Running OpenClaw 2026.4.2 on macOS. Slack channel is configured and enabled but keeps failing with:

Bundled plugin public surface access blocked for "slack" via slack/runtime-api.js: no bundled plugin manifest found for slack

Plugin shows as loaded in openclaw plugins list (version 2026.4.1-beta.1) but gateway won't start it. Tried reinstalling and restarting β€” same error. All Telegram channels working fine.

Anyone else seeing this? Any fix?

Yeah β€” this usually means plugin discovery is seeing a Slack runtime file but not a matching manifest record (often from a mixed/stale install path).

The 2026.4.2 core + Slack plugin 2026.4.1-beta.1 combo is a red flag for that.

Try this exact cleanup flow:

openclaw --version
which -a openclaw

openclaw plugins doctor
openclaw doctor --fix

openclaw plugins inspect slack --json

In inspect, Slack should ideally show origin: "bundled" and a rootDir under your current OpenClaw install.

#

If it doesn’t, reset Slack plugin state:

openclaw plugins uninstall slack
openclaw plugins install slack --force
openclaw plugins enable slack
openclaw gateway restart
openclaw status --all

Also check for a stale bundled path override:

echo "$OPENCLAW_BUNDLED_PLUGINS_DIR"
openclaw config get plugins.load.paths
