openclaw - 💡(How to fix) Fix Critical Regression: Direct Command Routing remains broken in v2026.5.5 (#77384 persists) [4 comments, 3 participants]

Fix / Workaround

Description\nDespite the release of v2026.5.5, the critical regression first reported in #77384 (where custom commands in the routing layer are not intercepted) remains unresolved.\n\n### Current Findings\n- Version Tested: v2026.5.5\n- Status: The routing layer continues to bypass local handlers and sends all slash commands (e.g., , ) directly to the LLM.\n- Impact: Breaks all direct-execution plugins and local automation triggers. Users must downgrade to v2026.4.23 to maintain functionality.\n\n### Comparison\n- v2026.4.23: Intercepts command -> Executes local script -> Returns NO_REPLY (Perfect).\n- v2026.5.x: Ignores command -> Sends to LLM -> LLM hallucinates or explains it can't run local scripts.\n\nRe-opening this as a new tracking issue since #77384 was closed without a functional fix for this pattern.
