Bug: OpenClaw gateway exits as PID 1 in containers even with OPENCLAW_NO_RESPAWN=1
A regression in [email protected] can make the gateway exit as PID 1 in non-supervised containers even when OPENCLAW_NO_RESPAWN=1 is set. Here is the symptom pattern, why it matters, and what to verify next.
OpenClaw Codex OAuth Can Look Healthy but Still Never Route: The Missing `auth order` Bug Behind ‘No API key found’
A fresh OpenClaw bug report shows `openclaw models auth login --provider openai-codex` may save the profile but leave per-agent auth order empty. The result is misleading: models list says Auth: yes, but live requests still fall through with ‘No API key found’. Here’s how to confirm it, what actually breaks, and the safest temporary fix.
OpenClaw CLI May Stall for 20-40 Seconds After Hook Loading Since v4.5+: Why Commands Feel Frozen Even When the Gateway Is Healthy
A new OpenClaw regression report says CLI commands can hang for 20-40 seconds after internal hooks load, even while direct gateway health checks stay fast. Here is what is breaking, how to verify the symptom, and how operators can reduce damage before an upstream fix lands.
OpenClaw v2026.4.8 Can Peg a CPU Core in Headless Docker: What the Bonjour Sidecar Bug Breaks and How to Work Around It
A newly filed OpenClaw bug report says the bonjour service-advertise sidecar can spin at 99% CPU in standard headless Docker deployments, spam re-advertise logs, and eventually lead to container exit. Here is what operators should check and the workaround reported so far.
OpenClaw Bug: Pasting Images in Control UI Can Dump Massive Base64 Text into the Composer
A fresh OpenClaw issue says pasting an image into the Control UI can inject a huge data:image/...;base64 string directly into the composer instead of creating an attachment. Here is how to confirm it, why emergency local fixes are risky in installed dist bundles, and the least risky mitigations for now.
Groq Audio Transcription in OpenClaw Can Fail With ‘request Content-Type isn't multipart/form-data’
A fresh OpenClaw issue shows Groq-based audio transcription can reject Telegram voice-note uploads with `invalid_request_error: request Content-Type isn't multipart/form-data`. Here’s how to confirm the failure pattern, why Deepgram may still work on the same pipeline, and what operators can do before a fix lands.
Start from the highest-intent OpenClaw path
If you arrive from search, use this shortlist to move from the homepage to the page that matches your real problem fastest.
Current troubleshooting entry points
GA4 2026-05-20 shows the homepage plus sessions_send timeout, Vertex Gemini blank replies, memory-system triage, warning-triangle incidents, and agent troubleshooting pages still receiving qualified visits. Start with the route that matches your operator intent instead of browsing the archive.
Understand the OpenClaw memory system
Start here when a session forgets context, writes the wrong memory file, or needs a clean incident triage path.
Moltbot, Clawdbot, and OpenClaw name changes
Use this route when old package names, old docs, or old commands are still showing up in your environment.
Create custom OpenClaw skills
Go here when you are ready to turn a repeat workflow into a reusable skill with a release checklist.
Fast homepage triage
Which page should I open first?
Memory confusion goes to the memory guide, old Moltbot or Clawdbot names go to the rebrand guide, and reusable workflow questions go to the custom skills guide.
Why not start with the full article list?
Search visitors usually need a narrow answer. These entry links reduce pogo-sticking and push high-intent users toward the strongest evergreen pages.
What if I am debugging a live incident?
Pick the page that matches the symptom first, capture evidence before changing configuration, then move to the broader troubleshooting hub only if the symptom is unclear.
Should I start with integrations, Codex OAuth, or a release note?
Choose integrations when the channel, token, webhook, or privacy boundary is failing; choose Codex OAuth when login succeeds but runtime selection falls back; choose the release note when you are deciding whether a new OpenClaw version is safe to pilot.
How do I avoid opening the wrong troubleshooting path?
Match the first visible symptom to the route above before restarting services. Homepage visitors from GA4 are mostly looking for a fix, so this page now separates setup, integration, runtime fallback, release-decision, and Feishu incident intents up front.
