Summary

  • Fixes openclaw nodes approve for pending node surfaces that require elevated approval scopes, such as system.run requiring operator.admin.
  • Resolves the pending request first, requests the gateway-advertised or command-derived approval scopes, and keeps the privileged backend approval path limited to node.pair.list and node.pair.approve.
  • Adds regression coverage that normal node commands still use CLI identity while the approval helper rejects unsupported backend methods at runtime.

Verification

  • node scripts/run-vitest.mjs run --config test/vitest/vitest.e2e.config.ts src/cli/program.nodes-basic.e2e.test.ts --reporter=verbose
  • git diff --check
  • AUTOREVIEW_AUTO_TESTS=0 .agents/skills/autoreview/scripts/autoreview --reviewer claude --fallback-reviewer none
  • Live AWS Crabbox proof after the patch: provider aws, lease cbx_33c68aff3b77, run run_83a1f4ee38f2, exit 0.

Real behavior proof

Behavior addressed: openclaw nodes approve <requestId> failed with missing scope: operator.admin for exec-capable pending node surfaces after the 2026.5.18 node surface gate.

Real environment tested: AWS Crabbox from this branch against a live gateway and live node pairing flow.

Exact steps or command run after this patch: provisioned a gateway and node, approved device pairing, confirmed the pending node surface required ["operator.pairing","operator.admin"], ran openclaw nodes approve <requestId> with the gateway token, and inspected pending/paired node state afterward.

Evidence after fix: AWS Crabbox provider aws, lease cbx_33c68aff3b77, run run_83a1f4ee38f2, exit 0; output included requiredApproveScopes=["operator.pairing","operator.admin"], approve_output success with redacted token, pending_after=[], and paired node commands including system.run.

Observed result after fix: the exec-capable pending node surface moved from pending to paired, the CLI device remained pairing-scoped, and node approval completed without manually editing gateway state files.

What was not tested: full cross-platform release CI was not run locally before PR creation; PR CI is expected to cover broader repository gates.

Fixes #84144.

Codex review: needs maintainer review before merge.

Workflow note: Future ClawSweeper reviews update this same comment in place.

How this review workflow works
  • ClawSweeper keeps one durable marker-backed review comment per issue or PR.
  • Re-runs edit this comment so the latest verdict, findings, and automation markers stay together instead of adding duplicate bot comments.
  • A fresh review can be triggered by eligible @clawsweeper re-review comments, exact-item GitHub events, scheduled/background review runs, or manual workflow dispatch.
  • PR/issue authors and users with repository write access can comment @clawsweeper re-review or @clawsweeper re-run on an open PR or issue to request a fresh review only.
  • Maintainers can also comment @clawsweeper review to request a fresh review only.
  • Fresh-review commands do not start repair, autofix, rebase, CI repair, or automerge.
  • Maintainer-only repair and merge flows require explicit commands such as @clawsweeper autofix, @clawsweeper automerge, @clawsweeper fix ci, or @clawsweeper address review.
  • Maintainers can comment @clawsweeper explain to ask for more context, or @clawsweeper stop to stop active automation.

Summary
The PR updates CLI node approval to preflight pending node pairing scopes, call node pair list/approve through a method-limited backend helper with derived scopes, add regression tests, and add a changelog entry.

Reproducibility: yes. source-reproducible. Current main sends nodes approve with only the method-level pairing scope, while the server-side node approval contract requires operator.admin for system.run pending surfaces; I did not run the Multipass reproduction in this read-only review.

PR rating
Overall: 🐚 platinum hermit
Proof: 🦞 diamond lobster
Patch quality: 🐚 platinum hermit
Summary: Strong live proof and focused regression coverage make this a solid PR; the remaining limiter is explicit maintainer acceptance of the auth-boundary change.

Rank-up moves:

  • Maintainer should confirm the backend shared-auth approval path for node.pair.list and node.pair.approve before merge.
What the crustacean ranks mean
  • 🦀 challenger crab: rare, exceptional readiness with strong proof, clean implementation, and convincing validation.
  • 🦞 diamond lobster: very strong readiness with only minor maintainer review expected.
  • 🐚 platinum hermit: good normal PR, likely mergeable with ordinary maintainer review.
  • 🦐 gold shrimp: useful signal, but proof or patch confidence is still limited.
  • 🦪 silver shellfish: thin signal; proof, validation, or implementation needs work.
  • 🧂 unranked krab: not merge-ready because proof is missing/unusable or there are serious correctness or safety concerns.
  • 🌊 off-meta tidepool: rating does not apply to this item.

Shiny media proof means a screenshot, video, or linked artifact directly shows the changed behavior. Runtime, network, CSP, and security claims still need visible diagnostics.

Real behavior proof
Sufficient (live_output): The PR body provides live AWS Crabbox after-fix proof for a real gateway/node pairing flow with requiredApproveScopes=["operator.pairing","operator.admin"] and successful approval.

Risk before merge

  • The PR intentionally lets openclaw nodes approve request derived operator.write or operator.admin scopes under a backend shared-auth client for node.pair.list and node.pair.approve, so maintainers should explicitly accept that trust-boundary choice before merge.
  • The PR has the protected maintainer label, so this should remain a human maintainer decision even though the patch appears correct.

Maintainer options:

  1. Accept the trusted approval path (recommended)
    Merge after a maintainer confirms that gateway-token/shared-auth callers may request the pending node's derived scopes for node.pair.list and node.pair.approve only.
  2. Require an explicit admin path
    If implicit derived admin scopes are too broad, require an explicit admin credential or operator opt-in before the CLI requests admin-scoped node approval.

Next step before merge
No repair lane is needed; the remaining action is maintainer/security-boundary review of the backend shared-auth node approval path before merge.

Security
Cleared: No concrete security or supply-chain regression found; the privileged backend helper is method-limited and tests keep normal node commands on CLI identity, but the boundary change still needs maintainer acceptance.

Review details

Best possible solution:

Land the focused CLI approval fix after maintainer sign-off on the backend shared-auth scope path, keeping non-approval node commands on CLI identity and relying on normal CI for broader coverage.

Do we have a high-confidence way to reproduce the issue?

Yes, source-reproducible. Current main sends nodes approve with only the method-level pairing scope, while the server-side node approval contract requires operator.admin for system.run pending surfaces; I did not run the Multipass reproduction in this read-only review.

Is this the best way to solve the issue?

Yes, with maintainer sign-off. Resolving scopes from the pending request and limiting the backend helper to node pair list/approve is narrower than broadening all node CLI calls and matches the existing agent-tool pattern.

What I checked:

  • Current main CLI gap: openclaw nodes approve currently calls node.pair.approve through the generic CLI RPC helper without resolving the pending request or passing derived approval scopes. (src/cli/nodes-cli/register.pairing.ts:52, a002c416c7af)
  • Server requires scoped session for approval: The gateway approval handler intentionally reads client.connect.scopes and passes them into approveNodePairing, so the caller must request the approval scopes on the WebSocket session. (src/gateway/server-methods/nodes.ts:751, a002c416c7af)
  • Approval scope contract: resolveNodePairApprovalScopes maps system.run-class node commands to operator.pairing plus operator.admin, which explains the reported missing scope: operator.admin failure on current main. (src/infra/node-pairing-authz.ts:13, a002c416c7af)
  • Existing supported pattern: The agent nodes tool already resolves requiredApproveScopes from node.pair.list and passes the resolved scopes to node.pair.approve, so the PR brings the CLI path in line with an existing implementation pattern. (src/agents/tools/nodes-tool.ts:62, a002c416c7af)
  • PR implementation: The branch adds the CLI approval-scope resolver, a method-limited backend RPC helper, focused node CLI regression tests, and a changelog entry across five files. (src/cli/nodes-cli/register.pairing.ts, b95d3b3f450d)
  • Patch sanity: The PR diff has no whitespace errors and changes only the intended CLI, test, and changelog files. (186a0732f33f)

Likely related people:

  • steipete: Introduced the end-to-end node pairing approval scope enforcement and later extracted the shared approval-scope helper used by current main and this PR. (role: feature owner and recent refactor author; confidence: high; commits: ca2fdcc45f36, 01a24c20bfb7, 848e7abb57b3; files: src/infra/node-pairing.ts, src/infra/node-pairing-authz.ts, src/agents/tools/nodes-tool.ts)
  • jacobtomlinson: Authored the commits that restricted node pairing approvals and made node commands unavailable until node pairing is approved, which is the shipped behavior this CLI fix now needs to satisfy. (role: introduced related node pairing gate and approval restriction; confidence: high; commits: 4d7cc6bb4fac, 3886b65ef21d; files: src/gateway/server-methods/nodes.ts, src/gateway/server/ws-connection/message-handler.ts, src/gateway/server.roles-allowlist-update.test.ts)
  • vincentkoc: Recent history shows work on node pairing auth helpers and infra test reuse, making this person a useful adjacent reviewer for gateway pairing test coverage. (role: recent adjacent gateway/node pairing test contributor; confidence: medium; commits: 3cf0dda22a8b, 795e7b2c8f35; files: src/gateway/server.node-pairing-authz.test.ts, src/infra/node-pairing.test.ts)

✨ Hatched: 🥚 common Cosmic Crabkin

Hatch command

Comment @clawsweeper hatch when this PR is hatchable.

Hatchability rules:

  • Merged PRs are hatchable.
  • Open PRs are hatchable when they are status: 👀 ready for maintainer look, status: 🚀 automerge armed, or labeled clawsweeper:automerge.
  • Closed unmerged PRs are hatchable only when one of those hatchable labels is still present in the durable record.

Rarity: 🥚 common.
Trait: sniffs out flaky tests.

Copy: My PR egg hatched a 🥚 common Cosmic Crabkin in ClawSweeper.

What is this egg doing here?
  • Eggs appear after the PR passes real-behavior proof. It is here for vibes, not verdicts: it does not change labels, ratings, merge decisions, or automation.
  • The shell reacts to review momentum: open follow-up work warms it up, re-review makes it wobble, and a clean final review lets it hatch.
  • Hatchability usually comes from sufficient real-behavior proof, no blocking P0/P1/P2 findings, no security attention needed, and clean correctness. A merged PR is already final, so merge makes the egg hatchable independently.
  • The hatch is seeded from this repository and PR number, so the same PR keeps the same creature; the reviewed head SHA can only change safe visual details.
  • Rarity is just collectible sparkle: 🥚 common, 🌱 uncommon, 💎 rare, ✨ glimmer, and 🌈 legendary.

[Compare Source](openclaw/openclaw@v2026.5.19...v2026.5.20)

##### Changes

- Exec approvals: remove the old `cat SKILL.md && printf ... && <skill-wrapper>` allowlist compatibility path so skill files must be loaded with the read tool and only the real skill executable is auto-allowed.
- Discord: let voice sessions follow configured Discord users into voice channels, with allowed-channel checks, multi-user handoff, bounded reconciliation, and DAVE recovery preservation. ([#&#8203;84264](openclaw/openclaw#84264)) Thanks [@&#8203;fuller-stack-dev](https://github.com/fuller-stack-dev).
- Discord/voice: include bounded `IDENTITY.md`, `USER.md`, and `SOUL.md` profile context in realtime voice session instructions by default, with `voice.realtime.bootstrapContextFiles: []` available to disable it. ([#&#8203;84499](openclaw/openclaw#84499)) Thanks [@&#8203;fuller-stack-dev](https://github.com/fuller-stack-dev).
- Dependencies: bump the bundled Codex harness to `@openai/codex` `0.132.0` and refresh the app-server model-list docs for the new catalog.
- CLI/policy: add the bundled Policy plugin for policy-backed channel conformance checks, doctor lint findings, and opt-in workspace repair. ([#&#8203;80407](openclaw/openclaw#80407)) Thanks [@&#8203;giodl73-repo](https://github.com/giodl73-repo).
- Agents/config: allow `agents.list[].experimental.localModelLean` so lean local-model mode can be enabled for one configured agent instead of globally.
- Providers/xAI: add device-code OAuth login so remote and headless setups can authorize xAI without a localhost browser callback. ([#&#8203;84005](openclaw/openclaw#84005)) Thanks [@&#8203;fuller-stack-dev](https://github.com/fuller-stack-dev).
- Providers/OpenRouter: honor provider-level `params.provider` routing policy for OpenRouter requests, with model and agent params overriding the defaults. Thanks [@&#8203;amknight](https://github.com/amknight).

##### Fixes

- CLI/tasks: include stale-running task maintenance decisions in `openclaw tasks maintenance --json` so retained and reconcile candidates explain backing-session, cron, CLI, and wedged-subagent state. ([#&#8203;84691](openclaw/openclaw#84691)) Thanks [@&#8203;efpiva](https://github.com/efpiva).
- Codex app-server: keep system-prompt reports working when bootstrap hooks provide workspace files with only a path and content, so hook-supplied SOUL/IDENTITY/TOOLS/USER context still reports injected characters correctly. ([#&#8203;84736](openclaw/openclaw#84736)) Thanks [@&#8203;JARVIS-Glasses](https://github.com/JARVIS-Glasses).
- Providers/MiniMax music: stop advertising `durationSeconds` control and remove prompt-injected duration hints, so `music_generate` reports MiniMax duration as an unsupported override instead of suggesting MiniMax can enforce track length. Fixes [#&#8203;84508](openclaw/openclaw#84508). Thanks [@&#8203;neeravmakwana](https://github.com/neeravmakwana).
- Doctor: warn when sandbox tool policy hides configured MCP server tools before provider requests. ([#&#8203;84699](openclaw/openclaw#84699)) Thanks [@&#8203;nxmxbbd](https://github.com/nxmxbbd).
- WhatsApp: update Baileys to `7.0.0-rc12`.
- Build: suppress per-locale `rolldown-plugin-dts:fake-js` CommonJS dts warnings emitted while bundling the intentionally-inlined `zod/v4/locales/*.d.cts` files, so `pnpm build` output stays readable after the 0.25.1 plugin bump. Thanks [@&#8203;romneyda](https://github.com/romneyda).
- CLI/nodes: route lazy plugin-registration logs to stderr for JSON-mode `openclaw nodes` commands so stdout stays parseable. ([#&#8203;84684](openclaw/openclaw#84684)) Thanks [@&#8203;TurboTheTurtle](https://github.com/TurboTheTurtle).
- Approvals: route manual `/approve` decisions through the trusted approval runtime so active exec and plugin approvals no longer look unknown or expired.
- Mac app: update the About settings copyright year to 2026. ([#&#8203;84385](openclaw/openclaw#84385)) Thanks [@&#8203;pejmanjohn](https://github.com/pejmanjohn).
- Dependencies: update `@openclaw/fs-safe` to `0.2.7` so OpenClaw's default Python-helper-off policy keeps best-effort Node write fallbacks for private stores, secret writes, run logs, and media attachments on Linux/macOS.
- Infra/secrets: restore the fail-closed contract for `tryReadSecretFileSync` so credential loaders that pass `rejectSymlink: true` (Telegram, LINE, Zalo, IRC, Nextcloud Talk tokens) refuse symlinked credential files instead of silently accepting them, and the infra-state CI shard's secret-file symlink test passes again. Thanks [@&#8203;romneyda](https://github.com/romneyda).
- Browser: honor the configured image sanitization limit for screenshots and labeled snapshots so browser-captured images follow the same resize policy as other image results. ([#&#8203;84595](openclaw/openclaw#84595))
- Doctor: remove unrecognized `models.providers.*.models[*].compat.thinkingFormat` values during `doctor --fix` so stale provider model config can validate after upgrade. Fixes [#&#8203;77803](openclaw/openclaw#77803).
- Doctor: warn when `openclaw.json` stores plaintext secret-bearing config fields, including model provider API keys and sensitive provider headers. ([#&#8203;84718](openclaw/openclaw#84718)) Thanks [@&#8203;lukaIvanic](https://github.com/lukaIvanic).
- Status: show the configured default, session-selected model, reason, clear hint, and docs link when a session remains pinned to a model that differs from `agents.defaults.model.primary`.
- WebChat: clear stale typing indicators when session change events mark the active chat run complete.
