Case 04373
Fix and verify OpenClaw TTS media-route behavior in installed dist builds. Use when users report that tts.convert returns unusable audio URLs, media TTS MP3 routes serve HTML instead of binary audio, Bearer auth is not enforced on media routes, Range requests fail, or temporary TTS files are not cleaned up. Applies to hashed gateway-cli dist files and includes backup, patch, restart, and curl verification workflow.From its SKILL.md

TTS Media Route Fix
Overview
Apply a production-safe patch workflow for OpenClaw installs where tts.convert and /media/tts/<id>.mp3 routing are broken or incomplete.
Always back up hashed dist files before edits, patch minimally, restart gateway, and verify with authenticated range curl.
Workflow
- Locate active hashed
gateway-cli-*.jsfiles. - Back up each file to
*.bakbefore modifying. - Patch HTTP handler for
GET/HEAD /media/tts/<id>.mp3with auth, validation, binary output, and Range. - Ensure
tts.convertpayload returnsaudioUrlunder/media/tts/<id>.mp3and mp3 metadata. - Restart gateway.
- Verify with Bearer-authenticated curl (including
--range). - Confirm temporary file TTL cleanup (2–5 minutes).
Commands
1) Find hashed dist targets
Use scripts/find_gateway_cli.sh to locate candidate files:
bash scripts/find_gateway_cli.sh
If multiple candidates exist, patch only the currently used runtime build(s).
2) Back up before edits
For each target:
cp /path/to/gateway-cli-<hash>.js /path/to/gateway-cli-<hash>.js.bak
Never skip backups.
3) Patch requirements
Implement or fix handler for GET and HEAD at /media/tts/<id>.mp3:
- Validate filename strictly (no traversal, fixed suffix
.mp3). - Require Bearer token with same gateway auth policy.
- Serve binary MP3 with
Content-Type: audio/mpeg. - Support Range and send
Accept-Ranges: bytes. - Correct status behavior:
404,405,416,200/206.
For tts.convert, ensure response structure:
{
"ok": true,
"payload": {
"audioUrl": "/media/tts/<id>.mp3",
"mimeType": "audio/mpeg",
"format": "mp3"
}
}
TTL behavior: keep files temporary and auto-clean in 2–5 minutes.
4) Restart gateway
openclaw gateway restart
5) Verify media route
Use scripts/verify_tts_media_route.sh or run manually:
curl -i -H "Authorization: Bearer <token>" \
"http://<host>:<port>/media/tts/<id>.mp3" \
--range 0-127
Expected:
- HTTP
200or206 Content-Type: audio/mpeg- Binary content (not HTML / control-ui page)
Guardrails
- Patch minimally; avoid unrelated refactors.
- Keep auth checks identical to existing gateway Bearer model.
- Preserve existing routing behavior outside
/media/tts/*. - If patching fails, restore
.bakand retry.
