## CPU Drain Investigation & Fix
- OpenClaw gateway was at 61% CPU at idle after v2026.4.29 upgrade attempt
- Root cause: Discord crash loop — rate-limited slash commands, gateway timeouts, 30-40s event loop blocks
- Discord was reconnecting in a loop, each cycle blocking Node event loop
- Agent bootstraps taking 80-117s (should be 5-10s), LLM calls timing out, Telegram send failures
- Fix: Disabled Discord in openclaw.json (`channels.discord.enabled = false`)
- CPU dropped from 61% → 14% after Discord disable + gateway restart
- Also set `channels.telegram.timeoutSeconds = 30` (v2026.4.8 didn't have v2026.4.29's polling fix)
 
## OpenClaw Upgrade Status
- Claw attempted upgrade to v2026.4.29 — went sideways
- npm still shows v2026.4.8 installed globally
- Partial artifacts remain: plugin-runtime-deps/openclaw-2026.4.29-*, openclaw.json.backup-2026.4.29, openclaw.json.last-good
- Config lastTouchedVersion = 2026.4.29 but actual installed version = 2026.4.8
- Need to decide: complete upgrade or stay on v2026.4.8
 
## New Software Found
- Claw Empire (climpire v2.0.4) installed at ~/openclaw/claw-empire/ — multi-agent orchestration dashboard
- Not currently running, no systemd service
- Mission Control (robsannaa) also not running — was on port 3333 dev mode
 
## Pi Reboot
- Topher rebooted the Pi during the session
- Pi back online on Tailscale (100.99.44.24, 11ms)
