Boundaries

This file defines the three operating zones of the future public distro.

1. Public Core

Public core should include:

portable memory orchestration
local model router
nightly maintenance wrappers
task and delegation schemas
default persistent-agent pack
onboarding documentation
public-safe context and advisory wrappers

Public core must not require:

personal credentials
personal channels
private reports
absolute /root/.openclaw/... assumptions

2. Optional Adapters

Optional adapters are integrations that improve the distro but should not be required for a clean OSS install.

Examples:

GitNexus repo intelligence
advanced observability surfaces
extra providers
richer mission-control style dashboards

Rule:

optional adapters can be enabled later
the base distro should still work without them

3. Private Overlay

Private overlay stays out of the public repo.

Examples:

real openclaw.json
real bot tokens and OAuth credentials
allowlists
personal contacts, calendars, legal and finance data
live runtime state
private incident and operator memory
user-specific routing doctrine

4. Migration Rule

Every private feature must be classified before extraction:

copy = already public-safe
rewrite = useful but coupled to private assumptions
exclude = must remain private
