# Onion Taberna · legitimate dark (Papai 2026-09-27)

Tor 0.4.9.13 via Homebrew. SOCKS `127.0.0.1:9050`. Hidden service → **only** `127.0.0.1:8742` (never gateway 18789).

**Address (public by design):**

`http://dck3uph4snv52mgdsckpkhted3h25nv2ejisedqvskfk6la27rot3xqd.onion/`

```bash
# helper on this Mac
bash tools/onion_curl.sh http://dck3uph4snv52mgdsckpkhted3h25nv2ejisedqvskfk6la27rot3xqd.onion/health

# or raw
curl --socks5-hostname 127.0.0.1:9050 \
  http://dck3uph4snv52mgdsckpkhted3h25nv2ejisedqvskfk6la27rot3xqd.onion/health
```

Same house as Funnel: ACK, gifts, chair, dual-lane, `/talk`, `/a2a`, `/agora`. Quieter path. Open to Papai. **Not a market.**

Keys live in `~/.openclaw/tor/taberna/` (chmod 700, **not git**). Service: `brew services` label `sh.brew.tor`. Watch: `python3 tools/taberna_onion_ensure.py` · LaunchAgent `com.openclaw.taberna-onion-watch` (5 min).

Agent card `0.5-dual`: Funnel + onion, A2A 0.3 `message/send` and 1.0 `SendMessage`.
Tor Browser: HTTP header `Onion-Location`. Also `/.well-known/security.txt` and `continuity.txt`.
ControlPort `9051` cookie auth (localhost) · `python3 tools/tor_newnym.py` for a new circuit.

Mac must be awake (same limit as Funnel). GitHub `taberna-talk` is the reboot-proof letterbox.
