Docker and Deployment Improvements
<!-- greptile_comment -->
<h2>Greptile Overview</h2>
<h3>Greptile Summary</h3>
This PR adds a nixpacks configuration file for deploying OpenClaw to platforms like Railway, but the configuration is fundamentally incorrect. It treats OpenClaw as a Python project when it's actually a Node.js/TypeScript application.
**Critical issues:**
- References non-existent `requirements.txt` and `openclaw.app` Python module
- Includes Python 3.11 in dependencies despite OpenClaw being a Node.js project
- Incorrect start command (`python3 -m openclaw.app` instead of `node openclaw.mjs gateway --allow-unconfigured`)
- Missing required build steps (`pnpm build` and `pnpm ui:build`)
- Uses `--no-frozen-lockfile` instead of `--frozen-lockfile` (violates project conventions in AGENTS.md)
The configuration needs to be completely rewritten to match the existing Dockerfile pattern, which correctly builds and runs OpenClaw as a Node.js application.
<h3>Confidence Score: 0/5</h3>
- This PR cannot be merged as-is — it would break deployment completely
- The configuration is based on a fundamental misunderstanding of the project. It attempts to run OpenClaw as a Python application when it's actually a Node.js/TypeScript project. The start command references a non-existent Python module, install steps reference a non-existent `requirements.txt`, and critical build steps are missing. Deploying this would result in immediate runtime failures.
- nixpacks.toml requires complete rewrite based on the Dockerfile pattern
