openclaw - 💡(How to fix) Fix [Regression] Canvas/Node browser tools broken on macOS after v2026.3.24 → v2026.3.28 [1 participants]

Describe the bug

After upgrading to OpenClaw v2026.3.28, Cron jobs using Canvas/Browser tools fail. Rolling back to v2026.3.24 restores normal functionality.

To Reproduce

1. Install OpenClaw v2026.3.28
2. Configure a Cron job that uses Canvas tool to access web pages
3. Execute the Cron job
4. See error: node command not allowed: the node (platform: darwin) does not support "canvas.navigate"

Expected behavior

Canvas tool should support canvas.navigate command on macOS Node, as it did in v2026.3.24.

Actual behavior (v2026.3.28)

• Node pairing successful: Known: 1 · Paired: 1 · Connected: 1
• Node capabilities reported: browser, system
• But only supports commands: browser.proxy, system.run, system.run.prepare, system.which
• Does NOT support: canvas.navigate (worked in 3.24)

Environment

• OS: macOS (Darwin 24.6.0 arm64)
• Broken version: v2026.3.28 (f9b1079)
• Working version: v2026.3.24
• Node: v25.8.2
• Gateway: Running on 127.0.0.1:18789

Timeline

• Last week: v2026.3.24, Cron jobs working correctly ✅
• Mar 29, 21:08: Auto-updated to v2026.3.28
• Mar 30, 10:00+: Cron jobs started failing ❌
• Mar 30, 11:50: Rolled back to v2026.3.24, restored functionality ✅

Potential Root Causes

v2026.3.28 introduced the following changes that may affect tool execution:

1. Plugins/hooks: Added before_tool_call hook with requireApproval

   • PR: #55339
   • May add extra approval layer before tool execution

2. Plugins/startup: Auto-load bundled plugins

   • May change tool initialization order

3. ACP/channels: Added Discord current-conversation binds

   • May affect session routing

Suggested Fix

1. Check if before_tool_call hook is inadvertently intercepting Canvas commands
2. Restore canvas.navigate support on macOS Node
3. Or provide migration guide with alternative approaches for v2026.3.28+

Priority

🔴 High - Cron jobs completely broken, affecting automated workflows
