Summary

Environment:

• Windows 10 Build 26200
• OpenClaw v2026.5.28
• WSL Gateway (OpenClawGateway)
• Hardware: Lenovo IdeaPad (model 81SQ), 4GB RAM

Problem:
Every attempt to chat fails with an agent error. The gateway is connected and healthy, but all LLM requests to Google Gemini fail with a network socket error.

Error from logs:

LLM request failed: network connection error.
failoverReason: timeout
rawErrorPreview: fetch failed
causeName: SocketError
causeCode: UND_ERR_SOCKET
providerRuntimeFailureKind: timeout

Models tried:

• google/gemini-3.1-pro-preview
• google/gemini-3-flash-preview

What works:

• curl from WSL terminal successfully reaches https://generativelanguage.googleapis.com (returns HTTP 404 as expected)
• Node.js fetch() from WSL terminal also successfully reaches the same URL (returns OK 404)
• Gateway connects fine and shows green/connected status
• Auth profile is correctly saved (google:default, google/api_key)

What doesn't work:

• Any chat message immediately fails with the above socket error
• The auth profile goes into cooldown after each failed attempt
• Deleting the auth-state.json file and re-authenticating does not fix it
• The issue persists across gateway restarts and full Windows reboots

Additional notes:

• The error hash sha256:e2c73a8fd237 appears consistently across all attempts
• Node.js was not installed in the WSL environment by default; installed via nvm as a workaround but did not resolve the issue
• WSL occasionally crashes with Wsl/Service/E_UNEXPECTED after extended use

Steps to reproduce:

1. Install OpenClaw on Windows 10 with WSL gateway
2. Configure Google Gemini as the AI provider and enter a valid API key
3. Send any message in Chat
4. Observe "Agent error" / fetch failed in logs
