Next Steps - OpenClaw MacBook Pro Node

Immediate Tasks

• 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.

Future Enhancements

• Automated Health Reports: Set up a cron job to run scripts/openclaw-check.sh daily and append results to a health tracking document.
• Security Hardening: Review and tighten the exec-approvals.json allowlist once all required commands for the agent-zero workflows are identified.
• Capability Expansion: Explore enabling camera and screen recording capabilities for the headless node if required by future vision-based tasks.

Maintenance

• Version Synchronization: Check for new OpenClaw releases and update both the remote gateway and local node components to maintain parity.
• SSH Key Management: Rotate SSH keys used for the tunnel connection periodically.
