A dated record of one change, kept so the writing that cites it can be checked. Compiled from the sources listed below by the research run, not written for reading. The judgment lives in the signals and issues that cite it, below.
2026-09-21-openhands-docker-conversation-runtime-settings-reach-the-bundled-agent-server-v1-20-0-docker-executi
Docker conversation runtime settings reach the bundled agent server (v1.20.0); Docker execution workspaces are main-only. Before v1.20.0, Canvas dropped OH_CONVERSATION_RUNTIME=docker and started the bundled agent server in local mode, running on the host. Six settings are now forwarded when set: runtime, image, memory, CPU, PID limits and startup timeout. Unset values leave Agent Server defaults in charge.
Channel: #17462 tagged-release; #17177 and #17518 main-unreleased at window close. Half: capability. Date: 2026-09-17 (tag); 2026-09-21 (main).
Operator consequence: If you set OH_CONVERSATION_RUNTIME=docker on a Canvas older than v1.20.0, your conversations ran locally, not in Docker. Check ps or the container list from a v1.19.0 session. Upgrade, then confirm the conversation’s process is inside a container. Treat Docker execution workspaces as not shipped for this window.
