Let me verify the docs path so I don’t make up commands.

#

I found the exact version and installer flags. Next I’m checking the cleanest rollback path so I can give you the shortest correct steps.

#

If you mean 2026.4.12 (instead of 2026.4.15), here’s the clean way.

If OpenClaw is already installed and you just want to roll back

  1. Check what you have now:

    openclaw --version

  2. Downgrade to 2026.4.12:

    openclaw update --tag 2026.4.12

    If you want it non-interactive:

    openclaw update --tag 2026.4.12 --yes
#

  1. Run doctor:

    openclaw doctor

  2. Restart the gateway:

    openclaw gateway restart

  3. Verify:

    openclaw --version
openclaw status
#

Fresh install on macOS / Linux / WSL

curl -fsSL --proto '=https' --tlsv1.2 https://openclaw.ai/install.sh | bash -s -- --version 2026.4.12

Then verify:

openclaw --version

Fresh install on Windows PowerShell

# 
& ([scriptblock]::Create((iwr -useb https://openclaw.ai/install.ps1))) -Tag 2026.4.12

Then verify:

openclaw --version

If you installed from a git/source checkout instead of the package installer

git fetch --tags
git checkout v2026.4.12
