-- Keep going until structured review returns no accepted/actionable findings.
-- If a review-triggered fix changes code, rerun focused tests and rerun the structured review helper.
-- For security-audit suppression changes, verify accepted findings remain auditable: suppressed findings stay in structured output, active output keeps an unsuppressible suppression notice, and aggregate findings cannot hide unrelated active risk.
-- Never switch or override the requested review engine/model. If the review hits model capacity, retry the same command a few times with the same engine/model.
-- Tools are useful in review mode. The helper allows read-only inspection tools and web search by default so reviewers can check dependency contracts, upstream docs, and current behavior.
-- Security perspective is always included, but it should not cripple legitimate functionality. Report security findings only when the change creates a concrete, actionable risk or removes an important safety check.
-- Do not invoke built-in `codex review`, nested reviewers, or reviewer panels from inside the review. The helper builds one bundle, calls one selected engine, validates one structured result, and stops.

-- Multi-reviewer panels are opt-in only. Use them when explicitly requested or when risk justifies the extra spend; the main agent still verifies every accepted finding before fixing.
 - If rejecting a finding as intentional/not worth fixing, add a brief inline code comment only when it explains a real invariant or ownership decision that future reviewers should know.
-- If `gh`/Gitcrawl reports `database disk image is malformed`, run `gitcrawl doctor --json` once to let the portable cache repair before retrying review; do not bypass the shim unless repair fails and freshness requires live GitHub.
-- If Gitcrawl reports a portable manifest mismatch, source/runtime DB health error, or stale portable-store checkout, run `gitcrawl doctor --json` and inspect `source_db_health`, `runtime_db_health`, and `portable_store_status` before falling back to live GitHub.

-## Review Panels

-Engines without a real thinking knob reject `--thinking`.

 ## Context Efficiency
 
-Run the helper directly so target selection, engine choice, structured validation, and exit status all stay in one path. If output is noisy, summarize the completed helper output after it returns; do not ask another agent or reviewer to rerun the review.
+Codex review is usually noisy. Default to a subagent filter when subagents are available. Ask it to run the review and return only:
+- actionable findings it accepts
+- findings it rejects, with one-line reason
+- exact files/tests to rerun
+
+Run inline only for tiny changes or when subagents are unavailable.

----
-
-# Control UI E2E
-
-Use this for Control UI changes that need a real browser flow with deterministic Gateway data.
-
-## Test Shape
-
-- Use `ui/src/**/*.e2e.test.ts` for full GUI flows.
-- Use `ui/src/test-helpers/control-ui-e2e.ts` to start the Vite Control UI and install a mocked Gateway WebSocket.
-- Keep scenarios deterministic. Do not use live provider keys, real channel credentials, or a real Gateway unless the user explicitly asks for live proof.
-- Prefer existing `.browser.test.ts` or unit tests for narrow rendering logic; use this E2E lane when the proof should cover routing, app boot, Gateway handshake, requests, and visible UI behavior together.
-
-## Commands
-
-- Target one E2E test in a Codex worktree:
-
-```bash
-node scripts/run-vitest.mjs run --config test/vitest/vitest.ui-e2e.config.ts --configLoader runner ui/src/ui/e2e/chat-flow.e2e.test.ts
-```
-
-- Run the whole local lane in a normal checkout:
-
-```bash
-pnpm test:ui:e2e
-```
-
-If dependencies are missing in a Codex worktree, install once with `pnpm install`; for broad GUI proof or dependency-heavy checks, use Testbox/Crabbox instead of running a wide local pnpm lane.
-
-## Visual Proof Default
-
-When running mocked Control UI/dashboard validation for a user-facing feature, produce visual proof by default unless the user explicitly opts out.
-
-- Keep the Vitest E2E assertions deterministic; do not commit generated screenshots or videos.
-- After or alongside the focused E2E test, run the mocked Control UI app when available, for example `pnpm dev:ui:mock -- --port <port>`.
-- Drive Chromium with Playwright against the local mock URL and capture a video plus screenshots for each meaningful state: initial view, interaction input, result state, and final/paginated/selected state.
-- Use `browser.newContext({ recordVideo: { dir, size }, viewport })`, `page.screenshot({ path })`, and close the context before reporting the video path.
-- Put artifacts under `.artifacts/control-ui-e2e/<short-feature-name>/` or another clearly named local temp directory, and report the absolute paths in the final answer.
-- Treat recording as validation, not only demo capture. If the recorder fails or shows surprising behavior, stop, fix the behavior, add or update a regression test, then rerecord.
-- If visual proof is blocked, state the exact blocker and still report the textual E2E evidence.
-
-## Mock Pattern
-
-Start the app server, install the mock before `page.goto`, then assert both Gateway traffic and visible UI:
-
-```ts
-const server = await startControlUiE2eServer();
-const page = await context.newPage();
-const gateway = await installMockGateway(page, {
-  historyMessages: [{ role: "assistant", content: [{ type: "text", text: "Ready." }] }],
-});
-
-await page.goto(`${server.baseUrl}chat`);
-await page.locator(".agent-chat__composer-combobox textarea").fill("hello");
-await page.getByRole("button", { name: "Send message" }).click();
-
-const request = await gateway.waitForRequest("chat.send");
-await gateway.emitChatFinal({ runId: String(request.params.idempotencyKey), text: "Done." });
-await page.getByText("Done.").waitFor();
-```
-
-Extend `installMockGateway` with typed scenario options or method responses when a new flow needs more Gateway surface.
-
-## Standalone Recording
-
-When recording an already-running mocked Control UI URL, use a temporary Playwright script or `playwright test` spec and keep the recording flow focused:
-
-- Open the mock URL, interact through stable `data-*` selectors or user-facing role selectors, and wait on asserted states instead of relying on fixed sleeps.
-- Assert both visible UI state and mocked Gateway traffic for request-driven flows. For example, verify the expected count/row is visible and that `sessions.list` was called with the expected `search`, `offset`, and `limit`.
-- Use short sleeps only after assertions to make the captured video readable.
-- Store the generated video under `.artifacts/control-ui-e2e/<feature>/`; do not commit it.

-
-# OpenClaw Docker E2E Authoring
-
-Use this when adding or changing Docker E2E lanes, release-path Docker tests,
-or live-provider Docker proof.
-
-## Lane Choice
-
-- Deterministic Docker: fake the dependency/server and assert the exact runtime
-  contract crossing the boundary.
-- Live Docker: use real provider credentials/model only when user-visible
-  behavior needs the real service.
-- Prefer both when they prove different risks: deterministic for byte/payload
-  routing, live for actual provider behavior.
-
-## Authoring Rules
-
-- Test-only helpers live in `test/helpers` or `scripts/e2e/lib/<lane>/`, not
-  `src/**`, unless production imports them.
-- Package-installed app runs from `/app`; mount only explicit harness/helper
-  paths read-only.
-- Fake servers should log boundary requests as JSONL and clients should assert
-  the real dependency payload, not just process success.
-- Add the package script and `scripts/lib/docker-e2e-scenarios.mjs` lane in the
-  same change.
-- If a lane installs a plugin from npm, default the spec via env so published
-  and local override paths are both testable.
-
-## Media And Vision
-
-- Expected answer must exist only in pixels or provider output being tested.
-- Use neutral filenames, neutral prompts, and no metadata leaks.
-- Random bitmap/OCR tokens reuse the repo OCR-safe alphabet `24567ACEF` unless
-  the test owns a stronger glyph set.
-- Make the expected answer unique per run when proving real image
-  understanding.
-
-## `chat.send` E2E
-
-- Require `chat.send` to return `status: "started"` and a string `runId`.
-- Wait for completion with `agent.wait`.
-- Assert final user-visible text via `chat.history` when event ordering is not
-  the behavior under test.
-- Keep originating channel/account metadata only when the bug path needs queued
-  inbound/channel context.
-
-## Verification
-
-Run the smallest proof that covers the touched lane:
-
-```bash
-pnpm exec oxfmt --write <changed files>
-node --check <new .mjs files>
-bash -n <new .sh files>
-node scripts/run-vitest.mjs test/scripts/docker-e2e-plan.test.ts
-OPENCLAW_SKIP_DOCKER_BUILD=1 pnpm test:docker:<lane>
-```
-
-For real-provider lanes, run the matching live Docker script after deterministic
-Docker is green. Finish with `$autoreview` before commit/PR.

-Use for broad issue/PR sweeps where the bar is high and the output is PRs, not notes.
-Do not use for plugin SDK/API boundary work; those need separate architecture review.
-
-## Target
-
-Return exactly five PR URLs, each with:
-
-- bug summary
-- why the fix is low-risk
-- proof: rebased-head local/Testbox/live commands or run IDs
-- autoreview: clean result on the exact head being shown
-- CI green on the exact pushed PR head
-- issue/duplicate cleanup done or still pending
-
-The five URLs may be existing PRs that were reviewed/fixed, or new PRs created from issues/clusters.
-Do not present a PR URL to the maintainer until it has been refreshed on current `main`, left-tested, autoreviewed clean, pushed, and verified green in live GitHub CI.
-If code, tests, changelog, PR body, or branch base changes after autoreview, rerun autoreview before showing the URL.
-
-## Companion Skills
-
-Use `$gitcrawl` for discovery/clustering, `$openclaw-pr-maintainer` for live GitHub mutation rules, `$github-author-context` when contributor trust matters, `$openclaw-testing` for proof choice, `$autoreview` before publishing/landing, and `$crabbox` for broad/E2E/live proof.
-
-## Candidate Bar
-
-Accept only when all are true:
-
-- bug or paper cut, not feature/product/support/docs-only
-- root cause is proven in current code
-- dependency behavior checked via upstream docs/source/types when relevant
-- production/runtime diff is small, ideally much smaller than 500 LOC and always below 500 LOC
-- tests may be larger, but focused
-- no new dependency
-- no new config option
-- no backward-incompatible behavior
-- no security/product/owner-boundary decision needed
-- no plugin SDK, public plugin API, or `src/plugin-sdk/**` boundary change
-- no broad refactor smell
-- focused proof is feasible
-- branch can be rebased/refreshed and pushed, or a replacement PR can be created
-
-Good examples:
-
-- provider parameter mismatch proven against dependency/API contract
-- CLI command diverges from adjacent command behavior
-- narrow runtime state/serialization bug with failing test
-- issue already fixed on current `main`, with proof and closeable duplicates
-
-Reject:
-
-- feature requests, new knobs, migrations, release work, workflow policy, support
-- plugin SDK/API boundary changes, including compatibility shims, new SDK methods, SDK exports, or plugin-facing channel/provider seams
-- auth/security boundary changes unless explicitly assigned
-- bugs needing live credentials that are unavailable
-- PRs with red CI unless you fix, rebase, push, and recheck them green
-- PRs you only reviewed locally but did not refresh/push/check live
-- PRs whose final head has not passed `$autoreview`
-- fixes whose clean shape is a larger architecture move
-- speculative reports without reproducible/provable cause
-- UI/UX changes requiring product judgment
-
-## Sweep Loop
-
-1. Start clean:
-   - `git status -sb`
-   - `git pull --ff-only`
-   - verify branch is expected, usually `main`
-2. Build candidate clusters:
-   - `gitcrawl` open issues/PRs, neighbors, and search
-   - live `gh issue/pr view`
-   - include PRs linked from issues and duplicates
-3. For each cluster:
-   - read issue/PR body, comments, labels, linked refs, current source, adjacent tests
-   - suppress maintainer-owned queue noise unless it is the best fix path
-   - identify opener/author and preserve credit
-   - decide: `repair-existing-pr`, `create-new-pr`, `close-fixed-on-main`, `close-duplicate`, or `reject`
-4. Prove before patching:
-   - failing test, focused repro, log/source proof, or dependency contract proof
-   - if already fixed on `main`, prove with current source/test/commit and close kindly
-5. Patch:
-   - prefer existing PR when good and writable
-   - if unwritable or wrong shape, create own PR and preserve useful contributor credit
-   - if no PR exists, create one
-   - add regression test when it fits
-   - changelog for user-facing fixes; thank credited human reporter/contributor
-6. Review, refresh, and publish:
-   - rebase or otherwise refresh the PR branch on current `origin/main`
-   - resolve drift, including newly exposed CI failures, rather than counting the PR as ready
-   - changelog-only conflicts are routine on busy `main`; resolve them mechanically when already refreshing, but do not treat them as a real code conflict, a reason to reject the PR, or evidence that the branch needs extra fixup beyond the changelog entry order
-   - left-test the rebased head with the smallest meaningful local/Testbox/live command that proves the bug
-   - run `$autoreview` until no accepted/actionable findings remain before creating, updating, or presenting the PR URL
-   - create/update PR with real body and proof fields
-   - push the exact reviewed head
-   - verify live GitHub CI is green for that pushed head; do not count pending, red, dirty, conflicting, or externally blocked PRs in the five
-7. Hygiene:
-   - close duplicates and fixed-on-main issues/PRs with proof as soon as you notice them during the sweep
-   - never mutate more than five associated items in one cluster without explicit confirmation
-   - comments must be kind, concrete, and include proof/PR/commit links
-8. Repeat until five landable PR URLs are ready.
-
-## PR Body Proof
-
-Use the repo PR template. Include these exact labels:
-
-```text
-Behavior addressed:
-Real environment tested:
-Exact steps or command run after this patch:
-Evidence after fix:
-Observed result after fix:
-What was not tested:
-```
-
-## Existing PR Rules
-
-- Review code path beyond the diff before trusting it.
-- If PR is good: rebase/refresh on current `main`, fix small issues, left-test, autoreview clean, push, and get CI green before showing or counting it.
-- If PR is not good but has a useful idea: recreate locally, co-author when warranted, close original with thanks and explanation.
-- If PR is duplicate or fixed on `main`: comment proof, close.
-- If maintainer cannot push to contributor branch: create own branch/PR, preserve useful commits or credit.
-- If CI turns red after local proof, treat that as normal work: inspect the failing job, fix or reject, rerun, and only count the PR once green.

