OpenClaw: Cross-Platform Parity and Credential Trust

Today's merges push Android and cross-platform surfaces toward feature parity with the Apple and web apps, while a cluster of authentication fixes tightens how OpenClaw verifies and forwards credentials across CLI backends and onboarding.

Wear OS got a full localization pass in PR 112228, fixing raw English leaking into watch screens. And the…

Second theme: authentication is getting stricter and smarter. PR 112458 makes selected Claude CLI profiles authoritative for credential delivery — a large, multi-commit effort from Jason spanning profile forwarding, node auth isolation, and exit-before-secret-delivery safety. PR 112457 closes a related gap,…
