# Restart Guard
## Purpose / 目标
Safely restart gateway while preserving context and guaranteeing a post-restart report path to the user session.
安全重启网关,保留上下文,并保证重启后可主动回报到用户会话。
## Trigger / 触发条件
Use this skill when the task involves OpenClaw gateway restart, watchdog recovery, or post-restart reporting.
当任务涉及 OpenClaw 网关重启、看门狗恢复、重启后回报时使用。
Natural-language triggers (must auto-run, do not ask user for script commands):
- "可以重启了"
- "现在重启吧"
- "restart now"
- "go ahead and restart"
自然语言触发(必须自动执行,不让用户手工跑脚本):
- “可以重启了”
- “现在重启吧”
- “restart now”
- “go ahead and restart”
## Required Preconditions / 前置条件
- `openclaw` CLI is available.
- Restart config exists (`config.example.yaml` or `config/restart-guard.yaml.example` copied to runtime path).
- Agent can execute shell commands.
- `openclaw` CLI 可用。
- 重启配置文件存在(从示例拷贝到运行路径)。
- agent 具备执行命令能力。
## Workflow / 标准流程
### 0) Default behavior / 默认行为
When user expresses restart intent without specifying channel details:
- Run full flow automatically via `scripts/auto_restart.py`.
- Default `--notify-mode origin`.
- Infer origin session key automatically (env/context/sessions), no user input required.
- Auto-discover external channels and persist `effective_notify_plan`.
- Before trigger, proactively announce disaster delivery route/channels to origin session.
- After restart event arrives, net summarizes result to user.
当用户仅表达重启意图且未指定渠道细节时:
- 使用 `scripts/auto_restart.py` 自动执行全流程。
- 默认 `--notify-mode origin`。
- 自动推断源会话 key(env/context/sessions),无需用户补参数。
- 自动发现外部渠道并写入 `effective_notify_plan`。
- 触发前先在源会话预告灾难通知路由与渠道。
- 收到重启事件后,由 net 向用户汇总结果。
### 1) Discover channels and mode / 发现渠道与模式(可选)
```bash
python3 <skill-dir>/scripts/discover_channels.py --config <config-path> --json
```
Ask user:
- notify mode (`origin` recommended, or `selected`, `all`)
- selected channel/target if needed
询问用户:
- 通知模式(推荐 `origin`,可选 `selected`、`all`)
- 若需要,指定渠道与目标
### 2) Write context / 写入现场
```bash
python3 <skill-dir>/scripts/write_context.py \
--config <config-path> \
--reason "config change" \
--verify 'openclaw health --json' 'ok' \
--resume "report restart result to user"
```
### 3) Execute restart / 执行重启
Recommended one-command entry:
```bash
python3 <skill-dir>/scripts/auto_restart.py \
--config <config-path> \
--reason "config change" \
--notify-mode origin
```
推荐单命令入口:
```bash
python3 <skill-dir>/scripts/auto_restart.py \
--config <config-path> \
--reason "配置变更" \
--notify-mode origin
```
```bash
python3 <skill-dir>/scripts/restart.py \
--config <config-path> \
--reason "config change" \
--notify-mode origin \
--origin-session-key <session-key>
```
Selected channel mode:
```bash
python3 <skill-dir>/scripts/restart.py \
--config <config-path> \
--reason "config change" \
--notify-mode selected \
--channel telegram \
--target 726647436
```
### 4) Postcheck / 事后校验
```bash
python3 <skill-dir>/scripts/postcheck.py --config <config-path>
```
## Contract / 契约
- Event contract: `restart_guard.result.v1`
- Required fields: `status`, `restart_id`
- Context adds:
- `restart_id`
- `origin_session_key`
- `notify_mode`
- `channel_selection`
- `effective_notify_plan`
- `state_timestamps`
- `diagnostics_file`
- `delivery_status`
- Optional event fields:
- `severity`
- `failure_phase`
- `error_code`
- `delivery_attempts`
- `delivery_route`
- `delivery_exhausted`
- `diagnostics_file`
## Notes / 注意事项
- `webui` is not treated as disabled notification anymore; origin-session ACK is primary path.
- `webui` 不再视为禁用通知;主路径是回发到发起会话。
- Verify/diagnostics commands run in strict non-shell mode.
- 校验/诊断命令以严格非 shell 模式执行(包含管道等 shell 元字符会被拒绝)。
- For implementation-level replication details, see `ENHANCED_RESTART_IMPLEMENTATION_SPEC.md`.
- 若需按工程级标准复刻实现,请参考 `ENHANCED_RESTART_IMPLEMENTATION_SPEC.md`。
- Do not expose internal scripts/steps unless user explicitly asks for internals.
- 除非用户明确要求细节,否则不要向用户暴露内部脚本步骤。
- Guardian uses strict success invariant:
- `down_detected && start_attempted && up_healthy`
- Guardian success requires strict invariant:
- `down_detected && start_attempted && up_healthy`
## Failure Handling / 故障处理
- On timeout/failure, guardian writes local diagnostics file (`restart-diagnostics-<restart_id>.md/json`), sends concise summary, and retries delivery within budget.
- 若超时或失败,guardian 会写本地诊断文件(`restart-diagnostics-<restart_id>.md/json`),发送简要摘要,并在预算内重试送达。
- Fixed disaster route: `origin session -> agent:main:main -> all discovered external channels`.
- 固定灾难路由:`源会话 -> agent:main:main -> 所有已发现外部渠道`。
- Guardian exits after successful delivery or budget exhaustion; no long-lived watchdog process after disaster handling.
- 灾难处理结束后(送达成功或预算耗尽)guardian 必须退出,不长期驻留。
