* 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.)
* docs: regenerate docs map for onboarding page changes
Fixes rough edges in the standalone install flow (install.sh -> openclaw onboard), found and verified by running the flow in a clean container and on a clean macOS Tahoe VM:
- Provider auth setup failures (e.g. the preselected "Anthropic Claude CLI" option on a host without a Claude CLI login) no longer kill the whole wizard. The interactive wizard notes the error and returns to the provider picker; explicit --auth-choice automation still fails fast.
- Onboarding config now persists before the channel/search/skills steps, so a crash or cancel during channel pairing no longer loses auth + gateway decisions.
- With model auth skipped, finalize no longer auto-sends the "Wake up, my friend!" message (which always failed with a provider auth error). The hatch seed is gated on usable model credentials and a "Model auth missing" note explains the next step.
- Search provider picker no longer labels non-key credentials (e.g. SearXNG base URL) as "API key required".
- install.sh no longer warns "PATH missing npm global bin dir" with manual fix steps after it already persisted the export line; it reports the PATH was updated and how to reload the current shell.
- Removed the dead interactive hooks onboarding step (setupInternalHooks); quickstart enables default hooks silently.
Verified live per fix in a clean Debian/Node 24 container and on a clean macOS 26.5 Parallels VM (wizard re-prompt, SearXNG label), plus wizard/onboard test suites and tsgo:core.

* feat(crestodian): AI-first conversational onboarding with typed-op guardrails
Interactive `openclaw onboard` (and bare `openclaw` on a fresh install) now
opens the Crestodian conversation: detection-backed first-run proposal
(Claude Code/Codex logins, API keys), persona AI turns for every free-form
message (configless local-runtime fallback, 60s deadline, deterministic
degradation), approval-gated typed operations, chat-hosted channel setup
(`connect <channel>`), config get/schema read ops with secret redaction, and
a post-write validation hook that feeds schema errors back for a self-fix
turn. Adds the additive gateway `crestodian.chat` method so app clients run
the same conversation. Classic wizard stays behind --classic/explicit flags;
non-interactive automation unchanged; `--modern` becomes a deprecated alias
for `openclaw crestodian`.
* feat(macos): Crestodian chat onboarding and importance-ordered permissions
Replace the gateway step-wizard page with a Crestodian chat over the new
crestodian.chat method (works before any model auth exists), sort the
permissions page by importance with no scrolling, drop the redundant manual
refresh, and bump the onboarding version.
* feat(crestodian): run the custodian on the real agent loop with a ring-zero tool
Crestodian conversations now execute through the same embedded agent runner
as regular agents: a persistent agent session with a single construction-gated
`crestodian` tool wrapping the typed operations (read actions free; mutations
require approved=true asserted from explicit user consent, audited, with
post-write config validation fed back into the loop). The engine prefers the
loop (configured models or the Codex app-server fallback) and degrades to the
single-turn planner, then to deterministic commands. Setup approval seeds the
crestodian exec approval so local model harnesses can run; the configless
Codex backend config now enables exec and direct tool loading (it was
dead-on-arrival behind tools.exec.mode=deny and the tool-search index).
* test(crestodian): type the engine mock signatures for the core test lane
* fix(crestodian): map the advertised create_agent tool action
* fix(crestodian): host-verified approval arming and a macOS setup completion gate
Review findings: the model-supplied approved flag alone could authorize
ring-zero mutations (prompt injection / model error), and removing the macOS
wizard gate let users Next past the Crestodian page with nothing configured.
Mutating tool actions now also require host-verified consent (the engine arms
approval only when the user's actual message is an explicit yes), and local
macOS onboarding blocks advancing until setup authored the config, using the
same signal the old step wizard checked.
* fix(crestodian): bind approval to the exact proposed operation and gate dot navigation
A generic yes no longer authorizes arbitrary mutations: denied mutating tool
calls register a canonical operation fingerprint (host-owned, per session),
and an armed turn executes only the identical call, once. The denial message
is arming-aware so the approved turn self-heals in one roundtrip, and the
agent protocol pre-registers proposals. macOS onboarding page dots now honor
the same setup-completion gate as the Next button.
* fix(crestodian): redact sensitive wizard answers, skip logged-out CLIs, gate programmatic advance
Sensitive channel-wizard answers (tokens, passwords) are redacted from the
AI-visible conversation history; setup and the onboarding welcome never pick
or advertise a definitively logged-out CLI as the model; and macOS
handleNext() honors the page gates for programmatic callers (chat handoff)
just like the Next button.
* fix(crestodian): align the onboarding welcome's configured predicate with the app gate
A valid config carrying only a default model (partial/hand-written) now still
gets the first-run proposal instead of the ready guide, so the macOS setup
gate can always be satisfied from the conversation.
* fix(crestodian): armed turns can never mint their own executable proposal
An approval-mismatched call inside an armed turn no longer re-registers and
invites a retry (which let the model swap the approved operation for another
in the same turn); it voids the approval entirely and requires a fresh yes.
Proposals register only in unarmed turns, which the agent protocol already
does when proposing.

* fix(wizard): preserve existing default model during setup auth choice
Without preserveExistingDefaultModel: true, the setup wizard
overwrite the user's configured default model when a new provider
auth is selected. This causes existing heartbeat turns to silently
consume paid API quota (e.g. Google Gemini) instead of the user's
original model.
The configure.gateway-auth.ts path already passes this flag; the
setup wizard path was missing it.
Fixes#64129
* fix(wizard): add type assertion for preserveExistingDefaultModel test
Keep the setup TUI parent stdin paused after its inherited-stdio child exits so Docker and PTY setup parents terminate cleanly. Align pre/post setup terminal cleanup with the cleanup-then-exit contract and add lifecycle regression coverage.

Split the diffs viewer Shiki language pack into an external publishable plugin.
The diffs plugin keeps the default curated syntax set, while the new @openclaw/diffs-language-pack package carries the extended Shiki languages for npm and ClawHub distribution. The install metadata includes the external ClawHub spec, and the curated C# alias set keeps both c# and cs supported without the language pack.

Fix non-interactive and wizard onboarding reruns so existing agent lists and bindings are preserved unless the user explicitly resets config.
Isolate legacy `plugins.installs` migration into its own write so the config size-drop allowance cannot mask unrelated config loss, while preserving new or repaired install records for the final plugin-index commit. Also keep shrinkwrap generation pinned to pnpm-locked transitive patch versions only when the dependency edge still allows that version, and isolate the tooling Vitest shard that mutates process state.
Fixes#84692.
Replaces #84748.

Preserve existing `agents.list` and top-level `bindings` during ordinary onboarding reruns so rerunning `openclaw onboard` cannot silently wipe configured agents or routing bindings.
Keep config size-drop allowances scoped to explicit reset/import/plugin-install migration flows, validate binding agent ids with normalized agent ids, and add doctor repair coverage for dangling bindings that is still best-effort around malformed agent lists.
Closes#84692.
