Changes

    -
  • Provider/Mistral: add support for the Mistral provider, including memory embeddings and voice support. (#23845) Thanks @vincentkoc.
    • -
  • Update/Core: add an optional built-in auto-updater for package installs (update.auto.*), default-off, with stable rollout delay+jitter and beta hourly cadence.
    • -
  • CLI/Update: add openclaw update --dry-run to preview channel/tag/target/restart actions without mutating config, installing, syncing plugins, or restarting.
    • -
  • Config/UI: add tag-aware settings filtering and broaden config labels/help copy so fields are easier to discover and understand in the dashboard config screen.
    • -
  • Channels/Synology Chat: add a native Synology Chat channel plugin with webhook ingress, direct-message routing, outbound send/media support, per-account config, and DM policy controls. (#23012)
    • -
  • iOS/Talk: prefetch TTS segments and suppress expected speech-cancellation errors for smoother talk playback. (#22833) Thanks @ngutman.
    • -
  • Memory/FTS: add Spanish and Portuguese stop-word filtering for query expansion in FTS-only search mode, improving conversational recall for both languages. Thanks @vincentkoc.
    • -
  • Memory/FTS: add Japanese-aware query expansion tokenization and stop-word filtering (including mixed-script terms like ASCII + katakana) for FTS-only search mode. Thanks @vincentkoc.
    • -
  • Memory/FTS: add Korean stop-word filtering and particle-aware keyword extraction (including mixed Korean/English stems) for query expansion in FTS-only search mode. (#18899) Thanks @ruypang.
    • -
  • Memory/FTS: add Arabic stop-word filtering for query expansion in FTS-only search mode to reduce conversational filler in Arabic memory searches. Thanks @vincentkoc.
    • -
  • Discord/Allowlist: canonicalize resolved Discord allowlist names to IDs and split resolution flow for clearer fail-closed behavior.
    • -
  • Channels/Config: unify channel preview streaming config handling with a shared resolver and canonical migration path.
    • -
  • Gateway/Auth: unify call/probe/status/auth credential-source precedence on shared resolver helpers, with table-driven parity coverage across gateway entrypoints.
    • -
  • Gateway/Auth: refactor gateway credential resolution and websocket auth handshake paths to use shared typed auth contexts, including explicit auth.deviceToken support in connect frames and tests.
    • -
  • Skills: remove bundled food-order skill from this repo; manage/install it from ClawHub instead.
    • -
  • Docs/Subagents: make thread-bound session guidance channel-first instead of Discord-specific, and list thread-supporting channels explicitly. (#23589) Thanks @osolmaz.
    • +
  • Auto-reply/Abort shortcuts: expand standalone stop phrases (stop openclaw, stop action, stop run, stop agent, please stop, and related variants), accept trailing punctuation (for example STOP OPENCLAW!!!), add multilingual stop keywords (including ES/FR/ZH/HI/AR/JP/DE/PT/RU forms), and treat exact do not do that as a stop trigger while preserving strict standalone matching. (#25103) Thanks @steipete and @vincentkoc.
    • +
  • Android/App UX: ship a native four-step onboarding flow, move post-onboarding into a five-tab shell (Connect, Chat, Voice, Screen, Settings), add a full Connect setup/manual mode screen, and refresh Android chat/settings surfaces for the new navigation model.
    • +
  • Talk/Gateway config: add provider-agnostic Talk configuration with legacy compatibility, and expose gateway Talk ElevenLabs config metadata for setup/status surfaces.
    • +
  • Security/Audit: add security.trust_model.multi_user_heuristic to flag likely shared-user ingress and clarify the personal-assistant trust model, with hardening guidance for intentional multi-user setups (sandbox.mode="all", workspace-scoped FS, reduced tool surface, no personal/private identities on shared runtimes).
    • +
  • Dependencies: refresh key runtime and tooling packages across the workspace (Bedrock SDK, pi runtime stack, OpenAI, Google auth, and oxlint/oxfmt), while intentionally keeping @buape/carbon pinned.

Breaking

    -
  • BREAKING: tool-failure replies now hide raw error details by default. OpenClaw still sends a failure summary, but detailed error suffixes (for example provider/runtime messages and local path fragments) now require /verbose on or /verbose full.
    • -
  • BREAKING: CLI local onboarding now sets session.dmScope to per-channel-peer by default for new/implicit DM scope configuration. If you depend on shared DM continuity across senders, explicitly set session.dmScope to main. (#23468) Thanks @bmendonca3.
    • -
  • BREAKING: unify channel preview-streaming config to channels..streaming with enum values off | partial | block | progress, and move Slack native stream toggle to channels.slack.nativeStreaming. Legacy keys (streamMode, Slack boolean streaming) are still read and migrated by openclaw doctor --fix, but canonical saved config/docs now use the unified names.
    • -
  • BREAKING: remove legacy Gateway device-auth signature v1. Device-auth clients must now sign v2 payloads with the per-connection connect.challenge nonce and send device.nonce; nonce-less connects are rejected.
    • +
  • BREAKING: Heartbeat delivery now blocks direct/DM targets when destination parsing identifies a direct chat (for example user:, Telegram user chat IDs, or WhatsApp direct numbers/JIDs). Heartbeat runs still execute, but direct-message delivery is skipped and only non-DM destinations (for example channel/group targets) can receive outbound heartbeat messages.
    • +
  • BREAKING: Security/Sandbox: block Docker network: "container:" namespace-join mode by default for sandbox and sandbox-browser containers. To keep that behavior intentionally, set agents.defaults.sandbox.docker.dangerouslyAllowContainerNamespaceJoin: true (break-glass). Thanks @tdjackey for reporting.

