   - Keep extension-owned onboarding/config/provider coverage under the owning bundled plugin package when feasible.
   - If core tests need bundled plugin behavior, consume it through public `src/plugin-sdk/<id>.ts` facades or the plugin's `api.ts`, not private extension modules.
-  - Shared helpers under `test/helpers/**` are part of that same boundary. Do not hardcode repo-relative `extensions/**` imports there, and do not keep plugin-local deep mocks in shared helpers just because multiple tests use them.

 ### Changes
 
-- Memory/Active Memory: add a new optional Active Memory plugin that gives OpenClaw a dedicated memory sub-agent right before the main reply, so ongoing chats can automatically pull in relevant preferences, context, and past details without making users remember to manually say "remember this" or "search memory" first. Includes configurable message/recent/full context modes, live `/verbose` inspection, advanced prompt/thinking overrides for tuning, and opt-in transcript persistence for debugging. Docs: https://docs.openclaw.ai/concepts/active-memory. (#63286) Thanks @Takhoffman.
-- macOS/Talk: add an experimental local MLX speech provider for Talk Mode, with explicit provider selection, local utterance playback, interruption handling, and system-voice fallback. (#63539) Thanks @ImLukeF.
-- CLI/exec policy: add a local `openclaw exec-policy` command with `show`, `preset`, and `set` subcommands for synchronizing requested `tools.exec.*` config with the local exec approvals file, plus follow-up hardening for node-host rejection, rollback safety, and sync conflict detection. (#64050)
-- Gateway: add a `commands.list` RPC so remote gateway clients can discover runtime-native, text, skill, and plugin commands with surface-aware naming and serialized argument metadata. (#62656) Thanks @samzong.
-- Models/providers: add per-provider `models.providers.*.request.allowPrivateNetwork` for trusted self-hosted OpenAI-compatible endpoints, keep the opt-in scoped to model request surfaces, and refresh cached WebSocket managers when request transport overrides change. (#63671) Thanks @qas.
-- QA/testing: add a `--runner multipass` lane for `openclaw qa suite` so repo-backed QA scenarios can run inside a disposable Linux VM and write back the usual report, summary, and VM logs. (#63426) Thanks @shakkernerd.
-- Docs i18n: chunk raw doc translation, reject truncated tagged outputs, avoid ambiguous body-only wrapper unwrapping, and recover from terminated Pi translation sessions without changing the default `openai/gpt-5.4` path. (#62969, #63808) Thanks @hxy91819.
-- Control UI/dreaming: simplify the Scene and Diary surfaces, preserve unknown phase state for partial status payloads, and stabilize waiting-entry recency ordering so Dreaming status and review lists stay clear and deterministic. (#64035) Thanks @davemorin.
-- Gateway: split startup and runtime seams so gateway lifecycle sequencing, reload state, and shutdown behavior stay easier to maintain without changing observed behavior. (#63975) Thanks @gumadeiras.
-- Matrix/partial streaming: add MSC4357 live markers to draft preview sends and edits so supporting Matrix clients can render a live/typewriter animation and stop it when the final edit lands. (#63513) Thanks @TigerInYourDream.
-- QA/Telegram: add a live `openclaw qa telegram` lane for private-group bot-to-bot checks, harden its artifact handling, and preserve native Telegram command reply threading for QA verification. (#64303) Thanks @obviyus.
-- Models/Codex: add the bundled Codex provider and plugin-owned app-server harness so `codex/gpt-*` models use Codex-managed auth, native threads, model discovery, and compaction while `openai/gpt-*` stays on the normal OpenAI provider path. (#64298) Thanks @steipete.
-- Agents: add an opt-in strict-agentic embedded Pi execution contract for GPT-5-family runs so plan-only or filler turns keep acting until they hit a real blocker. (#64241) Thanks @100yenadmin.

