These states move at different speeds. A launch can be relevant while account rollout is still incomplete."]},{"heading":"Upgrade recovery deserves its own task","paragraphs":["OpenClaw’s current release makes the supported upgrade path and backup conditions worth reading before restart. Hermes’s date-based tag differs from its internal version; record both when checking connector and gateway behavior.","Editorial view: preserve a working baseline and rehearse recovery. A successful package install is insufficient evidence for a persistent assistant."]},{"heading":"Cloud access is an operational question","paragraphs":["Dot’s announcement is new this week; access depends on plan, region and rollout. Cue is introduced alongside Manus 2.0, but the two products’ allowances must be checked independently. Grok Bot’s current FAQ is more useful for eligibility than its older launch waitlist.","Editorial view: shortlist against actual account access and a bounded budget, then use one synthetic read-only task before connecting a real inbox."]},{"heading":"Persistent context is not a complete memory result","paragraphs":["Muse’s security architecture and Instinct’s context-oriented positioning raise useful questions about approval, correction and deletion.
