Bug type

Behavior bug (incorrect output/state without crash)

Summary

Delivery of cron jobs into Discord cause the same briefings to be sent more than once. I added a message key and also advanced options for the cron configuration but still occurs.

Steps to reproduce

1. Configure a cron to delivery to a discord channel
2. Cron job runs.

Expected behavior

A cron job should run a deliver into discord an deliver only once.

Actual behavior

Any message delivery to discord for CRON only deliveries appears to output more than once. If I interact with my assistant regularly in discord this does not happen in duplicate.

OpenClaw version

2026.2.26

Operating system

Ubuntu 24.04

Install method

npm global

Impact and severity

Affected: Discord Cron Delivery
Severity: LOW - its annoying
Frequency: This is happening on all my cron deliveries to Discord
Consequence: Assuming there is some very minor cost to redeliver
Releases: Observed on multiple releases from 2026.2.24 onwards - currently I am on latest 2026.2.26

Additional information

I recently added discord as a channel method for delivery and workflows outside of telegram. I updated a few times in the last week and now on latest release: 2026.2.26. I am not sure if this is a regression or a behavior bug since the discord config was a new add.

I added this into my prompt for the cron and still occurs:

DISCORD OUTPUT Return only a short digest. Rules: Maximum 14 lines. First line: one sentence market snapshot. Then 5–8 bullet points with the most important companies or themes. Use "-" for bullets. Do not include emojis, titles, or headers. Do not output the full report. Include this run marker line near the end for dedupe: run-key: daily-YYYY-MM-DD Final line must be exactly: Full report: /home/xathras1982/.openclaw/workspace/obsidian/daily/stock-briefing-YYYY-MM-DD.md

ERROR HANDLING If the file write fails: Return one line explaining the error.

Still provide the summary. Still include the final file path line.

Important: Do not call message.send directly. Delivery is handled by cron announce.
