Self-review of the modal-tab additions caught footguns in the new
hermes/codex/openclaw snippets. Ship the fixes before merge.
Critical 1 — Hermes `cat >> ~/.hermes/config.yaml` corrupts existing
configs. Most existing hermes installs have a top-level gateway:
block; appending creates a duplicate, which YAML rejects. Replaced
the auto-append with explicit instructions: 'under your existing
gateway: block, add a plugin_platforms entry'.
Critical 2 — Codex `cat >> ~/.codex/config.toml` corrupts on
re-run. TOML rejects duplicate [mcp_servers.molecule] tables; a
second run breaks codex parse. Replaced auto-append with commented
config block + explicit 'open ~/.codex/config.toml in your editor
and paste'. Canvas-side token stamping still hits the literal in
the comment so the operator's clipboard has the real token already
substituted.
Required 3 — OpenClaw `onboard --non-interactive` missing
provider/model defaults. Added explicit --provider + --model
placeholders in a commented form so operators see what's needed
without a stub default applying silently.
Required 4 — OpenClaw gateway started with bare '&' dies on
terminal close. Switched to nohup + log file + disown, with a note
that systemd is the right answer for production.
Optional 5 + 6 (env_vars cleanup, tests) deferred — env_vars stripped
to keep the in-tree-vs-external surface narrow; tests for the new
response fields can land separately when external_connection.go is
next touched.
