* refactor(infra): extract shared git exec and verified snapshot-copy helpers
Moves the worktrees git wrapper to src/infra/git-exec.ts (with optional
maxOutputBytes for large buffered reads) and the online-backup/sanitize/
VACUUM/verify snapshot step into src/snapshot/openclaw-snapshot-copy.ts so
snapshot backends share one hardened copy path. Behavior-identical moves;
all importers updated.
* feat(snapshot): git-backed versioned SQLite snapshot engine
Deterministic per-table JSONL dumps (PK-ordered, lossless bigint/blob
encoding), verbatim DDL preservation, virtual/shadow-table skipping with
FTS rebuild on restore, secret-table redaction policy, manifest with
per-table row counts and content hashes, and restore verification by
re-serialization. Unchanged data produces no commit.
* feat(backup): recorded runs, freshness surfacing, and scheduled git backups
Every backup attempt is recorded in the previously writer-less backup_runs
table (bounded to 200 rows). openclaw status gains a Backups overview row
and JSON payload; doctor prints an informational hint when no successful
backup is recorded or the newest is stale. New commands: backup git
init/create/log/verify/restore and backup enable/disable, which provision
one idempotent gateway cron job running scheduled git backups.
* fix(state): stop bumping schema_meta.updated_at on unchanged opens
updated_at now records when schema metadata actually changed instead of
when the database was last opened; unconditional bumps dirtied the row on
every open and defeated no-change backup detection.
* docs: document versioned git backups, scheduling, and backup freshness
* fix(backup): satisfy CI ownership checks
* fix(backup): complete CI contract coverage
* fix(backup): complete credential table redaction
* fix(backup): isolate git repository ownership
* fix(backup): persist push degradation
* fix(backup): atomically converge schedules
* fix(status): isolate backup freshness environment
* fix(status): carry scan environment to freshness reads
* fix(backup): harden Git repository ownership
* docs(backup): document Git repository safety
* fix(backup): non-creating outcome log and origin preflight for pushed schedules
Recording a backup outcome never bootstraps an absent state database (a
failed backup on a fresh host would otherwise create a blank DB that a
retry treats as real input), and backup enable --push now requires the
repository to have an origin remote, pointing at backup git init --remote
instead of scheduling permanently degraded pushes.
* refactor(worktrees): use shared git exec helpers
* refactor(worktrees): remove unused git buffer wrapper
* refactor(worktrees): consume buffered git helper
* feat(backup): redact pushed schedules by default
Unattended recurring pushes retain credential-bearing tables durably in
remote Git history, so backup enable --push now defaults to
--exclude-secrets; --include-secrets is the explicit full-fidelity
override (still warned). Local non-push schedules keep full fidelity for
complete restores.
* fix(backup): redact audit HMAC and OAuth pending state; tolerate absent backup_runs
Adds audit_identity_keys (audit HMAC key) and mcp_oauth_pending_authorizations
(live OAuth callback state) to the redaction inventory, and makes read-only
backup freshness treat a same-version database without the additive
backup_runs table as no recorded backups instead of failing before a
writable open converges the schema.
* fix(backup): restrict schedules to local gateways
* fix(snapshot): harden Git restore and redaction
* fix(backup): block pushes of adopted history
* fix(backup): contain commits and pairing secrets
Removing the Ask OpenClaw button from the chat workspace rail (#122507) left
CUSTODIAN_PANEL_TOGGLE_EVENT with no production dispatcher, so its event
constant, detail type, panel listener, handleToggleRequest, toggle(), the
shell's deferred-load handler and its forwarding delegate were all dead.
The floating panel keeps its real open path: app-shell-navigation raises
minimizeRequestId when the operator leaves the /custodian route mid-conversation
and the panel opens itself when the store has a real user turn. Preloading is
unchanged and still gated on openclaw.chat, so the panel mounts exactly when it
could be available.
Tests move onto that surviving path rather than being deleted; the unused
custodian.panel.toggle string goes with the contract.
Production LOC: -64, none added.
* test(secrets): cover code-mode nested exec store env; document harness boundary
* docs(secrets): warn that store env does not reach external agent harnesses
* 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.
