-<summary>Linked context guidance</summary>
-
-Link the issue, PR, discussion, maintainer request, or owner request that explains why this PR should exist. Maintainer context helps reviewers and automation distinguish intended work from drive-by churn.

-## Real behavior proof (required for external PRs)
-
-- Behavior or issue addressed:
-- Real environment tested:
-- Exact steps or command run after this patch:
-- Evidence after fix (screenshot, recording, terminal capture, console output, redacted runtime log, linked artifact, or copied live output):
-- Observed result after fix:
-- What was not tested:
-- Proof limitations or environment constraints:
-- Before evidence (optional but encouraged):

-<summary>Real behavior proof guidance</summary>
-
-External contributors must show after-fix evidence from a real OpenClaw setup. Unit tests, mocks, lint, typechecks, snapshots, and CI are supplemental only.
-
-Screenshots are encouraged even for CLI, console, text, or log changes. Terminal screenshots, copied live output, redacted runtime logs, recordings, and linked artifacts count.
-
-If your environment cannot produce the ideal proof, explain that under `Proof limitations or environment constraints` so reviewers and ClawSweeper can direct the next step properly.
-
-Be mindful of private information like IP addresses, API keys, phone numbers, non-public endpoints, or other private details when providing evidence.
-

-
-## Tests and validation
-
-Which commands did you run?
-
-What regression coverage was added or updated?
-
-What failed before this fix, if known?
-
-If no test was added, why not?
-
-<details>
-<summary>Testing guidance</summary>
-
-List focused commands, not every incidental check. CI is useful support, but external PRs still need real behavior proof above when behavior changes.
-
-</details>
-
-## Risk checklist
-
-Did user-visible behavior change? (`Yes/No`)
-
-Did config, environment, or migration behavior change? (`Yes/No`)
-
-Did security, auth, secrets, network, or tool execution behavior change? (`Yes/No`)
-
-What is the highest-risk area?
-
-How is that risk mitigated?
-
-<details>
-<summary>Risk guidance</summary>
-
-Use this for author judgment that is not obvious from the diff. ClawSweeper can see touched files, but it cannot know which behavior you think is risky, why the risk is acceptable, or what mitigation reviewers should verify.
-
-</details>
-
-## Current review state
-
-What is the next action?
-
-What is still waiting on author, maintainer, CI, or external proof?
-
-Which bot or reviewer comments were addressed?
-
-<details>
-<summary>Review state guidance</summary>
-
-Keep this as the durable state for review progress. If useful information appears in comments, fold the current next action or blocker back here so maintainers and ClawSweeper do not need to reconstruct state from comment history.
-

+Reviewers will inspect the code, tests, and CI. Use this section to make the
+validation easy to understand, not to restate the diff.

+  - You want a personal Zalo assistant bot with QR-code login
+  - You are installing or troubleshooting the openclaw-zaloclawbot channel plugin
+title: "Zalo ClawBot"
+---
+
+OpenClaw connects to Zalo ClawBot through the catalog-listed external
+`@zalo-platforms/openclaw-zaloclawbot` plugin. Login uses a Zalo Mini App QR
+code.
+
+## Compatibility
+
+| Plugin Version | OpenClaw Version | npm dist-tag | Status        |
+| -------------- | ---------------- | ------------ | ------------- |
+| 0.1.x          | >=2026.4.10      | `latest`     | Active / Beta |
+
+## Prerequisites
+
+- Node.js **>= 22**
+- [OpenClaw](https://docs.openclaw.ai/install) must be installed (`openclaw` CLI available).
+- A Zalo account on a mobile device to scan the login QR code.
+
+## Install with onboard (recommended)
+
+Run the OpenClaw onboarding wizard and pick **Zalo ClawBot** from the channel menu:
+
+```bash
+openclaw onboard
+```
+
+The wizard installs the plugin from the official catalog (integrity-verified), renders the login QR right in the terminal, and finishes the channel once you scan it with the Zalo app. No extra commands are needed.
+
+## Manual Installation
+
+To add the channel to an already-onboarded gateway, follow these steps:
+
+### 1. Install the plugin
+
+```bash
+openclaw plugins install "@zalo-platforms/openclaw-zaloclawbot@0.1.4"
+```
+
+Use the exact pinned version shown above (it matches the official catalog entry), so OpenClaw verifies the package against the catalog integrity hash during install.
+
+### 2. Enable the plugin in config
+
+```bash
+openclaw config set plugins.entries.openclaw-zaloclawbot.enabled true
+```
+
+### 3. Generate QR code and log in
+
+```bash
+openclaw channels login --channel openclaw-zaloclawbot
+```
+
+Scan the terminal-rendered QR code using the Zalo mobile app, accept the Terms of Use inside the Zalo Mini App, and authorize the session.
+
+### 4. Restart the gateway
+
+```bash
+openclaw gateway restart
+```
+
+---
+
+## How It Works
+
+Unlike the standard developer Zalo channel which requires you to register your own Zalo Official Account (OA) and paste static developer credentials, Zalo ClawBot operates as an **owner-bound personal assistant** using a shared, official infrastructure:
+
+1. **Secure Onboarding:** The QR code resolves to a secure Zalo Mini App that binds a newly-provisioned, private bot under a shared official OA directly to your Zalo User ID.
+2. **Owner-Bound Privacy:** By design, the bot is restricted to communicating _only_ with its owner. Messages from other users are dropped at the platform level, making the connection private and secure.
+3. **Official API path:** The plugin uses Zalo Bot Platform APIs instead of
+   browser or web-session automation.
+
+## Under the Hood
+
+The Zalo ClawBot plugin communicates with Zalo APIs via a persistent long-polling message loop. To maintain a clean and lightweight runtime:
+
+- Long-poll connections utilize the `getUpdates` endpoint.
+- Webhooks are disabled by default for local desktop/terminal gateway runs.
+- Messages are processed client-side and mapped directly to your local agent runtime.
+
+The external plugin manages bot credentials under the OpenClaw state directory.
+Treat that directory as sensitive and include it in the same access-control and
+backup policy as the rest of your OpenClaw state.
+
+---
+
+## Troubleshooting
+
+- **QR Login Timeout:** The login token (`zbsk`) expires after 5 minutes for security reasons. If the QR code expires before you scan it, simply rerun the login command to generate a new one.
+- **Gateway Fails to Load:** Ensure your OpenClaw host version is `2026.4.10` or higher. Older versions do not support the external npm-plugin installation ledger.
