OpenClaw engineer Jason Sy discusses the difficulty of testing upgrades across many combinations of configuration and environmentEvaluation is the systematic assessment of a system's behaviour or results against explicit criteria.. He explains why update failures became a priority for the team.
Sy describes an atomic-update approachAn atomic update changes a defined set of system state as one complete transition, avoiding a visible mixture of partly applied changes. Its guarantee applies to the state included in that transition. intended to keep the gateway available and roll back when an update failsA rollback returns a system to an earlier working state after a change.. He says the team adjusted the ordering of existing snapshot, migration and recovery steps.
He says the update process now includes a way to report failures and that edge cases remain. A separate agent-assisted monitor is a possible future improvement rather than a completed feature.
