chore!: remove moltbot legacy state/config support

CHANGELOG.md

@@ -14,6 +14,10 @@ Docs: https://docs.openclaw.ai
 - Agents: add pre-prompt context diagnostics (`messages`, `systemPromptChars`, `promptChars`, provider/model, session file) before embedded runner prompt calls to improve overflow debugging. (#8930) Thanks @Glucksberg.
 - Onboarding/Providers: add first-class Hugging Face Inference provider support (provider wiring, onboarding auth choice/API key flow, and default-model selection), and preserve Hugging Face auth intent in auth-choice remapping (`tokenProvider=huggingface` with `authChoice=apiKey`) while skipping env-override prompts when an explicit token is provided. (#13472) Thanks @Josephrp.
 
+### Breaking
+
+- Config/State: removed legacy `.moltbot` auto-detection/migration and `moltbot.json` config candidates. If you still have state/config under `~/.moltbot`, move it to `~/.openclaw` (recommended) or set `OPENCLAW_STATE_DIR` / `OPENCLAW_CONFIG_PATH` explicitly.
+
 ### Fixes
 
 - Gateway/Auth: add trusted-proxy mode hardening follow-ups by keeping `OPENCLAW_GATEWAY_*` env compatibility, auto-normalizing invalid setup combinations in interactive `gateway configure` (trusted-proxy forces `bind=lan` and disables Tailscale serve/funnel), and suppressing shared-secret/rate-limit audit findings that do not apply to trusted-proxy deployments. (#15940) Thanks @nickytonline.
