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.
* feat(ui): restore sidebar chrome and remove the pane workspace strip
Reverse course from #103426 on the app chrome: the left sidebar owns
brand, pinned navigation + More, New session, sessions, and the footer
(status dot, Settings, Docs, pairing, theme) again, and the desktop
topbar is gone. What stays from that PR: the dockable workspace rail
(right/bottom, drag or button), the in-flow split-pane headers, and
Cmd+B now hides the sidebar entirely (no 78px icon rail) with a
floating expand control.
The real target of the original request: the vertical icon strip at
each pane's right edge is deleted. A collapsed workspace rail renders
nothing; the toggle (with a changed-file badge) lives in the split-pane
header next to split/close, or floats at the top-right in single-pane
chat. Shift+Cmd+B still toggles.
Narrow native macOS windows (e.g. the in-app link browser splitting
the window) previously stacked 50px of injected titlebar padding on
top of the 58px drawer row; the web CSS now folds that into one
compact 58px row beside the traffic lights, with selectors that
outrank the rules shipped Mac apps inject.
* chore(ui): regenerate locale bundles and docs map for sidebar restore
* fix(ui): bind showPaneHeader explicitly on the classic single pane
* chore(ui): reconcile locale metadata after rebase onto lobster wild cards
In messages.visibleReplies "message_tool" sessions, a successful agent turn that produced a substantive private final without calling message(action=send) previously left the user with silence and only an operator log. The gateway now enqueues one protected front-of-queue retry prompting the model to deliver the reply, and falls back to a sanitized visible diagnostic when the retry cannot be enqueued or also strands. Queue overflow protection is unified with the in-flight-aware drop policy (skip in-flight or protected items, reject when nothing is droppable), rejected overflow no longer refreshes the drain debounce, heartbeat turns are excluded from recovery, and recovery retries no longer share the client turn's queued-turn lifecycle.
Fixes#85714
Thanks to Eva (@100yenadmin) for the contribution.
* feat(channels): narrated progress drafts + activity receipt on the final answer
Progress mode replaces raw tool lines with short utility-model narration of
what the agent is doing (streaming.progress.narration, default on, requires
an explicit utilityModel). On Discord the final answer now carries the
-# activity receipt and the working draft is deleted once the answer lands,
so busy channels keep no orphaned tool log above the reply.
Formatting verified remotely via Testbox oxfmt --check (hook bypassed:
no node_modules in this worktree).
* fix(channels): keep narration toggle independent of channel-default stream mode
Discord resolves its own progress default, so the resolver must not re-derive
mode with the generic partial fallback (narration was off for unset config).
* fix(auto-reply): honor status-only command text in narration model input
streaming.progress.commandText: "status" hides raw exec/bash text from the
channel draft; narration input now mirrors that policy so the utility model
never receives more command detail than the draft shows (Codex review P2).
Formatting verified remotely via Testbox oxfmt --check.
* fix(auto-reply): share the draft's command-tool set for narration and regen channel metadata
Reuse isCommandToolName (exec|shell|bash) so narration's commandText policy
matches the draft formatter exactly, and regenerate bundled channel config
metadata for the new streaming.progress.narration key (Codex review round 2).
Gates verified on Testbox: config:channels:check, oxfmt --check, 4 test shards.
* fix(channels): clear stale narration when the narrator stops mid-turn
An empty narration update now falls the draft back to raw tool lines, and the
narrator emits that clear when it disables after consecutive failures or the
per-turn cap, so drafts never pin stale status text (Codex review round 3).
Gates verified on Testbox: oxfmt --check + 4 test shards.
* chore(config): regen bundled channel metadata after rebase onto main
* chore: CI fixups — lint nits, test harness types, docs map, SDK surface budget
Two deliberate public SDK additions (resolveChannelStreamingProgressNarration,
isCommandToolName via the streaming wildcard re-export) bump the pinned
public-surface budgets to current counts (exports 10488, callable 5235).
