Today I updated Openclaw from v2026.4.21 to v2026.4.23 and now it goes into a start loop when I start the service on MacOS with command "sudo launchctl load -w /Library/LaunchDaemons/ai.openclaw.gateway.plist" :

I had the same issue start this morning, and disabled the Bonjour plugin and that seemed to resolve it. Don't know when that got added or what had changed.
