Environment:

• OpenClaw 2026.3.24
• Linux
• Microsoft Teams enabled
• Azure bot credentials configured
• webhook configured as:
  channels.msteams.webhook.port = 3978
  channels.msteams.webhook.path = /api/messages

Issue:
The msteams channel crashes on startup before binding the webhook listener, so Teams webhooks cannot be received at all.

Observed gateway log:
2026-03-28T11:11:30.506+10:00 info gateway/channels/msteams starting provider (port 3978)
2026-03-28T11:11:30.530+10:00 info gateway/channels/msteams msteams resolve failed; using config entries. TypeError: Missing parameter name at index 5: /api*; visit https://git.new/pathToRegexpError for info
2026-03-28T11:11:30.535+10:00 error gateway/channels/msteams [default] channel exited: Missing parameter name at index 5: /api*; visit https://git.new/pathToRegexpError for info

Notes:

• This happens with the documented default webhook path /api/messages
• Public npm latest is still 2026.3.24
• GitHub tags also stop at v2026.3.24
• Teams docs reference /api/messages as the default path
• Because the provider never starts, external webhook forwarding (Hookdeck, ngrok, etc.) cannot work
