Fix OpenClaw gateway launch: binary renamed openclaw, add gateway subcommand

The nix-openclaw package renamed the binary from openclaw-gateway to
openclaw, and the gateway now runs as a subcommand. Also adds CLAUDE.md
and openclaw-todo.md.

# CLAUDE.md
## Build commands
```bash
# macOS (from ~/dotfiles/nixos)
darwin-rebuild switch --flake .
# NixOS server (SSH from mac, or on server)
sudo nixos-rebuild switch --flake .#sunken-ship
# WSL
sudo nixos-rebuild switch --flake ~/dotfiles/nixos#wsl
# Update flake + rebuild (fish alias: nixupdate)
cd ~/dotfiles/nixos && sudo nix flake update && sudo darwin-rebuild switch --flake ~/dotfiles/nixos#Daniel-Macbook-Air
# Installer ISO (Linux only, cannot build on macOS)
cd ~/dotfiles/nixos && nix build .#installer-iso
```
## Rebuild protocol
**Never run rebuild commands automatically.** When changing Nix config files, always ask the user to rebuild first. Do not assume packages are available until after a successful rebuild.
## Flake architecture
- **Flake:** `nixos/flake.nix` — single flake for all hosts
- **Inputs:** nixpkgs-unstable, nix-darwin, home-manager, nixos-wsl, disko, zen-browser, nix-openclaw, openclaw-documents
- **Host configs** in `nixos/hosts/`:
- `macos.nix` — Apple Silicon MacBook Air (aarch64-darwin, nix-darwin)
- `sunken-ship.nix` — NixOS home server (x86_64-linux)
- `wsl.nix` — WSL (x86_64-linux)
- `macbookair.nix` — old MacBook Air NixOS/WSL config
- `server-install.nix` — disko-install target (LUKS + WiFi)
- **Home Manager:** integrated via `home-manager.darwinModules.home-manager` on macOS; user config in `nixos/home/danny/home.nix`
- **Shared modules:** `nixos/fish.nix` (fish + bash), `nixos/tmux.nix`, `nixos/ollama.nix`
- **Darwin config name:** `Daniel-Macbook-Air` (must match in rebuild commands)
## Repo rules
- **Public repo** — no keys, tokens, or identifying secrets. Use `scp` or config outside the repo.
- **SSH keys:** one key per purpose (e.g. `id_ed25519_github`, `id_ed25519_servers`). Use `IdentityFile` + `IdentitiesOnly yes` in `~/.ssh/config`. Keys stay outside the repo.
- **Commit and push** before testing on sunken-ship — the server clones/pulls from origin.
## Server (sunken-ship)
- SSH: `ssh -i ~/.ssh/id_ed25519_sunken_ship danny@sunken-ship`
- Remote rebuild: `ssh ... 'cd /etc/dotfiles/nixos && sudo nixos-rebuild switch --flake .#sunken-ship'`
- Auto-rebuild timer: `dotfiles-rebuild` — only active after flake config switch. Check with `systemctl is-active dotfiles-rebuild.timer`.
- Server has WiFi; stays reachable when ethernet is unplugged.
## OpenClaw
AI assistant gateway (Telegram), integrated in the flake. Config: `nixos/home/danny/openclaw.nix`. Documents (SOUL.md, TOOLS.md) come from a separate local repo via the `openclaw-documents` flake input (path: `/Users/danny/dotfiles/openclaw-documents-repo`). Secrets (bot token, gateway token, Telegram user ID) live in `~/.secrets/` or the config. One apply: `darwin-rebuild switch --flake .`.
## Ollama
Custom nix-darwin module at `nixos/ollama.nix` (upstream PR not yet merged). Enabled on macOS via `nixos/hosts/macos.nix`. Runs as a launchd user agent with `ollama serve`.
## Shell
Fish is the default shell. Bash auto-execs fish unless the parent process is already fish. Vi keybindings with fzf integration. Zoxide aliased to `cd`.

# OpenClaw Setup TODO
## Current state
OpenClaw is **already fully wired** into the macOS (Daniel-Macbook-Air) darwin config:
- **Keep:** `nix-openclaw` flake input, overlay, home-manager module import — all correct
- **Keep:** `nixos/home/danny/openclaw.nix` — working config with launchd agent, wrapper, documents integration
- **Keep:** `openclaw-gateway-wrapper.sh` — loads gateway token from `~/.secrets/` at runtime
- **Keep:** `openclaw-allow-from.nix` (gitignored) — Telegram user ID allowlist
- **Scrap/fix:** `home.activation.backupOpenclawBeforeSwitch` — marked as bloat in a TODO; remove once confirmed unnecessary
- **Not wired:** `sunken-ship` and `macbookair` NixOS configs have zero OpenClaw references
## Phase 1: Get OpenClaw running on macOS (Daniel-Macbook-Air)
- [ ] Ensure `openclaw-documents-repo` exists at `~/dotfiles/openclaw-documents-repo` (or clone it)
- [ ] Create secrets:
- `~/.secrets/telegram-bot-token` (from @BotFather)
- `~/.secrets/openclaw-gateway-token` (gateway auth token)
- [ ] Copy `openclaw-allow-from.nix.example``openclaw-allow-from.nix`, fill in Telegram user ID(s)
- [ ] Rebuild: `cd ~/dotfiles/nixos && darwin-rebuild switch --flake .`
- [ ] Verify launchd agent: `launchctl list | grep openclaw`
- [ ] Test: message bot on Telegram
- [ ] Verify Ollama integration: `ollama list` (already enabled via `macos.nix``ollama.nix`)
## Phase 2: Move to dedicated server (sunken-ship or new host)
- [ ] **Decide:** run OpenClaw on sunken-ship (existing) or a new host (phantom-ship)?
- [ ] Add `nix-openclaw` + `openclaw-documents` to the NixOS config's `specialArgs` (currently only passed to darwinConfigurations)
- [ ] Port `openclaw.nix` from home-manager launchd agent → systemd user service (or system service)
- Replace `launchd.agents` block with `systemd.user.services` equivalent
- Update wrapper to use systemd `EnvironmentFile=` instead of bash wrapper
- [ ] Handle secrets on server:
- `scp` token files to server `~/.secrets/` (don't commit)
- Or use `agenix`/`sops-nix` for encrypted secrets in repo
- [ ] Decide on documents: clone `openclaw-documents-repo` on server, or use GitHub flake input instead of local path
- [ ] If Ollama needed on server: port `ollama.nix` (launchd → systemd) or use nixpkgs `services.ollama` (available in NixOS, not nix-darwin)
- [ ] Rebuild on server: `sudo nixos-rebuild switch --flake .#sunken-ship`
## Packaging decisions
| Decision | Current | Options |
|---|---|---|
| OpenClaw binary | `nix-openclaw` flake input | **Keep** — gives overlay + HM module |
| Documents | Local path flake input | Local path for dev, switch to `github:` for server |
| Ollama on macOS | Custom `ollama.nix` (PR #972) | **Keep** until nix-darwin merges upstream |
| Ollama on NixOS | Not configured | Use `services.ollama` from nixpkgs (built-in on NixOS) |
| Secrets | Files in `~/.secrets/` | Fine for now; consider `sops-nix` if adding more |
