# 1. Is the bot actually running?

# 2. Check for 408 timeout drops (WhatsApp web disconnects frequently)
grep -i "408\|499\|retry" ~/.openclaw/logs/gateway.err.log | tail -10
# If you see "Web connection closed (status 408). Retry 1/12" — this is normal,
# it auto-recovers. But if retries reach 12/12, the session dropped completely.
 
# 3. Check for cross-context messaging blocks
grep -i "cross-context.*denied" ~/.openclaw/logs/gateway.err.log | tail -10
# Common: "Cross-context messaging denied: action=send target provider "whatsapp" while bound to "signal""
# This means the agent was in a Signal session and tried to reply on WhatsApp.
# FIX: The message needs to come through in the WhatsApp session context, not Signal.
 
# 4. Check the session exists for that contact
cat ~/.openclaw/agents/main/sessions/sessions.json | jq -r 'to_entries[] | select(.key | test("whatsapp")) | "\(.key) | \(.value.origin.label // "?")"'
 
# 5. Check if the sender is allowed
cat ~/.openclaw/openclaw.json | jq '.channels.whatsapp | {dmPolicy, allowFrom, selfChatMode, groupPolicy}'
# If dmPolicy is "allowlist" and the sender isn't in allowFrom, message is silently dropped.
 
# 6. Check if it's a group message (groups are disabled by default)
cat ~/.openclaw/openclaw.json | jq '.channels.whatsapp.groupPolicy'
# "disabled" means ALL group messages are ignored.
 
# 7. Check for lane congestion (agent busy with another task)
grep "lane wait exceeded" ~/.openclaw/logs/gateway.err.log | tail -5
# If the agent is stuck on a long LLM call, new messages queue up.
 
# 8. Check for agent run timeout

# Hard limit is 600s (10 min). If the agent's response takes longer, it's killed.

# Check credential files exist (should be ~1400 files)

# If 0 files: session was never created or got wiped
# Fix: re-pair with `openclaw configure`

# Known issue: the keys "token" and "username" under accounts are not recognized.
# The correct field is "botToken", not "token".
 
# 2. Check the actual config
cat ~/.openclaw/openclaw.json | jq '.channels.telegram'
# Verify each bot has "botToken" (not "token") and "name" fields.
 
# 3. Check polling status — bots die after getUpdates timeout
grep -i "telegram.*exit\|telegram.*timeout\|getUpdates" ~/.openclaw/logs/gateway.err.log | tail -10
# "[telegram] [sales] channel exited: Request to 'getUpdates' timed out after 500 seconds"
# This means the bot lost connection to Telegram's API and stopped listening.
# Fix: restart gateway — `openclaw gateway restart`
 
# 4. Check the polling offset (if bot "forgets" or replays old messages)
cat ~/.openclaw/telegram/update-offset-coder.json
cat ~/.openclaw/telegram/update-offset-sales.json
# If lastUpdateId is stuck or 0, the bot will reprocess old messages.

# 6. "Bot forgets" — this is usually a session issue, not Telegram
# Each Telegram user gets their own session in sessions.json.
# Check if the session exists:
