1. Finding 1: 1First-launch 'Close' button exits onboarding with no visible way back. On first run, hide it or relabel 'Set up later' and give Settings a re-entry point.Pincushion AI · Ready
2. Finding 2: 2Subtitle 'secure OpenClaw node' is gateway-internals vocab newcomers haven't met. Say what it does: 'Turn this phone into OpenClaw's eyes, ears, and voice.'Pincushion AI · Ready
3. Finding 3: 3The 'How to pair' card and the caption under 'Set Up Manually' repeat the same /pair qr instruction verbatim on one screen. Keep the card, cut the caption.Pincushion AI · Ready
4. Finding 4: 4'In your OpenClaw chat, run /pair qr' assumes a chat the newcomer doesn't have yet. Anchor it: 'In OpenClaw on your computer, run /pair qr.'Pincushion AI · Ready
5. Finding 5: 5'Authentication' renders twice, stacked — nav title plus section header. Drop the section header or rename it to what the fields need: 'Gateway credentials'.Pincushion AI · Ready
6. Finding 6: 6Error says a token is required but never where to get one, and 'Check both' floats unexplained. Add the minting command (openclaw pair token) or wire Details to it.Pincushion AI · Ready
7. Finding 7: 7State contradicts itself: Discovery 'Searching…' while Status says gateway rejected, and 'protocol mismatch' renders twice. Show one status plus a recovery step: update app or gateway to match versions.Pincushion AI · Ready
8. Finding 8: 8Connected chat opens to dead air — no hint what C3-PO can do, and Talk/Control/Agent tabs are unexplained. Add 2-3 tappable starter prompts as the empty state.Pincushion AI · Ready
9. Finding 9: 9Agent avatar carries a '?' badge that reads as a broken image and is never explained. If it means no avatar set, show initials; if it's status, label it.Pincushion AI · Ready
10. Finding 10: 10Success screen prints the host twice — 'localhost' then 'localhost:19001'. Show one canonical host:port; the duplicate adds noise at the moment that should feel clean.Pincushion AI · Ready
11. Finding 11: 11Gateway error screen shows "Discovery: Searching…" and "Status: Gateway rejected the connection" at once, with "protocol mismatch" printed twice. "Restart Discovery" is the only action — it won't fix a protocol mismatch. Show the real cause and a matching fix, not a retry loop.Pincushion AI · Ready
12. Finding 12: 12Discovery reads "Searching…" right next to Status "Offline" with no timeout or hint to try Manual Fallback below. First-run users can't tell if it's still working or stuck. Auto-suggest Manual Fallback after ~10s of no match.Pincushion AI · Ready
13. Finding 13: 13"Gateway token required" banner names the problem but neither button solves it inline — "Open Settings" just navigates away, "Details" is unlabeled. Add the token field right here, or tell users exactly where it lives before they tap away.Pincushion AI · Ready
14. Finding 14: 14Some "recommended" pills for quick actions here could speed things up for usersJosh · Open
15. Finding 15: 15This should be a button on it's own, not a list itemJosh · Open
