Safe OpenClaw Restart and Update via Telegram

Safe OpenClaw Restart and Update via Telegram is an operations skill for running OpenClaw restarts and updates safely from Telegram.

The core problem it solves is simple: raw lifecycle commands can interrupt the exact session that requested them. Instead of running risky direct commands, this package launches detached lifecycle flows, tracks durable run state, and returns a clear final result after the gateway comes back.

The package is OpenClaw-specific and is designed first for Telegram-based operator workflows. Automatic callback reporting back into the originating Telegram topic is validated. Other chat surfaces can still use the same safe lifecycle pattern and exact status-helper fallback, but Telegram is the primary proven callback path right now. Safe restart is designed for macOS LaunchAgent-based OpenClaw environments.

This package includes:

• safe detached update workflow
• safe detached restart workflow
• automatic Telegram follow-up delivery
• status helpers with timing guards
• install script
• agent instruction snippets
• compatibility, troubleshooting, verification, and example transcript references
• smoke test for install verification
