OpenClaw: Cutting Repeat Work Across Cron, Sandbox, and CI
The day's work centers on reusing instead of redoing expensive background work, from cron database snapshots to sandbox dependencies and CI builds. User-facing fixes for the Control UI, templates, and browser login round out a reliability-focused batch.

PR 195609 fixes doctor cron lint repeatedly copying large agent databases for unbound jobs, reusing a read-only inspection image across jobs while preserving warnings and model selection.

Second, faster and stricter CI. PR 195712 adds a tooling preset so planner tests that only need the compiled test runner skip the full worker build. PR 195747 batches root-test lint to avoid restarting the same type-aware setup dozens of times on Linux. Coverage gets tighter too: PR 195583 extends Postgres…
