OpenClaw 2026.5.20

📅 May 21, 2026 · By Tony Slavin

OpenClaw 2026.5.20 brings stability improvements, security enhancements, and quality-of-life updates.

Improvements & Fixes

• CLI/tasks: include stale-running task maintenance decisions in `openclaw tasks maintenance –json` so retained and reconcile candidates explain backing-session, cron, CLI, and wedged-subagent state
• Codex app-server: keep system-prompt reports working when bootstrap hooks provide workspace files with only a path and content, so hook-supplied SOUL/IDENTITY/TOOLS/USER context still reports injected characters correctly. -Glasses
