[1.3.5] - 2026-03-03

Changed

• Hardened subprocess handling and synced monitor docs/metadata.

[1.3.3] - 2026-02-11

Changed

• Subprocess env hardening: monitor.py now uses an allowlist for web-search-plus subprocess environment (PATH, HOME, LANG, TERM + search provider keys only).
• Discord delivery flow: Removed webhook-style delivery from skill docs/flow; Discord alerts are now emitted as structured JSON (DISCORD_ALERT) for OpenClaw agent delivery (same pattern as Telegram).
• No direct HTTP calls: Alerting/search integration is documented as agent-mediated JSON output + subprocess execution, without direct outbound HTTP from topic-monitor skill code.

[1.3.2] - 2026-02-11

🆕 Real Alerting System

The alerting system is now fully functional (was a stub before):

• Telegram Alerts: Send immediate alerts for high-priority findings
• Multi-Channel Support: Telegram, Discord, and Email
• Smart Filtering: Importance scoring determines what gets alerted

Changed

• State Files: Now stored in .data/ directory (configurable via TOPIC_MONITOR_DATA_DIR)
• Telegram ID: Configured via TOPIC_MONITOR_TELEGRAM_ID environment variable (no hardcoded values)
• web-search-plus Path: Now relative by default, configurable via WEB_SEARCH_PLUS_PATH
• No Hardcoded Paths: All paths and IDs are now configurable

Environment Variables

New environment variables for configuration:

Variable	Default	Description
TOPIC_MONITOR_TELEGRAM_ID	—	Telegram chat ID for alerts
TOPIC_MONITOR_DATA_DIR	.data/	State and findings directory
WEB_SEARCH_PLUS_PATH	Relative	Path to web-search-plus script

Migration

If you had hardcoded paths in config.json, update to use environment variables:

export TOPIC_MONITOR_TELEGRAM_ID="your_telegram_id"

[1.2.1] - 2026-02-04
