Merge branch 'main' into codex/plugin-command-scope-auth

Catch dynamic gateway-scope resolver failures in the dispatcher, narrow
forwarded gateway scope strings with an explicit operator-scope guard, add
regression coverage for admin bypass and resolver-throw behavior, and
refresh bundled plugin metadata after main-branch drift.

Regeneration-Prompt: |
  Follow up on review feedback for the centralized plugin command auth
  change. Keep the scope tightly limited to the three review items:
  catch exceptions from `resolveRequiredGatewayScopes`, replace the raw
  `GatewayClientScopes` cast with explicit operator-scope narrowing, and
  add dispatcher-level tests for the `operator.admin` bypass plus the safe
  failure path when dynamic scope resolution throws.

  While landing that patch, the repo hook may report stale bundled plugin
  metadata generated files because main advanced. Regenerate those standard
  outputs with the repo generator so the branch is consistent enough to
  rebase, but do not chase unrelated CI or Discord test failures here.

 - The macOS smoke should include a dashboard load phase after gateway health: resolve the tokenized URL with `openclaw dashboard --no-open`, verify the served HTML contains the Control UI title/root shell, then open Safari and require an established localhost TCP connection from Safari to the gateway port.
 - `prlctl exec` is fine for deterministic repo commands, but use the guest Terminal or `prlctl enter` when installer parity or shell-sensitive behavior matters.
 - Multi-word `openclaw agent --message ...` checks should go through a guest shell wrapper (`guest_current_user_sh` / `guest_current_user_cli` or `/bin/sh -lc ...`), not raw `prlctl exec ... node openclaw.mjs ...`, or the message can be split into extra argv tokens and Commander reports `too many arguments for 'agent'`.
-- When ref-mode onboarding stores `OPENAI_API_KEY` as an env secret ref, the post-onboard agent verification should also export `OPENAI_API_KEY` for the guest command. The gateway can still reject with pairing-required and fall back to embedded execution, and that fallback needs the env-backed credential available in the shell.
 - On the fresh Tahoe snapshot, `brew` exists but `node` may be missing from PATH in noninteractive exec. Use `/opt/homebrew/bin/node` when needed.
 - Fresh host-served tgz installs should install as guest root with `HOME=/var/root`, then run onboarding as the desktop user via `prlctl exec --current-user`.
 - Root-installed tgz smoke can log plugin blocks for world-writable `extensions/*`; do not treat that as an onboarding or gateway failure unless plugin loading is the task.

 - Multi-word `openclaw agent --message ...` checks should call `& $openclaw ...` inside PowerShell, not `Start-Process ... -ArgumentList` against `openclaw.cmd`, or Commander can see split argv and throw `too many arguments for 'agent'`.
 - Windows installer/tgz phases now retry once after guest-ready recheck; keep new Windows smoke steps idempotent so a transport-flake retry is safe.
 - Windows global `npm install -g` phases can stay quiet for a minute or more even when healthy; inspect the phase log before calling it hung, and only treat it as a regression once the retry wrapper or timeout trips.
-- Fresh Windows ref-mode onboard should use the same background PowerShell runner plus done-file/log-drain pattern as the npm-update helper, including startup materialization checks, host-side timeouts on short poll `prlctl exec` calls, and retry-on-poll-failure behavior for transient transport flakes.
-- Fresh Windows ref-mode agent verification should set `OPENAI_API_KEY` in the PowerShell environment before invoking `openclaw.cmd agent`, for the same pairing-required fallback reason as macOS.
-- The Windows upgrade smoke lane should restart the managed gateway after `upgrade.install-main` and before `upgrade.onboard-ref`, or the old process can keep the previous gateway token and fail `gateway-health` with `unauthorized: gateway token mismatch`.
 - Keep onboarding and status output ASCII-clean in logs; fancy punctuation becomes mojibake in current capture paths.
 - If you hit an older run with `rc=255` plus an empty `fresh.install-main.log` or `upgrade.install-main.log`, treat it as a likely `prlctl exec` transport drop after guest start-up, not immediate proof of an npm/package failure.

 - When adding channels/extensions/apps/docs, update `.github/labeler.yml` and create matching GitHub labels (use existing channel/extension label colors).
 
-## Architecture Boundaries
-
-- Start here for the repo map:
-  - `extensions/*` = bundled plugins and the closest example surface for third-party plugins
-  - `src/plugin-sdk/*` = the public plugin contract that extensions are allowed to import
-  - `src/channels/*` = core channel implementation details behind the plugin/channel boundary
-  - `src/plugins/*` = plugin discovery, manifest validation, loader, registry, and contract enforcement
-  - `src/gateway/protocol/*` = typed Gateway control-plane and node wire protocol
-- Progressive disclosure lives in local boundary guides:
-  - `extensions/AGENTS.md`
-  - `src/plugin-sdk/AGENTS.md`
-  - `src/channels/AGENTS.md`
-  - `src/plugins/AGENTS.md`
-  - `src/gateway/protocol/AGENTS.md`
-- Plugin and extension boundary:
-  - Public docs: `docs/plugins/building-plugins.md`, `docs/plugins/architecture.md`, `docs/plugins/sdk-overview.md`, `docs/plugins/sdk-entrypoints.md`, `docs/plugins/sdk-runtime.md`, `docs/plugins/manifest.md`, `docs/plugins/sdk-channel-plugins.md`, `docs/plugins/sdk-provider-plugins.md`
-  - Definition files: `src/plugin-sdk/plugin-entry.ts`, `src/plugin-sdk/core.ts`, `src/plugin-sdk/provider-entry.ts`, `src/plugin-sdk/channel-contract.ts`, `scripts/lib/plugin-sdk-entrypoints.json`, `package.json`
-  - Rule: extensions must cross into core only through `openclaw/plugin-sdk/*`, manifest metadata, and documented runtime helpers. Do not import `src/**` from extension production code.
-  - Rule: core code and tests must not deep-import bundled plugin internals such as `extensions/<id>/src/**` or `extensions/<id>/onboard.js`. If core needs a bundled plugin helper, expose it through `extensions/<id>/api.ts` and, when it is a real cross-package contract, through `src/plugin-sdk/<id>.ts`.
-  - Compatibility: new plugin seams are allowed, but they must be added as documented, backwards-compatible, versioned contracts. We have third-party plugins in the wild and do not break them casually.
-- Channel boundary:
-  - Public docs: `docs/plugins/sdk-channel-plugins.md`, `docs/plugins/architecture.md`
-  - Definition files: `src/channels/plugins/types.plugin.ts`, `src/channels/plugins/types.core.ts`, `src/channels/plugins/types.adapters.ts`, `src/plugin-sdk/core.ts`, `src/plugin-sdk/channel-contract.ts`
-  - Rule: `src/channels/**` is core implementation. If plugin authors need a new seam, add it to the Plugin SDK instead of telling them to import channel internals.
-- Provider/model boundary:
-  - Public docs: `docs/plugins/sdk-provider-plugins.md`, `docs/concepts/model-providers.md`, `docs/plugins/architecture.md`
-  - Definition files: `src/plugins/types.ts`, `src/plugin-sdk/provider-entry.ts`, `src/plugin-sdk/provider-auth.ts`, `src/plugin-sdk/provider-catalog-shared.ts`, `src/plugin-sdk/provider-model-shared.ts`
-  - Rule: core owns the generic inference loop; provider plugins own provider-specific behavior through registration and typed hooks. Do not solve provider needs by reaching into unrelated core internals.
-  - Rule: avoid ad hoc reads of `plugins.entries.<id>.config` from unrelated core code. If core needs plugin-owned auth/config behavior, add or use a generic seam (`resolveSyntheticAuth`, public SDK/helper facades, manifest metadata, plugin auto-enable hooks) and honor plugin disablement plus SecretRef semantics.
-  - Rule: vendor-owned tools and settings belong in the owning plugin. Do not add provider-specific tool config, secret collection, or runtime enablement to core `tools.*` surfaces unless the tool is intentionally core-owned.

