Streaming: messages appear then disappear, replaced by envelope icon (Telegram) #30971

Description

After updating to OpenClaw 2026.2.26, messages sent by the agent on Telegram now stream in real-time (new feature!), but some messages appear briefly and then disappear, being replaced by an envelope icon (📩).

Steps to Reproduce

  1. Update to OpenClaw 2026.2.26
  2. Have the agent send messages via Telegram channel
  3. Some messages — particularly those where the agent also uses the message tool in the same turn — appear momentarily, then vanish and are replaced by an envelope/mail icon

Expected Behavior

Messages should remain visible after streaming completes.

Observed Behavior

  • Message streams in (visible text appearing word by word)
  • Message disappears
  • Replaced by a small envelope icon
  • Also observed: NO_REPLY token leaks into streamed messages (the gateway doesn't filter it from the stream, only from complete messages)

Environment

  • OpenClaw version: 2026.2.26
  • Channel: Telegram
  • Previous version (2026.2.24): Messages arrived as complete blocks, no disappearing behavior
  • Streaming appears to be newly enabled in this version

Screenshots

Additional Context

The streaming feature itself is great — just needs the edge cases fixed around message finalization and NO_REPLY token filtering.
