The gateway.reload documentation advertised four settings the shipped
build rejects. gateway.reload is a strictObject accepting only `mode`,
and `mode` is a union of "off" | "hybrid", so a config written from the
docs fails validation and the gateway fails closed on the unknown keys.
Retired but still documented:
- `debounceMs` and `deferralTimeoutMs` (RETIRED_TUNING_PATHS; stripped by
`openclaw doctor --fix` via stripRetiredTuningKnobs)
- `mode: "restart"` and `mode: "hot"` (mapped to "hybrid" by
`openclaw doctor --fix`)
Correct all four docs pages that still describe them, and say what
replaced them: debounce and active-work deferral now run behind built-in
defaults rather than config keys.

* 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.

* feat(gateway): add loopback locality controls
* fix(gateway): keep loopback auth delays enforced under concurrency
The pending-timer cap let an attacker park cheap failures in every slot and then guess without penalty. Delays now key off a per-key deadline, so parallel guesses wait out the same escalating penalty and are still bounded by the max delay.
* fix(gateway): share one loopback penalty timer per key
Concurrent failures on a key now share a single timer and deadline instead of allocating one per in-flight request. Also corrects the security doc: the delay raises the cost of repeated guessing from one source, but credentials are compared before the failure response is delayed, so it is not a defense against parallel fan-out.
* docs(gateway): record why loopback delay stays post-verification
* docs: refresh generated docs map

* feat(ui): gateway-owned sidebar section order with hover-only drag grips
* fix(ui): repair sidebar section order CI gates
* fix(protocol): keep sectionOrder optional for older gateways
Native Swift clients ship separately from gateways, so new clients must decode older gateway responses that omit sectionOrder.
* fix(ui): reconcile gateway section ordering with main
* fix(state): allow lazy tables in v5 maintenance
* refactor(ui): retire prefs session section order in favor of gateway-owned order
Supersedes #113948 by deleting the unreleased ui.prefs.sessionSectionOrder key and its browser plumbing. Gateway SQLite sidebar_sections remains the single canonical store.
* feat(ui): drag custom sidebar groups between built-in session zones
* test(ui): remove stale split ratio fixture
* perf(ui): raise startup budget baseline for session-section ordering pref
* docs: correct retired cron/audit config keys, cron failure-alert default, memory recall default, and tool-search telemetry claims
- configuration-reference: cron block documented cron.webhook and cron.failureDestination, both retired by the config-surface reduction tranches (58452de711, edecdbd05e); the cron schema is strict so a copied snippet is rejected. Document only the live keys and note the doctor --fix migrations.
- configuration-reference: root-level audit block is retired; canonical path is logging.audit (src/config/zod-schema.root-shape.ts).
- configuration-reference: cron.failureAlert.after default is 2, not 3 (src/cron/service/failure-alerts.ts).
- memory-config: rememberAcrossConversations defaults on for personal installs (packages/memory-host-sdk/src/host/config-utils.ts), matching the canonical table earlier in the page.
- tool-search: telemetry records catalogSize, per-source counts, and search/describe/call counts, and only on tool_search_code results. No byte accounting exists in the runtime.
* docs: retire remaining references to removed cron, audit, and logging config keys
Sweep follow-up to the previous commit, covering the same bug class in the pages that still contradicted it.
- cron-jobs/cli-cron: global cron.failureDestination is retired; the destination fields now live on cron.failureAlert (src/config/zod-schema.root-shape.ts, merged by legacy-config-migrations.runtime.retired.ts:379). Per-job delivery.failureDestination bullets left intact.
- gateway/audit, cli/audit, gateway/protocol: root-level audit.* is retired; canonical path is logging.audit.*.
- logging: logging.redactSensitive is retired (dead-config-keys.test.ts:198; removed by legacy-config-migrations.runtime.tier-eval.ts:12). resolveConfigRedaction hardcodes DEFAULT_REDACT_MODE = tools, so redaction is unconditional. Also documented that redactPatterns replaces the defaults on the log path (redact.ts:419) while tool payloads always merge them.