Fixes

    -
  • Security/CLI: redact sensitive values in openclaw config get output before printing config paths, preventing credential leakage to terminal output/history. (#13683) Thanks @SleuthCo.
    • -
  • Install/Discord Voice: make @discordjs/opus an optional dependency so openclaw install/update no longer hard-fails when native Opus builds fail, while keeping opusscript as the runtime fallback decoder for Discord voice flows. (#23737, #23733, #23703) Thanks @jeadland, @Sheetaa, and @Breakyman.
    • -
  • Docker/Setup: precreate $OPENCLAW_CONFIG_DIR/identity during docker-setup.sh so CLI commands that need device identity (for example devices list) avoid EACCES ... /home/node/.openclaw/identity failures on restrictive bind mounts. (#23948) Thanks @ackson-beep.
    • -
  • Exec/Background: stop applying the default exec timeout to background sessions (background: true or explicit yieldMs) when no explicit timeout is set, so long-running background jobs are no longer terminated at the default timeout boundary. (#23303)
    • -
  • Slack/Threading: sessions: keep parent-session forking and thread-history context active beyond first turn by removing first-turn-only gates in session init, thread-history fetch, and reply prompt context injection. (#23843, #23090) Thanks @vincentkoc and @Taskle.
    • -
  • Slack/Threading: respect replyToMode when Slack auto-populates top-level thread_ts, and ignore inline replyToId directive tags when replyToMode is off so thread forcing stays disabled unless explicitly configured. (#23839, #23320, #23513) Thanks @vincentkoc and @dorukardahan.
    • -
  • Slack/Extension: forward message read threadId to readMessages and use delivery-context threadId as outbound thread_ts fallback so extension replies/reads stay in the correct Slack thread. (#22216, #22485, #23836) Thanks @vincentkoc, @lan17 and @dorukardahan.
    • -
  • Slack/Upload: resolve bare user IDs (U-prefix) to DM channel IDs via conversations.open before calling files.uploadV2, which rejects non-channel IDs. chat.postMessage tolerates user IDs directly, but files.uploadV2 → completeUploadExternal validates channel_id against ^[CGDZ][A-Z0-9]{8,}$, causing invalid_arguments when agents reply with media to DM conversations.
    • -
  • Webchat/Chat: apply assistant final payload messages directly to chat state so sent turns render without waiting for a full history refresh cycle. (#14928) Thanks @BradGroux.
    • -
  • Webchat/Chat: for out-of-band final events (for example tool-call side runs), append provided final assistant payloads directly instead of forcing a transient history reset. (#11139) Thanks @AkshayNavle.
    • -
  • Webchat/Performance: reload chat.history after final events only when the final payload lacks a renderable assistant message, avoiding expensive full-history refreshes on normal turns. (#20588) Thanks @amzzzzzzz.
    • -
  • Webchat/Sessions: preserve external session routing metadata when internal chat.send turns run under webchat, so explicit channel-keyed sessions (for example Telegram) no longer get rewritten to webchat and misroute follow-up delivery. (#23258) Thanks @binary64.
    • -
  • Webchat/Sessions: preserve existing session label across /new and /reset rollovers so reset sessions remain discoverable in session history lists. (#23755) Thanks @ThunderStormer.
    • -
  • Gateway/Chat UI: strip inline reply/audio directive tags from non-streaming final webchat broadcasts (including chat.inject) while preserving empty-string message content when tags are the entire reply. (#23298) Thanks @SidQin-cyber.
    • -
  • Chat/UI: strip inline reply/audio directive tags ([[reply_to_current]], [[reply_to:]], [[audio_as_voice]]) from displayed chat history, live chat event output, and session preview snippets so control tags no longer leak into user-visible surfaces.
    • -
  • Telegram/Media: send a user-facing Telegram reply when media download fails (non-size errors) instead of silently dropping the message.
    • -
  • Telegram/Webhook: keep webhook monitors alive until gateway abort signals fire, preventing false channel exits and immediate webhook auto-restart loops.
    • -
  • Telegram/Polling: retry recoverable setup-time network failures in monitor startup and await runner teardown before retry to avoid overlapping polling sessions.
    • -
  • Telegram/Polling: clear Telegram webhooks (deleteWebhook) before starting long-poll getUpdates, including retry handling for transient cleanup failures.
    • -
  • Telegram/Webhook: add channels.telegram.webhookPort config support and pass it through plugin startup wiring to the monitor listener.
    • -
  • Browser/Extension Relay: refactor the MV3 worker to preserve debugger attachments across relay drops, auto-reconnect with bounded backoff+jitter, persist and rehydrate attached tab state via chrome.storage.session, recover from target_closed navigation detaches, guard stale socket handlers, enforce per-tab operation locks and per-request timeouts, and add lifecycle keepalive/badge refresh hooks (alarms, webNavigation). (#15099, #6175, #8468, #9807)
    • -
  • Browser/Relay: treat extension websocket as connected only when OPEN, allow reconnect when a stale CLOSING/CLOSED extension socket lingers, and guard stale socket message/close handlers so late events cannot clear active relay state; includes regression coverage for live-duplicate 409 rejection and immediate reconnect-after-close races. (#15099, #18698, #20688)
    • -
  • Browser/Remote CDP: extend stale-target recovery so ensureTabAvailable() now reuses the sole available tab for remote CDP profiles (same behavior as extension profiles) while preserving strict tab not found errors when multiple tabs exist; includes remote-profile regression tests. (#15989)
    • -
  • Gateway/Pairing: treat operator.admin as satisfying other operator.* scope checks during device-auth verification so local CLI/TUI sessions stop entering pairing-required loops for pairing/approval-scoped commands. (#22062, #22193, #21191) Thanks @Botaccess, @jhartshorn, and @ctbritt.
    • -
  • Gateway/Pairing: auto-approve loopback scope-upgrade pairing requests (including device-token reconnects) so local clients do not disconnect on pairing-required scope elevation. (#23708) Thanks @widingmarcus-cyber.
    • -
  • Gateway/Scopes: include operator.read and operator.write in default operator connect scope bundles across CLI, Control UI, and macOS clients so write-scoped announce/sub-agent follow-up calls no longer hit pairing required disconnects on loopback gateways. (#22582) thanks @YuzuruS.
    • -
  • Gateway/Pairing: treat operator.admin pairing tokens as satisfying operator.write requests so legacy devices stop looping through scope-upgrade prompts introduced in 2026.2.19. (#23125, #23006) Thanks @vignesh07.
    • -
  • Gateway/Restart: fix restart-loop edge cases by keeping openclaw.mjs -> dist/entry.js bootstrap detection explicit, reacquiring the gateway lock for in-process restart fallback paths, and tightening restart-loop regression coverage. (#23416) Thanks @jeffwnli.
    • -
  • Gateway/Lock: use optional gateway-port reachability as a primary stale-lock liveness signal (and wire gateway run-loop lock acquisition to the resolved port), reducing false "already running" lockouts after unclean exits. (#23760) Thanks @Operative-001.
    • -
  • Delivery/Queue: quarantine queue entries immediately on known permanent delivery errors (for example invalid recipients or missing conversation references) by moving them to failed/ instead of retrying on every restart. (#23794) Thanks @aldoeliacim.
    • -
  • Cron/Status: split execution outcome (lastRunStatus) from delivery outcome (lastDeliveryStatus) in persisted cron state, finished events, and run history so failed/unknown announcement delivery is visible without conflating it with run errors.
    • -
  • Cron/Delivery: route text-only announce jobs with explicit thread/topic targets through direct outbound delivery so forum/thread destinations do not get dropped by intermediary announce turns. (#23841) Thanks @AndrewArto.
    • -
  • Cron: honor cron.maxConcurrentRuns in the timer loop so due jobs can execute up to the configured parallelism instead of always running serially. (#11595) Thanks @Takhoffman.
    • -
  • Cron/Run: enforce the same per-job timeout guard for manual cron.run executions as timer-driven runs, including abort propagation for isolated agent jobs, so forced runs cannot wedge indefinitely. (#23704) Thanks @tkuehnl.
    • -
  • Cron/Run: persist the manual-run runningAtMs marker before releasing the cron lock so overlapping timer ticks cannot start the same job concurrently.
    • -
  • Cron/Startup: enforce per-job timeout guards for startup catch-up replay runs so missed isolated jobs cannot hang indefinitely during gateway boot recovery.
    • -
  • Cron/Main session: honor abort/timeout signals while retrying wakeMode=now heartbeat contention loops so main-target cron runs stop promptly instead of waiting through the full busy-retry window.
    • -
  • Cron/Schedule: for every jobs, prefer lastRunAtMs + everyMs when still in the future after restarts, then fall back to anchor scheduling for catch-up windows, so NEXT timing matches the last successful cadence. (#22895) Thanks @SidQin-cyber.
    • -
  • Cron/Service: execute manual cron.run jobs outside the cron lock (while still persisting started/finished state atomically) so cron.list and cron.status remain responsive during long forced runs. (#23628) Thanks @dsgraves.
    • -
  • Cron/Timer: keep a watchdog recheck timer armed while onTimer is actively executing so the scheduler continues polling even if a due-run tick stalls for an extended period. (#23628) Thanks @dsgraves.
    • -
  • Cron/Run log: clean up settled per-path run-log write queue entries so long-running cron uptime does not retain stale promise bookkeeping in memory.
    • -
  • Cron/Isolation: force fresh session IDs for isolated cron runs so sessionTarget="isolated" executions never reuse prior run context. (#23470) Thanks @echoVic.
    • -
  • Plugins/Install: strip workspace:* devDependency entries from copied plugin manifests before npm install --omit=dev, preventing EUNSUPPORTEDPROTOCOL install failures for npm-published channel plugins (including Feishu and MS Teams).
    • -
  • Feishu/Plugins: restore bundled Feishu SDK availability for global installs and strip openclaw: workspace:* from plugin devDependencies during plugin-version sync so npm-installed Feishu plugins do not fail dependency install. (#23611, #23645, #23603)
    • -
  • Config/Channels: auto-enable built-in channels by writing channels..enabled=true (not plugins.entries.), and stop adding built-ins to plugins.allow, preventing plugins.entries.telegram: plugin not found validation failures.
    • -
  • Config/Channels: when plugins.allow is active, auto-enable/enable flows now also allowlist configured built-in channels so channels..enabled=true cannot remain blocked by restrictive plugin allowlists.
    • -
  • Plugins/Discovery: ignore scanned extension backup/disabled directory patterns (for example .backup-*, .bak, .disabled*) and move updater backup directories under .openclaw-install-backups, preventing duplicate plugin-id collisions from archived copies.
    • -
  • Plugins/CLI: make openclaw plugins enable and plugin install/link flows update allowlists via shared plugin-enable policy so enabled plugins are not left disabled by allowlist mismatch. (#23190) Thanks @downwind7clawd-ctrl.
    • -
  • Security/Voice Call: harden media stream WebSocket handling against pre-auth idle-connection DoS by adding strict pre-start timeouts, pending/per-IP connection limits, and total connection caps for streaming endpoints. This ships in the next npm release. Thanks @jiseoung for reporting.
    • -
  • Security/Sessions: redact sensitive token patterns from sessions_history tool output and surface contentRedacted metadata when masking occurs. (#16928) Thanks @aether-ai-agent.
    • -
  • Security/Exec: stop trusting PATH-derived directories for safe-bin allowlist checks, add explicit tools.exec.safeBinTrustedDirs, and pin safe-bin shell execution to resolved absolute executable paths to prevent binary-shadowing approval bypasses. This ships in the next npm release. Thanks @tdjackey for reporting.
    • -
  • Security/Elevated: match tools.elevated.allowFrom against sender identities only (not recipient ctx.To), closing a recipient-token bypass for /elevated authorization. This ships in the next npm release. Thanks @jiseoung for reporting.
    • -
  • Security/Feishu: enforce ID-only allowlist matching for DM/group sender authorization, normalize Feishu ID prefixes during checks, and ignore mutable display names so display-name collisions cannot satisfy allowlist entries. This ships in the next npm release. Thanks @jiseoung for reporting.
    • -
  • Security/Group policy: harden channels.*.groups.*.toolsBySender matching by requiring explicit sender-key types (id:, e164:, username:, name:), preventing cross-identifier collisions across mutable/display-name fields while keeping legacy untyped keys on a deprecated ID-only path. This ships in the next npm release. Thanks @jiseoung for reporting.
    • -
  • Channels/Group policy: fail closed when groupPolicy: "allowlist" is set without explicit groups, honor account-level groupPolicy overrides, and enforce groupPolicy: "disabled" as a hard group block. (#22215) Thanks @etereo.
    • -
  • Telegram/Discord extensions: propagate trusted mediaLocalRoots through extension outbound sendMedia options so extension direct-send media paths honor agent-scoped local-media allowlists. (#20029, #21903, #23227)
    • -
  • Agents/Exec: honor explicit agent context when resolving tools.exec defaults for runs with opaque/non-agent session keys, so per-agent host/security/ask policies are applied consistently. (#11832)
    • -
  • Doctor/Security: add an explicit warning that approvals.exec.enabled=false disables forwarding only, while enforcement remains driven by host-local exec-approvals.json policy. (#15047)
    • -
  • Sandbox/Docker: default sandbox container user to the workspace owner uid:gid when agents.*.sandbox.docker.user is unset, fixing non-root gateway file-tool permissions under capability-dropped containers. (#20979)
    • -
  • Plugins/Media sandbox: propagate trusted mediaLocalRoots through plugin action dispatch (including Discord/Telegram action adapters) so plugin send paths enforce the same agent-scoped local-media sandbox roots as core outbound sends. (#20258, #22718)
    • -
  • Agents/Workspace guard: map sandbox container-workdir file-tool paths (for example /workspace/... and file:///workspace/...) to host workspace roots before workspace-only validation, preventing false Path escapes sandbox root rejections for sandbox file tools. (#9560)
    • -
  • Gateway/Exec approvals: expire approval requests immediately when no approval-capable gateway clients are connected and no forwarding targets are available, avoiding delayed approvals after restarts/offline approver windows. (#22144)
    • -
  • Security/Exec approvals: when approving wrapper commands with allow-always in allowlist mode, persist inner executable paths for known dispatch wrappers (env, nice, nohup, stdbuf, timeout) and fail closed (no persisted entry) when wrapper unwrapping is not safe, preventing wrapper-path approval bypasses. Thanks @tdjackey for reporting.
    • -
  • Node/macOS exec host: default headless macOS node system.run to local execution and only route through the companion app when OPENCLAW_NODE_EXEC_HOST=app is explicitly set, avoiding companion-app filesystem namespace mismatches during exec. (#23547)
    • -
  • Sandbox/Media: map container workspace paths (/workspace/... and file:///workspace/...) back to the host sandbox root for outbound media validation, preventing false deny errors for sandbox-generated local media. (#23083) Thanks @echo931.
