+---
+
+# Experimental Skills
+
+Use this skill only for explicitly requested experimental work.
+
+If the user does not explicitly request experimental handling, stop and use the normal repo workflow instead.
+
+When this skill does apply, behave like a menu first.
+
+Start by asking:
+
+`What would you like to do?`
+
+Offer a short numbered menu of currently available experimental flows. Keep the menu flat and concise. Only load the relevant reference after the user chooses a flow.
+
+Preferred first response shape:
+
+```text
+What would you like to do?
+
+1. qa-lab release compare
+```
+
+After the user picks a flow, run an LLM-guided workflow for that selected flow:
+- Ask only the next necessary question.
+- Load only the matching reference.
+- Drive the workflow step by step.
+- Interpret results and propose the next action.
+
+For `qa-lab release compare`, the preferred first guided follow-up is:
+
+```text
+Which two refs should I compare?
+For example: previous stable vs beta, previous stable vs candidate stable, or a custom pair.
+```
+
+Current menu:
+1. `qa-lab release compare`
+   Read [references/qa-lab-release-compare.md](references/qa-lab-release-compare.md) only when this option is chosen.
+
+Operating rules:
+- Prefer the established repo workflow for the selected flow over generic alternatives.
+- Keep changes narrow and pragmatic.
+- Do not eagerly load references before the user picks a menu option.
+- Do not expand the menu with guessed workflows. Add new options only when experimental flows are actually established.

+# QA-Lab Release Compare
+
+Use this reference when the selected flow is `qa-lab release compare`.
+
+Purpose:
+- Compare two OpenClaw releases or a release versus the current checkout in isolated installs.
+- Surface plugin/bootstrap regressions, especially bundled channel regressions.
+
+Current command surface:
+
+```bash
+openclaw qa release-compare <old> <new> \
+  --scenario bundled-channels \
+  --output-dir .artifacts/qa/release-compare
+```
+
+Current bundled-channels scenario:
+- Seed isolated homes with enabled `telegram`, `slack`, and `matrix` plugin entries.
+- Run:
+
+```text
+plugins smoke --json
+doctor --non-interactive
+status
+health
+models status
+```
+
+Current smoke signal:
+- `plugins smoke --json` is the primary structured plugin/bootstrap detector.
+- Expected classifications:
+  - `ok`
+  - `packaged_entry_missing`
+  - `plugin_validation_error`
+  - `load_error`
+
+Historical litmus test:
+
+```text
+2026.4.7 -> 2026.4.8
+```
+
+Expected behavior:
+- `2026.4.7` should surface a packaged entry failure such as missing `dist/extensions/telegram/src/channel.setup.js`.
+- `2026.4.8` should clear that specific packaged-entry failure, even if unconfigured plugins still report validation errors.
+
+Useful compare pairs:
+1. Previous stable vs beta
+2. Previous stable vs candidate stable
+3. Beta vs stable
+
+Notes:
+- The qa-lab wrapper writes Markdown and JSON artifacts under the chosen output directory.
+- The stronger signal is the native `plugins smoke --json` output; qa-lab should compare that rather than scrape generic stderr.

 ## npm install then update
 
 - Preferred entrypoint: `pnpm test:parallels:npm-update`
-- Flow: fresh snapshot -> install npm package baseline -> smoke -> install current main tgz on the same guest -> smoke again.
+- Required coverage: every release/update regression run must include both lanes:
+  - fresh snapshot -> install requested package/baseline -> smoke
+  - same guest baseline -> run the guest's installed `openclaw update ...` command -> smoke again
+- The update lane must exercise OpenClaw's internal updater. Do not count a direct `npm install -g <tgz-or-spec>` or harness-side package swap as update-flow coverage; those are install smokes only.
+- For published targets, install the old baseline package first (for example `openclaw@2026.4.9`), then run the installed guest CLI with the intended channel/tag (for example `openclaw update --channel beta --yes --json`) and verify `openclaw --version`, `openclaw update status --json`, gateway RPC, and an agent turn after the command.
+- For unpublished targets, pack the candidate on the host, serve the `.tgz` over the harness HTTP server, and point the guest updater at that served package. Prefer `openclaw update --tag http://<host-ip>:<port>/openclaw-<version>.tgz --yes --json`; when channel persistence also matters, pass `--channel <stable|beta>` and set `OPENCLAW_UPDATE_PACKAGE_SPEC` to the same served URL in the guest update environment. The command under test must still be `openclaw update`, not direct npm.
+- For unpublished local-fix validation, remember the old baseline updater code still controls the first hop. A fix that lives only in the new updater code cannot change that already-running old process; the served candidate must either keep package/plugin metadata compatible with the baseline host or the baseline itself must include the updater fix.
 - For beta/stable verification, resolve the tag immediately before the run (`npm view openclaw@beta version dist.tarball` or `npm view openclaw@latest ...`). Tags can move while a long VM matrix is already running; restart the matrix when the intended prerelease appears after an earlier registry 404/tag-lag check.
 - Source Peter's profile in the host shell (`set -a; source "$HOME/.profile"; set +a`) before OpenAI/Anthropic lanes. Do not print profile contents or env dumps; pass provider secrets through the guest exec environment.
 - Same-guest update verification should set the default model explicitly to `openai/gpt-5.4` before the agent turn and use a fresh explicit `--session-id` so old session model state does not leak into the check.

 - **Multi-agent safety:** do **not** create/apply/drop `git stash` entries unless explicitly requested (this includes `git pull --rebase --autostash`). Assume other agents may be working; keep unrelated WIP untouched and avoid cross-cutting state changes.

 ### Changes
 
-- Memory/Active Memory: add a new optional Active Memory plugin that gives OpenClaw a dedicated memory sub-agent right before the main reply, so ongoing chats can automatically pull in relevant preferences, context, and past details without making users remember to manually say "remember this" or "search memory" first. Includes configurable message/recent/full context modes, live `/verbose` inspection, advanced prompt/thinking overrides for tuning, and opt-in transcript persistence for debugging.
-- macOS/Talk: add an experimental local MLX speech provider for Talk Mode, with explicit provider selection, local utterance playback, interruption handling, and system-voice fallback. (#63539) Thanks @ImLukeF.
-- Docs i18n: chunk raw doc translation, reject truncated tagged outputs, avoid ambiguous body-only wrapper unwrapping, and recover from terminated Pi translation sessions without changing the default `openai/gpt-5.4` path. (#62969, #63808) Thanks @hxy91819.
-- QA/testing: add a `--runner multipass` lane for `openclaw qa suite` so repo-backed QA scenarios can run inside a disposable Linux VM and write back the usual report, summary, and VM logs. (#63426) Thanks @shakkernerd.
-- Gateway: split startup and runtime seams so gateway lifecycle sequencing, reload state, and shutdown behavior stay easier to maintain without changing observed behavior. (#63975) Thanks @gumadeiras.
-- Control UI/webchat: normalize assistant `MEDIA:`/reply/voice directives into structured bubble rendering, rename the unreleased rich web shortcode to `[embed ...]`, and surface session runtime roots so hosted web content is written to the correct document path instead of guessed local files.
+### Fixes
+
+- Telegram/sessions: keep topic-scoped session initialization on the canonical topic transcript path when inbound turns omit `MessageThreadId`, so one topic session no longer alternates between bare and topic-qualified transcript files. (#64869) thanks @jalehman.
+
+## 2026.4.11-beta.1
+
+### Changes
+
+- Dreaming/memory-wiki: add ChatGPT import ingestion plus new `Imported Insights` and `Memory Palace` diary subtabs so Dreaming can inspect imported source chats, compiled wiki pages, and full source pages directly from the UI. (#64505)
+- Control UI/webchat: render assistant media/reply/voice directives as structured chat bubbles, add the `[embed ...]` rich output tag, and gate external embed URLs behind config. (#64104)
+- Tools/video_generate: add URL-only generated asset delivery, typed `providerOptions`, reference audio inputs, per-asset role hints, `adaptive` aspect-ratio support, and a higher image-input cap so video providers can expose richer generation modes without forcing large files into memory. (#61987, #61988) Thanks @xieyongliang.
+- Feishu: improve document comment sessions with richer context parsing, comment reactions, and typing feedback so document-thread conversations behave more like chat conversations. (#63785)
+- Microsoft Teams: add reaction support, reaction listing, Graph pagination, and delegated OAuth setup for sending reactions while preserving application-auth read paths. (#51646)
+- Plugins: allow plugin manifests to declare activation and setup descriptors so plugin setup flows can describe required auth, pairing, and configuration steps without hardcoded core special cases. (#64780)
+- Ollama: cache `/api/show` context-window and capability metadata during model discovery so repeated picker refreshes stop refetching unchanged models, while still retrying after empty responses and invalidating on digest changes. (#64753) Thanks @ImLukeF.
+- Models/providers: surface how configured OpenAI-compatible endpoints are classified in embedded-agent debug logs, so local and proxy routing issues are easier to diagnose. (#64754) Thanks @ImLukeF.
+- QA/parity: add the GPT-5.4 vs Opus 4.6 agentic parity report gate with shared scenario coverage checks, stricter evidence heuristics, and skipped-scenario accounting for maintainer review. (#64441) Thanks @100yenadmin.
 
