test: stabilize release docker e2e harnesses

Add chat-send first visible assistant output telemetry in the Control UI, plus Gateway diagnostics correlation attributes for chat.send dispatch spans. Verified with focused UI/Gateway tests, tsgo, oxlint, autoreview, PR checks, and Testbox-through-Crabbox check:changed.

 Tradeoff: tests may force code changes that stale the review. If tests or review lead to code edits, rerun the affected tests and rerun review until no accepted/actionable findings remain. Once that rerun exits cleanly, stop; do not spend another long review cycle on redundant confirmation.

 - use `--mode commit --commit <ref>` for already-committed work, especially clean `main` after landing
 - should be left in `--mode auto` or forced to `--mode branch` for PR/branch work; do not force `--mode local` after committing
 - writes only to stdout unless `--output`, `--json-output`, or live streamed engine stderr is set

 - supports `--stream-engine-output` or `AUTOREVIEW_STREAM_ENGINE_OUTPUT=1` for live engine text while preserving structured validation; Codex and Claude hide tool/file event details, emit compact activity summaries, and report usage at turn completion
 - supports opt-in review panels with `--panel` / `--reviewers`, plus per-engine `--model` and `--thinking`

-Use local Discord archive data before live Discord APIs. Check freshness for recent/current questions:
+Use local Discord archive data first for Discord questions. Hit Discord APIs
+only when the archive is stale, missing the requested scope, or the user asks
+for current external context.
+
+## Sources
+
+- DB: platform-native XDG data dir, usually
+  `${XDG_DATA_HOME:-~/.local/share}/discrawl/discrawl.db` on Linux or
+  `~/Library/Application Support/discrawl/discrawl.db` on macOS
+- Config: platform-native XDG config dir, with legacy fallback to
+  `~/.discrawl/config.toml`
+- Cache: platform-native XDG cache dir
+- Logs: platform-native XDG state dir
+- Git share repo: platform-native XDG data dir
+- Repo: `openclaw/discrawl`; use `~/GIT/_Perso/discrawl` only after verifying
+  its remote targets `openclaw/discrawl`, otherwise use a fresh checkout
+- Preferred CLI: `discrawl`; fallback to `go run ./cmd/discrawl` from the repo
+  if the installed binary is stale
+
+## Freshness
+
+For recent/current questions, check freshness before analysis:
 
 ```bash
 discrawl status --json
+```
+
+For precise freshness from the default database:
+
+```bash
+# Discrawl uses macOS ~/Library defaults unless XDG_DATA_HOME is explicitly set.
+case "$(uname -s)" in
+  Darwin)
+    db="$HOME/Library/Application Support/discrawl/discrawl.db"
+    ;;
+  *)
+    db="${XDG_DATA_HOME:-$HOME/.local/share}/discrawl/discrawl.db"
+    ;;
+esac
+sqlite3 "$db" \
+  "select coalesce(max(updated_at),'') from sync_state where scope like 'channel:%';"
+```
+
+Routine diagnostics:
+
+```bash
 discrawl doctor
 ```
 
-Refresh only when stale or asked:
+Desktop-local refresh:
 
 ```bash
 discrawl sync --source wiretap
+```
+
+Bot API latest refresh, when credentials are available:
+
+```bash
 discrawl sync
 ```
 
-Query with bounded slices:
+Use `--full` only for deliberate historical backfills:
+
+```bash
+discrawl sync --full
+```
+
+If SQLite reports busy/locked, check for stray `discrawl` processes before retrying.
+
+## Query Workflow
+
+1. Resolve scope: guild, channel, DM, author, keyword, date range.
+2. Check freshness for recent/current requests.
+3. Prefer CLI search/messages for slices; use read-only SQL for exact counts.
+4. Report absolute date spans, counts, channel/DM names, and known gaps.
+
+Use root or subcommand help for syntax: `discrawl --help`,
+`discrawl help search`, `discrawl search --help`. Use
+`DISCRAWL_NO_AUTO_UPDATE=1` for read smokes when you do not want git-share
+updates.
+
+Common commands:
 
 ```bash
 DISCRAWL_NO_AUTO_UPDATE=1 discrawl search --limit 20 "query"
 discrawl messages --channel '#maintainers' --days 7 --all
 discrawl dms --last 20
+discrawl tui --dm
 DISCRAWL_NO_AUTO_UPDATE=1 discrawl --json sql "select count(*) from messages;"
 ```
 
-Report absolute date spans, channel/DM names, counts, and known gaps. Use read-only SQL for exact counts/rankings. Never use `--unsafe --confirm` unless the user explicitly requests a reviewed DB mutation.
+## SQL
 
-Boundaries: bot sync needs configured Discord bot credentials. Wiretap reads local Discord Desktop artifacts only; do not extract user tokens, call Discord as the user, or write to Discord storage. Git-share snapshots must not include secrets or `@me` DM rows.
+Use `discrawl sql` for exact counts, joins, and ranking queries when normal
+CLI reads are too coarse. The command is read-only by default, accepts SQL as
+args or stdin, and supports `--json` for agent parsing.
+
+Useful examples:
+
+```bash
+DISCRAWL_NO_AUTO_UPDATE=1 discrawl --json sql "select count(*) as messages from messages;"
+DISCRAWL_NO_AUTO_UPDATE=1 discrawl --json sql "select coalesce(nullif(c.name, ''), m.channel_id) as channel, count(*) as messages from messages m left join channels c on c.id = m.channel_id group by m.channel_id order by messages desc limit 20;"
+DISCRAWL_NO_AUTO_UPDATE=1 discrawl --json sql "select coalesce(nullif(mm.display_name, ''), nullif(mm.global_name, ''), nullif(mm.username, ''), m.author_id) as author, count(*) as messages from messages m left join members mm on mm.guild_id = m.guild_id and mm.user_id = m.author_id group by m.guild_id, m.author_id order by messages desc limit 20;"
+```
+
+Never use `--unsafe --confirm` unless the user explicitly asks for a database
+mutation and the write has been reviewed.
+
+When the installed CLI lacks a new feature, build or run from a verified
+`openclaw/discrawl` checkout before concluding the feature is missing.
+
+## Discord Boundaries
+
+Bot API sync requires configured Discord bot credentials; do not invent token
+availability. Desktop wiretap mode reads local Discord Desktop artifacts and
+must not extract credentials, use user tokens, call Discord as the user, or
+write to Discord application storage. Wiretap/Desktop cache DMs are local-only
+and must not be described as part of the published Git snapshot. Git-share
+snapshots must not include secrets or `@me` DM rows.
+
+## Verification
+
+For repo edits, prefer existing Go gates:
+
+```bash
+GOWORK=off go test ./...
+```
+
+Then run targeted CLI smoke for the touched surface, for example:
+
+```bash
+discrawl doctor
+discrawl status --json
+DISCRAWL_NO_AUTO_UPDATE=1 discrawl search --limit 5 "test"
+```
+
+## ClawSweeper Sandbox
+
+Use the sandbox reader only:
+
+```bash
+discrawl-sandbox search --limit 20 "query"
+discrawl-sandbox messages --channel clawtributors --days 7 --all
+discrawl-sandbox status --json
+```
+
+This reader imports `https://github.com/openclaw/discord-store.git` into
+`/root/clawsweeper-sandbox-workspace/.discrawl/discrawl.db` with
+`discord.token_source = "none"`. The published Git snapshot is public-channel
+filtered; do not use `/root/.discrawl/config.toml` or the rich writer DB from
+sandboxed public Discord sessions.

 6. Preserve attribution:
    - keep `#issue`, `(#PR)`, `Fixes #...`, and `Thanks @...`

      its PR ref and `Thanks @author`, even when the PR had no linked issue

+   - when grouping multiple PRs/issues in one bullet, include every relevant
+     PR/issue ref and every human contributor handle in that same bullet

+- Before any verdict, read enough code to fill this map: changed surface, runtime entry point, owner boundary, one caller, one callee, sibling implementations sharing the invariant, adjacent tests, current `main` behavior, and shipped/dependency/Codex contracts when relevant.

 - Dependency-backed behavior: MUST read upstream docs/source/types before judging API use, defaults, output shapes, errors, timeouts, memory behavior, or compatibility. Do not assume dependency contracts from memory or PR text.
 - Judge solution quality, not only correctness. Ask whether the PR is the clean owner-boundary fix or a wart/workaround that should be replaced by a small refactor, moved seam, contract change, or deletion of duplicate logic.
 - Mention the main files read when the verdict depends on code-path evidence.

