Open button now toggles an expanded view showing all panels in a full
grid layout with animated transitions. Pin button already saves to
workspace /reports. Lazy-loads additional panel data on first expand
and adds a refresh button in expanded mode.

Syntax highlighting & code viewer:
- Add shiki for syntax-highlighted fenced code blocks in chat messages
- New SyntaxBlock component (lazy shiki, dual light/dark theme)
- New CodeViewer for workspace file panel (routes code files via isCodeFile())
- API routes (browse-file, virtual-file) now return "code" type for known extensions
Diff rendering:
- New DiffCard component for rendering unified diffs with add/remove colors
- diff-blocks.ts parser to extract fenced blocks from markdown
- Chain-of-thought tool steps show inline diffs for edit/write tools
(synthetic from old_string/new_string or direct from tool output)
- Agent runner passes through diff/firstChangedLine from edit tool results
- Document view handles diff blocks alongside report blocks
Rich chat editor (Tiptap):
- Replace plain textarea with Tiptap-based ChatEditor
- File mention extension (@-mention files with autocomplete dropdown)
- File mention list with keyboard navigation and search via suggest-files API
- New suggest-files API endpoint for fuzzy file search
File search & navigation:
- FileSearch component in workspace sidebar (debounced search, keyboard nav)
- Search results navigate sidebar to file location and open in panel
- File picker modal for browsing/selecting workspace files
Drag & drop:
- File tree nodes support native HTML5 drag (application/x-file-mention)
for cross-component drops (e.g. dragging files into chat editor)
Chat attachments reworked:
- Switch from browser File objects to path-based references (name + path)
- Simplified attachment strip (no media previews, shows shortened paths)
Also adds software-engineering skill and related CSS for code blocks/shiki.
- Switch DEFAULT_PACKAGE_NAME to ironclaw in update-cli and update-runner
- Add cliName param to system prompt builder for dynamic CLI references
- Update README clone URL from openclaw-ai-sdk to ironclaw
- Update cron dashboard empty state to reference ironclaw CLI
- Restructure dench skill: flatten knowledge/ paths, add browser use section
- Fix spawnAgentProcess path resolution: walk up to find package root
instead of assuming 2 levels up from apps/web (breaks in standalone
where cwd is deep inside .next/standalone/); use openclaw.mjs in
production since scripts/run-node.mjs isn't shipped in the package
- Add missing readline error handlers in active-runs.ts and
agent-runner.ts to prevent "Unhandled 'error' event" crashes when
the child process fails to start
- Pass OPENCLAW_ROOT env var from gateway to standalone server so the
web app can reliably find the CLI entry point
- Add 32 tests covering path resolution, SSE streaming, error handling,
run lifecycle, replay, and abort

Ship a self-contained standalone server with the npm package so
`npm i -g ironclaw` can serve the web UI without runtime `npm install`
or `next build`. This eliminates the fragile first-boot build step
and cuts the cold-start time for the gateway web app.
Changes:
- next.config.ts: enable `output: "standalone"` and set
`outputFileTracingRoot` to the monorepo root so pnpm workspace
deps are traced correctly. Remove the now-unnecessary manual
webpack externals for Node.js built-ins.
- package.json: update `files` to ship only the standalone build
output, static assets, and public dir (instead of the entire
`apps/web/` tree). Add `web:build` and `web:prepack` to the
`prepack` script so the standalone server is built and its
static/public assets are copied into place before publish. Bump
version to 2026.2.10-1.5.
- server-web-app.ts: rewrite the web app lifecycle to prefer the
pre-built standalone `server.js` in production. Add
`resolveStandaloneServerJs`, `hasStandaloneBuild`,
`hasLegacyNextBuild`, and `isInWorkspace` helpers. In dev
workspaces, fall back to building on-the-fly or legacy
`next start`. Export key functions for testability.
- server-web-app.test.ts: add comprehensive unit tests covering
path resolution, standalone/legacy build detection,
ensureWebAppBuilt scenarios (skip, disabled, dev, standalone,
legacy, missing), startWebAppIfEnabled (skip, disabled, null
config, missing dir, standalone start, missing build error,
default port, graceful stop).
- workspace-sidebar.tsx: update sidebar branding to "Ironclaw".

