OpenClaw v2026.10.1 gives Code Mode a memory that survives restarts

OpenClaw v2026.10.1 introduces persistent memory for Code Mode that survives Gateway restarts, enabling stateful code execution across sessions. The update also enables MCP Apps to call their own tools, improving modularity and self-referential capabilities. These enhancements strengthen the platform's ability to maintain context and enable more sophisticated agent workflows.

Key Points

• •Code Mode now maintains variable state and values across Gateway restarts
• •Persistent memory eliminates need to reinitialize code context after service interruptions
• •MCP Apps can now invoke their own tools, enabling self-referential and recursive patterns
• •Improved modularity allows agents to compose and reuse their own capabilities
• •Stateful code execution enables more complex multi-step workflows and agent behaviors
• •Gateway restart resilience reduces data loss and improves reliability for long-running agents
