Overview

Global Summary

Codex synthesis

OpenClaw activity was concentrated in openclaw/openclaw, with additional work in clawsweeper, crabbox, agent-skills, Tachikoma, hermit, clawhub, and openclaw-windows-node. The main themes were provider/tool-call handling, realtime/talk channels, execution policy, Windows and gateway quality, review automation, and release/security-adjacent hardening.

  • Core platform: openclaw/openclaw carried provider and tool-call work including #86409 feat: promote provider tool-call stream wrapper, #86410 fix: derive plugin media trust from metadata, #86222 Prevent plain text tool call leaks, and #83971 fix(google-vertex): support production ADC modes.
  • Realtime and channels: Telegram, WebChat, Android, iOS, voice-call, and iMessage work included #83873 fix(telegram): preserve inbound text entities, WebChat reply/media issues #86347 and #86315, #86355 [codex] improve iOS realtime talk mode, #86285 fix(voice-call): avoid OpenAI realtime double greeting, and #86150 Repair anchorless iMessage watch payload routing.
  • Quality and Windows: Gateway/perf and Windows hardening covered restart benchmark failures, RSS sampling, duplicate UI build avoidance, Windows gateway metrics, Windows stack-size respawn, linked plugin source checkouts on Windows, and openclaw-windows-node XAML localization regression coverage.
  • Review automation: openclaw/clawsweeper work added catch-all review labels, merge-risk justification, AGENTS policy status, review metrics digest, and PR merge drift context through issues #187, #189, #191 and PRs #192-#196.
  • Execution and security policy: Exec and policy changes included macOS durable approval hiding, bound Codex exec host policy, stale approval prompt dismissal, normalized auto mode, admin scope for persisted directive defaults, Claude live Bash effective policy, and Docker config ownership fixes.
  • Discord coordination: No Discord channel messages were recorded, so cross-maintainer coordination visible in this report comes from GitHub PRs, issues, merges, and commits rather than Discord threads.