- Introduced a new RelationSelect component for managing relations in forms.
- Updated EntryDetailModal and ObjectTable components to utilize RelationSelect for relation fields, allowing for inline editing and improved user experience.
- Enhanced API route for fetching relation options based on user input.
- Refactored EditableCell to support relation editing with dropdowns, improving data entry efficiency.
- Added new API endpoint for fetching lightweight options for relation dropdowns.
This update streamlines the handling of relational data within the workspace, enhancing the overall functionality and user interface.
Overhaul the Dench web app with a comprehensive visual redesign and several
major feature additions across the chat interface, workspace, and agent
runtime layer.
Theme & Design System
- Replace the dark-only palette with a full light/dark theme system that
respects system preference via localStorage + inline script (no FOUC).
- Introduce new design tokens: glassmorphism surfaces, semantic colors
(success/warning/error/info), object-type chip palettes, and a tiered
shadow scale (sm/md/lg/xl).
- Add Instrument Serif + Inter via Google Fonts for a refined typographic
hierarchy; headings use the serif face, body uses Inter.
- Rebrand UI from "Ironclaw" to "Dench" across the landing page and
metadata.
Chat & Chain-of-Thought
- Rewrite the chain-of-thought component with inline media detection and
rendering — images, video, audio, and PDFs referenced in agent output
are now displayed directly in the conversation thread.
- Add status indicator parts (e.g. "Preparing response...",
"Optimizing session context...") that render as subtle activity badges
instead of verbose reasoning blocks.
- Integrate react-markdown with remark-gfm for proper markdown rendering
in assistant messages (tables, strikethrough, autolinks, etc.).
- Improve report-block splitting and lazy-loaded ReportCard rendering.
Workspace
- Introduce @tanstack/react-table for the object table, replacing the
hand-rolled table with full column sorting, fuzzy filtering via
match-sorter-utils, row selection, and bulk actions.
- Add a new media viewer component for in-workspace image/video/PDF
preview.
- New API routes: bulk-delete entries, field management (CRUD + reorder),
raw-file serving endpoint for media assets.
- Redesign workspace sidebar, empty state, and entry detail modal with
the new theme tokens and improved layout.
Agent Runtime
- Switch web agent execution from --local to gateway-routed mode so
concurrent chat threads share the gateway's lane-based concurrency
system, eliminating cross-process file-lock contention.
- Advertise "tool-events" capability during WebSocket handshake so the
gateway streams tool start/update/result events to the UI.
- Add new agent callback hooks: onLifecycleStart, onCompactionStart/End,
and onToolUpdate for richer real-time feedback.
- Forward media URLs emitted by agent events into the chat stream.
Dependencies
- Add @tanstack/match-sorter-utils and @tanstack/react-table to the web
app.

so installed users get instant startup (no build step)
- Gateway skips build when pre-built .next/ exists; builds on first
run for dev/git-checkout users
- Onboarding "Open the Web UI" now opens the Ironclaw web app
- Fix pre-existing Next.js build errors (ES2023 lib, Tiptap v3 types,
Suspense boundary, ReportConfig type alignment)
- Rename deploy target from openclaw-ai-sdk to ironclaw

