Anyone else experiencing the bug where, after compaction, subsequent messages dont get through to the AI unless a gateway restart is inititated? Running on Docker VPS. Thanks

That sounds like the session/run is getting “stuck” right after a compaction write (or the webchat UI thinks a run is still in-flight), so new turns never start until the gateway process resets state.

A few quick questions + things to grab (these make it actionable fast):

  1. Version + where compaction is happening
  • openclaw --version
  • Is this auto-compaction or you clicking a manual compact button in the Dashboard webchat?
  1. Is it only Dashboard Webchat, or all channels?
  • After it “breaks”, do messages from Discord/Telegram/etc still get replies?
    • If other channels still work: likely Dashboard/websocket state (try a hard refresh / reconnect).
    • If nothing works: likely gateway/session runner stuck.
  1. Run the standard triage while it’s broken (inside the docker container if that’s where the CLI is):
  • openclaw status
  • openclaw gateway status
  • openclaw logs --follow (or grab docker logs <container> --since 10m)
