-`desktop launch --webvnc --open` is usually the nicest one-shot: it starts the

 - Owner boundary: fix owner-specific behavior in the owner module. Shared/core gets generic seams only; no owner ids, dependency strings, defaults, migrations, or recovery policy. If a bug names an extension or its dependency, start in that extension and add a generic core seam only when multiple owners need it.
 - Dependency ownership follows runtime ownership: extension-only deps stay plugin-local; root deps only for core imports or intentionally internalized bundled plugin runtime.
 - Legacy config repair: doctor/fix paths, not startup/load-time core migrations.
-- No legacy compatibility in core/runtime paths. When old config/store shapes need support, add an `openclaw doctor --fix` rewrite/repair rule with tests and keep runtime code on the canonical contract.
 - Core test asserting extension-specific behavior: move to owner extension or generic contract test.
 - New seams: backwards-compatible, documented, versioned. Third-party plugins exist.
 - Channels: `src/channels/**` is implementation; plugin authors get SDK seams.
 - Providers: core owns generic loop; provider plugins own auth/catalog/runtime hooks.
-- Request-time runtime resolution: when a path already knows the provider id, model ref, channel id, outbound target, capability family, or attachment class, carry that as a prepared runtime fact instead of rediscovering it later.
-- Prepared runtime facts should be small typed values produced once near startup, reply dispatch, model selection, tool planning, or channel resolution, then passed through context to consumers. Prefer `AgentRuntimePlan`, `ProviderRuntimePluginHandle`, scoped model/catalog helpers, active/runtime registries, manifest/public-artifact lookups, single-provider resolvers, and lazy registry construction.
-- Avoid broad request-time rediscovery: hot reply/tool/outbound/media paths should not call broad plugin/provider/channel/capability loaders such as `loadOpenClawPlugins`, `resolveProviderPluginsForHooks`, `resolvePluginCapabilityProviders`, `resolvePluginDiscoveryProvidersRuntime`, `getChannelPlugin`, or broad model/tool/media registry builders just to answer a question the caller already knows. Do not build multimodal/provider registries for document-only or otherwise non-participating paths.
-- Compatibility fallbacks are allowed only for startup/setup/admin/standalone/legacy callers that genuinely lack prepared facts. Keep them explicit, tested, and outside migrated hot reply/tool/outbound paths.
-- Do not fix repeated request-time discovery by adding scattered cache layers. Move the canonical fact earlier, reuse the existing prepared-runtime object, and delete duplicate lookup branches when the last migrated caller stops needing them.
 - Gateway protocol changes: additive first; incompatible needs versioning/docs/client follow-through.
 - Config contract: exported types, schema/help, metadata, baselines, docs aligned. Retired public keys stay retired; compat in raw migration/doctor.
 - Direction: manifest-first control plane; targeted runtime loaders; no hidden contract bypasses; broad mutable registries transitional.

 - Heavy checks: `OPENCLAW_LOCAL_CHECK=1`, mode `OPENCLAW_LOCAL_CHECK_MODE=throttled|full`; CI/shared use `OPENCLAW_LOCAL_CHECK=0`.
 - Crabbox: preferred live scenario runner when available. It has Linux, Windows, and macOS workers/targets; pick the OS that matches the bug. If unavailable, use the local system, Docker, Parallels, or CI live lane that proves the same behavior.

 ### Changes
 
-- Plugins/ACPX: accept an optional `args` array in `agents.<name>` config so paths and flag values containing spaces stay intact when spawning ACP agent processes. Thanks @TheArchitectit and @BunsDev.
-- Plugins/CLI: add the optional bundled `oc-path` plugin, providing `openclaw path` for surgical `oc://` access to markdown, JSONC, and JSONL workspace files.
-- Plugins/SDK: add unified model catalog registration for text, image, video, and music providers, including `providerCatalogEntry` manifests, shared media list help, live catalog caching, and per-model video capability overlays.
-- CLI: make parser, startup, config, guardrail, channel, agent, task, session, and MCP failures explain what happened and point to the next recovery command.
-- GitHub Copilot: refresh the model catalog from `${baseUrl}/models` so per-account entitlement and accurate context windows surface at runtime; static manifest catalog (now including `gpt-5.5`) remains the fallback when discovery is disabled or the API is unreachable.
-- Active Memory: support concrete `plugins.entries.active-memory.config.toolsAllow` recall tool names for custom memory plugins while keeping the built-in memory-core default on `memory_search`/`memory_get` and preserving `memory_recall` automatically for `plugins.slots.memory: "memory-lancedb"`.
-- Telegram: share the grammY API throttler across polling and ad hoc send clients for the same bot token, so visible draft previews and CLI sends use one quota gate. Thanks @anagnorisis2peripeteia.
-- Telegram/Feishu: honor configured per-agent and global `reasoningDefault` values when deciding whether channel reasoning previews should stream or stay hidden, addressing the preview-default part of #73182. Thanks @anagnorisis2peripeteia.
-- Docker: run the runtime image under `tini` so long-lived containers reap orphaned child processes and forward signals correctly. (#77885) Thanks @VintageAyu.
-- Logging/redaction: redact quoted HTTP client secret fields and auth/cookie headers in shared log and formatted error output. Related #71211 and #65623. (#75033) Thanks @liaoandi.
-- Gateway/SDK: document and stabilize the task ledger RPC surface for `tasks.list`, `tasks.get`, and `tasks.cancel`, including generated Swift model typing for optional task summaries. Thanks @BunsDev.
-- Google/Gemini: normalize retired `google/gemini-3-pro-preview` and `google-gemini-cli/gemini-3-pro-preview` selections to `google/gemini-3.1-pro-preview` before they are written to model config.
-- Google/Gemini: emit canonical `google/gemini-3.1-pro-preview` ids from configured provider catalog rows so model list and selection paths can test Gemini 3.1 instead of retired Gemini 3 Pro.
-- Google/Gemini: normalize nested proxy-provider catalog ids like `google/gemini-3-pro-preview` to `google/gemini-3.1-pro-preview`, so Kilo-style configured catalogs test Gemini 3.1 instead of the retired Gemini 3 Pro id.
-- Google/Gemini: canonicalize provider-onboarding model alias maps so setup flows preserve settings under `google/gemini-3.1-pro-preview` instead of re-emitting retired Gemini 3 Pro config keys.
-- Google/Gemini: canonicalize retired Gemini 3 Pro Preview ids inside Google dynamic model resolution so runtime clones also use `google/gemini-3.1-pro-preview`.
-- Amazon Bedrock: support `serviceTier` parameter for Bedrock models, configurable via `agents.defaults.params.serviceTier` or per-model in `agents.defaults.models`. Valid values: `default`, `flex`, `priority`, `reserved`. (#64512) Thanks @mobilinkd.
-- Control UI: read the Quick Settings exec policy badge from `tools.exec.security` instead of the non-schema `agents.defaults.exec.security` path, so configured `full`/`deny` values render accurately. Fixes #78311. Thanks @FriedBack.
-- Control UI/usage: add transcript-backed historical lineage rollups for rotated logical sessions, with current-instance vs historical-lineage scope controls and long-range presets so usage history stays visible after restarts and updates. Fixes #50701. Thanks @dev-gideon-llc and @BunsDev.
-- Agents/failover: harden state-aware lane suspension by persisting quota resume transitions, restoring configured lane concurrency, preserving non-quota failure reasons, and exporting model failover events through diagnostics OTLP. Thanks @BunsDev.
-- Control UI/Windows: add the SPA-side WebView2 bridge for native hosts so draft text can update the chat composer and the ready handshake is wired through the app lifecycle. (#69633) Thanks @AlexAlves87.
-- Channels/streaming: make progress draft labels scroll away with other progress lines, render structured tool rows as compact emoji/title/details, show web-search queries from provider-native argument shapes, and skip empty Discord apply-patch starts until a patch summary exists. (#79146)
-- Runtime/performance: avoid full-array sorting while auto-selecting providers, resolving supported thinking levels, picking node last-seen timestamps, and extracting Codex usage-limit messages. Thanks @shakkernerd.
-- Plugins/doctor: avoid full-array sorting while selecting ClawHub search/archive results and bounded dreaming doctor entries. Thanks @shakkernerd.
-- Agents/compaction: keep contributor diagnostics to a bounded top-three selection without sorting the full history. Thanks @shakkernerd.
-- Sessions/UI: avoid full-array sorting while selecting ACPX leases, Google Meet calendar events, and latest chat sessions. Thanks @shakkernerd.
-- Plugin SDK: mark direct `deliverOutboundPayloads` and legacy reply-dispatch bridges as deprecated compatibility substrate, enrich `sendDurableMessageBatch` with explicit durable send outcomes, migrate bundled send/turn paths off deprecated APIs, and enforce the split with `check:deprecated-api-usage`.
-- Telegram: preserve the channel-specific 10-option poll cap in the unified outbound adapter so over-limit polls are rejected before send. (#78762) Thanks @obviyus.
-- Telegram/streaming: continue over-limit draft previews in a new message instead of stopping when rendered preview text crosses Telegram's message limit. (#74508) Thanks @anagnorisis2peripeteia.
-- Slack: route handled top-level channel turns in implicit-conversation channels to thread-scoped sessions when Slack reply threading is enabled, keeping the root turn and later thread replies on one OpenClaw session. (#78522) Thanks @zeroth-blip.
-- Telegram: re-probe the primary fetch transport after repeated sticky fallback success so transient IPv4 or pinned-IP fallback promotion can recover without a gateway restart. Fixes #77088. (#77157) Thanks @MkDev11.
-- Runtime/install: raise the supported Node 22 floor to `22.16+` so native SQLite query handling can rely on the `node:sqlite` statement metadata API while continuing to recommend Node 24. (#78921)
-- Discord/voice: make duplicate same-guild auto-join entries resolve to the last configured channel so moving an agent between voice channels does not keep joining the stale channel.
-- Discord/voice: add realtime `/vc` modes so Discord voice channels can run as STT/TTS, a realtime talk buffer with the OpenClaw agent brain, or a bidi realtime session with `openclaw_agent_consult`.
-- Discord/voice: add bounded realtime gateway logs for voice channel joins, realtime model/voice selection, transcripts, consult routing/answers, and playback start, allow OpenAI realtime Discord sessions to disable input-triggered response interruption for echo-heavy rooms while keeping explicit Discord barge-in available, and allow voice turns to target an existing Discord channel agent session.
-- Discord/voice: include a bounded one-line STT transcript preview in verbose voice logs so live voice debugging shows what speakers said before the agent reply.
-- Codex app-server: pin the managed Codex harness and Codex CLI smoke package to `@openai/codex@0.129.0`, defer OpenClaw integration dynamic tools behind Codex tool search by default, and accept current Codex service-tier values so legacy `fast` settings survive the stable harness upgrade as `priority`.
-- Codex app-server: default implicit local stdio app-server permissions to guardian when Codex system requirements disallow the YOLO approval, reviewer, or sandbox value, including hostname-scoped remote sandbox entries, avoiding turn-start failures on managed hosts that permit only reviewed approval or narrower sandboxes.
-- Plugins/install: run managed npm-root install, uninstall, prune, and repair commands from the managed root without a redundant `--prefix .`, avoiding npm 10.9.3 Arborist crashes on native Windows WhatsApp plugin installs. Fixes #78514. (#78902) Thanks @melihselamett-stack.
-- Discord/voice: stream ElevenLabs TTS directly into Discord playback and send ElevenLabs latency optimization as the documented query parameter so spoken replies can start sooner.
-- Discord/voice: keep TTS playback running when another user starts speaking, ignore new capture during playback to avoid feedback loops, and downgrade expected receive-stream aborts to verbose diagnostics.
-- iMessage: expose native private-API message actions through `imsg rpc` for reactions, edits, unsends, replies, rich sends, attachments, and group management when `imsg status --json` reports the required bridge capabilities.
-- Telegram: treat successful same-chat `message` tool outbound sends during an inbound telegram turn as delivered when deciding whether to emit the rewritten silent reply fallback (#78685). Thanks @neeravmakwana.
-- Gateway/tasks: reconcile stale CLI run-context tasks whose live run context disappeared even when a child session row remains, and apply the default bounded reload deferral timeout to channel hot reloads so stale task records cannot block Discord/Slack/Telegram reloads forever.
-- Gateway/sessions: keep session-store index writes atomic while skipping durable fsync inside the writer lock, reducing cron and channel-turn starvation on slow filesystems and addressing the session-store strand of #73655. Thanks @mmartoccia.
-- Discord/voice: make `openclaw channels capabilities --channel discord --target channel:<id>` and `channels status --probe` audit voice-channel permissions, including auto-join targets, so missing Connect/Speak/Read Message History permissions show up before `/vc join`.
-- Channels CLI: make `openclaw channels list` channel-only — drop the `Auth providers (OAuth + API keys)` block (use `openclaw models auth list`), drop the per-provider usage/quota fetch and the `--no-usage` flag (use `openclaw status` or `openclaw models list`), add `--all` to surface bundled-unconfigured, catalog-not-installed, and catalog-installed-but-unconfigured channels, and render explicit `installed` / `configured` / `enabled` tags per row plus an `origin` + `installed` field in JSON. Fixes WeCom-class catalog channels disappearing from `--all` when installed on disk but not yet configured. (#78456) Thanks @sliverp.
-- CLI/cron: add computed `status` field to `cron list --json` and `cron show <id> --json` output, mirroring the human-readable status column (disabled/running/ok/error/skipped/idle) so external tooling can determine job state without re-deriving it from raw state fields. (#78701) Thanks @aweiker.
-- Gateway/restart: expose `skipDeferral` on the `gateway.restart.request` RPC and add `openclaw gateway restart --safe --skip-deferral` so operators can bypass the safe-restart deferral gate when a pinned task run prevents the OpenClaw-aware restart from draining. Surfaces the existing internal `scheduleGatewaySigusr1Restart({ skipDeferral })` semantics added in #71637 to a public surface, complementing `gateway.reload.deferralTimeoutMs`. Refs #76162. Thanks @solomonneas.
-- Discord/voice: make voice capture less choppy by extending the default post-speech silence grace to 2.5s, add `voice.captureSilenceGraceMs` for noisy Discord sessions, and tighten the spoken-output prompt around live STT fragments. Thanks @vincentkoc.
-- Discord/streaming: default Discord replies to progress draft previews so tool/work activity appears in one edited Discord message unless `channels.discord.streaming.mode` is set to `off`.
-- OpenAI: support `openai/chat-latest` as an explicit direct API-key model override for trying the moving ChatGPT Instant API alias without changing the stable default model.
-- OpenAI/realtime: default realtime voice to `gpt-realtime-2`, use the GA Realtime WebSocket session shape for backend OpenAI bridges, and cover backend, WebRTC, Google Live, and Gateway relay paths in the live Talk smoke. (#79130)
-- Update/Windows: spawn the post-core-update child process with `stdio:"pipe"` on Windows so PowerShell/CMD console handles are not inherited, preventing the terminal from hanging after `openclaw update` completes. Fixes #78445. (#78483) Thanks @Beandon13.
-- Plugins/install: add `npm-pack:<path.tgz>` installs so local npm pack artifacts run through the same managed npm-root install, lockfile verification, dependency scan, and install-record path as registry npm plugins.
-- Channels/plugins: show configured official external channels as missing-plugin status rows and send errors with exact install/doctor repair commands after raw package-manager upgrades leave Feishu or WhatsApp uninstalled. Fixes #78702 and #78593. Thanks @MarkMa84 and @mkupiainen.
-- Matrix: move the Matrix channel back to an official external ClawHub/npm plugin so core installs no longer need Matrix SDK runtime dependencies.
-- Codex app-server: disarm the short post-tool completion watchdog after current-turn activity, expose `appServer.turnCompletionIdleTimeoutMs`, and include raw assistant item context in idle-timeout diagnostics so status-only post-tool stalls stop failing as idle. Fixes #77984. Thanks @roseware-dev and @rubencu.
-- Plugin skills/Windows: publish plugin-provided skill directories as junctions on Windows so standard users without Developer Mode can register plugin skills without symlink EPERM failures. Fixes #77958. (#77971) Thanks @hclsys and @jarro.
-- Shell env/Windows: hide the login-shell environment probe child window so gateway startup and shell-env refreshes do not flash a console on Windows. Fixes #78159. (#78266) Thanks @BradGroux.
-- MS Teams: surface blocked Bot Framework egress by logging JWKS fetch network failures and adding a Bot Connector send hint for transport-level reply failures. Fixes #77674. (#78081) Thanks @Beandon13.
-- Gateway/sessions: fast-path already-qualified model refs while building session-list rows so `openclaw sessions` and Control UI session lists avoid heavyweight model resolution on large stores. (#77902) Thanks @ragesaq.
-- Contributor PRs: remind external contributors to redact private information like IP addresses, API keys, phone numbers, and non-public endpoints from real behavior proof. Thanks @pashpashpash.
-- Codex/approvals: in Codex approval modes, stop installing the pre-guardian native `PermissionRequest` hook by default so Codex's reviewer can approve safe commands before OpenClaw surfaces an approval, remember `allow-always` decisions for identical Codex native `PermissionRequest` payloads within the active session window, and make plugin approval requests validate/render their actual allowed decisions so Telegram and other native approval UIs cannot offer stale actions. Thanks @shakkernerd.
-- ACP bridge: relay Gateway exec approval prompts from active ACP turns to the ACP client's `session/request_permission` handler before resolving the Gateway approval. Thanks @amknight.
-- Codex/plugins: enable migrated source-installed `openai-curated` Codex plugins in the same Codex harness thread with explicit `codexPlugins` config, cached app readiness, and fail-closed destructive-action policy. Thanks @kevinslin.
-- Codex/plugins: enforce native plugin destructive-action policy with Codex app-level `destructive_enabled` config instead of OpenClaw-maintained per-tool deny lists, leave plugin app `open_world_enabled` on by default, and invalidate existing plugin app thread bindings so old generated app config is rebuilt. Thanks @kevinslin.
 - 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.
-- ACPX/Codex: preserve trusted Codex project declarations when launching isolated Codex ACP sessions, avoiding interactive trust prompts in headless runs. Thanks @Stedyclaw.
-- ACPX/Codex: reap stale OpenClaw-owned ACPX/Codex ACP process trees on startup and after ACP session close, preventing orphaned harness processes from slowing the Gateway. Thanks @91wan.
-- ACP bridge: implement stable session list, resume, and close handlers so ACP clients can page Gateway sessions, rebind existing sessions without replay, and close bridge sessions cleanly. Thanks @amknight.
-- ACP bridge: replay complete ledger-backed ACP sessions on load, including user prompts, tool updates, session metadata, and usage snapshots, while keeping older sessions on the existing transcript fallback. Thanks @amknight.
-- ACP sessions: allow parent agents to inspect and message their own spawned cross-agent ACP sessions without enabling broad agent-to-agent visibility. Thanks @barronlroth.
-- Talk/voice: unify realtime relay, transcription relay, managed-room handoff, Voice Call, Google Meet, VoiceClaw, and native clients around a shared Talk session controller and add the Gateway-managed `talk.session.*` RPC surface.
-- Diagnostics/Talk: export bounded Talk lifecycle/audio metrics and session recovery metrics through OpenTelemetry and Prometheus without exposing transcripts, audio payloads, room ids, turn ids, or session ids.
-- Logging/Talk: route shared Talk lifecycle events into bounded file and OTLP log records while keeping transcript text, audio payloads, turn ids, call ids, and provider item ids out of logs.
 - 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.
-- Telegram/performance: skip non-forum topic-cache setup, defer status reaction variant work until reactions are needed, and reuse ack reaction gating during message context assembly. 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.
-- CLI/migrate: show native Codex plugin names before truncated plan items and prompt for plugin activation explicitly during interactive Codex migration instead of silently keeping every planned plugin. Thanks @kevinslin.
-- CLI/migrate: leave already configured target Codex plugins unchecked in the interactive plugin selector and show a `plugin exists` conflict hint while keeping new plugin activations selected by default. Thanks @kevinslin.
-- CLI/migrate: return cleanly without apply confirmation when interactive Codex migration leaves both skill copies and native plugin activations unselected. 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.

