Pre-release July 7, 2026

Netclaw 0.25.0-beta.2

NetClaw Release Notes

UTF-8 BOM in skill frontmatter — Fixed: skill scanner now strips UTF-8 BOM (\uFEFF) before parsing YAML frontmatter, and populates SkillName on all SkillScanIssue records so degenerate frontmatter no longer crashes the scan (#1583)
Model capability provenance logging — Fixed: daemon now logs effective model capabilities with their provenance source, improving diagnostic visibility for model configuration issues (#1584)

Bump SkillServer — Netclaw.SkillClient 0.4.0-beta.1 → 0.4.0-beta.3 and adapt to API changes (#1593)

SkillServer native sub-agent sync — Optional native manifest sidecar sync for server-managed sub-agents, keeping RFC skill sync primary while downloading verified native artifacts when available. Local sub-agent files load before server-feed files so user-authored definitions always win (#1539)

Systemd shell tool PATH — Fixed: daemon now captures the operator's full PATH into the systemd EnvironmentFile instead of relying on a hardcoded list, so tools like ~/.dotnet/dotnet are visible to the shell tool (#1565)

Shared curation evaluator — Unified curation logic across both memory write pipelines (inline per-session actor and daemon checkpoint-worker) so they can never diverge again (#1575)
Memory audit quick wins — July 2026 audit: revived curation LLM, balanced prompt, and recall precision re-tune (#1568)

Environment-variable-only configuration — Fixed doctor misdiagnosis and OAuth config-file side effect that prevented daemon startup when configuration is supplied entirely via environment variables (#1569)
Remote daemon CLI — Fixed: CLI no longer demands a local daemon config file when the daemon is explicitly configured as remote (#1567)

Bump Anthropic SDK — 12.34.1 → 12.35.1 (#1561)
Bump Akka group — Akka.Cluster.Sharding and Akka.Persistence 1.5.69 → 1.5.70 (#1560)

GitHub Enterprise Copilot support — Authenticate GitHub Copilot tokens against GHE instances and route requests to the correct data residency endpoint (#1509, #1512, #1555)
Slack native processing status — Real-time processing indicators in Slack instead of generic "working" messages (#1524)
Reminder failure visibility — Operators can now see when reminders fail or are skipped (#1503)
Degraded startup mode — Daemon starts with a "no valid model" banner when no provider is configured, instead of failing host startup. Removed silent local-ollama default (#1540)
Synced skill resources via shell — Skill resources synced from the cloud can now execute via shell commands (#1551)

Autonomous sessions can write workspace directory — Fixed: autonomous sessions could not write to the workspace directory (#1498)
Reminder duplicate-execution guard — Fixed: Mode A reminder session wedge prevented the duplicate guard from releasing (#1500)
Reset stops daemon first — Fixed: netclaw reset now stops the daemon before proceeding and shows a progress screen (#1494)
MCP tool errors display cleanly — Fixed: MCP errors now show as attributed messages instead of raw JSON dumps (#1510)
TUI identity redo timezone loop — Fixed: identity redo would loop on timezone; also fixed session browser regression (#1518)
Subagent terminal result summaries — Fixed: subagent terminal results not displaying properly (#1519)
Flaky host crash during install reset — Fixed: thread-unsafe ReactiveProperty access during reset caused crashes (#1525)
Session browser selection highlight — Fixed: session browser didn't show selection highlight in TUI (#1531)
Slack active thread status refresh — Fixed: thread status not refreshing during tool loops and buffered messages (#1534)
Stable memory handles — Fixed: memory handles were unstable, affecting cross-session memory (#1538)
GHE Copilot routing — Fixed: GHE Copilot chat now routes to the token's endpoints.api host instead of hardcoded api.githubcopilot.com (#1555)
Security: Microsoft.OpenApi CVE-2026-49451 — Pinned to 2.7.5 to address vulnerability (#1543)

Removed silent local-ollama fallback — Users without any provider configured will now see a "no valid model" banner instead of an automatic fallback to local Ollama. Explicit provider configuration is now required for full functionality (#1540)

Log stream partitioned by session — Each session now gets its own session.log while daemon.log remains sparse. Cleaner logs and better observability with OTEL union support (#1499)
