-## 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.

-## Close low-signal manual PRs carefully

-- Do not close for red CI alone. Require a clear low-signal category plus stale or failed validation.
-- Good manual-close categories:
-  - blank or mostly untouched PR template with no concrete OpenClaw problem/fix
-  - random docs-only churn such as root README translations, generic wording tweaks, or community-plugin discoverability docs that should go through ClawHub
-  - test-only coverage without a linked bug, owner request, or behavior change
-  - refactor-only cleanup, variable renames, formatting, or generated/baseline churn without maintainer request
-  - third-party channel/provider/tool/skill/plugin work that belongs on ClawHub instead of core
-  - risky ops/infra drive-bys such as new external CI services, release workflows, host upgrade scripts, Docker base migrations, or apt retry/fix-missing tweaks without owner request and green validation
-  - dirty branches where a narrow stated change includes unrelated docs/generated/runtime/extension files
-  - repeated bot-review spam or copied bot output without author-owned fixes
-- Keep or escalate plausible focused bug fixes, green PRs, active maintainer discussions, assigned work, recent author follow-up, and unique reproduction details.

-# 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.

 ## Start
 
 - Repo: `https://github.com/openclaw/openclaw`
-- Replies: repo-root refs only: `extensions/telegram/src/index.ts:80`. No absolute paths, no `~/`.
-- Run docs list first: `pnpm docs:list` if available; read relevant docs only.
-- High-confidence answers only when fixing/triaging: verify source, tests, shipped/current behavior, and dependency contracts before deciding.
-- Dependency-backed behavior: read upstream dependency docs/source/types first. Do not assume APIs, defaults, errors, timing, or runtime behavior.
-- Live-verify when feasible. Check env/`~/.profile` for keys before assuming live tests are blocked; keep secret output redacted.
-- Missing deps: `pnpm install`, retry once, then report first actionable error.
-- CODEOWNERS: maint/refactor/tests ok. Larger behavior/product/security/ownership: owner ask/review.
-- Wording: product/docs/UI/changelog say "plugin/plugins"; `extensions/` is internal.
-- New channel/plugin/app/doc surface: update `.github/labeler.yml` + GH labels.
-- New `AGENTS.md`: add sibling `CLAUDE.md` symlink.

 ## Architecture
 
-- Core stays extension-agnostic. No bundled ids in core when manifest/registry/capability contracts work.
-- Extensions cross into core only via `openclaw/plugin-sdk/*`, manifest metadata, injected runtime helpers, documented barrels (`api.ts`, `runtime-api.ts`).
-- Extension prod code: no core `src/**`, `src/plugin-sdk-internal/**`, other extension `src/**`, or relative outside package.
-- Core/tests: no deep plugin internals (`extensions/*/src/**`, `onboard.js`). Use `api.ts`, SDK facade, generic contracts.
-- Extension-owned behavior stays extension-owned: repair, detection, onboarding, auth/provider defaults, provider tools/settings.
-- Owner boundary: fix owner-specific behavior in the owner module. Shared/core gets generic seams only; no owner ids, dependency strings, defaults, migrations, or recovery policy. If a bug names an extension or its dependency, start in that extension and add a generic core seam only when multiple owners need it.
-- Legacy config repair: doctor/fix paths, not startup/load-time core migrations.
-- Core test asserting extension-specific behavior: move to owner extension or generic contract test.
+- Core must stay extension-agnostic. No core special cases for bundled plugin/provider/channel ids when manifest/registry/capability contracts can express it.
+- Extensions cross into core only via `openclaw/plugin-sdk/*`, manifest metadata, injected runtime helpers, and documented local barrels (`api.ts`, `runtime-api.ts`).
+- Extension production code must not import core `src/**`, `src/plugin-sdk-internal/**`, another extension's `src/**`, or relative paths outside its package.
+- Core code/tests must not deep-import plugin internals (`extensions/*/src/**`, `onboard.js`). Use plugin `api.ts` / public SDK facade / generic contract.
+- Extension-owned behavior stays in the extension: legacy repair, detection, onboarding, auth/provider defaults, provider tools/settings.
+- Legacy config repair: prefer doctor/fix paths over startup/load-time core migrations.
+- If a core test asserts extension-specific behavior, move it to the owning extension or a generic contract test.
 - New seams: backwards-compatible, documented, versioned. Third-party plugins exist.
-- Channels: `src/channels/**` is implementation; plugin authors get SDK seams.
-- Providers: core owns generic loop; provider plugins own auth/catalog/runtime hooks.
-- Gateway protocol changes: additive first; incompatible needs versioning/docs/client follow-through.
-- Config contract: exported types, schema/help, metadata, baselines, docs aligned. Retired public keys stay retired; compat in raw migration/doctor.
-- Direction: manifest-first control plane; targeted runtime loaders; no hidden contract bypasses; broad mutable registries transitional.
-- Prompt cache: deterministic ordering for maps/sets/registries/plugin lists/files/network results before model/tool payloads. Preserve old transcript bytes when possible.

