Gateway fails to clean up stale .jsonl.lock file on hung/crashed session
증상
The gateway process fails to clean up session lock files when a session hangs or the gateway is killed uncleanly. This causes subsequent gateway starts to get stuck indefinitely (shows as “typing…” in Discord) until the lock file is manually deleted.
원인
OpenClaw gateway, skill, or agent configuration issue — root cause confirmed in the openclaw/openclaw issue tracker.
해결법
Manually delete the lock file and restart the gateway:
rm ~/.openclaw/agents/main/sessions/<session-id>.jsonl.lock
launchctl stop ai.openclaw.gateway
launchctl start ai.openclaw.gateway
