 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.

+description: Use Crabbox for OpenClaw remote Linux validation, warmed reusable boxes, GitHub Actions hydration, sync timing, logs, results, caches, and lease cleanup.
+---
+
+# Crabbox
+
+Use Crabbox when OpenClaw needs remote Linux proof on owned capacity, a large
+runner class, reusable warm state, or a Blacksmith alternative.
+
+## Before Running
+
+- 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.
+- Install with `brew install openclaw/tap/crabbox`; auth is required before use:
+  `printf '%s' "$CRABBOX_COORDINATOR_TOKEN" | crabbox login --url https://crabbox-coordinator.steipete.workers.dev --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
+
+Warm a reusable box:
+
+```sh
+pnpm crabbox:warmup -- --idle-timeout 90m
+```
+
+Hydrate it through the repository workflow:
+
+```sh
+pnpm crabbox:hydrate -- --id <cbx_id-or-slug>
+```
+
+Run broad proof:
+
+```sh
+pnpm crabbox:run -- --id <cbx_id-or-slug> --shell "OPENCLAW_TESTBOX=1 pnpm check:changed"
+pnpm crabbox:run -- --id <cbx_id-or-slug> --shell "corepack enable && pnpm install --frozen-lockfile && pnpm test"
+```
+
+Stop boxes you created before handoff:
+
+```sh
+pnpm crabbox:stop -- <cbx_id-or-slug>
+```
+
+## Useful Commands
+
+```sh
+crabbox status --id <id-or-slug> --wait
+crabbox inspect --id <id-or-slug> --json
+crabbox sync-plan
+crabbox history --lease <id-or-slug>
+crabbox logs <run_id>
+crabbox results <run_id>
+crabbox cache stats --id <id-or-slug>
+crabbox ssh --id <id-or-slug>
+```
+
+Use `--debug` on `run` when measuring sync timing.
+
+## Hydration Boundary
+
+`.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.
+
+Do not add OpenClaw-specific setup to Crabbox. Put repo setup in the hydration
+workflow and generic lease/sync behavior in Crabbox.
+
+## 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.

+Execute, do not summarize.
+Triage does not commit, push, create PRs, comment, close, label, land, or merge.
+
+## Peter Review Gate
+
+Peter always wants to review code before commits.
+After local fixes and proof, stop with the diff summary, touched files, and test/gate output.
+Do not commit unless Peter writes `commit` in the current instruction for the exact diff being handled.
+Do not treat earlier messages, inferred intent, "next", sweep momentum, or bundled publish language as commit permission.
+If Peter asks for follow-up work without saying `commit`, keep the files dirty after local fixes and proof.
+Do not push, comment, close, label, land, merge, or otherwise publish until Peter explicitly asks for that exact action after the code has been reviewed.
+If Peter asks for a bundled action like `commit push close`, first confirm the code has already been reviewed in chat; if not, stop with the dirty diff and ask for review/approval.
+
+## Companion Skills
+
+Use `$gitcrawl` first, `$openclaw-pr-maintainer` for live GitHub hygiene, `$github-deep-review` posture for source tracing, and `$openclaw-testing` for proof.
+
+## Loop
+
+For each ref:
+
+1. Read live target with `gh`.
+2. Check `gitcrawl` for related, duplicate, closed, or already-fixed threads.
+3. Read body, comments, linked refs, changed files, current code, adjacent tests, and dependency contracts when relevant.
+4. Trace the real runtime path.
+5. For issues: fix locally only if this is a bug, current code proves root cause, the implicated path is clear, and a narrow patch is cleaner than refactor.
+6. For PRs: decide `ready-to-merge`, `needs-fixup`, or `skip`; do not alter PR branches unless explicitly asked.
+7. Add focused regression proof when practical for local issue fixes or PR readiness checks.
+8. Run the smallest meaningful gate.
+9. Continue until every pasted ref is fixed or classified.
+
+No subagents unless explicitly requested.
+
+## Skip If
+
+- not a bug
+- config/docs/workflow/release/support/dependency/product work
+- repro or root cause is uncertain
+- larger refactor or owner-boundary change is cleaner
+- already fixed on current `main`
+- dependency behavior is guessed
+- no focused proof is feasible
+
+Skip with terse reason. Do not pad with low-confidence fixes.
+
+## Fix Rules
+
+- owner module first; generic seam only when required
+- existing patterns/helpers/types
+- no drive-by refactors
+- tests near failing surface
+- docs only for changed public behavior
+- no commit unless Peter writes `commit` in the current instruction
+- no push/create PR/comment/close/label/land/merge unless explicitly asked for that exact action after review
+
+## PR Rules
+
+- `ready-to-merge`: code is good, current head checked, required proof is green or clearly pending only external CI; list for maintainer merge or `@clawsweeper automerge`
+- `needs-fixup`: small bug is clear, but PR branch needs changes; list exact files/tests and wait for explicit fix/push/automerge instruction
+- `skip`: broad, stale, speculative, config/product/security/release, owner-boundary, or refactor-sized
+- if source PR is untrusted/uneditable, do not create a replacement PR during sweep
+
+## Output Shape
+
+Ledger: `fixed-local`, `ready-to-merge`, `needs-fixup`, `skipped`, `needs-human`.
+Final: issue files left on disk, PRs ready for merge/automerge, tests/gates, skip reasons.

 Use this skill for test-memory investigations. Do not guess from RSS alone when heap snapshots are available. Treat snapshot-name deltas as triage evidence, not proof, until retainers or dominators support the call.
 
+For **runtime fixes** (e.g., closure leaks in long-running services like the gateway), see [Validating runtime fixes](#validating-runtime-fixes-not-test-memory) below — that uses a dedicated harness, not the test-parallel snapshot machinery.

@@ -63,6 +65,38 @@ Use this skill for test-memory investigations. Do not guess from RSS alone when
 
 Read the top positive deltas first. Large positive growth in module-transform artifacts suggests lane isolation; large positive growth in runtime objects suggests a real leak. If the names alone do not settle it, open the same snapshot pair in DevTools and inspect retainers/dominators for the top rows before declaring root cause.
 
+## Validating runtime fixes (not test-memory)
+
+The workflow above is for diagnosing Vitest worker memory growth. For
+validating that a runtime/closure fix actually releases captured state, use the
+dedicated harness:
+
+- `pnpm leak:embedded-run` — runs `scripts/embedded-run-abort-leak.ts`. Loops N
+  aborted runs in a function-shaped scope mimicking `runEmbeddedAttempt`,
+  writes heap snapshots, and reports a PASS/FAIL verdict on retention growth
+  using `FinalizationRegistry` for tracked-instance counting plus RSS delta.
+
+Modes:
+
+- `closure-extracted` (default) — production fix shape (helper at module scope).
+- `closure-inline` — pre-fix shape (closure inside the runner scope). Use as a
+  sensitivity check: if it passes you've broken the harness, not fixed a bug.
+- `synthetic-leak` — deliberately retains via a module-level bucket. Use to
+  confirm the harness can detect leaks before trusting a PASS on a real fix.
+
+Snapshots land in `.tmp/embedded-run-abort-leak/`. Diff with the same script
+as above:
+
+```
+node .agents/skills/openclaw-test-heap-leaks/scripts/heapsnapshot-delta.mjs \
+  .tmp/embedded-run-abort-leak/baseline-*.heapsnapshot \
+  .tmp/embedded-run-abort-leak/batch-N-*.heapsnapshot --top 30
+```
+
+When fixing a different runtime leak, add a new harness alongside this one
+rather than retrofitting it. The fixture function should mimic the lexical
+scope of the function where the leak lives, not be a generic abort-loop.

 - Memory wiki: keep prompt digest tiny. The prompt should only say the wiki exists, prefer `wiki_search` / `wiki_get`, start from `reports/person-agent-directory.md` for people routing, use search modes (`find-person`, `route-question`, `source-evidence`, `raw-claim`) when useful, and verify contact data before use.

