+## Use

+```bash
+mkdir -p ~/code/sourceos-control-node
+cd ~/code/sourceos-control-node
+nix flake init -t github:SourceOS-Linux/nix-openclaw#sourceos-control-node

+- `<user>`
+- `<homeDir>`
+- `<gatewayToken>`
+- `<tokenPath>`
+- `<allowFrom>`

+## Repo authority split
+
+This template is downstream packaging only.

+- contracts: `SourceOS-Linux/sourceos-spec`
+- runtime: `SocioProphet/prophet-platform`

+## Local-first posture

+Default execution order:
