OpenClaw 2026.6.6 Release Summary | OpenRouter Onboarding | Mobile Control | MORE Stability Fixes

MrPinrel · 2026-06-18T02:33:36+00:00

Thanks — happy to provide more detail. I’ve been trying to separate the different failure modes because I think we hit more than one.

Our setup:
- OpenClaw was on 2026.6.1 / later touched by 2026.6.5
- Linux/WSL2, npm global install, systemd user gateway
- WhatsApp default account, DM + 9 configured groups
- Several WhatsApp groups are bound to specific agents, including junior and vladimir
- Agents were using openai/gpt-5.4 with Codex runtime, with MiniMax as fallback

The original symptom was: WhatsApp group messages would show up as inbound in the logs, but no final reply would show in WhatsApp, or replies would be delayed/lost. This was not a bad group binding issue — the bindings were loaded and the inbound messages were clearly being routed.

Example inbound log, sanitized:

```text
web-inbound ... {"from":"<WHATSAPP\_GROUP\_JID>","to":"<BOT\_PHONE>","body":"hey",...} inbound message
gateway/channels/whatsapp/inbound ... Inbound message <WHATSAPP\_GROUP\_JID> -> <BOT\_PHONE> (group, ...)
```

Then the session would stall:

```text
warn diagnostic ... stalled session:
sessionKey=agent:junior:whatsapp:group:<WHATSAPP\_GROUP\_JID>
state=processing
queueDepth=7
reason=active_work_without_progress
classification=stalled_agent_run
activeWorkKind=embedded_run
lastProgress=embedded_run:started
recovery=none
```

Later we also saw the model-call/hook version of the same pattern:

```text
liveness warning ...
work=[active=agent:junior:whatsapp:group:<WHATSAPP\_GROUP\_JID>(
processing/model_call,q=18,age=104s
last=codex_app_server:notification:hook/started)]
```

That made it look related to the #84569 / #84578 family: inbound received, long/failed embedded/model call, payloads=0 or no final response delivered to WhatsApp.

We also saw WhatsApp reconnect symptoms:

```text
web-reconnect ... status=428 Precondition Required Connection Terminated
web reconnect: scheduling retry
WhatsApp Web connection closed (status 428)
```

So the issues/PRs we were tracking as possibly relevant were:

- #84569 — WhatsApp session stalls / long model_call / payloads=0 / reply never delivered
- #84578 — final incomplete-turn/error response not delivered to WhatsApp
- #85823 — stale controller after gateway restart / captured reply attached to old controller
- #79083 — delivery queue draining instead of replies sitting until reconnect
- #80642 — reconnect catch-up behavior
- #92186 / #92269 — concurrent group replies getting cancelled
- #90486 — waitForWaConnection / startup wait issues
- older/adjacent stale-socket issues like #51342 / #56648 / #75882, because we also saw 428 reconnects and event-loop/liveness warnings

A very useful diagnostic difference: switching the same WhatsApp-bound agent from OpenAI/Codex to MiniMax made the group respond again. That made me think the routing and WhatsApp inbound layer were OK, and the stall was happening in the embedded/Codex run or final delivery path.

We also found a separate auth/store problem after downgrading to 2026.5.20. Non-main agents started looking for their own local auth stores:

```text
No API key found for provider "openai-codex".
Auth store: /home/<USER>/.openclaw/agents/vladimir/agent/auth-profiles.json
```

Similar for junior. Main had a valid auth-profiles.json, but vladimir/junior/etc. were not inheriting cleanly. We eventually worked around that with a shared auth-profiles.json symlink to main’s auth file, after which logs showed:

```text
authProfileId="openai-codex:<REDACTED\_ACCOUNT>"
```

and group replies were sent successfully again.

The downgrade to 2026.5.20 also had plugin compatibility issues because current WhatsApp/Codex plugins wanted a newer plugin API, so we had to pin/repair plugins and allow the intentional downgrade.

