 Fix:
 - Fastest: `clawdbot dashboard` (prints + copies tokenized link, tries to open; shows SSH hint if headless).
+- If you don’t have a token yet: `clawdbot doctor --generate-gateway-token`.
 - If remote, tunnel first: `ssh -N -L 18789:127.0.0.1:18789 user@host` then open `http://127.0.0.1:18789/?token=...`.
 - Set `gateway.auth.token` (or `CLAWDBOT_GATEWAY_TOKEN`) on the gateway host.
 - In the Control UI settings, paste the same token (or refresh with a one-time `?token=...` link).
+- Still stuck? Run `clawdbot status --all` and follow [Troubleshooting](/gateway/troubleshooting). See [Dashboard](/web/dashboard) for auth details.
