Summary

  • Adds the onboarding wizard flow with the redesigned Connection page for Local, WSL, Remote, SSH, and Configure Later modes.
  • Replaces the previous external-style UI infrastructure with a tiny OpenClaw-owned OpenClawTray.FunctionalUI helper layer used by onboarding.
  • Keeps only the functional UI primitives the wizard needs: components, typed props, UseState, UseEffect, basic navigation, declarative element factories, and the minimal WinUI renderer.
  • Removes unused charting, data, markdown, devtools, validation, localization, input, animation, accessibility scanner, virtualization, and broad custom-control infrastructure.

Size reduction

  • Deleted src/OpenClawTray.Infrastructure: 157 files removed.
  • Added src/OpenClawTray.FunctionalUI: 1 C# implementation file plus project file.
  • Latest update diff: 177 files changed, 89 insertions, 48,675 deletions, net -48,586 lines.

Validation

  • ./build.ps1
  • dotnet test ./tests/OpenClaw.Shared.Tests/OpenClaw.Shared.Tests.csproj --no-restore --verbosity quiet
  • dotnet test ./tests/OpenClaw.Tray.Tests/OpenClaw.Tray.Tests.csproj --no-restore --verbosity quiet
  • Visual screenshot pass for Welcome, Connection, Wizard, Permissions, Chat, and Ready pages.

- OnboardingWindow: use ctx.UseState(state) in mount function for props persistence
- WelcomePage: remove duplicate lobster icon (OnboardingApp header has the persistent one)
- StepIndicator: Border(TextBlock('')) instead of Border(null!) to avoid runtime NullRef

Co-authored-by: Copilot <223556219+Copilot@users.noreply.github.com>
Nav bar fix:
- Fixed NavigationHost height to 520px so nav bar stays at consistent position
- All pages render within the same content area, nav bar never jumps
- Replaced Spring transition with 200ms Slide (prevents overlap on fast navigation)
- Compacted WelcomePage: merged security+trust cards, reduced font sizes
- Reduced GlowingIcon from 64px to 48px, tightened margins

Bug fixes:
- Fixed NullRef on first render (ctx.UseState for mount props persistence)
- Fixed duplicate lobster icon (removed from WelcomePage, kept in OnboardingApp header)
- Fixed Border(null!) crash in StepIndicator

Visual test framework:
- visual-test.ps1: P/Invoke window finding + UIAutomation button clicking
- Screenshot capture via PrintWindow/CopyFromScreen (note: GDI capture fails on Dev Box/Cloud PC)
- Baseline + after screenshots in visual-test-output/

Co-authored-by: Copilot <223556219+Copilot@users.noreply.github.com>
SlideInOnlyTransition (NavigationTransition.cs + TransitionEngine.cs):
- New transition type: instantly hides old page (opacity=0), slides+fades new in
- Direction auto-reverses on back nav (Push=right, Pop=left)
- 200ms duration with cubic-bezier easing
- Zero flicker — old page is invisible before new one starts animating

RenderTargetBitmap visual capture (OnboardingWindow.cs):
- In-app capture via WinUI RenderTargetBitmap API
- Works on Dev Box/Cloud PC (no physical display needed)
- Triggered by OPENCLAW_VISUAL_TEST=1 env var
- Auto-captures on initial load and every page navigation (PageChanged event)
- Saves PNGs to OPENCLAW_VISUAL_TEST_DIR
- All 6 pages validated via LLM visual analysis

OnboardingState.cs:
- Added PageChanged event for capture integration

All 145 tests pass. Full build clean.

…ned buttons

Changed PermissionRow from HStack to Grid with ['1*', 'Auto'] columns so
'Open Settings' buttons are consistently right-aligned and stacked vertically,
matching the pattern used in ConnectionPage.cs.

