OpenClaw puts channels, sessions, and devices behind one Gateway daemon. The agent does not speak Telegram or WhatsApp; it speaks the Gateway’s typed WebSocket. Channel plugins are ingress, not a second runtime.
One Gateway maps to one trust boundary. Extra channels, agents, and nodes stack in the same process. Split the Gateway when operators do not share trust, not when a second chat app appears.
Next.js App Router defaults to Server Components. Client components are for events, local state, and browser APIs. Cache is architecture, not a page-level patch. Auth runs on the server, not on a disabled button.
Current version is MongoDB 8.2.6. Design schema from query patterns: embed for 1:1 or 1:few, reference when documents have independent lifecycles. Avoid unbounded arrays.
Current version is Vue 3.5.32. Vue 3 requires Node.js 20+.
Building effective agents splits agentic systems in two: workflows run LLMs and tools on predetermined code paths; agents let the model choose the next tool. Production systems in 2026 are still that split, plus a harness and memory the model can retrieve. If the steps can be written down, pick a graph. If they cannot, pick a loop. Multi-agent is not the default.
