-description: Run Blacksmith Testbox for CI-parity checks, secrets, hosted services, migrations, or builds local cannot reproduce.
----
-
-# Blacksmith Testbox
-
-## Scope
-
-Use Testbox when you need remote CI parity, injected secrets, hosted services,
-or an OS/runtime image that your local machine cannot provide cheaply.
-
-For OpenClaw, Crabbox is a supported alternative when Blacksmith is unavailable
-or owned cloud capacity is preferable.
-
-Do not default to Testbox for every local test/build loop. If the repo has
-documented local commands for normal iteration, use those first so you keep
-warm caches, local build state, and fast feedback.
-
-Testbox is the expensive path. Reach for it deliberately.
-
-OpenClaw maintainers can opt into Testbox-first validation by setting
-`OPENCLAW_TESTBOX=1` in their environment or standing agent rules. This mode is
-maintainers-only and requires Blacksmith access.
-
-When `OPENCLAW_TESTBOX=1` is set in OpenClaw:
-
-- Pre-warm a Testbox early for longer, wider, or uncertain work.
-- Prefer Testbox for `pnpm` gates, e2e, package-like proof, and broad suites.
-- Reuse the same Testbox ID for every run command in the same task/session.
-- Use local commands only when the task explicitly sets
-  `OPENCLAW_LOCAL_CHECK_MODE=throttled|full`, or when the user asks for local
-  proof.
-
-## Install the CLI
-
-If `blacksmith` is not installed, install it:
-
-    curl -fsSL https://get.blacksmith.sh | sh
-
-For the canary channel (bleeding-edge):
-
-    BLACKSMITH_CHANNEL=canary sh -c 'curl -fsSL https://get.blacksmith.sh | sh'
-
-Then authenticate:
-
-    blacksmith auth login
-
-## Agent-triggered browser auth (non-interactive)
-
-When an agent needs to ensure the user is authenticated before running testbox
-commands (e.g. warmup, run), use browser-based auth with non-interactive mode.
-This opens the browser for the user to sign in; the agent does not interact with
-the browser. The org selector in the dashboard is skipped, so the user only sees
-the sign-in flow.
-
-**Required command** (`--organization` is required with `--non-interactive`):
-
-    blacksmith auth login --non-interactive --organization <org-slug>
-
-The org slug can come from `BLACKSMITH_ORG` env var or the `--org` global flag.
-If neither is set, the agent should use the project's known org (e.g. from repo
-config or user context). Example:
-
-    blacksmith auth login --non-interactive --organization acme-corp
-    blacksmith --org acme-corp auth login --non-interactive --organization acme-corp
-
-**Flow**: The CLI starts a local callback server, opens the browser to the
-dashboard auth page, and blocks for up to 2 minutes. The user completes sign-in
-and authorization in the browser. The dashboard redirects to localhost with the
-token; the CLI saves credentials and exits. The agent then proceeds.
-
-**Do not use** `--api-token` for this flow — that is for headless/token-based
-auth. This skill focuses on browser-based auth when the user prefers signing in
-via the web UI.
-
-Optional flags:
-
-- `--dashboard-url <url>` — Override dashboard URL (e.g. for staging)
-
-## Decide first: local or Testbox
-
-Before warming anything up, check the repo's own instructions.
-
-Prefer local commands when:
-
-- the repo documents a supported local test/build workflow
-- you are iterating on unit tests, lint, typecheck, formatting, or other
-  local-only validation
-- the value comes from warm local caches and fast repeat runs
-- the command does not need remote secrets, hosted services, or CI-only images
-
-Prefer Testbox when:
-
-- the repo explicitly requires CI-parity or remote validation
-- the command needs secrets, service containers, or provisioned infra
-- you are reproducing CI-only failures
-- you need the exact workflow image/job environment from GitHub Actions
-
-For OpenClaw specifically, normal local iteration stays local unless maintainer
-Testbox mode is enabled with `OPENCLAW_TESTBOX=1`:
-
-- `pnpm check:changed`
-- `pnpm test:changed`
-- `pnpm test <path-or-filter>`
-- `pnpm test:serial`
-- `pnpm build`
-
-If `OPENCLAW_TESTBOX=1` is enabled, run those same repo commands inside the
-warm Testbox. If the user wants laptop-friendly local proof for one command, use
-the explicit escape hatch `OPENCLAW_LOCAL_CHECK_MODE=throttled`.
-
-For installable-package product proof, prefer the GitHub `Package Acceptance`
-workflow over an ad hoc Testbox command. It resolves one package candidate
-(`source=npm`, `source=ref`, `source=url`, or `source=artifact`), uploads it as
-`package-under-test`, and runs the reusable Docker E2E lanes against that exact
-tarball on GitHub/Blacksmith runners. Use `workflow_ref` for the trusted
-workflow/harness code and `package_ref` for the source ref to pack when testing
-an older trusted branch, tag, or SHA.
-
-## Setup: Warmup before coding
-
-If you decided Testbox is warranted, warm one up early. This returns an ID
-instantly and boots the CI environment in the background while you work:
-
-    blacksmith testbox warmup ci-check-testbox.yml
-    # → tbx_01jkz5b3t9...
-
-Save this ID in the current session. You need it for every `run` command.
-Treat `blacksmith testbox list` as diagnostics, not a reusable work queue.
-Listed boxes can be visible at the org/repo level while still being unusable or
-stale for the current local agent lane.
-
-For OpenClaw maintainer Testbox mode, pre-warm at the start of longer or wider
-tasks:
-
-    blacksmith testbox warmup ci-check-testbox.yml --ref main --idle-timeout 90
-    pnpm testbox:claim --id <ID>
-
-Use the build-artifact warmup when e2e/package/build proof benefits from seeded
-`dist/`, `dist-runtime/`, and build-all caches:
-
-    blacksmith testbox warmup ci-build-artifacts-testbox.yml --ref main --idle-timeout 90
-    pnpm testbox:claim --id <ID>
-
-Warmup dispatches a GitHub Actions workflow that provisions a VM with the
-full CI environment: dependencies installed, services started, secrets
-injected, and a clean checkout of the repo at the default branch.
-
-In OpenClaw, raw commit SHAs are not reliable dispatch refs for `warmup --ref`;
-use a branch or tag. The build-artifact workflow resolves `openclaw@beta` and
-`openclaw@latest` to SHA cache keys internally.
-
-Options:
-
-    --ref <branch|tag>     Git ref to dispatch against (default: repo's default branch)
-    --job <name>           Specific job within the workflow (if it has multiple)
-    --idle-timeout <min>   Idle timeout in minutes (default: 30)
-
-## CRITICAL: Always run from the repo root
-
-ALWAYS invoke `blacksmith testbox` commands from the **root of the git
-repository**. The CLI syncs the current working directory to the testbox
-using rsync with `--delete`. If you run from a subdirectory (e.g.
-`cd backend && blacksmith testbox run ...`), rsync will mirror only that
-subdirectory and **delete everything else** on the testbox — wiping other
-directories like `dashboard/`, `cli/`, etc.
-
-    # CORRECT — run from repo root, use paths in the command
-    blacksmith testbox run --id <ID> "cd backend && php artisan test"
-    blacksmith testbox run --id <ID> "cd dashboard && npm test"
-
-    # WRONG — do NOT cd into a subdirectory before invoking the CLI
-    cd backend && blacksmith testbox run --id <ID> "php artisan test"
-
-If your shell is in a subdirectory, `cd` back to the repo root first:
-
-    cd "$(git rev-parse --show-toplevel)"
-    blacksmith testbox run --id <ID> "cd backend && php artisan test"
-
-## Running commands
-
-    blacksmith testbox run --id <ID> "<command>"
-
-The `run` command automatically waits for the testbox to become ready if
-it is still booting, so you can call `run` immediately after warmup without
-needing to check status first.
-
-In OpenClaw, prefer the guarded runner wrapper so stale/reused ids fail before
-the Blacksmith CLI spends time syncing or emits a confusing missing-key error:
-
-    pnpm testbox:run --id <ID> -- "OPENCLAW_TESTBOX=1 pnpm check:changed"
-
-The wrapper refuses to run when the local per-Testbox key is missing or when the
-id was not claimed by this OpenClaw checkout with `pnpm testbox:claim --id
-<ID>`. Treat that as the expected remediation, not as a GitHub account or
-normal SSH-key problem. A local key alone is not enough; a ready box may still
-carry stale rsync state from another lane.
-
-If the agent crashes, the remote box relies on Blacksmith's idle timeout. The
-local OpenClaw claim marker is not deleted automatically, so the wrapper treats
-claims older than 12 hours as stale. Override only for intentional long-running
-work with `OPENCLAW_TESTBOX_CLAIM_TTL_MINUTES=<minutes>`.
-
-Before spending a broad gate on a manually assembled command, you can also run:
-
-    pnpm testbox:sanity -- --id <ID>
-
-## Downloading files from a testbox
-
-Use the `download` command to retrieve files or directories from a running
-testbox to your local machine. This is useful for fetching build artifacts,
-test results, coverage reports, or any output generated on the testbox.
-
-    blacksmith testbox download --id <ID> <remote-path> [local-path]
-
-The remote path is relative to the testbox working directory (same as `run`).
-If no local path is specified, the file is saved to the current directory
-using the same base name.
-
-To download a directory, append a trailing `/` to the remote path — this
-triggers recursive mode:
-
-    # Download a single file
-    blacksmith testbox download --id <ID> coverage/report.html
-
-    # Download a file to a specific local path
-    blacksmith testbox download --id <ID> build/output.tar.gz ./output.tar.gz
-
-    # Download an entire directory
-    blacksmith testbox download --id <ID> test-results/ ./results/
-
-Options:
-
-    --ssh-private-key <path>   Path to SSH private key (if warmup used --ssh-public-key)
-
-## How file sync works
-
-Understanding this model is critical for using Testbox correctly.
-
-When you call `run`, the CLI performs a **delta sync** of your local changes
-to the remote testbox before executing your command:
-
-1. The testbox VM starts from a clean `actions/checkout` at the warmup ref.
-   The workflow's setup steps (e.g. `npm install`, `pip install`, `composer install`)
-   run during warmup and populate dependency directories on the remote VM.
-
-2. On each `run`, the CLI uses **git** to detect which files changed locally
-   since the last sync. It syncs ONLY tracked files and untracked non-ignored
-   files (i.e. files that `git ls-files` reports).
-
-3. **`.gitignore`'d directories are never synced.** This means directories
-   like `node_modules/`, `vendor/`, `.venv/`, `build/`, `dist/`, etc. are
-   NOT transferred from your local machine. The testbox uses its own copies
-   of those directories, populated during the warmup workflow steps.
-
-4. If nothing has changed since the last sync (same git commit and working
-   tree state), the sync is skipped entirely for speed.
-
-### Why this matters
-
-- **Changing dependencies**: If you modify `package.json`, `requirements.txt`,
-  `composer.json`, `go.mod`, or similar dependency manifests, the lock/manifest
-  file will be synced but the actual dependency directory will NOT. You must
-  re-run the install command on the testbox:
-
-      blacksmith testbox run --id <ID> "npm install && npm test"
-      blacksmith testbox run --id <ID> "pip install -r requirements.txt && pytest"
-      blacksmith testbox run --id <ID> "composer install && phpunit"
-
-- **Generated/build artifacts**: If your tests depend on a build step (e.g.
-  `npm run build`, `make`), and you changed source files that affect the build
-  output, re-run the build on the testbox before testing.
-
-- **New untracked files**: New files you create locally ARE synced (as long as
-  they are not gitignored). You do not need to `git add` them first.
-
-- **Deleted files**: Files you delete locally are also deleted on the remote
-  testbox. The sync model keeps the remote in lockstep with your local managed
-  file set.
-
-## CRITICAL: Do not ban local tests
-
-Do not assume local validation is forbidden. Many repos intentionally invest in
-fast, warm local loops, and forcing every run through Testbox destroys that
-advantage.
-
-Use Testbox for the checks that actually need it: remote parity, secrets,
-services, CI-only runners, or reproducibility against the workflow image.
-
-If the repo says local tests/builds are the normal path, follow the repo.
-
-OpenClaw maintainer exception: if `OPENCLAW_TESTBOX=1` is set by the user or
-agent environment, treat Testbox as the normal validation path for this repo.
-Use `OPENCLAW_LOCAL_CHECK_MODE=throttled|full` as the explicit local escape
-hatch.
-
-## When to use
-
-Use Testbox when:
-
-- running database migrations or destructive environment checks
-- running commands that depend on secrets or environment variables not present locally
-- reproducing CI-only failures or validating against the workflow image
-- validating behavior that needs provisioned services or remote runners
-- doing a final parity check before commit/push when the repo or user wants that
-
-Trim that list based on repo guidance. If the repo documents supported local
-tests/builds, prefer local for routine iteration and keep Testbox for the
-checks that need parity or remote state.
-
-## Workflow
-
-1. Decide whether the repo's local loop is the right default. For OpenClaw,
-   `OPENCLAW_TESTBOX=1` makes Testbox the maintainer default.
-2. If Testbox is warranted, warm up early:
-   `blacksmith testbox warmup ci-check-testbox.yml --ref main --idle-timeout 90` → save the ID,
-   then `pnpm testbox:claim --id <ID>`
-3. Write code while the testbox boots in the background.
-4. Run the remote command when needed:
-   `pnpm testbox:run --id <ID> -- "OPENCLAW_TESTBOX=1 pnpm check:changed"`
-5. If tests fail, fix code and re-run against the same warm box.
-6. If you changed dependency manifests (package.json, etc.), prepend
-   the install command: `blacksmith testbox run --id <ID> "npm install && npm test"`
-7. If a narrow PR reports a full sync or the box was reused/expired, sanity
-   check the remote copy before a slow gate:
-   `pnpm testbox:run --id <ID> -- "pnpm testbox:sanity"`.
-   If it reports missing root files or mass tracked deletions, stop the box and
-   warm a fresh one. Use `OPENCLAW_TESTBOX_ALLOW_MASS_DELETIONS=1` only for an
-   intentional large deletion PR.
-8. If you need artifacts (coverage reports, build outputs, etc.), download them:
-   `blacksmith testbox download --id <ID> coverage/ ./coverage/`
-9. Once green, commit and push.
-
-## OpenClaw full test suite
-
-For OpenClaw, use the repo package manager and the measured stable full-suite
-profile below. It keeps six Vitest project shards active while limiting each
-shard to one worker to avoid worker OOMs on Testbox:
-
-    blacksmith testbox run --id <ID> "env NODE_OPTIONS=--max-old-space-size=4096 OPENCLAW_TEST_PROJECTS_PARALLEL=6 OPENCLAW_VITEST_MAX_WORKERS=1 pnpm test"
-
-Observed full-suite time on Blacksmith Testbox is about 3-4 minutes:
-
-- 173-180s on a warmed box
-- 219s on a fresh 32-vCPU box
-
-When validating before commit/push in maintainer Testbox mode, run
-`pnpm check:changed` inside the warmed box first when appropriate, then the full
-suite with the profile above if broad confidence is needed.
-
-Run `pnpm testbox:sanity` inside the warmed box before the broad command when
-the sync looks suspicious. It checks that root files such as `pnpm-lock.yaml`
-still exist and fails on 200 or more tracked deletions. That catches stale or
-corrupted rsync state before dependency install or Vitest failures hide the real
-problem.
-
-## Examples
-
-    blacksmith testbox warmup ci-check-testbox.yml
-    # → tbx_01jkz5b3t9...
-
-    # Run tests
-    blacksmith testbox run --id <ID> "npm test -- --testPathPattern=handler.test"
-    blacksmith testbox run --id <ID> "go test ./pkg/api/... -run TestHandler -v"
-    blacksmith testbox run --id <ID> "python -m pytest tests/test_api.py -k test_auth"
-
-    # Re-install deps after changing package.json, then test
-    blacksmith testbox run --id <ID> "npm install && npm test"
-
-    # Build and test
-    blacksmith testbox run --id <ID> "npm run build && npm test"
-
-    # Download artifacts from the testbox
-    blacksmith testbox download --id <ID> coverage/lcov-report/ ./coverage/
-    blacksmith testbox download --id <ID> build/output.tar.gz
-
-## Waiting for the testbox to be ready
-
-The `run` command automatically waits for the testbox, so explicit waiting is
-usually unnecessary. If you do need to check readiness separately (e.g. before
-a series of runs), use the `--wait` flag. Do NOT use a sleep-and-recheck loop.
-
-Correct: block until ready with a timeout:
-
-    blacksmith testbox status --id <ID> --wait [--wait-timeout 5m]
-
-Wrong: never use sleep + status in a loop:
-
-    # BAD — do not do this
-    sleep 30 && blacksmith testbox status --id <ID>
-    while ! blacksmith testbox status --id <ID> | grep ready; do sleep 5; done
-
-`--wait` polls the status and exits as soon as the testbox is ready (or when the
-timeout is reached). Default timeout is 5m; use `--wait-timeout` for longer
-(e.g. `10m`, `1h`).
-
-## Managing testboxes
-
-    # Check status of a specific testbox
-    blacksmith testbox status --id <ID>
-
-    # List all active testboxes for the current repo
-    blacksmith testbox list
-
-    # Stop a testbox when you're done (frees resources)
-    blacksmith testbox stop --id <ID>
-
-Testboxes automatically shut down after being idle (default: 30 minutes).
-If you need a longer session, increase the timeout at warmup time. For OpenClaw
-maintainer work, use 90 minutes for long-running sessions:
-
-    blacksmith testbox warmup ci-check-testbox.yml --idle-timeout 90
-    blacksmith testbox warmup ci-build-artifacts-testbox.yml --idle-timeout 90
-
-## With options
-
-    blacksmith testbox warmup ci-check-testbox.yml --ref main
-    blacksmith testbox warmup ci-check-testbox.yml --idle-timeout 90
-    blacksmith testbox run --id <ID> "go test ./..."

 # Crabbox
 
-Use Crabbox when OpenClaw needs remote Linux proof on owned capacity, a large
-runner class, reusable warm state, or a Blacksmith alternative.
+Use Crabbox when OpenClaw needs remote Linux proof for broad tests, CI-parity
+checks, secrets, hosted services, Docker/E2E/package lanes, warmed reusable
+boxes, sync timing, logs/results, cache inspection, or lease cleanup.
 
-## Before Running
+Default backend: `blacksmith-testbox`. The separate `blacksmith-testbox` skill
+has been removed; this skill owns both the normal Crabbox path and the direct
+Blacksmith fallback playbook.
+
+## First Checks
 
 - Run from the repo root. Crabbox sync mirrors the current checkout.
-- Prefer local targeted tests for tight edit loops.
-- Prefer Blacksmith Testbox when the task explicitly asks for Blacksmith or a
-  Blacksmith-specific CI comparison.
-- Use Crabbox for broad OpenClaw gates when owned AWS/Hetzner capacity is the
-  right remote lane.
-- Check `.crabbox.yaml` for repo defaults before adding flags.
-- Sanity-check the selected binary before remote work. OpenClaw scripts prefer
-  `../crabbox/bin/crabbox` when present; the user PATH shim can be stale:
-  `command -v crabbox; ../crabbox/bin/crabbox --version; ../crabbox/bin/crabbox --help | sed -n '1,90p'`.
-- Install with `brew install openclaw/tap/crabbox`; auth is required before use:
-  `printf '%s' "$CRABBOX_COORDINATOR_TOKEN" | crabbox login --url https://crabbox.openclaw.ai --provider aws --token-stdin`.
-- On macOS the user config is `~/Library/Application Support/crabbox/config.yaml`;
-  it must include `broker.url`, `broker.token`, and usually `provider: aws`.
-
-## OpenClaw Flow
-
-AWS/owned-capacity flow for `pnpm` tests:
+- Check the wrapper and providers before remote work:
 
 ```sh
-pnpm crabbox:warmup -- --idle-timeout 90m
-pnpm crabbox:warmup -- --provider aws --class beast --market on-demand --idle-timeout 90m
-pnpm crabbox:hydrate -- --id <cbx_id-or-slug>
-pnpm crabbox:run -- --id <cbx_id-or-slug> --timing-json --shell -- "env NODE_OPTIONS=--max-old-space-size=4096 OPENCLAW_TEST_PROJECTS_PARALLEL=6 OPENCLAW_VITEST_MAX_WORKERS=1 OPENCLAW_VITEST_NO_OUTPUT_TIMEOUT_MS=900000 pnpm test:changed"
+command -v crabbox
+../crabbox/bin/crabbox --version
+pnpm crabbox:run -- --help | sed -n '1,120p'
 ```
 
-Blacksmith-backed Crabbox flow can delegate setup to the Testbox workflow:
+- OpenClaw scripts prefer `../crabbox/bin/crabbox` when present. The user PATH
+  shim can be stale.
+- Check `.crabbox.yaml` for repo defaults, but override provider explicitly.
+  Even if config still says AWS, maintainer validation should normally pass
+  `--provider blacksmith-testbox`.
+- Prefer local targeted tests for tight edit loops. Broad gates belong remote.
+
+## macOS And Windows Targets
+
+Use these only when the task needs an existing non-Linux host. OpenClaw broad
+validation still defaults to `blacksmith-testbox`.
+
+Crabbox supports static SSH targets:
 
 ```sh
-pnpm crabbox:run -- --provider blacksmith-testbox --blacksmith-org openclaw --blacksmith-workflow .github/workflows/ci-check-testbox.yml --blacksmith-job check --blacksmith-ref main --idle-timeout 90m --timing-json --shell -- "env NODE_OPTIONS=--max-old-space-size=4096 OPENCLAW_TEST_PROJECTS_PARALLEL=6 OPENCLAW_VITEST_MAX_WORKERS=1 OPENCLAW_VITEST_NO_OUTPUT_TIMEOUT_MS=900000 pnpm test:changed"
+../crabbox/bin/crabbox run --provider ssh --target macos --static-host mac-studio.local -- xcodebuild test
+../crabbox/bin/crabbox run --provider ssh --target windows --windows-mode normal --static-host win-dev.local -- pwsh -NoProfile -Command "dotnet test"
+../crabbox/bin/crabbox run --provider ssh --target windows --windows-mode wsl2 --static-host win-dev.local -- pnpm test
+```
+
+- `target=macos` and `target=windows --windows-mode wsl2` use the POSIX SSH,
+  bash, Git, rsync, and tar contract.
+- Native Windows uses OpenSSH, PowerShell, Git, and tar; sync is manifest tar
+  archive transfer into `static.workRoot`.
+- `crabbox actions hydrate/register` are Linux-only today; use plain
+  `crabbox run` loops for static macOS and Windows hosts.
+- Live proof needs a reachable, operator-managed SSH host. Without one, verify
+  with `../crabbox/bin/crabbox run --help`, config/flag tests, and the Crabbox
+  Go test suite.
+
+## Default Blacksmith Backend
+
+Use this for `pnpm check`, `pnpm check:changed`, `pnpm test`,
+`pnpm test:changed`, Docker/E2E/live/package gates, or anything likely to fan
+out across many Vitest projects.

+Changed gate:
+
+```sh

+
+Read the JSON summary. Useful fields:
+
+- `provider`: should be `blacksmith-testbox`
+- `leaseId`: `tbx_...`
+- `syncDelegated`: should be `true`
+- `commandMs` / `totalMs`
+- `exitCode`
+
+Crabbox should stop one-shot Blacksmith Testboxes automatically after the run.
+Verify cleanup when a run fails, is interrupted, or the command output is
+unclear:
+
+```sh
+blacksmith testbox list
+```
+
+## Reuse And Keepalive
+
+For most Blacksmith-backed Crabbox calls, one-shot is enough. Use reuse only
+when you need multiple manual commands on the same hydrated box.
+
+If Crabbox returns a reusable id or you intentionally keep a lease:
+
+```sh
+pnpm crabbox:run -- --provider blacksmith-testbox --id <tbx_id> --no-sync --timing-json --shell -- "pnpm test <path>"
 ```
 
 Stop boxes you created before handoff:
 
 ```sh
+pnpm crabbox:stop -- <id-or-slug>
+blacksmith testbox stop --id <tbx_id>
+```
+
+## If Crabbox Fails
+
+Keep the fallback narrow. First decide whether the failure is Crabbox itself,
+Blacksmith/Testbox, repo hydration, sync, or the test command.
+
+Fast checks:
+
+```sh
+command -v crabbox
+../crabbox/bin/crabbox --version
+crabbox run --provider blacksmith-testbox --help | sed -n '1,140p'
+command -v blacksmith
+blacksmith --version
+blacksmith testbox list
+```
+
+Common Crabbox-only failures:
+
+- Provider missing or old CLI: use `../crabbox/bin/crabbox` from the sibling
+  repo, or update/install Crabbox before retrying.
+- Bad local config: pass `--provider blacksmith-testbox` plus explicit
+  `--blacksmith-*` flags instead of relying on `.crabbox.yaml`.
+- Slug/claim confusion: use the raw `tbx_...` id, or run one-shot without
+  `--id`.
+- Sync/timing bug: add `--debug --timing-json`; capture the final JSON and the
+  printed Actions URL.
+- Cleanup uncertainty: run `blacksmith testbox list` and stop only boxes you
+  created.
+
+If Crabbox cannot dispatch, sync, attach, or stop but Blacksmith itself works,
+use direct Blacksmith from the repo root:
+
+```sh
+blacksmith testbox warmup ci-check-testbox.yml --ref main --idle-timeout 90
+blacksmith testbox run --id <tbx_id> "env CI=1 NODE_OPTIONS=--max-old-space-size=4096 OPENCLAW_TEST_PROJECTS_PARALLEL=6 OPENCLAW_VITEST_MAX_WORKERS=1 OPENCLAW_VITEST_NO_OUTPUT_TIMEOUT_MS=900000 pnpm test:changed"
+blacksmith testbox stop --id <tbx_id>
+```
+
+Direct full suite:
+
+```sh
+blacksmith testbox run --id <tbx_id> "env CI=1 NODE_OPTIONS=--max-old-space-size=4096 OPENCLAW_TEST_PROJECTS_PARALLEL=6 OPENCLAW_VITEST_MAX_WORKERS=1 OPENCLAW_VITEST_NO_OUTPUT_TIMEOUT_MS=900000 pnpm test"
+```
+
+Auth fallback, only when `blacksmith` says auth is missing:
+
+```sh
+blacksmith auth login --non-interactive --organization openclaw
+```
+
+Raw Blacksmith footguns:
+
+- Run from repo root. The CLI syncs the current directory.
+- Save the returned `tbx_...` id in the session.
+- Reuse that id for focused reruns; stop it before handoff.
+- Raw commit SHAs are not reliable `warmup --ref` refs; use a branch or tag.
+- Treat `blacksmith testbox list` as cleanup diagnostics, not a shared reusable
+  queue.
+
+Escalate to owned AWS/Hetzner only when Blacksmith is down, quota-limited,
+missing the needed environment, or owned capacity is the explicit goal. Use the
+Owned Cloud Fallback section below.
+
+## Blacksmith Backend Notes
+
+Crabbox Blacksmith backend delegates setup to:
+
+- org: `openclaw`
+- workflow: `.github/workflows/ci-check-testbox.yml`
+- job: `check`
+- ref: `main` unless testing a branch/tag intentionally
+
+The hydration workflow owns checkout, Node/pnpm setup, dependency install,
+secrets, ready marker, and keepalive. Crabbox owns dispatch, sync, SSH command
+execution, timing, logs/results, and cleanup.
+
+Minimal direct Blacksmith fallback, from repo root:
+
+```sh
+blacksmith testbox warmup ci-check-testbox.yml --ref main --idle-timeout 90
+blacksmith testbox run --id <tbx_id> "env CI=1 NODE_OPTIONS=--max-old-space-size=4096 OPENCLAW_TEST_PROJECTS_PARALLEL=6 OPENCLAW_VITEST_MAX_WORKERS=1 pnpm test:changed"
+blacksmith testbox stop --id <tbx_id>
+```
+
+Use direct Blacksmith only when Crabbox is the broken layer and Blacksmith
+itself still works. Prefer direct `blacksmith testbox list` for cleanup
+diagnostics, not as a reusable work queue.
+
+Important Blacksmith footguns:
+
+- Always run from repo root. The CLI syncs the current directory.
+- Raw commit SHAs are not reliable `warmup --ref` refs; use a branch or tag.
+- If auth is missing and browser auth is acceptable:
+
+```sh
+blacksmith auth login --non-interactive --organization openclaw
+```
+
+## Owned Cloud Fallback
+
+Use AWS/Hetzner only when Blacksmith is down, quota-limited, missing the needed
+environment, or owned capacity is explicitly the goal.
+
+```sh
+pnpm crabbox:warmup -- --provider aws --class beast --market on-demand --idle-timeout 90m
+pnpm crabbox:hydrate -- --id <cbx_id-or-slug>
+pnpm crabbox:run -- --id <cbx_id-or-slug> --timing-json --shell -- "env NODE_OPTIONS=--max-old-space-size=4096 OPENCLAW_TEST_PROJECTS_PARALLEL=6 OPENCLAW_VITEST_MAX_WORKERS=1 OPENCLAW_VITEST_NO_OUTPUT_TIMEOUT_MS=900000 pnpm test:changed"
 pnpm crabbox:stop -- <cbx_id-or-slug>
 ```
 
-## Useful Commands
+Install/auth for owned Crabbox if needed:
+
+```sh
+brew install openclaw/tap/crabbox
+printf '%s' "$CRABBOX_COORDINATOR_TOKEN" | crabbox login --url https://crabbox.openclaw.ai --provider aws --token-stdin
+```
+
+macOS config lives at:
+
+```text
+~/Library/Application Support/crabbox/config.yaml
+```
+
+It should include `broker.url`, `broker.token`, and usually `provider: aws`
+for owned-cloud lanes. Do not let that config override the OpenClaw default
+when Blacksmith proof is requested; pass `--provider blacksmith-testbox`.
+
+### Interactive Desktop / WebVNC
+
+For human WebVNC demos, keep the remote desktop visible and windowed. Do not
+fullscreen the remote browser or hide the XFCE panel/window chrome unless the
+explicit goal is video/capture output. After launch, verify a screenshot shows
+the desktop panel plus browser title bar. If Chrome is fullscreen, toggle it
+back with:
+

-## Hydration Boundary
+## Failure Triage
 
-`.github/workflows/crabbox-hydrate.yml` is repo-specific on purpose. It owns
-OpenClaw checkout, setup-node, pnpm setup, provider env hydration, ready marker,
-and keepalive. Crabbox owns runner registration, workflow dispatch, SSH sync,
-command execution, logs/results, local lease claims, and idle cleanup.
+- Crabbox cannot find provider: verify `../crabbox/bin/crabbox --help` lists
+  `blacksmith-testbox`; update Crabbox before falling back.
+- Hydration stuck or failed: open the printed GitHub Actions run URL and inspect
+  the hydration step.
+- Sync failed: rerun with `--debug`; check changed-file count and whether the
+  checkout is dirty.
+- Command failed: rerun only the failing shard/file first. Do not rerun a full
+  suite until the focused failure is understood.
+- Cleanup uncertain: `blacksmith testbox list`; stop owned `tbx_...` leases you
+  created.
+- Crabbox broken but Blacksmith works: use the direct Blacksmith fallback above,
+  then file/fix the Crabbox issue.
 
-Do not add OpenClaw-specific setup to Crabbox. Put repo setup in the hydration
-workflow and generic lease/sync behavior in Crabbox.
+## Boundary
 
-## Cleanup
-
-Crabbox has coordinator-owned idle expiry and local lease claims, so OpenClaw
-does not need a custom ledger. Default idle timeout is 30 minutes unless config
-or flags set a different value. Still stop boxes you created when done.
-If `crabbox list` prints `orphan=no-active-lease`, treat it as an operator
-review hint; do not delete `keep=true` machines without checking provider and
-coordinator state.
+Do not add OpenClaw-specific setup to Crabbox itself. Put repo setup in the
+hydration workflow and keep Crabbox generic around lease, sync, command
+execution, logs/results, timing, and cleanup.

 - The Windows same-guest update helper should write stage markers to its log before long steps like tgz download and `npm install -g` so the outer progress monitor does not sit on `waiting for first log line` during healthy but quiet installs.
 - Linux same-guest update verification should also export `HOME=/root`, pass `OPENAI_API_KEY` via `prlctl exec ... /usr/bin/env`, and use `openclaw agent --local`; the fresh Linux baseline does not rely on persisted gateway credentials.
 - The npm-update wrapper now prints per-lane progress from the nested log files. If a lane still looks stuck, inspect the nested logs in `runDir` first (`macos-fresh.log`, `windows-fresh.log`, `linux-fresh.log`, `macos-update.log`, `windows-update.log`, `linux-update.log`) instead of assuming the outer wrapper hung.
-- If the wrapper fails a lane, read the auto-dumped tail first, then the full nested lane log under `/tmp/openclaw-parallels-npm-update.*`.
+- Each run writes both `summary.json` and `summary.md`; read the markdown first for quick human triage, then the JSON/timings for automation.
+- For full beta validation after a tag is published, prefer one command:
+  - `timeout --foreground 150m pnpm test:parallels:npm-update -- --beta-validation beta3 --json`
+    This resolves `beta3` to the latest `*-beta.3` version, runs latest->that-version same-guest update coverage, and then runs fresh install smoke for that exact published target on the same selected OS matrix. Use `--platform macos|windows|linux` to narrow reruns.
+- For beta 4 npm validation with agent turns, the known-good shape is:
+  - `gtimeout --foreground 150m pnpm test:parallels:npm-update -- --beta-validation beta4 --model openai/gpt-5.4 --json`
+    Prefer the explicit `beta4` alias over `openclaw@beta` when validating a specific prerelease number; npm tags can move.
+- If the wrapper fails a lane, read the auto-dumped tail first, then the full nested lane log under `.artifacts/parallels/openclaw-parallels-npm-update.*`.
 - Current known macOS update-lane transport signature when the fallback is missing or bypassed: `Unable to authenticate the user. Make sure that the specified credentials are correct and try again.` Treat that as Parallels current-user authentication before blaming npm or OpenClaw.
+- A macOS packaged fresh install with global package directories or bundled files mode `0777` usually means the harness used the root `prlctl exec` fallback under a permissive umask. The POSIX guest transports should prepend `umask 022`; verify the phase preflight line before blaming npm.

+## Surface opener identity
+
+- For every reviewed, triaged, closed, or landed issue/PR, show the opener's human name when available, GitHub login, and account age.
+- Get the login from `gh issue view` / `gh pr view` (`author.login`), then fetch profile metadata once with `gh api users/<login> --jq '{login,name,created_at,type}'`.
+- Report account age as created date plus rough age, for example `Opened by Jane Doe (@jane, account created 2021-04-03, ~5y old)`.
+- Also show recent GitHub activity when it informs maintainer risk: OpenClaw PRs, issues, and commits in the last 12 months; for linked issue-fixing PRs, include both the PR author and issue opener when they differ.
+- Prefer the bundled helper for activity lookups:
+
+```bash
+.agents/skills/openclaw-pr-maintainer/scripts/github-activity.sh <login> [other-login...]
+.agents/skills/openclaw-pr-maintainer/scripts/github-activity.sh --global <login>
+```
+
+- The helper reports repo-local activity first and can fetch public GitHub contribution totals for the same window with `--global`.
+- The helper is intentionally cache-friendly for gitcrawl-backed `gh`: it rounds repo-local windows to the UTC day, rounds global contribution windows to the UTC hour, and counts PRs/issues from one paginated issues response before fetching commits separately. Prefer reusing the helper instead of hand-rolling several `gh api` loops.
+- Report activity compactly, for example `OpenClaw last 12mo: 4 PRs, 2 issues, 11 commits; GitHub public last 12mo: 86 commits, 9 PRs, 3 issues, 12 reviews`.
+- If `name` is empty, use the login only. If profile lookup is rate-limited or unavailable, say `account age unknown` rather than omitting the opener.
+- Use identity and activity as triage signal, not proof by itself: new, low-activity, or bot-like accounts can raise review caution, but code, repro, and CI evidence still decide.
+
+## Suppress top-maintainer items in issue triage
+
+When Peter asks for issue triage, hot issues, pressing bugs, Discord-correlated issues, or "what is still open", do not surface issues or PRs authored by top maintainers by default. He wants external/user-reported hot issues and external PRs, not maintainer-owned work queues.
+
+Suppress by default when the opener/author is one of:
+
+- `@vincentkoc`
+- `@Takhoffman`
+- `@gumadeiras`
+- `@obviyus`
+- `@shakkernerd`
+- `@mbelinky`
+- `@joshavant`
+- `@ngutman`
+- `@vignesh07`
+- `@huntharo`
+
+Also suppress lower-priority maintainer-owned noise from the broader keep/top-maintainer group unless it is directly relevant:
+
+- `@thewilloftheshadow`
+- `@onutc` / `@osolmaz`
+- `@jacobtomlinson`
+- `@tyler6204`
+- `@velvet-shark`
+- `@jalehman`
+- `@frankekn`
+- `@ImLukeF`
+- `@mcaxtr`
+
+Exceptions:
+
+- Show maintainer-authored items when Peter explicitly asks for maintainer PRs/issues, PR landing candidates, release-blocking maintainer work, or a specific PR/issue number.
+- Show a maintainer-authored item when it is the canonical fix for an external hot issue, but frame it as the fix path rather than as a user-facing issue candidate.
+- Do not close, label, or deprioritize solely because an item is maintainer-authored; this section only controls what appears in triage shortlists.
+
 ## Apply close and triage labels correctly
 
 - If an issue or PR matches an auto-close reason, apply the label and let `.github/workflows/auto-response.yml` handle the comment/close/lock flow.
 - Do not manually close plus manually comment for these reasons.
+- If an issue/PR is already fixed on current `main` or solved by a new release, comment with proof plus the canonical commit/PR/release, then close it.
 - `r:*` labels can be used on both issues and PRs.
 - Current reasons:
   - `r: skill`

+- Validate with `pnpm openclaw qa whatsapp --credential-source convex --credential-role maintainer --provider-mode mock-openai` and preserve artifact paths plus redacted pass/fail summaries.