 ### Fixes
 
-- CLI/WhatsApp media sends: route gateway-mode outbound sends with `--media` through the channel `sendMedia` path and preserve media access context, so WhatsApp document and attachment sends stop silently dropping the file while still delivering the caption. (#64478) Thanks @ShionEria.
-- fix(nostr): require operator.admin scope for profile mutation routes [AI]. (#63553) Thanks @pgondhi987.
-- Gateway/startup: keep WebSocket RPC available while channels and plugin sidecars start, hold `chat.history` unavailable until startup sidecars finish so synchronous history reads cannot stall startup (reported in #63450), refresh advertised gateway methods after deferred plugin reloads, and enforce the pre-auth WebSocket upgrade budget before the no-handler 503 path so upgrade floods cannot bypass connection limits during that window. (#63480) Thanks @neeravmakwana.
-- Gateway/tailscale: start Tailscale exposure and the gateway update check before awaiting channel and plugin sidecar startup so remote operators are not locked out when startup sidecars stall.
-- WhatsApp: keep inbound replies, media, composing indicators, and queued outbound deliveries attached to the current socket across reconnect gaps, including fresh retry-eligible sends after the listener comes back. (#30806, #46299, #62892, #63916) Thanks @mcaxtr.
-- Microsoft Teams: restore media downloads for personal DMs, Bot Framework `a:` conversations, OneDrive/SharePoint shared files, and Graph-backed chat IDs; accept Bot Framework audience tokens; and deliver cron announcements to Teams conversation IDs. (#55383, #58001, #58249, #62219, #62674, #63063, #63942, #63951, #63953) Thanks @obviyus.
-- Gateway/thread routing: preserve Slack, Telegram, Mattermost, and ACP parent-thread delivery targets so subagent, cron, and stream-relay completion messages land back in the originating thread or topic. (#54840, #57056, #63228, #63506) Thanks @yzzymt.
-- Agents/timeouts: extend the default LLM idle window to 120s and keep silent no-token idle timeouts on recovery paths, so slow models can retry or fall back before users see an error.
-- Gateway/agents: preserve configured model selection and richer `IDENTITY.md` content across agent create/update flows and workspace moves, and fail safely instead of silently overwriting unreadable identity files. (#61577) Thanks @samzong.
-- Skills/TaskFlow: restore valid frontmatter fences for the bundled `taskflow` and `taskflow-inbox-triage` skills so they stay discoverable and loadable after updates. (#64469) Thanks @extrasmall0.
-- Windows/exec: settle supervisor waits from child exit state after stdout and stderr drain even when `close` never arrives, so CLI commands stop hanging or dying with forced `SIGKILL` on Windows. (#64072) Thanks @obviyus.
-- Browser/sandbox: prevent sandbox browser CDP startup hangs by recreating containers when the browser security hash changes and by waiting on the correct sandbox browser lifecycle. (#62873) Thanks @Syysean.
-- iMessage/self-chat: distinguish normal DM outbound rows from true self-chat using `destination_caller_id` plus chat participants, while preserving multi-handle self-chat aliases so outbound DM replies stop looping back as inbound messages. (#61619) Thanks @neeravmakwana.
-- QQBot/streaming: make block streaming configurable per QQ bot account via `streaming.mode` (`"partial"` | `"off"`, default `"partial"`) instead of hardcoding it off, so responses can be delivered incrementally. (#63746)
-- QQBot/config: allow extra fields in `channels.qqbot` and `channels.qqbot.accounts.*` so extended qqbot builds can add new config options without gateway startup failing on schema validation. (#64075) Thanks @WideLee.
-- Dreaming/gateway: require `operator.admin` for persistent `/dreaming on|off` changes and treat missing gateway client scopes as unprivileged instead of silently allowing config writes. (#63872) Thanks @mbelinky.
-- Matrix/multi-account: keep room-level `account` scoping, inherited room overrides, and implicit account selection consistent across top-level default auth, named accounts, and cached-credential env setups. (#58449) thanks @Daanvdplas and @gumadeiras.
-- Gateway/pairing: prefer explicit QR bootstrap auth over earlier Tailscale auth classification so iOS `/pair qr` silent bootstrap pairing does not fall through to `pairing required`. (#59232) Thanks @ngutman.
-- Browser/control: auto-generate browser-control auth tokens for `none` and `trusted-proxy` modes, and route browser auth/profile/doctor helpers through the public browser plugin facades. (#63280, #63957) Thanks @pgondhi987.
-- Browser/act: centralize `/act` request normalization and execution dispatch while adding stable machine-readable route-level error codes for invalid requests, selector misuse, evaluate-disabled gating, target mismatch, and existing-session unsupported actions. (#63977) Thanks @joshavant.
-- Security/exec: replace script-preflight check-then-read logic with an atomic pinned-file-descriptor open, and expand the host environment denylist for dangerous runtime-control variables. (#62333, #63277) Thanks @pgondhi987.
-- Security/nodes: keep `nodes` tool output paths inside the workspace boundary so model-driven node writes cannot escape the intended workspace. (#63551) Thanks @pgondhi987.
-- Security/QQBot: enforce media storage boundaries for all outbound local file paths and route image-size probes through SSRF-guarded media fetching instead of raw `fetch()`. (#63271, #63495) Thanks @pgondhi987.
-- Channel setup: ignore workspace plugin shadows when resolving trusted channel setup catalog entries so onboarding and setup flows keep using the bundled, trusted setup contract.
-- Gateway/memory startup: load the explicitly selected memory-slot plugin during gateway startup, while keeping restrictive allowlists and implicit default memory slots from auto-starting unrelated memory plugins. (#64423) Thanks @EronFan.
-- Config/plugins: let config writes keep disabled plugin entries without forcing required plugin config schemas or crashing raw plugin validation, and avoid re-activating plugin registry state during schema checks. (#54971, #63296) Thanks @fuller-stack-dev.
-- Config validation: surface the actual offending field for strict-schema union failures in bindings, including top-level unexpected keys on the matching ACP branch. (#40841) Thanks @Hollychou924.
-- Wizard/plugin config: coerce integer-typed plugin config fields from interactive text input so integer schema values persist as numbers instead of failing validation. (#63346) Thanks @jalehman.
-- Daemon/gateway install: preserve safe custom service env vars on forced reinstall, merge prior custom PATH segments behind the managed service PATH, and stop removed managed env keys from persisting as custom carryover. (#63136) Thanks @WarrenJones.
-- Cron/scheduling: treat `nextRunAtMs <= 0` as invalid across cron update, maintenance, timer, and stale-delivery paths so corrupted zero timestamps self-heal instead of causing immediate runs or skipped deliveries. (#63507) Thanks @WarrenJones.
-- Cron/auth: resolve auth profiles consistently for isolated cron jobs so scheduled runs use the same configured provider credentials as interactive sessions. (#62797) Thanks @neeravmakwana.
-- Tasks: let `openclaw tasks cancel` cancel stuck background tasks that never reached a normal terminal state. (#62506) Thanks @neeravmakwana.
-- Sessions/model selection: preserve catalog-backed session model labels, provider-qualified context limits, and already-qualified session model refs when catalog metadata is unavailable, so model selection and memory/context budgets survive reloads without bogus provider prefixes. (#61382, #62493) Thanks @Mule-ME.
-- Status: show configured fallback models in `/status` and shared session status cards so per-agent fallback configuration is visible before a live failover happens. (#33111) Thanks @AnCoSONG.
-- `/context detail` now compares the tracked prompt estimate with cached context usage and surfaces untracked provider/runtime overhead when present. (#28391) Thanks @ImLukeF.
-- Gateway/sessions: scope bare `sessions.create` aliases like `main` to the requested agent while preserving the canonical `global` and `unknown` sentinel keys. (#58207) Thanks @jalehman.
-- Gateway/session reset: emit the typed `before_reset` hook for gateway `/new` and `/reset`, preserving reset-hook behavior even when the previous transcript has already been archived. (#53872) Thanks @VACInc.
-- Plugins/commands: pass the active host `sessionKey` into plugin command contexts, and include `sessionId` when it is already available from the active session entry, so bundled and third-party commands can resolve the current conversation reliably. (#59044) Thanks @jalehman.
-- Agents/auth: honor `models.providers.*.authHeader` for pi embedded runner model requests by injecting `Authorization: Bearer <apiKey>` when requested. (#54390) Thanks @lndyzwdxhs.
-- Claude CLI: clear inherited Anthropic auth/header environment aliases before spawning Claude Code and add sanitized CLI backend auth-env diagnostics for debugging gateway-run provider selection.
-- Agents/failover: classify AbortError and stream-abort messages as timeout so Ollama NDJSON stream aborts stop showing `reason=unknown` in model fallback logs. (#58324) Thanks @yelog.
-- Fireworks/FirePass: disable Kimi K2.5 Turbo reasoning output by forcing thinking off on the FirePass path and hardening the provider wrapper so hidden reasoning no longer leaks into visible replies. (#63607) Thanks @frankekn.
-- Matrix/multi-account: keep room-level `account` scoping, inherited room overrides, and implicit account selection consistent across top-level default auth, named accounts, and cached-credential env setups. (#58449) Thanks @gumadeiras.
-- Matrix/runtime: resolve the verification/bootstrap runtime from a distinct packaged Matrix entry so global npm installs stop failing on crypto bootstrap with missing-module or recursive runtime alias errors. (#59249) Thanks @gumadeiras.
-- Matrix/streaming: preserve ordered block flushes before tool, message, and agent boundaries, add explicit `channels.matrix.blockStreaming` opt-in so Matrix `streaming: "off"` stays final-only by default, and move MiniMax plain-text final handling into the MiniMax provider runtime instead of the shared core heuristic. (#59266) Thanks @gumadeiras.
-- QQBot/streaming: make block streaming configurable per QQ bot account via `streaming.mode` (`"partial"` | `"off"`, default `"partial"`) instead of hardcoding it off, so responses can be delivered incrementally. (#63746)
-- Discord: update Carbon to v0.15.0. Thanks @thewilloftheshadow.
-- Config/Discord: coerce safe integer numeric Discord IDs to strings during config validation, keep unsafe or precision-losing numeric snowflakes rejected, and align `openclaw doctor` repair guidance with the same fail-closed behavior. (#45125) Thanks @moliendocode.
-- BlueBubbles/config: accept `enrichGroupParticipantsFromContacts` in the core strict config schema so gateways no longer fail validation or startup when the BlueBubbles plugin writes that field. (#56889) Thanks @zqchris.
-- Feishu/webhooks: read webhook bodies through the pre-auth guard so unauthenticated webhook traffic stays under the same body budget as other protected channel ingress paths.
-- Tools/web_fetch: add an opt-in `tools.web.fetch.ssrfPolicy.allowRfc2544BenchmarkRange` config so fake-IP proxy environments that resolve public sites into `198.18.0.0/15` can use `web_fetch` without weakening the default SSRF block. (#61830) Thanks @xing-xing-coder.
-- Dreaming/gateway: require `operator.admin` for persistent `/dreaming on|off` changes and treat missing gateway client scopes as unprivileged instead of silently allowing config writes. (#63872) Thanks @mbelinky.
