* build(deps): remove npm shrinkwrap; mirror pnpm lock into transient package locks
npm 12 removed shrinkwrap (command + tarball/root loading). Delete all 82
committed npm-shrinkwrap.json files and stop publishing lockfiles; keep
pnpm-lock.yaml as the single reviewed dependency boundary. The generator
becomes scripts/generate-npm-package-lock.mjs and feeds plugin bundling via
a transient package-lock.json + npm ci (works on npm 11 and 12). Tarball
validation treats the published 2026.7.2 beta train as a shrinkwrap
transition; self-update npm detection now uses install topology instead of
the shipped shrinkwrap.
* fix(deps): repair lint, deadcode, and test-type lanes for the npm 12 migration
- sort integrity comparisons with an explicit comparator (oxlint)
- keep resolveBunGlobalNodeModules module-local (knip unused-export gate)
- model npm pack --json as npm<=11 array / npm 12 name-keyed object
- default calver destructuring in the tarball test fixture
Codex review: version existence alone does not prove the npm registry
serves the tarball this tag's preflight built — the same version could
have been published from a different artifact and npm versions are
immutable. The resume resolver now downloads the preflight manifest,
requires its releaseSha to match the target, and compares the published
registry tarball's sha256 against the manifest before skipping the core
dispatch; mismatches abort with correction-tag guidance.
The 2026.7.1 retro measured ~13h tag-to-published for beta.2 and stable
2026.6.11; any post-npm failure previously hard-aborted retries because
the already-published guard refused the whole run.
- resolve_openclaw_npm_publish_state replaces the abort guard: an
already-published core version skips the core npm dispatch and resumes
the remaining stages; verify_published_release still proves the
registry state matches the tag before the page leaves draft.
- Windows and Android promotion runs concurrently with the core npm
publish (their only shared prerequisite is the draft release page,
which is now created before the dispatch) and each promotion
short-circuits when the release already carries its verified asset
contract, so retries only redo failed stages.
- The release proof cites the core npm run only when this run dispatched
one; resumed publishes rely on the registry package check.
Two competing release-notes pipelines existed: the release branch's
hardened render/verify/provenance pipeline (a486f3ab08 + dcee1da876,
battle-tested by 2026.7.1) and main's lighter prepare-github-release-notes
size gate (#103222). Repo policy is one canonical path; the release-branch
pipeline wins and main's unique value is grafted in:
- scripts/render-github-release-notes.mjs becomes the canonical release
body renderer (full/compact 125k char+byte modes, tag-pinned record
link, verification tail, canonical shipped-baseline format), now also
preferring a correction tag's dedicated changelog section (from
prepare's heading matrix).
- verify-release-notes.mjs is a three-way merge: release's --shipped-ref
cumulative baselines, provenance checks, highlights gate, and the
excluded-record rewrite fix, plus main's compact contribution rows,
externalReferences threading, and both-heading parser compat.
- release-candidate-checklist.mjs gains validateCandidateCheckout and
changelog-provenance gates that run before any dispatch.
- openclaw-release-publish.yml keeps main's fail-before-mutation early
notes gate (retargeted to the renderer) and adopts release's
render/verify_release_tag_target/canonical_release_body_matches flow.
- scripts/prepare-github-release-notes.mjs and its test are deleted;
release-notes-ledger.test.ts stays and pins the merged verify exports.
- .gitignore tracks every repo skill for Git-aware syncs; SKILL.md
runbooks and RELEASING.md document the converged contract.
- Full Release Validation now checks for a prior green validation whose
target differs only by release metadata (changelog/version stamps) and
reuses that evidence instead of re-running every lane; disable with
reuse_evidence=false. Evidence manifests chain through reuse runs via
evidenceReuse.runId and the summary re-verifies the chain root.
- The Docker runtime-assets preflight no longer serializes the CI,
plugin-prerelease, release-checks, and performance lanes; it runs in
parallel and stays enforced by the umbrella verifier.
- Umbrella runs for release/* refs now supersede in-progress runs with
the same ref and rerun group instead of requiring manual cancels.
- release_profile=beta treats the live-provider E2E suites as advisory
(third-party model deployments move underneath releases); stable and
full profiles keep them blocking, and beta live failures no longer
fail-fast-cancel the remaining release-check matrix.
