I checked the current registry tags: latest is 2026.5.12, and beta is currently newer than 2026.5.14 (2026.5.16-beta.1 right now). So if your updater stops at 2026.5.7, it’s probably using an old channel/cache/install path rather than 5.7 being the newest available.

First, can you paste:

openclaw --version
openclaw update status
openclaw update --dry-run

To update stable, use:

openclaw update --channel stable

For beta, use:

[fathom snow]

openclaw update --channel beta

If you specifically want the raw npm beta tag once, use:

openclaw update --tag beta

Docs: https://docs.openclaw.ai/install/updating and https://docs.openclaw.ai/install/development-channels

One nuance: --channel beta can fall back to stable/latest if beta is missing or older; --tag beta targets the beta dist-tag directly for that one update.
