Migrating to Androperator 1.0.0

Androperator was formerly known as Clawperator. Its first release is 1.0.0. The new package, CLI, Android app and runtime contracts change together. This release is being prepared; do not use the new download URLs until public cutover is complete.

Surface	Before	After
npm and CLI	clawperator	androperator
Environment variables	CLAWPERATOR_*	ANDROPERATOR_*
Local state	~/.clawperator/	~/.androperator/
Android release app	com.clawperator.operator	com.androperator.operator
Android development app	com.clawperator.operator.dev	com.androperator.operator.dev
Kotlin packages	clawperator.*	androperator.*
Result envelope	[Clawperator-Result]	[Androperator-Result]

Install [email protected] and its matching APK after publication. The renamed Android app installs separately; grant its accessibility and automation permissions. The release retains the existing signing key. Updating the CLI alone does not make an old Android app compatible with the new envelope or ingress names.

Update scripts, MCP client commands, bundled agent skill names and environment variables. Use the new CLI and explicitly select the new Operator package. Do not reuse old daemon sockets, PIDs, or version markers. Stop the old daemon using the old CLI before starting the renamed one.

Installation initializes an empty local skill registry. It no longer clones a companion skills catalog. Keep your own workspace, set ANDROPERATOR_SKILLS_REGISTRY to its registry, and adapt its scripts, manifests, frontmatter and result handling to the new contracts before validating and running. Git-ref catalog synchronization is no longer supported; skills update and skills sync --ref main initialize or validate the local workspace. Optional bundled example workflows are a separate follow-up.

Do not copy the entire old state directory. Review any recordings, logs and user skills you need to retain, then migrate those deliberately. Git hooks use ANDROPERATOR_BLOCKED_TERMS_FILE or ~/.androperator/blocked-terms.txt; until that file exists, they retain the former default terms file as a migration safeguard.

The old landing site and historical release notes remain under the former name. No Clawperator 1.0.0 package or release is to be published.

Release preparation

Before tagging, verify new npm publishing authorization, the destination domains, installer routes, downloads bucket and APK redirect Worker. Cloudflare upload secrets use ANDROPERATOR_CLOUDFLARE_*. Android signing secrets retain their existing stored values and secret names; the workflow maps them to renamed build variables. Do not generate a new signing key.

Firebase SDKs, plugins, registrations and remote task-status reporting have been removed. Crash information remains in the app-private crash-log.txt and logcat. Task status remains available through structured local logcat reporting with command/task correlation. No Firebase registrations are required.
