# OpenClaw 2026.7.2-beta.6: Claude Opus 5, MCP Apps host, session forking, crash-durable state

> Large beta covering persistence hardening (quarantine store, crash-recoverable SQLite snapshots, rejection of data-losing schema upgrades), durable message delivery across ten chat channels, conversation rewind/fork with branch switching, and a ticketed MCP Apps host with dashboards. Adds Claude Opus 5, Kimi K3, and GPT Live realtime — realtime Talk now requires a supported OpenAI Platform API key, as the Codex OAuth fallback is rejected. Also adds meeting guests for Teams/Zoom/Meet, a Wear OS companion, and in-process llama.cpp inference.

## What changed


**State and delivery**
- Quarantine store surviving primary-database damage, crash-recoverable SQLite snapshots, crash-durable filesystem publication, schema-upgrade data-loss rejection, rollback-writer snapshot recovery
- Shared ingress drain and dead-letter recovery keep accepted messages recoverable across gateway restarts and local crashes: Telegram, Signal, Slack, QQBot, Twitch, Synology Chat, Tlon, IRC, Zalo User

**Sessions**
- Rewind or fork a conversation from an individual message; switch transcript branches on web and native; fork upstream Codex sessions; branch-safe queued sends; stale-pane writes rejected; prompt images restored after fork
- Session boards/dashboards, archived/visibility/draft/incognito states, suggestion queues, typing indicators

**Models and realtime**
- Claude Opus 5 across catalog and runtime; Kimi K3; GPT Live realtime
- Realtime Talk requires a supported OpenAI Platform API key — the Codex OAuth fallback is rejected
- OpenAI and Gemini video in realtime Talk
- In-process RAM-gated llama.cpp/Gemma GGUF inference, Baseten Model API, local-provider detection during onboarding, model downloads from web and macOS setup

**MCP Apps and browser**
- Ticketed MCP App host with bound tools, resources, bounded context updates; open from channel replies, pin to durable dashboards, hardened shared sandbox, manifest-declared MCP Apps for native plugins
- Per-tab browser copilot, batch browser CLI, bounded page-question extraction

**Questions and approvals**
- Structured agent questions with option cards on web, channels, macOS, native; approvals gain push notifications, history, fair queuing, headless resolution, Claude tool-request relay, reviewer detail

**Meetings, apps, misc**
- Teams and Zoom meeting guests; Teams/Zoom/Google Meet plugins enabled by default; durable transcript collection
- Wear OS companion (phone-proxied) with agent/session/model selection, Talk controls, instant-talk tile
- Quick Chat on macOS and Linux, Linux desktop integration with signed updates, multi-gateway apps, mobile dashboards
- Buzz channel plugin; Slack user-identity and Agent View modes; Telegram rich blocks and native Markdown lists; richer Matrix formatting
- Memory: fast active recall, default cross-conversation recall for personal installs, guided imports from Claude Code/Codex/Hermes, Memory settings page
- Scheduling: per-job dynamic cadence, gated script payloads, durable schedule-source streaming, cron-backed heartbeat monitors, current-conversation defaults, `/loop`
