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.

RPC Adapters

RPC adapters

HanzoBot integrates external CLIs via JSON-RPC. Two patterns are used today.

Pattern A: HTTP daemon (signal-cli)

  • signal-cli runs as a daemon with JSON-RPC over HTTP.
  • Event stream is SSE (/api/v1/events).
  • Health probe: /api/v1/check.
  • HanzoBot owns lifecycle when channels.signal.autoStart=true.

See Signal for setup and endpoints.

Pattern B: stdio child process (legacy: imsg)

Note: For new iMessage setups, use BlueBubbles instead.

  • HanzoBot spawns imsg rpc as a child process (legacy iMessage integration).
  • JSON-RPC is line-delimited over stdin/stdout (one JSON object per line).
  • No TCP port, no daemon required.

Core methods used:

  • watch.subscribe → notifications (method: "message")
  • watch.unsubscribe
  • send
  • chats.list (probe/diagnostics)

See iMessage for legacy setup and addressing (chat_id preferred).

Adapter guidelines

  • Gateway owns the process (start/stop tied to provider lifecycle).
  • Keep RPC clients resilient: timeouts, restart on exit.
  • Prefer stable IDs (e.g., chat_id) over display strings.
