 - Pass `--json` for machine-readable summaries.
 - Per-phase logs land under `/tmp/openclaw-parallels-*`.
 - Do not run local and gateway agent turns in parallel on the same fresh workspace or session.
+- Hard-cap every top-level Parallels lane with host `timeout --foreground` (or `gtimeout --foreground` if that is the available binary) so a stalled install, snapshot switch, or `prlctl exec` transport cannot consume the rest of the testing window. Defaults:
+  - macOS: `75m`
+  - Linux: `75m`
+  - Windows: `90m`
+  - aggregate npm-update wrapper: `150m`
+    If a lane hits the cap, stop there, inspect the newest `/tmp/openclaw-parallels-*` run directory and phase log, then fix or rerun the smallest affected lane. Do not keep waiting on a capped lane.
+- Actual OpenClaw npm install/update phases are a stricter budget than whole lanes: they should finish within 5 minutes. If a phase named `install-main`, `install-latest`, `install-baseline`, `install-baseline-package`, `update-dev`, or same-guest `openclaw update` exceeds 300s, treat it as a failure/harness bug and start diagnosis from that phase log. Do not wait for a longer lane cap.
+- For a full OS matrix, prefer running independent guest-family lanes in parallel when host capacity allows:
+  - `timeout --foreground 75m pnpm test:parallels:macos -- --json`
+  - `timeout --foreground 90m pnpm test:parallels:windows -- --json`
+  - `timeout --foreground 75m pnpm test:parallels:linux -- --json`
+    Keep each lane in its own shell/session and track the run directory for each one.
 - Do not run multiple smoke lanes against the same guest family at once. Tahoe lanes share the host HTTP port, and Windows/Linux lanes can collide on snapshot restore/start state if two jobs touch the same VM concurrently.
+- Do not run the aggregate `pnpm test:parallels:npm-update` wrapper in parallel with individual macOS/Windows/Linux smoke lanes; it touches the same guest families and snapshots.
+- Do not start Parallels lanes while any host command may rebuild, clean, or restage `dist` (`pnpm build`, `pnpm ui:build`, `pnpm release:check`, `pnpm test:install:smoke`, npm pack/install smoke, or Docker lanes that run package/build prep). Run the build/package gates first, let them finish, then start the VM matrix. Concurrent `dist` mutation can make host `npm pack` fail with missing files and wastes a full VM cycle.
+- While running or optimizing the matrix, record wall-clock duration per lane and the slowest phase from `/tmp/openclaw-parallels-*` logs. Use that timing before changing smoke order, timeouts, or helper behavior.
 - If `main` is moving under active multi-agent work, prefer a detached worktree pinned to one commit for long Parallels suites. The smoke scripts now verify the packed tgz commit instead of live `git rev-parse HEAD`, but a pinned worktree still avoids noisy rebuild/version drift during reruns.
 - For `openclaw update --channel dev` lanes, remember the guest clones GitHub `main`, not your local worktree. If a local fix exists but the rerun still fails inside the cloned dev checkout, do not treat that as disproof of the fix until the branch has been pushed.
 - For `prlctl exec`, pass the VM name before `--current-user` (`prlctl exec "$VM" --current-user ...`), not the other way around.

 - Preferred entrypoint: `pnpm test:parallels:npm-update`
-- Flow: fresh snapshot -> install npm package baseline -> smoke -> install current main tgz on the same guest -> smoke again.
+- Required coverage: every release/update regression run must include both lanes:
+  - fresh snapshot -> install requested package/baseline -> smoke
+  - same guest baseline -> run the guest's installed `openclaw update ...` command -> smoke again
+- The update lane must exercise OpenClaw's internal updater. Do not count a direct `npm install -g <tgz-or-spec>` or harness-side package swap as update-flow coverage; those are install smokes only.
+- For published targets, install the old baseline package first (for example `openclaw@2026.4.9`), then run the installed guest CLI with the intended channel/tag (for example `openclaw update --channel beta --yes --json`) and verify `openclaw --version`, `openclaw update status --json`, gateway RPC, and an agent turn after the command.
+- For unpublished targets, pack the candidate on the host, serve the `.tgz` over the harness HTTP server, and point the guest updater at that served package. Prefer `openclaw update --tag http://<host-ip>:<port>/openclaw-<version>.tgz --yes --json`; when channel persistence also matters, pass `--channel <stable|beta>` and set `OPENCLAW_UPDATE_PACKAGE_SPEC` to the same served URL in the guest update environment. The command under test must still be `openclaw update`, not direct npm.
+- For unpublished local-fix validation, remember the old baseline updater code still controls the first hop. A fix that lives only in the new updater code cannot change that already-running old process; the served candidate must either keep package/plugin metadata compatible with the baseline host or the baseline itself must include the updater fix.
 - For beta/stable verification, resolve the tag immediately before the run (`npm view openclaw@beta version dist.tarball` or `npm view openclaw@latest ...`). Tags can move while a long VM matrix is already running; restart the matrix when the intended prerelease appears after an earlier registry 404/tag-lag check.
 - Source Peter's profile in the host shell (`set -a; source "$HOME/.profile"; set +a`) before OpenAI/Anthropic lanes. Do not print profile contents or env dumps; pass provider secrets through the guest exec environment.
 - Same-guest update verification should set the default model explicitly to `openai/gpt-5.4` before the agent turn and use a fresh explicit `--session-id` so old session model state does not leak into the check.

+description: Maintainer-only workflow for handling GitHub Secret Scanning alerts on OpenClaw. Use when Codex needs to triage, redact, clean up, and resolve secret leakage found in issue comments, issue bodies, PR comments, or other GitHub content.
+---
+
+# OpenClaw Secret Scanning Maintainer
+
+**Maintainer-only.** This skill requires repo admin / maintainer permissions to edit or delete other users' comments and resolve secret scanning alerts.
+
+Use this skill when processing alerts from `https://github.com/openclaw/openclaw/security/secret-scanning`.
+
+**Language rule:** All notification comments and replacement comments MUST be written in English.
+
+## Script
+
+All mechanical operations (API calls, temp file management, security enforcements) are handled by:
+
+```
+$REPO_ROOT/.agents/skills/openclaw-secret-scanning-maintainer/scripts/secret-scanning.mjs
+```
+
+The script enforces:
+
+- `hide_secret=true` on all alert fetches (no plaintext secrets in stdout)
+- `mktemp` with random UUIDs for all temp files
+- `-F body=@file` for all body uploads (no inline shell quoting)
+- Notification templates branched by location type
+- Never prints `.secret` or `.body` to stdout
+
+## Overall Flow
+
+Supports single or multiple alerts. For multiple alerts, process in ascending order.
+
+For each alert:
+
+1. **Identify** — `fetch-alert` + `fetch-content` to get metadata and body
+2. **Decide** — Agent reads the body file, identifies all secrets, produces redacted version
+3. **Redact** — `redact-body` for issue/PR body; skip for comments (delete directly)
+4. **Purge** — `delete-comment` + `recreate-comment` for comments; cannot purge body history
+5. **Notify** — `notify` posts the right template per location type
+6. **Resolve** — `resolve` closes the alert
+7. **Summary** — `summary` prints formatted results
+
+## Step 1: Identify
+
+```bash
+# List all open alerts
+node secret-scanning.mjs list-open
+
+# Fetch specific alert metadata + locations
+node secret-scanning.mjs fetch-alert <NUMBER>
+
+# Fetch content for each location (saves body to temp file)
+node secret-scanning.mjs fetch-content '<location-json>'
+```
+
+The `fetch-content` output includes:
+
+- `body_file`: path to temp file with full body content
+- `author`: who posted it
+- `issue_number` / `pr_number`: where it is
+- `edit_history_count`: number of existing edits
+- `type`: location type for routing
+- For `discussion_comment`, it also includes `comment_node_id`, `discussion_node_id`, and `reply_to_node_id` when the original comment was a reply.
+
+### Location type routing
+
+| type                          | Flow                                          |
+| ----------------------------- | --------------------------------------------- |
+| `issue_comment`               | Comment: delete+recreate                      |
+| `pull_request_comment`        | Comment: delete+recreate                      |
+| `pull_request_review_comment` | Comment: delete+recreate                      |
+| `discussion_comment`          | Discussion comment: delete+recreate (GraphQL) |
+| `issue_body`                  | Body: redact in place                         |
+| `pull_request_body`           | Body: redact in place                         |
+| `commit`                      | Notify only                                   |
+| _other_                       | Skip and report                               |
+
+## Step 2: Decide (Agent)
+
+The agent reads the body file from `fetch-content` output and:
+
+1. Identifies ALL secrets in the content (there may be more than the alert flagged)
+2. Replaces each secret with `[REDACTED <secret_type>]` — **no partial values, no prefix/suffix**
+3. Saves the redacted content to a new temp file
+
+This is the only step that requires semantic understanding. Everything else is mechanical.
+
+## Step 3: Redact
+
+### For comments (issue_comment / PR comments)
+
+**Do NOT redact.** Skip directly to Step 4 (delete + recreate). PATCHing before DELETE creates an unnecessary edit history revision.
+
+### For issue_body / pull_request_body
+
+```bash
+node secret-scanning.mjs redact-body <issue|pr> <NUMBER> <redacted-body-file>
+```
+
+## Step 4: Purge Edit History
+
+### Comments — Delete and Recreate
+
+For issue/PR comments:
+
+```bash
+# Delete original (all edit history gone)
+node secret-scanning.mjs delete-comment <COMMENT_ID>
+
+# Recreate with redacted content
+node secret-scanning.mjs recreate-comment <ISSUE_NUMBER> <body-file>
+```
+
+For discussion comments (uses GraphQL):
+
+```bash
+# Delete original
+node secret-scanning.mjs delete-discussion-comment <COMMENT_NODE_ID>
+
+# Recreate with redacted content
+node secret-scanning.mjs recreate-discussion-comment <DISCUSSION_NODE_ID> <body-file> [REPLY_TO_NODE_ID]
+```
+
+The `fetch-content` output for `discussion_comment` includes `comment_node_id` and `discussion_node_id` for these commands. When the original discussion comment was a reply, it also includes `reply_to_node_id`; pass that optional third argument so the redacted replacement stays in the original thread.
+
+The recreated comment should follow this format:
+
+```
+> **Note from maintainer (@<LOGIN>):** The original comment by @<AUTHOR> has been removed due to secret leakage. Below is the redacted version of the original content.
+
+---
+
+<redacted original content>
+```
+
+### issue_body / pull_request_body — Cannot Purge
+
+Editing creates an edit history revision with the pre-edit plaintext. This cannot be cleared via API.
+
+**Output to maintainer terminal only (never in public comments):**
+
+```
+⚠️ Issue/PR body edit history still contains plaintext secrets.
+Contact GitHub Support to purge: https://support.github.com/contact
+Request purge of issue/PR #{NUMBER} userContentEdits.
+```
+
+> **CRITICAL:** Do NOT mention edit history or the "edited" button in any public comment or resolution_comment.
+
+### Commits
+
+Cannot clean. Notify author to delete branch or force-push (for unmerged PRs).
+
+## Step 5: Notify
+
+```bash
+node secret-scanning.mjs notify <TARGET> <AUTHOR> <LOCATION_TYPE> <SECRET_TYPES> [REPLY_TO_NODE_ID]
+```
+
+- For non-discussion types, `<TARGET>` is the issue/PR number.
+- For `discussion_comment`, `<TARGET>` is the `discussion_node_id` returned by `fetch-content`.
+- For reply-style `discussion_comment` locations, pass the optional `reply_to_node_id` from `fetch-content` so the notification stays in the same thread.
+
+Secret types are comma-separated: `"Discord Bot Token,Feishu App Secret"`
+
+The script picks the right template:
+
+- **comment types**: "your comment … removed and replaced"
+- **body types**: "your issue/PR description … redacted in place"
+- **commit**: "code you committed"
+
+## Step 6: Resolve
+
+```bash
+node secret-scanning.mjs resolve <ALERT_NUMBER>
+# or with custom resolution:
+node secret-scanning.mjs resolve <ALERT_NUMBER> revoked "Custom comment"
+```
+
+Resolution is `revoked` by default. As maintainers we cannot control whether users rotate — our responsibility is to redact + notify. The `revoked` means "this secret should be considered leaked", not "I confirmed it was revoked".
+
+## Step 7: Summary
+
+After processing, create a JSON results file and pass it to the summary command:
+
+```bash
+node secret-scanning.mjs summary /tmp/results.json
+```
+
+The script outputs a block delimited by `---BEGIN SUMMARY---` and `---END SUMMARY---`. **You MUST output the content between these markers verbatim to the user. Do NOT rephrase, reformat, abbreviate, or create your own summary.** The script already includes full URLs for every alert and location.
+
+The JSON format:
+
+```json
+[
+  {
+    "number": 72,
+    "secret_type": "Discord Bot Token",
+    "location_label": "Issue #63101 comment",
+    "location_url": "https://github.com/openclaw/openclaw/issues/63101#issuecomment-xxx",
+    "actions": "Deleted+Recreated+Notified",
+    "history_cleared": true
+  }
+]
+```
+
+For unsupported types, add `"skipped": true, "unsupported_type": "<type>"`.
+
+## Safety Rules
+
+- **Agent reads content, identifies secrets, produces redaction.** Script handles all API calls.
+- **Never include any portion of a secret** in public comments, redaction markers, or terminal output.
+- **Never include alert URLs or numbers** in public comments.
+- **For comments, skip PATCH — go directly to DELETE + recreate.**
+- **Never mention edit history, "edited" button, or commit SHAs** in any public content.
+- **Ask for confirmation** before deleting any comment.
+- **One alert at a time** unless user requests batch.
+- **All public comments in English.**
+- **Skip unsupported location types** and report in summary.

-## Docs Linking (Mintlify)
+## Scoped Workflow Guides
 
-- Docs are hosted on Mintlify (docs.openclaw.ai).
-- Internal doc links in `docs/**/*.md`: root-relative, no `.md`/`.mdx` (example: `[Config](/configuration)`).
-- When working with documentation, read the mintlify skill.
-- For docs, UI copy, and picker lists, order services/providers alphabetically unless the section is explicitly describing runtime behavior (for example auto-detection or execution order).
-- Section cross-references: use anchors on root-relative paths (example: `[Hooks](/configuration#hooks)`).
-- Doc headings and anchors: avoid em dashes and apostrophes in headings because they break Mintlify anchor links.
-- When the user asks for links, reply with full `https://docs.openclaw.ai/...` URLs (not root-relative).
-- When you touch docs, end the reply with the `https://docs.openclaw.ai/...` URLs you referenced.
-- README (GitHub): keep absolute docs URLs (`https://docs.openclaw.ai/...`) so links work on GitHub.
-- Docs content must be generic: no personal device names/hostnames/paths; use placeholders like `user@gateway-host` and “gateway host”.
-
-## Docs i18n (generated publish locales)
-
-- Foreign-language docs are not maintained in this repo. The generated publish output lives in the separate `openclaw/docs` repo (often cloned locally as the sibling `openclaw-docs` directory); do not add or edit localized docs under `docs/<locale>/**` here.
-- Those localized docs are autogenerated. Treat this repo's English docs plus glossary files as the source of truth, and let the publish/translation pipeline update `openclaw/docs`.
-- Pipeline: update English docs here → adjust the matching `docs/.i18n/glossary.<locale>.json` entries → let the publish-repo sync + `scripts/docs-i18n` run in `openclaw/docs` / local `openclaw-docs` clone → apply targeted fixes only if instructed.
-- Before rerunning `scripts/docs-i18n`, add glossary entries for any new technical terms, page titles, or short nav labels that must stay in English or use a fixed translation (for example `Doctor` or `Polls`).
-- `pnpm docs:check-i18n-glossary` enforces glossary coverage for changed English doc titles and short internal doc labels before translation reruns.
-- Translation memory lives in generated `docs/.i18n/*.tm.jsonl` files in the publish repo.
-- See `docs/.i18n/README.md`.
-- The pipeline can be slow/inefficient; if it’s dragging, ping @jospalmbier on Discord instead of hacking around it.
-
-## Control UI i18n (generated in repo)
-
-- Control UI foreign-language locale bundles are generated in this repo; do not hand-edit `ui/src/i18n/locales/*.ts` for non-English locales or `ui/src/i18n/.i18n/*` unless a targeted generated-output fix is explicitly requested.
-- Source of truth is `ui/src/i18n/locales/en.ts` plus the generator/runtime wiring in `scripts/control-ui-i18n.ts`, `ui/src/i18n/lib/types.ts`, and `ui/src/i18n/lib/registry.ts`.
-- Pipeline: update English control UI strings and locale wiring here → run `pnpm ui:i18n:sync` (or let `Control UI Locale Refresh` do it) → commit the regenerated locale bundles and `.i18n` metadata.
-- If the control UI locale outputs drift, regenerate them; do not manually translate or hand-maintain the generated locale files by default.

 ### Fixes
 
+- Matrix/commands: keep DM pairing-store approvals out of room control-command authorization so DM-paired-only senders can no longer run owner-style commands in Matrix rooms without explicit room sender authorization.
+- Docker/build: verify `@matrix-org/matrix-sdk-crypto-nodejs` native bindings with `find` under `node_modules` instead of a hardcoded `.pnpm/...` path so pnpm v10+ virtual-store layouts no longer fail the image build. (#67143) thanks @ly85206559.
+- Matrix/E2EE: keep startup bootstrap conservative for passwordless token-auth bots, still attempt the guarded repair pass without requiring `channels.matrix.password`, and document the remaining password-UIA limitation. (#66228) Thanks @SARAMALI15792.
+- Cron/announce delivery: suppress mixed-content isolated cron announce replies that end with `NO_REPLY` so trailing silent sentinels no longer leak summary text to the target channel. (#65004) thanks @neo1027144-creator.
+- Plugins/bundled channels: partition bundled channel lazy caches by active bundled root so `OPENCLAW_BUNDLED_PLUGINS_DIR` flips stop reusing stale plugin, setup, secrets, and runtime state. (#67200) Thanks @gumadeiras.

