 All notable changes to this repository are documented in this file.
 
 ## [Unreleased]
+- **Automation Optimization**: Cleaned up the MacBook by uninstalling UI-heavy software (Adobe Suite, CapCut, Microsoft Teams, etc.) and deleting unused user profiles (`awsatwareag`, `EEsatwareAG`, `firebird`) using scripted automation hooks (`scripts/uninstall-apps.sh` and `scripts/delete-users.sh`).
+- **FileVault Auto-login Script**: Created `scripts/auth-restart.sh` leveraging `fdesetup authrestart` to bypass FileVault screen for headless reboots.
 - Updated references of OpenClaw version from `2026.3.13` to `2026.3.28` across the local documentation and gateway plugins list.
 - Clarified maintenance protocols in remote `luca` project documentation (`MAINTENANCE.md`), directing operators back to the `mw-macbook-pro` repository for all macOS node-specific configuration and tunnel updates.

 # Next Steps - OpenClaw MacBook Pro Node
 
 ## Immediate Tasks
+- [x] **Machine Optimization**: Uninstall UI-heavy applications and delete unused user accounts to dedicate the mac specifically to automation.
 - [ ] **Monitor Connection Stability**: Ensure the `ai.openclaw.node` LaunchAgent maintains the SSH tunnel and node connectivity over long periods.
 - [ ] **TCC Permission Audit**: Periodically verify that "Screen Recording" and "Accessibility" permissions for the `node` binary remain intact after system updates.
 - [ ] **Log Rotation**: Implement log rotation for `~/.openclaw/logs/*.log` to prevent disk space issues on the MacBook Pro.
