## Summary Queued node actions were not revalidated against current command policy when later delivered, so stale allowlists or declarations could survive policy tightening. ## 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) - `ec2c6d83b9f5f91d6d9094842e0f19b88e63e3e2` ## 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/gateway/server-methods/nodes.ts now revalidates queued actions against the current allowlist and declared command set at delivery time. - src/gateway/server-methods/nodes.invoke-wake.test.ts includes the shipped stale-queue regression coverage.