 - Lint/format: `pnpm check`
 - Format check: `pnpm format` (oxfmt --check)
 - Format fix: `pnpm format:fix` (oxfmt --write)
-- Terminology:
-  - "gate" means a verification command or command set that must be green for the decision you are making.
-  - A local dev gate is the fast default loop, usually `pnpm check` plus any scoped test you actually need.
-  - A landing gate is the broader bar before pushing `main`, usually `pnpm check`, `pnpm test`, and `pnpm build` when the touched surface can affect build output, packaging, lazy-loading/module boundaries, or published surfaces.
-  - A CI gate is whatever the relevant workflow enforces for that lane (for example `check`, `check-additional`, `build-smoke`, or release validation).
-- Local dev gate: prefer `pnpm check` for the normal edit loop. It keeps the repo-architecture policy guards out of the default local loop.
-- CI architecture gate: `check-additional` enforces architecture and boundary policy guards that are intentionally kept out of the default local loop.
-- Formatting gate: the pre-commit hook runs `pnpm format` before `pnpm check`. If you want a formatting-only preflight locally, run `pnpm format` explicitly.
-- If you need a fast commit loop, `FAST_COMMIT=1 git commit ...` skips the hook’s repo-wide `pnpm format` and `pnpm check`; use that only when you are deliberately covering the touched surface some other way.
 - Tests: `pnpm test` (vitest); coverage: `pnpm test:coverage`
 - Generated baseline artifacts live together under `docs/.generated/`.
 - Config schema drift uses `pnpm config:docs:gen` / `pnpm config:docs:check`.
 - Plugin SDK API drift uses `pnpm plugin-sdk:api:gen` / `pnpm plugin-sdk:api:check`.
 - If you change config schema/help or the public Plugin SDK surface, update the matching baseline artifact and keep the two drift-check flows adjacent in scripts/workflows/docs guidance rather than inventing a third pattern.
 - For narrowly scoped changes, prefer narrowly scoped tests that directly validate the touched behavior. If no meaningful scoped test exists, say so explicitly and use the next most direct validation available.
-- Verification modes for work on `main`:
-  - Default mode: `main` is relatively stable. Count pre-commit hook coverage when it already verified the current tree, avoid rerunning the exact same checks just for ceremony, and prefer keeping CI/main green before landing.
-  - Fast-commit mode: `main` is moving fast and you intentionally optimize for shorter commit loops. Prefer explicit local verification close to the final landing point, and it is acceptable to use `--no-verify` for intermediate or catch-up commits after equivalent checks have already run locally.
-- Preferred landing bar for pushes to `main`: in Default mode, favor `pnpm check` and `pnpm test` near the final rebase/push point when feasible. In fast-commit mode, verify the touched surface locally near landing without insisting every intermediate commit replay the full hook.
+- Preferred landing bar for pushes to `main`: `pnpm check` and `pnpm test`, with a green result when feasible.
 - Scoped tests prove the change itself. `pnpm test` remains the default `main` landing bar; scoped tests do not replace full-suite gates by default.
 - Hard gate: if the change can affect build output, packaging, lazy-loading/module boundaries, or published surfaces, `pnpm build` MUST be run and MUST pass before pushing `main`.
-- Default rule: do not land changes with failing format, lint, type, build, or required test checks when those failures are caused by the change or plausibly related to the touched surface. Fast-commit mode changes how verification is sequenced; it does not lower the requirement to validate and clean up the touched surface before final landing.
+- Default rule: do not commit or push with failing format, lint, type, build, or required test checks when those failures are caused by the change or plausibly related to the touched surface.
 - For narrowly scoped changes, if unrelated failures already exist on latest `origin/main`, state that clearly, report the scoped tests you ran, and ask before broadening scope into unrelated fixes or landing despite those failures.

-- macOS/local gateway: stop OpenClaw.app from killing healthy local gateway listeners after startup by recognizing the current `openclaw-gateway` process title and using the current `openclaw gateway` launch shape.
-- Memory/QMD: resolve slugified `memory_search` file hints back to the indexed filesystem path before returning search hits, so `memory_get` works again for mixed-case and spaced paths. (#50313) Thanks @erra9x.
-- Memory/QMD: weight CJK-heavy text correctly when estimating chunk sizes, preserve surrogate-pair characters during fine splits, and keep long Latin lines on the old chunk boundaries so memory indexing produces better-sized chunks for CJK notes. (#40271) Thanks @AaronLuo00.
-- Security/LINE: make webhook signature validation run the timing-safe compare even when the supplied signature length is wrong, closing a small timing side-channel. (#55663) Thanks @gavyngong.
-- LINE/status: stop `openclaw status` from warning about missing credentials when sanitized LINE snapshots are already configured, while still surfacing whether the missing field is the token or secret. (#45701) Thanks @tamaosamu.

 ### Breaking
 
 - Providers/Qwen: remove the deprecated `qwen-portal-auth` OAuth integration for `portal.qwen.ai`; migrate to Model Studio with `openclaw onboard --auth-choice modelstudio-api-key`. (#52709) Thanks @pomelo-nwu.
-- Config/Doctor: drop automatic config migrations older than two months; very old legacy keys now fail validation instead of being rewritten on load or by `openclaw doctor`.
 
 ### Changes
 
-- xAI/tools: move the bundled xAI provider to the Responses API, add first-class `x_search`, and auto-enable the xAI plugin from owned web-search and tool config so bundled Grok auth/configured search flows work without manual plugin toggles. (#56048) Thanks @huntharo.
-- xAI/onboarding: let the bundled Grok web-search plugin offer optional `x_search` setup during `openclaw onboard` and `openclaw configure --section web`, including an x_search model picker with the shared xAI key.
 - MiniMax: add image generation provider for `image-01` model, supporting generate and image-to-image editing with aspect ratio control. (#54487) Thanks @liyuan97.
-- Plugins/hooks: add async `requireApproval` to `before_tool_call` hooks, letting plugins pause tool execution and prompt the user for approval via the exec approval overlay, Telegram buttons, Discord interactions, or the `/approve` command on any channel. The `/approve` command now handles both exec and plugin approvals with automatic fallback. (#55339) Thanks @vaclavbelak and @joshavant.
-- ACP/channels: add current-conversation ACP binds for Discord, BlueBubbles, and iMessage so `/acp spawn codex --bind here` can turn the current chat into a Codex-backed workspace without creating a child thread, and document the distinction between chat surface, ACP session, and runtime workspace.
-- OpenAI/apply_patch: enable `apply_patch` by default for OpenAI and OpenAI Codex models, and align its sandbox policy access with `write` permissions.
-- Plugins/CLI backends: move bundled Claude CLI, Codex CLI, and Gemini CLI inference defaults onto the plugin surface, add bundled Gemini CLI backend support, and replace `gateway run --claude-cli-logs` with generic `--cli-backend-logs` while keeping the old flag as a compatibility alias.
-- Plugins/startup: auto-load bundled provider and CLI-backend plugins from explicit config refs, so bundled Claude CLI, Codex CLI, and Gemini CLI message-provider setups no longer need manual `plugins.allow` entries.
-- Podman: simplify the container setup around the current rootless user, install the launch helper under `~/.local/bin`, and document the host-CLI `openclaw --container <name> ...` workflow instead of a dedicated `openclaw` service user.
 - Slack/tool actions: add an explicit `upload-file` Slack action that routes file uploads through the existing Slack upload transport, with optional filename/title/comment overrides for channels and DMs.
-- Message actions/files: start unifying file-first sends on the canonical `upload-file` action by adding explicit support for Microsoft Teams and Google Chat, and by exposing BlueBubbles file sends through `upload-file` while keeping the legacy `sendAttachment` alias.
 - Plugins/Matrix TTS: send auto-TTS replies as native Matrix voice bubbles instead of generic audio attachments. (#37080) thanks @Matthew19990919.
-- CLI: add `openclaw config schema` to print the generated JSON schema for `openclaw.json`. (#54523) Thanks @kvokka.

