openclaw 2026.3.12

on Node.js NPM

Changes

• Control UI/dashboard-v2: refresh the gateway dashboard with modular overview, chat, config, agent, and session views, plus a command palette, mobile bottom tabs, and richer chat tools like slash commands, search, export, and pinned messages. (#41503) Thanks @BunsDev.
• OpenAI/GPT-5.4 fast mode: add configurable session-level fast toggles across /fast, TUI, Control UI, and ACP, with per-model config defaults and OpenAI/Codex request shaping.
• Anthropic/Claude fast mode: map the shared /fast toggle and params.fastMode to direct Anthropic API-key service_tier requests, with live verification for both Anthropic and OpenAI fast-mode tiers.
• Models/plugins: move Ollama, vLLM, and SGLang onto the provider-plugin architecture, with provider-owned onboarding, discovery, model-picker setup, and post-selection hooks so core provider wiring is more modular.
• Docs/Kubernetes: Add a starter K8s install path with raw manifests, Kind setup, and deployment docs. Thanks @sallyom @dzianisv @egkristi
• Agents/subagents: add sessions_yield so orchestrators can end the current turn immediately, skip queued tool work, and carry a hidden follow-up payload into the next session turn. (#36537) thanks @jriff
• Slack/agent replies: support channelData.slack.blocks in the shared reply delivery path so agents can send Block Kit messages through standard Slack outbound delivery. (#44592) Thanks @vincentkoc.

Fixes

• Security/device pairing: switch /pair and openclaw qr setup codes to short-lived bootstrap tokens so the next release no longer embeds shared gateway credentials in chat or QR pairing payloads. Thanks @lintsinghua.
• Security/plugins: disable implicit workspace plugin auto-load so cloned repositories cannot execute workspace plugin code without an explicit trust decision. (GHSA-99qw-6mr3-36qr)(#44174) Thanks @lintsinghua and @vincentkoc.
• Models/Kimi Coding: send anthropic-messages tools in native Anthropic format again so kimi-coding stops degrading tool calls into XML/plain-text pseudo invocations instead of real tool_use blocks. (#38669, #39907, #40552) Thanks @opriz.
• TUI/chat log: reuse the active assistant message component for the same streaming run so openclaw tui no longer renders duplicate assistant replies. (#35364) Thanks @lisitan.
• Telegram/model picker: make inline model button selections persist the chosen session model correctly, clear overrides when selecting the configured default, and include effective fallback models in /models button validation. (#40105) Thanks @avirweb.
• Cron/proactive delivery: keep isolated direct cron sends out of the write-ahead resend queue so transient-send retries do not replay duplicate proactive messages after restart. (#40646) Thanks @openperf and @vincentkoc.
• Models/Kimi Coding: send the built-in User-Agent: claude-code/0.1.0 header by default for kimi-coding while still allowing explicit provider headers to override it, so Kimi Code subscription auth can work without a local header-injection proxy. (#30099) Thanks @Amineelfarssi and @vincentkoc.
• Models/OpenAI Codex Spark: keep gpt-5.3-codex-spark working on the openai-codex/* path via resolver fallbacks and clearer Codex-only handling, while continuing to suppress the stale direct openai/* Spark row that OpenAI rejects live.
• Ollama/Kimi Cloud: apply the Moonshot Kimi payload compatibility wrapper to Ollama-hosted Kimi models like kimi-k2.5:cloud, so tool routing no longer breaks when thinking is enabled. (#41519) Thanks @vincentkoc.
• Moonshot CN API: respect explicit baseUrl (api.moonshot.cn) in implicit provider resolution so platform.moonshot.cn API keys authenticate correctly instead of returning HTTP 401. (#33637) Thanks @chengzhichao-xydt.
• Kimi Coding/provider config: respect explicit models.providers["kimi-coding"].baseUrl when resolving the implicit provider so custom Kimi Coding endpoints no longer get overwritten by the built-in default. (#36353) Thanks @2233admin.
• Gateway/main-session routing: keep TUI and other mode:UI main-session sends on the internal surface when deliver is enabled, so replies no longer inherit the session's persisted Telegram/WhatsApp route. (#43918) Thanks @obviyus.
• BlueBubbles/self-chat echo dedupe: drop reflected duplicate webhook copies only when a matching fromMe event was just seen for the same chat, body, and timestamp, preventing self-chat loops without broad webhook suppression. Related to #32166. (#38442) Thanks @vincentkoc.
• iMessage/self-chat echo dedupe: drop reflected duplicate copies only when a matching is_from_me event was just seen for the same chat, text, and created_at, preventing self-chat loops without broad text-only suppression. Related to #32166. (#38440) Thanks @vincentkoc.
• Subagents/completion announce retries: raise the default announce timeout to 90 seconds and stop retrying gateway-timeout failures for externally delivered completion announces, preventing duplicate user-facing completion messages after slow gateway responses. Fixes #41235. Thanks @vasujain00 and @vincentkoc.
• Mattermost/block streaming: fix duplicate message delivery (one threaded, one top-level) when block streaming is active by excluding replyToId from the block reply dedup key and adding an explicit threading dock to the Mattermost plugin. (#41362) Thanks @mathiasnagler and @vincentkoc.
• Mattermost/reply media delivery: pass agent-scoped mediaLocalRoots through shared reply delivery so allowed local files upload correctly from button, slash-command, and model-picker replies. (#44021) Thanks @LyleLiu666.
• macOS/Reminders: add the missing NSRemindersUsageDescription to the bundled app so apple-reminders can trigger the system permission prompt from OpenClaw.app. (#8559) Thanks @dinakars777.
• Gateway/session discovery: discover disk-only and retired ACP session stores under custom templated session.store roots so ACP reconciliation, session-id/session-label targeting, and run-id fallback keep working after restart. (#44176) thanks @gumadeiras.
• Plugins/env-scoped roots: fix plugin discovery/load caches and provenance tracking so same-process HOME/OPENCLAW_HOME changes no longer reuse stale plugin state or misreport ~/... plugins as untracked. (#44046) thanks @gumadeiras.
• Models/OpenRouter native ids: canonicalize native OpenRouter model keys across config writes, runtime lookups, fallback management, and models list --plain, and migrate legacy duplicated openrouter/openrouter/... config entries forward on write.
• Windows/native update: make package installs use the npm update path instead of the git path, carry portable Git into native Windows updates, and mirror the installer's Windows npm env so openclaw update no longer dies early on missing git or node-llama-cpp download setup.
• Sandbox/write: preserve pinned mutation-helper payload stdin so sandboxed write no longer reports success while creating empty files. (#43876) Thanks @glitch418x.
• Security/exec approvals: escape invisible Unicode format characters in approval prompts so zero-width command text renders as visible \u{...} escapes instead of spoofing the reviewed command. (GHSA-pcqg-f7rg-xfvv)(#43687) Thanks @EkiXu and @vincentkoc.
• Hooks/loader: fail closed when workspace hook paths cannot be resolved with realpath, so unreadable or broken internal hook paths are skipped instead of falling back to unresolved imports. (#44437) Thanks @vincentkoc.
• Hooks/agent deliveries: dedupe repeated hook requests by optional idempotency key so webhook retries can reuse the first run instead of launching duplicate agent executions. (#44438) Thanks @vincentkoc.
• Security/exec detection: normalize compatibility Unicode and strip invisible formatting code points before obfuscation checks so zero-width and fullwidth command tricks no longer suppress heuristic detection. (GHSA-9r3v-37xh-2cf6)(#44091) Thanks @wooluo and @vincentkoc.
• Security/exec allowlist: preserve POSIX case sensitivity and keep ? within a single path segment so exact-looking allowlist patterns no longer overmatch executables across case or directory boundaries. (GHSA-f8r2-vg7x-gh8m)(#43798) Thanks @zpbrent and @vincentkoc.
• Security/commands: require sender ownership for /config and /debug so authorized non-owner senders can no longer reach owner-only config and runtime debug surfaces. (GHSA-r7vr-gr74-94p8)(#44305) Thanks @tdjackey and @vincentkoc.
• Security/gateway auth: clear unbound client-declared scopes on shared-token WebSocket connects so device-less shared-token operators cannot self-declare elevated scopes. (GHSA-rqpp-rjj8-7wv8)(#44306) Thanks @LUOYEcode and @vincentkoc.
• Security/browser.request: block persistent browser profile create/delete routes from write-scoped browser.request so callers can no longer persist admin-only browser profile changes through the browser control surface. (GHSA-vmhq-cqm9-6p7q)(#43800) Thanks @tdjackey and @vincentkoc.
• Security/agent: reject public spawned-run lineage fields and keep workspace inheritance on the internal spawned-session path so external agent callers can no longer override the gateway workspace boundary. (GHSA-2rqg-gjgv-84jm)(#43801) Thanks @tdjackey and @vincentkoc.
• Security/session_status: enforce sandbox session-tree visibility and shared agent-to-agent access guards before reading or mutating target session state, so sandboxed subagents can no longer inspect parent session metadata or write parent model overrides via session_status. (GHSA-wcxr-59v9-rxr8)(#43754) Thanks @tdjackey and @vincentkoc.
• Security/agent tools: mark nodes as explicitly owner-only and document/test that canvas remains a shared trusted-operator surface unless a real boundary bypass exists.
• Security/exec approvals: fail closed for Ruby approval flows that use -r, --require, or -I so approval-backed commands no longer bind only the main script while extra local code-loading flags remain outside the reviewed file snapshot.
• Security/device pairing: cap issued and verified device-token scopes to each paired device's approved scope baseline so stale or overbroad tokens cannot exceed approved access. (GHSA-2pwv-x786-56f8)(#43686) Thanks @tdjackey and @vincentkoc.
• Docs/onboarding: align the legacy wizard reference and openclaw onboard command docs with the Ollama onboarding flow so all onboarding reference paths now document --auth-choice ollama, Cloud + Local mode, and non-interactive usage. (#43473) Thanks @BruceMacD.
• Models/secrets: enforce source-managed SecretRef markers in generated models.json so runtime-resolved provider secrets are not persisted when runtime projection is skipped. (#43759) Thanks @joshavant.
• Security/WebSocket preauth: shorten unauthenticated handshake retention and reject oversized pre-auth frames before application-layer parsing to reduce pre-pairing exposure on unsupported public deployments. (GHSA-jv4g-m82p-2j93)(#44089) (GHSA-xwx2-ppv2-wx98)(#44089) Thanks @ez-lbz and @vincentkoc.
• Security/proxy attachments: restore the shared media-store size cap for persisted browser proxy files so oversized payloads are rejected instead of overriding the intended 5 MB limit. (GHSA-6rph-mmhp-h7h9)(#43684) Thanks @tdjackey and @vincentkoc.
• Security/host env: block inherited GIT_EXEC_PATH from sanitized host exec environments so Git helper resolution cannot be steered by host environment state. (GHSA-jf5v-pqgw-gm5m)(#43685) Thanks @zpbrent and @vincentkoc.
• Security/Feishu webhook: require encryptKey alongside verificationToken in webhook mode so unsigned forged events are rejected instead of being processed with token-only configuration. (GHSA-g353-mgv3-8pcj)(#44087) Thanks @lintsinghua and @vincentkoc.
• Security/Feishu reactions: preserve looked-up group chat typing and fail closed on ambiguous reaction context so group authorization and mention gating cannot be bypassed through synthetic p2p reactions. (GHSA-m69h-jm2f-2pv8)(#44088) Thanks @zpbrent and @vincentkoc.
• Security/LINE webhook: require signatures for empty-event POST probes too so unsigned requests no longer confirm webhook reachability with a 200 response. (GHSA-mhxh-9pjm-w7q5)(#44090) Thanks @TerminalsandCoffee and @vincentkoc.
• Security/Zalo webhook: rate limit invalid secret guesses before auth so weak webhook secrets cannot be brute-forced through unauthenticated churned requests without pre-auth 429 responses. (GHSA-5m9r-p9g7-679c)(#44173) Thanks @zpbrent and @vincentkoc.
• Security/Zalouser groups: require stable group IDs for allowlist auth by default and gate mutable group-name matching behind channels.zalouser.dangerouslyAllowNameMatching. Thanks @zpbrent.
• Security/Slack and Teams routing: require stable channel and team IDs for allowlist routing by default, with mutable name matching only via each channel's dangerouslyAllowNameMatching break-glass flag.
