OpenClaw Docker users: Pin to commit 0c926a2c5 to fix broken Discord and channel extensions

The Problem

If you're running OpenClaw via Docker (docker build -t openclaw:local) and your Discord, Signal, WhatsApp, or other channel extensions stopped working after updating, you're not alone. After pulling the latest main and rebuilding, all channel extensions fail with the error: Error: Cannot find module '../../../src/infra/outbound/send-deps.js'.

This is caused by commit d9c285e93 ("Fix configure startup stalls from outbound send-deps imports") which reintroduced a broken relative import into channel.ts. Docker multi-stage builds only ship the dist/ directory, so any ../../../src/ imports break at runtime.

There's also a second issue (GitHub #48422) where dist/plugins/runtime/index.js is missing from Docker builds, breaking Discord and WhatsApp even if you patch around the send-deps error.

The Fix (for now)

We traced through the git history and found a stable commit you can pin to: 0c926a2c5 — "fix(mattermost): carry thread context to non-inbound reply paths (#44283)". This is version 2026.3.14 and is the last commit before the Discord extension refactor chain started. All channel extensions work correctly at this commit on Docker.

To pin to it:

cd ~/your-openclaw-repo
git fetch origin
git checkout 0c926a2c5
docker build --no-cache -t openclaw:local
docker compose up -d

Important: Don't go to commit 439c21e07 even though that one looks clean in the refactor, it has a different missing module error (deliver.js). The safe boundary is 0c926a2c5.

What's Broken Upstream

• Issue #46609 - send-deps.js import breaks all 10 channel extensions on Docker
• PR #46944 - fix proposed but NOT merged yet
• Issue #48422 - second Docker-only bug: missing dist/plugins/runtime/index.js (filed March 16, no fix PR yet)
• Latest release is v2026.3.13-1 (March 14) - no new release includes either fix

Heads Up

After a rebuild you'll likely need to re-approve Discord pairing: openclaw pairing approve discord

Also if you have custom volume mounts in your docker-compose.yml, save a copy before pulling as git pull will conflict with your local changes.