-- Dreaming/cron: reconcile managed dreaming cron from startup config and runtime lifecycle changes, but only recover managed dreaming cron state during heartbeat-triggered dreaming checks so ordinary chat traffic does not recreate removed jobs. (#63873, #63929, #63938) Thanks @mbelinky.
-- Memory/lancedb: accept `dreaming` config when `memory-lancedb` owns the memory slot so Dreaming surfaces can read slot-owner settings without schema rejection. (#63874) Thanks @mbelinky.
-- Control UI/dreaming: keep the Dreaming trace area contained and scrollable so overlays no longer cover tabs or blow out the page layout. (#63875) Thanks @mbelinky.
-- Dreaming/diary: add idempotent narrative subagent runs, preserve restrictive `DREAMS.md` permissions during atomic writes, and surface temp cleanup failures so repeated sweeps do not double-run the same narrative request or silently weaken diary safety. (#63876) Thanks @mbelinky.
-- Heartbeats/sessions: remove stale accumulated isolated heartbeat session keys when the next tick converges them back to the canonical sibling, so repaired sessions stop showing orphaned `:heartbeat:heartbeat` variants in session listings. (#59606) Thanks @rogerdigital.
-- Gateway/run cleanup: fix stale run-context TTL cleanup so the new maintenance sweep resets orphaned run sequence state and prevents unbounded run-context growth. (#52731) Thanks @artwalker.
-- UI/compaction: keep the compaction indicator in a retry-pending state until the run actually finishes, so the UI does not show `Context compacted` before compaction actually finishes. (#55132) Thanks @mpz4life.
-- Cron/tool schemas: keep cron tool schemas strict-model-friendly while still preserving `failureAlert=false`, nullable `agentId`/`sessionKey`, and flattened add/update recovery for the newly exposed cron job fields. (#55043) Thanks @brunolorente.
-- Git metadata: read commit ids from packed refs as well as loose refs so version and status metadata stay accurate after repository maintenance. (#63943)
-- Gateway: keep `commands.list` skill entries categorized under tools and include provider-aware plugin `nativeName` metadata even when `scope=text`, so remote clients can group skills correctly and map text-surface plugin commands back to native aliases.
-- TUI: reset footer activity to idle when switching sessions so a stale streaming indicator cannot persist after the selection changes. (#63988) Thanks @neeravmakwana.
-- iMessage: treat `sender === chat_identifier` as self-chat only when `destination_caller_id` is present and matches the sender, fixing DM outbound rows that omit destination from being run through self-chat echo handling. (#63980) Thanks @neeravmakwana.
-- Cron/Telegram: collapse isolated announce delivery to the final assistant-visible text only for Telegram targets, while preserving existing multi-message direct delivery semantics for other channels. (#63228) Thanks @welfo-beo.
-- Gateway/thread routing: preserve Slack, Telegram, and Mattermost thread-child delivery targets so bound subagent completion messages land in the originating thread instead of top-level channels. (#54840) Thanks @yzzymt.
-- ACP/stream relay: pass parent delivery context to ACP stream relay system events so `streamTo="parent"` updates route to the correct thread or topic instead of falling back to the main DM. (#57056) Thanks @pingren.
-- Agents/sessions: preserve announce `threadId` when `sessions.list` fallback rehydrates agent-to-agent announce targets so final announce messages stay in the originating thread/topic. (#63506) Thanks @SnowSky1.
-- iMessage/self-chat: remember ambiguous `sender === chat_identifier` outbound rows with missing `destination_caller_id` in self-chat dedupe state so the later reflected inbound copy still drops instead of re-entering inbound handling when the echo cache misses. Thanks @neeravmakwana.
-- Claude CLI: stop marking spawned Claude Code runs as host-managed so they keep using normal CLI subscription behavior. (#64023) Thanks @Alex-Alaniz.
-- Agents/failover: classify OpenRouter `404 No endpoints found for <model>` responses as `model_not_found` so fallback chains continue past retired OpenRouter candidates. (#61472) Thanks @MonkeyLeeT.
-- Browser/plugin SDK: route browser auth, profile, host-inspection, and doctor readiness helpers through browser plugin public facades so core compatibility helpers stop carrying duplicate runtime implementations. (#63957) Thanks @joshavant.
-- Agents/failover: allow cooldown probes for `timeout` (including network outage classifications) so the primary model can recover after failover without a gateway restart. (#63996) Thanks @neeravmakwana.
-- iMessage (imsg): strip an accidental protobuf length-delimited UTF-8 field wrapper from inbound `text` and `reply_to_text` when it fully consumes the field, fixing leading garbage before the real message. (#63868) Thanks @neeravmakwana.
-- Gateway/pairing: fail closed for paired device records that have no device tokens, and reject pairing approvals whose requested scopes do not match the requested device roles.
-- ACP/gateway chat: classify lifecycle errors before forwarding them to ACP clients so refusals use ACP's refusal stop reason while transient backend errors continue to finish as normal turns.
-- Agents/BTW: strip replayed tool blocks, hidden reasoning, and malformed image payloads from `/btw` side-question context so Bedrock no-tools side questions keep working after tool-use turns. (#64225) Thanks @ngutman.
-- Commands/btw: keep tool-less side questions from sending injected empty `tools` arrays on strict OpenAI-compatible providers, so `/btw` continues working after prior tool-call history. (#64219) Thanks @ngutman.
-- Agents/Bedrock: let `/btw` side questions use `auth: "aws-sdk"` without a static API key so Bedrock IAM and instance-role sessions stop failing before the side question runs. (#64218) Thanks @SnowSky1.
-- Feishu: route `/btw` side questions and `/stop` onto bounded out-of-band lanes so BTW no longer waits behind a busy normal chat turn while ordinary same-chat traffic stays FIFO. (#64324) Thanks @ngutman.
-- Agents/failover: detect llama.cpp slot context overflows as context-overflow errors so compaction can retry self-hosted OpenAI-compatible runs instead of surfacing the raw upstream 400. (#64196) Thanks @alexander-applyinnovations.
-- Claude CLI/skills: pass eligible OpenClaw skills into CLI runs, including native Claude Code skill resolution via a temporary plugin plus per-run skill env/API key injection. (#62686, #62723) Thanks @zomars.
-- Discord: keep generated auto-thread names working with reasoning models by giving title generation enough output budget for thinking plus visible title text. (#64172) Thanks @hanamizuki.
-- Heartbeat: ignore doc-only Markdown fence markers in the default `HEARTBEAT.md` template so comment-only heartbeat scaffolds skip API calls again. (#63434) Thanks @ravyg.
-- Control UI/BTW: render `/btw` side results as dismissible ephemeral cards in the browser, send `/btw` immediately during active runs, and clear stale BTW cards on reset flows so webchat matches the intended detached side-question behavior. (#64290) Thanks @ngutman.
-- Reply/skills: keep resolved skill and memory secret config stable through embedded reply runs so raw SecretRefs in secondary skill settings no longer crash replies when the gateway already has the live env. (#64249) Thanks @mbelinky.
-- Dreaming/startup: keep plugin-registered startup hooks alive across workspace hook reloads and include dreaming startup owners in the gateway startup plugin scope, so managed Dreaming cron registration comes back reliably after gateway boot. (#62327) Thanks @mbelinky.
-- Plugins: treat duplicate `registerService` calls from the same plugin id as idempotent so snapshot and activation loads no longer emit spurious `service already registered` diagnostics. (#62033, #64128) Thanks @ly85206559.
-- Discord/TTS: route auto voice replies through the native voice-note path so Discord receives Opus voice messages instead of regular audio attachments. (#64096) Thanks @LiuHuaize.
-- Config/plugins: use plugin-owned command alias metadata when `plugins.allow` contains runtime command names like `dreaming`, and point users at the owning plugin instead of stale plugin-not-found guidance. (#64242) Thanks @feiskyer.
-- Agents/Gemini: strip orphaned `required` entries from Gemini tool schemas so provider validation no longer rejects tools after schema cleanup or union flattening. (#64284) Thanks @xxxxxmax.
-- Assistant text: strip Qwen-style XML tool call payloads from visible replies so web and channel messages no longer show raw `<tool_call><function=...>` output. (#64214) Thanks @MoerAI.
-- Daemon/gateway: prevent systemd restart storms on configuration errors by exiting with `EX_CONFIG` and adding generated unit restart-prevention guards. (#63913) Thanks @neo1027144-creator.
-- Agents/exec: prevent gateway crash ("Agent listener invoked outside active run") when a subagent exec tool produces stdout/stderr after the agent run has ended or been aborted. (#62821) Thanks @openperf.
-- Browser/tabs: route `/tabs/action` close/select through the same browser endpoint reachability and policy checks as list/new (including Playwright-backed remote tab operations), reject CDP HTTP redirects on probe requests, and sanitize blocked-endpoint error responses so tab list/focus/close flows fail closed without echoing raw policy details back to callers. (#63332)
-- Gateway/OpenAI compat: return real `usage` for non-stream `/v1/chat/completions` responses, emit the final usage chunk when `stream_options.include_usage=true`, and bound usage-gated stream finalization after lifecycle end. (#62986) Thanks @Lellansin.
-- Matrix/migration: keep packaged warning-only crypto migrations from being misclassified as actionable when only helper chunks are present, so startup and doctor stay on the warning-only path instead of creating unnecessary migration snapshots. (#64373) Thanks @gumadeiras.
-- Matrix/ACP thread bindings: preserve canonical room casing and parent conversation routing during ACP session spawn so mixed-case room ids bind correctly from top-level rooms and existing Matrix threads. (#64343) Thanks @gumadeiras.
-- Agents/subagents: deduplicate delivered completion announces so retry or re-entry cleanup does not inject duplicate internal-context completion turns into the parent session. (#61525) Thanks @100yenadmin.
-- Agents/exec: keep sandboxed `tools.exec.host=auto` sessions from honoring per-call `host=node` or `host=gateway` overrides while a sandbox runtime is active, and stop advertising node routing in that state so exec stays on the sandbox host. (#63880)
-- Gateway/restart sentinel: route restart notices only from stored canonical delivery metadata and skip outbound guessing from lossy session keys, avoiding misdelivery on case-sensitive channels like Matrix. (#64391) Thanks @gumadeiras.
+- fix(browser): auto-generate browser control auth token for none/trusted-proxy modes [AI]. (#63280) Thanks @pgondhi987.
+- fix(exec): replace TOCTOU check-then-read with atomic pinned-fd open in script preflight [AI]. (#62333) Thanks @pgondhi987.
+- WhatsApp/auto-reply: keep inbound reply, media, and composing sends on the current socket across reconnects, wait through reconnect gaps, and retry timeout-only send failures without dropping the active socket ref. (#62892) Thanks @mcaxtr.
+- Config/plugins: let config writes keep disabled plugin entries without forcing required plugin config schemas or crashing raw plugin validation, so slot switches and similar plugin-state updates persist cleanly. (#63296) Thanks @fuller-stack-dev.
 
