+## Fetching Sessions and Transcripts
+
+Use these paths when a bug report references a chat session and you need the
+actual transcript, sender attribution, or attachments as evidence.
+
+CLI first (needs a configured install; safe against a live gateway):
+
+```bash
+openclaw sessions list --agent <agentId> --json
+openclaw sessions tail
+openclaw sessions export-trajectory
+```
+
+Docs: `docs/reference/database-schemas.md` for the store layout,
+https://docs.openclaw.ai/cli/sessions for the CLI.
+
+Raw store (when the CLI is unavailable, e.g. inspecting a remote host over
+SSH, or you need event-level detail):
+
+- Per-agent data plane: `~/.openclaw/agents/<agentId>/agent/openclaw-agent.sqlite`.
+  Canonical schema: `src/state/openclaw-agent-schema.sql`.
+- Web chat URLs end in a session-id fragment: `/chat/<agentId>/<slug>-<hex>`.
+  Resolve it in `session_nodes`: `session_key LIKE '%<hex>%'` →
+  `current_session_id`, `display_name`. Key shape is
+  `agent:<agentId>:<surface>:<uuid>`; subagent sessions use surface `subagent`.
+- Transcript: `transcript_events` (`session_id`, `seq`, `event_json`).
+  `event_json.message` has `role` (`user`/`assistant`/`toolResult`) and
+  `content` (string, or parts of type `text`/`toolCall`/`image`).
+- Sender provenance: real user messages carry `message.__openclaw`
+  (`senderId`, `senderName`, `senderIsOwner`); runtime-synthesized inputs do
+  not. Use this to separate operator-authored text from injected prompts.
+- Full-text search across transcripts: `session_transcript_fts`.
+- Attachments: `media://inbound/<file>` URLs map to
+  `~/.openclaw/media/inbound/<file>`.
+
+Hosts without a `sqlite3` binary still have Node: `node:sqlite` needs no
+dependencies.
+
+```bash
+node -e 'const {DatabaseSync}=require("node:sqlite");
+const db=new DatabaseSync(process.argv[1],{readOnly:true});
+console.log(JSON.stringify(db.prepare(
+  "SELECT seq,event_json FROM transcript_events WHERE session_id=? ORDER BY seq"
+).all(process.argv[2])))' <db-path> <session-id>
+```
+
+Always open live stores `readOnly: true`; never write a running gateway's
+state (see Validation rules in the root `AGENTS.md`). For realistic-data
+work, copy the DB into a dev state dir first.

    Re-run the canonical freshness check immediately before every `pnpm openclaw` restart or probe so the source runner cannot hide stale output with an implicit auto-build. Every pass, including a no-update/current-build pass, must run deep RPC status and verbose health. If that first probe fails while the build is already exact-current, perform one managed Gateway restart and repeat both probes once. Do not rebuild a current exact-SHA artifact merely to self-heal the managed process; fail and diagnose if the one restart does not recover it.

Target-only mode may stop the canonical `/Applications/OpenClaw.app` process and this checkout's exact `dist` process before launching the rebuilt `dist` app. It defers when another worktree, temporary bundle, test, or agent-owned OpenClaw process is active; it never kills that process.

 ## Execution Identity Audit
 
 - Execution identity is opt-in diagnostic provenance, never authorization or enforcement. Unknown facts stay unknown; record ingress or invoker facts only at their authoritative producer. Never infer identity from session keys, `runId`, or routing metadata.
+- Frozen ingress identity facts are diagnostic audit input, not session-ownership state. Session provenance must use the current canonical authenticated profile ID and never retain a profile display label; only explicitly enabled execution-identity audit storage may retain its bounded, redacted form.
+- Invoker evidence is tri-state: tagged principal-bearing input is `present`, tagged principal-less input is `unknown`, and omission alone is `absent`. Validate the closed raw variant before projection or field dropping; reject malformed, mixed, untagged, or extra-field input instead of normalizing it to `unknown` or absence.
 - Each outer admitted turn owns one immutable `executionId` and `contextId`; `runId` is non-unique correlation. Retries, fallbacks, and recovery reuse the original admission identity. Only byte-identical canonical replay is idempotent.
-- Admission may only validate, bound, freeze, and enqueue through the shared audit writer. No synchronous SQLite, schema, filesystem, HMAC-key, or readiness work. Audit failure never delays or aborts execution.
+- Decision receipts adapt owner-native durable decisions directly; `execution_decision_facts` is only for boundaries without an owner-native record and must never duplicate approvals. The generic fact store stays dormant until an explicit product-boundary producer exists, and any producer requires an explicit operator retention opt-in; the 30-day retention bound does not authorize default collection. Receipt coverage `enforced` is diagnostic, not authority: emit it only when the owner changed the outcome and the exact context/execution/run tuple validates; otherwise keep it `unknown`.
+- Admission may only validate, bound, freeze, and enqueue through the shared audit writer. Admission validates only a recursively owned, enumerable, accessor-free data snapshot constructed from descriptors before schema checks or ordinary property reads; inherited properties are absent and accessors never run. No synchronous SQLite, schema, filesystem, HMAC-key, or readiness work. Audit failure never delays or aborts execution.
 - Raw identity references are transient worker-message data. Never persist, export, inspect, or log them. Public Plugin SDK ingress must strip private recovery/admission authority, including JavaScript extra and inherited properties.
 - Default or disabled collection creates and propagates no identity token and does not create optional storage. Existing-storage maintenance may continue. Reads enforce expiry before projection; missing or expired evidence never proves no run occurred.
 - `audit.run.inspect` intentionally uses `operator.read` within one trusted Gateway domain. Reader isolation requires separate domains. Ask before changing this scope, default-off behavior, retained fields, 30-day cutoff, maintenance/row bounds, or schema/protocol contract.

 - Testbox mechanics: warm from the task checkout; ownership is checkout-path scoped; `--reclaim` only for intentional transfer, and it does not retarget the remote checkout — never cross repos. One lease, one active command; never sync/reclaim during a run; base/head changed means stop and rewarm — never override stale lease checks. Warmup must print a lease id; silent success is unusable — verify before reuse, else fall back to one-shot `run`. Wrapper reuse requires its local SSH key; missing after restart/handoff means warm fresh. Direct lease: `blacksmith testbox run`; Crabbox wrapper reuse needs a wrapper-created lease. Status/stop: `blacksmith testbox status|stop --id <tbx_id>` — id is not positional, no status `--json` flag. Delegated runs reject `--fresh-pr` and `--stop-after`; sync current checkout, workflow owns lifecycle. Compound commands: `bash -lc`, never `sh -lc`; job env uses Bash `declare`. Testbox owns Chromium; never pass Crabbox `--browser` to `provider=blacksmith-testbox`.
 - Crabbox mechanics: a Crabbox request means real scenario proof — install/update/call/repro the user path, not just copied tests run remotely. Final timing JSON = proof complete; if portal sync hangs after it, interrupt the wrapper only. Wrapper `stop` has no `--timing-json`; use `node scripts/crabbox-wrapper.mjs stop --provider <provider> --id <id>`. Sparse-sync temp checkout may claim a kept Testbox; repo-path reuse needs `--reclaim`. Dirty-sync generator proof: compare hashes before/after; `git diff` includes the synced patch.
 - Visual proof: use Crabbox, set up like a user, then screenshot-verify. No harness/bypass/shortcut unless explicitly asked.
+- UI-visible change (Control UI, native app, or user-visible chat/session behavior): before/after screenshots or a short video are mandatory PR evidence, captured from a real running surface and sanitized. UI proof infeasible: state the exact blocker in the PR.
+- Gateway-behavior change provable in the Control UI (session lifecycle, steering/queue, subagent flows, delivery states): prove on a live dev gateway — isolated `OPENCLAW_STATE_DIR`, own port, never the operator's gateway — and attach a video of the flow. Default recorder: Playwright `recordVideo` against the dashboard URL; keep the driving script's waits on asserted UI states, not sleeps.
 - In Codex or linked worktrees, direct local `pnpm test*`, `pnpm check*`, and `pnpm crabbox:run` can trigger pnpm dependency reconciliation or install prompts. Prefer `node` wrappers locally and Crabbox/Testbox for pnpm-gated proof.
 - Repo-native PR worktrees may omit `node_modules`; prove remotely, then use `git commit --no-verify`.
 - Release-branch formatting: Testbox or existing binary; never local `pnpm exec` reconciliation. Targeted local format/lint: existing `./node_modules/.bin/*`; never `pnpm exec` reconciliation.

 - GitHub issue/PR create: read `$agent-transcript`; ask about sanitized transcript logs when available.
 - Contributor PRs: parsed context requires authored `What Problem This Solves` and `Evidence` sections. Do not require field-level proof forms; reviewers inspect code, tests, and CI for correctness.
 - PR/issue images/video: `curl -s "https://uploads.github.com/user-attachments/assets?name=<f>&content_type=<mime>&repository_id=<id>" -X POST -H "Authorization: Bearer $(gh auth token)" -H "Accept: application/json" --data-binary @<f>`; embed returned `.url` as markdown. Same CDN as drag-drop; inherits repo visibility; no browser/computer use. 422 = unsupported type; 404 = bad repo id/no push. Non-media artifacts or endpoint failure: Crabbox artifact publishing plus the manifest URL. Never push proof assets to any product repo branch; do not commit `.github/pr-assets`.
+- Video proof upload: same endpoint, `content_type` `video/mp4` or `video/webm` (both verified served). Embed as the returned URL on its own bare line — GitHub renders a player; `![]()` image syntax does not. Playwright records webm; transcode `ffmpeg -i in.webm -c:v libx264 -pix_fmt yuv420p out.mp4` before upload for broad playback.
 - CI polling: exact SHA, relevant checks only, minimal fields. Skip routine noise (`Auto response`, `Labeler`, docs agents, performance/stale). Logs only after failure/completion or concrete need. Never `gh run watch`; its 3s polling exhausts API quota. Use sparse GraphQL rollups. Filter `gh run list` by workflow/branch/commit; broad JSON lists can exceed relay caps. Exact-SHA fallback dispatches require the full 40-character SHA.
 - CI waits: `node scripts/watch-pr-ci.mjs <pr> <head-sha>` — prechecks mergeable (CONFLICTING = pull_request CI cannot attach) and run attachment before polling; watchers emit every terminal state; no unbounded polls.
 - Trusted-workflow release-branch CI: pass `target_ref` + `release_candidate_ref`; never `release_gate` (requires workflow head == target).

 ### Fixes
 
+- **Control UI session companion:** load bounded visible session context before answering, keep unavailable questions retryable, and prevent private companion reference wrappers from appearing as answers. Fixes #120746. Thanks @shakkernerd.
+- **Telegram live locations:** expose initial, moving, and stopped live-location updates through the channel-neutral `message_received` hook without starting agent turns for edits.
 - **Updater plugin convergence:** keep pre-plugin doctor passes from installing configured plugins before the updater's plugin sweep, while preserving the final post-plugin migration pass and preventing ambient update-phase state from leaking into fresh doctor processes.
 - **Control UI browser tab identity:** keep selected tab styling, accessibility, focus, address, and page snapshot aligned across in-place navigation and tab reordering. Fixes #120745. Thanks @shakkernerd.
 - **Control UI staged attachments:** preserve unsent images, files, pasted images, and large pasted text across same-tab route and narrow split-pane remounts while keeping pane close, mismatched pane/session/Gateway remounts, application shutdown, and hard reload as cleanup boundaries. Fixes #121519. Thanks @shakkernerd.

 Why this shape is safer:
 
-- `agentId: "mail_reader"` keeps Gmail off the default agent.
+- The explicit `main` binding preserves existing channel ownership instead of leaving non-Gmail traffic ownerless. Use a specific `accountId` instead of `"*"` when only one account belongs to `main`.
+- `agentId: "mail_reader"` keeps Gmail off the `main` agent.
 - `allowedAgentIds` prevents this hook endpoint from selecting another agent. If the Gateway serves other hook workflows, include only their intended agent ids too.
 - `scope: "session"` gives each Gmail message its own sandbox; `workspaceAccess: "none"` keeps the host agent workspace out of that sandbox.
 - `allow: ["session_status"]` is an absolute per-agent clamp, so global `tools.alsoAllow` additions cannot leak into the reader. The minimal profile and explicit deny list make the intended boundary auditable.

 GitHub may mark superseded pull-request jobs as `cancelled` when a newer head lands. Treat that as CI noise unless the newest run for the same PR is also failing. Canonical `main` runs are not canceled after admission; when merge traffic arrives, GitHub replaces only the older pending run with the newest tip. Matrix jobs use `fail-fast: false`, and `build-artifacts` reports embedded channel, core-support-boundary, and gateway-watch failures directly instead of queuing tiny verifier jobs. The automatic CI concurrency key is versioned (`CI-v7-*`) so a GitHub-side zombie in an old queue group cannot indefinitely block newer main runs. Manual full-suite runs use `CI-manual-v1-*` and do not cancel in-progress runs. The plugin-list startup-memory guard keeps a 350 MiB ceiling on self-hosted Blacksmith Linux and allows 425 MiB on GitHub-hosted Linux, whose RSS baseline is higher for the same built CLI.

Its detailed sample separates workflow admission, job dependency/gate delay (`job.created_at` minus the first job's creation), runner queue/start latency (`job.started_at` minus `job.created_at`), and execution; it also reports critical-path ownership and the actual GitHub API request count. Reruns use attempt-specific jobs and are excluded from run-level wall/admission distributions because GitHub retains the original workflow creation time. Raise or lower the detailed-run selection cap with `--detail-runs` (a run with more than 100 jobs requires multiple requests), emit JSON to stdout with `--json`, or save the same report with `--output .artifacts/ci-timings/trend.json`; missing output directories are created automatically. The baseline must cover at least two comparison windows.

+Release screenshot routing is deliberately conservative because an app change can break deterministic App Store capture without breaking compilation. Pull requests and exact-head release gates run the full iPhone, iPad, and Watch matrix when the diff touches `apps/ios/**`, linked OpenClawKit or Swabble code, Apple Swift configuration, or the scripts used by screenshot capture. Ordinary manual CI and Full Release Validation always run that matrix. The screenshot decision is independent of macOS routing; a pure iOS app change does not select macOS jobs by itself.

 - **Workflow Sanity** runs `actionlint`, `zizmor` over all workflow YAML files, the composite-action interpolation guard, and the conflict-marker guard. The PR-scoped `security-fast` job also runs `zizmor` over changed workflow files so workflow security findings fail early in the main CI graph.
 - **Docs on `main` pushes** are checked by the standalone `Docs` workflow with the same ClawHub docs mirror used by CI, so mixed code+docs pushes do not also queue the CI `check-docs` shard. Pull requests and manual CI still run `check-docs` from CI when docs changed.
 - **TUI PTY** splits by proof ownership. The dedicated `core-runtime-tui-pty` Node shard owns the full real-backend suite against the exact-head built CLI. The `build-artifacts` job keeps only a local model roundtrip and a real Gateway connection canary, so every artifact boundary proves the built launcher without duplicating the full serial suite inside the build job.
+- **SQLite session lifecycle** runs the built-CLI migration, restart, compaction, cleanup, and session RPC proof only when the diff touches its direct storage/session owners or a reachable session path in the embedded runner. The dedicated `check-sqlite-session-lifecycle` job downloads the exact runtime produced by `build-artifacts`; manual and release dispatches always select it when the target contains the proof.
 - **CI routing-only edits, the small set of core-test fixtures the fast task runs directly, and narrow plugin contract helper edits** use a fast Node-only manifest path: `preflight`, `security-fast`, and only the fast lanes the change touches — a single `checks-fast-core` CI-routing task, the two plugin contract shards, or both. That path skips build artifacts, Node 22 compatibility, channel contracts, full core shards, bundled-plugin shards, and additional guard matrices.
 - **Windows Node checks** are scoped to Windows-specific process/path wrappers, npm/pnpm/UI runner helpers, package manager config, and the CI workflow surfaces that execute that lane; unrelated source, plugin, install-smoke, and test-only changes stay on the Linux Node lanes.

Compact packing uses hosted means to tail-balance regular 8-vCPU bins while retaining median admission and 4-vCPU striping weights, so recurrent slow tails rebalance without changing the bounded job count or post-pack runner advisory; the high-variance source/security group remains isolated so its tail does not serialize unrelated groups.
 - The full Node matrix admits the consistently slow serial tooling, auto-reply command shards, and broad core-fast cache writer first. This keeps the 28-job cap while preventing critical-path work and the next run's transform seed from slipping into a later wave.
+- The three serial Control UI browser shards greedily pack discovered test files by source byte size. This zero-state duration proxy avoids Vitest's equal-file-count hash clustering, automatically accounts for new and changed files, and preserves the same complete test inventory without adding runners.
 - Broad browser, QA, media, and miscellaneous plugin tests use their dedicated Vitest configs instead of the shared plugin catch-all. Include-pattern shards record timing entries using the CI shard name, so `.artifacts/vitest-shard-timings.json` can distinguish a whole config from a filtered shard.
 - Linux Node shard jobs persist Vitest's experimental filesystem module cache through the upstream Actions cache API, which Blacksmith transparently accelerates on its runners. Every CI shard is restore-only and unpacks the protected seed into its own runner-local root; the shard wrapper then gives concurrent Vitest processes separate live subdirectories. Only the non-cancelling daily or explicitly dispatched warmer saves a new immutable archive, so pull requests cannot publish transforms or mint per-PR cache families. The warmer launches each selected shard/config envelope in a fresh child process with concurrency one, preserving its include patterns and environment while reusing the same serial cache leaf. This prevents config-global state from leaking, avoids expanding filtered shards into whole configs, and retains transforms produced by the previous child. A transform-input fingerprint clears incompatible lockfile, package, tsconfig, and Vitest-config generations. The protected writer scans and prunes its restored cache to 75% after it exceeds 2 GiB. Vitest hashes module id, source content, environment, and resolved transform config, so ordinary partial source changes keep unchanged entries warm while changed modules miss safely. Coarse restore prefixes bridge workflow runs; normal Actions cache LRU and inactivity eviction bound old immutable archives.
-- Trusted Blacksmith Linux Node jobs also bind the pnpm store and `node_modules` from one protected dependency disk per supported Node line. GitHub-hosted jobs, including manual dispatches, fork pull requests, and same-repo retries of both UI E2E jobs, use the Actions cache path instead. Package manifests, install settings, runner platform, and the exact Node patch stay out of the disk key; an exact runtime and install-input fingerprint decides whether a job reuses the tree or reinstalls and refreshes the same disk. Manifests are canonicalized before hashing. The audited direct root hooks retain only pnpm's install lifecycle scripts, so formatting and ordinary test/build script edits keep the warm dependency tree; unaudited lifecycle-hook drift fails closed until its source inputs join the fingerprint contract. Dependency, package-manager, hook-source, and lockfile changes always invalidate the snapshot. A matching fingerprint is necessary but not sufficient: setup also checks the importer archive and manifest checksums, then verifies registry-backed lockfile dependencies retained by postinstall against the package manifests Node resolves from their importers. Missing or stale importer content falls back to a fresh install instead of serving the root hoist. A pull request whose read-only snapshot is unusable detaches the workspace bind and installs into runner-local storage, avoiding slow writes to a clone it cannot publish. Sticky cold installs disable pnpm's inner fetch retries and make up to three bounded full-install attempts from the progressively warmed store; a timeout remains a failure. After a content-validated restore or frozen-lockfile install, setup disables pnpm's redundant pre-run dependency check: the repository intentionally prunes plugin-local `node_modules`, which pnpm otherwise treats as stale and repairs through unsafe concurrent implicit installs during shard fanout. Canonical main preflight is the sole writer and measures the store on every refresh, running `pnpm store prune` only after retired package versions push it above 8 GiB. Blacksmith snapshot publication is asynchronous even after a writer job completes, so the first run after a fresh key or fingerprint can remain cold; later content-validated exact-marker restores are the rollout proof. Required Blacksmith CI jobs and first-attempt same-repo pull requests get disposable clones, so dependency changes do not create new disks, competing snapshots, or a cache lock that can cancel builds.

