Examples

Bash
openclaw doctor
openclaw doctor --repair
openclaw doctor --deep

Notes:

- Interactive prompts (e.g. keychain/OAuth repairs) only run when stdin is a TTY and not running with --non-interactive. Headless runs (cron, Telegram, no terminal) skip prompts.

- --fix (alias for --repair) writes a backup to ~/.openclaw/openclaw.json.bak, removes unknown config keys, and lists each removal.

macOS: `launchctl` environment overrides

If you previously ran launchctl setenv OPENCLAW_GATEWAY_TOKEN ... (or ...PASSWORD), that value overrides your config file and can cause persistent "Unauthorized" errors.

Bash
launchctl getenv OPENCLAW_GATEWAY_TOKEN
launchctl getenv OPENCLAW_GATEWAY_PASSWORD

launchctl unsetenv OPENCLAW_GATEWAY_TOKEN
launchctl unsetenv OPENCLAW_GATEWAY_PASSWORD
