openclaw - 💡(How to fix) Fix [Bug]: openclaw completion -s zsh hangs on native Windows (no WSL) [1 comments, 2 participants]

Bug type

Regression (worked before, now fails)

Beta release blocker

No

Summary

Running openclaw completion -s zsh (or openclaw completion --write-state) on native Windows hangs indefinitely and must be killed with SIGKILL. This prevents automatic generation of shell completion cache files.

Steps to reproduce

1. Install OpenClaw on native Windows (no WSL)
2. Run openclaw completion -s zsh
3. Command hangs with no output and must be killed

Also happens with:

• openclaw completion --write-state
• openclaw completion -s powershell
• openclaw completion -s zsh --yes

Expected behavior

Completion script should be generated and written to $OPENCLAW_STATE_DIR/completions/openclaw.zsh.

Actual behavior

The command hangs indefinitely with no output. No completion cache file is created. The zsh profile references the missing cache file, causing errors on every shell startup.
