Behavior bug (incorrect output/state without crash)

No

Summary

My slack connection to my openclaw had been working fine for several days. Today at lunch, I tried to demo to some friends and it never answered. Later when back at my desk, I sent more slack messages, and it still didn't answer. OTOH chatting through the web interface worked fine. Somehow the connection with Slack just silently stopped working.

Steps to reproduce

1. Run openclaw
2. Connect slack
3. Verify it works by sending DMs directly to the Slack App
4. Wait a few days
5. Try sending DMs directly to the Slack App, or tag it in a channel.

Expected behavior

It should reply over slack.

Actual behavior

It does not reply over slack.

Impact and severity

Affected: Slack user
Severity: blocks workflow
Frequency: always (afaik)
Consequence: cannot use, since Slack is my only method of communication with the bot

Additional information

I haven't tried to fix it (eg, by restarting). If you give me hints on how to debug, I can upload any logs or dig into the root cause.
