+## v0.0.80
+
+NemoClaw v0.0.80 upgrades Hermes to the v0.18 line with richer Slack rendering, routes OpenRouter runtime traffic through a host-local attribution adapter, imports host corporate proxy CAs into sandbox trust, hardens sandbox base-image selection and route probing, and preserves intent across more interrupted onboarding and recovery flows.
+
+- Hermes upgrades to the v0.18 release line and enables Slack Block Kit rendering.
+  Final Hermes Slack responses can use Block Kit, including native table blocks for Markdown tables, without new scopes or reinstalling the Slack app, and NemoClaw pins the resulting multi-architecture sandbox base image by immutable digest.
+  For more information, refer to [Messaging Channels](/user-guide/hermes/manage-sandboxes/messaging-channels).
+- OpenRouter runtime traffic now flows through a host-local NemoClaw adapter that injects the OpenRouter attribution headers `HTTP-Referer` and `X-OpenRouter-Title`.
+  The adapter binds to the OpenShell-held `OPENROUTER_API_KEY` by SHA-256 hash, never stores the key, and listens on port `11437` by default; set `NEMOCLAW_OPENROUTER_RUNTIME_ADAPTER_PORT` to use a different host port.
+  OpenRouter-backed LangChain Deep Agents Code sandboxes now use Deep Agents' native `openrouter` provider instead of OpenAI request shaping.
+  For more information, refer to [Use OpenRouter](../inference/hosted-inference/use-openrouter), [NemoClaw CLI Commands Reference](../reference/commands), and [Platform Support and Launch Claims](../reference/platform-support).
+- NemoClaw can import a host corporate proxy root CA into the sandbox trust bundle so external channel endpoints such as `api.telegram.org` verify TLS behind a corporate MITM proxy.
+  Set `NEMOCLAW_CORPORATE_CA_BUNDLE` before onboarding, or rely on detection of the conventional CA variables and host administrator anchor directories.
+  NemoClaw appends the validated CA and never replaces the OpenShell root, and you can opt out with `NEMOCLAW_CORPORATE_CA_IMPORT=0`.
+  For more information, refer to [Troubleshooting](../reference/troubleshooting).
+- Sandbox base-image resolution now prefers release-matched image tags before mutable `:latest` for release installs and stale source checkouts, validates explicit base-image overrides exactly, and fails closed when a requested image cannot be pulled or fails compatibility checks.
+  Failed cluster-image builds now surface captured, redacted Docker diagnostics instead of an opaque exit code, and the LangChain Deep Agents Code image build preserves the native OpenRouter Nemotron profile registration.
+  For more information, refer to [NemoClaw CLI Commands Reference](../reference/commands) and [Troubleshooting](../reference/troubleshooting).
+- Bare `$$nemoclaw connect` with no sandbox name now connects to the registry default and falls back to the first non-pending registration, with clear guidance when only pending or no registrations remain.
+  Sandbox route probing rejects untrusted probe results and reports actionable rebuild guidance when the trusted Deep Agents route-probe helper is missing.
+  For more information, refer to [NemoClaw CLI Commands Reference](../reference/commands) and [Troubleshooting](../reference/troubleshooting).
+- Onboarding and recovery preserve intent across more interrupted flows.
+  Live inference recovery is scoped to the sandbox, pending route reservations survive a not-ready recreate, re-onboarding probes registered extra providers exactly, and compatible provider recovery is preserved through the rebuild handoff.
+  Docker health checks no longer trust a stale gateway PID after the start supervisor exits, the installer's pre-upgrade backup abort message now names skipped sandboxes as well as failures, and the running Local vLLM provider entry drops the experimental label on DGX Spark and DGX Station.
+  For more information, refer to [NemoClaw Quickstart with OpenClaw](../get-started/quickstart), [NemoClaw CLI Commands Reference](../reference/commands), [Choose a Local Inference Server](../inference/local-inference/choose-local-inference-server), and [Architecture Details](../reference/architecture).
+- Terminal and MCP startup behavior is more robust.
+  Hermes sandbox connections automatically apply a light-compatible terminal skin when the host terminal reports a light background, unless you set a Hermes theme override, and MCP stdio servers launched through `npx` now start non-interactively so a first-use install prompt no longer blocks the MCP `initialize` handshake.
+  For more information, refer to [Set Up MCP Servers](/user-guide/openclaw/manage-sandboxes/set-up-mcp-servers) and [NemoClaw Quickstart with Hermes](/user-guide/hermes/get-started/quickstart).

 ## v0.0.79
 
 NemoClaw v0.0.79 expands hosted and local inference options, improves operator diagnostics and shell integration, and hardens sandbox recovery, Deep Agents runtime limits, policy boundaries, and release validation.
