# Phase 4 Acceptance Update

- Date: 2026-05-13
- Scope: pluginization path validation

## What was validated

The first version of the apply/rollback flow has now been validated against a pristine extracted `openclaw@2026.5.7` package.

### Apply validation

The apply script successfully injected the expected PoC markers into:

- `send-sxDwUGaO.js`
- `bot-Ce301bOE.js`

Confirmed markers after apply included:

- `rec:continue`
- `A. 繼續`
- `reply-end-controls.json`
- `reply-end-debug.log`

### Rollback validation

The rollback script successfully restored the pristine files.

Confirmed markers were gone again after rollback.

## What this means

This is not yet the final pluginized architecture, but it proves that the project now has a reproducible patch application path instead of depending entirely on undocumented manual edits.

That is an important Phase 4 milestone because it reduces one of the biggest operational risks of the current PoC.

## What is still missing

- the live `openclawtest` runtime is still driven by direct patched OpenClaw runtime files
- the runtime patches still need to be reduced and progressively replaced by cleaner repo-owned integration seams
- callback behavior still needs more deterministic acceptance coverage in the live environment

## Current judgment

The project now has:

- design documents
- PoC success proof
- reusable core/store/policy/callback modules
- OpenClaw bridge helpers
- unit tests
- reproducible apply/rollback patch scripts

That is enough to say the pluginization effort is materially underway, not just planned.
