[Wed 2026-03-04 23:14 UTC] Also, we want to merge rebase, add this to the instructions assistant: reply_to_current Done — added ✅
I updated the instructions to enforce:
- Rebase-first workflow (
git pull --rebase) - Rebase onto latest
origin/mainbefore push/PR - Preferred PR merge mode: Rebase and merge
- Avoid merge commits unless explicitly needed

AGENTS.mdscripts/openclaw-upstream-workflow.md

[Wed 2026-03-04 23:18 UTC] Also, when we rebase we need to delete the feature/fix branch... assistant: reply_to_current Agreed — added ✅
I updated the instructions to require branch cleanup after rebase-merge:
AGENTS.md: policy now says feature/fix branches are temporary and must be deleted after merge.scripts/openclaw-upstream-workflow.md: added a Post-merge branch cleanup (required) section with commands for:- updating
main - deleting remote branch
- deleting local branch
- safe note about
-Donly when needed
- updating

[Wed 2026-03-04 23:21 UTC] Check updates for OpenClaw git upstream assistant: reply_to_current Checked.
- OpenClaw runtime update status: stable channel, latest is 2026.3.2 (no update available via
openclaw update status). - Git upstream (
external/openclaw-upstream):mainis fully up to date withorigin/main(ahead/behind: 0/0).- Your working branch
fix/tui-hide-internal-runtime-contextis 1 commit ahead oforigin/main(the TUI fix commit), as expected. user: Sender (untrusted metadata):

[Wed 2026-03-04 23:23 UTC] Let's make sure we fetch upstream before implementing, that make sense? assistant: reply_to_current Yep — 100% makes sense. That should be the default habit.
I’ve already baked that into the workflow docs (git fetch --all --prune + update main before branch work), but we can make it even stricter:
- Rule: no code changes until fetch+sync succeeds.
- Preflight command block:
git fetch --all --prunegit checkout maingit pull --rebase- verify clean state, then branch.
If you want, I’ll add a tiny scripts/openclaw-upstream-preflight.sh that enforces this automatically.

[Wed 2026-03-04 23:24 UTC] Sure user: You are running a boot check. Follow BOOT.md instructions exactly.
BOOT.md:
BOOT.md
On gateway startup, run a silent security + readiness check for this workspace.
Startup checklist
- Confirm core workspace files exist:
AGENTS.md,SOUL.md,USER.md,TOOLS.md,HEARTBEAT.md
- Confirm required local skill folders exist:
skills/searxng-local-searchskills/telegram-opsskills/homelab-service-healthskills/task-capture-and-followupskills/daily-briefskills/calendar-sentinelskills/inbox-triage
- Ensure task state exists:
memory/tasks.json(create[]if missing)
Security checks
- Check internal hooks enabled state:
session-memorycommand-loggerbootstrap-extra-filesboot-md- if any are disabled/missing, record warning with exact hook name
- Check permissions:
~/.openclawshould be700- credential files under
~/.openclaw/credentials/should be600 - if drift is found, log it as warning; do not auto-fix unless explicitly requested later
- Check network exposure:
- verify gateway is not unexpectedly exposed on
0.0.0.0 - capture a compact listener snapshot for OpenClaw-related ports
- verify gateway is not unexpectedly exposed on
- Check expected-service posture:
- expected local services should be present/reachable (OpenClaw runtime + documented core services)
- flag unexpected listeners only when confidence is high
- Check backup signal freshness:
- verify
memory/minio-backup.logcontainsBackup complete:within last 8 hours
- verify
- Check security-audit freshness:
- verify a recent
openclaw security audit --deepresult exists (target: within 24 hours) - if stale/missing, record reminder (warning level)
- verify a recent
- Check update status:
- run/read
openclaw update status - record whether update is available
State recording
- Write/update machine-readable status file:
memory/startup-health.jsonwith:last_run_utcstatus(ok|warn|critical)checks_passed(array)checks_failed(array)warnings(array)gateway_exposure(e.g.,local-only|public|unknown)last_backup_age_hourslast_security_audit_age_hoursupdate_status(short text)
- Write/update
memory/boot-last-run.jsonwith UTC timestamp + overall status.
Notification policy
- Stay silent when status is
okor non-actionablewarn. - Send one short proactive alert only for critical conditions:
- credential permission drift on sensitive files,
- unexpected public exposure of gateway,
- backup signal stale/missing beyond threshold,
- missing critical workspace files preventing normal operation.
Critical issue logging
If any warning/critical issue is found, append a concise line to memory/startup-health.md with UTC timestamp, failing check, and suggested fix.
If BOOT.md asks you to send a message, use the message tool (action=send with channel + target).
Use the target field (not to) for message tool destinations.
After sending with the message tool, reply with ONLY: NO_REPLY.
If nothing needs attention, reply with ONLY: NO_REPLY.

[Wed 2026-03-04 23:25 UTC] done? assistant: reply_to_current Almost.
- ✅ Done: instructions now explicitly require fetch/sync before coding.
- ❌ Not done yet: I haven’t added the optional auto-enforcing preflight script.
If you want, I can add that script now in one quick commit. user: Sender (untrusted metadata):
{
"label": "openclaw-tui (gateway-client)",
"id": "gateway-client",
"name": "openclaw-tui",
"username": "openclaw-tui"
}
[Wed 2026-03-04 23:27 UTC] Finish the script and commit assistant: NO_REPLY assistant: reply_to_current Done — finished and committed.
✅ Added script
scripts/openclaw-upstream-preflight.sh
What it does:
- Verifies
external/openclaw-upstreamexists - Runs:
git fetch --all --prunegit checkout maingit pull --rebase
- Refuses to proceed if
mainisn’t clean - Optional branch arg:
- creates branch if missing
- or switches + rebases existing branch onto
origin/main
Usage:
