config-guardianv1.0.4

OpenClaw gateway configuration files can become corrupted due to partial writes or faulty patches. Config-guardian monitors openclaw.json for changes and automatically reverts to the last valid baseline if validation fails, ensuring gateway stability without manual intervention.

In multi-tenant or production environments, unauthorized modifications to gateway config can cause service disruption. Config-guardian detects unexpected writes, increments a failure counter, and after 3 consecutive failures locks the file, blocking all further writes until an admin unlocks after verifying the fix.

Admins can quickly restore a specific prior configuration version when a recent update introduces issues. Config-guardian archives up to 7 valid baseline snapshots, enabling point-in-time recovery from its history directory.

After a successful config update or rollback, config-guardian sends a SIGUSR1 signal to the OpenClaw gateway process to trigger a hot-reload, applying changes without restarting the service and minimizing downtime.

Config-guardian records every operation with timestamps, event types, and process IDs to a persistent audit log. This aids in forensic analysis, compliance audits, and troubleshooting configuration-related incidents.