-- Onboarding/TUI/local gateways: show the resolved gateway port in setup output, clarify no-daemon local health/dashboard messaging, and preserve loopback Control UI auth on reruns and explicit local gateway URLs so local quickstart flows recover cleanly. (#55730) Thanks @shakkernerd.
-- TUI/chat log: keep system messages as single logical entries and prune overflow at whole-message boundaries so wrapped system spacing stays intact. (#55732) Thanks @shakkernerd.
-- TUI/activation: validate `/activation` arguments in the TUI and reject invalid values instead of silently coercing them to `mention`. (#55733) Thanks @shakkernerd.
-- Agents/model switching: apply `/model` changes to active embedded runs at the next safe retry boundary, so overloaded or retrying turns switch to the newly selected model instead of staying pinned to the old provider.
-- Agents/Codex fallback: classify Codex `server_error` payloads as failoverable, sanitize `Codex error:` payloads before they reach chat, preserve context-overflow guidance for prefixed `invalid_request_error` payloads, and omit provider `request_id` values from user-facing UI copy. (#42892) Thanks @xaeon2026.
-- Memory/search: share memory embedding provider registrations across split plugin runtimes so memory search no longer fails with unknown provider errors after memory-core registers built-in adapters. (#55945) Thanks @glitch418x.
-- Discord/Carbon beta: update `@buape/carbon` to the latest beta and pass the new `RateLimitError` request argument so Discord stays compatible with the upstream beta constructor change. (#55980) Thanks @ngutman.
-- Plugins/inbound claims: pass full inbound attachment arrays through `inbound_claim` hook metadata while keeping the legacy singular media attachment fields for compatibility. (#55452) Thanks @huntharo.
-- Plugins/Matrix: preserve sender filenames for inbound media by forwarding `originalFilename` to `saveMediaBuffer`. (#55692) thanks @esrehmki.
-- Matrix/mentions: recognize `matrix.to` mentions whose visible label uses the bot's room display name, so `requireMention: true` rooms respond correctly in modern Matrix clients. (#55393) thanks @nickludlam.
-- Ollama/thinking off: route `thinkingLevel=off` through the live Ollama extension request path so thinking-capable Ollama models now receive top-level `think: false` instead of silently generating hidden reasoning tokens. (#53200) Thanks @BruceMacD.
-- Plugins/diffs: stage bundled `@pierre/diffs` runtime dependencies during packaged updates so the bundled diff viewer keeps loading after global installs and updates. (#56077) Thanks @gumadeiras.
-- Plugins/diffs: load bundled Pierre themes without JSON module imports so diff rendering keeps working on newer Node builds. (#45869) thanks @NickHood1984.
-- Plugins/uninstall: remove owned `channels.<id>` config when uninstalling channel plugins, and keep the uninstall preview aligned with explicit channel ownership so built-in channels and shared keys stay intact. (#35915) Thanks @wbxl2000.
-- Plugins/Matrix: prefer explicit DM signals when choosing outbound direct rooms and routing unmapped verification summaries, so strict 2-person fallback rooms do not outrank the real DM. (#56076) thanks @gumadeiras
-- Plugins/Matrix: resolve env-backed `accessToken` and `password` SecretRefs against the active Matrix config env path during startup, and officially accept SecretRef `accessToken` config values. (#54980) thanks @kakahu2015.
-- Microsoft Teams/proactive DMs: prefer the freshest personal conversation reference for `user:<aadObjectId>` sends when multiple stored references exist, so replies stop targeting stale DM threads. (#54702) Thanks @gumclaw.
-- Gateway/plugins: reuse the session workspace when building HTTP `/tools/invoke` tool lists and harden tool construction to infer the session agent workspace by default, so workspace plugins do not re-register on repeated HTTP tool calls. (#56101) thanks @neeravmakwana
-- Brave/web search: normalize unsupported Brave `country` filters to `ALL` before request and cache-key generation so locale-derived values like `VN` stop failing with upstream 422 validation errors. (#55695) Thanks @chen-zhang-cs-code.
-- Discord/replies: preserve leading indentation when stripping inline reply tags so reply-tagged plain text and fenced code blocks keep their formatting. (#55960) Thanks @Nanako0129.
-- Daemon/status: surface immediate gateway close reasons from lightweight probes and prefer those concrete auth or pairing failures over generic timeouts in `openclaw daemon status`. (#56282) Thanks @mbelinky.
-- Agents/failover: classify HTTP 410 errors as retryable timeouts by default while still preserving explicit session-expired, billing, and auth signals from the payload. (#55201) thanks @nikus-pan.
-- Agents/subagents: restore completion announce delivery for extension channels like BlueBubbles. (#56348)
-- Plugins/Matrix: load bundled `@matrix-org/matrix-sdk-crypto-nodejs` through `createRequire(...)` so E2EE media send and receive keep the package-local native binding lookup working in packaged ESM builds. (#54566) thanks @joelnishanth.
-- Plugins/Matrix: encrypt E2EE image thumbnails with `thumbnail_file` while keeping unencrypted-room previews on `thumbnail_url`, so encrypted Matrix image events keep thumbnail metadata without leaking plaintext previews. (#54711) thanks @frischeDaten.
-- Telegram/forum topics: keep native `/new` and `/reset` routed to the active topic by preserving the topic target on forum-thread command context. (#35963)

 - Telegram/photos: preflight Telegram photo dimension and aspect-ratio rules, and fall back to document sends when image metadata is invalid or unavailable so photo uploads stop failing with `PHOTO_INVALID_DIMENSIONS`. (#52545) Thanks @hnshah.
 - Slack/runtime defaults: trim Slack DM reply overhead, restore Codex auto transport, and tighten Slack/web-search runtime defaults around DM preview threading, cache scoping, warning dedupe, and explicit web-search opt-in. (#53957) Thanks @vincentkoc.
-- Security/gateway config: block agent `config.apply` and `config.patch` writes to `tools.exec.ask` and `tools.exec.security` so gateway config tools cannot silently disable exec approvals or broaden exec security.
-- Security/chat provenance: require `operator.admin` for system provenance injection so `chat.send` callers cannot spoof ACP-only provenance through client identity metadata.
-- Security/exec approvals: treat `/usr/bin/script` as a transparent wrapper during trust-plan resolution and allow-always persistence so wrapper registration cannot broaden exec approvals.
-- Security/Feishu uploads: route local doc and image upload inputs through media local-roots enforcement so Feishu uploads cannot read arbitrary host files outside the allowed sandbox and file policy.
-- Security/dotenv: filter untrusted CWD and workspace-config `.env` entries before startup and config loading so dotenv-based host-env takeover paths can no longer rewrite runtime state or package registries.
-- Security/media parsing: reject traversal and home-directory patterns in the shared media parse layer so parsed media paths cannot escape into arbitrary file reads.
-- Security/path resolution: prefer non-user-writable absolute helper binaries for OpenClaw CLI, ffmpeg, and OpenSSL resolution so PATH hijacks cannot replace trusted helpers with attacker-controlled executables.
-- Security/gateway command scopes: require `operator.admin` before Telegram target writeback and Talk Voice `/voice set` config writes persist through gateway message flows.
-- Security/OpenShell mirror: exclude workspace `hooks/` from mirror sync so untrusted sandbox files cannot become trusted host hooks on gateway startup.

