Fixes for stale DashScope downloads and Telegram forward origins

By RepoJournal · Filed · About OpenClaw

Two OpenClaw fixes landed today: DashScope video downloads no longer hang on stalled CDN bodies, and Telegram debounce batches preserve per-message forward origins.

OpenClaw fixed two download pathologies in DashScope-compatible video generation [1]. A stalled CDN body after headers returned now fails on a chunk-idle timeout instead of waiting the full request budget, and an exhausted deadline can no longer initiate network I/O because the remaining-deadline check moved before the guarded fetch. Operators running DashScope video generation should upgrade to get bounded downloads and fail-closed behavior on deadline exhaustion.

Telegram message forwarding now keeps per-message source attribution across the inbound debounce window [2]. Previously, mixed and multi-origin batches could be presented as the forwarding user's text or attributed entirely to the first source; the debounce path now carries original messages into the Telegram context owner for correct formatting. [2]

Provider catalogs for zai, kimi, moonshot, and xai were refreshed against July 2026 vendor docs [3]. Z.AI GLM-5.x pricing is corrected and Kimi/Moonshot setup hints no longer reference retired K2.6 wording or embedded volatile prices. xAI guidance now includes Grok Build CLI and the long-context pricing caveat.
