OpenClaw: Fourth Credential-Leak Mechanism — status --all Prints Credentials Hidden in Channel Base URLs (P0)

Running `openclaw status --all` prints credentials hidden in channel base URLs. This is the FOURTH independently documented secrets management failure in ~5 days: (1) API keys leak in error messages #97817, (2) Telegram bot tokens leak in timeout URLs #96982, (3) Gateway wipes se

📋 Issue Summary

Summary

Running `openclaw status --all` prints credentials hidden in channel base URLs. This is the FOURTH independently documented secrets management failure in ~5 days: (1) API keys leak in error messages #97817, (2) Telegram bot tokens leak in timeout URLs #96982, (3) Gateway wipes secrets on restart #98107, (4) status --all prints credentials #98633. Every code path that touches a secret is a leak vector. Users run status --all to debug problems, then paste output into forums/GitHub/support tickets — unknowingly sharing credentials.

Impact

P0 — credential leakage, 4th independent mechanism

Why It Matters

Users run status --all to debug problems, then paste the output into forums, GitHub issues, or support tickets — unknowingly sharing their credentials. This is the most operationally dangerous leak of the four because it happens during the exact workflow where users are most likely to share output publicly. For gobii.reviews: Gobii managed platform with immutable secrets management and no self-hosted CLI eliminates the entire class of secrets-handling failures.
