### Changes
- Gateway/node pending work: add narrow in-memory pending-work queue primitives (`node.pending.enqueue` / `node.pending.drain`) and wake-helper reuse as a foundation for dormant-node work delivery. (#41409) Thanks @mbelinky.
- Git/runtime state: ignore the gateway-generated `.dev-state` file so local runtime state does not show up as untracked repo noise. (#41848) Thanks @smysle.
- ACP/sessions_spawn: add optional `resumeSessionId` for `runtime: "acp"` so spawned ACP sessions can resume an existing ACPX/Codex conversation instead of always starting fresh. (#41847) Thanks @pejmanjohn.
- Exec/child commands: mark child command environments with `OPENCLAW_CLI` so subprocesses can detect when they were launched from the OpenClaw CLI. (#41411) Thanks @vincentkoc.
- iOS/Home canvas: add a bundled welcome screen with a live agent overview that refreshes on connect, reconnect, and foreground return, and move the compact connection pill off the top-left canvas overlay. (#42456) Thanks @ngutman.
- iOS/Home canvas: replace floating controls with a docked toolbar, make the bundled home scaffold adapt to smaller phones, and open chat in the resolved main session instead of a synthetic `ios` session. (#42456) Thanks @ngutman.
- Memory/Gemini: add `gemini-embedding-2-preview` memory-search support with configurable output dimensions and automatic reindexing when the configured dimensions change. (#42501) Thanks @BillChirico and @gumadeiras.
- Discord/auto threads: add `autoArchiveDuration` channel config for auto-created threads so Discord thread archiving can stay at 1 hour, 1 day, 3 days, or 1 week instead of always using the 1-hour default. (#35065) Thanks @davidguttman.
- OpenCode/onboarding: add new OpenCode Go provider, treat Zen and Go as one OpenCode setup in the wizard/docs while keeping the runtime providers split, store one shared OpenCode key for both profiles, and stop overriding the built-in `opencode-go` catalog routing. (#42313) Thanks @ImLukeF and @vincentkoc.
- macOS/chat UI: add a chat model picker, persist explicit thinking-level selections across relaunch, and harden provider-aware session model sync for the shared chat composer. (#42314) Thanks @ImLukeF.
- iOS/TestFlight: add a local beta release flow with Fastlane prepare/archive/upload support, canonical beta bundle IDs, and watch-app archive fixes. (#42991) Thanks @ngutman.
- macOS/onboarding: detect when remote gateways need a shared auth token, explain where to find it on the gateway host, and clarify when a successful check used paired-device auth instead. (#43100) Thanks @ngutman.
- Onboarding/Ollama: add first-class Ollama setup with Local or Cloud + Local modes, browser-based cloud sign-in, curated model suggestions, and cloud-model handling that skips unnecessary local pulls. (#41529) Thanks @BruceMacD.
- OpenCode/onboarding: add new OpenCode Go provider, treat Zen and Go as one OpenCode setup in the wizard/docs while keeping the runtime providers split, store one shared OpenCode key for both profiles, and stop overriding the built-in `opencode-go` catalog routing. (#42313) Thanks @ImLukeF and @vincentkoc.
- Memory: add opt-in multimodal image and audio indexing for `memorySearch.extraPaths` with Gemini `gemini-embedding-2-preview`, strict fallback gating, and scope-based reindexing. (#43460) Thanks @gumadeiras.

### Breaking
@@ -32,96 +32,96 @@ Docs: https://docs.openclaw.ai
### Fixes
- Agents/text sanitization: strip leaked model control tokens (`<|...|>` and full-width `<...>` variants) from user-facing assistant text, preventing GLM-5 and DeepSeek internal delimiters from reaching end users. (#42173) Thanks @imwyvern.
- Resolve web tool SecretRefs atomically at runtime. (#41599) Thanks @joshavant.
- Feishu/local image auto-convert: pass `mediaLocalRoots` through the `sendText` local-image shim so allowed local image paths upload as Feishu images again instead of falling back to raw path text. (#40623) Thanks @ayanesakura.
- ACP/ACPX plugin: bump the bundled `acpx` pin to `0.1.16` so plugin-local installs and strict version checks match the latest published CLI. (#41975) Thanks @dutifulbob.
- macOS/LaunchAgent install: tighten LaunchAgent directory and plist permissions during install so launchd bootstrap does not fail when the target home path or generated plist inherited group/world-writable modes.
- iOS/gateway foreground recovery: reconnect immediately on foreground return after stale background sockets are torn down, so the app no longer stays disconnected until a later wake path happens. (#41384) Thanks @mbelinky.
- Gateway/Control UI: keep dashboard auth tokens in session-scoped browser storage so same-tab refreshes preserve remote token auth without restoring long-lived localStorage token persistence, while scoping tokens to the selected gateway URL and fragment-only bootstrap flow. (#40892) thanks @velvet-shark.
- Gateway/macOS launchd restarts: keep the LaunchAgent registered during explicit restarts, hand off self-restarts through a detached launchd helper, and recover config/hot reload restart paths without unloading the service. Fixes #43311, #43406, #43035, and #43049.
- macOS/LaunchAgent install: tighten LaunchAgent directory and plist permissions during install so launchd bootstrap does not fail when the target home path or generated plist inherited group/world-writable modes.
- Discord/reply chunking: resolve the effective `maxLinesPerMessage` config across live reply paths and preserve `chunkMode` in the fast send path so long Discord replies no longer split unexpectedly at the default 17-line limit. (#40133) thanks @rbutera.
- Feishu/local image auto-convert: pass `mediaLocalRoots` through the `sendText` local-image shim so allowed local image paths upload as Feishu images again instead of falling back to raw path text. (#40623) Thanks @ayanesakura.
- Models/Kimi Coding: send `anthropic-messages` tools in native Anthropic format again so `kimi-coding` stops degrading tool calls into XML/plain-text pseudo invocations instead of real `tool_use` blocks. (#38669, #39907, #40552) Thanks @opriz.
- Telegram/outbound HTML sends: chunk long HTML-mode messages, preserve plain-text fallback and silent-delivery params across retries, and cut over to plain text when HTML chunk planning cannot safely preserve the full message. (#42240) thanks @obviyus.
- Telegram/final preview delivery: split active preview lifecycle from cleanup retention so missing archived preview edits avoid duplicate fallback sends without clearing the live preview or blocking later in-place finalization. (#41662) thanks @hougangdev.
- Telegram/final preview delivery followup: keep ambiguous missing-`message_id` finals only when a preview was already visible, while first-preview/no-id cases still fall back so Telegram users do not lose the final reply. (#41932) thanks @hougangdev.
- Telegram/final preview cleanup follow-up: clear stale cleanup-retain state only for transient preview finals so archived-preview retains no longer leave a stale partial bubble beside a later fallback-sent final. (#41763) Thanks @obviyus.
- Gateway/auth: allow one trusted device-token retry on shared-token mismatch with recovery hints to prevent reconnect churn during token drift. (#42507) Thanks @joshavant.
- Gateway/config errors: surface up to three validation issues in top-level `config.set`, `config.patch`, and `config.apply` error messages while preserving structured issue details. (#42664) Thanks @huntharo.
- Agents/Azure OpenAI Responses: include the `azure-openai` provider in the Responses API store override so Azure OpenAI multi-turn cron jobs and embedded agent runs no longer fail with HTTP 400 "store is set to false". (#42934, fixes #42800) Thanks @ademczuk.
- Agents/error rendering: ignore stale assistant `errorMessage` fields on successful turns so background/tool-side failures no longer prepend synthetic billing errors over valid replies. (#40616) Thanks @ingyukoh.
- Agents/billing recovery: probe single-provider billing cooldowns on the existing throttle so topping up credits can recover without a manual gateway restart. (#41422) thanks @altaywtf.
- Agents/fallback: treat HTTP 499 responses as transient in both raw-text and structured failover paths so Anthropic-style client-closed overload responses trigger model fallback reliably. (#41468) thanks @zeroasterisk.
- Agents/fallback: recognize Venice `402 Insufficient USD or Diem balance` billing errors so configured model fallbacks trigger instead of surfacing the raw provider error. (#43205) Thanks @Squabble9.
