[Bug]: exec approval system blocks all remote usage on Windows — no way to disable #58752
Description
Bug type
Regression (worked before, now fails)
Beta release blocker
No
Summary
Exec approval system on Windows platform cannot be disabled, making remote usage completely impossible
Steps to reproduce
- Install OpenClaw v2026.3.31 on Windows\n2. Try to execute any exec command via remote connection\n3. Every single exec command requires manual approval\n4. No configuration option can disable the approval requirement
Expected behavior
Windows platform should support exec approval bypass (e.g. ask:off) like Linux/Mac, OR there should be a config option to disable exec approval for remote users
Actual behavior
Every exec command triggers approval prompt: 'Approval required'. On Windows, the error message is 'allowlist execution plan unavailable (unsupported platform)' — meaning Windows cannot support the approval bypass mechanism at all. Remote users (not physically at the machine) cannot approve, making the system completely unusable remotely.

Impact and severity
CRITICAL — Remote users cannot use OpenClaw at all. This effectively locks out any user who accesses OpenClaw remotely (not physically at the machine). This is a complete UX disaster for remote workflows.
