What is OpenClaw v2026.5.5?

A stability-focused release shipping 40+ bug fixes for cross-platform deployments including Feishu routing, Discord heartbeat, TUI session management, and plugin runtime fetch.

What Feishu bug was fixed in v2026.5.5?

Topic routing now hydrates missing native topic starter thread IDs before session routing so first turns stay in the correct topic session.

Does v2026.5.5 fix the TUI session ghost issue?

Yes. TUI skips the generic CLI respawn wrapper, exits cleanly on terminal loss, and refuses to restore heartbeat sessions as the remembered chat session.

What plugin fix shipped in v2026.5.5?

Plugin runtime fetch now drops third-party symbol metadata from request headers before passing them to native fetch, preventing SDK proxy path rejections.

Product Idea from this Signal

A CLI tool that validates OpenClaw updates against your running config, plugins, and channels before you deploy them, catching regressions like the v2026.4.26 and v2026.5.5 disasters automatically

421.1k ▲

OpenClaw ships 13+ point releases per month and the community has established that roughly 25% of updates break response delivery for heartbeat messages, cron jobs, and webhooks. The v2026.4.26 update destroyed gateways and Discord integrations for days. The v2026.5.5 patch silently rewrote Codex OAuth routes, requiring an emergency v2026.5.6 the next day. The top r/openclaw complaint (305 upvotes) says it directly: every update ships more bugs than before. This tool runs a pre-update validation suite against your specific OpenClaw instance, checking plugin compatibility, channel health, gateway startup, model routing, and config integrity before you commit to the upgrade.