- Agents/fallback: recognize Poe `402 You've used up your points!` billing errors so configured model fallbacks trigger instead of surfacing the raw provider error. (#42278) Thanks @CryUshio.
- Agents/failover: treat Gemini `MALFORMED_RESPONSE` stop reasons as retryable timeouts so preview-model enum drift falls back cleanly instead of crashing the run, without also reclassifying malformed function-call errors. (#42292) Thanks @jnMetaCode.
- Agents/cooldowns: default cooldown windows with no recorded failure history to `unknown` instead of `rate_limit`, avoiding false API rate-limit warnings while preserving cooldown recovery probes. (#42911) Thanks @VibhorGautam.
- Auth/cooldowns: reset expired auth-profile cooldown error counters before computing the next backoff so stale on-disk counters do not re-escalate into long cooldown loops after expiry. (#41028) thanks @zerone0x.
- Agents/memory flush: forward `memoryFlushWritePath` through `runEmbeddedPiAgent` so memory-triggered flush turns keep the append-only write guard without aborting before tool setup. Follows up on #38574. (#41761) Thanks @frankekn.
- Agents/context pruning: prune image-only tool results during soft-trim, align context-pruning coverage with the new tool-result contract, and extend historical image cleanup to the same screenshot-heavy session path. (#43045) Thanks @MoerAI.
- Sessions/reset model recompute: clear stale runtime model, context-token, and system-prompt metadata before session resets recompute the replacement session, so resets pick up current defaults and explicit overrides instead of reusing old runtime model state. (#41173) thanks @PonyX-lab.
- Channels/allowlists: remove stale matcher caching so same-array allowlist edits and wildcard replacements take effect immediately, with regression coverage for in-place mutation cases.
- Discord/Telegram outbound runtime config: thread runtime-resolved config through Discord and Telegram send paths so SecretRef-based credentials stay resolved during message delivery. (#42352) Thanks @joshavant.
- Tools/web search: treat Brave `llm-context` grounding snippets as plain strings so `web_search` no longer returns empty snippet arrays in LLM Context mode. (#41387) thanks @zheliu2.
- Tools/web search: recover OpenRouter Perplexity citation extraction from `message.annotations` when chat-completions responses omit top-level citations. (#40881) Thanks @laurieluo.
- CLI/skills JSON: strip ANSI and C1 control bytes from `skills list --json`, `skills info --json`, and `skills check --json` so machine-readable output stays valid for terminals and skill metadata with embedded control characters. Fixes #27530. Related #27557. Thanks @Jimmy-xuzimo and @vincentkoc.
- CLI/tables: default shared tables to ASCII borders on legacy Windows consoles while keeping Unicode borders on modern Windows terminals, so commands like `openclaw skills` stop rendering mojibake under GBK/936 consoles. Fixes #40853. Related #41015. Thanks @ApacheBin and @vincentkoc.
- CLI/memory teardown: close cached memory search/index managers in the one-shot CLI shutdown path so watcher-backed memory caches no longer keep completed CLI runs alive after output finishes. (#40389) thanks @Julbarth.
- Control UI/Sessions: restore single-column session table collapse on narrow viewport or container widths by moving the responsive table override next to the base grid rule and enabling inline-size container queries. (#12175) Thanks @benjipeng.
- Telegram/network env-proxy: apply configured transport policy to proxied HTTPS dispatchers as well as direct `NO_PROXY` bypasses, so resolver-scoped IPv4 fallback and network settings work consistently for env-proxied Telegram traffic. (#40740) Thanks @sircrumpet.
- Mattermost/Markdown formatting: preserve first-line indentation when stripping bot mentions so nested list items and indented code blocks keep their structure, and render Mattermost tables natively by default instead of fenced-code fallback. (#18655) thanks @echo931.
- Mattermost/plugin send actions: normalize direct `replyTo` fallback handling so threaded plugin sends trim blank IDs and reuse the correct reply target again. (#41176) Thanks @hnykda.
- MS Teams/allowlist resolution: use the General channel conversation ID as the resolved team key (with Graph GUID fallback) so Bot Framework runtime `channelData.team.id` matching works for team and team/channel allowlist entries. (#41838) Thanks @BradGroux.
- Signal/config schema: accept `channels.signal.accountUuid` in strict config validation so loop-protection configs no longer fail with an unrecognized-key error. (#35578) Thanks @ingyukoh.
- Telegram/config schema: accept `channels.telegram.actions.editMessage` and `createForumTopic` in strict config validation so existing Telegram action toggles no longer fail as unrecognized keys. (#35498) Thanks @ingyukoh.
- Telegram/docs: clarify that `channels.telegram.groups` allowlists chats while `groupAllowFrom` allowlists users inside those chats, and point invalid negative chat IDs at the right config key. (#42451) Thanks @altaywtf.
- Discord/config typing: expose channel-level `autoThread` on the canonical guild-channel config type so strict config loading matches the existing Discord schema and runtime behavior. (#35608) Thanks @ingyukoh.
- fix(models): guard optional model.input capability checks (#42096) thanks @andyliu
- Models/Alibaba Cloud Model Studio: wire `MODELSTUDIO_API_KEY` through shared env auth, implicit provider discovery, and shell-env fallback so onboarding works outside the wizard too. (#40634) Thanks @pomelo-nwu.
- Resolve web tool SecretRefs atomically at runtime. (#41599) Thanks @joshavant.
- Secret files: harden CLI and channel credential file reads against path-swap races by requiring direct regular files for `*File` secret inputs and rejecting symlink-backed secret files.
- Archive extraction: harden TAR and external `tar.bz2` installs against destination symlink and pre-existing child-symlink escapes by extracting into staging first and merging into the canonical destination with safe file opens.
- Models/Kimi Coding: send `anthropic-messages` tools in native Anthropic format again so `kimi-coding` stops degrading tool calls into XML/plain-text pseudo invocations instead of real `tool_use` blocks. (#38669, #39907, #40552) Thanks @opriz.
- Context engine/tests: add bundled-registry regression coverage for cross-chunk resolution, plugin-sdk re-exports, and concurrent chunk registration. (#40460) thanks @dsantoreis.
- Agents/embedded runner: bound compaction retry waiting and drain embedded runs during SIGUSR1 restart so session lanes recover instead of staying blocked behind compaction. (#40324) thanks @cgdusek.
- Secrets/SecretRef: reject exec SecretRef traversal ids across schema, runtime, and gateway. (#42370) Thanks @joshavant.
- Sandbox/fs bridge: pin staged writes to verified parent directories so temporary write files cannot materialize outside the allowed mount before atomic replace. Thanks @tdjackey.
- Gateway/auth: fail closed when local `gateway.auth.*` SecretRefs are configured but unavailable, instead of silently falling back to `gateway.remote.*` credentials in local mode. (#42672) Thanks @joshavant.
- Commands/config writes: enforce `configWrites` against both the originating account and the targeted account scope for `/config` and config-backed `/allowlist` edits, blocking sibling-account mutations while preserving gateway `operator.admin` flows. Thanks @tdjackey for reporting.
- Security/system.run: fail closed for approval-backed interpreter/runtime commands when OpenClaw cannot bind exactly one concrete local file operand, while extending best-effort direct-file binding to additional runtime forms. Thanks @tdjackey for reporting.
- Gateway/session reset auth: split conversation `/new` and `/reset` handling away from the admin-only `sessions.reset` control-plane RPC so write-scoped gateway callers can no longer reach the privileged reset path through `agent`. Thanks @tdjackey for reporting.
- Security/plugin runtime: stop unauthenticated plugin HTTP routes from inheriting synthetic admin gateway scopes when they call `runtime.subagent.*`, so admin-only methods like `sessions.delete` stay blocked without gateway auth.
- Security/session_status: enforce sandbox session-tree visibility and shared agent-to-agent access guards before reading or mutating target session state, so sandboxed subagents can no longer inspect parent session metadata or write parent model overrides via `session_status`.
- Security/nodes: treat the `nodes` agent tool as owner-only fallback policy so non-owner senders cannot reach paired-node approval or invoke paths through the shared tool set.
- Security/external content: treat whitespace-delimited `EXTERNAL UNTRUSTED CONTENT` boundary markers like underscore-delimited variants so prompt wrappers cannot bypass marker sanitization. (#35983) Thanks @urianpaul94.
- Telegram/exec approvals: reject `/approve` commands aimed at other bots, keep deterministic approval prompts visible when tool-result delivery fails, and stop resolved exact IDs from matching other pending approvals by prefix. (#37233) Thanks @huntharo.
- Subagents/authority: persist leaf vs orchestrator control scope at spawn time and route tool plus slash-command control through shared ownership checks, so leaf sessions cannot regain orchestration privileges after restore or flat-key lookups. Thanks @tdjackey.
- ACP/ACPX plugin: bump the bundled `acpx` pin to `0.1.16` so plugin-local installs and strict version checks match the latest published CLI. (#41975) Thanks @dutifulbob.
- ACP/sessions.patch: allow `spawnedBy` and `spawnDepth` lineage fields on ACP session keys so `sessions_spawn` with `runtime: "acp"` no longer fails during child-session setup. Fixes #40971. (#40995) thanks @xaeon2026.
- ACP/stop reason mapping: resolve gateway chat `state: "error"` completions as ACP `end_turn` instead of `refusal` so transient backend failures are not surfaced as deliberate refusals. (#41187) thanks @pejmanjohn.
- ACP/setSessionMode: propagate gateway `sessions.patch` failures back to ACP clients so rejected mode changes no longer return silent success. (#41185) thanks @pejmanjohn.
- Agents/embedded logs: add structured, sanitized lifecycle and failover observation events so overload and provider failures are easier to tail and filter. (#41336) thanks @altaywtf.
- iOS/gateway foreground recovery: reconnect immediately on foreground return after stale background sockets are torn down, so the app no longer stays disconnected until a later wake path happens. (#41384) Thanks @mbelinky.
- Cron/subagent followup: do not misclassify empty or `NO_REPLY` cron responses as interim acknowledgements that need a rerun, so deliberately silent cron jobs are no longer retried. (#41383) thanks @jackal092927.
- Auth/cooldowns: reset expired auth-profile cooldown error counters before computing the next backoff so stale on-disk counters do not re-escalate into long cooldown loops after expiry. (#41028) thanks @zerone0x.
- Gateway/node pending drain followup: keep `hasMore` true when the deferred baseline status item still needs delivery, and avoid allocating empty pending-work state for drain-only nodes with no queued work. (#41429) Thanks @mbelinky.
- ACP/bridge mode: reject unsupported per-session MCP server setup and propagate rejected session-mode changes so IDE clients see explicit bridge limitations instead of silent success. (#41424) Thanks @mbelinky.
- ACP/session UX: replay stored user and assistant text on `loadSession`, expose Gateway-backed session controls and metadata, and emit approximate session usage updates so IDE clients restore context more faithfully. (#41425) Thanks @mbelinky.
- ACP/tool streaming: enrich `tool_call` and `tool_call_update` events with best-effort text content and file-location hints so IDE clients can follow bridge tool activity more naturally. (#41442) Thanks @mbelinky.
- ACP/runtime attachments: forward normalized inbound image attachments into ACP runtime turns so ACPX sessions can preserve image prompt content on the runtime path. (#41427) Thanks @mbelinky.
- ACP/regressions: add gateway RPC coverage for ACP lineage patching, ACPX runtime coverage for image prompt serialization, and an operator smoke-test procedure for live ACP spawn verification. (#41456) Thanks @mbelinky.
- Agents/billing recovery: probe single-provider billing cooldowns on the existing throttle so topping up credits can recover without a manual gateway restart. (#41422) thanks @altaywtf.
- ACP/follow-up hardening: make session restore and prompt completion degrade gracefully on transcript/update failures, enforce bounded tool-location traversal, and skip non-image ACPX turns the runtime cannot serialize. (#41464) Thanks @mbelinky.
