This beta release focuses on system stability, introducing SQLite-backed cron persistence, a dedicated iOS Talk tab for realtime voice, and critical fixes for agent session recovery and tool call handling.

This release focuses on hardening the system against interrupted tool calls, improving the mobile experience for iOS users, and migrating core scheduling components to a more robust database backend.

The centralization of terminal outcomes ensures that if a run is marked as timed out, it stays timed out, providing a reliable signal to parent orchestrators. Additionally, the migration to SQLite for cron jobs reduces the risk of file corruption associated with legacy JSON stores.
Plugin developers can now integrate secret providers directly via the manifest contract, reducing the need for manual exec configuration. The extraction of LLM core packages provides a cleaner SDK for those building custom providers or extensions.
Control UI users now have an agent selector in the Dreaming tab, allowing them to switch between different agent contexts to inspect diaries and memories without switching the entire active session (#78748).
Upon first launch after upgrading to v2026.5.30-beta.1, OpenClaw will automatically attempt to import your legacy JSON cron stores and logs into the SQLite database.
