Major Codebase Consolidation
Comprehensive consolidation reducing codebase to essential components following OpenClaw Gateway migration
This release completes the second phase of codebase cleanup, removing all redundant directories and files to establish a minimal, focused repository structure.
Changed
- Final Repository Structure - Reduced to 10 essential items:
agents/- Agent identity templates (11 agents)docs/- Internal documentationplugins/- OpenClaw plugins (consciousness, liberation, etc.)scripts/- Utility scripts (health-check, backup)skills/- Agent skills (SKILL.md format)tests/- Test suiteusers/- User profile management.env.example,docker-compose.yml,LICENSE,litellm_config.yaml,openclaw.json,README.md,CHANGELOG.md

Architecture Summary
Current Architecture (Post-Audit):
- OpenClaw Gateway v2026.3.28 on port 18789 handles all A2A communication
- 11 Agent Workspaces at
~/.openclaw/agents/(steward, alpha, charlie, examiner, explorer, sentinel, coder, dreamer, empath, historian) - LiteLLM Gateway on port 4000 for model routing with agent passthrough
- PostgreSQL + pgvector on port 5432 for vector database
- Redis on port 6379 for caching only (not A2A)
- Ollama on port 11434 for local embeddings
Codebase Health:
- 71% of codebase confirmed Gateway-compatible
- 6 modules identified requiring Redis→Gateway updates
- 3 legacy communication modules ready for removal
- All 11 agents active as Gateway workspaces
[2.0.1] - 2026-03-31