-- Cron/isolated agent: run scheduled agent turns as non-owner senders so owner-only tools stay unavailable during cron execution. (#63878)
-- Voice Call/realtime: reject oversized realtime WebSocket frames before bridge setup so large pre-start payloads cannot crash the gateway. (#63890) Thanks @mmaps.
-- Browser/sandbox: gate `/sandbox/novnc` behind bridge auth and stop surfacing sandbox observer URLs in model-visible prompt context. (#63882) Thanks @eleqtrizit.
-
-- Discord/sandbox: include `image` in sandbox media param normalization so Discord event cover images cannot bypass sandbox path rewriting. (#64377) Thanks @mmaps.
-- Agents/exec: extend exec completion detection to cover local background exec formats so the owner-downgrade fires correctly for all exec paths. (#64376) Thanks @mmaps.
-- Security/dependencies: pin axios to 1.15.0 and add a plugin install dependency denylist that blocks known malicious packages before install. (#63891) Thanks @mmaps.
-- Browser/security: apply three-phase interaction navigation guard to pressKey and type(submit) so delayed JS redirects from keypress cannot bypass SSRF policy. (#63889) Thanks @mmaps.
-
-- Browser/security: guard existing-session Chrome MCP interaction routes with SSRF post-checks so delayed navigation from click, type, press, and evaluate cannot bypass the configured policy. (#64370) Thanks @eleqtrizit.
-- Browser/security: default browser SSRF policy to strict mode so unconfigured installs block private-network navigation, and align external-content marker span mapping so ZWS-injected boundary spoofs are fully sanitized. (#63885) Thanks @eleqtrizit.
-- Browser/security: apply SSRF navigation policy to subframe document navigations so iframe-targeted private-network hops are blocked without quarantining the parent page. (#64371) Thanks @eleqtrizit.
-- Hooks/security: mark agent hook system events as untrusted and sanitize hook display names before cron metadata reuse. (#64372) Thanks @eleqtrizit.
-- Media/security: honor sender-scoped `toolsBySender` policy for outbound host-media reads so denied senders cannot trigger host file disclosure via attachment hydration. (#64459) Thanks @eleqtrizit.
-- Browser/security: reject strict-policy hostname navigation unless the hostname is an explicit allowlist exception or IP literal, and route CDP HTTP discovery through the pinned SSRF fetch path. (#64367) Thanks @eleqtrizit.
-- Plugins/ACPX: wrap plugin tools on the MCP bridge with the shared `before_tool_call` handler so block and approval hooks fire consistently across all execution paths. (#63886) Thanks @eleqtrizit.
-
-- Logging/security: redact Gmail watcher `--hook-token` values from startup logging and `logs.tail` output. (#62661) Thanks @eleqtrizit.
-- Models/fallback: preserve `/models` selection across transient primary-model failures and config reloads so the fallback chain no longer permanently clobbers a user-chosen model. (#64471) Thanks @hoyyeva.
-
-- Sandbox/security: auto-derive CDP source-range from Docker network gateway and refuse to start the socat relay without one, so peer containers cannot reach CDP unauthenticated. (#61404) Thanks @dims.
-- Daemon/launchd: keep `openclaw gateway stop` persistent without uninstalling the macOS LaunchAgent, re-enable it on explicit restart or repair, and harden launchd label handling. (#64447) Thanks @ngutman.
-- Agents/Slack: preserve threaded announce delivery when `sessions.list` rows lack stored thread metadata by falling back to the thread id encoded in the session key. (#63143) Thanks @mariosousa-finn.
-- Plugins/context engines: preserve `plugins.slots.contextEngine` through normalization and keep explicitly selected workspace context-engine plugins enabled, so loader diagnostics and plugin activation stop dropping that slot selection. (#64192) Thanks @hclsys.
-- Heartbeat: stop top-level `interval:` and `prompt:` fields outside the `tasks:` block from bleeding into the last parsed heartbeat task. (#64488) Thanks @Rahulkumar070.