 ## Unreleased
 
-### Highlights
-
-- Plugins/file-transfer: add bundled file-transfer plugin with `file_fetch`, `dir_list`, `dir_fetch`, and `file_write` agent tools for binary file ops on paired nodes; default-deny per-node path policy under `plugins.entries.file-transfer.config.nodes` with operator approval, symlink traversal refused by default (opt-in `followSymlinks`), and a 16 MB byte ceiling per round-trip. (#74742) Thanks @omarshahine.
-
 ### Changes
 
-- Plugins/onboarding: let Manual setup install optional official plugins, including ClawHub-backed diagnostics with npm fallback, and expose the external Codex plugin as a selectable provider setup choice. Thanks @vincentkoc.
-- Plugins/CLI: include package dependency install state in `openclaw plugins list --json` so scripts can spot missing plugin dependencies without runtime-loading plugins.
-- Discord/status: add degraded Discord transport and gateway event-loop starvation signals to `openclaw channels status`, `openclaw status --deep`, and fetch-timeout logs so intermittent socket resets do not look like a healthy running channel. (#76327) Thanks @joshavant.
-- Plugins/update: on the beta OpenClaw update channel, default-line npm and ClawHub plugin updates try `@beta` first and fall back to default/latest when no plugin beta release exists.
+- PR triage: mark external pull requests with `proof: supplied` when Barnacle finds structured real behavior proof, keep stale negative proof labels in sync across CRLF-edited PR bodies, and let ClawSweeper own the stronger `proof: sufficient` judgement.
+- Sessions CLI: show the selected agent runtime in the `openclaw sessions` table so terminal output matches the runtime visibility already present in JSON/status surfaces. Thanks @vincentkoc.
+- Google Meet/Voice Call: make Twilio dial-in joins speak through the realtime Gemini voice bridge with paced audio streaming, backpressure-aware buffering, barge-in queue clearing, same-session agent consult routing, duplicate-consult coalescing, and no TwiML fallback during realtime speech, giving Meet participants a much snappier OpenClaw voice agent. (#77064) Thanks @scoootscooob.
+- Voice Call/realtime: add opt-in OpenClaw agent voice context capsules and consult-cadence guidance so Gemini/OpenAI realtime calls can sound like the configured agent without consulting the full agent on every ordinary turn. Thanks @scoootscooob.
+- Docker/Gateway: harden the gateway container by dropping `NET_RAW` and `NET_ADMIN` capabilities and enabling `no-new-privileges` in the bundled `docker-compose.yml`. Thanks @VintageAyu.
+- Telegram: accept plugin-owned numeric forum-topic targets in the agent message tool and keep reply-dispatch provider chunks behind a real stable runtime alias during in-place package updates. Fixes #77137. Thanks @richardmqq.
+- Telegram/streaming: keep draft preview rotation from reusing a pre-tool assistant preview after visible tool or media output lands between compaction replay and the next assistant message. Thanks @vincentkoc.
 - Channels/WhatsApp: support explicit WhatsApp Channel/Newsletter `@newsletter` outbound message targets with channel session metadata instead of DM routing. Fixes #13417; carries forward the narrow outbound target idea from #13424. Thanks @vincentkoc and @agentz-manfred.
+- TTS/telephony: honor provider voice/model overrides in telephony synthesis providers so Google Meet agent speech logs match the backend that actually produced the audio. Thanks @vincentkoc.
+- Voice Call/realtime: bound the paced Twilio audio queue and close overloaded realtime streams before provider audio can pile up behind the websocket backpressure guard. Thanks @vincentkoc.
+- Google Meet: preserve `realtime.introMessage: ""` so realtime Chrome joins can stay silent instead of restoring the default spoken intro. Thanks @vincentkoc.
+- CLI/migrate: add bulk on/off and skip controls to interactive Codex skill migration, leaving conflicting skill copies unchecked by default. (#77597) Thanks @kevinslin.
+- OpenAI/Codex media: advertise Codex audio transcription in runtime and manifest metadata and route active Codex chat models to the OpenAI transcription default instead of sending chat model ids to audio transcription. Thanks @vincentkoc.
+- Models/auth: add `openclaw models auth list [--provider <id>] [--json]` so users can inspect saved per-agent auth profiles without dumping secrets or hitting the old “too many arguments” path. Thanks @vincentkoc.
+- Cron CLI: add `openclaw cron list --agent <id>`, normalize the requested agent id, and include jobs without a stored agent id under the configured default agent while keeping `cron list` unfiltered when no agent is supplied. Fixes #77118. Thanks @zhanggttry.
+- Status: show compact Gateway process uptime and host system uptime in `/status`, making restart and host-lifetime checks visible from chat. Thanks @vincentkoc.
+- Discord/status: add degraded Discord transport and gateway event-loop starvation signals to `openclaw channels status`, `openclaw status --deep`, and fetch-timeout logs so intermittent socket resets do not look like a healthy running channel. (#76327) Thanks @joshavant.
+- Gateway/Windows: bind the default loopback gateway listener only to `127.0.0.1` on Windows so libuv's dual-stack `::1` behavior cannot wedge localhost HTTP requests. (#69701, fixes #69674) Thanks @SARAMALI15792.
+- Slack/streaming: add `streaming.progress.render: "rich"` for Block Kit progress drafts backed by structured progress line data.
+- Slack/streaming: keep the newest rich progress lines when Block Kit limits trim long progress drafts. Thanks @vincentkoc.
+- Channels/streaming: cap progress-draft tool lines by default so edited progress boxes avoid jumpy reflow from long wrapped lines.
+- Control UI/chat: add an agent-first filter to the chat session picker, keep chat controls/composer responsive across phone/tablet/desktop widths, keep desktop chat controls on one row, avoid duplicate avatar refreshes during initial chat load, and hide that row while scrolling down the transcript. Thanks @BunsDev.
+- Control UI/chat: collapse consecutive duplicate text messages into one bubble with a count so repeated text-only messages stay compact without hiding nearby context.
+- Agents/subagents: preserve every grouped child result when direct completion fallback has to bypass the requester-agent announce turn. Thanks @vincentkoc.
+- TTS/telephony: honor provider voice/model overrides in telephony synthesis providers so Google Meet agent speech logs match the backend that actually produced the audio. Thanks @vincentkoc.
+- Voice Call/realtime: bound the paced Twilio audio queue and close overloaded realtime streams before provider audio can pile up behind the websocket backpressure guard. Thanks @vincentkoc.
+- Docs: clarify that IRC uses raw TCP/TLS sockets outside operator-managed forward proxy routing, so direct IRC egress should be explicitly approved before enabling IRC. Thanks @jesse-merhi.
+- Gateway/performance: defer non-readiness sidecars until after the ready signal, avoid hot-path channel plugin barrel imports, and fast-path trusted bundled plugin metadata during Gateway startup.
+- Gateway/performance: avoid importing `jiti` on native-loadable plugin startup paths, so compiled bundled plugin surfaces do not pay source-transform loader cost unless fallback loading is actually needed.
+- Gateway/diagnostics: add startup phase spans, active work labels, stale terminal bridge markers, and default sync-I/O tracing in `pnpm gateway:watch` so slow Gateway turns are easier to attribute from logs and stability diagnostics.
+- Plugins/loader: preserve real compiled plugin module evaluation errors on the native fast path instead of treating every thrown `.js` module as a source-transform fallback miss. Thanks @vincentkoc.
+- QA/Mantis: add `pnpm openclaw qa mantis slack-desktop-smoke` to run Slack live QA inside a Crabbox VNC desktop, open Slack Web, and capture desktop screenshots beside the Slack QA artifacts.
+- QA/Mantis: add an opt-in Discord thread attachment before/after scenario that creates a real thread, calls `message.thread-reply` with `filePath`, and captures baseline/candidate screenshot evidence.
+- Discord: preserve `filePath` and `path` attachments when replying to a thread with the message tool.
+- QA/Mantis: add visual desktop tasks with Crabbox MP4 recording, screenshot capture, and optional image-understanding assertions, and preserve video artifacts in Mantis before/after reports.
+- QA/WhatsApp: add `pnpm openclaw qa whatsapp` for live DM canary and pairing-gate coverage using two pre-linked WhatsApp Web sessions from the QA credential pool.
+- QA/Mantis: pass the runtime env through desktop-browser Crabbox and artifact-copy child commands, so embedded Mantis callers can provide Crabbox credentials without mutating the parent process. Thanks @vincentkoc.
+- QA/Mantis: return the copied Slack desktop screenshot path even when remote Slack QA fails, so the CLI still prints the failure screenshot artifact. Thanks @vincentkoc.
+- QA/Mantis: accept Blacksmith Testbox `tbx_...` lease ids from desktop smoke warmup, so provider overrides do not fail before inspect/run. Thanks @vincentkoc.
+- QA/Codex harness: add targeted live Docker/Testbox diagnostics, auth preflight checks, cache mount fixes, and app-server protocol checkout discovery so maintainer harness failures are easier to reproduce. Thanks @vincentkoc.
+- Control UI/cron: make the New Job sidebar collapsible so the jobs list can reclaim space while keeping the form one click away. Thanks @BunsDev.
+- Control UI/header: show the active agent name in dashboard breadcrumbs without adding the current session key, keeping non-chat views oriented without crowding the topbar.
+- Plugins/migration: emit catalog-backed install hints when `plugins.entries` or `plugins.allow` references an official external plugin that is not installed, so upgraded configs point operators to `openclaw plugins install <spec>` instead of telling them to remove valid plugin config. (#77483) Thanks @hclsys.
+- Plugins/ClawHub: annotate 429 errors from ClawHub with the reset window from `RateLimit-Reset`/`Retry-After` and append a `Sign in for higher rate limits.` hint when the request was unauthenticated, so users can see when downloads will recover and how to lift the cap. Thanks @romneyda.
+- Secrets/external channel contracts: also look in `<rootDir>/dist/` when resolving the `secret-contract-api` sidecar, so npm-published externalized channel plugins (e.g. `@openclaw/discord` since 2026.5.2) whose compiled artifacts live under `dist/` actually contribute their channel SecretRef contracts to the runtime snapshot. Without this, env-backed `channels.discord.token` SecretRefs silently failed to resolve at gateway start on 2026.5.3, leaving the channel `not configured` even though #76449 had landed the generic external-contract loader. Thanks @mogglemoss.
+- Secrets/apply: preserve auth-profile `keyRef` and `tokenRef` fields when scrubbing provider-target secrets, so the canonical SecretRef metadata survives `secrets apply` without keeping plaintext values. Thanks @Beandon13.
+- Config/plugin auto-enable: prefer the claiming plugin manifest id over a built-in channel alias when auto-allowlisting a configured channel, so WeCom/Yuanbao-style aliases resolve to the installed plugin id. Thanks @Beandon13.
+- Plugins/update: treat official externalized bundled npm migrations and ClawHub-to-npm fallbacks as trusted source-linked installs, so prerelease-only official plugin packages can migrate from bundled builds without being rejected as unsafe prerelease resolutions. Thanks @vincentkoc.
+- Plugins/update: move ClawHub-preferred externalized plugin installs back to ClawHub after an earlier npm fallback once the ClawHub package becomes available. Thanks @vincentkoc.
+- Plugins/update: clean stale bundled load paths for already-externalized pinned npm and ClawHub plugin installs, so release-channel sync does not leave removed bundled paths ahead of the installed external package. Thanks @vincentkoc.
+- Plugins/update: make package upgrades swap pnpm/npm-prefix installs cleanly, keep legacy plugin install runtime chunks working, and on the beta channel fall back default-line npm plugins to default/latest when plugin beta releases are missing or fail install validation. Thanks @vincentkoc and @joshavant.
+- Plugins/active-memory: skip session-store channel entries that contain `:` when resolving the recall subagent's channel, so QQ c2c agent IDs (e.g. `c2c:10D4F7C2…`) and other scoped conversation IDs do not reach bundled-plugin `dirName` validation and crash the recall run. The same guard already applied to explicit `channelId` params (#76704); this extends it to store-derived channels. (#77396) Thanks @hclsys.
+- Sandbox/Windows: accept drive-absolute Docker bind sources while keeping sandbox blocked-path and allowed-root policy comparisons Windows-case-insensitive. (#42174) Thanks @6607changchun.
+- Plugin SDK: add `openclaw/plugin-sdk/channel-message` lifecycle helpers for `defineChannelMessageAdapter`, `deliverInboundReplyWithMessageSendContext`, send/receive/live/state contracts, durable final-delivery capability derivation, capability proof helpers, and normalized message receipts.
+- Plugin SDK: add `createChannelMessageAdapterFromOutbound` so channel plugins can derive durable message adapters from proven outbound adapters without duplicating send/receipt bridge code.
+- Plugin SDK: add `actions.prepareSendPayload(...)` so channel plugins can shape message-tool sends into durable payloads while core owns queueing, hooks, retry, recovery, and acknowledgements.
+- Plugin SDK: make the legacy `channel-reply-pipeline` subpath a compatibility wrapper over the shared reply core while steering root compat deprecations toward `plugin-sdk/channel-message`.
+- Plugin SDK: move Discord, Slack, Mattermost, and Matrix live-preview finalization onto `plugin-sdk/channel-message` and attach message receipts to Telegram finalized previews plus Teams native stream finals, so preview edits and stream finals are represented in the message lifecycle instead of draft-only helpers.
+- Telegram: persist the polling restart watermark after successful update dispatch instead of at handler entry, leaving failed updates retryable while still coalescing completed offsets safely.
+- Agents/subagents: preserve every grouped child result when direct completion fallback has to bypass the requester-agent announce turn. Thanks @vincentkoc.
+- Agents/verbose: use compact explain-mode tool summaries for `/verbose` and progress drafts by default, with `agents.defaults.toolProgressDetail: "raw"` and per-agent overrides for debugging raw command/detail output.
+- Gateway/startup: keep model-catalog test helpers, run-session lookup code, QR pairing helpers, and TypeBox memory-tool schema construction out of hot startup import paths, reducing default gateway benchmark plugin-load and memory pressure.
+- Gateway/performance: defer non-readiness sidecars until after the ready signal, avoid hot-path channel plugin barrel imports, and fast-path trusted bundled plugin metadata during Gateway startup.
+- Gateway/performance: avoid importing `jiti` on native-loadable plugin startup paths, so compiled bundled plugin surfaces do not pay source-transform loader cost unless fallback loading is actually needed.
+- Plugins/loader: preserve real compiled plugin module evaluation errors on the native fast path instead of treating every thrown `.js` module as a source-transform fallback miss. Thanks @vincentkoc.
+- Providers/OpenRouter: add opt-in response caching params that send OpenRouter's `X-OpenRouter-Cache`, `X-OpenRouter-Cache-TTL`, and cache-clear headers only on verified OpenRouter routes. Thanks @vincentkoc.
+- Providers/OpenRouter: expand app-attribution categories so OpenClaw advertises coding, programming, writing, chat, and personal-agent usage on verified OpenRouter routes. Thanks @vincentkoc.
+- Agents/performance: pass the resolved workspace through BTW, compaction, embedded-run model generation, and PDF model setup so explicit agent-dir model refreshes can reuse the current workspace-scoped plugin metadata snapshot instead of falling back to cold plugin metadata scans. (#77519, #77532)
+- Plugins/performance: let unscoped model catalog and manifest-contract readers reuse the current workspace-compatible plugin metadata snapshot, avoiding repeated cold plugin metadata scans on hot control-plane paths while preserving env/config/workspace compatibility checks. (#77519, #77532)
+- Agents/sandbox: store sandbox container and browser registry entries as per-runtime shard files, reducing unrelated session lock contention while `openclaw doctor --fix` migrates legacy monolithic registry files. (#74831) Thanks @luckylhb90.
+- Plugins/runtime state: add `registerIfAbsent` for atomic keyed-store dedupe claims that return whether a plugin successfully claimed a key without overwriting an existing live value. Thanks @amknight.
 - Exec approvals: add a tree-sitter-backed shell command explainer for future approval and command-review surfaces. (#75004) Thanks @jesse-merhi.
+- Control UI/performance: record browser long animation frame or long task entries in the debug event log when supported, making slow dashboard renders easier to attribute from the UI.
+- Gateway/diagnostics: add startup phase spans, active work labels, stale terminal bridge markers, and default sync-I/O tracing in `pnpm gateway:watch` so slow Gateway turns are easier to attribute from logs and stability diagnostics.
+- QA/Codex harness: add targeted live Docker/Testbox diagnostics, auth preflight checks, cache mount fixes, and app-server protocol checkout discovery so maintainer harness failures are easier to reproduce. Thanks @vincentkoc.
+- QA/Mantis: add `pnpm openclaw qa mantis slack-desktop-smoke` to run Slack live QA inside a Crabbox VNC desktop, open Slack Web, and capture desktop screenshots beside the Slack QA artifacts.
+- QA/Mantis: add visual desktop tasks with Crabbox MP4 recording, screenshot capture, and optional image-understanding assertions, and preserve video artifacts in Mantis before/after reports.
+- QA/Mantis: reuse Crabbox desktop/browser capture tooling and pnpm store caches during Slack desktop smoke runs, reducing per-scenario setup work before screenshots and videos are captured.
+- QA/Mantis: add Slack desktop hydrate modes and per-phase timing reports so warm prehydrated VNC leases can skip source install/build while cold runs still prove the full source checkout.
+- QA/Mantis: pass the runtime env through desktop-browser Crabbox and artifact-copy child commands, so embedded Mantis callers can provide Crabbox credentials without mutating the parent process. Thanks @vincentkoc.
+- QA/Mantis: return the copied Slack desktop screenshot path even when remote Slack QA fails, so the CLI still prints the failure screenshot artifact. Thanks @vincentkoc.
+- QA/Mantis: accept Blacksmith Testbox `tbx_...` lease ids from desktop smoke warmup, so provider overrides do not fail before inspect/run. Thanks @vincentkoc.
+- Plugins/SDK: add bounded `before_agent_finalize` retry instructions so workflow plugins can request one more model pass. Thanks @100yenadmin.
+- Plugin SDK: add plugin-owned `SessionEntry` slot projection and scoped trusted-policy session extension reads. (#75609; replaces part of #73384/#74483) Thanks @100yenadmin.
+- Docs: clarify that IRC uses raw TCP/TLS sockets outside operator-managed forward proxy routing, so direct IRC egress should be explicitly approved before enabling IRC. Thanks @jesse-merhi.
+- Dependencies: refresh runtime and provider packages including Pi 0.73.0, ACPX adapters, OpenAI, Anthropic, Slack, and TypeScript native preview, while keeping the Bedrock runtime installer override pinned below the Windows ARM Node 24 npm resolver failure.
+- Contributor PRs: require external pull requests to include after-fix real behavior proof from a real OpenClaw setup, with terminal screenshots, console output, redacted runtime logs, linked artifacts, and copied live output treated as valid evidence while unit tests, mocks, lint, typechecks, snapshots, and CI remain supplemental only.
+- Plugins/catalog: add an `@tencent-weixin/openclaw-weixin` external entry pinned to `2.4.1` so onboarding and `openclaw channels add` can install the Tencent Weixin (personal WeChat) channel by default. (#77269) Thanks @pumpkinxing1.
+- Developer tooling: add checked-in VS Code Gateway debugging configs and an opt-in `OUTPUT_SOURCE_MAPS=1` source-map build path for breakpoints in TypeScript source. (#45710) Thanks @SwissArmyBud.
 
