v1.9.39 Highlights
Scheduled-run reliability release: stale workspace rebinding, fail-fast credential checks, and durable delivery evidence for schedule-driven sends.
- Legacy workspace cwd migration. Scheduled reruns and reused schedule sessions pinned to a pre-migration workspace root (e.g.
~/.swarmclaw/workspace) are now rebound to the current WORKSPACE_DIR automatically; intentional custom working directories are never touched. - Orphan recovery dedup. Startup queue recovery now recovers each orphaned task once instead of re-logging it every tick, and dead-letters tasks that repeatedly return to the queue without starting.
- Schedule delivery status. Every scheduled run now writes
lastDeliveryStatus/lastDeliveryError back to its schedule, so failures are visible without digging through task records. - Credential preflight for schedules. Scheduled runs on API-key providers fail fast with an actionable error when no credential resolves, instead of dying on a 401 deep in execution.
- Empty-run classification. Runs that produce no text, no tool calls, and no error now fail with a clear provider-configuration message instead of a generic validation failure.
- Durable connector delivery evidence. Task follow-up sends route through the connector outbox with task/schedule linkage, retries with backoff, and per-run dedupe, so triage can prove whether a scheduled send succeeded, failed, or was never attempted.
- Regression coverage. Added tests for workspace path normalization, orphan recovery, schedule outcome writes, credential preflight, empty-run classification, and outbox-backed follow-ups.
v1.9.38 Highlights
PR integration release for provider catalog coverage, OpenRouter context meters, and safer unsigned macOS desktop artifacts.
- TokenMix provider. Added TokenMix as a built-in OpenAI-compatible provider with setup metadata, starter-agent defaults, and provider health checks.
- OpenRouter context meters. Chat context status now uses cached OpenRouter model metadata when available so routed model context windows display accurately.
- macOS unsigned artifact fallback. Desktop releases publish zip-only macOS artifacts when signing/notarization inputs are missing, avoiding the unsigned DMG damaged-app path.
- Regression coverage. Added targeted tests for TokenMix setup, OpenRouter context metadata caching, and macOS target selection.
v1.9.37 Highlights
Theme and memory-pressure release for lighter UI preferences and leaner chat history storage.
- Light, dark, and system theme modes. Settings → Appearance now persists a Light/Dark/System selector while keeping the existing hue presets and custom color picker.
- Lean session history storage. Legacy transcript blobs migrate into the
session_messages table and are compacted from session records after persistence is verified, reducing page-load memory pressure on lower-RAM devices. - Repo-backed message readers. Global search, live usage summaries, and OpenClaw history merge now read table-backed messages after transcript compaction.
- Regression coverage. Added tests for theme-mode normalization, legacy transcript compaction, and repo-backed message search.
v1.9.36 Highlights
Protocol builder visibility release for built-in Structured Sessions.
- Built-in flow inspector. Built-in protocol templates now open in a full-size visual builder canvas with a read-only template step panel.
- Canvas viewport repair. Builder routes now claim the full dashboard workspace and refit React Flow after async template loads.
- Regression coverage. Browser smoke now verifies that the built-in facilitated discussion graph renders with visible flow nodes.
v1.9.35 Highlights
Installed package build fix for fresh npm-global installs and upgrades.
- Fallback build dependency fix. The npm package now declares
mime-types and @types/mime-types directly so swarmclaw server --build can type-check the OpenClaw media proxy on clean installs. - Installed-build regression guard. CLI/package tests now verify that unbundled type declarations needed by local fallback builds ship as runtime package dependencies.
- macOS desktop status. The damaged-app issue remains open until Developer ID signing and Apple notarization are configured and verified on downloaded macOS artifacts.
v1.9.34 Highlights
Credential recovery and external extension access release for npm-global upgrades and scoped agent tool configuration.
- Credential secret recovery. Startup now checks prior npm-global build env files before accepting a fresh per-version
CREDENTIAL_SECRET, and validates candidate secrets against existing encrypted credentials before persisting DATA_DIR/credential-secret. - Clear connector failures. Connector startup now logs and surfaces credential decrypt failures directly instead of falling through to a misleading "No bot token configured" error.
- External extension tools. Scoped agents now keep explicitly attached external
*.js and *.mjs extensions, and the agent/chat tool controls persist enabled external tools through the extensions field. - Regression coverage. Added tests for previous-build credential recovery, non-decrypting secret replacement, scoped external extension access, and extension access persistence.
v1.9.33 Highlights
Issue and PR validation release for credential durability, delegated task dispatch, connector output hygiene, and OpenClaw gateway protocol compatibility.
