OpenClaw v2026.3.13-1: UX fixes + recovery release

OpenClaw just shipped v2026.3.13-1, a small but important release that restores a broken GitHub release path and rolls in a handful of quality-of-life improvements across mobile and the Control UI.

What is v2026.3.13-1 (and why the “-1” matters)

According to the release notes, this is a recovery release: GitHub releases are immutable, so the team published v2026.3.13-1 to recover the broken v2026.3.13 tag/release path. The corresponding npm version remains 2026.3.13; the -1 suffix is only for the Git tag / GitHub Release.

Highlights you’ll actually notice

Mobile onboarding + settings polish

• Android: redesigned chat settings UI.
• iOS: added an onboarding welcome screen.

Session continuity and fewer UI headaches

• Session reset: preserves lastAccountId and lastThreadId so you don’t lose context when a session reinitializes.
• Control UI fixes: improvements around shared auth, preventing chat history reload storms, and keeping oversized replies readable.

Ops-friendly improvements

• Docker: added OPENCLAW_TZ timezone support (handy if you run cron/automation workflows on servers in different regions).

Quick update tip

If you’re running OpenClaw via the built-in updater, the simplest approach is to update to the latest release and then verify your instance boots cleanly and your channels still work. If you run OpenClaw in containers, double-check your timezone expectations after setting OPENCLAW_TZ.
