[Bug]: Interactive browser tool fails despite healthy gateway (Docker / Hostinger image)

Interactive Browser Tool Fails Despite Healthy Gateway (Docker / Hostinger Image) Environment Image: ghcr.io/hostinger/hvps-openclaw:latest OpenClaw version: 2026.3.8 (3caab92) Deployment: Docker (Hostinger VPS) Model: openai/gpt-5.2 OS: Linux VPS Problem Interactive browser automation fails even though both the OpenClaw gateway and browser controller are running. When prompting: open nytimes.com the agent responds: “I can’t open nytimes.com in the interactive browser because the OpenClaw gateway isn’t running on this host.” It suggests running: openclaw gateway install openclaw gateway start However this is incorrect because the gateway is already running inside the container. Verification Gateway is reachable: curl http://127.0.0.1:18789 Result: 18789_http=200 Browser controller is reachable: curl http://127.0.0.1:18791 Result: 18791_http=401 Logs [gateway] listening on ws://127.0.0.1:18789 [browser/server] Browser control listening on http://127.0.0.1:18791/ [browser/service] Browser control service ready When browser tool runs: [tools] browser failed: timed out Browser Runtime Check Chromium present: /usr/bin/chromium Playwright installed: ~/.cache/ms-playwright/chromium-* Steps Already Tried container restart openclaw doctor openclaw doctor --repair full browser state reset recreated browser profiles verified gateway + browser controller ports confirmed Playwright + Chromium installed None resolved the issue. Expected Behavior The browser tool should open the page in the managed browser. Actual Behavior Agent incorrectly reports gateway not running and falls back to HTTP fetch. Notes Other OpenClaw features work normally: Telegram bot cron jobs web fetch/search skills The issue appears limited to interactive browser tool invocation.
