fix: constrain Windows task script names [AI] by pgondhi987 · Pull Request #85064 · openclaw/openclaw

pgondhi987 · 2026-05-21T18:46:31Z

Summary

Problem: Windows task script names from environment configuration were accepted as path-like values before being joined under the gateway state directory.
Solution: Require OPENCLAW_TASK_SCRIPT_NAME to be a bare file name before constructing the task script path.
What changed: Added validation for separators and traversal markers, plus regression coverage for rejected path-like names.
What did NOT change (scope boundary): Explicit OPENCLAW_TASK_SCRIPT full-path overrides remain unchanged.

AI-assisted change.

Motivation

Keep generated Windows task scripts constrained to the intended state directory when using the script-name configuration path.

Linked Issue/PR

Related: N/A
This PR addresses a bug or regression

Real behavior proof (required for external PRs)

Behavior addressed: Path-like task script names are rejected before the scheduled-task script path is resolved.
Real environment tested: Not tested in a live Windows setup.
Exact steps or command run after this patch: node scripts/run-vitest.mjs src/daemon/schtasks.test.ts
Evidence after fix: src/daemon/schtasks.test.ts passed with 29 tests.
Observed result after fix: Bare file names still resolve under the state directory; names containing /, \\, or .. throw before path construction.
What was not tested: Live Windows scheduled-task installation or startup behavior.
Before evidence: N/A

Root Cause (if applicable)

Root cause: OPENCLAW_TASK_SCRIPT_NAME was trimmed and joined with the state directory without first checking that it was only a file name.
Missing detection / guardrail: There was no regression coverage for path-like task script names.
Contributing context (if known): N/A

Regression Test Plan (if applicable)

Coverage level that should have caught this:
- Unit test
- Seam / integration test
- End-to-end test
- Existing coverage already sufficient
Target test or file: src/daemon/schtasks.test.ts
Scenario the test should lock in: Accept a bare custom script file name and reject path-like script names.
Why this is the smallest reliable guardrail: resolveTaskScriptPath() owns the path construction decision directly.
Existing test that already covers this (if any): Existing path resolution tests covered defaults and state directory selection, but not path-like script names.
If no new test is added, why not: N/A

User-visible / Behavior Changes

OPENCLAW_TASK_SCRIPT_NAME now accepts file names only. Existing explicit OPENCLAW_TASK_SCRIPT path overrides are unchanged.

Diagram (if applicable)

Before:
OPENCLAW_TASK_SCRIPT_NAME -> path.join(stateDir, value)

After:
OPENCLAW_TASK_SCRIPT_NAME -> validate bare file name -> path.join(stateDir, value)

Security Impact (required)

New permissions/capabilities? (Yes/No) No
Secrets/tokens handling changed? (Yes/No) No
New/changed network calls? (Yes/No) No
Command/tool execution surface changed? (Yes/No) Yes
Data access scope changed? (Yes/No) No
If any Yes, explain risk + mitigation: The Windows scheduled-task script-name path now rejects path-like input before the script path is built, reducing the writable path surface for generated task scripts.

Repro + Verification

Environment

OS: Linux test environment
Runtime/container: Node test wrapper
Model/provider: N/A
Integration/channel (if any): N/A
Relevant config (redacted): OPENCLAW_TASK_SCRIPT_NAME

Steps

Set OPENCLAW_TASK_SCRIPT_NAME to a path-like value such as ../gateway.cmd.
Resolve the Windows scheduled-task script path through resolveTaskScriptPath().
Run the focused daemon test file.

Expected

Path-like script names are rejected.
Bare script file names still resolve under the gateway state directory.

Actual

Focused tests passed and covered both accepted and rejected script-name values.

Evidence

Failing test/log before + passing after
Trace/log snippets
Screenshot/recording
Perf numbers (if relevant)

Human Verification (required)

What you personally verified (not just CI), and how:

Verified scenarios: Default task script path, custom bare file name, and path-like names containing separators or traversal markers.
Edge cases checked: Forward slash, backslash, parent traversal, nested path segments, and .. inside the file name.
What you did not verify: Live Windows scheduled-task installation.

Review Conversations

I replied to or resolved every bot review conversation I addressed in this PR.
I left unresolved only the conversations that still need reviewer or maintainer judgment.

Compatibility / Migration

Backward compatible? (Yes/No) Yes for valid bare file names and explicit full-path overrides
Config/env changes? (Yes/No) Yes
Migration needed? (Yes/No) No
If yes, exact upgrade steps: Use OPENCLAW_TASK_SCRIPT_NAME only for a file name. Use OPENCLAW_TASK_SCRIPT when an explicit path override is required.

Risks and Mitigations

Risk: Existing local configurations may have used OPENCLAW_TASK_SCRIPT_NAME as a relative path.
- Mitigation: The explicit OPENCLAW_TASK_SCRIPT override remains available for path-based configuration.

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 adds validation to resolveTaskScriptPath() so OPENCLAW_TASK_SCRIPT_NAME is treated as a bare filename, plus schtasks regression coverage for accepted and rejected names.

