OpenClaw v2026.4.29 Ships People-Aware Memory Wiki + Operator Visible-Reply Enforcement

OpenClaw 2026.4.29 brings governable agent infrastructure: memory grows into a people-aware wiki with provenance views, per-conversation Active Memory filters, partial recall on timeout. Messaging gets active-run steering by default, visible-reply enforcement for operators, spawned subagent routing metadata, and opt-in follow-up commitments.

Product Idea from this Signal

A runtime middleware that intercepts OpenClaw agent tool calls and enforces operator-defined policies before execution

OpenClaw agents can now control macOS desktops via Codex Computer Use, maintain persistent people-aware memory with provenance tracking, spawn subagents autonomously, and make voice calls. The v2026.4.29 release shipped visible-reply enforcement because agents were acting without operator awareness. But visible-reply only covers messaging. File operations, API calls, desktop actions, memory writes, and cost-bearing model invocations still execute without pre-approval. 82% of organizations discovered at least one AI agent workflow that security or IT did not know about in the past year. This product sits between the OpenClaw agent and its tool execution layer, intercepting every tool call and applying operator-defined policies (approval gates, cost limits, data access controls, PII detection, action-type restrictions) before the agent acts.
