Vendor OpenClaw source as Adolf fork baseline

Adolf is a fork/vendored clone of github.com/openclaw/openclaw (v2026.6.11),
free to diverge. Tree copied sans upstream .git; upstream remote added for
future syncs. Node pinned to 24 (.nvmrc); engines already require >=22.19.

+title: "Gateway architecture"
+---
+
+## Overview
+
+- A single long-lived **Gateway** owns all messaging surfaces (WhatsApp via
+  Baileys, Telegram via grammY, Slack, Discord, Signal, iMessage, WebChat).
+- Control-plane clients (macOS app, CLI, web UI, automations) connect to the
+  Gateway over **WebSocket** on the configured bind host (default
+  `127.0.0.1:18789`).
+- **Nodes** (macOS/iOS/Android/headless) also connect over **WebSocket**, but
+  declare `role: node` with explicit caps/commands.
+- One Gateway per host; it is the only place that opens a WhatsApp session.
+- The **canvas host** is served by the Gateway HTTP server under:
+  - `/__openclaw__/canvas/` (agent-editable HTML/CSS/JS)
+  - `/__openclaw__/a2ui/` (A2UI host)
+
+  It uses the same port as the Gateway (default `18789`).
+
+## Components and flows
+
+### Gateway (daemon)
+
+- Maintains provider connections.
+- Exposes a typed WS API (requests, responses, server-push events).
+- Validates inbound frames against JSON Schema.
+- Emits events like `agent`, `chat`, `presence`, `health`, `heartbeat`, `cron`.
+
+### Clients (mac app / CLI / web admin)
+
+- One WS connection per client.
+- Send requests (`health`, `status`, `send`, `agent`, `system-presence`).
+- Subscribe to events (`tick`, `agent`, `presence`, `shutdown`).
+
+### Nodes (macOS / iOS / Android / headless)
+
+- Connect to the **same WS server** with `role: node`.
+- Provide a device identity in `connect`; pairing is **device-based** (role `node`) and
+  approval lives in the device pairing store.
+- Expose commands like `canvas.*`, `camera.*`, `screen.record`, `location.get`.
+
+Protocol details: [Gateway protocol](/gateway/protocol)
+
+### WebChat
+
+- Static UI that uses the Gateway WS API for chat history and sends.
+- In remote setups, connects through the same SSH/Tailscale tunnel as other
+  clients.
+

+```
+
+## Wire protocol (summary)
+
+- Transport: WebSocket, text frames with JSON payloads.
+- First frame **must** be `connect`.
+- After handshake:
+  - Requests: `{type:"req", id, method, params}` → `{type:"res", id, ok, payload|error}`
+  - Events: `{type:"event", event, payload, seq?, stateVersion?}`
+- `hello-ok.features.methods` / `events` are discovery metadata, not a
+  generated dump of every callable helper route.
+- Shared-secret auth uses `connect.params.auth.token` or
+  `connect.params.auth.password`, depending on the configured gateway auth mode.
+- Identity-bearing modes such as Tailscale Serve
+  (`gateway.auth.allowTailscale: true`) or non-loopback
+  `gateway.auth.mode: "trusted-proxy"` satisfy auth from request headers
+  instead of `connect.params.auth.*`.
+- Private-ingress `gateway.auth.mode: "none"` disables shared-secret auth
+  entirely; keep that mode off public/untrusted ingress.
+- Idempotency keys are required for side-effecting methods (`send`, `agent`) to
+  safely retry; the server keeps a short-lived dedupe cache.
+- Nodes must include `role: "node"` plus caps/commands/permissions in `connect`.
+
+## Pairing and local trust
+
+- All WS clients (operators + nodes) include a **device identity** on `connect`.
+- New device IDs require pairing approval; the Gateway issues a **device token**
+  for subsequent connects.
+- Direct local loopback connects can be auto-approved to keep same-host UX
+  smooth.
+- OpenClaw also has a narrow backend/container-local self-connect path for
+  trusted shared-secret helper flows.
+- Tailnet and LAN connects, including same-host tailnet binds, still require
+  explicit pairing approval.
+- All connects must sign the `connect.challenge` nonce. Signature payload `v3`
+  also binds `platform` and `deviceFamily`; the gateway pins paired metadata on
+  reconnect and requires repair pairing for metadata changes.
+- **Non-local** connects still require explicit approval.
+- Gateway auth (`gateway.auth.*`) still applies to **all** connections, local or
+  remote.
+
+Details: [Gateway protocol](/gateway/protocol), [Pairing](/channels/pairing),
+[Security](/gateway/security).
+
+## Protocol typing and codegen
+
+- TypeBox schemas define the protocol.
+- JSON Schema is generated from those schemas.
+- Swift models are generated from the JSON Schema.
+
+## Remote access
+
+- Preferred: Tailscale or VPN.
+- Alternative: SSH tunnel
+
+  ```bash
+  ssh -N -L 18789:127.0.0.1:18789 user@gateway-host
+  ```
+
+- The same handshake + auth token apply over the tunnel.
+- TLS + optional pinning can be enabled for WS in remote setups.
+
+## Operations snapshot
+
+- Start: `openclaw gateway` (foreground, logs to stdout).
+- Health: `health` over WS (also included in `hello-ok`).
+- Supervision: launchd/systemd for auto-restart.
+
+## Invariants
+
+- Exactly one Gateway controls a single Baileys session per host.
+- Handshake is mandatory; any non-JSON or non-connect first frame is a hard close.
+- Events are not replayed; clients must refresh on gaps.
