fix: route media understanding through codex auth

 - Read dependency docs/source/types when the finding depends on external behavior.
 - Reject unrealistic edge cases, speculative risks, broad rewrites, and fixes that over-complicate the codebase.
 - Prefer small fixes at the right ownership boundary; no refactor unless it clearly improves the bug class.
-- When an accepted finding shows a bug class or repeated pattern, inspect the current PR scope for sibling instances before fixing.
-- Fix the scoped bug class at once when practical; stop at touched surfaces, owner boundaries, and clear follow-up territory.
 - Keep going until structured review returns no accepted/actionable findings.
 - If a review-triggered fix changes code, rerun focused tests and rerun the structured review helper.
 - For security-audit suppression changes, verify accepted findings remain auditable: suppressed findings stay in structured output, active output keeps an unsuppressible suppression notice, and aggregate findings cannot hide unrelated active risk.

 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.

-  `~/Library/Application Support/discrawl/discrawl.db` on macOS
-- Config: platform-native XDG config dir, with legacy fallback to

-- 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
-

+Use local Discord archive data before live Discord APIs. Check freshness for recent/current questions:

 ```
 
-Desktop-local refresh:
+Refresh only when stale or asked:
 
 ```bash
 discrawl sync --source wiretap
-```
-
-Bot API latest refresh, when credentials are available:
-
-```bash
 discrawl sync
 ```
 
-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:
+Query with bounded slices:
 
 ```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;"
 ```
 
-## SQL
+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.
 
-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.
+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.

 - Review the surrounding code path, not just changed lines. Open the caller, callee, data contracts, adjacent tests, and owner module.
-- 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.
 - For large-codebase PRs, sample enough related files to understand the runtime boundary before deciding. Default to more code reading when the change touches agents, gateway, plugins, auth, sessions, process, config, or provider/runtime seams.
 - Compare the PR against current `origin/main` behavior. Check whether recent main already changed the same surface.
 - 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.

-4. Read sibling surfaces that should share the invariant or could be broken by a one-sided fix.
-5. Compare against current `origin/main` and shipped behavior when regression/compat matters.
-6. Inspect upstream dependency/Codex source or docs for dependency-backed behavior.
-7. Identify at least one alternative fix location or shape, then reject it with evidence.

----
-
-# OpenClaw Release Announcement
-
-Use with `release-openclaw-maintainer` after a beta or stable release is live.
-Use with `openclaw-discord` when actually posting to Discord.
-
-## Evidence First
-
-Before drafting focus areas, read real release evidence:
-
-1. Current GitHub release body for the tag.
-2. `CHANGELOG.md` section for the released base version.
-3. Commits since the previous shipped version or the operator-specified base.
-4. Registry/package metadata for the exact version and current dist-tag.
-5. Validation status that is relevant to user confidence.
-
-Do not claim a full changelog audit unless you did it. If you only read the
-generated release notes or top changelog section, say that and either audit
-properly or draft with that limitation.
-
-For beta focus areas, prioritize user-observable changes over internal test or
-CI mechanics:
-
-- install/update paths
-- OS/platform-specific behavior
-- Gateway startup/restart, config, and runtime behavior
-- provider/model/runtime routing
-- plugin loading and local plugin development
-- channels and media paths
-- security/data-loss/user-impact fixes
-
-Do not let late release-branch fixes automatically dominate the announcement.
-If the version includes a large delta from the previous shipped version, rank
-focus areas by the whole release delta and expected user impact; mention late
-fixes in their natural category.
-
-## Required Copy
-
-Every beta announcement must make beta status explicit and include:
-
-- exact version, e.g. `OpenClaw 2026.5.25-beta.1`
-- one-sentence risk framing: beta, useful for testing, not stable promotion
-- focused test areas derived from evidence, not guesswork
-- update command promoted near the top:
-  ```sh
-  openclaw update --channel beta --yes
-  openclaw --version
-  ```
-- fresh install path:
-  `Install from https://openclaw.ai`
-- GitHub release link
-- concise validation note, without making CI the headline
-
-Do not suggest npm install commands in beta announcements unless the operator
-explicitly asks for npm-specific copy or troubleshooting text. It is fine to use
-registry metadata as evidence; do not turn that into public install guidance.
-
-For stable announcements, use the stable channel wording:
-
-```sh
-openclaw update --channel stable --yes
-openclaw --version
-```
-
-Fresh installs still point to `https://openclaw.ai`.
-
-## Style
-
-- Discord Markdown, no tables.
-- Keep it skimmable: short intro, bullets, commands, links.
-- Lead with what users can feel or test, not proof plumbing.
-- Mention validation only after install/update instructions.
-- Be specific about where feedback is useful.
-- Do not mention private local proof paths in public announcements.
-- Do not overstate unverified platforms, channels, or provider behavior.
-
-## Posting
-
-When asked to post, use the configured Discord workflow from
-`openclaw-discord` or the approved OpenClaw relay. Never print tokens.
-For public channels, inspect the final body before sending.

-# 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.

-- Reviews/answers: high confidence required. Default to exhaustive relevant codebase search/read, including owners, callers, siblings, tests, docs, and upstream/dependency contracts before verdict. Diff-only review is insufficient.
-- Review default: read the whole changed function/module plus callers, callees, sibling implementations, adjacent tests, scoped docs, and dependency/Codex contracts before saying `good`, `bad`, `best fix`, `proof sufficient`, or posting a comment. 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.

 - Channels are implementation under `src/channels/**`; plugin authors get SDK seams. Providers own auth/catalog/runtime hooks; core owns generic loop.

 - 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.

 - Maintainer decision closes the cluster: if deciding reported behavior/proposed fix is not planned, comment+close all directly associated open issues/PRs unless explicitly told to keep one open. 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.
-- Issue/PR work: search strong related issues/PRs before final; close proven dupes/fixed siblings. If none close, suggest one next related follow-up.
-- PR superseded by `main`: if code proof shows `main` already has same-or-better behavior, comment canonical commit/PR + focused proof, then close. Bar high: inspect PR diff, current code/tests, linked issue, caller/sibling path. If unsure, leave open.
-- Issue/PR numbers need a short summary every time; assume the reader has not opened or read them.

-- Release/CI/E2E: bound Discord smoke API calls in cross-OS release checks so host-side round trips cannot hang on stalled fetches.

-- Talk: preserve explicit `null` payloads on controller-created turn and output-audio lifecycle events.
-- Agents/TUI: keep local custom provider runs from loading plugin runtime and auth alias metadata when plugins are disabled.
-- 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.
-- Agents/Codex: stream Codex app-server final-answer partials to live reply previews, preserve ACP metadata in SQLite, prefer real tool results over synthetic repair output, prevent aborted app-server turn handles from lingering, migrate legacy OpenAI Codex `lastGood` auth state, and preserve workspace/session metadata through ACP runtime refactors.

-- Skill Workshop: render the Control UI tab from filtered navigation state and keep filtered fallback routing stable.
-- 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.
-- Plugins: clarify plugin loader failure guidance so missing or incompatible plugin packages point operators at the right repair path.
-- Plugins: preserve npm plugin roots after blocked installs, skip plugin-local `openclaw` peer symlinks during rollback snapshots, relink those peers after restore, isolate cached tool runtime siblings, and isolate web-provider factory failures so one bad plugin does not poison sibling runtime paths. (#77237, #88807)
-- Cron: keep SQLite cron migrations compatible with legacy run-log tables, archived job stores, diagnostic cron names, and legacy one-shot delete-after-run behavior. (#88285)
-- Cron: keep update delivery validation scoped, harden restart state, and retire MCP runtimes on isolated cron cleanup.
-- Memory: serialize QMD update/embed writes per store, preserve phase signals on read errors, harden envelope metadata sanitization, and rewrite generated transcript paths on rollover so memory/search state survives concurrent gateway and CLI activity.

-- Cron: retry recurring jobs after transient model rate limits before waiting for the next scheduled slot.
-- Agents/Codex: keep live session locks during cleanup, recover interrupted CLI tool transcripts, preserve Codex auth and compaction session identity, clear orphan tool state, cap app-server idle timers, and keep media completion delivery retryable. (#88129, #88136, #88141, #88162, #88182)

-- 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.

-### Highlights
-
-- Agent and Codex runtime recovery is steadier: subagents keep cwd/workspace separation, hook context stays prompt-local, session locks release on timeout abort while live OpenClaw locks survive cleanup, stale restart continuations are avoided, and Codex app-server/helper failures no longer tear down shared runtime state. (#87218, #86875, #87409, #87399, #87375, #88129)
-- Channel delivery and session identity got safer across outbound plugin hooks, Matrix room ids, iMessage reactions/approvals, Slack final replies, Discord recovered tool warnings, runtime-config message actions, WhatsApp profile auth roots, Telegram polling, and Microsoft Teams service URL trust checks. (#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. (#87845, #87890, #80775, #84764, #87751, #87794)
-- CLI, auth, doctor, and provider paths fail faster and recover more clearly: malformed numeric/version options are rejected, workspace dotenv provider credentials are ignored, heartbeat defaults, OAuth/token lifetimes, and local service startup requests are bounded, agent auth health labels are clearer, legacy `api_key` auth profiles migrate to canonical form, and restart guidance is actionable. (#87398, #86281, #87361, #88133, #83655, #87559, #88088, #85924) Thanks @vincentkoc and @giodl73-repo.
-- 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.

(#82203, #86934, #87025) Thanks @martingarramon, @vincentkoc, and @joshavant.
-- Agents/sessions: handle active-fallback failures in `sessions_send` so fallback routing reports the real failure and does not leave callers with an ambiguous dropped send. (#86638)
 - Agents/hooks/subagents: enforce default hook agent allowlists, recover failed subagent lifecycle completions, and keep node task lifecycle cleanup from closing the Gateway listener. (#86101)
 - Codex: project newer OpenClaw chat history into resumed app-server threads and keep Codex turn timeouts inside the Codex runtime boundary so timeouts do not poison shared app-server clients or fall through to unrelated provider fallback. (#86677, #86476) Thanks @TurboTheTurtle and @pashpashpash.