 ## Commands
 
-- Runtime: Node 22+. Keep Node + Bun paths working.
-- Install: `pnpm install` (keep Bun lock/patches aligned if touched).
-- CLI: `pnpm openclaw ...` or `pnpm dev`; build: `pnpm build`.
-- Smart gate: `pnpm check:changed`; explain `pnpm changed:lanes --json`; staged preview `pnpm check:changed --staged`.
-- Sparse worktrees: `pnpm check:changed` is sparse-safe and may skip sparse-missing typecheck projects; do not expand sparse checkout just to satisfy changed-gate tsgo. Direct `pnpm tsgo*` remains strict; use a fuller worktree when you need direct typecheck proof.
-- Prod sweep: `pnpm check`; tests: `pnpm test`, `pnpm test:changed`, `pnpm test:serial`, `pnpm test:coverage`.
-- Extension tests: `pnpm test:extensions`, `pnpm test extensions`, `pnpm test extensions/<id>`.
-- Targeted tests: `pnpm test <path-or-filter> [vitest args...]`; never raw `vitest`.
-- Typecheck: `tsgo` lanes only (`pnpm tsgo*`, `pnpm check:test-types`); do not add `tsc --noEmit`, `typecheck`, `check:types`.
-- Formatting: use `oxfmt`, not Prettier. Prefer `pnpm format:check` / `pnpm format`; for targeted files use `pnpm exec oxfmt --check --threads=1 <files...>` or `pnpm exec oxfmt --write --threads=1 <files...>`.
-- Linting: use repo wrappers (`pnpm lint:*`, `scripts/run-oxlint.mjs`); do not invoke generic JS formatters/lints unless a repo script uses them.
-- Heavy checks: `OPENCLAW_LOCAL_CHECK=1`, mode `OPENCLAW_LOCAL_CHECK_MODE=throttled|full`; CI/shared use `OPENCLAW_LOCAL_CHECK=0`.
-- Local first. Use repo `pnpm` lanes before Blacksmith/Testbox. Remote only for parity-only failures, secrets/services, or explicit ask.
+- Runtime: Node 22+. Keep Node and Bun paths working.
+- Install: `pnpm install` (Bun supported; keep lockfiles/patches aligned if touched).
+- Dev CLI: `pnpm openclaw ...` or `pnpm dev`.
+- Build: `pnpm build`
+- Smart local gate: `pnpm check:changed` (scoped typecheck/lint/guards + relevant tests)
+- Explain smart gate: `pnpm changed:lanes --json`
+- Staged gate preview: `pnpm check:changed --staged`
+- Normal full prod sweep: `pnpm check` (prod typecheck/lint/guards, no tests)
+- Full tests: `pnpm test`
+- Changed tests only: `pnpm test:changed`
+- Local serial loop: `pnpm test:serial`
+- Extension tests: `pnpm test:extensions` or `pnpm test extensions` = all extension shards; `pnpm test extensions/<id>` = one extension lane. Heavy channels/OpenAI have dedicated shards.
+- Shard timing artifact: `.artifacts/vitest-shard-timings.json`; auto-used for balanced shard ordering. Disable with `OPENCLAW_TEST_PROJECTS_TIMINGS=0`.
+- Targeted tests: `pnpm test <path-or-filter> [vitest args...]`; do not call raw `vitest`.
+- Coverage: `pnpm test:coverage`
+- Format check/fix: `pnpm format:check` / `pnpm format`
+- Typecheck:
+  - `pnpm tsgo`: fastest core prod graph
+  - `pnpm tsgo:prod`: core + extensions prod graphs; used by `pnpm check`
+  - `pnpm check:test-types` / `pnpm tsgo:test`: all test graphs
+  - `pnpm tsgo:all`: all prod + test project refs
+  - Debug slices exist; do not present as normal user flow.
+  - Profile: `pnpm tsgo:profile [core-test|extensions-test|--all]`
+- Type policy: use `tsgo`; do not add `tsc --noEmit`, `typecheck`, or `check:types` lanes. `tsc` only for declaration/package-boundary emit gaps.
+- Lint:
+  - `pnpm lint`: core/extensions/scripts shards
+  - `pnpm lint:core`, `pnpm lint:extensions`, `pnpm lint:scripts`
+  - `pnpm lint:apps`: Swift/app surface, separate from TS lint
+  - `pnpm lint:all`: legacy comparison lane
+- Local heavy-check behavior: `OPENCLAW_LOCAL_CHECK=1` default; `OPENCLAW_LOCAL_CHECK_MODE=throttled|full`; `OPENCLAW_LOCAL_CHECK=0` for CI/shared runs.
+- Local validation is local-first. Do not default to Blacksmith/Testbox for routine OpenClaw iteration; it burns warm caches and startup time. Use repo `pnpm` lanes first, then reach for remote CI/Testbox only for parity-only failures, secrets/services, or when explicitly requested.
 
