* feat(onboard): guided CLI onboarding with live AI verification and classic fallback
Interactive `openclaw onboard` (and bare `openclaw` on a fresh install) now
runs a guided flow with macOS-app parity: detect existing AI access, live-test
candidates with a real completion before persisting anything, walk down the
ladder on failure with mapped reasons, and offer verified manual API-key entry
from installed provider manifests (masked input). In-flow escapes: classic
wizard, Crestodian chat, skip-AI. Classic wizard gains an optional post-auth
live verification step. `--classic`, `--modern`, and `--non-interactive`
contracts unchanged. Docs corrected for post-#99935 routing.
Closes#101851
* improve(onboard): quiet probe diagnostics in wizard TTY, carry risk ack into classic escape
Candidate live-tests during guided setup are probes: rename their run id and
lane to the existing probe conventions (logging/subsystem.ts console
suppression, command-queue quiet probe lanes) so expected failures stop
leaking raw diagnostics into the Clack UI; file diagnostics unchanged. The
classic-wizard escape now passes the already-collected risk acknowledgement
through instead of re-prompting in the same session.
* fix(onboard): quiet the session-derived setup-inference probe lane too
The live-test run enqueues on two lanes: the explicit probe lane and one
derived from its temp session key. Extend the shared quiet-probe predicate to
cover the derived lane so a failing candidate cannot leak lane-task
diagnostics into the wizard TTY.
* improve(onboard): suppress subsystem console output during wizard live tests
Provider-transport subsystem loggers (model-fetch start/response, transport
errors) carry no run id, so probe suppression cannot catch them and a failing
candidate printed raw log lines into the Clack TTY. Reuse the TUI console
subsystem-filter seam via a finally-safe scoped helper around guided
activation and the classic live-verify; file logging is unchanged and the
gateway (macOS app) surface is unaffected.
* fix(onboard): never auto-replace a configured model when its live check fails
The re-run verification probe executes outside the configured workspace (setup
never runs workspace plugins), so a workspace-backed current model can fail
the check while working fine in the agent. Stop the auto ladder on an
existing-model failure and hand the decision to the manual stage instead of
silently persisting a different candidate as the default. Docs note the
fail-safe and the workspace caveat.
* feat(onboard): two-way switching between Crestodian chat and the menu wizards
From the chat, `open setup wizard`, `open classic wizard`, and `open channel
wizard for <channel>` hand off to the guided flow, the classic wizard, or the
masked `channels add` wizard after the chat TUI tears down (mirrors the
open-tui handoff; gateway surface gets a text pointer instead). The hosted
channel wizard no longer dead-ends at sensitive steps — it offers the switch
and remembers the channel. New read-only `channel info <channel>` operation
and ring-zero action surface label, blurb, configured state, and the real
docs URL from channel-setup discovery so the assistant can explain Slack or
Telegram prerequisites instead of guessing; both prompts instruct it to use
them. `channels add --channel <id>` now preselects the channel. Docs cover
the interchangeable flows.
* fix(onboard): avoid param reassignment in open-setup handoff
* improve(onboard): separate ask-about vs connect intent in channel prompt guidance
Live test showed the agent detouring an explicit connect request through
channel_info because the guidance said to consult it first. Both prompts now
distinguish asking about a channel (channel info + docs link) from asking to
connect (connect right away).
* fix(channels): mark channel token entry as sensitive input
The shared single-token prompt lacked sensitive:true, so terminal wizards
echoed pasted channel tokens and the Crestodian chat bridge (which refuses
plain-text secrets based on this flag) hosted the Telegram token step in
visible chat. Found live-testing the chat-to-wizard switch; pre-existing on
main but load-bearing for the masked-wizard contract this PR documents.
* fix(onboard): restore terminal state around the guided flow's TUI launch
Mirror the classic finalize handoff so the chat TUI never inherits the wizard
prompter's raw/paused terminal state on the default first-run path.
* fix(channels): type the token prompter mock for the sensitive-flag assertion
* fix(gateway): map the TUI-only open-setup action to none for app clients
Engine-side surface gating already prevents open-setup replies on the gateway
surface; this keeps the client-visible action enum stable even if that gate
ever regresses. (Reviewed with the switching round; missed in its commit.)
