• Doc only (prose changes, no code sample modifications)
• Doc only (includes code sample changes)

Quality Gates

• Tests added or updated for changed behavior
• Existing tests cover changed behavior — justification:
• Tests not applicable — justification: This documentation-only release preparation does not change executable behavior. Existing changelog and published-route tests pass.
• Docs updated for user-facing behavior changes
• Docs not applicable — justification:
• Sensitive paths changed (security, policy, credentials, preflight, onboarding, inference, runner, sandbox, or messaging)
• Sensitive-path review completed or maintainer-approved waiver recorded — reviewer/approval link/justification:
• Non-success, skipped, or missing CI check accepted by maintainer — check name, approval link, and follow-up issue:

Documentation Writer Review

• Documentation writer subagent reviewed the completed changes
• Result: docs-updated
• Evidence: Independently reviewed docs/changelog/2026-08-04.mdx and docs/reference/commands.mdx at commit b89913780. All 38 user-facing v0.0.102 PRs are represented, fix(agent): replace openclaw embedded-fallback raw output with clean recovery message (#8100) #8191 behavior matches the implementation, and the writing rules, documentation style, controlled terminology, route structure, and skip policy pass review. Targeted tests pass 36/36 and the documentation build completes with 0 errors.

DGX Station Hardware Evidence

• Tested on DGX Station
• Tested commit: Not applicable
• Station profile/scenario: Not applicable
• Result: Not applicable
• Supporting evidence: Not applicable

Verification

• PR description includes a Signed-off-by: line and every commit appears as Verified in GitHub
• Normal pre-commit, commit-msg, and pre-push hooks passed, or npm run validate:pr passed after refreshing origin/main when hooks were skipped or unavailable
• Targeted behavior tests pass for the current change set, or tests are marked not applicable above — npx vitest run --project integration test/changelog-docs.test.ts test/check-docs-published-routes.test.ts passed 36/36.
• Applicable broad gate passed — not applicable to documentation-only changes; npm run docs completed successfully with 0 errors.
• Quality Gates section completed with required justifications or waivers
• No secrets, API keys, or credentials committed
• npm run docs builds without warnings (doc changes only) — completed with 0 errors and 2 existing Fern warnings.
• Doc pages follow the style guide (doc changes only)
• New doc pages include SPDX header and frontmatter (new pages only) — the native dated changelog uses the required parser-safe MDX SPDX comment and intentionally has no frontmatter.
