 ### Fixes
 
 - Channels/streaming: keep `streaming.progress.toolProgress` scoped to progress draft mode, so disabling compact progress lines does not silence partial/block preview tool updates. Thanks @vincentkoc.
+- Plugins/update: treat OpenClaw stable correction versions like `2026.5.3-1` as stable releases for npm installs, plugin updates, and bundled-version comparisons, so `latest` can advance official plugins without prerelease opt-in. Thanks @vincentkoc.
 - Control UI: point the Appearance tweakcn browse action and docs at the live tweakcn editor route instead of the removed `/themes` page. Fixes #77048.
 - Control UI: render Dream Diary prose through the sanitized markdown pipeline, so diary bold/italic/header markdown no longer appears as literal source text. Fixes #62413.
 - Control UI: render tool results whose output arrives as text-block arrays and give expanded tool output a scrollable block, so read/exec output remains visible in WebChat. Fixes #77054.

+    Bare specs and `@latest` stay on the stable track. OpenClaw date-stamped correction versions such as `2026.5.3-1` are stable releases for this check. If npm resolves either of those to a prerelease, OpenClaw stops and asks you to opt in explicitly with a prerelease tag such as `@beta`/`@rc` or an exact prerelease version such as `@1.2.3-beta.4`.
 
     If a bare install spec matches an official plugin id (for example `diffs`), OpenClaw installs the catalog entry directly. To install an npm package with the same name, use an explicit scoped spec (for example `@scope/diffs`).