+- GitHub Copilot/memory search: add a GitHub Copilot embedding provider for memory search, and expose a dedicated Copilot embedding host helper so plugins can reuse the transport while honoring remote overrides, token refresh, and safer payload validation. (#61718) Thanks @feiskyer and @vincentkoc.
+- Agents/local models: add experimental `agents.defaults.experimental.localModelLean: true` to drop heavyweight default tools like `browser`, `cron`, and `message`, reducing prompt size for weaker local-model setups without changing the normal path. (#66495) Thanks @ImLukeF.
+- Packaging/plugins: localize bundled plugin runtime deps to their owning extensions, trim the published docs payload, and tighten install/package-manager guardrails so published builds stay leaner and core stops carrying extension-owned runtime baggage. (#67099) Thanks @vincentkoc.
+- QA/Matrix: split Matrix live QA into a source-linked `qa-matrix` runner and keep repo-private `qa-*` surfaces out of packaged and published builds. (#66723) Thanks @gumadeiras.
+- Docs/showcase: add a scannable hero, complete section jump links, and a responsive video grid for community examples. (#48493) Thanks @jchopard69.
+
+### Fixes
+
+- Security/approvals: redact secrets in exec approval prompts so inline approval review can no longer leak credential material in rendered prompt content. (#61077, #64790)
+- CLI/configure: re-read the persisted config hash after writes so config updates stop failing with stale-hash races. (#64188, #66528)
+- CLI/update: prune stale packaged `dist` chunks after npm upgrades and keep downgrade/verify inventory checks compat-safe so global upgrades stop failing on stale chunk imports. (#66959) Thanks @obviyus.
+- Onboarding/CLI: fix channel-selection crashes on globally installed CLI setups during onboarding. (#66736)
+- Video generation/live tests: bound provider polling for live video smoke, default to the fast non-FAL text-to-video path, and use a one-second lobster prompt so release validation no longer waits indefinitely on slow provider queues.
+- Memory-core/QMD `memory_get`: reject reads of arbitrary workspace markdown paths and only allow canonical memory files (`MEMORY.md`, `memory.md`, `DREAMS.md`, `dreams.md`, `memory/**`) plus exact paths of active indexed QMD workspace documents, so the QMD memory backend can no longer be used as a generic workspace-file read shim that bypasses `read` tool-policy denials. (#66026) Thanks @eleqtrizit.
+- Cron/agents: forward embedded-run tool policy and internal event params into the attempt layer so `--tools` allowlists, cron-owned message-tool suppression, explicit message targeting, and command-path internal events all take effect at runtime again. (#62675) Thanks @hexsprite.
+- Setup/providers: guard preferred-provider lookup during setup so malformed plugin metadata with a missing provider id no longer crashes the wizard with `Cannot read properties of undefined (reading 'trim')`. (#66649) Thanks @Tianworld.
+- Matrix/security: normalize sandboxed profile avatar params, preserve `mxc://` avatar URLs, and surface gmail watcher stop failures during reload. (#64701) Thanks @slepybear.
+- Telegram/documents: drop leaked binary caption bytes from inbound Telegram text handling so document uploads like `.mobi` or `.epub` no longer explode prompt token counts. (#66663) Thanks @joelnishanth.
+- Gateway/auth: resolve the active gateway bearer per-request on the HTTP server and the HTTP upgrade handler via `getResolvedAuth()`, mirroring the WebSocket path, so a secret rotated through `secrets.reload` or config hot-reload stops authenticating on `/v1/*`, `/tools/invoke`, plugin HTTP routes, and the canvas upgrade path immediately instead of remaining valid on HTTP until gateway restart. (#66651) Thanks @mmaps.
+- Agents/compaction: cap the compaction reserve-token floor to the model context window so small-context local models (e.g. Ollama with 16K tokens) no longer trigger context-overflow errors or infinite compaction loops on every prompt. (#65671) Thanks @openperf.
+- Agents/OpenAI Responses: classify the exact `Unknown error (no error details in response)` transport failure as failover reason `unknown` so assistant/model fallback still runs for that no-details failure path. (#65254) Thanks @OpenCodeEngineer.
+- Models/probe: surface invalid-model probe failures as `format` instead of `unknown` in `models list --probe`, and lock the invalid-model fallback path in with regression coverage. (#50028) Thanks @xiwuqi.
+- Agents/failover: classify OpenAI-compatible `finish_reason: network_error` stream failures as timeout so model fallback retries continue instead of stopping with an unknown failover reason. (#61784) thanks @lawrence3699.
+- Onboarding/channels: normalize channel setup metadata before discovery and validation so malformed or mixed-shape channel plugin metadata no longer breaks setup and onboarding channel lists. (#66706) Thanks @darkamenosa.
+- Slack/native commands: fix option menus for slash commands such as `/verbose` when Slack renders native buttons by giving each button a unique action ID while still routing them through the shared `openclaw_cmdarg*` listener. Thanks @Wangmerlyn.
+- Feishu/webhook: harden the webhook transport and card-action replay guards to fail closed on missing `encryptKey` and blank callback tokens — refuse to start the webhook transport without an `encryptKey`, reject unsigned requests when no key is present instead of accepting them, and drop blank card-action tokens before the dedupe claim and dispatcher. Defense-in-depth over the already-closed monitor-account layer. (#66707) Thanks @eleqtrizit.
+- Agents/workspace files: route `agents.files.get`, `agents.files.set`, and workspace listing through the shared `fs-safe` helpers (`openFileWithinRoot`/`readFileWithinRoot`/`writeFileWithinRoot`), reject symlink aliases for allowlisted agent files, and have `fs-safe` resolve opened-file real paths from the file descriptor before falling back to path-based `realpath` so a symlink swap between `open` and `realpath` can no longer redirect the validated path off the intended inode. (#66636) Thanks @eleqtrizit.
+- Gateway/MCP loopback: switch the `/mcp` bearer comparison from plain `!==` to constant-time `safeEqualSecret` (matching the convention every other auth surface in the codebase uses), and reject non-loopback browser-origin requests via `checkBrowserOrigin` before the auth gate runs. Loopback origins (`127.0.0.1:*`, `localhost:*`, same-origin) still go through, including the `localhost`↔`127.0.0.1` host mismatch that browsers flag as `Sec-Fetch-Site: cross-site`. (#66665) Thanks @eleqtrizit.
+- Auto-reply/billing: classify pure billing cooldown fallback summaries from structured fallback reasons so users see billing guidance instead of the generic failure reply. (#66363) Thanks @Rohan5commit.
+- Agents/fallback: preserve the original prompt body on model fallback retries with session history so the retrying model keeps the active task instead of only seeing a generic continue message. (#66029) Thanks @WuKongAI-CMU.
+- Reply/secrets: resolve active reply channel/account SecretRefs before reply-run message-action discovery so channel token SecretRefs (for example Discord) do not degrade into discovery-time unresolved-secret failures. (#66796) Thanks @joshavant.
+- Agents/Anthropic: ignore non-positive Anthropic Messages token overrides and fail locally when no positive token budget remains, so invalid `max_tokens` values no longer reach the provider API. (#66664) thanks @jalehman
+- Agents/context engines: preserve prompt-only token counts, not full request totals, when deferred maintenance reuses after-turn runtime context so background compaction bookkeeping matches the active prompt window. (#66820) thanks @jalehman.
+- BlueBubbles/inbound: add a persistent file-backed GUID dedupe so MessagePoller webhook replays after BB Server restart or reconnect no longer cause the agent to re-reply to already-handled messages. (#19176, #12053, #66816) Thanks @omarshahine.
+- Secrets/plugins/status: align SecretRef inspect-vs-strict handling across plugin preload, read-only status/agents surfaces, and runtime auth paths so unresolved refs no longer crash read-only CLI flows while runtime-required non-env refs stay strict. (#66818) Thanks @joshavant.
+- Memory/dreaming: stop ordinary transcripts that merely quote the dream-diary prompt from being classified as internal dreaming runs and silently dropped from session recall ingestion. (#66852) Thanks @gumadeiras.
+- Telegram/documents: sanitize binary reply context and ZIP-like archive extraction so `.epub` and `.mobi` uploads can no longer leak raw binary into prompt context through reply metadata or archive-to-`text/plain` coercion. (#66877) Thanks @martinfrancois.
+- Telegram/native commands: restore plugin-registry-backed auto defaults for native commands and native skills so Telegram slash commands keep registering when `commands.native` and `commands.nativeSkills` stay on `auto`. (#66843) Thanks @kashevk0.
+- OpenRouter/Qwen3: parse `reasoning_details` stream deltas as thinking content without skipping same-chunk tool calls, so Qwen3 replies no longer fail empty on OpenRouter and mixed reasoning/tool-call chunks still execute normally. (#66905) Thanks @bladin.
+- fix(bluebubbles): replay missed webhook messages after gateway restart via a persistent per-account cursor and `/api/v1/message/query?after=<ts>` pass, so messages delivered while the gateway was down no longer disappear. Uses the existing `processMessage` path and is deduped by #66816's inbound GUID cache. (#66857, #66721) Thanks @omarshahine.
+- Telegram/native commands: keep Telegram command-sync cache process-local so gateway restarts re-register the menu instead of trusting stale on-disk sync state after Telegram cleared commands out-of-band. (#66730) Thanks @nightq.
+- Audio/self-hosted STT: restore `models.providers.*.request.allowPrivateNetwork` for audio transcription so private or LAN speech-to-text endpoints stop tripping SSRF blocks after the v2026.4.14 regression. (#66692) Thanks @jhsmith409.
+- Auto-reply/media: allow workspace-rooted absolute media paths in auto-reply send flows so valid local media references no longer fail path validation. (#66689)
+- WhatsApp/Baileys media upload: harden encrypted upload handling so large outbound media sends avoid buffer spikes and reliability regressions. (#65966) Thanks @frankekn.
+- QQBot/cron: guard against undefined `event.content` in `parseFaceTags` and `filterInternalMarkers` so cron-triggered agent turns with no content payload no longer crash with `TypeError: Cannot read properties of undefined (reading 'startsWith')`. (#66302) Thanks @xinmotlanthua.
+- CLI/plugins: stop `--dangerously-force-unsafe-install` plugin installs from falling back to hook-pack installs after security scan failures, while still preserving non-security fallback behavior for real hook packs. (#58909) Thanks @hxy91819.
+- Claude CLI/sessions: classify `No conversation found with session ID` as `session_expired` so expired CLI-backed conversations clear the stale binding and recover on the next turn. (#65028) thanks @Ivan-Fn.
+- Context Engine: gracefully fall back to the legacy engine when a third-party context engine plugin fails at resolution time (unregistered id, factory throw, or contract violation), preventing a full gateway outage on every channel. (#66930) Thanks @openperf.
+- Control UI/chat: keep optimistic user message cards visible during active sends by deferring same-session history reloads until the active run ends, including aborted and errored runs. (#66997) Thanks @scotthuang and @vincentkoc.
+- Media/Slack: allow host-local CSV and Markdown uploads only when the fallback buffer actually decodes as text, so real plain-text files work without letting opaque non-text blobs renamed to `.csv` or `.md` slip past the host-read guard. (#67047) Thanks @Unayung.
+- Ollama/onboarding: split setup into `Cloud + Local`, `Cloud only`, and `Local only`, support direct `OLLAMA_API_KEY` cloud setup without a local daemon, and keep Ollama web search on the local-host path. (#67005) Thanks @obviyus.
+
+## 2026.4.14
+
+### Changes
+
+- OpenAI Codex/models: add forward-compat support for `gpt-5.4-pro`, including Codex pricing/limits and list/status visibility before the upstream catalog catches up. (#66453) Thanks @jepson-liu.
+- Telegram/forum topics: surface human topic names in agent context, prompt metadata, and plugin hook metadata by learning names from Telegram forum service messages. (#65973) Thanks @ptahdunbar.
+
+### Fixes
+
+- Agents/Ollama: forward the configured embedded-run timeout into the global undici stream timeout tuning so slow local Ollama runs no longer inherit the default stream cutoff instead of the operator-set run timeout. (#63175) Thanks @mindcraftreader and @vincentkoc.
+- Models/Codex: include `apiKey` in the codex provider catalog output so the Pi ModelRegistry validator no longer rejects the entry and silently drops all custom models from every provider in `models.json`. (#66180) Thanks @hoyyeva.
+- Tools/image+pdf: normalize configured provider/model refs before media-tool registry lookup so image and PDF tool runs stop rejecting valid Ollama vision models as unknown just because the tool path skipped the usual model-ref normalization step. (#59943) Thanks @yqli2420 and @vincentkoc.
+- Slack/interactions: apply the configured global `allowFrom` owner allowlist to channel block-action and modal interactive events, require an expected sender id for cross-verification, and reject ambiguous channel types so interactive triggers can no longer bypass the documented allowlist intent in channels without a `users` list. Open-by-default behavior is preserved when no allowlists are configured. (#66028) Thanks @eleqtrizit.
+- Media-understanding/attachments: fail closed when a local attachment path cannot be canonically resolved via `realpath`, so a `realpath` error can no longer downgrade the canonical-roots allowlist check to a non-canonical comparison; attachments that also have a URL still fall back to the network fetch path. (#66022) Thanks @eleqtrizit.
+- Agents/gateway-tool: reject `config.patch` and `config.apply` calls from the model-facing gateway tool when they would newly enable any flag enumerated by `openclaw security audit` (for example `dangerouslyDisableDeviceAuth`, `allowInsecureAuth`, `dangerouslyAllowHostHeaderOriginFallback`, `hooks.gmail.allowUnsafeExternalContent`, `tools.exec.applyPatch.workspaceOnly: false`); already-enabled flags pass through unchanged so non-dangerous edits in the same patch still apply, and direct authenticated operator RPC behavior is unchanged. (#62006) Thanks @eleqtrizit.
+- Google image generation: strip a trailing `/openai` suffix from configured Google base URLs only when calling the native Gemini image API so Gemini image requests stop 404ing without breaking explicit OpenAI-compatible Google endpoints. (#66445) Thanks @dapzthelegend.
+- Telegram/forum topics: persist learned topic names to the Telegram session sidecar store so agent context can keep using human topic names after a restart instead of relearning from future service metadata. (#66107) Thanks @obviyus.
+- Doctor/systemd: keep `openclaw doctor --repair` and service reinstall from re-embedding dotenv-backed secrets in user systemd units, while preserving newer inline overrides over stale state-dir `.env` values. (#66249) Thanks @tmimmanuel.
+- Ollama/OpenAI-compat: send `stream_options.include_usage` for Ollama streaming completions so local Ollama runs report real usage instead of falling back to bogus prompt-token counts that trigger premature compaction. (#64568) Thanks @xchunzhao and @vincentkoc.
+- Doctor/plugins: cache external `preferOver` catalog lookups within each plugin auto-enable pass so large `agents.list` configs no longer peg CPU and repeatedly reread plugin catalogs during doctor/plugins resolution. (#66246) Thanks @yfge.
+- GitHub Copilot/thinking: allow `github-copilot/gpt-5.4` to use `xhigh` reasoning so Copilot GPT-5.4 matches the rest of the GPT-5.4 family. (#50168) Thanks @jakepresent and @vincentkoc.
+- Memory/embeddings: preserve non-OpenAI provider prefixes when normalizing OpenAI-compatible embedding model refs so proxy-backed memory providers stop failing with `Unknown memory embedding provider`. (#66452) Thanks @jlapenna.
+- Agents/local models: clarify low-context preflight hints for self-hosted models, point config-backed caps at the relevant OpenClaw setting, and stop suggesting larger models when `agents.defaults.contextTokens` is the real limit. (#66236) Thanks @ImLukeF.
+- Browser/SSRF: restore hostname navigation under the default browser SSRF policy while keeping explicit strict mode reachable from config, and keep managed loopback CDP `/json/new` fallback requests on the local CDP control policy so browser follow-up fixes stop regressing normal navigation or self-blocking local CDP control. (#66386) Thanks @obviyus.
+- Models/Codex: canonicalize the legacy `openai-codex/gpt-5.4-codex` runtime alias to `openai-codex/gpt-5.4` while still honoring alias-specific and canonical per-model overrides. (#43060) Thanks @Sapientropic and @vincentkoc.
+- Browser/SSRF: preserve explicit strict browser navigation mode for legacy `browser.ssrfPolicy.allowPrivateNetwork: false` configs by normalizing the legacy alias to the canonical strict marker instead of silently widening those installs to the default non-strict hostname-navigation path.
+- Onboarding/custom providers: use `max_tokens=16` for OpenAI-compatible verification probes so stricter custom endpoints stop rejecting onboarding checks that only need a tiny completion. (#66450) Thanks @WuKongAI-CMU.
+- Agents/subagents: emit the subagent registry lazy-runtime stub on the stable dist path that both source and bundled runtime imports resolve, so the follow-up dist fix no longer still fails with `ERR_MODULE_NOT_FOUND` at runtime. (#66420) Thanks @obviyus.
+- Media-understanding/proxy env: auto-upgrade provider HTTP helper requests to trusted env-proxy mode only when `HTTP_PROXY`/`HTTPS_PROXY` is active and the target is not bypassed by `NO_PROXY`, so remote media-understanding and transcription requests stop failing local DNS pre-resolution in proxy-only environments without widening SSRF bypasses. (#52162) Thanks @mjamiv and @vincentkoc.
+- Telegram/media downloads: let Telegram media fetches trust an operator-configured explicit proxy for target DNS resolution after hostname-policy checks, so proxy-backed installs stop failing `could not download media` on Bot API file downloads after the DNS-pinning regression. (#66245) Thanks @dawei41468 and @vincentkoc.
+- Browser: keep loopback CDP readiness checks reachable under strict SSRF defaults so OpenClaw can reconnect to locally started managed Chrome. (#66354) Thanks @hxy91819.
+- Agents/context engine: compact engine-owned sessions from the first tool-loop delta and preserve ingest fallback when `afterTurn` is absent, so long-running tool loops can stay bounded without dropping engine state. (#63555) Thanks @Bikkies.
+- OpenAI Codex/auth: keep malformed Codex CLI auth-file diagnostics on the debug logger instead of stdout so interactive command output stays clean while auth read failures remain traceable. (#66451) Thanks @SimbaKingjoe.
+- Discord/native commands: return the real status card for native `/status` interactions instead of falling through to the synthetic `✅ Done.` ack when the generic dispatcher produces no visible reply. (#54629) Thanks @tkozzer and @vincentkoc.
+- Hooks/Ollama: let LLM-backed session-memory slug generation honor an explicit `agents.defaults.timeoutSeconds` override instead of always aborting after 15 seconds, so slow local Ollama runs stop silently dropping back to generic filenames. (#66237) Thanks @dmak and @vincentkoc.
+- Media/transcription: remap `.aac` filenames to `.m4a` for OpenAI-compatible audio uploads so AAC voice notes stop failing MIME-sensitive transcription endpoints. (#66446) Thanks @ben-z.
+- WhatsApp/Baileys media upload: keep encrypted upload POSTs streaming while still guarding generic-agent dispatcher wiring, so large outbound media sends avoid full-buffer RSS spikes and OOM regressions. (#65966) Thanks @frankekn.
+- UI/chat: replace marked.js with markdown-it so maliciously crafted markdown can no longer freeze the Control UI via ReDoS. (#46707) Thanks @zhangfnf.
+- Auto-reply/send policy: keep `sendPolicy: "deny"` from blocking inbound message processing, so the agent still runs its turn while all outbound delivery is suppressed for observer-style setups. (#65461, #53328) Thanks @omarshahine.
+- BlueBubbles: lazy-refresh the Private API server-info cache on send when reply threading or message effects are requested but status is unknown, so sends no longer silently degrade to plain messages when the 10-minute cache expires. (#65447, #43764) Thanks @omarshahine.
+- Heartbeat/security: force owner downgrade for untrusted `hook:wake` system events [AI-assisted]. (#66031) Thanks @pgondhi987.
+- Browser/security: enforce SSRF policy on snapshot, screenshot, and tab routes [AI]. (#66040) Thanks @pgondhi987.
+- Microsoft Teams/security: enforce sender allowlist checks on SSO signin invokes [AI]. (#66033) Thanks @pgondhi987.
+- Config/security: redact `sourceConfig` and `runtimeConfig` alias fields in `redactConfigSnapshot` [AI]. (#66030) Thanks @pgondhi987.
+- Agents/context engines: run opt-in turn maintenance as idle-aware background work so the next foreground turn no longer waits on proactive maintenance. (#65233) Thanks @100yenadmin.
+- Plugins/status: report the registered context-engine IDs in `plugins inspect` instead of the owning plugin ID, so non-matching engine IDs and multi-engine plugins are classified correctly. (#58766) Thanks @zhuisDEV.
+- Context engines: reject resolved plugin engines whose reported `info.id` does not match their registered slot id, so malformed engines fail fast before id-based runtime branches can misbehave. (#63222) Thanks @fuller-stack-dev.
+- WhatsApp: patch installed Baileys media encryption writes during OpenClaw postinstall so the default npm/install.sh delivery path waits for encrypted media files to finish flushing before readback, avoiding transient `ENOENT` crashes on image sends. (#65896) Thanks @frankekn.
+- Gateway/update: unify service entrypoint resolution around the canonical bundled gateway entrypoint so update, reinstall, and doctor repair stop drifting between stale `dist/entry.js` and current `dist/index.js` paths. (#65984) Thanks @mbelinky.
+- Heartbeat/Telegram topics: keep isolated heartbeat replies on the bound forum topic when `target=last`, instead of dropping them into the group root chat. (#66035) Thanks @mbelinky.
+- Browser/CDP: let managed local Chrome readiness, status probes, and managed loopback CDP control bypass browser SSRF policy for their own loopback control plane, so OpenClaw no longer misclassifies a healthy child browser as "not reachable after start". (#65695, #66043) Thanks @mbelinky.
+- Gateway/sessions: stop heartbeat, cron-event, and exec-event turns from overwriting shared-session routing and origin metadata, preventing synthetic `heartbeat` targets from poisoning later cron or user delivery. (#66073, #63733, #35300) Thanks @mbelinky.
+- Browser/CDP: let local attach-only `manual-cdp` profiles reuse the local loopback CDP control plane under strict default policy and remote-class probe timeouts, so tabs/snapshot stop falsely reporting a live local browser session as not running. (#65611, #66080) Thanks @mbelinky.
+- Cron/scheduler: stop inventing short retries when cron next-run calculation returns no valid future slot, and keep a maintenance wake armed so enabled unscheduled jobs recover without entering a refire loop. (#66019, #66083) Thanks @mbelinky.
+- Cron/scheduler: preserve the active error-backoff floor when maintenance repair recomputes a missing cron next-run, so recurring errored jobs do not resume early after a transient next-run resolution failure. (#66019, #66083, #66113) Thanks @mbelinky.
+- Outbound/delivery-queue: persist the originating outbound `session` context on queued delivery entries and replay it during recovery, so write-ahead-queued sends keep their original outbound media policy context after restart instead of evaluating against a missing session. (#66025) Thanks @eleqtrizit.
+- Memory/Ollama: restore the built-in `ollama` embedding adapter in memory-core so explicit `memorySearch.provider: "ollama"` works again, and include endpoint-aware cache keys so different Ollama hosts do not reuse each other's embeddings. (#63429, #66078, #66163) Thanks @nnish16 and @vincentkoc.
+- Auto-reply/queue: split collect-mode followup drains into contiguous groups by per-message authorization context (sender id, owner status, exec/bash-elevated overrides), so queued items from different senders or exec configs no longer execute under the last queued run's owner-only and exec-approval context. (#66024) Thanks @eleqtrizit.
+- Dreaming/memory-core: require a live queued Dreaming cron event before the heartbeat hook runs the sweep, so managed Dreaming no longer replays on later heartbeats after the scheduled run was already consumed. (#66139) Thanks @mbelinky.
+- Control UI/Dreaming: stop Imported Insights and Memory Palace from calling optional `memory-wiki` gateway methods when the plugin is off, and refresh config before wiki reloads so the Dreaming tab stops showing misleading unknown-method failures. (#66140) Thanks @mbelinky.
+- Agents/tools: only mark streamed unknown-tool retries as counted when a streamed message actually classifies an unavailable tool, and keep incomplete streamed tool names from resetting the retry streak before the final assistant message arrives. (#66145) Thanks @dutifulbob.
+- Memory/active-memory: move recalled memory onto the hidden untrusted prompt-prefix path instead of system prompt injection, label the visible Active Memory status line fields, and include the resolved recall provider/model in gateway debug logs so trace/debug output matches what the model actually saw. (#66144) Thanks @Takhoffman.
+- Memory/QMD: stop treating legacy lowercase `memory.md` as a second default root collection, so QMD recall no longer searches phantom `memory-alt-*` collections and builtin/QMD root-memory fallback stays aligned. (#66141) Thanks @mbelinky.
+- Agents/subagents: ship `dist/agents/subagent-registry.runtime.js` in npm builds so `runtime: "subagent"` runs stop stalling in `queued` after the registry import fails. (#66189) Thanks @yqli2420 and @vincentkoc.
+- Agents/OpenAI: map `minimal` thinking to OpenAI's supported `low` reasoning effort for GPT-5.4 requests, so embedded runs stop failing request validation. Thanks @steipete.
+- Voice-call/media-stream: resolve the source IP from trusted forwarding headers for per-IP pending-connection limits when `webhookSecurity.trustForwardingHeaders` and `trustedProxyIPs` are configured, and reserve `maxConnections` capacity for in-flight WebSocket upgrades so concurrent handshakes can no longer momentarily exceed the operator-set cap. (#66027) Thanks @eleqtrizit.
+- Feishu/allowlist: canonicalize allowlist entries by explicit `user`/`chat` kind, strip repeated `feishu:`/`lark:` provider prefixes, and stop folding opaque Feishu IDs to lowercase, so allowlist matching no longer crosses user/chat namespaces or widens to case-insensitive ID matches the operator did not intend. (#66021) Thanks @eleqtrizit.
+- Telegram/status commands: let read-only status slash commands bypass busy topic turns, while keeping `/export-session` on the normal lane so it cannot interleave with an in-flight session mutation. (#66226) Thanks @VACInc and @vincentkoc.
+- TTS/reply media: persist OpenClaw temp voice outputs into managed outbound media and allow them through reply-media normalization, so voice-note replies stop silently dropping. (#63511) Thanks @jetd1.
+- Agents/tools: treat Windows drive-letter paths (`C:\\...`) as absolute when resolving sandbox and read-tool paths so workspace root is not prepended under POSIX path rules. (#54039) Thanks @ly85206559 and @vincentkoc.
+- Agents/OpenAI: recover embedded GPT-style runs when reasoning-only or empty turns need bounded continuation, with replay-safe retry gating and incomplete-turn fallback when no visible answer arrives. (#66167) thanks @jalehman
+- Outbound/relay-status: suppress internal relay-status placeholder payloads (`No channel reply.`, `Replied in-thread.`, `Replied in #...`, wiki-update status variants ending in `No channel reply.`) before channel delivery so internal housekeeping text does not leak to users.
+- Slack/doctor: add a dedicated doctor-contract sidecar so config warmup paths such as `openclaw cron` no longer fall back to Slack's broader contract surface, which could trigger Slack-related config-read crashes on affected setups. (#63192) Thanks @shhtheonlyperson.
+- Hooks/session-memory: pass the resolved agent workspace into gateway `/new` and `/reset` session-memory hooks so reset snapshots stay scoped to the right agent workspace instead of leaking into the default workspace. (#64735) Thanks @suboss87 and @vincentkoc.
+- CLI/approvals: raise the default `openclaw approvals get` gateway timeout and report config-load timeouts explicitly, so slow hosts stop showing a misleading `Config unavailable.` note when the approvals snapshot succeeds but the follow-up config RPC needs more time. (#66239) Thanks @neeravmakwana.
+- Media/store: honor configured agent media limits when saving generated media and persisting outbound reply media, so the store no longer hard-stops those flows at 5 MB before the configured limit applies. (#66229) Thanks @neeravmakwana and @vincentkoc.
+- Plugins/setup-entry: preserve separate setup-entry secrets exports when loading bundled setup-runtime channels, so setup-mode flows keep the channel secret contract for split plugin + secrets entrypoints. (#66261) Thanks @hxy91819.
+- CLI/update: prune stale packaged `dist` chunks after npm upgrades, verify installed package inventory, and keep downgrade/update verification working across older releases. (#66959) Thanks @obviyus.
+
+## 2026.4.12
+
+### Changes
+
+- QA/lab: add Convex-backed pooled Telegram credential leasing plus `openclaw qa credentials` admin commands and broker setup docs. (#65596) Thanks @joshavant.
+- Memory/Active Memory: add a new optional Active Memory plugin that gives OpenClaw a dedicated memory sub-agent right before the main reply, so ongoing chats can automatically pull in relevant preferences, context, and past details without making users remember to manually say "remember this" or "search memory" first. Includes configurable message/recent/full context modes, live `/verbose` inspection, advanced prompt/thinking overrides for tuning, and opt-in transcript persistence for debugging. Docs: https://docs.openclaw.ai/concepts/active-memory. (#63286) Thanks @Takhoffman.
+- macOS/Talk: add an experimental local MLX speech provider for Talk Mode, with explicit provider selection, local utterance playback, interruption handling, and system-voice fallback. (#63539) Thanks @ImLukeF.
+- CLI/exec policy: add a local `openclaw exec-policy` command with `show`, `preset`, and `set` subcommands for synchronizing requested `tools.exec.*` config with the local exec approvals file, plus follow-up hardening for node-host rejection, rollback safety, and sync conflict detection. (#64050)
+- Gateway: add a `commands.list` RPC so remote gateway clients can discover runtime-native, text, skill, and plugin commands with surface-aware naming and serialized argument metadata. (#62656) Thanks @samzong.
+- Models/providers: add per-provider `models.providers.*.request.allowPrivateNetwork` for trusted self-hosted OpenAI-compatible endpoints, keep the opt-in scoped to model request surfaces, and refresh cached WebSocket managers when request transport overrides change. (#63671) Thanks @qas.
+- QA/testing: add a `--runner multipass` lane for `openclaw qa suite` so repo-backed QA scenarios can run inside a disposable Linux VM and write back the usual report, summary, and VM logs. (#63426) Thanks @shakkernerd.
+- Docs i18n: chunk raw doc translation, reject truncated tagged outputs, avoid ambiguous body-only wrapper unwrapping, and recover from terminated Pi translation sessions without changing the default `openai/gpt-5.4` path. (#62969, #63808) Thanks @hxy91819.

+- Gateway: split startup and runtime seams so gateway lifecycle sequencing, reload state, and shutdown behavior stay easier to maintain without changing observed behavior. (#63975) Thanks @gumadeiras.
+- Matrix/partial streaming: add MSC4357 live markers to draft preview sends and edits so supporting Matrix clients can render a live/typewriter animation and stop it when the final edit lands. (#63513) Thanks @TigerInYourDream.
+- QA/Telegram: add a live `openclaw qa telegram` lane for private-group bot-to-bot checks, harden its artifact handling, and preserve native Telegram command reply threading for QA verification. (#64303) Thanks @obviyus.
+- Models/Codex: add the bundled Codex provider and plugin-owned app-server harness so `codex/gpt-*` models use Codex-managed auth, native threads, model discovery, and compaction while `openai/gpt-*` stays on the normal OpenAI provider path. (#64298) Thanks @steipete.
+- Models/providers: add a bundled LM Studio provider with onboarding, runtime model discovery, stream preload support, and memory-search embeddings for local/self-hosted OpenAI-compatible models. (#53248) Thanks @rugvedS07.
+- Plugins/loading: narrow CLI, provider, and channel activation to manifest-declared needs, preserve explicit scope and trust boundaries, and centralize manifest-owner policy so startup, command discovery, and runtime activation avoid loading unrelated plugin runtime. (#65120, #65259, #65298, #65429, #65459) Thanks @vincentkoc.

