Description

The gateway crashes with \Unhandled promise rejection: TypeError: fetch failed\ when network requests timeout or fail.

Steps to Reproduce

1. Run gateway normally
2. Network briefly drops or API times out
3. Gateway crashes instead of handling the error gracefully

Expected Behavior

The gateway should catch fetch errors and retry, or at least not crash completely.

Actual Behavior

\
[clawdbot] Unhandled promise rejection: TypeError: fetch failed
at node:internal/deps/undici/undici:16416:13
at processTicksAndRejections (node:internal/process/task_queues:104:5)
\\

Gateway exits and requires restart.

Environment

• Clawdbot version: 2026.1.24-3
• Node.js: v25.4.0
• OS: Windows 11
• Channels: Telegram

Workaround

Using a watchdog script to auto-restart, but this causes brief service interruptions.

Suggestion

Add try/catch with retry logic around fetch calls, or use a fetch wrapper with automatic retries.
