 - The macOS smoke should include a dashboard load phase after gateway health: resolve the tokenized URL with `openclaw dashboard --no-open`, verify the served HTML contains the Control UI title/root shell, then open Safari and require an established localhost TCP connection from Safari to the gateway port.
 - `prlctl exec` is fine for deterministic repo commands, but use the guest Terminal or `prlctl enter` when installer parity or shell-sensitive behavior matters.
 - Multi-word `openclaw agent --message ...` checks should go through a guest shell wrapper (`guest_current_user_sh` / `guest_current_user_cli` or `/bin/sh -lc ...`), not raw `prlctl exec ... node openclaw.mjs ...`, or the message can be split into extra argv tokens and Commander reports `too many arguments for 'agent'`.
+- When ref-mode onboarding stores `OPENAI_API_KEY` as an env secret ref, the post-onboard agent verification should also export `OPENAI_API_KEY` for the guest command. The gateway can still reject with pairing-required and fall back to embedded execution, and that fallback needs the env-backed credential available in the shell.
 - On the fresh Tahoe snapshot, `brew` exists but `node` may be missing from PATH in noninteractive exec. Use `/opt/homebrew/bin/node` when needed.
 - Fresh host-served tgz installs should install as guest root with `HOME=/var/root`, then run onboarding as the desktop user via `prlctl exec --current-user`.
 - Root-installed tgz smoke can log plugin blocks for world-writable `extensions/*`; do not treat that as an onboarding or gateway failure unless plugin loading is the task.

 - Multi-word `openclaw agent --message ...` checks should call `& $openclaw ...` inside PowerShell, not `Start-Process ... -ArgumentList` against `openclaw.cmd`, or Commander can see split argv and throw `too many arguments for 'agent'`.
 - Windows installer/tgz phases now retry once after guest-ready recheck; keep new Windows smoke steps idempotent so a transport-flake retry is safe.
 - Windows global `npm install -g` phases can stay quiet for a minute or more even when healthy; inspect the phase log before calling it hung, and only treat it as a regression once the retry wrapper or timeout trips.
+- Fresh Windows ref-mode onboard should use the same background PowerShell runner plus done-file/log-drain pattern as the npm-update helper, including startup materialization checks, host-side timeouts on short poll `prlctl exec` calls, and retry-on-poll-failure behavior for transient transport flakes.
+- Fresh Windows ref-mode agent verification should set `OPENAI_API_KEY` in the PowerShell environment before invoking `openclaw.cmd agent`, for the same pairing-required fallback reason as macOS.
+- The Windows upgrade smoke lane should restart the managed gateway after `upgrade.install-main` and before `upgrade.onboard-ref`, or the old process can keep the previous gateway token and fail `gateway-health` with `unauthorized: gateway token mismatch`.
 - Keep onboarding and status output ASCII-clean in logs; fancy punctuation becomes mojibake in current capture paths.
 - If you hit an older run with `rc=255` plus an empty `fresh.install-main.log` or `upgrade.install-main.log`, treat it as a likely `prlctl exec` transport drop after guest start-up, not immediate proof of an npm/package failure.

 - Docs: `docs/` (images, queue, Pi config). Built output lives in `dist/`.

 - Plugins: install runs `npm install --omit=dev` in plugin dir; runtime deps must live in `dependencies`. Avoid `workspace:*` in `dependencies` (npm install breaks); put `openclaw` in `devDependencies` or `peerDependencies` instead (runtime resolves `openclaw/plugin-sdk` via jiti alias).
 - Import boundaries: extension production code should treat `openclaw/plugin-sdk/*` plus local `api.ts` / `runtime-api.ts` barrels as the public surface. Do not import core `src/**`, `src/plugin-sdk-internal/**`, or another extension's `src/**` directly.
 - Installers served from `https://openclaw.ai/*`: live in the sibling repo `../openclaw.ai` (`public/install.sh`, `public/install-cli.sh`, `public/install.ps1`).
 - Messaging channels: always consider **all** built-in + extension channels when refactoring shared logic (routing, allowlists, pairing, command gating, onboarding, docs).
   - Core channel docs: `docs/channels/`
   - Core channel code: `src/telegram`, `src/discord`, `src/slack`, `src/signal`, `src/imessage`, `src/web` (WhatsApp web), `src/channels`, `src/routing`
-  - Extensions (channel plugins): `extensions/*` (e.g. `extensions/msteams`, `extensions/matrix`, `extensions/zalo`, `extensions/zalouser`, `extensions/voice-call`)

+
+## Architecture Boundaries
+
+- Start here for the repo map:
+  - bundled workspace plugin tree = bundled plugins and the closest example surface for third-party plugins
+  - `src/plugin-sdk/*` = the public plugin contract that extensions are allowed to import
+  - `src/channels/*` = core channel implementation details behind the plugin/channel boundary
+  - `src/plugins/*` = plugin discovery, manifest validation, loader, registry, and contract enforcement
+  - `src/gateway/protocol/*` = typed Gateway control-plane and node wire protocol
+- Progressive disclosure lives in local boundary guides:
+  - bundled-plugin-tree `AGENTS.md`
+  - `src/plugin-sdk/AGENTS.md`
+  - `src/channels/AGENTS.md`
+  - `src/plugins/AGENTS.md`
+  - `src/gateway/protocol/AGENTS.md`
+- Plugin and extension boundary:
+  - Public docs: `docs/plugins/building-plugins.md`, `docs/plugins/architecture.md`, `docs/plugins/sdk-overview.md`, `docs/plugins/sdk-entrypoints.md`, `docs/plugins/sdk-runtime.md`, `docs/plugins/manifest.md`, `docs/plugins/sdk-channel-plugins.md`, `docs/plugins/sdk-provider-plugins.md`
+  - Definition files: `src/plugin-sdk/plugin-entry.ts`, `src/plugin-sdk/core.ts`, `src/plugin-sdk/provider-entry.ts`, `src/plugin-sdk/channel-contract.ts`, `scripts/lib/plugin-sdk-entrypoints.json`, `package.json`
+  - Rule: extensions must cross into core only through `openclaw/plugin-sdk/*`, manifest metadata, and documented runtime helpers. Do not import `src/**` from extension production code.
+  - Rule: core code and tests must not deep-import bundled plugin internals such as a plugin's `src/**` files or `onboard.js`. If core needs a bundled plugin helper, expose it through that plugin's `api.ts` and, when it is a real cross-package contract, through `src/plugin-sdk/<id>.ts`.
+  - Compatibility: new plugin seams are allowed, but they must be added as documented, backwards-compatible, versioned contracts. We have third-party plugins in the wild and do not break them casually.
+- Channel boundary:
+  - Public docs: `docs/plugins/sdk-channel-plugins.md`, `docs/plugins/architecture.md`
+  - Definition files: `src/channels/plugins/types.plugin.ts`, `src/channels/plugins/types.core.ts`, `src/channels/plugins/types.adapters.ts`, `src/plugin-sdk/core.ts`, `src/plugin-sdk/channel-contract.ts`
+  - Rule: `src/channels/**` is core implementation. If plugin authors need a new seam, add it to the Plugin SDK instead of telling them to import channel internals.
+- Provider/model boundary:
+  - Public docs: `docs/plugins/sdk-provider-plugins.md`, `docs/concepts/model-providers.md`, `docs/plugins/architecture.md`
+  - Definition files: `src/plugins/types.ts`, `src/plugin-sdk/provider-entry.ts`, `src/plugin-sdk/provider-auth.ts`, `src/plugin-sdk/provider-catalog-shared.ts`, `src/plugin-sdk/provider-model-shared.ts`
+  - Rule: core owns the generic inference loop; provider plugins own provider-specific behavior through registration and typed hooks. Do not solve provider needs by reaching into unrelated core internals.
+  - Rule: avoid ad hoc reads of `plugins.entries.<id>.config` from unrelated core code. If core needs plugin-owned auth/config behavior, add or use a generic seam (`resolveSyntheticAuth`, public SDK/helper facades, manifest metadata, plugin auto-enable hooks) and honor plugin disablement plus SecretRef semantics.
+  - Rule: vendor-owned tools and settings belong in the owning plugin. Do not add provider-specific tool config, secret collection, or runtime enablement to core `tools.*` surfaces unless the tool is intentionally core-owned.
+- Gateway protocol boundary:
+  - Public docs: `docs/gateway/protocol.md`, `docs/gateway/bridge-protocol.md`, `docs/concepts/architecture.md`
+  - Definition files: `src/gateway/protocol/schema.ts`, `src/gateway/protocol/schema/*.ts`, `src/gateway/protocol/index.ts`
+  - Rule: protocol changes are contract changes. Prefer additive evolution; incompatible changes require explicit versioning, docs, and client/codegen follow-through.
+- Bundled plugin contract boundary:
+  - Public docs: `docs/plugins/architecture.md`, `docs/plugins/manifest.md`, `docs/plugins/sdk-overview.md`
+- Definition files: `src/plugins/contracts/registry.ts`, `src/plugins/types.ts`, `src/plugins/public-artifacts.ts`
+  - Rule: keep manifest metadata, runtime registration, public SDK exports, and contract tests aligned. Do not create a hidden path around the declared plugin interfaces.
+- Extension test boundary:
+  - Keep extension-owned onboarding/config/provider coverage under the owning bundled plugin package when feasible.
+  - If core tests need bundled plugin behavior, consume it through public `src/plugin-sdk/<id>.ts` facades or the plugin's `api.ts`, not private extension modules.

 - Lint/format: `pnpm check`

 - Format fix: `pnpm format:fix` (oxfmt --write)
+- Terminology:
+  - "gate" means a verification command or command set that must be green for the decision you are making.
+  - A local dev gate is the fast default loop, usually `pnpm check` plus any scoped test you actually need.
+  - A landing gate is the broader bar before pushing `main`, usually `pnpm check`, `pnpm test`, and `pnpm build` when the touched surface can affect build output, packaging, lazy-loading/module boundaries, or published surfaces.
+  - A CI gate is whatever the relevant workflow enforces for that lane (for example `check`, `check-additional`, `build-smoke`, or release validation).
+- Local dev gate: prefer `pnpm check` for the normal edit loop. It keeps the repo-architecture policy guards out of the default local loop.
+- CI architecture gate: `check-additional` enforces architecture and boundary policy guards that are intentionally kept out of the default local loop.
+- Formatting gate: the pre-commit hook runs `pnpm format` before `pnpm check`. If you want a formatting-only preflight locally, run `pnpm format` explicitly.
+- If you need a fast commit loop, `FAST_COMMIT=1 git commit ...` skips the hook’s repo-wide `pnpm format` and `pnpm check`; use that only when you are deliberately covering the touched surface some other way.
 - Tests: `pnpm test` (vitest); coverage: `pnpm test:coverage`
 - Generated baseline artifacts live together under `docs/.generated/`.
 - Config schema drift uses `pnpm config:docs:gen` / `pnpm config:docs:check`.
 - Plugin SDK API drift uses `pnpm plugin-sdk:api:gen` / `pnpm plugin-sdk:api:check`.
 - If you change config schema/help or the public Plugin SDK surface, update the matching baseline artifact and keep the two drift-check flows adjacent in scripts/workflows/docs guidance rather than inventing a third pattern.
 - For narrowly scoped changes, prefer narrowly scoped tests that directly validate the touched behavior. If no meaningful scoped test exists, say so explicitly and use the next most direct validation available.
-- Preferred landing bar for pushes to `main`: `pnpm check` and `pnpm test`, with a green result when feasible.
+- Verification modes for work on `main`:
+  - Default mode: `main` is relatively stable. Count pre-commit hook coverage when it already verified the current tree, avoid rerunning the exact same checks just for ceremony, and prefer keeping CI/main green before landing.
+  - Fast-commit mode: `main` is moving fast and you intentionally optimize for shorter commit loops. Prefer explicit local verification close to the final landing point, and it is acceptable to use `--no-verify` for intermediate or catch-up commits after equivalent checks have already run locally.
+- Preferred landing bar for pushes to `main`: in Default mode, favor `pnpm check` and `pnpm test` near the final rebase/push point when feasible. In fast-commit mode, verify the touched surface locally near landing without insisting every intermediate commit replay the full hook.
 - Scoped tests prove the change itself. `pnpm test` remains the default `main` landing bar; scoped tests do not replace full-suite gates by default.
 - Hard gate: if the change can affect build output, packaging, lazy-loading/module boundaries, or published surfaces, `pnpm build` MUST be run and MUST pass before pushing `main`.
-- Default rule: do not commit or push with failing format, lint, type, build, or required test checks when those failures are caused by the change or plausibly related to the touched surface.
+- Default rule: do not land changes with failing format, lint, type, build, or required test checks when those failures are caused by the change or plausibly related to the touched surface. Fast-commit mode changes how verification is sequenced; it does not lower the requirement to validate and clean up the touched surface before final landing.
 - For narrowly scoped changes, if unrelated failures already exist on latest `origin/main`, state that clearly, report the scoped tests you ran, and ask before broadening scope into unrelated fixes or landing despite those failures.
 - Do not use scoped tests as permission to ignore plausibly related failures.

 - Never share class behavior via prototype mutation (`applyPrototypeMixins`, `Object.defineProperty` on `.prototype`, or exporting `Class.prototype` for merges). Use explicit inheritance/composition (`A extends B extends C`) or helper composition so TypeScript can typecheck.