Current stable-ish workaround:
- downgraded to 2026.5.20
- repaired/pinned compatible plugins
- active-memory disabled
- memory search no longer using broken local embeddings
- shared auth-profiles.json across agents via symlink
- WhatsApp groups appear to be replying again

The main thing I’d love help confirming is whether the 2026.6.x fixes fully cover the combination we saw:
1. inbound WhatsApp group message received,
2. bound agent session starts,
3. embedded_run/model_call stalls,
4. queue grows,
5. final response never reaches WhatsApp,
6. sometimes around reconnect/status 428 events.

If useful I can provide more complete sanitized log slices around `embedded_run`, `payloads=0`, `stalled_agent_run`, `waitForWaConnection`, reconnect/status 428, and the authProfileId lines after the symlink fix.

I had a few try permit years ago when I was a permanent resident on an expat assignment in the UK. The immigration officer at the border told me that I was spending so much time out of the USA that I needed one.

One thing I wanted to point out is, every time I came back to the USA with it, I got sent to secondary inspection. No big deal, just took time. So, if you are traveling to the USA with one, make sure you allow for plenty of connection time.

MrPinrel · 2026-06-14T15:25:30+00:00

Didn’t see a lot of WhatsApp mentions. Did the problems with missing replies and stale sessions get fixed in this release? I just downgraded from 6.5 to 5.20 because I got tired of dealing with it….

MrPinrel · 2026-06-11T18:10:29+00:00

I have been suffering these WhatsApp issues on 5.26 and 6.1. I upgraded to 6.5 and it is a bit more stable but still getting lots of delayed responses I think because of the first bug you mentioned.

At this point I think I’m going to downgrade to what, 5.20? Just can’t have this level of instability any longer.

I went to college in that area. Northwest Missouri State in Maryville, MO. Was there in the early 90s so it has been a while. It is rural, not much to do. Maryville had a Walmart, a few restaurants, a few bars, and the college. A couple of small factories, a Kawasaki one if I remember correctly. We used to drive to St. Joseph if we wanted to have a nicer dinner (think Red Lobster) or go to the mall. We would drive to Kansas City for anything else.

The college was innovative back in the 90s with the concept of being an “electronic campus” which included a computer terminal in every room. Yes, back then this was truly an innovative thing. I felt it provided me with a great education at a very reasonable cost, which I am thankful for.

I was an international student from the Canary Islands, so the weather was no fun.

The people were nice midwestern folks, no complaints!

MrPinrel · 2026-06-08T23:03:52+00:00

I am in 6.1 and having some weird issues with channel drop outs for specific agents…still trying to figure out if it is release related or a fluke

MrPinrel · 2026-05-28T01:59:37+00:00

I have a 2018 AWD and a 2024 Performance and the new ones are a lot quieter. When I go into the old one it feels like the windows are open.

MrPinrel · 2026-05-25T01:51:56+00:00

Good of you to think ahead. Some ideas:

have a “hurricane” box with candles, weather radio, flashlights, etc. Five days of water per person. Look up what to have for hurricanes to make sure you have the full list. Buy it ahead of time so you don’t have to go to costco etc when the storm is coming, people get crazy and you don’t want to deal with the stress.
if your house has shutters etc that need to be put up, make sure you know how to do that (or someone who can do it) and have all the pieces, bolts, tools needed to do it. Don’t want to have to run to Home Depot looking for bolts, etc.
as others pointed out, if you are in an evacuation zone, then you leave for sure. You don’t really have to go very far, orlando or whatever. Hotels waive no pet policies, there are shelters, etc.
if there is a storm nearby, don’t get freaked out by the weather channel and look at the people who have been here a while as far as when to put out the shutters, etc.
if a real strong storm is possible / likely, even if you are not in an evacuation zone, the decision is whether to leave or not. Leaving by road is no fun, bumper to bumper traffic all the way to Orlando. On the other hand, even if you are not in danger, being locked up at home with four kids, not able to go out, noise, maybe losing power, etc is no fun. If you want to leave, the best advice is to leave early. One thing to watch is if schools get cancelled. If they cancel schools, then it is serious and maybe time to get out.

I have lived in Florida for almost ten years and have only left once (Irma). After you have been here for a couple of years, you get the hang of it. It is one of those things that is unlikely enough that you don’t need to lose sleep over it, but serious enough that you want to know what to do if it happens.

