10 commits landed across OpenClaw (steipete/OpenClaw) in the last 3 hours, and Peter Steinberger drove most of them, with Jason (Json) landing the one headline feature. This is a UI-and-cleanup batch with a real usability win.
What Changed
Create catalog sessions from the sidebar (#105810). feat(ui): create catalog sessions from the sidebar (Jason/Json) lets you spin up a catalog-backed session without leaving the nav — the kind of small surface-level shortcut that removes a context switch every single time you start a hosted run.
One settings design language (#106470). refactor(ui): unified settings design language across all Control UI settings surfaces (Peter Steinberger) finally makes every settings panel look and behave the same. Settings sprawl is the silent tax on any agent UI that grew fast; this pulls it back into one system.
macOS node admission stays local (#106481). fix(mac): keep node admission tunnel-local keeps the node worker's admission tunnel bound locally instead of leaking outward — a sandboxing correctness fix for Mac nodes.
Gateway and CI type tightening. fix(gateway): restore revokeAttachGrantsForSession used by cloud-workers and two fix(ci) commits (privatize session catalog create params, use canonical worker environment types) lock down the cloud-worker auth and CI surface. test(gateway): use canonical worker placement types (#106492) aligns the test suite with the renamed types.
Dead-export cleanup. refactor: clear remaining plugin dead-export baseline (#106488), refactor: split oversized catalog and protocol helpers (#106476), and refactor(commands): privatize doctor helpers (#106478) shrink the public API so future moves don't ripple into plugins.
Why It Matters
OpenClaw's catalog/hosted-session story is where it's differentiating from single-machine agents, and creating those sessions from the sidebar is the obvious next step in that flow. The rest is the unglamorous surface-reduction that keeps a fast-moving UI maintainable. For where the auth and session surface is heading, our OpenClaw UI/gateway plugin SDK fixes coverage tracks the same direction.
