* feat: node-hosted plugins — dynamic tools, MCP servers, and skills
Nodes become declarative plugin hosts:
- node.pluginTools.update: node hosts publish plugin-registered agent tool
descriptors; gateway materializes them as agent tools executing via
node.invoke under the node command allowlist, with tools.effective
invalidation and node online/offline removal.
- Trusted paired-node descriptors: no gateway-side plugin registration
required; gateway.nodes.pluginTools.enabled off-switch (default on);
description/count caps; deterministic node-prefixed collision names.
- Declarative node-hosted MCP: nodeHost.mcp.servers (McpServerConfig shape)
starts MCP clients on the node host, publishes tools as pluginId node-mcp,
executes via built-in mcp.tools.call.v1 with per-layer timeouts, failure
isolation, and orphan-safe shutdown. No re-pairing when servers change.
- Node-hosted skills: node.skills.update publishes ~/.openclaw/skills
content (64 skills/64KB/512KB caps both sides); gateway merges them into
the skills snapshot while connected and exec host=node is available, with
node:// locators, node-prefixed collisions, disabled command dispatch,
and gateway.nodes.skills.enabled + nodeHost.skills.enabled switches.
- Security: node-supplied pluginIds cannot satisfy pluginId-scoped tool
allowlists unless gateway-registered; reserved node-mcp id requires the
core MCP descriptor shape; protocol registry kept out of public
plugin-sdk dts.
- E2E: pond harness proves publication, MCP round-trip, skills locator, and
disconnect/reconnect for all three surfaces.
* style: format node-plugin-tools test
* fix(skills): keep status loader unfiltered when eligibility is passed
skills.status started passing eligibility for the node-skill merge, which
flipped loadWorkspaceSkillEntries into filtered mode and dropped disabled
skills from status reports (QA plugin-lifecycle-hot-reload timeout). Status
now merges node skills explicitly around an unfiltered load. Also: regen
docs_map for new node docs sections; add the intentional node-host MCP
onclose suppression to the lint-suppression allowlist.
Adds a git-backed session diff panel to the Control UI, complementing the existing PR status chips.
New sessions.diff gateway method (operator.read): resolves the session checkout and returns structured per-file diffs (status, renames, +/- counts, capped unified patch) of branch + uncommitted + untracked work against the default-branch merge base. Hardened against git textconv execution and hardlinked out-of-tree content leaks; handles repos before their first commit via the empty-tree base.
Control UI renders a "Changes" panel in the chat detail sidebar with collapsible per-file diffs, hunk-gap markers, stat chips, and untracked/binary badges, gated on gateway method advertisement. Schemas additive (Swift models regenerated), 20 locales translated.
Closes#104182
* feat(webui): reintroduce opt-in AI purpose titles for tool calls
Restores the chat.toolTitles path removed in #103821, gated behind the new
gateway.controlUi.toolTitles opt-in (default false) so tool rendering stays
fully deterministic with no background model calls unless an operator enables
it. Disabled gateways answer { titles: {}, disabled: true } without loading
the completion runtime, and clients stop asking for the session.
When enabled, titles use canonical utility-model routing: an explicit
utilityModel (operator-chosen provider, like every utility task), else the
session provider's declared small-model default, honoring per-session model
overrides and auth profiles; utilityModel "" disables titles and malformed
refs fail closed — never the primary model. Tool inputs are redacted with the
tools-mode redactor before cache keys or prompts, caller ids are bounded and
never reach the model, and results cache in the per-agent SQLite
cache_entries so repeat views never re-bill.
Also completes two crestodian model-input mock factories that leaked into
sibling tests under shared-registry CI shards.
Fixes#103987
* fix(webui): redact tool-title inputs before truncation
Kind-aware tool rows (terminal-style commands with wrapper stripping and
display highlighting, file edits with inline numbered diffs and diffstat,
write previews, key-value args), aggregate group summaries with live run
status, and a new batched chat.toolTitles gateway RPC that titles complex
calls via the configured utilityModel or the OpenAI Luna default (gated to
OpenAI-primary agents, cached in the per-agent SQLite cache_entries).
Also fixes two transcript pairing bugs: result blocks now inherit call
id/name/details at merge time, and results pair with any open call in the
current tool run so parallel calls render as single rows.