 ### Changes
 
-- 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.
-- 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.
-- 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.
-- 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.
-- 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/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.
-- 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.
-- Channels: add Yuanbao channel docs entrance so the Tencent Yuanbao bot appears in the channel listing and sidebar navigation. (#73443) Thanks @loongfay.
-- 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.
-- Added SQLite-backed plugin state store (`api.runtime.state.openKeyedStore`) for restart-safe keyed registries with TTL, eviction, and automatic plugin isolation. Thanks @amknight.
-- 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.
-- Docker setup: add `OPENCLAW_SKIP_ONBOARDING` so automated Docker installs can skip the interactive onboarding step while still applying gateway defaults. (#55518) Thanks @jinjimz.
-- 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.
-- 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.
-- 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.
-- 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.
-- 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.
+- Docs/Codex: clarify that ChatGPT/Codex subscription setups should use `openai/gpt-*` with `agentRuntime.id: "codex"` for native Codex runtime, while `openai-codex/*` remains the PI OAuth route. Thanks @pashpashpash.
+- Plugins/source checkout: load bundled plugins from the `extensions/*` pnpm workspace tree in source checkouts, so plugin-local dependencies and edits are used directly while packaged installs keep using the built runtime tree. Thanks @vincentkoc.
+- Plugins/beta: prepare BlueBubbles, diagnostics Prometheus, Google Meet, Nextcloud Talk, Nostr, Zalo, and Zalo Personal for `2026.5.1-beta.2` npm and ClawHub publishing. Thanks @vincentkoc.
+- Plugins/beta: prepare Brave, Codex, Feishu, Synology Chat, Tlon, and Twitch for `2026.5.1-beta.1` npm and ClawHub publishing. Thanks @vincentkoc.
+- Providers/xAI: add Grok 4.3 to the bundled catalog and make it the default xAI chat model.
+- Plugins/ClawHub: prefer versioned ClawPack artifacts when ClawHub publishes digest metadata, verifying the ClawPack response header and downloaded bytes before installing. Thanks @vincentkoc.
+- Plugins/ClawHub: persist ClawPack digest metadata on ClawHub plugin install and update records so registry refreshes and download verification can reuse stored artifact facts. Thanks @vincentkoc.
+- Plugins/ClawHub: allow official bundled-plugin cutovers to prefer ClawHub installs with npm fallback only when the ClawHub package or version is absent. Thanks @vincentkoc.
+- Plugins/Crestodian: add ClawHub plugin search plus Crestodian plugin list/search/install/uninstall operations, with approval and audit coverage for install and uninstall.
+- Providers/OpenAI: add `extraBody`/`extra_body` passthrough for OpenAI-compatible TTS endpoints, so custom speech servers can receive fields such as `lang` in `/audio/speech` requests. Fixes #39900. Thanks @R3NK0R.
+- Dependencies: refresh workspace dependency pins, including TypeBox 1.1.37, AWS SDK 3.1041.0, Microsoft Teams 2.0.9, and Marked 18.0.3. Thanks @mariozechner, @aws, and @microsoft.
+- Discord/channels: add reusable message-channel access groups plus Discord channel-audience DM authorization, so allowlists can reference `accessGroup:<name>` across channel auth paths. (#75813)
 
