OpenClaw's mutating internal ACP chat commands missed operator.admin scope enforcement
## Summary Mutating internal ACP chat commands missed the operator.admin gate that should separate read-only and mutating control-plane actions. ## Affected Packages / Versions - Package: `openclaw` (npm) - Affected: < 2026.3.22 - Fixed: >= 2026.3.22 - Latest released tag checked: `v2026.3.23-2` (`630f1479c44f78484dfa21bb407cbe6f171dac87`) - Latest published npm version checked: `2026.3.23-2` ## Fix Commit(s) - `229426a257e49694a59fa4e3895861d02a4d767f` ## Release Status The fix shipped in `v2026.3.22` and remains present in `v2026.3.23` and `v2026.3.23-2`. ## Code-Level Confirmation - src/auto-reply/reply/commands-acp.ts now requires operator.admin for mutating internal ACP actions. - src/auto-reply/reply/commands-acp.test.ts ships regression coverage for non-admin denial and admin success cases. OpenClaw thanks @tdjackey for reporting.
