When the Discord health monitor restarts the provider after a stale socket, the gateway logs show a successful reconnect, but sessions_list does not show any Discord sessions afterward. This makes heartbeat/session-based connectivity checks report Discord as missing even though openclaw status shows the Discord channel as OK.

Summary

When the Discord health monitor restarts the provider after a stale socket, the gateway logs show a successful reconnect, but sessions_list does not show any Discord sessions afterward. This makes heartbeat/session-based connectivity checks report Discord as missing even though openclaw status shows the Discord channel as OK.

Evidence

  • openclaw status shows Discord ON / OK and gateway running normally.
  • Log file shows automatic restart and successful login:
    • health-monitor: restarting (reason: stale-socket)
    • starting provider (@Asher AI)
    • logged in to discord as ... (Asher AI)
  • Immediately after reconnect, sessions_list only returned the exec-event heartbeat session and no Discord session entries.

Expected

Either:

  1. Discord sessions should be recreated/reflected in sessions_list after provider reconnect, or
  2. Docs/status guidance should stop implying that sessions_list is a reliable signal for Discord connection health.

Why it matters

Current heartbeat guidance that checks Discord presence via sessions_list can produce false alarms or unnecessary gateway restarts.

Environment

  • OpenClaw status channel: stable
  • App versions observed: gateway/app 2026.4.15, update available to 2026.4.21
  • Host: macOS

Suggested direction

Clarify the lifecycle contract between channel provider reconnects and session materialization, and align health-check recommendations with whichever signal is authoritative.,

extent analysis

TL;DR

The Discord sessions may not be properly recreated after a provider reconnect, causing sessions_list to not reflect the actual Discord connection health.

Guidance

  • Review the channel provider reconnect logic to ensure it correctly recreates or updates Discord sessions after a restart.
  • Verify the sessions_list implementation to confirm it accurately reflects the current state of Discord sessions.
  • Consider updating the health-check recommendations to use a more reliable signal for Discord connection health, such as the openclaw status output.
  • Investigate the possibility of updating to the latest available version (2026.4.21) to see if it resolves the issue.

Example

No specific code snippet can be provided without more context, but the reconnect logic and sessions_list implementation should be reviewed for potential issues.

Notes

The exact cause of the issue is unclear, and more investigation is needed to determine the root cause. The suggested direction is to clarify the lifecycle contract between channel provider reconnects and session materialization.

Recommendation

Apply workaround: Update health-check recommendations to use a more reliable signal for Discord connection health, such as the openclaw status output, until the root cause of the issue can be determined and fixed. This is because the current implementation of sessions_list may not accurately reflect the Discord connection health after a provider reconnect.
