OpenClaw's UI now surfaces chat run startup status and fixes live orphan session transcript visibility.

OpenClaw shipped a UI feature that shows chat run startup status [1], and fixed live orphan session transcript visibility [2]. The orphan fix keeps the fallback internal and requires agent-wide orphan visibility, closing a gap where transcripts could disappear in certain session states.

ChannelSetupInput was refactored into a generic envelope with a deprecated compatibility tier [3], a breaking change that keeps structs assignable without an index signature. Sidebar row visibility logic was unified across the UI [4], simplifying state handling.

Crabbox now provisions checksum-pinned TruffleHog 3.95.9 across macOS, Windows, Azure Linux VMs, and WSL2 distros [5][6], closing the gap where those environments lacked the secret preflight tool. Apple Container honors explicit guest architecture, with Doctor verifying only when explicitly requested [7].

Windows chat now handles lifecycle slash commands natively and loads conversation history on demand [8][9], plus onboarding gateway layout is fixed with native radio button semantics [10]. Durable exec approvals now reject shell interpreters [11]. The hub title bar and notification banner were polished to match Windows 11 conventions [12].
