Running Windows. Had 2026.4.26 installed, downgraded to 2026.4.23 via npm. Gateway starts and shows [gateway] ready but browser UI never loads β€” websocket handshake times out every time.
Tried:

OPENCLAW_ALLOW_OLDER_BINARY_DESTRUCTIVE_ACTIONS=1
openclaw gateway install --force
openclaw gateway restart

Status shows:

openclaw --version β†’ 2026.4.23 βœ…
openclaw config get meta.lastTouchedVersion β†’ 2026.4.26 ❌
Connectivity probe: failed (timeout)

Gateway runs (pid active, port 18789 listening) but websocket handshake fails. How do I get the config aligned with 4.23 so the UI connects?
