# Bundled Node Gateway (macOS)
Goal: ship **Clawdbot.app** with a self-contained relay that can run the CLI and
Gateway daemon. No global `npm install -g clawdbot`, no system Node requirement.
## What gets bundled
App bundle layout:
- `Clawdbot.app/Contents/Resources/Relay/node`
- Node runtime binary (downloaded during packaging, stripped for size)
- `Clawdbot.app/Contents/Resources/Relay/dist/`
- Compiled CLI/gateway payload from `pnpm exec tsc`
- `Clawdbot.app/Contents/Resources/Relay/node_modules/`
- Production dependencies staged via `pnpm deploy --prod --no-optional --legacy`
- `Clawdbot.app/Contents/Resources/Relay/clawdbot`
- Wrapper script that execs the bundled Node + dist entrypoint
- `Clawdbot.app/Contents/Resources/Relay/package.json`
- tiny “Pi runtime compatibility” file (see below, includes `"type": "module"`)
- `Clawdbot.app/Contents/Resources/Relay/skills/`
- Bundled skills payload (required for Pi tools)
- `Clawdbot.app/Contents/Resources/Relay/theme/`
- Pi TUI theme payload (optional, but strongly recommended)
- `Clawdbot.app/Contents/Resources/Relay/a2ui/`
- A2UI host assets (served by the gateway)
- `Clawdbot.app/Contents/Resources/Relay/control-ui/`
- Control UI build output (served by the gateway)
Why the sidecar files matter:
- The embedded Pi runtime detects “bundled relay mode” and then looks for
`package.json` + `theme/` **next to `process.execPath`** (i.e. next to
`node`). Keep the sidecar files.
## Build pipeline
Packaging script:
- [`scripts/package-mac-app.sh`](https://github.com/clawdbot/clawdbot/blob/main/scripts/package-mac-app.sh)
It builds:
- TS: `pnpm exec tsc`
- Swift app + helper: `swift build …`
- Relay payload: `pnpm deploy --prod --no-optional --legacy` + copy `dist/`
- Node runtime: downloads the latest Node release (override via `NODE_VERSION`)
Important knobs:
- `NODE_VERSION=22.12.0` → pin a specific Node version
- `NODE_DIST_MIRROR=…` → mirror for downloads (default: nodejs.org)
- `STRIP_NODE=0` → keep symbols (default strips to reduce size)
- `BUNDLED_RUNTIME=bun` → switch the relay build back to Bun (`bun --compile`)
Version injection:
- The relay wrapper exports `CLAWDBOT_BUNDLED_VERSION` so `--version` works
without reading `package.json` at runtime.
## Launchd (Gateway as LaunchAgent)
Label:
- `com.clawdbot.gateway`
Plist location (per-user):
- `~/Library/LaunchAgents/com.clawdbot.gateway.plist`
Manager:
- The macOS app owns LaunchAgent install/update for the bundled gateway.
Behavior:
- “Clawdbot Active” enables/disables the LaunchAgent.
- App quit does **not** stop the gateway (launchd keeps it alive).
- CLI install (`clawdbot daemon install`) writes the same LaunchAgent; `--force` rewrites it.
Logging:
- launchd stdout/err: `/tmp/clawdbot/clawdbot-gateway.log`
Default LaunchAgent env:
- `CLAWDBOT_IMAGE_BACKEND=sips` (avoid sharp native addon inside the bundle)
## Codesigning (hardened runtime + Node)
Node uses JIT. The bundled runtime is signed with:
- `com.apple.security.cs.allow-jit`
- `com.apple.security.cs.allow-unsigned-executable-memory`
This is applied by `scripts/codesign-mac-app.sh`.
## Image processing
To avoid shipping native `sharp` addons inside the bundle, the gateway defaults
to `/usr/bin/sips` for image ops when run from the app (via launchd env + wrapper).
## Tests / smoke checks
From a packaged app (local build):
```bash
dist/Clawdbot.app/Contents/Resources/Relay/clawdbot --version
CLAWDBOT_SKIP_PROVIDERS=1 \
CLAWDBOT_SKIP_CANVAS_HOST=1 \
dist/Clawdbot.app/Contents/Resources/Relay/clawdbot gateway --port 18999 --bind loopback
```
Then, in another shell:
```bash
pnpm -s clawdbot gateway call health --url ws://127.0.0.1:18999 --timeout 3000
```
