OpenClaw v2026.6.11: Fixes for Misplaced Replies, Stuck Sends, and Model Failures

OpenClaw v2026.6.11 is out, focusing on reliability fixes for message routing, model setup, reconnects, and admin safety. This release addresses feedback about dropped, duplicated, or misrouted messages across multiple platforms.
Message Reliability Improvements
Replies, commands, queued messages, and attachments are less likely to be dropped, duplicated, or attached to the wrong conversation on Telegram, WhatsApp, Matrix, Google Chat, iMessage, Feishu, and Mattermost. WebChat and the Control UI now keep the active conversation visible consistently after reconnects. The terminal UI clears completed or rejected sends instead of leaving them looking stuck.
Model Selection and Fallback Recovery
Model selection and setup recover more clearly when catalogs, credentials, streams, timeouts, compaction, or fallbacks fail. This affects OpenAI, OpenRouter, and OpenCode Go setups. Follow-up fixes improve fast mode in affected provider and fallback paths.
Sessions, Memory, and Recovery
Sessions, compaction, memory, and QMD-backed memory preserve conversation context more consistently through long-running work, reconnects, upgrades, and transcript repair. Tool search recovers the right context or capability more reliably. Encrypted Matrix recovery stops safely when required key state cannot be verified. Tool policies, approvals, and secret handling stay attached to the intended runtime state, with higher-risk actions disabled unless explicitly enabled.
Plugin Management
Plugin management handles more official integrations through normal external package installation and repair flows. The plugin inventory and setup checks provide clearer guidance when a package is missing, incompatible, or needs reinstallation.
Admin and Deployment Controls
Slack router relay mode enables managed or multi-gateway deployments to centralize incoming Slack traffic while the correct gateway handles mentions, threads, and replies. The Raft channel and Raft plugin add a local CLI wake path for External Agents, including setup and status checks. Gateway health and troubleshooting signals now align more consistently with whether OpenClaw is ready, restarting, or unable to continue. Agent runs started through the CLI and the broader gateway recover more cleanly from disconnects, shutdowns, routing changes, and failed startup conditions.
CLI and Command Updates
Common CLI commands handle configuration, paths, output, and failure cases more consistently. Shell completion, doctor, config commands, and related commands have been improved.
