During February 2026, work on the openclaw/openclaw repository focused on enhancing authentication for browser extensions by introducing support for both relay-scoped and raw gateway tokens. The developer unified token validation logic, allowing the extension to accept multiple token formats and improving compatibility across deployments. This update reduced complexity in token management and streamlined user authentication workflows. Implemented primarily in JavaScript and TypeScript, the changes leveraged skills in authentication, HTTP, and Node.js to ensure seamless interoperability with legacy and new systems. No major bugs were reported during this period, reflecting a focused and well-executed feature delivery within the project scope.
