Summary
OpenClaw: pnpm dlx approvals did not bind local script operands
Details
Summary
Before OpenClaw 2026.4.2, pnpm dlx approval planning did not bind local script operands the same way as related pnpm exec flows. A local script approved through a pnpm dlx path could be replaced before execution without invalidating the approval.
Impact
An operator could approve a benign local script and then execute modified script contents through the still-valid approval plan. This was an approval-integrity bug in the node-host command-planning path.
