Discord Bot Can Send Messages But Cannot Receive Any Messages

Environment:
- Clawdbot version: 2026.1.24-3
- OS: macOS 26.2 (arm64)
- Node: v25.4.0
- Install method: npm (global)

Problem:
Discord bot logs in successfully and can send messages, but it cannot receive any user messages (MESSAGE_CREATE events). Slash commands (/) work fine.

It was working yesterday, stopped working today. No config changes were made.

What I've verified:
-

Bot logs in successfully (logs show

logged in to discord as xxx

logged in to discord as xxx

)
-

Bot is in the correct server (confirmed via API query)
-

Bot can access the channel (API returns channel info)
-

Bot can send messages (tested with curl - success)
-

Slash commands work (/approve responds)
-

Message Content Intent enabled in Developer Portal
-

Server Members Intent enabled
-

Presence Intent enabled
-

Bot has Administrator permission
-

Regular messages not received at all (no Discord inbound message in logs)

Troubleshooting steps taken:
1. Restarted Gateway - didn't help
2. Created a brand new Bot - same issue
3. Reset Bot Token - didn't help
4. Toggled Message Content Intent off/on - didn't help
5. Re-invited Bot to server - didn't help
6. Gave Bot Administrator permission - didn't help
