OpenClaw shipped automatic Codex plugin approvals to stable — the one gate that loosened this window

Edited by Michael Ruescher

What this changes for operators

  • PR #92625 (stable v2026.6.9, June 21) adds automatic Codex plugin approvals — a gate opened in a fortnight when nearly everyone else was closing them. It cuts against the consent-over-default grain even from a vendor with real accessibility discipline.
  • Operators on v2026.6.9 should audit the new automatic Codex plugin approvals against their trust posture; convenience relaxed a consent gate that was previously explicit.
