Bug type

Behavior bug (incorrect output/state without crash)

Summary

Hi team, I’m seeing duplicate outgoing replies on Telegram.

Environment:

• OpenClaw version: 2026.3.2
• Channel: Telegram (direct chat)

Issue:

• Each user message produces 2 assistant replies with identical content.
• One duplicate disappears later (looks like client-side/server dedup), but both are initially delivered.

What I already checked:

• Only one active agent session
• Telegram webhook reset (deleteWebhook?drop_pending_updates=true)
• Bot token regenerated and updated in config
• No duplicate OpenClaw processes (no docker/tmux/screen/background duplicates)
• Still reproducible after updating to 2026.3.2

If useful, I can provide logs and exact startup command.

Steps to reproduce

It happens for all message exchanges with the bot on telegram.

Expected behavior

• One user message -> one assistant reply

Actual behavior

• One user message -> two identical assistant replies