- Credential durability. Execute-tool credential injection now reads the persisted
encryptedKey field, and CREDENTIAL_SECRET now resolves in a stable order: explicit environment value, DATA_DIR/credential-secret, legacy env files, then generated fallback. - Delegated task dispatch. Agent-created tasks delegated to another agent auto-queue when no explicit status is supplied, and failed dead-lettered tasks can be requeued through
POST /api/tasks/:id/retry. - Connector output hygiene. Connector replies now reuse the internal metadata scrubber before delivery and persistence, while successful non-connector delivery tool output is no longer overwritten as an unconfirmed send.
- Agent and gateway compatibility. Agent updates preserve workspace filesystem settings, and OpenClaw gateway routes now use protocol version 4.
- Regression coverage. Added tests for credential env injection, secret precedence, delegated queueing, failed-task retry, connector sanitization, agent workspace settings, and OpenClaw gateway protocol exports.
v1.9.32 Highlights
PR integration release for background model routing, reflection memory controls, and current ClawHub install guidance.
- Background model routing. Per-agent
dreamConfig overrides can route dream cycles and daily digests before global dream settings, while compactionProvider settings can route live auto-compaction summaries through a cheaper or faster model. - Reflection memory controls.
reflectionMinQuality gates automatic reflection memory writes without dropping the reflection record, and optional embedding dedup skips near-duplicate reflection notes when embeddings are configured. - ClawHub install guidance. OpenClaw skill docs now use
openclaw skills install swarmclaw and current owner-scoped ClawHub links. - Regression coverage. Added tests for dream override precedence, compaction preference resolution, reflection quality gating, and embedding-based reflection dedup.
v1.9.31 Highlights
Documentation cleanup release for public release notes and OpenClaw guidance. No runtime behavior changed.
- Public docs cleanup. Removed an unwanted third-party example from the README and site release notes.
- OpenClaw guidance preserved. The README keeps the SwarmClaw-native OpenClaw gateway, skill, and agent-file guidance without naming unrelated workflows.
v1.9.30 Highlights
PR integration release for dream-model routing, email bridge TLS opt-outs, and installed CLI runtime resolution.
- Dream model routing. Memory dream cycles and daily digests can use optional
dreamProvider settings so background consolidation can run on a smaller local model. - Email bridge TLS opt-outs.
tlsRejectUnauthorized=false now disables hostname checks too, matching the explicit self-signed-server opt-out. - Installed CLI stability. Legacy API-backed CLI commands import the package-local
tsx runtime instead of resolving tsx from the caller's project.
v1.9.29 Highlights
Issue-fix release for Edit Agent tooltips, installed package builds, and structured dream output on local Ollama models.
- Edit Agent tooltips. Help tips in the Edit Agent sheet now render above modal layers instead of being hidden behind the dialog.
- Installed package builds. The npm package now ships the Dagre type declarations needed by
swarmclaw server --build. - Local Ollama dream output. Structured dream/reflection calls request Ollama JSON mode and validate balanced JSON before writing memories.
- Regression coverage. CLI/package, model-build, and dream-parser tests cover the reported failure modes.

- Extensions: external tool extensions, UI modules, hooks, install/update flows, and managed resource manifests for extension-owned agents, routines, local folders, gateways, and setup checks.
v1.9.40 Highlights
Multi-architecture container images and a new provider.
- Multi-arch Docker images.
ghcr.io/swarmclawai/swarmclaw is now published for both linux/amd64 and linux/arm64, so ARM64 servers (and Apple Silicon) can pull :latest or a pinned tag directly instead of building the image locally. - Requesty provider. Added Requesty as a built-in OpenAI-compatible provider, with setup defaults and a key link, following the standard provider pattern.
v1.9.39 Highlights
Scheduled-run reliability release: stale workspace rebinding, fail-fast credential checks, and durable delivery evidence for schedule-driven sends.
- Legacy workspace cwd migration. Scheduled reruns and reused schedule sessions pinned to a pre-migration workspace root (e.g.
~/.swarmclaw/workspace) are now rebound to the current WORKSPACE_DIR automatically; intentional custom working directories are never touched. - Orphan recovery dedup. Startup queue recovery now recovers each orphaned task once instead of re-logging it every tick, and dead-letters tasks that repeatedly return to the queue without starting.

