📄 Description

Problem

After running curl -fsSL https://molt.bot/install.sh | bash, the installer prints:

🦞 Moltbot installed successfully!

But running moltbot onboard fails with:

zsh: command not found: moltbot

Users must discover that the actual command is clawdbot, which contradicts all the branding.

Solution

Create a moltbot symlink alongside clawdbot in ensure_clawdbot_bin_link(), pointing to the same entry.js. This way both commands work.

Why not just rename the npm package?

That's the proper long-term fix, but this 5-line change unblocks users immediately while the full migration is in progress.

Testing

Tested on macOS (Apple Silicon) with fresh install:

# Before: only clawdbot exists
which clawdbot  # /opt/homebrew/bin/clawdbot
which moltbot   # not found

# After: both work
which clawdbot  # /opt/homebrew/bin/clawdbot  
which moltbot   # /opt/homebrew/bin/moltbot
moltbot --version  # 2026.1.24-3

Lightly tested (manual verification on macOS)
I understand what the code does — it's a 5-line symlink addition
