Error Message

Bug Description

In Telegram groups with requireMention: true, when the bot is mentioned it processes the message and generates a response, but the response is not delivered to the group. The Telegram client shows a "version not compatible" error message instead.

However, sending messages directly via /send <chat_id> <message> works correctly.

Environment

  • OpenClaw version: 2026.4.27
  • Channel: Telegram
  • Polling mode

Steps to Reproduce

  1. Add bot to a private Telegram group
  2. Configure the group with requireMention: true
  3. Send a message mentioning the bot (@botusername)
  4. Bot processes the message (visible in logs) but the response is not delivered
  5. Error shown in Telegram: "This message is not compatible with your Telegram version"

Expected Behavior

Bot should deliver the generated response to the group normally, as it does when using /send with the same chat_id.
