-## Start issue and PR triage with ghcrawl
-
-- Anytime you inspect OpenClaw issues or PRs, check local `ghcrawl` data first for related threads, duplicate attempts, and already-landed fixes.
-- Use `ghcrawl` for candidate discovery and clustering; use `gh`, `gh api`, and the current checkout to verify live state before commenting, labeling, closing, or landing.
-- If `ghcrawl` is missing, stale, lacks the target thread, or has no embeddings for neighbor/search commands, fall back to the GitHub search workflow below.
-- Do not run expensive/update commands such as `ghcrawl refresh`, `ghcrawl embed`, or `ghcrawl cluster` unless the user asked to update the local store or the stale data is blocking the decision.

-# OpenClaw Testing
-
-Use this skill when deciding what to test, debugging failures, rerunning CI,
-or validating a change without wasting hours.
-
-## Read First
-
-- `docs/reference/test.md` for local test commands.
-- `docs/ci.md` for CI scope, release checks, Docker chunks, and runner behavior.
-- Scoped `AGENTS.md` files before editing code under a subtree.
-
-## Default Rule
-
-Prove the touched surface first. Do not reflexively run the whole suite.
-
-1. Inspect the diff and classify the touched surface:
-   - source: `pnpm changed:lanes --json`, then `pnpm check:changed`
-   - tests only: `pnpm test:changed`
-   - one failing file: `pnpm test <path-or-filter> -- --reporter=verbose`
-   - workflow-only: `git diff --check`, workflow syntax/lint (`actionlint` when available)
-   - docs-only: `pnpm docs:list`, docs formatter/lint only if docs tooling changed or requested
-2. Reproduce narrowly before fixing.
-3. Fix root cause.
-4. Rerun the same narrow proof.
-5. Broaden only when the touched contract demands it.
-
-## Guardrails
-
-- Do not kill unrelated processes or tests. If something is running elsewhere, treat it as owned by the user or another agent.
-- Do not run expensive local Docker, full release checks, full `pnpm test`, or full `pnpm check` unless the user asks or the change genuinely requires it.
-- Prefer GitHub Actions for release/Docker proof when the workflow already has the prepared image and secrets.
-- Use `scripts/committer "<msg>" <paths...>` when committing; stage only your files.
-- If deps are missing, run `pnpm install`, retry once, then report the first actionable error.
-
-## Local Test Shortcuts
-
-```bash
-pnpm changed:lanes --json
-pnpm check:changed       # changed typecheck/lint/guards; no Vitest
-pnpm test:changed        # cheap smart changed Vitest targets
-OPENCLAW_TEST_CHANGED_BROAD=1 pnpm test:changed
-pnpm test <path-or-filter> -- --reporter=verbose
-OPENCLAW_VITEST_MAX_WORKERS=1 pnpm test <path-or-filter>
-```
-
-Use targeted file paths whenever possible. Avoid raw `vitest`; use the repo
-`pnpm test` wrapper so project routing, workers, and setup stay correct.
-
-## Command Semantics
-
-- `pnpm check` and `pnpm check:changed` do not run Vitest tests. They are for
-  typecheck, lint, and guard proof.
-- `pnpm test` and `pnpm test:changed` run Vitest tests.
-- `pnpm test:changed` is intentionally cheap by default: direct test edits,
-  sibling tests, explicit source mappings, and import-graph dependents.
-- `OPENCLAW_TEST_CHANGED_BROAD=1 pnpm test:changed` is the explicit broad
-  fallback for harness/config/package edits that genuinely need it.
-- Do not run extension sweeps just because core changed. If a core edit is for a
-  specific plugin bug, run that plugin's tests explicitly. If a public SDK or
-  contract change needs consumer proof, choose the smallest representative
-  plugin/contract tests first, then broaden only when the risk justifies it.
-- The test wrapper prints a short `[test] passed|failed|skipped ... in ...`
-  line. Vitest's own duration is still the per-shard detail.
-
-## Routing Model
-
-- `pnpm changed:lanes --json` answers "which check lanes does this diff touch?"
-  It is used by `pnpm check:changed` for typecheck/lint/guard selection.
-- `pnpm test:changed` answers "which Vitest targets are worth running now?" It
-  uses the same changed path list, but applies a cheaper test-target resolver.
-- Direct test edits run themselves. Source edits prefer explicit mappings,
-  sibling `*.test.ts`, then import-graph dependents. Shared harness/config/root
-  edits are skipped by default unless they have precise mapped tests.
-- Public SDK or contract edits do not automatically run every plugin test.
-  `check:changed` proves extension type contracts; the agent chooses the
-  smallest plugin/contract Vitest proof that matches the actual risk.
-- Use `OPENCLAW_TEST_CHANGED_BROAD=1 pnpm test:changed` only when a harness,
-  config, package, or unknown-root edit really needs the broad Vitest fallback.
-
-## CI Debugging
-
-Start with current run state, not logs for everything:
-
-```bash
-gh run list --branch main --limit 10
-gh run view <run-id> --json status,conclusion,headSha,url,jobs
-gh run view <run-id> --job <job-id> --log
-```
-
-- Check exact SHA. Ignore newer unrelated `main` unless asked.
-- For cancelled same-branch runs, confirm whether a newer run superseded it.
-- Fetch full logs only for failed or relevant jobs.
-
-## Docker
-
-Docker is expensive. First inspect the scheduler without running Docker:
-
-```bash
-OPENCLAW_DOCKER_ALL_DRY_RUN=1 pnpm test:docker:all
-OPENCLAW_DOCKER_ALL_DRY_RUN=1 OPENCLAW_DOCKER_ALL_LANES=install-e2e pnpm test:docker:all
-OPENCLAW_DOCKER_ALL_LANES=install-e2e node scripts/test-docker-all.mjs --plan-json
-```
-
-Run one failed lane locally only when explicitly asked or when GitHub is not
-usable:
-
-```bash
-OPENCLAW_DOCKER_ALL_LANES=<lane> \
-OPENCLAW_DOCKER_ALL_BUILD=0 \
-OPENCLAW_DOCKER_ALL_PREFLIGHT=0 \
-OPENCLAW_SKIP_DOCKER_BUILD=1 \
-OPENCLAW_DOCKER_E2E_BARE_IMAGE='<prepared-bare-image>' \
-OPENCLAW_DOCKER_E2E_FUNCTIONAL_IMAGE='<prepared-functional-image>' \
-pnpm test:docker:all
-```
-
-For release validation, prefer the reusable GitHub workflow input:
-
-```yaml
-docker_lanes: install-e2e
-```
-
-Multiple lanes are allowed:
-
-```yaml
-docker_lanes: install-e2e bundled-channel-update-acpx
-```
-
-That skips the three chunk matrix and runs one targeted Docker job against the
-prepared GHCR images and a fresh OpenClaw npm tarball for the selected ref.
-Reruns usually need that new tarball because the fix being tested changed the
-package contents even if the SHA-tagged GHCR Docker image can be reused.
-Live-only targeted reruns skip the E2E images and build only the live-test
-image. Release-path normal mode remains max three Docker chunk jobs:
-
-- `core`
-- `package-update`
-- `plugins-integrations`
-
-Docker E2E images never copy repo sources as the app under test: the bare image
-is a Node/Git runner, and the functional image installs the same prebuilt npm
-tarball that bare lanes mount. `scripts/package-openclaw-for-docker.mjs` is the
-single packer for local scripts and CI and validates the tarball inventory
-before Docker consumes it. `scripts/test-docker-all.mjs --plan-json` is the
-scheduler-owned CI plan for image kind, package, live image, lane, and
-credential needs. Docker lane definitions live in the single scenario catalog
-`scripts/lib/docker-e2e-scenarios.mjs`; planner logic lives in
-`scripts/lib/docker-e2e-plan.mjs`. `scripts/docker-e2e.mjs` converts plan and
-summary JSON into GitHub outputs and step summaries. Every scheduler run writes
-`.artifacts/docker-tests/**/summary.json` plus `failures.json`. Read those
-before rerunning. Lane entries include `command`, `rerunCommand`, status,
-timing, timeout state, image kind, and log file path. The summary also includes
-top-level phase timings for preflight, image build, package prep, lane pools,
-and cleanup. Use `pnpm test:docker:timings <summary.json>` to rank slow lanes
-and phases before deciding whether a broader rerun is justified.
-
-## Cheap Docker Reruns
-
-First derive the smallest rerun command from artifacts:
-
-```bash
-pnpm test:docker:rerun <github-run-id>
-pnpm test:docker:rerun .artifacts/docker-tests/<run>/failures.json
-```
-
-The script downloads Docker E2E artifacts for a GitHub run, reads
-`summary.json`/`failures.json`, and prints a combined targeted workflow command
-plus per-lane commands. Prefer the combined targeted command when several lanes
-failed for the same patch:
-
-```bash
-gh workflow run openclaw-live-and-e2e-checks-reusable.yml \
-  -f ref=<sha> \
-  -f include_repo_e2e=false \
-  -f include_release_path_suites=false \
-  -f include_openwebui=false \
-  -f docker_lanes='install-e2e bundled-channel-update-acpx' \
-  -f include_live_suites=false \
-  -f live_models_only=false
-```
-
-That path still runs the prepare job, so it creates a new tarball for `<sha>`.
-If the SHA-tagged GHCR bare/functional image already exists, CI skips rebuilding
-that image and only uploads the fresh package artifact before the targeted lane
-job. Do not rerun the full three-chunk release path unless the failed lane list
-or touched surface really requires it.
-
-## Docker Expected Timings
-
-Treat these as ballpark. Blacksmith queue time, GHCR pull speed, provider
-latency, npm cache state, and Docker daemon health can dominate.
-
-Current local timing artifact (`.artifacts/docker-tests/lane-timings.json`) has
-these rough bands:
-
-- Tiny lanes, seconds to under 1 minute:
-  `agents-delete-shared-workspace` ~3s, `plugin-update` ~7s,
-  `config-reload` ~14s, `pi-bundle-mcp-tools` ~15s, `onboard` ~18s,
-  `session-runtime-context` ~20s, `gateway-network` ~34s, `qr` ~44s.
-- Medium deterministic lanes, ~1-5 minutes:
-  `npm-onboard-channel-agent` ~96s, `openai-image-auth` ~99s,
-  bundled channel/update lanes usually ~90-300s, `openwebui` ~225s,
-  `mcp-channels` ~274s.
-- Heavy deterministic lanes, ~6-10 minutes:
-  `bundled-channel-root-owned` ~429s,
-  `bundled-channel-setup-entry` ~420s,
-  `bundled-channel-load-failure` ~383s,
-  `cron-mcp-cleanup` ~567s.
-- Live provider lanes, often ~15-20 minutes:
-  `live-gateway` ~958s, `live-models` ~1054s.
-- Installer/release lanes:
-  `install-e2e` and package-update paths can vary widely with npm, provider,
-  and package registry behavior. Budget tens of minutes; prefer GitHub targeted
-  reruns over local repeats.
-
-Default fallback lane timeout is 120 minutes. A timeout usually means debug the
-lane log/artifacts first, not “run the whole thing again.”
-
-## Failure Workflow
-
-1. Identify exact failing job, SHA, lane, and artifact path.
-2. Read `failures.json`, `summary.json`, and the failed lane log tail.
-3. Use `pnpm test:docker:rerun <run-id|failures.json>` to generate targeted
-   GitHub rerun commands.
-4. If the lane has `rerunCommand`, use that only as a local starting point.
-5. For Docker release failures, dispatch targeted `docker_lanes=<failed-lane>`
-   on GitHub before considering local Docker.
-6. Patch narrowly, then rerun the failed file/lane only.
-7. Broaden to `pnpm check:changed` or CI only after the isolated proof passes.
-
-## When To Escalate
-
-- Public SDK/plugin contract changes: run changed gate plus relevant extension
-  validation.
-- Build output, lazy imports, package boundaries, or published surfaces:
-  include `pnpm build`.
-- Workflow edits: run `pnpm check:workflows`.
-- Release branch or tag validation: use release docs and GitHub workflows; avoid
-  local Docker unless Peter explicitly asks.

