Bootstrap process
I want to deeply understand how OpenClaw’s bootstrap process constructs context and interprets workspace files.
Please explain in detail:
The exact bootstrap sequence (what loads first, in what order).
Which files are loaded initially and which are only referenced by name.
Whether file contents are ever summarized automatically.
How the system ensures a file is actually read before being acted upon.
Whether the model is allowed to assume file contents based on filename or prior sessions.
How conflicts between multiple .md files are resolved.
How priority is enforced between Bootstrap prompt, workspace files, and user instructions.
Any built-in safeguards against hallucinating file structure or instructions.
How the Heartbeat function injector works and how it interacts with the bootstrap and workspace execution.
I want to use this information to refine my workspace instructions and reduce hallucinations. Please be as technical and precise as possible.
