Description

Summary Workspace dotenv files cannot override connector endpoint hosts. Affected Packages / Versions • Package: openclaw (npm) • Affected versions: <= 2026.4.21 • Fixed version: 2026.4.22 Impact A workspace .env file could set connector endpoint variables for Matrix, Mattermost, IRC, or Synology-related connectors and redirect runtime traffic away from the operator-configured endpoint. Fix Workspace .env loading now blocks those endpoint variables, including per-account Matrix homeserver suffixes and generic base-url/API-host style overrides. Trusted global runtime dotenv loading remains separate. Fix Commit(s) • 0623079e98abf7202591f1b04a89755eb7ec9272 Verification • The fix commit is contained in the public v2026.4.22 tag. • [email protected] is published on npm and the compiled package contains the fix. • Focused regression coverage for this path passed before publication.