-- Codex harness: normalize cached input tokens before session/context accounting so prompt cache reads are not double-counted in `/status`, `session_status`, or persisted `sessionEntry.totalTokens`. Fixes #69298. Thanks @richardmqq.
-- Hooks/session-memory: use the host local timezone for memory filenames, fallback timestamp slugs, and markdown headers instead of UTC dates. Fixes #46703. (#46721) Thanks @Astro-Han.
-- Feishu: extract quoted/replied interactive-card text across schema 1.0, schema 2.0, i18n, template-variable, and post-format fallback shapes without carrying broad generated/config churn from related parser experiments. (#38776, #60383, #42218, #45936) Thanks @lishuaigit, @lskun, @just2gooo, and @Br1an67.
-- Exec approvals: accept a symlinked `OPENCLAW_HOME` as the trusted approvals root while still rejecting symlinked `.openclaw` path components below it. (#64663) Thanks @FunJim.
-- Logging: add top-level `hostname`, flattened `message`, and available `agent_id`, `session_id`, and `channel` fields to file-log JSONL records for multi-agent filtering without removing existing structured log arguments. Fixes #51075. Thanks @stevengonsalvez.
-- ACP: route server logs to stderr before Gateway config/bootstrap work so ACP stdout remains JSON-RPC only for IDE integrations. Fixes #49060. Thanks @Hollychou924.
-- Logging: propagate internal request trace scopes through Gateway HTTP requests and WebSocket frames so file logs, diagnostic events, agent run traces, model-call traces, OTEL spans, and trusted provider `traceparent` headers share a correlatable `traceId` without logging raw request or model content. Fixes #40353. Thanks @liangruochong44-ui.
-- Diagnostics/OTEL: capture privacy-safe model-call request payload bytes, streamed response bytes, first-response latency, and total duration in diagnostic events, plugin hooks, stability snapshots, and OTEL model-call spans/metrics without logging raw model content. Fixes #33832. Thanks @wwh830.
-- Logging: write validated diagnostic trace context as top-level `traceId`, `spanId`, `parentSpanId`, and `traceFlags` fields in file-log JSONL records so traced requests and model calls are easier to correlate in log processors. Refs #40353. Thanks @liangruochong44-ui.
-- Logging/sessions: apply configured redaction patterns to persisted session transcript text and accept escaped character classes in safe custom redaction regexes, so transcript JSONL no longer keeps matching sensitive text in the clear. Fixes #42982. Thanks @panpan0000.
-- Providers/Ollama: honor `/api/show` capabilities when registering local models so non-tool Ollama models no longer receive the agent tool surface, and keep native Ollama thinking opt-in instead of enabling it by default. Fixes #64710 and duplicate #65343. Thanks @yuan-b, @netherby, @xilopaint, and @Diyforfun2026.
-- Providers/Ollama: expose native Ollama thinking effort levels so `/think max` is accepted for reasoning-capable Ollama models and maps to Ollama's highest supported `think` effort. Fixes #71584. Thanks @g0st1n.
-- Agents/Ollama: validate explicit `--thinking max` against catalog-discovered Ollama reasoning metadata so local agent runs accept the same native thinking levels shown in the model catalog. Fixes #71584. Thanks @g0st1n.
-- Docker/QA: add observability coverage to the normal Docker aggregate so QA-lab OTEL and Prometheus diagnostics run inside Docker. Thanks @vincentkoc.
-- Auto-reply: poison inbound message dedupe after replay-unsafe provider/runtime failures so retries stay safe before visible progress but cannot duplicate messages after block output, tool side effects, or session progress. Fixes #69303; keeps #58549 and #64606 as duplicate validation. Thanks @martingarramon, @NikolaFC, and @zeroth-blip.
-- Agents/model fallback: jump directly to a known later live-session model redirect instead of walking unrelated fallback candidates, while preserving the already-landed live-session/fallback loop guard. Fixes #57471; related loop family already closed via #58496. Thanks @yuxiaoyang2007-prog.
-- Gateway/Bonjour: keep @homebridge/ciao cancellation handlers registered across advertiser restarts so late probing cancellations cannot crash Linux and other mDNS-churned gateways. Thanks @codex.
-- Plugins/startup: load the default `memory-core` slot during Gateway startup when permitted so active-memory recall can call `memory_search` and `memory_get` without requiring an explicit `plugins.slots.memory` entry, while preserving `plugins.slots.memory: "none"`. Thanks @codex.
-- Plugins/CLI: prefer native require for compiled bundled plugin JavaScript before jiti so read-only config, status, device, and node commands avoid unnecessary transform overhead on slow hosts. Fixes #62842. Thanks @Effet.
-- Plugins/compat: inventory doctor-side deprecation migrations separately from runtime plugin compatibility so release sweeps preserve needed repairs while enforcing dated removal windows. Thanks @vincentkoc.
-- Plugins/compat: add missing dated compatibility records for legacy extension-api, memory registration, provider hook/type aliases, runtime aliases, channel SDK helpers, and approval/test utility shims. Thanks @vincentkoc.
-- Plugins/CLI: refresh the persisted registry after managed plugin files are removed so ClawHub uninstall cannot leave stale `plugins list` entries. Thanks @codex.
-- Plugins/CLI: make plugin install and uninstall config writes conflict-aware, clear stale denylist entries on explicit reinstall/removal, and delete managed plugin files only after config/index commit succeeds. Thanks @codex.
-- Plugins: fail `plugins update` when tracked plugin or hook updates error, keep bundled runtime-dependency repair behind restrictive allowlists, and reject package installs with unloadable extension entries. Thanks @codex.
-- WebChat/Control UI: support non-video file attachments in chat uploads while preserving the existing image attachment path and MIME-sniff fallback for generic image uploads. (#70947) Thanks @IAMSamuelRodda.
-- Skills/memory: restore Chokidar v5 hot reloads by watching concrete skill and memory roots with filters, including SKILL.md removals and deleted skill folders without broad workspace recursion. Fixes #27404, #33585, and #41606. Thanks @shelvenzhou, @08820048, and @rocke2020.
-- Gateway/chat: keep duplicate attachment-backed `chat.send` retries with the same idempotency key on the documented in-flight path so aborts still target the real active run. Fixes #70139. Thanks @Feelw00.
-- Plugins: share package entrypoint resolution between install and discovery, reject mismatched `runtimeExtensions`, and cache bundled runtime-dependency manifest reads during scans. Thanks @codex.
-- WhatsApp/Web: keep quiet but healthy linked-device sessions connected by basing the watchdog on WhatsApp Web transport activity, while retaining a longer app-silence cap so frame activity cannot mask a stuck session forever. Fixes #70678; carries forward the focused #71466 approach and keeps #63939 as related configurable-timeout follow-up. Thanks @vincentkoc and @oromeis.
-- Discord/gateway: count failed health-monitor restart attempts toward cooldown and hourly caps, and evict stale account lifecycle state during channel reloads so repeated Discord gateway recovery cannot loop on old status. Fixes #38596. (#40413) Thanks @jellyAI-dev and @vashquez.
-- Cron/context engine: run isolated cron jobs under run-scoped context-engine session keys so prior runs of the same job are not inherited unless the job is explicitly session-bound. (#72292) Thanks @jalehman.
-- Control UI: localize command palette labels, categories, skill shortcuts, footer hints, and connect-command copy labels while preserving localized command palette search matching. (#61130, #61119) Thanks @rubensfox20.

-- Onboarding/setup: keep first-run config reads, plugin compatibility notices, and post-model sanity checks on cold metadata paths unless the user chooses to browse all models, avoiding full plugin/runtime catalog work between prompts. Thanks @shakkernerd.
-- Onboarding/auth: run manifest-owned provider auth choices through scoped setup providers so selecting OpenAI Codex browser/device auth no longer loads every provider runtime before OAuth starts. Thanks @shakkernerd.
-- Onboarding/auth: keep the post-auth default-model policy lookup on manifest/setup metadata so the next prompt appears without loading broad provider runtime. Thanks @shakkernerd.
-- Onboarding/models: keep skip-auth and provider-scoped model picker prompts off the full global model catalog path, and cache provider catalog hook resolution so setup no longer stalls after auth on large plugin registries. Thanks @shakkernerd.
-- Gateway/Bonjour: suppress known @homebridge/ciao cancellation and network assertion failures through scoped process handlers so malformed mDNS packets or restricted VPS networking disable/restart Bonjour instead of crashing the gateway. Fixes #67578. Thanks @zenassist26-create.
-- Discord: keep late clicks on already-resolved exec approval buttons quiet when elevated mode auto-resolved the request, while still surfacing real approval submission failures. Fixes #66906. Thanks @rlerikse.
-- Telegram: send a fresh final message for long-lived preview-streamed replies so the visible Telegram timestamp reflects completion time instead of the preview creation time. Thanks @rubencu.

-- TTS/agents: allow `agents.list[].tts` to override global `messages.tts` for per-agent voices, and make `/tts audio`, `/tts status`, and the `tts` agent tool honor the active voice/provider override while keeping shared provider credentials and preferences in the existing TTS config surface.
-- Providers/Azure Speech: add Azure Speech as a bundled TTS provider with Speech-resource auth, voice listing, SSML escaping, native Ogg/Opus voice-note output, and telephony output. (#51776) Thanks @leonchui.
-- Google Meet: add calendar-backed attendance export workflows, export manifests, dry-run previews, and tool parity for meeting records.
-- Control UI: add PWA install support and Web Push notifications for Gateway chat. (#44590) Thanks @eduardocruz.
-- Browser automation: add safe tab URLs in agent responses plus a CDP-native role snapshot fallback with iframe-aware refs, cursor-clickable detection, target attach preparation, and `openclaw browser doctor --deep` live snapshot probing.
-- CLI/image generation: expose generic `--background` on `openclaw infer image generate` and `openclaw infer image edit`, keep `--openai-background` as an OpenAI alias, and let fal image generation honor `--output-format png|jpeg`.
-- Browser/config: allow local managed Chrome launch discovery and post-launch CDP readiness timeouts to be raised for slower hosts such as Raspberry Pi. Fixes #66803. Thanks @beat843796.

-- Plugins: migrate the local plugin registry automatically during package install/update, keeping install metadata in the plugin index while indexing existing plugin manifests for the new cold registry path. Thanks @vincentkoc and @shakkernerd.
-- Plugins/doctor: make `openclaw doctor --fix` refresh the plugin index and cold registry index when needed without treating plugin install records as authored config. Thanks @vincentkoc and @shakkernerd.

-- Plugins/tokenjuice: bump the bundled tokenjuice runtime to 0.6.3. Thanks @vincentkoc.
+- CLI/Crestodian: open interactive Crestodian in the full OpenClaw TUI shell instead of a basic readline prompt.
+- CLI/Crestodian: shorten the startup greeting to the active planner/model, config state, Gateway probe result, and next debug action instead of dumping every discovered backend.
+- Plugins: migrate the local plugin registry automatically during package install/update, preserving legacy config and install-ledger state while indexing existing plugin manifests for the new cold registry path. Thanks @vincentkoc.

-- Diagnostics/OTEL: support signal-specific OTLP endpoint overrides for traces, metrics, and logs via config or standard OTEL environment variables. Thanks @vincentkoc.
-- Diagnostics/OTEL: emit bounded telemetry exporter health diagnostics for startup and log-export failures without exporting raw error text. Thanks @vincentkoc.
-- Diagnostics/OTEL: export agent harness lifecycle telemetry as bounded `openclaw.harness.run` spans and `openclaw.harness.duration_ms` metrics so QA-lab, Codex, and future harnesses share one trace shape. Thanks @vincentkoc.
-- Diagnostics/trace: propagate W3C `traceparent` headers from trusted model-call trace context to provider transports while replacing caller-supplied traceparent values. Thanks @vincentkoc.
-- Diagnostics/Prometheus: add a bundled `diagnostics-prometheus` plugin with a protected gateway scrape route for low-cardinality diagnostics metrics. Thanks @vincentkoc.
 - Plugins/CLI: add `openclaw plugins registry` for explicit persisted-registry inspection and `--refresh` repair without making normal startup rescan plugin locations. Thanks @vincentkoc.
 - Plugins/CLI: make `openclaw plugins list` read the cold persisted registry snapshot by default, leaving module-aware diagnostics to `plugins doctor` and `plugins inspect`. Thanks @vincentkoc.
 - Plugins/startup: move gateway startup plugin planning onto the versioned cold registry index, with postinstall repair for older registry files that predate startup metadata. Thanks @vincentkoc.
 - Plugins/startup: normalize startup and provider plugin enablement through registry aliases so boot paths do not need the legacy manifest alias scan. Thanks @vincentkoc.
 - Providers/plugins: resolve provider ownership, provider discovery scopes, and catalog-hook provider ids from the cold plugin registry instead of rescanning manifests on those paths. Thanks @vincentkoc.
-- Plugins/registry: keep installed plugin index records focused on install/state/load paths and resolve plugin capabilities from manifests scoped to indexed plugins. Thanks @shakkernerd.
-- Plugins/registry: route cold manifest and capability lookups through the installed plugin index so setup, channels, config, secrets, doctor, and provider metadata paths avoid broad plugin-root scans before runtime execution. Thanks @shakkernerd.

-- Plugins/compat: expand the central compatibility registry with dated owners, replacements, and maximum three-month removal targets for legacy SDK, manifest, setup, registry-migration, and agent-runtime surfaces. Thanks @vincentkoc.
 - Plugins/registry: ignore stale persisted registry reads when plugin policy no longer matches current config, and stamp generated registry files with a do-not-edit warning. Thanks @vincentkoc.
-- Config/plugins: keep plugin command-alias validation on cold manifest metadata instead of importing the runtime alias resolver. Thanks @vincentkoc.
-- Security/plugins: keep web-search credential presence checks on cold config, env, and manifest metadata instead of importing web-search provider runtime. Thanks @vincentkoc.

