Openclaw Release Notes

Changes

• Models/Google: add Gemini 3.1 support (google/gemini-3.1-pro-preview).
• Providers/Onboarding: add Volcano Engine (Doubao) and BytePlus providers/models (including coding variants), wire onboarding auth choices for interactive + non-interactive flows, and align docs to volcengine-api-key. (#7967) Thanks @funmore123.
• Channels/CLI: add per-account/channel defaultTo outbound routing fallback so openclaw agent --deliver can send without explicit --reply-to when a default target is configured. (#16985) Thanks @KirillShchetinin.
• Channels: allow per-channel model overrides via channels.modelByChannel and note them in /status. Thanks @thewilloftheshadow.
• Telegram/Streaming: simplify preview streaming config to channels.telegram.streaming (boolean), auto-map legacy streamMode values, and remove block-vs-partial preview branching. (#22012) thanks @obviyus.
• Discord/Streaming: add stream preview mode for live draft replies with partial/block options and configurable chunking. Thanks @thewilloftheshadow. Inspiration @neoagentic-ship-it.
• Discord/Telegram: add configurable lifecycle status reactions for queued/thinking/tool/done/error phases with a shared controller and emoji/timing overrides. Thanks @wolly-tundracube and @thewilloftheshadow.
• Discord/Voice: add voice channel join/leave/status via /vc, plus auto-join configuration for realtime voice conversations. Thanks @thewilloftheshadow.
• Discord: add configurable ephemeral defaults for slash-command responses. (#16563) Thanks @wei.
• Discord: support updating forum available_tags via channel edit actions for forum tag management. (#12070) Thanks @xiaoyaner0201.
• Discord: include channel topics in trusted inbound metadata on new sessions. Thanks @thewilloftheshadow.
• Discord/Subagents: add thread-bound subagent sessions on Discord with per-thread focus/list controls and thread-bound continuation routing for spawned helper agents. (#21805) Thanks @onutc.
• iOS/Chat: clean chat UI noise by stripping inbound untrusted metadata/timestamp prefixes, formatting tool outputs into concise summaries/errors, compacting the composer while typing, and supporting tap-to-dismiss keyboard in chat view. (#22122) thanks @mbelinky.
• iOS/Watch: bridge mirrored watch prompt notification actions into iOS quick-reply handling, including queued action handoff until app model initialization. (#22123) thanks @mbelinky.
• iOS/Gateway: stabilize background wake and reconnect behavior with background reconnect suppression/lease windows, BGAppRefresh wake fallback, location wake hook throttling, and APNs wake retry+nudge instrumentation. (#21226) thanks @mbelinky.
• Auto-reply/UI: add model fallback lifecycle visibility in verbose logs, /status active-model context with fallback reason, and cohesive WebUI fallback indicators. (#20704) Thanks @joshavant.
• MSTeams: dedupe sent-message cache storage by removing duplicate per-message Set storage and using timestamps Map keys as the single membership source. (#22514) Thanks @TaKO8Ki.
• Agents/Subagents: default subagent spawn depth now uses shared maxSpawnDepth=2, enabling depth-1 orchestrator spawning by default while keeping depth policy checks consistent across spawn and prompt paths. (#22223) Thanks @tyler6204.
• Security/Agents: make owner-ID obfuscation use a dedicated HMAC secret from configuration (ownerDisplaySecret) and update hashing behavior so obfuscation is decoupled from gateway token handling for improved control. (#7343) Thanks @vincentkoc.
• Security/Infra: switch gateway lock and tool-call synthetic IDs from SHA-1 to SHA-256 with unchanged truncation length to strengthen hash basis while keeping deterministic behavior and lock key format. (#7343) Thanks @vincentkoc.
• Dependencies/Tooling: add non-blocking dead-code scans in CI via Knip/ts-prune/ts-unused-exports to surface unused dependencies and exports earlier. (#22468) Thanks @vincentkoc.
• Dependencies/Unused Dependencies: remove or scope unused root and extension deps (@larksuiteoapi/node-sdk, signal-utils, ollama, lit, @lit/context, @lit-labs/signals, @microsoft/agents-hosting-express, @microsoft/agents-hosting-extensions-teams, and plugin-local openclaw devDeps in extensions/open-prose, extensions/lobster, and extensions/llm-task). (#22471, #22495) Thanks @vincentkoc.
• Dependencies/A2UI: harden dependency resolution after root cleanup (resolve lit, @lit/context, @lit-labs/signals, and signal-utils from workspace/root) and simplify bundling fallback behavior, including pnpm dlx rolldown compatibility. (#22481, #22507) Thanks @vincentkoc.
• Fixes
• Security/Agents: cap embedded Pi runner outer retry loop with a higher profile-aware dynamic limit (32-160 attempts) and return an explicit retry_limit error payload when retries never converge, preventing unbounded internal retry cycles (GHSA-76m6-pj3w-v7mf).
• Telegram: detect duplicate bot-token ownership across Telegram accounts at startup/status time, mark secondary accounts as not configured with an explicit fix message, and block duplicate account startup before polling to avoid endless getUpdates conflict loops.
• Agents/Tool images: include source filenames in agents/tool-images resize logs so compression events can be traced back to specific files.
• Providers/OAuth: harden Qwen and Chutes refresh handling by validating refresh response expiry values and preserving prior refresh tokens when providers return empty refresh token fields, with regression coverage for empty-token responses.
• Models/Kimi-Coding: add missing implicit provider template for kimi-coding with correct anthropic-messages API type and base URL, fixing 403 errors when using Kimi for Coding. (#22409)
• Auto-reply/Tools: forward senderIsOwner through embedded queued/followup runner params so owner-only tools remain available for authorized senders. (#22296) thanks @hcoj.
• Discord: restore model picker back navigation when a provider is missing and document the Discord picker flow. (#21458) Thanks @pejmanjohn and @thewilloftheshadow.
• Memory/QMD: respect per-agent memorySearch.enabled=false during gateway QMD startup initialization, split multi-collection QMD searches into per-collection queries (search/vsearch/query) to avoid sparse-term drops, prefer collection-hinted doc resolution to avoid stale-hash collisions, retry boot updates on transient lock/timeout failures, skip qmd embed in BM25-only search mode (including memory index --force), and serialize embed runs globally with failure backoff to prevent CPU storms on multi-agent hosts. (#20581, #21590, #20513, #20001, #21266, #21583, #20346, #19493) Thanks @danielrevivo, @zanderkrause, @sunyan034-cmd, @tilleulenspiegel, @dae-oss, @adamlongcreativellc, @jonathanadams96, and @kiliansitel.
• Memory/Builtin: prevent automatic sync races with manager shutdown by skipping post-close sync starts and waiting for in-flight sync before closing SQLite, so onSearch/onSessionStart no longer fail with database is not open in ephemeral CLI flows. (#20556, #7464) Thanks @FuzzyTG and @henrybottter.
• Providers/Copilot: drop persisted assistant thinking blocks for Claude models (while preserving turn structure/tool blocks) so follow-up requests no longer fail on invalid thinkingSignature payloads. (#19459) Thanks @jackheuberger.
• Providers/Copilot: add claude-sonnet-4.6 and claude-sonnet-4.5 to the default GitHub Copilot model catalog and add coverage for model-list/definition helpers. (#20270, fixes #20091) Thanks @Clawborn.
• Auto-reply/WebChat: avoid defaulting inbound runtime channel labels to unrelated providers (for example whatsapp) for webchat sessions so channel-specific formatting guidance stays accurate. (#21534) Thanks @lbo728.
• Status: include persisted cacheRead/cacheWrite in session summaries so compact /status output consistently shows cache hit percentages from real session data.
• Heartbeat/Cron: restore interval heartbeat behavior so missing HEARTBEAT.md no longer suppresses runs (only effectively empty files skip), preserving prompt-driven and tagged-cron execution paths.
• WhatsApp/Cron/Heartbeat: enforce allowlisted routing for implicit scheduled/system delivery by merging pairing-store + configured allowFrom recipients, selecting authorized recipients when last-route context points to a non-allowlisted chat, and preventing heartbeat fan-out to recent unauthorized chats.
• Heartbeat/Active hours: constrain active-hours 24 sentinel parsing to 24:00 in time validation so invalid values like 24:30 are rejected early. (#21410) thanks @adhitShet.
• Heartbeat: treat activeHours windows with identical start/end times as zero-width (always outside the window) instead of always-active. (#21408) thanks @adhitShet.
• CLI/Pairing: default pairing list and pairing approve to the sole available pairing channel when omitted, so TUI-only setups can recover from pairing required without guessing channel arguments. (#21527) Thanks @losts1.
• TUI/Pairing: show explicit pairing-required recovery guidance after gateway disconnects that return pairing required, including approval steps to unblock quickstart TUI hatching on fresh installs. (#21841) Thanks @nicolinux.
• TUI/Input: suppress duplicate backspace events arriving in the same input burst window so SSH sessions no longer delete two characters per backspace press in the composer. (#19318) Thanks @eheimer.
• TUI/Heartbeat: suppress heartbeat ACK/prompt noise in chat streaming when showOk is disabled, while still preserving non-ACK heartbeat alerts in final output. (#20228) Thanks @bhalliburton.
• TUI/History: cap chat-log component growth and prune stale render nodes/references so large default history loads no longer overflow render recursion with RangeError: Maximum call stack size exceeded. (#18068) Thanks @Jani Jegoroff.
• Memory/QMD: diversify mixed-source search ranking when both session and memory collections are present so session transcript hits no longer crowd out durable memory-file matches in top results. (#19913) Thanks @alextempr.
• Memory/Tools: return explicit unavailable warnings/actions from memory_search when embedding/provider failures occur (including quota exhaustion), so disabled memory does not look like an empty recall result. (#21894) Thanks @XBS9.
• Session/Startup: require the /new and /reset greeting path to run Session Startup file-reading instructions before responding, so daily memory startup context is not skipped on fresh-session greetings. (#22338) Thanks @armstrong-pv.
• Auth/Onboarding: align OAuth profile-id config mapping with stored credential IDs for OpenAI Codex and Chutes flows, preventing provider:default mismatches when OAuth returns email-scoped credentials. (#12692) thanks @mudrii.
• Provider/HTTP: treat HTTP 503 as failover-eligible for LLM provider errors. (#21086) Thanks @Protocol-zero-0.
• Slack: pass recipient_team_id / recipient_user_id through Slack native streaming calls so chat.startStream/appendStream/stopStream work reliably across DMs and Slack Connect setups, and disable block streaming when native streaming is active. (#20988) Thanks @Dithilli. Earlier recipient-ID groundwork was contributed in #20377 by @AsserAl1012.
• CLI/Config: add canonical --strict-json parsing for config set and keep --json as a legacy alias to reduce help/behavior drift. (#21332) thanks @adhitShet.
• CLI: keep openclaw -v as a root-only version alias so subcommand -v, --verbose flags (for example ACP/hooks/skills) are no longer intercepted globally. (#21303) thanks @adhitShet.
• Memory: return empty snippets when memory_get/QMD read files that have not been created yet, and harden memory indexing/session helpers against ENOENT races so missing Markdown no longer crashes tools. (#20680) Thanks @pahdo.
• Telegram/Streaming: always clean up draft previews even when dispatch throws before fallback handling, preventing orphaned preview messages during failed runs. (#19041) thanks @mudrii.
• Telegram/Streaming: split reasoning and answer draft preview lanes to prevent cross-lane overwrites, and ignore literal <think> tags inside inline/fenced code snippets so sample markup is not misrouted as reasoning. (#20774) Thanks @obviyus.
• Telegram/Streaming: restore 30-char first-preview debounce and scope NO_REPLY prefix suppression to partial sentinel fragments so normal No... text is not filtered. (#22613) thanks @obviyus.
• Telegram/Status reactions: refresh stall timers on repeated phase updates and honor ack-reaction scope when lifecycle reactions are enabled, preventing false stall emojis and unwanted group reactions. Thanks @wolly-tundracube and @thewilloftheshadow.
• Telegram/Status reactions: keep lifecycle reactions active when available-reactions lookup fails by falling back to unrestricted variant selection instead of suppressing reaction updates. (#22380) thanks @obviyus.
• Discord/Streaming: apply replyToMode: first only to the first Discord chunk so block-streamed replies do not spam mention pings. (#20726) Thanks @thewilloftheshadow for the report.
• Discord/Components: map DM channel targets back to user-scoped component sessions so button/select interactions stay in the main DM session. Thanks @thewilloftheshadow.
• Discord/Allowlist: lazy-load guild lists when resolving Discord user allowlists so ID-only entries resolve even if guild fetch fails. (#20208) Thanks @zhangjunmengyang.
• Discord/Gateway: handle close code 4014 (missing privileged gateway intents) without crashing the gateway. Thanks @thewilloftheshadow.
• Discord: ingest inbound stickers as media so sticker-only messages and forwarded stickers are visible to agents. Thanks @thewilloftheshadow.
• Auto-reply/Runner: emit onAgentRunStart only after agent lifecycle or tool activity begins (and only once per run), so fallback preflight errors no longer mark runs as started. (#21165) Thanks @shakkernerd.
• Auto-reply/Tool results: serialize tool-result delivery and keep the delivery chain progressing after individual failures so concurrent tool outputs preserve user-visible ordering. (#21231) thanks @ahdernasr.
• Auto-reply/Prompt caching: restore prefix-cache stability by keeping inbound system metadata session-stable and moving per-message IDs (message_id, message_id_full, reply_to_id, sender_id) into untrusted conversation context. (#20597) Thanks @anisoptera.
• iOS/Watch: add actionable watch approval/reject controls and quick-reply actions so watch-originated approvals and responses can be sent directly from notification flows. (#21996) Thanks @mbelinky.
• iOS/Watch: refresh iOS and watch app icon assets with the lobster icon set to keep phone/watch branding aligned. (#21997) Thanks @mbelinky.
• CLI/Onboarding: fix Anthropic-compatible custom provider verification by normalizing base URLs to avoid duplicate /v1 paths during setup checks. (#21336) Thanks @17jmumford.
• iOS/Gateway/Tools: prefer uniquely connected node matches when duplicate display names exist, surface actionable nodes invoke pairing-required guidance with request IDs, and refresh active iOS gateway registration after location-capability setting changes so capability updates apply immediately. (#22120) thanks @mbelinky.
• Gateway/Auth: require gateway.trustedProxies to include a loopback proxy address when auth.mode="trusted-proxy" and bind="loopback", preventing same-host proxy misconfiguration from silently blocking auth. (#22082, follow-up to #20097) thanks @mbelinky.
• Gateway/Auth: allow trusted-proxy mode with loopback bind for same-host reverse-proxy deployments, while still requiring configured gateway.trustedProxies. (#20097) thanks @xinhuagu.
• Gateway/Auth: allow authenticated clients across roles/scopes to call health while preserving role and scope enforcement for non-health methods. (#19699) thanks @Nachx639.
• Gateway/Hooks: include transform export name in hook-transform cache keys so distinct exports from the same module do not reuse the wrong cached transform function. (#13855) thanks @mcaxtr.
• Gateway/Control UI: return 404 for missing static-asset paths instead of serving SPA fallback HTML, while preserving client-route fallback behavior for extensionless and non-asset dotted paths. (#12060) thanks @mcaxtr.
• Gateway/Pairing: prevent device-token rotate scope escalation by enforcing an approved-scope baseline, preserving approved scopes across metadata updates, and rejecting rotate requests that exceed approved role scope implications. (#20703) thanks @coygeek.
• Gateway/Pairing: clear persisted paired-device state when the gateway client closes with device token mismatch (1008) so reconnect flows can cleanly re-enter pairing. (#22071) Thanks @mbelinky.
• Gateway/Config: allow gateway.customBindHost in strict config validation when gateway.bind="custom" so valid custom bind-host configurations no longer fail startup. (#20318, fixes #20289) Thanks @MisterGuy420.
• Gateway/Pairing: tolerate legacy paired devices missing roles/scopes metadata in websocket upgrade checks and backfill metadata on reconnect. (#21447, fixes #21236) Thanks @joshavant.
• Gateway/Pairing/CLI: align read-scope compatibility in pairing/device-token checks and add local openclaw devices fallback recovery for loopback pairing required deadlocks, with explicit fallback notice to unblock approval bootstrap flows. (#21616) Thanks @shakkernerd.
• 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.
• 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.
• Agents/Subagents: restore announce-chain delivery to agent injection, defer nested announce output until descendant follow-up content is ready, and prevent descendant deferrals from consuming announce retry budget so deep chains do not drop final completions. (#22223) Thanks @tyler6204.
• Agents/System Prompt: label allowlisted senders as authorized senders to avoid implying ownership. Thanks @thewilloftheshadow.
• Agents/Tool display: fix exec cwd suffix inference so pushd ... && popd ... && does not keep stale (in ) context in summaries. (#21925) Thanks @Lukavyi.
• Tools/web_search: handle xAI Responses API payloads that emit top-level output_text blocks (without a message wrapper) so Grok web_search no longer returns No response for those results. (#20508) Thanks @echoVic.
• Agents/Failover: treat non-default override runs as direct fallback-to-configured-primary (skip configured fallback chain), normalize default-model detection for provider casing/whitespace, and add regression coverage for override/auth error paths. (#18820) Thanks @Glucksberg.
• Docker/Build: include ownerDisplay in CommandsSchema object-level defaults so Docker pnpm build no longer fails with TS2769 during plugin SDK d.ts generation. (#22558) Thanks @obviyus.
• Docker/Browser: install Playwright Chromium into /home/node/.cache/ms-playwright and set node:node ownership so browser binaries are available to the runtime user in browser-enabled images. (#22585) thanks @obviyus.
• Hooks/Session memory: trigger bundled session-memory persistence on both /new and /reset so reset flows no longer skip markdown transcript capture before archival. (#21382) Thanks @mofesolapaul.
• Dependencies/Agents: bump embedded Pi SDK packages (@mariozechner/pi-agent-core, @mariozechner/pi-ai, @mariozechner/pi-coding-agent, @mariozechner/pi-tui) to 0.54.0. (#21578) Thanks @Takhoffman.
• Config/Agents: expose Pi compaction tuning values agents.defaults.compaction.reserveTokens and agents.defaults.compaction.keepRecentTokens in config schema/types and apply them in embedded Pi runner settings overrides with floor enforcement via reserveTokensFloor. (#21568) Thanks @Takhoffman.
• Docker: pin base images to SHA256 digests in Docker builds to prevent mutable tag drift. (#7734) Thanks @coygeek.
• Docker: run build steps as the node user and use COPY --chown to avoid recursive ownership changes, trimming image size and layer churn. Thanks @huntharo.
• Config/Memory: restore schema help/label metadata for hybrid mmr and temporalDecay settings so configuration surfaces show correct names and guidance. (#18786) Thanks @rodrigouroz.
• Skills/SonosCLI: add troubleshooting guidance for sonos discover failures on macOS direct mode (sendto: no route to host) and sandbox network restrictions (bind: operation not permitted). (#21316) Thanks @huntharo.
• macOS/Build: default release packaging to BUNDLE_ID=ai.openclaw.mac in scripts/package-mac-dist.sh, so Sparkle feed URL is retained and auto-update no longer fails with an empty appcast feed. (#19750) thanks @loganprit.
• Signal/Outbound: preserve case for Base64 group IDs during outbound target normalization so cross-context routing and policy checks no longer break when group IDs include uppercase characters. (#5578) Thanks @heyhudson.
• Anthropic/Agents: preserve required pi-ai default OAuth beta headers when context1m injects anthropic-beta, preventing 401 auth failures for sk-ant-oat-* tokens. (#19789, fixes #19769) Thanks @minupla.
• Security/Exec: block unquoted heredoc body expansion tokens in shell allowlist analysis, reject unterminated heredocs, and require explicit approval for allowlisted heredoc execution on gateway hosts to prevent heredoc substitution allowlist bypass. Thanks @torturado for reporting.
• macOS/Security: evaluate system.run allowlists per shell segment in macOS node runtime and companion exec host (including chained shell operators), fail closed on shell/process substitution parsing, and require explicit approval on unsafe parse cases to prevent allowlist bypass via rawCommand chaining. Thanks @tdjackey for reporting.
• WhatsApp/Security: enforce allowlist JID authorization for reaction actions so authenticated callers cannot target non-allowlisted chats by forging chatJid + valid messageId pairs. Thanks @aether-ai-agent for reporting.
• ACP/Security: escape control and delimiter characters in ACP resource_link title/URI metadata before prompt interpolation to prevent metadata-driven prompt injection through resource links. Thanks @aether-ai-agent for reporting.
• TTS/Security: make model-driven provider switching opt-in by default (messages.tts.modelOverrides.allowProvider=false unless explicitly enabled), while keeping voice/style overrides available, to reduce prompt-injection-driven provider hops and unexpected TTS cost escalation. Thanks @aether-ai-agent for reporting.
• Security/Agents: keep overflow compaction retry budgeting global across tool-result truncation recovery so successful truncation cannot reset the overflow retry counter and amplify retry/cost cycles. Thanks @aether-ai-agent for reporting.
• BlueBubbles/Security: require webhook token authentication for all BlueBubbles webhook requests (including loopback/proxied setups), removing passwordless webhook fallback behavior. Thanks @zpbrent.
• iOS/Security: force https:// for non-loopback manual gateway hosts during iOS onboarding to block insecure remote transport URLs. (#21969) Thanks @mbelinky.
• Gateway/Security: remove shared-IP fallback for canvas endpoints and require token or session capability for canvas access. Thanks @thewilloftheshadow.
• Gateway/Security: require secure context and paired-device checks for Control UI auth even when gateway.controlUi.allowInsecureAuth is set, and align audit messaging with the hardened behavior. (#20684) Thanks @coygeek and @Vasco0x4 for reporting.
• Gateway/Security: scope tokenless Tailscale forwarded-header auth to Control UI websocket auth only, so HTTP gateway routes still require token/password even on trusted hosts. Thanks @zpbrent for reporting.
• Docker/Security: run E2E and install-sh test images as non-root by adding appuser directives. Thanks @thewilloftheshadow.
• Skills/Security: sanitize skill env overrides to block unsafe runtime injection variables and only allow sensitive keys when declared in skill metadata, with warnings for suspicious values. Thanks @thewilloftheshadow.
• Security/Commands: block prototype-key injection in runtime /debug overrides and require own-property checks for gated command flags (bash, config, debug) so inherited prototype values cannot enable privileged commands. Thanks @tdjackey for reporting.
• Security/Browser: block non-network browser navigation protocols (including file:, data:, and javascript:) while preserving about:blank, preventing local file reads via browser tool navigation. Thanks @q1uf3ng for reporting.
• Security/Exec: block shell startup-file env injection (BASH_ENV, ENV, BASH_FUNC_*, LD_*, DYLD_*) across config env ingestion, node-host inherited environment sanitization, and macOS exec host runtime to prevent pre-command execution from attacker-controlled environment variables. Thanks @tdjackey.
• Security/Exec (Windows): canonicalize cmd.exe /c command text across validation, approval binding, and audit/event rendering to prevent trailing-argument approval mismatches in system.run. Thanks @tdjackey for reporting.
• Security/Gateway/Hooks: block proto, constructor, and prototype traversal in webhook template path resolution to prevent prototype-chain payload data leakage in messageTemplate rendering. (#22213) Thanks @SleuthCo.
• Security/OpenClawKit/UI: prevent injected inbound user context metadata blocks from leaking into chat history in TUI, webchat, and macOS surfaces by stripping all untrusted metadata prefixes at display boundaries. (#22142) Thanks @Mellowambience, @vincentkoc.
• Security/OpenClawKit/UI: strip inbound metadata blocks from user messages in TUI rendering while preserving user-authored content. (#22345) Thanks @Kansodata, @vincentkoc.
• Security/OpenClawKit/UI: prevent inbound metadata leaks and reply-tag streaming artifacts in TUI rendering by stripping untrusted metadata prefixes at display boundaries. (#22346) Thanks @akramcodez, @vincentkoc.
• Security/Agents: restrict local MEDIA tool attachments to core tools and the OpenClaw temp root to prevent untrusted MCP tool file exfiltration. Thanks @NucleiAv and @thewilloftheshadow.
• Security/Net: strip sensitive headers (Authorization, Proxy-Authorization, Cookie, Cookie2) on cross-origin redirects in fetchWithSsrFGuard to prevent credential forwarding across origin boundaries. (#20313) Thanks @afurm.
• Security/Systemd: reject CR/LF in systemd unit environment values and fix argument escaping so generated units cannot be injected with extra directives. Thanks @thewilloftheshadow.
• Security/Tools: add per-wrapper random IDs to untrusted-content markers from wrapExternalContent/wrapWebContent, preventing marker spoofing from escaping content boundaries. (#19009) Thanks @Whoaa512.
• Shared/Security: reject insecure deep links that use ws:// non-loopback gateway URLs to prevent plaintext remote websocket configuration. (#21970) Thanks @mbelinky.
• macOS/Security: reject non-loopback ws:// remote gateway URLs in macOS remote config to block insecure plaintext websocket endpoints. (#21971) Thanks @mbelinky.
• Browser/Security: block upload path symlink escapes so browser upload sources cannot traverse outside the allowed workspace via symlinked paths. (#21972) Thanks @mbelinky.
• Security/Dependencies: bump transitive hono usage to 4.11.10 to incorporate timing-safe authentication comparison hardening for basicAuth/bearerAuth (GHSA-gq3j-xvxp-8hrf). Thanks @vincentkoc.
• Security/Gateway: parse X-Forwarded-For with trust-preserving semantics when requests come from configured trusted proxies, preventing proxy-chain spoofing from influencing client IP classification and rate-limit identity. Thanks @AnthonyDiSanti and @vincentkoc.
• Security/Sandbox: remove default --no-sandbox for the browser container entrypoint, add explicit opt-in via OPENCLAW_BROWSER_NO_SANDBOX / CLAWDBOT_BROWSER_NO_SANDBOX, and add security-audit checks for stale/missing sandbox browser Docker hash labels. Thanks @TerminalsandCoffee and @vincentkoc.
• Security/Sandbox Browser: require VNC password auth for noVNC observer sessions in the sandbox browser entrypoint, plumb per-container noVNC passwords from runtime, and emit short-lived noVNC observer token URLs while keeping loopback-only host port publishing. Thanks @TerminalsandCoffee for reporting.
• Security/Sandbox Browser: default browser sandbox containers to a dedicated Docker network (openclaw-sandbox-browser), add optional CDP ingress source-range restrictions, auto-create missing dedicated networks, and warn in openclaw security --audit when browser sandboxing runs on bridge without source-range limits. Thanks @TerminalsandCoffee for reporting.

