[Bug]: openclaw gateway restart fails to restart service (SIGTERM instead of SIGUSR1) #44490

Description

@hooya754

Bug type

Regression (worked before, now fails)

Summary

Description
When running openclaw gateway restart, the Gateway service stops but fails to restart. Only a manual system restart (or computer reboot) restores the service.

Steps to reproduce

Run openclaw gateway restart
Observe that the Gateway stops
Wait - service does not automatically restart

Expected behavior

The Gateway should restart smoothly using SIGUSR1 signal (in-process restart).

Actual behavior

Gateway receives SIGTERM and shuts down completely
No automatic restart occurs
Logs show: [gateway] signal SIGTERM received instead of [gateway] signal SIGUSR1 received
