feat(desktop): prevent system sleep while app is running#299
Merged
Conversation
Use Electron's powerSaveBlocker API with "prevent-app-suspension" mode to keep sidecar processes (controller, openclaw, web) alive during system idle. The blocker starts after window creation and is released on before-quit. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
