OpenClaw Sub-Agent Spawning Fails: “gateway closed (1008): pairing required”

Cartoon illustration of a frustrated sysadmin at a terminal showing a WebSocket error "1008: pairing required". A small lobster tangled in cables is being blocked by a padlock labeled "nginx" while trying to connect a plug labeled "sub-agent" to the gateway. The sysadmin points triumphantly at a config file showing ws://127.0.0.1:18789.

If your OpenClaw sub-agents keep dying with gateway closed (1008): pairing required, the fix isn’t what you’d expect. The device is paired, the token is valid — the problem is that sub-agents are routing back through your reverse proxy instead of talking to the gateway directly. Two config changes and a quick device approval after restart, and they’ll be spawning cleanly in parallel.

Cartoon illustration of a cheerful but slightly manic sysadmin sitting at a computer, typing furiously. His head is surrounded by floating speech bubbles containing Nextcloud SMB variables: "new_share_name", "host", "share", "root", "user", "password", "mount_id", and "usernames". He has a huge grin, as if the chaos of command-line variables is the most fun he's had all week.

Nextcloud’s SMB password field has a nasty habit of rejecting perfectly valid credentials the moment you click ‘verify’. After hours of hair-pulling, I discovered the fix is blissfully simple: skip the broken GUI entirely and add the share directly with OCC commands.
Five lines in the terminal later, your share mounts perfectly, users get access, and you can get on with your life. No tickets, no forum threads, no sacrificing a goat to the SMB gods required.

Replacing the Humidity Sensor Module in a Maserati: A Step-by-Step Guide

When I first got my Maserati, it came with two diagnostic trouble codes. One of them was P100900: Humidity Sensor Module. This code doesn’t trigger a check engine light and is invisible to most generic scanning tools. I only discovered it after using the FOXWELL NT510 Elite, a bi-directional scanner that outperforms my other diagnostic …
