* fix(macos): let onboarding replace an auto-connected AI
The AI page auto-tests the best detected candidate and connects without
asking, then hides every alternative route. Add 'Choose a different AI'
to the connected banner: a re-detect pass with auto-activation
suppressed that ends at the picker (candidates, provider sign-in, API
keys). Also disable the manual key Connect button while another test
runs (submitManualKey silently dropped the tap), and isolate a test
that read the machine's real resume store.

* fix(macos): surface real daemon errors past the Node banner
Gateway daemon failures summarized as 'Node.js v26.5.1' because the
summary takes the last non-empty line and Node fatal errors end with a
version banner. Drop trailing banner lines and prefer the last
error-shaped line above them; all other output keeps its last line.

* feat(macos): hand onboarding off to the dashboard custodian
Native onboarding now ends once inference verifies: welcome, connection,
install (when needed), AI setup. Finish opens the dashboard at
/custodian?onboarding=1, where the custodian onboarding owns memory
import, channels, app recommendations, and the hatch (browser-first per
the onboarding redesign). The native memory-import and permissions
pages leave the first-run flow; 'Set up later' keeps the native ready
page. The native navigation bridge gains a validated optional search
field so the handoff can request onboarding chrome; the URL fallback
carries the query alongside the token fragment.

* refactor(macos): delete the unreachable native memory-import module
The dashboard handoff removed the memory-import page from every flow,
leaving the module reachable only from tests. CI's dead-code scan
rightly flagged the first orphans; remove the whole path (model, page,
mascot wiring, tests) instead of trimming symbol by symbol. The
dashboard's own memory-import surface owns the feature.

* docs: recommend Node 26 in quickstart, landing, and platform install docs
- Problem: the user-facing quickstart (docs/start/getting-started.md), landing
page (docs/index.md), and Linux/macOS platform install docs still mark
Node 24 as the recommended default, contradicting maintainer PR #114399
('recommend Node 26 as the OpenClaw runtime') and the installer default
(scripts/install.sh NODE_DEFAULT_MAJOR=26, openclaw.mjs
RECOMMENDED_NODE_MAJOR=26). Users following the quickstart pick a slower,
heavier runtime against the project's stated recommendation.
- Fix: align the 4 missed user-facing install surfaces to 'Node 26
recommended', matching the phrasing already in docs/install/node.md,
docs/install/index.md, docs/install/ansible.md, docs/install/bun.md, and
docs/help/faq-first-run.md. Leave docs/start/setup.md (the source/dev
workflow where CI pins Node 24) unchanged on purpose.
- Verification: docs-only diff reviewed; supported-version floors
(22.22.3+/24.15+/25.9+) unchanged; consistent across all install surfaces.
* docs: complete Node 26 installation guidance

The runtime retirement already shipped: busy deferral is automatic,
reasoning payloads stay internal, the HEARTBEAT_OK ack budget is fixed at
300 chars, the Heartbeats prompt section follows cadence, and tool-error
warnings are always on. Docs still advertised skipWhenBusy, ackMaxChars,
includeReasoning, includeSystemPromptSection, and suppressToolErrorWarnings
as live options; this aligns seven pages with the fixed policies and the
strict heartbeat field list, locks the claw-profile skipWhenBusy rejection
diagnostic with a dedicated test, renames includeReasoning-era test/comments,
and canonicalizes claw add-plan workspace path assertions (macOS realpath).
* feat(models): add Claude Opus 5 support
* test(models): align Opus 5 setup fixtures
* test(models): update ambient Opus 5 detection
* fix(models): reconcile Opus 5 support with main
* feat(sdk): always persist media facts and ship facts-first replacements for legacy Media* surfaces
PR 1 of the media legacy retirement program (audit-frozen, 4 PRs).
- Every media-bearing user turn now persists normalized __openclaw.media
facts unconditionally while continuing to emit the legacy top-level
Media* projection byte-identically (dual-write bridge; the conditional
shouldPersistStructuredMediaEntries gate now always includes media).
- New replacement APIs, shipped before any removal: typed hook media
facts (media[], originalMedia[], mediaStagingPending) on message
events; {{AttachmentPath}}/{{AttachmentUrl}}/{{AttachmentContentType}}/
{{AttachmentDir}}/{{AttachmentIndex}} template variables; focused
openclaw/plugin-sdk/media-local-roots subpath split out of the
deprecated agent-media-payload facade.
- Every legacy surface carries @deprecated naming its replacement, under
one named compatibility record media-legacy-projection with the
operator-approved removeAfter 2026-10-01 (two release trains; deletion
additionally gates on a clean published-plugin artifact sweep).
- Generic transcript append invariant documented; SDK migration, hooks,
and configuration docs updated to the facts-first path.
Writer golden matrix proves legacy bytes and model prompt bytes are
unchanged while nested facts become unconditional. 2,189 broad media
tests green; SDK api-baseline regenerated on fresh-env Testbox.
* feat(sdk): register media-local-roots subpath exports and deprecation metadata
Completes PR 1: package export map for openclaw/plugin-sdk/media-local-roots
plus the deprecated-subpath inventory and doc metadata entries for the
media-legacy-projection record.
* chore(sdk): track media-local-roots entrypoint and deprecated-export budgets
* fix(sdk): keep deprecated MSTeams buildMediaPayload re-export through the compat window
Deleting shipped runtime-api re-exports belongs to retirement PR 4 after
the media-legacy-projection window; PR 1 only deprecates. Also formats
the migration-guide schedule table.
* docs: regenerate docs map for media migration additions
Each legacy heartbeat tasks: entry becomes an editable system-created cron
job (declaration key heartbeat-task:<agentId>:<hash>, per-occurrence
identity for duplicate names) that fires a guarded heartbeat wake carrying
the task prompt plus current monitor scratch context. Task cadence is now
independent of the base heartbeat interval; active-hours, busy-retry,
min-spacing, and flood guards are preserved, deferred payload-carrying
wakes are retained and retried after the spacing floor, and colliding
task/event wakes cannot starve each other.
openclaw doctor --fix migrates existing blocks: async parse/plan, then one
synchronous SQLite transaction that rereads the pinned scratch revision,
upserts job rows, and strips the tasks: block atomically — concurrent
doctors serialize on the database and a losing run aborts untouched.
Orphan fields, invalid intervals, and incomplete entries block migration
of their block with a clear finding instead of silent text loss. The
runtime tasks: parser is deleted; leftover text is ordinary scratch prose.
Nine Codex gpt-5.6-sol xhigh autoreview cycles; final verdict clean.

