feat: Android/Termux OpenClaw node (Issue #420)

Add complete phone node infrastructure:

ROS2 Package (saltybot_phone):
- camera_node: /phone/camera/image_raw (320x240, 15 FPS)
- gps_node: /phone/gps (NavSatFix via termux-api)
- imu_node: /phone/imu (accelerometer data)
- openclaw_chat_node: Local LLM inference
  Subscribes /saltybot/speech_text
  Publishes /saltybot/chat_response
- ws_bridge: WebSocket bridge to Jetson Orin (:9090)

Phone Scripts:
- termux-bootstrap.sh: Complete Termux setup
- power-management.sh: Battery/thermal monitoring
- README.md: Setup documentation

Architecture:
- Termux on Android phone
- WiFi/USB tether to Jetson Orin
- ROS2 topic bridge for sensors
- Local LLM for on-device chat (Phi-2)
- Termux:Boot auto-start
- Power management for extended runtime

+# SaltyBot Android/Termux Phone Node (Issue #420)
+
+Android phone node for SaltyBot via Termux. Provides camera, GPS, IMU sensors and local OpenClaw LLM inference.
+
+## Setup
+
+On phone (Termux):
+```bash
+bash termux-bootstrap.sh
+mkdir -p ~/saltybot_workspace/src
+cd ~/saltybot_workspace && colcon build
+```
+
+## Running
+
+```bash
+cd ~/saltybot_workspace && source install/setup.bash
+ros2 launch saltybot_phone phone_bringup.py
+```
+
+## Topics
+
+| Topic | Type | Description |
+|-------|------|-------------|
+| `/phone/camera/image_raw` | Image | Camera frames 320x240@15Hz |
+| `/phone/gps` | NavSatFix | GPS location |
+| `/phone/imu` | Imu | Accelerometer data |
+| `/saltybot/speech_text` | String | Input from Jetson |
+| `/saltybot/chat_response` | String | LLM output to Jetson |
+
+## Power Management
+
+```bash
+nohup bash ~/power-management.sh > ~/power-mgmt.log 2>&1 &
+```
+
+Reduces CPU activity on low battery (<25%) or critical battery (<15%).
+
+## Configuration
+
+Edit `config/phone.yaml` to adjust frame rates and LLM parameters.
+
+## Issue #420 Completion
+
+✅ Termux bootstrap
+✅ Camera / GPS / IMU nodes
+✅ OpenClaw chat (local LLM)
+✅ WebSocket bridge to Orin
+✅ Termux:Boot auto-start
+✅ Power management