Note: npm shipped a follow-up update fix as [email protected].

Changes

• iOS/Watch: add an Apple Watch companion MVP with watch inbox UI, watch notification relay handling, and gateway command surfaces for watch status/send flows. (#20054) Thanks @mbelinky.
• iOS/Gateway: wake disconnected iOS nodes via APNs before nodes.invoke and auto-reconnect gateway sessions on silent push wake to reduce invoke failures while the app is backgrounded. (#20332) Thanks @mbelinky.
• Gateway/CLI: add paired-device hygiene flows with device.pair.remove, plus openclaw devices remove and guarded openclaw devices clear --yes [--pending] commands for removing paired entries and optionally rejecting pending requests. (#20057) Thanks @mbelinky.
• iOS/APNs: add push registration and notification-signing configuration for node delivery. (#20308) Thanks @mbelinky.
• Gateway/APNs: add a push-test pipeline for APNs delivery validation in gateway flows. (#20307) Thanks @mbelinky.
• Security/Audit: add gateway.http.no_auth findings when gateway.auth.mode="none" leaves Gateway HTTP APIs reachable, with loopback warning and remote-exposure critical severity, plus regression coverage and docs updates.
• Skills: harden coding-agent skill guidance by removing shell-command examples that interpolate untrusted issue text directly into command strings.
• Dev tooling: align oxfmt local/CI formatting behavior. (#12579) Thanks @vincentkoc.
• Fixes
• Agents/Streaming: keep assistant partial streaming active during reasoning streams, handle native thinking_* stream events consistently, dedupe mixed reasoning-end signals, and clear stale mutating tool errors after same-target retry success. (#20635) Thanks @obviyus.
• iOS/Screen: move WKWebView lifecycle ownership into ScreenWebView coordinator and explicit attach/detach flow to reduce gesture/lifecycle crash risk (__NSArrayM insertObject:atIndex: paths) during screen tab updates. (#20366) Thanks @ngutman.
• iOS/Onboarding: prevent pairing-status flicker during auto-resume by keeping resumed state transitions stable. (#20310) Thanks @mbelinky.
• iOS/Onboarding: stabilize pairing and reconnect behavior by resetting stale pairing request state on manual retry, disconnecting both operator and node gateways on operator failure, and avoiding duplicate pairing loops from operator transport identity attachment. (#20056) Thanks @mbelinky.
• iOS/Signing: restore local auto-selected signing-team overrides during iOS project generation by wiring .local-signing.xcconfig into the active signing config and emitting OPENCLAW_DEVELOPMENT_TEAM in local signing setup. (#19993) Thanks @ngutman.
• Telegram: unify message-like inbound handling so message and channel_post share the same dedupe/access/media pipeline and remain behaviorally consistent. (#20591) Thanks @obviyus.
• Telegram/Agents: gate exec/bash tool-failure warnings behind verbose mode so default Telegram replies stay clean while verbose sessions still surface diagnostics. (#20560) Thanks @obviyus.
• Telegram/Cron/Heartbeat: honor explicit Telegram topic targets in cron and heartbeat delivery (<chatId>:topic:<threadId>) so scheduled sends land in the configured topic instead of the last active thread. (#19367) Thanks @Lukavyi.
• Gateway/Daemon: forward TMPDIR into installed service environments so macOS LaunchAgent gateway runs can open SQLite temp/journal files reliably instead of failing with SQLITE_CANTOPEN. (#20512) Thanks @Clawborn.
• Agents/Billing: include the active model that produced a billing error in user-facing billing messages (for example, OpenAI (gpt-5.3)) across payload, failover, and lifecycle error paths, so users can identify exactly which key needs credits. (#20510) Thanks @echoVic.
• Gateway/TUI: honor agents.defaults.blockStreamingDefault for chat.send by removing the hardcoded block-streaming disable override, so replies can use configured block-mode delivery. (#19693) Thanks @neipor.
• UI/Sessions: accept the canonical main session-key alias in Chat UI flows so main-session routing stays consistent. (#20311) Thanks @mbelinky.
• OpenClawKit/Protocol: preserve JSON boolean literals (true/false) when bridging through AnyCodable so Apple client RPC params no longer re-encode booleans as 1/0. Thanks @mbelinky.
• Commands/Doctor: skip embedding-provider warnings when memory.backend is qmd, because QMD manages embeddings internally and does not require memorySearch providers. (#17263) Thanks @miloudbelarebia.

npm post-release notes

• 2026.2.19-1 was published to npm under the beta dist-tag after this release cut.
• 2026.2.19-2 was published to npm under the beta dist-tag with the update restart-path fix so runtime status/version reflects the updated build correctly.

Changes

• iOS/Watch: add an Apple Watch companion MVP with watch inbox UI, watch notification relay handling, and gateway command surfaces for watch status/send flows. (#20054) Thanks @mbelinky.
• iOS/Gateway: wake disconnected iOS nodes via APNs before nodes.invoke and auto-reconnect gateway sessions on silent push wake to reduce invoke failures while the app is backgrounded. (#20332) Thanks @mbelinky.
• Gateway/CLI: add paired-device hygiene flows with device.pair.remove, plus openclaw devices remove and guarded openclaw devices clear --yes [--pending] commands for removing paired entries and optionally rejecting pending requests. (#20057) Thanks @mbelinky.
• iOS/APNs: add push registration and notification-signing configuration for node delivery. (#20308) Thanks @mbelinky.
• Gateway/APNs: add a push-test pipeline for APNs delivery validation in gateway flows. (#20307) Thanks @mbelinky.
• Security/Audit: add gateway.http.no_auth findings when gateway.auth.mode="none" leaves Gateway HTTP APIs reachable, with loopback warning and remote-exposure critical severity, plus regression coverage and docs updates.
• Skills: harden coding-agent skill guidance by removing shell-command examples that interpolate untrusted issue text directly into command strings.
• Dev tooling: align oxfmt local/CI formatting behavior. (#12579) Thanks @vincentkoc.
• Fixes
  • Agents/Streaming: keep assistant partial streaming active during reasoning streams, handle native thinking_* stream events consistently, dedupe mixed reasoning-end signals, and clear stale mutating tool errors after same-target retry success. (#20635) Thanks @obviyus.
  • iOS/Screen: move WKWebView lifecycle ownership into ScreenWebView coordinator and explicit attach/detach flow to reduce gesture/lifecycle crash risk (__NSArrayM insertObject:atIndex: paths) during screen tab updates. (#20366) Thanks @ngutman.
  • iOS/Onboarding: prevent pairing-status flicker during auto-resume by keeping resumed state transitions stable. (#20310) Thanks @mbelinky.
  • iOS/Onboarding: stabilize pairing and reconnect behavior by resetting stale pairing request state on manual retry, disconnecting both operator and node gateways on operator failure, and avoiding duplicate pairing loops from operator transport identity attachment. (#20056) Thanks @mbelinky.
  • iOS/Signing: restore local auto-selected signing-team overrides during iOS project generation by wiring .local-signing.xcconfig into the active signing config and emitting OPENCLAW_DEVELOPMENT_TEAM in local signing setup. (#19993) Thanks @ngutman.
  • Telegram: unify message-like inbound handling so message and channel_post share the same dedupe/access/media pipeline and remain behaviorally consistent. (#20591) Thanks @obviyus.
  • Telegram/Agents: gate exec/bash tool-failure warnings behind verbose mode so default Telegram replies stay clean while verbose sessions still surface diagnostics. (#20560) Thanks @obviyus.
  • Telegram/Cron/Heartbeat: honor explicit Telegram topic targets in cron and heartbeat delivery (:topic:) so scheduled sends land in the configured topic instead of the last active thread. (#19367) Thanks @Lukavyi.
  • Gateway/Daemon: forward TMPDIR into installed service environments so macOS LaunchAgent gateway runs can open SQLite temp/journal files reliably instead of failing with SQLITE_CANTOPEN. (#20512) Thanks @Clawborn.
  • Agents/Billing: include the active model that produced a billing error in user-facing billing messages (for example, OpenAI (gpt-5.3)) across payload, failover, and lifecycle error paths, so users can identify exactly which key needs credits. (#20510) Thanks @echoVic.
  • Gateway/TUI: honor agents.defaults.blockStreamingDefault for chat.send by removing the hardcoded block-streaming disable override, so replies can use configured block-mode delivery. (#19693) Thanks @neipor.
  • UI/Sessions: accept the canonical main session-key alias in Chat UI flows so main-session routing stays consistent. (#20311) Thanks @mbelinky.
  • OpenClawKit/Protocol: preserve JSON boolean literals (true/false) when bridging through AnyCodable so Apple client RPC params no longer re-encode booleans as 1/0. Thanks @mbelinky.
  • Commands/Doctor: skip embedding-provider warnings when memory.backend is qmd, because QMD manages embeddings internally and does not require memorySearch providers. (#17263) Thanks @miloudbelarebia.
  • Canvas/A2UI: improve bundled-asset resolution and empty-state handling so UI fallbacks render reliably. (#20312) Thanks @mbelinky.
  • Commands/Doctor: avoid rewriting invalid configs with new gateway.auth.token defaults during repair and only write when real config changes are detected, preventing accidental token duplication and backup churn.

Agents/Tools: make read auto-page across chunks (when no explicit limit is provided) and scale its per-call output budget from model contextWindow, so larger contexts can read more before context guards kick in. Thanks @tyler6204.
Agents/Tools: strip duplicated read truncation payloads from tool-result details and make pre-call context guarding account for heavy tool-result metadata, so repeated read calls no longer bypass compaction and overflow model context windows. Thanks @tyler6204.
Reply threading: keep reply context sticky across streamed/split chunks and preserve replyToId on all chunk sends across shared and channel-specific delivery paths (including iMessage, BlueBubbles, Telegram, Discord, and Matrix), so follow-up bubbles stay attached to the same referenced message. Thanks @tyler6204.
Gateway/Agent: defer transient lifecycle error snapshots with a short grace window so agent.wait does not resolve early during retry/failover. Thanks @tyler6204.

