[Release] openclaw/openclaw v2026.3.24-beta.1: openclaw 2026.3.24-beta.1

OpenClaw v2026.3.24-beta.1 introduces significant enhancements across gateway compatibility, agent tooling, platform integrations, and UI improvements. Key additions include OpenAI API compatibility endpoints, Microsoft Teams SDK migration with streaming support, skill installation recipes, and Docker container command support. The release focuses on improving user experience through better tool visibility, rich interactive replies, and comprehensive bug fixes across Telegram, Slack, Discord, WhatsApp, and other platforms.

Key Points

• •Add OpenAI-compatible `/v1/models` and `/v1/embeddings` endpoints with explicit model override forwarding for broader client and RAG compatibility
• •Implement live 'Available Right Now' tool visibility in Control UI showing which tools agents can actually use in current context
• •Migrate Microsoft Teams to official SDK with streaming 1:1 replies, welcome cards, typing indicators, and native AI labeling
• •Add one-click install recipes for bundled skills (coding-agent, gh-issues, openai-whisper-api, session-logs, tmux, trello, weather) with dependency management
• •Introduce skill status-filter tabs (All/Ready/Needs Setup/Disabled) with detailed requirement dialogs and API key entry in Control UI
• •Support `--container` and `OPENCLAW_CONTAINER` flags to run openclaw commands inside Docker/Podman containers
• •Add `before_dispatch` plugin hook with canonical inbound metadata and normal final-delivery path routing
• •Implement Discord auto-thread LLM-generated naming with `autoThreadName: 'generated'` option
• •Fix critical security bypass in media dispatch preventing tool/message actions from escaping media-root restrictions
• •Resolve sequential channel startup while isolating per-channel failures to prevent single broken channel from blocking others