 - Diagnostics/OTEL: export diagnostic memory samples and pressure as bounded memory histograms, counters, and pressure spans to help spot leak regressions without session or payload data. Thanks @vincentkoc.
 - Diagnostics/OTEL: add the GenAI `gen_ai.client.token.usage` histogram for input/output model usage while keeping session identifiers and aggregate cache counters out of the semantic metric. Thanks @vincentkoc.
-- Diagnostics/OTEL: add a bounded `openclaw.agent` label to OpenClaw token metrics so per-agent Grafana dashboards can group usage without exporting session identifiers. Thanks @oc-factus.
-- Plugins/install: consolidate managed plugin install metadata into the state-managed plugin index at `plugins/installs.json`, replacing the temporary `plugins/installed-index.json` path and removing `plugins.installs` as an authored config surface. Thanks @vincentkoc and @shakkernerd.
+- Plugins/install: move managed plugin install metadata from `plugins.installs`
+  to the state-managed `plugins/installs.json` ledger, with legacy config reads
+  kept as a deprecated compatibility fallback. Thanks @vincentkoc.
 - Diagnostics/OTEL: add the GenAI `gen_ai.client.operation.duration` histogram for model-call latency in seconds with bounded provider/model/API and error attributes. Thanks @vincentkoc.

 - Diagnostics/OTEL: include bounded GenAI operation, provider, and request-model attributes on model-usage spans so token usage remains self-describing without diagnostic identifiers. Thanks @vincentkoc.
 - Diagnostics/OTEL: keep model-usage span GenAI provider attributes aligned with the existing semantic-convention opt-in policy, using legacy `gen_ai.system` unless latest experimental GenAI conventions are enabled. Thanks @vincentkoc.
 - Diagnostics/OTEL: keep `gen_ai.request.model` present on GenAI token usage metrics with a bounded `unknown` fallback when model usage events do not include a model. Thanks @vincentkoc.
 - Docs/OTEL: document the GenAI token and model-call duration metrics, model-usage span attributes, and `OTEL_SEMCONV_STABILITY_OPT_IN=gen_ai_latest_experimental` provider-attribute behavior. Thanks @vincentkoc.
-- Docs: refresh the MCP, model provider, doctor, troubleshooting, BlueBubbles, media generation, TTS, subagents, skills, cron/tasks, exec approvals, and voice-call guides with structured Steps, Tabs, and Accordion content.
-- Diagnostics/trace: add an internal traceparent propagation helper that only formats trusted dispatcher metadata, keeping plugin-emitted diagnostic traces out of outbound propagation by default. Thanks @vincentkoc.

 - Android/Talk Mode: expose Talk Mode in the Voice tab with runtime-owned voice capture modes and microphone foreground-service escalation. Thanks @alex-latitude.
 - Providers/LiteLLM: register `litellm` as an image-generation provider so `image_generate model=litellm/...` calls and `agents.defaults.imageGenerationModel.fallbacks` entries resolve through the LiteLLM proxy. Thanks @zqchris.
-- Providers/fal: add Seedance 2.0 reference-to-video models with multi-image, video, and audio reference input mapping plus model-specific capability limits for `video_generate`. Thanks @shivanker.
-- Codex harness: require Codex app-server `0.125.0` or newer and cover native MCP `PreToolUse`, `PostToolUse`, and `PermissionRequest` payloads through the OpenClaw hook relay.
-- Agents/Codex: teach prompts and `agents_list` to surface native Codex app-server availability so agents prefer `/codex ...` over Codex ACP unless ACP/acpx is explicit. Thanks @vincentkoc.
-- ACPX/Droid: add Factory Droid to the live ACP bind Docker matrix, including `.factory` settings staging, `FACTORY_API_KEY` forwarding, and the single-agent `test:docker:live-acp-bind:droid` recipe.