* refactor: extract reusable AI runtime package
* refactor: complete AI provider relocation
* refactor: keep llm core internal
* refactor(ai): make @openclaw/ai self-contained with host policy ports
Move pure transport helpers (tool projections, strict-schema normalization,
prompt-cache boundary, stream guards, anthropic/openai compat, request
activity) from src into packages/ai; move utf16-slice into
normalization-core. Inject host policy (guarded fetch, redaction,
strict-tool defaults, diagnostics logging) through AiTransportHost with
inert library defaults installed by src/llm/stream.ts. Narrow the public
barrel to instance-scoped createApiRegistry/createLlmRuntime; the
process-default runtime moves behind internal/ and
registerBuiltInApiProviders takes an explicit registry. Delete the
src/llm/api-registry re-export facade.
* fix(ai): teach node, jiti, and vite resolvers the @openclaw/ai and utf16-slice subpaths
The workspace alias tables in root-alias.cjs, plugin-sdk-native-resolver,
sdk-alias, the shared vitest config, and the Control UI vite config only
knew @openclaw/llm-core; Node-side plugin loading resolved @openclaw/ai
through the pnpm symlink to the unbuilt dist (checks-node-compact CI
failures), and the Control UI build broke on the new
normalization-core/utf16-slice subpath.
* chore(ui): drop leftover service-worker debug logging
* build(release): ship @openclaw/ai with its own shrinkwrap and honest dependency set
packages/ai declares only its six real runtime deps (kysely, chalk, json5,
tslog, zod, fs-safe, and proxyline were never imported); orphaned root deps
removed. generate-npm-shrinkwrap now treats publishable packages/* like
publishable plugins so the AI tarball pins its transitive tree even though
workspace deps are omitted from the root shrinkwrap. knip learns the
package entry points; the tsdown dts neverBundle option moves to its
documented deps.dts home; the README documents the no-semver internal/*
contract and host ports.
* docs(ai): add minimal external-consumer example app
examples/ai-chat consumes only the public @openclaw/ai surface (built dist
via the workspace link): isolated runtime, built-in provider registration,
one streamed completion. Supports Anthropic/OpenAI via env keys and a
keyless local Ollama target; live-verified against Ollama.
* docs(ai): document the @openclaw/ai package and workspace shrinkwrap boundary
* chore(check): include examples/ in duplicate-scan targets
* fix: emit normalization package subpaths
* fix: complete AI package boundary artifacts
* fix: align AI package boundary contracts
* fix(ci): stabilize package release contracts
* test: align documentation contract checks
* test: keep cron docs guard aligned
* test: align restored docs contract guards
* test: follow upstream docs contracts
* docs: drop superseded talk wording
One-time maintainer-authorized bootstrap merge for the release-gate verifier policy. Exact hosted CI and all supporting workflow gates passed on 66133de419.
* fix: harden package URL downloads
Guard package acceptance URL downloads with HTTPS-only validation, no embedded credentials, private/special-use DNS and IP rejection, manual redirect checks, bounded timeout/size limits, pinned lookup, and atomic temp-file writes. Add tooling tests for unsafe URLs, redirect validation, size limits, and successful writes.
* fix: cancel redirect response bodies before closing dispatcher
ClawSweeper P2: the redirect branch in openPackageDownloadResponse cleared
the timeout and awaited dispatcher.close() without first cancelling
response.body. Undici's close() is graceful — it waits for in-flight
requests to complete — so a malicious redirect with a slow/never-ending
body could hang the hardened downloader.
Fix: call response.body?.cancel() before dispatcher.close() to abort the
redirect body immediately.
Test: add a regression test that uses a ReadableStream with an indefinite
interval to simulate a hanging body, and asserts cancel() was called.
Refs: clawsweeper review on PR #85512
* test: harden redirect body cancellation race in regression test
Guard the ReadableStream controller.enqueue() call with a cancelled
flag and try/catch to prevent ERR_INVALID_STATE when the interval
fires after cancel() closes the controller.
* fix: cancel final response body before closing dispatcher in downloadUrl
ClawSweeper P2: the HTTP-error and declared-oversize early-exit paths
in downloadUrl threw before consuming or canceling response.body. The
finally block then cleared the timeout and awaited graceful
dispatcher.close() with the body still open, allowing a slow/never-ending
response to hang release tooling.
Fix: add response.body?.cancel() in the finally block before
dispatcher.close().
Tests: add two regressions:
- HTTP 500 with slow body: asserts cancel() called before dispatcher close
- Declared content-length oversize with slow body: same assertion
* fix: add trusted package URL source policy
