Helios 0b4a6de8ae
refactor: enforce device labels, unify screenshot, remove deprecated commands, session-id-less design
- Device labels: lowercase, no whitespace, only a-z 0-9 - _ (enforced at config time)
- Session IDs removed: device label is the sole identifier
- Routes changed: /sessions/:id → /devices/:label
- Removed commands: click, type, find-window, wait-for-window, label, old version, server-version
- Renamed: status → version (compares relay/remote.py/client commits)
- Unified screenshot: takes 'screen' or a window label as argument
- Windows listed with human-readable labels (same format as device labels)
- Single instance enforcement via PID lock file
- Removed input.rs (click/type functionality)
- All docs and code in English
- Protocol: Hello.label is now required (String, not Option<String>)
- Client auto-migrates invalid labels on startup

Control PCs connected to the Helios Remote Relay Server.
## When to use
When Moritz asks to do something on a connected PC:
- "Do X on my PC..."
- "Check what's running on the computer..."
- "Take a screenshot of..."
- General: remote access to an online PC
## Setup
- **Script:** `skills/helios-remote/remote.py`
- **Config:** `skills/helios-remote/config.env` (URL + API key, don't modify)
- `SKILL_DIR=/home/moritz/.openclaw/workspace/skills/helios-remote`
## Important Rules
- **Before destructive actions** (wallpaper, registry, system settings, deleting files) always read the current state first!
- Wallpaper: `(Get-ItemProperty 'HKCU:\Control Panel\Desktop').WallPaper`
- **Device labels are lowercase**, no whitespace, only `a-z 0-9 - _` (e.g. `moritz_pc`)
## Commands
```bash
SKILL_DIR=/home/moritz/.openclaw/workspace/skills/helios-remote
# Devices
python $SKILL_DIR/remote.py devices
# Screenshot → /tmp/helios-remote-screenshot.png
# ALWAYS prefer window screenshots (saves bandwidth)!
python $SKILL_DIR/remote.py screenshot moritz_pc google_chrome # window by label
python $SKILL_DIR/remote.py screenshot moritz_pc screen # full screen only when no window known
# Shell command (PowerShell, no wrapper needed)
python $SKILL_DIR/remote.py exec moritz_pc "Get-Process"
python $SKILL_DIR/remote.py exec moritz_pc "hostname"
# With longer timeout for downloads etc. (default: 30s)
python $SKILL_DIR/remote.py exec moritz_pc --timeout 600 "Invoke-WebRequest -Uri https://... -OutFile C:\file.zip"
# Windows (visible only, shown with human-readable labels)
python $SKILL_DIR/remote.py windows moritz_pc
python $SKILL_DIR/remote.py focus moritz_pc discord
python $SKILL_DIR/remote.py maximize moritz_pc google_chrome
python $SKILL_DIR/remote.py minimize-all moritz_pc
# Launch program (fire-and-forget)
python $SKILL_DIR/remote.py run moritz_pc notepad.exe
# Ask user to do something (shows MessageBox, blocks until OK)
python $SKILL_DIR/remote.py prompt moritz_pc "Please click Save, then OK"
python $SKILL_DIR/remote.py prompt moritz_pc "UAC dialog coming - please confirm" --title "Action required"
# Clipboard
python $SKILL_DIR/remote.py clipboard-get moritz_pc
python $SKILL_DIR/remote.py clipboard-set moritz_pc "Text for clipboard"
# File transfer
python $SKILL_DIR/remote.py upload moritz_pc /tmp/local.txt "C:\Users\Moritz\Desktop\remote.txt"
python $SKILL_DIR/remote.py download moritz_pc "C:\Users\Moritz\file.txt" /tmp/downloaded.txt
# Version: compare relay + remote.py + client commits (are they in sync?)
python $SKILL_DIR/remote.py version moritz_pc
# Client log (last 100 lines, --lines for more)
python $SKILL_DIR/remote.py logs moritz_pc
python $SKILL_DIR/remote.py logs moritz_pc --lines 200
```
## Typical Workflow: UI Task
1. `screenshot <device> screen` → look at the screen
2. `windows <device>` → find the window label
3. `focus <device> <window_label>` → bring it to front
4. `exec` → perform the action
5. `screenshot <device> <window_label>` → verify result
## ⚠️ Prompt Rule (important!)
**Never interact with UI blindly.** When you need the user to click something:
```bash
python $SKILL_DIR/remote.py prompt moritz_pc "Please click [Save], then press OK"
```
This blocks until the user confirms. Use it whenever manual interaction is needed.