+            <description><![CDATA[<h2>OpenClaw 2026.3.28</h2>
+<h3>Breaking</h3>
+<ul>
+<li>Providers/Qwen: remove the deprecated <code>qwen-portal-auth</code> OAuth integration for <code>portal.qwen.ai</code>; migrate to Model Studio with <code>openclaw onboard --auth-choice modelstudio-api-key</code>. (#52709) Thanks @pomelo-nwu.</li>
+<li>Config/Doctor: drop automatic config migrations older than two months; very old legacy keys now fail validation instead of being rewritten on load or by <code>openclaw doctor</code>.</li>
+</ul>
+<h3>Changes</h3>
+<ul>
+<li>xAI/tools: move the bundled xAI provider to the Responses API, add first-class <code>x_search</code>, and auto-enable the xAI plugin from owned web-search and tool config so bundled Grok auth/configured search flows work without manual plugin toggles. (#56048) Thanks @huntharo.</li>
+<li>xAI/onboarding: let the bundled Grok web-search plugin offer optional <code>x_search</code> setup during <code>openclaw onboard</code> and <code>openclaw configure --section web</code>, including an x_search model picker with the shared xAI key.</li>
+<li>MiniMax: add image generation provider for <code>image-01</code> model, supporting generate and image-to-image editing with aspect ratio control. (#54487) Thanks @liyuan97.</li>
+<li>Plugins/hooks: add async <code>requireApproval</code> to <code>before_tool_call</code> hooks, letting plugins pause tool execution and prompt the user for approval via the exec approval overlay, Telegram buttons, Discord interactions, or the <code>/approve</code> command on any channel. The <code>/approve</code> command now handles both exec and plugin approvals with automatic fallback. (#55339) Thanks @vaclavbelak and @joshavant.</li>
+<li>ACP/channels: add current-conversation ACP binds for Discord, BlueBubbles, and iMessage so <code>/acp spawn codex --bind here</code> can turn the current chat into a Codex-backed workspace without creating a child thread, and document the distinction between chat surface, ACP session, and runtime workspace.</li>
+<li>OpenAI/apply_patch: enable <code>apply_patch</code> by default for OpenAI and OpenAI Codex models, and align its sandbox policy access with <code>write</code> permissions.</li>
+<li>Plugins/CLI backends: move bundled Claude CLI, Codex CLI, and Gemini CLI inference defaults onto the plugin surface, add bundled Gemini CLI backend support, and replace <code>gateway run --claude-cli-logs</code> with generic <code>--cli-backend-logs</code> while keeping the old flag as a compatibility alias.</li>
+<li>Plugins/startup: auto-load bundled provider and CLI-backend plugins from explicit config refs, so bundled Claude CLI, Codex CLI, and Gemini CLI message-provider setups no longer need manual <code>plugins.allow</code> entries.</li>
+<li>Podman: simplify the container setup around the current rootless user, install the launch helper under <code>~/.local/bin</code>, and document the host-CLI <code>openclaw --container <name> ...</code> workflow instead of a dedicated <code>openclaw</code> service user.</li>
+<li>Slack/tool actions: add an explicit <code>upload-file</code> Slack action that routes file uploads through the existing Slack upload transport, with optional filename/title/comment overrides for channels and DMs.</li>
+<li>Message actions/files: start unifying file-first sends on the canonical <code>upload-file</code> action by adding explicit support for Microsoft Teams and Google Chat, and by exposing BlueBubbles file sends through <code>upload-file</code> while keeping the legacy <code>sendAttachment</code> alias.</li>
+<li>Plugins/Matrix TTS: send auto-TTS replies as native Matrix voice bubbles instead of generic audio attachments. (#37080) thanks @Matthew19990919.</li>
+<li>CLI: add <code>openclaw config schema</code> to print the generated JSON schema for <code>openclaw.json</code>. (#54523) Thanks @kvokka.</li>
+<li>Config/TTS: auto-migrate legacy speech config on normal reads and secret resolution, keep legacy diagnostics for Doctor, and remove regular-mode runtime fallback for old bundled <code>tts.<provider></code> API-key shapes.</li>
+<li>Memory/plugins: move the pre-compaction memory flush plan behind the active memory plugin contract so <code>memory-core</code> owns flush prompts and target-path policy instead of hardcoded core logic.</li>
+<li>MiniMax: trim model catalog to M2.7 only, removing legacy M2, M2.1, M2.5, and VL-01 models. (#54487) Thanks @liyuan97.</li>
+<li>Plugins/runtime: expose <code>runHeartbeatOnce</code> in the plugin runtime <code>system</code> namespace so plugins can trigger a single heartbeat cycle with an explicit delivery target override (e.g. <code>heartbeat: { target: "last" }</code>). (#40299) Thanks @loveyana.</li>
+<li>Agents/compaction: preserve the post-compaction AGENTS refresh on stale-usage preflight compaction for both immediate replies and queued followups. (#49479) Thanks @jared596.</li>
+<li>Agents/compaction: surface safeguard-specific cancel reasons and relabel benign manual <code>/compact</code> no-op cases as skipped instead of failed. (#51072) Thanks @afurm.</li>
+<li>Docs: add <code>pnpm docs:check-links:anchors</code> for Mintlify anchor validation while keeping <code>scripts/docs-link-audit.mjs</code> as the stable link-audit entrypoint. (#55912) Thanks @velvet-shark.</li>
+<li>Tavily: mark outbound API requests with <code>X-Client-Source: openclaw</code> so Tavily can attribute OpenClaw-originated traffic. (#55335) Thanks @lakshyaag-tavily.</li>
+</ul>
+<h3>Fixes</h3>
+<ul>
+<li>Agents/Anthropic: recover unhandled provider stop reasons (e.g. <code>sensitive</code>) as structured assistant errors instead of crashing the agent run. (#56639)</li>
+<li>Google/models: resolve Gemini 3.1 pro, flash, and flash-lite for all Google provider aliases by passing the actual runtime provider ID and adding a template-provider fallback; fix flash-lite prefix ordering. (#56567)</li>
+<li>OpenAI Codex/image tools: register Codex for media understanding and route image prompts through Codex instructions so image analysis no longer fails on missing provider registration or missing <code>instructions</code>. (#54829) Thanks @neeravmakwana.</li>
+<li>Agents/image tool: restore the generic image-runtime fallback when no provider-specific media-understanding provider is registered, so image analysis works again for providers like <code>openrouter</code> and <code>minimax-portal</code>. (#54858) Thanks @MonkeyLeeT.</li>
+<li>WhatsApp: fix infinite echo loop in self-chat DM mode where the bot's own outbound replies were re-processed as new inbound user messages. (#54570) Thanks @joelnishanth</li>
+<li>Telegram/splitting: replace proportional text estimate with verified HTML-length search so long messages split at word boundaries instead of mid-word; gracefully degrade when tag overhead exceeds the limit. (#56595)</li>
+<li>Telegram/delivery: skip whitespace-only and hook-blanked text replies in bot delivery to prevent GrammyError 400 empty-text crashes. (#56620)</li>
+<li>Telegram/send: validate <code>replyToMessageId</code> at all four API sinks with a shared normalizer that rejects non-numeric, NaN, and mixed-content strings. (#56587)</li>
+<li>Mistral: normalize OpenAI-compatible request flags so official Mistral API runs no longer fail with remaining <code>422 status code (no body)</code> chat errors.</li>
+<li>Control UI/config: keep sensitive raw config hidden by default, replace the blank blocked editor with an explicit reveal-to-edit state, and restore raw JSON editing without auto-exposing secrets. Fixes #55322.</li>
+<li>CLI/zsh: defer <code>compdef</code> registration until <code>compinit</code> is available so zsh completion loads cleanly with plugin managers and manual setups. (#56555)</li>
+<li>BlueBubbles/debounce: guard debounce flush against null message text by sanitizing at the enqueue boundary and adding an independent combiner guard. (#56573)</li>
+<li>Auto-reply: suppress JSON-wrapped <code>{"action":"NO_REPLY"}</code> control envelopes before channel delivery with a strict single-key detector; preserves media when text is only a silent envelope. (#56612)</li>
+<li>ACP/ACPX agent registry: align OpenClaw's ACPX built-in agent mirror with the latest <code>openclaw/acpx</code> command defaults and built-in aliases, pin versioned <code>npx</code> built-ins to exact versions, and stop unknown ACP agent ids from falling through to raw <code>--agent</code> command execution on the MCP-proxy path. (#28321) Thanks @m0nkmaster and @vincentkoc.</li>
+<li>Security/audit: extend web search key audit to recognize Gemini, Grok/xAI, Kimi, Moonshot, and OpenRouter credentials via a boundary-safe bundled-web-search registry shim. (#56540)</li>
+<li>Docs/FAQ: remove broken Xfinity SSL troubleshooting cross-links from English and zh-CN FAQ entries — both sections already contain the full workaround inline. (#56500)</li>
+<li>Telegram: deliver verbose tool summaries inside forum topic sessions again, so threaded topic chats now match DM verbose behavior. (#43236) Thanks @frankbuild.</li>
+<li>BlueBubbles/CLI agents: restore inbound prompt image refs for CLI routed turns, reapply embedded runner image size guardrails, and cover both CLI image transport paths with regression tests. (#51373)</li>
+<li>BlueBubbles/groups: optionally enrich unnamed participant lists with local macOS Contacts names after group gating passes, so group member context can show names instead of only raw phone numbers.</li>
+<li>Discord/reconnect: drain stale gateway sockets, clear cached resume state before forced fresh reconnects, and fail closed when old sockets refuse to die so Discord recovery stops looping on poisoned resume state. (#54697) Thanks @ngutman.</li>
+<li>iMessage: stop leaking inline <code>[[reply_to:...]]</code> tags into delivered text by sending <code>reply_to</code> as RPC metadata and stripping stray directive tags from outbound messages. (#39512) Thanks @mvanhorn.</li>
+<li>CLI/plugins: make routed commands use the same auto-enabled bundled-channel snapshot as gateway startup, so configured bundled channels like Slack load without requiring a prior config rewrite. (#54809) Thanks @neeravmakwana.</li>
+<li>CLI/message send: write manual <code>openclaw message send</code> deliveries into the resolved agent session transcript again by always threading the default CLI agent through outbound mirroring. (#54187) Thanks @KevInTheCloud5617.</li>
+<li>CLI/onboarding: show the Kimi Code API key option again in the Moonshot setup menu so the interactive picker includes all Kimi setup paths together. Fixes #54412 Thanks @sparkyrider</li>
+<li>Agents/status: use provider-aware context window lookup for fresh Anthropic 4.6 model overrides so <code>/status</code> shows the correct 1.0m window instead of an underreported shared-cache minimum. (#54796) Thanks @neeravmakwana.</li>
+<li>OpenAI/WebSocket: preserve reasoning replay metadata and tool-call item ids on WebSocket tool turns, and start a fresh response chain when full-context resend is required. (#53856) Thanks @xujingchen1996.</li>
+<li>OpenAI/WS: restore reasoning blocks for Responses WebSocket runs and keep reasoning/tool-call replay metadata intact so resumed sessions do not lose or break follow-up reasoning-capable turns. (#53856) Thanks @xujingchen1996.</li>
+<li>Agents/errors: surface provider quota/reset details when available, but keep HTML/Cloudflare rate-limit pages on the generic fallback so raw error pages are not shown to users. (#54512) Thanks @bugkill3r.</li>
+<li>Claude CLI: switch the bundled Claude CLI backend to <code>stream-json</code> output so watchdogs see progress on long runs, and keep session/usage metadata even when Claude finishes with an empty result line. (#49698) Thanks @felear2022.</li>
+<li>Claude CLI/MCP: always pass a strict generated <code>--mcp-config</code> overlay for background Claude CLI runs, including the empty-server case, so Claude does not inherit ambient user/global MCP servers. (#54961) Thanks @markojak.</li>
+<li>Agents/embedded replies: surface mid-turn 429 and overload failures when embedded runs end without a user-visible reply, while preserving successful media-only replies that still use legacy <code>mediaUrl</code>. (#50930) Thanks @infichen.</li>
+<li>Chat/UI: move the chat send button onto the shared ghost-button theme styling, while keeping the stop button icon readable on the danger state. (#55075) Thanks @bottenbenny.</li>
+<li>WhatsApp/allowFrom: show a specific allowFrom policy error for valid blocked targets instead of the misleading <code><E.164|group JID></code> format hint. Thanks @mcaxtr.</li>
+<li>Agents/cooldowns: scope rate-limit cooldowns per model so one 429 no longer blocks every model on the same auth profile, replace the exponential 1 min -> 1 h escalation with a stepped 30 s / 1 min / 5 min ladder, and surface a user-facing countdown message when all models are rate-limited. (#49834) Thanks @kiranvk-2011.</li>
+<li>Agents/embedded transport errors: distinguish common network failures like connection refused, DNS lookup failure, and interrupted sockets from true timeouts in embedded-run user messaging and lifecycle diagnostics. (#51419) Thanks @scoootscooob.</li>
+<li>Telegram/pairing: ignore self-authored DM <code>message</code> updates so bot-pinned status cards and similar service updates do not trigger bogus pairing requests or re-enter inbound dispatch. (#54530) thanks @huntharo</li>
+<li>Mattermost/replies: keep pairing replies, slash-command fallback replies, and model-picker messages on the resolved config path so <code>exec:</code> SecretRef bot tokens work across all outbound reply branches. (#48347) thanks @mathiasnagler.</li>
+<li>Microsoft Teams/config: accept the existing <code>welcomeCard</code>, <code>groupWelcomeCard</code>, <code>promptStarters</code>, and feedback/reflection keys in strict config validation so already-supported Teams runtime settings stop failing schema checks. (#54679) Thanks @gumclaw.</li>
+<li>MCP/channels: add a Gateway-backed channel MCP bridge with Codex/Claude-facing conversation tools, Claude channel notifications, and safer stdio bridge lifecycle handling for reconnects and routed session discovery.</li>
+<li>Plugins/SDK: thread <code>moduleUrl</code> through plugin-sdk alias resolution so user-installed plugins outside the openclaw directory correctly resolve <code>openclaw/plugin-sdk/*</code> subpath imports, and gate <code>plugin-sdk:check-exports</code> in <code>release:check</code>. (#54283) Thanks @xieyongliang.</li>
+<li>Config/web fetch: allow the documented <code>tools.web.fetch.maxResponseBytes</code> setting in runtime schema validation so valid configs no longer fail with unrecognized-key errors. (#53401) Thanks @erhhung.</li>
+<li>Message tool/buttons: keep the shared <code>buttons</code> schema optional in merged tool definitions so plain <code>action=send</code> calls stop failing validation when no buttons are provided. (#54418) Thanks @adzendo.</li>
+<li>Agents/openai-compatible tool calls: deduplicate repeated tool call ids across live assistant messages and replayed history so OpenAI-compatible backends no longer reject duplicate <code>tool_call_id</code> values with HTTP 400. (#40996) Thanks @xaeon2026.</li>
+<li>Models/openai-completions: default non-native OpenAI-compatible providers to omit tool-definition <code>strict</code> fields unless users explicitly opt back in, so tool calling keeps working on providers that reject that option. (#45497) Thanks @sahancava.</li>
+<li>Plugins/context engines: retry strict legacy <code>assemble()</code> calls without the new <code>prompt</code> field when older engines reject it, preserving prompt-aware retrieval compatibility for pre-prompt plugins. (#50848) thanks @danhdoan.</li>
+<li>CLI/update status: explicitly say <code>up to date</code> when the local version already matches npm latest, while keeping the availability logic unchanged. (#51409) Thanks @dongzhenye.</li>
+<li>Daemon/Linux: stop flagging non-gateway systemd services as duplicate gateways just because their unit files mention OpenClaw, reducing false-positive doctor/log noise. (#45328) Thanks @gregretkowski.</li>
+<li>Feishu: close WebSocket connections on monitor stop/abort so ghost connections no longer persist, preventing duplicate event processing and resource leaks across restart cycles. (#52844) Thanks @schumilin.</li>
+<li>Feishu: use the original message <code>create_time</code> instead of <code>Date.now()</code> for inbound timestamps so offline-retried messages carry the correct authoring time, preventing mis-targeted agent actions on stale instructions. (#52809) Thanks @schumilin.</li>
+<li>Control UI/Skills: open skill detail dialogs with the browser modal lifecycle so clicking a skill row keeps the panel centered instead of rendering it off-screen at the bottom of the page.</li>
+<li>Matrix/replies: include quoted poll question/options in inbound reply context so the agent sees the original poll content when users reply to Matrix poll messages. (#55056) Thanks @alberthild.</li>
+<li>Matrix/plugins: keep plugin bootstrap from crashing when built runtime mixes bare and deep <code>matrix-js-sdk</code> entrypoints, so unrelated channels do not get taken down during plugin load. (#56273) Thanks @aquaright1.</li>
+<li>Agents/sandbox: honor <code>tools.sandbox.tools.alsoAllow</code>, let explicit sandbox re-allows remove matching built-in default-deny tools, and keep sandbox explain/error guidance aligned with the effective sandbox tool policy. (#54492) Thanks @ngutman.</li>
+<li>Agents/sandbox: make blocked-tool guidance glob-aware again, redact/sanitize session-specific explain hints for safer copy-paste, and avoid leaking control-character session keys in those hints. (#54684) Thanks @ngutman.</li>
+<li>Agents/compaction: trigger timeout recovery compaction before retrying high-context LLM timeouts so embedded runs stop repeating oversized requests. (#46417) thanks @joeykrug.</li>
+<li>Agents/compaction: reconcile <code>sessions.json.compactionCount</code> after a late embedded auto-compaction success so persisted session counts catch up once the handler reports completion. (#45493) Thanks @jackal092927.</li>
+<li>Agents/failover: classify Codex accountId token extraction failures as auth errors so model fallback continues to the next configured candidate. (#55206) Thanks @cosmicnet.</li>
+<li>Plugins/runtime: reuse only compatible active plugin registries across tools, providers, web search, and channel bootstrap, align <code>/tools/invoke</code> plugin loading with the session workspace, and retry outbound channel recovery when the pinned channel surface changes so plugin tools and channels stop disappearing or re-registering from mismatched runtime loads. Thanks @gumadeiras.</li>
+<li>Talk/macOS: stop direct system-voice failures from replaying system speech, use app-locale fallback for shared watchdog timing, and add regression coverage for the macOS fallback route and language-aware timeout policy. (#53511) thanks @hongsw.</li>
+<li>Discord/gateway cleanup: keep late Carbon reconnect-exhausted errors suppressed through startup/dispose cleanup so Discord monitor shutdown no longer crashes on late gateway close events. (#55373) Thanks @Takhoffman.</li>
+<li>Discord/gateway shutdown: treat expected reconnect-exhausted events during intentional lifecycle stop as clean shutdowns so startup-abort cleanup no longer surfaces false gateway failures. (#55324) Thanks @joelnishanth.</li>
+<li>Discord/gateway shutdown: suppress reconnect-exhausted events that were already buffered before teardown flips <code>lifecycleStopping</code>, so stale-socket Discord restarts no longer crash the whole gateway. Fixes #55403 and #55421. Thanks @lml2468 and @vincentkoc.</li>
+<li>GitHub Copilot/auth refresh: treat large <code>expires_at</code> values as seconds epochs and clamp far-future runtime auth refresh timers so Copilot token refresh cannot fall into a <code>setTimeout</code> overflow hot loop. (#55360) Thanks @michael-abdo.</li>
+<li>Agents/status: use the persisted runtime session model in <code>session_status</code> when no explicit override exists, and honor per-agent <code>thinkingDefault</code> in both <code>session_status</code> and <code>/status</code>. (#55425) Thanks @scoootscooob, @xaeon2026, and @ysfbsf.</li>
+<li>Heartbeat/runner: guarantee the interval timer is re-armed after heartbeat runs and unexpected runner errors so scheduled heartbeats do not silently stop after an interrupted cycle. (#52270) Thanks @MiloStack.</li>
+<li>Config/Doctor: rewrite stale bundled plugin load paths from legacy bundled-plugin locations to the packaged bundled path, including directory-name mismatches and slash-suffixed config entries. (#55054) Thanks @SnowSky1.</li>
+<li>WhatsApp/mentions: stop treating mentions embedded in quoted messages as direct mentions so replying to a message that @mentioned the bot no longer falsely triggers mention gating. (#52711) Thanks @lurebat.</li>
+<li>Matrix: keep separate 2-person rooms out of DM routing after <code>m.direct</code> seeds successfully, while still honoring explicit <code>is_direct</code> state and startup fallback recovery. (#54890) thanks @private-peter</li>
+<li>Agents/ollama fallback: surface non-2xx Ollama HTTP errors with a leading status code so HTTP 503 responses trigger model fallback again. (#55214) Thanks @bugkill3r.</li>
+<li>Feishu/tools: stop synthetic agent ids like <code>agent-spawner</code> from being treated as Feishu account ids during tool execution, so tools fall back to the configured/default Feishu account unless the contextual id is a real enabled Feishu account. (#55627) Thanks @MonkeyLeeT.</li>
+<li>Google/tools: strip empty <code>required: []</code> arrays from Gemini tool schemas so optional-only tool parameters no longer trigger Google validator 400s. (#52106) Thanks @oliviareid-svg.</li>
+<li>Onboarding/TUI/local gateways: show the resolved gateway port in setup output, clarify no-daemon local health/dashboard messaging, and preserve loopback Control UI auth on reruns and explicit local gateway URLs so local quickstart flows recover cleanly. (#55730) Thanks @shakkernerd.</li>
+<li>TUI/chat log: keep system messages as single logical entries and prune overflow at whole-message boundaries so wrapped system spacing stays intact. (#55732) Thanks @shakkernerd.</li>
+<li>TUI/activation: validate <code>/activation</code> arguments in the TUI and reject invalid values instead of silently coercing them to <code>mention</code>. (#55733) Thanks @shakkernerd.</li>
+<li>Agents/model switching: apply <code>/model</code> changes to active embedded runs at the next safe retry boundary, so overloaded or retrying turns switch to the newly selected model instead of staying pinned to the old provider.</li>
+<li>Agents/Codex fallback: classify Codex <code>server_error</code> payloads as failoverable, sanitize <code>Codex error:</code> payloads before they reach chat, preserve context-overflow guidance for prefixed <code>invalid_request_error</code> payloads, and omit provider <code>request_id</code> values from user-facing UI copy. (#42892) Thanks @xaeon2026.</li>
+<li>Memory/search: share memory embedding provider registrations across split plugin runtimes so memory search no longer fails with unknown provider errors after memory-core registers built-in adapters. (#55945) Thanks @glitch418x.</li>
+<li>Discord/Carbon beta: update <code>@buape/carbon</code> to the latest beta and pass the new <code>RateLimitError</code> request argument so Discord stays compatible with the upstream beta constructor change. (#55980) Thanks @ngutman.</li>
+<li>Plugins/inbound claims: pass full inbound attachment arrays through <code>inbound_claim</code> hook metadata while keeping the legacy singular media attachment fields for compatibility. (#55452) Thanks @huntharo.</li>
+<li>Plugins/Matrix: preserve sender filenames for inbound media by forwarding <code>originalFilename</code> to <code>saveMediaBuffer</code>. (#55692) thanks @esrehmki.</li>
+<li>Matrix/mentions: recognize <code>matrix.to</code> mentions whose visible label uses the bot's room display name, so <code>requireMention: true</code> rooms respond correctly in modern Matrix clients. (#55393) thanks @nickludlam.</li>
+<li>Ollama/thinking off: route <code>thinkingLevel=off</code> through the live Ollama extension request path so thinking-capable Ollama models now receive top-level <code>think: false</code> instead of silently generating hidden reasoning tokens. (#53200) Thanks @BruceMacD.</li>
+<li>Plugins/diffs: stage bundled <code>@pierre/diffs</code> runtime dependencies during packaged updates so the bundled diff viewer keeps loading after global installs and updates. (#56077) Thanks @gumadeiras.</li>
+<li>Plugins/diffs: load bundled Pierre themes without JSON module imports so diff rendering keeps working on newer Node builds. (#45869) thanks @NickHood1984.</li>
+<li>Plugins/uninstall: remove owned <code>channels.<id></code> config when uninstalling channel plugins, and keep the uninstall preview aligned with explicit channel ownership so built-in channels and shared keys stay intact. (#35915) Thanks @wbxl2000.</li>
+<li>Plugins/Matrix: prefer explicit DM signals when choosing outbound direct rooms and routing unmapped verification summaries, so strict 2-person fallback rooms do not outrank the real DM. (#56076) thanks @gumadeiras</li>
+<li>Plugins/Matrix: resolve env-backed <code>accessToken</code> and <code>password</code> SecretRefs against the active Matrix config env path during startup, and officially accept SecretRef <code>accessToken</code> config values. (#54980) thanks @kakahu2015.</li>
+<li>Microsoft Teams/proactive DMs: prefer the freshest personal conversation reference for <code>user:<aadObjectId></code> sends when multiple stored references exist, so replies stop targeting stale DM threads. (#54702) Thanks @gumclaw.</li>
+<li>Gateway/plugins: reuse the session workspace when building HTTP <code>/tools/invoke</code> tool lists and harden tool construction to infer the session agent workspace by default, so workspace plugins do not re-register on repeated HTTP tool calls. (#56101) thanks @neeravmakwana</li>
+<li>Brave/web search: normalize unsupported Brave <code>country</code> filters to <code>ALL</code> before request and cache-key generation so locale-derived values like <code>VN</code> stop failing with upstream 422 validation errors. (#55695) Thanks @chen-zhang-cs-code.</li>
+<li>Discord/replies: preserve leading indentation when stripping inline reply tags so reply-tagged plain text and fenced code blocks keep their formatting. (#55960) Thanks @Nanako0129.</li>
+<li>Daemon/status: surface immediate gateway close reasons from lightweight probes and prefer those concrete auth or pairing failures over generic timeouts in <code>openclaw daemon status</code>. (#56282) Thanks @mbelinky.</li>
+<li>Agents/failover: classify HTTP 410 errors as retryable timeouts by default while still preserving explicit session-expired, billing, and auth signals from the payload. (#55201) thanks @nikus-pan.</li>
+<li>Agents/subagents: restore completion announce delivery for extension channels like BlueBubbles. (#56348)</li>
+<li>Plugins/Matrix: load bundled <code>@matrix-org/matrix-sdk-crypto-nodejs</code> through <code>createRequire(...)</code> so E2EE media send and receive keep the package-local native binding lookup working in packaged ESM builds. (#54566) thanks @joelnishanth.</li>
+<li>Plugins/Matrix: encrypt E2EE image thumbnails with <code>thumbnail_file</code> while keeping unencrypted-room previews on <code>thumbnail_url</code>, so encrypted Matrix image events keep thumbnail metadata without leaking plaintext previews. (#54711) thanks @frischeDaten.</li>
+<li>Telegram/forum topics: keep native <code>/new</code> and <code>/reset</code> routed to the active topic by preserving the topic target on forum-thread command context. (#35963)</li>

-            <description><![CDATA[<h2>OpenClaw 2026.3.13</h2>
-<h3>Changes</h3>
-<ul>
-<li>Android/chat settings: redesign the chat settings sheet with grouped device and media sections, refresh the Connect and Voice tabs, and tighten the chat composer/session header for a denser mobile layout. (#44894) Thanks @obviyus.</li>
-<li>iOS/onboarding: add a first-run welcome pager before gateway setup, stop auto-opening the QR scanner, and show <code>/pair qr</code> instructions on the connect step. (#45054) Thanks @ngutman.</li>
-<li>Browser/existing-session: add an official Chrome DevTools MCP attach mode for signed-in live Chrome sessions, with docs for <code>chrome://inspect/#remote-debugging</code> enablement and direct backlinks to Chrome’s own setup guides.</li>
-<li>Browser/agents: add built-in <code>profile="user"</code> for the logged-in host browser and <code>profile="chrome-relay"</code> for the extension relay, so agent browser calls can prefer the real signed-in browser without the extra <code>browserSession</code> selector.</li>
-<li>Browser/act automation: add batched actions, selector targeting, and delayed clicks for browser act requests with normalized batch dispatch. Thanks @vincentkoc.</li>
-<li>Docker/timezone override: add <code>OPENCLAW_TZ</code> so <code>docker-setup.sh</code> can pin gateway and CLI containers to a chosen IANA timezone instead of inheriting the daemon default. (#34119) Thanks @Lanfei.</li>
-<li>Dependencies/pi: bump <code>@mariozechner/pi-agent-core</code>, <code>@mariozechner/pi-ai</code>, <code>@mariozechner/pi-coding-agent</code>, and <code>@mariozechner/pi-tui</code> to <code>0.58.0</code>.</li>
-</ul>
-<h3>Fixes</h3>
-<ul>
-<li>Dashboard/chat UI: stop reloading full chat history on every live tool result in dashboard v2 so tool-heavy runs no longer trigger UI freeze/re-render storms while the final event still refreshes persisted history. (#45541) Thanks @BunsDev.</li>
-<li>Gateway/client requests: reject unanswered gateway RPC calls after a bounded timeout and clear their pending state, so stalled connections no longer leak hanging <code>GatewayClient.request()</code> promises indefinitely.</li>
-<li>Build/plugin-sdk bundling: bundle plugin-sdk subpath entries in one shared build pass so published packages stop duplicating shared chunks and avoid the recent plugin-sdk memory blow-up. (#45426) Thanks @TarasShyn.</li>
-<li>Ollama/reasoning visibility: stop promoting native <code>thinking</code> and <code>reasoning</code> fields into final assistant text so local reasoning models no longer leak internal thoughts in normal replies. (#45330) Thanks @xi7ang.</li>
-<li>Android/onboarding QR scan: switch setup QR scanning to Google Code Scanner so onboarding uses a more reliable scanner instead of the legacy embedded ZXing flow. (#45021) Thanks @obviyus.</li>
-<li>Browser/existing-session: harden driver validation and session lifecycle so transport errors trigger reconnects while tool-level errors preserve the session, and extract shared ARIA role sets to deduplicate Playwright and Chrome MCP snapshot paths. (#45682) Thanks @odysseus0.</li>
-<li>Browser/existing-session: accept text-only <code>list_pages</code> and <code>new_page</code> responses from Chrome DevTools MCP so live-session tab discovery and new-tab open flows keep working when the server omits structured page metadata.</li>
-<li>Control UI/insecure auth: preserve explicit shared token and password auth on plain-HTTP Control UI connects so LAN and reverse-proxy sessions no longer drop shared auth before the first WebSocket handshake. (#45088) Thanks @velvet-shark.</li>
-<li>Gateway/session reset: preserve <code>lastAccountId</code> and <code>lastThreadId</code> across gateway session resets so replies keep routing back to the same account and thread after <code>/reset</code>. (#44773) Thanks @Lanfei.</li>
-<li>macOS/onboarding: avoid self-restarting freshly bootstrapped launchd gateways and give new daemon installs longer to become healthy, so <code>openclaw onboard --install-daemon</code> no longer false-fails on slower Macs and fresh VM snapshots.</li>
-<li>Gateway/status: add <code>openclaw gateway status --require-rpc</code> and clearer Linux non-interactive daemon-install failure reporting so automation can fail hard on probe misses instead of treating a printed RPC error as green.</li>
-<li>macOS/exec approvals: respect per-agent exec approval settings in the gateway prompter, including allowlist fallback when the native prompt cannot be shown, so gateway-triggered <code>system.run</code> requests follow configured policy instead of always prompting or denying unexpectedly. (#13707) Thanks @sliekens.</li>
-<li>Telegram/media downloads: thread the same direct or proxy transport policy into SSRF-guarded file fetches so inbound attachments keep working when Telegram falls back between env-proxy and direct networking. (#44639) Thanks @obviyus.</li>
-<li>Telegram/inbound media IPv4 fallback: retry SSRF-guarded Telegram file downloads once with the same IPv4 fallback policy as Bot API calls so fresh installs on IPv6-broken hosts no longer fail to download inbound images.</li>
-<li>Windows/gateway install: bound <code>schtasks</code> calls and fall back to the Startup-folder login item when task creation hangs, so native <code>openclaw gateway install</code> fails fast instead of wedging forever on broken Scheduled Task setups.</li>
-<li>Windows/gateway stop: resolve Startup-folder fallback listeners from the installed <code>gateway.cmd</code> port, so <code>openclaw gateway stop</code> now actually kills fallback-launched gateway processes before restart.</li>
-<li>Windows/gateway status: reuse the installed service command environment when reading runtime status, so startup-fallback gateways keep reporting the configured port and running state in <code>gateway status --json</code> instead of falling back to <code>gateway port unknown</code>.</li>
-<li>Windows/gateway auth: stop attaching device identity on local loopback shared-token and password gateway calls, so native Windows agent replies no longer log stale <code>device signature expired</code> fallback noise before succeeding.</li>
-<li>Discord/gateway startup: treat plain-text and transient <code>/gateway/bot</code> metadata fetch failures as transient startup errors so Discord gateway boot no longer crashes on unhandled rejections. (#44397) Thanks @jalehman.</li>
-<li>Slack/probe: keep <code>auth.test()</code> bot and team metadata mapping stable while simplifying the probe result path. (#44775) Thanks @Cafexss.</li>
-<li>Dashboard/chat UI: render oversized plain-text replies as normal paragraphs instead of capped gray code blocks, so long desktop chat responses stay readable without tab-switching refreshes.</li>
-<li>Dashboard/chat UI: restore the <code>chat-new-messages</code> class on the New messages scroll pill so the button uses its existing compact styling instead of rendering as a full-screen SVG overlay. (#44856) Thanks @Astro-Han.</li>
-<li>Gateway/Control UI: restore the operator-only device-auth bypass and classify browser connect failures so origin and device-identity problems no longer show up as auth errors in the Control UI and web chat. (#45512) thanks @sallyom.</li>
-<li>macOS/voice wake: stop crashing wake-word command extraction when speech segment ranges come from a different transcript instance.</li>
-<li>Discord/allowlists: honor raw <code>guild_id</code> when hydrated guild objects are missing so allowlisted channels and threads like <code>#maintainers</code> no longer get false-dropped before channel allowlist checks.</li>
-<li>macOS/runtime locator: require Node >=22.16.0 during macOS runtime discovery so the app no longer accepts Node versions that the main runtime guard rejects later. Thanks @sumleo.</li>
-<li>Agents/custom providers: preserve blank API keys for loopback OpenAI-compatible custom providers by clearing the synthetic Authorization header at runtime, while keeping explicit apiKey and oauth/token config from silently downgrading into fake bearer auth. (#45631) Thanks @xinhuagu.</li>
-<li>Models/google-vertex Gemini flash-lite normalization: apply existing bare-ID preview normalization to <code>google-vertex</code> model refs and provider configs so <code>google-vertex/gemini-3.1-flash-lite</code> resolves as <code>gemini-3.1-flash-lite-preview</code>. (#42435) thanks @scoootscooob.</li>
-<li>iMessage/remote attachments: reject unsafe remote attachment paths before spawning SCP, so sender-controlled filenames can no longer inject shell metacharacters into remote media staging. Thanks @lintsinghua.</li>
-<li>Telegram/webhook auth: validate the Telegram webhook secret before reading or parsing request bodies, so unauthenticated requests are rejected immediately instead of consuming up to 1 MB first. Thanks @space08.</li>
-<li>Security/device pairing: make bootstrap setup codes single-use so pending device pairing requests cannot be silently replayed and widened to admin before approval. Thanks @tdjackey.</li>
-<li>Security/external content: strip zero-width and soft-hyphen marker-splitting characters during boundary sanitization so spoofed <code>EXTERNAL_UNTRUSTED_CONTENT</code> markers fall back to the existing hardening path instead of bypassing marker normalization.</li>
-<li>Security/exec approvals: unwrap more <code>pnpm</code> runtime forms during approval binding, including <code>pnpm --reporter ... exec</code> and direct <code>pnpm node</code> file runs, with matching regression coverage and docs updates.</li>
-<li>Security/exec approvals: fail closed for Perl <code>-M</code> and <code>-I</code> approval flows so preload and load-path module resolution stays outside approval-backed runtime execution unless the operator uses a broader explicit trust path.</li>
-<li>Security/exec approvals: recognize PowerShell <code>-File</code> and <code>-f</code> wrapper forms during inline-command extraction so approval and command-analysis paths treat file-based PowerShell launches like the existing <code>-Command</code> variants.</li>
-<li>Security/exec approvals: unwrap <code>env</code> dispatch wrappers inside shell-segment allowlist resolution on macOS so <code>env FOO=bar /path/to/bin</code> resolves against the effective executable instead of the wrapper token.</li>
-<li>Security/exec approvals: treat backslash-newline as shell line continuation during macOS shell-chain parsing so line-continued <code>$(</code> substitutions fail closed instead of slipping past command-substitution checks.</li>
-<li>Security/exec approvals: bind macOS skill auto-allow trust to both executable name and resolved path so same-basename binaries no longer inherit trust from unrelated skill bins.</li>
-<li>Build/plugin-sdk bundling: bundle plugin-sdk subpath entries in one shared build pass so published packages stop duplicating shared chunks and avoid the recent plugin-sdk memory blow-up. (#45426) Thanks @TarasShyn.</li>
-<li>Cron/isolated sessions: route nested cron-triggered embedded runner work onto the nested lane so isolated cron jobs no longer deadlock when compaction or other queued inner work runs. Thanks @vincentkoc.</li>
-<li>Agents/OpenAI-compatible compat overrides: respect explicit user <code>models[].compat</code> opt-ins for non-native <code>openai-completions</code> endpoints so usage-in-streaming capability overrides no longer get forced off when the endpoint actually supports them. (#44432) Thanks @cheapestinference.</li>
-<li>Agents/Azure OpenAI startup prompts: rephrase the built-in <code>/new</code>, <code>/reset</code>, and post-compaction startup instruction so Azure OpenAI deployments no longer hit HTTP 400 false positives from the content filter. (#43403) Thanks @xingsy97.</li>
-<li>Agents/memory bootstrap: load only one root memory file, preferring <code>MEMORY.md</code> and using <code>memory.md</code> as a fallback, so case-insensitive Docker mounts no longer inject duplicate memory context. (#26054) Thanks @Lanfei.</li>
-<li>Agents/compaction: compare post-compaction token sanity checks against full-session pre-compaction totals and skip the check when token estimation fails, so sessions with large bootstrap context keep real token counts instead of falling back to unknown. (#28347) thanks @efe-arv.</li>
-<li>Agents/compaction: preserve safeguard compaction summary language continuity via default and configurable custom instructions so persona drift is reduced after auto-compaction. (#10456) Thanks @keepitmello.</li>
-<li>Agents/tool warnings: distinguish gated core tools like <code>apply_patch</code> from plugin-only unknown entries in <code>tools.profile</code> warnings, so unavailable core tools now report current runtime/provider/model/config gating instead of suggesting a missing plugin.</li>
-<li>Config/validation: accept documented <code>agents.list[].params</code> per-agent overrides in strict config validation so <code>openclaw config validate</code> no longer rejects runtime-supported <code>cacheRetention</code>, <code>temperature</code>, and <code>maxTokens</code> settings. (#41171) Thanks @atian8179.</li>
-<li>Config/web fetch: restore runtime validation for documented <code>tools.web.fetch.readability</code> and <code>tools.web.fetch.firecrawl</code> settings so valid web fetch configs no longer fail with unrecognized-key errors. (#42583) Thanks @stim64045-spec.</li>
-<li>Signal/config validation: add <code>channels.signal.groups</code> schema support so per-group <code>requireMention</code>, <code>tools</code>, and <code>toolsBySender</code> overrides no longer get rejected during config validation. (#27199) Thanks @unisone.</li>
-<li>Config/discovery: accept <code>discovery.wideArea.domain</code> in strict config validation so unicast DNS-SD gateway configs no longer fail with an unrecognized-key error. (#35615) Thanks @ingyukoh.</li>
-<li>Telegram/media errors: redact Telegram file URLs before building media fetch errors so failed inbound downloads do not leak bot tokens into logs. Thanks @space08.</li>

 ### Plugin Hook Events
 
+#### before_tool_call
+
+Runs before each tool call. Plugins can modify parameters, block the call, or request user approval.
+
+Return fields:
+
+- **`params`**: Override tool parameters (merged with original params)
+- **`block`**: Set to `true` to block the tool call
+- **`blockReason`**: Reason shown to the agent when blocked
+- **`requireApproval`**: Pause execution and wait for user approval via channels
+
+The `requireApproval` field triggers native platform approval (Telegram buttons, Discord components, `/approve` command) instead of relying on the agent to cooperate:
+
+```typescript
+{
+  requireApproval: {
+    title: "Sensitive operation",
+    description: "This tool call modifies production data",
+    severity: "warning",       // "info" | "warning" | "critical"
+    timeoutMs: 120000,         // default: 120s
+    timeoutBehavior: "deny",   // "allow" | "deny" (default)
+    onResolution: async (decision) => {
+      // Called after the user resolves: "allow-once", "allow-always", "deny", "timeout", or "cancelled"
+    },
+  }
+}
+```
+
+The `onResolution` callback is invoked with the final decision string after the approval resolves, times out, or is cancelled. It runs in-process within the plugin (not sent to the gateway). Use it to persist decisions, update caches, or perform cleanup.
+
+The `pluginId` field is stamped automatically by the hook runner from the plugin registration. When multiple plugins return `requireApproval`, the first one (highest priority) wins.
+
+`block` takes precedence over `requireApproval`: if the merged hook result has both `block: true` and a `requireApproval` field, the tool call is blocked immediately without triggering the approval flow. This ensures a higher-priority plugin's block cannot be overridden by a lower-priority plugin's approval request.
+
+If the gateway is unavailable or does not support plugin approvals, the tool call falls back to a soft block using the `description` as the block reason.
+
+#### before_install
+
+Runs after the built-in install security scan and before installation continues. OpenClaw fires this hook for interactive skill installs as well as plugin bundle, package, and single-file installs.
+
+Return fields:
+
+- **`findings`**: Additional scan findings to surface as warnings
+- **`block`**: Set to `true` to block the install
+- **`blockReason`**: Human-readable reason shown when blocked
+
+Event fields:
+
+- **`targetType`**: Install target category (`skill` or `plugin`)
+- **`targetName`**: Human-readable skill name or plugin id for the install target
+- **`sourcePath`**: Absolute path to the install target content being scanned
+- **`sourcePathKind`**: Whether the scanned content is a `file` or `directory`
+- **`origin`**: Normalized install origin when available (for example `openclaw-bundled`, `openclaw-workspace`, `plugin-bundle`, `plugin-package`, or `plugin-file`)
+- **`request`**: Provenance for the install request, including `kind`, `mode`, and optional `requestedSpecifier`
+- **`builtinScan`**: Structured result of the built-in scanner, including `status`, summary counts, findings, and optional `error`
+- **`skill`**: Skill install metadata when `targetType` is `skill`, including `installId` and the selected `installSpec`
+- **`plugin`**: Plugin install metadata when `targetType` is `plugin`, including the canonical `pluginId`, normalized `contentType`, optional `packageName` / `manifestId` / `version`, and `extensions`
+
+Example event (plugin package install):
+
+```json
+{
+  "targetType": "plugin",
+  "targetName": "acme-audit",
+  "sourcePath": "/var/folders/.../openclaw-plugin-acme-audit/package",
+  "sourcePathKind": "directory",

+  "request": {

+    "requestedSpecifier": "@acme/openclaw-plugin-audit@1.4.2"

+    "critical": 0,
+    "warn": 1,
+    "info": 0,
+    "findings": [
+      {
+        "severity": "warn",
+        "ruleId": "network_fetch",
+        "file": "dist/index.js",
+        "line": 88,
+        "message": "Dynamic network fetch detected during install review."
+      }
+    ]
+  },
+  "plugin": {
+    "pluginId": "acme-audit",
+    "contentType": "package",
+    "packageName": "@acme/openclaw-plugin-audit",
+    "manifestId": "acme-audit",
+    "version": "1.4.2",
+    "extensions": ["./dist/index.js"]
+  }
+}
+```
+
+Skill installs use the same event shape with `targetType: "skill"` and a `skill` object instead of `plugin`.
+
+Decision semantics:
+
+- `before_install`: `{ block: true }` is terminal and stops lower-priority handlers.
+- `before_install`: `{ block: false }` is treated as no decision.
+
+Use this hook for external security scanners, policy engines, or enterprise approval gates that need to audit install sources before they are installed.
+
+#### Compaction lifecycle
+
 Compaction lifecycle hooks exposed through the plugin hook runner:
 
 - **`before_compaction`**: Runs before compaction with count/token metadata
 - **`after_compaction`**: Runs after compaction with compaction summary metadata

+  - Running `openclaw mcp serve`
+  - Managing OpenClaw-saved MCP server definitions
+title: "mcp"

+
+# mcp
+
+`openclaw mcp` has two jobs:
+
+- run OpenClaw as an MCP server with `openclaw mcp serve`
+- manage OpenClaw-owned outbound MCP server definitions with `list`, `show`,
+  `set`, and `unset`
+
+In other words:
+
+- `serve` is OpenClaw acting as an MCP server
+- `list` / `show` / `set` / `unset` is OpenClaw acting as an MCP client-side
+  registry for other MCP servers its runtimes may consume later
+
+Use [`openclaw acp`](/cli/acp) when OpenClaw should host a coding harness
+session itself and route that runtime through ACP.
+
+## OpenClaw as an MCP server
+
+This is the `openclaw mcp serve` path.
+
+## When to use `serve`
+
+Use `openclaw mcp serve` when:
+
+- Codex, Claude Code, or another MCP client should talk directly to
+  OpenClaw-backed channel conversations
+- you already have a local or remote OpenClaw Gateway with routed sessions
+- you want one MCP server that works across OpenClaw's channel backends instead
+  of running separate per-channel bridges
+
+Use [`openclaw acp`](/cli/acp) instead when OpenClaw should host the coding
+runtime itself and keep the agent session inside OpenClaw.
+
+## How it works
+
+`openclaw mcp serve` starts a stdio MCP server. The MCP client owns that
+process. While the client keeps the stdio session open, the bridge connects to a
+local or remote OpenClaw Gateway over WebSocket and exposes routed channel
+conversations over MCP.
+
+Lifecycle:
+
+1. the MCP client spawns `openclaw mcp serve`
+2. the bridge connects to Gateway
+3. routed sessions become MCP conversations and transcript/history tools
+4. live events are queued in memory while the bridge is connected
+5. if Claude channel mode is enabled, the same session can also receive
+   Claude-specific push notifications
+
+Important behavior:
+
+- live queue state starts when the bridge connects
+- older transcript history is read with `messages_read`
+- Claude push notifications only exist while the MCP session is alive
+- when the client disconnects, the bridge exits and the live queue is gone
+
+## Choose a client mode
+
+Use the same bridge in two different ways:
+
+- Generic MCP clients: standard MCP tools only. Use `conversations_list`,
+  `messages_read`, `events_poll`, `events_wait`, `messages_send`, and the
+  approval tools.
+- Claude Code: standard MCP tools plus the Claude-specific channel adapter.
+  Enable `--claude-channel-mode on` or leave the default `auto`.
+
+Today, `auto` behaves the same as `on`. There is no client capability detection
+yet.
+
+## What `serve` exposes
+
+The bridge uses existing Gateway session route metadata to expose channel-backed
+conversations. A conversation appears when OpenClaw already has session state
+with a known route such as:
+
+- `channel`
+- recipient or destination metadata
+- optional `accountId`
+- optional `threadId`
+
+This gives MCP clients one place to:
+
+- list recent routed conversations
+- read recent transcript history
+- wait for new inbound events
+- send a reply back through the same route
+- see approval requests that arrive while the bridge is connected
+
+## Usage
+
+```bash
+# Local Gateway
+openclaw mcp serve
+
+# Remote Gateway
+openclaw mcp serve --url wss://gateway-host:18789 --token-file ~/.openclaw/gateway.token
+
+# Remote Gateway with password auth
+openclaw mcp serve --url wss://gateway-host:18789 --password-file ~/.openclaw/gateway.password
+
+# Enable verbose bridge logs
+openclaw mcp serve --verbose
+
+# Disable Claude-specific push notifications
+openclaw mcp serve --claude-channel-mode off
+```
+
+## Bridge tools
+
+The current bridge exposes these MCP tools:
+
+- `conversations_list`
+- `conversation_get`
+- `messages_read`
+- `attachments_fetch`
+- `events_poll`
+- `events_wait`
+- `messages_send`
+- `permissions_list_open`
+- `permissions_respond`
+
+### `conversations_list`
+
+Lists recent session-backed conversations that already have route metadata in
+Gateway session state.
+
+Useful filters:
+
+- `limit`
+- `search`
+- `channel`
+- `includeDerivedTitles`
+- `includeLastMessage`
+
+### `conversation_get`
+
+Returns one conversation by `session_key`.
+
+### `messages_read`
+
+Reads recent transcript messages for one session-backed conversation.
+
+### `attachments_fetch`
+
+Extracts non-text message content blocks from one transcript message. This is a
+metadata view over transcript content, not a standalone durable attachment blob
+store.
+
+### `events_poll`
+
+Reads queued live events since a numeric cursor.
+
+### `events_wait`
+
+Long-polls until the next matching queued event arrives or a timeout expires.
+
+Use this when a generic MCP client needs near-real-time delivery without a
+Claude-specific push protocol.
+
+### `messages_send`
+
+Sends text back through the same route already recorded on the session.
+
+Current behavior:
+
+- requires an existing conversation route
+- uses the session's channel, recipient, account id, and thread id
+- sends text only
+
+### `permissions_list_open`
+
+Lists pending exec/plugin approval requests the bridge has observed since it
+connected to the Gateway.
+
+### `permissions_respond`
+
+Resolves one pending exec/plugin approval request with:
+
+- `allow-once`
+- `allow-always`
+- `deny`
+
+## Event model
+
+The bridge keeps an in-memory event queue while it is connected.
+
+Current event types:
+
+- `message`
+- `exec_approval_requested`
+- `exec_approval_resolved`
+- `plugin_approval_requested`
+- `plugin_approval_resolved`
+- `claude_permission_request`
+
+Important limits:
+
+- the queue is live-only; it starts when the MCP bridge starts
+- `events_poll` and `events_wait` do not replay older Gateway history by
+  themselves
+- durable backlog should be read with `messages_read`
+
+## Claude channel notifications
+
+The bridge can also expose Claude-specific channel notifications. This is the
+OpenClaw equivalent of a Claude Code channel adapter: standard MCP tools remain
+available, but live inbound messages can also arrive as Claude-specific MCP
+notifications.
+
+Flags:
+
+- `--claude-channel-mode off`: standard MCP tools only
+- `--claude-channel-mode on`: enable Claude channel notifications
+- `--claude-channel-mode auto`: current default; same bridge behavior as `on`
+
+When Claude channel mode is enabled, the server advertises Claude experimental
+capabilities and can emit:
+
+- `notifications/claude/channel`
+- `notifications/claude/channel/permission`
+
+Current bridge behavior:
+
+- inbound `user` transcript messages are forwarded as
+  `notifications/claude/channel`
+- Claude permission requests received over MCP are tracked in-memory
+- if the linked conversation later sends `yes abcde` or `no abcde`, the bridge
+  converts that to `notifications/claude/channel/permission`
+- these notifications are live-session only; if the MCP client disconnects,
+  there is no push target
+
+This is intentionally client-specific. Generic MCP clients should rely on the
+standard polling tools.
+
+## MCP client config
+
+Example stdio client config:
+
+```json
+{
+  "mcpServers": {
+    "openclaw": {
+      "command": "openclaw",
+      "args": [
+        "mcp",
+        "serve",
+        "--url",
+        "wss://gateway-host:18789",
+        "--token-file",
+        "/path/to/gateway.token"
+      ]
+    }
+  }
+}
+```
+
+For most generic MCP clients, start with the standard tool surface and ignore
+Claude mode. Turn Claude mode on only for clients that actually understand the
+Claude-specific notification methods.
+
+## Options
+
+`openclaw mcp serve` supports:
+
+- `--url <url>`: Gateway WebSocket URL
+- `--token <token>`: Gateway token
+- `--token-file <path>`: read token from file
+- `--password <password>`: Gateway password
+- `--password-file <path>`: read password from file
+- `--claude-channel-mode <auto|on|off>`: Claude notification mode
+- `-v`, `--verbose`: verbose logs on stderr
+
+Prefer `--token-file` or `--password-file` over inline secrets when possible.
+
+## Security and trust boundary
+
+The bridge does not invent routing. It only exposes conversations that Gateway
+already knows how to route.
+
+That means:
+
+- sender allowlists, pairing, and channel-level trust still belong to the
+  underlying OpenClaw channel configuration
+- `messages_send` can only reply through an existing stored route
+- approval state is live/in-memory only for the current bridge session
+- bridge auth should use the same Gateway token or password controls you would
+  trust for any other remote Gateway client
+
+If a conversation is missing from `conversations_list`, the usual cause is not
+MCP configuration. It is missing or incomplete route metadata in the underlying
+Gateway session.
+
+## Testing
+
+OpenClaw ships a deterministic Docker smoke for this bridge:
+
+```bash
+pnpm test:docker:mcp-channels
+```
+
+That smoke:
+
+- starts a seeded Gateway container
+- starts a second container that spawns `openclaw mcp serve`
+- verifies conversation discovery, transcript reads, attachment metadata reads,
+  live event queue behavior, and outbound send routing
+- validates Claude-style channel and permission notifications over the real
+  stdio MCP bridge
+
+This is the fastest way to prove the bridge works without wiring a real
+Telegram, Discord, or iMessage account into the test run.
+
+For broader testing context, see [Testing](/help/testing).
+
+## Troubleshooting
+
+### No conversations returned
+
+Usually means the Gateway session is not already routable. Confirm that the
+underlying session has stored channel/provider, recipient, and optional
+account/thread route metadata.
+
+### `events_poll` or `events_wait` misses older messages
+
+Expected. The live queue starts when the bridge connects. Read older transcript
+history with `messages_read`.
+
+### Claude notifications do not show up
+
+Check all of these:
+
+- the client kept the stdio MCP session open
+- `--claude-channel-mode` is `on` or `auto`
+- the client actually understands the Claude-specific notification methods
+- the inbound message happened after the bridge connected
+
+### Approvals are missing
+
+`permissions_list_open` only shows approval requests observed while the bridge
+was connected. It is not a durable approval history API.
+
+## OpenClaw as an MCP client registry
+
+This is the `openclaw mcp list`, `show`, `set`, and `unset` path.
+
+These commands do not expose OpenClaw over MCP. They manage OpenClaw-owned MCP
+server definitions under `mcp.servers` in OpenClaw config.
+
+Those saved definitions are for runtimes that OpenClaw launches or configures
+later, such as embedded Pi and other runtime adapters. OpenClaw stores the
+definitions centrally so those runtimes do not need to keep their own duplicate
+MCP server lists.
+
+Important behavior:
+
+- these commands only read or write OpenClaw config
+- they do not connect to the target MCP server
+- they do not validate whether the command, URL, or remote transport is
+  reachable right now
+- runtime adapters decide which transport shapes they actually support at
+  execution time
+
+## Saved MCP server definitions
+
+OpenClaw also stores a lightweight MCP server registry in config for surfaces
+that want OpenClaw-managed MCP definitions.
+
+Commands:
+
+- `openclaw mcp list`
+- `openclaw mcp show [name]`
+- `openclaw mcp set <name> <json>`
+- `openclaw mcp unset <name>`
+
+Examples:
+
+```bash
+openclaw mcp list
+openclaw mcp show context7 --json
+openclaw mcp set context7 '{"command":"uvx","args":["context7-mcp"]}'
+openclaw mcp set docs '{"url":"https://mcp.example.com"}'
+openclaw mcp unset context7
+```
+
+Example config shape:
+
+```json
+{
+  "mcp": {
+    "servers": {
+      "context7": {
+        "command": "uvx",
+        "args": ["context7-mcp"]
+      },
+      "docs": {
+        "url": "https://mcp.example.com"
+      }
+    }
+  }
+}
+```

+### SSE / HTTP transport
+
+Connects to a remote MCP server over HTTP Server-Sent Events.
+
+| Field     | Description                                                      |

+| `url`     | HTTP or HTTPS URL of the remote server (required)                |
+| `headers` | Optional key-value map of HTTP headers (for example auth tokens) |
+
+Example:
+
+```json
+{
+  "mcp": {
+    "servers": {
+      "remote-tools": {
+        "url": "https://mcp.example.com",
+        "headers": {
+          "Authorization": "Bearer <token>"
+        }
+      }
+    }
+  }
+}
+```
+
+Sensitive values in `url` (userinfo) and `headers` are redacted in logs and
+status output.
+
+These commands manage saved config only. They do not start the channel bridge,
+open a live MCP client session, or prove the target server is reachable.
+
+## Current limits
+
+This page documents the bridge as shipped today.
+
+Current limits:
+
+- conversation discovery depends on existing Gateway session route metadata
+- no generic push protocol beyond the Claude-specific adapter
+- no message edit or react tools yet
+- HTTP/SSE transport connects to a single remote server; no multiplexed upstream yet
+- `permissions_list_open` only includes approvals observed while the bridge is
+  connected

 title: "Compaction"

-# Context Window & Compaction
+# Compaction
 
-Every model has a **context window** (max tokens it can see). Long-running chats accumulate messages and tool results; once the window is tight, OpenClaw **compacts** older history to stay within limits.
+Every model has a context window -- the maximum number of tokens it can process.
+When a conversation approaches that limit, OpenClaw **compacts** older messages
+into a summary so the chat can continue.
 
-## What compaction is
+## How it works
 
-Compaction **summarizes older conversation** into a compact summary entry and keeps recent messages intact. The summary is stored in the session history, so future requests use:
+1. Older conversation turns are summarized into a compact entry.
+2. The summary is saved in the session transcript.
+3. Recent messages are kept intact.
 
-- The compaction summary
-- Recent messages after the compaction point
+The full conversation history stays on disk. Compaction only changes what the
+model sees on the next turn.
 
-Compaction **persists** in the session’s JSONL history.
+## Auto-compaction
 
-## Configuration
+Auto-compaction is on by default. It runs when the session nears the context
+limit, or when the model returns a context-overflow error (in which case
+OpenClaw compacts and retries).
 
-Use the `agents.defaults.compaction` setting in your `openclaw.json` to configure compaction behavior (mode, target tokens, etc.).
-Compaction summarization preserves opaque identifiers by default (`identifierPolicy: "strict"`). You can override this with `identifierPolicy: "off"` or provide custom text with `identifierPolicy: "custom"` and `identifierInstructions`.
-
-You can optionally specify a different model for compaction summarization via `agents.defaults.compaction.model`. This is useful when your primary model is a local or small model and you want compaction summaries produced by a more capable model. The override accepts any `provider/model-id` string:
-
-```json
-{
-  "agents": {
-    "defaults": {
-      "compaction": {
-        "model": "openrouter/anthropic/claude-sonnet-4-6"
-      }
-    }
-  }
-}
-```
-
-This also works with local models, for example a second Ollama model dedicated to summarization or a fine-tuned compaction specialist:
-
-```json
-{
-  "agents": {
-    "defaults": {
-      "compaction": {
-        "model": "ollama/llama3.1:8b"
-      }
-    }
-  }
-}
-```
-
-When unset, compaction uses the agent's primary model.
-
-## Auto-compaction (default on)
-
-When a session nears or exceeds the model’s context window, OpenClaw triggers auto-compaction and may retry the original request using the compacted context.
-
-You’ll see:
-
-- `🧹 Auto-compaction complete` in verbose mode
-- `/status` showing `🧹 Compactions: <count>`
-
-Before compaction, OpenClaw can run a **silent memory flush** turn to store
-durable notes to disk. See [Memory](/concepts/memory) for details and config.
+<Info>
+Before compacting, OpenClaw automatically reminds the agent to save important
+notes to [memory](/concepts/memory) files. This prevents context loss.
+</Info>
 
 ## Manual compaction
 
-Use `/compact` (optionally with instructions) to force a compaction pass:
+Type `/compact` in any chat to force a compaction. Add instructions to guide
+the summary:
 
 ```
-/compact Focus on decisions and open questions
+/compact Focus on the API design decisions
 ```
 
-## Context window source
+## Using a different model
 
-Context window is model-specific. OpenClaw uses the model definition from the configured provider catalog to determine limits.
+By default, compaction uses your agent's primary model. You can use a more
+capable model for better summaries:
+
+```json5
+{
+  agents: {
+    defaults: {
+      compaction: {
+        model: "openrouter/anthropic/claude-sonnet-4-6",
+      },
+    },
+  },
+}
+```
 
 ## Compaction vs pruning
 
-- **Compaction**: summarises and **persists** in JSONL.
-- **Session pruning**: trims old **tool results** only, **in-memory**, per request.
+|                  | Compaction                    | Pruning                          |
+| ---------------- | ----------------------------- | -------------------------------- |
+| **What it does** | Summarizes older conversation | Trims old tool results           |
+| **Saved?**       | Yes (in session transcript)   | No (in-memory only, per request) |
+| **Scope**        | Entire conversation           | Tool results only                |
 
-See [/concepts/session-pruning](/concepts/session-pruning) for pruning details.
+[Session pruning](/concepts/session-pruning) is a lighter-weight complement that
+trims tool output without summarizing.
 
-## OpenAI server-side compaction
+## Troubleshooting
 
-OpenClaw also supports OpenAI Responses server-side compaction hints for
-compatible direct OpenAI models. This is separate from local OpenClaw
-compaction and can run alongside it.
+**Compacting too often?** The model's context window may be small, or tool
+outputs may be large. Try enabling
+[session pruning](/concepts/session-pruning).
 
-- Local compaction: OpenClaw summarizes and persists into session JSONL.
-- Server-side compaction: OpenAI compacts context on the provider side when
-  `store` + `context_management` are enabled.
+**Context feels stale after compaction?** Use `/compact Focus on <topic>` to
+guide the summary, or enable the [memory flush](/concepts/memory) so notes
+survive.
 
-See [OpenAI provider](/providers/openai) for model params and overrides.
+**Need a clean slate?** `/new` starts a fresh session without compacting.
 
-## Custom context engines
-
-Compaction behavior is owned by the active
-[context engine](/concepts/context-engine). The legacy engine uses the built-in
-summarization described above. Plugin engines (selected via
-`plugins.slots.contextEngine`) can implement any compaction strategy — DAG
-summaries, vector retrieval, incremental condensation, etc.
-
-When a plugin engine sets `ownsCompaction: true`, OpenClaw delegates all
-compaction decisions to the engine and does not run built-in auto-compaction.
-
-When `ownsCompaction` is `false` or unset, OpenClaw may still use Pi's
-built-in in-attempt auto-compaction, but the active engine's `compact()` method
-still handles `/compact` and overflow recovery. There is no automatic fallback
-to the legacy engine's compaction path.
-
-If you are building a non-owning context engine, implement `compact()` by
-calling `delegateCompactionToRuntime(...)` from `openclaw/plugin-sdk/core`.
-
-## Tips
-

+summary: "The default SQLite-based memory backend with keyword, vector, and hybrid search"
+read_when:
+  - You want to understand the default memory backend
+  - You want to configure embedding providers or hybrid search
+---
+
+# Builtin Memory Engine
+
+The builtin engine is the default memory backend. It stores your memory index in
+a per-agent SQLite database and needs no extra dependencies to get started.
+
+## What it provides
+
+- **Keyword search** via FTS5 full-text indexing (BM25 scoring).
+- **Vector search** via embeddings from any supported provider.
+- **Hybrid search** that combines both for best results.
+- **CJK support** via trigram tokenization for Chinese, Japanese, and Korean.
+- **sqlite-vec acceleration** for in-database vector queries (optional).
+
+## Getting started
+
+If you have an API key for OpenAI, Gemini, Voyage, or Mistral, the builtin
+engine auto-detects it and enables vector search. No config needed.
+
+To set a provider explicitly:
+
+```json5
+{
+  agents: {
+    defaults: {
+      memorySearch: {
+        provider: "openai",
+      },
+    },
+  },
+}
+```
+
+Without an embedding provider, only keyword search is available.
+
+## Supported embedding providers
+
+| Provider | ID        | Auto-detected | Notes                               |
+| -------- | --------- | ------------- | ----------------------------------- |
+| OpenAI   | `openai`  | Yes           | Default: `text-embedding-3-small`   |
+| Gemini   | `gemini`  | Yes           | Supports multimodal (image + audio) |
+| Voyage   | `voyage`  | Yes           |                                     |
+| Mistral  | `mistral` | Yes           |                                     |
+| Ollama   | `ollama`  | No            | Local, set explicitly               |
+| Local    | `local`   | Yes (first)   | GGUF model, ~0.6 GB download        |
+
+Auto-detection picks the first provider whose API key can be resolved, in the
+order shown. Set `memorySearch.provider` to override.
+
+## How indexing works
+
+OpenClaw indexes `MEMORY.md` and `memory/*.md` into chunks (~400 tokens with
+80-token overlap) and stores them in a per-agent SQLite database.
+
+- **Index location:** `~/.openclaw/memory/<agentId>.sqlite`
+- **File watching:** changes to memory files trigger a debounced reindex (1.5s).
+- **Auto-reindex:** when the embedding provider, model, or chunking config
+  changes, the entire index is rebuilt automatically.
+- **Reindex on demand:** `openclaw memory index --force`
+
+<Info>
+You can also index Markdown files outside the workspace with
+`memorySearch.extraPaths`. See the
+[configuration reference](/reference/memory-config#additional-memory-paths).
+</Info>
+
+## When to use
+
+The builtin engine is the right choice for most users:
+
+- Works out of the box with no extra dependencies.
+- Handles keyword and vector search well.
+- Supports all embedding providers.
+- Hybrid search combines the best of both retrieval approaches.
+
+Consider switching to [QMD](/concepts/memory-qmd) if you need reranking, query
+expansion, or want to index directories outside the workspace.
+
+Consider [Honcho](/concepts/memory-honcho) if you want cross-session memory with
+automatic user modeling.
+
+## Troubleshooting
+
+**Memory search disabled?** Check `openclaw memory status`. If no provider is
+detected, set one explicitly or add an API key.
+
+**Stale results?** Run `openclaw memory index --force` to rebuild. The watcher
+may miss changes in rare edge cases.
+
+**sqlite-vec not loading?** OpenClaw falls back to in-process cosine similarity
+automatically. Check logs for the specific load error.
+
+## Configuration
+
+For embedding provider setup, hybrid search tuning (weights, MMR, temporal
+decay), batch indexing, multimodal memory, sqlite-vec, extra paths, and all
+other config knobs, see the
+[Memory configuration reference](/reference/memory-config).

+
+# Honcho Memory
+
+[Honcho](https://honcho.dev) adds AI-native memory to OpenClaw. It persists
+conversations to a dedicated service and builds user and agent models over time,
+giving your agent cross-session context that goes beyond workspace Markdown
+files.
+
+## What it provides
+
+- **Cross-session memory** -- conversations are persisted after every turn, so
+  context carries across session resets, compaction, and channel switches.
+- **User modeling** -- Honcho maintains a profile for each user (preferences,
+  facts, communication style) and for the agent (personality, learned
+  behaviors).
+- **Semantic search** -- search over observations from past conversations, not
+  just the current session.
+- **Multi-agent awareness** -- parent agents automatically track spawned
+  sub-agents, with parents added as observers in child sessions.
+
+## Available tools
+
+Honcho registers tools that the agent can use during conversation:
+
+**Data retrieval (fast, no LLM call):**
+
+| Tool                        | What it does                                           |
+| --------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------ |
+| `honcho_context`            | Full user representation across sessions               |
+| `honcho_search_conclusions` | Semantic search over stored conclusions                |
+| `honcho_search_messages`    | Find messages across sessions (filter by sender, date) |
+| `honcho_session`            | Current session history and summary                    |
+
+**Q&A (LLM-powered):**
+
+| Tool         | What it does                                                              |
+| ------------ | ------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
+| `honcho_ask` | Ask about the user. `depth='quick'` for facts, `'thorough'` for synthesis |
+
+## Getting started
+
+Install the plugin and run setup:
+
+```bash
+openclaw plugins install @honcho-ai/openclaw-honcho
+openclaw honcho setup
+openclaw gateway --force
+```
+
+The setup command prompts for your API credentials, writes the config, and
+optionally migrates existing workspace memory files.
+
+<Info>
+Honcho can run entirely locally (self-hosted) or via the managed API at
+`api.honcho.dev`. No external dependencies are required for the self-hosted
+option.
+</Info>
+
+## Configuration
+
+Settings live under `plugins.entries["openclaw-honcho"].config`:
+
+```json5
+{
+  plugins: {
+    entries: {
+      "openclaw-honcho": {
+        config: {
+          apiKey: "your-api-key", // omit for self-hosted
+          workspaceId: "openclaw", // memory isolation
+          baseUrl: "https://api.honcho.dev",
+        },
+      },
+    },
+  },
+}
+```
+
+For self-hosted instances, point `baseUrl` to your local server (for example
+`http://localhost:8000`) and omit the API key.
+
+## Migrating existing memory
+
+If you have existing workspace memory files (`USER.md`, `MEMORY.md`,
+`IDENTITY.md`, `memory/`, `canvas/`), `openclaw honcho setup` detects and
+offers to migrate them.
+
+<Info>
+Migration is non-destructive -- files are uploaded to Honcho. Originals are
+never deleted or moved.
+</Info>
+
+## How it works
+
+After every AI turn, the conversation is persisted to Honcho. Both user and
+agent messages are observed, allowing Honcho to build and refine its models over
+time.
+
+During conversation, Honcho tools query the service in the `before_prompt_build`
+phase, injecting relevant context before the model sees the prompt. This ensures
+accurate turn boundaries and relevant recall.
+
+## Honcho vs builtin memory
+
+|                   | Builtin / QMD                | Honcho                              |
+| ----------------- | ---------------------------- | ----------------------------------- |
+| **Storage**       | Workspace Markdown files     | Dedicated service (local or hosted) |
+| **Cross-session** | Via memory files             | Automatic, built-in                 |
+| **User modeling** | Manual (write to MEMORY.md)  | Automatic profiles                  |
+| **Search**        | Vector + keyword (hybrid)    | Semantic over observations          |
+| **Multi-agent**   | Not tracked                  | Parent/child awareness              |
+| **Dependencies**  | None (builtin) or QMD binary | Plugin install                      |
+
+Honcho and the builtin memory system can work together. When QMD is configured,
+additional tools become available for searching local Markdown files alongside
+Honcho's cross-session memory.
+
+## CLI commands
+
+```bash
+openclaw honcho setup                        # Configure API key and migrate files
+openclaw honcho status                       # Check connection status
+openclaw honcho ask <question>               # Query Honcho about the user
+openclaw honcho search <query> [-k N] [-d D] # Semantic search over memory

+---
+
+# QMD Memory Engine
+
+[QMD](https://github.com/tobi/qmd) is a local-first search sidecar that runs
+alongside OpenClaw. It combines BM25, vector search, and reranking in a single
+binary, and can index content beyond your workspace memory files.
+
+## What it adds over builtin
+
+- **Reranking and query expansion** for better recall.
+- **Index extra directories** -- project docs, team notes, anything on disk.
+- **Index session transcripts** -- recall earlier conversations.
+- **Fully local** -- runs via Bun + node-llama-cpp, auto-downloads GGUF models.
+- **Automatic fallback** -- if QMD is unavailable, OpenClaw falls back to the
+  builtin engine seamlessly.
+
+## Getting started
+
+### Prerequisites
+
+- Install QMD: `bun install -g https://github.com/tobi/qmd`
+- SQLite build that allows extensions (`brew install sqlite` on macOS).
+- QMD must be on the gateway's `PATH`.
+- macOS and Linux work out of the box. Windows is best supported via WSL2.
+
+### Enable
+
+```json5
+{
+  memory: {
+    backend: "qmd",
+  },
+}
+```
+
+OpenClaw creates a self-contained QMD home under
+`~/.openclaw/agents/<agentId>/qmd/` and manages the sidecar lifecycle
+automatically -- collections, updates, and embedding runs are handled for you.
+
+## How the sidecar works
+
+- OpenClaw creates collections from your workspace memory files and any
+  configured `memory.qmd.paths`, then runs `qmd update` + `qmd embed` on boot
+  and periodically (default every 5 minutes).
+- Boot refresh runs in the background so chat startup is not blocked.
+- Searches use the configured `searchMode` (default: `search`; also supports
+  `vsearch` and `query`). If a mode fails, OpenClaw retries with `qmd query`.
+- If QMD fails entirely, OpenClaw falls back to the builtin SQLite engine.
+
+<Info>
+The first search may be slow -- QMD auto-downloads GGUF models (~2 GB) for
+reranking and query expansion on the first `qmd query` run.
+</Info>
+
+## Indexing extra paths
+
+Point QMD at additional directories to make them searchable:
+
+```json5
+{
+  memory: {
+    backend: "qmd",
+    qmd: {
+      paths: [{ name: "docs", path: "~/notes", pattern: "**/*.md" }],
+    },
+  },
+}
+```
+
+Snippets from extra paths appear as `qmd/<collection>/<relative-path>` in
+search results. `memory_get` understands this prefix and reads from the correct
+collection root.
+
+## Indexing session transcripts
+
+Enable session indexing to recall earlier conversations:
+
+```json5
+{
+  memory: {
+    backend: "qmd",
+    qmd: {
+      sessions: { enabled: true },
+    },
+  },
+}
+```
+
+Transcripts are exported as sanitized User/Assistant turns into a dedicated QMD
+collection under `~/.openclaw/agents/<id>/qmd/sessions/`.
+
+## Search scope
+
+By default, QMD search results are only surfaced in DM sessions (not groups or
+channels). Configure `memory.qmd.scope` to change this:
+
+```json5
+{
+  memory: {
+    qmd: {
+      scope: {
+        default: "deny",
+        rules: [{ action: "allow", match: { chatType: "direct" } }],
+      },
+    },
+  },
+}
+```
+
+When scope denies a search, OpenClaw logs a warning with the derived channel and
+chat type so empty results are easier to debug.
+
+## Citations
+
+When `memory.citations` is `auto` or `on`, search snippets include a
+`Source: <path#line>` footer. Set `memory.citations = "off"` to omit the footer
+while still passing the path to the agent internally.
+
+## When to use
+
+Choose QMD when you need:
+
+- Reranking for higher-quality results.
+- To search project docs or notes outside the workspace.
+- To recall past session conversations.
+- Fully local search with no API keys.
+
+For simpler setups, the [builtin engine](/concepts/memory-builtin) works well
+with no extra dependencies.
+
+## Troubleshooting
+
+**QMD not found?** Ensure the binary is on the gateway's `PATH`. If OpenClaw
+runs as a service, create a symlink:
+`sudo ln -s ~/.bun/bin/qmd /usr/local/bin/qmd`.
+
+**First search very slow?** QMD downloads GGUF models on first use. Pre-warm
+with `qmd query "test"` using the same XDG dirs OpenClaw uses.
+
+**Search times out?** Increase `memory.qmd.limits.timeoutMs` (default: 4000ms).
+Set to `120000` for slower hardware.
+
+**Empty results in group chats?** Check `memory.qmd.scope` -- the default only
+allows DM sessions.
+
+## Configuration
+
+For the full config surface (`memory.qmd.*`), search modes, update intervals,
+scope rules, and all other knobs, see the
+[Memory configuration reference](/reference/memory-config).

+
+# Memory Search
+
+`memory_search` finds relevant notes from your memory files, even when the
+wording differs from the original text. It works by indexing memory into small
+chunks and searching them using embeddings, keywords, or both.
+
+## Quick start
+
+If you have an OpenAI, Gemini, Voyage, or Mistral API key configured, memory
+search works automatically. To set a provider explicitly:
+
+```json5
+{
+  agents: {
+    defaults: {
+      memorySearch: {
+        provider: "openai", // or "gemini", "local", "ollama", etc.
+      },
+    },
+  },
+}
+```
+
+For local embeddings with no API key, use `provider: "local"` (requires
+node-llama-cpp).
+
+## Supported providers
+
+| Provider | ID        | Needs API key | Notes                         |
+| -------- | --------- | ------------- | ----------------------------- |
+| OpenAI   | `openai`  | Yes           | Auto-detected, fast           |
+| Gemini   | `gemini`  | Yes           | Supports image/audio indexing |
+| Voyage   | `voyage`  | Yes           | Auto-detected                 |
+| Mistral  | `mistral` | Yes           | Auto-detected                 |
+| Ollama   | `ollama`  | No            | Local, must set explicitly    |
+| Local    | `local`   | No            | GGUF model, ~0.6 GB download  |
+
+## How search works
+
+OpenClaw runs two retrieval paths in parallel and merges the results:
+
+```mermaid
+flowchart LR
+    Q["Query"] --> E["Embedding"]
+    Q --> T["Tokenize"]
+    E --> VS["Vector Search"]
+    T --> BM["BM25 Search"]
+    VS --> M["Weighted Merge"]
+    BM --> M
+    M --> R["Top Results"]
+```
+
+- **Vector search** finds notes with similar meaning ("gateway host" matches
+  "the machine running OpenClaw").
+- **BM25 keyword search** finds exact matches (IDs, error strings, config
+  keys).
+
+If only one path is available (no embeddings or no FTS), the other runs alone.
+
+## Improving search quality
+
+Two optional features help when you have a large note history:
+
+### Temporal decay
+
+Old notes gradually lose ranking weight so recent information surfaces first.
+With the default half-life of 30 days, a note from last month scores at 50% of
+its original weight. Evergreen files like `MEMORY.md` are never decayed.
+
+<Tip>
+Enable temporal decay if your agent has months of daily notes and stale
+information keeps outranking recent context.
+</Tip>
+
+### MMR (diversity)
+
+Reduces redundant results. If five notes all mention the same router config, MMR
+ensures the top results cover different topics instead of repeating.
+
+<Tip>
+Enable MMR if `memory_search` keeps returning near-duplicate snippets from
+different daily notes.
+</Tip>
+
+### Enable both
+
+```json5
+{
+  agents: {
+    defaults: {
+      memorySearch: {
+        query: {
+          hybrid: {
+            mmr: { enabled: true },
+            temporalDecay: { enabled: true },
+          },
+        },
+      },
+    },
+  },
+}
+```
+
+## Multimodal memory
+
+With Gemini Embedding 2, you can index images and audio files alongside
+Markdown. Search queries remain text, but they match against visual and audio
+content. See the [Memory configuration reference](/reference/memory-config) for
+setup.
+
+## Session memory search
+
+You can optionally index session transcripts so `memory_search` can recall
+earlier conversations. This is opt-in via
+`memorySearch.experimental.sessionMemory`. See the
+[configuration reference](/reference/memory-config) for details.
+
+## Troubleshooting
+
+**No results?** Run `openclaw memory status` to check the index. If empty, run
+`openclaw memory index --force`.
+
+**Only keyword matches?** Your embedding provider may not be configured. Check
+`openclaw memory status --deep`.
+
+**CJK text not found?** Rebuild the FTS index with
+`openclaw memory index --force`.

-# Memory
+# Memory Overview
 
-OpenClaw memory is **plain Markdown in the agent workspace**. The files are the
-source of truth; the model only "remembers" what gets written to disk.
+OpenClaw remembers things by writing **plain Markdown files** in your agent's
+workspace. The model only "remembers" what gets saved to disk -- there is no
+hidden state.
 
-Memory search tools are provided by the active memory plugin (default:
-`memory-core`). Disable memory plugins with `plugins.slots.memory = "none"`.
+## How it works
 
-## Memory files (Markdown)
+Your agent has two places to store memories:
 
-The default workspace layout uses two memory layers:
+- **`MEMORY.md`** -- long-term memory. Durable facts, preferences, and
+  decisions. Loaded at the start of every DM session.
+- **`memory/YYYY-MM-DD.md`** -- daily notes. Running context and observations.
+  Today and yesterday's notes are loaded automatically.
 
-- `memory/YYYY-MM-DD.md`
-  - Daily log (append-only).
-  - Read today + yesterday at session start.
-- `MEMORY.md` (optional)
-  - Curated long-term memory.
-  - If both `MEMORY.md` and `memory.md` exist at the workspace root, OpenClaw loads both (deduplicated by realpath so symlinks pointing to the same file are not injected twice).
-  - **Only load in the main, private session** (never in group contexts).
+These files live in the agent workspace (default `~/.openclaw/workspace`).
 
-These files live under the workspace (`agents.defaults.workspace`, default
-`~/.openclaw/workspace`). See [Agent workspace](/concepts/agent-workspace) for the full layout.
+<Tip>
+If you want your agent to remember something, just ask it: "Remember that I
+prefer TypeScript." It will write it to the appropriate file.
+</Tip>
 
 ## Memory tools
 
-OpenClaw exposes two agent-facing tools for these Markdown files:
+The agent has two tools for working with memory:
 
-- `memory_search` -- semantic recall over indexed snippets.
-- `memory_get` -- targeted read of a specific Markdown file/line range.
+- **`memory_search`** -- finds relevant notes using semantic search, even when
+  the wording differs from the original.
+- **`memory_get`** -- reads a specific memory file or line range.
 
-`memory_get` now **degrades gracefully when a file doesn't exist** (for example,
-today's daily log before the first write). Both the builtin manager and the QMD
-backend return `{ text: "", path }` instead of throwing `ENOENT`, so agents can
-handle "nothing recorded yet" and continue their workflow without wrapping the
-tool call in try/catch logic.
+Both tools are provided by the active memory plugin (default: `memory-core`).
 
-## When to write memory
+## Memory search
 
-- Decisions, preferences, and durable facts go to `MEMORY.md`.
-- Day-to-day notes and running context go to `memory/YYYY-MM-DD.md`.
-- If someone says "remember this," write it down (do not keep it in RAM).
-- This area is still evolving. It helps to remind the model to store memories; it will know what to do.
-- If you want something to stick, **ask the bot to write it** into memory.
+When an embedding provider is configured, `memory_search` uses **hybrid
+search** -- combining vector similarity (semantic meaning) with keyword matching
+(exact terms like IDs and code symbols). This works out of the box once you have
+an API key for any supported provider.
 
-## Automatic memory flush (pre-compaction ping)
+<Info>
+OpenClaw auto-detects your embedding provider from available API keys. If you
+have an OpenAI, Gemini, Voyage, or Mistral key configured, memory search is
+enabled automatically.
+</Info>
 
-When a session is **close to auto-compaction**, OpenClaw triggers a **silent,
-agentic turn** that reminds the model to write durable memory **before** the
-context is compacted. The default prompts explicitly say the model _may reply_,
-but usually `NO_REPLY` is the correct response so the user never sees this turn.
-The active memory plugin owns the prompt/path policy for that flush; the
-default `memory-core` plugin writes to the canonical daily file under
-`memory/YYYY-MM-DD.md`.
+For details on how search works, tuning options, and provider setup, see
+[Memory Search](/concepts/memory-search).
 
-This is controlled by `agents.defaults.compaction.memoryFlush`:
+## Memory backends
 
-```json5
-{
-  agents: {

+## Automatic memory flush
+
+Before [compaction](/concepts/compaction) summarizes your conversation, OpenClaw
+runs a silent turn that reminds the agent to save important context to memory
+files. This is on by default -- you do not need to configure anything.
+
+<Tip>
+The memory flush prevents context loss during compaction. If your agent has
+important facts in the conversation that are not yet written to a file, they
+will be saved automatically before the summary happens.
+</Tip>
+
+## CLI
+
+```bash
+openclaw memory status          # Check index status and provider
+openclaw memory search "query"  # Search from the command line
+openclaw memory index --force   # Rebuild the index
 ```

-- **Soft threshold**: flush triggers when the session token estimate crosses
-  `contextWindow - reserveTokensFloor - softThresholdTokens`.
-- **Silent** by default: prompts include `NO_REPLY` so nothing is delivered.
-- **Two prompts**: a user prompt plus a system prompt append the reminder.
-- **One flush per compaction cycle** (tracked in `sessions.json`).
-- **Workspace must be writable**: if the session runs sandboxed with
-  `workspaceAccess: "ro"` or `"none"`, the flush is skipped.

-For the full compaction lifecycle, see
-[Session management + compaction](/reference/session-management-compaction).
-
-## Vector memory search
-
-OpenClaw can build a small vector index over `MEMORY.md` and `memory/*.md` so
-semantic queries can find related notes even when wording differs. Hybrid search
-(BM25 + vector) is available for combining semantic matching with exact keyword
-lookups.
-
-Memory search supports multiple embedding providers (OpenAI, Gemini, Voyage,
-Mistral, Ollama, and local GGUF models), an optional QMD sidecar backend for
-advanced retrieval, and post-processing features like MMR diversity re-ranking
-and temporal decay.

 # Session Pruning
 
-Session pruning trims **old tool results** from the in-memory context right before each LLM call. It does **not** rewrite the on-disk session history (`*.jsonl`).
+Session pruning trims **old tool results** from the context before each LLM
+call. It reduces context bloat from accumulated tool outputs (exec results, file
+reads, search results) without touching your conversation messages.
 
-## When it runs
+<Info>
+Pruning is in-memory only -- it does not modify the on-disk session transcript.
+Your full history is always preserved.
+</Info>
 
-- When `mode: "cache-ttl"` is enabled and the last Anthropic call for the session is older than `ttl`.
-- Only affects the messages sent to the model for that request.
-- Only active for Anthropic API calls (and OpenRouter Anthropic models).
-- For best results, match `ttl` to your model `cacheRetention` policy (`short` = 5m, `long` = 1h).
-- After a prune, the TTL window resets so subsequent requests keep cache until `ttl` expires again.
+## Why it matters
 
-## Smart defaults (Anthropic)
+Long sessions accumulate tool output that inflates the context window. This
+increases cost and can force [compaction](/concepts/compaction) sooner than
+necessary.
 
-- **OAuth or setup-token** profiles: enable `cache-ttl` pruning and set heartbeat to `1h`.
-- **API key** profiles: enable `cache-ttl` pruning, set heartbeat to `30m`, and default `cacheRetention: "short"` on Anthropic models.
-- If you set any of these values explicitly, OpenClaw does **not** override them.
+Pruning is especially valuable for **Anthropic prompt caching**. After the cache
+TTL expires, the next request re-caches the full prompt. Pruning reduces the
+cache-write size, directly lowering cost.
 
-## What this improves (cost + cache behavior)
+## How it works
 
-- **Why prune:** Anthropic prompt caching only applies within the TTL. If a session goes idle past the TTL, the next request re-caches the full prompt unless you trim it first.
-- **What gets cheaper:** pruning reduces the **cacheWrite** size for that first request after the TTL expires.
-- **Why the TTL reset matters:** once pruning runs, the cache window resets, so follow‑up requests can reuse the freshly cached prompt instead of re-caching the full history again.
-- **What it does not do:** pruning doesn’t add tokens or “double” costs; it only changes what gets cached on that first post‑TTL request.
+1. Wait for the cache TTL to expire (default 5 minutes).
+2. Find old tool results (user and assistant messages are never touched).
+3. **Soft-trim** oversized results -- keep the head and tail, insert `...`.
+4. **Hard-clear** the rest -- replace with a placeholder.
+5. Reset the TTL so follow-up requests reuse the fresh cache.
 
-## What can be pruned
+## Smart defaults
 
-- Only `toolResult` messages.
-- User + assistant messages are **never** modified.
-- The last `keepLastAssistants` assistant messages are protected; tool results after that cutoff are not pruned.
-- If there aren’t enough assistant messages to establish the cutoff, pruning is skipped.
-- Tool results containing **image blocks** are skipped (never trimmed/cleared).
+OpenClaw auto-enables pruning for Anthropic profiles:
 
-## Context window estimation
+| Profile type         | Pruning enabled | Heartbeat |
+| -------------------- | --------------- | --------- |
+| OAuth or setup-token | Yes             | 1 hour    |
+| API key              | Yes             | 30 min    |
 
-Pruning uses an estimated context window (chars ≈ tokens × 4). The base window is resolved in this order:
+If you set explicit values, OpenClaw does not override them.
 
-1. `models.providers.*.models[].contextWindow` override.
-2. Model definition `contextWindow` (from the model registry).
-3. Default `200000` tokens.
+## Enable or disable
 
-If `agents.defaults.contextTokens` is set, it is treated as a cap (min) on the resolved window.
-
-## Mode
-
-### cache-ttl
-
-- Pruning only runs if the last Anthropic call is older than `ttl` (default `5m`).
-- When it runs: same soft-trim + hard-clear behavior as before.
-
-## Soft vs hard pruning
-
-- **Soft-trim**: only for oversized tool results.
-  - Keeps head + tail, inserts `...`, and appends a note with the original size.
-  - Skips results with image blocks.
-- **Hard-clear**: replaces the entire tool result with `hardClear.placeholder`.
-
-## Tool selection
-
-- `tools.allow` / `tools.deny` support `*` wildcards.
-- Deny wins.
-- Matching is case-insensitive.
-- Empty allow list => all tools allowed.
-
-## Interaction with other limits
-
-- Built-in tools already truncate their own output; session pruning is an extra layer that prevents long-running chats from accumulating too much tool output in the model context.
-- Compaction is separate: compaction summarizes and persists, pruning is transient per request. See [/concepts/compaction](/concepts/compaction).
-
-## Defaults (when enabled)
-
-- `ttl`: `"5m"`
-- `keepLastAssistants`: `3`
-- `softTrimRatio`: `0.3`
-- `hardClearRatio`: `0.5`
-- `minPrunableToolChars`: `50000`
-- `softTrim`: `{ maxChars: 4000, headChars: 1500, tailChars: 1500 }`
-- `hardClear`: `{ enabled: true, placeholder: "[Old tool result content cleared]" }`

-## Examples
-
-Default (off):
-
-```json5
-{
-  agents: { defaults: { contextPruning: { mode: "off" } } },
-}
-```
-
-Enable TTL-aware pruning:
-
-```json5
-{
-  agents: { defaults: { contextPruning: { mode: "cache-ttl", ttl: "5m" } } },
-}
-```
-
-Restrict pruning to specific tools:
+Pruning is off by default for non-Anthropic providers. To enable:
 
