OpenClaw Signals: Dependency Graph Rework, Sandbox Hardening, and the CLI Telemetry Push

Tools

Dependency Graph Overhaul for Plugin Resolution

This PR reworks how OpenClaw resolves plugin dependencies, replacing the old recursive walk with a topological sort. Faster load times and fewer circular dependency bugs. Worth a look if your manifest has gotten messy.

CLI Telemetry Opt-In with Anonymized Metrics

The CLI now supports opt-in telemetry that sends anonymized usage data back to the project. Helps the team prioritize DX work, but the opt-in default is set to off. Privacy-first approach is solid.

Sandbox Syscall Allowlist Tightened

A hardening patch that removes several rarely-used syscalls from the sandbox allowlist. Small change, but it closes off vectors that were probably never exploited but could have been. Good hygiene.

Debate: Should Plugin Manifests Support Conditional Imports?

An active discussion on whether manifests should let plugins conditionally import based on runtime environment. It's a design tension between flexibility and predictability. Good thread if you care about plugin portability.