 ### Fixes
 
-- fix(agents): guard nodes tool outPath against workspace boundary [AI-assisted]. (#63551) Thanks @pgondhi987.
-- fix(qqbot): enforce media storage boundary for all outbound local file paths [AI]. (#63271) Thanks @pgondhi987.
-- iMessage/self-chat: distinguish normal DM outbound rows from true self-chat using `destination_caller_id` plus chat participants, while preserving multi-handle self-chat aliases so outbound DM replies stop looping back as inbound messages. (#61619) Thanks @neeravmakwana.
-- fix(browser): auto-generate browser control auth token for none/trusted-proxy modes [AI]. (#63280) Thanks @pgondhi987.
-- fix(exec): replace TOCTOU check-then-read with atomic pinned-fd open in script preflight [AI]. (#62333) Thanks @pgondhi987.
-- WhatsApp/auto-reply: keep inbound reply, media, and composing sends on the current socket across reconnects, wait through reconnect gaps, and retry timeout-only send failures without dropping the active socket ref. (#62892) Thanks @mcaxtr.
-- Config/plugins: let config writes keep disabled plugin entries without forcing required plugin config schemas or crashing raw plugin validation, so slot switches and similar plugin-state updates persist cleanly. (#63296) Thanks @fuller-stack-dev.
-- WhatsApp/outbound queue: drain queued WhatsApp deliveries when the listener reconnects without dropping reconnect-delayed sends after a special TTL or rewriting retry history, so disconnect-window outbound messages can recover once the channel is ready again. (#46299) Thanks @manuel-claw.
-- Tools/web_fetch: add an opt-in `tools.web.fetch.ssrfPolicy.allowRfc2544BenchmarkRange` config so fake-IP proxy environments that resolve public sites into `198.18.0.0/15` can use `web_fetch` without weakening the default SSRF block. (#61830) Thanks @xing-xing-coder.
-- Daemon/gateway install: preserve safe custom service env vars on forced reinstall, merge prior custom PATH segments behind the managed service PATH, and stop removed managed env keys from persisting as custom carryover. (#63136) Thanks @WarrenJones.
-- Config validation: surface the actual offending field for strict-schema union failures in bindings, including top-level unexpected keys on the matching ACP branch. (#40841) Thanks @Hollychou924.
-- QQBot/security: replace raw `fetch()` in the image-size probe with SSRF-guarded `fetchRemoteMedia`, fix `resolveRepoRoot()` to walk up to `.git` instead of hardcoding two parent levels, and refresh the raw-fetch allowlist to match the corrected scan. (#63495) Thanks @dims.
-- Cron/scheduling: treat `nextRunAtMs <= 0` as invalid across cron update, maintenance, timer, and stale-delivery paths so corrupted zero timestamps self-heal instead of causing immediate runs or skipped deliveries. (#63507) Thanks @WarrenJones.
-- Status: show configured fallback models in `/status` and shared session status cards so per-agent fallback configuration is visible before a live failover happens. (#33111) Thanks @AnCoSONG.
-- Fireworks/FirePass: disable Kimi K2.5 Turbo reasoning output by forcing thinking off on the FirePass path and hardening the provider wrapper so hidden reasoning no longer leaks into visible replies. (#63607) Thanks @frankekn.
-- Sessions/model selection: preserve catalog-backed session model labels and keep already-qualified session model refs stable when catalog metadata is unavailable, so Control UI model selection survives reloads without bogus provider-prefixed values. (#61382) Thanks @Mule-ME.
-- Gateway/startup: keep WebSocket RPC available while channels and plugin sidecars start, hold `chat.history` unavailable until startup sidecars finish so synchronous history reads cannot stall startup (reported in #63450), refresh advertised gateway methods after deferred plugin reloads, and enforce the pre-auth WebSocket upgrade budget before the no-handler 503 path so upgrade floods cannot bypass connection limits during that window. (#63480) Thanks @neeravmakwana.
-- Dreaming/cron: reconcile managed dreaming cron from the resolved gateway startup config so boot-time schedule recovery respects the configured cadence and timezone. (#63873) Thanks @mbelinky.
-- Dreaming/cron: keep managed dreaming cron reconciled after startup by rechecking lifecycle state during runtime config/plugin changes, recovering missing managed jobs, and applying cadence/timezone updates idempotently. (#63929) Thanks @mbelinky.
+- OpenAI/Codex OAuth: stop rewriting the upstream authorize URL scopes so new Codex sign-ins do not fail with `invalid_scope` before returning an authorization code. (#64713) Thanks @fuller-stack-dev.
+- Audio transcription: disable pinned DNS only for OpenAI-compatible multipart requests, while still validating hostnames, so OpenAI, Groq, and Mistral transcription works again without weakening other request paths. (#64766) Thanks @GodsBoy.
+- macOS/Talk Mode: after granting microphone permission on first enable, continue starting Talk Mode instead of requiring a second toggle. (#62459) Thanks @ggarber.
+- Control UI/webchat: persist agent-run TTS audio replies into webchat history and preserve interleaved tool card pairing so generated audio and mixed tool output stay attached to the right messages. (#63514) Thanks @bittoby.
+- WhatsApp: honor the configured default account when the active listener helper is used without an explicit account id, so named default accounts do not get registered under `default`. (#53918) Thanks @yhyatt.
+- ACP/agents: suppress commentary-phase child assistant relay text in ACP parent stream updates, so spawned child runs stop leaking internal progress chatter into the parent session. Thanks @vincentkoc.
+- Agents/timeouts: honor explicit run timeouts in the LLM idle watchdog and align default timeout config so slow models can keep working until the configured limit instead of using the wrong idle window.
+- Config: include `asyncCompletion` in the generated zod schema so documented async completion config no longer fails with an unrecognized-key error. (#63618)
+- Google/Veo: stop sending the unsupported `numberOfVideos` request field so Gemini Developer API Veo runs do not fail before OpenClaw can complete the intended Google video generation path. (#64723) Thanks @velvet-shark.
+- QA/packaging: stop packaged CLI startup and completion cache generation from reading repo-only QA scenario markdown, ship the bundled QA scenario pack in npm releases, and keep `openclaw completion --write-state` working even if QA setup is broken. (#64648) Thanks @obviyus.
+- Codex/QA: keep Codex app-server coordination chatter out of visible replies, add a live QA leak scenario, and classify leaked harness meta text as a QA failure instead of a successful reply. Thanks @vincentkoc.
+- WhatsApp: route `message react` through the gateway-owned action path so reactions use the live WhatsApp listener in both DM and group chats, matching `message send` and `message poll`. Thanks @mcaxtr.
+
+## 2026.4.10
+
+### Changes
+
+- Models/Codex: add the bundled Codex provider and plugin-owned app-server harness so `codex/gpt-*` models use Codex-managed auth, native threads, model discovery, and compaction while `openai/gpt-*` stays on the normal OpenAI provider path. (#64298)
+- Memory/Active Memory: add a new optional Active Memory plugin that gives OpenClaw a dedicated memory sub-agent right before the main reply, so ongoing chats can automatically pull in relevant preferences, context, and past details without making users remember to manually say "remember this" or "search memory" first. Includes configurable message/recent/full context modes, live `/verbose` inspection, advanced prompt/thinking overrides for tuning, and opt-in transcript persistence for debugging. Docs: https://docs.openclaw.ai/concepts/active-memory. (#63286) Thanks @Takhoffman.
+- macOS/Talk: add an experimental local MLX speech provider for Talk Mode, with explicit provider selection, local utterance playback, interruption handling, and system-voice fallback. (#63539) Thanks @ImLukeF.
+- Tools/video generation: add Seedance 2.0 model refs to the bundled fal provider and submit the provider-specific duration, resolution, audio, and seed metadata fields needed for live Seedance 2.0 runs.
+- Microsoft Teams: add message actions for pin, unpin, read, react, and listing reactions. (#53432) Thanks @sudie-codes.
+- QA/Matrix: add a live `openclaw qa matrix` lane backed by a disposable Matrix homeserver, shared live-transport seams, and Matrix-specific transport coverage for threading, reactions, restart, and allowlist behavior. (#64489) Thanks @gumadeiras.
+- QA/Telegram: add a live `openclaw qa telegram` lane for private-group bot-to-bot checks, harden its artifact handling, and preserve native Telegram command reply threading for QA verification. (#64303) Thanks @obviyus.
+- QA/testing: add a `--runner multipass` lane for `openclaw qa suite` so repo-backed QA scenarios can run inside a disposable Linux VM and write back the usual report, summary, and VM logs. (#63426) Thanks @shakkernerd.
+- CLI/exec policy: add a local `openclaw exec-policy` command with `show`, `preset`, and `set` subcommands for synchronizing requested `tools.exec.*` config with the local exec approvals file, plus follow-up hardening for node-host rejection, rollback safety, and sync conflict detection. (#64050)
+- Gateway: add a `commands.list` RPC so remote gateway clients can discover runtime-native, text, skill, and plugin commands with surface-aware naming and serialized argument metadata. (#62656) Thanks @samzong.
+- Models/providers: add per-provider `models.providers.*.request.allowPrivateNetwork` for trusted self-hosted OpenAI-compatible endpoints, keep the opt-in scoped to model request surfaces, and refresh cached WebSocket managers when request transport overrides change. (#63671) Thanks @qas.
+- Feishu: standardize request user agents and register the bot as an AI agent so Feishu deployments identify OpenClaw consistently. (#63835) Thanks @evandance.
+- Docs i18n: chunk raw doc translation, reject truncated tagged outputs, avoid ambiguous body-only wrapper unwrapping, and recover from terminated Pi translation sessions without changing the default `openai/gpt-5.4` path. (#62969, #63808) Thanks @hxy91819.
+- Gateway: split startup and runtime seams so gateway lifecycle sequencing, reload state, and shutdown behavior stay easier to maintain without changing observed behavior. (#63975) Thanks @gumadeiras.
+- Control UI/webchat: normalize assistant `MEDIA:`/reply/voice directives into structured bubble rendering, rename the unreleased rich web shortcode to `[embed ...]`, and surface session runtime roots so hosted web content is written to the correct document path instead of guessed local files.
+- Matrix/partial streaming: add MSC4357 live markers to draft preview sends and edits so supporting Matrix clients can render a live/typewriter animation and stop it when the final edit lands. (#63513) Thanks @TigerInYourDream.
+- Control UI/dreaming: simplify the Scene and Diary surfaces, preserve unknown phase state for partial status payloads, and stabilize waiting-entry recency ordering so Dreaming status and review lists stay clear and deterministic. (#64035) Thanks @davemorin.
+- Agents: add an opt-in strict-agentic embedded Pi execution contract for GPT-5-family runs so plan-only or filler turns keep acting until they hit a real blocker. (#64241) Thanks @100yenadmin.
+- Agents/OpenAI: add provider-owned OpenAI/Codex tool schema compatibility and surface embedded-run replay/liveness state for long-running runs. (#64300) Thanks @100yenadmin.
+- Dreaming/memory-wiki: add ChatGPT import ingestion plus new `Imported Insights` and `Memory Palace` diary subtabs so Dreaming can inspect imported source chats, compiled wiki pages, and full source pages directly from the UI. (#64505)
+
+### Fixes
+
+- Browser/security: tighten browser and sandbox navigation defenses across strict SSRF defaults, hostname allowlists, interaction-driven redirects, subframes, CDP discovery, existing sessions, tab actions, noVNC, marker-span sanitization, and Docker CDP source-range enforcement. (#61404, #63332, #63882, #63885, #63889, #64367, #64370, #64371)
+- Security/tools: harden exec preflight reads, host env denylisting, node output boundaries, outbound host-media reads, profile-mutation authorization, plugin install dependency scanning, ACPX tool hooks, Gmail watcher token redaction, and oversized realtime WebSocket frame handling. (#62333, #62661, #62662, #63277, #63551, #63553, #63886, #63890, #63891, #64459)
+- OpenAI/Codex: add required Codex OAuth scopes, classify provider/runtime failures more clearly, stop suggesting `/elevated full` when auto-approved host exec is unavailable, add OpenAI/Codex tool-schema compatibility, and preserve embedded-run replay/liveness truth across compaction retries and mutating side effects. (#64300, #64439) Thanks @100yenadmin.
+- CLI/WhatsApp media sends: route gateway-mode outbound sends with `--media` through the channel `sendMedia` path and preserve media access context, so WhatsApp document and attachment sends stop silently dropping the file while still delivering the caption. (#64478, #64492) Thanks @ShionEria.
+- Microsoft Teams: restore media downloads for personal DMs, Bot Framework `a:` conversations, OneDrive/SharePoint shared files, and Graph-backed chat IDs; accept Bot Framework audience tokens; prevent feedback-learning filename collisions; keep long tool chains alive with typing indicators; add SSO sign-in callbacks; inject parent context for thread replies; and deliver cron announcements to Teams conversation IDs. (#54932, #55383, #55386, #58001, #58249, #58774, #59731, #60956, #62219, #62674, #63063, #63942, #63945, #63949, #63951, #63953, #64087, #64088, #64089)
 - Gateway/tailscale: start Tailscale exposure and the gateway update check before awaiting channel and plugin sidecar startup so remote operators are not locked out when startup sidecars stall.
+- Gateway/startup: keep WebSocket RPC available while channels and plugin sidecars start, hold `chat.history` unavailable until startup sidecars finish so synchronous history reads cannot stall startup (reported in #63450), refresh advertised gateway methods after deferred plugin reloads, and enforce the pre-auth WebSocket upgrade budget before the no-handler 503 path so upgrade floods cannot bypass connection limits during that window. (#63480) Thanks @neeravmakwana.
+- WhatsApp: keep inbound replies, media, composing indicators, and queued outbound deliveries attached to the current socket across reconnect gaps, including fresh retry-eligible sends after the listener comes back. (#30806, #46299, #62892, #63916) Thanks @mcaxtr.
+- Gateway/thread routing: preserve Slack, Telegram, Mattermost, Matrix, ACP, restart-sentinel, and agent announce delivery targets so subagent, cron, stream-relay, session fallback, and restart messages land back in the originating thread, topic, or room casing. (#54840, #57056, #63143, #63228, #63506, #64343, #64391)
+- Models/fallback: preserve `/models` selection across transient primary-model failures and config reloads, allow timeout cooldown probes, classify OpenRouter no-endpoints responses, detect llama.cpp context overflows, and keep provider/runtime context metadata stable through reloads. (#61472, #64196, #64471)
+- Agents/BTW: keep `/btw` side questions working after tool-use turns by stripping replayed tool blocks, hidden reasoning, and malformed image payloads, omitting empty tool arrays, allowing Bedrock `auth: "aws-sdk"`, and routing Feishu `/btw` plus `/stop` through bounded out-of-band lanes. (#64218, #64219, #64225, #64324) Thanks @ngutman.
+- Control UI/BTW: render `/btw` side results as dismissible ephemeral cards in the browser, send `/btw` immediately during active runs, and clear stale BTW cards on reset flows so webchat matches the intended detached side-question behavior. (#64290) Thanks @ngutman.
+- Commands/targeting: use the selected agent or session for command output, send policy, usage/cost, context reports, model lists, bash sandbox hints, BTW/compact working directories, plugin commands, and session exports so multi-agent commands describe and mutate the intended target instead of the requester.
+- Conversation bindings: normalize focused/current conversation ids, preserve binding metadata on account and Discord rebinds, avoid stale Discord lifecycle windows, and keep generic activity touches persisted so reply routing survives rebinds and restarts.
+- iMessage/self-chat: distinguish normal DM outbound rows from true self-chat using `destination_caller_id` plus chat participants, preserve multi-handle self-chat aliases, drop ambiguous reflected echoes, and strip wrapped imsg RPC text fields. (#61619, #63868, #63980, #63989, #64000) Thanks @neeravmakwana.
+- Matrix: keep multi-account room scoping consistent, keep packaged crypto migrations warning-only when appropriate, preserve ordered block streaming, add explicit Matrix block-streaming opt-in, and resolve verification/bootstrap from the packaged runtime entry. (#58449, #59249, #59266, #64373) Thanks @gumadeiras.
+- Telegram/security: tighten Telegram `allowFrom` sender validation and keep `/whoami` allowlist reporting in sync with command auth checks.
+- Agents/timeouts: extend the default LLM idle window to 120s and keep silent no-token idle timeouts on recovery paths, so slow models can retry or fall back before users see an error.
+- Gateway/agents: preserve configured model selection and richer `IDENTITY.md` content across agent create/update flows and workspace moves, and fail safely instead of silently overwriting unreadable identity files. (#61577) Thanks @samzong.
+- Skills/TaskFlow: restore valid frontmatter fences for the bundled `taskflow` and `taskflow-inbox-triage` skills and copy bundled `SKILL.md` files as hard dist-runtime copies so skills stay discoverable and loadable after updates. (#64166, #64469) Thanks @extrasmall0.
+- Skills: respect overridden home directories when loading personal skills so service, test, and custom launch environments read the intended user skill directory instead of the process home.
+- Windows/exec: settle supervisor waits from child exit state after stdout and stderr drain even when `close` never arrives, so CLI commands stop hanging or dying with forced `SIGKILL` on Windows. (#64072) Thanks @obviyus.
+- Browser/sandbox: prevent sandbox browser CDP startup hangs by recreating containers when the browser security hash changes and by waiting on the correct sandbox browser lifecycle. (#62873) Thanks @Syysean.
 - QQBot/streaming: make block streaming configurable per QQ bot account via `streaming.mode` (`"partial"` | `"off"`, default `"partial"`) instead of hardcoding it off, so responses can be delivered incrementally. (#63746)
+- QQBot/config: allow extra fields in `channels.qqbot` and `channels.qqbot.accounts.*` so extended qqbot builds can add new config options without gateway startup failing on schema validation. (#64075) Thanks @WideLee.
 - Dreaming/gateway: require `operator.admin` for persistent `/dreaming on|off` changes and treat missing gateway client scopes as unprivileged instead of silently allowing config writes. (#63872) Thanks @mbelinky.
-- Matrix/multi-account: keep room-level `account` scoping, inherited room overrides, and implicit account selection consistent across top-level default auth, named accounts, and cached-credential env setups. (#58449) thanks @Daanvdplas and @gumadeiras.
 - Gateway/pairing: prefer explicit QR bootstrap auth over earlier Tailscale auth classification so iOS `/pair qr` silent bootstrap pairing does not fall through to `pairing required`. (#59232) Thanks @ngutman.
-- WhatsApp/outbound queue: drain same-account pending WhatsApp deliveries when the listener reconnects, including fresh queued sends that are already retry-eligible, so reconnects recover deliverable outbound messages without waiting for another gateway restart. (#63916) Thanks @mcaxtr.
-- Config/Discord: coerce safe integer numeric Discord IDs to strings during config validation, keep unsafe or precision-losing numeric snowflakes rejected, and align `openclaw doctor` repair guidance with the same fail-closed behavior. (#45125) Thanks @moliendocode.
-- Gateway/sessions: scope bare `sessions.create` aliases like `main` to the requested agent while preserving the canonical `global` and `unknown` sentinel keys. (#58207) thanks @jalehman.
-- `/context detail` now compares the tracked prompt estimate with cached context usage and surfaces untracked provider/runtime overhead when present. (#28391) thanks @ImLukeF.
-- Gateway/session reset: emit the typed `before_reset` hook for gateway `/new` and `/reset`, preserving reset-hook behavior even when the previous transcript has already been archived. (#53872) thanks @VACInc
+- Browser/control: auto-generate browser-control auth tokens for `none` and `trusted-proxy` modes, and route browser auth/profile/doctor helpers through the public browser plugin facades. (#63280, #63957) Thanks @pgondhi987.
+- Browser/act: centralize `/act` request normalization and execution dispatch while adding stable machine-readable route-level error codes for invalid requests, selector misuse, evaluate-disabled gating, target mismatch, and existing-session unsupported actions. (#63977) Thanks @joshavant.
+- Security/QQBot: enforce media storage boundaries for all outbound local file paths and route image-size probes through SSRF-guarded media fetching instead of raw `fetch()`. (#63271, #63495) Thanks @pgondhi987.
+- Channel setup: ignore workspace plugin shadows when resolving trusted channel setup catalog entries so onboarding and setup flows keep using the bundled, trusted setup contract.
+- Gateway/memory startup: load the explicitly selected memory-slot plugin during gateway startup, while keeping restrictive allowlists and implicit default memory slots from auto-starting unrelated memory plugins. (#64423) Thanks @EronFan.
+- Config/plugins: let config writes keep disabled plugin entries without forcing required plugin config schemas or crashing raw plugin validation, and avoid re-activating plugin registry state during schema checks. (#54971, #63296) Thanks @fuller-stack-dev.
+- Config validation: surface the actual offending field for strict-schema union failures in bindings, including top-level unexpected keys on the matching ACP branch. (#40841) Thanks @Hollychou924.
+- Wizard/plugin config: coerce integer-typed plugin config fields from interactive text input so integer schema values persist as numbers instead of failing validation. (#63346) Thanks @jalehman.
+- Daemon/gateway install: preserve safe custom service env vars on forced reinstall, merge prior custom PATH segments behind the managed service PATH, and stop removed managed env keys from persisting as custom carryover. (#63136) Thanks @WarrenJones.
+- Cron/scheduling: treat `nextRunAtMs <= 0` as invalid across cron update, maintenance, timer, and stale-delivery paths so corrupted zero timestamps self-heal instead of causing immediate runs or skipped deliveries. (#63507) Thanks @WarrenJones.
+- Cron/auth: resolve auth profiles consistently for isolated cron jobs so scheduled runs use the same configured provider credentials as interactive sessions. (#62797) Thanks @neeravmakwana.
+- Tasks: let `openclaw tasks cancel` cancel stuck background tasks that never reached a normal terminal state. (#62506) Thanks @neeravmakwana.
+- Sessions/model selection: preserve catalog-backed session model labels, provider-qualified context limits, and already-qualified session model refs when catalog metadata is unavailable, so model selection and memory/context budgets survive reloads without bogus provider prefixes. (#61382, #62493) Thanks @Mule-ME.
+- Status: show configured fallback models in `/status` and shared session status cards so per-agent fallback configuration is visible before a live failover happens. (#33111) Thanks @AnCoSONG.
+- `/context detail` now compares the tracked prompt estimate with cached context usage and surfaces untracked provider/runtime overhead when present. (#28391) Thanks @ImLukeF.
+- Gateway/sessions: scope bare `sessions.create` aliases like `main` to the requested agent while preserving the canonical `global` and `unknown` sentinel keys. (#58207) Thanks @jalehman.
+- Gateway/session reset: emit the typed `before_reset` hook for gateway `/new` and `/reset`, preserving reset-hook behavior even when the previous transcript has already been archived. (#53872) Thanks @VACInc.
 - Plugins/commands: pass the active host `sessionKey` into plugin command contexts, and include `sessionId` when it is already available from the active session entry, so bundled and third-party commands can resolve the current conversation reliably. (#59044) Thanks @jalehman.
 - Agents/auth: honor `models.providers.*.authHeader` for pi embedded runner model requests by injecting `Authorization: Bearer <apiKey>` when requested. (#54390) Thanks @lndyzwdxhs.
-- Dreaming/cron: stop runtime cron reconciliation on ordinary user turns and only recover managed dreaming cron state during heartbeat-triggered dreaming checks, so unrelated chat traffic does not silently recreate removed jobs. (#63938) Thanks @mbelinky.
-- UI/compaction: keep the compaction indicator in a retry-pending state until the run actually finishes, so the UI does not show `Context compacted` before compaction actually finishes. (#55132) Thanks @mpz4life.
-- Cron/tool schemas: keep cron tool schemas strict-model-friendly while still preserving `failureAlert=false`, nullable `agentId`/`sessionKey`, and flattened add/update recovery for the newly exposed cron job fields. (#55043) Thanks @brunolorente.
+- Claude CLI: clear inherited Anthropic auth/header environment aliases before spawning Claude Code and add sanitized CLI backend auth-env diagnostics for debugging gateway-run provider selection.
+- Agents/failover: classify AbortError and stream-abort messages as timeout so Ollama NDJSON stream aborts stop showing `reason=unknown` in model fallback logs. (#58324) Thanks @yelog.
+- Fireworks/FirePass: disable Kimi K2.5 Turbo reasoning output by forcing thinking off on the FirePass path and hardening the provider wrapper so hidden reasoning no longer leaks into visible replies. (#63607) Thanks @frankekn.
+- Discord: update Carbon to v0.15.0. Thanks @thewilloftheshadow.
+- Config/Discord: coerce safe integer numeric Discord IDs to strings during config validation, keep unsafe or precision-losing numeric snowflakes rejected, and align `openclaw doctor` repair guidance with the same fail-closed behavior. (#45125) Thanks @moliendocode.
 - BlueBubbles/config: accept `enrichGroupParticipantsFromContacts` in the core strict config schema so gateways no longer fail validation or startup when the BlueBubbles plugin writes that field. (#56889) Thanks @zqchris.
-- Agents/failover: classify AbortError and stream-abort messages as timeout so Ollama NDJSON stream aborts stop showing `reason=unknown` in model fallback logs. (#58324) Thanks @yelog
-- Exec approvals: route Slack, Discord, and Telegram approvals through the shared channel approval-capability path so native approval auth, delivery, and `/approve` handling stay aligned across channels while preserving Telegram session-key agent filtering. (#58634) thanks @gumadeiras
-- Matrix/runtime: resolve the verification/bootstrap runtime from a distinct packaged Matrix entry so global npm installs stop failing on crypto bootstrap with missing-module or recursive runtime alias errors. (#59249) Thanks @gumadeiras.
-- Matrix/streaming: preserve ordered block flushes before tool, message, and agent boundaries, add explicit `channels.matrix.blockStreaming` opt-in so Matrix `streaming: "off"` stays final-only by default, and move MiniMax plain-text final handling into the MiniMax provider runtime instead of the shared core heuristic. (#59266) thanks @gumadeiras
-- Gateway/agents: fix stale run-context TTL cleanup so the new maintenance sweep compiles and resets orphaned run sequence state correctly. (#52731) thanks @artwalker
+- Feishu/webhooks: read webhook bodies through the pre-auth guard so unauthenticated webhook traffic stays under the same body budget as other protected channel ingress paths.
+- Tools/web_fetch: add an opt-in `tools.web.fetch.ssrfPolicy.allowRfc2544BenchmarkRange` config so fake-IP proxy environments that resolve public sites into `198.18.0.0/15` can use `web_fetch` without weakening the default SSRF block. (#61830) Thanks @xing-xing-coder.

