Netclaw 0.18.2

0.18.1 May 16 2026

Netclaw v0.18.1 — macOS binaries, provider renaming, shell subprocess cleanup, and stream stability fixes

Features

  • macOS (Apple Silicon) support — Netclaw now ships osx-arm64 self-contained binaries, and the install script supports macOS installs end-to-end with a Rosetta guard and an explicit Intel-Mac rejection. This is the first release to publish macOS binaries. Path-security checks were also corrected for macOS's /private symlink layout. launchd service install and notarization are tracked as follow-ups (#1015, #1016). (#1018)

  • Editable provider names + rename action — the provider add flow now opens with a dedicated Name step pre-filled with a suggested default, so multiple self-hosted endpoints (vLLM, llama.cpp) and aggregator accounts are no longer stuck with auto-generated names like my-vllm-2. A new [N] Rename action and CLI subcommand rename existing providers, cascading the change to Models.{Main,Fallback,Compaction}.Provider role references in the same atomic write. (#997)

  • Approval creation timestamps + gate near-miss diagnostics — persisted tool approvals now carry an optional createdAt timestamp, surfaced as a relative creation time in netclaw approvals list, its --json output, and the approvals TUI. When a shell pattern is prompted despite a same-verb persisted grant, the daemon now logs why it did not match (directory not under grant, symlink segment, verb-case mismatch). The on-disk schema is unchanged and existing approval files load without migration. (#1010)

Bug Fixes

  • shell_execute no longer orphans subprocesses — shell_execute could leave a subprocess running indefinitely when the kill branch was skipped on a timeout, and interactive Termina commands launched by a non-interactive caller would hang forever. Process kill is now driven off the linked cancellation token, and a remaining gap where ShellTool.Kill throwing Win32Exception left pipe reads hung at EOF is also closed. (#1019)

  • Tool results without a ToolCallId now fail loud — a missing ToolCallId is no longer coalesced to an empty value that handed approval matching and channel rendering a non-correlatable id; the session actor throws instead, surfacing the assembly bug. (#1023)

  • Proactive thread hydration re-armed — a proactively-created channel thread (such as a reminder posting via send_slack_message) no longer loses the message that opened it; a deferred hydration is now re-armed so the first authorized inbound completes it. (#1008)

  • Cached shell approval matches audited — cached shell approvals are now evaluated with full approval candidates and record PreviouslyApproved audit context.

  • netclaw approvals list fills the terminal — the approvals list previously showed only 10 of 100+ entries with a scrollbar floating in an empty panel; it now grows with the terminal height. (#1005)

  • Daemon no longer crashes on discarded stream tasks — Akka.Streams stages discarded internal Task<Done> instances that surfaced as daemon-unobserved crash logs during hot reload and idle passivation; those tasks are now observed. (#998)

  • Session log writes deterministic under Windows share-mode races — SessionLogFile.AppendLine now retries transient sharing violations with backoff and uses the canonical FileShare.ReadWrite|Delete mask, so concurrent readers no longer cause silently-dropped audit lines on Windows. (#996)

Dependencies

  • Upgraded ShellSyntaxTree to 0.1.5 and routed ExtractPatterns through BashParser. (#1007, #1020)
  • Bumped ModelContextProtocol.Core from 1.2.0 to 1.3.0. (#992)