-- Gateway/performance: avoid resolving plugin auto-enable metadata twice in one runtime config pass, reducing repeated dashboard turn metadata scans. Thanks @shakkernerd.
-- Auth/providers: pass `config` and `workspaceDir` lookup context through to provider-id resolution so workspace-scoped auth aliases resolve correctly when no explicit alias map is supplied. Thanks @shakkernerd.

 - 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.

-- Discord/message: parse provider-prefixed targets like `discord:channel:<id>` as channel sends instead of legacy Discord DM targets, so cross-channel agent `message(action="send")` calls no longer misroute channel IDs into misleading `Unknown Channel` failures.

Enable with `channels.imessage.catchup.enabled: true`; tunables for `maxAgeMinutes`, `perRunLimit`, `firstRunLookbackMinutes`, and `maxFailureRetries`. Persists a per-account cursor under the OpenClaw state dir (`<openclawStateDir>/imessage/catchup/`), replays each row through the live dispatch path so allowlists/group policy/dedupe behave identically on replayed and live messages, and force-advances past wedged guids after `maxFailureRetries` to prevent stuck cursors. Extends the persisted echo-cache retention window so the agent's own outbound rows from before a gap are not re-fed as inbound on replay.

(#79620) Thanks @loongfay.
-
-### Breaking
-
-- Channels/iMessage: remove the bundled BlueBubbles channel surface and deprecate BlueBubbles-backed iMessage setup in OpenClaw. Existing `channels.bluebubbles` configs must migrate to `channels.imessage` using `imsg` on a signed-in Mac or an SSH wrapper, and non-macOS default `imsg` configs now report remote-Mac wrapper guidance.
 
 ### Fixes
 
-- Gateway: avoid false degraded event-loop health during rapid health/readiness/status probes unless sustained load has delay co-evidence, while keeping hard delay detection immediate. (#77028) Thanks @rubencu.
-- OpenAI: pin OpenAI API-key onboarding's `openai/gpt-5.5` default to the PI runtime so fresh API-key installs use the saved `openai:default` profile instead of the implicit Codex harness. Fixes #79358. Thanks @pubnub-mrruby.
-- Gateway/agent: pass the session-key agent id into inline image attachment validation so the first image in a fresh per-agent session uses the agent's vision-capable model override instead of the text-only system default. Fixes #79407. Thanks @pandadev66.
-- Gateway/maintenance: prune dedupe overflow against a stable excess count and keep active agent retries from starting duplicate runs after cache eviction. (#73841) Thanks @thesomewhatyou.
-- Control UI/subagents: suppress internal `subagent_announce` handoff prompts from requester transcripts and hide legacy inter-session wrapper rows so completed subagent results no longer surface runtime context in WebChat history. (#79618) Thanks @joshavant.
-- Discord: preserve username target resolution for Discord outbound sends. (#79076) Thanks @vincentkoc.
-- Gateway/sessions: rotate generated transcript paths when gateway sessions reset, complementing the daily-rollover transcript persistence. (#79076) Thanks @vincentkoc.
-- Dependencies: pin the transitive `fast-uri` production dependency to `3.1.2` so the production dependency audit no longer resolves the vulnerable `<=3.1.1` range. Thanks @shakkernerd.
-- Cron/agents: recognize same-target `edit`↔`write` recovery in `isSameToolMutationAction`, so a successful `write` to a path clears an earlier failed `edit` on the same path. Stops cron from reporting fatal failures when an agent self-heals across `edit` and `write`, while preserving same-tool fingerprint matching, blocking different-target writes, and excluding tools (including `apply_patch`) whose real call args do not produce a stable `path` fingerprint segment. Fixes #79024. Thanks @RenzoMXD.
-- Gateway/Tailscale: add opt-in `gateway.tailscale.preserveFunnel` so when `tailscale.mode = "serve"` and an externally configured Tailscale Funnel route already covers the gateway port, OpenClaw skips re-applying `tailscale serve` on startup and skips the `resetOnExit` teardown for that run, keeping operator-managed Funnel exposure alive across gateway restarts. Fixes #57241. Thanks @RenzoMXD.
-- Agents/compaction: keep the recent tail after manual `/compact` when Pi returns an empty or no-op compaction summary, preventing blank checkpoints from replacing the live context.
-- Native commands: handle slash commands before workspace and agent-reply bootstrap so Telegram `/status` and other command-only native replies do not wait behind full agent turn setup.
-- Plugins/Nix: allow externally configured plugin roots under `/nix/store` to load in `OPENCLAW_NIX_MODE=1` while keeping normal external plugin hardlink rejection unchanged. Thanks @joshp123.
-- Nextcloud Talk: include the required bot `response` feature in setup, explain missing `--feature response` on rejected sends, and surface missing response capability in doctor/status checks. Fixes #78935. (#79657) Thanks @joshavant.

-- Harden macOS shell wrapper allowlist parsing [AI]. (#78518) Thanks @pgondhi987.
-- macOS/config: reject stale or destructive app fallback config writes before direct replacement and keep rejected payloads as private audit artifacts, so `gateway.mode`, metadata, and auth are not silently clobbered. Fixes #64973 and #74890. Thanks @BunsDev.
-- Gateway/macOS: include Apple Silicon Homebrew bin and sbin directories in generated LaunchAgent service PATHs and service-audit expectations so `openclaw gateway restart` keeps Homebrew Node installs reachable. Fixes #79232. Thanks @BunsDev and @TurboTheTurtle.
-- Doctor/OpenAI: stop pinning migrated `openai-codex/*` routes to the Codex runtime so mixed-provider agents keep automatic PI routing for MiniMax, Anthropic, and other non-OpenAI model switches.
-- Gateway/macOS: `openclaw gateway stop` now uses `launchctl bootout` by default instead of unconditionally calling `launchctl disable`, so KeepAlive auto-recovery still works after unexpected crashes; use the new `--disable` flag to opt into the persistent-disable behavior when a manual stop should survive reboots. Fixes #77934. Thanks @bmoran1022.
-- Gateway/macOS: `repairLaunchAgentBootstrap` no longer kickstarts an already-running LaunchAgent, preventing unnecessary service restarts and session disconnects when repair runs against a healthy gateway. Fixes #77428. Thanks @ramitrkar-hash.
-- Gateway/macOS: `openclaw gateway stop --disable` now persists the LaunchAgent disable bit even after a previous bootout left the service not loaded, keeping the explicit stay-down path reliable. (#78412) Thanks @wdeveloper16.
-- CLI/status: keep lean `openclaw status --json` off manifest-backed channel discovery so configured-channel checks do not repeatedly rescan plugin metadata. Fixes #79129.
-- Control UI/chat: hide retired and non-public Google Gemini model IDs from chat model catalogs and route the bare `gemini-3-pro` alias to Gemini 3.1 Pro Preview instead of the shut-down Gemini 3 Pro Preview. Thanks @BunsDev.
-- CLI/infer: canonicalize case-only catalog model refs in `infer model run --model` so mixed-case provider/model strings resolve to the canonical catalog entry instead of failing with `Unknown model`. (#78940) Thanks @ai-hpc.
-- CLI/install: refuse state-mutating OpenClaw CLI runs as root by default, keep an explicit `OPENCLAW_ALLOW_ROOT=1` escape hatch for intentional root/container use, and update DigitalOcean setup guidance to run OpenClaw as a non-root user. Fixes #67478. Thanks @Jerry-Xin and @natechicago.
-- Auto-reply/media: resolve `scp` from `PATH` when staging sandbox media so nonstandard OpenSSH installs can copy remote attachments.
-- Agents/PI: route PI-native OpenAI-compatible default streams through OpenClaw boundary-aware transports so local-compatible model runs keep API-key injection and transport policy.
-- Gateway/media: require authenticated owner or admin context for managed outgoing image bytes instead of trusting requester-session headers.
-- Doctor/gateway: avoid duplicate Node runtime warnings when the daemon install plan already selected a supported Node runtime.
-- Gateway/nodes: ignore malformed non-string capability entries from live nodes instead of throwing while listing the node catalog.
-- Gateway/pairing: preserve deliberately narrowed role-token scopes when approving device scope upgrades instead of regranting the whole approved baseline.
-- Telegram/ACP: keep chat-bound ACP replies durable by delivering final-only ACP output as final text instead of transient Telegram preview blocks. Thanks @shakkernerd.
-- Telegram: hydrate replied-to messages as a persisted nearest-first reply chain so agents can see observed parent text, media refs, captions, senders, timestamps, and nested replies instead of guessing from a shallow reply id.
-- Gateway/watch: leave `OPENCLAW_TRACE_SYNC_IO` disabled by default in `pnpm gateway:watch:raw` so watch mode avoids noisy Node sync-I/O stack traces unless explicitly requested.
-- Codex app-server: close stdio stdin before force-killing the managed app-server, matching Codex single-client shutdown behavior and avoiding unsettled CLI exits after successful runs.
-- CLI/Codex: dispose registered agent harnesses during short-lived CLI shutdown so successful Codex-backed `agent --local` runs do not leave app-server child processes alive.
-- Agents/Codex: auto-enable the Codex harness plugin for one-shot OpenAI model overrides so `openclaw agent --local --model openai/...` does not fail with an unregistered `codex` harness.
-- Gateway/live tests: avoid full model-registry enumeration for explicit provider-qualified live model filters, preventing `.profile` OpenAI gateway profile runs from hanging before provider dispatch.
-- Gateway/status: surface CLI and gateway runtime versions, warn about stale PATH/global wrappers when they differ, and add stale-wrapper checks to the newer-config warning. Refs #79091. Thanks @RamaAditya49 and @sallyom.
-- Google/Gemini: retry stalled Gemini 3 preview direct API-key streams with a lean first-response payload and share Gemini tool-schema cleanup across direct Google and Gemini CLI providers, so main sessions with coding tools can recover before the LLM idle watchdog fires. (#79668) Thanks @joshavant.
-- Providers: preserve non-OK `text/event-stream` response bodies so provider HTTP errors keep their JSON detail instead of collapsing to generic streaming failures. Fixes #78180.
-- Gateway/auth: make explicit `trusted-proxy` mode fail closed instead of accepting local password fallback credentials after trusted-proxy identity checks fail. Fixes #78684.
-- Active memory: treat Google Chat `spaces/...` conversation ids as scoped targets instead of runnable channel names so recall runs no longer fail bundled-plugin dirName validation. Fixes #78918.
-- Active memory: make `/active-memory status` honor the configured agent allowlist instead of reporting on for agents where recall is disabled. Fixes #78986.
-- Mistral: normalize structured OpenAI-compatible completions content blocks so thinking objects are not persisted as `[object Object]` visible reply text. Fixes #78846.
-- Tools/session status: render the active heartbeat/run model for `session_status({"sessionKey":"current"})` instead of falling back to the persisted session default. Fixes #77493.
-- Doctor/secrets: allow safe inherited exec SecretRef `passEnv` names such as `HOME` while still blocking dangerous runtime env hooks. Fixes #78216.
-- Chat commands: make `/model default` reset the session model override instead of treating it as a literal model name. Fixes #78182.
-- Cron: make rejected `payload.model` errors show the configured `agents.defaults.models` allowlist instead of echoing the rejected model twice. Fixes #79058.

-- Providers/network: honor IPv4 CIDR and octet-wildcard `NO_PROXY` entries such as `100.64.0.0/10` and `100.64.*` before enabling trusted env-proxy mode for model-provider requests. Fixes #79030.
-- Skills: cap skills watcher directory traversal at the same depth used by skill discovery so large non-skill trees under configured skill roots do not exhaust file descriptors on startup. Fixes #75501. Thanks @wzq-xzwj.

-- Installer: when npm installs `openclaw` outside the parent shell PATH, print follow-up commands with the resolved binary path instead of telling users to run `openclaw` from a shell that will report `command not found`. Fixes #72382. Thanks @jbob762.
-- Plugins/runtime: share MIME and JSON Schema helpers across bundled plugins while preserving canonical media MIME inference, browser URL wildcard semantics, migration home-path resolution, QA request-limit responses, and extensionless text file previews.
-- Agents/memory flush: persist the pre-increment compaction counter after flush-triggered compaction so consecutive eligible compaction cycles run memoryFlush instead of alternating. Fixes #12590. Refs #12760, #26145, and #46513. Thanks @Kaspre, @lailoo, @drvoss, @Br1an67, and @dial481.

-- Control UI/chat: wait for an in-flight model dropdown patch before sending the next chat message, so immediate sends use the selected session model instead of racing the previous override. Fixes #54240.
-- Native chat: decode gateway-provided thinking metadata for the iOS/macOS picker so provider-specific levels such as `adaptive`, `xhigh`, and `max` appear without leaking unsupported default-model options. Thanks @BunsDev.

