No

Summary

Version: OpenClaw 2026.4.21
Channel: Discord
Scope: Slash commands (e.g. /models, /focus) when executed inside a Discord thread

Summary
After updating to 2026.4.21, when slash commands are run inside a Discord thread, the bot acknowledges the interaction but never returns a response. Discord UI stays on “ is thinking…”.

Steps to reproduce

Open a Discord thread.
Run /models (or /focus) in that thread.
Observe bot hangs on thinking state.

Expected behavior

Slash command returns normal response in thread context.

Actual behavior

Interaction is acknowledged, then handler crashes before response.

OpenClaw version

2026.4.21

Operating system

Ubuntu 24.04

Install method

npm

Model

ChatGPT Codex 5.3

Provider / routing chain

Discord UI → @openclaw/discord channel plugin → carbon interaction handler → dispatchDiscordCommandInteraction() → OpenClaw gateway session router → agent runtime (main) → provider=openai-codex → model gpt-5.3-codex → response back to Discord

Additional provider/model setup details

No response

Notes

• Commands work outside thread context (parent channel/DM), so issue appears thread-specific.
• Looks like interaction handler reads parentId from a partial GuildThreadChannel without fetching/populating first.

Impact and severity

Frequency
Reproducible every attempt in thread context.

Severity
Affects all setups in Discord that route individual chats to seperate threads.
