Safe OpenClaw version upgrade with regression checklist. Use when kcn says "升级 openclaw" / "openclaw 有没有更新" / "/openclaw-upgrade", or after noticing a newer npm version. Checks for in-flight crons, uses the built-in updater, reapplies all host-local dist patches, and runs the full regression gate without reducing context, skills, tools, thinking, or token budgets. Different from `openclaw-tune` (periodic maintenance, no version bump).
Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.
What the file says
# OpenClaw Safe Upgrade Kcn runs a live automated trading system on OpenClaw. An upgrade that loses crons, breaks embeddings, or orphans an in-flight cron is a production incident. This is the battle-tested flow (5.28→6.1→6.5→6.6→6.8). The current host runbook is `/root/.shared-memory/project-openclaw-upgrade-runbook.md`; historical version traps are in the archive it links. Read these only on this host, never copy them into the public repository. ## 0. Check + decide 1. `openclaw --version` vs `npm view openclaw version` (latest). Pull the changelog (`npm pack openclaw@<v>` → `package/CHANGELOG.md`) and judge relevance — don't upgrade reflexively. 2. Read the host runbook above for the target version's traps; use the installed version's changelog/source when the runbook has no entry. ## 1. 🔴 Never restart the gateway while a cron is in-flight Use the structured runtime field, not a text grep: ```bash openclaw cron list --json \ | jq -e '[.jobs[] | select(.state.runningAtMs != null)] | length == 0' ``` If this is not `true`, wait. A SIGTERM mid-run can orphan the cron into permanent `running`. Use `--no-restart` and pick a quiet window between slots …

How to install
mdr add kcnyu/clawock/openclaw-upgrade@sha256:f2526b0958f83f63The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261107.e41e23b, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
