ORCHESTRATOR Handoff

Role

Own requirements alignment, task decomposition, dependency tracking, and final acceptance.

Current Objective

Coordinate freshly authorized G2 execution strictly under docs/G2_RUNBOOK.md: T13 has recorded a fresh PASS, T9 uses a user-run local PowerShell token/node model, and T10 remains blocked until T9 evidence provides one matching non-secret request/node ID.

Must Read

• AGENT_BOARD.md
• OPENCLAW_EXEC_NODE_PLAN.md from the PC workspace if available
• All role handoff files relevant to active tasks

Current State

• Standalone Gitea repository: https://git.smartmotor.cloud/wangzhendong/openclaw-control-plane.git.
• PC local path: D:\openclaw-control-plane.
• VPS target path: /home/ubuntu/openclaw-control-plane.
• Access mode: HTTPS.
• Default branch: main.
• G0A collaboration mechanism is complete: the user confirmed agent roles, Git polling MVP, sync-health handling, USER_STATUS.md as user entry, and non-mutation/freeze boundaries.
• G0B OpenClaw system requirements are complete: QQ and phone Control UI are current-stage control entries, VPS Gateway is the always-on hub, DeepSeek may trigger white-listed actions, Windows PC is the main execution node, Tailscale is optional, and G2/G3/G4 acceptance criteria are frozen.
• G1 baseline is complete: PC and VPS baseline evidence were accepted by independent verifiers.
• Strict smartmotor.cloud website freeze is a hard requirement during filing review.
• Communication MVP uses polling Git sync scripts in sync/ and task files in tasks/.
• USER_STATUS.md is the user-facing status entry; internal agent ledgers should not be required reading for the user.
• Fresh second G2 authorization was received and reconfirmed for ORCHESTRATOR in D:\openclaw-control-plane on 2026-05-19.
• docs/G2_RUNBOOK.md has been prepared as the G2 execution-before-action runbook. It does not authorize execution by itself.
• Sync-health is currently cleared for T9: latest tracked PC and VPS heartbeats are clean and within the 5-minute threshold, and no sync-state/error-*.md files are observed in the latest control-plane snapshot.
• T2.1 and T8 are now treated as complete control-plane setup work; G2 is In Progress under the limited runbook scope.
• The polling sync is intentionally temporary; design an async notification/coordinator layer when PC/VPS baseline work is stable.
• Filing-review freeze path wording has been corrected from the obsolete single docker-composite.yml reference to /opt/services/docker-compose.openclaw.yml plus any equivalent compose/service entries that could affect public website output.

Next Actions

1. Keep USER_STATUS.md current when gate, blocker, heartbeat, or required user decision changes.
2. Keep T7/CORRECTION monitoring active for sync-health, drift, missing evidence, and freeze-policy risk.
3. Keep CORRECTION monitoring T13 for sync/secret/freeze guardrails during T9.
4. Let PC_EXECUTOR claim T9, confirm or refresh rollback/pc-g2-node-run-YYYYMMDD.md, give the user the dedicated local PowerShell command template, and collect only non-secret status from the user-run foreground node flow in docs/G2_RUNBOOK.md.
5. Keep T10 blocked until T9 evidence includes a matching non-secret pairing request ID or pending node ID.
6. Continue forbidding service persistence, openclaw node install/start, Nginx/Docker/website changes, firewall/network changes, G3 smoke test, G4 setup, and recording any token or secret.

Open Questions

• When will T9 produce a matching non-secret pairing request ID or pending node ID for possible T10 approval?
• When should the Git polling MVP be upgraded to webhook, Issues, OpenClaw events, or Cursor SDK based coordination?

Last Update

2026-05-19 17:05 UTC+8: ORCHESTRATOR corrected the T9 token execution model, without executing G2.

• Repeated T9 blocked states were caused by an invalid assumption that the Agent shell could safely receive OPENCLAW_GATEWAY_TOKEN from a separate user PowerShell session.
• Corrected model: the user sets OPENCLAW_GATEWAY_TOKEN and runs foreground openclaw node run in a dedicated local PC PowerShell terminal.
• PC_EXECUTOR must not request, read, print, record, or handle the token and does not need to run openclaw node run in the Agent shell.
• PC_EXECUTOR should confirm or refresh rollback guidance, provide the user command template, warn not to send the token to chat/files, then collect only non-secret status and any non-secret pairing request ID or pending node ID.
• docs/G2_RUNBOOK.md, tasks/T9-G2-PC-node-run.md, and USER_STATUS.md were updated to reflect this model.
• T9 is ready for the user-manual token and foreground node step. T10 remains blocked until T9 produces one matching non-secret pairing request/node ID.
• ORCHESTRATOR did not execute PC/VPS commands, did not handle a token, did not start a node, did not approve pairing, and did not change services.

