Solutions

1. Run the exact wake command manually to reproduce the failure
2. Check exit code semantics: 127 = command not found, 126 = not executable, 1 = generic app error
3. Fix environment: PATH, dependencies, file permissions
4. Handle the returned success:false result and surface stderr from the wake output

Example fix

# before (binary missing)
$ omx-claw-gateway wake   # exit 127
# after
$ npm i -g omx-claw-gateway && omx openclaw wake

const exists = await new Promise(res => spawn(cmd, ['--version']).on('exit', c => res(c === 0)));

const r = await wakeOpenClaw(...); if (!r.success && /exited with code/.test(r.error ?? '')) { logWakeDiagnostics(); /* run command manually, fix env */ }

When it happens

Trigger: The gateway command itself fails: missing binary (127), bad arguments, missing dependency (1), or permission denied (126).

Common situations: See trigger scenarios.
