# clawdforge

LAN-only HTTP service that runs `claude -p` subprocess calls on behalf of Sulkta apps.
One container holds the Claude Code subscription auth; multiple apps consume via bearer
tokens + IP allowlist.

## Why

- **Auth in one place** — only this container needs to be `claude /login`'d, not every app
- **Smaller app images** — apps stay tiny Python/Go containers, no node/npm/claude-cli
- **Audit log** — every prompt + response chars + duration in one SQLite db
- **Reusable bone** — petalparse, cauldron, johnny5 all consume the same surface

## Surface

```
GET    /healthz                  liveness + claude --version smoke
POST   /run                      run a prompt, return parsed result
POST   /files                    upload a file, get a file_token to pass to /run

POST   /sessions                 create a multi-turn session  (v0.2)
POST   /sessions/<id>/turn       send a turn to a session     (v0.2)
GET    /sessions/<id>            read session state           (v0.2)
DELETE /sessions/<id>            soft-close a session         (v0.2)
GET    /sessions                 list this token's sessions   (v0.2)

POST   /admin/tokens             mint a per-app token (admin)
GET    /admin/tokens             list app tokens (admin)
DELETE /admin/tokens/<name>      revoke a token (admin)
```

### `POST /run`

```json
{
  "prompt": "Sterilize this ingredient line: 'about 2 cups of cooked white rice'",
  "model": "sonnet",
  "system": "You are a precise recipe parser. Always reply with valid JSON.",
  "files": ["ff_..."],
  "timeout_secs": 60
}
```

Returns:

```json
{
  "ok": true,
  "result": { "qty": 2, "unit": "cup", "food": "rice", "note": "cooked, white", "approx": true },
  "duration_ms": 4321,
  "stop_reason": "end_turn"
}
```

`result` is the inner `{"type":"result","result":"..."}` from `claude -p --output-format json`,
auto-stripped of code fences and JSON-parsed if possible. If the inner is not valid JSON, it's
returned as a string.

### `POST /files`

multipart/form-data, field `file`, optional `ttl_secs` (60..86400, default 3600).
Returns `{"file_token": "ff_...", "ttl_secs": 3600, "size": 12345}`.
Use that token in subsequent `/run` requests to attach the file via `claude -p --files`.

## Auth

Two layers:

1. **IP allowlist** — global CIDR list in `ALLOW_CIDRS` env. Loopback always allowed.
   Per-app allowlist optional on top (mint with `ip_cidrs: [...]`).
2. **Bearer token** — `Authorization: Bearer cf_<...>` for `/run` and `/files`,
   `Authorization: Bearer <ADMIN_BOOTSTRAP_TOKEN>` for `/admin/*`.

Tokens are SHA-256 hashed in SQLite. The plaintext is shown ONCE at create time.

## Deploy

1. SSH to Lucy: `ssh lucy`
2. `mkdir -p /mnt/user/appdata/clawdforge/{data,claude-config,claude-alt-config}`
3. Drop `.env` at `/mnt/cache/appdata/secrets/clawdforge.env` (chmod 600, root:root) — see `.env.example`
4. Clone the repo to `/opt/stacks/clawdforge` (Lucy uses Gitea reverse-tunnel pattern)
5. `cd /opt/stacks/clawdforge && docker compose up -d --build`
6. **Auth Claude CLI** (one-time, persists on volume):
   ```
   docker exec -it clawdforge claude /login
   ```
   Walk through the device-auth flow. Credentials persist at `/root/.claude/` inside the
   container, mapped to `/mnt/user/appdata/clawdforge/claude-config/` on host.
7. Smoke:
   ```
   curl http://192.168.0.5:8800/healthz
   ```
   Should report `claude_present: true` + a version string.
8. Mint a token for the first consumer:
   ```
   curl -sS -X POST http://192.168.0.5:8800/admin/tokens \
     -H "Authorization: Bearer $ADMIN_BOOTSTRAP_TOKEN" \
     -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
     -d '{"name":"cauldron","ip_cidrs":["172.24.0.0/16"]}'
   ```
   Save the returned `token` into the consumer's env.

