How OpenClaw Works?
Open Claw runs a single long-lived Gateway that owns all messaging surfaces and exposes a typed WebSocket API for control-plane clients like the macOS app, CLI, and web UI. When a message arrives, the Gateway routes it to the appropriate agent, which then runs through a full loop of context assembly, model inference, and tool execution before streaming a reply back.