 - Config/doctor/update: narrow profiled tool-section doctor repair, keep runtime-injected legacy web-search provider config out of user-authored config validation, and keep prerelease tags excluded from stable updater resolution. (#87030, #86818, #86559) Thanks @joshavant, @luoyanglang, and @stevenepalmer.
-- Doctor/runtime: validate active bundled MCP tool schemas through the same runtime projection path so unsupported MCP input schemas are reported and quarantined instead of poisoning assistant startup.
 - CLI/Windows: add a Windows-only stack-size respawn for stack-heavy startup paths, default CLI logs to local timestamps, and validate timeout/banner TTY state more strictly. (#87031, #85387) Thanks @giodl73-repo and @vincentkoc.
 - Locking/security: require owner identity proof before stale plugin lock removal, memoize session lock owner arguments, and avoid writing default exec approval stores unless policy state actually changed. (#86814, #86964) Thanks @Alix-007 and @vincentkoc.
 - Install/release: bound Docker package build, inventory, pack, and tarball preparation with process-group timeouts; pin shrinkwrap patch drift to the pnpm lock; harden macOS restart and dSYM packaging; and run release Docker/live timeout wrappers in the foreground so child processes cannot wedge gates.
-- QA/Telegram: bound Telegram user credential tar and broker calls so live proof setup fails with a timeout instead of waiting for the outer Crabbox job deadline.
-- QA/Tool Search: bound gateway E2E HTTP probes, run only the fixture plugin, and clean up temporary fixture trees after the compact tool-catalog proof completes.
 - Telegram/network: treat `ENETDOWN` as a transient pre-connect network failure so Telegram sends, gateway unhandled-rejection handling, and cron network retries follow the same recovery path as sibling network outages. (#86762) Thanks @TurboTheTurtle.
 - Telegram: preserve inbound text entities, overlapping DM replies, account topic cache sidecars, outbound reply context, targeted bot-command mentions, durable group retry targets, forum topic names, and native progress callbacks. (#83873, #85361, #85555, #85656, #85709, #86299, #86553) Thanks @SebTardif, @luoyanglang, and @neeravmakwana.
 - iMessage: read image attachments from local Messages attachment roots, dedupe duplicate local Messages-source accounts, seed direct DM history, fix image/group media attachment commands, advance catchup cursors after live handling, and keep slash-command acknowledgements in the source conversation. (#82642, #85475, #86569, #86705, #86706, #86770) Thanks @homer-byte, @TurboTheTurtle, @swang430, and @OmarShahine.

(#85378, #85542, #85891, #85909, #86408)
 - Agents/runtime: enforce session lock max-hold reclaim, release embedded-attempt locks on all exits, treat aborted subagent runs as terminal, avoid runtime model hydration on hot paths, disclose scoped session list counts, derive overflow budgets from provider errors, and keep fallback errors scoped to the active model candidate. (#70473, #85764, #86014, #86134, #86427, #86944) Thanks @openperf, @fuller-stack-dev, @zhangguiping-xydt, and @ferminquant.

 ### Fixes
 
-- Agents: validate a forced plugin harness against the candidate provider/model before pinning it, so unsupported fallback-chain candidates fail with a clear harness error instead of producing a late `Model provider X not found` from the underlying harness. Codex harness `supports()` now also accepts the canonical `openai` and `openai-codex` routing ids so documented Codex configs keep working. Thanks @cathrynlavery.
 - Control UI/WebChat: keep selected external-channel sessions live by mirroring Codex prompts at turn start, streaming hidden runs only to exact selected-session subscribers, and deduplicating accumulated stream snapshots around tool cards. Fixes #83528, #82611, refs #83949. Thanks @BunsDev.
 - CLI/tasks: include stale-running task maintenance decisions in `openclaw tasks maintenance --json` so retained and reconcile candidates explain backing-session, cron, CLI, and wedged-subagent state. (#84691) Thanks @efpiva.
 - 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.
@@ -2099,7 +1844,6 @@ Docs: https://docs.openclaw.ai
 - Agents/read tool: treat positive offsets beyond EOF as empty ranges instead of surfacing the upstream read error, so stale pagination cursors no longer crash tool calls while unrelated read failures still fail loud. Fixes #62466. (#75536) Thanks @vyctorbrzezowski.
 - Google/Gemini: normalize retired Gemini 3 Pro Preview refs left in Google API-key onboarding model allowlists and fallbacks, so setup-emitted config keeps testing `google/gemini-3.1-pro-preview` instead of `google/gemini-3-pro-preview`.
 - Telegram/context: bound selected topic context to the active session so messages from before `/new` or `/reset` are not replayed into later turns. (#80848) Thanks @VACInc.
-- Docs/providers/openai: clarify that OpenAI Realtime voice goes through the OpenAI Platform Realtime API and requires Platform credits — Codex/ChatGPT subscription quota does not cover this route. Fixes #76498. Thanks @lonexreb.

 - CLI: strip generic OSC terminal escape payloads from sanitized output fields, preventing clipboard/title escape bodies from leaking into commitment tables and other terminal-safe text. Thanks @shakkernerd.

-            <description><![CDATA[<h2>OpenClaw 2026.5.28</h2>
-<h3>Highlights</h3>
-<ul>
-<li>Agent and Codex runtime recovery is steadier: subagents keep cwd/workspace separation, hook context stays prompt-local, session locks release on timeout abort while live OpenClaw locks survive cleanup, stale restart continuations are avoided, and Codex app-server/helper failures no longer tear down shared runtime state. (#87218, #86875, #87409, #87399, #87375, #88129)</li>
-<li>Channel delivery and session identity got safer across outbound plugin hooks, Matrix room ids, iMessage reactions/approvals, Slack final replies, Discord recovered tool warnings, runtime-config message actions, WhatsApp profile auth roots, Telegram polling, and Microsoft Teams service URL trust checks. (#73706, #75670, #87366, #87451, #87334, #84535, #82492, #83304, #87160)</li>
-<li>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.</li>
-<li>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)</li>
-<li>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. (#87845, #87890, #80775, #84764, #87751, #87794)</li>
-<li>CLI, auth, doctor, and provider paths fail faster and recover more clearly: malformed numeric/version options are rejected, workspace dotenv provider credentials are ignored, heartbeat defaults, OAuth/token lifetimes, and local service startup requests are bounded, agent auth health labels are clearer, legacy <code>api_key</code> auth profiles migrate to canonical form, and restart guidance is actionable. (#87398, #86281, #87361, #88133, #83655, #87559, #88088, #85924) Thanks @vincentkoc and @giodl73-repo.</li>
-<li>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)</li>
-<li>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.</li>
-</ul>

-<li>Plugin SDK: add a reply payload sending hook for plugins that need to deliver channel-owned replies and flatten package types for SDK declarations. (#82823, #87165) Thanks @RomneyDa.</li>
-<li>Policy: add policy comparison, ingress-channel conformance, and sandbox-posture conformance checks. (#85572, #85744, #86768)</li>
+<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>Docs: clarify README onboarding and Gateway startup paths, WhatsApp QR/408 recovery, cron output language prompts, skill advanced features, gateway upstream 403 troubleshooting, and plugin fallback override guidance. Thanks @deepujain, @Zacxxx, @Jah-yee, @neyric, @usimic, @Renu-Cybe, @BigUncle, and @SeashoreShi.</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>Plugin SDK: add a generic channel-message poll sender so channel plugins can expose poll delivery without depending on channel-specific SDK facades.</li>

+<li>Plugin SDK: add row-level session workflow helpers and deprecate <code>loadSessionStore</code> so plugins can read and patch sessions without depending on the legacy whole-store shape. (#84693) Thanks @efpiva.</li>
+<li>Gateway/plugins: reuse a compatible Gateway startup plugin registry during dispatch so safe plugin dispatches avoid redundant registry loading. (#84324) Thanks @ai-hpc.</li>
+<li>Plugins/SDK: add a general <code>embeddingProviders</code> capability contract and registration API so embeddings can become a reusable provider surface outside memory-specific adapters.</li>
+<li>Dependencies: refresh provider, plugin, UI, and tooling packages, update <code>protobufjs</code> to 8.4.0 to clear the current npm advisory, and carry the Claude ACP completion patch forward to <code>@agentclientprotocol/claude-agent-acp</code> 0.36.1.</li>
+<li>Agents/tools: remove the old sender-owner tool gating path so configured tools stay visible for trusted sessions while command and channel-action auth still carry real sender identity.</li>
+<li>QA-Lab: add curated mock JSONL replay fixtures and first-drift reporting for runtime-parity audits. (#80323, refs #80176) Thanks @100yenadmin.</li>
+<li>QA-Lab: add a QA bus tool-trace visibility scenario for sanitized tool-call assertions.</li>
+<li>QA-Lab: replace generic evidence framing in seeded scenario prompts with concrete observed QA behavior.</li>
+<li>QA-Lab: list named scenario packs in the coverage report so personal-agent privacy coverage stays visible in audits.</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: include an opt-in <code>update.run</code> package self-upgrade sentinel for destructive latest-package recovery checks.</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>

+<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>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>OpenAI video: send uploaded video edit requests to the documented <code>/videos/edits</code> endpoint with a <code>video</code> file instead of posting MP4 references to <code>/videos</code>. Thanks @shakkernerd.</li>
+<li>Agents/channels: preserve message-tool delivery evidence through gateway agent completion handoffs so successful generated media sends are not followed by false failure messages. Thanks @shakkernerd.</li>
+<li>CLI/update: repair managed npm plugin <code>openclaw</code> peer links during post-core convergence and reject stale or wrong-target peer links before restart. (#83794) Thanks @fuller-stack-dev.</li>
+<li>CLI/agents: default new omitted-account bindings to all accounts when the channel has multiple configured accounts, and clarify account-scope docs. (#49769) Thanks @Gcaufy.</li>
+<li>Codex app-server: let authorized <code>/codex</code> control commands such as <code>/codex detach</code> escape plugin-owned conversation bindings while keeping unknown or unauthorized slash text routed to the bound plugin. Fixes #85157. (#85188) Thanks @TurboTheTurtle.</li>
