- Outbound/sanitizer: strip leaked `<tool_call>`, `<function_calls>`, and model special tokens from shared user-visible assistant text, including truncated tool-call streams, so internal scaffolding no longer bleeds into replies across surfaces. (#60619) Thanks @oliviareid-svg.
- Agents/output delivery: suppress `phase:”commentary”` assistant text at the embedded subscribe boundary so internal planning text cannot leak into user-visible replies or Telegram partials. (#61282) Thanks @mbelinky.
- Agents/errors: surface an explicit disk-full message when local session or transcript writes fail with `ENOSPC`/`disk full`, so those runs stop degrading into opaque `NO_REPLY`-style failures. Thanks @vincentkoc.
- Exec approvals: remove heuristic command-obfuscation gating from host exec so gateway and node runs rely on explicit policy, allowlist, and strict inline-eval rules only.
- Config/All Settings: keep the raw config view intact when sensitive fields are blank instead of corrupting or dropping the rendered snapshot. (#28214) Thanks @solodmd.
- Plugins/facades: back-fill facade sentinels before tracked-plugin resolution re-enters config loading, so facade exports stay defined during circular provider normalization. (#61180) Thanks @adam91holt.
- Discord/image generation: include the real generated `MEDIA:` paths in tool output and avoid duplicate plain-output media requeueing so Discord image replies stop pointing at missing local files.

@ -113,6 +113,7 @@ Important distinction:
- `tools.exec.host=auto` chooses where exec runs: sandbox when available, otherwise gateway.
- YOLO chooses how host exec is approved: `security=full` plus `ask=off`.
- In YOLO mode, OpenClaw does not add a separate heuristic command-obfuscation approval gate on top of the configured host exec policy.
- `auto` does not make gateway routing a free override from a sandboxed session. A per-call `host=node` request is allowed from `auto`, and `host=gateway` is only allowed from `auto` when no sandbox runtime is active. If you want a stable non-auto default, set `tools.exec.host` or use `/exec host=...` explicitly.
If you want a more conservative setup, tighten either layer back to `allowlist` / `on-miss`

@ -66,6 +66,7 @@ Notes:
- `tools.exec.ask` (default: `off`)
- No-approval host exec is the default for gateway + node. If you want approvals/allowlist behavior, tighten both `tools.exec.*` and the host `~/.openclaw/exec-approvals.json`; see [Exec approvals](/tools/exec-approvals#no-approval-yolo-mode).
- YOLO comes from the host-policy defaults (`security=full`, `ask=off`), not from `host=auto`. If you want to force gateway or node routing, set `tools.exec.host` or use `/exec host=...`.
- In `security=full` plus `ask=off` mode, host exec follows the configured policy directly; there is no extra heuristic command-obfuscation prefilter.
- `tools.exec.node` (default: unset)
- `tools.exec.strictInlineEval` (default: false): when true, inline interpreter eval forms such as `python -c`, `node -e`, `ruby -e`, `perl -e`, `php -r`, `lua -e`, and `osascript -e` always require explicit approval. `allow-always` can still persist benign interpreter/script invocations, but inline-eval forms still prompt each time.
- `tools.exec.pathPrepend`: list of directories to prepend to `PATH` for exec runs (gateway + sandbox only).
