I get this error related to the gmail hook:

watch: hook failed: Post "http://127.0.0.1:18789/hooks/gmail": dial tcp 127.0.0.1:18789: connect: operation timed out

That timeout means Clawdbot can't reach the Gmail hook endpoint. Here are the most common causes:

1. Is the hook service running?

ps aux | grep hook

Look for clawdbot-hook or a process on port 18789.

2. Check if the port is listening:

ss -tlnp | grep 18789
# or
netstat -tlnp | grep 18789

3. Restart the hook service:
