Cross-Agent Discord Test with Hans
- Event: Test of bot-to-bot communication between James (forge, Florida) and Hans (Zurich, CH VPS 185.218.204.47)
- Outcome: PARTIAL SUCCESS - three-way chat works with Johan as relay; direct bot-to-bot doesn't work
Bot-to-Bot Issue
- Root cause: Discord API allows bots to read other bots' messages, but most bot libraries (including OpenClaw's discord.js) explicitly filter them out to prevent infinite loops
- Config fix: Added each other's bot IDs to guild users allowlist:
- James: added Hans's ID
1478321168065761352 - Hans: added James's ID
1478257984546144327
- James: added Hans's ID
- Result: Bots can see messages through Johan's relay, but not directly from each other
- Workaround: Use Johan as relay (already working)
Config Changes Made
- Model switch: Default model changed from Claude Sonnet 4.6 → MiniMax M2.5 (for speed parity with Hans)
- Guild allowlist: Both bot IDs added to guild 1478270766007976009 users list
- Streaming: Already
"off"on both sides
Speed Comparison
- Hans (Zurich, Europe) vs James (Florida, US) both on MiniMax M2.5
- Hans claims faster response times - possibly due to:
- Network routing to Fireworks API
- Or perception (Hans only responds to Johan, James does memory searches/config lookups)
- Both have identical config:
streaming: "off", same model
Hans's Server Status
- OpenClaw was down at ~00:34 UTC (no process running, no systemd service)
- Restarted manually, back up by ~06:40 UTC
- Running in screen/tmux or directly, not as systemd user service
