webclaw-fetch switched from primp to wreq 6.x (BoringSSL) a while ago
but CLAUDE.md still documented primp, the `[patch.crates-io]`
requirement, and RUSTFLAGS that no longer apply. Refreshed four
sections:
- Crate listing: webclaw-fetch uses wreq, not primp
- client.rs description: wreq BoringSSL, plus a note that FetchClient
will implement the new Fetcher trait so production can swap in a
tls-sidecar-backed fetcher without importing wreq
- Hard Rules: dropped obsolete `[patch.crates-io]` and RUSTFLAGS lines,
added the "Vertical extractors take `&dyn Fetcher`" rule that makes
the architectural separation explicit for the upcoming production
integration
- Removed language about primp being "patched"; reqwest in webclaw-llm
is now just "plain reqwest" with no relationship to wreq
Self-hosters hitting docs/self-hosting were promised three binaries
but the OSS Docker image only shipped two. webclaw-server lived in
the closed-source hosted-platform repo, which couldn't be opened. This
adds a minimal axum REST API in the OSS repo so self-hosting actually
works without pretending to ship the cloud platform.
Crate at crates/webclaw-server/. Stateless, no database, no job queue,
single binary. Endpoints: GET /health, POST /v1/{scrape, crawl, map,
batch, extract, summarize, diff, brand}. JSON shapes mirror
api.webclaw.io for the endpoints OSS can support, so swapping between
self-hosted and hosted is a base-URL change.
Auth: optional bearer token via WEBCLAW_API_KEY / --api-key. Comparison
is constant-time (subtle::ConstantTimeEq). Open mode (no key) is
allowed and binds 127.0.0.1 by default; the Docker image flips
WEBCLAW_HOST=0.0.0.0 so the container is reachable out of the box.
Hard caps to keep naive callers from OOMing the process: crawl capped
at 500 pages synchronously, batch capped at 100 URLs / 20 concurrent.
For unbounded crawls or anti-bot bypass the docs point users at the
hosted API.
Dockerfile + Dockerfile.ci updated to copy webclaw-server into
/usr/local/bin and EXPOSE 3000. Workspace version bumped to 0.4.0
(new public binary).
