Summary

  • document a workaround for long responses that may not fit well in the OpenClaw TUI view
  • add the workaround to both the README quickstart and the command reference
  • point users to openclaw agent --agent main --local -m "<prompt>" --session-id <id> when they need the full response printed directly in the terminal

Root cause

The issue is documentation/UX, not runtime behavior: the CLI workaround exists, but it was not documented where users are most likely to look when the TUI truncates or visually clips long output.

Validation

  • verified the new note appears in README.md
  • verified the same workaround appears in docs/reference/commands.md
  • confirmed the diff is scoped to the two documentation files only

Fixes #324
