OpenClaw diagnostics: collect a safe Gateway support bundle
OpenClaw diagnostics packages Gateway health, status, logs, and stability evidence into a reviewable support bundle while redacting credentials and message content.

Codex progress updates: why live status is not the final answer
Codex progress updates should reassure users that work is still running, not end the run early. Learn how OpenClaw's terminal-response fix protects long coding tasks from partial delivery.
AI agent dead-letter queues: recover messages after failure
AI agent dead-letter queues give failed messages a visible recovery path: preserve the event, capture why it failed, review it safely, and replay only after the cause is fixed.
AI agent data recovery: protect state before a restart turns into loss
AI agent data recovery protects durable sessions, schedules, and configuration when a database or publish step fails. Use a quarantine, recoverable snapshots, and a controlled restore path.
AI agent crash loops: how to stop restarts before they drain a run
AI agent crash loops turn a transient failure into lost work and runaway restarts. Learn how bounded restart policies, repair states, and observability keep self-hosted agents recoverable.
AI agent crash recovery: stop restart loops before they become outages
AI agent crash recovery keeps a bad restart from becoming a wider outage. See how OpenClaw's Gateway safe mode separates diagnosis from automatic recovery.
AI agent reliability at the provider-response boundary
AI agent reliability often breaks at the provider-response boundary: an error payload, an oversized body, or an out-of-credits message. How the runtime reads that response decides whether the agent recovers or hangs.
AI agent media generation: keeping images and video attached to the run
AI agent media generation fails when image and video jobs outlive the turn. OpenClaw 2026.6.8-beta.1 keeps generated media completions attached, bounded and deliverable.
Anthropic extended thinking needs session recovery, not manual transcript surgery
Anthropic extended thinking can fail after cache expiry or Gateway restarts. OpenClaw's beta fix shows how agents should recover without deleting session history.
MCP tool results need a materialization boundary
MCP tool results can include resource links, audio, images, and structured payloads. A materialization boundary keeps rich tool output from poisoning agent sessions.
Interrupted tool calls are the recovery test for production AI agents
Interrupted tool calls expose whether an AI agent can preserve state, resume safely and report failure clearly instead of leaving a user-facing run half-finished.
AI agent timeouts: why provider requests need bounded failure paths
AI agent timeouts prevent stuck provider, plugin and tool calls from freezing a run; OpenClaw 2026.6.1 turns more wait states into bounded recovery.
AI agent tool call errors: how OpenClaw recovers malformed tool arguments
AI agent tool call errors usually come from malformed arguments, not bad reasoning. Here is how OpenClaw v2026.5.28 repairs smart-quoted edit arrays and quarantines unsupported tool schemas instead of failing the turn.
Subagent workspace isolation: how OpenClaw keeps parallel agents from corrupting each other
Subagent workspace isolation gives each spawned agent its own working directory and prompt-local context, so parallel OpenClaw runs don't overwrite files or leak state. Here's how it works in v2026.5.28.
AI agent rate limits: keeping scheduled jobs alive through 429s
AI agent rate limits break scheduled jobs when a 429 lands mid-run. Here's how retry budgets, exponential backoff with jitter, and preflight model fallback keep cron automations finishing instead of silently skipping.
Codex app-server reliability in OpenClaw 2026.5.27: how the runtime survives crashes
Codex app-server reliability is the quiet half of OpenClaw 2026.5.27. Here is how shared clients survive startup failures, hook relays live through restarts, and workspace memory routes through tools.
AI agent auth profiles: separate model logins without breaking agent runs
AI agent auth profiles separate model credentials by provider, runtime, and operator so self-hosted agents can migrate logins, recover cleanly, and reduce credential blast radius.
LLM idle watchdog: escalating silent model streams through profile rotation and model fallback
An LLM idle watchdog catches silent model streams before they hang an agent turn. The 2026.5.12 fix escalates through profile rotation and configured model fallback instead of leaving the turn stuck.
Agent runtime fallbacks: configuring backend failover for ACP turns
Agent runtime fallbacks let an ACP turn try a backup model or runtime when the primary is unavailable, so a single dead backend stops killing user-facing replies.
Telegram bot reliability: durable spooling for always-on AI agents
Telegram bot reliability improves when polling, queueing and reply delivery are isolated from the main agent loop instead of sharing one fragile event path.
