The Windows node connection layer shipped a major refactor plus a batch of bug and security fixes, while OpenClaw core tightened test assertions across Telegram and provider flows.

The Windows node repo landed the largest change: a refactor pushing the connection layer toward the northstar architecture where GatewayConnectionManager owns the entire lifecycle, including operator client, node connector, credential resolution, state machine, SSH tunnel, and diagnostics. Dead methods were deleted, and OnManagerStateChanged became the sole writer of _currentStatus. [1] A companion fix addresses all 13 findings from a 5-model adversarial code review, covering SSH tunnel lifecycle, suppress-flag safety, dispose ordering, and token redaction. [2] Previously, the SSH tunnel stopped on disconnect; now it only stops on gateway switch or dispose, with a browser proxy forward added to SshTunnelConfig.

The Windows node setup flow and connection page got 12 bug fixes, including a WinUI RadioButtons selection issue where ConfigureRadioButtons always reassigned ItemsSource on every re-render, resetting visual selection. The fix skips ItemsSource when items are content-equal. [3] A separate security patch extends token sanitization: DiagnosticFormatter.SanitizeForDiagnostic only applied SecretRedactor.Redact, which matches key=value patterns but missed raw token formats that appear when a CLI tool echoes its arguments, such as a 64-char hex token in an error message. TokenSanitizer now covers those formats. [4] Documentation was consolidated into a single node-connection-architecture.md, replacing six working and aspirational docs. [9]

Across OpenClaw core, four commits tighten test assertions for Telegram security audits, Telegram bot context, provider auth choices, and provider install catalogs. [5] [6] [7] [8] These are test-only changes that make the suite stricter without altering runtime behavior. Separately, the docs repo updated R2 access patterns: reads now go through a Worker binding, R2 reads are signed without the docs2 origin, Cloudflare account id is kept private, and a private R2 account binding is used. [10] [11] [12] [13]