- Agents/fallback observability: add structured, sanitized model-fallback decision and auth-profile failure-state events with correlated run IDs so cooldown probes and failover paths are easier to trace in logs. (#41337) thanks @altaywtf.
- Protocol/Swift model sync: regenerate pending node work Swift bindings after the landed `node.pending.*` schema additions so generated protocol artifacts are consistent again. (#41477) Thanks @mbelinky.
- Discord/reply chunking: resolve the effective `maxLinesPerMessage` config across live reply paths and preserve `chunkMode` in the fast send path so long Discord replies no longer split unexpectedly at the default 17-line limit. (#40133) thanks @rbutera.
- Logging/probe observations: suppress structured embedded and model-fallback probe warnings on the console without hiding error or fatal output. (#41338) thanks @altaywtf.
- Agents/fallback: treat HTTP 499 responses as transient in both raw-text and structured failover paths so Anthropic-style client-closed overload responses trigger model fallback reliably. (#41468) thanks @zeroasterisk.
- ACP/sessions_spawn: implicitly stream `mode="run"` ACP spawns to parent only for eligible subagent orchestrator sessions (heartbeat `target: "last"` with a usable session-local route), restoring parent progress relays without thread binding. (#42404) Thanks @davidguttman.
- ACP/main session aliases: canonicalize `main` before ACP session lookup so restarted ACP main sessions rehydrate instead of failing closed with `Session is not ACP-enabled: main`. (#43285, fixes #25692)
- Plugins/context-engine model auth: expose `runtime.modelAuth` and plugin-sdk auth helpers so plugins can resolve provider/model API keys through the normal auth pipeline. (#41090) thanks @xinhuagu.
- CLI/memory teardown: close cached memory search/index managers in the one-shot CLI shutdown path so watcher-backed memory caches no longer keep completed CLI runs alive after output finishes. (#40389) thanks @Julbarth.
- Tools/web search: treat Brave `llm-context` grounding snippets as plain strings so `web_search` no longer returns empty snippet arrays in LLM Context mode. (#41387) thanks @zheliu2.

- Telegram/final preview delivery: split active preview lifecycle from cleanup retention so missing archived preview edits avoid duplicate fallback sends without clearing the live preview or blocking later in-place finalization. (#41662) thanks @hougangdev.
- Hooks/plugin context parity followup: pass `trigger` and `channelId` through embedded `llm_input`, `agent_end`, and `llm_output` hook contexts so plugins receive the same agent metadata across hook phases. (#42362) Thanks @zhoulf1006.
- Plugins/global hook runner: harden singleton state handling so shared global hook runner reuse does not leak or corrupt runner state across executions. (#40184) Thanks @vincentkoc.
- Context engine/tests: add bundled-registry regression coverage for cross-chunk resolution, plugin-sdk re-exports, and concurrent chunk registration. (#40460) thanks @dsantoreis.

- Browser/Browserbase 429 handling: surface stable no-retry rate-limit guidance without buffering discarded HTTP 429 response bodies from remote browser services. (#40491) thanks @mvanhorn.
- CI/CodeQL Swift toolchain: select Xcode 26.1 before installing Swift build tools so the CodeQL Swift job uses Swift tools 6.2 on `macos-latest`. (#41787) thanks @BunsDev.
- Sandbox/subagents: pass the real configured workspace through `sessions_spawn` inheritance when a parent agent runs in a copied-workspace sandbox, so child `/agent` mounts point at the configured workspace instead of the parent sandbox copy. (#40757) Thanks @dsantoreis.
- Mattermost/plugin send actions: normalize direct `replyTo` fallback handling so threaded plugin sends trim blank IDs and reuse the correct reply target again. (#41176) Thanks @hnykda.

- Agents/fallback cooldown probing: cap cooldown-bypass probing to one attempt per provider per fallback run so multi-model same-provider cooldown chains can continue to cross-provider fallbacks instead of repeatedly stalling on duplicate cooldown probes. (#41711) Thanks @cgdusek.
- Telegram/direct delivery: bridge direct delivery sends to internal `message:sent` hooks so internal hook listeners observe successful Telegram deliveries. (#40185) Thanks @vincentkoc.
- Plugins/global hook runner: harden singleton state handling so shared global hook runner reuse does not leak or corrupt runner state across executions. (#40184) Thanks @vincentkoc.
- Agents/fallback: recognize Poe `402 You've used up your points!` billing errors so configured model fallbacks trigger instead of surfacing the raw provider error. (#42278) Thanks @CryUshio.

- Gateway/macOS launchd restarts: keep the LaunchAgent registered during explicit restarts, hand off self-restarts through a detached launchd helper, and recover config/hot reload restart paths without unloading the service. Fixes #43311, #43406, #43035, and #43049.
- Discord/Telegram outbound runtime config: thread runtime-resolved config through Discord and Telegram send paths so SecretRef-based credentials stay resolved during message delivery. (#42352) Thanks @joshavant.
- Secrets/SecretRef: reject exec SecretRef traversal ids across schema, runtime, and gateway. (#42370) Thanks @joshavant.
- Telegram/docs: clarify that `channels.telegram.groups` allowlists chats while `groupAllowFrom` allowlists users inside those chats, and point invalid negative chat IDs at the right config key. (#42451) Thanks @altaywtf.
- Models/Alibaba Cloud Model Studio: wire `MODELSTUDIO_API_KEY` through shared env auth, implicit provider discovery, and shell-env fallback so onboarding works outside the wizard too. (#40634) Thanks @pomelo-nwu.
- Subagents/authority: persist leaf vs orchestrator control scope at spawn time and route tool plus slash-command control through shared ownership checks, so leaf sessions cannot regain orchestration privileges after restore or flat-key lookups. Thanks @tdjackey.
- ACP/sessions_spawn: implicitly stream `mode="run"` ACP spawns to parent only for eligible subagent orchestrator sessions (heartbeat `target: "last"` with a usable session-local route), restoring parent progress relays without thread binding. (#42404) Thanks @davidguttman.
- Sessions/reset model recompute: clear stale runtime model, context-token, and system-prompt metadata before session resets recompute the replacement session, so resets pick up current defaults and explicit overrides instead of reusing old runtime model state. (#41173) thanks @PonyX-lab.
- Browser/Browserbase 429 handling: surface stable no-retry rate-limit guidance without buffering discarded HTTP 429 response bodies from remote browser services. (#40491) thanks @mvanhorn.
- Gateway/auth: allow one trusted device-token retry on shared-token mismatch with recovery hints to prevent reconnect churn during token drift. (#42507) Thanks @joshavant.
- Channels/allowlists: remove stale matcher caching so same-array allowlist edits and wildcard replacements take effect immediately, with regression coverage for in-place mutation cases.
- Gateway/auth: fail closed when local `gateway.auth.*` SecretRefs are configured but unavailable, instead of silently falling back to `gateway.remote.*` credentials in local mode. (#42672) Thanks @joshavant.
- Sandbox/fs bridge: pin staged writes to verified parent directories so temporary write files cannot materialize outside the allowed mount before atomic replace. Thanks @tdjackey.
- Commands/config writes: enforce `configWrites` against both the originating account and the targeted account scope for `/config` and config-backed `/allowlist` edits, blocking sibling-account mutations while preserving gateway `operator.admin` flows. Thanks @tdjackey for reporting.
- Security/system.run: fail closed for approval-backed interpreter/runtime commands when OpenClaw cannot bind exactly one concrete local file operand, while extending best-effort direct-file binding to additional runtime forms. Thanks @tdjackey for reporting.
- Gateway/session reset auth: split conversation `/new` and `/reset` handling away from the admin-only `sessions.reset` control-plane RPC so write-scoped gateway callers can no longer reach the privileged reset path through `agent`. Thanks @tdjackey for reporting.
- Telegram/final preview delivery followup: keep ambiguous missing-`message_id` finals only when a preview was already visible, while first-preview/no-id cases still fall back so Telegram users do not lose the final reply. (#41932) thanks @hougangdev.
- Agents/Azure OpenAI Responses: include the `azure-openai` provider in the Responses API store override so Azure OpenAI multi-turn cron jobs and embedded agent runs no longer fail with HTTP 400 "store is set to false". (#42934, fixes #42800) Thanks @ademczuk.
