Bug: START_HERE recommends clawrtc npm CLI but package exposes no command #6515

Description

What I reviewed

  • START_HERE.md, Path 2: Miner / Start Mining
  • npm package metadata for clawrtc@1.6.0

Problem

START_HERE.md recommends installing the current wrapper with:

npm install -g clawrtc
clawrtc install --wallet YOUR_WALLET
clawrtc start --service

However, the published npm package does not appear to expose a CLI binary. npm view clawrtc --json shows package metadata for 1.6.0, but no bin entry. Running the package through npm exec also fails because the clawrtc command is not available.

Reproduction

npm view clawrtc bin scripts version --json
npm exec --yes --package clawrtc clawrtc -- --version

Actual result on Windows PowerShell:

npm view clawrtc bin scripts version --json
1.6.0

npm exec --yes --package clawrtc clawrtc -- --version
'clawrtc' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file.

Expected

Either:

  • the npm package should publish a bin entry so clawrtc install, clawrtc start, clawrtc status, and clawrtc logs work after npm install -g clawrtc; or
  • START_HERE.md should point users to the supported installer/manual Python miner flow instead of the npm CLI commands.

Why this matters

This is in the first-start path for miners. A newcomer following the recommended command can install the package successfully but then hit a missing command before they can start mining.
