Config Guardian

Overview

Use this workflow whenever editing ~/.openclaw/openclaw.json or running openclaw config set/apply. It prevents invalid config, creates backups, validates against schema, and enables rollback.

Workflow (use every time)

1. Preflight

   • Confirm the requested change and scope.
   • Check for sensitive keys (tokens, credentials).

2. Backup

   • Run scripts/backup_config.sh to create a timestamped snapshot.

3. Validate (before change)

   • Run scripts/validate_config.sh.
   • If validation fails, stop and report.

4. Apply change