Reproducibility: yes. for the source-level issue: current main joins OPENCLAW_TASK_SCRIPT_NAME under the state directory without proving it is only a filename. I did not establish a live Windows scheduled-task reproduction in this read-only review.

PR rating
Overall: 🦪 silver shellfish
Proof: 🦪 silver shellfish
Patch quality: 🦐 gold shrimp
Summary: The patch targets the right boundary, but mock-only proof and an overbroad filename guard keep it below merge-ready quality.

Rank-up moves:

Replace substring .. rejection with segment-aware filename validation and add a legal dotted-name regression test.
Add redacted real Windows proof for rejected path-like names and the unchanged OPENCLAW_TASK_SCRIPT full-path override.

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
Needs real behavior proof before merge: The PR body provides only focused Vitest output and explicitly says no live Windows setup was tested; add redacted Windows terminal/log/screenshot proof and update the PR body to trigger re-review, or ask a maintainer to comment @clawsweeper re-review.

Risk before merge

Merging this as written can reject existing valid bare filenames such as gateway..cmd, which is broader than the stated filename-only boundary.
The PR intentionally changes env-config behavior, so maintainers should explicitly accept path-like OPENCLAW_TASK_SCRIPT_NAME values failing in favor of OPENCLAW_TASK_SCRIPT.
The contributor proof is unit-test only and does not show a real Windows scheduled-task or startup-path run after the change.

Maintainer options:

Narrow the filename guard first (recommended)
Reject path separators and ./.. path segments without banning legal dotted bare filenames, then require Windows proof for the changed env behavior.
Accept the stricter env contract
Maintainers can intentionally ban any .. substring, but that should be an explicit compatibility decision with migration guidance to OPENCLAW_TASK_SCRIPT.
Pause until Windows proof is available
Hold the PR until the contributor shows redacted live Windows output for a rejected path-like name and the unchanged full-path override.

Next step before merge
Needs contributor Windows proof plus maintainer handling for the compatibility-sensitive env contract; this should not queue a repair marker while the external proof gate is mock-only.

Security
Cleared: The diff narrows a security-sensitive Windows task-script write path and does not add new dependencies, permissions, secret handling, network calls, or supply-chain execution.

Review findings

[P2] Preserve legal dotted filenames — src/daemon/schtasks.ts:53

Review details

Best possible solution:

Land a segment-aware filename-only guard that rejects separators and ./.. path segments, preserves legal dotted filenames and the full-path override, and includes redacted Windows proof.

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

Yes for the source-level issue: current main joins OPENCLAW_TASK_SCRIPT_NAME under the state directory without proving it is only a filename. I did not establish a live Windows scheduled-task reproduction in this read-only review.

Is this the best way to solve the issue?

No, not as written: the filename-only direction is right, but substring matching .. is broader than the security boundary requires. A segment-aware guard plus proof for the unchanged OPENCLAW_TASK_SCRIPT override is safer.

Full review comments:

[P2] Preserve legal dotted filenames — src/daemon/schtasks.ts:53
The new guard rejects any .. substring, so OPENCLAW_TASK_SCRIPT_NAME=gateway..cmd throws even though it is a single filename and stays under the state directory. Please reject separators and ./.. path segments rather than every dotted filename, and keep coverage for a legal dotted name.
Confidence: 0.88

Overall correctness: patch is incorrect
Overall confidence: 0.86

What I checked:

Current main path construction: Current main trims OPENCLAW_TASK_SCRIPT_NAME and passes it directly into path.join(stateDir, scriptName) when OPENCLAW_TASK_SCRIPT is absent. (src/daemon/schtasks.ts:47, ebd8b00cc318)
Write surface: The resolved task script path is used to create the parent directory and write the generated task script, so this name controls the Windows task script write location. (src/daemon/schtasks.ts:657, ebd8b00cc318)
Documented intended location: The Windows gateway docs describe the fallback launcher as pointing at gateway.cmd inside the state directory, supporting a filename-only boundary for generated scripts. Public docs: docs/gateway/index.md. (docs/gateway/index.md:277, ebd8b00cc318)
PR guard remains overbroad: The live PR diff rejects /, \, or any .. substring and explicitly treats gateway..cmd as invalid, even though that is a single bare filename. (src/daemon/schtasks.ts:53, e11d6deaba67)
Path semantics check: A focused Node path.win32.join probe showed gateway..cmd stays under the state directory while .. and ../gateway.cmd escape to the parent, so validation should be segment-aware rather than substring-based.
Proof gate: The PR body reports only node scripts/run-vitest.mjs src/daemon/schtasks.test.ts and explicitly says a live Windows setup was not tested. (e11d6deaba67)

Risk before merge

The PR intentionally changes an env-config path, so maintainers should explicitly accept breaking path-like OPENCLAW_TASK_SCRIPT_NAME values in favor of OPENCLAW_TASK_SCRIPT.

The current regex rejects legal bare filenames containing .., which can break more configurations than the stated filename-only boundary requires.

The PR body reports only focused Vitest proof, not a real Windows scheduled-task or startup-path run after the change.