+### Fixes
+
+- fix(security): remove busybox/toybox from interpreter-like safe bins [AI-assisted]. (#65713) Thanks @pgondhi987.
+- fix(approval-auth): prevent empty approver list from granting explicit approval authorization [AI]. (#65714) Thanks @pgondhi987.
+- fix(security): broaden shell-wrapper detection and block env-argv assignment injection [AI-assisted]. (#65717) Thanks @pgondhi987.
+- Gateway/startup: defer scheduled services until sidecars finish, gate chat history and model listing during sidecar resume, and let Control UI retry startup-gated history loads so Sandbox wake resumes channels first. (#65365) Thanks @lml2468.
+- Control UI/chat: load the live gateway slash-command catalog into the composer and command palette so dock commands, plugin commands, and direct skill aliases appear in chat, while keeping trusted local commands authoritative and bounding remote command metadata. (#65620) Thanks @BunsDev.
+- CLI/update: respawn tracked plugin refresh from the updated entrypoint after package self-updates so `openclaw update` stops failing on stale hashed `dist/install.runtime-*.js` chunk imports. (#65471)
+- Memory/active-memory: keep recall runs on the resolved channel when wrappers like `mx-claw` are enabled, improve lexical fallback ranking, and keep lexical boosts out of hybrid search so recall finds the right memories more consistently. (#65049, #65395) Thanks @Takhoffman.
+- Dreaming: consume managed heartbeat events exactly once, stage light-sleep confidence from all recorded short-term signals, wake scheduled jobs immediately, raise dreaming-only promotion enough to cross the durable-memory gate, and stop dreaming from re-ingesting its own narrative transcripts.
+- Dreaming/narrative: harden transient narrative cleanup by retrying timed-out deletes, scrubbing stale dreaming session artifacts through the lock-aware session-store path, and isolating transient narrative session keys per workspace. (#65320, #61674)
+- Memory/wiki: preserve Unicode letters, digits, and combining marks in wiki slugs and contradiction clustering, and cap Unicode filename segments to safe byte lengths so non-ASCII titles stop collapsing or overflowing path limits. (#64742) Thanks @zhouhe-xydt.
+- Memory/short-term recall: allow nested daily notes under `memory/**/YYYY-MM-DD.md` to feed short-term recall, while still excluding generated dream reports under `memory/dreaming/**` so dreaming does not promote its own output. (#64682) Thanks @SARAMALI15792.
+- UI/WebChat: hide synthetic transcript-repair tool results from chat history reloads so internal recovery markers do not leak into visible chat after reconnects. (#65247) Thanks @wangwllu.
+- WhatsApp/outbound: fall back to the first `mediaUrls` entry when `mediaUrl` is empty so gateway media sends stop silently dropping attachments that already have a resolved media list. (#64394) Thanks @eric-fr4 and @vincentkoc.
+- Doctor/Discord: stop `openclaw doctor --fix` from rewriting legacy Discord preview-streaming config into the nested modern shape, so downgrades can still recover without hand-editing `channels.discord.streaming`. (#65035) Thanks @vincentkoc.
+- Gateway/auth: blank the shipped example gateway credential in `.env.example` and fail startup when a copied placeholder token or password is still configured, so operators cannot accidentally launch with a publicly known secret. (#64586) Thanks @navarrotech and @vincentkoc.
+
+- Memory/active-memory+dreaming: keep active-memory recall runs on the strongest resolved channel, consume managed dreaming heartbeat events exactly once, stop dreaming from re-ingesting its own narrative transcripts, and add explicit repair/dedupe recovery flows in CLI, doctor, and the Dreams UI.
+- Agents/queueing: carry orphaned active-turn user text into the next prompt before repairing transcript ordering, so follow-up messages that arrive mid-run are no longer silently dropped. (#65388) Thanks @adminfedres and @vincentkoc.
+- Gateway/keepalive: stop marking WebSocket tick broadcasts as droppable so slow or backpressured clients do not self-disconnect with `tick timeout` while long-running work is still alive. (#65256) Thanks @100yenadmin and @vincentkoc.
+- Matrix/mentions: keep room mention gating strict while accepting visible `@displayName` Matrix URI labels, so `requireMention` works for non-OpenClaw Matrix clients again. (#64796) Thanks @hclsys.
+- Doctor: warn when on-disk agent directories still exist under `~/.openclaw/agents/<id>/agent` but the matching `agents.list[]` entries are missing from config. (#65113) Thanks @neeravmakwana.
+- Telegram: route approval button callback queries onto a separate sequentializer lane so plugin approval clicks can resolve immediately instead of deadlocking behind the blocked agent turn. (#64979) Thanks @nk3750.
+- Telegram/direct sessions: keep commentary-only assistant fallback payloads out of visible direct delivery, so Codex planning chatter cannot leak into Telegram DMs when a run has no `final_answer` text.
+- Gateway/keepalive: stop marking WebSocket tick broadcasts as droppable so slow or backpressured clients do not self-disconnect with `tick timeout` while long-running work is still alive. (#65436)
+- Gateway/plugins: always send a non-empty `idempotencyKey` for plugin subagent runs, so dreaming narrative jobs stop failing gateway schema validation. (#65354) Thanks @CodeForgeNet.
+- Gateway/auth: blank the shipped example gateway credential in `.env.example` and fail startup when a copied placeholder token or password is still configured, so operators cannot accidentally launch with a publicly known secret. (#64586) Thanks @navarrotech.
+- Plugins/memory-core dreaming: keep bundled `memory-core` loaded alongside an explicit external memory slot owner only when that owner enables dreaming, while preserving `plugins.slots.memory = "none"` disable semantics. (#65411) Thanks @pradeep7127.
+- Doctor/Discord: stop `openclaw doctor --fix` from rewriting legacy Discord preview-streaming config into the nested modern shape, so downgrades can still recover without hand-editing `channels.discord.streaming`.
+- Doctor: warn when on-disk agent directories still exist under `~/.openclaw/agents/<id>/agent` but the matching `agents.list[]` entries are missing from config. (#65113) Thanks @neeravmakwana.
+- CLI/plugins: honor `memory-wiki` when `plugins.allow` is set for `openclaw wiki`, and pass the active app config into the metadata registrar so plugin-owned wiki commands resolve the live plugin config instead of falling back to defaults. (#64779, #65012)
+- QA/packaging: stop packaged QA helpers from crashing when optional scenario execution config is unavailable, so npm distributions can skip the repo-only scenario pack without breaking completion-cache and startup paths. (#65118) Thanks @EdderTalmor.
+- Media/audio transcription: surface the real provider failure when every audio transcription attempt fails, so status output and the CLI stop collapsing those errors into generic skips. (#65096) Thanks @l0cka.
+- Infra/net: fix multipart FormData fields (including `model`) being silently dropped when a guarded runtime fetch body crosses a FormData implementation boundary, restoring OpenAI audio transcription requests that failed with HTTP 400. (#64349) Thanks @petr-sloup.
+- Dreaming/diary: use the host local timezone for diary timestamps when `dreaming.timezone` is unset, and include the timezone abbreviation so `DREAMS.md` and the UI make local or UTC time explicit. (#65034, #65057)
+- Dreaming/promotion: raise phase reinforcement enough for repeated dreaming-only revisits to clear the default durable-memory gate after multiple days, instead of stalling just below the score threshold. (#64068) Thanks @vincentkoc.
+- Dreaming/light-sleep: compute staged candidate confidence from all recorded short-term signals instead of recall-only counts, so dreaming-only entries stop rendering as `confidence: 0.00`. (#64599) Thanks @vincentkoc.
+- Plugins/memory: restore cached memory capability public artifacts on plugin-registry cache hits so memory-backed artifact surfaces stay visible after warm loads.
+- Gateway/cron: preserve requested isolated-agent config across runtime reloads so subagent jobs and heartbeat overrides keep the right workspace and heartbeat settings when the hot-loaded snapshot is stale.
+- Cron/isolated sessions: persist the right transcript path for each isolated run, including fresh session rollovers, so cron runs stop appending to stale session files.
+- Discord/gateway: clear stale heartbeat timers before reconnecting so zombie gateway callbacks cannot crash the process and drop in-flight replies. (#65009) Thanks @SARAMALI15792.
+- Matrix/mentions: keep room mention gating strict while accepting visible `@displayName` Matrix URI labels, so `requireMention` works for non-OpenClaw Matrix clients again. (#64796) Thanks @hclsys.
+- Agents/Anthropic replay: preserve immutable signed-thinking replay safety across stored and live reruns, keep non-thinking embedded `tool_result` user blocks intact, and drop conflicting preserved tool IDs before validation so retries stop degrading into omitted tool calls. (#65126) Thanks @shakkernerd.
+- Memory/QMD: allow channel sessions in the shipped default QMD scope, while still denying groups.
+- Memory/QMD: stop registering the legacy lowercase root memory file as a separate default collection, so QMD now prefers `MEMORY.md` and the `memory/` tree without duplicate collection-add warnings.
+- Memory/memory-core: watch the `memory` directory directly and ignore non-markdown churn so nested note changes still sync on macOS + Node 25 environments where recursive `memory/**/*.md` glob watching fails. (#64711) Thanks @jasonxargs-boop and @vincentkoc.
+- WhatsApp: centralize per-account connection ownership so reconnects, login recovery, and outbound readiness stay attached to the live socket instead of drifting across monitor and login paths. (#65290) Thanks @mcaxtr and @vincentkoc.
+- iMessage: retry transient `watch.subscribe` startup failures before tearing down the monitor, and sanitize startup error logging so brief local transport stalls do not immediately bounce the channel or leak raw imsg RPC payloads into logs. (#65393) Thanks @vincentkoc.
+- CLI/audio providers: report env-authenticated providers as configured in `openclaw infer audio providers --json`, while keeping trusted workspace provider env lookup defaults stable during auth setup. (#65491)
+- Plugins/install: reinstall bundled runtime packages when the matching platform native optional child is missing, so packaged Windows installs can recover dependencies that were packed on another host OS.
+- Memory/QMD: preserve explicit `memory.qmd.command` paths, create missing agent workspaces before QMD probes, and keep the current Node binary on QMD subprocess PATH so service and gateway environments do not fall back to builtin search unnecessarily.
+- Plugins/Lobster: load the published `@clawdbot/lobster/core` runtime in process so bundled Lobster runs stop depending on private package internals. (#64755) Thanks @mbelinky.
+- Agents/CLI: keep unrelated config, session, transcript, and MCP bootstrap runtime off common `openclaw agent` cold paths so provider selection and agent startup stop stalling on heavyweight imports. Thanks @vincentkoc.
+- Setup/config/install: stop setup, config dry-runs, and daemon install from eagerly booting auth-profile and plugin repair runtime when those paths are not needed, so onboarding and local service setup avoid long cold-start stalls. Thanks @vincentkoc.
+- Cron/direct delivery: slim isolated-agent delivery cold paths so direct channel delivery and related cron execution spend less time loading unrelated auth, plugin, and channel runtime. Thanks @vincentkoc.
+- Channels/replay dedupe: standardize replay claims, retryable-failure release, and post-success commit behavior across Telegram, Discord, Slack, Mattermost, WhatsApp, Matrix, LINE, Feishu, Zalo, Nextcloud Talk, TLON, Nostr, Voice Call, and shared plugin interactive callbacks so duplicate deliveries stay reply-once after success but retry cleanly after pre-delivery failures. Thanks @vincentkoc.
+- Agents/OpenAI mini reasoning: remap unsupported `low` and `minimal` reasoning effort to `medium` for affected OpenAI mini models, and add a live regression lane to keep the compatibility fix covered. (#65478) Thanks @vincentkoc.
+- Configure/wizard: replay wizard edits onto the latest config snapshot after a hash conflict so plugin-auth writes no longer get dropped during `openclaw configure`, including nested config under shared sections such as `plugins`. (#64188) Thanks @feiskyer and @vincentkoc.

+- Dreaming/memory-wiki: add ChatGPT import ingestion plus new `Imported Insights` and `Memory Palace` diary subtabs so Dreaming can inspect imported source chats, compiled wiki pages, and full source pages directly from the UI. (#64505)
+- Control UI/webchat: render assistant media/reply/voice directives as structured chat bubbles, add the `[embed ...]` rich output tag, and gate external embed URLs behind config. (#64104)
+- Tools/video_generate: add URL-only generated asset delivery, typed `providerOptions`, reference audio inputs, per-asset role hints, `adaptive` aspect-ratio support, and a higher image-input cap so video providers can expose richer generation modes without forcing large files into memory. (#61987, #61988) Thanks @xieyongliang.
+- Feishu: improve document comment sessions with richer context parsing, comment reactions, and typing feedback so document-thread conversations behave more like chat conversations. (#63785)
+- Microsoft Teams: add reaction support, reaction listing, Graph pagination, and delegated OAuth setup for sending reactions while preserving application-auth read paths. (#51646)
+- Plugins: allow plugin manifests to declare activation and setup descriptors so plugin setup flows can describe required auth, pairing, and configuration steps without hardcoded core special cases. (#64780)
+- Ollama: cache `/api/show` context-window and capability metadata during model discovery so repeated picker refreshes stop refetching unchanged models, while still retrying after empty responses and invalidating on digest changes. (#64753) Thanks @ImLukeF.
+- Models/providers: surface how configured OpenAI-compatible endpoints are classified in embedded-agent debug logs, so local and proxy routing issues are easier to diagnose. (#64754) Thanks @ImLukeF.
+- QA/parity: add the GPT-5.4 vs Opus 4.6 agentic parity report gate with shared scenario coverage checks, stricter evidence heuristics, and skipped-scenario accounting for maintainer review. (#64441) Thanks @100yenadmin.
+
+### Fixes

+- Windows/onboarding: open provider OAuth and sign-in URLs with `explorer.exe` instead of routing them through `cmd /c start`, so quoted provider URLs cannot break out into host command execution. (#64161) Thanks @coygeek and @vincentkoc.
+- OpenAI/Codex OAuth: stop rewriting the upstream authorize URL scopes so new Codex sign-ins do not fail with `invalid_scope` before returning an authorization code. (#64713) Thanks @fuller-stack-dev.
+- Audio transcription: disable pinned DNS only for OpenAI-compatible multipart requests, while still validating hostnames, so OpenAI, Groq, and Mistral transcription works again without weakening other request paths. (#64766) Thanks @GodsBoy.
+- macOS/Talk Mode: after granting microphone permission on first enable, continue starting Talk Mode instead of requiring a second toggle. (#62459) Thanks @ggarber.
+- Control UI/webchat: persist agent-run TTS audio replies into webchat history and preserve interleaved tool card pairing so generated audio and mixed tool output stay attached to the right messages. (#63514) Thanks @bittoby.
+- WhatsApp: honor the configured default account when the active listener helper is used without an explicit account id, so named default accounts do not get registered under `default`. (#53918) Thanks @yhyatt.
+- ACP/agents: suppress commentary-phase child assistant relay text in ACP parent stream updates, so spawned child runs stop leaking internal progress chatter into the parent session. Thanks @vincentkoc.
+- Agents/timeouts: honor explicit run timeouts in the LLM idle watchdog and align default timeout config so slow models can keep working until the configured limit instead of using the wrong idle window.
+- Config: include `asyncCompletion` in the generated zod schema so documented async completion config no longer fails with an unrecognized-key error. (#63618)
+- Google/Veo: stop sending the unsupported `numberOfVideos` request field so Gemini Developer API Veo runs do not fail before OpenClaw can complete the intended Google video generation path. (#64723) Thanks @velvet-shark.
+- QA/packaging: stop packaged CLI startup and completion cache generation from reading repo-only QA scenario markdown, ship the bundled QA scenario pack in npm releases, and keep `openclaw completion --write-state` working even if QA setup is broken. (#64648) Thanks @obviyus.
+- Codex/QA: keep Codex app-server coordination chatter out of visible replies, add a live QA leak scenario, and classify leaked harness meta text as a QA failure instead of a successful reply. Thanks @vincentkoc.
+- WhatsApp: route `message react` through the gateway-owned action path so reactions use the live WhatsApp listener in both DM and group chats, matching `message send` and `message poll`. Thanks @mcaxtr.
+- Auto-reply/WhatsApp: preserve inbound image attachment notes after media understanding so image edits keep the real saved media path instead of hallucinating a missing local path. (#64918) Thanks @ngutman.
+- Telegram/sessions: keep topic-scoped session initialization on the canonical topic transcript path when inbound turns omit `MessageThreadId`, so one topic session no longer alternates between bare and topic-qualified transcript files. (#64869) Thanks @jalehman.
+- Agents/failover: scope assistant-side fallback classification and surfaced provider errors to the current attempt instead of stale session history, so cross-provider fallback runs stop inheriting the previous provider's failure. (#62907) Thanks @stainlu.
+- MiniMax/OAuth: write `api: "anthropic-messages"` and `authHeader: true` into the `minimax-portal` config patch during `openclaw configure`, so re-authenticated portal setups keep Bearer auth routing working. (#64964) Thanks @ryanlee666.
+- Agents/tools: stop repeated unavailable-tool retries from escaping loop detection when the model changes arguments, and rewrite over-threshold unknown tool calls into plain assistant text before dispatch. (#65922) Thanks @dutifulbob.
+- Cron/announce delivery: tell isolated cron jobs to return the full response exactly instead of a summary, so structured `--announce` deliveries stop dropping fields nondeterministically. (#65638) Thanks @srinivaspavan9 and @vincentkoc.
+- Security/exec approvals: redact bearer tokens, API keys, and similar secrets in exec approval prompt command text before those prompts are posted back to chat channels, regardless of logging redaction settings. (#61077) Thanks @feiskyer and @vincentkoc.

 - Plugins/provider-auth: let provider manifests declare `providerAuthAliases` so provider variants can share env vars, auth profiles, config-backed auth, and API-key onboarding choices without core-specific wiring.
 - iOS: pin release versioning to an explicit CalVer in `apps/ios/version.json`, keep TestFlight iteration on the same short version until maintainers intentionally promote the next gateway version, and add the documented `pnpm ios:version:pin -- --from-gateway` workflow for release trains. (#63001) Thanks @ngutman.
+- Tools/video_generate: extend the tool and the Plugin SDK with `providerOptions` (vendor-specific options forwarded as a JSON object), `inputAudios` / `audioRef` / `audioRefs` reference audio inputs, per-asset semantic role hints (`imageRoles` / `videoRoles` / `audioRoles`) using a typed `VideoGenerationAssetRole` union, a new `"adaptive"` aspect-ratio sentinel, and `maxInputAudios` provider capability declarations. Providers opt into `providerOptions` by declaring a typed `capabilities.providerOptions` schema (`{ seed: "number", draft: "boolean", ... }`); unknown keys and type mismatches cause the runtime fallback loop to skip the candidate with a visible warning and an `attempts` entry, so vendor-specific options never silently reach the wrong provider. Also raises the in-tool image input cap to 9 and updates the docs table to list all new parameters. (#61987) Thanks @xieyongliang.

 - Plugin SDK/command auth: split command status builders onto the lightweight `openclaw/plugin-sdk/command-status` subpath while preserving deprecated `command-auth` compatibility exports, so auth-only plugin imports no longer pull status/context warmup into CLI onboarding paths.

+- Diffs/config: preserve schema-shaped plugin config parsing from `diffsPluginConfigSchema.safeParse()`, so direct callers keep `defaults` and `security` sections instead of receiving flattened tool defaults. (#57904) Thanks @gumadeiras.
+- Diffs: fall back to plain text when `lang` hints are invalid during diff render and viewer hydration, so bad or stale language values no longer break the diff viewer. (#57902) Thanks @gumadeiras.
+- Doctor/plugins: skip false Matrix legacy-helper warnings when no migration plans exist, and keep bundled `enabledByDefault` plugins in the gateway startup set. (#57931) Thanks @dinakars777.
+- Matrix/CLI send: start one-off Matrix send clients before outbound delivery so `openclaw message send --channel matrix` restores E2EE in encrypted rooms instead of sending plain events. (#57936) Thanks @gumadeiras.
+- xAI/Responses: normalize image-bearing tool results for xAI responses payloads, including OpenResponses-style `input_image.source` parts, so image tool replays no longer 422 on the follow-up turn. (#58017) Thanks @neeravmakwana.
+- Cron/isolated sessions: carry the full live-session provider, model, and auth-profile selection across retry restarts so cron jobs with model overrides no longer fail or loop on mid-run model-switch requests. (#57972) Thanks @issaba1.
+- Matrix/direct rooms: stop trusting remote `is_direct`, honor explicit local `is_direct: false` for discovered DM candidates, and avoid extra member-state lookups for shared rooms so DM routing and repair stay aligned. (#57124) Thanks @w-sss.
+- Agents/sandbox: make remote FS bridge reads pin the parent path and open the file atomically in the helper so read access cannot race path resolution. Thanks @AntAISecurityLab and @vincentkoc.
+- Tools/web_fetch: add an explicit trusted env-proxy path for proxy-only installs while keeping strict SSRF fetches on the pinned direct path, so trusted proxy routing does not weaken strict destination binding. (#50650) Thanks @kkav004.
+- Exec/env: block Python package index override variables from request-scoped host exec environment sanitization so package fetches cannot be redirected through a caller-supplied index. Thanks @nexrin and @vincentkoc.
+- Telegram/audio: transcode Telegram voice-note `.ogg` attachments before the local `whisper-cli` auto fallback runs, and keep mention-preflight transcription enabled in auto mode when `tools.media.audio` is unset.
+- Matrix/direct rooms: recover fresh auto-joined 1:1 DMs without eagerly persisting invite-only `m.direct` mappings, while keeping named, aliased, and explicitly configured rooms on the room path. (#58024) Thanks @gumadeiras.

+- Config/SecretRef + Control UI: harden SecretRef redaction round-trip restore, block unsafe raw fallback (force Form mode when raw is unavailable), and preflight submitted-config SecretRefs before config write RPC persistence. (#58044) Thanks @joshavant.
+- Config/Telegram: migrate removed `channels.telegram.groupMentionsOnly` into `channels.telegram.groups["*"].requireMention` on load so legacy configs no longer crash at startup. (#55336) thanks @jameslcowan.
+- Gateway/SecretRef: resolve restart token drift checks with merged service/runtime env sources and hard-fail unsupported mutable SecretRef plus OAuth-profile combinations so restart warnings and policy enforcement match runtime behavior. (#58141) Thanks @joshavant.
 - Telegram/outbound chunking: use static markdown chunking when Telegram runtime state is unavailable so long outbound Telegram messages still split correctly after cold starts. (#57816) Thanks @ForestDengHK.
+- Update/Corepack: disable interactive Corepack download prompts during update preflight install unless `COREPACK_ENABLE_DOWNLOAD_PROMPT` is already explicitly set, so `openclaw update` can fetch the repo-pinned pnpm version non-interactively. (#61456) Thanks @p6l-richard.