Gates verified on Testbox: oxfmt, targeted oxlint, docs:map:check,
config:channels:check, check:test-types, 5 test shards.
* feat(cli,webchat): lobster wild cards - a CLI cousin, moving day, and opt-in sounds
The openclaw banner gains a rare day-seeded ASCII lobster (rich TTYs,
random tagline mode, never CI). The web pet notices gateway upgrades and
arrives carrying a bindle for one load. A new default-off Lobster sounds
quick setting adds tiny WebAudio chirps on pokes and pets. The lobster
docs page learns about petting, sounds, and this batch's field notes.
* chore(webchat): regenerate keyless raw-copy i18n baseline after rebase
- 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.
* feat(ui): move app chrome into a topbar and dock the session workspace rail
The desktop shell now uses a slim topbar for brand, primary navigation
(Chat + pinned routes + More menu), command-palette search, pairing,
theme, and Settings; the left column slims down to a sessions-only
panel (Cmd+B hides it entirely — the 78px icon rail is gone). Split
view drops the fixed geometry-mirroring toolbar for in-flow per-pane
headers. The session workspace rail can dock right or bottom inside
its pane — drag its header between edges or use the dock button — and
the collapsed strip's file glyph is now a real button (it used to be a
dead, button-looking span) with a changed-file count badge. The Mac
app's injected chrome CSS slims down accordingly; its drag-region
geometry is unchanged and the topbar brand strip stays passive under
it.
* chore(ui): regenerate locale bundles for topbar and workspace dock strings
* fix(ui): keep the native macOS drawer clear of the titlebar overlay
The narrow-width slide-over drawer sits fixed at the window top, over
the AppKit traffic lights and drag regions. The old Mac-app-injected
CSS padded .sidebar-shell for this; that rule moved web-side for the
desktop topbar, so restore drawer clearance here for both the app
drawer and the in-drawer settings sidebar.
* chore(ui): translate topbar and workspace dock strings; regen docs map
Each inline link opens in its own tab (exact-URL dedupe); sidebar
target=_blank links open new tabs. Tab strip on top with click to
activate, close buttons, middle-click close, pointer-drag reorder, and
a per-tab context menu (Open in Default Browser, Copy Link, Reload,
Close Tab, Close Other Tabs). Navigation controls sit below the tabs
and follow the active tab. Closing the last tab collapses the sidebar
with no lingering webviews or history.
* fix(opencode-go): remove deprecated mimo-v2-omni and mimo-v2-pro model aliases
These deprecated aliases reject agent requests from the OpenCode Go gateway.
Remove them from the provider catalog and clean up all references in probe
skip lists, CI workflows, and tests.

* feat(mattermost): add opt-in DM threading via dmReplyToMode
Resolves#93203.
Mattermost direct messages are hardcoded non-threaded: resolveMattermostReplyToMode
returns "off" for direct chats before consulting config, and the reply-root /
effective-reply resolvers short-circuit for direct chats. So every DM accretes into
one ever-growing session with unbounded per-session token usage, with no way to
isolate each DM topic the way groups/channels (and Slack) can.
Add channels.mattermost.dmReplyToMode (same enum as replyToMode), default "off" so
existing flat-DM deployments are unchanged. When set to "first"/"all", a DM @mention
starts an independent, thread-scoped session:
- resolveMattermostReplyToMode: direct chats return config.dmReplyToMode ?? "off".
- resolveMattermostEffectiveReplyToId: direct early-return gated on replyToMode "off"
(the value already reflects dmReplyToMode for direct chats).
- resolveMattermostReplyRootId: direct early-return gated on the absence of a thread
root (a DM carries one only when DM threading is enabled).
- New DM threads start fresh (no parent-session inheritance) so each topic is isolated;
a threaded DM keeps its own history key while a flat DM root keeps none.
Default-off preserves the documented flat-DM contract, so this changes no existing
behavior. Adds unit coverage and documents the opt-in. The only open question is the
knob shape (dmReplyToMode enum vs a boolean dmThreading) — happy to adjust.
Refs #65729.

* fix(mattermost): register dmReplyToMode in config schema
dmReplyToMode was wired into the account config type and reply
resolution but never added to MattermostConfigSchema, so setting it in
openclaw.json failed config validation ("must not have additional
properties: dmReplyToMode") and the gateway refused to start — the knob
could not actually be enabled. Register it in the schema, regenerate the
bundled channel config metadata and doc baseline, and add a
config-schema test.
* fix(mattermost): thread direct reply transport when dmReplyToMode is on
resolveReplyTransport nulled the direct reply root/thread id
unconditionally, so routed replies and message-tool follow-ups in an
opted-in DM thread were still sent flat even when the effective
replyToMode was first/all. Keep direct transport flat only when the mode
is off (the historical contract) and preserve the thread root otherwise,
matching the monitor-level DM threading gates. Adds channel.test.ts
coverage for resolveReplyTransport.
* fix(mattermost): use per-chat reply mode overrides
* fix(mattermost): bound direct thread history
* chore(config): refresh docs baseline

* fix(doctor): gate cross-state-dir legacy imports behind explicit doctor opt-in
A gateway or CLI command started with OPENCLAW_STATE_DIR pointing at a
non-default directory used to import legacy files FROM the default
~/.openclaw state dir (exec-approvals.json, plugin-binding-approvals.json)
and archive the originals with a .migrated suffix. Any isolated, test, or
staging run on a host with production state silently captured and archived
the production files.
Cross-state-dir imports now run only with the new crossStateDirImports
opt-in: openclaw doctor --fix (or an interactive doctor confirm) performs
the import; the implicit CLI/gateway preflight leaves the default dir
untouched and emits a notice pointing at doctor instead.
* test(doctor): include notices in legacy-state detector mocks
A fun field guide for the Control UI lobster: what it is, when it
visits, how to interact (hover names, pokes, right-click shoo), the
Appearance toggle, the Lobsterdex, reduced-motion and privacy notes.
Deliberately teases rather than documents the rare variants, events,
and the anniversary. Registered in the Web interfaces nav group and the
generated docs map.
* fix(msteams): read file attachments on Teams channel messages
Three bugs blocked reading files attached to channel messages:
- Graph /teams/{id} used channelData.team.id (the 19:..@thread.tacv2 thread id)
instead of team.aadGroupId (the AAD group GUID) -> 400.
- The Graph fetch was gated on an <attachment id> HTML marker that channel
@mention activities don't carry -> fetch skipped.
- A thread reply was fetched at /messages/{replyId} (404) then fell back to the
bare thread root, returning the root's file for every reply. Replies live at
/messages/{root}/replies/{replyId}.
Fixes#89594
* fix(msteams): gate Graph media fallback on text/html stub; run trigger tests in channel context
* fix(msteams): canonicalize Graph attachment recovery
Build one canonical Graph message URL per Teams activity, recover marker-free channel and group-chat file shares, and retain bounded current-main attachment handling.

* refactor(pairing): move device pairing store to shared SQLite state DB
Device pairing, pending requests, and bootstrap tokens now live in the
device_pairing_* / device_bootstrap_tokens tables of state/openclaw.sqlite
instead of devices/{paired,pending,bootstrap}.json. Gateways import legacy
paired records once at startup (before the node-surface fold) and archive
the JSON files with a .migrated suffix; transient pending/bootstrap rows
are dropped. The unshipped node_pairing_* tables are removed from the
schema and dropped from existing DBs. Doctor now flags un-imported legacy
store files instead of corrupt-JSON reads.
* refactor(pairing): drop stale awaits now that store persistence is synchronous
* refactor(pairing): extract leaf record types to break store/domain module cycle