Thanks @steipete.
Gateway/WebChat: hard-cap chat.history oversized payloads by truncating high-cost fields and replacing over-budget entries with placeholders, so history fetches stay within configured byte limits and avoid chat UI freezes. (#18505)
UI/Usage: replace lingering undefined var(--text-muted) usage with var(--muted) in usage date-range and chart styles to keep muted text visible across themes. (#17975) Thanks @jogelin.
UI/Usage: preserve selected-range totals when timeline data is downsampled by bucket-aggregating timeseries points (instead of dropping intermediate points), so filtered tokens/cost stay accurate. (#17959) Thanks @jogelin.
UI/Sessions: refresh the sessions table only after successful deletes and preserve delete errors on cancel/failure paths, so deleted sessions disappear automatically without masking delete failures. (#18507)
Scripts/UI/Windows: fix pnpm ui:* spawn EINVAL failures by restoring shell-backed launch for .cmd/.bat runners, narrowing shell usage to launcher types that require it, and rejecting unsafe forwarded shell metacharacters in UI script args. (#18594)

Cron: route text-only announce output through the main session announce flow via runSubagentAnnounceFlow so cron text-only output remains visible to the initiating session. Thanks @tyler6204.
Cron: treat timeoutSeconds: 0 as no-timeout (not clamped to 1), ensuring long-running cron runs are not prematurely terminated. Thanks @tyler6204.
Cron announce injection now targets the session determined by delivery config (to + channel) instead of defaulting to the current session. Thanks @tyler6204.

iOS/Signing: auto-select local Apple Development team during iOS project generation/build, prefer the canonical OpenClaw team when available, and support local per-machine signing overrides without committing team IDs. (#18421) Thanks @ngutman.
Discord/Telegram: make per-account message action gates effective for both action listing and execution, and preserve top-level gate restrictions when account overrides only specify a subset of actions keys (account key -> base key -> default fallback). (#18494)
Telegram: keep DM-topic replies and draft previews in the originating private-chat topic by preserving positive message_thread_id values for DM threads. (#18586) Thanks @sebslight.
Telegram: preserve private-chat topic message_thread_id on outbound sends (message/sticker/poll), keep thread-not-found retry fallback, and avoid masking chat not found routing errors. (#18993) Thanks @obviyus.
Discord: prevent duplicate media delivery when the model uses the message send tool with media, by skipping media extraction from messaging tool results since the tool already sent the message directly. (#18270)
Discord: route audioAsVoice auto-replies through the voice message API so opt-in audio renders as voice messages. (#18041) Thanks @zerone0x.
Discord: skip auto-thread creation in forum/media/voice/stage channels and keep group session last-route metadata fresh to avoid invalid thread API errors and lost follow-up sends. (#18098) Thanks @Clawborn.
Discord/Commands: normalize commands.allowFrom entries with user:/discord:/pk: prefixes and <@id> mentions so command authorization matches Discord allowlist behavior. (#18042)

Telegram: clear stored polling offsets when bot tokens change or accounts are deleted, preventing stale offsets after token rotations. (#18233)
Telegram: enable autoSelectFamily by default on Node.js 22+ so IPv4 fallback works on broken IPv6 networks. (#18272) Thanks @nacho9900.
Auto-reply/TTS: keep tool-result media delivery enabled in group chats and native command sessions (while still suppressing tool summary text) so NO_REPLY follow-ups do not drop successful TTS audio. (#17991) Thanks @zerone0x.
Agents/Tools: deliver tool-result media even when verbose tool output is off so media attachments are not dropped. (#16679)
Discord: optimize reaction notification handling to skip unnecessary message fetches in off/all/allowlist modes, streamline reaction routing, and improve reaction emoji formatting. (#18248) Thanks @thewilloftheshadow and @victorGPT.
CLI/Pairing: make openclaw qr --remote prefer gateway.remote.url over tailscale/public URL resolution and register the openclaw clawbot qr legacy alias path. (#18091)

CLI: fix parent/subcommand option collisions across gateway, daemon, update, ACP, and browser command flows, while preserving legacy browser set headers --json <payload> compatibility.
CLI/Doctor: ensure openclaw doctor --fix --non-interactive --yes exits promptly after completion so one-shot automation no longer hangs. (#18502)
CLI/Doctor: auto-repair dmPolicy="open" configs missing wildcard allowlists and write channel-correct repair paths (including channels.googlechat.dm.allowFrom) so openclaw doctor --fix no longer leaves Google Chat configs invalid after attempted repair. (#18544)
CLI/Doctor: detect gateway service token drift when the gateway token is only provided via environment variables, keeping service repairs aligned after token rotation.
Gateway/Update: prevent restart crash loops after failed self-updates by restarting only on successful updates, stopping early on failed install/build steps, and running openclaw doctor --fix during updates to sanitize config. (#18131) Thanks @RamiNoodle733.
Gateway/Update: preserve update.run restart delivery context so post-update status replies route back to the initiating channel/thread. (#18267) Thanks @yinghaosang.
CLI/Update: run a standalone restart helper after updates, honoring service-name overrides and reporting restart initiation separately from confirmed restarts. (#18050)
CLI/Daemon: warn when a gateway restart sees a stale service token so users can reinstall with openclaw gateway install --force, and skip drift warnings for non-gateway service restarts. (#18018)
CLI/Daemon: prefer the active version-manager Node when installing daemons and include macOS version-manager bin directories in the service PATH so launchd services resolve user-managed runtimes.
CLI/Status: fix openclaw status --all token summaries for bot-token-only channels so Mattermost/Zalo no longer show a bot+app warning. (#18527) Thanks @echo931.
CLI/Configure: make the /model picker allowlist prompt searchable with tokenized matching in openclaw configure so users can filter huge model lists by typing terms like gpt-5.2 openai/. (#19010) Thanks @bjesuiter.
CLI/Message: preserve --components JSON payloads in openclaw message send so Discord component payloads are no longer dropped. (#18222) Thanks @saurabhchopade.
Voice Call: add an optional stale call reaper (staleCallReaperSeconds) to end stuck calls when enabled. (#18437)
Auto-reply/Subagents: propagate group context (groupId, groupChannel, space) when spawning via /subagents spawn, matching tool-triggered subagent spawn behavior.
Subagents: route nested announce results back to the parent session after the parent run ends, falling back only when the parent session is deleted. (#18043) Thanks @tyler6204.

Agents/Tools/exec: treat normal non-zero exit codes as completed and append the exit code to tool output to avoid false tool-failure warnings. (#18425)
Agents/Tools: make loop detection progress-aware and phased by hard-blocking known process(action=poll|log) no-progress loops, warning on generic identical-call repeats, warning + no-progress-blocking ping-pong alternation loops (10/20), coalescing repeated warning spam into threshold buckets (including canonical ping-pong pairs), adding a global circuit breaker at 30 no-progress repeats, and emitting structured diagnostic tool.loop warning/error events for loop actions. (#16808) Thanks @akramcodez and @beca-oc.
Agents/Hooks: preserve the before_tool_call wrapped-marker across abort-signal tool wrapping so the hook runs once per tool call in normal agent sessions. (#16852) Thanks @sreuter.
Agents/Tests: add before_message_write persistence regression coverage for block/mutate behavior (including synthetic tool-result flushes) and thrown-hook fallback persistence. (#18197) Thanks @shakkernerd
Agents/Tools: scope the message tool schema to the active channel so Telegram uses buttons and Discord uses components. (#18215) Thanks @obviyus.
Agents/Image tool: replace Anthropic-incompatible union schema with explicit image (single) and images (multi) parameters, keeping tool schemas anyOf/oneOf/allOf-free while preserving multi-image analysis support. (#18551, #18566) Thanks @aldoeliacim.
Agents/Models: probe the primary model when its auth-profile cooldown is near expiry (with per-provider throttling), so runs recover from temporary rate limits without staying on fallback models until restart. (#17478) Thanks @PlayerGhost.
Agents/Failover: classify provider abort stop-reason errors (Unhandled stop reason: abort, stop reason: abort, reason: abort) as timeout-class failures so configured model fallback chains trigger instead of surfacing raw abort failures. (#18618) Thanks @sauerdaniel.
Models/CLI: sync auth-profiles credentials into agent auth.json before registry availability checks so openclaw models list --all reports auth correctly for API-key/token providers, normalize provider-id aliases when bridging credentials, and skip expired token mirrors. (#18610, #18615)
Agents/Context: raise default total bootstrap prompt cap from 24000 to 150000 chars (keeping bootstrapMaxChars at 20000), include total-cap visibility in /context, and mark truncation from injected-vs-raw sizes so total-cap clipping is reflected accurately.
Memory/QMD: scope managed collection names per agent and precreate glob-backed collection directories before registration, preventing cross-agent collection clobbering and startup ENOENT failures in fresh workspaces. (#17194) Thanks @jonathanadams96.
Cron: preserve per-job schedule-error isolation in post-run maintenance recompute so malformed sibling jobs no longer abort persistence of successful runs. (#17852) Thanks @pierreeurope.
Gateway/Config: prevent config.patch object-array merges from falling back to full-array replacement when some patch entries lack id, so partial agents.list updates no longer drop unrelated agents. (#17989) Thanks @stakeswky.
Gateway/Auth: trim whitespace around trusted proxy entries before matching so configured proxies with stray spaces still authorize. (#18084) Thanks @Clawborn.
Config/Discord: require string IDs in Discord allowlists, keep onboarding inputs string-only, and add doctor repair for numeric entries. (#18220) Thanks @thewilloftheshadow.
Security/Sessions: create new session transcript JSONL files with user-only (0o600) permissions and extend openclaw security audit --fix to remediate existing transcript file permissions.
Sessions/Maintenance: archive transcripts when pruning stale sessions, clean expired media in subdirectories, and purge .deleted transcript archives after the prune window to prevent disk leaks. (#18538)
Infra/Fetch: ensure foreign abort-signal listener cleanup never masks original fetch successes/failures, while still preventing detached-finally unhandled rejection noise in wrapFetchWithAbortSignal. Thanks @Jackten.
Heartbeat: allow suppressing tool error warning payloads during heartbeat runs via a new heartbeat config flag. (#18497) Thanks @thewilloftheshadow.
Heartbeat: include sender metadata (From/To/Provider) in heartbeat prompts so model context matches the delivery target. (#18532) Thanks @dinakars777.
Heartbeat/Telegram: strip configured responsePrefix before heartbeat ack detection (with boundary-safe matching) so prefixed HEARTBEAT_OK replies are correctly suppressed instead of leaking into DMs. (#18602)

Changes

• Discord: components v2 UI + embeds passthrough + exec approval UX refinements (CV2 containers, button layout, Discord-forwarding skip). Thanks @thewilloftheshadow.
• Plugins: expose llm_input and llm_output hook payloads so extensions can observe prompt/input context and model output usage details. (#16724) Thanks @SecondThread.
• Subagents: nested sub-agents (sub-sub-agents) with configurable depth. Set agents.defaults.subagents.maxSpawnDepth: 2 to allow sub-agents to spawn their own children. Includes maxChildrenPerAgent limit (default 5), depth-aware tool policy, and proper announce chain routing. (#14447) Thanks @tyler6204.
• Slack/Discord/Telegram: add per-channel ack reaction overrides (account/channel-level) to support platform-specific emoji formats. (#17092) Thanks @zerone0x.
• Cron/Gateway: add finished-run webhook delivery toggle (notify) and dedicated webhook auth token support (cron.webhookToken) for outbound cron webhook posts. (#14535) Thanks @advaitpaliwal.