- Mac app: keep local packaging signed with a stable app identity for permission testing and fix Control UI production builds under current Vite/Highlight.js exports.
- macOS app: update the embedded Peekaboo bridge to 3.2.1 so OpenClaw-hosted UI automation works with current Peekaboo CLI capture flows.
- Cron: deliver preferred final assistant output for successful scheduled runs when trailing plain tool warnings remain in diagnostics instead of marking the run failed.
- fix(mattermost): fail closed on missing channel type \[AI]. ([#&#8203;84091](openclaw/openclaw#84091)) Thanks [@&#8203;pgondhi987](https://github.com/pgondhi987).
- Recheck rebuilt system.run argv \[AI]. ([#&#8203;84090](openclaw/openclaw#84090)) Thanks [@&#8203;pgondhi987](https://github.com/pgondhi987).
- CLI: keep the private QA subcommand out of exported command descriptors unless `OPENCLAW_ENABLE_PRIVATE_QA_CLI=1`, so root help and subcommand markers match runtime registration. ([#&#8203;84519](openclaw/openclaw#84519))
- CLI/cron: bound `openclaw cron show` job lookup pagination so non-advancing or unbounded `cron.list` responses fail instead of hanging the command. Fixes [#&#8203;83856](openclaw/openclaw#83856). ([#&#8203;83989](openclaw/openclaw#83989))
- Agents/messages: stop message-tool-only turns after a successful source-channel `message` send while keeping transcript mirrors under the session write lock. ([#&#8203;84289](openclaw/openclaw#84289))
- Agents: filter silent heartbeat response-tool transcript artifacts out of embedded context snapshots so later user turns are not polluted by heartbeat no-op messages. ([#&#8203;83477](openclaw/openclaw#83477)) Thanks [@&#8203;fuller-stack-dev](https://github.com/fuller-stack-dev).
- Agents/OpenAI: log repeated strict tool-schema downgrade diagnostics once per provider/model/tool signature, reducing duplicate debug noise while preserving `strict=false` fallback behavior. Fixes [#&#8203;82930](openclaw/openclaw#82930). ([#&#8203;82933](openclaw/openclaw#82933)) Thanks [@&#8203;galiniliev](https://github.com/galiniliev).
- Agents/code mode: spell out the `exec` tool's JavaScript/TypeScript, no Node module, and catalog-bridge constraints in model-visible schema text so agents can use enabled tools without trial-and-error. ([#&#8203;84269](openclaw/openclaw#84269)) Thanks [@&#8203;Kaspre](https://github.com/Kaspre).
- Codex: give `image_generate` dynamic-tool calls a 120s default watchdog when no per-call or configured image timeout is set, so image generation no longer falls back to the generic 30s bridge timeout. ([#&#8203;84254](openclaw/openclaw#84254)) Thanks [@&#8203;moritzmmayerhofer](https://github.com/moritzmmayerhofer).
- Codex: avoid duplicate dynamic tool terminal diagnostics while large diagnostic backlogs drain without blocking tool responses. ([#&#8203;82937](openclaw/openclaw#82937)) Thanks [@&#8203;galiniliev](https://github.com/galiniliev).
- CLI/message: include a stable top-level `messageId` in `openclaw message --json` output when channel sends return one. ([#&#8203;84191](openclaw/openclaw#84191)) Thanks [@&#8203;100menotu001](https://github.com/100menotu001).
- Cron: preserve legacy top-level array `jobs.json` stores when loading or adding scheduled jobs so old cron jobs are no longer treated as an empty store during upgrade. Fixes [#&#8203;60799](openclaw/openclaw#60799). ([#&#8203;84433](openclaw/openclaw#84433)) Thanks [@&#8203;IWhatsskill](https://github.com/IWhatsskill).
- Gateway/agents: use an agent's `identity.name` in Gateway agent summaries when `agents.list[].name` is unset, so configured agent labels remain visible in clients. ([#&#8203;84355](openclaw/openclaw#84355); refs [#&#8203;57835](openclaw/openclaw#57835)) Thanks [@&#8203;luoyanglang](https://github.com/luoyanglang).
