fix(whatsapp): serialize Error in auto-reply delivery log by itsuzef · Pull Request #85777 · openclaw/openclaw

itsuzef · 2026-05-23T16:32:51Z

Summary

The auto-reply delivery failed log path in extensions/whatsapp/src/auto-reply/monitor/inbound-dispatch.ts passes a raw Error under the err field. tslog renders bare Error instances as {} because Error's own data properties are non-enumerable. Every delivery failure in production logs err: {}, forcing operators to guess the underlying Baileys error from timestamp alone (observed 2026-05-22: two failures at 12:04:44.419/.421 cost ~30 min of code archaeology to recover what the error would have told us).

Fix

Add a small normalizeErrForLog helper that converts Error to { type, message, stack } plus own-enumerable properties, preserving Boom-style subclass diagnostics (output.statusCode, data) and custom delivery-error fields (stage, results). Non-Error values pass through unchanged.

Object.fromEntries(Object.entries(err)) is used in place of ...err to satisfy the repo's typescript(no-misused-spread) lint rule.

Error.cause is intentionally NOT walked here: it is non-enumerable and including it raises the risk of embedding a non-serializable value that breaks the logger's JSON.stringify (silently dropping the whole log line). Happy to add bounded cause-handling if maintainers want it.

Real behavior proof

The file-log transport at src/logging/logger.ts:568 does JSON.stringify(record) on the structured record. Reproduced that exact path with a Node probe so the on-disk log line can be compared directly before vs after the patch. All IDs/JIDs are redacted with <...> placeholders; the correlationId is a synthetic example mirroring the format actually used.

Case 1 — plain `new Error("send failed")` (the empirical production bug)

BEFORE (current upstream main):

{"level":"error","msg":"auto-reply delivery failed","replyKind":"final","correlationId":"3EB0928533C5D5C648ED88","connectionId":"<redacted>","conversationId":"<redacted-conv>","chatId":"<redacted>@g.us","to":"<redacted-to>","from":"<redacted-from>","err":{}}

err: {} — exactly what we observed in production logs on 2026-05-22. Useless for triage.

AFTER (this PR):

{"level":"error","msg":"auto-reply delivery failed","replyKind":"final","correlationId":"3EB0928533C5D5C648ED88","connectionId":"<redacted>","conversationId":"<redacted-conv>","chatId":"<redacted>@g.us","to":"<redacted-to>","from":"<redacted-from>","err":{"type":"Error","message":"send failed","stack":"Error: send failed\n    at file:///private/tmp/ve514-proof.mjs:34:39\n    at ModuleJob.run (node:internal/modules/esm/module_job:345:25)\n    ..."}}

err: { type, message, stack } — operator can now classify the failure at-a-glance.

Case 2 — Baileys/Boom-like subclass throwing a 408 timeout

BEFORE:

{..."err":{"name":"BoomLikeError","output":{"statusCode":408,"payload":{"error":"Request Time-out"}},"data":{"reason":"transport-stale"}}}

Some fields visible (own-enumerable) but message and stack still missing.

AFTER:

{..."err":{"name":"BoomLikeError","output":{"statusCode":408,"payload":{"error":"Request Time-out"}},"data":{"reason":"transport-stale"},"type":"BoomLikeError","message":"send timed out","stack":"BoomLikeError: send timed out\n    at file:///private/tmp/ve514-proof.mjs:45:42\n    ..."}}

All Boom diagnostic fields preserved AND type/message/stack now present.

Case 3 — non-`Error` structured rejection (pass-through, no regression)

BEFORE === AFTER:

{..."err":{"error":{"code":"BAILEYS_NACK","message":"stanza rejected"},"attempt":2}}

Confirmed pass-through preserves object rejection payloads unchanged.

Probe script

The probe at /tmp/ve514-proof.mjs mirrors src/logging/logger.ts:568 (JSON.stringify(record)) exactly. Source available on request; not committed because it's a one-off ad-hoc probe.

Test plan

pnpm test extensions/whatsapp/src/auto-reply/monitor/inbound-dispatch.test.ts — 40 passed (4 new cases: Error, Boom-style subclass, string rejection, object rejection)
pnpm exec oxfmt --check
pnpm lint:extensions
pnpm check:changed (full lane: typecheck, lint, import cycles, deps guards)
codex review --base upstream/main (8 iterations addressed; settled on this middle ground after the AI reviewer oscillated between "preserve more" and "preserve less" — current shape addresses preservation concerns without serialization risk)
Real-behavior proof above (Node probe reproducing the logger's JSON.stringify transport, three cases redacted)

Note on CI failure

checks-node-core-fast failure is unrelated to this PR: src/plugin-activation-boundary.test.ts:147 expects grok-4-fast but the resolver returns grok-4-fast-reasoning (xAI model normalization). The same job is failing on the latest main CI run (26339120224), so the breakage predates this branch and is in a path this PR does not touch (extensions/whatsapp/** only).

Summary
The branch adds normalizeErrForLog to WhatsApp inbound dispatch and expands tests for Error, Error-subclass, string, and object auto-reply delivery failures.

Reproducibility: yes. Current main passes a raw Error to the structured log field, and the file transport serializes that record with JSON.stringify; a focused Node probe confirms that produces err: {} for plain Errors.

PR rating
Overall: 🐚 platinum hermit
Proof: 🐚 platinum hermit
Patch quality: 🦞 diamond lobster
Summary: The PR is small, targeted, and well covered, with adequate proof for this log-serialization bug and only normal CI completion remaining.