+
+# Verify Release
+
+Use this when asked whether an OpenClaw release is fully released, published,
+promoted, smoke-tested, or live-verified. This is a verification skill, not a
+publish skill; use `$release-openclaw-maintainer` before changing release state.
+
+## Rules
+
+- Resolve short suffixes like `.27` to the concrete CalVer version from the
+  current date/context, then say the resolved version.
+- Verify live state. Do not trust local checkout state, release notes, or old
+  memory as current truth.
+- If the checkout is dirty or divergent, use it only for scripts/reference.
+  For version metadata, fetch from GitHub release/tag or unpack the tag tarball
+  under `/tmp`.
+- Never print secrets. Use inherited live keys only for scoped smoke commands.
+- Keep the final terse: `yes/no`, evidence bullets, caveats, cleanup.
+
+## Core Checks
+
+1. GitHub release:
+   - `gh release view v<VERSION> --repo openclaw/openclaw --json tagName,name,publishedAt,isDraft,isPrerelease,targetCommitish,url,body,assets`
+   - Confirm stable releases are not draft/prerelease.
+   - Confirm release body has npm, CI, plugin npm, ClawHub, mac/appcast evidence
+     links when expected.
+   - Confirm assets expected for stable mac releases are uploaded: zip, dmg,
+     dSYM, dependency evidence when present.
+2. Root npm:
+   - `npm view openclaw@<VERSION> version dist-tags.latest dist.tarball dist.integrity time.<VERSION> --json`
+   - `latest` must equal `<VERSION>` for stable.
+   - Record tarball, integrity, publish time.
+3. Plugin publish set:
+   - Get exact tag metadata from GitHub, not the local checkout when dirty:
+     download `https://api.github.com/repos/openclaw/openclaw/tarball/v<VERSION>`
+     into `/tmp/openclaw-v<VERSION>-src`.
+   - Count `extensions/*/package.json` with
+     `openclaw.release.publishToNpm === true` and
+     `openclaw.release.publishToClawHub === true`.
+   - Compare expected counts to workflow job counts:
+     `gh api repos/openclaw/openclaw/actions/runs/<RUN>/jobs --paginate`.
+   - Each expected npm plugin must have version `<VERSION>` and
+     `dist-tags.latest === <VERSION>`.
+4. ClawHub:
+   - Check the Plugin ClawHub Release workflow conclusion and publish job count.
+   - Use OpenClaw itself for live registry proof:
+     `openclaw plugins search <known-plugin> --json`.
+   - Install one official plugin from ClawHub in an isolated HOME:
+     `openclaw plugins install clawhub:@openclaw/matrix --pin`.
+     Prefer `matrix` unless that plugin is not in the expected set.
+5. Release workflows:
+   - Verify conclusions for release notes evidence links:
+     Full Release Validation, OpenClaw Release Checks, OpenClaw NPM Release,
+     Plugin NPM Release, Plugin ClawHub Release, mac preflight/validation/publish
+     when stable mac assets are expected.
+   - Summarize only relevant successful/failed jobs; ignore routine skipped
+     optional lanes unless the release body promised them.
+6. Published package smoke:
+   - In `/tmp`, isolated HOME:
+     `npm exec --yes --package openclaw@<VERSION> -- openclaw --version`.
+   - Run at least one harmless command that touches the published CLI surface,
+     for example `plugins --help` or `gateway --help`.
+7. Dev Gateway live model smoke:
+   - Use temp HOME/workspace, not the user's normal state:
+     `HOME=/tmp/openclaw-release-smoke/home OPENCLAW_WORKSPACE=/tmp/openclaw-release-smoke/work pnpm openclaw --dev gateway run --auth none --force --verbose`.
+   - Health check via CLI: `openclaw --dev gateway health --json`.
+   - Run one Gateway-backed agent turn with inherited `OPENAI_API_KEY`, short
+     prompt, explicit session key, JSON output, and a known-available model.
+   - If the configured default model fails as unavailable, record that caveat
+     and retry with the newest known-good OpenAI model instead of declaring the
+     release failed.
+   - Stop the gateway and verify the port is not listening.
+
+## Caveats To Report
+
+- Dist-tag caveat: stable `latest` is release truth; if optional `beta` mirrors
+  still point at a beta version, report it as a caveat, not a stable-release
+  blocker, unless the user asked to verify beta promotion.
+- Divergent checkout caveat: say when local source SHA differs from release tag
+  or origin and which live sources were used instead.
+- Smoke caveat: distinguish Gateway-backed agent success from local embedded
+  fallback. A valid Gateway smoke has health OK plus gateway log/run id for the
+  agent call.

If challenged, keep reading first; do not defend the earlier verdict until the missing path is checked.
+- Dependency-touching work: direct dependency inspection is mandatory when feasible; do not rely on assumptions, wrappers, or memory. Most dependencies are OSS, so read their source/docs/types. Codex-related work has a hard gate: the acting agent must personally inspect sibling `../codex` source for the exact protocol/runtime behavior before any verdict, comment, approval, merge recommendation, code change, or `proof sufficient` claim. If missing, clone `https://github.com/openai/codex.git` there first. Subagent reports, PR text, OpenClaw wrappers, generated schemas, memory, and prior bot reviews do not satisfy this gate.

 - Plugin APIs, provider routing, auth/session state, persisted preferences, config loading, config/default additions, migrations, setup, startup checks, and fallback behavior are compatibility/upgrade-sensitive. Treat config breaks, new config/default surfaces, removed fallbacks, fail-closed changes, stricter validation, or new operator action as merge risk even with green CI when they can affect existing users, upgrades, provider/plugin behavior, or maintainer operations.
 - For PRs that add, remove, or change config/default surfaces with possible compatibility, upgrade, provider/plugin, operator, setup, startup, or fallback impact, ClawSweeper review should emit a `reviewMetrics` entry when practical. The metric should name the count and direction of the changes, such as added, changed, or removed config/default surfaces, and explain why the metric matters before merge. When the metric indicates concrete merge risk, also surface the concern in `risks`, use `mergeRiskLabels` when the risk matches the label rubric, make `bestSolution` name the desired pre-merge state, and ensure `labelJustifications` explain the specific reason rather than restating the label.
 - Review whole decision surfaces, not only the touched runtime, provider, channel, harness, plugin seam, or context path. Check sibling Codex/Pi-style runtimes, provider/model routing, channel delivery, gateway/protocol, plugin SDK, and context-management paths when relevant.
+- Every PR review must explicitly ask whether the PR is the best fix, not merely a plausible fix. Verdicts need a best-fix judgment backed by enough code reading to compare owner boundaries, callers, siblings, tests, docs, current `main`, shipped behavior when relevant, and dependency/Codex contracts when involved.
+- Before a PR verdict, build a small evidence map: changed surface, entry point, owner boundary, at least one caller and callee, sibling surfaces that share the invariant, existing tests, and current `main` behavior. If any cell is missing, say the gap instead of concluding.

 - External official plugins own package/deps and are excluded from core dist; core uses registry-aware `facade-runtime` or generic contracts.
 - Externalizing a bundled plugin: update package excludes, official catalogs, docs, tests, and prove core runtime paths resolve installed plugin roots before root-dep removal.
 - Runtime reads canonical config only. No silent compat for old/malformed config keys. If a config change invalidates existing files, add a matching `openclaw doctor --fix` migration. Core/auth config repairs live in core doctor; plugin-owned config repairs live in that plugin's doctor contract (`legacyConfigRules` / `normalizeCompatibilityConfig`).
+- OpenAI Codex is folded into `openai`. No new/live `openai-codex` provider/plugin/auth/model routes; treat them as legacy input only. Runtime/setup/auth/catalog use `openai` + `openai/*`; doctor/migrations repair stale `openai-codex/*` profiles/metadata.
+- Config/env surface bar is high; `openclaw.json` and environment variables are already large. Before adding a config option or env var, first prove existing product behavior, provider selection, defaults, or doctor migration cannot solve it. Prefer removing or consolidating config/env options when touching these surfaces. Core supports only the latest config shape; `openclaw doctor --fix` migrates older shipped shapes into the current one.
+- CLI setup flows are public API when external docs, installers, or integrations can copy them. Changes to `openclaw onboard`, `openclaw configure`, their documented flags, non-interactive behavior, or generated config shape are compatibility-sensitive API contract changes; prefer additive flags/aliases, deprecation windows, and backward-preserving migrations over breaking existing snippets.
 - Fix shape: default to clean bounded refactor, not smallest patch. Move ownership to right boundary; delete stale abstractions, duplicate policy, dead branches, wrappers, fallback stacks.
 - Fix observed local failures with generic product rules; do not hardcode names, ids, log phrases, or user examples in prod code unless they are an explicit contract.
 - Tests may use observed examples, but prod literals need a short contract reason.
 - Compatibility is opt-in. "Shipped" means reachable from a release Git tag; main/GitHub/PR/unreleased code is not shipped.
 - Refactor default: one canonical path. Delete the old path unless user explicitly wants compat or the shipped public contract is obvious and cited.
+- Core runtime consumes only current canonical shapes/config/data. Legacy or retired shapes normalize only in doctor/migration code before runtime; no runtime shims, aliases, or fallback readers.
+- State/storage migrations are database-first. Runtime reads/writes the canonical store only. Old file stores, sidecars, aliases, and fallback readers belong in `openclaw doctor --fix` migration code only, never steady-state runtime.
+- Storage default: SQLite only. Do not add JSON/JSONL/TXT/sidecar files for OpenClaw-owned runtime state, caches, queues, registries, indexes, cursors, checkpoints, or plugin scratch data.
+- SQLite runtime access uses Kysely helpers, not raw SQL statement strings, except schema DDL, migrations, low-level DB bootstrap, or narrowly justified SQLite primitives.
+- Use the shared state DB (`state/openclaw.sqlite`) for global runtime state and plugin KV data. Use the per-agent DB (`agents/<agentId>/agent/openclaw-agent.sqlite`) for agent-scoped state/cache. Use a dedicated SQLite DB only when schema, volume, or lifecycle clearly does not fit those stores.
+- Legacy state/cache files are migration debt. When touching code that reads/writes them, prefer moving the data into SQLite or calling out the refactor follow-up; do not add parallel file paths.
+- File storage must be a named product artifact: import/export, user attachment, log, backup, or external tool contract. If it is app state or cache, it belongs in SQLite.
+- Before adding any path under state dirs, choose one: shared state DB, plugin KV, agent DB, or dedicated SQLite schema. If none fits, design the SQLite owner/schema first.
+- Cache/transient state gets no compat migration unless a shipped user contract is cited. Prefer delete/drop/rebuild over import. If old state can be lost without user-visible data loss, remove the old path entirely.
+- Persistent user state gets one migration owner. Doctor migrates, verifies, and then runtime assumes the new shape. No dual-write, read-through fallback, lazy import, or "if SQLite fails use JSON" branches.
+- Fallback is a product decision, not an implementation convenience. Before adding one, name the shipped contract, failure mode, removal plan, and why doctor cannot solve it. Otherwise delete it.
 - Keep old behavior only for an explicit public API/config/plugin SDK/data contract, tagged upgrade path, security/migration boundary, dependency contract, or observed prod state.
 - If unsure, ask before preserving compat. Do not keep aliases, shims, fallback stacks, stale names, or obsolete tests just in case.
 - Tests alone do not make internals contracts. If compat stays, name the contract and migration/removal plan in code, test, or PR.

