OCM managed Gateway upgrades no longer get killed by their own shutdown, and oversized QA uploads now reject without crashing the provider.

OCM fixed a failure where an upgrade launched by a managed Gateway could be killed by that Gateway's own shutdown, leaving the environment stopped on its old runtime with no terminal upgrade transaction recorded [1]. Now, before managed quiescence, OCM checks whether the current operation belongs to the target Gateway's exact Unix process group; only that self-owned caller moves into an independent group, so external callers and other operations remain unaffected.

In OpenClaw, QA Lab runs no longer crash when a mock provider upload exceeds the 16 MiB request limit. Previously, the requester received no HTTP error and the provider exited with an unhandled `RequestBodyLimitError`, which could also leave the QA bus or mock provider exiting with Node code 13 and an incomplete shutdown [2]. The Control UI Plugins page now uses bundled art for first-party `@openclaw` catalog rows instead of requesting remote CDN icons, so blocked or challenged CDNs no longer leave rows on fallback tiles [3].

Android reconnect cleanup is now scoped to its own connection, preventing retired connection work from marking reconnects failed or paused and from losing accepted RPC outcomes or error notifications [4]. CLI lifecycle E2E suites now reuse the prepared CLI build by running the public `openclaw.mjs` entrypoint, reducing nine command invocations that previously spent most of their time loading the TypeScript source [5].
