OpenClaw 2026.4.5 ships /dreaming memory consolidation

OpenClaw's biggest release since 4.0: /dreaming goes GA with Light/Deep/REM memory consolidation phases that defrag agent memory into a human-readable Dream Diary (DREAMS.md). The release also adds built-in video and music generation across 4 backends, GPT-5.4 as the new default model, prompt-cache reuse improvements, and Control UI plus docs in 12 new languages. Maintainer Vincent Koc says the ~1.5M-line codebase was refactored into a plugin architecture in nine days.
