[Release] openclaw/openclaw v2026.5.12-beta.3: openclaw 2026.5.12-beta.3

OpenClaw v2026.5.12-beta.3 is a maintenance release addressing authentication, provider compatibility, and UI improvements. Key fixes include auth-profile-backed media tools availability, WhatsApp/Baileys dependency resolution, memory-wiki permission scoping, and provider stream handling. The release introduces per-agent tool policies, improved subagent session visualization, better error messaging, and expanded configuration options for Slack, Google Gemini, and local model providers.

Key Points

• •Fixed auth-profile-backed media tools (image_generate) availability when OpenAI auth is stored in agent auth-profile instead of environment variables
• •Resolved WhatsApp/Baileys libsignal git subdependency conflicts under pnpm 11 for source installs and local checks
• •Implemented per-sender tool policies with channel-scoped sender keys to restrict dangerous tools by requester identity across all tool surfaces
• •Enhanced subagent session visualization by nesting child sessions under parent sessions with visual prefix in session picker dropdown
• •Added per-agent tool policy overrides for message.crossContext and message.actions.allow to restrict message sends and enforce send-only tools in sandboxed/public agents
• •Improved provider stream handling for OpenAI-compatible SSE/JSON fallback streams and Azure Response streams with bounded diagnostics
• •Normalized retired Gemini 3 Pro Preview IDs to google/gemini-3.1-pro-preview across SDK OAuth, CLI auth, and provider catalog flows
• •Added cron job inspection support via cron.get command and agent-tool for retrieving stored cron jobs by ID
• •Exposed Gateway session lineage metadata through ACP session listings for rendering subagent graphs without private side channels
• •Upgraded workspace package management to pnpm 11 with aligned Docker, install, update, and release workflows
