- Change thinkingLevel from xhigh to high for session patches
- Fix indentation of event handler blocks in wireSubscribeOnlyProcess
and wireChildProcess
- Add user-friendly message when agent run is terminated by the gateway
When DENCHCLAW_DAEMONLESS=1, route the terminal WebSocket through
the app host instead of connecting directly to 127.0.0.1, allowing
it to work in environments without direct port access.
OpenClaw's default agent timeout is 600s (10 min), which consistently kills
long-running agent responses — especially multi-file code generation and
complex multi-tool-call workflows. This triggers:
- 'terminated' errors mid-stream (webchat shows terminated banner)
- Retry storms: same runId retries ~60s apart, then new runIds also fail
- Follow-up messages silently dropped (shouldSkipMessageByAbortCutoff)
Set the default to 86400s (24 hours) during bootstrap so all DenchClaw
installations get a sane timeout out of the box. Note: the runtime code
supports timeoutSeconds=0 (no timeout) but the config schema validation
rejects 0 (exclusiveMinimum: 0), so 86400 is the practical maximum.
Also rename ensureSubagentDefaults -> ensureAgentDefaults since the function
now configures both agent-level and subagent-level settings.

Add optional name, email, avatar, and denchOrgId fields to
telemetry.json. When present, all telemetry layers (CLI, web server,
web client, OpenClaw plugin) call PostHog identify() with $name,
$email, $avatar, and dench_org_id person properties.
Remove $process_person_profile:false from all layers so every install
gets a PostHog person profile. Enable session replay with masking
controlled by privacy mode (all text/inputs masked when on, nothing
masked when off).
Move identity injection from static IDENTITY.md generation at workspace seed
time to a runtime `dench-identity` OpenClaw plugin that prepends the system
prompt via the `before_prompt_build` hook. This keeps identity always current
without re-seeding, encourages dynamic skill discovery, and positions
DenchClaw as a CEO orchestrator that delegates to specialist subagents.
Enables apps to access the full DenchClaw platform — CRUD on workspace objects, AI chat with streaming, inter-app messaging, KV store, HTTP proxy, webhooks, cron scheduling, and widget display mode.
- Back up existing app dir before replacing (enables rollback on crash)
- Rollback to previous working runtime when new version fails readiness probe
- Early exit in waitForWebRuntime() when spawned process dies (saves 15s)
- Include web-app.err.log tail in probe failure reason for diagnostics
- Clean up backup after successful probe
Made-with: Cursor
Use per-session gateway lanes (web:sessionId) so concurrent chat tabs
stream independently. Add a 15s recovery window after lifecycle errors
to accept continuation runIds. Route slash commands through chat.send
RPC and forward chat events to the UI.
Chat-slot agents were being persisted as durable entries in openclaw.json,
causing spurious workspace directories (e.g. chat-slot-main-1) to appear.
Only explicit workspace creation via init now creates durable agent entries.
Workspace discovery and session routing ignore chat-slot internals.
Refine the handling of the DENCHCLAW_DAEMONLESS=1 environment variable and --skip-daemon-install flag to ensure consistent behavior across all commands, including bootstrap, update, start, restart, and stop, in environments lacking systemd/launchd.
Support DENCHCLAW_DAEMONLESS=1 env var and --skip-daemon-install flag
across all commands (bootstrap, update, start, restart, stop) to skip
gateway daemon management and LaunchAgent registration in environments
without systemd/launchd.
Pre-onboard config (gateway.mode, gateway.port, plugin trust) used to call
`openclaw config set` before `openclaw onboard` created the profile, causing
"Failed to set ..." errors on fresh installs (#101). All pre-onboard config is
now staged via raw JSON writes. Hidden gateway restarts inside syncBundledPlugins
are removed; one explicit restart happens after all post-onboard config, followed
by retried health probes so bootstrap no longer falsely reports "gateway closed"
while the gateway is simply finishing startup.
Server-side WebSocket connections should not set Origin (a browser security
concept). The header caused the gateway to treat the web runtime as a browser
client, blocking silent local device pairing after device identity auth was
added.
extractUsageFromMessages was summing ALL assistant messages, so each
$ai_generation event reported a growing cumulative total — PostHog's
sum() then massively over-counted costs (e.g. $634 reported vs $73 actual).
Integrate version tracking for DenchClaw and OpenClaw into the telemetry system. The versions are now read from the package.json and environment variables, and are included in the PostHog client initialization and telemetry events. This enhancement allows for better monitoring and analytics of the versions in use.
On fresh Linux installs (e.g. running as root), `openclaw config set
agents.defaults.workspace` fails because the target directory doesn't
exist yet — some OpenClaw builds validate the path on disk before
accepting the value. Create the directory eagerly with mkdirSync before
the config set call.
Also surface the exit code in runOpenClawOrThrow errors when stderr is
empty, so silent failures are easier to diagnose.
Fixes#101
Set gateway mode and port before onboarding so the first daemon start succeeds, then reapply them after onboarding so wizard defaults cannot drift DenchClaw off its expected local gateway.
