CLI harnesses (claude-cli, gemini-cli) cannot enforce runtime toolsAllow, so
Crestodian previously fell back to the single-turn planner for them. The
openclaw-tools stdio MCP entry can now serve the ring-zero crestodian tool
(OPENCLAW_TOOLS_MCP_TOOLS=crestodian), and Crestodian CLI runs inject it as the
run's exclusive MCP surface: no loopback server, no plugin/user MCP servers,
with the server kept under the "openclaw" name so existing tool pre-approvals
apply. agent-turn routes configured or detected CLI-harness models through
runCliAgent with native session resume across turns, keeps embedded toolsAllow
enforcement for API-key models and the Codex app-server fallback, and still
degrades to the planner when no loop backend works.
The host-verified approval contract survives the process boundary: per-turn
arming and the pending exact-operation hash travel to the stdio server via the
generated MCP config env, and the host mirrors proposal transitions back from
harness tool events (denial registers the hash, mismatch voids it, execution
consumes it) so a generic yes can never authorize a different mutation. The
trust model (the CLI owns its native tools) is documented in
docs/cli/crestodian.md.
* 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.

Summary:
- This PR routes bare `openclaw` to classic onboarding for missing, empty, or metadata-only configs; keeps aut ... cs/changelog/tests; and narrows a Docker E2E boundary-check exception for an existing source-checkout lane.
- Reproducibility: not applicable. this is a feature/default-routing PR rather than a bug report. The branch p ... ill includes a fresh-state terminal run reaching `OpenClaw setup` and tests for the relevant config states.

Remove the bundled codex-cli backend, migrate legacy codex-cli refs and runtime pins to the Codex app-server runtime, and update live/backend workflow coverage for the supported CLI lanes.
Summary:
- The branch adds ClawHub plugin search and Crestodian plugin list/search/install/uninstall flows, with docs, changelog, tests, runtime injection, and regenerated config baseline hashes.
- Reproducibility: not applicable. as a bug reproduction request. The high-confidence verification path is cur ... surface search plus exact-head diff/source inspection against the PR's targeted tests and queued CI checks.