    • -
  • Sandbox/Docker: apply custom bind mounts after workspace mounts and prioritize bind-source resolution on overlapping paths, so explicit workspace binds are no longer ignored. (#22669) Thanks @tasaankaeris.
    • -
  • Exec approvals/Forwarding: restore Discord text forwarding when component approvals are not configured, and carry request snapshots through resolve events so resolved notices still forward after cache misses/restarts. (#22988) Thanks @bubmiller.
    • -
  • Control UI/WebSocket: stop and clear the browser gateway client on UI teardown so remounts cannot leave orphan websocket clients that create duplicate active connections. (#23422) Thanks @floatinggball-design.
    • -
  • Control UI/WebSocket: send a stable per-tab instanceId in websocket connect frames so reconnect cycles keep a consistent client identity for diagnostics and presence tracking. (#23616) Thanks @zq58855371-ui.
    • -
  • Config/Memory: allow "mistral" in agents.defaults.memorySearch.provider and agents.defaults.memorySearch.fallback schema validation. (#14934) Thanks @ThomsenDrake.
    • -
  • Feishu/Commands: in group chats, command authorization now falls back to top-level channels.feishu.allowFrom when per-group allowFrom is not set, so /command no longer gets blocked by an unintended empty allowlist. (#23756)
    • -
  • Dev tooling: prevent CLAUDE.md symlink target regressions by excluding CLAUDE symlink sentinels from oxfmt and marking them -text in .gitattributes, so formatter/EOL normalization cannot reintroduce trailing-newline targets. Thanks @vincentkoc.
    • -
  • Agents/Compaction: restore embedded compaction safeguard/context-pruning extension loading in production by wiring bundled extension factories into the resource loader instead of runtime file-path resolution. (#22349) Thanks @Glucksberg.
    • -
  • Feishu/Media: for inbound video messages that include both file_key (video) and image_key (thumbnail), prefer file_key when downloading media so video attachments are saved instead of silently failing on thumbnail keys. (#23633)
    • -
  • Hooks/Loader: avoid redundant hook-module recompilation on gateway restart by skipping cache-busting for bundled hooks and using stable file metadata keys (mtime+size) for mutable workspace/managed/plugin hook imports. (#16953) Thanks @mudrii.
    • -
  • Hooks/Cron: suppress duplicate main-session events for delivered hook turns and mark SILENT_REPLY_TOKEN (NO_REPLY) early exits as delivered to prevent hook context pollution. (#20678) Thanks @JonathanWorks.
    • -
  • Providers/OpenRouter: inject cache_control on system prompts for OpenRouter Anthropic models to improve prompt-cache reuse. (#17473) Thanks @rrenamed.
    • -
  • Installer/Smoke tests: remove legacy OPENCLAW_USE_GUM overrides from docker install-smoke runs so tests exercise installer auto TTY detection behavior directly.
    • -
  • Providers/OpenRouter: allow pass-through OpenRouter and Opencode model IDs in live model filtering so custom routed model IDs are treated as modern refs. (#14312) Thanks @Joly0.
    • -
  • Providers/OpenRouter: default reasoning to enabled when the selected model advertises reasoning: true and no session/directive override is set. (#22513) Thanks @zwffff.
    • -
  • Providers/OpenRouter: map /think levels to reasoning.effort in embedded runs while preserving explicit reasoning.max_tokens payloads. (#17236) Thanks @robbyczgw-cla.
    • -
  • Providers/OpenRouter: preserve stored session provider when model IDs are vendor-prefixed (for example, anthropic/...) so follow-up turns do not incorrectly route to direct provider APIs. (#22753) Thanks @dndodson.
    • -
  • Providers/OpenRouter: preserve the required openrouter/ prefix for OpenRouter-native model IDs during model-ref normalization. (#12942) Thanks @omair445.
    • -
  • Providers/OpenRouter: pass through provider routing parameters from model params.provider to OpenRouter request payloads for provider selection controls. (#17148) Thanks @carrotRakko.
    • -
  • Providers/OpenRouter: preserve model allowlist entries containing OpenRouter preset paths (for example openrouter/@preset/...) by treating /model ...@profile auth-profile parsing as a suffix-only override. (#14120) Thanks @NotMainstream.
    • -
  • Cron/Auth: propagate auth-profile resolution to isolated cron sessions so provider API keys are resolved the same way as main sessions, fixing 401 errors when using providers configured via auth-profiles. (#20689) Thanks @lailoo.
    • -
  • Cron/Follow-up: pass resolved agentDir through isolated cron and queued follow-up embedded runs so auth/profile lookups stay scoped to the correct agent directory. (#22845) Thanks @seilk.
    • -
  • Agents/Media: route tool-result MEDIA: extraction through shared parser validation so malformed prose like MEDIA:-prefixed ... is no longer treated as a local file path (prevents Telegram ENOENT tool-error overrides). (#18780) Thanks @HOYALIM.
    • -
  • Logging: cap single log-file size with logging.maxFileBytes (default 500 MB) and suppress additional writes after cap hit to prevent disk exhaustion from repeated error storms.
    • -
  • Memory/Remote HTTP: centralize remote memory HTTP calls behind a shared guarded helper (withRemoteHttpResponse) so embeddings and batch flows use one request/release path.
    • -
  • Memory/Embeddings: apply configured remote-base host pinning (allowedHostnames) across OpenAI/Voyage/Gemini embedding requests to keep private/self-hosted endpoints working without cross-host drift. (#18198) Thanks @ianpcook.
    • -
  • Memory/Batch: route OpenAI/Voyage/Gemini batch upload/create/status/download requests through the same guarded HTTP path for consistent SSRF policy enforcement.
    • -
  • Memory/Index: detect memory source-set changes (for example enabling sessions after an existing memory-only index) and trigger a full reindex so existing session transcripts are indexed without requiring --force. (#17576) Thanks @TarsAI-Agent.
    • -
  • Memory/Embeddings: enforce a per-input 8k safety cap before embedding batching and apply a conservative 2k fallback limit for local providers without declared input limits, preventing oversized session/memory chunks from triggering provider context-size failures during sync/indexing. (#6016) Thanks @batumilove.
    • -
  • Memory/QMD: on Windows, resolve bare qmd/mcporter command names to npm shim executables (.cmd) before spawning, so qmd boot updates and mcporter-backed searches no longer fail with spawn ... ENOENT on default npm installs. (#23899) Thanks @arcbuilder-ai.
    • -
  • Memory/QMD: parse plain-text qmd collection list --json output when older qmd builds ignore JSON mode, and retry memory searches once after re-ensuring managed collections when qmd returns Collection not found .... (#23613) Thanks @leozhucn.
    • -
  • Signal/RPC: guard malformed Signal RPC JSON responses with a clear status-scoped error and add regression coverage for invalid JSON responses. (#22995) Thanks @adhitShet.
    • -
  • Gateway/Subagents: guard gateway and subagent session-key/message trim paths against undefined inputs to prevent early Cannot read properties of undefined (reading 'trim') crashes during subagent spawn and wait flows.
    • -
  • Agents/Workspace: guard resolveUserPath against undefined/null input to prevent Cannot read properties of undefined (reading 'trim') crashes when workspace paths are missing in embedded runner flows.
    • -
  • Auth/Profiles: keep active cooldownUntil/disabledUntil windows immutable across retries so mid-window failures cannot extend recovery indefinitely; only recompute a backoff window after the previous deadline has expired. This resolves cron/inbound retry loops that could trap gateways until manual usageStats cleanup. (#23516, #23536) Thanks @arosstale.

  • Channels/Security: fail closed on missing provider group policy config by defaulting runtime group policy to allowlist (instead of inheriting channels.defaults.groupPolicy) when channels. is absent across message channels, and align runtime + security warnings/docs to the same fallback behavior (Slack, Discord, iMessage, Telegram, WhatsApp, Signal, LINE, Matrix, Mattermost, Google Chat, IRC, Nextcloud Talk, Feishu, and Zalo user flows; plus Discord message/native-command paths). (#23367) Thanks @bmendonca3.
    • -
  • Gateway/Onboarding: harden remote gateway onboarding defaults and guidance by defaulting discovered direct URLs to wss://, rejecting insecure non-loopback ws:// targets in onboarding validation, and expanding remote-security remediation messaging across gateway client/call/doctor flows.

    • -
  • Gateway/Client: keep cached device-auth tokens on device token mismatch closes when the client used explicit shared token/password credentials, avoiding accidental pairing-token churn during explicit-auth failures.
    • -
  • Node host/Exec: keep strict Windows allowlist behavior for cmd.exe /c shell-wrapper runs, and return explicit approval guidance when blocked (SYSTEM_RUN_DENIED: allowlist miss).
    • -
  • Control UI: show pairing-required guidance (commands + mobile tokenized URL reminder) when the dashboard disconnects with 1008 pairing required.
    • -
  • Security/Audit: add openclaw security audit detection for open group policies that expose runtime/filesystem tools without sandbox/workspace guards (security.exposure.open_groups_with_runtime_or_fs).
    • -

    • -
  • Security/Exec approvals: require explicit safe-bin profiles for tools.exec.safeBins entries in allowlist mode (remove generic safe-bin profile fallback), and add tools.exec.safeBinProfiles for safe custom binaries so unprofiled interpreter-style entries cannot be treated as stdin-safe. This ships in the next npm release. Thanks @tdjackey for reporting.
    • -
  • Security/Channels: harden Slack external menu token handling by switching to CSPRNG tokens, validating token shape, requiring user identity for external option lookups, and avoiding fabricated timestamp trigger_id fallbacks; also switch Tlon Urbit channel IDs to CSPRNG UUIDs, centralize secure ID/token generation via shared infra helpers, and add a guardrail test to block new runtime Date.now()+Math.random() token/id patterns.
    • -
  • Security/Hooks transforms: enforce symlink-safe containment for webhook transform module paths (including hooks.transformsDir and hooks.mappings[].transform.module) by resolving existing-path ancestors via realpath before import, while preserving in-root symlink support; add regression coverage for both escape and allow cases.

    • -
  • Telegram/Replies: normalize file:// and local-path media variants during messaging dedupe so equivalent media paths do not produce duplicate Telegram replies.
    • -
  • Telegram/Replies: extract forwarded-origin context from unified reply targets (reply_to_message and external_reply) so forward+comment metadata is preserved across partial reply shapes. (#9720) thanks @mcaxtr.
    • -

    • -
  • Cron/Scheduling: validate runtime cron expressions before schedule/stagger evaluation so malformed persisted jobs report a clear invalid cron schedule: expr is required error instead of crashing with undefined.trim failures and auto-disable churn. (#23223) Thanks @asimons81.
    • -
  • Memory/QMD: migrate legacy unscoped collection bindings (for example memory-root) to per-agent scoped names (for example memory-root-main) during startup when safe, so QMD-backed memory_search no longer fails with Collection not found after upgrades. (#23228, #20727) Thanks @JLDynamics and @AaronFaby.
    • -

    • -
  • TUI/Input: arm Ctrl+C exit timing when clearing non-empty composer text and add a SIGINT fallback path so double Ctrl+C exits remain responsive during active runs instead of requiring an extra press or appearing stuck. (#23407) Thanks @tinybluedev.
    • -
  • Agents/Fallbacks: treat JSON payloads with type: "api_error" + "Internal server error" as transient failover errors so Anthropic 500-style failures trigger model fallback. (#23193) Thanks @jarvis-lane.

    • -
  • Agents/Replies: emit a default completion acknowledgement (✅ Done.) only for direct/private tool-only completions with no final assistant text, while suppressing synthetic acknowledgements for channel/group sessions and runs that already delivered output via messaging tools. (#22834) Thanks @Oldshue.
    • -
  • Agents/Subagents: honor tools.subagents.tools.alsoAllow and explicit subagent allow entries when resolving built-in subagent deny defaults, so explicitly granted tools (for example sessions_send) are no longer blocked unless re-denied in tools.subagents.tools.deny. (#23359) Thanks @goren-beehero.
    • -
  • Agents/Subagents: make announce call timeouts configurable via agents.defaults.subagents.announceTimeoutMs and restore a 60s default to prevent false timeout failures on slower announce paths. (#22719) Thanks @Valadon.
    • -
  • Agents/Diagnostics: include resolved lifecycle error text in embedded run agent end warnings so UI/TUI “Connection error” runs expose actionable provider failure reasons in gateway logs. (#23054) Thanks @Raize.
    • -
  • Agents/Auth profiles: skip auth-profile cooldown writes for timeout failures in embedded runner rotation so model/network timeouts do not poison same-provider fallback model selection while still allowing in-turn account rotation. (#22622) Thanks @vageeshkumar.
    • -
  • Plugins/Hooks: run legacy before_agent_start once per agent turn and reuse that result across model-resolve and prompt-build compatibility paths, preventing duplicate hook side effects (for example duplicate external API calls). (#23289) Thanks @ksato8710.
    • -
  • Models/Config: default missing Anthropic provider/model api fields to anthropic-messages during config validation so custom relay model entries are preserved instead of being dropped by runtime model registry validation. (#23332) Thanks @bigbigmonkey123.
    • -

    • -
  • Memory/QMD: add optional memory.qmd.mcporter search routing so QMD query/search/vsearch can run through mcporter keep-alive flows (including multi-collection paths) to reduce cold starts, while keeping searches on agent-scoped QMD state for consistent recall. (#19617) Thanks @nicole-luxe and @vignesh07.
    • -

    • -
  • BlueBubbles/Private API cache: treat unknown (null) private-API cache status as disabled for send/attachment/reply flows to avoid stale-cache 500s, and log a warning when reply/effect features are requested while capability is unknown. (#23459) Thanks @echoVic.
    • -
  • BlueBubbles/Webhooks: accept inbound/reaction webhook payloads when BlueBubbles omits handle but provides DM chatGuid, and harden payload extraction for array/string-wrapped message bodies so valid webhook events no longer get rejected as unparseable. (#23275) Thanks @toph31.