Maintainer options:

Narrow the filename guard before merge (recommended)
Require validation that rejects path segments and separators without banning legal dotted bare filenames, then ask for real Windows proof of the changed env behavior.

Accept a stricter env contract explicitly
Maintainers could intentionally reject any .. substring, but that should be an explicit compatibility decision with migration guidance to OPENCLAW_TASK_SCRIPT.

Next step before merge
Needs contributor real Windows proof and maintainer handling for the compatibility-sensitive filename contract; ClawSweeper should not queue a repair marker while the external proof gate is mock-only.

Security
Cleared: The diff touches a security-sensitive Windows task-script path, but I found no new supply-chain, permission, secret-handling, or code-execution expansion beyond the overbroad compatibility guard noted separately.

Review findings

[P2] Preserve legal bare filenames with double dots — src/daemon/schtasks.ts:53

Review details

Best possible solution:

Land a segment-aware filename-only guard that rejects separators and ./.. path segments, preserves legal bare filenames and the full-path override, and includes Windows upgrade proof.

Yes, from source inspection: current main joins OPENCLAW_TASK_SCRIPT_NAME under the state directory without first proving it is only a filename. I did not run a live Windows install during this read-only review.

Is this the best way to solve the issue?

No, not as written: the filename-only direction is right, but substring matching .. is broader than the security boundary requires. The safer fix is segment-aware validation plus explicit proof that full-path users can keep using OPENCLAW_TASK_SCRIPT.

Acceptance criteria:

node scripts/run-vitest.mjs src/daemon/schtasks.test.ts

Real Windows proof: set OPENCLAW_TASK_SCRIPT_NAME to a path-like value and confirm the gateway task script path fails closed; set OPENCLAW_TASK_SCRIPT to a full path and confirm that override still works.

What I checked:

Current main path construction: resolveTaskScriptPath() currently trims OPENCLAW_TASK_SCRIPT_NAME and passes it directly to path.join(stateDir, scriptName) when the full OPENCLAW_TASK_SCRIPT override is absent. (src/daemon/schtasks.ts:47, b25a0d013b64)

Write surface: The resolved task script path is used for fs.mkdir(path.dirname(scriptPath)) and fs.writeFile(scriptPath, script, "utf8"), so the name resolution controls where the generated Windows task script is written. (src/daemon/schtasks.ts:645, b25a0d013b64)

Documented intended location: The Windows gateway docs describe the fallback launcher as pointing at gateway.cmd inside the state directory, supporting the file-name-only boundary for generated scripts. Public docs: docs/gateway/index.md. (docs/gateway/index.md:280, b25a0d013b64)

Current coverage gap: Current main covers default/profile/state-dir resolution, but has no custom OPENCLAW_TASK_SCRIPT_NAME acceptance or rejection cases before this PR. (src/daemon/schtasks.test.ts:126, b25a0d013b64)

PR validation behavior: The proposed source change rejects any /, \, or .. substring; the proposed test suite explicitly rejects gateway..cmd, which is a single bare filename rather than a traversal path. (src/daemon/schtasks.ts:53, b4c1a551b96b)

Path behavior check: A focused Node path probe showed path.win32.join('C:\\Users\\test\\.openclaw', 'gateway..cmd') stays under the state directory while '..' escapes to the parent, so validation needs path-segment semantics rather than substring matching.

Likely related people:

Shakker: The central resolveTaskScriptPath() lines and related OPENCLAW_TASK_SCRIPT_NAME occurrences blame to Shakker's commit in the available current-main history.

