Summary
After upgrading OpenClaw from version 2026.4.2 to 2026.4.5, running any openclaw command (such as openclaw status or openclaw doctor --fix) results in a fatal error. The CLI is unable to find the discord-api-types/v10.js module inside the @buape/carbon dependency. Local installation of the missing package does not resolve this global dependency issue.
Steps to reproduce
- Have a working installation of OpenClaw
2026.4.2.
- Upgrade OpenClaw to version
2026.4.5.
- Run
openclaw status or openclaw doctor --fix in the terminal.
- Observe the
Cannot find module error.
Expected behavior
The CLI commands should execute successfully after the upgrade, or openclaw doctor --fix should be able to automatically repair the missing dependency.
Actual behavior
Running openclaw status or openclaw doctor --fix outputs the following:
root@iZbp1anlo43frk99hyqtaeZ:~# openclaw status
Failed to read config at /root/.openclaw/openclaw.json Error: Cannot find module '/usr/lib/node_modules/openclaw/node_modules/@buape/carbon/node_modules/discord-api-types/v10.js'

Additional provider/model setup details
The issue specifically started occurring after upgrading from 2026.4.2 to 2026.4.5.
I attempted to fix this by running npm install discord-api-types@latest in the terminal, but since it installs locally, it doesn't resolve the global dependency corruption in /usr/lib/node_modules/openclaw/....
