OpenClaw runs Discord audio preflight transcription before member authorization
Summary
Discord audio preflight transcription before member authorization
Current Maintainer Triage
- Status: narrow
- Normalized severity: medium
- Assessment: v2026.3.28 still runs Discord audio preflight before member allowlist rejection, but this is the same pre-auth resource-consumption class and not the high-severity auth-bypass framing in the draft.
