The .env fallback paths were hardcoded to OpenClaw-private directories (/root/.openclaw/.env and ~/.openclaw/.env). Together with the skill-root .env -- which lives in a directory managed by the skills CLI and may be wiped on update -- non-OpenClaw users had no agent-agnostic, update-safe place to put WEB_SEARCH_API_KEY. This matters because agents launched as daemons (launchd-managed gateways, GUI apps) do not inherit shell exports, so the currently documented `export WEB_SEARCH_API_KEY` approach does not work for them. Add $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/byted-web-search/.env (falling back to ~/.config/byted-web-search/.env), keeping the existing paths. Because loading uses os.environ.setdefault (first wins), precedence is unchanged for existing OpenClaw users: ~/.openclaw/.env > /root/.openclaw/.env > $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/... Verified with a clean environment (env -i, no shell inheritance): - XDG path only -> key loaded - ~/.openclaw/.env only -> key loaded (backwards compatible) - both present -> OpenClaw wins, behavior unchanged - custom XDG_CONFIG_HOME -> key loaded - none present -> reports missing credentials A cwd .env was deliberately not added: agents may invoke the script from arbitrary project directories, which would let any repository inject environment variables.

问题
byted-web-search的.env回退路径硬编码为 OpenClaw 私有目录：配合 skill 根目录
.env（scripts/web_search.py:430），共三处。对非 OpenClaw 用户而言：前两处无效；第三处位于受
skillsCLI 管理的目录内，更新时可能被清除。结果是没有任何一个「跨 Agent 且不被 update 覆盖」的配置位置可用。
影响场景
以守护进程方式启动的 Agent（如 launchd 拉起的网关、GUI 启动的桌面客户端）不继承 shell 中 export 的环境变量，
因此
references/setup-guide.md中「export WEB_SEARCH_API_KEY写入~/.bashrc」的建议对这些 Agent 不生效。修复
新增 XDG 通用路径
$XDG_CONFIG_HOME/byted-web-search/.env（未设置时回落~/.config/byted-web-search/.env），原有路径全部保留。由于加载采用
os.environ.setdefault（先到先得），优先级为：原路径仍排在前面，既有 OpenClaw 用户行为完全不变。同时补充了
references/setup-guide.md的配置说明。验证
在
env -i干净环境下（零 shell 继承，模拟守护进程场景）实测：$XDG_CONFIG_HOME/byted-web-search/.env~/.openclaw/.envXDG_CONFIG_HOME未采纳的方案
不新增 cwd 的
.env：Agent 可能在任意项目目录下调用脚本，从 cwd 读取.env会让任意仓库具备注入环境变量的能力。Generated with AI assistance