-<li>QA/lab: add character-vibes evaluation reports with model selection and parallel runs so live QA can compare candidate behavior faster.</li>
-<li>Plugins/provider-auth: let provider manifests declare <code>providerAuthAliases</code> so provider variants can share env vars, auth profiles, config-backed auth, and API-key onboarding choices without core-specific wiring.</li>
-<li>iOS: pin release versioning to an explicit CalVer in <code>apps/ios/version.json</code>, keep TestFlight iteration on the same short version until maintainers intentionally promote the next gateway version, and add the documented <code>pnpm ios:version:pin -- --from-gateway</code> workflow for release trains. (#63001) Thanks @ngutman.</li>
+<li>OpenAI Codex/models: add forward-compat support for <code>gpt-5.4-pro</code>, including Codex pricing/limits and list/status visibility before the upstream catalog catches up. (#66453) Thanks @jepson-liu.</li>
+<li>Telegram/forum topics: surface human topic names in agent context, prompt metadata, and plugin hook metadata by learning names from Telegram forum service messages. (#65973) Thanks @ptahdunbar.</li>
 </ul>
 <h3>Fixes</h3>
 <ul>
-<li>Browser/security: re-run blocked-destination safety checks after interaction-driven main-frame navigations from click, evaluate, hook-triggered click, and batched action flows, so browser interactions cannot bypass the SSRF quarantine when they land on forbidden URLs. (#63226) Thanks @eleqtrizit.</li>
-<li>Security/dotenv: block runtime-control env vars plus browser-control override and skip-server env vars from untrusted workspace <code>.env</code> files, and reject unsafe URL-style browser control override specifiers before lazy loading. (#62660, #62663) Thanks @eleqtrizit.</li>
-<li>Gateway/node exec events: mark remote node <code>exec.started</code>, <code>exec.finished</code>, and <code>exec.denied</code> summaries as untrusted system events and sanitize node-provided command/output/reason text before enqueueing them, so remote node output cannot inject trusted <code>System:</code> content into later turns. (#62659) Thanks @eleqtrizit.</li>
-<li>Plugins/onboarding auth choices: prevent untrusted workspace plugins from colliding with bundled provider auth-choice ids during non-interactive onboarding, so bundled provider setup keeps operator secrets out of untrusted workspace plugin handlers unless those plugins are explicitly trusted. (#62368) Thanks @pgondhi987.</li>
-<li>Security/dependency audit: force <code>basic-ftp</code> to <code>5.2.1</code> for the CRLF command-injection fix and bump Hono plus <code>@hono/node-server</code> in production resolution paths.</li>
-<li>Android/pairing: clear stale setup-code auth on new QR scans, bootstrap operator and node sessions from fresh pairing, prefer stored device tokens after bootstrap handoff, and pause pairing auto-retry while the app is backgrounded so scan-once Android pairing recovers reliably again. (#63199) Thanks @obviyus.</li>
-<li>Matrix/gateway: wait for Matrix sync readiness before marking startup successful, keep Matrix background handler failures contained, and route fatal Matrix sync stops through channel-level restart handling instead of crashing the whole gateway. (#62779) Thanks @gumadeiras.</li>
-<li>Slack/media: preserve bearer auth across same-origin <code>files.slack.com</code> redirects while still stripping it on cross-origin Slack CDN hops, so <code>url_private_download</code> image attachments load again. (#62960) Thanks @vincentkoc.</li>
-<li>Reply/doctor: use the active runtime snapshot for queued reply runs, resolve reply-run SecretRefs before preflight helpers touch config, surface gateway OAuth reauth failures to users, and make <code>openclaw doctor</code> call out exact reauth commands. (#62693, #63217) Thanks @mbelinky.</li>
-<li>Control UI: guard stale session-history reloads during fast session switches so the selected session and rendered transcript stay in sync. (#62975) Thanks @scoootscooob.</li>
-<li>Gateway/chat: suppress exact and streamed <code>ANNOUNCE_SKIP</code> / <code>REPLY_SKIP</code> control replies across live chat updates and history sanitization so internal agent-to-agent control tokens no longer leak into user-facing gateway chat surfaces. (#51739) Thanks @Pinghuachiu.</li>
-<li>Auto-reply/NO_REPLY: strip glued leading <code>NO_REPLY</code> tokens before reply normalization and ACP-visible streaming so silent sentinel text no longer leaks into user-visible replies while preserving substantive <code>NO_REPLY ...</code> text. Thanks @frankekn.</li>
-<li>Sessions/routing: preserve established external routes on inter-session announce traffic so <code>sessions_send</code> follow-ups do not steal delivery from Telegram, Discord, or other external channels. (#58013) Thanks @duqaXxX.</li>
-<li>Gateway/sessions: clear auto-fallback-pinned model overrides on <code>/reset</code> and <code>/new</code> while still preserving explicit user model selections, including legacy sessions created before override-source tracking existed. (#63155) Thanks @frankekn.</li>
-<li>Slack/ACP: treat Slack ACP block replies as visible delivered output so OpenClaw stops re-sending the final fallback text after Slack already rendered the reply. (#62858) Thanks @gumadeiras.</li>
-<li>Slack/partial streaming: key turn-local dedupe by dispatch kind and keep the final fallback reply path active when preview finalization fails so stale preview text cannot suppress the actual final answer. (#62859) Thanks @gumadeiras.</li>
-<li>Matrix/doctor: migrate legacy <code>channels.matrix.dm.policy: "trusted"</code> configs back to compatible DM policies during <code>openclaw doctor --fix</code>, preserving explicit <code>allowFrom</code> boundaries as <code>allowlist</code> and defaulting empty legacy configs to <code>pairing</code>. (#62942) Thanks @lukeboyett.</li>
-<li>npm packaging: mirror bundled channel runtime deps, stage Nostr runtime deps, derive required root mirrors from manifests and built chunks, and test packed release tarballs without repo <code>node_modules</code> so fresh installs fail fast on missing plugin deps instead of crashing at runtime. (#63065) Thanks @scoootscooob.</li>
-<li>QA/live auth: fail fast when live QA scenarios hit classified auth or runtime failure replies, including raw scenario wait paths, and sanitize missing-key guidance so gateway auth problems surface as actionable errors instead of timeouts. (#63333) Thanks @shakkernerd.</li>
-<li>Providers/OpenAI: default missing reasoning effort to <code>high</code> on OpenAI Responses, WebSocket, and compatible completions transports, while still honoring explicit per-run reasoning levels.</li>
-<li>Providers/Ollama: allow Ollama models using the native <code>api: "ollama"</code> path to optionally display thinking output when <code>/think</code> is set to a non-off level. (#62712) Thanks @hoyyeva.</li>
-<li>Codex CLI: pass OpenClaw's system prompt through Codex's <code>model_instructions_file</code> config override so fresh Codex CLI sessions receive the same prompt guidance as Claude CLI sessions.</li>
-<li>Auth/profiles: persist explicit auth-profile upserts directly and skip external CLI sync for local writes so profile changes are saved without stale external credential state.</li>
-<li>Agents/timeouts: make the LLM idle timeout inherit <code>agents.defaults.timeoutSeconds</code> when configured, disable the unconfigured idle watchdog for cron runs, and point idle-timeout errors at <code>agents.defaults.llm.idleTimeoutSeconds</code>. Thanks @drvoss.</li>
-<li>Agents/failover: classify Z.ai vendor code <code>1311</code> as billing and <code>1113</code> as auth, including long wrapped <code>1311</code> payloads, so these errors stop falling through to generic failover handling. (#49552) Thanks @1bcMax.</li>
-<li>QQBot/media-tags: support HTML entity-encoded angle brackets (<code>&lt;</code>/<code>&gt;</code>), URL slashes in attributes, and self-closing media tags so upstream <code><qqimg></code> payloads are correctly parsed and normalized. (#60493) Thanks @ylc0919.</li>
-<li>Memory/dreaming: harden grounded backfill inputs, diary writes, status payloads, and diary action classification by preserving source-day labels, rejecting missing or symlinked targets cleanly, normalizing diary headings in gateway backfills, and tightening claim splitting plus diary source metadata. Thanks @mbelinky.</li>
-<li>Memory/dreaming: accept embedded heartbeat trigger tokens so light and REM dreaming still run when runtime wrappers include extra heartbeat text.</li>
-<li>Android/manual connect: allow blank port input only for TLS manual gateway endpoints so standard HTTPS Tailscale hosts default to <code>443</code> without silently changing cleartext manual connects. (#63134) Thanks @Tyler-RNG.</li>
-<li>Windows/update: add heap headroom to Windows <code>pnpm build</code> steps during dev updates so update preflight builds stop failing on low default Node memory.</li>
-<li>Plugin SDK: export the channel plugin base and web-search config contract through the public package so plugins can use them without private imports.</li>
-<li>Plugins/contracts: keep test-only helpers out of production contract barrels, load shared contract harnesses through bundled test surfaces, and harden guardrails so indirect re-exports and canonical <code>*.test.ts</code> files stay blocked. (#63311) Thanks @altaywtf.</li>
-<li>Control UI/models: preserve provider-qualified refs for OpenRouter catalog models whose ids already contain slashes so picker selections submit allowlist-compatible model refs instead of dropping the <code>openrouter/</code> prefix. (#63416) Thanks @sallyom.</li>
-<li>Plugin SDK/command auth: split command status builders onto the lightweight <code>openclaw/plugin-sdk/command-status</code> subpath while preserving deprecated <code>command-auth</code> compatibility exports, so auth-only plugin imports no longer pull status/context warmup into CLI onboarding paths. (#63174) Thanks @hxy91819.</li>
+<li>Agents/Ollama: forward the configured embedded-run timeout into the global undici stream timeout tuning so slow local Ollama runs no longer inherit the default stream cutoff instead of the operator-set run timeout. (#63175) Thanks @mindcraftreader and @vincentkoc.</li>
+<li>Models/Codex: include <code>apiKey</code> in the codex provider catalog output so the Pi ModelRegistry validator no longer rejects the entry and silently drops all custom models from every provider in <code>models.json</code>. (#66180) Thanks @hoyyeva.</li>
+<li>Tools/image+pdf: normalize configured provider/model refs before media-tool registry lookup so image and PDF tool runs stop rejecting valid Ollama vision models as unknown just because the tool path skipped the usual model-ref normalization step. (#59943) Thanks @yqli2420 and @vincentkoc.</li>
+<li>Slack/interactions: apply the configured global <code>allowFrom</code> owner allowlist to channel block-action and modal interactive events, require an expected sender id for cross-verification, and reject ambiguous channel types so interactive triggers can no longer bypass the documented allowlist intent in channels without a <code>users</code> list. Open-by-default behavior is preserved when no allowlists are configured. (#66028) Thanks @eleqtrizit.</li>
+<li>Media-understanding/attachments: fail closed when a local attachment path cannot be canonically resolved via <code>realpath</code>, so a <code>realpath</code> error can no longer downgrade the canonical-roots allowlist check to a non-canonical comparison; attachments that also have a URL still fall back to the network fetch path. (#66022) Thanks @eleqtrizit.</li>
+<li>Agents/gateway-tool: reject <code>config.patch</code> and <code>config.apply</code> calls from the model-facing gateway tool when they would newly enable any flag enumerated by <code>openclaw security audit</code> (for example <code>dangerouslyDisableDeviceAuth</code>, <code>allowInsecureAuth</code>, <code>dangerouslyAllowHostHeaderOriginFallback</code>, <code>hooks.gmail.allowUnsafeExternalContent</code>, <code>tools.exec.applyPatch.workspaceOnly: false</code>); already-enabled flags pass through unchanged so non-dangerous edits in the same patch still apply, and direct authenticated operator RPC behavior is unchanged. (#62006) Thanks @eleqtrizit.</li>
+<li>Google image generation: strip a trailing <code>/openai</code> suffix from configured Google base URLs only when calling the native Gemini image API so Gemini image requests stop 404ing without breaking explicit OpenAI-compatible Google endpoints. (#66445) Thanks @dapzthelegend.</li>
+<li>Telegram/forum topics: persist learned topic names to the Telegram session sidecar store so agent context can keep using human topic names after a restart instead of relearning from future service metadata. (#66107) Thanks @obviyus.</li>
+<li>Doctor/systemd: keep <code>openclaw doctor --repair</code> and service reinstall from re-embedding dotenv-backed secrets in user systemd units, while preserving newer inline overrides over stale state-dir <code>.env</code> values. (#66249) Thanks @tmimmanuel.</li>
+<li>Ollama/OpenAI-compat: send <code>stream_options.include_usage</code> for Ollama streaming completions so local Ollama runs report real usage instead of falling back to bogus prompt-token counts that trigger premature compaction. (#64568) Thanks @xchunzhao and @vincentkoc.</li>
+<li>Doctor/plugins: cache external <code>preferOver</code> catalog lookups within each plugin auto-enable pass so large <code>agents.list</code> configs no longer peg CPU and repeatedly reread plugin catalogs during doctor/plugins resolution. (#66246) Thanks @yfge.</li>
+<li>GitHub Copilot/thinking: allow <code>github-copilot/gpt-5.4</code> to use <code>xhigh</code> reasoning so Copilot GPT-5.4 matches the rest of the GPT-5.4 family. (#50168) Thanks @jakepresent and @vincentkoc.</li>
+<li>Memory/embeddings: preserve non-OpenAI provider prefixes when normalizing OpenAI-compatible embedding model refs so proxy-backed memory providers stop failing with <code>Unknown memory embedding provider</code>. (#66452) Thanks @jlapenna.</li>
+<li>Agents/local models: clarify low-context preflight hints for self-hosted models, point config-backed caps at the relevant OpenClaw setting, and stop suggesting larger models when <code>agents.defaults.contextTokens</code> is the real limit. (#66236) Thanks @ImLukeF.</li>
+<li>Browser/SSRF: restore hostname navigation under the default browser SSRF policy while keeping explicit strict mode reachable from config, and keep managed loopback CDP <code>/json/new</code> fallback requests on the local CDP control policy so browser follow-up fixes stop regressing normal navigation or self-blocking local CDP control. (#66386) Thanks @obviyus.</li>
+<li>Models/Codex: canonicalize the legacy <code>openai-codex/gpt-5.4-codex</code> runtime alias to <code>openai-codex/gpt-5.4</code> while still honoring alias-specific and canonical per-model overrides. (#43060) Thanks @Sapientropic and @vincentkoc.</li>
+<li>Browser/SSRF: preserve explicit strict browser navigation mode for legacy <code>browser.ssrfPolicy.allowPrivateNetwork: false</code> configs by normalizing the legacy alias to the canonical strict marker instead of silently widening those installs to the default non-strict hostname-navigation path.</li>
+<li>Onboarding/custom providers: use <code>max_tokens=16</code> for OpenAI-compatible verification probes so stricter custom endpoints stop rejecting onboarding checks that only need a tiny completion. (#66450) Thanks @WuKongAI-CMU.</li>
+<li>Agents/subagents: emit the subagent registry lazy-runtime stub on the stable dist path that both source and bundled runtime imports resolve, so the follow-up dist fix no longer still fails with <code>ERR_MODULE_NOT_FOUND</code> at runtime. (#66420) Thanks @obviyus.</li>
+<li>Media-understanding/proxy env: auto-upgrade provider HTTP helper requests to trusted env-proxy mode only when <code>HTTP_PROXY</code>/<code>HTTPS_PROXY</code> is active and the target is not bypassed by <code>NO_PROXY</code>, so remote media-understanding and transcription requests stop failing local DNS pre-resolution in proxy-only environments without widening SSRF bypasses. (#52162) Thanks @mjamiv and @vincentkoc.</li>
+<li>Telegram/media downloads: let Telegram media fetches trust an operator-configured explicit proxy for target DNS resolution after hostname-policy checks, so proxy-backed installs stop failing <code>could not download media</code> on Bot API file downloads after the DNS-pinning regression. (#66245) Thanks @dawei41468 and @vincentkoc.</li>
+<li>Browser: keep loopback CDP readiness checks reachable under strict SSRF defaults so OpenClaw can reconnect to locally started managed Chrome. (#66354) Thanks @hxy91819.</li>
+<li>Agents/context engine: compact engine-owned sessions from the first tool-loop delta and preserve ingest fallback when <code>afterTurn</code> is absent, so long-running tool loops can stay bounded without dropping engine state. (#63555) Thanks @Bikkies.</li>
+<li>OpenAI Codex/auth: keep malformed Codex CLI auth-file diagnostics on the debug logger instead of stdout so interactive command output stays clean while auth read failures remain traceable. (#66451) Thanks @SimbaKingjoe.</li>
+<li>Discord/native commands: return the real status card for native <code>/status</code> interactions instead of falling through to the synthetic <code>✅ Done.</code> ack when the generic dispatcher produces no visible reply. (#54629) Thanks @tkozzer and @vincentkoc.</li>
+<li>Hooks/Ollama: let LLM-backed session-memory slug generation honor an explicit <code>agents.defaults.timeoutSeconds</code> override instead of always aborting after 15 seconds, so slow local Ollama runs stop silently dropping back to generic filenames. (#66237) Thanks @dmak and @vincentkoc.</li>
+<li>Media/transcription: remap <code>.aac</code> filenames to <code>.m4a</code> for OpenAI-compatible audio uploads so AAC voice notes stop failing MIME-sensitive transcription endpoints. (#66446) Thanks @ben-z.</li>
+<li>UI/chat: replace marked.js with markdown-it so maliciously crafted markdown can no longer freeze the Control UI via ReDoS. (#46707) Thanks @zhangfnf.</li>
+<li>Auto-reply/send policy: keep <code>sendPolicy: "deny"</code> from blocking inbound message processing, so the agent still runs its turn while all outbound delivery is suppressed for observer-style setups. (#65461, #53328) Thanks @omarshahine.</li>
+<li>BlueBubbles: lazy-refresh the Private API server-info cache on send when reply threading or message effects are requested but status is unknown, so sends no longer silently degrade to plain messages when the 10-minute cache expires. (#65447, #43764) Thanks @omarshahine.</li>
+<li>Heartbeat/security: force owner downgrade for untrusted <code>hook:wake</code> system events [AI-assisted]. (#66031) Thanks @pgondhi987.</li>
+<li>Browser/security: enforce SSRF policy on snapshot, screenshot, and tab routes [AI]. (#66040) Thanks @pgondhi987.</li>
+<li>Microsoft Teams/security: enforce sender allowlist checks on SSO signin invokes [AI]. (#66033) Thanks @pgondhi987.</li>
+<li>Config/security: redact <code>sourceConfig</code> and <code>runtimeConfig</code> alias fields in <code>redactConfigSnapshot</code> [AI]. (#66030) Thanks @pgondhi987.</li>
+<li>Agents/context engines: run opt-in turn maintenance as idle-aware background work so the next foreground turn no longer waits on proactive maintenance. (#65233) Thanks @100yenadmin.</li>
+<li>Plugins/status: report the registered context-engine IDs in <code>plugins inspect</code> instead of the owning plugin ID, so non-matching engine IDs and multi-engine plugins are classified correctly. (#58766) Thanks @zhuisDEV.</li>
+<li>Context engines: reject resolved plugin engines whose reported <code>info.id</code> does not match their registered slot id, so malformed engines fail fast before id-based runtime branches can misbehave. (#63222) Thanks @fuller-stack-dev.</li>
+<li>WhatsApp: patch installed Baileys media encryption writes during OpenClaw postinstall so the default npm/install.sh delivery path waits for encrypted media files to finish flushing before readback, avoiding transient <code>ENOENT</code> crashes on image sends. (#65896) Thanks @frankekn.</li>
+<li>Gateway/update: unify service entrypoint resolution around the canonical bundled gateway entrypoint so update, reinstall, and doctor repair stop drifting between stale <code>dist/entry.js</code> and current <code>dist/index.js</code> paths. (#65984) Thanks @mbelinky.</li>
+<li>Heartbeat/Telegram topics: keep isolated heartbeat replies on the bound forum topic when <code>target=last</code>, instead of dropping them into the group root chat. (#66035) Thanks @mbelinky.</li>
+<li>Browser/CDP: let managed local Chrome readiness, status probes, and managed loopback CDP control bypass browser SSRF policy for their own loopback control plane, so OpenClaw no longer misclassifies a healthy child browser as "not reachable after start". (#65695, #66043) Thanks @mbelinky.</li>
+<li>Gateway/sessions: stop heartbeat, cron-event, and exec-event turns from overwriting shared-session routing and origin metadata, preventing synthetic <code>heartbeat</code> targets from poisoning later cron or user delivery. (#66073, #63733, #35300) Thanks @mbelinky.</li>
+<li>Browser/CDP: let local attach-only <code>manual-cdp</code> profiles reuse the local loopback CDP control plane under strict default policy and remote-class probe timeouts, so tabs/snapshot stop falsely reporting a live local browser session as not running. (#65611, #66080) Thanks @mbelinky.</li>
+<li>Cron/scheduler: stop inventing short retries when cron next-run calculation returns no valid future slot, and keep a maintenance wake armed so enabled unscheduled jobs recover without entering a refire loop. (#66019, #66083) Thanks @mbelinky.</li>
+<li>Cron/scheduler: preserve the active error-backoff floor when maintenance repair recomputes a missing cron next-run, so recurring errored jobs do not resume early after a transient next-run resolution failure. (#66019, #66083, #66113) Thanks @mbelinky.</li>
+<li>Outbound/delivery-queue: persist the originating outbound <code>session</code> context on queued delivery entries and replay it during recovery, so write-ahead-queued sends keep their original outbound media policy context after restart instead of evaluating against a missing session. (#66025) Thanks @eleqtrizit.</li>
+<li>Memory/Ollama: restore the built-in <code>ollama</code> embedding adapter in memory-core so explicit <code>memorySearch.provider: "ollama"</code> works again, and include endpoint-aware cache keys so different Ollama hosts do not reuse each other's embeddings. (#63429, #66078, #66163) Thanks @nnish16 and @vincentkoc.</li>
+<li>Auto-reply/queue: split collect-mode followup drains into contiguous groups by per-message authorization context (sender id, owner status, exec/bash-elevated overrides), so queued items from different senders or exec configs no longer execute under the last queued run's owner-only and exec-approval context. (#66024) Thanks @eleqtrizit.</li>
+<li>Dreaming/memory-core: require a live queued Dreaming cron event before the heartbeat hook runs the sweep, so managed Dreaming no longer replays on later heartbeats after the scheduled run was already consumed. (#66139) Thanks @mbelinky.</li>
+<li>Control UI/Dreaming: stop Imported Insights and Memory Palace from calling optional <code>memory-wiki</code> gateway methods when the plugin is off, and refresh config before wiki reloads so the Dreaming tab stops showing misleading unknown-method failures. (#66140) Thanks @mbelinky.</li>
+<li>Agents/tools: only mark streamed unknown-tool retries as counted when a streamed message actually classifies an unavailable tool, and keep incomplete streamed tool names from resetting the retry streak before the final assistant message arrives. (#66145) Thanks @dutifulbob.</li>
+<li>Memory/active-memory: move recalled memory onto the hidden untrusted prompt-prefix path instead of system prompt injection, label the visible Active Memory status line fields, and include the resolved recall provider/model in gateway debug logs so trace/debug output matches what the model actually saw. (#66144) Thanks @Takhoffman.</li>
+<li>Memory/QMD: stop treating legacy lowercase <code>memory.md</code> as a second default root collection, so QMD recall no longer searches phantom <code>memory-alt-*</code> collections and builtin/QMD root-memory fallback stays aligned. (#66141) Thanks @mbelinky.</li>
+<li>Agents/subagents: ship <code>dist/agents/subagent-registry.runtime.js</code> in npm builds so <code>runtime: "subagent"</code> runs stop stalling in <code>queued</code> after the registry import fails. (#66189) Thanks @yqli2420 and @vincentkoc.</li>
+<li>Agents/OpenAI: map <code>minimal</code> thinking to OpenAI's supported <code>low</code> reasoning effort for GPT-5.4 requests, so embedded runs stop failing request validation. Thanks @steipete.</li>
+<li>Voice-call/media-stream: resolve the source IP from trusted forwarding headers for per-IP pending-connection limits when <code>webhookSecurity.trustForwardingHeaders</code> and <code>trustedProxyIPs</code> are configured, and reserve <code>maxConnections</code> capacity for in-flight WebSocket upgrades so concurrent handshakes can no longer momentarily exceed the operator-set cap. (#66027) Thanks @eleqtrizit.</li>
+<li>Feishu/allowlist: canonicalize allowlist entries by explicit <code>user</code>/<code>chat</code> kind, strip repeated <code>feishu:</code>/<code>lark:</code> provider prefixes, and stop folding opaque Feishu IDs to lowercase, so allowlist matching no longer crosses user/chat namespaces or widens to case-insensitive ID matches the operator did not intend. (#66021) Thanks @eleqtrizit.</li>
+<li>Telegram/status commands: let read-only status slash commands bypass busy topic turns, while keeping <code>/export-session</code> on the normal lane so it cannot interleave with an in-flight session mutation. (#66226) Thanks @VACInc and @vincentkoc.</li>
+<li>TTS/reply media: persist OpenClaw temp voice outputs into managed outbound media and allow them through reply-media normalization, so voice-note replies stop silently dropping. (#63511) Thanks @jetd1.</li>
+<li>Agents/tools: treat Windows drive-letter paths (<code>C:\\...</code>) as absolute when resolving sandbox and read-tool paths so workspace root is not prepended under POSIX path rules. (#54039) Thanks @ly85206559 and @vincentkoc.</li>
+<li>Agents/OpenAI: recover embedded GPT-style runs when reasoning-only or empty turns need bounded continuation, with replay-safe retry gating and incomplete-turn fallback when no visible answer arrives. (#66167) thanks @jalehman</li>
+<li>Outbound/relay-status: suppress internal relay-status placeholder payloads (<code>No channel reply.</code>, <code>Replied in-thread.</code>, <code>Replied in #...</code>, wiki-update status variants ending in <code>No channel reply.</code>) before channel delivery so internal housekeeping text does not leak to users.</li>
+<li>Slack/doctor: add a dedicated doctor-contract sidecar so config warmup paths such as <code>openclaw cron</code> no longer fall back to Slack's broader contract surface, which could trigger Slack-related config-read crashes on affected setups. (#63192) Thanks @shhtheonlyperson.</li>
+<li>Hooks/session-memory: pass the resolved agent workspace into gateway <code>/new</code> and <code>/reset</code> session-memory hooks so reset snapshots stay scoped to the right agent workspace instead of leaking into the default workspace. (#64735) Thanks @suboss87 and @vincentkoc.</li>
+<li>CLI/approvals: raise the default <code>openclaw approvals get</code> gateway timeout and report config-load timeouts explicitly, so slow hosts stop showing a misleading <code>Config unavailable.</code> note when the approvals snapshot succeeds but the follow-up config RPC needs more time. (#66239) Thanks @neeravmakwana.</li>
+<li>Media/store: honor configured agent media limits when saving generated media and persisting outbound reply media, so the store no longer hard-stops those flows at 5 MB before the configured limit applies. (#66229) Thanks @neeravmakwana and @vincentkoc.</li>

