openclaw - 💡(How to fix) Fix BB envelope: prefer MessageSidFull over MessageSid so one-shot CLI can resolve message ids [1 comments, 2 participants]

Symptom

openclaw message react --channel bluebubbles --message-id <short> from a one-shot CLI subprocess fails with:

Error: BlueBubbles short message id <short:N-digit> is no longer available. Use MessageSidFull.

Same class hits reply, edit, unsend whenever the agent invokes them via the CLI using the short id from its conversation_info envelope.

Root cause

reactions-D1ETgpPi.js:864 (resolveBlueBubblesMessageId) consults an in-memory Map (blueBubblesShortIdToUuid) populated by monitor-processing.js:603 when messages flow through the long-running gateway. The CLI is a fresh subprocess per invocation, so the in-memory map is empty in the CLI's process and the short→uuid lookup misses.

Meanwhile get-reply.js:1735-1737 constructs the agent's metadata block:

const messageId = normalizePromptMetadataString(ctx.MessageSid);
const messageIdFull = normalizePromptMetadataString(ctx.MessageSidFull);
const resolvedMessageId = messageId ?? messageIdFull;

It prefers the SHORT id over the FULL GUID, so the agent never sees the GUID it would need to call the CLI directly. The agent gets "message_id": "353" in its envelope, has no GUID to fall back on, and the CLI rejects the short id.

Proposed fix

One-line swap at get-reply.js:1737:

-    const resolvedMessageId = messageId ?? messageIdFull;
+    const resolvedMessageId = messageIdFull ?? messageId;

Agent now gets the full GUID when available, falls back to short id only when the full GUID isn't present. CLI works directly. No in-memory map dependency.

Alternative (more invasive): add a separate message_id_full field to the conversation_info envelope so both ids are available. Useful if any consumers depend on the short id format.

Verified locally

Patched the dist file at /opt/homebrew/lib/node_modules/openclaw/dist/get-reply-462JLlw-.js with the one-line swap. Patch reapply script at https://github.com/<workspace> for survival across brew upgrade openclaw. Will retire the script when this lands upstream.