Rank-up moves:

Wait for the remaining required check runs on head d5403464 to complete successfully or be explicitly waived as unrelated 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
Override: A maintainer applied proof: override for this PR.

Risk before merge

A few check runs for head d5403464 were still in progress when inspected; maintainers should wait for required CI to finish or explicitly waive unrelated pending checks before merge.

Maintainer options:

Decide the mitigation before merge
Land the narrow WhatsApp log normalization after the required CI gate is green or intentionally waived, keeping the fix local to the plugin log site.
Pause or close
Do not merge this PR until maintainers decide whether the risk is worth taking.

Next step before merge
No ClawSweeper repair lane is needed because the diff has no blocking findings; the remaining action is normal maintainer merge review and CI gating.

Security
Cleared: The diff only changes local WhatsApp log serialization and tests; it adds no dependencies, workflows, credentials, permissions, or new code execution paths.

Review details

Best possible solution:

Land the narrow WhatsApp log normalization after the required CI gate is green or intentionally waived, keeping the fix local to the plugin log site.

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

Yes. Current main passes a raw Error to the structured log field, and the file transport serializes that record with JSON.stringify; a focused Node probe confirms that produces err: {} for plain Errors.

Is this the best way to solve the issue?

Yes. Normalizing only this WhatsApp delivery-failure log field fixes the operator-visible diagnostic loss without changing the central logger contract or plugin SDK surface.

Label justifications:

P2: This is a normal-priority WhatsApp observability bug fix with limited blast radius and no direct message delivery, auth, session, or availability behavior change.
rating: 🐚 platinum hermit: Current PR rating is 🐚 platinum hermit because proof is 🐚 platinum hermit, patch quality is 🦞 diamond lobster, and The PR is small, targeted, and well covered, with adequate proof for this log-serialization bug and only normal CI completion remaining.
status: 👀 ready for maintainer look: ClawSweeper has no concrete contributor-facing blocker left for this PR. Override: A maintainer applied proof: override for this PR.

What I checked:

Current main logs the raw delivery error: logWhatsAppReplyDeliveryError on current main passes params.err directly into the structured err field for auto-reply delivery failed. (extensions/whatsapp/src/auto-reply/monitor/inbound-dispatch.ts:92, 00388134c4ed)
File transport serializes records with JSON.stringify: The logger file transport builds the structured record and writes JSON.stringify(redactLogRecordForTransport(record)), so a plain Error object becomes an empty object unless normalized first. (src/logging/logger.ts:568, 00388134c4ed)
Focused reproduction of the serialization loss: A read-only Node probe showed JSON.stringify({ err: new Error("send failed") }) outputs {"err":{}}, while the normalized shape preserves the message field.
PR patch is narrow and covered: The PR adds a local normalizeErrForLog helper at the WhatsApp log site and tests plain Error, Boom-like Error subclass, string rejection, and structured object rejection behavior. (extensions/whatsapp/src/auto-reply/monitor/inbound-dispatch.ts:82, d540346420c4)
Related search did not find a merged canonical replacement: Search found this open PR, a prior closed-unmerged WhatsApp delivery logging PR, and adjacent delivery issues, but no merged PR that already implements this exact Error serialization fix.
Head check state: Most checks on head d5403464 were successful at inspection, with a few check runs still in progress, so the remaining gate is normal CI completion rather than a code repair. (d540346420c4)

Updated the PR body with the redacted before/after log output ClawSweeper asked for — three cases (plain Error, Boom-like subclass, non-Error rejection) using a Node probe that mirrors src/logging/logger.ts:568 (JSON.stringify(record)) exactly.

checks-node-core-fast failure is unrelated: src/plugin-activation-boundary.test.ts:147 (xAI grok-4-fast model normalization). The same job is failing on the latest main CI run, and this PR only touches extensions/whatsapp/auto-reply/monitor/inbound-dispatch.{ts,test.ts}.

The auto-reply "delivery failed" log path passes a raw Error under the `err` field. tslog's default JSON serialization renders bare Error instances as `{}` because Error own data properties are non-enumerable. Every delivery failure in production therefore logs `err: {}`, forcing operators to guess the underlying Baileys error from timestamp alone. Convert Error to `{ type, message, stack }` plus own-enumerable properties at the log site, so Boom-style subclass diagnostics (output.statusCode, data) and custom OutboundDeliveryError fields (stage, results) survive. Non-Error rejection values pass through unchanged. Tests cover Error, Error subclass (Boom-style), string rejection, and object rejection paths.

martingarramon

The serializer correctly handles the three non-enumerable Error properties (message, stack, and name-as-type) that JSON.stringify silently drops. Spreading own enumerable props first, then explicitly setting those three, is the right order — it preserves Boom-style subclass fields without relying on them to surface the base properties.

Four cases covered: base Error, subclass with extra fields, string rejection, plain object. LGTM.

