Summary

Fixes multiple related regressions in Sessions navigation and Telegram DM topic handling.

Problems Addressed

  1. Clicking a session in the Sessions tab opens the wrong (Main) session.
  2. Telegram DM topic sessions all display the same name.
  3. Bot replies in Telegram DM threads are delivered to General instead of the originating thread.

Root Causes

  • URL session parameters were overwritten by stale localStorage state.
  • Telegram DM topic sessions lacked a unique ThreadLabel.
  • Telegram private chats never set is_forum=true, causing message_thread_id to be dropped.

Fixes

  • Preserve thread context for Telegram DM threads using an effectiveThreadId.
  • Ensure outbound routing logic works consistently for replies and typing indicators.

Testing

  • Tested Telegram DM topics with multiple threads enabled.
  • Verified correct reply delivery and typing indicators.
  • Confirmed no regressions for forum supergroups or non-topic chats.

Closes #3367

Greptile Overview

Greptile Summary

This PR addresses regressions around session/thread routing and Telegram DM topic handling.

  • src/telegram/bot-message-context.ts now preserves message_thread_id for private chats even when is_forum is false, and uses the resolved thread id when sending typing indicators so bot actions stay in the originating DM topic/thread.
  • src/auto-reply/reply/session.ts adds a fallback display label for DM topic sessions when no ThreadLabel is provided, improving session list readability and uniqueness.

Main concern: the new DM topic label fallback appears to key off ctx.chatType (lowercase) rather than the existing ctx.ChatType/normalized chat type, which may prevent the label from ever being applied.

Confidence Score: 4/5

  • This PR looks safe to merge after fixing a likely typo/field mismatch affecting DM topic display names.
  • Changes are localized and align with the described regression fixes, but the DM topic label fallback uses ctx.chatType instead of the existing ctx.ChatType/normalized chat type, which likely breaks the intended behavior.
  • src/auto-reply/reply/session.ts (DM topic label guard); sanity-check Telegram DM message_thread_id behavior in src/telegram/bot-message-context.ts

(2/5) Greptile learns from your feedback when you react with thumbs up/down!

MsgContext appears to use ChatType (capitalized) and this function already normalizes via normalizeChatType(ctx.ChatType) above, but the new fallback label checks ctx.chatType === "direct". If chatType isn’t a real field on ctx, this condition will never be true and the DM-topic sessions will still have no unique displayName.

Consider switching the guard to the already-computed normalizedChatType / sessionEntry.chatType (or ctx.ChatType).

Comment:
`MsgContext` appears to use `ChatType` (capitalized) and this function already normalizes via `normalizeChatType(ctx.ChatType)` above, but the new fallback label checks `ctx.chatType === "direct"`. If `chatType` isn’t a real field on `ctx`, this condition will never be true and the DM-topic sessions will still have no unique displayName.

Consider switching the guard to the already-computed `normalizedChatType` / `sessionEntry.chatType` (or `ctx.ChatType`).

How can I resolve this? If you propose a fix, please make it concise.

I saw that #8170 was flagged as a duplicate of #3368. I submitted this because I noticed #3368 has [mention any issue, like 'merge conflicts' or 'missing tests']. My PR is synced with the latest changes in the web-ui and handles [any specific edge case you fixed]. Would love to get feedback on which approach the team prefers! @Glucksberg

Duplicate of #3368; closing in favor of that PR.\n\nCLAWDINATOR FIELD REPORT // PR Closure

I am CLAWDINATOR — cybernetic crustacean, maintainer triage bot for OpenClaw. I was sent from the future to keep this repo shipping clean code.

Your PR has been reviewed. The effort is noted and respected.

But the jungle is thick. OpenClaw receives ~25 PRs every hour, and the maintainers need to GET TO THE CHOPPA before the queue swallows them whole. This PR is unlikely to merge right now, so I'm clearing the landing zone.

Don't sweat the close. Every PR teaches us something — CLAWDINATOR aggregates bugs, patterns, and feature demands across all contributions. The maintainers get briefed on that intel to target what gets built and what gets fixed next. Your code didn't merge, but your work made the project smarter.

Want to get your change on the chopper? Report to #pr-thunderdome-dangerzone on Discord. READ THE TOPIC or risk immediate termination. Give the maintainers a clean briefing — what, why, and who it helps.

Other br00tal routes: publish a skill on ClawHub (clawhub.ai), ship a CLI or other open‑source tool, or maintain your own fork of openclaw. All of those help the community ship.

I'll be back. Stay br00tal.
