OpenClaw 2026.7.2-beta.1: remote coding sessions on cloud workers, Linux packaging, channel authorization fixes

Remote and paired-node sessions

• Control UI sessions run on cloud workers; session placement, dispatch, and worker-turn routing added
• Codex and Claude catalog sessions open in terminals on their owning hosts; OpenCode and Pi sessions resume directly in a terminal
• Catalog sessions creatable from the Control UI sidebar
• MCP server connections scoped to their requesting session

Nodes and native

• Automations parity on mobile; foreground Voice Wake on Android
• Camera, location, and notification capabilities exposed from headless Linux nodes

Authorization and channels

• Channel allowlists no longer grant owner access
• Operator-admin authority required for paired-node directory browsing
• Prototype pollution blocked in migration config merges
• Telegram durable-ingress no longer lost after restarts; Signal stop and approval controls stay responsive during active turns

Install

• Linux deb and AppImage bundles with Gateway guidance, published from stable main-based releases
• Windows installs continue immediately after winget adds Node.js

Other

• Bundled Codex CLI plugin at 0.144.4
• Control UI: provider setup from Settings, guided channel onboarding, image/model choice at session creation
• Gateway restart admission no longer wedges; reply sessions recover after finalization stalls; one-shot cron jobs survive lifecycle claim races
• Codex/Claude memory import into Control UI; cron history served from the task ledger; branch and changed-file state shown in sessions
• Network calls to Google Chat auth, Slack directory/read-mode, and Twitch user lookups now time out instead of hanging
• Fixes across terminal sessions, Signal reconnect, Apple client protocol-v3, UTF-8 in split QMD memory output, and ClawHub skill tracking
