v0.0.129

NemoClaw v0.0.129 extends configuration export and deferred onboarding, improves OpenClaw restart readiness, and corrects recovery across local gateways. It also strengthens host OS reporting and Windows WSL GPU verification.

  • Configuration export preserves effective OpenClaw and Hermes settings when v1alpha1 omission defaults would change behavior. Supported OpenClaw exports for attached Ollama with a managed proxy and the fixed managed vLLM profile now include local inference service templates. These templates contain image: null; replace that value with an official, immutable, compatible v1 runtime image before v1 parsing or planning. Related changes: PR #12054 and PR #12161. For supported profiles and refusal conditions, refer to the NemoClaw CLI Commands Reference.
  • Hermes and LangChain Deep Agents Code can defer onboarding when installing without NVIDIA hosted inference credentials. The installer creates no provider, sandbox, or completed onboarding state in that case; present credentials retain normal validation. Complete setup later through the installed agent’s onboarding command. Related change: PR #10341. For the opt-in flag and prerequisites, refer to the CLI Commands Reference.
  • OpenClaw gateway restart loads updated native plugins from a fresh module graph and waits for /readyz to return HTTP 200 with {"ready":true} before repairing forwards. Managed startup also preserves the SQLite temporary-directory environment for standalone memory commands. Related changes: PR #11911 and PR #12256. Refer to Install OpenClaw Plugins and Understand Gateway Lifecycle Control.
  • Sandbox status and recovery use the owning local gateway registry even when another gateway is active. Recovery guidance follows the recorded runtime provider, and rebuild delegates to the owning registry after confirmation. Resumed host-local inference onboarding reserves its retained authority before creating a runtime and reports actionable diagnostics when that reservation fails. Related changes: PR #11945 and PR #12075. Refer to Recover and Rebuild Sandboxes.
  • Host readiness reports the Linux distribution and release, with warnings for unqualified or inconclusive OS evidence. Windows on Arm GPU verification checks every reported device and aggregate capacity without qualifying generic multi-GPU hosts for larger automatic Ollama model selection. Related changes: PR #11780 and PR #12212. Refer to System Readiness and Prepare Windows for NemoClaw.
  • NVIDIA Endpoints onboarding no longer selects the retired MiniMax M3 model. Interactive onboarding asks for a replacement; noninteractive onboarding uses an eligible configured model or the agent default. OpenRouter model selection remains separate from NVIDIA’s retirement policy. Related change: PR #11864. Refer to Use NVIDIA Endpoints.
