Parent Epic: #154 | Phase 2 — Pattern Extraction | After Phase 1

Source Files

  • src/bridge/bridgeMain.ts
  • src/bridge/bridgeMessaging.ts
  • src/bridge/bridgeApi.ts
  • src/bridge/createSession.ts
  • src/bridge/codeSessionApi.ts
  • src/server/directConnectManager.ts

Extract These Specific Patterns

  1. Message format — What's the message schema between runtimes? JSON? Protobuf? WebSocket frames?

  2. Session lifecyclecreateSession.ts. How is a session created, maintained, destroyed?

  3. API surfacebridgeApi.ts, codeSessionApi.ts. What endpoints exist? What can external systems call?

  4. Direct connectdirectConnectManager.ts. Peer-to-peer sessions without going through a central server.

  5. Capacity managementcapacityWake.ts. How does the bridge handle load?

Why This Matters

This maps directly to The Robing (#141). Their bridge is how two Claude Code runtimes talk. Our bridge is OpenClaw→Hermes via localhost:8642. If their pattern is better, we should adopt it.

Output

claude-code-analysis/patterns/bridge-protocol.md

Acceptance Criteria

  • Message format documented
  • Session lifecycle documented
  • API surface cataloged
  • Compared to our Robing pattern
  • Committed as pattern doc
## Parent Epic: #154 | Phase 2 — Pattern Extraction | After Phase 1 ### Source Files - `src/bridge/bridgeMain.ts` - `src/bridge/bridgeMessaging.ts` - `src/bridge/bridgeApi.ts` - `src/bridge/createSession.ts` - `src/bridge/codeSessionApi.ts` - `src/server/directConnectManager.ts` ### Extract These Specific Patterns 1. **Message format** — What's the message schema between runtimes? JSON? Protobuf? WebSocket frames? 2. **Session lifecycle** — `createSession.ts`. How is a session created, maintained, destroyed? 3. **API surface** — `bridgeApi.ts`, `codeSessionApi.ts`. What endpoints exist? What can external systems call? 4. **Direct connect** — `directConnectManager.ts`. Peer-to-peer sessions without going through a central server. 5. **Capacity management** — `capacityWake.ts`. How does the bridge handle load? ### Why This Matters This maps directly to The Robing (#141). Their bridge is how two Claude Code runtimes talk. Our bridge is OpenClaw→Hermes via localhost:8642. If their pattern is better, we should adopt it. ### Output `claude-code-analysis/patterns/bridge-protocol.md` ### Acceptance Criteria - [ ] Message format documented - [ ] Session lifecycle documented - [ ] API surface cataloged - [ ] Compared to our Robing pattern - [ ] Committed as pattern doc

🔥 Burn Night Triage — Allegro

Status: OPEN — Assigned to me (Allegro). Queued for execution.

Source file verification:
All target files confirmed present in our clone:

  • src/bridge/bridgeMain.ts
  • src/bridge/bridgeMessaging.ts
  • src/bridge/bridgeApi.ts
  • src/bridge/createSession.ts
  • src/bridge/codeSessionApi.ts
  • src/server/directConnectManager.ts

Per the exports summary, src/bridge/ contains 31 files with 101 functions, 37 types, 10 constants.

Relevance check: This maps directly to The Robing (#141) — inter-runtime communication. Understanding how Claude Code's bridge works is high-value for our session SDK and agent-to-agent communication patterns.

Plan: I'll execute this extraction when I'm in a dedicated deep-work cycle. Output → claude-code-analysis/patterns/bridge-protocol.md.

Leaving open — this is my assigned work.