 - Discord/commands: trim overlong slash-command descriptions to Discord's 100-character limit and map rejected deploy indexes from Discord validation payloads back to command names/descriptions, so deploys stop failing on long descriptions and startup logs identify the rejected commands. (#54118) thanks @huntharo
-- Media/store: enforce the intended media file mode after writes and redirect downloads so restrictive umasks do not silently narrow saved media permissions.
-- Security/gateway auth: enforce `operator.read` and `models.list` on `/v1/models` so write-scoped callers cannot list models through the OpenAI-compatible HTTP surface.
-- Security/allowlist commands: require `operator.admin` for internal `/allowlist` mutations and channel allowlist persistence reached through `chat.send`.
-- Security/Feishu webhook: cap pre-auth webhook body reads with strict size and timeout guards before JSON parsing so slow-body requests cannot hold the webhook handler open.
-- Security/session policy: require sender ownership for `/send` policy changes so command-authorized non-owners cannot rewrite owner-only session delivery policy.
-- Security/bash stop: route `/bash stop` through the hardened process-tree killer so invalid or attacker-influenced SIGKILL targets cannot escape the intended bash-session scope.

 ### Plugin Hook Events
 
-#### before_tool_call
-
-Runs before each tool call. Plugins can modify parameters, block the call, or request user approval.
-
-Return fields:
-
-- **`params`**: Override tool parameters (merged with original params)
-- **`block`**: Set to `true` to block the tool call
-- **`blockReason`**: Reason shown to the agent when blocked
-- **`requireApproval`**: Pause execution and wait for user approval via channels
-
-The `requireApproval` field triggers native platform approval (Telegram buttons, Discord components, `/approve` command) instead of relying on the agent to cooperate:
-
-```typescript
-{
-  requireApproval: {
-    title: "Sensitive operation",
-    description: "This tool call modifies production data",
-    severity: "warning",       // "info" | "warning" | "critical"
-    timeoutMs: 120000,         // default: 120s
-    timeoutBehavior: "deny",   // "allow" | "deny" (default)
-    onResolution: async (decision) => {
-      // Called after the user resolves: "allow-once", "allow-always", "deny", "timeout", or "cancelled"
-    },
-  }
-}
-```
-
-The `onResolution` callback is invoked with the final decision string after the approval resolves, times out, or is cancelled. It runs in-process within the plugin (not sent to the gateway). Use it to persist decisions, update caches, or perform cleanup.
-
-The `pluginId` field is stamped automatically by the hook runner from the plugin registration. When multiple plugins return `requireApproval`, the first one (highest priority) wins.
-
-`block` takes precedence over `requireApproval`: if the merged hook result has both `block: true` and a `requireApproval` field, the tool call is blocked immediately without triggering the approval flow. This ensures a higher-priority plugin's block cannot be overridden by a lower-priority plugin's approval request.
-
-If the gateway is unavailable or does not support plugin approvals, the tool call falls back to a soft block using the `description` as the block reason.
-
-#### Compaction lifecycle
-
 Compaction lifecycle hooks exposed through the plugin hook runner:
 
