Bug Description

In OpenClaw 2026.4.2, the web_fetch tool does not respect HTTP_PROXY/HTTPS_PROXY environment variables even when they are correctly configured in the systemd service.

Root Cause

In http-client-COwW1KRl.js line 111:

dispatcher = createPinnedDispatcher(
  await resolvePinnedHostnameWithPolicy(currentUrl.hostname, { policy: params.ssrfPolicy }),
  params.dispatcherPolicy,
  params.ssrfPolicy
);

In ssrf-BWlfjI7J.js, createPinnedDispatcher() checks policy.mode:

if (!policy || policy.mode === "direct") return new Agent({...});
if (policy.mode === "env-proxy") return new EnvHttpProxyAgent({...});

Because params.dispatcherPolicy is never set to {mode: "env-proxy"}, the dispatcher always falls back to a direct Agent.

Suggested Fix

Detect HTTP_PROXY/HTTPS_PROXY and pass {mode: "env-proxy"} as dispatcherPolicy.

Environment