Validated warm restores no longer publish no-op snapshots: the writer uses StickyDisk's allocation-change mode, records its mount-time allocation baseline, and only a successful dependency capture creates a runner-local rebuild signal. After store pruning, preflight compares the final whole-disk allocation to that baseline and, when needed, allocates a bounded sentinel until the absolute delta has a verified 64 KiB margin over StickyDisk's 4 KiB threshold. Blacksmith snapshot publication is asynchronous even after a writer job completes, so the first run after a fresh key or fingerprint can remain cold; later content-validated exact-marker restores are the rollout proof. Required Blacksmith CI jobs and first-attempt same-repo pull requests get disposable clones, so dependency changes do not create new disks, competing snapshots, or a cache lock that can cancel builds.
 - Node shard and build-artifact jobs also restore Node's portable on-disk compile cache through immutable Actions caches. Independent `test` and `build` namespaces prevent their writers from replacing each other's archives: the scheduled test warmer owns the protected test seed, while `build-artifacts` may publish at most one protected build archive per UTC day from trusted `main` pushes. PR and ordinary test jobs only read protected snapshots, so feature-branch bytecode never enters the shared seed and PR traffic creates no cache archives. This reuses V8 bytecode for Node-loaded orchestration, build tooling, and external dependencies across different checkout paths, including when only part of the source graph changes. Vitest child processes disable an inherited compile cache because coverage can be enabled inside dynamic configs and V8 coverage can lose source-position precision when scripts are deserialized from bytecode.
-- The build-artifact job also persists content-fingerprinted `build-all` step outputs. CI's self-built plugin SDK declarations hash the complete repository-owned TypeScript/JSON source graph, exclude installed and generated directories, and restore both flat declarations and package bridges after `tsdown` clears `dist`. Documentation, workflow, plugin, and other changes outside that graph can reuse the declaration snapshot; source changes rebuild it before the export gate runs.

Documentation, workflow, plugin, and other changes outside that graph can reuse the declaration snapshot; source changes rebuild it before the export gate runs. The built Doctor plugin-index proof reuses that exact `dist/` output instead of invoking the E2E harness's fallback TypeScript build a second time.
 - Full declaration builds split `tsdown` into AI, workspace-package, and unified groups. Each group caches declarations only, then still rebuilds runtime JavaScript before restoring those declarations. Core or plugin changes therefore invalidate only the large unified graph, while workspace-package changes conservatively invalidate every dependent declaration group. Public full builds generally use an immutable Actions cache; coarse restore keys seed partial changes, per-group content fingerprints reject stale data, and GitHub's cache quota evicts old generations. The weekly Node 22 lane instead publishes a 14-day artifact after successful `main` runs and restores only artifacts whose immutable producer identity resolves to that workflow on `main`, avoiding quota churn without allowing PR code to write a shared cache. Private-QA declarations are never persisted in Actions caches because cache namespaces are not confidentiality boundaries.
 - `check-additional-*` stripes the supplemental boundary guard list (`scripts/run-additional-boundary-checks.mts`) into one prompt-heavy shard (`check-additional-boundaries-a`, which includes the Codex prompt snapshot drift check) and one combined shard for the remaining stripes (`check-additional-boundaries-bcd`), each running independent guards concurrently and printing per-check timings. Package-boundary compile/canary work stays together, and runtime topology architecture runs separately from the gateway watch coverage embedded in `build-artifacts`.
 - On the 32-vCPU self-hosted build runner, Gateway watch, channel tests, and the core support-boundary shard start together inside `build-artifacts` after `dist/` and `dist-runtime/` are already built. GitHub-hosted fallback runs keep Gateway watch serial so low-core contention cannot consume its readiness deadline. Both paths then run the two built TUI PTY artifact canaries alone; the dedicated Node shard owns the full serial suite.

 PR max-lines checks derive the baseline from the checked-out synthetic merge tree and verify its head parent against the event head. Manual runs use a unique concurrency group so a release-candidate full suite is not cancelled by another push or PR run on the same ref. The optional `target_ref` input lets a trusted caller run that graph against a branch, tag, or full commit SHA while using the workflow file from the selected dispatch ref; the max-lines baseline is compared with the target's merge base against the default-branch head resolved for that run. The `release_gate` input is an exact-SHA maintainer fallback for capacity-stalled PR CI: it requires `target_ref` to be a full commit SHA that matches the dispatched branch head and `pull_request_number` to identify the open PR whose merge tree is validated.

+## Restore a full archive
+
+Restore a complete archive into a fresh staging directory without touching the
+live state directory:
+
+```bash
+openclaw backup restore <archive.tar.gz> --target <fresh-directory>
+```
+
+The target must not exist or must be an empty directory. Restore verifies the
+archive and its SQLite databases before creating or writing the target, refuses
+a non-empty target, and removes an incomplete extraction if anything fails. It
+never restores in place and has no `--force` mode. The extracted layout retains
+the archive root, manifest, and `payload/` paths exactly as recorded in the
+archive.
+
+<Warning>
+  Restoring an archive is time travel. Messaging-channel credentials with
+  ratchet state, especially WhatsApp, may desynchronize after rollback and need
+  relinking. Approvals and delivery/dedupe state also roll back, so review
+  pending approvals before resuming the Gateway. Plugin `node_modules` trees
+  are not archived; after activation, run `openclaw plugins update <id>` or
+  reinstall with `openclaw plugins install <spec> --force`.
+</Warning>
+
+Activation is a separate offline operator step. Stop the Gateway, move the
+restored state asset into place or point `OPENCLAW_STATE_DIR` at that asset,
+then run `openclaw doctor` before restarting. Use `manifest.json` as the source
+of truth for the state, config, credentials, and workspace asset paths. See
+[Restore a full archive](/install/backups#restore-a-full-archive) for the full

 Snapshot repositories are local directories. Scheduling, upload, retention, incremental WAL bundles, failover, and restore-on-boot behavior are intentionally outside this command.
 
+## Versioned Git backups
+
+`openclaw backup git` stores deterministic, per-table JSONL dumps in a plain Git repository owned by the operator. One repository can hold the shared database and every per-agent database:
+
+```text
+global/manifest.json
+global/schema.sql
+global/tables/<table>.jsonl
+agents/<agentId>/manifest.json
+agents/<agentId>/schema.sql
+agents/<agentId>/tables/<table>.jsonl
+```
+
+Initialize the repository, then create a snapshot of all registered databases:
+
+```bash
+openclaw backup git init --repository ~/Backups/openclaw-git --remote <private-git-url>
+openclaw backup git create --repository ~/Backups/openclaw-git --all --push
+```
+
+The repository root must be owned by the current user and must not be group- or
+world-writable. OpenClaw checks this when initializing or adopting a repository
+and before every create. On POSIX systems, repair unsafe permissions with
+`chmod 700 <repository>` after confirming its ownership.
+
+The repository must be dedicated to OpenClaw backups. An existing `global/` or
+`agents/<agentId>/` scope is backup-owned only when it is empty or contains a
+valid schema-version-1 `manifest.json`. OpenClaw refuses to replace any other
+scope. With `--all`, it validates every existing entry under `agents/` before
+removing stale backup-owned agent scopes, so an unowned entry aborts the cleanup
+before anything is deleted.
+
+You can also select `--global`, repeat `--agent <id>`, or combine the shared database with selected agents. Snapshot creation uses the same online backup, sanitizer, `VACUUM`, owner validation, and integrity checks as `backup sqlite create`; it never reads live SQLite files directly. Rows and schema entries have deterministic ordering, and integers and blobs use lossless encodings. The command creates one commit named `openclaw backup <ISO8601>`. If the database content is unchanged, it prints `no changes` and creates no commit.
+
+Git staging is restricted to the backup-owned `global` and `agents` paths;
+unrelated files elsewhere in an adopted repository are never staged.
+
+`--push` pushes the current branch to `origin`. A push failure after a successful local commit is a warning and does not discard or mark the local backup as failed.
+
+<Warning>
+  Git history is durable. Without `--exclude-secrets`, snapshots include
+  credential material and any pushed remote must be private.
+
+`src/state/secret-state-tables.ts` is the source of truth for redaction. At this revision, `--exclude-secrets` omits these shared-state tables:
+
+- `audit_identity_keys`
+- `auth_profile_state`

+- `worker_environment_credentials`
+
+It omits these per-agent tables:
+
+- `auth_profile_state`
+- `auth_profile_store`
+- `session_suggestions`
+
+Restore reports the omitted tables so a redacted snapshot cannot be mistaken
+for a complete credential backup.
+</Warning>
+
+Inspect or verify history without changing the live databases:
+
+```bash
+openclaw backup git log --repository ~/Backups/openclaw-git --limit 20
+openclaw backup git verify --repository ~/Backups/openclaw-git --ref <commit> --global
+openclaw backup git verify --repository ~/Backups/openclaw-git --ref <commit> --agent main
+```
+
+Verification restores the selected snapshot into private scratch space, checks each table's row count and SHA-256, runs `PRAGMA integrity_check` and `PRAGMA foreign_key_check`, and removes the scratch copy. Restore writes only to a fresh target and refuses existing `-wal`, `-shm`, and `-journal` sidecars:
+
+```bash
+openclaw backup git restore --repository ~/Backups/openclaw-git --ref <commit> --global --target ./restored/openclaw.sqlite
+```
+
+Restore rebuilds content-backed FTS5 indexes after loading their content tables. It deliberately omits the derived `session_transcript_index_state` projection so Gateway startup reconciliation rebuilds transcript search. `vec0` virtual tables are not materialized because the extension is unavailable in the restore process; memory indexing recreates them and schedules a full reindex.
+
+## Schedule backups
+
+Provision one Gateway-owned automation with a fixed name:
+
+```bash
+openclaw backup enable --repository ~/Backups/openclaw-git --every 24h --push
+```
+
+The default scope is every database. Use `--global-only` or `--agent <id>` to narrow it, and add `--exclude-secrets` for a redacted history. Pushed schedules (`--push`) redact credential-bearing tables by default because an unattended recurring push retains them durably in remote history; pass `--include-secrets` for explicit full-fidelity remote backups (restores from redacted history need device re-pairing and provider re-authentication). `--push` also requires the repository to already have an `origin` remote. Re-running `backup enable` updates the existing automation instead of creating a duplicate. `openclaw backup disable` removes it; disabling an already-missing job is a successful no-op. Backup scheduling currently requires a local Gateway because the command job runs on the Gateway host; for a remote Gateway, create the cron job manually with `openclaw cron add`.
+
+## Recorded runs and freshness
+
+Every real archive, SQLite snapshot, and Git create attempt records a compact outcome in the existing shared state database. Dry runs are not recorded. The log retains the newest 200 attempts, so frequent schedules remain bounded.
+
+`openclaw status` shows one `Backups` overview row, and `openclaw status --json` includes the latest attempt and latest successful run. `openclaw doctor` prints an informational hint when no successful backup is recorded or the newest successful backup is more than 14 days old. Recording is best-effort: a record-write failure prints a warning but never changes a successful backup into a failed command.

+reported by `extension pair` or `extension cdp` after that wakeup. Browser-node

 `extension cdp --legacy-bearer` is a temporary migration escape hatch. It
 prints the old Bearer header with a warning only while
 `browser.extensionRelay.allowLegacyAuth=true`; otherwise it exits with an error
 without printing a credential. Use `--json` for machine output; warnings remain
 on stderr so stdout stays valid JSON.

+read_when:
+  - Pairing a new headless node with a Gateway
+  - Installing a node host from a join URL or setup code
+title: "Connect"
+---
+
+# `openclaw connect`
+
+Connect the current machine to an OpenClaw Gateway as a headless node. The
+command redeems a short-lived bootstrap credential, saves the Gateway endpoint
+in the existing node-host state, and runs the same runtime as
+[`openclaw node run`](/cli/node).
+
+## Create a join command
+
+On the Gateway host, use admin credentials to mint a single-use join URL:
+
+```bash
+openclaw devices join-code
+```
+
+The command prints the URL and a pasteable command:
+
+```bash
+npx openclaw connect https://gateway.example/j/<shortcode>
+```
+
+The shortcode has 128 bits of entropy, expires with the setup credential after
+about 10 minutes, and can be fetched exactly once. Mint another code if it
+expires or has already been used.
+
+## Connect in the foreground
+
+Paste the printed command on the machine you want to connect:
+
+```bash
+npx openclaw connect https://gateway.example/j/<shortcode>
+```
+
+Set the device name during enrollment when useful:
+
+```bash
+npx openclaw connect https://gateway.example/j/<shortcode> --display-name "Build Node"
+```
+
+The node stays in the foreground until you stop it.
+
+## Install as a service
+
+Pass `--service` to redeem the bootstrap credential and install the node host as
+the platform user service:
+
+```bash
+npx openclaw connect https://gateway.example/j/<shortcode> --service
+```
+
+OpenClaw completes the first authenticated connection before installing the
+service. The short-lived bootstrap token is never stored in the service command
+or node-host configuration; later starts use the durable paired-device token.
+Use [`openclaw node status`](/cli/node#service-background) to inspect the
+installed service.
+
+## Accepted targets
+
+`openclaw connect <target>` accepts:
+
+- an `https://<gateway>/j/<shortcode>` join URL;
+- an `oc-pair://<setup-code>` URL;
+- a bare base64url setup code.
+
+Join URLs must use HTTPS. Plain HTTP is accepted only for loopback Gateway URLs
+such as `http://127.0.0.1/j/<shortcode>`. Direct setup codes can carry the
+Gateway TLS certificate fingerprint, which lets the node host pin a self-signed
+Gateway certificate after decoding the payload.
+
+The payload determines the saved host, port, TLS mode, WebSocket context path,
+and ordered fallback endpoints. No additional `openclaw.json` keys are created.
+
+## Revocation behavior
+
+A join code and a paired device have separate lifecycles:
+
+- Burning or expiring a join code prevents another enrollment with that code.
+- It does not disconnect or remove a node that already redeemed it.
+- To revoke an enrolled machine, remove its paired device with
+  [`openclaw devices remove <deviceId>`](/cli/devices#openclaw-devices-remove-deviceid).
+
+## Troubleshooting
+
+If the join URL reports that it is missing or expired, mint a new one with
+`openclaw devices join-code`. A used code intentionally returns the same result
+as an unknown code.
+
+If an HTTPS join URL uses a certificate the local machine does not trust, use
+the direct `oc-pair://` or bare setup-code form that includes the TLS pin.
+
+See [Node](/cli/node) for service management, explicit connection flags, node
+state, and exec approval behavior.

 ### OAuth workflow

+OAuth is for HTTP MCP servers that advertise the MCP OAuth flow. Static `Authorization` headers are ignored for a server while `auth: "oauth"` is enabled. By default, OAuth credentials are shared and operator-managed. Credentials saved by `openclaw mcp login` work with embedded MCP, CLI runners, and the local Codex app-server.
 
 Native MCP OAuth sessions live in the owner-only shared SQLite database at `<state-dir>/state/openclaw.sqlite` (`mcp_oauth_stores`). The row can contain access and refresh tokens, dynamic client registration secrets, discovery metadata, and the temporary PKCE verifier. Refresh, login, and logout use the same SQLite lease, so parallel OpenClaw processes cannot consume one refresh token or resurrect a logged-out session.
 
 Upgrades from the retired `<state-dir>/mcp-oauth/*.json` store are handled only by `openclaw doctor --fix`. Runtime code never reads, writes, or falls back to those files.
 
-Until credentials are available, OpenClaw omits only that MCP server from the agent runtime instead of failing the agent turn. The operator, or an agent with shell access, can then run `openclaw mcp login <name>` and use the server on a later turn.
+Until shared credentials are available, OpenClaw omits only that MCP server from the agent runtime instead of failing the agent turn. The operator, or an agent with shell access, can then run `openclaw mcp login <name>` and use the server on a later turn.
 
 If a server rejects a token with `insufficient_scope`, OpenClaw preserves the requested scope and asks for `openclaw mcp login <name>` instead of repeating a refresh that cannot grant new scope. That login starts a new authorization request while keeping the previous token until replacement credentials are saved.
 
 When a remote MCP service is already backed by a separate OpenClaw refresh-capable auth profile, you can optionally set `oauth.authProfileId`. OpenClaw refreshes either credential source before runtime projection and passes only the current access token to the downstream MCP client.
 
+Set `oauth.identity: "per-requester"` when every authenticated sender should connect a separate account. Per-requester OAuth requires an HTTP server URL and cannot use `oauth.authProfileId`. Configure `gateway.publicOrigin` as the externally reachable HTTPS origin of the Gateway; HTTP is accepted only for literal loopback hosts (`localhost`, `127.0.0.1`, or `[::1]`) during local development. The provider redirects to `<gateway.publicOrigin>/oauth/mcp/callback` after authorization.
+
+```json5
+{
+  gateway: {
+    publicOrigin: "https://gateway.example.com",
+  },
+  mcp: {
+    servers: {
+      docs: {
+        url: "https://mcp.example.com/mcp",
+        transport: "streamable-http",
+        auth: "oauth",
+        oauth: {
+          identity: "per-requester",
+          scope: "docs.read",
+        },
+      },
+    },
+  },
+}
+```
+
+The per-requester flow is sender-driven:
+
+1. The sender calls a tool from the server before connecting an account.
+2. OpenClaw returns a sign-in link for that sender instead of exposing another sender's credentials.
+3. The provider redirects through the Gateway callback. After the callback succeeds, the sender retries the tool call with their connected account.
+
+If `gateway.publicOrigin` is missing, the sign-in result names that setting and `openclaw doctor` reports the same operator fix. `openclaw mcp login` and `openclaw mcp logout` remain operator-only commands for shared credentials; they do not manage per-requester accounts.
+
+Sign-in links are single-use bearer links: any chat participant who opens one connects their own account to the sender the link was issued for. Use per-requester OAuth in channels where every trusted sender is mutually trusted; a requester-private sign-in handoff is tracked as follow-up work.
+
+The shared operator flow uses the following commands:

+Gateway. For that local Gateway, `OPENCLAW_GATEWAY_PORT` takes precedence over
+the active port recorded by a running Gateway, which takes precedence over the
+configured or default `gateway.port`.
+
+An explicit target normally requires an explicit `--token` or `--password`;
+OpenClaw does not borrow credentials or a TLS pin from a different configured
+target. `resume` has one narrow exception for a handoff copied from the Control
+UI: when its Gateway URL byte-for-byte matches a canonical target of the current
+profile, it may reuse that profile's configured interactive auth, SecretRef,
+and stored exact-origin device auth. In local mode, the eligible targets are the
+current local target with `gateway.controlUi.basePath` and `gateway.publicOrigin`
+converted to WebSocket form with that base path. In remote mode, only the exact
+`gateway.remote.url` is eligible. TLS pin ownership is narrower: an exact
+direct-local target may reuse the
+local Gateway certificate fingerprint, and an exact configured remote target
+may reuse `gateway.remote.tlsFingerprint`; a public-origin target never inherits
+the local listener's pin. Pass `--tls-fingerprint` explicitly when that public
+origin needs a pin. A host, port, path, profile, query, or fragment mismatch
+fails closed under the normal explicit-target policy. OpenClaw never scans
+other profiles for a match. Handoff connections also ignore ambient
+`OPENCLAW_GATEWAY_TOKEN` and `OPENCLAW_GATEWAY_PASSWORD` fallback, so shell
+credentials for another Gateway cannot cross into the selected target. Explicit
+flags and credentials owned by an exact configured target remain eligible.
+
+## Continue from the Control UI
+
+Open the selected session's header menu and choose **Continue in terminal…**.
+The dialog shows one copyable `openclaw resume --handoff <payload>` command.
+The opaque payload is versioned, bounded, and encoded with an unpadded URL-safe
+base64 alphabet, so the command needs no quoting and is safe to paste in common
+POSIX shells, PowerShell, and `cmd.exe`. The encoded argument is limited to 4096
+characters; inside it, the agent-qualified session key is limited to 512
+user-perceived characters and the Gateway URL to 2048 characters. It contains
+only the exact qualified session key and selected Gateway WebSocket URL,
+including any Control UI base path. It contains no token, password, device
+credential, or bootstrap credential, and the browser does not execute it.
+
+The Control UI does not offer this command when the selected Gateway URL uses a
+query string. Gateway authentication and stored device scope are origin-based,
+not query-aware, so OpenClaw never strips or copies that query into a
+credential-free handoff. Use a manually authenticated CLI target with explicit
+`--token` or `--password`, or configure a queryless Gateway URL.
+
+Run the command in an already configured OpenClaw terminal. The terminal
+authenticates independently. Before opening the TUI, `resume` asks that Gateway
+to resolve the qualified key and uses the returned canonical key. A deleted or
+stale session stops with guidance to copy a fresh command; it never starts a new
+session. The Gateway's session access controls remain authoritative. This flow
+continues an existing session; it does not delegate first-use authentication
+from the browser.
+
+If OpenClaw reports an invalid `--handoff` payload, return to the session's
+Control UI menu and copy a fresh command. Do not edit or reuse a truncated
+payload.