+- Portable command UI must use typed presentation actions, not raw string inference. Do not make channels guess that `value` starting with `/` means a native command; core/owner plugins declare command actions, channels map them when supported.
+- Raw callback data is transport/private. Approval, command, URL, web-app, and select actions must stay distinguishable before channel encoding so transport adapters do not special-case product strings.
+- Agent run terminal state: normalize/merge via `src/agents/agent-run-terminal-outcome.ts`; do not rederive timeout/cancel precedence in projections.
 - Hot paths should carry prepared facts forward: provider id, model ref, channel id, target, capability family, attachment class. Do not rediscover with broad plugin/provider/channel/capability loaders.
 - Do not fix repeated request-time discovery with scattered caches. Move the canonical fact earlier; reuse prepared runtime objects; delete duplicate lookup branches.
 - Gateway/plugin metadata is process-stable: installs, manifests, catalogs, generated paths, bundled metadata. Changes require restart or explicit owner reload/install/doctor flow.
 - Runtime hot paths: no freshness polling (`stat`/`realpath`/JSON reread/hash). Reuse current snapshots, install records, discovery, lookup tables, root scopes, resolved paths.
 - Process-local metadata caches ok when lifecycle-owned and bounded/single-slot. Freshness exceptions need named owner + tests.

Associated means linked PRs/issues, duplicates, companion workaround PRs, and the canonical issue for the rejected behavior.
 - Do not leave associated issues open for hypothetical future repros. Close with rationale; ask for a new issue or reopen only if concrete new evidence appears. Close comment states: decision, why, supported alternative, and what evidence would change the decision.

+- Agents/TUI: restore in-flight TUI run switch-back behavior, keep no-policy native hook fallback available, guard vanished workspaces, and keep lightweight isolated subagents lightweight.
+- Agents/media: keep async image, music, and video generation starts from ending the Codex turn, so mixed requests can continue with summaries or other work while media renders in the background.
+- Agents/Codex: keep public OpenAI API-key profiles from being treated as native Codex app-server auth while preserving persisted Codex OAuth sessions.
+- Control UI: keep collapsed tool cards labeled with the tool name and action instead of generic output text. Thanks @shakkernerd.
+- Agents/Codex: surface Skill Workshop guidance in Codex app-server prompts when `skill_workshop` is available. Thanks @shakkernerd.
+- Agents/auth: write auth profiles atomically, add force re-login recovery, preserve workspaces during state-only uninstall, and compact before oversized turns so recovery paths avoid partial state.
+- Skills: skip disabled skill env overrides from stale persisted snapshots so disabled skill `apiKey` SecretRefs cannot abort embedded or channel turns. (#79072, #79173) Thanks @zeus1959.
+- CLI: avoid live catalog validation during `openclaw agents add`, so adding a secondary agent no longer depends on provider catalog availability. (#76284, #88314) Thanks @zhangguiping-xydt.
+- CLI: keep `plugins list --json` on the snapshot-only path so plugin sweeps avoid loading the full runtime status graph.
+- CLI/desktop: bridge WSL clipboard operations through the shell and recognize manual-update launchd jobs. (#88764)
+- Plugins: make PixVerse external-plugin ClawHub metadata explicit and keep it out of bundled dist builds.

+- Providers: cap GitHub Copilot OAuth request timeouts before creating abort signals.
+- Cron: retry recurring jobs after transient model rate limits before waiting for the next scheduled slot.

+- Providers/media: cap local service, model, usage, queue, generated media, TTS, music, workflow polling, and provider OAuth request timers across hosted and local providers.
+- Release/CI/E2E: bound release candidate reads, beta smoke REST calls, changelog restore, kitchen-sink and bundled plugin readiness probes, secret-provider probes, Vitest routing, and mainline test flakes. (#88127, #88137, #88155, #88160)

+- Release/CI/E2E: run the secret-provider integration proof through the repo pnpm runner so native macOS and Windows validation use the hydrated package-manager shim.
+- Release/CI/E2E: run the Telegram desktop proof gateway through the repo pnpm runner so native macOS proof uses the hydrated package-manager shim.
+- Docs/CI: run Mintlify anchor checks through the repo pnpm runner so docs link validation works when pnpm is only available through the hydrated package-manager shim.
+- Agents: keep configured fallback model metadata typed so provider params, context-token caps, and media input limits do not break changed-gate typechecks.
+- Agents: accept hidden `sessions_send` body aliases before validation while keeping the model-facing `message` schema canonical. (#88229) Thanks @zhangguiping-xydt.
+- Chat/UI: preserve startup chat sends during history loading, unblock the initial Control UI chat send, stream chat deltas incrementally, skip markdown parsing while streaming, honor Chromium executable overrides, and detect system Chromium for E2E.
+- Channels: preserve long Feishu streaming replies, send visible fallbacks when accepted Feishu turns produce no final reply, tolerate iMessage self-chat timestamp skew, decode Nostr `npub` allowlists correctly, and suppress raw provider errors during channel delivery. (#87896)
+- Config/status/doctor: skip unresolved shell references in state-dir dotenv files, resolve gateway auth secrets during deep status audits, respect explicit PI runtime policy, report runtime tool-schema errors, and keep post-upgrade JSON stable. (#88288)
+- Gateway/session state: list commands from the Gateway plugin registry, harden MCP loopback tool schemas, hide phantom agent-store rows from `sessions.list`, make task persistence failures explicit, and carry session UUIDs on interactive dispatch events.
+- OpenAI/TTS: handle speed directives for OpenAI TTS voices. (#74089)
+- CI/Crabbox: keep default runner capacity on the Azure credit-backed on-demand D4 lane with the Azure SSH port and a Git-independent full check job, so broad validation avoids low-priority spot quota stalls, hydrate port mismatches, non-Git hydrated workspaces, and stale AWS region hints.
+- CI/Crabbox: route Crabbox wrapper and Testbox workflow edits to their regression tests so changed-test gates do not silently run zero specs.
+- CI/workflows: route workflow sanity helper edits to their guard tests and cover composite-action input interpolation checks.
+- CI/tooling: route CI scope, dependency, changelog, and docs helper edits to their owner tests instead of silently skipping changed-test coverage.
+- CI/tooling: route package, release, and install helper edits to their owner tests so changed-test gates cover publish and installer script changes.
+- CI/tooling: route shared script library edits through their owner tests so lock, process, safety, and scan helpers do not skip changed-test coverage.
+- CI/tooling: skip expensive import-graph scans once a changed diff already requires broad fallback, keeping local changed-test planning fast while still collecting explicit owner tests.
+- CI/tooling: route script edits through conventional owner tests when matching `test/scripts` or `src/scripts` coverage already exists.
+- CI/tooling: honor option terminators in the memory FD repro script so follow-on arguments are not reparsed.
+- Release/CI/E2E: assert plugin lifecycle runtime inspect output instead of only capturing it.
+- Release/CI/E2E: make gateway-network prove the advertised health RPC and retry early WebSocket closes without burning full open timeouts.
+- Release/CI/E2E: honor option terminators across release, Parallels smoke, plugin gauntlet, and extension-memory scripts.
+- Release/CI/E2E: fail plugin gateway gauntlet QA chunks when the requested suite summary is missing or invalid.
+- Performance: prebuild QA runtime probes with generated plugin assets but without CLI startup metadata.
+- Performance: skip declaration bundling for runtime-only CLI startup and gateway watch build profiles.
+- Performance: reuse prepared provider handles, strict tool schemas, gateway runtime metadata, session maintenance config, plugin metadata, bundled skill allowlists, package-local plugin artifacts, single-entry store writes, and validated/serialized session prompt blobs.

 ## 2026.5.28
 
 ### Highlights
 
-- Agent and Codex runtime recovery is steadier: subagents keep cwd/workspace separation, hook context stays prompt-local, session locks release on timeout abort, stale restart continuations are avoided, and Codex app-server/helper failures no longer tear down shared runtime state. (#87218, #86875, #87409, #87399, #87375)
-- Channel delivery and session identity got safer across outbound plugin hooks, Matrix room ids, iMessage reactions/approvals, Slack final replies, Discord recovered tool warnings, and Microsoft Teams service URL trust checks. (#73706, #75670, #87366, #87451, #87334)
-- CLI, auth, doctor, and provider paths fail faster and recover more clearly: malformed numeric/version options are rejected, OAuth and local service startup requests are bounded, legacy `api_key` auth profiles migrate to canonical form, and restart guidance is actionable. (#87398, #86281, #87361)
-- Plugin and Gateway hot paths do less repeated work while preserving cache correctness for install records, config JSON parsing, tool search catalogs, session stores, manifest model rows, auto-enabled plugin config, browser tokens, and viewer assets. (#86699)

(#73706, #75670, #87366, #87451, #87334, #84535, #82492, #83304, #87160)
+- Mobile and chat surfaces got a broader refresh: the iOS Pro UI, hosted push relay default, realtime Talk tab playback, Gateway chat transport, onboarding, Talk permissions, WebChat reconnect delivery, and session picker behavior now preserve more state across reconnects and empty searches. (#87367, #87531, #87682, #88096, #88105) Thanks @ngutman and @BunsDev.
+- Browser, channel, and automation inputs are stricter: Browser tool timeouts, viewport/tab indices, Gateway ports, cron retry handling, Discord component ids, schema array refs, Telegram callback pages, and channel progress callbacks now reject malformed values earlier and preserve the intended delivery context. (#82887)
+- Provider, media, and document coverage expands with Claude Opus 4.8, Fal Krea image schemas, NVIDIA featured models, MiniMax streaming music responses, encrypted PDF extraction, voice model catalogs, GitHub Copilot agent runtime support, and a Codex Supervisor plugin path for delegated Codex workflows.

+- Plugin and Gateway hot paths do less repeated work while preserving cache correctness for install records, config JSON parsing, tool search catalogs, session stores, manifest model rows, auto-enabled plugin config, browser tokens, viewer assets, and release-split external plugin packages. (#86699)
 - Release, QA, and E2E validation now bound more log, artifact, harness, and cross-OS waits so failing lanes produce proof instead of hanging or false-greening.

