OpenClaw: Identity Replay Fix and Performance Sweep

A critical identity fix stops replayed revocations from removing re-approved devices, paired with resilience fixes for connections and locks. A broad performance sweep also cuts wasted CPU and I/O across sessions, search, and cron with no behavior change.

Good morning, it's November 5th, 2026, and this is your OpenClaw developer briefing.

The headline today is trust plus efficiency: a security fix keeps old identity revocations from kicking out valid devices, while a coordinated performance push trims wasted work across the core.

First, identity and connection safety. PR 193146 fixes a replay problem where a captured revocation, resubmitted through the discovery mailbox, could remove an owner device or browser that had already been approved again. It also caps invite records that could otherwise grow without limit. For developers, that means…

Second, a quiet performance sweep, largely without behavior or schema changes. PR 193192 avoids rereading and decompressing locked transcript history during appends, reducing database writer hold time. PR 193209 avoids repeatedly scanning the full keyword index for filtered knowledge searches. PR 193224 drops…

Third, routing and pipeline stability. PR 193179 fixes a migration that collapsed purposeful split setups — one model used over both the API and command line interface — entirely onto the command line side, losing the fallback. And PR 193156 restores memory recall for Chinese, Japanese and…