 - **`before_compaction`**: Runs before compaction with count/token metadata

-read_when:
-  - Connecting Codex, Claude Code, or another MCP client to OpenClaw-backed channels
-  - Running `openclaw mcp serve`
-  - Managing OpenClaw-saved MCP server definitions
-title: "mcp"
----
-
-# mcp
-
-`openclaw mcp` has two jobs:
-
-- run OpenClaw as an MCP server with `openclaw mcp serve`
-- manage OpenClaw-owned outbound MCP server definitions with `list`, `show`,
-  `set`, and `unset`
-
-In other words:
-
-- `serve` is OpenClaw acting as an MCP server
-- `list` / `show` / `set` / `unset` is OpenClaw acting as an MCP client-side
-  registry for other MCP servers its runtimes may consume later
-
-Use [`openclaw acp`](/cli/acp) when OpenClaw should host a coding harness
-session itself and route that runtime through ACP.
-
-## OpenClaw as an MCP server
-
-This is the `openclaw mcp serve` path.
-
-## When to use `serve`
-
-Use `openclaw mcp serve` when:
-
-- Codex, Claude Code, or another MCP client should talk directly to
-  OpenClaw-backed channel conversations
-- you already have a local or remote OpenClaw Gateway with routed sessions
-- you want one MCP server that works across OpenClaw's channel backends instead
-  of running separate per-channel bridges
-
-Use [`openclaw acp`](/cli/acp) instead when OpenClaw should host the coding
-runtime itself and keep the agent session inside OpenClaw.
-
-## How it works
-
-`openclaw mcp serve` starts a stdio MCP server. The MCP client owns that
-process. While the client keeps the stdio session open, the bridge connects to a
-local or remote OpenClaw Gateway over WebSocket and exposes routed channel
-conversations over MCP.
-
-Lifecycle:
-
-1. the MCP client spawns `openclaw mcp serve`
-2. the bridge connects to Gateway
-3. routed sessions become MCP conversations and transcript/history tools
-4. live events are queued in memory while the bridge is connected
-5. if Claude channel mode is enabled, the same session can also receive
-   Claude-specific push notifications
-
-Important behavior:
-
-- live queue state starts when the bridge connects
-- older transcript history is read with `messages_read`
-- Claude push notifications only exist while the MCP session is alive
-- when the client disconnects, the bridge exits and the live queue is gone
-
-## Choose a client mode
-
-Use the same bridge in two different ways:
-
-- Generic MCP clients: standard MCP tools only. Use `conversations_list`,
-  `messages_read`, `events_poll`, `events_wait`, `messages_send`, and the
-  approval tools.
-- Claude Code: standard MCP tools plus the Claude-specific channel adapter.
-  Enable `--claude-channel-mode on` or leave the default `auto`.
-
-Today, `auto` behaves the same as `on`. There is no client capability detection
-yet.
-
-## What `serve` exposes
-
-The bridge uses existing Gateway session route metadata to expose channel-backed
-conversations. A conversation appears when OpenClaw already has session state
-with a known route such as:
-
-- `channel`
-- recipient or destination metadata
-- optional `accountId`
-- optional `threadId`
-
-This gives MCP clients one place to:
-
-- list recent routed conversations
-- read recent transcript history
-- wait for new inbound events
-- send a reply back through the same route
-- see approval requests that arrive while the bridge is connected
-
-## Usage
-
-```bash
-# Local Gateway
-openclaw mcp serve
-
-# Remote Gateway
-openclaw mcp serve --url wss://gateway-host:18789 --token-file ~/.openclaw/gateway.token
-
-# Remote Gateway with password auth
-openclaw mcp serve --url wss://gateway-host:18789 --password-file ~/.openclaw/gateway.password
-
-# Enable verbose bridge logs
-openclaw mcp serve --verbose
-
-# Disable Claude-specific push notifications
-openclaw mcp serve --claude-channel-mode off
-```
-
-## Bridge tools
-
-The current bridge exposes these MCP tools:
-
-- `conversations_list`
-- `conversation_get`
-- `messages_read`
-- `attachments_fetch`
-- `events_poll`
-- `events_wait`
-- `messages_send`
-- `permissions_list_open`
-- `permissions_respond`
-
-### `conversations_list`
-
-Lists recent session-backed conversations that already have route metadata in
-Gateway session state.
-
-Useful filters:
-
-- `limit`
-- `search`
-- `channel`
-- `includeDerivedTitles`
-- `includeLastMessage`
-
-### `conversation_get`
-
-Returns one conversation by `session_key`.
-
-### `messages_read`
-
-Reads recent transcript messages for one session-backed conversation.
-
-### `attachments_fetch`
-
-Extracts non-text message content blocks from one transcript message. This is a
-metadata view over transcript content, not a standalone durable attachment blob
-store.
-
-### `events_poll`
-
-Reads queued live events since a numeric cursor.
-
-### `events_wait`
-
-Long-polls until the next matching queued event arrives or a timeout expires.
-
-Use this when a generic MCP client needs near-real-time delivery without a
-Claude-specific push protocol.
-
-### `messages_send`
-
-Sends text back through the same route already recorded on the session.
-
-Current behavior:
-
-- requires an existing conversation route
-- uses the session's channel, recipient, account id, and thread id
-- sends text only
-
-### `permissions_list_open`
-
-Lists pending exec/plugin approval requests the bridge has observed since it
-connected to the Gateway.
-
-### `permissions_respond`
-
-Resolves one pending exec/plugin approval request with:
-
-- `allow-once`
-- `allow-always`
-- `deny`
-
-## Event model
-
-The bridge keeps an in-memory event queue while it is connected.
-
-Current event types:
-
-- `message`
-- `exec_approval_requested`
-- `exec_approval_resolved`
-- `plugin_approval_requested`
-- `plugin_approval_resolved`
-- `claude_permission_request`
-
-Important limits:
-
-- the queue is live-only; it starts when the MCP bridge starts
-- `events_poll` and `events_wait` do not replay older Gateway history by
-  themselves
-- durable backlog should be read with `messages_read`
-
-## Claude channel notifications
-
-The bridge can also expose Claude-specific channel notifications. This is the
-OpenClaw equivalent of a Claude Code channel adapter: standard MCP tools remain
-available, but live inbound messages can also arrive as Claude-specific MCP
-notifications.
-
-Flags:
-
-- `--claude-channel-mode off`: standard MCP tools only
-- `--claude-channel-mode on`: enable Claude channel notifications
-- `--claude-channel-mode auto`: current default; same bridge behavior as `on`
-
-When Claude channel mode is enabled, the server advertises Claude experimental
-capabilities and can emit:
-
-- `notifications/claude/channel`
-- `notifications/claude/channel/permission`
-
-Current bridge behavior:
-
-- inbound `user` transcript messages are forwarded as
-  `notifications/claude/channel`
-- Claude permission requests received over MCP are tracked in-memory
-- if the linked conversation later sends `yes abcde` or `no abcde`, the bridge
-  converts that to `notifications/claude/channel/permission`
-- these notifications are live-session only; if the MCP client disconnects,
-  there is no push target
-
-This is intentionally client-specific. Generic MCP clients should rely on the
-standard polling tools.
-
-## MCP client config
-
-Example stdio client config:
-
-```json
-{
-  "mcpServers": {
-    "openclaw": {
-      "command": "openclaw",
-      "args": [
-        "mcp",
-        "serve",
-        "--url",
-        "wss://gateway-host:18789",
-        "--token-file",
-        "/path/to/gateway.token"
-      ]
-    }
-  }
-}
-```
-
-For most generic MCP clients, start with the standard tool surface and ignore
-Claude mode. Turn Claude mode on only for clients that actually understand the
-Claude-specific notification methods.
-
-## Options
-
-`openclaw mcp serve` supports:
-
-- `--url <url>`: Gateway WebSocket URL
-- `--token <token>`: Gateway token
-- `--token-file <path>`: read token from file
-- `--password <password>`: Gateway password
-- `--password-file <path>`: read password from file
-- `--claude-channel-mode <auto|on|off>`: Claude notification mode
-- `-v`, `--verbose`: verbose logs on stderr
-
-Prefer `--token-file` or `--password-file` over inline secrets when possible.
-
-## Security and trust boundary
-
-The bridge does not invent routing. It only exposes conversations that Gateway
-already knows how to route.
-
-That means:
-
-- sender allowlists, pairing, and channel-level trust still belong to the
-  underlying OpenClaw channel configuration
-- `messages_send` can only reply through an existing stored route
-- approval state is live/in-memory only for the current bridge session
-- bridge auth should use the same Gateway token or password controls you would
-  trust for any other remote Gateway client
-
-If a conversation is missing from `conversations_list`, the usual cause is not
-MCP configuration. It is missing or incomplete route metadata in the underlying
-Gateway session.
-
-## Testing
-
-OpenClaw ships a deterministic Docker smoke for this bridge:
-
-```bash
-pnpm test:docker:mcp-channels
-```
-
-That smoke:
-
-- starts a seeded Gateway container
-- starts a second container that spawns `openclaw mcp serve`
-- verifies conversation discovery, transcript reads, attachment metadata reads,
-  live event queue behavior, and outbound send routing
-- validates Claude-style channel and permission notifications over the real
-  stdio MCP bridge
-
-This is the fastest way to prove the bridge works without wiring a real
-Telegram, Discord, or iMessage account into the test run.
-
-For broader testing context, see [Testing](/help/testing).
-
-## Troubleshooting
-
-### No conversations returned
-
-Usually means the Gateway session is not already routable. Confirm that the
-underlying session has stored channel/provider, recipient, and optional
-account/thread route metadata.
-
-### `events_poll` or `events_wait` misses older messages
-
-Expected. The live queue starts when the bridge connects. Read older transcript
-history with `messages_read`.
-
-### Claude notifications do not show up
-
-Check all of these:
-
-- the client kept the stdio MCP session open
-- `--claude-channel-mode` is `on` or `auto`
-- the client actually understands the Claude-specific notification methods
-- the inbound message happened after the bridge connected
-
-### Approvals are missing
-
-`permissions_list_open` only shows approval requests observed while the bridge
-was connected. It is not a durable approval history API.
-
-## OpenClaw as an MCP client registry
-
-This is the `openclaw mcp list`, `show`, `set`, and `unset` path.
-
-These commands do not expose OpenClaw over MCP. They manage OpenClaw-owned MCP
-server definitions under `mcp.servers` in OpenClaw config.
-
-Those saved definitions are for runtimes that OpenClaw launches or configures
-later, such as embedded Pi and other runtime adapters. OpenClaw stores the
-definitions centrally so those runtimes do not need to keep their own duplicate
-MCP server lists.
-
-Important behavior:
-
-- these commands only read or write OpenClaw config
-- they do not connect to the target MCP server
-- they do not validate whether the command, URL, or remote transport is
-  reachable right now
-- runtime adapters decide which transport shapes they actually support at
-  execution time
-
-## Saved MCP server definitions
-
-OpenClaw also stores a lightweight MCP server registry in config for surfaces
-that want OpenClaw-managed MCP definitions.
-
-Commands:
-
-- `openclaw mcp list`
-- `openclaw mcp show [name]`
-- `openclaw mcp set <name> <json>`
-- `openclaw mcp unset <name>`
-
-Examples:
-
-```bash
-openclaw mcp list
-openclaw mcp show context7 --json
-openclaw mcp set context7 '{"command":"uvx","args":["context7-mcp"]}'
-openclaw mcp set docs '{"url":"https://mcp.example.com"}'
-openclaw mcp unset context7
-```
-
-Example config shape:
-
-```json
-{
-  "mcp": {
-    "servers": {
-      "context7": {
-        "command": "uvx",
-        "args": ["context7-mcp"]
-      },
-      "docs": {
-        "url": "https://mcp.example.com"
-      }
-    }
-  }
-}
-```
-
-Typical fields:
-
-- `command`
-- `args`
-- `env`
-- `cwd` or `workingDirectory`
-- `url`
-
-These commands manage saved config only. They do not start the channel bridge,
-open a live MCP client session, or prove the target server is reachable.
-

-- Podman runs the gateway container.
-- Your host `openclaw` CLI is the control plane.

+Run the OpenClaw Gateway in a **rootless** Podman container. Uses the same image as Docker (built from the repo [Dockerfile](https://github.com/openclaw/openclaw/blob/main/Dockerfile)).
 
