- OpenClaw 2026.8.1-beta.2 — 2026.8.1 Highlights - Secret egress host binding: bind each shared-store secret to exact HTTPS destination hosts across CLI, Gateway RPC, and Control UI so unbound sentinel substitution fails closed...
- [Feature]: CLI escape hatch to invoke one configured MCP tool (`openclaw mcp call`) — Summary Add a scriptable operator/developer command: that invokes one configured MCP tool through the same OpenClaw MCP runtime used by normal sessions. Problem to solve Operators and developers can...
- feat(tasks): support atomic managed TaskFlow cancellation state — Closes #112708 AI-assisted. I reviewed the implementation, invariants, and validation evidence. What Problem This Solves Managed TaskFlow controllers cannot currently persist their durable stateJson...
- docs(line): document inbound durability, retry policy, and dead-letter recovery — What Problem This Solves Operators running LINE have no documentation for what happens to a webhook event after the durable-queue acknowledgment. docs/channels/line.md says events are retried and...
- Subagent tool-call arguments not transmitted to model (sessions_spawn) — models report success but produce no artifacts — Bug summary When spawning a subagent via sessions_spawn with a task that requires tool use (e.g. exec, write, read), the subagent's tool-call arguments are not transmitted to the model. Subagent runs...
- fix(compaction): reject summaries foregrounding superseded tasks — Closes #123668 What Problem This Solves The compaction quality audit accepted a structured checkpoint summary that foregrounded a superseded earlier task while merely mentioning the latest...
- fix(android): resample realtime mic audio to gateway rate — What Problem This Solves Fixes an issue where Android realtime Talk users on some devices had voice input silently fail: the microphone opened successfully, reported the correct audio route, and was...
- feat: add Twilio RCS channel [AI] — Related: #105710 (feature request / scope-fit discussion) Related: #88476 Related: #102373 Related: #104862 What Problem This Solves OpenClaw's SMS channel can normalize Twilio rcs: addresses, but it...
- [codex] Bound memory flush append payloads — What Problem This Solves Daily memory-flush writes previously lacked a content-neutral production boundary: oversized or unsafe appends could pass through, fallback attempts could reset their...
- [Bug]: Preflight (budget) compaction treats Codex "owns automatic compaction" no-op as fatal and drops the user's turn — Bug type Behavior bug (incorrect output/state without crash) Beta release blocker No Summary On a Codex app-server–backed session, budget-triggered preflight compaction receives the intentional ok:...
- [Bug]: openclaw onboard no longer allows easy provider and model reconfiguration after initial setup — Bug type Regression (worked before, now fails) Beta release blocker No Summary Since a recent update, running openclaw onboard after the initial setup no longer provides an easy way to configure...
- feat: raise (or remove) 3-minute no-output watchdog cap on CLI requests — Problem CLI_RESUME_WATCHDOG_DEFAULTS.maxMs is hardcoded to 180_000 ms (3 minutes) in src/agents/cli-watchdog-defaults.ts. This caps the no-output watchdog for all resumed CLI sessions at 3 minutes,...
- chore(i18n): refresh native locales — What Problem This Solves Keeps generated native app locales synchronized without bypassing protected-branch checks. Why This Change Was Made The Native App Locale Refresh workflow generated this...
- fix(state): retire entry_valid write-triggers and settle legacy cleared shells — What Problem This Solves Upgrading to the 2026.8.1 line (session-entry-validity projection) can wedge the gateway in an unrecoverable SessionCanonicalKeyMigrationRequiredError loop: 1....
- Add Planning Knowledge retrieval plugin — What Problem This Solves OpenClaw main lacks the verified read-only Planning Knowledge retrieval extension. This change restores a current-main-compatible plugin so OpenClaw can query the private...
- fix: report the real session store path in health — What Problem This Solves Fixes an issue where openclaw health reported a legacy sessions/sessions.json path even though it read the session count from the per-agent SQLite database. Operators...
- fix(ui): reconcile every null tombstone and align session sort with the gateway — What Problem This Solves The Control UI's sessions.changed merge deleted null-tombstoned fields from a hand-maintained eleven-field list while the gateway's tombstone policy...
- fix(ui): stop per-message branch-list polling and unlatch transient branch failures — What Problem This Solves Four coupled defects around the chat branch dropdown, found by round-5 web-UI QA: 1. Per-message branch polling with O(transcript) gateway cost. Every persisted...
- fix(signal): deliver outbound attachments as data URIs to external-native daemons (#123815) — What Problem Fixes #123815. Outbound Signal attachments are handed to signal-cli as a gateway-local filesystem path (extensions/signal/src/send.ts → attachments = [resolved.path]). The staged file...
- fix(memory-wiki): scope source-sync ownership by import binding — What Problem This Solves Fixes #118370. Memory Wiki source-sync ownership rows were keyed only by the canonical physical source path. Importing the same file through both bridge and unsafe-local...
- Codex subagents spawned via sessions_spawn lose all native tools when subagent deny policy is non-empty — Bug type Behavior bug. Plugin-harness sub-agents (Codex, Copilot, and other harnesses registered via registerAgentHarness) receive zero native tools (read, write, edit, exec, apply_patch, process)...
- [Feature]: Add automated Cargo updates for the shipped Linux app — Summary Add an explicit automated update path for the shipped Linux app's Cargo dependencies. Problem to solve The Linux Tauri app has a tracked Rust manifest and lock at apps/linux/src-tauri, and...
- fix(workboard): finalize running execution on terminal status transitions — Closes #122911 What Problem This Solves A Workboard card that reached a terminal-ish status (done/review) while its execution record was still running silently consumed its owner's dispatch slot...
- [Bug]: sessions_send-triggered agent sessions inherit defaults.timeoutSeconds, ignoring target agent's heartbeat.timeoutSeconds — Bug type Behavior bug (incorrect output/state without crash) Summary When an agent session is created via sessions_send (agent-to-agent dispatch), the run timeout is resolved from...
- [Feature]: Skip hatch BOOTSTRAP/generic SOUL when agent persona is preconfigured — Summary Allow operators who already ship a per-agent persona (SOUL/IDENTITY/USER) to create or bind a secondary agent without OpenClaw first filling the empty workspace with the default hatch...
- [Feature]: Idea Shower — Parallel thought collector while Agent is working — Problem When an Agent is executing a task (which can take seconds to minutes), the current interaction model forces users into a serial workflow: 1. Interrupt the Agent with a new message, or 2....
- fix(feishu): send caption text before media in card+media payloads — What Problem This Solves When a Feishu outbound payload rendered to a card (presentation/interactive/native-card) and carried media, the media was sent through an inline send callback that only...
- [Feature]: Make channel runtime-context registration owner-bound and fail-closed — Summary Add host-bound provider/account ownership and stable conflict/error semantics to the public channel runtime-context registry. Problem to solve openclaw/plugin-sdk/channel-runtime-context...
- Feature request: localize hardcoded approval UI strings (e.g. "Plugin approval required") — Summary User-facing approval strings such as Plugin approval required are hardcoded in English inside the compiled distribution (e.g. dist/approval-reaction-runtime-.js,...
