  • fix(cron): retry transient recurring failures before next schedule — Summary This changes recurring cron jobs to retry transient failures on the configured retry backoff window before falling back to their next natural schedule. Previously, transient failures for...
  • fix(logging): add sink-level log redaction gate — Summary - Problem: log redaction was applied inconsistently at logging call sites, so file logs and external transports could still persist raw secrets even when some console-facing paths were...
  • fix(ui): populate context-window cache from gateway model catalog — Summary - Problem: The context window usage meter in the Control UI always shows 0% for Anthropic/Claude models, even though session_status correctly reports real usage (e.g. "Context: 81k/200k...
  • browser: support per-profile headless override — Summary - add browser.profiles..headless to the browser profile config schema - make resolveProfile() compute a per-profile headless value that falls back to global browser.headless - use the...
  • fix(tasks): add tolerance for startedAt before createdAt in task audit — Summary openclaw tasks audit reports false-positive inconsistent_timestamps warnings on the majority of tasks (both succeeded and failed), making the audit output noisy and hiding real issues. Root...
  • Qwen: qwen3.6-plus is blocked on Coding Plan Pro endpoint despite being officially supported — Problem OpenClaw hardcodes a filter that blocks qwen3.6-plus when the configured Qwen provider uses the Coding Plan endpoint (https://coding.dashscope.aliyuncs.com/v1), even though Alibaba Cloud...
  • fix(acp): return SESSION_BUSY error when concurrent calls hit active session — When multiple concurrent openclaw agent --session-id calls target the same session while a turn is in progress, callers could be silently dropped. This fix checks for an active turn before entering...
  • Yuanbo — Summary Describe the problem and fix in 2–5 bullets: If this PR fixes a plugin beta-release blocker, title it fix(): beta blocker - and link the matching Beta blocker: - issue labeled beta-blocker....
  • fix(gateway): SIGKILL stale process when graceful shutdown times out on restart/stop — Problem Fixes #43960. restartLaunchAgent() already called waitForPidExit() before bootstrapping the new gateway, but if the old process was still alive after the 10-second SIGTERM window, the...
  • fix(exec): surface signal-killed subprocesses as structured errors instead of silent undefined — Problem When a subprocess is killed by an OS signal (SIGKILL from OOM pressure, macOS debug.swd_panic=1 watchpoints, etc.) Node.js delivers exit(null, "SIGKILL") to the exit handler. The previous...
  • fix: add logging for 4xx hook gateway errors — Summary Adds logging for all 4xx error responses in the hook gateway handler to improve debuggability. Root Cause When hook POSTs fail validation (HTTP 400), no trace is left in the gateway journal....
  • Feature/add wecom channel — Summary - Problem: OpenClaw lacks WeCom channel support; users cannot connect to WeCom via the official WeCom Bot API. - Why it matters: WeCom is the dominant enterprise communication platform in...
  • fix(hooks): preserve messageProvider in compaction and reset contexts — Summary Preserve messageProvider in before_compaction and before_reset hook contexts so plugins do not have to fall back to unknown on valid channel-scoped sessions. This fixes three concrete paths:...
  • feat(agents): forward prompt_cache_key on openai-completions transport when compat.supportsPromptCacheKey is set — Summary buildOpenAIResponsesParams forwards prompt_cache_key: options?.sessionId on every Responses API turn (src/agents/openai-transport-stream.ts:794), and parseTransportChunkUsage already reads...
  • fix: recover reasoning-only Ollama turns — Summary - allow Ollama runs to use the same incomplete-turn recovery guards as GPT-5 strict-agentic runs - retry reasoning-only and empty-response Ollama turns instead of surfacing them as unusable...
  • Add per-session delete/archive action button in Control UI Sessions view — Currently, deleting sessions in the Control UI requires selecting checkboxes and using the bulk delete bar. This works for batch operations but is cumbersome for quick single-session actions....
  • feat(qqbot): extract self-contained engine/ architecture with QR-code onboarding, approval handling — Summary - Problem: The QQBot built-in plugin (extensions/qqbot) had all gateway logic in a single 1500+ line monolith file tightly coupled to the framework plugin-sdk, with fragmented Logger...
  • agents: replay encrypted_content for volcengine seed thinking summary — Summary - Support encrypted_content replay for openai-completions assistant/tool continuations. - Send previous_response_id for HTTP openai-responses / openai-codex-responses tool-only continuations....

  • fix: skip Homebrew prompt on FreeBSD and other non-Linux/macOS platforms — Summary Fixes #68893. The needsBrewPrompt guard in src/commands/onboard-skills.ts used: This incorrectly shows the Homebrew install suggestion on FreeBSD (and any other non-Windows unix that isn't...
  • Bug: before_compaction and before_reset hook contexts can drop messageProvider — Problem before_compaction and before_reset plugin hook contexts can lose messageProvider on valid channel-scoped sessions. That breaks plugins that build stable per-channel/session identities from...
  • fix: reduce ollama gemma4 cold-start penalty on first heavy turn — Summary - keep native Ollama chat requests warm across adjacent turns with keep_alive - cover the request shape in stream runtime tests - reduce the cold-start penalty reported in #64541 for...
  • fix(cron): normalize missing persisted job state — Closes #65916 Summary - Problem: persisted cron jobs with missing state or state: null crash cron.start() while reading job.state.runningAtMs. - Why it matters: one malformed restored/programmatic...