Fixes#103554
* feat(gateway): session worktree targeting, branch listing, and group catalog
- sessions.create accepts worktreeBaseRef/worktreeName (write scope) and
execNode (admin); worktree binding persists on the session entry as
worktree { id, branch, repoRoot } and projects onto session rows with
execNode so UIs can show checkout/branch/node state
- new worktrees.branches RPC lists local/remote branches (no fetch) for
base-ref pickers; worktrees.remove now reports snapshotError
- sessions.delete reports preserved dirty checkouts as worktreePreserved
- gateway-owned session group catalog in the shared state DB with
sessions.groups.list/put/rename/delete; rename/delete update member
categories server-side without bumping recency; sessions.patch absorbs
ad-hoc categories into the catalog
- group session display names prefer the human chat title (subject or
space #channel) over stored compact tokens
Part of #103431
* fix(gateway): route group category updates through the session accessor and regen protocol models
- bulk member-category rename/clear uses applySessionEntryReplacements
instead of legacy updateSessionStore call sites (session accessor
boundary guard)
- regenerate Swift GatewayModels for the worktrees.branches schemas,
snapshotError, and new sessions.create params
Part of #103431
* fix(gateway): resolvable remote branch refs and workspace-scoped branch listing
- worktrees.branches returns remote-only branches remote-qualified
(origin/feature-a) so every advertised name works as a worktree base ref
- write-scoped worktrees.branches callers are limited to configured agent
workspaces; other host paths require operator.admin, matching the
sessions.create cwd bar
Part of #103431
* fix(gateway): guard worktree name reuse by owner and env-scope group transactions
- managedWorktrees.create rejects a caller-chosen name whose live or
restorable record belongs to a different owner, so write-scoped
sessions.create cannot bind a session into another session's or a
manual checkout
- session group catalog writes run their SQLite transaction on the same
env-scoped handle as their statements, keeping OPENCLAW_STATE_DIR
overrides atomic and away from the default state DB
Part of #103431
* feat(ui): add plugin catalog management
* feat(gateway): add plugins.uninstall and richer plugin catalog metadata
Adds a plugins.uninstall gateway method (operator.admin, control-plane write)
backed by a lock-guarded uninstallManagedPlugin that mirrors the CLI flow:
config cleanup, install-record removal, managed file deletion, and registry
refresh. Bundled plugins stay disable-only. Catalog entries now carry a
manifest-derived category and a removable flag; ClawHub search results expose
download counts and verification tiers.
* feat(ui): redesign plugins page with inventory, store shelves, and cover art
Rebuilds /settings/plugins around three tabs: Installed (category-grouped
inventory with overview stats, state filters, uninstall for external plugins,
and inline MCP server management through the shared config seam), Discover
(featured/official shelves plus one-click MCP connectors and curated ClawHub
searches), and ClawHub (search with download counts and verification badges).
Every catalog entry renders bundled cover art or a deterministic gradient
monogram tile - no more empty boxes. Artwork generated with Codex CLI, shipped
as 512px WebP under ui/public/plugin-art.
* chore(ui): regenerate locale bundles for plugins manager strings
* docs: describe plugins manager tabs, uninstall, and MCP connectors
* fix(plugins): human catalog labels and un-pinned hosted fallback ids
listManagedPlugins now prefers manifest names over registry package-name
backfill, falls back to channel catalog labels and blurbs, and stops pinning
expectedPluginId when a hosted feed entry only exposes its package name
(which rejected every legitimate install of that package). Found via live
gateway testing against ClawHub.
* fix(ui): send minimal RFC 7396 merge patches for MCP server edits
config.patch merges rather than replaces, so key removal needs an explicit
null; sending the full config back made MCP server removal a no-op. Found
via live gateway testing.
* fix(ui): write explicit MCP transports for URL servers
The MCP runtime defaults URL-only servers to SSE, so streamable HTTP
endpoints saved by the add form or connector templates would fail at
connect time. Connector templates now declare their transport and the
add form infers streamable-http unless the URL follows the /sse
convention. Flagged by autoreview against the transport resolver.
* test(ui): wait for deferred plugin requests before resolving in e2e
* feat(ui): plugins detail view, action menus, and unified ClawHub search
Reworks the plugins page from PR #103176 feedback: merges the ClawHub tab into
Discover (typing searches ClawHub inline and appends a quiet From ClawHub
section, with Browse ClawHub demoted to a header text link), makes every row and
store card open a plugin detail overlay (hero art, primary enable/install
action, metadata table), and replaces enable/disable switches with a state chip
plus an overflow menu (Enable/Disable, Remove for external plugins, View
details) matching the ChatGPT-store install+menu pattern. MCP rows use the same
menu; refresh is now icon-only.
