oh-my-codex v0.8.1

Released: 2026-03-05

This is a stability + usability release focused on team orchestration reliability, notification setup simplicity, and safer OpenClaw operations.

TL;DR

If you use $team/omx team heavily, this release makes the runtime more consistent by standardizing around CLI-first interop.

If you are setting up notifications, onboarding is now cleaner through a unified configure-notifications flow.

If you use OpenClaw integrations, timeout handling now has safe configurable bounds.

What changed

1) Team runtime: CLI-first interop is now the default direction

• Added and finalized team API interop through:
  • omx team api ...
• Legacy team_* MCP tools are now treated as deprecated paths in favor of the CLI-first contract.

Why this matters:

• More predictable behavior across team orchestration flows
• Cleaner compatibility surface for worker/leader interactions
• Better long-term maintainability around team runtime contracts

2) Notifications: setup is now unified

• Notification setup guidance has been refactored into a single workflow:
  • configure-notifications

Why this matters:

• Fewer fragmented setup paths
• Easier onboarding for new users
• Lower chance of config drift between notification providers

3) OpenClaw safety + operability improvements

• OpenClaw command timeout is now configurable with bounded safety limits.
• Documentation was expanded with stronger token/command safety guidance and a practical dev runbook.

Why this matters:

• Safer operation in automation-heavy environments
• Better operational clarity for development and incident follow-up

Compatibility / migration notes

• If you previously relied on legacy team_* MCP workflows, migrate to:
  • omx team api <operation> ...
• For notification setup, prefer:
  • omx configure-notifications (or skill equivalent)

No breaking package-level API changes were introduced in this patch release.
