- Ran the ClawSweeper repair loop before final review.
Validation:
- ClawSweeper review passed for head 3482654058.

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.
Reorg
- Rename the architecture page title to "QA overview" (slug stays
/concepts/qa-e2e-automation so inbound links keep working).
- Move "Adding a channel to QA" + scenario-helper-name reference from
testing.md into qa-e2e-automation.md under "Transport adapters". Architecture
belongs with the architecture page.
- Drop the duplicate live-transport coverage table from testing.md; canonical
copy stays in qa-e2e-automation.md under a new "Live transport coverage"
heading so qa-matrix.md can deep-link to it.
- Slim testing.md QA-specific runners section to ops only, with cross-links.
Audit (against extensions/qa-lab/src/cli.ts, qa-channel/src/config-schema.ts,
and live-transport runtimes)
- qa-e2e-automation.md gains a "Command surface" table covering all 14
openclaw qa <subcommand> forms; previously only ~7 of 14 were named.
- Document missing OPENCLAW_QA_TELEGRAM_CAPTURE_CONTENT and
OPENCLAW_QA_DISCORD_CAPTURE_CONTENT env vars (Matrix already had it).
- Cross-link qa coverage from the Reporting section.
- qa-channel.md completes the config-key list (enabled, name, accounts,
defaultAccount were missing from the schema doc) and pollTimeoutMs range.
- Drop stale "Follow-up work" framing in qa-channel.md (provider/model matrix,
scenario discovery, orchestration) — all three already shipped.
- Replace "vertical slice" language with current behavior; fix misplaced
debugger-UI paragraph.
Discoverability
- Add a Note callout to testing.md pointing at the three QA pages
(QA overview, Matrix QA, QA channel) so maintainers landing on testing.md
see the QA stack in the prologue.