-# OpenClaw Mac Release
-
-Use with `$openclaw-release-maintainer`, `$openclaw-release-ci`, and `$one-password` when stable macOS assets, private mac preflight, notarization, appcast promotion, or mac release recovery is involved.
-
-## Credentials
-
-- Canonical ASC item: vault `Molty`, title `API Key - App Store Connect - Personal - Release`.
-- Fields: `private_key_p8`, `key_id`, `issuer_id`.
-- Current known good key id: `AKVLXW849T`.
-- Legacy mirror: vault `Private`, title `API Key - App Store Connect - Personal`; keep it synced for older refs.
-- Stale/revoked key symptom: `xcrun notarytool submit` fails with `HTTP status code: 401. Unauthenticated`.
-- Validate candidate ASC credentials with `xcrun notarytool history` before setting GitHub secrets.
-
-## 1Password
-
-- Use `$one-password`: all `op` work inside one persistent tmux session, no secret output.
-- Prefer `OP_SERVICE_ACCOUNT_TOKEN` from `~/.profile` for Molty reads.
-- Do not assume `MOLTY_OP_SERVICE_ACCOUNT_TOKEN` is alive; it has previously pointed at a deleted service account.
-- If a service token fails, run status-only checks: token present/length and `op whoami`; never print token values.
-- If desktop app auth is needed but Touch ID is unavailable, set `OP_BIOMETRIC_UNLOCK_ENABLED=false` for the manual `op account add --signin` path.
-
-## GitHub Secrets
-
-Target private repo environment: `openclaw/releases-private`, env `mac-release`.
-
-Set only after local notary auth validation:
-
-- `APP_STORE_CONNECT_API_KEY_P8`
-- `APP_STORE_CONNECT_KEY_ID`
-- `APP_STORE_CONNECT_ISSUER_ID`
-
-Do not update these from mixed sources. All three ASC fields must come from the same 1Password item.
-
-## Workflow Shape
-
-- Public release branch may carry mac-only packaging fixes after the stable tag/npm are already live.
-- Use `source_ref=release/YYYY.M.D` for private mac preflight/validation when building that branch variation.
-- Keep `tag=vYYYY.M.D` pointing at the original stable release commit.
-- Real mac publish must reuse:
-  - a successful private mac preflight run for the same tag/source SHA
-  - a successful private mac validation run for the same tag/source SHA
-- If preflight source SHA differs from tag SHA, validation must also use the same `source_ref`; promotion rejects mismatched proof.
-
-## Notarization
-
-- OpenClaw uses `scripts/notarize-mac-artifact.sh`.
-- `xcrun notarytool submit` should use `--no-s3-acceleration`; accelerated upload can surface misleading 401s even when `notarytool history` succeeds.
-- If signing succeeds but notarization fails immediately with 401, check ASC key freshness first.
-- If notarization stays in progress for several minutes after key-file write, that is normal Apple wait time; do not edit blindly.

 - 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.
 - Use the configured secret workflow to inject only the provider keys needed by OpenAI/Anthropic lanes. Do not print secrets 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.

 - On macOS same-guest update checks, restart the gateway after the npm upgrade before `gateway status` / `agent`; launchd can otherwise report a loaded service while the old process has exited and the fresh process is not RPC-ready yet.
 - The npm-update aggregate's macOS update leg writes the guest update script as root, then runs it as the desktop user. If `prlctl exec "$MACOS_VM" --current-user ...` cannot authenticate, retry through plain root `prlctl exec` plus `sudo -u <desktop-user> /usr/bin/env HOME=/Users/<desktop-user> USER=<desktop-user> LOGNAME=<desktop-user> PATH=/opt/homebrew/bin:/opt/homebrew/opt/node/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/sbin ...`.

 - If that release-to-dev lane fails with `reason=preflight-no-good-commit` and repeated `sh: pnpm: command not found` tails from `preflight build`, treat it as an updater regression first. The fix belongs in the git/dev updater bootstrap path, not in Parallels retry logic.
 - Until the public stable train includes that updater bootstrap fix, the macOS release-to-dev lane may seed a temporary guest-local `pnpm` shim immediately before `openclaw update --channel dev`. Keep that workaround scoped to the smoke harness and remove it once the latest stable no longer needs it.
 - In Tahoe `prlctl exec --current-user` runs, prefer explicit `node .../openclaw.mjs ...` invocations for the release->dev handoff itself and for post-update verification.

-- If unassigned, assign the requester before deep review. This is allowed for specific requested targets; do not auto-assign broad discovery candidates or shortlists.
-- If assigned to someone else, say so clearly before analysis and include assignment age:
-  - fresh: assigned within 6h; treat as actively owned unless user explicitly asks to continue or reassign
-  - stale: assigned 6h+ ago; treat as ownership hint, not a hard block; continue only with that caveat
-- If assigned to requester plus others, mention co-assignees and continue.
-- If assignment event time is unavailable, say `assigned, time unknown`; treat as assigned, not stale.
-- Never remove or replace assignees unless explicitly asked.

-Describe the intent and outcome in 2-5 bullets. Avoid restating the diff; reviewers and bots can read the changed files.
+Describe the problem and fix in 2–5 bullets:
 
 If this PR fixes a plugin beta-release blocker, title it `fix(<plugin-id>): beta blocker - <summary>` and link the matching `Beta blocker: <plugin-name> - <summary>` issue labeled `beta-blocker`. Contributors cannot label PRs, so the title is the PR-side signal for maintainers and automation.

 ## Real behavior proof (required for external PRs)
 
+External contributors must show after-fix evidence from a real OpenClaw setup. Unit tests, mocks, lint, typechecks, snapshots, and CI are supplemental only. Screenshots are encouraged even for CLI, console, text, or log changes; terminal screenshots and copied live output count. Be mindful of private information like IP addresses, API keys, phone numbers, non-public endpoints, or other private details when providing evidence.

-## ClawSweeper Review Policy
-
-- OpenClaw-specific review rules live here; generic ClawSweeper prompts stay repo-agnostic.
-- ClawSweeper-owned schema, labels, close reasons, protected-label gates, maintainer-item gates, and mutation rules live in `openclaw/clawsweeper`.
-- Review workers read this full root `AGENTS.md` before judging; no reliance on search snippets, `head`, partial ranges, local excerpts, or truncated copies. Then read every scoped `AGENTS.md` that owns touched paths.
-- Optional integrations, providers, channels, skill bundles, MCP surfaces, and service workflows route to plugins, ClawHub, or owner repos when current seams suffice. Keep core items for missing core/plugin APIs, bundled regressions, security/core hardening, or maintainer product decisions.
-- Plugin APIs, provider routing, auth/session state, persisted preferences, config loading, migrations, setup, startup checks, and fallback behavior are compatibility/upgrade-sensitive. Treat config breaks, removed fallbacks, fail-closed changes, or new operator action as merge risk even with green CI.
-- Review whole decision surfaces, not only the touched runtime, provider, channel, harness, plugin seam, or context path. Check sibling Codex/Pi-style runtimes, provider/model routing, channel delivery, gateway/protocol, plugin SDK, and context-management paths when relevant.
-- One-sided fixes need sibling-surface proof, an explanation for why siblings are unaffected, or explicit follow-up work.
-- User-facing `fix`, `feat`, and `perf` changes need `CHANGELOG.md` before landing; contributor PR authors are not blocked solely on maintainer-owned changelog work. Never request thanks for bot/forbidden handles: `@openclaw`, `@clawsweeper`, `@codex`, `@steipete`.
-- Public ClawSweeper comments prefer `https://docs.openclaw.ai/...` when a public docs page exists; structured evidence still cites repo files, lines, SHAs.
-- Findings need current source, shipped/current behavior, tests/CI evidence, and dependency contract proof when dependency-backed behavior is involved. Validation is judged against touched and sibling surfaces plus this file's commands; real behavior proof matters for user-visible changes, with Telegram/Desktop proof for Telegram-visible behavior when feasible.
-- Prefer findings for concrete behavior regressions, missing changed-surface proof, owner-boundary violations, security/API contract issues, or docs/config mismatches.
-- Do not file findings for repo policy preference when changed code follows the relevant scoped guide and no user-visible, runtime, security, or maintainer-risk impact is shown.

 ## Architecture
 
 - Core stays plugin-agnostic. No bundled ids/defaults/policy in core when manifest/registry/capability contracts work.
@@ -56,17 +35,12 @@ Skills own workflows; root owns hard policy and routing.
 - External official plugins own package/deps and are excluded from core dist; core uses registry-aware `facade-runtime` or generic contracts.
 - Externalizing a bundled plugin: update package excludes, official catalogs, docs, tests, and prove core runtime paths resolve installed plugin roots before root-dep removal.
 - Legacy config repair belongs in `openclaw doctor --fix`, not startup/load-time core migrations. Runtime paths use canonical contracts.
-- Fix shape: default to clean bounded refactor, not smallest patch. Move ownership to right boundary; delete stale abstractions, duplicate policy, dead branches, wrappers, fallback stacks.
-- Lean code is a goal. No internal shims, aliases, legacy names, broad fallbacks, or defensive branches just to reduce diff or handle unrealistic edge cases.
-- Handle real production states, shipped upgrade paths, security boundaries, and dependency contracts. Public/hostile/observed malformed input gets care; hypothetical malformed input does not.
-- Public plugin SDK/API is the compat exception. New API first, old path only via named compat/deprecation metadata, docs, warnings when useful, tests for old+new, planned removal.
-- Migrate internal/bundled callers to modern API in the same change. Do not let internal compat become permanent architecture.
+- Fix shape: prefer bounded owner-boundary refactors over local patches/shims when they remove stale abstractions, duplicate policy, or wrong ownership.
+- Compat default: no new internal shims, aliases, fallback APIs, or legacy names just to reduce diff. Migrate callers and delete old paths.

-- Scripts: remove stale Knip unused-file allowlist entries so the dead-code gate fails only on current findings.
-- Tests: normalize bundled plugin lifecycle probe paths and state-root lookup so native Windows release sweeps accept valid packaged plugin installs.
-- Config: keep benign legacy metadata write anomalies out of default doctor and config command output while preserving explicit anomaly logging for diagnostics.
-- Agents/Codex: route budget preflight compaction through the persisted Codex session model so Slack threads do not require separate plain OpenAI auth. Thanks @amknight.
-- Codex: log when implicit app-server `never` approvals are promoted for OpenClaw tool policy, including whether the trigger was a `before_tool_call` hook or trusted tool policy.
-- Google Vertex: support production ADC modes such as Workload Identity Federation, service-account credentials, and metadata-server ADC for the native Vertex transport. (#83971) Thanks @damianFelixPago.
-- Telegram: route normal `[telegram][diag]` polling diagnostics through `runtime.log` while keeping non-diag warnings and persistence failures on `runtime.error`, so healthy polling startup no longer looks like an error. Fixes #82957. (#82958) Thanks @galiniliev.