 Cloud workers let a session run its agent loop on a throwaway cloud machine while everything about the session stays where it always was: visible in the sidebar, streaming live, with the transcript owned by the Gateway. The Gateway leases a box, installs a pinned copy of OpenClaw on it, syncs the session's workspace over, and hands the turn loop to a restricted `openclaw worker` process. Model calls are proxied back through the Gateway, so provider credentials never leave your machine, and prompt caching keeps working because the provider sees one continuous stream.

 Placement moves through a durable state machine (`local → requested → provisioning → syncing → starting → active`), so a Gateway restart mid-dispatch reconciles instead of leaking machines. A failed model turn keeps the active placement available for a retry. Workspace path conflicts keep the local version, apply the rest of the cloud result, and preserve the staged cloud ref for inspection; other reconciliation or lifecycle failures retain their durable recovery fence and diagnostic tail until recovery can safely retry or reclaim the environment.
 
+## What survives a dead machine
+
+The Gateway commits each complete user, assistant, and tool-result message to the canonical session transcript before the worker's session write settles. Commits are ordered and idempotent against the exact transcript leaf. If the machine disappears mid-message, durable history ends at the last committed message. Partial text or tool progress already shown by the live stream may disappear; the failed turn remains visible, and the failed placement records a bounded terminal reason above the composer.
+
+Workspace state has a wider loss window. A completed turn reconciles worker files before releasing its claim, and **Stop cloud worker…** performs one final reconciliation before destroying the machine. Changes made between reconciliations exist only on the worker and can be lost. Session deletion does not synchronize a live worker: active placements must first be stopped or archived. Deletion then snapshots the already-reconciled managed worktree under `refs/openclaw/snapshots/` before removing it.
+
+After a failed placement, redispatch the session and retry the turn. A reclaimed placement redispatches automatically on the next turn. The new worker rebuilds its inference context from the Gateway transcript, so it continues from the messages that crossed the durability boundary.

+## Desktop

+The host desktop source lets the Control UI Desktop panel connect to the Gateway
+machine. It can attach to an existing loopback RFB server, or supervise a
+headless TigerVNC/XFCE desktop on Linux. It is a Labs feature and is off by

+    host: {
+      enabled: true,
+      managed: true,
+      // port: 5900, // Setting a port selects attach mode instead.
+      // passwordFile: "/path/to/vnc-password.txt",
+    },
+  },
+}
+```
+
+- `desktop.host.enabled`: advertises **This machine** as a desktop source after
+  the Gateway restarts.
+- `desktop.host.managed`: Linux only. Starts a gateway-supervised, loopback-only
+  TigerVNC/XFCE desktop lazily on the first observation and stops it after the
+  desktop session's linger period. Default: `false`.
+- `desktop.host.port`: loopback RFB port on `127.0.0.1` (default: `5900`).
+- `desktop.host.passwordFile`: optional UTF-8 VNC password file for attach mode.
+  Without it, the Control UI prompts for a VNC password and keeps it in browser
+  memory for that connection. Managed mode always creates its own ephemeral
+  password.
+
+OpenClaw connects only through loopback. An explicit `port` always selects
+attach mode, and an existing RFB listener on port `5900` takes precedence over
+managed mode. Managed mode requires `Xtigervnc`, `tigervncpasswd`, and
+`startxfce4`; on Debian/Ubuntu, install
+`tigervnc-standalone-server tigervnc-tools xfce4-session`. The Gateway creates a
+fresh temporary VNC password for each managed session, never persists it, and
+supervises both the VNC server and XFCE session.
+
+Without managed mode, configure third-party servers to listen on loopback when
+they support it. On Linux, use loopback-only TigerVNC or `x11vnc`; GNOME Remote
+Desktop's VeNCrypt mode is not supported. On Windows, enable VNC authentication
+and loopback access in the VNC server.
+
+On macOS, enable **System Settings → General → Sharing → Screen Sharing**.
+Modern Screen Sharing uses ARD account authentication, so the Gateway performs
+that handshake and gives the browser an already-authenticated no-auth RFB
+stream. The macOS account password is not returned in the observe result, URL,
+or logs. `openclaw doctor` can offer an explicitly confirmed `sudo launchctl`
+repair when Screen Sharing is off; enabling the macOS system service may expose
+it on other network interfaces according to macOS Sharing settings.
+
+### Paired node desktops
+
+A paired macOS, Windows, or Linux node can expose its own desktop in the same
+Control UI Desktop panel. This path is intentionally off by default and always
+uses an existing node-local RFB server on `127.0.0.1`; the Gateway never asks a
+node to connect to a caller-selected host or port.
+
+On the node machine, enable the desktop source and configure attach mode:
+
+```json5
+{
+  desktop: {
+    host: {
+      enabled: true,
+      port: 5900,
+      // passwordFile: "/path/to/vnc-password.txt",
+    },
+  },
+}
+```
+
+Restart the node host after changing this config. `managed: true` is a Gateway
+host feature and does not start a managed desktop inside a node host; paired
+nodes must already have a loopback RFB server.
+
+On the Gateway, explicitly arm the dangerous command and restart:
+
+```json5
+{
+  gateway: {
+    nodes: {
+      commands: {
+        allow: ["desktop.stream"],
+        // deny: ["desktop.stream"], // deny always wins
+      },
+    },
+  },
+}
+```
+
+The node reconnect advertises `desktop.stream` as a pairing-surface upgrade.
+Inspect `openclaw nodes pending`, then approve the new request with
+`openclaw nodes approve <requestId>`. The node appears in the Desktop picker
+only while it is connected and the effective approved command remains allowed.
+
+For VncAuth, `desktop.host.passwordFile` stays on the node and is delivered only
+to the Gateway's authenticated relay. Without a password file, the Control UI
+prompts for the VNC password. macOS ARD credentials are always prompted per
+observation. The Gateway completes ARD or VNC authentication before exposing a
+no-auth RFB handshake to the browser, so credentials are not returned in URLs,
+logs, or RPC results.
+
+Desktop bytes use a dedicated outbound binary WebSocket from the node. The
+normal node invoke remains only as the cancellable lifecycle handle and never
+carries framebuffer data. Reconnecting or changing the node's pairing
+generation closes active relays. To disarm the feature, remove
+`desktop.stream` from `commands.allow` or add it to `commands.deny`, restart the
+Gateway, and reconnect the node.
+
+If the node is missing from the picker, verify all four gates: the node-local
+desktop config, the loopback RFB listener, the approved pairing update, and the
+Gateway allow/deny policy. After changing any of them, restart the affected
+Gateway or node host and check `openclaw nodes pending` again.

+`/startupz` returns `503` with `status: "starting"` while startup sidecars are pending, `503` with `status: "draining"` during drain, and `200` with `status: "started"` otherwise. Use it for Kubernetes, Fly, Render, and similar traffic admission. A broken Telegram or other channel account can make `/readyz` return `503` without taking a healthy Control UI out of service through `/startupz`.
+
+Remote unauthenticated startup responses contain only `ok` and `status`. Local-direct and authenticated callers also receive `version`, `uptimeMs`, and `pendingReason` while startup is pending. Readiness details follow the same local-or-authenticated gate because they can name failing subsystems.

+## Versioned backups to a Git repository
+
+Git-backed backups dump each selected database into deterministic `schema.sql`,

+whole run. Unchanged database content produces no commit, so Git stores and
+pushes only content changes by construction. OpenClaw stages only the
+backup-owned `global` and `agents` paths, not unrelated files elsewhere in the
+repository.
+
+```bash
+openclaw backup git init --repository ~/Backups/openclaw-git --remote <private-git-url>

+Use a repository dedicated to OpenClaw backups. Existing `global/` and

+`--all` run validates every existing agent scope before deleting stale
+backup-owned entries.
+
+The repository root must be owned by the current user and must not be group- or
+world-writable. This is checked during init and every create. On POSIX systems,
+confirm ownership and run `chmod 700 <repository>` to repair unsafe permissions.
+
+The repository is ordinary Git and can use any remote, including GitHub. Keep
+the remote private: the default dump includes auth profiles, tokens, and other
+credential-bearing state. `--exclude-secrets` omits the documented secret
+tables when a redacted history is more useful than a credential-complete

+### Restore a full archive
+
+Start only from an archive you created or otherwise trust. `openclaw backup
+verify` checks archive structure and payload layout, but it does not
+authenticate the archive or make untrusted content safe.
+
+Before a full restore, review [What gets backed
+up](/cli/backup#what-gets-backed-up). Then verify and extract into a fresh
+staging directory with one command:
+
+```bash
+ARCHIVE=./2026-03-09T08-00-00.000+08-00-openclaw-backup.tar.gz
+openclaw backup restore "$ARCHIVE" --target ./restored-openclaw
+```
+
+The target must not exist or must be empty. OpenClaw verifies archive structure,
+the manifest, hardlinks, and SQLite databases before it writes the target. A
+non-empty target is refused, and a failed extraction cleans its incomplete
+output. The command never touches the live state directory and has no force or
+in-place mode. Treat the restored directory as sensitive: it can contain
+credentials, auth profiles, sessions, and workspace data.
+
+<Warning>
+  Restoring an archive is time travel. Messaging-channel credentials with
+  ratchet state, especially WhatsApp, may desynchronize after rollback and need
+  relinking. Approvals and delivery/dedupe state also roll back, so review
+  pending approvals before resuming the Gateway. Plugin `node_modules` trees
+  are not archived; after activation, run `openclaw plugins update <id>` or
+  reinstall with `openclaw plugins install <spec> --force`.
+</Warning>
+
+The manifest records `archiveRoot`, the original paths under `paths`, and an
+`assets[]` list. Each asset includes its `kind`, original `sourcePath`, and
+`archivePath` inside the tarball. Use those fields as the source of truth; do
+not derive the archive root from the archive filename.
+
+The archive layout is:
+
+```text
+<archive-root>/manifest.json
+<archive-root>/payload/posix/<absolute-source-path-without-leading-slash>/...
+<archive-root>/payload/windows/<DRIVE>/<rest>/...
+<archive-root>/payload/relative/<relative-source-path>/...
+```
+
+To activate, stop the Gateway and any node hosts that use the restored files.
+Make a fresh backup of current state or move it aside. Then move the extracted
+state asset into place, or point `OPENCLAW_STATE_DIR` at that asset, and run
+`openclaw doctor` before restarting the Gateway. On a new machine or under a
+different home directory, use the manifest to map config, credentials, and
+workspace assets to their new paths. See [Updating](/install/updating#rollback)
+for the rollback workflow.
+
+### Restore a database
+
+For a snapshot, `openclaw backup sqlite restore <snapshot-directory> --target
+<new-database-path>` writes a re-verified database to a fresh target. For Git
+history, `openclaw backup git restore --repository <dir> --ref <commit>
+(--global | --agent <id>) --target <new-database-path>` materializes and
+verifies a fresh database. For Litestream, `litestream restore` writes a fresh
+database file. Move the result into place while the Gateway is stopped, then
+start the Gateway and check `openclaw health` and `openclaw doctor`.
 
 After restoring onto a different OpenClaw version, preflight the database
 first with `openclaw database preflight`; see

+summary: "Experimental Cloudflare Worker and Container deployment with Litestream backups to R2"
+title: "Cloudflare Containers"
+read_when:
+  - You want to run OpenClaw on Cloudflare Containers
+  - You are evaluating R2-backed SQLite recovery on ephemeral containers
+  - You need to choose between webhook scale-to-zero and always-on channels
+---
+
+Run one OpenClaw installation behind a Cloudflare Worker and a named Durable Object, with the official OpenClaw image and Litestream replication to R2.
+
+<Warning>
+  This deployment target is experimental. Litestream protects SQLite databases, not the complete OpenClaw state directory. Read [Limits and recovery](#limits-and-recovery) before using production credentials.
+</Warning>
+
+## What you need
+
+- A Cloudflare account with Workers, Containers, and R2 available
+- Docker Buildx with `linux/amd64` support
+- A public Docker Hub repository for the derived image
+- Node.js and npm
+- Provider and channel credentials for your OpenClaw setup
+
+The template lives in [`scripts/cloudflare`](https://github.com/openclaw/openclaw/tree/main/scripts/cloudflare). It deploys a `standard-2` Container with `max_instances: 1`.
+
+## How it works
+
+The Worker forwards every HTTP and WebSocket request to one stable Durable Object name. That Durable Object owns one Container instance and is the single-writer fence around the Litestream replica. The Container exposes OpenClaw on port `8080`; `/startupz` is its traffic-readiness check.
+
+```mermaid
+flowchart TD
+    client[Channels, browsers, API clients]
+    worker[Cloudflare Worker]
+    durable[Durable Object, one stable name]
+    container[Container running the OpenClaw Gateway on 8080]
+    litestream[Litestream sidecar process]
+    r2[(R2 bucket of SQLite replicas)]
+
+    client --> worker
+    worker --> durable
+    durable --> container
+    container --> litestream
+    litestream -- continuous WAL streaming --> r2
+    r2 -- restore on boot --> container
+```
+
+Litestream watches both SQLite roots:
+
+- `/home/node/.openclaw/state/*.sqlite`
+- `/home/node/.openclaw/agents/**/*.sqlite`
+
+At boot, the entrypoint uses R2's S3 `ListObjectsV2` API as the restore manifest, rejects paths outside those roots, restores each discovered database, and only then starts the Gateway.
+
+Measured on this template against a real R2 bucket: about 2.4 seconds from write to replica, and about 9 seconds to restore both databases into a fresh Container that reached a healthy Gateway roughly 13 seconds after start. Treat these as order-of-magnitude expectations, not guarantees.
+
+## Deploy
+
+<Steps>
+  <Step title="Prepare the template">
+    Clone OpenClaw and enter the template directory:
+
+    ```bash
+    git clone https://github.com/openclaw/openclaw.git
+    cd openclaw/scripts/cloudflare
+    npm install
+    npx wrangler login
+    npx wrangler whoami
+    ```
+
+    Confirm that Wrangler selected the intended Cloudflare account before creating resources.
+
+  </Step>
+
+  <Step title="Create R2 storage">
+    Create the bucket:
+
+    ```bash
+    npx wrangler r2 bucket create openclaw-backups
+    ```
+
+    In the Cloudflare dashboard, create an R2 API token with object read/write access limited to that bucket. Keep the access key ID and secret access key out of the checkout.
+
+    In `wrangler.jsonc`, replace `<account-id>` in the endpoint. If you use another bucket name, update both `LITESTREAM_BUCKET` and `r2_buckets[].bucket_name`.
+
+    The R2 binding is for Worker-side access and documentation completeness. Litestream cannot use a Worker binding from inside the Container; it uses R2's S3 endpoint and credentials passed through Worker secrets.
+
+  </Step>
+
+  <Step title="Publish the Container image">
+    Replace `<official-openclaw-image-digest>` in `Dockerfile` with an immutable digest from the official [`openclaw/openclaw`](https://hub.docker.com/r/openclaw/openclaw) Docker Hub repository.
+
+    Build the derived image for Cloudflare's required architecture and push it to a public Docker Hub repository:
+
+    ```bash
+    docker buildx build \
+      --platform linux/amd64 \
+      --tag docker.io/<docker-hub-user>/openclaw-cloudflare:<version> \
+      --push \
+      .
+    docker buildx imagetools inspect \
+      docker.io/<docker-hub-user>/openclaw-cloudflare:<version>
+    ```
+
+    Replace the `containers[].image` placeholder in `wrangler.jsonc` with the resulting immutable `docker.io/...@sha256:...` reference. Cloudflare Containers can pull public Docker Hub images directly; GHCR is not a supported source for this template.
+
+  </Step>
+
+  <Step title="Deploy the Worker and Container">
+    Compile the Worker and deploy it:
+
+    ```bash
+    npm run check
+    npm run deploy
+    ```
+
+    The first deployment creates the Worker, the SQLite-backed Durable Object class, the Container application, and the R2 binding.
+
+  </Step>
+
+  <Step title="Set runtime secrets">
+    Add the R2 and Gateway credentials through Wrangler's secret prompt:
+
+    ```bash
+    npx wrangler secret put LITESTREAM_ACCESS_KEY_ID
+    npx wrangler secret put LITESTREAM_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY
+    npx wrangler secret put OPENCLAW_GATEWAY_TOKEN
+    ```
+
+    Add provider and channel variables as needed. For example:
+
+    ```bash
+    npx wrangler secret put OPENAI_API_KEY
+    npx wrangler secret put TELEGRAM_BOT_TOKEN
+    ```
+
+    `src/container.ts` passes an explicit allowlist of environment variables to the Container. Add another name there before using a different environment-backed credential.
+
+  </Step>
+
+  <Step title="Bootstrap OpenClaw">
+    First boot needs one interactive session inside the Container. SSH access ships disabled; enable it temporarily by adding this to the container entry in `wrangler.jsonc`, then redeploy:
+
+    ```jsonc
+    "ssh": { "enabled": true }
+    ```
+
+    Open the deployed Worker URL once to start the instance. Then locate the application and instance IDs and connect:
+
+    ```bash
+    npx wrangler containers list
+    npx wrangler containers instances <application-id> --json
+    npx wrangler containers ssh <instance-id>
+    ```
+
+    SSH is wrangler-mediated and limited to accounts with container write access. After bootstrap you can remove the `ssh` block and redeploy; the restored state survives the replacement via Litestream.
+
+    Inside the Container, run a SecretRef-based setup. This example uses OpenAI and Telegram:
+
+    ```bash
+    cd /app
+    node openclaw.mjs onboard --non-interactive --accept-risk --skip-health \
+      --mode local \
+      --auth-choice openai-api-key \
+      --secret-input-mode ref \
+      --gateway-auth token \
+      --gateway-token-ref-env OPENCLAW_GATEWAY_TOKEN \
+      --skip-channels \
+      --no-install-daemon
+    node openclaw.mjs channels add --channel telegram --use-env
+    node openclaw.mjs doctor --json
+    ```
+
+    Keep your exact bootstrap recipe in a private, reproducible runbook. A fresh Container disk does not retain the generated config.
+
+  </Step>
+</Steps>
+
+## Verify the deployment
+
+Run these checks after the first bootstrap, before you depend on this deployment.
+
+Confirm the Gateway admits traffic. `/startupz` reports startup completion and ignores channel health, so it stays green when one channel account is broken:
+
+```bash
+curl -sS https://<worker-subdomain>.workers.dev/startupz
+curl -sS -H "Authorization: Bearer $OPENCLAW_GATEWAY_TOKEN" \
+  https://<worker-subdomain>.workers.dev/readyz
+```
+
+Confirm replication is actually reaching R2. Objects should appear under `replicas/` within seconds of activity:
+
+```bash
+npx wrangler r2 object get openclaw-backups/replicas --remote 2>/dev/null || true
+npx wrangler r2 bucket list
+```
+
+Rehearse recovery before you need it. An untested restore path is not a backup:
+
+1. Send one message so the Gateway writes a session row.
+2. Wait about ten seconds for replication.
+3. Delete the Container instance, or redeploy to force replacement.
+4. Reopen the Worker URL and confirm the conversation still exists.
+
+If step 4 loses data, stop and fix replication before connecting production channels.
+
+## Cost and sizing
+
+Containers require the Workers Paid plan. Memory and disk bill on the resources **provisioned** for the instance type for as long as the Container is awake; CPU bills on active use only.
+
+The default `standard-2` instance provisions 1 vCPU, 6 GiB memory, and 12 GB disk. Running it always-on for a full month is therefore dominated by provisioned memory rather than by how busy the agent is. At the published rates, that is roughly 40 to 50 US dollars per month including the plan fee, mostly memory, before egress.
+
+This matters for the lifecycle decision below:
+
+- **Socket channels keep the Container awake**, so they pay the always-on rate. A small always-on virtual machine is often cheaper. Choose Cloudflare here for its operational model, colocation with other Cloudflare services, or the R2 durability path, not to save money.
+- **Webhook-only installations sleep**, and a sleeping Container bills nothing. That is where this target is genuinely inexpensive.
+
+Verify current rates on [Cloudflare's Containers pricing page](https://developers.cloudflare.com/containers/pricing/) before committing; these figures are estimates from the published rate card and change independently of OpenClaw.
+
+## Observability
+
+Stream Worker and Container logs while reproducing an issue:
+
+```bash
+npx wrangler tail
+npx wrangler containers list
+npx wrangler containers instances <application-id> --json
+```
+
+Gateway logs stay inside the Container. Reach them over the temporary SSH session described in the bootstrap step, or forward them to your own collector. The Container filesystem is ephemeral, so treat in-Container logs as debugging output rather than as a durable record.
+
+## Choose the lifecycle mode
+
+`OPENCLAW_WEBHOOK_ONLY` defaults to `false`, which keeps the Container running through idle periods. Keep this default for channels that maintain sockets or long-lived processes, including:
+
+- Discord
+- Slack Socket Mode
+- WhatsApp
+
+Set `OPENCLAW_WEBHOOK_ONLY` to `true` only when every enabled channel receives traffic through HTTP webhooks. In that mode, the Container stops after ten idle minutes and cold-starts on the next request.
+
+<Warning>
+  Scale-to-zero starts with a fresh disk. Enable it only when an external process can reapply your declarative bootstrap. Litestream restores SQLite but cannot recreate `openclaw.json`, credential files, installed plugins, or workspaces.
+</Warning>
+
+## Limits and recovery
+
+- **Single writer:** every request resolves the same Durable Object name, and Cloudflare runs one live Durable Object instance for that name. Do not increase `max_instances` or introduce alternate routing around this fence. A brief old/new Container overlap during a platform replacement or rollout is an accepted experimental tradeoff.
+- **Recovery point:** the one-second Litestream sync interval normally produces a seconds-scale RPO. It is not synchronous replication, and abrupt termination can lose writes that have not reached R2.
+- **Ephemeral disk:** every sleep, replacement, or host restart starts from the image plus the restored SQLite databases. Use [full OpenClaw archives](/install/backups#full-archives) for config, credential files, plugin files, and workspaces.
+- **Rollback:** older database bytes are time travel. Ratcheting channel credentials, especially WhatsApp, can desynchronize; approvals and delivery/dedupe state also roll back. Relink affected channels and review pending approvals before resuming. See [Restore](/install/backups#restore).
+- **WebSockets:** Worker and Container proxying supports WebSockets. Cloudflare limits each received WebSocket message to 32 MiB.
+- **Egress:** outbound requests use shared Cloudflare IP space. This target does not provide a fixed egress address.
+- **Provider boundary:** this is a deployment template, not an OpenClaw `cloudWorkers` provider. Its operator SSH access does not implement that provider's SSH execution contract.
+
+## Update
+
+Build a new derived image from a new immutable official OpenClaw digest, push it, update the derived digest in `wrangler.jsonc`, and deploy:
+
+```bash
+npm run check
+npm run deploy
+```
+
+Test updates and rollbacks against a separate R2 bucket first. Preserve current state before activating older bytes.
+
+## Troubleshooting
+
+**Worker returns 5xx and the Container never becomes ready** -- Cloudflare only runs `linux/amd64` images pulled from a public registry. Rebuild with `--platform linux/amd64`, confirm the derived Docker Hub repository is public, and confirm `containers[].image` uses the pushed digest rather than a moving tag.
+
+**Deployment succeeds but every request times out** -- The Container helper waits for `GET /startupz`. Check that the Gateway inside the Container listens on port `8080` and that no bootstrap step changed the port.
+
+**Litestream logs authentication or signature errors** -- Litestream needs R2 S3 API credentials, which are not the same as a Cloudflare API token. Create an R2 API token and use its access key ID and secret access key, and confirm `LITESTREAM_ENDPOINT` contains your account ID.
+
+**First boot logs no databases to restore** -- Expected on an empty bucket. The entrypoint treats an empty replica listing as a fresh installation and starts the Gateway normally.
+
+**`/readyz` returns 503 while `/startupz` returns 200** -- Working as designed. Startup finished, and a configured channel account is unhealthy. Inspect channel status rather than restarting the Container; see [Health checks](/gateway/health#http-probes).
+
+**`wrangler containers ssh` is rejected** -- SSH ships disabled. Add `"ssh": { "enabled": true }` to the container entry, redeploy, then connect.
+
+**Configuration disappeared after a sleep or a redeploy** -- Litestream restores SQLite databases only. `openclaw.json`, credential files, installed plugin files, and workspaces live on the ephemeral disk. Reapply your bootstrap runbook, or keep the installation always-on and take [full archives](/install/backups#full-archives).
+
+**Channel sessions break after a restore** -- Restoring older bytes rolls back ratcheting credentials. Relink the affected channel and review pending approvals; see [Limits and recovery](#limits-and-recovery).
+
+**WebSocket connections close on large payloads** -- Cloudflare closes received WebSocket messages larger than 32 MiB. Reduce attachment sizes or transfer them out of band.

