* feat(gateway): add gateway-host desktop source behind desktop.host lab
Introduce the host as a first-class desktop source so operators can view
the machine OpenClaw runs on, not just cloud-worker environments:
- protocol: desktop.observe / desktop.launch with a discriminated
DesktopSource union (host | environment) plus an additive auth hint;
EnvironmentSummary gains a top-level desktop flag
- config: desktop.host { enabled, port?, passwordFile? }, Labs-gated
- rfb-probe: pure RFB version/security-type parser used to detect an
already-running loopback VNC server and classify its auth
- host-source: attaches to 127.0.0.1:<port>, refuses unauthenticated
(None) and unsupported (VeNCrypt) servers, and refuses ARD with the
supported alternative until the macOS milestone
- host-guidance: per-OS enablement text so no path dead-ends
- doctor + status report host desktop availability and auth type only
worker.desktop.observe/launch stay as delegating aliases with identical
behavior. Also drops the now-unused WorkerDesktopTunnels type export.
Live-verified against macOS Screen Sharing: probe reads RFB 003.889,
returns security types [30,33,36,35], classifies ard-account.
* test(gateway): probe RFB handshakes through the socket boundary
The probe's banner and security-offer parsers were exported solely so
unit tests could call them, which the dead-export gate rejects and which
tests internals rather than behavior. Keep them module-local and drive
the probe through a scripted loopback server instead.
The boundary tests also cover what pure-function vectors could not:
handshakes split across packets, legacy RFB 3.3 single-word security,
server-rejected handshakes, early hangups, and connect timeouts.
* feat(ui): let the Desktop panel view this machine, not just cloud workers
The Desktop panel was gated on a cloud-worker session placement, so an
operator running OpenClaw locally had no way to see the machine hosting
their main session even with a VNC server running on it.
Availability now follows the advertised desktop.observe method plus
operator.admin instead of session placement, and the picker lists every
environment whose summary reports a desktop, with the gateway row shown
as "This machine". Sources are passed to the generic desktop.observe /
desktop.launch RPCs; the app launcher stays worker-only. When a host
attach needs a password the gateway did not supply, the panel prompts and
keeps the value in memory for that connection only.
Adds the hostDesktop Labs toggle for desktop.host.enabled.
* fix(scripts): keep the env-var ratchet usable in shallow checkouts
The env-var budget check resolved its base ref, then hard-failed when
`git merge-base` found no shared ancestor. Shallow clones and grafted
agent checkouts resolve origin/main but truncate the history behind it,
so an advisory growth ratchet took down the whole check:changed gate
with "Could not resolve env-var count merge base for: origin/main".
Only the growth comparison needs a baseline, and the script already has
a no-baseline path. Treat git's exit 1 with empty output (no shared
ancestor) as that case and say so on stderr; a genuine failure still
exits 128 and still throws, and the absolute count-vs-budget check runs
either way.
* test(ui): measure the inline-code chip against its line box
The inline-code spacing test compared the chip's height to a prose text
rect, so it silently measured the monospace font's default line spacing.
That is ~17px on macOS and several px shorter on Linux, so the assertion
passed on CI and failed locally at 4.5 against a 3.75 bound -- after the
bound had already been widened once to chase browser font metrics.
Compare the chip to the paragraph's CSS line box instead, which is what
"the chip must not disrupt the line" actually means and is platform
independent. The horizontal gap stays as-is: it is em-derived padding
plus border, and it is the assertion that catches detached punctuation.
Verified both directions on macOS: the file is fully green, and
restoring the pre-fix 0.15em/0.35em padding still fails the gap
assertion at 5.41.
* feat(gateway): view macOS Screen Sharing from the Desktop panel
Modern macOS only offers ARD account authentication for Screen Sharing,
so the host desktop source refused every Mac. The Gateway now performs
the ARD handshake itself against the loopback server and hands the
browser a plain RFB 003.008 no-auth handshake, so the operator's macOS
account password authenticates the desktop without ever reaching the
browser, the observe result, a URL, or a log.
