Assuming you mean 2026.5.12 → 2026.5.7: I checked npm and 2026.5.7 is published, but there is no 2025.5.7 OpenClaw npm release.

For a global CLI install, downgrade the CLI package, then repair/restart the gateway service so the daemon points at the downgraded entrypoint:

openclaw --version
pnpm add -g openclaw@2026.5.7
pnpm approve-builds -g
openclaw doctor
openclaw gateway install --force
openclaw gateway restart
openclaw --version

This should not delete your data; your state/workspace live under ~/.openclaw. It only changes the installed OpenClaw code.

If the issue in 2026.5.12 looks like a regression, please file it here too so it can be tracked: https://github.com/openclaw/openclaw/issues