-
-- Installer: let the local-prefix CLI installer use Alpine's `apk` Node.js, npm, and Git packages on musl Linux instead of downloading glibc Node tarballs that fail `node:sqlite`.
-- Scripts: use `git grep` to prefilter tracked conflict-marker scans so changed checks avoid reading every repository file on clean runs.
-- Plugins: allow linked local plugin paths to probe TypeScript source entries without requiring compiled package output, restoring source-checkout plugin development on native Windows.
-- CLI: route source-checkout build output to stderr before launching OpenClaw commands so stale local builds do not corrupt `--json` stdout.
-- Installer: install Node.js through `apk` on Alpine Linux instead of falling through to the NodeSource package-manager path.
-- Agents/perf: cache manifest-backed CLI provider descriptors and fallback provider resolution so model fallback retries avoid repeated bundled provider runtime scans while still invalidating across plugin reloads.
-- Installer: detect musl Linux shells such as Alpine as Linux instead of rejecting them before npm install.
-- Scripts: run direct Node package scripts with env overrides through a cross-platform launcher so gateway, TUI, and Docker-all entrypoints work on native Windows.
-- Tests: run Vitest import timing entrypoints through a Node wrapper so native Windows package scripts can collect import diagnostics.
-- Control UI: split large build-time runtime dependencies into stable chunks so Linux/Docker install and package builds stay below the app chunk warning threshold.
-- Tests: run `test:max` and `test:changed:max` through a Node wrapper so high-worker Vitest entrypoints work on native Windows.
-- Tests: retry transient loopback HTTP resets in the kitchen-sink RPC walk so native Windows readiness probes do not fail after the gateway is already ready.
-- Tests: run `test:serial` through a Node wrapper so targeted serial Vitest commands work on native Windows.
-- Tests: normalize Vitest config path assertions so the infra config suite runs on native Windows paths.
-- Scripts: run the optional Discord native opus installer through the shared pnpm launcher and Windows CI coverage so native Windows installs avoid shell-mode package-manager shims.
-- Installer: avoid the incompatible generated `--before` install filter when raw npm `min-release-age` config is present. (#85491) Thanks @TurboTheTurtle.
-- Agents/MCP: bound bundled MCP `tools/list` catalog discovery so hung MCP servers do not block session tool materialization. (#85063) Thanks @nxmxbbd.
-- Scripts: run generated-module formatting through the shared pnpm launcher and Windows CI coverage so native Windows generator checks avoid shell-mode package-manager shims.
-- Channels/iMessage: recover malformed anchorless group watch payloads by GUID before debounce/routing, and drop unrecoverable payloads instead of replying to the sender DM. Fixes #84470. Refs #84503. Thanks @zhangguiping-xydt and @zqchris.
-- Channels/iMessage: advance the startup catchup cursor from live-handled rows after a completed catchup pass, including rows received while catchup is still running, so restarts do not replay them. (#85475) Thanks @TurboTheTurtle.
-- Tests: mount the shared Windows command helper into bare Docker E2E harness containers so published upgrade-survivor config walks can start on Linux.
-- Tests: keep the plugin binding command escape Docker smoke focused on its intended Vitest cases and skip source-only install lifecycle scripts.
-- Tests: let the generic plugin install E2E assertions use a configurable temp root and Windows home-relative install paths.
-- Tests: keep kitchen-sink plugin assertion fixtures on a configurable temp root so native Windows runs no longer skip full-surface diagnostic coverage.
-- Tests: fail Gateway startup benchmarks when a child startup never produces ready probes or process metrics instead of reporting all `n/a` samples as passing.
-- Config/secrets: allow exec SecretRef ids to include `#` selectors so AWS-style `secret#json_key` ids validate consistently. (#80731) Thanks @TurboTheTurtle.
-- Tests: keep the Telegram user credential helper on platform temp and path APIs so native Windows credential export and restore commands do not write through POSIX-only paths.
-- Installer: include the optional verify phase in the progress counter so `--verify` shows `[4/4] Verifying installation` instead of `[4/3]`.
-- Crabbox: let the wrapper find a sibling Crabbox checkout from linked Git worktrees so Codex worktrees can run remote gates without a PATH shim.
-- Scripts: tolerate the standard `--` option separator in shared script flag parsing so perf/test helpers accept package-manager argument forwarding.
-- Tests: preserve `--` passthrough arguments in live-media, live-shard, and extension batch harnesses so Vitest filters are not misread or silently ignored.
-- Crabbox: default AWS macOS runner requests to on-demand capacity so EC2 Mac proof commands do not fail on the unsupported Spot market default.
-- Tests: run upgrade-survivor config recipe commands through the Windows npm shim so native Windows package walks keep baseline config coverage.
-- Image tool: use bundled Anthropic media limits when resolving image compression policy without provider-runtime hooks.
-- Tests: fail the kitchen-sink RPC Docker walk when gateway RSS sampling is unavailable instead of silently disabling the per-process memory guard.
-- Tests: suppress the current Rolldown plugin timing warning format in the Vitest wrapper so tiny focused runs do not drown useful stderr in repeated build-timing noise.
-- Models/OpenRouter: use endpoint-specific OpenRouter context limits from `top_provider` metadata so provider-routed models no longer overstate available context. (#85949) Thanks @TurboTheTurtle.
-- Crabbox: sync clean sparse-checkout remote changed gates from a temporary full checkout with local-only commits overlaid as worktree changes so git-backed script checks can seed the runner repository.
-- Agents: avoid loading bundled channel plugins while resolving completion delivery policy and queue defaults on subagent handoff paths.
-- Tests: allow split Vitest config shards through the explicit-target preflight so CI shard jobs run their intended projects.
-- Tests: make startup memory and startup bench smoke scripts build CLI startup artifacts when run from a fresh source checkout.
-- iMessage: mark authorized slash-command turns as text-sourced commands so `/status`, `/new`, and `/restart` acknowledgements return to the source conversation. (#82642) thanks @homer-byte.
-- Crabbox: install Corepack shims into the writable hydration `PNPM_HOME` so local AWS runner hydration no longer tries to overwrite `/usr/local/bin/pnpm`.
-- Live tests: fail Gateway live model sweeps when selected coverage is lost to timeouts or stale high-signal filters instead of reporting false missing-profile coverage, and pin Docker OpenAI gateway coverage to the current `gpt-5.5` lane.
-- Tests: fail Docker resource-ceiling checks when stats samples or configured limits are invalid instead of silently reporting zero peaks.
-- Agents: fail closed when provider-less session models match multiple provider-prefixed runtime policies so CLI runtime routing no longer depends on config order. (#85970) Thanks @potterdigital.

-- iMessage: support thumb-approval reactions — `👍` (Like tapback) resolves an approval as `allow-once` and `👎` resolves as `deny`, with the explicit-approver allowlist read from `channels.imessage.allowFrom`; `allow-always` stays on the manual `/approve <id> allow-always` text fallback. Mirrors the WhatsApp behavior from #85477.
-- Gateway/perf: reuse process-stable channel catalog reads, avoid repeated bundled-channel boundary checks, and rotate gateway watch CPU profiles so benchmark runs do not accumulate unbounded artifacts.
-- Gateway/perf: cache stable install-record, channel-catalog, bundled-channel, and Telegram session-store metadata during process-local hot paths to reduce repeated JSON and manifest reads.
-- Gateway/perf: reuse immutable plugin metadata snapshots across startup, config, model, channel, setup, and secret metadata readers so hot paths avoid repeated plugin file stats and manifest registry reloads.
-- Talk/realtime: let WebUI and Discord voice callers ask for active OpenClaw run status, cancel, steer, or queue follow-up work while a consult is still running. (#84231) Thanks @Solvely-Colin.
-- Discord/voice: add realtime wake-name gating with agent-name defaults and raise profile bootstrap context budget for longer `USER.md`/`SOUL.md` files.
-- Gateway/perf: lazy-load startup-idle plugin work, core gateway method handlers, and the embedded ACPX runtime so Gateway health and ready signals no longer wait on unused handler trees or ACPX probes.
-- Gateway/perf: cache plugin SDK public-surface alias maps and skip irrelevant macOS Linuxbrew PATH probes so Gateway startup avoids repeated filesystem walks and slow missing-directory stats.
-- Image tool: add adaptive model-aware image compression with an `agents.defaults.imageQuality` preference for choosing token-efficient, balanced, or high-detail media handling.
-- Meeting Notes: add a source-only external meeting-notes plugin and SDK source-provider contract outside the core npm package, with auto-start capture config, manual transcript imports, read-only `openclaw meeting-notes` CLI access, and Discord voice as the first live source.
-- Meeting Notes/Discord: release channel account startup before meeting-notes auto-capture, wait for the Discord voice manager during gateway boot, and stop plugin services before channel shutdown so voice capture state remains available during startup and cleanup.
-- Docs/channels/config: add Signal `configPath`, Telegram wildcard topic defaults, local-time backup archive names, Termux home fallback, include-path validation, secret-scanner-safe placeholder guidance, Gemini CLI/Antigravity media guidance, and macOS VM auto-login guidance. Thanks @NorseGaud, @yudistiraashadi, @huangqian8, @VibhorGautam, @maweibin, @tianxingleo, @IgnacioPro, and @xzcxzcyy-claw.
-- Docs: clarify model-usage portability, Codex migration prerequisites, status bootstrap wording, thread-bound subagent limits, hook ownership, and config-preserving safety guidance. Thanks @aniruddhaadak80, @leno23, @TomDjerry, @matthewxmurphy, @vincentkoc, and @stablegenius49.
-- Docs: clarify README onboarding and Gateway startup paths, WhatsApp QR/408 recovery, cron output language prompts, skill advanced features, gateway upstream 403 troubleshooting, and plugin fallback override guidance. Thanks @deepujain, @Zacxxx, @Jah-yee, @neyric, @usimic, @Renu-Cybe, @BigUncle, and @SeashoreShi.
-- Docs: clarify context-pruning ratio bounds, local dashboard recovery, CLI env markers, remote onboarding token behavior, and Peekaboo Bridge permissions for subprocess agents. Thanks @ayesha-aziz123, @dishraters, @hougangdev, and @brandonlipman.
-- Docs: clarify browser CDP diagnostics, Plugin SDK allowlist imports, status-reaction timing defaults, queue steering behavior, limited-tool troubleshooting, cron HEARTBEAT handling, Telegram multi-agent groups, Bitwarden SecretRef setup, and EasyRunner deployments. Thanks @Quratulain-bilal, @mbelinky, @Mickey-, @vancece, @xenouzik, @posigit, @surlymochan, @janaka, and @choiking.
-- CLI/models: let `openclaw models auth login` store a single returned provider auth profile under a requested `--profile-id`, and document named Codex OAuth profile setup. (#49315) Thanks @DanielLSM.
-- Crabbox/Testbox: run clean sparse-checkout Testbox syncs from a temporary full checkout and route remote changed gates through Corepack pnpm.
-- Docs: clarify IPv4-only Gateway BYOH binding, trusted-proxy scope clearing, Android pairing approval, macOS Accessibility grants, Zalo profile env vars, password-store SecretRef setup, and Chinese memory navigation. Thanks @itskai-dev, @gwh7078, @longstoryscott, @MoeJaberr, and @yuaiccc.
-- Docs: consolidate GLM under Z.AI, add the Upstash Box install guide and Gateway exposure runbook, clarify MEDIA directives, Copilot and Voyage setup, config path quoting, real behavior proof, and memory-file write guidance. Thanks @BobDu, @alitariksahin, @Jefsky, @musaabhasan, @OmerZeyveli, @leno23, @WuKongAI-CMU, @luoyanglang, and @majin1102.
-- Docs: clarify media provider credentials, Codex/OpenClaw code-mode boundaries, Slack and Telegram ack reactions, Feishu dynamic agents, secrets plaintext boundaries, memory guidance, and Chinese glossary terms. Thanks @nielskaspers, @cosmopolitan033, @drclaw-iq, @alexgduarte, @zccyman, @chengoak, and @cassthebandit.
-- Packaging: exclude documentation images and assets from the npm tarball, reducing published package size without affecting runtime docs search or CLI behavior. Thanks @SebTardif.
-- Media understanding: stop auto-probing Gemini CLI and use Antigravity CLI only as a lower-priority image/video fallback after configured provider APIs.
-- Diagnostics: emit sanitized `secrets.prepare` timeline spans for Gateway secret preparation so operators can distinguish secret startup latency without exposing provider names, secret ids, or secret values. (#83019) Thanks @samzong.
-- Diagnostics: export bounded skill usage metrics/spans and tool source/owner labels for core, plugin, MCP, and channel tool execution without exposing raw paths or session identifiers. (#80370) Thanks @gauravprasadgp.
-- Agents/subagents: limit default sub-agent bootstrap context to `AGENTS.md` and `TOOLS.md`, keeping persona, identity, user, memory, heartbeat, and setup files out of delegated workers by default. (#85283) Thanks @100yenadmin.
-- Maintainer skills: require clean autoreview before surfacing bug-sweep PR URLs and treat changelog-only conflicts as routine busy-main churn.
-- Maintainer skills: exclude plugin SDK/API boundary work from `openclaw-landable-bug-sweep` so bugbash sweeps stay focused on small paper-cut fixes.
-- QA-Lab/diagnostics: extend the OpenTelemetry smoke harness to prove trace, metric, and log export, and add first-class Prometheus and observability smoke aliases.
-- Plugin SDK: add a generic channel-message poll sender so channel plugins can expose poll delivery without depending on channel-specific SDK facades.
-- Plugin SDK/cron delivery: route cron delivery through the modern target resolver and outbound session-route APIs, deprecate parser-backed target helpers and `plugin-sdk/messaging-targets`, and move bundled callers to `plugin-sdk/channel-targets`.
-- Crabbox: keep the local wrapper's provider validation synced with the installed Crabbox binary while preserving supported aliases such as `docker` and `blacksmith`. (#85302) Thanks @hxy91819.
-- Maintainer skills: add `openclaw-landable-bug-sweep` for producing five small, reviewed, CI-green OpenClaw bugfix PRs from issue/PR sweeps.
-- Control UI/chat: add search and Load More pagination to the chat session picker, keeping initial session loads bounded while making older conversations reachable. (#85237) Thanks @amknight.
-- CLI/onboarding: start classic onboarding when bare `openclaw` runs before an authored config exists, while keeping configured installs on Crestodian. (#72343) Thanks @fuller-stack-dev.
-- Discord: allow configuring a bounded `agentComponents.ttlMs` callback registry lifetime for long-running component workflows, with per-account overrides and a 24-hour cap. (#84189) Thanks @100menotu001.
-- xAI/Grok: reuse xAI OAuth auth profiles for Grok `web_search`, thread active-agent auth through web search, add Grok model aliases, and let media providers declare default operation timeouts. (#85182) Thanks @fuller-stack-dev.
-- Plugin SDK: add row-level session workflow helpers and deprecate `loadSessionStore` so plugins can read and patch sessions without depending on the legacy whole-store shape. (#84693) Thanks @efpiva.
-- Gateway/plugins: reuse a compatible Gateway startup plugin registry during dispatch so safe plugin dispatches avoid redundant registry loading. (#84324) Thanks @ai-hpc.
-- Plugins/SDK: add a general `embeddingProviders` capability contract and registration API so embeddings can become a reusable provider surface outside memory-specific adapters.
-- Dependencies: refresh provider, plugin, UI, and tooling packages, update `protobufjs` to 8.4.0 to clear the current npm advisory, and carry the Claude ACP completion patch forward to `@agentclientprotocol/claude-agent-acp` 0.36.1.
-- Agents/tools: remove the old sender-owner tool gating path so configured tools stay visible for trusted sessions while command and channel-action auth still carry real sender identity.
-- QA-Lab: add curated mock JSONL replay fixtures and first-drift reporting for runtime-parity audits. (#80323, refs #80176) Thanks @100yenadmin.
-- QA-Lab: add a QA bus tool-trace visibility scenario for sanitized tool-call assertions.
-- QA-Lab: replace generic evidence framing in seeded scenario prompts with concrete observed QA behavior.
-- QA-Lab: list named scenario packs in the coverage report so personal-agent privacy coverage stays visible in audits.
-- QA-Lab: list live transport lane membership in the coverage report so real transport checks stay separate from seeded qa-channel scenarios.
-- Release/package: run package integrity checks before package acceptance lanes so public install/update validation fails before private QA assets can leak into the package.
-- QA-Lab: include the optional 100-turn runtime parity soak in release-soak artifacts so long-run Codex/Pi transcript drift stays visible outside the default gate. (#80395) Thanks @100yenadmin.
-- QA-Lab: add a live-only long-context progress watchdog scenario for Codex app-server timeout and stalled-run sentinels. (#80323) Thanks @100yenadmin.
-- QA-Lab: tag gateway restart recovery and streaming final-integrity scenarios as live-only runtime parity lanes. (#80323) Thanks @100yenadmin.
-- QA-Lab: add a personal-agent failure recovery scenario that checks honest partial status, retry boundaries, and local recovery artifacts. (#83872) Thanks @iFiras-Max1.
-- QA-Lab: include an opt-in `update.run` package self-upgrade sentinel for destructive latest-package recovery checks.
-- QA-Lab: add Codex plugin lifecycle and auth-profile fixture coverage for missing installs, pinned-version drift, first-turn install ordering, and doctor migration safety. (#80323, refs #80174) Thanks @100yenadmin.
-- Models/perf: pre-warm the provider auth-state map at gateway startup so `/models` and every model-listing call short-circuits the per-provider plugin / external-CLI discovery on the hot path. Per-call cost drops from ~20 s to ~5 ms (~4,100×); the one-time startup warm resets and re-warms after hot reloads. (#84816) Thanks @sjf.
-- Release/security: ship the root npm package and OpenClaw-owned npm plugins with generated shrinkwrap, support bundled plugin runtime dependencies for suitable plugin tarballs, and require review for lockfile/shrinkwrap changes so published installs use locked dependency graphs.
-- Tests/perf: isolate doctor core health check unit coverage from real skills/workspace discovery so `doctor-core-checks` no longer dominates unit perf while keeping one real skills-readiness smoke. (#84493) Thanks @frankekn.

