Summary

• The --json flag on openclaw config set described itself as "Parse value as JSON5 (required)" — incorrect in two ways:
  1. The flag is not required (defaults to false)
  2. JSON5 parsing is attempted regardless — --json only enables strict mode
• Without --json: JSON5 tried, falls back to raw string on failure
• With --json: JSON5 tried, throws error on failure
• Updated description to "Strict JSON5 parsing (error instead of raw string fallback)"

Test plan

• Run openclaw config set --help — verify updated description
• Lint/format pass

Greptile Summary

Corrected the --json flag description for openclaw config set command. The previous description incorrectly stated the flag was "required" and misleadingly suggested it controlled whether JSON5 parsing was attempted. In reality, JSON5 parsing is always attempted regardless of the flag - the flag only controls whether to throw an error or fall back to treating the value as a raw string when parsing fails.

Confidence Score: 5/5

• This PR is safe to merge with no risk
• The change is a simple documentation fix to a single CLI flag description, making it more accurate and less misleading. No code logic was modified - only the help text string was updated. The new description accurately reflects the actual behavior of the flag as verified by examining the parseValue function implementation.
• No files require special attention
