# 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`.
|
||
|
||
macOS can also run in **node mode**: the menubar app connects to the Gateway’s bridge and exposes its local canvas/camera commands as a node (so `clawdis nodes …` works against this Mac).
|
||
|
||
## 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/*`
