# OpenClaw 2026.6.5: bundled Parallel web search, MCP result normalization, Anthropic thinking recovery

> Stable 2026.6.5 release. Parallel ships as a bundled first-class web-search provider, non-text MCP tool-result blocks are normalized before provider conversion (stopping Anthropic 400s that broke follow-up history), and Anthropic extended thinking recovers after restarts instead of ending a turn. Matters most to users on MCP-heavy sessions, Anthropic extended thinking, Matrix, or Google Vertex ADC.

## What changed


- Parallel bundled web-search plugin: API-key discovery, guarded `api.parallel.ai/v1/search` handling, cache-safe session IDs, onboarding and docs
- MCP: `resource_link`, audio, malformed images and future non-text blocks coerced to text before provider conversion, avoiding Anthropic 400s and broken follow-up history
- Anthropic: stream start deferred until `message_start`, so prompt-cache expiry and early-signature failures reach the existing retry path; stale compaction thinking signatures stripped before replay; unsigned thinking-only stalls detected
- QQBot: reasoning/thinking scaffolding stripped before native delivery; new `/bot-group-allways on|off` slash command toggles whether group messages need an `@mention`, applied without restart
- Matrix: voice-message preflight and thread-aware read/reply
- Google Vertex: ADC auth markers preserved in generated catalogs, restoring static catalog and runtime model resolution
- Model resolution: fail closed for unknown model auth, single-provider primary re-probed after cooldown, no auth resolution while listing models
- ClawHub skills installable from GitHub repos at a pinned commit, with install-policy checks retained
- `sessions_send` honors an explicit `sessionKey` over stale label metadata; denied session-id sends stop echoing the canonical key
- Upgrades/restarts: cron JSON stores migrate before runtime, service env placeholders stop masking secrets, macOS avoids direct-Gateway reconnect churn
- Memory: QMD search rerank toggle; adapter status uses resolved default model identity
