Impact and severity
Blocks workflow entirely. Gateway crashes every ~3 minutes on every startup attempt. Telegram channel cannot receive messages. Browser dashboard unreachable. Affects all Windows users. Frequency: always reproducible.
Additional information
Attempted openclaw plugins disable bonjour - had no effect, bonjour still loads and crashes gateway. Problem occurs on all ports tested (18789, 8080). Firewall rule added for port 18789 - no effect on crash.