+<li>Auto-reply/models: keep <code>/models</code> browse replies fast by sharing the bounded read-only catalog path with Gateway model listing. (#84735) Thanks @safrano9999.</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>Gateway/agents: return phase-aware <code>agent.wait</code> timeout attribution and only cool auth profiles on provider-started timeouts. Refs #65504. Thanks @100yenadmin.</li>
+<li>Gateway: defer provider auth-state prewarm until after startup readiness so early gateway tool/session requests are not blocked by provider auth discovery. (#85272) Thanks @dutifulbob.</li>
+<li>Gateway/models: coalesce provider auth-state rewarms after auth-profile failures and log event-loop delay for warm/rewarm work, so provider auth bursts no longer stack full auth sweeps behind channel replies.</li>
+<li>Gateway/models: stop cancelled provider auth-state prewarms from continuing full provider sweeps, so reload and auth-failure bursts no longer keep startup busy.</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>Gateway/service: include the active <code>openclaw</code> command bin directory in managed service PATH generation and doctor audit expectations for npm-global macOS installs. Fixes #84201. (#84475) Thanks @jbetala7.</li>
+<li>Control UI/chat: disable the thinking selector for known non-reasoning models instead of showing duplicate Off choices. Fixes #84069. Thanks @DrippingMellow.</li>
+<li>Memory: expand <code>~</code> in configured extra memory paths before resolving them, so home-relative folders are not treated as workspace-relative. Fixes #58026. Thanks @stadman.</li>
+<li>Skills: treat <code>openclaw.os: macos</code> as Darwin when checking skill requirements, so macOS-only skills no longer report as missing on macOS hosts. Fixes #61338. Thanks @Jessecq1995.</li>
+<li>Control UI/logs: strip ANSI escape sequences from displayed Gateway log messages so color codes no longer appear as raw text. Fixes #64399. Thanks @guguangxin-eng.</li>
+<li>Docker: pre-create the workspace and auth-profile config mount points with <code>node</code> ownership so first-run named volumes do not start root-owned. Fixes #85076. Thanks @Noerr.</li>
+<li>Telegram: pass configured markdown table mode through outbound markdown chunking so chunked sends render tables consistently. Fixes #85085. Thanks @ShuaiHui.</li>
+<li>CLI/update: preserve managed Gateway service environment during package cutovers so macOS LaunchAgent repair/restart reads the pre-update service state instead of caller shell state. (#83026)</li>
+<li>Agents/providers: honor per-model <code>api</code> and <code>baseUrl</code> overrides in custom provider auth hooks and transport selection. Fixes #80487. (#80488) Thanks @huveewomg.</li>
+<li>Gateway/restart: eager-load the lifecycle runtime before in-place upgrade signal handling so package replacement does not deadlock restart imports. (#84890) Thanks @myps6415.</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>Cron: honor <code>cron.retry.retryOn: ["network"]</code> for common network error codes such as <code>EAI_AGAIN</code>, <code>EHOSTUNREACH</code>, and <code>ENETUNREACH</code>.</li>
+<li>Gateway chat: broadcast returned agent-run error payloads after an agent starts so ACP/WebChat clients receive terminal idle-timeout errors. Fixes #84945.</li>
+<li>Gateway chat display: preserve OpenAI-compatible <code>prompt_tokens</code>, <code>completion_tokens</code>, and <code>total_tokens</code> usage fields in sanitized chat history so llama.cpp sessions keep context counts. Fixes #77992. Thanks @MarTT79.</li>
+<li>Dashboard/CLI: allow macOS browser launching through <code>open</code> even when SSH environment variables are present, while preserving Linux SSH no-display protection. Fixes #67088. Thanks @theglove44.</li>
+<li>Codex app-server: keep native web search observations out of mirrored chat transcripts while preserving tool progress telemetry. Fixes #85109. Thanks @ugitmebaby.</li>
+<li>OpenCode Go: strip unsupported Kimi reasoning replay fields before provider requests so repeated <code>kimi-k2.6</code> turns do not fail schema validation. Fixes #83812. Thanks @Sleeck.</li>

+<li>Gateway/models: reuse prepared provider auth metadata during model-listing auth checks so repeated lookups avoid broad plugin discovery while preserving synthetic local auth.</li>
+<li>CLI/status: suppress systemd user-service setup hints when <code>openclaw status --deep</code> can already reach a running Gateway RPC service. Fixes #85094. Thanks @islandpreneur007.</li>
+<li>CLI/devices: recover local approval when a same-device repair request replaces the request ID being approved.</li>
+<li>CLI/agents: retry transient normal-close Gateway handshakes before falling back to embedded <code>openclaw agent</code> execution.</li>
+<li>CLI/update: keep managed Gateway service stop/restart status lines out of <code>openclaw update --json</code> stdout so package-update automation can parse the JSON payload.</li>
+<li>Plugins: resolve OpenClaw plugin SDK subpaths for native external plugin runtimes without mutating package installs or broadening process-wide module resolution.</li>
+<li>Agents/OpenAI: preserve Responses and Chat Completions <code>reasoning_tokens</code> usage metadata without double-counting it in aggregate output tokens. (#85319)</li>
+<li>Control UI/chat: convert pasted <code>data:image/...;base64,...</code> clipboard text into an image attachment instead of dumping the payload into the composer. Fixes #62604. Thanks @cpwilhelmi.</li>
+<li>Providers/Gemini: strip fractional seconds from web-search time range filters so Gemini accepts freshness-bound search requests. (#85071) Thanks @Noerr.</li>
+<li>OpenAI Codex: preserve image input support for sparse <code>openai-codex/gpt-5.5</code> catalog rows. (#85095) Thanks @sercada.</li>
+<li>CLI/models: add a piped or pasted API-key path for OpenAI Codex auth and warn when API keys are pasted into token-mode auth. (#85533) Thanks @joshavant.</li>
+<li>Telegram: dead-letter missing-harness isolated ingress failures so a poisoned spooled update no longer blocks later same-lane messages. Fixes #85470. (#85605) Thanks @joshavant.</li>
+<li>Plugins/discovery: strip <code>-plugin</code> package suffixes when deriving plugin id hints so package names line up with manifest ids. (#85170) Thanks @JulyanXu.</li>
+<li>Tlon: stop advertising a non-existent agent tool contract in the plugin manifest.</li>
+<li>Telegram: preserve fenced code block languages through Markdown rendering so Telegram receives <code>language-*</code> code classes. (#85209) Thanks @leno23.</li>
+<li>Windows installer: run npm and Corepack command shims from a Windows-local directory so installs launched from WSL2 UNC paths do not fail before OpenClaw is installed.</li>
+<li>Windows updates: roll back git-backed updates to the previous checkout when dependency install, build, UI build, or doctor repair fails.</li>
+<li>Windows installer: persist user-local portable Git on PATH and activate the repo-pinned pnpm version for git-backed installs and updates.</li>
+<li>Windows installer: bootstrap a user-local portable Node.js when native Windows has no Node and no winget, Chocolatey, or Scoop, so first-run installs can continue on raw hosts.</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>Agents/code mode: return structured timeout and runtime-unavailable error codes for known worker failures. Fixes #83389. (#83444) Thanks @Kaspre.</li>
+<li>QA-Lab: isolate multi-scenario suite workers when scenarios need startup config patches, preventing message-routing config from leaking into unrelated scenarios.</li>
+<li>QA-Lab: make the commitments heartbeat-target-none scenario request an immediate heartbeat instead of waiting for the next scheduled heartbeat.</li>
+<li>Codex/Plugin SDK: deliver Codex-native subagent completions through a generic harness task runtime so harness-backed plugins can mirror durable task lifecycle and completion delivery without Codex-specific SDK imports. (#83445) Thanks @bryanpearson.</li>
+<li>Gateway CLI: surface local post-challenge connect assembly failures immediately instead of waiting for the wrapper timeout. Fixes #68944. (#85253) Thanks @samzong.</li>
+<li>Messages: strip unsupported web-search citation control markers from outbound replies before they reach WebChat or external channels. Fixes #85193. (#85204) Thanks @neeravmakwana.</li>
+<li>Agents/exec: treat denied exec approvals as terminal instead of feeding them back into agent follow-up work, and recognize Chinese stop phrases in abort handling. Fixes #69386. (#85194) Thanks @samzong.</li>
+<li>CLI/agents: abort accepted Gateway-backed <code>openclaw agent</code> runs on SIGINT/SIGTERM so cron and supervisor timeouts do not leave remote agent work alive. Fixes #71710. (#84381) Thanks @Kaspre.</li>
+<li>Codex app-server: retry replay-safe stdio client-close turns once using structured failure metadata, while surfacing idle <code>turn/completed</code> timeouts instead of blindly replaying active shared-server turns. Thanks @VACInc.</li>
+<li>Codex app-server: reject command overrides that embed Node or package-manager arguments and point users to <code>appServer.args</code>, so Windows startup avoids shell parsing failures. (#84417) Thanks @TurboTheTurtle.</li>
+<li>Agents/Copilot: drop unsafe GitHub Copilot Responses reasoning replay items before send so Telegram direct sessions no longer fail on overlong replay IDs. Fixes #85197. (#85198) Thanks @galiniliev.</li>
+<li>UI: add accessible tooltips to the topbar color-mode buttons so System, Light, and Dark choices are labeled on hover and focus. (#85227) Thanks @amknight.</li>
+<li>fix: constrain Windows task script names [AI]. (#85064) Thanks @pgondhi987.</li>
+<li>Control UI: keep the chat session picker from hiding older or cross-agent configured conversations while preserving the bounded configured-agent refresh. (#85211) Thanks @amknight.</li>

+<li>Agents/Codex: estimate tool-heavy prompt pressure at the LLM boundary before provider submission, so persistent sessions compact before overflowing context windows. (#85541) Thanks @fuller-stack-dev and @joshavant.</li>
+<li>Agents/hooks: wait for local one-shot CLI and Codex <code>agent_end</code> plugin hooks before process cleanup so terminal observability flushes reliably. (#85007)</li>
+<li>Providers/Google: preserve Gemini 3 cron <code>thinkingDefault: "low"</code> when stale catalog metadata says <code>reasoning:false</code>, so scheduled runs keep provider-supported thinking instead of downgrading to off. (#85185) Thanks @neeravmakwana.</li>
+<li>CLI/agents: allow <code>openclaw agent --session-key</code> to target explicit session keys, including agent-scoped legacy keys. (#85121) Thanks @Kaspre.</li>
+<li>Auto-reply/ACP: wait for same-channel block reply delivery before starting tool work, while still honoring ACP dispatch aborts so stopped turns do not wait on slow channel sends. (#83722) Thanks @IWhatsskill.</li>
+<li>Codex/ACP: mark required child-run completions that only report progress, omit a final deliverable, or fail requester delivery as blocked while preserving real final reports. (#85110) Thanks @IWhatsskill.</li>