+- Agents/exec: prevent gateway crash ("Agent listener invoked outside active run") when a subagent exec tool produces stdout/stderr after the agent run has ended or been aborted. (#62821) Thanks @openperf.
+- Gateway/OpenAI compat: return real `usage` for non-stream `/v1/chat/completions` responses, emit the final usage chunk when `stream_options.include_usage=true`, and bound usage-gated stream finalization after lifecycle end. (#62986) Thanks @Lellansin.
+- Matrix/migration: keep packaged warning-only crypto migrations from being misclassified as actionable when only helper chunks are present, so startup and doctor stay on the warning-only path instead of creating unnecessary migration snapshots. (#64373) Thanks @gumadeiras.
+- Matrix/ACP thread bindings: preserve canonical room casing and parent conversation routing during ACP session spawn so mixed-case room ids bind correctly from top-level rooms and existing Matrix threads. (#64343) Thanks @gumadeiras.
+- Agents/subagents: deduplicate delivered completion announces so retry or re-entry cleanup does not inject duplicate internal-context completion turns into the parent session. (#61525) Thanks @100yenadmin.
+- Agents/exec: keep sandboxed `tools.exec.host=auto` sessions from honoring per-call `host=node` or `host=gateway` overrides while a sandbox runtime is active, and stop advertising node routing in that state so exec stays on the sandbox host. (#63880)
+- Agents/subagents: preserve archived delete-mode runs until `sessions.delete` succeeds and prevent overlapping archive sweeps from duplicating in-flight cleanup attempts. (#61801) Thanks @100yenadmin.
+- Cron/isolated agent: run scheduled agent turns as non-owner senders so owner-only tools stay unavailable during cron execution. (#63878)
+- Discord/sandbox: include `image` in sandbox media param normalization so Discord event cover images cannot bypass sandbox path rewriting. (#64377) Thanks @mmaps.
+- Agents/exec: extend exec completion detection to cover local background exec formats so the owner-downgrade fires correctly for all exec paths. (#64376) Thanks @mmaps.

+- Browser/security: guard existing-session Chrome MCP interaction routes with SSRF post-checks so delayed navigation from click, type, press, and evaluate cannot bypass the configured policy. (#64370) Thanks @eleqtrizit.
+- Browser/security: default browser SSRF policy to strict mode so unconfigured installs block private-network navigation, and align external-content marker span mapping so ZWS-injected boundary spoofs are fully sanitized. (#63885) Thanks @eleqtrizit.
+- Browser/security: apply SSRF navigation policy to subframe document navigations so iframe-targeted private-network hops are blocked without quarantining the parent page. (#64371) Thanks @eleqtrizit.
+- Hooks/security: mark agent hook system events as untrusted and sanitize hook display names before cron metadata reuse. (#64372) Thanks @eleqtrizit.
+- Daemon/launchd: keep `openclaw gateway stop` persistent without uninstalling the macOS LaunchAgent, re-enable it on explicit restart or repair, and harden launchd label handling. (#64447) Thanks @ngutman.
+- Plugins/context engines: preserve `plugins.slots.contextEngine` through normalization and keep explicitly selected workspace context-engine plugins enabled, so loader diagnostics and plugin activation stop dropping that slot selection. (#64192) Thanks @hclsys.
+- Heartbeat: stop top-level `interval:` and `prompt:` fields outside the `tasks:` block from bleeding into the last parsed heartbeat task. (#64488) Thanks @Rahulkumar070.
+- Agents/OpenAI replay: preserve malformed function-call arguments in stored assistant history, avoid double-encoding preserved raw strings on replay, and coerce replayed string args back to objects at Anthropic and Google provider boundaries. (#61956) Thanks @100yenadmin.
+- Heartbeat/config: accept and honor `agents.defaults.heartbeat.timeoutSeconds` and per-agent heartbeat timeout overrides for heartbeat agent turns. (#64491) Thanks @cedillarack.
+- CLI/devices: make implicit `openclaw devices approve` selection preview-only and require approving the exact request ID, preventing latest-request races during device pairing. (#64160) Thanks @coygeek.
+- Media/security: honor sender-scoped `toolsBySender` policy for outbound host-media reads so denied senders cannot trigger host file disclosure via attachment hydration. (#64459) Thanks @eleqtrizit.
+- Browser/security: reject strict-policy hostname navigation unless the hostname is an explicit allowlist exception or IP literal, and route CDP HTTP discovery through the pinned SSRF fetch path. (#64367) Thanks @eleqtrizit.
+- Models/vLLM: ignore empty `tool_calls` arrays from reasoning-model OpenAI-compatible replies, reset false `toolUse` stop reasons when no actual tool calls were parsed, and stop sending `tool_choice` unless tools are present so vLLM reasoning responses no longer hang indefinitely. (#61197, #61534) Thanks @balajisiva.
+- Heartbeat/scheduling: spread interval heartbeats across stable per-agent phases derived from gateway identity, so provider traffic is distributed more uniformly across the configured interval instead of clustering around startup-relative times. (#64560) Thanks @odysseus0.
+- Config/media: accept `tools.media.asyncCompletion.directSend` in strict config validation so gateways no longer reject the generated-schema-backed async media completion setting at startup. (#63618) Thanks @qiziAI.

Providers opt into `providerOptions` by declaring a typed `capabilities.providerOptions` schema (`{ seed: "number", draft: "boolean", ... }`); unknown keys and type mismatches cause the runtime fallback loop to skip the candidate with a visible warning and an `attempts` entry, so vendor-specific options never silently reach the wrong provider.

+# OpenClaw Incident Response Plan
+
+## 1. Detection and triage
+
+We monitor security signals from:
+
+- GitHub Security Advisories (GHSA) and private vulnerability reports.
+- Public GitHub issues/discussions when reports are not sensitive.
+- Official plublic discussion groups and channels (i.e. Discord and X).
+- Automated signals (for example Dependabot, CodeQL, npm advisories, and secret scanning).
+
+Initial triage:
+
+1. Confirm affected component, version, and trust boundary impact.
+2. Classify as security issue vs hardening/no-action using the repository `SECURITY.md` scope and out-of-scope rules.
+3. An incident owner responds accordingly.
+
+## 2. Assessment
+
+Severity guide:
+
+- **Critical:** Package/release/repository compromise, active exploitation, or unauthenticated trust-boundary bypass with high-impact control or data exposure.
+- **High:** Verified trust-boundary bypass requiring limited preconditions (for example authenticated but unauthorized high-impact action), or exposure of OpenClaw-owned sensitive credentials.
+- **Medium:** Significant security weakness with practical impact but constrained exploitability or substantial prerequisites.
+- **Low:** Defense-in-depth findings, narrowly scoped denial-of-service, or hardening/parity gaps without a demonstrated trust-boundary bypass.
+
+## 3. Response
+
+1. Acknowledge receipt to the reporter (private when sensitive).
+2. Reproduce on supported releases and latest `main`, then implement and validate a patch with regression coverage.
+3. For critical/high incidents, prepare patched release(s) as fast as practical.
+4. For medium/low incidents, patch in normal release flow and document mitigation guidance.
+
+## 4. Communication
+
+We communicate through:
+
+- GitHub Security Advisories in the affected repository.
+- Release notes/changelog entries for fixed versions.
+- Direct reporter follow-up on status and resolution.
+
+Disclosure policy:
+
+- Critical/high incidents should receive coordinated disclosure, with CVE issuance when appropriate.
+- Low-risk hardening findings may be documented in release notes or advisories without CVE, depending on impact and user exposure.
+
+## 5. Recovery and follow-up
+
+After shipping the fix:
+
+1. Verify remediations in CI and release artifacts.
+2. Run a short post-incident review (timeline, root cause, detection gap, prevention plan).
+3. Add follow-up hardening/tests/docs tasks and track them to completion.

