-- `channel`：发送命令的渠道
-- `isAuthorizedSender`：发送者是否是授权用户
-- `args`：命令后传递的参数（如果 `acceptsArgs: true`）
-- `commandBody`：完整的命令文本
-- `config`：当前 OpenClaw 配置
-
-命令选项：
-
-- `name`：命令名称（不带前导 `/`）
-- `description`：命令列表中显示的帮助文本
-- `acceptsArgs`：命令是否接受参数（默认：false）。如果为 false 且提供了参数，命令不会匹配，消息会传递给其他处理程序
-- `requireAuth`：是否需要授权发送者（默认：true）
-- `handler`：返回 `{ text: string }` 的函数（可以是异步的）
-
-带授权和参数的示例：
-
-```ts
-api.registerCommand({
-  name: "setmode",
-  description: "Set plugin mode",
-  acceptsArgs: true,
-  requireAuth: true,
-  handler: async (ctx) => {
-    const mode = ctx.args?.trim() || "default";
-    await saveMode(mode);
-    return { text: `Mode set to: ${mode}` };
-  },
-});
-```
-
-注意事项：
-
-- 插件命令在内置命令和 AI 智能体**之前**处理
-- 命令全局注册，适用于所有渠道
-- 命令名称不区分大小写（`/MyStatus` 匹配 `/mystatus`）
-- 命令名称必须以字母开头，只能包含字母、数字、连字符和下划线
-- 保留的命令名称（如 `help`、`status`、`reset` 等）不能被插件覆盖
-- 跨插件的重复命令注册将失败并显示诊断错误
-
-### 注册后台服务
-
-```ts
-export default function (api) {
-  api.registerService({
-    id: "my-service",
-    start: () => api.logger.info("ready"),
-    stop: () => api.logger.info("bye"),
-  });
-}
-```
-
-## 命名约定
-
-- Gateway 网关方法：`pluginId.action`（例如：`voicecall.status`）
-- 工具：`snake_case`（例如：`voice_call`）
-- CLI 命令：kebab 或 camel，但避免与核心命令冲突
-
-## Skills
-
-插件可以在仓库中附带 Skills（`skills/<name>/SKILL.md`）。
-使用 `plugins.entries.<id>.enabled`（或其他配置门控）启用它，并确保它存在于你的工作区/托管 Skills 位置。
-
-## 分发（npm）
-
-推荐的打包方式：
-
-- 主包：`openclaw`（本仓库）
-- 插件：`@openclaw/*` 下的独立 npm 包（例如：`@openclaw/voice-call`）
-
-发布契约：
-
-- 插件 `package.json` 必须包含带有一个或多个入口文件的 `openclaw.extensions`。
-- 入口文件可以是 `.js` 或 `.ts`（jiti 在运行时加载 TS）。
-- `openclaw plugins install <npm-spec>` 使用 `npm pack`，提取到 `~/.openclaw/extensions/<id>/`，并在配置中启用它。
-- 配置键稳定性：作用域包被规范化为 `plugins.entries.*` 的**无作用域** id。
-
-## 示例插件：Voice Call
-
-本仓库包含一个语音通话插件（Twilio 或 log 回退）：
-
-- 源码：`extensions/voice-call`
-- Skills：`skills/voice-call`
-- CLI：`openclaw voicecall start|status`
-- 工具：`voice_call`
-- RPC：`voicecall.start`、`voicecall.status`
-- 配置（twilio）：`provider: "twilio"` + `twilio.accountSid/authToken/from`（可选 `statusCallbackUrl`、`twimlUrl`）
-- 配置（dev）：`provider: "log"`（无网络）
-
-参见 [Voice Call](/plugins/voice-call) 和 `extensions/voice-call/README.md` 了解设置和用法。
-
-## 安全注意事项
-
-插件与 Gateway 网关在同一进程中运行。将它们视为受信任的代码：
-
-- 只安装你信任的插件。
-- 优先使用 `plugins.allow` 允许列表。
-- 更改后重启 Gateway 网关。
-
-## 测试插件
-
-插件可以（也应该）附带测试：
-
-- 仓库内插件可以在 `src/**` 下保留 Vitest 测试（例如：`src/plugins/voice-call.plugin.test.ts`）。
-- 单独发布的插件应运行自己的 CI（lint/构建/测试）并验证 `openclaw.extensions` 指向构建的入口点（`dist/index.js`）。

+
+# Amazon Bedrock
+
+OpenClaw 可以通过 pi‑ai 的 **Bedrock Converse** 流式提供商使用 **Amazon Bedrock** 模型。Bedrock 认证使用 **AWS SDK 默认凭证链**，而非 API 密钥。
+
+## pi‑ai 支持的功能
+
+- 提供商：`amazon-bedrock`
+- API：`bedrock-converse-stream`
+- 认证：AWS 凭证（环境变量、共享配置或实例角色）
+- 区域：`AWS_REGION` 或 `AWS_DEFAULT_REGION`（默认：`us-east-1`）
+
+## 自动模型发现
+
+如果检测到 AWS 凭证，OpenClaw 可以自动发现支持**流式传输**和**文本输出**的 Bedrock 模型。发现功能使用 `bedrock:ListFoundationModels`，并会被缓存（默认：1 小时）。
+
+配置选项位于 `models.bedrockDiscovery` 下：
+
+```json5
+{
+  models: {
+    bedrockDiscovery: {
+      enabled: true,
+      region: "us-east-1",
+      providerFilter: ["anthropic", "amazon"],
+      refreshInterval: 3600,
+      defaultContextWindow: 32000,
+      defaultMaxTokens: 4096,
+    },
+  },
+}
+```
+
+注意事项：
+
+- `enabled` 在存在 AWS 凭证时默认为 `true`。
+- `region` 默认为 `AWS_REGION` 或 `AWS_DEFAULT_REGION`，然后是 `us-east-1`。
+- `providerFilter` 匹配 Bedrock 提供商名称（例如 `anthropic`）。
+- `refreshInterval` 单位为秒；设置为 `0` 可禁用缓存。
+- `defaultContextWindow`（默认：`32000`）和 `defaultMaxTokens`（默认：`4096`）用于已发现的模型（如果你知道模型限制，可以覆盖这些值）。
+
+## 设置（手动）
+
+1. 确保 AWS 凭证在 **Gateway 网关主机**上可用：
+
+```bash
+export AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID="AKIA..."
+export AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY="..."
+export AWS_REGION="us-east-1"
+# 可选：
+export AWS_SESSION_TOKEN="..."
+export AWS_PROFILE="your-profile"
+# 可选（Bedrock API 密钥/Bearer 令牌）：
+export AWS_BEARER_TOKEN_BEDROCK="..."
+```
+
+2. 在配置中添加 Bedrock 提供商和模型（无需 `apiKey`）：
+
+```json5
+{
+  models: {
+    providers: {
+      "amazon-bedrock": {
+        baseUrl: "https://bedrock-runtime.us-east-1.amazonaws.com",
+        api: "bedrock-converse-stream",
+        auth: "aws-sdk",
+        models: [
+          {
+            id: "anthropic.claude-opus-4-5-20251101-v1:0",
+            name: "Claude Opus 4.5 (Bedrock)",
+            reasoning: true,
+            input: ["text", "image"],
+            cost: { input: 0, output: 0, cacheRead: 0, cacheWrite: 0 },
+            contextWindow: 200000,
+            maxTokens: 8192,
+          },
+        ],
+      },
+    },
+  },
+  agents: {
+    defaults: {
+      model: { primary: "amazon-bedrock/anthropic.claude-opus-4-5-20251101-v1:0" },
+    },
+  },
+}
+```
+
+## EC2 实例角色
+
+当在附加了 IAM 角色的 EC2 实例上运行 OpenClaw 时，AWS SDK 会自动使用实例元数据服务（IMDS）进行认证。但是，OpenClaw 的凭证检测目前只检查环境变量，不检查 IMDS 凭证。
+
+**解决方法：** 设置 `AWS_PROFILE=default` 以表明 AWS 凭证可用。实际认证仍然通过 IMDS 使用实例角色。
+
+```bash
+# 添加到 ~/.bashrc 或你的 shell 配置文件
+export AWS_PROFILE=default
+export AWS_REGION=us-east-1
+```
+
+EC2 实例角色**所需的 IAM 权限**：
+
+- `bedrock:InvokeModel`
+- `bedrock:InvokeModelWithResponseStream`
+- `bedrock:ListFoundationModels`（用于自动发现）
+
+或者附加托管策略 `AmazonBedrockFullAccess`。
+
+**快速设置：**
+
+```bash
+# 1. 创建 IAM 角色和实例配置文件
+aws iam create-role --role-name EC2-Bedrock-Access \
+  --assume-role-policy-document '{
+    "Version": "2012-10-17",
+    "Statement": [{
+      "Effect": "Allow",
+      "Principal": {"Service": "ec2.amazonaws.com"},
+      "Action": "sts:AssumeRole"
+    }]
+  }'
+
+aws iam attach-role-policy --role-name EC2-Bedrock-Access \
+  --policy-arn arn:aws:iam::aws:policy/AmazonBedrockFullAccess
+
+aws iam create-instance-profile --instance-profile-name EC2-Bedrock-Access
+aws iam add-role-to-instance-profile \
+  --instance-profile-name EC2-Bedrock-Access \
+  --role-name EC2-Bedrock-Access
+
+# 2. 附加到你的 EC2 实例
+aws ec2 associate-iam-instance-profile \
+  --instance-id i-xxxxx \
+  --iam-instance-profile Name=EC2-Bedrock-Access
+
+# 3. 在 EC2 实例上启用发现功能
+openclaw config set models.bedrockDiscovery.enabled true
+openclaw config set models.bedrockDiscovery.region us-east-1
+
+# 4. 设置解决方法所需的环境变量
+echo 'export AWS_PROFILE=default' >> ~/.bashrc
+echo 'export AWS_REGION=us-east-1' >> ~/.bashrc
+source ~/.bashrc
+
+# 5. 验证模型已被发现
+openclaw models list
+```
+
+## 注意事项
+
+- Bedrock 需要在你的 AWS 账户/区域中启用**模型访问**。
+- 自动发现需要 `bedrock:ListFoundationModels` 权限。
+- 如果你使用配置文件，请在 Gateway 网关主机上设置 `AWS_PROFILE`。
+- OpenClaw 按以下顺序获取凭证来源：`AWS_BEARER_TOKEN_BEDROCK`，然后是 `AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID` + `AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY`，然后是 `AWS_PROFILE`，最后是默认的 AWS SDK 链。
+- 推理支持取决于模型；请查看 Bedrock 模型卡了解当前功能。
+- 如果你更喜欢托管密钥流程，也可以在 Bedrock 前面放置一个 OpenAI 兼容的代理，并将其配置为 OpenAI 提供商。

+
+# Token 使用与成本
+
+OpenClaw 跟踪的是 **token**，而不是字符。Token 是模型特定的，但大多数
+OpenAI 风格的模型对于英文文本平均约 4 个字符为一个 token。
+
+## 系统提示词如何构建
+
+OpenClaw 在每次运行时组装自己的系统提示词。它包括：
+
+- 工具列表 + 简短描述
+- Skills 列表（仅元数据；指令通过 `read` 按需加载）
+- 自我更新指令
+- 工作区 + 引导文件（`AGENTS.md`、`SOUL.md`、`TOOLS.md`、`IDENTITY.md`、`USER.md`、`HEARTBEAT.md`、`BOOTSTRAP.md`（新建时））。大文件会被 `agents.defaults.bootstrapMaxChars`（默认：20000）截断。
+- 时间（UTC + 用户时区）
+- 回复标签 + 心跳行为
+- 运行时元数据（主机/操作系统/模型/思考）
+
+完整分解参见[系统提示词](/concepts/system-prompt)。
+
+## 什么算入上下文窗口
+
+模型接收的所有内容都计入上下文限制：
+
+- 系统提示词（上面列出的所有部分）
+- 对话历史（用户 + 助手消息）
+- 工具调用和工具结果
+- 附件/转录（图片、音频、文件）
+- 压缩摘要和修剪产物
+- 提供商包装或安全头（不可见，但仍计数）
+
+有关实际分解（每个注入文件、工具、Skills 和系统提示词大小），使用 `/context list` 或 `/context detail`。参见[上下文](/concepts/context)。
+
+## 如何查看当前 token 使用量
+
+在聊天中使用：
+
+- `/status` → 带有会话模型、上下文使用量、
+  最后响应输入/输出 token 和**预估成本**（仅 API 密钥）的 **emoji 丰富的状态卡片**。
+- `/usage off|tokens|full` → 在每个回复后附加**每响应使用量页脚**。
+  - 每会话持久化（存储为 `responseUsage`）。
+  - OAuth 认证**隐藏成本**（仅 token）。
+- `/usage cost` → 从 OpenClaw 会话日志显示本地成本摘要。
+
+其他界面：
+
+- **TUI/Web TUI：** 支持 `/status` + `/usage`。
+- **CLI：** `openclaw status --usage` 和 `openclaw channels list` 显示
+  提供商配额窗口（不是每响应成本）。
+
+## 成本估算（显示时）
+
+成本从你的模型定价配置估算：
+
+```
+models.providers.<provider>.models[].cost
+```
+
+这些是 `input`、`output`、`cacheRead` 和
+`cacheWrite` 的**每 1M token 美元**。如果缺少定价，OpenClaw 仅显示 token。OAuth 令牌
+永远不显示美元成本。
+
+## 缓存 TTL 和修剪影响
+
+提供商提示缓存仅在缓存 TTL 窗口内适用。OpenClaw 可以
+选择性地运行**缓存 TTL 修剪**：它在缓存 TTL
+过期后修剪会话，然后重置缓存窗口，以便后续请求可以重用
+新缓存的上下文，而不是重新缓存完整历史。这在会话空闲超过 TTL 时
+可以降低缓存写入成本。
+
+在 [Gateway 网关配置](/gateway/configuration) 中配置它，并在
+[会话修剪](/concepts/session-pruning) 中查看行为详情。
+
+心跳可以在空闲间隙中保持缓存**热**。如果你的模型缓存 TTL
+是 `1h`，将心跳间隔设置为略低于此（例如 `55m`）可以避免
+重新缓存完整提示，从而降低缓存写入成本。
+
+有关 Anthropic API 定价，缓存读取比输入
+token 便宜得多，而缓存写入以更高的倍率计费。参见 Anthropic 的
+提示缓存定价了解最新费率和 TTL 倍率：
+https://docs.anthropic.com/docs/build-with-claude/prompt-caching
+
+### 示例：用心跳保持 1 小时缓存热
+
+```yaml
+agents:
+  defaults:
+    model:
+      primary: "anthropic/claude-opus-4-5"
+    models:
+      "anthropic/claude-opus-4-5":
+        params:
+          cacheRetention: "long"
+    heartbeat:
+      every: "55m"
+```
+
+## 减少 token 压力的技巧
+
+- 使用 `/compact` 来总结长会话。
+- 在你的工作流中修剪大的工具输出。
+- 保持 skill 描述简短（skill 列表会注入到提示中）。
+- 对于冗长的探索性工作，优先使用较小的模型。
+
+精确的 skill 列表开销公式参见 [Skills](/tools/skills)。

