OpenClaw: State Reliability, Memory Limits, and UI Polish

Hello, it's Monday, September 28th, 2026, and this is your OpenClaw briefing.
The lead signal today is reliability under load. Across state, sessions, and tooling, developers closed races and resource stalls that caused flakes, busy-database errors, and slow responses.
First, state worker lifecycle. A cluster of fixes stops retired databases from being reused by mistake. Pull request 159944 retires stale workers before a replacement is admitted, preserving lease ownership during migrations. That is backed by pull request 160090, which makes test fixtures wait for worker retirement…
Second, taming CI memory and test bloat. Pull request 160024 adds an opt-in Linux process-tree memory limit using c-group version two, after Go heap targets failed to cap total lint and compiler use. Pull request 160098 splits root typechecking into four serial graphs after it was killed under a 7-gigabyte cap.…
Third, interface responsiveness and auth clarity. Pull request 160022 shows open and running session counts beside online people. Pull requests 159960 and 159970 let oversized PNG attachments resize in the browser and raise HTML widgets to 10 megabytes. And pull requests 159920 and 160023 stop…