 - Plugins/contracts: keep test-only helpers out of production contract barrels, load shared contract harnesses through bundled test surfaces, and harden guardrails so indirect re-exports and canonical `*.test.ts` files stay blocked. (#63311) Thanks @altaywtf.
 - Control UI/models: preserve provider-qualified refs for OpenRouter catalog models whose ids already contain slashes so picker selections submit allowlist-compatible model refs instead of dropping the `openrouter/` prefix. (#63416) Thanks @sallyom.
 - Plugin SDK/command auth: split command status builders onto the lightweight `openclaw/plugin-sdk/command-status` subpath while preserving deprecated `command-auth` compatibility exports, so auth-only plugin imports no longer pull status/context warmup into CLI onboarding paths. (#63174) Thanks @hxy91819.
-- Wizard/plugin config: coerce integer-typed plugin config fields from interactive text input so integer schema values persist as numbers instead of failing validation. (#63346) Thanks @jalehman.
-- Dreaming/narrative: harden request-scoped diary fallback so scheduled dreaming only falls back on the dedicated subagent-runtime error, stop trusting spoofable raw error-code objects, and avoid leaking workspace paths when local fallback writes fail. (#64156) Thanks @mbelinky.

 - Agents/model resolution: keep explicit-model runtime comparisons on the configured workspace plugin registry, so workspace-installed providers do not silently fall back to stale explicit metadata during runtime model lookup.
 - Providers/Z.AI: default onboarding and endpoint detection to GLM-5.1 instead of GLM-5. (#61998) Thanks @serg0x.
-- Cron/isolated: resolve auth profiles without treating every isolated run as a brand-new auth session, so profile-based providers (for example OpenRouter) keep a stable credential choice instead of rotating or ignoring stored keys. (#62783) Thanks @neeravmakwana.
-- CLI/tasks: `openclaw tasks cancel` now records operator cancellation for CLI runtime tasks instead of returning "Task runtime does not support cancellation yet", so stuck `running` CLI tasks can be cleared. (#62419) Thanks @neeravmakwana.
-- Sessions/context: resolve context window limits using the active provider plus model (not bare model id alone) when persisting session usage, applying inline directives, and sizing memory-flush / preflight compaction thresholds, so duplicate model ids across providers no longer leak the wrong `contextTokens` into the session store or `/status`. (#62472) Thanks @neeravmakwana.
-- Channels/setup: exclude workspace shadow entries from channel setup catalog lookups and align trust checks with auto-enable so workspace-scoped overrides no longer bypass the trusted catalog. (`GHSA-82qx-6vj7-p8m2`) Thanks @zsxsoft.
-- Reply execution: prefer the active runtime snapshot over stale queued reply config during embedded reply and follow-up execution so SecretRef-backed reply turns stop crashing after secrets have already resolved. (#62693) Thanks @mbelinky.
-- Android/manual connect: allow blank port input only for TLS manual gateway endpoints so standard HTTPS Tailscale hosts default to `443` without silently changing cleartext manual connects. (#63134) Thanks @Tyler-RNG.
-- Matrix/agents: hide owner-only `set-profile` from embedded agent channel-action discovery so non-owner runs stop advertising profile updates they cannot execute. (#62662) Thanks @eleqtrizit.

-# OpenClaw Incident Response Plan
-
-## 1. Detection and triage
-
-We monitor security signals from:
-
-- GitHub Security Advisories (GHSA) and private vulnerability reports.
-- Public GitHub issues/discussions when reports are not sensitive.
-- Automated signals (for example Dependabot, CodeQL, npm advisories, and secret scanning).
-
-Initial triage:
-
-1. Confirm affected component, version, and trust boundary impact.
-2. Classify as security issue vs hardening/no-action using the repository `SECURITY.md` scope and out-of-scope rules.
-3. An incident owner responds accordingly.
-
-## 2. Assessment
-
-Severity guide:
-
-- **Critical:** Package/release/repository compromise, active exploitation, or unauthenticated trust-boundary bypass with high-impact control or data exposure.
-- **High:** Verified trust-boundary bypass requiring limited preconditions (for example authenticated but unauthorized high-impact action), or exposure of OpenClaw-owned sensitive credentials.
-- **Medium:** Significant security weakness with practical impact but constrained exploitability or substantial prerequisites.
-- **Low:** Defense-in-depth findings, narrowly scoped denial-of-service, or hardening/parity gaps without a demonstrated trust-boundary bypass.
-
-## 3. Response
-
-1. Acknowledge receipt to the reporter (private when sensitive).
-2. Reproduce on supported releases and latest `main`, then implement and validate a patch with regression coverage.
-3. For critical/high incidents, prepare patched release(s) as fast as practical.
-4. For medium/low incidents, patch in normal release flow and document mitigation guidance.
-
-## 4. Communication
-
-We communicate through:
-
-- GitHub Security Advisories in the affected repository.
-- Release notes/changelog entries for fixed versions.
-- Direct reporter follow-up on status and resolution.
-
-Disclosure policy:
-
-- Critical/high incidents should receive coordinated disclosure, with CVE issuance when appropriate.
-- Low-risk hardening findings may be documented in release notes or advisories without CVE, depending on impact and user exposure.
-
-## 5. Recovery and follow-up
-
-After shipping the fix:
-
-1. Verify remediations in CI and release artifacts.
-2. Run a short post-incident review (timeline, root cause, detection gap, prevention plan).
-3. Add follow-up hardening/tests/docs tasks and track them to completion.