 ### Fixes
 
+- Plugins/diagnostics: make source-only TypeScript package warnings actionable by explaining that missing compiled runtime output is a publisher packaging issue and pointing users to update/reinstall or disable/uninstall the plugin. Fixes #77835. Thanks @googlerest.
+- TUI: skip the generic CLI respawn wrapper for interactive launches, exit cleanly on terminal loss, and refuse to restore heartbeat sessions as the remembered chat session, preventing stale heartbeat history and orphaned `openclaw-tui` processes on first boot. Thanks @vincentkoc.
+- Doctor/sessions: move heartbeat-poisoned default main session store entries to recovery keys and clear stale TUI restore pointers, so `doctor --fix` can repair instances already stuck on `agent:main:main` heartbeat history. Thanks @vincentkoc.
+- Agents/context engines: keep hidden OpenClaw runtime-context custom messages out of context-engine assemble, afterTurn, and ingest hooks so transcript reconstruction plugins only see conversation messages. Thanks @vincentkoc.
+- Gateway/shutdown: cancel delayed post-ready maintenance during close and suppress maintenance/cron startup after quick restarts, preventing orphaned background timers. Thanks @vincentkoc.
+- Agents/generated media: treat attachment-style message tool actions as completed chat sends, preventing duplicate fallback media posts when generated files were already uploaded.
+- Control UI/sessions: show each session's agent runtime in the Sessions table and allow filtering by runtime labels, matching the Agents panel runtime wording. Thanks @vincentkoc.
+- Discord/streaming: show live reasoning text in progress drafts instead of a bare `Reasoning` status line.
+- Gateway/status: avoid marking fast repeated health/status samples as event-loop degraded from CPU/utilization alone until the Gateway has accumulated a sustained sampling window. Thanks @shakkernerd.
+- Plugins/update: keep installed official npm and ClawHub plugins such as Codex, Discord, WhatsApp, and diagnostics plugins synced during host updates even when disabled or previously exact-pinned, while preserving third-party plugin pins. Thanks @vincentkoc.
+- Doctor/status: warn when `OPENCLAW_GATEWAY_TOKEN` would shadow a different active `gateway.auth.token` source for local CLI commands, while avoiding false positives when config points at the same env token. Fixes #74271. Thanks @yelog.
+- Gateway/HTTP: avoid loading managed outgoing-image media handlers for unrelated requests, so disabled OpenAI-compatible routes return 404 without waiting on lazy media sidecars. Thanks @vincentkoc.
+- Gateway/OpenAI-compatible: send the assistant role SSE chunk as soon as streaming chat-completion headers are accepted, so cold agent setup cannot leave `/v1/chat/completions` clients with a bodyless 200 response until their idle timeout fires.
+- Agents/media: avoid direct generated-media completion fallback while the announce-agent run is still pending, so async video and music completions do not duplicate raw media messages. (#77754)
+- WebChat/Codex media: stage Codex app-server generated local images into managed media before Gateway display, so Codex-home image paths no longer hit `LocalMediaAccessError` while keeping Codex home out of the display allowlist. Thanks @frankekn.
+- TUI/sessions: bound the session picker to recent rows and use exact lookup-style refreshes for the active session, so dusty stores no longer make TUI hydrate weeks-old transcripts before becoming responsive. Thanks @vincentkoc.
+- Doctor/gateway: report recent supervisor restart handoffs in `openclaw doctor --deep`, using the installed service environment when available so service-managed clean exits are visible in guided diagnostics. Thanks @shakkernerd.
+- Gateway/status: show recent supervisor restart handoffs in `openclaw gateway status --deep`, including JSON details, so clean service-managed restarts are reported as restart handoffs instead of opaque stopped-service diagnostics. Thanks @shakkernerd.
+- Providers/Fireworks: expose Kimi models as thinking-off-only and keep K2.5/K2.6 requests on `thinking: disabled`, so manual model switches do not send Fireworks-rejected `reasoning*` parameters. Refs #74289. Thanks @frankekn.
+- WhatsApp responsiveness: stop only verified stale local TUI clients when they degrade the Gateway event loop and delay replies. Thanks @vincentkoc.
+- Hooks/session-memory: add collision suffixes to fallback memory filenames so repeated `/new` or `/reset` captures in the same minute do not overwrite the earlier session archive. Thanks @vincentkoc.
+- Agents/config: remove the ambiguous legacy `main` agent dir helper from runtime paths; model, auth, gateway, bundled plugin, and test helpers now resolve default/session agent dirs through `agents.list`/agent-scope helpers while plugin SDK keeps a deprecated compatibility export.
+- CLI/status: show the selected agent runtime/harness in `openclaw status` session rows so terminal status matches the `/status` runtime line. Thanks @vincentkoc.
+- CLI/sessions: prune old unreferenced transcript, compaction checkpoint, and trajectory artifacts during normal `sessions cleanup`, so gateway restart or crash orphans do not accumulate indefinitely outside `sessions.json`. Fixes #77608. Thanks @slideshow-dingo.
+- Doctor/Codex: repair legacy `openai-codex/*` routes in primary models, fallbacks, heartbeat/subagent/compaction overrides, hooks, channel overrides, and stale session pins to canonical `openai/*`, selecting `agentRuntime.id: "codex"` only when the Codex plugin is installed, enabled, contributes the `codex` harness, and has usable OAuth; otherwise select `agentRuntime.id: "pi"`. Thanks @vincentkoc.
+- Video generation: wait up to 20 minutes for slow fal/MiniMax queue-backed jobs, stop forwarding unsupported Google Veo generated-audio options, and normalize MiniMax `720P` requests to its supported `768P` resolution with the usual override warning/details instead of failing fallback.
+- Video generation: accept provider-specific aspect-ratio and resolution hints at the tool boundary, normalize `720P` to MiniMax's supported `768P`, and stop sending Google `generateAudio` on Gemini video requests so provider fallback can recover from model-specific parameter differences. Thanks @vincentkoc.
+- Channels/durable delivery: preserve channel-specific final reply semantics when using durable sends, including Telegram selected quotes and silent error replies plus WhatsApp message-sending cancellations.
+- Channels/message lifecycle: build legacy channel delivery results from message receipts and add receipts to BlueBubbles, Feishu, Google Chat, iMessage, IRC, LINE, Nextcloud Talk, QQ Bot, Signal, Synology Chat, Tlon, Twitch, WhatsApp, Zalo, and Zalo Personal send results and owner-path reply delivery plus Discord, Matrix, Mattermost, Slack, and Teams send results while preserving existing message id compatibility.
+- iMessage: run durable final replies through the iMessage outbound sanitizer before sending, matching direct auto-reply delivery and preventing assistant-internal scaffolding from leaking through queued delivery.
+- OpenAI/Google Meet: fail realtime voice connection attempts when the socket closes before `session.updated`, avoiding stuck Meet joins waiting on a bridge that never became ready. Thanks @vincentkoc.
+- Hooks/session-memory: run reset memory capture off the command reply path and make model-generated memory filename slugs opt-in with `llmSlug: true`, so `/new` and `/reset` no longer block WhatsApp and other message-channel reset replies on hook housekeeping or a nested model call. Thanks @vincentkoc.
+- CLI/plugins: handle closed stdin during `plugins uninstall` confirmation prompt and exit 1 with actionable `--force` guidance instead of crashing with Node exit 13 unsettled top-level await. Fixes #73562. (#73566) Thanks @ai-hpc.
+- CLI/channels: skip config, proxy, channel-option catalog, banner-config, and plugin startup bootstrap for the bare `openclaw channels` parent-help command, so it exits promptly after printing help instead of loading configured channel plugins. Thanks @vincentkoc.
+- CLI/gateway: pause non-TTY stdin after full CLI command completion and stop `openclaw agent` from falling back to embedded mode after gateway request/auth failures, so parent help commands exit cleanly and scoped delivery probes surface the real Gateway error immediately. Thanks @vincentkoc.
+- Gateway/model catalog: cache empty read-only model catalog results until reload, so TUI and control-plane refresh loops cannot hammer plugin metadata reads when no usable models are currently discovered. Thanks @vincentkoc.
+- CLI/update: make dev-channel preflight lint opt-in and constrained when enabled, so `openclaw update --channel dev` no longer walks back otherwise-good main commits when Ubuntu hosts OOM-kill or fail parallel oxlint shards. Thanks @vincentkoc.
+- Google Meet: fork the caller's current agent transcript into agent-mode meeting consultant sessions, so Meet replies inherit the context from the tool call that joined the meeting.
+- Google Meet: log the concrete agent-mode TTS provider, model, voice, output format, and sample rate after speech synthesis, so Meet logs show which voice backend spoke each reply.
+- Google Meet: log the resolved audio provider model when starting Chrome and paired-node Meet talk-back bridges, so agent-mode joins show the STT model and bidi joins show the realtime voice model.
+- Google Meet: stop advertising legacy `mode: "realtime"` to agents and config UIs, while keeping it as a hidden compatibility alias for `mode: "agent"`, so new joins use the STT -> OpenClaw agent -> TTS path instead of selecting the direct realtime voice fallback.
+- Google Meet: add `chrome.audioBufferBytes` for generated command-pair SoX audio commands and lower the default buffer from SoX's 8192 bytes to 4096 bytes to reduce Chrome talk-back latency.
+- Google Meet: split realtime provider config into agent-mode transcription and bidi-mode voice providers, and migrate legacy Gemini Live bidi configs with `doctor --fix`, so Gemini Live can back direct bidi fallback without breaking the default OpenClaw agent talk-back path.
+- Google Meet: keep waiting for the Meet microphone to unmute during join intro readiness instead of permanently skipping talk-back when Meet briefly reports the local mic as muted.
+- Google Meet: expose `voiceCall.postDtmfSpeechDelayMs` in the plugin manifest schema and setup hints, so manifest-based config editing accepts the runtime-supported Twilio delay key. Thanks @vincentkoc.
+- Google Meet: keep explicit non-Google `realtime.provider` values as the transcription provider compatibility fallback when `realtime.transcriptionProvider` is unset. Thanks @vincentkoc.
+- Google Meet: make Twilio setup status require an enabled `voice-call` plugin entry instead of treating a missing entry as ready. Thanks @vincentkoc.
+- Google Meet: avoid treating repeated participant words as multiple assistant-overlap matches when suppressing realtime echo transcripts. Thanks @vincentkoc.
+- Google Meet: make `mode: "agent"` the default Chrome talk-back path, using realtime transcription for input and regular OpenClaw TTS for speech output, while keeping direct realtime voice answers available as `mode: "bidi"` and accepting `mode: "realtime"` as an agent-mode compatibility alias.
+- Google Meet: make realtime talk-back agent-driven by default with `realtime.strategy: "agent"`, keep the previous direct bidirectional model behavior available as `realtime.strategy: "bidi"`, route the Meet tab speaker output to `BlackHole 2ch` automatically for local Chrome realtime joins, coalesce nearby speech transcript fragments before consulting the agent, and avoid cutting off agent speech from server VAD or stale playback pipe errors.
+- Google Meet: suppress queued assistant playback and assistant-like transcript echoes from the realtime input path, so the meeting does not hear the agent's own speech as a new user turn and loop or cut itself off.
+- Google Meet: keep Chrome realtime transport tests hermetic on Linux prerelease shards while preserving the macOS-only runtime guard. Thanks @vincentkoc.
+- Voice Call: mark realtime calls completed when the realtime provider closes normally, so Twilio/OpenAI/Google realtime stop events do not leave active call records behind. Thanks @vincentkoc.
+- Slack: keep health-monitor recovery stops from poisoning manual-stop state after channel stop timeouts, allowing Socket Mode accounts to reconnect after event-loop stalls instead of staying dead until Gateway restart. Fixes #77651. Thanks @Gusty3055.
+- Slack: report `unknown error` instead of `undefined` in socket-mode startup retry logs and label the retry reason explicitly.
+- Slack/mentions: record thread participation for successful visible threaded Slack sends, including message-tool and media delivery paths, so unmentioned replies in bot-participated threads can bypass mention gating as documented. Fixes #77648. Thanks @bek91.
+- Slack/subagents: keep resumed parent `message.send` calls in the originating Slack thread when ambient session thread context is present, and suppress successful silent child completion rows from follow-up findings. Thanks @bek91.
+- WhatsApp/onboarding: canonicalize setup and pairing allowlist entries to WhatsApp's digit-only phone ids while still accepting E.164, JID, and `whatsapp:` inputs, so personal-phone allowlists match WhatsApp Web sender ids after setup. Thanks @vincentkoc.
+- WhatsApp/login: route login success and failure messages through the injected runtime, so setup/onboarding surfaces capture all login output instead of only the QR. Thanks @vincentkoc.
+- Channels/WhatsApp: apply the shared group/channel visible-reply mode during inbound dispatch so group replies stay message-tool-only by default without overriding direct-chat harness defaults. Refs #75178 and #67394. Thanks @scoootscooob.
+- Telegram/media: derive no-caption inbound media placeholders from saved MIME metadata instead of the Telegram `photo` shape, so non-image and mixed attachments no longer reach the model as `<media:image>`. Fixes #69793. Thanks @aspalagin.
+- Telegram/streaming: reuse the active preview as the first chunk for long text finals, so multi-chunk replies no longer create a transient extra bubble that appears and then disappears. Thanks @vincentkoc.
+- Telegram/streaming: sanitize tool-progress draft preview backticks before shared compaction, so long backtick-heavy progress text still renders inside the safe code-formatted preview instead of collapsing to an ellipsis.
+- Telegram: clean up tool-only draft previews after assistant message boundaries so transient `Surfacing...` tool-status bubbles do not linger when no matching final preview arrives. Thanks @BunsDev.
+- Telegram: let explicit forum-topic `requireMention` settings override persisted `/activate` and `/deactivate` state, so per-topic mention gates work consistently. Fixes #49864. Thanks @Panniantong.
+- Telegram: keep reply-dispatch lazy provider runtime chunks behind stable dist names and delete `/reasoning stream` previews after final delivery so package updates and live reasoning drafts do not leave Telegram turns broken or noisy. Thanks @BunsDev.
+- Telegram: render shared interactive reply buttons in reply delivery so plugin approval messages show inline keyboards. (#76238) Thanks @keshavbotagent.
+- Telegram: deliver button-only interactive replies by sending the shared fallback button-label text with the inline keyboard instead of dropping the reply as empty. Thanks @vincentkoc.
+- Telegram: keep status checks pointed at the active chat so asking for the current session no longer reports an old direct-message conversation. (#76708) Thanks @amknight.
+- Media/Telegram: send in-limit original images when optional image optimization is unavailable, so Telegram MEDIA replies and message-tool image sends do not fail just because `sharp` is missing. Fixes #77081. (#77117) Thanks @pfrederiksen.
+- Discord/replies: treat failed final reply delivery as a failed turn instead of counting it as a delivered automatic visible reply, so guild/channel turns no longer show done when the final message was dropped. Fixes #77520. Thanks @Patrick-Erichsen.
+- Discord: prefer IPv4 for Discord REST and gateway WebSocket startup paths so IPv4-only networks no longer stall before Gateway READY and inbound message dispatch. Fixes #77398; refs #77526. Thanks @Beandon13.
+- Discord: clear stale startup probe bot/application status when the async bot probe throws, not just when it returns a degraded probe result. Thanks @vincentkoc.
+- Discord: start the gateway monitor without waiting for the startup bot/application probe, so WSL2 hosts with a slow `/users/@me` REST path still bring the channel online while status enrichment finishes asynchronously. Fixes #77103. Thanks @Suited78.
+- Discord/Gateway startup: retry Discord READY waits with backoff, defer startup `sessions.list` and native approval readiness failures until sidecars recover, and preserve component-only Discord payloads when final reply scrubbing removes all text. (#77478) Thanks @NikolaFC.
+- Webhooks/Gmail/Windows: resolve `gcloud`, `gog`, and `tailscale` PATH/PATHEXT shims before setup and watcher spawns, using the Windows-safe `.cmd` wrapper for long-lived `gog serve` processes. (#74881, fixes #54470) Thanks @Angfr95.
+- Infra/Windows: skip the POSIX `/tmp/openclaw` preferred path on Windows in `resolvePreferredOpenClawTmpDir` so log files, TTS temp files, and other writes land in `%TEMP%\openclaw-<uid>` instead of `C:\tmp\openclaw`. Fixes #60713. Thanks @juan-flores077.
+- Media/Windows: open saved attachment temp files read/write before fsync so Windows WebChat and `chat.send` media offloads no longer fail with EPERM during durability flush. (#76593) Thanks @qq230849622-a11y.
+- Plugins/Windows: show a Git install hint when npm plugin installation fails with `spawn git ENOENT`, and document the WhatsApp plugin's Git-on-PATH requirement for Baileys/libsignal installs.
+- Media/images: keep HEIC/HEIF attachments fail-closed when optional Sharp conversion is unavailable instead of sending originals that still need conversion. Thanks @vincentkoc.
+- Control UI/chat: suppress `HEARTBEAT_OK` acknowledgement history, streams, deltas, and final events before they enter the transcript view, so repeated heartbeat no-op turns do not stack noisy bubbles. Thanks @BunsDev.
+- Control UI/Talk: make failed Talk startup errors dismissable and clear the stale Talk error state when dismissed, so missing realtime voice provider configuration does not leave a permanent chat banner. Fixes #77071. Thanks @ijoshdavis.
+- Control UI/Talk: stop and clear failed realtime Talk sessions when dismissing runtime error banners, so the next Talk click starts a fresh session instead of only stopping the stale one. Thanks @vincentkoc.
+- Control UI/Talk: retry from a failed realtime Talk session on the next Talk click instead of requiring a separate stale-session stop click first. Thanks @vincentkoc.
+- Control UI/media: mint short-lived scoped tickets for assistant media fetches and render ticketed URLs instead of exposing long-lived auth tokens in chat image URLs. Fixes #70830 and #77097. Thanks @hclsys.
+- Control UI: keep Gateway Access inputs and locale picker contained inside the card at narrow and tablet widths.
+- Control UI: add explicit feedback for repeated actions by announcing session switches, flashing the active session selector, showing inline Save/Apply/Update progress, and distinguishing filtered-empty session lists from genuinely empty session stores. Thanks @BunsDev.
+- Control UI: point the Appearance tweakcn browse action and docs at the live tweakcn editor route instead of the removed `/themes` page. Fixes #77048.
+- Control UI: render Dream Diary prose through the sanitized markdown pipeline, so diary bold/italic/header markdown no longer appears as literal source text. Fixes #62413.
+- Control UI: render tool results whose output arrives as text-block arrays and give expanded tool output a scrollable block, so read/exec output remains visible in WebChat. Fixes #77054.
+- UI/chat: remove the unsupported `line-clamp` declaration from the chat queue text rule to eliminate Firefox console noise without changing visible truncation behavior. Thanks @ZanderH-code.
+- TUI/escape abort: track the in-flight runId after `chat.send` resolves so pressing Esc during the gap before the first gateway event aborts the run instead of repeatedly printing `no active run`. Fixes #1296. Thanks @Lukavyi and @romneyda.
+- TUI/render: stop the long-token sanitizer from injecting literal spaces inside inline code spans, fenced code blocks, table borders, and bare hyphenated/dotted identifiers, so copied package names, entity IDs, and shell line-continuations stay byte-for-byte intact while narrow-terminal protection still chunks unidentifiable long prose tokens. Fixes #48432, #39505. Thanks @DocOellerson, @xeusoc, @CCcassiusdjs, @akramcodez, @brokemac79, @romneyda.
+- iOS/mobile pairing: reject non-loopback `ws://` setup URLs before QR/setup-code issuance and let the iOS Gateway settings screen scan QR codes or paste full setup-code messages. Thanks @BunsDev.
+- Canvas host: preserve the Gateway TLS scheme in browser canvas host URLs and startup mount logs, so direct HTTPS gateways do not advertise insecure canvas links. Thanks @vincentkoc.
+- Model switching: include the exact additive allowlist repair command when `/model ... --runtime ...` targets a blocked model, and make Telegram's model picker say that it changes only the session model while leaving the runtime unchanged. Thanks @vincentkoc.
+- Mattermost: clarify that the model picker only changes the session model and that runtime switches require `/oc_model <provider/model> --runtime <runtime>`. Thanks @vincentkoc.
+- Mattermost: use the shared progress draft formatter for tool status previews, including raw command/detail output when `agents.defaults.toolProgressDetail: "raw"` is enabled. Thanks @vincentkoc.
+- Mattermost: suppress standalone default tool-progress messages while draft previews are active, including when draft tool lines are disabled. Thanks @vincentkoc.
+- Discord/Slack/Mattermost: align draft preview tool-progress config help with the runtime behavior that hides interim tool updates when `streaming.preview.toolProgress` is false. Thanks @vincentkoc.
+- Google Chat: create an isolated Google auth transport per auth client, so google-auth-library interceptor mutations do not accumulate across webhook verification and access-token clients. Thanks @vincentkoc.
+- Google Chat: normalize Google auth certificate response headers before google-auth-library reads cache-control, so inbound webhook auth no longer rejects with `res?.headers.get is not a function`. Fixes #76880. Thanks @donbowman.
+- Providers/DeepSeek: expose DeepSeek V4 `xhigh` and `max` thinking levels through the lightweight provider-policy surface, so Control UI `/think` pickers keep showing the max reasoning options when the runtime plugin registry is not active. Fixes #77139. Thanks @bittoby.
+- Providers/OpenRouter: keep DeepSeek V4 `reasoning_effort` on OpenRouter-supported values, mapping stale `max` thinking overrides to `xhigh` so `openrouter/deepseek/deepseek-v4-pro` no longer fails with OpenRouter's invalid-effort 400. Fixes #77350. (#77423) Thanks @krllagent, @mushuiyu886, and @sallyom.
+- Providers/OpenAI Codex: stop the OAuth progress spinner before showing the manual redirect paste prompt, so callback timeouts do not spam `Browser callback did not finish` across terminals.
+- Providers/OpenAI Codex: fail closed on malformed `/codex` control commands and diagnostics confirmations before changing bindings, permissions, model overrides, active turns, or feedback uploads. Thanks @vincentkoc.
+- Providers/OpenAI Codex: sanitize Codex app-server command readouts, failure replies, approval prompts, elicitation prompts, and `request_user_input` text before posting them back into chat. Thanks @vincentkoc.
+- Providers/OpenAI Codex: preserve local bound-turn image paths, reject stale same-thread turn notifications, enforce option-only user input prompts, and return failed dynamic tool results to Codex as unsuccessful tool calls. Thanks @vincentkoc.
