Summary OpenClaw: Discord DM reaction ingress missed dmPolicy/allowFrom checks in restricted setups In OpenClaw `<= 2026.2.24`, Discord direct-message reaction notifications did not consistently apply the same DM authorization checks (`dmPolicy` / `allowFrom`) that are enforced for normal DM message ingress. In restrictive DM setups, a non-allowlisted Discord user who can react to a bot-authored DM message could still enqueue a reaction-derived system event in the session. This is a reaction-only ingress inconsistency. By itself it does not directly execute commands; practical impact depends on downstream automation/tool policy.
