Parallels Discord Roundtrip

Use when macOS Parallels smoke must prove Discord two-way delivery end to end.

Goal

Cover:

• install on fresh macOS snapshot
• onboard + gateway health
• guest message send to Discord
• host sees that message on Discord
• host posts a new Discord message
• guest message read sees that new message

Inputs

• host env var with Discord bot token
• Discord guild ID
• Discord channel ID
• OPENAI_API_KEY

Preferred run

export OPENCLAW_PARALLELS_DISCORD_TOKEN="$(
  ssh peters-mac-studio-1 'jq -r ".channels.discord.token" ~/.openclaw/openclaw.json' | tr -d '\n'
)"

pnpm test:parallels:macos \
  --discord-token-env OPENCLAW_PARALLELS_DISCORD_TOKEN \
  --discord-guild-id 1456350064065904867 \
  --discord-channel-id 1456744319972282449 \
  --json

Notes

• Snapshot target: closest to macOS 26.3.1 fresh.
• Snapshot resolver now prefers matching -poweroff clones when the base hint also matches. That lets the harness reuse disk-only recovery snapshots without passing a longer hint.
• If Windows/Linux snapshot restore logs show PET_QUESTION_SNAPSHOT_STATE_INCOMPATIBLE_CPU, drop the suspended state once, create a -poweroff replacement snapshot, and rerun. The smoke scripts now auto-start restored power-off snapshots.
• Harness configures Discord inside the guest; no checked-in token/config.
• Use the openclaw wrapper for guest message send/read; node openclaw.mjs message ... does not expose the lazy message subcommands the same way.
• Write channels.discord.guilds in one JSON object (--strict-json), not dotted config set channels.discord.guilds.<snowflake>... paths; numeric snowflakes get treated like array indexes.
• Avoid prlctl enter / expect for long Discord setup scripts; it line-wraps/corrupts long commands. Use prlctl exec --current-user /bin/sh -lc ... for the Discord config phase.
• Full 3-OS sweeps: the shared build lock is safe in parallel, but snapshot restore is still a Parallels bottleneck. Prefer serialized Windows/Linux restore-heavy reruns if the host is already under load.
• Harness cleanup deletes the temporary Discord smoke messages at exit.
• After a successful Discord roundtrip, shut down the macOS guest before handoff (prlctl stop "macOS Tahoe"). The macOS smoke harness should do this automatically after successful Discord proof; still stop the VM manually after ad-hoc Discord checks. Do not leave the Discord-configured VM running; it can keep reading/posting in #maintainer and spam Discord after the proof is complete.
• Per-phase logs: /tmp/openclaw-parallels-smoke.*
• Machine summary: pass --json
• If roundtrip flakes, inspect fresh.discord-roundtrip.log and discord-last-readback.json in the run dir first.

Pass criteria

• fresh lane or upgrade lane requested passes
• summary reports discord=pass for that lane
• guest outbound nonce appears in channel history
• host inbound nonce appears in openclaw message read output
