Problem

Currently, only /root/.clawdbot/ and /root/clawd/skills/ are synced to R2 for persistence. This means agent workspace files are lost on container restart:

  • memory/ (agent memory/notes)
  • TOOLS.md (local tool configuration)
  • tov/ (tone of voice docs)
  • Any other custom directories the agent creates

This is particularly painful for agents that rely on persistent memory across sessions.

Solution

Add the full workspace (/root/clawd/) to the R2 sync:

sync.ts:

  • Added rsync for /root/clawd/ → R2/clawd/
  • Excludes .git, node_modules, and temp files

start-moltbot.sh:

  • Added restore logic for workspace from R2/clawd/
  • Workspace restore runs before the legacy skills restore

Backwards Compatibility

The legacy /skills/ path is preserved for backwards compatibility with existing R2 backups that only have the skills directory.

Testing

  1. Deploy with this change
  2. Create files in /root/clawd/ (e.g., memory/test.md)
  3. Wait for sync (5 min cron) or trigger manually
  4. Restart container
  5. Verify files are restored

Fixes agent memory loss on container restart.

Previously, only /root/.clawdbot/ and /root/clawd/skills/ were synced
to R2 for persistence. This meant agent workspace files like memory/,
TOOLS.md, and other custom directories were lost on container restart.

Changes:
- sync.ts: Add rsync for /root/clawd/ -> R2/clawd/
- start-moltbot.sh: Add restore for workspace from R2/clawd/

The legacy /skills/ path is preserved for backwards compatibility
with existing backups.

Fixes agent memory loss on container restart.

feat: implement full workspace backup to R2
fec1b83 
Add complete backup of /root/clawd/ workspace (including memory, TOOLS.md, tov, etc) to R2,
not just skills. This prevents data loss on container restart.

Changes:
- Add rsync of /root/clawd/ → R2 /clawd/ in sync.ts
- Restore full workspace from R2 in start-moltbot.sh before legacy skills restore
- Update tests to verify workspace backup is included
- Remove unused mkdir -p /config from sync.ts

This implements PR cloudflare#88 from upstream cloudflare/moltworker.

fix: add .git and node_modules exclusions to workspace rsync
db8dbd5 
Exclude .git and node_modules from /root/clawd/ backup to R2 to avoid
syncing large unnecessary files. Aligns with PR cloudflare#88 upstream.

- .git can be gigabytes for repos with long history
- node_modules is hundreds of MB and easily regenerated

Add implementation roadmap for bringing moltworker to working state
761d097 
Concrete spec covering:
- Phase 1: Workspace persistence fix (Issue cloudflare#102/PR cloudflare#88) and
  Telegram/Discord DM config crash (Issue cloudflare#57/PR cloudflare#99)
- Phase 2: OAuth token + authenticated AI Gateway (PR cloudflare#81)
- Phase 3: Setup automation (already implemented)
- Phase 4: Future items (openclaw rename, Terraform, etc.)

Includes file-by-file change list, implementation order, and
success criteria.

Fix workspace persistence, DM config crash, and add OAuth/Gateway auth
b11973f 
Phase 1 — Critical bug fixes:
- Extend R2 sync to include full /root/clawd/ workspace, not just
  skills. Fixes Issue cloudflare#102 where agent memory, identity, and workspace
  templates are lost on container restart. (ref: PR cloudflare#88)
- Fix Telegram/Discord DM config crash by removing invalid `dm`
  sub-object. Uses flat `dmPolicy` property as OpenClaw expects.
  Adds `allowFrom: ['*']` for open DM policy. (ref: PR cloudflare#99, Issue cloudflare#57)
- Clean up stale `dm` objects from configs written by previous versions.

Phase 2 — Provider fixes:
- Support ANTHROPIC_OAUTH_TOKEN for Claude Pro/Max subscriptions.
- Reverse AI Gateway key precedence: direct provider keys now take
  priority; gateway key is passed as AI_GATEWAY_API_KEY for use in
  cf-aig-authorization header (BYOK authenticated gateway). (ref: PR cloudflare#81)
- Add cf-aig-authorization header to provider configs in start-moltbot.sh.

All 66 tests pass, typecheck clean.
