How to give exec tool real filesystem access?
Running OpenClaw 2026.3.2 on macOS (local mode). My agent's exec tool runs in an isolated filesystem — writes don't persist to the host. read/write/apply_patch work fine on real files, but exec can't create files or run scripts that access the host filesystem.
openclaw sandbox explain shows:
mode: off
workspaceAccess: rw
workspaceRoot: /Users/.../.openclaw/workspace
But exec writes still don't land on the real filesystem. Is there a config to give exec direct host access? I need it for running Python scripts (e.g. OpenAI Whisper API for voice transcription).