+<li>Channels: treat bare abort messages such as <code>stop</code>, <code>abort</code>, and <code>wait</code> as immediate control commands in inbound debounce paths so stop requests are not delayed behind pending message coalescing. (#83348) Thanks @IWhatsskill.</li>
+<li>Channels/message tool: resolve configured external channel plugins during in-agent channel selection, so <code>openclaw agent --local</code> message-tool sends no longer report an available channel as unavailable. (#85022) Thanks @Kaspre.</li>
+<li>Agents/heartbeat: honor group/channel <code>message_tool</code> visible-reply policy and model-specific Codex runtime config for scheduled heartbeat runs, so failed internal tool output stays private. Fixes #85310. (#85357) Thanks @neeravmakwana.</li>
+<li>Gateway/ACP: close child ACP sessions spawned via <code>sessions_spawn</code> when their parent session is reset or deleted, instead of leaving orphaned <code>claude-agent-acp</code> processes that accumulate and exhaust memory. Fixes #68916. (#85190) Thanks @openperf.</li>
+<li>Codex app-server: block native execution paths when OpenClaw exec resolves to a node host while preserving the first-party CLI node binding path. Fixes #85012. (#85534) Thanks @joshavant.</li>
+<li>Diagnostics: bound cleanup timeout detail logs, emit drop summaries when async diagnostic bursts exceed the queue cap, and surface async queue drops through diagnostic telemetry.</li>
+<li>Agents/subagents: surface blocked child-run completions as errors instead of successful subagent finishes. (#80886) Thanks @TurboTheTurtle.</li>
+<li>Context engines: fail closed with a descriptive error when the selected agent runtime cannot satisfy declared context-engine host requirements.</li>
+<li>Agents/Pi: treat accepted embedded <code>sessions_spawn</code> child-session handoffs as terminal progress so parent turns no longer report false non-deliverable failures. (#85054) Thanks @samzong.</li>
+<li>CLI/models: resolve <code>openclaw models set</code> aliases from the runtime config while keeping authored aliases ahead of runtime-only defaults. (#83262) Thanks @IWhatsskill.</li>
+<li>Doctor: show personal Codex CLI asset notices as info instead of warnings. Fixes #84859.</li>
+<li>WhatsApp: update Baileys to <code>7.0.0-rc13</code> and drop the obsolete logger type patch.</li>
+<li>CLI/update: pre-pack GitHub/git package update targets before the staged npm install, restoring <code>openclaw update --tag main</code> for one-off package updates. (#81296) Thanks @fuller-stack-dev.</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>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>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>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>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>

-            <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>
+            <description><![CDATA[<h2>OpenClaw 2026.5.20</h2>
 <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>
+<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>Security/content boundaries: route untrusted group prompt metadata outside system prompts, normalize repeated trailing hostname dots, block side-effecting command wrappers, reject unsafe Node runtime env overrides, reject no-auth Tailscale exposure, block untrusted Microsoft Teams service URLs, enforce <code>/allowlist configWrites</code> origin policy, gate QQBot fallback approval buttons, and require admin for node/device-role approvals. (#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>Agents/runtime: avoid session event queue self-waits, bound compaction wake and steering retries, preserve grace for pending error diagnostics, avoid false Codex runtime live switches, avoid stale restart continuation reuse, preserve session fallback errors, suppress duplicate Claude CLI skill prompts, keep runtime context before active user turns, strip stale Anthropic thinking, quarantine unsupported tool schemas, recover completed write timeouts safely, release retained session write locks on timeout abort, and validate forced plugin harness support before pinning. (#86123, #55424, #86855, #74341, #87278) Thanks @luoyanglang, @cathrynlavery, and @openperf.</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>
-<li>Install/package/release: match npm globstar exclusions, honor dist package exclusions in inventory, omit unpacked test helpers, skip Homebrew until macOS packages need it, package Docker runtime workspace templates, smoke Docker runtime templates during full validation, merge nested shrinkwrap override pins, preserve forked shrinkwrap pins, pin aged <code>lru-cache</code>, harden postpublish verification, accept main full-validation proof, and reject empty beta smoke runs.</li>
-<li>E2E/QA/Crabbox: bound Telegram, Open WebUI, ClawHub, Matrix, Tool Search, MCP, gateway network, bundled runtime, kitchen-sink, codex media, config reload, and agent-turn assertion waits; prefer Azure for Windows targets; reinitialize invalid changed-gate git dirs; full-sync sparse container runs; and fail empty explicit test requests. (#87186)</li>
+<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>

-            <description><![CDATA[<h2>OpenClaw 2026.5.26</h2>
-<h3>Highlights</h3>
-<ul>
-<li>Faster Gateway and replies: startup avoids repeated plugin, channel, session, usage-cost, warning, scheduled-service, and filesystem scans; visible replies separate user-facing sends from slower follow-up work; Gateway runtime/session caches churn less under load.</li>
-<li>Transcripts are core: transcript-backed meeting summaries, source-provider chunks, cleaned user turns, media provenance, Codex mirrors, WebChat replies, and CLI/TUI replay now use one more reliable transcript path.</li>
-<li>More channels are production-ready: Telegram keeps typing/progress context and forum topics, iMessage handles attachment roots, remote media staging, and duplicate local Messages sources, WhatsApp restores group/media behavior, Discord improves voice playback and model picking, and Signal/iMessage/WhatsApp get reaction approvals.</li>
-<li>Better voice and Talk: realtime Talk runs can be inspected, steered, cancelled, or followed up from Web UI and Discord voice; wake-name handling is more tolerant without letting ambient speech trigger agents.</li>
-<li>Safer content boundaries: Browser snapshot reads honor SSRF policy, system-event text cannot spoof nested prompt markers, fetched file text is wrapped as external content, ClickClack inbound sender allowlists run before agent dispatch, stale device tokens are rejected, and serialized tool-call text is scrubbed from replies.</li>
-<li>Providers, Codex, and local models are steadier: named auth profiles, OpenAI sampling params, Codex app-server resume/timeout/usage-limit recovery, dynamic tool-schema guards, xAI usage-limit surfacing, Ollama top-p normalization, and local approval resolution reduce provider-specific dead ends.</li>
-<li>More reliable install/update/release paths: Alpine installs, trusted runtime fallback roots, stable update channels, Docker/package timeouts, Windows Scheduled Tasks, Windows/macOS proof lanes, Testbox/Crabbox delegation, plugin publish checks, and macOS runner bootstraps all got hardened.</li>
-<li>Better observability: Activity tab, gateway secret-prep traces, tool/model stream progress, explicit fast-mode status, systemd Gateway hygiene, OpenTelemetry LLM spans, release performance evidence, and richer telemetry signals make failures easier to inspect.</li>
-</ul>
+            <description><![CDATA[<h2>OpenClaw 2026.5.19</h2>
 <h3>Changes</h3>
 <ul>
-<li>Transcripts: add core transcript capture and source-provider support for transcript-backed meeting summaries, including the renamed Transcripts docs, CLI surface, source-provider chunks, and cleaned user-turn persistence.</li>
-<li>Auth: add named model login profiles and supported credential migration for Hermes, OpenCode, and Codex auth profiles, with explicit opt-out and non-interactive controls. (#85667) Thanks @fuller-stack-dev.</li>
-<li>Diagnostics: trace gateway secret preparation, classify skill/tool usage, surface model stream progress, add OpenTelemetry LLM content spans, and expose alertable telemetry for blocked tools, failover, stale sessions, liveness, oversized payloads, and webhook ingress. (#83019, #80370, #86191)</li>
-<li>Channels: add Signal reaction approvals, iMessage thumb approval reactions, and WhatsApp thumb approval reaction support so mobile approval flows work without textual <code>/approve</code> commands. (#85894, #85952, #85477)</li>
-<li>Agents/API: forward OpenAI sampling params through the Gateway and expose estimated context-budget status for active agent runs. (#84094)</li>
-<li>TUI/status: queue prompts submitted while an agent is busy and show explicit fast-mode state plus richer systemd Gateway hygiene in status output. (#86722, #87115, #86976)</li>
-<li>Exec approvals: hide durable approval actions that are unavailable for the current prompt and keep approval runtime tokens local-only so stale prompts cannot offer misleading controls. (#86270, #86359)</li>
-<li>Plugin SDK: add reaction approval helpers and keep diagnostic event root exports discoverable across function-name and alias-bound module graphs. (#86735, #87084)</li>
-<li>Android/iOS: add the Android pair-new-gateway action and improve mobile Talk mode surfaces, including iOS realtime Talk mode and Android offline voice/gateway recovery. (#86798, #86355) Thanks @ngutman.</li>
-<li>Performance: cache plugin metadata snapshots, package realpaths, stable gateway metadata, model cost indexes, channel resolution, usage-cost indexes, and session/auth hot-path facts so common Gateway and reply paths do less rediscovery. (#84649, #85843, #86517, #86678)</li>
-<li>Voice: expose shared realtime turn-context tracking through the realtime voice SDK and reuse it for Discord speaker attribution and wake-name context recovery.</li>
-<li>Voice: reuse shared realtime output activity tracking in Google Meet command and node audio bridges, including recent-output checks for local barge-in detection.</li>
-<li>Voice: expose shared realtime output activity tracking through the realtime voice SDK and reuse it for Discord playback activity and barge-in decisions.</li>
-<li>Voice: expose shared realtime consult question matching, speakable-result extraction, and alias-aware forced-consult coordination through the realtime voice SDK, then reuse it in Gateway Talk, Voice Call, and Discord voice paths.</li>
-<li>Voice: share activation-name matching and consult-transcript screening through the realtime voice SDK so Discord, browser voice, and meeting surfaces can reuse one implementation.</li>
-<li>Cron: default <code>cron.maxConcurrentRuns</code> to 8 so scheduled automations and their isolated agent turns can make progress in parallel without explicit configuration.</li>
-<li>QA-Lab: add <code>qa coverage --match <query></code> so focused proof selection can discover matching scenarios from existing metadata before running live or remote lanes.</li>
-<li>Discord/model picker: surface an alpha-bucket select (e.g. <code>A–G (12) · H–N (18) · O–Z (5)</code>) when the provider list or a provider's model list exceeds 25 items, so configs with <code>provider/*</code> wildcards stay one click from the right page instead of paginating through prev/next; falls back to numeric chunks when every item shares the same first letter.</li>
-<li>Control UI: add an ephemeral Activity tab for sanitized live tool activity summaries without persisting raw telemetry. Fixes #12831. Thanks @BunsDev.</li>
-<li>Build: include <code>ui:build</code> in the <code>full</code> and <code>ciArtifacts</code> profiles of <code>scripts/build-all.mjs</code> so <code>pnpm build</code> always rebuilds <code>dist/control-ui</code> after <code>tsdown</code> cleans <code>dist</code>, removing the second-command requirement and the missing-asset failure mode for source/runtime installs and CI artifact uploads. (#85206)</li>
-<li>iOS: improve Talk mode with direct realtime voice sessions, compact toolbar status, and responsive voice waveform feedback. (#86355) Thanks @ngutman.</li>
-<li>Media: replace the Sharp image backend with Rastermill for metadata, resizing, EXIF orientation, and PNG alpha-preserving optimization so OpenClaw no longer installs Sharp or the WhatsApp Jimp fallback for image processing. (#86437)</li>
-<li>Codex: update the bundled Codex CLI to 0.134.0 and keep native compaction disabled for budget-triggered app-server turns so OpenClaw owns the recovery boundary. (#86772)</li>
+<li>Agents: clarify that fixes should default to clean bounded refactors, lean internals, and explicit plugin SDK/API deprecation paths.</li>
+<li>Dependencies: update <code>@openclaw/proxyline</code> to 0.3.3.</li>
+<li>Dependencies: update Pi packages to 0.75.1 and raise the minimum supported Node.js 22 line to 22.19.</li>
+<li>Docker/Podman: add <code>OPENCLAW_IMAGE_APT_PACKAGES</code> as the runtime-neutral image build arg for extra apt packages while keeping <code>OPENCLAW_DOCKER_APT_PACKAGES</code> as a legacy fallback. (#62431) Thanks @urtabajev.</li>
+<li>Gateway/ACPX: attribute startup probe, config, runtime, and resource-count costs in restart traces without changing readiness behavior. (#83300) Thanks @samzong.</li>
+<li>Gateway: overlap startup logging and plugin-service startup with channel sidecars to reduce restart ready latency while preserving <code>/readyz</code> sidecar gating. (#83301) Thanks @samzong.</li>
+<li>Plugins/admin-http-rpc: allow trusted admin HTTP RPC clients to start and wait for web QR login flows. (#83259) Thanks @liorb-mountapps.</li>
+<li>Mac app: redesign Settings pages with consistent card layouts, cached navigation, cleaner permissions/voice/skills/cron/exec/debug panes, and steadier spacing around the native sidebar.</li>
+<li>Mac app: refine Voice & Talk recognition-language and wake-phrase settings so they use the same compact card rows as the rest of Settings.</li>
+<li>Skills: rename the repo-local Codex closeout review skill and helper to <code>autoreview</code> while preserving the Codex-first fallback behavior.</li>
+<li>Skills: add a meme-maker skill for curated template search, local SVG/PNG rendering, Imgflip hosted rendering, and Know Your Meme provenance links.</li>
+<li>Skills CLI: allow <code>openclaw skills install</code> and <code>openclaw skills update</code> to target shared managed skills with <code>--global</code>. (#74466) Thanks @Marvae.</li>
+<li>Browser: surface pending and recently handled modal dialogs in snapshots, return <code>blockedByDialog</code> when an action opens a modal, and allow <code>browser dialog --dialog-id</code> to answer pending dialogs.</li>
+<li>Browser CLI: add <code>openclaw browser evaluate --timeout-ms</code> so long-running page functions can extend both the evaluate action and request timeout budgets. (#83447) Thanks @eefreenyc.</li>
+<li>Codex app-server: scope OpenClaw prompt guidance by runtime surface so native Codex keeps Codex-owned base/personality instructions while OpenClaw contributes only runtime context, delivery guidance, and explicitly scoped command hints. (#83454) Thanks @100yenadmin.</li>
+<li>Docker/Podman: add <code>OPENCLAW_IMAGE_PIP_PACKAGES</code> for opt-in Python package installation in local image builds. (#83771) Thanks @stephenredmond-straiteis.</li>
+<li>Agents/tools: shorten built-in tool descriptions and schema hints across media, messaging, sessions, cron, Gateway, web, image/PDF, TTS, nodes, and plan tools while preserving routing guardrails.</li>
+<li>Skills: add node inspector debugging, fused diagram generation, and throwaway spike workflow skills.</li>
+<li>CLI/plugins: add <code>defineToolPlugin</code> plus <code>openclaw plugins build</code>, <code>validate</code>, and <code>init</code> for typed simple tool plugins with generated manifest metadata, optional tool declarations, and context factories.</li>
+<li>Agents/skills: tighten bundled skill prompts and metadata, quote skill descriptions, refresh current CLI/API guidance, and update embedded sherpa-onnx runtime downloads.</li>
+<li>Skills: update the Obsidian skill to target the official <code>obsidian</code> CLI and require its registered binary instead of the third-party <code>obsidian-cli</code>.</li>
+<li>Skills: add a Python debugging skill for pdb, breakpoint(), post-mortem inspection, and debugpy remote attach.</li>
+<li>Codex: add <code>/codex plugins list</code>, <code>enable</code>, and <code>disable</code> for managing configured native Codex plugins from chat without editing config by hand.</li>
+<li>Plugins/messages: add presentation capability limits for channel renderers, adapt rich message controls before native rendering, and mark legacy <code>interactive</code>/Slack directive producer APIs as deprecated.</li>
+<li>Plugins/subagents: store channel delivery routes as canonical session metadata and deprecate ad hoc subagent hook delivery-origin fields in favor of core route projection.</li>
+<li>Proxy: support HTTPS managed forward-proxy endpoints and scoped <code>proxy.tls.caFile</code> CA trust for proxy endpoint TLS. (#79171) Thanks @jesse-merhi.</li>
+<li>QA-Lab: add first-hour 20-turn and optional 100-turn runtime parity scenarios, with tier metadata for standard and soak QA gates. Fixes #80338; refs #80337. Thanks @100yenadmin.</li>
+<li>QA-Lab: add <code>openclaw qa suite --runtime-parity-tier</code> and wire the standard Codex-vs-Pi tier into release checks separately from optional/live-only/soak lanes. Fixes #80337. Thanks @100yenadmin.</li>
+<li>QA-Lab: add a live-only Codex Pi-shaped Read vocabulary canary so runtime parity catches native workspace-read prompt compatibility drift. (#80323) Thanks @100yenadmin.</li>
+<li>QA-Lab: add live-only harness self-health scenarios for plugin hook crashes, manifest contract errors, and WebChat direct-reply self-message routing. (#80323) Thanks @100yenadmin.</li>
+<li>QA-Lab: add runtime tool fixture scenarios and coverage reporting for Codex-native workspace tools, OpenClaw dynamic tools, and optional plugin-backed tools. Fixes #80173. Thanks @100yenadmin.</li>
+<li>QA-Lab: expose runtime tool fixture coverage through <code>openclaw qa coverage --tools</code>, with optional suite-summary evaluation for parity gate artifacts. Thanks @100yenadmin.</li>
+<li>QA-Lab: schedule a live-frontier Codex-vs-Pi runtime token-efficiency artifact lane in the all-lanes QA workflow. Fixes #80175. Thanks @100yenadmin.</li>
+<li>QA-Lab: hard-gate required OpenClaw dynamic runtime-tool drift in the standard Codex-vs-Pi tier with a blocking release-check verifier and publish the tool coverage report artifact. Fixes #80339; refs #80319. Thanks @100yenadmin.</li>
+<li>QA-Lab: add the personal-agent approval-denial scenario so the benchmark pack verifies denied local reads stop cleanly without tool progress or fixture leaks. (#83150) Thanks @iFiras-Max1.</li>
+<li>QA-Lab: extend the personal-agent benchmark pack with a local task followthrough scenario for proof-backed pending, blocked, and done status reporting. Thanks @iFiras-Max1.</li>
+<li>QA-Lab: add a report-only dreaming shadow-trial scenario so candidate memory promotion can be evaluated without mutating <code>MEMORY.md</code>. Thanks @iFiras-Max1.</li>
+<li>Gateway/performance: add <code>pnpm test:restart:gateway</code> benchmark tooling for repeated restart readiness, downtime, trace, and resource-slope evidence. (#83299) Thanks @samzong.</li>
+<li>Android: switch Talk Mode to realtime Gateway relay voice sessions with streaming mic input, realtime audio playback, tool-result bridging, and on-screen transcripts. (#83130) Thanks @sliekens.</li>
+<li>Gateway/config: expose config lookup reload metadata so tools can distinguish restart-required, hot-reloadable, and no-op fields before applying config edits. Fixes #81409. (#81612) Thanks @LLagoon3.</li>
+<li>Telegram: add allowlisted native DM draft previews for transient tool progress while keeping final answers on the normal persistent delivery path. (#83622) Thanks @akrimm702.</li>
+<li>QA-Lab: add a personal-agent share-safe diagnostics artifact scenario so support handoffs keep useful status while omitting raw personal content. Thanks @iFiras-Max1.</li>
+<li>QA-Lab: add a personal-agent no-fake-progress scenario so completion claims stay tied to local evidence instead of unsupported external progress. (#83824) Thanks @iFiras-Max1.</li>
 </ul>
 <h3>Fixes</h3>
 <ul>
-<li>Memory/security: reject prompt-like text submitted through the explicit <code>memory_store</code> tool before embedding or storage, matching the existing auto-capture prompt-injection filter. (#87142)</li>
-<li>Gateway/security: enable the default auth rate limiter for remote non-browser and HTTP gateway auth failures when <code>gateway.auth.rateLimit</code> is unset, while preserving the loopback exemption. (#87148)</li>
-<li>Security/content boundaries: validate Browser snapshot tab URLs against SSRF policy before ChromeMCP or direct CDP reads, sanitize queued system-event text so untrusted plugin/channel labels cannot spoof nested prompt markers, wrap fetched file text and metadata as external content, apply ClickClack <code>allowFrom</code> sender allowlists before agent dispatch, reject RPCs from invalidated device-token clients during rotation, require staged sandbox media refs, and scrub serialized tool-call text from replies. (#78526, #87094, #87062, #83741, #70707, #86924) Thanks @zsxsoft, @ttzero25, and @mmaps.</li>
-<li>Transcripts/user turns: persist CLI, WebChat, media, follow-up, hook, and Codex-mirror user turns to the admitted session target; keep cleaned transcript text, inline image routing, provenance metadata, replay hooks, and fallback paths idempotent when runtimes fail or restart.</li>
-<li>TUI/status/onboarding/UI: queue busy TUI prompts instead of dropping them, preserve the configured default model during onboarding, show failed tool results as errors, show config-open failures in Control UI, keep status JSON plugin scans healthy, preserve xAI usage-limit errors locally, and expose explicit fast-mode/systemd state. (#86722, #87000, #85786, #87108, #87001, #86614, #87115, #86976)</li>
-<li>Plugin commands/SDK: preserve plugin LLM command auth, bind native plugin command dispatch to the host agent's LLM auth, keep <code>onDiagnosticEvent</code> exports discoverable through <code>Function.name</code>, stabilize diagnostic event root aliases, correlate pathless read diagnostics, suppress transient runner failures in channel command paths, and repair local approval resolution. (#85936, #87084, #86977, #87069, #86771)</li>
-<li>Codex/providers: keep WebChat delivery hints out of user prompts, avoid false queued-terminal idle timeouts, share the native hook relay registry, quarantine unsupported dynamic tool schemas, preserve Claude resumed-session system prompts, normalize greedy Ollama <code>top_p</code>, preserve per-agent thinking defaults for ingress runs, and avoid native compaction takeover on budget-triggered Codex turns. (#87096, #73950, #87049, #86689, #86772)</li>
-<li>Gateway/perf/release: reuse startup-warning metadata and prepared auth stores, avoid cloning live-switch and lifecycle session caches on read paths, defer warning and scheduled-service fallback imports, trim Gateway session/startup/runtime CPU churn, skip duplicate turn session touches, stop chat timeout fallback cascades, drop stale subagent announce history, bound benchmark/watch/kitchen-sink teardown waits, bound macOS/package/onboarding/plugin smoke commands, bound install finalization probes, resolve Parallels npm-update commands from guest <code>PATH</code>, and bootstrap raw AWS macOS Node/pnpm commands through <code>/usr/bin/env</code>. (#86997)</li>
-<li>Reply/perf: reduce visible reply delivery latency by preserving Telegram typing/progress context, lazy-loading slash-command startup metadata, avoiding hot-path model hydration, flag-gating Codex profiler timing, deferring context compaction maintenance, and tracking delivery timing. (#86989, #86990, #86991, #86992, #86993, #86994) Thanks @keshavbotagent.</li>
-<li>Reply/source delivery: keep TUI, Control UI, media, TTS, transcript, and Codex source-reply finals live without duplicate terminal events or stale replay artifacts.</li>

(#82203, #86934, #87025) Thanks @martingarramon, @vincentkoc, and @joshavant.</li>
-<li>Agents/sessions: handle active-fallback failures in <code>sessions_send</code> so fallback routing reports the real failure and does not leave callers with an ambiguous dropped send. (#86638)</li>
-<li>Agents/hooks/subagents: enforce default hook agent allowlists, recover failed subagent lifecycle completions, and keep node task lifecycle cleanup from closing the Gateway listener. (#86101)</li>
-<li>Codex: project newer OpenClaw chat history into resumed app-server threads and keep Codex turn timeouts inside the Codex runtime boundary so timeouts do not poison shared app-server clients or fall through to unrelated provider fallback. (#86677, #86476) Thanks @TurboTheTurtle and @pashpashpash.</li>
-<li>Config/doctor/update: narrow profiled tool-section doctor repair, keep runtime-injected legacy web-search provider config out of user-authored config validation, and keep prerelease tags excluded from stable updater resolution. (#87030, #86818, #86559) Thanks @joshavant, @luoyanglang, and @stevenepalmer.</li>
-<li>CLI/Windows: add a Windows-only stack-size respawn for stack-heavy startup paths, default CLI logs to local timestamps, and validate timeout/banner TTY state more strictly. (#87031, #85387) Thanks @giodl73-repo and @vincentkoc.</li>
-<li>Locking/security: require owner identity proof before stale plugin lock removal, memoize session lock owner arguments, and avoid writing default exec approval stores unless policy state actually changed. (#86814, #86964) Thanks @Alix-007 and @vincentkoc.</li>
-<li>Install/release: bound Docker package build, inventory, pack, and tarball preparation with process-group timeouts; pin shrinkwrap patch drift to the pnpm lock; harden macOS restart and dSYM packaging; and run release Docker/live timeout wrappers in the foreground so child processes cannot wedge gates.</li>
-<li>Telegram/network: treat <code>ENETDOWN</code> as a transient pre-connect network failure so Telegram sends, gateway unhandled-rejection handling, and cron network retries follow the same recovery path as sibling network outages. (#86762) Thanks @TurboTheTurtle.</li>
-<li>Telegram: preserve inbound text entities, overlapping DM replies, account topic cache sidecars, outbound reply context, targeted bot-command mentions, durable group retry targets, forum topic names, and native progress callbacks. (#83873, #85361, #85555, #85656, #85709, #86299, #86553) Thanks @SebTardif, @luoyanglang, and @neeravmakwana.</li>
-<li>iMessage: read image attachments from local Messages attachment roots, dedupe duplicate local Messages-source accounts, seed direct DM history, fix image/group media attachment commands, advance catchup cursors after live handling, and keep slash-command acknowledgements in the source conversation. (#82642, #85475, #86569, #86705, #86706, #86770) Thanks @homer-byte, @TurboTheTurtle, @swang430, and @OmarShahine.</li>

-<li>Discord/voice: improve voice playback and wake replies, bucket large model picker menus, merge media captions into one message, route metadata through configured proxies, restore numeric channel sends, suppress self-reply echoes, and tighten wake matching without breaking fuzzy wake phrases. (#80227, #86238, #86487, #86571, #86595, #86601)</li>
-<li>Codex: preserve native web-search metadata, keep oversized native thread reuse, bridge CLI API-key auth into the app server, preserve sandbox bootstrap path style, recover context-window prompt errors, honor yolo approval policy, disable native thread personality, and route compaction through Codex auth. (#85378, #85542, #85891, #85909, #86408)</li>
-<li>Agents/runtime: enforce session lock max-hold reclaim, release embedded-attempt locks on all exits, treat aborted subagent runs as terminal, avoid runtime model hydration on hot paths, disclose scoped session list counts, derive overflow budgets from provider errors, and keep fallback errors scoped to the active model candidate. (#70473, #85764, #86014, #86134, #86427, #86944) Thanks @openperf, @fuller-stack-dev, @zhangguiping-xydt, and @ferminquant.</li>
-<li>Config/update/doctor: retry config recovery after failed backup restore, skip shell env fallback on Windows, exclude prerelease tags from the stable git channel, support deep config edits, warn instead of aborting on unreadable cron stores, prune stale bundled plugin paths, and avoid duplicate restart prompts when the Gateway is already healthy. (#85739, #85787, #86060, #86260, #86384, #86533) Thanks @liaoyl830.</li>
-<li>Install/release: support Alpine CLI installs and runtime floors, prefer trusted startup argv runtime fallback roots, reject stale CLI node runtimes, avoid npm <code>min-release-age</code> installer failures, bound npm/package/Docker install phases, restore config parent ownership in Docker, seed Docker lockfile package tarballs before prune, make release/plugin prerelease checks fail closed instead of hanging or false-greening, and use host-visible Crabbox local work roots for Docker-backed proof. (#85491)</li>
-<li>Windows daemon: keep Scheduled Task gateway launches running on battery power and avoid workgroup-machine prompts for a domain user during task installation. (#59299)</li>
-<li>Security: avoid printing Gateway tokens in Docker, validate plugin model-pattern regexes safely, escape transcript metadata field names, harden session allowlist glob matching, audit Claude permission overrides under YOLO, and require explicit allow for ACP auto approvals. (#85849, #85934, #86046, #86557)</li>
-<li>Media/images: replace Sharp with Rastermill, keep EXIF normalization best-effort, normalize HEIC/HEIF before image descriptions, route Codex image API keys through OpenAI, preserve image compression metadata, and auto-scale live tool result caps. (#85776, #86037, #86437, #86857, #86923)</li>
-<li>Memory: prevent semantic vector indexes from silently degrading when embeddings are unavailable, stop doctor OOMs on large session stores, preserve sidecar hooks/artifacts, write fallback dream diaries, use CJK-aware dreaming dedupe, and avoid per-file watcher FD fan-out. (#80613, #82928, #85060, #85704, #85967, #86701) Thanks @brokemac79, @openperf, and @yaaboo-gif.</li>
-<li>Agents/sessions: include visibility metadata on restricted <code>sessions_list</code> results so scoped counts are clearly reported without widening access or exposing hidden-session counts. (#86944) Thanks @ferminquant.</li>
-<li>Gateway/DNS: validate wide-area discovery domains before deriving zone paths or writing zone files, so invalid <code>discovery.wideArea.domain</code> and <code>dns setup --domain</code> values fail with a DNS-name diagnostic instead of falling through to unrelated configuration errors. Thanks @mmaps.</li>
-<li>Agents/BTW: route fallback side-question streams through the embedded stream resolver so Anthropic-compatible MiniMax requests use the same capped transport as normal chat. (#86312) Thanks @neeravmakwana.</li>
-<li>Telegram: treat <code>/command@TargetBot</code> bot-command entities as explicit mentions for the addressed bot so <code>requireMention</code> groups no longer drop targeted commands or captions. Fixes #84462. (#86553) Thanks @luoyanglang.</li>
-<li>CI: bound Docker/Bash E2E tarball npm installs with <code>OPENCLAW_E2E_NPM_INSTALL_TIMEOUT</code> so package, onboarding, plugin, and upgrade lanes fail instead of hanging on a stuck npm install.</li>
-<li>CI: fail Parallels npm-update smoke jobs after the guest command timeout and cleanup backstop instead of only logging a timeout line.</li>
-<li>CI: bound kitchen-sink RPC HTTP probes so stalled gateway readiness or response bodies fail and retry instead of wedging the walker.</li>
-<li>CI: keep <code>OPENCLAW_TESTBOX=1 pnpm check:changed</code> delegating to Blacksmith Testbox through Crabbox without forwarding local Testbox or worker env into the remote command.</li>

-<li>CI: send KILL after the TERM grace period for Bun global install smoke command timeouts so trapped <code>openclaw</code> child processes cannot wedge the scheduled install smoke.</li>
-<li>iMessage: thread current channel/account inbound attachment roots into the image tool so iMessage-saved attachments under <code>~/Library/Messages/Attachments</code> (including the wildcard <code>/Users/*/Library/Messages/Attachments</code> root) are read through the existing inbound path policy instead of being rejected as <code>path-not-allowed</code>. Literal <code>localRoots</code> stays workspace-scoped. Fixes #30170. (#86569)</li>
-<li>QQ Bot: respect <code>OPENCLAW_HOME</code> for outbound media path resolution so <code><qqmedia></code> sends no longer silently fail when <code>HOME</code> and <code>OPENCLAW_HOME</code> differ (Docker / multi-user hosts).

