# OpenClaw → Echo-Core Migration Playbook > **⚠️ This document should NOT be run by an AI agent.** > Marius runs it by hand, one step at a time, verifying between steps. > Each step has a "before" and "after" state. Never batch. Run this after the PR `feat/openclaw-consolidation-2026-04` has merged to master. Estimated downtime: 5–10 minutes. Rollback path at the bottom. --- ## 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) ``` systemctl --user stop echo-core echo-taskboard echo-whatsapp-bridge rm -rf /home/moltbot/echo-core/memory cp -rp /home/moltbot/clawd-backup-YYYY-MM-DD/memory /home/moltbot/clawd/memory # restore ln -s /home/moltbot/clawd/memory /home/moltbot/echo-core/memory # restore symlink # Restore old systemd unit from git history in clawd repo if available, else rewrite manually. git -C /home/moltbot/echo-core checkout master # revert to pre-merge state systemctl --user daemon-reload systemctl --user start echo-core echo-taskboard echo-whatsapp-bridge systemctl --user start openclaw-gateway # if wanted ``` --- ## 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.