* fix(onboard): deduplicate bootstrap recommendations
* feat(onboard): add browser-first guided handoff
* chore: drop release-only CHANGELOG edit from browser-handoff branch
* fix(onboard): make browser handoff reach the gateway on real installs
The presence probe connected as a raw shared-auth client with a possibly
SecretRef-managed token, which the gateway rejects as an unpaired Control UI
client ("device identity required"), so the handoff never fired and always
fell through to the terminal hatch. Read presence as a CLI-mode loopback client
(the trusted path every openclaw command uses) so operator.read is granted, and
share that one auth path between the reachability gate and the wait loop. Also
short-circuit when gateway.controlUi.enabled is false so onboarding does not open
a dead dashboard URL and block for the full timeout.
* fix(onboard): share resolved target between handoff gate and wait
The reachability preflight now resolves the same target (and shared secret) the
wait loop uses, and presents the configured secret to the CLI-mode presence
read. Known remaining limitation: on fresh quickstart gateways whose auth token
is written to config but resolved differently at runtime, the presence read is
rejected with a token mismatch and the handoff falls back to the terminal hatch.
Tracked for follow-up before enabling the browser handoff by default.

* fix(onboard): satisfy docs-map and test-type gates for the handoff branch
* refactor(onboard): split guided manual stage
* feat(onboarding): recommend plugins and skills from installed apps
Scan installed macOS apps during classic onboarding (TCC-free), gather
candidates from official catalogs + ClawHub search, let the configured
model pick genuine matches, and offer an opt-in multiselect install step.
Adds a device.apps node-host command (default-off sharing, Android-parity
envelope) so remote gateways can request a paired Mac's inventory, and a
wizard.appRecommendations kill switch. Custom setup-inference completions
no longer inherit the 32-token verification-probe output cap.
* feat(onboarding): recommend apps in guided flow
* fix(onboarding): harden app recommendations against ClawHub self-promotion
Third-party ClawHub skills are never pre-selected regardless of model tier
(publisher-controlled listing text reaches the matcher prompt and could
promote itself); their labels now say they install third-party code.
Installed-app scans follow symlinked .app bundles. Matcher output stays
bounded by the resolved model's own maxTokens budget (documented invariant).
* fix(onboarding): key official catalog candidates by resolved plugin id
Real catalog entries are package manifests without a top-level id; keying the
candidate map and channel/provider classification by entry.id collapsed the
whole official catalog into one undefined-keyed entry, so no official plugin
or channel was ever recommended. Regression test runs against the bundled
catalogs.
* fix(onboarding): satisfy lint, types, deadcode, and migration gates
Split the guided-onboarding test into a self-contained custodian suite to stay
under max-lines. Narrow app-recommendation exports (drop dead node-payload
normalizer, unexport internal types/helpers, route candidate tests through the
public API), replace map-spread with a helper, unexport device.apps result
types, add installedAppsSharing to node-host migration expectations, cast the
wizard multiselect mock, and regenerate the docs map.
* test(onboarding): register new live test in the shard classifier
* feat(onboard): guided onboarding becomes the custodian flow
Question zero asks for discovery consent up front (full access recommended,
guarded asks once or configures manually; persisted as wizard.accessMode and
honored on reruns). Discovery quietly collects auto-ladder failures into one
summary with details behind 'See other options', quips about detected coding
agents, and announces the working route as a default with an easy undo.
After inference and the memory offer (skipped when discovery was declined),
fresh installs auto-apply the standard setup plan and hatch the agent
directly in the terminal; configured installs (pre-existing model or gateway
config) stay verification-only and never reinstall or restart the Gateway
service. Setup-apply failures fall back to the conversational chat.
Remote-gateway onboarding keeps its legacy chat handoff explicitly.
listManualSetupInferenceOptions lists manual providers without scanning.
