* fix(agents): teach canonical automations tool in fallback guidance and reuse the identity source
Review follow-ups: the structured-list fallback still taught models the cron
tool; the cron-scope test echoed its own stub; MCP serve allowlist and voice
confirmation hardcoded the name instead of the canonical constant.
* fix(mcp): place automations identity import outside the header comment
* feat(agents): rename model- and user-facing scheduler strings to automations
Rewrites every string the model or user sees that names the feature:
tool label and terminal presentation, display-summary preset, subagents
catalog description, heartbeat guidance, subagent prompt, session labels
(Cron: -> Automation:), default job name, unattended-run preamble, delivery
awareness text, task-ledger progress summary, failure alerts, auto-disable
notification, model preflight diagnostics, validation errors, and the
shipped workspace AGENTS.md template. Adds a system-prompt backstop rule on
the automations tool line: the feature is called automations, never cron.
Cron stays only where it names the schedule syntax ({kind:"cron"}, cron
expressions), config keys (cron.triggers.enabled), RPC method names, and
session-key namespaces. Test fixtures with legacy labels are kept as
stored-data coverage. Part of RFC openclaw/rfcs#50 Phase 1 (PR B).
* docs(templates): keep workspace template on the live docs anchor until the docs PR renames it
* fix(cron): rename remaining failure-notification producers and stale test expectations
Codex review follow-ups: the per-run failure notification (server-cron-
notifications) and the doctor legacy-notify advisory still said Cron job;
failure-alert and incomplete-turn suites still asserted the old wording.
* chore(plugin-sdk): re-emit plugin-state test runtime dts
CI's extension-boundary runner holds stale tsgo incremental state whose
cached plugin-state-test-runtime.d.ts predates the keyed-store re-exports;
the freshness stamp validates it and reruns reuse the same sticky disk.
Touching the module forces incremental emit to regenerate the declaration.
Fresh builds of this head (local exact CI command and a forced Testbox
rebuild) both emit the exports correctly.
* fix(agents): rename residual model- and operator-facing cron prose
Found in combined dev-gateway E2E: fallback tool line still told models the
scheduler tool is cron; heartbeat scratch description, cron model preflight
rejection, doctor and Claw prose still said cron jobs.
* fix(agents): finish model-facing scheduler strings flagged in review
Loop work-order prompts, subagents tool description, cron-tool write errors,
and the headless exec denial label now say automations; loop builders covered
by prompt assertions; snapshots regenerated.
* chore(agents): refresh generated baselines and live docs anchor after rebase onto main
* fix(agents): rename new main-side cron tool error expectations to automations
* fix(gateway): rename main-side cron notification test expectations to automations
* chore(agents): apply review moves - automations commands in workspace template, drop unrelated sdk comment

* refactor(agents): route scheduler tool-name consumers through canonical identity
Introduce AUTOMATIONS_TOOL_NAME + isAutomationsToolName() in
src/agents/tools/automations-tool-name.ts as the single source of truth for
the scheduler agent tool's name, and convert every exact-name consumer:
factory descriptors, deferred-followup availability detection, add-counting,
policy deny lists, mutation classification, trusted media set, tool catalog
id, system-prompt tool order and tool-line map, sandbox deny defaults,
delegation capability map, MCP loopback probes, and local-model lean deny.
Behavior-neutral: the constant still resolves to "cron". Prepares the
rename in RFC openclaw/rfcs#50 so the flip is a one-line change with no
scattered literals.
* feat(agents): rename scheduler agent tool cron -> automations
Flip AUTOMATIONS_TOOL_NAME to "automations" and register the legacy name:
- TOOL_NAME_ALIASES gains cron -> automations, so persisted toolsAllow/
toolsDeny lists, tool groups, and creator allowlists written before the
rename keep matching through the same shipped mechanism as bash -> exec.
No doctor rewrite needed.
- isAutomationsToolName() accepts legacy names so saved transcripts keep
their mutation/replay-safety classification; MUTATING_TOOL_NAMES retains
the legacy entry for the same reason.
- Tool label, catalog label, and tool-search keywords follow the rename
("cron" kept as a search synonym).
- Regression tests cover old-name policy matching (allow and deny), legacy
transcript replay classification, and legacy creator allowlists
normalizing to the canonical id.
Model-facing description strings still say cron; those move in the
follow-up strings PR. Part of RFC openclaw/rfcs#50 Phase 1.
* test(agents): update creator-cap expectations for canonical automations id
The creator tool surface derives from normalized live tool names, so derived
toolsAllow outputs now emit "automations". Passthrough paths without a
creator cap keep storing user input verbatim; those expectations stay on the
legacy name as stored-data coverage.
* fix(gateway): canonicalize legacy cron tool calls and restore scheduler deny protection
Review follow-ups from ClawSweeper and Codex on the rename (RFC 0026):
- MCP loopback tools/call resolves legacy "cron" names to the published
automations tool without re-advertising the old name in tools/list.
- Gateway /tools/invoke canonicalizes legacy names before core-id checks and
exact-name dispatch, so pre-rename integrations keep working.
- Security fix: dangerous-tools deny lists (owner-only HTTP deny and
control-plane set) were keyed on the literal "cron", so the renamed tool
silently lost default-deny and owner-only protection on the HTTP invoke
surface. Lists now use the canonical constant, and the gateway.tools.allow
un-deny filter normalizes both sides so legacy allow entries still lift it.
- Voice high-impact confirmation list and MCP serve creator allowlist follow
the canonical name.
Existing cron-regression suite now proves the legacy path end to end:
default deny 404 for both names, legacy allow entry lifts the deny, and
non-owner protection holds.
* fix(agents): cover stdio MCP legacy calls, probe prompts, and prompt snapshots for the rename
- stdio MCP servers (openclaw-tools-serve / plugin tools handlers) resolve
legacy "cron" callTool names to the published canonical tool, matching
the HTTP loopback behavior; listTools stays canonical-only.
- Live probe prompts instruct harnesses to load/call the automations MCP
tool (mcp__openclaw__automations) instead of the retired name.
- Prompt snapshot fixture filter follows the canonical name (the renamed
tool had silently dropped out of the Codex dynamic-tools snapshots);
snapshots regenerated as a clean rename.
- Type-cast the new mcp-http handler test payloads for check-test-types.
* test(agents): update tool-surface expectations for the automations rename
CI-surfaced fallout in shards not covered by the focused local runs: tool
availability, agent-config filtering, coding-tools construction,
model-provider lean policy, and skill dispatch all assert the scheduler
tool's surface name. Mock fixtures and expectations follow the canonical
id; legacy-name coverage stays in the dedicated policy/creator-cap/invoke
regression suites.
* test(gateway): update tool-resolution exclude expectations for automations rename
* test(security): update trust-model audit expectations for automations rename
* docs(agents): declare cron a permanent scheduler-tool alias per owner decision
Maintainer decision (Omar): cron is not being retired anywhere — config keys,
RPC methods, schedule syntax, and the CLI token all keep it, and the tool
alias follows the same permanent contract as bash -> exec. No doctor rewrite
and no removal window; comments updated to state the contract instead of a
deprecation plan.
* chore(agents): regen prompt snapshots after rebase onto main
* fix(agents): teach canonical automations tool in fallback guidance and reuse the identity source
Review follow-ups: the structured-list fallback still taught models the cron
tool; the cron-scope test echoed its own stub; MCP serve allowlist and voice
confirmation hardcoded the name instead of the canonical constant.
* fix(mcp): place automations identity import outside the header comment
