zooqueenandHanzo Dev cbacae5efd chore: complete Hanzo Bot rebranding — purge all bot.molt legacy names
Replace all bot.molt.* identifiers with ai.hanzo.bot.* across:
- LaunchAgent labels (constants.ts + tests)
- iOS bundle IDs, dispatch queues, logger subsystems
- iOS fastlane Appfile (bot.molt.ios → ai.hanzo.bot.ios)
- iOS project.yml branding (display name → Hanzo Bot)
- macOS icon file rename (Bot.icns → HanzoBot.icns)
- appcast.xml title (Bot → Hanzo Bot)
- auto-response workflow (moltbook → off-topic)
- All English and Chinese documentation (32 doc files)
- scripts/restart-mac.sh launchd plist reference

Uninstall Hanzo Bot completely (CLI, service, state, workspace)
You want to remove Hanzo Bot from a machine
The gateway service is still running after uninstall
Uninstall

Uninstall

Two paths:

  • Easy path if bot is still installed.
  • Manual service removal if the CLI is gone but the service is still running.

Easy path (CLI still installed)

Recommended: use the built-in uninstaller:

hanzo-bot uninstall

Non-interactive (automation / npx):

hanzo-bot uninstall --all --yes --non-interactive
npx -y hanzo-bot uninstall --all --yes --non-interactive

Manual steps (same result):

  1. Stop the gateway service:
hanzo-bot gateway stop
  1. Uninstall the gateway service (launchd/systemd/schtasks):
hanzo-bot gateway uninstall
  1. Delete state + config:
rm -rf "${BOT_STATE_DIR:-$HOME/.bot}"

If you set BOT_CONFIG_PATH to a custom location outside the state dir, delete that file too.

  1. Delete your workspace (optional, removes agent files):
rm -rf ~/.hanzo/bot/workspace
  1. Remove the CLI install (pick the one you used):
npm rm -g bot
pnpm remove -g bot
bun remove -g bot
  1. If you installed the macOS app:
rm -rf /Applications/Hanzo Bot.app

Notes:

  • If you used profiles (--profile / BOT_PROFILE), repeat step 3 for each state dir (defaults are ~/.hanzo/bot-<profile>).
  • In remote mode, the state dir lives on the gateway host, so run steps 1-4 there too.

Manual service removal (CLI not installed)

Use this if the gateway service keeps running but bot is missing.

macOS (launchd)

Default label is ai.hanzo.bot.gateway (or ai.hanzo.bot.<profile>; legacy com.bot.* may still exist):

launchctl bootout gui/$UID/ai.hanzo.bot.gateway
rm -f ~/Library/LaunchAgents/ai.hanzo.bot.gateway.plist

If you used a profile, replace the label and plist name with ai.hanzo.bot.<profile>. Remove any legacy com.bot.* plists if present.

Linux (systemd user unit)

Default unit name is bot-gateway.service (or bot-gateway-<profile>.service):

systemctl --user disable --now bot-gateway.service
rm -f ~/.config/systemd/user/bot-gateway.service
systemctl --user daemon-reload

Windows (Scheduled Task)

Default task name is Hanzo Bot Gateway (or Hanzo Bot Gateway (<profile>)). The task script lives under your state dir.

schtasks /Delete /F /TN "Hanzo Bot Gateway"
Remove-Item -Force "$env:USERPROFILE\.bot\gateway.cmd"

If you used a profile, delete the matching task name and ~\.bot-<profile>\gateway.cmd.

Normal install vs source checkout

Normal install (install.sh / npm / pnpm / bun)

If you used https://hanzo.bot/install.sh or install.ps1, the CLI was installed with npm install -g bot@latest. Remove it with npm rm -g bot (or pnpm remove -g / bun remove -g if you installed that way).

Source checkout (git clone)

If you run from a repo checkout (git clone + hanzo-bot ... / bun run hanzo-bot ...):

  1. Uninstall the gateway service before deleting the repo (use the easy path above or manual service removal).
  2. Delete the repo directory.
  3. Remove state + workspace as shown above.
