2026.5.14 — Claw Wars: The Sandbox Strikes Back

Released 2026-05-15

← All releases

What's New

  • Added exe.dev as a new sandbox provider, letting you spin up isolated environments directly from the exe.dev platform.
  • Introduced a workflow analytics dashboard with built‑in tracking, so you can see usage, success rates, and latency at a glance.
  • Added WorkingStatus and FinishedStatus enums to the agent lifecycle, giving pipelines clearer visibility into running and completed jobs.
  • Now logs the explicit reason why a claw was started, making audit trails easier to follow.
  • When a sandbox terminates early, ElasticClaw automatically posts a comment on the linked issue, keeping stakeholders in the loop.
  • Added the “Design” workflow, a ready‑made workspace for UI/UX design workflows.

Improvements

  • Bumped the bundled OpenClaw runtime to version 2026.5.12 for better compatibility and security patches.
  • Enhanced pipeline YAML parsing errors with richer logs and actionable hints, cutting down debugging time.
  • Refreshed the Design workflow UI and documentation for a smoother onboarding experience.

Fixes

  • Bridge now sends WebSocket ping frames on the status channel to stop idle disconnects.
  • elasticclaw‑config.yaml is now correctly included when loading workspace files.
  • Every repository clone attempt and its result are logged, helping diagnose visibility issues.
  • Bridge’s working directory is set to the workspace, so agents can locate cloned repos reliably.
  • Universal Daytona keep‑alive and status‑channel handling were hardened, improving overall claw reliability.
  • Guarded against double‑claw creation when webhooks fire in rapid succession.
  • Fixed the Shortcut workflow API and several shortcut‑related bugs (move_issue, manual trigger title prefixes, and other integration issues).
  • Updated shortcut.go and related integration poller code to resolve lingering edge‑case failures.
