After upgrading to OpenClaw 2026.4.1, the /new (session reset) command no longer sends any confirmation message on the Feishu channel. In previous versions, while there was no interactive confirmation dialog, the bot would reply with a short message indicating that a new session had been started (e.g., "new session started" or a brief hello).

Description

After upgrading to OpenClaw 2026.4.1, the /new (session reset) command no longer sends any confirmation message on the Feishu channel. In previous versions, while there was no interactive confirmation dialog, the bot would reply with a short message indicating that a new session had been started (e.g., "new session started" or a brief hello).

Current Behavior

  • User sends /new
  • Session is silently reset
  • No message is sent back to the user

Expected Behavior

  • User sends /new
  • Session is reset
  • Bot replies with a short confirmation message (as it did in previous versions)

According to the docs (docs/start/openclaw.md): "If sent alone, the agent replies with a short hello to confirm the reset." — but this no longer happens.

Environment

  • OpenClaw version: 2026.4.1 (da64a97)
  • Channel: Feishu (Lark)
  • Session scope: per-channel-peer (DM)
  • OS: macOS (arm64)

Steps to Reproduce

  1. Open a Feishu DM with the bot
  2. Send /new
  3. Observe: no reply message is received
  4. Session is reset silently (confirmed by checking context)

extent analysis

TL;DR

The issue can likely be resolved by checking the OpenClaw configuration for any changes related to the /new command's response behavior in version 2026.4.1.

Guidance

  • Review the OpenClaw documentation (docs/start/openclaw.md) for any updates or changes to the /new command's behavior in version 2026.4.1.
  • Verify that the Feishu channel configuration has not been modified, which could be affecting the bot's ability to send reply messages.
  • Check the bot's logs or debugging output to see if there are any errors or warnings related to sending messages after receiving the /new command.
  • Test the /new command in a different channel or environment to see if the issue is specific to the Feishu channel or the macOS (arm64) OS.

Notes

The issue may be related to a change in the OpenClaw version, and checking the documentation and configuration will help determine the cause. If the issue persists, further debugging or logging may be necessary to identify the root cause.

Recommendation

Apply workaround: Check the OpenClaw configuration and Feishu channel settings to ensure that the bot is properly configured to send reply messages after receiving the /new command. This is a safe and minimal approach to resolve the issue without upgrading or making significant changes.