v1.9.33 Highlights
Issue and PR validation release for credential durability, delegated task dispatch, connector output hygiene, and OpenClaw gateway protocol compatibility.
- Credential durability. Execute-tool credential injection now reads the persisted
encryptedKey field, and CREDENTIAL_SECRET now resolves in a stable order: explicit environment value, DATA_DIR/credential-secret, legacy env files, then generated fallback. - Delegated task dispatch. Agent-created tasks delegated to another agent auto-queue when no explicit status is supplied, and failed dead-lettered tasks can be requeued through

- Background model routing. Per-agent
dreamConfig overrides can route dream cycles and daily digests before global dream settings, while compactionProvider settings can route live auto-compaction summaries through a cheaper or faster model. - Reflection memory controls.
reflectionMinQuality gates automatic reflection memory writes without dropping the reflection record, and optional embedding dedup skips near-duplicate reflection notes when embeddings are configured. - ClawHub install guidance. OpenClaw skill docs now use
openclaw skills install swarmclaw and current owner-scoped ClawHub links. - Regression coverage. Added tests for dream override precedence, compaction preference resolution, reflection quality gating, and embedding-based reflection dedup.
v1.9.31 Highlights
Documentation cleanup release for public release notes and OpenClaw guidance. No runtime behavior changed.
- Public docs cleanup. Removed an unwanted third-party example from the README and site release notes.
- OpenClaw guidance preserved. The README keeps the SwarmClaw-native OpenClaw gateway, skill, and agent-file guidance without naming unrelated workflows.
v1.9.30 Highlights
PR integration release for dream-model routing, email bridge TLS opt-outs, and installed CLI runtime resolution.
- Dream model routing. Memory dream cycles and daily digests can use optional
dreamProvider settings so background consolidation can run on a smaller local model. - Email bridge TLS opt-outs.

- Edit Agent tooltips. Help tips in the Edit Agent sheet now render above modal layers instead of being hidden behind the dialog.
- Installed package builds. The npm package now ships the Dagre type declarations needed by
swarmclaw server --build. - Local Ollama dream output. Structured dream/reflection calls request Ollama JSON mode and validate balanced JSON before writing memories.
- Regression coverage. CLI/package, model-build, and dream-parser tests cover the reported failure modes.
v1.9.28 Highlights
Issue-fix release for installed CLI groups, email bridge TLS handling, built-in model overrides, and Windows desktop native modules.
- Installed CLI groups. Global npm installs route legacy API-backed group commands through the bundled TS runtime when installed under
node_modules, avoiding Node 22.6+/25 type-stripping failures. - Email bridge TLS resilience. The email connector logs IMAP socket errors without crashing the daemon and supports
tlsRejectUnauthorized=false for local self-signed IMAP/SMTP servers. - Provider model override persistence. Built-in provider live model saves now reload array-valued overrides instead of falling back to catalog defaults.
- Windows desktop native modules. Desktop packaging syncs rebuilt Electron-native modules into traced
.next/node_modules aliases so packaged Windows installs start against the correct ABI. - Regression coverage. CLI, email, provider route, and Electron after-pack tests cover the reported failure modes.
v1.9.27 Highlights
Desktop compatibility and provider-save repair for Intel Mac users and OpenRouter setup.
- Intel macOS native modules. The desktop packaging hook now rebuilds Electron-loaded native modules with the target architecture and blocks a release if an x64 macOS bundle contains an arm64-only required addon.
- OpenRouter save repair. Provider updates now tolerate UI metadata fields like
id, type, createdAt, and updatedAt without persisting them, while still rejecting unrelated unknown fields. - Downloads clarity. The downloads page no longer guesses Apple Silicon when a browser hides the Mac architecture, so Intel users can choose the x64 DMG explicitly.
- Regression coverage. Provider route and Electron after-pack tests cover the reported failure modes.
v1.9.26 Highlights
Output hygiene follow-up: empty successful LLM turns now stay silent instead of being rewritten as user-visible errors.
- Silent empty completions. Blank successful runs no longer become
Error: Run completed... assistant messages. - Connector-safe final text. Slack and other connectors no longer receive synthetic error text for intentional silence or quiet no-op turns.
- Real errors preserved. Explicit provider failures and streamed provider errors still surface as terminal errors.