* chore(ui): regenerate locale bundles for plugins UI iteration
* feat(ui): vetted, grouped connector catalog for the plugins store
Expands Connect your world to 28 connectors organized into use-case shelves
(Work & productivity, Coding & infrastructure, Home & media, Everyday life).
Every entry passed a three-stage subagent review: official-docs verification
plus live endpoint probes for MCP servers, ClawHub result-quality and
malware/typosquat screening for curated searches, and an adversarial pass
that dynamically registered OAuth clients to prove one-click viability.
That review removed Figma (registration allowlisted, 403) and Atlassian
(OAuth issuer-mismatch bug upstream), downgraded GitHub to PAT-based setup
(no dynamic client registration upstream), fixed Linear (/sse retired) and
Home Assistant (/api/mcp, streamable HTTP) endpoints, retargeted poisoned or
dead searches (youtube, finance, hue dropped; calendar -> google calendar;
stocks replaces finance), and added Todoist, Airtable, Canva, Stripe,
Context7, DeepWiki, Hugging Face one-click MCP servers plus Jira, PDF,
transcription, Kubernetes, Reddit, maps, translation, and notes searches.
Keyless servers get a ready-to-use success message; new cover art included.
* chore(ui): regenerate locale bundles for connector groups
* fix(plugins): suppress hosted catalog rows once their package is installed
Hosted feed entries without a declared runtime id fall back to their package
name as catalog id, which never matches the installed runtime id, so the
Discover shelf kept offering an already-installed package. Installed package
names now also suppress official rows. Flagged by autoreview.
* fix(plugins): pin declared runtime ids and surface connector errors in place
The runtime-id pin now keys off explicitly declared catalog ids (plugin,
channel, or provider) instead of string-comparing against the package name,
so declared ids that equal their package name stay enforced while entry-id
fallbacks stay unpinned. Connector add failures on Discover now render on the
triggering card instead of the Installed tab's MCP section. Both flagged by
autoreview; regression tests included.
* feat(ui): full inventory artwork, pulse header, and two-column plugin list
Every bundled plugin now ships distinctive cover art (113 new Codex CLI
illustrations; 172 total, ~2.1MB WebP), so inventory rows and detail views
never fall back to monogram tiles. The four stat cards give way to a compact
inventory pulse: a segmented enabled/disabled/issues meter whose legend and
counts live inside the filter chips. Inventory, MCP, and search rows flow
into two columns when the panel is wide enough.
* chore(ui): regenerate locale bundles for pulse header
* fix(ui): omit stdio args from the MCP server row target
Stdio MCP args routinely carry tokens, and the inventory is visible to
read-only operators; mirror the config page and show only the command.
Flagged by autoreview; regression test included.
* fix(merge): point crestodian setup at relocated plugin commit/refresh modules
* fix(merge): add bootstrapToken to plugins page test gateway harness
* fix(plugins): name catalog install-action branches so Swift emits the union
* fix(ui): satisfy strict lint on plugins page form parsing and mocks
* chore(build): regen docs map, raise plugin-sdk declaration budget for new protocol surface
* fix(ui): type the plugins page patch mock with its real call signature
Paired devices can now carry a durable operator-assigned label: device.pair.rename { deviceId, label } (schema-bounded, admin/ownership-gated) stores an operatorLabel that persists in the shared SQLite state DB, survives device repair and re-approval, and takes display precedence over the client-reported name in CLI devices list and the Control UI inventory (operatorLabel, then displayName, then clientId, then deviceId). The label was previously dropped on write because the pairing store had no column for it. CLI: openclaw devices rename --device <id> --name <label>. Docs cover the command and precedence.

Adds client-capability-gated tool availability: gateway clients declare
capabilities at connect (new inline-widgets cap), chat.send stamps them into
the run context, and every tool assembly path (embedded runner, queued
followups, Codex app-server harness, plugin-only construction plans) drops
tools whose requiredClientCaps the originating client did not declare. The
Canvas plugin ships the first such tool, show_widget: agents pass SVG or an
HTML fragment plus a title; the plugin hosts it as a bounded, retention-scoped
Canvas document and returns the existing canvas preview handle, which web chat
renders as a sandboxed iframe fitted to the widget's reported content height.
Widget frames never get allow-same-origin (per-preview sandbox ceiling,
including the sidebar path) and the Canvas host serves widget documents with a
CSP sandbox header so direct navigation runs in an opaque origin. Verified
live end-to-end on a Testbox with gpt-5.5 (screenshots on the PR). CLI-backed
model backends do not carry client caps yet and stay fail-closed (#102577).
Closes#101790
* feat(cron): add headless code-mode driver and trigger-script evaluator
Part A of cron event triggers: runCodeModeScriptHeadless runs a script
to completion (exec/settle/resume, no snapshots, no session), plus the
cron-facing evaluator with per-job tool catalog cache, semaphore, 16KB
state cap, and closed failure taxonomy.
* fix(cron): correct trigger-script bootstrap flags and cache narrowing
* feat(cron): add event triggers (polled condition-watcher scripts)
Part B: trigger field on cron jobs gated by cron.triggers.enabled;
timer evaluates the script each due tick, quiet ticks leave no run
history, fired runs append the script message to the payload; once
semantics, min-interval floor, SQLite columns, RPC/CLI/agent-tool
surfaces, and docs.
* fix(cron): propagate triggerEval through startup catch-up outcomes
* fix(cron): honor cron staggering on quiet trigger ticks; fix trigger test types
* fix(cron): reject with Error reason in trigger-script abort test
* fix(cron): regenerate protocol/docs/snapshot artifacts and break madge cycle for trigger types
CI fixes for #101195: trigger evaluator result types move to the cron
types leaf (madge cycle), cron tool schema inventory gains trigger,
Swift protocol bindings + docs map + Linux prompt snapshots regenerated.
* fix(cron): drop underscore-dangle names in trigger code sync assert
* fix(cron): adopt registerHeadlessToolSearchCatalog after tool-search symbol localization
Upstream #101831 made registerToolSearchCatalog module-private; fold the
headless ref-only catalog registration into one public seam.
* fix(gateway): support native Windows exec approvals

sessions.delete gains an explicit archivedOnly param (additive protocol
schema change, Swift models regenerated): with archivedOnly=true, the
dispatcher grants operator.write and the handler requires the target to
already be archived (archive-then-delete keeps destructive intent a
two-step action). Without the flag nothing changes: deletes require
operator.admin, so internal fallback/synthetic dispatch, subagent cleanup,
and CLI minting keep their admin contracts, and the session-kill HTTP
endpoint pins admin explicitly since it terminates live runs.
Android sends archivedOnly and offers Delete only on archived rows, where
its bounded (non-admin) operator session is now authorized; active rows
archive first. iOS/web connect with admin and keep unrestricted deletes.
Refs #100712
Tracks per-skill usage from the skill.used diagnostic event (trusted-only
delivery, file-scoped identity), sweeps workshop-created skills daily from
gateway maintenance (active -> stale 30d -> archived 90d, pinned bypass,
restore-only unarchive, files never touched), filters archived skills from
snapshots fail-open, reports workspace-scoped overlap candidates, and adds
openclaw skills curator CLI, additive gateway methods, and a warn-only
doctor finding. Zero new config keys; SQLite/Kysely state only.
* feat(ui): link file paths in chat and add workspace file viewer sidebar
Auto-detect file paths in chat markdown (plain paths, path:line, inline
code, explicit/absolute links) and render them as clickable links that
open a dedicated file viewer sidebar with line numbers, highlight.js
syntax highlighting, scroll-to-line, in-file search, reveal-in-rail,
open-in-editor, and copy actions. Workspace rail browser entries are
now previewable even when the transcript never touched them;
sessions.files.get serves any file inside the workspace root with the
existing containment, symlink/hardlink, and size guards.
Closes#100615
* feat(ui): linkify file paths in sidebar markdown and fix file-view gutter width
Markdown rendered in the chat detail sidebar now gets the same clickable
file links as chat messages, opening files via the panel's own click
delegation. File viewer gutter uses a fixed per-file digit width so
short lines no longer indent their code past longer ones.
* fix(ui): keep browser-entry active highlight and narrow file content for editor open
loadWorkspace no longer clears the rail active marker for browser-only
entries, so Show in Files keeps the revealed file highlighted after the
forced reload. openInEditor narrows the sidebar content kind before use,
fixing the tsgo type error.
* chore(ui): fix lint findings in file viewer helpers
* fix(ui): harden workspace file previews
* fix(ui): wire file previews through chat panes
* fix(ui): preserve workspace file targets
* fix(ui): preserve workspace file targets
Gateway (additive, no protocol version bump): SessionEntry gains
lastReadAt/markedUnreadAt/lastActivityAt; session rows expose a derived
unread flag (explicit mark, or last read before latest activity; never-read
sessions stay read so upgrades do not light up). lastActivityAt is stamped
in the canonical post-run store update - user, channel, and cron runs count
as activity; heartbeat, internal-event, and preserved-state runs do not.
sessions.patch gains unread; sessions.create gains fork (transcript fork
from parentSessionKey under the parent lifecycle lock, refusing active,
concurrently-changed, and oversized parents, cross-agent aware).