+- OpenAI Codex: recreate missing bound app-server threads once when a stale `/codex bind` sidecar survives a restart, preserving the selected auth profile and turn overrides before retrying the inbound turn. (#76936) Thanks @keshavbotagent.
+- OpenAI Codex: honor `auth.order.openai-codex` when starting app-server clients without an explicit auth profile, so status/model probes and implicit startup use the configured Codex account instead of falling back to the default profile. Thanks @vincentkoc.
+- OpenAI Codex: let SSRF-guarded provider requests inherit OpenClaw's undici IPv4/IPv6 fallback policy, so ChatGPT-backed Codex runs recover on IPv4-working hosts when DNS still returns unreachable IPv6 addresses. Fixes #76857. Thanks @jplavoiemtl and @SymbolStar.
+- Auth/OpenAI Codex: rewrite invalidated per-agent Codex auth-order and session profile overrides toward a healthy relogin profile, so revoked OAuth accounts do not stay pinned after signing in again. Thanks @BunsDev.
+- Plugins/Codex: preserve Codex-native OAuth routing for `/codex bind` app-server turns so bound sessions keep the selected Codex auth profile instead of falling back to public OpenAI credentials. (#76714) Thanks @keshavbotagent.
+- Codex harness: preserve app-server usage-limit reset details and deliver OpenClaw-owned runtime failure notices through tool-only source-reply mode, so Telegram and other chat channels tell users when Codex subscription limits or API failures block a turn instead of going silent. (#77557) Thanks @pashpashpash.
+- Codex harness: keep `codex_app_server.*` telemetry publication owned by the harness instead of republishing the same callback event from core runners. Thanks @vincentkoc.
+- Codex plugin: mirror the experimental upstream app-server protocol and format generated TypeScript before drift checks, keeping OpenClaw's `experimentalApi` bridge compatible with latest Codex while preserving formatter gates.
+- Agents/OpenAI: default direct OpenAI Responses models to the SSE transport instead of WebSocket auto-selection, preventing pi runtime chat turns from hanging on servers where the WebSocket path stalls while the OpenAI HTTP stream works. Thanks @vincentkoc.
+- Claude CLI: honor non-off `/think` levels by passing Claude Code's session-scoped `--effort` flag through the CLI backend seam, so chat bridges no longer show an inert thinking control. Fixes #77303. Thanks @Petr1t.
+- Browser/SSRF: enforce the existing current-tab URL navigation policy before tab-scoped debug, export, and read routes (console, page errors, network requests, trace start/stop, response body, screenshot, snapshot, storage, etc.) collect from an already-selected tab, so blocked tabs return a policy error instead of being read first and redacted only at response time. (#75731) Thanks @eleqtrizit.
+- Browser: enforce strict SSRF current-URL checks before existing-session screenshots, matching existing-session snapshot handling. Thanks @vincentkoc.
+- fix(gateway): clamp unbound websocket auth scopes [AI]. (#77413) Thanks @pgondhi987.
+- fix(device-pair): require pairing scope for pair command [AI]. (#76377) Thanks @pgondhi987.
+- fix: harden backend message action gateway routing [AI]. (#76374) Thanks @pgondhi987.
+- Gate QQBot streaming command auth [AI]. (#76375) Thanks @pgondhi987.
+- fix(qqbot): keep private commands off framework surface [AI]. (#77212) Thanks @pgondhi987.
+- Gate zalouser startup name matching [AI]. (#77411) Thanks @pgondhi987.
+- QQBot: preserve the framework command authorization decision when converting framework command contexts into engine slash command contexts, so downstream slash handlers see `commandAuthorized` matching the channel's resolved `isAuthorizedSender` instead of a hardcoded `true`. (#77453) Thanks @drobison00.
+- Agents/cache: keep per-turn runtime context out of ordinary chat system prompts while still delivering hidden current-turn context, restoring prompt-cache reuse on chat continuations. Fixes #77431. Thanks @Udjin79.
+- Agents/tools: honor narrow runtime tool allowlists when constructing embedded-runner tool families and bundled MCP/LSP runtimes, so cron/subagent runs that request tools such as `update_plan`, `browser`, `x_search`, channel login tools, or `group:plugins` no longer start with missing tools or unrelated bootstrap work. (#77519, #77532)
+- Agents/Tools: add post-compaction loop guard in `pi-embedded-runner` that arms after auto-compaction-retry and aborts the run with `compaction_loop_persisted` when the agent emits the same `(tool, args, result)` triple `windowSize` times (default 3) within that window. Disable via existing `tools.loopDetection.enabled`; tune via `tools.loopDetection.postCompactionGuard.windowSize`. Targets the failure mode where context-overflow + compaction does not break a tool-call loop. Refs #77474; carries forward #21597. Thanks @efpiva.
+- Agents/tools: strip reasoning text from visible rich presentation titles, blocks, buttons, and select labels before message-tool sends, so structured channel payloads cannot leak hidden planning. Thanks @vincentkoc.
+- Agents/tools: use config-only runtime snapshots for plugin tool registration and live runtime config getters, avoiding expensive full secrets snapshot clones on the core-plugin-tools prep path. Fixes #76295.
+- Agents/tools: honor the effective tool denylist before constructing optional PDF/media tool factories, so `tools.deny: ["pdf"]` skips PDF setup before later policy filtering. Fixes #76997.
+- Agents/skills: require exact `<location>` skill paths for both single-skill and multi-skill prompt selection, so agents do not guess or hard-code skill file paths. (#74161) Thanks @lanzhi-lee.
+- Agents/skills: rebuild sandboxed non-rw run skill prompts from the sandbox workspace copy, so `<available_skills>` no longer points at host-only `~/.openclaw/skills` paths. Fixes #50590. Thanks @kidroca and @sallyom.
+- Agents/media: avoid sending generated image, video, and music attachments twice when streamed reply text arrives before the final `MEDIA:` directive.
+- Agents/media: tell async music and video completion agents when normal final replies are private, and send completion fallbacks directly to message-tool-only group/channel routes when the completion agent still only writes a private final reply, so generated media does not disappear behind the delivery contract.
+- Agents/media: route async music and video completion results back through the requester agent, preserving automatic replies while requiring the message tool only for message-tool-only group/channel delivery.
+- Agents/subagents: refresh deferred final-delivery payloads when same-session completion output changes, so retried parent notifications use the final child summary instead of stale progress text. Thanks @vincentkoc.
+- Agents/subagents: detect prefix-only completion announce replies and fall back to the captured child result so requester chats no longer lose most of long sub-agent reports silently. Fixes #76412. Thanks @inxaos and @davemorin.
+- Active Memory: give timeout partial transcript recovery enough abort-settle headroom so temporary recall summaries are returned before cleanup. Thanks @vincentkoc.
+- Active Memory: send a bounded latest-message search query to the recall worker so channel/runtime metadata does not become the memory search string. Fixes #65309. Thanks @joeykrug, @westley3601, @pimenov, and @tasi333.
+- active-memory: skip the memory sub-agent gracefully instead of logging a confusing allowlist error when no memory plugin (`memory-core` or `memory-lancedb`) is loaded, so active-memory with no memory backend no longer produces misleading "No callable tools remain" warnings in the gateway log. Fixes #77506. Thanks @hclsys.
+- Memory/wiki: preserve representation from both corpora in `corpus=all` searches while backfilling unused result capacity, so memory hits are not starved by numerically higher wiki integer scores. Fixes #77337. Thanks @hclsys.
+- Plugin skills: publish plugin-declared skills through the generated plugin skills directory (`~/.openclaw/plugin-skills/`) while keeping direct prompt loading intact, so agent file-based discovery paths find plugin skill `SKILL.md` files and inactive plugin links are cleaned up. Fixes #77296. (#77328) Thanks @zhangguiping-xydt.
+- Plugins/install: honor the beta update channel for onboarding and doctor-managed plugin installs by requesting floating npm and ClawHub specs with `@beta` while keeping persistent install records on the catalog default. Thanks @vincentkoc.
+- Plugins/install: remove the previous managed plugin directory when a reinstall switches sources, so stale ClawHub and npm copies no longer keep duplicate plugin ids in discovery after the new install wins. Thanks @vincentkoc.
+- Plugins/install: let official plugin reinstall recovery repair source-only installed runtime shadows, so `openclaw plugins install npm:@openclaw/discord --force` can replace the bad package instead of stopping at stale config validation. Thanks @vincentkoc.
+- Plugins/install: suppress dangerous-pattern scanner warnings for trusted official OpenClaw npm installs, so installing `@openclaw/discord` no longer prints credential-harvesting warnings for the official package. Thanks @vincentkoc.
+- Plugins/update: repair missing plugin-local `openclaw` peer links before skipping unchanged npm plugin updates, so current external Codex installs can recover `openclaw/plugin-sdk/*` resolution during OTA repair. (#77544) Thanks @ProspectOre.
+- Plugins/update: treat OpenClaw CalVer correction versions like `2026.5.3-1` as satisfying base plugin API ranges, so correction builds can install plugins that require the base runtime API. Fixes #77293. (#77450) Thanks @p3nchan.
+- Plugins/update: treat OpenClaw stable correction versions like `2026.5.3-1` as stable releases for npm installs, plugin updates, and bundled-version comparisons, so `latest` can advance official plugins without prerelease opt-in. Thanks @vincentkoc.
+- Plugins/commands: allow the official ClawHub Codex plugin package to keep reserved `/codex` command ownership, matching the existing npm-managed Codex package behavior. Thanks @vincentkoc.
+- Plugins/commands: scope QQBot framework slash commands to the QQBot channel so `/bot-*` command handlers and native specs do not leak onto unrelated chat surfaces. Thanks @vincentkoc.
+- Plugins/commands: suppress dangerous-pattern scanner warnings for trusted catalog npm installs from owner-gated `/plugins install` commands, so chat-driven installs match the CLI install trust path. Thanks @vincentkoc.
+- Plugins/discovery: ignore managed npm plugin packages that only expose TypeScript source entries without compiled runtime output, so stale/broken installs cannot hide a working bundled or reinstallable channel plugin during setup. Thanks @vincentkoc.
+- Plugins/discovery: demote the source-only TypeScript runtime check on already-installed `origin: "global"` plugin packages from a config-blocking error to a warning and let the runtime fall through to the TypeScript source via jiti, so a single broken installed package no longer blocks `plugins install` for unrelated plugins; install-time rejection of newly-installed source-only packages is unchanged. Thanks @romneyda.
+- Plugins/registry: recover managed-npm external plugins from the owned npm root when a stale persisted registry would otherwise hide them after package-manager upgrades. Fixes #77266. Thanks @p3nchan.
+- Plugins/providers: make bundled provider discovery honor restrictive `plugins.allow` by default for new configs, while doctor migrates legacy restrictive allowlist configs to `plugins.bundledDiscovery: "compat"` to preserve upgrade behavior. Thanks @dougbtv.
+- Plugins/security: ignore inline and block comments when matching source-rule context in plugin install scans, so comment-only `fetch`/`post` references near environment defaults do not block clean plugins. Thanks @vincentkoc.
+- Plugins/packages: reject inferred built runtime entries that exist but fail package-boundary checks instead of falling back to TypeScript source for installed packages. Thanks @vincentkoc.
+- Plugins/packages: reject blank `openclaw.runtimeExtensions` entries instead of silently ignoring them and falling back to inferred TypeScript runtime entries. Thanks @vincentkoc.
+- Plugins/loader: do not retry native-loaded JavaScript plugin modules through the source transformer after native evaluation has already reached a missing dependency, avoiding duplicate top-level side effects. Thanks @vincentkoc.
+- Plugins/loader: keep bundled plugin package `test-api.js` aliases behind private QA mode, so source transforms do not expose test-only public surfaces during normal plugin loading. Thanks @vincentkoc.
+- Plugins/runtime-deps: include `json5` in the memory-core plugin runtime dependency set so packaged `memory_search` sandboxes can resolve generated OpenClaw runtime chunks that parse JSON5 config. Fixes #77461.
+- Plugins/runtime state: keep the key being registered when namespace eviction runs in the same millisecond as existing entries, so `register` and `registerIfAbsent` do not report success while evicting their own fresh value. Thanks @vincentkoc.
+- Plugins/release: make the published npm runtime verifier reject blank `openclaw.runtimeExtensions` entries instead of treating them as absent and passing via inferred outputs. Thanks @vincentkoc.
+- Doctor/config: keep active `auth.profiles` metadata intact when `doctor --fix` strips stale secret fields from configs, repairing legacy `<provider>:default` API-key profile metadata when model fallbacks or explicit `model@profile` refs still depend on it. Fixes #77400.
+- Doctor/config: restore legacy group chat config migrations for `routing.allowFrom`, `routing.groupChat.*`, and `channels.telegram.requireMention` so upgrades keep WhatsApp, Telegram, and iMessage group mention gates and history settings instead of leaving configs invalid or silently blocked. Thanks @scoootscooob.
+- Doctor/plugins: include `plugins.allow`-only official plugin ids in the release configured-plugin repair set, so `doctor --fix` installs official external plugins that are configured but not yet loaded instead of removing them as stale allow entries. Fixes #77155. Thanks @hclsys.
+- Doctor/plugins: remove stale managed install records for bundled plugins even when the bundled plugin is not explicitly configured, so doctor cleanup cannot leave orphaned install metadata behind. Thanks @vincentkoc.
+- Doctor/plugins: remove stale managed npm plugin shadow entries from the managed package lock as well as `package.json` and `node_modules`, so future npm operations do not keep referencing repaired bundled-plugin shadows. Thanks @vincentkoc.
+- Doctor/plugins: remove orphaned or recovered managed npm copies of bundled `@openclaw/*` plugins during `doctor --fix`, so stale package manifests cannot shadow the current bundled plugin config schema.
+- Doctor/plugins: skip channel-derived official plugin installs when another configured plugin is the effective owner for the same channel, so `doctor --repair` does not reinstall `feishu` while `openclaw-lark` handles `channels.feishu`. Fixes #76623. Thanks @fuyizheng3120.
+- Doctor/plugins: do not treat `plugins.allow` entries as configured plugins during missing-plugin repair, so restrictive allowlists no longer install allowed-but-unused plugins. Thanks @vincentkoc.
+- Doctor/sessions: clear auto-created stale session routing state from the sessions store when `doctor --fix` sees plugin-owned model/runtime/auth/session bindings outside the current configured route, while leaving explicit user model choices for manual review. Refs #68615.
+- CLI/sessions: prune old unreferenced transcript, compaction checkpoint, and trajectory artifacts during normal `sessions cleanup`, so gateway restart or crash orphans do not accumulate indefinitely outside `sessions.json`. Fixes #77608. Thanks @slideshow-dingo.
+- CLI/sessions: cap `openclaw sessions` output to the newest 100 rows by default and add `--limit <n|all>` plus JSON pagination metadata, so repeated machine polling of large session stores cannot fan out into unbounded per-row enrichment/output work. Fixes #77500. Thanks @Kaotic3.
+- CLI/update: report corrupt or unloadable managed plugins as post-update warnings instead of disabling them or turning a successful OpenClaw package update into a failed update result. Thanks @vincentkoc and @Patrick-Erichsen.
+- CLI/update: use an absolute POSIX npm script shell during package-manager updates, so restricted PATH environments can still run dependency lifecycle scripts while updating from `--tag main`. Fixes #77530. Thanks @PeterTremonti.
+- CLI/update: make package-update follow-up processes write completion results and exit explicitly, so Windows packaged upgrades do not hang after the new package finishes post-core plugin work. Thanks @vincentkoc.
+- CLI/update: stage pnpm-detected npm-layout global package updates through a clean npm prefix swap, keep plugin install runtime imports behind a stable alias, and ship legacy install-runtime aliases back to `2026.3.22`, preventing stale overlay chunks from breaking plugin post-update sync. Thanks @vincentkoc.
+- CLI/update: treat OpenClaw stable correction versions like `2026.5.3-1` as newer than their base stable release, so package updates no longer ask for downgrade confirmation. Thanks @vincentkoc.
+- CLI/launcher: forward termination signals to compile-cache respawn children, so killing a wrapper process no longer leaves the security audit worker orphaned. Fixes #77458. Thanks @jaikharbanda.
+- Update/restart: probe managed Gateway restarts with the service environment and add a Docker product lane that exercises candidate-owned `openclaw update --yes --json` restarts, so SecretRef-backed local gateway auth cannot regress behind mocked restart checks. Thanks @vincentkoc.
+- Gateway/startup: load provider plugins that own explicitly configured image, video, or music generation defaults so generation tools become live after gateway restart instead of remaining catalog-only. Fixes #77244. Thanks @buyuangtampan, @Nikoxx99, and @vincentkoc.
+- Gateway/startup: include resolved thinking and fast-mode defaults in the `agent model` startup log line, defaulting unset startup thinking to `medium` without mixing in reasoning visibility.
+- Gateway/startup: log the canvas host mount only after the HTTP server has bound, so startup logs no longer report the canvas host as mounted before it can serve requests.
+- Gateway/startup: start cron and record the post-ready memory trace even when deferred maintenance timers fail after readiness, so a non-fatal timer setup issue does not silently leave scheduled jobs idle. Thanks @vincentkoc.
+- Gateway/update: resolve local gateway probe auth from the installed config during post-update restart verification, so token/device-authenticated VPS gateways are not misreported as unhealthy port conflicts after a package swap. Thanks @vincentkoc.
+- Gateway/update: keep the shutdown close path behind a stable runtime chunk and ship compatibility aliases for recent `server-close-*` hashes, so manual npm package replacement cannot leave an already-running Gateway unable to shut down cleanly. Fixes #77087. Thanks @westlife219.
+- Gateway/chat: clear the active reply-run guard before draining queued same-session follow-up turns, so sequential `chat.send` calls no longer trip `ReplyRunAlreadyActiveError` every other request. Fixes #77485. Thanks @bws14email.
+- Gateway/status: label Linux managed gateway services as `systemd user`, making status output explicit about the user-service scope instead of implying a system-level unit. Thanks @vincentkoc.
+- Gateway/sessions: memoize repeated thinking-option enrichment and skip unused cost fallback checks while listing sessions, reducing per-row work on large multi-agent stores. Fixes #76931.
+- Gateway/sessions: bound default `sessions.list` RPC responses and report truncation metadata, preventing Slack-heavy long-lived stores from forcing unbounded Gateway row construction. Fixes #77062.
+- Gateway/sessions: cache selected model override resolution while building session-list rows so `openclaw sessions` and Control UI session lists stay responsive on model-heavy stores. (#77650) Thanks @ragesaq.
+- Gateway/watch: suppress sync-I/O trace output during `pnpm gateway:watch --benchmark` unless explicitly requested, so CPU profiling no longer floods the terminal with stack traces.
+- Gateway/watch: when benchmark sync-I/O tracing is explicitly enabled, tee trace blocks to the benchmark output log and filter them from the terminal pane while keeping normal Gateway logs visible.
+- Gateway/diagnostics: make stuck-session recovery outcome-driven and generation-guarded, add `diagnostics.stuckSessionAbortMs`, and emit structured recovery requested/completed events so stale or skipped recovery no longer looks like a successful abort.
+- Gateway/validation: isolate gateway server validation files, ignore unrelated startup logs in request-trace coverage, and fail fast on stuck shared-auth sockets, reducing false main-branch CI failures for contributors. Thanks @amknight.
+- Gateway/install: keep `.env`-managed values in the macOS LaunchAgent env file while still tracking `OPENCLAW_SERVICE_MANAGED_ENV_KEYS`, so regenerated services do not boot without managed auth/provider keys. Fixes #75374.
+- Gateway/restart: verify listener PIDs by argv when `lsof` reports only the Node process name, so stale gateway cleanup can find macOS `cnode` listeners. Fixes #70664.
+- Gateway/logging: expand leading `~` in `logging.file` before creating the file logger, preventing startup crash loops for home-relative log paths. Fixes #73587.
+- Gateway/install: prefer supported system Node over nvm/fnm/volta/asdf/mise when regenerating managed gateway services, so `gateway install --force` no longer recreates service definitions that doctor immediately flags as version-manager-backed. Fixes #76339. Thanks @brokemac79 and @BunsDev.
+- Cron: surface failed isolated-run diagnostics in `cron show`, status, and run history when requested tools are unavailable, so blocked cron runs report the actual tool-policy failure instead of a misleading green result. Fixes #75763. Thanks @RyanSandoval.
+- Cron/sessions: keep cron metadata rows without an on-disk transcript non-resumable until a transcript exists, so doctor and `sessions cleanup --fix-missing` no longer report or prune pre-transcript cron rows as broken sessions. Refs #77011.
+- Docker/compose: pin container-side `OPENCLAW_CONFIG_DIR` and `OPENCLAW_WORKSPACE_DIR` on both gateway and CLI services so the host paths written into `.env` by `scripts/docker/setup.sh` (used as Compose bind-mount sources) cannot leak into runtime code via the `env_file` import. Fixes regressions on macOS Docker setups where the first agent reply died with `EACCES: permission denied, mkdir '/Users'` because the host-style workspace path got persisted into `agents.defaults.workspace`. Fixes #77436. Thanks @lonexreb.
+- Docker: prune package-excluded plugin dist directories from runtime images unless the build explicitly opts that plugin in, so official external plugins such as Feishu stay install-on-demand instead of shipping partial metadata without compiled runtime output. Fixes #77424. Thanks @vincentkoc.
+- Web search: honor late-bound `tools.web.search.enabled: false` during tool execution so config reloads cannot leave an already-created `web_search` tool runnable. Thanks @vincentkoc.
+- Web search: scope explicit bundled `web_search` provider runtime loading through manifest ownership, so selecting DuckDuckGo/Gemini/etc. does not import unrelated bundled providers or log their optional dependency failures. Thanks @vincentkoc.
+- Web search: keep first-class assistant `web_search` auto-detect and configured runtime providers visible when active runtime metadata or the active plugin registry is incomplete. Fixes #77073. Thanks @joeykrug.
+- Web fetch: scope provider fallback cache entries by the selected fetch provider so config reloads cannot reuse another provider's cached fallback payload. Thanks @vincentkoc.
+- Web fetch: late-bind `web_fetch` config and provider fallback metadata from the active runtime snapshot, matching `web_search` so long-lived tools do not use stale fetch provider settings. Thanks @vincentkoc.
+- Diagnostics: grant the internal diagnostics event bus to official installed diagnostics exporter plugins, so npm-installed `@openclaw/diagnostics-prometheus` can emit metrics without broadening the capability to arbitrary global plugins. Fixes #76628. Thanks @RayWoo.
