Summary

openclaw status (fast) shows an empty Channels table. The same channel appears correctly in openclaw status --deep. Channel functionality (Telegram send/receive) works normally.

Steps to reproduce

  1. Configure Telegram channel
  2. Run openclaw status
  3. Observe Channels table is empty
  4. Run openclaw status --deep
  5. Observe Telegram ON / OK

Expected behavior

openclaw status should show configured channels without requiring --deep.

Actual behavior

Fast status Channels table is empty. --deep shows the channel correctly.

TL;DR

The issue can likely be resolved by modifying the openclaw status command to include the --deep flag to ensure all channels are displayed.

Guidance

  • Verify that the channel is correctly configured by running openclaw status --deep and checking that the channel appears in the output.
  • Compare the output of openclaw status and openclaw status --deep to identify any differences in how channels are displayed.
  • Check the OpenClaw documentation to see if there are any known issues or limitations with the openclaw status command that may be causing the empty Channels table.
  • Consider modifying the script or command that runs openclaw status to include the --deep flag by default.

Example

No code example is provided as the issue does not include sufficient information about the underlying code or implementation.

Notes

The issue may be specific to the 2026.4.29 version of OpenClaw, and upgrading to a later version may resolve the issue. However, without further information, it is unclear what changes would be required to fix the issue.

Recommendation

Apply workaround: include the --deep flag when running openclaw status to ensure all channels are displayed. This is a temporary solution until the underlying issue can be resolved.