+<h3>Changes</h3>
+<ul>
+<li>Models/Codex: add the bundled Codex provider and plugin-owned app-server harness so <code>codex/gpt-*</code> models use Codex-managed auth, native threads, model discovery, and compaction while <code>openai/gpt-*</code> stays on the normal OpenAI provider path. (#64298)</li>
+<li>Memory/Active Memory: add a new optional Active Memory plugin that gives OpenClaw a dedicated memory sub-agent right before the main reply, so ongoing chats can automatically pull in relevant preferences, context, and past details without making users remember to manually say "remember this" or "search memory" first. Includes configurable message/recent/full context modes, live <code>/verbose</code> inspection, advanced prompt/thinking overrides for tuning, and opt-in transcript persistence for debugging. Docs: https://docs.openclaw.ai/concepts/active-memory. (#63286) Thanks @Takhoffman.</li>
+<li>macOS/Talk: add an experimental local MLX speech provider for Talk Mode, with explicit provider selection, local utterance playback, interruption handling, and system-voice fallback. (#63539) Thanks @ImLukeF.</li>
+<li>Tools/video generation: add Seedance 2.0 model refs to the bundled fal provider and submit the provider-specific duration, resolution, audio, and seed metadata fields needed for live Seedance 2.0 runs.</li>
+<li>Microsoft Teams: add message actions for pin, unpin, read, react, and listing reactions. (#53432) Thanks @sudie-codes.</li>
+<li>QA/Matrix: add a live <code>openclaw qa matrix</code> lane backed by a disposable Matrix homeserver, shared live-transport seams, and Matrix-specific transport coverage for threading, reactions, restart, and allowlist behavior. (#64489) Thanks @gumadeiras.</li>
+<li>QA/Telegram: add a live <code>openclaw qa telegram</code> lane for private-group bot-to-bot checks, harden its artifact handling, and preserve native Telegram command reply threading for QA verification. (#64303) Thanks @obviyus.</li>
+<li>QA/testing: add a <code>--runner multipass</code> lane for <code>openclaw qa suite</code> so repo-backed QA scenarios can run inside a disposable Linux VM and write back the usual report, summary, and VM logs. (#63426) Thanks @shakkernerd.</li>
+<li>CLI/exec policy: add a local <code>openclaw exec-policy</code> command with <code>show</code>, <code>preset</code>, and <code>set</code> subcommands for synchronizing requested <code>tools.exec.*</code> config with the local exec approvals file, plus follow-up hardening for node-host rejection, rollback safety, and sync conflict detection. (#64050)</li>
+<li>Gateway: add a <code>commands.list</code> RPC so remote gateway clients can discover runtime-native, text, skill, and plugin commands with surface-aware naming and serialized argument metadata. (#62656) Thanks @samzong.</li>
+<li>Models/providers: add per-provider <code>models.providers.*.request.allowPrivateNetwork</code> for trusted self-hosted OpenAI-compatible endpoints, keep the opt-in scoped to model request surfaces, and refresh cached WebSocket managers when request transport overrides change. (#63671) Thanks @qas.</li>
+<li>Feishu: standardize request user agents and register the bot as an AI agent so Feishu deployments identify OpenClaw consistently. (#63835) Thanks @evandance.</li>
+<li>Matrix/partial streaming: add MSC4357 live markers to draft preview sends and edits so supporting Matrix clients can render a live/typewriter animation and stop it when the final edit lands. (#63513) Thanks @TigerInYourDream.</li>
+<li>Control UI/dreaming: simplify the Scene and Diary surfaces, preserve unknown phase state for partial status payloads, and stabilize waiting-entry recency ordering so Dreaming status and review lists stay clear and deterministic. (#64035) Thanks @davemorin.</li>
+<li>Agents: add an opt-in strict-agentic embedded Pi execution contract for GPT-5-family runs so plan-only or filler turns keep acting until they hit a real blocker. (#64241) Thanks @100yenadmin.</li>
+<li>Agents/OpenAI: add provider-owned OpenAI/Codex tool schema compatibility and surface embedded-run replay/liveness state for long-running runs. (#64300) Thanks @100yenadmin.</li>
+<li>Docs i18n: chunk raw doc translation, reject truncated tagged outputs, avoid ambiguous body-only wrapper unwrapping, and recover from terminated Pi translation sessions without changing the default <code>openai/gpt-5.4</code> path. (#62969, #63808) Thanks @hxy91819.</li>
+</ul>
+<h3>Fixes</h3>
+<ul>
+<li>Browser/security: tighten browser and sandbox navigation defenses across strict SSRF defaults, hostname allowlists, interaction-driven redirects, subframes, CDP discovery, existing sessions, tab actions, noVNC, marker-span sanitization, and Docker CDP source-range enforcement. (#61404, #63332, #63882, #63885, #63889, #64367, #64370, #64371)</li>
+<li>Security/tools: harden exec preflight reads, host env denylisting, node output boundaries, outbound host-media reads, profile-mutation authorization, plugin install dependency scanning, ACPX tool hooks, Gmail watcher token redaction, and oversized realtime WebSocket frame handling. (#62333, #62661, #62662, #63277, #63551, #63553, #63886, #63890, #63891, #64459)</li>
+<li>OpenAI/Codex: add required Codex OAuth scopes, classify provider/runtime failures more clearly, stop suggesting <code>/elevated full</code> when auto-approved host exec is unavailable, add OpenAI/Codex tool-schema compatibility, and preserve embedded-run replay/liveness truth across compaction retries and mutating side effects. (#64300, #64439) Thanks @100yenadmin.</li>
+<li>CLI/WhatsApp media sends: route gateway-mode outbound sends with <code>--media</code> through the channel <code>sendMedia</code> path and preserve media access context, so WhatsApp document and attachment sends stop silently dropping the file while still delivering the caption. (#64478, #64492) Thanks @ShionEria.</li>
+<li>Microsoft Teams: restore media downloads for personal DMs, Bot Framework <code>a:</code> conversations, OneDrive/SharePoint shared files, and Graph-backed chat IDs; accept Bot Framework audience tokens; prevent feedback-learning filename collisions; keep long tool chains alive with typing indicators; add SSO sign-in callbacks; inject parent context for thread replies; and deliver cron announcements to Teams conversation IDs. (#54932, #55383, #55386, #58001, #58249, #58774, #59731, #60956, #62219, #62674, #63063, #63942, #63945, #63949, #63951, #63953, #64087, #64088, #64089)</li>
+<li>Gateway/tailscale: start Tailscale exposure and the gateway update check before awaiting channel and plugin sidecar startup so remote operators are not locked out when startup sidecars stall.</li>
+<li>Gateway/startup: keep WebSocket RPC available while channels and plugin sidecars start, hold <code>chat.history</code> unavailable until startup sidecars finish so synchronous history reads cannot stall startup (reported in #63450), refresh advertised gateway methods after deferred plugin reloads, and enforce the pre-auth WebSocket upgrade budget before the no-handler 503 path so upgrade floods cannot bypass connection limits during that window. (#63480) Thanks @neeravmakwana.</li>
+<li>WhatsApp: keep inbound replies, media, composing indicators, and queued outbound deliveries attached to the current socket across reconnect gaps, including fresh retry-eligible sends after the listener comes back. (#30806, #46299, #62892, #63916) Thanks @mcaxtr.</li>
+<li>Gateway/thread routing: preserve Slack, Telegram, Mattermost, Matrix, ACP, restart-sentinel, and agent announce delivery targets so subagent, cron, stream-relay, session fallback, and restart messages land back in the originating thread, topic, or room casing. (#54840, #57056, #63143, #63228, #63506, #64343, #64391)</li>
+<li>Models/fallback: preserve <code>/models</code> selection across transient primary-model failures and config reloads, allow timeout cooldown probes, classify OpenRouter no-endpoints responses, detect llama.cpp context overflows, and keep provider/runtime context metadata stable through reloads. (#61472, #64196, #64471)</li>
+<li>Agents/BTW: keep <code>/btw</code> side questions working after tool-use turns by stripping replayed tool blocks, hidden reasoning, and malformed image payloads, omitting empty tool arrays, allowing Bedrock <code>auth: "aws-sdk"</code>, and routing Feishu <code>/btw</code> plus <code>/stop</code> through bounded out-of-band lanes. (#64218, #64219, #64225, #64324) Thanks @ngutman.</li>
+<li>Control UI/BTW: render <code>/btw</code> side results as dismissible ephemeral cards in the browser, send <code>/btw</code> immediately during active runs, and clear stale BTW cards on reset flows so webchat matches the intended detached side-question behavior. (#64290) Thanks @ngutman.</li>
+<li>Commands/targeting: use the selected agent or session for command output, send policy, usage/cost, context reports, model lists, bash sandbox hints, BTW/compact working directories, plugin commands, and session exports so multi-agent commands describe and mutate the intended target instead of the requester.</li>
+<li>Conversation bindings: normalize focused/current conversation ids, preserve binding metadata on account and Discord rebinds, avoid stale Discord lifecycle windows, and keep generic activity touches persisted so reply routing survives rebinds and restarts.</li>
+<li>iMessage/self-chat: distinguish normal DM outbound rows from true self-chat using <code>destination_caller_id</code> plus chat participants, preserve multi-handle self-chat aliases, drop ambiguous reflected echoes, and strip wrapped imsg RPC text fields. (#61619, #63868, #63980, #63989, #64000) Thanks @neeravmakwana.</li>
+<li>Matrix: keep multi-account room scoping consistent, keep packaged crypto migrations warning-only when appropriate, preserve ordered block streaming, add explicit Matrix block-streaming opt-in, and resolve verification/bootstrap from the packaged runtime entry. (#58449, #59249, #59266, #64373) Thanks @gumadeiras.</li>
+<li>Telegram/security: tighten Telegram <code>allowFrom</code> sender validation and keep <code>/whoami</code> allowlist reporting in sync with command auth checks.</li>
+<li>Agents/timeouts: extend the default LLM idle window to 120s and keep silent no-token idle timeouts on recovery paths, so slow models can retry or fall back before users see an error.</li>
+<li>Gateway/agents: preserve configured model selection and richer <code>IDENTITY.md</code> content across agent create/update flows and workspace moves, and fail safely instead of silently overwriting unreadable identity files. (#61577) Thanks @samzong.</li>
+<li>Skills/TaskFlow: restore valid frontmatter fences for the bundled <code>taskflow</code> and <code>taskflow-inbox-triage</code> skills and copy bundled <code>SKILL.md</code> files as hard dist-runtime copies so skills stay discoverable and loadable after updates. (#64166, #64469) Thanks @extrasmall0.</li>
+<li>Skills: respect overridden home directories when loading personal skills so service, test, and custom launch environments read the intended user skill directory instead of the process home.</li>
+<li>Windows/exec: settle supervisor waits from child exit state after stdout and stderr drain even when <code>close</code> never arrives, so CLI commands stop hanging or dying with forced <code>SIGKILL</code> on Windows. (#64072) Thanks @obviyus.</li>
+<li>Browser/sandbox: prevent sandbox browser CDP startup hangs by recreating containers when the browser security hash changes and by waiting on the correct sandbox browser lifecycle. (#62873) Thanks @Syysean.</li>
+<li>QQBot/streaming: make block streaming configurable per QQ bot account via <code>streaming.mode</code> (<code>"partial"</code> | <code>"off"</code>, default <code>"partial"</code>) instead of hardcoding it off, so responses can be delivered incrementally. (#63746)</li>
+<li>QQBot/config: allow extra fields in <code>channels.qqbot</code> and <code>channels.qqbot.accounts.*</code> so extended qqbot builds can add new config options without gateway startup failing on schema validation. (#64075) Thanks @WideLee.</li>
+<li>Dreaming/gateway: require <code>operator.admin</code> for persistent <code>/dreaming on|off</code> changes and treat missing gateway client scopes as unprivileged instead of silently allowing config writes. (#63872) Thanks @mbelinky.</li>
+<li>Gateway/pairing: prefer explicit QR bootstrap auth over earlier Tailscale auth classification so iOS <code>/pair qr</code> silent bootstrap pairing does not fall through to <code>pairing required</code>. (#59232) Thanks @ngutman.</li>
+<li>Browser/control: auto-generate browser-control auth tokens for <code>none</code> and <code>trusted-proxy</code> modes, and route browser auth/profile/doctor helpers through the public browser plugin facades. (#63280, #63957) Thanks @pgondhi987.</li>
+<li>Browser/act: centralize <code>/act</code> request normalization and execution dispatch while adding stable machine-readable route-level error codes for invalid requests, selector misuse, evaluate-disabled gating, target mismatch, and existing-session unsupported actions. (#63977) Thanks @joshavant.</li>
+<li>Security/QQBot: enforce media storage boundaries for all outbound local file paths and route image-size probes through SSRF-guarded media fetching instead of raw <code>fetch()</code>. (#63271, #63495) Thanks @pgondhi987.</li>
+<li>Channel setup: ignore workspace plugin shadows when resolving trusted channel setup catalog entries so onboarding and setup flows keep using the bundled, trusted setup contract.</li>
+<li>Gateway/memory startup: load the explicitly selected memory-slot plugin during gateway startup, while keeping restrictive allowlists and implicit default memory slots from auto-starting unrelated memory plugins. (#64423) Thanks @EronFan.</li>
+<li>Config/plugins: let config writes keep disabled plugin entries without forcing required plugin config schemas or crashing raw plugin validation, and avoid re-activating plugin registry state during schema checks. (#54971, #63296) Thanks @fuller-stack-dev.</li>
+<li>Config validation: surface the actual offending field for strict-schema union failures in bindings, including top-level unexpected keys on the matching ACP branch. (#40841) Thanks @Hollychou924.</li>
+<li>Wizard/plugin config: coerce integer-typed plugin config fields from interactive text input so integer schema values persist as numbers instead of failing validation. (#63346) Thanks @jalehman.</li>
+<li>Daemon/gateway install: preserve safe custom service env vars on forced reinstall, merge prior custom PATH segments behind the managed service PATH, and stop removed managed env keys from persisting as custom carryover. (#63136) Thanks @WarrenJones.</li>
+<li>Cron/scheduling: treat <code>nextRunAtMs <= 0</code> as invalid across cron update, maintenance, timer, and stale-delivery paths so corrupted zero timestamps self-heal instead of causing immediate runs or skipped deliveries. (#63507) Thanks @WarrenJones.</li>
+<li>Cron/auth: resolve auth profiles consistently for isolated cron jobs so scheduled runs use the same configured provider credentials as interactive sessions. (#62797) Thanks @neeravmakwana.</li>
+<li>Tasks: let <code>openclaw tasks cancel</code> cancel stuck background tasks that never reached a normal terminal state. (#62506) Thanks @neeravmakwana.</li>
+<li>Sessions/model selection: preserve catalog-backed session model labels, provider-qualified context limits, and already-qualified session model refs when catalog metadata is unavailable, so model selection and memory/context budgets survive reloads without bogus provider prefixes. (#61382, #62493) Thanks @Mule-ME.</li>
+<li>Status: show configured fallback models in <code>/status</code> and shared session status cards so per-agent fallback configuration is visible before a live failover happens. (#33111) Thanks @AnCoSONG.</li>
+<li><code>/context detail</code> now compares the tracked prompt estimate with cached context usage and surfaces untracked provider/runtime overhead when present. (#28391) Thanks @ImLukeF.</li>
+<li>Gateway/sessions: scope bare <code>sessions.create</code> aliases like <code>main</code> to the requested agent while preserving the canonical <code>global</code> and <code>unknown</code> sentinel keys. (#58207) Thanks @jalehman.</li>
+<li>Gateway/session reset: emit the typed <code>before_reset</code> hook for gateway <code>/new</code> and <code>/reset</code>, preserving reset-hook behavior even when the previous transcript has already been archived. (#53872) Thanks @VACInc.</li>
+<li>Plugins/commands: pass the active host <code>sessionKey</code> into plugin command contexts, and include <code>sessionId</code> when it is already available from the active session entry, so bundled and third-party commands can resolve the current conversation reliably. (#59044) Thanks @jalehman.</li>
+<li>Agents/auth: honor <code>models.providers.*.authHeader</code> for pi embedded runner model requests by injecting <code>Authorization: Bearer <apiKey></code> when requested. (#54390) Thanks @lndyzwdxhs.</li>
+<li>Claude CLI: clear inherited Anthropic auth/header environment aliases before spawning Claude Code and add sanitized CLI backend auth-env diagnostics for debugging gateway-run provider selection.</li>
+<li>Agents/failover: classify AbortError and stream-abort messages as timeout so Ollama NDJSON stream aborts stop showing <code>reason=unknown</code> in model fallback logs. (#58324) Thanks @yelog.</li>
+<li>Fireworks/FirePass: disable Kimi K2.5 Turbo reasoning output by forcing thinking off on the FirePass path and hardening the provider wrapper so hidden reasoning no longer leaks into visible replies. (#63607) Thanks @frankekn.</li>
+<li>Discord: update Carbon to v0.15.0. Thanks @thewilloftheshadow.</li>
+<li>Config/Discord: coerce safe integer numeric Discord IDs to strings during config validation, keep unsafe or precision-losing numeric snowflakes rejected, and align <code>openclaw doctor</code> repair guidance with the same fail-closed behavior. (#45125) Thanks @moliendocode.</li>
+<li>BlueBubbles/config: accept <code>enrichGroupParticipantsFromContacts</code> in the core strict config schema so gateways no longer fail validation or startup when the BlueBubbles plugin writes that field. (#56889) Thanks @zqchris.</li>
+<li>Feishu/webhooks: read webhook bodies through the pre-auth guard so unauthenticated webhook traffic stays under the same body budget as other protected channel ingress paths.</li>
+<li>Tools/web_fetch: add an opt-in <code>tools.web.fetch.ssrfPolicy.allowRfc2544BenchmarkRange</code> config so fake-IP proxy environments that resolve public sites into <code>198.18.0.0/15</code> can use <code>web_fetch</code> without weakening the default SSRF block. (#61830) Thanks @xing-xing-coder.</li>
+<li>Dreaming/cron: reconcile managed dreaming cron from startup config and runtime lifecycle changes, but only recover managed dreaming cron state during heartbeat-triggered dreaming checks so ordinary chat traffic does not recreate removed jobs. (#63873, #63929, #63938) Thanks @mbelinky.</li>
+<li>Memory/lancedb: accept <code>dreaming</code> config when <code>memory-lancedb</code> owns the memory slot so Dreaming surfaces can read slot-owner settings without schema rejection. (#63874) Thanks @mbelinky.</li>
+<li>Control UI/dreaming: keep the Dreaming trace area contained and scrollable so overlays no longer cover tabs or blow out the page layout. (#63875) Thanks @mbelinky.</li>
+<li>Dreaming/narrative: harden request-scoped diary fallback so scheduled dreaming only falls back on the dedicated subagent-runtime error, stop trusting spoofable raw error-code objects, and avoid leaking workspace paths when local fallback writes fail. (#64156) Thanks @mbelinky.</li>
+<li>Dreaming/diary: add idempotent narrative subagent runs, preserve restrictive <code>DREAMS.md</code> permissions during atomic writes, and surface temp cleanup failures so repeated sweeps do not double-run the same narrative request or silently weaken diary safety. (#63876) Thanks @mbelinky.</li>
+<li>Heartbeats/sessions: remove stale accumulated isolated heartbeat session keys when the next tick converges them back to the canonical sibling, so repaired sessions stop showing orphaned <code>:heartbeat:heartbeat</code> variants in session listings. (#59606) Thanks @rogerdigital.</li>
+<li>Gateway/run cleanup: fix stale run-context TTL cleanup so the new maintenance sweep resets orphaned run sequence state and prevents unbounded run-context growth. (#52731) Thanks @artwalker.</li>
+<li>UI/compaction: keep the compaction indicator in a retry-pending state until the run actually finishes, so the UI does not show <code>Context compacted</code> before compaction actually finishes. (#55132) Thanks @mpz4life.</li>
+<li>Cron/tool schemas: keep cron tool schemas strict-model-friendly while still preserving <code>failureAlert=false</code>, nullable <code>agentId</code>/<code>sessionKey</code>, and flattened add/update recovery for the newly exposed cron job fields. (#55043) Thanks @brunolorente.</li>
+<li>Git metadata: read commit ids from packed refs as well as loose refs so version and status metadata stay accurate after repository maintenance. (#63943)</li>
+<li>Gateway: keep <code>commands.list</code> skill entries categorized under tools and include provider-aware plugin <code>nativeName</code> metadata even when <code>scope=text</code>, so remote clients can group skills correctly and map text-surface plugin commands back to native aliases. (#64147)</li>
+<li>TUI: reset footer activity to idle when switching sessions so a stale streaming indicator cannot persist after the selection changes. (#63988) Thanks @neeravmakwana.</li>
+<li>Claude CLI: stop marking spawned Claude Code runs as host-managed so they keep using normal CLI subscription behavior. (#64023) Thanks @Alex-Alaniz.</li>
+<li>Codex auth: brand Codex OAuth flows as OpenClaw in user-visible auth prompts and diagnostics.</li>
+<li>Gateway/pairing: fail closed for paired device records that have no device tokens, and reject pairing approvals whose requested scopes do not match the requested device roles.</li>
+<li>ACP/gateway chat: classify lifecycle errors before forwarding them to ACP clients so refusals use ACP's refusal stop reason while transient backend errors continue to finish as normal turns.</li>
+<li>Claude CLI/skills: pass eligible OpenClaw skills into CLI runs, including native Claude Code skill resolution via a temporary plugin plus per-run skill env/API key injection. (#62686, #62723) Thanks @zomars.</li>
+<li>Discord: keep generated auto-thread names working with reasoning models by giving title generation enough output budget for thinking plus visible title text. (#64172) Thanks @hanamizuki.</li>
+<li>Heartbeat: ignore doc-only Markdown fence markers in the default <code>HEARTBEAT.md</code> template so comment-only heartbeat scaffolds skip API calls again. (#61690, #63434) Thanks @ravyg.</li>
+<li>Reply/skills: keep resolved skill and memory secret config stable through embedded reply runs so raw SecretRefs in secondary skill settings no longer crash replies when the gateway already has the live env. (#64249) Thanks @mbelinky.</li>
+<li>Dreaming/startup: keep plugin-registered startup hooks alive across workspace hook reloads and include dreaming startup owners in the gateway startup plugin scope, so managed Dreaming cron registration comes back reliably after gateway boot. (#62327, #64258) Thanks @mbelinky.</li>
+<li>Plugins: treat duplicate <code>registerService</code> calls from the same plugin id as idempotent so snapshot and activation loads no longer emit spurious <code>service already registered</code> diagnostics. (#62033, #64128) Thanks @ly85206559.</li>
+<li>Discord/TTS: route auto voice replies through the native voice-note path so Discord receives Opus voice messages instead of regular audio attachments. (#64096) Thanks @LiuHuaize.</li>
+<li>Config/plugins: use plugin-owned command alias metadata when <code>plugins.allow</code> contains runtime command names like <code>dreaming</code>, and point users at the owning plugin instead of stale plugin-not-found guidance. (#64191, #64242) Thanks @feiskyer.</li>
+<li>Agents/Gemini: strip orphaned <code>required</code> entries from Gemini tool schemas so provider validation no longer rejects tools after schema cleanup or union flattening. (#64284) Thanks @xxxxxmax.</li>
+<li>Assistant text: strip Qwen-style XML tool call payloads from visible replies so web and channel messages no longer show raw <code><tool_call><function=...></code> output. (#63999, #64214) Thanks @MoerAI.</li>
+<li>Daemon/gateway: prevent systemd restart storms on configuration errors by exiting with <code>EX_CONFIG</code> and adding generated unit restart-prevention guards. (#63913) Thanks @neo1027144-creator.</li>
+<li>Agents/exec: prevent gateway crash ("Agent listener invoked outside active run") when a subagent exec tool produces stdout/stderr after the agent run has ended or been aborted. (#62821) Thanks @openperf.</li>
+<li>Gateway/OpenAI compat: return real <code>usage</code> for non-stream <code>/v1/chat/completions</code> responses, emit the final usage chunk when <code>stream_options.include_usage=true</code>, and bound usage-gated stream finalization after lifecycle end. (#62986) Thanks @Lellansin.</li>
+<li>Matrix/migration: keep packaged warning-only crypto migrations from being misclassified as actionable when only helper chunks are present, so startup and doctor stay on the warning-only path instead of creating unnecessary migration snapshots. (#64373) Thanks @gumadeiras.</li>
+<li>Matrix/ACP thread bindings: preserve canonical room casing and parent conversation routing during ACP session spawn so mixed-case room ids bind correctly from top-level rooms and existing Matrix threads. (#64343) Thanks @gumadeiras.</li>
+<li>Agents/subagents: deduplicate delivered completion announces so retry or re-entry cleanup does not inject duplicate internal-context completion turns into the parent session. (#61525) Thanks @100yenadmin.</li>
+<li>Agents/exec: keep sandboxed <code>tools.exec.host=auto</code> sessions from honoring per-call <code>host=node</code> or <code>host=gateway</code> overrides while a sandbox runtime is active, and stop advertising node routing in that state so exec stays on the sandbox host. (#63880)</li>
+<li>Agents/subagents: preserve archived delete-mode runs until <code>sessions.delete</code> succeeds and prevent overlapping archive sweeps from duplicating in-flight cleanup attempts. (#61801) Thanks @100yenadmin.</li>
+<li>Cron/isolated agent: run scheduled agent turns as non-owner senders so owner-only tools stay unavailable during cron execution. (#63878)</li>
+<li>Discord/sandbox: include <code>image</code> in sandbox media param normalization so Discord event cover images cannot bypass sandbox path rewriting. (#64377) Thanks @mmaps.</li>
+<li>Agents/exec: extend exec completion detection to cover local background exec formats so the owner-downgrade fires correctly for all exec paths. (#64376) Thanks @mmaps.</li>
+<li>Security/dependencies: pin axios to 1.15.0 and add a plugin install dependency denylist that blocks known malicious packages before install. (#63891) Thanks @mmaps.</li>
+<li>Browser/security: apply three-phase interaction navigation guard to pressKey and type(submit) so delayed JS redirects from keypress cannot bypass SSRF policy. (#63889) Thanks @mmaps.</li>
+</ul>
+<ul>
+<li>Browser/security: guard existing-session Chrome MCP interaction routes with SSRF post-checks so delayed navigation from click, type, press, and evaluate cannot bypass the configured policy. (#64370) Thanks @eleqtrizit.</li>
+<li>Browser/security: default browser SSRF policy to strict mode so unconfigured installs block private-network navigation, and align external-content marker span mapping so ZWS-injected boundary spoofs are fully sanitized. (#63885) Thanks @eleqtrizit.</li>
+<li>Browser/security: apply SSRF navigation policy to subframe document navigations so iframe-targeted private-network hops are blocked without quarantining the parent page. (#64371) Thanks @eleqtrizit.</li>
+<li>Hooks/security: mark agent hook system events as untrusted and sanitize hook display names before cron metadata reuse. (#64372) Thanks @eleqtrizit.</li>
+<li>Daemon/launchd: keep <code>openclaw gateway stop</code> persistent without uninstalling the macOS LaunchAgent, re-enable it on explicit restart or repair, and harden launchd label handling. (#64447) Thanks @ngutman.</li>
+<li>Plugins/context engines: preserve <code>plugins.slots.contextEngine</code> through normalization and keep explicitly selected workspace context-engine plugins enabled, so loader diagnostics and plugin activation stop dropping that slot selection. (#64192) Thanks @hclsys.</li>
+<li>Heartbeat: stop top-level <code>interval:</code> and <code>prompt:</code> fields outside the <code>tasks:</code> block from bleeding into the last parsed heartbeat task. (#64488) Thanks @Rahulkumar070.</li>
+<li>Agents/OpenAI replay: preserve malformed function-call arguments in stored assistant history, avoid double-encoding preserved raw strings on replay, and coerce replayed string args back to objects at Anthropic and Google provider boundaries. (#61956) Thanks @100yenadmin.</li>
+<li>Heartbeat/config: accept and honor <code>agents.defaults.heartbeat.timeoutSeconds</code> and per-agent heartbeat timeout overrides for heartbeat agent turns. (#64491) Thanks @cedillarack.</li>
+<li>CLI/devices: make implicit <code>openclaw devices approve</code> selection preview-only and require approving the exact request ID, preventing latest-request races during device pairing. (#64160) Thanks @coygeek.</li>
+<li>Media/security: honor sender-scoped <code>toolsBySender</code> policy for outbound host-media reads so denied senders cannot trigger host file disclosure via attachment hydration. (#64459) Thanks @eleqtrizit.</li>
+<li>Browser/security: reject strict-policy hostname navigation unless the hostname is an explicit allowlist exception or IP literal, and route CDP HTTP discovery through the pinned SSRF fetch path. (#64367) Thanks @eleqtrizit.</li>
+<li>Models/vLLM: ignore empty <code>tool_calls</code> arrays from reasoning-model OpenAI-compatible replies, reset false <code>toolUse</code> stop reasons when no actual tool calls were parsed, and stop sending <code>tool_choice</code> unless tools are present so vLLM reasoning responses no longer hang indefinitely. (#61197, #61534) Thanks @balajisiva.</li>
+<li>Heartbeat/scheduling: spread interval heartbeats across stable per-agent phases derived from gateway identity, so provider traffic is distributed more uniformly across the configured interval instead of clustering around startup-relative times. (#64560) Thanks @odysseus0.</li>

