extensibility on the doctors checks we run so that we can do custom environment specific checks to identify issues with the setup before hand and have it protentially fixed as well by a --fix command.

Root Cause

this becomes quite fragile for and I just got hit with errors like “access not configured” in what should have been the main/root DM because one profile drifted into Telegram pairing mode because we allow listed our telegram ids on each instance. that kind of config conflict should be caught before it breaks prod and i had codex write out a local script and even had it update the doctor checks itself but again, when we npm upgrade, that’ll get wiped out. some extensibility on the openclaw setup overall and maybe adding in some checks could be useful? I know a lot of people complain they have to have codex fix openclaw setups so given their env, this could allow people to have more automated workflows/run books for diagnosis/fixes.

Summary

extensibility on the doctors checks we run so that we can do custom environment specific checks to identify issues with the setup before hand and have it protentially fixed as well by a --fix command.

Problem to solve

was looking to get a doctor extensibility thing so i can add custom checks on the openclaw doctors command and it gets supported/maintained for future releases and that the npm upgrade doesn’t override it.

for context, i’m running 2 gateways on the same VM using one codex backend provider thing so that a family member can have their own claw instance using my openai sub and they don’t have to maintain a vm but still in a way where we both get logical separation.

I know a lot of people complain they have to have codex fix openclaw setups so given their env, this could allow people to have more automated workflows/run books for diagnosis/fixes.

Proposed solution

be able to add in a plugin/extensibility type of architecture to the doctor checks so that we can have it do check/fixes in a customized manner beyond baseline.

Alternatives considered

I tried having codex build out a custom check within the src code of the doctor itself but it would be override. post upgrade. plugin type arch could be very helpful to persist the custom env specific checks.

Impact

  • Not sure who’s affected besides me but i’d imagine others who are running multiple claw instances with a shared backend and same model provider also can be impacted.
  • not blocking but a nuisance which i guess i can manage but id imagine the community can also use the doctor checks to have even more functionality for also how anything that uses openclaw as a backend can be extended for migration safety with ability to add custom doctor extensions.
  • edge case/frequent depending on setup but again with this feature i’d image a lot of ppl could benefit depending on how they use the checks/self healing playbooks.
  • extra manual work

TL;DR

Implement a plugin-based architecture for the doctor checks to allow custom environment-specific checks and fixes.

Guidance

  • Consider designing a modular plugin system that allows users to create and register custom checks and fixes without modifying the core doctor code.
  • Investigate using a configuration file or environment variables to store custom plugin settings and ensure they are not overwritten during npm upgrades.
  • Evaluate the feasibility of creating a community-driven repository for sharing and discovering custom doctor plugins.
  • Develop a clear documentation and API for plugin development to encourage community contributions.

Example

// Example plugin structure
class CustomCheck {
  constructor(options) {
    this.options = options;
  }

  check() {
    // Custom check logic
  }

  fix() {
    // Custom fix logic
  }
}

// Register custom plugin
doctor.registerPlugin(new CustomCheck({ /* options */ }));

Notes

The proposed solution requires careful design and implementation to ensure seamless integration with the existing doctor checks and to avoid conflicts with future updates.

Recommendation

Apply a workaround by creating a custom script that runs alongside the doctor checks, using environment variables or a configuration file to store custom settings, until a plugin-based architecture is implemented. This approach allows for some level of customization without modifying the core doctor code.