Thanks [@BobDu](https://github.com/BobDu), [@alitariksahin](https://github.com/alitariksahin), [@Jefsky](https://github.com/Jefsky), [@musaabhasan](https://github.com/musaabhasan), [@OmerZeyveli](https://github.com/OmerZeyveli), [@leno23](https://github.com/leno23), [@WuKongAI-CMU](https://github.com/WuKongAI-CMU), [@luoyanglang](https://github.com/luoyanglang), and [@majin1102](https://github.com/majin1102). - Docs: clarify media provider credentials, Codex/OpenClaw code-mode boundaries, Slack and Telegram ack reactions, Feishu dynamic agents, secrets plaintext boundaries, memory guidance, and Chinese glossary terms. Thanks [@nielskaspers](https://github.com/nielskaspers), [@cosmopolitan033](https://github.com/cosmopolitan033), [@drclaw-iq](https://github.com/drclaw-iq), [@alexgduarte](https://github.com/alexgduarte), [@zccyman](https://github.com/zccyman), [@chengoak](https://github.com/chengoak), and [@cassthebandit](https://github.com/cassthebandit). - Packaging: exclude documentation images and assets from the npm tarball, reducing published package size without affecting runtime docs search or CLI behavior. Thanks [@SebTardif](https://github.com/SebTardif). - Media understanding: stop auto-probing Gemini CLI and use Antigravity CLI only as a lower-priority image/video fallback after configured provider APIs. - Agents/subagents: limit default sub-agent bootstrap context to `AGENTS.md` and `TOOLS.md`, keeping persona, identity, user, memory, heartbeat, and setup files out of delegated workers by default. ([#85283](https://github.com/openclaw/openclaw/issues/85283)) Thanks [@100yenadmin](https://github.com/100yenadmin). - Maintainer skills: exclude plugin SDK/API boundary work from `openclaw-landable-bug-sweep` so bugbash sweeps stay focused on small paper-cut fixes. - QA-Lab/diagnostics: extend the OpenTelemetry smoke harness to prove trace, metric, and log export, and add first-class Prometheus and observability smoke aliases. - Plugin SDK: add a generic channel-message poll sender so channel plugins can expose poll delivery without depending on channel-specific SDK facades. - Crabbox: keep the local wrapper's provider validation synced with the installed Crabbox binary while preserving supported aliases such as `docker` and `blacksmith`. ([#85302](https://github.com/openclaw/openclaw/issues/85302)) Thanks [@hxy91819](https://github.com/hxy91819). - Maintainer skills: add `openclaw-landable-bug-sweep` for producing five small, reviewed, CI-green OpenClaw bugfix PRs from issue/PR sweeps. - Control UI/chat: add search and Load More pagination to the chat session picker, keeping initial session loads bounded while making older conversations reachable. ([#85237](https://github.com/openclaw/openclaw/issues/85237)) Thanks [@amknight](https://github.com/amknight). - CLI/onboarding: start classic onboarding when bare `openclaw` runs before an authored config exists, while keeping configured installs on Crestodian. ([#72343](https://github.com/openclaw/openclaw/issues/72343)) Thanks [@fuller-stack-dev](https://github.com/fuller-stack-dev). - Discord: allow configuring a bounded `agentComponents.ttlMs` callback registry lifetime for long-running component workflows, with per-account overrides and a 24-hour cap. ([#84189](https://github.com/openclaw/openclaw/issues/84189)) Thanks [@100menotu001](https://github.com/100menotu001). - xAI/Grok: reuse xAI OAuth auth profiles for Grok `web_search`, thread active-agent auth through web search, add Grok model aliases, and let media providers declare default operation timeouts. ([#85182](https://github.com/openclaw/openclaw/issues/85182)) Thanks [@fuller-stack-dev](https://github.com/fuller-stack-dev). - Plugin SDK: add row-level session workflow helpers and deprecate `loadSessionStore` so plugins can read and patch sessions without depending on the legacy whole-store shape. ([#84693](https://github.com/openclaw/openclaw/issues/84693)) Thanks [@efpiva](https://github.com/efpiva). - Gateway/plugins: reuse a compatible Gateway startup plugin registry during dispatch so safe plugin dispatches avoid redundant registry loading. ([#84324](https://github.com/openclaw/openclaw/issues/84324)) Thanks [@ai-hpc](https://github.com/ai-hpc). - Plugins/SDK: add a general `embeddingProviders` capability contract and registration API so embeddings can become a reusable provider surface outside memory-specific adapters. - Dependencies: refresh provider, plugin, UI, and tooling packages, update `protobufjs` to 8.4.0 to clear the current npm advisory, and carry the Claude ACP completion patch forward to `@agentclientprotocol/claude-agent-acp` 0.36.1. - Agents/tools: remove the old sender-owner tool gating path so configured tools stay visible for trusted sessions while command and channel-action auth still carry real sender identity. - QA-Lab: add curated mock JSONL replay fixtures and first-drift reporting for runtime-parity audits. ([#80323](https://github.com/openclaw/openclaw/issues/80323), refs [#80176](https://github.com/openclaw/openclaw/issues/80176)) Thanks [@100yenadmin](https://github.com/100yenadmin). - QA-Lab: add a QA bus tool-trace visibility scenario for sanitized tool-call assertions. - QA-Lab: replace generic evidence framing in seeded scenario prompts with concrete observed QA behavior. - QA-Lab: list named scenario packs in the coverage report so personal-agent privacy coverage stays visible in audits. - QA-Lab: list live transport lane membership in the coverage report so real transport checks stay