Description

Embed the OpenClaw chat interface into The Matrix as a "portal" or "chat scroll" — a UI element where Timmy (and Alex) can communicate with the OpenClaw agent directly from the Matrix world.

Tasks

  1. Design the portal UI — A chat panel/scroll that fits the Matrix aesthetic
    • Could be an iframe to the OpenClaw web UI
    • Or a custom chat component that talks to the OpenClaw API
  2. Wire the API — Connect to OpenClaw's gateway API for sending/receiving messages
    • Endpoint: POST /api/v1/chat (or similar)
    • Auth: Bearer token
  3. Session management — Ensure conversations persist and are tied to Timmy's session
  4. Visual integration — The portal should feel like part of the Matrix, not a bolt-on
  5. Test end-to-end — Send a message from the Matrix UI → OpenClaw → Ollama → response displayed

Acceptance Criteria

  • Chat portal is visible in The Matrix
  • Messages sent from the Matrix reach OpenClaw
  • Responses from OpenClaw display in the Matrix
  • Conversation history persists within a session

🧹 Closed — Rejected Direction (OpenClaw)

OpenClaw direction was explicitly rejected by the principal. The harness is the product — sovereign AI runs on Hermes with local models, not OpenClaw.

Ref: Deep Backlog Triage #1076. Reopen if needed.
