…ECURITY.md

Upstream PR openclaw#40307 (Docker: trim runtime image payload) introduced an
explicit COPY list for the runtime-assets stage but omitted:
- enforce-config.mjs (model provider registration, cron seeding, etc.)
- SOUL.md (prompt hardening)
- ACIP_SECURITY.md (security inoculation)

Without enforce-config.mjs, fresh deploys fail with 'Unknown model:
bailian/qwen3.5-plus' because the Bailian provider is never registered.

Also fixes YAML frontmatter stripping in docker-entrypoint.sh to use
awk instead of sed for reliable multi-line removal.

* docs: fix Browserbase section to match official docs

Browserbase requires creating a session via their API to get a CDP

timeout note from official docs.

* docs: restore direct wss://connect.browserbase.com URL

* feat(browser): support direct WebSocket CDP URLs for Browserbase

Browserbase uses direct WebSocket connections (wss://) rather than the
standard HTTP-based /json/version CDP discovery flow used by Browserless.
This change teaches the browser tool to accept ws:// and wss:// URLs as
cdpUrl values: when a WebSocket URL is detected, OpenClaw connects
directly instead of attempting HTTP discovery.

Changes:
- config.ts: accept ws:// and wss:// in cdpUrl validation
- cdp.helpers.ts: add isWebSocketUrl() helper
- cdp.ts: skip /json/version when cdpUrl is already a WebSocket URL
- chrome.ts: probe WSS endpoints via WebSocket handshake instead of HTTP
- cdp.test.ts: add test for direct WebSocket target creation
- docs/tools/browser.md: update Browserbase section with correct URL
  format and notes

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 <[email protected]>

* test+docs: comprehensive coverage and generic framing

- Add 12 new tests covering: isWebSocketUrl detection, parseHttpUrl WSS
  acceptance/rejection, direct WS target creation with query params,
  SSRF enforcement on WS URLs, WS reachability probing bypasses HTTP
- Reframe docs section as generic "Direct WebSocket CDP providers" with
  Browserbase as one example — any WSS-based provider works
- Update security tips to mention WSS alongside HTTPS

* fix(browser): update existing tests for ws/wss protocol support

* fix(browser): rewrite 0.0.0.0 and [::] wildcard addresses in CDP WebSocket URLs

Containerized browsers (e.g. browserless in Docker) report
`ws://0.0.0.0:<internal-port>` in their `/json/version` response.
`normalizeCdpWsUrl` rewrites loopback WS hosts to the external
CDP host:port, but `0.0.0.0` and `[::]` were not treated as
addresses needing rewriting, causing OpenClaw to try connecting
to `ws://0.0.0.0:3000` literally — which always fails.

* fix(matrix): restore robust DM routing without the memberCount heuristic (openclaw#19736)

* fix(matrix): remove memberCount heuristic from DM detection

The memberCount === 2 check in isDirectMessage() misclassifies 2-person
group rooms (admin channels, monitoring rooms) as DMs, routing them to
the main session instead of their room-specific session.

Matrix already distinguishes DMs from groups at the protocol level via
m.direct account data and is_direct member state flags. Both are already
checked by client.dms.isDm() and hasDirectFlag(). The memberCount
heuristic only adds false positives for 2-person groups.

Move resolveMemberCount() below the protocol-level checks so it is only
reached for rooms not matched by m.direct or is_direct. This narrows its
role to diagnostic logging for confirmed group rooms.

Refs: openclaw#19739

* fix(matrix): add conservative fallback for broken DM flags

Some homeservers (notably Continuwuity) have broken m.direct account
data or never set is_direct on invite events. With the memberCount
heuristic removed, these DMs are no longer detected.

Add a conservative fallback that requires two signals before classifying
as DM: memberCount === 2 AND no explicit m.room.name. Group rooms almost
always have explicit names; DMs almost never do.

Error handling distinguishes M_NOT_FOUND (missing state event, expected
for unnamed rooms) from network/auth errors. Non-404 errors fall through
to group classification rather than guessing.

This is independently revertable — removing this commit restores pure
protocol-based detection without any heuristic fallback.

* fix(matrix): add parentPeer for DM room binding support

Add parentPeer to DM routes so conversations are bindable by room ID
while preserving DM trust semantics (secure 1:1, no group restrictions).

Suggested by @KirillShchetinin.

* fix(matrix): override DM detection for explicitly configured rooms

Builds on @robertcorreiro's config-driven approach from openclaw#9106.

Move resolveMatrixRoomConfig() before the DM check. If a room matches
a non-wildcard config entry (matchSource === "direct") and was
classified as DM, override the classification to group. This gives users
a deterministic escape hatch for misclassified rooms.

Wildcards are excluded from the override to avoid breaking DM routing
when a "*" catch-all exists. roomConfig is gated behind isRoom so DMs
never inherit group settings (skills, systemPrompt, autoReply).

This commit is independently droppable if the scope is too broad.

* test(matrix): add DM detection and config override tests

- 15 unit tests for direct.ts: all detection paths, priority order,
  M_NOT_FOUND vs network error handling, edge cases (whitespace names,
  API failures)
- 8 unit tests for rooms.ts: matchSource classification, wildcard
  safety for DM override, direct match priority over wildcard

* Changelog: note matrix DM routing follow-up

* fix(daemon): enable LaunchAgent before bootstrap on restart

restartLaunchAgent was missing the launchctl enable call that
installLaunchAgent already performs. launchd can persist a "disabled"

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 <[email protected]>

* fix(daemon): also enable LaunchAgent in repairLaunchAgentBootstrap

The repair/recovery path had the same missing `enable` guard as
`restartLaunchAgent`.  If launchd persists a "disabled" state after a
previous `bootout`, the `bootstrap` call in `repairLaunchAgentBootstrap`
fails silently, leaving the gateway unloaded in the recovery flow.