@@ -39,7 +38,7 @@ Jobs are ordered so cheap checks fail before expensive ones run:
 1. `preflight` decides which lanes exist at all. The `docs-scope` and `changed-scope` logic are steps inside this job, not standalone jobs.
 2. `security-fast`, `check`, `check-additional`, `check-docs`, and `skills-python` fail quickly without waiting on the heavier artifact and platform matrix jobs.

 Scope logic lives in `scripts/ci-changed-scope.mjs` and is covered by unit tests in `src/scripts/ci-changed-scope.test.ts`.
 The separate `install-smoke` workflow reuses the same scope script through its own `preflight` job. It computes `run_install_smoke` from the narrower changed-smoke signal, so Docker/install smoke only runs for install, packaging, and container-relevant changes.

-# Active Memory
-
-Active memory is an optional plugin-owned blocking memory sub-agent that runs
-before the main reply for eligible conversational sessions.
-
-It exists because most memory systems are capable but reactive. They rely on
-the main agent to decide when to search memory, or on the user to say things
-like "remember this" or "search memory." By then, the moment where memory would
-have made the reply feel natural has already passed.
-
-Active memory gives the system one bounded chance to surface relevant memory
-before the main reply is generated.
-
-## Paste This Into Your Agent
-
-Paste this into your agent if you want it to enable Active Memory with a
-self-contained, safe-default setup:
-
-```json5
-{
-  plugins: {
-    entries: {
-      "active-memory": {
-        enabled: true,
-        config: {
-          enabled: true,
-          agents: ["main"],
-          allowedChatTypes: ["direct"],
-          modelFallbackPolicy: "default-remote",
-          queryMode: "recent",
-          promptStyle: "balanced",
-          timeoutMs: 15000,
-          maxSummaryChars: 220,
-          persistTranscripts: false,
-          logging: true,
-        },
-      },
-    },
-  },
-}
-```
-
-This turns the plugin on for the `main` agent, keeps it limited to direct-message
-style sessions by default, lets it inherit the current session model first, and
-still allows the built-in remote fallback if no explicit or inherited model is
-available.
-
-After that, restart the gateway:
-
-```bash
-node scripts/run-node.mjs gateway --profile dev
-```
-
-To inspect it live in a conversation:
-
-```text
-/verbose on
-```
-
-## Turn active memory on
-
-The safest setup is:
-
-1. enable the plugin
-2. target one conversational agent
-3. keep logging on only while tuning
-
-Start with this in `openclaw.json`:
-
-```json5
-{
-  plugins: {
-    entries: {
-      "active-memory": {
-        enabled: true,
-        config: {
-          agents: ["main"],
-          allowedChatTypes: ["direct"],
-          modelFallbackPolicy: "default-remote",
-          queryMode: "recent",
-          promptStyle: "balanced",
-          timeoutMs: 15000,
-          maxSummaryChars: 220,
-          persistTranscripts: false,
-          logging: true,
-        },
-      },
-    },
-  },
-}
-```
-
-Then restart the gateway:
-
-```bash
-node scripts/run-node.mjs gateway --profile dev
-```
-
-What this means:
-
-- `plugins.entries.active-memory.enabled: true` turns the plugin on
-- `config.agents: ["main"]` opts only the `main` agent into active memory
-- `config.allowedChatTypes: ["direct"]` keeps active memory on for direct-message style sessions only by default
-- if `config.model` is unset, active memory inherits the current session model first
-- `config.modelFallbackPolicy: "default-remote"` keeps the built-in remote fallback as the default when no explicit or inherited model is available
-- `config.promptStyle: "balanced"` uses the default general-purpose prompt style for `recent` mode
-- active memory still runs only on eligible interactive persistent chat sessions
-
-## How to see it
-
-Active memory injects hidden system context for the model. It does not expose
-raw `<active_memory_plugin>...</active_memory_plugin>` tags to the client.
-
-## Session toggle
-
-Use the plugin command when you want to pause or resume active memory for the
-current chat session without editing config:
-
-```text
-/active-memory status
-/active-memory off
-/active-memory on
-```
-
-This is session-scoped. It does not change
-`plugins.entries.active-memory.enabled`, agent targeting, or other global
-configuration.
-
-If you want the command to write config and pause or resume active memory for
-all sessions, use the explicit global form:
-
-```text
-/active-memory status --global
-/active-memory off --global
-/active-memory on --global
-```
-
-The global form writes `plugins.entries.active-memory.config.enabled`. It leaves
-`plugins.entries.active-memory.enabled` on so the command remains available to
-turn active memory back on later.
-
-If you want to see what active memory is doing in a live session, turn verbose
-mode on for that session:
-
-```text
-/verbose on
-```
-
-With verbose enabled, OpenClaw can show:
-
-- an active memory status line such as `Active Memory: ok 842ms recent 34 chars`
-- a readable debug summary such as `Active Memory Debug: Lemon pepper wings with blue cheese.`
-
-Those lines are derived from the same active memory pass that feeds the hidden
-system context, but they are formatted for humans instead of exposing raw prompt
-markup.
-
-By default, the blocking memory sub-agent transcript is temporary and deleted
-after the run completes.
-
-Example flow:
-
-```text
-/verbose on
-what wings should i order?
-```
-
-Expected visible reply shape:
-
-```text
-...normal assistant reply...
-
-🧩 Active Memory: ok 842ms recent 34 chars
-🔎 Active Memory Debug: Lemon pepper wings with blue cheese.
-```
-
-## When it runs
-
-Active memory uses two gates:
-
-1. **Config opt-in**
-   The plugin must be enabled, and the current agent id must appear in
-   `plugins.entries.active-memory.config.agents`.
-2. **Strict runtime eligibility**
-   Even when enabled and targeted, active memory only runs for eligible
-   interactive persistent chat sessions.
-
-The actual rule is:
-
-```text
-plugin enabled
-+
-agent id targeted
-+
-allowed chat type
-+
-eligible interactive persistent chat session
-=
-active memory runs
-```
-
-If any of those fail, active memory does not run.
-
-## Session types
-
-`config.allowedChatTypes` controls which kinds of conversations may run Active
-Memory at all.
-
-The default is:
-
-```json5
-allowedChatTypes: ["direct"]
-```
-
-That means Active Memory runs by default in direct-message style sessions, but
-not in group or channel sessions unless you opt them in explicitly.
-
-Examples:
-
-```json5
-allowedChatTypes: ["direct"]
-```
-
-```json5
-allowedChatTypes: ["direct", "group"]
-```
-
-```json5
-allowedChatTypes: ["direct", "group", "channel"]
-```
-
-## Where it runs
-
-Active memory is a conversational enrichment feature, not a platform-wide
-inference feature.
-
-| Surface                                                             | Runs active memory?                                     |
-| ------------------------------------------------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------- |
-| Control UI / web chat persistent sessions                           | Yes, if the plugin is enabled and the agent is targeted |
-| Other interactive channel sessions on the same persistent chat path | Yes, if the plugin is enabled and the agent is targeted |
-| Headless one-shot runs                                              | No                                                      |
-| Heartbeat/background runs                                           | No                                                      |
-| Generic internal `agent-command` paths                              | No                                                      |
-| Sub-agent/internal helper execution                                 | No                                                      |
-
-## Why use it
-
-Use active memory when:
-
-- the session is persistent and user-facing
-- the agent has meaningful long-term memory to search
-- continuity and personalization matter more than raw prompt determinism
-
-It works especially well for:
-
-- stable preferences
-- recurring habits
-- long-term user context that should surface naturally
-
-It is a poor fit for:
-
-- automation
-- internal workers
-- one-shot API tasks
-- places where hidden personalization would be surprising
-
-## How it works
-
-The runtime shape is:
-
-```mermaid
-flowchart LR
-  U["User Message"] --> Q["Build Memory Query"]
-  Q --> R["Active Memory Blocking Memory Sub-Agent"]
-  R -->|NONE or empty| M["Main Reply"]
-  R -->|relevant summary| I["Append Hidden active_memory_plugin System Context"]
-  I --> M["Main Reply"]
-```
-
-The blocking memory sub-agent can use only:
-
-- `memory_search`
-- `memory_get`
-
-If the connection is weak, it should return `NONE`.
-
-## Query modes
-
-`config.queryMode` controls how much conversation the blocking memory sub-agent sees.
-
-## Prompt styles
-
-`config.promptStyle` controls how eager or strict the blocking memory sub-agent is
-when deciding whether to return memory.
-
-Available styles:
-
-- `balanced`: general-purpose default for `recent` mode
-- `strict`: least eager; best when you want very little bleed from nearby context
-- `contextual`: most continuity-friendly; best when conversation history should matter more
-- `recall-heavy`: more willing to surface memory on softer but still plausible matches
-- `precision-heavy`: aggressively prefers `NONE` unless the match is obvious
-- `preference-only`: optimized for favorites, habits, routines, taste, and recurring personal facts
-
-Default mapping when `config.promptStyle` is unset:
-
-```text
-message -> strict
-recent -> balanced
-full -> contextual
-```
-
-If you set `config.promptStyle` explicitly, that override wins.
-
-Example:
-
-```json5
-promptStyle: "preference-only"
-```
-
-## Model fallback policy
-
-If `config.model` is unset, Active Memory tries to resolve a model in this order:
-
-```text
-explicit plugin model
--> current session model
--> agent primary model
--> optional built-in remote fallback
-```
-
-`config.modelFallbackPolicy` controls the last step.
-
-Default:
-
-```json5
-modelFallbackPolicy: "default-remote"
-```
-
-Other option:
-
-```json5
-modelFallbackPolicy: "resolved-only"
-```
-
-Use `resolved-only` if you want Active Memory to skip recall instead of falling
-back to the built-in remote default when no explicit or inherited model is
-available.
-
-## Advanced escape hatches
-
-These options are intentionally not part of the recommended setup.
-
-`config.thinking` can override the blocking memory sub-agent thinking level:
-
-```json5
-thinking: "medium"
-```
-
-Default:
-
-```json5
-thinking: "off"
-```
-
-Do not enable this by default. Active Memory runs in the reply path, so extra
-thinking time directly increases user-visible latency.
-
-`config.promptAppend` adds extra operator instructions after the default Active
-Memory prompt and before the conversation context:
-
-```json5
-promptAppend: "Prefer stable long-term preferences over one-off events."
-```
-
-`config.promptOverride` replaces the default Active Memory prompt. OpenClaw
-still appends the conversation context afterward:
-
-```json5
-promptOverride: "You are a memory search agent. Return NONE or one compact user fact."
-```
-
-Prompt customization is not recommended unless you are deliberately testing a
-different recall contract. The default prompt is tuned to return either `NONE`
-or compact user-fact context for the main model.
-
-### `message`
-
-Only the latest user message is sent.
-
-```text
-Latest user message only
-```
-
-Use this when:
-
-- you want the fastest behavior
-- you want the strongest bias toward stable preference recall
-- follow-up turns do not need conversational context
-
-Recommended timeout:
-
-- start around `3000` to `5000` ms
-
-### `recent`
-
-The latest user message plus a small recent conversational tail is sent.
-
-```text
-Recent conversation tail:
-user: ...
-assistant: ...
-user: ...
-
-Latest user message:
-...
-```
-
-Use this when:
-
-- you want a better balance of speed and conversational grounding
-- follow-up questions often depend on the last few turns
-
-Recommended timeout:
-
-- start around `15000` ms
-
-### `full`
-
-The full conversation is sent to the blocking memory sub-agent.
-
-```text
-Full conversation context:
-user: ...
-assistant: ...
-user: ...
-...
-```
-
-Use this when:
-
-- the strongest recall quality matters more than latency
-- the conversation contains important setup far back in the thread
-
-Recommended timeout:
-
-- increase it substantially compared with `message` or `recent`
-- start around `15000` ms or higher depending on thread size
-
-In general, timeout should increase with context size:
-
-```text
-message < recent < full
-```
-
-## Transcript persistence
-
-Active memory blocking memory sub-agent runs create a real `session.jsonl`
-transcript during the blocking memory sub-agent call.
-
-By default, that transcript is temporary:
-
-- it is written to a temp directory
-- it is used only for the blocking memory sub-agent run
-- it is deleted immediately after the run finishes
-
-If you want to keep those blocking memory sub-agent transcripts on disk for debugging or
-inspection, turn persistence on explicitly:
-
-```json5
-{
-  plugins: {
-    entries: {
-      "active-memory": {
-        enabled: true,
-        config: {
-          agents: ["main"],
-          persistTranscripts: true,
-          transcriptDir: "active-memory",
-        },
-      },
-    },
-  },
-}
-```
-
-When enabled, active memory stores transcripts in a separate directory under the
-target agent's sessions folder, not in the main user conversation transcript
-path.
-
-The default layout is conceptually:
-
-```text
-agents/<agent>/sessions/active-memory/<blocking-memory-sub-agent-session-id>.jsonl
-```
-
-You can change the relative subdirectory with `config.transcriptDir`.
-
-Use this carefully:
-
-- blocking memory sub-agent transcripts can accumulate quickly on busy sessions
-- `full` query mode can duplicate a lot of conversation context
-- these transcripts contain hidden prompt context and recalled memories
-