-## GitHub / CI
+## GitHub API
 
-- Triage: list first, hydrate few. Use bounded `gh --json --jq`; avoid repeated full comment scans.
-- Automatic PR/issue discovery: skip maintainer-owned items unless directly relevant. Do not comment, close, label, retitle, rebase, fix up, or land them without Peter asking.
-- PR scan/triage: no unsolicited PR comments/reviews. Report in chat only unless explicitly asked, or a close/duplicate action needs a reason comment.
-- Search/dedupe: prefer `gh search issues 'repo:openclaw/openclaw is:open <terms>' --json number,title,state,updatedAt --limit 20`.
-- GitHub search boolean text is fussy. If `OR` queries return empty, split exact terms and search title/body/comments separately before concluding no hits.
-- PR shortlist: `gh pr list ...`; then `gh pr view <n> --json number,title,body,closingIssuesReferences,files,statusCheckRollup,reviewDecision`.
-- After landing PR: search duplicate open issues/PRs. Before closing: comment why + canonical link.
-- GH comments with markdown backticks, `$`, or shell snippets: avoid inline double-quoted `--body`; use single quotes or `--body-file`.
-- PR execution artifacts/screenshots: attach them to the PR, comment, or an external artifact store. Do not add `.github/pr-assets` or other PR-only assets to the repo.
-- PR review answer must explicitly cover: what bug/behavior we are trying to fix; PR/issue URL(s) and affected endpoint/surface; whether this is the best possible fix, with high-certainty evidence from code, tests, CI, and shipped/current behavior.
-- CI polling: exact SHA, needed fields only. Example: `gh api repos/<owner>/<repo>/actions/runs/<id> --jq '{status,conclusion,head_sha,updated_at,name,path}'`.
-- Post-land wait: minimal. Exact landed SHA only. If superseded on `main`, same-branch `cancel-in-progress` cancellations are expected; stop once local touched-surface proof exists. Never wait for newer unrelated `main` unless asked.
-- Wait matrix:
-  - never: `Auto response`, `Labeler`, `Docs Sync Publish Repo`, `Docs Agent`, `Test Performance Agent`, `Stale`.
-  - conditional: `CI` exact SHA only; `Docs` only docs task/no local docs proof; `Workflow Sanity` only workflow/composite/CI-policy edits; `Plugin NPM Release` only plugin package/release metadata.
-  - release/manual only: `Docker Release`, `OpenClaw NPM Release`, `macOS Release`, `OpenClaw Release Checks`, `Cross-OS Release Checks`, `NPM Telegram Beta E2E`.
-  - explicit/surface only: `QA-Lab - All Lanes`, `Scheduled Live And E2E`, `Install Smoke`, `CodeQL`, `Sandbox Common Smoke`, `Parity gate`, `Blacksmith Testbox`, `Control UI Locale Refresh`.
-- `/landpr`: do not idle on `auto-response` or `check-docs`. Treat docs as local proof unless `check-docs` already failed with actionable relevant error.
-- Poll 30-60s. Fetch jobs/logs/artifacts only after failure/completion or concrete need.
+- Issue/PR triage: list first, hydrate few. Use bounded fields + `--jq`, e.g. `gh issue list --state open --limit 80 --json number,title,labels,updatedAt,comments --jq '.[]|[.number,.updatedAt,.comments,.title]|@tsv'`; then `gh issue view <n> --json title,body,comments,labels,createdAt,updatedAt,url --jq '{title,labels,createdAt,updatedAt,url,body,comments:[.comments[]|{author:.author.login,createdAt,body}]}'` only for shortlisted items.
+- Search/dedupe: prefer `gh search issues 'repo:openclaw/openclaw is:open <terms>' --json number,title,state,updatedAt --limit 20 --jq '.[]|[.number,.updatedAt,.title]|@tsv'`; avoid repeated full `--comments` scans.
+- After landing a PR: search for duplicate open issues/PRs that can be closed.
+- Before closing an issue/PR: add a comment explaining why, usually duplicate/invalid, with the canonical issue/PR when relevant.
+- PR links: `gh pr list --state open --search '<issue-or-terms>' --json number,title,updatedAt,headRefName --limit 20`; use `gh pr view <n> --json number,title,body,closingIssuesReferences,files,statusCheckRollup,reviewDecision` only after shortlist.
+- CI polling: keep full `gh` capability, but request only needed fields. Known run status: `gh api repos/<owner>/<repo>/actions/runs/<id> --jq '{status,conclusion,head_sha,updated_at,name,path}'`.
+- Non-blocking background workflows: `Auto response`, `Docs Sync Publish Repo`, `Docs Agent`, and `Test Performance Agent` are service/agent work. Do not wait on, rerun, or fix them during normal push/PR verification unless the user explicitly asks or the task is about those workflows. Report them as background if mentioned.
+- `/landpr` CI wait scope: do not idle on pending `auto-response`/`Auto response` or `check-docs`. Treat docs as local proof unless `check-docs` already failed with a relevant, actionable error. If required product/code gates and touched-surface local gates are green, proceed without waiting for docs-only or auto-response automation.
+- Waiting: poll lightly, usually 30-60s backoff. Fetch jobs/logs/artifacts only after completion/failure or when job detail is needed; avoid repeated workflow + run + jobs loops.
 