-<h3>Changes</h3>
-<ul>
-<li>CLI/infer: add a first-class <code>openclaw infer ...</code> hub for provider-backed inference workflows across model, media, web, and embedding tasks. Thanks @Takhoffman.</li>
-<li>Tools/media generation: auto-fallback across auth-backed image, music, and video providers by default, preserve intent during provider switches, remap size/aspect/resolution/duration hints to the closest supported option, and surface provider capabilities plus mode-aware video-to-video support.</li>
-<li>Memory/wiki: restore the bundled <code>memory-wiki</code> stack with plugin, CLI, sync/query/apply tooling, memory-host integration, structured claim/evidence fields, compiled digest retrieval, claim-health linting, contradiction clustering, staleness dashboards, and freshness-weighted search. Thanks @vincentkoc.</li>
-<li>Plugins/webhooks: add a bundled webhook ingress plugin so external automation can create and drive bound TaskFlows through per-route shared-secret endpoints. (#61892) Thanks @mbelinky.</li>
-<li>Gateway/sessions: add persisted compaction checkpoints plus Sessions UI branch/restore actions so operators can inspect and recover pre-compaction session state. (#62146) Thanks @scoootscooob.</li>
-<li>Compaction: add pluggable compaction provider registry so plugins can replace the built-in summarization pipeline. Configure via <code>agents.defaults.compaction.provider</code>; falls back to LLM summarization on provider failure. (#56224) Thanks @DhruvBhatia0.</li>
-<li>Agents/system prompt: add <code>agents.defaults.systemPromptOverride</code> for controlled prompt experiments plus heartbeat prompt-section controls so heartbeat runtime behavior can stay enabled without injecting heartbeat instructions every turn.</li>
-<li>Providers/Google: add Gemma 4 model support and keep Google fallback resolution on the requested provider path so native Google Gemma routes work again. (#61507) Thanks @eyjohn.</li>
-<li>Providers/Google: preserve explicit thinking-off semantics for Gemma 4 while still enabling Gemma reasoning support in compatibility wrappers. (#62127) Thanks @romgenie.</li>
-<li>Providers/Arcee AI: add a bundled Arcee AI provider plugin with Trinity catalog entries, OpenRouter support, and updated onboarding/auth guidance. (#62068) Thanks @arthurbr11.</li>
-<li>Providers/Anthropic: restore Claude CLI as the preferred local Anthropic path in onboarding, model-auth guidance, doctor flows, and Docker Claude CLI live lanes again.</li>
-<li>Providers/Ollama: detect vision capability from the <code>/api/show</code> response and set image input on models that support it so Ollama vision models accept image attachments. (#62193) Thanks @BruceMacD.</li>
-<li>Memory/dreaming: ingest redacted session transcripts into the dreaming corpus with per-day session-corpus notes, cursor checkpointing, and promotion/doctor support. (#62227) Thanks @vignesh07.</li>
-<li>Providers/inferrs: add string-content compatibility for stricter OpenAI-compatible chat backends, document <code>inferrs</code> setup with a full config example, and add troubleshooting guidance for local backends that pass direct probes but fail on full agent-runtime prompts.</li>
-<li>Agents/context engine: expose prompt-cache runtime context to context engines and keep current-turn prompt-cache usage aligned with the active attempt instead of stale prior-turn assistant state. (#62179) Thanks @jalehman.</li>
-<li>Plugin SDK/context engines: pass <code>availableTools</code> and <code>citationsMode</code> into <code>assemble()</code>, and expose memory-artifact and memory-prompt seams so companion plugins and non-legacy context engines can consume active memory state without reaching into internals. Thanks @vincentkoc.</li>
-<li>ACP/ACPX plugin: bump the bundled <code>acpx</code> pin to <code>0.5.1</code> so plugin-local installs and strict version checks pick up the latest published runtime release. (#62148) Thanks @onutc.</li>
-<li>Discord/events: allow <code>event-create</code> to accept a cover image URL or local file path, load and validate PNG/JPG/GIF event cover media, and pass the encoded image payload through Discord admin action/runtime paths. (#60883) Thanks @bittoby.</li>
-</ul>
-<h3>Fixes</h3>
-<ul>
-<li>CLI/infer: keep provider-backed infer behavior aligned with actual runtime execution by fixing explicit TTS override handling, profile-aware gateway TTS prefs resolution, per-request transcription <code>prompt</code>/<code>language</code> overrides, image output MIME/extension mismatches, configured web-search fallback behavior, and agent-vs-CLI web-search execution drift.</li>
-<li>Plugins/media: when <code>plugins.allow</code> is set, capability fallback now merges bundled capability plugin ids into the allowlist (not only <code>plugins.entries</code>), so media understanding providers such as OpenAI-compatible STT load for voice transcription without requiring <code>openai</code> in <code>plugins.allow</code>. (#62205) Thanks @neeravmakwana.</li>
-<li>Agents/history and replies: buffer phaseless OpenAI WS text until a real assistant phase arrives, keep replay and SSE history sequence tracking aligned, hide commentary and leaked tool XML from user-visible history, and keep history-based follow-up replies on <code>final_answer</code> text only. (#61729, #61747, #61829, #61855, #61954) Thanks @100yenadmin and contributors.</li>
-<li>Control UI: show <code>/tts</code> audio replies in webchat, detect mistaken <code>?token=</code> auth links with the correct <code>#token=</code> hint, and keep Copy, Canvas, and mobile exec-approval UI from covering chat content on narrow screens. (#54842, #61514, #61598) Thanks @neeravmakwana.</li>
-<li>iOS/gateway: replace string-matched connection error UI with structured gateway connection problems, preserve actionable pairing/auth failures over later generic disconnect noise, and surface reusable problem banners and details across onboarding, settings, and root status surfaces. (#62650) Thanks @ngutman.</li>
-<li>TUI: route <code>/status</code> through the shared session-status command, keep commentary hidden in history, strip raw envelope metadata from async command notices, preserve fallback streaming before per-attempt failures finalize, and restore Kitty keyboard state on exit or fatal crashes. (#49130, #59985, #60043, #61463) Thanks @biefan and contributors.</li>
-<li>iOS/Watch exec approvals: keep Apple Watch review and approval recovery working while the iPhone is locked or backgrounded, including reconnect recovery, pending approval persistence, notification cleanup, and APNs-backed watch refresh recovery. (#61757) Thanks @ngutman.</li>
-<li>Agents/context overflow: combine oversized and aggregate tool-result recovery in one pass and restore a total-context overflow backstop so recoverable sessions retry instead of failing early. (#61651) Thanks @Takhoffman.</li>
-<li>Auth/OpenAI Codex OAuth: reload fresh on-disk credentials inside the locked refresh path and retry once after <code>refresh_token_reused</code> rotates only the stored refresh token, so relogin/restart recovery stops getting stuck on stale cached auth state. Thanks @owen-ever.</li>
-<li>Auth/OpenAI Codex OAuth: keep native <code>/model ...@profile</code> selections on the target session and honor explicit user-locked auth profiles even when per-agent auth order excludes them. (#62744) Thanks @jalehman.</li>
-<li>Providers/Anthropic: preserve thinking blocks for Claude Opus 4.5+, Sonnet 4.5+, and newer Claude 4-family models so prompt-cache prefixes keep matching, and skip <code>service_tier</code> injection on OAuth-authenticated stream wrapper requests so Claude OAuth streaming stops failing with HTTP 401. (#60356, #61793)</li>
-<li>Agents/Claude CLI: surface nested API error messages from structured CLI output so billing/auth/provider failures show the real provider error instead of an opaque CLI failure.</li>
-<li>Agents/exec: preserve explicit <code>host=node</code> routing under elevated defaults when <code>tools.exec.host=auto</code>, fail loud on invalid elevated cross-host overrides, and keep <code>strictInlineEval</code> commands blocked after approval timeouts instead of falling through to automatic execution. (#61739) Thanks @obviyus.</li>
-<li>Nodes/exec approvals: keep <code>host=node</code> POSIX transport shell wrappers (<code>/bin/sh -lc ...</code>) aligned with inner-command allowlist analysis so allowlisted scripts stop prompting unnecessarily, while Windows <code>cmd.exe</code> wrapper runs stay approval-gated. (#62401) Thanks @ngutman.</li>
-<li>Nodes/exec approvals: keep Windows <code>cmd.exe /c</code> wrapper runs approval-gated even when <code>env</code> carriers, including env-assignment carriers, wrap the shell invocation. (#62439) Thanks @ngutman.</li>
-<li>Gateway tool/exec config: block model-facing <code>gateway config.apply</code> and <code>config.patch</code> writes from changing exec approval paths such as <code>safeBins</code>, <code>safeBinProfiles</code>, <code>safeBinTrustedDirs</code>, and <code>strictInlineEval</code>, while still allowing unchanged structured values through. (#62001) Thanks @eleqtrizit.</li>
-<li>Host exec/env sanitization: block dangerous Java, Rust, Cargo, Git, Kubernetes, cloud credential, config-path, and Helm env overrides so host-run tools cannot be redirected to attacker-chosen code, config, credentials, or repository state. (#59119, #62002, #62291) Thanks @eleqtrizit and contributors.</li>
-<li>Commands/allowlist: require owner authorization for <code>/allowlist add</code> and <code>/allowlist remove</code> before channel resolution, so non-owner but command-authorized senders can no longer persistently rewrite allowlist policy state. (#62383) Thanks @pgondhi987.</li>
-<li>Feishu/docx uploads: honor <code>tools.fs.workspaceOnly</code> for local <code>upload_file</code> and <code>upload_image</code> paths by forwarding workspace-constrained <code>localRoots</code> into the media loader, so docx uploads can no longer read host-local files outside the workspace when workspace-only mode is active. (#62369) Thanks @pgondhi987.</li>
-<li>Network/fetch guard: drop request bodies and body-describing headers on cross-origin <code>307</code> and <code>308</code> redirects by default, so attacker-controlled redirect hops cannot receive secret-bearing POST payloads from SSRF-guarded fetch flows unless a caller explicitly opts in. (#62357) Thanks @pgondhi987.</li>
-<li>Browser/SSRF: treat main-frame <code>document</code> redirect hops as navigations even when Playwright does not flag them as <code>isNavigationRequest()</code>, so strict private-network blocking still stops forbidden redirect pivots before the browser reaches the internal target. (#62355) Thanks @pgondhi987.</li>
-<li>Browser/node invoke: block persistent browser profile create, reset, and delete mutations through <code>browser.proxy</code> on both gateway-forwarded <code>node.invoke</code> and the node-host proxy path, even when no profile allowlist is configured. (#60489)</li>
-<li>Gateway/node pairing: require a fresh pairing request when a previously paired node reconnects with additional declared commands, and keep the live session pinned to the earlier approved command set until the upgrade is approved. (#62658) Thanks @eleqtrizit.</li>
-<li>Gateway/auth: invalidate existing shared-token and password WebSocket sessions when the configured secret rotates, so stale authenticated sockets cannot stay attached after token or password changes. (#62350) Thanks @pgondhi987.</li>
-<li>MS Teams/security: validate file-consent upload URLs against HTTPS, Microsoft/SharePoint host allowlists, and private-IP DNS checks before uploading attachments, blocking SSRF-style consent-upload abuse. (#23596)</li>
-<li>Media/base64 decode guards: enforce byte limits before decoding missed base64-backed Teams, Signal, QQ Bot, and image-tool payloads so oversized inbound media and data URLs no longer bypass pre-decode size checks. (#62007) Thanks @eleqtrizit.</li>
-<li>Runtime event trust: mark background <code>notifyOnExit</code> summaries, ACP parent-stream relays, and wake-hook payloads as untrusted system events so lower-trust runtime output no longer re-enters later turns as trusted <code>System:</code> text. (#62003)</li>
-<li>Auto-reply/media: allow managed generated-media <code>MEDIA:</code> paths from normal reply text again while still blocking arbitrary host-local media and document paths, so generated media keep delivering without reopening host-path injection holes.</li>
-<li>Gateway/status and containers: auto-bind to <code>0.0.0.0</code> inside Docker and Podman environments, and probe local TLS gateways over <code>wss://</code> with self-signed fingerprint forwarding so container startup and loopback TLS status checks work again. (#61818, #61935) Thanks @openperf and contributors.</li>
-<li>Gateway/OpenAI-compatible HTTP: abort in-flight <code>/v1/chat/completions</code> and <code>/v1/responses</code> turns when clients disconnect so abandoned HTTP requests stop wasting agent runtime. (#54388) Thanks @Lellansin.</li>
-<li>macOS/gateway version: strip trailing commit metadata from CLI version output before semver parsing so the Mac app recognizes installed gateway versions like <code>OpenClaw 2026.4.2 (d74a122)</code> again. (#61111) Thanks @oliviareid-svg.</li>
-<li>Sessions/model selection: resolve the explicitly selected session model separately from runtime fallback resolution so session status and live model switching stay aligned with the chosen model.</li>
-<li>Discord/ACP bindings: canonicalize DM conversation identity across inbound messages, component interactions, native commands, and current-conversation binding resolution so <code>--bind here</code> in Discord DMs keeps routing follow-up replies to the bound agent instead of falling back to the default agent.</li>
-<li>Discord: recover forwarded referenced message text and attachments when snapshots are missing, use <code>ws://</code> again for gateway monitor sockets, stop forcing a hardcoded temperature for Codex-backed auto-thread titles, and harden voice receive recovery so rapid speaker restarts keep their next utterance. (#41536, #61670) Thanks @artwalker and contributors.</li>
-<li>Slack/thread mentions: add <code>channels.slack.thread.requireExplicitMention</code> so Slack channels that already require mentions can also require explicit <code>@bot</code> mentions inside bot-participated threads. (#58276) Thanks @praktika-engineer.</li>
-<li>Slack/threading: keep legacy thread stickiness for real replies when older callers omit <code>isThreadReply</code>, while still honoring <code>replyToMode</code> for Slack's auto-created top-level <code>thread_ts</code>. (#61835) Thanks @kaonash.</li>
-<li>Slack/media: keep attachment downloads on the SSRF-guarded dispatcher path so Slack media fetching works on Node 22 without dropping pinned transport enforcement. (#62239) Thanks @openperf.</li>
-<li>Matrix/onboarding: add an invite auto-join setup step with explicit off warnings and strict stable-target validation so new Matrix accounts stop silently ignoring invited rooms and fresh DM-style invites unless operators opt in. (#62168) Thanks @gumadeiras.</li>
-<li>Matrix/formatting: preserve multi-paragraph and loose-list rendering in Element so numbered and bulleted Markdown keeps their content attached to the correct list item. (#60997) Thanks @gucasbrg.</li>
-<li>Telegram/doctor: keep top-level access-control fallback in place during multi-account normalization while still promoting legacy default auth into <code>accounts.default</code>, so existing named bots keep inherited allowlists without dropping the legacy default bot. (#62263) Thanks @obviyus.</li>
-<li>Plugins/loaders: centralize bundled <code>dist/**</code> Jiti native-load policy and keep channel, public-surface, facade, and config-metadata loader seams off native Jiti on Windows so onboarding and configure flows stop tripping <code>ERR_UNSUPPORTED_ESM_URL_SCHEME</code>. (#62286) Thanks @chen-zhang-cs-code.</li>
-<li>Plugins/channels: keep bundled channel artifact and secret-contract loading stable under lazy loading, preserve plugin-schema defaults during install, and fix Windows <code>file://</code> plus native-Jiti plugin loader paths so onboarding, doctor, <code>openclaw secret</code>, and bundled plugin installs work again. (#61832, #61836, #61853, #61856) Thanks @Zeesejo and contributors.</li>
-<li>Plugins/ClawHub: verify downloaded plugin archives against version metadata SHA-256, fail closed when archive integrity metadata is missing or malformed, and tighten fallback ZIP verification so plugin installs cannot proceed on mismatched or incomplete ClawHub package metadata. (#60517) Thanks @mappel-nv.</li>
-<li>Plugins/provider hooks: stop recursive provider snapshot loads from overflowing the stack during plugin initialization, while still preserving cached nested provider-hook results. (#61922, #61938, #61946, #61951)</li>
-<li>Docker/plugins: stop forcing bundled plugin discovery to <code>/app/extensions</code> in runtime images so packaged installs use compiled <code>dist/extensions</code> artifacts again and Node 24 containers do not boot through source-only plugin entry paths. Fixes #62044. (#62316) Thanks @gumadeiras.</li>
-<li>Providers/Ollama: honor the selected provider's <code>baseUrl</code> during streaming so multi-Ollama setups stop routing every stream to the first configured Ollama endpoint. (#61678)</li>
-<li>Providers/Ollama: stop warning that Ollama could not be reached when discovery only sees empty default local stubs, while still keeping real explicit Ollama overrides loud when the endpoint is unreachable.</li>
-<li>Providers/xAI: recognize <code>api.grok.x.ai</code> as an xAI-native endpoint again and keep legacy <code>x_search</code> auth resolution working so older xAI web-search configs continue to load. (#61377) Thanks @jjjojoj.</li>
-<li>Providers/Mistral: send <code>reasoning_effort</code> for <code>mistral/mistral-small-latest</code> (Mistral Small 4) with thinking-level mapping, and mark the catalog entry as reasoning-capable so adjustable reasoning matches Mistral’s Chat Completions API. (#62162) Thanks @neeravmakwana.</li>
-<li>OpenAI TTS/Groq: send <code>wav</code> to Groq-compatible speech endpoints, honor explicit <code>responseFormat</code> overrides on OpenAI-compatible paths, and only mark voice-note output as voice-compatible when the actual format is <code>opus</code>. (#62233) Thanks @neeravmakwana.</li>
-<li>Tools/web_fetch and web_search: fix <code>TypeError: fetch failed</code> caused by undici 8.0 enabling HTTP/2 by default; pinned SSRF-guard dispatchers now explicitly set <code>allowH2: false</code> to restore HTTP/1.1 behavior and keep the custom DNS-pinning lookup compatible. (#61738, #61777) Thanks @zozo123.</li>
-<li>Tools/web search/Exa: show Exa Search in onboarding and configure provider pickers again by marking the bundled Exa provider as setup-visible. Thanks @vincentkoc.</li>
-<li>Memory/vector recall: surface explicit warnings when <code>sqlite-vec</code> is unavailable or vector writes are degraded, and strip managed Light Sleep and REM blocks before daily-note ingestion so memory indexing and dreaming stop reporting false-success or re-ingesting staged output. (#61720) Thanks @MonkeyLeeT.</li>
-<li>Memory/dreaming: make Dreams config reads and writes respect the selected memory slot plugin instead of always targeting <code>memory-core</code>. (#62275) Thanks @SnowSky1.</li>
-<li>QQ Bot/media: route gateway-side attachment and fallback downloads through guarded QQ/Tencent HTTPS fetches so QQ media handling no longer follows arbitrary remote hosts.</li>
-<li>Browser/remote CDP: retry the DevTools websocket once after remote browser restarts so healthy remote browser profiles do not fail availability checks during CDP warm-up. (#57397) Thanks @ThanhNguyxn07.</li>
-<li>UI/light mode: target both root and nested WebKit scrollbar thumbs in the light theme so page-level and container scrollbars stay visible on light backgrounds. (#61753) Thanks @chziyue.</li>
-<li>Agents/subagents: honor <code>sessions_spawn(lightContext: true)</code> for spawned subagent runs by preserving lightweight bootstrap context through the gateway and embedded runner instead of silently falling back to full workspace bootstrap injection. (#62264) Thanks @theSamPadilla.</li>
-<li>Cron: load <code>jobId</code> into <code>id</code> when the on-disk store omits <code>id</code>, matching doctor migration and fixing <code>unknown cron job id</code> for hand-edited <code>jobs.json</code>. (#62246) Thanks @neeravmakwana.</li>
-<li>Agents/model fallback: classify minimal HTTP 404 API errors (for example <code>404 status code (no body)</code>) as <code>model_not_found</code> so assistant failures throw into the fallback chain instead of stopping at the first fallback candidate. (#62119) Thanks @neeravmakwana.</li>
-<li>BlueBubbles/network: respect explicit private-network opt-out for loopback and private <code>serverUrl</code> values across account resolution, status probes, monitor startup, and attachment downloads, while keeping public-host attachment hostname pinning intact. (#59373) Thanks @jpreagan.</li>
-<li>Agents/heartbeat: keep heartbeat runs pinned to the main session so active subagent transcripts are not overwritten by heartbeat status messages. (#61803) Thanks @100yenadmin.</li>
-<li>Agents/heartbeat: respect disabled heartbeat prompt guidance so operators can suppress heartbeat prompt instructions without disabling heartbeat runtime behavior.</li>
-<li>Agents/compaction: stop compaction-wait aborts from re-entering prompt failover and replaying completed tool turns. (#62600) Thanks @i-dentifier.</li>
-<li>Approvals/runtime: move native approval lifecycle assembly into shared core bootstrap/runtime seams driven by channel capabilities and runtime contexts, and remove the legacy bundled approval fallback wiring. (#62135) Thanks @gumadeiras.</li>
-<li>Security/fetch-guard: stop rejecting operator-configured proxy hostnames against the target-scoped hostname allowlist in SSRF-guarded fetches, restoring proxy-based media downloads for Telegram and other channels. (#62312) Thanks @ademczuk.</li>
-<li>Logging: make <code>logging.level</code> and <code>logging.consoleLevel</code> honor the documented severity threshold ordering again, and keep child loggers inheriting the parent <code>minLevel</code>. (#44646) Thanks @zhumengzhu.</li>
-<li>Agents/sessions_send: pass <code>threadId</code> through announce delivery so cross-session notifications land in the correct Telegram forum topic instead of the group's general thread. (#62758) Thanks @jalehman.</li>
-<li>Daemon/systemd: keep sudo systemctl calls scoped to the invoking user when machine-scoped systemctl fails, while still avoiding machine fallback for permission-denied user bus errors. (#62337) Thanks @Aftabbs.</li>
-<li>Docs/i18n: relocalize final localized-page links after translation and remove the zh-CN homepage redirect override so localized Mintlify pages resolve to the correct language roots again. (#61796) Thanks @hxy91819.</li>
-<li>Agents/exec: keep timed-out shell-backgrounded commands on the failed path and point long-running jobs to exec background/yield sessions so process polling is only suggested for registered sessions.</li>

