The debate over how to install software on a server usually ends in a stalemate because everyone has their own habits.

Your disk reports free space, and the server still refuses to write a file — that is inodes, not gigabytes, and df -h will never show it. The full diagnostic path from df and du to ncdu, find and lsof +L1, plus what is safe to delete and how to keep the disk from filling up again.

OpenClaw is not a model — it is the layer that decides which tool to reach for, with access to your files, shell, browser and APIs.
