One signal

OpenClaw has prepared extended-stable release v2026.7.35 with a repair that preserves the complete plugin inventory, according to the project’s official GitHub release entry.

Why it matters

The change backports an earlier plugin-inventory fix while leaving unrelated LINE and Mattermost setup changes out of the release. For operators on the extended-stable branch, that means a narrower maintenance update aimed at keeping plugin discovery and inventory records intact. It is not a glamorous feature launch, but reliable plumbing is what stops an agent platform becoming a cupboard full of mysterious cables. Users running that branch should check whether the release is available through their normal update path before assuming the inventory problem has fixed itself elsewhere.

Discuss: Should agent projects prioritise small, branch-specific reliability fixes like this over faster delivery of headline features?