This ships in the next npm release. Thanks @tdjackey for reporting.
    • -
  • Network/SSRF: enable autoSelectFamily on pinned undici dispatchers (with attempt timeout) so IPv6-unreachable environments can quickly fall back to IPv4 for guarded fetch paths. (#19950) Thanks @ENAwareness.
    • -
  • Security/Config: make parsed chat allowlist checks fail closed when allowFrom is empty, restoring expected DM/pairing gating.
    • -
  • Security/Exec: in non-default setups that manually add sort to tools.exec.safeBins, block sort --compress-program so allowlist-mode safe-bin checks cannot bypass approval. Thanks @tdjackey for reporting.
    • -
  • Security/Exec approvals: when users choose allow-always for shell-wrapper commands (for example /bin/zsh -lc ...), persist allowlist patterns for the inner executable(s) instead of the wrapper shell binary, preventing accidental broad shell allowlisting in moderate mode. (#23276) Thanks @xrom2863.
    • -
  • Security/Exec: fail closed when tools.exec.host=sandbox is configured/requested but sandbox runtime is unavailable. (#23398) Thanks @bmendonca3.
    • -
  • Security/macOS app beta: enforce path-only system.run allowlist matching (drop basename matches like echo), migrate legacy basename entries to last resolved paths when available, and harden shell-chain handling to fail closed on unsafe parse/control syntax (including quoted command substitution/backticks). This is an optional allowlist-mode feature; default installs remain deny-by-default. This ships in the next npm release. Thanks @tdjackey for reporting.
    • -
  • Security/Agents: auto-generate and persist a dedicated commands.ownerDisplaySecret when commands.ownerDisplay=hash, remove gateway token fallback from owner-ID prompt hashing across CLI and embedded agent runners, and centralize owner-display secret resolution in one shared helper.

    • -
  • Security/Browser relay: harden extension relay auth token handling for /extension and /cdp pathways.
    • -

  • Agents/UI text: stop rewriting normal assistant billing/payment language outside explicit error contexts. (#17834) Thanks @niceysam.
    • +
  • Routing/Session isolation: harden followup routing so explicit cross-channel origin replies never fall back to the active dispatcher on route failure, preserve queued overflow summary routing metadata (channel/to/thread) across followup drain, and prefer originating channel context over internal provider tags for embedded followup runs. This prevents webchat/control-ui context from hijacking Discord-targeted replies in shared sessions. (#25864) Thanks @Gamedesigner.
    • +
  • Security/Routing: fail closed for shared-session cross-channel replies by binding outbound target resolution to the current turn’s source channel metadata (instead of stale session route fallbacks), and wire those turn-source fields through gateway + command delivery planners with regression coverage. (#24571) Thanks @brandonwise.
    • +
  • Heartbeat routing: prevent heartbeat leakage/spam into Discord and other direct-message destinations by blocking direct-chat heartbeat delivery targets and keeping blocked-delivery cron/exec prompts internal-only. (#25871)
    • +
  • Heartbeat defaults/prompts: switch the implicit heartbeat delivery target from last to none (opt-in for external delivery), and use internal-only cron/exec heartbeat prompt wording when delivery is disabled so background checks do not nudge user-facing relay behavior. (#25871, #24638, #25851)
    • +
  • Auto-reply/Heartbeat queueing: drop heartbeat runs when a session already has an active run instead of enqueueing a stale followup, preventing duplicate heartbeat response branches after queue drain. (#25610, #25606) Thanks @mcaxtr.
    • +
  • Cron/Heartbeat delivery: stop inheriting cached session lastThreadId for heartbeat-mode target resolution unless a thread/topic is explicitly requested, so announce-mode cron and heartbeat deliveries stay on top-level destinations instead of leaking into active conversation threads. (#25730) Thanks @markshields-tl.
    • +
  • Messaging tool dedupe: treat originating channel metadata as authoritative for same-target message.send suppression in proactive runs (heartbeat/cron/exec-event), including synthetic-provider contexts, so delivery-mirror transcript entries no longer cause duplicate Telegram sends. (#25835) Thanks @jadeathena84-arch.
    • +
  • Channels/Typing keepalive: refresh channel typing callbacks on a keepalive interval during long replies and clear keepalive timers on idle/cleanup across core + extension dispatcher callsites so typing indicators do not expire mid-inference. (#25886, #25882) Thanks @stakeswky.
    • +
  • Agents/Model fallback: when a run is currently on a configured fallback model, keep traversing the configured fallback chain instead of collapsing straight to primary-only, preventing dead-end failures when primary stays in cooldown. (#25922, #25912) Thanks @Taskle.
    • +
  • Gateway/Models: honor explicit agents.defaults.models allowlist refs even when bundled model catalog data is stale, synthesize missing allowlist entries in models.list, and allow sessions.patch//model selection for those refs without false model not allowed errors. (#20291) Thanks @kensipe, @nikolasdehor, and @vincentkoc.
    • +
  • Control UI/Agents: inherit agents.defaults.model.fallbacks in the Overview fallback input when no per-agent model entry exists, while preserving explicit per-agent fallback overrides (including empty lists). (#25729, #25710) Thanks @Suko.
    • +
  • Automation/Subagent/Cron reliability: honor ANNOUNCE_SKIP in sessions_spawn completion/direct announce flows (no user-visible token leaks), add transient direct-announce retries for channel unavailability (for example WhatsApp listener reconnect windows), and include cron in the coding tool profile so /tools/invoke can execute cron actions when explicitly allowed by gateway policy. (#25800, #25656, #25842, #25813, #25822, #25821) Thanks @astra-fer, @aaajiao, @dwight11232-coder, @kevinWangSheng, @widingmarcus-cyber, and @stakeswky.
    • +
  • Discord/Voice reliability: restore runtime DAVE dependency (@snazzah/davey), add configurable DAVE join options (channels.discord.voice.daveEncryption and channels.discord.voice.decryptionFailureTolerance), clean up voice listeners/session teardown, guard against stale connection events, and trigger controlled rejoin recovery after repeated decrypt failures to improve inbound STT stability under DAVE receive errors. (#25861, #25372, #24883, #24825, #23890, #23105, #22961, #23421, #23278, #23032)

