OpenClaw v2026.5.12-beta: Subagent Session Nesting and 20-Turn Agent-to-Agent Ping-Pong

Tools official 1 src. ~1 min

OpenClaw shipped three beta releases on May 12–13 (beta.2 through beta.4). Key additions include nesting subagent sessions under their parent in the session picker, expanding agent-to-agent communication to allow up to 20 ping-pong turns, per-sender tool policies, and enhanced Slack integration with reply broadcasting and link-preview suppression.

Why it matters

The session hierarchy and extended agent-to-agent turn limits enable more complex multi-agent delegation patterns within a single OpenClaw deployment.
