Description
Summary
Heartbeat owner downgrade missed local async exec completion events.
Affected Packages / Versions
• Package: `openclaw`
• Ecosystem: npm
• Affected versions: `>= 2026.3.31 = 2026.4.10`
Impact
Local background exec completion text could be missed by heartbeat owner-downgrade detection, leaving a run in a more privileged context than intended after untrusted completion content.
Technical Details
The fix expands exec-completion detection to local background exec formats and adds targeted tests.
Fix
The issue was fixed in #64376. The first stable tag containing the fix is `v2026.4.10`, and `[email protected]` includes the fix.
Fix Commit(s)
• `19a2e9ddb5a8a494abcba812bb11f51075026a27`
• PR: #64376
Release Process Note
Users should upgrade to `openclaw` 2026.4.10 or newer. The latest npm release, `2026.4.14`, already includes the fix.