- logging: consoleStyle accepts only pretty|json (zod-schema.root-shape.ts:106); compact remains the automatic non-TTY rendering style (logging/console.ts:40) but is no longer settable, and doctor maps a stored one to pretty.
- security: security --fix no longer touches redaction and the logging.redact_off audit check is retired (src/security/audit-loopback-logging.test.ts asserts it never fires).
* chore(docs): regenerate docs map after retired-key cleanup
* 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
* fix(gateway): emit config.changed from the reload committer for every accepted write
Agent config_set, CLI, and doctor writes reach the gateway through the file
watcher's reload path, which never broadcast config.changed - only direct RPC
writes did. Move the broadcast to a single onConfigCandidateCommitted hook in
the reload committer so all writers notify connected UIs, including
runtime-skipped commits (writer-intent echo suppression, reload mode off),
and delete the duplicate RPC-side broadcasts.
* feat(ui): sync chat follow-up and commentary prefs across devices
Add chatPersistCommentary and chatFollowUpMode to the ui.prefs sync surface
(schema, types, docs) with clearable null removal for the follow-up override.
Rewrite server-prefs around a descriptor table so a synced pref is one entry
instead of five hand-written code sites. Caption synced rows/sections
(chat prefs, theme, language) and refresh the stale Settings subtitle.
* refactor(ui): dedupe settings constants, drop dead composer branch, refresh copy and docs
Derive the Security tool-profile options from PROFILE_OPTIONS and General's
thinking levels from BASE_THINKING_LEVELS instead of parallel literals.
Remove the unused composer mode:"model" branch, the orphaned
.config-view-toggle CSS family, and stale quick-settings wording. Add static
settings-search entries for the Sessions and Managed Worktrees pages plus a
provenance-row test, and update docs/cli/openclaw.md to describe the current
system-agent config-write policy (denylist roots, route-backing plugin guard,
per-agent routing escalations).
* chore: refresh plugin SDK API baseline after rebase onto current main
- gateway broadcasts a hash-only config.changed event after every
persisted config write (operator.read scoped); the Control UI refreshes
its snapshot on the event so agent-approved ui.prefs changes apply live
on every connected client (skipped while a local draft is dirty)
- the chat composer's model picker shows provenance — 'Using default
from Settings' vs 'Session override' with an icon reset back to the
default — mirroring the existing reasoning-row anatomy
- the AI & Agents settings page is renamed Agent Defaults to separate it
from the per-agent Agents manager
- Memory Import renders through the settings design language (sections,
rows, toggle, status badges); only the collection review list, apply
report, skeleton, and confirm dialog keep custom markup, and the dead
bespoke CSS is pruned
* refactor(ui): restructure Settings IA around user-facing pages
Settings sidebar shrinks to settings-only destinations grouped by attention:
General/Appearance/Notifications up top, Connections, Agents & Tools,
Privacy & Security, System. Sessions, Worktrees, Activity, and Memory
Import leave the takeover: Sessions/Activity return to the workspace
sidebar, Worktrees becomes a Sessions hub tab, Memory Import is reached
from the Agents memory panel. Model Setup becomes a Models subpage.
New config pages: Notifications (web push), Privacy & Security (curated
policy rows + security/approvals schema sections), Advanced (uncurated
schema sections + raw editor, replacing the General quick/advanced
toggle). General slims to model defaults, language, and gateway host;
identity moves to Profile, lobster appearance rows to Appearance.
* feat(agents): widen system-agent config writes to operator parity
Every config surface the Control UI can edit is now agent-writable behind
the exact-operation human approval gate, except a small documented
denylist ($include, auth, env, models, secrets). tools.* and
plugins.entries.* writes are allowed; plugin_uninstall works for plugins
that provably do not back the active default inference route (fail closed
otherwise); set_default_model takes an optional agentId and live-tests a
per-agent model with the same rigor as the default route. Per-agent
routing fields on non-default agents are direct-writable; the default
agent's route keeps the verified set_default_model/onboard paths. A new
config-write-parity contract test forces explicit classification of every
top-level config key.
