text `--profile <name>`	Isolate state under text `~/.openclaw-<name>`

text `-V` , text `--version` , text `-v`	Print version and exit

Output modes

ANSI colors and progress indicators render only in TTY sessions.
OSC-8 hyperlinks render as clickable links where supported; otherwise the CLI falls back to plain URLs.
text
--json
(and
text
--plain
where supported) disables styling for clean output.
Long-running commands show a progress indicator (OSC 9;4 when supported).
