Bug type

Behavior bug (incorrect output/state without crash)

Summary

Editing the WebSocket URL in Overview → Gateway Access clears the Gateway Token field immediately. This causes Connect to fail unless the token is entered again.

Steps to reproduce

1. Start the dashboard UI
2. Open the Overview page
3. In Gateway Access, enter a value into Gateway Token
4. Edit the WebSocket URL field
5. Observe that the Gateway Token field is cleared
6. Click Connect

Expected behavior

Editing the WebSocket URL should not clear the Gateway Token field. The token should remain unchanged unless the user explicitly edits or clears it.

Actual behavior

As soon as the WebSocket URL field is edited, the Gateway Token field is cleared immediately.
If the user then clicks Connect without re-entering the token, the connection fails.

OpenClaw version

2026.3.8 (source checkout from upstream/main, reproduced at commit c9a6c54)

Operating system

Windows 10

Install method

pnpm ui:dev on Windows 10

Logs, screenshots, and evidence

The issue is reproducible with frontend only. I was able to reproduce it without the backend running:
- enter a token in Gateway Token
- edit WebSocket URL
- token is cleared immediately before focus leaves the URL input

Impact and severity

This issue is consistently reproducible and causes connection attempts to fail unless the user notices that the token was cleared and re-enters it manually.

Additional information

This appears to be a frontend-only bug. I reproduced it on the latest upstream/main and verified:

• entering token first, then editing URL clears the token
• the issue happens immediately on URL input, before blur

It seems related to the WebSocket URL input handling in ui/src/ui/views/overview.ts, where editing the URL may be resetting the stored token value during input.
