v0.2.5 — OpenClaw Auto-Detection, Init Rewrite, Server Overhaul

This release transforms the first-run experience: taskmeld init now auto-detects a local OpenClaw installation, offers one-click install if missing, and guides users through Gateway configuration — no more manual setup. The server startup is rewritten to run foreground-first with automatic local Gateway lifecycle management.

Added

• OpenClaw local detection and management — New src/openclaw/ module:
  • openclaw-detector.ts: Detect local OpenClaw installation, version, and config path
  • openclaw-installer.ts: One-click install via npm install -g openclaw@latest
  • openclaw-gateway.ts: Gateway start/stop/status management and health polling
  • openclaw-types.ts: Type definitions for detection results and config schema
• Init orchestrator (src/init/): Rewritten interactive setup flow with branching logic:
  • Auto-detect local OpenClaw → auto-connect if running with token
  • Three paths on missing install: auto-install, remote Gateway, manual
  • Optional model configuration delegation to openclaw configure
• Non-interactive init modes: --auto-install, --remote <url>, --skip-model-config flags for CI/CD
• Server runtime client: Foreground-first server startup with startup lock, health polling, and ownership probing
• 10 new test files (~1400 lines) covering Wevra loop/executor/memory/registry/permissions, pipeline readiness, OpenClaw detector, CLI enhanced init, and LLM client stream

Changed

• Server start rewrite: taskmeld server start now runs in foreground; auto-starts local OpenClaw Gateway when installed locally
• Init command rewrite: From simple Gateway connection prompt to full orchestration with detection, installation, and branching user choices
• UI prompts: Added numberedSelectPrompt, maskedFieldPrompt for init flow
• Localization: New translation keys for init flow (en/zh.json +61 each)
• README overhaul: Updated architecture diagram, prerequisites, install flow, quick start, directory structure, and roadmap to reflect OpenClaw management capabilities
• Version bumped to 0.2.5

Fixed

• Gateway connect errors: Retryable connection failures treated as transport errors, properly propagated up
• Init remote config: Remote Gateway URL/Token saved without requiring live connection validation
• Security: API and Vite dev server restricted to 127.0.0.1 only, no longer binding to 0.0.0.0
• Server process group: Cleaner daemon lifecycle management
