Discord messages from Clawdbot are being sent strangely
I managed to set up Clawdbot with my Discord bot, using a self-hosted LLM (gpt-oss-20b) but the messages are being sent in a weird format. Examples of the exact responses below:
<|channel|>final <|constrain|>response to=functions.message <|constrain|>json<|message|>{"action":"send","channel":"discord","target":"580312982442082307","message":"Sure, go ahead!"}
<|channel|>final <|constrain|>response to=functions.message <|constrain|>json<|message|>{"action":"send","channel":"discord","target":"580312982442082307","message":"I just sent a reply saying βSure, go ahead!β to let you know Iβm listening."}