-### Fixes
-
-- Gateway/update: avoid fetching unrelated tags during dev-channel git updates so moved release tags do not block branch-based updates. (#84737) Thanks @rubencu.
-- CLI/update: suppress the expected future-config warning while an old update parent hands off to the freshly installed post-core process.
-- MiniMax: store OAuth token expiry as an absolute millisecond timestamp so OAuth profiles no longer appear expired on every request. (#83480) Thanks @NianJiuZst.
-- Agents/Anthropic: strip missing or blank thinking signatures for signed-thinking providers even when recovery supplies a narrow replay policy without signature preservation. Fixes #84430. (#84448) Thanks @NianJiuZst.
-- Agents/channels: send a visible notice when an aborted main session cannot be resumed after restart, including Telegram group targets. (#85805) Thanks @pfrederiksen.
-- Discord/voice: serialize overlapping voice joins, retry aborted startup readiness within the configured timeout, upgrade meeting-notes-only sessions to realtime when the normal follow join arrives, detach promoted meeting-notes ownership without leaving voice, and include `OpenClaw` in default realtime wake names.
-- Gateway/restart: honor the configured restart drain budget for embedded runs and avoid spending the deferral timeout twice after forced restart timeouts. (#85708) Thanks @Kaspre.
-- Gateway/boot: run `BOOT.md` startup checks in an isolated boot session so gateway restarts do not overwrite the agent's main session mapping. (#85479)
-- Meeting Notes: include a speaker-labeled transcript section in generated summaries so Discord group voice captures show who said each captured utterance.
-- Discord/voice: recover stale realtime playback state when Discord stream-close/player-idle events do not arrive, and keep generated runtime plugin aliases available after postbuild rewrites.
-- Discord/voice: keep realtime playback running when meeting notes attaches to an existing voice session or a realtime consult starts, and route realtime user transcripts into meeting notes.
-- Config/secrets: preflight active runtime SecretRefs before root and include config writes persist, and roll back unchanged file/env state when post-write refresh fails. Fixes #46531. (#84454) Thanks @samzong.
-- CLI/models: preserve SecretRef-backed custom provider `apiKey` markers when `models status` regenerates `models.json`, avoiding resolved plaintext secrets on disk. Fixes #84632. (#84658) Thanks @NianJiuZst.
-- WhatsApp/auto-reply: deliver deferred media replies through the foreground reply fence so overlapping no-reply turns no longer hide already visible responses. (#85517) Thanks @cavit99.
-- Sessions/security: replace agent-to-agent wildcard allowlist regexes with a precompiled linear matcher so cross-agent access checks avoid backtracking-prone patterns. (#85849) Thanks @SebTardif.
-- WebChat: keep the run-complete indicator in progress until deferred history replay renders the assistant reply, so Done no longer appears before response text. (#85374) Thanks @neeravmakwana.
-- Agents/tools: give timed-out or cancelled process trees a bounded SIGTERM cleanup window before SIGKILL while preserving tree-aware cancellation. Fixes #66399. (#85865) Thanks @IWhatsskill.
-- Agents/subagents: treat aborted subagent stop reasons as killed terminal failures so parent sessions get error announcements instead of silent success. Fixes #72293. (#85860) Thanks @IWhatsskill.
-- Agents/providers: clamp proxy-like OpenAI Chat Completions output caps against the final request payload so strict local/API-compatible servers no longer reject prompts that already consume part of the context window. Fixes #83086. (#85889) Thanks @rendrag-git.
-- Agents/compaction: skip agent-harness preflight for provider-owned CLI runtime sessions so over-threshold Claude CLI sessions continue through normal compaction instead of failing on a missing harness. Fixes #84857. (#84878) Thanks @zhangguiping-xydt.
-- Codex/app-server: keep successful native hook relays available through a short post-turn grace window so late Codex hook subprocesses can finish policy enforcement without clearing a replacement relay. (#83987) Thanks @Kaspre.
-- Control UI/config: save form-mode edits from the source config snapshot so runtime-only provider defaults like empty `models.providers.<id>.baseUrl` are not written back and rejected. Fixes #85831. Thanks @garyd9.
-- Browser/existing-session: launch Chrome DevTools MCP with usage statistics disabled by default so its telemetry watchdog stays off unless an operator explicitly opts in. (#85886) Thanks @rohitjavvadi.
-- Telegram: normalize legacy durable group retry targets before retry sends, polls, and pins so group retries keep using the real chat id. (#85656) Thanks @luoyanglang.
-- Agents/PDF: route MiniMax PDF fallback policy through plugin metadata so MiniMax uses text extraction instead of VLM image fallback. (#85590, fixes #85575) Thanks @neeravmakwana.
-- CLI/plugins: tighten timeout, numeric option, media payload, permission, profile/TLS, plugin metadata, JSON, and remote URL handling; prevent stuck progress/app-server/IRC/Synology/Twitch waits; and keep imported chat history ordering stable.
-- Telegram/config: suppress the missing `accounts.default` warning when `channels.telegram.defaultAccount` names a configured account that also sorts first. Fixes #83948. Thanks @crypto86m.
-- Telegram: serialize visible topic replies through core reply-lane admission so heartbeat and queued follow-up turns cannot continue ownerless or misroute responses. (#85709) Thanks @jalehman.
-- CLI/node: print node status recovery hints on stdout consistently while keeping status errors on stderr. Fixes #83925. Thanks @davinci282828.
-- WebChat: summarize internal message-tool source replies so tool cards no longer duplicate the visible reply body. (#84773) Thanks @jason-allen-oneal.
-- Gateway/WebChat: hide duplicate `gateway-injected` assistant rows when Cursor ACP already persisted the same `acp-runtime` reply. Fixes #85741. Thanks @lxf-lxf.

-- Gateway/update: stop treating inherited macOS `XPC_SERVICE_NAME` values as launchd supervision during update respawn, so GUI-spawned gateways use detached respawn instead of exiting for a missing LaunchAgent. Fixes #85224. Thanks @richardmqq.
-- Gateway: stop sending duplicate message-phase `sessions.changed` websocket events after displayable `session.message` transcript updates. (#84834)
-- Agents/subagents: report tool-only child progress during timeout summaries instead of showing no visible output.
-- Telegram/ACP: preserve explicit `:topic:` conversation suffixes when inbound ACP targets do not carry a separate thread id.

-- Ollama: bypass the managed proxy for configured local embedding origins while keeping SSRF guardrails on unconfigured targets. Thanks @Kaspre.
-- OpenAI/images: route Codex API-key image generation through the native OpenAI Images API instead of the Codex OAuth streaming backend, avoiding 401s from valid API keys.

-- Codex/Windows: run app-server protocol formatting through the shared pnpm runner so native Windows avoids raw `.cmd` launches.
-- Plugins/Windows: run plugin npm package staging through the shared npm runner so native Windows release checks avoid bare `npm` lookup and `.cmd` shell-argv handling.
-- Checks/Windows: route full `pnpm check` stage commands through the managed child runner so Windows avoids Node shell-argv deprecation warnings there too.
-- Agents/fs: allow workspace-only host write/edit tools to write through in-workspace symlink directory parents while preserving outside-workspace symlink rejection. Fixes #84696. Thanks @garbagenetwork.
-- Checks/Windows: run managed child commands through explicit `cmd.exe` wrapping instead of Node shell mode with argv, avoiding Node 24 subprocess deprecation warnings during changed checks.
-- Gateway: omit internal stream-error placeholder entries from agent prompt history so failed assistant turns are not replayed as model-authored text. (#85652) Thanks @anyech.
-- Sessions: enforce the session write-lock max-hold policy during lock acquisition so long-held locks can be reclaimed before the stale-lock window. (#85764) Thanks @njuboy11.
-- Sessions/status: preserve user-facing model, fallback, usage, and cost attribution when internal subagent handoff runs use fallback models. (#85726, fixes #85082) Thanks @brokemac79.

-- Agents/subagents: keep Codex persona and user workspace files turn-scoped so native Codex subagents inherit only shared tool guidance by default. (#85811) Thanks @lastguru-net.
-- CLI/skills: show an all-ready note with next-step commands when skill setup has no missing dependencies to install. (#85032) Thanks @aniruddhaadak80.
-- Microsoft Foundry: route DeepSeek V4 Pro and Flash models through the Foundry Responses API while keeping older DeepSeek models on their existing path. (#85549) Thanks @roslinmahmud.

-- Agents/OpenAI Responses: retry non-visible reasoning-only turns for OpenAI Responses API families instead of treating them as empty failed turns. (#85603) Thanks @SebTardif.
-- Directive tags: preserve message and content-part object identity when display stripping makes no directive-tag changes. (#85682) Thanks @willamhou.
-- Telegram: send local `path`/`filePath` and structured attachment media from `sendMessage` actions instead of dropping them or sending text-only messages. (#85219) Thanks @keshavbotagent.
-- Sessions/status: show the estimated context budget when fresh provider usage is unavailable and clear stale estimates across session resets and compaction boundaries. (#84830) Thanks @giodl73-repo.
-- Gateway/config: pin relative `OPENCLAW_STATE_DIR` overrides to an absolute path at startup so later working-directory changes cannot retarget gateway state. (#52264) Thanks @PerfectPan.
-- Checks/Parallels: make changed-lane scripts, shrinkwrap generation, and Parallels package smoke host commands run through native Windows-safe paths and `npm`/`pnpm` shims.
-- Release/package: run npm release, prepublish, and postpublish verification through Windows-safe npm command shims so native Windows checks can execute `npm.cmd` instead of treating it as a binary.
-- Agents/harness: pass CLI runtime aliases through harness selection so provider-owned CLI aliases no longer get rejected before reaching the right runtime. (#85631) Thanks @potterdigital.
-- Secrets: show the irreversible apply warning after interactive `secrets configure` confirmation so confirmed migrations still get the final safety prompt. (#85638) Thanks @alkor2000.
-- Agents/CLI output: ignore cumulative Claude `stream-json` result usage when assistant usage events are present, preventing inflated cache-read accounting. (#85625) Thanks @zhouhe-xydt.
-- CLI: keep `waitForever()` alive by leaving its keep-alive interval ref'd so the public helper no longer exits immediately with Node's unsettled-await code. (#85694) Thanks @m1qaweb.
-- Agents/bootstrap: guard bootstrap name checks against missing file names so malformed bootstrap entries warn and truncate instead of crashing. Fixes #85523. (#85615) Thanks @zhouhe-xydt.
-- CLI/tasks: reject partially numeric `openclaw tasks audit --limit` values so audit limits must be real positive integers instead of accepting strings like `5abc`. (#84901) Thanks @jbetala7.
-- Status/diagnostics: bound deep Docker audit probes so `openclaw status --deep` reports slow container checks instead of hanging behind unbounded inspection. (#85476) Thanks @giodl73-repo.
-- Providers/Anthropic: migrate 1M context handling to GA-capable Claude 4.x models by sizing eligible models at 1M without the retired `context-1m-2025-08-07` beta, ignoring that retired beta in older configs, and preserving OAuth-required Anthropic beta headers. (#45613) Thanks @haoyu-haoyu.
-- Cron/Telegram: parse forum-topic delivery targets through the Telegram plugin instead of cron core, including `:topic:` and `:topicId` forms for announce delivery. Thanks @etticat.

