feat: add dashboard command

CHANGELOG.md

@@ -20,6 +20,7 @@
 - Memory: embedding providers support OpenAI or local `node-llama-cpp`; config adds defaults + per-agent overrides, provider/fallback metadata surfaced in tools/CLI.
 - CLI/Tools: new `clawdbot memory` commands plus `memory_search`/`memory_get` tools returning snippets + line ranges and provider info.
 - Runtime: memory index stored under `~/.clawdbot/memory/{agentId}.sqlite` with watch-on-by-default; inline status replies now stay auth-gated while inline prompts continue to the agent.
+- CLI/Onboarding: `clawdbot dashboard` prints/copies the tokenized Control UI link and opens it; onboarding now auto-opens the dashboard with your token and keeps the link in the summary.
 
 ### Fixes
 - Auto-reply: inline `/status` now honors allowlists (authorized stripped + replied inline; unauthorized leaves text for the agent) to match command gating tests.

+When onboarding finishes, we auto-open the dashboard with your gateway token and print the tokenized link. To reopen later: `clawdbot dashboard`.

 ## Give the agent a workspace (AGENTS)
 
 Clawd reads operating instructions and “memory” from its workspace directory.

 The wizard can also build UI assets automatically. After onboarding, you typically run the Gateway on port **18789**.
 
+### How do I open the dashboard after onboarding?
+
+The wizard now opens your browser with a tokenized dashboard URL right after onboarding and also prints the full link (with token) in the summary. Keep that tab open; if it didn’t launch, copy/paste the printed URL on the same machine. Tokens stay local to your host—nothing is fetched from the browser.
+
 ### What runtime do I need?
 
 Node **>= 22** is required. `pnpm` is recommended; `bun` is optional.