- Regression coverage. Chat-execution tests now lock the distinction between empty success and real failure.
v1.9.25 Highlights
Gateway lifecycle release: saved OpenClaw gateways now have explicit operator lifecycle controls, automatic routing avoids gateways that should not receive new work, and Slack peer-agent messages flow through the existing connector policy gates.
- Gateway lifecycle controls. Providers can activate, drain, cordon, and request restart for saved OpenClaw gateway profiles.
- Routing guardrails. OpenClaw route selection skips draining and cordoned profiles, including default, preferred, and pinned gateway paths.
- Operations Pulse awareness. Cordoned and draining gateways now appear as operator attention items before they surprise a handoff or release check.
- CLI lifecycle access.
swarmclaw gateways activate, drain, cordon, and restart now post the matching lifecycle action for automation and release scripts. - Slack peer collaboration. Slack peer-bot messages are no longer dropped before group policy, mention, and self-loop protections run.
v1.9.23 Highlights
Schedule reliability release: recurring work now repairs stale timing state before it can skip the nearest run, and scheduled board tasks keep mission context across repeat launches.
- Cron drift repair. Active cron schedules repair missing or invalid
nextRunAt values and stale future cron slots before the scheduler decides whether work is due. - Tick-time advancement. Cron and interval schedules now advance from the scheduler tick time instead of the process wall clock, making restart and catch-up behavior deterministic.
- Stable stagger. Schedule stagger offsets are deterministic per schedule, avoiding thundering-herd launches without moving a saved next-run target on every recompute.
- Mission continuity. Schedule-created board tasks attach to a persistent mission link, so recurring runs share the same operational context.
v1.9.22 Highlights
Research tools release: agents now get direct web_extract and web_crawl tools alongside web_search, web_fetch, and the unified web tool.
- Source-grounded extraction.
web_extract returns a page title, canonical URL, and readable content for known source URLs. - Bounded crawls.
web_crawl walks same-origin links by default with conservative page and depth caps, plus an explicit external-link opt-in. - Better routing. Tool aliases, capability policy, planning hints, continuation recovery, and the chat UI all recognize the granular research tools.
- Regression coverage. New tests cover action inference, tool-call translation, direct tool registration, extraction cleanup, and same-origin crawl bounds.
v1.9.21 Highlights
Provider diagnostics release: connection checks now return a structured step timeline across setup, provider settings, and agent editing.
- Connection timelines. Provider checks show endpoint resolution, model discovery, fallback selection, and chat/gateway verification steps.
- Safer error details. Token-like values are redacted before check messages or diagnostics are returned to the UI.
- Local runtime debugging. LM Studio, Ollama, custom OpenAI-compatible endpoints, cloud providers, OpenClaw gateways, and CLI providers all report concise pass/fail diagnostics.
- macOS signing path. Desktop releases now forward Developer ID and Apple notarization credentials when configured, while ad-hoc fallback builds keep the quarantine workaround documented.
v1.9.20 Highlights
Provider reliability release: local OpenAI-compatible runtimes now get safer endpoint handling, clearer setup, and first-class LM Studio support.
- LM Studio provider. LM Studio is available in setup, provider settings, agent editing, model discovery, and connection checks with an optional API key.
- Endpoint normalization. LM Studio and OpenAI-compatible OpenAI overrides normalize bare hosts like
http://127.0.0.1:1234 to /v1 before calling models or chat completions. - Provider switch isolation. Switching an agent from a local endpoint back to a fixed cloud provider clears stale per-agent endpoints and fallback keys.
- Manual model flow. Provider model saves now preserve explicit empty endpoint resets and optional-key providers can be tested without creating a credential.
v1.9.19 Highlights
Output hygiene release: final assistant responses now use the shared internal metadata scrubber before persistence, UI reset, connector delivery, and completion hooks.
- Multi-block scrubbing. Repeated internal metadata payloads are stripped in one pass instead of stopping after the first block.
- Malformed prelude cleanup. When a validated internal block is followed by a malformed internal fragment, the leftover prelude is removed before user-facing text is delivered.
- Shared finalizer path. Post-stream finalization now uses the same metadata scrubber as the chat UI, keeping stored, streamed, and connector-visible output aligned.
- Regression coverage. Tests cover repeated classifier-shape blocks, malformed follow-on fragments, and false-positive protection for malformed text without a prior validated strip.
v1.9.18 Highlights
Schedule preflight release: schedules now show server-backed timing forecasts before save, with timezone-aware cron previews and warnings for risky drafts.
