When `openclaw update` manages a global npm install, it first runs the normal
global install command. If that command fails, OpenClaw retries once with
`--omit=optional`. That retry helps hosts where native optional dependencies
cannot compile, while keeping the original failure visible if the fallback also
fails.
When `openclaw update` manages a global npm install, it installs the target into
a temporary npm prefix first, verifies the packaged `dist` inventory, then swaps
the clean package tree into the real global prefix. That avoids npm overlaying a
new package onto stale files from the old package. If the install command fails,

optional dependencies cannot compile, while keeping the original failure visible
