OpenClaw extracts shared LLM contracts into new packages while the Windows gateway gets hardened reconnects and visible chat error messages.

OpenClaw split shared LLM functionality out of the monolith into `packages/llm-core` and `packages/llm-runtime` [1]. Existing entrypoints like `src/llm/*` and `packages/agent-core/src/llm.ts` remain as compatibility facades, so consumers should see no breakage, but the new tsdown builds add declared dist exports for the packages [1]. This is a preparatory refactor, not a behavior change.

Chat errors in the Control UI will now surface as visible assistant messages instead of failing silently [2]. The gateway emits error events as assistant messages, and the UI renders active-run errors while avoiding duplicate or orphan bubbles after failed sends. Regression coverage was added for both server-provided and synthesized error messages [2].

The Windows node bootstrap pairing was hardened against gateway auth compatibility failures seen during Crabbox release validation [3]. Fresh bootstrap handshakes now start with v2 signatures, a gateway-level `RequiresV2Signature` flag persists after v2 fallback for reconnects, and stale operator device tokens are recovered on `AUTH_DEVICE_TOKEN_MISMATCH` [3]. The Windows installer now gives users an explicit choice to remove the local WSL `OpenClawGateway` during uninstall, with silent uninstalls still removing it automatically [5]. Also, the release now bundles x64 VC runtime DLLs and verifies native dependencies, though ARM64 portable ZIP is paused [6].

Crabbox added ARM Linux lease architecture selection with `--arch` for Azure and AWS, routing ARM64 to Azure Dpsv6/Dpdsv6 and AWS Graviton families [4]. This includes resolving matching Ubuntu ARM64 images and keeping AWS promoted-image lookups architecture-scoped [4]. Broker cost cap defaults were enabled for the Worker deploy config [7].