- Channels/replies: keep normal `/verbose` failed-tool progress compact in message-tool replies and prevent late text-only tool output from appearing after the final answer. ([#&#8203;84303](openclaw/openclaw#84303)) Thanks [@&#8203;VACInc](https://github.com/VACInc).
- Plugins/hooks: apply a default 30-second timeout to `before_compaction` and `after_compaction` hooks so a hung plugin handler no longer blocks compaction completion. ([#&#8203;84153](openclaw/openclaw#84153))
- Discord: preserve disabled presentation buttons when adapting and rendering Discord message controls. ([#&#8203;84188](openclaw/openclaw#84188)) Thanks [@&#8203;100menotu001](https://github.com/100menotu001).
- Twitch: add a test-only client-manager registry reset helper so non-isolated Twitch tests can clear cached managers between cases. Fixes [#&#8203;83887](openclaw/openclaw#83887). ([#&#8203;84244](openclaw/openclaw#84244)) Thanks [@&#8203;hclsys](https://github.com/hclsys).
- Cron: run main-session scheduled work on a cron-owned wake lane while preserving reply delivery context, so background cron turns no longer block human main-session chat. Fixes [#&#8203;82766](openclaw/openclaw#82766). ([#&#8203;82767](openclaw/openclaw#82767)) Thanks [@&#8203;galiniliev](https://github.com/galiniliev).
- Cron: use structured embedded-run denial metadata for isolated scheduled tasks so blocked exec requests fail the job without treating ordinary assistant prose as a denial. ([#&#8203;84067](openclaw/openclaw#84067)) Thanks [@&#8203;abnershang](https://github.com/abnershang).
- Cron: keep recovered tool warnings diagnostic for successful scheduled runs so final cron output is delivered instead of being replaced by a post-processing warning. ([#&#8203;84045](openclaw/openclaw#84045)) Thanks [@&#8203;abnershang](https://github.com/abnershang).
- Plugins/perf: thread explicit plugin discovery results through `loadBundledCapabilityRuntimeRegistry`, `resolveBundledPluginSources`, and `listChannelCatalogEntries` so callers that already hold a discovery result skip redundant filesystem walks. Thanks [@&#8203;SebTardif](https://github.com/SebTardif).
- harden update restart script creation \[AI]. ([#&#8203;84088](openclaw/openclaw#84088)) Thanks [@&#8203;pgondhi987](https://github.com/pgondhi987).
- Docker: keep the bundled Codex plugin in official release image keep lists so the default OpenAI agent harness remains available after Docker pruning. Fixes [#&#8203;83613](openclaw/openclaw#83613). ([#&#8203;83626](openclaw/openclaw#83626)) Thanks [@&#8203;YuanHanzhong](https://github.com/YuanHanzhong).
- CLI/channels: preserve the first line of `openclaw channels logs` output when the rolling tail window starts exactly on a line boundary, mirroring the already-fixed `readLogSlice` behavior in `src/logging/log-tail.ts`.
- Control UI: treat terminal session status as authoritative over stale active-run flags so completed terminal runs stop showing abort/live UI. ([#&#8203;84057](openclaw/openclaw#84057))
- CLI: preserve embedded equals signs in inline root option values instead of truncating after the second separator. ([#&#8203;83995](openclaw/openclaw#83995)) Thanks [@&#8203;ThiagoCAltoe](https://github.com/ThiagoCAltoe).
- Matrix/config: accept `messages.queue.byChannel.matrix` queue overrides and keep queue provider schema/type keys aligned for Matrix, Google Chat, and Mattermost. Thanks [@&#8203;bdjben](https://github.com/bdjben).
- CLI: format `openclaw acp client` failures through the shared error formatter so object-shaped errors stay readable instead of printing `[object Object]`. Fixes [#&#8203;83904](openclaw/openclaw#83904). ([#&#8203;84080](openclaw/openclaw#84080))
