After upgrading, Discord bot goes into a crash loop — shows "is typing..." briefly then disappears with no response. All Discord channels affected. Other channels (WebChat) work fine. The separately-installed @openclaw/discord plugin (v2026.5.6) ships module files with different content hashes than what the OpenClaw v2026.5.6 core expects. Specifically: Cannot find module '.../dist/extensions/discord/manager.runtime-DZtenh59.js' imported from '.../dist/extensions/discord/provider-Bc1Lm79N.js' The installed plugin has manager.runtime-B0TEyget.js but core references manager.runtime-DZtenh59.js — hash mismatch between core and plugin package.

Additional missing modules in v2026.5.6 core:

pi-model-discovery-runtime.js (model catalog fails to load) session-archive.runtime-DHboV7a2.js (cron reaper fails every 60s)

Code Example

Key finding: The @openclaw/discord npm plugin persists in ~/.openclaw/npm/node_modules/ even after rolling back the core via npm install -g. The version mismatch between old core and new plugin causes the same crash. Both must be reverted together.
