Queued answer block rotations can split assistant messages while the previous Telegram preview is stale. Materialize the previous block through the existing delivery fallback before resetting the draft lane, and keep assistant-message correlation on the internal dispatcher path instead of expanding the public Plugin SDK payload API.
Constraint: ClawSweeper flagged missing live Telegram proof and a public Plugin SDK helper surface; the code path must stay a Telegram/channel bugfix without adding a third-party SDK contract.
Rejected: Export getReplyPayloadAssistantMessageIndex from openclaw/plugin-sdk/reply-payload | it exposes internal reply metadata solely for this Telegram fix.
Rejected: Match queued block rotations only by text | plugin rewrites, repeated text, and media-only transformed block deliveries need assistant-message correlation.
Confidence: high
Scope-risk: narrow
Directive: Keep intermediate block materialization non-durable unless it is the actual final answer path, and keep assistant-message correlation off public reply-payload SDK exports.