Co-authored-by: Copilot <223556219+Copilot@users.noreply.github.com>
Move status emojis (✅, ❌, ⚠️) from inline with permission name into
a dedicated Grid column 0 with Auto width. Changes the row Grid from
2 columns [1*, Auto] to 3 columns [Auto, 1*, Auto]:
- Column 0: Status emoji, fixed width, left-aligned
- Column 1: Permission icon + name + description, fills remaining
- Column 2: Open Settings button, right-aligned

This ensures all status emojis form a clean vertical line.

Checkpoint of in-progress work before merging origin/master to pick up
GatewayTopologyClassifier, SshTunnelCommandLine, SshTunnelService, and
updated SettingsWindow connection logic.

Includes:
- Permissions page alignment fixes
- ConnectionPage gateway auth + pairing flow
- New onboarding services (GatewayHealthCheck, InputValidator,
  LocalGatewayApprover, PermissionChecker, SetupCodeDecoder,
  WizardStepParser)
- Tests for those services
- Localization keys across 5 locales
- Inner-loop dev scripts and e2e helpers
- Onboarding + auth-fix proposal docs

Picks up upstream's GatewayTopologyClassifier (Models.cs),
SshTunnelCommandLine, updated SshTunnelService, updated GatewayUrlHelper,
updated SettingsWindow connection logic, and other recent changes
(WebView2 bridge, mission control parity, tray flyout polish, etc).

Conflicts resolved in:
- global.json (took upstream rollForward latestFeature)
- moltbot-windows-hub.slnx (kept Infrastructure project + upstream Tray platforms)
- App.xaml.cs (combined RequiresSetup() with OPENCLAW_FORCE_ONBOARDING env var; routed openclaw://setup deep link to onboarding)
- WebChatWindow.xaml.cs (took upstream native bridge changes)
- tests/OpenClaw.Tray.Tests.csproj (kept onboarding link-imports + upstream's Services link-imports)

Implements the redesigned Connection page from connection-page-mockup.html:

- Five gateway modes (was three): Local / WSL / Remote / SSH Tunnel /
  Configure Later. WSL and SSH are added to ConnectionMode and reuse
  the Local page-order in OnboardingState.GetPageOrder().
- Setup Code row gains explicit Paste and QR-import buttons in addition
  to the existing focus-paste behavior. QR decoding is extracted from
  SetupWizardWindow into a reusable Helpers/QrSetupCodeReader so it can
  be invoked from Reactor pages without depending on the wizard window.
- Animated SSH panel renders inline when SSH mode is selected: 2x2 grid
  of SSH User / Host / Remote Port / Local Port plus a live preview line
  generated via SshTunnelCommandLine.BuildArguments(...). Settings are
  written through to SettingsManager.SshTunnel*. App gains a
  EnsureSshTunnelStarted() shim so TestConnection can spin up the
  managed tunnel before health-checking ws://127.0.0.1:<localPort>.
- Topology detection line renders the GatewayTopologyClassifier output
  (DisplayName/Transport/Detail) live as the user changes modes / SSH
  fields, matching the mockup's '● Detected: ...' line.
- Page content is wrapped in a ScrollView and the onboarding window is
  resized to 720x900 to fit the additional rows in the SSH layout.
- App exposes GetOnboardingWindowHandle() so the QR FileOpenPicker can
  initialize against the onboarding HWND.
- Two new optional environment variables aid visual testing without
  requiring UI automation:
    * OPENCLAW_ONBOARDING_START_ROUTE = <OnboardingRoute name>
    * OPENCLAW_ONBOARDING_START_MODE  = <ConnectionMode name>

Adds new locale keys for the SSH/WSL/QR/Topology surface in all five
locales (en-us authoritative; fr-fr, nl-nl, zh-cn, zh-tw machine-
translated and flagged for human review in the PR description).

Adds tests/OpenClaw.Tray.Tests/ConnectionPageTopologyTests.cs covering:
- 5-mode page-order parity (Wsl/Ssh behave like Local).
- GatewayTopologyClassifier outputs for the canonical mode→URL mapping.
- SshTunnelCommandLine preview includes both forwards (gateway +
  browser-proxy +2) and validates user/host.