-<h3>Fixes</h3>
-<ul>
-<li>Telegram/setup: load setup and secret contracts through packaged top-level sidecars so installed npm builds no longer try to import missing <code>dist/extensions/telegram/src/*</code> files during gateway startup.</li>
-<li>Bundled channels/setup: load shared secret contracts through packaged top-level sidecars across BlueBubbles, Feishu, Google Chat, IRC, Matrix, Mattermost, Microsoft Teams, Nextcloud Talk, Slack, and Zalo so installed npm builds no longer rely on missing <code>dist/extensions/*/src/*</code> files during gateway startup.</li>
-<li>Bundled plugins: align packaged plugin compatibility metadata with the release version so bundled channels and providers load on OpenClaw 2026.4.8.</li>
-<li>Agents/progress: keep <code>update_plan</code> available for OpenAI-family runs while returning compact success payloads and allowing <code>tools.experimental.planTool=false</code> to opt out.</li>
-<li>Agents/exec: keep <code>/exec</code> current-default reporting aligned with real runtime behavior so <code>host=auto</code> sessions surface the correct host-aware fallback policy (<code>full/off</code> on gateway or node, <code>deny/off</code> on sandbox) instead of stale stricter defaults.</li>
-<li>Slack: honor ambient HTTP(S) proxy settings for Socket Mode WebSocket connections, including NO_PROXY exclusions, so proxy-only deployments can connect without a monkey patch. (#62878) Thanks @mjamiv.</li>
-<li>Slack/actions: pass the already resolved read token into <code>downloadFile</code> so SecretRef-backed bot tokens no longer fail after a raw config re-read. (#62097) Thanks @martingarramon.</li>
-<li>Network/fetch guard: skip target DNS pinning when trusted env-proxy mode is active so proxy-only sandboxes can let the trusted proxy resolve outbound hosts. (#59007) Thanks @cluster2600.</li>

 <h3>Changes</h3>
 <ul>
-<li>CLI/infer: add a first-class <code>openclaw infer ...</code> hub for provider-backed inference workflows across model, media, web, and embedding tasks. Thanks @Takhoffman.</li>
-<li>Tools/media generation: auto-fallback across auth-backed image, music, and video providers by default, preserve intent during provider switches, remap size/aspect/resolution/duration hints to the closest supported option, and surface provider capabilities plus mode-aware video-to-video support.</li>
-<li>Memory/wiki: restore the bundled <code>memory-wiki</code> stack with plugin, CLI, sync/query/apply tooling, memory-host integration, structured claim/evidence fields, compiled digest retrieval, claim-health linting, contradiction clustering, staleness dashboards, and freshness-weighted search. Thanks @vincentkoc.</li>
-<li>Plugins/webhooks: add a bundled webhook ingress plugin so external automation can create and drive bound TaskFlows through per-route shared-secret endpoints. (#61892) Thanks @mbelinky.</li>
-<li>Gateway/sessions: add persisted compaction checkpoints plus Sessions UI branch/restore actions so operators can inspect and recover pre-compaction session state. (#62146) Thanks @scoootscooob.</li>
-<li>Compaction: add pluggable compaction provider registry so plugins can replace the built-in summarization pipeline. Configure via <code>agents.defaults.compaction.provider</code>; falls back to LLM summarization on provider failure. (#56224) Thanks @DhruvBhatia0.</li>
-<li>Agents/system prompt: add <code>agents.defaults.systemPromptOverride</code> for controlled prompt experiments plus heartbeat prompt-section controls so heartbeat runtime behavior can stay enabled without injecting heartbeat instructions every turn.</li>
-<li>Providers/Google: add Gemma 4 model support and keep Google fallback resolution on the requested provider path so native Google Gemma routes work again. (#61507) Thanks @eyjohn.</li>
-<li>Providers/Google: preserve explicit thinking-off semantics for Gemma 4 while still enabling Gemma reasoning support in compatibility wrappers. (#62127) Thanks @romgenie.</li>
-<li>Providers/Arcee AI: add a bundled Arcee AI provider plugin with Trinity catalog entries, OpenRouter support, and updated onboarding/auth guidance. (#62068) Thanks @arthurbr11.</li>
-<li>Providers/Anthropic: restore Claude CLI as the preferred local Anthropic path in onboarding, model-auth guidance, doctor flows, and Docker Claude CLI live lanes again.</li>
-<li>Providers/Ollama: detect vision capability from the <code>/api/show</code> response and set image input on models that support it so Ollama vision models accept image attachments. (#62193) Thanks @BruceMacD.</li>
-<li>Memory/dreaming: ingest redacted session transcripts into the dreaming corpus with per-day session-corpus notes, cursor checkpointing, and promotion/doctor support. (#62227) Thanks @vignesh07.</li>
-<li>Providers/inferrs: add string-content compatibility for stricter OpenAI-compatible chat backends, document <code>inferrs</code> setup with a full config example, and add troubleshooting guidance for local backends that pass direct probes but fail on full agent-runtime prompts.</li>
-<li>Agents/context engine: expose prompt-cache runtime context to context engines and keep current-turn prompt-cache usage aligned with the active attempt instead of stale prior-turn assistant state. (#62179) Thanks @jalehman.</li>
-<li>Plugin SDK/context engines: pass <code>availableTools</code> and <code>citationsMode</code> into <code>assemble()</code>, and expose memory-artifact and memory-prompt seams so companion plugins and non-legacy context engines can consume active memory state without reaching into internals. Thanks @vincentkoc.</li>
-<li>ACP/ACPX plugin: bump the bundled <code>acpx</code> pin to <code>0.5.1</code> so plugin-local installs and strict version checks pick up the latest published runtime release. (#62148) Thanks @onutc.</li>
-<li>Discord/events: allow <code>event-create</code> to accept a cover image URL or local file path, load and validate PNG/JPG/GIF event cover media, and pass the encoded image payload through Discord admin action/runtime paths. (#60883) Thanks @bittoby.</li>
+<li>Dreaming/memory-wiki: add ChatGPT import ingestion plus new <code>Imported Insights</code> and <code>Memory Palace</code> diary subtabs so Dreaming can inspect imported source chats, compiled wiki pages, and full source pages directly from the UI. (#64505)</li>
+<li>Control UI/webchat: render assistant media/reply/voice directives as structured chat bubbles, add the <code>[embed ...]</code> rich output tag, and gate external embed URLs behind config. (#64104)</li>
+<li>Tools/video_generate: add URL-only generated asset delivery, typed <code>providerOptions</code>, reference audio inputs, per-asset role hints, <code>adaptive</code> aspect-ratio support, and a higher image-input cap so video providers can expose richer generation modes without forcing large files into memory. (#61987, #61988) Thanks @xieyongliang.</li>
+<li>Feishu: improve document comment sessions with richer context parsing, comment reactions, and typing feedback so document-thread conversations behave more like chat conversations. (#63785)</li>
+<li>Microsoft Teams: add reaction support, reaction listing, Graph pagination, and delegated OAuth setup for sending reactions while preserving application-auth read paths. (#51646)</li>
+<li>Plugins: allow plugin manifests to declare activation and setup descriptors so plugin setup flows can describe required auth, pairing, and configuration steps without hardcoded core special cases. (#64780)</li>
+<li>Ollama: cache <code>/api/show</code> context-window and capability metadata during model discovery so repeated picker refreshes stop refetching unchanged models, while still retrying after empty responses and invalidating on digest changes. (#64753) Thanks @ImLukeF.</li>
+<li>Models/providers: surface how configured OpenAI-compatible endpoints are classified in embedded-agent debug logs, so local and proxy routing issues are easier to diagnose. (#64754) Thanks @ImLukeF.</li>
+<li>QA/parity: add the GPT-5.4 vs Opus 4.6 agentic parity report gate with shared scenario coverage checks, stricter evidence heuristics, and skipped-scenario accounting for maintainer review. (#64441) Thanks @100yenadmin.</li>
 </ul>
 <h3>Fixes</h3>
 <ul>
-<li>CLI/infer: keep provider-backed infer behavior aligned with actual runtime execution by fixing explicit TTS override handling, profile-aware gateway TTS prefs resolution, per-request transcription <code>prompt</code>/<code>language</code> overrides, image output MIME/extension mismatches, configured web-search fallback behavior, and agent-vs-CLI web-search execution drift.</li>
-<li>Plugins/media: when <code>plugins.allow</code> is set, capability fallback now merges bundled capability plugin ids into the allowlist (not only <code>plugins.entries</code>), so media understanding providers such as OpenAI-compatible STT load for voice transcription without requiring <code>openai</code> in <code>plugins.allow</code>. (#62205) Thanks @neeravmakwana.</li>
-<li>Agents/history and replies: buffer phaseless OpenAI WS text until a real assistant phase arrives, keep replay and SSE history sequence tracking aligned, hide commentary and leaked tool XML from user-visible history, and keep history-based follow-up replies on <code>final_answer</code> text only. (#61729, #61747, #61829, #61855, #61954) Thanks @100yenadmin and contributors.</li>
-<li>Control UI: show <code>/tts</code> audio replies in webchat, detect mistaken <code>?token=</code> auth links with the correct <code>#token=</code> hint, and keep Copy, Canvas, and mobile exec-approval UI from covering chat content on narrow screens. (#54842, #61514, #61598) Thanks @neeravmakwana.</li>
-<li>iOS/gateway: replace string-matched connection error UI with structured gateway connection problems, preserve actionable pairing/auth failures over later generic disconnect noise, and surface reusable problem banners and details across onboarding, settings, and root status surfaces. (#62650) Thanks @ngutman.</li>
-<li>TUI: route <code>/status</code> through the shared session-status command, keep commentary hidden in history, strip raw envelope metadata from async command notices, preserve fallback streaming before per-attempt failures finalize, and restore Kitty keyboard state on exit or fatal crashes. (#49130, #59985, #60043, #61463) Thanks @biefan and contributors.</li>
-<li>iOS/Watch exec approvals: keep Apple Watch review and approval recovery working while the iPhone is locked or backgrounded, including reconnect recovery, pending approval persistence, notification cleanup, and APNs-backed watch refresh recovery. (#61757) Thanks @ngutman.</li>
-<li>Agents/context overflow: combine oversized and aggregate tool-result recovery in one pass and restore a total-context overflow backstop so recoverable sessions retry instead of failing early. (#61651) Thanks @Takhoffman.</li>
-<li>Auth/OpenAI Codex OAuth: reload fresh on-disk credentials inside the locked refresh path and retry once after <code>refresh_token_reused</code> rotates only the stored refresh token, so relogin/restart recovery stops getting stuck on stale cached auth state. Thanks @owen-ever.</li>
-<li>Auth/OpenAI Codex OAuth: keep native <code>/model ...@profile</code> selections on the target session and honor explicit user-locked auth profiles even when per-agent auth order excludes them. (#62744) Thanks @jalehman.</li>
-<li>Providers/Anthropic: preserve thinking blocks for Claude Opus 4.5+, Sonnet 4.5+, and newer Claude 4-family models so prompt-cache prefixes keep matching, and skip <code>service_tier</code> injection on OAuth-authenticated stream wrapper requests so Claude OAuth streaming stops failing with HTTP 401. (#60356, #61793)</li>
-<li>Agents/Claude CLI: surface nested API error messages from structured CLI output so billing/auth/provider failures show the real provider error instead of an opaque CLI failure.</li>
-<li>Agents/exec: preserve explicit <code>host=node</code> routing under elevated defaults when <code>tools.exec.host=auto</code>, fail loud on invalid elevated cross-host overrides, and keep <code>strictInlineEval</code> commands blocked after approval timeouts instead of falling through to automatic execution. (#61739) Thanks @obviyus.</li>
-<li>Nodes/exec approvals: keep <code>host=node</code> POSIX transport shell wrappers (<code>/bin/sh -lc ...</code>) aligned with inner-command allowlist analysis so allowlisted scripts stop prompting unnecessarily, while Windows <code>cmd.exe</code> wrapper runs stay approval-gated. (#62401) Thanks @ngutman.</li>
-<li>Nodes/exec approvals: keep Windows <code>cmd.exe /c</code> wrapper runs approval-gated even when <code>env</code> carriers, including env-assignment carriers, wrap the shell invocation. (#62439) Thanks @ngutman.</li>
-<li>Gateway tool/exec config: block model-facing <code>gateway config.apply</code> and <code>config.patch</code> writes from changing exec approval paths such as <code>safeBins</code>, <code>safeBinProfiles</code>, <code>safeBinTrustedDirs</code>, and <code>strictInlineEval</code>, while still allowing unchanged structured values through. (#62001) Thanks @eleqtrizit.</li>
-<li>Host exec/env sanitization: block dangerous Java, Rust, Cargo, Git, Kubernetes, cloud credential, config-path, and Helm env overrides so host-run tools cannot be redirected to attacker-chosen code, config, credentials, or repository state. (#59119, #62002, #62291) Thanks @eleqtrizit and contributors.</li>
-<li>Commands/allowlist: require owner authorization for <code>/allowlist add</code> and <code>/allowlist remove</code> before channel resolution, so non-owner but command-authorized senders can no longer persistently rewrite allowlist policy state. (#62383) Thanks @pgondhi987.</li>
-<li>Feishu/docx uploads: honor <code>tools.fs.workspaceOnly</code> for local <code>upload_file</code> and <code>upload_image</code> paths by forwarding workspace-constrained <code>localRoots</code> into the media loader, so docx uploads can no longer read host-local files outside the workspace when workspace-only mode is active. (#62369) Thanks @pgondhi987.</li>
-<li>Network/fetch guard: drop request bodies and body-describing headers on cross-origin <code>307</code> and <code>308</code> redirects by default, so attacker-controlled redirect hops cannot receive secret-bearing POST payloads from SSRF-guarded fetch flows unless a caller explicitly opts in. (#62357) Thanks @pgondhi987.</li>
-<li>Browser/SSRF: treat main-frame <code>document</code> redirect hops as navigations even when Playwright does not flag them as <code>isNavigationRequest()</code>, so strict private-network blocking still stops forbidden redirect pivots before the browser reaches the internal target. (#62355) Thanks @pgondhi987.</li>
-<li>Browser/node invoke: block persistent browser profile create, reset, and delete mutations through <code>browser.proxy</code> on both gateway-forwarded <code>node.invoke</code> and the node-host proxy path, even when no profile allowlist is configured. (#60489)</li>
-<li>Gateway/node pairing: require a fresh pairing request when a previously paired node reconnects with additional declared commands, and keep the live session pinned to the earlier approved command set until the upgrade is approved. (#62658) Thanks @eleqtrizit.</li>
-<li>Gateway/auth: invalidate existing shared-token and password WebSocket sessions when the configured secret rotates, so stale authenticated sockets cannot stay attached after token or password changes. (#62350) Thanks @pgondhi987.</li>
-<li>MS Teams/security: validate file-consent upload URLs against HTTPS, Microsoft/SharePoint host allowlists, and private-IP DNS checks before uploading attachments, blocking SSRF-style consent-upload abuse. (#23596)</li>
-<li>Media/base64 decode guards: enforce byte limits before decoding missed base64-backed Teams, Signal, QQ Bot, and image-tool payloads so oversized inbound media and data URLs no longer bypass pre-decode size checks. (#62007) Thanks @eleqtrizit.</li>
-<li>Runtime event trust: mark background <code>notifyOnExit</code> summaries, ACP parent-stream relays, and wake-hook payloads as untrusted system events so lower-trust runtime output no longer re-enters later turns as trusted <code>System:</code> text. (#62003)</li>
-<li>Auto-reply/media: allow managed generated-media <code>MEDIA:</code> paths from normal reply text again while still blocking arbitrary host-local media and document paths, so generated media keep delivering without reopening host-path injection holes.</li>
-<li>Gateway/status and containers: auto-bind to <code>0.0.0.0</code> inside Docker and Podman environments, and probe local TLS gateways over <code>wss://</code> with self-signed fingerprint forwarding so container startup and loopback TLS status checks work again. (#61818, #61935) Thanks @openperf and contributors.</li>
-<li>Gateway/OpenAI-compatible HTTP: abort in-flight <code>/v1/chat/completions</code> and <code>/v1/responses</code> turns when clients disconnect so abandoned HTTP requests stop wasting agent runtime. (#54388) Thanks @Lellansin.</li>
-<li>macOS/gateway version: strip trailing commit metadata from CLI version output before semver parsing so the Mac app recognizes installed gateway versions like <code>OpenClaw 2026.4.2 (d74a122)</code> again. (#61111) Thanks @oliviareid-svg.</li>
-<li>Sessions/model selection: resolve the explicitly selected session model separately from runtime fallback resolution so session status and live model switching stay aligned with the chosen model.</li>
-<li>Discord/ACP bindings: canonicalize DM conversation identity across inbound messages, component interactions, native commands, and current-conversation binding resolution so <code>--bind here</code> in Discord DMs keeps routing follow-up replies to the bound agent instead of falling back to the default agent.</li>
-<li>Discord: recover forwarded referenced message text and attachments when snapshots are missing, use <code>ws://</code> again for gateway monitor sockets, stop forcing a hardcoded temperature for Codex-backed auto-thread titles, and harden voice receive recovery so rapid speaker restarts keep their next utterance. (#41536, #61670) Thanks @artwalker and contributors.</li>
-<li>Slack/thread mentions: add <code>channels.slack.thread.requireExplicitMention</code> so Slack channels that already require mentions can also require explicit <code>@bot</code> mentions inside bot-participated threads. (#58276) Thanks @praktika-engineer.</li>
-<li>Slack/threading: keep legacy thread stickiness for real replies when older callers omit <code>isThreadReply</code>, while still honoring <code>replyToMode</code> for Slack's auto-created top-level <code>thread_ts</code>. (#61835) Thanks @kaonash.</li>
-<li>Slack/media: keep attachment downloads on the SSRF-guarded dispatcher path so Slack media fetching works on Node 22 without dropping pinned transport enforcement. (#62239) Thanks @openperf.</li>
-<li>Matrix/onboarding: add an invite auto-join setup step with explicit off warnings and strict stable-target validation so new Matrix accounts stop silently ignoring invited rooms and fresh DM-style invites unless operators opt in. (#62168) Thanks @gumadeiras.</li>
-<li>Matrix/formatting: preserve multi-paragraph and loose-list rendering in Element so numbered and bulleted Markdown keeps their content attached to the correct list item. (#60997) Thanks @gucasbrg.</li>
-<li>Telegram/doctor: keep top-level access-control fallback in place during multi-account normalization while still promoting legacy default auth into <code>accounts.default</code>, so existing named bots keep inherited allowlists without dropping the legacy default bot. (#62263) Thanks @obviyus.</li>
-<li>Plugins/loaders: centralize bundled <code>dist/**</code> Jiti native-load policy and keep channel, public-surface, facade, and config-metadata loader seams off native Jiti on Windows so onboarding and configure flows stop tripping <code>ERR_UNSUPPORTED_ESM_URL_SCHEME</code>. (#62286) Thanks @chen-zhang-cs-code.</li>
-<li>Plugins/channels: keep bundled channel artifact and secret-contract loading stable under lazy loading, preserve plugin-schema defaults during install, and fix Windows <code>file://</code> plus native-Jiti plugin loader paths so onboarding, doctor, <code>openclaw secret</code>, and bundled plugin installs work again. (#61832, #61836, #61853, #61856) Thanks @Zeesejo and contributors.</li>
-<li>Plugins/ClawHub: verify downloaded plugin archives against version metadata SHA-256, fail closed when archive integrity metadata is missing or malformed, and tighten fallback ZIP verification so plugin installs cannot proceed on mismatched or incomplete ClawHub package metadata. (#60517) Thanks @mappel-nv.</li>
-<li>Plugins/provider hooks: stop recursive provider snapshot loads from overflowing the stack during plugin initialization, while still preserving cached nested provider-hook results. (#61922, #61938, #61946, #61951)</li>
-<li>Docker/plugins: stop forcing bundled plugin discovery to <code>/app/extensions</code> in runtime images so packaged installs use compiled <code>dist/extensions</code> artifacts again and Node 24 containers do not boot through source-only plugin entry paths. Fixes #62044. (#62316) Thanks @gumadeiras.</li>
-<li>Providers/Ollama: honor the selected provider's <code>baseUrl</code> during streaming so multi-Ollama setups stop routing every stream to the first configured Ollama endpoint. (#61678)</li>
-<li>Providers/Ollama: stop warning that Ollama could not be reached when discovery only sees empty default local stubs, while still keeping real explicit Ollama overrides loud when the endpoint is unreachable.</li>
-<li>Providers/xAI: recognize <code>api.grok.x.ai</code> as an xAI-native endpoint again and keep legacy <code>x_search</code> auth resolution working so older xAI web-search configs continue to load. (#61377) Thanks @jjjojoj.</li>
-<li>Providers/Mistral: send <code>reasoning_effort</code> for <code>mistral/mistral-small-latest</code> (Mistral Small 4) with thinking-level mapping, and mark the catalog entry as reasoning-capable so adjustable reasoning matches Mistral’s Chat Completions API. (#62162) Thanks @neeravmakwana.</li>
-<li>OpenAI TTS/Groq: send <code>wav</code> to Groq-compatible speech endpoints, honor explicit <code>responseFormat</code> overrides on OpenAI-compatible paths, and only mark voice-note output as voice-compatible when the actual format is <code>opus</code>. (#62233) Thanks @neeravmakwana.</li>
-<li>Tools/web_fetch and web_search: fix <code>TypeError: fetch failed</code> caused by undici 8.0 enabling HTTP/2 by default; pinned SSRF-guard dispatchers now explicitly set <code>allowH2: false</code> to restore HTTP/1.1 behavior and keep the custom DNS-pinning lookup compatible. (#61738, #61777) Thanks @zozo123.</li>
-<li>Tools/web search/Exa: show Exa Search in onboarding and configure provider pickers again by marking the bundled Exa provider as setup-visible. Thanks @vincentkoc.</li>
-<li>Memory/vector recall: surface explicit warnings when <code>sqlite-vec</code> is unavailable or vector writes are degraded, and strip managed Light Sleep and REM blocks before daily-note ingestion so memory indexing and dreaming stop reporting false-success or re-ingesting staged output. (#61720) Thanks @MonkeyLeeT.</li>
-<li>Memory/dreaming: make Dreams config reads and writes respect the selected memory slot plugin instead of always targeting <code>memory-core</code>. (#62275) Thanks @SnowSky1.</li>
-<li>QQ Bot/media: route gateway-side attachment and fallback downloads through guarded QQ/Tencent HTTPS fetches so QQ media handling no longer follows arbitrary remote hosts.</li>
-<li>Browser/remote CDP: retry the DevTools websocket once after remote browser restarts so healthy remote browser profiles do not fail availability checks during CDP warm-up. (#57397) Thanks @ThanhNguyxn07.</li>
-<li>UI/light mode: target both root and nested WebKit scrollbar thumbs in the light theme so page-level and container scrollbars stay visible on light backgrounds. (#61753) Thanks @chziyue.</li>
-<li>Agents/subagents: honor <code>sessions_spawn(lightContext: true)</code> for spawned subagent runs by preserving lightweight bootstrap context through the gateway and embedded runner instead of silently falling back to full workspace bootstrap injection. (#62264) Thanks @theSamPadilla.</li>
-<li>Cron: load <code>jobId</code> into <code>id</code> when the on-disk store omits <code>id</code>, matching doctor migration and fixing <code>unknown cron job id</code> for hand-edited <code>jobs.json</code>. (#62246) Thanks @neeravmakwana.</li>
-<li>Agents/model fallback: classify minimal HTTP 404 API errors (for example <code>404 status code (no body)</code>) as <code>model_not_found</code> so assistant failures throw into the fallback chain instead of stopping at the first fallback candidate. (#62119) Thanks @neeravmakwana.</li>
-<li>BlueBubbles/network: respect explicit private-network opt-out for loopback and private <code>serverUrl</code> values across account resolution, status probes, monitor startup, and attachment downloads, while keeping public-host attachment hostname pinning intact. (#59373) Thanks @jpreagan.</li>
-<li>Agents/heartbeat: keep heartbeat runs pinned to the main session so active subagent transcripts are not overwritten by heartbeat status messages. (#61803) Thanks @100yenadmin.</li>
-<li>Agents/heartbeat: respect disabled heartbeat prompt guidance so operators can suppress heartbeat prompt instructions without disabling heartbeat runtime behavior.</li>
-<li>Agents/compaction: stop compaction-wait aborts from re-entering prompt failover and replaying completed tool turns. (#62600) Thanks @i-dentifier.</li>
-<li>Approvals/runtime: move native approval lifecycle assembly into shared core bootstrap/runtime seams driven by channel capabilities and runtime contexts, and remove the legacy bundled approval fallback wiring. (#62135) Thanks @gumadeiras.</li>
-<li>Security/fetch-guard: stop rejecting operator-configured proxy hostnames against the target-scoped hostname allowlist in SSRF-guarded fetches, restoring proxy-based media downloads for Telegram and other channels. (#62312) Thanks @ademczuk.</li>
-<li>Logging: make <code>logging.level</code> and <code>logging.consoleLevel</code> honor the documented severity threshold ordering again, and keep child loggers inheriting the parent <code>minLevel</code>. (#44646) Thanks @zhumengzhu.</li>
-<li>Agents/sessions_send: pass <code>threadId</code> through announce delivery so cross-session notifications land in the correct Telegram forum topic instead of the group's general thread. (#62758) Thanks @jalehman.</li>
-<li>Daemon/systemd: keep sudo systemctl calls scoped to the invoking user when machine-scoped systemctl fails, while still avoiding machine fallback for permission-denied user bus errors. (#62337) Thanks @Aftabbs.</li>
-<li>Docs/i18n: relocalize final localized-page links after translation and remove the zh-CN homepage redirect override so localized Mintlify pages resolve to the correct language roots again. (#61796) Thanks @hxy91819.</li>
-<li>Agents/exec: keep timed-out shell-backgrounded commands on the failed path and point long-running jobs to exec background/yield sessions so process polling is only suggested for registered sessions.</li>
+<li>OpenAI/Codex OAuth: stop rewriting the upstream authorize URL scopes so new Codex sign-ins do not fail with <code>invalid_scope</code> before returning an authorization code. (#64713) Thanks @fuller-stack-dev.</li>
+<li>Audio transcription: disable pinned DNS only for OpenAI-compatible multipart requests, while still validating hostnames, so OpenAI, Groq, and Mistral transcription works again without weakening other request paths. (#64766) Thanks @GodsBoy.</li>
+<li>macOS/Talk Mode: after granting microphone permission on first enable, continue starting Talk Mode instead of requiring a second toggle. (#62459) Thanks @ggarber.</li>
+<li>Control UI/webchat: persist agent-run TTS audio replies into webchat history and preserve interleaved tool card pairing so generated audio and mixed tool output stay attached to the right messages. (#63514) Thanks @bittoby.</li>
+<li>WhatsApp: honor the configured default account when the active listener helper is used without an explicit account id, so named default accounts do not get registered under <code>default</code>. (#53918) Thanks @yhyatt.</li>
+<li>ACP/agents: suppress commentary-phase child assistant relay text in ACP parent stream updates, so spawned child runs stop leaking internal progress chatter into the parent session. Thanks @vincentkoc.</li>
+<li>Agents/timeouts: honor explicit run timeouts in the LLM idle watchdog and align default timeout config so slow models can keep working until the configured limit instead of using the wrong idle window.</li>
+<li>Config: include <code>asyncCompletion</code> in the generated zod schema so documented async completion config no longer fails with an unrecognized-key error. (#63618)</li>
+<li>Google/Veo: stop sending the unsupported <code>numberOfVideos</code> request field so Gemini Developer API Veo runs do not fail before OpenClaw can complete the intended Google video generation path. (#64723) Thanks @velvet-shark.</li>
+<li>QA/packaging: stop packaged CLI startup and completion cache generation from reading repo-only QA scenario markdown, ship the bundled QA scenario pack in npm releases, and keep <code>openclaw completion --write-state</code> working even if QA setup is broken. (#64648) Thanks @obviyus.</li>
+<li>Codex/QA: keep Codex app-server coordination chatter out of visible replies, add a live QA leak scenario, and classify leaked harness meta text as a QA failure instead of a successful reply. Thanks @vincentkoc.</li>
+<li>WhatsApp: route <code>message react</code> through the gateway-owned action path so reactions use the live WhatsApp listener in both DM and group chats, matching <code>message send</code> and <code>message poll</code>. Thanks @mcaxtr.</li>
+<li>Auto-reply/WhatsApp: preserve inbound image attachment notes after media understanding so image edits keep the real saved media path instead of hallucinating a missing local path. (#64918) Thanks @ngutman.</li>
+<li>Telegram/sessions: keep topic-scoped session initialization on the canonical topic transcript path when inbound turns omit <code>MessageThreadId</code>, so one topic session no longer alternates between bare and topic-qualified transcript files. (#64869) Thanks @jalehman.</li>
+<li>Agents/failover: scope assistant-side fallback classification and surfaced provider errors to the current attempt instead of stale session history, so cross-provider fallback runs stop inheriting the previous provider's failure. (#62907) Thanks @stainlu.</li>
+<li>MiniMax/OAuth: write <code>api: "anthropic-messages"</code> and <code>authHeader: true</code> into the <code>minimax-portal</code> config patch during <code>openclaw configure</code>, so re-authenticated portal setups keep Bearer auth routing working. (#64964) Thanks @ryanlee666.</li>

