After upgrading to OpenClaw v2026.2.9, a cron job configured with delivery.mode="announce" to a Telegram forum topic started delivering only an announcement/summary (not the full report output) and also produced extra relay/noise to the main DM session.

Downgrading to v2026.2.6 restores correct behavior.

Steps to reproduce

1. Upgrade OpenClaw to v2026.2.9.

2. Create/run an isolated cron job that generates a multi-line report (e.g. a daily report script) with: • sessionTarget: isolated
   • delivery.mode: "announce"
   • delivery.channel: "telegram"
   • delivery.to: -1003837362423:topic:85 (Telegram forum topic)

3. Trigger the cron run and observe the delivered Telegram message.
   Expected behavior

Telegram topic receives the full multi-line report output (verbatim / no summarization), and only one delivery (no extra DM relay/noise).

Actual behavior

Telegram topic receives only a short announcement/summary (e.g. “report generated…” with brief explanation) instead of the full report, and an additional relay/noise appears in the main DM session.

Environment

• OpenClaw version: v2026.2.9 (problem) / v2026.2.6 (works)
• OS: Linux (VPS)
• Install method (pnpm/npx/docker/etc): installer script (curl -fsSL https://openclaw.ai/install.sh | bash) → ends up as npm global install
