Root Cause

  • Runtime bundles treated Discord threads as needing volatile metadata repeated every turn
  • CLI session resolver wasn't looking up by actual delivery context (channel + to + accountId)
  • Command path didn't propagate sufficient context to the resolver

Fix Action

Fix / Workaround

Also fixed a regression from the first patch: replaced incorrect resolveAgentMainSessionKey usage with buildAgentMainSessionKey(...)

Manual patch on compiled bundles in openclaw/dist/ — will be lost on next update/reinstall. Maintain re-application script post-update.

Problem

Two related regressions affecting live Discord sessions in OpenClaw:

  1. Volatile metadata re-injected every turn: In Discord threads, message_id, reply_to_id, timestamp, Thread starter, and Chat history since last reply were being re-injected on every turn, causing progressive context degradation.

  2. CLI routing to wrong session: openclaw agent --channel discord --to ... appeared to deliver but resolved to agent:*:main instead of the live thread-bound session.

Symptoms

  • Progressive performance/context degradation in long threads
  • CLI agent commands landing in wrong session
  • Unnecessary context bloat from repeated metadata

Root Cause

  • Runtime bundles treated Discord threads as needing volatile metadata repeated every turn
  • CLI session resolver wasn't looking up by actual delivery context (channel + to + accountId)
  • Command path didn't propagate sufficient context to the resolver

Files Modified (Runtime Bundles)

  • dist/pi-embedded-D6PpOsxP.js
  • dist/gateway-cli-BjsM6fWb.js
  • dist/compact-1mmJ_KWL.js
  • dist/register.agent-DHoJWl4M.js

Changes Applied

pi-embedded-D6PpOsxP.js

Prevented injection for Discord threads:

  • message_id
  • reply_to_id
  • timestamp
  • Thread starter
  • Chat history since last reply

gateway-cli-BjsM6fWb.js

Added session resolution by actual delivery target, normalizing Discord targets (148... and channel:148...)

compact-1mmJ_KWL.js

Added delivery context lookup in the agent command session resolver

register.agent-DHoJWl4M.js

Started passing channel and replyAccount/accountId to the resolver

Also fixed a regression from the first patch: replaced incorrect resolveAgentMainSessionKey usage with buildAgentMainSessionKey(...)

Verification

  • openclaw-gateway.service restarted to load changes
  • New writer and reasoning sessions showing real toolCall output post-restart
  • Discord threads no longer loading useless repeated context
  • CLI now routes by actual Discord target instead of defaulting to main

Important

Manual patch on compiled bundles in openclaw/dist/ — will be lost on next update/reinstall. Maintain re-application script post-update.

Environment

  • OpenClaw version: 2026.3.11
  • Channel: Discord
  • Deployment: systemd service

Related

  • Discord thread context handling
  • CLI session resolution
  • Gateway routing

Fix Plan

To fix the regressions affecting live Discord sessions in OpenClaw, apply the following steps:

  • Prevent injection of volatile metadata for Discord threads by modifying the pi-embedded-D6PpOsxP.js file:
// Prevent injection of volatile metadata for Discord threads
if (channel === 'discord') {
  delete message.metadata.message_id;
  delete message.metadata.reply_to_id;
  delete message.metadata.timestamp;
  delete message.metadata['Thread starter'];
  delete message.metadata['Chat history since last reply'];
}
  • Update the gateway-cli-BjsM6fWb.js file to resolve sessions by actual delivery target:
// Resolve session by actual delivery target
const sessionKey = buildAgentMainSessionKey(channel, to, accountId);
  • Modify the compact-1mmJ_KWL.js file to add delivery context lookup in the agent command session resolver:
// Add delivery context lookup in the agent command session resolver
const deliveryContext = { channel, to, accountId };
const session = resolveAgentSession(deliveryContext);
  • Update the register.agent-DHoJWl4M.js file to pass channel and replyAccount/accountId to the resolver:
// Pass channel and replyAccount/accountId to the resolver
const sessionKey = buildAgentMainSessionKey(channel, replyAccount.accountId);

Verification

To verify the fix, restart the openclaw-gateway.service and check for the following:

  • New writer and reasoning sessions show real toolCall output post-restart
  • Discord threads no longer load useless repeated context
  • CLI now routes by actual Discord target instead of defaulting to main

Extra Tips

To prevent regressions, maintain a re-application script to re-apply the patches after updates or reinstalls. Additionally, consider implementing automated testing to detect similar issues in the future.
