Environment note

If the Gateway runs as a daemon (launchd/systemd), make sure '<code className="bg-white/10 px-1.5 py-0.5 rounded text-emerald-300 text-sm">'AI_GATEWAY_API_KEY'</code>'

is available to that process (for example, in '<code className="bg-white/10 px-1.5 py-0.5 rounded text-emerald-300 text-sm">'~/.openclaw/.env'</code>' or via

'<code className="bg-white/10 px-1.5 py-0.5 rounded text-emerald-300 text-sm">'env.shellEnv'</code>').
