fix: resolve message tool lint error (#13453) (thanks @liebertar)

- Add [Historical context: ...] marker pattern to stripDowngradedToolCallText
- Apply stripDowngradedToolCallText in emitBlockChunk streaming path
- Previously only stripBlockTags ran during streaming, leaking [Tool Call: ...] markers to users
- Add 7 test cases for the new pattern stripping

+# PR Workflow for Maintainers
 
 Please read this in full and do not skip sections.
+This is the single source of truth for the maintainer PR workflow.
+
+## Triage order
+
+Process PRs **oldest to newest**. Older PRs are more likely to have merge conflicts and stale dependencies; resolving them first keeps the queue healthy and avoids snowballing rebase pain.
 
 ## Working rule

 These three skills must be used in order:
 
-1. `review-pr`

+1. `review-pr` — review only, produce findings
+2. `prepare-pr` — rebase, fix, gate, push to PR head branch

 They are necessary, but not sufficient. Maintainers must steer between steps and understand the code before moving forward.
 
@@ -31,6 +36,43 @@ Do not continue if you cannot verify the problem is real or test the fix.
 - Harden changes. Always evaluate security impact and abuse paths.
 - Understand the system before changing it. Never make the codebase messier just to clear a PR queue.
 
+## Rebase and conflict resolution
+
+Before any substantive review or prep work, **always rebase the PR branch onto current `main` and resolve merge conflicts first**. A PR that cannot cleanly rebase is not ready for review — fix conflicts before evaluating correctness.
+
+- During `prepare-pr`: rebase onto `main` is the first step, before fixing findings or running gates.
+- If conflicts are complex or touch areas you do not understand, stop and escalate.
+- Prefer **rebase** for linear history; **squash** when commit history is messy or unhelpful.
+
+## Commit and changelog rules
+
+- Create commits with `scripts/committer "<msg>" <file...>`; avoid manual `git add`/`git commit` so staging stays scoped.
+- Follow concise, action-oriented commit messages (e.g., `CLI: add verbose flag to send`).
+- Group related changes; avoid bundling unrelated refactors.
+- Changelog workflow: keep latest released version at top (no `Unreleased`); after publishing, bump version and start a new top section.
+- When working on a PR: add a changelog entry with the PR number and thank the contributor.
+- When working on an issue: reference the issue in the changelog entry.
+- Pure test additions/fixes generally do **not** need a changelog entry unless they alter user-facing behavior or the user asks for one.
+
+## Co-contributor and clawtributors
+
+- If we squash, add the PR author as a co-contributor in the commit.
+- If you review a PR and later do work on it, land via merge/squash (no direct-main commits) and always add the PR author as a co-contributor.
+- When merging a PR: leave a PR comment that explains exactly what we did and include the SHA hashes.
+- When merging a PR from a new contributor: run `bun scripts/update-clawtributors.ts` to add their avatar to the README "Thanks to all clawtributors" list, then commit the regenerated README.
+
+## Review mode vs landing mode
+
+- **Review mode (PR link only):** read `gh pr view`/`gh pr diff`; **do not** switch branches; **do not** change code.
+- **Landing mode:** create an integration branch from `main`, bring in PR commits (**prefer rebase** for linear history; **merge allowed** when complexity/conflicts make it safer), apply fixes, add changelog (+ thanks + PR #), run full gate **locally before committing** (`pnpm build && pnpm check && pnpm test`), commit, merge back to `main`, then `git switch main` (never stay on a topic branch after landing). Important: contributor needs to be in git graph after this!
+
+## Pre-review safety checks
+
+- Before starting a review when a GH Issue/PR is pasted: run `git pull`; if there are local changes or unpushed commits, stop and alert the user before reviewing.
+- PR review calls: prefer a single `gh pr view --json ...` to batch metadata/comments; run `gh pr diff` only when needed.
+- PRs should summarize scope, note testing performed, and mention any user-facing changes or new flags.
+- Read `docs/help/submitting-a-pr.md` ([Submitting a PR](https://docs.openclaw.ai/help/submitting-a-pr)) for what we expect from contributors.

