Description

@slockers37

Summary

I updated clawdbot and now when I message it, it sends the reply to itself. I'm using a separate number for the bot.

Steps to reproduce

  1. Message the bot
  2. No reply on the sender's number
  3. Reply sent to bot's number

Expected behavior

Reply should come back to sender

Actual behavior

Reply sent by bot to itself

Environment

  • Clawdbot version: 2026.1.14
  • OS: Linux
  • Install method (pnpm/npx/docker/etc): docker
