Summary

Bug Description

Two UI issues in the Webchat Control UI that significantly impact user experience:

Issue 1: Conversation Info Metadata Visible

• Problem: Every user message displays a "Conversation info (untrusted metadata)" box above it
• Expected: This metadata should be internal-only and not visible in the chat UI
• Impact: Clutters the conversation interface

Issue 2: Auto-scroll Not Working

• Problem: After AI replies, the view jumps back to the previous message instead of scrolling to the latest message
• Expected: New messages should automatically scroll into view
• Impact: User must manually click "New messages" button to see latest replies

Steps to Reproduce

1. Open Webchat Control UI
2. Start a conversation
3. Observe:
   • Conversation info boxes appear above each message
   • After AI replies, view doesn't auto-scroll to bottom

Environment

• OpenClaw Version: 2026.2.17
• Client: Webchat Control UI
• Browser: Chrome
• OS: Linux 6.17.0-14-generic
• Node: v22.22.0

Screenshots

Additional Context

• The conversation info metadata appears to be from buildInboundUserContextPrefix() function
• Code location: dist/reply-oSe13ewW.js (and similar files)
• This metadata should be for internal AI context, not user-visible

Expected Behavior

1. Hide "Conversation info" metadata from user-facing UI
2. Fix auto-scroll to automatically show new messages at the bottom
3. Optionally add a config option to toggle metadata visibility for debugging

Priority

🔴 High - These issues significantly impact daily usability of the Control UI
