Draft lesson: awaiting independent technical and publication review; do not use it as production configuration guidance.

Action boundary

Before you act

Expected result
A dated runbook records inbound stop, credential revocation, permission removal, queue handling, and a failed post-disable test.
Failure mode
Local configuration is removed while provider credentials or permissions still permit delivery.
Rollback
Keep the integration disabled; restore only after a fresh least-privilege review and new test evidence.

Orient

Deleting configuration is not offboarding. The provider may retain credentials, webhooks, permissions, queued events, or data.

Perform

Write the disable sequence: stop inbound acceptance; halt outbound delivery; drain or quarantine retries; revoke or rotate credentials; remove provider permissions and endpoints; record approved retention; then test the dead path with a synthetic event.

Check

The owner signs off only when the test event is neither accepted nor delivered and the evidence names where any residual record remains.

Capstone handoff

Package the inventory, routing matrix, identity sheet, duplicate test, unauthorised-recipient test, approval record, disable proof, and one unresolved limitation. Score scope/least privilege 30%, failure handling 25%, human control 25%, and auditability/offboarding 20%.

Next action

Do not present this draft as production instruction until a reviewer has captured current OpenClaw and provider-specific receipts for the exact adapter and test path.

Pass mark 100% · Attempt 1 of 3 · Not passed

A provider retries an event with the same stable event ID after the integration is disabled. What is the safe result?
Why this matters

Recipient safety requires default deny and stable duplicate detection after offboarding.
