summary: "Nodes: pairing, capabilities (canvas/camera), and the CLI helpers for screenshots + clips"
read_when:
- Pairing iOS/Android nodes to a gateway
- Using node canvas/camera for agent context
- Adding new node commands or CLI helpers

# Nodes
A **node** is a companion device (iOS/Android today) that connects to the Gateway over the **Bridge** and exposes a small command surface (e.g. `canvas.*`, `camera.*`) via `node.invoke`.
## Pairing + status
Pairing is gateway-owned and approval-based. See `docs/gateway/pairing.md` for the full flow.
Quick CLI:
```bash
clawdis nodes pending
clawdis nodes approve <requestId>
clawdis nodes reject <requestId>
clawdis nodes status
clawdis nodes describe --node <idOrNameOrIp>
```
## Invoking commands
Low-level (raw RPC):
```bash
clawdis nodes invoke --node <idOrNameOrIp> --command canvas.eval --params '{"javaScript":"location.href"}'
```
Higher-level helpers exist for the common “give the agent a MEDIA attachment” workflows.
## Screenshots (canvas snapshots)
If the node is showing the Canvas (WebView), `canvas.snapshot` returns `{ format, base64 }`.
CLI helper (writes to a temp file and prints `MEDIA:<path>`):
```bash
clawdis nodes canvas snapshot --node <idOrNameOrIp> --format png
clawdis nodes canvas snapshot --node <idOrNameOrIp> --format jpg --max-width 1200 --quality 0.9
```
## Photos + videos (node camera)
Photos (`jpg`):
```bash
clawdis nodes camera snap --node <idOrNameOrIp> # default: both facings (2 MEDIA lines)
clawdis nodes camera snap --node <idOrNameOrIp> --facing front
```
Video clips (`mp4`):
```bash
clawdis nodes camera clip --node <idOrNameOrIp> --duration 10s
clawdis nodes camera clip --node <idOrNameOrIp> --duration 3000 --no-audio
```
Notes:
- The node must be **foregrounded** for `canvas.*` and `camera.*` (background calls return `NODE_BACKGROUND_UNAVAILABLE`).
- Clip duration is clamped (currently `<= 60s`) to avoid oversized base64 payloads.
- Android will prompt for `CAMERA`/`RECORD_AUDIO` permissions when possible; denied permissions fail with `*_PERMISSION_REQUIRED`.
## Where to look in code
- CLI wiring: `src/cli/nodes-cli.ts`
- Canvas snapshot decoding/temp paths: `src/cli/nodes-canvas.ts`
- Duration parsing for CLI: `src/cli/parse-duration.ts`
- iOS node commands: `apps/ios/Sources/Model/NodeAppModel.swift`
- Android node commands: `apps/android/app/src/main/java/com/steipete/clawdis/node/node/*`
