📦 OpenClaw v2026.4.2 — April 2, 2026

A major feature release introducing Task Flow orchestration, Android Assistant integration, plugin boundary hardening, and a host of provider routing fixes. Ships as npm 2026.4.2.

🔴 Breaking Changes

  • xAI plugin: x_search settings moved from tools.web.x_search.* to plugins.entries.xai.config.xSearch.*. Run openclaw doctor --fix to auto-migrate.
  • Web fetch plugin: Firecrawl config moved from tools.web.fetch.firecrawl.* to plugins.entries.firecrawl.config.webFetch.*. Run openclaw doctor --fix to migrate.

✨ New Features

  • Task Flow: Core Task Flow substrate restored with managed-vs-mirrored sync modes, durable flow state/revision tracking, and openclaw flows inspection/recovery primitives for background orchestration.
  • Task Flow: Managed child task spawning with sticky cancel intent — external orchestrators can stop scheduling immediately and let parent flows settle gracefully.
  • Task Flow plugin: New api.runtime.taskFlow seam so plugins can create and drive managed Task Flows from host-resolved context.
  • Android: Assistant-role entrypoints added with Google Assistant App Actions metadata — OpenClaw can now be launched from the Android assistant trigger with prompts handed into the chat composer.
  • Exec defaults: Gateway/node host exec now defaults to YOLO mode (security=full, ask=off) for a no-prompt default experience.
  • Plugins/hooks: New before_agent_reply hook so plugins can short-circuit the LLM with synthetic replies after inline actions.
  • Feishu/comments: Dedicated Drive comment-event flow with comment-thread context resolution, in-thread replies, and feishu_drive comment actions for document collaboration.
  • Matrix: Spec-compliant m.mentions metadata across text sends, media captions, edits, and poll fallback text for reliable client notifications.
  • Compaction: New agents.defaults.compaction.notifyUser option — “🧹 Compacting context…” notice is now opt-in instead of always shown.
  • Compaction: agents.defaults.compaction.model now resolved consistently for manual /compact and all context-engine compaction paths.
  • WhatsApp: reactionLevel guidance added for agent reactions.
  • Channels: Provider-specific session conversation grammar moved to plugin-owned session-key surfaces; Telegram topic routing and Feishu scoped inheritance preserved.

🔧 Fixes

  • Providers/transport: Centralized request auth, proxy, TLS, and header shaping; insecure TLS/runtime transport overrides blocked.
  • Providers/Copilot: Native GitHub Copilot API hosts classified in shared endpoint resolver; token-derived proxy endpoint parsing hardened.
  • Providers/Anthropic: Native-vs-proxy endpoint classification centralized so proxied hosts no longer inherit native Anthropic defaults.
  • Providers/streaming headers: Default and attribution header merging centralized across OpenAI websocket, embedded-runner, and proxy stream paths.
  • Providers/media HTTP: Base URL normalization and default auth/header injection centralized across audio, Gemini media/image, and Moonshot video paths.
  • Providers/replay hooks: New surfaces for transcript policy, replay cleanup, and reasoning-mode dispatch.
  • Exec approvals: DM-first native chat approvals auto-enabled when supported channels can infer approvers from existing owner config.
  • Diffs: Plugin-owned viewerBaseUrl added for stable proxy/public origin viewer links without passing baseUrl on every call.
