Last I got from. Telegram. pipo:
✅ Subagent gemini finished

Gateway restart restart ok (gateway.restart)
Done: applied patches for CLI subagent transcript persistence and non-negative runtimeMs; gateway restarted.
Reason: Apply subagent transcript + runtimeMs clamp patches in subagent-registry
Run: openclaw doctor --non-interactive

✅ Subagent gemini finished

Gateway restart restart ok (gateway.restart)
Updated subagent CLI transcript injection to gateway least-privilege chat.inject path and restarted.
Reason: Switch CLI transcript injection to callGatewayLeastPrivilege(chat.inject)
Run: openclaw doctor --non-interactive

✅ Subagent gemini finished " when I go to the dashboard I see nothing, I fear there's something wrong with the gateway https://miopenclaw-vnic.tail9799d2.ts.net


The user is saying that Pipo has been running subagents and applying patches, but when they visit the dashboard at https://miopenclaw-vnic.tail9799d2.ts.net they see nothing. Let me check the gateway status.

The gateway is not running! `curl -s http://localhost:18789/health` returned no output. Let me check more specifically for openclaw gateway processes. Also, I see `gemini` processes and `acpx` processes running, but no openclaw gateway. Let me check if the gateway is down.

The gateway is completely down. Port 18789 is not listening. No openclaw gateway process is running.

Looking at the history, Pipo called `gateway.restart` via `config.apply` RPC twice. But the CLAUDE.md says "NEVER run `openclaw gateway stop/start/restart`". The `config.apply` RPC is the safe way to restart. However, it looks like the gateway crashed and didn't come back up.

The problem is that after Pipo's patches, the gateway was restarted (via `config.apply`), but the patched code may have introduced a syntax error or runtime error that prevented the gateway from starting back up.

According to CLAUDE.md, the Gemini CLI process manages the gateway, but I'm seeing gemini processes running from earlier (02:02) that don't seem to be keeping the gateway alive. I need to check the gateway logs and the patched files to understand what went wrong during startup.

There it is:
```
Mar 05 04:37:02 miopenclaw-vnic node[598627]: [openclaw] Failed to start CLI: SyntaxError: Invalid or unexpected token
```

The gateway is crashing with a JavaScript `SyntaxError: Invalid or unexpected token` in the patched dist file. The patches that Pipo applied introduced a syntax error in either `subagent-registry-CkqrXKq4.js` or `gateway-cli-CuFEx2ht.js`.

I need to:
1. Find which file has the syntax error
2. Restore from backup

3. Check the backup files to identify which one contains the error.


There's the problem — a `SyntaxError: Invalid or unexpected token` in a patched dist file. Pipo's patches introduced bad syntax. I need to find the broken file and restore from backup immediately.

Found it. The `subagent-registry-CkqrXKq4.js` has a SyntaxError at line 39815. Looking at the error:

```
const cliText = result.payloads?.map((p) => p?.text ?? "").join("
```

Pipo's patch introduced a multi-line string (backtick template or unescaped newline) in the `join` call. The string `join("` has a literal newline, which breaks the syntax.

Let me check the backup files to see what's available.


`subagent-registry-CkqrXKq4.js` has the syntax error at line 39815. Let me find the best backup to restore from.

Good. The backup at `/usr/lib/node_modules/openclaw/dist/subagent-registry-CkqrXKq4.js.bak.1772684868` was taken at 04:27 (before the 04:32 broken version). This should have our original Patch B (the good one) without Pipo's additional broken patches. Let me check what's in the backup vs the current broken file.

Actually wait - the backup at 04:27 has size 3106732, and the current broken one at 04:32 has size 3107112 (380 bytes larger). And our original Patch B was applied before this backup was taken (the backup was taken at 04:27 and the patches were applied before the summary was written).

