After upgrading to OpenClaw 2026.5.3-1, the Feishu channel plugin is no longer available in the stock plugins list, causing Feishu messages to not be processed.

The channels.feishu configuration (appId + appSecret) is still present and valid, but the plugin itself is missing from dist/extensions/.

Root Cause

Based on the 2026.5.3 CHANGELOG:

  1. Plugin externalization change: "Plugins/install: harden official plugin install... so externalized plugins behave like first-class package installs"
  2. Over-cleanup during upgrade: "Doctor/plugins: remove orphaned or recovered managed npm copies of bundled @openclaw/* plugins"

It appears the Feishu plugin was incorrectly classified as "orphaned" and removed during the plugin externalization migration.

Fix Action

Workaround

No workaround available. Feishu channel is completely non-functional until the plugin is restored.

Code Example

$ openclaw plugins list | grep feishu
(no output - feishu plugin not found)

$ ls dist/extensions/ | grep feishu
(no output)

$ openclaw gateway status
⚠️ plugins.entries.feishu: plugin not found: feishu (stale config entry ignored)

Description

After upgrading to OpenClaw 2026.5.3-1, the Feishu channel plugin is no longer available in the stock plugins list, causing Feishu messages to not be processed.

The channels.feishu configuration (appId + appSecret) is still present and valid, but the plugin itself is missing from dist/extensions/.

Expected Behavior

Feishu channel should work as documented in /channels/feishu.md which states it is a "bundled plugin".

Actual Behavior

$ openclaw plugins list | grep feishu
(no output - feishu plugin not found)

$ ls dist/extensions/ | grep feishu
(no output)

$ openclaw gateway status
⚠️ plugins.entries.feishu: plugin not found: feishu (stale config entry ignored)

Feishu messages are silently dropped because there is no plugin to handle them.

Root Cause Analysis

Based on the 2026.5.3 CHANGELOG:

  1. Plugin externalization change: "Plugins/install: harden official plugin install... so externalized plugins behave like first-class package installs"
  2. Over-cleanup during upgrade: "Doctor/plugins: remove orphaned or recovered managed npm copies of bundled @openclaw/* plugins"

It appears the Feishu plugin was incorrectly classified as "orphaned" and removed during the plugin externalization migration.

Evidence

  • Config preserved: channels.feishu with appId + appSecret intact
  • Docs still say bundled: /docs/channels/feishu.md states "Feishu/Lark bot via WebSocket (bundled plugin)"
  • CHANGELOG mentions Feishu: "tighten Telegram, Feishu, Matrix, Microsoft Teams, and Slack delivery/recovery behavior" — shows Feishu is still actively maintained

Environment

ItemValue
OpenClaw Version2026.5.3-1 (2eae30e)
PlatformLinux arm64 (DGX Spark)
Node.jsv22.22.2

Workaround

No workaround available. Feishu channel is completely non-functional until the plugin is restored.

Proposed Fix

  1. Restore the Feishu plugin to the stock plugins list
  2. Ensure the plugin externalization migration script does not remove active channel plugins
  3. Update docs if Feishu is now external (but this contradicts the CHANGELOG mentioning Feishu as maintained)
