Error Message

After a gateway restart and Discord config cleanup, only the visible Jarvis Discord app replied, but the response content still identified itself as Billy:

Bug

After changing Discord routing/account configuration, Discord channel sessions can remain bound to a stale agent identity. The visible Discord bot/account may be correct, but the runtime/session persona can still be the previously-bound agent.

Observed behavior

After a gateway restart and Discord config cleanup, only the visible Jarvis Discord app replied, but the response content still identified itself as Billy:

Currently handling your messages: Billy (me!)

Investigation found a stale Discord route/session key resembling:

agent:billy:discord:channel:<channel-id>

while delivery/account routing had moved to the main/Jarvis Discord account.

Expected behavior

When Discord routing/default account/agent bindings change, new inbound Discord messages should bind to the configured/default agent identity, e.g.:

agent:main:discord:channel:<channel-id>

A stale per-channel session binding should not silently override the current agent routing/persona after config changes and gateway restart.

Impact

This can make the visible bot identity and the assistant/persona diverge:

  • Discord shows the Jarvis bot replying.
  • The runtime answers as Billy or another stale agent.
  • Users see confusing identity/routing behavior after updates or config changes.

Related Discord routing regression

Project-channel routing also appeared inconsistent after an update/config migration: Jarvis reliably woke in #general, but initially did not wake in some project channels until routing/workspace issues were corrected.

Suggested fix direction

  • Ensure Discord inbound session keys are derived from current effective routing config, not stale historical agent bindings.
  • Consider invalidating or migrating stale Discord channel session bindings when channels.discord.defaultAccount, enabled accounts, or agent routing config changes.
  • Add diagnostics that surface when delivery account and runtime agent/session key disagree.

extent analysis

TL;DR

Update the Discord session key derivation to use the current effective routing configuration instead of stale historical agent bindings.

Guidance

  • Review the Discord session key generation logic to ensure it reflects the current routing configuration, including the channels.discord.defaultAccount and enabled accounts.
  • Consider implementing a mechanism to invalidate or migrate stale Discord channel session bindings when the routing configuration changes, such as when the channels.discord.defaultAccount or agent routing config is updated.
  • Add diagnostic logging to detect and report discrepancies between the delivery account and runtime agent/session key, allowing for easier identification of stale session bindings.

Example

No code snippet is provided as the issue does not include specific code references.

Notes

The suggested fix direction implies that the issue is related to the session key derivation logic and the handling of stale session bindings. However, without more information about the specific implementation, it is difficult to provide a more detailed solution.

Recommendation

Apply a workaround by invalidating or migrating stale Discord channel session bindings when the routing configuration changes, as this is a more targeted approach to addressing the issue. This will help ensure that the Discord bot identity and runtime agent persona remain consistent after config changes and gateway restarts.
