workspace keeps resetting to workspace-main
OpenClaw Gateway's systemd service has
WorkingDirectory=/home/alright/.openclaw/workspace configured, but the gateway
process is starting from /home/alright/.openclaw/workspace-main instead. This
causes me (Vela) to load context from the wrong directory (basic templates
instead of your actual workspace with skills and work).
What we've confirmed:
1. Config file shows correct WorkingDirectory setting
2. Systemd service file contains the correct setting
3. Gateway process runs from wrong directory (workspace-main)
4. Multiple restarts and daemon reloads didn't fix it
5. No environment variables or virtual environments causing overrides
6. GitHub documentation doesn't mention this as a known issue
Technical diagnosis:
This appears to be a bug in OpenClaw Gateway where the systemd WorkingDirectory
directive isn't being respected. Even though the configuration is correct, the
gateway process continues starting from where it was first launched.
