OpenClaw: Bonjour/DNS-SD TXT metadata steers CLI routing after failed service resolution

  • Disclosed: 26.03.2026
  • Updated: 11.10.2026 10:22

Summary

Bonjour and DNS-SD TXT metadata could still steer CLI routing even when actual service resolution failed, allowing unresolved hints to influence the chosen target.