• Security/exec approvals: fail closed for ambiguous inline loader and shell-payload script execution, bind the real script after POSIX shell value-taking flags, and unwrap pnpm/npm exec/npx script runners before approval binding. (GHSA-57jw-9722-6rf2)(GHSA-jvqh-rfmh-jh27)(GHSA-x7pp-23xv-mmr4)(GHSA-jc5j-vg4r-j5jx)(#44247) Thanks @tdjackey and @vincentkoc.
• Doctor/gateway service audit: canonicalize service entrypoint paths before comparing them so symlink-vs-realpath installs no longer trigger false "entrypoint does not match the current install" repair prompts. (#43882) Thanks @ngutman.
• Doctor/gateway service audit: earlier groundwork for this fix landed in the superseded #28338 branch. Thanks @realriphub.
• Gateway/session stores: regenerate the Swift push-test protocol models and align Windows native session-store realpath handling so protocol checks and sync session discovery stop drifting on Windows. (#44266) thanks @jalehman.
• Context engine/session routing: forward optional sessionKey through context-engine lifecycle calls so plugins can see structured routing metadata during bootstrap, assembly, post-turn ingestion, and compaction. (#44157) thanks @jalehman.
• Agents/failover: classify z.ai network_error stop reasons as retryable timeouts so provider connectivity failures trigger fallback instead of surfacing raw unhandled-stop-reason errors. (#43884) Thanks @hougangdev.
• Memory/session sync: add mode-aware post-compaction session reindexing with agents.defaults.compaction.postIndexSync plus agents.defaults.memorySearch.sync.sessions.postCompactionForce, so compacted session memory can refresh immediately without forcing every deployment into synchronous reindexing. (#25561) thanks @rodrigouroz.
• Telegram/model picker: make inline model button selections persist the chosen session model correctly, clear overrides when selecting the configured default, and include effective fallback models in /models button validation. (#40105) Thanks @avirweb.
• Telegram/native command sync: suppress expected BOT_COMMANDS_TOO_MUCH retry error noise, add a final fallback summary log, and document the difference between command-menu overflow and real Telegram network failures.
• Mattermost/reply media delivery: pass agent-scoped mediaLocalRoots through shared reply delivery so allowed local files upload correctly from button, slash-command, and model-picker replies. (#44021) Thanks @LyleLiu666.
• Plugins/env-scoped roots: fix plugin discovery/load caches and provenance tracking so same-process HOME/OPENCLAW_HOME changes no longer reuse stale plugin state or misreport ~/... plugins as untracked. (#44046) thanks @gumadeiras.
• Gateway/session discovery: discover disk-only and retired ACP session stores under custom templated session.store roots so ACP reconciliation, session-id/session-label targeting, and run-id fallback keep working after restart. (#44176) thanks @gumadeiras.
• Models/OpenRouter native ids: canonicalize native OpenRouter model keys across config writes, runtime lookups, fallback management, and models list --plain, and migrate legacy duplicated openrouter/openrouter/... config entries forward on write.
• Gateway/hooks: bucket hook auth failures by forwarded client IP behind trusted proxies and warn when hooks.allowedAgentIds leaves hook routing unrestricted.
• Agents/compaction: skip the post-compaction cache-ttl marker write when a compaction completed in the same attempt, preventing the next turn from immediately triggering a second tiny compaction. (#28548) thanks @MoerAI.
• Native chat/macOS: add /new, /reset, and /clear reset triggers, keep shared main-session aliases aligned, and ignore stale model-selection completions so native chat state stays in sync across reset and fast model changes. (#10898) Thanks @Nachx639.
• Agents/compaction safeguard: route missing-model and missing-API-key cancellation warnings through the shared subsystem logger so they land in structured and file logs. (#9974) Thanks @dinakars777.
• Cron/doctor: stop flagging canonical agentTurn and systemEvent payload kinds as legacy cron storage, while still normalizing whitespace-padded and non-canonical variants. (#44012) Thanks @shuicici.
• ACP/client final-message delivery: preserve terminal assistant text snapshots before resolving end_turn, so ACP clients no longer drop the last visible reply when the gateway sends the final message body on the terminal chat event. (#17615) Thanks @pjeby.
• Telegram/Discord status reactions: show a temporary compacting reaction during auto-compaction pauses and restore thinking afterward so the bot no longer appears frozen while context is being compacted. (#35474) thanks @Cypherm.
