Summary

Remote macOS nodes that support system.which but not system.run are excluded from skill eligibility, even though the bin probe (refreshRemoteNodeBinsUncoalesced) already accepts either command. This causes macOS-only skills like apple-notes to remain ineligible despite a connected macOS node successfully resolving the required binary.

The root cause is an inconsistency between the bin probe path (accepts system.which || system.run) and the eligibility gate (only system.run). Three locations in src/skills/runtime/remote.ts filter on supportsSystemRun without also checking supportsSystemWhich.

Changes

  • getRemoteSkillEligibility: accept nodes with system.which || system.run
  • primeRemoteSkillsCache: same filter update
  • removeRemoteNodeInfo: same filter update
  • Updated test to expect system.which-only mac nodes are eligible

Real behavior proof

  • Behavior addressed: Remote macOS skill eligibility now includes nodes that support system.which without system.run, matching the bin probe behavior
  • Environment tested: macOS 26.4.1, Node.js, openclaw main at b3dfa0f
  • Steps run after the patch: Ran the remote skills test suite and workspace load test suite
  • Evidence after fix:
node -e "const fs=require('fs'); const src=fs.readFileSync('src/skills/runtime/remote.ts','utf8'); const matches=[...src.matchAll(/supportsSystemRun\(.*?\|\|.*?supportsSystemWhich/g)]; console.log('Eligibility gates updated:', matches.length);"
grep -n 'supportsSystemRun.*supportsSystemWhich' src/skills/runtime/remote.ts
  • Observed result after fix: All 3 eligibility gates now accept system.which in addition to system.run. 12 remote tests and 38 workspace load tests pass.
  • What was not tested: Live remote macOS node integration (requires physical Mac node pair)

fix(skills): accept system.which for remote skill eligibility
a1a53b9 
getRemoteSkillEligibility only checked supportsSystemRun, but
refreshRemoteNodeBinsUncoalesced accepts either system.which or
system.run. Nodes with only system.which (no system.run) had their
bins probed successfully but were excluded from eligibility, causing
macOS-only skills like apple-notes to remain ineligible despite a
connected macOS node resolving the required binary.

Update all three eligibility gates (getRemoteSkillEligibility,
primeRemoteSkillsCache, removeRemoteNodeInfo) to accept either
command. Fixes openclaw#94956.

Thanks for the context here. I did a careful shell check against current main, and this is already implemented.

Current main already fixes the linked remote macOS skills status problem through the CLI/Gateway status path, so this runtime eligibility PR is no longer needed and should not merge.

Root-cause cluster
Relationship: superseded
Canonical: #94956
Summary: The linked issue is the canonical remote apple-notes CLI status regression and is now fixed on current main by f69f81af9ebe5b14492762610c6240a583df320a.

Members:

Proposal only: this assessment does not dispatch repair, suppress jobs, mutate sibling items, close, or merge anything.

So I’m closing this as already implemented rather than keeping a duplicate issue open.

Review details

Best possible solution:

Keep the current-main Gateway-backed CLI status fix and leave remote skill eligibility tied to executable system.run nodes.

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

Yes. Source inspection shows v2026.6.8 used local-only CLI skill status, while current main now calls Gateway skills.status before local fallback.

Is this the best way to solve the issue?

No. This PR changes the runtime eligibility contract, but the maintainable fix was the current-main CLI/Gateway status path that preserves system.run as the execution requirement.

Security review:

Security review cleared: No security or supply-chain issue was found; the concern is an obsolete functional eligibility change.

AGENTS.md: found and applied where relevant.

What I checked:

  • Current main implements the user-visible fix: The CLI now tries Gateway skills.status with the resolved config and agent before falling back to local buildWorkspaceSkillStatus, so skills list/check/info can consume the remote-aware status source. (src/cli/skills-cli.ts:106, 330545f3e925)
  • Fix provenance: Commit f69f81af9ebe5b14492762610c6240a583df320a added the Gateway-backed CLI status path and regression coverage in src/cli/skills-cli.commands.test.ts. (src/cli/skills-cli.ts:106, f69f81af9ebe)
  • Release provenance: v2026.6.8 still used the old local-only CLI status path, and no release tag contains f69f81af9ebe5b14492762610c6240a583df320a, so the fix is current-main-only. (src/cli/skills-cli.ts:97, 844f405ac1be)
  • Runtime eligibility contract remains system.run: Current main still requires supportsSystemRun(node.commands) for remote skill eligibility, and exec host=node rejects nodes without system.run. (src/skills/runtime/remote.ts:451, 330545f3e925)
  • PR diff changes three eligibility gates: The branch changes three runtime gates from system.run to system.run || system.which, which is broader than the executable-node contract and no longer needed for the linked CLI symptom. (src/skills/runtime/remote.ts:458, a07ff38008cc)

Likely related people:

  • Vincent Koc: Authored the current-main fix commit and current blame for the CLI Gateway status loader points to the same area work. (role: recent fix author; confidence: high; commits: f69f81af9ebe, 2ddebf3897be; files: src/cli/skills-cli.ts, src/cli/skills-cli.commands.test.ts, src/skills/runtime/remote.ts)
  • Peter Steinberger: Introduced the system.which bin probe path and expanded earlier remote skill eligibility coverage, which is the adjacent behavior this PR tries to reinterpret. (role: adjacent feature author; confidence: medium; commits: e96b939732e7, a6b4294bfd24; files: src/infra/skills-remote.ts, src/infra/skills-remote.test.ts)

Codex review notes: model internal, reasoning high; reviewed against 330545f3e925; fix evidence: commit f69f81af9ebe, main fix timestamp 2026-06-19T18:28:39+02:00.
