[Release] openclaw/openclaw v2026.6.1-beta.1: openclaw 2026.6.1-beta.1

OpenClaw v2026.6.1-beta.1 introduces significant stability improvements for agent runtimes, channel delivery, and skill management. Key enhancements include better recovery from interrupted tool calls, steadier multi-channel support (Telegram, WhatsApp, iMessage, Slack, Discord, Teams, etc.), and a new Skill Workshop feature with proposal-based skill creation and review flows. The release also externalizes plugins (Tokenjuice, Copilot), improves SQLite-backed state persistence, and adds comprehensive bounds on timers, retries, and resource consumption to prevent runtime hangs.

Key Points

• •Agent and CLI runtimes now recover cleanly from interrupted tool calls, stale session bindings, and media delivery retries through improved error handling
• •Multi-channel delivery (Telegram, WhatsApp, iMessage, Slack, Discord, Teams, Google Chat/Meet) is more stable with better session management and realtime Talk support
• •New Skill Workshop feature enables governed skill creation with proposal lists, revision handoff, searchable file previews, and review states for safer skill deployment
• •Provider and plugin requests now have bounded timers, retries, OAuth lifetimes, and media downloads to prevent runtime hangs and stalled operations
• •Skills and plugin loading handle stale disabled snapshots and loader failures more clearly, preventing disabled SecretRefs from aborting channel turns
• •SQLite-backed state persistence for plugin install index, iMessage monitor state, and inbound queues reduces filesystem scanning and improves restart recovery
• •Control UI improvements include calmer composer controls, local draft typing state, first-output latency instrumentation, and incremental stream deltas during history loading
• •Provider coverage expanded with MiniMax M3, improved Google/Vertex catalog, OpenRouter SQLite caching, and Copilot Claude 1M capabilities
• •Workboard adds orchestration primitives and agent coordination tools for multi-agent planning and run tracking
• •Release, CI, Docker, and E2E pipelines now cap logs, response bodies, and artifacts to report bounded proof instead of stalling on large outputs