+### Headless bootstrap
+
+For an unattended container host, put provider, Gateway, and channel credentials in the Compose `.env` file so both the one-shot bootstrap container and the long-running Gateway receive the same values:
+
+```bash
+OPENAI_API_KEY=<provider-key>
+OPENCLAW_GATEWAY_TOKEN=<gateway-token>
+TELEGRAM_BOT_TOKEN=<bot-token>
+```
+

+
+```bash

+  dist/index.js onboard --non-interactive --accept-risk --skip-health \
+  --mode local \

+docker compose up -d openclaw-gateway
+```
+
+The channel command fails before changing config if a plugin-declared environment variable is missing. Keep `TELEGRAM_BOT_TOKEN` in `.env` after bootstrap: `--use-env` leaves credential lookup to the environment without copying the token into `openclaw.json`, and the running Gateway needs the same variable. When channel config changes after startup, the Gateway's config watcher hot-reloads the affected channel automatically.

+Revision history: revision 1 (2026-08-08) established the session/runner
+vocabulary, the naming rulings, and the milestone skeleton after a
+code-evidence investigation and three adversarial reviews. Revision 2
+(2026-08-11) follows a second round of deep code reads (worker admission,
+tunnel, sync, node channel, scope model), an industry survey (GitHub/GitLab/
+Buildkite/CircleCI runners, Tailscale, VS Code tunnels, Coder, Gitpod Flex,
+Amp, Cursor/Claude/Codex cloud), a static teardown of Amp's runner transport,
+and a fresh adversarial review of this revision. The operator decisions that
+changed the plan:
+
+- **Nodes host sessions.** Revision 1's "no turn loops on the node role"
+  non-goal is overridden as a conclusion while its facts stand: the node
+  _connection_ is still not an authority boundary, so session-hosting
+  authority lives in the dispatch layer (worker admission, per-dispatch
+  credentials, turn claims, owner epochs) — relocated, not removed.
+- **`openclaw worker` becomes a node-supervised child.** One machine concept:
+  a paired node can run everything a cloud worker runs today.
+- **SSH is not the device transport.** The gateway never dials devices; the
+  device always dials out. Revision 1's "ship sshd first" for device runners
+  is deleted — it cannot reach a NAT'd machine and no surveyed product uses
+  SSH as control transport. SSH remains only as the legacy cloud-lease
+  transport until milestone 10 retires it.
 
 ## Problem
 
-OpenClaw has three disconnected answers to "where does work run":
+Unchanged from revision 1 in substance: OpenClaw has disconnected answers to
+"where does work run." Nodes receive forwarded `exec host=node` calls only; a
+user's always-on workstation is less capable as a session host than a
+throwaway cloud lease. Cloud workers host full sessions with a durable
+placement state machine, but only against ephemeral SSH-provisioned leases.
+The ssh sandbox backend is a third remote-execution path. Placement is chosen
+once from a flat list mixing ontologies, then becomes invisible; onboarding a
+new machine takes flags, env vars, and two manual approvals.

-across `tools.exec.*`, `agents.entries.*.tools.exec.node`,

-Vocabulary drifted: the Control UI says "thread" (July 2026 copy rename, PRs

 Session   gateway-owned: transcript, identity, placement, managed worktree.
           Clients (web, TUI, macOS app, channels) attach to sessions,
           never to runners. One noun, everywhere: session.
-Runner    anything that can host a session's turn loop:
-            - the gateway itself (the runner you get for free)
-            - a paired device (via a node-backed worker provider; see below)
-            - a cloud box (existing crabbox worker provider)
-Isolation a property OF the runner, not a place:
-            cloud box       -> the machine is the boundary
-            gateway/device  -> none | docker | podman (existing sandbox)
-Device    paired hardware (today's "nodes"). Devices contribute
-          capabilities (camera, canvas, exec) as peripherals; a device
-          becomes a runner only through the worker admission path.
+Node      a paired machine holding an outbound connection to the gateway
+          (Ed25519 device identity). Protocol/internal vocabulary; user-facing
+          copy says "device". EVERY remote machine is a node — personal
+          workstations, servers, cloud leases. Phones are nodes that never
+          advertise session hosting.
+Runner    anything that can host a session's turn loop: the gateway itself,
+          or a session-capable node. "Runner" is internal/docs vocabulary;
+          UI copy says "Runs on …".
+Worker    the per-turn child process (`openclaw worker`) that hosts a
+          session's loop under worker admission. On cloud leases it is
+          launched over SSH today; on nodes it is a supervised child of the

-Naming rulings (operator-decided 2026-08-08):
+Naming rulings (operator-decided, carried from revision 1): **session** is the
+only product noun for a conversation; **devices** is the user-facing word for
+paired hardware; new CLI ergonomics ship as **verbs** (`openclaw resume`,
+`openclaw connect`); "runner" never appears in UI copy. Milestone 1c (nodes →
+devices route/i18n consolidation) lands before any new placement copy ships.
 
-- **session** is the only product noun for a conversation. The Control-UI
-  "thread" copy is reverted (i18n + test literals; technical identifiers never
-  changed). Industry: 9–2 for session among agent products; ACP says session;
-  "thread" collides with Discord/Slack/Telegram sub-thread transport concepts.
-- **devices** is the user-facing word for paired hardware; "nodes" remains
-  protocol/internal vocabulary only. The route/i18n debt (`nodes` route id,
-  `/settings/devices` path, `nodes.*` i18n keys) consolidates on devices.
-- New CLI ergonomics ship as **verbs** (`openclaw resume`), never a second
-  noun command next to `openclaw sessions`.
-- "runner" is an internal/docs concept; UI copy says "Runs on …".
+## Architecture
 
-VISION.md gains one paragraph: the gateway is the coordinator and the default
-runner; every other machine — yours or leased — can be a runner; clients
-attach to sessions, so where a session runs never changes how you talk to it.
+### The two-connection shape
 
-## What the adversarial reviews killed (now non-goals)
+Every surveyed production system (GitHub Actions runners, GitLab, Buildkite,
+CircleCI, Tailscale, VS Code tunnels, Coder, Gitpod, Amp) uses outbound-only
+connections from the machine to the control plane, and the mature ones split
+a persistent presence/control channel from per-job work channels. OpenClaw
+already has both halves; this plan connects them:
 
-- **No Places registry.** `environments.list`
-  (`src/gateway/server-methods/environments.ts:143-157`) already returns the
-  merged read model: gateway entry, node catalog (paired + live presence),
-  worker environments, cloud profiles. A persisted registry would duplicate
-  presence facts; a renamed RPC is a second path. We enrich `EnvironmentSummary`
-  additively instead.
-- **No turn loops on the node role.** The node protocol was already rejected
-  as a loop transport (cloud-workers.md §4): a connected node can emit
-  arbitrary node events, so its capability ceiling is not an ingress boundary.
-  Worker ingress stays a closed three-method allowlist
-  (`packages/gateway-protocol/src/schema/worker-admission.ts:32-34`) with
-  minted per-dispatch credentials and exact bundle-hash admission
-  (`src/gateway/worker-environments/admission.ts:80-104`). Devices become
-  runners only by running `openclaw worker` under that admission.
-- **No dispatch into a live checkout.** Workspace sync requires exclusive
-  ownership of the remote dir (wiped every sync,
-  `workspace-sync-setup-script.ts:29`); reconcile treats divergence from the
-  base manifest as worker output. Device runners use the same private
-  per-session dir under `$HOME/.openclaw-worker/` that the qa-lab static-ssh
-  provider proves today.
-- **No folding of `exec host=node`.** Per-call exec routing is ~5k LOC of
-  four-layer fail-closed approval machinery (gateway TOCTOU re-checks, node
-  policy floor, `systemRunPlan` hash binding revalidated on the node,
-  node-local re-evaluation). It serves a different product (one command in a
-  different policy domain) and stays untouched.
-- **No sandbox-as-a-place row.** Sandbox is per-agent isolation config with
-  no per-session override surface; a picker row would silently do nothing for
-  unconfigured agents.
-- **No fake mobility verbs.** `sessions.dispatch` accepts `local|reclaimed`
-  placements and cloud profiles only (`sessions-dispatch.ts:166-176`); there
-  is no pause and no machine-to-machine move. The UI shows only what the
-  backend does: display + reclaim now; move-as-stop-and-continue after device
-  runners ship.
-- **No exec pre-approval in pairing links.** The one-paste flow may
-  pre-approve presence-only scopes; `system.run` and folder sync always pass
-  the existing pending-approval or SSH-verify gate
-  (`src/gateway/node-pairing-ssh-verify.ts`).
-- **No live migration, no multi-gateway federation, no phones as runners.**
+1. **Node connection** (exists): the outbound gateway WebSocket. Carries
+   identity, presence, capability manifest, and bounded command invocation
+   (`node.invoke`). This is the control channel: registration, liveness, and
+   the transport for workspace operations.
+2. **Worker connection** (exists): the per-dispatch WebSocket speaking the
+   closed worker protocol (heartbeat, transcript CAS commits, resumable live
+   events, gateway-proxied inference, gateway-side session tools). Admission
+   is store-backed and transport-free: per-dispatch 32-byte credential
+   (10-minute TTL, hashed at rest), environment binding, owner epochs, exact
+   bundle hash, per-RPC identity revalidation. On a node runner the worker
+   child dials the gateway's public TLS endpoint directly — a connected node
+   proves the outbound path exists.
 
-## Components
+What is deliberately NOT the transport: `node.invoke` as a byte pipe for the
+worker connection. Measured constraints (16 KiB string chunks, an awaited RPC
+round-trip per chunk, no idempotency dedupe, reconnect kills in-flight
+invokes, one-session-per-nodeId eviction, 50 MB buffer hard-close) make it
+unsuitable for hours-long streams. It stays what it is: a bounded command
+channel.
 
-### 1. Session continuation ergonomics (independent, ships first)
+### Worker ingress on the public endpoint (milestone 5)
 
-Already true by construction: the transcript and placement live on the
-gateway, inference originates from the gateway in every placement, and the
-TUI is a full gateway client (`openclaw tui --session <key>`, Ctrl+P picker,
-last-session resume — `src/tui/tui-last-session.ts`). Start a session on the
-web running in the cloud; the TUI attaches and turns route to the worker.
+Today the worker ingress is a dedicated loopback-only listener reached via
+`ssh -R`; the main ingress rejects worker frames. For node runners the same
+admission is exposed on a path-tagged upgrade route on the public TLS
+endpoint (`connectionKind = "worker"` forced by route instead of listener).
+The loopback listener stays for SSH-provisioned cloud workers until
+milestone 10.
 
-Delta is ergonomics only:
+Hardening that ships with the exposure, not after it:
 
-- `openclaw resume [query]` — fuzzy-match recent sessions across agents by
-  name/key; no query opens a picker; resolves to `tui --session <key>`.
-- Web UI "Continue in terminal" on session rows: shows the exact command
-  (`openclaw resume <key>`), mirroring the terminal-resume affordance the
-  Codex/Claude session catalogs already have.
-- No new protocol surface; `sessions.list` already carries what the resolver
-  needs.
+- Admission failures collapse into one opaque reason. The current
+  `invalid-credential` vs `environment-mismatch` distinction is an
+  environment-id enumeration oracle and must not be publicly observable.
+- The worker path shares the gateway's preauth budgets and rate limits;
+  a pre-credential connection gets the same cheap rejection as any other
+  unauthenticated client.
+- Credential strength is already sufficient (32 random bytes, constant-time
+  hashed compare, 10-minute TTL, single environment binding).
 
-Follow-up: boundary-level resume test (gateway → session list → attach) needs a lightweight CLI-side gateway harness; the existing helper costs ~370s under the CLI vitest config.
+### Node worker provider (milestone 6)
 
-### 2. One-paste device pairing (independent)
+`WorkerLease` grows a union: `{ ssh: … } | { node: { deviceId } }`. The
+admission/placement machinery (environment store, credential broker,
+placement state machine, turn claims, transcript/live-event/inference
+protocols) is reused unchanged — that is the hard-won part. What is net-new,
+stated honestly (revision 1 undersold this):
 
-Reuse the shipped setup-code flow: `PairingSetupPayload = { url, urls?,
-bootstrapToken }` base64url blob (`src/pairing/setup-code.ts:40-44,406-410`),
-10-minute single-use bootstrap token, `bootstrapProfile: "node"`
-(`src/shared/device-bootstrap-profile.ts:61-94`), minting RPC
-`device.pair.setupCode` (`src/gateway/server-methods/device-pair-setup.ts`).
+- **Node tunnel handle.** A second `WorkerTunnelHandle` implementation:
+  `runWorkspaceCommand` maps to a bounded node command (argv + stdin →
+  SpawnResult; the remote-side sync/manifest/quiesce scripts already ship in
+  the bundle and are transport-agnostic). `remoteSocketPath` is replaced by
+  the descriptor carrying the gateway worker URL.
+- **Durable launch.** In the SSH flow the launch exec stream _is_ the worker
+  lifetime and its death destroys the environment. On a node, launch is a
+  supervised node-host command: the node host spawns the worker child
+  decoupled from the invoke lifetime, persists the one-line result, and the
+  gateway re-collects it idempotently. A node WS blip must not kill a turn.
+- **Credential delivery.** The launch descriptor (including the per-turn
+  credential) travels over the authenticated node channel instead of SSH
+  stdin. Same trust domain: the node host is the machine-side agent either
+  way.
+- **Workspace sync without rsync.** Manifest-driven delta blob transfer over
+  authenticated HTTPS against the gateway (the manifest machinery already
+  computes exact changed-blob lists; rsync was only the carrier), with
+  git-mode base fetch from origin when the project has one. Existing bounds
+  (inventory entries, manifest bytes, reconcile caps) carry over. Nodes with
+  an advertised local checkout skip gateway push entirely (the Amp model:
+  runner identity = host + workdir + repo).
+- **Persistent-machine lifecycle.** `destroy` = logical lease release.
+  Provider `inspect` is tri-state against pairing + presence: _present_,
+  _dormant_ (paired but offline, within a dormancy ceiling — must NOT be
+  driven to `orphaned` by the reconcile sweep), _gone_ (unpaired or ceiling
+  elapsed → normal orphan/reap path). A device-environment reaper keyed on
+  unpair/dormancy — not on provider teardown proof — cleans rows,
+  credentials, and staged refs. Device-side GC of per-session workspace dirs
+  and superseded bundles is a milestone exit gate, not an open question:
+  persistent machines otherwise leak the user's own disk.
+- **Placement `runner-offline`.** Heartbeat/presence loss marks the placement
+  with a recorded, operator-visible reason; staged results are preserved by
+  the existing fence machinery; the session offers "continue on gateway"
+  (reclaim) or "wait for device". Never a silent non-outcome.
+- **Dispatch target union.** `sessions.dispatch` accepts
+  `{ profileId } | { deviceId }`; the device → environment mapping resolves
+  server-side. Devices are not smuggled through synthesized
+  `cloudWorkers.profiles` entries.
+- **Concurrency slots.** A node declares a session-slot count (default small);
+  the picker shows busy state; a dispatch that no live runner can satisfy
+  fails visibly after a bounded wait instead of queuing forever.
+- **Multi-gateway safety.** The worker install/workspace root on a node is
+  namespaced by gateway identity so two gateways pairing one machine cannot
+  corrupt each other's state.
 
-Gaps to close:
+Isolation on node runners: optional worker-in-docker/podman, same sandbox
+axis as gateway-local sessions. Cloud leases keep full-permission-within-the-
+box (the machine is the boundary).
 
