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.
