…LICY.md handling (NVIDIA#10482) Add the MEMORY.md and memory/ skip lines to the backup helper's expected output so it matches what a fresh sandbox actually prints. Stop telling readers to re-upload a downloaded POLICY.md, since NemoClaw regenerates it from the managed policy and a stale copy can reintroduce drift; point to `policy explain --write` instead. Add POLICY.md to the workspace-files reference table and directory tree so it lists the same files as transfer-state-manually.mdx.
📝 WalkthroughWalkthroughThe change aligns workspace documentation, manual transfer instructions, and backup handling with the current workspace files. Memory transfers are optional, and ChangesWorkspace state alignment
Estimated code review effort: 2 (Simple) | ~10 minutes Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to The PR corrects the documented workspace file list, but the current restore behavior would also upload generated POLICY.md, which can reintroduce stale policy drift. Merge should wait until backup and restore use separate file lists; the reference-page wording also needs a small clarification.

🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win
Separate the generated file from the six templates.
The table now places six seeded OpenClaw templates, generated POLICY.md, and optional memory entries in one list. Clarify that POLICY.md is rendered separately by NemoClaw, not one of the six seeded templates.

🗄️ Data Integrity & Integration | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win
Do not restore generated POLICY.md.
FILES is used by both the backup and restore loops. Adding POLICY.md here makes do_restore upload the downloaded policy file, but the transfer instructions prohibit this because the file can be stale. Keep POLICY.md in the backup set for inspection, and use a separate restore list that omits it.

✨ Thanks for the documentation fix. This corrects the file list to match what backup-workspace.sh actually produces and adds the missing POLICY.md note. Related open issues: |

The Download State section of the transfer-state-manually doc listed
MEMORY.mdandmemory/as files to back up, but neither exists in a fresh v0.0.114 OpenClaw sandbox's workspace — and the doc was missingHEARTBEAT.md,POLICY.md, andTOOLS.md, which do exist. Closes #10482.Updated the file list and the example expected-output block to match what
backup-workspace.shactually does on a real sandbox, including the skip lines it prints for the two files that no longer exist. Also added a note thatPOLICY.mdshouldn't be restored from a downloaded copy — NemoClaw regenerates it whenever a policy preset changes or at onboarding, so re-uploading a stale one can reintroduce drift;policy explain --writeis the right way to refresh it. AddedPOLICY.mdto the workspace-files reference page too, since it was missing there and would otherwise contradict this fix.Summary by CodeRabbit
