OpenClaw Workspace Governance Installer

Ship safer OpenClaw operations from day one. This installer gives you a repeatable governance path instead of ad-hoc prompt edits.

Why this is popular

1. Prevents "edit first, verify later" mistakes.
2. Gives one predictable setup/upgrade/audit flow.
3. Makes changes traceable for review and handover.
4. Works for both beginners and production workspaces.