 ## Prerequisites
 
-- **Podman** in rootless mode
-- **OpenClaw CLI** installed on the host
-- **Optional:** `systemd --user` if you want Quadlet-managed auto-start
-- **Optional:** `sudo` only if you want `loginctl enable-linger "$(whoami)"` for boot persistence on a headless host
+- **Podman** (rootless mode)
+- **sudo** access for one-time setup (creating the dedicated user and building the image)

 <Steps>

-    From the repo root, run `./scripts/podman/setup.sh`.
+    From the repo root, run the setup script. It creates a dedicated `openclaw` user, builds the container image, and installs the launch script:
+
+    ```bash
+    ./scripts/podman/setup.sh
+    ```
+
+    This also creates a minimal config at `~openclaw/.openclaw/openclaw.json` (sets `gateway.mode` to `"local"`) so the Gateway can start without running the wizard.
+
+    By default the container is **not** installed as a systemd service -- you start it manually in the next step. For a production-style setup with auto-start and restarts, pass `--quadlet` instead:
+
+    ```bash
+    ./scripts/podman/setup.sh --quadlet
+    ```
+
+    (Or set `OPENCLAW_PODMAN_QUADLET=1`. Use `--container` to install only the container and launch script.)
+
+    **Optional build-time env vars** (set before running `scripts/podman/setup.sh`):
+
+    - `OPENCLAW_DOCKER_APT_PACKAGES` -- install extra apt packages during image build.
+    - `OPENCLAW_EXTENSIONS` -- pre-install extension dependencies (space-separated names, e.g. `diagnostics-otel matrix`).

-
-- `./scripts/podman/setup.sh` builds `openclaw:local` in your rootless Podman store by default, or uses `OPENCLAW_IMAGE` / `OPENCLAW_PODMAN_IMAGE` if you set one.
-- It creates `~/.openclaw/openclaw.json` with `gateway.mode: "local"` if missing.
-- It creates `~/.openclaw/.env` with `OPENCLAW_GATEWAY_TOKEN` if missing.
-- For manual launches, the helper reads only a small allowlist of Podman-related keys from `~/.openclaw/.env` and passes explicit runtime env vars to the container; it does not hand the full env file to Podman.
-
-Quadlet-managed setup:
-
-```bash
-./scripts/podman/setup.sh --quadlet
-```
-
-Quadlet is a Linux-only option because it depends on systemd user services.
-
-You can also set `OPENCLAW_PODMAN_QUADLET=1`.
-
-Optional build/setup env vars:
-
-- `OPENCLAW_IMAGE` or `OPENCLAW_PODMAN_IMAGE` -- use an existing/pulled image instead of building `openclaw:local`
-- `OPENCLAW_DOCKER_APT_PACKAGES` -- install extra apt packages during image build
-- `OPENCLAW_EXTENSIONS` -- pre-install extension dependencies at build time
-
-Container start:
-
-```bash
-./scripts/run-openclaw-podman.sh launch
-```
-
-The script starts the container as your current uid/gid with `--userns=keep-id` and bind-mounts your OpenClaw state into the container.
-
-Onboarding:
-
-```bash
-./scripts/run-openclaw-podman.sh launch setup
-```
-
-Then open `http://127.0.0.1:18789/` and use the token from `~/.openclaw/.env`.
-
-Host CLI default:
-
-```bash
-export OPENCLAW_CONTAINER=openclaw
-```
-
-Then commands such as these will run inside that container automatically:
-
-```bash
-openclaw dashboard --no-open
-openclaw gateway status --deep
-openclaw doctor
-openclaw channels login
-```

-
-## macOS Podman SSH tunnel
-
-On macOS, Podman machine can make the browser appear non-local to the gateway even when the published port is only on `127.0.0.1`.
-
-For local browser access, use an SSH tunnel into the Podman VM and open the tunneled localhost port instead.
-
-Recommended local tunnel port:
-
-- `28889` on the Mac host
-- forwarded to `127.0.0.1:18789` inside the Podman VM
-
-Start the tunnel in a separate terminal:
-
-```bash
-ssh -N \
-  -i ~/.local/share/containers/podman/machine/machine \
-  -p <podman-vm-ssh-port> \
-  -L 28889:127.0.0.1:18789 \
-  core@127.0.0.1
-```
-
-In that command, `<podman-vm-ssh-port>` is the Podman VM's SSH port on the Mac host. Check your current value with:
-
-```bash
-podman system connection list
-```
-
-Allow the tunneled browser origin once. This is required the first time you use the tunnel because the launcher can auto-seed the Podman-published port, but it cannot infer your chosen browser tunnel port:
-
-```bash
-OPENCLAW_CONTAINER=openclaw openclaw config set gateway.controlUi.allowedOrigins \
-  '["http://127.0.0.1:18789","http://localhost:18789","http://127.0.0.1:28889","http://localhost:28889"]' \
-  --strict-json
-podman restart openclaw
-```
-
-That is a one-time step for the default `28889` tunnel.
-
-Then open:
-
-```text
-http://127.0.0.1:28889/
-```

-- `18789` is usually already occupied on the Mac host by the Podman-published gateway port, so the tunnel uses `28889` as the local browser port.
-- If the UI asks for pairing approval, prefer explicit container-targeted or explicit-URL commands so the host CLI does not fall back to local pairing files:
-
-```bash
-openclaw --container openclaw devices list
-openclaw --container openclaw devices approve --latest
-```
-
-- Equivalent explicit-URL form:
-
-```bash
-openclaw devices list \
-  --url ws://127.0.0.1:28889 \
-  --token "$(sed -n 's/^OPENCLAW_GATEWAY_TOKEN=//p' ~/.openclaw/.env | head -n1)"
-```

-## Podman + Tailscale
-
-For HTTPS or remote browser access, follow the main Tailscale docs.
-
-Podman-specific note:
-
-- Keep the Podman publish host at `127.0.0.1`.
-- Prefer host-managed `tailscale serve` over `openclaw gateway --tailscale serve`.
-- For local macOS browser access without HTTPS, prefer the SSH tunnel section above.

 ## Systemd (Quadlet, optional)
 
-If you ran `./scripts/podman/setup.sh --quadlet`, setup installs a Quadlet file at:
+If you ran `./scripts/podman/setup.sh --quadlet` (or `OPENCLAW_PODMAN_QUADLET=1`), a [Podman Quadlet](https://docs.podman.io/en/latest/markdown/podman-systemd.unit.5.html) unit is installed so the gateway runs as a systemd user service for the openclaw user. The service is enabled and started at the end of setup.
 
-```bash
-~/.config/containers/systemd/openclaw.container
-```
+- **Start:** `sudo systemctl --machine openclaw@ --user start openclaw.service`
+- **Stop:** `sudo systemctl --machine openclaw@ --user stop openclaw.service`
+- **Status:** `sudo systemctl --machine openclaw@ --user status openclaw.service`
+- **Logs:** `sudo journalctl --machine openclaw@ --user -u openclaw.service -f`
 
-Useful commands:
+The quadlet file lives at `~openclaw/.config/containers/systemd/openclaw.container`. To change ports or env, edit that file (or the `.env` it sources), then `sudo systemctl --machine openclaw@ --user daemon-reload` and restart the service. On boot, the service starts automatically if lingering is enabled for openclaw (setup does this when loginctl is available).
 
-- **Start:** `systemctl --user start openclaw.service`
-- **Stop:** `systemctl --user stop openclaw.service`
-- **Status:** `systemctl --user status openclaw.service`
-- **Logs:** `journalctl --user -u openclaw.service -f`
+To add quadlet **after** an initial setup that did not use it, re-run: `./scripts/podman/setup.sh --quadlet`.
 