-- `oc-pair://<setupCode>` scheme wrapper (payload unchanged).
-- `openclaw node run --pair <code|url>` redeem path: decode blob, configure
-  host/port/token, connect (today only `--host/--port/--tls-fingerprint`
-  flags exist, `src/node-host/runner.ts:27-37`).
-- Add the TLS fingerprint to `PairingSetupPayload` (node host already accepts
-  a pin; the blob cannot carry it).
-- Expose the `node` bootstrap profile in the Control UI pairing dialog
-  (RPC-only today, `ui/src/lib/device-pair-setup.ts`).
-- Tailscale-style key split, stated in docs: the pairing token is short-lived
-  and one-shot; the resulting device credential is long-lived; revoking one
-  never revokes the other.
+### Trust model (operator-decided, v1)
 
-Exec/scope escalation is unchanged: first `system.run` request lands in
-pending approval or auto-approves via SSH-verify.
+Cloud workers run full-permission because the box is disposable and
+credential-free. A paired personal machine is neither. The v1 resolution:
 
-### 3. Device runners (the core)
+- **Only admins pair nodes** (already enforced: `role: node` device approval
+  requires `operator.admin`; the join-code mint is admin-scoped). Pairing a
+  node is the admin declaring it **shared team infrastructure** — a server,
+  a build box, a dedicated workstation. That is the consent boundary for
+  "everyone on the gateway may dispatch to it and session content lands on
+  it."
+- **Personal-device runners are out of scope for v1.** They arrive together
+  with per-person node ownership (visibility + dispatch policy keyed on a
+  recorded owner), not before. Approver identity is recorded at pairing time
+  from day one as **provenance, never authorization** (additive nullable
+  column), so the later policy has data to stand on.
+- **Phones and low-trust devices never advertise session hosting.**
+  Capability gating, not ontology: the picker never offers them.
+- Non-interactive approval side doors (trusted-CIDR, SSH-verify,
+  trusted-proxy browser auto-approve) remain scoped to their current
+  presence-level grants and are reviewed for the hosted-gateway class; none
+  may mint a session-capable node without an admin.
+- Inference stays gateway-proxied; provider keys never reach nodes. If nodes
+  ever fetch private repos from origin directly, the gateway mints
+  short-lived scoped git credentials per dispatch; no standing PATs on nodes.
 
-A device runner is the existing worker stack pointed at a persistent machine.
-Evidence that the stack is ready:
+### Onboarding (milestone 3)
 
-- Provider contract is tiny and SSH-generic
-  (`src/plugins/capability-provider.types.ts:97-114`): `provision → {leaseId,
-ssh}`, `inspect`, `destroy`. The qa-lab static-ssh provider
-  (`extensions/qa-lab/src/static-ssh-worker-provider.ts:70-91`) already wraps
-  a persistent host with a no-op destroy, and sync/reconcile work unmodified
-  because the remote workspace is a private per-session mirror.
-- Admission, placement state machine, SQLite stores, transcript CAS,
-  inference proxy, and the `openclaw worker` runtime need essentially no
-  changes; admission is credential-based, not transport-based.
-- The seam is `WorkerTunnelHandle`
-  (`src/gateway/worker-environments/tunnel-contract.ts:74`, 85 lines):
-  workspace command execution + sync + quiesce behind one handle, currently
-  SSH-only (`worker-turn-launcher.ts:337-344`, `workspace-sync-scripts.ts`).
+Copying the industry-standard split (short-lived enrollment secret →
+long-lived device identity; GitLab deprecated reusable registration tokens to
+get here, Tailscale's key/device revocation split is the documented model):
 
-Work items:
+- Admin mints a **single-use, ~10-minute join code** (≥128-bit entropy) from
+  the picker's "Connect a machine…" foot or `openclaw devices` CLI. The
+  existing `device.pair.setupCode` RPC and `node` bootstrap profile are the
+  substrate; the code pre-approves exactly the node role with zero operator
+  scopes.
+- The pasted one-liner is `npx openclaw connect <url-or-code>` (top-level
+  verb; `openclaw node run` stays as the plumbing command). It accepts the
+  full `oc-pair://` payload (offline form, carries gateway URL + bootstrap
+  token + optional TLS pin for self-signed gateways) or an
+  `https://<gateway-host>/j/<shortcode>` URL whose payload is fetched over
+  TLS. `--service` installs the OS service instead of running foreground.
+  A curl installer wrapper on the public website installs the CLI and execs
+  the same verb; the public site never sees tokens.
+- The gateway serves `/j/<shortcode>` (reserved prefix in Control UI routing,
+  single-use burn, strict per-IP rate limiting).
+- Revocation split, documented: revoking a join code never unpairs nodes;
+  removing/banning a node is a first-class devices-page action that also
+  fences in-flight placements. Node auto-cleanup after a long dead period
+  mirrors runner-industry practice.
 
-- **`device` worker provider**: `provision` maps a profile to an existing
-  paired, connected device; `destroy` releases the logical lease. Config:
-  `cloudWorkers.profiles.<id> = { provider: "device", settings: { device:
-"<id-or-name>" } }` (bikeshed: rename the config block to
-  `runners.profiles` with a doctor migration — decide at review).
-- **Tunnel variant**: either (a) SSH to the device like any worker (device
-  runs sshd; simplest, reuses everything), or (b) a `WorkerTunnelHandle`
-  implementation that multiplexes workspace commands and the worker socket
-  over the device's existing gateway connection. Ship (a) first; (b) is an
-  optimization decided by review.
-- **Pinned runtime with consent**: the gateway pushes its content-hashed
-  bundle (existing bootstrap, `bootstrap.ts:26-104`) into
-  `$HOME/.openclaw-worker/` on the device. Installing a runtime on a personal
-  machine requires a one-time per-device operator approval, surfaced in the
-  pairing/approval UI. Exact-version admission stays; version skew is solved
-  by reinstalling the bundle, never by relaxing the check.
-- **Offline/drain semantics** (the one genuinely new subsystem): personal
-  machines sleep and cannot be destroyed. New placement handling for
-  `runner-offline`: heartbeat loss marks the placement with a recorded,
-  operator-visible reason (Product Doctrine: no silent non-outcome); staged
-  results are preserved (existing fence machinery); the session offers
-  "continue on gateway" (reclaim) or "wait for device". Reuse the wake-nudge
-  subsystem (`src/gateway/node-wake-state.ts`) where the device has a wake
-  channel.
-- **Isolation on device runners**: optional worker-in-docker on the device,
-  same sandbox axis as gateway-local sessions. Cloud runners keep
-  full-permission-within-the-box (the machine is the boundary).
+### Bundle and updates (milestone 7)
 
-### 3b. Projects (derived read model)
+Exact-hash admission stays. The pinned, content-hashed bundle is pushed to
+the node over the already-authenticated paired channel. Consent is split so
+it cannot rot into approval fatigue or silent surprise:
+
+- **Consent to be a runner**: one-time, per-device, at pairing/enablement.
+- **Consent to run a build**: satisfied by the channel — bundles arrive only
+  from the gateway this admin paired, and updates on dispatch are the normal
+  managed-runner behavior (GitHub runners self-update the same way). The
+  devices page shows the installed runner version; the gateway refuses
+  dispatch to stale nodes with a doctor-style hint instead of failing
+  silently.
+
+### Projects read model (milestone 4 foundation)
 
 OpenClaw already computes project identity twice without naming it: the
 worktree service derives `originUrl` + a 16-char repo fingerprint
 (`src/agents/worktrees/service.ts:199-205`), and the sessions catalog groups
 Codex/Claude rows by project folder, folding `.claude/worktrees/<name>` into
-its origin repo. This component promotes that to a first-class read model —
-derived, never registered, same pattern as `environments.list`:
+its origin repo. This component promotes that to a first-class observed read
+model alongside the registered projects already returned by `projects.list`,
+following the same computed pattern as `environments.list`:
 
-- **`projects.list` read model** (computed on demand, no new store): group
-  known checkouts by repo fingerprint → `{ name, originUrl, checkouts:
+- **`projects.list.observedProjects` read model** (computed for
+  write-capable callers, no new store): group known checkouts by repo fingerprint → `{ name, originUrl, checkouts:
 [{runnerId, path}], lastUsedAt }`. Sources: session rows
-  (`execCwd`/`execNode`), the managed-worktree registry, and
-  device-advertised workdirs (below). "GitHub-ness" is just the originUrl
-  host shown as a subtitle; no forge integration required to model it.
-- **Device checkout advertisement**: the gateway cannot group cross-runner
-  checkouts today because it never learns a device checkout's origin. Device
-  runner enablement (component 3) adds `{path, originUrl}` pairs to the
-  device handshake — the Amp host+workdir idea landing in the right seam.
-  Small, additive, and only sent for paths the operator enabled.
-- **Picker flow**: project first (chip ⌃J), then the Where chip narrows to
-  "where does this project exist" — checkout paths as row subtitles; runners
-  without a checkout are listed honestly ("no checkout · clones from origin
-  on first session"); cloud is always eligible (fresh clone). Recents group
-  by project instead of deduping raw `(folder, node)` pairs
-  (`ui/src/pages/new-session/recent-places.ts`). "No project" keeps the
-  existing per-runner folder browser as the escape hatch.
-- **Forge integration is a later, separable phase**: repo lists from GitHub,
-  clone-a-repo-you've-never-touched, PR status on session rows. The derived
-  model needs none of it; registration-style project creation (the
-  cloud-only-product pattern) is explicitly rejected — projects appear
-  because you worked on them.
+  (`execCwd`/`execNode`) and the managed-worktree registry. The observed
+  paths and sanitized origins are returned only to `operator.write` callers;
+  read-only callers keep the registered project catalog and project-only
+  recents. Device-advertised checkouts remain milestone 6 work.
 
-### 4. UI convergence
+### UI (milestone 4)
 
-Design rule (operator-decided, 2026-08-08): **normal state is silent; only
-exceptions speak.** No online dots, no persistent/disposable/peripheral
-labels, no status pills — being listed in the picker already means usable,
-and the operator knows what their own devices are. Status text appears only
-for exceptions ("offline · 2h", the runner-offline banner) or facts the
-operator cannot infer (provisioning time, "runs in docker"). Capability
-chips stay: they are structured facts, not status. Placement on a running
-session is quiet text ("on aws"), not a badged widget — the activity spinner
-already carries liveness.
+Revision 1's design rule stands: normal state is silent; only exceptions
+speak. Additions:
 
-- **Enrich `EnvironmentSummary` additively** (protocol, no migration):
-  `trust: "persistent" | "disposable"`, `sessionHost: boolean`, `platform`,
-  and for profiles a provider-supplied `class` label. No pricing fields until
-  a provider actually supplies prices.
+- **Use the existing environment type discriminant** for picker grouping:
+  local gateway, connected execution-capable nodes, worker environments, and
+  the separate cloud profiles list. `sessionHost` is deferred to milestone 6,
+  where device runners introduce the capability fact that needs it.
 - **Where picker regrouped** (`ui/src/pages/new-session/place-picker.ts`):
-  sections "This gateway" / "Your devices" (session-capable, connected
-  devices only — phones and offline devices stay hidden by gating) / "Cloud".
-  Folder and destination stay orthogonal. Copy: "Runs on {place}".
-- **Placement chip** on the session header: shows current placement and
-  state; menu offers exactly reclaim ("Bring home") for cloud placements
-  today, plus stop-and-continue moves once device runners ship. Reuses the
-  placement subscription the sidebar badges already consume.
-- **Devices page**: fold live-sessions-per-device into the existing
-  `ui/src/pages/nodes/` surface (renamed to devices end-to-end). No new
-  top-level nav item; the picker's "Connect a device…" foot links here.
-- **Naming wave** (one PR, early, before new copy lands): revert thread →
-  session in Control UI copy; consolidate nodes → devices in route id, i18n
-  keys, and labels. Route aliases per the UI's existing alias mechanism.
+  sections "This gateway" / "Devices" / "Cloud". Device rows intersect the
+  environment catalog with connected, execution-capable nodes; cloud
+  profiles remain their separate list. Folder and destination stay
+  orthogonal.
+- **Placement chip** on the session header: shows quiet current placement;
+  active cloud placements reclaim through `sessions.reclaim` with "Bring
+  home". Stop-and-continue moves arrive with milestone 8.
+- **Remaining milestone work**: live presence and pairing subscriptions, the
+  admin-gated "Connect a machine…" foot, busy and never-connected states,
+  and additive `EnvironmentSummary` platform, session-host, trust, and runner
+  version facts. `runner-offline` then shows a banner with the recorded reason
+  and its recovery verbs.

+A cloud provider's job collapses to: boot box, run
+`openclaw connect <one-shot code> --ephemeral` in setup. Ephemeral enrollment
+(industry: GitHub `--ephemeral`/JIT, Buildkite `--acquire-job`, Tailscale
+ephemeral keys) auto-deregisters after the run and auto-purges the node
+record when it goes offline. `destroy` = release lease. After soak, the SSH
+reverse-tunnel stack, `PreparedWorkerSsh`, and the rsync transport are
+deleted; cloud leases and paired machines become the same runner with
+different lifecycles.
 
-Net production LOC across the whole plan is targeted negative: components 1–2
-are small additions; component 3 is mostly a provider plugin + one tunnel
-variant against reused machinery; component 5 deletes more than 3 adds.
+## What the adversarial reviews killed or reshaped
+
+Carried forward from revision 1 (still true): no Places registry
+(`environments.list` stays the read model, enriched additively); no dispatch
+into a live checkout without exclusive ownership; `exec host=node` stays
+untouched (different product, different policy domain); no sandbox-as-a-place
+picker row; no fake mobility verbs; no live migration; no multi-gateway
+federation; no phones as runners.
+
+Revised or new in revision 2:
+
+- Revision 1's "device runners are the existing worker stack with essentially
+  no changes" was **overstated**: admission, placement, claims, stores, and
+  the worker protocols are reused; transport, credential delivery, sync
+  carrier, and launch durability are net-new. Scope milestone 6 accordingly.
+- Revision 1's "ship sshd first" transport is **deleted** (unreachable target
+  machines; industry-divergent).
+- "Everyone dispatches" is **bounded by the trust model above** — shared
+  infrastructure only, until per-person ownership ships.
+- The `node.invoke` byte-pipe idea (this revision's own first draft) was
+  killed by measured protocol constraints; the direct-dial worker connection
+  replaced it.
 
 ## Prior art (what we copy, what we skip)
 
-- **Amp agents-anywhere**: runners as first-class picker entries; identity =
-  host + workdir with optional pinned name → we key on device id and
-  advertise workdirs. Amp leaves offline-runner behavior undocumented; our
-  `runner-offline` recorded state is the deliberate improvement.
-- **Tailscale auth keys**: one-shot short-lived pairing key vs long-lived
-  device credential, separate revocation → copied in component 2.
-- **Claude Code teleport**: continuation re-materializes state because their
-  cloud session lives elsewhere; OpenClaw's gateway-owned sessions make
-  continuation attach-only — simpler, no state movement. Their fork-not-move
-  semantics inform our stop-and-continue framing.
-- **Cursor 3 location picker**: Local/Worktree/Cloud/SSH in one dropdown
-  validates the single-picker UX; their live cloud-handoff shipped buggy —
-  we do not attempt live moves.
-- **devcontainer.json**: if/when repo-owned environment setup lands for
-  worker profiles, adopt the spec rather than inventing a format (Cursor's
-  proprietary environment.json accrued debt; Gitpod migrated to the spec).
+- **Amp** (verified by static CLI teardown + manual): outbound WSS only via
+  actor framework; per-user control channel carries registration, heartbeat,
+  presence, and dispatch intents in heartbeat responses; per-thread WS for
+  live sessions; agent loop local on the runner in an existing checkout (no
+  file sync; identity = host + workdir + repo URL); inference centralized
+  server-side; per-workdir PID claim prevents double-serving. We copy the
+  two-channel shape, dispatch-over-control-channel, and checkout
+  advertisement; we keep inference gateway-proxied (their centralization is
+  a billing choice, not architecture); we scope enrollment tighter than
+  their single long-lived API key.
+- **GitHub Actions runners**: registration token → device keypair; JIT/
+  ephemeral single-job runners; self-update with a staleness ceiling and
+  dispatch refusal; blunt security docs about persistent runners running
+  untrusted code. All copied in spirit above.
+- **Tailscale**: auth-key vs node-key split and the revocation split warning.
+  Copied, documented.
+- **VS Code tunnels**: the gold-standard enrollment UX (run one command,
+  browser confirms); device-code-style confirmation is a candidate
+  alternative to pasted codes later. Their 10-tunnel account cap validates
+  bounded per-gateway node counts.
+- **Coder / Gitpod Flex**: control/data plane split with customer-side
+  execution and orchestration-only control plane — the closest analog to
+  "inference on gateway, execution on node," validating it as a coherent
+  residency story. Gitpod's ~30s registration renewal is the liveness-lease
+  reference if presence needs tightening.
+- **Cursor / Claude Code / Codex cloud**: managed-VM-only execution with
+  git-based handoff; Claude Code's proxy-minted scoped git credentials
+  inform the scoped-git-token rule above; teleport-style continuation
+  validates attach-only sessions (which OpenClaw gets for free).
 
 ## Milestones
 
-Independently mergeable PR series, roughly in order; 1–3 can interleave.
+Independently mergeable PR series; 3–5 can interleave after 1c.
 
-1. **Naming wave**: session copy revert + devices consolidation (UI/i18n/tests
-   only; no protocol or CLI changes).
-2. **Continuation ergonomics**: `openclaw resume`, web "Continue in
-   terminal".
-3. **Pairing**: `oc-pair://`, `node run --pair`, TLS pin in payload, node
-   profile in the pairing UI.
-4. **Picker + enrichment**: additive `EnvironmentSummary` fields, regrouped
-   Where picker, placement chip (display + reclaim), `projects.list` read
-   model + project-first picker flow (gateway-side checkouts only until 5
-   adds device advertisement).
-5. **Device runners**: device worker provider (SSH transport first), pinned
-   bundle install with per-device consent, checkout advertisement
-   (`{path, originUrl}` in the enablement handshake), `runner-offline`
-   placement semantics with recorded reasons, optional worker-in-docker
-   isolation.
-   Fault-injection tests (device sleep mid-turn, gateway restart with
-   offline device, credential expiry) gate exit — same bar cloud workers set.
-6. **Stop-and-continue moves** (chip verb "Move to…"): drain + reclaim +
-   re-dispatch to another runner, reusing the migration barrier.
-7. **Deletions**: ssh sandbox backend, openshell overlap, exec-host clone
-   extraction, node/device pairing merge — each in its own PR with proof the
-   replacement covers it.
+1. **1c naming cleanup**: finish nodes → devices in route ids, i18n keys,
+   labels; `node-pairing.ts` facade merge. Before any new placement copy.
+2. **Continuation ergonomics** (in progress): `openclaw resume` plus the web
+   **Continue in terminal…** session action. The browser copies one
+   credential-free command with one bounded, versioned, URL-safe handoff
+   argument that encodes the exact qualified session key and selected Gateway
+   WebSocket URL without shell-specific quoting. The key is agent-qualified and
+   bounded to 512 user-perceived characters. Query-routed Gateway URLs are
+   intentionally excluded because authentication and stored device scope are
+   not query-aware; the UI never strips or copies the query and instead directs
+   operators to a manually authenticated target or queryless configured URL. It
+   never executes the CLI or delegates first-use authentication. Before attach,
+   Resume asks the Gateway to resolve the key, uses only the returned canonical
+   key, and rejects a missing or ambiguous handoff without starting another
+   session. Resume may reuse only the current
+   profile's auth, SecretRefs, and exact-origin device auth when the handoff URL
+   byte-for-byte matches a target owned by the configured mode: local + Control
+   UI base path or public origin + base path in local mode, and only the remote
+   URL in remote mode. TLS pin reuse is limited to direct-local and
+   configured remote identities; public origins inherit no local-listener pin.
+   Ambient Gateway auth env fallback is suppressed for handoffs. Mismatches fail
+   closed, terminal auth remains independent, and session ACLs stay
+   authoritative.
+3. **`openclaw connect`**: verb + `oc-pair://` decoder + TLS pin in payload +
+   `/j/<shortcode>` join route (reserved prefix, single-use, rate-limited) +
+   shortcode mint + curl wrapper on the public site. Exit: a fresh machine
+   pairs against a remote gateway with one pasted command and one admin
+   click, no manual approval steps.
+4. **Picker** (in progress): regrouped sections, quiet placement + reclaim,
+   and the observed projects read model land first; live presence subscription,
+   the admin-gated "Connect a machine…" foot, additive `EnvironmentSummary`
+   enrichment, and never-connected vs lost states complete the milestone.
+5. **Public worker ingress**: path-tagged worker upgrade on the main TLS
+   endpoint; opaque admission failure; shared preauth budgets. Exit: a worker
+   process on any internet host with a valid dispatch credential completes
+   admission; invalid attempts are cheap and unenumerable.
+6. **Node worker provider**: lease union, dispatch target union, node tunnel
+   handle, durable supervised launch, HTTPS delta sync + origin fetch,
+   tri-state inspect + reaper + GC, concurrency slots, `runner-offline`
+   placement semantics, gateway-namespaced install root, approver-provenance
+   column. Fault-injection tests gate exit: device sleep mid-turn, node WS
+   blip mid-turn (turn survives), gateway restart with offline device,
+   credential expiry, slot saturation, dispatch-with-no-live-runner timeout.
+7. **Bundle push + updates**: consent split, push over paired channel,
+   version surfacing, stale-node dispatch refusal.
+8. **Stop-and-continue moves**: drain + reclaim + re-dispatch to another
+   runner, reusing the migration barrier.
+9. **Deletions**: ssh sandbox backend + remote-fs bridge (~2.35k LOC),
+   openshell overlap (~3.4k LOC, verify usage first), exec-host structural
+   clones (~3k of ~5k LOC), one-shot `agent.cli.claude.run` node path
+   (superseded by full session hosting), node/device pairing merge remainder.
+   Each gated on its replacement, each its own PR with proof.
+10. **Cloud convergence**: `--ephemeral` enrollment, provisioners run
+    `openclaw connect`, then delete the SSH tunnel/rsync transport stack.
+
+Net production LOC across the plan is targeted negative: milestones 3–5 are
+small additions, 6–7 are mostly a provider + one transport implementation
+against reused machinery, and 9–10 delete more than everything before them
+adds.
 