 ### Fixes
 
-- Agents/subagents: deliver completed yielded-subagent results back to no-thread requester routes via direct fallback when the dormant parent announce turn produces no visible reply, and add QA-lab coverage for the regression. Thanks @vincentkoc.
-- Gateway/Tailscale: let Tailscale-authenticated Control UI operator sessions with browser device identity skip the device-pairing round trip while still rejecting device-less and node-role connections. Refs #71986. Thanks @jokedul.
-- Doctor: honor `OPENCLAW_SERVICE_REPAIR_POLICY=external` by reporting gateway service health while skipping service install/start/restart/bootstrap, supervisor rewrites, and legacy service cleanup for externally managed environments. Thanks @shakkernerd.
-- CLI/update: run package post-update doctor with `--fix` so package updates repair config migrations before restart. Thanks @shakkernerd.
-- CLI/update: retry failed npm global updates with `--omit=optional` and ignore the superseded first failure when the fallback succeeds. Thanks @shakkernerd.
-- Plugins/uninstall: migrate and reset `plugins.slots.contextEngine` alongside memory slots when plugin ids change or selected plugins are removed. Thanks @shakkernerd.
-- Agents/Discord: keep raw `Agent failed before reply` runner failures out of Discord group/channel chats and show detailed runner errors in direct chats only when `/verbose` is enabled. Thanks @codex.
-- UI/Windows: quote resolved pnpm `.cmd` launcher paths before spawning UI install/build/test commands so Node installs under `C:\Program Files` no longer fail as `C:\Program`. Fixes #45275. Thanks @Kobevictor, @stoppieboy, and @iubns.
-- Codex/agent: translate `--thinking minimal` to `low` for modern Codex models (gpt-5.5, gpt-5.4, gpt-5.4-mini, gpt-5.2) at request build time so the first turn is accepted instead of paying a wasted call + retry-with-low fallback. Older Codex models still receive `minimal` directly. Fixes #71946. Thanks @hclsys.
-- Plugins/uninstall: remove tracked plugin files from their recorded managed extensions root even when the current state directory points somewhere else, so `openclaw plugins uninstall --force` does not leave the plugin discoverable. Thanks @shakkernerd.
-- Agents/runtime: add `agentRuntime.id` as the canonical config key, migrate legacy runtime-policy configs with `openclaw doctor --fix`, route canonical Anthropic models through `claude-cli` without passing CLI backend aliases to embedded harness selection, and load CLI backend owner plugins before channel startup. Fixes #71957. Thanks @WolvenRA.
-- CLI/update: guard Windows scheduled-task stops by state and timeout so auto-update restart cannot hang indefinitely on `schtasks /End` before stale-listener cleanup. Fixes #69970. Thanks @yangswld and @sherlock-huang.
-- Windows install/Lobster: execute `pnpm.exe` directly when `npm_execpath` points at the native pnpm binary, add an installed-package fallback for the Lobster embedded runtime, and include the Lobster runner regression test in Windows CI. Fixes #69456. Thanks @igormf.
-- Gateway/install: refresh loaded gateway service installs when the current service embeds stale gateway auth instead of returning already-installed, avoiding LaunchAgent token-mismatch loops after token rotation. Fixes #70752. Thanks @hyspacex.
-- Update: ignore bundled plugin `.openclaw-install-stage` directories during global install verification and packaged dist pruning so leftover runtime-dep staging files do not turn successful updates into `unexpected packaged dist file` failures. Fixes #71752. Thanks @waynegault.
-- CLI/update: fail package updates when post-update plugin sync fails and refresh legacy npm plugin install records before trusting unchanged artifacts, preventing successful updates from restarting with stale or failed plugin state. Thanks @vincentkoc and @shakkernerd.
-- Release/update: reject pre-populated bundled plugin `.openclaw-install-stage` directories, including mixed-case path variants, before package inventory generation so release tarballs cannot ship poisoned runtime-dependency staging debris. Fixes #71752. Thanks @hclsys.
-- Node runtime: keep node-host retry timers alive across Gateway restarts and exit on terminal credential pauses so supervised nodes do not become silent zombies. Fixes #69800. Thanks @meroli28.
-- Gateway/plugins: stop persisted WhatsApp auth state from activating bundled channel runtime-dependency repair during startup when `channels.whatsapp` is absent, avoiding npm/git stalls on packaged Linux installs. Fixes #71994. Thanks @xiao398008.
-- Gateway/device tokens: enforce caller-scope containment inside token rotation and revocation so pairing-only sessions cannot mutate higher-scope operator tokens. Fixes #71990. Thanks @coygeek.
-- Plugins/channels: keep security checks, thread-binding placement, provider summaries, health formatting, and message action labels on read-only or already-loaded channel metadata instead of importing full channel runtime. Thanks @shakkernerd.
-- Plugins/status: keep config-only channel labels and status security summaries from importing plugin runtime modules just to render metadata. Thanks @shakkernerd.
-- Sessions/channels: stop group-session metadata from loading bundled channel runtime just to classify `#channel` subjects, using only already-loaded channel capabilities on that path. Thanks @shakkernerd.
-- Plugins/channels: keep native command and native skill `auto` defaults on static channel metadata so config, audit, and command-list checks do not load channel runtime just to read those defaults. Thanks @shakkernerd.
-- CLI/channels: keep channel remove selection and all-channel capabilities summaries on read-only plugin metadata, loading channel runtime only for the selected mutation path. Thanks @shakkernerd.
-- CLI/models: keep Provider Index preview rows out of `models list --all --provider <id>` when the owning provider plugin is disabled, preserving config authority for cold catalog fallbacks. Thanks @shakkernerd.
-- CLI/model runs: keep `openclaw infer model run` on explicit OpenRouter models from loading the full provider catalog or inheriting chat-agent silent-reply policy, restoring non-empty one-shot probe output. Fixes #68791. Thanks @limpredator.
-- Installer/macOS: rerun Homebrew install steps without the gum spinner when raw-mode ioctl failures occur, and avoid claiming `node@24` was installed when the Homebrew keg binary is missing. Fixes #70411. Thanks @1fanwang and @dad-io.
-- Installer: load nvm before Node.js detection so `curl | bash` installs respect nvm-managed Node instead of stale system Node. Fixes #49556. Thanks @heavenlxj.
-- Installer/Windows: route PowerShell install failures through a top-level handler so `iwr ... | iex` returns control to the current shell while direct script-file runs still exit non-zero. Fixes #38054. Thanks @PwrSrg.
-- CLI/Volta: respawn raw `openclaw` CLI runs through the named `node` shim when the current Node executable resolves to `volta-shim`, avoiding direct shim execution failures in non-interactive shells. Fixes #68672. Thanks @sanchezm86.
-- Installer: warn when multiple npm global roots contain OpenClaw installs, showing active Node/npm/openclaw plus each install path and version so stale version-manager installs are visible. Fixes #40839. Thanks @zhixianio.
-- Cron/tasks: recover completed cron task ledger records from durable run logs and job state before marking them `lost`, reducing false `backing session missing` audit errors for isolated cron runs and keeping offline CLI audit from treating its empty local cron active-job set as authoritative. Fixes #71963.
-- Docker: copy patched dependency files into runtime images so downstream `pnpm install` layers keep working. Fixes #69224. Thanks @gucasbrg.
-- Package: include patched dependency files in the published npm package so downstream installs can resolve `patchedDependencies`. (#69224) Thanks @gucasbrg and @vincentkoc.
-- Plugins/channels: treat malformed bundled channel plugin loaders that return `undefined` as unavailable instead of crashing config and help paths. Fixes #69044. Thanks @frankhli843 and @vincentkoc.
-- Scripts/watch: show corrupted dependency package-config recovery guidance when `gateway:watch` fails during watcher startup, without double-logging unrelated import failures. (#58780) Thanks @roytong9 and @vincentkoc.
-- Signal: read signal-cli RPC, health checks, and SSE events through Node's HTTP client so Node 24/25 fetch regressions do not break Signal sends or inbound events. Fixes #51716 and #53040. Thanks @Barukimang, @minupla, and @vincentkoc.
-- Skills/Docker: run npm-backed skill dependency installs with an OpenClaw-managed user prefix so non-root Docker images do not write to `/usr/local`. Fixes #59601. Thanks @chanjarster and @vincentkoc.
-- Agents/runtime: submit heartbeat, cron, and exec wakeups as transient runtime context instead of visible user prompts, keeping synthetic system work out of chat transcripts. Fixes #66496 and #66814. Thanks @jeades and @mandomaker.
-- Telegram: include native quote excerpts automatically for threaded replies and reply tags when the original Telegram text is available, without adding another config knob. Fixes #6975. Thanks @rex05ai.
-- Node/Linux: make `openclaw node install` enable and restart the `openclaw-node` systemd unit instead of the gateway unit on node-only VMs. Fixes #68287. Thanks @dlebee-agent.
-- Browser/CDP: retry transient raw-CDP WebSocket handshake failures before any browser command is sent, and reconnect stale persistent Playwright CDP sessions for safe tab-list reads without replaying mutating browser actions. Fixes #67728.
-- Gateway/Linux: retry `systemctl --user enable` after a second daemon reload when the freshly written gateway unit is not visible yet on migrated systemd installs. Fixes #65184. Thanks @liushuaiiu.
-- Telegram: preserve exact selected quote text when sending native quote replies, and retry with legacy replies if Telegram rejects quote parameters. (#71952) Thanks @rubencu.
-- Plugins/CLI: preserve manifest name, description, format, and source metadata in cold `openclaw plugins list` output without importing plugin runtime. Thanks @shakkernerd.
-- Security/audit: read channel exposure and plugin allowlist ownership from read-only plugin index metadata so cold audits do not depend on loaded channel runtime. Thanks @shakkernerd.
-- Plugins/chat: keep `/plugins list`, `/plugins enable`, and `/plugins disable` on the persisted plugin index path so chat plugin management does not load diagnostic/runtime plugin registries before execution. Thanks @shakkernerd.
-- Plugins/doctor: read workspace plugin status and legacy web-search ownership through installed-index manifest metadata instead of broad manifest registry scans. Thanks @shakkernerd.
-- CLI/agents: read channel provider status from read-only plugin index metadata for text `agents list` output instead of the loaded channel registry. Thanks @shakkernerd.
-- Logging: redact configured secret patterns at console and file-log sink exits so credentials that reach the logger are masked before terminal display or JSONL persistence. Fixes #67953. Thanks @Ziy1-Tan.
-- Gateway/services: refuse process and service mutations from an older OpenClaw binary when the config was last written by a newer version, preventing split-brain installs from stopping or rewriting newer gateway services. Fixes #57079.
-- Gateway: reserve `/healthz` and `/readyz` ahead of plugin, canvas, and Control UI HTTP stages so liveness/readiness probes still answer when a later route handler stalls. Fixes #69674. Thanks @Xike-Creek.
-- Logging: load `logging.file` and redaction settings directly from the active OpenClaw config path in bundled runtimes, so packaged gateways stop falling back to `/tmp/openclaw`. Fixes #59370, #67168, and #61295. Thanks @KeaneYan, @Pan9hu, and @zsjlovelike.
-- Logging: rotate file logs at `logging.maxFileBytes`, keep bounded numbered archives, and make long-lived rolling loggers follow the current-day file instead of suppressing diagnostics or writing stale dated files. Fixes #58583 and #62381. Thanks @jpeghead and @zhaoleink.
-- Agents/groups: treat clean empty assistant stops as silent `NO_REPLY` only for always-on groups where silent replies are allowed, while keeping direct and mention-gated sessions on the incomplete-turn retry path. Thanks @MagnaAI.
-- macOS/Node: keep native remote app nodes from advertising `browser.proxy`, start browser-capable CLI node services through the restored `openclaw node start` command, and show an actionable browser-control error when the local control service is missing. Fixes #66637.
-- Gateway/update: fail package updates when the restarted managed gateway reports the wrong version, including fallback restarts and JSON mode, avoiding false-success mixed-version restarts after macOS LaunchAgent updates. Fixes #71835. Thanks @abhinas90 and @jsompis.
-- Gateway/update: warn before package updates and bundled plugin runtime-dependency repairs when the target volume appears low on disk space, without blocking installs on best-effort filesystem checks. Fixes #71835. Thanks @abhinas90 and @jsompis.
-- Plugins/runtime deps: surface activated plugin load failures in health and fail package-update restart verification or doctor repair when bundled runtime deps still cannot load, avoiding false-success repairs. (#71883) Thanks @Solvely-Colin.
-- Gateway/Linux: include fnm `aliases/default/bin` in generated service PATHs and let doctor accept either modern fnm aliases or the legacy `current/bin` symlink, avoiding false PATH repair prompts. Fixes #68169. Thanks @richard-scott.
-- Installer/Linux: run apt installs with noninteractive dpkg and needrestart settings so fresh Ubuntu 24.04 `curl | bash` installs do not hang while installing Node.js, Git, or build tools. Fixes #41146. Thanks @iht76, @alexcarv318, @cs3gallery, @firofame, and @cgdusek.
-- Providers/Bedrock: defer the AWS SDK import until Bedrock discovery actually runs so plugin registration and setup stay lightweight on cold start. Fixes #71690. Thanks @jarvis-ai-gregmoser.
-- Installer/macOS: stop immediately when Homebrew `node@24` installation fails and avoid printing PATH advice for missing Homebrew Node installs. Fixes #70411. Thanks @1fanwang.
-- WhatsApp: remove ack reactions after a visible reply when `messages.removeAckAfterReply` is enabled, matching other reaction-capable channels. Fixes #26183. Thanks @MrUnforsaken.
-- Providers/Z.AI: map OpenClaw thinking controls to Z.AI's `thinking` payload and add opt-in preserved thinking replay via `params.preserveThinking`, so GLM 5.x can keep prior `reasoning_content` when requested. Fixes #58680. Thanks @xuanmingguo.
-- Channels/status: keep read-only channel lists on manifest and package metadata by default, loading setup runtime only for explicit fallback callers. Thanks @shakkernerd.
-- Plugins: scope setup and web-provider metadata manifest reads to explicit plugin ids when callers already know the owning plugin set. Thanks @vincentkoc.
-- Plugins/onboarding: defer onboarding install-record index writes until the guarded config commit so setup failures cannot leave the plugin index ahead of `openclaw.json`. Thanks @shakkernerd.
-- Plugins/registry: resolve web provider ownership from the installed plugin index instead of broad manifest scans on secret, tool, and pricing paths. Thanks @shakkernerd.
-- Config/providers: accept `video` and `audio` in configured model `input` values and preserve them in provider catalog entries. Fixes #20721. Thanks @alvinttang.
-- Models/auth: honor the parent `--agent` flag for auth write commands (`add`, `login`, `setup-token`, `paste-token`, and the GitHub Copilot shortcut) so OAuth/API-key/token results are written to the requested agent store instead of the default agent. Fixes #71864. (#71933) Thanks @balric-seo.
-- TTS: strip model-emitted TTS directives from streamed block text before channel delivery, including directives split across adjacent blocks, while preserving the accumulated raw reply for final-mode synthesis. Fixes #38937.
-- TTS: keep explicit `provider=...` directive keys scoped to that provider and warn on unsupported keys instead of letting another speech provider consume overlapping keys. Fixes #60131.
-- TTS/Feishu: normalize final-mode streamed TTS-only audio before delivery so generated voice-note files use the same safe media path and native voice routing as normal final replies. Fixes #71920.
-- Feishu: transcribe inbound voice-note audio with the shared media audio path before agent dispatch and keep raw Feishu `file_key` payloads out of message text. Fixes #67120 and #61876.
-- Tasks: terminalize async Gateway agent task records from the Gateway run result while preserving aborted, failed, and cancelled outcomes instead of leaving completed runs stuck as active or lost. (#71905) Thanks @likewen-tech.
-- WhatsApp: let authorized group voice-note transcripts satisfy mention gating before reply dispatch, while keeping unmentioned transcripts in pending group history. Fixes #44908.
-- Media understanding: carry channel voice-note preflight state into attachment selection so WhatsApp, Feishu, Telegram, and Discord do not transcribe the same inbound audio twice. Fixes #70580.
-- TTS/BlueBubbles: deliver compatible auto-TTS audio as iMessage voice memo bubbles instead of plain MP3/CAF file attachments. Fixes #16848.
-- TTS: resolve voice-note and voice-memo routing from channel plugin capabilities instead of speech-core-owned channel id lists.
-- ACP: send subagent and async-task completion wakes to external ACP harnesses as plain prompts instead of OpenClaw internal runtime-context envelopes, while keeping those envelopes out of ACP transcripts.
-- TTS/status: show configured TTS model, voice, and sanitized custom endpoint in `/status`, preserve OpenAI-compatible TTS instructions on custom endpoints, and retry empty Microsoft/Edge TTS output once. Addresses #46602, #47232, and #43936. Thanks @leekuangtao, @Huntterxx, and @rex993.
-- Agents/Gateway: steer agent-driven config edits and restarts through the owner-only `gateway` tool, document `config.schema.lookup` as the field-doc source, and warn against using `gateway stop && gateway start` as a restart substitute on macOS. Fixes #71929. Thanks @ygc3817922006-sketch.
-- Media understanding/audio: inject a deterministic transcript placeholder for too-small voice notes so agents do not hallucinate transcription or provider failures. Fixes #48944. Thanks @eulicesl.
-- Providers/vLLM: send Nemotron 3 chat-template kwargs when thinking is off and honor configured `params.chat_template_kwargs` for OpenAI-compatible completions, so vLLM/Nemotron replies stay visible instead of becoming thinking-only. Fixes #71891. Thanks @jmystaki-create and @dennis-lynch.
-- Channels/replies: strip copied inbound metadata blocks from user-facing assistant replies and model replay history, so Discord/vLLM sessions do not leak `Conversation info` / `UNTRUSTED ... message body` envelopes after a model echoes them. Fixes #71847. Thanks @jmystaki-create.
-- Subagents/memory: keep inter-session completion wakes out of memory and dreaming session exports, and strip internal runtime-context blocks from realtime Control UI chat events.
-- Agents/Claude: treat zero-token empty `stop` turns as failed provider output, retry once, repair replay, and allow configured model fallback instead of preserving them as successful silent replies. Fixes #71880. Thanks @MagnaAI.
-- Tasks: normalize task lifecycle timestamps at create, update, and restore time, and report retained lost tasks as audit warnings until their cleanup window expires. (#71871) Thanks @likewen-tech.
-- Diagnostics/OTEL: treat normal early model stream cleanup as a completed model call instead of exporting a misleading `StreamAbandoned` error span. Thanks @vincentkoc.
-- Gateway/pairing: stop corrupt or unreadable device/node pairing stores from being treated as empty state, preserving `paired.json` for repair instead of overwriting approved pairings. Fixes #71873. Thanks @iret77.
-- ACP: keep `/acp` management commands, plus local `/status` and `/unfocus`, on the Gateway path inside ACP-bound threads so they are not consumed as ACP prompt text. Fixes #66298. Thanks @kindomLee.
-- ACPX: stop probing ACP agents during normal Gateway startup; the embedded backend now registers without spawning Codex/ACP child processes unless `OPENCLAW_ACPX_RUNTIME_STARTUP_PROBE=1` is explicitly set.
-- CLI/image edit: accept `--size`, `--aspect-ratio`, and `--resolution` on `openclaw infer image edit` and report all supported edit flags from `capability inspect image.edit`. Thanks @Pinghuachiu.
-- ACP: wait for the configured runtime backend to become healthy before startup identity reconciliation, avoiding transient acpx warnings during Gateway boot. Fixes #40566.
-- Channels/ACP bindings: time out configured binding readiness checks instead of letting Discord preflight hang forever when an ACP target never settles. Fixes #68776.
-- Control UI: hide the chat loading skeleton during background history reloads when existing messages or active stream content are already visible, avoiding reload flashes on high-latency local gateways. Fixes #71844. Thanks @WolvenRA.
-- Control UI: keep locally optimistic chat messages visible when a history reload temporarily returns empty, avoiding lost first-turn messages on high-latency gateways. Fixes #71878. Thanks @WolvenRA.
-- Control UI: keep chat history limits based on visible messages after filtering heartbeat and control-only transcript rows, so recent hidden entries no longer make older visible replies disappear. Thanks @WolvenRA.
-- Agents/images: scrub old `[media attached: ...]`, `[Image: source: ...]`, and `media://inbound/...` markers from pruned model replay context so stale media refs are not rehydrated as fresh prompt images. Fixes #71868. Thanks @jmeadlock.
-- Docker/Bonjour: disable Bonjour/mDNS advertising by default for bundled Compose gateways on bridge networking, while keeping host/macvlan opt-in with `OPENCLAW_DISABLE_BONJOUR=0`. Fixes #71879. Thanks @gbballpack.
-- CLI/status: label the OpenClaw Serve/Funnel setting as `Tailscale exposure` and show daemon state separately when available, so `gateway.tailscale.mode: "off"` no longer reads like the Tailscale daemon is stopped. Fixes #71790. Thanks @pesvobodak.
-- Plugins/Bonjour: stop ciao mDNS watchdog failures from looping forever when the advertiser stays stuck in `probing` or `announcing`; Bonjour now disables itself for the current Gateway process after repeated failed restarts while the Gateway keeps running. Fixes #69011. Thanks @siddharthaagarwalofficial-ux, @FiredMosquito831, and @spikefcz.
-- Gateway/Fly.io: seed Control UI allowed origins from the actual runtime bind and port so CLI-driven non-loopback starts do not crash before config exists. Fixes #71823.
-- macOS/remote SSH: keep discovered gateway hosts in `gateway.remote.sshTarget` while pinning SSH transport URLs to the local loopback tunnel, so browser automation does not regress into blocked non-loopback `ws://` endpoints. Fixes #67336.
-- Gateway/proxy: bootstrap env proxy dispatching from direct Gateway startup so provider and plugin network requests honor `HTTPS_PROXY`/`HTTP_PROXY` before the first embedded agent attempt runs. (#71833) Thanks @mjamiv.

-- Plugins/QQ Bot: prefer an installed QQ Bot plugin that declares it replaces the bundled `qqbot` channel, preventing duplicate `qqbot_channel_api` and `qqbot_remind` tool registration noise. Fixes #63102.
-- Browser automation: keep stable tab ids and labels attached when Chromium replaces the raw target after form submissions or other action-triggered navigations, and return the replacement `targetId` from `/act` when the match is provable. Fixes #46137.
-- QQ Bot: make `qqbot_remind` schedule, list, and remove Gateway cron jobs directly for owner-authorized senders instead of returning `cronParams` and relying on a follow-up generic `cron` tool call. Fixes #70865. (#70937) Thanks @GaosCode.
-- Agents/ACP: hide `sessions_spawn` ACP runtime options unless an ACP backend is loaded, and make `/acp doctor` call out `plugins.allow` blocking bundled `acpx`. Thanks @vincentkoc.
-- Agents/Codex: keep ACP prompt/skill routing hidden unless an ACP runtime backend is available, and warn in doctor when enabled Codex plugin configs still route `openai-codex/*` models through PI. Thanks @vincentkoc.
-- Media delivery: avoid sending generated image attachments twice when the assistant reply already includes explicit `MEDIA:` lines for the same turn, and reject unsafe remote `MEDIA:` URLs before delivery. Thanks @pashpashpash.
-- Codex harness: ignore retryable app-server error notifications after Codex recovers, and preserve the real nested error message for terminal app-server failures instead of replacing it with a generic failure. Thanks @pashpashpash.
-- Agents/Codex: prepare native Codex sub-agent session metadata without a nested Gateway session patch and add a focused Docker smoke for the app-server sub-agent path. Thanks @vincentkoc.

-- Plugins/install: restore the previous plugin index records if a concurrent config write conflict interrupts install, update, or uninstall metadata commits. Thanks @shakkernerd.
-- Plugins/install: reject native plugin archives that do not include a valid `openclaw.plugin.json`, preventing manifestless archives from writing install records that later show missing-manifest diagnostics. Thanks @shakkernerd.

-- Plugins/onboarding: defer channel/provider plugin install records until the owning config write commits, keeping setup failures from advancing the plugin index ahead of `openclaw.json`. Thanks @shakkernerd.
-- Plugins/config: route configure and agent setup writes with pending plugin install records through the plugin index commit helper so provider onboarding metadata is not stripped by plain config writes. Thanks @shakkernerd.

-- Plugins/config: defer shipped `plugins.installs` index migration during config writes until the guarded config commit window and roll it back if the config write fails before commit. Thanks @shakkernerd.
-- Sessions: keep embedded runtime context out of the visible user prompt by sending it as a hidden next-turn custom message, and teach doctor to repair affected 2026.4.24 transcripts with duplicated prompt-rewrite branches. Fixes #71761.
-- Gateway/subagents: keep direct-loopback backend RPCs authenticated with the shared gateway token/password off stale CLI paired-device scope baselines, so internal calls no longer hit `scope-upgrade` pairing prompts while remote, browser, node, device-token, and explicit-device paths still require normal pairing approval. Fixes #63548.
-- Providers/Azure OpenAI: give deployment-scoped image generation requests a longer 600s default timeout so slow `gpt-image-2` generations can complete without a per-call `timeoutMs`. Fixes #71705. Thanks @voytas75.
-- Gateway/plugins: link source-checkout bundled runtime dependency caches instead of recursively copying `node_modules` on the gateway main thread, preventing local status, node, and skill probes from timing out during startup cache restores.
-- Skills/remote nodes: only expose remote macOS skill bins for connected nodes, clear stale bin matches when node probes fail, and include probe command, timeout, bin count, and connection state in timeout logs.
-- Skills/remote nodes: recognize `system.which` object-map responses when probing connected macOS nodes, so Linux gateways can expose macOS-only skills such as Apple Notes when the required binaries are installed remotely. Fixes #71877. Thanks @miguelarios.
-- CLI/gateway: keep diagnostic probes from creating first-time read-only device pairings, while still reusing cached device tokens for detailed read probes. Fixes #71766. Thanks @SunboZ.
-- CLI/plugins: keep `message` startup, `channels logs`, `agents delete`, and `agents set-identity` off broad plugin preloading; message delivery still loads plugins when the action actually runs.
-- Image understanding: resolve configured image models such as local LM Studio vision entries before reporting `Unknown model` when the discovery registry has not registered that provider. Fixes #66486. Thanks @zhanggpcsu.
-- QQ Bot: ignore self-echoed bot messages using the outbound ref-index marker, preventing mirrored replies from re-entering the agent loop while still allowing users to quote bot replies. Fixes #71912. Thanks @wangyc6003.
-- Sessions: separate reset freshness from session-store `updatedAt`, so heartbeat, cron, exec, and gateway bookkeeping no longer prevent configured daily/idle resets from rolling long-running channel sessions. Fixes #68315, #63732, #63820, and #69083. Thanks @maxatv, @longhairedsi, @bradfreels, and @akessel56.
-- Sessions: clear queued system-event notices during `/new`, `/reset`, gateway `sessions.reset`, and daily/idle rollover so stale background updates cannot leak into the first prompt of the fresh session. Fixes #66864. Thanks @opeyio, @Magicray1217, and @cedillarack.
-- CLI/agents: keep `agents bind`, `agents unbind`, and `agents bindings` on setup-safe channel metadata paths so they do not preload bundled plugin runtimes or stage runtime dependencies. Fixes #71743.
-- Plugins/registry: preserve explicit disabled plugin records during registry migration without persisting every unused bundled plugin discovered on disk. Thanks @shakkernerd.
-- Windows/native: keep CLI startup and bundled provider plugin loading off Windows ESM raw-path failure paths, fixing native onboarding/install smoke on Node 24.
-- Plugins/doctor: read bundled channel doctor capabilities through the same packaged plugin directory resolver used by plugin loading, so published installs keep Matrix DM allowlist repairs on `channels.matrix.dm.*` instead of writing invalid top-level `dmPolicy` keys. Fixes #71757.
-- Plugins/Windows: keep bundled plugin Jiti loaders off the native import path on Windows so channel plugins such as Telegram no longer crash with `ERR_UNSUPPORTED_ESM_URL_SCHEME` on `C:\...` paths. Fixes #71749. Thanks @smeyer9.
-- Providers/Ollama: use Ollama's current `/api/web_search` endpoint and honor `https://ollama.com` model-provider base URLs for Ollama Web Search. Fixes #71741. Thanks @madhvidua.
-- Memory/Ollama: serialize Ollama memory embedding batches and add an inline batch timeout override, with longer defaults for local/self-hosted embedding providers.
-- Sessions/usage: exclude compaction checkpoint transcript snapshots from usage totals and session discovery, while keeping old checkpoint files removable.
-- CLI/agents: keep `openclaw agents list --json` on the config-only path by default, avoiding bundled plugin loading unless callers request `--bindings`. Fixes #71739. Thanks @kaloster.
-- Plugins/install: force plugin dependency installs to stay project-local even when inherited npm config requests global installs, so successful installs still materialize the plugin's staged `node_modules`.
-- Providers/Google: transcode Gemini TTS PCM to Opus for voice-note targets so WhatsApp and other native voice-note replies can play as voice messages.
-- TTS/WhatsApp: mark non-Opus provider output as voice-note intent so channel delivery transcodes MP3/WebM replies to Ogg/Opus PTT audio.
-- Plugins/runtime deps: reuse existing external bundled-plugin stage roots when mirrored plugin roots are inspected again, avoiding second-generation `openclaw-unknown-*` stages and repeated first-turn restaging. Fixes #71599.
-- iOS/macOS Talk Mode: allow `talk.speechLocale` to set the speech recognition locale for non-English voice conversations. Fixes #44688.
-- Plugins/providers: honor explicit plugin candidate lists instead of reading a persisted registry snapshot from local state, keeping candidate-scoped provider discovery hermetic.
-- Plugins/doctor: keep bundled plugin runtime-dependency repairs inside the managed OpenClaw stage even when user npm prefix/global config points npm at `$HOME/node_modules`. Fixes #71730.
-- ACP/sessions_spawn: reject normal OpenClaw config agent ids when callers explicitly request `runtime="acp"`, while allowing agents configured with `runtime.type="acp"` to resolve to their ACP harness id. Fixes #63914.
-- ACP/sessions_spawn: apply `runTimeoutSeconds` to ACP child turns and dispatch those turns on the background subagent lane, so quota-stalled ACP harnesses do not occupy the main agent lane indefinitely. Fixes #68823.
-- ACP/oneshot: reconcile runtime session identity before closing completed oneshot ACP runs, so finished `sessions.json` entries do not stay stuck with `acp.identity.state="pending"`.
-- ACPX: bundle `acpx@0.6.1` so unsupported generic model overrides fail clearly instead of silently falling back to the target adapter default.
-- ACP/models: document that non-Codex ACP model overrides require adapter support for ACP `models` plus `session/set_model`, so unsupported harnesses fail clearly instead of silently falling back to their defaults.
-- Plugins/Voice Call: treat missing provider credentials as setup-incomplete during Gateway startup and log the missing keys as a warning instead of a runtime startup error, while keeping explicit command/tool errors when used.
-- Android/Talk Mode: prevent duplicate TTS playback when fast or repeated final chat events arrive while Talk Mode is waiting for its own response. Fixes #46546.
-- Tooling/check:changed: pass parent heavy-check lock markers to lint lanes so `pnpm check:changed` no longer waits on its own `lint:extensions` child.
-- CLI/completion: dedupe provider auth flags before registering `openclaw onboard` options, so completion-cache refresh during update no longer fails when stale core fallback flags overlap plugin manifest flags. Fixes #71667.
-- Diagnostics/trace: report live context usage from the current prompt snapshot instead of provider turn totals, avoiding false near-full context spikes on cached or tool-heavy runs.
-- Providers/Google: honor `models.providers.google.request.allowPrivateNetwork` for Gemini TTS and telephony TTS, matching Google image generation and media understanding. (#71723) Thanks @ro-hansolo.
-- Providers/MiniMax: register `minimax-portal` for music and video generation, preserving OAuth auth and regional MiniMax base URLs across the shared `music_generate` and `video_generate` tools. (#63241) Thanks @tars90percent.
-- Providers/onboarding: keep Runway and Alibaba Model Studio out of the text-inference setup picker by scoping their video-generation auth choices to the media setup flow. (#65856) Thanks @Jah-yee.

 - Plugins/Bonjour: stop the gateway from crash-looping on `CIAO PROBING CANCELLED` when the mDNS watchdog cancels a stuck probe. Restores the rejection-handler wiring dropped during the bonjour plugin migration and shares unhandled-rejection state across module instances so plugin-staged copies of `openclaw/plugin-sdk/runtime` register into the same handler set the host consults. Especially affects Docker on macOS, where mDNS probing reliably hits the watchdog. Thanks @troyhitch.

 ### Fixes
 
-- Dependencies: refresh workspace package pins and lockfile entries for AWS SDK, Anthropic SDK, ACP SDK, Matrix crypto, TypeBox, Vite, tsdown, Slack Bolt, CopilotKit AIMock, and related bundled plugin packages. Thanks @steipete.
-- Gateway/env: import each missing expected login-shell env var independently, so an existing gateway token no longer prevents `env.shellEnv` from loading plugin credentials such as `TWILIO_*` from `.profile`. Thanks @steipete.
-- macOS/Gateway pairing: silently accept same-host native app `metadata-upgrade` reconnects, so macOS patch-version changes update paired metadata instead of spamming security audit warnings and `pairing required` disconnects. Thanks @steipete.
 - CLI/Gateway: wait for one-shot gateway RPC clients to finish WebSocket teardown before the CLI process exits, reducing hangs where commands like `openclaw status` or `openclaw version` could finish their work but stay alive until an external timeout killed them (#70691). Thanks @Takhoffman.
 - Thinking defaults/status: raise the implicit default thinking level for reasoning-capable models from legacy `off`/`low` fallback behavior to a safe provider-supported `medium` equivalent when no explicit config default is set, preserve configured-model reasoning metadata when runtime catalog loading is empty, and make `/status` report the same resolved default as runtime (#70601). Thanks @Takhoffman.
-- Gateway/model pricing: extend OpenRouter and LiteLLM catalog fetch timeouts to 60 seconds, reducing noisy timeout warnings during slow upstream responses. Thanks @steipete.
+- Gateway/model pricing: fetch OpenRouter and LiteLLM pricing asynchronously at startup and extend catalog fetch timeouts to 30 seconds, reducing noisy timeout warnings during slow upstream responses.
 - Agents/failover: classify bare undici transport failures (`terminated`, `UND_ERR_SOCKET`, `UND_ERR_CONNECT_TIMEOUT`, body/header timeouts, aborted streams) and pi-ai's openai-codex `Request failed` sentinel as `timeout`, so Cloudflare 502s with empty bodies and mid-response socket resets actually enter the configured fallback chain instead of surfacing as unclassified errors. Fixes #69368. (#69677) Thanks @sk7n4k3d.
 - Providers/Anthropic Vertex: restore ADC-backed model discovery after the lightweight provider-discovery path by resolving emitted discovery entries, exposing synthetic auth on bootstrap discovery, and honoring copied env snapshots when probing the default GCP ADC path. Fixes #65715. (#65716) Thanks @feiskyer.
 - Plugins/install: add newly installed plugin ids to an existing `plugins.allow` list before enabling them, so allowlisted configs load installed plugins after restart.
@@ -878,7 +644,9 @@ Docs: https://docs.openclaw.ai
 - Config/includes: write through single-file top-level includes for isolated OpenClaw-owned mutations, so `plugins install` and `plugins update` update an included `plugins.json5` file instead of flattening modular `$include` configs. Fixes #41050 and #66048.
 - Config/reload: plan gateway reloads from source-authored config instead of runtime-materialized snapshots, so plugin update writes no longer trigger false restarts from derived provider/plugin config paths. Fixes #68732.
 - Plugins/update: skip npm plugin reinstall/config rewrites when the installed version and recorded artifact identity already match the registry target, let bare npm package names resolve back to tracked install records, and point already-installed `plugins install` attempts at `plugins update` / `--force` instead of a hook-pack fallback. Fixes #46955, #67957, and #68073.
-- Agents/MCP: keep `mcp.servers` and bundle MCP tools available in Pi embedded runs. `coding` and `messaging` sessions while preserving `minimal` profile and `tools.deny: ["bundle-mcp"]` opt-out behavior. Fixes #68875 and #68818.

