Bug
Verbose tool output messages (Read, Exec, etc.) are not delivered to Telegram forum topic sessions, even when verboseLevel is set to on or full. The same verbose output works correctly in Telegram DM sessions.
Environment
- OpenClaw: 2026.3.8
- Channel: Telegram (Bot API, long polling)
- Group type: Forum supergroup with topics
Reproduction
- Configure a Telegram forum group with topics in
openclaw.json:
{
channels: {
telegram: {
groups: {
"<group_id>": {
requireMention: false,
topics: {
"1": {},
"10": {}
}
}
}
}
}
}
- Send
/verbose on (or /v full) in a forum topic — confirmed via /status that verbose is active
- Send a message that triggers tool calls (e.g. "read today's memory notes")
- Tool calls execute successfully (visible in session JSONL —
toolCall entries with read, exec, etc.)
- Only the final assistant reply is delivered to the topic — no verbose tool output messages appear
Expected
Verbose tool output messages should be sent to the forum topic, same as they are in DM sessions.
Observed
- Session state shows
verboseLevel: "on" (confirmed in sessions.json)
- Tool calls are recorded in the session JSONL (e.g.
read at 13:19:46)
- Gateway logs show only one
sendMessage to the group (the final reply) — no verbose messages sent
- No errors in logs — the verbose messages are simply not dispatched, not failing
- DM sessions on the same gateway instance deliver verbose messages correctly

Workaround
None currently — verbose output only works in DM sessions.

messagetool send path. Verbose output may use a different delivery path that still lacksmessage_thread_id/ topic routing.Workaround
None currently — verbose output only works in DM sessions.