+            <description><![CDATA[<h2>OpenClaw 2026.5.27</h2>
+<h3>Highlights</h3>
+<ul>
+<li>Stronger security and content boundaries: group prompt text is kept out of the system prompt, repeated-dot hostnames are normalized, side-effecting command wrappers and unsafe Node runtime env overrides are blocked, no-auth Tailscale exposure is rejected, and node/device-role approvals now require admin authority. (#87144, #87305, #87292, #87308, #87146) Thanks @eleqtrizit and @pgondhi987.</li>
+<li>More reliable Codex app-server runs: Codex runtime models resolve first, workspace memory is routed through tools, shared app-server clients survive startup and spawned-helper failures, native hook relay generations survive restarts and rotate on fresh fallbacks, and false runtime live switches are avoided. (#87383, #87403, #87375, #72574, #87428) Thanks @yetval.</li>
+<li>Faster Gateway and reply paths: session reads, plugin metadata fingerprints, auth env snapshots, auto-enabled plugin config, tool-search catalogs, and stable metadata caches do less hot-path rediscovery while visible replies no longer inherit hidden cleanup timeouts. (#86439, #87044) Thanks @keshavbotagent.</li>
+<li>Better provider and model coverage: OpenAI-compatible embedding providers are core, DeepInfra catalog browsing loads the full credential-aware model set, Pixverse adds video generation and API region selection, VLLM thinking params are wired, Claude CLI OAuth overlays load for PI auth profiles, and bare direct Anthropic model ids work. (#85269, #84549, #87167) Thanks @dutifulbob, @ats3v, and @joshavant.</li>
+<li>Channel delivery is steadier: Telegram <code>sendMessage</code> actions use durable outbound delivery, iMessage suppresses duplicate native exec approval prompts and sends, Slack keeps delivered final replies during late cleanup, Matrix mention previews/finals are stricter, QQBot fallback approval buttons honor slash-command auth, Discord guild requester checks are tighter, recovered Discord tool-warning artifacts stay out of successful replies, and Google Chat stops thread sends in DMs. (#87261, #87154) Thanks @mbelinky and @eleqtrizit.</li>
+<li>Release, package, and CI proof paths are harder to wedge: npm/package inventory honors dist exclusions, shrinkwrap override pins merge correctly, Docker runtime workspace templates are packaged and smoked, release postpublish checks are stricter, beta smoke rejects empty runs, and E2E log/probe waits are bounded.</li>
+</ul>
+<h3>Changes</h3>
+<ul>
+<li>Memory: add a core OpenAI-compatible embedding provider for local and hosted OpenAI-style endpoints, with config, doctor, and docs support. (#85269) Thanks @dutifulbob.</li>
+<li>Plugin SDK: mark memory-specific embedding provider registration as deprecated compatibility and surface non-bundled usage in plugin compatibility diagnostics. (#85072) Thanks @mbelinky.</li>
+<li>Providers: add the Pixverse video generation provider, API region selection, docs, and external plugin packaging support.</li>
+<li>DeepInfra: load the full model catalog when users browse models during onboarding, preserve configured API-key catalogs, refresh media/video defaults, and keep pricing/default model metadata aligned. (#84549) Thanks @ats3v.</li>
+<li>Plugin SDK: expose plugin approval action metadata and stop exporting Vitest test helpers from the public SDK surface. (#87120) Thanks @RomneyDa.</li>
+<li>Channel SDK: move channel message compatibility into core, remove old channel turn runtime aliases, and preserve runtime catalog markdown metadata for plugins.</li>
+<li>ClawHub: add plugin display metadata so catalog/package listings use cleaner names. (#87354) Thanks @thewilloftheshadow.</li>
+<li>Agents: split the heartbeat runtime template out of docs assets and add compatibility repair for legacy heartbeat template content. (#85416) Thanks @hxy91819.</li>
+</ul>
+<h3>Fixes</h3>
+<ul>

(#87144, #87305, #87292, #87308, #87146, #87154, #87334) Thanks @eleqtrizit and @pgondhi987.</li>
+<li>Codex: resolve Codex runtime models before generic routing, route workspace memory through tools, preserve shared app-server clients after startup and spawned-helper failures, preserve native hook relay generations across restarts and fresh fallbacks, keep raw reasoning/source-reply guards intact, report quarantined dynamic tools, keep the attempt watchdog armed for queued terminal turns, and route Codex OAuth compaction through OpenAI-Codex. (#87383, #87403, #87375, #72574, #87428) Thanks @yetval.</li>

+<li>Reply/session delivery: keep visible turn admission unbounded, keep visible fallback delivery on latest targets, preserve bridge hook context, classify direct fallback targets by channel grammar, report approval resolutions in bridge mode, and avoid stale source-reply artifacts. (#87044) Thanks @keshavbotagent.</li>
+<li>Channels: make Telegram <code>sendMessage</code> action replies durable and preserve SecretRef prompt config, suppress duplicate iMessage native exec approval prompts and sends, keep iMessage approval polling alive after denied reactions, keep Slack delivered final replies during late cleanup, keep Matrix mention previews/finals mention-inert and normally delivered, ignore filename-embedded Matrix IDs, suppress recovered Discord tool-warning artifacts from successful replies, suppress Google Chat thread sends in DMs, and harden Discord guild requester checks. (#87261, #87452) Thanks @mbelinky.</li>
+<li>Memory: salvage QMD search JSON after nonzero exits and keep workspace memory routing through the Codex tool path where possible. (#87225, #87383, #87403) Thanks @osolmaz.</li>
+<li>Providers/models: forward cached token usage in OpenAI-compatible chat completions, load Claude CLI OAuth overlays for PI auth profiles, send bare direct Anthropic model ids, wire configured VLLM thinking params, honor OpenAI-compatible cache retention, normalize OpenAI Responses replay tool ids, resolve OpenAI <code>gpt-5.5</code> without a cached catalog, preserve <code>retry-after</code> fallback handling, bound GitHub Copilot auth requests, and load DeepInfra custom/live catalogs consistently. (#82062, #87167, #84549) Thanks @caz0075, @joshavant, and @ats3v.</li>
+<li>Gateway/performance: borrow read-only session metadata and active session working stores, cache current/stable plugin metadata fingerprints, cache auto-enabled plugin config, slim metadata identity caches, trust current metadata lifecycle caches, stabilize isolated cron prompt-cache affinity, persist model auth profile suffixes, drain probe client closes, expire browser tokens after auth rotation, and keep default status fast paths bounded. Thanks @ferminquant.</li>
+<li>CLI/help/config: reject loose or malformed numeric options for gateway timeouts, model limits, directory limits, message options, webhooks, and partial values; respect subcommand version options; route generated/root/plugin help targets correctly; keep skills JSON output flushing naturally; and keep plugin descriptor loading quiet in root help. (#87398) Thanks @Patrick-Erichsen.</li>
+<li>Plugin state/tool search: evict the current namespace when plugin rows hit caps, reuse unchanged tool-search catalogs, align the release catalog reuse wrapper, and keep fallback tool warnings mention-inert.</li>

-<h3>Changes</h3>
-<ul>
-<li>Gateway/perf: reuse process-stable channel catalog reads, avoid repeated bundled-channel boundary checks, and rotate gateway watch CPU profiles so benchmark runs do not accumulate unbounded artifacts.</li>
-<li>Gateway/perf: reuse immutable plugin metadata snapshots across startup, config, model, channel, setup, and secret metadata readers so hot paths avoid repeated plugin file stats and manifest registry reloads.</li>
-<li>Gateway/perf: lazy-load startup-idle plugin work, core gateway method handlers, and the embedded ACPX runtime so Gateway health and ready signals no longer wait on unused handler trees or ACPX probes.</li>
-<li>Gateway/perf: cache plugin SDK public-surface alias maps and skip irrelevant macOS Linuxbrew PATH probes so Gateway startup avoids repeated filesystem walks and slow missing-directory stats.</li>
-<li>Meeting Notes: add a source-only external meeting-notes plugin and SDK source-provider contract outside the core npm package, with auto-start capture config, manual transcript imports, read-only <code>openclaw meeting-notes</code> CLI access, and Discord voice as the first live source.</li>
-<li>Docs/channels/config: add Signal <code>configPath</code>, Telegram wildcard topic defaults, local-time backup archive names, Termux home fallback, include-path validation, secret-scanner-safe placeholder guidance, Gemini CLI/Antigravity media guidance, and macOS VM auto-login guidance.

Thanks @nielskaspers, @cosmopolitan033, @drclaw-iq, @alexgduarte, @zccyman, @chengoak, and @cassthebandit.</li>
-<li>Packaging: exclude documentation images and assets from the npm tarball, reducing published package size without affecting runtime docs search or CLI behavior. Thanks @SebTardif.</li>
-<li>Media understanding: stop auto-probing Gemini CLI and use Antigravity CLI only as a lower-priority image/video fallback after configured provider APIs.</li>
-<li>Agents/subagents: limit default sub-agent bootstrap context to <code>AGENTS.md</code> and <code>TOOLS.md</code>, keeping persona, identity, user, memory, heartbeat, and setup files out of delegated workers by default. (#85283) Thanks @100yenadmin.</li>
-<li>Maintainer skills: exclude plugin SDK/API boundary work from <code>openclaw-landable-bug-sweep</code> so bugbash sweeps stay focused on small paper-cut fixes.</li>
-<li>QA-Lab/diagnostics: extend the OpenTelemetry smoke harness to prove trace, metric, and log export, and add first-class Prometheus and observability smoke aliases.</li>

-<li>QA-Lab: list live transport lane membership in the coverage report so real transport checks stay separate from seeded qa-channel scenarios.</li>
-<li>Release/package: run package integrity checks before package acceptance lanes so public install/update validation fails before private QA assets can leak into the package.</li>
-<li>QA-Lab: include the optional 100-turn runtime parity soak in release-soak artifacts so long-run Codex/Pi transcript drift stays visible outside the default gate. (#80395) Thanks @100yenadmin.</li>
-<li>QA-Lab: add a live-only long-context progress watchdog scenario for Codex app-server timeout and stalled-run sentinels. (#80323) Thanks @100yenadmin.</li>
-<li>QA-Lab: tag gateway restart recovery and streaming final-integrity scenarios as live-only runtime parity lanes. (#80323) Thanks @100yenadmin.</li>

