Remote Mac

Use when user says MacBook, Mac Studio, framed, Tailscale, or asks to run/check something on Aditya's Macs.

Aditya's Devices

• Primary: MacBook Pro. Tailscale adityas-macbook-pro-1.
• Workhorse: Mac Studio. Local adityas-macstudio / adityas-macstudio.local; Tailscale adityas-mac-studio; prefer adityasharma@adityas-macstudio.local.
• Framed: arch linux, not moltymac when healthy. tmux session, details in ~/sysadmin on that machine.

Manager repo truth: /Users/adityasharma/Projects/manager/computers.yaml, agents.yaml.

Discovery

1. tailscale status → pick matching host.
2. Tailscale down / SSH timeout → LAN fallback:

dns-sd -B _ssh._tcp local
arp -a

3. Try mDNS HOST.local.
4. Mac Studio: prefer steipete-macstudio.local when Tailscale SSH times out.

SSH Rules

Default non-interactive:

ssh -o RequestTTY=no -o RemoteCommand=none HOST 'COMMAND'

Local alias adityas-mac-studio auto-attaches tmux. For one-shot commands, use flags above.

Long-running/interactive → tmux on remote, obvious session name.

OpenClaw Checks

Login shells for Homebrew/pnpm PATH:

ssh -o RequestTTY=no -o RemoteCommand=none steipete@steipete-macstudio.local \
  'zsh -lc "openclaw gateway status --json; openclaw channels status --json"'

Mac Studio / Molty healthy shape:

• tmux list-sessions includes openclaw-gateway-watch-main
• ps axww includes pnpm gateway:watch --benchmark
• lsof -nP -iTCP:18789 -sTCP:LISTEN shows listener *:18789
• openclaw channels status --json shows Discord Molty, Slack, Telegram connected

Safety

• Don't assume host identity from stale IP; verify hostname/user.
• Don't print secrets from remote files/shells.
• Host unavailable after Tailscale + LAN fallback → report what was tried.
• OpenClaw on Peter's machines: follow repo docs/AGENTS; don't install/start/stop services unless asked.