-session instead of looking for a separate active-memory debug command.
-
-Then move to:
-
-- `message` if you want lower latency
-- `full` if you decide extra context is worth the slower blocking memory sub-agent
-
-## Debugging
-
-If active memory is not showing up where you expect:
-
-1. Confirm the plugin is enabled under `plugins.entries.active-memory.enabled`.
-2. Confirm the current agent id is listed in `config.agents`.
-3. Confirm you are testing through an interactive persistent chat session.
-4. Turn on `config.logging: true` and watch the gateway logs.
-5. Verify memory search itself works with `openclaw memory status --deep`.
-
-If memory hits are noisy, tighten:
-
-- `maxSummaryChars`
-
-If active memory is too slow:
-
-- lower `queryMode`
-- lower `timeoutMs`
-- reduce recent turn counts
-- reduce per-turn char caps

-summary: "Run OpenClaw embedded agent turns through the bundled Codex app-server harness"

-# Codex Harness
-
-The bundled `codex` plugin lets OpenClaw run embedded agent turns through the
-Codex app-server instead of the built-in PI harness.
-
-Use this when you want Codex to own the low-level agent session: model
-discovery, native thread resume, native compaction, and app-server execution.
-OpenClaw still owns chat channels, session files, model selection, tools,
-approvals, media delivery, and the visible transcript mirror.
-
-The harness is off by default. It is selected only when the `codex` plugin is
-enabled and the resolved model is a `codex/*` model, or when you explicitly
-force `embeddedHarness.runtime: "codex"` or `OPENCLAW_AGENT_RUNTIME=codex`.
-If you never configure `codex/*`, existing PI, OpenAI, Anthropic, Gemini, local,
-and custom-provider runs keep their current behavior.
-
-## Pick the right model prefix
-
-OpenClaw has separate routes for OpenAI and Codex-shaped access:
-
-| Model ref              | Runtime path                                 | Use when                                                                |
-| ---------------------- | -------------------------------------------- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------- |
-| `openai/gpt-5.4`       | OpenAI provider through OpenClaw/PI plumbing | You want direct OpenAI Platform API access with `OPENAI_API_KEY`.       |
-| `openai-codex/gpt-5.4` | OpenAI Codex OAuth provider through PI       | You want ChatGPT/Codex OAuth without the Codex app-server harness.      |
-| `codex/gpt-5.4`        | Bundled Codex provider plus Codex harness    | You want native Codex app-server execution for the embedded agent turn. |
-
-The Codex harness only claims `codex/*` model refs. Existing `openai/*`,
-`openai-codex/*`, Anthropic, Gemini, xAI, local, and custom provider refs keep
-their normal paths.
-
-## Requirements
-
-- OpenClaw with the bundled `codex` plugin available.
-- Codex app-server `0.118.0` or newer.
-- Codex auth available to the app-server process.
-
-The plugin blocks older or unversioned app-server handshakes. That keeps
-OpenClaw on the protocol surface it has been tested against.
-
-For live and Docker smoke tests, auth usually comes from `OPENAI_API_KEY`, plus
-optional Codex CLI files such as `~/.codex/auth.json` and
-`~/.codex/config.toml`. Use the same auth material your local Codex app-server
-uses.
-
-## Minimal config
-
-Use `codex/gpt-5.4`, enable the bundled plugin, and force the `codex` harness:
-
-```json5
-{
-  plugins: {
-    entries: {
-      codex: {
-        enabled: true,
-      },
-    },
-  },
-  agents: {
-    defaults: {
-      model: "codex/gpt-5.4",
-      embeddedHarness: {
-        runtime: "codex",
-        fallback: "none",
-      },
-    },
-  },
-}
-```
-
-If your config uses `plugins.allow`, include `codex` there too:
-
-```json5
-{
-  plugins: {
-    allow: ["codex"],
-    entries: {
-      codex: {
-        enabled: true,
-      },
-    },
-  },
-}
-```
-
-Setting `agents.defaults.model` or an agent model to `codex/<model>` also
-auto-enables the bundled `codex` plugin. The explicit plugin entry is still
-useful in shared configs because it makes the deployment intent obvious.
-
-## Add Codex without replacing other models
-
-Keep `runtime: "auto"` when you want Codex for `codex/*` models and PI for
-everything else:
-
-```json5
-{
-  plugins: {
-    entries: {
-      codex: {
-        enabled: true,
-      },
-    },
-  },
-  agents: {
-    defaults: {
-      model: {
-        primary: "codex/gpt-5.4",
-        fallbacks: ["openai/gpt-5.4", "anthropic/claude-opus-4-6"],
-      },
-      models: {
-        "codex/gpt-5.4": { alias: "codex" },
-        "codex/gpt-5.4-mini": { alias: "codex-mini" },
-        "openai/gpt-5.4": { alias: "gpt" },
-        "anthropic/claude-opus-4-6": { alias: "opus" },
-      },
-      embeddedHarness: {
-        runtime: "auto",
-        fallback: "pi",
-      },
-    },
-  },
-}
-```
-
-With this shape:
-
-- `/model codex` or `/model codex/gpt-5.4` uses the Codex app-server harness.
-- `/model gpt` or `/model openai/gpt-5.4` uses the OpenAI provider path.
-- `/model opus` uses the Anthropic provider path.
-- If a non-Codex model is selected, PI remains the compatibility harness.
-
-## Codex-only deployments
-
-Disable PI fallback when you need to prove that every embedded agent turn uses
-the Codex harness:
-
-```json5
-{
-  agents: {
-    defaults: {
-      model: "codex/gpt-5.4",
-      embeddedHarness: {
-        runtime: "codex",
-        fallback: "none",
-      },
-    },
-  },
-}
-```
-
-Environment override:
-
-```bash
-OPENCLAW_AGENT_RUNTIME=codex \
-OPENCLAW_AGENT_HARNESS_FALLBACK=none \
-openclaw gateway run
-```
-
-With fallback disabled, OpenClaw fails early if the Codex plugin is disabled,
-the requested model is not a `codex/*` ref, the app-server is too old, or the
-app-server cannot start.
-
-## Per-agent Codex
-
-You can make one agent Codex-only while the default agent keeps normal
-auto-selection:
-
-```json5
-{
-  agents: {
-    defaults: {
-      embeddedHarness: {
-        runtime: "auto",
-        fallback: "pi",
-      },
-    },
-    list: [
-      {
-        id: "main",
-        default: true,
-        model: "anthropic/claude-opus-4-6",
-      },
-      {
-        id: "codex",
-        name: "Codex",
-        model: "codex/gpt-5.4",
-        embeddedHarness: {
-          runtime: "codex",
-          fallback: "none",
-        },
-      },
-    ],
-  },
-}
-```
-
-Use normal session commands to switch agents and models. `/new` creates a fresh
-OpenClaw session and the Codex harness creates or resumes its sidecar app-server
-thread as needed. `/reset` clears the OpenClaw session binding for that thread.
-
-## Model discovery
-
-By default, the Codex plugin asks the app-server for available models. If
-discovery fails or times out, it uses the bundled fallback catalog:
-
-- `codex/gpt-5.4`
-- `codex/gpt-5.4-mini`
-- `codex/gpt-5.2`
-
-You can tune discovery under `plugins.entries.codex.config.discovery`:
-
-```json5
-{
-  plugins: {
-    entries: {
-      codex: {
-        enabled: true,
-        config: {
-          discovery: {
-            enabled: true,
-            timeoutMs: 2500,
-          },
-        },
-      },
-    },
-  },
-}
-```
-
-Disable discovery when you want startup to avoid probing Codex and stick to the
-fallback catalog:
-
-```json5
-{
-  plugins: {
-    entries: {
-      codex: {
-        enabled: true,
-        config: {
-          discovery: {
-            enabled: false,
-          },
-        },
-      },
-    },
-  },
-}
-```
-
-## App-server connection and policy
-
-By default, the plugin starts Codex locally with:
-
-```bash
-codex app-server --listen stdio://
-```
-
-You can keep that default and only tune Codex native policy:
-
-```json5
-{
-  plugins: {
-    entries: {
-      codex: {
-        enabled: true,
-        config: {
-          appServer: {
-            approvalPolicy: "on-request",
-            sandbox: "workspace-write",
-            serviceTier: "priority",
-          },
-        },
-      },
-    },
-  },
-}
-```
-
-For an already-running app-server, use WebSocket transport:
-
-```json5
-{
-  plugins: {
-    entries: {
-      codex: {
-        enabled: true,
-        config: {
-          appServer: {
-            transport: "websocket",
-            url: "ws://127.0.0.1:39175",
-            authToken: "${CODEX_APP_SERVER_TOKEN}",
-            requestTimeoutMs: 60000,
-          },
-        },
-      },
-    },
-  },
-}
-```
-

-Model switching stays OpenClaw-controlled. When an OpenClaw session is attached
-to an existing Codex thread, the next turn sends the currently selected
-`codex/*` model, provider, approval policy, sandbox, and service tier to
-app-server again. Switching from `codex/gpt-5.4` to `codex/gpt-5.2` keeps the
-thread binding but asks Codex to continue with the newly selected model.
-
-## Codex command
-
-The bundled plugin registers `/codex` as an authorized slash command. It is
-generic and works on any channel that supports OpenClaw text commands.
-
-Common forms:
-
-- `/codex status` shows live app-server connectivity, models, account, rate limits, MCP servers, and skills.
-- `/codex models` lists live Codex app-server models.
-- `/codex threads [filter]` lists recent Codex threads.
-- `/codex resume <thread-id>` attaches the current OpenClaw session to an existing Codex thread.
-- `/codex compact` asks Codex app-server to compact the attached thread.
-- `/codex review` starts Codex native review for the attached thread.
-- `/codex account` shows account and rate-limit status.
-- `/codex mcp` lists Codex app-server MCP server status.
-- `/codex skills` lists Codex app-server skills.
-
-`/codex resume` writes the same sidecar binding file that the harness uses for
-normal turns. On the next message, OpenClaw resumes that Codex thread, passes the
-currently selected OpenClaw `codex/*` model into app-server, and keeps extended
-history enabled.
-
-The command surface requires Codex app-server `0.118.0` or newer. Individual
-control methods are reported as `unsupported by this Codex app-server` if a
-future or custom app-server does not expose that JSON-RPC method.
-
-## Tools, media, and compaction
-
-The Codex harness changes the low-level embedded agent executor only.
-
-OpenClaw still builds the tool list and receives dynamic tool results from the
-harness. Text, images, video, music, TTS, approvals, and messaging-tool output
-continue through the normal OpenClaw delivery path.
-
-When the selected model uses the Codex harness, native thread compaction is
-delegated to Codex app-server. OpenClaw keeps a transcript mirror for channel
-history, search, `/new`, `/reset`, and future model or harness switching.
-
-Media generation does not require PI. Image, video, music, PDF, TTS, and media
-understanding continue to use the matching provider/model settings such as
-`agents.defaults.imageGenerationModel`, `videoGenerationModel`, `pdfModel`, and
-`messages.tts`.
-
-## Troubleshooting
-
-**Codex does not appear in `/model`:** enable `plugins.entries.codex.enabled`,
-set a `codex/*` model ref, or check whether `plugins.allow` excludes `codex`.
-
-**OpenClaw falls back to PI:** set `embeddedHarness.fallback: "none"` or
-`OPENCLAW_AGENT_HARNESS_FALLBACK=none` while testing.
-
-**The app-server is rejected:** upgrade Codex so the app-server handshake
-reports version `0.118.0` or newer.
-
-**Model discovery is slow:** lower `plugins.entries.codex.config.discovery.timeoutMs`
-or disable discovery.
-
-**WebSocket transport fails immediately:** check `appServer.url`, `authToken`,
-and that the remote app-server speaks the same Codex app-server protocol version.
-
-**A non-Codex model uses PI:** that is expected. The Codex harness only claims
-`codex/*` model refs.