2026-05-19 16:52 UTC+8: ORCHESTRATOR reconciled T9 task-file state with the existing release, without executing G2.

• git pull returned already up to date.
• G2 remains authorized and AGENT_BOARD.md shows G2 In Progress.
• CORRECTION fresh T13 PASS remains effective: no newer stop condition was found, PC/VPS heartbeats are clean and within the 5-minute threshold, and no tracked sync-state/error-*.md files were observed.
• Current tracked sync heartbeats: PC 2026-05-19T16:52:56+08:00, VPS 2026-05-19T16:52:26+0800.
• PC_EXECUTOR stopped at 16:49 because tasks/T9-G2-PC-node-run.md still showed top-level blocked and contained the 16:39 blocker.
• tasks/T9-G2-PC-node-run.md top-level status was corrected to ready, and the 16:39 blocker was marked covered by the current fresh guard/release while preserving same-session token requirements.
• ORCHESTRATOR did not execute PC/VPS commands, did not handle a token, did not start a node, and did not approve pairing.

2026-05-19 16:31 UTC+8: ORCHESTRATOR released T9 based on CORRECTION fresh T13 PASS, without executing G2.

• git pull returned already up to date.
• G2 remains authorized and AGENT_BOARD.md shows G2 In Progress.
• CORRECTION recorded fresh T13 PASS at 2026-05-19 16:29 UTC+8 for sync/secret/role/freeze/config risks.
• Current tracked sync heartbeats are clean and within the 5-minute threshold: PC 2026-05-19T16:31:42+08:00, VPS 2026-05-19T16:31:06+0800.
• sync-state/ contains README.md, heartbeat-pc.json, and heartbeat-vps.json; no tracked error-*.md files were observed.
• AGENT_BOARD.md and tasks/T9-G2-PC-node-run.md were updated so T9 is Ready.
• T10 remains Blocked until T9 produces one matching non-secret pairing request ID or pending node ID.
• ORCHESTRATOR did not execute PC/VPS commands, did not handle a token, did not start a node, and did not approve pairing.

2026-05-19 16:24 UTC+8: ORCHESTRATOR reconciled G2 execution state without executing G2.

• git pull returned already up to date.
• tasks/T13-G2-correction-guard.md and handoff/CORRECTION.md contain a prior 14:50 pre-flight PASS, but no fresh current PASS after PC_EXECUTOR's 16:20 stop.
• Current tracked sync heartbeats are clean but stale for the 5-minute blocked threshold: PC 2026-05-19T16:18:46+08:00, VPS 2026-05-19T16:18:22+0800.
• sync-state/ contains README.md, heartbeat-pc.json, and heartbeat-vps.json; no tracked error-*.md files were observed.
• tasks/T9-G2-PC-node-run.md is already blocked because token was not available in the same non-persistent local shell session and openclaw node run was not executed.
• AGENT_BOARD.md was corrected so T9 is Blocked pending fresh T13 PASS and healthy sync. T10 remains Blocked pending one matching non-secret T9 pairing request/node ID.
• ORCHESTRATOR did not execute PC/VPS commands, did not handle a token, did not start a node, and did not approve pairing.

2026-05-19 12:27 UTC+8: ORCHESTRATOR took over after role-misdirection audit and paused G2 execution.

• VPS_VERIFIER self-reported that prompts intended for ORCHESTRATOR were mistakenly sent to VPS_VERIFIER.
• CORRECTION found cross-role control-plane edits from VPS-origin commits but no evidence of live G2 approval, token handling, service restart/reload, Gateway config mutation, Nginx/Docker/website mutation, or secret leak.
• ORCHESTRATOR adopts docs/G2_RUNBOOK.md as planning material only, but corrects the active state: G2 is Pending, T9/T10/T13 are blocked, and fresh explicit user authorization is required before any G2 execution.
• No PC/VPS command was executed by ORCHESTRATOR during this correction.

2026-05-19 12:34 UTC+8: Generated docs/G2_AUTHORIZATION_CARD.md.

• Confirmed current target role is ORCHESTRATOR and workspace is D:\openclaw-control-plane.
• Confirmed G2 is paused/pending and old authorization must not be reused.
• Confirmed tracked sync-health is healthy: PC and VPS heartbeats are clean and no sync-state/error-*.md files were observed.
• No PC/VPS command was executed, no token was handled, no node was started, and no VPS approval was performed.

2026-05-19 12:37 UTC+8: Fresh second G2 authorization received in the correct target window/workspace.

