OpenClaw’s Slack Channel-ID Fix Shows Why Name-Based Allowlists Need Runtime Proof

OpenClaw’s Slack Channel-ID Fix Shows Why Name-Based Allowlists Need Runtime Proof

Slack bots are where agent security stops being abstract. A workspace channel looks friendly to humans — #general, #ops, #customer-escalations — but the API cares about channel IDs, account tokens, membership, scopes, and method-specific behavior. OpenClaw PR #95313 fixes a mismatch in that translation layer, and the lesson is broader than Slack:

OpenClaw’s Cross-Channel Session-Origin Bug Is a Multi-Agent Identity Boundary in Miniature

Conversation continuity is not identity continuity. That is the cleanest way to read OpenClaw issue #95325, a fresh cross-channel session bug where the same user talks to an agent in Slack and then Telegram under session.dmScope: "main". The chat moves. The delivery route updates. But Slack-specific origin

OpenClaw’s Safe-Redirection PR Draws the Line Between Approval Gates and Approval Theater

Approval prompts are a security feature until they become a reflex test. OpenClaw PR #95331 is interesting because it fixes a tiny annoyance — safe shell commands with harmless redirections like 2>/dev/null requiring manual approval — without pretending the shell is suddenly simple. That is the right ambition for

xAI’s Remote MCP and Code Execution Docs Show Grok Becoming an Agent Runtime, Not Just a Model Endpoint

xAI’s Remote MCP and Code Execution Docs Show Grok Becoming an Agent Runtime, Not Just a Model Endpoint

xAI’s Remote MCP and Code Execution docs are the kind of platform update that will not trend until somebody’s agent bill, security review, or tool-call log makes it impossible to ignore. That does not make it minor. This is Grok becoming an agent runtime, not merely a model

OpenClaw’s Slack member-info Fix Turns Sender Identity Into a Scoped Runtime Contract

“Default to the current user” is one of those product conveniences that sounds harmless until you ask the only question that matters: current according to whom? That is the identity lesson in OpenClaw PR #89236, a Slack member-info fix merged June 19. The immediate bug is simple. The Slack tool

OpenClaw 2026.6.9 Beta Is a Runtime-Hygiene Release Wearing a Telegram Changelog

OpenClaw 2026.6.9 Beta Is a Runtime-Hygiene Release Wearing a Telegram Changelog

OpenClaw’s 2026.6.9 beta looks, at first glance, like a Telegram polish release. Richer HTML delivery, better markdown preservation, sticker paths, progress drafts, command-output rendering — useful work, sure, but not the sort of thing that usually changes how an agent platform should be evaluated. That read is too

OpenClaw’s Hub-Delegated ACP Workers Make Multi-Agent Orchestration Less Thread-Shaped

OpenClaw’s ACP delegation work is easy to describe badly: “persistent external harness sessions without threads.” Accurate, but too small. The more interesting point is that PR #91093 admits something most multi-agent products still pretend is not true: the thread is a UI affordance, not an orchestration primitive. Discord and

Claude Code 2.1.183 Turns Auto Mode Safety From Advice Into a Hard Stop

Claude Code 2.1.183 Turns Auto Mode Safety From Advice Into a Hard Stop

Claude Code 2.1.183 is not a feature release pretending to be exciting. It is a brakes release pretending to be maintenance. That matters more. Anthropic shipped Claude Code v2.1.183 on June 19 with the kind of changelog line that should make every team running coding agents