 ## Gates
 
-- Pre-commit hook: staged formatting only. Validation explicit.
+- Pre-commit hook: staged formatting only. It does not run lint, typecheck, or tests.
 - Changed lanes:
-  - core prod: core prod typecheck + core tests
-  - core tests: core test typecheck/tests
-  - extension prod: extension prod typecheck + extension tests
-  - extension tests: extension test typecheck/tests
-  - public SDK/plugin contract: extension prod/test too
-  - unknown root/config: all lanes
-- Before handoff/push for code/test/runtime/config changes: `pnpm check:changed`. Tests-only: `pnpm test:changed`. Full prod sweep: `pnpm check`.
-- Docs/changelog-only and CI/workflow metadata-only changes are not changed-gate work by default. Use `git diff --check` plus the relevant formatter/docs/workflow sanity check; escalate to `pnpm check:changed` only when scripts, test config, generated docs/API, package metadata, or runtime/build behavior changed.
-- Rebase sanity: after a green `pnpm check:changed`, a clean rebase onto current
-  `origin/main` does not require rerunning the full changed gate when the rebase
-  has no conflicts and the branch diff is materially unchanged. Do a quick
-  `git status`, `git diff --check`, and diff/stat sanity check; rerun targeted or
-  full checks only if conflict resolution, upstream overlap, generated drift,
-  dependency/config changes, or touched-file content changes make the prior
-  result stale.
-- Landing on `main`: verify touched surface near landing. Default feasible bar: `pnpm check` + `pnpm test`.
-- Hard build gate: `pnpm build` before push if build output, packaging, lazy/module boundaries, or published surfaces can change.
-- Do not land related failing format/lint/type/build/tests. If unrelated on latest `origin/main`, say so with scoped proof.
-- Generated/API drift: `pnpm check:architecture`, `pnpm config:docs:gen/check`, `pnpm plugin-sdk:api:gen/check`. Track `docs/.generated/*.sha256`; full JSON ignored.
+  - core prod => core prod typecheck + core tests
+  - core tests => core test typecheck/tests only
+  - extension prod => extension prod typecheck + extension tests
+  - extension tests => extension test typecheck/tests only
+  - public SDK/plugin contract => extension prod/test validation too
+  - unknown root/config => all lanes
+- Local loop: run `pnpm check:changed` explicitly before handoff/push; use `pnpm test:changed` for tests only; use `pnpm check` for full prod TS/lint sweep without tests.
+- Landing on `main`: verify touched surface near landing; default bar is `pnpm check` + `pnpm test` when feasible.