([#86270](https://github.com/openclaw/openclaw/issues/86270), [#86359](https://github.com/openclaw/openclaw/issues/86359)) - Plugin SDK: add reaction approval helpers and keep diagnostic event root exports discoverable across function-name and alias-bound module graphs. ([#86735](https://github.com/openclaw/openclaw/issues/86735), [#87084](https://github.com/openclaw/openclaw/issues/87084)) - Android/iOS: add the Android pair-new-gateway action and improve mobile Talk mode surfaces, including iOS realtime Talk mode and Android offline voice/gateway recovery. ([#86798](https://github.com/openclaw/openclaw/issues/86798), [#86355](https://github.com/openclaw/openclaw/issues/86355)) Thanks [@ngutman](https://github.com/ngutman). - Performance: cache plugin metadata snapshots, package realpaths, stable gateway metadata, model cost indexes, channel resolution, usage-cost indexes, and session/auth hot-path facts so common Gateway and reply paths do less rediscovery. ([#84649](https://github.com/openclaw/openclaw/issues/84649), [#85843](https://github.com/openclaw/openclaw/issues/85843), [#86517](https://github.com/openclaw/openclaw/issues/86517), [#86678](https://github.com/openclaw/openclaw/issues/86678)) - Voice: expose shared realtime turn-context tracking through the realtime voice SDK and reuse it for Discord speaker attribution and wake-name context recovery. - Voice: reuse shared realtime output activity tracking in Google Meet command and node audio bridges, including recent-output checks for local barge-in detection. - Voice: expose shared realtime output activity tracking through the realtime voice SDK and reuse it for Discord playback activity and barge-in decisions. - Voice: expose shared realtime consult question matching, speakable-result extraction, and alias-aware forced-consult coordination through the realtime voice SDK, then reuse it in Gateway Talk, Voice Call, and Discord voice paths. - Voice: share activation-name matching and consult-transcript screening through the realtime voice SDK so Discord, browser voice, and meeting surfaces can reuse one implementation. - Cron: default `cron.maxConcurrentRuns` to 8 so scheduled automations and their isolated agent turns can make progress in parallel without explicit configuration. - QA-Lab: add `qa coverage --match <query>` so focused proof selection can discover matching scenarios from existing metadata before running live or remote lanes. - Discord/model picker: surface an alpha-bucket select (e.g. `A–G (12) · H–N (18) · O–Z (5)`) when the provider list or a provider's model list exceeds 25 items, so configs with `provider/*` wildcards stay one click from the right page instead of paginating through prev/next; falls back to numeric chunks when every item shares the same first letter. - Control UI: add an ephemeral Activity tab for sanitized live tool activity summaries without persisting raw telemetry. Fixes [#12831](https://github.com/openclaw/openclaw/issues/12831). Thanks [@BunsDev](https://github.com/BunsDev). - Build: include `ui:build` in the `full` and `ciArtifacts` profiles of `scripts/build-all.mjs` so `pnpm build` always rebuilds `dist/control-ui` after `tsdown` cleans `dist`, removing the second-command requirement and the missing-asset failure mode for source/runtime installs and CI artifact uploads. ([#85206](https://github.com/openclaw/openclaw/issues/85206)) - iOS: improve Talk mode with direct realtime voice sessions, compact toolbar status, and responsive voice waveform feedback. ([#86355](https://github.com/openclaw/openclaw/issues/86355)) Thanks [@ngutman](https://github.com/ngutman). - Media: replace the Sharp image backend with Rastermill for metadata, resizing, EXIF orientation, and PNG alpha-preserving optimization so OpenClaw no longer installs Sharp or the WhatsApp Jimp fallback for image processing. ([#86437](https://github.com/openclaw/openclaw/issues/86437)) - Codex: update the bundled Codex CLI to 0.134.0 and keep native compaction disabled for budget-triggered app-server turns so OpenClaw owns the recovery boundary. ([#86772](https://github.com/openclaw/openclaw/issues/86772)) ##### Fixes - Memory/security: reject prompt-like text submitted through the explicit `memory_store` tool before embedding or storage, matching the existing auto-capture prompt-injection filter. ([#87142](https://github.com/openclaw/openclaw/issues/87142)) - Gateway/security: enable the default auth rate limiter for remote non-browser and HTTP gateway auth failures when `gateway.auth.rateLimit` is unset, while preserving the loopback exemption. ([#87148](https://github.com/openclaw/openclaw/issues/87148)) - Prompt hardening: route untrusted group prompt metadata through sanitized untrusted structured context while preserving trusted operator-configured group system prompts and aligning the plugin SDK docs/test helpers. ([#87144](https://github.com/openclaw/openclaw/issues/87144)) - Security/content boundaries: validate Browser snapshot tab URLs against SSRF policy before ChromeMCP or direct CDP reads, sanitize queued system-event text so untrusted plugin/channel labels cannot spoof nested prompt markers, wrap fetched file text and metadata as external content, apply ClickClack `allowFrom` sender allowlists before agent dispatch, reject RPCs from invalidated device-token clients during rotation, require staged sandbox media refs, and scrub serialized tool-call text from replies.

([#86997](https://github.com/openclaw/openclaw/issues/86997)) - Reply/perf: reduce visible reply delivery latency by preserving Telegram typing/progress context, lazy-loading slash-command startup metadata, avoiding hot-path model hydration, flag-gating Codex profiler timing, deferring context compaction maintenance, and tracking delivery timing. ([#86989](https://github.com/openclaw/openclaw/issues/86989), [#86990](https://github.com/openclaw/openclaw/issues/86990), [#86991](https://github.com/openclaw/openclaw/issues/86991), [#86992](https://github.com/openclaw/openclaw/issues/86992), [#86993](https://github.com/openclaw/openclaw/issues/86993), [#86994](https://github.com/openclaw/openclaw/issues/86994)) Thanks [@keshavbotagent](https://github.com/keshavbotagent). - Reply/source delivery: keep TUI, Control UI, media, TTS, transcript, and Codex source-reply finals live without duplicate terminal events or stale replay artifacts. - Agents/replay: repair legacy tool results before replay, preserve `sessions_spawn` transcript payloads, restore current guard checks, stage sandboxed workspace media, and keep duplicate transcripts tool display metadata from reappearing.

