Audit: David #david session reset

Date: 2026-04-08 12:02 PDT

Findings summary

• Verified David's session store path exists at /Users/vinny/.openclaw/agents/david/sessions/sessions.json.
• Verified target key existed before change: agent:david:discord:channel:1482462276660367492.
• Backed up the store to /Users/vinny/.openclaw/agents/david/sessions/sessions.json.bak-20260408-120146.
• Deleted only that one key from sessions.json.
• Verified post-change that the key is absent.
• Left the transcript file untouched: /Users/vinny/.openclaw/agents/david/sessions/d7f511ab-4077-4592-9626-c8432c2b080d.jsonl.

Verified state

• Store entry count before: 65
• Store entry count after: 64
• Removed keys: only agent:david:discord:channel:1482462276660367492
• Added keys: none
• Changed keys besides removal: none
• Target entry pointed at session id d7f511ab-4077-4592-9626-c8432c2b080d
• Target entry updatedAt: 2026-04-01T16:12:11.756-07:00

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:

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.
