Summary

After upgrading OpenClaw via npm, openclaw --version reports the new version correctly, but openclaw status still shows an older version in the Gateway line (app 2026.2.21).

Environment

• Device: Raspberry Pi (arm64)
• OS: Linux 6.12.47+rpt-rpi-2712
• Node.js: 22.22.0
• Install mode: global npm package
• Channel: stable

Steps to Reproduce

1. Upgrade OpenClaw:

   sudo npm i -g [email protected]

2. Restart gateway:

   openclaw gateway restart

3. Check CLI version:

   openclaw --version

4. Check status:

   openclaw status

Actual Behavior

• openclaw --version => 2026.3.2
• openclaw status Gateway row includes:
  • ... auth token ... app 2026.2.21 ...

Expected Behavior

openclaw status should display the currently running Gateway app version consistently with the installed/running version (or clearly indicate what that field represents if it is not app runtime version).

Additional Notes

Operationally, the system appears healthy:

• openclaw gateway status => running, RPC probe ok
• Slack probe => ok
• Cron notifications => delivered

So this looks like a status/version reporting inconsistency rather than a runtime failure.
