* fix(onboard): survive inference owner drift and verify credentials route-aware
Guided onboarding crashed ("Could not start the CLI") on the openai-api-key
candidate when OPENAI_API_KEY was set and a Codex CLI login existed:
- owner revalidation resolved provider auth without the route model's
id/api, so the transport gate never applied and profile-first discovery
picked the Codex-imported ChatGPT OAuth profile instead of the env key
the probe ran with — a deterministic fingerprint mismatch
- that mismatch escaped the activation persistence path as a plain throw,
crashing the wizard ladder instead of moving to the next candidate
Owner re-resolution now carries resolved model transport facts (fail closed
when the model cannot be resolved), and all setup revalidation sites route
through one helper whose drift error activation maps to
{ ok: false, status: "auth" }.
* feat(onboard): prefer logged-in subscription CLIs over env API keys in setup ladder
* fix(onboard): promote codex only on verifiable ChatGPT OAuth tokens
* fix(onboard): surface detected AI candidates in the top auth-choice tier
* fix(onboard): name detected candidates and the current model clearly
* test(setup): mock model resolution in the bound-session lock test
* fix(system-agent): carry verified model transport facts
* 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
User-facing name is now OpenClaw (the system speaks); internal code name is
system-agent. Gateway methods crestodian.* -> openclaw.chat/openclaw.setup.*,
agent tool -> openclaw, reserved agent ids openclaw + retired crestodian.
openclaw setup routes: onboarding flags -> onboard, -m/--yes -> system agent,
bare configured interactive -> OpenClaw chat, unconfigured -> onboarding.
Hidden crestodian CLI and /crestodian TUI aliases kept; docs moved to
docs/cli/openclaw.md with redirect stub. macOS/Android strings in lockstep.
