Description

Inside the OpenClaw TUI, typing /nemoclaw status does not show a real NemoClaw status response or subcommand help. Instead it prints a generic message:

NemoClaw: No operations performed yet. Run nemoclaw onboard to get started.

even though NemoClaw is already onboarded and a sandbox is running.

Component area: CLI&UX (slash commands in TUI) / Agent&Skills (integration between OpenClaw TUI and NemoClaw).

Environment

Platforms verified: WSL2 (Ubuntu 22.04 in WSL2 on Windows), DGX Spark, Ubuntu 26.04
openshell:          0.0.39
nemoclaw:           v0.0.48
docker:             29.4.3
node:               v22.22.3
npm:                10.9.8
OpenClaw:           2026.4.24 (cbcfdf6)

Steps to Reproduce

Pre-condition: NemoClaw has been successfully onboarded against any cloud provider, and at least one sandbox is running.

1. On the host, connect to a running sandbox:

   nemoclaw connect

2. Inside the sandbox shell, start the OpenClaw TUI:

   openclaw tui

3. Inside the TUI input line, type the NemoClaw slash command and press Enter:

   /nemoclaw status
   

4. Observe the TUI output.

Expected Result

Typing /nemoclaw inside the OpenClaw TUI should:

• Show autocomplete hints for available subcommands (for example, status, logs, etc.).

Typing /nemoclaw status and pressing Enter should:

• Return inline status output in the TUI, reflecting the current NemoClaw/sandbox state (e.g., provider, sandbox health).

A silent no-op, a missing autocomplete hint, or a generic "no operations" banner in place of real status is considered a FAIL.

Actual Result

After typing /nemoclaw status and pressing Enter, the TUI shows:

/nemoclaw status
NemoClaw: No operations performed yet. Run nemoclaw onboard to get started.

There is:

• No autocomplete for /nemoclaw subcommands.
• No structured status information about the running NemoClaw instance or sandbox.
• A misleading suggestion to "Run nemoclaw onboard" despite NemoClaw already being onboarded and in use.

Logs

No explicit error is printed to the terminal outside the TUI. The only observable behavior is the TUI content shown in Actual Result above.
