OpenClaw: Discord text `/approve` bypasses `channels.discord.execApprovals.approvers` and allows non-approvers to resolve pending exec approvals
## Summary Discord text approval commands resolved pending exec approvals without honoring the configured approver allowlist. ## Impact A Discord user who was allowed to send commands but was not in the approver list could still approve pending host execution. ## Affected Component `extensions/discord/src/exec-approvals.ts, src/auto-reply/reply/commands-approve.ts` ## Fixed Versions - Affected: `<= 2026.3.24` - Patched: `>= 2026.3.28` - Latest stable `2026.3.28` contains the fix. ## Fix Fixed by commit `355abe5eba` (`Discord: enforce approver checks for text approvals`).