- Schedule preview API.
POST /api/schedules/preview validates a draft schedule through the same normalization path as saved schedules and returns the next calculated runs. - Timezone-aware schedule sheet. Cron schedules can set an explicit timezone, preview the next runs from the server, and see warnings before saving.
- Stagger and one-shot controls. Operators can add a stagger window to recurring schedules and choose a run-once delay from the schedule workflow.
- CLI access.
swarmclaw schedules preview --data '{...}' exposes the same forecast for scripts and release automation.
v1.9.17 Highlights
Agent configuration history release: SwarmClaw now surfaces saved agent versions directly in the agent editor, giving operators a fast rollback path for agent settings.
- Agent sheet history. Advanced settings list recent saved versions with relative time, actor, and provider/model snapshot.
- One-click restore. Operators can restore a prior agent configuration through the existing version-restore API without leaving the agent workflow.
- Stale-form protection. Successful restore reloads agent state and closes the sheet so operators reopen the refreshed record.
- Regression coverage. New tests cover config-version list/restore routes and summary formatting.
v1.9.16 Highlights
Agent planning controls release: strict planning is now a first-class agent setting instead of a hidden persisted field, so operators can decide which agents must expose machine-readable plans before multi-step work.
- Agent editor control. Advanced agent settings now include a Standard / Strict planning selector with inline behavior guidance.
- Runtime prompt wiring. Strict planning continues to inject the existing
[MAIN_LOOP_PLAN] contract before multi-step tool work, and the test suite now keeps that prompt section in the runtime gate. - Portable agent packs. Agent exports preserve
planningMode, so planning discipline follows agents across installs. - API coverage. Agent create and update route tests verify that strict planning persists without clobbering unrelated settings.
v1.9.15 Highlights
Run handoff release: SwarmClaw now turns completed, failed, queued, or running execution records into copyable handoff packets with outcome, evidence, artifacts, timeline, usage, resume commands, and recommended next actions.
- Run handoff API.
GET /api/runs/:id/handoff returns structured handoff JSON, and ?format=markdown returns copyable markdown. - Run Review copy action. The run detail sheet exposes a copy handoff button so operators can move outcome evidence into another session without replaying the full event log.
- CLI access.
swarmclaw runs handoff <runId> --query format=markdown exposes the same packet for scripts and release automation. - Readiness guidance. Packets mark failed, cancelled, running, warning, or under-evidenced runs as blocked or needing attention before another operator relies on the result.
v1.9.14 Highlights
Session context-pack release: SwarmClaw now turns a live chat into a concise handoff packet with session metadata, recent visible turns, linked tasks, attachments, resume handles, and next actions.
- Context-pack API.
GET /api/chats/:id/context-pack returns structured handoff JSON, and ?format=markdown returns copyable markdown. - Chat header copy action. Active chats with messages expose a context-pack button for quick handoff to another operator or backend.
- CLI access.
swarmclaw chats context-pack <chatId> --query format=markdown exposes the same packet for scripts and release automation. - Smoke coverage. Runtime tests and the browser smoke gate now verify the context-pack route and markdown response.
v1.9.13 Highlights
Architecture health release: SwarmClaw now turns runtime ownership, dispatch, memory, startup, and quality evidence into a scored operator report.
- Architecture Health report.
/api/quality/architecture-health returns a structured inventory of runtime domains, surfaces, owners, guardrails, tests, score, risks, warnings, and next actions. - Quality Center visibility.
/quality now shows a Runtime Ownership Map beside release readiness so operators can inspect dispatch, memory, startup, and quality coverage before shipping. - Release gate integration. Release readiness includes architecture health when scoring the ship gate report, blocking or warning when ownership evidence is incomplete.
- CLI access.
swarmclaw operations architecture-health exposes the same report for automation and release scripts.
v1.9.12 Highlights
Local file-queue connector release: operators can bridge SwarmClaw to filesystem inbox, outbox, archive, and error folders without a hosted message bus.
- File Queue connector. Configure root, inbox, outbox, archive, and error folders from the connector sheet or CLI.
- JSON command ingress. External tools can drop command envelopes into the inbox, then SwarmClaw normalizes them into connector messages for the selected agent or chatroom.
- Durable file handling. Processed commands move to archive, malformed commands move to errors with diagnostic sidecars, and replies are written to outbox as structured JSON.