  • Discord/Proxy + reactions + model picker: thread channel proxy fetch into inbound media/sticker downloads, use proxy-aware gateway metadata fetch for WSL/corporate proxy setups, wire messages.statusReactions.{emojis,timing} into Discord reaction lifecycle control, and compact model-picker custom_id keys to stay under Discord's 100-char limit while keeping backward-compatible parsing. (#25232, #25507, #25564, #25695) Thanks @openperf, @chilu18, @Yipsh, @lbo728, and @s1korrrr.
    • +
  • WhatsApp/Web reconnect: treat close status 440 as non-retryable (including string-form status values), stop reconnect loops immediately, and emit operator guidance to relink after resolving session conflicts. (#25858) Thanks @markmusson.
    • +
  • WhatsApp/Reasoning safety: suppress outbound payloads marked as reasoning and hard-drop text payloads that begin with Reasoning: before WhatsApp delivery, preventing hidden thinking blocks from leaking to end users through final-message paths. (#25804, #25214, #24328)
    • +
  • Matrix/Read receipts: send read receipts as soon as Matrix messages arrive (before handler pipeline work), so clients no longer show long-lived unread/sent states while replies are processing. (#25841, #25840) Thanks @joshjhall.
    • +
  • Telegram/Replies: when markdown formatting renders to empty HTML (for example syntax-only chunks in threaded replies), retry delivery with plain text, and fail loud when both formatted and plain payloads are empty to avoid false delivered states. (#25096, #25091) Thanks @Glucksberg.
    • +
  • Telegram/Media fetch: prioritize IPv4 before IPv6 in SSRF pinned DNS address ordering so media downloads still work on hosts with broken IPv6 routing. (#24295, #23975) Thanks @Glucksberg.
    • +
  • Telegram/Outbound API: replace Node 22's global undici dispatcher when applying Telegram autoSelectFamily decisions so outbound fetch calls inherit IPv4 fallback instead of staying pinned to stale dispatcher settings. (#25682, #25676) Thanks @lairtonlelis.
    • +
  • Onboarding/Telegram: keep core-channel onboarding available when plugin registry population is missing by falling back to built-in adapters and continuing wizard setup with actionable recovery guidance. (#25803) Thanks @Suko.
    • +
  • Android/Gateway auth: preserve Android gateway auth state across onboarding, use the native client id for operator sessions, retry with shared-token fallback after device-token auth failures, and avoid clearing tokens on transient connect errors.
    • +
  • Slack/DM routing: treat D* channel IDs as direct messages even when Slack sends an incorrect channel_type, preventing DM traffic from being misclassified as channel/group chats. (#25479) Thanks @mcaxtr.
    • +
  • Zalo/Group policy: enforce sender authorization for group messages with groupPolicy + groupAllowFrom (fallback to allowFrom), default runtime group behavior to fail-closed allowlist, and block unauthorized non-command group messages before dispatch. Thanks @tdjackey for reporting.
    • +
  • macOS/Voice input: guard all audio-input startup paths against missing default microphones (Voice Wake, Talk Mode, Push-to-Talk, mic-level monitor, tester) to avoid launch/runtime crashes on mic-less Macs and fail gracefully until input becomes available. (#25817) Thanks @sfo2001.
    • +
  • macOS/IME input: when marked text is active, treat Return as IME candidate confirmation first in both the voice overlay composer and shared chat composer to prevent accidental sends while composing CJK text. (#25178) Thanks @bottotl.
    • +
  • macOS/Voice wake routing: default forwarded voice-wake transcripts to the webchat channel (instead of ambiguous last routing) so local voice prompts stay pinned to the control chat surface unless explicitly overridden. (#25440) Thanks @chilu18.
    • +
  • macOS/Gateway launch: prefer an available openclaw binary before pnpm/node runtime fallback when resolving local gateway commands, so local startup no longer fails on hosts with broken runtime discovery. (#25512) Thanks @chilu18.
    • +
  • macOS/Menu bar: stop reusing the injector delegate for the "Usage cost (30 days)" submenu to prevent recursive submenu injection loops when opening cost history. (#25341) Thanks @yingchunbai.
    • +
  • macOS/WebChat panel: fix rounded-corner clipping by using panel-specific visual-effect blending and matching corner masking on both effect and hosting layers. (#22458) Thanks @apethree and @agisilaos.
    • +
  • Windows/Exec shell selection: prefer PowerShell 7 (pwsh) discovery (Program Files, ProgramW6432, PATH) before falling back to Windows PowerShell 5.1, fixing && command chaining failures on Windows hosts with PS7 installed. (#25684, #25638) Thanks @zerone0x.
    • +
  • Windows/Media safety checks: align async local-file identity validation with sync-safe-open behavior by treating win32 dev=0 stats as unknown-device fallbacks (while keeping strict dev checks when both sides are non-zero), fixing false Local media path is not safe to read drops for local attachments/TTS/images. (#25708, #21989, #25699, #25878) Thanks @kevinWangSheng.
    • +
  • iMessage/Reasoning safety: harden iMessage echo suppression with outbound messageId matching (plus scoped text fallback), and enforce reasoning-payload suppression on routed outbound delivery paths to prevent hidden thinking text from being sent as user-visible channel messages. (#25897, #1649, #25757) Thanks @rmarr and @Iranb.
    • +
  • Providers/OpenRouter/Auth profiles: bypass auth-profile cooldown/disable windows for OpenRouter, so provider failures no longer put OpenRouter profiles into local cooldown and stale legacy cooldown markers are ignored in fallback and status selection paths. (#25892) Thanks @alexanderatallah for raising this and @vincentkoc for the fix.
    • +
  • Providers/Google reasoning: sanitize invalid negative thinkingBudget payloads for Gemini 3.1 requests by dropping -1 budgets and mapping configured reasoning effort to thinkingLevel, preventing malformed reasoning payloads on google-generative-ai. (#25900)
    • +
  • Providers/SiliconFlow: normalize thinking="off" to thinking: null for Pro/* model payloads to avoid provider-side 400 loops and misleading compaction retries. (#25435) Thanks @Zjianru.
    • +
  • Models/Bedrock auth: normalize additional Bedrock provider aliases (bedrock, aws-bedrock, aws_bedrock, amazon bedrock) to canonical amazon-bedrock, ensuring auth-mode resolution consistently selects AWS SDK fallback. (#25756) Thanks @fwhite13.
    • +
  • Models/Providers: preserve explicit user reasoning overrides when merging provider model config with built-in catalog metadata, so reasoning: false is no longer overwritten by catalog defaults. (#25314) Thanks @lbo728.
    • +
  • Gateway/Auth: allow trusted-proxy authenticated Control UI websocket sessions to skip device pairing when device identity is absent, preventing false pairing required failures behind trusted reverse proxies. (#25428) Thanks @SidQin-cyber.
    • +
  • CLI/Memory search: accept --query for openclaw memory search (while keeping positional query support), and emit a clear error when neither form is provided. (#25904, #25857) Thanks @niceysam and @stakeswky.
    • +
  • CLI/Doctor: correct stale recovery hints to use valid commands (openclaw gateway status --deep and openclaw configure --section model). (#24485) Thanks @chilu18.
    • +
  • Doctor/Sandbox: when sandbox mode is enabled but Docker is unavailable, surface a clear actionable warning (including failure impact and remediation) instead of a mild “skip checks” note. (#25438) Thanks @mcaxtr.
    • +
  • Doctor/Plugins: auto-enable now resolves third-party channel plugins by manifest plugin id (not channel id), preventing invalid plugins.entries. writes when ids differ. (#25275) Thanks @zerone0x.
    • +