 - Plugins/startup: tolerate transient bundled-channel catalog/metadata drift while auto-enabling configured plugins, so CLI and gateway startup no longer crash when a channel id is known but its display metadata is unavailable.
 - CLI/Claude: report CLI-backed reply runs as streaming while Claude/Codex CLI turns are still in flight, so WebChat keeps visible response state until the backend finishes. Fixes #70125.
 - Slack/streaming: fall back to normal Slack replies for Slack Connect streams rejected before the SDK flushes its local buffer, so short replies no longer disappear or report success before Slack acknowledges delivery. Fixes #70295. (#70370) Thanks @mvanhorn.

-<h3>Highlights</h3>
-<ul>
-<li>Google Meet joins OpenClaw as a bundled participant plugin, with personal Google auth, Chrome/Twilio realtime sessions, paired-node Chrome support, artifact/attendance exports, and recovery tooling for already-open Meet tabs.</li>
-<li>DeepSeek V4 Flash and V4 Pro are in the bundled catalog, V4 Flash is the onboarding default, and DeepSeek thinking/replay behavior is fixed for follow-up tool-call turns.</li>
-<li>Talk, Voice Call, and Google Meet can use realtime voice loops that consult the full OpenClaw agent for deeper tool-backed answers.</li>
-<li>Browser automation gets coordinate clicks, longer default action budgets, per-profile headless overrides, and steadier tab reuse/recovery.</li>
-<li>Plugin and model infrastructure is lighter at startup: static model catalogs, manifest-backed model rows, lazy provider dependencies, and external runtime-dependency repair for packaged installs.</li>
-</ul>
-<h3>Fixes</h3>
-<ul>
-<li>Packaged installs: preserve package-root runtime dependencies and their exported subpaths when bundled plugin runtime mirrors fall back to copying shared chunks, fixing Windows npm updates that could fail to load copied <code>dist</code> modules.</li>
-<li>Heartbeat: clamp oversized scheduler delays through the shared safe timer helper, preventing <code>every</code> values over Node's timeout cap from becoming a 1 ms crash loop. Fixes #71414. (#71478) Thanks @hclsys.</li>
-<li>Telegram: remove the startup persisted-offset <code>getUpdates</code> preflight so polling restarts do not self-conflict before the runner starts. Fixes #69304. (#69779) Thanks @chinar-amrutkar.</li>
-<li>Browser/Playwright: ignore benign already-handled route races during guarded navigation so browser-page tasks no longer fail when Playwright tears down a route mid-flight. (#68708) Thanks @Steady-ai.</li>
-<li>Browser/aria snapshots: bind <code>format=aria</code> <code>axN</code> refs to live DOM nodes through backend DOM ids when Playwright is available, so follow-up browser actions can use those refs without timing out. (#62434) Thanks @MrKipler.</li>
-<li>Telegram: prevent duplicate in-process long pollers for the same bot token and add clearer <code>getUpdates</code> conflict diagnostics for external duplicate pollers. Fixes #56230.</li>
-<li>Browser/Linux: detect Chromium-based installs under <code>/opt/google</code>, <code>/opt/brave.com</code>, <code>/usr/lib/chromium</code>, and <code>/usr/lib/chromium-browser</code> before asking users to set <code>browser.executablePath</code>. (#48563) Thanks @lupuletic.</li>
-<li>Sessions/browser: close tracked browser tabs when idle, daily, <code>/new</code>, or <code>/reset</code> session rollover archives the previous transcript, preventing tabs from leaking past the old session. Thanks @jakozloski.</li>
-<li>Sessions/forking: fall back to transcript-estimated parent token counts when cached totals are stale or missing, so oversized thread forks start fresh instead of cloning the full parent transcript. Thanks @jalehman.</li>
-<li>OpenAI/Codex: send Codex Responses system prompts through top-level</li>
-</ul>
-  <code>instructions</code> while preserving the existing native Codex payload controls.
-<ul>
-<li>MCP/CLI: retire bundled MCP runtimes at the end of one-shot <code>openclaw agent</code> and <code>openclaw infer model run</code> gateway/local executions, so repeated scripted runs do not accumulate stdio MCP child processes. Fixes #71457.</li>
-<li>OpenAI/Codex image generation: canonicalize legacy <code>openai-codex.baseUrl</code> values such as <code>https://chatgpt.com/backend-api</code> to the Codex Responses backend before calling <code>gpt-image-2</code>, matching the chat transport. Fixes #71460.</li>
-<li>Control UI: make <code>/usage</code> use the fresh context snapshot for context percentage, and include cache-write tokens in the Usage overview cache-hit denominator. Fixes #47885. Thanks @imwyvern and @Ante042.</li>
-<li>GitHub Copilot: preserve encrypted Responses reasoning item IDs during replay so Copilot can validate encrypted reasoning payloads across requests. (#71448) Thanks @a410979729-sys.</li>
-<li>Agents/replies: recover final-answer text when streamed assistant chunks contain only whitespace, preventing completed turns from surfacing as empty-payload errors. Fixes #71454. (#71467) Thanks @Sanjays2402.</li>
-<li>Feishu/TTS: transcode voice-intent MP3 and other audio replies to Ogg/Opus before sending native Feishu audio bubbles, while keeping ordinary MP3 attachments as files. Fixes #61249 and #37868.</li>
-<li>Telegram/webhook: acknowledge validated webhook updates before running bot middleware, keeping slow agent turns from tripping Telegram delivery retries while preserving per-chat processing lanes. Fixes #71392. Thanks @joelforsberg46-source.</li>
-<li>MCP: retire one-shot embedded bundled MCP runtimes at run end, skip bundle-MCP startup when a runtime tool allowlist cannot reach bundle-MCP tools, and add <code>mcp.sessionIdleTtlMs</code> idle eviction for leaked session runtimes. Fixes #71106, #71110, #70389, and #70808.</li>
-<li>MCP/config reload: hot-apply <code>mcp.*</code> changes by disposing cached session MCP runtimes, and dispose bundled MCP runtimes during gateway shutdown so removed <code>mcp.servers</code> entries reap child processes promptly. Fixes #60656.</li>
-<li>Gateway/restart continuation: durably hand restart continuations to a session-delivery queue before deleting the restart sentinel, recover queued continuation work after crashy restarts, and fall back to a session-only wake when no channel route survives reboot. (#70780) Thanks @fuller-stack-dev.</li>
-<li>Agents/tool-result pruning: harden the tool-result character estimator and context-pruning loops against malformed <code>{ type: "text" }</code> blocks created by void or undefined tool handler results, serializing non-string text payloads for size accounting so they cannot bypass trimming as zero-sized. Fixes #34979. (#51267) Thanks @cgdusek, @alvinttang, and @coffeexcoin.</li>
-<li>Daemon/service-env: add Nix Home Manager profile bin directories to generated gateway service PATHs on macOS and Linux, honoring <code>NIX_PROFILES</code> right-to-left precedence and falling back to <code>~/.nix-profile/bin</code> when unset. Fixes #44402. (#59935) Thanks @jerome-benoit.</li>

