 ### Fixes
 
+- Build: keep externalized Slack, OpenShell sandbox, and Anthropic Vertex runtime dependency declarations out of the root dist artifact build.
 - Auto-reply/Claude CLI: bridge CLI-runtime assistant text-delta agent events into the chat reasoning preview through `onReasoningStream`, mirroring the existing assistant-text (#76914) and tool-event (#80046) bridges and adding gating so non-CLI runtimes are unaffected. Thanks @anagnorisis2peripeteia and @pashpashpash.
 - CLI/migrate: handle delayed Codex plugin marketplace responses so warnings, next-steps, and conflict states render with ⚠️ glyphs and post-install migration retries the marketplace fetch instead of silently skipping plugin items. (#81625) Thanks @sjf.
 - Channels/Weixin: bump the bundled `@tencent-weixin/openclaw-weixin` external entry to `2.4.3` (from `2.4.1`) so onboarding and `openclaw channels add` install the current Tencent Weixin (personal WeChat) plugin release. (#81730) Thanks @scotthuang.
