OpenClaw v2026.6.11: Slack Relay Mode, File-Driven Wake-Ups, and Reliable Agent Turns

OpenClaw v2026.6.11-beta.1 landed June 24 with a broad set of channel, operator, and reliability improvements — the most channel-focused release in recent memory.

Slack Relay Mode and Mattermost /oc_queue

The headline channel improvements land Slack relay mode and native Mattermost /oc_queue support alongside per-DM model overrides. Together, they give operators more precise control over how messages flow in and out of OpenClaw without touching core agent logic. The work involved five contributors across three PRs (#94707, #95546, #95120).

File-Driven and Remote Wake-Up Paths

Two operator-focused features landed in this cycle:

  • openclaw agent --message-file allows operators to inject a message into a running agent session via a file — useful for scripted workflows, CI pipelines, or any scenario where you want to hand off work without a live chat interface
  • RAFT CLI wake bridge adds a remote wake-up path, enabling external systems to trigger agent sessions programmatically

Both add practical file-driven and remote-triggered paths that were previously missing from the core CLI (#93351, #95497).

Safer Plugin Distribution

Official plugins continue to be externalized cleanly from the core runtime. This cycle adds bundled plugin icon metadata so installed clients can display proper visuals without reaching back into the main package (#95683, #95845).

More Reliable Agent Turns

A cluster of PRs tightens agent turn reliability:

  • Codex partial deltas — partial streaming responses are handled more gracefully
  • Harness activation — cleaner initialization of the agent harness
  • Long-context prompt-cache stability — reduces lost progress and inconsistent runs on extended conversations

Together these represent meaningful quality-of-life improvements for users running longer autonomous sessions (#95404, #95652, #95624).

Android Settings Panel Improvements

The Android companion app gains more detailed settings panels, improving configuration visibility and control on mobile — a meaningful quality-of-life win for users who manage their agents on the go (#95148).

The release logged over 40 merged PRs across channel delivery, model routing, session safety, and provider coverage. Contributors @vincentkoc, @sjf-oa, @amknight, @agonza1, and many others across both the beta and stable tracks continue to expand OpenClaw’s operational surface area.