Validation (per AGENTS.md):
- ./build.ps1: all projects succeed.
- dotnet test Shared:  967 passed / 20 skipped / 0 failed.
- dotnet test Tray:    350 passed / 0 failed (8 new).
- Visual capture in OPENCLAW_VISUAL_TEST mode for both Local and SSH
  modes; matches mockup layout.

The fallback token was a dev-gateway secret that got flagged by GitHub secret scanning. Token now must come from WSL openclaw.json (preferred) or OPENCLAW_GATEWAY_TOKEN env var; the script fails fast if neither is available.

Note: the leaked token should be rotated by regenerating the dev gateway config in WSL.

🤖 This is an automated response from Repo Assist.

Welcome, @indierawk2k2! This is a substantial piece of work — a full Reactor-based onboarding wizard with 5 gateway modes, SSH panel, QR import, localization, and a solid test suite. Thank you for putting this together.

A few observations that might help the maintainer review:

Strengths:

  • Test counts look healthy: 967 Shared / 350 Tray (up from ~838/178 baseline) — the new ConnectionPageTopologyTests covering the topology classifier and SSH preview are a nice addition.
  • QrSetupCodeReader.Decode() extraction is a good reusability improvement.
  • The OPENCLAW_ONBOARDING_START_ROUTE / OPENCLAW_ONBOARDING_START_MODE env-var ergonomics are handy for CI.

Questions for maintainers to consider:

  1. Reactor adoption path (PR question Rename MoltBot to OpenClaw across entire codebase #2): Since this introduces OpenClawTray.Infrastructure, it would be worth deciding upfront whether Reactor will be adopted for other tray windows before merging — or whether this PR is intentionally scoped to onboarding only. The decision affects how reviewers should evaluate the new abstractions.

  2. SetupWizardWindow retention (PR question WinUI tray menu crashes in Microsoft.UI.Windowing.Core.dll after idle/interaction #3): The PR keeps the old window on disk as a rollback path, which is sensible. A follow-up cleanup PR once this is stable might be worth noting in the issue tracker.

  3. localhost binding: As of today, McpHttpServer only registers (127.0.0.1/redacted) — if the onboarding Connection page needs to test-connect via localhost:8765, it would 404 on Linux. PR #238 (just opened) fixes this by also registering (localhost/redacted) which may be relevant for the Test Connection flow on the new Connection page.

  4. Locale review: The machine-translated fr-fr / nl-nl / zh-cn / zh-tw strings are flagged — might be worth filing a follow-up issue so native speakers can track them.

Great contribution — looking forward to seeing this land!

…nel/DataGrid/PropertyGrid)

Per PR feedback: the tray only uses Core/Hosting/Navigation/Elements/Hooks/
Animation/Markdown/Accessibility/Input from the Reactor snap. Removed:
- Charting/ (D3 charts not used by onboarding)
- Data/ (datasource/grid binding not used)
- Yoga/ (FlexPanel not used; tray uses StackElement-based HStack/VStack)
- Controls/DataGrid (cascading: depends on Data+Charting)
- Controls/PropertyGrid (cascading: depends on Data)
- Pruned Yoga/FlexPanel hooks from Core/Element.cs, ElementPool.cs,
  Reconciler.Mount.cs, Reconciler.Update.cs, Elements/Dsl.cs, ElementExtensions.cs
- Pruned Charting hooks from Core/AccessibilityScanner.cs and Hosting/ReactorHost.cs
- Removed UseDataSource from Core/Component.cs
- Removed FieldDescriptor overload from Controls/Validation/FormField.cs
- Removed ResizeGripRegistration call sites (lived in DataGrid)

Build clean. Tray tests 350/350 pass. Shared tests 967/967 pass.