+`openclaw exec-policy` is the local convenience command for keeping the requested
+`tools.exec.*` config and the local host approvals file aligned in one step.
+
+Use it when you want to:
+
+- inspect the local requested policy, host approvals file, and effective merge
+- apply a local preset such as YOLO or deny-all
+- synchronize local `tools.exec.*` and local `~/.openclaw/exec-approvals.json`

+openclaw exec-policy show
+openclaw exec-policy show --json
+
+openclaw exec-policy preset yolo
+openclaw exec-policy preset cautious --json
+
+openclaw exec-policy set --host gateway --security full --ask off --ask-fallback full
+```
+
+Output modes:
+
+- no `--json`: prints the human-readable table view
+- `--json`: prints machine-readable structured output
+
+Current scope:
+
+- `exec-policy` is **local-only**
+- it updates the local config file and the local approvals file together
+- it does **not** push policy to the gateway host or a node host
+- `--host node` is rejected in this command because node exec approvals are fetched from the node at runtime and must be managed through node-targeted approvals commands instead
+- `openclaw exec-policy show` marks `host=node` scopes as node-managed at runtime instead of deriving an effective policy from the local approvals file

+If you need to edit remote host approvals directly, keep using `openclaw approvals set --gateway`
+or `openclaw approvals set --node <id|name|ip>`.

