Description

The openclaw channels add command incorrectly overwrites the existing default account instead of creating a new entry when a unique --account name is provided. The CLI reports success, but the resulting configuration is incorrect.

Steps to Reproduce

  1. Start with an existing WeCom account named default.
  2. Execute: openclaw channels add --channel wecom --account wuxingkangWecom --token "<NEW_BOT_ID>" --secret "<NEW_SECRET>".
  3. The CLI output confirms: Added 企业微信 account "wuxingkangwecom".
  4. Run openclaw channels list or inspect openclaw.json.

Actual Behavior

The wuxingkangwecom account is missing from the list. Instead, the default account in openclaw.json has had its botId and secret updated to the new values, effectively losing the original default configuration and failing to add the second account.

Environment

  • OpenClaw version: 2026.5.7
  • OS: Linux (Docker)
