v0.0.144

NemoClaw v0.0.144 fixes Deep Agents Code startup approval mode, improves rebuild and installer safety, and adds managed Hermes Switchyard provider binding.

Agent Startup and Inference

  • Deep Agents Code starts in Manual when its managed auto-approval capability is disabled, even if native configuration selects Auto or Yolo. Related change: PR #13915.
  • Managed Hermes onboarding with --switchyard-config creates and attaches OpenShell providers for the selected hosted profiles. An optional dedicated judge can replace a capable target that fails judge qualification. Gateway startup verifies judge classification and usage accounting. Published bindings cannot be reused for routing or credential changes; preserve the sandbox and onboard with a new name. The owning session can recover an unchanged, unpublished provider reservation before sandbox creation starts. Full adaptive-routing qualification remains tracked in issue #13866. Related change: PR #14303.
  • OpenClaw launch-readiness qualification accepts settled native TUI pairing state while retaining identity, token, scope, and file-safety checks. Related change: PR #14437.

Rebuild, Installation, and Cleanup

  • OpenClaw rebuild validates NEMOCLAW_MCP_TOOLS_LIST_TIMEOUT_MS before its backup, deletion, or replacement. Installer-driven upgrades use the same preflight, but their strict pre-upgrade backup can already exist. Set an integer from 1500 to 10000 milliseconds, or unset the variable, before retrying a rejected command. Related change: PR #14439.
  • The installer prepares and revalidates the OpenShell replacement destination before retiring the old gateway, preserving the selected executable handoff. Related change: PR #14276.
  • Deep Agents Code backups accept the existing public QuickJS diagnostic in database sidecars while preserving credential rejection and original database and archive bytes. Related change: PR #14381.
  • Uninstall reports the reason OpenShell refused sandbox cleanup, providing a usable diagnostic while preserving existing exit codes. Related change: PR #13773.

Messaging and Contributor Workflows

  • Sandbox status warnings describe an unavailable inference probe without assuming the sandbox uses inference.local. Related change: PR #14457.
  • Telegram and WeChat readiness messages report channel API reachability without claiming to verify the agent’s inference route. Related change: PR #14448.
  • Interrupted upgrade tasks retain validated checkpoints, pending writes, and retry budgets. Changed-test runs include affected integration contracts, and manual PR candidate retries cannot cancel baseline comparisons. Related change: PR #14095.
  • The Teams messaging image fixture uses the reviewed webhook schema so plugin inspection can proceed after the image build. Related change: PR #14451.
