[Release] openclaw/openclaw v2026.6.5-beta.2: openclaw 2026.6.5-beta.2

OpenClaw v2026.6.5-beta.2 introduces critical fixes for model reasoning leakage, MCP tool result handling, Anthropic extended-thinking recovery, and adds Parallel as a bundled web-search provider. The release improves durability of auth/plugin state via SQLite, enhances Matrix voice/thread support, and strengthens upgrade/service paths with safer migration and configuration handling. Multiple provider integrations (Google Vertex, WhatsApp, Mattermost) receive reliability improvements alongside comprehensive test isolation and CI/E2E enhancements.

Key Points

• •QQBot strips model reasoning/thinking scaffolding before delivery to prevent raw `<thinking>` content leakage into channel replies
• •MCP tool results now coerce non-text/image blocks (resource_link, audio, malformed images) at materialize boundary to prevent Anthropic 400s and poisoned session history
• •Anthropic extended-thinking sessions recover after prompt-cache expiry or Gateway restart by waiting for `message_start` stream events before triggering recovery retry
• •Parallel integrated as bundled `web_search` provider with `PARALLEL_API_KEY` discovery, guarded endpoint handling, cache-safe session IDs, and onboarding support
• •Auth profiles and npm plugin install records now persist in SQLite with trusted pins, improving durability across service restarts
• •Matrix channels support voice-message preflight and thread-aware read/reply behavior with full QA coverage for voice and thread flows
• •Google Vertex ADC users get static catalog rows, runtime model resolution, and more reliable single-provider cooldown recovery
• •macOS node mode no longer silently self-reconnects away from healthy direct Gateway sessions, reducing companion app session churn
• •Cron legacy JSON stores migrate during doctor preflight; service env placeholders no longer mask state-dir secrets; WhatsApp startup waits are bounded
• •Release numbering switched to `YYYY.M.PATCH` monthly patch format with June 2026 floor at `2026.6.5`; comprehensive test isolation reduces cross-test leakage