+            <description><![CDATA[<h2>OpenClaw 2026.4.10</h2>
+<h3>Changes</h3>
+<ul>
+<li>Models/Codex: add the bundled Codex provider and plugin-owned app-server harness so <code>codex/gpt-*</code> models use Codex-managed auth, native threads, model discovery, and compaction while <code>openai/gpt-*</code> stays on the normal OpenAI provider path. (#64298)</li>
+<li>Memory/Active Memory: add a new optional Active Memory plugin that gives OpenClaw a dedicated memory sub-agent right before the main reply, so ongoing chats can automatically pull in relevant preferences, context, and past details without making users remember to manually say "remember this" or "search memory" first. Includes configurable message/recent/full context modes, live <code>/verbose</code> inspection, advanced prompt/thinking overrides for tuning, and opt-in transcript persistence for debugging. Docs: https://docs.openclaw.ai/concepts/active-memory. (#63286) Thanks @Takhoffman.</li>
+<li>macOS/Talk: add an experimental local MLX speech provider for Talk Mode, with explicit provider selection, local utterance playback, interruption handling, and system-voice fallback. (#63539) Thanks @ImLukeF.</li>
+<li>Tools/video generation: add Seedance 2.0 model refs to the bundled fal provider and submit the provider-specific duration, resolution, audio, and seed metadata fields needed for live Seedance 2.0 runs.</li>
+<li>Microsoft Teams: add message actions for pin, unpin, read, react, and listing reactions. (#53432) Thanks @sudie-codes.</li>
+<li>QA/Matrix: add a live <code>openclaw qa matrix</code> lane backed by a disposable Matrix homeserver, shared live-transport seams, and Matrix-specific transport coverage for threading, reactions, restart, and allowlist behavior. (#64489) Thanks @gumadeiras.</li>
+<li>QA/Telegram: add a live <code>openclaw qa telegram</code> lane for private-group bot-to-bot checks, harden its artifact handling, and preserve native Telegram command reply threading for QA verification. (#64303) Thanks @obviyus.</li>
+<li>QA/testing: add a <code>--runner multipass</code> lane for <code>openclaw qa suite</code> so repo-backed QA scenarios can run inside a disposable Linux VM and write back the usual report, summary, and VM logs. (#63426) Thanks @shakkernerd.</li>
+<li>CLI/exec policy: add a local <code>openclaw exec-policy</code> command with <code>show</code>, <code>preset</code>, and <code>set</code> subcommands for synchronizing requested <code>tools.exec.*</code> config with the local exec approvals file, plus follow-up hardening for node-host rejection, rollback safety, and sync conflict detection. (#64050)</li>
+<li>Gateway: add a <code>commands.list</code> RPC so remote gateway clients can discover runtime-native, text, skill, and plugin commands with surface-aware naming and serialized argument metadata. (#62656) Thanks @samzong.</li>
+<li>Models/providers: add per-provider <code>models.providers.*.request.allowPrivateNetwork</code> for trusted self-hosted OpenAI-compatible endpoints, keep the opt-in scoped to model request surfaces, and refresh cached WebSocket managers when request transport overrides change. (#63671) Thanks @qas.</li>
+<li>Feishu: standardize request user agents and register the bot as an AI agent so Feishu deployments identify OpenClaw consistently. (#63835) Thanks @evandance.</li>
+<li>Matrix/partial streaming: add MSC4357 live markers to draft preview sends and edits so supporting Matrix clients can render a live/typewriter animation and stop it when the final edit lands. (#63513) Thanks @TigerInYourDream.</li>
+<li>Control UI/dreaming: simplify the Scene and Diary surfaces, preserve unknown phase state for partial status payloads, and stabilize waiting-entry recency ordering so Dreaming status and review lists stay clear and deterministic. (#64035) Thanks @davemorin.</li>
+<li>Agents: add an opt-in strict-agentic embedded Pi execution contract for GPT-5-family runs so plan-only or filler turns keep acting until they hit a real blocker. (#64241) Thanks @100yenadmin.</li>
+<li>Agents/OpenAI: add provider-owned OpenAI/Codex tool schema compatibility and surface embedded-run replay/liveness state for long-running runs. (#64300) Thanks @100yenadmin.</li>
+<li>Docs i18n: chunk raw doc translation, reject truncated tagged outputs, avoid ambiguous body-only wrapper unwrapping, and recover from terminated Pi translation sessions without changing the default <code>openai/gpt-5.4</code> path. (#62969, #63808) Thanks @hxy91819.</li>
+</ul>
+<h3>Fixes</h3>
+<ul>
+<li>Browser/security: tighten browser and sandbox navigation defenses across strict SSRF defaults, hostname allowlists, interaction-driven redirects, subframes, CDP discovery, existing sessions, tab actions, noVNC, marker-span sanitization, and Docker CDP source-range enforcement. (#61404, #63332, #63882, #63885, #63889, #64367, #64370, #64371)</li>
+<li>Security/tools: harden exec preflight reads, host env denylisting, node output boundaries, outbound host-media reads, profile-mutation authorization, plugin install dependency scanning, ACPX tool hooks, Gmail watcher token redaction, and oversized realtime WebSocket frame handling. (#62333, #62661, #62662, #63277, #63551, #63553, #63886, #63890, #63891, #64459)</li>
+<li>OpenAI/Codex: add required Codex OAuth scopes, classify provider/runtime failures more clearly, stop suggesting <code>/elevated full</code> when auto-approved host exec is unavailable, add OpenAI/Codex tool-schema compatibility, and preserve embedded-run replay/liveness truth across compaction retries and mutating side effects. (#64300, #64439) Thanks @100yenadmin.</li>
+<li>CLI/WhatsApp media sends: route gateway-mode outbound sends with <code>--media</code> through the channel <code>sendMedia</code> path and preserve media access context, so WhatsApp document and attachment sends stop silently dropping the file while still delivering the caption. (#64478, #64492) Thanks @ShionEria.</li>
+<li>Microsoft Teams: restore media downloads for personal DMs, Bot Framework <code>a:</code> conversations, OneDrive/SharePoint shared files, and Graph-backed chat IDs; accept Bot Framework audience tokens; prevent feedback-learning filename collisions; keep long tool chains alive with typing indicators; add SSO sign-in callbacks; inject parent context for thread replies; and deliver cron announcements to Teams conversation IDs. (#54932, #55383, #55386, #58001, #58249, #58774, #59731, #60956, #62219, #62674, #63063, #63942, #63945, #63949, #63951, #63953, #64087, #64088, #64089)</li>
+<li>Gateway/tailscale: start Tailscale exposure and the gateway update check before awaiting channel and plugin sidecar startup so remote operators are not locked out when startup sidecars stall.</li>
+<li>Gateway/startup: keep WebSocket RPC available while channels and plugin sidecars start, hold <code>chat.history</code> unavailable until startup sidecars finish so synchronous history reads cannot stall startup (reported in #63450), refresh advertised gateway methods after deferred plugin reloads, and enforce the pre-auth WebSocket upgrade budget before the no-handler 503 path so upgrade floods cannot bypass connection limits during that window. (#63480) Thanks @neeravmakwana.</li>
+<li>WhatsApp: keep inbound replies, media, composing indicators, and queued outbound deliveries attached to the current socket across reconnect gaps, including fresh retry-eligible sends after the listener comes back. (#30806, #46299, #62892, #63916) Thanks @mcaxtr.</li>
+<li>Gateway/thread routing: preserve Slack, Telegram, Mattermost, Matrix, ACP, restart-sentinel, and agent announce delivery targets so subagent, cron, stream-relay, session fallback, and restart messages land back in the originating thread, topic, or room casing. (#54840, #57056, #63143, #63228, #63506, #64343, #64391)</li>
+<li>Models/fallback: preserve <code>/models</code> selection across transient primary-model failures and config reloads, allow timeout cooldown probes, classify OpenRouter no-endpoints responses, detect llama.cpp context overflows, and keep provider/runtime context metadata stable through reloads. (#61472, #64196, #64471)</li>
+<li>Agents/BTW: keep <code>/btw</code> side questions working after tool-use turns by stripping replayed tool blocks, hidden reasoning, and malformed image payloads, omitting empty tool arrays, allowing Bedrock <code>auth: "aws-sdk"</code>, and routing Feishu <code>/btw</code> plus <code>/stop</code> through bounded out-of-band lanes. (#64218, #64219, #64225, #64324) Thanks @ngutman.</li>
+<li>Control UI/BTW: render <code>/btw</code> side results as dismissible ephemeral cards in the browser, send <code>/btw</code> immediately during active runs, and clear stale BTW cards on reset flows so webchat matches the intended detached side-question behavior. (#64290) Thanks @ngutman.</li>
+<li>Commands/targeting: use the selected agent or session for command output, send policy, usage/cost, context reports, model lists, bash sandbox hints, BTW/compact working directories, plugin commands, and session exports so multi-agent commands describe and mutate the intended target instead of the requester.</li>
+<li>Conversation bindings: normalize focused/current conversation ids, preserve binding metadata on account and Discord rebinds, avoid stale Discord lifecycle windows, and keep generic activity touches persisted so reply routing survives rebinds and restarts.</li>
+<li>iMessage/self-chat: distinguish normal DM outbound rows from true self-chat using <code>destination_caller_id</code> plus chat participants, preserve multi-handle self-chat aliases, drop ambiguous reflected echoes, and strip wrapped imsg RPC text fields. (#61619, #63868, #63980, #63989, #64000) Thanks @neeravmakwana.</li>
+<li>Matrix: keep multi-account room scoping consistent, keep packaged crypto migrations warning-only when appropriate, preserve ordered block streaming, add explicit Matrix block-streaming opt-in, and resolve verification/bootstrap from the packaged runtime entry. (#58449, #59249, #59266, #64373) Thanks @gumadeiras.</li>
+<li>Telegram/security: tighten Telegram <code>allowFrom</code> sender validation and keep <code>/whoami</code> allowlist reporting in sync with command auth checks.</li>
+<li>Agents/timeouts: extend the default LLM idle window to 120s and keep silent no-token idle timeouts on recovery paths, so slow models can retry or fall back before users see an error.</li>
+<li>Gateway/agents: preserve configured model selection and richer <code>IDENTITY.md</code> content across agent create/update flows and workspace moves, and fail safely instead of silently overwriting unreadable identity files. (#61577) Thanks @samzong.</li>
+<li>Skills/TaskFlow: restore valid frontmatter fences for the bundled <code>taskflow</code> and <code>taskflow-inbox-triage</code> skills and copy bundled <code>SKILL.md</code> files as hard dist-runtime copies so skills stay discoverable and loadable after updates. (#64166, #64469) Thanks @extrasmall0.</li>
+<li>Skills: respect overridden home directories when loading personal skills so service, test, and custom launch environments read the intended user skill directory instead of the process home.</li>
+<li>Windows/exec: settle supervisor waits from child exit state after stdout and stderr drain even when <code>close</code> never arrives, so CLI commands stop hanging or dying with forced <code>SIGKILL</code> on Windows. (#64072) Thanks @obviyus.</li>
+<li>Browser/sandbox: prevent sandbox browser CDP startup hangs by recreating containers when the browser security hash changes and by waiting on the correct sandbox browser lifecycle. (#62873) Thanks @Syysean.</li>
+<li>QQBot/streaming: make block streaming configurable per QQ bot account via <code>streaming.mode</code> (<code>"partial"</code> | <code>"off"</code>, default <code>"partial"</code>) instead of hardcoding it off, so responses can be delivered incrementally. (#63746)</li>
+<li>QQBot/config: allow extra fields in <code>channels.qqbot</code> and <code>channels.qqbot.accounts.*</code> so extended qqbot builds can add new config options without gateway startup failing on schema validation. (#64075) Thanks @WideLee.</li>
+<li>Dreaming/gateway: require <code>operator.admin</code> for persistent <code>/dreaming on|off</code> changes and treat missing gateway client scopes as unprivileged instead of silently allowing config writes. (#63872) Thanks @mbelinky.</li>
+<li>Gateway/pairing: prefer explicit QR bootstrap auth over earlier Tailscale auth classification so iOS <code>/pair qr</code> silent bootstrap pairing does not fall through to <code>pairing required</code>. (#59232) Thanks @ngutman.</li>
+<li>Browser/control: auto-generate browser-control auth tokens for <code>none</code> and <code>trusted-proxy</code> modes, and route browser auth/profile/doctor helpers through the public browser plugin facades. (#63280, #63957) Thanks @pgondhi987.</li>
+<li>Browser/act: centralize <code>/act</code> request normalization and execution dispatch while adding stable machine-readable route-level error codes for invalid requests, selector misuse, evaluate-disabled gating, target mismatch, and existing-session unsupported actions. (#63977) Thanks @joshavant.</li>
+<li>Security/QQBot: enforce media storage boundaries for all outbound local file paths and route image-size probes through SSRF-guarded media fetching instead of raw <code>fetch()</code>. (#63271, #63495) Thanks @pgondhi987.</li>
+<li>Channel setup: ignore workspace plugin shadows when resolving trusted channel setup catalog entries so onboarding and setup flows keep using the bundled, trusted setup contract.</li>
+<li>Gateway/memory startup: load the explicitly selected memory-slot plugin during gateway startup, while keeping restrictive allowlists and implicit default memory slots from auto-starting unrelated memory plugins. (#64423) Thanks @EronFan.</li>
+<li>Config/plugins: let config writes keep disabled plugin entries without forcing required plugin config schemas or crashing raw plugin validation, and avoid re-activating plugin registry state during schema checks. (#54971, #63296) Thanks @fuller-stack-dev.</li>
+<li>Config validation: surface the actual offending field for strict-schema union failures in bindings, including top-level unexpected keys on the matching ACP branch. (#40841) Thanks @Hollychou924.</li>
+<li>Wizard/plugin config: coerce integer-typed plugin config fields from interactive text input so integer schema values persist as numbers instead of failing validation. (#63346) Thanks @jalehman.</li>
+<li>Daemon/gateway install: preserve safe custom service env vars on forced reinstall, merge prior custom PATH segments behind the managed service PATH, and stop removed managed env keys from persisting as custom carryover. (#63136) Thanks @WarrenJones.</li>
+<li>Cron/scheduling: treat <code>nextRunAtMs <= 0</code> as invalid across cron update, maintenance, timer, and stale-delivery paths so corrupted zero timestamps self-heal instead of causing immediate runs or skipped deliveries. (#63507) Thanks @WarrenJones.</li>
+<li>Cron/auth: resolve auth profiles consistently for isolated cron jobs so scheduled runs use the same configured provider credentials as interactive sessions. (#62797) Thanks @neeravmakwana.</li>
+<li>Tasks: let <code>openclaw tasks cancel</code> cancel stuck background tasks that never reached a normal terminal state. (#62506) Thanks @neeravmakwana.</li>
+<li>Sessions/model selection: preserve catalog-backed session model labels, provider-qualified context limits, and already-qualified session model refs when catalog metadata is unavailable, so model selection and memory/context budgets survive reloads without bogus provider prefixes. (#61382, #62493) Thanks @Mule-ME.</li>
+<li>Status: show configured fallback models in <code>/status</code> and shared session status cards so per-agent fallback configuration is visible before a live failover happens. (#33111) Thanks @AnCoSONG.</li>
+<li><code>/context detail</code> now compares the tracked prompt estimate with cached context usage and surfaces untracked provider/runtime overhead when present. (#28391) Thanks @ImLukeF.</li>
+<li>Gateway/sessions: scope bare <code>sessions.create</code> aliases like <code>main</code> to the requested agent while preserving the canonical <code>global</code> and <code>unknown</code> sentinel keys. (#58207) Thanks @jalehman.</li>
+<li>Gateway/session reset: emit the typed <code>before_reset</code> hook for gateway <code>/new</code> and <code>/reset</code>, preserving reset-hook behavior even when the previous transcript has already been archived. (#53872) Thanks @VACInc.</li>
+<li>Plugins/commands: pass the active host <code>sessionKey</code> into plugin command contexts, and include <code>sessionId</code> when it is already available from the active session entry, so bundled and third-party commands can resolve the current conversation reliably. (#59044) Thanks @jalehman.</li>
+<li>Agents/auth: honor <code>models.providers.*.authHeader</code> for pi embedded runner model requests by injecting <code>Authorization: Bearer <apiKey></code> when requested. (#54390) Thanks @lndyzwdxhs.</li>
+<li>Claude CLI: clear inherited Anthropic auth/header environment aliases before spawning Claude Code and add sanitized CLI backend auth-env diagnostics for debugging gateway-run provider selection.</li>
+<li>Agents/failover: classify AbortError and stream-abort messages as timeout so Ollama NDJSON stream aborts stop showing <code>reason=unknown</code> in model fallback logs. (#58324) Thanks @yelog.</li>
+<li>Fireworks/FirePass: disable Kimi K2.5 Turbo reasoning output by forcing thinking off on the FirePass path and hardening the provider wrapper so hidden reasoning no longer leaks into visible replies. (#63607) Thanks @frankekn.</li>
+<li>Discord: update Carbon to v0.15.0. Thanks @thewilloftheshadow.</li>
+<li>Config/Discord: coerce safe integer numeric Discord IDs to strings during config validation, keep unsafe or precision-losing numeric snowflakes rejected, and align <code>openclaw doctor</code> repair guidance with the same fail-closed behavior. (#45125) Thanks @moliendocode.</li>
+<li>BlueBubbles/config: accept <code>enrichGroupParticipantsFromContacts</code> in the core strict config schema so gateways no longer fail validation or startup when the BlueBubbles plugin writes that field. (#56889) Thanks @zqchris.</li>
+<li>Feishu/webhooks: read webhook bodies through the pre-auth guard so unauthenticated webhook traffic stays under the same body budget as other protected channel ingress paths.</li>
+<li>Tools/web_fetch: add an opt-in <code>tools.web.fetch.ssrfPolicy.allowRfc2544BenchmarkRange</code> config so fake-IP proxy environments that resolve public sites into <code>198.18.0.0/15</code> can use <code>web_fetch</code> without weakening the default SSRF block. (#61830) Thanks @xing-xing-coder.</li>
+<li>Dreaming/cron: reconcile managed dreaming cron from startup config and runtime lifecycle changes, but only recover managed dreaming cron state during heartbeat-triggered dreaming checks so ordinary chat traffic does not recreate removed jobs. (#63873, #63929, #63938) Thanks @mbelinky.</li>
+<li>Memory/lancedb: accept <code>dreaming</code> config when <code>memory-lancedb</code> owns the memory slot so Dreaming surfaces can read slot-owner settings without schema rejection. (#63874) Thanks @mbelinky.</li>
+<li>Control UI/dreaming: keep the Dreaming trace area contained and scrollable so overlays no longer cover tabs or blow out the page layout. (#63875) Thanks @mbelinky.</li>
+<li>Dreaming/narrative: harden request-scoped diary fallback so scheduled dreaming only falls back on the dedicated subagent-runtime error, stop trusting spoofable raw error-code objects, and avoid leaking workspace paths when local fallback writes fail. (#64156) Thanks @mbelinky.</li>
+<li>Dreaming/diary: add idempotent narrative subagent runs, preserve restrictive <code>DREAMS.md</code> permissions during atomic writes, and surface temp cleanup failures so repeated sweeps do not double-run the same narrative request or silently weaken diary safety. (#63876) Thanks @mbelinky.</li>
+<li>Heartbeats/sessions: remove stale accumulated isolated heartbeat session keys when the next tick converges them back to the canonical sibling, so repaired sessions stop showing orphaned <code>:heartbeat:heartbeat</code> variants in session listings. (#59606) Thanks @rogerdigital.</li>
+<li>Gateway/run cleanup: fix stale run-context TTL cleanup so the new maintenance sweep resets orphaned run sequence state and prevents unbounded run-context growth. (#52731) Thanks @artwalker.</li>
+<li>UI/compaction: keep the compaction indicator in a retry-pending state until the run actually finishes, so the UI does not show <code>Context compacted</code> before compaction actually finishes. (#55132) Thanks @mpz4life.</li>
+<li>Cron/tool schemas: keep cron tool schemas strict-model-friendly while still preserving <code>failureAlert=false</code>, nullable <code>agentId</code>/<code>sessionKey</code>, and flattened add/update recovery for the newly exposed cron job fields. (#55043) Thanks @brunolorente.</li>
+<li>Git metadata: read commit ids from packed refs as well as loose refs so version and status metadata stay accurate after repository maintenance. (#63943)</li>
+<li>Gateway: keep <code>commands.list</code> skill entries categorized under tools and include provider-aware plugin <code>nativeName</code> metadata even when <code>scope=text</code>, so remote clients can group skills correctly and map text-surface plugin commands back to native aliases. (#64147)</li>
+<li>TUI: reset footer activity to idle when switching sessions so a stale streaming indicator cannot persist after the selection changes. (#63988) Thanks @neeravmakwana.</li>
+<li>Claude CLI: stop marking spawned Claude Code runs as host-managed so they keep using normal CLI subscription behavior. (#64023) Thanks @Alex-Alaniz.</li>
+<li>Codex auth: brand Codex OAuth flows as OpenClaw in user-visible auth prompts and diagnostics.</li>
+<li>Gateway/pairing: fail closed for paired device records that have no device tokens, and reject pairing approvals whose requested scopes do not match the requested device roles.</li>
+<li>ACP/gateway chat: classify lifecycle errors before forwarding them to ACP clients so refusals use ACP's refusal stop reason while transient backend errors continue to finish as normal turns.</li>
+<li>Claude CLI/skills: pass eligible OpenClaw skills into CLI runs, including native Claude Code skill resolution via a temporary plugin plus per-run skill env/API key injection. (#62686, #62723) Thanks @zomars.</li>
+<li>Discord: keep generated auto-thread names working with reasoning models by giving title generation enough output budget for thinking plus visible title text. (#64172) Thanks @hanamizuki.</li>
+<li>Heartbeat: ignore doc-only Markdown fence markers in the default <code>HEARTBEAT.md</code> template so comment-only heartbeat scaffolds skip API calls again. (#61690, #63434) Thanks @ravyg.</li>
+<li>Reply/skills: keep resolved skill and memory secret config stable through embedded reply runs so raw SecretRefs in secondary skill settings no longer crash replies when the gateway already has the live env. (#64249) Thanks @mbelinky.</li>
+<li>Dreaming/startup: keep plugin-registered startup hooks alive across workspace hook reloads and include dreaming startup owners in the gateway startup plugin scope, so managed Dreaming cron registration comes back reliably after gateway boot. (#62327, #64258) Thanks @mbelinky.</li>
+<li>Plugins: treat duplicate <code>registerService</code> calls from the same plugin id as idempotent so snapshot and activation loads no longer emit spurious <code>service already registered</code> diagnostics. (#62033, #64128) Thanks @ly85206559.</li>
+<li>Discord/TTS: route auto voice replies through the native voice-note path so Discord receives Opus voice messages instead of regular audio attachments. (#64096) Thanks @LiuHuaize.</li>
+<li>Config/plugins: use plugin-owned command alias metadata when <code>plugins.allow</code> contains runtime command names like <code>dreaming</code>, and point users at the owning plugin instead of stale plugin-not-found guidance. (#64191, #64242) Thanks @feiskyer.</li>
+<li>Agents/Gemini: strip orphaned <code>required</code> entries from Gemini tool schemas so provider validation no longer rejects tools after schema cleanup or union flattening. (#64284) Thanks @xxxxxmax.</li>
+<li>Assistant text: strip Qwen-style XML tool call payloads from visible replies so web and channel messages no longer show raw <code><tool_call><function=...></code> output. (#63999, #64214) Thanks @MoerAI.</li>
+<li>Daemon/gateway: prevent systemd restart storms on configuration errors by exiting with <code>EX_CONFIG</code> and adding generated unit restart-prevention guards. (#63913) Thanks @neo1027144-creator.</li>
+<li>Agents/exec: prevent gateway crash ("Agent listener invoked outside active run") when a subagent exec tool produces stdout/stderr after the agent run has ended or been aborted. (#62821) Thanks @openperf.</li>
+<li>Gateway/OpenAI compat: return real <code>usage</code> for non-stream <code>/v1/chat/completions</code> responses, emit the final usage chunk when <code>stream_options.include_usage=true</code>, and bound usage-gated stream finalization after lifecycle end. (#62986) Thanks @Lellansin.</li>
+<li>Matrix/migration: keep packaged warning-only crypto migrations from being misclassified as actionable when only helper chunks are present, so startup and doctor stay on the warning-only path instead of creating unnecessary migration snapshots. (#64373) Thanks @gumadeiras.</li>
+<li>Matrix/ACP thread bindings: preserve canonical room casing and parent conversation routing during ACP session spawn so mixed-case room ids bind correctly from top-level rooms and existing Matrix threads. (#64343) Thanks @gumadeiras.</li>
+<li>Agents/subagents: deduplicate delivered completion announces so retry or re-entry cleanup does not inject duplicate internal-context completion turns into the parent session. (#61525) Thanks @100yenadmin.</li>
+<li>Agents/exec: keep sandboxed <code>tools.exec.host=auto</code> sessions from honoring per-call <code>host=node</code> or <code>host=gateway</code> overrides while a sandbox runtime is active, and stop advertising node routing in that state so exec stays on the sandbox host. (#63880)</li>
+<li>Agents/subagents: preserve archived delete-mode runs until <code>sessions.delete</code> succeeds and prevent overlapping archive sweeps from duplicating in-flight cleanup attempts. (#61801) Thanks @100yenadmin.</li>
+<li>Cron/isolated agent: run scheduled agent turns as non-owner senders so owner-only tools stay unavailable during cron execution. (#63878)</li>
+<li>Discord/sandbox: include <code>image</code> in sandbox media param normalization so Discord event cover images cannot bypass sandbox path rewriting. (#64377) Thanks @mmaps.</li>
+<li>Agents/exec: extend exec completion detection to cover local background exec formats so the owner-downgrade fires correctly for all exec paths. (#64376) Thanks @mmaps.</li>
+<li>Security/dependencies: pin axios to 1.15.0 and add a plugin install dependency denylist that blocks known malicious packages before install. (#63891) Thanks @mmaps.</li>
+<li>Browser/security: apply three-phase interaction navigation guard to pressKey and type(submit) so delayed JS redirects from keypress cannot bypass SSRF policy. (#63889) Thanks @mmaps.</li>
+</ul>
+<ul>
+<li>Browser/security: guard existing-session Chrome MCP interaction routes with SSRF post-checks so delayed navigation from click, type, press, and evaluate cannot bypass the configured policy. (#64370) Thanks @eleqtrizit.</li>
+<li>Browser/security: default browser SSRF policy to strict mode so unconfigured installs block private-network navigation, and align external-content marker span mapping so ZWS-injected boundary spoofs are fully sanitized. (#63885) Thanks @eleqtrizit.</li>
+<li>Browser/security: apply SSRF navigation policy to subframe document navigations so iframe-targeted private-network hops are blocked without quarantining the parent page. (#64371) Thanks @eleqtrizit.</li>
+<li>Hooks/security: mark agent hook system events as untrusted and sanitize hook display names before cron metadata reuse. (#64372) Thanks @eleqtrizit.</li>
+<li>Daemon/launchd: keep <code>openclaw gateway stop</code> persistent without uninstalling the macOS LaunchAgent, re-enable it on explicit restart or repair, and harden launchd label handling. (#64447) Thanks @ngutman.</li>
+<li>Plugins/context engines: preserve <code>plugins.slots.contextEngine</code> through normalization and keep explicitly selected workspace context-engine plugins enabled, so loader diagnostics and plugin activation stop dropping that slot selection. (#64192) Thanks @hclsys.</li>
+<li>Heartbeat: stop top-level <code>interval:</code> and <code>prompt:</code> fields outside the <code>tasks:</code> block from bleeding into the last parsed heartbeat task. (#64488) Thanks @Rahulkumar070.</li>
+<li>Agents/OpenAI replay: preserve malformed function-call arguments in stored assistant history, avoid double-encoding preserved raw strings on replay, and coerce replayed string args back to objects at Anthropic and Google provider boundaries. (#61956) Thanks @100yenadmin.</li>
+<li>Heartbeat/config: accept and honor <code>agents.defaults.heartbeat.timeoutSeconds</code> and per-agent heartbeat timeout overrides for heartbeat agent turns. (#64491) Thanks @cedillarack.</li>
+<li>CLI/devices: make implicit <code>openclaw devices approve</code> selection preview-only and require approving the exact request ID, preventing latest-request races during device pairing. (#64160) Thanks @coygeek.</li>
+<li>Media/security: honor sender-scoped <code>toolsBySender</code> policy for outbound host-media reads so denied senders cannot trigger host file disclosure via attachment hydration. (#64459) Thanks @eleqtrizit.</li>
+<li>Browser/security: reject strict-policy hostname navigation unless the hostname is an explicit allowlist exception or IP literal, and route CDP HTTP discovery through the pinned SSRF fetch path. (#64367) Thanks @eleqtrizit.</li>
+<li>Models/vLLM: ignore empty <code>tool_calls</code> arrays from reasoning-model OpenAI-compatible replies, reset false <code>toolUse</code> stop reasons when no actual tool calls were parsed, and stop sending <code>tool_choice</code> unless tools are present so vLLM reasoning responses no longer hang indefinitely. (#61197, #61534) Thanks @balajisiva.</li>
+<li>Heartbeat/scheduling: spread interval heartbeats across stable per-agent phases derived from gateway identity, so provider traffic is distributed more uniformly across the configured interval instead of clustering around startup-relative times. (#64560) Thanks @odysseus0.</li>

