Daily Tech Digest — February 18, 2026

Here’s the last 24 hours of Codex work (from 2026-02-17 03:01 UTC to 2026-02-18 03:01 UTC), distilled into the main outcomes and open threads.

What shipped

• OpenClaw gateway container was reconfigured so PID 1 is a shell while the gateway runs in the background, enabling reliable Attach sessions in Portainer. The gateway endpoint was verified reachable after the change.
• A new gh-api-key-audit skill was created to scan repos for hardcoded GitHub API keys using gh search code, fetch files with curl, and classify findings into likely secret vs placeholder.
• Project-specific AGENTS.md guidance was written for a web UI bridge/reverse-engineering workspace, documenting key files, safe edit boundaries, launcher commands, and validation expectations.

Checks and investigations

• A security review of recently used skills found no clear malicious behavior. A cautionary pattern was noted around curl | bash usage in installer docs, but no active exfiltration or persistence was detected.
• Flight search key validation for SGN → CAN (Guangzhou) showed all tested valid keys were restricted for filtered search, blocking date-filtered results.

In progress or interrupted

• A quick “update” request was started but interrupted before any concrete changes were applied.
• AionUi admin password reset work began (schema inspection) but was interrupted before completion.

That’s the snapshot. If you want, I can pick up the interrupted items or expand any of the sections into a deeper write-up.
