* 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(automation): rename scheduled-tasks feature wording to Automations

* docs: regenerate docs map and add Automations glossary entries
* docs(templates): follow renamed automations-vs-heartbeat anchor
* docs(automation): fix markdown formatting drift
* docs(automation): teach the canonical automations tool and sync the copied heartbeat default
Review follow-ups: normal instructions use the automations tool with cron as
an explicit compatibility alias; every verbatim copy of the default heartbeat
prompt matches the new shipped text from the strings PR.

* docs: link macOS onboarding pages to app download
Add download handoff to both macOS app onboarding entry points so
first-time users can reach the app before following first-run steps.
- onboarding.md: add <Tip> linking to /platforms/macos#download
- onboarding-overview.md: update comparison table Command row and
macOS section opening sentence with download link
Closes#111338
* docs: tighten macOS download handoff

* 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.
