+## Daemon Restart → OpenClaw Sync Implementation
+
+Started implementation of a new feature to keep OpenClaw and Signet daemon restarts in sync. PR #114 (fix/memory-plugin-error-reporting) was closed because it violated the codebase's "result types over exceptions" convention and didn't address the actual goal Jake described—syncing openclaw restarts with daemon restarts.
+
+The implementation adds OpenClaw restart detection and prompting to the CLI restart flow. When `signet daemon restart` runs, the CLI now detects if OpenClaw is configured, prompts the user to restart it as well, and optionally executes a configured restart command.
+
+Key design decisions:
+- Services config lives in AgentManifest as an optional `services.openclaw` block
+- User configures restart command in `~/.agents/agent.yaml` under `services.openclaw.restart_command`
+- Two helper functions: `isOpenClawDetected()` (uses existing OpenClawConnector.getDiscoveredConfigPaths()) and `restartOpenClaw()` (executes command with 15s timeout via spawnSync)
+- Added `--no-openclaw` flag to both daemon restart and top-level restart commands
+- Graceful degradation: no prompt if OpenClaw not detected, shows config instructions if detected but not configured
+
+Files modified: `packages/core/src/types.ts` (add services config) and `packages/cli/src/cli.ts` (add helpers, modify doRestart and TUI restart case, add command options).
+
+Verification plan includes testing all scenarios: detection, configuration prompt, spinner feedback, and flag behavior.
