OpenClaw Signals: Streaming Readers, Event Threading, and Path Security

Tools

PR #329: Streaming File Reader

Moves file reading off the main thread so processing doesn't choke on large inputs. This is a classic concurrency win to keep the system responsive.

PR #328: Reader Stream Finalization

Finalizes the stream handling inside the new reader to ensure data doesn't get mangled mid-transfer. Clean streams mean fewer runtime errors when handling heavy payloads.

PR #327: Path Traversal Security

Hardens the filesystem boundaries so processes can't reach into unauthorized directories via the resolver. Security hygiene matters when you're automating high-privilege tasks.

PR #325: Structured JSON Logging

Automates the conversion of raw logs into JSON so you can pipe them into monitoring tools. Structured logs are a requirement if you want to actually debug production issues.

Analysis

PR #326: Single-Threaded Event Watchers

Isolating event watchers to a single thread prevents logic thrashing when multiple signals hit at once. This reduces race conditions and makes the state machine much more predictable.

Issue #1560: Compliance with Apple Silicon and ARM64

A mixed environment forces the runtime to dynamically choose which binaries to execute. Getting this right is the key to running on modern developer machines without breaking legacy scripts.
