* feat(channels list): drop auth providers, add --all, surface installed/configured/enabled
`openclaw channels list` used to conflate two very different surfaces: chat
channels and OAuth/API-key auth providers for model routing. The auth
section was the first and most visible block in the output even for
operators who only cared about chat channels, and its JSON `auth` key
leaked model-provider identities into a command whose top-level help
describes it as channel management. Worse, the command silently hid
every channel that had no configured account, so users could not tell
from `channels list` which bundled or catalog channels were even
available to configure.
Split the surface cleanly around channels only:
1. Remove the `Auth providers (OAuth + API keys)` text section and the
`auth` field from the JSON payload. Model-provider auth profiles
remain reachable via `openclaw models auth list`, which is where
they conceptually belong.
2. Add a `--all` flag to surface every channel an operator could
configure: bundled channel plugins that have no account yet and
catalog-listed external channels whose plugin package is not even
installed on disk. Without `--all` the output still shows only
channels with at least one configured account, matching the
previous default behavior so existing scripts keep working. The
"empty" default path now prints a hint pointing at `--all`.
3. Render three explicit status tags per row — `installed` /
`not installed`, `configured` / `not configured`, `enabled` /
`disabled` — so bundled-but-unconfigured plugins and installable
catalog channels both render with accurate state instead of being
invisible. Installed state comes from the same
`isCatalogChannelInstalled` probe the setup flow uses, so it stays
consistent with `openclaw onboard` and `channels add`.
4. JSON payload now carries an `origin` per channel (`configured`,
`available`, `installable`) alongside `installed: boolean`, which
lets tooling distinguish "user has set this up" from "user could
set this up" without second-guessing.
Register `--all` on both the Commander CLI and the fast-path route-arg
parser so the flag works in both code paths, update the one routes
test that asserted the parsed args shape, and rewrite the old auth
profiles surface test as a broader `channels list` behavior spec
covering default output, `--all` output, JSON shape (no `auth`), and
the bundled-unconfigured + catalog-not-installed cases.
Docs: call out that `channels list` is chat-channel only now, mention
`--all`, and point at `openclaw models auth list` for what used to be
the auth providers block.
* fix(channels list): surface catalog channels that are installed on disk but not yet configured
The previous `--all` path filtered catalog entries with
`!installedByChannelId.get(entry.id)` before rendering them as
catalog-only rows. That assumed "catalog entry not already rendered
as a plugin row" implied "not installed", which is wrong: an external
channel plugin package can be installed on disk (`isCatalogChannelInstalled`
returns true) while the read-only channel loader still declines to
surface a plugin object for it — the loader only activates channels
that appear in user config, so a plugin that is installed but never
configured ended up in neither bucket and silently dropped out of
`channels list --all`.
Operator-facing symptom: `pnpm openclaw channels list --all` omitted
WeCom (and any other catalog channel in the same state) even though
its npm package was present on disk and its catalog entry existed,
while rendering every other uninstalled catalog channel as expected.
Fix: drop the `installed` filter from `catalogOnlyLines` so every
catalog entry that is not already represented by a plugin row is
rendered, and let the row itself carry the real installed/not-installed
tag. Two renderings now land in the catalog-only bucket:
- Not installed — rendered as `not installed, not configured, disabled`
(installable row).
- Installed but unconfigured — rendered as `installed, not configured,
disabled` (ready-to-configure row). The JSON `origin` for this case
becomes `available`, matching the existing origin for bundled
plugins that are installed but unconfigured, so downstream tooling
sees a consistent "you could configure this now" signal regardless
of whether the plugin came from bundled sources or from the catalog.
Regression test added under the WeCom scenario.
* refactor(channels list): drop model-provider usage surface, make the command channel-only
`openclaw channels list` used to append a model-provider usage/quota
snapshot (Anthropic, OpenRouter, OpenAI Codex, Gemini, Zai, Minimax,
etc.) under every invocation. That was a leftover from the days when
`channels list` was the only "operator overview" command; the same
data is now owned by `openclaw status` (overview) and
`openclaw models list` (per-provider), which handle timeouts, probe
errors, and output shape consistently for that class of data. Keeping
the snapshot wired into `channels list` meant:
- Every default invocation made one blocking `loadProviderUsageSummary`
call that fanned out to every configured provider billing/auth
endpoint, adding seconds of latency to a command that otherwise
just reads local config.
