Public proof and research

Evidence should be easier to inspect than the claim it supports.

Start with Governance verification, then review public releases, Observa reporting artifacts, QSR operating proof, white papers, and cautious regulated workflow case work.

This page links only public-safe material. Internal audits, private evidence paths, customer data, credentials, infrastructure details, and security-sensitive operating records are not published here.

1 · Governance verification

Verified release evidence for v0.7.3.

These bounded claims distinguish McPherson AI release verification, ClawHub public availability and scan status, and the published release provenance record.

McPherson AI release verification

Public GitHub release

The annotated tag v0.7.3 points at commit 1237c59a, and the release is marked Latest. Its published .tgz.sha256 asset matches a deterministic rebuild of the package byte for byte.

ClawHub availability

Public package

The connector is publicly listed and installable through ClawHub. ClawHub’s own listing and scan are operated by ClawHub and are separate from McPherson AI’s release checks. ClawHub’s current audit result for this listing is OpenClaw v0.7.3 · ClawHub Security Audit: Safe.

Provenance and posture

Published release provenance

The archive is built deterministically, and the provenance record shipped in the package binds it to its authorized source tree and records the posture it was built with: SHADOW, authority NONE, enforcement OFF, active false.

2 · Governance releases

The public release record is the version boundary.

Current public version · v0.7.3

OpenClaw shadow-governance connector

The v0.7.x public line ships a unified local observa CLI with verified-email access requests alongside the existing pairing and lifecycle commands. Its plugin manifest fixes the posture in the package itself: authority NONE, enforcement OFF, active false, and mapping status UNMAPPED with automatic mapping activation set to false.

Historical: the v0.6.x line introduced account-free local discovery, non-authoritative AutoMap proposals, and a local Governability Diagnosis.

Installation status

Available through ClawHub

Public v0.7.3 is live on GitHub and ClawHub, and declares OpenClaw 2026.8.2 or newer. The Local Node CLI for n8n is published separately on npm as @mcpherson-ai/observa-local-node 0.1.6. Disabled mode is inert for ordinary observations.

3 · Observa reports and schemas

Public-safe reporting artifacts.

These artifacts demonstrate Observa’s reporting capability, one part of the broader product. They are not claims about connector installation, hosted service uptime, verification coverage, or active enforcement. The Observa private beta is now open for selected n8n and OpenClaw workflows.

4 · QSR proof

Operating experience translated into reviewable work.

Based on McPherson AI’s cumulative ClawHub download tracking, the public QSR skill suite surpassed 5,000 cumulative downloads as of July 2026. This is a dated company-tracked milestone, not a live counter or a count of unique users.

5,000+ cumulative downloads

The dated July 2026 figure comes from McPherson AI’s cumulative ClawHub download tracking; it is not a live counter, an independent platform certification, or a count of unique users.

5 · White papers

The research path behind the product direction.

White paper

Agent Infrastructure for Small Business Operations

Workflow, memory, governance, accountability, and operator judgment as the missing operating layer.

White paper

When the Agent Acts

Accountability as the real design problem for workflows in which agents can affect external systems.

6 · Regulated workflow case work

Cautious discovery before a sensitive build.

The existing public-safe regulated CRM case page preserves status, vendor coordination, authorization questions, and compliance gates without presenting discovery as deployment.