 ```json5
 {
   agents: {
     defaults: {
-      contextPruning: {
-        mode: "cache-ttl",
-        tools: { allow: ["exec", "read"], deny: ["*image*"] },
-      },
+      contextPruning: { mode: "cache-ttl", ttl: "5m" },
     },
   },
 }
 ```
 
-See config reference: [Gateway Configuration](/gateway/configuration)
+To disable: set `mode: "off"`.
+
+## Pruning vs compaction
+
+|            | Pruning            | Compaction              |
+| ---------- | ------------------ | ----------------------- |
+| **What**   | Trims tool results | Summarizes conversation |
+| **Saved?** | No (per-request)   | Yes (in transcript)     |
+| **Scope**  | Tool results only  | Entire conversation     |
+
+They complement each other -- pruning keeps tool output lean between
+compaction cycles.

 # Session Tools
 
-Goal: small, hard-to-misuse tool set so agents can list sessions, fetch history, and send to another session.
+OpenClaw gives agents tools to work across sessions -- listing conversations,
+reading history, sending messages to other sessions, and spawning sub-agents.
 
-## Tool Names
+## Available tools
 
-- `sessions_list`
-- `sessions_history`
-- `sessions_send`
-- `sessions_spawn`
+| Tool               | What it does                                            |
+| ------------------ | ------------------------------------------------------- |
+| `sessions_list`    | List sessions with optional filters (kind, recency)     |
+| `sessions_history` | Read the transcript of a specific session               |
+| `sessions_send`    | Send a message to another session and optionally wait   |
+| `sessions_spawn`   | Spawn an isolated sub-agent session for background work |
 
-## Key Model
+## Listing and reading sessions
 
-- Main direct chat bucket is always the literal key `"main"` (resolved to the current agent’s main key).
-- Group chats use `agent:<agentId>:<channel>:group:<id>` or `agent:<agentId>:<channel>:channel:<id>` (pass the full key).
-- Cron jobs use `cron:<job.id>`.
-- Hooks use `hook:<uuid>` unless explicitly set.
-- Node sessions use `node-<nodeId>` unless explicitly set.
+`sessions_list` returns sessions with their key, kind, channel, model, token
+counts, and timestamps. Filter by kind (`main`, `group`, `cron`, `hook`,
+`node`) or recency (`activeMinutes`).
 
-`global` and `unknown` are reserved values and are never listed. If `session.scope = "global"`, we alias it to `main` for all tools so callers never see `global`.
+`sessions_history` fetches the conversation transcript for a specific session.
+By default, tool results are excluded -- pass `includeTools: true` to see them.
 
-## sessions_list
+Both tools accept either a **session key** (like `"main"`) or a **session ID**
+from a previous list call.
 
-List sessions as an array of rows.
+## Sending cross-session messages
 
-Parameters:
+`sessions_send` delivers a message to another session and optionally waits for
+the response:
 
-- `kinds?: string[]` filter: any of `"main" | "group" | "cron" | "hook" | "node" | "other"`
-- `limit?: number` max rows (default: server default, clamp e.g. 200)
-- `activeMinutes?: number` only sessions updated within N minutes
-- `messageLimit?: number` 0 = no messages (default 0); >0 = include last N messages
+- **Fire-and-forget:** set `timeoutSeconds: 0` to enqueue and return
+  immediately.
+- **Wait for reply:** set a timeout and get the response inline.
 
-Behavior:
+After the target responds, OpenClaw can run a **reply-back loop** where the
+agents alternate messages (up to 5 turns). The target agent can reply
+`REPLY_SKIP` to stop early.
 
-- `messageLimit > 0` fetches `chat.history` per session and includes the last N messages.
-- Tool results are filtered out in list output; use `sessions_history` for tool messages.
-- When running in a **sandboxed** agent session, session tools default to **spawned-only visibility** (see below).
+## Spawning sub-agents
 
-Row shape (JSON):
+`sessions_spawn` creates an isolated session for a background task. It is always
+non-blocking -- it returns immediately with a `runId` and `childSessionKey`.
 
-- `key`: session key (string)
-- `kind`: `main | group | cron | hook | node | other`
-- `channel`: `whatsapp | telegram | discord | signal | imessage | webchat | internal | unknown`
-- `displayName` (group display label if available)
-- `updatedAt` (ms)
-- `sessionId`
-- `model`, `contextTokens`, `totalTokens`
-- `thinkingLevel`, `verboseLevel`, `systemSent`, `abortedLastRun`
-- `sendPolicy` (session override if set)
-- `lastChannel`, `lastTo`
-- `deliveryContext` (normalized `{ channel, to, accountId }` when available)
-- `transcriptPath` (best-effort path derived from store dir + sessionId)
-- `messages?` (only when `messageLimit > 0`)
+Key options:
 
-## sessions_history
+- `runtime: "subagent"` (default) or `"acp"` for external harness agents.
+- `model` and `thinking` overrides for the child session.
+- `thread: true` to bind the spawn to a chat thread (Discord, Slack, etc.).
+- `sandbox: "require"` to enforce sandboxing on the child.
 
-Fetch transcript for one session.
+Sub-agents get the full tool set minus session tools (no recursive spawning).
+After completion, an announce step posts the result to the requester's channel.
 
-Parameters:
+For ACP-specific behavior, see [ACP Agents](/tools/acp-agents).
 
-- `sessionKey` (required; accepts session key or `sessionId` from `sessions_list`)
-- `limit?: number` max messages (server clamps)
-- `includeTools?: boolean` (default false)
+## Visibility
 
-Behavior:
+Session tools are scoped to limit what the agent can see:
 
-- `includeTools=false` filters `role: "toolResult"` messages.
-- Returns messages array in the raw transcript format.
-- When given a `sessionId`, OpenClaw resolves it to the corresponding session key (missing ids error).
+| Level   | Scope                                    |

-## Gateway session history and live transcript APIs
+Default is `tree`. Sandboxed sessions are clamped to `tree` regardless of
+config.
 
-Control UI and gateway clients can use the lower level history and live transcript surfaces directly.

-HTTP:
-
-- `GET /sessions/{sessionKey}/history`
-- Query params: `limit`, `cursor`, `includeTools=1`, `follow=1`
-- Unknown sessions return HTTP `404` with `error.type = "not_found"`
-- `follow=1` upgrades the response to an SSE stream of transcript updates for that session
-
-WebSocket:
-
-- `sessions.subscribe` subscribes to all session lifecycle and transcript events visible to the client
-- `sessions.messages.subscribe { key }` subscribes only to `session.message` events for one session
-- `sessions.messages.unsubscribe { key }` removes that targeted transcript subscription
-- `session.message` carries appended transcript messages plus live usage metadata when available
-- `sessions.changed` emits `phase: "message"` for transcript appends so session lists can refresh counters and previews
-
-## sessions_send
-
-Send a message into another session.
-
-Parameters:
-
-- `sessionKey` (required; accepts session key or `sessionId` from `sessions_list`)
-- `message` (required)
-- `timeoutSeconds?: number` (default >0; 0 = fire-and-forget)
-
-Behavior:
-
-- `timeoutSeconds = 0`: enqueue and return `{ runId, status: "accepted" }`.
-- `timeoutSeconds > 0`: wait up to N seconds for completion, then return `{ runId, status: "ok", reply }`.
-- If wait times out: `{ runId, status: "timeout", error }`. Run continues; call `sessions_history` later.
-- If the run fails: `{ runId, status: "error", error }`.
-- Announce delivery runs after the primary run completes and is best-effort; `status: "ok"` does not guarantee the announce was delivered.
-- Waits via gateway `agent.wait` (server-side) so reconnects don't drop the wait.
-- Agent-to-agent message context is injected for the primary run.
-- Inter-session messages are persisted with `message.provenance.kind = "inter_session"` so transcript readers can distinguish routed agent instructions from external user input.
-- After the primary run completes, OpenClaw runs a **reply-back loop**:
-  - Round 2+ alternates between requester and target agents.
-  - Reply exactly `REPLY_SKIP` to stop the ping‑pong.
-  - Max turns is `session.agentToAgent.maxPingPongTurns` (0–5, default 5).
-- Once the loop ends, OpenClaw runs the **agent‑to‑agent announce step** (target agent only):
-  - Reply exactly `ANNOUNCE_SKIP` to stay silent.
-  - Any other reply is sent to the target channel.
-  - Announce step includes the original request + round‑1 reply + latest ping‑pong reply.
-
-## Channel Field
-
-- For groups, `channel` is the channel recorded on the session entry.
-- For direct chats, `channel` maps from `lastChannel`.
-- For cron/hook/node, `channel` is `internal`.
-- If missing, `channel` is `unknown`.
-
-## Security / Send Policy
-
-Policy-based blocking by channel/chat type (not per session id).
-
-```json
-{
-  "session": {
-    "sendPolicy": {
-      "rules": [
-        {
-          "match": { "channel": "discord", "chatType": "group" },
-          "action": "deny"
-        }
-      ],
-      "default": "allow"
-    }
-  }
-}
-```
-
-Runtime override (per session entry):
-
-- `sendPolicy: "allow" | "deny"` (unset = inherit config)
-- Settable via `sessions.patch` or owner-only `/send on|off|inherit` (standalone message).
-
-Enforcement points:
-
-- `chat.send` / `agent` (gateway)
-- auto-reply delivery logic
-
-## sessions_spawn
-
-Spawn an isolated delegated session.
-
-- Default runtime: OpenClaw sub-agent (`runtime: "subagent"`).
-- ACP harness sessions use `runtime: "acp"` and follow ACP-specific targeting/policy rules.
-- This section focuses on sub-agent behavior unless noted otherwise. For ACP-specific behavior, see [ACP Agents](/tools/acp-agents).
-
-Parameters:
-
-- `task` (required)
-- `runtime?` (`subagent|acp`; defaults to `subagent`)
-- `label?` (optional; used for logs/UI)
-- `agentId?` (optional)
-  - `runtime: "subagent"`: target another OpenClaw agent id if allowed by `subagents.allowAgents`
-  - `runtime: "acp"`: target an ACP harness id if allowed by `acp.allowedAgents`
-- `model?` (optional; overrides the sub-agent model; invalid values error)
-- `thinking?` (optional; overrides thinking level for the sub-agent run)
-- `runTimeoutSeconds?` (defaults to `agents.defaults.subagents.runTimeoutSeconds` when set, otherwise `0`; when set, aborts the sub-agent run after N seconds)
-- `thread?` (default false; request thread-bound routing for this spawn when supported by the channel/plugin)
-- `mode?` (`run|session`; defaults to `run`, but defaults to `session` when `thread=true`; `mode="session"` requires `thread=true`)
-- `cleanup?` (`delete|keep`, default `keep`)
-- `sandbox?` (`inherit|require`, default `inherit`; `require` rejects spawn unless the target child runtime is sandboxed)
-- `attachments?` (optional array of inline files; subagent runtime only, ACP rejects). Each entry: `{ name, content, encoding?: "utf8" | "base64", mimeType? }`. Files are materialized into the child workspace at `.openclaw/attachments/<uuid>/`. Returns a receipt with sha256 per file.
-- `attachAs?` (optional; `{ mountPath? }` hint reserved for future mount implementations)
-
-Allowlist:
-
-- `runtime: "subagent"`: `agents.list[].subagents.allowAgents` controls which OpenClaw agent ids are allowed via `agentId` (`["*"]` to allow any). Default: only the requester agent.
-- `runtime: "acp"`: `acp.allowedAgents` controls which ACP harness ids are allowed. This is a separate policy from `subagents.allowAgents`.
-- Sandbox inheritance guard: if the requester session is sandboxed, `sessions_spawn` rejects targets that would run unsandboxed.
-
-Discovery:
-
-- Use `agents_list` to discover allowed targets for `runtime: "subagent"`.
-- For `runtime: "acp"`, use configured ACP harness ids and `acp.allowedAgents`; `agents_list` does not list ACP harness targets.
-
-Behavior:
-
-- Starts a new `agent:<agentId>:subagent:<uuid>` session with `deliver: false`.
-- Sub-agents default to the full tool set **minus session tools** (configurable via `tools.subagents.tools`).
-- Sub-agents are not allowed to call `sessions_spawn` (no sub-agent → sub-agent spawning).
-- Always non-blocking: returns `{ status: "accepted", runId, childSessionKey }` immediately.
-- With `thread=true`, channel plugins can bind delivery/routing to a thread target (Discord support is controlled by `session.threadBindings.*` and `channels.discord.threadBindings.*`).
-- After completion, OpenClaw runs a sub-agent **announce step** and posts the result to the requester chat channel.
-  - If the assistant final reply is empty, the latest `toolResult` from sub-agent history is included as `Result`.
-- Reply exactly `ANNOUNCE_SKIP` during the announce step to stay silent.
-- Announce replies are normalized to `Status`/`Result`/`Notes`; `Status` comes from runtime outcome (not model text).
-- Sub-agent sessions are auto-archived after `agents.defaults.subagents.archiveAfterMinutes` (default: 60).
-- Announce replies include a stats line (runtime, tokens, sessionKey/sessionId, transcript path, and optional cost).
-
-## Sandbox Session Visibility
-
-Session tools can be scoped to reduce cross-session access.
-
-Default behavior:
-
-- `tools.sessions.visibility` defaults to `tree` (current session + spawned subagent sessions).
-- For sandboxed sessions, `agents.defaults.sandbox.sessionToolsVisibility` can hard-clamp visibility.
-
-Config:
-
-```json5
-{
-  tools: {
-    sessions: {
-      // "self" | "tree" | "agent" | "all"
-      // default: "tree"
-      visibility: "tree",
-    },
-  },
-  agents: {
-    defaults: {
-      sandbox: {
-        // default: "spawned"
-        sessionToolsVisibility: "spawned", // or "all"
-      },
-    },
-  },
-}
-```
-
-Notes:
-
-- `self`: only the current session key.
-- `tree`: current session + sessions spawned by the current session.
-- `agent`: any session belonging to the current agent id.
-- `all`: any session (cross-agent access still requires `tools.agentToAgent`).
-- When a session is sandboxed and `sessionToolsVisibility="spawned"`, OpenClaw clamps visibility to `tree` even if you set `tools.sessions.visibility="all"`.

 # Session Management
 
-OpenClaw treats **one direct-chat session per agent** as primary. Direct chats collapse to `agent:<agentId>:<mainKey>` (default `main`), while group/channel chats get their own keys. `session.mainKey` is honored.
+OpenClaw organizes conversations into **sessions**. Each message is routed to a
+session based on where it came from -- DMs, group chats, cron jobs, etc.
 
-Use `session.dmScope` to control how **direct messages** are grouped:
+## How messages are routed
 
-- `main` (default): all DMs share the main session for continuity.
-- `per-peer`: isolate by sender id across channels.
-- `per-channel-peer`: isolate by channel + sender (recommended for multi-user inboxes).
-- `per-account-channel-peer`: isolate by account + channel + sender (recommended for multi-account inboxes).
-  Use `session.identityLinks` to map provider-prefixed peer ids to a canonical identity so the same person shares a DM session across channels when using `per-peer`, `per-channel-peer`, or `per-account-channel-peer`.
+| Source          | Behavior                  |
+| --------------- | ------------------------- |
+| Direct messages | Shared session by default |
+| Group chats     | Isolated per group        |
+| Rooms/channels  | Isolated per room         |
+| Cron jobs       | Fresh session per run     |
+| Webhooks        | Isolated per hook         |
 
-## Secure DM mode (recommended for multi-user setups)
+## DM isolation
 
-> **Security Warning:** If your agent can receive DMs from **multiple people**, you should strongly consider enabling secure DM mode. Without it, all users share the same conversation context, which can leak private information between users.
+By default, all DMs share one session for continuity. This is fine for
+single-user setups.
 
-**Example of the problem with default settings:**
+<Warning>
+If multiple people can message your agent, enable DM isolation. Without it, all
+users share the same conversation context -- Alice's private messages would be
+visible to Bob.
+</Warning>
 
-- Alice (`<SENDER_A>`) messages your agent about a private topic (for example, a medical appointment)
-- Bob (`<SENDER_B>`) messages your agent asking "What were we talking about?"
-- Because both DMs share the same session, the model may answer Bob using Alice's prior context.
-
-**The fix:** Set `dmScope` to isolate sessions per user:
+**The fix:**
 
 ```json5
-// ~/.openclaw/openclaw.json
 {
   session: {
-    // Secure DM mode: isolate DM context per channel + sender.
-    dmScope: "per-channel-peer",
+    dmScope: "per-channel-peer", // isolate by channel + sender
   },
 }
 ```
 
-**When to enable this:**
+Other options:
 
-- You have pairing approvals for more than one sender
-- You use a DM allowlist with multiple entries
-- You set `dmPolicy: "open"`
-- Multiple phone numbers or accounts can message your agent
+- `main` (default) -- all DMs share one session.
+- `per-peer` -- isolate by sender (across channels).
+- `per-channel-peer` -- isolate by channel + sender (recommended).
+- `per-account-channel-peer` -- isolate by account + channel + sender.
 
-Notes:
+<Tip>
+If the same person contacts you from multiple channels, use
+`session.identityLinks` to link their identities so they share one session.
+</Tip>
 
-- Default is `dmScope: "main"` for continuity (all DMs share the main session). This is fine for single-user setups.
-- Local CLI onboarding writes `session.dmScope: "per-channel-peer"` by default when unset (existing explicit values are preserved).
-- For multi-account inboxes on the same channel, prefer `per-account-channel-peer`.
-- If the same person contacts you on multiple channels, use `session.identityLinks` to collapse their DM sessions into one canonical identity.
-- You can verify your DM settings with `openclaw security audit` (see [security](/cli/security)).
+Verify your setup with `openclaw security audit`.
 
-## Gateway is the source of truth
+## Session lifecycle
 
-All session state is **owned by the gateway** (the “master” OpenClaw). UI clients (macOS app, WebChat, etc.) must query the gateway for session lists and token counts instead of reading local files.
+Sessions are reused until they expire:
 
-- In **remote mode**, the session store you care about lives on the remote gateway host, not your Mac.
-- Token counts shown in UIs come from the gateway’s store fields (`inputTokens`, `outputTokens`, `totalTokens`, `contextTokens`). Clients do not parse JSONL transcripts to “fix up” totals.
+- **Daily reset** (default) -- new session at 4:00 AM local time on the gateway
+  host.
+- **Idle reset** (optional) -- new session after a period of inactivity. Set
+  `session.reset.idleMinutes`.
+- **Manual reset** -- type `/new` or `/reset` in chat. `/new <model>` also
+  switches the model.
+
+When both daily and idle resets are configured, whichever expires first wins.
 
 ## Where state lives
 
-- On the **gateway host**:
-  - Store file: `~/.openclaw/agents/<agentId>/sessions/sessions.json` (per agent).
-- Transcripts: `~/.openclaw/agents/<agentId>/sessions/<SessionId>.jsonl` (Telegram topic sessions use `.../<SessionId>-topic-<threadId>.jsonl`).
-- The store is a map `sessionKey -> { sessionId, updatedAt, ... }`. Deleting entries is safe; they are recreated on demand.
-- Group entries may include `displayName`, `channel`, `subject`, `room`, and `space` to label sessions in UIs.
-- Session entries include `origin` metadata (label + routing hints) so UIs can explain where a session came from.
-- OpenClaw does **not** read legacy Pi/Tau session folders.
+All session state is owned by the **gateway**. UI clients query the gateway for
+session data.
 
-## Maintenance
+- **Store:** `~/.openclaw/agents/<agentId>/sessions/sessions.json`
+- **Transcripts:** `~/.openclaw/agents/<agentId>/sessions/<sessionId>.jsonl`
 
-OpenClaw applies session-store maintenance to keep `sessions.json` and transcript artifacts bounded over time.
+## Session maintenance
 
-### Defaults
-
-- `session.maintenance.mode`: `warn`
-- `session.maintenance.pruneAfter`: `30d`
-- `session.maintenance.maxEntries`: `500`
-- `session.maintenance.rotateBytes`: `10mb`
-- `session.maintenance.resetArchiveRetention`: defaults to `pruneAfter` (`30d`)
-- `session.maintenance.maxDiskBytes`: unset (disabled)
-- `session.maintenance.highWaterBytes`: defaults to `80%` of `maxDiskBytes` when budgeting is enabled
-
-### How it works
-
-Maintenance runs during session-store writes, and you can trigger it on demand with `openclaw sessions cleanup`.
-
-- `mode: "warn"`: reports what would be evicted but does not mutate entries/transcripts.
-- `mode: "enforce"`: applies cleanup in this order:
-  1. prune stale entries older than `pruneAfter`
-  2. cap entry count to `maxEntries` (oldest first)
-  3. archive transcript files for removed entries that are no longer referenced
-  4. purge old `*.deleted.<timestamp>` and `*.reset.<timestamp>` archives by retention policy
-  5. rotate `sessions.json` when it exceeds `rotateBytes`
-  6. if `maxDiskBytes` is set, enforce disk budget toward `highWaterBytes` (oldest artifacts first, then oldest sessions)
-
-### Performance caveat for large stores
-
-Large session stores are common in high-volume setups. Maintenance work is write-path work, so very large stores can increase write latency.
-
-What increases cost most:
-
-- very high `session.maintenance.maxEntries` values
-- long `pruneAfter` windows that keep stale entries around
-- many transcript/archive artifacts in `~/.openclaw/agents/<agentId>/sessions/`
-- enabling disk budgets (`maxDiskBytes`) without reasonable pruning/cap limits
-
-What to do:
-
-- use `mode: "enforce"` in production so growth is bounded automatically
-- set both time and count limits (`pruneAfter` + `maxEntries`), not just one
-- set `maxDiskBytes` + `highWaterBytes` for hard upper bounds in large deployments
-- keep `highWaterBytes` meaningfully below `maxDiskBytes` (default is 80%)
-- run `openclaw sessions cleanup --dry-run --json` after config changes to verify projected impact before enforcing
-- for frequent active sessions, pass `--active-key` when running manual cleanup
-
-### Customize examples
-
-Use a conservative enforce policy:
+OpenClaw automatically bounds session storage over time. By default, it runs
+in `warn` mode (reports what would be cleaned). Set `session.maintenance.mode`
+to `"enforce"` for automatic cleanup:
 
 ```json5
 {
   session: {
     maintenance: {
       mode: "enforce",
-      pruneAfter: "45d",
-      maxEntries: 800,
-      rotateBytes: "20mb",
-      resetArchiveRetention: "14d",
+      pruneAfter: "30d",
+      maxEntries: 500,
     },
   },
 }
 ```
 
-Enable a hard disk budget for the sessions directory:
+Preview with `openclaw sessions cleanup --dry-run`.
 
-```json5
-{
-  session: {
-    maintenance: {
-      mode: "enforce",
-      maxDiskBytes: "1gb",
-      highWaterBytes: "800mb",
-    },
-  },
-}
-```
+## Inspecting sessions
 
-Tune for larger installs (example):
+- `openclaw status` -- session store path and recent activity.
+- `openclaw sessions --json` -- all sessions (filter with `--active <minutes>`).
+- `/status` in chat -- context usage, model, and toggles.
+- `/context list` -- what is in the system prompt.
 
-```json5
-{
-  session: {
-    maintenance: {
-      mode: "enforce",
-      pruneAfter: "14d",
-      maxEntries: 2000,
-      rotateBytes: "25mb",
-      maxDiskBytes: "2gb",
-      highWaterBytes: "1.6gb",
-    },
-  },
-}
-```
+## Further reading
 
-Preview or force maintenance from CLI:
-
-```bash
-openclaw sessions cleanup --dry-run
-openclaw sessions cleanup --enforce
-```
-
-## Session pruning
-
-OpenClaw trims **old tool results** from the in-memory context right before LLM calls by default.
-This does **not** rewrite JSONL history. See [/concepts/session-pruning](/concepts/session-pruning).
-
-## Pre-compaction memory flush
-
-When a session nears auto-compaction, OpenClaw can run a **silent memory flush**
-turn that reminds the model to write durable notes to disk. This only runs when
-the workspace is writable. See [Memory](/concepts/memory) and
-[Compaction](/concepts/compaction).
-
-## Mapping transports → session keys
-
-- Direct chats follow `session.dmScope` (default `main`).
-  - `main`: `agent:<agentId>:<mainKey>` (continuity across devices/channels).
-    - Multiple phone numbers and channels can map to the same agent main key; they act as transports into one conversation.
-  - `per-peer`: `agent:<agentId>:direct:<peerId>`.
-  - `per-channel-peer`: `agent:<agentId>:<channel>:direct:<peerId>`.
-  - `per-account-channel-peer`: `agent:<agentId>:<channel>:<accountId>:direct:<peerId>` (accountId defaults to `default`).
-  - If `session.identityLinks` matches a provider-prefixed peer id (for example `telegram:123`), the canonical key replaces `<peerId>` so the same person shares a session across channels.
-- Group chats isolate state: `agent:<agentId>:<channel>:group:<id>` (rooms/channels use `agent:<agentId>:<channel>:channel:<id>`).
-  - Telegram forum topics append `:topic:<threadId>` to the group id for isolation.
-  - Legacy `group:<id>` keys are still recognized for migration.
-- Inbound contexts may still use `group:<id>`; the channel is inferred from `Provider` and normalized to the canonical `agent:<agentId>:<channel>:group:<id>` form.
-- Other sources:
-  - Cron jobs: `cron:<job.id>` (isolated) or custom `session:<custom-id>` (persistent)
-  - Webhooks: `hook:<uuid>` (unless explicitly set by the hook)
-  - Node runs: `node-<nodeId>`
-
-## Lifecycle
-
-- Reset policy: sessions are reused until they expire, and expiry is evaluated on the next inbound message.
-- Daily reset: defaults to **4:00 AM local time on the gateway host**. A session is stale once its last update is earlier than the most recent daily reset time.
-- Idle reset (optional): `idleMinutes` adds a sliding idle window. When both daily and idle resets are configured, **whichever expires first** forces a new session.
-- Legacy idle-only: if you set `session.idleMinutes` without any `session.reset`/`resetByType` config, OpenClaw stays in idle-only mode for backward compatibility.
-- Per-type overrides (optional): `resetByType` lets you override the policy for `direct`, `group`, and `thread` sessions (thread = Slack/Discord threads, Telegram topics, Matrix threads when provided by the connector).
-- Per-channel overrides (optional): `resetByChannel` overrides the reset policy for a channel (applies to all session types for that channel and takes precedence over `reset`/`resetByType`).
-- Reset triggers: exact `/new` or `/reset` (plus any extras in `resetTriggers`) start a fresh session id and pass the remainder of the message through. `/new <model>` accepts a model alias, `provider/model`, or provider name (fuzzy match) to set the new session model. If `/new` or `/reset` is sent alone, OpenClaw runs a short “hello” greeting turn to confirm the reset.
-- Manual reset: delete specific keys from the store or remove the JSONL transcript; the next message recreates them.
-- Isolated cron jobs always mint a fresh `sessionId` per run (no idle reuse).
-
-## Send policy (optional)
-
-Block delivery for specific session types without listing individual ids.
-
-```json5
-{
-  session: {
-    sendPolicy: {
-      rules: [
-        { action: "deny", match: { channel: "discord", chatType: "group" } },
-        { action: "deny", match: { keyPrefix: "cron:" } },
-        // Match the raw session key (including the `agent:<id>:` prefix).
-        { action: "deny", match: { rawKeyPrefix: "agent:main:discord:" } },
-      ],
-      default: "allow",
-    },
-  },
-}
-```
-
-Runtime override (owner only):
-
-- `/send on` → allow for this session
-- `/send off` → deny for this session
-- `/send inherit` → clear override and use config rules
-  Send these as standalone messages so they register.
-
-## Configuration (optional rename example)
-
-```json5
-// ~/.openclaw/openclaw.json
-{
-  session: {
-    scope: "per-sender", // keep group keys separate
-    dmScope: "main", // DM continuity (set per-channel-peer/per-account-channel-peer for shared inboxes)
-    identityLinks: {
-      alice: ["telegram:123456789", "discord:987654321012345678"],
-    },
-    reset: {
-      // Defaults: mode=daily, atHour=4 (gateway host local time).
-      // If you also set idleMinutes, whichever expires first wins.
-      mode: "daily",
-      atHour: 4,
-      idleMinutes: 120,
-    },
-    resetByType: {
-      thread: { mode: "daily", atHour: 4 },
-      direct: { mode: "idle", idleMinutes: 240 },
-      group: { mode: "idle", idleMinutes: 120 },
-    },
-    resetByChannel: {
-      discord: { mode: "idle", idleMinutes: 10080 },
-    },
-    resetTriggers: ["/new", "/reset"],
-    store: "~/.openclaw/agents/{agentId}/sessions/sessions.json",
-    mainKey: "main",
-  },
-}
-```
-
-## Inspecting
-
-- `openclaw status` — shows store path and recent sessions.
-- `openclaw sessions --json` — dumps every entry (filter with `--active <minutes>`).
-- `openclaw gateway call sessions.list --params '{}'` — fetch sessions from the running gateway (use `--url`/`--token` for remote gateway access).
-- Send `/status` as a standalone message in chat to see whether the agent is reachable, how much of the session context is used, current thinking/fast/verbose toggles, and when your WhatsApp web creds were last refreshed (helps spot relink needs).
-- Send `/context list` or `/context detail` to see what’s in the system prompt and injected workspace files (and the biggest context contributors).
-- Send `/stop` (or standalone abort phrases like `stop`, `stop action`, `stop run`, `stop openclaw`) to abort the current run, clear queued followups for that session, and stop any sub-agent runs spawned from it (the reply includes the stopped count).
-- Send `/compact` (optional instructions) as a standalone message to summarize older context and free up window space. See [/concepts/compaction](/concepts/compaction).
-- JSONL transcripts can be opened directly to review full turns.
-
-## Tips
-
-- Keep the primary key dedicated to 1:1 traffic; let groups keep their own keys.
-- When automating cleanup, delete individual keys instead of the whole store to preserve context elsewhere.
-
-## Session origin metadata
-
-Each session entry records where it came from (best-effort) in `origin`:
-
-- `label`: human label (resolved from conversation label + group subject/channel)
-- `provider`: normalized channel id (including extensions)
-- `from`/`to`: raw routing ids from the inbound envelope
-- `accountId`: provider account id (when multi-account)
-- `threadId`: thread/topic id when the channel supports it
-  The origin fields are populated for direct messages, channels, and groups. If a
-  connector only updates delivery routing (for example, to keep a DM main session
-  fresh), it should still provide inbound context so the session keeps its
-  explainer metadata. Extensions can do this by sending `ConversationLabel`,
-  `GroupSubject`, `GroupChannel`, `GroupSpace`, and `SenderName` in the inbound
-  context and calling `recordSessionMetaFromInbound` (or passing the same context
-  to `updateLastRoute`).

+- `agent` requests can include `deliver=true` to request outbound delivery.
+- `bestEffortDeliver=false` keeps strict behavior: unresolved or internal-only delivery targets return `INVALID_REQUEST`.
+- `bestEffortDeliver=true` allows fallback to session-only execution when no external deliverable route can be resolved (for example internal/webchat sessions or ambiguous multi-channel configs).

+## MCP server environment variables

+MCP server env vars configured via `plugins.entries.acpx.config.mcpServers` support SecretInput. This keeps API keys and tokens out of plaintext config:

+  plugins: {
+    entries: {
+      acpx: {
+        enabled: true,
+        config: {

+Plaintext string values still work. Env-template refs like `${MCP_SERVER_API_KEY}` and SecretRef objects are resolved during gateway activation before the MCP server process is spawned. As with other SecretRef surfaces, unresolved refs only block activation when the `acpx` plugin is effectively active.
