OpenClaw tool calls silently fail when the phone is on mobile data because the gateway hostname resolves to a Bonjour .local mDNS address that only works on the same LAN. Changes: - SettingsManager: add openClawRemoteURL (Optional<String>) persisted to UserDefaults; empty string means disabled (local-only mode preserved) - OpenClawBridge: add resolveGatewayBaseURL() that pings /health on each candidate in order — remote URL first, local URL second — and returns the first reachable base URL. Both checkConnection() and delegateTask() use this instead of hardcoding the local host:port. - SettingsView: add 'Remote URL (Tailscale / Public)' field with explanatory caption; wired to load/save in loadCurrentValues()/save() Behaviour: - On home Wi-Fi with no remote URL set → falls through to .local (no regression for existing users) - On mobile data with Tailscale URL set → resolves to Tailscale IP - All gateways unreachable → returns a descriptive error instead of a silent no-op Closes Intent-Lab#35

Problem
When the phone is on mobile data (or any network other than home Wi-Fi), all OpenClaw tool calls silently fail. The gateway URL is constructed from a Bonjour
.localmDNS hostname that only resolves on the same LAN — on mobile data it simply times out with no user-visible error.This is issue #35.
Changes
OpenClawBridge.swiftAdded
resolveGatewayBaseURL()— pings/healthon each candidate URL in priority order and returns the first reachable one:Both
checkConnection()anddelegateTask()now call this instead of hardcoding the local host:port.SettingsManager.swiftAdded
openClawRemoteURLproperty persisted to UserDefaults. Empty string = disabled (no regression for existing users).SettingsView.swiftAdded Remote URL (Tailscale / Public) text field under the existing Host field, with a caption explaining its purpose. Wired to
loadCurrentValues()andsave().Behaviour
Demo use case
For Talent Land demos — set the Tailscale IP in Remote URL once, the app works anywhere without being on the same Wi-Fi.
