Regression (worked before, now fails)

Summary

On macOS, when I try to quit the OpenClaw desktop client, the app automatically relaunches after quitting. As a result, it is impossible to fully exit the application.

Steps to reproduce

1. Open the OpenClaw macOS app

2. In the menu bar, click “OpenClaw” → “Quit OpenClaw” (or use Cmd+Q)

3. Observe the app behavior

Expected behavior

• After quitting, OpenClaw should stay closed

• It should only start again when the user explicitly launches the app

Actual behavior

• After quitting, OpenClaw should stay closed

• It should only start again when the user explicitly launches the app
