OpenClaw v2026.5.10-beta.2: QA/Mantis, upgrade notes

v2026.5.10-beta.2 arrived on 2026-05-10 with a change that matters during maintenance: qa/mantis. The page is a researched reading note from the official release record, with a test path for a real Gateway.

The tag is pre-release: keep it isolated from a production Gateway and compare it with the stable line before making it a default. Support still depends on the provider, channel, platform, and account behind the installation, so check those boundaries before extrapolating from the tag.

Before the package changes

Details behind the headline

CLI/gateway

keep gateway status --deep plugin-aware so configured plugin manifest warnings, including missing channel config metadata, stay visible during install and update smoke checks.

CLI/gateway lives at the handoff between the Gateway and a conversation. Send one harmless message, reconnect once, and compare the account, thread, sender, and final transcript.

Test this release without widening the boundary

1. Note the current version, host, provider, and workspace before exercising QA/Mantis.
2. Keep a tested backup beside the release record if the update can touch configuration, sessions, or a database.
3. Send one harmless message through the named account and save the account, thread, and sender identifiers.
4. Compare the transcript before and after reconnect, including delivery state and any visible error.
5. Stop if the observed behavior falls outside the official note, and link the log or screenshot to the version record.

Record what the release actually changed

Keep the version, source URL, test identity, and rollback decision together. If this tag is pre-release, leave it isolated; if it is stable, record the migration and rollback result before reconnecting every channel.

Corrections worth replaying

Telegram. pass agent-scoped media roots through gateway message actions so workspace-local media from the active agent is not rejected as cross-agent access. Keep the reproduction and the post-fix result together in the acceptance record.

CLI/gateway. keep gateway status --deep plugin-aware so configured plugin manifest warnings, including missing channel config metadata, stay visible during install and update smoke checks. Record the failure that this correction addresses before declaring the upgrade complete.
