Good morning, this is your OpenClaw developer briefing for April 29th, 2026.
No pull requests were merged today, but the team delivered 30 commits across several key areas.
Mike Harsh led authentication improvements with a significant fix for GitHub Copilot's GUI and RPC wizard authentication flow. This update, co-authored with indierawk2k2 and shanselman, modified six files including the main Copilot extension and login components.
Blasius Patrick addressed a user-facing bug where internal replay placeholders were leaking into channel output like Telegram after aborted tool calls. The fix strips these placeholders early in the sanitization process, protecting all channels by default.
Peter Steinberger contributed multiple SDK improvements, aligning wait and protocol contracts across macOS and shared components. He also enhanced SDK run event outcomes preservation and fixed CLI lazy command parent flag handling.
Shakker delivered a series of authentication-related commits, focusing on preserving workspace auth labels in model status and improving model registry discovery. These changes ensure authentication evidence properly flows through the system's model handling components.