 ## Open questions
 
-- Config naming: keep `cloudWorkers.profiles` (compat) or migrate to
-  `runners.profiles` via doctor in milestone 5?
-- Device-runner transport (a) sshd vs (b) multiplexed gateway connection:
-  ship (a) first; is (b) worth the protocol surface at all?
-- Should `openclaw resume` also start the gateway/TUI in local mode when no
-  gateway is reachable, or fail with guidance?
-- Repo-owned setup contract (devcontainer.json) for worker profiles: this
-  plan or a follow-up?
-- Forge integration (GitHub repo lists, clone-anywhere, PR status on session
-  rows): explicitly out of this plan; follow-up once the derived project
-  model has usage.
-- Project naming collision: `openclaw fleet` and multi-tenant docs use
-  "project" loosely in places — sweep during the naming wave to keep
-  "project" exclusively for repo identity.
+- Dormancy ceiling default (how long a sleeping device stays `dormant`
+  before its environments reap) — proposal: 14 days, config-free, revisit
+  with usage.
+- Slot count default for node runners — proposal: 2 for interactive-class
+  devices, higher for server-class; needs a capability signal or a connect
+  flag.
+- Device-code-style browser confirmation (VS Code model) as an alternative
+  to pasted codes — later, once `/j/` exists.
+- Repo-owned environment setup (devcontainer.json) for worker profiles —
+  unchanged from revision 1: adopt the spec if/when it lands, separate plan.
+- Forge integration (repo lists, clone-anywhere, PR status) — explicitly out,
+  follow-up once the derived project model has usage.

-    OpenClaw uses WebSocket-first with SSE fallback (`"auto"`) for `openai/*`.
+    Direct API-key requests use SSE by default. Set `params.transport` when you
+    want Responses WebSocket mode on an eligible official OpenAI endpoint.
 
-    In `"auto"` mode, OpenClaw:
-    - Retries one early WebSocket failure before falling back to SSE
-    - After a failure, marks WebSocket as degraded for 60 seconds and uses SSE
-      during cool-down
-    - Attaches stable session and turn identity headers for retries and
-      reconnects
-    - Normalizes usage counters (`input_tokens` / `prompt_tokens`) across
-      transport variants
+    | Value                 | Behavior |
+    | --------------------- | -------- |
+    | `"sse"` (default)     | Stream each request over SSE |
+    | `"auto"`              | Prefer a session-cached WebSocket, with pre-dispatch SSE fallback |
+    | `"websocket-cached"`  | Explicitly use the session-cached WebSocket path, with the same pre-dispatch SSE fallback |
+    | `"websocket"`         | Use a transient WebSocket for the request, with pre-dispatch SSE fallback |

+    Cached modes keep one eligible connection per session. When the prior
+    request and response still match the current history, OpenClaw sends only
+    the new input and references the prior response with
+    `previous_response_id`. Otherwise it sends full history without that
+    reference.
+
+    A setup or handshake failure before request dispatch falls back to SSE; it
+    is not retried or reconnected first. After dispatch, failures with an
+    unknown outcome remain replay-unsafe and fail closed. The explicit server
+    rejections `previous_response_not_found` and
+    `websocket_connection_limit_reached` are safe exceptions: OpenClaw closes

 Reset advances the live `sessionKey -> sessionId` mapping but keeps the previous SQLite session, transcript, trajectory, and search rows. That history remains searchable under the same session key; ordinary entry and session lists show only the new live mapping. Retained reset history is bounded by the disk budget, not by `resetArchiveRetention`, which only ages archive artifacts. Explicit deletion is different: it writes and verifies a compressed transcript archive (`*.jsonl.deleted.<timestamp>.zst` when zstd is available) before removing the deleted session's rows.

Every fact has a text evidence state. **Absent** means the owning boundary explicitly recorded no value; **unattributed** means a supported path had no usable invoker; **unknown** means expected evidence is missing or unreadable; and **unsupported** means the path has no Phase 0 evidence contract. Color is supplemental only.
+
+Run inspection requires `operator.read` and a Gateway that advertises `audit.run.inspect`. Execution identity collection is off by default; enable `logging.audit.executionIdentity`, restart the Gateway, and record a new run when you need this evidence. Retained contexts are limited to 30 days and 100,000 rows. A known run can therefore report unavailable or expired identity evidence, and a run reference can be ambiguous when it correlates more than one execution. The UI does not guess between executions: choose a returned candidate to navigate to `/activity?view=run&execution=<percent-encoded-execution-id>` and query that exact execution.
+
+The audit ledger is best-effort operational evidence, not a lossless compliance archive. A missing or expired record does not prove that a run or action did not occur. The inspector never displays prompt or message text, command bodies, arguments, file paths, credentials, environment values, raw source identifiers, or arbitrary plugin data. See [Audit history](/gateway/audit) for collection, privacy, retention, and CLI inspection details.

     - Consecutive duplicate text-only messages render as one bubble with a count badge. Messages that carry images, attachments, tool output, or canvas previews are left uncollapsed.
     - User-message bubbles carry transcript actions: a hover rewind button (confirm popover with a "Don't ask again" option) plus right-click **Rewind to here** and **Fork from here**. Rewind repoints the session to the state just before that message and returns its text to the composer for edit and resend (`sessions.rewind`, `operator.admin`); fork creates a new session from the active-path prefix before the message, opens it, and seeds its composer with the same text (`sessions.fork`, `operator.write`). Both actions disable with an explanatory tooltip while the agent is working, apply only to persisted user messages, and are rejected for sessions whose conversation is owned by an external agent harness. Rewind moves chat context only — files and other tool side effects are not reverted — and the pre-rewind transcript remains preserved in the append-only session store. When that store contains multiple transcript branches, the chat title bar shows a branch menu with each branch's latest message, message count, and recency; selecting an inactive branch switches the current session back to that preserved path (`sessions.branches.list`, `operator.read`; `sessions.branches.switch`, `operator.admin`). Branch switching is also unavailable while the agent is working, and selecting the already-active branch is a typed no-op error at the RPC boundary.
     - When a session's checkout sits on a non-default branch of a GitHub repository, the chat view pins pull request chips above the composer: PR number, repo, branch, diff counts, a CI pill, and draft/merged/closed state, each linking to the PR. The row shows at most two chips — live (open/draft) PRs first — and a "Show more" button reveals collapsed merged/closed history. The CI pill opens a small CI monitoring popover with passed/failed/running/skipped check counts and a link to the PR's checks page. The Gateway polls only sessions visible in a connected Control UI and pushes changed snapshots through `controlUi.sessionPullRequests.changed`; it reuses `GH_TOKEN`/`GITHUB_TOKEN` when set. When the GitHub API rate limit is hit, chips keep the last known status and show a warning that the status may be out of date; dismissing a chip hides it for that session in the current browser profile. Before any PR exists, the row shows the branch itself — repo, branch name, and the +/− size of the diff against the default-branch merge base (committed and uncommitted work). Once the pushed branch has commits to compare, the row adds a Create PR button that opens GitHub's new-pull-request page; before that, a session with changed files (committed, uncommitted, or untracked) still gets the row without the button. The row hides itself while an open or draft PR exists; once the branch's PR is merged and the pushed tip still matches the merged head, the row disappears too (returning without the Create PR button only when new local work appears, and with it once new commits are pushed past the merged head). The branch row comes from local git only, so it stays available while GitHub is rate limited and carries the same stale-status warning, since "no PR found" cannot be trusted until the limit resets.
-    - The session diff panel shows what a session's checkout actually changed: the branch button in the workspace rail or chat title bar opens the detail panel with a per-file diff of branch, uncommitted, and untracked work against the checkout's default-branch merge base — status dot, rename arrow, per-file +/− counts, collapsible files, and "N unmodified lines" markers between hunks. Diffs are computed server-side through the `sessions.diff` Gateway method (`operator.read` scope); binary and oversized files degrade to stats-only entries, and the button only appears when the connected Gateway advertises `sessions.diff`.
+    - The session diff panel shows what a session's checkout actually changed: the branch button in the workspace rail or chat title bar opens a dense per-file viewer with normalized added/deleted/modified counts, collapsible files, wrapping and unified/split layouts, file copy/open/editor actions, and "N unmodified lines" markers between hunks. The footer switches between all changes, uncommitted work, and individual commits while showing how far the branch is ahead of its merge base; committed branches also provide a copyable local sync command. Diffs are computed server-side through the `sessions.diff` Gateway method (`operator.read` scope); binary and oversized files degrade to stats-only entries, and the button only appears when the connected Gateway advertises `sessions.diff`.
     - Every Chat pane has a title bar. Click the session title to rename it; the workspace chip copies the checkout path or branch and can reveal local Gateway workspaces in the host file manager. Remote and exec-node sessions keep copy actions but hide reveal.
     - The thread workspace rail in each Chat pane lists thread files, project files, and artifacts. It docks to the pane's right edge by default; drag its header (or use the dock button) to move it to the bottom, and the choice is stored in the current browser profile. A collapsed rail takes no space at all: reopen it with ⇧⌘B or the files toggle in the title bar, which carries a changed-file count badge. The separate file, tool, and Canvas detail panel is unaffected.
     - File paths recognized in chat messages read as their basename with a small glyph for the file type in front — a Markdown page, a `package.json` manifest, a TypeScript source, a `.tsx` component, a config or data file, a shell script, and an image each get their own mark, and anything else falls back to a plain document. When two links in the same message share a basename, each keeps just enough of its trailing path to stay distinct. The full path stays on the link: it is what the tooltip shows, what opens in the file panel, and what the message's **Copy** action returns, since copy hands back the original Markdown. Labels you write yourself in a `[label](path)` link are never rewritten. The glyph is drawn from the bundled icon set, never fetched from the network, and is decorative only: it is not read by screen readers and is not part of copied text. Text that is not a recognizable path — anything carrying spaces, parentheses, a `#` fragment, or a `?` query — stays plain prose.
     - Clicking a file reference in chat, a file path in an expanded read/edit/write tool card, or a file row in the workspace rail opens the file detail panel. UTF-8 text files use a CodeMirror-based code view with syntax highlighting, line numbers, jump-to-line, in-file search, copy actions, and an open-in-external-editor menu. AVIF, GIF, JPEG, PNG, and WebP images no larger than 256 KiB render inline; other binary files show metadata without lossy text decoding. When the Gateway advertises `sessions.files.set` to an `operator.admin` connection, the text panel adds an Edit mode with dirty tracking and Cmd/Ctrl-S save; unsaved drafts survive file, panel, and session navigation in the current browser tab until explicitly saved or discarded. Saves are compare-and-swap on a content hash returned by `sessions.files.get`: if the file changed on disk since it was loaded (for example because the agent kept working), the panel shows a conflict notice with Reload (take the latest content) and Overwrite (keep the local edit) actions. Writes go through the same fs-safe workspace guards as reads — path containment, symlink/hardlink rejection, and a 256 KiB UTF-8 cap — and only overwrite existing files; the editor never creates or deletes them.
-    - The background tasks rail in each Chat pane lists the current agent's background tasks and subagents (`tasks.list` scoped by agent, kept live by `task` events): running work shows a live elapsed timer, tool-use count, the tool currently in use, and a stop control, while the collapsible finished section adds run durations. Selecting a row replaces the list with a compact detail view in the same rail; its back button returns to the list, and subagent inspection never replaces the main conversation with the child transcript. Open the rail with the title-bar activity toggle; the task snapshot loads eagerly, so it carries a running-count badge without opening the rail first. The Tasks page remains the full cross-agent ledger.

Open the rail with the title-bar activity toggle; the task snapshot loads eagerly, so it carries a running-count badge without opening the rail first. The Tasks page remains the full cross-agent ledger.
     - The workspace rail, background tasks rail, and detail panel adapt to each pane's own width rather than the window: in a narrow pane or compact window both rails present as bottom strips (side-dock controls hide until the pane widens; the workspace rail keeps first claim on the side slot when only one column fits), and the detail panel stacks below the thread with a horizontal resize handle instead of sharing the row with it. Phone-sized viewports still open the detail panel full-screen.
     - The chat header model and thinking pickers patch the active session immediately through `sessions.patch`; they are persistent session overrides, not one-turn-only send options.
     - **Split view:** open it from the chat title bar (beside the thread diff, background tasks, and thread files toggles), then split the active pane right or down for as many panes as fit. Each pane has its own thread, transcript, composer, and tool stream.

 These shell commands differ from the in-chat `/codex` runtime commands. In particular, `/codex sessions --host <node>` lists Codex CLI session files on one node, `/codex threads` uses the current conversation's App Server connection, and `/codex resume` or `/codex bind` changes that conversation's binding. There is no `/codex archive` runtime command.
 
+Native Codex plugin catalogs are discoverable with `/codex plugins available`, including repository marketplaces declared in `.agents/plugins/marketplace.json` in the bound workspace. An owner or `operator.admin` can install and authorize an exact plugin with `/codex plugins install <plugin>@<marketplace>`. The owner-scoped `codex_plugins` agent tool only reads marketplace metadata; installation and policy changes stay on authenticated `/codex` management commands. Explicitly installing a plugin trusts its skills, apps, MCP servers, and hooks.
+
 For a supervised branch, Codex App Server selects the snapshot fork's model and provider from its current native configuration. OpenClaw starts the canonical harness thread with exactly that returned pair. Codex persists the canonical thread's native selection, and later resumes preserve it because OpenClaw omits model and provider overrides. OpenClaw cannot substitute its outer runtime, model, or fallback. The returned initial pair can differ from the source's last recorded model.
 
 The visible-history mirror keeps at most 200 user or assistant messages, 512 KiB total, and 64 KiB per message. Image inputs become `[Image attachment]`; image data and local paths are not copied.

 - The viewer is hosted locally through the gateway under `/plugins/diffs/...`.
 - Viewer HTML and metadata are ephemeral SQLite plugin blobs. The URL token is returned to the caller while SQLite stores only its SHA-256 hash.
 - Rendered PNG/PDF files remain temporary materializations in `$TMPDIR/openclaw-diffs` because delivery APIs require a file path. No JSON metadata sidecars are written or imported.
-- Default viewer URLs use loopback (`127.0.0.1`) unless you set plugin `viewerBaseUrl`, pass `baseUrl`, or use `gateway.bind=custom` + `gateway.customBindHost`.
+- Default viewer URLs use `gateway.publicOrigin` when configured, then the existing bind-aware Gateway fallback. Plugin `viewerBaseUrl` and per-call `baseUrl` take precedence.
 - If `gateway.trustedProxies` includes loopback for a same-host proxy (for example Tailscale Serve), raw `127.0.0.1` viewer requests without forwarded client-IP headers fail closed by design.
 - In that topology, prefer `mode=file` / `mode=both` for attachments, or intentionally enable remote viewers and set plugin `viewerBaseUrl` (or pass a proxy/public `baseUrl`) when you need a shareable viewer URL.
 - Remote viewer misses are throttled to reduce token-guess abuse.

-# QQ 频道 API 请求指导
-
-`qqbot_channel_api` 是一个 QQ 开放平台 HTTP 代理工具，**自动填充鉴权 Token**。你只需要指定 HTTP 方法、API 路径、请求体和查询参数。
-
-## 📚 详细参考文档
-
-每个接口的完整参数说明、返回值结构和枚举值定义：
-
-- `references/api_references.md`

-## 🔧 工具参数
-
-| 参数            | 类型    | 必填 | 说明                                                                         |
-| --------------- | ------- | ---- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
-| `method`        | string  | 是   | HTTP 方法：`GET`, `POST`, `PUT`, `PATCH`, `DELETE`                           |
-| `path`          | string  | 是   | API 路径（不含域名），如 `/guilds/{guild_id}/channels`，需替换占位符为实际值 |
-| `body`          | object  | 否   | 请求体 JSON（POST/PUT/PATCH 使用）                                           |
-| `query`         | object  | 否   | URL 查询参数键值对，值为字符串类型                                           |
-| `confirmed`     | boolean | 否   | `DELETE` 必须传 `true`，表示用户已确认精确删除目标                           |
-| `bulkConfirmed` | boolean | 否   | 批量 `DELETE`（如删除全部公告）必须额外传 `true`                             |
-
-> 基础 URL：`https://api.sgroup.qq.com`，鉴权头 `Authorization: QQBot {token}` 由工具自动填充。
-
-## 🛡️ 安全边界
-
-- 只在用户明确要求管理 QQ 频道、子频道、公告、论坛帖子或日程时调用写入接口。
-- `POST`、`PUT`、`PATCH` 和 `DELETE` 会修改真实 QQ 资源。调用前先复述目标频道/子频道/帖子/日程和预期改动；删除、批量删除、公告覆盖等不可逆或大范围操作必须等用户确认后再执行。
-- 删除前优先用 `GET`/列表接口查出候选项，让用户选择具体 ID；不要根据模糊名称猜测删除目标。
-- `DELETE` 请求必须传 `confirmed: true`，否则工具会拒绝执行。`announces/all` 这样的批量操作还必须传 `bulkConfirmed: true`，只有在用户明确说要删除全部公告并再次确认后才可使用。
-- 成员资料、头像 URL、频道图标等属于用户/群组资料。默认只总结必要字段；只有用户要求查看头像/图标或视觉比对时才内联展示图片，不要无关转发头像 URL。

-### 受确认保护的删除流程
-
-删除类 QQ API 不作为普通速查示例暴露。若用户明确要求删除资源，先读取并复述目标对象，确认后再调用 `qqbot_channel_api`：`method` 设为 `"DELETE"`，`confirmed` 设为 `true`，`path` 使用已确认对象对应的资源路径。
-
-| 删除对象 | 已确认后使用的 `path`                            | 额外要求                                 |
-| -------- | ------------------------------------------------ | ---------------------------------------- |
-| 子频道   | `/channels/{channel_id}`                         | 确认子频道 ID 和名称                     |
-| 单条公告 | `/guilds/{guild_id}/announces/{message_id}`      | 确认公告 ID                              |
-| 全部公告 | `/guilds/{guild_id}/announces/all`               | 用户再次确认后再传 `bulkConfirmed: true` |
-| 帖子     | `/channels/{channel_id}/threads/{thread_id}`     | 确认帖子 ID、标题/作者                   |
-| 日程     | `/channels/{channel_id}/schedules/{schedule_id}` | 确认日程 ID、名称/时间                   |

-## 🔄 常用操作流程
-
-### 获取频道和子频道信息
-
-```
-1. GET /users/@me/guilds → 获取频道列表，拿到 guild_id
-2. GET /guilds/{guild_id}/channels → 获取子频道列表，拿到 channel_id
-3. GET /channels/{channel_id} → 获取子频道详情
-```
-
-### 论坛发帖 + 评论
-
-```
-1. GET /guilds/{guild_id}/channels → 找到论坛子频道（type=10007）
-2. PUT /channels/{channel_id}/threads → 发表帖子
-3. GET /channels/{channel_id}/threads → 获取帖子列表
-4. GET /channels/{channel_id}/threads/{thread_id} → 获取帖子详情（含 author_id）
-5. POST /channels/{channel_id}/threads/{thread_id}/comment → 发表评论
-```
-
-### 成员管理
-
-```
-1. GET /users/@me/guilds → 获取 guild_id
-2. GET /guilds/{guild_id}/members?after=0&limit=100 → 获取成员列表
-   翻页：用上次最后一个 user.id 作为 after，直到返回空数组
-3. GET /guilds/{guild_id}/members/{user_id} → 获取指定成员详情
-```
-
-### 展示成员头像
-
-成员详情返回的 `user.avatar` 是头像 URL。默认只展示昵称、ID、加入时间等必要字段；当用户明确要求查看头像/图标或头像是当前任务的必要依据时，再用 Markdown 图片语法内联展示：
-
-```
-成员信息：
-· 昵称：{nick}
-· 头像：
-![头像]({user.avatar})
-```
-
-不要无关输出原始头像 URL 或把头像作为普通链接转发。频道的 `icon` 字段同理：仅在用户明确需要查看时展示。