-<li>QA-Lab: add Codex plugin lifecycle and auth-profile fixture coverage for missing installs, pinned-version drift, first-turn install ordering, and doctor migration safety. (#80323, refs #80174) Thanks @100yenadmin.</li>
-<li>Models/perf: pre-warm the provider auth-state map at gateway startup so <code>/models</code> and every model-listing call short-circuits the per-provider plugin / external-CLI discovery on the hot path. Per-call cost drops from ~20 s to ~5 ms (~4,100×); the one-time startup warm resets and re-warms after hot reloads. (#84816) Thanks @sjf.</li>
-<li>Release/security: ship the root npm package and OpenClaw-owned npm plugins with generated shrinkwrap, support bundled plugin runtime dependencies for suitable plugin tarballs, and require review for lockfile/shrinkwrap changes so published installs use locked dependency graphs.</li>
-<li>Tests/perf: isolate doctor core health check unit coverage from real skills/workspace discovery so <code>doctor-core-checks</code> no longer dominates unit perf while keeping one real skills-readiness smoke. (#84493) Thanks @frankekn.</li>
-</ul>
-<h3>Fixes</h3>
-<ul>
-<li>WebChat: summarize internal message-tool source replies so tool cards no longer duplicate the visible reply body. (#84773) Thanks @jason-allen-oneal.</li>

-<li>Agents/subagents: report tool-only child progress during timeout summaries instead of showing no visible output.</li>
-<li>Telegram/ACP: preserve explicit <code>:topic:</code> conversation suffixes when inbound ACP targets do not carry a separate thread id.</li>
-<li>Browser/proxy: bypass the managed proxy for the exact local managed Chrome CDP readiness and DevTools WebSocket endpoints, so <code>openclaw browser start</code> works when the operator proxy blocks loopback egress. (#83255) Thanks @lightcap.</li>
-<li>Ollama: bypass the managed proxy for configured local embedding origins while keeping SSRF guardrails on unconfigured targets. Thanks @Kaspre.</li>
-<li>OpenAI/images: route Codex API-key image generation through the native OpenAI Images API instead of the Codex OAuth streaming backend, avoiding 401s from valid API keys.</li>

-<li>Checks/Windows: route full <code>pnpm check</code> stage commands through the managed child runner so Windows avoids Node shell-argv deprecation warnings there too.</li>
-<li>Checks/Windows: run managed child commands through explicit <code>cmd.exe</code> wrapping instead of Node shell mode with argv, avoiding Node 24 subprocess deprecation warnings during changed checks.</li>
-<li>Gateway: omit internal stream-error placeholder entries from agent prompt history so failed assistant turns are not replayed as model-authored text. (#85652) Thanks @anyech.</li>
-<li>Sessions: enforce the session write-lock max-hold policy during lock acquisition so long-held locks can be reclaimed before the stale-lock window. (#85764) Thanks @njuboy11.</li>

-<li>Gateway/config: pin relative <code>OPENCLAW_STATE_DIR</code> overrides to an absolute path at startup so later working-directory changes cannot retarget gateway state. (#52264) Thanks @PerfectPan.</li>
-<li>Release/package: run npm release, prepublish, and postpublish verification through Windows-safe npm command shims so native Windows checks can execute <code>npm.cmd</code> instead of treating it as a binary.</li>
-<li>Agents/harness: pass CLI runtime aliases through harness selection so provider-owned CLI aliases no longer get rejected before reaching the right runtime. (#85631) Thanks @potterdigital.</li>
-<li>Secrets: show the irreversible apply warning after interactive <code>secrets configure</code> confirmation so confirmed migrations still get the final safety prompt. (#85638) Thanks @alkor2000.</li>
-<li>Agents/CLI output: ignore cumulative Claude <code>stream-json</code> result usage when assistant usage events are present, preventing inflated cache-read accounting. (#85625) Thanks @zhouhe-xydt.</li>

-<li>Agents/bootstrap: guard bootstrap name checks against missing file names so malformed bootstrap entries warn and truncate instead of crashing. Fixes #85523. (#85615) Thanks @zhouhe-xydt.</li>
-<li>CLI/tasks: reject partially numeric <code>openclaw tasks audit --limit</code> values so audit limits must be real positive integers instead of accepting strings like <code>5abc</code>. (#84901) Thanks @jbetala7.</li>
-<li>Status/diagnostics: bound deep Docker audit probes so <code>openclaw status --deep</code> reports slow container checks instead of hanging behind unbounded inspection. (#85476) Thanks @giodl73-repo.</li>
-<li>Providers/Anthropic: migrate 1M context handling to GA-capable Claude 4.x models by sizing eligible models at 1M without the retired <code>context-1m-2025-08-07</code> beta, ignoring that retired beta in older configs, and preserving OAuth-required Anthropic beta headers. (#45613) Thanks @haoyu-haoyu.</li>

-<li>Memory/LanceDB: expose public memory artifacts through the active memory provider bridge so memory-wiki imports durable memory files, daily notes, dream reports, and event logs without depending on memory-core internals. Fixes #83604. (#85060) Thanks @brokemac79.</li>
-<li>Crabbox: keep AWS hydration compatible with local Actions replay by inlining the hydrate workflow's Node/pnpm setup instead of invoking repo-local composite actions.</li>
-<li>Agents/subagents: simplify native sub-agent completion handoff so children report their latest visible assistant result to the requester without using <code>message</code>, while keeping parent-owned message-tool delivery policy intact. Fixes #85070. (#85089) Thanks @brokemac79.</li>
-<li>Docker setup: stop printing the Gateway bearer token in setup logs and printed follow-up commands.</li>
-<li>Agents: let embedded compaction fallback retries proceed when PI-compatible candidates do not need agent harness plugin preparation.</li>
-<li>Agents/tools: honor configured custom provider API keys when deciding whether media, image-generation, video-generation, music-generation, and PDF tools are available. (#85570)</li>
-<li>StepFun: stop advertising stale generic API key auth choices so onboarding only offers runtime-backed Standard and Step Plan choices.</li>
-<li>Diagnostics: keep OpenTelemetry log bodies behind explicit content capture and scrub scoped agent-session keys from OpenTelemetry and Prometheus labels while preserving bounded queue-lane prefixes.</li>
-<li>Windows installer: fail Git checkout installs when <code>pnpm install</code> or <code>pnpm build</code> fails instead of writing a wrapper to a missing CLI build.</li>
-<li>Sessions: surface previous-transcript archive failures during <code>/new</code> rotation so disk rename errors are logged instead of silently hiding stranded transcript files. Fixes #81984. (#85586, from #82081) Thanks @0xghost42.</li>
-<li>TUI/agents: mirror internal-ui message-tool replies into final chat output so message-tool-only agents remain visible in <code>openclaw tui</code>. Fixes #85538. Thanks @danpolasek.</li>
-<li>Agents: keep parallel OpenAI-compatible tool-call deltas in separate argument buffers so interleaved tool calls no longer corrupt streamed arguments. (#82263) Thanks @luna-system.</li>
-<li>Memory/doctor: report missing or unusable QMD workspace directories as workspace failures instead of generic binary failures. (#63167) Thanks @sercada.</li>
-<li>Debug proxy: record CONNECT client-socket errors and destroy the paired upstream socket so abrupt client disconnects no longer leak tunnel resources. (#82444) Thanks @SebTardif.</li>
-<li>Diffs: continue hydrating later diff cards when one card fails so a single broken card no longer blanks the whole diff viewer. (#84775) Thanks @cosmopolitan033.</li>
-<li>Mac app: use the native settings sidebar window chrome so the sidebar toggle stays on the left and content no longer clips under oversized titlebar padding.</li>
-<li>QA-Lab/Codex: bundle auth/plugin fixture imports for flow scenarios and let terminal async media tools end Codex app-server turns without timing out. (#80397, refs #80323) Thanks @100yenadmin.</li>

-<li>Control UI/chat: keep chat session search inline with the session selector so the header no longer shows a duplicate standalone search row.</li>
-<li>Control UI/chat: collapse focused-mode header chrome and suppress hidden-header scroll updates so focus mode no longer jumps while scrolling. Thanks @amknight.</li>
-<li>Codex app-server: restart the native app-server and retry once when server-side compaction times out, so preflight compaction stalls recover instead of failing every dispatch. (#85500)</li>
-<li>Restore Control UI gateway token pairing [AI]. (#85459) Thanks @pgondhi987.</li>
-<li>OpenAI video: honor configured provider request private-network opt-in for local/custom video endpoints so explicitly trusted mock and self-hosted providers are not blocked. Thanks @shakkernerd.</li>

-<li>Codex app-server: disable native Code Mode when the effective exec host is <code>node</code> and keep OpenClaw <code>exec</code>/<code>process</code> available, so <code>/exec host=node</code> routes shell commands through the selected node instead of the gateway. Fixes #85012. (#85090) Thanks @sahilsatralkar.</li>
-<li>Agents: bound embedded auto-compaction session write-lock watchdogs to the compaction timeout instead of the full run timeout, so stuck compaction cannot hold the live session lock for the whole run window. (#84949) Thanks @luoyanglang.</li>

-<li>Agents/Codex: show the first plan update as a transient chat status notice without counting it as final assistant content.</li>
-<li>CLI/update: walk the macOS process ancestry and honor the inherited Gateway runtime PID before package updates stop the managed Gateway service, so nested in-band updater children can refuse instead of killing the LaunchAgent-supervised Gateway that owns them. Fixes #85120.</li>
-<li>Gateway/LaunchAgent: wait for launchd reload bootout to finish and fall back to kickstart when bootstrap races, so reload handoff does not leave the service deregistered. Fixes #84630. (#84641) Thanks @NianJiuZst.</li>
-<li>Gateway/LaunchAgent: treat a concurrent launchd bootstrap as a successful restart when the service is already loaded, avoiding false macOS Gateway restart failures. Fixes #84721. (#84722) Thanks @googlerest.</li>

