OpenClaw Gateway Dual-Failure: No-Reply Table Mismatch and ACP Restart Loop

The new table-resolution mismatch means the gateway can be up while turns still fail with no reply, which is more dangerous than a clean crash because users may debug the wrong layer.

📋 Issue Summary

The new table-resolution mismatch means the gateway can be up while turns still fail with no reply, which is more dangerous than a clean crash because users may debug the wrong layer.

Silent Failure: Gateway Running, Agent Not Replying

The new table-resolution mismatch means the gateway can be up while turns still fail with no reply, which is more dangerous than a clean crash because users may debug the wrong layer.

Loud Failure: ACP Config Changes Can Trap the Gateway in a Restart Loop

ACP configuration is now another restart-loop trigger, extending a growing cluster where the recovery mechanism itself becomes the failure source.

Why This Matters for Buyers

When the gateway is both the control plane and the failure hotspot, reliability collapses from an edge-case concern into a platform-level trust problem.

⚠️ Critical Assessment

P0 — The gateway now fails in two directions: it can produce no reply because it cannot resolve tables that do exist, and ACP configuration changes can trigger a self-sustaining restart loop. Together they create a new gateway death spiral.
