Release Notes

v0.0.69

NemoClaw v0.0.69 improves sandbox recovery, Deep Agents Code workflows, Hermes messaging, inference setup, policy approval guidance, and release validation.

• Sandbox lifecycle and onboarding flows now preserve state more predictably across destroy, recreate, rebuild, recovery, and validation failures. Destroy wipes persistent workspace and state directories, GPU recreate rolls back failed pre-patch sandboxes, recovery can rediscover live sandboxes when the local registry is empty, and hosted endpoint validation failures keep a nonzero exit status. For more information, refer to Recover and Rebuild Sandboxes, Create and Restore Snapshots, and Troubleshooting.
• Deep Agents Code workflows now have clearer terminal and CLI behavior. Session export reports actionable guidance for dash-prefixed arguments, warm-up sessions stay out of normal history, nemo-deepagents aliases share a consistent command surface, terminal runtime dispatch and version probes are more accurate, and status reports out-of-memory degradation with useful context. For more information, refer to Quickstart with LangChain Deep Agents Code and NemoClaw CLI Commands Reference.
• Deep Agents Code rebuild and snapshot operations now protect more user state. Skills created with skill-creator persist across rebuilds, the managed Python environment stays on PATH, rebuild warns before dropping user-managed files, and snapshot creation refuses to capture an active Deep Agents Code session. For more information, refer to Understand Sandbox State, Create and Restore Snapshots, and Security Best Practices.
• Hermes, messaging, and provider switching now use more explicit runtime state. Hermes moves to the 2026.6.19 release line, supported messaging channels come from manifests, invalid channel values fail fast, reused sandboxes refresh stale messaging plans, Hermes preserves Slack-compatible aliases after upgrades, and provider switches retain endpoint, credential, and inference API metadata. For more information, refer to Choose Messaging Channels, NemoClaw Quickstart with Hermes, and Switch Inference Providers.
• Inference setup now handles local and compatible endpoints with tighter validation. DGX Station managed vLLM defaults to DeepSeek V4 Flash, Ollama setup records explicit interaction state, compatible endpoint smoke checks retry only recognized transient failures, and validation redacts sensitive error details. For more information, refer to Choose an Inference Provider and Choose a Local Inference Server.
• Security, policy, and observability paths now report safer runtime state. Auto-restore seals the expected configuration hash, sandbox connect and login apply process and file-descriptor limits quietly, JSON agent failures keep parseable output with provenance warnings, log collection preserves per-source breadcrumbs, and in-sandbox Shields status no longer claims host posture it cannot verify. For more information, refer to Security Best Practices, Credential Storage, NemoClaw CLI Commands Reference, and Monitor Sandbox Activity.
• Documentation and release gates now cover more policy, approval, and live validation paths. The docs include clearer policy round-trip and network-request approval examples, while the live release gates distinguish public NVIDIA API keys from hosted inference keys and exercise Deep Agents Code terminal behavior more directly. For more information, refer to Network Policies, Customize the Network Policy, and Approve or Deny Agent Network Requests.
