OpenClaw simplifies thread-bound session spawning, removes parent fork config knob

OpenClaw is consolidating session lifecycle management by adding a simpler thread-bound spawning path and removing an obsolete configuration knob in the same effort.

OpenClaw is making session spawning easier to reason about. A new PR titled "Simplify thread-bound session spawning" [1] introduces a dedicated path for sessions that must stay bound to a specific thread, which removes the need to manually coordinate the old forking mechanics when doing so. In the same effort, the "refactor: remove parent fork config knob" commit [2] deletes the configuration option that let callers turn parent-fork behavior on or off, meaning existing setups that relied on flipping that flag will need to drop it and rely on the new automatic behavior.

These changes arrive alongside a batch of runtime fixes from the same maintainer. One commit preserves legacy runtime model allowlists [3], so configurations that still use the older allowlist format continue to restrict which models a runtime may load instead of silently accepting everything. Another restores the SSRF runtime private IP export [4], which had been dropped, so tools that depend on surfacing blocked private IP addresses from SSRF checks will get that data again. Separately, an OpenRouter integration fix strips Anthropic reasoning prefills [5] before sending requests to OpenRouter, preventing the reasoning tokens from being passed along as visible user-facing content.

The Homebrew tap saw a new release: crabbox 0.1.0, with a matching audit test fix, was added [6][7], and it has already been bumped to v0.2.0 [8]. gitcrawl also moved to v0.1.2 [9]. Docs stayed in sync with the main repo via two mirror commits, and Ukrainian and zh-CN translations were refreshed [10][11][12][13].
