Solution

That error means the Gateway is refusing to start because your config has an invalid value for session.dmScope
session.dmScope
(often from a bad edit when trying to “combine DMs”).

Valid values are only:
-

"main"

"main"

(all DMs collapse into the main session — “combined DMs”)
-

"per-peer"

"per-peer"

"per-channel-peer"

"per-channel-peer"

(recommended for multi-user inboxes)
-

"per-account-channel-peer"

"per-account-channel-peer"

Fix

1) Check your config file (JSON5):

~/.openclaw/openclaw.json

~/.openclaw/openclaw.json

(or

$OPENCLAW_CONFIG_PATH

$OPENCLAW_CONFIG_PATH

)
2) Find the

session

session

block and set exactly (note the casing

dmScope

dmScope

{
  session: {
    dmScope: "main",

{
  session: {
    dmScope: "main",