-- Gateway: defer channel account startup work until HTTP readiness and remove startup model prewarm, avoiding startup event-loop stalls and timer-delay warnings.
-- Models/perf: reuse plugin metadata during models.json planning, keep bundled catalog augmentation manifest/static, and use static provider catalogs for metadata-only startup discovery so provider model normalization, auth discovery, and Gateway startup metadata do not reload broad plugin runtimes.
-- Agents: let embedded compaction fallback retries proceed when PI-compatible candidates do not need agent harness plugin preparation.
-- Agents/tools: honor configured custom provider API keys when deciding whether media, image-generation, video-generation, music-generation, and PDF tools are available. (#85570)
-- StepFun: stop advertising stale generic API key auth choices so onboarding only offers runtime-backed Standard and Step Plan choices.
-- Diagnostics: keep OpenTelemetry log bodies behind explicit content capture and scrub scoped agent-session keys from OpenTelemetry and Prometheus labels while preserving bounded queue-lane prefixes.
-- Windows installer: fail Git checkout installs when `pnpm install` or `pnpm build` fails instead of writing a wrapper to a missing CLI build.
-- Sessions: surface previous-transcript archive failures during `/new` rotation so disk rename errors are logged instead of silently hiding stranded transcript files. Fixes #81984. (#85586, from #82081) Thanks @0xghost42.
-- TUI/agents: mirror internal-ui message-tool replies into final chat output so message-tool-only agents remain visible in `openclaw tui`. Fixes #85538. Thanks @danpolasek.
-- Gateway/TUI: preserve source-reply metadata through reply normalization and emit message-tool-only agent replies over the live chat stream so `openclaw tui` renders Codex replies without waiting for a history refresh. Thanks @shakkernerd.
-- Codex/TUI: keep long source-reply runs alive after Codex reasoning completes so delayed visible `message` calls can still reach `openclaw tui`. Thanks @shakkernerd.
-- TUI: keep quiet active runs busy after the response watchdog notice instead of reopening the prompt and encouraging duplicate submissions while the backend turn is still running. Thanks @shakkernerd.
-- Agents: preserve the latest assistant thinking blocks while stripping invalid replay signatures from older turns, and retry Anthropic thinking failures without thinking replay. Fixes #85557. Thanks @bryanbaer.
-- Agents: keep parallel OpenAI-compatible tool-call deltas in separate argument buffers so interleaved tool calls no longer corrupt streamed arguments. (#82263) Thanks @luna-system.
-- Telegram: avoid false pairing prompts after transient pairing-store read failures while preserving configured `allowFrom` and per-DM pairing authorization. (#85555)
-- Memory/doctor: report missing or unusable QMD workspace directories as workspace failures instead of generic binary failures. (#63167) Thanks @sercada.
-- Debug proxy: record CONNECT client-socket errors and destroy the paired upstream socket so abrupt client disconnects no longer leak tunnel resources. (#82444) Thanks @SebTardif.
-- Diffs: continue hydrating later diff cards when one card fails so a single broken card no longer blanks the whole diff viewer. (#84775) Thanks @cosmopolitan033.
-- Mac app: use the native settings sidebar window chrome so the sidebar toggle stays on the left and content no longer clips under oversized titlebar padding.
-- QA-Lab/Codex: bundle auth/plugin fixture imports for flow scenarios and let terminal async media tools end Codex app-server turns without timing out. (#80397, refs #80323) Thanks @100yenadmin.
-- WhatsApp: persist inbound message delivery state through plugin state before dispatch and delay read receipts until handler completion, so retryable failures can redeliver without adding a plugin-local disk cache. Thanks @samzong.
-- Gateway/agents: preserve fresh session overrides and metadata when stale cached agent-session entries race with store updates, so subagent model/provider overrides and routing policy survive concurrent writes. (#19328) Thanks @CodeReclaimers.
-- Control UI/chat: keep chat session search inline with the session selector so the header no longer shows a duplicate standalone search row.
-- Control UI/chat: collapse focused-mode header chrome and suppress hidden-header scroll updates so focus mode no longer jumps while scrolling. Thanks @amknight.
-- Codex app-server: restart the native app-server and retry once when server-side compaction times out, so preflight compaction stalls recover instead of failing every dispatch. (#85500)
-- Restore Control UI gateway token pairing [AI]. (#85459) Thanks @pgondhi987.
-- OpenAI video: honor configured provider request private-network opt-in for local/custom video endpoints so explicitly trusted mock and self-hosted providers are not blocked. Thanks @shakkernerd.
-- OpenAI video: send uploaded video edit requests to the documented `/videos/edits` endpoint with a `video` file instead of posting MP4 references to `/videos`. Thanks @shakkernerd.
-- Agents/channels: preserve message-tool delivery evidence through gateway agent completion handoffs so successful generated media sends are not followed by false failure messages. Thanks @shakkernerd.
-- CLI/update: repair managed npm plugin `openclaw` peer links during post-core convergence and reject stale or wrong-target peer links before restart. (#83794) Thanks @fuller-stack-dev.

-- Browser/Doctor: read macOS Chrome app bundle versions from `Info.plist` before spawning Chrome and extend the fallback version probe timeout, avoiding false cold-cache warnings from Gatekeeper latency. Fixes #85418. Thanks @davidcittadini.
-- Codex app-server: disable native Code Mode when the effective exec host is `node` and keep OpenClaw `exec`/`process` available, so `/exec host=node` routes shell commands through the selected node instead of the gateway. Fixes #85012. (#85090) Thanks @sahilsatralkar.
-- Agents: bound embedded auto-compaction session write-lock watchdogs to the compaction timeout instead of the full run timeout, so stuck compaction cannot hold the live session lock for the whole run window. (#84949) Thanks @luoyanglang.
-- Gateway/agents: return phase-aware `agent.wait` timeout attribution and only cool auth profiles on provider-started timeouts. Refs #65504. Thanks @100yenadmin.
-- Gateway/systemd: launch managed update handoff helpers in a transient user scope so systemd-supervised Update Now flows survive the gateway unit restart. Fixes #84068.
-- Gateway: defer provider auth-state prewarm until after startup readiness so early gateway tool/session requests are not blocked by provider auth discovery. (#85272) Thanks @dutifulbob.

-- Gateway/models: stop cancelled provider auth-state prewarms from continuing full provider sweeps, so reload and auth-failure bursts no longer keep startup busy.
-- Agents/Codex: show the first plan update as a transient chat status notice without counting it as final assistant content.
-- CLI/update: walk the macOS process ancestry and honor the inherited Gateway runtime PID before package updates stop the managed Gateway service, so nested in-band updater children can refuse instead of killing the LaunchAgent-supervised Gateway that owns them. Fixes #85120.
-- Gateway/LaunchAgent: wait for launchd reload bootout to finish and fall back to kickstart when bootstrap races, so reload handoff does not leave the service deregistered. Fixes #84630. (#84641) Thanks @NianJiuZst.
-- Gateway/LaunchAgent: treat a concurrent launchd bootstrap as a successful restart when the service is already loaded, avoiding false macOS Gateway restart failures. Fixes #84721. (#84722) Thanks @googlerest.

-- Control UI/chat: disable the thinking selector for known non-reasoning models instead of showing duplicate Off choices. Fixes #84069. Thanks @DrippingMellow.
-- Memory: expand `~` in configured extra memory paths before resolving them, so home-relative folders are not treated as workspace-relative. Fixes #58026. Thanks @stadman.
-- Skills: treat `openclaw.os: macos` as Darwin when checking skill requirements, so macOS-only skills no longer report as missing on macOS hosts. Fixes #61338. Thanks @Jessecq1995.

-- Docker: pre-create the workspace and auth-profile config mount points with `node` ownership so first-run named volumes do not start root-owned. Fixes #85076. Thanks @Noerr.
-- Telegram: pass configured markdown table mode through outbound markdown chunking so chunked sends render tables consistently. Fixes #85085. Thanks @ShuaiHui.
-- Diagnostics/OTel: drop snake_case diagnostic id attributes alongside camelCase ids so exported telemetry cannot leak run, session, message, chat, trace, or tool-call identifiers. (#72645) Thanks @Lion0710.
-- CLI/update: preserve managed Gateway service environment during package cutovers so macOS LaunchAgent repair/restart reads the pre-update service state instead of caller shell state. (#83026)
-- Agents/providers: honor per-model `api` and `baseUrl` overrides in custom provider auth hooks and transport selection. Fixes #80487. (#80488) Thanks @huveewomg.
-- Gateway/restart: eager-load the lifecycle runtime before in-place upgrade signal handling so package replacement does not deadlock restart imports. (#84890) Thanks @myps6415.
-- CLI/update: start managed Gateway update handoff helpers from a stable existing directory and tolerate deleted cwd/package roots during macOS LaunchAgent handoff. Fixes #83808. (#83875) Thanks @jason-allen-oneal.
-- Skills: watch each shared skill directory once across agent workspaces instead of once per agent, preventing file-descriptor exhaustion (`EMFILE`) that disposed bundle-mcp processes and stalled sessions on multi-agent gateways. Fixes #84968. (#85130) Thanks @openperf.
-- Release/security: keep generated npm shrinkwrap package versions inside the pnpm lock graph so published package locks cannot bypass pnpm dependency age and override policy.
-- Cron: honor `cron.retry.retryOn: ["network"]` for common network error codes such as `EAI_AGAIN`, `EHOSTUNREACH`, and `ENETUNREACH`.
-- Gateway chat: broadcast returned agent-run error payloads after an agent starts so ACP/WebChat clients receive terminal idle-timeout errors. Fixes #84945.
-- Gateway chat display: preserve OpenAI-compatible `prompt_tokens`, `completion_tokens`, and `total_tokens` usage fields in sanitized chat history so llama.cpp sessions keep context counts. Fixes #77992. Thanks @MarTT79.
-- Dashboard/CLI: allow macOS browser launching through `open` even when SSH environment variables are present, while preserving Linux SSH no-display protection. Fixes #67088. Thanks @theglove44.
-- Codex app-server: keep native web search observations out of mirrored chat transcripts while preserving available action query metadata in tool progress telemetry. Fixes #85109. Thanks @ugitmebaby.
-- OpenCode Go: strip unsupported Kimi reasoning replay fields before provider requests so repeated `kimi-k2.6` turns do not fail schema validation. Fixes #83812. Thanks @Sleeck.
-- Browser/CDP: add a WSL2 portproxy self-loop hint when Chrome DevTools endpoints accept connections but return an empty HTTP reply. Fixes #59209. Thanks @Owlock.
-- Agents/tools: add bounded tool-policy audit log entries that identify which allow/deny rule removed tools or blocked a sandboxed tool call. Fixes #55801. Thanks @justinjkline.
-- CLI/logs: read implicit local Gateway logs through the passive backend client path so `openclaw logs --follow` does not register as a paired device, and use the active Linux systemd journal instead of stale configured-file fallbacks when live local RPC is unavailable. Fixes #83656 and #66841.
-- Agents/OpenAI: preserve structured provider error code, type, and redacted body metadata on boundary-aware transport failures.
-- Doctor/Codex: point native Codex asset warnings at the canonical `openclaw migrate plan codex` preview command. Fixes #84948. Thanks @markoa.
-- CLI/models: make `capability model auth logout --agent` remove auth profiles from the selected non-default agent store. Fixes #85092. Thanks @islandpreneur007.
-- Gateway/models: reuse prepared provider auth metadata during model-listing auth checks so repeated lookups avoid broad plugin discovery while preserving synthetic local auth.
-- CLI/status: suppress systemd user-service setup hints when `openclaw status --deep` can already reach a running Gateway RPC service. Fixes #85094. Thanks @islandpreneur007.
-- CLI/devices: recover local approval when a same-device repair request replaces the request ID being approved.
-- CLI/agents: retry transient normal-close Gateway handshakes before falling back to embedded `openclaw agent` execution.
-- CLI/update: keep managed Gateway service stop/restart status lines out of `openclaw update --json` stdout so package-update automation can parse the JSON payload.
-- Plugins: resolve OpenClaw plugin SDK subpaths for native external plugin runtimes without mutating package installs or broadening process-wide module resolution.
-- Agents/OpenAI: preserve Responses and Chat Completions `reasoning_tokens` usage metadata without double-counting it in aggregate output tokens. (#85319)
-- Control UI/chat: convert pasted `data:image/...;base64,...` clipboard text into an image attachment instead of dumping the payload into the composer. Fixes #62604. Thanks @cpwilhelmi.
-- Providers/Gemini: strip fractional seconds from web-search time range filters so Gemini accepts freshness-bound search requests. (#85071) Thanks @Noerr.
-- OpenAI Codex: preserve image input support for sparse `openai-codex/gpt-5.5` catalog rows. (#85095) Thanks @sercada.
-- CLI/models: add a piped or pasted API-key path for OpenAI Codex auth and warn when API keys are pasted into token-mode auth. (#85533) Thanks @joshavant.

