OpenClaw 2026.4.19-beta.2 Released — Stream Fixes, Nested Lane Fixes

April 19, 2026 — OpenClaw shipped 2026.4.19-beta.2, a pre-release targeting two significant runtime issues.

Key Changes

  • Agents/openai-completions: Now always sends stream_options.include_usage on streaming requests. This fixes local and custom OpenAI-compatible backends that were reporting 0% context usage instead of real usage numbers. Fixed by @kagura-agent.

  • Agents/nested lanes: Nested agent work is now scoped per target session, preventing a long-running nested run on one session from head-of-line blocking unrelated sessions across the gateway. Fixed by @stainlu.

  • Agents/status: Preserves carried-forward session token totals for providers that omit usage metadata — so /status and openclaw sessions keep showing the last known context usage instead of dropping to unknown/0%.

  • Agents/channels: Cross-agent subagent spawns now route through the target agent’s bound channel account, preserving peer and workspace/role-scoped bindings. Child sessions no longer inherit the caller’s account in shared rooms, workspaces, or multi-account setups. Fixed by @lukeboyett and @gumadeiras.

  • Telegram/callbacks: Permanent callback edit errors are now treated as completed updates, so stale command pagination buttons no longer wedge the update watermark.

  • Browser/CDP: WSL-to-Windows Chrome endpoints now correctly appear online under strict SSRF defaults.

  • Install/update: Legacy update verification remains compatible with the QA Lab runtime shim.