- Providers/Ollama: default unknown-capabilities models to tool-capable so discovered native Ollama models can use tools when `/api/show` omits capabilities. ([#&#8203;84055](openclaw/openclaw#84055)) Thanks [@&#8203;dutifulbob](https://github.com/dutifulbob).
- Installer/Windows: launch `install.ps1` onboarding as an attached child process so fresh native Windows installs do not freeze visibly at `Starting setup...` or corrupt the wizard's terminal rendering.
- CLI/update: keep restart health checks working across one-version CLI/Gateway protocol skew and use the managed Gateway service Node for all follow-up commands even when the package root is unchanged, so `openclaw update` no longer silently switches the gateway to a different Node binary when multiple Node installations are present. Thanks [@&#8203;amknight](https://github.com/amknight).
- CLI/gateway: include the running Gateway version in `gateway status` JSON output, preserving existing server metadata while falling back to status RPC data for read probes. Fixes [#&#8203;56222](openclaw/openclaw#56222). Thanks [@&#8203;galiniliev](https://github.com/galiniliev).
- Memory/search: close local embedding providers when active-memory searches time out so pending local model loads and embedding contexts are aborted and released. ([#&#8203;83858](openclaw/openclaw#83858)) Thanks [@&#8203;brokemac79](https://github.com/brokemac79).
- CLI/nodes: request pending node surface approval scopes before `openclaw nodes approve` so exec-capable node approval can use admin-scoped Gateway credentials instead of failing with `missing scope: operator.admin`. ([#&#8203;84392](openclaw/openclaw#84392)) Thanks [@&#8203;joshavant](https://github.com/joshavant).
- Gateway: reject slow node event sends before outbound buffers grow unbounded and log the rejected payload diagnostic. ([#&#8203;84387](openclaw/openclaw#84387)) Thanks [@&#8203;samzong](https://github.com/samzong).
- Agents: include bounded trajectory queued-writer diagnostics in `pi-trajectory-flush` timeout warnings so flush stalls show pending writes, queued bytes, and append state. Fixes [#&#8203;82961](openclaw/openclaw#82961). ([#&#8203;82962](openclaw/openclaw#82962)) Thanks [@&#8203;galiniliev](https://github.com/galiniliev).
- Agents/subagents: recover stale completion announces by retrying unsupported transcript-wait wakes without transcript waiting and forcing a message-tool handoff when the requester run is already stale. Fixes [#&#8203;83699](openclaw/openclaw#83699). ([#&#8203;83700](openclaw/openclaw#83700)) Thanks [@&#8203;galiniliev](https://github.com/galiniliev).
- Agents/subagents: constrain wildcard subagent target allowlists to configured agents while preserving explicitly listed compatibility targets. Fixes [#&#8203;84040](openclaw/openclaw#84040). ([#&#8203;84357](openclaw/openclaw#84357)) Thanks [@&#8203;joshavant](https://github.com/joshavant).
- Providers/Anthropic: route Anthropic model refs selected with Claude CLI auth through the Claude CLI runtime so shorthand refs such as `anthropic/opus-4.7` no longer fall back to embedded Anthropic billing. Fixes [#&#8203;84222](openclaw/openclaw#84222). ([#&#8203;84374](openclaw/openclaw#84374)) Thanks [@&#8203;joshavant](https://github.com/joshavant).
- Agents: honor explicit `models.providers.<id>.timeoutSeconds` values above the default idle watchdog for cloud and self-hosted providers, so long first-token waits no longer fall back at \~120s when the provider timeout is higher. ([#&#8203;83979](openclaw/openclaw#83979)) Thanks [@&#8203;yujiawei](https://github.com/yujiawei).
- Agents/Codex: keep encrypted Responses reasoning replay provenance-bound so stale mirrored Codex transcripts drop invalid encrypted content before request assembly while preserving matching same-session replay. Fixes [#&#8203;83836](openclaw/openclaw#83836). ([#&#8203;84367](openclaw/openclaw#84367)) Thanks [@&#8203;joshavant](https://github.com/joshavant).
