App: clowdbot-0eebf25a (Fly.io, ord region) Version: OpenClaw 2026.3.12 (6472949)

Two working agents exist ("Helen" and "Max"), both active and responding via Telegram. But clowd.bot always opens the onboarding wizard (step 2/5 "Choose your claw") instead of the dashboard.

Clicking through onboarding creates duplicate partial agents, so I stopped.

Tried: incognito, clearing cache, direct fly.dev URL (returns "Unauthorized — Access from Clowdbot control panel").

The onboarding state for this app/account needs to be reset to recognize the existing agents.

Diagnostics: gateway healthy, both Telegram accounts OK, loopback-only on port 18790.

Error Message

Screenshot shows "Choose your claw" onboarding screen (step 2/5) instead of dashboard. No relevant error logs — gateway is healthy, agents respond via Telegram normally. Full "openclaw status --all" output confirms both agents active and Telegram channels OK.

Summary

App: clowdbot-0eebf25a (Fly.io, ord region) Version: OpenClaw 2026.3.12 (6472949)

Two working agents exist ("Helen" and "Max"), both active and responding via Telegram. But clowd.bot always opens the onboarding wizard (step 2/5 "Choose your claw") instead of the dashboard.

Clicking through onboarding creates duplicate partial agents, so I stopped.

Tried: incognito, clearing cache, direct fly.dev URL (returns "Unauthorized — Access from Clowdbot control panel").

Diagnostics: gateway healthy, both Telegram accounts OK, loopback-only on port 18790.

Steps to reproduce

  1. Go to https://clowd.bot and log in
  2. Dashboard opens onboarding wizard (step 2/5 "Choose your claw") instead of showing existing agents
  3. Completing the wizard creates a new partial agent instead of showing the existing one

Expected behavior

clowd.bot should show the dashboard for the existing app (clowdbot-0eebf25a) with two working agents (Helen and Max).

clowd.bot always opens the onboarding wizard. Direct fly.dev URL returns "Unauthorized — Access this dashboard from your Clowdbot control panel."

Logs, screenshots, and evidence
