zeekay acaeda400a Eradicate OpenClaw — resolve merge conflicts and finish the rebrand
Three coordinated things:

1. Resolve the committed upstream/main merge conflicts. 94 files were
   sitting with raw <<<<<<< HEAD ... >>>>>>> upstream/main blocks. Every
   conflict had HanzoBot/Bot on HEAD and OpenClaw on upstream. Resolved
   by keeping HEAD everywhere — 540 conflict blocks.

2. Rewrite remaining OpenClaw text refs.
     OPENCLAW   → HANZO_BOT
     OpenClaw   → HanzoBot          (PascalCase type identifiers)
     openclaw   → bot               (codebase convention — botToken,
                                    botUsername etc.; avoids invalid
                                    hyphenated JS identifiers)
     openclaw[_]/openclaw[A-Z] → bot[_]/bot[A-Z]   (compound)
     ai.openclaw.x → ai.hanzo.bot.x  (JVM package path)

3. Delete or rename openclaw-named file paths (116 of them). Dead
   duplicates with a Bot-named canonical from the partial migration:
   deleted. Otherwise renamed.
     ai/openclaw/**           → deleted (ai/hanzo/bot/** canonical)
     Sources/OpenClaw*/       → deleted (Sources/Bot* canonical)
     Tests/OpenClawIPCTests/  → deleted (Tests/BotIPCTests canonical)
     OpenClawKit/             → deleted (BotKit canonical)
     openclaw-tools.*.ts      → deleted (bot-tools.*.ts canonical)
     openclaw-root.ts etc.    → deleted (bot-root.ts canonical)
     types.openclaw.ts        → deleted (types.bot.ts canonical)
     extensions/*/openclaw.plugin.json → renamed hanzo-bot.plugin.json
     docs/start/openclaw.md   → renamed hanzo-bot.md (+ zh-CN)
     docs/assets/openclaw-*.png, whatsapp-openclaw*.jpg → deleted
     scripts/.../openclaw-*   → deleted (bot/hanzo-bot parallels)
     openclaw.mjs             → deleted (hanzo-bot.mjs is package.bin)

Then patched 65 broken JS/TS import strings where hanzo-bot had ended
up inside an import path ('./types.hanzo-bot.js' → './types.bot.js'
etc., since the on-disk filename uses the brand-neutral bot- prefix).

Pre-existing lint debt cleaned up to get oxlint --type-aware to 0/0:
removed the dead i18n test that referenced a path no longer existing;
defined the missing DIDConfig and WalletConfig types in types.base.ts
(they were imported but never declared); dropped unused imports;
collapsed redundant type assertion and a tautological meta.bot lookup
that the openclaw→bot rename made redundant.

The a2ui.bundle.js generated artifact is kept at its pre-rebrand
contents — it gets regenerated by 'pnpm canvas:a2ui:bundle' from
sources I cannot rebuild in this commit; the source side is clean.

Verified: 0 occurrences of openclaw (case-insensitive) in tree source
content, 0 file or directory paths with openclaw in the name; oxlint
--type-aware src test reports 0/0.

Presence

Presence

HanzoBot “presence” is a lightweight, best‑effort view of:

  • the Gateway itself, and
  • clients connected to the Gateway (mac app, WebChat, CLI, etc.)

Presence is used primarily to render the macOS app’s Instances tab and to provide quick operator visibility.

Presence fields (what shows up)

Presence entries are structured objects with fields like:

  • instanceId (optional but strongly recommended): stable client identity (usually connect.client.instanceId)
  • host: human‑friendly host name
  • ip: best‑effort IP address
  • version: client version string
  • deviceFamily / modelIdentifier: hardware hints
  • mode: ui, webchat, cli, backend, probe, test, node, ...
  • lastInputSeconds: “seconds since last user input” (if known)
  • reason: self, connect, node-connected, periodic, ...
  • ts: last update timestamp (ms since epoch)

Producers (where presence comes from)

Presence entries are produced by multiple sources and merged.

1) Gateway self entry

The Gateway always seeds a “self” entry at startup so UIs show the gateway host even before any clients connect.

2) WebSocket connect

Every WS client begins with a connect request. On successful handshake the Gateway upserts a presence entry for that connection.

Why one‑off CLI commands don’t show up

The CLI often connects for short, one‑off commands. To avoid spamming the Instances list, client.mode === "cli" is not turned into a presence entry.

3) system-event beacons

Clients can send richer periodic beacons via the system-event method. The mac app uses this to report host name, IP, and lastInputSeconds.

4) Node connects (role: node)

When a node connects over the Gateway WebSocket with role: node, the Gateway upserts a presence entry for that node (same flow as other WS clients).

Merge + dedupe rules (why instanceId matters)

Presence entries are stored in a single in‑memory map:

  • Entries are keyed by a presence key.
  • The best key is a stable instanceId (from connect.client.instanceId) that survives restarts.
  • Keys are case‑insensitive.

If a client reconnects without a stable instanceId, it may show up as a duplicate row.

TTL and bounded size

Presence is intentionally ephemeral:

  • TTL: entries older than 5 minutes are pruned
  • Max entries: 200 (oldest dropped first)

This keeps the list fresh and avoids unbounded memory growth.

Remote/tunnel caveat (loopback IPs)

When a client connects over an SSH tunnel / local port forward, the Gateway may see the remote address as 127.0.0.1. To avoid overwriting a good client‑reported IP, loopback remote addresses are ignored.

Consumers

macOS Instances tab

The macOS app renders the output of system-presence and applies a small status indicator (Active/Idle/Stale) based on the age of the last update.

Debugging tips

  • To see the raw list, call system-presence against the Gateway.
  • If you see duplicates:
    • confirm clients send a stable client.instanceId in the handshake
    • confirm periodic beacons use the same instanceId
    • check whether the connection‑derived entry is missing instanceId (duplicates are expected)