separate from seeded qa-channel scenarios. - Release/package: run package integrity checks before package acceptance lanes so public install/update validation fails before private QA assets can leak into the package. - QA-Lab: include the optional 100-turn runtime parity soak in release-soak artifacts so long-run Codex/Pi transcript drift stays visible outside the default gate. ([#80395](https://github.com/openclaw/openclaw/issues/80395)) Thanks [@100yenadmin](https://github.com/100yenadmin). - QA-Lab: add a live-only long-context progress watchdog scenario for Codex app-server timeout and stalled-run sentinels. ([#80323](https://github.com/openclaw/openclaw/issues/80323)) Thanks [@100yenadmin](https://github.com/100yenadmin). - QA-Lab: tag gateway restart recovery and streaming final-integrity scenarios as live-only runtime parity lanes. ([#80323](https://github.com/openclaw/openclaw/issues/80323)) Thanks [@100yenadmin](https://github.com/100yenadmin). - QA-Lab: add a personal-agent failure recovery scenario that checks honest partial status, retry boundaries, and local recovery artifacts. ([#83872](https://github.com/openclaw/openclaw/issues/83872)) Thanks [@iFiras-Max1](https://github.com/iFiras-Max1). - QA-Lab: include an opt-in `update.run` package self-upgrade sentinel for destructive latest-package recovery checks. - QA-Lab: add Codex plugin lifecycle and auth-profile fixture coverage for missing installs, pinned-version drift, first-turn install ordering, and doctor migration safety. ([#80323](https://github.com/openclaw/openclaw/issues/80323), refs [#80174](https://github.com/openclaw/openclaw/issues/80174)) Thanks [@100yenadmin](https://github.com/100yenadmin). - Models/perf: pre-warm the provider auth-state map at gateway startup so `/models` and every model-listing call short-circuits the per-provider plugin / external-CLI discovery on the hot path. Per-call cost drops from \~20 s to \~5 ms (\~4,100×); the one-time startup warm resets and re-warms after hot reloads. ([#84816](https://github.com/openclaw/openclaw/issues/84816)) Thanks [@sjf](https://github.com/sjf). - Release/security: ship the root npm package and OpenClaw-owned npm plugins with generated shrinkwrap, support bundled plugin runtime dependencies for suitable plugin tarballs, and require review for lockfile/shrinkwrap changes so published installs use locked dependency graphs. - Tests/perf: isolate doctor core health check unit coverage from real skills/workspace discovery so `doctor-core-checks` no longer dominates unit perf while keeping one real skills-readiness smoke. ([#84493](https://github.com/openclaw/openclaw/issues/84493)) Thanks [@frankekn](https://github.com/frankekn). ##### Fixes - WebChat: summarize internal message-tool source replies so tool cards no longer duplicate the visible reply body. ([#84773](https://github.com/openclaw/openclaw/issues/84773)) Thanks [@jason-allen-oneal](https://github.com/jason-allen-oneal). - Gateway: preserve deferred lifecycle-error cleanup across later non-terminal events so provider timeouts can persist failed session state instead of leaving sessions stuck running. ([#85256](https://github.com/openclaw/openclaw/issues/85256), fixes [#63819](https://github.com/openclaw/openclaw/issues/63819)) Thanks [@samzong](https://github.com/samzong). - Agents/subagents: report tool-only child progress during timeout summaries instead of showing no visible output. - Telegram/ACP: preserve explicit `:topic:` conversation suffixes when inbound ACP targets do not carry a separate thread id. - Browser/proxy: bypass the managed proxy for the exact local managed Chrome CDP readiness and DevTools WebSocket endpoints, so `openclaw browser start` works when the operator proxy blocks loopback egress. ([#83255](https://github.com/openclaw/openclaw/issues/83255)) Thanks [@lightcap](https://github.com/lightcap). - Ollama: bypass the managed proxy for configured local embedding origins while keeping SSRF guardrails on unconfigured targets. Thanks [@Kaspre](https://github.com/Kaspre). - OpenAI/images: route Codex API-key image generation through the native OpenAI Images API instead of the Codex OAuth streaming backend, avoiding 401s from valid API keys. - Agents/OpenAI completions: omit empty tool payload fields for proxy-like OpenAI-compatible endpoints so strict vLLM-style servers accept tool-free turns. ([#85835](https://github.com/openclaw/openclaw/issues/85835)) Thanks [@rendrag-git](https://github.com/rendrag-git). - Checks/Windows: route full `pnpm check` stage commands through the managed child runner so Windows avoids Node shell-argv deprecation warnings there too. - Checks/Windows: run managed child commands through explicit `cmd.exe` wrapping instead of Node shell mode with argv, avoiding Node 24 subprocess deprecation warnings during changed checks. - Gateway: omit internal stream-error placeholder entries from agent prompt history so failed assistant turns are not replayed as model-authored text. ([#85652](https://github.com/openclaw/openclaw/issues/85652)) Thanks [@anyech](https://github.com/anyech). - Sessions: enforce the session write-lock max-hold policy during lock acquisition so long-held locks can be reclaimed before the stale-lock window. ([#85764](https://github.com/openclaw/openclaw/issues/85764)) Thanks [@njuboy11](https://github.com/njuboy11). - Models: prune retired Groq, GitHub Copilot, OpenAI, xAI, and old Claude catalog entries, with doctor migration to upgrade existing configs to current provider refs. - Doctor/update: recognize junction-backed source checkouts as git installs by comparing canonical paths before showing package-manager update guidance. Fixes [#82215](https://github.com/openclaw/openclaw/issues/82215). Thanks [@igormf](https://github.com/igormf). - Channels: honor `/verbose on` for tool/progress summaries across direct chats, groups, channels, and forum topics while preserving quiet default behavior. ([#85488](https://github.com/openclaw/openclaw/issues/85488)) Thanks [@kurplunkin](https://github.com/kurplunkin). - CLI/skills: show an all-ready note with next-step commands when skill setup has no missing dependencies to install. ([#85032](https://github.com/openclaw/openclaw/issues/85032)) Thanks [@aniruddhaadak80](https://github.com/aniruddhaadak80). - Microsoft Foundry: route DeepSeek V4 Pro and Flash models through the Foundry Responses API while keeping older DeepSeek models on their existing path. ([#85549](https://github.com/openclaw/openclaw/issues/85549)) Thanks [@roslinmahmud](https://github.com/roslinmahmud). - Status/usage: show configured cost estimates for AWS SDK models in full usage output while keeping token-only usage replies cost-free. ([#85619](https://github.com/openclaw/openclaw/issues/85619)) Thanks [@ItsOtherMauridian](https://github.com/ItsOtherMauridian). - Agents/OpenAI Responses: retry non-visible reasoning-only turns for OpenAI Responses API families instead of treating them as empty failed turns. ([#85603](https://github.com/openclaw/openclaw/issues/85603)) Thanks [@SebTardif](https://github.com/SebTardif). - Directive tags: preserve message and content-part object identity when display stripping makes no directive-tag changes. ([#85682](https://github.com/openclaw/openclaw/issues/85682)) Thanks [@willamhou](https://github.com/willamhou). - Telegram: send local `path`/`filePath` and structured attachment media from `sendMessage` actions instead of dropping them or sending text-only messages. ([#85219](https://github.com/openclaw/openclaw/issues/85219)) Thanks [@keshavbotagent](https://github.com/keshavbotagent). - Sessions/status: show the estimated context budget when fresh provider usage is unavailable and clear stale estimates across session resets and compaction boundaries. ([#84830](https://github.com/openclaw/openclaw/issues/84830)) Thanks [@giodl73-repo](https://github.com/giodl73-repo). - Gateway/config: pin relative `OPENCLAW_STATE_DIR` overrides to an absolute path at startup so later working-directory changes cannot retarget gateway state. ([#52264](https://github.com/openclaw/openclaw/issues/52264)) Thanks [@PerfectPan](https://github.com/PerfectPan). - Release/package: run npm release, prepublish, and postpublish verification through Windows-safe npm command shims so native Windows checks can execute `npm.cmd` instead of treating it as a binary. - Agents/harness: pass CLI runtime aliases through harness selection so provider-owned CLI aliases no longer get rejected before reaching the right runtime. ([#85631](https://github.com/openclaw/openclaw/issues/85631)) Thanks [@potterdigital](https://github.com/potterdigital). - Secrets: show the irreversible apply warning after interactive `secrets configure` confirmation so confirmed migrations still get the final safety prompt. ([#85638](https://github.com/openclaw/openclaw/issues/85638)) Thanks [@alkor2000](https://github.com/alkor2000). - Agents/CLI output: ignore cumulative Claude `stream-json` result usage when assistant usage events are present, preventing inflated cache-read accounting. ([#85625](https://github.com/openclaw/openclaw/issues/85625)) Thanks [@zhouhe-xydt](https://github.com/zhouhe-xydt). - CLI: keep `waitForever()` alive by leaving its keep-alive interval ref'd so the public helper no longer exits immediately with Node's unsettled-await code. ([#85694](https://github.com/openclaw/openclaw/issues/85694)) Thanks [@m1qaweb](https://github.com/m1qaweb). - Agents/bootstrap: guard bootstrap name checks against missing file names so malformed bootstrap entries warn and truncate instead of crashing. Fixes [#85523](https://github.com/openclaw/openclaw/issues/85523). ([#85615](https://github.com/openclaw/openclaw/issues/85615)) Thanks [@zhouhe-xydt](https://github.com/zhouhe-xydt). - CLI/tasks: reject partially numeric `openclaw tasks audit --limit` values so audit limits must be real positive integers instead of accepting strings like `5abc`. ([#84901](https://github.com/openclaw/openclaw/issues/84901)) Thanks [@jbetala7](https://github.com/jbetala7). - Status/diagnostics: bound deep Docker audit probes so `openclaw status --deep` reports slow container checks instead of hanging behind unbounded inspection. ([#85476](https://github.com/openclaw/openclaw/issues/85476)) Thanks [@giodl73-repo](https://github.com/giodl73-repo). - Providers/Anthropic: migrate 1M context handling to GA-capable Claude 4.x models by sizing eligible models at 1M without the retired `context-1m-2025-08-07` beta, ignoring that retired beta in older configs, and preserving OAuth-required Anthropic beta headers. ([#45613](https://github.com/openclaw/openclaw/issues/45613)) Thanks [@haoyu-haoyu](https://github.com/haoyu-haoyu). - Cron/Telegram: parse forum-topic delivery targets through the Telegram plugin instead of cron core, including `:topic:` and `:topicId` forms for announce delivery. Thanks [@etticat](https://github.com/etticat). - Twitch: keep stale message-handler cleanup callbacks from removing newer handler registrations for the same account, preserving