feature request/help: allow discord bot IDs

Feature Request / Bug: Discord

allowBotIds

allowBotIds

config not implemented

Summary

The Discord monitor has a hard-coded bot rejection that ignores the

allowBotIds

allowBotIds

config option, making agent-to-agent communication impossible on Discord.

Expected Behavior

When

discord.allowBotIds

discord.allowBotIds

is configured with specific bot IDs, messages from those bots should trigger the auto-reply handler (similar to how Slack's

allowBots

allowBots

works).

Example config:

{
  "discord": {
    "allowBotIds": ["1346066378905485323", "1464527009941160120"]
  },
  "routing": {
    "agentToAgent": {

{
  "discord": {
    "allowBotIds": ["1346066378905485323", "1464527009941160120"]
  },
  "routing": {
    "agentToAgent": {

      "enabled": true,
      "allow": ["1346066378905485323", "1464527009941160120"]
    }
  }
}

      "enabled": true,
      "allow": ["1346066378905485323", "1464527009941160120"]
    }
  }
}

Actual Behavior

All bot messages are rejected regardless of config. The allowlisted bots cannot wake/trigger Clawdbot.

Root Cause

dist/discord/monitor.js

dist/discord/monitor.js

around line 288:

const author = data.author;

const author = data.author;

if (!author || author.bot)
    return;  // <-- Hard-coded early return, no allowlist check

if (!author || author.bot)
    return;  // <-- Hard-coded early return, no allowlist check

This check happens before any config is consulted. The

allowBotIds

allowBotIds

field isn't in the Zod schema (

DiscordAccountSchema

DiscordAccountSchema

at line 216) and isn't referenced anywhere in the Discord monitor code.

Comparison: Slack Implementation (Working)

Slack has proper bot allowlist handling in

dist/slack/monitor.js

dist/slack/monitor.js

const allowBots = channelConfig?.allowBots ??
    account.config?.allowBots ??
    cfg.slack?.allowBots ??
    false;

const allowBots = channelConfig?.allowBots ??
    account.config?.allowBots ??
    cfg.slack?.allowBots ??
    false;

if (message.bot_id && !isSelf) {
    if (!allowBots) {
        logVerbose(`slack: drop bot message ${message.bot_id} (allowBots=false)`);
        return;
    }
}

if (message.bot_id && !isSelf) {
    if (!allowBots) {
        logVerbose(`slack: drop bot message ${message.bot_id} (allowBots=false)`);
        return;
    }
}
