Release Notes

October 6, 2026

v0.0.131

NemoClaw v0.0.131 preserves the complete OpenShell native agent home and workspace during rebuilds, improves local and routed inference reliability, and hardens lifecycle diagnostics. It also adds Tavily to managed OpenClaw images, expands configuration export coverage, and fixes sandbox-specific command selection.

  • Rebuild transfers the complete native agent home and workspace instead of a selected file inventory. NemoClaw rejects a transfer that contains credentials, fails inspection, or fails integrity validation before it replaces the sandbox. The retired selective snapshot commands are no longer available. Use an independent host backup when you need a user-controlled recovery point; backup-all remains an installer-facing pre-upgrade safeguard. Related change: PR #12340. Refer to Persist Sandbox State and Recover and Rebuild Sandboxes.
  • The managed N1x Qwen vLLM profile allows one corrective retry when OpenClaw rejects a compaction summary. The quality guard remains enabled, and a repeated rejection or failed retry does not replace the conversation history. Other compaction profiles retain zero corrective retries. Related change: PR #12516. Refer to Understand Context Compaction.
  • The 64 GB DGX Spark Qwen vLLM recipe uses lazy safetensors loading instead of fastsafetensors. This change reduces startup memory pressure on the Experimental 64 GB profile without changing its model, context, concurrency, or memory limits. Physical qualification remains pending. Related change: PR #12633. Refer to Set Up vLLM.
  • Operator-attached llama.cpp onboarding now checks sandbox reachability before it accepts a host service. A confirmed TCP failure stops fresh or resumed onboarding with binding and firewall guidance. Related change: PR #11709. Refer to Set Up llama.cpp.
  • OpenRouter model changes now verify the selected model through the target sandbox before NemoClaw commits agent configuration. A failed verification restores the previous route when possible. Launch readiness and status also require a bounded inference request because the OpenRouter adapter does not expose /v1/models. Related changes: PR #12625 and PR #12685. Refer to Switch Inference Providers.
  • OpenAI-compatible probes use max_completion_tokens for GPT-6 models, including gpt-6-astra. The existing GPT-5 and o1, o3, and o4 compatibility handling remains unchanged. Related change: PR #12691. Refer to Choose a Compatible Inference API.
  • nemoclaw inference set accepts recognized underscore spellings such as ollama_local, nvidia_prod, and open_router. NemoClaw normalizes each recognized spelling to its canonical OpenShell provider ID. Related change: PR #11700. Refer to Switch Inference Providers.
  • nemoclaw config export now accepts native NVIDIA provider bindings from the current workspace or an unscoped binding and emits YAML that passes the pinned v1 parser. When retained corporate CA state is present, a successful export reports the omission on standard error and directs you to review destination trust requirements. Related change: PR #12451. Refer to the NemoClaw CLI Commands Reference.
  • SDK-backed commands accept an externally supervised gateway’s declared mTLS state directory when its ownership and permissions pass validation. The directory does not need a NemoClaw-managed ownership marker. Related change: PR #12535. Refer to Understand Gateway Lifecycle Authority.
  • Managed OpenClaw images preinstall the verified Tavily plugin in a disabled state. Selecting Tavily during onboarding enables it, and configuration export preserves admitted OpenClaw and Hermes Tavily sources without exporting credential values. Managed-image publication requires the exact supported Tavily package version and disabled default configuration. Related changes: PR #12225 and PR #12624. Refer to the OpenClaw Quickstart and Hermes Quickstart.
  • Skill install, list, and remove commands select the agent from the target sandbox’s registry record. Onboarding another Hermes or Deep Agents sandbox no longer changes skill command routing for a registered OpenClaw sandbox. Related change: PR #12607. Refer to the NemoClaw CLI Commands Reference.
  • nemoclaw policy list labels the Deep Agents Code observability-otlp-local preset as [from dcode agent]. This change corrects displayed provenance without changing sandbox permissions or preset application. Related change: PR #12635. Refer to the NemoClaw CLI Commands Reference.
  • nemoclaw-acp preserves a remote hermes-acp exit status, including status 255, and reports SSH transport failures separately. If temporary SSH configuration cleanup fails, NemoClaw reports the retained directory without replacing an existing remote failure status. Related change: PR #11774. Refer to the NemoClaw CLI Commands Reference.
  • Managed cloud onboarding waits up to 5 seconds for Docker to expose the exact container after OpenShell returns a verified sandbox identity. Ambiguous ownership, identity changes, stopped containers, and inspection mismatches still fail immediately. Related change: PR #12606.
  • Portable onboarding checks that its managed registry responds before it builds the sandbox image. An unreachable registry produces a bounded failure before the build starts. Related change: PR #11874.
  • Brev CPU bootstrap removes the older bundled npm tree before it extracts the pinned Node archive. This prevents files from the previous npm installation from remaining beside the new bundled npm. Related change: PR #12239.
  • Tunnel startup and cleanup verify the recorded cloudflared process identity before they act on it. An inconclusive identity check preserves the process and PID record and reports recovery guidance. Related change: PR #12491. Refer to Troubleshooting.
  • Legacy DNS proxy repair now requires an exact sandbox pod name or a valid generated suffix. Repairing a sandbox such as box1 no longer selects an unrelated pod such as box10-xyz12. Related change: PR #12556.
  • Docker GPU failure diagnostics use typed OpenShell observations when they are available. A collection or artifact-write failure remains best effort and cannot hide the original GPU failure or cleanup guidance. Related change: PR #12560.
  • Managed runtime dependency graphs and the installed official Slack bundle now use proxy-addr 2.0.8. Documentation validation also checks internal links across every published page. Related change: PR #12656.
