[Release] openclaw/openclaw v2026.7.1-1: openclaw 2026.7.1-1

OpenClaw v2026.7.1-1 release addresses five critical fixes improving system stability and reliability. Key improvements include fixing Codex progress replies to complete full turns, repairing Memory Core startup conflicts, handling WSL permission errors gracefully, recovering from legacy migration issues, and resolving managed plugin update problems. These fixes prevent fatal restart loops, enable proper error recovery, and ensure smooth upgrades across the platform.

Key Points

• •Codex progress replies now keep app-server turns running after delivering progress messages, allowing GPT/Codex to reach authoritative terminal responses instead of stopping mid-turn
• •Memory Core startup repair recovers from derived legacy-index and cache-sidecar conflicts without trapping Gateway in fatal restart loops
• •Structural vector-store corruption remains retryable, preventing permanent system failures
• •WSL state permissions now tolerate EROFS errors from guarded chmod operations only when existing state path is already private
• •Fail-closed handling preserved for broad permissions to maintain security posture
• •Legacy migration recovery keeps reviewed migration residue nonfatal during startup, allowing healthy upgrades to proceed
• •Managed plugin updates recover stale npm lock metadata, enabling official managed plugins to update cleanly
• •All fixes maintain backward compatibility while improving system resilience and error recovery mechanisms
