Cross-Platform Remediation Plan

Phase 1: Immediate Risk Closure (Completed)

Milestones

  • Implement explicit home-path expansion + suspicious token rejection in high-risk runtime/install paths.
  • Add regression tests for path expansion and escaped-token rejection.
  • Add .gitattributes LF policy.
  • Expand Node lint/type/build CI coverage to Linux/macOS/Windows.
  • Update install docs with shell-specific guidance and literal $HOME troubleshooting.

Outcomes

  • Literal $HOME path propagation bug addressed at source.
  • Core advisory/install path config now fails fast on invalid path tokens.

Phase 2: Windows Parity for Critical Workflows (Next)

Quick wins

  • Add PowerShell equivalents for the most-used manual install/check commands in:
    • skills/clawsec-suite/SKILL.md
    • skills/openclaw-audit-watchdog/SKILL.md
    • README.md
  • Add a lightweight scripts/preflight.mjs to detect missing tools and print OS-specific install hints.

Milestones

  • Native PowerShell instructions for suite setup and advisory hook.
  • WSL/Git Bash fallback documented where shell scripts are unavoidable.

Phase 3: Reduce POSIX Shell Surface (Deeper Refactor)

Refactor targets

  • scripts/populate-local-feed.sh
  • scripts/populate-local-skills.sh
  • scripts/release-skill.sh

Approach

  • Re-implement critical paths in Node/Python to remove dependency on jq/sed/awk/find/chmod pipelines.
  • Preserve shell wrappers for backward compatibility; route to new cross-platform implementations.

Migration notes

  • Keep old script entrypoints as wrappers for at least one minor release.
  • Emit deprecation warnings with exact migration commands.

Phase 4: CI Hardening and Ongoing Verification

Milestones

  • Keep Node matrix (Linux/macOS/Windows) as required check.
  • Add targeted Windows smoke tests for install path handling.
  • Add macOS check for OpenSSL command compatibility notes where relevant.

Test strategy

  • Local:
    • Run Node test suites that cover path expansion/suppression/install behavior.
    • Run syntax checks for modified scripts.
  • CI:
    • Matrix Node checks + guarded installer/suppression/path tests.
    • Linux-only security scans remain, but explicitly marked as Linux-scoped.

Rollout / Release Considerations

  • No breaking interface changes introduced in this patch set; behavior is stricter only for invalid/unexpanded path tokens.
  • Communicate in release notes:
    • path token validation now enforced
    • how to correct invalid quoted env values
    • where PowerShell examples live
