The Gateway core auto-updater (when enabled via config) reuses this same update path.
By default, `openclaw update` also restarts the gateway after the core and plugin update finishes. That matters for migrations that complete on startup, including the Matrix in-place upgrade flow.

5. Rebases onto the selected commit (dev only).
6. Installs deps (pnpm preferred; npm fallback).
7. Builds + builds the Control UI.

8. Runs `openclaw doctor --fix` as the final “safe update” check.
9. Syncs plugins to the active channel (dev uses bundled extensions; stable/beta uses npm) and updates npm-installed plugins.
For package-manager installs, `openclaw update` updates the package, runs a non-interactive doctor pass when possible, syncs plugins, and restarts the gateway by default.
If you use `--no-restart`, startup-backed migrations do not finish until you later restart the gateway yourself. For Matrix upgrades, the recommended follow-up is:
```bash
openclaw doctor --fix
openclaw gateway restart
```
## `--update` shorthand
`openclaw --update` rewrites to `openclaw update` (useful for shells and launcher scripts).