+            <description><![CDATA[<h2>OpenClaw 2026.4.15</h2>
+<h3>Changes</h3>
+<ul>
+<li>Anthropic/models: default Anthropic selections, <code>opus</code> aliases, Claude CLI defaults, and bundled image understanding to Claude Opus 4.7.</li>
+<li>Google/TTS: add Gemini text-to-speech support to the bundled <code>google</code> plugin, including provider registration, voice selection, WAV reply output, PCM telephony output, and setup/docs guidance. (#67515) Thanks @barronlroth.</li>
+<li>Control UI/Overview: add a Model Auth status card showing OAuth token health and provider rate-limit pressure at a glance, with attention callouts when OAuth tokens are expiring or expired. Backed by a new <code>models.authStatus</code> gateway method that strips credentials and caches for 60s. (#66211) Thanks @omarshahine.</li>
+<li>Memory/LanceDB: add cloud storage support to <code>memory-lancedb</code> so durable memory indexes can run on remote object storage instead of local disk only. (#63502) Thanks @rugvedS07.</li>
+<li>GitHub Copilot/memory search: add a GitHub Copilot embedding provider for memory search, and expose a dedicated Copilot embedding host helper so plugins can reuse the transport while honoring remote overrides, token refresh, and safer payload validation. (#61718) Thanks @feiskyer and @vincentkoc.</li>
+<li>Agents/local models: add experimental <code>agents.defaults.experimental.localModelLean: true</code> to drop heavyweight default tools like <code>browser</code>, <code>cron</code>, and <code>message</code>, reducing prompt size for weaker local-model setups without changing the normal path. (#66495) Thanks @ImLukeF.</li>
+<li>Packaging/plugins: localize bundled plugin runtime deps to their owning extensions, trim the published docs payload, and tighten install/package-manager guardrails so published builds stay leaner and core stops carrying extension-owned runtime baggage. (#67099) Thanks @vincentkoc.</li>
+<li>QA/Matrix: split Matrix live QA into a source-linked <code>qa-matrix</code> runner and keep repo-private <code>qa-*</code> surfaces out of packaged and published builds. (#66723) Thanks @gumadeiras.</li>
+<li>Docs/showcase: add a scannable hero, complete section jump links, and a responsive video grid for community examples. (#48493) Thanks @jchopard69.</li>
+</ul>
+<h3>Fixes</h3>
+<ul>
+<li>Gateway/tools: anchor trusted local <code>MEDIA:</code> tool-result passthrough on the exact raw name of this run's registered built-in tools, and reject client tool definitions whose names normalize-collide with a built-in or with another client tool in the same request (<code>400 invalid_request_error</code> on both JSON and SSE paths), so a client-supplied tool named like a built-in can no longer inherit its local-media trust. (#67303)</li>
+<li>Agents/replay recovery: classify the provider wording <code>401 input item ID does not belong to this connection</code> as replay-invalid, so users get the existing <code>/new</code> session reset guidance instead of a raw 401-style failure. (#66475) Thanks @dallylee.</li>
+<li>Gateway/webchat: enforce localRoots containment on webchat audio embedding path [AI-assisted]. (#67298) Thanks @pgondhi987.</li>
+<li>Matrix/pairing: block DM pairing-store entries from authorizing room control commands [AI-assisted]. (#67294) Thanks @pgondhi987.</li>
+<li>Docker/build: verify <code>@matrix-org/matrix-sdk-crypto-nodejs</code> native bindings with <code>find</code> under <code>node_modules</code> instead of a hardcoded <code>.pnpm/...</code> path so pnpm v10+ virtual-store layouts no longer fail the image build. (#67143) thanks @ly85206559.</li>
+<li>Matrix/E2EE: keep startup bootstrap conservative for passwordless token-auth bots, still attempt the guarded repair pass without requiring <code>channels.matrix.password</code>, and document the remaining password-UIA limitation. (#66228) Thanks @SARAMALI15792.</li>
+<li>Cron/announce delivery: suppress mixed-content isolated cron announce replies that end with <code>NO_REPLY</code> so trailing silent sentinels no longer leak summary text to the target channel. (#65004) thanks @neo1027144-creator.</li>
+<li>Plugins/bundled channels: partition bundled channel lazy caches by active bundled root so <code>OPENCLAW_BUNDLED_PLUGINS_DIR</code> flips stop reusing stale plugin, setup, secrets, and runtime state. (#67200) Thanks @gumadeiras.</li>
+<li>Packaging/plugins: prune common test/spec cargo from bundled plugin runtime dependencies and fail npm release validation if packaged test cargo reappears, keeping published tarballs leaner without plugin-specific special cases. (#67275) thanks @gumadeiras.</li>
+<li>Agents/context + Memory: trim default startup/skills prompt budgets, cap <code>memory_get</code> excerpts by default with explicit continuation metadata, and keep QMD reads aligned with the same bounded excerpt contract so long sessions pull less context by default without losing deterministic follow-up reads.</li>
+<li>Matrix/commands: skip DM pairing-store reads on room traffic now that room control-command authorization ignores pairing-store entries, keeping the room path narrower without changing room auth behavior. (#67325) Thanks @gumadeiras.</li>
+<li>Memory-core/dreaming: skip dreaming narrative transcripts from session-store metadata before bootstrap records land so dream diary prompt/prose lines do not pollute session ingestion. (#67315) thanks @jalehman.</li>
+<li>Agents/local models: clarify low-context preflight hints for self-hosted models, point config-backed caps at the relevant OpenClaw setting, and stop suggesting larger models when <code>agents.defaults.contextTokens</code> is the real limit. (#66236) Thanks @ImLukeF.</li>
+<li>Dreaming/memory-core: change the default <code>dreaming.storage.mode</code> from <code>inline</code> to <code>separate</code> so Dreaming phase blocks (<code>## Light Sleep</code>, <code>## REM Sleep</code>) land in <code>memory/dreaming/{phase}/YYYY-MM-DD.md</code> instead of being injected into <code>memory/YYYY-MM-DD.md</code>. Daily memory files no longer get dominated by structured candidate output, and the daily-ingestion scanner that already strips dream marker blocks no longer has to compete with hundreds of phase-block lines on every run. Operators who want the previous behavior can opt in by setting <code>plugins.entries.memory-core.config.dreaming.storage.mode: "inline"</code>. (#66412) Thanks @mjamiv.</li>
+<li>Control UI/Overview: fix false-positive "missing" alerts on the Model Auth status card for aliased providers, env-backed OAuth with auth.profiles, and unresolvable env SecretRefs. (#67253) Thanks @omarshahine.</li>
+<li>Dashboard: constrain exec approval modal overflow on desktop so long command content no longer pushes action buttons out of view. (#67082) Thanks @Ziy1-Tan.</li>
+<li>Agents/CLI transcripts: persist successful CLI-backed turns into the OpenClaw session transcript so google-gemini-cli replies appear in session history and the Control UI again. (#67490) Thanks @obviyus.</li>
+<li>Discord/tool-call text: strip standalone Gemma-style <code><function>...</function></code> tool-call payloads from visible assistant text without truncating prose examples or trailing replies. (#67318) Thanks @joelnishanth.</li>
+<li>WhatsApp/web-session: drain the pending per-auth creds save queue before reopening sockets so reconnect-time auth bootstrap no longer races in-flight <code>creds.json</code> writes and falsely restores from backup. (#67464) Thanks @neeravmakwana.</li>
+<li>BlueBubbles/catchup: add a per-message retry ceiling (<code>catchup.maxFailureRetries</code>, default 10) so a persistently-failing message with a malformed payload no longer wedges the catchup cursor forever. After N consecutive <code>processMessage</code> failures against the same GUID, catchup logs a WARN, skips that message on subsequent sweeps, and lets the cursor advance past it. Transient failures still retry from the same point as before. Also fixes a lost-update race in the persistent dedupe file lock that silently dropped inbound GUIDs on concurrent writes, a dedupe file naming migration gap on version upgrade, and a balloon-event bypass that let catchup replay debouncer-coalesced events as standalone messages. (#67426, #66870) Thanks @omarshahine.</li>
+<li>Ollama/chat: strip the <code>ollama/</code> provider prefix from Ollama chat request model ids so configured refs like <code>ollama/qwen3:14b-q8_0</code> stop 404ing against the Ollama API. (#67457) Thanks @suboss87.</li>
+<li>Agents/tools: resolve non-workspace host tilde paths against the OS home directory and keep edit recovery aligned with that same path target, so <code>~/...</code> host edit/write operations stop failing or reading back the wrong file when <code>OPENCLAW_HOME</code> differs. (#62804) Thanks @stainlu.</li>
+<li>Speech/TTS: auto-enable the bundled Microsoft and ElevenLabs speech providers, and route generic TTS directive tokens through the explicit or active provider first so overrides like <code>[[tts:speed=1.2]]</code> stop silently landing on the wrong provider. (#62846) Thanks @stainlu.</li>
+<li>OpenAI Codex/models: normalize stale native transport metadata in both runtime resolution and discovery/listing so legacy <code>openai-codex</code> rows with missing <code>api</code> or <code>https://chatgpt.com/backend-api/v1</code> self-heal to the canonical Codex transport instead of routing requests through broken HTML/Cloudflare paths, combining the original fixes proposed in #66969 (saamuelng601-pixel) and #67159 (hclsys). (#67635)</li>
+<li>Agents/failover: treat HTML provider error pages as upstream transport failures for CDN-style 5xx responses without misclassifying embedded body text as API rate limits, while still preserving auth remediation for HTML 401/403 pages and proxy remediation for HTML 407 pages. (#67642) Thanks @stainlu.</li>
+<li>Gateway/skills: bump the cached skills-snapshot version whenever a config write touches <code>skills.*</code> (for example <code>skills.allowBundled</code>, <code>skills.entries.<id>.enabled</code>, or <code>skills.profile</code>). Existing agent sessions persist a <code>skillsSnapshot</code> in <code>sessions.json</code> that reuses the skill list frozen at session creation; without this invalidation, removing a bundled skill from the allowlist left the old snapshot live and the model kept calling the disabled tool, producing <code>Tool <name> not found</code> loops that ran until the embedded-run timeout. (#67401) Thanks @xantorres.</li>
+<li>Agents/tool-loop: enable the unknown-tool stream guard by default. Previously <code>resolveUnknownToolGuardThreshold</code> returned <code>undefined</code> unless <code>tools.loopDetection.enabled</code> was explicitly set to <code>true</code>, which left the protection off in the default configuration. A hallucinated or removed tool (for example <code>himalaya</code> after it was dropped from <code>skills.allowBundled</code>) would then loop "Tool X not found" attempts until the full embedded-run timeout. The guard has no false-positive surface because it only triggers on tools that are objectively not registered in the run, so it now stays on regardless of <code>tools.loopDetection.enabled</code> and still accepts <code>tools.loopDetection.unknownToolThreshold</code> as a per-run override (default 10). (#67401) Thanks @xantorres.</li>
+<li>TUI/streaming: add a client-side streaming watchdog to <code>tui-event-handlers</code> so the <code>streaming · Xm Ys</code> activity indicator resets to <code>idle</code> after 30s of delta silence on the active run. Guards against lost or late <code>state: "final"</code> chat events (WS reconnects, gateway restarts, etc.) leaving the TUI stuck on <code>streaming</code> indefinitely; a new system log line surfaces the reset so users know to send a new message to resync. The window is configurable via the new <code>streamingWatchdogMs</code> context option (set to <code>0</code> to disable), and the handler now exposes a <code>dispose()</code> that clears the pending timer on shutdown. (#67401) Thanks @xantorres.</li>
+<li>Extensions/lmstudio: add exponential backoff to the inference-preload wrapper so an LM Studio model-load failure (for example the built-in memory guardrail rejecting a load because the swap is saturated) no longer produces a WARN line every ~2s for every chat request. The wrapper now records consecutive preload failures per <code>(baseUrl, modelKey, contextLength)</code> tuple with a 5s → 10s → 20s → … → 5min cooldown and skips the preload step entirely while a cooldown is active, letting chat requests proceed directly to the stream (the model is often already loaded via the LM Studio UI). The combined <code>preload failed</code> log line now reports consecutive-failure count and remaining cooldown so operators can act on the real issue instead of drowning in repeated warnings. (#67401) Thanks @xantorres.</li>
+<li>Agents/replay: re-run tool/result pairing after strict replay tool-call ID sanitization on outbound requests so Anthropic-compatible providers like MiniMax no longer receive malformed orphan tool-result IDs such as <code>...toolresult1</code> during compaction and retry flows. (#67620) Thanks @stainlu.</li>
+<li>Gateway/startup: fix spurious SIGUSR1 restart loop on Linux/systemd when plugin auto-enable is the only startup config write; the config hash guard was not captured for that write path, causing chokidar to treat each boot write as an external change and trigger a reload → restart cycle that corrupts manifest.db after repeated cycles. Fixes #67436. (#67557) thanks @openperf</li>
+<li>Codex/harness: auto-enable the Codex plugin when <code>codex</code> is selected as an embedded agent harness runtime, including forced default, per-agent, and <code>OPENCLAW_AGENT_RUNTIME</code> paths. (#67474) Thanks @duqaXxX.</li>
+<li>OpenAI Codex/CLI: keep resumed <code>codex exec resume</code> runs on the safe non-interactive path without reintroducing the removed dangerous bypass flag by passing the supported <code>--skip-git-repo-check</code> resume arg plus Codex's native <code>sandbox_mode="workspace-write"</code> config override. (#67666) Thanks @plgonzalezrx8.</li>
+<li>Codex/app-server: parse Desktop-originated app-server user agents such as <code>Codex Desktop/0.118.0</code>, keeping the version gate working when the Codex CLI inherits a multi-word originator. (#64666) Thanks @cyrusaf.</li>
+<li>Cron/announce delivery: keep isolated announce <code>NO_REPLY</code> stripping case-insensitive across direct and text delivery, preserve structured media-only sends when a caption strips silent, and derive main-session awareness from the cleaned payloads so silent captions no longer leak stale <code>NO_REPLY</code> text. (#65016) Thanks @BKF-Gitty.</li>
+<li>Sessions/Codex: skip redundant <code>delivery-mirror</code> transcript appends only when the latest assistant message has the same visible text, preventing duplicate visible replies on Codex-backed turns without suppressing repeated answers across turns. (#67185) Thanks @andyylin.</li>
+<li>Auto-reply/prompt-cache: keep volatile inbound chat IDs out of the stable system prompt so task-scoped adapters can reuse prompt caches across runs, while preserving conversation metadata for the user turn and media-only messages. (#65071) Thanks @MonkeyLeeT.</li>
+<li>BlueBubbles/inbound: restore inbound image attachment downloads on Node 22+ by stripping incompatible bundled-undici dispatchers from the non-SSRF fetch path, accept <code>updated-message</code> webhooks carrying attachments, use event-type-aware dedup keys so attachment follow-ups are not rejected as duplicates, and retry attachment fetch from the BB API when the initial webhook arrives with an empty array. (#64105, #61861, #65430, #67510) Thanks @omarshahine.</li>
+<li>Agents/skills: sort prompt-facing <code>available_skills</code> entries by skill name after merging sources so <code>skills.load.extraDirs</code> order no longer changes prompt-cache prefixes. (#64198) Thanks @Bartok9.</li>
+<li>Agents/OpenAI Responses: add <code>models.providers.*.models.*.compat.supportsPromptCacheKey</code> so OpenAI-compatible proxies that forward <code>prompt_cache_key</code> can keep prompt caching enabled while incompatible endpoints can still force stripping. (#67427) Thanks @damselem.</li>
+<li>Agents/context engines: keep loop-hook and final <code>afterTurn</code> prompt-cache touch metadata aligned with the current assistant turn so cache-aware context engines retain accurate cache TTL state during tool loops. (#67767) thanks @jalehman.</li>
+<li>Memory/dreaming: strip AI-facing inbound metadata envelopes from session-corpus user turns before normalization so REM topic extraction sees the user's actual message text, including array-shaped split envelopes. (#66548) Thanks @zqchris.</li>
+<li>Agents/errors: detect standalone Cloudflare/CDN HTML challenge pages before transport DNS classification so provider block pages no longer appear as local DNS lookup failures. (#67704) Thanks @chris-yyau.</li>
+<li>Security/approvals: redact secrets in exec approval prompts so inline approval review can no longer leak credential material in rendered prompt content. (#61077, #64790)</li>
+<li>CLI/configure: re-read the persisted config hash after writes so config updates stop failing with stale-hash races. (#64188, #66528)</li>
+<li>CLI/update: prune stale packaged <code>dist</code> chunks after npm upgrades and keep downgrade/verify inventory checks compat-safe so global upgrades stop failing on stale chunk imports. (#66959) Thanks @obviyus.</li>
+<li>Onboarding/CLI: fix channel-selection crashes on globally installed CLI setups during onboarding. (#66736)</li>
+<li>Video generation/live tests: bound provider polling for live video smoke, default to the fast non-FAL text-to-video path, and use a one-second lobster prompt so release validation no longer waits indefinitely on slow provider queues.</li>
+<li>Memory-core/QMD <code>memory_get</code>: reject reads of arbitrary workspace markdown paths and only allow canonical memory files (<code>MEMORY.md</code>, <code>memory.md</code>, <code>DREAMS.md</code>, <code>dreams.md</code>, <code>memory/**</code>) plus exact paths of active indexed QMD workspace documents, so the QMD memory backend can no longer be used as a generic workspace-file read shim that bypasses <code>read</code> tool-policy denials. (#66026) Thanks @eleqtrizit.</li>
+<li>Cron/agents: forward embedded-run tool policy and internal event params into the attempt layer so <code>--tools</code> allowlists, cron-owned message-tool suppression, explicit message targeting, and command-path internal events all take effect at runtime again. (#62675) Thanks @hexsprite.</li>
+<li>Setup/providers: guard preferred-provider lookup during setup so malformed plugin metadata with a missing provider id no longer crashes the wizard with <code>Cannot read properties of undefined (reading 'trim')</code>. (#66649) Thanks @Tianworld.</li>
+<li>Matrix/security: normalize sandboxed profile avatar params, preserve <code>mxc://</code> avatar URLs, and surface gmail watcher stop failures during reload. (#64701) Thanks @slepybear.</li>
+<li>Telegram/documents: drop leaked binary caption bytes from inbound Telegram text handling so document uploads like <code>.mobi</code> or <code>.epub</code> no longer explode prompt token counts. (#66663) Thanks @joelnishanth.</li>
+<li>Gateway/auth: resolve the active gateway bearer per-request on the HTTP server and the HTTP upgrade handler via <code>getResolvedAuth()</code>, mirroring the WebSocket path, so a secret rotated through <code>secrets.reload</code> or config hot-reload stops authenticating on <code>/v1/*</code>, <code>/tools/invoke</code>, plugin HTTP routes, and the canvas upgrade path immediately instead of remaining valid on HTTP until gateway restart. (#66651) Thanks @mmaps.</li>
+<li>Agents/compaction: cap the compaction reserve-token floor to the model context window so small-context local models (e.g. Ollama with 16K tokens) no longer trigger context-overflow errors or infinite compaction loops on every prompt. (#65671) Thanks @openperf.</li>
+<li>Agents/OpenAI Responses: classify the exact <code>Unknown error (no error details in response)</code> transport failure as failover reason <code>unknown</code> so assistant/model fallback still runs for that no-details failure path. (#65254) Thanks @OpenCodeEngineer.</li>
+<li>Models/probe: surface invalid-model probe failures as <code>format</code> instead of <code>unknown</code> in <code>models list --probe</code>, and lock the invalid-model fallback path in with regression coverage. (#50028) Thanks @xiwuqi.</li>
+<li>Agents/failover: classify OpenAI-compatible <code>finish_reason: network_error</code> stream failures as timeout so model fallback retries continue instead of stopping with an unknown failover reason. (#61784) thanks @lawrence3699.</li>
+<li>Onboarding/channels: normalize channel setup metadata before discovery and validation so malformed or mixed-shape channel plugin metadata no longer breaks setup and onboarding channel lists. (#66706) Thanks @darkamenosa.</li>
+<li>Slack/native commands: fix option menus for slash commands such as <code>/verbose</code> when Slack renders native buttons by giving each button a unique action ID while still routing them through the shared <code>openclaw_cmdarg*</code> listener. Thanks @Wangmerlyn.</li>
+<li>Feishu/webhook: harden the webhook transport and card-action replay guards to fail closed on missing <code>encryptKey</code> and blank callback tokens — refuse to start the webhook transport without an <code>encryptKey</code>, reject unsigned requests when no key is present instead of accepting them, and drop blank card-action tokens before the dedupe claim and dispatcher. Defense-in-depth over the already-closed monitor-account layer. (#66707) Thanks @eleqtrizit.</li>
+<li>Agents/workspace files: route <code>agents.files.get</code>, <code>agents.files.set</code>, and workspace listing through the shared <code>fs-safe</code> helpers (<code>openFileWithinRoot</code>/<code>readFileWithinRoot</code>/<code>writeFileWithinRoot</code>), reject symlink aliases for allowlisted agent files, and have <code>fs-safe</code> resolve opened-file real paths from the file descriptor before falling back to path-based <code>realpath</code> so a symlink swap between <code>open</code> and <code>realpath</code> can no longer redirect the validated path off the intended inode. (#66636) Thanks @eleqtrizit.</li>
+<li>Gateway/MCP loopback: switch the <code>/mcp</code> bearer comparison from plain <code>!==</code> to constant-time <code>safeEqualSecret</code> (matching the convention every other auth surface in the codebase uses), and reject non-loopback browser-origin requests via <code>checkBrowserOrigin</code> before the auth gate runs. Loopback origins (<code>127.0.0.1:*</code>, <code>localhost:*</code>, same-origin) still go through, including the <code>localhost</code>↔<code>127.0.0.1</code> host mismatch that browsers flag as <code>Sec-Fetch-Site: cross-site</code>. (#66665) Thanks @eleqtrizit.</li>
+<li>Auto-reply/billing: classify pure billing cooldown fallback summaries from structured fallback reasons so users see billing guidance instead of the generic failure reply. (#66363) Thanks @Rohan5commit.</li>
+<li>Agents/fallback: preserve the original prompt body on model fallback retries with session history so the retrying model keeps the active task instead of only seeing a generic continue message. (#66029) Thanks @WuKongAI-CMU.</li>
+<li>Reply/secrets: resolve active reply channel/account SecretRefs before reply-run message-action discovery so channel token SecretRefs (for example Discord) do not degrade into discovery-time unresolved-secret failures. (#66796) Thanks @joshavant.</li>
+<li>Agents/Anthropic: ignore non-positive Anthropic Messages token overrides and fail locally when no positive token budget remains, so invalid <code>max_tokens</code> values no longer reach the provider API. (#66664) thanks @jalehman</li>
+<li>Agents/context engines: preserve prompt-only token counts, not full request totals, when deferred maintenance reuses after-turn runtime context so background compaction bookkeeping matches the active prompt window. (#66820) thanks @jalehman.</li>
+<li>BlueBubbles/inbound: add a persistent file-backed GUID dedupe so MessagePoller webhook replays after BB Server restart or reconnect no longer cause the agent to re-reply to already-handled messages. (#19176, #12053, #66816) Thanks @omarshahine.</li>
+<li>Secrets/plugins/status: align SecretRef inspect-vs-strict handling across plugin preload, read-only status/agents surfaces, and runtime auth paths so unresolved refs no longer crash read-only CLI flows while runtime-required non-env refs stay strict. (#66818) Thanks @joshavant.</li>
+<li>Memory/dreaming: stop ordinary transcripts that merely quote the dream-diary prompt from being classified as internal dreaming runs and silently dropped from session recall ingestion. (#66852) Thanks @gumadeiras.</li>
+<li>Telegram/documents: sanitize binary reply context and ZIP-like archive extraction so <code>.epub</code> and <code>.mobi</code> uploads can no longer leak raw binary into prompt context through reply metadata or archive-to-<code>text/plain</code> coercion. (#66877) Thanks @martinfrancois.</li>
+<li>Telegram/native commands: restore plugin-registry-backed auto defaults for native commands and native skills so Telegram slash commands keep registering when <code>commands.native</code> and <code>commands.nativeSkills</code> stay on <code>auto</code>. (#66843) Thanks @kashevk0.</li>
+<li>OpenRouter/Qwen3: parse <code>reasoning_details</code> stream deltas as thinking content without skipping same-chunk tool calls, so Qwen3 replies no longer fail empty on OpenRouter and mixed reasoning/tool-call chunks still execute normally. (#66905) Thanks @bladin.</li>
+<li>BlueBubbles/catchup: replay missed webhook messages after gateway restart via a persistent per-account cursor and <code>/api/v1/message/query?after=<ts></code> pass, so messages delivered while the gateway was down no longer disappear. Uses the existing <code>processMessage</code> path and is deduped by #66816's inbound GUID cache. (#66857, #66721) Thanks @omarshahine.</li>
+<li>Telegram/native commands: keep Telegram command-sync cache process-local so gateway restarts re-register the menu instead of trusting stale on-disk sync state after Telegram cleared commands out-of-band. (#66730) Thanks @nightq.</li>
+<li>Audio/self-hosted STT: restore <code>models.providers.*.request.allowPrivateNetwork</code> for audio transcription so private or LAN speech-to-text endpoints stop tripping SSRF blocks after the v2026.4.14 regression. (#66692) Thanks @jhsmith409.</li>
+<li>Auto-reply/media: allow workspace-rooted absolute media paths in auto-reply send flows so valid local media references no longer fail path validation. (#66689)</li>
+<li>WhatsApp/Baileys media upload: harden encrypted upload handling so large outbound media sends avoid buffer spikes and reliability regressions. (#65966) Thanks @frankekn.</li>
+<li>QQBot/cron: guard against undefined <code>event.content</code> in <code>parseFaceTags</code> and <code>filterInternalMarkers</code> so cron-triggered agent turns with no content payload no longer crash with <code>TypeError: Cannot read properties of undefined (reading 'startsWith')</code>. (#66302) Thanks @xinmotlanthua.</li>
+<li>CLI/plugins: stop <code>--dangerously-force-unsafe-install</code> plugin installs from falling back to hook-pack installs after security scan failures, while still preserving non-security fallback behavior for real hook packs. (#58909) Thanks @hxy91819.</li>
+<li>Claude CLI/sessions: classify <code>No conversation found with session ID</code> as <code>session_expired</code> so expired CLI-backed conversations clear the stale binding and recover on the next turn. (#65028) thanks @Ivan-Fn.</li>
+<li>Context Engine: gracefully fall back to the legacy engine when a third-party context engine plugin fails at resolution time (unregistered id, factory throw, or contract violation), preventing a full gateway outage on every channel. (#66930) Thanks @openperf.</li>
+<li>Control UI/chat: keep optimistic user message cards visible during active sends by deferring same-session history reloads until the active run ends, including aborted and errored runs. (#66997) Thanks @scotthuang and @vincentkoc.</li>
+<li>Media/Slack: allow host-local CSV and Markdown uploads only when the fallback buffer actually decodes as text, so real plain-text files work without letting opaque non-text blobs renamed to <code>.csv</code> or <code>.md</code> slip past the host-read guard. (#67047) Thanks @Unayung.</li>
+<li>Ollama/onboarding: split setup into <code>Cloud + Local</code>, <code>Cloud only</code>, and <code>Local only</code>, support direct <code>OLLAMA_API_KEY</code> cloud setup without a local daemon, and keep Ollama web search on the local-host path. (#67005) Thanks @obviyus.</li>
+<li>Webchat/security: reject remote-host <code>file://</code> URLs in the media embedding path. (#67293) Thanks @pgondhi987.</li>
+<li>Dreaming/memory-core: use the ingestion day, not the source file day, for daily recall dedupe so repeat sweeps of the same daily note can increment <code>dailyCount</code> across days instead of stalling at <code>1</code>. (#67091) Thanks @Bartok9.</li>
+<li>Node-host/tools.exec: let approval binding distinguish known native binaries from mutable shell payload files, while still fail-closing unknown or racy file probes so absolute-path node-host commands like <code>/usr/bin/whoami</code> no longer get rejected as unsafe interpreter/runtime commands. (#66731) Thanks @tmimmanuel.</li>