-## ⚠️ 注意事项
-
-1. **路径中的占位符**（如 `{guild_id}`、`{channel_id}`）必须替换为实际值
-2. **query 参数的值必须为字符串类型**，如 `{ "limit": "100" }` 而非 `{ "limit": 100 }`
-3. **成员列表翻页**时可能返回重复成员，需按 `user.id` 去重
-4. **公告**的两种类型（消息公告和推荐子频道公告）会互相顶替
-5. **日程**的时间戳为毫秒级字符串
-6. **删除操作不可逆**，必须先确认精确目标并传 `confirmed: true`；批量删除需二次确认并传 `bulkConfirmed: true`
-7. **论坛操作**仅私域机器人可用
-8. **子频道分组**（type=4）的 `position` 必须 >= 2
-9. **日程操作**有频率限制：单个管理员每天 10 次，单个频道每天 100 次
-10. **头像/图标展示**：成员 `user.avatar` 和频道 `icon` 等图片 URL 属于资料信息；默认总结必要字段，只在用户明确需要查看图片时用 Markdown 图片语法 `![描述](URL)` 展示

-# QQ 频道 API 完整参考
-
-本文档包含 QQ 开放平台频道相关所有接口的详细参数说明、返回值结构和枚举值定义。
-
-通过 `qqbot_channel_api` 工具代理请求，工具自动处理鉴权。
-
-## 调用安全规则
-
-- `POST`、`PUT`、`PATCH` 和 `DELETE` 会修改真实 QQ 资源。调用前确认用户明确授权了该操作。
-- 删除接口不可逆。删除前先用读取接口确认目标 ID、名称和范围，并把将要删除的对象复述给用户；`qqbot_channel_api` 要求 `confirmed: true` 才会执行 `DELETE`。
-- 批量删除 sentinel 必须二次确认并额外传 `bulkConfirmed: true`；不要把模糊表达自动扩展成“删除全部”。
-- 删除端点不作为普通 agent 速查路径列出。需要删除时，先用读取接口确认对象，再通过受确认保护的删除流程执行。
-- 成员资料和头像 URL 只用于当前请求；除非用户明确要求查看头像/图标，不要内联展示或转发这些图片 URL。

-# QQBot 富媒体收发
-
-## 用法
-
-```
-<qqmedia>{实际路径或URL}</qqmedia>
-```
-
-系统根据文件扩展名自动识别类型并路由：
-
-- `.jpg/.png/.gif/.webp/.bmp` → 图片
-- `.silk/.wav/.mp3/.ogg/.aac/.flac` 等 → 语音
-- `.mp4/.mov/.avi/.mkv/.webm` 等 → 视频
-- 其他扩展名 → 文件
-- 无扩展名的当前会话本地/host-read 媒体 → 按加载出的实际媒体类型路由
-- 无扩展名的远程 URL → 可能按文件发送；如需图片/语音/视频，请提供能识别类型的 URL/路径或使用明确媒体标签
-
-## 接收媒体
-
-- 用户发来的**图片**会由 QQBot 运行时下载到 OpenClaw 管理的 QQBot media 目录，路径只作为当前会话的附件上下文使用。
-- 用户发来的**语音**路径在上下文中；若有 STT 能力则优先转写。
-- 附件路径和远程 URL 可能包含用户私有内容。不要无关输出本地绝对路径，不要把附件转发到其他会话；只有用户明确要求回发、分析或转存该媒体时才使用。
-- 不承诺长期保留附件。若用户需要长期保存，说明应由用户自行保存或重新发送。
-
-## 规则
-
-1. **标签必须用开闭标签包裹实际路径或 URL**：`<qqmedia>{实际路径或URL}</qqmedia>`
-2. **使用你实际看到的文件路径**：刚创建文件时，用创建结果显示的路径；只有当沙箱 workspace-write 创建结果实际显示 `/workspace/...` 时，才按原样使用该路径，例如 `<qqmedia>/workspace/report.pdf</qqmedia>`。
-3. **附件路径直接使用上下文给出的路径**：如果路径来自会话【附件】上下文，不要改写成 `/workspace/...`。
-4. **URL 可以直接发送**：例如 `<qqmedia>https://example.com/image.png</qqmedia>`。
-5. **本地路径仍受安全根限制**：只能发送当前会话授权的 agent workspace、scoped media roots、OpenClaw 媒体目录或 QQBot 媒体目录内的文件；不要使用 `..` 逃出工作区。
-6. **不要扫描或主动发送上下文之外的本地文件**：只使用用户提供、工具刚生成，或当前会话上下文明确给出的路径。
-7. **文件大小上限**：图片 30MB / 视频 100MB / 文件 100MB / 语音 20MB
-8. **你有能力发送本地图片/文件**，直接用标签包裹路径即可，**不要说"无法发送"**
-9. 发送语音时不要重复语音中已朗读的文字
-10. 多个媒体用多个标签
-11. 以会话上下文中的能力说明为准（如未启用语音则不要发语音）

-# QQ Bot 定时提醒
-
-## ⚠️ 意图规则
-
-只有当用户明确要求创建、查询或取消提醒/闹钟/定时任务时，才调用工具。闲聊、假设、解释提醒功能、讨论将来计划但未要求创建提醒时，不要调用工具。
-
-如果用户确实要求提醒，你没有内存或后台线程，口头承诺"到时候提醒"是无效的——必须调用工具才能真正注册定时任务。时间、提醒内容、目标会话或时区不清楚时先追问；不要替用户猜测。
-
----
-
-## 推荐流程（使用 `qqbot_remind` 工具）
-
-**第一步**：调用 `qqbot_remind` 工具，传入简单参数：
-
-| 参数       | 说明                                         | 示例                                        |
-| ---------- | -------------------------------------------- | ------------------------------------------- |
-| `action`   | 操作类型                                     | `"add"` / `"list"` / `"remove"`             |
-| `content`  | 提醒内容                                     | `"喝水"`                                    |
-| `to`       | 目标地址（可选，系统自动获取，通常无需填写） | —                                           |
-| `time`     | 时间（相对时间或 cron 表达式）               | `"5m"` / `"1h30m"` / `"0 8 * * *"`          |
-| `timezone` | IANA 时区（周期提醒建议明确传入）            | `"Asia/Shanghai"` / `"America/Los_Angeles"` |
-| `jobId`    | 任务 ID（仅 remove）                         | `"xxx"`                                     |
-
-**第二步**：根据 `qqbot_remind` 的返回结果，回复用户。`qqbot_remind` 会直接创建、查询或取消 Gateway cron 任务；成功后不要再调用 `cron` 工具。
-
-### 示例
-
-用户说："5分钟后提醒我喝水"
-
-1. 调用 `qqbot_remind`：`{ "action": "add", "content": "喝水", "time": "5m" }`
-2. 工具返回成功后，回复用户：`⏰ 好的，5分钟后提醒你喝水~`
-
-`qqbot_remind` 不可用时，不要绕过它直接创建 Gateway 任务。说明当前无法安全注册 QQ 提醒，并建议用户检查 QQBot 工具配置。
-

-## cron 表达式速查
-
-| 场景           | expr             |
-| -------------- | ---------------- |
-| 每天早上8点    | `"0 8 * * *"`    |
-| 每天晚上10点   | `"0 22 * * *"`   |
-| 工作日早上9点  | `"0 9 * * 1-5"`  |
-| 每周一早上9点  | `"0 9 * * 1"`    |
-| 每周末上午10点 | `"0 10 * * 0,6"` |
-| 每小时整点     | `"0 * * * *"`    |
-
-> 周期提醒应使用用户明确提供、用户资料/会话中可信可得，或用户确认过的 IANA 时区。无法判断时先追问；不要把所有用户都假定在同一时区。
-

-## AI 决策指南
-
-| 用户说法            | action           | time 格式       |
-| ------------------- | ---------------- | --------------- |
-| "5分钟后提醒我喝水" | `add`            | `"5m"`          |
-| "1小时后提醒开会"   | `add`            | `"1h"`          |
-| "每天8点提醒我打卡" | `add`            | `"0 8 * * *"`   |
-| "工作日早上9点提醒" | `add`            | `"0 9 * * 1-5"` |
-| "我有哪些提醒"      | `list`           | —               |
-| "取消喝水提醒"      | `remove`         | —               |
-| "修改提醒时间"      | `remove` → `add` | —               |
-| "提醒我"（无时间）  | **需追问**       | —               |
-
-纯相对时间（"5分钟后"、"1小时后"）可直接计算，无需确认。时间、日期、周期、内容或时区模糊/缺失时需追问。周期提醒在回复中说明解释后的本地时间和时区。

- * QQ Bot Approval Capability — entry point.

- * originating conversation and any participant can approve from there.
- *
- * When `execApprovals` IS configured, it gates which requests are
- * handled natively and who is authorized.  When it is NOT configured,
- * QQBot falls back to "always handle, anyone can approve".

- * Bootstrap the PlatformAdapter for the built-in version.
- *
- * ## Design
- *
- * The adapter is registered via two complementary mechanisms:
- *
- * 1. **Factory registration** (`registerPlatformAdapterFactory`) — a lightweight
- *    callback stored in `adapter/index.ts` that is invoked lazily by
- *    `getPlatformAdapter()` on first access. This guarantees the adapter is
- *    available regardless of module evaluation order or bundler chunk splitting.
- *
- * 2. **Eager side-effect** (`ensurePlatformAdapter()`) — called at module
- *    evaluation time when `channel.ts` imports this file. Provides the adapter
- *    immediately for code that runs synchronously during startup.
- *
- * Heavy async-only dependencies (`media-runtime`, `config-runtime`,
- * `approval-gateway-runtime`) are lazy-imported inside each async method body
- * so that this module evaluates with minimal overhead.
- *
- * Synchronous dependencies (`secret-input`, `temp-path`) are imported
- * statically at the top level so they work reliably in both production and
- * vitest (which resolves bare specifiers via `resolve.alias`, not Node CJS).

- * Regression tests for QQBot command authorization alignment with the shared

- *
- * Covers the regression identified in the code review:
- *
- *   allowFrom entries with the qqbot: prefix must normalize correctly so that
- *   "qqbot:<id>" in channel.allowFrom matches the inbound event.senderId "<id>".
- *   Verified against the normalization logic in the gateway.ts inbound path.
- *
- * Note: framework command authorization precedence is covered by the

-// QQBot delivery trace goldens: replayable wire-level lifecycle recordings for
-// the budget-constrained REPLACE-mode streaming channel.
-//
-// Wires the real engine paths the gateway uses — StreamingController
-// (engine/messaging/streaming-c2c.ts), the typing keepalive with QQ passive
-// reply budget accounting (engine/gateway/typing-keepalive.ts +
-// gateway.ts startTypingForEvent), the static block-deliver pipeline
-// (engine/gateway/outbound-dispatch.ts deliver wiring →
-// engine/messaging/outbound-deliver.ts), and the common budget-limited sender
-// path (engine/messaging/sender.ts text/media sends with ReplyLimiter proactive
-// fallback) — against a recording ApiClient mock, so
-// OUT events are the raw QQ Open Platform HTTP calls. Every wire call that
-// carries `msg_id` + `msg_seq` spends QQ's ≤5-per-msg_id passive reply
-// budget; typing renewals count against it, which is the point of this
-// channel's traces.
-//
-// The gateway's per-turn glue (markBlockResponse, static fallback ordering,
-// the dispatch `finally` finalization) is replicated inline from
-// outbound-dispatch.ts; the scripted steps stand in for the dispatcher
-// callbacks. Deliberately AS-IS captured behavior (not blessed as ideal):
-// - A cancelled run still finalizes the stream via onIdle with a DONE chunk
-//   that re-sends the accumulated partial text unchanged (abortStreaming only
-//   runs when finalization throws, and performFlush/finalize have no dirty
-//   check against the last sent chunk).
-// Refresh goldens with OPENCLAW_TRACE_UPDATE=1 (see delivery-trace harness docs).

-/**
- * Chunked media upload for the QQ Open Platform.
- *
- * ## Flow (mirrors the upload sequence diagram)
- *
- * 1. `upload_prepare` — submit file metadata + (md5 / sha1 / md5_10m) hashes,
- *    receive `{ upload_id, block_size, parts[], concurrency?, retry_timeout? }`.
- * 2. For every part (parallelized under a bounded concurrency):
- *    a. Read the part bytes (stream from disk or slice in-memory buffer).
- *    b. PUT the bytes to the pre-signed COS URL.
- *    c. POST `upload_part_finish { upload_id, part_index, block_size, md5 }`,
- *       retrying under {@link PART_FINISH_RETRY_POLICY} + the persistent
- *       retry loop for {@link PART_FINISH_RETRYABLE_CODES}.
- * 3. POST `complete_upload { upload_id }` — returns `{ file_uuid, file_info,
- *    ttl }` identical to the one-shot path.
- * 4. If `upload_prepare` returns {@link UPLOAD_PREPARE_FALLBACK_CODE}
- *    (`40093002` — daily upload quota exceeded), throw
- *    {@link UploadDailyLimitExceededError} so the upper layer can surface a
- *    user-facing message. The dispatcher is responsible for the fallback
- *    (there is no server path that will accept the file at this point).
- *
- * ## Why a class
- *
- * Mirrors {@link MediaApi}: injects {@link ApiClient}, {@link TokenManager},
- * the upload cache adapter, an optional filename sanitizer, and a logger.
- * Keeping the client singleton plumbing consistent means only one place
- * manages UA / baseUrl / file-upload timeouts.
- *
- * ## Upload cache integration
- *
- * Chunked uploads participate in the same `file_info` cache as
- * {@link MediaApi.uploadMedia}. The cache key is derived from the full-file
- * md5 (already computed for `upload_prepare`) so repeat sends of the same
- * large file hit the cache before we even talk to `upload_prepare`.

- * Media upload API for the QQ Open Platform (small-file direct upload).
- *
- * Key improvements:
- * - Unified `uploadMedia(scope, ...)` replaces `uploadC2CMedia` + `uploadGroupMedia`.
- * - Upload cache integration via composition (passed in constructor).
- * - Uses `withRetry` from the shared retry engine.
- *
- * Chunked upload for files above `LARGE_FILE_THRESHOLD` is tracked by
- * {@link ./media-chunked.ts}; this module currently handles only the
- * one-shot path.

-/**
- * Credential backup & recovery.
- * 凭证暂存与恢复。
- *
- * Solves the "hot-upgrade interrupted, appId/secret vanished from
- * openclaw.json" failure mode.
- *
- * Mechanics:
- *   - After each successful gateway start we snapshot the currently
- *     resolved `appId` / `clientSecret` to a per-account SQLite KV entry.
- *   - During plugin startup, if the live config has an empty appId or
- *     secret, the gateway consults the backup and restores the values
- *     via the config mutation API.
- *   - Legacy JSON backups are imported by `openclaw doctor --fix`, not by
- *     runtime startup.
- *
- * Safety notes:
- *   - Only restore when credentials are **actually empty** — never
- *     overwrite a user's intentional config change.
- *   - Per-account key only; not keyed by appId because recovery happens
- *     precisely when appId is unknown.

-/**
- * Merge several queued group messages into one representative message.
- *
- * Merge semantics:
- *   - `content` is joined with newlines; each line prefixed with `[sender]`
- *     so the downstream formatter can attribute speakers.
- *   - `attachments` is concatenated.
- *   - `mentions` is deduplicated by member/user openid; if *any* source
- *     message was a `GROUP_AT_MESSAGE_CREATE`, the merged result inherits
- *     that eventType (the merged turn effectively @-s the bot).
- *   - `messageId`, `msgIdx`, `timestamp` come from the last message — the
- *     most recent identity is what the outbound reply should quote.
- *   - `refMsgIdx` (the message that the user quoted) comes from the FIRST
- *     message in the batch because the first quote anchors the topic.
- *   - `senderIsBot` is true only when every source message was authored
- *     by a bot. Any human participation flips the flag.
- *
- * A single-message batch is returned unchanged (no merge overhead).

-/**
- * QQBot outbound response watchdog timeout resolver.
- *
- * Background — issue #85267:
- *   The reporter ran openclaw + ollama + `qwen3.5:27b` (a slow local model)
- *   with `models.providers.ollama.timeoutSeconds: 1800` and saw the
- *   QQBot reply path abort at ~5 minutes with "LLM request timed out",
- *   despite the direct ollama call to the same model working. The
- *   embedded-runner / idle-timeout layer already honors longer
- *   provider timeouts (see `src/agents/embedded-agent-runner/run/llm-idle-timeout.ts`),
- *   but the QQBot outbound dispatcher held an independent hardcoded
- *   `RESPONSE_TIMEOUT = 300_000` watchdog that quietly undercut the
- *   configured ceiling.
- *
- * Fix shape (clawsweeper `clawsweeper:fix-shape-clear`):
- *   Don't add a new QQBot-only knob. Instead derive the QQBot wait
- *   budget from the existing agent/provider timeout settings the user
- *   already configured:
- *     - `agents.defaults.timeoutSeconds`
- *     - `models.providers.<id>.timeoutSeconds` (max across configured providers)
- *   Take the maximum and clamp to `[DEFAULT_RESPONSE_TIMEOUT_MS, MAX_TIMER_TIMEOUT_MS]`.
- *   The default floor preserves the existing 5-minute guard for users
- *   that have not configured any longer ceiling — i.e. a no-op for
- *   typical cloud-model deployments.

-/**
- * Unified media-source abstraction for the QQ Bot upload pipeline.
- *
- * All rich-media entry points (sender.ts#sendMedia, outbound.ts#send*,
- * reply-dispatcher.ts#handle*Payload) funnel through {@link normalizeSource}
- * before reaching the low-level {@link MediaApi}.
- *
- * ## Why four branches?
- *
- * - `url` — remote http(s) URL that the QQ server can fetch directly.
- * - `base64` — in-memory base64 string (typically from a `data:` URL).
- * - `localPath` — on-disk file; kept as a path plus an optional verified
- *   descriptor so uploaders can avoid reopening a path after validation.
- * - `buffer` — in-memory raw bytes (e.g. TTS output, downloaded url-fallback).
- *
- * ## Security baseline (localPath branch)
- *
- * `openLocalFile` is the single canonical implementation of "safely open a
- * local file for upload" across the plugin. It merges the previously
- * inconsistent strategies from `reply-dispatcher.ts` (O_NOFOLLOW + size check)
- * and `outbound.ts` (realpath + root containment). Callers are still
- * responsible for *root-whitelist* validation (via
- * `resolveQQBotPayloadLocalFilePath` / `resolveOutboundMediaPath`) before
- * passing the path in; this function enforces *file-level* safety only.
- *
- * Chunked upload is not implemented in this PR, but the contract here already
- * returns `size` metadata so `sendMediaInternal` can route by size without
- * reading the whole file first.

- * - Strings passed via `{ url }` that start with `data:` are auto-resolved
- *   to a `base64` branch (this is the unified `data:` URL support that was
- *   previously only implemented in `sendImage`).
- * - `localPath` branches open the file with {@link openLocalFile} and carry
- *   that descriptor to the uploader, so later reads use the exact file that
- *   passed regular-file / O_NOFOLLOW / size validation.
- * - `buffer` branches enforce the same ceiling inline.
- *
- * `maxSize` defaults to {@link MAX_UPLOAD_SIZE} (20MB, one-shot upload limit).
- * Callers that dispatch to the chunked uploader should pass a larger ceiling
- * (e.g. `CHUNKED_UPLOAD_MAX_SIZE`, or a value derived from
- * `getMaxUploadSize(fileType)`).
- *
- * NOTE: Root-whitelist validation (i.e. "this path must live under the
- * allowed QQ Bot media directory") is a caller concern. This function
- * assumes the path has already passed such checks.

-/**
- * QQ Bot Streaming Message Controller
- *
- * Core principles:
- * 1. Never mutate original content (no trim, no strip) to avoid PREFIX MISMATCH.
- * 2. Media tags are sent synchronously — wait for completion before proceeding.
- * 3. When a rich-media tag (including an unclosed prefix) is encountered,
- *    terminate the active streaming session first, then handle the media.
- * 4. Whitespace-only chunk handling:
- *    - First chunk is whitespace → defer sending (do not open a stream), but retain content.
- *    - Interrupted by a media tag or ended while still whitespace-only → skip sending.
- *    - Ended with an active streaming session (prior non-whitespace chunks exist) → send the whitespace chunk.
- * 5. Reply boundary detection uses prefix matching (not just length reduction):
- *    if the new text is not a prefix continuation of the last processed text,
- *    it is treated as a new message.

-/**
- * Single source of truth for rendering attachment summaries as
- * human-readable tags that the LLM sees.
- *
- * There is exactly ONE vocabulary shared by every consumer:
- *
- *   • Type labels: `image` / `voice` / `video` / `file` / `attachment`
- *   • Keyword for voice text: `transcript:` (never `content:`)
- *   • With source: `[{type}: {source}]`
- *   • Without source: `[{type}]` or `[{type}: {filename}]`
- *
- * Both consumers (group history / current inbound event, and the ref-index
- * quoted-message block) call the same function with the same vocabulary.
- * They differ only on two orthogonal dimensions:
- *
- *   1. `transcriptSource` — ref mode appends `[source: local STT]` (or
- *      similar) after a voice transcript so the model knows where the
- *      text came from. Inline mode omits this (the current turn knows
- *      its own STT provenance).
- *
- *   2. Separator — inline joins with `\n` (history replay is multi-line),
- *      ref joins with a space (quoted block is rendered inline).
- *
- * These are the ONLY permitted differences between modes. Any new
- * decoration must be added in both modes or behind an explicit option
- * documented here, otherwise the model ends up learning two dialects.

 ## Unreleased
 
 - Add bounded `sessions.patchMany` session mutation orchestration.
+- Preserve required legacy agent-default fields while adding honest `ownership` and `selectionRequired` state to agent lists and initial snapshots.
 - Add semantic `agent` / `system` roster kinds negotiated through the `agent-kind` client capability.
 - Rename structured-question item `id` to `questionId` and flatten keyed answer arrays.
 - Slim worker and session-catalog payloads to the active wire contract.

+  surface: gateway

+      - gateway.identity-and-presence-apis
+      - gateway.exec-approvals
+  objective: Verify a denied operator approval is durably explained from its authoritative first-answer row through the audit CLI.
+  successCriteria:
+    - A real Gateway agent turn against the deterministic mock provider records one execution identity context.
+    - A real trusted agent exec request records an exact execution binding, is denied by an approval-capable Gateway client, and a conflicting later allow cannot replace the first answer.
+    - Text and JSON audit output report the denial reason, enforced state, authoritative durable owner, bounded policy references, and remediation.
+    - Receipt output omits raw command, tool-call, and reviewer-device details and creates no generic duplicate.
+    - A positive numeric compatibility cursor resumes the bounded decision receipt page and returns an opaque successor accepted by the same Gateway handler.
+    - A replacement Gateway process returns byte-equivalent decision inspection JSON.

+  coverage:
+    secondary:
+      - gateway.session-apis-sessions-list
+  objective: Prove a static-SSH worker can disappear during a streamed turn without losing or duplicating its already committed transcript prefix, silently hanging the turn, or breaking redispatch context.
+  successCriteria:
+    - A managed-worktree qa-channel session dispatches to a real static-SSH worker through an isolated Gateway.
+    - The mock model persists two assistant/tool-result checkpoints, then pauses during a fifth streamed message.
+    - Killing the proof-owned SSH and worker process tree leaves exactly the four completed checkpoint messages in Gateway history.
+    - The volatile streamed message is absent from durable history while the turn emits a visible chat error and the placement records a bounded terminal reason.
+    - Restarting the static-SSH host and redispatching the same session produces one successful recovery turn whose inference context contains each checkpoint exactly once.

+# OpenClaw on Cloudflare Containers (experimental)
+
+This template runs one OpenClaw installation behind a Cloudflare Worker and one named Durable Object. The Durable Object starts a `standard-2` Container from a public, digest-pinned Docker Hub image. Litestream continuously replicates the global and per-agent SQLite databases to R2 through its S3-compatible API.
+
+This is an experimental deployment target. Read [Operational constraints](#operational-constraints) before using it with real credentials or relying on it for recovery.
+
+## Architecture
+
+```text
+HTTP/WebSocket request
+        |
+        v
+Cloudflare Worker
+        |
+        v
+OpenClawContainer Durable Object (one stable name)
+        |
+        v
+OpenClaw + Litestream container :8080
+        |
+        +--> R2 S3 API (SQLite replicas)
+```
+
+Every HTTP and WebSocket request is forwarded to port `8080`. The Container helper checks `GET /startupz` before admitting traffic. `max_instances: 1` and the single Durable Object name are the installation's outer single-writer fence.
+
+## Prerequisites
+
+- A Cloudflare account with Workers, Containers, and R2 available
+- Docker Buildx with `linux/amd64` support
+- A public Docker Hub repository for the derived image
+- Node.js and npm
+- Model-provider and channel credentials for the OpenClaw setup you choose
+
+## 1. Create the R2 bucket and S3 credentials
+
+From this directory:
+
+```bash
+npm install
+npx wrangler login
+npx wrangler whoami
+npx wrangler r2 bucket create openclaw-backups
+```
+
+In the Cloudflare dashboard, create an R2 API token with object read/write access limited to this bucket. Record its access key ID and secret access key. Do not put either value in this checkout.
+
+Edit `wrangler.jsonc`:
+
+- replace `<account-id>` in `LITESTREAM_ENDPOINT`
+- change both `LITESTREAM_BUCKET` and `r2_buckets[].bucket_name` if you chose another bucket name
+
+The R2 binding is present for Worker-side completeness. Litestream runs inside the Container and cannot consume a Worker binding directly, so it uses R2's S3 endpoint and Worker secrets passed through `envVars`.
+
+## 2. Build and publish the image
+
+Choose an immutable, architecture-compatible digest from the official [`openclaw/openclaw`](https://hub.docker.com/r/openclaw/openclaw) Docker Hub repository. Replace `<official-openclaw-image-digest>` in `Dockerfile`, then build and push the derived image:
+
+```bash
+docker buildx build \
+  --platform linux/amd64 \
+  --tag docker.io/<docker-hub-user>/openclaw-cloudflare:<version> \
+  --push \
+  .
+```
+
+Make the derived repository public. Resolve its pushed digest, then replace the `containers[].image` placeholder in `wrangler.jsonc`:
+
+```bash
+docker buildx imagetools inspect docker.io/<docker-hub-user>/openclaw-cloudflare:<version>
+```
+
+Use the resulting immutable `docker.io/<docker-hub-user>/openclaw-cloudflare@sha256:<digest>` reference. Cloudflare Containers can pull public Docker Hub images, but not GHCR images directly.
+
+## 3. Deploy and set secrets
+
+The first deploy creates the Worker, Durable Object migration, Container application, and R2 binding:
+
+```bash
+npm run check
+npm run deploy
+```
+
+Immediately add the R2 and Gateway secrets. `wrangler secret put` prompts without writing the value to shell history:
+
+```bash
+npx wrangler secret put LITESTREAM_ACCESS_KEY_ID
+npx wrangler secret put LITESTREAM_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY
+npx wrangler secret put OPENCLAW_GATEWAY_TOKEN
+```
+
+Add the provider and channel variables needed by your installation, for example:
+
+```bash
+npx wrangler secret put OPENAI_API_KEY
+npx wrangler secret put TELEGRAM_BOT_TOKEN
+```
+
+`src/container.ts` passes the listed optional secret names to the Container. Add another explicit name there before using a different environment-backed provider or channel credential.
+
+## 4. Bootstrap OpenClaw
+
+Open the deployed Worker URL once to start the named instance. Then find the Container application and instance IDs:
+
+```bash
+npx wrangler containers list
+npx wrangler containers instances <application-id> --json
+npx wrangler containers ssh <instance-id>
+```
+
+Inside the Container, run the non-interactive SecretRef bootstrap. This example uses OpenAI and Telegram; select the provider and webhook-capable channel that match your secrets:
+
+```bash
+cd /app
+node openclaw.mjs onboard --non-interactive --accept-risk --skip-health \
+  --mode local \
+  --auth-choice openai-api-key \
+  --secret-input-mode ref \
+  --gateway-auth token \
+  --gateway-token-ref-env OPENCLAW_GATEWAY_TOKEN \
+  --skip-channels \
+  --no-install-daemon
+node openclaw.mjs channels add --channel telegram --use-env
+node openclaw.mjs doctor --json
+```
+
+Keep the exact bootstrap recipe in a private, reproducible runbook. Litestream does not replicate `openclaw.json`, credential files, installed plugin files, or workspaces.
+
+## 5. Verify before relying on it
+
+```bash
+curl -sS https://<worker-subdomain>.workers.dev/startupz
+npx wrangler tail
+```
+
+Then rehearse recovery, because an untested restore path is not a backup: send one message, wait about ten seconds for replication, force a Container replacement, and confirm the conversation survives. Fix replication before connecting production channels if it does not.
+
+Measured on this template against a real R2 bucket: about 2.4 s write-to-replica, about 9 s to restore both databases, and a healthy Gateway about 13 s after a fresh start.
+
+## Scale-to-zero policy
+
+The template defaults `OPENCLAW_WEBHOOK_ONLY` to `false`. This keeps the Container alive across idle periods for Discord, Slack Socket Mode, WhatsApp, and every other channel that maintains a socket or polling process.
+
+Cost follows directly from that choice. Memory and disk bill on provisioned instance resources for as long as the Container is awake, so an always-on `standard-2` is dominated by its 6 GiB of provisioned memory rather than by agent activity -- roughly 40 to 50 US dollars per month at published rates, where a small always-on VM is often cheaper. A sleeping webhook-only Container bills nothing. Check [current rates](https://developers.cloudflare.com/containers/pricing/) before committing.
+
+Set `OPENCLAW_WEBHOOK_ONLY` to `true` only when every enabled channel receives traffic through HTTP webhooks. The Container then stops after ten idle minutes and cold-starts on the next request. Because its disk is fresh after sleep, enable this only when an external process can reapply the declarative bootstrap above; Litestream alone restores SQLite, not the config files needed to activate channels.
+
+## Operational constraints
+
+- **Experimental:** Cloudflare Container lifecycle and rollout behavior can change. Test crash, sleep, rollout, and restore paths with non-production credentials first.
+- **Single-writer fence:** Cloudflare guarantees one live Durable Object instance for a given name, and all Worker requests use the same name. This is the fence around one Litestream replica. A brief old/new Container overlap during replacement or rollout remains an accepted experimental tradeoff; do not raise `max_instances` or route around the named object.
+- **Ephemeral disk:** Every Container restart or sleep starts with a fresh filesystem. The entrypoint lists R2 objects, derives the concrete SQLite restore manifest, restores each database, then starts OpenClaw under Litestream.
+- **Partial durability:** Litestream covers `/home/node/.openclaw/state/*.sqlite` and recursive per-agent SQLite databases only. Use a separate, private [`openclaw backup create`](https://docs.openclaw.ai/install/backups#full-archives) workflow for config, credential files, plugins, and workspaces.
+- **RPO:** `sync-interval: 1s` normally yields a seconds-scale recovery point, not zero data loss. Abrupt termination can lose writes that were not uploaded yet.
+- **Rollback is time travel:** Restoring older state can desynchronize ratcheting channel credentials (especially WhatsApp), roll back approvals, and roll back delivery/dedupe state. Relink affected channels and review pending approvals before resuming.
+- **WebSocket limit:** Cloudflare accepts received WebSocket messages up to 32 MiB. The Worker/Container proxy supports WebSockets; larger individual messages are closed by the platform.
+- **Egress identity:** outbound traffic comes from shared Cloudflare IP space. Providers that require a fixed source IP need another deployment target or an approved egress design.
+- **Not a `cloudWorkers` provider:** this is a hosting template. Operator SSH access is enabled for bootstrap, but the template does not implement OpenClaw's SSH-based cloud-worker provider contract.
+
+## Updating
+
+Build a new derived image from a new immutable official OpenClaw digest, push it, replace the derived digest in `wrangler.jsonc`, and run:
+
+```bash
+npm run check
+npm run deploy
+```
+
+Treat rollbacks like restores: stop traffic where possible, preserve the current state first, and review credentials, approvals, and delivery state before activating older database bytes.
+
+## Troubleshooting
+
+- **Container never becomes ready:** the image must be `linux/amd64` and pulled from a public registry, referenced by digest rather than a moving tag.
+- **Requests time out after a successful deploy:** the Container helper waits for `GET /startupz` on port `8080`; confirm the Gateway still binds that port.
+- **Litestream authentication or signature errors:** Litestream needs R2 _S3 API_ credentials, not a Cloudflare API token, and `LITESTREAM_ENDPOINT` must contain the account ID.
+- **First boot reports no databases to restore:** expected on an empty bucket; the entrypoint treats that as a fresh installation.
+- **`/readyz` is 503 while `/startupz` is 200:** by design. Startup finished and a channel account is unhealthy; inspect channel status instead of restarting.
+- **`wrangler containers ssh` rejected:** SSH ships disabled; add `"ssh": { "enabled": true }`, redeploy, then connect.
+- **Config missing after sleep or redeploy:** Litestream restores SQLite only. Reapply the bootstrap runbook or stay always-on and take full archives.

+
+I finished the Control UI transcript refactor. Ordinary messages render exactly as before, but a long assistant response no longer leaves the operator behind a disclosure control when the complete Markdown is available.
+
+## What was wrong
+
+The transcript list already knew the session key and stable message id, while each message group separately derived enough state to render Markdown, copy text, and build reply context. When history contained a transport-limited preview, those consumers could disagree: the bubble showed the preview, Copy used cached text, and Reply rebuilt text from the original transcript entry.
+
+The underlying problem was ownership. Full-message loading already belonged to the thread, but visibility was controlled farther down the render tree. That meant the UI could possess the complete response and still choose to show only the preview until someone clicked Show more.
+
+## Files reviewed
+
+### ui/src/pages/chat/chat-thread.ts
+
+The page owns the session-scoped map of assistant message expansions. Each entry records a revision and a loading, loaded, or failed result. The revision participates in row memoization, so completing a request invalidates the affected row without rebuilding the entire transcript.
+
+The cache key combines the active session and message id. Switching sessions therefore cannot leak loaded text into another conversation, even when deterministic fixtures reuse a local id.
+
+~~~ts
+type AssistantMessageExpansionState =
+  | { status: "loading"; revision: number }
+  | { status: "error"; revision: number }
+  | { status: "loaded"; expanded: boolean; markdown: string; revision: number };
+~~~
+
+This state and the existing chat.message.get request remain unchanged. The UI adjustment only removes the separate assistant disclosure decision after the loaded Markdown is present.
+
+### ui/src/pages/chat/components/chat-message-group.ts
+
+The group is the shared boundary for bubble content and message actions. It already checks the gateway suffix and transcriptMeta.truncated, looks up the stable message id, and receives the existing full-message callback from the thread.
+
+The group now starts that existing callback when it first sees an eligible entry instead of waiting for a button click. It does not introduce another cache, request type, retry timer, or transport flag. A loading or failed entry is left alone, which prevents render-driven request loops.
+
+~~~ts
+for (const details of messageActionDetails) {
+  if (
+    details?.shouldFetchFullMessage &&
+    details.messageId &&
+    !getAssistantMessageExpansion(details.messageId)
+  ) {
+    onToggleAssistantMessageExpanded(details.messageId);
+  }
+}
+~~~
+
+Once the existing loader resolves, the same selected Markdown flows to the bubble, inline Copy action, Reply action, and context menu. No consumer has to infer whether a loaded response should still look collapsed.
+
+### ui/src/pages/chat/components/chat-message-markdown.ts
+
+Assistant Markdown now renders directly. If the existing expansion record contains loaded text, that text is selected regardless of the old expanded boolean. Otherwise the transcript text is shown exactly as received.
+
+Loaded text uses document rendering mode so the chat renderer does not apply its regular large-message preview limit to a response that was explicitly recovered in full. User-authored messages keep their separate local disclosure behavior; this change only removes the assistant control.
+
+~~~ts
+const markdown = disclosure?.expanded
+  ? disclosure.markdown ?? previewMarkdown
+  : previewMarkdown;
+
+return renderMarkdownText(markdown, isStreaming, renderOptions);
+~~~
+
+There is no assistant footer, loading label, Show more button, Show less button, or inline failure banner. During the existing request, the transport text remains readable. When complete text arrives, the same bubble grows naturally to fit it.
+
+## Request lifecycle
+
+1. History supplies the transport representation of the assistant message.
+2. The existing truncation check determines whether a stored full copy can be requested.
+3. The group invokes the already-shipped full-message callback once.
+4. The thread sends chat.message.get with the stable session and message identifiers.
+5. A successful result replaces the visible Markdown in the existing bubble.
+6. Copy and Reply immediately use the same complete Markdown.
+
+The request shape remains the one already supported by the gateway:
+
+~~~json
+{
+  "sessionKey": "main",
+  "messageId": "assistant-refactor-report",
+  "maxChars": 500000
+}
+~~~
+
+Those names are deterministic fixture values. This scenario contains no production session identifiers, account data, credentials, channel addresses, provider keys, or access tokens.
+
+## Failure behavior
+
+If no complete stored message is available, the UI keeps the transcript text. It does not replace useful content with an error card or leave a dead control on screen. The existing failed state prevents the render pass from immediately issuing the same request again.
+
+This matters during reconnects and partial history imports: the operator still sees the information that actually reached the browser. The UI does not invent missing prose, infer a synthetic ending, or claim that a transport-limited message is complete.
+
+## Observable behavior covered
+
+The focused component tests protect the user-facing boundary rather than the internal call order:
+
+- eligible assistant text starts the existing full-message load without a click;
+- loaded Markdown is visible even if an older cached expanded flag is false;
+- the assistant bubble contains no Show more or Show less control;
+- Copy and Reply use the complete loaded response;
+- loading and failure continue to display the transcript text;
+- mirrored tool replies and messages without a loader remain unchanged;
+- user-message disclosure behavior stays separate and intact.
+
+The thread test verifies that one render starts one request, that the complete response replaces the preview, and that later renders do not fetch it again. A second case rejects the request and confirms that the transport text stays readable with no disclosure or error UI.
+
+## Browser proof
+
+The browser scenario boots the real Control UI against a mocked Gateway WebSocket. History contains the first 8,000 characters of this report plus the existing truncation state, while chat.message.get returns this complete Markdown document.
+
+The test waits for the final heading, checks the exact request parameters, confirms that no disclosure buttons exist, and exercises both inline and context-menu actions. Screenshots use a normal 1440×900 viewport in dark and light themes rather than zooming out to make the response look artificially short.
+
+The before view ends in the middle of the refactor explanation because that is where the transport preview stops. The after view reaches the remaining failure notes, test coverage, scope checks, and final result in the same message bubble.
+
+## Scope checks
+
+No gateway handler, protocol type, persistence model, or transport limit changed. The full-message request, expansion cache, identifiers, and response extraction all predate this change. The production diff removes presentation branches instead of adding a second way to retrieve content.
+
+The change also leaves user-authored long messages alone. Their local disclosure is a presentation choice for text the user submitted, while this assistant path is about showing the complete response once the existing loader has made it available.
+
+## Manual review notes
+
+I reviewed the transition at a normal desktop viewport and followed the text rather than relying only on request assertions. The preview remains selectable while loading, the existing headings and code blocks stay mounted, and the message grows in place when the remaining Markdown arrives.
+
+In both themes, code blocks retain their contrast, long paths wrap without covering the message actions, and the final section remains reachable with ordinary scrolling. No spinner or temporary card shifts the reading position between the preview and the full response.
+
+I also rejected the mocked full-message request and confirmed that the last received sentence stayed visible. A later host render did not create a tight retry loop, duplicate the message group, or expose an inactive assistant disclosure control.
+
+## Verification result
+
+The focused component suite and real-browser mocked-gateway scenario pass with the same structured response. The complete answer is always visible when available, message actions agree with the bubble, both themes remain readable, and the assistant UI exposes no manual expansion control.`;