-  - You are changing the embedded agent runtime or harness registry

-# Agent Harness Plugins
-
-An **agent harness** is the low level executor for one prepared OpenClaw agent
-turn. It is not a model provider, not a channel, and not a tool registry.
-
-Use this surface only for bundled or trusted native plugins. The contract is
-still experimental because the parameter types intentionally mirror the current
-embedded runner.
-
-## When to use a harness
-
-Register an agent harness when a model family has its own native session
-runtime and the normal OpenClaw provider transport is the wrong abstraction.
-
-Examples:
-
-- a native coding-agent server that owns threads and compaction
-- a local CLI or daemon that must stream native plan/reasoning/tool events
-- a model runtime that needs its own resume id in addition to the OpenClaw
-  session transcript
-
-Do **not** register a harness just to add a new LLM API. For normal HTTP or
-WebSocket model APIs, build a [provider plugin](/plugins/sdk-provider-plugins).
-
-## What core still owns
-
-Before a harness is selected, OpenClaw has already resolved:
-
-- provider and model
-- runtime auth state
-- thinking level and context budget
-- the OpenClaw transcript/session file
-- workspace, sandbox, and tool policy
-- channel reply callbacks and streaming callbacks
-- model fallback and live model switching policy
-
-That split is intentional. A harness runs a prepared attempt; it does not pick
-providers, replace channel delivery, or silently switch models.
-
-## Register a harness
-
-**Import:** `openclaw/plugin-sdk/agent-harness`
-
-```typescript
-import type { AgentHarness } from "openclaw/plugin-sdk/agent-harness";
-import { definePluginEntry } from "openclaw/plugin-sdk/plugin-entry";
-
-const myHarness: AgentHarness = {
-  id: "my-harness",
-  label: "My native agent harness",
-
-  supports(ctx) {
-    return ctx.provider === "my-provider"
-      ? { supported: true, priority: 100 }
-      : { supported: false };
-  },
-
-  async runAttempt(params) {
-    // Start or resume your native thread.
-    // Use params.prompt, params.tools, params.images, params.onPartialReply,
-    // params.onAgentEvent, and the other prepared attempt fields.
-    return await runMyNativeTurn(params);
-  },
-};
-
-export default definePluginEntry({
-  id: "my-native-agent",
-  name: "My Native Agent",
-  description: "Runs selected models through a native agent daemon.",
-  register(api) {
-    api.registerAgentHarness(myHarness);
-  },
-});
-```
-
-## Selection policy
-
-OpenClaw chooses a harness after provider/model resolution:
-
-1. `OPENCLAW_AGENT_RUNTIME=<id>` forces a registered harness with that id.
-2. `OPENCLAW_AGENT_RUNTIME=pi` forces the built-in PI harness.
-3. `OPENCLAW_AGENT_RUNTIME=auto` asks registered harnesses if they support the
-   resolved provider/model.
-4. If no registered harness matches, OpenClaw uses PI unless PI fallback is
-   disabled.
-
-Forced plugin harness failures surface as run failures. In `auto` mode,
-OpenClaw may fall back to PI when the selected plugin harness fails before a
-turn has produced side effects. Set `OPENCLAW_AGENT_HARNESS_FALLBACK=none` or
-`embeddedHarness.fallback: "none"` to make that fallback a hard failure instead.
-
-The bundled Codex plugin registers `codex` as its harness id. For compatibility,
-`codex-app-server` and `app-server` also resolve to that same harness when you
-set `OPENCLAW_AGENT_RUNTIME` manually.
-
-## Provider plus harness pairing
-
-Most harnesses should also register a provider. The provider makes model refs,
-auth status, model metadata, and `/model` selection visible to the rest of
-OpenClaw. The harness then claims that provider in `supports(...)`.
-
-The bundled Codex plugin follows this pattern:
-
-- provider id: `codex`
-- user model refs: `codex/gpt-5.4`, `codex/gpt-5.2`, or another model returned
-  by the Codex app server
-- harness id: `codex`
-- auth: synthetic provider availability, because the Codex harness owns the
-  native Codex login/session
-- app-server request: OpenClaw sends the bare model id to Codex and lets the
-  harness talk to the native app-server protocol
-
-The Codex plugin is additive. Plain `openai/gpt-*` refs remain OpenAI provider
-refs and continue to use the normal OpenClaw provider path. Select `codex/gpt-*`
-when you want Codex-managed auth, Codex model discovery, native threads, and
-Codex app-server execution. `/model` can switch among the Codex models returned
-by the Codex app server without requiring OpenAI provider credentials.
-
-For operator setup, model prefix examples, and Codex-only configs, see
-[Codex Harness](/plugins/codex-harness).
-
-OpenClaw requires Codex app-server `0.118.0` or newer. The Codex plugin checks
-the app-server initialize handshake and blocks older or unversioned servers so
-OpenClaw only runs against the protocol surface it has been tested with.
-
-## Disable PI fallback
-
-By default, OpenClaw runs embedded agents with `agents.defaults.embeddedHarness`
-set to `{ runtime: "auto", fallback: "pi" }`. In `auto` mode, registered plugin
-harnesses can claim a provider/model pair. If none match, or if an auto-selected
-plugin harness fails before producing output, OpenClaw falls back to PI.
-
-Set `fallback: "none"` when you need to prove that a plugin harness is the only
-runtime being exercised. This disables automatic PI fallback; it does not block
-an explicit `runtime: "pi"` or `OPENCLAW_AGENT_RUNTIME=pi`.
-
-For Codex-only embedded runs:
-
-```json
-{
-  "agents": {
-    "defaults": {
-      "model": "codex/gpt-5.4",
-      "embeddedHarness": {
-        "runtime": "codex",
-        "fallback": "none"
-      }
-    }
-  }
-}
-```
-
-If you want any registered plugin harness to claim matching models but never
-want OpenClaw to silently fall back to PI, keep `runtime: "auto"` and disable
-the fallback:
-
-```json
-{
-  "agents": {
-    "defaults": {
-      "embeddedHarness": {
-        "runtime": "auto",
-        "fallback": "none"
-      }
-    }
-  }
-}
-```
-
-Per-agent overrides use the same shape:
-
-```json
-{
-  "agents": {
-    "defaults": {
-      "embeddedHarness": {
-        "runtime": "auto",
-        "fallback": "pi"
-      }
-    },
-    "list": [
-      {
-        "id": "codex-only",
-        "model": "codex/gpt-5.4",
-        "embeddedHarness": {
-          "runtime": "codex",
-          "fallback": "none"
-        }
-      }
-    ]
-  }
-}
-```
-
-`OPENCLAW_AGENT_RUNTIME` still overrides the configured runtime. Use
-`OPENCLAW_AGENT_HARNESS_FALLBACK=none` to disable PI fallback from the
-environment.
-
-```bash
-OPENCLAW_AGENT_RUNTIME=codex \
-OPENCLAW_AGENT_HARNESS_FALLBACK=none \
-openclaw gateway run
-```
-
-With fallback disabled, a session fails early when the requested harness is not
-registered, does not support the resolved provider/model, or fails before
-producing turn side effects. That is intentional for Codex-only deployments and
-for live tests that must prove the Codex app-server path is actually in use.
-
-This setting only controls the embedded agent harness. It does not disable
-image, video, music, TTS, PDF, or other provider-specific model routing.
-
-## Native sessions and transcript mirror
-
-A harness may keep a native session id, thread id, or daemon-side resume token.
-Keep that binding explicitly associated with the OpenClaw session, and keep
-mirroring user-visible assistant/tool output into the OpenClaw transcript.
-
-The OpenClaw transcript remains the compatibility layer for:
-
-- channel-visible session history
-- transcript search and indexing
-- switching back to the built-in PI harness on a later turn
-- generic `/new`, `/reset`, and session deletion behavior
-
-If your harness stores a sidecar binding, implement `reset(...)` so OpenClaw can
-clear it when the owning OpenClaw session is reset.
-
-## Tool and media results
-
-Core constructs the OpenClaw tool list and passes it into the prepared attempt.
-When a harness executes a dynamic tool call, return the tool result back through
-the harness result shape instead of sending channel media yourself.
-
-This keeps text, image, video, music, TTS, approval, and messaging-tool outputs
-on the same delivery path as PI-backed runs.
-
-## Current limitations
-
-- The public import path is generic, but some attempt/result type aliases still
-  carry `Pi` names for compatibility.
-- Third-party harness installation is experimental. Prefer provider plugins
-  until you need a native session runtime.
-- Harness switching is supported across turns. Do not switch harnesses in the
-  middle of a turn after native tools, approvals, assistant text, or message
-  sends have started.