Add the same `enable` guard before `bootstrap` that was already applied
to `installLaunchAgent` and (in this PR) `restartLaunchAgent`.

* fix(gateway): exit non-zero on restart shutdown timeout

When a config-change restart hits the force-exit timeout, exit with

since graceful stops should not cause supervisor recovery.

* fix(gateway): validate config before restart to prevent crash + macOS permission loss (openclaw#35862)

When 'openclaw gateway restart' is run with an invalid config, the new
process crashes on startup due to config validation failure. On macOS,
this causes Full Disk Access (TCC) permissions to be lost because the
respawned process has a different PID.

Add getConfigValidationError() helper and pre-flight config validation
in both runServiceRestart() and runServiceStart(). If config is invalid,
abort with a clear error message instead of crashing.

The config watcher's hot-reload path already had this guard
(handleInvalidSnapshot), but the CLI restart/start commands did not.

AI-assisted (OpenClaw agent, fully tested)

* fix(gateway): catch startup failure in run loop to prevent process exit (openclaw#35862)

When an in-process restart (SIGUSR1) triggers a config-triggered restart
and the new config is invalid, params.start() throws and the while loop
exits, killing the process. On macOS this loses TCC permissions.

Wrap params.start() in try/catch: on failure, set server=null, log the
error, and wait for the next SIGUSR1 instead of crashing.

* test: add runServiceStart config pre-flight tests (openclaw#35862)

Address Greptile review: add test coverage for runServiceStart path.
The error message copy-paste issue was already fixed in the DRY refactor
(uses params.serviceNoun instead of hardcoded 'restart').

* fix: address bot review feedback on openclaw#35862

- Remove dead 'return false' in runServiceStart (Greptile)
- Include stack trace in run-loop crash guard error log (Greptile)
- Only catch startup errors on subsequent restarts, not initial start (Codex P1)
- Add JSDoc note about env var false positive edge case (Codex P1)

* fix: move config pre-flight before onNotLoaded in runServiceRestart (Codex P2)

The config check was positioned after onNotLoaded, which could send
SIGUSR1 to an unmanaged process before config was validated.

* fix: release gateway lock on restart failure + reply to Codex reviews

- Release gateway lock when in-process restart fails, so daemon
  restart/stop can still manage the process (Codex P2)
- P1 (env mismatch) already addressed: best-effort by design, documented
  in JSDoc

* fix(gateway): detect launchd supervision via XPC_SERVICE_NAME

On macOS, launchd sets XPC_SERVICE_NAME on managed processes but does
not set LAUNCH_JOB_LABEL or LAUNCH_JOB_NAME. Without checking
XPC_SERVICE_NAME, isLikelySupervisedProcess() returns false for
launchd-managed gateways, causing restartGatewayProcessWithFreshPid()
to fork a detached child instead of returning "supervised". The
detached child holds the gateway lock while launchd simultaneously
respawns the original process (KeepAlive=true), leading to an infinite
lock-timeout / restart loop.

* fix: detect launchd supervision via xpc service name (openclaw#20555) (thanks @dimat)

* fix(node-host): bind bun and deno approval scripts

* fix(skills): pin validated download roots

* fix(telegram): abort in-flight getUpdates fetch on shutdown

When the gateway receives SIGTERM, runner.stop() stops the grammY polling
loop but does not abort the in-flight getUpdates HTTP request. That request
hangs for up to 30 seconds (the Telegram API timeout). If a new gateway
instance starts polling during that window, Telegram returns a 409 Conflict
error, causing message loss and requiring exponential backoff recovery.

This is especially problematic with service managers (launchd, systemd)
that restart the process immediately after SIGTERM.

Wire an AbortController into the fetch layer so every Telegram API request
(especially the long-polling getUpdates) aborts immediately on shutdown:

- bot.ts: Accept optional fetchAbortSignal in TelegramBotOptions; wrap
  the grammY fetch with AbortSignal.any() to merge the shutdown signal.
- monitor.ts: Create a per-iteration AbortController, pass its signal to
  createTelegramBot, and abort it from the SIGTERM handler, force-restart
  path, and finally block.

* fix(telegram): use manual signal forwarding to avoid cross-realm AbortSignal

AbortSignal.any() fails in Node.js when signals come from different module
contexts (grammY's internal signal vs local AbortController), producing:
"The signals[0] argument must be an instance of AbortSignal. Received an
instance of AbortSignal".

Replace with manual event forwarding that works across all realms.

* fix: abort telegram getupdates on shutdown (openclaw#23950) (thanks @Gkinthecodeland)

* fix(cron): stagger missed jobs on restart to prevent gateway overload

When the gateway restarts with many overdue cron jobs, they are now
executed with staggered delays to prevent overwhelming the gateway.

- Add missedJobStaggerMs config (default 5s between jobs)
- Add maxMissedJobsPerRestart limit (default 5 jobs immediately)
- Prioritize most overdue jobs by sorting by nextRunAtMs
- Reschedule deferred jobs to fire gradually via normal timer

* fix(cron): do not misclassify empty/NO_REPLY as interim acknowledgement

When a cron task's agent returns NO_REPLY, the payload filter strips the
silent token, leaving an empty text string. isLikelyInterimCronMessage()
previously returned true for empty input, causing the cron runner to
inject a forced rerun prompt ('Your previous response was only an
acknowledgement...').

Change the empty-string branch to return false: empty text after payload
filtering means the agent deliberately chose silent completion, not that
it sent an interim 'on it' message.
