Summary
After upgrading from 2006.5.7 to 2006.5.12 via openclaw update the web and Mac App (2006.5.7) are failing to connect to the gateway.
MacOS 26.5
Node: 26.0.0
Ollama 0.23.4
Brave
The logs show the following errors:

Nothing changed in the openclaw.json file that looks suspicious on a diff of the before and after file except for the addition of the following lines:
"web": {
"enabled": true
},
I re-installed the gateway and restarted. No changes. I do use openclaw update but for some reason Doctor doesn't seem to think so.
Steps to reproduce
- I ran a Brew update before I ran the openclaw update. This updated Node to v26.0.0, and Ollama to 0.23.4
- Run openclaw update from version 2006.5.8
- restart the gateway
Expected behavior
No connection issues with Node 26.0.0. The gateway wasn't experiencing any issues before with Node 25.9.0.
Actual behavior
The logs show the following errors:

◇ Command owner ────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────╮
│ │
│ No command owner is configured. │
│ A command owner is the human operator account allowed to run owner-only commands and │
│ approve dangerous actions, including /diagnostics, /export-trajectory, /config, and exec │
│ approvals. │
│ DM pairing only lets someone talk to the bot; it does not make that sender the owner for │
│ privileged commands. │
│ Fix: set commands.ownerAllowFrom to your channel user id, for example openclaw config │
│ set commands.ownerAllowFrom '["telegram:123456789"]' │
│ Restart the gateway after changing this if it is already running. │
