Bug Description

The openclaw doctor command hangs indefinitely with no output on Windows Server 2022 when running v2026.5.22.

Environment

ItemValue
OpenClaw2026.5.22 (a374c3a)
OSWindows Server 2022 Datacenter (Windows_NT 10.0.20348)
Node.jsv24.14.1
ShellPowerShell

Reproduction

# All of the following hang with no output:
openclaw doctor
openclaw doctor --lint
openclaw doctor --lint --non-interactive
openclaw doctor --lint --json

The command produces zero stdout/stderr, and must be killed after 30+ seconds.

Additional Context

  • openclaw doctor --help works fine
  • The command works in v2026.5.20 (tested before upgrade)
  • doctor appears to be waiting for interactive input even with --non-interactive and --lint flags
  • All other OpenClaw functionality works normally (Gateway running, Feishu channel active, cron jobs working)
  • Gateway process (PID 11548) healthy on port 18789

Manual Checks (doctor-equivalent)

All pass — this appears to be a doctor CLI bug, not a system health issue:

  • ✅ Config JSON valid, no suspicious signatures
  • ✅ Gateway running and listening
  • ✅ Cron scheduler healthy (8 jobs, no consecutive errors)
  • ✅ Plugins loaded (feishu, memory-core, memory-wiki, canvas)
  • ✅ Model providers configured with fallbacks