-After editing the Quadlet file:
+## The openclaw user (non-login)
 
-```bash
-systemctl --user daemon-reload
-systemctl --user restart openclaw.service
-```
+`scripts/podman/setup.sh` creates a dedicated system user `openclaw`:
 
-For boot persistence on SSH/headless hosts, enable lingering for your current user:
+- **Shell:** `nologin` — no interactive login; reduces attack surface.
+- **Home:** e.g. `/home/openclaw` — holds `~/.openclaw` (config, workspace) and the launch script `run-openclaw-podman.sh`.
+- **Rootless Podman:** The user must have a **subuid** and **subgid** range. Many distros assign these automatically when the user is created. If setup prints a warning, add lines to `/etc/subuid` and `/etc/subgid`:
 
-```bash
-sudo loginctl enable-linger "$(whoami)"
-```
+  ```text
+  openclaw:100000:65536
+  ```
 
-## Config, env, and storage
+  Then start the gateway as that user (e.g. from cron or systemd):
 
-- **Config dir:** `~/.openclaw`
-- **Workspace dir:** `~/.openclaw/workspace`
-- **Token file:** `~/.openclaw/.env`
-- **Launch helper:** `./scripts/run-openclaw-podman.sh`
+  ```bash
+  sudo -u openclaw /home/openclaw/run-openclaw-podman.sh
+  sudo -u openclaw /home/openclaw/run-openclaw-podman.sh setup
+  ```
 
-The launch script and Quadlet bind-mount host state into the container:
+- **Config:** Only `openclaw` and root can access `/home/openclaw/.openclaw`. To edit config: use the Control UI once the gateway is running, or `sudo -u openclaw $EDITOR /home/openclaw/.openclaw/openclaw.json`.
 
-- `OPENCLAW_CONFIG_DIR` -> `/home/node/.openclaw`
-- `OPENCLAW_WORKSPACE_DIR` -> `/home/node/.openclaw/workspace`
+## Environment and config
 
-By default those are host directories, not anonymous container state, so config and workspace survive container replacement.
-The Podman setup also seeds `gateway.controlUi.allowedOrigins` for `127.0.0.1` and `localhost` on the published gateway port so the local dashboard works with the container's non-loopback bind.
+- **Token:** Stored in `~openclaw/.openclaw/.env` as `OPENCLAW_GATEWAY_TOKEN`. `scripts/podman/setup.sh` and `run-openclaw-podman.sh` generate it if missing (uses `openssl`, `python3`, or `od`).
+- **Optional:** In that `.env` you can set provider keys (e.g. `GROQ_API_KEY`, `OLLAMA_API_KEY`) and other OpenClaw env vars.
+- **Host ports:** By default the script maps `18789` (gateway) and `18790` (bridge). Override the **host** port mapping with `OPENCLAW_PODMAN_GATEWAY_HOST_PORT` and `OPENCLAW_PODMAN_BRIDGE_HOST_PORT` when launching.
+- **Gateway bind:** By default, `run-openclaw-podman.sh` starts the gateway with `--bind loopback` for safe local access. To expose on LAN, set `OPENCLAW_GATEWAY_BIND=lan` and configure `gateway.controlUi.allowedOrigins` (or explicitly enable host-header fallback) in `openclaw.json`.
+- **Paths:** Host config and workspace default to `~openclaw/.openclaw` and `~openclaw/.openclaw/workspace`. Override the host paths used by the launch script with `OPENCLAW_CONFIG_DIR` and `OPENCLAW_WORKSPACE_DIR`.
 
-Useful env vars for the manual launcher:
+## Storage model
 
-- `OPENCLAW_PODMAN_CONTAINER` -- container name (`openclaw` by default)
-- `OPENCLAW_PODMAN_IMAGE` / `OPENCLAW_IMAGE` -- image to run
-- `OPENCLAW_PODMAN_GATEWAY_HOST_PORT` -- host port mapped to container `18789`
-- `OPENCLAW_PODMAN_BRIDGE_HOST_PORT` -- host port mapped to container `18790`
-- `OPENCLAW_PODMAN_PUBLISH_HOST` -- host interface for published ports; default is `127.0.0.1`
-- `OPENCLAW_GATEWAY_BIND` -- gateway bind mode inside the container; default is `lan`
-- `OPENCLAW_PODMAN_USERNS` -- `keep-id` (default), `auto`, or `host`
+- **Persistent host data:** `OPENCLAW_CONFIG_DIR` and `OPENCLAW_WORKSPACE_DIR` are bind-mounted into the container and retain state on the host.
+- **Ephemeral sandbox tmpfs:** if you enable `agents.defaults.sandbox`, the tool sandbox containers mount `tmpfs` at `/tmp`, `/var/tmp`, and `/run`. Those paths are memory-backed and disappear with the sandbox container; the top-level Podman container setup does not add its own tmpfs mounts.
+- **Disk growth hotspots:** the main paths to watch are `media/`, `agents/<agentId>/sessions/sessions.json`, transcript JSONL files, `cron/runs/*.jsonl`, and rolling file logs under `/tmp/openclaw/` (or your configured `logging.file`).
 
-The manual launcher reads `~/.openclaw/.env` before finalizing container/image defaults, so you can persist these there.
-
-If you use a non-default `OPENCLAW_CONFIG_DIR` or `OPENCLAW_WORKSPACE_DIR`, set the same variables for both `./scripts/podman/setup.sh` and later `./scripts/run-openclaw-podman.sh launch` commands. The repo-local launcher does not persist custom path overrides across shells.
-
-Quadlet note:
-
-- The generated Quadlet service intentionally keeps a fixed, hardened default shape: `127.0.0.1` published ports, `--bind lan` inside the container, and `keep-id` user namespace.
-- It still reads `~/.openclaw/.env` for gateway runtime env such as `OPENCLAW_GATEWAY_TOKEN`, but it does not consume the manual launcher's Podman-specific override allowlist.
-- If you need custom publish ports, publish host, or other container-run flags, use the manual launcher or edit `~/.config/containers/systemd/openclaw.container` directly, then reload and restart the service.
+`scripts/podman/setup.sh` now stages the image tar in a private temp directory and prints the chosen base dir during setup. For non-root runs it accepts `TMPDIR` only when that base is safe to use; otherwise it falls back to `/var/tmp`, then `/tmp`. The saved tar stays owner-only and is streamed into the target user’s `podman load`, so private caller temp dirs do not block setup.
 
 ## Useful commands
 
-- **Container logs:** `podman logs -f openclaw`
-- **Stop container:** `podman stop openclaw`
-- **Remove container:** `podman rm -f openclaw`
-- **Open dashboard URL from host CLI:** `openclaw dashboard --no-open`
-- **Health/status via host CLI:** `openclaw gateway status --deep`
+- **Logs:** With quadlet: `sudo journalctl --machine openclaw@ --user -u openclaw.service -f`. With script: `sudo -u openclaw podman logs -f openclaw`
+- **Stop:** With quadlet: `sudo systemctl --machine openclaw@ --user stop openclaw.service`. With script: `sudo -u openclaw podman stop openclaw`
+- **Start again:** With quadlet: `sudo systemctl --machine openclaw@ --user start openclaw.service`. With script: re-run the launch script or `podman start openclaw`
+- **Remove container:** `sudo -u openclaw podman rm -f openclaw` — config and workspace on the host are kept
 