-- Plugins/discovery: strip `-plugin` package suffixes when deriving plugin id hints so package names line up with manifest ids. (#85170) Thanks @JulyanXu.
-- Tlon: stop advertising a non-existent agent tool contract in the plugin manifest.
-- Telegram: preserve fenced code block languages through Markdown rendering so Telegram receives `language-*` code classes. (#85209) Thanks @leno23.
-- Windows installer: run npm and Corepack command shims from a Windows-local directory so installs launched from WSL2 UNC paths do not fail before OpenClaw is installed.
-- Windows updates: roll back git-backed updates to the previous checkout when dependency install, build, UI build, or doctor repair fails.
-- Windows installer: persist user-local portable Git on PATH and activate the repo-pinned pnpm version for git-backed installs and updates.
-- Windows installer: bootstrap a user-local portable Node.js when native Windows has no Node and no winget, Chocolatey, or Scoop, so first-run installs can continue on raw hosts.
-- Windows installer: extract the downloaded portable Node.js directory with native `tar` before falling back to .NET zip extraction, avoiding PowerShell 5.1 archive and path-length failures.
-- fix(integrations): enforce channel read target allowlists [AI]. (#84982) Thanks @pgondhi987.
-- Agents/heartbeat: route single-owner `session.dmScope=main` direct-message exec and cron event wakes back to the agent main session so async completions no longer strand context in orphan direct-DM queues. Fixes #71581. (#83743) Thanks @Kaspre.
-- Agents/code-mode: expose outer code-mode `exec` source through the `command` hook alias with `toolKind`/`toolInputKind` discriminators so exec-shaped policies can distinguish code-mode cells. (#83483) Thanks @Kaspre.
-- Agents/code mode: return structured timeout and runtime-unavailable error codes for known worker failures. Fixes #83389. (#83444) Thanks @Kaspre.

-- Gateway CLI: surface local post-challenge connect assembly failures immediately instead of waiting for the wrapper timeout. Fixes #68944. (#85253) Thanks @samzong.
-- Messages: strip unsupported web-search citation control markers from outbound replies before they reach WebChat or external channels. Fixes #85193. (#85204) Thanks @neeravmakwana.
-- Agents/exec: treat denied exec approvals as terminal instead of feeding them back into agent follow-up work, and recognize Chinese stop phrases in abort handling. Fixes #69386. (#85194) Thanks @samzong.
-- CLI/agents: abort accepted Gateway-backed `openclaw agent` runs on SIGINT/SIGTERM so cron and supervisor timeouts do not leave remote agent work alive. Fixes #71710. (#84381) Thanks @Kaspre.
-- Codex app-server: retry replay-safe stdio client-close turns once using structured failure metadata, while surfacing idle `turn/completed` timeouts instead of blindly replaying active shared-server turns. Thanks @VACInc.

-- Providers/Google: preserve Gemini 3 cron `thinkingDefault: "low"` when stale catalog metadata says `reasoning:false`, so scheduled runs keep provider-supported thinking instead of downgrading to off. (#85185) Thanks @neeravmakwana.
-- CLI/agents: allow `openclaw agent --session-key` to target explicit session keys, including agent-scoped legacy keys. (#85121) Thanks @Kaspre.
-- Auto-reply/ACP: wait for same-channel block reply delivery before starting tool work, while still honoring ACP dispatch aborts so stopped turns do not wait on slow channel sends. (#83722) Thanks @IWhatsskill.
-- Codex/ACP: mark required child-run completions that only report progress, omit a final deliverable, or fail requester delivery as blocked while preserving real final reports. (#85110) Thanks @IWhatsskill.
-- Channels: treat bare abort messages such as `stop`, `abort`, and `wait` as immediate control commands in inbound debounce paths so stop requests are not delayed behind pending message coalescing. (#83348) Thanks @IWhatsskill.
-- Channels/message tool: resolve configured external channel plugins during in-agent channel selection, so `openclaw agent --local` message-tool sends no longer report an available channel as unavailable. (#85022) Thanks @Kaspre.
-- Agents/heartbeat: honor group/channel `message_tool` visible-reply policy and model-specific Codex runtime config for scheduled heartbeat runs, so failed internal tool output stays private. Fixes #85310. (#85357) Thanks @neeravmakwana.
-- Gateway/ACP: close child ACP sessions spawned via `sessions_spawn` when their parent session is reset or deleted, instead of leaving orphaned `claude-agent-acp` processes that accumulate and exhaust memory. Fixes #68916. (#85190) Thanks @openperf.
-- Codex app-server: block native execution paths when OpenClaw exec resolves to a node host while preserving the first-party CLI node binding path. Fixes #85012. (#85534) Thanks @joshavant.
-- Diagnostics: bound cleanup timeout detail logs, emit drop summaries when async diagnostic bursts exceed the queue cap, and surface async queue drops through diagnostic telemetry.
-- Agents/subagents: surface blocked child-run completions as errors instead of successful subagent finishes. (#80886) Thanks @TurboTheTurtle.
-- Context engines: fail closed with a descriptive error when the selected agent runtime cannot satisfy declared context-engine host requirements.
-- Agents/Pi: treat accepted embedded `sessions_spawn` child-session handoffs as terminal progress so parent turns no longer report false non-deliverable failures. (#85054) Thanks @samzong.
-- CLI/models: resolve `openclaw models set` aliases from the runtime config while keeping authored aliases ahead of runtime-only defaults. (#83262) Thanks @IWhatsskill.
-- Doctor: show personal Codex CLI asset notices as info instead of warnings. Fixes #84859.
-- WhatsApp: update Baileys to `7.0.0-rc13` and drop the obsolete logger type patch.
-- CLI/update: pre-pack GitHub/git package update targets before the staged npm install, restoring `openclaw update --tag main` for one-off package updates. (#81296) Thanks @fuller-stack-dev.
-- Gateway: mirror successful same-source message-tool sends into session transcripts so delivered replies stay in later history/context. (#84837) Thanks @iFiras-Max1.
-- Media generation: keep image, music, and video completion delivery from duplicating or losing task ownership when generated media finishes through active session replies. (#84006) Thanks @fuller-stack-dev.
-- CLI/doctor: remove stale bundled plugin load paths from old versioned OpenClaw package roots after pnpm/npm upgrades. Fixes #58626. Thanks @solink7.
-- Infra/json: retry transient `File changed during read` races while loading JSON state so config and state reads recover instead of failing the turn. (#84285)
-- Plugins/providers: fail closed for workspace provider plugins during setup-mode discovery unless explicitly trusted, preventing untrusted workspace plugin code from running during provider setup. (#81069) Thanks @mmaps.
-- Providers/Ollama: resolve configured Ollama Cloud `OLLAMA_API_KEY` markers to the real discovery key so cloud provider entries keep authenticated model catalog access. (#85037)
-- Discord: keep persistent component registry fallback warnings actionable by forwarding structured error and cause metadata through the runtime logger. Fixes #84185. (#84190) Thanks @100menotu001.
-- Gateway/sessions: preserve compatible session auth profile overrides when switching models within the same provider, including provider-auth aliases. Fixes #81837. (#81886) Thanks @TurboTheTurtle.
-- Gateway/status: surface inbound delivery telemetry counters and transport-liveness warnings in `openclaw status --all`. Fixes #49577. (#72724)
-- Docker: prune package-excluded plugin source workspaces and dependency closures so runtime images do not keep packages for plugins that were not opted in.
-- Providers/Ollama: treat Docker/OrbStack host aliases as local Ollama endpoints so `ollama-local` marker auth works when OpenClaw runs inside a VM/container and Ollama runs on the host. Fixes #84875.
-- QA-Lab: keep explicitly searchable/deferred OpenClaw dynamic tool rows report-only by default so tool-coverage gates do not treat mock discovery gaps as hard product failures. (#80319) Thanks @100yenadmin.
-- Agents/config: keep non-Google provider model refs from being rewritten by Google Gemini preview-id normalization. (#84762) Thanks @zhangguiping-xydt.
-- Installer: require a real controlling terminal before launching onboarding so headless `curl | bash` installs finish cleanly after installing the CLI.
-- Agents/Codex: promote a completed final assistant response when a prompt timeout races Codex app-server completion instead of returning an empty timeout envelope. Refs #84516.
-- Codex app-server: keep interrupted turn statuses from being treated as OpenClaw aborts by themselves, so tool-only turns remain eligible for no-visible-answer recovery. Fixes #84492.
-- Agents: cap heartbeat model bleed context hints by the stored session window when runtime model metadata is unavailable, so overflow recovery advice does not suggest a larger window than the active session actually has.
-- Control UI/Web Push: use `https://openclaw.ai` as the generated default VAPID subject instead of the old localhost mailbox so iOS PWA push setup uses an Apple-acceptable subject when `OPENCLAW_VAPID_SUBJECT` is unset. Fixes #83134. (#83317) Thanks @IWhatsskill.
-- Control UI: distinguish inherited thinking-off settings from explicit Off selections so the thinking selector no longer shows two identical Off rows. (#85223) Thanks @amknight.
-- Agents/Pi: keep embedded session transcript writes from tripping false takeover detection after packaged npm onboarding agent turns.
-- Codex/TUI: surface Codex-native post-turn compaction failures instead of continuing uncompacted, and keep successful native compaction serialized before local idle/next-turn handling. Fixes #84305. (#85160) Thanks @joshavant.
-- Memory/search: stop recall tracking from writing dreaming side-effect artifacts when `dreaming.enabled=false`, while preserving normal search results. Fixes #84436. (#84444) Thanks @NianJiuZst.
-- Diffs: render viewer toolbar icons from a closed icon-name map instead of HTML strings, removing the toolbar icon XSS sink. (#83955) Thanks @tanshanshan.
-- QA: keep `pnpm qa:e2e` self-check runs inside the private QA runtime envelope even when inherited shell env disables bundled plugins.
-- fix(config): validate browser sandbox bind sources [AI]. (#84799) Thanks @pgondhi987.
-- doctor: constrain legacy plugin cleanup paths [AI]. (#84801) Thanks @pgondhi987.
-- Update/doctor: prune stale local bundled plugin install records that point at old compiled bundled output so current bundled plugin schemas win after upgrade. (#84863) Thanks @fuller-stack-dev.
-- Providers/Ollama: preserve native Ollama tool-call IDs across assistant replay so Gemini over Ollama Cloud can keep its hidden function-call thought-signature handle.
-- Discord: keep session recovery and `/stop` abort ownership on the source dispatch lane while bound ACP turns continue routing to their target session, so stalled pre-run work and late replies are cleared instead of leaking after stop. Fixes #84477. (#85100) Thanks @joshavant.
-- Discord/voice-call: keep forced realtime voice consult diagnostics in debug logs instead of agent prompts, so callers do not hear OpenClaw policy text when the provider misses `openclaw_agent_consult`. (#84411) Thanks @fuller-stack-dev.
-- Codex app-server: mark missing turn completion after observed execution as replay-unsafe and release the session so follow-up turns can run. Fixes #84076. (#85107) Thanks @joshavant.
-- Codex app-server: give visible `message` dynamic tool sends a longer timeout budget so slow channel delivery can return its own result or error instead of hitting the 30-second Codex wrapper. (#85216) Thanks @amknight.
-- Codex app-server: add a dedicated post-tool raw assistant completion idle timeout config so trusted heavy turns can wait longer after tool handoff without weakening final assistant release.
-- Matrix: keep explicitly configured two-person rooms on the room route before stale `m.direct` or strict two-member DM fallback can bypass mention gating. Fixes #85017. (#85137) Thanks @joshavant.
-- Agents/subagents: require explicit subagent allowlist targets to be configured agents so stale deleted-agent ids are omitted from `agents_list` and rejected by `sessions_spawn`. Fixes #84811. (#85154) Thanks @joshavant.
-- PDF tool: time out idle remote PDF body reads after 120 seconds so stalled remote documents return an error instead of wedging the session. Fixes #68649. (#84768) Thanks @luoyanglang.
-- Diagnostics/OpenTelemetry plugin: suppress handled OTLP exporter promise rejections so collector shutdowns no longer crash the Gateway. (#81085) Thanks @luoyanglang.
-- Agents/exec: omit raw command text and env values from denied exec failure logs while keeping safe correlation metadata. Fixes #85049. (#85140) Thanks @joshavant.
-- Media-understanding: restore the 4096-token default for image descriptions so reasoning-capable vision models no longer truncate before returning text, while preserving smaller model caps. (#84932) Thanks @scotthuang.
-- Media/audio: skip empty structured sherpa-onnx transcripts instead of treating the raw JSON payload as spoken text. (#84667) Thanks @TurboTheTurtle.
-- Agents/exec: preserve inherited XDG base-directory environment values for subprocesses while still rejecting agent-supplied XDG overrides. Fixes #84854. (#85139) Thanks @joshavant.
-- Node/Linux: keep `OPENCLAW_GATEWAY_TOKEN` out of generated systemd unit files by writing node service token values to a node-specific env file. (#84408)
-- Memory-core/dreaming: reuse stable narrative subagent session keys per workspace and phase while keeping per-run idempotency and bounded cleanup, so stale `dreaming-narrative-*` sessions do not accumulate. Fixes #68252, #69187, and #70402. (#70464) Thanks @chiyouYCH.
-- Trajectory/support: tolerate partial skill snapshot entries when building support metadata so rejected skill path scans no longer abort trajectory capture. (#71185) Thanks @lukeboyett.
-- TUI: coalesce repeated idle Esc abort notices into a single `no active run xN` system row instead of appending duplicate rows.
-- Telegram: honor `channels.telegram.pollingStallThresholdMs` in the default isolated polling path, restarting silent workers instead of leaving inbound updates wedged. Fixes #83950. (#84861) Thanks @joshavant.
-- Telegram: dedupe replayed message dispatches by Telegram chat/message identity so isolated-ingress replays do not trigger duplicate model dispatches. Fixes #84886. (#85208) Thanks @joshavant.
-- Slack: suppress reasoning payloads before reply delivery and dispatch accounting, so Slack monitor, slash-command, fallback, and direct reply paths do not leak model reasoning. Fixes #84319. (#84322) Thanks @ffluk3 and @joshavant.
-- Slack: deliver native plugin approval prompts and updates when Slack native approvals are enabled, while keeping plugin approval authorization separate from exec approvers.
-- Slack: keep native plugin approval prompts in the originating app conversation thread when the live Slack turn source is a `D...` conversation.
-- Agents/Pi: disable the embedded pi-coding-agent runtime auto-retry so OpenClaw's own retry and failover loop does not replay failed tool calls through a nested SDK retry. Fixes #73781. (#74434) Thanks @yelog.
-- CLI/perf: keep `setup --help`, `onboard --help`, and `configure --help` out of the full wizard runtime while preserving the existing help output. (#84488) Thanks @frankekn.
-- CLI/perf: keep `agents --help` out of agents action/runtime imports so help, completion, and command discovery paths avoid loading the full agents runtime. (#84483) Thanks @frankekn.
-- CLI/perf: keep `secrets --help` and `nodes --help` on the precomputed help path so parent help avoids loading action-heavy command runtime modules. (#84818) Thanks @frankekn.
-- CLI/perf: serve `doctor`, `gateway`, `models`, and `plugins` parent help from startup metadata so common subcommand help avoids full CLI program construction. (#84786) Thanks @frankekn.
-- Codex/Lossless: keep context-engine history on the canonical run session when Telegram DMs use per-peer runtime policy keys. Fixes #84936. (#84954) Thanks @neeravmakwana.
-- Codex: keep heartbeat response tool schemas durable without exposing dynamic tools disabled by turn policy, so heartbeat wakeups can reuse threads while scoped tool allowlists stay enforced. (#84681) Thanks @jalehman.
-- Auth/OAuth: skip the refresh adapter when a stored OAuth credential has no refresh token so agent turns fail fast on missing-key instead of waiting on the 120s refresh timeout. Thanks @romneyda.
-- Auth/Codex: load legacy OAuth sidecar credentials in the embedded runner's secrets-runtime auth loaders so Telegram replies, cron-triggered turns, and other isolated sub-agent lanes can reach the existing #83312 refresh-and-rewrite migration instead of failing with `No API key found for provider "openai-codex"` until the user runs `openclaw doctor`. Thanks @Totalsolutionsync and @romneyda.
-- Codex/failover: classify `deactivated_workspace` as a permanent auth failure so configured fallback models can advance when a Codex workspace is deactivated. (#55893) Thanks @litang9.
-- Exec: keep configured `tools.exec.pathPrepend` entries ahead of user shell startup PATH changes on POSIX gateway runs. (#81403) Thanks @medns.
-- Gateway/sessions: allow shared-secret bearer callers to read and stream session history without an explicit scope header. (#81815) Thanks @medns.
-- Agents/embedded runner: classify HTML auth provider responses as `auth_html` and return a re-authentication hint instead of the CDN-blocked copy that `upstream_html` returns. Cloudflare Access login pages, nginx basic-auth challenges, and gateway login walls all produce HTML auth bodies that were previously misdiagnosed as transient CDN blocks. (#79900) Thanks @martingarramon.
-- TUI/streaming watchdog: dismiss the `This response is taking longer than expected` notice as soon as a chat event for the same run arrives, so the message no longer sits next to the recovered response when the run was only briefly silent. Refs #67052, #69081 (closed), prior attempt #69026. Thanks @jpruit20 and @romneyda.
-- Agents/Pi: tolerate OpenClaw-owned transcript writes while embedded prompts are released for model I/O, keeping long-running Feishu, Slack, Telegram, and cron turns from failing with false session-takeover errors. Fixes #84059. (#84250) Thanks @tianxiaochannel-oss88.

