Description
After applying the nemoclaw-discord-fix workaround for #1570 and #1738, the Discord bot successfully connects and works in server channels via @mention. However, DM
conversations require pairing approval, and the pairing state is not persisted across gateway restarts.
When the gateway is restarted (e.g., to apply the discord-proxy-fix), previously approved DM pairings are lost. The bot receives inbound DMs (shows "typing..." indicator)
but does not reply — not even with a new pairing code prompt. The user has no way to re-initiate pairing from DM.
Server channel @mention works correctly without pairing, confirming that inference, Discord REST API delivery, and the proxy-fix token resolution all function properly.
Reproduction Steps
- Run nemoclaw onboard with Discord channel enabled
- Apply nemoclaw-discord-fix workaround (start-discord.sh)
- Send DM to bot — bot replies with pairing code
- Approve pairing: openclaw pairing approve discord
- Restart gateway (e.g., kill + start-discord.sh again)
- Send DM to bot — bot shows "typing..." but never replies
- Server channel @mention still works correctly after same restart
