# Retirement log

## 2026-05-01 — /root/.openclaw/ dormant directory

### What
Directory `/root/.openclaw/` (1.44 GB on disk, mostly npm cache) moved to `/root/.openclaw.retired.20260501/`.

### Why
Confirmed dormant: no live process holds files open, no systemd unit references it, no process cwd or env points to it. The earlier suspicion that it was an "orphan running process" was a misidentification — the live `openclaw-gateway` PID (2126568) is actually `clawdbot-opsman.service` (verified via systemctl show -p MainPID). `/root/.openclaw/` is leftover state from an earlier install.

### State of /root/.openclaw before move
- Top-level keys: meta, env, wizard, auth, models, agents, tools, messages, commands, session, cron, channels, gateway, plugins
- agents.defaults.model.primary: google/gemini-3.1-pro
- channels: whatsapp, telegram, slack — all without bound tokens or allowlists
- cron: empty
- last config writes within ~7 days were npm cache + flow registry SQLite (no operational data)

### Rollback (within 7 days)
```
mv /root/.openclaw.retired.20260501 /root/.openclaw
```

### Rollback (after directory deleted, 7+ days)
```
tar -xzf /root/.config-backups/openclaw-ghost.20260501-035207.tar.gz -C /root
```
sha256: 15efbc32a0f10b52b6252f674d0c23443fff888287d8c695cdf33ee4df7b0d66

### Final delete (after 2026-05-08, if no breakage observed)
```
rm -rf /root/.openclaw.retired.20260501
```

### Update 2026-05-01 (later same day)
Final delete of `/root/.openclaw.retired.20260501/` performed at user request (skipping 7-day soak — Rocky's call). Long-term archive remains at `/root/.config-backups/openclaw-ghost.20260501-035207.tar.gz` (1.44 GB, sha256 15efbc32a0f10b52b6252f674d0c23443fff888287d8c695cdf33ee4df7b0d66).
