clawdbot/CHANGELOG.md

Changelog

Why this looks different: the project was renamed from Clawdis → Clawdbot. To make the transition clear, releases now use date-based versions (YYYY.M.D) and the changelog is compressed into milestone summaries. Full detail still lives in git history and the docs.

Unreleased

Highlights

• Models: add image-specific model config (agent.imageModel + fallbacks) and scan support.
• Agent tools: new image tool routed to the image model (when configured).

Fixes

• Android: tapping the foreground service notification brings the app to the front. (#179) — thanks @Syhids
• Cron tool passes id to the gateway for update/remove/run/runs (keeps jobId input). (#180) — thanks @adamgall
• macOS: treat location permission as always-only to avoid iOS-only enums. (#165) — thanks @Nachx639
• macOS: make generated gateway protocol models Sendable for Swift 6 strict concurrency. (#195) — thanks @andranik-sahakyan
• Onboarding: when running from source, auto-build missing Control UI assets (pnpm ui:build).
• Discord/Slack: route reaction + system notifications to the correct session (no main-session bleed).

2026.1.5

Fixes

• Control UI: render Markdown in chat messages (sanitized).

2026.1.4

Highlights

• Rename completion: all CLIs, paths, bundle IDs, env vars, and docs standardized on Clawdbot.
• Agent-to-agent relay: sessions_send ping‑pong with REPLY_SKIP plus announce step with ANNOUNCE_SKIP.
• Gateway quality-of-life: config hot reload, port config support, and Control UI base paths.
• Sandbox additions: per-session Docker sandbox with hardened limits + optional sandboxed Chromium.
• New node capability: location.get across macOS/iOS/Android (CLI + tools).
• Models CLI: scan OpenRouter free models (tools/images), manage aliases/fallbacks, and show last-used model in status.

Breaking

• Tool names drop the clawdbot_ prefix (browser, canvas, nodes, cron, gateway).
• Bash tool removes node-pty stdinMode: "pty" support (use tmux for real TTYs).
• Primary session key is fixed to main (or global for global scope).

Fixes

• Doctor migrates legacy Clawdis config/service installs and normalizes sandbox Docker names.
• Doctor checks sandbox image availability and offers to build or fall back to legacy images.
• Presence beacons keep node lists fresh; Instances view stays accurate.
• Block streaming/chunking reliability (Telegram/Discord ordering, fewer duplicates).
• WhatsApp GIF playback for MP4-based GIFs.
• Onboarding + Control UI basePath handling fixes and UI polish.
• Clearer tool summaries, reduced log noise, and safer watchdog/queue behavior.

• Skills and onboarding clarifications + additional examples.
