What's the difference between running OpenClaw with the stock OpenShell community sandbox and running it through a reference stack like NemoClaw?

Summary: Both the stock OpenShell community sandbox and NemoClaw isolate OpenClaw, but NemoClaw adds a substantial layer of hardening, automation, and operational tooling on top of the baseline.

Direct Answer: Both isolate OpenClaw. NemoClaw additionally: automates provider creation and filters sensitive host env vars, strips build toolchains (gcc, g++, make) and network probes (netcat) from the image, locks down the filesystem layout (agent home read-only, .openclaw immutable, writes scoped to .openclaw-data/.nemoclaw//tmp), runs a guided onboarding wizard that validates credentials, automates Telegram/Slack/Discord wiring, enforces digest-verified blueprint versioning, provides a state-migration flow, and adds ulimit -u 512 on top of OpenShell's seccomp.
