 ### Fixes
 
+- Exec/YOLO: stop rejecting gateway-host exec in `security=full` plus `ask=off` mode via the Python/Node script preflight hardening path, so promptless YOLO exec once again runs direct interpreter stdin and heredoc forms such as `node <<'NODE' ... NODE`.
 - fix(qqbot): add SSRF guard to direct-upload URL paths in uploadC2CMedia and uploadGroupMedia [AI-assisted]. (#69595) Thanks @pgondhi987.
 - fix(gateway): enforce allowRequestSessionKey gate on template-rendered mapping sessionKeys. (#69381) Thanks @pgondhi987.
 - Webchat/images: treat inline image attachments as media for empty-turn gating while still ignoring metadata-only blank turns. (#69474) Thanks @Jaswir.

+- In YOLO mode, OpenClaw does not add a separate heuristic command-obfuscation approval gate or script-preflight rejection layer on top of the configured host exec policy.
 - `auto` does not make gateway routing a free override from a sandboxed session. A per-call `host=node` request is allowed from `auto`, and `host=gateway` is only allowed from `auto` when no sandbox runtime is active. If you want a stable non-auto default, set `tools.exec.host` or use `/exec host=...` explicitly.
 
 If you want a more conservative setup, tighten either layer back to `allowlist` / `on-miss`

 - `tools.exec.ask` (default: `off`)
 - No-approval host exec is the default for gateway + node. If you want approvals/allowlist behavior, tighten both `tools.exec.*` and the host `~/.openclaw/exec-approvals.json`; see [Exec approvals](/tools/exec-approvals#no-approval-yolo-mode).
 - YOLO comes from the host-policy defaults (`security=full`, `ask=off`), not from `host=auto`. If you want to force gateway or node routing, set `tools.exec.host` or use `/exec host=...`.

 - `tools.exec.node` (default: unset)
 - `tools.exec.strictInlineEval` (default: false): when true, inline interpreter eval forms such as `python -c`, `node -e`, `ruby -e`, `perl -e`, `php -r`, `lua -e`, and `osascript -e` always require explicit approval. `allow-always` can still persist benign interpreter/script invocations, but inline-eval forms still prompt each time.
 - `tools.exec.pathPrepend`: list of directories to prepend to `PATH` for exec runs (gateway + sandbox only).