• Target role/workspace confirmed: ORCHESTRATOR in D:\openclaw-control-plane.
• Sync-health confirmed healthy by tracked files: PC and VPS heartbeats are clean, and no sync-state/error-*.md files were observed.
• G2 moved to In Progress under the limited runbook scope.
• T13 and T9 are ready; T10 remains blocked until T9 evidence provides a matching non-secret request/node ID.
• ORCHESTRATOR did not execute PC/VPS commands, did not handle a token, did not start a node, and did not approve pairing.

2026-05-19 14:44 UTC+8: Fresh second G2 authorization was repeated in the correct target window/workspace.

• Target role/workspace confirmed again: ORCHESTRATOR in D:\openclaw-control-plane.
• Sync-health confirmed healthy again by tracked files: PC and VPS heartbeats are clean, and no sync-state/error-*.md files were observed.
• Existing state remains correct: G2 In Progress, T13/T9 Ready, T10 Blocked until T9 evidence provides a matching non-secret request/node ID.
• ORCHESTRATOR did not execute PC/VPS commands, did not handle a token, did not start a node, and did not approve pairing.

2026-05-19 12:16 UTC+8: Prior G2 authorization record is superseded by the 12:27 role-misdirection correction.

• Previously recorded allowed scope: foreground PC node run and corresponding VPS pairing approval under docs/G2_RUNBOOK.md.
• Current corrected state: this authorization is paused and must not be used for execution without fresh explicit user confirmation.
• T9/T10/T13 are blocked.
• G2 quality gate is Pending, not in progress and not accepted.
• No PC/VPS command was executed by ORCHESTRATOR, no token was handled, no node was started here, no VPS approval was performed here, and no service was modified.

2026-05-19 12:11 UTC+8: Completed G2 authorization-before-execution control-plane cleanup.

• docs/G2_RUNBOOK.md is complete as the G2 pre-execution runbook.
• USER_STATUS.md was refreshed with current sync-health snapshot and states that G2 is not authorized.
• AGENT_BOARD.md keeps G2 Pending and marks T2.1/T8 Done.
• Filing freeze references now use /opt/services/docker-compose.openclaw.yml and any equivalent website-affecting compose/service entries, instead of relying on the obsolete single docker-composite.yml path.
• No PC/VPS command was executed, no token was handled, no node was started, no VPS approval was performed, and no service was modified.
• Next step: wait for explicit user authorization before opening G2 execution tasks.

Frozen G0B Summary

• QQ is included in the current stage as a primary natural-language entry.
• Phone Control UI must be able to start basic tasks, show status/results, and approve high-risk actions.
• VPS OpenClaw Gateway is the always-on hub for device connection, routing, approval flow, state aggregation, and audit.
• DeepSeek may understand, split, and autonomously trigger white-listed actions. High-risk or non-white-listed actions require human approval.
• Windows PC is the main execution node and may perform broad user-level local execution.
• PC system-level changes, service installation, network/firewall changes, and large destructive file operations require human approval and rollback notes.
• Tailscale is optional for administration, troubleshooting, and private-path enhancement. It is not a G2 prerequisite.
• G2/G3/G4 acceptance criteria are recorded in AGENT_BOARD.md.

G2 Planning State

• T9: PC foreground node run, ready after fresh T13 PASS with healthy sync; user performs token setup and foreground node run in a dedicated local PC PowerShell terminal, while PC_EXECUTOR records only non-secret status.
• T10: VPS pairing approval, blocked until T9 evidence.
• T11: PC G2 verification, draft.
• T12: VPS G2 verification and freeze compliance, draft.
• T13: G2 correction guard, ready.
• Authorization judgment: fresh second authorization is valid only for the G2 runbook scope and expires if sync blocks, role/workspace mismatches, secrets appear, pairing identity is ambiguous, steps drift from the runbook, or freeze risk appears.

Session Freeze - 2026-05-19 14:46 UTC+8

Current phase: G2 limited foreground pairing is authorized under docs/G2_RUNBOOK.md.

Completed:

• G0A, G0B, and G1 accepted.
• Role-misdirection recovery completed and second G2 authorization reconfirmed.
• G2 control plane opened only for T13 and T9.

Blocked:

• T10 remains blocked until T9 evidence contains one matching non-secret pairing request/node ID.
• G3 smoke test and G4 persistence remain closed.

Safety constraints:

• Do not record secrets or OPENCLAW_GATEWAY_TOKEN.
• Do not run openclaw node install/start.
• Do not perform service persistence, service restart, Nginx/Docker/website/firewall/network changes, or public port exposure.

Next owner: PC_EXECUTOR for T9, with CORRECTION monitoring T13.

Single next action: PC_EXECUTOR claims T9, confirms or refreshes rollback/pc-g2-node-run-YYYYMMDD.md, gives the user the dedicated local PowerShell command template, then records only non-secret status from the user-run foreground node flow in docs/G2_RUNBOOK.md.
