sessions_spawn fails with "device token mismatch" — tried everything
Running OpenClaw 2026.2.14 on a Vultr VPS (Linux). sessions_spawn from inside the gateway (agent tool call) fails with:
unauthorized: device token mismatch (rotate/reissue device token)
Telegram channel works fine. The issue is only WS connections from the agent to itself.
Tried:
• openclaw devices rotate
• openclaw gateway install --force
• openclaw doctor --fix
• openclaw configure (full re-pair)
• Multiple gateway stop/start cycles
• Tokens match in identity/device-auth.json and devices/paired.json
Gateway PID is fresh, tokens are in sync, but spawn still fails. Bug?
