Changelog

Notable changes to the Lobster project — doc revisions, architecture updates, and new capabilities.

2026-02-18

Documentation Site Launch

  • Published lobster.shahine.com as a Starlight site on Cloudflare Pages
  • Added iMessage conversation screenshots to the landing page (proactive reminders, group chat)
  • Added Apple PIM section documenting native EventKit/Contacts CLI access
  • Added Open Graph meta tags for rich URL previews in iMessage and social sharing

Architecture

  • Workspace separation: Each agent now has its own isolated workspace (~/.openclaw/agents/<id>/workspace/), preventing skill context leakage between agents
  • Shared skills: Common skills (travel-hub, apple-pim, bluebubbles-health, sonos) moved to ~/.openclaw/skills/ for all agents to access
  • Expanded exec approvals: lobster-groups and lobster-family can now run calendar-cli, reminder-cli, contacts-cli, and mail-inbox/read/list/cli/auth-check

Security

  • Hardened WhatsApp group policy — added Family Chat JID to groupAllowFrom
  • Added WhatsApp outbound restrictions for cron jobs
  • Calendar/reminder visibility rules documented for restricted agents
