* refactor: extract reusable AI runtime package
* refactor: complete AI provider relocation
* refactor: keep llm core internal
* refactor(ai): make @openclaw/ai self-contained with host policy ports
Move pure transport helpers (tool projections, strict-schema normalization,
prompt-cache boundary, stream guards, anthropic/openai compat, request
activity) from src into packages/ai; move utf16-slice into
normalization-core. Inject host policy (guarded fetch, redaction,
strict-tool defaults, diagnostics logging) through AiTransportHost with
inert library defaults installed by src/llm/stream.ts. Narrow the public
barrel to instance-scoped createApiRegistry/createLlmRuntime; the
process-default runtime moves behind internal/ and
registerBuiltInApiProviders takes an explicit registry. Delete the
src/llm/api-registry re-export facade.
* fix(ai): teach node, jiti, and vite resolvers the @openclaw/ai and utf16-slice subpaths
The workspace alias tables in root-alias.cjs, plugin-sdk-native-resolver,
sdk-alias, the shared vitest config, and the Control UI vite config only
knew @openclaw/llm-core; Node-side plugin loading resolved @openclaw/ai
through the pnpm symlink to the unbuilt dist (checks-node-compact CI
failures), and the Control UI build broke on the new
normalization-core/utf16-slice subpath.
* chore(ui): drop leftover service-worker debug logging
* build(release): ship @openclaw/ai with its own shrinkwrap and honest dependency set
packages/ai declares only its six real runtime deps (kysely, chalk, json5,
tslog, zod, fs-safe, and proxyline were never imported); orphaned root deps
removed. generate-npm-shrinkwrap now treats publishable packages/* like
publishable plugins so the AI tarball pins its transitive tree even though
workspace deps are omitted from the root shrinkwrap. knip learns the
package entry points; the tsdown dts neverBundle option moves to its
documented deps.dts home; the README documents the no-semver internal/*
contract and host ports.
* docs(ai): add minimal external-consumer example app
examples/ai-chat consumes only the public @openclaw/ai surface (built dist
via the workspace link): isolated runtime, built-in provider registration,
one streamed completion. Supports Anthropic/OpenAI via env keys and a
keyless local Ollama target; live-verified against Ollama.
* docs(ai): document the @openclaw/ai package and workspace shrinkwrap boundary
* chore(check): include examples/ in duplicate-scan targets
* fix: emit normalization package subpaths
* fix: complete AI package boundary artifacts
* fix: align AI package boundary contracts
* fix(ci): stabilize package release contracts
* test: align documentation contract checks
* test: keep cron docs guard aligned
* test: align restored docs contract guards
* test: follow upstream docs contracts
* docs: drop superseded talk wording
Adds stdout and both-mode diagnostics OTEL log export, with focused QA Lab smoke coverage and docs/config updates.
