- Remove dead 'return false' in runServiceStart (Greptile)
- Include stack trace in run-loop crash guard error log (Greptile)
- Only catch startup errors on subsequent restarts, not initial start (Codex P1)
- Add JSDoc note about env var false positive edge case (Codex P1)
Address Greptile review: add test coverage for runServiceStart path.
The error message copy-paste issue was already fixed in the DRY refactor
(uses params.serviceNoun instead of hardcoded 'restart').
When an in-process restart (SIGUSR1) triggers a config-triggered restart
and the new config is invalid, params.start() throws and the while loop
exits, killing the process. On macOS this loses TCC permissions.
Wrap params.start() in try/catch: on failure, set server=null, log the
error, and wait for the next SIGUSR1 instead of crashing.
When 'openclaw gateway restart' is run with an invalid config, the new
process crashes on startup due to config validation failure. On macOS,
this causes Full Disk Access (TCC) permissions to be lost because the
respawned process has a different PID.
Add getConfigValidationError() helper and pre-flight config validation
in both runServiceRestart() and runServiceStart(). If config is invalid,
abort with a clear error message instead of crashing.
The config watcher's hot-reload path already had this guard
(handleInvalidSnapshot), but the CLI restart/start commands did not.
AI-assisted (OpenClaw agent, fully tested)
When a config-change restart hits the force-exit timeout, exit with
code 1 instead of 0 so launchd/systemd treats it as a failure and
triggers a clean process restart. Stop-timeout stays at exit(0)
since graceful stops should not cause supervisor recovery.
Closes#36822
The repair/recovery path had the same missing `enable` guard as
`restartLaunchAgent`. If launchd persists a "disabled" state after a
previous `bootout`, the `bootstrap` call in `repairLaunchAgentBootstrap`
fails silently, leaving the gateway unloaded in the recovery flow.
Add the same `enable` guard before `bootstrap` that was already applied
to `installLaunchAgent` and (in this PR) `restartLaunchAgent`.

restartLaunchAgent was missing the launchctl enable call that
installLaunchAgent already performs. launchd can persist a "disabled"
state after bootout, causing bootstrap to silently fail and leaving the
gateway unloaded until a manual reinstall.

* fix(tui): improve colour contrast for light-background terminals (#38636)
Detect light terminal backgrounds via COLORFGBG and apply a WCAG
AA-compliant light palette. Adds OPENCLAW_THEME=light|dark env var
override for terminals without auto-detection.
Uses proper sRGB linearisation and WCAG 2.1 contrast ratios to pick
whichever text palette (dark or light) has higher contrast against
the detected background colour.
