Following the recipe ensures a smooth transition to OpenClaw 2.0, preserving user data, updating legacy configurations, and strengthening security posture.

工作流

• Review the official release notes and updating guides at docs.openclaw.ai/releases/2026.8.1.
• Run the upgrade in an interactive terminal (TTY) to avoid silent skips of migration steps.
• Execute openclaw doctor --fix to migrate bundled plugins, model references, and SDK paths.
• Re‑evaluate per‑session permission modes and re‑apply hardening checklist from prior advisories.
• Verify that sessions, transcripts, and automations appear correctly after migration.
• Check security settings: ensure secret store encryption, sandbox enablement, and shared session controls are configured appropriately.
• Optionally integrate CometAPI by storing the key in ~/.openclaw/.env and editing ~/.openclaw/openclaw.json to add providers.
• Monitor the official tracker for follow‑up patches and release notes.
