Kody v2026.08.31

OpenClaw 2.0 shipped this week with first-class MCP support, so Kody now treats it as a featured onboarding host instead of burying it under "Not listed." The rest of the night is housekeeping — a quality bar that enforces itself, a batch of oversized routes brought under budget, and a couple of real bug fixes.

New

  • OpenClaw 2 is now a first-class onboarding host. When you start the Get Started wizard, OpenClaw appears alongside Cursor and Gemini as a featured desktop agent. There's a new blog post explaining why a local-first Claw still needs a durable home, and the onboarding link from the article drops you straight into the OpenClaw setup flow. The post also gets friendlier headline art — the original 16:9 render made the lobster look a little menacing. (#1856, #1859)

  • New guide for offloading heavy work out of the sandbox. Some npm graphs — PDF rendering, document extraction — are too large to bundle inside Kody's sandbox. There's now an official guide that tells agents to keep the package as a thin orchestrator and run the heavy lifting in a process you operate, rather than trying to raise limits or invent a container. Error messages from check phases and artifact rebuilds now link straight to it. (#1847)

Improved

  • The codebase keeps itself honest. The quality bar is now enforced as automated checks — lint rules, file-size limits, banner bans, and unused-file detection — rather than a one-time audit sitting in the repo. That audit was added and then replaced by live checkers in the same release cycle, and a formatting snag that briefly blocked the deploy pipeline has been rewrapped. (#1848, #1850, #1860)

  • Every oversized page route has been split into focused modules. The account, onboarding, connect, secrets, integrations, MCP servers, email, landing, and record-table routes were all over the self-imposed line limit. Each is now broken along ownership seams with zero behavior change — same labels, same actions, same layout. (#1853, #1851, #1854, #1855, #1852, #1858, #1861, #1857, #1863)

  • Docs now describe the system as it is today. Usage and contributing docs caught up to the OpenClaw connect path, retired Values inventory lines, and OAuth refresh wording — no more rollout-tense leftovers or stale host notes. Completed-migration appendices were trimmed from the worker runbooks. (#1873, #1867)

Fixed

  • Promoting a plain repo to a package no longer fails with "source has moved." When you promote a git-lane repo to a package, Kody now seeds the publish pointer from the session it just opened — not a stale HEAD snapshot — so the kind flip doesn't trip the base-moved check. (#1849)

  • Onboarding Step 1 agent marks are visible in dark mode. The black Simple Icons were disappearing into the dark page background; they now sit on the same white logo well the rest of the wizard uses. (#1862)

  • Retired dead code from the onboarding checklist. The checklist no longer reads from a leftover values column that production already drained — the fallback branch is gone. (#1868)