-# 配对
-
-"配对"是 OpenClaw 的显式**所有者批准**步骤。它用于两个地方：
-
-1. **私信配对**（谁被允许与机器人对话）
-2. **节点配对**（哪些设备/节点被允许加入 Gateway 网关网络）
-
-安全上下文：[安全](/gateway/security)
-
-## 1）私信配对（入站聊天访问）
-
-当渠道配置为私信策略 `pairing` 时，未知发送者会收到一个短代码，他们的消息**不会被处理**，直到你批准。
-
-默认私信策略记录在：[安全](/gateway/security)
-
-配对代码：
-
-- 8 个字符，大写，无歧义字符（`0O1I`）。
-- **1 小时后过期**。机器人仅在创建新请求时发送配对消息（大约每个发送者每小时一次）。
-- 待处理的私信配对请求默认上限为**每个渠道 3 个**；在一个过期或被批准之前，额外的请求将被忽略。
-
-### 批准发送者
-
-```bash
-openclaw pairing list telegram
-openclaw pairing approve telegram <CODE>
-```
-
-支持的渠道：`telegram`、`whatsapp`、`signal`、`imessage`、`discord`、`slack`。
-
-### 状态存储位置
-
-存储在 `~/.openclaw/credentials/` 下：
-
-- 待处理请求：`<channel>-pairing.json`
-- 已批准允许列表存储：`<channel>-allowFrom.json`
-
-将这些视为敏感信息（它们控制对你助手的访问）。
-
-## 2）节点设备配对（iOS/Android/macOS/无头节点）
-
-节点作为 `role: node` 的**设备**连接到 Gateway 网关。Gateway 网关创建一个必须被批准的设备配对请求。
-
-### 批准节点设备
-
-```bash
-openclaw devices list
-openclaw devices approve <requestId>
-openclaw devices reject <requestId>
-```
-
-### 状态存储位置
-
-存储在 `~/.openclaw/devices/` 下：
-
-- `pending.json`（短期；待处理请求会过期）
-- `paired.json`（已配对设备 + 令牌）
-
-### 说明
-
-- 旧版 `node.pair.*` API（CLI：`openclaw nodes pending/approve`）是一个单独的 Gateway 网关拥有的配对存储。WS 节点仍然需要设备配对。

-
-OpenClaw 包含三个 Vitest 测试套件（单元/集成、端到端、实时）以及一小组 Docker 运行器。
-
-本文档是一份"我们如何测试"的指南：
-
-- 每个套件覆盖什么（以及它刻意*不*覆盖什么）
-- 常见工作流程应运行哪些命令（本地、推送前、调试）
-- 实时测试如何发现凭证并选择模型/提供商
-- 如何为现实中的模型/提供商问题添加回归测试
-
-## 快速开始
-
-日常使用：
-
-- 完整检查（推送前的预期流程）：`pnpm build && pnpm check && pnpm test`
-
-当你修改测试或需要额外的信心时：
-
-- 覆盖率检查：`pnpm test:coverage`
-- 端到端套件：`pnpm test:e2e`
-
-调试真实提供商/模型时（需要真实凭证）：
-
-- 实时套件（模型 + Gateway 网关工具/图像探测）：`pnpm test:live`
-
-提示：当你只需要一个失败用例时，建议使用下文描述的允许列表环境变量来缩小实时测试范围。
-
-## 测试套件（在哪里运行什么）
-
-可以将这些套件理解为"逐渐增强的真实性"（以及逐渐增加的不稳定性/成本）：
-
-### 单元/集成测试（默认）
-
-- 命令：`pnpm test`
-- 配置：`vitest.config.ts`
-- 文件：`src/**/*.test.ts`
-- 范围：
-  - 纯单元测试
-  - 进程内集成测试（Gateway 网关认证、路由、工具、解析、配置）
-  - 已知问题的确定性回归测试
-- 预期：
-  - 在 CI 中运行
-  - 不需要真实密钥
-  - 应该快速且稳定
-
-### 端到端测试（Gateway 网关冒烟测试）
-
-- 命令：`pnpm test:e2e`
-- 配置：`vitest.e2e.config.ts`
-- 文件：`src/**/*.e2e.test.ts`
-- 范围：
-  - 多实例 Gateway 网关端到端行为
-  - WebSocket/HTTP 接口、节点配对和较重的网络操作
-- 预期：
-  - 在 CI 中运行（当在流水线中启用时）
-  - 不需要真实密钥
-  - 比单元测试有更多活动部件（可能较慢）
-
-### 实时测试（真实提供商 + 真实模型）
-
-- 命令：`pnpm test:live`
-- 配置：`vitest.live.config.ts`
-- 文件：`src/**/*.live.test.ts`
-- 默认：通过 `pnpm test:live` **启用**（设置 `OPENCLAW_LIVE_TEST=1`）
-- 范围：
-  - "这个提供商/模型用真实凭证*今天*实际能工作吗？"
-  - 捕获提供商格式变更、工具调用怪癖、认证问题和速率限制行为
-- 预期：
-  - 设计上不适合 CI 稳定运行（真实网络、真实提供商策略、配额、故障）
-  - 花费金钱/使用速率限制
-  - 建议运行缩小范围的子集而非"全部"
-  - 实时运行会加载 `~/.profile` 以获取缺失的 API 密钥
-  - Anthropic 密钥轮换：设置 `OPENCLAW_LIVE_ANTHROPIC_KEYS="sk-...,sk-..."`（或 `OPENCLAW_LIVE_ANTHROPIC_KEY=sk-...`）或多个 `ANTHROPIC_API_KEY*` 变量；测试会在遇到速率限制时重试
-
-## 我应该运行哪个套件？
-
-使用这个决策表：
-
-- 编辑逻辑/测试：运行 `pnpm test`（如果改动较大，加上 `pnpm test:coverage`）
-- 涉及 Gateway 网关网络/WS 协议/配对：加上 `pnpm test:e2e`
-- 调试"我的机器人挂了"/提供商特定故障/工具调用：运行缩小范围的 `pnpm test:live`
-
-## 实时测试：模型冒烟测试（配置文件密钥）
-
-实时测试分为两层，以便隔离故障：
-
-- "直接模型"告诉我们提供商/模型是否能用给定的密钥正常响应。
-- "Gateway 网关冒烟测试"告诉我们完整的 Gateway 网关 + 智能体管道是否对该模型正常工作（会话、历史记录、工具、沙箱策略等）。
-
-### 第一层：直接模型补全（无 Gateway 网关）
-
-- 测试：`src/agents/models.profiles.live.test.ts`
-- 目标：
-  - 枚举发现的模型
-  - 使用 `getApiKeyForModel` 选择你有凭证的模型
-  - 每个模型运行一个小型补全（以及需要时的针对性回归测试）
-- 如何启用：
-  - `pnpm test:live`（或直接调用 Vitest 时使用 `OPENCLAW_LIVE_TEST=1`）
-- 设置 `OPENCLAW_LIVE_MODELS=modern`（或 `all`，modern 的别名）以实际运行此套件；否则会跳过以保持 `pnpm test:live` 专注于 Gateway 网关冒烟测试
-- 如何选择模型：
-  - `OPENCLAW_LIVE_MODELS=modern` 运行现代允许列表（Opus/Sonnet/Haiku 4.5、GPT-5.x + Codex、Gemini 3、GLM 4.7、MiniMax M2.1、Grok 4）
-  - `OPENCLAW_LIVE_MODELS=all` 是现代允许列表的别名
-  - 或 `OPENCLAW_LIVE_MODELS="openai/gpt-5.2,anthropic/claude-opus-4-5,..."`（逗号分隔的允许列表）
-- 如何选择提供商：
-  - `OPENCLAW_LIVE_PROVIDERS="google,google-antigravity,google-gemini-cli"`（逗号分隔的允许列表）
-- 密钥来源：
-  - 默认：配置文件存储和环境变量回退
-  - 设置 `OPENCLAW_LIVE_REQUIRE_PROFILE_KEYS=1` 以强制**仅使用配置文件存储**
-- 为什么存在这个测试：
-  - 将"提供商 API 损坏/密钥无效"与"Gateway 网关智能体管道损坏"分离
-  - 包含小型、隔离的回归测试（例如：OpenAI Responses/Codex Responses 推理重放 + 工具调用流程）
-
-### 第二层：Gateway 网关 + 开发智能体冒烟测试（"@openclaw"实际做的事）
-
-- 测试：`src/gateway/gateway-models.profiles.live.test.ts`
-- 目标：
-  - 启动一个进程内 Gateway 网关
-  - 创建/修补一个 `agent:dev:*` 会话（每次运行覆盖模型）
-  - 遍历有密钥的模型并断言：
-    - "有意义的"响应（无工具）
-    - 真实的工具调用工作正常（读取探测）
-    - 可选的额外工具探测（执行+读取探测）
-    - OpenAI 回归路径（仅工具调用 → 后续）保持工作
-- 探测详情（以便你能快速解释故障）：
-  - `read` 探测：测试在工作区写入一个随机数文件，要求智能体 `read` 它并回显随机数。
-  - `exec+read` 探测：测试要求智能体 `exec` 将随机数写入临时文件，然后 `read` 回来。
-  - 图像探测：测试附加一个生成的 PNG（猫 + 随机代码），期望模型返回 `cat <CODE>`。
-  - 实现参考：`src/gateway/gateway-models.profiles.live.test.ts` 和 `src/gateway/live-image-probe.ts`。
-- 如何启用：
-  - `pnpm test:live`（或直接调用 Vitest 时使用 `OPENCLAW_LIVE_TEST=1`）
-- 如何选择模型：
-  - 默认：现代允许列表（Opus/Sonnet/Haiku 4.5、GPT-5.x + Codex、Gemini 3、GLM 4.7、MiniMax M2.1、Grok 4）
-  - `OPENCLAW_LIVE_GATEWAY_MODELS=all` 是现代允许列表的别名
-  - 或设置 `OPENCLAW_LIVE_GATEWAY_MODELS="provider/model"`（或逗号分隔列表）来缩小范围
-- 如何选择提供商（避免"OpenRouter 全部"）：
-  - `OPENCLAW_LIVE_GATEWAY_PROVIDERS="google,google-antigravity,google-gemini-cli,openai,anthropic,zai,minimax"`（逗号分隔的允许列表）
-- 工具 + 图像探测在此实时测试中始终开启：
-  - `read` 探测 + `exec+read` 探测（工具压力测试）
-  - 当模型声明支持图像输入时运行图像探测
-  - 流程（高层次）：
-    - 测试生成一个带有"CAT"+ 随机代码的小型 PNG（`src/gateway/live-image-probe.ts`）
-    - 通过 `agent` `attachments: [{ mimeType: "image/png", content: "<base64>" }]` 发送
-    - Gateway 网关将附件解析为 `images[]`（`src/gateway/server-methods/agent.ts` + `src/gateway/chat-attachments.ts`）
-    - 嵌入式智能体将多模态用户消息转发给模型
-    - 断言：回复包含 `cat` + 代码（OCR 容差：允许轻微错误）
-
-提示：要查看你的机器上可以测试什么（以及确切的 `provider/model` ID），运行：
-
-```bash
-openclaw models list
-openclaw models list --json
-```
-
-## 实时测试：Anthropic 设置令牌冒烟测试
-
-- 测试：`src/agents/anthropic.setup-token.live.test.ts`
-- 目标：验证 Claude Code CLI 设置令牌（或粘贴的设置令牌配置文件）能完成 Anthropic 提示。
-- 启用：
-  - `pnpm test:live`（或直接调用 Vitest 时使用 `OPENCLAW_LIVE_TEST=1`）
-  - `OPENCLAW_LIVE_SETUP_TOKEN=1`
-- 令牌来源（选择一个）：
-  - 配置文件：`OPENCLAW_LIVE_SETUP_TOKEN_PROFILE=anthropic:setup-token-test`
-  - 原始令牌：`OPENCLAW_LIVE_SETUP_TOKEN_VALUE=sk-ant-oat01-...`
-- 模型覆盖（可选）：
-  - `OPENCLAW_LIVE_SETUP_TOKEN_MODEL=anthropic/claude-opus-4-5`
-
-设置示例：
-
-```bash
-openclaw models auth paste-token --provider anthropic --profile-id anthropic:setup-token-test
-OPENCLAW_LIVE_SETUP_TOKEN=1 OPENCLAW_LIVE_SETUP_TOKEN_PROFILE=anthropic:setup-token-test pnpm test:live src/agents/anthropic.setup-token.live.test.ts
-```
-
-## 实时测试：CLI 后端冒烟测试（Claude Code CLI 或其他本地 CLI）
-
-- 测试：`src/gateway/gateway-cli-backend.live.test.ts`
-- 目标：使用本地 CLI 后端验证 Gateway 网关 + 智能体管道，而不影响你的默认配置。
-- 启用：
-  - `pnpm test:live`（或直接调用 Vitest 时使用 `OPENCLAW_LIVE_TEST=1`）
-  - `OPENCLAW_LIVE_CLI_BACKEND=1`
-- 默认值：
-  - 模型：`claude-cli/claude-sonnet-4-5`
-  - 命令：`claude`
-  - 参数：`["-p","--output-format","json","--dangerously-skip-permissions"]`
-- 覆盖（可选）：
-  - `OPENCLAW_LIVE_CLI_BACKEND_MODEL="claude-cli/claude-opus-4-5"`
-  - `OPENCLAW_LIVE_CLI_BACKEND_MODEL="codex-cli/gpt-5.2-codex"`
-  - `OPENCLAW_LIVE_CLI_BACKEND_COMMAND="/full/path/to/claude"`
-  - `OPENCLAW_LIVE_CLI_BACKEND_ARGS='["-p","--output-format","json","--permission-mode","bypassPermissions"]'`
-  - `OPENCLAW_LIVE_CLI_BACKEND_CLEAR_ENV='["ANTHROPIC_API_KEY","ANTHROPIC_API_KEY_OLD"]'`
-  - `OPENCLAW_LIVE_CLI_BACKEND_IMAGE_PROBE=1` 发送真实图像附件（路径注入到提示中）。
-  - `OPENCLAW_LIVE_CLI_BACKEND_IMAGE_ARG="--image"` 将图像文件路径作为 CLI 参数传递而非提示注入。
-  - `OPENCLAW_LIVE_CLI_BACKEND_IMAGE_MODE="repeat"`（或 `"list"`）控制设置 `IMAGE_ARG` 时如何传递图像参数。
-  - `OPENCLAW_LIVE_CLI_BACKEND_RESUME_PROBE=1` 发送第二轮并验证恢复流程。
-- `OPENCLAW_LIVE_CLI_BACKEND_DISABLE_MCP_CONFIG=0` 保持 Claude Code CLI MCP 配置启用（默认使用临时空文件禁用 MCP 配置）。
-
-示例：
-
-```bash
-OPENCLAW_LIVE_CLI_BACKEND=1 \
-  OPENCLAW_LIVE_CLI_BACKEND_MODEL="claude-cli/claude-sonnet-4-5" \
-  pnpm test:live src/gateway/gateway-cli-backend.live.test.ts
-```
-
-### 推荐的实时测试配方
-
-缩小范围的显式允许列表最快且最不易出错：
-
-- 单个模型，直接测试（无 Gateway 网关）：
-  - `OPENCLAW_LIVE_MODELS="openai/gpt-5.2" pnpm test:live src/agents/models.profiles.live.test.ts`
-
-- 单个模型，Gateway 网关冒烟测试：
-  - `OPENCLAW_LIVE_GATEWAY_MODELS="openai/gpt-5.2" pnpm test:live src/gateway/gateway-models.profiles.live.test.ts`
-
-- 跨多个提供商的工具调用：
-  - `OPENCLAW_LIVE_GATEWAY_MODELS="openai/gpt-5.2,anthropic/claude-opus-4-5,google/gemini-3-flash-preview,zai/glm-4.7,minimax/minimax-m2.1" pnpm test:live src/gateway/gateway-models.profiles.live.test.ts`
-
-- Google 专项（Gemini API 密钥 + Antigravity）：
-  - Gemini（API 密钥）：`OPENCLAW_LIVE_GATEWAY_MODELS="google/gemini-3-flash-preview" pnpm test:live src/gateway/gateway-models.profiles.live.test.ts`
-  - Antigravity（OAuth）：`OPENCLAW_LIVE_GATEWAY_MODELS="google-antigravity/claude-opus-4-5-thinking,google-antigravity/gemini-3-pro-high" pnpm test:live src/gateway/gateway-models.profiles.live.test.ts`
-
-注意：
-
-- `google/...` 使用 Gemini API（API 密钥）。
-- `google-antigravity/...` 使用 Antigravity OAuth 桥接（Cloud Code Assist 风格的智能体端点）。
-- `google-gemini-cli/...` 使用你机器上的本地 Gemini CLI（独立的认证 + 工具怪癖）。
-- Gemini API 与 Gemini CLI：
-  - API：OpenClaw 通过 HTTP 调用 Google 托管的 Gemini API（API 密钥/配置文件认证）；这是大多数用户说的"Gemini"。
-  - CLI：OpenClaw 调用本地 `gemini` 二进制文件；它有自己的认证，行为可能不同（流式传输/工具支持/版本差异）。
-
-## 实时测试：模型矩阵（我们覆盖什么）
-
-没有固定的"CI 模型列表"（实时测试是可选的），但这些是建议在有密钥的开发机器上定期覆盖的**推荐**模型。
-
-### 现代冒烟测试集（工具调用 + 图像）
-
-这是我们期望保持工作的"常用模型"运行：
-
-- OpenAI（非 Codex）：`openai/gpt-5.2`（可选：`openai/gpt-5.1`）
-- OpenAI Codex：`openai-codex/gpt-5.2`（可选：`openai-codex/gpt-5.2-codex`）
-- Anthropic：`anthropic/claude-opus-4-5`（或 `anthropic/claude-sonnet-4-5`）
-- Google（Gemini API）：`google/gemini-3-pro-preview` 和 `google/gemini-3-flash-preview`（避免较旧的 Gemini 2.x 模型）
-- Google（Antigravity）：`google-antigravity/claude-opus-4-5-thinking` 和 `google-antigravity/gemini-3-flash`
-- Z.AI（GLM）：`zai/glm-4.7`
-- MiniMax：`minimax/minimax-m2.1`
-
-运行带工具 + 图像的 Gateway 网关冒烟测试：
-`OPENCLAW_LIVE_GATEWAY_MODELS="openai/gpt-5.2,openai-codex/gpt-5.2,anthropic/claude-opus-4-5,google/gemini-3-pro-preview,google/gemini-3-flash-preview,google-antigravity/claude-opus-4-5-thinking,google-antigravity/gemini-3-flash,zai/glm-4.7,minimax/minimax-m2.1" pnpm test:live src/gateway/gateway-models.profiles.live.test.ts`
-
-### 基线：工具调用（Read + 可选 Exec）
-
-每个提供商系列至少选择一个：
-
-- OpenAI：`openai/gpt-5.2`（或 `openai/gpt-5-mini`）
-- Anthropic：`anthropic/claude-opus-4-5`（或 `anthropic/claude-sonnet-4-5`）
-- Google：`google/gemini-3-flash-preview`（或 `google/gemini-3-pro-preview`）
-- Z.AI（GLM）：`zai/glm-4.7`
-- MiniMax：`minimax/minimax-m2.1`
-
-可选的额外覆盖（锦上添花）：
-
-- xAI：`xai/grok-4`（或最新可用版本）
-- Mistral：`mistral/`…（选择一个你已启用的"工具"能力模型）
-- Cerebras：`cerebras/`…（如果你有访问权限）
-- LM Studio：`lmstudio/`…（本地；工具调用取决于 API 模式）
-
-### 视觉：图像发送（附件 → 多模态消息）
-
-在 `OPENCLAW_LIVE_GATEWAY_MODELS` 中至少包含一个支持图像的模型（Claude/Gemini/OpenAI 视觉能力变体等）以测试图像探测。
-
-### 聚合器/替代 Gateway 网关
-
-如果你启用了密钥，我们也支持通过以下方式测试：
-
-- OpenRouter：`openrouter/...`（数百个模型；使用 `openclaw models scan` 查找支持工具+图像的候选模型）
-- OpenCode Zen：`opencode/...`（通过 `OPENCODE_API_KEY` / `OPENCODE_ZEN_API_KEY` 认证）
-
-如果你有凭证/配置，可以在实时矩阵中包含更多提供商：
-
-- 内置：`openai`、`openai-codex`、`anthropic`、`google`、`google-vertex`、`google-antigravity`、`google-gemini-cli`、`zai`、`openrouter`、`opencode`、`xai`、`groq`、`cerebras`、`mistral`、`github-copilot`
-- 通过 `models.providers`（自定义端点）：`minimax`（云/API），以及任何 OpenAI/Anthropic 兼容代理（LM Studio、vLLM、LiteLLM 等）
-
-提示：不要试图在文档中硬编码"所有模型"。权威列表是你机器上 `discoverModels(...)` 返回的内容 + 可用的密钥。
-
-## 凭证（绝不提交）
-
-实时测试以与 CLI 相同的方式发现凭证。实际含义：
-
-- 如果 CLI 能工作，实时测试应该能找到相同的密钥。
-- 如果实时测试说"无凭证"，用调试 `openclaw models list`/模型选择相同的方式调试。
-
-- 配置文件存储：`~/.openclaw/credentials/`（首选；测试中"配置文件密钥"的含义）
-- 配置：`~/.openclaw/openclaw.json`（或 `OPENCLAW_CONFIG_PATH`）
-
-如果你想依赖环境变量密钥（例如在 `~/.profile` 中导出的），在 `source ~/.profile` 后运行本地测试，或使用下面的 Docker 运行器（它们可以将 `~/.profile` 挂载到容器中）。
-
-## Deepgram 实时测试（音频转录）
-
-- 测试：`src/media-understanding/providers/deepgram/audio.live.test.ts`
-- 启用：`DEEPGRAM_API_KEY=... DEEPGRAM_LIVE_TEST=1 pnpm test:live src/media-understanding/providers/deepgram/audio.live.test.ts`
-
-## Docker 运行器（可选的"在 Linux 中工作"检查）
-
-这些在仓库 Docker 镜像内运行 `pnpm test:live`，挂载你的本地配置目录和工作区（如果挂载了 `~/.profile` 则会加载它）：
-
-- 直接模型：`pnpm test:docker:live-models`（脚本：`scripts/test-live-models-docker.sh`）
-- Gateway 网关 + 开发智能体：`pnpm test:docker:live-gateway`（脚本：`scripts/test-live-gateway-models-docker.sh`）
-- 新手引导向导（TTY，完整脚手架）：`pnpm test:docker:onboard`（脚本：`scripts/e2e/onboard-docker.sh`）
-- Gateway 网关网络（两个容器，WS 认证 + 健康检查）：`pnpm test:docker:gateway-network`（脚本：`scripts/e2e/gateway-network-docker.sh`）
-- 插件（自定义扩展加载 + 注册表冒烟测试）：`pnpm test:docker:plugins`（脚本：`scripts/e2e/plugins-docker.sh`）
-
-有用的环境变量：
-
-- `OPENCLAW_CONFIG_DIR=...`（默认：`~/.openclaw`）挂载到 `/home/node/.openclaw`
-- `OPENCLAW_WORKSPACE_DIR=...`（默认：`~/.openclaw/workspace`）挂载到 `/home/node/.openclaw/workspace`
-- `OPENCLAW_PROFILE_FILE=...`（默认：`~/.profile`）挂载到 `/home/node/.profile` 并在运行测试前加载
-- `OPENCLAW_LIVE_GATEWAY_MODELS=...` / `OPENCLAW_LIVE_MODELS=...` 用于缩小运行范围
-- `OPENCLAW_LIVE_REQUIRE_PROFILE_KEYS=1` 确保凭证来自配置文件存储（而非环境变量）
-
-## 文档完整性检查
-
-文档编辑后运行文档检查：`pnpm docs:list`。
-
-## 离线回归测试（CI 安全）
-
-这些是没有真实提供商的"真实管道"回归测试：
-
-- Gateway 网关工具调用（模拟 OpenAI，真实 Gateway 网关 + 智能体循环）：`src/gateway/gateway.tool-calling.mock-openai.test.ts`
-- Gateway 网关向导（WS `wizard.start`/`wizard.next`，写入配置 + 强制认证）：`src/gateway/gateway.wizard.e2e.test.ts`
-
-## 智能体可靠性评估（Skills）
-
-我们已经有一些 CI 安全的测试，它们的行为类似于"智能体可靠性评估"：
-
-- 通过真实 Gateway 网关 + 智能体循环的模拟工具调用（`src/gateway/gateway.tool-calling.mock-openai.test.ts`）。
-- 验证会话连接和配置效果的端到端向导流程（`src/gateway/gateway.wizard.e2e.test.ts`）。
-
-对于 Skills 仍然缺少的内容（参见 [Skills](/tools/skills)）：
-
-- **决策：** 当 Skills 在提示中列出时，智能体是否选择正确的 skill（或避免不相关的）？
-- **合规性：** 智能体是否在使用前读取 `SKILL.md` 并遵循所需的步骤/参数？
-- **工作流契约：** 断言工具顺序、会话历史延续和沙箱边界的多轮场景。
-
-未来的评估应该首先保持确定性：
-
-- 使用模拟提供商来断言工具调用 + 顺序、skill 文件读取和会话连接的场景运行器。
-- 一小套专注于 skill 的场景（使用 vs 避免、门控、提示注入）。
-- 可选的实时评估（可选的，环境变量门控），仅在 CI 安全套件就位后。
-
-## 添加回归测试（指导）
-
-当你修复在实时测试中发现的提供商/模型问题时：
-
-- 如果可能，添加 CI 安全的回归测试（模拟/存根提供商，或捕获确切的请求形状转换）
-- 如果它本质上是仅限实时的（速率限制、认证策略），保持实时测试范围小且通过环境变量可选
-- 优先针对能捕获问题的最小层：
-  - 提供商请求转换/重放问题 → 直接模型测试
-  - Gateway 网关会话/历史/工具管道问题 → Gateway 网关实时冒烟测试或 CI 安全的 Gateway 网关模拟测试

