lang:javascript type:debug

Diagnose OpenClaw node connection and pairing failures for Android, iOS, and macOS companion apps. Use when QR/setup code/manual connect fails, local Wi-Fi works but VPS/tailnet does not, or errors mention pairing required, unauthorized, bootstrap token invalid or expired, gateway.bind, gateway.remote.url, Tailscale, or plugins.entries.device-pair.config.publicUrl.

From the source SKILL.md

Goal: find the one real route from node -> gateway, verify OpenClaw is advertising that route, then fix pairing/auth.
