Simplify plugin installation and runtime loading around package-manager-owned dependencies, with Jiti reserved for local/TS fallback paths.
Also scans npm plugin install roots so hoisted transitive dependencies are covered by dependency denylist and node_modules symlink checks.
Sweep recent (last ~5h) doc edits for two readability/uniformity issues:
- Replace 42 path-as-text links of the form '[/foo/bar](/foo/bar)' with
descriptive labels derived from each target page's frontmatter title
(e.g. '[Anthropic]', '[Token use and costs]', '[OpenAI-compatible
endpoints]'). Affected files include gateway/troubleshooting,
concepts/oauth, reference/session-management-compaction, and
reference/transcript-hygiene.
- Sentence-case Title-Cased headings and link text in Related sections
across codex-harness, model-providers, tools/plugin, sdk-runtime,
sdk-setup, prompt-caching, ci, cli/config, google-meet, browser,
rich-output-protocol, subagents, web/control-ui, while preserving
brand and proper-noun capitalization (OpenAI, Codex, Chrome, Parallels,
Z.AI, etc.).
OpenClaw now tries ClawHub before npm for bare plugin specs.
Update install examples and guidance across:
- building-plugins.md: intro and publish step
- sdk-setup.md: publishing section with clawhub:/npm: prefix examples
- tools/plugin.md: CLI reference table
- community.md: submission guidance and quality bar