-## 2026.5.20
-
-### Changes
-
-- Exec approvals: remove the old `cat SKILL.md && printf ... && <skill-wrapper>` allowlist compatibility path so skill files must be loaded with the read tool and only the real skill executable is auto-allowed.
-- Discord: let voice sessions follow configured Discord users into voice channels, with allowed-channel checks, multi-user handoff, bounded reconciliation, and DAVE recovery preservation. (#84264) Thanks @fuller-stack-dev.
-- Discord/voice: include bounded `IDENTITY.md`, `USER.md`, and `SOUL.md` profile context in realtime voice session instructions by default, with `voice.realtime.bootstrapContextFiles: []` available to disable it. (#84499) Thanks @fuller-stack-dev.
-- Dependencies: bump the bundled Codex harness to `@openai/codex` `0.132.0` and refresh the app-server model-list docs for the new catalog.
-- CLI/policy: add the bundled Policy plugin for policy-backed channel conformance checks, doctor lint findings, and opt-in workspace repair. (#80407) Thanks @giodl73-repo.
-- Agents/config: allow `agents.list[].experimental.localModelLean` so lean local-model mode can be enabled for one configured agent instead of globally. (#84073) Thanks @dutifulbob.
-- Providers/xAI: add device-code OAuth login so remote and headless setups can authorize xAI without a localhost browser callback. (#84005) Thanks @fuller-stack-dev.
-- Providers/OpenRouter: honor provider-level `params.provider` routing policy for OpenRouter requests, with model and agent params overriding the defaults. Thanks @amknight.
-
-### Fixes
-
-- CLI/tasks: include stale-running task maintenance decisions in `openclaw tasks maintenance --json` so retained and reconcile candidates explain backing-session, cron, CLI, and wedged-subagent state. (#84691) Thanks @efpiva.
-- Codex app-server: keep system-prompt reports working when bootstrap hooks provide workspace files with only a path and content, so hook-supplied SOUL/IDENTITY/TOOLS/USER context still reports injected characters correctly. (#84736) Thanks @JARVIS-Glasses.
-- Providers/MiniMax music: stop advertising `durationSeconds` control and remove prompt-injected duration hints, so `music_generate` reports MiniMax duration as an unsupported override instead of suggesting MiniMax can enforce track length. Fixes #84508. Thanks @neeravmakwana.
-- Doctor: warn when sandbox tool policy hides configured MCP server tools before provider requests. (#84699) Thanks @nxmxbbd.
-- WhatsApp: update Baileys to `7.0.0-rc12`.
-- Build: suppress per-locale `rolldown-plugin-dts:fake-js` CommonJS dts warnings emitted while bundling the intentionally-inlined `zod/v4/locales/*.d.cts` files, so `pnpm build` output stays readable after the 0.25.1 plugin bump. Thanks @romneyda.
-- CLI/nodes: route lazy plugin-registration logs to stderr for JSON-mode `openclaw nodes` commands so stdout stays parseable. (#84684) Thanks @TurboTheTurtle.
-- Approvals: route manual `/approve` decisions through the trusted approval runtime so active exec and plugin approvals no longer look unknown or expired.
-- Mac app: update the About settings copyright year to 2026. (#84385) Thanks @pejmanjohn.
-- Dependencies: update `@openclaw/fs-safe` to `0.2.7` so OpenClaw's default Python-helper-off policy keeps best-effort Node write fallbacks for private stores, secret writes, run logs, and media attachments on Linux/macOS.
-- Infra/secrets: restore the fail-closed contract for `tryReadSecretFileSync` so credential loaders that pass `rejectSymlink: true` (Telegram, LINE, Zalo, IRC, Nextcloud Talk tokens) refuse symlinked credential files instead of silently accepting them, and the infra-state CI shard's secret-file symlink test passes again. Thanks @romneyda.
-- Browser: honor the configured image sanitization limit for screenshots and labeled snapshots so browser-captured images follow the same resize policy as other image results. (#84595)
-- Doctor: remove unrecognized `models.providers.*.models[*].compat.thinkingFormat` values during `doctor --fix` so stale provider model config can validate after upgrade. Fixes #77803.
-- Doctor: warn when `openclaw.json` stores plaintext secret-bearing config fields, including model provider API keys and sensitive provider headers. (#84718) Thanks @lukaIvanic.
-- Status: show the configured default, session-selected model, reason, clear hint, and docs link when a session remains pinned to a model that differs from `agents.defaults.model.primary`.
-- WebChat: clear stale typing indicators when session change events mark the active chat run complete.
-- Mac app: keep local packaging signed with a stable app identity for permission testing and fix Control UI production builds under current Vite/Highlight.js exports.
-- macOS app: update the embedded Peekaboo bridge to 3.2.1 so OpenClaw-hosted UI automation works with current Peekaboo CLI capture flows.
-- Cron: deliver preferred final assistant output for successful scheduled runs when trailing plain tool warnings remain in diagnostics instead of marking the run failed.
-- fix(mattermost): fail closed on missing channel type [AI]. (#84091) Thanks @pgondhi987.
-- Recheck rebuilt system.run argv [AI]. (#84090) Thanks @pgondhi987.
-- CLI: keep the private QA subcommand out of exported command descriptors unless `OPENCLAW_ENABLE_PRIVATE_QA_CLI=1`, so root help and subcommand markers match runtime registration. (#84519)
-- CLI/cron: bound `openclaw cron show` job lookup pagination so non-advancing or unbounded `cron.list` responses fail instead of hanging the command. Fixes #83856. (#83989)
-- Agents/messages: stop message-tool-only turns after a successful source-channel `message` send while keeping transcript mirrors under the session write lock. (#84289)
-- Agents: filter silent heartbeat response-tool transcript artifacts out of embedded context snapshots so later user turns are not polluted by heartbeat no-op messages. (#83477) Thanks @fuller-stack-dev.
-- Agents/OpenAI: log repeated strict tool-schema downgrade diagnostics once per provider/model/tool signature, reducing duplicate debug noise while preserving `strict=false` fallback behavior. Fixes #82930. (#82933) Thanks @galiniliev.
-- Agents/code mode: spell out the `exec` tool's JavaScript/TypeScript, no Node module, and catalog-bridge constraints in model-visible schema text so agents can use enabled tools without trial-and-error. (#84269) Thanks @Kaspre.
-- Codex: give `image_generate` dynamic-tool calls a 120s default watchdog when no per-call or configured image timeout is set, so image generation no longer falls back to the generic 30s bridge timeout. (#84254) Thanks @moritzmmayerhofer.
-- Codex: avoid duplicate dynamic tool terminal diagnostics while large diagnostic backlogs drain without blocking tool responses. (#82937) Thanks @galiniliev.
-- CLI/message: include a stable top-level `messageId` in `openclaw message --json` output when channel sends return one. (#84191) Thanks @100menotu001.
-- Cron: preserve legacy top-level array `jobs.json` stores when loading or adding scheduled jobs so old cron jobs are no longer treated as an empty store during upgrade. Fixes #60799. (#84433) Thanks @IWhatsskill.
-- Gateway/agents: use an agent's `identity.name` in Gateway agent summaries when `agents.list[].name` is unset, so configured agent labels remain visible in clients. (#84355; refs #57835) Thanks @luoyanglang.
-- Channels/replies: keep normal `/verbose` failed-tool progress compact in message-tool replies and prevent late text-only tool output from appearing after the final answer. (#84303) Thanks @VACInc.
-- Plugins/hooks: apply a default 30-second timeout to `before_compaction` and `after_compaction` hooks so a hung plugin handler no longer blocks compaction completion. (#84153)
-- Discord: preserve reusable presentation buttons through portable conversion and Discord component registration. (#84187) Thanks @100menotu001.
-- Discord: preserve disabled presentation buttons when adapting and rendering Discord message controls. (#84188) Thanks @100menotu001.
-- Twitch: add a test-only client-manager registry reset helper so non-isolated Twitch tests can clear cached managers between cases. Fixes #83887. (#84244) Thanks @hclsys.
-- Cron: run main-session scheduled work on a cron-owned wake lane while preserving reply delivery context, so background cron turns no longer block human main-session chat. Fixes #82766. (#82767) Thanks @galiniliev.
-- Auto-reply/slash commands: require a word boundary after the matched prefix in `parseSlashCommandActionArgs` so `/config-check <args>` (or any skill that shares a built-in command prefix) is no longer captured by the shorter built-in handler. Fixes #84572. Thanks @infracore.
-- Cron: use structured embedded-run denial metadata for isolated scheduled tasks so blocked exec requests fail the job without treating ordinary assistant prose as a denial. (#84067) Thanks @abnershang.
-- Cron: keep recovered tool warnings diagnostic for successful scheduled runs so final cron output is delivered instead of being replaced by a post-processing warning. (#84045) Thanks @abnershang.
-- Plugins/perf: thread explicit plugin discovery results through `loadBundledCapabilityRuntimeRegistry`, `resolveBundledPluginSources`, and `listChannelCatalogEntries` so callers that already hold a discovery result skip redundant filesystem walks. Thanks @SebTardif.
-- harden update restart script creation [AI]. (#84088) Thanks @pgondhi987.
-- Android/Control UI Talk: split realtime voice transcript turns, queue PCM playback writes, and add opt-in OpenClaw consult routing for Gateway relay when a realtime provider skips `openclaw_agent_consult`. (#84181) Thanks @VACInc.
-- Docker: keep the bundled Codex plugin in official release image keep lists so the default OpenAI agent harness remains available after Docker pruning. Fixes #83613. (#83626) Thanks @YuanHanzhong.
-- CLI/channels: preserve the first line of `openclaw channels logs` output when the rolling tail window starts exactly on a line boundary, mirroring the already-fixed `readLogSlice` behavior in `src/logging/log-tail.ts`.
-- Control UI: treat terminal session status as authoritative over stale active-run flags so completed terminal runs stop showing abort/live UI. (#84057)
-- CLI: preserve embedded equals signs in inline root option values instead of truncating after the second separator. (#83995) Thanks @ThiagoCAltoe.
-- Matrix/config: accept `messages.queue.byChannel.matrix` queue overrides and keep queue provider schema/type keys aligned for Matrix, Google Chat, and Mattermost. Thanks @bdjben.
-- CLI: format `openclaw acp client` failures through the shared error formatter so object-shaped errors stay readable instead of printing `[object Object]`. Fixes #83904. (#84080)
-- Agents/message-tool: normalize non-canonical message body aliases (`SendMessage`, `content`, `text`) to `message` before send validation so model-emitted tool calls with aliased body keys are delivered instead of rejected. (#84079)
-- Providers/Ollama: default unknown-capabilities models to tool-capable so discovered native Ollama models can use tools when `/api/show` omits capabilities. (#84055) Thanks @dutifulbob.
-- Codex app-server: disable native Code Mode, user MCP, and app-backed plugin execution while OpenClaw sandboxing is active, routing shell access through `sandbox_exec`/`sandbox_process` instead. (#84388) Thanks @joshavant.
-- Installer/Windows: launch `install.ps1` onboarding as an attached child process so fresh native Windows installs do not freeze visibly at `Starting setup...` or corrupt the wizard's terminal rendering.
-- CLI/update: keep restart health checks working across one-version CLI/Gateway protocol skew and use the managed Gateway service Node for all follow-up commands even when the package root is unchanged, so `openclaw update` no longer silently switches the gateway to a different Node binary when multiple Node installations are present. Thanks @amknight.
-- CLI/gateway: include the running Gateway version in `gateway status` JSON output, preserving existing server metadata while falling back to status RPC data for read probes. Fixes #56222. Thanks @galiniliev.
-- Memory/search: close local embedding providers when active-memory searches time out so pending local model loads and embedding contexts are aborted and released. (#83858) Thanks @brokemac79.
-- CLI/nodes: request pending node surface approval scopes before `openclaw nodes approve` so exec-capable node approval can use admin-scoped Gateway credentials instead of failing with `missing scope: operator.admin`. (#84392) Thanks @joshavant.
-- Gateway: reject slow node event sends before outbound buffers grow unbounded and log the rejected payload diagnostic. (#84387) Thanks @samzong.
-- Agents: include bounded trajectory queued-writer diagnostics in `pi-trajectory-flush` timeout warnings so flush stalls show pending writes, queued bytes, and append state. Fixes #82961. (#82962) Thanks @galiniliev.
-- Agents/subagents: recover stale completion announces by retrying unsupported transcript-wait wakes without transcript waiting and forcing a message-tool handoff when the requester run is already stale. Fixes #83699. (#83700) Thanks @galiniliev.
-- Agents/subagents: constrain wildcard subagent target allowlists to configured agents while preserving explicitly listed compatibility targets. Fixes #84040. (#84357) Thanks @joshavant.
-- Providers/Anthropic: route Anthropic model refs selected with Claude CLI auth through the Claude CLI runtime so shorthand refs such as `anthropic/opus-4.7` no longer fall back to embedded Anthropic billing. Fixes #84222. (#84374) Thanks @joshavant.
-- Agents: honor explicit `models.providers.<id>.timeoutSeconds` values above the default idle watchdog for cloud and self-hosted providers, so long first-token waits no longer fall back at ~120s when the provider timeout is higher. (#83979) Thanks @yujiawei.
-- Agents/Codex: keep encrypted Responses reasoning replay provenance-bound so stale mirrored Codex transcripts drop invalid encrypted content before request assembly while preserving matching same-session replay. Fixes #83836. (#84367) Thanks @joshavant.
-- Agents/subagents: skip stale embedded-run wake probes for dormant completion requesters, so late subagent completions go straight to requester-agent/direct handoff instead of producing `reason=no_active_run` queue noise. (#82964) Thanks @galiniliev.
-- CLI: retry config snapshot reads after a transient failure so one rejected read no longer poisons later commands in the same process. (#83931) Thanks @honor2030.
-- TUI: handle German-layout Kitty keyboard input by ignoring printable release events and accepting AltGr-produced printable characters such as `@` and `€`. Fixes #48897.
-- Media: decode URL path basenames before using them as remote media fallback filenames, so files like `My%20Report.pdf` are surfaced as `My Report.pdf`. Fixes #84050. (#84052) Thanks @jbetala7.
-- WhatsApp: clarify inbound group diagnostics so observed but unregistered groups point to `channels.whatsapp.groups` without changing routing or sender authorization. (#83846) Thanks @neeravmakwana.
-- WhatsApp: drain pending outbound deliveries on a 30s periodic timer in addition to the reconnect handler, so messages enqueued while the provider is already connected no longer wait for the next reconnect to send. (#79083) Thanks @Oviemudiaga.
-- CLI/TUI: include gateway plugin slash commands in TUI autocomplete, so connected sessions can suggest plugin-owned commands exposed by the running Gateway. (#83640) Thanks @se7en-agent.
-- Gateway/mobile: restore QR setup-code handoff of bounded operator tokens for iOS and Android onboarding while keeping admin and pairing scopes out of bootstrap. (#83684) Thanks @ngutman.
-- iOS: repair Release archive compilation for the TestFlight build. (#84255) Thanks @ngutman.
-- Agents/compaction: bound plugin-owned CLI transcript compaction with the host safety timeout so a hung context engine can no longer stall post-turn cleanup. (#84083) Thanks @100yenadmin.
-- Control UI/usage: truncate long context skill, tool, and file names in the usage panel while keeping the full name available on hover. (#42197) Thanks @Rain120.
-- Codex: respect explicit `models auth order set` and `config.auth.order` precedence over stale `lastGood` in `/codex account`, and show `no working credential` when every explicit-order profile is ineligible instead of marking a lower-ranked profile as active. Fixes #84386. (#84412) Thanks @openperf.
-- Agents: honor `messages.suppressToolErrors` for mutating tool failures so configured chat surfaces do not receive separate warning payloads. (#81561) Thanks @moeedahmed.
-- Agents/fallback: surface billing guidance for mixed rate-limit plus billing fallback exhaustion instead of generic failure copy. Fixes #79396. (#79489) Thanks @aayushprsingh.