 ### Fixes
 
+- Cron: make scheduler reload schedule comparison tolerate malformed persisted jobs, so one bad cron entry no longer aborts the whole tick. Fixes #75886. Thanks @samfox-ai.
+- Doctor/channels: warn after migrations when default Telegram or Discord accounts have no configured token and their env fallback (`TELEGRAM_BOT_TOKEN` or `DISCORD_BOT_TOKEN`) is unavailable, with secret-safe migration docs for checking state-dir `.env`. Fixes #74298. Thanks @lolaopenclaw.
+- Control UI/chat: keep live replies visible when a raw session alias such as `main` sends the chat turn but Gateway emits events under the canonical session key for the same run. Fixes #73716. Thanks @teebes.
+- CLI/models: reject `--agent` on `openclaw models set` and `set-image` instead of silently writing agent-scoped requests to global model defaults. Fixes #68391. Thanks @derrickabellard.
+- CLI: stop treating the legacy singular `openclaw tool ...` token as a plugin id under restrictive `plugins.allow`, so it falls through as a normal unknown/reserved command instead of suggesting a stale allowlist entry. Fixes #64732. Thanks @efe-arv, @SweetSophia, and @hashtag1974.
+- Media: write inbound media buffers through same-directory temp files before rename, so failed disk writes do not leave zero-byte artifacts for later voice transcription. Fixes #55966. Thanks @OpenCodeEngineer.
+- TTS/Telegram: keep trusted local audio generated by the TTS tool queued for voice-note delivery even when the run-level built-in tool list omits the raw `tts` name. Fixes #74752. Thanks @Loveworld3033 and @andyliu.
+- TTS: require explicit user or config audio intent for the agent speech tool so dashboard chats stay text unless audio is requested. Fixes #69777. Thanks @alexandre-leng.
+- Plugins/config: keep bundled source-checkout plugins from being runtime-gated by install-only `minHostVersion` metadata, accept prerelease host floors, trim plugin-service startup failures to one log line, and avoid broad channel-runtime loading during base config parsing. Thanks @vincentkoc.
+- Heartbeat: strip legacy `[TOOL_CALL]...[/TOOL_CALL]` and `[TOOL_RESULT]...[/TOOL_RESULT]` pseudo-call blocks from heartbeat replies before channel delivery. Fixes #54138. Thanks @Deniable9570.
+- macOS/Voice Wake: send wake-word and Push-to-Talk transcripts through the selected macOS session target instead of always falling back to main WebChat. Fixes #51040. Thanks @carl-jeffrolc.
+- Providers/xAI: give Grok `web_search` a 60s default timeout, harden malformed xAI Responses parsing, and return structured timeout errors instead of aborting the tool call. Fixes #58063 and #58733. Thanks @dnishimura, @marvcasasola-svg, and @Nanako0129.
+- Providers/configure: preserve the existing default model when adding or reauthing a provider whose plugin returns a default-model config patch. Fixes #50268. Thanks @rixcorp-oc.
+- Slack/message actions: send media before the follow-up Block Kit message when Slack `send` includes a file plus presentation or interactive controls, so file attachments are no longer rejected. Fixes #51458. Thanks @HirokiKobayashi-R.
+- Slack/DMs: honor `dmHistoryLimit` for fresh 1:1 Slack DM sessions by backfilling recent conversation history before the current reply. Fixes #64427. Thanks @brantley-creator.
+- Slack/DMs: keep top-level direct messages on the stable DM session even when `replyToMode` targets Slack thread replies, preserving context across DM turns. Fixes #58832. Thanks @daye-jjeong.
+- Slack/mentions: resolve `<!subteam^...>` user-group mentions through Slack `usergroups.users.list` and treat them as explicit mentions only when the bot user is a member, so mention-gated agent channels wake for real user-group mentions without config-only allowlists. Fixes #73827. Thanks @CG-Intelligence-Agent-Jack.
+- Slack/message tool: let `read` fetch an exact Slack message timestamp, including a specific thread reply when paired with `threadId`, instead of returning only the parent thread or recent channel history. Fixes #53943. Thanks @zomars.
+- Web search: point missing-key errors to `web_fetch` for known URLs and the browser tool for interactive pages. Thanks @zhaoyang97.
+- Web search: late-bind managed agent `web_search` calls to the current runtime config snapshot, so existing sessions do not keep stale unresolved SecretRefs after secrets reload. Fixes #75420. Thanks @richardmqq.
+- Web search: honor `baseUrl` overrides for Gemini, Grok, and x_search provider-owned config, so proxy-backed search tools no longer dial hardcoded public endpoints. Supersedes #61972. Thanks @Lanfei.
+- Web fetch: resolve external plugin `webFetchProviders` for non-sandboxed `web_fetch`, while keeping sandboxed fetches limited to bundled providers. Fixes #74915. Thanks @ultrahighsuper and @mingmingtsao.
+- Heartbeat: strip legacy `[TOOL_CALL]...[/TOOL_CALL]` and `[TOOL_RESULT]...[/TOOL_RESULT]` pseudo-call blocks from heartbeat replies before channel delivery. Fixes #54138. Thanks @Deniable9570.
+- macOS/Voice Wake: send wake-word and Push-to-Talk transcripts through the selected macOS session target instead of always falling back to main WebChat. Fixes #51040. Thanks @carl-jeffrolc.
+- Providers/xAI: give Grok `web_search` a 60s default timeout, harden malformed xAI Responses parsing, and return structured timeout errors instead of aborting the tool call. Fixes #58063 and #58733. Thanks @dnishimura, @marvcasasola-svg, and @Nanako0129.
+- Slack/directory: make `openclaw directory peers/groups list --channel slack` prefer token-backed live readers and return the connected Slack account from `directory self`, so valid Slack tokens no longer produce empty directory CLI results. Fixes #50776. Thanks @pjaillon.
+- Slack: keep the assistant typing status and temporary typing reaction active for group/channel turns that use message-tool-only visible replies, while still suppressing automatic source replies. Fixes #75877. Thanks @teosborne.
+- Slack: recover full inbound DM text from top-level rich-text blocks when Slack sends a shortened message preview, so long direct messages still reach the agent intact. Fixes #55358. Thanks @tonyjwinter.
+- Replies: strip legacy `[TOOL_CALL]{tool => ..., args => ...}[/TOOL_CALL]` pseudo-call text from user-facing replies and flag it in tool-call diagnostics instead of showing raw tool syntax in channels. Fixes #63610. Thanks @canh0chua.
+- WhatsApp: close long-lived web sockets through Baileys `end(error)` before falling back to raw websocket close, so listener teardown runs Baileys cleanup instead of leaving zombie sockets. Fixes #52442. Thanks @essendigitalgroup-cyber.
+- Twitch/plugins: emit a flat JSON Schema for Twitch channel config so single-account and multi-account configs validate before runtime load, and add source-checkout diagnostics for missing pnpm workspace dependencies. Thanks @vincentkoc.
+- Gateway/sessions: move hot transcript reads and mirror appends onto async bounded IO with serialized parent-linked writes, keeping large session histories from stalling Gateway requests and channel replies. Fixes #75656. Thanks @DerFlash.
+- macOS/Talk Mode: downmix multi-channel microphone buffers before handing them to Apple Speech across Push-to-Talk, Talk Mode, Voice Wake, and the wake-word tester, so pro audio interfaces no longer produce empty transcripts. Fixes #42533. Thanks @jbuecker.
+- macOS/Talk Mode: subscribe native WebChat to active-session transcript updates and render external spoken user turns in the chat thread instead of only showing assistant replies. Fixes #75155. Thanks @SledderBling.
+- macOS/Voice Wake: accept trigger-only phrases in the built-in Voice Wake test, matching the settings UI and runtime trigger-only path instead of requiring extra command text after the wake word. Fixes #64986. Thanks @zoiks65.
+- Cron/TTS: run cron announce payloads through the normal TTS directive transform before outbound delivery, so scheduled `[[tts]]` replies generate voice payloads instead of leaking raw tags. Fixes #52125. Thanks @kenchen3000.
+- WhatsApp: save downloadable quoted image media from reply context as inbound media, so agents can inspect an image that a user replied to instead of only seeing `<media:image>`. Fixes #59174. Thanks @gaffner.
+- Doctor/WhatsApp: warn when Linux crontabs still run the legacy `ensure-whatsapp.sh` health check, which can misreport `Gateway inactive` when cron lacks the systemd user-bus environment. Fixes #60204. Thanks @mySebbe.
+- Slack/setup: print the generated app manifest as plain JSON instead of embedding it inside the framed setup note, so it can be copied into Slack without deleting border characters. Fixes #65751. Thanks @theDanielJLewis.
+- Channels/WhatsApp: route CLI logout through the live Gateway and stop runtime-backed listeners before channel removal, so removing a WhatsApp account does not leave the old socket replying until restart. Fixes #67746. Thanks @123Mismail.
+- Voice Call/Twilio: honor TTS directive text and provider voice/model overrides during telephony synthesis, so `[[tts:...]]` tags are not spoken literally and voiceId overrides reach OpenAI/ElevenLabs calls. Fixes #58114. Thanks @legonhilltech-jpg.
+- Agents/session-locks: reclaim untracked current-process session locks with matching starttime during acquisition and startup cleanup, so Gateway restarts recover from self-owned orphan `.jsonl.lock` files. Fixes #75805; refs #49603. Thanks @cdznho.
+- Agents/subagents: initialize built-in context engines before native `sessions_spawn` resolves spawn preparation, so cliBackend-only cold starts no longer fail with an unregistered `legacy` context engine. Fixes #73095. (#73904) Thanks @brokemac79.
+- Agents/Codex: stop prompting message-tool-only source turns to finish with `NO_REPLY`, so quiet turns are represented by not calling the visible message tool instead of conflicting final-text instructions. Thanks @pashpashpash.
+- Gateway/config: report failed backup restores as failed in logs and config observe audit records instead of marking them valid. (#70515) Thanks @davidangularme.
+- Compaction: use the active session model fallback chain for implicit summarization failures without persisting fallback model selection, so Azure content-filter 400s can recover. Fixes #64960. (#74470) Thanks @jalehman and @OpenCodeEngineer.
+- Gateway/config: allow `gateway config.patch` to update documented subagent thinking defaults. Fixes #75764. (#75802) Thanks @kAIborg24.
+- Plugins/CLI: keep git plugin install paths credential-free, preserve existing git checkouts until replacement succeeds, honor duplicate npm install mode, and remove managed git repos on uninstall. Thanks @vincentkoc.
+- Plugins/CLI: redact authenticated git URLs from git install command failure details, so failed clone or checkout output cannot leak credentials during plugin installs. Thanks @vincentkoc.
+- Channels/status reactions: remove stale non-terminal lifecycle reactions when a run reaches done or error, so Discord does not leave a permanent thinking emoji after completion. Fixes #75458. Thanks @davelutztx.
+- Discord/doctor: migrate unsupported per-channel `agentId` entries under guild channel config into top-level `bindings[]` routes, so `openclaw doctor --fix` preserves the intended agent route instead of stripping it as an unknown key. Fixes #62455. Thanks @lobster-biscuit.
+- Discord/DMs: set inbound direct-message `ctx.To` to the semantic `user:<id>` target while keeping delivery routed through the DM channel, so mirror and recovery paths do not treat DMs as channel conversations. Fixes #68126. Thanks @illuminate0623.
+- Discord/DMs: keep no-guild inbound messages on direct-message routing when Discord channel lookup is temporarily unavailable, preventing degraded DMs from forking into channel sessions. Fixes #59817. Thanks @DooPeePey.
+- Discord: retry outbound API calls on HTTP 5xx, request-timeout, and transient transport failures instead of only Discord rate limits, reducing dropped cron and agent replies during short Discord or network outages. Fixes #52396. Thanks @sunshineo.
+- Discord: include Components v2 Text Display content from referenced replies and forwarded snapshots, so component-only messages still appear in reply context. Fixes #56228. Thanks @HollandDrive.
+- Discord: add configurable gateway READY timeouts for startup and runtime reconnects, so staggered multi-account setups can avoid false restart loops. Fixes #72273. Thanks @sergionsantos.
+- Discord: preserve native slash-command description localizations through command reconcile, so localized Discord descriptions no longer get overwritten by English defaults. Fixes #56580. Thanks @mhseo93.
+- Discord: add configured outbound mention aliases so known `@Name` references can be rewritten to real Discord user mentions instead of relying only on the transient directory cache. Fixes #67587. Thanks @McoreD.
+- Discord: avoid startup REST amplification by skipping native command deploy retries after Discord rate limits and deriving the bot id from parseable bot tokens instead of requiring a `/users/@me` lookup. Fixes #75341. Thanks @PrinceOfEgypt.
+- Plugins/hooks: derive hook `ctx.channelId` from the conversation target instead of the provider name, so Discord and other channel plugins can keep per-channel state isolated. Fixes #59881. Thanks @bradfreels.