([#86638](https://github.com/openclaw/openclaw/issues/86638)) - Agents/hooks/subagents: enforce default hook agent allowlists, recover failed subagent lifecycle completions, and keep node task lifecycle cleanup from closing the Gateway listener. ([#86101](https://github.com/openclaw/openclaw/issues/86101)) - Codex: project newer OpenClaw chat history into resumed app-server threads and keep Codex turn timeouts inside the Codex runtime boundary so timeouts do not poison shared app-server clients or fall through to unrelated provider fallback. ([#86677](https://github.com/openclaw/openclaw/issues/86677), [#86476](https://github.com/openclaw/openclaw/issues/86476)) Thanks [@TurboTheTurtle](https://github.com/TurboTheTurtle) and [@pashpashpash](https://github.com/pashpashpash). - Config/doctor/update: narrow profiled tool-section doctor repair, keep runtime-injected legacy web-search provider config out of user-authored config validation, and keep prerelease tags excluded from stable updater resolution.

([#87031](https://github.com/openclaw/openclaw/issues/87031), [#85387](https://github.com/openclaw/openclaw/issues/85387)) Thanks [@giodl73-repo](https://github.com/giodl73-repo) and [@vincentkoc](https://github.com/vincentkoc). - Locking/security: require owner identity proof before stale plugin lock removal, memoize session lock owner arguments, and avoid writing default exec approval stores unless policy state actually changed. ([#86814](https://github.com/openclaw/openclaw/issues/86814), [#86964](https://github.com/openclaw/openclaw/issues/86964)) Thanks [@Alix-007](https://github.com/Alix-007) and [@vincentkoc](https://github.com/vincentkoc). - Install/release: bound Docker package build, inventory, pack, and tarball preparation with process-group timeouts; pin shrinkwrap patch drift to the pnpm lock; harden macOS restart and dSYM packaging; and run release Docker/live timeout wrappers in the foreground so child processes cannot wedge gates. - QA/Telegram: bound Telegram user credential tar and broker calls so live proof setup fails with a timeout instead of waiting for the outer Crabbox job deadline. - QA/Tool Search: bound gateway E2E HTTP probes, run only the fixture plugin, and clean up temporary fixture trees after the compact tool-catalog proof completes. - Telegram/network: treat `ENETDOWN` as a transient pre-connect network failure so Telegram sends, gateway unhandled-rejection handling, and cron network retries follow the same recovery path as sibling network outages. ([#86762](https://github.com/openclaw/openclaw/issues/86762)) Thanks [@TurboTheTurtle](https://github.com/TurboTheTurtle). - Telegram: preserve inbound text entities, overlapping DM replies, account topic cache sidecars, outbound reply context, targeted bot-command mentions, durable group retry targets, forum topic names, and native progress callbacks.

Fixes [#84462](https://github.com/openclaw/openclaw/issues/84462). ([#86553](https://github.com/openclaw/openclaw/issues/86553)) Thanks [@luoyanglang](https://github.com/luoyanglang). - CI: bound Docker/Bash E2E tarball npm installs with `OPENCLAW_E2E_NPM_INSTALL_TIMEOUT` so package, onboarding, plugin, and upgrade lanes fail instead of hanging on a stuck npm install. - CI: fail Parallels npm-update smoke jobs after the guest command timeout and cleanup backstop instead of only logging a timeout line. - CI: bound kitchen-sink RPC HTTP probes so stalled gateway readiness or response bodies fail and retry instead of wedging the walker. - CI: bound Telegram user Crabbox proof Bot API calls so stalled Telegram responses fail instead of wedging credential and desktop proof cleanup. - CI: bound MCP channel stdio client initialization so Docker channel proof fails and closes the bridge transport instead of waiting for the outer job timeout. - CI: keep `OPENCLAW_TESTBOX=1 pnpm check:changed` delegating to Blacksmith Testbox through Crabbox without forwarding local Testbox or worker env into the remote command. - CI: send KILL after the TERM grace period for manual checkout fetch timeouts so stuck Testbox and workflow checkout retries cannot hang behind a wedged `git fetch`. - CI: send KILL after the TERM grace period for Bun global install smoke command timeouts so trapped `openclaw` child processes cannot wedge the scheduled install smoke. - iMessage: thread current channel/account inbound attachment roots into the image tool so iMessage-saved attachments under `~/Library/Messages/Attachments` (including the wildcard `/Users/*/Library/Messages/Attachments` root) are read through the existing inbound path policy instead of being rejected as `path-not-allowed`. Literal `localRoots` stays workspace-scoped. Fixes [#30170](https://github.com/openclaw/openclaw/issues/30170).

