OpenClaw v2026.9.8: replies land once; GPT-6.1 Sol does not
Official v2026.9.8 (43 PRs, 8 contributors named on the post; docs say the same scale). Delegated agent results return to the conversation that asked, once: inline if settled, or a single later delivery. Internal sessions no longer finish on NO_REPLY. Codex catalog processes hold fewer in-memory shell keys. Windows updates retry file locks; macOS npm updates accept aliased install paths. Docs are explicit that GPT-6.1 Sol was prepared (1.05M context, 128k output, 272k active input budget in OpenClaw) and was not complete in this release. Hannes Rudolph confirmed the miss: the bundled Codex CLI is 0.158.0 and needs a newer build. He posted three workarounds (updated ChatGPT app for computer use, force the OpenClaw runtime, or pin a 0.159.1+ Codex binary) and said 2026.9.9 is the fix. Not shipped by end of day.
Why it matters
Operators who upgraded for Sol will not get it from 9.8. The part that did ship is the multi-agent return path, which is the failure mode people actually hit.
