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.
parseSimpleYaml only matched `key: value` lines (regex required `.+`
after the colon), so `permissions:` followed by indented `- database`
list items was never parsed. This caused app bridge methods like
db.query to always fail with "Unknown method or insufficient
permissions" even when the app manifest granted the database permission.
Change the regex to `.*` to also match keys with no inline value, then
collect subsequent indented `- item` lines into an array.
Closes#87
- Convert sync filesystem and DuckDB operations to async across API routes,
workspace lib, and active-runs to prevent event loop blocking during tree
discovery, object lookups, and database queries
- Add "tags" field type for free-form string arrays with parse-tags utility,
TagsBadges/TagsInput UI components, filter operators, and CRM skill docs
- Preserve rich text formatting (bold, italic, code, @mentions) in user chat
messages by sending HTML alongside plain text through the transport layer
- Detect empty-stream errors, improve agent error emission, and add file
mutation queues for concurrent write safety in active-runs
- Add pre-publish standalone node_modules verification in deploy script
checking serverExternalPackages are present
- Extract syncManagedSkills and discoverWorkspaceDirs for multi-workspace
skill syncing, add ensureSeedAssets for runtime app dir
- Bump version 2.1.1 → 2.1.4
findObjectDir only searched the workspace root and one level deep, so objects
nested inside category folders (e.g. marketing/influencer/) were not discovered
by the views API. This caused saved views, active_view, and view_settings to
silently return empty for any object beyond depth 1.
Replace the single-level scan with a depth-limited recursive search (max 4
levels), skipping known heavy directories (node_modules, .git, .next, etc.).
The sidebar tree builder (buildTree in tree/route.ts) already walks recursively,
so this brings findObjectDir in line with the rest of the workspace discovery.
Add ensureAgentInConfig, setDefaultAgentInConfig, and resolveActiveAgentId to manage per-workspace agent entries in openclaw.json so the gateway routes to the correct workspace.
BREAKING CHANGE: Convert repository to IronClaw-only package with strict
external dependency on globally installed `openclaw` runtime.
### Changes
- Remove entire OpenClaw core source from repository (src/agents/*, src/acp/*,
src/commands/*, and related modules)
- Implement CLI delegation: non-bootstrap commands now delegate to global
`openclaw` binary via external contract
- Remove local OpenClaw path resolution from web app; always spawn global
`openclaw` binary instead of local scripts
- Rename package.json scripts: `pnpm openclaw` → `pnpm ironclaw`,
`openclaw:rpc` → `ironclaw:rpc`
- Update bootstrap flow to verify and install global OpenClaw when missing
- Migrate web workspace/profile logic to align with OpenClaw state paths
- Add migration contract tests for stream-json, session subscribe, and profile
resolution behaviors
- Update build/release pipeline for IronClaw-only artifacts
- Update documentation for new peer + global installation model
### Architecture
IronClaw is now strictly a frontend/UI/bootstrap layer:
- `npx ironclaw` bootstraps OpenClaw (if missing), runs guided onboarding
- IronClaw UI serves on localhost:3100
- OpenClaw Gateway runs on standard port 18789
- Communication via stable CLI contracts and Gateway WebSocket protocol only
### Migration
Users must have `openclaw` installed globally:
npm install -g openclaw
Existing IronClaw profiles and sessions remain compatible through gateway
protocol stability.

YAML-parsed date_between/between filters store range values as a
two-element array under `value`, but the filter system expected
separate value/valueTo fields. Add normalizeFilterGroup at the YAML
read boundary and defensive array handling in the evaluator and SQL
builder so both formats work correctly.

Restore backend/logic features that were incorrectly auto-merged from the
design branch:
- Spreadsheet viewer (xlsx, csv, ods, etc.) and xlsx dependency
- HTML iframe viewer with source toggle
- Directory picker modal for workspace creation
- Workspace registry for custom-path workspaces
- Session auto-discovery for orphaned sessions
- Workspace init seeding (CRM objects, DuckDB, templates, bootstrap files)
- Symlink resolution and showHidden in tree/browse routes
- Upload to workspace assets/ instead of hidden ~/.ironclaw/uploads/
- Webpack dev watcher config (next.config.ts)
- router.push for back-button navigation history
── Tiptap Markdown Editor ──
- Add full Tiptap-based WYSIWYG markdown editor (markdown-editor.tsx, 709 LOC)
with bubble menu, auto-save (debounced), image drag-and-drop/paste upload,
table editing, task list checkboxes, and frontmatter preservation on save.
- Add slash command system (slash-command.tsx, 607 LOC) with "/" trigger for
block insertion (headings, lists, tables, code blocks, images, reports) and
"@" trigger for file/document mention with fuzzy search across the workspace
tree.
- Add ReportBlockNode (report-block-node.tsx) — custom Tiptap node that renders
embedded report-json blocks as interactive ReportCard widgets inline in the
editor, with expand/collapse and edit-JSON support.
- Add workspace asset serving API (api/workspace/assets/[...path]/route.ts) to
serve images from the workspace with proper MIME types.
- Add workspace file upload orkspace/upload/route.ts) for multipart
image uploads (10 MB limit, image types only), saving to assets/ directory.
- Add ~500 lines of Tiptap editor CSS to globals.css (editor layout, task lists,
images, tables, slash command dropdown, bubble menu toolbar, code blocks, etc.).
- Add 14 @tiptap/* dependencies to apps/web/package.json (react, starter-kit,
markdown, image, link, table, task-list, suggestion, placeholder, etc.).
── Document View: Edit/Read Mode Toggle ──
- document-view.tsx: Add edit/read mode toggle; defaults to edit mode when a
filePath is available. Lazy-loads MarkdownEditor to keep initial bundle light.
- workspace/page.tsx: Pass activePath, tree, onSave, onNavigate, and
onRefreshTree through to DocumentView for full editor integration with
workspace navigation and tree refresh after saves.
── Subagent Session Isolation ──
- agent-runner.ts: Add RunAgentOptions with optional sessionId; when set, spawns
the agent with --session-key agent:main:subagent:<id> ant so
file-scoped sidebar chats run in isolated sessions independent of the main
agent.
- route.ts (chat API): Accept sessionId from request body and forward it to
runAgent. Resolve workspace file path prefixes (resolveAgentWorkspacePrefix)
so tree-relative paths become agent-cwd-relative.
- chat-panel.tsx: Create per-instance DefaultChatTransport that injects sessionId
via body function and a ref (avoids stale closures). On file change, auto-load
the most recent session and its messages. Refresh session tab list after
streaming ends. Stop ongoing stream when switching sessions.
- register.agent.ts: Add --session-key <key> and --lane <lane> CLI flags.
- agent-via-gateway.ts: Wire sessionKey into session resolution and validation
for both interactive and --stream-json code paths.
- workspace.ts: Add resolveAgentWorkspacePrefix() to map workspace-root-relative
paths to repo-root-relative paths for the agent process.
── Error Surfacing ──
- agent-runner.ts: Add onAgentError callback extraction helpers
(parseAgentErrorMessage, parseErrorBody, parseErrorFromStderr) to surface
API-level errors (402 payment, rate limits, etc.) to the UI. Captures stderr
for fallback error detection on non-zero exit.
- route.ts: Wire onAgentError into the SSE stream as [error]-prefixed text
parts. Improve onError and onClose handlers with clearer error messages and
exit code reporting.
- chat-message.tsx: Detect [error]-prefixed text segments and render them as
styled error banners with alert icon instead of plain text.
- chat-panel.tsx: Restyle the transport-level error bar with themed colors and
an alert icon consistent with in-message error styling.