-<li>OpenShell/SSH: reject malformed generated exec commands before sandbox/session setup so unresolved workflow placeholders fail fast instead of reaching the remote shell. Fixes #72373. Thanks @brokemac79.</li>
-<li>Google: stop normalizing <code>gemini-3.1-flash-lite</code> to the retired preview endpoint and update Flash Lite alias guidance to the GA model id. Fixes #86151. (#86240) Thanks @SebTardif.</li>
-<li>Installer: make Alpine apk installs cover Git, verify the Node runtime floor, try <code>nodejs-current</code>, and report Alpine version guidance when repositories only provide older Node packages.</li>

-<li>Cron: restore suspended cron lanes to the configured/default concurrency instead of falling back to one after quota or circuit-breaker auto-resume.</li>
-<li>Gateway: keep session-only Control UI tool-start mirrors flowing during diagnostic queue pressure instead of silently dropping non-terminal tool updates.</li>

-<li>Discord/OpenAI voice: rotate Realtime sessions at provider max duration without logging the expected session-expiry event as an error.</li>
-<li>Sessions: skip metadata-only entries during QMD-slugified session lookup so one incomplete row does not block transcript hit resolution. (#86327) Thanks @abnershang.</li>
-<li>Agents/media: derive bundled plugin local-media trust from plugin tool metadata instead of importing the full plugin registry on subscription paths. (#84409) Thanks @samzong.</li>

-<li>Memory-core: keep REM dreaming focused on live light-staged memories and mark staged entries as considered so old recall history no longer dominates fresh candidates. (#86302) Thanks @SebTardif.</li>
-<li>Memory: abort sync instead of downgrading an existing semantic vector index to FTS-only when the configured embedding provider is temporarily unavailable. (#85704) Thanks @yaaboo-gif.</li>
-<li>Telegram: propagate forum topic names through the account-scoped topic cache for native command context and topic create/edit actions. (#86299) Thanks @SebTardif.</li>

-<li>Crabbox: bootstrap Git metadata for sparse remote changed gates so raw synced workspaces can run <code>pnpm check:changed</code> from the intended diff.</li>
-<li>xAI/LM Studio: avoid buffering ordinary bracketed or <code>final</code> prose until stream completion while watching for plain-text tool-call fallbacks.</li>
-<li>Doctor: warn and continue when the cron job store exists but cannot be read so later health checks still run. Fixes #86102. (#86384) Thanks @1052326311.</li>

-<li>Docker E2E: avoid rebuilding the Control UI twice while preparing the shared OpenClaw package tarball for package-backed scenario runs.</li>
-<li>Tests: avoid rebuilding the Control UI twice during the installer Docker smoke now that <code>pnpm build</code> includes <code>ui:build</code>.</li>
-<li>Tests: give QA config mutation RPCs enough native Windows budget to finish gateway config writes and restart settle after hot scenario runs.</li>
-<li>Tests: keep the gateway restart-inflight QA scenario focused on restart recovery on native Windows by allowing expected embedded prompt handoff errors and using the Windows-safe timeout budget.</li>
-<li>QA-Lab: make the synthetic OpenAI provider honor generic <code>reply exactly:</code> directives after required kickoff reads so restart-recovery scenarios do not fall through to generic repo-summary prose.</li>
-<li>Gateway: abort active <code>agent</code> RPC runs during forced restart shutdown so stale in-process turns cannot keep writing a session after the Gateway lifecycle restarts.</li>
-<li>Crabbox: sync clean sparse worktrees through a temporary full checkout even when reusing an existing lease so tracked build-time files are not omitted.</li>
-<li>Build: route <code>scripts/ui.js</code> through the shared pnpm runner and keep Control UI chunking helpers in sparse-included source so native Windows Corepack builds can produce <code>dist/control-ui</code>.</li>

-<li>Tests: collect QA gateway CPU/RSS metrics on native Windows and give the channel baseline enough turn budget to report slow gateway runs instead of timing out before proof.</li>
-<li>Install/update: bypass npm <code>min-release-age</code> policies with <code>--min-release-age=0</code> instead of <code>--before</code> so hosted installers keep working on npm versions that reject the combined config. (#84749) Thanks @TeodoroRodrigo.</li>

-<li>CLI: suppress benign self-update version-skew warnings during package post-update finalization.</li>
-<li>Gateway/perf: tighten restart and startup benchmark failure handling so long profiling runs, failed probes, and fresh Linux runners no longer produce false passing or <code>n/a</code> results.</li>
-<li>Checks: keep intentional Knip unused-file findings optional so full CI and sparse proof workspaces stay aligned.</li>
-<li>Docker: restore writable <code>~/.config</code> in runtime images. Fixes #85968. Thanks @hkoessler and @Bartok9.</li>
-<li>Plugin SDK: keep legacy root diagnostic subscriptions connected when built plugin SDK aliases resolve diagnostic helpers through a separate module graph.</li>
-<li>Diagnostics: export alertable OTel and Prometheus signals for blocked tools, model failover, stale sessions, liveness warnings, oversized payloads, and webhook ingress while fixing shared OTLP endpoints with query strings.</li>

-<li>Tests: sample the Windows kitchen-sink RPC gateway directly and serialize RSS probes so native runs keep the memory guard active.</li>
-<li>Tests: normalize bundled plugin lifecycle probe paths and state-root lookup so native Windows release sweeps accept valid packaged plugin installs.</li>
-<li>Agents/Claude CLI: route live native Bash permission requests through OpenClaw exec policy so Claude turns no longer stall on <code>control_request</code>, and document that OpenClaw exec policy is authoritative. Fixes #80819. (#86330, from #81971) Thanks @guthirry and @sallyom.</li>
-<li>Security audit: warn when YOLO OpenClaw exec policy overrides a restrictive raw Claude <code>--permission-mode</code> for managed live sessions. (#86557) Thanks @sallyom.</li>

-<ul>
-<li>Gateway: require Talk secret authority before setup-code handoff can include Talk secrets. (#85690) Thanks @ngutman.</li>
-<li>Agents: keep fallback error reporting scoped to the active model candidate so stale prior-provider quota/auth text is not reported for later fallback attempts. (#86134) Thanks @zhangguiping-xydt.</li>
-<li>iMessage: dedupe watcher startup when <code>channels.imessage.accounts</code> lists both <code>default</code> and a named account that point at the same local Messages source, so the gateway no longer spawns two <code>imsg rpc</code> processes or doubles inbound replies; the dedupe is scoped to watcher startup, leaving duplicate accounts addressable for outbound sends, status, and capability listings, and <code>openclaw doctor</code> flags the redundant account with a rebinding hint. Fixes #65141. (#86705) Thanks @swang430.</li>
+<li>CLI: reject explicit port numbers above 65535 before they reach Gateway or Node bind paths. Fixes #83900. (#84008) Thanks @hclsys.</li>

+<li>Memory/search: scan the JS-side fallback vector path (used when the sqlite-vec index is unavailable or has a mismatched dimension) in bounded rowid batches and yield to the event loop between batches so large chunk tables can no longer pin the Node.js main thread for multi-second windows. Also keeps the SQL prepared statement rooted in a local so node:sqlite cannot finalize it mid-scan under heap pressure. Fixes #81172. Thanks @dev23xyz-oss.</li>
+<li>Memory Wiki: preserve fs-safe diagnostics when bridge source page writes fail for non-symlink filesystem safety reasons, so directory collisions are reported with the underlying error code. (#83776) Thanks @TurboTheTurtle.</li>

+<li>Control UI: render live tool progress from session-scoped <code>session.tool</code> Gateway events so externally started runs show their tool cards in the active session. (#83734) Thanks @TurboTheTurtle.</li>
+<li>Outbound: resolve send-capable channel plugins from the active runtime registry when the pinned startup registry only has setup metadata. (#83733) Thanks @TurboTheTurtle.</li>
+<li>Discord: preserve streamed reply previews when recovered tool-warning finals are delivered before or after the assistant's final reply. (#84169) Thanks @neeravmakwana.</li>
+<li>Control UI: keep the chat delete confirmation popover clamped inside the visible viewport on small screens. (#83804) Thanks @ThiagoCAltoe.</li>
+<li>Browser: enforce current-tab URL allowlist checks for <code>/act</code> evaluate/batch actions and <code>/highlight</code> routes while leaving tab-management actions unblocked. (#78523)</li>
+<li>CI: require real-behavior-proof verdict markers to come from the ClawSweeper GitHub App before accepting exact-head proof. (#83692)</li>
+<li>Models: show the effective OpenAI/Codex auth profile in <code>/models</code> provider headers instead of falling back to the OpenAI env-key label. (#83697) Thanks @yu-xin-c.</li>
+<li>CLI: include active bundled loopback MCP tools in CLI system prompts and reset provider-side CLI sessions when that prompt-visible tool surface changes. (#83785) Thanks @TurboTheTurtle.</li>
+<li>Browser: keep a profile <code>cdpPort</code> when its <code>cdpUrl</code> omits a port, while still letting explicitly written URL ports win. (#82166) Thanks @Marvae.</li>
