[Release] openclaw/openclaw v2026.5.16-beta.4: openclaw 2026.5.16-beta.4

OpenClaw v2026.5.16-beta.4 introduces security audit suppressions, improved subagent handoff workflows, new media generation providers (fal, OpenRouter), enhanced Control UI with quota usage display, Mac app remote preconfiguration, xAI Grok OAuth support, and localized CLI setup for multiple languages. The release includes significant fixes for memory scanning, provider authentication, gateway performance, and various platform-specific issues across Slack, Telegram, WhatsApp, and GitHub Copilot integrations.

Key Points

• •Security audit suppressions now preserve suppressed findings in JSON while keeping them out of active summaries, enabling intentional risk acceptance tracking
• •Subagent completion handoffs labeled as ready for parent review with requester verification before marking tasks done, improving multi-agent coordination
• •New music generation providers added: fal (MiniMax/ACE/Stable Audio) and OpenRouter (Lyria), expanding shared `music_generate` tool capabilities
• •Control UI now displays provider quota usage in Overview card and Chat header, with recovery of stale in-progress chat state after missed terminal events
• •Mac app remote setup preconfigurable via `openclaw-mac configure-remote` with LAN/Tailnet gateway support and SSH tunnel process ownership
• •xAI Grok OAuth login for SuperGrok subscribers eliminates need for `XAI_API_KEY` environment variable for xAI model and media provider access
• •CLI cron improvements: `openclaw cron run --wait` with timeout/poll controls and exact `--run-id` filtering for blocking on queued manual runs
• •Setup wizard and channel setup flows localized for English, Simplified Chinese, and Traditional Chinese with full i18n support
• •Skill hydration caching across warm gateway turns reduces redundant snapshot rebuilds while respecting config-gated skill boundaries
• •Group chat inbound event classification with opt-in `messages.groupChat.unmentionedInbound: "room_event"` enables quiet context with visible message-tool responses