- rfb-preauth: ARD (type 30) Diffie-Hellman with MD5-derived AES-128-ECB
credentials, and VncAuth (type 2) bit-reversed DES, both under a single
10s negotiation deadline; Apple's RFB 003.889 maps to 3.8
- observe-bridge: runs pre-auth before splicing and starts the view-only
filter at clientInit, since the browser handshake is consumed here;
worker tokens keep the original version start phase
- host-source: attaches ARD, requiring per-observation credentials that
live only in the one-shot observer token and are dropped after use
- doctor: offers an explicitly confirmed sudo launchctl repair when
Screen Sharing is off, and prints the System Settings path otherwise
Live-verified against this Mac's Screen Sharing: the DH exchange and
credential framing are accepted and the server returns SecurityResult.
The VncAuth DES vector is confirmed against OpenSSL independently.
* feat(ui): commit-scoped session diff viewer with file, sync, and view menus
The Control UI session diff panel becomes a dense Amp-style viewer: per-file
menus (copy path, open file, reveal in file tree, open in editor), a Sync
Locally popover with a copyable git fetch command, view options (collapse all,
wrapping, split/unified layout), and a sticky footer that reports how far the
branch is ahead of its merge base and switches between all changes,
uncommitted work, and individual commits.
sessions.diff gains an additive scope param (all | uncommitted | commit) plus
commits, aheadCount, and mergeBase metadata. Commit-scope diffs read only the
object database, skip untracked collection, and bypass session-start baseline
filtering; unknown commits surface a typed unavailableReason. Offscreen file
bodies use content-visibility so large diffs stay responsive.
* fix(ui): satisfy session diff CI gates
* fix(gateway): fence commit-scoped session diffs to the advertised branch history
ClawSweeper found that commit-scoped sessions.diff accepted any commit resolvable in the checkout. Fence operator.read commit reads to the advertised merge-base..HEAD history and cover sibling-branch and base-history commits.
* feat(gateway): projects.list groups known checkouts by repo identity
Implements docs/plan/runners.md milestone 4 derived projects read model.
* feat(ui): regroup the Where picker by gateway, devices, and cloud
* feat(ui): placement chip shows where a session runs with reclaim
Implements docs/plan/runners.md milestone 4 placement display and reclaim.
* feat(apps): Android chat adopts the system-notice family
Decode internal_system provenance and __openclaw markers in parseHistory,
classify into SystemNotice/SystemDivider timeline variants with web-parity
kinds, render minimal Compose rows, round-trip metadata through the
transcript cache textPartsJson envelope (no Room change), and extend the
deterministic screenshot fixture.
* fix(apps): keep generated locale artifacts out of the source PR
The native locale refresh workflow owns NativeStringResources.kt and
values-*/strings.xml; ship source strings plus the regenerated
apps/.i18n/native-source.json inventory only.
* feat(apps): adopt the system-notice family in Apple chat (OpenClawChatUI)
Decode internal_system provenance and __openclaw history markers, classify
once into message/notice/divider rows (web-parity kinds), render minimal
hairline notice/divider SwiftUI rows, preserve metadata through history
reconciliation, live transport, and the transcript cache, and align the
transcript exporter with visible classification instead of leaking raw
[System] prompts.
* fix(apps): satisfy OpenClawKit periphery gate
Remove the dead visibleMessages projection (rows path replaced its
consumers) and annotate the provenance test-fixture initializer with the
repo-standard periphery:ignore rationale.
* fix(apps): refresh native i18n inventory after periphery cleanup
* fix(ui): align effort picker after model switches
Publish ordered per-model effort profiles from the Gateway and reconcile new-session effort overrides so labels, slider positions, and create payloads stay consistent.
* fix(ci): align model profile contracts
* fix(ui): hide unusable models from picker
* refactor(ui): remove stale model availability helper
* refactor(ui): simplify catalog state guards
* style: format provider catalog imports
* chore: refresh plugin SDK API baseline
* refactor(core): break provider catalog type cycle
* chore(protocol): refresh models list Swift output
* chore: refresh plugin SDK API baseline after rebase
* fix(gateway): preserve full catalog preload semantics
* fix(ui): keep model status within startup budget
* fix(ui): preserve provider status within startup budget
* fix(models): scope live catalog outcomes
* test(ui): expect agent-scoped model refresh
* test(ui): align model refresh e2e fixtures
* fix(macos): make the whole AI candidate row clickable and clear stale exhausted verdicts
Live-testing pick-during-testing on 2026-08-11 showed clicks on a candidate
row's blank stretch (between the title/subtitle texts or over the spacer)
silently doing nothing: plain-style buttons only hit-test opaque label
pixels. A user trying to pick Claude Code while Codex auto-tests can click
the visually highlighted row and get no outcome. .contentShape(Rectangle())
makes the full row hit-test.
