OpenClaw v2026.7.1-beta.2 Adds GPT-5.6 Support and External Harness Attach

Tools official 1 src. ~1 min

OpenClaw v2026.7.1-beta.2 (July 5) adds GPT-5.6 model-family recognition across catalog, capability, and runtime selection paths, and introduces 'openclaw attach' for launching an external harness against an existing Gateway session to support Codex-style resume-and-inspect workflows. The release also improves Telegram/Codex pairing flows and adds recovery across transient API failures.

Why it matters

The external harness attach feature allows developers to hook into a live OpenClaw session from a separate tool, enabling Codex-compatible inspection and debugging workflows without restarting the agent.

Importance: 2/5

Beta release with meaningful new capabilities for Codex-compatible workflows; within ±36h window (July 5).
