#Of course I see no "approval gate"

The approval gate error typically means OpenClaw is stuck waiting for a confirmation that isn't appearing in the UI, usually because the exec tool is set to ask for permission but your user ID isn't recognized as the admin. Try running openclaw doctor to check for permission flags, and if that doesn't help, paste your **__redacted __**config so we can see if the tool policy is conflicting with your allowlist.

Thank you @compact mica - so I got the exec command functional by changing security to full in both exec-approvals.json and openclaw.json.

I don't really want this level of permission - I would rather have an allowlist where the Openclaw would ask me for permission.

So I changed exec-approvals.json's agents.main.security back to allowlist and now it blocks, without asking, despite ask being == on-miss

It seems that the real problem here is that I can't approve approval requests. The theory that my user ID isn't recognized as admin is interesting. I'm not sure how to test this theory though.

Appreciate the offer to help!