Web sidebar: Pinned/custom-group/Ungrouped sections, unread dots, kebab and
right-click context menu (pin, mark unread/read, rename, fork, move to group,
archive, delete guarded for agent main sessions and active runs), mark-read
on view with loop-safe re-acknowledgement and failure retry; sessions page
gets unread + fork actions and shared custom-group helpers.
iOS Command Center: grouped sections, unread/pin indicators, Show Archived
gated on per-entry state, full context menu with rename/new-group alerts and
delete confirmation, current-session preview guarantee, read-episode
re-acknowledgement; new patch/delete/fork transport calls; Swift protocol
models regenerated.
Android SessionsScreen: grouped headers, unread/pin indicators, Archived
filter gated on per-entry state, long-press menu with the full control set,
agent-scoped forks, explicit label/category clears from session events,
main-session fallback when archiving/deleting the open chat, read-episode
re-acknowledgement with failure retry.
Closes#100739
* feat: correlate native search outcomes in audit history
Metadata-only audit ledger for agent runs and tool actions in the shared
state DB: stable event identity, closed action/status/error vocabularies,
one-way-hashed tool-call ids, never-inferred terminal outcomes for native
web-search (explicit completed/failed only; otherwise unknown), bounded
retention, audit.list gateway RPC and openclaw audit CLI. Squashed from
the 82-commit audit stack for replay onto current main.
* feat(audit): add audit.enabled config gate (default on)
The metadata-only audit ledger records by default: an audit trail enabled
only after an incident cannot explain the incident, and the rows are
strictly less sensitive than the transcripts every install already
stores. audit.enabled=false stops new writes at the gateway subscription
seam; audit.list and openclaw audit keep serving existing records until
they expire. Documented in the configuration reference, protocol page,
and CLI reference.
* fix: repair full-matrix CI findings after rebase
- break the dynamic-tools/dynamic-tool-execution import cycle by
extracting resolveCodexToolAbortTerminalReason into a leaf module
- restore main's session-worktree protocol exports lost in the
index.ts auto-merge
- register the audit event writer worker as a knip entry point
- docs table formatting; subagent wait-cancellation test scoped to its
audit intent (outcome + timing) and advanced past main's new
lifecycle-timeout retry grace
Adds an additive worktree flag to sessions.create so any new chat can run in an
isolated managed worktree of the agent's git workspace, with the branch checked
out and .worktreeinclude provisioning applied. The session's spawnedCwd points at
the matching subdirectory inside the worktree so chat runs, CLI, and the file
browser execute there. agents.list gains workspaceGit (workspace or an ancestor
is a git checkout) to gate the affordance; web sidebar, iOS, and Android expose a
New-Chat-in-worktree action. Uses the method's operator.write scope, but the
.openclaw/worktree-setup.sh step runs only for operator.admin callers since it
executes repo code. Deleting the session, or leaving via a plain New Chat, clears
the cwd and lossless-removes the worktree; idle GC treats recent session activity
as worktree activity so an active session's checkout is never swept.
Live-verified end-to-end on a real gateway; follow-up to #100535 (issue #100534).
Centralized managed worktrees under <state-dir>/worktrees/<repo-fingerprint>/<name>
with branch-per-task (openclaw/<name>), .worktreeinclude provisioning, an optional
.openclaw/worktree-setup.sh repo hook, and a SQLite registry in the shared state DB.
Removal always snapshots the tree (untracked included, gitignored excluded) to
refs/openclaw/snapshots/<id>; restore rebuilds the branch at the original commit with
the snapshot content as uncommitted state. Lossless run-end cleanup, 7-day idle GC for
run-owned worktrees (manual exempt), orphan reconciliation, 30-day snapshot retention.
Surfaces: worktrees.* gateway RPC (operator.admin mutations), openclaw worktrees CLI,
Control UI page, plugin-SDK facade + Workboard kind:"worktree" materialization.
E2E-verified on Testbox: full create->work->remove->restore->gc lifecycle.
Approval wait now fits inside the Codex dynamic-tool watchdog (70s +10s
gateway grace under the 90s kill), approval cards carry proposal id,
skill name, description, file count, and body size (spoof-safe
rendering), and timeouts return a structured pending-not-failed outcome
instead of a bare error. Expired requests cannot execute late; no
auto-apply; generic plugin approvals unchanged.
