OpenClaw TUI Startup Hangs at 100% CPU Due to Bundled Plugin Reload Loop

On v2026.4.29, openclaw tui causes 100% CPU hang. Bundled plugin loader re-loads 49 provider plugins in a tight loop that never terminates. Workaround: OPENCLAW_DISABLE_BUNDLED_PLUGINS=1.

Product Idea from this Signal

A CLI tool that tests OpenClaw updates against your live config, plugins, and channels before you upgrade

523 โ–ฒ

OpenClaw ships 2-3 releases per week and every other update breaks gateway startup, Discord integrations, or TUI for users who skip versions. The built-in openclaw doctor only runs post-upgrade, after damage is done. This tool spins up the target version in an isolated Docker container with a copy of your config, plugins, and channel credentials, runs automated smoke tests against every registered channel, and reports what will break before you commit to the upgrade.