-<Note>
-Task reconciliation for cron is runtime-owned first, durable-history-backed second: an active cron task stays live while the cron runtime still tracks that job as running, even if an old child session row still exists. Once the runtime stops owning the job and the 5-minute grace window expires, maintenance checks persisted run logs and job state for the matching `cron:<jobId>:<startedAt>` run. If that durable history shows a terminal result, the task ledger is finalized from it; otherwise Gateway-owned maintenance can mark the task `lost`. Offline CLI audit can recover from durable history, but it does not treat its own empty in-process active-job set as proof that a Gateway-owned cron run is gone.

-Agent run completion is authoritative for active task records. A successful detached run finalizes as `succeeded`, ordinary run errors finalize as `failed`, and timeout or abort outcomes finalize as `timed_out`. If an operator already cancelled the task, or the runtime already recorded a stronger terminal state such as `failed`, `timed_out`, or `lost`, a later success signal does not downgrade that terminal status.

 - OpenClaw talks to it through its REST API (`GET /api/v1/ping`, `POST /message/text`, `POST /chat/:id/*`).
 - Incoming messages arrive via webhooks; outgoing replies, typing indicators, read receipts, and tapbacks are REST calls.
 - Attachments and stickers are ingested as inbound media (and surfaced to the agent when possible).
-- Auto-TTS replies that synthesize MP3 or CAF audio are delivered as iMessage voice memo bubbles instead of plain file attachments.
 - Pairing/allowlist works the same way as other channels (`/channels/pairing` etc) with `channels.bluebubbles.allowFrom` + pairing codes.
 - Reactions are surfaced as system events just like Slack/Telegram so agents can "mention" them before replying.
 - Advanced features: edit, unsend, reply threading, message effects, group management.

+Yes — this works well if your “personal” traffic is **DMs** and your “public” traffic is **groups**.
 
 Why: in single-agent mode, DMs typically land in the **main** session key (`agent:main:main`), while groups always use **non-main** session keys (`agent:main:<channel>:group:<id>`). If you enable sandboxing with `mode: "non-main"`, those group sessions run in the configured sandbox backend while your main DM session stays on-host.

 ## Group/channel tool restrictions (optional)
 
 Some channel configs support restricting which tools are available **inside a specific group/room/channel**.
 
 - `tools`: allow/deny tools for the whole group.
-- `toolsBySender`: per-sender overrides within the group. Use explicit key prefixes: `id:<senderId>`, `e164:<phone>`, `username:<handle>`, `name:<displayName>`, and `"*"` wildcard. Legacy unprefixed keys are still accepted and matched as `id:` only.

+1. Ensure the Microsoft Teams plugin is available.
+   - Current packaged OpenClaw releases already bundle it.
+   - Older/custom installs can add it manually with the commands above.
+2. Create an **Azure Bot** (App ID + client secret + tenant ID).
+3. Configure OpenClaw with those credentials.
+4. Expose `/api/messages` (port 3978 by default) via a public URL or tunnel.
+5. Install the Teams app package and start the gateway.

-devtunnel create my-openclaw-bot --allow-anonymous
-devtunnel port create my-openclaw-bot -p 3978 --protocol auto
-
-# Each dev session:
-devtunnel host my-openclaw-bot
-# Your endpoint: https://<tunnel-id>.devtunnels.ms/api/messages
-```
-
-> **Note:** `--allow-anonymous` is required because Teams can't authenticate with devtunnels. Each incoming bot request is still validated by the Teams SDK automatically.

 ## Runtime model
 
 - Gateway owns the WhatsApp socket and reconnect loop.
-- The reconnect watchdog uses WhatsApp Web transport activity, not only inbound app-message volume, so a quiet linked-device session is not restarted solely because nobody has sent a message recently. A longer application-silence cap still forces a reconnect if transport frames keep arriving but no application messages are handled for the watchdog window.
 - Outbound sends require an active WhatsApp listener for the target account.
 - Status and broadcast chats are ignored (`@status`, `@broadcast`).
 - Direct chats use DM session rules (`session.dmScope`; default `main` collapses DMs to the agent main session).
 - Group sessions are isolated (`agent:<agentId>:whatsapp:group:<jid>`).
 - WhatsApp Web transport honors standard proxy environment variables on the gateway host (`HTTPS_PROXY`, `HTTP_PROXY`, `NO_PROXY` / lowercase variants). Prefer host-level proxy config over channel-specific WhatsApp proxy settings.
-- When `messages.removeAckAfterReply` is enabled, OpenClaw clears the WhatsApp ack reaction after a visible reply is delivered.
