2026-03 Monthly summary for openclaw/openclaw and BerriAI/litellm. Focused on reliability, performance, and stability across tab management, attach-only scenarios, Slack Socket Mode, and Langsmith logging startup. OpenClaw delivered robust tab management with scope-aware tab cap, best-effort cleanup on listing errors, and detach cleanup to avoid blocking tab operations. Implemented Attach-Only Mode safety to prevent unintended tab closures in attachment scenarios. Slack Socket Mode reconnection gained a robust bounded exponential backoff, abort-aware waits, plus tests validating reconnect and clean shutdown. BerriAI/litellm fixed Langsmith periodic flush initialization by lazily starting the task when an event loop is available, eliminating sync-init failures. These changes reduce user-visible disruptions, improve stability during attachments and network disruptions, and enhance developer productivity through clearer ownership, error handling, and test coverage.

February 2026 monthly summary for openclaw/openclaw: Delivered stability and compatibility improvements, enhanced build reliability on constrained environments, and introduced runtime resource governance to prevent renderer buildup.