+- Diagnostics: handle missing session-tail files in cron recovery context without tripping extension test typecheck. Thanks @vincentkoc.
+- Diagnostics: include last progress, cron job/run ids, stopped cron job name, and the last assistant transcript snippet in stalled-session and stuck-session recovery logs so cron stalls show what was stopped.
+- Diagnostics: keep webhook/message OTEL attributes and Prometheus delivery labels low-cardinality and omit raw chat/message IDs from spans, so progress-draft and message-tool modes do not leak high-cardinality messaging identifiers.
+- Exec approvals: detect `env -S` split-string command-carrier risks when `-S`/`-s` is combined with other env short options, so approval explanations do not miss split payloads hidden behind `env -iS...`. Thanks @vincentkoc.
+- Exec approvals: treat POSIX `exec` as a command carrier for inline eval, shell-wrapper, and eval/source detection, so approval explanations and command-risk checks do not miss payloads hidden behind `exec`. Thanks @vincentkoc.
+- Exec approvals: unwrap BSD/macOS `env -P <path>` carrier commands before approval-command and strict inline-eval checks, so `/approve` shell execution and inline interpreter payloads are still blocked behind that env form.
+- Agents/session status: keep semantic `session_status({ sessionKey: "current" })` on the live run session even before that run has a persisted session-store entry, instead of falling back to the sandbox policy key. Thanks @vincentkoc.
+- Agents/trajectory: bound runtime trajectory capture and yield queued sidecar writes so oversized traces stop recording instead of monopolizing Gateway cleanup. Fixes #77124. Thanks @loyur.
+- Agents/Pi: suppress persistence for synthetic mid-turn overflow continuation prompts, so transcript-retry recovery does not write the "continue from transcript" prompt as a new user turn. Thanks @vincentkoc.
+- Release validation: skip Slack live QA unless Slack credentials are explicitly configured, so release gates can keep proving non-Slack surfaces while Slack is still local and credential-gated. Thanks @vincentkoc.
+- Release validation: allow focused QA live reruns to select Matrix and Telegram without running Slack, so known Slack credential-pool outages do not block non-Slack live proof. Thanks @vincentkoc.
+- Release validation: install the cross-OS TypeScript harness through Windows-safe Node/npm shims so native Windows package checks reach the OpenClaw smoke suites instead of exiting before artifact capture. Thanks @vincentkoc.
+- Release validation: let Windows packaged-upgrade checks continue after the shipped 2026.5.2 updater hits its native-module swap cleanup fallback, verifying the fallback-installed candidate through package metadata and downstream smoke instead of crashing on the immediate update-status probe. Thanks @vincentkoc.
+- Release/beta smoke: resolve the dispatched Telegram beta E2E run from `gh run list` when `gh workflow run` returns no run URL, so the maintainer helper does not fail immediately after dispatch. Thanks @vincentkoc.
+- QA/Slack: update the Slack dispatch preview fallback test SDK mock for structured progress draft helpers, so the rich progress draft regression suite covers the new imports instead of failing before assertions run. Thanks @vincentkoc.
+- QA/Slack: resolve bundled official plugin public-surface package aliases during source-mode QA runs, so release Slack live validation can load `@openclaw/slack/api.js` without workspace symlinks. Thanks @vincentkoc.
+- QA/Matrix: let the live tool-progress preview and error checks verify progress replacement events without depending on the preview saying `Working`, `tool: read`, an unlabelled/pathless `read from`, or the original draft root being observed. Thanks @vincentkoc.
+- QA/Matrix: keep the target=both approval scenario focused on channel and DM metadata delivery by resolving the accepted approval through the gateway after both Matrix events are observed. Thanks @vincentkoc.
+- QA/Matrix: wait for live approval reactions to echo before starting the threaded approval decision timeout. Thanks @vincentkoc.
+- QA/Matrix: reuse the primed driver sync stream when confirming approval reaction echoes, avoiding missed self-reactions in live release runs. Thanks @vincentkoc.
+- Channels/plugins: key bundled package-state probes, env/config presence, and read-only command defaults by channel id instead of manifest plugin id, preserving setup and native-command detection for channel plugins whose package id differs from the channel alias. Thanks @vincentkoc.
+- Control UI/performance: cap long-task and long-animation-frame diagnostics in the shared event log, so slow-render telemetry does not evict gateway/plugin events from the Debug and Overview views. Thanks @vincentkoc.
+- Control UI/i18n: render the Sessions active filter tooltip with the configured minute count in every locale and make the i18n check reject placeholder drift. Thanks @BunsDev.
+- Codex: pass the live run session key into app-server dynamic tools when sandbox policy uses a separate session key, so `session_status({ sessionKey: "current" })` reports the active run instead of the sandbox policy key. Thanks @vincentkoc.
+- Plugins/tools: mark manifest-optional sibling tools as optional even when they come from a shared non-optional factory, so cached/status/MCP metadata keeps opt-in tool policy accurate. Thanks @vincentkoc.
+- Matrix: keep `streaming.progress.toolProgress` scoped to progress draft mode, so partial and quiet Matrix previews do not lose tool progress unless `streaming.preview.toolProgress` is disabled. Thanks @vincentkoc.
+- Channels/streaming: keep `streaming.progress.toolProgress` scoped to progress draft mode, so disabling compact progress lines does not silence partial/block preview tool updates. Thanks @vincentkoc.
+- MCP: include serialized conversation/message payloads in the primary text content for `conversations_list` and `messages_read`, while preserving `structuredContent` for capable clients. Fixes #77024.
+- Media: treat `EPERM` from the post-write media fsync step as best-effort, allowing WebChat and channel uploads to finish on Windows filesystems that reject `fsync` after a successful write. Fixes #76844.
+- Streaming channels: add `streaming.preview.commandText: "status"` / `streaming.progress.commandText: "status"` to hide command/exec text in preview progress lines while keeping the released raw command text default. Fixes #77072.
+- Agents/cron: let explicit cron `timeoutSeconds` drive both CLI no-output and embedded LLM idle watchdogs instead of being capped by resume defaults. Fixes #76289.
+- Plugins/catalog: suppress missing `channelConfigs` compatibility diagnostics for external channel plugins that are disabled, denied, or outside a restrictive allowlist. Fixes #76095.
+- Agents/cli-runner: drop a saved `claude-cli` resume sessionId at preparation time when its on-disk transcript no longer exists in `~/.claude/projects/`, so a stale binding from a half-installed `update.run` cannot trap follow-up runs (auto-reply / Telegram direct) in a `claude --resume` timeout loop; the run starts fresh and the new sessionId is written back through the existing post-run flow. (#77030; refs #77011) Thanks @openperf.
+- MCP/plugin tools: apply global `tools.profile`, `tools.alsoAllow`, and `tools.deny` policy while exposing plugin tools over the standalone MCP bridge, so ACP clients do not see policy-hidden plugin tools or miss opt-in optional tools. Thanks @vincentkoc.
+- Plugin tools: honor explicit tool denylists while selecting plugin tool runtimes, so denied plugin tools are not materialized for direct command or gateway surfaces before later policy filtering. Thanks @vincentkoc.
+- Plugin tools: filter factory-returned tools by manifest per-tool optional policy, so optional sibling tools from a shared runtime factory stay hidden unless explicitly allowed. Thanks @vincentkoc.
+- Agents/transcripts: retry context-overflow compaction from the current transcript only after the inbound user turn was actually persisted, and keep WebChat agent-run live delivery from writing duplicate Pi-managed assistant turns. Fixes #76424. (#77033)
+- Messaging: queue assembled channel-turn final replies before sending to reduce response loss when the gateway restarts between assistant completion and channel delivery. Refs #77000.
+- Agents/bootstrap: keep pending `BOOTSTRAP.md` and bootstrap truncation notices in system-prompt Project Context instead of copying setup text or raw warning diagnostics into WebChat user/runtime context. Fixes #76946.
+- Channels/CLI: keep `openclaw channels list --json` usable when provider usage fetching fails, and report per-provider usage errors without aborting the channel list. Refs #67595.
+- Agents/messaging: deliver distinct final commentary after same-target `message` tool sends while still deduping text/media already sent by the tool, so short closing remarks are no longer silently dropped. Fixes #76915. Thanks @hclsys.
+- Agents/messaging: preserve string thread IDs when matching message-tool reply dedupe routes, avoiding precision loss on numeric-looking topic IDs before channel plugin comparison. Thanks @vincentkoc.
+- Channels/streaming: honor `agents.defaults.toolProgressDetail: "raw"` in Slack, Discord, Telegram, Matrix, and Microsoft Teams progress drafts, so tool-start lines include raw command/detail output when debugging. Thanks @vincentkoc.
+- Channels/streaming: strip unmatched inline-code backticks from compacted raw progress draft lines, avoiding stray markdown markers after long command details are shortened. Thanks @vincentkoc.
+- Feishu: use the shared channel progress formatter for streaming-card tool status lines, including raw command/detail output and message-tool filtering. Thanks @vincentkoc.
+- Plugin updates: do not short-circuit trusted official npm updates as unchanged when the default/latest spec still resolves to an already-installed prerelease that the installer should replace with a stable fallback. Thanks @vincentkoc.
+- Plugin updates: clean stale bundled load paths for already-externalized npm installs whose legacy install record only preserved the resolved package name. Thanks @vincentkoc.
+- Plugin tools: keep auth-unavailable optional tools hidden even when another default tool from the same plugin is available and `tools.alsoAllow` names the optional tool. Thanks @vincentkoc.
+- Realtime transcription: report socket closes before provider readiness as closed-before-ready failures instead of mislabeling them as connection timeouts for OpenAI, xAI, and Deepgram streaming transcription. Thanks @vincentkoc.
+- Slack/Discord: suppress standalone tool-progress chatter when partial preview streaming has `streaming.preview.toolProgress: false`, matching the documented quiet-preview behavior. Thanks @vincentkoc.
+- Matrix: bind native approval reaction targets before publishing option reactions, so fast approver reactions on threaded prompts are not dropped while the approval handler finishes setup. Thanks @vincentkoc.
+- WhatsApp: route terminal login QR output through the active runtime for initial and restart sockets, so `openclaw channels login --channel whatsapp` does not lose the QR behind direct stdout writes. Fixes #76213. Thanks @dougvk.
+- Proxy/debugging: disable debug proxy direct upstream forwarding for proxy requests and CONNECT tunnels while managed proxy mode is active unless `OPENCLAW_DEBUG_PROXY_ALLOW_DIRECT_CONNECT_WITH_MANAGED_PROXY=1` is explicitly set for approved local diagnostics. Thanks @jesse-merhi and @mjamiv.
+- Direct APNs: route direct HTTP/2 delivery through the active managed proxy with redacted proxy diagnostics, so push requests honor configured egress controls and `openclaw proxy validate --apns-reachable` can prove APNs is reachable through the proxy before deployment. (#74905) Thanks @jesse-merhi.
+- TUI: replace the stale-response watchdog notice with plain user-facing copy so stalled replies no longer surface backend or streaming internals. (#77120) Thanks @davemorin.
+- Security/Windows: validate `SystemRoot`/`WINDIR` env values through the Windows install-root validator and add them to the dangerous-host-env policy when resolving `icacls.exe`/`whoami.exe` for `openclaw security audit`, so workspace `.env` overrides and bare command names cannot redirect Windows ACL helpers to attacker-controlled binaries. (#74458) Thanks @mmaps.
+- Security/Windows: pin Windows registry-probe `reg.exe` resolution to the canonical Windows install root in install-root probing, so `SystemRoot`/`WINDIR` env overrides cannot redirect registry queries during Windows host detection. (#74454) Thanks @mmaps.
+- Security/Windows: block `LOCALAPPDATA` from workspace `.env` and resolve Windows update-flow portable Git path prepends from the trusted process-local `LOCALAPPDATA` only, so workspace-supplied values cannot redirect `git` discovery during `openclaw update`. (#77470) Thanks @drobison00.
+- Security/Windows: route the `.cmd`/`.bat` process wrapper through the shared Windows install-root resolver instead of `process.env.ComSpec`, so workspace dotenv-blocked `SystemRoot`/`WINDIR` overrides and unsafe values like UNC paths or path-lists cannot redirect `cmd.exe` selection on Windows. (#77472) Thanks @drobison00.
+- Agents/bootstrap: honor `BOOTSTRAP.md` content injected by `agent:bootstrap` hooks when deciding whether bootstrap is pending, so hook-provided required setup instructions are included in the system prompt. (#77501) Thanks @ificator.
+- Agents/replay-history: drop trailing assistant turns whose content is empty or carries only the stream-error sentinel before sending the transcript to the provider, so prefill-strict providers (such as github-copilot/claude-opus-4.6) no longer reject the request with `400 The conversation must end with a user message` after a session whose last turn errored before producing content. Refs #77228. (#77287) Thanks @openperf.
+- Agents/session-file-repair: drop `type: "message"` entries with a missing, `null`, or blank role during the on-disk repair pass so sessions that accumulated null-role JSONL corruption (such as the 935+ corrupt entries in #77228) get fully cleaned up rather than carried forward into the repaired file. Refs #77228. (#77288) Thanks @openperf.
+- Doctor/device pairing: stop suggesting `openclaw devices rotate --role <role>` for stale local cached device auth when that role is no longer approved by the gateway pairing record, so doctor no longer points users at a command that must be denied. (#77688) Thanks @Conan-Scott.
+- Ollama/thinking: expose the lightweight Ollama provider thinking profile through the public provider-policy artifact too, so reasoning-capable Ollama models such as `ollama/deepseek-v4-pro:cloud` keep `/think max` available even before the full plugin runtime activates. (#77617, fixes #77612) Thanks @rriggs and @yfge.
+- Codex/app-server: stabilize transcript mirror dedupe across re-mirrored turns so reordered snapshots no longer drop reasoning entries or duplicate the assistant reply. Refs #77012. (#77046) Thanks @openperf.
+- Agents/auth-profiles: do not record request-shape (`format`) rejections as auth-profile health failures, so a single per-session transcript-shape error (such as a prefill-strict 400 "conversation must end with a user message") no longer triggers a profile-wide cooldown that blocks every other healthy session sharing the same auth profile. Refs #77228. (#77280) Thanks @openperf.
+- CLI/update: stop dev-channel source updates immediately when `git fetch` fails, so tag conflicts cannot keep preflight, rebase, or build steps running against stale refs while the Gateway is still on the old runtime. (#77845) Thanks @obviyus.
+- Config/recovery: chmod restored `openclaw.json` back to owner-only (`0600`) after suspicious-read backup recovery on POSIX hosts, so a previously world-readable config mode cannot persist into a freshly restored credential-bearing config. (#77488) Thanks @drobison00.
+- Memory/dreaming: persist last dreaming-ingestion calendar day per daily note in `daily-ingestion.json` so unchanged notes are still re-ingested once per dreaming day for promotion signals toward deep thresholds. Fixes #76225. (#76359) Thanks @neeravmakwana.
+- Agents/embed: keep message_end safety delivery armed when a silent text_end chunk produces no block reply, fixing dropped Telegram/forum replies. Fixes #77833. (#77840) Thanks @neeravmakwana.
+- Install/postinstall: skip noisy compile-cache prune warnings when `EACCES`/`EPERM` prevent removing shared `/tmp/node-compile-cache` entries owned by another user. Fixes #76353. (#76362) Thanks @RayWoo and @neeravmakwana.
+- Agents/messaging: surface CLI subprocess watchdog/turn timeout messages to chat users when verbose failures are off, instead of collapsing them into generic external-run failure copy. Fixes #77007. (#77015) Thanks @neeravmakwana.
+- Agents/sessions: after embedded Pi runs, append assistant-visible reply text to session JSONL only when Pi did not already persist an equivalent tail assistant entry, without re-mirroring the user prompt Pi owns. Fixes #77823. (#77839) Thanks @neeravmakwana.
+- Plugins/CLI: load the install-records ledger when listing channel-catalog entries, so npm-installed third-party channel plugins resolve through `openclaw channels login`/`channels add` instead of failing with `Unsupported channel`. (#77269) Thanks @pumpkinxing1.
+- Memory wiki/Security: enforce session visibility on shared-memory `wiki_search` and `wiki_get` so sandboxed subagents cannot read transcript content from sibling or parent sessions. Fixes GHSA-72fw-cqh5-f324. Thanks @zsxsoft.
+- Exec approvals: enforce allowlist `argPattern` argument restrictions on Linux and macOS as well as Windows, so an entry like `{ pattern: "python3", argPattern: "^safe\\.py$" }` no longer silently relaxes to a path-only match on non-Windows hosts. (#75143) Thanks @eleqtrizit.
+
+## 2026.5.3-1
+
+### Fixes
+
+- Plugins/security: stop the install scanner from blocking official bundled plugin packages when `process.env` access and normal API sends only appear in distant parts of the same compiled bundle. Thanks @vincentkoc.
+
+## 2026.5.3
+
+### Highlights
+
+- Plugins/file-transfer: add bundled file-transfer plugin with `file_fetch`, `dir_list`, `dir_fetch`, and `file_write` agent tools for binary file ops on paired nodes; default-deny per-node path policy under `plugins.entries.file-transfer.config.nodes` with operator approval, symlink traversal refused by default (opt-in `followSymlinks`), and a 16 MB byte ceiling per round-trip. (#74742) Thanks @omarshahine.
+- Plugins/install: harden official plugin install, uninstall, update, onboarding, ClawHub fallback, npm dependency-state reporting, and beta-channel update paths so externalized plugins behave like first-class package installs.
+- Gateway/performance: trim startup and Control UI hot paths by lazy-loading plugin/runtime discovery, cron, schema, shutdown, sessions, and model metadata work only when needed.
+- Channels/replies: improve Discord status reactions and degraded transport reporting, add WhatsApp Channel/Newsletter targets, and tighten Telegram, Feishu, Matrix, Microsoft Teams, and Slack delivery/recovery behavior.
+- Install/update: recover broken macOS LaunchAgent upgrades, reject source-only plugin packages before runtime load, and repair stale Gateway/plugin state during updates and doctor runs.
+- Agent/runtime reliability: preserve streamed provider replies, delayed A2A session replies, prompt/tool delivery, memory recall, web search provider discovery, and provider-specific thinking/model metadata across common edge cases.
+
+### Changes
+
+- Channels/streaming: add unified `streaming.mode: "progress"` drafts with auto single-word status labels and shared progress configuration across Discord, Telegram, Matrix, Slack, and Microsoft Teams.
+- Agents/commands: add `/steer <message>` for queue-independent steering of the active current-session run without starting a new turn when the session is idle. (#76934)
+- Tools/BTW: add `/side` as a text and native slash-command alias for `/btw` side questions.
+- Doctor/config: `doctor --fix` now commits safe legacy migrations even when unrelated validation issues (e.g. a missing plugin) prevent full validation from passing, so `agents.defaults.llm` and other known-legacy keys are always cleaned up by `doctor --fix` regardless of other config problems. Fixes #76798. (#76800) Thanks @hclsys.
+- Agents/tools: skip optional media and PDF tool factories when the effective tool denylist already blocks them, avoiding unnecessary hot-path setup for tools that will be filtered out before model use. (#76773) Thanks @dorukardahan.
+- Discord/status: let explicit reaction tool calls opt into tracking subsequent tool progress on the reacted message with `trackToolCalls: true`, and use the shared tool display emoji table for status reactions.
+- Gateway/config: stop Gateway startup and hot reload from auto-restoring invalid config; invalid config now fails closed and `openclaw doctor --fix` owns last-known-good repair.
+- Gateway/performance: lazy-load early runtime discovery and shutdown-hook helpers, defer maintenance timers until after readiness, and trim duplicate plugin auto-enable work during Gateway startup.
+- QA/Mantis: add a `pnpm openclaw qa mantis discord-smoke` runner and manual GitHub workflow that verify the Mantis Discord bot can see the configured guild/channel, post a smoke message, add a reaction, and upload artifacts.
+- QA/Slack: add a Slack live transport QA runner with canary and mention-gating coverage for the private bot-to-bot harness. Thanks @vincentkoc.
+- Plugins/onboarding: let Manual setup install optional official plugins, including ClawHub-backed diagnostics with npm fallback, and expose the external Codex plugin as a selectable provider setup choice. Thanks @vincentkoc.
+- Plugins/CLI/update: include package dependency install state in `openclaw plugins list --json`, trust official externalized npm migrations, clean stale bundled load paths for externalized installs, try plugin `@beta` updates first on the beta OpenClaw channel, and fall back to default/latest when no plugin beta release exists.
+- Plugins/ClawHub: annotate 429 errors with reset windows and unauthenticated higher-rate-limit hints, so operators can tell when downloads recover and when signing in helps. Thanks @romneyda.
+- Gateway/performance: lazy-load early runtime discovery, shutdown hooks, cron, channel-config schema metadata, restart sentinels, and maintenance timers after readiness; trim duplicate plugin auto-enable work and add startup CPU/profile controls.
+- Gateway/config: stop Gateway startup and hot reload from auto-restoring invalid config; invalid config now fails closed and `openclaw doctor --fix` owns last-known-good repair.
+- Discord/status: let explicit reaction tool calls opt into tracking later tool progress with `trackToolCalls: true`, share tool display emoji mapping, and surface degraded Discord transport or gateway event-loop starvation in status output. (#76327) Thanks @joshavant.
+- Channels/WhatsApp: support explicit WhatsApp Channel/Newsletter `@newsletter` outbound message targets with channel session metadata instead of DM routing. Fixes #13417; carries forward the narrow outbound target idea from #13424. Thanks @vincentkoc and @agentz-manfred.
+- Agents/tools: skip optional media and PDF tool factories when the effective tool denylist already blocks them, avoiding unnecessary hot-path setup for tools that will be filtered out before model use. (#76773) Thanks @dorukardahan.
+- Agents/sandbox: store sandbox container and browser registry entries as per-runtime shard files, reducing unrelated session lock contention while `openclaw doctor --fix` migrates legacy monolithic registry files. (#74831) Thanks @luckylhb90.
+- Tools/BTW: add `/side` as a text and native slash-command alias for `/btw` side questions.
+- Exec approvals: add a tree-sitter-backed shell command explainer for future approval and command-review surfaces. (#75004) Thanks @jesse-merhi.
+- QA/Mantis: add a `pnpm openclaw qa mantis discord-smoke` runner and manual GitHub workflow that verify the Mantis Discord bot can see the configured guild/channel, post a smoke message, add a reaction, and upload artifacts.
+
+### Fixes
+
+- Update: repair doctor-migratable legacy config before persisting `openclaw update --channel ...`, so old Slack/Telegram streaming keys do not block switching to beta after a package update. Thanks @vincentkoc.
+- Web fetch: late-bind `web_fetch` config and provider fallback metadata from the active runtime snapshot, matching `web_search` so long-lived tools do not use stale fetch provider settings. Thanks @vincentkoc.
+- Plugins/discovery: demote the source-only TypeScript runtime check on already-installed `origin: "global"` plugin packages from a config-blocking error to a warning and let the runtime fall through to the TypeScript source via jiti, so a single broken installed package no longer blocks `plugins install` for unrelated plugins; install-time rejection of newly-installed source-only packages is unchanged. Thanks @romneyda.
+- Providers/OpenAI Codex: stop the OAuth progress spinner before showing the manual redirect paste prompt, so callback timeouts do not spam `Browser callback did not finish` across terminals.
+- Channels/WhatsApp: allow `@whiskeysockets/libsignal-node` in `onlyBuiltDependencies` so pnpm v9+ `blockExoticSubdeps` no longer rejects the baileys git-tarball subdep and silences all inbound agent replies. Fixes #76539. Thanks @ottodeng and @vincentkoc.
+- Gateway/systemd: preserve operator-added secrets in the Gateway env file across re-stage while clearing OpenClaw-managed keys (such as `OPENCLAW_GATEWAY_TOKEN`) so a fresh staging value is never shadowed by a stale env-file copy; operator secrets are also retained when the state-dir `.env` is empty. Fixes #76860. Thanks @hclsys.
+- Plugin updates: do not short-circuit trusted official npm updates as unchanged when the default/latest spec still resolves to an already-installed prerelease that the installer should replace with a stable fallback. Thanks @vincentkoc.
+- Plugin tools: keep auth-unavailable optional tools hidden even when another default tool from the same plugin is available and `tools.alsoAllow` names the optional tool. Thanks @vincentkoc.
+- Realtime transcription: report socket closes before provider readiness as closed-before-ready failures instead of mislabeling them as connection timeouts for OpenAI, xAI, and Deepgram streaming transcription. Thanks @vincentkoc.
+- OpenAI/Google Meet: fail realtime voice connection attempts when the socket closes before `session.updated`, avoiding stuck Meet joins waiting on a bridge that never became ready. Thanks @vincentkoc.
+- QA/cache: require the full `CACHE-OK <suffix>` marker before live cache probes stop retrying, so suffix-only prose cannot hide a broken probe response. Thanks @vincentkoc.
+- Slack/Matrix: avoid creating blank progress-draft messages when `streaming.progress.label=false` and progress tool lines are disabled. Thanks @vincentkoc.
+- QA/Matrix: keep the mock OpenAI tool-progress provider aligned with exact-marker Matrix prompts so the hardened live preview scenario still forces a deterministic read before final delivery. Thanks @vincentkoc.
+- OpenAI/Google Meet: wait for realtime voice `session.updated` before treating the bridge as connected, so Meet joins do not return with audio queued behind an unconfigured realtime session. Thanks @vincentkoc.
+- Plugins/catalog: merge official external catalog descriptors into partial package channel config metadata, so lagging WeCom/Yuanbao manifests keep their own schema while still exposing host-supplied labels and setup text. Thanks @vincentkoc.
+- Plugins/catalog: supplement lagging official external WeCom and Yuanbao npm manifests with channel config descriptors and declared tool contracts from the OpenClaw catalog, so trusted package sweeps no longer fail because external package metadata trails the host contract. Thanks @vincentkoc.
+- Plugins/install: let trusted official `@openclaw/*` catalog installs recover when npm `latest` points at a prerelease by falling back to the newest stable version, or by selecting the newest exact prerelease for prerelease-only launch packages with a warning instead of making beta/development plugin sweeps fail at install time. Thanks @vincentkoc.
+- Google Meet: grant Chrome media permissions against the actual Meet tab, start the local realtime audio bridge only after Meet joins, expose realtime transcripts in status/logs, and force explicit audio responses with current OpenAI realtime output-audio events so BlackHole capture does not keep the OpenClaw participant muted or silent.
+- Memory/LanceDB: declare `apache-arrow` in the bundled memory plugin package so LanceDB installs include its runtime peer. Fixes #76910. Thanks @afiqfiles-max.
+- CLI/devices: retry explicit device-pair approval with `operator.admin` after a pairing-scope ownership denial, so existing admin-capable paired-device tokens can recover new Control UI/browser pairing after upgrades instead of requiring manual JSON edits. Fixes #76956. Thanks @neo19482.
+- CLI/devices: stop local pairing fallback when the active Gateway names a pending request that is absent from the local pairing store, so profile or state-dir mismatches no longer make `openclaw devices list/approve` inspect the wrong store while a real device stays blocked. Thanks @vincentkoc.
+- Google Meet: use the local call-control microphone button instead of disabled remote participant mute buttons, and block realtime speech when the OpenClaw Meet microphone remains muted.
+- Google Meet: refresh realtime browser state during status and retry delayed speech after Meet finishes joining, so a just-opened in-call tab no longer leaves speech stuck behind stale `not-in-call` health.
+- Plugins/install: recover the install ledger from the managed npm root when `plugins/installs.json` is empty or partial, so reinstalling Discord and Codex no longer makes the other installed plugin disappear.
+- Google Meet: grant Meet media permissions through the Playwright browser context when CDP grants do not affect the attached Chrome page, and report in-call microphone/speaker permission problems instead of marking realtime speech ready.
+- QA/Slack: fail the live mention-gating scenario on any unexpected SUT reply, even when the reply does not echo the expected marker. Thanks @vincentkoc.
+- QA/Matrix: steer the live tool-progress preview check away from `HEARTBEAT.md` and report final preview candidates when the live marker reply misses the exact token. Thanks @vincentkoc.
+- QA/Matrix: let the live tool-progress preview check verify progress replacement events without depending on the preview saying `Working`. Thanks @vincentkoc.
+- Tlon: expose `groupInviteAllowlist` in the channel config schema and clarify that group invite auto-accept fails closed without an invite allowlist. Thanks @vincentkoc.
+- Control UI/WebChat: collapse duplicate in-flight internal text sends onto the active Gateway run so rapid repeat submits do not start fresh `agent:main:main` dispatches. Fixes #75737. Thanks @dsdsddd1 and @BunsDev.
+- Mattermost: accept the documented `channels.mattermost.streaming` config and honor `streaming: "off"` by disabling draft preview posts. Thanks @vincentkoc.
+- Mattermost: expose streaming progress config labels and help text in generated channel config metadata so Control UI/docs can explain the new `channels.mattermost.streaming.progress.*` fields. Thanks @vincentkoc.
+- Mattermost: honor `channels.mattermost.streaming.progress.toolProgress=false` in progress draft mode so compact tool status lines stay hidden until final delivery. Thanks @vincentkoc.
+- Microsoft Teams: honor progress draft tool lines in native Teams progress streams and suppress standalone tool messages when `channels.msteams.streaming.progress.toolProgress=false`. Thanks @vincentkoc.
+- Discord: keep progress draft boundary callbacks bound during streaming replies, so extension lint stays green while progress previews transition between assistant and reasoning blocks. Thanks @vincentkoc.
+- Discord: resolve SecretRef-backed bot tokens from the active runtime snapshot for named accounts and keep unresolved configured tokens from crashing status or health checks. (#76987) Thanks @joshavant.
+- Channels/streaming: expose `streaming.progress.label`, `labels`, `maxLines`, and `toolProgress` in bundled channel config metadata so progress draft settings appear in config, docs, and control surfaces. Thanks @vincentkoc.
+- Channels/streaming: normalize whitespace and case for `streaming.progress.label: "auto"` so progress draft labels keep using the built-in label pool instead of rendering a literal `auto` title. Thanks @vincentkoc.
+- Plugins/Codex: preserve Codex-native OAuth routing for `/codex bind` app-server turns so bound sessions keep the selected Codex auth profile instead of falling back to public OpenAI credentials. (#76714) Thanks @keshavbotagent.
+- Gateway/install: prefer supported system Node over nvm/fnm/volta/asdf/mise when regenerating managed gateway services, so `gateway install --force` no longer recreates service definitions that doctor immediately flags as version-manager-backed. Fixes #76339. Thanks @brokemac79.
+- Cron/status: render explicit `delivery.mode: "none"` jobs as no-delivery previews and label cron session history distinctly instead of showing fallback delivery or direct-session rows. Fixes #76945.
+- Gateway/usage: serve `usage.cost` and `sessions.usage` from a durable transcript aggregate cache with lock-safe background refreshes and localized stale-cache status, so large usage views avoid repeated full scans. (#76650) Thanks @Marvinthebored.
+- Plugins/hooks: let `plugins.entries.<id>.hooks.timeoutMs` and `plugins.entries.<id>.hooks.timeouts` bound plugin typed hooks from operator config, so slow hooks can be tuned without patching installed plugin code. Fixes #76778. Thanks @vincentkoc.
+- Telegram: add `channels.telegram.mediaGroupFlushMs` at the top level and per account so operators can tune album buffering instead of being stuck with the hard-coded 500ms media-group flush window. Fixes #76149. Thanks @vincentkoc.
+- Config/messages: coerce boolean `messages.visibleReplies` and `messages.groupChat.visibleReplies` values to the documented enum modes so an intuitive toggle no longer invalidates config and drops channel startup. Fixes #75390. Thanks @scottgl9.
+- Agents/network: allow trusted web-search providers and configured model-provider hosts to work behind Surge/Clash/sing-box fake-IP DNS by accepting RFC 2544 and IPv6 ULA synthetic answers only for the request's scoped hostname, without broad private-network access. Refs #76530 and #76549. Thanks @zqchris.
+- Providers: honor env-proxy settings for guarded provider model fetches when no explicit dispatcher policy is configured, preserving explicit transport overrides. Fixes #70453. (#72480) Thanks @mjamiv.
+- Web fetch: add a default-off `tools.web.fetch.useTrustedEnvProxy` opt-in for proxy-only environments so `web_fetch` can let an operator-controlled HTTP(S) proxy resolve DNS while preserving default strict DNS pinning and hostname policy checks. Refs #58034 and #62560. Thanks @cosmicnet and @mjamiv.
+- Feishu: accept and honor `channels.feishu.blockStreaming` at the top level and per account, while keeping the legacy default off so Feishu cards no longer reject documented config or silently drop block replies. Fixes #75555. Thanks @vincentkoc.
+- Gateway/update: avoid `launchctl kickstart -k` immediately after fresh macOS update bootstraps, and unlink dangling global plugin-runtime symlinks during packaged postinstall and `doctor --fix` so upgrades no longer SIGTERM the newly booted Gateway or leave bundled plugin imports pointed at pruned `plugin-runtime-deps` trees. Completes #76261 and fixes #76466. (#76929)
+- Google Chat: normalize custom Google auth transport headers before google-auth/gaxios interceptors run, restoring webhook token verification when certificate retrieval expects Fetch `Headers`. Fixes #76742. Thanks @donbowman.
+- Doctor/plugins: reset stale `plugins.slots.memory` and `plugins.slots.contextEngine` references during `doctor --fix`, so cleanup of missing plugin config does not leave unrecoverable slot owners behind. Fixes #76550 and #76551. Thanks @vincentkoc.
+- Docs/WhatsApp: merge the duplicate top-level `web` objects in the gateway channel config example so copy-pasted WhatsApp config keeps both `web.whatsapp` and reconnect settings. Fixes #76619. Thanks @WadydX.
+- Plugins/Anthropic: expose Claude thinking profiles from the bundled provider-policy artifact so non-runtime callers keep Opus 4.7 `adaptive`, `xhigh`, and `max` instead of downgrading to `high`. Fixes #76779. Thanks @tomascupr and @iAbhi001.
+- Plugins/tools: honor `tools.alsoAllow` as an optional plugin tool discovery hint without treating its internal allow-all default as permission to load every manifest-marked optional plugin tool. Fixes #76616.
+- Discord/native commands: skip slash-command registration and cleanup REST calls when `channels.discord.commands.native=false`, letting low-power gateways start without waiting on disabled native-command lifecycle requests. Fixes #76202. Thanks @vincentkoc.
+- CLI/plugins: reject unowned command roots such as `openclaw foo` before managed proxy startup and full plugin CLI runtime loading while preserving manifest-owned and CLI-metadata-owned plugin commands. Fixes #75287. Thanks @neilofneils404.
+- CLI/message: skip local configured-channel plugin preload for explicit gateway-owned message actions, letting normalized CLI delivery delegate to the gateway without initializing channel runtime in the short-lived CLI process. Fixes #75477.
+- Plugins/commands: normalize empty plugin command handler results and let Telegram native plugin commands send the empty-response fallback instead of throwing when a handler returns `undefined`. Fixes #74800. Thanks @vincentkoc.
+- Plugins/tools: cold-load selected plugin tool registries when the active registry only has partial tool coverage, so wildcard-expanded allowlists no longer hide installed plugin tools from `tools.effective`. Fixes #76780. Thanks @lilesjtu.
+- Plugins/tools: compare cached and runtime plugin tool name conflicts with normalized core tool names, so case variants of core tools are blocked instead of leaking duplicate tool registrations. Thanks @vincentkoc.
+- Plugins/OpenRouter: advertise DeepSeek V4 thinking levels, including `xhigh` and `max`, through the runtime and lightweight provider policy surfaces so `/think` validation no longer rejects OpenRouter-routed DeepSeek V4 models. Fixes #74788. Thanks @vincentkoc.
+- Status/sessions: ignore malformed non-string persisted session provider/model metadata instead of throwing while rendering status summaries. Fixes #76206. Thanks @vincentkoc.
+- CLI/config: remove only the targeted array element for `openclaw config unset array[index]` instead of replaying the unset during config write and deleting the shifted next element. Fixes #76290. Thanks @SymbolStar and @vincentkoc.
+- Plugins/voice-call: treat abnormal local Gateway close code 1006 as a standalone CLI fallback case, so `voicecall smoke` and related commands can still run the provider check path when the Gateway socket closes before returning a response.
+- CLI/doctor: migrate legacy per-channel `streaming.progress` config into `streaming.preview.toolProgress`, so upgrades with stale Discord or Telegram streaming keys validate again instead of blocking plugin commands.
+- Plugins/release: reject ClawHub code-plugin packages that contain TypeScript runtime entries without compiled `dist/*.js` output, and run package-local runtime-build checks during npm and ClawHub plugin release previews.
+- Plugins/update: keep beta-installed OpenClaw package updates on the beta plugin channel even when config still says stable, so Discord and other externalized plugins update from compiled `@beta` packages instead of stale source-only `latest` artifacts.
+- Agents/tools: stop treating `tools.deny: ["write"]` as an implicit `apply_patch` deny; operators who want to block patch writes should deny `apply_patch` or `group:fs` explicitly. Fixes #76749. (#76795) Thanks @Nek-12 and @hclsys.
+- Plugins/release: verify published plugin npm tarballs expose compiled runtime entries after publish, catching TS-only package artifacts before release closeout. Thanks @vincentkoc.
+- CLI/message: exit cleanly with a nonzero status when message-command plugin registry loading fails before dispatch, preventing `openclaw-message` children from staying alive after plugin load errors. Fixes #76168.
+- Plugins/config: report configured plugins that are present but blocked by path-safety checks as blocked instead of stale `plugin not found` entries, and deduplicate repeated blocked-candidate warnings during discovery. Fixes #76144. Thanks @mayank6136.
+- Gateway/update: recover an installed-but-unloaded macOS LaunchAgent after package updates, rerun Gateway health/version/channel readiness checks, and print restart, reinstall, and rollback guidance before reporting update failure. (#76790) Thanks @jonathanlindsay.
+- Codex/runtime: preserve native Codex thread bindings across dynamic-tool reorder and no-tool maintenance turns, and project mirrored history when a legacy Codex run must start without a native binding, preventing follow-up requests from losing conversation context. (#76824) Thanks @VACInc.
+- CLI/plugins: explain when a missing plugin command alias belongs to a bundled plugin that is disabled by default, including the `openclaw plugins enable <plugin>` repair command. (#76835)
+- Gateway/Bonjour: auto-start LAN multicast discovery only on macOS hosts while preserving explicit `openclaw plugins enable bonjour` startup elsewhere, so Linux servers and containers that do not need LAN discovery avoid default mDNS probing and watchdog churn. Refs #74209.
+- Gateway/macOS: stop `doctor` and LaunchAgent recovery from running `launchctl kickstart -k` after a fresh bootstrap, avoiding an immediate SIGTERM of the just-started gateway while still nudging already-loaded launchd jobs. Fixes #76261. Thanks @solosage1.
+- Google Meet: route stateful CLI session commands through the gateway-owned runtime so joined realtime sessions survive after the starting CLI process exits. Fixes #76344. Thanks @coltonharris-wq.
+- Memory/status: split builtin sqlite-vec store readiness from embedding-provider readiness in `memory status --deep` and `openclaw status`, so local vector-store failures no longer look like provider failures and provider failures no longer hide a healthy local vector store.
+- CLI/doctor: trust a ready gateway memory probe when CLI-side active memory backend resolution is unavailable, preventing false "No active memory plugin is registered" warnings for healthy runtime setups. Fixes #76792. Thanks @som-686.
+- Memory/status: keep plain `openclaw memory status` and `openclaw memory status --json` on the cheap read-only path by reserving vector and embedding provider probes for `--deep` or `--index`. Fixes #76769. Thanks @daruire.
+- Telegram: suppress stale same-session replies when a newer accepted message arrives before an older in-flight Telegram dispatch finalizes. Fixes #76642. Thanks @chinar-amrutkar.
+- Gateway/diagnostics: throttle repeated long-running active-work session warnings so healthy cron or subagent runs no longer print the same `recovery=none` line every heartbeat.
+- Gateway/diagnostics: keep non-blocking active-work and transient event-loop max-spike liveness diagnostics out of the default gateway console while preserving structured diagnostic events and warnings for queued, stalled, and recovery-eligible work.
+- Slack: collapse routine Socket Mode pong-timeout reconnects into one OpenClaw reconnect line and suppress the duplicate Slack SDK pong warning.
+- Gateway/diagnostics: abort-drain embedded runs after an extended no-progress stall so a single dead session no longer leaves queued Discord/channel turns blocked behind repeated `recovery=none` liveness warnings.
+- Plugins/ClawHub: accept the live artifact resolver `kind`/`sha256` field names alongside the typed `artifactKind`/`artifactSha256` form so `clawhub:` installs of npm-pack and legacy ZIP packages no longer miss downloadable artifacts. Thanks @romneyda.
+- Control UI/Sessions: avoid full `sessions.list` reloads for chat-turn `sessions.changed` payloads, so large session stores no longer add multi-second delays while chat responses are being delivered. (#76676) Thanks @VACInc.
+- Gateway/watch: run `doctor --fix --non-interactive` once and retry when the dev Gateway child exits during startup, so stale local plugin install/config state does not leave the tmux watch session disappearing without a repair attempt.
+- Doctor/Telegram: warn when selected Telegram quote replies can suppress `streaming.preview.toolProgress`, and document the `replyToMode` trade-off without changing runtime delivery. Fixes #73487. Thanks @GodsBoy.
+- Channels/Discord: send a best-effort native typing cue immediately after an inbound DM is accepted, so slow pre-dispatch turns show Discord liveness before queueing, context assembly, model, or tool work starts. Fixes #76417. Thanks @mlopez14.
+- Plugins/install: reject source-only TypeScript package installs and installed plugin packages that are missing compiled runtime output, so broken npm artifacts fail at install/discovery time instead of falling through jiti and surfacing later as unavailable providers. Fixes #76720.
+- Plugins/config: deduplicate identical manifest compatibility diagnostics when an explicitly configured plugin overrides another discovered candidate, so external channel plugins do not print the same missing `channelConfigs` warning repeatedly during install and enable. Thanks @vincentkoc.
+- Discord/status: honor explicit `messages.statusReactions.enabled: true` in tool-only guild channels so queued ack reactions can progress through thinking/done lifecycle reactions instead of stopping at the initial emoji. Thanks @Marvinthebored.
+- Discord/native commands: compare Discord-normalized slash-command descriptions and localized descriptions during reconcile so CJK or multiline command text no longer triggers redundant startup PATCH bursts and rate-limit 429s. Fixes #76587. Thanks @zhengsx.
+- Agents/OpenAI Codex: align ChatGPT Codex Responses replay with the Codex wire contract by preserving session cache identity while omitting prior Responses reasoning/message/function item IDs, so tool-call turns do not feed stale item identity into later Telegram replies. (#76832) Refs #76413. Thanks @MkDev11.
+- Agents/OpenAI: omit Chat Completions `reasoning_effort` for `gpt-5.4-mini` only when function tools are present while preserving tool-free Chat and Responses reasoning support, preventing Telegram-routed fallback runs from hanging after OpenAI rejects tool payloads. Fixes #76176. Thanks @ThisIsAdilah and @chinar-amrutkar.
+- Telegram: reuse the successful startup `getMe` probe for grammY polling startup and continue into `getUpdates` after recoverable `deleteWebhook` cleanup failures, reducing high-latency Bot API control-plane calls before long polling starts. Refs #76388. Thanks @jackiedepp.
+- Gateway/diagnostics: merge session id/key aliases in diagnostic session state and activity tracking so completed runs no longer leave stale queued work behind that keeps liveness samples at warning level.
+- Agents/models: forward model `maxTokens` as the default output-token limit for OpenAI-compatible Responses and Completions transports when no runtime override is provided, preventing provider defaults from silently truncating larger outputs. (#76645) Thanks @joeyfrasier.
+- macOS CLI/onboarding: honor sensitive wizard text steps in `openclaw-mac wizard` with termios no-echo input, suppressing saved credential previews while preserving long API keys and gateway tokens. Fixes #76698. Thanks @anurag-bg-neu and @sallyom.
+- Control UI/Skills: fix skill detail modal silently failing to open in all browsers by deferring `showModal()` until the dialog element is connected to the DOM; the Lit `ref` callback fired before connection causing a `DOMException: HTMLDialogElement.showModal: Dialog element is not connected` on every skill click. Thanks @nickmopen.
+- fix(lsp): resolve Windows .cmd shims in LSP server spawning so npm-installed language servers (e.g. typescript-language-server) start correctly on Windows. Fixes #75352. Thanks @ElliotDrel.

