The runtime polish and packaging release — automatic post-update gateway restarts, richer container image visibility, repaired Docker workspace bootstrapping, a cleaner Docker Hub release flow, and ordered-list rendering fixes across chat and docs.


Highlights

  • Automatic gateway restart after updatehybridclaw update --yes now restarts a running local gateway with its recorded launch flags when possible, and falls back cleanly to manual restart instructions when it cannot replay or signal the existing process.
  • Container image version visibilityhybridclaw gateway status and !claw status now show the active container image name, resolved version, and short image id, backed by OCI version labels on release-built images.
  • Ordered-list rendering restored across surfaces — web chat, static docs, and console markdown now preserve numbering across intervening bullets, support nested list indentation, and correctly render LLM-style **1. Heading** items.

Changed

  • Workspace-relative final deliverables — prompt hooks and the bundled PDF skill now reserve /tmp for scratch output and steer final PDFs, reports, and similar user-visible files into the workspace so they persist and can be attached.
  • Default agent image packaging now centers on Docker Hub — the packaged runtime pulls the default hybridclaw-agent image from Docker Hub, and the release workflow no longer publishes or advertises the dead GHCR fallback path.
  • Release metadata alignment — package, container, changelog, and image metadata are synced at 0.12.8, including OCI image version labels for release-built agent images.

Fixed

  • Docker workspace dependency bootstrap — container launches now pre-stage or repair the workspace node_modules symlink to /app/node_modules, so bundled JS skills can resolve repo-managed dependencies reliably inside Docker.
  • Safer external gateway restart flow — the restart helper now verifies spawn readiness and reports clearer failure reasons when the recorded gateway process cannot be replayed or signalled.
  • Docs and operator guidance alignment — README and mirrored runtime/command docs now reflect the current update, container status, and image-pull behavior shipped in this release.
