Chat-slot agents were being persisted as durable entries in openclaw.json,
causing spurious workspace directories (e.g. chat-slot-main-1) to appear.
Only explicit workspace creation via init now creates durable agent entries.
Workspace discovery and session routing ignore chat-slot internals.
Refine the handling of the DENCHCLAW_DAEMONLESS=1 environment variable and --skip-daemon-install flag to ensure consistent behavior across all commands, including bootstrap, update, start, restart, and stop, in environments lacking systemd/launchd.
Support DENCHCLAW_DAEMONLESS=1 env var and --skip-daemon-install flag
across all commands (bootstrap, update, start, restart, stop) to skip
gateway daemon management and LaunchAgent registration in environments
without systemd/launchd.
Pre-onboard config (gateway.mode, gateway.port, plugin trust) used to call
`openclaw config set` before `openclaw onboard` created the profile, causing
"Failed to set ..." errors on fresh installs (#101). All pre-onboard config is
now staged via raw JSON writes. Hidden gateway restarts inside syncBundledPlugins
are removed; one explicit restart happens after all post-onboard config, followed
by retried health probes so bootstrap no longer falsely reports "gateway closed"
while the gateway is simply finishing startup.
Server-side WebSocket connections should not set Origin (a browser security
concept). The header caused the gateway to treat the web runtime as a browser
client, blocking silent local device pairing after device identity auth was
added.
extractUsageFromMessages was summing ALL assistant messages, so each
$ai_generation event reported a growing cumulative total — PostHog's
sum() then massively over-counted costs (e.g. $634 reported vs $73 actual).
Integrate version tracking for DenchClaw and OpenClaw into the telemetry system. The versions are now read from the package.json and environment variables, and are included in the PostHog client initialization and telemetry events. This enhancement allows for better monitoring and analytics of the versions in use.
On fresh Linux installs (e.g. running as root), `openclaw config set
agents.defaults.workspace` fails because the target directory doesn't
exist yet — some OpenClaw builds validate the path on disk before
accepting the value. Create the directory eagerly with mkdirSync before
the config set call.
Also surface the exit code in runOpenClawOrThrow errors when stderr is
empty, so silent failures are easier to diagnose.
Fixes#101
Set gateway mode and port before onboarding so the first daemon start succeeds, then reapply them after onboarding so wizard defaults cannot drift DenchClaw off its expected local gateway.
Backend support for multi-session chat: /api/chat/runs endpoint for parent/subagent run status, subagent registry for reading run state, and cascade stop to abort child sessions when stopping a parent.
Darken --color-sidebar-bg to create more visual hierarchy between
the sidebar and main content area, inspired by animclaw's approach.
Light: #f5f5f4 → #ebebea (delta 15 from main-bg, was 5)
Dark: #141413 → #0c0c0b (delta 10 from main-bg, was 2)