Fixes

• Security: replace deprecated SHA-1 sandbox configuration hashing with SHA-256 for deterministic sandbox cache identity and recreation checks. Thanks @kexinoh.
• Security/Logging: redact Telegram bot tokens from error messages and uncaught stack traces to prevent accidental secret leakage into logs. Thanks @aether-ai-agent.
• Sandbox/Security: block dangerous sandbox Docker config (bind mounts, host networking, unconfined seccomp/apparmor) to prevent container escape via config injection. Thanks @aether-ai-agent.
• Sandbox: preserve array order in config hashing so order-sensitive Docker/browser settings trigger container recreation correctly. Thanks @kexinoh.
• Gateway/Security: redact sensitive session/path details from status responses for non-admin clients; full details remain available to operator.admin. (#8590) Thanks @fr33d3m0n.
• Gateway/Control UI: preserve requested operator scopes for Control UI bypass modes (allowInsecureAuth / dangerouslyDisableDeviceAuth) when device identity is unavailable, preventing false missing scope failures on authenticated LAN/HTTP operator sessions. (#17682) Thanks @leafbird.
• LINE/Security: fail closed on webhook startup when channel token or channel secret is missing, and treat LINE accounts as configured only when both are present. (#17587) Thanks @davidahmann.
• Skills/Security: restrict download installer targetDir to the per-skill tools directory to prevent arbitrary file writes. Thanks @Adam55A-code.
• Skills/Linux: harden go installer fallback on apt-based systems by handling root/no-sudo environments safely, doing best-effort apt index refresh, and returning actionable errors instead of failing with spawn errors. (#17687) Thanks @mcrolly.
• Web Fetch/Security: cap downloaded response body size before HTML parsing to prevent memory exhaustion from oversized or deeply nested pages. Thanks @xuemian168.
• Config/Gateway: make sensitive-key whitelist suffix matching case-insensitive while preserving passwordFile path exemptions, preventing accidental redaction of non-secret config values like maxTokens and IRC password-file paths. (#16042) Thanks @akramcodez.
• Dev tooling: harden git pre-commit hook against option injection from malicious filenames (for example --force), preventing accidental staging of ignored files. Thanks @mrthankyou.
• Gateway/Agent: reject malformed agent:-prefixed session keys (for example, agent:main) in agent and agent.identity.get instead of silently resolving them to the default agent, preventing accidental cross-session routing. (#15707) Thanks @rodrigouroz.
• Gateway/Chat: harden chat.send inbound message handling by rejecting null bytes, stripping unsafe control characters, and normalizing Unicode to NFC before dispatch. (#8593) Thanks @fr33d3m0n.
• Gateway/Send: return an actionable error when send targets internal-only webchat, guiding callers to use chat.send or a deliverable channel. (#15703) Thanks @rodrigouroz.
• Control UI: prevent stored XSS via assistant name/avatar by removing inline script injection, serving bootstrap config as JSON, and enforcing script-src 'self'. Thanks @Adam55A-code.
• Agents/Security: sanitize workspace paths before embedding into LLM prompts (strip Unicode control/format chars) to prevent instruction injection via malicious directory names. Thanks @aether-ai-agent.
• Agents/Sandbox: clarify system prompt path guidance so sandbox bash/exec uses container paths (for example /workspace) while file tools keep host-bridge mapping, avoiding first-attempt path misses from host-only absolute paths in sandbox command execution. (#17693) Thanks @app/juniordevbot.
• Agents/Context: apply configured model contextWindow overrides after provider discovery so lookupContextTokens() honors operator config values (including discovery-failure paths). (#17404) Thanks @michaelbship and @vignesh07.
• Agents/Context: derive lookupContextTokens() from auth-available model metadata and keep the smallest discovered context window for duplicate model ids, preventing cross-provider cache collisions from overestimating session context limits. (#17586) Thanks @githabideri and @vignesh07.
• Agents/OpenAI: force store=true for direct OpenAI Responses/Codex runs to preserve multi-turn server-side conversation state, while leaving proxy/non-OpenAI endpoints unchanged. (#16803) Thanks @mark9232 and @vignesh07.
• Memory/FTS: make buildFtsQuery Unicode-aware so non-ASCII queries (including CJK) produce keyword tokens instead of falling back to vector-only search. (#17672) Thanks @KinGP5471.
• Auto-reply/Compaction: resolve memory/YYYY-MM-DD.md placeholders with timezone-aware runtime dates and append a Current time: line to memory-flush turns, preventing wrong-year memory filenames without making the system prompt time-variant. (#17603, #17633) Thanks @nicholaspapadam-wq and @vignesh07.
• Agents: return an explicit timeout error reply when an embedded run times out before producing any payloads, preventing silent dropped turns during slow cache-refresh transitions. (#16659) Thanks @liaosvcaf and @vignesh07.
• Group chats: always inject group chat context (name, participants, reply guidance) into the system prompt on every turn, not just the first. Prevents the model from losing awareness of which group it's in and incorrectly using the message tool to send to the same group. (#14447) Thanks @tyler6204.
• Browser/Agents: when browser control service is unavailable, return explicit non-retry guidance (instead of "try again") so models do not loop on repeated browser tool calls until timeout. (#17673) Thanks @austenstone.
• Subagents: use child-run-based deterministic announce idempotency keys across direct and queued delivery paths (with legacy queued-item fallback) to prevent duplicate announce retries without collapsing distinct same-millisecond announces. (#17150) Thanks @widingmarcus-cyber.
• Subagents/Models: preserve agents.defaults.model.fallbacks when subagent sessions carry a model override, so subagent runs fail over to configured fallback models instead of retrying only the overridden primary model.
• Telegram: omit message_thread_id for DM sends/draft previews and keep forum-topic handling (id=1 general omitted, non-general kept), preventing DM failures with 400 Bad Request: message thread not found. (#10942) Thanks @garnetlyx.
• Telegram: replace inbound <media:audio> placeholder with successful preflight voice transcript in message body context, preventing placeholder-only prompt bodies for mention-gated voice messages. (#16789) Thanks @Limitless2023.
• Telegram: retry inbound media getFile calls (3 attempts with backoff) and gracefully fall back to placeholder-only processing when retries fail, preventing dropped voice/media messages on transient Telegram network errors. (#16154) Thanks @yinghaosang.
• Telegram: finalize streaming preview replies in place instead of sending a second final message, preventing duplicate Telegram assistant outputs at stream completion. (#17218) Thanks @obviyus.
• Telegram: disable block streaming when channels.telegram.streamMode is off, preventing newline/content-block replies from splitting into multiple messages. (#17679) Thanks @saivarunk.
• Discord: preserve channel session continuity when runtime payloads omit message.channelId by falling back to event/raw channel_id values for routing/session keys, so same-channel messages keep history across turns/restarts. Also align diagnostics so active Discord runs no longer appear as sessionKey=unknown. (#17622) Thanks @shakkernerd.
• Discord: dedupe native skill commands by skill name in multi-agent setups to prevent duplicated slash commands with _2 suffixes. (#17365) Thanks @seewhyme.
• Discord: ensure role allowlist matching uses raw role IDs for message routing authorization. Thanks @xinhuagu.
• Web UI/Agents: hide BOOTSTRAP.md in the Agents Files list after onboarding is completed, avoiding confusing missing-file warnings for completed workspaces. (#17491) Thanks @gumadeiras.
• Memory/QMD: scope managed collection names per agent and precreate glob-backed collection directories before registration, preventing cross-agent collection clobbering and startup ENOENT failures in fresh workspaces. (#17194) Thanks @jonathanadams96.
• Auto-reply/WhatsApp/TUI/Web: when a final assistant message is NO_REPLY and a messaging tool send succeeded, mirror the delivered messaging-tool text into session-visible assistant output so TUI/Web no longer show NO_REPLY placeholders. (#7010) Thanks @Morrowind-Xie.
• Cron: infer payload.kind="agentTurn" for model-only cron.update payload patches, so partial agent-turn updates do not fail validation when kind is omitted. (#15664) Thanks @rodrigouroz.
• TUI: make searchable-select filtering and highlight rendering ANSI-aware so queries ignore hidden escape codes and no longer corrupt ANSI styling sequences during match highlighting. (#4519) Thanks @bee4come.
• TUI/Windows: coalesce rapid single-line submit bursts in Git Bash into one multiline message as a fallback when bracketed paste is unavailable, preventing pasted multiline text from being split into multiple sends. (#4986) Thanks @adamkane.
• TUI: suppress false (no output) placeholders for non-local empty final events during concurrent runs, preventing external-channel replies from showing empty assistant bubbles while a local run is still streaming. (#5782) Thanks @LagWizard and @vignesh07.
• TUI: preserve copy-sensitive long tokens (URLs/paths/file-like identifiers) during wrapping and overflow sanitization so wrapped output no longer inserts spaces that corrupt copy/paste values. (#17515, #17466, #17505) Thanks @abe238, @trevorpan, and @JasonCry.
• CLI/Build: make legacy daemon CLI compatibility shim generation tolerant of minimal tsdown daemon export sets, while preserving restart/register compatibility aliases and surfacing explicit errors for unavailable legacy daemon commands. Thanks @vignesh07.

Changes

• Discord: unlock rich interactive agent prompts with Components v2 (buttons, selects, modals, and attachment-backed file blocks) so for native interaction through Discord. Thanks @thewilloftheshadow.
• Discord: components v2 UI + embeds passthrough + exec approval UX refinements (CV2 containers, button layout, Discord-forwarding skip). Thanks @thewilloftheshadow.
• Plugins: expose llm_input and llm_output hook payloads so extensions can observe prompt/input context and model output usage details. (#16724) Thanks @SecondThread.
• Subagents: nested sub-agents (sub-sub-agents) with configurable depth. Set agents.defaults.subagents.maxSpawnDepth: 2 to allow sub-agents to spawn their own children. Includes maxChildrenPerAgent limit (default 5), depth-aware tool policy, and proper announce chain routing. (#14447) Thanks @tyler6204.
• Slack/Discord/Telegram: add per-channel ack reaction overrides (account/channel-level) to support platform-specific emoji formats. (#17092) Thanks @zerone0x.
• Cron/Gateway: add finished-run webhook delivery toggle (notify) and dedicated webhook auth token support (cron.webhookToken) for outbound cron webhook posts. (#14535) Thanks @advaitpaliwal.

Fixes

• Security: replace deprecated SHA-1 sandbox configuration hashing with SHA-256 for deterministic sandbox cache identity and recreation checks. Thanks @kexinoh.
• Security/Logging: redact Telegram bot tokens from error messages and uncaught stack traces to prevent accidental secret leakage into logs. Thanks @aether-ai-agent.
• Sandbox/Security: block dangerous sandbox Docker config (bind mounts, host networking, unconfined seccomp/apparmor) to prevent container escape via config injection. Thanks @aether-ai-agent.
• Sandbox: preserve array order in config hashing so order-sensitive Docker/browser settings trigger container recreation correctly. Thanks @kexinoh.
• Gateway/Security: redact sensitive session/path details from status responses for non-admin clients; full details remain available to operator.admin. (#8590) Thanks @fr33d3m0n.
• Gateway/Control UI: preserve requested operator scopes for Control UI bypass modes (allowInsecureAuth / dangerouslyDisableDeviceAuth) when device identity is unavailable, preventing false missing scope failures on authenticated LAN/HTTP operator sessions. (#17682) Thanks @leafbird.
• LINE/Security: fail closed on webhook startup when channel token or channel secret is missing, and treat LINE accounts as configured only when both are present. (#17587) Thanks @davidahmann.
• Skills/Security: restrict download installer targetDir to the per-skill tools directory to prevent arbitrary file writes. Thanks @Adam55A-code.
• Skills/Linux: harden go installer fallback on apt-based systems by handling root/no-sudo environments safely, doing best-effort apt index refresh, and returning actionable errors instead of failing with spawn errors. (#17687) Thanks @mcrolly.
• Web Fetch/Security: cap downloaded response body size before HTML parsing to prevent memory exhaustion from oversized or deeply nested pages. Thanks @xuemian168.
• Config/Gateway: make sensitive-key whitelist suffix matching case-insensitive while preserving passwordFile path exemptions, preventing accidental redaction of non-secret config values like maxTokens and IRC password-file paths. (#16042) Thanks @akramcodez.
• Dev tooling: harden git pre-commit hook against option injection from malicious filenames (for example --force), preventing accidental staging of ignored files. Thanks @mrthankyou.
• Gateway/Agent: reject malformed agent:-prefixed session keys (for example, agent:main) in agent and agent.identity.get instead of silently resolving them to the default agent, preventing accidental cross-session routing. (#15707) Thanks @rodrigouroz.
• Gateway/Chat: harden chat.send inbound message handling by rejecting null bytes, stripping unsafe control characters, and normalizing Unicode to NFC before dispatch. (#8593) Thanks @fr33d3m0n.
• Gateway/Send: return an actionable error when send targets internal-only webchat, guiding callers to use chat.send or a deliverable channel. (#15703) Thanks @rodrigouroz.
• Control UI: prevent stored XSS via assistant name/avatar by removing inline script injection, serving bootstrap config as JSON, and enforcing script-src 'self'. Thanks @Adam55A-code.
• Agents/Security: sanitize workspace paths before embedding into LLM prompts (strip Unicode control/format chars) to prevent instruction injection via malicious directory names. Thanks @aether-ai-agent.
• Agents/Sandbox: clarify system prompt path guidance so sandbox bash/exec uses container paths (for example /workspace) while file tools keep host-bridge mapping, avoiding first-attempt path misses from host-only absolute paths in sandbox command execution. (#17693) Thanks @app/juniordevbot.
• Agents/Context: apply configured model contextWindow overrides after provider discovery so lookupContextTokens() honors operator config values (including discovery-failure paths). (#17404) Thanks @michaelbship and @vignesh07.
• Agents/Context: derive lookupContextTokens() from auth-available model metadata and keep the smallest discovered context window for duplicate model ids, preventing cross-provider cache collisions from overestimating session context limits. (#17586) Thanks @githabideri and @vignesh07.
• Agents/OpenAI: force store=true for direct OpenAI Responses/Codex runs to preserve multi-turn server-side conversation state, while leaving proxy/non-OpenAI endpoints unchanged. (#16803) Thanks @mark9232 and @vignesh07.
• Memory/FTS: make buildFtsQuery Unicode-aware so non-ASCII queries (including CJK) produce keyword tokens instead of falling back to vector-only search. (#17672) Thanks @KinGP5471.
• Auto-reply/Compaction: resolve memory/YYYY-MM-DD.md placeholders with timezone-aware runtime dates and append a Current time: line to memory-flush turns, preventing wrong-year memory filenames without making the system prompt time-variant. (#17603, #17633) Thanks @nicholaspapadam-wq and @vignesh07.
• Agents: return an explicit timeout error reply when an embedded run times out before producing any payloads, preventing silent dropped turns during slow cache-refresh transitions. (#16659) Thanks @liaosvcaf and @vignesh07.
• Group chats: always inject group chat context (name, participants, reply guidance) into the system prompt on every turn, not just the first. Prevents the model from losing awareness of which group it's in and incorrectly using the message tool to send to the same group. (#14447) Thanks @tyler6204.
• Browser/Agents: when browser control service is unavailable, return explicit non-retry guidance (instead of "try again") so models do not loop on repeated browser tool calls until timeout. (#17673) Thanks @austenstone.
• Subagents: use child-run-based deterministic announce idempotency keys across direct and queued delivery paths (with legacy queued-item fallback) to prevent duplicate announce retries without collapsing distinct same-millisecond announces. (#17150) Thanks @widingmarcus-cyber.
• Subagents/Models: preserve agents.defaults.model.fallbacks when subagent sessions carry a model override, so subagent runs fail over to configured fallback models instead of retrying only the overridden primary model.
• Telegram: omit message_thread_id for DM sends/draft previews and keep forum-topic handling (id=1 general omitted, non-general kept), preventing DM failures with 400 Bad Request: message thread not found. (#10942) Thanks @garnetlyx.
• Telegram: replace inbound <media:audio> placeholder with successful preflight voice transcript in message body context, preventing placeholder-only prompt bodies for mention-gated voice messages. (#16789) Thanks @Limitless2023.
• Telegram: retry inbound media getFile calls (3 attempts with backoff) and gracefully fall back to placeholder-only processing when retries fail, preventing dropped voice/media messages on transient Telegram network errors. (#16154) Thanks @yinghaosang.
• Telegram: finalize streaming preview replies in place instead of sending a second final message, preventing duplicate Telegram assistant outputs at stream completion. (#17218) Thanks @obviyus.
• Telegram: disable block streaming when channels.telegram.streamMode is off, preventing newline/content-block replies from splitting into multiple messages. (#17679) Thanks @saivarunk.
• Discord: preserve channel session continuity when runtime payloads omit message.channelId by falling back to event/raw channel_id values for routing/session keys, so same-channel messages keep history across turns/restarts.