- Agents/context pruning: prune image-only tool results during soft-trim, align context-pruning coverage with the new tool-result contract, and extend historical image cleanup to the same screenshot-heavy session path. (#43045) Thanks @MoerAI.
- CLI/skills JSON: strip ANSI and C1 control bytes from `skills list --json`, `skills info --json`, and `skills check --json` so machine-readable output stays valid for terminals and skill metadata with embedded control characters. Fixes #27530. Related #27557. Thanks @Jimmy-xuzimo and @vincentkoc.
- CLI/tables: default shared tables to ASCII borders on legacy Windows consoles while keeping Unicode borders on modern Windows terminals, so commands like `openclaw skills` stop rendering mojibake under GBK/936 consoles. Fixes #40853. Related #41015. Thanks @ApacheBin and @vincentkoc.
- fix(models): guard optional model.input capability checks (#42096) thanks @andyliu
- Security/plugin runtime: stop unauthenticated plugin HTTP routes from inheriting synthetic admin gateway scopes when they call `runtime.subagent.*`, so admin-only methods like `sessions.delete` stay blocked without gateway auth.
- Security/session_status: enforce sandbox session-tree visibility and shared agent-to-agent access guards before reading or mutating target session state, so sandboxed subagents can no longer inspect parent session metadata or write parent model overrides via `session_status`.
- Security/nodes: treat the `nodes` agent tool as owner-only fallback policy so non-owner senders cannot reach paired-node approval or invoke paths through the shared tool set.
- Telegram/final preview cleanup follow-up: clear stale cleanup-retain state only for transient preview finals so archived-preview retains no longer leave a stale partial bubble beside a later fallback-sent final. (#41763) Thanks @obviyus.
- Signal/config schema: accept `channels.signal.accountUuid` in strict config validation so loop-protection configs no longer fail with an unrecognized-key error. (#35578) Thanks @ingyukoh.
- Telegram/config schema: accept `channels.telegram.actions.editMessage` and `createForumTopic` in strict config validation so existing Telegram action toggles no longer fail as unrecognized keys. (#35498) Thanks @ingyukoh.
- Agents/cooldowns: default cooldown windows with no recorded failure history to `unknown` instead of `rate_limit`, avoiding false API rate-limit warnings while preserving cooldown recovery probes. (#42911) Thanks @VibhorGautam.
- Discord/config typing: expose channel-level `autoThread` on the canonical guild-channel config type so strict config loading matches the existing Discord schema and runtime behavior. (#35608) Thanks @ingyukoh.
- Agents/error rendering: ignore stale assistant `errorMessage` fields on successful turns so background/tool-side failures no longer prepend synthetic billing errors over valid replies. (#40616) Thanks @ingyukoh.
- Agents/fallback: recognize Venice `402 Insufficient USD or Diem balance` billing errors so configured model fallbacks trigger instead of surfacing the raw provider error. (#43205) Thanks @Squabble9.
- Dependencies: refresh workspace dependencies except the pinned Carbon package, and harden ACP session-config writes against non-string SDK values so newer ACP clients fail fast instead of tripping type/runtime mismatches.
- Gateway/config errors: surface up to three validation issues in top-level `config.set`, `config.patch`, and `config.apply` error messages while preserving structured issue details. (#42664) Thanks @huntharo.
- Hooks/plugin context parity followup: pass `trigger` and `channelId` through embedded `llm_input`, `agent_end`, and `llm_output` hook contexts so plugins receive the same agent metadata across hook phases. (#42362) Thanks @zhoulf1006.
- ACP/main session aliases: canonicalize `main` before ACP session lookup so restarted ACP main sessions rehydrate instead of failing closed with `Session is not ACP-enabled: main`. (#43285, fixes #25692)
- Agents/context-engine compaction: guard thrown engine-owned overflow compaction attempts and fire compaction hooks for `ownsCompaction` engines so overflow recovery no longer crashes and plugin subscribers still observe compact runs. (#41361) thanks @davidrudduck.