+- Gateway/config: log config health-state write failures instead of silently hiding config observe-recovery write errors. Thanks @sallyom.
+- Diagnostics: reset stuck-session timers on reply, tool, status, block, and ACP progress events, and back off repeated `session.stuck` diagnostics while a session remains unchanged. Supersedes #72010. Thanks @rubencu.
+
+## 2026.4.30
+
+### Changes
+
+- Dependencies: refresh bundled runtime and plugin dependency pins, including Pi 0.71.1, OpenAI 6.35.0, Codex 0.128.0, Zod 4.4.1, and Matrix 41.4.0. Thanks @mariozechner.
+- Agents/workspace: add `agents.defaults.skipOptionalBootstrapFiles` for skipping selected optional workspace files during bootstrap without disabling required workspace setup. (#62110) Thanks @mainstay22.
+- Plugins/CLI: add first-class `git:` plugin installs with ref checkout, commit metadata, normal scanner/staging, and `plugins update` support for recorded git sources. Thanks @badlogic.
+- Google Meet: add live caption health for Chrome transcribe mode, including caption observer state, transcript counters, last caption text, and recent transcript lines in status and doctor output. Refs #72478. Thanks @DougButdorf.
+- Voice Call/Google Meet: add Twilio Meet join phase logs around pre-connect DTMF, realtime stream setup, and initial greeting handoff for easier live-call debugging. Thanks @donkeykong91 and @PfanP.
+- macOS app: move recent session context rows into a Context submenu while keeping usage and cost details root-level, so the menu bar companion stays compact with many active sessions. Thanks @guti.
+- Gateway/SDK: add SDK-facing tools.invoke RPC with shared HTTP policy, typed approval/refusal results, and SDK helper support. Refs #74705. Thanks @BunsDev and @ai-hpc.
+- Discord: keep active buttons, selects, and forms working across Gateway restarts until they expire, so multi-step Discord interactions are less likely to break during upgrades or restarts. Thanks @amknight.
+- Messages/docs: clarify that `BodyForAgent` is the primary inbound model text while `Body` is the legacy envelope fallback, and add Signal coverage so channel hardening patches target the real prompt path. Refs #66198. Thanks @defonota3box.
+- Slack: publish a safe default App Home tab view on `app_home_opened` and include the Home tab event in setup manifests. Fixes #11655; refs #52020. Thanks @TinyTb.
+- Slack: keep track of bot-participated threads across restarts, so ongoing threaded conversations can continue auto-replying after the Gateway is restarted. Thanks @amknight.
+- Control UI/Usage: add UTC quarter-hour token buckets for the Usage Mosaic and reuse them for hour filtering, keeping the legacy session-span fallback for older summaries. (#74337) Thanks @konanok.
+- BlueBubbles: add opt-in `channels.bluebubbles.replyContextApiFallback` that fetches the original message from the BlueBubbles HTTP API when the in-memory reply-context cache misses (multi-instance deployments sharing one BB account, post-restart, after long-lived TTL/LRU eviction). Off by default; channel-level setting propagates to accounts that omit the flag through `mergeAccountConfig`; routed through the typed `BlueBubblesClient` so every fetch is SSRF-guarded by the same three-mode policy as every other BB client request; reply-id shape is validated and part-index prefixes (`p:0/<guid>`) are stripped before the request; concurrent webhooks for the same `replyToId` coalesce into one fetch and successful responses populate the reply cache for subsequent hits. Also promotes BlueBubbles attachment download failures from verbose to runtime error so silently-dropped inbound images are visible at default log level, and extends `sanitizeForLog` to redact `?password=…`/`?token=…` query params and `Authorization:` headers before they reach the log sink (CWE-532). (#71820) Thanks @coletebou and @zqchris.
+- CLI/proxy: add `openclaw proxy validate` so operators can verify effective proxy configuration, proxy reachability, and expected allow/deny destination behavior before deploying proxy-routed OpenClaw commands. (#73438) Thanks @jesse-merhi.
+- Agents/Codex: default Codex app-server dynamic tools to native-first, keeping OpenClaw integration tools while leaving file, patch, exec, and process ownership to the Codex harness. (#75308) Thanks @pashpashpash.
+- 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.
+
+### Fixes
+
+- fix: block workspace CLOUDSDK_PYTHON override and always set trusted interpreter for gcloud. (#74492) Thanks @pgondhi987.
+- Providers/Z.AI: move the bundled GLM catalog and auth env metadata into the plugin manifest, so `models list --all --provider zai` shows the full known catalog without duplicated runtime seed data. Thanks @shakkernerd.
+- Providers/Qianfan and Providers/Stepfun: declare setup auth metadata (`api-key` method, `QIANFAN_API_KEY`, `STEPFUN_API_KEY`) in the plugin manifest so onboarding and `models setup` surface the expected env var without falling back to legacy `providerAuthEnvVars` runtime seed data. Thanks @shakkernerd.
+- fix(infra): block ambient Homebrew env vars from brew resolution. (#74463) Thanks @pgondhi987.
+- Onboarding/configure: avoid staging every default plugin runtime dependency after config writes, so skipped setup flows only prepare config-selected plugin deps instead of pulling broad feature-plugin packages. Thanks @vincentkoc.
+- Thinking/providers: resolve bundled provider thinking profiles through lightweight provider policy artifacts when startup-lazy providers are not active, so OpenAI Codex GPT-5.x keeps xhigh available in Gateway session validation. Fixes #74796. Thanks @maxschachere.
+- Security/Windows: ignore workspace `.env` system-path variables and resolve stale-process `taskkill.exe` from the validated Windows install root, preventing repository-local env files from redirecting cleanup helpers. Thanks @pgondhi987.
+- CLI/plugins: refresh persisted plugin registry policy in place for `plugins enable` and `plugins disable`, so routine toggles no longer rebuild and hash every plugin source when the target is already indexed. Thanks @vincentkoc.
+- CLI/plugins: scope install and enable slot selection to the selected plugin manifest/runtime fallback, so plugin installs no longer load every plugin runtime or broad status snapshot just to update memory/context slots. Thanks @vincentkoc.
+- Plugins/TTS: keep bundled speech-provider discovery available on cold package Gateway paths and add bundled plugin matrix runtime probes for health, readiness, RPC, TTS discovery, and post-ready runtime-deps watchdog coverage. Refs #75283. Thanks @vincentkoc.
+- Google Meet/Twilio: show delegated voice call ID, DTMF, and intro-greeting state in `googlemeet doctor`, and avoid claiming DTMF was sent when no Meet PIN sequence was configured. Refs #72478. Thanks @DougButdorf.
+- Plugins/tools: prefer built bundled plugin code during tool discovery and skip channel runtime hydration while preserving companion provider registrations, reducing per-run plugin-tool prep cost without dropping executable plugin tools. Fixes #75290. Thanks @thanos-openclaw.
+- Plugins/loader: scope plugin-tool registry reuse to the enabled plugin plan and stored Gateway method keys, so embedded runner tool lookup can reuse compatible startup registries without hiding enabled non-startup plugin tools. Fixes #75520. Thanks @whtoo.
+- Voice Call/Twilio: send notify-mode initial TwiML directly in the outbound create-call request while keeping conversation and pre-connect DTMF calls webhook-driven, so one-shot notify calls do not depend on a first-answer webhook fetch. Supersedes #72758. Thanks @tyshepps.
+- Discord/Slack: defer status-reaction cleanup until run finalization so queued, thinking, tool, and terminal reactions no longer flicker during normal progress updates. (#75582)
+- Discord/voice: leave Discord voice off for text-only configs unless `channels.discord.voice` is explicitly configured, avoiding default `GuildVoiceStates` traffic and idle gateway CPU pressure for bots that do not use `/vc`. Fixes #73753; refs #74044. Thanks @sanchezm86 and @SecureCloudProjO.
+- Discord/voice: rerun configured voice auto-join after Discord gateway RESUMED events and ignore already-destroyed stale voice connections during reconnect cleanup, so health-monitor account restarts can rejoin configured channels. Fixes #40665. Thanks @liz709.
+- Plugins/CLI: reuse the cold manifest registry while building plugin status and inspect reports, so large configured plugin sets no longer rediscover the bundled/plugin registry once per inspect row. Thanks @vincentkoc.
+- Discord/voice: lengthen the default voice join Ready wait, add configurable `voice.connectTimeoutMs`/`voice.reconnectGraceMs`, and warn before destroying unrecovered disconnected sessions so slow Discord voice handshakes and reconnects no longer fail silently. Fixes #63098; refs #39825 and #65039. Thanks @darealgege, @kzicherman, and @ayochim.
+- Gateway/health: refresh cached health RPC snapshots when channel runtime state diverges, so Discord and other channel status reads no longer report stale running or connected values until the cache TTL expires. (#75423)
+- Gateway/sessions: keep session-store reads from running stale prune and entry-count cap maintenance during startup, so oversized stores no longer block chat history readiness after updates while writes and `sessions cleanup --enforce` still preserve the cleanup safeguards. Fixes #70050. Thanks @tangda18.
+- Security/audit: keep plain `security audit` on the cold config/filesystem path and reserve plugin runtime security collectors for `--deep`, so large plugin installs cannot execute every plugin runtime during routine audits. Thanks @vincentkoc.
+- Discord/voice: merge configured media-understanding providers such as Deepgram into partial active provider registries, so follow-up voice turns keep transcribing after another media plugin is already active. Fixes #65687. Thanks @OneMintJulep.
+- WhatsApp: stage `qrcode` through root mirrored runtime dependencies so packaged QR pairing can render from staged plugin-runtime-deps installs. Fixes #75394. Thanks @FelipeX2001.
+- Discord/voice: apply per-channel Discord `systemPrompt` overrides to voice transcript turns by forwarding the trusted channel prompt through the voice agent run. Fixes #47095. Thanks @qearlyao.
+- Discord/native commands: send component-only interaction replies from slash command and status handlers instead of treating renderable Discord components as an empty response. Thanks @vincentkoc.
+- Slack/slash commands: send block-only slash command replies instead of dropping Slack block payloads with no plain-text fallback. Thanks @vincentkoc.
+- Telegram/messages: derive fallback text from interactive button/select labels before sending button-only payloads, so Telegram replies are not rejected as empty messages. Thanks @vincentkoc.
+- LINE/messages: send quick-reply-only payloads with fallback option text instead of accepting the payload and returning an empty delivery. Thanks @vincentkoc.
+- Auto-reply/docking: require `/dock-*` route switches to start from direct chats, so group or channel participants cannot reroute a shared session's future replies into a linked DM. Thanks @vincentkoc.
+- Discord: keep text-DM main-session route updates pinned to the configured DM owner, matching component interactions so another direct-message sender cannot redirect future main-session replies. Thanks @vincentkoc.
+- Mattermost/Matrix: keep direct-message main-session route updates pinned to the configured DM owner so paired or temporarily allowed senders cannot redirect future shared-session replies. Thanks @vincentkoc.
+- Discord: keep SecretRef-backed bot tokens discoverable for message actions without resolving the token during schema generation, and resolve scoped channel SecretRefs before outbound agent message sends even when the tool is built from a config snapshot. Fixes #75324. Thanks @slideshow-dingo and @Conan-Scott.
+- Updates: run package post-install doctor repair with the managed Gateway service profile and state paths when a daemon is installed, so shell/profile mismatches no longer repair the caller state while the restarted Gateway keeps stale config. Thanks @vincentkoc.
+- Models/DeepInfra: declare DeepInfra manifest catalog discovery and derive its runtime fallback catalog from the manifest, restoring provider-filtered `models list --all --provider deepinfra` rows without duplicated static model data. Thanks @shakkernerd.
+- CLI/update: verify managed gateway restarts against the installed service port instead of the caller shell port, so package updates do not report a healthy daemon as failed when profiles use different gateway ports. Thanks @vincentkoc.
+- Gateway/agent: reject strict `openclaw agent --deliver` requests with missing delivery targets before starting the agent run, so users do not wait for a completed turn that cannot send anywhere. Thanks @vincentkoc.
+- Setup/import: honor non-interactive `--import-from` onboarding flags by running the migration import path instead of silently completing normal setup without importing anything. Thanks @vincentkoc.
+- Discord/voice: run voice-channel turns under a voice-output policy that hides the agent `tts` tool and asks for spoken reply text, so `/vc join` sessions synthesize and play agent replies instead of ending with `NO_REPLY`. Fixes #61536. Thanks @aounakram.
+- Doctor/plugins: keep plain `doctor --non-interactive` from installing bundled plugin runtime dependencies, so headless health checks report missing deps while `doctor --fix` remains the explicit repair path. Thanks @vincentkoc.
+- Doctor/gateway: require an interactive confirmation before installing or rewriting the Gateway service, so `doctor --fix --non-interactive` can repair plugin/config drift without replacing the operator's launchd/systemd service from a temporary environment. Thanks @vincentkoc.
+- Plugins/runtime-deps: include packaged OpenClaw identity in bundled plugin loader cache keys, so same-path package upgrades stop reusing stale versioned runtime-deps mirrors. Fixes #75045. Thanks @sahilsatralkar.
+- Plugin SDK: restore reply-prefix and reply-pipeline helpers on the deprecated root/compat SDK surface so external plugins still using `openclaw/plugin-sdk` do not fail message dispatch after update. Fixes #75171. Thanks @zhangxiliang.
+- Plugins/runtime-deps: prune inactive same-package versioned runtime-deps roots after bundled dependency repair, so upgrades do not leave old `openclaw-<version>-<hash>` package caches behind after doctor runs. Thanks @vincentkoc.
+- Plugins/runtime-deps: prune legacy version-scoped plugin runtime-deps roots during bundled dependency repair and cover the path in Package Acceptance's upgrade-survivor matrix, so upgrades from 2026.4.x no longer leave stale per-plugin runtime trees after doctor runs. Thanks @vincentkoc.
+- Plugins/runtime-deps: keep Gateway startup plugin imports and runtime plugin fallback loads verify-only after startup/config repair planning, so packaged installs no longer spawn package-manager repair from hot paths after readiness. Refs #75283 and #75069. Thanks @brokemac79 and @xiaohuaxi.
+- Plugins/runtime-deps: treat package.json runtime-deps manifests as supersets when generated materialization metadata is absent, so bundled plugin activation stops restaging already-installed dependency subsets on every activation. Fixes #75429. (#75431) Thanks @loyur.
+- iMessage: add stdin write callback and error listener to IMessageRpcClient so async EPIPE from a closed child process rejects the pending request instead of crashing the gateway with uncaughtException. Fixes #75438.
+- MCP/stdio: settle MCP stdio transport send() from the write callback instead of resolving immediately on buffer acceptance, so async write errors reject the promise instead of being lost. Refs #75438.
+- Process/exec: add stdin error listener in runCommandWithTimeout so EPIPE from a prematurely-exited child is swallowed instead of escaping to uncaughtException. Refs #75438.
+- Voice Call/realtime: add default-off fast memory/session context for `openclaw_agent_consult`, giving live calls a bounded answer-or-miss path before the full agent consult. Fixes #71849. Thanks @amzzzzzzz.
+
+- Google Meet: interrupt Realtime provider output when local barge-in clears playback, so command-pair audio stops model speech instead of only restarting Chrome playback. Fixes #73850. (#73834) Thanks @shhtheonlyperson.
+- Gateway/config: cap oversized plugin-owned schemas in the full `config.schema` response so large installed plugin sets cannot balloon Gateway RSS or crash schema clients. Thanks @vincentkoc.
+- Plugins/update: skip ClawHub and marketplace plugin updates when the bundled version is newer than the recorded installed version, so `openclaw update` no longer overwrites working bundled plugins with older external packages. Fixes #75447. Thanks @amknight.
+- Gateway/sessions: use bounded tail reads for sessions-list transcript usage fallbacks and cap bulk title/last-message hydration, keeping large session stores responsive when rows request derived previews. Thanks @vincentkoc.
+- Gateway/sessions: yield during bulk transcript title/preview hydration and copy compaction checkpoints asynchronously, keeping the Gateway event loop responsive for large session stores and large transcripts. Refs #75330 and #75414. Thanks @amknight.
+- Gateway/sessions: stream bounded transcript reads for session detail, history, artifacts, compaction, and send/subscribe sequence paths so small Gateway requests no longer materialize large transcripts or OOM on oversized session logs. Thanks @vincentkoc.
+- Gateway/chat: bound chat-history transcript reads to the requested display window so large session logs no longer OOM the Gateway when clients ask for a small history page. Thanks @vincentkoc.
+- BlueBubbles: detect audio attachments by Apple UTIs (`public.audio`, `public.mpeg-4-audio`, `com.apple.m4a-audio`, `com.apple.coreaudio-format`) in addition to `audio/*` MIME, so iMessage voice notes whose webhook payload only carries the UTI are now classified as audio in the inbound `<media:audio>` placeholder instead of falling through to the generic `<media:attachment>` tag. Thanks @omarshahine.
+- Voice Call/Twilio: honor stored pre-connect TwiML before realtime webhook shortcuts and reject DTMF sequences outside conversation mode, so Meet PIN entry cannot be skipped or silently dropped. Thanks @donkeykong91 and @PfanP.
+- Docs/sandboxing: clarify that sandbox setup scripts (`sandbox-setup.sh`, `sandbox-common-setup.sh`, `sandbox-browser-setup.sh`) are only available from a source checkout, and add inline `docker build` commands for npm-installed users so sandbox image setup works without cloning the repo. Fixes #75485. Thanks @amknight.
+- Google Meet/Voice Call: play Twilio Meet DTMF before opening the realtime media stream and carry the intro as the initial Voice Call message, so the greeting is generated after Meet admits the phone participant instead of racing a live-call TwiML update. Thanks @donkeykong91 and @PfanP.
+- Google Meet/Voice Call: make Twilio setup preflight honor explicit `--transport twilio` and fail local/private Voice Call webhook URLs, including IPv6 loopback and unique-local forms, before joins. Thanks @donkeykong91 and @PfanP.
+- Voice Call/Twilio: retry transient 21220 live-call TwiML updates and catch answered-path initial-greeting failures, so a fast answered callback no longer crashes the Gateway or drops the Twilio greeting/listen transition. (#74606) Thanks @Sivan22.
+- CLI/startup: preserve `OPENCLAW_HIDE_BANNER` banner suppression for route-first startup callers that rely on the default process environment while keeping read-only status/channel paths from repairing bundled plugin runtime dependencies. Refs #75183.
+- Voice Call/Twilio: register accepted media streams immediately but wait for realtime transcription readiness before speaking the initial greeting, so reconnect grace handling stays live while OpenAI STT startup is no longer starved by TTS. Fixes #75197. (#75257) Thanks @donkeykong91 and @PfanP.
+- Voice Call CLI: run gateway-delegated `voicecall continue` through operation-id polling and protocol-shaped errors, so long conversational turns keep their transcript result without blocking a single Gateway RPC. (#75459) Thanks @serrurco and @DougButdorf.
+- Voice Call CLI: delegate operational `voicecall` commands to the running Gateway runtime and skip webhook startup during CLI-only plugin loading, preventing webhook port conflicts and `setup --json` hangs. Fixes #72345. Thanks @serrurco and @DougButdorf.
+- Agents/pi-embedded-runner: extract the `abortable` provider-call wrapper from `runEmbeddedAttempt` to module scope so its promise handlers no longer close over the run lexical context, releasing transcripts, tool buffers, and subscription callbacks when a provider call hangs past abort. (#74182) Thanks @cjboy007.
+- Docker: restore `python3` in the gateway runtime image after the slim-runtime switch. Fixes #75041.
+- Agents/session-repair: fix resumed sessions failing with repeated 400 errors on Anthropic and strict OpenAI-compatible providers (Qwen, mlx-vlm) after an interrupted conversation or blank user input. Fixes #75271 and #75313. Thanks @amknight.
+- CLI/Voice Call: scope `voicecall` command activation to the Voice Call plugin so setup and smoke checks no longer broad-load unrelated plugin runtimes or hang after printing JSON. Thanks @vincentkoc.
+- Doctor/plugins: warn when restrictive `plugins.allow` is paired with wildcard or plugin-owned tool allowlists, making the exclusive plugin allowlist behavior visible before users hit empty callable-tool runs. Refs #58009 and #64982. Thanks @KR-Python and @BKF-Gitty.
+- Google Meet/Voice Call: keep Twilio Meet joins in conversation mode and reuse the realtime intro prompt when no voice-call-specific intro is configured, so answered phone bridge calls speak instead of joining silently. Refs #72478. Thanks @DougButdorf.
+- Auto-reply/group chats: keep the `message` tool available for message-tool-only visible replies and apply group-scoped tool policy before deciding fallback delivery, so Discord/Slack-style rooms reply visibly in the correct channel after upgrades. Fixes #74842; refs #75207. Thanks @davelutztx and @aa-on-ai.
+- Agents/commitments: keep inferred follow-ups internal when heartbeat target is none, strip raw source text from stored commitments, disable tools during due-commitment heartbeat turns, bound hidden extraction queue growth, expire stale commitments, and add QA/Docker safety coverage. Thanks @vignesh07.
+- Telegram/agents: keep typing indicators and optional generation tools off the reply critical path, so fresh Telegram replies no longer stall while provider catalogs and media models load. (#75360) Thanks @obviyus.
+- Agents/commitments: run hidden follow-up extraction on the configured agent/default model instead of falling back to direct OpenAI, so OpenAI Codex OAuth-only gateways no longer spam background API-key failures. Fixes #75334. Thanks @sene1337.
+- Agents/media: keep async music generation completions on the requester-session wake path even when direct-send completion is enabled, so finished audio stays agent-mediated while video can still opt into direct channel delivery. (#75335) Thanks @vincentkoc.
+- Security/config-audit: redact CLI argv and execArgv secrets before persisting config audit records, covering write, observe, and recovery paths. Fixes #60826. Thanks @koshaji.
+- Gateway/models: keep default and configured model-list views responsive when provider catalog discovery stalls, without hiding real catalog load failures, while `--all` still waits for the exact full catalog. Fixes #75297; refs #74404. Thanks @lisandromachado and @najef1979-code.
+- Plugins/runtime-deps: accept already materialized package-level runtime-deps supersets as converged, so later lazy plugin activation no longer prunes and relaunches `pnpm install` after gateway startup pre-staging, reducing event-loop pressure from repeated runtime-deps repair on packaged installs. Fixes #75283; refs #75297 and #72338. Thanks @brokemac79, @lisandromachado, and @midhunmonachan.
+- Plugins/runtime-deps: remove OpenClaw-owned legacy runtime-deps symlinks before replacing staged bundled plugin dependencies, so updates can recover from older symlinked installs instead of failing the symlink safety guard. Thanks @goldmar.
+- Discord: retry queued REST 429s against learned bucket/global cooldowns and reacquire fresh voice upload URLs after CDN upload rate limits, so outbound sends recover without reusing stale single-use upload URLs. Thanks @discord.
+- TTS/providers: keep bundled speech-provider compat fallback available when plugins are globally disabled, so cold gateway and CLI startup can still resolve fallback speech providers instead of leaving explicit TTS provider selection with no registered providers. Refs #75265. Thanks @sliekens.
+- Discord: collapse repeated native slash-command deploy rate-limit startup logs into one non-fatal warning while keeping per-request REST timing in verbose output. Thanks @discord.
+- Discord: report native slash-command deploy aborts as REST timeouts with method, path, timeout budget, and observed duration, so startup logs explain slow Discord API calls instead of showing a generic aborted operation. Thanks @discord.
+- Security/logging: redact payment credential field names such as card number, CVC/CVV, shared payment token, and payment credential across default log and tool-payload redaction patterns so wallet-style MCP tools do not expose raw payment credentials in UI events or transcripts. Thanks @stainlu.
+- Providers/OpenAI Codex: preserve existing wrapped Codex streams during OpenAI attribution so PI OAuth bearer injection reaches ChatGPT/Codex Responses, and strip native Codex-only unsupported payload fields without touching custom compatible endpoints. (#75111) Thanks @keshavbotagent.
+- Plugins/runtime-deps: materialize newly required bundled plugin packages after local `openclaw onboard` and `openclaw configure` config writes, while keeping remote setup read-only, so first Gateway startup no longer discovers missing channel/provider deps after setup claimed success. Fixes #75309; refs #75069. Thanks @scottgl9 and @xiaohuaxi.
+- Plugins/runtime-deps: expire stale legacy install locks whose live PID cannot be tied to the current process incarnation, so Docker PID reuse no longer leaves bundled dependency repair stuck behind old `.openclaw-runtime-deps.lock` directories. Fixes #74948; refs #74950 and #74346. Thanks @dchekmarev.
+- Plugins/runtime-deps: recover interrupted bundled runtime-dependency installs whose package sentinels exist but generated materialization is incomplete, forcing npm/pnpm repair in Gateway startup, doctor, and lazy plugin loads instead of leaving channels crash-looping on missing packages. Fixes #75309; refs #75310, #75296, and #75304. Thanks @scottgl9.
+- Plugins/runtime-deps: treat no-main and export-map package sentinels without reachable entry files as incomplete, so Gateway startup, doctor, and lazy plugin loads repair interrupted bundled dependency installs instead of accepting package.json-only partial installs. Fixes #75309; refs #75183. Thanks @shakkernerd.
+- Plugins/runtime-deps: keep runtime inspection and channel maintenance commands from downloading bundled plugin dependencies, route explicit repairs through `openclaw plugins deps --repair`, and still allow Gateway/DO paths to repair missing deps before import. Refs #75069. Thanks @xiaohuaxi.
+- Updates: force non-deferred, no-cooldown update restarts after package-manager updates requested through the live Gateway control plane and fail release validation on post-swap stale chunk import crashes, so Telegram/Discord imports do not stay pointed at removed dist files. Fixes #75206. Thanks @xonaman and @faux123.
+- Agents/tool-result guard: use the resolved runtime context token budget for non-context-engine tool-result overflow checks, so long tool-heavy sessions no longer compact early when `contextTokens` is larger than native `contextWindow`. Fixes #74917. Thanks @kAIborg24.
+- Gateway/systemd: exit with sysexits 78 for supervised lock and `EADDRINUSE` conflicts so `RestartPreventExitStatus=78` stops `Restart=always` restart loops instead of repeatedly reloading plugins against an occupied port. Fixes #75115. Thanks @yhyatt.
+- Agents/runtime: skip blank visible user prompts at the embedded-runner boundary before provider submission while still allowing internal runtime-only turns and media-only prompts, so Telegram/group sessions no longer leak raw empty-input provider errors when replay history exists. Fixes #74137. Thanks @yelog, @Gracker, and @nhaener.
+- Agents/Codex: isolate local Codex app-server `CODEX_HOME` and `HOME` per agent and add a deliberate Codex migration path with selectable skill copies, so personal Codex CLI skills, plugins, config, and hooks no longer leak into OpenClaw agents unless the operator migrates them into the workspace. Thanks @pashpashpash.
+- Security/Nextcloud Talk: make webhook signature validation use the padded timing-safe compare path even when the supplied signature length is wrong, keep normalized header lookup behavior, and extend regression coverage for tampered bodies, wrong secrets, array-backed headers, and truncated signatures. Carries forward earlier contributor work from #50516 by teddytennant. (#58097) Thanks @gavyngong.
+- Plugins/runtime-deps: replace stale symlinked mirror target roots before writing runtime-mirror temp files and skip rewriting already materialized hardlinks, so cross-version container upgrades no longer crash-loop on read-only image-layer paths while warm mirrors do less churn. Fixes #75108; refs #75069. Thanks @coletebou and @xiaohuaxi.
+- Auto-reply/group chats: fall back to automatic source delivery when a channel precomputes message-tool-only replies but the `message` tool is unavailable, so Discord/Slack-style group turns do not silently complete without a visible reply. Fixes #74868. Thanks @kagura-agent.
+- Browser/gateway: share one browser control runtime across the HTTP control server and `browser.request`, and refresh browser profile config from the source snapshot, so CLI status/start honors configured `browser.executablePath`, `headless`, and `noSandbox` instead of falling back to stale auto-detection. Fixes #75087; repairs #73617. Thanks @civiltox and @martingarramon.
+- Agents/subagents: bound automatic orphan recovery with persisted recovery attempts and a wedged-session tombstone, and teach task maintenance/doctor to reconcile those sessions so restart loops no longer require manual `sessions.json` surgery. Fixes #74864. Thanks @solosage1.
+- Plugins/runtime-deps: keep bundled provider policy config loading from staging plugin runtime dependencies, so config reads no longer fail on locked-down `/var/lib/openclaw/plugin-runtime-deps` directories. Fixes #74971. Thanks @eurojojo.
+- Memory/runtime-deps: retain the native `node-llama-cpp` runtime only when local memory search is configured, so packaged installs can repair local embeddings without relying on unreachable global npm installs. Fixes #74777. Thanks @LLagoon3.
+- Gateway/startup: skip pre-bind web-fetch provider discovery for credential-free `tools.web.fetch` config, so Docker/Kubernetes gateways bind even when optional fetch limits are present. Fixes #74896. Thanks @KoykL.
+- Signal: match group allowlists against inbound Signal group ids as well as sender ids, and process explicitly configured Signal groups without requiring mentions unless `requireMention` is set. Fixes #53308. Thanks @minupla and @juan-flores077.
+- Signal: bound `signal-cli` installer release and archive downloads with explicit timeouts, declared and streamed size checks, and partial-file cleanup. Fixes #54153. Thanks @jinduwang1001-max and @juan-flores077.
+- Slack: require bot-authored room messages with `allowBots=true` to come from an explicitly channel-allowlisted bot or from a room where an explicit Slack owner is present, so broad bot relays cannot run unattended. Fixes #59284. Thanks @andrewhong-translucent.
+- Signal: derive `getAttachment` HTTP response caps from `channels.signal.mediaMaxMb` with base64 headroom, so inbound photos and videos no longer drop behind the 1 MiB RPC default. Fixes #73564. Thanks @heyhudson.
+- Signal: keep the long-lived receive SSE monitor open while idle instead of applying the 10s RPC/check deadline, so `signal-cli` 0.14.3 event streams no longer reconnect before inbound messages arrive. Fixes #74741. Thanks @fgabelmannjr and @k7n4n5t3w4rt.
+- CLI/progress: suppress nested progress spinners and line clears while TUI input owns raw stdin, so Crestodian `/status` no longer disturbs the active input row. (#75003) Thanks @velvet-shark.
+- Models/OpenAI Codex: restore `openai-codex/gpt-5.4-mini` for ChatGPT/Codex OAuth PI runs after live OAuth proof, and align the manifest, forward-compat metadata, docs, and regression tests so stale cron and heartbeat configs resolve again. Fixes #74451. Thanks @0xCyda, @hclsys, and @Marvae.
+- Plugins/runtime-deps: always write a dependency map in generated runtime-deps install manifests, so npm does not crash or prune staged bundled-plugin packages when the plan is empty. Fixes #74949. Thanks @hclsys.
+- Telegram: use durable message edits for streaming previews instead of native draft state, so generated replies no longer flicker through draft-to-message transitions that look like duplicates. (#75073) Thanks @obviyus.
+- Telegram: echo preflighted DM voice-note transcripts back to the originating chat, including Telegram DM topic thread metadata, instead of only echoing later media-understanding transcripts. Fixes #75084. Thanks @M-Lietz.
+- Telegram: clamp low long-polling client timeouts so configured `timeoutSeconds` values below the `getUpdates` poll window no longer force a fresh HTTPS connection every few seconds. Fixes #75114. Thanks @hpinho77.
+- Web search: describe `web_search` as using the configured provider instead of hard-coding Brave when DuckDuckGo or another provider is active. Fixes #75088. Thanks @sun-rongyang.
+- Infra/tmp: tolerate concurrent temp-dir permission repairs by rechecking directories that another process already tightened, so parallel ACP subprocess startup no longer throws `Unsafe fallback OpenClaw temp dir`. Fixes #66867. Thanks @Kane808-AI and @jarvisz8.
+- Agents/compaction: add an opt-in `agents.defaults.compaction.midTurnPrecheck` mid-turn precheck that detects tool-loop context pressure and triggers compaction before the next tool call instead of waiting for end-of-turn. (#73499) Thanks @marchpure and @haoxingjun.
+- Gateway/approvals: let loopback token/password-backed native approval clients resolve exec approvals without attaching stale paired Gateway identities, while remote and unauthenticated approval clients keep normal device identity behavior. (#74472)
+- Gateway/config: include rejected validation paths in foreground and service last-known-good recovery logs plus main-agent notices, so unsupported direct edits explain which key caused restore instead of looking like silent reversion. Fixes #75060. Thanks @amknight.
+- Plugins/runtime-deps: hash the OS-canonical `packageRoot` via `fs.realpathSync.native` (with `path.resolve` fallback) when computing the bundled runtime-deps stage key, so loader and channel `bundled-root` callers no longer derive divergent stage directories under `~/.openclaw/plugin-runtime-deps/openclaw-<version>-<hash>/` and bundled channels stop failing with `ENOENT` on shared dist chunks under Windows npm symlinks, junctions, or PM2 multi-instance worker layouts. Fixes #74963. (#75048) Thanks @openperf and @vincentkoc.
+- fix(logging): add redaction patterns for Tencent Cloud, Alibaba Cloud, HuggingFace and Replicate API keys (#58162). Thanks @gavyngong
+- Pairing: surface unexpected allowlist filesystem stat errors instead of treating the allowlist as missing, so permission and I/O failures are visible during pairing authorization checks. (#63324) Thanks @franciscomaestre.
+- macOS app: reserve layout space for exec approval command details so the allow dialog no longer overlaps the command, context, and action buttons. (#75470) Thanks @ngutman.
+- Agents/failover: carry `sessionId`, `lane`, `provider`, `model`, and `profileId` attribution through `FailoverError` and `describeFailoverError`/`coerceToFailoverError` so structured error logs (e.g. `gateway.err.log` ingestion) can attribute exhausted-fallback wrapper errors to the originating session and last-attempted provider instead of dropping the metadata after the per-profile errors. Fixes #42713. (#73506) Thanks @wenxu007.
+- Context Engine: treat assembled prompt as the default authority for preemptive overflow prechecks so engines that return a windowed, self-contained context no longer trigger false hard-fail compactions on huge raw history. Engines whose assembled view can hide overflow risk can opt back into the legacy behavior with `AssembleResult.promptAuthority: "preassembly_may_overflow"`. (#74255) Thanks @100yenadmin.
+- Mattermost: refresh current native slash command registrations before accepting callbacks so stale tokens from deleted or regenerated commands stop being accepted without a gateway restart while failed validations stay briefly cached and lookup starts are rate-limited per command, gate each callback against the resolved command's own startup token so a token leaked for one slash command cannot poison another command's failure cache, redact slash validation lookup errors, and add a body read timeout to the multi-account routing path so slow callback senders cannot tie up the dispatcher. Thanks @feynman-hou and @eleqtrizit.
+- Security/dotenv: block `COMSPEC` in workspace `.env` so a malicious repo cannot redirect Windows `cmd.exe` resolution, and lock in case-insensitive workspace-`.env` regression coverage for the full Windows shell trust-root family (`COMSPEC`, `PROGRAMFILES`, `PROGRAMW6432`, `SYSTEMROOT`, `WINDIR`). (#74460) Thanks @mmaps.
+
+## 2026.4.29
+
+### 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
+
+- 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.
+
+### Fixes
+
+- Voice Call: resolve SecretRef-backed Twilio auth tokens and realtime/streaming provider API keys before initializing call providers, so SecretRef-backed voice-call credentials reach runtime as strings. (#73632) Thanks @VACInc.
+- Security/outbound: strip re-formed HTML tags during plain-text sanitization so nested tag fragments cannot leave a CodeQL-detected `<script>` sequence behind. Thanks @vincentkoc.
+- Security/secrets: compare credential bytes with padded timing-safe buffers instead of hashing candidate passwords before equality checks. Thanks @vincentkoc.
+- Security/QQBot: sanitize debug log arguments before writing to `console.*`, so gateway payload fields cannot forge extra log lines when debug logging is enabled. Thanks @vincentkoc.
+- QQBot: unify slash command auth and c2cOnly gating in the command registry, pass `allowQQBotDataDownloads` when sending slash command file attachments, align clear-storage with actual downloads directory, and add `/bot-me` to display sender user ID. (#73616) Thanks @cxyhhhhh.
+- CLI/agents/status: keep `openclaw agents`, text `agents list`, and plain text `status` on read-only metadata paths so human output no longer preloads plugin runtimes or live channel scans before printing. Fixes #74195. Thanks @NianJiuZst.
+- Agents/local models: derive context-window guard thresholds from the effective model window with 4k/8k safety floors, so small local models are no longer rejected by fixed 16k/32k preflight cutoffs. Fixes #42999. Thanks @chengjialu8888.
+- PDF extraction: resolve PDF.js standard fonts from the installed package root and pass a filesystem path to the Node fallback extractor, so built-in font PDFs render without `file://` URL lookup failures.

