Health Checks on macOS

How to see whether the linked channel is healthy from the menu bar app.

Menu bar

• Status dot now reflects Baileys health:
  • Green: linked + socket opened recently.
  • Orange: connecting/retrying.
  • Red: logged out or probe failed.
• Secondary line reads "linked · auth 12m" or shows the failure reason.
• "Run Health Check" menu item triggers an on-demand probe.

Settings

• General tab gains a Health card showing: linked auth age, session-store path/count, last check time, last error/status code, and buttons for Run Health Check / Reveal Logs.
• Uses a cached snapshot so the UI loads instantly and falls back gracefully when offline.
• Channels tab surfaces channel status + controls for WhatsApp/Telegram (login QR, logout, probe, last disconnect/error).

How the probe works

• App runs openclaw health --json via ShellExecutor every ~60s and on demand. The probe loads creds and reports status without sending messages.
• Cache the last good snapshot and the last error separately to avoid flicker; show the timestamp of each.

When in doubt

• You can still use the CLI flow in Gateway health (openclaw status, openclaw status --deep, openclaw health --json) and tail /tmp/openclaw/openclaw-*.log for web-heartbeat / web-reconnect.