inbound message delivery after reconnects. Fixes [#83888](https://github.com/openclaw/openclaw/issues/83888). ([#85425](https://github.com/openclaw/openclaw/issues/85425)) Thanks [@alkor2000](https://github.com/alkor2000). - Memory/LanceDB: expose public memory artifacts through the active memory provider bridge so memory-wiki imports durable memory files, daily notes, dream reports, and event logs without depending on memory-core internals. Fixes [#83604](https://github.com/openclaw/openclaw/issues/83604). ([#85060](https://github.com/openclaw/openclaw/issues/85060)) Thanks [@brokemac79](https://github.com/brokemac79). - Crabbox: keep AWS hydration compatible with local Actions replay by inlining the hydrate workflow's Node/pnpm setup instead of invoking repo-local composite actions. - Agents/subagents: simplify native sub-agent completion handoff so children report their latest visible assistant result to the requester without using `message`, while keeping parent-owned message-tool delivery policy intact. Fixes [#85070](https://github.com/openclaw/openclaw/issues/85070). ([#85089](https://github.com/openclaw/openclaw/issues/85089)) Thanks [@brokemac79](https://github.com/brokemac79). - Docker setup: stop printing the Gateway bearer token in setup logs and printed follow-up commands. - Agents: let embedded compaction fallback retries proceed when PI-compatible candidates do not need agent harness plugin preparation. - Agents/tools: honor configured custom provider API keys when deciding whether media, image-generation, video-generation, music-generation, and PDF tools are available. ([#85570](https://github.com/openclaw/openclaw/issues/85570)) - StepFun: stop advertising stale generic API key auth choices so onboarding only offers runtime-backed Standard and Step Plan choices. - Diagnostics: keep OpenTelemetry log bodies behind explicit content capture and scrub scoped agent-session keys from OpenTelemetry and Prometheus labels while preserving bounded queue-lane prefixes. - Windows installer: fail Git checkout installs when `pnpm install` or `pnpm build` fails instead of writing a wrapper to a missing CLI build. - Sessions: surface previous-transcript archive failures during `/new` rotation so disk rename errors are logged instead of silently hiding stranded transcript files. Fixes [#81984](https://github.com/openclaw/openclaw/issues/81984). ([#85586](https://github.com/openclaw/openclaw/issues/85586), from [#82081](https://github.com/openclaw/openclaw/issues/82081)) Thanks [@0xghost42](https://github.com/0xghost42). - TUI/agents: mirror internal-ui message-tool replies into final chat output so message-tool-only agents remain visible in `openclaw tui`. Fixes [#85538](https://github.com/openclaw/openclaw/issues/85538). Thanks [@danpolasek](https://github.com/danpolasek). - Agents: keep parallel OpenAI-compatible tool-call deltas in separate argument buffers so interleaved tool calls no longer corrupt streamed arguments. ([#82263](https://github.com/openclaw/openclaw/issues/82263)) Thanks [@luna-system](https://github.com/luna-system). - Memory/doctor: report missing or unusable QMD workspace directories as workspace failures instead of generic binary failures. ([#63167](https://github.com/openclaw/openclaw/issues/63167)) Thanks [@sercada](https://github.com/sercada). - Debug proxy: record CONNECT client-socket errors and destroy the paired upstream socket so abrupt client disconnects no longer leak tunnel resources. ([#82444](https://github.com/openclaw/openclaw/issues/82444)) Thanks [@SebTardif](https://github.com/SebTardif). - Diffs: continue hydrating later diff cards when one card fails so a single broken card no longer blanks the whole diff viewer. ([#84775](https://github.com/openclaw/openclaw/issues/84775)) Thanks [@cosmopolitan033](https://github.com/cosmopolitan033). - Mac app: use the native settings sidebar window chrome so the sidebar toggle stays on the left and content no longer clips under oversized titlebar padding. - QA-Lab/Codex: bundle auth/plugin fixture imports for flow scenarios and let terminal async media tools end Codex app-server turns without timing out. ([#80397](https://github.com/openclaw/openclaw/issues/80397), refs [#80323](https://github.com/openclaw/openclaw/issues/80323)) Thanks [@100yenadmin](https://github.com/100yenadmin). - Gateway/agents: preserve fresh session overrides and metadata when stale cached agent-session entries race with store updates, so subagent model/provider overrides and routing policy survive concurrent writes. ([#19328](https://github.com/openclaw/openclaw/issues/19328)) Thanks [@CodeReclaimers](https://github.com/CodeReclaimers). - Control UI/chat: keep chat session search inline with the session selector so the header no longer shows a duplicate standalone search row. - Control UI/chat: collapse focused-mode header chrome and suppress hidden-header scroll updates so focus mode no longer jumps while scrolling. Thanks [@amknight](https://github.com/amknight). - Codex app-server: restart the native app-server and retry once when server-side compaction times out, so preflight compaction stalls recover instead of failing every dispatch. ([#85500](https://github.com/openclaw/openclaw/issues/85500)) - Restore Control UI gateway token pairing \[AI]. ([#85459](https://github.com/openclaw/openclaw/issues/85459)) Thanks [@pgondhi987](https://github.com/pgondhi987). - OpenAI video: honor configured provider request private-network opt-in for local/custom video endpoints so