Rebrand the project from the OpenClaw/Lobster identity to Ironclaw with
a new iron-metallic visual language across CLI and web UI.
## CLI identity
- Rename default CLI name from `openclaw` to `ironclaw` (keep `openclaw`
in KNOWN_CLI_NAMES and regex for backward compat)
- Set process.title to `ironclaw`; update all `[openclaw]` log prefixes
to `[ironclaw]`
- Add `IRONCLAW_*` env var checks (IRONCLAW_HIDE_BANNER,
IRONCLAW_NO_RESPAWN, IRONCLAW_NODE_OPTIONS_READY,
IRONCLAW_TAGLINE_INDEX) with fallback to legacy `OPENCLAW_*` variants
## Animated ASCII banner
- Replace the old lobster block-art with a figlet "ANSI Shadow" font
IRONCLAW ASCII wordmark
- Add `gradient-string` dependency for terminal gradient rendering
- Implement iron shimmer animation: a bright highlight sweeps across the
ASCII art (~2.5 s at 12 fps, 3 full gradient cycles) using a rotating
iron-to-silver color array
- Make `emitCliBanner` async to support the animation; update all call
sites (preaction hook, route, run-main) to await it
- Move banner emission earlier in `runCli()` so it appears for all
invocations (bare command, subcommands, help) with the existing
bannerEmitted guard preventing double-emission
## Iron palette and theme
- Rename LOBSTER_PALETTE → IRON_PALETTE in `src/terminal/palette.ts`
with new cool-steel color tokens (steel grey accent, bright silver
highlight, dark iron dim, steel bl info)
- Re-export LOBSTER_PALETTE as backward-compatible alias
- Update `src/terminal/theme.ts` to import and use IRON_PALETTE
## Tagline cleanup
- Remove lobster-themed, Apple-specific, and platform-joke taglines
- Fix smart-quote and em-dash formatting across remaining taglines
- Add "Holiday taglines" comment grouping for date-gated entries
## Web UI
- Add `framer-motion`, `fuse.js`, and `next-themes` to web app deps
- Add custom font files: Bookerly (regular/bold/italic), SpaceGrotesk
(light/regular/medium/semibold/bold), FoundationTitlesHand
- Update chat panel labels: "OpenClaw Chat" → "Ironclaw Chat",
"Message OpenClaw..." → "Message Ironclaw..."
- Update sidebar header: "OpenClaw Dench" → "Ironclaw"
- CSS formatting cleanup: expand single-lins, add consistent
blank lines between selector blocks, normalize child combinator
spacing (li > ul → li>ul)
Add virtual folder system that surfaces Skills, Memories, and Chat sessions
in the workspace sidebar alongside real dench files. Rearchitect the home
page into a landing hub and move the ChatPanel into the workspace as the
default view.
New API route — virtual-file:
- apps/web/app/api/workspace/virtual-file/route.ts: new GET/POST API that
resolves virtual paths (~skills/*, ~memories/*) to absolute filesystem
paths in ~/.openclaw/skills/ d ~/.openclaw/workspace/. Includes path
traversal protection and directory allowlisting.
Tree API — virtual folder builders:
- apps/web/app/api/workspace/tree/route.ts: add `virtual` field to TreeNode
type. Add ildSkillsVirtualFolder() scanning ~/.openclaw/skills/ and
~/.openclaw/workspace/skills/ with SKILL.md frontmatter parsing (name +
emoji). Add buildMemoriesVirtualFolder() scanning MEMORY.md and daily
logs from ~/.openclaw/workspace/memory/. Virtual folders are appended
after real workspace entries and are also returned when no dench root
exists.
File manager tree — virtual node awareness:
- apps/web/app/components/workspace/file-manager-tree.tsx: add isVirtualNode()
helper and RESERVED_FOLDER_NAMES set (Chats, Skills, Memories). Virtual
nodes show a lock badge, disable drag-and-drop, block rename/delete, and
reject reserved names during create/rename. Add ChatBubbleIcon for ~chats/
paths.
Markdown editor — virtual path routing:
- apps/web/app/components/workspace/markdown-editor.tsx: save to
/api/workspace/virtual-file for paths starting with ~ instead of the
regular /api/workspace/file endpoint.
Home page redesign:
- apps/web/app/page.tsx: replace the chat-first layout (SidebarhatPanel)
with a branded landing page showing the OpenClaw Dench heading, tagline,
and a single "Open Workspace" CTA linking to /workspace.
Workspace page — unified layout with integrated chat:
- apps/web/app/workspace/page.tsx: ChatPanel is now the default main view
when no file is selected. Add session fetching from /api/web-sessions and
build an enhanced tree with a virtual "Chats" folder listing all sessions.
Clicking ~chats/<id> loads the session; clicking ~chats starts a new one.
Add isVirtualPath()/fileApiUrl() helpers for virtual file reads. Add a
"Back to chat" button in the top bar alongside the chat sidebar toggle.
Sidebar + empty-state cosmetic updates:
- apps/web/app/components/workspace/workspace-sidebar.tsx: rename BackIcon
to HomeIcon (house SVG), change label from "Back to Chat" to "Home".
- apps/web/app/components/workspace/empty-state.tsx: update link text from
"Back to Chat" to "Back to Home".
