QemuClaw – Put the claw in an aquarium (beta)

The project automates the tedious bits: bundled Windows installer (QEMU + 7-Zip), a setup wizard for VM resources, headless boot with a progress/status window, and a one-click path to OpenClaw's web UI — all sensible UX touches for a niche technical audience. It’s a pragmatic containment play for running risky LLM code locally, but it’s not a novel approach and the heavy VM downloads plus manual QEMU steps on macOS/Linux limit broad appeal.
