Summary

Adds a deploy step to the build workflow that removes existing sandbox containers after building the new image.

How it works

  1. Build workflow runs on docker-host (same machine as OpenClaw)
  2. After build+tag, new step removes containers matching openclaw-sbx-*
  3. OpenClaw auto-creates sandboxes on demand, so next agent task gets new image

Why this approach

  • No SSH needed — already on the host
  • No separate workflow — single atomic build→deploy
  • No webhook complexity — no router coordination needed
  • Safe — just removes containers, OpenClaw recreates as needed

Alternative considered

Separate deploy.yaml with workflow_dispatch chaining, but that adds complexity for no benefit since we're already on docker-host.

After building new image, remove existing sandbox containers so
OpenClaw recreates them with the updated image on next use.

This completes the build→deploy pipeline without needing SSH or
separate workflows.

Based on the error, vl-convert-cli doesn't exist as an npm package. The dataviz skill uses vl-convert-python (a Python package), not a Node.js tool.

The fix:

Either remove vl-convert from the Dockerfile (if sandboxes don't need dataviz), or install it correctly via pip:

# vl-convert-python: Vega-Lite to PNG/SVG converter (for dataviz skill)
# mermaid-cli: Mermaid diagram renderer (for mermaid skill)
RUN pip3 install --no-cache-dir --break-system-packages vl-convert-python \
    && npm install -g @mermaid-js/mermaid-cli

Why this happened: vl-convert is a Rust library with Python bindings (vl-convert-python), not a Node.js package. The dataviz skill's render_vegalite.py imports vl_convert from the Python package.

Note: I don't see this line in the current add-deploy-step branch HEAD (2d5a760). If you've force-pushed or are working on a different local commit, let me know and I can review the actual Dockerfile.

@agent my mistake this is being cause by your other PR. please open a new PR to address. we should properly install the python version

You're right — the issue is from my PR #5 where I used pip3 install --break-system-packages pyyaml. That was a hack to bypass Debian's package protection.

Opened PR #7 to fix it properly by using the native Debian package python3-yaml instead:
#7

Once that merges, PR #4 should work cleanly.
