* feat: node-hosted plugins — dynamic tools, MCP servers, and skills
Nodes become declarative plugin hosts:
- node.pluginTools.update: node hosts publish plugin-registered agent tool
descriptors; gateway materializes them as agent tools executing via
node.invoke under the node command allowlist, with tools.effective
invalidation and node online/offline removal.
- Trusted paired-node descriptors: no gateway-side plugin registration
required; gateway.nodes.pluginTools.enabled off-switch (default on);
description/count caps; deterministic node-prefixed collision names.
- Declarative node-hosted MCP: nodeHost.mcp.servers (McpServerConfig shape)
starts MCP clients on the node host, publishes tools as pluginId node-mcp,
executes via built-in mcp.tools.call.v1 with per-layer timeouts, failure
isolation, and orphan-safe shutdown. No re-pairing when servers change.
- Node-hosted skills: node.skills.update publishes ~/.openclaw/skills
content (64 skills/64KB/512KB caps both sides); gateway merges them into
the skills snapshot while connected and exec host=node is available, with
node:// locators, node-prefixed collisions, disabled command dispatch,
and gateway.nodes.skills.enabled + nodeHost.skills.enabled switches.
- Security: node-supplied pluginIds cannot satisfy pluginId-scoped tool
allowlists unless gateway-registered; reserved node-mcp id requires the
core MCP descriptor shape; protocol registry kept out of public
plugin-sdk dts.
- E2E: pond harness proves publication, MCP round-trip, skills locator, and
disconnect/reconnect for all three surfaces.
* style: format node-plugin-tools test
* fix(skills): keep status loader unfiltered when eligibility is passed
skills.status started passing eligibility for the node-skill merge, which
flipped loadWorkspaceSkillEntries into filtered mode and dropped disabled
skills from status reports (QA plugin-lifecycle-hot-reload timeout). Status
now merges node skills explicitly around an unfiltered load. Also: regen
docs_map for new node docs sections; add the intentional node-host MCP
onclose suppression to the lint-suppression allowlist.
