PR fix notes

PR #67736: Fix: Added a typeof value === 'string' guard in setup-wizard-helpers.ts before calling .trim() on the prompter.text() result. Closes #67684

Description (problem / solution / changelog)

This PR fixes a TypeError crash during the OpenClaw onboard wizard.

Root cause: @clack/prompts text() can return undefined in edge cases. A prior commit removed String() wrappers around these return values, leaving direct .trim() calls vulnerable.

Fix: Added a typeof value === 'string' guard in setup-wizard-helpers.ts before calling .trim() on the prompter.text() result.

Fixes #67684

TL;DR

The issue may be resolved by re-running the openclaw onboard command after the initial error to apply the model switch changes.

Guidance

  • Verify that the openclaw installation is complete and successful by checking the output of the curl -fsSL https://openclaw.ai/install.sh | bash command.
  • Run the openclaw onboard command again after the initial error to see if it applies the model switch changes.
  • Check the model configuration to ensure that the openai codex model is properly set up and compatible with the latest version of openclaw.
  • Review the installation script (install.sh) for any potential issues or errors that may be causing the problem.

Notes

The lack of logs, screenshots, and additional information makes it difficult to provide a more specific solution. Further investigation and debugging may be necessary to fully resolve the issue.

Recommendation

Apply workaround: re-run the openclaw onboard command after the initial error, as this may allow the model switch changes to be applied.
