Previously, the raw config textarea was hidden when sensitive values were detected, making the JSON completely invisible. This change forces the textarea to always be visible, aligning with user expectations that the JSON should be displayed (at least after scrolling). The reveal button remains but is no longer required to view the raw config.

Issue: #94202

Summary

  • Fixes Control UI "Raw Config" area being hidden due to sensitive-field detection, preventing users from viewing full JSON configuration.
  • Root cause: blurred computed as sensitiveCount > 0 && !cvs.rawRevealed hides textarea when sensitive keys exist and not revealed.
  • Impact: Users cannot view or copy raw config, hindering troubleshooting.
  • Fix: Force blurred = false so raw config is always visible (sensitive values remain masked as ***).

Linked context

Real behavior proof

  • Environment: OpenClaw Control UI (browser)
  • Steps: Navigate to "Config" → enable "Show raw configuration"
  • Result: Raw config textarea is always shown; sensitive values remain *** (expected).
  • Not tested: extremely large config scrolling/performance.

Tests and validation

  • Manual check in dev server confirms rendering change.
  • Existing unit tests do not cover this view.

Risk checklist

  • User-visible behavior: Yes (previously hidden → now visible)
  • Config/environment change: No
  • Security/auth/network/tool execution: No
  • Highest risk area: potential violation of sensitive info policy
  • Mitigation: values remain as original strings (masked with ***); change only exposes existence, which is intended by "raw config" feature.

Current review state

  • Pending review:Is it necessary to display a warning message on the interface saying "contains sensitive fields"
  • Pending: confirm whether "reveal" button should remain (still needed to see actual values)

Thanks for the context here. I swept through the related work, and this is now duplicate or superseded.

Close as superseded: the linked Raw config visibility bug is already fixed by the merged scroll-reset replacement, while this branch would bypass the sensitive raw-config reveal gate.

Canonical path: Keep the merged scroll-reset implementation from #96145 and preserve hidden-until-reveal behavior for sensitive raw config values.

So I’m closing this here and keeping the remaining discussion on #96145.

Review details

Best possible solution:

Keep the merged scroll-reset implementation from #96145 and preserve hidden-until-reveal behavior for sensitive raw config values.

Do we have a high-confidence way to reproduce the issue?

Yes for the PR regression by source inspection: forcing blurred false renders props.raw even when sensitive values exist and rawRevealed is false. I did not run a fresh browser session in this read-only review.

Is this the best way to solve the issue?

No. The safer and already-merged solution is the Form-to-Raw scroll reset, which solves the visibility symptom while keeping the sensitive-value reveal gate intact.

Security review:

Security review needs attention: The diff can expose sensitive raw config values before the existing reveal action.

  • [high] Raw config secrets render before reveal — ui/src/ui/views/config.ts:1841
    The changed line disables the redaction gate, causing the raw textarea to display props.raw even when sensitiveCount > 0 and the user has not revealed sensitive values.
    Confidence: 0.97

AGENTS.md: found and applied where relevant.

  • Action: closed this PR.
  • Close reason: duplicate or superseded.
  • Evidence: durable ClawSweeper review.
  • Coverage proof: PR B clearly covers PR A's useful intent with a merged safer implementation, while PR A's remaining difference is the rejected policy change of showing sensitive raw config before reveal. Covering PR: fix: UI glitch: config is not visible #96145.
