Description
[Bug] ACP runtime backend reports 'unavailable' on Windows despite acpx working
Description
ACP runtime backend reports 'unavailable' when using sessions_spawn({ runtime: 'acp' }) on Windows, even though acpx CLI works perfectly when invoked directly.
Environment
- OS: Windows (via Tailscale)
- OpenClaw: 2026.2.26
- acpx: 0.1.13
Steps to Reproduce
- Install acpx globally: npm install -g acpx@latest
- Install acpx locally in plugin directory
- Add config to openclaw.json (plugins.entries.acpx.enabled, acp config, discord threadBindings)
- Restart gateway
- Try: sessions_spawn({ runtime: 'acp', agentId: 'codex', task: 'print hello' })
Expected Behavior
ACP session should start and return results from Codex.
Actual Behavior
Returns: "ACP runtime backend is currently unavailable. Try again in a moment."
Debugging Done
- acpx --version works (0.1.13)
- acpx.cmd --help in plugin directory works (exit code 0)
- Plugin shows as 'loaded' in openclaw plugins list
- Version check passes
- No errors in gateway logs
Workaround
Use direct CLI: codex exec "your task" - works perfectly
Additional Notes
- Direct Codex CLI (codex exec) works great
- This might be a Windows-specific issue with how the gateway spawns processes vs interactive sessions
