+# reply-end-controls - Pluginization Status Report
+
+- Date: 2026-05-13
+- Status: in progress
+
+## Summary
+
+The project has moved beyond a one-off Telegram/OpenClaw PoC and is now in an active pluginization transition.
+
+It is not yet a clean installable plugin package, but it is also no longer just a pile of undocumented runtime edits.
+
+The project now has enough structure to support continued convergence toward a reusable integration path.
+
+## What has already been pluginized or partially pluginized
+
+### 1. Shared configuration source
+
+The project now has a single repo-owned config source:
+
+- `config/reply-end-controls.json`
+
+This centralizes:
+
+- callback data
+- button labels
+- resolved button labels
+- acknowledgement text
+- stop-policy text
+
+Both repo-side runtime helpers and the apply script now read from this source.
+
+### 2. Reusable core modules
+
+The project already contains reusable logic for:
+
+- state model
+- callback normalization
+- policy behavior
+- file-backed store behavior
+
+These live under:
+
+- `src/core/`
+
+### 3. Adapter layer foundations
+
+The project now includes:
+
+- `src/adapters/openclaw.ts`
+- `src/adapters/openclaw-state-file.ts`
+- `src/runtime/openclaw-telegram-bridge.ts`
+
+This means OpenClaw-specific behavior is no longer entirely trapped inside ad hoc runtime patch descriptions.
+
+### 4. PoC runtime helper extraction
+
+Telegram PoC behavior has already been captured into reusable helper code:
+
+- default button generation
+- resolved button rendering
+- acknowledgement reply text
+- stop-state inbound text shaping
+
+### 5. Reproducible patch flow
+
+The project now has:
+
+- `scripts/apply-openclaw-poc-patch.sh`
+- `scripts/rollback-openclaw-poc-patch.sh`
+
+The apply/rollback flow has been validated against a pristine extracted `openclaw@2026.5.7` package.
+
+## What is still not pluginized enough
+
+### 1. Live OpenClaw runtime still uses inline patch behavior
+
+Even though repo-side modules now exist, the live `openclawtest` runtime still depends on patched OpenClaw distribution files.
+
+That means the behavior is reproducible, but not yet cleanly consumed from the repo at runtime.
+
+### 2. Telegram callback behavior is still wired through patched runtime code
+
+The callback path has been proven, but it is still implemented as a runtime patch rather than a clean runtime integration seam.
+
+### 3. Stop policy is still injected as text
+
+The PoC successfully alters later behavior using a stop-state instruction, but the implementation is still based on injected text policy rather than a more explicit first-class runtime policy hook.
+
+### 4. Acceptance still has manual UI steps
+
+The project has repeatable scripts, but acceptance is still partly human-driven because Telegram UI behavior must be observed directly.
+
+## Current maturity assessment
+
+The project is currently at this maturity level:
+
+- more than a PoC patch experiment
+- less than a true installable plugin package
+- suitable for continued structured development
+- suitable for another agent to continue work with clear repo-side ownership points
+
+## Recommended next work
+
+### Priority 1
+
+Reduce runtime inline logic by replacing more hardcoded patch content with repo-side helper ownership.
+
+### Priority 2
+
+Make apply/rollback/verify feel more like a supported integration workflow than an engineering exercise.
+
+### Priority 3
+
+Document exactly which remaining runtime behaviors are still inline and what their intended repo-side owners are.
+
+## Final judgment
+
+Pluginization is underway and meaningfully advanced, but not complete.
+
+The project has crossed from:
+
+- undocumented patch success
+
+to:
+
+- structured PoC
+- reusable repo-side modules
+- shared config source
+- reproducible patch workflow
+
+The remaining work is real, but it is now focused and understandable rather than exploratory.