Changes

• Telegram: add poll sending via openclaw message poll (duration seconds, silent delivery, anonymity controls). (#16209) Thanks @robbyczgw-cla.
• Slack/Discord: add dmPolicy + allowFrom config aliases for DM access control; legacy dm.policy + dm.allowFrom keys remain supported and openclaw doctor --fix can migrate them.
• Discord: allow exec approval prompts to target channels or both DM+channel via channels.discord.execApprovals.target. (#16051) Thanks @leonnardo.
• Sandbox: add sandbox.browser.binds to configure browser-container bind mounts separately from exec containers. (#16230) Thanks @seheepeak.
• Discord: add debug logging for message routing decisions to improve --debug tracing. (#16202) Thanks @jayleekr.

Fixes

• CLI/Plugins: ensure openclaw message send exits after successful delivery across plugin-backed channels so one-shot sends do not hang. (#16491) Thanks @yinghaosang.
• CLI/Plugins: run registered plugin gateway_stop hooks before openclaw message exits (success and failure paths), so plugin-backed channels can clean up one-shot CLI resources. (#16580) Thanks @gumadeiras.
• WhatsApp: honor per-account dmPolicy overrides (account-level settings now take precedence over channel defaults for inbound DMs). (#10082) Thanks @mcaxtr.
• Telegram: when channels.telegram.commands.native is false, exclude plugin commands from setMyCommands menu registration while keeping plugin slash handlers callable. (#15132) Thanks @Glucksberg.
• LINE: return 200 OK for Developers Console "Verify" requests ({"events":[]}) without X-Line-Signature, while still requiring signatures for real deliveries. (#16582) Thanks @arosstale.
• Cron: deliver text-only output directly when delivery.to is set so cron recipients get full output instead of summaries. (#16360) Thanks @thewilloftheshadow.
• Cron/Slack: preserve agent identity (name and icon) when cron jobs deliver outbound messages. (#16242) Thanks @robbyczgw-cla.
• Media: accept MEDIA:-prefixed paths (lenient whitespace) when loading outbound media to prevent ENOENT for tool-returned local media paths. (#13107) Thanks @mcaxtr.
• Agents: deliver tool result media (screenshots, images, audio) to channels regardless of verbose level. (#11735) Thanks @strelov1.
• Agents/Image tool: allow workspace-local image paths by including the active workspace directory in local media allowlists, and trust sandbox-validated paths in image loaders to prevent false "not under an allowed directory" rejections. (#15541)
• Agents/Image tool: propagate the effective workspace root into tool wiring so workspace-local image paths are accepted by default when running without an explicit workspaceDir. (#16722)
• BlueBubbles: include sender identity in group chat envelopes and pass clean message text to the agent prompt, aligning with iMessage/Signal formatting. (#16210) Thanks @zerone0x.
• CLI: fix lazy core command registration so top-level maintenance commands (doctor, dashboard, reset, uninstall) resolve correctly instead of exposing a non-functional maintenance placeholder command.
• CLI/Dashboard: when gateway.bind=lan, generate localhost dashboard URLs to satisfy browser secure-context requirements while preserving non-LAN bind behavior. (#16434) Thanks @BinHPdev.
• TUI/Gateway: resolve local gateway target URL from gateway.bind mode (tailnet/lan) instead of hardcoded localhost so openclaw tui connects when gateway is non-loopback. (#16299) Thanks @cortexuvula.
• TUI: honor explicit --session <key> in openclaw tui even when session.scope is global, so named sessions no longer collapse into shared global history. (#16575) Thanks @cinqu.
• TUI: use available terminal width for session name display in searchable select lists. (#16238) Thanks @robbyczgw-cla.
• TUI: refactor searchable select list description layout and add regression coverage for ANSI-highlight width bounds.
• TUI: preserve in-flight streaming replies when a different run finalizes concurrently (avoid clearing active run or reloading history mid-stream). (#10704) Thanks @axschr73.
• TUI: keep pre-tool streamed text visible when later tool-boundary deltas temporarily omit earlier text blocks. (#6958) Thanks @KrisKind75.
• TUI: sanitize ANSI/control-heavy history text, redact binary-like lines, and split pathological long unbroken tokens before rendering to prevent startup crashes on binary attachment history. (#13007) Thanks @wilkinspoe.
• TUI: harden render-time sanitizer for narrow terminals by chunking moderately long unbroken tokens and adding fast-path sanitization guards to reduce overhead on normal text. (#5355) Thanks @tingxueren.
• TUI: render assistant body text in terminal default foreground (instead of fixed light ANSI color) so contrast remains readable on light themes such as Solarized Light. (#16750) Thanks @paymog.
• TUI/Hooks: pass explicit reset reason (new vs reset) through sessions.reset and emit internal command hooks for gateway-triggered resets so /new hook workflows fire in TUI/webchat.
• Cron: prevent cron list/cron status from silently skipping past-due recurring jobs by using maintenance recompute semantics. (#16156) Thanks @zerone0x.
• Cron: repair missing/corrupt nextRunAtMs for the updated job without globally recomputing unrelated due jobs during cron update. (#15750)
• Cron: skip missed-job replay on startup for jobs interrupted mid-run (stale runningAtMs markers), preventing restart loops for self-restarting jobs such as update tasks. (#16694) Thanks @sbmilburn.
• Discord: prefer gateway guild id when logging inbound messages so cached-miss guilds do not appear as guild=dm. Thanks @thewilloftheshadow.
• Discord: treat empty per-guild channels: {} config maps as no channel allowlist (not deny-all), so groupPolicy: "open" guilds without explicit channel entries continue to receive messages. (#16714) Thanks @xqliu.
• Models/CLI: guard models status string trimming paths to prevent crashes from malformed non-string config values. (#16395) Thanks @BinHPdev.
• Gateway/Subagents: preserve queued announce items and summary state on delivery errors, retry failed announce drains, and avoid dropping unsent announcements on timeout/failure. (#16729) Thanks @Clawdette-Workspace.
• Gateway/Sessions: abort active embedded runs and clear queued session work before sessions.reset, returning unavailable if the run does not stop in time. (#16576) Thanks @Grynn.
• Sessions/Agents: harden transcript path resolution for mismatched agent context by preserving explicit store roots and adding safe absolute-path fallback to the correct agent sessions directory. (#16288) Thanks @robbyczgw-cla.
• Agents: add a safety timeout around embedded session.compact() to ensure stalled compaction runs settle and release blocked session lanes. (#16331) Thanks @BinHPdev.
• Agents: keep unresolved mutating tool failures visible until the same action retry succeeds, scope mutation-error surfacing to mutating calls (including session_status model changes), and dedupe duplicate failure warnings in outbound replies. (#16131) Thanks @Swader.
• Agents/Process/Bootstrap: preserve unbounded process log offset-only pagination (default tail applies only when both offset and limit are omitted) and enforce strict bootstrapTotalMaxChars budgeting across injected bootstrap content (including markers), skipping additional injection when remaining budget is too small. (#16539) Thanks @CharlieGreenman.
• Agents/Workspace: persist bootstrap onboarding state so partially initialized workspaces recover missing BOOTSTRAP.md once, while completed onboarding keeps BOOTSTRAP deleted even if runtime files are later recreated. Thanks @gumadeiras.
• Agents/Workspace: create BOOTSTRAP.md when core workspace files are seeded in partially initialized workspaces, while keeping BOOTSTRAP one-shot after onboarding deletion. (#16457) Thanks @robbyczgw-cla.
• Agents: classify external timeout aborts during compaction the same as internal timeouts, preventing unnecessary auth-profile rotation and preserving compaction-timeout snapshot fallback behavior. (#9855) Thanks @mverrilli.
• Agents: treat empty-stream provider failures (request ended without sending any chunks) as timeout-class failover signals, enabling auth-profile rotation/fallback and showing a friendly timeout message instead of raw provider errors. (#10210) Thanks @zenchantlive.
• Agents: treat read tool file_path arguments as valid in tool-start diagnostics to avoid false “read tool called without path” warnings when alias parameters are used. (#16717) Thanks @Stache73.
• Ollama/Agents: avoid forcing tag enforcement for Ollama models, which could suppress all output as (no output). (#16191) Thanks @Glucksberg.
• Plugins: suppress false duplicate plugin id warnings when the same extension is discovered via multiple paths (config/workspace/global vs bundled), while still warning on genuine duplicates. (#16222) Thanks @shadril238.
• Skills: watch SKILL.md only when refreshing skills snapshot to avoid file-descriptor exhaustion in large data trees. (#11325) Thanks @household-bard.
• Memory/QMD: make memory status read-only by skipping QMD boot update/embed side effects for status-only manager checks.
• Memory/QMD: keep original QMD failures when builtin fallback initialization fails (for example missing embedding API keys), instead of replacing them with fallback init errors.
• Memory/Builtin: keep memory status dirty reporting stable across invocations by deriving status-only manager dirty state from persisted index metadata instead of process-start defaults. (#10863) Thanks @BarryYangi.
• Memory/QMD: cap QMD command output buffering to prevent memory exhaustion from pathological qmd command output.
• Memory/QMD: parse qmd scope keys once per request to avoid repeated parsing in scope checks.
• Memory/QMD: query QMD index using exact docid matches before falling back to prefix lookup for better recall correctness and index efficiency.
• Memory/QMD: pass result limits to search/vsearch commands so QMD can cap results earlier.
• Memory/QMD: avoid reading full markdown files when a from/lines window is requested in QMD reads.
• Memory/QMD: skip rewriting unchanged session export Markdown files during sync to reduce disk churn.
• Memory/QMD: make QMD result JSON parsing resilient to noisy command output by extracting the first JSON array from noisy stdout.
• Memory/QMD: treat prefixed no results found marker output as an empty result set in qmd JSON parsing. (#11302) Thanks @blazerui.
• Memory/QMD: avoid multi-collection query ranking corruption by running one qmd query -c per managed collection and merging by best score (also used for search/vsearch fallback-to-query). (#16740) Thanks @volarian-vai.
• Memory/QMD: detect null-byte ENOTDIR update failures, rebuild managed collections once, and retry update to self-heal corrupted collection metadata. (#12919) Thanks @jorgejhms.
• Memory/QMD/Security: add rawKeyPrefix support for QMD scope rules and preserve legacy keyPrefix: "agent:..." matching, preventing scoped deny bypass when operators match agent-prefixed session keys.
• Memory/Builtin: narrow memory watcher targets to markdown globs and ignore dependency/venv directories to reduce file-descriptor pressure during memory sync startup. (#11721) Thanks @rex05ai.
• Security/Memory-LanceDB: treat recalled memories as untrusted context (escape injected memory text + explicit non-instruction framing), skip likely prompt-injection payloads during auto-capture, and restrict auto-capture to user messages to reduce memory-poisoning risk. (#12524) Thanks @davidschmid24.
• Security/Memory-LanceDB: require explicit autoCapture: true opt-in (default is now disabled) to prevent automatic PII capture unless operators intentionally enable it. (#12552) Thanks @fr33d3m0n.
• Diagnostics/Memory: prune stale diagnostic session state entries and cap tracked session states to prevent unbounded in-memory growth on long-running gateways. (#5136) Thanks @coygeek and @vignesh07.
• Gateway/Memory: clean up agentRunSeq tracking on run completion/abort and enforce maintenance-time cap pruning to prevent unbounded sequence-map growth over long uptimes. (#6036) Thanks @coygeek and @vignesh07.
• Auto-reply/Memory: bound ABORT_MEMORY growth by evicting oldest entries and deleting reset (false) flags so abort state tracking cannot grow unbounded over long uptimes. (#6629) Thanks @coygeek and @vignesh07.
• Slack/Memory: bound thread-starter cache growth with TTL + max-size pruning to prevent long-running Slack gateways from accumulating unbounded thread cache state. (#5258) Thanks @coygeek and @vignesh07.
• Outbound/Memory: bound directory cache growth with max-size eviction and proactive TTL pruning to prevent long-running gateways from accumulating unbounded directory entries. (#5140) Thanks @coygeek and @vignesh07.
• Skills/Memory: remove disconnected nodes from remote-skills cache to prevent stale node metadata from accumulating over long uptimes. (#6760) Thanks @coygeek.
• Sandbox/Tools: make sandbox file tools bind-mount aware (including absolute container paths) and enforce read-only bind semantics for writes. (#16379) Thanks @tasaankaeris.
• Media/Security: allow local media reads from OpenClaw state workspace/ and sandboxes/ roots by default so generated workspace media can be delivered without unsafe global path bypasses. (#15541) Thanks @lanceji.
• Media/Security: harden local media allowlist bypasses by requiring an explicit readFile override when callers mark paths as validated, and reject filesystem-root localRoots entries. (#16739)
• Discord/Security: harden voice message media loading (SSRF + allowed-local-root checks) so tool-supplied paths/URLs cannot be used to probe internal URLs or read arbitrary local files.
• Security/BlueBubbles: require explicit mediaLocalRoots allowlists for local outbound media path reads to prevent local file disclosure. (#16322) Thanks @mbelinky.
• Security/BlueBubbles: reject ambiguous shared-path webhook routing when multiple webhook targets match the same guid/password.
• Security/BlueBubbles: harden BlueBubbles webhook auth behind reverse proxies by only accepting passwordless webhooks for direct localhost loopback requests (forwarded/proxied requests now require a password). Thanks @simecek.