-# Token 使用与成本
-
-OpenClaw 跟踪的是 **token**，而不是字符。Token 是模型特定的，但大多数
-OpenAI 风格的模型对于英文文本平均约 4 个字符为一个 token。
-
-## 系统提示词如何构建
-
-OpenClaw 在每次运行时组装自己的系统提示词。它包括：
-
-- 工具列表 + 简短描述
-- Skills 列表（仅元数据；指令通过 `read` 按需加载）
-- 自我更新指令
-- 工作区 + 引导文件（`AGENTS.md`、`SOUL.md`、`TOOLS.md`、`IDENTITY.md`、`USER.md`、`HEARTBEAT.md`、`BOOTSTRAP.md`（新建时））。大文件会被 `agents.defaults.bootstrapMaxChars`（默认：20000）截断。
-- 时间（UTC + 用户时区）
-- 回复标签 + 心跳行为
-- 运行时元数据（主机/操作系统/模型/思考）
-
-完整分解参见[系统提示词](/concepts/system-prompt)。
-
-## 什么算入上下文窗口
-
-模型接收的所有内容都计入上下文限制：
-
-- 系统提示词（上面列出的所有部分）
-- 对话历史（用户 + 助手消息）
-- 工具调用和工具结果
-- 附件/转录（图片、音频、文件）
-- 压缩摘要和修剪产物
-- 提供商包装或安全头（不可见，但仍计数）
-
-有关实际分解（每个注入文件、工具、Skills 和系统提示词大小），使用 `/context list` 或 `/context detail`。参见[上下文](/concepts/context)。
-
-## 如何查看当前 token 使用量
-
-在聊天中使用：
-
-- `/status` → 带有会话模型、上下文使用量、
-  最后响应输入/输出 token 和**预估成本**（仅 API 密钥）的 **emoji 丰富的状态卡片**。
-- `/usage off|tokens|full` → 在每个回复后附加**每响应使用量页脚**。
-  - 每会话持久化（存储为 `responseUsage`）。
-  - OAuth 认证**隐藏成本**（仅 token）。
-- `/usage cost` → 从 OpenClaw 会话日志显示本地成本摘要。
-
-其他界面：
-
-- **TUI/Web TUI：** 支持 `/status` + `/usage`。
-- **CLI：** `openclaw status --usage` 和 `openclaw channels list` 显示
-  提供商配额窗口（不是每响应成本）。
-
-## 成本估算（显示时）
-
-成本从你的模型定价配置估算：
-
-```
-models.providers.<provider>.models[].cost
-```
-
-这些是 `input`、`output`、`cacheRead` 和
-`cacheWrite` 的**每 1M token 美元**。如果缺少定价，OpenClaw 仅显示 token。OAuth 令牌
-永远不显示美元成本。
-
-## 缓存 TTL 和修剪影响
-
-提供商提示缓存仅在缓存 TTL 窗口内适用。OpenClaw 可以
-选择性地运行**缓存 TTL 修剪**：它在缓存 TTL
-过期后修剪会话，然后重置缓存窗口，以便后续请求可以重用
-新缓存的上下文，而不是重新缓存完整历史。这在会话空闲超过 TTL 时
-可以降低缓存写入成本。
-
-在 [Gateway 网关配置](/gateway/configuration) 中配置它，并在
-[会话修剪](/concepts/session-pruning) 中查看行为详情。
-
-心跳可以在空闲间隙中保持缓存**热**。如果你的模型缓存 TTL
-是 `1h`，将心跳间隔设置为略低于此（例如 `55m`）可以避免
-重新缓存完整提示，从而降低缓存写入成本。
-
-有关 Anthropic API 定价，缓存读取比输入
-token 便宜得多，而缓存写入以更高的倍率计费。参见 Anthropic 的
-提示缓存定价了解最新费率和 TTL 倍率：
-https://docs.anthropic.com/docs/build-with-claude/prompt-caching
-
-### 示例：用心跳保持 1 小时缓存热
-
-```yaml
-agents:
-  defaults:
-    model:
-      primary: "anthropic/claude-opus-4-5"
-    models:
-      "anthropic/claude-opus-4-5":
-        params:
-          cacheRetention: "long"
-    heartbeat:
-      every: "55m"
-```
-
-## 减少 token 压力的技巧
-
-- 使用 `/compact` 来总结长会话。
-- 在你的工作流中修剪大的工具输出。
-- 保持 skill 描述简短（skill 列表会注入到提示中）。
-- 对于冗长的探索性工作，优先使用较小的模型。
-
-精确的 skill 列表开销公式参见 [Skills](/tools/skills)。

+# 多智能体沙箱与工具配置
+
+## 概述
+
+多智能体设置中的每个智能体现在可以拥有自己的：
+
+- **沙箱配置**（`agents.list[].sandbox` 覆盖 `agents.defaults.sandbox`）
+- **工具限制**（`tools.allow` / `tools.deny`，以及 `agents.list[].tools`）
+
+这允许你运行具有不同安全配置文件的多个智能体：
+
+- 具有完全访问权限的个人助手
+- 具有受限工具的家庭/工作智能体
+- 在沙箱中运行的面向公众的智能体
+
+`setupCommand` 属于 `sandbox.docker` 下（全局或按智能体），在容器创建时运行一次。
+
+认证是按智能体的：每个智能体从其自己的 `agentDir` 认证存储读取：
+
+```
+~/.openclaw/agents/<agentId>/agent/auth-profiles.json
+```
+
+凭证**不会**在智能体之间共享。切勿在智能体之间重用 `agentDir`。
+如果你想共享凭证，请将 `auth-profiles.json` 复制到其他智能体的 `agentDir` 中。
+
+有关沙箱隔离在运行时的行为，请参见[沙箱隔离](/gateway/sandboxing)。
+有关调试"为什么这被阻止了？"，请参见[沙箱 vs 工具策略 vs 提权](/gateway/sandbox-vs-tool-policy-vs-elevated) 和 `openclaw sandbox explain`。
+

