Bug

Discord replies are silently dropped in 2026.2.23. The bot receives messages, the agent generates a response, but the reply never gets sent to Discord. No error in the logs.

Steps to reproduce

1. Update to openclaw@2026.2.23
2. Send a message in a Discord guild channel (allowlisted user, requireMention: false)
3. Agent processes the message and generates a response
4. Response is never delivered to Discord — no send log, no error

Evidence from logs

• embedded run start and embedded run done both fire (isError=false)
• Agent response is written to the session transcript (confirmed valid text output)
• Zero outbound Discord send entries in gateway.log or verbose log
• No errors logged during or after the run

Config

{
  "blockStreamingDefault": "on",
  "channels": {
    "discord": {
      "enabled": true,
      "groupPolicy": "allowlist",
      "streaming": "partial"
    }
  }
}

Also tested with streaming: "off" — same result.

Workaround

Rollback to 2026.2.22-2 restores Discord delivery immediately.

npm install -g openclaw@2026.2.22-2

Environment

• macOS (arm64, Darwin 25.3.0)
• Node v25.6.0
