* feat(tooling): add noUncheckedIndexedAccess strict-ratchet lane
* fix(packages): make indexed access explicit across ratchet packages
Burns down all 65 noUncheckedIndexedAccess errors in the seven ratchet
packages with behavior-identical restructuring (iteration, charAt/slice,
regex-group guards, validated hextet tuple). net-policy invariant
violations now throw instead of failing open. Adds
@openclaw/normalization-core/expect (expectDefined/first/last) with
subpath export and tests. memory-host-sdk fixes kept but the package
stays out of the lane: it re-exports core src/** so the flag would apply
transitively to all of core.
* fix(lint): keep .oxlintrc.json strict-JSON parseable for extension lint wrappers
* feat(agents): derive a provider-declared default utility model when unset
When agents.defaults.utilityModel is not set, utility tasks (titles, progress
narration) now use the primary provider's declared small model
(modelCatalog.providers.<id>.defaultUtilityModel: OpenAI -> gpt-5.6-luna,
Anthropic -> claude-haiku-4-5). Auth is inherent because derivation follows
the agent's primary provider. Setting utilityModel to an empty string
disables utility routing entirely; narration turns on automatically when a
default resolves and stays off otherwise.
Formatting/lint/tests verified on Testbox (oxfmt, oxlint, plugins:inventory,
docs:map, import-cycles, check:test-types, 4 test files).
* fix(ai): drop the temperature parameter for models that reject it
The GPT-5.6 family 400s on temperature via the Responses API (live-verified:
gpt-5.6-luna/-terra reject it; gpt-5.5 and gpt-5.4-mini/nano accept it).
supportsOpenAITemperature gates all three OpenAI payload builders, with a
catalog compat override (compat.supportsTemperature) declared for the 5.6
family in the openai manifest. Without this, utility tasks (titles,
narration) would fail once gpt-5.6-luna becomes the derived default.
Gates on Testbox: oxfmt, oxlint, plugins:inventory, import-cycles,
check:test-types, 6 test files. Live proof on Testbox: gpt-5.6-luna and
claude-haiku-4-5 one-shot completions succeed with temperature requested.
* fix(agents): carry the primary model's auth profile onto the derived utility default
A primary like openai/gpt-5.5@work previously reached utility tasks via the
profiled fallback; the derived default shares the provider, so its trailing
auth profile carries over instead of silently switching to default
credentials (Codex review). Gates on Testbox: oxfmt, check:test-types, tests.
* docs: realign the manifest provider-fields table after adding defaultUtilityModel
* feat(openai): add GPT-5.6 series support
* docs: refresh map for GPT-5.6
* fix(openai): preserve GPT-5.6 thinking metadata
* fix(codex): sync managed app server version
* fix(codex): sync managed app server version
* fix(openai): account for GPT-5.6 cache writes

Fix live model inference edge cases across provider streaming, model switching, outbound delivery, and gateway tool resolution.
Includes live/provider issue fixes and leaves #89100 explicitly partial for the remaining FM-2 group routing case.
Move model catalog normalization and package-owned catalog schema/types into model-catalog-core while keeping public plugin SDK model catalog declarations on the existing SDK surface. Verified focused tests, package-boundary compile, full build, changed gate, declaration leak grep, CI, and autoreview.
Move model catalog ref helpers into @openclaw/model-catalog-core/model-catalog-refs and update internal callers/package-boundary aliases. Also fix the timestamp predicate typing that blocked prod type checks on current main.
* refactor: extract model catalog core package
* refactor: route model catalog imports through package boundary
* build: include model catalog in plugin sdk package dts
* fix: preserve static fallback model metadata