* feat(ui): sync operator display prefs through config ui.prefs
Theme, theme mode, text scale, locale, and chat display prefs get a
canonical server-side home in config ui.prefs. The Control UI mirrors
them into localStorage for instant boot, writes local changes through to
the gateway (best-effort; viewer-scope or offline clients stay
device-local), and applies server-side deltas on connect and on every
config snapshot reload — so an agent changing the theme through the
approval gate takes effect in the UI, and prefs follow the operator
across devices.
* chore: prune quick.ts from max-lines baseline after slim-down
* style: oxfmt changed files
* chore: regenerate plugin-sdk api baseline for ui.prefs config surface
* fix: dedupe runPluginUninstall dep type and narrow locale extraction
* docs: update Control UI settings structure and ui.prefs sync
* fix: address autoreview findings on parity guards and prefs sync
- plugins.entries.* config writes get the same active-route ownership
check as plugin_uninstall (fail closed when unprovable)
- system-agent prompt now describes the guarded write policy instead of
the old blanket refusals
- per-agent set_default_model logs the agent-scoped label
- legacy /config?section=... deep links redirect to the Advanced page
- prefs sync: pushes coalesce and drain serially (no CAS races dropping
updates), replaced config hashes mark pre-patch snapshots as stale, and
the last-seen server value persists per gateway scope so reloads cannot
revert unpushable viewer-scope edits
- lint: theme membership checks use Sets
* fix: harden uninstall route guard and scope prefs queue per gateway
- plugin uninstall ownership now covers execution owners (runtime policy,
embedded harness override) in addition to the provider, and re-verifies
inside the commit boundary so a concurrent route switch cannot slip a
destructive uninstall past the pre-approval check
- prefs push queue binds to one gateway client; switching gateways drops
the old queue (device-local fallback) instead of cross-writing prefs
* style: top-level type import in config-page test
* fix: close review races in config-write guards and prefs reconciliation
- config_set/config_set_ref re-verify the inference-route guard inside
the commit boundary so conditional verdicts (per-agent routing, plugin
entries) cannot be flipped by a concurrent edit after approval
- server prefs apply per changed field, so a server change to one pref
no longer reverts unpushable local edits of the others
- replaced-hash staleness retires once post-patch state is observed, so
a genuine restore of the pre-patch config becomes authoritative again
- moved-section deep links (communications notifications, automation
approvals) redirect to their new pages
* style: satisfy no-useless-assignment and loop-condition lints in prefs sync
* fix(ci): resolve unhandled profile-test rejections and knip unused exports
The profile page's new identity section reads context.config; the test
context mock now provides it, eliminating the unhandled rejections that
failed checks-ui and the compact-large shard. Exports flagged by the
dependency gate (extract/patch helpers, section-key and prop types) go
module-private; extraction coverage moves behind applyServerUiPrefs.
* refactor(agents): move config-write policy to its own module
The static path classifier and documented denylist move to
config-write-policy.ts, shared by the execution guard and the parity
contract test — no test-only exports left for the dependency gate to
flag. Blocked-root refusals now cite the denylist's documented
escalation for that root.
* 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.
* docs(onboarding): add custodian redesign implementation plan (living doc)
* docs: regenerate docs map for onboarding-redesign page
Config surface worktrees.cleanup.{maxCount,maxTotalSizeGb} (0/unset disables),
enforced by hourly gc, worktrees.gc RPC, and openclaw worktrees gc: least
recently active session/Workboard worktrees are snapshotted and removed until
count and total size fit. Manual worktrees, live locks, run leases, and active
session owners are never limit-evicted. Settings -> Worktrees gains a Cleanup
section with debounced, quota-aware stepper controls. Closes#106213.
