CLI commands fail with handshake timeout when plugins are slow to load
증상
openclaw cron add, openclaw cron list, openclaw devices list, and other CLI commands that connect to the Gateway via WebSocket consistently fail with connect challenge timeout when non-bundled plugins (e.g. chorus-openclaw-plugin) are auto-discovered and loaded.
원인
OpenClaw gateway, skill, or agent configuration issue — root cause confirmed in the openclaw/openclaw issue tracker.
해결법
Setting OPENCLAW_SKIP_PLUGINS=1 allows CLI commands to connect successfully:
OPENCLAW_SKIP_PLUGINS=1 openclaw cron list # works
OPENCLAW_SKIP_PLUGINS=1 openclaw cron add ... # works
