OPENCLAW_GATEWAY_TOKEN in systemd service file not updated on config change or update, causing device_token_mismatch
증상
After changing gateway.auth.token in openclaw.json, the systemd service file retains the old token hardcoded in Environment=OPENCLAW_GATEWAY_TOKEN=<old_token>. Since the env var overrides the config file value, the gateway process uses a different token than what’s in the config — causing device_token_mismatch for all internal tool calls (cron, sessions, etc.) and CLI connections.
원인
Environment variable, configuration file, or initialization parameter missing, malformed, or incorrectly scoped.
해결법
Create a systemd override to match the current config token:
mkdir -p ~/.config/systemd/user/openclaw-gateway.service.d/
cat > ~/.config/systemd/user/openclaw-gateway.service.d/override.conf << 'EOF'
[Service]
Environment=OPENCLAW_GATEWAY_TOKEN=<your_current_config_token>
EOF
systemctl --user daemon-reload
systemctl --user restart openclaw-gateway