+## Review order
+
+1. PR A
+2. PR B
+3. PR C
+4. PR D
+
+PR D is the proof layer. It should not be the reason runtime-correctness PRs are delayed.
+
+## What to look for
+
+### PR A
+
+- GPT-5 runs act or fail closed instead of stopping at commentary
+- `update_plan` no longer looks like progress by itself
+- behavior stays GPT-5-first and embedded-Pi scoped
+
+### PR B
+
+- auth/proxy/runtime failures stop collapsing into generic “model failed” handling
+- `/elevated full` is only described as available when it is actually available
+- blocked reasons are visible to both the model and the user-facing runtime
+
+### PR C
+
+- strict OpenAI/Codex tool registration behaves predictably
+- parameter-free tools do not fail strict schema checks
+- replay and compaction outcomes preserve truthful liveness state
+
+### PR D
+
+- the scenario pack is understandable and reproducible
+- the pack includes a mutating replay-safety lane, not only read-only flows
+- reports are readable by humans and automation
+- parity claims are evidence-backed, not anecdotal
+
+Expected artifacts from PR D:
+
+- `qa-suite-report.md` / `qa-suite-summary.json` for each model run
+- `qa-agentic-parity-report.md` with aggregate and scenario-level comparison
+- `qa-agentic-parity-summary.json` with a machine-readable verdict
+
+## Release gate
+
+Do not claim GPT-5.4 parity or superiority over Opus 4.6 until:
+
+- PR A, PR B, and PR C are merged
+- PR D runs the first-wave parity pack cleanly
+- runtime-truthfulness regression suites remain green
+- the parity report shows no fake-success cases and no regression in stop behavior

+# GPT-5.4 / Codex Agentic Parity in OpenClaw
+
+OpenClaw already worked well with tool-using frontier models, but GPT-5.4 and Codex-style models were still underperforming in a few practical ways:
+
+- they could stop after planning instead of doing the work
+- they could use strict OpenAI/Codex tool schemas incorrectly
+- they could ask for `/elevated full` even when full access was impossible
+- they could lose long-running task state during replay or compaction
+- parity claims against Claude Opus 4.6 were based on anecdotes instead of repeatable scenarios
+
+This parity program fixes those gaps in four reviewable slices.
+
+## What changed
+
+### PR A: strict-agentic execution
+
+This slice adds an opt-in `strict-agentic` execution contract for embedded Pi GPT-5 runs.
+
+When enabled, OpenClaw stops accepting plan-only turns as “good enough” completion. If the model only says what it intends to do and does not actually use tools or make progress, OpenClaw retries with an act-now steer and then fails closed with an explicit blocked state instead of silently ending the task.
+
+This improves the GPT-5.4 experience most on:
+
+- short “ok do it” follow-ups
+- code tasks where the first step is obvious
+- flows where `update_plan` should be progress tracking rather than filler text
+
+### PR B: runtime truthfulness
+
+This slice makes OpenClaw tell the truth about two things:
+
+- why the provider/runtime call failed
+- whether `/elevated full` is actually available
+
+That means GPT-5.4 gets better runtime signals for missing scope, auth refresh failures, HTML 403 auth failures, proxy issues, DNS or timeout failures, and blocked full-access modes. The model is less likely to hallucinate the wrong remediation or keep asking for a permission mode the runtime cannot provide.
+
+### PR C: execution correctness
+
+This slice improves two kinds of correctness:
+
+- provider-owned OpenAI/Codex tool-schema compatibility
+- replay and long-task liveness surfacing
+
+The tool-compat work reduces schema friction for strict OpenAI/Codex tool registration, especially around parameter-free tools and strict object-root expectations. The replay/liveness work makes long-running tasks more observable, so paused, blocked, and abandoned states are visible instead of disappearing into generic failure text.
+
+### PR D: parity harness
+
+This slice adds the first-wave QA-lab parity pack so GPT-5.4 and Opus 4.6 can be exercised through the same scenarios and compared using shared evidence.
+
+The parity pack is the proof layer. It does not change runtime behavior by itself.
+
+After you have two `qa-suite-summary.json` artifacts, generate the release-gate comparison with:
+
+```bash
+pnpm openclaw qa parity-report \
+  --repo-root . \
+  --candidate-summary .artifacts/qa-e2e/gpt54/qa-suite-summary.json \
+  --baseline-summary .artifacts/qa-e2e/opus46/qa-suite-summary.json \
+  --output-dir .artifacts/qa-e2e/parity
+```
+
+That command writes:
+
+- a human-readable Markdown report
+- a machine-readable JSON verdict
+- an explicit `pass` / `fail` gate result
+
+## Why this improves GPT-5.4 in practice
+
+Before this work, GPT-5.4 on OpenClaw could feel less agentic than Opus in real coding sessions because the runtime tolerated behaviors that are especially harmful for GPT-5-style models:
+
+- commentary-only turns
+- schema friction around tools
+- vague permission feedback
+- silent replay or compaction breakage
+
+The goal is not to make GPT-5.4 imitate Opus. The goal is to give GPT-5.4 a runtime contract that rewards real progress, supplies cleaner tool and permission semantics, and turns failure modes into explicit machine- and human-readable states.
+
+That changes the user experience from:
+
+- “the model had a good plan but stopped”
+
+to:
+
+- “the model either acted, or OpenClaw surfaced the exact reason it could not”
+

+| Replay or compaction failures could feel like the task silently disappeared                    | PR C surfaces paused, blocked, abandoned, and replay-invalid outcomes explicitly         |

+## Scenario pack
+
+The first-wave parity pack currently covers five scenarios:
+
+### `approval-turn-tool-followthrough`
+
+Checks that the model does not stop at “I’ll do that” after a short approval. It should take the first concrete action in the same turn.
+
+### `model-switch-tool-continuity`
+
+Checks that tool-using work remains coherent across model/runtime switching boundaries instead of resetting into commentary or losing execution context.
+
+### `source-docs-discovery-report`
+
+Checks that the model can read source and docs, synthesize findings, and continue the task agentically rather than producing a thin summary and stopping early.
+
+### `image-understanding-attachment`
+
+Checks that mixed-mode tasks involving attachments remain actionable and do not collapse into vague narration.
+
+### `compaction-retry-mutating-tool`
+
+Checks that a task with a real mutating write keeps replay-unsafety explicit instead of quietly looking replay-safe if the run compacts, retries, or loses reply state under pressure.

+
+## Release gate
+
+GPT-5.4 can only be considered at parity or better when the merged runtime passes the parity pack and the runtime-truthfulness regressions at the same time.
+
+Required outcomes:
+
+- no plan-only stall when the next tool action is clear
+- no fake completion without real execution
+- no incorrect `/elevated full` guidance
+- no silent replay or compaction abandonment
+- parity-pack metrics that are at least as strong as the agreed Opus 4.6 baseline
+
+For the first-wave harness, the gate compares:
+
+- completion rate
+- unintended-stop rate
+- valid-tool-call rate
+- fake-success count
+
+Parity evidence is intentionally split across two layers:
+
+- PR D proves same-scenario GPT-5.4 vs Opus 4.6 behavior with QA-lab
+- PR B deterministic suites prove auth, proxy, DNS, and `/elevated full` truthfulness outside the harness

+
+## How to read the parity verdict
+
+Use the verdict in `qa-agentic-parity-summary.json` as the final machine-readable decision for the first-wave parity pack.
+
+- `pass` means GPT-5.4 covered the same scenarios as Opus 4.6 and did not regress on the agreed aggregate metrics.
+- `fail` means at least one hard gate tripped: weaker completion, worse unintended stops, weaker valid tool use, any fake-success case, or mismatched scenario coverage.
+- “shared/base CI issue” is not itself a parity result. If CI noise outside PR D blocks a run, the verdict should wait for a clean merged-runtime execution instead of being inferred from branch-era logs.
+- Auth, proxy, DNS, and `/elevated full` truthfulness still come from PR B’s deterministic suites, so the final release claim needs both: a passing PR D parity verdict and green PR B truthfulness coverage.
+
+## Who should enable `strict-agentic`
+
+Use `strict-agentic` when:
+
+- the agent is expected to act immediately when a next step is obvious
+- GPT-5.4 or Codex-family models are the primary runtime
+- you prefer explicit blocked states over “helpful” recap-only replies
+
+Keep the default contract when:
+
+- you want the existing looser behavior
+- you are not using GPT-5-family models
+- you are testing prompts rather than runtime enforcement

+
+# Codex Harness
+
+The bundled `codex` plugin lets OpenClaw run embedded agent turns through the
+Codex app-server instead of the built-in PI harness.
+
+Use this when you want Codex to own the low-level agent session: model
+discovery, native thread resume, native compaction, and app-server execution.
+OpenClaw still owns chat channels, session files, model selection, tools,
+approvals, media delivery, and the visible transcript mirror.
+
+The harness is off by default. It is selected only when the `codex` plugin is
+enabled and the resolved model is a `codex/*` model, or when you explicitly
+force `embeddedHarness.runtime: "codex"` or `OPENCLAW_AGENT_RUNTIME=codex`.
+If you never configure `codex/*`, existing PI, OpenAI, Anthropic, Gemini, local,
+and custom-provider runs keep their current behavior.
+
+## Pick the right model prefix
+
+OpenClaw has separate routes for OpenAI and Codex-shaped access:
+
+| Model ref              | Runtime path                                 | Use when                                                                |
+| ---------------------- | -------------------------------------------- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------- |
+| `openai/gpt-5.4`       | OpenAI provider through OpenClaw/PI plumbing | You want direct OpenAI Platform API access with `OPENAI_API_KEY`.       |
+| `openai-codex/gpt-5.4` | OpenAI Codex OAuth provider through PI       | You want ChatGPT/Codex OAuth without the Codex app-server harness.      |
+| `codex/gpt-5.4`        | Bundled Codex provider plus Codex harness    | You want native Codex app-server execution for the embedded agent turn. |
+
+The Codex harness only claims `codex/*` model refs. Existing `openai/*`,
+`openai-codex/*`, Anthropic, Gemini, xAI, local, and custom provider refs keep
+their normal paths.
+
+## Requirements
+
+- OpenClaw with the bundled `codex` plugin available.
+- Codex app-server `0.118.0` or newer.
+- Codex auth available to the app-server process.
+
+The plugin blocks older or unversioned app-server handshakes. That keeps
+OpenClaw on the protocol surface it has been tested against.
+
+For live and Docker smoke tests, auth usually comes from `OPENAI_API_KEY`, plus
+optional Codex CLI files such as `~/.codex/auth.json` and
+`~/.codex/config.toml`. Use the same auth material your local Codex app-server
+uses.
+
+## Minimal config
+
+Use `codex/gpt-5.4`, enable the bundled plugin, and force the `codex` harness:
+
+```json5
+{
+  plugins: {
+    entries: {
+      codex: {
+        enabled: true,
+      },
+    },
+  },
+  agents: {
+    defaults: {
+      model: "codex/gpt-5.4",
+      embeddedHarness: {
+        runtime: "codex",
+        fallback: "none",
+      },
+    },
+  },
+}
+```
+
+If your config uses `plugins.allow`, include `codex` there too:
+
+```json5
+{
+  plugins: {
+    allow: ["codex"],
+    entries: {
+      codex: {
+        enabled: true,
+      },
+    },
+  },
+}
+```
+
+Setting `agents.defaults.model` or an agent model to `codex/<model>` also
+auto-enables the bundled `codex` plugin. The explicit plugin entry is still
+useful in shared configs because it makes the deployment intent obvious.
+
+## Add Codex without replacing other models
+
+Keep `runtime: "auto"` when you want Codex for `codex/*` models and PI for
+everything else:
+
+```json5
+{
+  plugins: {
+    entries: {
+      codex: {
+        enabled: true,
+      },
+    },
+  },
+  agents: {
+    defaults: {
+      model: {
+        primary: "codex/gpt-5.4",
+        fallbacks: ["openai/gpt-5.4", "anthropic/claude-opus-4-6"],
+      },
+      models: {
+        "codex/gpt-5.4": { alias: "codex" },
+        "codex/gpt-5.4-mini": { alias: "codex-mini" },
+        "openai/gpt-5.4": { alias: "gpt" },
+        "anthropic/claude-opus-4-6": { alias: "opus" },
+      },
+      embeddedHarness: {
+        runtime: "auto",
+        fallback: "pi",
+      },
+    },
+  },
+}
+```
+
+With this shape:
+
+- `/model codex` or `/model codex/gpt-5.4` uses the Codex app-server harness.
+- `/model gpt` or `/model openai/gpt-5.4` uses the OpenAI provider path.
+- `/model opus` uses the Anthropic provider path.
+- If a non-Codex model is selected, PI remains the compatibility harness.
+
+## Codex-only deployments
+
+Disable PI fallback when you need to prove that every embedded agent turn uses
+the Codex harness:
+
+```json5
+{
+  agents: {
+    defaults: {
+      model: "codex/gpt-5.4",
+      embeddedHarness: {
+        runtime: "codex",
+        fallback: "none",
+      },
+    },
+  },
+}
+```
+
+Environment override:
+
+```bash
+OPENCLAW_AGENT_RUNTIME=codex \
+OPENCLAW_AGENT_HARNESS_FALLBACK=none \
+openclaw gateway run
+```
+
+With fallback disabled, OpenClaw fails early if the Codex plugin is disabled,
+the requested model is not a `codex/*` ref, the app-server is too old, or the
+app-server cannot start.
+
+## Per-agent Codex
+
+You can make one agent Codex-only while the default agent keeps normal
+auto-selection:
+
+```json5
+{
+  agents: {
+    defaults: {
+      embeddedHarness: {
+        runtime: "auto",
+        fallback: "pi",
+      },
+    },
+    list: [
+      {
+        id: "main",
+        default: true,
+        model: "anthropic/claude-opus-4-6",
+      },
+      {
+        id: "codex",
+        name: "Codex",
+        model: "codex/gpt-5.4",
+        embeddedHarness: {
+          runtime: "codex",
+          fallback: "none",
+        },
+      },
+    ],
+  },
+}
+```
+
+Use normal session commands to switch agents and models. `/new` creates a fresh
+OpenClaw session and the Codex harness creates or resumes its sidecar app-server
+thread as needed. `/reset` clears the OpenClaw session binding for that thread.
+
+## Model discovery
+
+By default, the Codex plugin asks the app-server for available models. If
+discovery fails or times out, it uses the bundled fallback catalog:
+
+- `codex/gpt-5.4`
+- `codex/gpt-5.4-mini`
+- `codex/gpt-5.2`
+
+You can tune discovery under `plugins.entries.codex.config.discovery`:
+
+```json5
+{
+  plugins: {
+    entries: {
+      codex: {
+        enabled: true,
+        config: {
+          discovery: {
+            enabled: true,
+            timeoutMs: 2500,
+          },
+        },
+      },
+    },
+  },
+}
+```
+
+Disable discovery when you want startup to avoid probing Codex and stick to the
+fallback catalog:
+
+```json5
+{
+  plugins: {
+    entries: {
+      codex: {
+        enabled: true,
+        config: {
+          discovery: {
+            enabled: false,
+          },
+        },
+      },
+    },
+  },
+}
+```
+
+## App-server connection and policy
+
+By default, the plugin starts Codex locally with:
+
+```bash
+codex app-server --listen stdio://
+```
+
+You can keep that default and only tune Codex native policy:
+
+```json5
+{
+  plugins: {
+    entries: {
+      codex: {
+        enabled: true,
+        config: {
+          appServer: {
+            approvalPolicy: "on-request",
+            sandbox: "workspace-write",
+            serviceTier: "priority",
+          },
+        },
+      },
+    },
+  },
+}
+```
+
+For an already-running app-server, use WebSocket transport:
+
+```json5
+{
+  plugins: {
+    entries: {
+      codex: {
+        enabled: true,
+        config: {
+          appServer: {
+            transport: "websocket",
+            url: "ws://127.0.0.1:39175",
+            authToken: "${CODEX_APP_SERVER_TOKEN}",
+            requestTimeoutMs: 60000,
+          },
+        },
+      },
+    },
+  },
+}
+```