+# Docs Guide
+
+This directory owns docs authoring, Mintlify link rules, and docs i18n policy.
+
+## Mintlify Rules
+
+- Docs are hosted on Mintlify (`https://docs.openclaw.ai`).
+- Internal doc links in `docs/**/*.md` must stay root-relative with no `.md` or `.mdx` suffix (example: `[Config](/configuration)`).
+- Section cross-references should use anchors on root-relative paths (example: `[Hooks](/configuration#hooks)`).
+- Doc headings should avoid em dashes and apostrophes because Mintlify anchor generation is brittle there.
+- README and other GitHub-rendered docs should keep absolute docs URLs so links work outside Mintlify.
+- Docs content must stay generic: no personal device names, hostnames, or local paths; use placeholders like `user@gateway-host`.
+
+## Docs Content Rules
+
+- For docs, UI copy, and picker lists, order services/providers alphabetically unless the section is explicitly describing runtime order or auto-detection order.
+- Keep bundled plugin naming consistent with the repo-wide plugin terminology rules in the root `AGENTS.md`.
+
+## Docs i18n
+
+- Foreign-language docs are not maintained in this repo. The generated publish output lives in the separate `openclaw/docs` repo (often cloned locally as `../openclaw-docs`).
+- Do not add or edit localized docs under `docs/<locale>/**` here.
+- Treat English docs in this repo plus glossary files as the source of truth.
+- Pipeline: update English docs here, update `docs/.i18n/glossary.<locale>.json` as needed, then let the publish-repo sync and `scripts/docs-i18n` run in `openclaw/docs`.
+- Before rerunning `scripts/docs-i18n`, add glossary entries for any new technical terms, page titles, or short nav labels that must stay in English or use a fixed translation.
+- `pnpm docs:check-i18n-glossary` is the guard for changed English doc titles and short internal doc labels.
+- Translation memory lives in generated `docs/.i18n/*.tm.jsonl` files in the publish repo.
+- See `docs/.i18n/README.md`.

+### Day-of-month and day-of-week use OR logic
+
+Cron expressions are parsed by [croner](https://github.com/Hexagon/croner). When both the day-of-month and day-of-week fields are non-wildcard, croner matches when **either** field matches — not both. This is standard Vixie cron behavior.
+
+```
+# Intended: "9 AM on the 15th, only if it's a Monday"
+# Actual:   "9 AM on every 15th, AND 9 AM on every Monday"
+0 9 15 * 1
+```
+
+This fires ~5–6 times per month instead of 0–1 times per month. OpenClaw uses Croner's default OR behavior here. To require both conditions, use Croner's `+` day-of-week modifier (`0 9 15 * +1`) or schedule on one field and guard the other in your job's prompt or command.

-# Feishu bot
+# Feishu / Lark
 
-Feishu (Lark) is a team chat platform used by companies for messaging and collaboration. This plugin connects OpenClaw to a Feishu/Lark bot using the platform’s WebSocket event subscription so messages can be received without exposing a public webhook URL.
+Feishu/Lark is an all-in-one collaboration platform where teams chat, share documents, manage calendars, and get work done together.
+
+**Status:** production-ready for bot DMs + group chats. WebSocket is the default mode; webhook mode is optional.
 
 ---
 
-## Bundled plugin
-
-Feishu ships bundled with current OpenClaw releases, so no separate plugin install
-is required.
-
-If you are using an older build or a custom install that does not include bundled
-Feishu, install it manually:
-
-```bash
-openclaw plugins install @openclaw/feishu
-```
-
----
-
-## Quickstart
-
-There are two ways to add the Feishu channel:
-
-### Method 1: onboarding (recommended)
-
-If you just installed OpenClaw, run onboarding:
-
-```bash
-openclaw onboard
-```
-
-The wizard guides you through:
-
-1. Creating a Feishu app and collecting credentials
-2. Configuring app credentials in OpenClaw
-3. Starting the gateway
-
-✅ **After configuration**, check gateway status:
-
-- `openclaw gateway status`
-- `openclaw logs --follow`
-
-### Method 2: CLI setup
-
-If you already completed initial install, add the channel via CLI:
-
-```bash
-openclaw channels add
-```
-
-Choose **Feishu**, then enter the App ID and App Secret.
-
-✅ **After configuration**, manage the gateway:
-
-- `openclaw gateway status`
-- `openclaw gateway restart`
-- `openclaw logs --follow`
-
----
-
-## Step 1: Create a Feishu app
-
-### 1. Open Feishu Open Platform
-
-Visit [Feishu Open Platform](https://open.feishu.cn/app) and sign in.
-
-Lark (global) tenants should use [https://open.larksuite.com/app](https://open.larksuite.com/app) and set `domain: "lark"` in the Feishu config.
-
-### 2. Create an app
-
-1. Click **Create enterprise app**
-2. Fill in the app name + description
-3. Choose an app icon
-
-![Create enterprise app](/images/feishu-step2-create-app.png)
-
-### 3. Copy credentials
-
-From **Credentials & Basic Info**, copy:
-
-- **App ID** (format: `cli_xxx`)
-- **App Secret**
-
-❗ **Important:** keep the App Secret private.
-
-![Get credentials](/images/feishu-step3-credentials.png)
-
-### 4. Configure permissions
-
-On **Permissions**, click **Batch import** and paste:
-
-```json
-{
-  "scopes": {
-    "tenant": [
-      "aily:file:read",
-      "aily:file:write",
-      "application:application.app_message_stats.overview:readonly",
-      "application:application:self_manage",
-      "application:bot.menu:write",
-      "cardkit:card:read",

-      "im:chat.members:bot_access",
-      "im:message",
-      "im:message.group_at_msg:readonly",
-      "im:message.p2p_msg:readonly",
-      "im:message:readonly",
-      "im:message:send_as_bot",
-      "im:resource"
-    ],
-    "user": ["aily:file:read", "aily:file:write", "im:chat.access_event.bot_p2p_chat:read"]
-  }
-}
-```
-
-![Configure permissions](/images/feishu-step4-permissions.png)
-
-### 5. Enable bot capability
-
-In **App Capability** > **Bot**:
-
-1. Enable bot capability
-2. Set the bot name
-
-![Enable bot capability](/images/feishu-step5-bot-capability.png)
-
-### 6. Configure event subscription
-
-⚠️ **Important:** before setting event subscription, make sure:
-
-1. You already ran `openclaw channels add` for Feishu
-2. The gateway is running (`openclaw gateway status`)
-
-In **Event Subscription**:
-
-1. Choose **Use long connection to receive events** (WebSocket)
-2. Add the event: `im.message.receive_v1`
-3. (Optional) For Drive comment workflows, also add: `drive.notice.comment_add_v1`
-
-⚠️ If the gateway is not running, the long-connection setup may fail to save.
-
-![Configure event subscription](/images/feishu-step6-event-subscription.png)
-
-### 7. Publish the app
-
-1. Create a version in **Version Management & Release**
-2. Submit for review and publish
-3. Wait for admin approval (enterprise apps usually auto-approve)
-
----
-
-## Step 2: Configure OpenClaw
-
-### Configure with the wizard (recommended)
-
-```bash
-openclaw channels add
-```
-
-Choose **Feishu** and paste your App ID + App Secret.
-
-### Configure via config file
-
-Edit `~/.openclaw/openclaw.json`:
-
-```json5
-{
-  channels: {
-    feishu: {
-      enabled: true,
-      dmPolicy: "pairing",
-      accounts: {
-        main: {
-          appId: "cli_xxx",
-          appSecret: "xxx",
-          name: "My AI assistant",
-        },
-      },
-    },
-  },
-}
-```
-
-If you use `connectionMode: "webhook"`, set both `verificationToken` and `encryptKey`. The Feishu webhook server binds to `127.0.0.1` by default; set `webhookHost` only if you intentionally need a different bind address.
-
-#### Verification Token and Encrypt Key (webhook mode)
-
-When using webhook mode, set both `channels.feishu.verificationToken` and `channels.feishu.encryptKey` in your config. To get the values:
-
-1. In Feishu Open Platform, open your app
-2. Go to **Development** → **Events & Callbacks** (开发配置 → 事件与回调)
-3. Open the **Encryption** tab (加密策略)
-4. Copy **Verification Token** and **Encrypt Key**
-
-The screenshot below shows where to find the **Verification Token**. The **Encrypt Key** is listed in the same **Encryption** section.
-
-![Verification Token location](/images/feishu-verification-token.png)
-
-### Configure via environment variables
-
-```bash
-export FEISHU_APP_ID="cli_xxx"
-export FEISHU_APP_SECRET="xxx"
-```
-
-### Lark (global) domain
-
-If your tenant is on Lark (international), set the domain to `lark` (or a full domain string). You can set it at `channels.feishu.domain` or per account (`channels.feishu.accounts.<id>.domain`).
-
-```json5
-{
-  channels: {
-    feishu: {
-      domain: "lark",
-      accounts: {
-        main: {
-          appId: "cli_xxx",
-          appSecret: "xxx",
-        },
-      },
-    },
-  },
-}
-```
-
-### Quota optimization flags
-
-You can reduce Feishu API usage with two optional flags:
-
-- `typingIndicator` (default `true`): when `false`, skip typing reaction calls.
-- `resolveSenderNames` (default `true`): when `false`, skip sender profile lookup calls.
-
-Set them at top level or per account:
-
-```json5
-{
-  channels: {
-    feishu: {
-      typingIndicator: false,
-      resolveSenderNames: false,
-      accounts: {
-        main: {
-          appId: "cli_xxx",
-          appSecret: "xxx",
-          typingIndicator: true,
-          resolveSenderNames: false,
-        },
-      },
-    },
-  },
-}
-```
-
----
-
-## Step 3: Start + test
-
-### 1. Start the gateway
-
-```bash
-openclaw gateway
-```
-
-### 2. Send a test message
-
-In Feishu, find your bot and send a message.
-
-### 3. Approve pairing
-
-By default, the bot replies with a pairing code. Approve it:
-
-```bash
-openclaw pairing approve feishu <CODE>
-```
-
-After approval, you can chat normally.
-
----
-
-## Overview
-
-- **Feishu bot channel**: Feishu bot managed by the gateway
-- **Deterministic routing**: replies always return to Feishu
-- **Session isolation**: DMs share a main session; groups are isolated
-- **WebSocket connection**: long connection via Feishu SDK, no public URL needed
+## Quick start
+
+> **Requires OpenClaw 2026.4.10 or above.** Run `openclaw --version` to check. Upgrade with `openclaw update`.
+
+<Steps>
+  <Step title="Run the channel setup wizard">
+  ```bash
+  openclaw channels login --channel feishu
+  ```
+  Scan the QR code with your Feishu/Lark mobile app to create a Feishu/Lark bot automatically.
+  </Step>
+  
+  <Step title="After setup completes, restart the gateway to apply the changes">
+  ```bash
+  openclaw gateway restart

-## Drive comments
-
-Feishu can trigger the agent when someone adds a comment on a Feishu Drive document (Docs, Sheets,
-etc.). The agent receives the comment text, document context, and the comment thread so it can
-respond in-thread or make document edits.
-
-Requirements:
-
-- Subscribe to `drive.notice.comment_add_v1` in your Feishu app event subscription settings
-  (alongside the existing `im.message.receive_v1`)
-- The Drive tool is enabled by default; disable with `channels.feishu.tools.drive: false`
-
-The `feishu_drive` tool exposes these comment actions:
-
-| Action                 | Description                         |
-| ---------------------- | ----------------------------------- |
-| `list_comments`        | List comments on a document         |
-| `list_comment_replies` | List replies in a comment thread    |
-| `add_comment`          | Add a new top-level comment         |
-| `reply_comment`        | Reply to an existing comment thread |
-
-When the agent handles a Drive comment event, it receives:
-
-- the comment text and sender
-- document metadata (title, type, URL)
-- the comment thread context for in-thread replies
-
-After making document edits, the agent is guided to use `feishu_drive.reply_comment` to notify the
-commenter and then output the exact silent token `NO_REPLY` / `no_reply` to
-avoid duplicate sends.
-
-## Runtime action surface
-
-Feishu currently exposes these runtime actions:
-
-- `send`
-- `read`
-- `edit`
-- `thread-reply`
-- `pin`
-- `list-pins`
-- `unpin`
-- `member-info`
-- `channel-info`
-- `channel-list`
-- `react` and `reactions` when reactions are enabled in config
-- `feishu_drive` comment actions: `list_comments`, `list_comment_replies`, `add_comment`, `reply_comment`

 - Activation modes: `mention` (default) or `always`. `mention` requires a ping (real WhatsApp @-mentions via `mentionedJids`, safe regex patterns, or the bot’s E.164 anywhere in the text). `always` wakes the agent on every message but it should reply only when it can add meaningful value; otherwise it returns the exact silent token `NO_REPLY` / `no_reply`. Defaults can be set in config (`channels.whatsapp.groups`) and overridden per group via `/activation`. When `channels.whatsapp.groups` is set, it also acts as a group allowlist (include `"*"` to allow all).
 - Group policy: `channels.whatsapp.groupPolicy` controls whether group messages are accepted (`open|disabled|allowlist`). `allowlist` uses `channels.whatsapp.groupAllowFrom` (fallback: explicit `channels.whatsapp.allowFrom`). Default is `allowlist` (blocked until you add senders).

 Partial shared auth defaults do not create a separate implicit default account by themselves.

+## Federated Authentication (Certificate + Managed Identity)
+
+> Added in 2026.3.24
+
+For production deployments, OpenClaw supports **federated authentication** as a more secure alternative to client secrets. Two methods are available:
+
+### Option A: Certificate-based authentication
+
+Use a PEM certificate registered with your Entra ID app registration.
+
+**Setup:**
+
+1. Generate or obtain a certificate (PEM format with private key).
+2. In Entra ID → App Registration → **Certificates & secrets** → **Certificates** → Upload the public certificate.
+
+**Config:**
+
+```json5
+{
+  channels: {
+    msteams: {
+      enabled: true,
+      appId: "<APP_ID>",
+      tenantId: "<TENANT_ID>",
+      authType: "federated",
+      certificatePath: "/path/to/cert.pem",
+      webhook: { port: 3978, path: "/api/messages" },
+    },
+  },
+}
+```
+
+**Env vars:**
+
+- `MSTEAMS_AUTH_TYPE=federated`
+- `MSTEAMS_CERTIFICATE_PATH=/path/to/cert.pem`
+
+### Option B: Azure Managed Identity
+
+Use Azure Managed Identity for passwordless authentication. This is ideal for deployments on Azure infrastructure (AKS, App Service, Azure VMs) where a managed identity is available.
+
+**How it works:**
+
+1. The bot pod/VM has a managed identity (system-assigned or user-assigned).
+2. A **federated identity credential** links the managed identity to the Entra ID app registration.
+3. At runtime, OpenClaw uses `@azure/identity` to acquire tokens from the Azure IMDS endpoint (`169.254.169.254`).
+4. The token is passed to the Teams SDK for bot authentication.
+
+**Prerequisites:**
+
+- Azure infrastructure with managed identity enabled (AKS workload identity, App Service, VM)
+- Federated identity credential created on the Entra ID app registration
+- Network access to IMDS (`169.254.169.254:80`) from the pod/VM
+
+**Config (system-assigned managed identity):**
+
+```json5
+{
+  channels: {
+    msteams: {
+      enabled: true,
+      appId: "<APP_ID>",
+      tenantId: "<TENANT_ID>",
+      authType: "federated",
+      useManagedIdentity: true,
+      webhook: { port: 3978, path: "/api/messages" },
+    },
+  },
+}
+```
+
+**Config (user-assigned managed identity):**
+
+```json5
+{
+  channels: {
+    msteams: {
+      enabled: true,
+      appId: "<APP_ID>",
+      tenantId: "<TENANT_ID>",
+      authType: "federated",
+      useManagedIdentity: true,
+      managedIdentityClientId: "<MI_CLIENT_ID>",
+      webhook: { port: 3978, path: "/api/messages" },
+    },
+  },
+}
+```
+
+**Env vars:**
+
+- `MSTEAMS_AUTH_TYPE=federated`
+- `MSTEAMS_USE_MANAGED_IDENTITY=true`
+- `MSTEAMS_MANAGED_IDENTITY_CLIENT_ID=<client-id>` (only for user-assigned)
+
+### AKS Workload Identity Setup
+
+For AKS deployments using workload identity:
+
+1. **Enable workload identity** on your AKS cluster.
+2. **Create a federated identity credential** on the Entra ID app registration:
+
+   ```bash
+   az ad app federated-credential create --id <APP_OBJECT_ID> --parameters '{
+     "name": "my-bot-workload-identity",
+     "issuer": "<AKS_OIDC_ISSUER_URL>",
+     "subject": "system:serviceaccount:<NAMESPACE>:<SERVICE_ACCOUNT>",
+     "audiences": ["api://AzureADTokenExchange"]
+   }'
+   ```
+
+3. **Annotate the Kubernetes service account** with the app client ID:
+
+   ```yaml
+   apiVersion: v1
+   kind: ServiceAccount
+   metadata:
+     name: my-bot-sa
+     annotations:
+       azure.workload.identity/client-id: "<APP_CLIENT_ID>"
+   ```
+
+4. **Label the pod** for workload identity injection:
+
+   ```yaml
+   metadata:
+     labels:
+       azure.workload.identity/use: "true"
+   ```
+
+5. **Ensure network access** to IMDS (`169.254.169.254`) — if using NetworkPolicy, add an egress rule allowing traffic to `169.254.169.254/32` on port 80.

+## Common issues
+
+### Embedding provider changed unexpectedly
+
+Active Memory uses the normal `memory_search` pipeline under
+`agents.defaults.memorySearch`. That means embedding-provider setup is only a
+requirement when your `memorySearch` setup requires embeddings for the behavior
+you want.
+
+In practice:
+
+- explicit provider setup is **required** if you want a provider that is not
+  auto-detected, such as `ollama`
+- explicit provider setup is **required** if auto-detection does not resolve
+  any usable embedding provider for your environment
+- explicit provider setup is **highly recommended** if you want deterministic
+  provider selection instead of "first available wins"
+- explicit provider setup is usually **not required** if auto-detection already
+  resolves the provider you want and that provider is stable in your deployment
+
+If `memorySearch.provider` is unset, OpenClaw auto-detects the first available
+embedding provider.
+
+That can be confusing in real deployments:
+
+- a newly available API key can change which provider memory search uses
+- one command or diagnostics surface may make the selected provider look
+  different from the path you are actually hitting during live memory sync or
+  search bootstrap
+- hosted providers can fail with quota or rate-limit errors that only show up
+  once Active Memory starts issuing recall searches before each reply
+
+Active Memory can still run without embeddings when `memory_search` can operate
+in degraded lexical-only mode, which typically happens when no embedding
+provider can be resolved.
+
+Do not assume the same fallback on provider runtime failures such as quota
+exhaustion, rate limits, network/provider errors, or missing local/remote
+models after a provider has already been selected.
+
+In practice:
+
+- if no embedding provider can be resolved, `memory_search` may degrade to
+  lexical-only retrieval
+- if an embedding provider is resolved and then fails at runtime, OpenClaw does
+  not currently guarantee a lexical fallback for that request
+- if you need deterministic provider selection, pin
+  `agents.defaults.memorySearch.provider`
+- if you need provider failover on runtime errors, configure
+  `agents.defaults.memorySearch.fallback` explicitly
+
+If you depend on embedding-backed recall, multimodal indexing, or a specific
+local/remote provider, pin the provider explicitly instead of relying on
+auto-detection.
+
+Common pinning examples:
+
+OpenAI:
+
+```json5
+{
+  agents: {
+    defaults: {
+      memorySearch: {
+        provider: "openai",
+        model: "text-embedding-3-small",
+      },
+    },
+  },
+}
+```
+
+Gemini:
+
+```json5
+{
+  agents: {
+    defaults: {
+      memorySearch: {
+        provider: "gemini",
+        model: "gemini-embedding-001",
+      },
+    },
+  },
+}
+```
+
+Ollama:
+
+```json5
+{
+  agents: {
+    defaults: {
+      memorySearch: {
+        provider: "ollama",
+        model: "nomic-embed-text",
+      },
+    },
+  },
+}
+```
+
+If you expect provider failover on runtime errors such as quota exhaustion,
+pinning a provider alone is not enough. Configure an explicit fallback too:
+
+```json5
+{
+  agents: {
+    defaults: {
+      memorySearch: {
+        provider: "openai",
+        fallback: "gemini",
+      },
+    },
+  },
+}
+```
+
+### Debugging provider issues
+
+If Active Memory is slow, empty, or appears to switch providers unexpectedly:
+
+- watch the gateway logs while reproducing the problem; look for lines such as
+  `active-memory: ... start|done`, `memory sync failed (search-bootstrap)`, or
+  provider-specific embedding errors
+- turn on `/trace on` to surface the plugin-owned Active Memory debug summary in
+  the session
+- turn on `/verbose on` if you also want the normal `🧩 Active Memory: ...`
+  status line after each reply
+- run `openclaw memory status --deep` to inspect the current memory-search
+  backend and index health
+- check `agents.defaults.memorySearch.provider` and related auth/config to make
+  sure the provider you expect is actually the one that can resolve at runtime
+- if you use `ollama`, verify the configured embedding model is installed, for
+  example `ollama list`
+
+Example debugging loop:
+
+```text
+1. Start the gateway and watch its logs
+2. In the chat session, run /trace on
+3. Send one message that should trigger Active Memory
+4. Compare the chat-visible debug line with the gateway log lines
+5. If provider choice is ambiguous, pin agents.defaults.memorySearch.provider explicitly
+```
+
+Example:
+
+```json5
+{
+  agents: {
+    defaults: {
+      memorySearch: {
+        provider: "ollama",
+        model: "nomic-embed-text",
+      },
+    },
+  },
+}
+```
+
+Or, if you want Gemini embeddings:
+
+```json5
+{
+  agents: {
+    defaults: {
+      memorySearch: {
+        provider: "gemini",
+      },
+    },
+  },
+}
+```
+
+After changing the provider, restart the gateway and run a fresh test with
+`/trace on` so the Active Memory debug line reflects the new embedding path.

 If only one path is available (no embeddings or no FTS), the other runs alone.
 
+When embeddings are unavailable, OpenClaw still uses lexical ranking over FTS results instead of falling back to raw exact-match ordering only. That degraded mode boosts chunks with stronger query-term coverage and relevant file paths, which keeps recall useful even without `sqlite-vec` or an embedding provider.

+### Docker backend
+
+The Docker backend is the default runtime, executing tools and sandbox browsers locally via the Docker daemon socket (`/var/run/docker.sock`). Sandbox container isolation is determined by Docker namespaces.
+
+**Docker-out-of-Docker (DooD) Constraints**:
+If you deploy the OpenClaw Gateway itself as a Docker container, it orchestrates sibling sandbox containers using the host's Docker socket (DooD). This introduces a specific path mapping constraint:
+
+- **Config Requires Host Paths**: The `openclaw.json` `workspace` configuration MUST contain the **Host's absolute path** (e.g. `/home/user/.openclaw/workspaces`), not the internal Gateway container path. When OpenClaw asks the Docker daemon to spawn a sandbox, the daemon evaluates paths relative to the Host OS namespace, not the Gateway namespace.
+- **FS Bridge Parity (Identical Volume Map)**: The OpenClaw Gateway native process also writes heartbeat and bridge files to the `workspace` directory. Because the Gateway evaluates the exact same string (the host path) from within its own containerized environment, the Gateway deployment MUST include an identical volume map linking the host namespace natively (`-v /home/user/.openclaw:/home/user/.openclaw`).
+
+If you map paths internally without absolute host parity, OpenClaw natively throws an `EACCES` permission error attempting to write its heartbeat inside the container environment because the fully qualified path string doesn't exist natively.
+

+
+- GPT-5 runs act or fail closed instead of stopping at commentary
+- `update_plan` no longer looks like progress by itself
+- behavior stays GPT-5-first and embedded-Pi scoped
+
+### PR B
+
+- auth/proxy/runtime failures stop collapsing into generic “model failed” handling
+- `/elevated full` is only described as available when it is actually available
+- blocked reasons are visible to both the model and the user-facing runtime
+
+### PR C
+
+- strict OpenAI/Codex tool registration behaves predictably
+- parameter-free tools do not fail strict schema checks
+- replay and compaction outcomes preserve truthful liveness state
+
+### PR D
+
+- the scenario pack is understandable and reproducible
+- the pack includes a mutating replay-safety lane, not only read-only flows
+- reports are readable by humans and automation
+- parity claims are evidence-backed, not anecdotal
+
+Expected artifacts from PR D:
+
+- `qa-suite-report.md` / `qa-suite-summary.json` for each model run
+- `qa-agentic-parity-report.md` with aggregate and scenario-level comparison
+- `qa-agentic-parity-summary.json` with a machine-readable verdict
+
+## Release gate
+
+Do not claim GPT-5.4 parity or superiority over Opus 4.6 until:
+
+- PR A, PR B, and PR C are merged
+- PR D runs the first-wave parity pack cleanly
+- runtime-truthfulness regression suites remain green
+- the parity report shows no fake-success cases and no regression in stop behavior

+# GPT-5.4 / Codex Agentic Parity in OpenClaw
+
+OpenClaw already worked well with tool-using frontier models, but GPT-5.4 and Codex-style models were still underperforming in a few practical ways:
+
+- they could stop after planning instead of doing the work
+- they could use strict OpenAI/Codex tool schemas incorrectly
+- they could ask for `/elevated full` even when full access was impossible
+- they could lose long-running task state during replay or compaction
+- parity claims against Claude Opus 4.6 were based on anecdotes instead of repeatable scenarios
+
+This parity program fixes those gaps in four reviewable slices.
+
+## What changed
+
+### PR A: strict-agentic execution
+
+This slice adds an opt-in `strict-agentic` execution contract for embedded Pi GPT-5 runs.
+
+When enabled, OpenClaw stops accepting plan-only turns as “good enough” completion. If the model only says what it intends to do and does not actually use tools or make progress, OpenClaw retries with an act-now steer and then fails closed with an explicit blocked state instead of silently ending the task.
+
+This improves the GPT-5.4 experience most on:
+
+- short “ok do it” follow-ups
+- code tasks where the first step is obvious
+- flows where `update_plan` should be progress tracking rather than filler text
+
+### PR B: runtime truthfulness
+
+This slice makes OpenClaw tell the truth about two things:
+
+- why the provider/runtime call failed
+- whether `/elevated full` is actually available
+
+That means GPT-5.4 gets better runtime signals for missing scope, auth refresh failures, HTML 403 auth failures, proxy issues, DNS or timeout failures, and blocked full-access modes. The model is less likely to hallucinate the wrong remediation or keep asking for a permission mode the runtime cannot provide.
+
+### PR C: execution correctness
+
+This slice improves two kinds of correctness:
+
+- provider-owned OpenAI/Codex tool-schema compatibility
+- replay and long-task liveness surfacing
+
+The tool-compat work reduces schema friction for strict OpenAI/Codex tool registration, especially around parameter-free tools and strict object-root expectations. The replay/liveness work makes long-running tasks more observable, so paused, blocked, and abandoned states are visible instead of disappearing into generic failure text.
+
+### PR D: parity harness
+
+This slice adds the first-wave QA-lab parity pack so GPT-5.4 and Opus 4.6 can be exercised through the same scenarios and compared using shared evidence.
+
+The parity pack is the proof layer. It does not change runtime behavior by itself.
+
+After you have two `qa-suite-summary.json` artifacts, generate the release-gate comparison with:
+
+```bash
+pnpm openclaw qa parity-report \
+  --repo-root . \
+  --candidate-summary .artifacts/qa-e2e/gpt54/qa-suite-summary.json \
+  --baseline-summary .artifacts/qa-e2e/opus46/qa-suite-summary.json \
+  --output-dir .artifacts/qa-e2e/parity
+```
+
+That command writes:
+
+- a human-readable Markdown report
+- a machine-readable JSON verdict
+- an explicit `pass` / `fail` gate result
+
+## Why this improves GPT-5.4 in practice
+
+Before this work, GPT-5.4 on OpenClaw could feel less agentic than Opus in real coding sessions because the runtime tolerated behaviors that are especially harmful for GPT-5-style models:
+
+- commentary-only turns
+- schema friction around tools
+- vague permission feedback
+- silent replay or compaction breakage
+
+The goal is not to make GPT-5.4 imitate Opus. The goal is to give GPT-5.4 a runtime contract that rewards real progress, supplies cleaner tool and permission semantics, and turns failure modes into explicit machine- and human-readable states.
+
+That changes the user experience from:
+
+- “the model had a good plan but stopped”
+
+to:
+
+- “the model either acted, or OpenClaw surfaced the exact reason it could not”
+
+## Before vs after for GPT-5.4 users

+| Before this program                                                                            | After PR A-D                                                                             |

+| Strict tool schemas could reject parameter-free or OpenAI/Codex-shaped tools in confusing ways | PR C makes provider-owned tool registration and invocation more predictable              |
+| `/elevated full` guidance could be vague or wrong in blocked runtimes                          | PR B gives GPT-5.4 and the user truthful runtime and permission hints                    |
+| Replay or compaction failures could feel like the task silently disappeared                    | PR C surfaces paused, blocked, abandoned, and replay-invalid outcomes explicitly         |
+| “GPT-5.4 feels worse than Opus” was mostly anecdotal                                           | PR D turns that into the same scenario pack, the same metrics, and a hard pass/fail gate |

+## Scenario pack
+
+The first-wave parity pack currently covers five scenarios:
+
+### `approval-turn-tool-followthrough`
+
+Checks that the model does not stop at “I’ll do that” after a short approval. It should take the first concrete action in the same turn.
+
+### `model-switch-tool-continuity`
+
+Checks that tool-using work remains coherent across model/runtime switching boundaries instead of resetting into commentary or losing execution context.
+
+### `source-docs-discovery-report`
+
+Checks that the model can read source and docs, synthesize findings, and continue the task agentically rather than producing a thin summary and stopping early.
+
+### `image-understanding-attachment`
+
+Checks that mixed-mode tasks involving attachments remain actionable and do not collapse into vague narration.
+
+### `compaction-retry-mutating-tool`
+
+Checks that a task with a real mutating write keeps replay-unsafety explicit instead of quietly looking replay-safe if the run compacts, retries, or loses reply state under pressure.

+
+## Release gate
+
+GPT-5.4 can only be considered at parity or better when the merged runtime passes the parity pack and the runtime-truthfulness regressions at the same time.
+
+Required outcomes:
+
+- no plan-only stall when the next tool action is clear
+- no fake completion without real execution
+- no incorrect `/elevated full` guidance
+- no silent replay or compaction abandonment
+- parity-pack metrics that are at least as strong as the agreed Opus 4.6 baseline
+
+For the first-wave harness, the gate compares:
+
+- completion rate
+- unintended-stop rate
+- valid-tool-call rate
+- fake-success count
+
+Parity evidence is intentionally split across two layers:
+
+- PR D proves same-scenario GPT-5.4 vs Opus 4.6 behavior with QA-lab
+- PR B deterministic suites prove auth, proxy, DNS, and `/elevated full` truthfulness outside the harness

+
+## How to read the parity verdict
+
+Use the verdict in `qa-agentic-parity-summary.json` as the final machine-readable decision for the first-wave parity pack.
+
+- `pass` means GPT-5.4 covered the same scenarios as Opus 4.6 and did not regress on the agreed aggregate metrics.
+- `fail` means at least one hard gate tripped: weaker completion, worse unintended stops, weaker valid tool use, any fake-success case, or mismatched scenario coverage.
+- “shared/base CI issue” is not itself a parity result. If CI noise outside PR D blocks a run, the verdict should wait for a clean merged-runtime execution instead of being inferred from branch-era logs.
+- Auth, proxy, DNS, and `/elevated full` truthfulness still come from PR B’s deterministic suites, so the final release claim needs both: a passing PR D parity verdict and green PR B truthfulness coverage.
+
+## Who should enable `strict-agentic`
+
+Use `strict-agentic` when:
+
+- the agent is expected to act immediately when a next step is obvious
+- GPT-5.4 or Codex-family models are the primary runtime
+- you prefer explicit blocked states over “helpful” recap-only replies
+
+Keep the default contract when:
+
+- you want the existing looser behavior
+- you are not using GPT-5-family models
+- you are testing prompts rather than runtime enforcement

+1. A transport adapter for the channel.
+2. A scenario pack that exercises the channel contract.
+
+Do not add a new top-level QA command root when the shared `qa-lab` host can
+own the flow.
+
+`qa-lab` owns the shared host mechanics:
+
+- the `openclaw qa` command root
+- suite startup and teardown
+- worker concurrency
+- artifact writing
+- report generation
+- scenario execution
+- compatibility aliases for older `qa-channel` scenarios
+
+Runner plugins own the transport contract:
+
+- how `openclaw qa <runner>` is mounted beneath the shared `qa` root
+- how the gateway is configured for that transport
+- how readiness is checked
+- how inbound events are injected
+- how outbound messages are observed
+- how transcripts and normalized transport state are exposed
+- how transport-backed actions are executed
+- how transport-specific reset or cleanup is handled
+
+The minimum adoption bar for a new channel is:
+
+1. Keep `qa-lab` as the owner of the shared `qa` root.
+2. Implement the transport runner on the shared `qa-lab` host seam.
+3. Keep transport-specific mechanics inside the runner plugin or channel harness.
+4. Mount the runner as `openclaw qa <runner>` instead of registering a competing root command.
+   Runner plugins should declare `qaRunners` in `openclaw.plugin.json` and export a matching `qaRunnerCliRegistrations` array from `runtime-api.ts`.
+   Keep `runtime-api.ts` light; lazy CLI and runner execution should stay behind separate entrypoints.
+5. Author or adapt markdown scenarios under `qa/scenarios/`.
+6. Use the generic scenario helpers for new scenarios.
+7. Keep existing compatibility aliases working unless the repo is doing an intentional migration.
+
+The decision rule is strict:
+
+- If behavior can be expressed once in `qa-lab`, put it in `qa-lab`.
+- If behavior depends on one channel transport, keep it in that runner plugin or plugin harness.
+- If a scenario needs a new capability that more than one channel can use, add a generic helper instead of a channel-specific branch in `suite.ts`.
+- If a behavior is only meaningful for one transport, keep the scenario transport-specific and make that explicit in the scenario contract.
+
+Preferred generic helper names for new scenarios are:
+
+- `waitForTransportReady`
+- `waitForChannelReady`
+- `injectInboundMessage`
+- `injectOutboundMessage`
+- `waitForTransportOutboundMessage`
+- `waitForChannelOutboundMessage`
+- `waitForNoTransportOutbound`
+- `getTransportSnapshot`
+- `readTransportMessage`
+- `readTransportTranscript`
+- `formatTransportTranscript`
+- `resetTransport`
+
+Compatibility aliases remain available for existing scenarios, including:
+
+- `waitForQaChannelReady`
+- `waitForOutboundMessage`
+- `waitForNoOutbound`
+- `formatConversationTranscript`
+- `resetBus`
+
+New channel work should use the generic helper names.
+Compatibility aliases exist to avoid a flag day migration, not as the model for
+new scenario authoring.

+# Hostinger
+
+Run a persistent OpenClaw Gateway on [Hostinger](https://www.hostinger.com/openclaw) via a **1-Click** managed deployment or a **VPS** install.
+
+## Prerequisites
+
+- Hostinger account ([signup](https://www.hostinger.com/openclaw))
+- About 5-10 minutes
+
+## Option A: 1-Click OpenClaw
+
+The fastest way to get started. Hostinger handles infrastructure, Docker, and automatic updates.
+
+<Steps>
+  <Step title="Purchase and launch">
+    1. From the [Hostinger OpenClaw page](https://www.hostinger.com/openclaw), choose a Managed OpenClaw plan and complete checkout.
+
+    <Note>
+    During checkout you can select **Ready-to-Use AI** credits that are pre-purchased and integrated instantly inside OpenClaw -- no external accounts or API keys from other providers needed. You can start chatting right away. Alternatively, provide your own key from Anthropic, OpenAI, Google Gemini, or xAI during setup.
+    </Note>
+
+  </Step>
+
+  <Step title="Select a messaging channel">
+    Choose one or more channels to connect:
+
+    - **WhatsApp** -- scan the QR code shown in the setup wizard.
+    - **Telegram** -- paste the bot token from [BotFather](https://t.me/BotFather).
+
+  </Step>
+
+  <Step title="Complete installation">
+    Click **Finish** to deploy the instance. Once ready, access the OpenClaw dashboard from **OpenClaw Overview** in hPanel.
+  </Step>
+
+</Steps>
+
+## Option B: OpenClaw on VPS
+
+More control over your server. Hostinger deploys OpenClaw via Docker on your VPS and you manage it through the **Docker Manager** in hPanel.
+
+<Steps>
+  <Step title="Purchase a VPS">
+    1. From the [Hostinger OpenClaw page](https://www.hostinger.com/openclaw), choose an OpenClaw on VPS plan and complete checkout.
+
+    <Note>
+    You can select **Ready-to-Use AI** credits during checkout -- these are pre-purchased and integrated instantly inside OpenClaw, so you can start chatting without any external accounts or API keys from other providers.
+    </Note>
+
+  </Step>
+
+  <Step title="Configure OpenClaw">
+    Once the VPS is provisioned, fill in the configuration fields:
+
+    - **Gateway token** -- auto-generated; save it for later use.
+    - **WhatsApp number** -- your number with country code (optional).
+    - **Telegram bot token** -- from [BotFather](https://t.me/BotFather) (optional).
+    - **API keys** -- only needed if you did not select Ready-to-Use AI credits during checkout.
+
+  </Step>
+
+  <Step title="Start OpenClaw">
+    Click **Deploy**. Once running, open the OpenClaw dashboard from the hPanel by clicking on **Open**.
+  </Step>
+
+</Steps>
+
+Logs, restarts, and updates are managed directly from the Docker Manager interface in hPanel. To update, press on **Update** in Docker Manager and that will pull the latest image.
+
+## Verify your setup
+
+Send "Hi" to your assistant on the channel you connected. OpenClaw will reply and walk you through initial preferences.
+
+## Troubleshooting
+
+**Dashboard not loading** -- Wait a few minutes for the container to finish provisioning. Check the Docker Manager logs in hPanel.
+
+**Docker container keeps restarting** -- Open Docker Manager logs and look for configuration errors (missing tokens, invalid API keys).
+
+**Telegram bot not responding** -- Send your pairing code message from Telegram directly as a message inside your OpenClaw chat to complete the connection.

 For native plugins, the runtime module is the data-plane part. It registers
 actual behavior such as hooks, tools, commands, or provider flows.
 
+Optional manifest `activation` and `setup` blocks stay on the control plane.
+They are metadata-only descriptors for activation planning and setup discovery;

+The first live activation consumers now use manifest command, channel, and provider hints
+to narrow plugin loading before broader registry materialization:

+- CLI loading narrows to plugins that own the requested primary command
+- channel setup/plugin resolution narrows to plugins that own the requested
+  channel id
+- explicit provider setup/runtime resolution narrows to plugins that own the

+Setup discovery now prefers descriptor-owned ids such as `setup.providers` and

+Top-level `cliBackends` stays valid and continues to describe CLI inference
+backends. `setup.cliBackends` is the setup-specific descriptor surface for
+control-plane/setup flows that should stay metadata-only.
+
+When present, `setup.providers` and `setup.cliBackends` are the preferred
+descriptor-first lookup surface for setup discovery. If the descriptor only
+narrows the candidate plugin and setup still needs richer setup-time runtime
+hooks, set `requiresRuntime: true` and keep `setup-api` in place as the
+fallback execution path.
+
+Because setup lookup can execute plugin-owned `setup-api` code, normalized
+`setup.providers[].id` and `setup.cliBackends[]` values must stay unique across
+discovered plugins. Ambiguous ownership fails closed instead of picking a
+winner from discovery order.

+Use this when you want QMD for recall and `memory-wiki` for a maintained
+knowledge layer:
+
+```json5
+{
+  memory: {
+    backend: "qmd",
+      "memory-wiki": {
+        enabled: true,
+        config: {
+          vaultMode: "bridge",
+          bridge: {
+            enabled: true,
+            readMemoryArtifacts: true,
+            indexDreamReports: true,
+            indexDailyNotes: true,
+            indexMemoryRoot: true,
+            followMemoryEvents: true,
+          },
+          search: {
+            backend: "shared",
+            corpus: "all",
+          },
+          context: {
+            includeCompiledDigestPrompt: false,
+          },
+        },
+      },
+    },
+  },
+}
+```
+
+This keeps:
+
+- QMD in charge of active memory recall
+- `memory-wiki` focused on compiled pages and dashboards
+- prompt shape unchanged until you intentionally enable compiled digest prompts

 the app-server initialize handshake and blocks older or unversioned servers so
 OpenClaw only runs against the protocol surface it has been tested with.
 
+### Native Codex harness mode
+
+The bundled `codex` harness is the native Codex mode for embedded OpenClaw
+agent turns. Enable the bundled `codex` plugin first, and include `codex` in
+`plugins.allow` if your config uses a restrictive allowlist. It is different
+from `openai-codex/*`:
+
+- `openai-codex/*` uses ChatGPT/Codex OAuth through the normal OpenClaw provider
+  path.
+- `codex/*` uses the bundled Codex provider and routes the turn through Codex
+  app-server.
+
+When this mode runs, Codex owns the native thread id, resume behavior,
+compaction, and app-server execution. OpenClaw still owns the chat channel,
+visible transcript mirror, tool policy, approvals, media delivery, and session
+selection. Use `embeddedHarness.runtime: "codex"` with
+`embeddedHarness.fallback: "none"` when you need to prove that the Codex
+app-server path is used and PI fallback is not hiding a broken native harness.