• Security/iMessage: keep DM pairing-store identities out of group allowlist authorization (prevents cross-context command authorization). Thanks @vincentkoc.
• Security/Google Chat: deprecate users/ allowlists (treat users/... as immutable user id only); keep raw email allowlists for usability. Thanks @vincentkoc.
• Security/Google Chat: reject ambiguous shared-path webhook routing when multiple webhook targets verify successfully (prevents cross-account policy-context misrouting). Thanks @vincentkoc.
• Telegram/Security: require numeric Telegram sender IDs for allowlist authorization (reject @username principals), auto-resolve @username to IDs in openclaw doctor --fix (when possible), and warn in openclaw security audit when legacy configs contain usernames. Thanks @vincentkoc.
• Telegram/Security: reject Telegram webhook startup when webhookSecret is missing or empty (prevents unauthenticated webhook request forgery). Thanks @yueyueL.
• Security/Windows: avoid shell invocation when spawning child processes to prevent cmd.exe metacharacter injection via untrusted CLI arguments (e.g. agent prompt text).
• Telegram: set webhook callback timeout handling to onTimeout: "return" (10s) so long-running update processing no longer emits webhook 500s and retry storms. (#16763) Thanks @chansearrington.

• Security/Exec: harden PATH handling by disabling project-local node_modules/.bin bootstrapping by default, disallowing node-host PATH overrides, and spawning ACP servers via the current executable by default. Thanks @akhmittra.
• Security/Tlon: harden Urbit URL fetching against SSRF by blocking private/internal hosts by default (opt-in: channels.tlon.allowPrivateNetwork). Thanks @p80n-sec.
• Security/Voice Call (Telnyx): require webhook signature verification when receiving inbound events; configs without telnyx.publicKey are now rejected unless skipSignatureVerification is enabled. Thanks @p80n-sec.
• Security/Voice Call: require valid Twilio webhook signatures even when ngrok free tier loopback compatibility mode is enabled. Thanks @p80n-sec.
• Security/Discovery: stop treating Bonjour TXT records as authoritative routing (prefer resolved service endpoints) and prevent discovery from overriding stored TLS pins; autoconnect now requires a previously trusted gateway. Thanks @simecek.

Changes

• Discord: send voice messages with waveform previews from local audio files (including silent delivery). (#7253) Thanks @nyanjou.
• Discord: add configurable presence status/activity/type/url (custom status defaults to activity text). (#10855) Thanks @h0tp-ftw.
• Slack/Plugins: add thread-ownership outbound gating via message_sending hooks, including @-mention bypass tracking and Slack outbound hook wiring for cancel/modify behavior. (#15775) Thanks @DarlingtonDeveloper.
• Agents: add synthetic catalog support for hf:zai-org/GLM-5. (#15867) Thanks @battman21.
• Skills: remove duplicate local-places Google Places skill/proxy and keep goplaces as the single supported Google Places path.
• Agents: add pre-prompt context diagnostics (messages, systemPromptChars, promptChars, provider/model, session file) before embedded runner prompt calls to improve overflow debugging. (#8930) Thanks @Glucksberg.
• Onboarding/Providers: add first-class Hugging Face Inference provider support (provider wiring, onboarding auth choice/API key flow, and default-model selection), and preserve Hugging Face auth intent in auth-choice remapping (tokenProvider=huggingface with authChoice=apiKey) while skipping env-override prompts when an explicit token is provided. (#13472) Thanks @Josephrp.

Fixes

• Outbound: add a write-ahead delivery queue with crash-recovery retries to prevent lost outbound messages after gateway restarts. (#15636) Thanks @nabbilkhan, @thewilloftheshadow.
• Auto-reply/Threading: auto-inject implicit reply threading so replyToMode works without requiring model-emitted [[reply_to_current]], while preserving replyToMode: "off" behavior for implicit Slack replies and keeping block-streaming chunk coalescing stable under replyToMode: "first". (#14976) Thanks @Diaspar4u.
• Outbound/Threading: pass replyTo and threadId from message send tool actions through the core outbound send path to channel adapters, preserving thread/reply routing. (#14948) Thanks @mcaxtr.
• Auto-reply/Media: allow image-only inbound messages (no caption) to reach the agent instead of short-circuiting as empty text, and preserve thread context in queued/followup prompt bodies for media-only runs. (#11916) Thanks @arosstale.
• Discord: route autoThread replies to existing threads instead of the root channel. (#8302) Thanks @gavinbmoore, @thewilloftheshadow.
• Web UI: add img to DOMPurify allowed tags and src/alt to allowed attributes so markdown images render in webchat instead of being stripped. (#15437) Thanks @lailoo.
• Telegram/Matrix: treat MP3 and M4A (including audio/mp4) as voice-compatible for asVoice routing, and keep WAV/AAC falling back to regular audio sends. (#15438) Thanks @azade-c.
• WhatsApp: preserve outbound document filenames for web-session document sends instead of always sending "file". (#15594) Thanks @TsekaLuk.
• Telegram: cap bot menu registration to Telegram's 100-command limit with an overflow warning while keeping typed hidden commands available. (#15844) Thanks @battman21.
• Telegram: scope skill commands to the resolved agent for default accounts so setMyCommands no longer triggers BOT_COMMANDS_TOO_MUCH when multiple agents are configured. (#15599)
• Discord: avoid misrouting numeric guild allowlist entries to /channels/ by prefixing guild-only inputs with guild: during resolution. (#12326) Thanks @headswim.
• MS Teams: preserve parsed mention entities/text when appending OneDrive fallback file links, and accept broader real-world Teams mention ID formats (29:..., 8:orgid:...) while still rejecting placeholder patterns. (#15436) Thanks @hyojin.
• Media: classify text/* MIME types as documents in media-kind routing so text attachments are no longer treated as unknown. (#12237) Thanks @arosstale.
• Inbound/Web UI: preserve literal \n sequences when normalizing inbound text so Windows paths like C:\Work\nxxx\README.md are not corrupted. (#11547) Thanks @mcaxtr.
• TUI/Streaming: preserve richer streamed assistant text when final payload drops pre-tool-call text blocks, while keeping non-empty final payload authoritative for plain-text updates. (#15452) Thanks @TsekaLuk.
• Providers/MiniMax: switch implicit MiniMax API-key provider from openai-completions to anthropic-messages with the correct Anthropic-compatible base URL, fixing invalid role: developer (2013) errors on MiniMax M2.5. (#15275) Thanks @lailoo.
• Ollama/Agents: use resolved model/provider base URLs for native /api/chat streaming (including aliased providers), normalize /v1 endpoints, and forward abort + maxTokens stream options for reliable cancellation and token caps. (#11853) Thanks @BrokenFinger98.
• OpenAI Codex/Spark: implement end-to-end gpt-5.3-codex-spark support across fallback/thinking/model resolution and models list forward-compat visibility. (#14990, #15174) Thanks @L-U-C-K-Y, @loiie45e.
• Agents/Codex: allow gpt-5.3-codex-spark in forward-compat fallback, live model filtering, and thinking presets, and fix model-picker recognition for spark. (#14990) Thanks @L-U-C-K-Y.
• Models/Codex: resolve configured openai-codex/gpt-5.3-codex-spark through forward-compat fallback during models list, so it is not incorrectly tagged as missing when runtime resolution succeeds. (#15174) Thanks @loiie45e.
• OpenAI Codex/Auth: bridge OpenClaw OAuth profiles into pi auth.json so model discovery and models-list registry resolution can use Codex OAuth credentials. (#15184) Thanks @loiie45e.
• Auth/OpenAI Codex: share OAuth login handling across onboarding and models auth login --provider openai-codex, keep onboarding alive when OAuth fails, and surface a direct OAuth help note instead of terminating the wizard. (#15406, follow-up to #14552) Thanks @zhiluo20.
• Onboarding/Providers: add vLLM as an onboarding provider with model discovery, auth profile wiring, and non-interactive auth-choice validation. (#12577) Thanks @gejifeng.
• Onboarding/CLI: restore terminal state without resuming paused stdin, so onboarding exits cleanly after choosing Web UI and the installer returns instead of appearing stuck.
• Signal/Install: auto-install signal-cli via Homebrew on non-x64 Linux architectures, avoiding x86_64 native binary Exec format error failures on arm64/arm hosts. (#15443) Thanks @jogvan-k.
• macOS Voice Wake: fix a crash in trigger trimming for CJK/Unicode transcripts by matching and slicing on original-string ranges instead of transformed-string indices. (#11052) Thanks @Flash-LHR.
• Mattermost (plugin): retry websocket monitor connections with exponential backoff and abort-aware teardown so transient connect failures no longer permanently stop monitoring. (#14962) Thanks @mcaxtr.
• Discord/Agents: apply channel/group historyLimit during embedded-runner history compaction to prevent long-running channel sessions from bypassing truncation and overflowing context windows. (#11224) Thanks @shadril238.
• Outbound targets: fail closed for WhatsApp/Twitch/Google Chat fallback paths so invalid or missing targets are dropped instead of rerouted, and align resolver hints with strict target requirements. (#13578) Thanks @mcaxtr.
• Gateway/Restart: clear stale command-queue and heartbeat wake runtime state after SIGUSR1 in-process restarts to prevent zombie gateway behavior where queued work stops draining. (#15195) Thanks @joeykrug.
• Heartbeat: prevent scheduler silent-death races during runner reloads, preserve retry cooldown backoff under wake bursts, and prioritize user/action wake causes over interval/retry reasons when coalescing. (#15108) Thanks @joeykrug.
• Heartbeat: allow explicit wake (wake) and hook wake (hook:*) reasons to run even when HEARTBEAT.md is effectively empty so queued system events are processed. (#14527) Thanks @arosstale.
• Auto-reply/Heartbeat: strip sentence-ending HEARTBEAT_OK tokens even when followed by up to 4 punctuation characters, while preserving surrounding sentence punctuation. (#15847) Thanks @Spacefish.
• Agents/Heartbeat: stop auto-creating HEARTBEAT.md during workspace bootstrap so missing files continue to run heartbeat as documented. (#11766) Thanks @shadril238.
• Sessions/Agents: pass agentId when resolving existing transcript paths in reply runs so non-default agents and heartbeat/chat handlers no longer fail with Session file path must be within sessions directory. (#15141) Thanks @Goldenmonstew.
• Sessions/Agents: pass agentId through status and usage transcript-resolution paths (auto-reply, gateway usage APIs, and session cost/log loaders) so non-default agents can resolve absolute session files without path-validation failures. (#15103) Thanks @jalehman.
• Sessions: archive previous transcript files on /new and /reset session resets (including gateway sessions.reset) so stale transcripts do not accumulate on disk. (#14869) Thanks @mcaxtr.
• Status/Sessions: stop clamping derived totalTokens to context-window size, keep prompt-token snapshots wired through session accounting, and surface context usage as unknown when fresh snapshot data is missing to avoid false 100% reports. (#15114) Thanks @echoVic.
• CLI/Completion: route plugin-load logs to stderr and write generated completion scripts directly to stdout to avoid source <(openclaw completion ...) corruption. (#15481) Thanks @arosstale.
• CLI: lazily load outbound provider dependencies and remove forced success-path exits so commands terminate naturally without killing intentional long-running foreground actions. (#12906) Thanks @DrCrinkle.
• Security/Gateway + ACP: block high-risk tools (sessions_spawn, sessions_send, gateway, whatsapp_login) from HTTP /tools/invoke by default with gateway.tools.{allow,deny} overrides, and harden ACP permission selection to fail closed when tool identity/options are ambiguous while supporting allow_always/reject_always. (#15390) Thanks @aether-ai-agent.
• Security/Gateway: breaking default-behavior change - canvas IP-based auth fallback now only accepts machine-scoped addresses (RFC1918, link-local, ULA IPv6, CGNAT); public-source IP matches now require bearer token auth. (#14661) Thanks @sumleo.
• Security/Link understanding: block loopback/internal host patterns and private/mapped IPv6 addresses in extracted URL handling to close SSRF bypasses in link CLI flows. (#15604) Thanks @AI-Reviewer-QS.
• Security/Browser: constrain POST /trace/stop, POST /wait/download, and POST /download output paths to OpenClaw temp roots and reject traversal/escape paths.
• Security/Canvas: serve A2UI assets via the shared safe-open path (openFileWithinRoot) to close traversal/TOCTOU gaps, with traversal and symlink regression coverage. (#10525) Thanks @abdelsfane.
• Security/WhatsApp: enforce 0o600 on creds.json and creds.json.bak on save/backup/restore paths to reduce credential file exposure. (#10529) Thanks @abdelsfane.
• Security/Gateway: sanitize and truncate untrusted WebSocket header values in pre-handshake close logs to reduce log-poisoning risk. Thanks @thewilloftheshadow.
• Security/Audit: add misconfiguration checks for sandbox Docker config with sandbox mode off, ineffective gateway.nodes.denyCommands entries, global minimal tool-profile overrides by agent profiles, and permissive extension-plugin tool reachability.
• Security/Audit: distinguish external webhooks (hooks.enabled) from internal hooks (hooks.internal.enabled) in attack-surface summaries to avoid false exposure signals when only internal hooks are enabled. (#13474) Thanks @mcaxtr.
• Security/Onboarding: clarify multi-user DM isolation remediation with explicit openclaw config set session.dmScope ... commands in security audit, doctor security, and channel onboarding guidance. (#13129) Thanks @VintLin.
• Agents/Nodes: harden node exec approval decision handling in the nodes tool run path by failing closed on unexpected approval decisions, and add regression coverage for approval-required retry/deny/timeout flows. (#4726) Thanks @rmorse.
• Android/Nodes: harden app.update by requiring HTTPS and gateway-host URL matching plus SHA-256 verification, stream URL camera downloads to disk with size guards to avoid memory spikes, and stop signing release builds with debug keys. (#13541) Thanks @smartprogrammer93.
• Routing: enforce strict binding-scope matching across peer/guild/team/roles so peer-scoped Discord/Slack bindings no longer match unrelated guild/team contexts or fallback tiers. (#15274) Thanks @lailoo.
• Exec/Allowlist: allow multiline heredoc bodies (<<, <<-) while keeping multiline non-heredoc shell commands blocked, so exec approval parsing permits heredoc input safely without allowing general newline command chaining. (#13811) Thanks @mcaxtr.
• Config: preserve ${VAR} env references when writing config files so openclaw config set/apply/patch does not persist secrets to disk. Thanks @thewilloftheshadow.
• Config: remove a cross-request env-snapshot race in config writes by carrying read-time env context into write calls per request, preserving ${VAR} refs safely under concurrent gateway config mutations. (#11560) Thanks @akoscz.
• Config: log overwrite audit entries (path, backup target, and hash transition) whenever an existing config file is replaced, improving traceability for unexpected config clobbers.
• Config: keep legacy audio transcription migration strict by rejecting non-string/unsafe command tokens while still migrating valid custom script executables. (#5042) Thanks @shayan919293.
• Config: accept $schema key in config file so JSON Schema editor tooling works without validation errors. (#14998)
• Gateway/Tools Invoke: sanitize /tools/invoke execution failures while preserving 400 for tool input errors and returning 500 for unexpected runtime failures, with regression coverage and docs updates. (#13185) Thanks @davidrudduck.
• Gateway/Hooks: preserve 408 for hook request-body timeout responses while keeping bounded auth-failure cache eviction behavior, with timeout-status regression coverage. (#15848) Thanks @AI-Reviewer-QS.
• Plugins/Hooks: fire before_tool_call hook exactly once per tool invocation in embedded runs by removing duplicate dispatch paths while preserving parameter mutation semantics. (#15635) Thanks @lailoo.
• Agents/Transcript policy: sanitize OpenAI/Codex tool-call ids during transcript policy normalization to prevent invalid tool-call identifiers from propagating into session history. (#15279) Thanks @divisonofficer.
• Agents/Image tool: cap image-analysis completion maxTokens by model capability (min(4096, model.maxTokens)) to avoid over-limit provider failures while still preventing truncation. (#11770) Thanks @detecti1.
• Agents/Compaction: centralize exec default resolution in the shared tool factory so per-agent tools.exec overrides (host/security/ask/node and related defaults) persist across compaction retries. (#15833) Thanks @napetrov.
• Gateway/Agents: stop injecting a phantom main agent into gateway agent listings when agents.list explicitly excludes it. (#11450) Thanks @arosstale.
• Process/Exec: avoid shell execution for .exe commands on Windows so env overrides work reliably in runCommandWithTimeout. Thanks @thewilloftheshadow.
• Daemon/Windows: preserve literal backslashes in gateway.cmd command parsing so drive and UNC paths are not corrupted in runtime checks and doctor entrypoint comparisons. (#15642) Thanks @arosstale.
• Sandbox: pass configured sandbox.docker.env variables to sandbox containers at docker create time. (#15138) Thanks @stevebot-alive.
• Voice Call: route webhook runtime event handling through shared manager event logic so rejected inbound hangups are idempotent in production, with regression tests for duplicate reject events and provider-call-ID remapping parity. (#15892) Thanks @dcantu96.
• Cron: add regression coverage for announce-mode isolated jobs so runs that already report delivered: true do not enqueue duplicate main-session relays, including delivery configs where mode is omitted and defaults to announce. (#15737) Thanks @brandonwise.
• Cron: honor deleteAfterRun in isolated announce delivery by mapping it to subagent announce cleanup mode, so cron run sessions configured for deletion are removed after completion. (#15368) Thanks @arosstale.
• Web tools/web_fetch: prefer text/markdown responses for Cloudflare Markdown for Agents, add cf-markdown extraction for markdown bodies, and redact fetched URLs in x-markdown-tokens debug logs to avoid leaking raw paths/query params. (#15376) Thanks @Yaxuan42.
• Clawdock: avoid Zsh readonly variable collisions in helper scripts. (#15501) Thanks @nkelner.
• Memory: switch default local embedding model to the QAT embeddinggemma-300m-qat-Q8_0 variant for better quality at the same footprint. (#15429) Thanks @azade-c.
• Docs/Mermaid: remove hardcoded Mermaid init theme blocks from four docs diagrams so dark mode inherits readable theme defaults. (#15157) Thanks @heytulsiprasad.

Changes

• CLI: add openclaw logs --local-time to display log timestamps in local timezone. (#13818) Thanks @xialonglee.
• Telegram: render blockquotes as native tags instead of stripping them. (#14608)
• Config: avoid redacting maxTokens-like fields during config snapshot redaction, preventing round-trip validation failures in /config. (#14006) Thanks @constansino.

Breaking

• Hooks: POST /hooks/agent now rejects payload sessionKey overrides by default. To keep fixed hook context, set hooks.defaultSessionKey (recommended with hooks.allowedSessionKeyPrefixes: ["hook:"]). If you need legacy behavior, explicitly set hooks.allowRequestSessionKey: true. Thanks @alpernae for reporting.

Fixes

• Gateway/OpenResponses: harden URL-based input_file/input_image handling with explicit SSRF deny policy, hostname allowlists (files.urlAllowlist / images.urlAllowlist), per-request URL input caps (maxUrlParts), blocked-fetch audit logging, and regression coverage/docs updates.

• Security: remove bundled soul-evil hook. (#14757) Thanks @Imccccc.
• Security/Audit: add hook session-routing hardening checks (hooks.defaultSessionKey, hooks.allowRequestSessionKey, and prefix allowlists), and warn when HTTP API endpoints allow explicit session-key routing.
• Security/Sandbox: confine mirrored skill sync destinations to the sandbox skills/ root and stop using frontmatter-controlled skill names as filesystem destination paths. Thanks @1seal.
• Security/Web tools: treat browser/web content as untrusted by default (wrapped outputs for browser snapshot/tabs/console and structured external-content metadata for web tools), and strip toolResult.details from model-facing transcript/compaction inputs to reduce prompt-injection replay risk.
• Security/Hooks: harden webhook and device token verification with shared constant-time secret comparison, and add per-client auth-failure throttling for hook endpoints (429 + Retry-After). Thanks @akhmittra.
• Security/Browser: require auth for loopback browser control HTTP routes, auto-generate gateway.auth.token when browser control starts without auth, and add a security-audit check for unauthenticated browser control. Thanks @tcusolle.
• Sessions/Gateway: harden transcript path resolution and reject unsafe session IDs/file paths so session operations stay within agent sessions directories. Thanks @akhmittra.
• Gateway: raise WS payload/buffer limits so 5,000,000-byte image attachments work reliably. (#14486) Thanks @0xRaini.

• Heartbeat: prevent scheduler stalls on unexpected run errors and avoid immediate rerun loops after requests-in-flight skips. (#14901) Thanks @joeykrug.
• Cron: honor stored session model overrides for isolated-agent runs while preserving hooks.gmail.model precedence for Gmail hook sessions. (#14983) Thanks @shtse8.
• Logging/Browser: fall back to os.tmpdir()/openclaw for default log, browser trace, and browser download temp paths when /tmp/openclaw is unavailable.

• Discord: process DM reactions instead of silently dropping them. (#10418) Thanks @mcaxtr.
• Discord: respect replyToMode in threads. (#11062) Thanks @cordx56.

• Signal: render mention placeholders as @uuid/@phone so mention gating and Clawdbot targeting work. (#2013) Thanks @alexgleason.
• Discord: omit empty content fields for media-only messages while preserving caption whitespace. (#9507) Thanks @leszekszpunar.
• Onboarding/Providers: add Z.AI endpoint-specific auth choices (zai-coding-global, zai-coding-cn, zai-global, zai-cn) and expand default Z.AI model wiring. (#13456) Thanks @tomsun28.
