Connectivity with OpenClaw

issues & bugs
1

I have been trying to use the R1 regularly in combination with my local instance of OpenClaw. The challenge is that nearly half the times, the R1 gets stuck on a spinner after I submit my PTT request.

When diagnosing, the issue seems to be always the same:

  1. rabbit-agent is running
  2. OpenClaw CLI is ok
  3. The gateway is healthy
  4. There is an open ACP session but it’s idle.

The R1 connected, did the initial handshake, but no actual prompts are coming through from Rabbit’s cloud.

Am I doing anything wrong?

EDIT: I created a small skill for OpenClaw to diagnose issues with R1 connectivity btw ( GitHub - GrewingM/r1-triage · GitHub )

have a similar issue except with me its hermes that spins even when openclaw works. the fix is generally pressing the action button 5 times or doing a lock wake cycle. After extensive bug tracing, Agent on r1 intermittently enters a stale session state. rabbit-agent successfully launches and initializes Hermes ACP (Initialize → New session), but subsequent r1 input produces no session/prompt and no corresponding write to the stdin FIFO. even when other providers remain operational. After an r1 lock/wake or cloud-session reconnect, rabbit-agent immediately writes to the existing FIFO and processes the prompt normally within seconds. I dont know what rabbit needs to do to fix this, but there not really anything you can do.
