Copilot replay thinking blocks stripped, WhatsApp login persistence fixed

By RepoJournal · Filed · About OpenClaw

GitHub Copilot Claude replay turns now strip thinking blocks, and a P1 WhatsApp login regression is fixed so Docker rebuilds no longer force relinks.

openclaw/openclaw shipped two consequential fixes. The Copilot Claude replay path now strips `thinking` and `redacted_thinking` blocks from every replay turn and from the final Anthropic request payload, including tool continuations, while thinking-only assistant turns are preserved as `[assistant reasoning omitted]` [1]. Separately, WhatsApp login could report `connected` before Baileys credentials were durably persisted, so a Docker rebuild or upgrade with the same state mount could silently force a relink; the fix addresses the P1 regression [2].

In crabbox, the NVIDIA Brev provider was added with lifecycle and SSH lease handling [3], and a new `namespace-instance` provider backed by `nsc` now supports per-lease SSH keys and proxy-backed sync [4]. The provider decision matrix is now generated from the live CLI spec and gated against drift [5]. Portal lease controls now include permission-aware stop/delete actions, and the portal theme defaults to system appearance [6].

ClawSweeper fixed an ordering bug where the apply workflow ran `git pull --rebase` after state hydration instead of before, which could reconcile stale state [7]. It also protects queueable issues from stale automation by removing `stale` and adding `no-stale` [8]. Windows stable releases now require an explicit `windows_node_tag` and approved installer digests before publishing [9].
