[Release] openclaw/openclaw v2026.4.24-beta.1: openclaw 2026.4.24-beta.1

OpenClaw v2026.4.24-beta.1 introduces Google Meet as a bundled participant plugin with real-time voice capabilities, adds DeepSeek V4 models to the default catalog, and implements WebRTC-backed realtime voice loops across Talk, Voice Call, and Google Meet. The release includes browser automation improvements (coordinate clicks, longer action budgets, per-profile headless overrides), lighter plugin/model infrastructure at startup, and breaking changes to plugin SDK tool-result transforms requiring migration to `registerAgentToolResultMiddleware`.

Key Points

• •Google Meet plugin now bundled with personal Google auth, Chrome/Twilio realtime transports, artifact/attendance exports, and OAuth recovery tooling for existing tabs
• •DeepSeek V4 Flash and V4 Pro added to bundled model catalog with V4 Flash as onboarding default; thinking/replay behavior fixed for follow-up tool-call turns
• •WebRTC realtime voice loops implemented across Talk, Voice Call, and Google Meet with full OpenClaw agent consultation via `openclaw_agent_consult` handoff
• •Browser automation enhanced with viewport coordinate clicks, 60s default action budget, per-profile headless overrides, and improved tab reuse/recovery
• •Plugin/model infrastructure optimized: static model catalogs, manifest-backed model rows, lazy provider dependencies reduce startup overhead
• •Breaking change: Plugin SDK must migrate from `api.registerEmbeddedExtensionFactory()` to `api.registerAgentToolResultMiddleware()` with explicit contract declarations for consistent Pi/Codex behavior
• •Gemini Live realtime voice provider added for backend Voice Call and Google Meet audio bridges with bidirectional audio and function-call support
• •Control UI refined with compact live-tool chips, collapsible tool groups, per-tool toggles, and Steer action for injecting follow-up messages into active runs
• •Model listing performance improved with safe static catalogs, narrower row-source orchestration, and reduced registry enumeration
• •Codex harness now runs context-engine operations in app-server sessions while maintaining native thread state and compaction auditability
