Why this is the smallest safe fix

The fault scope was one persisted session key for one Discord channel.
Deleting only the single store entry avoids touching Discord config, bindings, other David sessions, and Vinny.
Leaving the old transcript file in place avoids extra cleanup risk. It is now inert unless re-linked manually.

Pending step

Gateway restart is still pending. Manual file deletion changes disk state, but the running gateway may still hold the session store in memory.
Exact command, only if Vinny/Pete approves:

bash

openclaw gateway restart

Restart impact

Short interruption to active OpenClaw traffic while the gateway restarts.
Required if the goal is immediate effect for new messages in #david, because the running process may still use the old in-memory session map until restart.
After restart, the next message in #david should create a fresh session entry for that channel.

Rollback

bash

cp /Users/vinny/.openclaw/agents/david/sessions/sessions.json.bak-20260408-120146 /Users/vinny/.openclaw/agents/david/sessions/sessions.json
openclaw gateway restart
