- fix(agents): gate stream_options on supportsUsageInStreaming for openai-compat providers (#79897) — Root Cause stream_options: { include_usage: true } was unconditionally included in every openai-completions streaming request, regardless of whether the provider supports the OpenAI...
- [codex] reduce plugin sdk surface — Summary - deprecate unused, broad, and rare one/two-owner Plugin SDK public subpaths while keeping package exports for backwards compatibility - move bundled plugin imports off deprecated barrels and...
- fix(auto-reply): image model override with proper attachment detection — Summary - Fix image model fallback resolution: prepareImageModelFallbacks now drops fallbacks that cannot be resolved into a runnable model ref, instead of returning raw strings that may not be valid...
- fix(plugins/install): skip reinstall when installed plugin version satisfies requested — Fixes #79884 Problem The plugin install wizard always reinstalls a plugin even when the already-installed version already satisfies (i.e. is equal to or newer than) the requested version. This causes...
- fix(agents): only seed HEARTBEAT.md on brand-new workspaces — Problem ensureAgentWorkspace() creates HEARTBEAT.md for every workspace missing the file — including existing workspaces where the user intentionally removed it. The empty template was designed as a...
- [/status] api-key label shadows claude-cli OAuth when env key present — Summary On 2026.5.7, /status shows 🔑 api-key (env: ANTHROPIC_API_KEY) when an agent is actually routing through the claude-cli backend via Max OAuth, simply because ANTHROPIC_API_KEY is also present...
- [Feature]: models.providers.*.enabled flag to disable providers without removing config — Summary Allow disabling a model provider via enabled: false without deleting its config block. Problem to solve When you need to temporarily disable a provider (cost spike, rate limits, debugging),...

- [Feature]: Session busy status reply + cancel option during long-running model responses — Summary Add an immediate scripted “session busy / waiting for model” reply (with optional cancel/new-session actions) when a user sends a message to a currently locked session. Problem to solve When...
- [Feature]: Support Anthropic native server-side tools (web_search, web_fetch, code_execution) — Summary Anthropic offers server-side tools that run entirely on their infrastructure. OpenClaw should support opting into these as alternatives to client-side equivalents — no extra API keys, no...
- feat(secrets): add Bitwarden/Vaultwarden secret provider — Summary - Problem: OpenClaw has no Bitwarden/Vaultwarden integration for secret management. Users who rely on Bitwarden (55M+ users) cannot store API keys and tokens in their vault. - Why it matters:...
- feat: Tiered bootstrap file loading for progressive context control — Motivation Bootstrap files consume LLM tokens on every session. For users with large workspaces, loading all files into every session — including sub-agents and cron jobs — wastes context window...
- message tool should auto-select the only enabled account — Summary When using the message tool with a channel that has multiple accounts but only one enabled, auto-select the enabled account instead of defaulting to "default". Problem to solve When using the...
- [Feature]: Discord: Re-process edited user messages (MESSAGE_UPDATE event) — Summary Enable OpenClaw to detect and re-process Discord messages when users edit them, triggering a new agent turn with the updated content. Problem to solve When users edit Discord messages to...
- [Feature]: Shared sessions across multiple group/channel/thread chats — Summary When the same agent is bound to multiple Discord channels (or Slack channels), each channel creates an isolated session (agent::discord:channel:). There is currently no way to selectively...
- [Feature]: Inbound media shared across all agents — no per-agent isolation — Summary In multi-agent setups, all inbound media files (voice notes, images, documents) are saved to a single shared directory (~/.openclaw/media/inbound/). Any agent with filesystem access can read...
- [Feature]: 3 architecture improvements — bootstrap relevance, incremental compaction, observation extraction — OpenClaw's bootstrap file injection uses a positional split (70% head / 20% tail / 10% marker) that cuts the middle of files regardless of content relevance. For large workspace files, the most...
- [Reliability]: Enforce atomic intent→execution flow to prevent orphan pre-action notices — Summary Guarantee that announced actions always end in explicit commit/abort status. Problem to solve Pre-action notices can be emitted without guaranteed execution under interruptions. This creates...
- [Feature]: Support for Custom Emojis in Latest Telegram Bot API Update — Summary Telegram recently introduced custom emojis in the latest Bot API update (see formatting options documentation). The current bot doesn’t support rendering or handling these custom emojis...
- [Feature]: Option to suppress `<media:audio>` placeholder text — Summary Add a config option to suppress the automatic placeholder text when sending voice/audio messages via messaging channels (Signal, Telegram, etc.). Current Behavior When sending audio/voice...
- [Feature]: Mattermost — Parity improvements (formatting, reactions, rich interactions) — Feature Request Mattermost channel support lags significantly behind Discord, Telegram, and WhatsApp in terms of interaction quality. Several related issues exist individually, but there's no...
- Feature Request: Per-agent context/workspace on model fallback — Problem When a primary model (e.g., Claude via GitHub Copilot) hits rate limits or timeouts, OpenClaw falls back to configured fallback models. However, the fallback model receives the same system...
- Gateway boot: no observability for subsystem startup failures (gmail-watcher, hooks) — Problem When the OpenClaw gateway starts (or restarts), there is no logging or feedback about which subsystems/hooks successfully initialized and which silently failed. This makes it very difficult...
- Feature request: configurable lane wait diagnostic threshold — Summary The lane scheduler emits [diagnostic] lane wait exceeded warnings with a hardcoded threshold of 2 seconds (warnAfterMs ?? 2e3 in extensionAPI.js:748). For setups with cron jobs that...
- fix(memory/qmd): scope XDG env vars to qmd spawns; use clean env for mcporter — Summary QmdManager builds a shared env object with agent-scoped XDG_CONFIG_HOME/XDG_CACHE_HOME for qmd process isolation and passes it to all child spawns, including mcporter. Starting with mcporter...
- [Feature]: Plugin hot-reload without container restart (jiti cache invalidation) — Description When developing OpenClaw plugins (TypeScript), every code change requires: 1. Restart the OpenClaw process/container 2. Clear the jiti cache (rm /tmp/jiti/plugin-name.*.cjs) 3. Wait for...
- Feature: Add 'private' groupPolicy option for Slack channels — Summary Add a new groupPolicy value "private" for Slack that allows the bot to respond in private channels only, ignoring public channels unless explicitly allowlisted. Motivation Currently,...
- fix(openrouter): drop nested reasoning when reasoning_effort is set for deepseek-v4 (#79957) — Root Cause When using openrouter/deepseek/deepseek-v4-flash (or v4-pro) with thinking enabled, two separate code paths both write a reasoning field to the payload: 1. Base transport...
