Changelog — June 22, 2026

A big opencode upstream sync (v1.15.9 → v1.15.13). The most useful additions for day-to-day work:

• Configurable headerTimeout for provider requests, with a 10-second default for stock OpenAI setups — helps when a slow provider would otherwise hang the request headers.
• Background agents push updates without polling (experimental), so long-running background work reports progress more promptly.
• Smarter config loading: config now resolves from the opened location upward, so directory-specific settings and provider policies apply more predictably in nested projects.
• You can now set only modalities.input or modalities.output in config (no longer all-or-nothing).
• Sessions can store custom metadata through the API and SDK; remote-backed projects now resolve a stable project identity.
• Opt-in WebSocket transport for OpenAI responses (KILO_EXPERIMENTAL_WEBSOCKETS=true) and ACP integrations that can send prompts, slash commands, and usage updates through acp-next.
• Bugfixes: dynamically-added MCP servers now disconnect cleanly when removed; DigitalOcean inference uses your OAuth token directly instead of minting a managed account.

No new release, but a worthwhile onboarding fix. The headline (#5469, fixes #5466): when you run nemoclaw onboard interactively with more than one agent available, the wizard now renders a numbered agent-selection picker (OpenClaw as default, then Hermes, etc.) instead of silently configuring OpenClaw and forcing you to reach Hermes via --agent/NEMOCLAW_AGENT. Two smaller CLI fixes: nemoclaw onboard now auto-detects resume from an interrupted in_progress session (#5487), and … exec --workdir <path> now validates the directory exists inside the sandbox first, returning a friendly "--workdir: <path> does not exist" instead of a raw cd: No such file or directory (#5499). The rest of the day was internal: PR Review Advisor tooling, an inventory refactor, test-fixture hygiene, and more E2E migrations to Vitest.
