After upgrading to v2026.4.1, the Discord provider fails to fully connect on the first startup attempt. It resolves channels but never reaches the "logged in" state. The health-monitor detects it as "disconnected" after ~5-7 minutes and restarts the provider. The second attempt succeeds (with "Carbon reconcile path" for native commands).

This did not occur on v2026.3.12.

Fix Action

Workaround

  • Wait ~7 min for health-monitor to auto-restart, OR
  • Ctrl+C and restart gateway manually

Summary

Environment

  • OpenClaw: v2026.4.1 (upgraded from v2026.3.12)
  • OS: Windows 11 Home (Build 26200) x64
  • Node: v25.8.0
  • Discord: 1 guild, 9 channels, groupPolicy: allowlist

Description

After upgrading to v2026.4.1, the Discord provider fails to fully connect on the first startup attempt. It resolves channels but never reaches the "logged in" state. The health-monitor detects it as "disconnected" after ~5-7 minutes and restarts the provider. The second attempt succeeds (with "Carbon reconcile path" for native commands).

This did not occur on v2026.3.12.

Startup Log Timeline

Steps to reproduce

  1. Upgrade OpenClaw from v2026.3.12 to v2026.4.1 on Windows 11.
  2. Start gateway via Task Scheduler or openclaw gateway start.
  3. Observe Discord provider: channels resolve but "logged in" never appears.
  4. Wait ~7 minutes for health-monitor to restart the provider.
  5. Second attempt succeeds with "Carbon reconcile path" log line.

Expected behavior

Expected Behavior

Discord provider should connect and reach "logged in" on the first startup attempt without requiring a health-monitor restart cycle.

Workaround

  • Wait ~7 min for health-monitor to auto-restart, OR
  • Ctrl+C and restart gateway manually

Additional Context

  • Task Scheduler runs gateway.cmd on logon
  • The terminal appears to hang after "starting provider" line (no new stdout until health-monitor kicks in)
  • Config: streaming: "off", commands.native: "auto"

Actual behavior

Discord provider resolves channels on first startup but never reaches "logged in" state. Terminal output appears to hang after "starting provider (@GYOZEN-AI)" line with no new output for ~7 minutes.

After health-monitor detects "disconnected" and restarts the provider, the second attempt succeeds — logging "native commands using Carbon reconcile path" followed by "logged in" and "awaiting gateway readiness".

Gateway log evidence (timestamps in UTC+7):

  • 23:39:47 — [discord] starting provider (@GYOZEN-AI)
  • 23:39:51 — [discord] channels resolved (9 channels)
  • (no "logged in" — 7 min gap)
  • 23:46:20 — [health-monitor] restarting (reason: disconnected)
  • 23:46:27 — [discord] logged in ✅ (2nd attempt works)

This did not occur on v2026.3.12. The issue is reproducible on every cold start.

extent analysis

TL;DR

The Discord provider in OpenClaw v2026.4.1 may require a manual restart or waiting for the health-monitor to restart it after 7 minutes to successfully connect and reach the "logged in" state on the first startup attempt.

Guidance

  • Verify that the issue is specific to the upgrade from v2026.3.12 to v2026.4.1 by checking if downgrading back to v2026.3.12 resolves the problem.
  • Check the Discord provider configuration and settings to ensure there are no changes or updates that could be causing the connection issue.
  • Investigate the "Carbon reconcile path" log line that appears on the second successful attempt to understand its role in the connection process.
  • Consider adding additional logging or debugging statements to the Discord provider code to gain more insight into the connection process and why it fails on the first attempt.

Example

No specific code example can be provided without more information about the OpenClaw or Discord provider codebase.

Notes

The exact cause of the issue is unclear, but it appears to be related to the upgrade from v2026.3.12 to v2026.4.1. Further investigation into the changes between these versions may be necessary to identify the root cause.

Recommendation

Apply the workaround of waiting for the health-monitor to restart the Discord provider or manually restarting it after 7 minutes, as there is no clear fix available based on the provided information.