 ## Commit & Pull Request Guidelines
 
+**Full maintainer PR workflow:** `.agents/skills/PR_WORKFLOW.md` -- triage order, quality bar, rebase rules, commit/changelog conventions, co-contributor policy, and the 3-step skill pipeline (`review-pr` > `prepare-pr` > `merge-pr`).
+
 - Create commits with `scripts/committer "<msg>" <file...>`; avoid manual `git add`/`git commit` so staging stays scoped.
 - Follow concise, action-oriented commit messages (e.g., `CLI: add verbose flag to send`).
 - Group related changes; avoid bundling unrelated refactors.
-- Changelog workflow: keep latest released version at top (no `Unreleased`); after publishing, bump version and start a new top section.
-- PRs should summarize scope, note testing performed, and mention any user-facing changes or new flags.
 - Read this when submitting a PR: `docs/help/submitting-a-pr.md` ([Submitting a PR](https://docs.openclaw.ai/help/submitting-a-pr))
 - Read this when submitting an issue: `docs/help/submitting-an-issue.md` ([Submitting an Issue](https://docs.openclaw.ai/help/submitting-an-issue))
-- PR review flow: when given a PR link, review via `gh pr view`/`gh pr diff` and do **not** change branches.
-- PR review calls: prefer a single `gh pr view --json ...` to batch metadata/comments; run `gh pr diff` only when needed.
-- Before starting a review when a GH Issue/PR is pasted: run `git pull`; if there are local changes or unpushed commits, stop and alert the user before reviewing.
-- Goal: merge PRs. Prefer **rebase** when commits are clean; **squash** when history is messy.
-- PR merge flow: create a temp branch from `main`, merge the PR branch into it (prefer squash unless commit history is important; use rebase/merge when it is). Always try to merge the PR unless it’s truly difficult, then use another approach. If we squash, add the PR author as a co-contributor. Apply fixes, add changelog entry (include PR # + thanks), run full gate before the final commit, commit, merge back to `main`, delete the temp branch, and end on `main`.
-- If you review a PR and later do work on it, land via merge/squash (no direct-main commits) and always add the PR author as a co-contributor.
-- When working on a PR: add a changelog entry with the PR number and thank the contributor.
-- When working on an issue: reference the issue in the changelog entry.
-- When merging a PR: leave a PR comment that explains exactly what we did and include the SHA hashes.
-- When merging a PR from a new contributor: add their avatar to the README “Thanks to all clawtributors” thumbnail list.
-- After merging a PR: run `bun scripts/update-clawtributors.ts` if the contributor is missing, then commit the regenerated README.
 
 ## Shorthand Commands
 
 - `sync`: if working tree is dirty, commit all changes (pick a sensible Conventional Commit message), then `git pull --rebase`; if rebase conflicts and cannot resolve, stop; otherwise `git push`.

+# Onboarding Overview
+
+OpenClaw supports multiple onboarding paths depending on where the Gateway runs
+and how you prefer to configure providers.
+
+## Choose your onboarding path
+
+- **CLI wizard** for macOS, Linux, and Windows (via WSL2).
+- **macOS app** for a guided first run on Apple silicon or Intel Macs.
+
+## CLI onboarding wizard
+
+Run the wizard in a terminal:
+
+```bash
+openclaw onboard
+```
+
+Use the CLI wizard when you want full control of the Gateway, workspace,
+channels, and skills. Docs:
+
+- [Onboarding Wizard (CLI)](/start/wizard)
+- [`openclaw onboard` command](/cli/onboard)
+
+## macOS app onboarding
+
+Use the OpenClaw app when you want a fully guided setup on macOS. Docs:
+
+- [Onboarding (macOS App)](/start/onboarding)
+
+## Custom Provider
+
+If you need an endpoint that is not listed, including hosted providers that
+expose standard OpenAI or Anthropic APIs, choose **Custom Provider** in the
+CLI wizard. You will be asked to:
+
+- Pick OpenAI-compatible, Anthropic-compatible, or **Unknown** (auto-detect).
+- Enter a base URL and API key (if required by the provider).
+- Provide a model ID and optional alias.
+- Choose an Endpoint ID so multiple custom endpoints can coexist.
+
+For detailed steps, follow the CLI onboarding docs above.
