This update focuses on critical fixes for Telegram forum topic routing and message delivery, a comprehensive overhaul of xAI OAuth and video generation, and stability improvements for the OpenClaw CLI in containerized environments.
Several critical updates were merged to improve the reliability of the Telegram integration, specifically regarding forum topics and message delivery:
OriginatingTo target back to the base chat. Routing now preserves topic-qualified targets (e.g., telegram:<chatId>:topic:<threadId>).message_thread_id and resent messages to the base chat when a topic thread was not found. The system now fails closed for safer topic behavior.PR #83322 brings significant improvements to the xAI (Grok) integration:
submitted and in_progress).User-Agent: openclaw/<version> header for native hosts while ensuring this identity is withheld when using custom proxies to maintain privacy.--help paths (e.g., gateway --help) now use lazy action imports. This prevents the loading of heavy native modules during simple help requests.OPENCLAW_IMAGE_APT_PACKAGES as a runtime-agnostic alternative to OPENCLAW_DOCKER_APT_PACKAGES for image builds.CHANGELOG.md.reasoning.id values caused schema rejections. The adapter now sanitizes these IDs at the provider boundary.These changes collectively address several high-severity pain points. For Telegram users, the experience in forum topics is now significantly more stable, with a lower risk of misplaced replies or silent channel failures during configuration changes. xAI subscribers can now fully utilize OAuth for a wider range of features, including functional video generation and voice services.
From a developer and operator perspective, the CLI is now more robust across different Linux distributions and container runtimes, specifically eliminating crash-loops during help invocations. Additionally, the hardening of plugin activation policies and the sanitization of provider-specific replay IDs ensure that agent sessions are more resilient to provider-side schema changes and internal state corruption.
