OpenClaw 2026.6.6: OpenRouter Onboarding, Mobile Control, Stability Fixes

OpenClaw 2026.6.6 focuses on setup ease and runtime stability. Key highlights include first-class OpenRouter provider onboarding, a usable mobile control surface, and dozens of fixes to codex sandbox, MCP, browser, cron, and channel reply reliability.
OpenRouter Onboarding
OpenRouter is now a first-class provider choice in the model/auth setup flow. You can pick OpenRouter directly and use its OAuth or API-key path instead of digging through secondary routes.
Mobile Control Surfaces
The iPad app now has a sidebar for Chat, Talk, Activity, Workboard, Skill Workshop, Agents, Sessions, Docs, Settings, and Gateway. The iPhone gets a Control hub for the same areas. Workboard and Skill Workshop can load Gateway data and perform actions—they're no longer placeholders.
Stability and Safer Runtime
- Codex sandbox HTTP blocks private, internal, metadata, redirect, proxy-mediated, and DNS-rebinding targets before execution.
- Docker sandbox bind validation rejects broad parent paths exposing blocked descendants.
- MCP stdio env inheritance is tighter.
- Browser CDP endpoints are validated before use.
- Exec approvals deny by default after timeout instead of silently approving.
- Tool output, approval displays, diagnostics, URLs, and connection strings get stronger secret redaction.
- Non-owner loopback MCP callers can't reach owner-only core tools.
More Reliable Channel Replies
- Telegram callback actions preserve business connection and topic routing metadata.
- Unauthorized Telegram DM text is blocked before entering dedupe, reply-chain cache, prompt context, or dispatch.
- Discord reply context hydration fixed when gateway payloads omit referenced message body.
- Multi-bot Discord command deploy caches scoped by application id.
- iMessage outbound sending and startup diagnostics more robust.
- State-relative inbound media paths (including Telegram images) hydrate properly even when cwd differs from state directory.
Browser, MCP, Codex, and Provider
- Existing-session browser profiles can attach through configured CDP endpoints.
browser.defaultProfile: "user"honors top-levelbrowser.cdpUrl. - MCP SSE Authorization headers normalized; remote streamable-http MCP OAuth flows get better localhost fallback and readable errors.
- Codex context-engine ownership respected before native compaction.
- Local, custom, and provider-qualified model setups no longer attempt Guardian-backed approval outside trusted OpenAI context.
- OpenAI
gpt-5.3-codexworks again for standard API keys (removed ChatGPT backend override).
Memory, Cron, and Long-Running Work
openclaw memory search --jsonexits cleanly after printing JSON.- Explicitly configured QMD roots named
build,dist,vendor, or.cacheremain watchable. - Memory search self-heals missing index identity during sync.
- Cron wakes preserve originating session and agent.
- Impossible cron expressions rejected during create/update.
openclaw cron runsJSON now includes readable ISO timestamp fields.
