OCLAW Compat Layer Removal Checklist

Use this checklist to verify readiness and post-delete safety for oclaw/app_server/* compatibility-module removal.

Import graph checks

• rg "src\.app_server\." has no runtime/code matches (tests excluded or updated).
• CLI/runtime startup paths import from oclaw.interfaces.* only.
• WebSocket entrypoint imports resolve through oclaw.interfaces.ws.*.

Behavior parity checks

• HTTP gateway smoke tests pass (/health, /inbound, /gateway/method, /ws handshake).
• WS request/response contract remains unchanged for:
  • connect
  • chat.send/chat.history/chat.abort
  • sessions.*
  • agent.run/agent.wait
• Plugin bootstrap still loads expected extension set.

Prompt/skill checks

• Runtime role context still loads from oclaw/runtime/assets/agent_workspaces/*.
• Skill root priority still effective:
  • AIA_SKILLS_ROOT
  • oclaw/runtime/skills
  • skills/ fallback

Extension policy checks

• Primary extension source remains oclaw/extensions/.
• Legacy root extensions/ has been fully merged and removed.
• Duplicate plugin-id diagnostics still emitted as expected.

Final cleanup

• Delete compatibility files under oclaw/app_server/* only after all checks are green.
• Remove stale docs/comments referring to old primary entrypoints.
• Re-run lint and targeted compile checks after deletion.
