Bug type

Regression (worked before, now fails)

Summary

After upgrading to 2026.3.8, text commands (/stop, /new, /status) on Feishu no longer execute immediately when an agent run is active. They are queued behind the current run and only execute after it completes. This worked correctly on 3.7 and earlier versions.

Discord native commands are unaffected and still respond instantly.

Steps to reproduce

1. Start a complex multi-step task via Feishu DM (e.g. a task involving multiple tool calls)
2. While the agent is processing, send /stop or /status or /new in the same Feishu DM
3. Observe that the command is not executed until the current agent run finishes

Expected behavior

Per the docs ("Fast path: command-only messages from allowlisted senders are handled immediately (bypass queue + model)"), these command-only messages should bypass the queue and execute immediately, even during an active agent run.

Actual behavior

Commands are queued behind the active run. /stop in particular becomes useless since you can't abort a long-running task until it finishes on its own.

OpenClaw version

2026.3.8 (3caab92)

Operating system

macOS 26.3.1

Install method

npm global

Model

claude-opus-4.6

Provider / routing chain

N/A — not provider-related. Feishu websocket → OpenClaw gateway (local) → agent session. Bug is in command queue fast-path, not model routing.

Config file / key location

~/.openclaw/openclaw.json ; channels.feishu.connectionMode="websocket" ; messages.queue (default, no override)

Additional provider/model setup details

Not provider-related. This is a message queue / command fast-path issue.
Default model: claude-opus-4.6
Feishu channel: websocket mode, text commands only (no native command support)

Logs, screenshots, and evidence

2026-03-11T03:40:16.066Z warn diagnostic lane wait exceeded: lane=session:agent:main:main waitedMs=36069 queueAhead=0
2026-03-11T03:40:16.897Z warn [EventQueue] Slow listener detected: InteractionEventListener took 55731ms for event INTERACTION_CREATE

The `InteractionEventListener` is blocked for 55+ seconds, suggesting the Feishu event processing pipeline itself is blocked by the active agent run, preventing the fast path from being reached.

Impact and severity

Affected: Feishu DM users on v2026.3.8
Severity: High (blocks workflow — cannot abort long-running agent tasks)
Frequency: 100% repro when agent run is active
Consequence: /stop, /new, /status commands are effectively unusable during active runs. Users must wait for full completion or switch to Discord to issue control commands.

Additional information

Last known good version: 2026.3.7
First known bad version: 2026.3.8 (upgraded 2026-03-09)
Temporary workaround: Use Discord native /stop command to abort active runs
Related: #12141 (similar symptom but reported as long-standing; this is a 3.8 regression)
Note: Feishu has no native command support, so all commands go through text parsing. The documented "Fast path" for command-only messages appears to no longer work on Feishu after 3.8.
