OpenClaw バージョン 2026.5.4-beta.2 の公開

2026.5.4

Highlights

• Google Meet/Voice Call: make Twilio dial-in joins speak through the realtime Gemini voice bridge with paced audio streaming, backpressure-aware buffering, barge-in queue clearing, and no TwiML fallback during realtime speech, giving Meet participants a much snappier OpenClaw voice agent. (#77064) Thanks @scoootscooob.

Changes

• Plugins/migration: emit catalog-backed install hints when plugins.entries or plugins.allow references an official external plugin that is not installed, so upgraded configs point operators to openclaw plugins install instead of telling them to remove valid plugin config. (#77483) Thanks @hclsys.

• OpenAI/Codex media: advertise Codex audio transcription in runtime and manifest metadata and route active Codex chat models to the OpenAI transcription default instead of sending chat model ids to audio transcription. Thanks @vincentkoc.

• Dependencies: refresh runtime and provider packages including Pi 0.73.0, ACPX adapters, OpenAI, Anthropic, Slack, and TypeScript native preview, while keeping the Bedrock runtime installer override pinned below the Windows ARM Node 24 npm resolver failure.

• Agents/performance: pass the resolved workspace through BTW, compaction, embedded-run model generation, and PDF model setup so explicit agent-dir model refreshes can reuse the current workspace-scoped plugin metadata snapshot instead of falling back to cold plugin metadata scans. (#77519, #77532)

• Plugins/performance: let unscoped model catalog and manifest-contract readers reuse the current workspace-compatible plugin metadata snapshot, avoiding repeated cold plugin metadata scans on hot control-plane paths while preserving env/config/workspace compatibility checks. (#77519, #77532)

• Config/plugin auto-enable: prefer the claiming plugin manifest id over a built-in channel alias when auto-allowlisting a configured channel, so WeCom/Yuanbao-style aliases resolve to the installed plugin id. Thanks @Beandon13.

• Secrets/apply: preserve auth-profile keyRef and tokenRef fields when scrubbing provider-target secrets, so the canonical SecretRef metadata survives secrets apply without keeping plaintext values. Thanks @Beandon13.

• Plugins/active-memory: skip session-store channel entries that contain : when resolving the recall subagent's channel, so QQ c2c agent IDs (e.g. c2c:10D4F7C2…) and other scoped conversation IDs do not reach bundled-plugin dirName validation and crash the recall run. The same guard already applied to explicit channelId params (#76704); this extends it to store-derived channels. (#77396) Thanks @hclsys.

• Secrets/external channel contracts: also look in /dist/ when resolving the secret-contract-api sidecar, so npm-published externalized channel plugins (e.g. @openclaw/discord since 2026.5.2) whose compiled artifacts live under dist/ actually contribute their channel SecretRef contracts to the runtime snapshot. Without this, env-backed channels.discord.token SecretRefs silently failed to resolve at gateway start on 2026.5.3, leaving the channel not configured even though #76449 had landed the generic external-contract loader. Thanks @mogglemoss.

• Models/auth: add openclaw models auth list [--provider ] [--json] so users can inspect saved per-agent auth profiles without dumping secrets or hitting the old “too many arguments” path. Thanks @vincentkoc.

• Control UI/header: show the active agent name in dashboard breadcrumbs without adding the current session key, keeping non-chat views oriented without crowding the topbar.

• Control UI/cron: make the New Job sidebar collapsible so the jobs list can reclaim space while keeping the form one click away. Thanks @BunsDev.

• Gateway/startup: keep model-catalog test helpers, run-session lookup code, QR pairing helpers, and TypeBox memory-tool schema construction out of hot startup import paths, reducing default gateway benchmark plugin-load and memory pressure.

• Control UI/performance: record browser long animation frame or long task entries in the debug event log when supported, making slow dashboard renders easier to attribute from the UI.

• Slack/streaming: add streaming.progress.render: "rich" for Block Kit progress drafts backed by structured progress line data.

• Slack/streaming: keep the newest rich progress lines when Block Kit limits trim long progress drafts. Thanks @vincentkoc.

• Channels/streaming: cap progress-draft tool lines by default so edited progress boxes avoid jumpy reflow from long wrapped lines.

• Agents/verbose: use compact explain-mode tool summaries for /verbose and progress drafts by default, with agents.defaults.toolProgressDetail: "raw" and per-agent overrides for debugging raw command/detail output.

• Control UI/chat: add an agent-first filter to the chat session picker, keep chat controls/composer responsive across phone/tablet/desktop widths, keep desktop chat controls on one row, avoid duplicate avatar refreshes during initial chat load, and hide that row while scrolling down the transcript. Thanks @BunsDev.

• Control UI/chat: collapse consecutive duplicate text messages into one bubble with a count so no-op heartbeat acknowledgements stay compact without hiding nearby context.

• Agents/subagents: preserve every grouped child result when direct completion fallback has to bypass the requester-agent announce turn. Thanks @vincentkoc.

• TTS/telephony: honor provider voice/model overrides in telephony synthesis providers so Google Meet agent speech logs match the backend that actually produced the audio. Thanks @vincentkoc.

• Voice Call/realtime: bound the paced Twilio audio queue and close overloaded realtime streams before provider audio can pile up behind the websocket backpressure guard. Thanks @vincentkoc.

• Docs: clarify that IRC uses raw TCP/TLS sockets outside operator-managed forward proxy routing, so direct IRC egress should be explicitly approved before enabling IRC. Thanks @jesse-merhi.

• Gateway/performance: defer non-readiness sidecars until after the ready signal, avoid hot-path channel plugin barrel imports, and fast-path trusted bundled plugin metadata during Gateway startup.

• Gateway/performance: avoid importing jiti on native-loadable plugin startup paths, so compiled bundled plugin surfaces do not pay source-transform loader cost unless fallback loading is actually needed.

• Gateway/diagnostics: add startup phase spans, active work labels, stale terminal bridge markers, and default sync-I/O tracing in pnpm gateway:watch so slow Gateway turns are easier to attribute from logs and stability diagnostics.

• Plugins/loader: preserve real compiled plugin module evaluation errors on the native fast path instead of treating every thrown .js module as a source-transform fallback miss. Thanks @vincentkoc.

• QA/Mantis: add pnpm openclaw qa mantis slack-desktop-smoke to run Slack live QA inside a Crabbox VNC desktop, open Slack Web, and capture desktop screenshots beside the Slack QA artifacts.

• QA/Mantis: pass the runtime env through desktop-browser Crabbox and artifact-copy child commands, so embedded Mantis callers can provide Crabbox credentials without mutating the parent process. Thanks @vincentkoc.

• QA/Mantis: return the copied Slack desktop screenshot path even when remote Slack QA fails, so the CLI still prints the failure screenshot artifact. Thanks @vincentkoc.

• QA/Mantis: accept Blacksmith Testbox tbx_... lease ids from desktop smoke warmup, so provider overrides do not fail before inspect/run. Thanks @vincentkoc.

• QA/Codex harness: add targeted live Docker/Testbox diagnostics, auth preflight checks, cache mount fixes, and app-server protocol checkout discovery so maintainer harness failures are easier to reproduce. Thanks @vincentkoc.

• Plugins/update: treat official externalized bundled npm migrations and ClawHub-to-npm fallbacks as trusted source-linked installs, so prerelease-only official plugin packages can migrate from bundled builds without being rejected as unsafe prerelease resolutions. Thanks @vincentkoc.

• Plugins/update: move ClawHub-preferred externalized plugin installs back to ClawHub after an earlier npm fallback once the ClawHub package becomes available. Thanks @vincentkoc.

• Plugins/update: clean stale bundled load paths for already-externalized pinned npm and ClawHub plugin installs, so release-channel sync does not leave removed bundled paths ahead of the installed external package. Thanks @vincentkoc.

• Telegram: accept plugin-owned numeric forum-topic targets in the agent message tool and keep reply-dispatch provider chunks behind a real stable runtime alias during in-place package updates. Fixes #77137. Thanks @richardmqq.

• Google Meet: preserve realtime.introMessage: "" so realtime Chrome joins can stay silent instead of restoring the default spoken intro. Thanks @vincentkoc.

• Plugins/SDK: add bounded before_agent_finalize retry instructions so workflow plugins can request one more model pass. Thanks @100yenadmin.

• Discord/status: add degraded Discord transport and gateway event-loop starvation signals to openclaw channels status, openclaw status --deep, and fetch-timeout logs so intermittent socket resets do not look like a healthy running channel. (#76327) Thanks @joshavant.
