+# MeshCentral ↔ OpenClaw Bridge — Resume Handoff
+
+**Checkpoint:** 2026-08-25 09:18 EDT
+**Owner:** Rob / Clawdia
+**Project state:** Active. Rob authorized read-only MeshCentral access for this project on 2026-08-26. A corrected live test is pending.
+
+## What was completed in the resumed work session
+
+1. Repaired the TypeScript regression in `implementation/src/adapter.ts` where a literal `\\n` had been inserted into source line 316.
+2. Removed two unused-variable lint failures exposed after the repair.
+3. Added protocol validation to `implementation/src/meshctrl-client.ts`:
+   - bounded response size using `MAX_RESPONSE_SIZE`
+   - JSON/protocol envelope validation
+   - action-specific response schema validation using Zod
+   - request/response action matching
+   - generic MeshCentral request errors instead of exposing server error text
+4. Hardened credential handling:
+   - credentials are validated before encoding
+   - malformed credentials are rejected
+   - credential metadata is redacted
+   - no password/token is written to project files or logs
+5. Corrected real-adapter device and group allowlist filtering in `implementation/src/adapter.ts`.
+6. Added `implementation/src/__tests__/meshctrl-client.test.ts` covering:
+   - valid and malformed credentials
+   - redacted credential metadata
+   - malformed and oversized responses
+   - response action mismatches
+   - invalid node response data
+7. Exported `validateResponseForAction` from `implementation/src/index.ts`.
+8. Updated `implementation/README.md` to describe the real adapter accurately and clearly mark it as not live-approved; diagnostics remain mock-only.
+
+## Verification at checkpoint
+
+Run from `implementation/`:
+
+```bash
+npm test -- --runInBand
+npm run build
+npm run lint
+```
+
+Last successful result:
+
+- 9 test suites passed
+- 56 tests passed
+- TypeScript build passed
+- ESLint passed
+- `tsc --noEmit` passed
+
+## Current phase
+
+Post-hardening protocol compatibility validation. The implementation is authorized for the narrow read-only live test described in `LIVE-TEST-PROCEDURE.md`.
+
+## Remaining work, in order
+
+1. Add bounded request concurrency/rate limiting to the MeshCtrl client.
+2. Add structured audit logging for authentication, requests, targets, results, timestamps, and failures; never log passwords, TOTP tokens, session tokens, or raw sensitive output.
+3. Add negative/security tests for retries, timeouts, connection failures, allowlist enforcement, and logging redaction.
+4. Finish deployment and rollback documentation, including the live-test checklist.
+5. Run an independent security review against the updated source and address findings.
+6. Execute the authorized read-only live-test procedure; do not expand its scope.
+7. Keep diagnostics mock-only; do not add remote commands or state-changing actions until separately designed and reviewed.
+
+## Live-test facts already documented
+
+See `DEPLOYMENT.md`. It records the reported MeshCentral host/version, the dedicated integration account name, the intended PVE3 test target, secret-handling rules, prerequisites, and the explicit approval checkpoint. The password is intentionally not stored in this project.
+
+## Safety constraints
+
+- Do not connect to MeshCentral without Rob's explicit go-ahead in the same step.
+- Do not use or store the integration password in source, prompts, command lines, logs, or this handoff.
+- Do not execute remote commands or state-changing actions.
+- Do not modify infrastructure.
+- PVE1/PVE2 production cluster remains off-limits for testing.
+
+## Scheduler state
+
+The `meshcentral-project-progress` cron job is disabled/paused at Rob's request. Re-enable it only when Rob asks.
+
+## Suggested resume procedure
+
+```bash
+cd /home/ledadmin/projects/meshcentral-openclaw-bridge/implementation
+npm test -- --runInBand
+npm run build
+npm run lint
+```
+
+Then inspect this file, `TODO.md`, `SECURITY.md`, `DEPLOYMENT.md`, and `review/LIVE-ADAPTER-REVIEW.md` before continuing with the next remaining item.
