fix(gateway): remove --dev flag from gateway startup args#167
Merged
Conversation
The --dev flag caused OpenClaw gateway to run in dev mode, which on first startup triggers ensureDevGatewayConfig() writing a "dev" agent with id="dev", default=true, and a C3-PO identity to ~/.openclaw/openclaw.json. This made all packaged builds default to the dev workspace instead of the standard "main" agent workspace. Co-authored-by: Cursor <cursoragent@cursor.com>