- `channels list --no-usage` was the escape hatch, but the flag was
itself a self-sustaining bug: it only existed because the command
did work that did not belong to it.
- JSON consumers had an optional `usage` key whose shape was owned by
the provider-usage module, not by the channels module, so any
change upstream silently reshaped `channels list --json` output.
- Failed provider fetches printed provider-side errors on a command
that never advertised itself as a provider-health surface.
Scope this PR tightens, in one move:
1. Remove `loadProviderUsageSummary` / `formatUsageReportLines` usage
from `src/commands/channels/list.ts`. The command now only reads
config, the read-only channel plugin registry, and the trusted
catalog — matching its name.
2. Drop `--no-usage` from the Commander CLI registration, from the
fast-path route-arg parser (`parseChannelsListRouteArgs`), and
from `ChannelsListOptions`. The flag is gone, not silently
ignored, so anyone depending on it will get a clear
"unknown option" from Commander and from the fast-path router.
3. Drop the `usage` key from `channels list --json` payloads. Shape
of the `chat` record and the new `origin` / `installed` tags
introduced earlier in this branch are unchanged.
4. Print a single-line migration pointer at the bottom of the text
output so operators who expected usage know where it went
(`openclaw status` / `openclaw models list`). This replaces what
used to be a block of fetched provider data with one static line,
so it cannot fail or add latency.
5. Update `docs/cli/channels.md` troubleshooting to remove the
`--no-usage` mention and point at the two new entry points.
6. Update tests: drop the `loadProviderUsageSummary` mock and the
`"keeps JSON output valid when usage loading fails"` case,
replace it with a positive assertion that `payload.usage` is
undefined (locking in the narrower contract), and remove `usage`
from every `channelsListCommand(...)` call to match the narrowed
`ChannelsListOptions` type. The route-args test is updated to
expect `{ json, all }` without `usage`.
No other command changes. `openclaw status` and `openclaw models list`
already render usage; they are the documented replacements.
Breaking-ish surface:
- CLI: `channels list --no-usage` now fails with "unknown option".
Tooling should drop the flag — there is nothing left to opt out of.
- JSON: `channels list --json` no longer carries a top-level `usage`
key. Tooling that read it must migrate to
`openclaw status --json` or `openclaw models list --json`.
* fix(channels.list.test): widen isCatalogChannelInstalled mock signature to accept entry param
CI typecheck failed because the mock was declared with a zero-arg signature while one test called mockImplementation(({ entry }) => …). Tighten the generic so vitest's mock accepts the same params the real helper does.
* changelog: record channels list channel-only rework (#78456)

- The branch moves configured-channel plugin registry loading for `openclaw message` into `runCommandWithRuntime`, adds regression coverage for preload failure exit handling, and adds a changelog fix entry for #76168.
- Reproducibility: yes. for the exit-path bug: current main calls plugin registry preload before `runCommandWi ... the high-CPU child process in this read-only review, but the missing exit boundary is source-reproducible.

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.
Several `openclaw <parent>` commands (channels, plugins, approvals, devices,
cron, mcp) were exiting with code 1 when invoked bare, while printing the
same help-style content that `<parent> --help` produces (which exits 0).
This broke `&&` chains and surfaced a misleading
`ELIFECYCLE Command failed with exit code 1.` line under pnpm.
Add a small `applyParentDefaultHelpAction(cmd)` helper in
`src/cli/program/parent-default-help.ts` that attaches a default action
which prints the parent's own help and sets `process.exitCode = 0`. The
helper is a no-op when the parent already has its own action (e.g.
`agents` defaulting to `agents list`), so existing intentional defaults
are preserved.
Apply it to the six core parents listed in #73077.
