+## OpenClaw Install Warning
+
+If OpenClaw shows a warning about **dangerous code patterns** when installing or updating mnemospark—often mentioning shell execution (`child_process`), environment variables, and network access—here is what is going on.
+
+mnemospark is an **OpenClaw plugin** that talks to **your configured mnemospark backend**, runs a **local HTTP proxy** for storage workflows, and can **invoke the `openclaw` CLI** and system tools when needed (for example creating archives with `tar` or running `npm` when you use the update command). Those features use the same low-level Node.js APIs—`child_process` and `fetch`—that security tools also associate with risky software, so the installer may warn you even when the behavior is intentional and benign.
+
+We also read **environment variables** you set on purpose (such as `MNEMOSPARK_BACKEND_API_BASE_URL`, `MNEMOSPARK_PROXY_PORT`, or wallet-related settings) so you can configure the plugin without editing code. Automated scans sometimes flag “environment access + network” as a possible credential-stealing pattern. In mnemospark, that combination exists because the plugin is **configurable and networked by design**, not because we are harvesting your unrelated secrets.
+
+mnemospark is **open source**. If you want extra assurance, review the repository, search for `child_process`, `process.env`, and `fetch`, and run your own tests in a safe environment. The warning helps keep the ecosystem safe; for mnemospark it reflects **capabilities**, not a finding of malicious intent.