  • Config/Plugins: treat stale removed google-antigravity-auth plugin references as compatibility warnings (not hard validation errors) across plugins.entries, plugins.allow, plugins.deny, and plugins.slots.memory, so startup no longer fails after antigravity removal. (#25538, #25862) Thanks @chilu18.
    • +
  • Config/Meta: accept numeric meta.lastTouchedAt timestamps and coerce them to ISO strings, preserving compatibility with agent edits that write Date.now() values. (#25491) Thanks @mcaxtr.
    • +
  • Usage accounting: parse Moonshot/Kimi cached_tokens fields (including prompt_tokens_details.cached_tokens) into normalized cache-read usage metrics. (#25436) Thanks @Elarwei001.
    • +
  • Agents/Tool dispatch: await block-reply flush before tool execution starts so buffered block replies preserve message ordering around tool calls. (#25427) Thanks @SidQin-cyber.
    • +
  • Agents/Billing classification: prevent long assistant/user-facing text from being rewritten as billing failures while preserving explicit status/code/http 402 detection for oversized structured error payloads. (#25680, #25661) Thanks @lairtonlelis.
    • +
  • Sessions/Tool-result guard: avoid generating synthetic toolResult entries for assistant turns that ended with stopReason: "aborted" or "error", preventing orphaned tool-use IDs from triggering downstream API validation errors. (#25429) Thanks @mikaeldiakhate-cell.
    • +
  • Auto-reply/Reset hooks: guarantee native /new and /reset flows emit command/reset hooks even on early-return command paths, with dedupe protection to avoid double hook emission. (#25459) Thanks @chilu18.
    • +
  • Hooks/Slug generator: resolve session slug model from the agent’s effective model (including defaults/fallback resolution) instead of raw agent-primary config only. (#25485) Thanks @SudeepMalipeddi.
    • +
  • Sandbox/FS bridge tests: add regression coverage for dash-leading basenames to confirm sandbox file reads resolve to absolute container paths (and avoid shell-option misdiagnosis for dashed filenames). (#25891) Thanks @albertlieyingadrian.
    • +
  • Sandbox/FS bridge: build canonical-path shell scripts with newline separators (not ; joins) to avoid POSIX sh do; syntax errors that broke sandbox file/image read-write operations. (#25737, #25824, #25868) Thanks @DennisGoldfinger and @peteragility.
    • +
  • Sandbox/Config: preserve dangerouslyAllowReservedContainerTargets and dangerouslyAllowExternalBindSources during sandbox docker config resolution so explicit bind-mount break-glass overrides reach runtime validation. (#25410) Thanks @skyer-jian.
    • +
  • Gateway/Security: enforce gateway auth for the exact /api/channels plugin root path (plus /api/channels/ descendants), with regression coverage for query/trailing-slash variants and near-miss paths that must remain plugin-owned. (#25753) Thanks @bmendonca3.
    • +
  • Exec approvals: treat bare allowlist * as a true wildcard for parsed executables, including unresolved PATH lookups, so global opt-in allowlists work as configured. (#25250) Thanks @widingmarcus-cyber.
    • +
  • iOS/Signing: improve scripts/ios-team-id.sh for Xcode 16+ by falling back to Xcode-managed provisioning profiles, add actionable guidance when an Apple account exists but no Team ID can be resolved, and ignore Xcode xcodebuild output directories (apps/ios/build, apps/shared/OpenClawKit/build, Swabble/build). (#22773) Thanks @brianleach.
    • +
  • Control UI/Chat images: route image-click opens through a shared safe-open helper (allowing only safe URL schemes) and open new tabs with opener isolation to block tabnabbing. (#18685, #25444, #25847) Thanks @Mariana-Codebase and @shakkernerd.
    • +
  • Security/Exec: sanitize inherited host execution environment before merge, canonicalize inherited PATH handling, and strip dangerous keys (LD_*, DYLD_*, SSLKEYLOGFILE, and related injection vectors) from non-sandboxed exec runs. (#25755) Thanks @bmendonca3.
    • +
  • Security/Hooks: normalize hook session-key classification with trim/lowercase plus Unicode NFKC folding (for example full-width ＨＯＯＫ：...) so external-content wrapping cannot be bypassed by mixed-case or lookalike prefixes. (#25750) Thanks @bmendonca3.
    • +
  • Security/Voice Call: add Telnyx webhook replay detection and canonicalize replay-key signature encoding (Base64/Base64URL equivalent forms dedupe together), so duplicate signed webhook deliveries no longer re-trigger side effects. (#25832) Thanks @bmendonca3.
    • +
  • Security/Sandbox media: restrict sandbox media tmp-path allowances to OpenClaw-managed tmp roots instead of broad host os.tmpdir() trust, and add outbound/channel guardrails (tmp-path lint + media-root smoke tests) to prevent regressions in local media attachment reads. Thanks @tdjackey for reporting.
    • +
  • Security/Sandbox media: reject hard-linked OpenClaw tmp media aliases (including symlink-to-hardlink chains) during sandbox media path resolution to prevent out-of-sandbox inode alias reads. (#25820) Thanks @bmendonca3.
    • +
  • Security/Message actions: enforce local media root checks for sendAttachment and setGroupIcon when sandboxRoot is unset, preventing attachment hydration from reading arbitrary host files via local absolute paths. Thanks @GCXWLP for reporting.
    • +
  • Security/Telegram: enforce DM authorization before media download/write (including media groups) and move telegram inbound activity tracking after DM authorization, preventing unauthorized sender-triggered inbound media disk writes. Thanks @v8hid for reporting.
    • +
  • Security/Workspace FS: normalize @-prefixed paths before workspace-boundary checks (including workspace-only read/write/edit and sandbox mount path guards), preventing absolute-path escape attempts from bypassing guard validation. Thanks @tdjackey for reporting.
    • +
  • Security/Synology Chat: enforce fail-closed allowlist behavior for DM ingress so dmPolicy: "allowlist" with empty allowedUserIds rejects all senders instead of allowing unauthorized dispatch. (#25827) Thanks @bmendonca3 for the contribution and @tdjackey for reporting.
    • +
  • Security/Native images: enforce tools.fs.workspaceOnly for native prompt image auto-load (including history refs), preventing out-of-workspace sandbox mounts from being implicitly ingested as vision input. Thanks @tdjackey for reporting.
    • +
  • Security/Exec approvals: bind system.run command display/approval text to full argv when shell-wrapper inline payloads carry positional argv values, and reject payload-only rawCommand mismatches for those wrapper-carrier forms, preventing hidden command execution under misleading approval text. Thanks @tdjackey for reporting.
    • +
  • Security/Exec companion host: forward canonical system.run display text (not payload-only shell snippets) to the macOS exec host, and enforce rawCommand/argv consistency there for shell-wrapper positional-argv carriers and env-modifier preludes, preventing companion-side approval/display drift. Thanks @tdjackey for reporting.
    • +
  • Security/Exec approvals: fail closed when transparent dispatch-wrapper unwrapping exceeds the depth cap, so nested /usr/bin/env chains cannot bypass shell-wrapper approval gating in allowlist + ask=on-miss mode. Thanks @tdjackey for reporting.
    • +
  • Security/Exec: limit default safe-bin trusted directories to immutable system paths (/bin, /usr/bin) and require explicit opt-in (tools.exec.safeBinTrustedDirs) for package-manager/user bin paths (for example Homebrew), add security-audit findings for risky trusted-dir choices, warn at runtime when explicitly trusted dirs are group/world writable, and add doctor hints when configured safeBins resolve outside trusted dirs. Thanks @tdjackey for reporting.
    • +
  • Security/Sandbox: canonicalize bind-mount source paths via existing-ancestor realpath so symlink-parent + non-existent-leaf paths cannot bypass allowed-source-roots or blocked-path checks. Thanks @tdjackey.
