Worked on improving the reliability of Windows CLI updates in the openclaw/openclaw repository by addressing a critical restart race condition. Focused on ensuring the gateway process fully exited before restarting, using Windows Batch scripting and Node.js to implement exit-wait logic and robust port-release polling. Developed mechanisms to detect and forcefully terminate lingering listeners, which reduced update downtime and prevented failed restarts. This work enhanced system administration workflows by making the update process more predictable and stable. Emphasized thorough testing to validate the new approach, resulting in a more dependable update experience for operators managing Windows-based deployments.
In March 2026, focused on stabilizing the Windows CLI update flow in the openclaw/openclaw repository. Addressed a critical restart race where the gateway process could restart before exiting, implementing robust exit-wait, port-release polling, and termination of lingering listeners to ensure clean, reliable updates on Windows. This work reduces update downtime and prevents failed restarts, improving overall system reliability and operator confidence.
