Crash (process/app exits or hangs)

Beta release blocker

No

Summary

The gateway process crashes with an uncaught exception repeatedly (~every 90 minutes) when the internal health monitor detects a stale Discord socket and attempts to restart it. Instead of recovering gracefully, the reconnect failure propagates as an uncaught exception and kills the entire Node.js process.

Steps to reproduce

Running normally with a Discord channel connected. No special config required — happens on its own at regular intervals.

Log Sequence

1. Health monitor fires:
   health-monitor: restarting (reason: stale-socket)
2. Uncaught exception immediately follows and process exits:

```
[openclaw] Uncaught exception: Error: Max reconnect attempts (0) reached after code 1005
at SafeGatewayPlugin.handleReconnectionAttempt (provider-CAlWEl41.js:3318:47)
at SafeGatewayPlugin.handleClose (provider-CAlWEl41.js:3364:8)
at WebSocket. (provider-CAlWEl41.js:3307:9)
at WebSocket.emit (node:events:508:28)
at WebSocket.emitClose (...ws/lib/websocket.js:273:10)
at TLSSocket.socketOnClose (...ws/lib/websocket.js:1346:15)
```

Expected behavior

Health monitor restarts the Discord WebSocket connection and gateway continues running.

Actual behavior

Uncaught exception kills the gateway process entirely. Crashed 4+ times today.