-<li>CLI/update: start managed Gateway update handoff helpers from a stable existing directory and tolerate deleted cwd/package roots during macOS LaunchAgent handoff. Fixes #83808. (#83875) Thanks @jason-allen-oneal.</li>
-<li>Skills: watch each shared skill directory once across agent workspaces instead of once per agent, preventing file-descriptor exhaustion (<code>EMFILE</code>) that disposed bundle-mcp processes and stalled sessions on multi-agent gateways. Fixes #84968. (#85130) Thanks @openperf.</li>
-<li>Release/security: keep generated npm shrinkwrap package versions inside the pnpm lock graph so published package locks cannot bypass pnpm dependency age and override policy.</li>

-<li>Windows installer: extract the downloaded portable Node.js directory with native <code>tar</code> before falling back to .NET zip extraction, avoiding PowerShell 5.1 archive and path-length failures.</li>
-<li>fix(integrations): enforce channel read target allowlists [AI]. (#84982) Thanks @pgondhi987.</li>
-<li>Agents/heartbeat: route single-owner <code>session.dmScope=main</code> direct-message exec and cron event wakes back to the agent main session so async completions no longer strand context in orphan direct-DM queues. Fixes #71581. (#83743) Thanks @Kaspre.</li>
-<li>Agents/code-mode: expose outer code-mode <code>exec</code> source through the <code>command</code> hook alias with <code>toolKind</code>/<code>toolInputKind</code> discriminators so exec-shaped policies can distinguish code-mode cells. (#83483) Thanks @Kaspre.</li>

-<li>Gateway: mirror successful same-source message-tool sends into session transcripts so delivered replies stay in later history/context. (#84837) Thanks @iFiras-Max1.</li>
-<li>Media generation: keep image, music, and video completion delivery from duplicating or losing task ownership when generated media finishes through active session replies. (#84006) Thanks @fuller-stack-dev.</li>
-<li>Infra/json: retry transient <code>File changed during read</code> races while loading JSON state so config and state reads recover instead of failing the turn. (#84285)</li>
-<li>Plugins/providers: fail closed for workspace provider plugins during setup-mode discovery unless explicitly trusted, preventing untrusted workspace plugin code from running during provider setup. (#81069) Thanks @mmaps.</li>
-<li>Providers/Ollama: resolve configured Ollama Cloud <code>OLLAMA_API_KEY</code> markers to the real discovery key so cloud provider entries keep authenticated model catalog access. (#85037)</li>
-<li>Discord: keep persistent component registry fallback warnings actionable by forwarding structured error and cause metadata through the runtime logger. Fixes #84185. (#84190) Thanks @100menotu001.</li>
-<li>Gateway/sessions: preserve compatible session auth profile overrides when switching models within the same provider, including provider-auth aliases. Fixes #81837. (#81886) Thanks @TurboTheTurtle.</li>
-<li>Gateway/status: surface inbound delivery telemetry counters and transport-liveness warnings in <code>openclaw status --all</code>. Fixes #49577. (#72724)</li>
-<li>Docker: prune package-excluded plugin source workspaces and dependency closures so runtime images do not keep packages for plugins that were not opted in.</li>
-<li>Providers/Ollama: treat Docker/OrbStack host aliases as local Ollama endpoints so <code>ollama-local</code> marker auth works when OpenClaw runs inside a VM/container and Ollama runs on the host. Fixes #84875.</li>
-<li>QA-Lab: keep explicitly searchable/deferred OpenClaw dynamic tool rows report-only by default so tool-coverage gates do not treat mock discovery gaps as hard product failures. (#80319) Thanks @100yenadmin.</li>
-<li>Agents/config: keep non-Google provider model refs from being rewritten by Google Gemini preview-id normalization. (#84762) Thanks @zhangguiping-xydt.</li>
-<li>Installer: require a real controlling terminal before launching onboarding so headless <code>curl | bash</code> installs finish cleanly after installing the CLI.</li>
-<li>Agents/Codex: promote a completed final assistant response when a prompt timeout races Codex app-server completion instead of returning an empty timeout envelope. Refs #84516.</li>
-<li>Codex app-server: keep interrupted turn statuses from being treated as OpenClaw aborts by themselves, so tool-only turns remain eligible for no-visible-answer recovery. Fixes #84492.</li>
-<li>Agents: cap heartbeat model bleed context hints by the stored session window when runtime model metadata is unavailable, so overflow recovery advice does not suggest a larger window than the active session actually has.</li>
-<li>Control UI/Web Push: use <code>https://openclaw.ai</code> as the generated default VAPID subject instead of the old localhost mailbox so iOS PWA push setup uses an Apple-acceptable subject when <code>OPENCLAW_VAPID_SUBJECT</code> is unset. Fixes #83134. (#83317) Thanks @IWhatsskill.</li>
-<li>Control UI: distinguish inherited thinking-off settings from explicit Off selections so the thinking selector no longer shows two identical Off rows. (#85223) Thanks @amknight.</li>
-<li>Agents/Pi: keep embedded session transcript writes from tripping false takeover detection after packaged npm onboarding agent turns.</li>
-<li>Codex/TUI: surface Codex-native post-turn compaction failures instead of continuing uncompacted, and keep successful native compaction serialized before local idle/next-turn handling. Fixes #84305. (#85160) Thanks @joshavant.</li>
-<li>Memory/search: stop recall tracking from writing dreaming side-effect artifacts when <code>dreaming.enabled=false</code>, while preserving normal search results. Fixes #84436. (#84444) Thanks @NianJiuZst.</li>
-<li>Diffs: render viewer toolbar icons from a closed icon-name map instead of HTML strings, removing the toolbar icon XSS sink. (#83955) Thanks @tanshanshan.</li>
-<li>QA: keep <code>pnpm qa:e2e</code> self-check runs inside the private QA runtime envelope even when inherited shell env disables bundled plugins.</li>
-<li>fix(config): validate browser sandbox bind sources [AI]. (#84799) Thanks @pgondhi987.</li>
-<li>doctor: constrain legacy plugin cleanup paths [AI]. (#84801) Thanks @pgondhi987.</li>
-<li>Update/doctor: prune stale local bundled plugin install records that point at old compiled bundled output so current bundled plugin schemas win after upgrade. (#84863) Thanks @fuller-stack-dev.</li>
-<li>Providers/Ollama: preserve native Ollama tool-call IDs across assistant replay so Gemini over Ollama Cloud can keep its hidden function-call thought-signature handle.</li>
-<li>Discord: keep session recovery and <code>/stop</code> abort ownership on the source dispatch lane while bound ACP turns continue routing to their target session, so stalled pre-run work and late replies are cleared instead of leaking after stop. Fixes #84477. (#85100) Thanks @joshavant.</li>
-<li>Codex app-server: mark missing turn completion after observed execution as replay-unsafe and release the session so follow-up turns can run. Fixes #84076. (#85107) Thanks @joshavant.</li>
-<li>Codex app-server: give visible <code>message</code> dynamic tool sends a longer timeout budget so slow channel delivery can return its own result or error instead of hitting the 30-second Codex wrapper. (#85216) Thanks @amknight.</li>
-<li>Codex app-server: add a dedicated post-tool raw assistant completion idle timeout config so trusted heavy turns can wait longer after tool handoff without weakening final assistant release.</li>
-<li>Matrix: keep explicitly configured two-person rooms on the room route before stale <code>m.direct</code> or strict two-member DM fallback can bypass mention gating. Fixes #85017. (#85137) Thanks @joshavant.</li>
-<li>Agents/subagents: require explicit subagent allowlist targets to be configured agents so stale deleted-agent ids are omitted from <code>agents_list</code> and rejected by <code>sessions_spawn</code>. Fixes #84811. (#85154) Thanks @joshavant.</li>
-<li>PDF tool: time out idle remote PDF body reads after 120 seconds so stalled remote documents return an error instead of wedging the session. Fixes #68649. (#84768) Thanks @luoyanglang.</li>
-<li>Diagnostics/OpenTelemetry plugin: suppress handled OTLP exporter promise rejections so collector shutdowns no longer crash the Gateway. (#81085) Thanks @luoyanglang.</li>
-<li>Agents/exec: omit raw command text and env values from denied exec failure logs while keeping safe correlation metadata. Fixes #85049. (#85140) Thanks @joshavant.</li>
-<li>Media/audio: skip empty structured sherpa-onnx transcripts instead of treating the raw JSON payload as spoken text. (#84667) Thanks @TurboTheTurtle.</li>
-<li>Agents/exec: preserve inherited XDG base-directory environment values for subprocesses while still rejecting agent-supplied XDG overrides. Fixes #84854. (#85139) Thanks @joshavant.</li>
-<li>Node/Linux: keep <code>OPENCLAW_GATEWAY_TOKEN</code> out of generated systemd unit files by writing node service token values to a node-specific env file. (#84408)</li>
-<li>Memory-core/dreaming: reuse stable narrative subagent session keys per workspace and phase while keeping per-run idempotency and bounded cleanup, so stale <code>dreaming-narrative-*</code> sessions do not accumulate. Fixes #68252, #69187, and #70402. (#70464) Thanks @chiyouYCH.</li>
-<li>Trajectory/support: tolerate partial skill snapshot entries when building support metadata so rejected skill path scans no longer abort trajectory capture. (#71185) Thanks @lukeboyett.</li>
-<li>TUI: coalesce repeated idle Esc abort notices into a single <code>no active run xN</code> system row instead of appending duplicate rows.</li>
-<li>Telegram: honor <code>channels.telegram.pollingStallThresholdMs</code> in the default isolated polling path, restarting silent workers instead of leaving inbound updates wedged. Fixes #83950. (#84861) Thanks @joshavant.</li>
-<li>Telegram: dedupe replayed message dispatches by Telegram chat/message identity so isolated-ingress replays do not trigger duplicate model dispatches. Fixes #84886. (#85208) Thanks @joshavant.</li>
-<li>Slack: suppress reasoning payloads before reply delivery and dispatch accounting, so Slack monitor, slash-command, fallback, and direct reply paths do not leak model reasoning. Fixes #84319. (#84322) Thanks @ffluk3 and @joshavant.</li>
-<li>Slack: deliver native plugin approval prompts and updates when Slack native approvals are enabled, while keeping plugin approval authorization separate from exec approvers.</li>
-<li>Slack: keep native plugin approval prompts in the originating app conversation thread when the live Slack turn source is a <code>D...</code> conversation.</li>
-<li>Agents/Pi: disable the embedded pi-coding-agent runtime auto-retry so OpenClaw's own retry and failover loop does not replay failed tool calls through a nested SDK retry. Fixes #73781. (#74434) Thanks @yelog.</li>
-<li>CLI/perf: keep <code>setup --help</code>, <code>onboard --help</code>, and <code>configure --help</code> out of the full wizard runtime while preserving the existing help output. (#84488) Thanks @frankekn.</li>
-<li>CLI/perf: keep <code>agents --help</code> out of agents action/runtime imports so help, completion, and command discovery paths avoid loading the full agents runtime. (#84483) Thanks @frankekn.</li>
-<li>CLI/perf: keep <code>secrets --help</code> and <code>nodes --help</code> on the precomputed help path so parent help avoids loading action-heavy command runtime modules. (#84818) Thanks @frankekn.</li>
-<li>CLI/perf: serve <code>doctor</code>, <code>gateway</code>, <code>models</code>, and <code>plugins</code> parent help from startup metadata so common subcommand help avoids full CLI program construction. (#84786) Thanks @frankekn.</li>
-<li>Codex/Lossless: keep context-engine history on the canonical run session when Telegram DMs use per-peer runtime policy keys. Fixes #84936. (#84954) Thanks @neeravmakwana.</li>
-<li>Codex: keep heartbeat response tool schemas durable without exposing dynamic tools disabled by turn policy, so heartbeat wakeups can reuse threads while scoped tool allowlists stay enforced. (#84681) Thanks @jalehman.</li>
-<li>Auth/OAuth: skip the refresh adapter when a stored OAuth credential has no refresh token so agent turns fail fast on missing-key instead of waiting on the 120s refresh timeout. Thanks @romneyda.</li>
-<li>Auth/Codex: load legacy OAuth sidecar credentials in the embedded runner's secrets-runtime auth loaders so Telegram replies, cron-triggered turns, and other isolated sub-agent lanes can reach the existing #83312 refresh-and-rewrite migration instead of failing with <code>No API key found for provider "openai-codex"</code> until the user runs <code>openclaw doctor</code>. Thanks @Totalsolutionsync and @romneyda.</li>
-<li>Codex/failover: classify <code>deactivated_workspace</code> as a permanent auth failure so configured fallback models can advance when a Codex workspace is deactivated. (#55893) Thanks @litang9.</li>
-<li>Exec: keep configured <code>tools.exec.pathPrepend</code> entries ahead of user shell startup PATH changes on POSIX gateway runs. (#81403) Thanks @medns.</li>
-<li>Gateway/sessions: allow shared-secret bearer callers to read and stream session history without an explicit scope header. (#81815) Thanks @medns.</li>
-<li>Agents/embedded runner: classify HTML auth provider responses as <code>auth_html</code> and return a re-authentication hint instead of the CDN-blocked copy that <code>upstream_html</code> returns. Cloudflare Access login pages, nginx basic-auth challenges, and gateway login walls all produce HTML auth bodies that were previously misdiagnosed as transient CDN blocks. (#79900) Thanks @martingarramon.</li>
-<li>TUI/streaming watchdog: dismiss the <code>This response is taking longer than expected</code> notice as soon as a chat event for the same run arrives, so the message no longer sits next to the recovered response when the run was only briefly silent. Refs #67052, #69081 (closed), prior attempt #69026. Thanks @jpruit20 and @romneyda.</li>
-<li>Agents/Pi: tolerate OpenClaw-owned transcript writes while embedded prompts are released for model I/O, keeping long-running Feishu, Slack, Telegram, and cron turns from failing with false session-takeover errors. Fixes #84059. (#84250) Thanks @tianxiaochannel-oss88.</li>