+- Hard build gate: run/pass `pnpm build` before push if build output, packaging, lazy/module boundaries, or published surfaces can change.
+- Do not land related failing format/lint/type/build/tests. If failures are unrelated on latest `origin/main`, say so and give scoped proof.
+- Commit helper is formatting-only; validation gates are explicit commands, not commit side effects.
+- CI architecture gate: `check-additional`; local equivalent `pnpm check:architecture`.
+- Config docs drift: `pnpm config:docs:gen/check`
+- Plugin SDK API drift: `pnpm plugin-sdk:api:gen/check`
+- Generated docs baselines: tracked `docs/.generated/*.sha256`; full JSON ignored.
 
-## Code
+## Code Style
 
-- TS ESM, strict. Avoid `any`; prefer real types, `unknown`, narrow adapters.
-- No `@ts-nocheck`. Lint suppressions only intentional + explained.
+- TypeScript ESM. Strict types. Avoid `any`; prefer real types/`unknown`/narrow adapters.
+- No `@ts-nocheck`. No lint suppressions unless intentional and explained.
 - External boundaries: prefer `zod` or existing schema helpers.
-- Runtime branching: discriminated unions/closed codes over freeform strings.
-- Avoid semantic sentinels: `?? 0`, empty object/string, etc.
-- Dynamic import: no static+dynamic import for same prod module. Use `*.runtime.ts` lazy boundary. After edits: `pnpm build`; check `[INEFFECTIVE_DYNAMIC_IMPORT]`.
-- Cycles: keep `pnpm check:import-cycles` + architecture/madge green.
-- Classes: no prototype mixins/mutations. Prefer inheritance/composition. Tests prefer per-instance stubs.
-- Comments: brief, only non-obvious logic.
-- Split files around ~700 LOC when clarity/testability improves.
-- Naming: **OpenClaw** product/docs; `openclaw` CLI/package/path/config.
-- English: American spelling.
+- Runtime branching: prefer discriminated unions / closed codes over freeform strings.
+- Avoid magic sentinels like `?? 0`, empty object/string when semantics change.
+- Dynamic import: do not mix static and dynamic import for same module in prod path. Use dedicated `*.runtime.ts` lazy boundary. After lazy-boundary edits, run `pnpm build` and check `[INEFFECTIVE_DYNAMIC_IMPORT]`.
+- Cycles: keep `pnpm check:import-cycles` and architecture/madge cycle checks green.
+- Classes: no prototype mixins/mutations. Use explicit inheritance/composition. Tests prefer per-instance stubs.
+- Comments: brief only for non-obvious logic.
+- File size: split around ~700 LOC when it improves clarity/testability.
+- Product naming: **OpenClaw** product/docs; `openclaw` CLI/package/path/config.
+- Written English: American spelling.
 
