AlphaClaw 0.8.3

What's New

• Inspect chats end-to-end in one place: add a new realtime chat workspace so you can review conversation history, watch live tool activity, and follow active runs reliably across local and containerized setups.
• Use richer Slack operations from AlphaClaw: add bundled Slack enhancements (threading, reactions, uploads, message management, and channel/user lookups) so notifications and automations are more actionable in-place. (#44) Thanks @hnshah.
• Set up OpenRouter faster: surface OpenRouter as a core provider during setup so it is discoverable alongside other primary providers. Fixes [#30]. Thanks @hnshah.
• Stay aligned with latest OpenClaw baseline: move to openclaw@2026.3.28 for current compatibility and behavior.

Fixes

• Fix patching in hoisted installs: apply OpenClaw patches from the consumer project root so postinstall patching works reliably across install layouts.
• Fix provider credential validation: correctly validate non-core provider keys (including OpenRouter) during onboarding to prevent false missing-credential failures. Fixes [#38]. Thanks @hnshah.
• Improve watchdog Slack signaling: wire watchdog eventType through notification flows so crash/recovery reactions apply consistently.
• Stabilize node browser controls: move browser detach action to a clearer bottom-right position.
• Reduce update failures on slow disks: extend OpenClaw copy timeout during updates for slower volumes.

Internal

• Keep builds and CI cleaner: stop tracking generated UI artifacts and ensure UI build validation runs in CI. Fixes [#39]. Thanks @hnshah.
• Harden Slack test coverage and review fixes: align tests with Vitest and close blocking review gaps.
• Trim completed maintenance docs: remove finished implementation-plan artifacts. Fixes [#42]. Thanks @hnshah.
