OpenClaw ships v2026.7.1 patch releases fixing Codex integration and plugin updates
OpenClaw
OpenClaw's v2026.7.1-1 and v2026.7.1-2 patches (both Aug 4, 2026) fix Codex progress replies losing app-server turn state, Memory Core startup recovery from legacy-index conflicts, WSL state-permission handling, and managed-plugin updates that were blocked by newer npm's singleton-array lock metadata.
Why it matters
The Codex-integration and plugin-update fixes directly affect OpenClaw's viability as a self-hosted gateway for coding agents.
Importance: 1/5
Patch releases with targeted bug fixes, no new capabilities.
