## Status
- Gateway restarted (PID changed from 44329 → 45937)
- Model: ollama/deepseek-v3.2:cloud (via Ollama)

## Suggestions
- **OpenClaw doctor fallback**: When `openclaw doctor` fails (e.g., missing config files), it should look for backup files (like `openclaw.json.bak`, `openclaw.json~`, or `.openclaw/backup/*`) and offer to restore from them.
- Could add a `--recover-backup` flag or auto‑detect when primary config is missing/corrupt.
- Useful for upgrades, accidental deletions, or migration issues.

## Actions
- Created memory directory (first run).
- Tested `openclaw doctor` → works, shows system status (orphan transcripts, session locks, security, etc.).
- Found existing backup files:
  - `~/.openclaw/openclaw.json.bak`
  - `~/.openclaw/workspace/MEMORY.md.bak`
  - `~/.openclaw/cron/jobs.json.bak`
- Doctor currently does NOT check for backups or offer recovery — enhancement opportunity.
- Added to **TODO.md** (Topher's list).
