OpenClaw's extended-stable line fixes a bug that could wipe bundled plugins

Your move: Affects the extended-stable (LTS-style) line, not the 2026.9.x releases

OpenClaw released v2026.7.35 on its extended-stable branch, the project's long-term-support-style track, on September 21, 2026. It fixes a bug where running the built-in Doctor repair tool could wipe out bundled plugins, including Browser, Canvas, pairing, file-transfer, phone-control, Talk voice, and Bonjour, so they didn't come back after a restart. The release also automatically recovers from a partially broken plugin registry left behind by the earlier 2026.7.34 build. OpenClaw says installs will heal existing broken registries automatically on upgrade.

Why it matters

If you self-host OpenClaw on the extended-stable track rather than the faster-moving 2026.9.x line, and you've run Doctor to repair your install, you could have silently lost core plugins. Update to this release, since it fixes the bug going forward and also repairs existing broken installs.