 ## Tests
 
-- Vitest. Colocated `*.test.ts`; e2e `*.e2e.test.ts`; example models `sonnet-4.6`, `gpt-5.4`.
-- Avoid brittle tests that grep workflow/docs strings for operator policy. Prefer executable behavior, parsed config/schema checks, or live run proof; put release/CI policy reminders in AGENTS/docs instead.
-- Clean timers/env/globals/mocks/sockets/temp dirs/module state; `--isolate=false` safe.
-- Hot tests: avoid per-test `vi.resetModules()` + heavy imports. Measure with `pnpm test:perf:imports <file>` / `pnpm test:perf:hotspots --limit N`.
-- Seam depth: pure helper/contract unit tests; one integration smoke per boundary.
-- Mock expensive seams directly: scanners, manifests, registries, fs crawls, provider SDKs, network/process launch.
-- Prefer injection; if module mocking, mock narrow local `*.runtime.ts`, not broad barrels or `openclaw/plugin-sdk/*`.
-- Share fixtures/builders; delete duplicate assertions; assert behavior that can regress here.
-- Do not edit baseline/inventory/ignore/snapshot/expected-failure files to silence checks without explicit approval.
-- Test workers max 16. Memory pressure: `OPENCLAW_VITEST_MAX_WORKERS=1 pnpm test`.
-- Live: `OPENCLAW_LIVE_TEST=1 pnpm test:live`; verbose `OPENCLAW_LIVE_TEST_QUIET=0`.
-- Guide: `docs/help/testing.md`.
+- Vitest. Tests colocated `*.test.ts`; e2e `*.e2e.test.ts`.
+- Example models in tests: `sonnet-4.6`, `gpt-5.4`.
+- Clean up timers/env/globals/mocks/sockets/temp dirs/module state; `--isolate=false` must stay safe.
+- Hot tests: avoid per-test `vi.resetModules()` + fresh heavy imports; prefer static or `beforeAll` imports and reset state directly.
+- Measure first: `pnpm test:perf:imports <file>` for import drag; `pnpm test:perf:hotspots --limit N` for suite targets.
+- Keep tests at seam depth: unit-test pure helpers/contracts; one integration smoke per boundary, not per branch.
+- Mock expensive runtime seams directly: scanners, manifests, package registries, filesystem crawls, provider SDKs, network/process launch.
+- Prefer injected deps over module mocks; if mocking modules, mock narrow local `*.runtime.ts` seams, not broad barrels.
+- Share fixtures/builders; do not recreate temp dirs, package manifests, or plugin workspaces in every case unless state isolation needs it.
+- Delete duplicate assertions when another test owns the boundary; assert only the behavior that can regress here.
+- Avoid broad `importOriginal()` / broad `openclaw/plugin-sdk/*` partial mocks in hot tests. Add narrow local `*.runtime.ts` seam and mock it.
+- Use existing deps/callback/runtime injection seams before module mocks.
+- Import-dominated test time is a boundary smell; shrink import surface before adding cases.
+- Replacing slow integration coverage: extract production composition into a named helper and test that helper.
+- Do not modify baseline/inventory/ignore/snapshot/expected-failure files to silence checks without explicit approval.
+- Do not set test workers above 16. For memory pressure: `OPENCLAW_VITEST_MAX_WORKERS=1 pnpm test`.
+- Live: `OPENCLAW_LIVE_TEST=1 pnpm test:live`; full logs `OPENCLAW_LIVE_TEST_QUIET=0`.
+- Full testing guide: `docs/help/testing.md`.
 
