Root cause: portable zip was 1MB skeleton; first launch triggered
`npm install` of OpenClaw + 36 bundled deps on customer's USB drive.
On exFAT-formatted USB this hangs/takes 20+ minutes, gateway never
binds 18789, dashboard shows "Gateway 未启动".
Fix follows StanleyChanH/openclaw-offline-package pattern (153MB
single-platform zip, gateway starts directly):
- release.yml: only build Windows bundle (~150-200MB). Mac users
fall back to setup.sh. Reasoning: 99% of customers are Windows;
bundling 3 platforms × Node ~30MB + 3× node_modules dedup pain
is what blew the previous attempt past GitHub's 2GB cap (see
5916ff5 history). Smaller scope = simpler + safer.
- Windows-Start.bat / Mac-Start.command: warn if node_modules
missing; fallback `npm install` adds --ignore-scripts --no-audit
--no-fund for speed.
- Release notes: NTFS U-disk recommendation.
Lessons applied (from 5916ff5):
- Stay on linux runner with --ignore-scripts (Stanley pattern)
- Drop mac-x64 / mac-arm64 Node from bundle (setup.sh handles Mac)
- rm -rf node-llama-cpp / sharp / canvas explicitly
- Hard size guard: fail CI if zip > 1500MB (buffer below 2GB cap)
Three changes for v2.1.2:
1. bootstrap-xiapan now writes "agents.defaults.model.primary/fallbacks"
(uclaw-cloud/deepseek-v4-flash + 3 fallbacks) and an empty models[],
matching the ClawX commercial schema. Lets OpenClaw runtime auto-discover
models from /v1/models instead of hard-coding a list that drifts.
2. config-server tries ports 18788..18798 with EADDRINUSE fallback and
persists the live port to data/.openclaw/runtime.json so future tooling
can discover it. Fixes silent failure when a second portable instance
started while 18788 was occupied.
3. u-claw-app/package.json version 2.0.0 -> 2.1.2 so .exe/.dmg filenames
align with the release tag.
OpenClaw 2026.4.29 renamed the per-model field from "label" to "name". The
old field is now an Unrecognized key, which fails schema validation at
gateway startup and exits OpenClaw before any HTTP listener binds.
Symptom (v2.1.0 first-launch):
- models.providers.uclaw-cloud.models.0.name: Invalid input: expected string, received undefined
- models.providers.uclaw-cloud.models.0: Unrecognized key: "label"
- throwInvalidConfig() at io-DaEsZ_NY.js:2901 -> process exit
Found via end-to-end H: drive test of v2.1.0 portable zip.
Two real bugs in the portable launchers:
1. Windows-Install.bat: xcopy reads from %TEMP%\node-<ver>-win-x64
but Expand-Archive extracts into %TEMP%\node-extract\node-<ver>-win-x64.
Result: empty runtime\node-win-x64\ on networked install path.
2. Mac-Start.command + Windows-Start.bat: legacy-config sync block
was placed AFTER the default-config block, so the "config.json
exists but openclaw.json doesn't" branch was unreachable. Existing
USB users with config.json never got their settings migrated;
they got the empty default instead.
Reordered so legacy migration runs first, default only as fallback.

When users run setup.ps1 from PowerShell with cwd outside the repo
(e.g. C:\Users\Admin>), npm 11 walks up looking for package.json and
errors with ENOENT before honoring --prefix. setup.bat already pushd's
into core; setup.ps1 was missing the equivalent Push-Location guard.
Fixes#27 (setup.ps1 ENOENT package.json reported by lawler-code).

Mac-Menu, Mac-Diagnose, and Windows-Diagnose were missing the
core-mac/core-win → core migration shim, causing them to fail
on existing USB drives that still have the old directory name.
- Delete usb-scripts/, Linux-*.sh, setup-linux-usb.sh, migrate.js
- Rename core-mac/core-win → core (with migration shims for existing USBs)
- Fix Mac-Menu.command ARM64 hardcode — now detects Intel/Apple Silicon
- setup.sh: remove Linux branch, Windows download only with --all-platforms
- Update README.md and CLAUDE.md to reflect Mac + Windows only
Replaces the problematic file:// protocol Config.html with a stable
Node.js HTTP server following industry standard patterns (n8n, Langflow).
