Telegram picker shows thinking level, Gateway proxy bypass narrowed

By RepoJournal · Filed · About OpenClaw

OpenClaw's Telegram picker now displays the active thinking level, and Gateway's loopback proxy bypass only targets the intended authority.

The Telegram `/think` picker now shows the current thinking level above the option buttons. The displayed level is resolved from the target session override first, then agent/default model config, with tests covering explicit session and configured-default cases [1]. Maintainer-verified with screenshots in the PR [1].

The Gateway proxy bypass was narrowed: new `proxy.loopbackMode` state (`gateway-only` default, `proxy`, `block`) controls how loopback Gateway traffic is handled. The old process-global HTTP stack unpatching is gone; now global-agent's target-aware `NO_PROXY` controller handles the bypass. Custom loopback Gateway config remains supported, and remote-proxy caveats are documented [2].

Clawhub tightened package delete authorization to personal owners, org publisher owners/admins, and platform staff moderators/admins. Added `clawhub package delete <name>` and a dashboard delete action; soft-deleted packages now leave search surfaces [3]. CLI help is now role-aware: privileged moderator/admin commands are hidden from logged-out and normal user help, while `transfer` remains visible [4]. Clawhub also added a Codex worktree setup with Run, Convex Dev, and Seed Dev DB actions [5].
