Bug: Discord embedded runs not delivering responses
Environment:
OpenClaw 2026.2.13
macOS 25.2.0
6 Discord bots configured
Steps to reproduce:
Configure a Discord bot with a server and channel
Send a DM or channel message to the bot
Bot receives message (logs show "embedded run start" with messageChannel=discord)
Agent processes message successfully
Run completes ("embedded run done")
No response sent back to Discord
What we tried:
Added "": { "enabled": true } to channels config — didn't fix it
Different models (Opus, MiniMax) — same issue
The issue happens only in channel messages, but not DMs
Root causes observed:
Messages route to agent:blitz:main session instead of channel-specific session
Embedded runs in main session have no Discord delivery context
No outbound Discord messages logged at all
DiscordMessageListener is extremely slow (42-210 seconds per message)
Config used:
"discord": {
"enabled": true,
"allowBots": true,
"groupPolicy": "allowlist",
"guilds": {
"SERVER_ID": {
"channels": {
"CHANNEL_ID": { "enabled": true },
"": { "enabled": true }
}
}
},
"accounts": {
"blitz": {
"requireMention": false,
"groupPolicy": "open"
}
}
}
Expected: Bot should respond in the same channel/DM where the message was received.
