Cathryn Lavery

Worked on the openclaw/openclaw repository to enhance gateway reliability on macOS by developing a robust restart workflow. Leveraged Node.js and TypeScript to implement a feature that uses launchctl kickstart, enabling immediate respawning of the gateway after supervised restarts. This approach directly signals launchd, effectively bypassing ThrottleInterval delays and reducing restart latency. Expanded test coverage with new cross-platform cases to validate restart behavior across macOS and other environments, ensuring consistent reliability. Focused on process management and system administration, the work improved uptime, accelerated recovery, and simplified operational support for the gateway, contributing to more maintainable infrastructure overall.

February 2026: February 2026 monthly summary for the openclaw/openclaw repository focused on improving gateway reliability on macOS and expanding test coverage. Implemented a proactive MacOS gateway restart workflow that uses launchctl kickstart to ensure immediate respawning after a supervised restart. By signaling launchd directly, we bypass potential ThrottleInterval delays, reducing restart latency. Added new test cases to validate behavior across different platforms and scenarios, strengthening robustness and preventing regressions. The changes contribute to higher uptime, faster recovery, and easier operational support.
