openclaw - 💡(How to fix) Fix [Bug]: Duplicate messages in WebChat: UI renders user input and assistant response twice in a single turn. [1 comments, 2 participants]

TL;DR

The issue of duplicate messages in WebChat can likely be resolved by investigating and adjusting the message processing logic in the OpenClaw environment, specifically focusing on how user inputs and assistant responses are handled and rendered in the chat history.

Guidance

• Review the OpenClaw codebase for any recent changes that might affect message processing, especially in the areas responsible for rendering chat history.
• Verify the configuration of the clash proxies and deepseek-v4-flash model to ensure they are not inadvertently duplicating messages.
• Check the browser's console for any JavaScript errors that might indicate a client-side issue causing the duplication.
• Inspect the network requests and responses between the WebChat interface and the OpenClaw backend to identify any potential issues with message handling.

Example

No specific code snippet can be provided without more details on the OpenClaw environment's codebase, but a general approach might involve checking for any loops or recursive functions that could be causing the duplication of messages.

Notes

The solution may depend on the specific implementation details of the OpenClaw environment and the WebChat interface, which are not fully provided in the issue description. Additional logging or debugging may be necessary to pinpoint the exact cause.

Recommendation

Apply a workaround by temporarily modifying the WebChat interface to filter out duplicate messages on the client side, until the root cause can be identified and fixed in the OpenClaw environment. This approach is chosen because it allows for a quicker mitigation of the issue for users while a more permanent fix is developed.
