Release Notes

July 10, 2026

v0.0.80

NemoClaw v0.0.80 upgrades Hermes to the v0.18 line with richer Slack rendering, routes OpenRouter runtime traffic through a host-local attribution adapter, imports host corporate proxy CAs into sandbox trust, hardens sandbox base-image selection and route probing, and preserves intent across more interrupted onboarding and recovery flows.

  • Hermes upgrades to the v0.18 release line and enables Slack Block Kit rendering. Final Hermes Slack responses can use Block Kit, including native table blocks for Markdown tables, without new scopes or reinstalling the Slack app, and NemoClaw pins the resulting multi-architecture sandbox base image by immutable digest. For more information, refer to Set Up Slack.
  • OpenRouter runtime traffic now flows through a host-local NemoClaw adapter that injects the OpenRouter attribution headers HTTP-Referer and X-OpenRouter-Title. The adapter binds to the OpenShell-held OPENROUTER_API_KEY by SHA-256 hash, never stores the key, and listens on port 11437 by default; set NEMOCLAW_OPENROUTER_RUNTIME_ADAPTER_PORT to use a different host port. OpenRouter-backed LangChain Deep Agents Code sandboxes now use Deep Agents’ native openrouter provider instead of OpenAI request shaping. For more information, refer to Use OpenRouter, NemoClaw CLI Commands Reference, and Platform Support and Launch Claims.
  • NemoClaw can import a host corporate proxy root CA into the sandbox trust bundle so external channel endpoints such as api.telegram.org verify TLS behind a corporate MITM proxy. Set NEMOCLAW_CORPORATE_CA_BUNDLE before onboarding, or rely on detection of the conventional CA variables and host administrator anchor directories. NemoClaw appends the validated CA and never replaces the OpenShell root, and you can opt out with NEMOCLAW_CORPORATE_CA_IMPORT=0. For more information, refer to Configure Corporate CA Trust.
  • Sandbox base-image resolution now prefers release-matched image tags before mutable :latest for release installs and stale source checkouts, validates explicit base-image overrides exactly, and fails closed when a requested image cannot be pulled or fails compatibility checks. Failed cluster-image builds now surface captured, redacted Docker diagnostics instead of an opaque exit code, and the LangChain Deep Agents Code image build preserves the native OpenRouter Nemotron profile registration. For more information, refer to NemoClaw CLI Commands Reference and Troubleshooting.
  • Bare nemoclaw connect with no sandbox name now connects to the registry default and falls back to the first non-pending registration, with clear guidance when only pending or no registrations remain. Sandbox route probing rejects untrusted probe results and reports actionable rebuild guidance when the trusted Deep Agents route-probe helper is missing. For more information, refer to NemoClaw CLI Commands Reference and Troubleshooting.
  • Onboarding and recovery preserve intent across more interrupted flows. Live inference recovery is scoped to the sandbox, pending route reservations survive a not-ready recreate, re-onboarding probes registered extra providers exactly, and compatible provider recovery is preserved through the rebuild handoff. Docker health checks no longer trust a stale gateway PID after the start supervisor exits, the installer’s pre-upgrade backup abort message now names skipped sandboxes as well as failures, and the running Local vLLM provider entry drops the experimental label on DGX Spark and DGX Station. For more information, refer to NemoClaw Quickstart with OpenClaw, NemoClaw CLI Commands Reference, Choose a Local Inference Server, and Architecture Details.
  • Terminal and MCP startup behavior is more robust. Hermes sandbox connections automatically apply a light-compatible terminal skin when the host terminal reports a light background, unless you set a Hermes theme override, and MCP stdio servers launched through npx now start non-interactively so a first-use install prompt no longer blocks the MCP initialize handshake. For more information, refer to About Managed MCP Servers and NemoClaw Quickstart with Hermes.