Also, after auto-candidates exhaust, a user-picked retest left the stale
"None of the found options worked" card up while the new test visibly ran;
userSelect now clears exhaustedAutoCandidates when a fresh attempt begins.
* test(tooling): drop stateless poll tests from stateful-helper fixtures
Main went red when #121923 rewrote the outbound poll tests to be
order-independent and removed their stateful helper import/file; this
lane-config test hardcoded both as stateful-helper classification
fixtures. Folded into this PR per red-main landing policy.
* fix(mac): scope managed CLI install and detection to the active app profile
Under an active OPENCLAW_PROFILE the onboarding ready page detected the
host-global managed CLI (~/.openclaw/bin/openclaw) and its update/install
flow rewrote the operator's real managed copy. The managed install prefix
now follows the profile state directory (~/.openclaw-<name>), preferred
paths exclude other profiles' managed trees (including stale validated
executables and inherited shell PATH entries), and external CLIs stay
detectable read-only. Default-profile behavior is unchanged.
* chore(mac): refresh native i18n inventory for shifted source lines
* feat(agents): rename spawn_task tool to suggest_task
Models across vendors read the name spawn_task as 'starts background
work' and refuse to call it when the user has not asked to start
anything (Claude Sonnet 5, verbatim: 'spawn_task (which actively starts
background work)... Since you didn't ask me to start work, I'm flagging
this as a follow-up instead'). The tool only records a suggestion card,
so the name defeated the feature.
Rename the model-facing tool to suggest_task everywhere (catalog,
descriptors, presets, display config, OpenClawKit tool-display, docs)
and migrate persisted operator state via doctor: config tool policies
and cron SQLite toolsAllow entries that reference spawn_task are
rewritten to suggest_task. No runtime alias remains; runtime exposes
only the canonical name.
Live clean-room matrix on a dev gateway (virgin session per cell):
suggested-task-card phrasing now yields exactly one card on
anthropic/claude-sonnet-5, claude-haiku-4-5, openai/gpt-5.6-sol,
gpt-5.6-luna, and google/gemini-3.1-pro; pre-rename the same bait
produced prose-only follow-ups.
* chore(doctor): keep legacy tool-name predicate module-local
isLegacyTaskSuggestionToolName has no external consumers; the exported
form tripped the knip unused-export gate (deadcode:exports).
* fix(doctor): keep tool-name migration out of plugin-owned config
The rename migration traversed the whole raw config, so any object
carrying a toolsAllow key was rewritten - including opaque
plugins.entries.*.config, which core must not mutate. Scope the apply
pass to the typed core roots (tools, agents, channels, gateway) and pin
plugin config preservation in the test. Plugin-owned tool lists migrate
via the owning plugin's doctor contract instead.
* fix(ci): heal main deadcode and stale Swift protocol mirror
Unrelated main breakage blocking this PR's merge gate, healed here per
landing policy:
- #121653 left dead exports in src/skills/workshop: make
removeSkillCollectionDirectory and SkillCollectionRestoreResult
module-local; register collection-review.ts under the documented knip
ignoreIssues test-only-export convention (production runs it via the
scheduled maintenance loop).
- #121673 added ApprovalResolveParams.reviewer without regenerating the
Swift mirror; regenerate GatewayModels.swift (additive only).
* fix(ci): satisfy generic approval-runtime request signature in resolver test
Third main-heal carried by this PR: #121673 (9935ca3b30) left the
scoped-request mock's concrete inferred type unassignable to the generic
GatewayNativeApprovalRuntime request signature, breaking check-test-types
on main. Cast the mock at the runtime literal; assertions keep the Mock.
* chore(ci): drop approval-test cast superseded by main's typed mock rewrite
* chore(ci): drop duplicate knip entry superseded by main's heal
* fix(workers): persist placement terminal failures
* fix(workers): refresh placement protocol clients
* refactor(workers): isolate error formatting
* fix: integrate cloud terminal state with current main
* chore(plugin-sdk): refresh API baseline
* refactor(ui): inline one-use cloud terminal-reason banner helper
Keeps the Control UI startup JS bundle inside its 317 KiB gzip budget
(the helper + type-only import tipped it by 16 bytes).
* refactor(ui): trim terminal-reason lookup to type-erased optional access
Recovers the last gzip byte of the Control UI startup budget
(324609 B vs the 324608 B limit).
