Release Notes

August 20, 2026

v0.0.112

NemoClaw v0.0.112 strengthens managed local inference across vLLM, llama.cpp, Ollama, and routed provider recovery. It improves Portable and sandbox lifecycle recovery, MCP credential republishing, messaging continuity, and Shields ownership cleanup. It also tightens release provenance, E2E qualification, contributor review automation, and dependency compatibility.

  • Managed vLLM now validates a running server against the requested serving profile, model, reasoning mode, and configured ports before reuse, and it can resume an interrupted installation without losing the selected provider state. The managed catalog owns the vLLM profiles, adds Linux AMD64 Muse and Lightning options, refreshes llama.cpp image pins, and removes the retired DeepSeek V4 Pro menu entry. Managed llama.cpp preserves authority across resume, authenticates its bridge, bounds DGX Spark request bodies, publishes its owned image, and attaches to servers that omit /props model aliases. For more information, refer to Use vLLM and Choose a Local Inference Server.

  • Ollama validation now proves the requested model through the sandbox endpoint, runs Portable instances under Podman, bounds WSL host discovery, and avoids installing a Linux systemd override for Windows-host Ollama during resume. Onboarding requires a healthy Model Router endpoint before accepting it, settles OpenClaw pairing after route changes, preserves provider state after Docker recreation, and distinguishes upstream credential rejection from a broken sandbox route. The Ollama installer also validates downloads before execution. For more information, refer to Use Ollama, Switch Inference Providers, and Troubleshooting.

  • Sandbox lifecycle operations now create the Portable network before host aliases, keep its host-gateway subnet separate, preserve Docker authority across terminal sessions, and recreate a gateway when its Docker network is missing. Onboarding reports progress during cold base-image pulls, honors credential retry navigation, diagnoses OpenShell deletion handoffs, validates retired gateway evidence, and migrates Hermes dashboard state before checking gateway health. Tunnel status resolves the default sandbox, launch aligns its forwarded ports, uninstall accepts the default OpenClaw session and hosts with no Portable-owned resource, and failed llama.cpp cleanup remains resumable. MCP credentials and provider reservations are republished after policy binding, while Shields recovery can reclaim a dead lifecycle owner without treating a reused process ID as authoritative.

  • Voice sessions now preserve conversation context across sequential turns, and reused messaging onboarding accepts the schema-owned Microsoft Teams webhook field without rejecting its managed plan. For more information, refer to Manage Messaging Channels. Related changes: PR #9412 and PR #9654.
  • PR Review Advisor now uses a two-turn atomic review, requires design blockers to reduce the proposed change, removes completed rollout compatibility, accepts a repaired same-turn submission, and reduces review protocol failures. Related changes: PR #9590, PR #9631, PR #9645, PR #9652, and PR #9690.
  • Release automation now attests production-image requests with the immutable semver tag and full source commit, tolerates an initially empty tag history, and preserves exact-sha local registry authority during E2E runs. E2E support verifies cloud-check wiring, Portable Podman selection, managed-inference catalog compilation, DCode model selection, supervised dashboard recovery, Windows path oracles, llama.cpp bridge cleanup, and fail-closed handling of unscripted onboarding prompts. Dependency maintenance updates OpenShell to 0.0.106, LangChain Deep Agents Code to 0.1.55, actions/setup-go to 7.0.0, and the grouped CodeQL actions.

  • Documentation catch-up aligns local inference, sandbox and MCP operations, troubleshooting, supported preset examples, contribution intake, and environment-variable guidance with the shipped behavior. Related changes: PR #9543, PR #9642, PR #9664, PR #9667, PR #9674, PR #9687, and PR #9693.
