BridgesLLM Portal v3.26.1
OpenClaw 2026.7.1 upgrade-safety hotfix
This release protects long-lived Portal installations whose first OpenClaw 2026.7.1 startup can be blocked by legacy state or plugin metadata.
Fixed
- Detects legacy
.clawdbotstate and old plugin metadata before the first upgraded gateway start. - Preserves proven-obsolete artifacts in recoverable quarantine; ambiguous, malformed, symlinked, or custom layouts fail closed without destructive cleanup.
- Saves a local reinstallable copy of the exact previous OpenClaw package and automatically restores the prior package and prepared artifacts if the upgrade fails.
- Recovers standard-layout gateways already caught in a 2026.7.1 restart loop by waiting for OpenClaw's own startup-migration lease to expire; the lease is never deleted or bypassed.
- Requires real readiness before reporting success: HTTP health, authenticated RPC, pinned CLI/gateway version parity, a stable PID and restart count, a clean startup journal, and the expected migration checkpoint.
The updater continues to avoid openclaw doctor --fix and does not perform broad provider credential or SQLite cleanup.