+<li>Agents/image generation: allow distinct <code>image_generate</code> prompts to start separate session-backed background tasks while same-prompt retries still return the active task status. (#83614) Thanks @Elarwei001.</li>

+<li>Control UI: stop the chat reading indicator from sticking after an assistant response finishes. (#83515) Thanks @njuboy11.</li>
+<li>Skills: reject empty or whitespace-only skill names and descriptions during quick validation. (#27061)</li>
+<li>Sessions: skip trailing custom transcript entries when checking tail assistant replies so embedded CLI gap-fill does not duplicate canonical assistant output. (#83635) Thanks @yaoyi1222.</li>
+<li>Memory Wiki: keep <code>wiki_lint</code> tool output path-safe by reporting vault-internal lint reports as relative paths in tool text and details while preserving absolute report paths for CLI/file callers. (#83439) Thanks @LLagoon3.</li>
+<li>Telegram: keep verbose tool progress visible without mirroring non-final progress into active session transcripts, preventing embedded provider replies from aborting mid-run. (#83631) Thanks @kurplunkin.</li>
+<li>Telegram: log successful outbound text and media deliveries with account, chat, message, operation, thread, reply, silent, and chunk metadata while keeping message bodies out of logs. Fixes #83196. (#83247) Thanks @jrwrest.</li>

+<li>Codex app-server: complete OpenClaw dynamic tool diagnostics at the request boundary so successful, failed, timed out, aborted, and blocked tool calls do not leave active tool state behind. Fixes #83474. Thanks @rozmiarD.</li>
+<li>Gateway/config: keep config writes from failing on unrelated unresolved auth-profile SecretRefs while preserving live auth-profile runtime snapshots.</li>
+<li>Gateway/sessions: clear stored CLI provider resume bindings on non-subagent <code>/reset</code> so the next turn starts a fresh provider-side CLI conversation instead of resuming old context. (#83448) Thanks @jasonyliu.</li>

+<li>LM Studio: resolve env-template API keys like <code>${LMSTUDIO_API_KEY}</code> through the standard SecretInput path instead of sending the raw template as the bearer token, and preserve header-auth and discovery-key precedence when the template is unset. Fixes #80495. (#80568) Thanks @MonkeyLeeT.</li>
+<li>Discord/subagents: route the initial reply from thread-bound delegated sessions into the bound Discord thread instead of the parent channel. Fixes #83170. (#83172) Thanks @100menotu001.</li>

+<li>Gateway: add rollback protocol-mismatch diagnostics, including client protocol ranges in Gateway logs and deep status/doctor hints for stale client processes. Fixes #82841. (#82908)</li>
+<li>Agents/subagents: keep successful keep-mode completion payloads pending after final-delivery retry exhaustion, so requester recovery no longer loses final subagent results. Fixes #82583. (#82999) Thanks @joshavant.</li>
+<li>Gateway/auth: allow same-host trusted-proxy callers to use the documented local direct <code>gateway.auth.password</code> fallback after revisiting the #78684 fail-closed policy, while keeping token fallback rejected and forwarded-header requests on the trusted-proxy path. Fixes #82607. (#82953) Thanks @joshavant.</li>
+<li>Agents/subagents: wait for queued completion handoffs to reach the parent transcript before marking them announced, preventing busy parent runs from cleaning up before observing child results. Fixes #82913. (#83039) Thanks @joshavant.</li>
+<li>Agents/subagents: route group/channel subagent completions through message-tool-only handoffs when required and keep active-requester wake failures from dropping completion delivery. Fixes #82803. Thanks @galiniliev, @yozakura-ava, and @moeedahmed.</li>
+<li>Memory-core: scan persisted memory source sessions on startup, comparing on-disk transcripts against the index and marking only missing/newer/resized files dirty for incremental sync. Fixes #82341. (#82341) Thanks @giodl73-repo.</li>
+<li>Telegram: keep the top-level default account in the account list when named accounts or bindings are added alongside top-level credentials, preserving default polling while still letting named-only configs resolve to a single account. Fixes #82794. (#82794) Thanks @giodl73-repo.</li>
+<li>CLI/models: reuse command-scoped plugin metadata across model listing, provider catalog, auth, and synthetic-auth checks, restoring fast <code>openclaw models</code> runs for plugin-heavy installs. Fixes #82881. (#83033) Thanks @joshavant.</li>
+<li>CLI/channels: show configured official external channels such as Discord in <code>openclaw channels list</code> when their plugin package is missing, including the install and doctor repair command instead of reporting no configured channels. Fixes #82813.</li>
+<li>Signal: preserve mixed-case group IDs through routing and session persistence so group auto-replies keep delivering after updates. Fixes #82827.</li>
+<li>Agents/tools: keep the <code>message</code> tool available in embedded runs when it is explicitly allowed through <code>tools.alsoAllow</code> or runtime tool allowlists, so channel plugins with custom reply delivery can still use configured message sends. Fixes #82833. Thanks @cn1313113.</li>
+<li>WhatsApp: honor forced document delivery for outbound image, GIF, and video media so <code>forceDocument</code>/<code>asDocument</code> sends preserve original media bytes instead of using compressed media payloads. (#79272) Thanks @itsuzef.</li>
+<li>WhatsApp: name outbound document attachments from their MIME type when no filename is provided, so PDF and CSV sends arrive as <code>file.pdf</code> and <code>file.csv</code> instead of an extensionless <code>file</code>. Thanks @mcaxtr.</li>
+<li>Process/diagnostics: report active lane blockers in lane wait warnings so <code>queueAhead=0</code> no longer hides commands waiting behind active work. Fixes #82791. (#82792) Thanks @galiniliev.</li>
+<li>Process/diagnostics: stop counting the active processing turn as queued backlog in liveness warnings so transient max-only event-loop spikes do not surface as gateway warnings.</li>
+<li>Agents/replies: classify provider conversation-state rejections and return a clear message-channel error instead of auto-resetting or falling back to a generic runner failure. (#82616) Thanks @dutifulbob.</li>
+<li>Browser plugin: trust managed Chrome CDP diagnostics when launch HTTP probes race cold-start readiness, avoiding false startup failures. Fixes #82904. (#82986) Thanks @kmanan and @hclsys.</li>
+<li>Android: prompt before replacing a changed Gateway TLS thumbprint, showing the old and new SHA-256 fingerprints so users can accept expected certificate rotations instead of hard failing on pin mismatch. (#83077) Thanks @sliekens.</li>
+<li>CLI/status: render extra gateway-like service diagnostics as warning/info output instead of error output. Fixes #46930. (#82922) thanks @giodl73-repo.</li>
+<li>Agents/failover: classify Moonshot/Kimi exhausted-balance HTTP 429 payloads as billing instead of generic rate limits, preserving billing guidance and fallback behavior. Fixes #43447. (#83079) Thanks @leno23.</li>
+<li>Plugin SDK: bundle <code>openclaw/plugin-sdk/zod</code> into the published package artifact and verify the packed zod subpath stays self-contained, so pnpm global installs can register plugins without a package-local <code>zod</code> symlink. Fixes #78398. (#78515) Thanks @ggzeng.</li>
+<li>Providers/Google: drop compaction-truncated Gemini thought signatures before replay so malformed Base64 no longer aborts the next assistant turn. (#82995) Thanks @wAngByg.</li>
+<li>Gateway/mobile: allow paired iOS and Android clients to refresh same-family OS metadata on authenticated reconnect instead of requiring a new approval. (#83490) Thanks @ngutman.</li>
+<li>WhatsApp: treat <code>upload-file</code> as a supported media send intent by lowering path/URL uploads through the channel's normal send-media transport. (#81883) Thanks @ngutman.</li>
+<li>iOS: end Live Activities when OpenClaw is connected, idle, or disconnected, and show compact attention states for approval-required reconnects. (#83597) Thanks @ngutman.</li>
+<li>Control UI: hide child nav items when collapsing the active sidebar group. Fixes #42167. (#42223) Thanks @Aroool.</li>
+<li>CI/proof: skip the real-behavior-proof gate for private org maintainers by minting a least-privilege (<code>members: read</code>) GitHub App token and checking active membership in the <code>maintainer</code> team, instead of treating <code>author_association=CONTRIBUTOR</code> as definitively external. (#83418) Thanks @romneyda.</li>

@@ -218,7 +218,6 @@ Current OpenClaw Android implication:
 - Google Play build excludes SMS send/search, Call Log search, and recent-photo access unless the product is intentionally positioned and approved under the relevant policy exception.
 - The repo now ships this split as Android product flavors:
   - `play`: removes `READ_SMS`, `SEND_SMS`, `READ_CALL_LOG`, `READ_MEDIA_IMAGES`, `READ_MEDIA_VISUAL_USER_SELECTED`, and `READ_EXTERNAL_STORAGE`; hides SMS, Call Log, and Photos surfaces in onboarding, settings, and advertised node capabilities.
-  - Installed-app listing is user controlled. `device.apps` is advertised only after the user enables **Settings > Phone Capabilities > Installed Apps**. The command defaults to launcher-visible apps and does not require `QUERY_ALL_PACKAGES`.
   - `thirdParty`: keeps the full permission set and the existing SMS / Call Log / Photos functionality.
