How to approve pending request on web interface Reason: the automation browse
✅Solved
Reason: the automation browser service isn’t available on this Mac mini (no supported Chrome/Brave/Edge/Chromium found for the browser-control tool), and the CLI is blocked until pairing is approved (“pairing required”). So I’m stuck in a loop where I need one manual click to regain control.
Here’s the quickest manual way:
1) On the Mac mini, open Safari (or any browser you use)
2) Go to: http://127.0.0.1:18789/
3) Look for Pairing / Approvals / Devices (or a banner saying pairing is required)
4) Approve the pending request for ai.openclaw.node / node host (localhost)
After you approve it, tell me “done” and I’ll:
- restart the node service
- confirm
- then I can pull the exact $ usage totals for today.
Where do I find the approval/device section?? Can’t find it anywhere

Solution
Nice — if the approval went through, the “pairing required” loop should be gone now.
On the Mac mini, can you run and paste the output of:
(Optional if you’re also running a headless node host service there:)
If anything still says
