`Environment:

• OpenClaw • Channel: Telegram • Chat type: group • Group id: -5141389644

Setup:

• Two agents in the same group: • Agent A id: "tomer" • Agent B id: "genadi"

Problem: Agent A cannot resolve Agent B's group sessionKey, while Agent B can resolve both A and B. This causes one-way agent-to-agent messaging failure.

Summary

`Environment:

• OpenClaw • Channel: Telegram • Chat type: group • Group id: -5141389644

Setup:

• Two agents in the same group: • Agent A id: "tomer" • Agent B id: "genadi"

Problem: Agent A cannot resolve Agent B's group sessionKey, while Agent B can resolve both A and B. This causes one-way agent-to-agent messaging failure.

Steps to reproduce

  1. Agent B runs sessions_list(limit=5,messageLimit=0) and gets:

• agent:genadi:telegram:group:-5141389644 • agent:tomer:telegram:group:-5141389644 • main • isolated

  1. Agent A runs sessions_list(limit=50,messageLimit=0), then checks for:

• agent:genadi:telegram:group:-5141389644 Result: target missing (MISSING_TARGET_IN_SENDER_VIEW)

  1. Agent A tries sessions_send to:

• sessionKey=agent:genadi:telegram:group:-5141389644 Result: • No session found: agent:genadi:telegram:group:-5141389644

Expected behavior

Both agents in the same Telegram group should see consistent agent:*:telegram:group:<id> keys and be able to sessions_send both directions.

Actual behavior

Actual: Visibility is asymmetric; send fails in one direction due to missing target in sender’s session index view.

Notes: • Both agents are alive and responsive in the group. • Reproducible across repeated attempts. • Looks like sender-side session index/visibility partition issue (not prompt formatting).`

Fix Plan

To resolve the one-way agent-to-agent messaging failure due to asymmetric session key visibility, we need to ensure that both agents can resolve each other's group session keys.

Here are the steps to fix the issue:

  • Update the sessions_list method to include a check for the existence of the session key in the sender's session index view.
  • If the session key is missing, update the sender's session index view to include the missing session key.
  • Use the updated sessions_list method to retrieve the list of sessions for both agents.

Example code snippet:

def sessions_list(limit, messageLimit):
    # Retrieve the list of sessions
    sessions = get_sessions(limit, messageLimit)
    
    # Check for missing session keys in the sender's session index view
    for session in sessions:
        if session.startswith("agent:") and session not in get_session_index_view():
            # Update the sender's session index view to include the missing session key
            update_session_index_view(session)
    
    return sessions

def update_session_index_view(session_key):
    # Update the sender's session index view to include the missing session key
    session_index_view = get_session_index_view()
    session_index_view.append(session_key)
    set_session_index_view(session_index_view)

def get_session_index_view():
    # Retrieve the sender's session index view
    # Implementation depends on the actual storage mechanism
    pass

def set_session_index_view(session_index_view):
    # Update the sender's session index view
    # Implementation depends on the actual storage mechanism
    pass

Verification

To verify that the fix worked, follow these steps:

  • Run sessions_list for both agents with the updated method.
  • Check that both agents can resolve each other's group session keys.
  • Test sending messages between the agents to ensure that the messaging failure is resolved.

Extra Tips

  • Ensure that the get_session_index_view and set_session_index_view methods are implemented correctly to retrieve and update the sender's session index view.
  • Consider adding logging or monitoring to detect and report any future instances of asymmetric session key visibility.
