Browser tool timeout blocks Telegram polling loop, causing cascading gateway restarts
증상
Browser tool timeouts (locator.click, page navigation) block the Node.js event loop, stalling the Telegram long-polling loop (getUpdates). This causes a cascading failure: polling stall → health monitor SIGTERM → gateway restart → cron jobs re-trigger browser → repeat.
원인
OpenClaw gateway, skill, or agent configuration issue — root cause confirmed in the openclaw/openclaw issue tracker.
해결법
We implemented two mitigations:
- Reduced cron frequency for browser-heavy jobs (15min → 3hr)
- Enhanced watchdog (
telegram-watchdog.py) that detects polling stalls via log scanning and restarts with exponential backoff to prevent restart loops
Neither is a real fix — they reduce frequency and recover faster, but the underlying event loop blocking remains.
