bot doctor
bot doctor --repair
bot doctor --deepNotes:
- Interactive prompts (like keychain/OAuth fixes) only run when stdin is a TTY and
--non-interactiveis not set. Headless runs (cron, Telegram, no terminal) will skip prompts. --fix(alias for--repair) writes a backup to~/.bot/bot.json.bakand drops unknown config keys, listing each removal.
macOS: launchctl env overrides
If you previously ran launchctl setenv BOT_GATEWAY_TOKEN ... (or ...PASSWORD), that value overrides your config file and can cause persistent βunauthorizedβ errors.
launchctl getenv BOT_GATEWAY_TOKEN
launchctl getenv BOT_GATEWAY_PASSWORD
launchctl unsetenv BOT_GATEWAY_TOKEN
launchctl unsetenv BOT_GATEWAY_PASSWORD
