    OpenClaw plugin now displays readable agent names in Clawd HUD

    A source-backed change was recorded for Computer Use Agents. Review the signal detail for evidence and context.

    What ChangedComputer Use Agents recorded a source-backed change that affects how teams should keep watching this topic.
    Why It MattersOperators can now tell which OpenClaw agent a session belongs to at a glance in the HUD, so concurrent agents with similar working directories are less likely to be confused and actions are less likely to target the wrong session. Technically, the change adds `session_title` to payload generation and a local config-backed name resolver with mtime-based cache, while preserving existing fallback (`raw id` or empty field) behavior for missing/invalid configs. Watch for stale-name behavior after live edits to `openclaw.json` in long-running processes and whether existing manual alias precedence still matches operator workflows.

    Telegram remote approval for Clawd permission prompts

    v0.8.0 adds a Telegram-based approval path for AI agent permission requests, letting users approve actions like Claude Code, CodeBuddy, Codex, and Pi prompts from a phone while keeping local approval bubbles as the default surface.

    Why It MattersTeams can now approve AI coding-agent permission requests from their phone, so remote operators are no longer forced to keep a desktop UI open to keep work moving during approval gates. The feature introduces a Telegram transport via a sidecar-backed approval relay and an opt-in fallback so request handling remains available when Telegram is offline, disabled, or in do-not-disturb; the next watch points are reliability and operator clarity. In practice, release notes already flag that in-flight Telegram approvals cannot yet be canceled, Telegram-side timeouts can leave local bubbles pending without timeout feedback, and broader macOS/Linux runtime checks were not fully completed.

    Prevent stale local workers from persisting across app upgrades

    The release includes a fix for stale local worker reuse across app versions, so upgraded clients stop carrying over obsolete local worker state from earlier versions.

    What ChangedThe release includes a fix for stale local worker reuse across app versions, so upgraded clients stop carrying over obsolete local worker state from earlier versions.
    Why It MattersOperators and developers upgrading Opencove are less likely to hit inconsistent runs after update, because local workers are prevented from reusing outdated state and are treated as fresh units for the new version. This appears to improve upgrade stability by isolating worker state transitions, so watch for first-start latency on update and verify that no stale worker IDs or cached sessions reappear in logs after repeated upgrades.

    browser-use 0.12.6: fix quadratic DOM-capture slowdown on heavy pages

    The release includes a performance change that fixes an O(n²) bottleneck in DOM capture for heavy pages, improving how browser-use agents handle complex documents as page size grows.

    What ChangedThe release includes a performance change that fixes an O(n²) bottleneck in DOM capture for heavy pages, improving how browser-use agents handle complex documents as page size grows.
    Why It MattersOperators running browser-use on complex or large websites will see faster page snapshot capture and fewer stalls during automation runs, which can reduce end-to-end task time and timeout disruptions. The release notes point to an explicit O(n²) capture bottleneck fix, so teams should track per-page capture latency (especially p95/p99) and timeout rates on large DOM workloads to confirm the performance gain and catch any remaining regressions.

    OpenClaw plugin now displays readable agent names in Clawd HUD

    Computer Use Agents showed a tracked change with evidence attached, making the topic easier to monitor over time.
    ContributionAdded explicit session title reporting for HUD: `buildPayload` now injects `session_title` extracted from `sessionKey`, then resolves display names via a cached lookup of `~/.openclaw/openclaw.json` `agents.list[]` using `identity.name` → `name` → `id`, with emoji prefix formatting and safe fallback when parsing or mapping fails.
    ImpactOperators can now tell which OpenClaw agent a session belongs to at a glance in the HUD, so concurrent agents with similar working directories are less likely to be confused and actions are less likely to target the wrong session. Technically, the change adds `session_title` to payload generation and a local config-backed name resolver with mtime-based cache, while preserving existing fallback (`raw id` or empty field) behavior for missing/invalid configs.

    Prevent stale local workers from persisting across app upgrades

    The release includes a fix for stale local worker reuse across app versions, so upgraded clients stop carrying over obsolete local worker state from earlier versions.
    ContributionAdds a lifecycle fix so local workers are not reused across app-version boundaries, preventing stale in-memory/runtime state from being applied after an upgrade.
    ImpactOperators and developers upgrading Opencove are less likely to hit inconsistent runs after update, because local workers are prevented from reusing outdated state and are treated as fresh units for the new version. This appears to improve upgrade stability by isolating worker state transitions, so watch for first-start latency on update and verify that no stale worker IDs or cached sessions reappear in logs after repeated upgrades.

    v0.8.0 adds a Telegram-based approval path for AI agent permission requests, letting users approve actions like Claude Code, CodeBuddy, Codex, and Pi prompts from a phone while keeping local approval bubbles as the default surface.
    ContributionAdded a mobile-first remote approval flow in Clawd: users can configure Telegram bot credentials and pairing in a dedicated settings tab, receive permission prompts in Telegram for approval/rejection, and continue using local bubbles as the primary path when Telegram is disabled or unavailable.

    The release includes a performance change that fixes an O(n²) bottleneck in DOM capture for heavy pages, improving how browser-use agents handle complex documents as page size grows.
    ContributionOptimized the DOM capture path in browser-use to remove a quadratic-time bottleneck on large pages.
