HybridClaw v0.22.0
Release Date: June 5, 2026
HybridClaw v0.22.0 focuses on release-ready operator ergonomics: a safer one-line installer, startup update prompts, Alexa integration, clearer Docker startup recovery, and richer audit trace exports for self-hosted agent operations.
Highlights
- Added a Linux/macOS one-line installer that ensures Node.js 22, installs the global CLI, checks Docker, and can run onboarding without requiring
sudo. - Added the
alexaskill with Alexa Skills Kit request verification, TTS-safe response building, account-link session exchange, guarded Smart Home API plans, and opt-in Alexa Remote workflows. - Added interactive startup update prompts for terminal launches so global installs can offer a current release before starting the TUI or gateway.
- Added gateway and TUI startup recovery for missing Docker, stopped Docker daemons, and Docker permission failures, including one-run host-mode fallback when the operator approves it.
- Added concise progress output for first-time agent runtime image setup, refreshes, and stale runtime updates.
Changed
- Tool execution audit events now retain redacted full result text for
/audit turnand ATIF trace exports, with runtime truncation controls for operators that need bounded retention. - CLI startup now fails fast on unsupported Node.js versions instead of deferring failures to dependency or runtime code paths.
- CI and test wiring now self-gates Docker-dependent e2e coverage and includes targeted coverage for container startup recovery, Node version guards, update prompts, audit exports, and Alexa helpers.
Fixed
- Provider API keys entered during onboarding are masked instead of echoed in terminal prompts or summaries.
- WhatsApp configuration changes restart the integration so pairing and policy updates take effect without a full gateway restart.
- OpenAI Codex device-code auth now uses the official
codex_cli_rsoriginator and acceptsusercoderesponses. - Runtime plugin loading handles
.tsplugin entrypoints throughamarofor Node.js 22.x compatibility. - The admin console applies the configured theme on every route.
- Scheduler heartbeat and idle/no-work results no longer create unnecessary proactive TUI deliveries.
- Dependency audit fixes and updated lockfile baselines clear high-severity transitive advisory coverage while preserving release signature checks.