-<h3>Changes</h3>
-<ul>
-<li>Exec approvals: remove the old <code>cat SKILL.md && printf ... && <skill-wrapper></code> allowlist compatibility path so skill files must be loaded with the read tool and only the real skill executable is auto-allowed.</li>
-<li>Discord: let voice sessions follow configured Discord users into voice channels, with allowed-channel checks, multi-user handoff, bounded reconciliation, and DAVE recovery preservation. (#84264) Thanks @fuller-stack-dev.</li>
-<li>Discord/voice: include bounded <code>IDENTITY.md</code>, <code>USER.md</code>, and <code>SOUL.md</code> profile context in realtime voice session instructions by default, with <code>voice.realtime.bootstrapContextFiles: []</code> available to disable it. (#84499) Thanks @fuller-stack-dev.</li>
-<li>Dependencies: bump the bundled Codex harness to <code>@openai/codex</code> <code>0.132.0</code> and refresh the app-server model-list docs for the new catalog.</li>
-<li>CLI/policy: add the bundled Policy plugin for policy-backed channel conformance checks, doctor lint findings, and opt-in workspace repair. (#80407) Thanks @giodl73-repo.</li>
-<li>Agents/config: allow <code>agents.list[].experimental.localModelLean</code> so lean local-model mode can be enabled for one configured agent instead of globally.</li>
-<li>Providers/xAI: add device-code OAuth login so remote and headless setups can authorize xAI without a localhost browser callback. (#84005) Thanks @fuller-stack-dev.</li>
-<li>Providers/OpenRouter: honor provider-level <code>params.provider</code> routing policy for OpenRouter requests, with model and agent params overriding the defaults. Thanks @amknight.</li>
-</ul>
-<h3>Fixes</h3>
-<ul>
-<li>CLI/tasks: include stale-running task maintenance decisions in <code>openclaw tasks maintenance --json</code> so retained and reconcile candidates explain backing-session, cron, CLI, and wedged-subagent state. (#84691) Thanks @efpiva.</li>
-<li>Codex app-server: keep system-prompt reports working when bootstrap hooks provide workspace files with only a path and content, so hook-supplied SOUL/IDENTITY/TOOLS/USER context still reports injected characters correctly. (#84736) Thanks @JARVIS-Glasses.</li>
-<li>Providers/MiniMax music: stop advertising <code>durationSeconds</code> control and remove prompt-injected duration hints, so <code>music_generate</code> reports MiniMax duration as an unsupported override instead of suggesting MiniMax can enforce track length. Fixes #84508. Thanks @neeravmakwana.</li>
-<li>Doctor: warn when sandbox tool policy hides configured MCP server tools before provider requests. (#84699) Thanks @nxmxbbd.</li>
-<li>WhatsApp: update Baileys to <code>7.0.0-rc12</code>.</li>
-<li>Build: suppress per-locale <code>rolldown-plugin-dts:fake-js</code> CommonJS dts warnings emitted while bundling the intentionally-inlined <code>zod/v4/locales/*.d.cts</code> files, so <code>pnpm build</code> output stays readable after the 0.25.1 plugin bump. Thanks @romneyda.</li>
-<li>CLI/nodes: route lazy plugin-registration logs to stderr for JSON-mode <code>openclaw nodes</code> commands so stdout stays parseable. (#84684) Thanks @TurboTheTurtle.</li>
-<li>Approvals: route manual <code>/approve</code> decisions through the trusted approval runtime so active exec and plugin approvals no longer look unknown or expired.</li>
-<li>Mac app: update the About settings copyright year to 2026. (#84385) Thanks @pejmanjohn.</li>
-<li>Dependencies: update <code>@openclaw/fs-safe</code> to <code>0.2.7</code> so OpenClaw's default Python-helper-off policy keeps best-effort Node write fallbacks for private stores, secret writes, run logs, and media attachments on Linux/macOS.</li>
-<li>Infra/secrets: restore the fail-closed contract for <code>tryReadSecretFileSync</code> so credential loaders that pass <code>rejectSymlink: true</code> (Telegram, LINE, Zalo, IRC, Nextcloud Talk tokens) refuse symlinked credential files instead of silently accepting them, and the infra-state CI shard's secret-file symlink test passes again. Thanks @romneyda.</li>
-<li>Browser: honor the configured image sanitization limit for screenshots and labeled snapshots so browser-captured images follow the same resize policy as other image results. (#84595)</li>
-<li>Doctor: remove unrecognized <code>models.providers.*.models[*].compat.thinkingFormat</code> values during <code>doctor --fix</code> so stale provider model config can validate after upgrade. Fixes #77803.</li>
-<li>Doctor: warn when <code>openclaw.json</code> stores plaintext secret-bearing config fields, including model provider API keys and sensitive provider headers. (#84718) Thanks @lukaIvanic.</li>
-<li>Status: show the configured default, session-selected model, reason, clear hint, and docs link when a session remains pinned to a model that differs from <code>agents.defaults.model.primary</code>.</li>
-<li>WebChat: clear stale typing indicators when session change events mark the active chat run complete.</li>
-<li>Mac app: keep local packaging signed with a stable app identity for permission testing and fix Control UI production builds under current Vite/Highlight.js exports.</li>
-<li>macOS app: update the embedded Peekaboo bridge to 3.2.1 so OpenClaw-hosted UI automation works with current Peekaboo CLI capture flows.</li>
-<li>Cron: deliver preferred final assistant output for successful scheduled runs when trailing plain tool warnings remain in diagnostics instead of marking the run failed.</li>
-<li>fix(mattermost): fail closed on missing channel type [AI]. (#84091) Thanks @pgondhi987.</li>
-<li>Recheck rebuilt system.run argv [AI]. (#84090) Thanks @pgondhi987.</li>
-<li>CLI: keep the private QA subcommand out of exported command descriptors unless <code>OPENCLAW_ENABLE_PRIVATE_QA_CLI=1</code>, so root help and subcommand markers match runtime registration. (#84519)</li>
-<li>CLI/cron: bound <code>openclaw cron show</code> job lookup pagination so non-advancing or unbounded <code>cron.list</code> responses fail instead of hanging the command. Fixes #83856. (#83989)</li>
-<li>Agents/messages: stop message-tool-only turns after a successful source-channel <code>message</code> send while keeping transcript mirrors under the session write lock. (#84289)</li>
-<li>Agents: filter silent heartbeat response-tool transcript artifacts out of embedded context snapshots so later user turns are not polluted by heartbeat no-op messages. (#83477) Thanks @fuller-stack-dev.</li>
-<li>Agents/OpenAI: log repeated strict tool-schema downgrade diagnostics once per provider/model/tool signature, reducing duplicate debug noise while preserving <code>strict=false</code> fallback behavior. Fixes #82930. (#82933) Thanks @galiniliev.</li>
-<li>Agents/code mode: spell out the <code>exec</code> tool's JavaScript/TypeScript, no Node module, and catalog-bridge constraints in model-visible schema text so agents can use enabled tools without trial-and-error. (#84269) Thanks @Kaspre.</li>
-<li>Codex: give <code>image_generate</code> dynamic-tool calls a 120s default watchdog when no per-call or configured image timeout is set, so image generation no longer falls back to the generic 30s bridge timeout. (#84254) Thanks @moritzmmayerhofer.</li>
-<li>Codex: avoid duplicate dynamic tool terminal diagnostics while large diagnostic backlogs drain without blocking tool responses. (#82937) Thanks @galiniliev.</li>
-<li>CLI/message: include a stable top-level <code>messageId</code> in <code>openclaw message --json</code> output when channel sends return one. (#84191) Thanks @100menotu001.</li>
-<li>Cron: preserve legacy top-level array <code>jobs.json</code> stores when loading or adding scheduled jobs so old cron jobs are no longer treated as an empty store during upgrade. Fixes #60799. (#84433) Thanks @IWhatsskill.</li>
-<li>Gateway/agents: use an agent's <code>identity.name</code> in Gateway agent summaries when <code>agents.list[].name</code> is unset, so configured agent labels remain visible in clients. (#84355; refs #57835) Thanks @luoyanglang.</li>
-<li>Channels/replies: keep normal <code>/verbose</code> failed-tool progress compact in message-tool replies and prevent late text-only tool output from appearing after the final answer. (#84303) Thanks @VACInc.</li>
-<li>Plugins/hooks: apply a default 30-second timeout to <code>before_compaction</code> and <code>after_compaction</code> hooks so a hung plugin handler no longer blocks compaction completion. (#84153)</li>