So the backup should contain my original Patch B which is syntactically correct. Let me verify by checking what's at line 39815 in the backup to confirm it has the right code.


sed -n '39810,39830p' /usr/lib/node_modules/openclaw/dist/subagent-registry-CkqrXKq4.js.bak.1772684868

Check line 39815 area in the backup to verify it's safe


sed -n '39810,39830p' /usr/lib/node_modules/openclaw/dist/subagent-registry-CkqrXKq4.js

Check the same area in the broken current file to see what Pipo changed


								extraSystemPrompt: params.followupRun.run.extraSystemPrompt,
								ownerNumbers: params.followupRun.run.ownerNumbers,
								cliSessionId,
								images: params.opts?.images
							});
							const cliText = result.payloads?.map((p) => p?.text ?? "").join("

").trim();
							if (cliText) emitAgentEvent({
								runId,
								stream: "assistant",
								data: { text: cliText }
							});
							if (params.sessionKey) {
								const transcriptText = cliText || `[cli:${provider}/${model}] completed with no text output`;
								try {
									await callGatewayLeastPrivilege({
										method: "chat.inject",
										params: {
											sessionKey: params.sessionKey,
											message: transcriptText


								extraSystemPrompt: params.followupRun.run.extraSystemPrompt,
								ownerNumbers: params.followupRun.run.ownerNumbers,
								cliSessionId,
								images: params.opts?.images
							});
							const cliText = result.payloads?.[0]?.text?.trim();
							if (cliText) emitAgentEvent({
								runId,
								stream: "assistant",
								data: { text: cliText }
							});
							if (cliText && params.sessionKey) { try { await callGatewayTool("chat.inject", {}, {sessionKey: params.sessionKey, message: cliText}); } catch {} }
							emitAgentEvent({
								runId,
								stream: "lifecycle",
								data: {
									phase: "end",
									startedAt,
									endedAt: Date.now()
								}
							});


The broken file has:
```js
const cliText = result.payloads?.map((p) => p?.text ?? "").join("

").trim();
```

There's a literal newline inside the `join("` string, which is why it's failing with `SyntaxError: Invalid or unexpected token`. The newline inside a string literal is invalid syntax.

The backup at 04:27 has the correct version with `result.payloads?.[0]?.text?.trim()`.

I should restore from the backup. The backup was 04:27 and is syntactically correct. Let me restore it.

But wait - I also need to check if the backup contains my good Patch B (`callGatewayTool("chat.inject")` or `callGatewayLeastPrivilege`).

The backup has the original Patch B with the empty catch block, which is syntactically valid and will let the gateway start. There's still the question of whether `callGatewayTool` with empty opts actually works, but at least I can get the gateway running and investigate further.

Now I'm checking if there are other places where Pipo made changes between the backup and current file.


Good. The backup at 04:27 is clean — it has my original Patch B with valid syntax. The broken current file has a literal newline inside a string (`join("\n\n"` written with actual newlines instead of escape sequences). Restoring now.


sudo cp /usr/lib/node_modules/openclaw/dist/subagent-registry-CkqrXKq4.js.bak.1772684868 /usr/lib/node_modules/openclaw/dist/subagent-registry-CkqrXKq4.js && echo "restored"

The "Cannot find module" errors are expected - that's because we're running the file from stdin outside its proper directory. The SyntaxError is gone. Now let me restart the gateway service.


No SyntaxError — the "module not found" is expected when run outside the dist directory. Now restart the gateway.

Gateway is back up. The dashboard should be accessible again at `https://miopenclaw-vnic.tail9799d2.ts.net`.

**What happened**: Pipo applied a patch that wrote `join("` followed by a literal newline character instead of `\n` escape sequences. That's an unterminated string literal — instant `SyntaxError` on startup. The gateway crashed and kept crash-looping (35 restart attempts visible in the logs).

**What was restored**: The backup from 04:27 (`subagent-registry-CkqrXKq4.js.bak.1772684868`), which contains the original good Patch B (`callGatewayTool("chat.inject", ...)` with empty catch). The gateway is now `active (running)` and serving HTTP 200.

**Note for Pipo**: The analysis file at `~/.openclaw/workspace/cli-subagent-transcript-fix-analysis.md` explains why the `callGatewayTool({})` approach may still silently fail (H2 — token resolution). The recommended next step is Fix A (instrument the catch block to see the actual error) before attempting Fix B or C again. Any future patches to dist files must be tested with `node --check` or the stdin syntax check before restarting the gateway.
