* feat(podman): add optional Podman setup and documentation
- Introduced `setup-podman.sh` for one-time host setup of OpenClaw in a rootless Podman environment, including user creation, image building, and launch script installation.
- Added `run-openclaw-podman.sh` for running the OpenClaw gateway as a Podman container.
- Created `openclaw.podman.env` for environment variable configuration.
- Updated documentation to include Podman installation instructions and a new dedicated Podman guide.
- Added a systemd Quadlet unit for managing the OpenClaw service as a user service.
* fix: harden Podman setup and docs (#16273) (thanks @DarwinsBuddy)
* style: format cli credentials

* fix: strip leading whitespace from sanitizeUserFacingText output
LLM responses frequently begin with \n\n, which survives through
sanitizeUserFacingText and reaches the channel as visible blank lines.
Root cause: the function used trimmed text for empty-checks but returned
the untrimmed 'stripped' variable. Two one-line fixes:
1. Return empty string (not whitespace-only 'stripped') for blank input
2. Apply trimStart() to the final return value
Fixes the same issue as #8052 and #10612 but at the root cause
(sanitizeUserFacingText) rather than scattering trimStart across
multiple delivery paths.
* Changelog: note sanitizeUserFacingText whitespace normalization

* fix(security): validate OAuth state parameter to prevent CSRF attacks (OC-25)
The parseOAuthCallbackInput() function in the Chutes OAuth flow had two
critical bugs that completely defeated CSRF state validation:
1. State extracted from callback URL was never compared against the
expected cryptographic nonce, allowing attacker-controlled state values
2. When URL parsing failed (bare authorization code input), the catch block
fabricated a matching state using expectedState, making the caller's
CSRF check always pass
## Attack Flow
1. Victim runs `openclaw login chutes --manual`
2. System generates cryptographic state: randomBytes(16).toString("hex")
3. Browser opens: https://api.chutes.ai/idp/authorize?state=abc123...
4. Attacker obtains their OWN OAuth authorization code (out of band)
5. Attacker tricks victim into pasting just "EVIL_CODE" (not full URL)
6. parseOAuthCallbackInput("EVIL_CODE", "abc123...") is called
7. new URL("EVIL_CODE") throws → catch block executes
8. catch returns { code: "EVIL_CODE", state: "abc123..." } ← FABRICATED
9. Caller checks: parsed.state !== state → "abc123..." !== "abc123..." → FALSE
10. CSRF check passes! System calls exchangeChutesCodeForTokens()
11. Attacker's code exchanged for access + refresh tokens
12. Victim's account linked to attacker's OAuth session
Fix:
- Add explicit state validation against expectedState before returning
- Remove state fabrication from catch block; always return error for
non-URL input
- Add comprehensive unit tests for state validation
Remediated by Aether AI Agent security analysis.

* feat(sandbox): add separate browser.binds config for browser containers
Allow configuring bind mounts independently for browser containers via
sandbox.browser.binds. When set, browser containers use browser-specific
binds instead of inheriting docker.binds. Falls back to docker.binds
when browser.binds is not configured for backwards compatibility.
Closes#14614