- Connector runtime parity. Queue traffic uses the existing connector session, policy, health, readiness, CLI, and follow-up delivery paths.
v1.9.11 Highlights
Task execution policy release: operators can attach ordered review, approval, and verification stages to board tasks, record decisions, and block premature completion until required stages clear.
- Task execution policies. Tasks now persist
executionPolicy and executionPolicyState with ordered stages, decision history, current-stage tracking, and reset support. - Completion guardrails.
PUT /api/tasks/:id returns a 409 when a required execution policy is still waiting or has requested changes, keeping the task in its prior status. - Policy API and CLI.
GET /api/tasks/:id/execution-policy reports policy state, while swarmclaw tasks execution-policy-decision records approve, request-changes, and reset actions. - Operator UI and handoffs. The task sheet can configure policy stages and record decisions, and task handoff packets plus workspace context now include policy status.
v1.9.10 Highlights
Task handoff release: operators can package task state, readiness, workspace context, dependencies, outputs, and resume handles into a shareable packet before continuing work.
- Task handoff packets.
GET /api/tasks/:id/handoff returns a structured packet with owner, liveness, workspace, runtime links, dependencies, quality checks, outputs, run summary, and recommended actions. - Workspace snapshots.
POST /api/tasks/:id/handoff prepares a workspace when needed and writes handoff.md plus handoff.json beside the task context files. - Board-level triage.
GET /api/tasks/handoffs lists readiness packets with ready, needs-attention, and blocked counts so operators can scan handoff risk across the board. - CLI and UI access.
swarmclaw tasks handoff, swarmclaw tasks handoff-save, and swarmclaw tasks handoffs expose the workflow for scripts, while the task sheet can copy, open, or save packets.
v1.9.9 Highlights
Schedule revision timeline release: schedule edits, lifecycle changes, and run evidence now stay inspectable from UI, API, and CLI surfaces.
- Schedule history ledger. Schedules now carry a bounded revision history for create, update, archive, restore, skipped, failed, and run-started events.
- History console. The Schedule Console adds a searchable History tab with revision badges, actor labels, and before/after change summaries.
- API and CLI access.
GET /api/schedules/:id/history and swarmclaw schedules history <id> expose the same timeline for scripts and operator audits. - Runtime evidence. Manual runs and scheduler-fired runs append history entries, while storage normalization caps old entries and keeps legacy schedules compatible.
v1.9.8 Highlights
Bundled release-readiness release: a single operator report that combines eval gates, operations blockers, approvals, and runtime readiness.
- Release readiness report.
/api/quality/release-readiness returns a scored ready/warning/blocked report built from eval regression gates and Operations Pulse evidence. - Quality Center ship gate. The Quality overview now shows readiness score, blockers, warnings, checks, and next actions before operators cut a release.
- CLI readiness checks.
swarmclaw operations readiness exposes the same report for scripts and CI. - Browser coverage. The e2e smoke now verifies the release-readiness panel on

v1.9.7 Highlights
Bundled eval-gate release: approved baselines, regression checks, and Quality Center release gates for repeatable eval evidence.
- Eval regression baselines. Operators can snapshot the latest scenario or suite score as an approved baseline with minimum score and regression allowance settings.
- Release gate API.
/api/eval/gate compares current eval evidence against thresholds and baselines, while /api/eval/baselines lists and updates approved baselines. - CLI gate checks.
swarmclaw eval gate, swarmclaw eval baselines, and swarmclaw eval baseline-set expose the same release-gate workflow from automation. - Quality Center gate panel. Eval Lab now shows pass/warn/fail status, latest-run coverage, current score, baseline score, regression points, and actionable checks.
- Public-source hygiene. Generic implementation comments now describe SwarmClaw behavior without naming internal comparison sources.
v1.9.6 Highlights
Bundled eval-environment release: validation preflights, deterministic eval workspaces, and clearer operator readiness before spending run budget.
- Eval validation environments.
/api/eval/environments now resolves the selected agent route, gateway target, scenario tools, generated files, and readiness checks before an eval runs. - Workspace manifests. Eval runs now write
environment.json, .env.swarmclaw-eval, and a task-focused README.md into each isolated eval workspace without embedding secrets. - Scenario fixtures. Eval scenarios can declare fixture files, and the package-analysis scenario now gets a deterministic
package.json in its workspace. - Fail-fast readiness. Blocked evals stop before model execution when the agent route, CLI provider, gateway profile, or execution environment is n
