openclaw - 💡(How to fix) Fix Overwatch Daemon Missing: Restore Autonomous Task Management [1 comments, 2 participants]

The Overwatch daemon (overwatch-daemon.cjs) is missing from the installation, preventing autonomous task management and stalled task cleanup. This impacts:

• Autonomous task execution (e.g., Facebook engagement)
• Stalled task detection and cleanup
• Guardrail enforcement (24-hour cooldown, dry-run)

Steps to reproduce:

1. Attempt to run engage -p facebook -n health -a like -c 10 — fails because engage is not available.
2. Check for Overwatch daemon: Get-ChildItem -Path C:\1. AG openclaw -Filter "*overwatch*" -Recurse — only finds .ts and .d.ts files.
3. Stalled tasks accumulate in the registry.

Expected behavior:

• Overwatch daemon should run as a standalone service.
• Autonomous tasks should execute with guardrails.

Root cause:

• The daemon may have been removed, renamed, or failed to compile.
