openclaw 2026.6.1: Session Recovery and Channel Stability Overhaul

OpenClaw released openclaw 2026.6.1 on June 3, addressing a major area of user pain: interrupted sessions and unstable channel delivery.

Key improvements in 2026.6.1:

  • Agents and CLI-backed runtimes recover more cleanly from interrupted tool calls
  • Stale session bindings are now properly released on recovery
  • Compaction handoffs between model turns are more reliable
  • Media delivery retries work correctly across all channels

Channel stability improvements span Telegram, WhatsApp, iMessage, Slack, Discord, and Microsoft Teams — making multi-channel deployments substantially more reliable.

Additionally, openclaw 2026.6.2-beta.1 shipped the same day, introducing a new operator install policy for plugins and skills. This replaces the older dangerous-code scanner path with clearer diagnostics, doctor CLI support, and improved troubleshooting surfaces for package, archive, source, upload, and marketplace installs.

The beta also ships with updated ClawHub and skill marketplace integration surfaces, resolving long-standing ambiguity in how skills get installed and verified.

Users on managed deployments should see fewer dropped sessions and better resilience when agents are interrupted mid-task.
