When the gateway token in config differs from the token embedded in the
service plist/unit file, restart will not apply the new token. This can
cause silent auth failures after OAuth token switches.
Changes:
- Add checkTokenDrift() to service-audit.ts
- Call it in runServiceRestart() before restarting
- Warn user with suggestion to run 'openclaw gateway install --force'
Closes#18018
On macOS, `openclaw gateway install` hardcodes the system node
(/opt/homebrew/bin/node) in the launchd plist, ignoring the node from
version managers (fnm/nvm/volta). This causes the Gateway to run a
different node version than the user's shell environment.
Two fixes:
1. `resolvePreferredNodePath` now checks `process.execPath` first.
If the currently running node is a supported version, use it directly.
This respects the user's active version manager selection.
2. `buildMinimalServicePath` now includes version manager bin directories
on macOS (fnm, nvm, volta, pnpm, bun), matching the existing Linux
behavior.
Fixes#18090

`openclaw doctor` audited gateway service runtime/path settings but did not
check whether the daemon's `OPENCLAW_GATEWAY_TOKEN` matched
`gateway.auth.token` in `openclaw.json`.
After re-pairing or token rotation, the config token and service env token can
drift. The daemon may keep running with a stale service token, leading to
unauthorized handshake failures for cron/tool clients.
Add a gateway service audit check for token drift and pass
`cfg.gateway.auth.token` into service audits so doctor treats config as the
source of truth when deciding whether to reinstall the service.
Key design decisions:
- Use `gateway.auth.token` from `openclaw.json` as the authority for service
token drift detection
- Only flag mismatch when an authoritative config token exists
- Keep fix in existing doctor service-repair flow (no separate migration step)
- Add focused tests for both audit mismatch behavior and doctor wiring

* fix(daemon): preserve backslashes in parseCommandLine on Windows
Only treat backslash as escape when followed by a quote or another
backslash. Bare backslashes are kept as-is so Windows paths survive.
Fixes#15587
* fix(daemon): preserve UNC backslashes in schtasks parsing (#15642) (thanks @arosstale)

After a successful launchctl kickstart, the stdout.write() for the
status message may fail with EPIPE if the receiving end has already
closed. Catch and ignore EPIPE specifically; re-throw other errors.

* fix(runtime): bump minimum Node.js version to 22.12.0
Aligns the runtime guard with the declared package.json engines requirement.
The Matrix plugin (and potentially others) requires Node >= 22.12.0,
but the runtime guard previously allowed 22.0.0+. This caused confusing
errors like 'Cannot find module @vector-im/matrix-bot-sdk' when the real
issue was an unsupported Node version.
- Update MIN_NODE from 22.0.0 to 22.12.0
- Update error message to reflect the correct version
- Update tests to use 22.12.0 as the minimum valid version
Fixes#5292
* fix: update test versions to match MIN_NODE=22.12.0

* fix(linux): add user bin directories to systemd service PATH
Fixes#1503
On Linux, the systemd service PATH was hardcoded to only include system
directories (/usr/local/bin, /usr/bin, /bin), causing binaries installed
via npm global with custom prefix or node version managers to not be found.
This adds common Linux user bin directories to the PATH:
- ~/.local/bin (XDG standard, pip, etc.)
- ~/.npm-global/bin (npm custom prefix)
- ~/bin (user's personal bin)
- Node version manager paths (nvm, fnm, volta, asdf)
- ~/.local/share/pnpm (pnpm global)
- ~/.bun/bin (Bun)
User directories are added before system directories so user-installed
binaries take precedence.

When installing the LaunchAgent/systemd service, the CLI was using
fs.realpath() to resolve the entry.js path, which converted stable
symlinked paths (e.g. node_modules/clawdbot) into version-specific
paths (e.g. .pnpm/clawdbot@X.Y.Z/...).
This caused the service to break after pnpm updates because the old
versioned path no longer exists, even though the symlink still works.
Now we prefer the original (symlinked) path when it's valid, keeping
service configs stable across package version updates.
