[Release] openclaw/openclaw v2026.6.5: openclaw 2026.6.5

OpenClaw v2026.6.5 is a maintenance release focusing on stability, security, and provider integrations. Key improvements include QQBot reasoning stripping to prevent content leakage, MCP tool result coercion to avoid API errors, Anthropic extended-thinking recovery mechanisms, and Parallel web-search provider bundling. The release also enhances Matrix voice/thread handling, improves auth durability with SQLite storage, and strengthens security around tool access and provider catalogs.

Key Points

• •QQBot strips model reasoning/thinking tags before delivery to prevent raw `<thinking>` content from leaking into channel replies
• •MCP tool results are coerced at materialization boundary to handle non-text/image blocks, preventing Anthropic 400 errors and poisoned session history
• •Anthropic extended-thinking sessions now recover after prompt-cache expiry or Gateway restart by waiting for `message_start` events
• •Parallel web-search provider is now bundled with `PARALLEL_API_KEY` discovery, guarded endpoints, and cache-safe session IDs
• •Google Vertex ADC users regain static catalog rows and runtime model resolution with improved single-provider cooldown recovery
• •Matrix channels support voice-message preflight checks and thread-aware read/reply behavior with QA coverage
• •Auth profiles migrated to SQLite for durability; npm plugin installs maintain trusted pins with prerelease fallback integrity checks
• •Agent/tool/provider loops enforce stricter MCP lease timestamps, prompt-cache tool names, and owner-only HTTP tool gating
• •macOS node mode prevents silent self-reconnection away from healthy direct Gateway sessions, reducing companion app churn
• •Release numbering switched to `YYYY.M.PATCH` monthly patch format; session-metadata SQLite migration deferred from this release
