Agent ships ~600 PRs to migrate OpenClaw frontend from Lit to Solid 2.0 in ~2 weeks

Developer steipete (Peter Steinberger) shares results of an autonomous agent loop migrating OpenClaw's Lit-based web frontend to Solid 2.0.
- Timeline: 6 days to remove Lit, another week to move to idiomatic Solid patterns; 600 PRs total, with him checking in on the session every other day—mostly automatic.
- Outcome: smaller JS/CSS footprint and finer-grained update control. He found a few tiny regressions the agent missed (button shapes, minor UX), but was amazed at how well it worked: "technical debt can now be counted in tokens."