-- Auth profiles: normalize inline API keys and tokens loaded from `auth-profiles.json` so masked or rich-text credential artifacts fail as auth errors instead of crashing HTTP header construction. Fixes #77624.
-- llm-task: resolve configured model aliases before embedded dispatch so `model="gemini-flash"` and other aliases route to the intended provider instead of the agent default. Fixes #54166.
-- Media generation: resolve slash-containing model-only overrides like `fal-ai/flux/dev` through registered provider model metadata so FAL image/video models do not get misparsed as provider `fal-ai`. Fixes #77444.
-- Commands/BTW: show the `/btw` missing-question usage placeholder with brackets so outbound channel sanitization keeps it visible. Fixes #62877. Thanks @RajvardhanPatil07.
-- CLI backends: keep versioned OAuth identity matches reusable when auth profile ids rotate, so Claude CLI sessions do not reset and lose continuity during same-account OAuth refresh/profile alias changes. Fixes #78541.
-- Model providers: normalize APNG sniffed PNG uploads, preserve Gemini 3 tool-call thought-signature replay with documented fallback signatures, accept legacy `__env__:VAR` custom-provider keys, and repair snake_case tool-call transcript sanitization. Fixes #51881, #48915, #77566, and #42858.
-- Telegram/models: parse provider ids containing dots in `/models` callback buttons so `hf.co` model lists render as inline keyboard buttons. Fixes #38745.
-- Amazon Bedrock: refresh shared AWS profile/config file credentials before Bedrock model, discovery, and embedding requests so long-running Gateway processes pick up renewed profile credentials without restart. Fixes #77551.
-- Amazon Bedrock: treat named `aws-sdk` auth profiles as config routing metadata instead of stored credentials, and let `doctor --fix` move legacy markers out of `auth-profiles.json`. Fixes #69708.
-- Anthropic: reject uppercase provider-prefixed forward-compat model ids locally instead of sending malformed dynamic ids upstream. Fixes #73715.
-- OpenAI/embeddings: pass configured output dimensionality through single and batched embedding requests so memory embedding indexes can request smaller vectors. Fixes #55126.
-- CLI/infer: normalize HEIC/HEIF image files to JPEG before model-run requests, avoiding providers that reject Apple image container formats. Fixes #50081.
-- CLI/infer: fall back to macOS `sips` when optional image tooling cannot decode HEIC/HEIF input files before model-run requests. Refs #50081.
-- OpenRouter: keep the default `openrouter/auto` model ref canonical while preventing TUI and Control UI catalog pickers from displaying or submitting `openrouter/openrouter/auto`. Fixes #62655.
-- Status/Claude CLI: show `oauth (claude-cli)` for working Claude CLI OAuth runtime sessions instead of `unknown` when no local auth profile exists. Fixes #78632. Thanks @gorkem2020.
-- Memory search: preserve keyword-only hybrid FTS matches when vector scoring is unavailable or below the configured minimum score, so exact lexical hits are not dropped by weighted min-score filtering.
-- Exec approvals/node: let trusted backend node invokes complete no-device Control UI approvals after the original request connection changes, while keeping node, command, cwd, env, and allow-once replay bindings enforced. Fixes #78569. Thanks @naturedogdog.
-- Agents/subagents: keep background completion delivery on the requester-agent handoff/queue-retry path instead of raw-sending child results directly, and strip child-result wrapper or OpenClaw runtime-context scaffolding from queued outbound retries. Fixes #78531. Thanks @EthanSK.
-- Sandbox: recreate cached browser bridges when JavaScript-evaluation permission changes, keep failed prune removals tracked for retry, and make cross-device directory moves copy-then-commit without partially emptying the source on failure.
-- CLI/completion: guard the shell-profile source line written by `openclaw completion --install` with a file existence check (`[ -f ... ] && source ...` for bash/zsh, `test -f ...; and source ...` for fish) so uninstalling OpenClaw no longer makes new login shells error on a missing completion cache. (#78659) Thanks @sjf.
-- Cron/doctor: repair persisted cron jobs whose `payload.model` was stored as `"default"`, `"null"`, blank, or JSON `null` by removing the bad override during `openclaw doctor --fix` while keeping cron runtime model validation strict. Fixes #78549. Thanks @bizzle12368239.
-- Telegram: honor `accessGroup:*` sender allowlists for DMs, groups, native commands, and callback authorization before applying Telegram's numeric sender-ID checks. Fixes #78660. Thanks @manugc.
-- Telegram: fail private-topic sends instead of retrying them as plain DMs when Telegram rejects the topic id, keeping private-topic `message_thread_id` routing intact. Fixes #79455. (#78575) Thanks @tmimmanuel.
-- Agent delivery: report `deliverySucceeded=false` when outbound delivery returns no adapter result, so claimed/empty delivery paths no longer masquerade as successful sends. Fixes #78532. Thanks @joeyfrasier.
-- Cron/isolated runs: fail implicit announce delivery before model execution when `delivery.channel=last` has no previous route, so recurring jobs do not spend tokens before hitting a permanent delivery-target error. Fixes #78608. Thanks @sallyom.
-- Gateway/sessions: persist a new generated transcript file when daily gateway-agent session rollover changes the session id, while preserving custom transcript paths. Fixes #78607. Thanks @nailujac, @zerone0x, and @sallyom.
-- Doctor/OpenAI Codex: repair legacy `openai-codex/*` agent model refs and stale OpenAI PI session pins to `openai/*` with the Codex runtime, preserving existing `openai-codex` auth profiles so ChatGPT/Codex OAuth users do not fall back to OpenAI API-key routing. Fixes #78407.
-- Telegram: keep the polling watchdog tied to `getUpdates` liveness so unrelated outbound Bot API calls cannot mask a wedged inbound poller. Fixes #78422. Thanks @ai-hpc.
-- Discord/groups: instruct group-chat agents to stay silent when a message is addressed to someone else, replying only when invited or correcting key facts. (#78615)
-- Discord/groups: tell Discord-channel agents to wrap bare URLs as `<https://example.com>` so link previews do not expand into uninvited embeds. (#78614)
-- Agents/fallback: fail fast on session write-lock timeouts instead of trying fallback models for local file contention. Fixes #66646. Thanks @sallyom.
-- Browser/SSRF: stop closing user-owned Chrome tabs when a read-only operation (snapshot/screenshot/interactions) is rejected by the SSRF guard — only OpenClaw-initiated navigations now close on policy denial. Thanks @scotthuang.
-- Telegram/Codex: generate DM topic labels with Codex-compatible simple-completion requests so auto-created private topics can be renamed instead of staying `New Chat`.
-- Plugins/runtime fetch: drop third-party symbol metadata from plain request header dictionaries before passing them into native `fetch` or `Headers`, so SDK and guarded/proxy fetch paths do not reject otherwise valid plugin requests. Fixes #77846. Thanks @shakkernerd.
-- Web fetch: bound guarded dispatcher cleanup after request timeouts so timed-out fetches return tool errors instead of leaving Gateway tool lanes active. (#78439) Thanks @obviyus.
-- Mattermost/setup: prompt for and persist the server base URL after the bot token in `openclaw setup --wizard`, instead of failing validation before `--http-url` is collected. Fixes #76670. Thanks @jacobtomlinson.
-- Gate Slack startup user allowlist resolution [AI]. (#77898) Thanks @pgondhi987.
-- OpenAI/Codex: suppress stale `openai-codex` GPT-5.1/5.2/5.3 model refs that ChatGPT/Codex OAuth accounts now reject, keeping model lists, config validation, and forward-compat resolution on current 5.4/5.5 routes. Fixes #67158. Thanks @drpau.
-- CLI/update: keep pnpm package updates on the running custom global install root and pass pnpm's `--global-dir` so `openclaw update` does not create a second default-prefix install when `OPENCLAW_HOME` or the shell points at a custom OpenClaw directory. Fixes #78377. Thanks @amknight.
-- Google Meet/Voice Call: wait longer before playing PIN-derived Twilio DTMF for Meet dial-in prompts and retire stale delegated phone sessions instead of reusing completed calls.
-- PDF/Codex: include extraction-fallback instructions for `openai-codex/*` PDF tool requests so Codex Responses receives its required system prompt. Fixes #77872. Thanks @anyech.
-- Gateway/startup: keep the Gateway running when a configured optional plugin-owned capability such as a web_search provider or channel points at a known installable plugin that is currently unavailable; startup now logs a config warning and leaves `openclaw doctor --fix` to install or enable the plugin. (#78642) Thanks @joshavant.
-- Onboard/channels: recover externalized channel plugins from stale `channels.<id>` config by falling back to `ensureChannelSetupPluginInstalled` via the trusted catalog when the plugin is missing on disk, so leftover `appId`/token entries no longer dead-end onboard with "<channel> plugin not available." (#78328) Thanks @sliverp.
-- Agents/Gateway: throttle and cap live exec command-output events so noisy tool runs cannot flood Gateway WebSocket clients or starve RPC handling. (#78645) Thanks @joshavant.
-- Codex/app-server: forward the OpenClaw workspace bootstrap block through Codex `developerInstructions` instead of `config.instructions`, so persona/style guidance reaches the behavior-shaping app-server lane. Fixes #77363. Thanks @lonexreb.
-- MS Teams: route proactive channel sends with stored thread roots through the configured threaded reply path instead of forcing every CLI/message-tool send into a new top-level post. Fixes #78298. Thanks @amknight.
-- CLI/infer: pass minimal instructions to local `openai-codex/*` model probes and surface provider error details when `infer model run` returns no text. Fixes #76464. Thanks @lilesjtu.
-- Dependencies: override transitive `ip-address` to `10.2.0` so the runtime lockfile no longer includes the vulnerable `10.1.0` build flagged by Dependabot alert 109. Thanks @vincentkoc.
-- Plugins/install: apply OpenClaw's npm security overrides inside managed external plugin npm roots so hoisted plugin dependencies inherit the host package hardening. Thanks @vincentkoc.
-- Plugins/install: skip npm peer resolution in managed plugin roots so installing peer-based plugins such as Opik cannot pull a stale registry `openclaw` copy beside Codex/Discord/WhatsApp and trigger `ERESOLVE`. Thanks @vincentkoc.
-- Plugins/uninstall: run managed npm cleanup even when a plugin package directory is already missing, preventing stale package manifests from reinstalling removed plugins on the next npm install.
-- Feishu: hydrate missing native topic starter thread IDs before session routing so first turns and follow-ups stay in the same topic session. Fixes #78262. Thanks @joeyzenghuan.
-- Memory Wiki: skip empty and whitespace-only source pages when refreshing generated Related blocks, preventing blank pages from being rewritten into Related-only stubs. Fixes #78121. Thanks @amknight.
-- LINE: reject `dmPolicy: "open"` configs without wildcard `allowFrom` so webhook DMs fail validation instead of being acknowledged and silently blocked before inbound processing. Fixes #78316.
-- Telegram/Codex: keep message-tool-only progress drafts visible and render native Codex tool progress once per tool instead of duplicating item/tool draft lines. Fixes #75641. (#77949) Thanks @keshavbotagent.
-- Telegram: keep duplicate message-tool-only Codex turns from posting generic silent-reply fallback text, so private finals stay private after inbound dedupe. Thanks @rubencu.
-- Telegram/sessions: gap-fill delivered embedded final replies into the session JSONL even when the runner trace is missing, so Telegram answers after tool calls do not vanish from the durable transcript. Fixes #77814. (#78426) Thanks @obviyus, @ChushulSuri, and @DougButdorf.
-- Providers/xAI: stop sending OpenAI-style reasoning effort controls to native Grok Responses models, so `xai/grok-4.3` no longer fails live Docker/Gateway runs with `Invalid reasoning effort`.
-- Providers/xAI: clamp the bundled xAI thinking profile to `off` so live Gateway runs cannot send unsupported reasoning levels to native Grok Responses models.
-- Matrix/approvals: retry approval delivery up to 3 times with a short backoff so transient Matrix send failures do not strand pending approval prompts. (#78179) Thanks @Patrick-Erichsen.
-- Cron/heartbeat: let restricted cron-triggered runs read their own status and current-job list metadata again, preventing heartbeat STATUS freshness checks from going stale while preserving self-remove-only mutation limits. Fixes #78208. Thanks @amknight.
-- Discord/gateway: measure heartbeat ACK timeouts from the actual heartbeat send, preventing late initial heartbeats from triggering false reconnect loops while the channel is still awaiting readiness. Fixes #77668. (#78087) Thanks @bryce-d-greybeard and @NikolaFC.
-- Channels/cron: ignore stale runtime conversation bindings that point at completed isolated cron run sessions, so follow-up DMs fall back to their normal route instead of reusing a closed cron task prompt. Fixes #78074. Thanks @amknight.
-- Discord/guilds: route plain text control commands such as `/steer` through the normal authorization and mention gate instead of silently dropping them before an agent session can see them. Fixes #78080. Thanks @ramitrkar-hash.
-- Control UI/Sessions: make the compaction count a compact `N Checkpoint(s)` disclosure and show expanded session-level details with modern checkpoint history cards across responsive table layouts. Thanks @BunsDev.
-- Control UI/performance: keep chat and channel tabs responsive while history payloads and channel probes are slow, label partial channel status, and record slow chat/config render timings in the event log. Thanks @BunsDev.
-- ACP: preserve streamed chunk boundaries in background-task progress summaries so CJK text, paths, URLs, and identifiers are no longer split with synthetic spaces. Fixes #78312. Thanks @amknight.
-- Control UI/sessions: fire the documented `/new` command and lifecycle hooks only for explicit Control UI session creation, restoring session-memory and custom hook capture without changing SDK parent-session creates. Fixes #76957. Thanks @BunsDev.
-- Exec approvals: fall back to a guarded copy when Windows rejects rename-overwrite for `exec-approvals.json`, while preserving symlink, hard-link, and owner-only permission safeguards. Fixes #77785. (#77907) Thanks @Alex-Alaniz and @MilleniumGenAI.
-- Slack: preserve Socket Mode SDK error context and structured Slack API fields in reconnect logs, so startup failures no longer collapse to a bare `unknown error`.
-- Agents/subagents: preserve the delegated task prompt when a spawned target agent uses `systemPromptOverride`, so `sessions_spawn(mode: "run")` child runs still see their assigned task. Fixes #77950. Thanks @amknight.
-- iOS pairing: allow setup-code and manual `ws://` connects for private LAN and `.local` gateways while keeping Tailscale/public routes on `wss://`, and prefer explicit gateway passwords over stale bootstrap tokens in mixed-auth reconnects. Fixes #47887; carries forward #65185. Thanks @draix and @BunsDev.
-- Node/Windows: fall back to the Startup-folder launcher when Spanish-localized `schtasks` reports `Acceso denegado`, matching the existing access-denied fallback path. Fixes #77993. Thanks @jackonedev.
 - 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.
-- Control UI/chat: keep persisted assistant progress text visible when the same transcript turn also contains tool-use metadata, so chat.history reloads no longer make those replies vanish after the next user message. Fixes #77374. Thanks @BunsDev.
-- Cron: repair persisted future `nextRunAtMs` values that no longer line up with the cron schedule, so daily timezone-aware jobs do not stay jumped to stale future dates. Fixes #77867. Thanks @hongfangsong.
 - 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.
-- Agents/compaction: treat visible custom-message, bash, and branch-summary entries as real conversation anchors so safeguard mode does not write empty fallback summaries for cron and split-turn sessions with substantive tool work. Fixes #78300. Thanks @amknight.
-- Network/runtime: avoid importing Undici's package dispatcher during no-proxy timeout bootstrap so external channel plugin fetch requests with explicit Content-Length keep working. Fixes #78007. Thanks @shakkernerd.
 - Gateway/shutdown: cancel delayed post-ready maintenance during close and suppress maintenance/cron startup after quick restarts, preventing orphaned background timers. Thanks @vincentkoc.
-- Agents/TTS: send media-bearing block replies directly when block streaming is off, so agent `tts` tool audio attached to a final text reply is delivered instead of being consumed before final Telegram/media delivery. Thanks @Conan-Scott.
 - 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.
-- Gateway/performance: reuse the current compatible plugin metadata snapshot across hot read-only status, channel, auth, skills, and embedded agent settings paths, avoiding repeated synchronous plugin metadata scans during Gateway activity. Fixes #77983. 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.
-- Plugins: dispatch cached descriptor-backed tools by the resolved runtime tool name for unnamed factories, fixing multi-tool plugins whose shared manifest contracts exposed sibling tools but failed at execution. Fixes #78671. Thanks @zanni098.
 - 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.
-- Plugins/update: repair plugin-local `openclaw` peer links for all recorded npm plugins after any npm update mutates the shared managed npm tree, so targeted or batch updates cannot leave Codex, Discord, or Brave with pruned SDK imports. (#77787) Thanks @ProspectOre.
-- Codex harness: honor `models.providers.openai-codex.models[].contextTokens` for native `openai/*` Codex runtime runs and `/status` context reporting, so subscription-backed Codex agents use the configured OAuth context cap without inflating past the runtime model window. Fixes #77858. Thanks @lilesjtu.
-- Sessions cleanup: add `openclaw sessions cleanup --fix-dm-scope` so operators who return `session.dmScope` to `main` can dry-run and retire stale direct-DM session rows while preserving transcripts as deleted archives. Fixes #47561 and #45554. Thanks @BunsDev.
 - 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.

-- WhatsApp: send captioned `MEDIA:` directive auto-replies once instead of emitting an empty media message before the captioned media reply. (#78770) Thanks @ai-hpc.
-- Hooks/cron: log returned `/hooks/agent` isolated-run errors and failed cron jobs with cron diagnostic summaries, so rejected `payload.model` values are visible instead of looking like accepted-but-missing runs. Fixes #78597. (#78655) Thanks @kevinslin.
-- Managed proxy/security: classify raw socket callsites and proxy runtime mutations in boundary checks so new direct egress or unmanaged proxy-state changes cannot land without explicit review. (#77126) Thanks @jesse-merhi.
-- Channels/iMessage: surface the silent group-allowlist drop at default log level by emitting a one-time `warn` per account at monitor startup when `channels.imessage.groupPolicy: "allowlist"` is set without a `channels.imessage.groups` block, plus a one-time `warn` per `chat_id` when the runtime gate drops a specific group, naming the exact `channels.imessage.groups[...]` key to add to allow it. Fixes #78749. (#79190) Thanks @omarshahine.
-- WhatsApp: stop Gateway-originated outbound echoes from advancing inbound activity in `openclaw channels status`, so outbound self-sends no longer look like handled inbound messages. Fixes #79056. (#79057) Thanks @ai-hpc and @bittoby.
-- Gateway/nodes: preserve the live node registry session and invoke ownership when an older same-node WebSocket closes after reconnecting. (#78351) Thanks @samzong.
-- Browser/downloads: route explicit and managed browser download output directories through `fs-safe` validation before staging final files, so symlinked output roots are rejected before writes. (#78780) Thanks @jesse-merhi.
-- Agents/PI: skip the idle wait during aborted embedded-run cleanup, so stopped or timed-out runs clear pending tool state and release the session lock promptly. (#74919) Thanks @medns.
-- Agents/current-time: split UTC into a separate `Reference UTC:` prompt line so local `Current time:` stays anchored to the user's timezone. (#42654) Thanks @chencheng-li.
-- Agents/reasoning: keep embedded reasoning deltas raw for correct same-line streaming while preserving formatted Telegram, Feishu, Discord, and heartbeat delivery at the channel edge. (#78397) Thanks @medns.
-- Agents/failover: rotate auth profiles before deferred cooldown marking on rate-limit failures, so file-lock contention cannot stall profile failover. Fixes #57281. (#57283) Thanks @jeremyknows.
-- Gateway/sessions: when `session.dmScope: "main"` is configured, route a bare webchat `/new` against the agent's main session (`sessions.create` with `emitCommandHooks=true`) to an in-place reset instead of creating a parallel `dashboard:` child, matching `/new` behavior on Telegram/Discord. Fixes #77434. (#71170) Thanks @statxc.
-- Scripts/UI/Windows: launch `.cmd` and `.bat` UI runners through the shared cmd.exe escaping path with shell mode disabled, avoiding Node.js v24 DEP0190 warnings while preserving argument boundaries. (#62910) Thanks @nandanadileep.
+- 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.

 - 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.
-- Agents/compaction: ignore pre-usage transcript metadata bytes when stale token snapshots estimate preflight compaction pressure, while still counting post-usage transcript tail pressure. Fixes #78604. Thanks @amknight.
 - 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.

 - Agents/idle-timeout: add a cost-runaway breaker to the outer embedded-run retry loop that halts further attempts after 5 consecutive idle timeouts without completed model progress, so a wedged provider can no longer fan paid model calls out across the same run; completed text or tool-call progress resets the breaker, but partial tool-argument token dribbles do not. Fixes #76293. Thanks @ThePuma312.
 - Heartbeats/Codex: align structured heartbeat prompts with actual `heartbeat_respond` tool availability, stop sending legacy `HEARTBEAT_OK` when the tool exists, and keep tool-disabled commitment check-ins on the legacy ack path. Thanks @pashpashpash and @vincentkoc.
 - Agent runtimes: fail explicit plugin runtime selections honestly when the requested harness is unavailable instead of silently falling back to the embedded PI runtime. Thanks @pashpashpash.
-- Telegram: log inbound gateway watch messages before dispatch so watch-mode diagnostics include incoming message summaries. Thanks @rubencu.
 - Maintainer workflow: push prepared PR heads through GitHub's verified commit API by default and require an explicit override before git-protocol pushes can publish unsigned commits. Thanks @BunsDev.
 - Feishu: resolve setup/status probes through the selected/default account so multi-account configs with account-scoped app credentials show as configured and probeable. Fixes #72930. Thanks @brokemac79.
 - Gateway/responses: emit every client tool call from `/v1/responses` JSON and SSE responses when the agent invokes multiple client tools in a single turn, so multi-tool plans, graph orchestration calls, and similar batched flows no longer drop every call but the last. Fixes #52288. Thanks @CharZhou and @bonelli.

-<h3>Fixes</h3>
-<ul>
-<li>Release/plugin publishing: retry transient ClawHub CLI dependency install failures, keep preview-passing plugins publishable when one preview cell flakes, and verify every expected ClawHub package version after publish so maintenance releases are faster to recover and less likely to hide partial plugin publishes.</li>
-<li>OpenAI: support <code>openai/chat-latest</code> as an explicit direct API-key model override for trying the moving ChatGPT Instant API alias without changing the stable default model.</li>
-<li>Cron CLI: include computed <code>status</code> in <code>cron list --json</code> and <code>cron show --json</code> output so external tooling can read disabled/running/ok/error/skipped/idle state without reimplementing cron status derivation. (#78701) Thanks @aweiker.</li>
-<li>Channels CLI: make <code>openclaw channels list</code> channel-only, add <code>--all</code> for bundled and catalog channels, render installed/configured/enabled state, and move model auth/usage details to <code>openclaw models auth list</code>, <code>openclaw status</code>, and <code>openclaw models list</code>. (#78456) Thanks @sliverp.</li>
-<li>Native commands: honor owner enforcement for native command handlers. (#78864) Thanks @pgondhi987.</li>
-<li>Active Memory: require admin scope for global memory toggles. (#78863) Thanks @pgondhi987.</li>
-<li>Gateway/sessions: clear cached skills snapshots during <code>/new</code> and <code>sessions.reset</code> so long-lived channel sessions rebuild the visible skill list after skills change. (#78873) Thanks @Evizero.</li>
-<li>Auto-reply: gate inline skill tool dispatch through before-tool-call authorization hooks. (#78517) Thanks @pgondhi987.</li>
-<li>Tavily: resolve dedicated <code>tavily_search</code> and <code>tavily_extract</code> tool credentials from the active runtime config snapshot, so <code>exec</code> SecretRef-backed API keys do not reach the tools unresolved. (#78610) Thanks @VACInc.</li>
-<li>Plugins/install: use the same absolute POSIX npm lifecycle shell for managed plugin install, rollback, repair, and uninstall npm operations as staged package updates, preventing restricted PATH shells from breaking cleanup. Thanks @vincentkoc.</li>
-<li>Agents/context engine: invalidate cached assembled context views when source history shrinks or assembly fails, preventing stale pre-reset history from being reused. Fixes #77968. (#78163) Thanks @brokemac79 and @ChrisBot2026.</li>
-<li>Discord/message: parse provider-prefixed targets like <code>discord:channel:<id></code> as channel sends instead of legacy Discord DM targets, so cross-channel agent <code>message(action="send")</code> calls no longer misroute channel IDs into misleading <code>Unknown Channel</code> failures. Fixes #78572.</li>
-<li>Agents/compaction: clamp compaction summary reserve tokens to each model's output limit so high-context compaction no longer requests invalid <code>max_tokens</code> values. (#54392) Thanks @adzendo.</li>
-<li>Commands/BTW: show the <code>/btw</code> missing-question usage placeholder with brackets so outbound channel sanitization keeps it visible. Fixes #62877. Thanks @RajvardhanPatil07.</li>
-<li>Cron/doctor: repair persisted cron jobs whose <code>payload.model</code> was stored as <code>"default"</code>, <code>"null"</code>, blank, or JSON <code>null</code> by removing the bad override during <code>openclaw doctor --fix</code> while keeping cron runtime model validation strict. Fixes #78549. Thanks @bizzle12368239.</li>
-<li>Telegram: honor <code>accessGroup:*</code> sender allowlists for DMs, groups, native commands, and callback authorization before applying Telegram's numeric sender-ID checks. Fixes #78660. Thanks @manugc.</li>
-<li>Agent delivery: report <code>deliverySucceeded=false</code> when outbound delivery returns no adapter result, so claimed/empty delivery paths no longer masquerade as successful sends. Fixes #78532. Thanks @joeyfrasier.</li>
-<li>Cron/isolated runs: fail implicit announce delivery before model execution when <code>delivery.channel=last</code> has no previous route, so recurring jobs do not spend tokens before hitting a permanent delivery-target error. Fixes #78608. Thanks @sallyom.</li>
-<li>Gateway/sessions: persist a new generated transcript file when daily gateway-agent session rollover changes the session id, while preserving custom transcript paths. Fixes #78607. Thanks @nailujac, @zerone0x, and @sallyom.</li>
-<li>Doctor/Codex OAuth: preserve working <code>openai-codex/*</code> PI routes during <code>doctor --fix</code> and recover 2026.5.5-rewritten <code>openai/*</code> GPT-5 routes when only Codex OAuth auth is available, so update repair does not break subscription-auth setups. Fixes #78407. Thanks @shakkernerd.</li>
-<li>Telegram: keep the polling watchdog tied to <code>getUpdates</code> liveness so unrelated outbound Bot API calls cannot mask a wedged inbound poller. Fixes #78422. Thanks @ai-hpc.</li>
-<li>Agents/subagents: have completed session-mode subagent registry rows honor <code>agents.defaults.subagents.archiveAfterMinutes</code> instead of a hardcoded 5-minute TTL, so registry-backed surfaces keep one retention knob across spawn modes. (#78263) Thanks @arniesaha.</li>
-<li>Plugins/channel setup: forward <code>setChannelRuntime</code> from non-bundled external plugin setup entries so deferred external channel runtime initializers are installed before startup polling. Fixes #77779. (#77799) Thanks @openperf.</li>
-<li>Telegram: treat successful same-chat <code>message</code> tool outbound sends during an inbound Telegram turn as delivered when deciding whether to emit the rewritten silent reply fallback. (#78685) Thanks @neeravmakwana.</li>
-<li>Gateway/tasks: reconcile stale CLI run-context tasks whose live run context disappeared and bound channel hot-reload deferrals so stale task records cannot block Discord/Slack/Telegram reloads forever.</li>
-<li>Discord/voice: audit Discord voice-channel permissions in <code>channels capabilities</code> and <code>channels status --probe</code>, including auto-join targets, so missing Connect/Speak/Read Message History permissions show up before <code>/vc join</code>.</li>
-<li>Discord/voice: make voice capture less choppy by extending the default post-speech silence grace to 2.5s, add <code>voice.captureSilenceGraceMs</code> for noisy Discord sessions, and tighten the spoken-output prompt around live STT fragments. Thanks @vincentkoc.</li>
-<li>WhatsApp: route proactive phone-number sends through Baileys LID forward mappings when available, so LID-addressed contacts receive agent messages instead of creating sender-only ghost chats. Fixes #67378. (#74925) Thanks @edenfunf.</li>
-<li>WhatsApp: send captioned <code>MEDIA:</code> directive auto-replies once instead of emitting an empty media message before the captioned media reply. (#78770) Thanks @ai-hpc.</li>
-<li>Codex/approvals: in Codex approval modes, stop installing the pre-guardian native <code>PermissionRequest</code> hook by default so Codex's reviewer can approve safe commands before OpenClaw surfaces an approval, remember <code>allow-always</code> decisions for identical Codex native <code>PermissionRequest</code> payloads within the active session window, and make plugin approval requests validate/render their actual allowed decisions so Telegram and other native approval UIs cannot offer stale actions. Thanks @shakkernerd.</li>
-<li>Model providers: normalize APNG sniffed PNG uploads, preserve Gemini 3 tool-call thought-signature replay with fallback signatures, accept legacy <code>__env__:VAR</code> custom-provider keys, and repair snake_case tool-call transcript sanitization. Fixes #51881, #48915, #77566, and #42858.</li>
-<li>Telegram/models: parse provider ids containing dots in <code>/models</code> callback buttons so <code>hf.co</code> model lists render as inline keyboard buttons. Fixes #38745.</li>

