Summary OpenClaw: Pairing pending-request caps were enforced per channel instead of per account ## Summary Before OpenClaw 2026.3.31, pending pairing-request caps were enforced per channel file instead of per account. On multi-account channel setups, requests from other accounts could fill the shared pending window and block new pairing challenges on an unaffected account. ## Impact This issue could deny new pairing or onboarding on another account until an existing request was approved or expired. It was an availability-only bug; it did not allow cross-account approval, data access, or authorization bypass. ## Affected Packages / Versions - Package: `openclaw` (npm) - Affected versions: `>= 2026.2.26, < 2026.3.31` - Patched versions: `>= 2026.3.31` - Latest published npm version: `2026.4.1` ## Fix Commit(s) - `9bc1f896c8cd325dd4761681e9bdb8c425f69785` — scope pending request caps per account ## Release Process Note The fix shipped in OpenClaw `2026.3.31` on March 31, 2026. The current published npm release `2026.4.1` from April 1, 2026 also contains the fix. Thanks @smaeljaish771 for reporting.