+
+## 配置示例
+
+### 示例 1：个人 + 受限家庭智能体
+
+```json
+{
+  "agents": {
+    "list": [
+      {
+        "id": "main",
+        "default": true,
+        "name": "Personal Assistant",
+        "workspace": "~/.openclaw/workspace",
+        "sandbox": { "mode": "off" }
+      },
+      {
+        "id": "family",
+        "name": "Family Bot",
+        "workspace": "~/.openclaw/workspace-family",
+        "sandbox": {
+          "mode": "all",
+          "scope": "agent"
+        },
+        "tools": {
+          "allow": ["read"],
+          "deny": ["exec", "write", "edit", "apply_patch", "process", "browser"]
+        }
+      }
+    ]
+  },
+  "bindings": [
+    {
+      "agentId": "family",
+      "match": {
+        "provider": "whatsapp",
+        "accountId": "*",
+        "peer": {
+          "kind": "group",
+          "id": "120363424282127706@g.us"
+        }
+      }
+    }
+  ]
+}
+```
+
+**结果：**
+
+- `main` 智能体：在主机上运行，完全工具访问
+- `family` 智能体：在 Docker 中运行（每个智能体一个容器），仅有 `read` 工具
+
+---
+
+### 示例 2：具有共享沙箱的工作智能体
+
+```json
+{
+  "agents": {
+    "list": [
+      {
+        "id": "personal",
+        "workspace": "~/.openclaw/workspace-personal",
+        "sandbox": { "mode": "off" }
+      },
+      {
+        "id": "work",
+        "workspace": "~/.openclaw/workspace-work",
+        "sandbox": {
+          "mode": "all",
+          "scope": "shared",
+          "workspaceRoot": "/tmp/work-sandboxes"
+        },
+        "tools": {
+          "allow": ["read", "write", "apply_patch", "exec"],
+          "deny": ["browser", "gateway", "discord"]
+        }
+      }
+    ]
+  }
+}
+```
+
+---
+
+### 示例 2b：全局编码配置文件 + 仅消息智能体
+
+```json
+{
+  "tools": { "profile": "coding" },
+  "agents": {
+    "list": [
+      {
+        "id": "support",
+        "tools": { "profile": "messaging", "allow": ["slack"] }
+      }
+    ]
+  }
+}
+```
+
+**结果：**
+
+- 默认智能体获得编码工具
+- `support` 智能体仅用于消息（+ Slack 工具）
+
+---
+
+### 示例 3：每个智能体不同的沙箱模式
+
+```json
+{
+  "agents": {
+    "defaults": {
+      "sandbox": {
+        "mode": "non-main", // 全局默认
+        "scope": "session"
+      }
+    },
+    "list": [
+      {
+        "id": "main",
+        "workspace": "~/.openclaw/workspace",
+        "sandbox": {
+          "mode": "off" // 覆盖：main 永不沙箱隔离
+        }
+      },
+      {
+        "id": "public",
+        "workspace": "~/.openclaw/workspace-public",
+        "sandbox": {
+          "mode": "all", // 覆盖：public 始终沙箱隔离
+          "scope": "agent"
+        },
+        "tools": {
+          "allow": ["read"],
+          "deny": ["exec", "write", "edit", "apply_patch"]
+        }
+      }
+    ]
+  }
+}
+```
+
+---
+
+## 配置优先级
+
+当全局（`agents.defaults.*`）和智能体特定（`agents.list[].*`）配置同时存在时：
+
+### 沙箱配置
+
+智能体特定设置覆盖全局：
+
+```
+agents.list[].sandbox.mode > agents.defaults.sandbox.mode
+agents.list[].sandbox.scope > agents.defaults.sandbox.scope
+agents.list[].sandbox.workspaceRoot > agents.defaults.sandbox.workspaceRoot
+agents.list[].sandbox.workspaceAccess > agents.defaults.sandbox.workspaceAccess
+agents.list[].sandbox.docker.* > agents.defaults.sandbox.docker.*
+agents.list[].sandbox.browser.* > agents.defaults.sandbox.browser.*
+agents.list[].sandbox.prune.* > agents.defaults.sandbox.prune.*
+```
+
+**注意事项：**
+
+- `agents.list[].sandbox.{docker,browser,prune}.*` 为该智能体覆盖 `agents.defaults.sandbox.{docker,browser,prune}.*`（当沙箱 scope 解析为 `"shared"` 时忽略）。
+
+### 工具限制
+
+过滤顺序是：
+
+1. **工具配置文件**（`tools.profile` 或 `agents.list[].tools.profile`）
+2. **提供商工具配置文件**（`tools.byProvider[provider].profile` 或 `agents.list[].tools.byProvider[provider].profile`）
+3. **全局工具策略**（`tools.allow` / `tools.deny`）
+4. **提供商工具策略**（`tools.byProvider[provider].allow/deny`）
+5. **智能体特定工具策略**（`agents.list[].tools.allow/deny`）
+6. **智能体提供商策略**（`agents.list[].tools.byProvider[provider].allow/deny`）
+7. **沙箱工具策略**（`tools.sandbox.tools` 或 `agents.list[].tools.sandbox.tools`）
+8. **子智能体工具策略**（`tools.subagents.tools`，如适用）
+
+每个级别可以进一步限制工具，但不能恢复之前级别拒绝的工具。
+如果设置了 `agents.list[].tools.sandbox.tools`，它将替换该智能体的 `tools.sandbox.tools`。
+如果设置了 `agents.list[].tools.profile`，它将覆盖该智能体的 `tools.profile`。
+提供商工具键接受 `provider`（例如 `google-antigravity`）或 `provider/model`（例如 `openai/gpt-5.2`）。
+
+### 工具组（简写）
+
+工具策略（全局、智能体、沙箱）支持 `group:*` 条目，可扩展为多个具体工具：
+
+- `group:runtime`：`exec`、`bash`、`process`
+- `group:fs`：`read`、`write`、`edit`、`apply_patch`
+- `group:sessions`：`sessions_list`、`sessions_history`、`sessions_send`、`sessions_spawn`、`session_status`
+- `group:memory`：`memory_search`、`memory_get`
+- `group:ui`：`browser`、`canvas`
+- `group:automation`：`cron`、`gateway`
+- `group:messaging`：`message`
+- `group:nodes`：`nodes`
+- `group:openclaw`：所有内置 OpenClaw 工具（不包括提供商插件）
+
+### 提权模式
+
+`tools.elevated` 是全局基线（基于发送者的允许列表）。`agents.list[].tools.elevated` 可以为特定智能体进一步限制提权（两者都必须允许）。
+
+缓解模式：
+
+- 为不受信任的智能体拒绝 `exec`（`agents.list[].tools.deny: ["exec"]`）
+- 避免将发送者加入允许列表后路由到受限智能体
+- 如果你只想要沙箱隔离执行，全局禁用提权（`tools.elevated.enabled: false`）
+- 为敏感配置文件按智能体禁用提权（`agents.list[].tools.elevated.enabled: false`）
+
+---
+
+## 从单智能体迁移
+
+**之前（单智能体）：**
+
+```json
+{
+  "agents": {
+    "defaults": {
+      "workspace": "~/.openclaw/workspace",
+      "sandbox": {
+        "mode": "non-main"
+      }
+    }
+  },
+  "tools": {
+    "sandbox": {
+      "tools": {
+        "allow": ["read", "write", "apply_patch", "exec"],
+        "deny": []
+      }
+    }
+  }
+}
+```
+
+**之后（具有不同配置文件的多智能体）：**
+
+```json
+{
+  "agents": {
+    "list": [
+      {
+        "id": "main",
+        "default": true,
+        "workspace": "~/.openclaw/workspace",
+        "sandbox": { "mode": "off" }
+      }
+    ]
+  }
+}
+```
+
+旧版 `agent.*` 配置由 `openclaw doctor` 迁移；今后请优先使用 `agents.defaults` + `agents.list`。
+
+---
+
+## 工具限制示例
+
+### 只读智能体
+
+```json
+{
+  "tools": {
+    "allow": ["read"],
+    "deny": ["exec", "write", "edit", "apply_patch", "process"]
+  }
+}
+```
+
+### 安全执行智能体（无文件修改）
+
+```json
+{
+  "tools": {
+    "allow": ["read", "exec", "process"],
+    "deny": ["write", "edit", "apply_patch", "browser", "gateway"]
+  }
+}
+```
+
+### 仅通信智能体
+
+```json
+{
+  "tools": {
+    "allow": ["sessions_list", "sessions_send", "sessions_history", "session_status"],
+    "deny": ["exec", "write", "edit", "apply_patch", "read", "browser"]
+  }
+}
+```
+
+---
+
+## 常见陷阱："non-main"
+
+`agents.defaults.sandbox.mode: "non-main"` 基于 `session.mainKey`（默认 `"main"`），
+而不是智能体 id。群组/渠道会话始终获得自己的键，因此它们
+被视为非 main 并将被沙箱隔离。如果你希望智能体永不
+沙箱隔离，请设置 `agents.list[].sandbox.mode: "off"`。
+
+---
+
+## 测试
+
+配置多智能体沙箱和工具后：
+
+1. **检查智能体解析：**
+
+   ```exec
+   openclaw agents list --bindings
+   ```
+
+2. **验证沙箱容器：**
+
+   ```exec
+   docker ps --filter "name=openclaw-sbx-"
+   ```
+
+3. **测试工具限制：**
+   - 发送需要受限工具的消息
+   - 验证智能体无法使用被拒绝的工具
+
+4. **监控日志：**
+   ```exec
+   tail -f "${OPENCLAW_STATE_DIR:-$HOME/.openclaw}/logs/gateway.log" | grep -E "routing|sandbox|tools"
+   ```
+
+---
+
+## 故障排除
+
+### 尽管设置了 `mode: "all"` 但智能体未被沙箱隔离
+
+- 检查是否有全局 `agents.defaults.sandbox.mode` 覆盖它
+- 智能体特定配置优先，因此设置 `agents.list[].sandbox.mode: "all"`
+
+### 尽管有拒绝列表但工具仍然可用
+
+- 检查工具过滤顺序：全局 → 智能体 → 沙箱 → 子智能体
+- 每个级别只能进一步限制，不能恢复
+- 通过日志验证：`[tools] filtering tools for agent:${agentId}`
+
+### 容器未按智能体隔离
+
+- 在智能体特定沙箱配置中设置 `scope: "agent"`
+- 默认是 `"session"`，每个会话创建一个容器