 ## Docs / Changelog
 
-- Docs change with behavior/API. Use docs list/read_when hints; docs links per `docs/AGENTS.md`.
-- Changelog user-facing only; pure test/internal usually no entry.
-- Changelog placement: active version `### Changes`/`### Fixes`; every added entry must include at least one `Thanks @author` attribution, using credited GitHub username(s). Never add `Thanks @steipete` or `Thanks @codex`.
-- Changelog bullets are always single-line. No wrapping/continuation across multiple lines. Long entries stay on one long line so dedupe, PR-ref, and credit-audit tooling work and so the visual style stays uniform.
+- Update docs when behavior/API changes. Use docs list/read_when hints.
+- Docs links: see `docs/AGENTS.md`.
+- Changelog: user-facing only. Pure test/internal changes usually no entry.
+- Changelog placement: append to active version `### Changes`/`### Fixes`; at most one contributor mention, prefer `Thanks @user`.
 
 ## Git
 
-- Commit via `scripts/committer "<msg>" <file...>`; stage intended files only. It formats staged files; still run gates.
-- Commits: conventional-ish, concise, grouped.
-- No manual stash/autostash unless explicit. No branch/worktree changes unless requested.
-- `main`: no merge commits; rebase on latest `origin/main` before push. Do not
-  keep chasing `main` with repeated full gates after one green run plus a clean
-  rebase sanity pass.
-- User says `commit`: your changes only. `commit all`: all changes in grouped chunks. `push`: may `git pull --rebase` first.
-- Do not delete/rename unexpected files; ask if blocking, else ignore.
-- Bulk PR close/reopen >5: ask with count/scope.
-- PR/issue workflows: `$openclaw-pr-maintainer`. `/landpr`: `~/.codex/prompts/landpr.md`.
+- Use `scripts/committer "<msg>" <file...>`; stage only intended files. It formats staged files only; run validation separately.
+- Commits: conventional-ish, concise/action-oriented. Group related changes.
+- No manual stash/autostash unless explicitly requested. No branch/worktree changes unless requested.
+- No merge commits on `main`; rebase on latest `origin/main` before push.
+- User says "commit": commit your changes only. "commit all": commit everything in grouped chunks. "push": may `git pull --rebase` first.
+- Do not delete/rename unexpected files; ask if it blocks. Otherwise ignore unrelated WIP.
+- If bulk PR close/reopen affects >5 PRs, ask with exact count/scope.
+- PR/issue workflows: use `$openclaw-pr-maintainer`.
+- `/landpr`: use `~/.codex/prompts/landpr.md`.
 
 ## Security / Release
 
 - Never commit real phone numbers, videos, credentials, live config.

 - Env keys: check `~/.profile`.
-- Dependency patches/overrides/vendor changes need explicit approval. `pnpm.patchedDependencies` exact versions only.
-- Carbon pins owner-only: do not change `@buape/carbon` unless Shadow (`@thewilloftheshadow`, verified by `gh`) asks.
-- Releases/publish/version bumps need explicit approval. Release docs: `docs/reference/RELEASING.md`; use `$openclaw-release-maintainer`.
-- GHSA/advisories: `$openclaw-ghsa-maintainer`.
-- Beta tag/version match: `vYYYY.M.D-beta.N` -> npm `YYYY.M.D-beta.N --tag beta`.

 OpenClaw has an extensive plugin API.
 Core stays lean; optional capability should usually ship as plugins.
-We are generally slimming down core while expanding what plugins can do.
-If a useful feature cannot be built as a plugin yet, we welcome PRs and design discussions that extend the plugin API instead of adding one-off core behavior.
-
-There are two broad plugin styles:
-
-- Code plugins run OpenClaw plugin code and are appropriate for deeper runtime extension.
-- Bundle-style plugins package stable external surfaces such as skills, MCP servers, and related configuration.
-
-Prefer bundle-style plugins when they can express the capability.
-They have a smaller, more stable interface and better security boundaries.
-Use code plugins when the capability needs runtime hooks, providers, channels, tools, or other in-process extension points.
 
 Preferred plugin path is npm package distribution plus local extension loading for development.
 If you build a plugin, host and maintain it in your own repository.
 The bar for adding optional plugins to core is intentionally high.

+- add or change MCP servers without restarting the gateway

-            <description><![CDATA[<h2>OpenClaw 2026.4.24</h2>
-<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>

+<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>
