  Handover: Nix mode vs wizard/config UI (commit 53baba71)

  Problem summary:
  - Nix installs set CLAWDIS_NIX_MODE=1 and manage config declaratively.
  - The new wizard RPC + Control UI config editor still write to CLAWDIS_CONFIG_PATH (usually
  ~/.clawdis/clawdis.json).
  - In Nix installs the config file is immutable/read‑only, so wizard/config writes will fail
  (EACCES) and users get confusing errors + drift risk.
# 

  Current behavior (from 53baba71):
  - Nix mode only affects:
    - startup: legacy config entries => hard error (no auto‑migration). src/gateway/server.ts:1372-
  1387
    - logging: “running in Nix mode”. src/gateway/server.ts:7247-7249
  - Wizard RPC is still enabled and writes config:
    - endpoints in gateway: src/gateway/server.ts:5435-5595
    - writes config in wizard flow: src/wizard/onboarding.ts:426-432 (plus earlier writes)
  - Config editor writes config:
    - config.set handler: src/gateway/server.ts:2820-2912
    - writeConfigFile: src/config/config.ts:1776-1782
  - macOS app already disables onboarding/config UI in Nix mode:
    - onboarding skipped: apps/macos/Sources/Clawdis/Onboarding.swift:18-24
    - config settings disabled: apps/macos/Sources/Clawdis/ConfigSettings.swift:77-99
  - Legacy keys now rejected in Nix mode:
    - routing.groupChat.requireMention removed
    - telegram.requireMention removed
    - new schema prefers *.groups."*".requireMention + routing.groupChat.mentionPatterns
    - legacy rules/migrations: src/config/config.ts:1348-1516

  Recommendation (short-term):
  - Explicitly disable wizard + config writes in Nix mode at the gateway layer:
    - Reject wizard.start/next (and likely cancel/status too) with UNAVAILABLE + “Nix mode:
  onboarding disabled; config is read‑only.”
    - Reject config.set with UNAVAILABLE + “Nix mode: config is read‑only; edit via Nix.”
    - Allow config.get + config.schema (read‑only) so UI can still display.
  - Longer-term: wizard/config editor could generate Nix config (future work).

  Why this matters:
  - Current behavior gives confusing failures (immutable file) and undermines declarative
  guarantees.
  - macOS already treats Nix mode as “read‑only”; gateway should enforce the same policy.
# 
  Session context: prompts + findings
  1) Prompt: “clone commit 53baba71… review intent… compare with nix‑clawdis.”
     Finding: Commit unifies onboarding via shared wizard engine, adds config JSON Schema + UI
  hints, exposes wizard RPC and config schema; Nix module currently emits legacy config keys that
  upstream now flags, and Nix mode is only a startup check + log, not a write guard.

  2) Prompt: “what’s the surface of interaction with NIX_MODE install?”
     Finding: Wizard + config editor still write to CLAWDIS_CONFIG_PATH; macOS UI disables
  onboarding/config in Nix mode; web UI does not; gateway doesn’t block writes.

  3) Prompt: “nix‑managed files are read‑only immutable.”
     Finding: config.set and wizard writes will fail with EACCES/EPERM, leading to confusing UX and
  drift risk unless gateway blocks in Nix mode.

  4) Prompt: “disable wizard/onboarding/config features; maybe later write Nix config.”
     Finding: Agreed; short‑term should disable write endpoints in Nix mode with clear errors;
  allow read endpoints only.

if you paste in a message > 2k chars it says "too long, you need discord nitro" (i guess discord premium), then you can do 4000 char messages lol
