Venice's API doesn't support certain OpenAI-compatible parameters that Clawdbot sends by default: - `store`: Venice returns HTTP 400 with no body when this is present - `developer` role: Not supported by Venice's API This adds VENICE_COMPAT settings (supportsStore: false, supportsDeveloperRole: false) to all Venice model definitions, both from the static catalog and dynamically discovered models. Fixes issues reported in PR #1666 where users experienced silent failures (HTTP 400, no body) when using Venice models.

# `clawdbot node`
|
||
|
||
Run a **headless node host** that connects to the Gateway WebSocket and exposes
|
||
`system.run` / `system.which` on this machine.
|
||
|
||
## Why use a node host?
|
||
|
||
Use a node host when you want agents to **run commands on other machines** in your
|
||
network without installing a full macOS companion app there.
|
||
|
||
Common use cases:
|
||
- Run commands on remote Linux/Windows boxes (build servers, lab machines, NAS).
|
||
- Keep exec **sandboxed** on the gateway, but delegate approved runs to other hosts.
|
||
- Provide a lightweight, headless execution target for automation or CI nodes.
|
||
|
||
Execution is still guarded by **exec approvals** and per‑agent allowlists on the
|
||
node host, so you can keep command access scoped and explicit.
|
||
|
||
## Browser proxy (zero-config)
|
||
|
||
Node hosts automatically advertise a browser proxy if `browser.enabled` is not
|
||
disabled on the node. This lets the agent use browser automation on that node
|
||
without extra configuration.
|
||
|
||
Disable it on the node if needed:
|
||
|
||
```json5
|
||
{
|
||
nodeHost: {
|
||
browserProxy: {
|
||
enabled: false
|
||
}
|
||
}
|
||
}
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
## Run (foreground)
|
||
|
||
```bash
|
||
clawdbot node run --host <gateway-host> --port 18789
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
Options:
|
||
- `--host <host>`: Gateway WebSocket host (default: `127.0.0.1`)
|
||
- `--port <port>`: Gateway WebSocket port (default: `18789`)
|
||
- `--tls`: Use TLS for the gateway connection
|
||
- `--tls-fingerprint <sha256>`: Expected TLS certificate fingerprint (sha256)
|
||
- `--node-id <id>`: Override node id (clears pairing token)
|
||
- `--display-name <name>`: Override the node display name
|
||
|
||
## Service (background)
|
||
|
||
Install a headless node host as a user service.
|
||
|
||
```bash
|
||
clawdbot node install --host <gateway-host> --port 18789
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
Options:
|
||
- `--host <host>`: Gateway WebSocket host (default: `127.0.0.1`)
|
||
- `--port <port>`: Gateway WebSocket port (default: `18789`)
|
||
- `--tls`: Use TLS for the gateway connection
|
||
- `--tls-fingerprint <sha256>`: Expected TLS certificate fingerprint (sha256)
|
||
- `--node-id <id>`: Override node id (clears pairing token)
|
||
- `--display-name <name>`: Override the node display name
|
||
- `--runtime <runtime>`: Service runtime (`node` or `bun`)
|
||
- `--force`: Reinstall/overwrite if already installed
|
||
|
||
Manage the service:
|
||
|
||
```bash
|
||
clawdbot node status
|
||
clawdbot node stop
|
||
clawdbot node restart
|
||
clawdbot node uninstall
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
Use `clawdbot node run` for a foreground node host (no service).
|
||
|
||
Service commands accept `--json` for machine-readable output.
|
||
|
||
## Pairing
|
||
|
||
The first connection creates a pending node pair request on the Gateway.
|
||
Approve it via:
|
||
|
||
```bash
|
||
clawdbot nodes pending
|
||
clawdbot nodes approve <requestId>
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
The node host stores its node id, token, display name, and gateway connection info in
|
||
`~/.clawdbot/node.json`.
|
||
|
||
## Exec approvals
|
||
|
||
`system.run` is gated by local exec approvals:
|
||
|
||
- `~/.clawdbot/exec-approvals.json`
|
||
- [Exec approvals](/tools/exec-approvals)
|
||
- `clawdbot approvals --node <id|name|ip>` (edit from the Gateway)