-<li>Discord: preserve disabled presentation buttons when adapting and rendering Discord message controls. (#84188) Thanks @100menotu001.</li>
-<li>Twitch: add a test-only client-manager registry reset helper so non-isolated Twitch tests can clear cached managers between cases. Fixes #83887. (#84244) Thanks @hclsys.</li>
-<li>Cron: run main-session scheduled work on a cron-owned wake lane while preserving reply delivery context, so background cron turns no longer block human main-session chat. Fixes #82766. (#82767) Thanks @galiniliev.</li>
-<li>Cron: use structured embedded-run denial metadata for isolated scheduled tasks so blocked exec requests fail the job without treating ordinary assistant prose as a denial. (#84067) Thanks @abnershang.</li>
-<li>Cron: keep recovered tool warnings diagnostic for successful scheduled runs so final cron output is delivered instead of being replaced by a post-processing warning. (#84045) Thanks @abnershang.</li>
-<li>Plugins/perf: thread explicit plugin discovery results through <code>loadBundledCapabilityRuntimeRegistry</code>, <code>resolveBundledPluginSources</code>, and <code>listChannelCatalogEntries</code> so callers that already hold a discovery result skip redundant filesystem walks. Thanks @SebTardif.</li>
-<li>harden update restart script creation [AI]. (#84088) Thanks @pgondhi987.</li>
-<li>Docker: keep the bundled Codex plugin in official release image keep lists so the default OpenAI agent harness remains available after Docker pruning. Fixes #83613. (#83626) Thanks @YuanHanzhong.</li>
-<li>CLI/channels: preserve the first line of <code>openclaw channels logs</code> output when the rolling tail window starts exactly on a line boundary, mirroring the already-fixed <code>readLogSlice</code> behavior in <code>src/logging/log-tail.ts</code>.</li>
-<li>Control UI: treat terminal session status as authoritative over stale active-run flags so completed terminal runs stop showing abort/live UI. (#84057)</li>
-<li>CLI: preserve embedded equals signs in inline root option values instead of truncating after the second separator. (#83995) Thanks @ThiagoCAltoe.</li>
-<li>Matrix/config: accept <code>messages.queue.byChannel.matrix</code> queue overrides and keep queue provider schema/type keys aligned for Matrix, Google Chat, and Mattermost. Thanks @bdjben.</li>
-<li>CLI: format <code>openclaw acp client</code> failures through the shared error formatter so object-shaped errors stay readable instead of printing <code>[object Object]</code>. Fixes #83904. (#84080)</li>
-<li>Providers/Ollama: default unknown-capabilities models to tool-capable so discovered native Ollama models can use tools when <code>/api/show</code> omits capabilities. (#84055) Thanks @dutifulbob.</li>
-<li>Installer/Windows: launch <code>install.ps1</code> onboarding as an attached child process so fresh native Windows installs do not freeze visibly at <code>Starting setup...</code> or corrupt the wizard's terminal rendering.</li>
-<li>CLI/update: keep restart health checks working across one-version CLI/Gateway protocol skew and use the managed Gateway service Node for all follow-up commands even when the package root is unchanged, so <code>openclaw update</code> no longer silently switches the gateway to a different Node binary when multiple Node installations are present. Thanks @amknight.</li>
-<li>CLI/gateway: include the running Gateway version in <code>gateway status</code> JSON output, preserving existing server metadata while falling back to status RPC data for read probes. Fixes #56222. Thanks @galiniliev.</li>
-<li>Memory/search: close local embedding providers when active-memory searches time out so pending local model loads and embedding contexts are aborted and released. (#83858) Thanks @brokemac79.</li>
-<li>CLI/nodes: request pending node surface approval scopes before <code>openclaw nodes approve</code> so exec-capable node approval can use admin-scoped Gateway credentials instead of failing with <code>missing scope: operator.admin</code>. (#84392) Thanks @joshavant.</li>
-<li>Gateway: reject slow node event sends before outbound buffers grow unbounded and log the rejected payload diagnostic. (#84387) Thanks @samzong.</li>
-<li>Agents: include bounded trajectory queued-writer diagnostics in <code>pi-trajectory-flush</code> timeout warnings so flush stalls show pending writes, queued bytes, and append state. Fixes #82961. (#82962) Thanks @galiniliev.</li>
-<li>Agents/subagents: recover stale completion announces by retrying unsupported transcript-wait wakes without transcript waiting and forcing a message-tool handoff when the requester run is already stale. Fixes #83699. (#83700) Thanks @galiniliev.</li>
-<li>Agents/subagents: constrain wildcard subagent target allowlists to configured agents while preserving explicitly listed compatibility targets. Fixes #84040. (#84357) Thanks @joshavant.</li>
-<li>Providers/Anthropic: route Anthropic model refs selected with Claude CLI auth through the Claude CLI runtime so shorthand refs such as <code>anthropic/opus-4.7</code> no longer fall back to embedded Anthropic billing. Fixes #84222. (#84374) Thanks @joshavant.</li>
-<li>Agents: honor explicit <code>models.providers.<id>.timeoutSeconds</code> values above the default idle watchdog for cloud and self-hosted providers, so long first-token waits no longer fall back at ~120s when the provider timeout is higher. (#83979) Thanks @yujiawei.</li>
-<li>Agents/Codex: keep encrypted Responses reasoning replay provenance-bound so stale mirrored Codex transcripts drop invalid encrypted content before request assembly while preserving matching same-session replay. Fixes #83836. (#84367) Thanks @joshavant.</li>
-<li>Agents/subagents: skip stale embedded-run wake probes for dormant completion requesters, so late subagent completions go straight to requester-agent/direct handoff instead of producing <code>reason=no_active_run</code> queue noise. (#82964) Thanks @galiniliev.</li>
-<li>CLI: retry config snapshot reads after a transient failure so one rejected read no longer poisons later commands in the same process. (#83931) Thanks @honor2030.</li>
-<li>Media: decode URL path basenames before using them as remote media fallback filenames, so files like <code>My%20Report.pdf</code> are surfaced as <code>My Report.pdf</code>. Fixes #84050. (#84052) Thanks @jbetala7.</li>
-<li>WhatsApp: clarify inbound group diagnostics so observed but unregistered groups point to <code>channels.whatsapp.groups</code> without changing routing or sender authorization. (#83846) Thanks @neeravmakwana.</li>
-<li>WhatsApp: drain pending outbound deliveries on a 30s periodic timer in addition to the reconnect handler, so messages enqueued while the provider is already connected no longer wait for the next reconnect to send. (#79083) Thanks @Oviemudiaga.</li>
-<li>CLI/TUI: include gateway plugin slash commands in TUI autocomplete, so connected sessions can suggest plugin-owned commands exposed by the running Gateway. (#83640) Thanks @se7en-agent.</li>
-<li>Gateway/mobile: restore QR setup-code handoff of bounded operator tokens for iOS and Android onboarding while keeping admin and pairing scopes out of bootstrap. (#83684) Thanks @ngutman.</li>
-<li>iOS: repair Release archive compilation for the TestFlight build. (#84255) Thanks @ngutman.</li>
-<li>Agents/compaction: bound plugin-owned CLI transcript compaction with the host safety timeout so a hung context engine can no longer stall post-turn cleanup. (#84083) Thanks @100yenadmin.</li>
-<li>Control UI/usage: truncate long context skill, tool, and file names in the usage panel while keeping the full name available on hover. (#42197) Thanks @Rain120.</li>
-<li>Codex: respect explicit <code>models auth order set</code> and <code>config.auth.order</code> precedence over stale <code>lastGood</code> in <code>/codex account</code>, and show <code>no working credential</code> when every explicit-order profile is ineligible instead of marking a lower-ranked profile as active. Fixes #84386. (#84412) Thanks @openperf.</li>
-<li>Agents: honor <code>messages.suppressToolErrors</code> for mutating tool failures so configured chat surfaces do not receive separate warning payloads. (#81561) Thanks @moeedahmed.</li>
-<li>Agents/fallback: surface billing guidance for mixed rate-limit plus billing fallback exhaustion instead of generic failure copy. Fixes #79396. (#79489) Thanks @aayushprsingh.</li>