+
+## Common recipes
+
+Local Codex with default stdio transport:
+
+```json5
+{
+  plugins: {
+    entries: {
+      codex: {
+        enabled: true,
+      },
+    },
+  },
+}
+```
+
+Codex-only harness validation, with PI fallback disabled:
+
+```json5
+{
+  embeddedHarness: {
+    fallback: "none",
+  },
+  plugins: {
+    entries: {
+      codex: {
+        enabled: true,
+      },
+    },
+  },
+}
+```
+
+Guardian-reviewed Codex approvals:
+
+```json5
+{
+  plugins: {
+    entries: {
+      codex: {
+        enabled: true,
+        config: {
+          appServer: {
+            approvalPolicy: "on-request",
+            approvalsReviewer: "guardian_subagent",
+            sandbox: "workspace-write",
+          },
+        },
+      },
+    },
+  },
+}
+```
+
+Remote app-server with explicit headers:
+
+```json5
+{
+  plugins: {
+    entries: {
+      codex: {
+        enabled: true,
+        config: {
+          appServer: {
+            transport: "websocket",
+            url: "ws://gateway-host:39175",
+            headers: {
+              "X-OpenClaw-Agent": "main",
+            },
+          },
+        },
+      },
+    },
+  },
+}
+```
+
+Model switching stays OpenClaw-controlled. When an OpenClaw session is attached
+to an existing Codex thread, the next turn sends the currently selected
+`codex/*` model, provider, approval policy, sandbox, and service tier to
+app-server again. Switching from `codex/gpt-5.4` to `codex/gpt-5.2` keeps the
+thread binding but asks Codex to continue with the newly selected model.
+
+## Codex command
+
+The bundled plugin registers `/codex` as an authorized slash command. It is
+generic and works on any channel that supports OpenClaw text commands.
+
+Common forms:
+
+- `/codex status` shows live app-server connectivity, models, account, rate limits, MCP servers, and skills.
+- `/codex models` lists live Codex app-server models.
+- `/codex threads [filter]` lists recent Codex threads.
+- `/codex resume <thread-id>` attaches the current OpenClaw session to an existing Codex thread.
+- `/codex compact` asks Codex app-server to compact the attached thread.
+- `/codex review` starts Codex native review for the attached thread.
+- `/codex account` shows account and rate-limit status.
+- `/codex mcp` lists Codex app-server MCP server status.
+- `/codex skills` lists Codex app-server skills.
+
+`/codex resume` writes the same sidecar binding file that the harness uses for
+normal turns. On the next message, OpenClaw resumes that Codex thread, passes the
+currently selected OpenClaw `codex/*` model into app-server, and keeps extended
+history enabled.
+
+The command surface requires Codex app-server `0.118.0` or newer. Individual
+control methods are reported as `unsupported by this Codex app-server` if a
+future or custom app-server does not expose that JSON-RPC method.
+
+## Tools, media, and compaction
+
+The Codex harness changes the low-level embedded agent executor only.
+
+OpenClaw still builds the tool list and receives dynamic tool results from the
+harness. Text, images, video, music, TTS, approvals, and messaging-tool output
+continue through the normal OpenClaw delivery path.
+
+When the selected model uses the Codex harness, native thread compaction is
+delegated to Codex app-server. OpenClaw keeps a transcript mirror for channel
+history, search, `/new`, `/reset`, and future model or harness switching. The
+mirror includes the user prompt, final assistant text, and lightweight Codex
+reasoning or plan records when the app-server emits them.
+
+Media generation does not require PI. Image, video, music, PDF, TTS, and media
+understanding continue to use the matching provider/model settings such as
+`agents.defaults.imageGenerationModel`, `videoGenerationModel`, `pdfModel`, and
+`messages.tts`.
+
+## Troubleshooting
+
+**Codex does not appear in `/model`:** enable `plugins.entries.codex.enabled`,
+set a `codex/*` model ref, or check whether `plugins.allow` excludes `codex`.
+
+**OpenClaw falls back to PI:** set `embeddedHarness.fallback: "none"` or
+`OPENCLAW_AGENT_HARNESS_FALLBACK=none` while testing.
+
+**The app-server is rejected:** upgrade Codex so the app-server handshake
+reports version `0.118.0` or newer.
+
+**Model discovery is slow:** lower `plugins.entries.codex.config.discovery.timeoutMs`
+or disable discovery.
+
+**WebSocket transport fails immediately:** check `appServer.url`, `authToken`,
+and that the remote app-server speaks the same Codex app-server protocol version.

+
+# Agent Harness Plugins
+
+An **agent harness** is the low level executor for one prepared OpenClaw agent
+turn. It is not a model provider, not a channel, and not a tool registry.
+
+Use this surface only for bundled or trusted native plugins. The contract is
+still experimental because the parameter types intentionally mirror the current
+embedded runner.
+
+## When to use a harness
+
+Register an agent harness when a model family has its own native session
+runtime and the normal OpenClaw provider transport is the wrong abstraction.
+
+Examples:
+
+- a native coding-agent server that owns threads and compaction
+- a local CLI or daemon that must stream native plan/reasoning/tool events
+- a model runtime that needs its own resume id in addition to the OpenClaw
+  session transcript
+
+Do **not** register a harness just to add a new LLM API. For normal HTTP or
+WebSocket model APIs, build a [provider plugin](/plugins/sdk-provider-plugins).
+
+## What core still owns
+
+Before a harness is selected, OpenClaw has already resolved:
+
+- provider and model
+- runtime auth state
+- thinking level and context budget
+- the OpenClaw transcript/session file
+- workspace, sandbox, and tool policy
+- channel reply callbacks and streaming callbacks
+- model fallback and live model switching policy
+
+That split is intentional. A harness runs a prepared attempt; it does not pick
+providers, replace channel delivery, or silently switch models.
+
+## Register a harness
+
+**Import:** `openclaw/plugin-sdk/agent-harness`
+
+```typescript
+import type { AgentHarness } from "openclaw/plugin-sdk/agent-harness";
+import { definePluginEntry } from "openclaw/plugin-sdk/plugin-entry";
+
+const myHarness: AgentHarness = {
+  id: "my-harness",
+  label: "My native agent harness",
+
+  supports(ctx) {
+    return ctx.provider === "my-provider"
+      ? { supported: true, priority: 100 }
+      : { supported: false };
+  },
+
+  async runAttempt(params) {
+    // Start or resume your native thread.
+    // Use params.prompt, params.tools, params.images, params.onPartialReply,
+    // params.onAgentEvent, and the other prepared attempt fields.
+    return await runMyNativeTurn(params);
+  },
+};
+
+export default definePluginEntry({
+  id: "my-native-agent",
+  name: "My Native Agent",
+  description: "Runs selected models through a native agent daemon.",
+  register(api) {
+    api.registerAgentHarness(myHarness);
+  },
+});
+```
+
+## Selection policy
+
+OpenClaw chooses a harness after provider/model resolution:
+
+1. `OPENCLAW_AGENT_RUNTIME=<id>` forces a registered harness with that id.
+2. `OPENCLAW_AGENT_RUNTIME=pi` forces the built-in PI harness.
+3. `OPENCLAW_AGENT_RUNTIME=auto` asks registered harnesses if they support the
+   resolved provider/model.
+4. If no registered harness matches, OpenClaw uses PI unless PI fallback is
+   disabled.
+
+Forced plugin harness failures surface as run failures. In `auto` mode,
+OpenClaw may fall back to PI when the selected plugin harness fails before a
+turn has produced side effects. Set `OPENCLAW_AGENT_HARNESS_FALLBACK=none` or
+`embeddedHarness.fallback: "none"` to make that fallback a hard failure instead.
+
+The bundled Codex plugin registers `codex` as its harness id. Core treats that
+as an ordinary plugin harness id; Codex-specific aliases belong in the plugin
+or operator config, not in the shared runtime selector.
+
+## Provider plus harness pairing
+
+Most harnesses should also register a provider. The provider makes model refs,
+auth status, model metadata, and `/model` selection visible to the rest of
+OpenClaw. The harness then claims that provider in `supports(...)`.
+
+The bundled Codex plugin follows this pattern:
+
+- provider id: `codex`
+- user model refs: `codex/gpt-5.4`, `codex/gpt-5.2`, or another model returned
+  by the Codex app server
+- harness id: `codex`
+- auth: synthetic provider availability, because the Codex harness owns the
+  native Codex login/session
+- app-server request: OpenClaw sends the bare model id to Codex and lets the
+  harness talk to the native app-server protocol
+
+The Codex plugin is additive. Plain `openai/gpt-*` refs remain OpenAI provider
+refs and continue to use the normal OpenClaw provider path. Select `codex/gpt-*`
+when you want Codex-managed auth, Codex model discovery, native threads, and
+Codex app-server execution. `/model` can switch among the Codex models returned
+by the Codex app server without requiring OpenAI provider credentials.
+
+For operator setup, model prefix examples, and Codex-only configs, see
+[Codex Harness](/plugins/codex-harness).
+
+OpenClaw requires Codex app-server `0.118.0` or newer. The Codex plugin checks
+the app-server initialize handshake and blocks older or unversioned servers so
+OpenClaw only runs against the protocol surface it has been tested with.
+
+### Native Codex harness mode
+
+The bundled `codex` harness is the native Codex mode for embedded OpenClaw
+agent turns. Enable the bundled `codex` plugin first, and include `codex` in
+`plugins.allow` if your config uses a restrictive allowlist. It is different
+from `openai-codex/*`:
+
+- `openai-codex/*` uses ChatGPT/Codex OAuth through the normal OpenClaw provider
+  path.
+- `codex/*` uses the bundled Codex provider and routes the turn through Codex
+  app-server.
+
+When this mode runs, Codex owns the native thread id, resume behavior,
+compaction, and app-server execution. OpenClaw still owns the chat channel,
+visible transcript mirror, tool policy, approvals, media delivery, and session
+selection. Use `embeddedHarness.runtime: "codex"` with
+`embeddedHarness.fallback: "none"` when you need to prove that the Codex
+app-server path is used and PI fallback is not hiding a broken native harness.
+
+## Disable PI fallback
+
+By default, OpenClaw runs embedded agents with `agents.defaults.embeddedHarness`
+set to `{ runtime: "auto", fallback: "pi" }`. In `auto` mode, registered plugin
+harnesses can claim a provider/model pair. If none match, or if an auto-selected
+plugin harness fails before producing output, OpenClaw falls back to PI.
+
+Set `fallback: "none"` when you need to prove that a plugin harness is the only
+runtime being exercised. This disables automatic PI fallback; it does not block
+an explicit `runtime: "pi"` or `OPENCLAW_AGENT_RUNTIME=pi`.
+
+For Codex-only embedded runs:
+
+```json
+{
+  "agents": {
+    "defaults": {
+      "model": "codex/gpt-5.4",
+      "embeddedHarness": {
+        "runtime": "codex",
+        "fallback": "none"
+      }
+    }
+  }
+}
+```
+
+If you want any registered plugin harness to claim matching models but never
+want OpenClaw to silently fall back to PI, keep `runtime: "auto"` and disable
+the fallback:
+
+```json
+{
+  "agents": {
+    "defaults": {
+      "embeddedHarness": {
+        "runtime": "auto",
+        "fallback": "none"
+      }
+    }
+  }
+}
+```
+
+Per-agent overrides use the same shape:
+
+```json
+{
+  "agents": {
+    "defaults": {
+      "embeddedHarness": {
+        "runtime": "auto",
+        "fallback": "pi"
+      }
+    },
+    "list": [
+      {
+        "id": "codex-only",
+        "model": "codex/gpt-5.4",
+        "embeddedHarness": {
+          "runtime": "codex",
+          "fallback": "none"
+        }
+      }
+    ]
+  }
+}
+```
+
+`OPENCLAW_AGENT_RUNTIME` still overrides the configured runtime. Use
+`OPENCLAW_AGENT_HARNESS_FALLBACK=none` to disable PI fallback from the
+environment.
+
+```bash
+OPENCLAW_AGENT_RUNTIME=codex \
+OPENCLAW_AGENT_HARNESS_FALLBACK=none \
+openclaw gateway run
+```
+
+With fallback disabled, a session fails early when the requested harness is not
+registered, does not support the resolved provider/model, or fails before
+producing turn side effects. That is intentional for Codex-only deployments and
+for live tests that must prove the Codex app-server path is actually in use.
+
+This setting only controls the embedded agent harness. It does not disable
+image, video, music, TTS, PDF, or other provider-specific model routing.
+
+## Native sessions and transcript mirror
+
+A harness may keep a native session id, thread id, or daemon-side resume token.
+Keep that binding explicitly associated with the OpenClaw session, and keep
+mirroring user-visible assistant/tool output into the OpenClaw transcript.
+
+The OpenClaw transcript remains the compatibility layer for:
+
+- channel-visible session history
+- transcript search and indexing
+- switching back to the built-in PI harness on a later turn
+- generic `/new`, `/reset`, and session deletion behavior
+
+If your harness stores a sidecar binding, implement `reset(...)` so OpenClaw can
+clear it when the owning OpenClaw session is reset.
+
+## Tool and media results
+
+Core constructs the OpenClaw tool list and passes it into the prepared attempt.
+When a harness executes a dynamic tool call, return the tool result back through
+the harness result shape instead of sending channel media yourself.
+
+This keeps text, image, video, music, TTS, approval, and messaging-tool outputs
+on the same delivery path as PI-backed runs.
+
+## Current limitations
+
+- The public import path is generic, but some attempt/result type aliases still
+  carry `Pi` names for compatibility.
+- Third-party harness installation is experimental. Prefer provider plugins
+  until you need a native session runtime.
+- Harness switching is supported across turns. Do not switch harnesses in the
+  middle of a turn after native tools, approvals, assistant text, or message
+  sends have started.

+`adaptive` is a provider-specific sentinel: it is forwarded as-is to
+providers that declare `adaptive` in their capabilities (e.g. BytePlus
+Seedance uses it to auto-detect the ratio from the input image
+dimensions). Providers that do not declare it surface the value via
+`details.ignoredOverrides` in the tool result so the drop is visible.

 Not all providers support all parameters. OpenClaw already normalizes duration to the closest provider-supported value, and it also remaps translated geometry hints such as size-to-aspect-ratio when a fallback provider exposes a different control surface. Truly unsupported overrides are ignored on a best-effort basis and reported as warnings in the tool result. Hard capability limits (such as too many reference inputs) fail before submission.

+#### Fallback and typed options
+
+Some capability checks are applied at the fallback layer rather than the
+tool boundary so that a request that exceeds the primary provider's limits
+can still run on a capable fallback:
+
+- If the active candidate declares no `maxInputAudios` (or declares it as
+  `0`), it is skipped when the request contains audio references, and the
+  next candidate is tried.
+- If the active candidate's `maxDurationSeconds` is below the requested
+  `durationSeconds` and the candidate does not declare a
+  `supportedDurationSeconds` list, it is skipped.
+- If the request contains `providerOptions` and the active candidate
+  explicitly declares a typed `providerOptions` schema, the candidate is
+  skipped when the supplied keys are not in the schema or the value types do
+  not match. Providers that have not yet declared a schema receive the
+  options as-is (backward-compatible pass-through). A provider can
+  explicitly opt out of all provider options by declaring an empty schema
+  (`capabilities.providerOptions: {}`), which causes the same skip as a
+  type mismatch.
+
+The first skip reason in a request is logged at `warn` so operators see
+when their primary provider was passed over; subsequent skips log at
+`debug` to keep long fallback chains quiet. If every candidate is skipped,
+the aggregated error includes the skip reason for each.

T2V models (`*-t2v-*`) do not accept image inputs; I2V models and general `*-pro-*` models support a single reference image (first frame). Pass the image positionally or set `role: "first_frame"`. T2V model IDs are automatically switched to the corresponding I2V variant when an image is provided. Supported `providerOptions` keys: `seed` (number), `draft` (boolean, forces 480p), `camera_fixed` (boolean).                                                                       |

+## Hosted embeds
+
+Assistant messages can render hosted web content inline with the `[embed ...]`
+shortcode. The iframe sandbox policy is controlled by
+`gateway.controlUi.embedSandbox`:
+
+- `strict`: disables script execution inside hosted embeds
+- `scripts`: allows interactive embeds while keeping origin isolation; this is
+  the default and is usually enough for self-contained browser games/widgets
+- `trusted`: adds `allow-same-origin` on top of `allow-scripts` for same-site
+  documents that intentionally need stronger privileges
+
+Example:
+
+```json5
+{
+  gateway: {
+    controlUi: {
+      embedSandbox: "scripts",
+    },
+  },
+}
+```
+
+Use `trusted` only when the embedded document genuinely needs same-origin
+behavior. For most agent-generated games and interactive canvases, `scripts` is
+the safer choice.
+
+Absolute external `http(s)` embed URLs stay blocked by default. If you
+intentionally want `[embed url="https://..."]` to load third-party pages, set
+`gateway.controlUi.allowExternalEmbedUrls: true`.
