Helm 0.5.7 is a hardening patch release focused on making inspection commands read the right workspace and avoid accidental side effects.
- fixed workspace resolution so Helm follows nested OpenClaw workspaces instead of parent directories with ambiguous markers
- fixed
checkpoint listandcheckpoint showto use the active layout-aware state root - fixed
checkpointsubcommand routing so structured argparse flows are no longer shadowed by legacy passthrough logic - fixed
surveyso it stays read-only and does not initialize Helm state during inspection - tightened onboarding suggestions to avoid recommending self-adoption for the workspace already under inspection
The main failure mode here was not a crash. It was a convincing but wrong success state:
- the CLI could read an empty or misleading parent directory
- checkpoint inspection could silently ignore the active workspace shape
- survey-style inspection could leave behind Helm state even when the operator only asked for visibility
This release narrows those gaps so operational output is more trustworthy.
This is still a patch release. The focus is correctness and operator confidence, not new surface area.
