OpenClaw 2026.4.23-beta.6 のリリース

2026.4.23

Changes

• Providers/OpenAI: add image generation and reference-image editing through Codex OAuth, so openai/gpt-image-2 works without an OPENAI_API_KEY. Fixes #70703.

• Providers/OpenRouter: add image generation and reference-image editing through image_generate, so OpenRouter image models work with OPENROUTER_API_KEY. Fixes #55066 via #67668. Thanks @notamicrodose.

• Image generation: let agents request provider-supported quality and output format hints, and pass OpenAI-specific background, moderation, compression, and user hints through the image_generate tool. (#70503) Thanks @ottodeng.

• Agents/subagents: add optional forked context for native sessions_spawn runs so agents can let a child inherit the requester transcript when needed, while keeping clean isolated sessions as the default; includes prompt guidance, context-engine hook metadata, docs, and QA coverage.

• Agents/tools: add optional per-call timeoutMs support for image, video, music, and TTS generation tools so agents can extend provider request timeouts only when a specific generation needs it.

• Memory/local embeddings: add configurable memorySearch.local.contextSize with a 4096 default so local embedding contexts can be tuned for constrained hosts without patching the memory host. (#70544) Thanks @aalekh-sarvam.

• Dependencies/Pi: update bundled Pi packages to 0.70.0, use Pi's upstream gpt-5.5 catalog metadata for OpenAI and OpenAI Codex, and keep only local gpt-5.5-pro forward-compat handling.

• Codex harness: add structured debug logging for embedded harness selection decisions so /status stays simple while gateway logs explain auto-selection and Pi fallback reasons. (#70760) Thanks @100yenadmin.

Fixes

• Codex harness: route native request_user_input prompts back to the originating chat, preserve queued follow-up answers, and honor newer app-server command approval amendment decisions.

• Codex harness/context-engine: redact context-engine assembly failures before logging, so fallback warnings do not serialize raw error objects. (#70809) Thanks @jalehman.

• WhatsApp/onboarding: keep first-run setup entry loading off the Baileys runtime dependency path, so packaged QuickStart installs can show WhatsApp setup before runtime deps are staged. Fixes #70932.

• Block streaming: suppress final assembled text after partial block-delivery aborts when the already-sent text chunks exactly cover the final reply, preventing duplicate replies without dropping unrelated short messages. Fixes #70921.

• Codex harness/Windows: resolve npm-installed codex.cmd shims through PATHEXT before starting the native app-server, so codex/* models work without a manual .exe shim. Fixes #70913.

• Slack/groups: classify MPIM group DMs as group chat context and suppress verbose tool/plan progress on Slack non-DM surfaces, so internal "Working…" traces no longer leak into rooms. Fixes #70912.

• Agents/replay: stop OpenAI/Codex transcript replay from synthesizing missing tool results while still preserving synthetic repair on Anthropic, Gemini, and Bedrock transport-owned sessions. (#61556) Thanks @VictorJeon and @vincentkoc.

• Telegram/media replies: parse remote markdown image syntax into outbound media payloads on the final reply path, so Telegram group chats stop falling back to plain-text image URLs when the model or a tool emits ... instead of a MEDIA: token. (#66191) Thanks @apezam and @vincentkoc.

• Agents/WebChat: surface non-retryable provider failures such as billing, auth, and rate-limit errors from the embedded runner instead of logging surface_error and leaving webchat with no rendered error. Fixes #70124. (#70848) Thanks @truffle-dev.

• WhatsApp: unify outbound media normalization across direct sends and auto-replies. Thanks @mcaxtr.

• Memory/CLI: declare the built-in local embedding provider in the memory-core manifest, so standalone openclaw memory status, index, and search can resolve local embeddings just like the gateway runtime. Fixes #70836. (#70873) Thanks @mattznojassist.

• Gateway/WebChat: preserve image attachments for text-only primary models by offloading them as media refs instead of dropping them, so configured image tools can still inspect the original file. Fixes #68513, #44276, #51656, #70212.

• Plugins/Google Meet: hang up delegated Twilio calls on leave, clean up Chrome realtime audio bridges when launch fails, and use a flat provider-safe tool schema.

• Media understanding: honor explicit image-model configuration before native-vision skips, including agents.defaults.imageModel, tools.media.image.models, and provider image defaults such as MiniMax VL when the active chat model is text-only. Fixes #47614, #63722, #69171.

• Codex/media understanding: support codex/* image models through bounded Codex app-server image turns, while keeping openai-codex/* on the OpenAI Codex OAuth route and validating app-server responses against generated protocol contracts. Fixes #70201.

• Providers/OpenAI Codex: synthesize the openai-codex/gpt-5.5 OAuth model row when Codex catalog discovery omits it, so cron and subagent runs do not fail with Unknown model while the account is authenticated.

• Models/Codex: preserve Codex provider metadata when adding models from chat or CLI commands, so manually added Codex models keep the right auth and routing behavior. (#70820) Thanks @Takhoffman.

• Providers/OpenAI: route openai/gpt-image-2 through configured Codex OAuth directly when an openai-codex profile is active, instead of probing OPENAI_API_KEY first.

• Providers/OpenAI: harden image generation auth routing and Codex OAuth response parsing so fallback only applies to public OpenAI API routes and bounded SSE results. Thanks @Takhoffman.

• OpenAI/image generation: send reference-image edits as guarded multipart uploads instead of JSON data URLs, restoring complex multi-reference gpt-image-2 edits. Fixes #70642. Thanks @dashhuang.

• Providers/OpenRouter: send image-understanding prompts as user text before image parts, restoring non-empty vision responses for OpenRouter multimodal models. Fixes #70410.
