OpenClaw gateway restart kills progress. any fix? Who else experienced it?
Summary
User reports that restarting OpenClaw gateway kills ongoing task progress, and seeks a fix. Several workarounds attempted without success.
Running OpenClaw 2026.4.14 (build 323493f) with Kimi (not Claude). Every gateway restart kilss the progress of whatever task ongoing in that session and I have to manually re-prompt or ask for update. Tried: • [`CHECKPOINT.md`](http://checkpoint.md/) — agent forgets to read it after restart • `boot-resume` skill — doesn't trigger on restart • Systemd `ExecStartPost` — timing issue, cron not ready What actually works? Any official fix coming?