+<h3>Changes</h3>
+<ul>
+<li>Sandbox/Docker: add opt-in <code>sandbox.docker.gpus</code> passthrough for Docker sandbox containers so local GPU workloads can run inside sandboxed agents when the host Docker runtime supports <code>--gpus</code>. Fixes #57976; carries forward #58124. Thanks @cyan-ember.</li>
+<li>iOS/Gateway: add an authenticated <code>node.presence.alive</code> protocol event and <code>node.list</code> last-seen fields so background iOS wakes can mark paired nodes recently alive without treating them as connected. Carries forward #63123. Thanks @ngutman.</li>
+<li>Android: publish authenticated <code>node.presence.alive</code> events after node connect and background transitions so paired Android nodes retain durable last-seen metadata after disconnects. Carries forward #63123. Thanks @ngutman.</li>
+<li>Gateway/chat: accept non-image attachments through <code>chat.send</code> by staging them as agent-readable media paths, while keeping unsupported RPC attachment paths explicit instead of silently dropping files. Fixes #48123. (#67572) Thanks @samzong.</li>
+<li>Security/networking: add opt-in operator-managed outbound proxy routing (proxy.enabled + proxy.proxyUrl/OPENCLAW_PROXY_URL) with strict http:// forward-proxy validation, loopback-only Gateway bypass, and cleanup of proxy env/dispatcher state on exit. (#70044) Thanks @jesse-merhi and @joshavant.</li>
+<li>Dependencies: refresh provider and tooling dependencies, including AWS SDK, PI runtime packages, AJV, Feishu SDK, Anthropic SDK, tokenjuice, and native TypeScript/oxlint tooling. Thanks @dependabot.</li>
+<li>Matrix/QA: add live Matrix approval scenarios for exec metadata, chunked fallback, plugin approvals, deny reactions, thread targeting, and <code>target: "both"</code> delivery, with redacted artifacts preserving safe approval summaries. Thanks @gumadeiras.</li>
+<li>Codex: add Computer Use setup for Codex-mode agents, including <code>/codex computer-use status/install</code>, marketplace discovery, optional auto-install, and fail-closed MCP server checks before Codex-mode turns start. Fixes #72094. (#71842) Thanks @pash-openai.</li>
+<li>Apps: consume Peekaboo 3.0.0-beta4 and ElevenLabsKit 0.1.1, align Swabble on Commander 0.2.2, and refresh macOS/iOS SwiftPM resolutions against the released dependency graph. Thanks @Blaizzy.</li>
+<li>Plugin SDK: expose shared channel route normalization, parser-driven target resolution, raw-target compact keys, parsed-target types, and route comparison helpers through <code>openclaw/plugin-sdk/channel-route</code>, switch native approval origin matching onto that route contract with optional delivery and match-only target normalization, and retire the internal channel-route shim behind dated compatibility aliases for legacy key/comparable-target helpers. Thanks @vincentkoc.</li>
+<li>Docs/Codex: document how Codex Computer Use, direct <code>cua-driver mcp</code>, and OpenClaw.app's PeekabooBridge fit together so desktop-control setup choices are clearer. Thanks @pash-openai and @trycua.</li>
+<li>Matrix/streaming: stream tool-progress updates into live Matrix preview edits by default when preview streaming is active, with <code>streaming.preview.toolProgress: false</code> to keep answer previews while hiding interim tool lines. Thanks @gumadeiras.</li>
+<li>Plugins/models: wire manifest <code>modelCatalog.aliases</code> and <code>modelCatalog.suppressions</code> into model-catalog planning and built-in model suppression, with stale Spark and Qwen Coding Plan suppressions now declared in plugin manifests instead of runtime fallback hooks. Thanks @shakkernerd.</li>
+<li>Plugin SDK/models: add a shared manifest-backed provider catalog builder and move Qianfan, Xiaomi, NVIDIA, Cerebras, Mistral, Moonshot, DeepSeek, Tencent TokenHub, and StepFun provider catalogs onto their plugin manifest <code>modelCatalog</code> rows. Thanks @shakkernerd.</li>
+<li>Plugin SDK/models: move BytePlus and Volcano Engine standard and plan-provider catalogs into plugin manifest <code>modelCatalog</code> rows and remove the now-unused Volcengine-family shared catalog SDK subpath. Thanks @shakkernerd.</li>
+<li>CLI/models: move Fireworks and Together AI fixed provider catalogs into plugin manifest <code>modelCatalog</code> rows so provider-filtered listing can use manifest-backed static rows. Thanks @shakkernerd.</li>
+<li>Channels/Yuanbao: register the Tencent Yuanbao external channel plugin (<code>openclaw-plugin-yuanbao</code>) in the official channel catalog, contract suites, and community plugin docs, with a new <code>docs/channels/yuanbao.md</code> quick-start guide for WebSocket bot DMs and group chats. (#72756) Thanks @loongfay.</li>
+<li>Channels/Yuanbao: add a channel docs entrance so the Tencent Yuanbao bot appears in the channel listing and sidebar navigation. (#73443) Thanks @loongfay.</li>
+<li>Channels/QQBot: add full group chat support (history tracking, @-mention gating, activation modes, per-group config, FIFO message queue with deliver debounce), C2C <code>stream_messages</code> streaming with a <code>StreamingController</code> lifecycle manager, unified <code>sendMedia</code> with chunked upload for large files, and refactor the engine into pipeline stages, focused outbound submodules, builtin slash-command modules, and explicit DI ports via <code>createEngineAdapters()</code>. (#70624) Thanks @cxyhhhhh.</li>
+<li>Plugins/startup: migrate bundled plugin manifests to explicit <code>activation.onStartup</code> declarations so Gateway startup imports only the bundled plugins that intentionally register startup-time runtime surfaces. Thanks @shakkernerd.</li>
+<li>Plugins/startup: add an opt-in future-mode gate for disabling deprecated implicit startup sidecar loading while preserving explicit startup and narrower activation triggers. Thanks @shakkernerd.</li>
+<li>Plugins/startup: add plugin compatibility warnings for deprecated implicit startup loading so authors can migrate to explicit <code>activation.onStartup</code> metadata. Thanks @shakkernerd.</li>
+<li>Plugins/runtime: load bundled agent tool-result middleware from manifest contracts on demand so tokenjuice stays startup-lazy without losing Pi/Codex tool-output compaction. Thanks @shakkernerd.</li>
+<li>Plugins/startup: add explicit <code>activation.onStartup</code> metadata so plugins can declare Gateway startup import behavior while the deprecated implicit sidecar fallback remains for legacy plugins. Thanks @shakkernerd.</li>
+<li>Gateway/startup: reuse lookup-table plugin manifests when loading startup plugins so Gateway boot avoids rebuilding plugin discovery and manifest metadata. Thanks @shakkernerd.</li>
+<li>CLI/models: declare fixed Qianfan, Xiaomi, NVIDIA, Cerebras, Mistral, Chutes, Kilo, OpenAI, and OpenCode Go model catalogs in refreshable plugin manifests, keep broad <code>models list --all</code> on raw registry and supplement rows without runtime normalization, and avoid duplicate supplement resolution. Thanks @shakkernerd.</li>
+<li>Gateway/runtime: reuse the current plugin metadata snapshot for provider discovery so repeated model-provider discovery avoids rebuilding plugin manifest metadata. Thanks @shakkernerd.</li>
+<li>Gateway/startup: pass the plugin metadata snapshot from config validation into plugin bootstrap so startup reuses one manifest product instead of rebuilding plugin metadata. Thanks @shakkernerd.</li>
+<li>Plugin SDK/testing: move core-only channel contract fixtures under the channel contract test tree and retire the old <code>test/helpers/channels</code> bridge directory so plugin tests stay on focused SDK surfaces. Thanks @vincentkoc.</li>
+<li>Plugin SDK/testing: expose native agent-runtime contract fixtures through <code>plugin-sdk/agent-runtime-test-contracts</code>, move sandbox config fixtures into the focused generic fixture subpath, and block extension tests from importing repo-only <code>test/helpers</code> bridges. Thanks @vincentkoc.</li>
+<li>Plugin SDK/testing: expose generic module reload, bundled-path, Node builtin mock, channel pairing/envelope, HTTP server, temp-home, replay-policy, and live STT helpers through focused SDK test subpaths so extension tests no longer depend on repo-only helper bridges. Thanks @vincentkoc.</li>
+<li>Plugin SDK: move maintained bundled channels off the deprecated <code>channel-config-schema-legacy</code> subpath, add an explicit bundled-channel schema SDK surface, and track both remaining legacy test/config compatibility barrels with dated removal windows. Thanks @vincentkoc.</li>
+<li>Plugin SDK/testing: expose media provider capability assertions and provider HTTP mocks through focused SDK test subpaths, and retire the repo-only media-generation test helper bridge. Thanks @vincentkoc.</li>
+<li>Plugin SDK/testing: promote bundled plugin/provider/channel contract helpers to focused SDK test subpaths and retire the repo-only <code>test/helpers/plugins</code> TypeScript bridge. Thanks @vincentkoc.</li>
+<li>Plugin SDK/testing: expose generic channel action, setup, status, and directory contract helpers through <code>plugin-sdk/channel-test-helpers</code> so bundled extension tests no longer import repo-only channel helper bridges. Thanks @vincentkoc.</li>
+<li>Plugin SDK/testing: add <code>plugin-sdk/channel-target-testing</code> for shared channel target-resolution cases, document channel reaction helpers on <code>plugin-sdk/channel-feedback</code>, and keep the old <code>plugin-sdk/test-utils</code> alias as compatibility-only. Thanks @vincentkoc.</li>
+<li>Plugin SDK/testing: add a focused generic fixture subpath for CLI capture, sandbox, skill, agent-message, system-event, terminal, chunking, auth-token, and typed-case helpers. Thanks @vincentkoc.</li>
+<li>Plugin SDK/testing: add focused plugin runtime and environment fixture subpaths so plugin tests can avoid the broad <code>plugin-sdk/testing</code> barrel for common setup helpers. Thanks @vincentkoc.</li>
+<li>Plugin SDK/testing: add a focused <code>plugin-sdk/plugin-test-api</code> helper subpath and move bundled plugin registration tests off the repo-only plugin API bridge. Thanks @vincentkoc.</li>
+<li>Plugin SDK: add generic host hooks for session state, next-turn context, trusted tool policy, UI descriptors, events, scheduler cleanup, and run-scoped plugin context. (#72287) Thanks @100yenadmin.</li>
+<li>Plugin SDK/testing: expose provider catalog, wizard, registry, manifest, public-artifact, outbound, and TTS contract helpers through documented SDK testing seams so bundled plugin tests no longer import repo <code>src/**</code> internals. Thanks @vincentkoc.</li>
+<li>Providers/DeepInfra: add a bundled DeepInfra provider with <code>DEEPINFRA_API_KEY</code> onboarding, dynamic OpenAI-compatible model discovery, image generation/editing, image/audio media understanding, TTS, text-to-video, memory embeddings, static catalog metadata, and provider-owned base URL policy. Carries forward #53805, #48088, #37576, #43896, #11533, and #2554. Thanks @ats3v.</li>
+<li>Matrix: attach versioned structured approval metadata to pending approval messages so capable Matrix clients can render richer approval UI while body text and reaction fallback keep working. (#72432) Thanks @kakahu2015.</li>
+</ul>
+<h3>Fixes</h3>
+<ul>
+<li>Gateway/sessions: align <code>chat.history</code> and <code>sessions.list</code> thinking defaults with owning-agent and catalog-aware resolution so Control UI session defaults match backend runtime state. (#63418) Thanks @jpreagan.</li>
+<li>Devices/pairing: recover array-shaped device and node pairing state files before persisting approvals, so UUID-keyed pending and paired entries no longer disappear after a malformed JSON store write. Fixes #63035. Thanks @sar618.</li>
+<li>Gateway/auth: clear reused stale device tokens and stop reconnecting on device-token mismatch in the Control UI and Node gateway clients, avoiding rate-limit loops after scope-upgrade or token-rotation handoffs. Fixes #71609. Thanks @ricksayhi.</li>
+<li>Gateway/approvals: treat duplicate same-decision approval resolves as idempotent during the resolved-entry grace window, including consumed <code>allow-once</code> approvals, while returning an explicit already-resolved error for conflicting repeats. Fixes #59162; refs #58479 and #65486. Thanks @wikithoughts, @sajazuniga7-coder, and @mjmai20682068-create.</li>
+<li>Channels/Telegram: honor <code>approvals.exec/plugin.targets[].accountId</code> when routing native approvals across multi-bot Telegram accounts while preserving unscoped Telegram targets for any account. Fixes #69916. Thanks @joerod26.</li>
+<li>Telegram/gateway: bound outbound Bot API calls and cache bundled plugin alias lookup so slow Telegram sends or WSL2 filesystem scans no longer wedge gateway replies. (#74210) Thanks @obviyus.</li>
+<li>Agents/exec: omit the internal session-resume fallback preface from successful async exec completion messages sent directly back to chat. Fixes #67181. Thanks @raistlin88.</li>
+<li>Agents/media: register detached <code>video_generate</code> and <code>music_generate</code> tool run contexts until terminal status, so Discord-backed provider jobs stay live in <code>/tasks</code> instead of becoming <code>lost</code> when the parent chat run context disappears. Thanks @vincentkoc.</li>
+<li>Agents/media: prefer OpenAI image and video providers when the default model uses the OpenAI Codex auth alias, so auto media generation no longer falls through to Fal before GPT Image or Sora. Thanks @vincentkoc.</li>
+<li>Tasks/media: infer agent ownership for session-scoped task records so <code>/tasks</code> agent-local fallback includes session-backed <code>video_generate</code> and other async media jobs even when the current chat session has no linked rows. Thanks @vincentkoc.</li>
+<li>Agents/media: keep long-running <code>video_generate</code> and <code>music_generate</code> tasks fresh while provider jobs are still pending, so task maintenance does not mark active Discord media renders lost before completion. Thanks @vincentkoc.</li>
+<li>CLI/status: treat scope-limited gateway probes as reachable-but-degraded in shared status scans, so <code>openclaw status --all</code> no longer reports a live gateway as unreachable after <code>missing scope: operator.read</code>. Fixes #49180; supersedes #47981. Thanks @openjay.</li>
+<li>CLI/update: skip tracked plugins disabled in config during post-update plugin sync before npm, ClawHub, or marketplace update checks, preserving their install records without failing the update. Fixes #73880. Thanks @islandpreneur007.</li>
+<li>Slack/Socket Mode: use a 15s Slack SDK pong timeout by default and add <code>channels.slack.socketMode.clientPingTimeout</code>, <code>serverPingTimeout</code>, and <code>pingPongLoggingEnabled</code> overrides so stale-websocket handling no longer depends on app-event health heuristics. Fixes #14248; refs #58519, #64009, and #63488. Thanks @shivasymbl and @freerk.</li>
+<li>Slack/media: bound private file and forwarded attachment downloads with idle and total timeouts while preserving placeholder fallback, so stalled Slack <code>file_share</code> media no longer wedges inbound message handling. Fixes #61850. Thanks @bassboy2k.</li>
+<li>Plugins/inspector: keep bundled plugin runtime capture quiet and config-tolerant for Codex, memory-lancedb, Feishu, Mattermost, QQBot, and Tlon so plugin-inspector JSON checks can validate the full bundled set. Thanks @vincentkoc.</li>
+<li>Slack/auto-reply: keep fully consumed text reset triggers such as <code>new session</code> out of <code>BodyForAgent</code> after directive cleanup, so configured Slack reset phrases do not leak into the fresh model turn. Fixes #73137. Thanks @neeravmakwana.</li>
+<li>Plugins/runtime deps: prune stale retained bundled runtime deps and keep doctor/secret channel contract scans on lightweight artifacts, so disabled bundled channels stop preserving old dependency trees or importing heavy plugin surfaces. Thanks @SymbolStar and @vincentkoc.</li>
+<li>Plugins/runtime deps: cache unchanged bundled runtime mirror dist-file materialization decisions and close file-lock handles on owner-write failures, reducing repeated startup chunk scans and avoiding FileHandle-GC recovery stalls. Refs #73532. Thanks @oadiazp and @bstanbury.</li>
+<li>Auto-reply: bound the post-run pending tool-result delivery drain with a progress-aware idle timeout, so a never-settling tool-result task no longer leaves the session active forever while slow healthy deliveries can keep draining. Fixes #53889; supersedes #64733 and #73434. Thanks @zijunl and @wujiaming88.</li>
+<li>Gateway/startup: start chat channels without waiting for primary model prewarm, keeping model warmup bounded in the background so Slack and other channels come online promptly when provider discovery is slow. Supersedes #73420. Thanks @dorukardahan.</li>
+<li>Gateway/install: carry env-backed config SecretRefs such as <code>channels.discord.token</code> into generated service environments when they are present only in the installing shell, while keeping gateway auth SecretRefs non-persisted. Fixes #67817; supersedes #73426. Thanks @wdimaculangan and @ztexydt-cqh.</li>
+<li>Auto-reply/commands: stop bare <code>/reset</code> and <code>/new</code> after reset hooks acknowledge the command, so non-ACP channels no longer fall through into empty provider calls while <code>/reset <message></code> and <code>/new <message></code> still seed the next model turn. Fixes #73367 and #73412. Thanks @hoyanhan, @wenxu007, and @amdhelper.</li>
+<li>Providers/DeepSeek: backfill DeepSeek V4 <code>reasoning_content</code> on plain assistant replay messages as well as tool-call turns, so thinking sessions with prior tool use no longer fail follow-up requests with missing reasoning content. Fixes #73417; refs #71372. Thanks @34262315716 and @Bartok9.</li>
+<li>Agents/gateway tool: strip full config payloads from <code>config.patch</code> and <code>config.apply</code> tool responses while preserving direct RPC responses, so config-heavy sessions no longer replay large redacted configs into transcript history. Fixes #47610; supersedes #73439. Thanks @HanenVit and @juan-flores077.</li>
+<li>Auto-reply: preserve voice-note media from silent turns while continuing to suppress text and non-voice media, so <code>NO_REPLY</code> TTS replies still deliver the requested audio bubble. (#73406) Thanks @zqchris.</li>
+<li>Channels/Mattermost: stop enqueueing regular inbound posts as system events, so Mattermost user messages reach the model only as user-role inbound-envelope content instead of also appearing as <code>System: Mattermost message...</code> directives. Fixes #71795. Thanks @juan-flores077.</li>
+<li>Agents/media: qualify bare <code>agents.defaults.imageModel</code> and <code>pdfModel</code> refs from unique configured image-capable providers, so Ollama vision models such as <code>moondream</code> and <code>qwen2.5vl:7b</code> do not fall through to the default provider. Fixes #38816; supersedes #73396. Thanks @alainasclaw and @vincentkoc.</li>
+<li>Agents/Anthropic: send implicit Anthropic beta headers only to direct public Anthropic endpoints, including OAuth, so custom Anthropic-compatible providers no longer mis-handle unsupported beta flags unless explicitly configured. Refs #73346. Thanks @byBrodowski.</li>
