Examples
moltbot doctor
moltbot doctor --repair
moltbot 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~/.moltbot/moltbot.json.bakand drops unknown config keys, listing each removal.
macOS: launchctl env overrides
If you previously ran launchctl setenv MOLTBOT_GATEWAY_TOKEN ... (or ...PASSWORD), that value overrides your config file and can cause persistent “unauthorized” errors.
launchctl getenv MOLTBOT_GATEWAY_TOKEN
launchctl getenv MOLTBOT_GATEWAY_PASSWORD
launchctl unsetenv MOLTBOT_GATEWAY_TOKEN
launchctl unsetenv MOLTBOT_GATEWAY_PASSWORD
