When ┌─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐ │ ⚕ Hermes — OpenClaw Migration │ └─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘ ✗ OpenClaw directory not found: /data/data/com.termux/files/home/.openclaw Make sure your OpenClaw installation is at the expected path. You can specify a custom path: hermes claw migrate --source /path/to/.openclaw is pointed at an OpenClaw installation configured as a remote-mode client (gateway.mode: "remote"), the full configuration (model settings, channels, MCPs, cron jobs, agent defaults, approvals) lives on the remote server, not in the local openclaw.json. The migration would previously report ~33 "No X configuration found" skip entries with no explanation. Now detects gateway.mode: "remote" in the source config and prints a clear warning explaining that only workspace files and skills will be migrated, and to run the tool against the server's OpenClaw directory for the full configuration.

Summary
When
hermes claw migrateis run against an OpenClaw installation configured as a remote-mode client (gateway.mode: "remote"), the tool completes successfully but reports ~33 "No X configuration found" skip entries with no explanation.

gateway.mode: "remote", following the same pattern as the existing_warn_if_openclaw_running()and_warn_if_gateway_running()warning functions.Changes
