Best practice for 1Password / secrets manager integration with OpenClaw?
Setup: Mac mini (headless, always-on), Claude Max via Anthropic, 1Password CLI installed and working.
Goal: Securely store API keys in 1Password so the OpenClaw agent can USE them without SEEING the values in conversation context.
Problem: If the agent runs op read, the secret lands in model context and gets sent to API provider. Env vars in .zprofile are plaintext on disk. skills.entries.*.apiKey in openclaw.json is also plaintext.
Questions:
1. Does OpenClaw support secret reference syntax (like op:// URIs) in config?
2. Has anyone used op run to wrap gateway startup for env injection?
3. What's the best practice for keeping API keys secure from the agent itself?