## Client snippet (Python)

```python
import os, requests

CF = "http://192.168.0.5:8800"
TOKEN = os.environ["CLAWDFORGE_TOKEN"]

r = requests.post(
    f"{CF}/run",
    headers={"Authorization": f"Bearer {TOKEN}"},
    json={
        "prompt": 'Reply with JSON: {"hello": "world"}',
        "model": "sonnet",
        "timeout_secs": 30,
    },
    timeout=60,
)
r.raise_for_status()
print(r.json()["result"])  # {'hello': 'world'}
```

## Multi-turn / Sessions (v0.2)

`/run` is one-shot: stateless, fast, returns a single result. When you need
multi-turn context (build something step-by-step, debug across iterations,
long-running structured tool-call work), use `/sessions/*`.

The session surface is backed by [ACPX](https://github.com/openclaw/acpx) —
the OpenClaw team's headless Agent Client Protocol CLI. Clawdforge wraps it
so apps don't need to manage ACPX subprocesses or session metadata directly.
Sessions persist on disk under `/root/.acpx/sessions/` (mounted from the
host) so they survive container rebuilds.

### Quickstart — three turns in one session

```bash
TOKEN=$CLAWDFORGE_TOKEN
CF=http://192.168.0.5:8800

# 1. Create a session
SID=$(curl -sS -X POST $CF/sessions \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $TOKEN" -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"agent":"claude"}' | jq -r .session_id)

# 2. Send a turn
curl -sS -X POST $CF/sessions/$SID/turn \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $TOKEN" -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"prompt":"Help me draft a SQL migration. First describe what you need to know."}'

# 3. Send a follow-up — the session keeps context
curl -sS -X POST $CF/sessions/$SID/turn \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $TOKEN" -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"prompt":"Postgres 16, table users, add column tier text default \"free\""}'

# 4. Close
curl -sS -X DELETE $CF/sessions/$SID -H "Authorization: Bearer $TOKEN"
```

### Turn response shape

```json
{
  "ok": true,
  "session_id": "abc123...",
  "turn_index": 2,
  "events": [
    {"jsonrpc":"2.0","method":"session/update","params":{"sessionUpdate":"agent_message_chunk","content":{"type":"text","text":"..."}}},
    {"jsonrpc":"2.0","id":"req-1","result":{"stopReason":"end_turn"}}
  ],
  "stop_reason": "end_turn",
  "duration_ms": 12345
}
```

`events` is the raw ACP NDJSON stream from acpx, parsed into objects. Each
entry is a JSON-RPC message — `session/update` for streamed agent output,
tool calls, plan updates, etc., and a final `result` envelope with the
`stopReason`. No streaming/SSE in v0.2; the full event list is returned
when the turn ends.

### Per-app isolation

Every session is owned by the token that created it. Cross-token access
returns `404` (not `403`) so token A can't even probe whether token B's
session exists.

### TTL + cleanup

A background sweeper runs every `CLAWDFORGE_SWEEP_INTERVAL_SECS` (default 60s):

- Sessions idle longer than `CLAWDFORGE_SESSION_TTL_SECS` (default 1h) are
  soft-closed via `acpx sessions close`.
- Sessions whose `closed_at` is older than `CLAWDFORGE_SESSION_HARD_TTL_SECS`
  (default 24h) are hard-deleted from clawdforge's ledger.
- Closed sessions stay queryable via `GET /sessions/<id>` until the hard-TTL
  fires.

### Container / deploy

The container needs both `claude` and `acpx` on PATH plus a host-mounted
volume for ACPX's session store:

```yaml
# compose.yml (already configured)
volumes:
  - /mnt/user/appdata/clawdforge/acpx-sessions:/root/.acpx/sessions
```

```dockerfile
ENV ACPX_BIN=acpx
RUN npm install -g acpx@latest
```

ACPX shares Claude Code auth from the same `/root/.claude/` volume the v0.1
runtime already used, so a single `claude /login` ceremony covers both
`/run` and `/sessions/*`.

## Notes

- The CLI is `@anthropic-ai/claude-code` (not the Python `anthropic` SDK).
- ACPX is the upstream session driver — see https://github.com/openclaw/acpx
  and `docs/CLI.md` in that repo for protocol semantics. Clawdforge owns
  the per-app ledger and TTL policy; ACPX owns session content.
- Default model is `sonnet`; per-request override via `model` field on `/run`.
  For sessions, model is fixed at create time (configurable later).
- Per-run working directory is staged under `RUNS_DIR` and torn down on exit, so
  `claude` can't pollute the container's working tree.
- Per-session working directory is staged under `ACPX_SESSIONS_CWD` (default
  `/data/acpx-cwds/<session_id>`) and torn down on close.
- File uploads are scoped to the uploading app — token A can't reference token B's files.
