- fix(security): exclude test/spec/mock files from plugin code-safety scan — Problem plugins.code_safety raises critical env-harvesting findings on bundled plugin test files (.test.ts, .spec.ts, .mock.ts). These files are never loaded as the plugin runtime entry — only the...
- 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...
- [Bug]: model-fetch streaming response processing starves the event loop (SocketError, 30s+ freeze) — Bug type Behavior bug (incorrect output/state without crash) Summary When the agent processes a large context via the opencode-go provider (and likely all OpenAI-compatible streaming providers), the...

- Check ClawHub trust before plugin installs — Summary Reapplies the ClawHub plugin-install trust check from #81307 after the revert in #81363. This PR keeps the original trust-check scope: - check ClawHub exact-release trust before ClawHub...
- fix(proxy): add clientSocket error handler and use destroy() in CONNECT tunnel — Problem The CONNECT tunnel handler in src/proxy-capture/proxy-server.ts pipes clientSocket and upstreamSocket together but only registered an error event handler on the upstream socket. When a client...
- feat(embedded-runner): expose prep stage timings — Summary - expose existing embedded runner prep stage snapshots on attempt results and run meta - include prep stage timings on the agent_end hook event for plugin observability - add coverage for...
- Bundled installs lose image optimization for over-cap images because `sharp` is no longer in `package.json`; no documented install path for operators who want full image-processing functionality — Summary After #77117 (merged 2026-05-04, in 5.4+), the framework now tolerates a missing sharp install by falling back to the original image when it's under the configured size cap. This is great for...
- fix(gateway): abort gmail watcher reload starts — Summary - Problem: #82395 fixed queued startup Gmail sidecars, but config hot reload could still own an in-flight Gmail restart without a shutdown abort signal. - Why it matters: shutdown could stop...

- fix(codex): enforce native pre-tool policy relay — Problem Codex native code mode can execute native shell and file tools inside the Codex runtime. OpenClaw already had a native hook relay path for Codex, but the public Codex harness did not enable...
- Fix Telegram context loss after restart replay — Summary - Rebase onto current main and keep upstream's new Telegram stalled-backlog health reporting while adding the disk-backed recovery it does not cover. - Prevent Telegram isolated-ingress...
- fix(gateway): surface exec approval delivery failures — Summary - Surface configured exec/plugin approval delivery failures instead of treating them like an undelivered optional route. - Track whether explicit approval delivery was attempted so failed...
- fix(gateway): discover disk compaction checkpoints — Summary Fixes #68864. - discover valid {session}.checkpoint..jsonl transcript files when sessions.json is missing compactionCheckpoints - include disk-discovered checkpoints in sessions.list row...
- Expose plugin approval action metadata — Summary: - Add plugin approval action templates to the before_tool_call approval result and plugin.approval.request schema. - Expand templates with the server-generated approval id, store the...
- fix(cli): finalize context engine turns — Summary - Problem: successful CLI-routed turns bypassed the context-engine post-turn lifecycle. - Why it matters: non-legacy context engines such as LCM did not receive CLI turn data or turn...
- feat: add verified plugin approval resolution — Summary - Add an admin-scoped plugin.approval.resolveVerified Gateway method for plugin-owned verified HITL resolution. - Require the caller to provide pluginId and reject resolution when the pending...

- configure wizard: models block is append-only — stale/delisted model entries never pruned — Summary The openclaw configure wizard treats the models: block in openclaw.json as an additive registry/alias store. It adds or updates entries when you select a new model, but it never removes...
- [Bug]: Slack provider doesn't reliably reload after channels.slack.botToken rotation (cached singleAuthorization) — Summary After a Slack bot token rotation (edited in panel/config and persisted to ~/.openclaw/openclaw.json), the running Slack provider does not reliably reload the new token. The cached token in...
- Runtime tool fixtures need a default-tool hard gate after known drifts are fixed — Part of #80171 and follow-up to #80323. The Phase 2 runtime tool fixture set exists, but it is currently an inventory/reporting lane rather than a hard default-tool parity gate. Audit snapshot from...
- Runtime parity needs 20-turn and 100-turn soak coverage — Part of #80171 and follow-up to #80323. The Phase 1-5 harness can compare Pi and Codex cells, but current runtime-pair depth is mostly short-turn coverage. Audit snapshot from #80323: - Across the 97...
- [Bug]: placeholder.openclaw.cloud unreachable on WSL2 with custom gateway port — Bug type Behavior bug (incorrect output/state without crash) Beta release blocker No Summary When uploading an image through Open WebUI → OpenClaw → lmstudio, the vision pipeline fails because...
- [Feature]: ACPX Codex sandbox should inherit user-installed plugins (e.g. Superpowers) — Summary ACPX Codex sandbox (~/.openclaw/acpx/codex-home/) does not inherit plugins from the user's personal Codex home (~/.codex/). This means plugins like Superpowers that are already installed in...