- Agents/subagents: skip stale embedded-run wake probes for dormant completion requesters, so late subagent completions go straight to requester-agent/direct handoff instead of producing `reason=no_active_run` queue noise. ([#&#8203;82964](openclaw/openclaw#82964)) Thanks [@&#8203;galiniliev](https://github.com/galiniliev).
- CLI: retry config snapshot reads after a transient failure so one rejected read no longer poisons later commands in the same process. ([#&#8203;83931](openclaw/openclaw#83931)) Thanks [@&#8203;honor2030](https://github.com/honor2030).
- Media: decode URL path basenames before using them as remote media fallback filenames, so files like `My%20Report.pdf` are surfaced as `My Report.pdf`. Fixes [#&#8203;84050](openclaw/openclaw#84050). ([#&#8203;84052](openclaw/openclaw#84052)) Thanks [@&#8203;jbetala7](https://github.com/jbetala7).
- WhatsApp: clarify inbound group diagnostics so observed but unregistered groups point to `channels.whatsapp.groups` without changing routing or sender authorization. ([#&#8203;83846](openclaw/openclaw#83846)) Thanks [@&#8203;neeravmakwana](https://github.com/neeravmakwana).
- WhatsApp: drain pending outbound deliveries on a 30s periodic timer in addition to the reconnect handler, so messages enqueued while the provider is already connected no longer wait for the next reconnect to send. ([#&#8203;79083](openclaw/openclaw#79083)) Thanks [@&#8203;Oviemudiaga](https://github.com/Oviemudiaga).
- CLI/TUI: include gateway plugin slash commands in TUI autocomplete, so connected sessions can suggest plugin-owned commands exposed by the running Gateway. ([#&#8203;83640](openclaw/openclaw#83640)) Thanks [@&#8203;se7en-agent](https://github.com/se7en-agent).
- Gateway/mobile: restore QR setup-code handoff of bounded operator tokens for iOS and Android onboarding while keeping admin and pairing scopes out of bootstrap. ([#&#8203;83684](openclaw/openclaw#83684)) Thanks [@&#8203;ngutman](https://github.com/ngutman).
- iOS: repair Release archive compilation for the TestFlight build. ([#&#8203;84255](openclaw/openclaw#84255)) Thanks [@&#8203;ngutman](https://github.com/ngutman).
- Agents/compaction: bound plugin-owned CLI transcript compaction with the host safety timeout so a hung context engine can no longer stall post-turn cleanup. ([#&#8203;84083](openclaw/openclaw#84083)) Thanks [@&#8203;100yenadmin](https://github.com/100yenadmin).
- Control UI/usage: truncate long context skill, tool, and file names in the usage panel while keeping the full name available on hover. ([#&#8203;42197](openclaw/openclaw#42197)) Thanks [@&#8203;Rain120](https://github.com/Rain120).
- Codex: respect explicit `models auth order set` and `config.auth.order` precedence over stale `lastGood` in `/codex account`, and show `no working credential` when every explicit-order profile is ineligible instead of marking a lower-ranked profile as active. Fixes [#&#8203;84386](openclaw/openclaw#84386). ([#&#8203;84412](openclaw/openclaw#84412)) Thanks [@&#8203;openperf](https://github.com/openperf).
- Agents: honor `messages.suppressToolErrors` for mutating tool failures so configured chat surfaces do not receive separate warning payloads. ([#&#8203;81561](openclaw/openclaw#81561)) Thanks [@&#8203;moeedahmed](https://github.com/moeedahmed).
- Agents/fallback: surface billing guidance for mixed rate-limit plus billing fallback exhaustion instead of generic failure copy. Fixes [#&#8203;79396](openclaw/openclaw#79396). ([#&#8203;79489](openclaw/openclaw#79489)) Thanks [@&#8203;aayushprsingh](https://github.com/aayushprsingh).
