Vendor OpenClaw source as Adolf fork baseline
Adolf is a fork/vendored clone of github.com/openclaw/openclaw (v2026.6.11),
free to diverge. Tree copied sans upstream .git; upstream remote added for
future syncs. Node pinned to 24 (.nvmrc); engines already require >=22.19.
Preserves docs/ARCHITECTURE.md.

Behavior

The Policy plugin contributes doctor health checks for policy-managed OpenClaw settings and governed workspace declarations. Policy currently covers channel conformance, governed tool metadata, MCP server posture, model-provider posture, private-network access posture, Gateway exposure posture, agent workspace/tool posture, configured global/per-agent tool posture, configured sandbox runtime posture, ingress/channel access posture, data-handling posture, and OpenClaw config secret provider/auth profile posture.

Policy stores authored requirements in policy.jsonc, observes existing OpenClaw settings and workspace declarations as evidence, and reports drift through openclaw policy check and openclaw doctor --lint. A clean policy check emits policy, evidence, findings, and attestation hashes that operators can record for audit.

openclaw policy compare --baseline <file> compares one policy file to another policy file. It is config-level conformance only: it uses policy rule metadata to verify that the checked policy is not missing or weaker than the authored baseline, and it does not inspect runtime state, credentials, or secret values.

Tool posture rules can require approved profiles, workspace-only filesystem tools, bounded exec security/ask/host settings, disabled elevated mode, exact alsoAllow entries, and required tool deny entries. The evidence records additive alsoAllow entries because they can widen effective tool posture. These checks observe config conformance only; they do not read runtime approval state or add runtime enforcement.

Sandbox posture rules can require approved sandbox modes/backends, deny host container networking, deny container namespace joins, require read-only container mounts, deny container runtime socket mounts and unconfined container profiles, and require sandbox browser CDP source ranges. These checks observe config conformance only; they do not read runtime approval state, inspect live containers, or add runtime enforcement.

Data-handling rules can require sensitive logging redaction, deny telemetry content capture, require session retention maintenance, and deny session transcript memory indexing. These checks observe config conformance only; they do not inspect raw logs, telemetry exports, transcripts, memory files, secrets, or personal data.

Named policy scopes under scopes.<scopeName> can add stricter normal policy sections for the selector they list. agentIds supports tools, agents.workspace, sandbox, and dataHandling.memory; channelIds supports ingress.channels. Runtime agent ids that are not explicitly listed in agents.list[] are checked against inherited global/default posture rather than silently passing with no evidence. Every scope present in policy.jsonc must be valid and enforceable for its selector. Overlay rules are additional claims, so they do not weaken top-level policy and can produce their own findings when the same observed config violates both scopes.
