[Release] openclaw/openclaw v2026.6.1: openclaw 2026.6.1

OpenClaw v2026.6.1 is a stability and reliability release focusing on improved recovery from interruptions, enhanced multi-channel support across messaging platforms, better resource management with bounded timers and retries, and new Skill Workshop features for governed skill creation and review. The release includes SQLite-backed state persistence for iMessage and plugin metadata, expanded provider coverage (MiniMax M3, Copilot Claude 1M), and significant UI/UX improvements in Chat and Control interfaces with streaming optimizations and draft management.

Key Points

• •Agents and CLI runtimes now recover cleanly from interrupted tool calls, stale sessions, 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 improvements
• •Provider and plugin requests now have bounded timers, retries, OAuth lifetimes, and media downloads to prevent hanging runs
• •Skill Workshop introduces governed skill creation with proposal lists, revision handoff, searchable previews, and review states via new agent tool
• •Chat/Control UI startup optimized with incremental stream deltas, local draft typing, first-output latency tracing, and calmer composer controls
• •SQLite-backed state persistence for iMessage monitor state, plugin install ledgers, and inbound queues reduces filesystem scanning on restarts
• •New provider support includes MiniMax M3, Copilot Claude 1M capabilities, and improved Google/Vertex/OpenRouter model metadata caching
• •Workboard adds multi-agent orchestration primitives and task-backed board runs with comment tracking
• •Code mode introduces internal namespaces for scoped sessions and exact namespace tool dispatch with MCP API support
• •Comprehensive logging and diagnostics improvements cap response bodies, readiness probes, and artifact checks to prevent stalling on failures
