* fix(onboard): honor secret-input-mode ref for the generated gateway token
`openclaw onboard --secret-input-mode ref` was silently ignored for
`gateway.auth.token`: onboarding generated the token and wrote it into
`openclaw.json` as a plaintext string, so `openclaw doctor` warned about
`gateway.auth.token` on the install it had just created. The flag was
honored for provider credentials, so an operator who explicitly opted into
references still ended up with a plaintext secret and a remediation
(`openclaw secrets configure`) that cannot migrate a self-generated value,
because it validates a ref by resolving one that already exists.
Setup mints this token itself, so reference mode now provisions it:
- an ambient OPENCLAW_GATEWAY_TOKEN keeps an `env` ref to that variable, so a
later rotation stays authoritative instead of being pinned by a stale copy
- anything else (freshly generated, or an existing plaintext token being
migrated) goes into the shared SQLite secret store as a write-only `secret`
entry, with config holding only `{source:"store",...}`
An existing store entry wins over a freshly generated one, so reruns never
rotate a token already paired with clients. The store write precedes the
config write: a ref persisted without its value would leave the gateway
unauthenticatable, while an orphaned entry is reused by the next run.
The interactive wizard had the same dead end and is fixed the same way.
Default (plaintext) onboarding is unchanged.
User impact: `--secret-input-mode ref` now keeps the gateway token out of
openclaw.json, and a fresh install no longer self-reports a plaintext-secret
warning.
* test(onboard): split gateway onboarding suite under the max-lines gate
The added gateway auth-token tests pushed
onboard-non-interactive.gateway.test.ts to 1014 lines, over the max-lines
limit (check-lint-core-3). Repo policy is to split, never suppress.
Extract the shared vi.mock/harness preamble into
onboard-non-interactive.gateway.test-mocks.ts, following the existing
agent-command.test-mocks.ts pattern, and move the four gateway auth-token
storage tests into their own suite. The reachability mock becomes a holder
object so both suites can swap it across the module boundary, and hoisted
mocks are re-exported in a separate export clause because Vitest rejects
exporting a vi.hoisted binding at its declaration.
Test set is unchanged: the it-declaration multiset matches the pre-split
file exactly, with no duplication across the two suites.
* test(onboard): give the shared gateway onboarding mocks unique export names
check-export-name-collisions flagged `runtime` and `readConfigFileSnapshotMock`
as colliding with program.test-mocks.ts and plugins-cli-test-helpers.ts once the
gateway onboarding preamble became a shared module. Rename the exports to
gatewayOnboardRuntime / gatewayOnboardConfigSnapshotMock per the repo's
unique-export-name rule; suites alias them locally so the assertions read the
same as before.
* test(tooling): route the new gateway auth-token suite from its test helper
test-projects asserts which suites a change to
onboard-non-interactive.test-helpers.ts should run. The new
onboard-non-interactive.gateway-auth-token.test.ts imports that helper, so it
belongs in the expected routing plan.
* fix(cron): honor failure alert thresholds
Per-run Gateway announcements bypassed threshold, cooldown, and opt-out policy. Make the scheduler the sole owner of failure notification decisions.
* fix(cron): preserve safe failure details
Keep trusted failure detail proof on the scheduler-authorized transport and remove the obsolete Gateway event-context handoff after the ownership consolidation.
* test(cron): assert alternate failure route isolation
Live-testing #126377 in a real explicit fleet surfaced an inaccuracy that PR
introduced. It dropped 'Other agent-scoped methods do not use this setting as a
general default', which is still true: only models.list, models.authStatus,
skills.status, and doctor.memory.status opt in, while the generic Gateway
resolver in agent-id-shared.ts deliberately does not.
Verified against a live gateway and CLI on a three-agent explicit fleet with
systemAgent.agentId set: 'openclaw models list', 'openclaw sessions', stored
session lookup, and TUI startup all still require an explicit agent. Name those
surfaces so operators know where the owner does and does not apply.
* fix(outbound): resolve ambient delivery owner through the system-agent chain
Agent-less outbound channel bootstrap resolved its owner via the deprecated
throwing resolver, so multi-agent explicit-ownership configs with only
agents.defaults.systemAgent.agentId set threw AgentSelectionRequiredError from
inside gateway delivery recovery, aborting the whole drain ("Delivery recovery
failed") for every queued entry.
Bootstrap now follows the same ambient owner chain heartbeats and cron use
(legacy default, then systemAgent, then sole agent), consolidated into one
canonical tryResolveAmbientOwnerAgentId in agent-scope-config; the duplicated
chain in cron/agent-id.ts is deleted and heartbeat resolution reuses the
helper. Truly ownerless fleets no longer throw either: bootstrap proceeds with
global-scope plugin discovery only, never selecting an agent workspace, so
per-entry delivery outcomes stay recorded instead of one entry starving the
recovery loop.
