Root Cause

Root Cause The Telegram ingress runner groups and isolates concurrency lanes by chatId. Because all topics inside a single group chat share the same underlying chatId, they are forced into the same sequential queue.

Describe the bug When multiple topics within the same Telegram group chat receive messages or commands, OpenClaw processes them sequentially rather than concurrently. If a user triggers a long-running turn in Topic A, any subsequent messages or slash commands (like /new) sent to Topic B will hang until Topic A finishes its turn.

Root Cause The Telegram ingress runner groups and isolates concurrency lanes by chatId. Because all topics inside a single group chat share the same underlying chatId, they are forced into the same sequential queue.

Expected behavior Concurrency lanes for Telegram updates should be isolated by chatId:message_thread_id (Topic ID) whenever applicable. This would allow separate topics within the same group chat to process agent turns in parallel without blocking one another.