+
+# 插件（扩展）
+
+## 快速开始（插件新手？）
+
+插件只是一个**小型代码模块**，用额外功能（命令、工具和 Gateway 网关 RPC）扩展 OpenClaw。
+
+大多数时候，当你想要一个尚未内置到核心 OpenClaw 的功能（或你想将可选功能排除在主安装之外）时，你会使用插件。
+
+快速路径：
+
+1. 查看已加载的内容：
+
+```bash
+openclaw plugins list
+```
+
+2. 安装官方插件（例如：Voice Call）：
+
+```bash
+openclaw plugins install @openclaw/voice-call
+```
+
+3. 重启 Gateway 网关，然后在 `plugins.entries.<id>.config` 下配置。
+
+参见 [Voice Call](/plugins/voice-call) 了解具体的插件示例。
+
+## 可用插件（官方）
+
+- 从 2026.1.15 起 Microsoft Teams 仅作为插件提供；如果使用 Teams，请安装 `@openclaw/msteams`。
+- Memory (Core) — 捆绑的记忆搜索插件（通过 `plugins.slots.memory` 默认启用）
+- Memory (LanceDB) — 捆绑的长期记忆插件（自动召回/捕获；设置 `plugins.slots.memory = "memory-lancedb"`）
+- [Voice Call](/plugins/voice-call) — `@openclaw/voice-call`
+- [Zalo Personal](/plugins/zalouser) — `@openclaw/zalouser`
+- [Matrix](/channels/matrix) — `@openclaw/matrix`
+- [Nostr](/channels/nostr) — `@openclaw/nostr`
+- [Zalo](/channels/zalo) — `@openclaw/zalo`
+- [Microsoft Teams](/channels/msteams) — `@openclaw/msteams`
+- Google Antigravity OAuth（提供商认证）— 作为 `google-antigravity-auth` 捆绑（默认禁用）
+- Gemini CLI OAuth（提供商认证）— 作为 `google-gemini-cli-auth` 捆绑（默认禁用）
+- Qwen OAuth（提供商认证）— 作为 `qwen-portal-auth` 捆绑（默认禁用）
+- Copilot Proxy（提供商认证）— 本地 VS Code Copilot Proxy 桥接；与内置 `github-copilot` 设备登录不同（捆绑，默认禁用）
+
+OpenClaw 插件是通过 jiti 在运行时加载的 **TypeScript 模块**。**配置验证不会执行插件代码**；它使用插件清单和 JSON Schema。参见 [插件清单](/plugins/manifest)。
+
+插件可以注册：
+
+- Gateway 网关 RPC 方法
+- Gateway 网关 HTTP 处理程序
+- 智能体工具
+- CLI 命令
+- 后台服务
+- 可选的配置验证
+- **Skills**（通过在插件清单中列出 `skills` 目录）
+- **自动回复命令**（不调用 AI 智能体即可执行）
+
+插件与 Gateway 网关**在同一进程中**运行，因此将它们视为受信任的代码。
+工具编写指南：[插件智能体工具](/plugins/agent-tools)。
+
+## 运行时辅助工具
+
+插件可以通过 `api.runtime` 访问选定的核心辅助工具。对于电话 TTS：
+
+```ts
+const result = await api.runtime.tts.textToSpeechTelephony({
+  text: "Hello from OpenClaw",
+  cfg: api.config,
+});
+```
+
+注意事项：
+
+- 使用核心 `messages.tts` 配置（OpenAI 或 ElevenLabs）。
+- 返回 PCM 音频缓冲区 + 采样率。插件必须为提供商重新采样/编码。
+- Edge TTS 不支持电话。
+
+## 发现和优先级
+
+OpenClaw 按顺序扫描：
+
+1. 配置路径
+
+- `plugins.load.paths`（文件或目录）
+
+2. 工作区扩展
+
+- `<workspace>/.openclaw/extensions/*.ts`
+- `<workspace>/.openclaw/extensions/*/index.ts`
+
+3. 全局扩展
+
+- `~/.openclaw/extensions/*.ts`
+- `~/.openclaw/extensions/*/index.ts`
+
+4. 捆绑扩展（随 OpenClaw 一起发布，**默认禁用**）
+
+- `<openclaw>/extensions/*`
+
+捆绑插件必须通过 `plugins.entries.<id>.enabled` 或 `openclaw plugins enable <id>` 显式启用。已安装的插件默认启用，但可以用相同方式禁用。
+
+每个插件必须在其根目录中包含 `openclaw.plugin.json` 文件。如果路径指向文件，则插件根目录是文件的目录，必须包含清单。
+
+如果多个插件解析到相同的 id，上述顺序中的第一个匹配项获胜，较低优先级的副本被忽略。
+
+### 包集合
+
+插件目录可以包含带有 `openclaw.extensions` 的 `package.json`：
+
+```json
+{
+  "name": "my-pack",
+  "openclaw": {
+    "extensions": ["./src/safety.ts", "./src/tools.ts"]
+  }
+}
+```
+
+每个条目成为一个插件。如果包列出多个扩展，插件 id 变为 `name/<fileBase>`。
+
+如果你的插件导入 npm 依赖，请在该目录中安装它们以便 `node_modules` 可用（`npm install` / `pnpm install`）。
+
+### 渠道目录元数据
+
+渠道插件可以通过 `openclaw.channel` 广播新手引导元数据，通过 `openclaw.install` 广播安装提示。这使核心目录保持无数据。
+
+示例：
+
+```json
+{
+  "name": "@openclaw/nextcloud-talk",
+  "openclaw": {
+    "extensions": ["./index.ts"],
+    "channel": {
+      "id": "nextcloud-talk",
+      "label": "Nextcloud Talk",
+      "selectionLabel": "Nextcloud Talk (self-hosted)",
+      "docsPath": "/channels/nextcloud-talk",
+      "docsLabel": "nextcloud-talk",
+      "blurb": "Self-hosted chat via Nextcloud Talk webhook bots.",
+      "order": 65,
+      "aliases": ["nc-talk", "nc"]
+    },
+    "install": {
+      "npmSpec": "@openclaw/nextcloud-talk",
+      "localPath": "extensions/nextcloud-talk",
+      "defaultChoice": "npm"
+    }
+  }
+}
+```
+
+OpenClaw 还可以合并**外部渠道目录**（例如，MPM 注册表导出）。将 JSON 文件放在以下位置之一：
+
+- `~/.openclaw/mpm/plugins.json`
+- `~/.openclaw/mpm/catalog.json`
+- `~/.openclaw/plugins/catalog.json`
+
+或将 `OPENCLAW_PLUGIN_CATALOG_PATHS`（或 `OPENCLAW_MPM_CATALOG_PATHS`）指向一个或多个 JSON 文件（逗号/分号/`PATH` 分隔）。每个文件应包含 `{ "entries": [ { "name": "@scope/pkg", "openclaw": { "channel": {...}, "install": {...} } } ] }`。
+
+## 插件 ID
+
+默认插件 id：
+
+- 包集合：`package.json` 的 `name`
+- 独立文件：文件基本名称（`~/.../voice-call.ts` → `voice-call`）
+
+如果插件导出 `id`，OpenClaw 会使用它，但当它与配置的 id 不匹配时会发出警告。
+
+## 配置
+
+```json5
+{
+  plugins: {
+    enabled: true,
+    allow: ["voice-call"],
+    deny: ["untrusted-plugin"],
+    load: { paths: ["~/Projects/oss/voice-call-extension"] },
+    entries: {
+      "voice-call": { enabled: true, config: { provider: "twilio" } },
+    },
+  },
+}
+```
+
+字段：
+
+- `enabled`：主开关（默认：true）
+- `allow`：允许列表（可选）
+- `deny`：拒绝列表（可选；deny 优先）
+- `load.paths`：额外的插件文件/目录
+- `entries.<id>`：每个插件的开关 + 配置
+
+配置更改**需要重启 Gateway 网关**。
+
+验证规则（严格）：
+
+- `entries`、`allow`、`deny` 或 `slots` 中的未知插件 id 是**错误**。
+- 未知的 `channels.<id>` 键是**错误**，除非插件清单声明了渠道 id。
+- 插件配置使用嵌入在 `openclaw.plugin.json`（`configSchema`）中的 JSON Schema 进行验证。
+- 如果插件被禁用，其配置会保留并发出**警告**。
+
+## 插件槽位（独占类别）
+
+某些插件类别是**独占的**（一次只有一个活跃）。使用 `plugins.slots` 选择哪个插件拥有该槽位：
+
+```json5
+{
+  plugins: {
+    slots: {
+      memory: "memory-core", // or "none" to disable memory plugins
+    },
+  },
+}
+```
+
+如果多个插件声明 `kind: "memory"`，只有选定的那个加载。其他的被禁用并带有诊断信息。
+
+## 控制界面（schema + 标签）
+
+控制界面使用 `config.schema`（JSON Schema + `uiHints`）来渲染更好的表单。
+
+OpenClaw 在运行时根据发现的插件增强 `uiHints`：
+
+- 为 `plugins.entries.<id>` / `.enabled` / `.config` 添加每插件标签
+- 在以下位置合并可选的插件提供的配置字段提示：
+  `plugins.entries.<id>.config.<field>`
+
+如果你希望插件配置字段显示良好的标签/占位符（并将密钥标记为敏感），请在插件清单中提供 `uiHints` 和 JSON Schema。
+
+示例：
+
+```json
+{
+  "id": "my-plugin",
+  "configSchema": {
+    "type": "object",
+    "additionalProperties": false,
+    "properties": {
+      "apiKey": { "type": "string" },
+      "region": { "type": "string" }
+    }
+  },
+  "uiHints": {
+    "apiKey": { "label": "API Key", "sensitive": true },
+    "region": { "label": "Region", "placeholder": "us-east-1" }
+  }
+}
+```
+
+## CLI
+
+```bash
+openclaw plugins list
+openclaw plugins info <id>
+openclaw plugins install <path>                 # copy a local file/dir into ~/.openclaw/extensions/<id>
+openclaw plugins install ./extensions/voice-call # relative path ok
+openclaw plugins install ./plugin.tgz           # install from a local tarball
+openclaw plugins install ./plugin.zip           # install from a local zip
+openclaw plugins install -l ./extensions/voice-call # link (no copy) for dev
+openclaw plugins install @openclaw/voice-call # install from npm
+openclaw plugins update <id>
+openclaw plugins update --all
+openclaw plugins enable <id>
+openclaw plugins disable <id>
+openclaw plugins doctor
+```
+
+`plugins update` 仅适用于在 `plugins.installs` 下跟踪的 npm 安装。
+
+插件也可以注册自己的顶级命令（例如：`openclaw voicecall`）。
+
+## 插件 API（概述）
+
+插件导出以下之一：
+
+- 函数：`(api) => { ... }`
+- 对象：`{ id, name, configSchema, register(api) { ... } }`
+
+## 插件钩子
+
+插件可以附带钩子并在运行时注册它们。这让插件可以捆绑事件驱动的自动化，而无需单独安装钩子包。
+
+### 示例
+
+```
+import { registerPluginHooksFromDir } from "openclaw/plugin-sdk";
+
+export default function register(api) {
+  registerPluginHooksFromDir(api, "./hooks");
+}
+```
+
+注意事项：
+
+- 钩子目录遵循正常的钩子结构（`HOOK.md` + `handler.ts`）。
+- 钩子资格规则仍然适用（操作系统/二进制文件/环境/配置要求）。
+- 插件管理的钩子在 `openclaw hooks list` 中显示为 `plugin:<id>`。
+- 你不能通过 `openclaw hooks` 启用/禁用插件管理的钩子；而是启用/禁用插件。
+
+## 提供商插件（模型认证）
+
+插件可以注册**模型提供商认证**流程，以便用户可以在 OpenClaw 内运行 OAuth 或 API 密钥设置（无需外部脚本）。
+
+通过 `api.registerProvider(...)` 注册提供商。每个提供商暴露一个或多个认证方法（OAuth、API 密钥、设备码等）。这些方法驱动：
+
+- `openclaw models auth login --provider <id> [--method <id>]`
+
+示例：
+
+```ts
+api.registerProvider({
+  id: "acme",
+  label: "AcmeAI",
+  auth: [
+    {
+      id: "oauth",
+      label: "OAuth",
+      kind: "oauth",
+      run: async (ctx) => {
+        // Run OAuth flow and return auth profiles.
+        return {
+          profiles: [
+            {
+              profileId: "acme:default",
+              credential: {
+                type: "oauth",
+                provider: "acme",
+                access: "...",
+                refresh: "...",
+                expires: Date.now() + 3600 * 1000,
+              },
+            },
+          ],
+          defaultModel: "acme/opus-1",
+        };
+      },
+    },
+  ],
+});
+```
+
+注意事项：
+
+- `run` 接收带有 `prompter`、`runtime`、`openUrl` 和 `oauth.createVpsAwareHandlers` 辅助工具的 `ProviderAuthContext`。
+- 当需要添加默认模型或提供商配置时返回 `configPatch`。
+- 返回 `defaultModel` 以便 `--set-default` 可以更新智能体默认值。
+
+### 注册消息渠道
+
+插件可以注册**渠道插件**，其行为类似于内置渠道（WhatsApp、Telegram 等）。渠道配置位于 `channels.<id>` 下，由你的渠道插件代码验证。
+
+```ts
+const myChannel = {
+  id: "acmechat",
+  meta: {
+    id: "acmechat",
+    label: "AcmeChat",
+    selectionLabel: "AcmeChat (API)",
+    docsPath: "/channels/acmechat",
+    blurb: "demo channel plugin.",
+    aliases: ["acme"],
+  },
+  capabilities: { chatTypes: ["direct"] },
+  config: {
+    listAccountIds: (cfg) => Object.keys(cfg.channels?.acmechat?.accounts ?? {}),
+    resolveAccount: (cfg, accountId) =>
+      cfg.channels?.acmechat?.accounts?.[accountId ?? "default"] ?? {
+        accountId,
+      },
+  },
+  outbound: {
+    deliveryMode: "direct",
+    sendText: async () => ({ ok: true }),
+  },
+};
+
+export default function (api) {
+  api.registerChannel({ plugin: myChannel });
+}
+```
+
+注意事项：
+
+- 将配置放在 `channels.<id>` 下（而不是 `plugins.entries`）。
+- `meta.label` 用于 CLI/UI 列表中的标签。
+- `meta.aliases` 添加用于规范化和 CLI 输入的备用 id。
+- `meta.preferOver` 列出当两者都配置时要跳过自动启用的渠道 id。
+- `meta.detailLabel` 和 `meta.systemImage` 让 UI 显示更丰富的渠道标签/图标。
+
+### 编写新的消息渠道（分步指南）
+
+当你想要一个**新的聊天界面**（"消息渠道"）而不是模型提供商时使用此方法。
+模型提供商文档位于 `/providers/*` 下。
+
+1. 选择 id + 配置结构
+
+- 所有渠道配置位于 `channels.<id>` 下。
+- 对于多账户设置，优先使用 `channels.<id>.accounts.<accountId>`。
+
+2. 定义渠道元数据
+
+- `meta.label`、`meta.selectionLabel`、`meta.docsPath`、`meta.blurb` 控制 CLI/UI 列表。
+- `meta.docsPath` 应指向像 `/channels/<id>` 这样的文档页面。
+- `meta.preferOver` 让插件替换另一个渠道（自动启用优先选择它）。
+- `meta.detailLabel` 和 `meta.systemImage` 被 UI 用于详细文本/图标。
+
+3. 实现必需的适配器
+
+- `config.listAccountIds` + `config.resolveAccount`
+- `capabilities`（聊天类型、媒体、线程等）
+- `outbound.deliveryMode` + `outbound.sendText`（用于基本发送）
+
+4. 根据需要添加可选适配器
+
+- `setup`（向导）、`security`（私信策略）、`status`（健康/诊断）
+- `gateway`（启动/停止/登录）、`mentions`、`threading`、`streaming`
+- `actions`（消息操作）、`commands`（原生命令行为）
+
+5. 在插件中注册渠道
+
+- `api.registerChannel({ plugin })`
+
+最小配置示例：
+
+```json5
+{
+  channels: {
+    acmechat: {
+      accounts: {
+        default: { token: "ACME_TOKEN", enabled: true },
+      },
+    },
+  },
+}
+```
+
+最小渠道插件（仅出站）：
+
+```ts
+const plugin = {
+  id: "acmechat",
+  meta: {
+    id: "acmechat",
+    label: "AcmeChat",
+    selectionLabel: "AcmeChat (API)",
+    docsPath: "/channels/acmechat",
+    blurb: "AcmeChat messaging channel.",
+    aliases: ["acme"],
+  },
+  capabilities: { chatTypes: ["direct"] },
+  config: {
+    listAccountIds: (cfg) => Object.keys(cfg.channels?.acmechat?.accounts ?? {}),
+    resolveAccount: (cfg, accountId) =>
+      cfg.channels?.acmechat?.accounts?.[accountId ?? "default"] ?? {
+        accountId,
+      },
+  },
+  outbound: {
+    deliveryMode: "direct",
+    sendText: async ({ text }) => {
+      // deliver `text` to your channel here
+      return { ok: true };
+    },
+  },
+};
+
+export default function (api) {
+  api.registerChannel({ plugin });
+}
+```
+
+加载插件（扩展目录或 `plugins.load.paths`），重启 Gateway 网关，然后在配置中配置 `channels.<id>`。
+
+### 智能体工具
+
+参见专门指南：[插件智能体工具](/plugins/agent-tools)。
+
+### 注册 Gateway 网关 RPC 方法
+
+```ts
+export default function (api) {
+  api.registerGatewayMethod("myplugin.status", ({ respond }) => {
+    respond(true, { ok: true });
+  });
+}
+```
+
+### 注册 CLI 命令
+
+```ts
+export default function (api) {
+  api.registerCli(
+    ({ program }) => {
+      program.command("mycmd").action(() => {
+        console.log("Hello");
+      });
+    },
+    { commands: ["mycmd"] },
+  );
+}
+```
+
+### 注册自动回复命令
+
+插件可以注册自定义斜杠命令，**无需调用 AI 智能体**即可执行。这对于切换命令、状态检查或不需要 LLM 处理的快速操作很有用。
+
+```ts
+export default function (api) {
+  api.registerCommand({
+    name: "mystatus",
+    description: "Show plugin status",
+    handler: (ctx) => ({
+      text: `Plugin is running! Channel: ${ctx.channel}`,
+    }),
+  });
+}
+```
+
+命令处理程序上下文：
+
+- `senderId`：发送者的 ID（如可用）
+- `channel`：发送命令的渠道
+- `isAuthorizedSender`：发送者是否是授权用户
+- `args`：命令后传递的参数（如果 `acceptsArgs: true`）
+- `commandBody`：完整的命令文本
+- `config`：当前 OpenClaw 配置
+
+命令选项：
+
+- `name`：命令名称（不带前导 `/`）
+- `description`：命令列表中显示的帮助文本
+- `acceptsArgs`：命令是否接受参数（默认：false）。如果为 false 且提供了参数，命令不会匹配，消息会传递给其他处理程序
+- `requireAuth`：是否需要授权发送者（默认：true）
+- `handler`：返回 `{ text: string }` 的函数（可以是异步的）
+
+带授权和参数的示例：
+
+```ts
+api.registerCommand({
+  name: "setmode",
+  description: "Set plugin mode",
+  acceptsArgs: true,
+  requireAuth: true,
+  handler: async (ctx) => {
+    const mode = ctx.args?.trim() || "default";
+    await saveMode(mode);
+    return { text: `Mode set to: ${mode}` };
+  },
+});
+```
+
+注意事项：
+
+- 插件命令在内置命令和 AI 智能体**之前**处理
+- 命令全局注册，适用于所有渠道
+- 命令名称不区分大小写（`/MyStatus` 匹配 `/mystatus`）
+- 命令名称必须以字母开头，只能包含字母、数字、连字符和下划线
+- 保留的命令名称（如 `help`、`status`、`reset` 等）不能被插件覆盖
+- 跨插件的重复命令注册将失败并显示诊断错误
+
+### 注册后台服务
+
+```ts
+export default function (api) {
+  api.registerService({
+    id: "my-service",
+    start: () => api.logger.info("ready"),
+    stop: () => api.logger.info("bye"),
+  });
+}
+```
+
+## 命名约定
+
+- Gateway 网关方法：`pluginId.action`（例如：`voicecall.status`）
+- 工具：`snake_case`（例如：`voice_call`）
+- CLI 命令：kebab 或 camel，但避免与核心命令冲突
+
+## Skills
+
+插件可以在仓库中附带 Skills（`skills/<name>/SKILL.md`）。
+使用 `plugins.entries.<id>.enabled`（或其他配置门控）启用它，并确保它存在于你的工作区/托管 Skills 位置。
+
+## 分发（npm）
+
+推荐的打包方式：
+
+- 主包：`openclaw`（本仓库）
+- 插件：`@openclaw/*` 下的独立 npm 包（例如：`@openclaw/voice-call`）
+
+发布契约：
+
+- 插件 `package.json` 必须包含带有一个或多个入口文件的 `openclaw.extensions`。
+- 入口文件可以是 `.js` 或 `.ts`（jiti 在运行时加载 TS）。
+- `openclaw plugins install <npm-spec>` 使用 `npm pack`，提取到 `~/.openclaw/extensions/<id>/`，并在配置中启用它。
+- 配置键稳定性：作用域包被规范化为 `plugins.entries.*` 的**无作用域** id。
+
+## 示例插件：Voice Call
+
+本仓库包含一个语音通话插件（Twilio 或 log 回退）：
+
+- 源码：`extensions/voice-call`
+- Skills：`skills/voice-call`
+- CLI：`openclaw voicecall start|status`
+- 工具：`voice_call`
+- RPC：`voicecall.start`、`voicecall.status`
+- 配置（twilio）：`provider: "twilio"` + `twilio.accountSid/authToken/from`（可选 `statusCallbackUrl`、`twimlUrl`）
+- 配置（dev）：`provider: "log"`（无网络）
+
+参见 [Voice Call](/plugins/voice-call) 和 `extensions/voice-call/README.md` 了解设置和用法。
+
+## 安全注意事项
+
+插件与 Gateway 网关在同一进程中运行。将它们视为受信任的代码：
+
+- 只安装你信任的插件。
+- 优先使用 `plugins.allow` 允许列表。
+- 更改后重启 Gateway 网关。
+
+## 测试插件
+
+插件可以（也应该）附带测试：
+
+- 仓库内插件可以在 `src/**` 下保留 Vitest 测试（例如：`src/plugins/voice-call.plugin.test.ts`）。
+- 单独发布的插件应运行自己的 CI（lint/构建/测试）并验证 `openclaw.extensions` 指向构建的入口点（`dist/index.js`）。

