A grab-bag of UI and reliability fixes, two of which change how core features behave. v2.1.190 was bug-fixes-only; the changes most likely to affect your setup landed in v2.1.191:
/rewind now reaches across /clear: you can resume a conversation from before a /clear was run, instead of losing that history at the clear boundary.- Hooks with comma-separated matchers fire again (config fix): a hook configured with a matcher like
"Bash,PowerShell" was silently never firing. If you have hooks that match multiple tools in one entry, this is worth re-checking — they now run as intended.
- Stopping a background agent is now permanent: agents stopped from the tasks panel no longer resurrect themselves afterward. Stop now means stop.
- Sandbox network approvals stick: hosts you allow with "Yes" in the sandbox network-permission dialog are remembered for the rest of the session instead of re-prompting on every connection.
- MCP server reliability: capability discovery (
tools/list, prompts/list, resources/list) is more robust. Managed settings also improve — forceRemoteSettingsRefresh now takes effect under MDM/file policy, with a no-cache fetch so proxies can't serve stale config.
- Other fixes: scroll position no longer jumps to the bottom while you read earlier streaming output;
/voice explains the restriction when an org disables it instead of a generic "not available"; the /login URL no longer truncates when it wraps in Windows Terminal; Cmd+click on links works in fullscreen for Ghostty over ssh/tmux; claude agents stops sending builtin slash commands as prompt text and shows image placeholders correctly; /permissions Recently-denied approvals persist on close; and the welcome splash art no longer overflows an 80×24 Terminal window.

A new release focused on local-inference defaults and onboarding recovery. v0.0.67 release notes landed (#5749). The standouts for our readers:
- DGX Spark express install now defaults to managed vLLM (#5644): the express path on DGX Spark configures managed local vLLM instead of Ollama by default. If you were expecting Ollama as the Spark local-inference backend, the quickstart, prerequisites, and troubleshooting docs now describe Spark inference generically.
- Onboarding recovery hardened (#5641): if a
curl | bash install was interrupted before the sandbox was created, the installer used to dead-end on a forced --resume with exit 1 and no recovery path. It now classifies that as a fresh start and onboards with --fresh; a session with an existing sandbox still resumes.
- Deep Agents Code branded as its own product (#5669): onboarding a
langchain-deepagents-code sandbox no longer prints the OpenClaw product name at the branded steps — it now shows "LangChain Deep Agents Code" running under the nemoclaw CLI. A keepalive fix also stops these terminal-runtime sandboxes from flapping into an error state (#5725).
- Safer messaging-channel handling (#5743, #5673):
channels add on an agent whose manifest declares no messaging platforms (e.g. DeepAgents) is now rejected up front, before any sandbox mutation — previously it tore the sandbox down before failing. An empty platform allowlist is correctly treated as deny-all in channels list too.
- Doubled-namespace model ID fixed (#5672): onboarding a Deep Agents / OpenAI-compatible sandbox without an explicit
NEMOCLAW_MODEL recorded the model id with a duplicated nvidia/nvidia/ prefix; the default fallback constant is now the canonical single-prefix id.

OpenAI refreshed the chat-latest snapshot. The chat-latest alias — which points to the latest Instant model currently used in ChatGPT — was updated so API callers can test the newest chat-side improvements. OpenAI still recommends GPT-5.5 for production API usage; chat-latest is a moving target for experimentation, not a pin. Minor for most readers, but worth noting if you pin model snapshots.
