I build version OpenClaw 2026.4.26 (5ccf179) from dev channel. when I try to verify matrix channel this error happens: Self-verification failed: the signing key is missing from the object that signed the message.

Everything goes ok and the other side(other verifier client) says verification is successfull, but openclaw outputs this error.

extent analysis

TL;DR

The issue can likely be resolved by ensuring the signing key is properly configured and included in the object that signed the message during the self-verification process of OpenClaw.

Guidance

  • Review the configuration and setup of OpenClaw, especially the steps involved in adding a matrix channel and the self-verification process, to identify where the signing key might be missing or misconfigured.
  • Check the documentation or support resources for OpenClaw to understand how the signing key should be properly included in the object that signed the message.
  • Verify that the matrix official server setup and the other verifier client are correctly configured and compatible with the version of OpenClaw being used (2026.4.26).
  • Consider testing the verification process with a different setup or version to isolate if the issue is specific to the current configuration or a broader problem.

Example

No specific code snippet can be provided without more details on the configuration files or code used by OpenClaw for self-verification.

Notes

The provided information lacks specific details about the configuration and setup of OpenClaw and the matrix server, which are crucial for pinpointing the exact cause and solution. The issue might be related to a misconfiguration or a version-specific bug in OpenClaw.

Recommendation

Apply workaround: Given the lack of information about a fixed version or a clear path to resolve the signing key issue directly, the best course of action is to apply a workaround, such as reconfiguring the signing key setup or using a different verification method if available, until more detailed guidance or a fix can be provided.