-# TUI（终端 UI）
-
-## 快速开始
-
-1. 启动 Gateway 网关。
-
-```bash
-openclaw gateway
-```
-
-2. 打开 TUI。
-
-```bash
-openclaw tui
-```
-
-3. 输入消息并按 Enter。
-
-远程 Gateway 网关：
-
-```bash
-openclaw tui --url ws://<host>:<port> --token <gateway-token>
-```
-
-如果你的 Gateway 网关使用密码认证，请使用 `--password`。
-
-## 你看到的内容
-
-- 标题栏：连接 URL、当前智能体、当前会话。
-- 聊天日志：用户消息、助手回复、系统通知、工具卡片。
-- 状态行：连接/运行状态（连接中、运行中、流式传输中、空闲、错误）。
-- 页脚：连接状态 + 智能体 + 会话 + 模型 + think/verbose/reasoning + token 计数 + 投递状态。
-- 输入：带自动完成的文本编辑器。
-
-## 心智模型：智能体 + 会话
-
-- 智能体是唯一的标识符（例如 `main`、`research`）。Gateway 网关公开列表。
-- 会话属于当前智能体。
-- 会话键存储为 `agent:<agentId>:<sessionKey>`。
-  - 如果你输入 `/session main`，TUI 会将其扩展为 `agent:<currentAgent>:main`。
-  - 如果你输入 `/session agent:other:main`，你会显式切换到该智能体会话。
-- 会话范围：
-  - `per-sender`（默认）：每个智能体有多个会话。
-  - `global`：TUI 始终使用 `global` 会话（选择器可能为空）。
-- 当前智能体 + 会话始终在页脚中可见。
-
-## 发送 + 投递
-
-- 消息发送到 Gateway 网关；默认情况下不投递到提供商。
-- 开启投递：
-  - `/deliver on`
-  - 或设置面板
-  - 或使用 `openclaw tui --deliver` 启动
-
-## 选择器 + 覆盖层
-
-- 模型选择器：列出可用模型并设置会话覆盖。
-- 智能体选择器：选择不同的智能体。
-- 会话选择器：仅显示当前智能体的会话。
-- 设置：切换投递、工具输出展开和思考可见性。
-
-## 键盘快捷键
-
-- Enter：发送消息
-- Esc：中止活动运行
-- Ctrl+C：清除输入（按两次退出）
-- Ctrl+D：退出
-- Ctrl+L：模型选择器
-- Ctrl+G：智能体选择器
-- Ctrl+P：会话选择器
-- Ctrl+O：切换工具输出展开
-- Ctrl+T：切换思考可见性（重新加载历史）
-
-## 斜杠命令
-
-核心：
-
-- `/help`
-- `/status`
-- `/agent <id>`（或 `/agents`）
-- `/session <key>`（或 `/sessions`）
-- `/model <provider/model>`（或 `/models`）
-
-会话控制：
-
-- `/think <off|minimal|low|medium|high>`
-- `/verbose <on|full|off>`
-- `/reasoning <on|off|stream>`
-- `/usage <off|tokens|full>`
-- `/elevated <on|off|ask|full>`（别名：`/elev`）
-- `/activation <mention|always>`
-- `/deliver <on|off>`
-
-会话生命周期：
-
-- `/new` 或 `/reset`（重置会话）
-- `/abort`（中止活动运行）
-- `/settings`
-- `/exit`
-
-其他 Gateway 网关斜杠命令（例如 `/context`）会转发到 Gateway 网关并显示为系统输出。参见[斜杠命令](/tools/slash-commands)。
-
-## 本地 shell 命令
-
-- 以 `!` 为前缀的行会在 TUI 主机上运行本地 shell 命令。
-- TUI 每个会话会提示一次以允许本地执行；拒绝会在该会话中禁用 `!`。
-- 命令在 TUI 工作目录中以全新的非交互式 shell 运行（无持久化 `cd`/环境变量）。
-- 单独的 `!` 会作为普通消息发送；前导空格不会触发本地执行。
-
-## 工具输出
-
-- 工具调用显示为带有参数 + 结果的卡片。
-- Ctrl+O 在折叠/展开视图之间切换。
-- 工具运行时，部分更新会流式传输到同一张卡片。
-
-## 历史 + 流式传输
-
-- 连接时，TUI 加载最新历史（默认 200 条消息）。
-- 流式响应原地更新直到完成。
-- TUI 还监听智能体工具事件以获得更丰富的工具卡片。
-
-## 连接详情
-
-- TUI 以 `mode: "tui"` 向 Gateway 网关注册。
-- 重新连接会显示系统消息；事件间隙会在日志中显示。
-
-## 选项
-
-- `--url <url>`：Gateway 网关 WebSocket URL（默认为配置或 `ws://127.0.0.1:<port>`）
-- `--token <token>`：Gateway 网关令牌（如果需要）
-- `--password <password>`：Gateway 网关密码（如果需要）
-- `--session <key>`：会话键（默认：`main`，或范围为全局时为 `global`）
-- `--deliver`：将助手回复投递到提供商（默认关闭）
-- `--thinking <level>`：覆盖发送的思考级别
-- `--timeout-ms <ms>`：智能体超时（毫秒）（默认为 `agents.defaults.timeoutSeconds`）
-
-## 故障排除
-
-发送消息后没有输出：
-
-- 在 TUI 中运行 `/status` 以确认 Gateway 网关已连接且处于空闲/忙碌状态。
-- 检查 Gateway 网关日志：`openclaw logs --follow`。
-- 确认智能体可以运行：`openclaw status` 和 `openclaw models status`。
-- 如果你期望消息出现在聊天渠道中，请启用投递（`/deliver on` 或 `--deliver`）。
-- `--history-limit <n>`：要加载的历史条目数（默认 200）
-
-## 故障排除
-
-- `disconnected`：确保 Gateway 网关正在运行且你的 `--url/--token/--password` 正确。
-- 选择器中没有智能体：检查 `openclaw agents list` 和你的路由配置。
-- 会话选择器为空：你可能处于全局范围或还没有会话。

+- 模型选择器：列出可用模型并设置会话覆盖。
+- 智能体选择器：选择不同的智能体。
+- 会话选择器：仅显示当前智能体的会话。
+- 设置：切换投递、工具输出展开和思考可见性。
+
+## 键盘快捷键
+
+- Enter：发送消息
+- Esc：中止活动运行
+- Ctrl+C：清除输入（按两次退出）
+- Ctrl+D：退出
+- Ctrl+L：模型选择器
+- Ctrl+G：智能体选择器
+- Ctrl+P：会话选择器
+- Ctrl+O：切换工具输出展开
+- Ctrl+T：切换思考可见性（重新加载历史）
+
+## 斜杠命令
+
+核心：
+
+- `/help`
+- `/status`
+- `/agent <id>`（或 `/agents`）
+- `/session <key>`（或 `/sessions`）
+- `/model <provider/model>`（或 `/models`）
+
+会话控制：
+
+- `/think <off|minimal|low|medium|high>`
+- `/verbose <on|full|off>`
+- `/reasoning <on|off|stream>`
+- `/usage <off|tokens|full>`
+- `/elevated <on|off|ask|full>`（别名：`/elev`）
+- `/activation <mention|always>`
+- `/deliver <on|off>`
+
+会话生命周期：
+
+- `/new` 或 `/reset`（重置会话）
+- `/abort`（中止活动运行）
+- `/settings`
+- `/exit`
+
+其他 Gateway 网关斜杠命令（例如 `/context`）会转发到 Gateway 网关并显示为系统输出。参见[斜杠命令](/tools/slash-commands)。
+
+## 本地 shell 命令
+
+- 以 `!` 为前缀的行会在 TUI 主机上运行本地 shell 命令。
+- TUI 每个会话会提示一次以允许本地执行；拒绝会在该会话中禁用 `!`。
+- 命令在 TUI 工作目录中以全新的非交互式 shell 运行（无持久化 `cd`/环境变量）。
+- 单独的 `!` 会作为普通消息发送；前导空格不会触发本地执行。
+
+## 工具输出
+
+- 工具调用显示为带有参数 + 结果的卡片。
+- Ctrl+O 在折叠/展开视图之间切换。
+- 工具运行时，部分更新会流式传输到同一张卡片。
+
+## 历史 + 流式传输
+
+- 连接时，TUI 加载最新历史（默认 200 条消息）。
+- 流式响应原地更新直到完成。
+- TUI 还监听智能体工具事件以获得更丰富的工具卡片。
+
+## 连接详情
+
+- TUI 以 `mode: "tui"` 向 Gateway 网关注册。
+- 重新连接会显示系统消息；事件间隙会在日志中显示。
+
+## 选项
+
+- `--url <url>`：Gateway 网关 WebSocket URL（默认为配置或 `ws://127.0.0.1:<port>`）
+- `--token <token>`：Gateway 网关令牌（如果需要）
+- `--password <password>`：Gateway 网关密码（如果需要）
+- `--session <key>`：会话键（默认：`main`，或范围为全局时为 `global`）
+- `--deliver`：将助手回复投递到提供商（默认关闭）
+- `--thinking <level>`：覆盖发送的思考级别
+- `--timeout-ms <ms>`：智能体超时（毫秒）（默认为 `agents.defaults.timeoutSeconds`）
+
+## 故障排除
+
+发送消息后没有输出：
+
+- 在 TUI 中运行 `/status` 以确认 Gateway 网关已连接且处于空闲/忙碌状态。
+- 检查 Gateway 网关日志：`openclaw logs --follow`。
+- 确认智能体可以运行：`openclaw status` 和 `openclaw models status`。
+- 如果你期望消息出现在聊天渠道中，请启用投递（`/deliver on` 或 `--deliver`）。
+- `--history-limit <n>`：要加载的历史条目数（默认 200）
+
+## 故障排除
+
+- `disconnected`：确保 Gateway 网关正在运行且你的 `--url/--token/--password` 正确。
+- 选择器中没有智能体：检查 `openclaw agents list` 和你的路由配置。
+- 会话选择器为空：你可能处于全局范围或还没有会话。

+  Feishu document read/write operations. Activate when user mentions Feishu docs, cloud docs, or docx links.
+---
+
+# Feishu Document Tool
+
+Single tool `feishu_doc` with action parameter for all document operations.
+
+## Token Extraction
+
+From URL `https://xxx.feishu.cn/docx/ABC123def` → `doc_token` = `ABC123def`
+
+## Actions
+
+### Read Document
+
+```json
+{ "action": "read", "doc_token": "ABC123def" }
+```
+
+Returns: title, plain text content, block statistics. Check `hint` field - if present, structured content (tables, images) exists that requires `list_blocks`.
+
+### Write Document (Replace All)
+
+```json
+{ "action": "write", "doc_token": "ABC123def", "content": "# Title\n\nMarkdown content..." }
+```
+
+Replaces entire document with markdown content. Supports: headings, lists, code blocks, quotes, links, images (`![](url)` auto-uploaded), bold/italic/strikethrough.
+
+**Limitation:** Markdown tables are NOT supported.
+
+### Append Content
+
+```json
+{ "action": "append", "doc_token": "ABC123def", "content": "Additional content" }
+```
+
+Appends markdown to end of document.
+
+### Create Document
+
+```json
+{ "action": "create", "title": "New Document" }
+```
+
+With folder:
+
+```json
+{ "action": "create", "title": "New Document", "folder_token": "fldcnXXX" }
+```
+
+### List Blocks
+
+```json
+{ "action": "list_blocks", "doc_token": "ABC123def" }
+```
+
+Returns full block data including tables, images. Use this to read structured content.
+
+### Get Single Block
+
+```json
+{ "action": "get_block", "doc_token": "ABC123def", "block_id": "doxcnXXX" }
+```
+
+### Update Block Text
+
+```json
+{
+  "action": "update_block",
+  "doc_token": "ABC123def",
+  "block_id": "doxcnXXX",
+  "content": "New text"
+}
+```
+
+### Delete Block
+
+```json
+{ "action": "delete_block", "doc_token": "ABC123def", "block_id": "doxcnXXX" }
+```
+
+## Reading Workflow
+
+1. Start with `action: "read"` - get plain text + statistics
+2. Check `block_types` in response for Table, Image, Code, etc.
+3. If structured content exists, use `action: "list_blocks"` for full data
+
+## Configuration
+
+```yaml
+channels:
+  feishu:
+    tools:
+      doc: true # default: true
+```
+
+**Note:** `feishu_wiki` depends on this tool - wiki page content is read/written via `feishu_doc`.
+
+## Permissions
+
+Required: `docx:document`, `docx:document:readonly`, `docx:document.block:convert`, `drive:drive`

+
+## Editing Guidelines
+
+### Text-based blocks (2-17, 19)
+
+Update text content using `feishu_doc_update_block`:
+
+```json
+{
+  "doc_token": "ABC123",
+  "block_id": "block_xxx",
+  "content": "New text content"
+}
+```
+
+### Image blocks (27)
+
+Images cannot be updated directly via `update_block`. Use `feishu_doc_write` or `feishu_doc_append` with markdown to add new images.
+
+### Table blocks (31)
+
+**Important:** Table blocks CANNOT be created via the `documentBlockChildren.create` API (error 1770029). This affects `feishu_doc_write` and `feishu_doc_append` - markdown tables will be skipped with a warning.
+
+Tables can only be read (via `list_blocks`) and individual cells (type 32) can be updated, but new tables cannot be inserted programmatically via markdown.
+
+### Container blocks (24, 25, 35)
+
+Grid and QuoteContainer are layout containers. Edit their child blocks instead.
+
+## Common Patterns
+
+### Replace specific paragraph
+
+1. `feishu_doc_list_blocks` - find the block_id
+2. `feishu_doc_update_block` - update its content
+
+### Insert content at specific location
+
+Currently, the API only supports appending to document end. For insertion at specific positions, consider:
+
+1. Read existing content
+2. Delete affected blocks
+3. Rewrite with new content in desired order
+
+### Delete multiple blocks
+
+Blocks must be deleted one at a time. Delete child blocks before parent containers.

