[Release] openclaw/openclaw v2026.6.1-beta.3: openclaw 2026.6.1-beta.3

OpenClaw v2026.6.1-beta.3 introduces significant stability improvements for agent runtimes, CLI tools, and multi-channel delivery across Telegram, WhatsApp, iMessage, Slack, Discord, and Teams. The release features a new Skill Workshop with proposal-based skill creation, externalized plugins (Tokenjuice and Copilot), SQLite-backed state management for better recovery, and enhanced Control UI with improved chat composition and latency tracking. Multiple fixes address tool-call recovery, streaming argument parsing, and process lifecycle management to prevent hanging runs and stale session bindings.

Key Points

• •Agents and CLI runtimes now recover cleanly from interrupted tool calls, stale session bindings, and media delivery retries through improved error handling
• •Multi-channel delivery stabilized across 9+ platforms (Telegram, WhatsApp, iMessage, Slack, Discord, Teams, Google Chat/Meet, iOS) with realtime Talk support
• •New Skill Workshop enables governed skill creation with proposal lists, revision handoff, searchable file previews, and approval workflows via agent tools
• •Provider and plugin requests now have bounded timers, retries, OAuth lifetimes, and media downloads to prevent hanging runs
• •SQLite-backed state management for plugins, iMessage monitors, and inbound queues improves recovery with less filesystem scanning on restarts
• •Skills and plugin loading handle stale disabled snapshots and loader failures more clearly with better recovery guidance for operators
• •Control UI improvements include calmer composer controls, local draft state, first-output latency instrumentation, and Dreaming-tab agent selector
• •Externalized official plugins: @openclaw/tokenjuice and @openclaw/copilot with npm and ClawHub publish metadata
• •Workboard adds orchestration primitives and agent coordination tools for multi-agent planning and run tracking
• •Release/CI/E2E pipelines now cap logs, response bodies, and artifact checks to prevent stalling with bounded proof instead of excessive output