explicitly trusted mock and self-hosted providers are not blocked. Thanks [@shakkernerd](https://github.com/shakkernerd). - OpenAI video: send uploaded video edit requests to the documented `/videos/edits` endpoint with a `video` file instead of posting MP4 references to `/videos`. Thanks [@shakkernerd](https://github.com/shakkernerd). - Agents/channels: preserve message-tool delivery evidence through gateway agent completion handoffs so successful generated media sends are not followed by false failure messages. Thanks [@shakkernerd](https://github.com/shakkernerd). - CLI/update: repair managed npm plugin `openclaw` peer links during post-core convergence and reject stale or wrong-target peer links before restart. ([#83794](https://github.com/openclaw/openclaw/issues/83794)) Thanks [@fuller-stack-dev](https://github.com/fuller-stack-dev). - CLI/agents: default new omitted-account bindings to all accounts when the channel has multiple configured accounts, and clarify account-scope docs. ([#49769](https://github.com/openclaw/openclaw/issues/49769)) Thanks [@Gcaufy](https://github.com/Gcaufy). - Codex app-server: let authorized `/codex` control commands such as `/codex detach` escape plugin-owned conversation bindings while keeping unknown or unauthorized slash text routed to the bound plugin. Fixes [#85157](https://github.com/openclaw/openclaw/issues/85157). ([#85188](https://github.com/openclaw/openclaw/issues/85188)) Thanks [@TurboTheTurtle](https://github.com/TurboTheTurtle). - Auto-reply/models: keep `/models` browse replies fast by sharing the bounded read-only catalog path with Gateway model listing. ([#84735](https://github.com/openclaw/openclaw/issues/84735)) Thanks [@safrano9999](https://github.com/safrano9999). - Codex app-server: disable native Code Mode when the effective exec host is `node` and keep OpenClaw `exec`/`process` available, so `/exec host=node` routes shell commands through the selected node instead of the gateway. Fixes [#85012](https://github.com/openclaw/openclaw/issues/85012). ([#85090](https://github.com/openclaw/openclaw/issues/85090)) Thanks [@sahilsatralkar](https://github.com/sahilsatralkar). - Agents: bound embedded auto-compaction session write-lock watchdogs to the compaction timeout instead of the full run timeout, so stuck compaction cannot hold the live session lock for the whole run window. ([#84949](https://github.com/openclaw/openclaw/issues/84949)) Thanks [@luoyanglang](https://github.com/luoyanglang). - Gateway/agents: return phase-aware `agent.wait` timeout attribution and only cool auth profiles on provider-started timeouts. Refs [#65504](https://github.com/openclaw/openclaw/issues/65504). Thanks [@100yenadmin](https://github.com/100yenadmin). - Gateway: defer provider auth-state prewarm until after startup readiness so early gateway tool/session requests are not blocked by provider auth discovery. ([#85272](https://github.com/openclaw/openclaw/issues/85272)) Thanks [@dutifulbob](https://github.com/dutifulbob). - Gateway/models: coalesce provider auth-state rewarms after auth-profile failures and log event-loop delay for warm/rewarm work, so provider auth bursts no longer stack full auth sweeps behind channel replies. - Gateway/models: stop cancelled provider auth-state prewarms from continuing full provider sweeps, so reload and auth-failure bursts no longer keep startup busy. - Agents/Codex: show the first plan update as a transient chat status notice without counting it as final assistant content. - CLI/update: walk the macOS process ancestry and honor the inherited Gateway runtime PID before package updates stop the managed Gateway service, so nested in-band updater children can refuse instead of killing the LaunchAgent-supervised Gateway that owns them. Fixes [#85120](https://github.com/openclaw/openclaw/issues/85120). - Gateway/LaunchAgent: wait for launchd reload bootout to finish and fall back to kickstart when bootstrap races, so reload handoff does not leave the service deregistered. Fixes [#84630](https://github.com/openclaw/openclaw/issues/84630). ([#84641](https://github.com/openclaw/openclaw/issues/84641)) Thanks [@NianJiuZst](https://github.com/NianJiuZst). - Gateway/LaunchAgent: treat a concurrent launchd bootstrap as a successful restart when the service is already loaded, avoiding false macOS Gateway restart failures.

([#84722](https://github.com/openclaw/openclaw/issues/84722)) Thanks [@googlerest](https://github.com/googlerest). - Gateway/service: include the active `openclaw` command bin directory in managed service PATH generation and doctor audit expectations for npm-global macOS installs. Fixes [#84201](https://github.com/openclaw/openclaw/issues/84201). ([#84475](https://github.com/openclaw/openclaw/issues/84475)) Thanks [@jbetala7](https://github.com/jbetala7). - Control UI/chat: disable the thinking selector for known non-reasoning models instead of showing duplicate Off choices. Fixes [#84069](https://github.com/openclaw/openclaw/issues/84069). Thanks [@DrippingMellow](https://github.com/DrippingMellow). - Memory: expand `~` in configured extra memory paths before resolving them, so home-relative folders are not treated as workspace-relative. Fixes [#58026](https://github.com/openclaw/openclaw/issues/58026). Thanks [@stadman](https://github.com/stadman). - Skills: treat `openclaw.os: macos` as Darwin when checking skill requirements, so macOS-only skills no longer report as missing on macOS hosts. Fixes [#61338](https://github.com/openclaw/openclaw/issues/61338).
