OpenClaw Browser WSL Attach

Prepare a stable OpenClaw browser session by using Chromium in attachOnly mode with remote debugging enabled. Prefer this workflow in WSL, headless Linux, or root-run OpenClaw environments where direct browser launch is flaky.

Workflow

1. Check browser readiness before changing anything.
2. If OpenClaw browser is already attached and healthy, reuse it.
3. If Chromium exists but OpenClaw launch is unstable, switch to attachOnly mode.
4. Run python3 scripts/configure-browser.py and restart the gateway.
5. Start Chromium manually with CDP on port 18800.
6. Verify curl http://127.0.0.1:18800/json/version and openclaw browser status.
7. Then use normal browser actions through OpenClaw.