+- SDK: report Gateway terminal `agent.wait` timeout snapshots with lifecycle metadata as `timed_out` while keeping bare wait deadlines non-terminal.
+- Google Meet: block managed Chrome intro/test speech until browser health proves the participant is in-call, and expose `speechReady` diagnostics so login, admission, permission, and audio-bridge blockers no longer look like successful speech. Refs #72478. Thanks @DougButdorf.
+- Slack/commands: keep native command argument menus on select controls for encoded choice values up to Slack's option limit and truncate fallback button labels to Slack's button-text limit, so long valid choices no longer render invalid Slack blocks. Thanks @slackapi.
+- Agents/Codex: flush accepted debounced steering messages before normal app-server turn cleanup, so inbound follow-ups acknowledged as queued are not dropped when the turn completes before the debounce fires. Thanks @vincentkoc.
+- Slack/interactive replies: keep rendered buttons and selects within Slack Block Kit value and count limits, and align command argument select values with Slack's option limit, so overlong agent-authored choices no longer make Slack reject the whole block payload. Thanks @slackapi.
+- Slack/interactive replies: drop overlong Block Kit button URLs while preserving valid callback values, so malformed link buttons no longer make Slack reject the whole interactive reply. Thanks @slackapi.
+- Slack/commands: truncate native command argument-menu confirmation text to Slack's dialog limit, so long plugin arg names no longer make fallback buttons render invalid Block Kit payloads. Thanks @slackapi.