 ### Fixes
 
-- Agents/exec approvals: return approved WebChat gateway exec output inline after native approval instead of leaving the model waiting for an async follow-up. (#82019) Thanks @Zac-W.
-- CLI/node: reject invalid explicit `node run --port` values instead of silently falling back to the configured or default port. Fixes #83923. Thanks @davinci282828.
-- CLI: reject explicit port numbers above 65535 before they reach Gateway or Node bind paths. Fixes #83900. (#84008) Thanks @hclsys.

-- CI: require real-behavior-proof verdict markers to come from the ClawSweeper GitHub App before accepting exact-head proof. (#83692)
-- Models: show the effective OpenAI/Codex auth profile in `/models` provider headers instead of falling back to the OpenAI env-key label. (#83697) Thanks @yu-xin-c.
-- CLI: include active bundled loopback MCP tools in CLI system prompts and reset provider-side CLI sessions when that prompt-visible tool surface changes. (#83785) Thanks @TurboTheTurtle.
-- Browser: keep a profile `cdpPort` when its `cdpUrl` omits a port, while still letting explicitly written URL ports win. (#82166) Thanks @Marvae.
-- Agents/image generation: allow distinct `image_generate` prompts to start separate session-backed background tasks while same-prompt retries still return the active task status. (#83614) Thanks @Elarwei001.
-- Gateway/WebChat: honor configured `channels.webchat.textChunkLimit` and `chunkMode` overrides when chunking WebChat replies. (#83713)

-- Doctor: preserve legacy whole-agent Claude CLI intent by moving matching Anthropic model selections to model-scoped runtime policy before removing stale runtime pins. Fixes #83491. Thanks @danielcrick.
-- Discord/OpenAI: keep realtime Discord voice sessions hearing follow-up turns with OpenAI realtime and prebuffer assistant playback to avoid choppy starts. (#80505) Thanks @Solvely-Colin.
-- LM Studio: resolve env-template API keys like `${LMSTUDIO_API_KEY}` through the standard SecretInput path instead of sending the raw template as the bearer token, and preserve header-auth and discovery-key precedence when the template is unset. Fixes #80495. (#80568) Thanks @MonkeyLeeT.
-- Discord/subagents: route the initial reply from thread-bound delegated sessions into the bound Discord thread instead of the parent channel. Fixes #83170. (#83172) Thanks @100menotu001.

-- Channels/bundled: append `openclaw doctor --fix` guidance to the bundled-channel load warnings emitted on `ERR_MODULE_NOT_FOUND` / `MODULE_NOT_FOUND` (including those wrapped on `.cause` by the native-require loader), so users hitting unstaged plugin runtime deps (e.g. `nostr-tools`) see an actionable repair hint instead of a bare module-not-found warning. (#76974) Thanks @BSG2000.
-- Telegram: deliver generated media completions back into forum topics by preserving topic IDs across requester-agent handoff. (#83556) Thanks @fuller-stack-dev.

-- Plugins/xAI: echo PKCE challenge fields during OAuth authorization-code token exchange for xAI token-endpoint compatibility. (#83499) Thanks @fuller-stack-dev.
-- Codex app-server: hydrate current inbound image attachments before queued runs so Responses-backed agents receive Discord and other channel images as native vision input. Fixes #83466. Thanks @iannwu.
-- Codex app-server: keep native code mode available without forcing code-mode-only so OpenClaw dynamic tool turns complete through the app-server tool bridge. Fixes #83109. Thanks @daswass.
-- Codex app-server: expose OpenClaw's sandbox-routed shell as `sandbox_exec`/`sandbox_process` for non-Docker sandbox backends so SSH sandbox agents keep a correctly routed shell path without shadowing Codex native shell. Fixes #80322. Thanks @keramblock.
-- Release stability: recover stale session diagnostics and Codex OAuth fallback state so stuck runs and reused refresh tokens clear without blocking follow-up work. (#83503) Thanks @100yenadmin.
-- Messages/TTS: apply TTS directives before message-tool sends reach core, gateway, or plugin delivery so opt-in message-tool rooms and proactive sends attach voice notes instead of leaking raw tags. Fixes #81598. Thanks @CG-Intelligence-Agent-Jack and @CoronovirusG10.
-- Messages/Codex: keep Codex direct/source chats on message-tool visible delivery by default while documenting and testing `messages.visibleReplies: "automatic"` as the old-mode opt-out; channel wildcard model overrides now apply to direct chats before harness delivery defaults.

-- Gateway/skills: preflight remote macOS skill-bin refreshes with a WebSocket connectivity check so stale node sessions skip quickly instead of logging slow `system.which` timeout warnings.
-- CLI/config: keep broken discovered plugins that are not referenced by active config from failing `openclaw config validate`, while preserving fatal errors for explicitly configured plugin entries.
-- GitHub Copilot: drop unsafe native Responses reasoning replay items with non-replayable IDs before dispatch, preventing affected Copilot sessions from failing with `invalid_request_body`. Fixes #83220. Thanks @galiniliev.
-- Agents/Codex: fail closed when an explicitly requested Codex harness is not registered instead of silently trying configured model fallbacks. Fixes #83349. Thanks @r2-vibes.
-- QA-Lab: make runtime tool coverage fail on missing required tool exercise instead of treating pass/pass parity envelope drift as missing coverage.
-- Core/plugins: harden clawpatch-reported edge cases across gateway auth cleanup, Claude session id paths, plugin activation policy, apply-patch hunk handling, diagnostic redaction, and plugin metadata validation.
-- UI: show reasoning choices as plain labels instead of leaking internal override wording in session and chat pickers.

-- CLI/help: keep `gateway`, `doctor`, `status`, and `health` help registration out of action/runtime imports so subcommand `--help` stays lightweight in constrained terminals. Fixes #83228. Thanks @dfguerrerom.
-- CLI/help: show plugin-owned command help based on the active memory slot so LanceDB memory users see `ltm` instead of unavailable `memory` commands. Fixes #83745. (#83841) Thanks @joshavant.
-- Cron/Discord: keep explicit announce runs in message-tool-only source-reply mode so scheduled agent turns post once instead of also echoing through automatic visible replies. Fixes #83261. Thanks @Theralley.

 - Agents/OpenAI streams: yield via `setTimeout(0)` instead of `setImmediate` between bursty Responses chunks so abort timers can fire during the yield, keeping cancel-on-timeout responsive on hot streams. Refs #82462.
-- Agents/Codex: keep legacy `oauthRef`-backed OAuth profiles usable while `openclaw doctor --fix` migrates them back to inline credentials, without creating new sidecar credentials. (#83312) Thanks @joshavant.
-- Agents/Codex: load the selected provider owner alongside the Codex harness runtime so `openai-codex` models resolve when plugin allowlists scope runtime loading. Fixes #83380. (#83519) Thanks @joshavant.

 - 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.

-- Photo library access is also removed from the Play build. Use third-party builds for `photos.latest`.

 Current OpenClaw Android implication:
