What's new for you
`openclaw infer` hub for provider-backed inference; memory-wiki stack restored (CLI, sync, claims, search); bundled webhook ingress plugin for TaskFlows; persisted compaction checkpoints with Sessions UI branch/restore; pluggable compaction providers; `agents.defaults.systemPromptOverride`; Gemma 4 and Arcee AI provider additions; Discord event cover images; many agent history and Control UI fixes.
- CLI — `openclaw infer` for model, media, web, and embedding workflows
- Memory — bundled `memory-wiki` with plugin, CLI, and structured claim/evidence tooling
- Webhooks — bundled ingress plugin drives TaskFlows from shared-secret HTTP routes
- Compaction — checkpoints in UI; plugins can replace summarization via `agents.defaults.compaction.provider`
Release highlights
| Feature | Details |
|---|---|
| openclaw infer | First-class openclaw infer hub for provider-backed workflows across model, media, web, and embedding tasks — one CLI entry point instead of ad-hoc scripts, with profile-aware behavior aligned to runtime execution. |
| memory-wiki stack | Restores the bundled memory-wiki plugin with CLI, sync/query/apply, structured claims and evidence, linting, contradiction clustering, staleness dashboards, and freshness-weighted search. |
| Webhook ingress → TaskFlows | Bundled webhook ingress plugin exposes per-route shared-secret HTTP(S) endpoints so external automation can create and drive bound TaskFlows without forking the gateway. |
| Compaction checkpoints & Sessions UI | Persisted compaction checkpoints plus Sessions UI branch and restore actions let operators inspect and recover pre-compaction session state when something goes wrong. |
| Pluggable compaction providers | Register plugins via agents.defaults.compaction.provider to replace the built-in summarization pipeline; OpenClaw falls back to LLM summarization if the plugin fails. |
| systemPromptOverride & heartbeat | agents.defaults.systemPromptOverride supports controlled prompt experiments. Heartbeat gains prompt-section controls so heartbeat runtime can stay enabled without injecting heartbeat instructions on every turn. |