([#86046](https://github.com/openclaw/openclaw/issues/86046)) Thanks [@SebTardif](https://github.com/SebTardif). - Discord: route gateway metadata REST lookups through the configured Discord proxy so proxied accounts do not fall back to direct `discord.com` connections before opening the WebSocket. Fixes [#80227](https://github.com/openclaw/openclaw/issues/80227). Thanks [@Clivilwalker](https://github.com/Clivilwalker). - Agents/media: hydrate current-turn image attachments from filename-derived MIME types so active vision can see generated or forwarded images whose source omitted an image content type. ([#84812](https://github.com/openclaw/openclaw/issues/84812)) Thanks [@marchpure](https://github.com/marchpure). - Agents/fs: point workspace-only scratch-path guidance at in-workspace temp directories while keeping host-root writes rejected by the tool guard. ([#86501](https://github.com/openclaw/openclaw/issues/86501)) Thanks [@tianxiaochannel-oss88](https://github.com/tianxiaochannel-oss88). - Agents/media: keep async cron media completions scoped to their run session while preserving direct delivery for stale generated-media success and failure notifications. ([#86529](https://github.com/openclaw/openclaw/issues/86529)) Thanks [@ai-hpc](https://github.com/ai-hpc). - Gateway: emit plugin `session_end`/`session_start` hooks when `agent.send` rotates or replaces a session id, keeping hook lifecycle state aligned with `sessions.changed` notifications. Fixes [#83507](https://github.com/openclaw/openclaw/issues/83507). ([#85875](https://github.com/openclaw/openclaw/issues/85875)) Thanks [@brokemac79](https://github.com/brokemac79). - OpenShell/SSH: reject malformed generated exec commands before sandbox/session setup so unresolved workflow placeholders fail fast instead of reaching the remote shell. Fixes [#72373](https://github.com/openclaw/openclaw/issues/72373). Thanks [@brokemac79](https://github.com/brokemac79). - Google: stop normalizing `gemini-3.1-flash-lite` to the retired preview endpoint and update Flash Lite alias guidance to the GA model id. Fixes [#86151](https://github.com/openclaw/openclaw/issues/86151). ([#86240](https://github.com/openclaw/openclaw/issues/86240)) Thanks [@SebTardif](https://github.com/SebTardif). - Installer: make Alpine apk installs cover Git, verify the Node runtime floor, try `nodejs-current`, and report Alpine version guidance when repositories only provide older Node packages. - Agents/status: prefer the active Claude CLI OAuth auth label over an unused Anthropic env API-key label for equivalent runtime aliases. Fixes [#80184](https://github.com/openclaw/openclaw/issues/80184). ([#86570](https://github.com/openclaw/openclaw/issues/86570)) Thanks [@brokemac79](https://github.com/brokemac79). - Agents/media: send direct fallback for generated media still missing after an active requester wake fails. ([#85489](https://github.com/openclaw/openclaw/issues/85489)) Thanks [@fuller-stack-dev](https://github.com/fuller-stack-dev). - Agents: derive overflow compaction budgets from provider-reported and synthetic over-budget token counts so confirmed context overflows compact before retrying. ([#70473](https://github.com/openclaw/openclaw/issues/70473)) Thanks [@fuller-stack-dev](https://github.com/fuller-stack-dev). - Agents/Codex: recover Codex context-window prompt errors through overflow compaction and surface reset guidance when recovery is exhausted. ([#85542](https://github.com/openclaw/openclaw/issues/85542)) Thanks [@fuller-stack-dev](https://github.com/fuller-stack-dev). - Agents/Codex: allow Codex app-server runs to bootstrap from `CODEX_API_KEY` or `OPENAI_API_KEY` when no Codex auth profile is configured. - Agents/Codex: keep selected Codex runtime routing on OpenAI-Codex while preserving direct OpenAI API-key compaction fallback. ([#86408](https://github.com/openclaw/openclaw/issues/86408)) Thanks [@funmerlin](https://github.com/funmerlin) and [@VACInc](https://github.com/VACInc). - Agent transcript: include OpenClaw agent session logs when finding local transcript candidates. - Crabbox: bootstrap raw AWS macOS shell commands wrapped in absolute `time` paths so RSS probes can run Node and pnpm on fresh macOS runners. - Crabbox: bootstrap raw AWS macOS shell commands even when setup statements precede Node or pnpm usage. - TUI/local: skip unnecessary secret resolution, gateway model catalog loading, bootstrap, and skill scans in explicit local-model runs so startup reaches the model request faster. - Sessions/doctor: load large session stores without clone amplification during read-only doctor checks and reclaim stale `sessions.json.*.tmp` sidecars. Fixes [#56827](https://github.com/openclaw/openclaw/issues/56827). Thanks [@openperf](https://github.com/openperf). - Tests: clean successful plugin gateway gauntlet isolated temp roots while keeping an explicit preservation switch for failed/debug runs. - Plugins/perf: reuse derived plugin metadata snapshots for the lifetime of the process so reply-time skill setup no longer rescans plugin metadata on every turn. - Discord/OpenAI voice: keep wake-name master consults using the current speaker context after ignored ambient transcripts and shorten the default capture silence grace. - Doctor: skip redundant Gateway restart prompts when a recent supervisor restart leaves the Gateway healthy. Fixes [#86518](https://github.com/openclaw/openclaw/issues/86518). ([#86533](https://github.com/openclaw/openclaw/issues/86533)) Thanks [@liaoyl830](https://github.com/liaoyl830). - Cron: restore suspended cron lanes to the configured/default concurrency instead of falling back to one after quota or circuit-breaker auto-resume. - Gateway: keep session-only Control UI tool-start mirrors flowing during diagnostic queue pressure instead of silently dropping non-terminal tool updates. - Agents/memory: return optional not-found context for missing date-only daily memory reads instead of logging benign first-run `ENOENT` failures. Fixes [#82928](https://github.com/openclaw/openclaw/issues/82928). Thanks [@galiniliev](https://github.com/galiniliev). - Discord: merge streamed text captions into following media block replies so captions and attachments send as one message. ([#86487](https://github.com/openclaw/openclaw/issues/86487)) Thanks [@neeravmakwana](https://github.com/neeravmakwana). - Gateway: avoid sending duplicate tool-event frames to Control UI connections that are subscribed by both run and session. - Discord/OpenAI voice: accept broader edge-position fuzzy wake-name transcripts while keeping ambient speech gated. - Discord/OpenAI voice: accept longer leading wake-name mistranscripts such as "Open Club" for OpenClaw. - Agents/OpenAI-compatible: stop ModelStudio-compatible chat requests before sending system/tool-only payloads that have no usable user or assistant turn. ([#86177](https://github.com/openclaw/openclaw/issues/86177)) Thanks [@TurboTheTurtle](https://github.com/TurboTheTurtle). - Gateway/plugins: reuse plugin package realpath checks while building installed plugin indexes so startup avoids repeated filesystem resolution work. - Kilo Gateway: send string `stop` sequences as arrays so Kilo accepts OpenAI-compatible chat completions. ([#86461](https://github.com/openclaw/openclaw/issues/86461)) Thanks [@SebTardif](https://github.com/SebTardif). - Discord/OpenAI voice: accept leading fuzzy wake-name transcripts such as "Monty" or "Moti" for a Molty agent while keeping ambient speech gated. - Media understanding: convert HEIC and HEIF images to JPEG before image description providers run so iPhone photos work in direct and configured image-description flows. ([#86037](https://github.com/openclaw/openclaw/issues/86037)) - Agents: release embedded-attempt session locks from outer teardown so post-prompt exceptions cannot wedge later requests behind `SessionWriteLockTimeoutError`. Fixes [#86014](https://github.com/openclaw/openclaw/issues/86014). Thanks [@openperf](https://github.com/openperf). - Discord/OpenAI voice: rotate Realtime sessions at provider max duration without logging the expected session-expiry event as an error. - Sessions: skip metadata-only entries during QMD-slugified session lookup so one incomplete row does not block transcript hit resolution. ([#86327](https://github.com/openclaw/openclaw/issues/86327)) Thanks [@abnershang](https://github.com/abnershang). - Agents/media: derive bundled plugin local-media trust from plugin tool metadata instead of importing the full plugin registry on subscription paths. ([#84409](https://github.com/openclaw/openclaw/issues/84409)) Thanks [@samzong](https://github.com/samzong). - Image tool: keep config-backed custom-provider API keys usable for auto-discovered vision models, including deferred image-tool execution without env keys or auth profiles. ([#85733](https://github.com/openclaw/openclaw/issues/85733)) - Memory/local embeddings: run local GGUF embeddings in an isolated worker sidecar and degrade to configured fallback or keyword search on worker failure so native embedding crashes do not take down the Gateway. ([#85348](https://github.com/openclaw/openclaw/issues/85348)) Thanks [@osolmaz](https://github.com/osolmaz). - Gateway: clear the runtime config snapshot before `SIGUSR1` in-process restarts so config changes survive the next gateway loop. ([#86388](https://github.com/openclaw/openclaw/issues/86388)) Thanks [@XuZehan-iCenter](https://github.com/XuZehan-iCenter). - Models: show OAuth delegation markers as configured `models.json` auth while keeping runtime route usability checks strict. ([#86378](https://github.com/openclaw/openclaw/issues/86378)) Thanks [@rohitjavvadi](https://github.com/rohitjavvadi). - Cron: seed active scheduled and manual cron task rows with a progress summary so status surfaces do not look blank while jobs run. ([#86313](https://github.com/openclaw/openclaw/issues/86313)) Thanks [@ferminquant](https://github.com/ferminquant). - Cron: preserve unsupported persisted cron payload rows during routine store writes while keeping those rows non-runnable. Fixes [#84922](https://github.com/openclaw/openclaw/issues/84922). ([#86415](https://github.com/openclaw/openclaw/issues/86415)) Thanks [@IWhatsskill](https://github.com/IWhatsskill). - Updater: exclude prerelease git tags from stable channel resolution so source updates do not check out newer alpha/rc/preview/canary tags. ([#86260](https://github.com/openclaw/openclaw/issues/86260)) Thanks [@stevenepalmer](https://github.com/stevenepalmer). - Security/Audit: flag webhook `hooks.token` reuse of active Gateway password auth in `openclaw security audit` while keeping password-mode startup compatibility. ([#84338](https://github.com/openclaw/openclaw/issues/84338)) Thanks [@coygeek](https://github.com/coygeek). - QQBot: derive the outbound reply watchdog from configured agent and provider timeouts so slow local model replies are not cut off at five minutes. Fixes [#85267](https://github.com/openclaw/openclaw/issues/85267). ([#85271](https://github.com/openclaw/openclaw/issues/85271)) Thanks [@SymbolStar](https://github.com/SymbolStar). - Agents/heartbeat: stop heartbeat turns after the first valid `heartbeat_respond` so repeated response loops do not burn tokens. ([#86357](https://github.com/openclaw/openclaw/issues/86357)) Thanks [@udaymanish6](https://github.com/udaymanish6). - Tasks: keep retained lost tasks out of default status health counts, explain their cleanup window during maintenance, and prune lost task records after 24 hours instead of the general 7-day terminal retention. - Memory-core: keep REM dreaming focused on live light-staged memories and mark staged entries as considered so old recall history no longer dominates fresh candidates. ([#86302](https://github.com/openclaw/openclaw/issues/86302)) Thanks [@SebTardif](https://github.com/SebTardif). - Memory: abort sync instead of downgrading an existing semantic vector index to FTS-only when the configured embedding provider is temporarily unavailable. ([#85704](https://github.com/openclaw/openclaw/issues/85704)) Thanks [@yaaboo-gif](https://github.com/yaaboo-gif). - Telegram: propagate forum topic names through the account-scoped topic cache for native command context and topic create/edit actions. ([#86299](https://github.com/openclaw/openclaw/issues/86299)) Thanks [@SebTardif](https://github.com/SebTardif). - Slack: keep downloaded read-only files out of reply media so Slack file reads do not echo files back to the conversation. ([#86318](https://github.com/openclaw/openclaw/issues/86318)) Thanks [@neeravmakwana](https://github.com/neeravmakwana). - Cron: accept leading-plus relative durations such as `+5m` for one-shot `--at` schedules. ([#86341](https://github.com/openclaw/openclaw/issues/86341)) Thanks [@mushuiyu886](https://github.com/mushuiyu886). - Agents/media: preserve async-started media tool metadata so background generation starts no longer surface generic incomplete-turn warnings while replay stays unsafe. ([#85933](https://github.com/openclaw/openclaw/issues/85933)) Thanks [@fuller-stack-dev](https://github.com/fuller-stack-dev). - Docker E2E: dedupe scheduler lane resources so npm/service package lanes are not over-counted and serialized unnecessarily. - QA/diagnostics: add a collector-backed OpenTelemetry smoke lane, make the OTLP payload leak check scenario-aware, and keep source QA builds from failing on optional dependency imports resolved through pnpm's temp module path. - Crabbox: bootstrap Git metadata for sparse remote changed gates so raw synced workspaces can run `pnpm check:changed` from the intended diff. - xAI/LM Studio: avoid buffering ordinary bracketed or `final` prose until stream completion while watching for plain-text tool-call fallbacks. - Doctor: warn and continue when the cron job store exists but cannot be read so later health checks still run. Fixes [#86102](https://github.com/openclaw/openclaw/issues/86102). ([#86384](https://github.com/openclaw/openclaw/issues/86384)) Thanks [@1052326311](https://github.com/1052326311). - Discord: suppress a bot's previous reply body and referenced media from prompt context when a user replies to that bot message, while keeping reply metadata for routing. ([#86238](https://github.com/openclaw/openclaw/issues/86238)) Thanks [@fuller-stack-dev](https://github.com/fuller-stack-dev). - Discord: restore bare numeric channel IDs for outbound message-tool sends while keeping explicit DM targets unambiguous. ([#86571](https://github.com/openclaw/openclaw/issues/86571)) Thanks [@joshavant](https://github.com/joshavant). - Docker E2E: avoid rebuilding the Control UI twice while preparing the shared OpenClaw package tarball for package-backed scenario runs. - Tests: avoid rebuilding the Control UI twice during the installer Docker smoke now that `pnpm build` includes `ui:build`. - Tests: give QA config mutation RPCs enough native Windows budget to finish gateway config writes and restart settle after hot scenario runs. - Tests: keep the gateway restart-inflight QA scenario focused on restart recovery on native Windows by allowing expected embedded prompt handoff errors and using the Windows-safe timeout budget. - QA-Lab: make the synthetic OpenAI provider honor generic `reply exactly:` directives after required kickoff reads so restart-recovery scenarios do not fall through to generic repo-summary prose. - Gateway: abort active `agent` RPC runs during forced restart shutdown so stale in-process turns cannot keep writing a session after the Gateway lifecycle restarts. - Crabbox: sync clean sparse worktrees through a temporary full checkout even when reusing an existing lease so tracked build-time files are not omitted. - Build: route `scripts/ui.js` through the shared pnpm runner and keep Control UI chunking helpers in sparse-included source so native Windows Corepack builds can produce `dist/control-ui`. - Tests: give the memory fallback QA scenario enough turn budget to exercise native Windows gateway runs instead of failing on the client timeout while the mock agent is still dispatching. - Tests: collect QA gateway CPU/RSS metrics on native Windows and give the channel baseline enough turn budget to report slow gateway runs instead of timing out before proof. - Install/update: bypass npm `min-release-age` policies with `--min-release-age=0` instead of `--before` so hosted installers keep working on npm versions that reject the combined config. ([#84749](https://github.com/openclaw/openclaw/issues/84749)) Thanks [@TeodoroRodrigo](https://github.com/TeodoroRodrigo). - Diagnostics: reclaim wedged session lanes when stale active-run bookkeeping blocks queued work despite no forward progress. Fixes [#85639](https://github.com/openclaw/openclaw/issues/85639). Thanks [@openperf](https://github.com/openperf). - WebChat: keep message-tool replies visible in the chat while still summarizing internal tool results for the model. Fixes [#86347](https://github.com/openclaw/openclaw/issues/86347). Thanks [@shakkernerd](https://github.com/shakkernerd). - Gateway/perf: fail startup benchmark samples when the Gateway process exits before benchmark teardown, including signal deaths after readiness probes. - Gateway/perf: fail restart benchmark samples when the Gateway exits before benchmark teardown, including clean exits and signal deaths after successful restart probes. - Agents/tests: keep model catalog visibility on static selection helpers so catalog visibility checks avoid the broad model-selection barrel import. - Agents/commitments: serialize commitment store load-modify-save writes so concurrent heartbeat and CLI updates no longer lose dismissal, sent, or attempt state. ([#81153](https://github.com/openclaw/openclaw/issues/81153)) Thanks [@ai-hpc](https://github.com/ai-hpc). - xAI/LM Studio: promote plain-text tool-call fallbacks into structured tool calls and strip leaked internal tool syntax before user-facing delivery. ([#86222](https://github.com/openclaw/openclaw/issues/86222)) Thanks [@fuller-stack-dev](https://github.com/fuller-stack-dev). - CLI: suppress benign self-update version-skew warnings during package post-update finalization. - Gateway/perf: tighten