Heartbeat owner downgrade missed untrusted webhook wake events.
openclaw>= 2026.4.7 < 2026.4.14>= 2026.4.14Heartbeat owner downgrade logic could skip webhook wake events carrying untrusted content, preserving owner-like execution context where the run should have been downgraded.
The fix includes wake and hook event reasons in owner-downgrade inspection and forces downgrade for untrusted hook wake events.
The issue was fixed in #66031. The first stable tag containing the fix is v2026.4.14, and openclaw@2026.4.14 includes the fix.
31281bc92f55796817a92bc43f722cba1e77ab42Users should upgrade to openclaw 2026.4.14 or newer. The latest npm release, 2026.4.14, already includes the fix.