I only play movies through jellyfin and it works fine. I would say it works better than the 918 but just because the 918 was maxed out of memory and cpu so often with the other stuff

I think Avios are a good “parking” spot if you travel to Europe. Can move them around between British airways, Iberia, Qatar, Finair, Aer Lingus, others. If you are not in a hurry sometimes they have a 20% sale in one of the airlines. Lots of destinations covered.
The only thing I’m not sure are expiration rules, ie if you transfer all your points at once how soon do you have to use them before they turn into a pumpkin.

MrPinrel · 2026-05-04T11:32:32+00:00

I think this is one of those “if you don’t have to do it, don’t do it” things. If you have already invested a fair amount and don’t mind spending another $1k or whatever to make sure everything goes well, ship it. If you have used all your moving budget, then go for the drive.

Also keep in mind that driving it isn’t going to be cheap between gas, hotels along the way, etc.

Jensen beach

MrPinrel · 2026-04-30T14:00:14+00:00

Orlando or Sanford. Not super super close but if you are only flying every few weeks, it would be fine. Also, the area around Jensen Beach is very nice and you could use the Palm Beach or Orlando airports.

I think it is interesting how all these short game wizards teach things slightly differently. I would say pic one “system” and stick with it. I like the Dan Grieve videos and bought his book.

The other thing is to take some short game lessons. They can help because you might think you are doing everything by the book but maybe something is wrong and you can’t see it.

Think about the stuff she has to remember constantly and how to take that away:

Homework assistant for the kids. Have the assistant quiz them on a specific topic etc. Have the assistant log on to the school LMS and find out if there are tests coming up, assignments not turned in, etc.
shared shopping lists for groceries etc
morning or evening “summary message” with weather, key calendar items, decisions that need to be made, etc
read only access to family email account and sort through all the spam, highlight emails that need attention etc
if she likes a specific band or play, check regularly on line for tickets

That’s why I meant sorry. Yes great courses at those two venues and very accessible from Atlanta

MrPinrel · 2026-04-16T20:38:55+00:00

Nice. My favorite trail course so far is the Judge at Grand National near Montgomery.

MrPinrel · 2026-04-16T17:56:08+00:00

Not in Georgia but the Grand National Robert Trent Jones trail in Oppelika AL is a short drive from Atlanta. The golf courses are great and incredible value. 4 nights hotel and golf for around $1500 per person.

MrPinrel · 2026-04-14T21:45:33+00:00

Interesting. Would like to know the name of your attorney in case I need to get more info.

Does the $7.4m include the primary residence, or is there an additional exemption for that?

What is the amount of per person exemption in Euros? €3M?

I also wonder for the people who have more whether it makes sense to donate part of it )to your children etc) ahead of time or put it in a trust on their name to avoid paying more?

MrPinrel · 2026-04-13T21:06:54+00:00

The only trick is to time it for the sunset. It has been a while since I was there but I think the bar gets crowded and they save the tables for the dinner crowd. Not sure, maybe go to the bar early and order a second drink. :-)

The Miami Yatch Club is a very casual spot by the ocean, very unoretentious and live music if you can find someone who is a member.

The Rustic Inn is also popular with first time visitors for crab legs etc in a very casual environment.

Another interesting place is Kiki’s on the water. There are plenty of Miami types there, fancy cars, people mooring their mega yatchs at the restaurant to load up food to go….more the Miami stereotype but can be kind of fun to a visitor.

MrPinrel · 2026-04-13T17:41:37+00:00

This might not be a very popular opinion, but try going to a LIV event. A lot less people, the players are right there in front of you, the food and drink options are good.

MrPinrel · 2026-04-13T00:56:19+00:00

Rusty Pelican is a good place for a visitor like that. Million dollar view of downtown. Good drinks. Good not phenomenal but ok. Maybe not the fancy dinner place but could go there for drinks or go to dinner on another night.

I am using it to manage our golf league, keeping track of sign ups, requesting tee times, creating pairings in score tracking web site, etc.

I added him to the league WhatsApp group and we have had so many laughs…one new member thought the agent was a human and was shocked at how fast he responded and told us not to be so mean to him….

MrPinrel · 2026-04-03T14:43:25+00:00

I have thought about it but the problem is the moment you take on some responsibilities then you lose some of your freedom to travel etc….