restart and startup benchmark failure handling so long profiling runs, failed probes, and fresh Linux runners no longer produce false passing or `n/a` results. - Checks: keep intentional Knip unused-file findings optional so full CI and sparse proof workspaces stay aligned. - Docker: restore writable `~/.config` in runtime images. Fixes [#85968](https://github.com/openclaw/openclaw/issues/85968). Thanks [@hkoessler](https://github.com/hkoessler) and [@Bartok9](https://github.com/Bartok9). - Plugin SDK: keep legacy root diagnostic subscriptions connected when built plugin SDK aliases resolve diagnostic helpers through a separate module graph. - Diagnostics: export alertable OTel and Prometheus signals for blocked tools, model failover, stale sessions, liveness warnings, oversized payloads, and webhook ingress while fixing shared OTLP endpoints with query strings. - Tests: normalize macOS canonical temp paths in exec allowlists, fs-safe trash assertions, installed plugin matching, Telegram topic-name stores, and built ACPX MCP server expectations so native macOS proof runners cover the intended behavior. - Codex/app-server: preserve message-tool-only source reply delivery mode on active runs so sub-agent completion wakeups can steer the active Codex turn instead of being rejected. ([#86287](https://github.com/openclaw/openclaw/issues/86287)) Thanks [@ferminquant](https://github.com/ferminquant). - Tests: sample the Windows kitchen-sink RPC gateway directly and serialize RSS probes so native runs keep the memory guard active. - Tests: normalize bundled plugin lifecycle probe paths and state-root lookup so native Windows release sweeps accept valid packaged plugin installs. - Agents/Claude CLI: route live native Bash permission requests through OpenClaw exec policy so Claude turns no longer stall on `control_request`, and document that OpenClaw exec policy is authoritative. Fixes [#80819](https://github.com/openclaw/openclaw/issues/80819). ([#86330](https://github.com/openclaw/openclaw/issues/86330), from [#81971](https://github.com/openclaw/openclaw/issues/81971)) Thanks [@guthirry](https://github.com/guthirry) and [@sallyom](https://github.com/sallyom). - Security audit: warn when YOLO OpenClaw exec policy overrides a restrictive raw Claude `--permission-mode` for managed live sessions. ([#86557](https://github.com/openclaw/openclaw/issues/86557)) Thanks [@sallyom](https://github.com/sallyom). - Config: keep benign legacy metadata write anomalies out of default doctor and config command output while preserving explicit anomaly logging for diagnostics. - Codex: log when implicit app-server `never` approvals are promoted for OpenClaw tool policy, including whether the trigger was a `before_tool_call` hook or trusted tool policy. - Codex harness: make subscription usage-limit errors without reset times explain that OpenClaw cannot determine the reset and point users to wait until Codex is available, use another Codex account, or switch to another configured model/provider. Thanks [@amknight](https://github.com/amknight). - Google Vertex: support production ADC modes such as Workload Identity Federation, service-account credentials, and metadata-server ADC for the native Vertex transport. ([#83971](https://github.com/openclaw/openclaw/issues/83971)) Thanks [@damianFelixPago](https://github.com/damianFelixPago). - Telegram: route normal `[telegram][diag]` polling diagnostics through `runtime.log` while keeping non-diag warnings and persistence failures on `runtime.error`, so healthy polling startup no longer looks like an error. Fixes [#82957](https://github.com/openclaw/openclaw/issues/82957). ([#82958](https://github.com/openclaw/openclaw/issues/82958)) Thanks [@galiniliev](https://github.com/galiniliev). - Providers/Ollama: strip inline Kimi cloud reasoning prefixes from streamed and final visible replies while keeping ordinary Kimi answers append-only. ([#86286](https://github.com/openclaw/openclaw/issues/86286)) Thanks [@jason-allen-oneal](https://github.com/jason-allen-oneal). - Gateway: require Talk secret authority before setup-code handoff can include Talk secrets. ([#85690](https://github.com/openclaw/openclaw/issues/85690)) Thanks [@ngutman](https://github.com/ngutman). - Agents: keep fallback error reporting scoped to the active model candidate so stale prior-provider quota/auth text is not reported for later fallback attempts. ([#86134](https://github.com/openclaw/openclaw/issues/86134)) Thanks [@zhangguiping-xydt](https://github.com/zhangguiping-xydt). - iMessage: dedupe watcher startup when `channels.imessage.accounts` lists both `default` and a named account that point at the same local Messages source, so the gateway no longer spawns two `imsg rpc` processes or doubles inbound replies; the dedupe is scoped to watcher startup, leaving duplicate accounts addressable for outbound sends, status, and capability listings, and `openclaw doctor` flags the redundant account with a rebinding hint. Fixes [#65141](https://github.com/openclaw/openclaw/issues/65141). ([#86705](https://github.com/openclaw/openclaw/issues/86705)) Thanks [@swang430](https://github.com/swang430). </details> --- ### Configuration 📅 **Schedule**: Branch creation - At any time (no schedule defined), Automerge - At any time (no schedule defined). 🚦 **Automerge**: Disabled by config.

…5777) The auto-reply "delivery failed" log path passes a raw Error under the `err` field. tslog's default JSON serialization renders bare Error instances as `{}` because Error own data properties are non-enumerable. Every delivery failure in production therefore logs `err: {}`, forcing operators to guess the underlying Baileys error from timestamp alone. Convert Error to `{ type, message, stack }` plus own-enumerable properties at the log site, so Boom-style subclass diagnostics (output.statusCode, data) and custom OutboundDeliveryError fields (stage, results) survive. Non-Error rejection values pass through unchanged. Tests cover Error, Error subclass (Boom-style), string rejection, and object rejection paths.