 ## Troubleshooting
 
-- **Permission denied (EACCES) on config or workspace:** The container runs with `--userns=keep-id` and `--user <your uid>:<your gid>` by default. Ensure the host config/workspace paths are owned by your current user.
-- **Gateway start blocked (missing `gateway.mode=local`):** Ensure `~/.openclaw/openclaw.json` exists and sets `gateway.mode="local"`. `scripts/podman/setup.sh` creates this if missing.
-- **Container CLI commands hit the wrong target:** Use `openclaw --container <name> ...` explicitly, or export `OPENCLAW_CONTAINER=<name>` in your shell.
-- **`openclaw update` fails with `--container`:** Expected. Rebuild/pull the image, then restart the container or the Quadlet service.
-- **Quadlet service does not start:** Run `systemctl --user daemon-reload`, then `systemctl --user start openclaw.service`. On headless systems you may also need `sudo loginctl enable-linger "$(whoami)"`.
-- **SELinux blocks bind mounts:** Leave the default mount behavior alone; the launcher auto-adds `:Z` on Linux when SELinux is enforcing or permissive.
+- **Permission denied (EACCES) on config or auth-profiles:** The container defaults to `--userns=keep-id` and runs as the same uid/gid as the host user running the script. Ensure your host `OPENCLAW_CONFIG_DIR` and `OPENCLAW_WORKSPACE_DIR` are owned by that user.
+- **Gateway start blocked (missing `gateway.mode=local`):** Ensure `~openclaw/.openclaw/openclaw.json` exists and sets `gateway.mode="local"`. `scripts/podman/setup.sh` creates this file if missing.
+- **Rootless Podman fails for user openclaw:** Check `/etc/subuid` and `/etc/subgid` contain a line for `openclaw` (e.g. `openclaw:100000:65536`). Add it if missing and restart.
+- **Container name in use:** The launch script uses `podman run --replace`, so the existing container is replaced when you start again. To clean up manually: `podman rm -f openclaw`.
+- **Script not found when running as openclaw:** Ensure `scripts/podman/setup.sh` was run so that `run-openclaw-podman.sh` is copied to openclaw’s home (e.g. `/home/openclaw/run-openclaw-podman.sh`).
+- **Quadlet service not found or fails to start:** Run `sudo systemctl --machine openclaw@ --user daemon-reload` after editing the `.container` file. Quadlet requires cgroups v2: `podman info --format '{{.Host.CgroupsVersion}}'` should show `2`.

+## Optional: run as your own user
 
-- [Docker](/install/docker)
-- [Gateway background process](/gateway/background-process)
-- [Gateway troubleshooting](/gateway/troubleshooting)
+To run the gateway as your normal user (no dedicated openclaw user): build the image, create `~/.openclaw/.env` with `OPENCLAW_GATEWAY_TOKEN`, and run the container with `--userns=keep-id` and mounts to your `~/.openclaw`. The launch script is designed for the openclaw-user flow; for a single-user setup you can instead run the `podman run` command from the script manually, pointing config and workspace to your home. Recommended for most users: use `scripts/podman/setup.sh` and run as the openclaw user so config and process are isolated.

-## Bound sessions
-
-### Current-conversation binds
-
-Use `/acp spawn <harness> --bind here` when you want the current conversation to become a durable ACP workspace without creating a child thread.
-
-Behavior:
-
-- OpenClaw keeps owning the channel transport, auth, safety, and delivery.
-- The current conversation is pinned to the spawned ACP session key.
-- Follow-up messages in that conversation route to the same ACP session.
-- `/new` and `/reset` reset the same bound ACP session in place.
-- `/acp close` closes the session and removes the current-conversation binding.
-
-What this means in practice:
-
-- `--bind here` keeps the same chat surface. On Discord, the current channel stays the current channel.
-- `--bind here` can still create a new ACP session if you are spawning fresh work. The bind attaches that session to the current conversation.
-- `--bind here` does not create a child Discord thread or Telegram topic by itself.
-- The ACP runtime can still have its own working directory (`cwd`) or backend-managed workspace on disk. That runtime workspace is separate from the chat surface and does not imply a new messaging thread.
-
-Mental model:
-
-- chat surface: where people keep talking (`Discord channel`, `Telegram topic`, `iMessage chat`)
-- ACP session: the durable Codex/Claude/Gemini runtime state OpenClaw routes to
-- child thread/topic: an optional extra messaging surface created only by `--thread ...`
-- runtime workspace: the filesystem location where the harness runs (`cwd`, repo checkout, backend workspace)
-
-Examples:
-
-- `/acp spawn codex --bind here`: keep this chat, spawn or attach a Codex ACP session, and route future messages here to it
-- `/acp spawn codex --thread auto`: OpenClaw may create a child thread/topic and bind the ACP session there
-- `/acp spawn codex --bind here --cwd /workspace/repo`: same chat binding as above, but Codex runs in `/workspace/repo`
-
-Current-conversation binding support:
-
-- Chat/message channels that advertise current-conversation binding support can use `--bind here` through the shared conversation-binding path.
-- Channels with custom thread/topic semantics can still provide channel-specific canonicalization behind the same shared interface.
-- `--bind here` always means "bind the current conversation in place".
-- Generic current-conversation binds use the shared OpenClaw binding store and survive normal gateway restarts.
-
-Notes:
-
-- `--bind here` and `--thread ...` are mutually exclusive on `/acp spawn`.
-- On Discord, `--bind here` binds the current channel or thread in place. `spawnAcpSessions` is only required when OpenClaw needs to create a child thread for `--thread auto|here`.
-- If the active channel does not expose current-conversation ACP bindings, OpenClaw returns a clear unsupported message.
-- `resume` and "new session" questions are ACP-session questions, not channel questions. You can reuse or replace runtime state without changing the current chat surface.

-read_when:
-  - You want to enable or configure code_execution
-  - You want remote analysis without local shell access
-  - You want to combine x_search or web_search with remote Python analysis
-title: "Code Execution"
----
-
-# Code Execution
-
-`code_execution` runs sandboxed remote Python analysis on xAI's Responses API.
-This is different from local [`exec`](/tools/exec):
-
-- `exec` runs shell commands on your machine or node
-- `code_execution` runs Python in xAI's remote sandbox
-
-Use `code_execution` for:
-
-- calculations
-- tabulation
-- quick statistics
-- chart-style analysis
-- analyzing data returned by `x_search` or `web_search`
-
-Do **not** use it when you need local files, your shell, your repo, or paired
-devices. Use [`exec`](/tools/exec) for that.
-
-## Setup
-
-You need an xAI API key. Any of these work:
-
-- `XAI_API_KEY`
-- `plugins.entries.xai.config.webSearch.apiKey`
-
-Example:
-
-```json5
-{
-  plugins: {
-    entries: {
-      xai: {
-        config: {
-          webSearch: {
-            apiKey: "xai-...",
-          },
-          codeExecution: {
-            enabled: true,
-            model: "grok-4-1-fast",
-            maxTurns: 2,
-            timeoutSeconds: 30,
-          },
-        },
-      },
-    },
-  },
-}

-## How To Use It
-
-Ask naturally and make the analysis intent explicit:
-
-```text
-Use code_execution to calculate the 7-day moving average for these numbers: ...

-Use x_search to find posts mentioning OpenClaw this week, then use code_execution to count them by day.

-## Public Contracts
-
-- Docs:

-  - `docs/plugins/architecture.md`
-  - `docs/plugins/sdk-overview.md`
-  - `docs/plugins/sdk-entrypoints.md`

-  - `src/plugin-sdk/channel-contract.ts`

-  - `package.json`
-
-## Boundary Rules
-
-- Extension production code should import from `openclaw/plugin-sdk/*` and its
-  own local barrels such as `./api.ts` and `./runtime-api.ts`.
-- Do not import core internals from `src/**`, `src/channels/**`,
-  `src/plugin-sdk-internal/**`, or another extension's `src/**`.
-- Do not use relative imports that escape the current extension package root.
-- Keep plugin metadata accurate in `openclaw.plugin.json` and the package
-  `openclaw` block so discovery and setup work without executing plugin code.
-- Treat files like `src/**`, `onboard.ts`, and other local helpers as private
-  unless you intentionally promote them through `api.ts` and, if needed, a
-  matching `src/plugin-sdk/<id>.ts` facade.
-- If core or core tests need a bundled plugin helper, export it from `api.ts`
-  first instead of letting them deep-import extension internals.
-
-## Expanding The Boundary
-
-- If an extension needs a new seam, add a typed Plugin SDK subpath or additive
-  export instead of reaching into core.
-- Keep new plugin-facing seams backwards-compatible and versioned. Third-party
-  plugins consume this surface.
-- When intentionally expanding the contract, update the docs, exported subpath
-  list, package exports, and API/contract checks in the same change.
