Published: 2026-08-30 Tags: release npm patch

NextClaw v0.45.5 fixes anonymous activity receipts from production NPM and desktop releases being classified as development traffic. Updated clients now report release usage under production/stable, so the platform admin's default view can reflect real activity trends.

Fixes

• Production usage reaches the correct view: NPM, Runtime, and desktop releases now derive their environment and channel from one canonical distribution contract instead of relying on the process having NODE_ENV set.
• Development traffic stays separate: Source development and test runs remain classified under development or test views and do not inflate production activity.
• The default reporting meaning stays stable: The platform admin can keep its existing production/stable filter; anonymous receipts from updated clients now enter that view.

What you need to do

Update to v0.45.5 and use NextClaw normally. This fix does not rewrite historically misclassified data; the activity trend will recover as updated clients are used.
