# OpenClaw → Echo-Core Migration Playbook > **Status: EXECUTED 2026-04-21 10:04 UTC.** See "Post-migration state" below. > This playbook is kept as a living reference for rollback + cleanup. Run this after the PR `feat/openclaw-consolidation-2026-04` has merged to master. Estimated downtime: 5–10 minutes. Rollback path at the bottom. --- ## Post-migration state (reference for rollback) **Migration date:** 2026-04-21 10:04 UTC **Downtime window:** ~2 minutes (10:02–10:04 UTC) ### Git SHAs - **Pre-migration master tip:** `4e78ef7` ("claude gstack") — rollback target if everything goes wrong. - **Post-merge master tip:** `d741541` ("test(dashboard): cover constants, git helper, cron endpoint, files sandbox") — last commit of the migration PR. - **Current origin/master:** moved forward as Marius tested dashboard commit button post-cutover. ### Backups - **`/home/moltbot/clawd-backup-2026-04-21/`** — full copy of `clawd/dashboard` (807K) + `clawd/memory` (11M) taken during pre-flight step 3. Keep until 2026-05-21. ### Services at cutover - `echo-core.service` — active (running), uses echo-core/.venv + echo-core paths - `echo-taskboard.service` — active (running), new unit at `~/.config/systemd/user/echo-taskboard.service`, WorkingDirectory=`/home/moltbot/echo-core/dashboard`, ExecStart=`.venv/bin/python3 api.py` - `echo-whatsapp-bridge.service` — active (running), unchanged - `openclaw-gateway.service` — **inactive + disabled**, credentials stripped ### Credentials stripped from `~/.openclaw/` - `credentials/` dir (Discord + Telegram + WhatsApp pairing) — deleted - `identity/` dir (device auth) — deleted - `devices/` dir (paired devices) — deleted - `agents/*/agent/auth-profiles.json` (20 files) — deleted - `agents/*/sessions/sessions.json` (20 files) — deleted - **Preserved:** `cron/jobs.json` (+bak) as audit artifact; `openclaw.json` (main config, no known secrets); npm `lib/` (harmless). ### What's enabled after migration - **Shell jobs (5):** `anaf-monitor`, `security-audit-daily`, `kb-index-refresh`, `archive-tasks-daily`, `backup-config` — all enabled - **Claude jobs enabled (2):** `newsletter-test`, `heartbeat-2h` - **Claude jobs disabled (13):** morning-report, evening-report, morning-coaching, evening-coaching, weekly-planning-sun, content-discovery, provocare-reminder, exercise-snack-1/2/3, grup-sprijin-5feb, grup-sprijin-pregatire — ready to enable after Marius reviews each ### Crontab - `0 2 * * * /home/moltbot/echo-core/tools/backup_config.sh` (was clawd) - `10 14 * * 4,5,1 ... check_newsletter_cercetasi.py` (unchanged) - `0 9 21 5 * ...` — **May 21 2026 cleanup reminder** (writes to `$HOME/REMINDER-openclaw-cleanup.txt` and appends to `logs/migration-reminder.log`) ### Verification PASS - ANAF `status.json.anaf.lastCheck` moved from **03 Apr 2026, 22:07** → **21 Apr 2026, 10:04** with 3 real changes detected on first manual trigger. - `GSTACK-CRON: changes=3` marker emitted correctly; scheduler↔anaf contract verified. - `/api/cron` returns 7 jobs (enabled shell + claude). - `/api/agents` and `/api/activity` return 404 (removed as planned). - Dashboard /api/status OK. --- --- ## Pre-flight (read-only) 1. Confirm clean git state on echo-core master: ``` cd /home/moltbot/echo-core && git status ``` 2. Verify tests pass: ``` cd /home/moltbot/echo-core source .venv/bin/activate && pytest tests/ -x ``` 3. Backup: ``` cp -rp /home/moltbot/clawd/dashboard /home/moltbot/clawd-backup-$(date +%Y-%m-%d)/ cp -rp /home/moltbot/clawd/memory /home/moltbot/clawd-backup-$(date +%Y-%m-%d)/memory ``` ## Legacy consumer grep (decide on compat symlink) 4. Check whether anything still reads clawd/memory: ``` grep -rn 'clawd/memory' /home/moltbot/{bin,.config,.openclaw} 2>/dev/null grep -rn 'clawd/memory' /home/moltbot/echo-core 2>/dev/null ``` - If empty → skip **step 11** (no compat symlink needed). - If non-empty → keep **step 11**. ## Stop services 5. ``` systemctl --user stop echo-core echo-taskboard echo-whatsapp-bridge openclaw-gateway ``` ## Copy ANAF live state 6. ``` cp -rp /home/moltbot/clawd/tools/anaf-monitor/{hashes.json,versions.json,monitor.log} \ /home/moltbot/echo-core/tools/anaf-monitor/ 2>/dev/null cp -rp /home/moltbot/clawd/tools/anaf-monitor/snapshots \ /home/moltbot/echo-core/tools/anaf-monitor/ diff -r /home/moltbot/clawd/tools/anaf-monitor/snapshots \ /home/moltbot/echo-core/tools/anaf-monitor/snapshots ``` Diff should be empty (or only show new snapshots echo-core captured during testing). ## Dashboard migration 7. Delete echo-core dashboard placeholder content if any collisions, then: ``` cp -rp /home/moltbot/clawd/dashboard/{habits,issues,status,todos}.json \ /home/moltbot/echo-core/dashboard/ cp -rp /home/moltbot/clawd/dashboard/tests/ \ /home/moltbot/echo-core/dashboard/tests/ # Recreate the 4 dashboard symlinks pointing into echo-core: ln -sfn /home/moltbot/echo-core/memory /home/moltbot/echo-core/dashboard/memory ln -sfn /home/moltbot/echo-core/conversations /home/moltbot/echo-core/dashboard/conversations # create conversations/ first if you want this ln -sfn /home/moltbot/echo-core/memory/kb /home/moltbot/echo-core/dashboard/notes-data ln -sfn /home/moltbot/echo-core/memory/kb/youtube /home/moltbot/echo-core/dashboard/youtube-notes ``` ## Memory inversion 8. `rm /home/moltbot/echo-core/memory` *(removes symlink only, not target)* 9. `cp -rp /home/moltbot/clawd/memory /home/moltbot/echo-core/memory` 10. `diff -rq /home/moltbot/clawd/memory /home/moltbot/echo-core/memory` *(verify identical)* 11. *(only if step 4 found consumers)* ``` mv /home/moltbot/clawd/memory /home/moltbot/clawd/memory.old-2026-04 ln -s /home/moltbot/echo-core/memory /home/moltbot/clawd/memory ``` 12. `rm -rf /home/moltbot/echo-core/memory.bak` *(leftover, safe to delete)* ## Systemd 13. Copy the template into place: ``` cp /home/moltbot/echo-core/dashboard/echo-taskboard.service \ /home/moltbot/.config/systemd/user/echo-taskboard.service systemctl --user daemon-reload ``` ## Crontab 14. ``` bash /home/moltbot/echo-core/scripts/update_crontab.sh ``` ## Decommission OpenClaw 15. `systemctl --user stop openclaw-gateway` 16. `systemctl --user disable openclaw-gateway` 17. Strip credentials from `~/.openclaw/` but keep `jobs.json.bak`: ``` cd /home/moltbot/.openclaw find . -name 'auth*' -o -name '*token*' -o -name '*.secret' | xargs rm -v 2>/dev/null ls -la agents/*/ # inspect for any remaining secrets, delete manually ``` 18. **Note:** schedule a reminder for 2026-05-21 to `rm -rf /home/moltbot/.openclaw` entirely if nothing was restored. ## Restart 19. `systemctl --user start echo-core echo-taskboard echo-whatsapp-bridge` 20. `systemctl --user status echo-core echo-taskboard echo-whatsapp-bridge` — all **active (running)**. 21. `systemctl --user status openclaw-gateway` — **inactive (dead)**. ## Verification 22. `curl -s http://localhost:8088/api/status` → `{"status":"ok",...}` 23. Visit `https://moltbot.tailf7372d.ts.net/echo/` — home page loads. 24. `/api/cron` panel populated with echo-core jobs (anaf-monitor, morning-report, etc). 25. `/api/agents` returns 404 (removed). 26. Click **Commit** in `index.html` — creates commit on echo-core repo. 27. Manually trigger anaf monitor: ``` cd /home/moltbot/echo-core && .venv/bin/python3 tools/anaf-monitor/monitor_v2.py ``` Verify `status.json` updates **and** stdout ends with `GSTACK-CRON: changes=N`. 28. Wait for first scheduled anaf-monitor trigger (10:00 or 16:00 Mon-Fri). Check `echo-core.log` for execution. --- ## Rollback path (if anything breaks badly) **Concrete values for this migration (executed 2026-04-21):** ``` # Stop current services systemctl --user stop echo-core echo-taskboard echo-whatsapp-bridge # Restore memory directory rm -rf /home/moltbot/echo-core/memory cp -rp /home/moltbot/clawd-backup-2026-04-21/memory /home/moltbot/clawd/memory ln -s /home/moltbot/clawd/memory /home/moltbot/echo-core/memory # Restore dashboard source (symlinks will come back with it) cp -rp /home/moltbot/clawd-backup-2026-04-21/dashboard /home/moltbot/clawd/dashboard # Restore old systemd unit (paths back to clawd/dashboard + /usr/bin/python3) cat > ~/.config/systemd/user/echo-taskboard.service <<'EOF' [Unit] Description=Echo Task Board API After=network.target [Service] Type=simple WorkingDirectory=/home/moltbot/clawd/dashboard ExecStart=/usr/bin/python3 /home/moltbot/clawd/dashboard/api.py Restart=always RestartSec=5 [Install] WantedBy=default.target EOF # Revert git to pre-migration state git -C /home/moltbot/echo-core reset --hard 4e78ef7 # Restore crontab backup_config line (sed in reverse) crontab -l | sed -E 's#/home/moltbot/echo-core/tools/backup_config\.sh#/home/moltbot/clawd/tools/backup_config.sh#g' | crontab - # Re-enable openclaw (credentials are GONE — you'll need to re-pair Discord/Telegram/WhatsApp) systemctl --user enable openclaw-gateway systemctl --user daemon-reload # Restart everything systemctl --user start echo-core echo-taskboard echo-whatsapp-bridge openclaw-gateway ``` **Note:** After rollback, OpenClaw credentials are gone (stripped during migration). Re-pairing requires going through OpenClaw's pairing flows for Discord/Telegram/WhatsApp. If you want clean rollback without losing pairing, do the rollback within the 30-day window **before** running the May 21 cleanup reminder. --- ## Notes - **Cron schedules are Bucharest local time**, not UTC. - **Most imported claude jobs arrive DISABLED** — enable them via `eco` / dashboard once you've verified each one produces the expected output. - `heartbeat-2h` is the **only imported claude job that stays enabled** (preserving its state from OpenClaw). - The 5 shell jobs (anaf-monitor, security-audit-daily, kb-index-refresh, archive-tasks-daily, backup-config) start **enabled** on day one.
