Published: 2026-07-13 Tags: release enhancement fix

NextClaw v0.22.3 is an NPM stable patch release. This update makes chat file and image attachments easier to inspect inside the workspace, clarifies tool activity, and improves model-selection compatibility for Claude Code and Codex runtimes.

Features

• Chat file attachments can open directly in the workspace side preview instead of a new browser window.
• Message images can open in a fullscreen lightbox for inspecting screenshots, designs, and generated images.
• Claude Code sessions support Runtime default, allowing Claude Code to use its own configuration, authentication, and default model.

Enhancements

• Tool activity rows are more compact, with clearer status for reasoning, tool calls, file work, and directory work.
• Image attachment preview controls, close controls, and focus states are easier to read without heavy focus rings.
• Cron cards, marketplace search, document browser controls, and shared form fields are more consistent across themes.

Fixes

• Codex runtime no longer tends to return empty responses with the newer runtime default model setup.
• Marketplace skill detail pages restore their document content after browser refreshes instead of leaving the detail tab unavailable.
• Claude Code runtime keeps isolated configuration for explicit NextClaw model choices, while Runtime default no longer overwrites Claude Code's own configuration.

Defaults and Compatibility

• No manual migration is required.
• This is an NPM stable patch release available through the normal NextClaw NPM install or update flow.
• The desktop stable channel is outside this release scope; this batch publishes NPM packages only.
