agent config 'channels.feishu' must be an object

Error message

agent config 'channels.feishu' must be an object

What it means

Inside the channels object, the 'feishu' entry must itself be a JSON object so credentials (app_id, app_secret, domain) can be merged in. A non-object value triggers this ValueError instead of overwriting user data.

Solutions

1. Change the entry to an object: "channels": {"feishu": {}} — login will fill in credentials
2. Remove the malformed feishu entry entirely and let setdefault recreate it as an object

Example fix

// before
"channels": {"feishu": true}
// after
"channels": {"feishu": {"enabled": true}}

ch = cfg.setdefault('channels', {})
if 'feishu' in ch and not isinstance(ch['feishu'], dict): raise ValueError('channels.feishu must be an object')

def has_valid_feishu_section(cfg: dict) -> bool:
    ch = cfg.get('channels', {})
    return isinstance(ch, dict) and ('feishu' not in ch or isinstance(ch['feishu'], dict))

When it happens

Trigger: agent.json has "channels": {"feishu": true} or "feishu": "enabled" — any non-object — when QR login persists credentials.

Common situations: Minimal hand-written configs that use booleans/strings as toggles for channels; copy-paste from older config examples with a flat schema.
