v0.0.137

NemoClaw v0.0.137 changes the default hosted model for new OpenClaw and Hermes NVIDIA Endpoints and OpenRouter onboarding to Nemotron 3.5 Super VL. It also improves uninstall recovery, managed image security, policy recovery, agent input, and startup behavior.

  • New NVIDIA Endpoints onboarding defaults to nvidia/nemotron-3.5-super-vl-120b-a12b. OpenRouter uses its catalog ID, nvidia/nemotron-3.5-super-vl. Explicit model selections and the Deep Agents Code Ultra default remain unchanged. Related change: PR #13542.
  • Onboarding preserves OpenRouter pricing-route IP pins when it applies the built-in pricing policy. If OpenShell refuses a policy write, onboard --resume reuses the saved preset selection for the same sandbox and confirms the live policy before clearing it. An unavailable saved preset stops recovery with a --fresh hint. Related change: PR #13499.
  • nemoclaw <sandbox> agent accepts piped messages without an inline --message and applies the input deadline to stalled pipes. Deep Agents Code readiness and its Auto classifier now use the selected managed Ultra route and required request parameters. Related change: PR #13444.
  • Pi restores its previous model catalog if settings synchronization fails and updates settings atomically. When applying a Pi configuration, managed startup still rejects symbolic links at the catalog and settings paths before the update. Related change: PR #13370.
  • New skill installations reject names longer than 64 characters with a specific validation error. Removal still accepts previously installed longer names. Related change: PR #13488.
  • Successful nemoclaw uninstall retires the selected managed gateway’s native-provider authority after gateway state removal, so onboarding on the same port can recreate the provider. Failed cleanup, --keep-openshell, and concurrent registry changes retain authority for recovery. On rootless Podman, OpenClaw native-home cleanup retries as the sandbox user when root cannot remove the files. Related change: PR #13504.
  • Managed sandbox image builds include patched system libraries and updated Hermes HTTP and image libraries. Reviewed MCP SDK graphs use version 1.32.0, and image validation rejects stale package inventories. Existing sandboxes retain their prior images until rebuilt; after updating NemoClaw, run nemoclaw upgrade-sandboxes to inspect or rebuild them. A selected Podman runtime no longer triggers Docker host setup, Docker preflight checks, or Docker-only NIM cleanup. Related change: PR #13513.
  • Native local provider attachment now retains the expected OpenShell profile verified during inspection so NemoClaw can check it again after attachment. A changed profile, failed export, or timeout warns the gateway operator without rolling back a successful attachment. Related change: PR #13564.
