the sun gif man d4b4660026 config: stop automatic writes and guard Nix mutators (#78047 )

Keep startup-derived plugin enablement, gateway auth tokens, control UI origins, and owner-display secrets runtime-only instead of persisting them into openclaw.json.

Refuse config writers, mutating update/plugin lifecycle commands, and doctor repair/token generation in Nix mode with agent-first nix-openclaw guidance.

Verification:
- pnpm check
- pnpm build
- pnpm test -- src/config/io.write-config.test.ts src/config/mutate.test.ts src/config/io.owner-display-secret.test.ts src/gateway/server-startup-config.recovery.test.ts src/gateway/startup-auth.test.ts src/gateway/startup-control-ui-origins.test.ts src/cli/plugins-cli.install.test.ts src/cli/plugins-cli.policy.test.ts src/cli/plugins-cli.uninstall.test.ts src/cli/plugins-cli.update.test.ts src/cli/update-cli.test.ts src/auto-reply/reply/commands-plugins.install.test.ts src/auto-reply/reply/commands-plugins.test.ts src/commands/onboarding-plugin-install.test.ts src/commands/doctor.runs-legacy-state-migrations-yes-mode-without.e2e.test.ts src/commands/doctor/shared/codex-route-warnings.test.ts src/commands/doctor/repair-sequencing.test.ts src/agents/auth-profile-runtime-contract.test.ts src/auto-reply/reply/agent-runner-execution.test.ts

CLI reference for `openclaw setup` (initialize config + workspace)

You’re doing first-run setup without full CLI onboarding

You want to set the default workspace path

Setup

`openclaw setup`

Initialize ~/.openclaw/openclaw.json and the agent workspace.

`openclaw setup` is for mutable config installs. In Nix mode (`OPENCLAW_NIX_MODE=1`), OpenClaw refuses setup writes because the config file is managed by Nix. Agents should use the first-party [nix-openclaw Quick Start](https://github.com/openclaw/nix-openclaw#quick-start) or the equivalent source config for another Nix package.

Getting started: Getting started
CLI onboarding: Onboarding (CLI)

Examples

openclaw setup
openclaw setup --workspace ~/.openclaw/workspace
openclaw setup --wizard
openclaw setup --wizard --import-from hermes --import-source ~/.hermes
openclaw setup --non-interactive --mode remote --remote-url wss://gateway-host:18789 --remote-token <token>

Options

--workspace <dir>: agent workspace directory (stored as agents.defaults.workspace)
--wizard: run onboarding
--non-interactive: run onboarding without prompts
--mode <local|remote>: onboarding mode
--import-from <provider>: migration provider to run during onboarding
--import-source <path>: source agent home for --import-from
--import-secrets: import supported secrets during onboarding migration
--remote-url <url>: remote Gateway WebSocket URL
--remote-token <token>: remote Gateway token

To run onboarding via setup:

openclaw setup --wizard

Notes:

Plain openclaw setup initializes config + workspace without the full onboarding flow.
After plain setup, run openclaw configure to choose models, channels, Gateway, plugins, skills, or health checks.
Onboarding auto-runs when any onboarding flags are present (--wizard, --non-interactive, --mode, --import-from, --import-source, --import-secrets, --remote-url, --remote-token).
If Hermes state is detected, interactive onboarding can offer migration automatically. Import onboarding requires a fresh setup; use Migrate for dry-run plans, backups, and overwrite mode outside onboarding.