 - Control UI: allow deployments to configure grouped chat message max-width with a validated `gateway.controlUi.chatMessageMaxWidth` setting instead of patching bundled CSS after upgrades. Fixes #67935. Thanks @xiew4589-lang.
 - Control UI/Cron: ignore malformed persisted cron rows without valid payloads before they enter UI state and guard stale cron render paths, preventing blank Control UI sections after a bad cron snapshot. Fixes #55047 and #54439; supersedes #54550 and #54552.
 - Control UI/sessions: bound the default Sessions tab query to recent activity and fewer rows, avoiding expensive full-history loads while keeping filters editable. Fixes #76050. (#76051) Thanks @Neomail2.
+- Control UI/sessions: apply reliable `sessions.changed` snapshots in-place and refetch only for partial events, avoiding redundant `sessions.list` regeneration during active session updates.
+- Control UI/sessions: explain the Sessions filter controls with hover tooltips and raise the default list limit to 200 rows.
+- Control UI/sessions: expand compaction checkpoint details from checkpoint-bearing rows and keep token totals on one line.
+- Control UI/sessions: group Active and Limit filters together, streamline source toggles, and make the filter section collapsible.
+- Control UI/sessions: shorten filter tooltips and remove duplicate browser-native tooltip popovers.

 - Gateway/channels: cap startup fanout at four channel/account handoffs and recover from Bonjour ciao self-probe races, reducing Windows startup stalls with many Telegram accounts. Fixes #75687.
 - Gateway/sessions: keep `sessions.list` polling responsive on large session stores by reusing list-safe session cache/indexes and returning a lightweight compaction checkpoint preview instead of heavyweight summaries. Thanks @rolandrscheel.
 - Control UI/Gateway: keep long-running dashboard WebSocket sessions alive with protocol pings and keep Stop available after reconnect or reload by recovering session-scoped active-run abort state. Fixes #70991. Thanks @alexandre-leng.

 - Codex/app-server: tolerate a second connection close during startup recovery and include retry counts plus stringified errors in the restart warning, so concurrent lanes do not fail after one shared-client race.
 - Plugins/CLI: cache plugin CLI registration entries per command program so completion state generation does not repeat the full plugin sweep in one invocation. Thanks @ScientificProgrammer.
+- Voice Call: summarize restored-call verification logs during startup while preserving expired-call cleanup, reducing duplicate per-call skip messages. Thanks @jckm14.

+### Highlights
+
+- Messaging and automation get active-run steering by default, visible-reply enforcement, spawned subagent routing metadata, and opt-in follow-up commitments for heartbeat-delivered reminders. Thanks @vincentkoc, @scoootscooob, @samzong, and @vignesh07.
+- Memory grows into a people-aware wiki with provenance views, per-conversation Active Memory filters, partial recall on timeout, and bounded REM preview diagnostics. Thanks @vincentkoc, @quengh, @joeykrug, and @samzong.
+- Provider/model coverage expands with NVIDIA onboarding/catalogs plus faster manifest-backed model/auth paths, Bedrock Opus 4.7 thinking parity, and safer Codex/OpenAI-compatible replay and streaming behavior. Thanks @eleqtrizit, @shakkernerd, @prasad-yashdeep, @woodhouse-bot, and @LyHug.
+- Gateway and packaged-plugin reliability focuses on slow-host startup, reusable model catalogs, event-loop readiness diagnostics, runtime-dependency repair, stale-session recovery, and version-scoped update caches. Thanks @lpendeavors, @DerFlash, @vincentkoc, @pashpashpash, and @jhsmith409.
+- Channel fixes cluster around Slack Block Kit limits, Telegram proxy/webhook/polling/send resilience, Discord startup/rate-limit handling, WhatsApp delivery/liveness, and Microsoft Teams/Matrix/Feishu edge cases. Thanks @slackapi, @SymbolStar, @djgeorg3, @TinyTb, @dseravalli, @nklock, and @alex-xuweilong.
+- Security and operations add OpenGrep scanning, sharper GHSA triage policy, safer exec/pairing/owner-scope handling, Docker/onboarding automation, and web-fetch IPv6 ULA opt-in for trusted proxy stacks. Thanks @jesse-merhi, @pgondhi987, @mmaps, @jinjimz, and @jeffrey701.
 
 ### Changes
 
@@ -462,6 +1033,31 @@ Docs: https://docs.openclaw.ai
 - Agents/Codex: default Codex-harness direct source replies to the OpenClaw `message` tool when visible reply delivery is not explicitly configured, keeping channel-visible output as a deliberate tool call. (#75765) Thanks @pashpashpash.
 - Heartbeats/agents: add a structured `heartbeat_respond` tool for tool-capable heartbeat runs so agents can record quiet outcomes or explicit notification text without relying only on `HEARTBEAT_OK` parsing. (#75765) Thanks @pashpashpash.
 - Gateway/config: allow `$include` directives to read files from operator-approved `OPENCLAW_INCLUDE_ROOTS` directories while preserving default config-directory confinement. Thanks @ificator.
+- Security/tools: configured tool sections (`tools.exec`, `tools.fs`) no longer implicitly widen restrictive profiles (`messaging`, `minimal`). Users who need those tools under a restricted profile must add explicit `alsoAllow` entries; a startup warning identifies affected configs. Fixes #47487. Thanks @amknight.
+- Gateway/SDK: add SDK-facing artifact list/get/download RPCs and App SDK helpers with transcript provenance and download-source guardrails. Refs #74706. Thanks @tmimmanuel.
+- Agents/commitments: add opt-in inferred follow-up commitments with hidden batched extraction, per-agent/per-channel scoping, heartbeat delivery, CLI management, a simple `commitments.enabled`/`commitments.maxPerDay` config, and heartbeat-interval due-time clamping so magical check-ins do not echo immediately. (#74189) Thanks @vignesh07.
+- Messages/queue: make `steer` drain all pending Pi steering messages at the next model boundary, keep legacy one-at-a-time steering as `queue`, and add a dedicated steering queue docs page. Thanks @vincentkoc.
+- Messages/queue: default active-run queueing to `steer` with a 500ms followup fallback debounce, and document the queue modes, precedence, and drop policies on the command queue page. Thanks @vincentkoc.
+- Messages: add global `messages.visibleReplies` so operators can require visible output to go through `message(action=send)` for any source chat, while `messages.groupChat.visibleReplies` stays available as the group/channel override. Thanks @scoootscooob.
+- Gateway/events: surface `spawnedBy` on subagent chat and agent broadcast payloads so clients can route child session events without an extra session lookup. (#63244) Thanks @samzong.
+- Memory/wiki: add agent-facing people wiki metadata, canonical aliases, person cards, relationship graphs, privacy/provenance reports, evidence-kind drilldown, and search modes for person lookup, question routing, source evidence, and raw claims. Thanks @vincentkoc.
+- Active Memory: add optional per-conversation `allowedChatIds` and `deniedChatIds` filters so operators can enable recall only for selected direct, group, or channel conversations while keeping broad sessions skipped. (#67977) Thanks @quengh.
+- Active Memory: return bounded partial recall summaries when the hidden memory sub-agent times out, including the default temporary-transcript path, so useful recovered context is not discarded. (#73219) Thanks @joeykrug.
+- Gateway/memory: add a read-only `doctor.memory.remHarness` RPC so operator clients can preview bounded REM dreaming output without running mutation paths. (#66673) Thanks @samzong.
+- Providers/NVIDIA: add the NVIDIA provider with API-key onboarding, setup docs, static catalog metadata, and literal model-ref picker support so NVIDIA hosted models can be selected with their provider prefix intact. (#71204) Thanks @eleqtrizit.
+- Models: suppress explicitly configured openai-codex/gpt-5.4-mini inline entries so a stale models config written by `openclaw doctor --fix` cannot bypass the manifest capability block and cause repeated assistant-turn failures when the runtime switches to that model on ChatGPT-backed Codex accounts. Conditional suppressions (e.g. qwen Coding Plan endpoint guards) remain bypassable by explicit user configuration. (#74451) Thanks @0xCyda, @hclsys, and @Marvae.
+- Added SQLite-backed plugin state store (`api.runtime.state.openKeyedStore`) for restart-safe keyed registries with TTL, eviction, and automatic plugin isolation. Thanks @amknight.
+- Plugin SDK: mark remaining legacy alias exports and diffs tool/config aliases with deprecation metadata, and add a guard so future legacy alias comments require `@deprecated` tags. Thanks @vincentkoc.
+- CLI/QR/dependencies: internalize small terminal progress and QR wrapper helpers while keeping the real QR encoder dependency direct, reducing the default runtime dependency graph without changing QR output behavior. Thanks @vincentkoc.
+- Dependencies: refresh workspace runtime, plugin, and tooling packages, including ACP, Pi, AWS SDK, TypeBox, pnpm, oxlint, oxfmt, jsdom, pdfjs, ciao, and tokenjuice, while keeping patched ACP behavior and lint gates current. Thanks @mariozechner.
+- Gateway/dev: run `pnpm gateway:watch` through a named tmux session by default, with `gateway:watch:raw` and `OPENCLAW_GATEWAY_WATCH_TMUX=0` for foreground mode, so repeated starts respawn an inspectable watcher without trapping the invoking agent shell. Thanks @vincentkoc.
+- Gateway/diagnostics: emit an opt-in startup diagnostics timeline that records gateway lifecycle and plugin-load phases behind a config flag, so slow-start diagnosis no longer requires bespoke instrumentation. Thanks @shakkernerd.
+- Control UI/i18n: extend the locale registry with new Persian (fa), Dutch (nl), Vietnamese (vi), Italian (it), Arabic (ar), and Thai (th) entries and ship `fa`, `nl`, `vi`, and `zh-TW` docs glossaries, so the docs translation pipeline and the Control UI language picker stay aligned across surfaces. Thanks @vincentkoc.
+- Channels: add Yuanbao channel docs entrance so the Tencent Yuanbao bot appears in the channel listing and sidebar navigation. (#73443) Thanks @loongfay.
+- Channels/Yuanbao: update plugin GitHub location to YuanbaoTeam/yuanbao-openclaw-plugin and add "yuanbao" alias to channel catalog. (#74253) Thanks @loongfay.
+- Docker setup: add `OPENCLAW_SKIP_ONBOARDING` so automated Docker installs can skip the interactive onboarding step while still applying gateway defaults. (#55518) Thanks @jinjimz.
+- Security policy: classify media/base64 decode and format-conversion overhead after configured acceptance limits as performance-only for GHSA triage unless a report demonstrates a limit bypass, crash, exhaustion, data exposure, or another boundary bypass. (#74311)
+- Security/OpenGrep: add a precise OpenGrep rulepack, source-rule compiler, provenance metadata check, and PR/full scan workflows that validate first-party code and rulepack-only changes while uploading SARIF to GitHub Code Scanning. (#69483) Thanks @jesse-merhi.

 - Agents/plugins: skip malformed plugin tools with missing schema objects and report plugin diagnostics, so one broken tool no longer crashes Anthropic agent runs. Fixes #69423. Thanks @jmnickels.
+- Dashboard: log a CVE-safe self-recovery hint pointing users to `OPENCLAW_GATEWAY_TOKEN`, `gateway.auth.token`, and fragment key `token` when neither clipboard nor browser delivery places the token-bearing URL within reach, so headless and WSL invocations are not stranded on the bare URL. Fixes #72081. Thanks @praveen9354 and @BunsDev.
 - Agents/reasoning: recover fully wrapped unclosed `<think>` replies that would otherwise sanitize to empty text while keeping strict stripping for closed reasoning blocks and unclosed tails after visible text. Fixes #37696; supersedes #51915. Thanks @druide67 and @okuyam2y.
 - Control UI/Gateway: bind WebChat handshakes to their active socket and reject post-close server registrations, so aborted connects no longer leave zombie clients or misleading duplicate WebSocket connection logs. Fixes #72753. Thanks @LumenFromTheFuture.
 - Agents/fallback: split ambiguous provider failures into `empty_response`, `no_error_details`, and `unclassified`, and add flat fallback-step fields to structured fallback logs so primary-model failures stay visible when later fallbacks also fail.