Regression tests fail pre-fix: agent-less bootstrap routes through the
configured system-agent owner, and ownerless fleets bootstrap without
throwing.
* refactor(agents): route ambient owner resolution through one canonical chain
The idiom `tryResolveLegacyCompatibilityAgentId(cfg) ?? resolveDefaultAgentId(cfg)`
was copied across nine ambient surfaces. It reads like a fallback but is not: when
the first call returns undefined, resolveDefaultAgentId reduces to resolveSoleAgentId
and throws, so the second leg only ever throws — and neither leg consults
agents.defaults.systemAgent.agentId. Every one of those surfaces raised
AgentSelectionRequiredError in explicit fleets that own ambient work through a
system agent.
Promote the chain to one owner in agent-scope-config: tryResolveAmbientOwnerAgentId
(undefined when ownerless) and resolveAmbientOwnerAgentId (throws with the caller's
existing selection context). The throwing variant is a drop-in for every former
composite: identical message when a fleet has no owner, but the system-agent leg
now resolves.
Converted: resolveDefaultAgentDir (the shared producer behind auth, model catalog,
doctor, wizard, and Plugin SDK helpers), config identity-avatar validation, prepared
model catalog and registry, session reset, Talk target, main-session routing and its
routing-contract fingerprint, session store targets, hooks CLI, plugin LLM
completion, and first-run onboarding.
resolveDefaultAgentId keeps backing explicit-selection surfaces where 'pass --agent'
is the right answer; its deprecation note now sends ambient callers to the new
helper.
* fix(sessions,hooks): keep agent-narrowing surfaces on explicit selection
CI caught the over-reach: session-store listing and hooks status reporting are
deliberately explicit-selection surfaces, not ambient system work. Both narrow
output to one agent, so adopting agents.defaults.systemAgent.agentId would hide
the other agents' sessions/hooks instead of failing with the escape hatches the
operator needs. sessions.default-agent-store.test.ts pins that contract by
configuring a system agent and still expecting the --agent/--all-agents error.
Restore the prior behavior at both sites, spelled honestly as
tryResolveLegacyCompatibilityAgentId ?? resolveSoleAgentId — provably identical
to the old composite, since the composite's second leg could only ever throw —
with a comment recording why these two resist the ambient chain.
* test: declare the ambient owner binding in agent-scope mock factories
Explicit vi.mock factories enumerate exports, so production calling
resolveAmbientOwnerAgentId broke prepared-model-catalog, prepared-model-registry,
and channel-resolution with 'No "resolveAmbientOwnerAgentId" export is defined on
the ... mock'. Declare it in the four factories; channel-resolution now drives the
non-throwing variant the bootstrap actually calls.
Also restore session-store targets and hooks status to their exact previous code.
Both stay out of the ambient chain by design, so the smallest correct diff at an
out-of-scope site is none: they now differ from main only by the comment recording
why they resist it.
* fix(models): resolve the model-config workspace through the ambient owner
ClawSweeper P1: prepareModelsConfigContext resolved agentDir through
resolveDefaultAgentDir (ambient chain) but its workspace through
resolveDefaultAgentId (deprecated throwing chain), so explicit fleets owned by a
system agent still failed model preparation on the workspace lookup — a one-sided
fix inside a single function.
Both halves now resolve the same ambient owner.
* docs(agents): describe the widened ambient system-agent ownership
config-agents.md claimed 'Other agent-scoped methods do not use this setting as
a general default', which this branch makes false: systemAgent.agentId is now
the ambient owner for agent dir/workspace resolution, outbound bootstrap and
delivery recovery, main-session routing, Talk, and onboarding.
Record the widened set, the two surfaces that deliberately still demand explicit
selection (sessions, hooks), and delivery recovery's per-entry degradation.
* refactor(gateway): interrupt at admission; sessions.steer delegates to chat.send
chat.send queueMode interrupt now aborts the captured current operation
at the session-work admission owner (exact-instance abort, never a
same-key successor) and dispatches the new turn after the abort
settles; channel-originated interrupts share the same primitive.
sessions.steer keeps its validation, sharing/access checks, and
response shape but becomes a thin deprecated adapter over that path -
its private inflight/retry and hard-abort machine is deleted. The
Control UI /redirect command rides canonical chat.send. Compaction's
use of the old hard-interrupt helper moves unchanged to
session-run-interruption.ts.
* fix(gateway): interrupt non-reply admissions
* fix(gateway): make activeRunIds presence mean a complete exact run set
Session rows no longer emit activeRunIds: [] while hasActiveRun is
true. Presence now means the complete exact set of direct run ids;
omission means identities are unavailable (projected/embedded owners);
[] only ever represents proven idle. Consumers stop guessing:
soleActiveSessionRunId() replaces the arbitrary [0] fallbacks in the
observer digest, transcript cache key, activity inspector, and
stale-terminal reconciliation, each falling back to its owner fact.
Follows the maintainer direction from #125983: the field stays as
Gateway-owned exact facts; producer-side liveness/observer projections
are a named follow-up.
* fix(gateway): clear unavailable active run ids in events
* fix(gateway): preserve idle active run sets
* fix(clients): close active run id cache gaps
* test(android): isolate history run snapshot
Ambient heartbeat ownership now follows the cron owner chain: heartbeat.agentId, legacy default, systemAgent.agentId, then sole agent.
Ownerless multi-agent rosters disable heartbeats with gateway and config-validate warnings instead of throwing AgentSelectionRequiredError during gateway startup.
* fix: stop Full access sessions from requesting exec approval
* fix: propagate Full access policy to compaction
* fix: source compaction permissions from session state
* feat(discord): auto-join occupied voice rooms
Add opt-in voice.autoJoin[].whenOccupied residency so Discord voice bots join for the first human and leave when the room becomes empty while preserving existing always-on, manual, transcript, and follow-user behavior.\n\nCloses #125973
* test(discord): isolate process runtime mocks
Use stable hoisted runtime-env mocks so isolate=false Discord test ordering cannot turn sleepWithAbort back into an unmocked function.
* fix(discord): defer unknown voice occupancy
Treat memberless voice states as unresolved instead of human so bot-only rooms cannot trigger occupancy-managed auto-join. Add cache-to-listener and manager regressions.\n\nCloses #125973
* test: isolate shared module mocks
Replace ineffective non-isolated module spies with stable hoisted mocks and a child-process SQLite connection-reuse probe so gateway and Discord shards are order-independent.
* test(gateway): inline connection reuse probe
Keep the child-process SQLite ownership probe in its owning Vitest file so Knip sees the full test surface without weakening process isolation or the original order regression.
* fix(gateway): bound audit and Codex backlogs
Live Gateway SQLite lock failures and process heap pressure exposed two
independent queue owners. Route best-effort audit persistence through the
canonical shared-state connection with bounded contention retries, and remove
the per-notification Codex yield so the keyed turn queue can drain directly.
Follow-up to #126033 and #126073.
* fix(gateway): annotate raw SQLite cold-open probe
* test(codex): register notification burst shard
The cloud machine picker described each class in prose ("Cheap smoke checks
and small repos"), which was the widest thing in the row, got ellipsized, and
did not say what the operator actually picks on. Machine options now carry the
class shape and the picker renders "32 vCPU · 64 GB" instead.
Crabbox reports per-provider class shapes from `providers --json`; the plugin
reads that catalog once per lifecycle and attaches cpu/memoryGb to each option.
A missing binary, failed command, unparseable output, absent classes, or an
unmatched provider all degrade to label-only rows, so an older Crabbox keeps
working.
`description` was never released, so it is removed rather than deprecated, and
listMachineOptions becomes async for the catalog read. Deletes the duplicate
machine-option projector in the environments server method.
The Control UI settings page (#124864) and the New Session place
picker's machine section had no doc coverage — the configuration and
dispatch walkthroughs only described the JSON/RPC paths.
* fix(gateway): apply configured edge auth to session-URL targets
Follow-up to #125700.
A URL target with explicit auth skipped config loading and silently dropped
gateway.remote.edgeAuth. Config I/O is now skipped only for plaintext loopback
targets.
Also document mandatory passEnv: ["HOME"] for the cloudflared exec provider.
* fix(gateway): keep explicit secure connections working when config is invalid
Addresses the ClawSweeper finding on #125982 by preserving the invalid-config recovery path while still applying configured edge auth.
The Gateway owns start-or-steer at admission (6515f6a255) and no
client produces expectedRunId anymore (d84a910fc8). The field shipped
only in v2026.8.1-beta.2 - never a stable tag - so it is removed rather
than deprecated. Steer sends resolve the selected session's current
operation; the exact-match branch, the operation|run target identity
discriminator, run_mismatch rejection, and the suggestion producers'
active-run-id selection (with its ambiguity failure) are deleted.
Provider-native turn fencing (Codex expectedTurnId) is unchanged:
the backend-captured runId on the injection target remains.
* fix(gateway): harden hook admission and shutdown
Flush structured 413 and 408 hook responses before closing oversized or timed-out request sockets, and reject deferred wake requests that target an explicit session.
Direct Gateway close now marks startup and readiness as draining immediately and attempts every HTTP listener shutdown before reporting an incomplete close.
* test(gateway): model request destruction in fuzzing
Give the HTTP request fuzz double the IncomingMessage destroy contract exercised after 413 and 408 responses finish.
* fix(gateway): preserve response and shutdown bounds
Route installed webhook body-limit failures through the shared response-first close owner and require complete Feishu 413/408 responses before terminal connection closure.
Retain the current-main grace bound for agent-harness disposal so one stuck harness cannot block listener teardown.
* test(telegram): model response-close request cleanup
Keep the slow-body request alive through response finish, then assert cleanup when the mock response transport closes.
* refactor(steering): gateway-owned start-or-steer via one captured-operation lifecycle
chat.send with queue mode steer now atomically captures the selected
session's current direct reply operation under the writer barrier and
injects into exactly that operation; with no direct owner it starts a
new run instead of failing with active-leaf-changed. Client-supplied
expectedRunId keeps exact-match semantics; the transcript-branch CAS
(expectedLeafEntryId) now guards only non-steer sends.
All three steering paths (gateway chat.send, channel queue steering,
server /steer) share one begin/finalize lifecycle on the reply-run
registry, including the captured-instance abort from 5a15e1a39c.
Deleted: the duplicate accepted/rejected/unconfirmed policy machine in
steer adoption, the raw embedded /steer runtime path, the leaf-bound
injection identity and reject-before-ack compat, and the dead target
tool-authority fingerprint. messageInjectionAttempted becomes a typed
messageInjectionDisposition (none | accepted | rejected); rejected
injections take one visible followup fallback, so non-injectable
runtimes queue instead of silently dropping.
Deliberate semantics: a registry-less active embedded run is no longer
steered by raw session id (correlation-only authority) - the message
becomes a visible followup; /steer injects under its own command
authorization instead of the inbound tool-authority gate it could
never satisfy.
* docs(protocol): describe gateway start-or-steer contract for chat.send
Targetless steer is no longer a leaf-bound compatibility path that can
reject with active-leaf-changed; it targets the selected session's
current state (inject into the direct run, else start a turn).
expectedRunId stays an exact-run fence; expectedLeafEntryId is the
non-steer transcript-branch CAS.
* fix(steering): require matching tool authority for /steer injection
The authorized-sender command gate is weaker than tool-authority equality. Make /steer and gateway injection present the same projected evidence as channel steering so mismatches fall back to a normal prompt under the sender’s own authority.
* feat(gateway): reach a Gateway behind an identity-aware proxy from the CLI
Operator CLI surfaces (tui, attach, call, probe, onboarding, and configure) can present configured gateway.remote.edgeAuth headers to an identity-aware proxy. Headers are origin-bound, WSS-only, never follow redirects, cannot set transport-owned headers, and are redacted. Identity-proxy upgrade rejections are classified and remediated instead of being reported as an unreachable gateway.
* test(gateway): cover config-aware probe calls
Keep status probe expectations aligned with the resolved configuration forwarded for origin-bound edge-auth resolution.
* fix(gateway): preserve edge auth across wizard saves and enforce wss before secret resolution
Preserve gateway.remote.edgeAuth only when the configured Gateway scope is unchanged, and reject non-WSS targets before resolving any edge-auth SecretInput.
* fix(ui): align session owner filtering terminology
Owner filters now use owner terminology consistently across the Gateway, Control UI, and generated native protocol clients. The old terms were prerelease-only, so no migration or compatibility aliases are needed.
* fix(gateway): preserve creator provenance filtering
Keep creatorId scoped to immutable createdActor provenance while ownerId queries the current projected assignable owner. This preserves independent creator and responsibility filtering after reassignment.
* test(ui): wait for remembered draft before reload
CI exposed an IndexedDB draft-persistence race: the test reloaded before the write completed and then re-filled the message while restoration arrived. Wait on the canonical durable-draft helper before reload so the reload cannot race the write.
* fix(ui): keep session menus clear of hovercards
Horizontal sidebar previews were positioned from the inner link rect instead of the complete session row, allowing the hovercard to overlap trailing actions.
Anchor preview placement to the full row while preserving the link trigger and ownership flow so the session menu remains clickable.
* perf(ui): keep hovercard fix within startup budget
Use the sidebar direct-row invariant to anchor the hovercard outside trailing actions without a selector lookup. This preserves the fix without increasing the startup budget.
* fix(qa): preserve Matrix CLI timeout precedence
Keep the primary timeout operator-visible when descendant settlement also reports secondary cleanup trouble. Preserve the complete AggregateError as the public wrapper cause so settlement evidence remains inspectable.
* test(ui): isolate Markdown table clipboard boundary
With isolate:false, the shared module registry can retain clipboard imports before this test installs its module mock, leaving the spy disconnected from the production call.
Stub navigator.clipboard.writeText instead so the test exercises the real copyToClipboard boundary regardless of module load order, then restore the original descriptor.