+- Slack/commands: drop fallback command argument buttons whose encoded values exceed Slack's button-value limit, so one oversized plugin choice no longer makes Slack reject the whole menu. Thanks @slackapi.
+- Slack/messages: merge message-tool presentation and interactive blocks on Slack sends, so buttons and selects are no longer dropped when a structured message body is also present. Thanks @slackapi.
+- Slack/messages: cap Block Kit fallback text to Slack's send limit while preserving the rendered blocks, so long context fallbacks no longer make rich Slack messages fail with `msg_too_long`. Thanks @slackapi.
+- Slack/messages: cap Block Kit fallback text on message edits while preserving the rendered blocks, so long context fallbacks no longer make Slack reject `chat.update` calls with `msg_too_long`. Thanks @slackapi.

+- Channels/Voice call: keep pre-auth webhook in-flight limiting active when socket remote address metadata is missing, so slow-body requests from stripped-IP proxy paths still share the fallback bucket. (#74453) Thanks @davidangularme.
+- Plugin SDK/testing: lazy-load TypeScript from the plugin test-contract runtime and add release checks for critical SDK contract entrypoint imports and bundle size, so published packages fail preflight before shipping ESM-incompatible or oversized contract helpers. Thanks @vincentkoc.
+- Channels/Microsoft Teams: treat configured `19:...@thread.tacv2` and legacy `19:...@thread.skype` team/channel IDs as already resolved during startup, avoiding false `channels unresolved` warnings while preserving Graph name lookup for display-name entries. Fixes #74683. Thanks @dseravalli.
+- CLI/browser: preserve parent flags while lazy-loading browser subcommands, so `openclaw browser --json open` and `openclaw browser --json tabs` keep machine-readable output after reparsing. Fixes #74574. Thanks @devintegeritsm.
+- Exec/elevated: preserve `turnSourceChannel` as `messageProvider` on approval-followup runs so `tools.elevated.allowFrom.<provider>` checks no longer fail with `provider=null` after the user approves an async elevated command. Fixes #74646. Thanks @xhd2015.
 - Plugins/runtime-deps: add `openclaw plugins deps` inspection and repair with script-free package-manager defaults shared across plugin installers, so operators can repair missing bundled runtime deps without corrupting JSON output or blocking unrelated conflict-free deps. Thanks @vincentkoc.
+- Agents/output: strip internal `[tool calls omitted]` replay placeholders from user-facing replies while preserving visible reply whitespace. Fixes #74573. Thanks @blaspat.
+- Providers/Google Vertex: route authorized_user ADC credentials through OpenClaw's REST transport so Docker installs using gcloud application-default credentials no longer crash in the Google SDK before requests are sent. Fixes #74628. Thanks @frankhal2001-design.
+- ACP/resolver: fall through to thread-bound session resolution when an explicit `--session` token cannot be resolved while preserving the bad-token diagnostic when no thread binding exists, so Discord slash commands that auto-fill the current thread ID as the positional ACP target no longer return "Unable to resolve session target" errors. Fixes #66299. Thanks @hclsys, @kindomLee, and @martingarramon.
 - Agents/sessions: emit a terminal lifecycle backstop when embedded timeout/error turns return without `agent_end`, so Gateway sessions no longer stay stuck in `running` after failover surfaces a timeout. Fixes #74607. Thanks @millerc79.

+- Providers/DeepSeek: expose native DeepSeek V4 `xhigh` and `max` thinking levels through the provider `resolveThinkingProfile` hook so `/think xhigh|max` applies the intended effort instead of falling back to base levels. (#73008) Thanks @ai-hpc.
 - Agents/Codex: bound embedded-run cleanup, trajectory flushing, and command-lane task timeouts after runtime failures, so Discord and other chat sessions return to idle instead of staying stuck in processing. Thanks @vincentkoc.

+If you believe you've found a security issue in OpenClaw, report it privately first.
 
-## Reporting
+This policy does two things: it gives researchers a clear disclosure path, and it spells out the trust model maintainers use when triaging reports. OpenClaw is local-first agent infrastructure for trusted operators; it is not designed as a shared multi-tenant boundary between adversarial users on one gateway.

+The fastest useful reports show a current, reproducible boundary bypass with demonstrated impact. Scanner output, prompt-injection-only chains, or reports that rely on hostile users sharing one trusted gateway are usually not security vulnerabilities under this model.

 ## Security Scanning
 
-This project uses `detect-secrets` for automated secret detection in CI/CD.
-See `.detect-secrets.cfg` for configuration and `.secrets.baseline` for the baseline.
+OpenClaw uses several security and release-validation layers. No single scanner is treated as the boundary.
 
-Run locally:
+### Secret Detection
+
+OpenClaw uses `detect-secrets` with a checked-in baseline and local exclusion notes (`.secrets.baseline`, `.detect-secrets.cfg`). Secret-resolution behavior is also covered by the dedicated secrets test surface.
+
+Run the baseline scan locally:
 
 ```bash
 pip install detect-secrets==1.5.0
 detect-secrets scan --baseline .secrets.baseline
 ```
+
+### Static Analysis
+
+CI runs CodeQL across core TypeScript, GitHub Actions, Android, macOS, and high-risk runtime boundaries using `.github/workflows/codeql*.yml` and `.github/codeql/*.yml`.
+
+OpenGrep provides a high-precision Semgrep-compatible layer. PRs run a changed-path scan; maintainers can run a full repository scan when needed. The rulepack lives under `security/opengrep/`, with `.semgrepignore` as the shared exclusion file.
+
+Run the local OpenGrep wrapper after installing `opengrep`:
+
+```bash
+scripts/run-opengrep.sh --changed --sarif --error
+pnpm check:opengrep-rule-metadata
+```
+
+### E2E and Live Validation
+
+Security-relevant behavior is also covered by runtime validation, not only static scanning:
+
+- `pnpm test:e2e` for repo E2E coverage.
+- `pnpm test:live` for live provider/runtime coverage.
+- `pnpm test:docker:all` for Docker-packaged runtime scenarios.
+- Package acceptance and scheduled live/E2E workflows for release-path validation.
+
+These lanes exercise packaged installs, gateway/runtime behavior, live model/provider paths, Docker scenarios, and platform smoke tests. They complement scanners by proving the security-sensitive flows still behave correctly in real runtime environments.