+<li>Skills: require explicit <code>skills.entries.coding-agent.enabled</code> before exposing the bundled coding-agent skill, so installs with Codex on PATH but no OpenAI auth do not silently offer Codex delegation. Fixes #73358. Thanks @LaFleurAdvertising and @Sanjays2402.</li>
+<li>Plugins/startup: treat manifestless Claude bundles as valid installed-plugin registry entries instead of stale missing manifests, so workspace bundles no longer force repeated derived registry rebuilds or noisy <code>plugins.entries.workspace</code> warnings during Gateway startup. Fixes #73433. Thanks @AnneVoss.</li>
+<li>Agents/subagents: preserve <code>sessions_yield</code> as a paused subagent state and ignore its wait text while freezing completion output, so parent sessions wait for the final post-compaction answer instead of receiving intermediate progress or <code>(no output)</code>. Fixes #73413. Thanks @Ask-sola.</li>
+<li>Plugins/startup: precompute bundled runtime mirror fingerprints before taking the mirror lock and keep Docker bundled plugin runtime deps/mirrors in a Docker-managed volume instead of the Windows/WSL config bind mount, so cold starts avoid slow host-volume mirror writes. Fixes #73339. Thanks @1yihui.</li>
+<li>Plugins/runtime deps: refresh bundled runtime mirrors without deleting active import trees, so config-triggered restarts do not see transient missing plugin files during registration. Thanks @shakkernerd.</li>
+<li>Channels/LINE: persist inbound image, video, audio, and file downloads in <code>~/.openclaw/media/inbound/</code> instead of temporary files so agents can still read LINE media after <code>/tmp</code> cleanup. Fixes #73370. Thanks @hijirii and @wenxu007.</li>
+<li>CLI/plugins: keep bundled plugin installs out of <code>plugins.load.paths</code> while preserving install records, so install/inspect/doctor loops no longer warn about the current bundled plugin directory. Thanks @vincentkoc.</li>
+<li>CLI/plugins: scope <code>plugins inspect <id></code> runtime loading to the matched plugin so single-plugin inspection does not load every plugin before checking the target. Thanks @shakkernerd.</li>
+<li>CLI/plugins: remove managed copied-path plugin directories during uninstall and plan uninstall from metadata instead of runtime-loading plugins, so plugin lifecycle commands avoid unnecessary bundled runtime-deps work. Thanks @shakkernerd.</li>
+<li>Cron tool: infer the creating session's agentId for <code>cron.add</code> jobs when <code>agentId</code> is omitted or passed as undefined, keeping scheduled agentTurn jobs routed to the session agent; #40571 identified the guard bug and supplied the focused regression coverage. Thanks @ChanningYul.</li>
+<li>Cron/Telegram: add <code>--thread-id</code> to <code>openclaw cron add</code> and <code>openclaw cron edit</code>, preserving Telegram forum topic delivery targets across scheduled announcements. Carries forward #51581, #60373, and #60890. Thanks @ChunHao-dev.</li>
+<li>Cron/Telegram: preserve session-derived Telegram topic thread IDs when isolated cron delivery explicitly targets the parent chat, keeping bare chat targets in the active forum topic without leaking stale topics to other chats. Carries forward #64708. Thanks @addelh.</li>
+<li>Memory/compaction: keep pre-compaction memory-flush prompts runtime-only so session transcripts and <code>chat.history</code> no longer expose them as normal user turns. Fixes #54408 and #58956; refs #43567. Thanks @markgong and @guoyuhang9.</li>
+<li>Control UI/WebChat: keep large attachment payloads out of Lit state and optimistic chat messages, using object URL previews plus send-time payload serialization so PDF/image uploads no longer trigger <code>RangeError: Maximum call stack size exceeded</code>. Fixes #73360; refs #54378 and #63432. Thanks @hejunhui-73, @Ansub, and @christianhernandez3-afk.</li>
+<li>Agents/Anthropic: cancel stalled Anthropic Messages SSE body reads when abort signals fire, so active-memory timeouts release transport resources instead of leaving hidden recall runs parked on <code>reader.read()</code>. Refs #72965 and #73120. Thanks @wdeveloper16.</li>
+<li>Control UI/WebChat: keep pending run and typing state attached to the active client run, so unowned inject/announce/side-result finals no longer unlock unrelated active runs while completed owned runs still clear promptly. Fixes #57795; carries forward the narrow diagnosis from #57887. Thanks @haoyu-haoyu.</li>
+<li>Sandbox/Docker: stop satisfying a missing default sandbox image by tagging plain Debian as <code>openclaw-sandbox:bookworm-slim</code>, preserving the Python tooling required by sandbox write/edit helpers and directing users to build the default image. Fixes #51185; refs #45108, #51099, #51609, and #57713. Thanks @dpalis, @Tin55FoilDev, @jbcohen2-coder, @macminihal-cyber, and @PraxoOnline.</li>
+<li>Control UI/WebChat: confirm toolbar New Session button resets before dispatching <code>/new</code> while leaving typed <code>/new</code> and <code>/reset</code> commands immediate. Fixes #45800; refs #27065, #56611, #54499, and #27110. Thanks @aethnova, @kosta228-huli, @adambezemek, and @xss925175263 (xianshishan).</li>
+<li>Agents/models: keep per-agent primary models strict when <code>fallbacks</code> is omitted, so probe-only custom providers are not tried as hidden fallback candidates unless the agent explicitly opts in. Fixes #73332. Thanks @haumanto.</li>
+<li>Gateway/models: add <code>models.pricing.enabled</code> so offline or restricted-network installs can skip startup OpenRouter and LiteLLM pricing-catalog fetches while keeping explicit model costs working. Fixes #53639. Thanks @callebtc, @palewire, and @rjdjohnston.</li>
+<li>Gateway/startup: warn when legacy <code>CLAWDBOT_*</code> or <code>MOLTBOT_*</code> environment variables are still present, pointing users to <code>OPENCLAW_*</code> names instead of failing silently. Fixes #53482; carries forward #53667. Thanks @lndyzwdxhs.</li>
+<li>Onboarding: pin interactive and non-interactive health checks to the just-configured setup token/password so stale <code>OPENCLAW_GATEWAY_TOKEN</code> or <code>OPENCLAW_GATEWAY_PASSWORD</code> values do not produce false gateway-token-mismatch failures after setup. Fixes #72203. Thanks @galiniliev.</li>
+<li>Doctor/state: require an interactive confirmation before archiving orphan transcript files, so <code>openclaw doctor --fix</code> no longer silently renames recoverable session history after upgrades regenerate <code>sessions.json</code>. Fixes #73106. Thanks @scottgl9.</li>
+<li>Cron/Telegram: preserve explicit <code>:topic:</code> delivery targets over stale session-derived thread IDs when isolated cron announces to Telegram forum topics. Carries forward #59069; refs #49704 and #43808. Thanks @roytong9.</li>
+<li>Build/runtime: write the runtime-postbuild stamp after <code>pnpm build</code> writes the build stamp, so the next CLI invocation does not re-sync runtime artifacts after a successful build. Fixes #73151. Thanks @bittoby.</li>
+<li>Build/runtime: preserve staged bundled-plugin runtime dependency caches across source-checkout tsdown rebuilds, so local CLI and gateway-watch rebuilds no longer recreate large plugin dependency trees before starting. Refs #73205. Thanks @SymbolStar.</li>
+<li>CLI/channels: list configured chat channel accounts from read-only setup metadata even when the standalone CLI has not loaded the runtime channel registry, so <code>openclaw channels list</code> shows Telegram accounts before auth providers. Fixes #73319 and #73322. Thanks @mlaihk.</li>
+<li>CLI/model probes: keep <code>infer model run --gateway</code> raw by skipping prior session transcript, bootstrap context, context-engine assembly, tools, and bundled MCP servers, so local backends can be tested without full agent-context overhead. Fixes #73308. Thanks @ScientificProgrammer.</li>
+<li>CLI/image describe: pass <code>--prompt</code> and <code>--timeout-ms</code> through <code>infer image describe</code> and <code>describe-many</code>, so custom vision instructions and slow local model budgets reach media-understanding providers such as Ollama, OpenAI, Google, and OpenRouter. Addresses #63700. Thanks @cedricjanssens.</li>
+<li>Providers/Ollama: reject long non-linguistic Kimi/GLM symbol runs as provider failures instead of storing them as successful visible assistant replies, so fallback or error handling can recover from garbled cloud output. Fixes #64262; refs #67019. Thanks @Kloz813 and @xiaomenger123.</li>
+<li>CLI/model probes: reject empty or whitespace-only <code>infer model run --prompt</code> values before calling local providers or the Gateway, so smoke checks do not spend provider calls on invalid turns. Fixes #73185. Thanks @iot2edge.</li>
+<li>Gateway/media: route text-only <code>chat.send</code> image offloads through media-understanding fields so <code>agents.defaults.imageModel</code> can describe WebChat attachments instead of leaving only an opaque <code>media://inbound</code> marker. Fixes #72968. Thanks @vorajeeah.</li>
+<li>Gateway/Windows: route no-listener restart handoffs through the Windows supervisor without leaving restart tokens in flight, so failed task scheduling can be retried and successful handoffs do not coalesce later restart requests. (#69056) Thanks @Thatgfsj.</li>
+<li>Gateway/model pricing: skip plugin manifest discovery during background pricing refreshes when <code>plugins.enabled: false</code>, so disabled-plugin setups do not keep rebuilding plugin metadata from the Gateway hot path. Fixes #73291. Thanks @slideshow-dingo and @fishgills.</li>
+<li>Ollama/thinking: validate <code>/think</code> commands against live Ollama catalog reasoning metadata and preserve explicit native <code>params.think</code>/<code>params.thinking</code>, so models whose <code>/api/show</code> capabilities include <code>thinking</code> expose <code>low</code>, <code>medium</code>, <code>high</code>, and <code>max</code> instead of being stuck on <code>off</code>. Fixes #73366. Thanks @cymise.</li>
+<li>Gateway/sessions: remove automatic oversized <code>sessions.json</code> rotation backups, deprecate <code>session.maintenance.rotateBytes</code>, and teach <code>openclaw doctor --fix</code> to remove the ignored key so hot session writes no longer copy multi-MB stores. Refs #72338. Thanks @midhunmonachan and @DougButdorf.</li>
+<li>Channels/Telegram: fail fast when Telegram rejects the startup <code>getMe</code> token probe with 401, so invalid or stale BotFather tokens are reported as token auth failures instead of misleading <code>deleteWebhook</code> cleanup failures. Fixes #47674. Thanks @samaedan-arch.</li>
+<li>ACPX: keep generated Codex and Claude ACP wrapper startup paths working when remote or special state filesystems reject chmod, since OpenClaw invokes the wrappers through Node instead of executing them directly. Fixes #73333. Thanks @david-garcia-garcia.</li>
+<li>CLI/onboarding: infer image input for common custom-provider vision model IDs, ask only for unknown models, and keep <code>--custom-image-input</code>/<code>--custom-text-input</code> overrides so vision-capable proxies do not get saved as text-only configs. Fixes #51869. Thanks @Antsoldier1974.</li>
+<li>Models/OpenAI Codex: stop listing or resolving unsupported <code>openai-codex/gpt-5.4-mini</code> rows through Codex OAuth, keep stale discovery rows suppressed with a clear API-key-route hint, and leave direct <code>openai/gpt-5.4-mini</code> available. Fixes #73242. Thanks @0xCyda.</li>
+<li>Plugin SDK: restore the root <code>stringEnum</code> and <code>optionalStringEnum</code> exports on both the published SDK entry and runtime root-alias bridge, so older external plugins can keep building and loading while migrating to focused SDK subpaths. Fixes #68279. Thanks @marzliak.</li>
+<li>Plugin SDK: restore the root-alias bridge for <code>registerContextEngine</code> and expose missing legacy compat helpers <code>normalizeAccountId</code> and <code>resolvePreferredOpenClawTmpDir</code> so older external plugins such as <code>openclaw-weixin</code> can keep loading while migrating to focused SDK subpaths. Fixes #53497. Thanks @alanxchen85.</li>
+<li>Auth profiles: make <code>openclaw doctor --fix</code> migrate legacy flat <code>auth-profiles.json</code> files such as <code>{ "ollama-windows": { "apiKey": "ollama-local" } }</code> to canonical provider default API-key profiles with a backup, so custom Ollama/OpenAI-compatible providers recover cleanly after upgrading. Fixes #59629; supersedes #59642. Thanks @Xsanders555 and @Linux2010.</li>
+<li>Memory/Dreaming: retry Dream Diary once with the session default when a configured dreaming model is unavailable, while leaving subagent trust and allowlist errors visible instead of silently masking configuration problems. Refs #67409 and #69209. Thanks @Ghiggins18 and @everySympathy.</li>
+<li>Feishu/inbound files: recover CJK filenames from plain <code>Content-Disposition: filename=</code> download headers when Feishu exposes UTF-8 bytes through Latin-1 header decoding, while leaving valid Latin-1 and JSON-derived names unchanged. (#48578, #50435, #59431) Thanks @alex-xuweilong, @lishuaigit, and @DoChaoing.</li>
+<li>Channels/Telegram: normalize accidental full <code>/bot<TOKEN></code> Telegram <code>apiRoot</code> values at runtime and teach <code>openclaw doctor --fix</code> to remove the suffix, so startup control calls no longer 404 when direct Bot API curl commands work. Fixes #55387. Thanks @brendanmatthewjones-cmyk, @techfindubai-ux, and @Sivlerback-Chris.</li>
+<li>Zalo Personal: persist refreshed <code>zca-js</code> session cookies after QR login, session restore, and successful API calls so gateway restarts restore the freshest local session. (#73277) Thanks @darkamenosa.</li>
+<li>Logging/security: redact sensitive tokens (sk-\* keys, Bearer/Authorization values, etc.) at the subsystem console sink so <code>createSubsystemLogger().info/warn/error</code> output that bypasses the patched console-capture handler still applies the same redaction the file transport already does. Fixes #73284; refs #67953 and #64046. Thanks @edwin-rivera-dev.</li>
+<li>Plugins/runtime deps: reuse enclosing versioned cache roots when bundled plugins resolve from nested staged paths, so plugin-runtime-deps no longer mints <code>openclaw-unknown-*</code> directories or loops on <code>ENOTEMPTY</code>. Fixes #72956. (#73205) Thanks @SymbolStar.</li>
+<li>Agents/failover: classify CJK provider transport, quota, billing, auth, and overload error text so Chinese-language provider failures trigger fallback and user-facing transport copy instead of surfacing as unclassified raw errors. (#56242) Thanks @tomcatzh.</li>
+<li>Agents/failover: seed non-claude-cli fallback prompts with Claude Code session context when a claude-cli attempt fails, so fallback models do not restart cold after billing or quota failover. (#72069) Thanks @stainlu.</li>
+<li>Agents/CLI runner: transfer bundle-MCP tempDir cleanup from the per-turn runner finally to the Claude live-session lifecycle, so persistent Claude CLI sessions keep their <code>--mcp-config</code> directory until the live subprocess closes. Fixes #73244. Thanks @edwin-rivera-dev.</li>
+<li>Gateway/nodes: allow Windows companion nodes to use safe declared commands such as canvas, camera list, location, device info, and screen snapshot by default while keeping dangerous media commands opt-in. (#71884) Thanks @shanselman.</li>
+<li>Agents/cron: clarify agent-tool and CLI cron timezone guidance so supplied <code>tz</code> values use local wall-clock cron fields and omitted cron <code>tz</code> falls back to the Gateway host local timezone. Fixes #53669; carries forward #46177. (#73372) Thanks @chen-zhang-cs-code and @maranello-o.</li>
+<li>Providers/Qwen: allow explicitly configured <code>qwen/qwen3.6-plus</code> to resolve on Qwen Coding Plan endpoints while keeping the built-in catalog from advertising it there. Fixes #63654; carries forward #63987. Thanks @jepson-liu.</li>
+<li>Channels/Telegram: keep Bot API network fallbacks sticky after failed attempts and retry timed-out startup control calls once on the fallback route, so <code>deleteWebhook</code> IPv6 stalls no longer trigger slow multi-account retry storms. Fixes #73255. Thanks @ttomiczek and @sktbrd.</li>
+<li>Gateway/agents: accept heartbeat, cron, and webhook as internal channel hints for agent runs so <code>sessions_spawn</code> works from non-delivery parent sessions while unknown channel hints still fail closed. Fixes #73237. Thanks @KeWang0622.</li>
+<li>Gateway/models: merge explicit <code>models.providers.*.models</code> rows into the Gateway model catalog with normalized provider/model dedupe, and use normalized image-capability lookup so custom vision models keep native image attachments even when Pi discovery omits them or model ID casing differs. Fixes #64213 and #65165. Thanks @billonese and @202233a.</li>
+<li>Gateway/reload: publish canonical post-write source config to in-process reloaders so simple config saves no longer create phantom plugin diffs or trigger unnecessary Gateway restarts. (#73267) Thanks @szsip239.</li>
+<li>Gateway/Docker: keep config-triggered restarts in-process inside containers instead of spawning a detached child and exiting PID 1 cleanly, so Docker Swarm and other on-failure supervisors do not leave the service stuck at 0/1 replicas. Fixes #73178. Thanks @du-nguyen-IT007.</li>
+<li>CLI/tasks: ship the task-registry control runtime in npm packages so <code>openclaw tasks cancel</code> can load ACP/subagent cancellation helpers from published builds. Fixes #68997. Thanks @1OAKDesign.</li>
+<li>Channels/Telegram: preserve unsent generated media after partial reply streaming has already delivered the text, so <code>image_generate</code> outputs still reach Telegram as photos instead of being dropped from the final payload. Fixes #73253. Thanks @mlaihk.</li>
+<li>Memory-core/dreaming: cap detached Dream Diary narrative subagents across cron sweeps so multi-workspace dreaming no longer fans out unbounded subagent sessions, lock contention, and cascading narrative timeouts. Fixes #73198. (#73287) Thanks @KeWang0622.</li>
+<li>CLI/agents: close local one-shot Claude live stdio sessions and bundled MCP loopback resources after embedded <code>openclaw agent --local</code> runs, while keeping gateway-owned MCP loopback cleanup internal to the Gateway. Thanks @frankekn.</li>
+<li>Export/session: keep inline export HTML scripts and vendor libraries injected after template formatting so generated session exports open with the app code, markdown renderer, and syntax highlighter present. Fixes #41862 and #49957; carries forward #41861 and #68947. Thanks @briannewman, @martenzi, and @armanddp.</li>
+<li>Agents/ACPX: stage the patched Claude ACP adapter as an ACPX runtime dependency and route known Codex/Claude ACP commands through local wrappers, so Gateway runtime no longer depends on live <code>npx</code> adapter resolution. Fixes #73202. Thanks @joerod26.</li>
+<li>Memory/compaction: let pre-compaction memory flush use an exact <code>agents.defaults.compaction.memoryFlush.model</code> override such as <code>ollama/qwen3:8b</code> without inheriting the active session fallback chain, so local housekeeping can avoid paid conversation models. Fixes #53772. Thanks @limen96.</li>
+<li>macOS/update: stop managed Gateway services before package replacement and keep LaunchAgent service secrets out of world-readable plist metadata by loading them from owner-only env files. Fixes #72996. Thanks @Mathewb7.</li>
+<li>Google Meet: keep observe-only Chrome joins and setup checks from requiring BlackHole or audio bridge commands, avoid granting or selecting the microphone in observe-only mode, and make <code>test_speech</code> report fresh realtime output-byte verification instead of only confirming a queued utterance. Refs #72478. Thanks @DougButdorf.</li>
+<li>Gateway/hooks: route non-delivered hook completion and error summaries to the target agent's main session instead of the default agent session, preserving multi-agent hook isolation. Fixes #24693; carries forward #68667. Thanks @abersonFAC and @bluesky6868.</li>
+<li>Control UI/models: request the configured Gateway model-list view so dashboards with only <code>models.providers.*.models</code> show those configured models first instead of flooding the picker with the full built-in catalog. Fixes #65405. Thanks @wbyanclaw.</li>
+<li>CLI/models: keep default-model and allowlist pickers on explicit <code>models.providers.*.models</code> entries when <code>models.mode</code> is <code>replace</code> instead of loading the full built-in catalog. Fixes #64950. Thanks @mrozentsvayg.</li>
+<li>Media/security: tighten media-understanding MIME sanitization so parameterized MIME values stay end-anchored and malformed whitespace or suffix payloads are rejected before file-context handling. Fixes #9795; carries forward #68225 with related review/test context from #61016/#68456. Thanks @ymaxgit, @bluesky6868, and @shamsulalam1114.</li>
+<li>Discord: own the Carbon interaction listener and hand off Discord slash/component handling asynchronously, so compaction or long session locks no longer trip <code>InteractionEventListener</code> listener timeouts. Fixes #73204. Thanks @slideshow-dingo.</li>
+<li>Compaction/diagnostics: keep unknown compaction failure classifications stable while logging sanitized detail for unclassified provider errors such as missing Ollama provider adapters. Thanks @gzsiang.</li>
+<li>Models/fallbacks: record first-class <code>model.fallback_step</code> trajectory events with from/to models, failure detail, chain position, and final outcome so support exports preserve the primary model failure even when a later fallback also fails. Fixes #71744. Thanks @nikolaykazakovvs-ux.</li>
+<li>Gateway/agents: block agent <code>exec</code> from launching interactive <code>openclaw channels login</code> flows and abort active agent runs after invalid-config recovery restores last-known-good config, preventing known channel-login and reload paths from wedging replies. Refs #72338. Thanks @midhunmonachan.</li>
+<li>Gateway/diagnostics: emit payload-free liveness warnings with event-loop delay, event-loop utilization, CPU-core ratio, active-session counts, and OTEL warning metrics/spans so live-but-stalled Gateways capture CPU-spin context in stability bundles and telemetry. Refs #72338. Thanks @midhunmonachan and @DougButdorf.</li>
+<li>Gateway/startup: keep value-option foreground starts on the gateway fast path and skip proxy bootstrap unless proxy env is configured, reducing normal gateway startup RSS and avoiding full CLI graph loading. Thanks @vincentkoc.</li>
+<li>Heartbeat/models: show heartbeat model bleed guidance on context-overflow resets when the last runtime model matches configured <code>heartbeat.model</code>, so smaller local heartbeat models point users to <code>isolatedSession</code> or <code>lightContext</code> instead of only compaction-buffer tuning. Fixes #67314. Thanks @Knightmare6890.</li>
+<li>Subagents/models: persist <code>sessions_spawn.model</code> and configured subagent models as child-session model overrides before the first turn, so spawned subagents actually run on the requested provider/model instead of reverting to the target agent default. Fixes #73180. Thanks @danielzinhu99.</li>
+<li>Channels/Telegram: keep webhook-mode local listeners alive and retry Telegram <code>setWebhook</code> registration after recoverable startup network failures, so transient Bot API timeouts no longer leave reverse proxies pointing at a closed listener. Fixes #71834. Thanks @jinon86.</li>
+<li>Agents/ACPX: bundle the Codex ACP adapter and launch it from the isolated <code>CODEX_HOME</code> wrapper before falling back to npm, so Codex ACP startup no longer depends on live <code>npx</code> resolution or the stale <code>@zed-industries/codex-acp@^0.11.1</code> range. Fixes #72037; refs #73202. Thanks @jasonftl, @sazora, and @joerod26.</li>
+<li>Agents/ACPX: register the embedded ACP backend at Gateway startup through a lightweight ACP backend SDK path and without importing the heavy ACPX runtime until an ACP session or explicit startup probe needs it, reducing baseline Gateway RSS. Thanks @vincentkoc.</li>
+<li>CLI/update: keep restart health polling when the restarted Gateway is reachable but has not reported its version yet, so macOS service restarts do not fail early with <code>actual unavailable</code>. Thanks @ProspectOre.</li>
+<li>Backup: skip installed plugin <code>extensions/*/node_modules</code> dependency trees while keeping plugin manifests and source files in archives, so local backups avoid rebuildable npm payload bloat. Fixes #64144. Thanks @BrilliantWang.</li>
+<li>Cron/models: fail isolated cron runs closed when an explicit <code>payload.model</code> is not allowed or cannot be resolved, so scheduled jobs do not silently fall back to an unrelated agent default or paid route before configured provider proxies such as LiteLLM can run. Fixes #73146. Thanks @oneandrewwang.</li>
+<li>Memory/QMD: back off repeated chat-turn QMD open failures while still letting memory status and CLI probes recheck immediately, so a broken sidecar dependency cannot trigger active-memory or cron retry storms. Fixes #73188 and #73176. Thanks @leonlushgit and @w3i-William.</li>
+<li>Talk Mode: resolve <code>messages.tts.providers.<id>.apiKey</code> through the active runtime snapshot for <code>talk.config</code>, so Talk overlays can discover SecretRef-backed speech providers without falling back to local speech. Fixes #73109. (#73111) Thanks @omarshahine.</li>
+<li>Memory/Ollama: resolve <code>memorySearch.provider</code> custom provider ids through their configured <code>models.providers.<id>.api</code> owner, so multi-GPU Ollama setups can dedicate embeddings to providers such as <code>ollama-5080</code> without losing the Ollama adapter or local auth semantics. Fixes #73150. Thanks @oneandrewwang.</li>
+<li>CLI/memory: skip eager context-window warmup for <code>openclaw memory</code> commands so memory search does not race unrelated model metadata discovery. Fixes #73123. Thanks @oalansilva and @neeravmakwana.</li>
+<li>CLI/Telegram: route Telegram <code>message send</code> and poll actions through the running Gateway when available, so packaged installs use the staged <code>grammy</code> runtime deps and CLI sends return instead of hanging after the Telegram channel is active. Fixes #73140. Thanks @oalansilva.</li>
+<li>Plugins/runtime deps: prepare staged bundled plugin dependencies before loading packaged public surfaces, so OpenClaw's Telegram runtime/test facade loads resolve <code>grammy</code> from the managed runtime-deps stage without copying dependencies into the global package root. Refs #73140. Thanks @oalansilva.</li>
+<li>Agents/exec: emit <code>(no output)</code> for silent exec update and node-host result blocks so Anthropic-compatible providers no longer reject empty tool-result text after quiet commands. Fixes #73117. Thanks @pfrederiksen and @Sanjays2402.</li>
+<li>Cron/providers: preflight local Ollama and OpenAI-compatible provider endpoints before isolated cron agent turns, record unreachable local providers as skipped runs, and cache dead-endpoint probes so many jobs do not hammer the same stopped local server. Fixes #58584. Thanks @jpeghead.</li>
+<li>Gateway/config: let config reload continue in degraded mode when invalidity is scoped to plugin entries, so incompatible plugin configs can be skipped and the Gateway restart can still pick up the rest of the config after rollbacks. Fixes #73131. Thanks @Adam-Researchh.</li>
+<li>Doctor/channels: suppress disabled bundled-plugin blocker warnings when a trusted external plugin owns the configured channel, so Lark/Feishu installs no longer get Feishu repair noise after switching to <code>openclaw-lark</code>. Fixes #56794. Thanks @wuji-tech-dev.</li>
+<li>CLI/status: show skipped fast-path memory checks as <code>not checked</code> and report active custom memory plugin runtime status from <code>status --json --all</code> without requiring built-in <code>agents.defaults.memorySearch</code>, so plugins such as memory-lancedb-pro and memory-cms no longer look unavailable when their own runtime is healthy. Fixes #56968. Thanks @Tony-ooo and @aderius.</li>
+<li>Gateway/channels: record and log unexpected clean channel monitor exits so channels that return without throwing no longer appear stopped with no error. Fixes #73099. Thanks @balaji1968-kingler.</li>
+<li>Discord/group chats: keep group/channel replies private by default unless the agent explicitly uses the message tool, so always-on rooms can lurk without leaking automatic final, block, preview, or status-reaction output; <code>messages.groupChat.visibleReplies: "automatic"</code> restores legacy auto-posting. (#73046) Thanks @scoootscooob.</li>
+<li>Plugins/package: force nested bundled-plugin runtime dependency installs out of inherited npm dry-run mode during prepack and package smoke checks, so packed installs materialize required plugin modules instead of reporting missing bundled files. Refs #73128. Thanks @Adam-Researchh.</li>
+<li>Discord: skip reaction events before REST channel fetch when notifications are off, guild reactions are disabled, or allowlist mode cannot match without channel overrides, reducing reconnect bursts that caused slow listener warnings. Fixes #73133. Thanks @isaacsummers.</li>
+<li>Channels/Telegram: centralize polling update tracking so accepted offsets remain durable across restarts, same-process handler failures can still retry, and slow offset writes cannot overwrite newer accepted watermarks. Refs #73115. Thanks @vdruts.</li>
+<li>Agents/models: classify empty, reasoning-only, and planning-only terminal agent runs before accepting a model fallback candidate, so invalid or incompatible models can advance to the next configured fallback instead of returning a 30-second terminal failure. Fixes #73115. Thanks @vdruts.</li>
+<li>Memory/LanceDB: let embedding config use provider-backed auth profiles, environment credentials, or provider config without a separate plugin <code>embedding.apiKey</code>, so OAuth-capable embedding providers can power auto-recall/capture. Fixes #68950. Thanks @malshaalan-ai.</li>
+<li>CLI/parents: invoking <code>openclaw <parent></code> (memory, channels, plugins, approvals, devices, cron, mcp) without a subcommand now prints the parent's help and exits <code>0</code>, matching <code><parent> --help</code> and the existing <code>agents</code> / <code>sessions</code> defaults so shell <code>&&</code> chains and pnpm wrappers no longer surface a misleading <code>ELIFECYCLE Command failed with exit code 1.</code> line. Fixes #73077. Thanks @hclsys.</li>
+<li>Plugins/hooks: time out never-settling <code>agent_end</code> observation hooks after 30 seconds and log the plugin failure, so hung embedding endpoints no longer leave memory capture silently pending forever. Fixes #65544. Thanks @ghoc0099.</li>
+<li>Gateway/config: serve runtime config schemas from the current plugin metadata snapshot and generated bundled channel schema metadata instead of rebuilding plugin channel config modules on every <code>config.get</code>/<code>config.schema</code>, preventing idle plugin-discovery CPU churn after upgrades. Fixes #73088. Thanks @sleitor and @geovansb.</li>
+<li>Memory/LanceDB: call OpenAI-compatible embedding endpoints through the raw SDK transport without sending <code>encoding_format</code>, then normalize float-array or base64 responses so providers such as ZhiPu and DashScope no longer fail recall with wrong vector dimensions or rejected parameters. Fixes #63655. Thanks @kinthaiofficial.</li>
+<li>Plugins/install: run dependency installs with npm error-level logging instead of silent mode so failed plugin or hook installs surface actionable npm errors such as EUNSUPPORTEDPROTOCOL instead of <code>npm install failed:</code> with no detail. (#73093) Thanks @sanctrl.</li>
+<li>Memory/LanceDB: bound memory recall embedding queries with a new <code>recallMaxChars</code> setting, prefer the latest user message over channel prompt metadata during auto-recall, and document the knob so small Ollama embedding models avoid context-length failures. Fixes #56780. Thanks @rungmc357 and @zak-collaborator.</li>
+<li>CLI/skills: resolve workspace-backed skills commands from <code>--agent</code>, then the current agent workspace, before falling back to the default agent, so multi-agent ClawHub installs, updates, and status checks stay scoped to the active workspace. Fixes #56161; carries forward #72726. Thanks @langbowang and @luyao618.</li>
+<li>Plugin SDK: fall back from partial bundled plugin directory overrides to package source public surfaces while preserving <code>OPENCLAW_DISABLE_BUNDLED_PLUGINS</code> as a hard disable. (#72817) Thanks @serkonyc.</li>
+<li>Agents/ACPX: stop forwarding Codex ACP timeout config controls that Codex rejects while preserving OpenClaw's run-timeout watchdog for ACP subagents. Fixes #73052. Thanks @pfrederiksen and @richa65.</li>
+<li>Memory Core: stream fallback vector search scoring with a bounded top-K result set so large indexes do not materialize every chunk embedding when sqlite-vec is unavailable. (#73069) Thanks @parkertoddbrooks.</li>
+<li>Memory Core: stream embedding-cache seeding during safe reindex so large local caches do not materialize every row into the V8 heap before the atomic rebuild. (#73067) Thanks @parkertoddbrooks.</li>
+<li>Memory/Ollama: add <code>memorySearch.remote.nonBatchConcurrency</code> for inline embedding indexing, default Ollama non-batch indexing to one request at a time, and keep batch concurrency separate from non-batch concurrency so local embedding backfills avoid timeout storms on smaller hosts. Carries forward #57733. Thanks @itilys.</li>
+<li>macOS app: update Peekaboo, ElevenLabsKit, and MLX TTS helper dependencies, make canvas file watching and config/exec-approval state writes reliable under concurrent app/test activity, and keep the app plus helper builds warning-free. Thanks @Blaizzy.</li>
+<li>iOS app: refresh SwiftPM/XcodeGen source hygiene, make app, extension, watch, and curated shared Swift files pass the prebuild SwiftFormat and SwiftLint checks, move relay registration off deprecated StoreKit receipt APIs, and keep simulator builds and logic tests warning-free. Thanks @ngutman.</li>
+<li>Agents/models: keep <code>models.json</code> readiness and provider-hook caches warm across repeated agent and subagent model resolution while preserving external <code>models.json</code> invalidation, reducing repeated provider-plugin loads on slower ARM64 hosts. Fixes #73075. Thanks @jochen.</li>
+<li>Docs/tools: clarify that <code>tools.profile: "messaging"</code> is intentionally narrow and that <code>tools.profile: "full"</code> is the unrestricted baseline for broader command/control access. Carries forward #39954. Thanks @posigit.</li>
+<li>Control UI/Agents: redact tool-call args, partial/final results, derived exec output, and configured custom secret patterns before streaming tool events to the Control UI, so tool output cannot expose provider or channel credentials. Fixes #72283. (#72319) Thanks @volcano303 and @BunsDev.</li>
+<li>Agents/sessions: keep <code>sessions_history</code> recall redaction enabled even when general log redaction is disabled, and clarify that safety-boundary UI/tool/diagnostic payloads still redact independently of <code>logging.redactSensitive</code>. Carries forward #72319. Thanks @volcano303 and @BunsDev.</li>
+<li>Providers/Codex: pass agent and workspace directories into provider stream wrappers so Codex native <code>web_search</code> activation can evaluate the correct auth context, and smoke-test the built status-message runtime by resolving the emitted bundle name. Carries forward #67843; refs #65909. Thanks @neilofneils404.</li>
+<li>Cron/models: keep <code>payload.model</code> as a per-job primary that can use configured fallbacks, while still letting <code>payload.fallbacks: []</code> make cron runs strict and avoid hidden agent-primary retries. Refs #73023. Thanks @pavelyortho-cyber.</li>
+<li>Models/fallbacks: treat user-selected session models as exact choices, so <code>/model ollama/...</code> and model-picker switches fail visibly when the selected provider is unreachable instead of answering from an unrelated configured fallback. Fixes #73023. Thanks @pavelyortho-cyber.</li>
+<li>Codex harness: keep ChatGPT subscription app-server runs from inheriting <code>CODEX_API_KEY</code> or <code>OPENAI_API_KEY</code>, and fall back to <code>CODEX_API_KEY</code> / <code>OPENAI_API_KEY</code> app-server login only when no Codex account is available. Fixes #73057. Thanks @holgergruenhagen and @pashpashpash.</li>
+<li>CLI/model probes: fail local <code>infer model run</code> probes when the provider returns no text output, so unreachable local providers and empty completions no longer look like successful smoke tests. Refs #73023. Thanks @pavelyortho-cyber.</li>
+<li>CLI/Ollama: run local <code>infer model run</code> through the lean provider completion path and skip global model discovery for one-shot local probes, so Ollama smoke tests no longer pay full chat-agent/tool startup cost or hang before the native <code>/api/chat</code> request. Fixes #72851. Thanks @TotalRes2020.</li>
+<li>Doctor/gateway services: ignore launchd/systemd companion services that only reference the gateway as a dependency, suppress inactive Linux extra-service warnings, and avoid rewriting a running systemd gateway command/entrypoint during doctor repair. Carries forward #39118. Thanks @therk.</li>
+<li>Daemon/service: only emit hard-coded version-manager paths such as <code>~/.volta/bin</code>, <code>~/.asdf/shims</code>, <code>~/.bun/bin</code>, and fnm/pnpm fallbacks into gateway and node service PATHs when the directories exist, so <code>openclaw doctor</code> no longer flags <code>gateway.path.non-minimal</code> against a PATH the daemon just wrote. Env-driven roots and stable user-bin dirs remain unconditional. Fixes #71944; carries forward #71964. Thanks @Sanjays2402.</li>
+<li>CLI/startup: disable Node's module compile cache automatically for live source-checkout launchers so in-place <code>pnpm build</code> updates are visible to the next <code>openclaw</code> CLI invocation. Fixes #73037. Thanks @LouisGameDev.</li>
+<li>Agents/group chat: keep silent-allowed empty and reasoning-only turns on the <code>NO_REPLY</code> path without injecting visible-answer retry prompts, and clarify the group prompt so agents use the exact silent token instead of prose. Thanks @vincentkoc.</li>
+<li>Agents/group chat: move <code>NO_REPLY</code> mechanics into channel-aware direct/group prompts and suppress the duplicate generic silent-reply section for auto-reply runs, so always-on group agents get one consistent stay-silent instruction. Thanks @vincentkoc.</li>
+<li>Providers/OpenAI: preserve encrypted empty-summary Responses reasoning items in WebSocket replay and request <code>reasoning.encrypted_content</code> on reasoning turns so GPT-5.4/GPT-5.5 sessions do not lose required <code>rs_*</code> state beside <code>msg_*</code> items. Fixes #73053. Thanks @odb36777.</li>
+<li>Gateway/startup: treat <code>plugins.enabled=false</code> as an early plugin fast path, skipping plugin auto-enable discovery, gateway plugin lookup/runtime-dependency staging, and stale-plugin cleanup warnings while preserving channel blocker warnings. (#73041) Thanks @WuKongAI-CMU.</li>
+<li>Channels/commands: make generated <code>/dock-*</code> commands switch the active session reply route through <code>session.identityLinks</code> instead of falling through to normal chat. Fixes #69206; carries forward #73033. Thanks @clawbones and @michaelatamuk.</li>
+<li>Providers/Cloudflare AI Gateway: strip assistant prefill turns from Anthropic Messages payloads when thinking is enabled, so Claude requests through Cloudflare AI Gateway no longer fail Anthropic conversation-ending validation. Fixes #72905; carries forward #73005. Thanks @AaronFaby and @sahilsatralkar.</li>
+<li>Gateway/startup: keep primary-model startup prewarm on scoped metadata preparation, let native approval bootstraps retry outside channel startup, and skip the global hook runner when no <code>gateway_start</code> hook is registered, so clean post-ready sidecar work stays off the critical path. Refs #72846. Thanks @RayWoo, @livekm0309, and @mrz1836.</li>
+<li>Gateway/channels: start bundled channel accounts with a lightweight <code>runtimeContexts</code> surface instead of importing the full reply/routing/session channel runtime before <code>startAccount</code>, so Discord, Telegram, Slack, Matrix, and QQBot startup no longer block on unrelated channel helper graphs. Refs #72846 and #72960. Thanks @mrz1836, @RayWoo, and @rollingshmily.</li>
+<li>Gateway/supervisor: exit cleanly when a supervised restart finds an existing healthy gateway and bound retries when the existing gateway stays unhealthy, so stale lock contention cannot loop indefinitely. Refs #72846. Thanks @azgardtek.</li>
+<li>Gateway/startup: scope primary-model provider discovery during channel prewarm to the configured provider owner and add split startup trace timings, so boot avoids staging unrelated bundled provider dependencies while setup discovery remains broad. Fixes #73002. Thanks @Schnup03.</li>
+<li>Plugins/runtime deps: declare retained staged bundled plugin dependencies in the npm staging manifest while installing only newly missing packages, so Gateway restarts avoid reinstalling the full retained dependency set when one runtime dependency is absent. Fixes #73055. Thanks @GCorp2026.</li>
+<li>CLI/status: keep default <code>openclaw status</code> off the heavyweight security audit, plugin compatibility, and memory-vector probes while still showing configured Telegram channels through setup metadata, so routine health checks stay fast and no longer render an empty Channels table. Fixes #72993. Thanks @comick1.</li>
+<li>Channels/Telegram: send a best-effort native typing cue immediately after an inbound message is accepted, so slow pre-dispatch turns show Telegram liveness before queueing, compaction, model, or tool work starts. Fixes #63759. Thanks @alessandropcostabr.</li>
+<li>Channels/Telegram: stop native approval startup auth failures from retrying every second, while still waiting through retryable Gateway auth handoffs, so Telegram approval setup problems no longer create a reconnect/log loop during channel startup. Refs #72846 and #72867. Thanks @kiranvk-2011 and @porly1985.</li>
+<li>Channels/Microsoft Teams: unwrap staged CommonJS JWT runtime dependencies before Bot Connector token validation so inbound Teams messages no longer 401 after the bundled runtime-deps move. Fixes #73026. Thanks @kbrown10000.</li>
+<li>Gateway/auth: allow local direct callers in trusted-proxy mode to use the configured gateway password as an internal fallback while keeping token fallback rejected. Fixes #17761. Thanks @dashed, @vincentkoc, and @jetd1.</li>
+<li>Gateway/auth: add explicit <code>trustedProxy.allowLoopback</code> support for same-host loopback reverse proxies while keeping loopback trusted-proxy auth fail-closed by default and preserving required-header and allowlist checks. Fixes #59167; carries forward #63379. Thanks @Matir, @jeremyakers, and @mrosmarin.</li>
+<li>Channels/sessions: prevent guarded inbound session recording from creating route-only phantom sessions while still allowing last-route updates for sessions that already exist. Carries forward #73009. Thanks @jzakirov.</li>
+<li>Cron: accept <code>delivery.threadId</code> in Gateway cron add/update schemas so scheduled announce delivery can target Telegram forum topics and other threaded channel destinations through the documented delivery path. Fixes #73017. Thanks @coachsootz.</li>
+<li>Plugins/runtime deps: stage bundled plugin dependencies imported by mirrored root dist chunks, so packaged memory and status commands do not miss <code>chokidar</code> or similar root-chunk dependencies after update. Fixes #72882 and #72970; carries forward #72992. Thanks @shrimpy8, @colin-chang, and @Schnup03.</li>
+<li>Plugins/runtime deps: reuse unchanged bundled plugin runtime mirrors instead of rebuilding plugin trees on every load, cutting avoidable writes and restart/reconnect I/O on slow storage. Fixes #72933. Thanks @jasonftl.</li>
+<li>Agents/runtime context: deliver hidden runtime context through prompt-local system context while keeping the transcript-only custom entry out of provider user turns, and strip stale copied runtime-context prefaces from user-facing replies. Fixes #72386; carries forward #72969. Thanks @jhsmith409.</li>
+<li>Channels/Telegram: skip the optional webhook-info API call during polling-mode status checks and startup bot-label probes so long-polling setups avoid an unnecessary Telegram round trip. Carries forward #72990. Thanks @danielgruneberg.</li>
+<li>CLI/message: resolve targeted <code>openclaw message</code> channels to their owning plugin before loading the registry, and fall back to configured channel plugins when the channel must be inferred, so scripted sends avoid full bundled plugin registry scans without assuming channel ids match plugin ids. Fixes #73006. Thanks @jasonftl.</li>
+<li>Plugins/startup: parse strict JSON plugin manifests with native JSON first and keep JSON5 as the compatibility fallback, reducing manifest registry CPU during Gateway boot and CLI startup. Fixes #73011. Thanks @jasonftl.</li>
+<li>CLI/models: keep route-first <code>models status --json</code> stdout reserved for the JSON payload by routing auth-profile and startup diagnostics to stderr. Fixes #72962. Thanks @vishutdhar.</li>
+<li>Gateway/runtime: keep dirty-tree status calls from rebuilding live <code>dist</code>, clear stale task and restart state across in-process restarts, retry transient Discord lazy imports, and let channel startup continue after slow model warmup so browser, Discord, and voice-call sidecars come online. Thanks @vincentkoc.</li>
+<li>Security/CodeQL: replace file SecretRef id gateway schema regex validation with segment-aligned predicates and set empty permissions on release summary/backfill jobs so the narrowed CodeQL profile stays clean. Thanks @vincentkoc.</li>
+<li>Sessions: ignore future-dated session activity timestamps during reset freshness checks and cap future <code>updatedAt</code> values at the merge boundary so clock-skewed messages cannot keep stale sessions alive forever. Fixes #72989. Thanks @martingarramon.</li>
+<li>Sessions: apply search, activity filters, and limits before gateway row enrichment so bounded session lists avoid scanning discarded transcripts. Carries forward #72978. Thanks @yeager.</li>
+<li>Sessions: remove trajectory runtime and pointer sidecars when session maintenance prunes, caps, or disk-evicts their owning session, while preserving sidecars still referenced by live rows. Fixes #73000. Thanks @jared-rebel.</li>
+<li>Plugins/CLI: allow managed plugin installs when the active extensions root is a symlink to a real state directory, while keeping nested target symlinks blocked and suppressing misleading hook-pack fallback errors for install-boundary failures. Fixes #72946. Thanks @mayank6136.</li>
+<li>Providers/Ollama: mark discovered Ollama catalog models as supporting streaming usage metadata so token accounting stays enabled for local models. (#72976) Thanks @sdeyang.</li>
+<li>Media understanding: reject malformed MIME values with trailing junk while preserving standard parameter tails before enrichment uses them. (#72914) Thanks @volcano303.</li>
+<li>WebChat: keep bare <code>/new</code> and <code>/reset</code> prompts from producing empty transcript text by inserting the hidden session marker when the visible tail is blank. (#72863) Thanks @mahopan.</li>
+<li>CLI/update: explain completion-cache refresh timeouts with manual refresh guidance instead of surfacing a raw low-level timeout. Fixes #72842. (#72850) Thanks @iot2edge.</li>
+<li>Memory-core/dreaming: give narrative generation a 60-second timeout so slower local or remote models can finish instead of timing out at 15 seconds. Fixes #72837. (#72852) Thanks @RayWoo.</li>
+<li>Plugins/hooks: inject each plugin's resolved config into internal hook event context without mutating the shared event object. (#72888) Thanks @jalapeno777.</li>
+<li>Agents/ACP: pass the resolved ACP agent directory into media understanding so per-agent media caches and config are used for ACP-dispatched image turns. (#72832) Thanks @luyao618.</li>
+<li>Gateway/Bonjour: truncate mDNS service names and host labels to the 63-byte DNS label limit at valid UTF-8 boundaries. (#72809) Thanks @luyao618.</li>
+<li>Feishu: treat groups explicitly configured under channels.feishu.groups as admitted even when groupAllowFrom is empty, while preserving groupPolicy: "disabled" as a hard group block and keeping groups.\* wildcard defaults non-admitting. Fixes #67687. (#72789) Thanks @MoerAI.</li>
+<li>Gateway/startup: keep hot Gateway boot paths on leaf config imports and add max-RSS reporting to the gateway startup bench so low-memory startup regressions are visible before release. Thanks @vincentkoc.</li>
+<li>WebChat: read <code>chat.history</code> from active transcript branches, drop stale streamed assistant tails once final history catches up, and coalesce duplicate in-flight Control UI submits, so rewritten prompts, completed replies, and rapid send events no longer render or process twice. Fixes #72975, #72963, and #72974. Thanks @dmagdici, @lhtpluto, and @Benjamin5281999.</li>
+<li>WebChat/TTS: persist automatic final-mode TTS audio as a supplemental audio-only transcript update instead of adding a second assistant message with the same visible text. Fixes #72830. Thanks @lhtpluto.</li>
+<li>Agents/LSP: terminate bundled stdio LSP process trees during runtime disposal and Gateway shutdown, so nested children such as <code>tsserver</code> do not survive stop or restart. Fixes #72357. Thanks @ai-hpc and @bittoby.</li>
+<li>Diagnostics/OTEL: capture privacy-safe model-call request payload bytes, streamed response bytes, first-response latency, and total duration in diagnostic events, plugin hooks, stability snapshots, and OTEL model-call spans/metrics without logging raw model content. Fixes #33832. Thanks @wwh830.</li>
+<li>Logging: write validated diagnostic trace context as top-level <code>traceId</code>, <code>spanId</code>, <code>parentSpanId</code>, and <code>traceFlags</code> fields in file-log JSONL records so traced requests and model calls are easier to correlate in log processors. Refs #40353. Thanks @liangruochong44-ui.</li>
+<li>Logging/sessions: apply configured redaction patterns to persisted session transcript text and accept escaped character classes in safe custom redaction regexes, so transcript JSONL no longer keeps matching sensitive text in the clear. Fixes #42982. Thanks @panpan0000.</li>
+<li>Providers/Ollama: honor <code>/api/show</code> capabilities when registering local models so non-tool Ollama models no longer receive the agent tool surface, and keep native Ollama thinking opt-in instead of enabling it by default. Fixes #64710 and duplicate #65343. Thanks @yuan-b, @netherby, @xilopaint, and @Diyforfun2026.</li>
+<li>Control UI/Agents: remount the Overview model controls when switching agents so the primary-model picker cannot retain stale per-agent selection. Fixes #39392; carries forward #39401, notes the duplicate #39495 approach, and keeps #46275/#54724 broader stabilization out of scope. Thanks @daijunyi002, @SergioChan, @aworki, and @wsyjh8.</li>
+<li>Auto-reply: poison inbound message dedupe after replay-unsafe provider/runtime failures so retries stay safe before visible progress but cannot duplicate messages after block output, tool side effects, or session progress. Fixes #69303; keeps #58549 and #64606 as duplicate validation. Thanks @martingarramon, @NikolaFC, and @zeroth-blip.</li>
+<li>Agents/model fallback: jump directly to a known later live-session model redirect instead of walking unrelated fallback candidates, while preserving the already-landed live-session/fallback loop guard. Fixes #57471; related loop family already closed via #58496. Thanks @yuxiaoyang2007-prog.</li>
+<li>Gateway/Bonjour: keep @homebridge/ciao cancellation handlers registered across advertiser restarts so late probing cancellations cannot crash Linux and other mDNS-churned gateways. Thanks @vincentkoc.</li>
+<li>Plugins/startup: load the default <code>memory-core</code> slot during Gateway startup when permitted so active-memory recall can call <code>memory_search</code> and <code>memory_get</code> without requiring an explicit <code>plugins.slots.memory</code> entry, while preserving <code>plugins.slots.memory: "none"</code>. Thanks @vincentkoc.</li>
+<li>Gateway/plugins: resolve <code>gateway_start</code> cron hooks from live Gateway runtime state before the legacy deps fallback, so memory-core dreaming cron reconciliation keeps working on installs where <code>deps.cron</code> is not populated during service startup. Fixes #72835. Thanks @RayWoo.</li>
+<li>Plugins/CLI: prefer native require for compiled bundled plugin JavaScript before jiti so read-only config, status, device, and node commands avoid unnecessary transform overhead on slow hosts. Fixes #62842. Thanks @Effet.</li>
+<li>Plugins/compat: inventory doctor-side deprecation migrations separately from runtime plugin compatibility so release sweeps preserve needed repairs while enforcing dated removal windows. Thanks @vincentkoc.</li>
+<li>Plugins/compat: add missing dated compatibility records for legacy extension-api, memory registration, provider hook/type aliases, runtime aliases, channel SDK helpers, and approval/test utility shims. Thanks @vincentkoc.</li>
+<li>Plugins/CLI: refresh the persisted registry after managed plugin files are removed so ClawHub uninstall cannot leave stale <code>plugins list</code> entries. Thanks @vincentkoc.</li>
+<li>Plugins/CLI: make plugin install and uninstall config writes conflict-aware, clear stale denylist entries on explicit reinstall/removal, and delete managed plugin files only after config/index commit succeeds. Thanks @vincentkoc.</li>
+<li>Plugins: fail <code>plugins update</code> when tracked plugin or hook updates error, keep bundled runtime-dependency repair behind restrictive allowlists, and reject package installs with unloadable extension entries. Thanks @vincentkoc.</li>
+<li>WebChat/Control UI: support non-video file attachments in chat uploads while preserving the existing image attachment path and MIME-sniff fallback for generic image uploads. (#70947) Thanks @IAMSamuelRodda.</li>
+<li>Skills/memory: restore Chokidar v5 hot reloads by watching concrete skill and memory roots with filters, including SKILL.md removals and deleted skill folders without broad workspace recursion. Fixes #27404, #33585, and #41606. Thanks @shelvenzhou, @08820048, and @rocke2020.</li>
+<li>Gateway/chat: keep duplicate attachment-backed <code>chat.send</code> retries with the same idempotency key on the documented in-flight path so aborts still target the real active run. Fixes #70139. Thanks @Feelw00.</li>
+<li>Gateway/chat: preserve repeated boundary characters while merging assistant chat stream deltas, including repeated digits, CJK characters, and markdown/table tokens. Fixes #63769; carries forward #63994 and #65457. Thanks @yon950905 and @mohuaxiao.</li>
+<li>Plugins: share package entrypoint resolution between install and discovery, reject mismatched <code>runtimeExtensions</code>, and cache bundled runtime-dependency manifest reads during scans. Thanks @vincentkoc.</li>
+<li>WhatsApp/Web: keep quiet but healthy linked-device sessions connected by basing the watchdog on WhatsApp Web transport activity, while retaining a longer app-silence cap so frame activity cannot mask a stuck session forever. Fixes #70678; carries forward the focused #71466 approach and keeps #63939 as related configurable-timeout follow-up. Thanks @vincentkoc and @oromeis.</li>
+<li>Discord/gateway: count failed health-monitor restart attempts toward cooldown and hourly caps, and evict stale account lifecycle state during channel reloads so repeated Discord gateway recovery cannot loop on old status. Fixes #38596. (#40413) Thanks @jellyAI-dev and @vashquez.</li>
+<li>TTS/BlueBubbles: pre-transcode synthesized MP3 audio to opus-in-CAF (mono, 24 kHz — validated against macOS 15.x Messages.app's native voice-memo CAF descriptor) on macOS hosts before handing the file to BlueBubbles, so iMessage renders the result as a native voice-memo bubble with proper duration and waveform UI instead of a plain file attachment. Adds an opt-in <code>tts.voice.preferAudioFileFormat</code> channel capability and a magic-byte sniff for the CAF container so the host-local-media validator (which uses <code>file-type</code> and didn't recognize CAF natively) can verify the pre-transcoded buffer. Channels that don't opt in are unaffected. (#72586) Fixes #72506. Thanks @omarshahine.</li>
+<li>Feishu: retry WebSocket startup failures with monitor-owned backoff while preserving SDK-local heartbeat defaults, so persistent-connection startup failures no longer leave the monitor hung. Fixes #68766; related #42354 and #55532. Thanks @alex-xuweilong, @120106835, @sirfengyu, and @tianhaocui.</li>
