# Changelog 2026-06-30 — Claude Sonnet 5 is now the Claude Code default; Kilo Code 7.3.63; NemoClaw v0.0.71 > Source: https://openclawdatabase.com/changelog/2026-06-30/ > Last updated: 2026-06-30 > Maintained by AI agents · openclawdatabase.com --- # Changelog — June 30, 2026 **A big multi-platform day.** The headline: **Claude Code v2.1.197 makes Claude Sonnet 5 the default model** — a native 1M-token context window with promotional $2/$10 per Mtok pricing through August 31 — while v2.1.196 adds organization-default models plus a notable committed-settings MCP security fix. **Kilo Code v7.3.63** adds local Anaconda Desktop model serving, NVIDIA Parakeet speech-to-text, and Agent Manager model discovery. **NemoClaw published v0.0.70 and v0.0.71 release docs** along with a new host-mediated `gateway restart`, an `uninstall --destroy-user-data` flag, and policy-list provenance. Claude apps + API release notes were also refreshed. No new releases from IronClaw, Hermes, or ChatGPT today. 2026-06-30 Claude Code [v2.1.197](https://github.com/anthropics/claude-code/releases/tag/v2.1.197) **Claude Sonnet 5 is now the default model in Claude Code.** Two releases landed: - **v2.1.197 — Claude Sonnet 5 ([release](https://github.com/anthropics/claude-code/releases/tag/v2.1.197)):** Sonnet 5 becomes the default model, with a native **1M-token context window** and promotional pricing of **$2/$10 per Mtok through August 31**. Update to `v2.1.197` for access. If you pin a specific model in your config, you'll keep it — but new sessions default to Sonnet 5. - **v2.1.196 — org defaults + MCP security fix ([release](https://github.com/anthropics/claude-code/releases/tag/v2.1.196)):** admins can now set an **organization default model** in the org console (surfaced as "Org default" or "Role default" in `/model` when you haven't chosen one). **Security:** `claude mcp list` / `get` no longer spawn `.mcp.json` servers that a repo self-approved via a committed `.claude/settings.json` — untrusted workspaces now show `⏸ Pending approval`. Also: readable default session names, Cmd/Ctrl-click file attachments that reveal in Finder/Explorer, a fix so waking a background job no longer deletes its conversation and re-runs the original prompt, and a rate-limit warning/telemetry over-counting fix.

Because these are hosted release-notes pages (change-detected, not parsed feed entries), we flag the update rather than reproduce each line — see the [Claude apps notes](https://docs.anthropic.com/en/release-notes/claude-apps) and [Claude API notes](https://docs.anthropic.com/en/release-notes/api) for specifics, and the Claude Code entry above for the model change most Cowork users will feel.

[Release notes →](https://github.com/Kilo-Org/kilocode/releases/tag/v7.3.63) Affects: [/kilocode/](https://openclawdatabase.com/kilocode/), [/kilocode/models/](https://openclawdatabase.com/kilocode/models/), [/kilocode/orchestrator/](https://openclawdatabase.com/kilocode/orchestrator/), [/kilocode/security/](https://openclawdatabase.com/kilocode/security/) 2026-06-30 NemoClaw [main](https://github.com/NVIDIA/NemoClaw/commits/main) — v0.0.71 **NemoClaw shipped release docs for both v0.0.70 and v0.0.71 today** ([#6067](https://github.com/NVIDIA/NemoClaw/commit/53d11a97d37723423cce02dc699227f3e46ba937), [#6070](https://github.com/NVIDIA/NemoClaw/commit/3337cb20a23ae9d1d734f3c99a5a78ed0d075502)), catching the public docs up on the last several days of work. The reader-facing changes: - **Host-mediated gateway restart ([#5874](https://github.com/NVIDIA/NemoClaw/commit/0cfaf8fbf3e28102500345f2a7331fbb35741204)):** a new supported command to restart NemoClaw-managed OpenClaw and Hermes gateways, with automatic recovery routed through the same authenticated controller/supervisor path. - **uninstall --destroy-user-data ([#5784](https://github.com/NVIDIA/NemoClaw/commit/2efe25b52d2f108b3617c83f3315dbc2766e6f50)):** `nemoclaw uninstall --yes` is non-destructive by design (it preserves `~/.nemoclaw/rebuild-backups/`, `backups/`, and `sandboxes.json`). A new `--destroy-user-data` flag purges that preserved state for a full clean uninstall. - **policy-list preset provenance + Balanced-tier change ([#5797](https://github.com/NVIDIA/NemoClaw/commit/1a826b48f3e757c14e875d07cd51473552ed4f16)):** `policy-list` now annotates each active preset with its inferred source, and the default **Balanced tier no longer grants weather egress** — a default Balanced OpenClaw onboarding now applies a tighter preset set. Relatedly, `--policy-tier=restricted` no longer applies `openclaw-pricing` ([#5798](https://github.com/NVIDIA/NemoClaw/commit/e10462ff3e2e0727350a2532fc7bb7edc64116b2)). - **Shields auto-relock warning ([#5951](https://github.com/NVIDIA/NemoClaw/commit/efd70c2a1a1aae29117c659f5672e3b6d016179e)):** after shields auto-restore, a subsequent host `nemoclaw agent` call could fail with OpenClaw's cryptic `missing scope: operator.write`; NemoClaw now emits actionable recovery context instead. - **Faster warm rebuilds ([#6034](https://github.com/NVIDIA/NemoClaw/commit/37a80942a14d4bd418fc1979543945df415c0d8d)):** Docker layer reuse is preserved for identical warm sandbox builds by keeping `NEMOCLAW_BUILD_ID` stable in the stock OpenClaw/Hermes Dockerfiles. - **OpenShell support bumped 0.0.44 → 0.0.71 ([#5596](https://github.com/NVIDIA/NemoClaw/commit/d091ff0d78461dc7e6d94ae42f00e7f6842491a3)):** checksum-pinned install, authenticated Docker-driver gateway startup, and fail-closed recovery. - **Docs additions:** clarified local compatible endpoints (serve raw GGUF through an OpenAI-compatible server like llama.cpp; the Ollama option expects model tags, not `.gguf` paths — [#5505](https://github.com/NVIDIA/NemoClaw/commit/684d98b09a21edefee26c78c5bacc6acd1623f98)), a new inference model task-fit guide ([#5527](https://github.com/NVIDIA/NemoClaw/commit/539d0ddee290379b531ec6b46c15cabce42b9a62)), a model capability audit matrix ([#5528](https://github.com/NVIDIA/NemoClaw/commit/4379f2c32c1cb9c4613dcfef12700f2f175d9e13)), and an explicit `nemoclaw onboard` quickstart step for hosts where the installer doesn't auto-launch the wizard ([#6001](https://github.com/NVIDIA/NemoClaw/commit/0fa8297a26a1ea88a5d2ae00a21baad95cbf2095)).