+
+# Feishu Drive Tool
+
+Single tool `feishu_drive` for cloud storage operations.
+
+## Token Extraction
+
+From URL `https://xxx.feishu.cn/drive/folder/ABC123` → `folder_token` = `ABC123`
+
+## Actions
+
+### List Folder Contents
+
+```json
+{ "action": "list" }
+```
+
+Root directory (no folder_token).
+
+```json
+{ "action": "list", "folder_token": "fldcnXXX" }
+```
+
+Returns: files with token, name, type, url, timestamps.
+
+### Get File Info
+
+```json
+{ "action": "info", "file_token": "ABC123", "type": "docx" }
+```
+
+Searches for the file in the root directory. Note: file must be in root or use `list` to browse folders first.
+
+`type`: `doc`, `docx`, `sheet`, `bitable`, `folder`, `file`, `mindnote`, `shortcut`
+
+### Create Folder
+
+```json
+{ "action": "create_folder", "name": "New Folder" }
+```
+
+In parent folder:
+
+```json
+{ "action": "create_folder", "name": "New Folder", "folder_token": "fldcnXXX" }
+```
+
+### Move File
+
+```json
+{ "action": "move", "file_token": "ABC123", "type": "docx", "folder_token": "fldcnXXX" }
+```
+
+### Delete File
+
+```json
+{ "action": "delete", "file_token": "ABC123", "type": "docx" }
+```
+
+## File Types
+
+| Type       | Description             |
+| ---------- | ----------------------- |
+| `doc`      | Old format document     |
+| `docx`     | New format document     |
+| `sheet`    | Spreadsheet             |
+| `bitable`  | Multi-dimensional table |
+| `folder`   | Folder                  |
+| `file`     | Uploaded file           |
+| `mindnote` | Mind map                |
+| `shortcut` | Shortcut                |
+
+## Configuration
+
+```yaml
+channels:
+  feishu:
+    tools:
+      drive: true # default: true
+```
+
+## Permissions
+
+- `drive:drive` - Full access (create, move, delete)
+- `drive:drive:readonly` - Read only (list, info)
+
+## Known Limitations
+
+- **Bots have no root folder**: Feishu bots use `tenant_access_token` and don't have their own "My Space". The root folder concept only exists for user accounts. This means:
+  - `create_folder` without `folder_token` will fail (400 error)
+  - Bot can only access files/folders that have been **shared with it**
+  - **Workaround**: User must first create a folder manually and share it with the bot, then bot can create subfolders inside it

+
+## Wiki-Doc Workflow
+
+To edit a wiki page:
+
+1. Get node: `{ "action": "get", "token": "wiki_token" }` → returns `obj_token`
+2. Read doc: `feishu_doc { "action": "read", "doc_token": "obj_token" }`
+3. Write doc: `feishu_doc { "action": "write", "doc_token": "obj_token", "content": "..." }`
+
+## Configuration
+
+```yaml
+channels:
+  feishu:
+    tools:
+      wiki: true # default: true
+      doc: true # required - wiki content uses feishu_doc
+```
+
+**Dependency:** This tool requires `feishu_doc` to be enabled. Wiki pages are documents - use `feishu_wiki` to navigate, then `feishu_doc` to read/edit content.
+
+## Permissions

 - Twilio/Telnyx/Plivo require a **publicly reachable** webhook URL.
 - `mock` is a local dev provider (no network calls).
+- Telnyx requires `telnyx.publicKey` (or `TELNYX_PUBLIC_KEY`) unless `skipSignatureVerification` is true.
 - `tunnel.allowNgrokFreeTierLoopbackBypass: true` allows Twilio webhooks with invalid signatures **only** when `tunnel.provider="ngrok"` and `serve.bind` is loopback (ngrok local agent). Use for local dev only.

+- Output ONLY the translated text. No preamble, no questions, no commentary.
+- Translate all English prose; do not leave English unless it is code, a URL, or a product name.
+- All prose must be Chinese. If any English sentence remains outside code/URLs/product names, it is wrong.
+- If the input contains <frontmatter> and <body> tags, keep them exactly and output exactly one of each.
+- Translate only the contents inside those tags.
+- Preserve YAML structure inside <frontmatter>; translate only values.
+- Preserve all [[[FM_*]]] markers exactly and translate only the text between each START/END pair.
+- Translate headings/labels like "Exit codes" and "Optional scripts".
+- Preserve Markdown syntax exactly (headings, lists, tables, emphasis).
+- Preserve HTML tags and attributes exactly.
+- Do not translate code spans/blocks, config keys, CLI flags, or env vars.
+- Do not alter URLs or anchors.
+- Preserve placeholders exactly: __OC_I18N_####__.
+- Do not remove, reorder, or summarize content.
+- Use fluent, idiomatic technical Chinese; avoid slang or jokes.
+- Use neutral documentation tone; prefer “你/你的”, avoid “您/您的”.
+- Insert a space between Latin characters and CJK text (W3C CLREQ), e.g., “Gateway 网关”, “Skills 配置”.
+- Use Chinese quotation marks “ and ” for Chinese prose; keep ASCII quotes inside code spans/blocks or literal CLI/keys.
+- Keep product names in English: OpenClaw, Pi, WhatsApp, Telegram, Discord, iMessage, Slack, Microsoft Teams, Google Chat, Signal.

+# ClawDock <!-- omit in toc -->
+
+Stop typing `docker-compose` commands. Just type `clawdock-start`.
+
+Inspired by Simon Willison's [Running OpenClaw in Docker](https://til.simonwillison.net/llms/openclaw-docker).

+- [Requirements](#requirements)
+
+## Quickstart
+
+**Install:**
+
+```bash
+mkdir -p ~/.clawdock && curl -sL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/openclaw/openclaw/main/scripts/shell-helpers/clawdock-helpers.sh -o ~/.clawdock/clawdock-helpers.sh
+```
+
+```bash
+echo 'source ~/.clawdock/clawdock-helpers.sh' >> ~/.zshrc && source ~/.zshrc
+```
+
+**See what you get:**
+
+```bash
+clawdock-help
+```
+
+On first command, ClawDock auto-detects your OpenClaw directory:
+
+- Checks common paths (`~/openclaw`, `~/workspace/openclaw`, etc.)
+- If found, asks you to confirm
+- Saves to `~/.clawdock/config`
+
+**First time setup:**
+
+```bash
+clawdock-start
+```
+
+```bash
+clawdock-fix-token
+```
+
+```bash
+clawdock-dashboard
+```
+
+If you see "pairing required":
+
+```bash
+clawdock-devices
+```
+
+And approve the request for the specific device:
+
+```bash
+clawdock-approve <request-id>
+```
+

+
+### Check Status and Logs
+
+**Restart the gateway:**
+
+```bash
+clawdock-restart
+```
+
+**Check container status:**
+
+```bash
+clawdock-status
+```
+
+**View live logs:**
+
+```bash
+clawdock-logs
+```
+
+### Set Up WhatsApp Bot
+
+**Shell into the container:**
+
+```bash
+clawdock-shell
+```
+
+**Inside the container, login to WhatsApp:**
+
+```bash
+openclaw channels login --channel whatsapp --verbose
+```
+
+Scan the QR code with WhatsApp on your phone.
+
+**Verify connection:**
+
+```bash
+openclaw status
+```
+
+### Troubleshooting Device Pairing
+
+**Check for pending pairing requests:**
+
+```bash
+clawdock-devices
+```
+
+**Copy the Request ID from the "Pending" table, then approve:**
+
+```bash
+clawdock-approve <request-id>
+```
+
+Then refresh your browser.
+
+### Fix Token Mismatch Issues
+
+If you see "gateway token mismatch" errors:
+
+```bash
+clawdock-fix-token
+```
+
+This will:
+
+1. Read the token from your `.env` file
+2. Configure it in the OpenClaw config
+3. Restart the gateway
+4. Verify the configuration
+
+### Permission Denied
+
+**Ensure Docker is running and you have permission:**
+
+```bash
+docker ps
+```
+
+## Requirements
+
+- Docker and Docker Compose installed
+- Bash or Zsh shell
+- OpenClaw project (from `docker-setup.sh`)
+
+## Development
+
+**Test with fresh config (mimics first-time install):**
+
+```bash
+unset CLAWDOCK_DIR && rm -f ~/.clawdock/config && source scripts/shell-helpers/clawdock-helpers.sh
+```
+
+Then run any command to trigger auto-detect:
+
+```bash
+clawdock-start
+```

-# bird 🐦
-
-Fast X/Twitter CLI using GraphQL + cookie auth.
-
-## Install
-
-```bash
-# npm/pnpm/bun
-npm install -g @steipete/bird
-
-# Homebrew (macOS, prebuilt binary)
-brew install steipete/tap/bird
-
-# One-shot (no install)
-bunx @steipete/bird whoami
-```
-
-## Authentication
-
-`bird` uses cookie-based auth.
-
-Use `--auth-token` / `--ct0` to pass cookies directly, or `--cookie-source` for browser cookies.
-
-Run `bird check` to see which source is active. For Arc/Brave, use `--chrome-profile-dir <path>`.
-
-## Commands
-
-### Account & Auth
-
-```bash
-bird whoami                    # Show logged-in account
-bird check                     # Show credential sources
-bird query-ids --fresh         # Refresh GraphQL query ID cache
-```
-
-### Reading Tweets
-
-```bash
-bird read <url-or-id>          # Read a single tweet
-bird <url-or-id>               # Shorthand for read
-bird thread <url-or-id>        # Full conversation thread
-bird replies <url-or-id>       # List replies to a tweet
-```
-
-### Timelines

-```
-
-## Global Options
-
-```bash
---auth-token <token>       # Set auth_token cookie
---ct0 <token>              # Set ct0 cookie

---timeout <ms>             # Request timeout
---cookie-timeout <ms>      # Cookie extraction timeout
-```
-
-## Config File
-
-`~/.config/bird/config.json5` (global) or `./.birdrc.json5` (project):
-
-```json5
-{
-  cookieSource: ["chrome"],
-  chromeProfileDir: "/path/to/Arc/Profile",
-  timeoutMs: 20000,
-  quoteDepth: 1,
-}
-```
-
-Environment variables: `BIRD_TIMEOUT_MS`, `BIRD_COOKIE_TIMEOUT_MS`, `BIRD_QUOTE_DEPTH`
-
-## Troubleshooting
-
-### Query IDs stale (404 errors)
-
-```bash
-bird query-ids --fresh
-```
-
-### Cookie extraction fails
-
-- Check browser is logged into X
-- Try different `--cookie-source`
-- For Arc/Brave: use `--chrome-profile-dir`
-

-# Discord Actions
+# Discord (Via `message`)
 
-## Overview
+Use the `message` tool. No provider-specific `discord` tool exposed to the agent.
 
-Use `discord` to manage messages, reactions, threads, polls, and moderation. You can disable groups via `discord.actions.*` (defaults to enabled, except roles/moderation). The tool uses the bot token configured for OpenClaw.
+## Musts
 
-## Inputs to collect
+- Always: `channel: "discord"`.
+- Respect gating: `channels.discord.actions.*` (some default off: `roles`, `moderation`, `presence`, `channels`).
+- Prefer explicit ids: `guildId`, `channelId`, `messageId`, `userId`.
+- Multi-account: optional `accountId`.
 
-- For reactions: `channelId`, `messageId`, and an `emoji`.
-- For fetchMessage: `guildId`, `channelId`, `messageId`, or a `messageLink` like `https://discord.com/channels/<guildId>/<channelId>/<messageId>`.
-- For stickers/polls/sendMessage: a `to` target (`channel:<id>` or `user:<id>`). Optional `content` text.
-- Polls also need a `question` plus 2–10 `answers`.
-- For media: `mediaUrl` with `file:///path` for local files or `https://...` for remote.
-- For emoji uploads: `guildId`, `name`, `mediaUrl`, optional `roleIds` (limit 256KB, PNG/JPG/GIF).
-- For sticker uploads: `guildId`, `name`, `description`, `tags`, `mediaUrl` (limit 512KB, PNG/APNG/Lottie JSON).
+## Guidelines
 
-Message context lines include `discord message id` and `channel` fields you can reuse directly.
+- Avoid Markdown tables in outbound Discord messages.
+- Mention users as `<@USER_ID>`.
+- Prefer Discord components v2 (`components`) for rich UI; use legacy `embeds` only when you must.
 
-**Note:** `sendMessage` uses `to: "channel:<id>"` format, not `channelId`. Other actions like `react`, `readMessages`, `editMessage` use `channelId` directly.
-**Note:** `fetchMessage` accepts message IDs or full links like `https://discord.com/channels/<guildId>/<channelId>/<messageId>`.
+## Targets
 
-## Actions
+- Send-like actions: `to: "channel:<id>"` or `to: "user:<id>"`.
+- Message-specific actions: `channelId: "<id>"` (or `to`) + `messageId: "<id>"`.
 
-### React to a message
+## Common Actions (Examples)
 
-```json
-{
-  "action": "react",
-  "channelId": "123",
-  "messageId": "456",
-  "emoji": "✅"
-}
-```
-
-### List reactions + users
+Send message:
 
 ```json
 {
-  "action": "reactions",
-  "channelId": "123",
-  "messageId": "456",
-  "limit": 100
-}
-```
-
-### Send a sticker
-
-```json
-{
-  "action": "sticker",
+  "action": "send",
+  "channel": "discord",
   "to": "channel:123",
-  "stickerIds": ["9876543210"],
-  "content": "Nice work!"
+  "message": "hello",
+  "silent": true
 }
 ```
 
-- Up to 3 sticker IDs per message.
-- `to` can be `user:<id>` for DMs.
-
-### Upload a custom emoji
+Send with media:
 
 ```json
 {
-  "action": "emojiUpload",
-  "guildId": "999",
-  "name": "party_blob",
-  "mediaUrl": "file:///tmp/party.png",
-  "roleIds": ["222"]
-}
-```
-
-- Emoji images must be PNG/JPG/GIF and <= 256KB.
-- `roleIds` is optional; omit to make the emoji available to everyone.
-
-### Upload a sticker
-
-```json
-{
-  "action": "stickerUpload",
-  "guildId": "999",
-  "name": "openclaw_wave",
-  "description": "OpenClaw waving hello",
-  "tags": "👋",
-  "mediaUrl": "file:///tmp/wave.png"
+  "action": "send",
+  "channel": "discord",
+  "to": "channel:123",
+  "message": "see attachment",
+  "media": "file:///tmp/example.png"
 }
 ```
 
-- Stickers require `name`, `description`, and `tags`.
-- Uploads must be PNG/APNG/Lottie JSON and <= 512KB.
+- Optional `silent: true` to suppress Discord notifications.
 
-### Create a poll
+Send with components v2 (recommended for rich UI):
 
 ```json
 {
-  "action": "poll",
+  "action": "send",
+  "channel": "discord",
   "to": "channel:123",
-  "question": "Lunch?",
-  "answers": ["Pizza", "Sushi", "Salad"],
-  "allowMultiselect": false,
-  "durationHours": 24,
-  "content": "Vote now"
+  "message": "Status update",
+  "components": "[Carbon v2 components]"
 }
 ```
 
-- `durationHours` defaults to 24; max 32 days (768 hours).
+- `components` expects Carbon component instances (Container, TextDisplay, etc.) from JS/TS integrations.
+- Do not combine `components` with `embeds` (Discord rejects v2 + embeds).
 
-### Check bot permissions for a channel
+Legacy embeds (not recommended):
 
 ```json
 {
-  "action": "permissions",
-  "channelId": "123"
+  "action": "send",
+  "channel": "discord",
+  "to": "channel:123",
+  "message": "Status update",
+  "embeds": [{ "title": "Legacy", "description": "Embeds are legacy." }]
 }
 ```
 
-## Ideas to try
-
-- React with ✅/⚠️ to mark status updates.
-- Post a quick poll for release decisions or meeting times.
-- Send celebratory stickers after successful deploys.
-- Upload new emojis/stickers for release moments.
-- Run weekly “priority check” polls in team channels.
-- DM stickers as acknowledgements when a user’s request is completed.
+- `embeds` are ignored when components v2 are present.
 
