The .catch() handler now covers both early and late failures:
- Within 2s: sets settled=true, startup throws to caller
- After 2s: sets params.state.started=false so subsequent
resolveSharedMatrixClient() calls detect the dead client
Removed redundant second .catch() — single handler covers all cases.
Codex review feedback: ensureSharedClientStarted now throws the error
from client.start() if it rejects during the 2s grace window, so
resolveSharedMatrixClient() properly reports failure (e.g. bad token,
unreachable homeserver) instead of leaving the provider in a
running-but-not-syncing state.
## Changes
### 1. Fix client.start() hanging forever (shared.ts)
The bot-sdk's `client.start()` returns a promise that never resolves
(infinite sync loop). The plugin awaited it, blocking the entire provider
startup — `logged in as` never printed, no messages were processed.
Fix: fire-and-forget with error handler + 2s initialization delay.
### 2. Fix DM false positive for 2-member rooms (direct.ts)
`memberCount === 2` heuristic misclassified explicitly configured group
rooms as DMs when only bot + one user were joined. Messages were routed
through DM policy and silently dropped.
Fix: remove member count heuristic; only trust `m.direct` account data
and `is_direct` room state flag.
Ref: #20145
### 3. Prevent duplicate event listener registration (events.ts)
When both bundled channel plugin and extension load, listeners were
registered twice on the same shared client, causing inconsistent state.
Fix: WeakSet guard to skip registration if client already has listeners.
Ref: #18330
### 4. Add startup grace period (index.ts)
`startupGraceMs = 0` dropped messages timestamped during async setup.
Especially problematic with Conduit which retries on `M_NOT_FOUND`
during filter creation.
Fix: 5-second grace period.
### 5. Fix room ID case sensitivity with Conduit (index.ts)
Room IDs (`!xyz`) without `:server` suffix failed the
`includes(':')` check and were sent to `resolveMatrixTargets`, which
called Conduit's `resolveRoom` — returning lowercased IDs. The bot-sdk
emits events with original-case IDs, causing config lookup mismatches
and reply delivery failures (`M_UNKNOWN: non-create event for room of
unknown version`).
Fix: treat `!`-prefixed entries as room IDs directly (skip resolution).
Only resolve `#alias:server` entries.
## Testing
Tested with Conduit homeserver (lightweight Rust Matrix server).
All fixes verified with gateway log tracing:
- `logged in as @arvi:matrix.local` — first successful login
- `room.message` events fire and reach handler
- Room config matching returns `allowed: true`
- Agent generates response and delivers it to Matrix room

* fix(docker): harden /app/extensions permissions to 755
Bundled extension directories shipped as world-writable (mode 777)
in the Docker image. The plugin security scanner blocks any world-
writable path with:
WARN: blocked plugin candidate: world-writable path
(/app/extensions/memory-core, mode=777)
Add chmod -R 755 /app/extensions in the final USER root RUN step so
all bundled extensions are readable but not world-writable. This runs
as root before switching back to the node user, matching the pattern
already used for chmod 755 /app/openclaw.mjs.
Fixes#30139
* fix(docker): normalize plugin and agent path permissions
* docs(changelog): add docker permissions entry for #30191
* Update CHANGELOG.md
