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.