-## Action gating
-
-Use `discord.actions.*` to disable action groups:
-
-- `reactions` (react + reactions list + emojiList)
-- `stickers`, `polls`, `permissions`, `messages`, `threads`, `pins`, `search`
-- `emojiUploads`, `stickerUploads`
-- `memberInfo`, `roleInfo`, `channelInfo`, `voiceStatus`, `events`
-- `roles` (role add/remove, default `false`)
-- `channels` (channel/category create/edit/delete/move, default `false`)
-- `moderation` (timeout/kick/ban, default `false`)
-- `presence` (bot status/activity, default `false`)
-
-### Read recent messages
-
-```json
-{
-  "action": "readMessages",
-  "channelId": "123",
-  "limit": 20
-}
-```
-
-### Fetch a single message
+React:
 
 ```json
 {
-  "action": "fetchMessage",
-  "guildId": "999",
+  "action": "react",
+  "channel": "discord",
   "channelId": "123",
-  "messageId": "456"
-}
-```
-
-```json
-{
-  "action": "fetchMessage",
-  "messageLink": "https://discord.com/channels/999/123/456"
-}
-```
-
-### Send/edit/delete a message
-
-```json
-{
-  "action": "sendMessage",
-  "to": "channel:123",
-  "content": "Hello from OpenClaw"
+  "messageId": "456",
+  "emoji": "✅"
 }
 ```
 
-**With media attachment:**
+Read:
 
 ```json
 {
-  "action": "sendMessage",
+  "action": "read",
+  "channel": "discord",
   "to": "channel:123",
-  "content": "Check out this audio!",
-  "mediaUrl": "file:///tmp/audio.mp3"
+  "limit": 20
 }
 ```
 
-- `to` uses format `channel:<id>` or `user:<id>` for DMs (not `channelId`!)
-- `mediaUrl` supports local files (`file:///path/to/file`) and remote URLs (`https://...`)
-- Optional `replyTo` with a message ID to reply to a specific message
+Edit / delete:
 
 ```json
 {
-  "action": "editMessage",
+  "action": "edit",
+  "channel": "discord",
   "channelId": "123",

-
-### Bot presence/activity (disabled by default)
-
-Set the bot's online status and activity. Enable via `discord.actions.presence: true`.
-
-Discord bots can only set `name`, `state`, `type`, and `url` on an activity. Other Activity fields (details, emoji, assets) are accepted by the gateway but silently ignored by Discord for bots.
-
-**How fields render by activity type:**
-
-- **playing, streaming, listening, watching, competing**: `activityName` is shown in the sidebar under the bot's name (e.g. "**with fire**" for type "playing" and name "with fire"). `activityState` is shown in the profile flyout.
-- **custom**: `activityName` is ignored. Only `activityState` is displayed as the status text in the sidebar.
-- **streaming**: `activityUrl` may be displayed or embedded by the client.
-
-**Set playing status:**
-
-```json
-{
-  "action": "setPresence",
-  "activityType": "playing",
-  "activityName": "with fire"
+  "query": "release notes",
+  "channelIds": ["123", "456"],
+  "limit": 10
 }
 ```
 
-Result in sidebar: "**with fire**". Flyout shows: "Playing: with fire"
-
-**With state (shown in flyout):**
+Presence (often gated):
 
 ```json
 {
-  "action": "setPresence",
+  "action": "set-presence",
+  "channel": "discord",
   "activityType": "playing",
-  "activityName": "My Game",
-  "activityState": "In the lobby"
+  "activityName": "with fire",
+  "status": "online"
 }
 ```
 
-Result in sidebar: "**My Game**". Flyout shows: "Playing: My Game (newline) In the lobby".
-
-**Set streaming (optional URL, may not render for bots):**

-## Discord Writing Style Guide
-
-**Keep it conversational!** Discord is a chat platform, not documentation.
-
-### Do
-
-- Short, punchy messages (1-3 sentences ideal)
-- Multiple quick replies > one wall of text
-- Use emoji for tone/emphasis 🦞
-- Lowercase casual style is fine
-- Break up info into digestible chunks
-- Match the energy of the conversation
-
-### Don't
-
-- No markdown tables (Discord renders them as ugly raw `| text |`)
-- No `## Headers` for casual chat (use **bold** or CAPS for emphasis)
-- Avoid multi-paragraph essays
-- Don't over-explain simple things
-- Skip the "I'd be happy to help!" fluff
-
-### Formatting that works
-
-- **bold** for emphasis
-- `code` for technical terms
-- Lists for multiple items
-- > quotes for referencing
-- Wrap multiple links in `<>` to suppress embeds
-
-### Example transformations
-
-❌ Bad:
-
-```
-I'd be happy to help with that! Here's a comprehensive overview of the versioning strategies available:
-
-## Semantic Versioning
-Semver uses MAJOR.MINOR.PATCH format where...
-
-## Calendar Versioning
-CalVer uses date-based versions like...
-```
-
-✅ Good:
-
-```
-versioning options: semver (1.2.3), calver (2026.01.04), or yolo (`latest` forever). what fits your release cadence?
-```
+- Short, conversational, low ceremony.
+- No markdown tables.
+- Mention users as `<@USER_ID>`.

-# Local Places
-
-This repo is a fusion of two pieces:
-
-- A FastAPI server that exposes endpoints for searching and resolving places via the Google Maps Places API.
-- A companion agent skill that explains how to use the API and can call it to find places efficiently.
-
-Together, the skill and server let an agent turn natural-language place queries into structured results quickly.
-
-## Run locally
-
-```bash
-# copy skill definition into the relevant folder (where the agent looks for it)
-# then run the server
-
-uv venv
-uv pip install -e ".[dev]"
-uv run --env-file .env uvicorn local_places.main:app --host 0.0.0.0 --reload
-```
-
-Open the API docs at http://127.0.0.1:8000/docs.
-
-## Places API
-
-Set the Google Places API key before running:
-
-```bash
-export GOOGLE_PLACES_API_KEY="your-key"
-```
-
-Endpoints:
-
-- `POST /places/search` (free-text query + filters)
-- `GET /places/{place_id}` (place details)
-- `POST /locations/resolve` (resolve a user-provided location string)
-
-Example search request:
-
-```json
-{
-  "query": "italian restaurant",
-  "filters": {
-    "types": ["restaurant"],
-    "open_now": true,
-    "min_rating": 4.0,
-    "price_levels": [1, 2]
-  },
-  "limit": 10
-}
-```
-
-Notes:
-
-- `filters.types` supports a single type (mapped to Google `includedType`).
-
-Example search request (curl):
-
-```bash
-curl -X POST http://127.0.0.1:8000/places/search \
-  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-  -d '{
-    "query": "italian restaurant",
-    "location_bias": {
-      "lat": 40.8065,
-      "lng": -73.9719,
-      "radius_m": 3000
-    },
-    "filters": {
-      "types": ["restaurant"],
-      "open_now": true,
-      "min_rating": 4.0,
-      "price_levels": [1, 2, 3]
-    },
-    "limit": 10
-  }'
-```
-
-Example resolve request (curl):
-
-```bash
-curl -X POST http://127.0.0.1:8000/locations/resolve \
-  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-  -d '{
-    "location_text": "Riverside Park, New York",
-    "limit": 5
-  }'
-```
-
-## Test
-
-```bash
-uv run pytest
-```
-
-## OpenAPI
-
-Generate the OpenAPI schema:
-
-```bash
-uv run python scripts/generate_openapi.py
-```

-# 📍 Local Places
-
-_Find places, Go fast_
-
-Search for nearby places using a local Google Places API proxy. Two-step flow: resolve location first, then search.
-
-## Setup
-
-```bash
-cd {baseDir}
-echo "GOOGLE_PLACES_API_KEY=your-key" > .env
-uv venv && uv pip install -e ".[dev]"
-uv run --env-file .env uvicorn local_places.main:app --host 127.0.0.1 --port 8000
-```
-
-Requires `GOOGLE_PLACES_API_KEY` in `.env` or environment.
-
-## Quick Start
-
-1. **Check server:** `curl http://127.0.0.1:8000/ping`
-
-2. **Resolve location:**
-
-```bash
-curl -X POST http://127.0.0.1:8000/locations/resolve \
-  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-  -d '{"location_text": "Soho, London", "limit": 5}'
-```
-
-3. **Search places:**
-
-```bash
-curl -X POST http://127.0.0.1:8000/places/search \
-  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-  -d '{
-    "query": "coffee shop",
-    "location_bias": {"lat": 51.5137, "lng": -0.1366, "radius_m": 1000},
-    "filters": {"open_now": true, "min_rating": 4.0},
-    "limit": 10
-  }'
-```
-
-4. **Get details:**
-
-```bash
-curl http://127.0.0.1:8000/places/{place_id}
-```
-
-## Conversation Flow
-
-1. If user says "near me" or gives vague location → resolve it first
-2. If multiple results → show numbered list, ask user to pick
-3. Ask for preferences: type, open now, rating, price level
-4. Search with `location_bias` from chosen location
-5. Present results with name, rating, address, open status
-6. Offer to fetch details or refine search
-
-## Filter Constraints
-
-- `filters.types`: exactly ONE type (e.g., "restaurant", "cafe", "gym")
-- `filters.price_levels`: integers 0-4 (0=free, 4=very expensive)
-- `filters.min_rating`: 0-5 in 0.5 increments
-- `filters.open_now`: boolean
-- `limit`: 1-20 for search, 1-10 for resolve
-- `location_bias.radius_m`: must be > 0
-
-## Response Format
-
-```json
-{
-  "results": [
-    {
-      "place_id": "ChIJ...",
-      "name": "Coffee Shop",
-      "address": "123 Main St",
-      "location": { "lat": 51.5, "lng": -0.1 },
-      "rating": 4.6,
-      "price_level": 2,
-      "types": ["cafe", "food"],
-      "open_now": true
-    }
-  ],
-  "next_page_token": "..."
-}
-```
-
-Use `next_page_token` as `page_token` in next request for more results.

+ * 3. The next connectBrowser() creates a completely new CDP WebSocket connection

+ * Regression test for #12098:
+ * `openclaw nodes run` times out after 35s because the CLI transport timeout
+ * (35s default) is shorter than the exec approval timeout (120s). The
+ * exec.approval.request call must use a transport timeout at least as long
+ * as the approval timeout so the gateway has enough time to collect the
+ * user's decision.
+ *
+ * The root cause: callGatewayCli reads opts.timeout for the transport timeout.
+ * Before the fix, nodes run called callGatewayCli("exec.approval.request", opts, ...)
+ * without overriding opts.timeout, so the 35s CLI default raced against the
+ * 120s approval wait on the gateway side. The CLI always lost.
+ *
+ * The fix: override the transport timeout for exec.approval.request to be at
+ * least approvalTimeoutMs + 10_000.

+ * gateway token/password vs device-token auth) while still sharing one
+ * limiter instance.
+ *
+ * Design decisions:
+ * - Pure in-memory Map – no external dependencies; suitable for a single
+ *   gateway process.  The Map is periodically pruned to avoid unbounded
+ *   growth.
+ * - Loopback addresses (127.0.0.1 / ::1) are exempt by default so that local
+ *   CLI sessions are never locked out.
+ * - The module is side-effect-free: callers create an instance via
+ *   {@link createAuthRateLimiter} and pass it where needed.

+# Bootstrap Extra Files Hook
+
+Loads additional bootstrap files into `Project Context` during `agent:bootstrap`.
+
+## Why
+
+Use this when your workspace has multiple context roots (for example monorepos) and
+you want to include extra `AGENTS.md`/`TOOLS.md`-class files without changing the
+workspace root.
+
+## Configuration
+
+```json
+{
+  "hooks": {
+    "internal": {
+      "enabled": true,
+      "entries": {
+        "bootstrap-extra-files": {
+          "enabled": true,
+          "paths": ["packages/*/AGENTS.md", "packages/*/TOOLS.md"]
+        }
+      }
+    }
+  }
+}
+```
+
+## Options
+
+- `paths` (string[]): preferred list of glob/path patterns.
+- `patterns` (string[]): alias of `paths`.
+- `files` (string[]): alias of `paths`.
+
+All paths are resolved from the workspace and must stay inside it (including realpath checks).
+Only recognized bootstrap basenames are loaded (`AGENTS.md`, `SOUL.md`, `TOOLS.md`,
+`IDENTITY.md`, `USER.md`, `HEARTBEAT.md`, `BOOTSTRAP.md`, `MEMORY.md`, `memory.md`).

-# SOUL Evil Hook
-
-Replaces the injected `SOUL.md` content with `SOUL_EVIL.md` during a daily purge window or by random chance.
-
-## What It Does
-
-When enabled and the trigger conditions match, the hook swaps the **injected** `SOUL.md` content before the system prompt is built. It does **not** modify files on disk.
-
-## Files
-
-- `SOUL.md` — normal persona (always read)
-- `SOUL_EVIL.md` — alternate persona (read only when triggered)
-
-You can change the filename via hook config.
-
-## Configuration
-
-Add this to your config (`~/.openclaw/openclaw.json`):
-
-```json
-{
-  "hooks": {
-    "internal": {
-      "enabled": true,
-      "entries": {
-        "soul-evil": {
-          "enabled": true,
-          "file": "SOUL_EVIL.md",
-          "chance": 0.1,
-          "purge": { "at": "21:00", "duration": "15m" }
-        }
-      }
-    }
-  }
-}
-```
-
-### Options
-
-- `file` (string): alternate SOUL filename (default: `SOUL_EVIL.md`)
-- `chance` (number 0–1): random chance per run to swap in SOUL_EVIL
-- `purge.at` (HH:mm): daily purge window start time (24h)
-- `purge.duration` (duration): window length (e.g. `30s`, `10m`, `1h`)
-
-**Precedence:** purge window wins over chance.
-
-## Requirements
-
-- `hooks.internal.entries.soul-evil.enabled` must be set to `true`
-
-## Enable
-
-```bash
-openclaw hooks enable soul-evil
-```

+ * The fix uses two patterns:

+/**
+ * Blockquote Spacing Tests
+ *
+ * Per CommonMark spec (§5.1 Block quotes), blockquotes are "container blocks" that
+ * contain other block-level elements (paragraphs, code blocks, etc.).
+ *
+ * In plaintext rendering, the expected spacing between block-level elements is
+ * a single blank line (double newline `\n\n`). This is the standard paragraph
+ * separation used throughout markdown.
+ *
+ * CORRECT behavior:
+ *   - Blockquote content followed by paragraph: "quote\n\nparagraph" (double \n)
+ *   - Two consecutive blockquotes: "first\n\nsecond" (double \n)
+ *
+ * BUG (current behavior):
+ *   - Produces triple newlines: "quote\n\n\nparagraph"
+ *
+ * Root cause:
+ *   1. `paragraph_close` inside blockquote adds `\n\n` (correct)
+ *   2. `blockquote_close` adds another `\n` (incorrect)
+ *   3. Result: `\n\n\n` (triple newlines - incorrect)
+ *
+ * The fix: `blockquote_close` should NOT add `\n` because:
+ *   - Blockquotes are container blocks, not leaf blocks
+ *   - The inner content (paragraph, heading, etc.) already provides block separation
+ *   - Container closings shouldn't add their own spacing

+/**
+ * Nested List Rendering Tests
+ *
+ * This test file documents and validates the expected behavior for nested lists
+ * when rendering Markdown to plain text.
+ *
+ * ## Expected Plain Text Behavior
+ *
+ * Per CommonMark spec, nested lists create a hierarchical structure. When rendering
+ * to plain text for messaging platforms, we expect:
+ *
+ * 1. **Indentation**: Each nesting level adds 2 spaces of indentation
+ * 2. **Bullet markers**: Bullet lists use "•" (Unicode bullet)
+ * 3. **Ordered markers**: Ordered lists use "N. " format
+ * 4. **Line endings**: Each list item ends with a single newline
+ * 5. **List termination**: A trailing newline after the entire list (for top-level only)
+ *
+ * ## markdown-it Token Sequence
+ *
+ * For nested lists, markdown-it emits tokens in this order:
+ * - bullet_list_open (outer)
+ *   - list_item_open
+ *     - paragraph_open (hidden=true for tight lists)
+ *       - inline (with text children)
+ *     - paragraph_close
+ *     - bullet_list_open (nested)
+ *       - list_item_open
+ *         - paragraph_open
+ *           - inline
+ *         - paragraph_close
+ *       - list_item_close
+ *     - bullet_list_close
+ *   - list_item_close
+ * - bullet_list_close
+ *
+ * The key insight is that nested lists appear INSIDE the parent list_item,
+ * between the paragraph and the list_item_close.

+ *   code:          `text` (inline) or ```text``` (block)
