Bug report
Internal assistant/planning text is being delivered to end users in chat, even when verbose mode is disabled.
What happened
A user received internal-looking messages such as:
Need commit push.
Need transcribe and reply likely content.
These lines look like internal planning/checklist text and should never be user-visible in normal chat output.
Expected behavior
- With
/verbose off, only user-facing assistant responses should be sent.
- Internal planning/tool orchestration text should remain private.
Actual behavior
- Internal text appeared as normal bot messages in Telegram chat.
Environment
- OpenClaw: 2026.3.13
- Channel: Telegram
- Runtime observed from OpenClaw agent flow in direct chat
Repro hints
- Keep
/verbose off and /reasoning off.
- Perform multi-step/tool-heavy actions (edits/commits/transcription, etc.).
- Occasionally internal checklist/planning text is sent to user.
Impact
- Privacy/UX issue: internal operational text leaks into user-visible conversation.
- Confusing and reduces trust.
If useful, I can provide additional timestamps / sanitized excerpts.
