 Use Testbox when you need remote CI parity, injected secrets, hosted services,
 or an OS/runtime image that your local machine cannot provide cheaply.
 
+For OpenClaw, Crabbox is a supported alternative when Blacksmith is unavailable
+or owned cloud capacity is preferable.
+
 Do not default to Testbox for every local test/build loop. If the repo has
 documented local commands for normal iteration, use those first so you keep
 warm caches, local build state, and fast feedback.

+---
+
+# Crabbox
+
+Use Crabbox when OpenClaw needs remote Linux proof on owned capacity, a large
+runner class, reusable warm state, or a Blacksmith alternative.
+
+## Before Running
+
+- Run from the repo root. Crabbox sync mirrors the current checkout.
+- Prefer local targeted tests for tight edit loops.
+- Prefer Blacksmith Testbox when the task explicitly asks for Blacksmith or a
+  Blacksmith-specific CI comparison.
+- Use Crabbox for broad OpenClaw gates when owned AWS/Hetzner capacity is the
+  right remote lane.
+- Check `.crabbox.yaml` for repo defaults before adding flags.
+- Install with `brew install openclaw/tap/crabbox`; auth is required before use:
+  `printf '%s' "$CRABBOX_COORDINATOR_TOKEN" | crabbox login --url https://crabbox-coordinator.steipete.workers.dev --provider aws --token-stdin`.
+- On macOS the user config is `~/Library/Application Support/crabbox/config.yaml`;
+  it must include `broker.url`, `broker.token`, and usually `provider: aws`.
+
+## OpenClaw Flow
+
+Warm a reusable box:
+
+```sh
+pnpm crabbox:warmup -- --idle-timeout 90m
+```
+
+Hydrate it through the repository workflow:
+
+```sh
+pnpm crabbox:hydrate -- --id <cbx_id-or-slug>
+```
+
+Run broad proof:
+
+```sh
+pnpm crabbox:run -- --id <cbx_id-or-slug> --shell "OPENCLAW_TESTBOX=1 pnpm check:changed"
+pnpm crabbox:run -- --id <cbx_id-or-slug> --shell "corepack enable && pnpm install --frozen-lockfile && pnpm test"
+```
+
+Stop boxes you created before handoff:
+
+```sh
+pnpm crabbox:stop -- <cbx_id-or-slug>
+```
+
+## Useful Commands
+
+```sh
+crabbox status --id <id-or-slug> --wait
+crabbox inspect --id <id-or-slug> --json
+crabbox sync-plan
+crabbox history --lease <id-or-slug>
+crabbox logs <run_id>
+crabbox results <run_id>
+crabbox cache stats --id <id-or-slug>
+crabbox ssh --id <id-or-slug>
+```
+
+Use `--debug` on `run` when measuring sync timing.
+
+## Hydration Boundary
+
+`.github/workflows/crabbox-hydrate.yml` is repo-specific on purpose. It owns
+OpenClaw checkout, setup-node, pnpm setup, provider env hydration, ready marker,
+and keepalive. Crabbox owns runner registration, workflow dispatch, SSH sync,
+command execution, logs/results, local lease claims, and idle cleanup.
+
+Do not add OpenClaw-specific setup to Crabbox. Put repo setup in the hydration
+workflow and generic lease/sync behavior in Crabbox.
+
+## Cleanup
+
+Crabbox has coordinator-owned idle expiry and local lease claims, so OpenClaw
+does not need a custom ledger. Default idle timeout is 30 minutes unless config
+or flags set a different value. Still stop boxes you created when done.

+
+# OpenClaw Small Bugfix Sweep
+
+Batch workflow for pasted OpenClaw issue/PR refs.
+Execute, do not summarize.
+Triage does not commit, push, create PRs, comment, close, label, land, or merge.
+
+## Companion Skills
+
+Use `$gitcrawl` first, `$openclaw-pr-maintainer` for live GitHub hygiene, `$github-deep-review` posture for source tracing, and `$openclaw-testing` for proof.
+
+## Loop
+
+For each ref:
+
+1. Read live target with `gh`.
+2. Check `gitcrawl` for related, duplicate, closed, or already-fixed threads.
+3. Read body, comments, linked refs, changed files, current code, adjacent tests, and dependency contracts when relevant.
+4. Trace the real runtime path.
+5. For issues: fix locally only if this is a bug, current code proves root cause, the implicated path is clear, and a narrow patch is cleaner than refactor.
+6. For PRs: decide `ready-to-merge`, `needs-fixup`, or `skip`; do not alter PR branches unless explicitly asked.
+7. Add focused regression proof when practical for local issue fixes or PR readiness checks.
+8. Run the smallest meaningful gate.
+9. Continue until every pasted ref is fixed or classified.
+
+No subagents unless explicitly requested.
+
+## Skip If
+
+- not a bug
+- config/docs/workflow/release/support/dependency/product work
+- repro or root cause is uncertain
+- larger refactor or owner-boundary change is cleaner
+- already fixed on current `main`
+- dependency behavior is guessed
+- no focused proof is feasible
+
+Skip with terse reason. Do not pad with low-confidence fixes.
+
+## Fix Rules
+
+- owner module first; generic seam only when required
+- existing patterns/helpers/types
+- no drive-by refactors
+- tests near failing surface
+- docs only for changed public behavior
+- no commit/push/create PR/comment/close/label/land/merge unless explicitly asked
+
+## PR Rules
+
+- `ready-to-merge`: code is good, current head checked, required proof is green or clearly pending only external CI; list for maintainer merge or `@clawsweeper automerge`
+- `needs-fixup`: small bug is clear, but PR branch needs changes; list exact files/tests and wait for explicit fix/push/automerge instruction
+- `skip`: broad, stale, speculative, config/product/security/release, owner-boundary, or refactor-sized
+- if source PR is untrusted/uneditable, do not create a replacement PR during sweep
+
+## Output Shape
+
+Ledger: `fixed-local`, `ready-to-merge`, `needs-fixup`, `skipped`, `needs-human`.
+Final: issue files left on disk, PRs ready for merge/automerge, tests/gates, skip reasons.

 Use this skill for test-memory investigations. Do not guess from RSS alone when heap snapshots are available. Treat snapshot-name deltas as triage evidence, not proof, until retainers or dominators support the call.
 
+For **runtime fixes** (e.g., closure leaks in long-running services like the gateway), see [Validating runtime fixes](#validating-runtime-fixes-not-test-memory) below — that uses a dedicated harness, not the test-parallel snapshot machinery.

@@ -63,6 +65,38 @@ Use this skill for test-memory investigations. Do not guess from RSS alone when
 
 Read the top positive deltas first. Large positive growth in module-transform artifacts suggests lane isolation; large positive growth in runtime objects suggests a real leak. If the names alone do not settle it, open the same snapshot pair in DevTools and inspect retainers/dominators for the top rows before declaring root cause.
 
+## Validating runtime fixes (not test-memory)
+
+The workflow above is for diagnosing Vitest worker memory growth. For
+validating that a runtime/closure fix actually releases captured state, use the
+dedicated harness:
+
+- `pnpm leak:embedded-run` — runs `scripts/embedded-run-abort-leak.ts`. Loops N
+  aborted runs in a function-shaped scope mimicking `runEmbeddedAttempt`,
+  writes heap snapshots, and reports a PASS/FAIL verdict on retention growth
+  using `FinalizationRegistry` for tracked-instance counting plus RSS delta.
+
+Modes:
+
+- `closure-extracted` (default) — production fix shape (helper at module scope).
+- `closure-inline` — pre-fix shape (closure inside the runner scope). Use as a
+  sensitivity check: if it passes you've broken the harness, not fixed a bug.
+- `synthetic-leak` — deliberately retains via a module-level bucket. Use to
+  confirm the harness can detect leaks before trusting a PASS on a real fix.
+
+Snapshots land in `.tmp/embedded-run-abort-leak/`. Diff with the same script
+as above:
+
+```
+node .agents/skills/openclaw-test-heap-leaks/scripts/heapsnapshot-delta.mjs \
+  .tmp/embedded-run-abort-leak/baseline-*.heapsnapshot \
+  .tmp/embedded-run-abort-leak/batch-N-*.heapsnapshot --top 30
+```
+
+When fixing a different runtime leak, add a new harness alongside this one
+rather than retrofitting it. The fixture function should mimic the lexical
+scope of the function where the leak lives, not be a generic abort-loop.

+## 2026.4.30
+
+### Changes
+
+- Dependencies: refresh bundled runtime and plugin dependency pins, including Pi 0.71.1, OpenAI 6.35.0, Codex 0.128.0, Zod 4.4.1, and Matrix 41.4.0. Thanks @mariozechner.
+- Agents/workspace: add `agents.defaults.skipOptionalBootstrapFiles` for skipping selected optional workspace files during bootstrap without disabling required workspace setup. (#62110) Thanks @mainstay22.
+- Plugins/CLI: add first-class `git:` plugin installs with ref checkout, commit metadata, normal scanner/staging, and `plugins update` support for recorded git sources. Thanks @badlogic.
+- Google Meet: add live caption health for Chrome transcribe mode, including caption observer state, transcript counters, last caption text, and recent transcript lines in status and doctor output. Refs #72478. Thanks @DougButdorf.
+- Voice Call/Google Meet: add Twilio Meet join phase logs around pre-connect DTMF, realtime stream setup, and initial greeting handoff for easier live-call debugging. Thanks @donkeykong91 and @PfanP.
+- Agents/Codex: default Codex-harness direct source replies to the OpenClaw `message` tool when visible reply delivery is not explicitly configured, keeping channel-visible output as a deliberate tool call. Thanks @pashpashpash.
+- macOS app: move recent session context rows into a Context submenu while keeping usage and cost details root-level, so the menu bar companion stays compact with many active sessions. Thanks @guti.
+- Gateway/SDK: add SDK-facing tools.invoke RPC with shared HTTP policy, typed approval/refusal results, and SDK helper support. Refs #74705. Thanks @BunsDev and @ai-hpc.
+- Discord: keep active buttons, selects, and forms working across Gateway restarts until they expire, so multi-step Discord interactions are less likely to break during upgrades or restarts. Thanks @amknight.
+- Messages/docs: clarify that `BodyForAgent` is the primary inbound model text while `Body` is the legacy envelope fallback, and add Signal coverage so channel hardening patches target the real prompt path. Refs #66198. Thanks @defonota3box.
+- Slack: publish a safe default App Home tab view on `app_home_opened` and include the Home tab event in setup manifests. Fixes #11655; refs #52020. Thanks @TinyTb.
+- Slack: keep track of bot-participated threads across restarts, so ongoing threaded conversations can continue auto-replying after the Gateway is restarted. Thanks @amknight.
+- Control UI/Usage: add UTC quarter-hour token buckets for the Usage Mosaic and reuse them for hour filtering, keeping the legacy session-span fallback for older summaries. (#74337) Thanks @konanok.
+- BlueBubbles: add opt-in `channels.bluebubbles.replyContextApiFallback` that fetches the original message from the BlueBubbles HTTP API when the in-memory reply-context cache misses (multi-instance deployments sharing one BB account, post-restart, after long-lived TTL/LRU eviction). Off by default; channel-level setting propagates to accounts that omit the flag through `mergeAccountConfig`; routed through the typed `BlueBubblesClient` so every fetch is SSRF-guarded by the same three-mode policy as every other BB client request; reply-id shape is validated and part-index prefixes (`p:0/<guid>`) are stripped before the request; concurrent webhooks for the same `replyToId` coalesce into one fetch and successful responses populate the reply cache for subsequent hits. Also promotes BlueBubbles attachment download failures from verbose to runtime error so silently-dropped inbound images are visible at default log level, and extends `sanitizeForLog` to redact `?password=…`/`?token=…` query params and `Authorization:` headers before they reach the log sink (CWE-532). (#71820) Thanks @coletebou and @zqchris.
+- CLI/proxy: add `openclaw proxy validate` so operators can verify effective proxy configuration, proxy reachability, and expected allow/deny destination behavior before deploying proxy-routed OpenClaw commands. (#73438) Thanks @jesse-merhi.
+- Agents/Codex: default Codex app-server dynamic tools to native-first, keeping OpenClaw integration tools while leaving file, patch, exec, and process ownership to the Codex harness. (#75308) Thanks @pashpashpash.

+### Fixes
+
+- fix: block workspace CLOUDSDK_PYTHON override and always set trusted interpreter for gcloud. (#74492) Thanks @pgondhi987.
+- Providers/Z.AI: move the bundled GLM catalog and auth env metadata into the plugin manifest, so `models list --all --provider zai` shows the full known catalog without duplicated runtime seed data. Thanks @shakkernerd.
+- Providers/Qianfan and Providers/Stepfun: declare setup auth metadata (`api-key` method, `QIANFAN_API_KEY`, `STEPFUN_API_KEY`) in the plugin manifest so onboarding and `models setup` surface the expected env var without falling back to legacy `providerAuthEnvVars` runtime seed data. Thanks @shakkernerd.
+- fix(infra): block ambient Homebrew env vars from brew resolution. (#74463) Thanks @pgondhi987.
+- Onboarding/configure: avoid staging every default plugin runtime dependency after config writes, so skipped setup flows only prepare config-selected plugin deps instead of pulling broad feature-plugin packages. Thanks @vincentkoc.
+- Thinking/providers: resolve bundled provider thinking profiles through lightweight provider policy artifacts when startup-lazy providers are not active, so OpenAI Codex GPT-5.x keeps xhigh available in Gateway session validation. Fixes #74796. Thanks @maxschachere.
+- Security/Windows: ignore workspace `.env` system-path variables and resolve stale-process `taskkill.exe` from the validated Windows install root, preventing repository-local env files from redirecting cleanup helpers. Thanks @pgondhi987.
+- CLI/plugins: refresh persisted plugin registry policy in place for `plugins enable` and `plugins disable`, so routine toggles no longer rebuild and hash every plugin source when the target is already indexed. Thanks @vincentkoc.
+- CLI/plugins: scope install and enable slot selection to the selected plugin manifest/runtime fallback, so plugin installs no longer load every plugin runtime or broad status snapshot just to update memory/context slots. Thanks @vincentkoc.
+- Plugins/TTS: keep bundled speech-provider discovery available on cold package Gateway paths and add bundled plugin matrix runtime probes for health, readiness, RPC, TTS discovery, and post-ready runtime-deps watchdog coverage. Refs #75283. Thanks @vincentkoc.
+- Google Meet/Twilio: show delegated voice call ID, DTMF, and intro-greeting state in `googlemeet doctor`, and avoid claiming DTMF was sent when no Meet PIN sequence was configured. Refs #72478. Thanks @DougButdorf.
+- Plugins/tools: prefer built bundled plugin code during tool discovery and skip channel runtime hydration while preserving companion provider registrations, reducing per-run plugin-tool prep cost without dropping executable plugin tools. Fixes #75290. Thanks @thanos-openclaw.
+- Voice Call/Twilio: send notify-mode initial TwiML directly in the outbound create-call request while keeping conversation and pre-connect DTMF calls webhook-driven, so one-shot notify calls do not depend on a first-answer webhook fetch. Supersedes #72758. Thanks @tyshepps.
+- Discord/Slack: defer status-reaction cleanup until run finalization so queued, thinking, tool, and terminal reactions no longer flicker during normal progress updates. (#75582)
+- Discord/voice: leave Discord voice off for text-only configs unless `channels.discord.voice` is explicitly configured, avoiding default `GuildVoiceStates` traffic and idle gateway CPU pressure for bots that do not use `/vc`. Fixes #73753; refs #74044. Thanks @sanchezm86 and @SecureCloudProjO.
+- Discord/voice: rerun configured voice auto-join after Discord gateway RESUMED events and ignore already-destroyed stale voice connections during reconnect cleanup, so health-monitor account restarts can rejoin configured channels. Fixes #40665. Thanks @liz709.
+- Plugins/CLI: reuse the cold manifest registry while building plugin status and inspect reports, so large configured plugin sets no longer rediscover the bundled/plugin registry once per inspect row. Thanks @vincentkoc.
+- Discord/voice: lengthen the default voice join Ready wait, add configurable `voice.connectTimeoutMs`/`voice.reconnectGraceMs`, and warn before destroying unrecovered disconnected sessions so slow Discord voice handshakes and reconnects no longer fail silently. Fixes #63098; refs #39825 and #65039. Thanks @darealgege, @kzicherman, and @ayochim.
+- Gateway/health: refresh cached health RPC snapshots when channel runtime state diverges, so Discord and other channel status reads no longer report stale running or connected values until the cache TTL expires. (#75423) Thanks @clawsweeper.
+- Gateway/sessions: keep session-store reads from running stale prune and entry-count cap maintenance during startup, so oversized stores no longer block chat history readiness after updates while writes and `sessions cleanup --enforce` still preserve the cleanup safeguards. Fixes #70050. Thanks @tangda18.
+- Security/audit: keep plain `security audit` on the cold config/filesystem path and reserve plugin runtime security collectors for `--deep`, so large plugin installs cannot execute every plugin runtime during routine audits. Thanks @vincentkoc.
+- Discord/voice: merge configured media-understanding providers such as Deepgram into partial active provider registries, so follow-up voice turns keep transcribing after another media plugin is already active. Fixes #65687. Thanks @OneMintJulep.
+- WhatsApp: stage `qrcode` through root mirrored runtime dependencies so packaged QR pairing can render from staged plugin-runtime-deps installs. Fixes #75394. Thanks @FelipeX2001.
+- Discord/voice: apply per-channel Discord `systemPrompt` overrides to voice transcript turns by forwarding the trusted channel prompt through the voice agent run. Fixes #47095. Thanks @qearlyao.
+- Discord/native commands: send component-only interaction replies from slash command and status handlers instead of treating renderable Discord components as an empty response. Thanks @vincentkoc.
+- Slack/slash commands: send block-only slash command replies instead of dropping Slack block payloads with no plain-text fallback. Thanks @vincentkoc.
+- Telegram/messages: derive fallback text from interactive button/select labels before sending button-only payloads, so Telegram replies are not rejected as empty messages. Thanks @vincentkoc.
+- LINE/messages: send quick-reply-only payloads with fallback option text instead of accepting the payload and returning an empty delivery. Thanks @vincentkoc.
+- Auto-reply/docking: require `/dock-*` route switches to start from direct chats, so group or channel participants cannot reroute a shared session's future replies into a linked DM. Thanks @vincentkoc.
+- Discord: keep text-DM main-session route updates pinned to the configured DM owner, matching component interactions so another direct-message sender cannot redirect future main-session replies. Thanks @vincentkoc.
+- Mattermost/Matrix: keep direct-message main-session route updates pinned to the configured DM owner so paired or temporarily allowed senders cannot redirect future shared-session replies. Thanks @vincentkoc.
+- Discord: keep SecretRef-backed bot tokens discoverable for message actions without resolving the token during schema generation, and resolve scoped channel SecretRefs before outbound agent message sends even when the tool is built from a config snapshot. Fixes #75324. Thanks @slideshow-dingo and @Conan-Scott.
+- Updates: run package post-install doctor repair with the managed Gateway service profile and state paths when a daemon is installed, so shell/profile mismatches no longer repair the caller state while the restarted Gateway keeps stale config. Thanks @vincentkoc.
+- Models/DeepInfra: declare DeepInfra manifest catalog discovery and derive its runtime fallback catalog from the manifest, restoring provider-filtered `models list --all --provider deepinfra` rows without duplicated static model data. Thanks @shakkernerd.
+- CLI/update: verify managed gateway restarts against the installed service port instead of the caller shell port, so package updates do not report a healthy daemon as failed when profiles use different gateway ports. Thanks @vincentkoc.
+- Gateway/agent: reject strict `openclaw agent --deliver` requests with missing delivery targets before starting the agent run, so users do not wait for a completed turn that cannot send anywhere. Thanks @vincentkoc.
+- Setup/import: honor non-interactive `--import-from` onboarding flags by running the migration import path instead of silently completing normal setup without importing anything. Thanks @vincentkoc.
+- Discord/voice: run voice-channel turns under a voice-output policy that hides the agent `tts` tool and asks for spoken reply text, so `/vc join` sessions synthesize and play agent replies instead of ending with `NO_REPLY`. Fixes #61536. Thanks @aounakram.
+- Doctor/plugins: keep plain `doctor --non-interactive` from installing bundled plugin runtime dependencies, so headless health checks report missing deps while `doctor --fix` remains the explicit repair path. Thanks @vincentkoc.
+- Doctor/gateway: require an interactive confirmation before installing or rewriting the Gateway service, so `doctor --fix --non-interactive` can repair plugin/config drift without replacing the operator's launchd/systemd service from a temporary environment. Thanks @vincentkoc.
+- Plugins/runtime-deps: include packaged OpenClaw identity in bundled plugin loader cache keys, so same-path package upgrades stop reusing stale versioned runtime-deps mirrors. Fixes #75045. Thanks @sahilsatralkar.
+- Plugin SDK: restore reply-prefix and reply-pipeline helpers on the deprecated root/compat SDK surface so external plugins still using `openclaw/plugin-sdk` do not fail message dispatch after update. Fixes #75171. Thanks @zhangxiliang.
+- Plugins/runtime-deps: prune inactive same-package versioned runtime-deps roots after bundled dependency repair, so upgrades do not leave old `openclaw-<version>-<hash>` package caches behind after doctor runs. Thanks @vincentkoc.
+- Plugins/runtime-deps: prune legacy version-scoped plugin runtime-deps roots during bundled dependency repair and cover the path in Package Acceptance's upgrade-survivor matrix, so upgrades from 2026.4.x no longer leave stale per-plugin runtime trees after doctor runs. Thanks @vincentkoc.
+- Plugins/runtime-deps: keep Gateway startup plugin imports and runtime plugin fallback loads verify-only after startup/config repair planning, so packaged installs no longer spawn package-manager repair from hot paths after readiness. Refs #75283 and #75069. Thanks @brokemac79 and @xiaohuaxi.
+- Plugins/runtime-deps: treat package.json runtime-deps manifests as supersets when generated materialization metadata is absent, so bundled plugin activation stops restaging already-installed dependency subsets on every activation. Fixes #75429. (#75431) Thanks @loyur.
+- iMessage: add stdin write callback and error listener to IMessageRpcClient so async EPIPE from a closed child process rejects the pending request instead of crashing the gateway with uncaughtException. Fixes #75438.
+- MCP/stdio: settle MCP stdio transport send() from the write callback instead of resolving immediately on buffer acceptance, so async write errors reject the promise instead of being lost. Refs #75438.
+- Process/exec: add stdin error listener in runCommandWithTimeout so EPIPE from a prematurely-exited child is swallowed instead of escaping to uncaughtException. Refs #75438.
+- Voice Call/realtime: add default-off fast memory/session context for `openclaw_agent_consult`, giving live calls a bounded answer-or-miss path before the full agent consult. Fixes #71849. Thanks @amzzzzzzz.
+
+- Google Meet: interrupt Realtime provider output when local barge-in clears playback, so command-pair audio stops model speech instead of only restarting Chrome playback. Fixes #73850. (#73834) Thanks @shhtheonlyperson.
+- Gateway/config: cap oversized plugin-owned schemas in the full `config.schema` response so large installed plugin sets cannot balloon Gateway RSS or crash schema clients. Thanks @vincentkoc.
+- Plugins/update: skip ClawHub and marketplace plugin updates when the bundled version is newer than the recorded installed version, so `openclaw update` no longer overwrites working bundled plugins with older external packages. Fixes #75447. Thanks @amknight.
+- Gateway/sessions: use bounded tail reads for sessions-list transcript usage fallbacks and cap bulk title/last-message hydration, keeping large session stores responsive when rows request derived previews. Thanks @vincentkoc.
+- Gateway/sessions: yield during bulk transcript title/preview hydration and copy compaction checkpoints asynchronously, keeping the Gateway event loop responsive for large session stores and large transcripts. Refs #75330 and #75414. Thanks @amknight.
+- Gateway/sessions: stream bounded transcript reads for session detail, history, artifacts, compaction, and send/subscribe sequence paths so small Gateway requests no longer materialize large transcripts or OOM on oversized session logs. Thanks @vincentkoc.
+- Gateway/chat: bound chat-history transcript reads to the requested display window so large session logs no longer OOM the Gateway when clients ask for a small history page. Thanks @vincentkoc.
+- Voice Call/Twilio: honor stored pre-connect TwiML before realtime webhook shortcuts and reject DTMF sequences outside conversation mode, so Meet PIN entry cannot be skipped or silently dropped. Thanks @donkeykong91 and @PfanP.
+- Docs/sandboxing: clarify that sandbox setup scripts (`sandbox-setup.sh`, `sandbox-common-setup.sh`, `sandbox-browser-setup.sh`) are only available from a source checkout, and add inline `docker build` commands for npm-installed users so sandbox image setup works without cloning the repo. Fixes #75485. Thanks @amknight.
+- Google Meet/Voice Call: play Twilio Meet DTMF before opening the realtime media stream and carry the intro as the initial Voice Call message, so the greeting is generated after Meet admits the phone participant instead of racing a live-call TwiML update. Thanks @donkeykong91 and @PfanP.
+- Google Meet/Voice Call: make Twilio setup preflight honor explicit `--transport twilio` and fail local/private Voice Call webhook URLs, including IPv6 loopback and unique-local forms, before joins. Thanks @donkeykong91 and @PfanP.
+- Voice Call/Twilio: retry transient 21220 live-call TwiML updates and catch answered-path initial-greeting failures, so a fast answered callback no longer crashes the Gateway or drops the Twilio greeting/listen transition. (#74606) Thanks @Sivan22.
+- CLI/startup: preserve `OPENCLAW_HIDE_BANNER` banner suppression for route-first startup callers that rely on the default process environment while keeping read-only status/channel paths from repairing bundled plugin runtime dependencies. Refs #75183.
+- Voice Call/Twilio: register accepted media streams immediately but wait for realtime transcription readiness before speaking the initial greeting, so reconnect grace handling stays live while OpenAI STT startup is no longer starved by TTS. Fixes #75197. (#75257) Thanks @donkeykong91 and @PfanP.
+- Voice Call CLI: run gateway-delegated `voicecall continue` through operation-id polling and protocol-shaped errors, so long conversational turns keep their transcript result without blocking a single Gateway RPC. (#75459) Thanks @serrurco and @DougButdorf.
+- Voice Call CLI: delegate operational `voicecall` commands to the running Gateway runtime and skip webhook startup during CLI-only plugin loading, preventing webhook port conflicts and `setup --json` hangs. Fixes #72345. Thanks @serrurco and @DougButdorf.
+- Agents/pi-embedded-runner: extract the `abortable` provider-call wrapper from `runEmbeddedAttempt` to module scope so its promise handlers no longer close over the run lexical context, releasing transcripts, tool buffers, and subscription callbacks when a provider call hangs past abort. (#74182) Thanks @cjboy007.
+- Docker: restore `python3` in the gateway runtime image after the slim-runtime switch. Fixes #75041.
+- Agents/session-repair: fix resumed sessions failing with repeated 400 errors on Anthropic and strict OpenAI-compatible providers (Qwen, mlx-vlm) after an interrupted conversation or blank user input. Fixes #75271 and #75313. Thanks @amknight.
+- CLI/Voice Call: scope `voicecall` command activation to the Voice Call plugin so setup and smoke checks no longer broad-load unrelated plugin runtimes or hang after printing JSON. Thanks @vincentkoc.
+- Doctor/plugins: warn when restrictive `plugins.allow` is paired with wildcard or plugin-owned tool allowlists, making the exclusive plugin allowlist behavior visible before users hit empty callable-tool runs. Refs #58009 and #64982. Thanks @KR-Python and @BKF-Gitty.
+- Google Meet/Voice Call: keep Twilio Meet joins in conversation mode and reuse the realtime intro prompt when no voice-call-specific intro is configured, so answered phone bridge calls speak instead of joining silently. Refs #72478. Thanks @DougButdorf.
+- Auto-reply/group chats: keep the `message` tool available for message-tool-only visible replies and apply group-scoped tool policy before deciding fallback delivery, so Discord/Slack-style rooms reply visibly in the correct channel after upgrades. Fixes #74842; refs #75207. Thanks @davelutztx and @aa-on-ai.
+- Agents/commitments: keep inferred follow-ups internal when heartbeat target is none, strip raw source text from stored commitments, disable tools during due-commitment heartbeat turns, bound hidden extraction queue growth, expire stale commitments, and add QA/Docker safety coverage. Thanks @vignesh07.
+- Telegram/agents: keep typing indicators and optional generation tools off the reply critical path, so fresh Telegram replies no longer stall while provider catalogs and media models load. (#75360) Thanks @obviyus.
+- Agents/commitments: run hidden follow-up extraction on the configured agent/default model instead of falling back to direct OpenAI, so OpenAI Codex OAuth-only gateways no longer spam background API-key failures. Fixes #75334. Thanks @sene1337.
+- Agents/media: keep async music generation completions on the requester-session wake path even when direct-send completion is enabled, so finished audio stays agent-mediated while video can still opt into direct channel delivery. (#75335) Thanks @vincentkoc.
+- Security/config-audit: redact CLI argv and execArgv secrets before persisting config audit records, covering write, observe, and recovery paths. Fixes #60826. Thanks @koshaji.
+- Gateway/models: keep default and configured model-list views responsive when provider catalog discovery stalls, without hiding real catalog load failures, while `--all` still waits for the exact full catalog. Fixes #75297; refs #74404. Thanks @lisandromachado and @najef1979-code.
+- Plugins/runtime-deps: accept already materialized package-level runtime-deps supersets as converged, so later lazy plugin activation no longer prunes and relaunches `pnpm install` after gateway startup pre-staging, reducing event-loop pressure from repeated runtime-deps repair on packaged installs. Fixes #75283; refs #75297 and #72338. Thanks @brokemac79, @lisandromachado, and @midhunmonachan.
+- Plugins/runtime-deps: remove OpenClaw-owned legacy runtime-deps symlinks before replacing staged bundled plugin dependencies, so updates can recover from older symlinked installs instead of failing the symlink safety guard. Thanks @goldmar.
+- Discord: retry queued REST 429s against learned bucket/global cooldowns and reacquire fresh voice upload URLs after CDN upload rate limits, so outbound sends recover without reusing stale single-use upload URLs. Thanks @discord.
+- TTS/providers: keep bundled speech-provider compat fallback available when plugins are globally disabled, so cold gateway and CLI startup can still resolve fallback speech providers instead of leaving explicit TTS provider selection with no registered providers. Refs #75265. Thanks @sliekens.
+- Discord: collapse repeated native slash-command deploy rate-limit startup logs into one non-fatal warning while keeping per-request REST timing in verbose output. Thanks @discord.
+- Discord: report native slash-command deploy aborts as REST timeouts with method, path, timeout budget, and observed duration, so startup logs explain slow Discord API calls instead of showing a generic aborted operation. Thanks @discord.
+- Security/logging: redact payment credential field names such as card number, CVC/CVV, shared payment token, and payment credential across default log and tool-payload redaction patterns so wallet-style MCP tools do not expose raw payment credentials in UI events or transcripts. Thanks @stainlu.
+- Providers/OpenAI Codex: preserve existing wrapped Codex streams during OpenAI attribution so PI OAuth bearer injection reaches ChatGPT/Codex Responses, and strip native Codex-only unsupported payload fields without touching custom compatible endpoints. (#75111) Thanks @keshavbotagent.
+- Plugins/runtime-deps: materialize newly required bundled plugin packages after local `openclaw onboard` and `openclaw configure` config writes, while keeping remote setup read-only, so first Gateway startup no longer discovers missing channel/provider deps after setup claimed success. Fixes #75309; refs #75069. Thanks @scottgl9 and @xiaohuaxi.
+- Plugins/runtime-deps: expire stale legacy install locks whose live PID cannot be tied to the current process incarnation, so Docker PID reuse no longer leaves bundled dependency repair stuck behind old `.openclaw-runtime-deps.lock` directories. Fixes #74948; refs #74950 and #74346. Thanks @dchekmarev.
+- Plugins/runtime-deps: recover interrupted bundled runtime-dependency installs whose package sentinels exist but generated materialization is incomplete, forcing npm/pnpm repair in Gateway startup, doctor, and lazy plugin loads instead of leaving channels crash-looping on missing packages. Fixes #75309; refs #75310, #75296, and #75304. Thanks @scottgl9.
+- Plugins/runtime-deps: treat no-main and export-map package sentinels without reachable entry files as incomplete, so Gateway startup, doctor, and lazy plugin loads repair interrupted bundled dependency installs instead of accepting package.json-only partial installs. Fixes #75309; refs #75183. Thanks @shakkernerd.
+- Plugins/runtime-deps: keep runtime inspection and channel maintenance commands from downloading bundled plugin dependencies, route explicit repairs through `openclaw plugins deps --repair`, and still allow Gateway/DO paths to repair missing deps before import. Refs #75069. Thanks @xiaohuaxi.
+- Updates: force non-deferred, no-cooldown update restarts after package-manager updates requested through the live Gateway control plane and fail release validation on post-swap stale chunk import crashes, so Telegram/Discord imports do not stay pointed at removed dist files. Fixes #75206. Thanks @xonaman and @faux123.
+- Agents/tool-result guard: use the resolved runtime context token budget for non-context-engine tool-result overflow checks, so long tool-heavy sessions no longer compact early when `contextTokens` is larger than native `contextWindow`. Fixes #74917. Thanks @kAIborg24.
+- Gateway/systemd: exit with sysexits 78 for supervised lock and `EADDRINUSE` conflicts so `RestartPreventExitStatus=78` stops `Restart=always` restart loops instead of repeatedly reloading plugins against an occupied port. Fixes #75115. Thanks @yhyatt.
+- Agents/runtime: skip blank visible user prompts at the embedded-runner boundary before provider submission while still allowing internal runtime-only turns and media-only prompts, so Telegram/group sessions no longer leak raw empty-input provider errors when replay history exists. Fixes #74137. Thanks @yelog, @Gracker, and @nhaener.
+- Agents/Codex: isolate local Codex app-server `CODEX_HOME` and `HOME` per agent and add a deliberate Codex migration path with selectable skill copies, so personal Codex CLI skills, plugins, config, and hooks no longer leak into OpenClaw agents unless the operator migrates them into the workspace. Thanks @pashpashpash.
+- Security/Nextcloud Talk: make webhook signature validation use the padded timing-safe compare path even when the supplied signature length is wrong, keep normalized header lookup behavior, and extend regression coverage for tampered bodies, wrong secrets, array-backed headers, and truncated signatures. Carries forward earlier contributor work from #50516 by teddytennant. (#58097) Thanks @gavyngong.
+- Plugins/runtime-deps: replace stale symlinked mirror target roots before writing runtime-mirror temp files and skip rewriting already materialized hardlinks, so cross-version container upgrades no longer crash-loop on read-only image-layer paths while warm mirrors do less churn. Fixes #75108; refs #75069. Thanks @coletebou and @xiaohuaxi.
+- Auto-reply/group chats: fall back to automatic source delivery when a channel precomputes message-tool-only replies but the `message` tool is unavailable, so Discord/Slack-style group turns do not silently complete without a visible reply. Fixes #74868. Thanks @kagura-agent.
+- Browser/gateway: share one browser control runtime across the HTTP control server and `browser.request`, and refresh browser profile config from the source snapshot, so CLI status/start honors configured `browser.executablePath`, `headless`, and `noSandbox` instead of falling back to stale auto-detection. Fixes #75087; repairs #73617. Thanks @civiltox and @martingarramon.
+- Agents/subagents: bound automatic orphan recovery with persisted recovery attempts and a wedged-session tombstone, and teach task maintenance/doctor to reconcile those sessions so restart loops no longer require manual `sessions.json` surgery. Fixes #74864. Thanks @solosage1.
+- Plugins/runtime-deps: keep bundled provider policy config loading from staging plugin runtime dependencies, so config reads no longer fail on locked-down `/var/lib/openclaw/plugin-runtime-deps` directories. Fixes #74971. Thanks @eurojojo.
+- Memory/runtime-deps: retain the native `node-llama-cpp` runtime only when local memory search is configured, so packaged installs can repair local embeddings without relying on unreachable global npm installs. Fixes #74777. Thanks @LLagoon3.
+- Gateway/startup: skip pre-bind web-fetch provider discovery for credential-free `tools.web.fetch` config, so Docker/Kubernetes gateways bind even when optional fetch limits are present. Fixes #74896. Thanks @KoykL.
+- Signal: match group allowlists against inbound Signal group ids as well as sender ids, and process explicitly configured Signal groups without requiring mentions unless `requireMention` is set. Fixes #53308. Thanks @minupla and @juan-flores077.
+- Signal: bound `signal-cli` installer release and archive downloads with explicit timeouts, declared and streamed size checks, and partial-file cleanup. Fixes #54153. Thanks @jinduwang1001-max and @juan-flores077.
+- Slack: require bot-authored room messages with `allowBots=true` to come from an explicitly channel-allowlisted bot or from a room where an explicit Slack owner is present, so broad bot relays cannot run unattended. Fixes #59284. Thanks @andrewhong-translucent.
+- Signal: derive `getAttachment` HTTP response caps from `channels.signal.mediaMaxMb` with base64 headroom, so inbound photos and videos no longer drop behind the 1 MiB RPC default. Fixes #73564. Thanks @heyhudson.
+- Signal: keep the long-lived receive SSE monitor open while idle instead of applying the 10s RPC/check deadline, so `signal-cli` 0.14.3 event streams no longer reconnect before inbound messages arrive. Fixes #74741. Thanks @fgabelmannjr and @k7n4n5t3w4rt.
+- CLI/progress: suppress nested progress spinners and line clears while TUI input owns raw stdin, so Crestodian `/status` no longer disturbs the active input row. (#75003) Thanks @velvet-shark.
+- Models/OpenAI Codex: restore `openai-codex/gpt-5.4-mini` for ChatGPT/Codex OAuth PI runs after live OAuth proof, and align the manifest, forward-compat metadata, docs, and regression tests so stale cron and heartbeat configs resolve again. Fixes #74451. Thanks @0xCyda, @hclsys, and @Marvae.
+- Plugins/runtime-deps: always write a dependency map in generated runtime-deps install manifests, so npm does not crash or prune staged bundled-plugin packages when the plan is empty. Fixes #74949. Thanks @hclsys.
+- Telegram: use durable message edits for streaming previews instead of native draft state, so generated replies no longer flicker through draft-to-message transitions that look like duplicates. (#75073) Thanks @obviyus.
+- Telegram: echo preflighted DM voice-note transcripts back to the originating chat, including Telegram DM topic thread metadata, instead of only echoing later media-understanding transcripts. Fixes #75084. Thanks @M-Lietz.
+- Telegram: clamp low long-polling client timeouts so configured `timeoutSeconds` values below the `getUpdates` poll window no longer force a fresh HTTPS connection every few seconds. Fixes #75114. Thanks @hpinho77.
+- Web search: describe `web_search` as using the configured provider instead of hard-coding Brave when DuckDuckGo or another provider is active. Fixes #75088. Thanks @sun-rongyang.
+- Infra/tmp: tolerate concurrent temp-dir permission repairs by rechecking directories that another process already tightened, so parallel ACP subprocess startup no longer throws `Unsafe fallback OpenClaw temp dir`. Fixes #66867. Thanks @Kane808-AI and @jarvisz8.
+- Agents/compaction: add an opt-in `agents.defaults.compaction.midTurnPrecheck` mid-turn precheck that detects tool-loop context pressure and triggers compaction before the next tool call instead of waiting for end-of-turn. (#73499) Thanks @marchpure and @haoxingjun.
+- Gateway/approvals: let loopback token/password-backed native approval clients resolve exec approvals without attaching stale paired Gateway identities, while remote and unauthenticated approval clients keep normal device identity behavior. (#74472)
+- Gateway/config: include rejected validation paths in foreground and service last-known-good recovery logs plus main-agent notices, so unsupported direct edits explain which key caused restore instead of looking like silent reversion. Fixes #75060. Thanks @amknight.
+- Plugins/runtime-deps: hash the OS-canonical `packageRoot` via `fs.realpathSync.native` (with `path.resolve` fallback) when computing the bundled runtime-deps stage key, so loader and channel `bundled-root` callers no longer derive divergent stage directories under `~/.openclaw/plugin-runtime-deps/openclaw-<version>-<hash>/` and bundled channels stop failing with `ENOENT` on shared dist chunks under Windows npm symlinks, junctions, or PM2 multi-instance worker layouts. Fixes #74963. (#75048) Thanks @openperf and @vincentkoc.
+- fix(logging): add redaction patterns for Tencent Cloud, Alibaba Cloud, HuggingFace and Replicate API keys (#58162). Thanks @gavyngong
+- Pairing: surface unexpected allowlist filesystem stat errors instead of treating the allowlist as missing, so permission and I/O failures are visible during pairing authorization checks. (#63324) Thanks @franciscomaestre.
+- macOS app: reserve layout space for exec approval command details so the allow dialog no longer overlaps the command, context, and action buttons. (#75470) Thanks @ngutman.
+- Agents/failover: carry `sessionId`, `lane`, `provider`, `model`, and `profileId` attribution through `FailoverError` and `describeFailoverError`/`coerceToFailoverError` so structured error logs (e.g. `gateway.err.log` ingestion) can attribute exhausted-fallback wrapper errors to the originating session and last-attempted provider instead of dropping the metadata after the per-profile errors. Fixes #42713. (#73506) Thanks @wenxu007.
+- Context Engine: treat assembled prompt as the default authority for preemptive overflow prechecks so engines that return a windowed, self-contained context no longer trigger false hard-fail compactions on huge raw history. Engines whose assembled view can hide overflow risk can opt back into the legacy behavior with `AssembleResult.promptAuthority: "preassembly_may_overflow"`. (#74255) Thanks @100yenadmin.
+- Mattermost: refresh current native slash command registrations before accepting callbacks so stale tokens from deleted or regenerated commands stop being accepted without a gateway restart while failed validations stay briefly cached and lookup starts are rate-limited per command, gate each callback against the resolved command's own startup token so a token leaked for one slash command cannot poison another command's failure cache, redact slash validation lookup errors, and add a body read timeout to the multi-account routing path so slow callback senders cannot tie up the dispatcher. Thanks @feynman-hou and @eleqtrizit.

 ### Highlights
@@ -15,6 +168,8 @@ Docs: https://docs.openclaw.ai
 
 ### Changes
 
+- Security/tools: configured tool sections (`tools.exec`, `tools.fs`) no longer implicitly widen restrictive profiles (`messaging`, `minimal`).

 ### Fixes
 
+- Voice Call: resolve SecretRef-backed Twilio auth tokens and realtime/streaming provider API keys before initializing call providers, so SecretRef-backed voice-call credentials reach runtime as strings. (#73632) Thanks @VACInc.
+- Security/outbound: strip re-formed HTML tags during plain-text sanitization so nested tag fragments cannot leave a CodeQL-detected `<script>` sequence behind. Thanks @vincentkoc.
+- Security/secrets: compare credential bytes with padded timing-safe buffers instead of hashing candidate passwords before equality checks. Thanks @vincentkoc.
+- Security/QQBot: sanitize debug log arguments before writing to `console.*`, so gateway payload fields cannot forge extra log lines when debug logging is enabled. Thanks @vincentkoc.
+- QQBot: unify slash command auth and c2cOnly gating in the command registry, pass `allowQQBotDataDownloads` when sending slash command file attachments, align clear-storage with actual downloads directory, and add `/bot-me` to display sender user ID. (#73616) Thanks @cxyhhhhh.

+If you believe you've found a security issue in OpenClaw, report it privately first.
 
-## Reporting
+This policy does two things: it gives researchers a clear disclosure path, and it spells out the trust model maintainers use when triaging reports. OpenClaw is local-first agent infrastructure for trusted operators; it is not designed as a shared multi-tenant boundary between adversarial users on one gateway.
+
+The fastest useful reports show a current, reproducible boundary bypass with demonstrated impact. Scanner output, prompt-injection-only chains, or reports that rely on hostile users sharing one trusted gateway are usually not security vulnerabilities under this model.

For this feature, OpenClaw provides fail-closed proxy routing when enabled; the external proxy's destination policy is operator infrastructure, not an OpenClaw-controlled security boundary.

-See `.detect-secrets.cfg` for configuration and `.secrets.baseline` for the baseline.
+OpenClaw uses several security and release-validation layers. No single scanner is treated as the boundary.
 
-Run locally:
+### Secret Detection
+
+OpenClaw uses `detect-secrets` with a checked-in baseline and local exclusion notes (`.secrets.baseline`, `.detect-secrets.cfg`). Secret-resolution behavior is also covered by the dedicated secrets test surface.
+
+Run the baseline scan locally:
 
 ```bash
 pip install detect-secrets==1.5.0
 detect-secrets scan --baseline .secrets.baseline
 ```
+
+### Static Analysis
+
+CI runs CodeQL across core TypeScript, GitHub Actions, Android, macOS, and high-risk runtime boundaries using `.github/workflows/codeql*.yml` and `.github/codeql/*.yml`.
+
+OpenGrep provides a high-precision Semgrep-compatible layer. PRs run a changed-path scan; maintainers can run a full repository scan when needed. The rulepack lives under `security/opengrep/`, with `.semgrepignore` as the shared exclusion file.
+
+Run the local OpenGrep wrapper after installing `opengrep`:
+
+```bash
+scripts/run-opengrep.sh --changed --sarif --error
+pnpm check:opengrep-rule-metadata
+```
+
+### E2E and Live Validation
+
+Security-relevant behavior is also covered by runtime validation, not only static scanning:
+
+- `pnpm test:e2e` for repo E2E coverage.
+- `pnpm test:live` for live provider/runtime coverage.
+- `pnpm test:docker:all` for Docker-packaged runtime scenarios.
+- Package acceptance and scheduled live/E2E workflows for release-path validation.
+
+These lanes exercise packaged installs, gateway/runtime behavior, live model/provider paths, Docker scenarios, and platform smoke tests. They complement scanners by proving the security-sensitive flows still behave correctly in real runtime environments.

+</ul>
+<h3>Changes</h3>
+<ul>
+<li>Security/tools: configured tool sections (<code>tools.exec</code>, <code>tools.fs</code>) no longer implicitly widen restrictive profiles (<code>messaging</code>, <code>minimal</code>). Users who need those tools under a restricted profile must add explicit <code>alsoAllow</code> entries; a startup warning identifies affected configs. Fixes #47487. Thanks @amknight.</li>
+<li>Agents/commitments: add opt-in inferred follow-up commitments with hidden batched extraction, per-agent/per-channel scoping, heartbeat delivery, CLI management, a simple <code>commitments.enabled</code>/<code>commitments.maxPerDay</code> config, and heartbeat-interval due-time clamping so magical check-ins do not echo immediately. (#74189) Thanks @vignesh07.</li>
+<li>Messages/queue: make <code>steer</code> drain all pending Pi steering messages at the next model boundary, keep legacy one-at-a-time steering as <code>queue</code>, and add a dedicated steering queue docs page. Thanks @vincentkoc.</li>
+<li>Messages/queue: default active-run queueing to <code>steer</code> with a 500ms followup fallback debounce, and document the queue modes, precedence, and drop policies on the command queue page. Thanks @vincentkoc.</li>
+<li>Messages: add global <code>messages.visibleReplies</code> so operators can require visible output to go through <code>message(action=send)</code> for any source chat, while <code>messages.groupChat.visibleReplies</code> stays available as the group/channel override. Thanks @scoootscooob.</li>
+<li>Gateway/events: surface <code>spawnedBy</code> on subagent chat and agent broadcast payloads so clients can route child session events without an extra session lookup. (#63244) Thanks @samzong.</li>
+<li>Memory/wiki: add agent-facing people wiki metadata, canonical aliases, person cards, relationship graphs, privacy/provenance reports, evidence-kind drilldown, and search modes for person lookup, question routing, source evidence, and raw claims. Thanks @vincentkoc.</li>
+<li>Active Memory: add optional per-conversation <code>allowedChatIds</code> and <code>deniedChatIds</code> filters so operators can enable recall only for selected direct, group, or channel conversations while keeping broad sessions skipped. (#67977) Thanks @quengh.</li>
+<li>Active Memory: return bounded partial recall summaries when the hidden memory sub-agent times out, including the default temporary-transcript path, so useful recovered context is not discarded. (#73219) Thanks @joeykrug.</li>
+<li>Gateway/memory: add a read-only <code>doctor.memory.remHarness</code> RPC so operator clients can preview bounded REM dreaming output without running mutation paths. (#66673) Thanks @samzong.</li>
+<li>Providers/NVIDIA: add the NVIDIA provider with API-key onboarding, setup docs, static catalog metadata, and literal model-ref picker support so NVIDIA hosted models can be selected with their provider prefix intact. (#71204) Thanks @eleqtrizit.</li>
+<li>Models: suppress explicitly configured openai-codex/gpt-5.4-mini inline entries so a stale models config written by <code>openclaw doctor --fix</code> cannot bypass the manifest capability block and cause repeated assistant-turn failures when the runtime switches to that model on ChatGPT-backed Codex accounts. Conditional suppressions (e.g. qwen Coding Plan endpoint guards) remain bypassable by explicit user configuration. (#74451) Thanks @0xCyda, @hclsys, and @Marvae.</li>
+<li>Added SQLite-backed plugin state store (<code>api.runtime.state.openKeyedStore</code>) for restart-safe keyed registries with TTL, eviction, and automatic plugin isolation. Thanks @amknight.</li>
+<li>Plugin SDK: mark remaining legacy alias exports and diffs tool/config aliases with deprecation metadata, and add a guard so future legacy alias comments require <code>@deprecated</code> tags. Thanks @vincentkoc.</li>
+<li>CLI/QR/dependencies: internalize small terminal progress and QR wrapper helpers while keeping the real QR encoder dependency direct, reducing the default runtime dependency graph without changing QR output behavior. Thanks @vincentkoc.</li>
+<li>Dependencies: refresh workspace runtime, plugin, and tooling packages, including ACP, Pi, AWS SDK, TypeBox, pnpm, oxlint, oxfmt, jsdom, pdfjs, ciao, and tokenjuice, while keeping patched ACP behavior and lint gates current. Thanks @mariozechner.</li>
+<li>Gateway/dev: run <code>pnpm gateway:watch</code> through a named tmux session by default, with <code>gateway:watch:raw</code> and <code>OPENCLAW_GATEWAY_WATCH_TMUX=0</code> for foreground mode, so repeated starts respawn an inspectable watcher without trapping the invoking agent shell. Thanks @vincentkoc.</li>
+<li>Gateway/diagnostics: emit an opt-in startup diagnostics timeline that records gateway lifecycle and plugin-load phases behind a config flag, so slow-start diagnosis no longer requires bespoke instrumentation. Thanks @shakkernerd.</li>
+<li>Control UI/i18n: extend the locale registry with new Persian (fa), Dutch (nl), Vietnamese (vi), Italian (it), Arabic (ar), and Thai (th) entries and ship <code>fa</code>, <code>nl</code>, <code>vi</code>, and <code>zh-TW</code> docs glossaries, so the docs translation pipeline and the Control UI language picker stay aligned across surfaces. Thanks @vincentkoc.</li>
+<li>Channels: add Yuanbao channel docs entrance so the Tencent Yuanbao bot appears in the channel listing and sidebar navigation. (#73443) Thanks @loongfay.</li>
+<li>Channels/Yuanbao: update plugin GitHub location to YuanbaoTeam/yuanbao-openclaw-plugin and add "yuanbao" alias to channel catalog. (#74253) Thanks @loongfay.</li>
+<li>Docker setup: add <code>OPENCLAW_SKIP_ONBOARDING</code> so automated Docker installs can skip the interactive onboarding step while still applying gateway defaults. (#55518) Thanks @jinjimz.</li>
+<li>Security policy: classify media/base64 decode and format-conversion overhead after configured acceptance limits as performance-only for GHSA triage unless a report demonstrates a limit bypass, crash, exhaustion, data exposure, or another boundary bypass. (#74311)</li>
+<li>Security/OpenGrep: add a precise OpenGrep rulepack, source-rule compiler, provenance metadata check, and PR/full scan workflows that validate first-party code and rulepack-only changes while uploading SARIF to GitHub Code Scanning. (#69483) Thanks @jesse-merhi.</li>
+</ul>
+<h3>Fixes</h3>
+<ul>
+<li>Providers/OpenAI Codex: preserve existing wrapped Codex streams during OpenAI attribution so PI OAuth bearer injection reaches ChatGPT/Codex Responses, and strip native Codex-only unsupported payload fields without touching custom compatible endpoints. (#75111) Thanks @keshavbotagent.</li>
+<li>Agents/tool-result guard: use the resolved runtime context token budget for non-context-engine tool-result overflow checks, so long tool-heavy sessions no longer compact early when <code>contextTokens</code> is larger than native <code>contextWindow</code>. Fixes #74917. Thanks @kAIborg24.</li>
+<li>Gateway/systemd: exit with sysexits 78 for supervised lock and <code>EADDRINUSE</code> conflicts so <code>RestartPreventExitStatus=78</code> stops <code>Restart=always</code> restart loops instead of repeatedly reloading plugins against an occupied port. Fixes #75115. Thanks @yhyatt.</li>
+<li>Agents/runtime: skip blank visible user prompts at the embedded-runner boundary before provider submission while still allowing internal runtime-only turns and media-only prompts, so Telegram/group sessions no longer leak raw empty-input provider errors when replay history exists. Fixes #74137. Thanks @yelog, @Gracker, and @nhaener.</li>
+<li>Auto-reply/group chats: fall back to automatic source delivery when a channel precomputes message-tool-only replies but the <code>message</code> tool is unavailable, so Discord/Slack-style group turns do not silently complete without a visible reply. Fixes #74868. Thanks @kagura-agent.</li>
+<li>Browser/gateway: share one browser control runtime across the HTTP control server and <code>browser.request</code>, and refresh browser profile config from the source snapshot, so CLI status/start honors configured <code>browser.executablePath</code>, <code>headless</code>, and <code>noSandbox</code> instead of falling back to stale auto-detection. Fixes #75087; repairs #73617. Thanks @civiltox and @martingarramon.</li>
+<li>Agents/subagents: bound automatic orphan recovery with persisted recovery attempts and a wedged-session tombstone, and teach task maintenance/doctor to reconcile those sessions so restart loops no longer require manual <code>sessions.json</code> surgery. Fixes #74864. Thanks @solosage1.</li>
+<li>Gateway/startup: skip pre-bind web-fetch provider discovery for credential-free <code>tools.web.fetch</code> config, so Docker/Kubernetes gateways bind even when optional fetch limits are present. Fixes #74896. Thanks @KoykL.</li>
+<li>Infra/tmp: tolerate concurrent temp-dir permission repairs by rechecking directories that another process already tightened, so parallel ACP subprocess startup no longer throws <code>Unsafe fallback OpenClaw temp dir</code>. Fixes #66867. Thanks @Kane808-AI and @jarvisz8.</li>
+<li>Signal: match group allowlists against inbound Signal group ids as well as sender ids, and process explicitly configured Signal groups without requiring mentions unless <code>requireMention</code> is set. Fixes #53308. Thanks @minupla and @juan-flores077.</li>
+<li>Slack: require bot-authored room messages with <code>allowBots=true</code> to come from an explicitly channel-allowlisted bot or from a room where an explicit Slack owner is present, so broad bot relays cannot run unattended. Fixes #59284. Thanks @andrewhong-translucent.</li>
+<li>Signal: bound <code>signal-cli</code> installer release and archive downloads with explicit timeouts, declared and streamed size checks, and partial-file cleanup. Fixes #54153. Thanks @jinduwang1001-max and @juan-flores077.</li>
+<li>Signal: derive <code>getAttachment</code> HTTP response caps from <code>channels.signal.mediaMaxMb</code> with base64 headroom, so inbound photos and videos no longer drop behind the 1 MiB RPC default. Fixes #73564. Thanks @heyhudson.</li>
+<li>Signal: keep the long-lived receive SSE monitor open while idle instead of applying the 10s RPC/check deadline, so <code>signal-cli</code> 0.14.3 event streams no longer reconnect before inbound messages arrive. Fixes #74741. Thanks @fgabelmannjr and @k7n4n5t3w4rt.</li>
+<li>Models/OpenAI Codex: restore <code>openai-codex/gpt-5.4-mini</code> for ChatGPT/Codex OAuth PI runs after live OAuth proof, and align the manifest, forward-compat metadata, docs, and regression tests so stale cron and heartbeat configs resolve again. Fixes #74451. Thanks @0xCyda, @hclsys, and @Marvae.</li>
+<li>Memory/runtime-deps: retain the native <code>node-llama-cpp</code> runtime only when local memory search is configured, so packaged installs can repair local embeddings without relying on unreachable global npm installs. Fixes #74777. Thanks @LLagoon3.</li>
+<li>Plugins/runtime-deps: replace stale symlinked mirror target roots before writing runtime-mirror temp files and skip rewriting already materialized hardlinks, so cross-version container upgrades no longer crash-loop on read-only image-layer paths while warm mirrors do less churn. Fixes #75108; refs #75069. Thanks @coletebou and @xiaohuaxi.</li>
+<li>Plugins/runtime-deps: keep bundled provider policy config loading from staging plugin runtime dependencies, so config reads no longer fail on locked-down <code>/var/lib/openclaw/plugin-runtime-deps</code> directories. Fixes #74971. Thanks @eurojojo.</li>
+<li>Plugins/runtime-deps: always write a dependency map in generated runtime-deps install manifests, so npm does not crash or prune staged bundled-plugin packages when the plan is empty. Fixes #74949. Thanks @hclsys.</li>
+<li>Security/outbound: strip re-formed HTML tags during plain-text sanitization so nested tag fragments cannot leave a CodeQL-detected <code><script></code> sequence behind. Thanks @vincentkoc.</li>
+<li>Security/secrets: compare credential bytes with padded timing-safe buffers instead of hashing candidate passwords before equality checks. Thanks @vincentkoc.</li>
+<li>Security/QQBot: sanitize debug log arguments before writing to <code>console.*</code>, so gateway payload fields cannot forge extra log lines when debug logging is enabled. Thanks @vincentkoc.</li>
+<li>QQBot: unify slash command auth and c2cOnly gating in the command registry, pass <code>allowQQBotDataDownloads</code> when sending slash command file attachments, align clear-storage with actual downloads directory, and add <code>/bot-me</code> to display sender user ID. (#73616) Thanks @cxyhhhhh.</li>
+<li>CLI/agents/status: keep <code>openclaw agents</code>, text <code>agents list</code>, and plain text <code>status</code> on read-only metadata paths so human output no longer preloads plugin runtimes or live channel scans before printing. Fixes #74195. Thanks @NianJiuZst.</li>
+<li>Agents/local models: derive context-window guard thresholds from the effective model window with 4k/8k safety floors, so small local models are no longer rejected by fixed 16k/32k preflight cutoffs. Fixes #42999. Thanks @chengjialu8888.</li>
+<li>PDF extraction: resolve PDF.js standard fonts from the installed package root and pass a filesystem path to the Node fallback extractor, so built-in font PDFs render without <code>file://</code> URL lookup failures. Fixes #51455; carries forward #70936, #54447, and #62175. Thanks @anyech, @JuanRdBO, and @solomonneas.</li>
+<li>Media: treat legacy Word/OLE attachments with <code>application/msword</code> or <code>application/x-cfb</code> MIME as binary so printable-looking <code>.doc</code> files are not embedded into prompts as text. Fixes #54176; carries forward #54380. Thanks @andyliu.</li>
+<li>Config: accept documented <code>browser.tabCleanup</code> keys in strict root config validation, so configured tab cleanup no longer fails before runtime reads it. Fixes #74577. Thanks @lonexreb and @ezdlp.</li>
+<li>Cron: validate disabled job schedule edits before persisting updates, so invalid cron changes no longer partially mutate stored jobs. Fixes #74459. Thanks @yfge.</li>
+<li>CLI/cron: warn when <code>openclaw cron add --message</code> omits a nonblank <code>--agent</code>, including blank agent values and session-key jobs, so scheduled agent-turn jobs make default-agent fallback explicit while system events stay quiet. Fixes #42196; carries forward #42245. Thanks @ethanclaw.</li>
+<li>CLI/progress: suppress nested progress spinners and line clears while TUI input owns raw stdin, so Crestodian <code>/status</code> no longer disturbs the active input row. (#75003) Thanks @velvet-shark.</li>
+<li>Channels/status: keep Telegram, Slack, and Google Chat read-only allowlist/default-target accessors on config-only paths, so status and channel summaries do not resolve SecretRef-backed runtime credentials. Thanks @eusine.</li>
+<li>Telegram: use durable message edits for streaming previews instead of native draft state, so generated replies no longer flicker through draft-to-message transitions that look like duplicates. (#75073) Thanks @obviyus.</li>
+<li>Telegram: clamp low long-polling client timeouts so configured <code>timeoutSeconds</code> values below the <code>getUpdates</code> poll window no longer force a fresh HTTPS connection every few seconds. Fixes #75114. Thanks @hpinho77.</li>
+<li>Active Memory: clarify the deprecated <code>modelFallbackPolicy</code> warning and config help so <code>modelFallback</code> is described as a chain-resolution last resort, not runtime failover. (#74602) Thanks @jeffrey701.</li>
+<li>Channels/Discord: keep read-only allowlist/default-target accessors from resolving SecretRef-backed bot tokens, so status and channel summaries no longer fail when tokens are only available in gateway runtime. (#74737) Thanks @eusine.</li>
+<li>Gateway/sessions: align session abort wait semantics across <code>chat</code>, <code>agent</code>, and <code>sessions</code> server methods so abort RPCs return after the targeted sessions actually halt instead of resolving early while runs are still draining. (#74751) Thanks @BunsDev.</li>
+<li>Agents/output: drop copied inbound metadata-only assistant replay turns before provider replay instead of synthesizing a placeholder, so Telegram and other channels cannot receive <code>[assistant copied inbound metadata omitted]</code> as model output. Fixes #74745. Thanks @adamwdear and @Marvae.</li>
+<li>Doctor/memory: suppress skipped embedding-readiness warnings for key-optional providers such as Ollama and LM Studio while preserving timeout and not-ready diagnostics. Fixes #74608 and #73882. Thanks @hclsys.</li>
+<li>Channels/groups: preserve observe-only turn suppression for prepared dispatch paths and restore deprecated channel turn runtime aliases, so passive observer/group flows stay silent while older plugins keep compiling. Thanks @vincentkoc.</li>
+<li>Feishu: skip empty-text messages (e.g. <code>{"text":""}</code>) that carry no media, so no blank user turn is written to the session and downstream LLM providers cannot reject the request with "messages must not be empty". (#74634) Thanks @xdengli and @hclsys.</li>
+<li>Feishu/Bitable: clean up newly created placeholder rows whose fields contain only default empty values while preserving meaningful link, attachment, user, number, boolean, and location values during create-app cleanup. (#73920) Carries forward #40602. Thanks @boat2moon.</li>
+<li>macOS app: keep attach-only mode and the Debug Settings launchd toggle marker-only, so launching with <code>--attach-only</code>/<code>--no-launchd</code> no longer uninstalls the Gateway LaunchAgent or drops active sessions. (#72174) Thanks @DolencLuka.</li>
+<li>macOS Canvas: stop auto-reloading the current A2UI host during push/eval/snapshot flows, so pushed A2UI content remains visible instead of returning to the empty Canvas shell. Fixes #73337. Thanks @Gr4via.</li>
+<li>Plugin SDK: restore the deprecated <code>plugin-sdk/zalouser</code> command-auth facade so published Lark/Zalo plugins that import it load on current hosts. Fixes #74702. Thanks @Goron01.</li>
+<li>Plugins/runtime-deps: include bundled provider plugins when <code>models.providers</code>, auth profiles, agent defaults, or subagent model refs configure that provider, while keeping inactive default-enabled provider plugins out of doctor repair. Refs #74307. Thanks @Skeptomenos.</li>
+<li>Plugins/runtime: resolve relative plugin <code>api.resolvePath</code> inputs against the plugin root instead of the host working directory, while keeping absolute and home paths user-resolved. Fixes #74718. Thanks @jimdawdy-hub.</li>
+<li>Plugins/runtime-deps: refresh mirrored root chunks through a temporary file before replacing the active copy, so failed refreshes do not delete chunks that running plugin imports still need. Thanks @shakkernerd.</li>
+<li>Plugins/runtime-deps: prefer <code>require</code> conditional exports when building staged dependency aliases, so CommonJS-only plugin runtime deps such as <code>ws</code> do not resolve to ESM wrappers under Jiti. Fixes #74547. Thanks @aderius.</li>
+<li>Bonjour/Gateway: cap flapping advertiser restarts in a sliding window, so mDNS probing/name-conflict loops disable discovery instead of churning indefinitely on constrained hosts. Refs #74209 and #74242. Thanks @ndj888 and @Sanjays2402.</li>
+<li>Plugins/runtime-deps: verify staged package entry files before reusing mirrored runtime roots, so browser-control repairs incomplete <code>ajv</code>/MCP SDK installs after update instead of failing after restart on a missing <code>ajv/dist/ajv.js</code>. Refs #74630. Thanks @spickeringlr.</li>
+<li>Heartbeat: resolve <code>responsePrefix</code> template variables with the selected provider, model, and thinking context before delivering alerts or suppressing prefixed <code>HEARTBEAT_OK</code> replies. Fixes #43064; repairs #43065; supersedes #46858. Thanks @yweiii and @JunJD.</li>
+<li>Memory/LanceDB: show full memory UUIDs in the <code>memory_forget</code> candidate list so agents can pass the displayed ID back to targeted deletion without hitting the full-UUID validator. (#66913) Thanks @amittell.</li>
+<li>File-transfer plugin: require canonical read-path preflight authorization for <code>file.fetch</code>, fail closed when <code>dir.fetch</code> preflight entries are missing, absolute, or traversing, and recheck returned archive entries before handing archive bytes to callers. Carries forward #74134. Thanks @omarshahine.</li>
+<li>Channels/Feishu: retry file-typed iOS video resource downloads as <code>media</code> after a Feishu/Lark HTTP 502 and preserve the original 502 when the fallback also fails. Fixes #49855; carries forward #50164 and #73986. Thanks @alex-xuweilong.</li>
+<li>Providers/Amazon Bedrock: expose the full Claude Opus 4.7 thinking profile (<code>xhigh</code>, <code>adaptive</code>, and <code>max</code>) for Bedrock model refs, while keeping Opus/Sonnet 4.6 on adaptive-by-default, so <code>/think</code> menus and validation match the Anthropic transport behavior. Fixes #74701. Thanks @prasad-yashdeep, @sparkleHazard, @Sanjays2402, and @hclsys.</li>
+<li>Plugins/tokenjuice: compile the bundled plugin against tokenjuice 0.7.0's published OpenClaw host types instead of a local compatibility shim, so package contract drift fails in OpenClaw validation before release. Thanks @vincentkoc.</li>
+<li>OAuth/secrets: ignore root-level Google OAuth <code>client_secret_*.json</code> downloads so local client-secret files do not appear as commit candidates. (#74689) Thanks @jeongdulee.</li>
+<li>Memory: mirror <code>sqlite-vec</code> into packaged bundled-plugin runtime deps for the default memory plugin, so builtin vector search does not lose its SQLite extension after upgrading to 2026.4.27. Fixes #74692. Thanks @mozi1924.</li>
+<li>Gateway/startup: bound local discovery advertisement during startup, so a stuck discovery plugin can no longer keep the Gateway from reaching ready. Fixes #73865; refs #74630 and #74633. Thanks @lpendeavors, @moltar-bot, and @Saboor711.</li>
+<li>Gateway/models: serve the last successful model catalog while stale reloads refresh in the background, so Gateway control-plane and OpenAI-compatible requests no longer block behind model-provider rediscovery after model config changes. Refs #74135, #74630, and #74633. Thanks @DerFlash, @moltar-bot, and @Saboor711.</li>
+<li>CLI/status: resolve read-only channel setup runtime fallback from the packaged OpenClaw dist root, so <code>status --all</code>, <code>status --deep</code>, channel, and doctor paths do not crash when an external channel plugin needs setup metadata. Fixes #74693. Thanks @giangthb.</li>
+<li>SDK/events: keep per-run SDK event streams from surfacing duplicate raw chat projection frames, while normalizing chat-only projection frames and preserving raw access through <code>rawEvents</code>. Refs #74704. Thanks @BunsDev.</li>
+<li>SDK: report Gateway terminal <code>agent.wait</code> timeout snapshots with lifecycle metadata as <code>timed_out</code> while keeping bare wait deadlines non-terminal. Thanks @clawsweeper.</li>
+<li>Google Meet: block managed Chrome intro/test speech until browser health proves the participant is in-call, and expose <code>speechReady</code> diagnostics so login, admission, permission, and audio-bridge blockers no longer look like successful speech. Refs #72478. Thanks @DougButdorf.</li>
+<li>Slack/commands: keep native command argument menus on select controls for encoded choice values up to Slack's option limit and truncate fallback button labels to Slack's button-text limit, so long valid choices no longer render invalid Slack blocks. Thanks @slackapi.</li>
+<li>Agents/Codex: flush accepted debounced steering messages before normal app-server turn cleanup, so inbound follow-ups acknowledged as queued are not dropped when the turn completes before the debounce fires. Thanks @vincentkoc.</li>
+<li>Slack/interactive replies: keep rendered buttons and selects within Slack Block Kit value and count limits, and align command argument select values with Slack's option limit, so overlong agent-authored choices no longer make Slack reject the whole block payload. Thanks @slackapi.</li>
+<li>Slack/interactive replies: drop overlong Block Kit button URLs while preserving valid callback values, so malformed link buttons no longer make Slack reject the whole interactive reply. Thanks @slackapi.</li>
+<li>Slack/commands: truncate native command argument-menu confirmation text to Slack's dialog limit, so long plugin arg names no longer make fallback buttons render invalid Block Kit payloads. Thanks @slackapi.</li>
+<li>Slack/exec approvals: cap native approval metadata context to Slack's element and text limits, so large approval details no longer make Slack reject the approval card. Thanks @slackapi.</li>
+<li>Slack/exec approvals: cap native approval update fallback text to Slack's message limit while preserving the rendered approval blocks, so long commands no longer make resolved or expired approval cards stay stale after <code>chat.update</code> rejects <code>msg_too_long</code>. Thanks @slackapi.</li>
+<li>Slack/commands: cap native command argument-menu fallback rows to Slack's message block limit, so large plugin choice lists no longer make Slack reject the generated menu. Thanks @slackapi.</li>
+<li>Slack/commands: drop fallback command argument buttons whose encoded values exceed Slack's button-value limit, so one oversized plugin choice no longer makes Slack reject the whole menu. Thanks @slackapi.</li>
+<li>Slack/messages: merge message-tool presentation and interactive blocks on Slack sends, so buttons and selects are no longer dropped when a structured message body is also present. Thanks @slackapi.</li>
+<li>Slack/messages: cap Block Kit fallback text to Slack's send limit while preserving the rendered blocks, so long context fallbacks no longer make rich Slack messages fail with <code>msg_too_long</code>. Thanks @slackapi.</li>
+<li>Slack/messages: cap Block Kit fallback text on message edits while preserving the rendered blocks, so long context fallbacks no longer make Slack reject <code>chat.update</code> calls with <code>msg_too_long</code>. Thanks @slackapi.</li>
+<li>Channels/WhatsApp: require Baileys outbound message ids before marking auto-replies delivered, so transcript text and ack reactions no longer make failed group replies look sent. Fixes #49225. Thanks @TinyTb.</li>
+<li>CLI/update: scope packaged Node compile caches by OpenClaw version and install metadata, so global installs no longer reuse stale compiled chunks after package updates. Thanks @pashpashpash.</li>
+<li>Channels/Voice call: keep pre-auth webhook in-flight limiting active when socket remote address metadata is missing, so slow-body requests from stripped-IP proxy paths still share the fallback bucket. (#74453) Thanks @davidangularme.</li>
+<li>Plugin SDK/testing: lazy-load TypeScript from the plugin test-contract runtime and add release checks for critical SDK contract entrypoint imports and bundle size, so published packages fail preflight before shipping ESM-incompatible or oversized contract helpers. Thanks @vincentkoc.</li>
+<li>Channels/Microsoft Teams: treat configured <code>19:...@thread.tacv2</code> and legacy <code>19:...@thread.skype</code> team/channel IDs as already resolved during startup, avoiding false <code>channels unresolved</code> warnings while preserving Graph name lookup for display-name entries. Fixes #74683. Thanks @dseravalli.</li>
+<li>CLI/browser: preserve parent flags while lazy-loading browser subcommands, so <code>openclaw browser --json open</code> and <code>openclaw browser --json tabs</code> keep machine-readable output after reparsing. Fixes #74574. Thanks @devintegeritsm.</li>
+<li>Exec/elevated: preserve <code>turnSourceChannel</code> as <code>messageProvider</code> on approval-followup runs so <code>tools.elevated.allowFrom.<provider></code> checks no longer fail with <code>provider=null</code> after the user approves an async elevated command. Fixes #74646. Thanks @xhd2015.</li>
+<li>Plugins/runtime-deps: add <code>openclaw plugins deps</code> inspection and repair with script-free package-manager defaults shared across plugin installers, so operators can repair missing bundled runtime deps without corrupting JSON output or blocking unrelated conflict-free deps. Thanks @vincentkoc.</li>
+<li>Agents/output: strip internal <code>[tool calls omitted]</code> replay placeholders from user-facing replies while preserving visible reply whitespace. Fixes #74573. Thanks @blaspat.</li>
+<li>Providers/Google Vertex: route authorized_user ADC credentials through OpenClaw's REST transport so Docker installs using gcloud application-default credentials no longer crash in the Google SDK before requests are sent. Fixes #74628. Thanks @frankhal2001-design.</li>
+<li>ACP/resolver: fall through to thread-bound session resolution when an explicit <code>--session</code> token cannot be resolved while preserving the bad-token diagnostic when no thread binding exists, so Discord slash commands that auto-fill the current thread ID as the positional ACP target no longer return "Unable to resolve session target" errors. Fixes #66299. Thanks @hclsys, @kindomLee, and @martingarramon.</li>
+<li>Agents/sessions: emit a terminal lifecycle backstop when embedded timeout/error turns return without <code>agent_end</code>, so Gateway sessions no longer stay stuck in <code>running</code> after failover surfaces a timeout. Fixes #74607. Thanks @millerc79.</li>
+<li>Gateway/diagnostics: include stuck-session reason hints and recovery skip causes in warnings, so operators can tell whether a lane is waiting on active work, queued work, or stale bookkeeping. Thanks @vincentkoc.</li>
+<li>Providers/DeepSeek: expose native DeepSeek V4 <code>xhigh</code> and <code>max</code> thinking levels through the provider <code>resolveThinkingProfile</code> hook so <code>/think xhigh|max</code> applies the intended effort instead of falling back to base levels. (#73008) Thanks @ai-hpc.</li>
+<li>Agents/Codex: bound embedded-run cleanup, trajectory flushing, and command-lane task timeouts after runtime failures, so Discord and other chat sessions return to idle instead of staying stuck in processing. Thanks @vincentkoc.</li>
+<li>Heartbeat/exec: consume successful metadata-only async exec completions silently so Telegram and other chat surfaces no longer ask users for missing command logs after <code>No session found</code>. Fixes #74595. Thanks @gkoch02.</li>
+<li>Web fetch: add a documented <code>tools.web.fetch.ssrfPolicy.allowIpv6UniqueLocalRange</code> opt-in and thread it through cache keys and DNS/IP checks so trusted fake-IP proxy stacks using <code>fc00::/7</code> can work without broad private-network access. Fixes #74351. Thanks @jeffrey701.</li>
+<li>OpenAI Codex: restore <code>/verbose full</code> persistence and app-server tool-output forwarding, and retry Gateway E2E temp-home cleanup so debug runs do not regress on stale validation or cleanup flakes. Thanks @vincentkoc.</li>
+<li>Anthropic/Meridian: preserve text and thinking content seeded on <code>content_block_start</code> in anthropic-messages streams, so <code>[thinking, text]</code> replies no longer persist as empty turns or trigger empty-response fallbacks. Fixes #74410. Thanks @vyctorbrzezowski.</li>
+<li>Channels/Matrix: complete the cross-signing handshake on <code>openclaw matrix verify confirm-sas</code> so the operator's other Matrix device clears its <code>Verifying…</code> loop instead of staying stuck after the agent confirms. (#74542) Thanks @nklock.</li>
+<li>CLI/status: honor channel-specific model context-window overrides when reporting effective context, so channel-scoped sessions reflect the active window in <code>openclaw status</code>. Thanks @HemantSudarshan.</li>
+<li>Sandbox/Docker: tolerate Docker daemon unavailability when sandbox mode is off, so doctor and preflight checks no longer fail on installs that do not run the Docker daemon. Fixes #73671. Thanks @kaseonedge.</li>
+<li>Control UI/mobile: persist mobile chat settings through Lit-managed state and route mobile navigation through the same view-state path so chat panel toggles survive transitions on small viewports. Thanks @BunsDev.</li>
+<li>Control UI/exports: align sidebar trigger affordances across the resizable divider, mobile layout, and exported-HTML transcript template so the sidebar toggle and exported transcript sidebar render with consistent hit areas and styling. Thanks @BunsDev.</li>
+<li>Control UI/chat: disable the page refresh affordance while a chat run is active so accidental refreshes do not abort an in-flight reply. Thanks @Angfr95 and @BunsDev.</li>
+<li>Memory/LanceDB: return real memory records from <code>openclaw ltm list</code> (with optional <code>--limit</code> and createdAt ordering) instead of an empty placeholder, so the CLI surface matches the documented LTM listing contract. (#67952) Thanks @zhangyue19921010.</li>
+<li>Media: include redacted per-attempt resize failures and resolved model input capabilities in vision-pipeline errors so ARM64 image failures are diagnosable without closing the remaining routing investigation. Refs #74552. Thanks @1yihui.</li>
+<li>Control UI/i18n: route zh-CN agent, debug, channel-refresh, and exec-approval copy through the locale source while preserving the English <code>Cron Jobs</code> agent tab label and the security-audit command styling. Carries forward #39692 repair context. Thanks @hepeng154833488 and @vincentkoc.</li>
+<li>Auto-reply: honor explicit <code>silentReply.direct: "allow"</code> for clean empty or reasoning-only direct chat turns while keeping the default direct-chat empty-response guard conservative. Fixes #74409. Thanks @jesuskannolis.</li>
+<li>OpenAI Codex: send a non-empty Responses input item when a Codex turn only has systemPrompt-backed instructions, avoiding ChatGPT backend 400s from <code>input: []</code>. Fixes #73820. Thanks @woodhouse-bot.</li>
+<li>Ollama: normalize provider-prefixed tool-call names at the native stream boundary so Kimi/Ollama calls such as <code>functions.exec</code> dispatch as <code>exec</code> instead of missing configured tools. Fixes #74487. Thanks @afurm and @carreipeia.</li>
+<li>Security/audit: resolve configured model aliases before model-tier and small-parameter checks, so alias-based GPT-5/Codex configs no longer report false weak-model warnings. Fixes #74455. Thanks @blaspat.</li>
+<li>CLI/agent: isolate Gateway-timeout embedded fallback runs under explicit <code>gateway-fallback-*</code> sessions so accepted Gateway runs cannot race transcript locks or replace the routed conversation session. Fixes #62981. Thanks @HemantSudarshan.</li>
+<li>CLI/QR/device-pair: reject malformed public setup URLs before issuing mobile pairing bootstrap tokens, while keeping valid bare host:port setup URLs supported. Thanks @Lucenx9.</li>
+<li>Models/UI: hide unauthenticated providers from the default Web chat, <code>/models</code>, and model setup pickers while keeping explicit full-catalog browse paths through <code>view: "all"</code>, <code>/models <provider> all</code>, and <code>models list --all</code>. Fixes #74423. Thanks @guarismo and @SymbolStar.</li>
+<li>Ollama: keep explicit local model runs on target-provider runtime hooks when PI discovery is skipped, so one-shot Ollama calls no longer cold-load unrelated provider runtimes before streaming. Fixes #74078. Thanks @sakalaboator.</li>
+<li>Slack/prompts: rely on Slack <code>interactiveReplies</code> guidance instead of generic <code>inlineButtons</code> config hints so enabled Slack button directives are not contradicted. Fixes #46647. Thanks @jeremykoerber.</li>
+<li>Slack/reactions: treat duplicate <code>already_reacted</code> responses as idempotent success so repeated agent reaction adds no longer surface as tool failures. Fixes #69005. Thanks @shipitsteven and @martingarramon.</li>
+<li>Channels/Discord: cool down Cloudflare/Error 1015 HTML 429 REST failures during startup application lookup and gateway metadata fetches, add <code>channels.discord.applicationId</code> as an app-id lookup bypass, sanitize HTML bodies before logging, and honor Retry-After before falling back to a conservative cooldown. Fixes #38853. (#74489) Thanks @djgeorg3 and @Garyko0730.</li>
+<li>Slack/tools: expose <code>fileId</code> in the shared message tool schema so <code>download-file</code> can receive Slack attachment IDs from inbound placeholders. Fixes #45574. Thanks @chadvegas.</li>
+<li>Exec: reject invalid per-call <code>host</code> values instead of silently falling back to the default target, so hostname-like values fail before commands run. Fixes #74426. Thanks @scr00ge-00 and @vyctorbrzezowski.</li>
+<li>Google/Gemini: send non-empty placeholder content when a Gemini run is triggered with empty or filtered user content, avoiding <code>contents is not specified</code> API errors. Thanks @CaoYuhaoCarl.</li>
+<li>Heartbeat: preserve non-task <code>HEARTBEAT.md</code> context around <code>tasks:</code> blocks and apply <code>agents.defaults.heartbeat</code> to all agents unless per-agent heartbeat entries restrict scope. Thanks @Sekhar03.</li>
+<li>Markdown: preserve paragraph breaks inside loose list items in shared outbound formatting while keeping tight list spacing stable. Thanks @Lucenx9.</li>
+<li>Build/Gateway: route restart, shutdown, respawn, diagnostics, command-queue cleanup, and runtime cleanup through one stable gateway lifecycle runtime entry so rebuilt packages do not strand long-running gateways on stale hashed chunks. Carries forward #73964. Thanks @pashpashpash.</li>
+<li>Memory/wiki: keep broad shared-source and generated related-link blocks from turning every page into a search hit, cap noisy backlinks, support all-term searches such as people-routing queries, and prefer readable page body snippets over generated metadata. Thanks @vincentkoc.</li>
+<li>Cron/Gateway: abort and bounded-clean up timed-out isolated agent turns before recording the timeout, so stale cron sessions cannot leave Discord or other chat lanes stuck in <code>processing</code> after a timeout. Thanks @vincentkoc.</li>
+<li>Agents/errors: suppress malformed streaming tool-call JSON fragments before they reach chat surfaces while preserving provider request-validation diagnostics. Fixes #59076; keeps #59080 as duplicate coverage. (#59118) Thanks @singleGanghood.</li>
+<li>CLI/models: restore provider-filtered <code>models list --all --provider <id></code> rows for providers without manifest/static catalog coverage, including Anthropic and Amazon Bedrock, while keeping the compatibility fallback off expensive availability and resolver paths. Thanks @shakkernerd.</li>
+<li>CLI/models: keep manifest auth-evidence credentials visible across <code>models status</code>, auth probes, and PI model discovery so workspace-scoped provider auth does not disagree between listing, probing, and execution. Thanks @shakkernerd.</li>
+<li>CLI/models: move local credential evidence such as Google Vertex ADC into generic plugin manifest setup metadata so the model-list auth index stays declarative without provider-specific runtime branches. Thanks @shakkernerd.</li>
+<li>CLI/models: compute the <code>models list</code> Auth column through one command-local provider auth index so row rendering no longer repeats auth profile, env, configured-provider, AWS, or synthetic-auth checks per model row. Thanks @shakkernerd.</li>
+<li>CLI/models: move the OpenAI listable catalog into the plugin manifest so <code>models list --all --provider openai</code> uses the manifest fast path instead of loading provider runtime normalization hooks. Thanks @shakkernerd.</li>
+<li>CLI/tools: keep the Gateway <code>tools.*</code> RPC namespace out of plugin command discovery and managed proxy startup, so stray commands like <code>openclaw tools effective</code> fail quickly instead of cold-loading plugin metadata. Refs #73477. Thanks @oromeis.</li>
+<li>CLI/status: keep default text <code>openclaw status --usage</code> on metadata-only channel scans unless <code>--deep</code> or <code>--all</code> is set, and send stray <code>openclaw tools --help</code> through the precomputed root-help fast path so latency-triage commands avoid plugin/runtime cold loads before printing. Refs #73477 and #74220. Thanks @oromeis and @NianJiuZst.</li>
+<li>Agents/diagnostics: trace embedded-run startup and preparation stage timings before model I/O, and warn only on severe slow stages, so Docker/VPS latency reports can identify whether plugin loading, auth/model resolution, tool inventory, bootstrap, MCP/LSP, resource loading, or stream setup is dominating pre-run latency without noisy normal logs. Refs #73428. Thanks @Dimaoggg, @quangtran88, and @Heyvhuang.</li>
+<li>Agents/subagents: cache persisted subagent run registry reads by file signature while preserving fresh-parse isolation, so busy gateways stop reparsing unchanged <code>subagents/runs.json</code> on controller/list/status hot paths. Refs #72338. Thanks @argus-as.</li>
+<li>Gateway/clients: wait for the event loop to become responsive before opening Gateway WebSocket RPC/probe/client connections while charging that readiness wait to caller timeouts, so Windows deferred module-evaluation stalls no longer turn healthy loopback gateways into false handshake timeouts across status, TUI, ACP, MCP, node-host, and plugin client paths. Refs #74279 and #48270. Thanks @wongcode and @joost-heijden.</li>
+<li>Gateway/Windows: read listener command lines via PowerShell before falling back to <code>wmic</code>, so restart health can recognize OpenClaw listeners on modern Windows installs and avoid long anonymous-port waits. Refs #74280. Thanks @zym951223.</li>
+<li>Plugins/runtime-deps: record process start-time in bundled dependency install locks and expire recycled-PID locks, so Docker gateway restarts recover from stale <code>.openclaw-runtime-deps.lock</code> directories without waiting through repeated five-minute timeouts. Fixes #74346. (#74361) Thanks @jhsmith409.</li>
+<li>Plugins/runtime-deps: memoize packaged bundled runtime dist-mirror preparation after the first successful pass while keeping source-checkout mirrors refreshable, so constrained Docker/VPS installs avoid repeated root scans before chat turns. Refs #73428, #73421, #73532, and #73477. Thanks @Dimaoggg, @oromeis, @oadiazp, @jmfraga, @bstanbury, @antoniusfelix, and @jkobject.</li>
+<li>Channels/Discord: treat bare numeric outbound targets that match the effective Discord DM allowlist as user DMs while preserving account-specific legacy <code>dm.allowFrom</code> precedence over inherited root <code>allowFrom</code>. (#74303) Thanks @Squirbie.</li>
+<li>Channels/Discord/Slack: share one DM policy/allowlist resolver across runtime, setup, allowlist editing, and doctor repair, so legacy <code>dm.policy</code> / <code>dm.allowFrom</code> compatibility migrates to canonical <code>dmPolicy</code> / <code>allowFrom</code> without divergent access checks. Thanks @Squirbie.</li>
+<li>Control UI: make the chat sidebar split divider focusable, keyboard-resizable, ARIA-described, and pointer-event based so sidebar resizing works without a mouse. Thanks @BunsDev.</li>
+<li>Agents/usage: keep PI embedded-run telemetry attributed to the resolved model provider instead of the PI harness label, so OpenRouter and other provider-backed turns report the right provider in session usage and traces. Thanks @vincentkoc.</li>
+<li>Agents/attribution: send OpenClaw attribution headers on native OpenAI and Codex traffic, including SDK transports, realtime voice and TTS, device-code auth, WHAM usage, and remote embeddings, so PI-origin defaults no longer leak into provider requests. Thanks @vincentkoc.</li>
+<li>Agents/auth: keep OAuth auth profiles inherited from the main agent read-through instead of copying refresh tokens into secondary agents, and refresh Codex app-server tokens against the owning store so multi-agent swarms avoid reused refresh-token failures. Fixes #74055. Thanks @ClarityInvest.</li>
+<li>Channels/Telegram: honor <code>ALL_PROXY</code> / <code>all_proxy</code> and service-level <code>OPENCLAW_PROXY_URL</code> when constructing the HTTP/1-only Telegram Bot API transport, so Windows and service installs that rely on those proxy settings no longer fall back to direct egress. Fixes #74014; refs #74086. Thanks @SymbolStar.</li>
+<li>Channels/Telegram: keep raw host/network-unreachable Bot API connect failures non-fatal and route tagged polling uncaught exceptions through the Telegram restart path, so transient reachability failures no longer kill the Gateway or leave long polling stuck. Fixes #60515; refs #74540. Thanks @HemantSudarshan, @thacid22, and @ewimsatt.</li>
+<li>Channels/Telegram: continue polling when <code>deleteWebhook</code> hits a transient network failure but <code>getWebhookInfo</code> confirms no webhook is configured, so startup does not retry cleanup forever after the webhook was already removed. Refs #74086; carries forward #47384. Thanks @clovericbot.</li>
+<li>Channels/Telegram: retry native quote replies without <code>reply_parameters.quote</code> when Telegram returns <code>QUOTE_TEXT_INVALID</code>, so stale or truncated quote excerpts no longer drop the whole reply. Fixes #74581. Thanks @moeedahmed.</li>
+<li>Channels/Telegram: apply strict safe-send retry to inbound final replies when grammY wraps a pre-connect failure, while leaving ambiguous plain network envelopes single-shot to avoid duplicate visible messages. Fixes #74203. Thanks @nanli2000cn.</li>
+<li>Channels/Telegram: surface polling liveness warnings in channel status and doctor when a running long-poller has not completed <code>getUpdates</code> after startup grace or its transport activity is stale, so silent polling failures no longer look clean. Refs #74299. Thanks @lolaopenclaw.</li>
+<li>Channels/Telegram: publish webhook runtime state and warn when <code>setWebhook</code> has not completed after startup grace, so webhook-mode accounts no longer look healthy while registration is still failing or retrying. Refs #74299. Thanks @lolaopenclaw and @martingarramon.</li>
+<li>Channels/Telegram: bound native command menu <code>deleteMyCommands</code> and <code>setMyCommands</code> Bot API calls and allow the same timeout-triggered transport fallback retry as other startup control calls, so Windows/WSL network stalls cannot leave command sync hanging behind an otherwise running provider. Refs #74086. Thanks @SymbolStar.</li>
+<li>ACP/commands: accept forwarded ACP timeout config controls in the OpenClaw bridge, treat unsupported discard-close controls as recoverable cleanup, and restore native <code>/verbose full</code> plus no-arg status behavior, so Discord command menus and nested ACP turns no longer fail on supported session controls. Thanks @vincentkoc.</li>
+<li>Codex harness: interrupt and release native app-server turns that go quiet after an OpenClaw dynamic-tool response without sending <code>turn/completed</code>, so Discord and other chat lanes do not stay stuck in <code>processing</code>. Thanks @vincentkoc.</li>
+<li>Codex harness: bound OpenClaw dynamic tool responses to 30 seconds and fail closed with an explicit tool result when the app-server bridge would otherwise strand the turn in <code>processing</code>. Thanks @vincentkoc.</li>
+<li>TUI/status: clear stale <code>streaming</code> footer state when a final event arrives after the active run was already cleared and no tracked runs remain, while preserving concurrent-run ownership and inactive local <code>/btw</code> terminal handling. Fixes #64825; carries forward #64842, #64843, #64847, and #64862. Thanks @briandevans and @Yanhu007.</li>
+<li>Channels/Discord: fail startup closed when Discord cannot resolve the bot's own identity and keep mention gating active when only configured mention patterns can detect mentions, so the provider no longer continues with a missing bot id. Fixes #42219; carries forward #46856 and #49218. Thanks @education-01 and @BenediktSchackenberg.</li>
+<li>Channels/Discord: split long CJK replies at punctuation and code-point-safe fallback boundaries so Discord chunking stays readable without corrupting astral characters. Fixes #38597; repairs #71384. Thanks @p3nchan.</li>
+<li>TUI: keep the streaming watchdog alive across active tool/lifecycle proof-of-life, pause it during disconnects, and reload history after stale reconnect runs so long-running chats stop flipping to false idle or hanging on stale streaming. Fixes #69081. Thanks @EenvoudJasper.</li>
+<li>Browser/gateway: ignore Playwright dialog-close races from <code>Page.handleJavaScriptDialog</code> so browser automation no longer crashes the Gateway when a dialog disappears before Playwright accepts it. (#40067) Thanks @randyjtw.</li>
+<li>Cron/Gateway: defer missed isolated agent-turn catch-up out of the channel startup window, so overdue cron work cannot starve Discord or Telegram while providers connect after a restart. Thanks @vincentkoc.</li>
+<li>Heartbeat/cron: defer heartbeat turns while cron work is active or queued, add opt-in <code>heartbeat.skipWhenBusy</code> for subagent/nested lane pressure, and retry busy skips without advancing the schedule so local Ollama hosts do not run heartbeat and cron prompts concurrently. Fixes #50773. Thanks @scottgl9.</li>
+<li>Agents/thinking: honor configured model <code>compat.supportedReasoningEfforts</code> entries that include <code>xhigh</code>, so custom OpenAI-compatible provider refs expose and validate <code>/think xhigh</code> consistently across command menus, Gateway sessions, agent CLI, and <code>llm-task</code>. Carries forward #48904. Thanks @Milchstrassse and @wufunc.</li>
+<li>Vercel AI Gateway: expose provider-owned <code>/think xhigh</code> for trusted OpenAI/Codex upstream refs and Claude adaptive thinking for Anthropic upstream refs, while leaving untrusted namespaced refs on base levels. Carries forward #41561. Thanks @Zcg2021.</li>
+<li>Plugins/runtime-deps: prune stale <code>openclaw-unknown-*</code> bundled runtime dependency roots during Gateway startup while keeping recent or locked roots, so old staging debris cannot keep growing across restarts. Thanks @vincentkoc.</li>
+<li>Plugins/runtime-deps: include ten more root-package runtime dependencies (<code>@agentclientprotocol/sdk</code>, <code>@lydell/node-pty</code>, <code>croner</code>, <code>dotenv</code>, <code>jiti</code>, <code>json5</code>, <code>jszip</code>, <code>markdown-it</code>, <code>tar</code>, <code>web-push</code>) in <code>MIRRORED_CORE_RUNTIME_DEP_NAMES</code> so they are mirrored into the runtime-deps tree alongside <code>semver</code> and <code>tslog</code>, preventing <code>Cannot find package 'X'</code> failures from core dist code (for example <code>qmd-manager</code>, <code>cron/schedule</code>, <code>infra/archive</code>, <code>infra/push-web</code>, <code>infra/backup-create</code>, <code>process/supervisor/adapters/pty</code>) when no enabled extension owns the dependency. Adds a static drift guard test that scans <code>src/</code> for value imports of root-package deps and fails CI when one is missing from the mirror allowlist or extension-owned set. Refs #74199. Thanks @maxpuppet.</li>
+<li>Ollama: compose caller abort signals with guarded-fetch timeouts for native <code>/api/chat</code> streams, so <code>/stop</code> and early cancellation still interrupt local Ollama requests that also carry provider timeout budgets. Refs #74133. Thanks @obviyus.</li>
+<li>Doctor/TTS: migrate legacy <code>messages.tts.enabled</code>, agent TTS, channel TTS, and voice-call plugin TTS toggles to <code>auto</code> mode during <code>openclaw doctor --fix</code>, matching the documented TTS config contract. Thanks @vincentkoc.</li>
+<li>CLI/logs: fall back to the configured Gateway file log when implicit loopback Gateway connections close or time out before or during <code>logs.tail</code>, so <code>openclaw logs</code> still works while diagnosing local-model Gateway disconnects. Refs #74078. Thanks @sakalaboator.</li>
+<li>MCP/plugins: stringify non-array plugin tool results with chat-content coercion instead of default object stringification, so MCP callers receive useful JSON/text content from plugin tools. Thanks @vincentkoc.</li>
+<li>Active Memory/QMD: make gateway-start QMD refresh opt-in via <code>memory.qmd.update.startup</code>, keep normal memory access lazy, preserve interactive file watching, and align watcher dependency/build ignores with QMD's scanner so cold gateway startup no longer imports or initializes QMD by default. Thanks @codexGW.</li>
+<li>Channels/Discord: remove Discord-owned queued-run timeout replies through the shared channel lifecycle queue while preserving message ordering and compatibility timeout constants, so long Discord turns stay governed by session/tool/runtime lifecycle instead of channel fallback errors. Thanks @codexGW.</li>
+<li>Agents/tools: clamp <code>process.poll</code> waits to 30 seconds, advertise that cap in the tool schema, and honor abort signals while waiting, so long command polls cannot pin agent responsiveness after cancellation. Thanks @vincentkoc.</li>
+<li>Plugin SDK: add tracked Discord component-message helpers and a Telegram account-resolution compatibility facade, so existing plugins using those subpaths resolve while new plugins stay on generic channel SDK contracts. Thanks @vincentkoc.</li>
+<li>Shared labels: preserve Unicode combining marks and NFC-equivalent accented text in group/channel slug normalization so non-Latin labels no longer lose meaningful characters. Fixes #58932; carries forward #58942 and #58995. Thanks @fengqing-git, @Starhappysh, and @koen666.</li>
+<li>Channels/Telegram: include probed video width and height when sending regular Telegram videos, so portrait clips render with the correct orientation instead of being stretched by clients. (#18915) Thanks @storyarcade.</li>
+<li>Docs/Hetzner: clarify that SSH tunnel access requires <code>AllowTcpForwarding local</code> before running <code>ssh -L</code>, so hardened VPS sshd configs do not block loopback Gateway access. Fixes #54557; carries forward #54564; refs #54954. Thanks @satishkc7, @blackstrype, and @Aftabbs.</li>
+<li>Agents/config: preserve authored <code>agents.defaults.params</code> and per-model <code>agents.defaults.models[].params</code> during narrowed internal config writes, so OpenAI transport overrides such as <code>transport: "sse"</code> and <code>openaiWsWarmup: false</code> are not stripped from <code>openclaw.json</code>. Fixes #73607; refs #73428. Thanks @quangtran88.</li>
+<li>Agents/model config: resolve per-model extra params through canonical model keys while preserving legacy double-prefixed fallback entries, so provider-prefixed model ids such as <code>openrouter/auto</code> keep their configured runtime params. (#44319) Thanks @HenryXiaoYang.</li>
+<li>Gateway/shutdown: report structured shutdown warnings and HTTP close timeout warnings through <code>ShutdownResult</code> while preserving lifecycle hook hardening. Carries forward #41296. Thanks @edenfunf.</li>
+<li>Control UI: keep Agents Overview and config-form select dropdowns on their configured value after options render while preserving inherited agent model placeholders. Fixes #40352; carries forward #52948. Thanks @xiaoquanidea.</li>
+<li>Agents/exec: launch zsh, bash, and fish host exec shells with startup files suppressed while preserving existing PATH fallbacks, so daemon env is not overridden by shell startup files. Carries forward #40200; fixes #40179. Thanks @NewdlDewdl.</li>
+<li>Plugins/QA: prebuild the private QA channel runtime before plugin gauntlet source runs so wrapper CPU/RSS measurements are not polluted by private QA dist rebuild work. Thanks @vincentkoc.</li>
+<li>Plugins/QA: add a Kitchen Sink plugin gauntlet that installs the external package, checks command inventory, MCP tools, channel status, provider turns, gateway RSS, CPU, and fatal log anomalies. Thanks @vincentkoc.</li>
+<li>Plugins/config: reuse the bundled plugin alias scan within a single config normalization pass, so Kitchen Sink-style plugin configs no longer peg Gateway CPU by repeatedly rescanning bundled metadata before agent turns. Thanks @vincentkoc.</li>
+<li>Plugins/channels: reject malformed runtime channel registrations that omit required config helpers before they can poison channel status. Thanks @vincentkoc.</li>
+<li>MCP/plugins: serialize raw plugin tool return values through the plugin-tools MCP bridge so Kitchen Sink-style tools no longer surface <code>undefined</code> content. Thanks @vincentkoc.</li>
+<li>Gateway/reload: bound default restart deferral and SIGUSR1 restart drain to five minutes while preserving explicit <code>deferralTimeoutMs: 0</code> indefinite waits, so stale active work accounting cannot block config reloads forever. Thanks @vincentkoc.</li>
+<li>Active Memory: register the prompt-build hook with the configured recall timeout plus setup grace instead of the 150s maximum budget, so default memory recall cannot delay turn startup for multiple minutes. Thanks @vincentkoc.</li>
+<li>Gateway/readiness: include an <code>eventLoop</code> diagnostic block in local or authenticated <code>/readyz</code> responses with event-loop delay (p99 and max), event-loop utilization, CPU core ratio, and a <code>degraded</code> flag, so operators can see when slow startups or runaway turns stall the event loop. Thanks @vincentkoc.</li>
+<li>Gateway/agents: schedule accepted agent runs after the accepted RPC frame has a chance to flush, so pre-turn prompt/context work is less likely to starve immediate <code>agent.wait</code> callers. Thanks @vincentkoc.</li>
+<li>CLI/update: tolerate stale memory-runtime import failures during best-effort CLI process teardown, so <code>openclaw update</code> replacing hashed runtime chunks before the finalizer runs no longer surfaces as exit-time <code>Cannot find module</code> noise. Thanks @vincentkoc.</li>
+<li>CLI/channels logs: reuse the rolling log-file resolver so <code>openclaw channels logs</code> falls back to the active dated log across date boundaries without reading unrelated custom log files. Fixes #42875; carries forward #42904 and #43043. Thanks @ethanclaw and @wdskuki.</li>
+<li>CLI/update: skip tracked plugins disabled in config during post-update plugin sync before npm, ClawHub, or marketplace update checks, preserving their install records without failing the update. Fixes #73880. Thanks @islandpreneur007.</li>
+<li>Control UI: fix Peak Error Hours showing incorrect hourly rates when the browser's timezone observes DST, by storing hourly message counts with UTC date keys and using DST-aware <code>Date.getHours()</code> for local conversion. Also extract <code>accumulateMessageCounts</code> helper to reduce duplicated daily/hourly aggregation logic. (#49396) Thanks @konanok.</li>
+<li>iMessage: normalize known leading attributedBody corruption markers on sent-message echo text keys so delayed reflected echoes with U+FFFD/U+FFFE/U+FFFF/FEFF prefixes are dropped without collapsing interior text. Fixes #59973; carries forward #59980 and #62191. Thanks @neeravmakwana and @maguilar631697.</li>
+<li>Security/audit: recognize dangerous node command IDs as valid <code>gateway.nodes.denyCommands</code> entries, so audit only warns on real typos or unsupported patterns. (#56923) Thanks @chziyue.</li>
+<li>Cron: treat implicit text payloads with agent-turn overrides as agent turns, preserving model overrides for scheduled text prompts instead of pruning them as system events. Fixes #28905. (#64060) Thanks @liaoandi.</li>
+<li>Telegram/exec approvals: stop treating general Telegram chat allowlists and <code>defaultTo</code> routes as native exec approvers; Telegram now uses explicit <code>execApprovals.approvers</code> or owner identity from <code>commands.ownerAllowFrom</code>, matching the first-pairing owner bootstrap path. Thanks @pashpashpash.</li>
+<li>Plugins/providers: keep Gateway startup primary-model discovery on metadata-only provider entries and reuse active non-speech capability providers even with explicit plugin entries, avoiding unnecessary provider registry loads during startup and media capability checks. Fixes #73729, #73835, and #73793; carries forward #73853 and #73794. Thanks @sg1416-zg, @brokemac79, and @poolside-ventures.</li>
+<li>Chat commands: route sensitive group <code>/diagnostics</code> and <code>/export-trajectory</code> approvals and results to a private owner route, preferring same-surface DMs before falling back to the first configured owner route, so Discord group invocations can land in Telegram when that is the primary owner interface. Thanks @pashpashpash.</li>
+<li>Gateway/hooks: keep successful <code>deliver:false</code> agent hooks silent, log a hook audit record for suppressed success announcements, and suppress fallback summaries after attempted hook delivery while still surfacing failed hook runs. Repairs #55761; builds on #36332 and #49234. Thanks @EffortlessSteven, @cioclawcode, and @BrennerSpear.</li>
+<li>Plugin SDK/Discord: restore a deprecated <code>openclaw/plugin-sdk/discord</code> compatibility facade and the legacy compat group-policy warning export for the published <code>@openclaw/discord@2026.3.13</code> package, covering its config, account, directory, status, and thread-binding imports while keeping new plugins on generic SDK subpaths. Fixes #73685; supersedes #73703. Thanks @rderickson9 and @SymbolStar.</li>
+<li>Channels/Discord: suppress duplicate gateway monitors when multiple enabled accounts resolve to the same bot token, preferring config tokens over default env fallback and reporting skipped duplicates as disabled. Supersedes #73608. Thanks @kagura-agent.</li>
+<li>CLI/health: build channel health summaries from inspected credential metadata plus runtime state, so <code>openclaw health --json</code> reports Discord <code>running</code>, <code>connected</code>, and <code>tokenSource</code> consistently with channel status. Fixes #44354. Thanks @ferenc-acs.</li>
+<li>Control UI/Talk: decode Google Live binary WebSocket JSON frames and stop queued browser audio on interruption or shutdown, so browser Talk leaves <code>Connecting Talk...</code> and barge-in no longer plays stale audio. Fixes #73601 and #73460; supersedes #73466. Thanks @Spolen23 and @WadydX.</li>
+<li>Channels/Discord: ignore stale route-shaped conversation bindings after a Discord channel is reconfigured to another agent, while preserving explicit focus and subagent bindings. Fixes #73626. Thanks @ramitrkar-hash.</li>
+<li>Agents/bootstrap: pass pending BOOTSTRAP.md contents through the first-run user prompt while keeping them out of privileged system context, and show limited bootstrap guidance when workspace file access is unavailable. Fixes #73622. Thanks @mark1010.</li>
+<li>ACP/tasks: classify parent-owned ACP sessions as background work regardless of persistent runtime mode, and close terminal stale ACP sessions when no active binding remains, so delegated ACP output reports through the parent task notifier instead of acting like a normal foreground chat session. Refs #73609. Thanks @joerod26.</li>
+<li>Tasks: keep terminal mirrored TaskFlow timestamps pinned to task completion time and let maintenance repair stale mirrors, so ACP terminal delivery updates no longer leave inconsistent flow audits. Refs #73609. Thanks @joerod26.</li>
+<li>Gateway/sessions: add conservative stuck-session recovery that releases only stale session lanes while active embedded runs, reply operations, and lane tasks remain serialized, so queued follow-ups can drain without aborting legitimate long-running turns. Refs #73581, #73655, #73652, #73705, #73647, #73602, #73592, and #73601. Thanks @WS-Q0758, @bryangauvin, @spenceryang1996-dot, @bmilne1981, @mattmcintyre, @Vksh07, and @Spolen23.</li>
+<li>Plugins: cache unchanged plugin manifest loads by file signature, reducing repeated JSON/JSON5 parsing and manifest normalization in bursty startup and runtime registry paths. Refs #73532 and #73647; carries forward #73678. Thanks @TheDutchRuler.</li>
+<li>Plugins/runtime-deps: cache unchanged bundled runtime mirror dist-file materialization decisions and close file-lock handles on owner-write failures, reducing repeated startup chunk scans and avoiding FileHandle-GC recovery stalls. Refs #73532. Thanks @oadiazp and @bstanbury.</li>
+<li>Plugins/runtime-deps: retry and defer transient cleanup failures for owned runtime staging directories so CLI startup no longer aborts after a successful bundled dependency swap. Refs #73903. Thanks @bobfreeman1989.</li>
+<li>Plugins/runtime-deps: cache bundled runtime-deps JSON/package files by file signature, reducing repeated staged-runtime metadata reads during bundled channel startup. Refs #73647 and #73705. Thanks @mattmcintyre and @bmilne1981.</li>
+<li>Plugins/runtime-deps: delegate bundled plugin dependency staging to complete npm/pnpm install plans with durable runtime state, removing retained-manifest and source-checkout cache reconciliation from Gateway startup. Refs #73532. Thanks @oadiazp, @bstanbury, and @jmfraga.</li>
+<li>Plugins/runtime-deps: replace Gateway-start root chunk dependency inference with explicit mirrored-root dependency metadata, reducing staged runtime scans while preserving lazy per-plugin installs. Refs #73532. Thanks @oadiazp and @bstanbury.</li>
+<li>Plugins/runtime-deps: run pnpm staged installs outside the repository workspace and disable pnpm release-age gates for exact bundled runtime dependency materialization, so bundled plugin dependency repair writes packages into the generated stage without blocking fresh packaged dependencies. Refs #73532. Thanks @oadiazp and @bstanbury.</li>
+<li>CLI/TUI: keep <code>chat.history</code> off model-catalog discovery so initial Gateway-backed TUI history loads cannot block behind slow provider/plugin model scans on low-core hosts. Refs #73524. Thanks @harshcatsystems-collab.</li>
+<li>Channels/WhatsApp: flag recently reconnected linked accounts in channel status even when the socket is currently healthy, so flapping WhatsApp Web sessions no longer look clean after a brief reconnect. Refs #73602. Thanks @Vksh07.</li>
+<li>Channels/WhatsApp: log shared dispatcher delivery failures with reply kind, message id, chat id, and connection id, so typing-without-send reports can identify whether the WhatsApp send path rejected a generated reply. Refs #74269. Thanks @tomcosta-git.</li>
+<li>Feishu: suppress distinct late <code>final</code> text deliveries after a streaming card has already closed, while keeping media attachments deliverable, so late-finals no longer reopen duplicate Feishu cards. Fixes #71977. (#72294) Thanks @MonkeyLeeT.</li>
+<li>Gateway: expose <code>gateway.handshakeTimeoutMs</code> in config, schema, and docs while preserving <code>OPENCLAW_HANDSHAKE_TIMEOUT_MS</code> precedence, so loaded or low-powered hosts can tune local WebSocket pre-auth handshakes without patching dist files. Supersedes #51282; refs #73592 and #73652. Thanks @henry-the-frog.</li>
+<li>Gateway/TUI/status: align configured and env-based WebSocket handshake budgets across local clients, probes, and fallback RPCs while preserving explicit status timeouts and paired-device auth fallback, so slow local gateways are not marked unreachable by a shorter client watchdog. Refs #73524, #73535, #73592, and #73602. Thanks @harshcatsystems-collab, @DJBlackhawk, and @Vksh07.</li>
+<li>Gateway/startup: return retryable <code>UNAVAILABLE</code> during the sidecar startup window and keep CLI/TUI/status clients retrying inside their existing timeout budget, so early connects no longer surface as terminal handshake failures. Fixes #73652. Thanks @spenceryang1996-dot.</li>
+<li>Gateway/proxy: bypass inherited proxy environment for local Gateway control-plane WebSockets to <code>localhost</code> as well as loopback IPs, so Windows/WSL proxy settings cannot intercept local CLI/TUI Gateway connections. Supersedes #73474; refs #73602. Thanks @DhtIsCoding.</li>
+<li>Doctor/Gateway: use a lightweight <code>status</code> RPC without channel summary work for doctor Gateway liveness, so slow health snapshots do not falsely drive service restart repair. Fixes #64400; supersedes #64511. Thanks @CHE10X and @EronFan.</li>
+<li>Agents/auth: scope external CLI credential discovery to configured providers during model auth status and startup prewarm, so opencode-only and other single-provider gateways do not block on unrelated Claude CLI Keychain probes. Fixes #73908. Thanks @Ailuras.</li>
+<li>Agents/model selection: resolve slash-form aliases before provider/model parsing and keep alias-resolved primary models subject to transient provider cooldowns, so cron and persisted sessions do not retry cooled-down raw aliases. Fixes #73573 and #73657. Thanks @akai-shuuichi and @hashslingers.</li>
+<li>Agents/Claude CLI: reuse already-cached macOS Keychain credentials for no-prompt Claude credential reads, so doctor/runtime checks do not miss fresh interactive Claude auth. Fixes #73682. Thanks @RyanSandoval.</li>
+<li>Agents/Claude CLI doctor: scope workspace and project-dir checks to agents that actually use the Claude CLI runtime, so non-default Claude agents no longer make the default agent look Claude-backed. Fixes #73903. Thanks @bobfreeman1989.</li>
+<li>Gateway/sessions: expose effective agent runtime metadata on session rows, <code>sessions.patch</code>, and local <code>openclaw sessions --json</code>, while keeping Claude CLI-backed rows on the canonical model provider so runtime backend and model identity are no longer conflated. Fixes #73090. Thanks @vishutdhar.</li>
+<li>Gateway/auth status: scope external CLI credential overlays to configured providers, runtimes, or profiles and keep status reads off new Keychain prompts, so single-provider Gateway configs no longer probe unrelated Claude/Codex/MiniMax auth on startup. Fixes #73908. Thanks @Ailuras.</li>
+<li>Agents/runtime status: expose effective agent runtime metadata in <code>agents.list</code>, Control UI agent panels, and <code>/agents</code>, and avoid rendering stale or cumulative CLI token totals as live context usage. Fixes #73660, #73578, and #45268. Thanks @spartman, @DashLabsDev, and @xyooz.</li>
+<li>Agents/transcripts: strip empty assistant text blocks while preserving valid text, images, and signatures, so Anthropic-style providers no longer reject sanitized transcript turns. Fixes #73640. Thanks @jowhee327.</li>
+<li>Gateway/sessions: preserve session keys on hidden lifecycle events so channel-routed runs still persist terminal session state and do not strand session status as running after Codex turn completion. Thanks @cathrynlavery.</li>
+<li>Providers/Bedrock: omit deprecated <code>temperature</code> for Claude Opus 4.7 Bedrock model ids, named and application inference profiles, including dotted <code>opus-4.7</code> refs, and classify the nested validation response for failover. Fixes #73663. Thanks @bstanbury.</li>
+<li>Gateway: raise the preauth/connect-challenge timeout to 15s so cold CLI starts on slower hosts have more time to process the WebSocket challenge before the Gateway closes the connection. Fixes #51469; refs #73592 and #62060. Thanks @GothicFox and @jackychen-png.</li>
+<li>CLI/status: fall back to a bounded local <code>status</code> RPC when loopback detail probes time out or report unknown capability, so reachable local gateways are no longer marked unreachable by slow read diagnostics. Fixes #73535; refs #48360, #62762, #51357, and #42019. Thanks @RacecarGuy, @justinschille, @DJBlackhawk, @tianyaqpzm, and @0xrsydn.</li>
+<li>CLI/gateway: reuse cached paired-device auth during <code>gateway probe</code> and report post-connect diagnostic failures as degraded reachability, so healthy local gateways are no longer marked unreachable after loopback auth or read timeouts. Fixes #48360. Thanks @RacecarGuy.</li>
+<li>Channels/Discord: give Discord Gateway WebSocket handshakes a 30s timeout so stalled TLS/network transitions emit an error and Carbon can continue its reconnect loop instead of leaving the bot silent until restart. Refs #50046. Thanks @codexGW.</li>
+<li>Mattermost/WebSocket: send protocol ping/pong keepalives and terminate stale sessions when pongs stop arriving, so silent TCP drops reconnect instead of leaving monitoring idle. Fixes #41837; carries forward #57621; refs #50138, #44160, and #51104. Thanks @JasonWang1124.</li>
+<li>Channels/Telegram: suppress standalone failed edit/write warning payloads when a user-facing assistant error reply already covers the turn, while keeping unresolved mutating failures visible behind success-looking or suppressed-error replies. Fixes #39631; refs #73750; carries forward #39636 and #39717; leaves #39406 for configurable delivery policy. Thanks @Bartok9 and @Bortlesboat.</li>
+<li>Control UI/agents: persist the Set Default action through <code>agents.list[].default</code> instead of writing the unsupported <code>agents.defaultId</code> field, so saved default-agent changes survive config validation. Fixes #65565; carries forward #72585. Thanks @luyao618.</li>
+<li>NVIDIA/NIM: persist the <code>NVIDIA_API_KEY</code> provider marker and mark bundled NVIDIA Chat Completions models as string-content compatible, so NIM models load from <code>models.json</code> and OpenAI-compatible subagent calls send plain text content. Fixes #73013 and #50107; refs #73014. Thanks @bautrey, @iot2edge, @ifearghal, and @futhgar.</li>
+<li>Channels/Discord: let text-only configs drop the <code>GuildVoiceStates</code> gateway intent and expose a bounded <code>/gateway/bot</code> metadata timeout with rate-limited fallback logs, reducing idle CPU and warning floods. Fixes #73709 and #73585. Thanks @sanchezm86 and @trac3r00.</li>
+<li>Agents/sessions: mark same-turn <code>sessions_send</code> and A2A reply prompts with an inter-session <code>isUser=false</code> envelope before they reach the model, so foreign session output no longer lands as bare active user text. Fixes #73702; refs #73698, #73609, #73595, and #73622. Thanks @alvelda.</li>
+<li>Channels/Telegram: fail closed when account-level public DM settings conflict with a restrictive top-level <code>allowFrom</code>, and require an effective wildcard before <code>dmPolicy="open"</code> behaves as public access. Fixes #73756; refs #73698. Thanks @Hilo-Hilo and @xace1825.</li>
+<li>Channels/security: move open-DM allowlist semantics into the shared policy helpers and align Discord, Slack, Mattermost, Matrix, Feishu, LINE, IRC, Google Chat, Zalo, Zalo User, QQ Bot, and Synology Chat so <code>dmPolicy="open"</code> is public only with an effective wildcard and otherwise still respects sender allowlists. Refs #73756 and #73698. Thanks @Hilo-Hilo and @xace1825.</li>
+<li>ACP/tasks: sweep orphaned parent-owned ACP sessions whose task records are gone, preserving bound persistent sessions but clearing unbound stale ACPX metadata so old child sessions cannot silently respawn into chat. Fixes #73609. Thanks @joerod26.</li>
+<li>Outbound/security: strip known internal runtime scaffolding such as <code><system-reminder></code> and <code><previous_response></code> at the final channel delivery boundary and keep Discord output on targeted tag stripping, so degraded harness replies cannot leak those tags to users. Fixes #73595. Thanks @gabrielexito-stack and @martingarramon.</li>
+<li>Security/Telegram: load Telegram security adapters in read-only audit/doctor, audit malformed Telegram DM <code>allowFrom</code> entries even when groups are disabled, and keep allowlist DM audits from counting stale pairing-store senders, so public/shared-DM risk checks stay accurate. Refs #73698. Thanks @xace1825.</li>
+<li>Plugins: remove hidden manifest, provider-owner, bootstrap, and channel metadata caches so plugin installs, manifest edits, and bundled-root changes are visible on the next metadata read while keeping runtime/module loader caches for actual plugin code. Thanks @shakkernerd.</li>
+<li>CLI/plugins: use plugin metadata snapshots for install slot selection and add opt-in plugin lifecycle timing traces, so plugin install avoids runtime-loading the plugin registry for metadata-only decisions. Thanks @shakkernerd.</li>
+<li>fix(plugins): restrict bundled plugin dir resolution to trusted package roots. (#73275) Thanks @pgondhi987.</li>
+<li>fix(security): prevent workspace PATH injection via service env and trash helpers. (#73264) Thanks @pgondhi987.</li>
+<li>Active Memory: allow <code>allowedChatTypes</code> to include explicit portal/webchat sessions and classify <code>agent:...:explicit:...</code> session keys before opaque session ids can shadow the chat type. Fixes #65775. (#66285) Thanks @Lidang-Jiang.</li>
+<li>Active Memory: allow the hidden recall sub-agent to use both <code>memory_recall</code> and the legacy <code>memory_search</code>/<code>memory_get</code> memory tool contract, so bundled <code>memory-lancedb</code> recall works without breaking the default <code>memory-core</code> path. Fixes #73502. (#73584) Thanks @Takhoffman.</li>
+<li>fix(device-pairing): validate callerScopes against resolved token scopes on repair [AI]. (#72925) Thanks @pgondhi987.</li>
+<li>Active Memory docs: document the <code>cacheTtlMs</code> 1000-120000 ms range and 15000 ms default so setup snippets do not lead users past the schema limit. Fixes #65708. (#65737) Thanks @WuKongAI-CMU.</li>
+<li>fix(agents): canonicalize provider aliases in byProvider tool policy lookup [AI]. (#72917) Thanks @pgondhi987.</li>
+<li>fix(security): block npm_execpath injection from workspace .env [AI-assisted]. (#73262) Thanks @pgondhi987.</li>
+<li>Tools/web_fetch: decode response bodies from raw bytes using declared HTTP, XML, or HTML meta charsets before extraction, so Shift_JIS and other legacy-charset pages no longer return mojibake. Fixes #72916. Thanks @amknight.</li>
+<li>Active Memory: skip payload-less <code>memory_search</code> transcript tool results when building debug telemetry, so newer empty entries no longer hide the latest useful debug payload. (#68773) Thanks @SimbaKingjoe.</li>
+<li>Active Memory: keep recall setup time from consuming the configured model timeout while giving the hook runner an explicit bounded budget for the plugin, so slow embedded-run setup no longer causes immediate recall timeouts. Fixes #72606. (#72620) Thanks @hyspacex.</li>
+<li>Channels/Discord: bound message read/search REST calls, route those actions through Gateway execution, and fall back to <code>CommandTargetSessionKey</code> for inbound hook session keys so Discord reads do not hang and hooks still fire when <code>SessionKey</code> is empty. Fixes #73431. (#73521) Thanks @amknight.</li>
+<li>Plugins/media: auto-enable provider plugins referenced by <code>agents.defaults.imageGenerationModel</code>, <code>videoGenerationModel</code>, and <code>musicGenerationModel</code> primary/fallback refs, so configured Google and MiniMax media providers do not stay disabled behind a restrictive plugin allowlist. Thanks @vincentkoc.</li>
+<li>Memory-core/dreaming: retry managed dreaming cron registration after startup when the cron service is not reachable yet, so the scheduled Memory Dreaming Promotion sweep recovers without waiting for heartbeat traffic. Fixes #72841. Thanks @amknight.</li>
+<li>Acpx/runtime: validate the runtime session mode at the <code>AcpxRuntime.ensureSession</code> wrapper boundary so callers that pass anything other than <code>persistent</code> or <code>oneshot</code> get a clear <code>ACP_INVALID_RUNTIME_OPTION</code> error instead of silently round-tripping through the encoded handle as a default <code>persistent</code> mode and later throwing <code>SessionResumeRequiredError</code>. Investigation context: #73071. (#73548) Thanks @amknight.</li>
+<li>CLI/infer: keep web-search fallback on missing provider API keys, preserve structured validation errors from the selected provider, and let per-request image describe prompts override configured media-entry prompts. (#63263) Thanks @Spolen23.</li>
+<li>Chat commands: include configured model-catalog reasoning metadata when building <code>/think</code> argument menus so Ollama Cloud and other provider-owned reasoning models show supported levels instead of only <code>off</code>. Fixes #73515; supersedes #73568. Thanks @danielzinhu99 and @neeravmakwana.</li>
+<li>Channels/Telegram: suppress generic tool-progress chatter when preview streaming is off, so non-streaming Telegram turns only deliver final replies while approvals, media, and errors still route normally. Refs #72363 and #72482. Thanks @neeravmakwana and @SweetSophia.</li>
+<li>CLI/model probes: add repeatable image <code>--file</code> inputs to <code>infer model run</code> for local and gateway multimodal model smokes, so vision models such as Ollama Qwen VL and Gemini can be tested through the raw model-probe surface. Fixes #63700. Thanks @cedricjanssens.</li>
+<li>CLI/model probes: request trusted operator scope for <code>infer model run --gateway --model <provider/model></code> so Gateway raw model smokes can use one-off provider/model overrides instead of being rejected before provider auth resolution. Fixes #73759. Thanks @chrislro.</li>
+<li>CLI/image describe: pass <code>--prompt</code> and <code>--timeout-ms</code> through <code>infer image describe</code> and <code>describe-many</code>, so custom vision instructions and slow local model budgets reach media-understanding providers such as Ollama, OpenAI, Google, and OpenRouter. Refs #63700. Thanks @cedricjanssens.</li>
+<li>Model selection: include the rejected provider/model ref and allowlist recovery hint when a stored session override is cleared, so local model selections such as Gemma GGUF variants do not fall back to the default with a generic message. Refs #71069. Thanks @CyberRaccoonTeam.</li>
+<li>OpenAI-compatible providers: drop malformed event-only or blank-data SSE frames before the OpenAI SDK stream parser sees them, so proxies that split <code>event:</code> from <code>data:</code> no longer crash streaming runs with <code>Unexpected end of JSON input</code>. Fixes #52802. Thanks @LyHug.</li>
+<li>Gateway/OpenAI-compatible streaming: strip <code><final></code> tags split across streamed model deltas before they reach SSE clients, so <code>/v1/chat/completions</code> no longer emits tag remnants or drops content when final-answer wrappers cross chunk boundaries. Fixes #63325. Thanks @tzwickl.</li>
+<li>Ollama: resolve explicitly selected signed-in <code>:cloud</code> models through <code>/api/show</code> when <code>/api/tags</code> omits them, so working models such as <code>gemini-3-flash-preview:cloud</code> and <code>deepseek-v4-pro:cloud</code> do not fail dynamic model resolution before the native <code>/api/chat</code> transport runs. Fixes #73909. Thanks @chtse53.</li>
+<li>Discord/exec approvals: keep the local <code>/approve</code> prompt when no native Discord approval runtime is active, and send a manual fallback notice when native approval delivery reaches no targets, so failed DM cards no longer leave approval turns silent or dependent on model-written shell commands. Fixes #73954; carries forward #74027. Thanks @guarismo and @brokemac79.</li>
+<li>Local model prompt caching: keep stable Project Context above volatile channel/session prompt guidance and stop embedding current channel names in the message tool description, so Ollama, MLX, llama.cpp, and other prefix-cache backends avoid avoidable full prompt reprocessing across channel turns. Fixes #40256; supersedes #40296. Thanks @rhclaw and @sriram369.</li>
+<li>Gateway/OpenAI-compatible API: guard provider policy lookup against runtime providers with non-array <code>models</code> values, so <code>/v1/chat/completions</code> no longer fails with <code>provider?.models?.some is not a function</code>. Fixes #66744; carries forward #66761. Thanks @MightyMoud, @MukundaKatta.</li>
+<li>WhatsApp/Web: pass explicit Baileys socket timings into every WhatsApp Web socket and expose <code>web.whatsapp.*</code> keepalive, connect, and query timeout settings so unstable networks can avoid repeated 408 disconnect and opening-handshake timeout loops. Fixes #56365. (#73580) Thanks @velvet-shark.</li>
+<li>WhatsApp/Web: recover recently active listeners when a post-408 reconnect keeps receiving transport frames but stops delivering app messages, while keeping group metadata fallback off Baileys sends. Fixes #63855 and #66920; refs #7433, #67986, #70856, #60007, and #72621. Thanks @legonhilltech-jpg, @octopuslabs-fl, @Kanorin-chan, and @stuswan.</li>
+<li>Channels/Telegram: persist native command metadata on target sessions so topic, helper, and ACP-bound slash commands keep their session metadata attached to the routed conversation. (#57548) Thanks @GaosCode.</li>
+<li>Channels/native commands: keep validated native slash command replies visible in group chats while preserving explicit owner allowlists for command authorization. (#73672) Thanks @obviyus.</li>
+<li>Pairing/doctor: bootstrap <code>commands.ownerAllowFrom</code> from the first approved DM pairing when no command owner exists, and have doctor explain missing owners so privileged slash commands are not accidentally unusable after onboarding. Thanks @pashpashpash.</li>
+<li>Telegram/exec: infer native exec approvers from <code>commands.ownerAllowFrom</code> and auto-enable the Telegram approval client when an owner is resolvable, so owner-only commands such as <code>/diagnostics</code> can be approved in Telegram without duplicate per-channel approver config. Thanks @pashpashpash.</li>
+<li>Auto-reply/session: carry the tail of user/assistant turns into the freshly-rotated transcript on silent in-reply session resets (compaction failure, role-ordering conflict) so direct-chat continuity survives the rebind. Fixes #70853. (#70898) Thanks @neeravmakwana.</li>
+<li>Skills: load grouped skill directories such as <code>skills/<group>/<skill>/SKILL.md</code> from configured skill roots while keeping grouped discovery capped for large directories. Fixes #56915. (#72534) Thanks @ottodeng, @MoerAI, and @i010542.</li>
+<li>Config: skip malformed non-string <code>env.vars</code> entries before env-reference checks, so config loading no longer crashes on JSON values like numbers or booleans. (#42402) Thanks @MiltonHeYan.</li>
+<li>Docker Compose: default missing config and workspace bind mounts to <code>${HOME:-/tmp}/.openclaw</code> so manual compose runs do not create invalid empty-source volume specs. (#64485) Thanks @jlapenna.</li>
+<li>Agents/context engines: preserve the child agent's configured <code>agentDir</code> when subagent cleanup re-resolves a context engine, so <code>onSubagentEnded</code> hooks keep operating on the correct per-agent state. (#67243) Thanks @jarimustonen.</li>
+<li>Channels/WhatsApp: restrict pairing verification replies to real inbound user content, preventing unsolicited prompts from receipts, typing indicators, presence updates, and other non-message Baileys upserts. Fixes #73797. (#73823) Thanks @hclsys.</li>
+<li>Configure/Ollama: show the configured Ollama model allowlist after Cloud only or Cloud + Local setup and skip slow per-model cloud metadata fetches. (#73995) Thanks @obviyus.</li>
+<li>Channels/WhatsApp: detect explicit group <code>@mentions</code> again when the bot's own E.164 is in <code>allowFrom</code>, so shared-number setups no longer skip group pings that directly mention the bot. Fixes #49317. (#73453) Thanks @juan-flores077.</li>
+<li>WhatsApp/reliability: publish real transport-liveness into WhatsApp channel status and force earlier reconnects on silent transport stalls, so quiet healthy sessions stay connected while wedged sockets recover before the later remote 408 path. (#72656) Thanks @Sathvik-1007.</li>
+<li>Core/channels: tighten selected runtime, media, and plugin edge-case handling while preserving existing behavior. Thanks @jesse-merhi.</li>
+<li>Channels/WhatsApp: strip leaked plural tool-call XML wrappers on every WhatsApp-visible outbound path and keep channel error payloads out of WhatsApp chats. (#71830) Thanks @rubencu.</li>
+<li>Agents/embedded-runner: inject the resolved OAuth bearer (and forward the run abort signal) on the boundary-aware embedded stream fallback so models that route through <code>openai-codex-responses</code> and other boundary-aware transports stop failing with <code>401 Unauthorized: Missing bearer or basic authentication in header</code>. Fixes #73559. (#73588) Thanks @openperf.</li>
+<li>Telegram/gateway: bound outbound Bot API calls and cache bundled plugin alias lookup so slow Telegram sends or WSL2 filesystem scans no longer wedge gateway replies. (#74210) Thanks @obviyus.</li>
+<li>Configure/GitHub Copilot: reuse existing Copilot auth during configure and show the provider's manifest model catalog in the model picker. (#74276) Thanks @obviyus.</li>
+<li>Configure/models: keep the model picker scoped to the selected manifest provider and enable its bundled plugin before catalog lookup, so choosing GitHub Copilot no longer falls back to Ollama or skips the catalog. (#74322) Thanks @obviyus.</li>
+<li>Auto-reply/subagents: reject <code>/focus</code> from leaf subagents and scope fallback target resolution to the requesting subagent's children, so subagents cannot bind conversations outside their control boundary. (#73613) Thanks @drobison00.</li>
+<li>Gateway/startup: skip inherited workspace startup memory for sandboxed spawned sessions without real-workspace write access, so <code>/new</code> no longer preloads host workspace memory into isolated child runs. (#73611) Thanks @drobison00.</li>
+<li>Agents/tool policy: validate caller group IDs against session or spawned context before applying group-scoped tool policies or persisting gateway group metadata, so forged group IDs cannot unlock more permissive tools. (#73720) Thanks @mmaps.</li>
+<li>Commands: keep channel-prefixed owner allowlist entries scoped to matching providers so webchat command contexts cannot inherit external channel owners. Thanks @zsxsoft.</li>
+<li>Auth/device pairing: bound bootstrap handoff token issuance, redemption, and approved pairing baselines to the documented per-role scope allowlist, so bootstrap approvals cannot persistently grant <code>operator.admin</code>, <code>operator.pairing</code>, or <code>node.exec</code> scopes. Thanks @eleqtrizit.</li>
+<li>Providers/GitHub Copilot: support the GUI/RPC wizard device-code auth flow so onboarding from non-TTY clients (gateway RPC bridge, GUI wizards) completes instead of returning empty profiles. Dangerous-state handling now distinguishes <code>access_denied</code> and <code>expired_token</code> from transport errors. (#73290) Thanks @indierawk2k2.</li>
+<li>Installer/Linux: warn before switching an unwritable npm global prefix to <code>~/.npm-global</code>, then tell users to run future global updates with <code>npm i -g openclaw@latest</code> without <code>sudo</code> so npm keeps using the redirected user prefix. Fixes #44365; carries forward #50479. Thanks @Sayeem3051.</li>
+<li>Gateway/plugins: enable the native <code>require()</code> fast path on Windows for bundled plugin modules so plugin loading uses <code>require()</code> instead of Jiti's transform pipeline, reducing startup from ~39s to ~2s on typical 6-plugin setups. Fixes #68656. (#74173) Thanks @galiniliev.</li>
+<li>macOS app: detect stale Gateway TLS certificate pins, automatically repair trusted Tailscale Serve rotations, and surface paired-but-disconnected Mac companion nodes so partial Gateway connections no longer look healthy. Thanks @guti.</li>

-</ul>
-<h3>Changes</h3>
-<ul>
-<li>TTS/WhatsApp: add <code>/tts latest</code> read-aloud support with duplicate suppression and <code>/tts chat on|off|default</code> session-scoped auto-TTS overrides, completing the on-demand voice-note UX for current-chat replies. Fixes #66032.</li>
-<li>TTS/channels: resolve channel and account TTS overrides generically, enabling Feishu and QQBot accounts to deep-merge <code>channels.<channel>.accounts.<id>.tts</code> over global and per-agent TTS config. Thanks @sahilsatralkar.</li>
-<li>TTS/agents: allow <code>agents.list[].tts</code> to override global <code>messages.tts</code> for per-agent voices, and make <code>/tts audio</code>, <code>/tts status</code>, and the <code>tts</code> agent tool honor the active voice/provider override while keeping shared provider credentials and preferences in the existing TTS config surface.</li>
-<li>Providers/Azure Speech: add Azure Speech as a bundled TTS provider with Speech-resource auth, voice listing, SSML escaping, native Ogg/Opus voice-note output, and telephony output. (#51776) Thanks @leonchui.</li>

-<li>CLI/Crestodian/TUI: add the first-run setup helper, local planner fallback, full-TUI interactive Crestodian, startup progress indicators, context mode selector, and a shorter startup greeting. (#71720, #71760) Thanks @SebTardif and @kevinlin-openai.</li>
-<li>Plugins: migrate the local plugin registry automatically during package install/update, keeping install metadata in the plugin index while indexing existing plugin manifests for the new cold registry path. Thanks @vincentkoc and @shakkernerd.</li>
-<li>Plugins/doctor: make <code>openclaw doctor --fix</code> refresh the plugin index and cold registry index when needed without treating plugin install records as authored config. Thanks @vincentkoc and @shakkernerd.</li>
-<li>Plugins/hooks: add before-agent-finalize hooks, cron <code>jobId</code> hook context, bounded native permission fingerprints, and Codex MCP hook relay support. (#71765, #71758, #71707) Thanks @vincentkoc and @pashpashpash.</li>
-<li>Plugins/tokenjuice: bump the bundled tokenjuice runtime to 0.6.3. Thanks @vincentkoc.</li>
-<li>Diagnostics/OTEL: align model-call GenAI span attributes with OpenTelemetry stability opt-in semantics, keeping legacy <code>gen_ai.system</code> by default while emitting <code>gen_ai.provider.name</code> under <code>OTEL_SEMCONV_STABILITY_OPT_IN=gen_ai_latest_experimental</code>. Thanks @vincentkoc.</li>
-<li>Diagnostics/OTEL: support signal-specific OTLP endpoint overrides for traces, metrics, and logs via config or standard OTEL environment variables. Thanks @vincentkoc.</li>
-<li>Diagnostics/OTEL: emit bounded telemetry exporter health diagnostics for startup and log-export failures without exporting raw error text. Thanks @vincentkoc.</li>
-<li>Diagnostics/OTEL: export agent harness lifecycle telemetry as bounded <code>openclaw.harness.run</code> spans and <code>openclaw.harness.duration_ms</code> metrics so QA-lab, Codex, and future harnesses share one trace shape. Thanks @vincentkoc.</li>
-<li>Diagnostics/trace: propagate W3C <code>traceparent</code> headers from trusted model-call trace context to provider transports while replacing caller-supplied traceparent values. Thanks @vincentkoc.</li>
-<li>Diagnostics/Prometheus: add a bundled <code>diagnostics-prometheus</code> plugin with a protected gateway scrape route for low-cardinality diagnostics metrics. Thanks @vincentkoc.</li>
-<li>Plugins/CLI: add <code>openclaw plugins registry</code> for explicit persisted-registry inspection and <code>--refresh</code> repair without making normal startup rescan plugin locations. Thanks @vincentkoc.</li>
-<li>Plugins/CLI: make <code>openclaw plugins list</code> read the cold persisted registry snapshot by default, leaving module-aware diagnostics to <code>plugins doctor</code> and <code>plugins inspect</code>. Thanks @vincentkoc.</li>
-<li>Plugins/startup: move gateway startup plugin planning onto the versioned cold registry index, with postinstall repair for older registry files that predate startup metadata. Thanks @vincentkoc.</li>
-<li>Plugins/startup: normalize startup and provider plugin enablement through registry aliases so boot paths do not need the legacy manifest alias scan. Thanks @vincentkoc.</li>
-<li>Providers/plugins: resolve provider ownership, provider discovery scopes, and catalog-hook provider ids from the cold plugin registry instead of rescanning manifests on those paths. Thanks @vincentkoc.</li>
-<li>Plugins/registry: keep installed plugin index records focused on install/state/load paths and resolve plugin capabilities from manifests scoped to indexed plugins. Thanks @shakkernerd.</li>
-<li>Plugins/registry: route cold manifest and capability lookups through the installed plugin index so setup, channels, config, secrets, doctor, and provider metadata paths avoid broad plugin-root scans before runtime execution. Thanks @shakkernerd.</li>
-<li>CLI/models: speed up <code>models list --all --provider <id></code> for static manifest-backed providers by loading catalog rows through the installed plugin index instead of broad manifest scans or runtime suppression hooks. Thanks @shakkernerd.</li>
-<li>CLI/models: use OpenClaw Provider Index preview rows as the final cold fallback for installable providers, while keeping user config, installed manifests, and refreshed cache rows above provider-index metadata. Thanks @vincentkoc.</li>
-<li>Providers/plugins: keep onboarding and auth-choice setup lists on cold manifest/install metadata and add Provider Index install metadata for not-yet-installed provider plugins. Thanks @vincentkoc.</li>
-<li>Providers/plugins: keep provider setup guidance and configure auth imports on cold manifest metadata, with a regression guard against static provider-runtime imports on setup/configure list paths. Thanks @vincentkoc.</li>
-<li>CLI/capabilities: keep capability command registration from importing the models auth runtime until <code>model auth login</code> actually runs. Thanks @vincentkoc.</li>
-<li>CLI/configure: keep web-search configure prompts on cold plugin registry metadata until the user chooses managed search setup. Thanks @vincentkoc.</li>
-<li>Plugins/chat commands: refresh the persisted plugin registry after <code>/plugins enable</code> and <code>/plugins disable</code>, matching the CLI mutation path. Thanks @vincentkoc.</li>
-<li>Plugins/compat: mark <code>OPENCLAW_DISABLE_PERSISTED_PLUGIN_REGISTRY</code> as a deprecated break-glass switch and point operators at registry repair instead. Thanks @vincentkoc.</li>
-<li>Plugins/compat: expand the central compatibility registry with dated owners, replacements, and maximum three-month removal targets for legacy SDK, manifest, setup, registry-migration, and agent-runtime surfaces. Thanks @vincentkoc.</li>
-<li>Plugins/registry: ignore stale persisted registry reads when plugin policy no longer matches current config, and stamp generated registry files with a do-not-edit warning. Thanks @vincentkoc.</li>
-<li>Config/plugins: keep plugin command-alias validation on cold manifest metadata instead of importing the runtime alias resolver. Thanks @vincentkoc.</li>
-<li>Security/plugins: keep web-search credential presence checks on cold config, env, and manifest metadata instead of importing web-search provider runtime. Thanks @vincentkoc.</li>
-<li>Diagnostics/OTEL: surface provider request identifiers as bounded hashes on model-call diagnostics and span events, without exporting raw request IDs or metric labels. Thanks @Lidang-Jiang and @vincentkoc.</li>
-<li>Plugins/diagnostics: add metadata-only <code>model_call_started</code> and <code>model_call_ended</code> hooks for provider/model call telemetry without exposing prompts, responses, headers, request bodies, or raw provider request IDs. Thanks @vincentkoc.</li>
-<li>Diagnostics/OTEL: emit bounded context assembly diagnostics and export <code>openclaw.context.assembled</code> spans with prompt/history sizes but no prompt, history, response, or session-key content. Thanks @vincentkoc.</li>
-<li>Diagnostics/OTEL: export existing tool-loop diagnostics as <code>openclaw.tool.loop</code> counters and spans without loop messages, session identifiers, params, or tool output. Thanks @vincentkoc.</li>
-<li>Diagnostics/OTEL: export diagnostic memory samples and pressure as bounded memory histograms, counters, and pressure spans to help spot leak regressions without session or payload data. Thanks @vincentkoc.</li>
-<li>Diagnostics/OTEL: add the GenAI <code>gen_ai.client.token.usage</code> histogram for input/output model usage while keeping session identifiers and aggregate cache counters out of the semantic metric. Thanks @vincentkoc.</li>
-<li>Diagnostics/OTEL: add a bounded <code>openclaw.agent</code> label to OpenClaw token metrics so per-agent Grafana dashboards can group usage without exporting session identifiers. Thanks @oc-factus.</li>
-<li>Plugins/install: consolidate managed plugin install metadata into the state-managed plugin index at <code>plugins/installs.json</code>, replacing the temporary <code>plugins/installed-index.json</code> path and removing <code>plugins.installs</code> as an authored config surface. Thanks @vincentkoc and @shakkernerd.</li>
-<li>Diagnostics/OTEL: add the GenAI <code>gen_ai.client.operation.duration</code> histogram for model-call latency in seconds with bounded provider/model/API and error attributes. Thanks @vincentkoc.</li>
-<li>Diagnostics/OTEL: add GenAI usage token attributes to model-usage spans, including cache read/write input token counts without session identifiers or prompt/response content. Thanks @vincentkoc.</li>
-<li>Diagnostics/OTEL: include bounded GenAI operation, provider, and request-model attributes on model-usage spans so token usage remains self-describing without diagnostic identifiers. Thanks @vincentkoc.</li>
-<li>Diagnostics/OTEL: keep model-usage span GenAI provider attributes aligned with the existing semantic-convention opt-in policy, using legacy <code>gen_ai.system</code> unless latest experimental GenAI conventions are enabled. Thanks @vincentkoc.</li>
-<li>Diagnostics/OTEL: keep <code>gen_ai.request.model</code> present on GenAI token usage metrics with a bounded <code>unknown</code> fallback when model usage events do not include a model. Thanks @vincentkoc.</li>
-<li>Docs/OTEL: document the GenAI token and model-call duration metrics, model-usage span attributes, and <code>OTEL_SEMCONV_STABILITY_OPT_IN=gen_ai_latest_experimental</code> provider-attribute behavior. Thanks @vincentkoc.</li>
-<li>Docs: refresh the MCP, model provider, doctor, troubleshooting, BlueBubbles, media generation, TTS, subagents, skills, cron/tasks, exec approvals, and voice-call guides with structured Steps, Tabs, and Accordion content.</li>
-<li>Diagnostics/trace: add an internal traceparent propagation helper that only formats trusted dispatcher metadata, keeping plugin-emitted diagnostic traces out of outbound propagation by default. Thanks @vincentkoc.</li>
-<li>Diagnostics/OTEL: add bounded outbound message delivery lifecycle diagnostics and export them as low-cardinality delivery spans/metrics without message body, recipient, room, or media-path data. (#71471) Thanks @vincentkoc and @jlapenna.</li>
-<li>Diagnostics/OTEL: emit bounded exec-process diagnostics and export them as <code>openclaw.exec</code> spans without exposing command text, working directories, or container identifiers. (#71451) Thanks @vincentkoc and @jlapenna.</li>
-<li>Diagnostics/OTEL: support <code>OPENCLAW_OTEL_PRELOADED=1</code> so the plugin can reuse an already-registered OpenTelemetry SDK while keeping OpenClaw diagnostic listeners wired. (#71450) Thanks @vincentkoc and @jlapenna.</li>
-<li>Providers/Xiaomi: add MiMo TTS as a bundled speech provider with MP3/WAV output and voice-note Opus transcoding. Fixes #52376. (#55614) Thanks @zoujiejun.</li>
-<li>Providers/ElevenLabs: include <code>eleven_v3</code> in the bundled TTS model catalog so model selection surfaces can offer ElevenLabs v3. (#68321) Thanks @itsuzef.</li>
-<li>Providers/Local CLI TTS: add a bundled local command speech provider with file/stdout input, voice-note Opus conversion, and telephony PCM output. (#56239) Thanks @solar2ain.</li>
-<li>Providers/Inworld: add Inworld as a bundled speech provider with streaming TTS synthesis, voice listing, voice-note output, and PCM telephony output. (#55972) Thanks @cshape.</li>
-<li>Providers/Volcengine: add Volcengine/BytePlus Seed Speech as a bundled TTS provider with API-key auth, native Ogg/Opus voice-note output, and MP3 audio-file output. (#55641) Thanks @xuruiray.</li>
-<li>Android/Talk Mode: expose Talk Mode in the Voice tab with runtime-owned voice capture modes and microphone foreground-service escalation. Thanks @alex-latitude.</li>
-<li>Providers/LiteLLM: register <code>litellm</code> as an image-generation provider so <code>image_generate model=litellm/...</code> calls and <code>agents.defaults.imageGenerationModel.fallbacks</code> entries resolve through the LiteLLM proxy. Thanks @zqchris.</li>
-<li>Providers/fal: add Seedance 2.0 reference-to-video models with multi-image, video, and audio reference input mapping plus model-specific capability limits for <code>video_generate</code>. Thanks @shivanker.</li>
-<li>Codex harness: require Codex app-server <code>0.125.0</code> or newer and cover native MCP <code>PreToolUse</code>, <code>PostToolUse</code>, and <code>PermissionRequest</code> payloads through the OpenClaw hook relay.</li>
-<li>Agents/Codex: teach prompts and <code>agents_list</code> to surface native Codex app-server availability so agents prefer <code>/codex ...</code> over Codex ACP unless ACP/acpx is explicit. Thanks @vincentkoc.</li>
-<li>ACPX/Droid: add Factory Droid to the live ACP bind Docker matrix, including <code>.factory</code> settings staging, <code>FACTORY_API_KEY</code> forwarding, and the single-agent <code>test:docker:live-acp-bind:droid</code> recipe.</li>
-<li>TTS/personas: add provider-aware TTS personas with deterministic provider binding merges, <code>/tts persona</code> controls, gateway/CLI persona state, Google Gemini <code>audio-profile-v1</code> prompt wrapping, and OpenAI instruction mapping. (#70748) Thanks @barronlroth.</li>
-<li>Voice Wake: add trigger-based routing so macOS voice wake phrases can select a configured agent or session target, with Gateway routing APIs and node update events. (#30354) Thanks @longbiaochen.</li>
-</ul>
-<h3>Fixes</h3>
-<ul>
-<li>Auto-reply: poison inbound message dedupe after replay-unsafe provider/runtime failures so retries stay safe before visible progress but cannot duplicate messages after block output, tool side effects, or session progress. Fixes #69303; keeps #58549 and #64606 as duplicate validation. Thanks @martingarramon, @NikolaFC, and @zeroth-blip.</li>
-<li>Logging/sessions: apply configured redaction patterns to persisted session transcript text and accept escaped character classes in safe custom redaction regexes, so transcript JSONL no longer keeps matching sensitive text in the clear. Fixes #42982. Thanks @panpan0000.</li>
-<li>Agents/OpenAI: keep Responses web search compatible with minimal thinking by raising <code>web_search</code> requests to the lowest supported reasoning effort instead of sending a rejected minimal payload.</li>
-<li>Agents/tools: honor the <code>bundle-mcp</code> allowlist token when deciding whether bundled MCP tools are available, so restricted tool policies can still enable bundled MCP without exposing unrelated tools.</li>
-<li>Agents/model fallback: jump directly to a known later live-session model redirect instead of walking unrelated fallback candidates, while preserving the already-landed live-session/fallback loop guard. Fixes #57471; related loop family already closed via #58496. Thanks @yuxiaoyang2007-prog.</li>
-<li>Skills/memory: restore Chokidar v5 hot reloads by watching concrete skill and memory roots with filters, including SKILL.md removals and deleted skill folders without broad workspace recursion. Fixes #27404, #33585, and #41606. Thanks @shelvenzhou, @08820048, and @rocke2020.</li>
-<li>Discord/gateway: count failed health-monitor restart attempts toward cooldown and hourly caps, and evict stale account lifecycle state during channel reloads so repeated Discord gateway recovery cannot loop on old status. Fixes #38596. (#40413) Thanks @jellyAI-dev and @vashquez.</li>
-<li>Plugins/CLI: let flag-driven <code>openclaw channels add</code> install the selected channel plugin from its default source without opening an interactive prompt, fixing published npm Telegram setup in stdin-closed automation.</li>
-<li>Plugins/startup: load the default <code>memory-core</code> slot during Gateway startup when permitted so active-memory recall can call <code>memory_search</code> and <code>memory_get</code> without requiring an explicit <code>plugins.slots.memory</code> entry, while preserving <code>plugins.slots.memory: "none"</code>.</li>
-<li>Plugins/install: materialize plugin-owned root chunks in external bundled-runtime mirrors so staged plugin dependencies resolve under native ESM in packaged installs. Fixes #72058; supersedes #72084. Thanks @amnesia106 and @drvoss.</li>
-<li>Plugins/CLI: prefer native require for compiled bundled plugin JavaScript before jiti so read-only config, status, device, and node commands avoid unnecessary transform overhead on slow hosts. Fixes #62842. Thanks @Effet.</li>
-<li>Plugins/compat: inventory doctor-side deprecation migrations separately from runtime plugin compatibility so release sweeps preserve needed repairs while enforcing dated removal windows. Thanks @vincentkoc.</li>
-<li>Plugins/compat: add missing dated compatibility records for legacy extension-api, memory registration, provider hook/type aliases, runtime aliases, channel SDK helpers, and approval/test utility shims. Thanks @vincentkoc.</li>
-<li>Plugins/CLI: refresh the persisted registry after managed plugin files are removed so ClawHub uninstall cannot leave stale <code>plugins list</code> entries.</li>
-<li>Plugins/CLI: make plugin install and uninstall config writes conflict-aware, clear stale denylist entries on explicit reinstall/removal, and delete managed plugin files only after config/index commit succeeds.</li>
-<li>Plugins: fail <code>plugins update</code> when tracked plugin or hook updates error, keep bundled runtime-dependency repair behind restrictive allowlists, and reject package installs with unloadable extension entries.</li>
-<li>Gateway/chat: keep duplicate attachment-backed <code>chat.send</code> retries with the same idempotency key on the documented in-flight path so aborts still target the real active run. Fixes #70139. Thanks @Feelw00.</li>
-<li>Plugins: share package entrypoint resolution between install and discovery, reject mismatched <code>runtimeExtensions</code>, and cache bundled runtime-dependency manifest reads during scans.</li>
-<li>WhatsApp/Web: keep quiet but healthy linked-device sessions connected by basing the watchdog on WhatsApp Web transport activity, while retaining a longer app-silence cap so frame activity cannot mask a stuck session forever. Fixes #70678; carries forward the focused #71466 approach and keeps #63939 as related configurable-timeout follow-up. Thanks @vincentkoc and @oromeis.</li>
-<li>Onboarding/setup: keep first-run config reads, plugin compatibility notices, and post-model sanity checks on cold metadata paths unless the user chooses to browse all models, avoiding full plugin/runtime catalog work between prompts. Thanks @shakkernerd.</li>
-<li>Onboarding/auth: run manifest-owned provider auth choices through scoped setup providers so selecting OpenAI Codex browser/device auth no longer loads every provider runtime before OAuth starts. Thanks @shakkernerd.</li>
-<li>Onboarding/auth: keep the post-auth default-model policy lookup on manifest/setup metadata so the next prompt appears without loading broad provider runtime. Thanks @shakkernerd.</li>
-<li>Onboarding/models: keep skip-auth and provider-scoped model picker prompts off the full global model catalog path, and cache provider catalog hook resolution so setup no longer stalls after auth on large plugin registries. Thanks @shakkernerd.</li>
-<li>Gateway/Bonjour: suppress known @homebridge/ciao cancellation and network assertion failures through scoped process handlers so malformed mDNS packets or restricted VPS networking disable/restart Bonjour instead of crashing the gateway. Fixes #67578. Thanks @zenassist26-create.</li>
-<li>Discord: keep late clicks on already-resolved exec approval buttons quiet when elevated mode auto-resolved the request, while still surfacing real approval submission failures. Fixes #66906. Thanks @rlerikse.</li>
-<li>Agents/subagents: deliver completed yielded-subagent results back to no-thread requester routes via direct fallback when the dormant parent announce turn produces no visible reply, and add QA-lab coverage for the regression. Thanks @vincentkoc.</li>
-<li>Gateway/Tailscale: let Tailscale-authenticated Control UI operator sessions with browser device identity skip the device-pairing round trip while still rejecting device-less and node-role connections. Refs #71986. Thanks @jokedul.</li>
-<li>Doctor: honor <code>OPENCLAW_SERVICE_REPAIR_POLICY=external</code> by reporting gateway service health while skipping service install/start/restart/bootstrap, supervisor rewrites, and legacy service cleanup for externally managed environments. Thanks @shakkernerd.</li>
-<li>CLI/update: run package post-update doctor with <code>--fix</code> so package updates repair config migrations before restart. Thanks @shakkernerd.</li>
-<li>CLI/update: retry failed npm global updates with <code>--omit=optional</code> and ignore the superseded first failure when the fallback succeeds. Thanks @shakkernerd.</li>
-<li>Plugins/uninstall: migrate and reset <code>plugins.slots.contextEngine</code> alongside memory slots when plugin ids change or selected plugins are removed. Thanks @shakkernerd.</li>
-<li>Agents/Discord: keep raw <code>Agent failed before reply</code> runner failures out of Discord group/channel chats and show detailed runner errors in direct chats only when <code>/verbose</code> is enabled.</li>
-<li>UI/Windows: quote resolved pnpm <code>.cmd</code> launcher paths before spawning UI install/build/test commands so Node installs under <code>C:\Program Files</code> no longer fail as <code>C:\Program</code>. Fixes #45275. Thanks @Kobevictor, @stoppieboy, and @iubns.</li>
-<li>Codex/agent: translate <code>--thinking minimal</code> to <code>low</code> for modern Codex models (gpt-5.5, gpt-5.4, gpt-5.4-mini, gpt-5.2) at request build time so the first turn is accepted instead of paying a wasted call + retry-with-low fallback. Older Codex models still receive <code>minimal</code> directly. Fixes #71946. Thanks @hclsys.</li>
-<li>Plugins/uninstall: remove tracked plugin files from their recorded managed extensions root even when the current state directory points somewhere else, so <code>openclaw plugins uninstall --force</code> does not leave the plugin discoverable. Thanks @shakkernerd.</li>
-<li>Agents/runtime: add <code>agentRuntime.id</code> as the canonical config key, migrate legacy runtime-policy configs with <code>openclaw doctor --fix</code>, route canonical Anthropic models through <code>claude-cli</code> without passing CLI backend aliases to embedded harness selection, and load CLI backend owner plugins before channel startup. Fixes #71957. Thanks @WolvenRA.</li>
-<li>CLI/update: guard Windows scheduled-task stops by state and timeout so auto-update restart cannot hang indefinitely on <code>schtasks /End</code> before stale-listener cleanup. Fixes #69970. Thanks @yangswld and @sherlock-huang.</li>
-<li>Windows install/Lobster: execute <code>pnpm.exe</code> directly when <code>npm_execpath</code> points at the native pnpm binary, add an installed-package fallback for the Lobster embedded runtime, and include the Lobster runner regression test in Windows CI. Fixes #69456. Thanks @igormf.</li>
-<li>Gateway/install: refresh loaded gateway service installs when the current service embeds stale gateway auth instead of returning already-installed, avoiding LaunchAgent token-mismatch loops after token rotation. Fixes #70752. Thanks @hyspacex.</li>
-<li>Update: ignore bundled plugin <code>.openclaw-install-stage</code> directories during global install verification and packaged dist pruning so leftover runtime-dep staging files do not turn successful updates into <code>unexpected packaged dist file</code> failures. Fixes #71752. Thanks @waynegault.</li>
-<li>CLI/update: fail package updates when post-update plugin sync fails and refresh legacy npm plugin install records before trusting unchanged artifacts, preventing successful updates from restarting with stale or failed plugin state. Thanks @vincentkoc and @shakkernerd.</li>
-<li>Release/update: reject pre-populated bundled plugin <code>.openclaw-install-stage</code> directories, including mixed-case path variants, before package inventory generation so release tarballs cannot ship poisoned runtime-dependency staging debris. Fixes #71752. Thanks @hclsys.</li>
-<li>Node runtime: keep node-host retry timers alive across Gateway restarts and exit on terminal credential pauses so supervised nodes do not become silent zombies. Fixes #69800. Thanks @meroli28.</li>
-<li>Gateway/plugins: stop persisted WhatsApp auth state from activating bundled channel runtime-dependency repair during startup when <code>channels.whatsapp</code> is absent, avoiding npm/git stalls on packaged Linux installs. Fixes #71994. Thanks @xiao398008.</li>
-<li>Gateway/device tokens: enforce caller-scope containment inside token rotation and revocation so pairing-only sessions cannot mutate higher-scope operator tokens. Fixes #71990. Thanks @coygeek.</li>
-<li>Plugins/channels: keep security checks, thread-binding placement, provider summaries, health formatting, and message action labels on read-only or already-loaded channel metadata instead of importing full channel runtime. Thanks @shakkernerd.</li>
-<li>Plugins/status: keep config-only channel labels and status security summaries from importing plugin runtime modules just to render metadata. Thanks @shakkernerd.</li>
-<li>Sessions/channels: stop group-session metadata from loading bundled channel runtime just to classify <code>#channel</code> subjects, using only already-loaded channel capabilities on that path. Thanks @shakkernerd.</li>
-<li>Plugins/channels: keep native command and native skill <code>auto</code> defaults on static channel metadata so config, audit, and command-list checks do not load channel runtime just to read those defaults. Thanks @shakkernerd.</li>
-<li>CLI/channels: keep channel remove selection and all-channel capabilities summaries on read-only plugin metadata, loading channel runtime only for the selected mutation path. Thanks @shakkernerd.</li>
-<li>CLI/models: keep Provider Index preview rows out of <code>models list --all --provider <id></code> when the owning provider plugin is disabled, preserving config authority for cold catalog fallbacks. Thanks @shakkernerd.</li>
-<li>CLI/model runs: keep <code>openclaw infer model run</code> on explicit OpenRouter models from loading the full provider catalog or inheriting chat-agent silent-reply policy, restoring non-empty one-shot probe output. Fixes #68791. Thanks @limpredator.</li>
-<li>Installer/macOS: rerun Homebrew install steps without the gum spinner when raw-mode ioctl failures occur, and avoid claiming <code>node@24</code> was installed when the Homebrew keg binary is missing. Fixes #70411. Thanks @1fanwang and @dad-io.</li>
-<li>Installer: load nvm before Node.js detection so <code>curl | bash</code> installs respect nvm-managed Node instead of stale system Node. Fixes #49556. Thanks @heavenlxj.</li>
-<li>Installer/Windows: route PowerShell install failures through a top-level handler so <code>iwr ... | iex</code> returns control to the current shell while direct script-file runs still exit non-zero. Fixes #38054. Thanks @PwrSrg.</li>
-<li>CLI/Volta: respawn raw <code>openclaw</code> CLI runs through the named <code>node</code> shim when the current Node executable resolves to <code>volta-shim</code>, avoiding direct shim execution failures in non-interactive shells. Fixes #68672. Thanks @sanchezm86.</li>
-<li>Installer: warn when multiple npm global roots contain OpenClaw installs, showing active Node/npm/openclaw plus each install path and version so stale version-manager installs are visible. Fixes #40839. Thanks @zhixianio.</li>
-<li>Cron/tasks: recover completed cron task ledger records from durable run logs and job state before marking them <code>lost</code>, reducing false <code>backing session missing</code> audit errors for isolated cron runs and keeping offline CLI audit from treating its empty local cron active-job set as authoritative. Fixes #71963.</li>
-<li>Docker: copy patched dependency files into runtime images so downstream <code>pnpm install</code> layers keep working. Fixes #69224. Thanks @gucasbrg.</li>
-<li>Package: include patched dependency files in the published npm package so downstream installs can resolve <code>patchedDependencies</code>. (#69224) Thanks @gucasbrg and @vincentkoc.</li>
-<li>Plugins/channels: treat malformed bundled channel plugin loaders that return <code>undefined</code> as unavailable instead of crashing config and help paths. Fixes #69044. Thanks @frankhli843 and @vincentkoc.</li>
-<li>Scripts/watch: show corrupted dependency package-config recovery guidance when <code>gateway:watch</code> fails during watcher startup, without double-logging unrelated import failures. (#58780) Thanks @roytong9 and @vincentkoc.</li>
-<li>Signal: read signal-cli RPC, health checks, and SSE events through Node's HTTP client so Node 24/25 fetch regressions do not break Signal sends or inbound events. Fixes #51716 and #53040. Thanks @Barukimang, @minupla, and @vincentkoc.</li>
-<li>Skills/Docker: run npm-backed skill dependency installs with an OpenClaw-managed user prefix so non-root Docker images do not write to <code>/usr/local</code>. Fixes #59601. Thanks @chanjarster and @vincentkoc.</li>
-<li>Agents/runtime: submit heartbeat, cron, and exec wakeups as transient runtime context instead of visible user prompts, keeping synthetic system work out of chat transcripts. Fixes #66496 and #66814. Thanks @jeades and @mandomaker.</li>
-<li>Telegram: include native quote excerpts automatically for threaded replies and reply tags when the original Telegram text is available, without adding another config knob. Fixes #6975. Thanks @rex05ai.</li>
-<li>Node/Linux: make <code>openclaw node install</code> enable and restart the <code>openclaw-node</code> systemd unit instead of the gateway unit on node-only VMs. Fixes #68287. Thanks @dlebee-agent.</li>
-<li>Browser/CDP: retry transient raw-CDP WebSocket handshake failures before any browser command is sent, and reconnect stale persistent Playwright CDP sessions for safe tab-list reads without replaying mutating browser actions. Fixes #67728.</li>
-<li>Gateway/Linux: retry <code>systemctl --user enable</code> after a second daemon reload when the freshly written gateway unit is not visible yet on migrated systemd installs. Fixes #65184. Thanks @liushuaiiu.</li>
-<li>Telegram: preserve exact selected quote text when sending native quote replies, and retry with legacy replies if Telegram rejects quote parameters. (#71952) Thanks @rubencu.</li>
-<li>Plugins/CLI: preserve manifest name, description, format, and source metadata in cold <code>openclaw plugins list</code> output without importing plugin runtime. Thanks @shakkernerd.</li>
-<li>Security/audit: read channel exposure and plugin allowlist ownership from read-only plugin index metadata so cold audits do not depend on loaded channel runtime. Thanks @shakkernerd.</li>
-<li>Plugins/chat: keep <code>/plugins list</code>, <code>/plugins enable</code>, and <code>/plugins disable</code> on the persisted plugin index path so chat plugin management does not load diagnostic/runtime plugin registries before execution. Thanks @shakkernerd.</li>
-<li>Plugins/doctor: read workspace plugin status and legacy web-search ownership through installed-index manifest metadata instead of broad manifest registry scans. Thanks @shakkernerd.</li>
-<li>CLI/agents: read channel provider status from read-only plugin index metadata for text <code>agents list</code> output instead of the loaded channel registry. Thanks @shakkernerd.</li>
-<li>Logging: redact configured secret patterns at console and file-log sink exits so credentials that reach the logger are masked before terminal display or JSONL persistence. Fixes #67953. Thanks @Ziy1-Tan.</li>
-<li>Gateway/services: refuse process and service mutations from an older OpenClaw binary when the config was last written by a newer version, preventing split-brain installs from stopping or rewriting newer gateway services. Fixes #57079.</li>
-<li>Gateway: reserve <code>/healthz</code> and <code>/readyz</code> ahead of plugin, canvas, and Control UI HTTP stages so liveness/readiness probes still answer when a later route handler stalls. Fixes #69674. Thanks @Xike-Creek.</li>
-<li>Logging: load <code>logging.file</code> and redaction settings directly from the active OpenClaw config path in bundled runtimes, so packaged gateways stop falling back to <code>/tmp/openclaw</code>. Fixes #59370, #67168, and #61295. Thanks @KeaneYan, @Pan9hu, and @zsjlovelike.</li>
-<li>Logging: rotate file logs at <code>logging.maxFileBytes</code>, keep bounded numbered archives, and make long-lived rolling loggers follow the current-day file instead of suppressing diagnostics or writing stale dated files. Fixes #58583 and #62381. Thanks @jpeghead and @zhaoleink.</li>
-<li>Agents/groups: treat clean empty assistant stops as silent <code>NO_REPLY</code> only for always-on groups where silent replies are allowed, while keeping direct and mention-gated sessions on the incomplete-turn retry path. Thanks @MagnaAI.</li>
-<li>macOS/Node: keep native remote app nodes from advertising <code>browser.proxy</code>, start browser-capable CLI node services through the restored <code>openclaw node start</code> command, and show an actionable browser-control error when the local control service is missing. Fixes #66637.</li>
-<li>Gateway/update: fail package updates when the restarted managed gateway reports the wrong version, including fallback restarts and JSON mode, avoiding false-success mixed-version restarts after macOS LaunchAgent updates. Fixes #71835. Thanks @abhinas90 and @jsompis.</li>
-<li>Gateway/update: warn before package updates and bundled plugin runtime-dependency repairs when the target volume appears low on disk space, without blocking installs on best-effort filesystem checks. Fixes #71835. Thanks @abhinas90 and @jsompis.</li>
-<li>Plugins/runtime deps: surface activated plugin load failures in health and fail package-update restart verification or doctor repair when bundled runtime deps still cannot load, avoiding false-success repairs. (#71883) Thanks @Solvely-Colin.</li>
-<li>Gateway/Linux: include fnm <code>aliases/default/bin</code> in generated service PATHs and let doctor accept either modern fnm aliases or the legacy <code>current/bin</code> symlink, avoiding false PATH repair prompts. Fixes #68169. Thanks @richard-scott.</li>
-<li>Installer/Linux: run apt installs with noninteractive dpkg and needrestart settings so fresh Ubuntu 24.04 <code>curl | bash</code> installs do not hang while installing Node.js, Git, or build tools. Fixes #41146. Thanks @iht76, @alexcarv318, @cs3gallery, @firofame, and @cgdusek.</li>
-<li>Providers/Bedrock: defer the AWS SDK import until Bedrock discovery actually runs so plugin registration and setup stay lightweight on cold start. Fixes #71690. Thanks @jarvis-ai-gregmoser.</li>
-<li>Installer/macOS: stop immediately when Homebrew <code>node@24</code> installation fails and avoid printing PATH advice for missing Homebrew Node installs. Fixes #70411. Thanks @1fanwang.</li>
-<li>WhatsApp: remove ack reactions after a visible reply when <code>messages.removeAckAfterReply</code> is enabled, matching other reaction-capable channels. Fixes #26183. Thanks @MrUnforsaken.</li>
-<li>Providers/Z.AI: map OpenClaw thinking controls to Z.AI's <code>thinking</code> payload and add opt-in preserved thinking replay via <code>params.preserveThinking</code>, so GLM 5.x can keep prior <code>reasoning_content</code> when requested. Fixes #58680. Thanks @xuanmingguo.</li>
-<li>Channels/status: keep read-only channel lists on manifest and package metadata by default, loading setup runtime only for explicit fallback callers. Thanks @shakkernerd.</li>
-<li>Plugins: scope setup and web-provider metadata manifest reads to explicit plugin ids when callers already know the owning plugin set. Thanks @vincentkoc.</li>
-<li>Plugins/onboarding: defer onboarding install-record index writes until the guarded config commit so setup failures cannot leave the plugin index ahead of <code>openclaw.json</code>. Thanks @shakkernerd.</li>
-<li>Plugins/registry: resolve web provider ownership from the installed plugin index instead of broad manifest scans on secret, tool, and pricing paths. Thanks @shakkernerd.</li>
-<li>Config/providers: accept <code>video</code> and <code>audio</code> in configured model <code>input</code> values and preserve them in provider catalog entries. Fixes #20721. Thanks @alvinttang.</li>
-<li>Models/auth: honor the parent <code>--agent</code> flag for auth write commands (<code>add</code>, <code>login</code>, <code>setup-token</code>, <code>paste-token</code>, and the GitHub Copilot shortcut) so OAuth/API-key/token results are written to the requested agent store instead of the default agent. Fixes #71864. (#71933) Thanks @balric-seo.</li>
-<li>TTS: strip model-emitted TTS directives from streamed block text before channel delivery, including directives split across adjacent blocks, while preserving the accumulated raw reply for final-mode synthesis. Fixes #38937.</li>
-<li>TTS: keep explicit <code>provider=...</code> directive keys scoped to that provider and warn on unsupported keys instead of letting another speech provider consume overlapping keys. Fixes #60131.</li>
-<li>TTS/Feishu: normalize final-mode streamed TTS-only audio before delivery so generated voice-note files use the same safe media path and native voice routing as normal final replies. Fixes #71920.</li>
-<li>Feishu: transcribe inbound voice-note audio with the shared media audio path before agent dispatch and keep raw Feishu <code>file_key</code> payloads out of message text. Fixes #67120 and #61876.</li>
-<li>Tasks: terminalize async Gateway agent task records from the Gateway run result while preserving aborted, failed, and cancelled outcomes instead of leaving completed runs stuck as active or lost. (#71905) Thanks @likewen-tech.</li>
-<li>WhatsApp: let authorized group voice-note transcripts satisfy mention gating before reply dispatch, while keeping unmentioned transcripts in pending group history. Fixes #44908.</li>
-<li>Media understanding: carry channel voice-note preflight state into attachment selection so WhatsApp, Feishu, Telegram, and Discord do not transcribe the same inbound audio twice. Fixes #70580.</li>
-<li>TTS/BlueBubbles: deliver compatible auto-TTS audio as iMessage voice memo bubbles instead of plain MP3/CAF file attachments. Fixes #16848.</li>
-<li>TTS: resolve voice-note and voice-memo routing from channel plugin capabilities instead of speech-core-owned channel id lists.</li>
-<li>ACP: send subagent and async-task completion wakes to external ACP harnesses as plain prompts instead of OpenClaw internal runtime-context envelopes, while keeping those envelopes out of ACP transcripts.</li>
-<li>TTS/status: show configured TTS model, voice, and sanitized custom endpoint in <code>/status</code>, preserve OpenAI-compatible TTS instructions on custom endpoints, and retry empty Microsoft/Edge TTS output once. Addresses #46602, #47232, and #43936. Thanks @leekuangtao, @Huntterxx, and @rex993.</li>
-<li>Agents/Gateway: steer agent-driven config edits and restarts through the owner-only <code>gateway</code> tool, document <code>config.schema.lookup</code> as the field-doc source, and warn against using <code>gateway stop && gateway start</code> as a restart substitute on macOS. Fixes #71929. Thanks @ygc3817922006-sketch.</li>
-<li>Media understanding/audio: inject a deterministic transcript placeholder for too-small voice notes so agents do not hallucinate transcription or provider failures. Fixes #48944. Thanks @eulicesl.</li>
-<li>Providers/vLLM: send Nemotron 3 chat-template kwargs when thinking is off and honor configured <code>params.chat_template_kwargs</code> for OpenAI-compatible completions, so vLLM/Nemotron replies stay visible instead of becoming thinking-only. Fixes #71891. Thanks @jmystaki-create and @dennis-lynch.</li>
-<li>Channels/replies: strip copied inbound metadata blocks from user-facing assistant replies and model replay history, so Discord/vLLM sessions do not leak <code>Conversation info</code> / <code>UNTRUSTED ... message body</code> envelopes after a model echoes them. Fixes #71847. Thanks @jmystaki-create.</li>
-<li>Subagents/memory: keep inter-session completion wakes out of memory and dreaming session exports, and strip internal runtime-context blocks from realtime Control UI chat events.</li>
-<li>Agents/Claude: treat zero-token empty <code>stop</code> turns as failed provider output, retry once, repair replay, and allow configured model fallback instead of preserving them as successful silent replies. Fixes #71880. Thanks @MagnaAI.</li>
-<li>Tasks: normalize task lifecycle timestamps at create, update, and restore time, and report retained lost tasks as audit warnings until their cleanup window expires. (#71871) Thanks @likewen-tech.</li>
-<li>Diagnostics/OTEL: treat normal early model stream cleanup as a completed model call instead of exporting a misleading <code>StreamAbandoned</code> error span. Thanks @vincentkoc.</li>
-<li>Gateway/pairing: stop corrupt or unreadable device/node pairing stores from being treated as empty state, preserving <code>paired.json</code> for repair instead of overwriting approved pairings. Fixes #71873. Thanks @iret77.</li>
-<li>ACP: keep <code>/acp</code> management commands, plus local <code>/status</code> and <code>/unfocus</code>, on the Gateway path inside ACP-bound threads so they are not consumed as ACP prompt text. Fixes #66298. Thanks @kindomLee.</li>
-<li>ACPX: stop probing ACP agents during normal Gateway startup; the embedded backend now registers without spawning Codex/ACP child processes unless <code>OPENCLAW_ACPX_RUNTIME_STARTUP_PROBE=1</code> is explicitly set.</li>
-<li>CLI/image edit: accept <code>--size</code>, <code>--aspect-ratio</code>, and <code>--resolution</code> on <code>openclaw infer image edit</code> and report all supported edit flags from <code>capability inspect image.edit</code>. Thanks @Pinghuachiu.</li>
-<li>ACP: wait for the configured runtime backend to become healthy before startup identity reconciliation, avoiding transient acpx warnings during Gateway boot. Fixes #40566.</li>
-<li>Channels/ACP bindings: time out configured binding readiness checks instead of letting Discord preflight hang forever when an ACP target never settles. Fixes #68776.</li>
-<li>Control UI: hide the chat loading skeleton during background history reloads when existing messages or active stream content are already visible, avoiding reload flashes on high-latency local gateways. Fixes #71844. Thanks @WolvenRA.</li>
-<li>Control UI: keep locally optimistic chat messages visible when a history reload temporarily returns empty, avoiding lost first-turn messages on high-latency gateways. Fixes #71878. Thanks @WolvenRA.</li>
-<li>Control UI: keep chat history limits based on visible messages after filtering heartbeat and control-only transcript rows, so recent hidden entries no longer make older visible replies disappear. Thanks @WolvenRA.</li>
-<li>Agents/images: scrub old <code>[media attached: ...]</code>, <code>[Image: source: ...]</code>, and <code>media://inbound/...</code> markers from pruned model replay context so stale media refs are not rehydrated as fresh prompt images. Fixes #71868. Thanks @jmeadlock.</li>
-<li>Docker/Bonjour: disable Bonjour/mDNS advertising by default for bundled Compose gateways on bridge networking, while keeping host/macvlan opt-in with <code>OPENCLAW_DISABLE_BONJOUR=0</code>. Fixes #71879. Thanks @gbballpack.</li>
-<li>CLI/status: label the OpenClaw Serve/Funnel setting as <code>Tailscale exposure</code> and show daemon state separately when available, so <code>gateway.tailscale.mode: "off"</code> no longer reads like the Tailscale daemon is stopped. Fixes #71790. Thanks @pesvobodak.</li>
-<li>Plugins/Bonjour: stop ciao mDNS watchdog failures from looping forever when the advertiser stays stuck in <code>probing</code> or <code>announcing</code>; Bonjour now disables itself for the current Gateway process after repeated failed restarts while the Gateway keeps running. Fixes #69011. Thanks @siddharthaagarwalofficial-ux, @FiredMosquito831, and @spikefcz.</li>
-<li>Gateway/Fly.io: seed Control UI allowed origins from the actual runtime bind and port so CLI-driven non-loopback starts do not crash before config exists. Fixes #71823.</li>
-<li>macOS/remote SSH: keep discovered gateway hosts in <code>gateway.remote.sshTarget</code> while pinning SSH transport URLs to the local loopback tunnel, so browser automation does not regress into blocked non-loopback <code>ws://</code> endpoints. Fixes #67336.</li>
-<li>Gateway/proxy: bootstrap env proxy dispatching from direct Gateway startup so provider and plugin network requests honor <code>HTTPS_PROXY</code>/<code>HTTP_PROXY</code> before the first embedded agent attempt runs. (#71833) Thanks @mjamiv.</li>
-<li>Plugins/runtime deps: verify clean npm installs actually place requested bundled runtime packages in the managed install root, reporting exact missing specs instead of a false successful repair. (#71883) Thanks @Solvely-Colin.</li>
-<li>Plugins/discovery: ignore stale <code>plugins.load.paths</code> aliases that point back at packaged bundled plugin directories and have doctor remove them, keeping bundled plugins on the runtime-deps staging path.</li>
-<li>Models/LM Studio: preserve <code>@iq*</code> quant suffixes in model refs and provider matching so <code>/model lmstudio/...@iq3_xxs</code> keeps the exact LM Studio variant. Fixes #71474. (#71486) Thanks @Bartok9, @XinwuC, and @Sanjays2402.</li>
-<li>Matrix/cron: preserve the live Matrix delivery target when creating implicit announce reminder jobs so mixed-case room IDs are not reconstructed from lowercased session keys. Fixes #71798.</li>
-<li>Feishu: accept Schema 2.0 card action callbacks that report <code>context.open_chat_id</code> instead of legacy <code>context.chat_id</code>, so button callbacks no longer drop as malformed. Fixes #71670. Thanks @eddy1068.</li>
-<li>Feishu: keep synthetic card-action and bot-menu ids out of platform reply targets, using the real card callback message id when Feishu provides one and plain-sending otherwise. Fixes #71673. Thanks @eddy1068.</li>
-<li>Plugins/QQ Bot: prefer an installed QQ Bot plugin that declares it replaces the bundled <code>qqbot</code> channel, preventing duplicate <code>qqbot_channel_api</code> and <code>qqbot_remind</code> tool registration noise. Fixes #63102.</li>
-<li>Browser automation: keep stable tab ids and labels attached when Chromium replaces the raw target after form submissions or other action-triggered navigations, and return the replacement <code>targetId</code> from <code>/act</code> when the match is provable. Fixes #46137.</li>
-<li>QQ Bot: make <code>qqbot_remind</code> schedule, list, and remove Gateway cron jobs directly for owner-authorized senders instead of returning <code>cronParams</code> and relying on a follow-up generic <code>cron</code> tool call. Fixes #70865. (#70937) Thanks @GaosCode.</li>
-<li>Agents/ACP: hide <code>sessions_spawn</code> ACP runtime options unless an ACP backend is loaded, and make <code>/acp doctor</code> call out <code>plugins.allow</code> blocking bundled <code>acpx</code>. Thanks @vincentkoc.</li>
-<li>Agents/Codex: keep ACP prompt/skill routing hidden unless an ACP runtime backend is available, and warn in doctor when enabled Codex plugin configs still route <code>openai-codex/*</code> models through PI. Thanks @vincentkoc.</li>
-<li>Media delivery: avoid sending generated image attachments twice when the assistant reply already includes explicit <code>MEDIA:</code> lines for the same turn, and reject unsafe remote <code>MEDIA:</code> URLs before delivery. Thanks @pashpashpash.</li>
-<li>Codex harness: ignore retryable app-server error notifications after Codex recovers, and preserve the real nested error message for terminal app-server failures instead of replacing it with a generic failure. Thanks @pashpashpash.</li>
-<li>Agents/Codex: prepare native Codex sub-agent session metadata without a nested Gateway session patch and add a focused Docker smoke for the app-server sub-agent path. Thanks @vincentkoc.</li>
-<li>Agents/subagents: keep queued subagent announces session-only when the requester has no external channel target, avoiding ambiguous multi-channel delivery failures. Fixes #59201. Thanks @larrylhollan.</li>
-<li>Image understanding: preserve configured provider-prefixed vision model metadata when callers request the model without the provider prefix, so custom image models keep their <code>input: ["text", "image"]</code> capability. Fixes #33185. Thanks @Kobe9312 and @vincentkoc.</li>
-<li>Plugins/install: restore the previous plugin index records if a concurrent config write conflict interrupts install, update, or uninstall metadata commits. Thanks @shakkernerd.</li>
-<li>Plugins/install: reject native plugin archives that do not include a valid <code>openclaw.plugin.json</code>, preventing manifestless archives from writing install records that later show missing-manifest diagnostics. Thanks @shakkernerd.</li>
-<li>Plugins/uninstall: remove tracked managed plugin install directories even when the persisted install path differs from the default id-derived target, while still refusing deletes outside the managed extensions root. Thanks @shakkernerd.</li>
-<li>Plugins/update: restore previous plugin index records if core update or channel setup hits a concurrent config write conflict after plugin metadata changes. Thanks @shakkernerd.</li>
-<li>Plugins/onboarding: defer channel/provider plugin install records until the owning config write commits, keeping setup failures from advancing the plugin index ahead of <code>openclaw.json</code>. Thanks @shakkernerd.</li>
-<li>Plugins/config: route configure and agent setup writes with pending plugin install records through the plugin index commit helper so provider onboarding metadata is not stripped by plain config writes. Thanks @shakkernerd.</li>
-<li>Plugins/channels: merge pending channel plugin install records with the existing plugin index before config writes, preserving unrelated tracked installs during channel setup, resolve, remove, and capability repair flows. Thanks @shakkernerd.</li>
-<li>Plugins/config: defer shipped <code>plugins.installs</code> index migration during config writes until the guarded config commit window and roll it back if the config write fails before commit. Thanks @shakkernerd.</li>
-<li>Sessions: keep embedded runtime context out of the visible user prompt by sending it as a hidden next-turn custom message, and teach doctor to repair affected 2026.4.24 transcripts with duplicated prompt-rewrite branches. Fixes #71761.</li>
-<li>Gateway/subagents: keep direct-loopback backend RPCs authenticated with the shared gateway token/password off stale CLI paired-device scope baselines, so internal calls no longer hit <code>scope-upgrade</code> pairing prompts while remote, browser, node, device-token, and explicit-device paths still require normal pairing approval. Fixes #63548.</li>
-<li>Providers/Azure OpenAI: give deployment-scoped image generation requests a longer 600s default timeout so slow <code>gpt-image-2</code> generations can complete without a per-call <code>timeoutMs</code>. Fixes #71705. Thanks @voytas75.</li>
-<li>Gateway/plugins: link source-checkout bundled runtime dependency caches instead of recursively copying <code>node_modules</code> on the gateway main thread, preventing local status, node, and skill probes from timing out during startup cache restores.</li>
-<li>Skills/remote nodes: only expose remote macOS skill bins for connected nodes, clear stale bin matches when node probes fail, and include probe command, timeout, bin count, and connection state in timeout logs.</li>
-<li>Skills/remote nodes: recognize <code>system.which</code> object-map responses when probing connected macOS nodes, so Linux gateways can expose macOS-only skills such as Apple Notes when the required binaries are installed remotely. Fixes #71877. Thanks @miguelarios.</li>
-<li>CLI/gateway: keep diagnostic probes from creating first-time read-only device pairings, while still reusing cached device tokens for detailed read probes. Fixes #71766. Thanks @SunboZ.</li>
-<li>CLI/plugins: keep <code>message</code> startup, <code>channels logs</code>, <code>agents delete</code>, and <code>agents set-identity</code> off broad plugin preloading; message delivery still loads plugins when the action actually runs.</li>
-<li>Image understanding: resolve configured image models such as local LM Studio vision entries before reporting <code>Unknown model</code> when the discovery registry has not registered that provider. Fixes #66486. Thanks @zhanggpcsu.</li>
-<li>QQ Bot: ignore self-echoed bot messages using the outbound ref-index marker, preventing mirrored replies from re-entering the agent loop while still allowing users to quote bot replies. Fixes #71912. Thanks @wangyc6003.</li>
-<li>Sessions: separate reset freshness from session-store <code>updatedAt</code>, so heartbeat, cron, exec, and gateway bookkeeping no longer prevent configured daily/idle resets from rolling long-running channel sessions. Fixes #68315, #63732, #63820, and #69083. Thanks @maxatv, @longhairedsi, @bradfreels, and @akessel56.</li>
-<li>Sessions: clear queued system-event notices during <code>/new</code>, <code>/reset</code>, gateway <code>sessions.reset</code>, and daily/idle rollover so stale background updates cannot leak into the first prompt of the fresh session. Fixes #66864. Thanks @opeyio, @Magicray1217, and @cedillarack.</li>
-<li>CLI/agents: keep <code>agents bind</code>, <code>agents unbind</code>, and <code>agents bindings</code> on setup-safe channel metadata paths so they do not preload bundled plugin runtimes or stage runtime dependencies. Fixes #71743.</li>
-<li>Plugins/registry: preserve explicit disabled plugin records during registry migration without persisting every unused bundled plugin discovered on disk. Thanks @shakkernerd.</li>
-<li>Windows/native: keep CLI startup and bundled provider plugin loading off Windows ESM raw-path failure paths, fixing native onboarding/install smoke on Node 24.</li>
-<li>Plugins/doctor: read bundled channel doctor capabilities through the same packaged plugin directory resolver used by plugin loading, so published installs keep Matrix DM allowlist repairs on <code>channels.matrix.dm.*</code> instead of writing invalid top-level <code>dmPolicy</code> keys. Fixes #71757.</li>
-<li>Plugins/Windows: keep bundled plugin Jiti loaders off the native import path on Windows so channel plugins such as Telegram no longer crash with <code>ERR_UNSUPPORTED_ESM_URL_SCHEME</code> on <code>C:\...</code> paths. Fixes #71749. Thanks @smeyer9.</li>
-<li>Providers/Ollama: use Ollama's current <code>/api/web_search</code> endpoint and honor <code>https://ollama.com</code> model-provider base URLs for Ollama Web Search. Fixes #71741. Thanks @madhvidua.</li>
-<li>Memory/Ollama: serialize Ollama memory embedding batches and add an inline batch timeout override, with longer defaults for local/self-hosted embedding providers.</li>
-<li>Sessions/usage: exclude compaction checkpoint transcript snapshots from usage totals and session discovery, while keeping old checkpoint files removable.</li>
-<li>CLI/agents: keep <code>openclaw agents list --json</code> on the config-only path by default, avoiding bundled plugin loading unless callers request <code>--bindings</code>. Fixes #71739. Thanks @kaloster.</li>
-<li>Plugins/install: force plugin dependency installs to stay project-local even when inherited npm config requests global installs, so successful installs still materialize the plugin's staged <code>node_modules</code>.</li>
-<li>Providers/Google: transcode Gemini TTS PCM to Opus for voice-note targets so WhatsApp and other native voice-note replies can play as voice messages.</li>
-<li>TTS/WhatsApp: mark non-Opus provider output as voice-note intent so channel delivery transcodes MP3/WebM replies to Ogg/Opus PTT audio.</li>
-<li>Plugins/runtime deps: reuse existing external bundled-plugin stage roots when mirrored plugin roots are inspected again, avoiding second-generation <code>openclaw-unknown-*</code> stages and repeated first-turn restaging. Fixes #71599.</li>
-<li>iOS/macOS Talk Mode: allow <code>talk.speechLocale</code> to set the speech recognition locale for non-English voice conversations. Fixes #44688.</li>
-<li>Plugins/providers: honor explicit plugin candidate lists instead of reading a persisted registry snapshot from local state, keeping candidate-scoped provider discovery hermetic.</li>
-<li>Plugins/doctor: keep bundled plugin runtime-dependency repairs inside the managed OpenClaw stage even when user npm prefix/global config points npm at <code>$HOME/node_modules</code>. Fixes #71730.</li>
-<li>ACP/sessions_spawn: reject normal OpenClaw config agent ids when callers explicitly request <code>runtime="acp"</code>, while allowing agents configured with <code>runtime.type="acp"</code> to resolve to their ACP harness id. Fixes #63914.</li>
-<li>ACP/sessions_spawn: apply <code>runTimeoutSeconds</code> to ACP child turns and dispatch those turns on the background subagent lane, so quota-stalled ACP harnesses do not occupy the main agent lane indefinitely. Fixes #68823.</li>
-<li>ACP/oneshot: reconcile runtime session identity before closing completed oneshot ACP runs, so finished <code>sessions.json</code> entries do not stay stuck with <code>acp.identity.state="pending"</code>.</li>
-<li>ACPX: bundle <code>acpx@0.6.1</code> so unsupported generic model overrides fail clearly instead of silently falling back to the target adapter default.</li>
-<li>ACP/models: document that non-Codex ACP model overrides require adapter support for ACP <code>models</code> plus <code>session/set_model</code>, so unsupported harnesses fail clearly instead of silently falling back to their defaults.</li>
-<li>Plugins/Voice Call: treat missing provider credentials as setup-incomplete during Gateway startup and log the missing keys as a warning instead of a runtime startup error, while keeping explicit command/tool errors when used.</li>
-<li>Android/Talk Mode: prevent duplicate TTS playback when fast or repeated final chat events arrive while Talk Mode is waiting for its own response. Fixes #46546.</li>
-<li>Tooling/check:changed: pass parent heavy-check lock markers to lint lanes so <code>pnpm check:changed</code> no longer waits on its own <code>lint:extensions</code> child.</li>
-<li>CLI/completion: dedupe provider auth flags before registering <code>openclaw onboard</code> options, so completion-cache refresh during update no longer fails when stale core fallback flags overlap plugin manifest flags. Fixes #71667.</li>
-<li>Diagnostics/trace: report live context usage from the current prompt snapshot instead of provider turn totals, avoiding false near-full context spikes on cached or tool-heavy runs.</li>
-<li>Providers/Google: honor <code>models.providers.google.request.allowPrivateNetwork</code> for Gemini TTS and telephony TTS, matching Google image generation and media understanding. (#71723) Thanks @ro-hansolo.</li>

-<li>Providers/onboarding: keep Runway and Alibaba Model Studio out of the text-inference setup picker by scoping their video-generation auth choices to the media setup flow. (#65856) Thanks @Jah-yee.</li>
-<li>Plugins/Bonjour: stop the gateway from crash-looping on <code>CIAO PROBING CANCELLED</code> when the mDNS watchdog cancels a stuck probe. Restores the rejection-handler wiring dropped during the bonjour plugin migration and shares unhandled-rejection state across module instances so plugin-staged copies of <code>openclaw/plugin-sdk/runtime</code> register into the same handler set the host consults. Especially affects Docker on macOS, where mDNS probing reliably hits the watchdog. Thanks @troyhitch.</li>
-<li>Google Meet: report pinned Chrome nodes as offline or missing capabilities in setup/join diagnostics, keep inaccessible nodes out of auto-selection, and preflight local BlackHole/SoX requirements before agents try local Chrome.</li>
-<li>Providers/MiniMax: route <code>image-01</code> requests to the dedicated image generation endpoint while preserving CN endpoint selection. Fixes #61149. Thanks @mushuiyu886.</li>
-<li>Plugins/startup: remove ownerless bundled runtime-dependency install locks after a short grace window and include lock owner details when startup times out waiting for a plugin runtime-deps lock.</li>
-<li>Plugins/install: anchor bundled runtime-dependency npm installs with an OpenClaw-owned package manifest so Linux updates cannot accidentally write to a parent <code>$HOME/node_modules</code> tree. Fixes #71730.</li>
-<li>Plugins/install: pass onboarding plugin config into plugin index writes so local plugin installs outside default discovery roots keep their install records. Thanks @shakkernerd.</li>
-<li>Plugins/install: migrate shipped <code>plugins.installs</code> config records into the plugin index while stripping them from runtime config and future writes. Thanks @shakkernerd.</li>
-<li>Plugins/install: durably remove shipped <code>plugins.installs</code> from <code>openclaw.json</code> after its records are copied into the plugin index, while rolling back the index write if config cleanup fails. Thanks @shakkernerd.</li>
-<li>Plugins/install: keep migrated plugin install records in the plugin index even when the plugin manifest is missing or invalid, so update, uninstall, inspect, and audit can still recover broken installs. Thanks @shakkernerd.</li>
-<li>Plugins/security: keep plugin audit JSON check ids stable while reporting plugin index install-record findings with updated wording. Thanks @shakkernerd.</li>
-<li>CLI/config: reject direct <code>plugins.installs</code> edits with guidance to use <code>openclaw plugins install</code>, <code>openclaw plugins update</code>, or <code>openclaw plugins uninstall</code> instead. Thanks @shakkernerd.</li>
-<li>Live tests/voice: accept common STT variants for OpenClaw and ElevenLabs brand names so provider smoke tests fail on real regressions rather than equivalent transcripts.</li>
-<li>Agents/replies: forward sanitized underlying agent failure details on external channels instead of replacing unknown failures with a generic retry message.</li>
-<li>CLI/MCP: translate OpenClaw <code>mcp.servers.*.transport</code> entries into Claude/Gemini CLI <code>type</code> fields so streamable HTTP MCP servers load in CLI backend sessions. (#71724) Thanks @Blockchain-Oracle.</li>
-<li>Browser/CDP: honor configured remote and <code>attachOnly</code> CDP HTTP/WebSocket timeouts when opening tabs through raw CDP or <code>/json/new</code> fallback. (#54238) Thanks @FuncWei.</li>
-<li>WhatsApp/TTS: send visible text separately from PTT voice-note audio instead of relying on hidden voice-note captions. Fixes #51081.</li>
-<li>Browser/client: avoid telling agents to restart OpenClaw for dispatcher timeouts on external browser profiles such as <code>attachOnly</code>, remote CDP, and existing-session. (#40815) Thanks @0xsline.</li>
-<li>Agents/TTS: preserve <code>[[audio_as_voice]]</code> directives on trusted text tool-result <code>MEDIA:</code> payloads so generated audio still delivers as a voice note. (#46535) Thanks @azade-c.</li>
-<li>Agents/TTS: keep queued tool media when an assistant ends with <code>NO_REPLY</code> on non-block delivery paths, so media-only generated audio replies still send. (#60025) Thanks @bradlind1.</li>
-<li>Telegram/STT: frame inbound voice-note transcripts as machine-generated, untrusted text in agent context while preserving raw transcript mention detection. Closes #33360. Thanks @smartchainark.</li>
-<li>Subagents/browser: show an actionable <code>/tools</code> notice when browser automation is configured but filtered out by the active tool profile, and document that coding-profile agents should use <code>tools.alsoAllow: ["browser"]</code> rather than subagent allowlists alone.</li>
-<li>Control UI/Quick Settings: persist the assistant avatar override to browser local storage (mirroring the user avatar) so uploaded image data URLs no longer fail config validation with "Too big: expected string to have <=200 characters". Also lift the gateway-side <code>ui.assistant.avatar</code> length cap to match the user avatar size budget for non-UI clients writing the field directly. Thanks @BunsDev.</li>
-<li>Plugin SDK: share diagnostic event subscriptions across duplicate source/dist module graphs so legacy root SDK imports still receive runtime diagnostic events.</li>
-<li>Agents/Bedrock: prevent empty assistant stream-error turns from poisoning Converse replay by persisting, repairing, and replaying a non-empty fallback block. Fixes #71572. (#71627) Thanks @openperf.</li>
-<li>Agents/Anthropic/Bedrock: strip thinking blocks with missing, empty, or blank replay signatures before provider conversion, falling back to non-empty omitted-reasoning text when needed so corrupted signed-thinking history no longer poisons subsequent turns. Fixes #45010. (#70054) Thanks @castaples.</li>
-<li>Agents/Anthropic/Bedrock: preserve stripped thinking-only assistant replay turns with non-empty omitted-reasoning text so provider adapters keep strict user/assistant turn shape. Thanks @wujiaming88.</li>
-<li>ACP/Codex: pass <code>sessions_spawn(runtime="acp")</code> model and thinking overrides into Codex ACP startup, normalize <code>openai-codex/*</code> refs and slash reasoning suffixes, and recognize managed Codex ACP wrapper commands without blocking current <code>gpt-5.5</code> sessions. Fixes #40393. (#71643) Thanks @91wan.</li>
-<li>Browser/CDP: make readiness diagnostics use the same discovery-first fallback as reachability for bare <code>ws://</code> Browserless and Browserbase CDP URLs. Fixes #69532.</li>
-<li>Browser/CDP: explain that loopback Browserless or other externally managed CDP services need <code>attachOnly: true</code> and matching Browserless <code>EXTERNAL</code> endpoint when reporting local port ownership conflicts, and fall back to the configured bare WebSocket root when a discovered Browserless endpoint rejects CDP. Fixes #49815.</li>
-<li>Gateway/reload: preserve indefinite <code>gateway.reload.deferralTimeoutMs: 0</code> semantics for channel hot reload deferrals so active agent runs are not interrupted by a forced channel restart. (#71637) Thanks @Poo-Squirry.</li>
-<li>Agents/tool results: cap persisted Pi tool-result details and strip hidden diagnostics before provider conversion, preventing large debug payloads from bloating session transcripts. (#71637) Thanks @Poo-Squirry.</li>

-<li>Providers/OpenCode Go: route DeepSeek V4 Pro/Flash through the OpenAI-compatible Go endpoint and suppress invalid <code>reasoning_effort: "off"</code> payloads, fixing tool-enabled requests for <code>opencode-go/deepseek-v4-flash</code>. Fixes #71683.</li>
-<li>Plugins/model defaults: run Skill Workshop review, Active Memory recall, and session-memory slug generation on the configured agent default model instead of the hardcoded OpenAI SDK fallback when hook context lacks model metadata. Fixes #71659.</li>
-<li>Providers/Venice: fill the required DeepSeek V4 <code>reasoning_content</code> placeholder for <code>venice/deepseek-v4-pro</code> and <code>venice/deepseek-v4-flash</code> replay turns without sending native DeepSeek <code>thinking</code> controls that Venice rejects. Fixes #71628.</li>
-<li>Browser/existing-session: support per-profile Chrome MCP command/args, map <code>cdpUrl</code> to <code>--browserUrl</code> or <code>--wsEndpoint</code>, and avoid combining endpoint flags with <code>--userDataDir</code>. Fixes #47879, #48037, and #62706. Thanks @puneet1409, @zhehao, and @madkow1001.</li>
-<li>Media/plugins: bound MIME sniffing and ZIP archive preflight before handing untrusted files to <code>file-type</code> or <code>jszip</code>, reducing parser CPU and memory exposure for attachments and ClawHub plugin archives. Thanks @vincentkoc.</li>
-<li>Memory-host SDK: use trusted env-proxy mode for remote embedding and batch HTTP calls only when Undici will proxy that target, preserving SSRF DNS pinning for <code>ALL_PROXY</code>-only and <code>NO_PROXY</code> bypass cases. Fixes #52162. (#71506) Thanks @DhtIsCoding.</li>
-<li>Gateway/dashboard: render Control UI and WebSocket links with <code>https://</code>/<code>wss://</code> when <code>gateway.tls.enabled=true</code>, including <code>openclaw gateway status</code>. Fixes #71494. (#71499) Thanks @deepkilo.</li>
-<li>Agents/OpenAI-compatible: default proxy/local completions tool requests to <code>tool_choice: "auto"</code> when tools are present, so providers enter native tool-calling mode instead of replying with plain-text tool directives. (#71472) Thanks @Speed-maker.</li>
-<li>OpenAI image generation: use <code>gpt-5.5</code> for the Codex OAuth responses transport instead of the retired <code>gpt-5.4</code> model, fixing 500s from ChatGPT Codex image generation. Fixes #71513. Thanks @baolongl.</li>
-<li>OpenAI image generation: route transparent-background default-model requests to <code>gpt-image-1.5</code>, document the expected <code>image_generate</code> call shape, and keep Azure/custom OpenAI-compatible deployment names untouched.</li>
-<li>Google video generation: download direct MLDev Veo <code>video.uri</code> results instead of passing them through the Files API path, fixing 404s after successful generation/polling. Fixes #71200. Thanks @panhaishan.</li>
-<li>Google video generation: fall back to the REST <code>predictLongRunning</code> Veo endpoint for text-only SDK 404s while keeping reference image/video generation on the SDK path. Fixes #62309 and #63008. (#62343) Thanks @leoleedev.</li>
-<li>MiniMax music generation: switch the bundled default model from the unsupported <code>music-2.5+</code> id to the current <code>music-2.6</code> API model. Fixes #64870 and addresses the music default from #62315. Thanks @noahclanman and @edwardzheng1.</li>
-<li>Cron: record jobs interrupted by a gateway restart as failed at their original <code>runningAtMs</code>, skip unsafe startup replay, and disable interrupted one-shot jobs so they show a visible failure instead of silently disappearing or duplicating work. Fixes #59056, #61343, #63657, and #59301. Thanks @ponchoooPenguin, @daemic24, @myradon, and @hikiwibot.</li>
-<li>Cron tool: recover flat top-level schedule shorthand such as <code>cron</code>, <code>tz</code>, and <code>staggerMs</code> before gateway validation, so model-generated cron add/update calls preserve cron jitter settings. Thanks @tyxben.</li>
-<li>Cron: hydrate flat legacy job rows with top-level <code>cron</code>, <code>tz</code>, <code>session</code>, and <code>message</code> fields into canonical schedule, target, and payload objects before startup recomputes run times. Fixes #43351.</li>
-<li>Agents/replies: let pending group chat history trigger bare mentioned turns without treating metadata-only inbound context as user input. Fixes #71489. (#71520) Thanks @SymbolStar.</li>
-<li>Google media generation: strip a configured trailing <code>/v1beta</code> from Google music/video provider base URLs before calling the Google GenAI SDK, preventing doubled <code>/v1beta/v1beta</code> paths. Fixes #63240. (#63258) Thanks @Hybirdss.</li>
-<li>Discord: restore direct-message voice-note preflight transcription and classify URL-only Ogg/Opus voice attachments as audio while skipping partial attachments without usable URLs. Fixes #61314 and #64803.</li>
-<li>Plugins/build: copy bundled plugin skill trees into <code>dist-runtime</code>, broaden Windows symlink-copy fallbacks, and fingerprint runtime dependencies from <code>lstat</code> so symlink-like directory entries cannot crash staging.</li>
-<li>Google Chat: preserve reply text when a typing indicator message is deleted or can no longer be updated, so media captions and first text chunks are resent instead of silently disappearing. (#71498) Thanks @colin-lgtm.</li>
-<li>Cron: tolerate malformed legacy job rows in startup, main-session system-event payloads, and human-readable <code>cron list</code> output so missing <code>state</code>, <code>payload.text</code>, or display fields no longer crash the scheduler or CLI. Fixes #66016, #65916, #64137, #57872, #59968, #63813, #52804, and #43163. (#71509) Thanks @vincentkoc.</li>
-<li>CLI/models: make <code>openclaw models scan</code> fall back to public OpenRouter free-model metadata when no <code>OPENROUTER_API_KEY</code> is configured, avoid config secret resolution for explicit <code>--no-probe</code> scans, and apply the scan timeout to the OpenRouter catalog request.</li>
-<li>Feishu: keep streaming cards to one live card per turn, flush throttled card edits after meaningful text boundaries, and skip exact block/partial repeats so tool-heavy replies do not duplicate card output. Thanks @allan0509.</li>
-<li>Feishu: finish the streaming-card duplicate closeout by stripping leaked reasoning tags, preserving cross-block partial snapshots, enabling topic-thread streaming cards, omitting the generic <code>main</code> card header, surfacing transient tool/compaction status, and cleaning streaming state after close failures. Thanks @sesame437, @Vicky-v7, @maoku-family, @Pengxiao-Wang, and @Maple778.</li>
-<li>Telegram: recover incomplete partial-stream previews by falling back to a final send when an ambiguous final edit failure would otherwise retain a strict prefix of the answer. Fixes #71525. (#71554) Thanks @sahilsatralkar.</li>
-<li>Control UI/chat: collapse assistant token/model context details behind an explicit Context disclosure and show full dates in message footers, making historical transcript timing clear without noisy default metadata. (#71337) Thanks @BunsDev.</li>
-<li>OpenAI/Codex OAuth: explain <code>unsupported_country_region_territory</code> token-exchange failures with a proxy/region hint instead of surfacing a generic OAuth error. Fixes #51175. (#71501) Thanks @vincentkoc and @wulala-xjj.</li>
-<li>Browser/Linux: fall back to headless mode for local managed profiles on hosts without a display server, while preserving explicit per-profile headed overrides and reporting the headless source. (#60953) Thanks @rrpsantos.</li>
-<li>Telegram: remove the startup persisted-offset <code>getUpdates</code> preflight so polling restarts do not self-conflict before the runner starts. Fixes #69304. (#69779) Thanks @chinar-amrutkar.</li>
-<li>Telegram: keep the polling stall watchdog active even when grammY reports the runner as not running while its task is still pending, so a rebuilt transport cannot leave <code>getUpdates</code> silent until a manual gateway restart. Fixes #69064. Thanks @LDLoeb.</li>
-<li>Subagents: fall back to direct completion delivery when the parent announce turn finishes without a visible payload, so child results still reach channel-backed requester sessions.</li>
-<li>Subagents: tell parent agents to use <code>sessions_yield</code> while waiting for child completion events, preventing GPT-5 fast runs from ending silently after spawning workers.</li>
-<li>Browser/Playwright: ignore benign already-handled route races during guarded navigation so browser-page tasks no longer fail when Playwright tears down a route mid-flight. (#68708) Thanks @Steady-ai.</li>
-<li>Browser/CLI: lazy-load browser command groups and plugin runtime services so <code>openclaw browser --help</code> can render without loading the full browser automation stack. Fixes #65400. (#65460, #66640) Thanks @pandego and @Tianworld.</li>
-<li>Browser/CLI: serve precomputed <code>openclaw browser --help</code> text from CLI startup metadata, avoiding the full plugin/config startup path for the common help invocation.</li>
-<li>Browser/downloads: seed managed Chrome profiles with OpenClaw download prefs and capture unmanaged click-triggered downloads under the guarded downloads directory, while explicit download waiters still own their target file. (#64558) Thanks @Pearcekieser.</li>
-<li>Browser/Chrome: stop passing redundant <code>--disable-setuid-sandbox</code> when <code>browser.noSandbox</code> is enabled; <code>--no-sandbox</code> remains the effective sandbox opt-out. (#67939) Thanks @sebykrueger.</li>
-<li>Browser/client: stop telling agents to permanently avoid the browser after transient timeout or cancellation failures; keep the no-retry hint for persistent unavailable/rate-limit cases. (#46505) Thanks @jriff.</li>
-<li>Browser/aria snapshots: bind <code>format=aria</code> <code>axN</code> refs to live DOM nodes through backend DOM ids when Playwright is available, so follow-up browser actions can use those refs without timing out. (#62434) Thanks @MrKipler.</li>
-<li>Telegram: prevent duplicate in-process long pollers for the same bot token and add clearer <code>getUpdates</code> conflict diagnostics for external duplicate pollers. Fixes #56230. Thanks @Co-Messi.</li>
-<li>Browser/Linux: detect Chromium-based installs under <code>/opt/google</code>, <code>/opt/brave.com</code>, <code>/usr/lib/chromium</code>, and <code>/usr/lib/chromium-browser</code> before asking users to set <code>browser.executablePath</code>. (#48563) Thanks @lupuletic.</li>
-<li>Sessions/browser: close tracked browser tabs when idle, daily, <code>/new</code>, or <code>/reset</code> session rollover archives the previous transcript, preventing tabs from leaking past the old session. Thanks @jakozloski.</li>
-<li>Sessions/forking: fall back to transcript-estimated parent token counts when cached totals are stale or missing, so oversized thread forks start fresh instead of cloning the full parent transcript. Thanks @jalehman.</li>
-<li>OpenAI/Codex: send Codex Responses system prompts through top-level <code>instructions</code> while preserving the existing native Codex payload controls.</li>
-<li>MCP/CLI: retire bundled MCP runtimes at the end of one-shot <code>openclaw agent</code> and <code>openclaw infer model run</code> gateway/local executions, so repeated scripted runs do not accumulate stdio MCP child processes. Fixes #71457. Thanks @spartoviMD.</li>
-<li>OpenAI/Codex image generation: canonicalize legacy <code>openai-codex.baseUrl</code> values such as <code>https://chatgpt.com/backend-api</code> to the Codex Responses backend before calling <code>gpt-image-2</code>, matching the chat transport. Fixes #71460. Thanks @GodsBoy.</li>
-<li>Control UI: make <code>/usage</code> use the fresh context snapshot for context percentage, and include cache-write tokens in the Usage overview cache-hit denominator. Fixes #47885. Thanks @imwyvern and @Ante042.</li>
-<li>GitHub Copilot: preserve encrypted Responses reasoning item IDs during replay so Copilot can validate encrypted reasoning payloads across requests. (#71448) Thanks @a410979729-sys.</li>
-<li>GitHub Copilot: never rewrite connection-bound reasoning item IDs regardless of whether <code>encrypted_content</code> is present, fixing a 400 "Encrypted content item_id did not match" error with <code>gpt-5.3-codex</code> and future Codex models that fall through to the forward-compat catch-all with <code>reasoning: false</code>. Also recognize Codex-named models as reasoning-capable so they inherit the correct capability flags. Refs #68735. Thanks @InvalidPandaa.</li>
-<li>Agents/replies: recover final-answer text when streamed assistant chunks contain only whitespace, preventing completed turns from surfacing as empty-payload errors. Fixes #71454. (#71467) Thanks @Sanjays2402.</li>
-<li>Feishu/TTS: transcode voice-intent MP3 and other audio replies to Ogg/Opus before sending native Feishu audio bubbles, while keeping ordinary MP3 attachments as files. Fixes #61249 and #37868. Thanks @sg1416-zg and @ycjlb2023-peteryi.</li>
-<li>WhatsApp/TTS: transcode MP3/WebM audio, including Microsoft Edge TTS output, to Ogg/Opus before sending PTT voice notes.</li>
-<li>QQBot/TTS: honor plain <code>audioAsVoice</code> replies by synthesizing TTS to native QQ voice messages, and mark inbound voice-only messages as audio media without exposing raw voice paths to generic media context.</li>
-<li>Providers/SenseAudio: add bundled SenseAudio batch audio transcription through <code>tools.media.audio</code> with <code>SENSEAUDIO_API_KEY</code> auth. (#66943) Thanks @Fl0rencess720.</li>
-<li>Providers/MiniMax: let TTS use MiniMax portal OAuth and Token Plan credentials before falling back to <code>MINIMAX_API_KEY</code>, and include current TTS HD model ids. Fixes #55017. Thanks @zx15210404690-hash.</li>
-<li>Telegram/webhook: acknowledge validated webhook updates before running bot middleware, keeping slow agent turns from tripping Telegram delivery retries while preserving per-chat processing lanes. Fixes #71392. Thanks @joelforsberg46-source.</li>
-<li>MCP/config reload: hot-apply <code>mcp.*</code> changes by disposing cached session MCP runtimes, and dispose bundled MCP runtimes during gateway shutdown so removed <code>mcp.servers</code> entries reap child processes promptly. Fixes #60656. Thanks @xieyuanqing.</li>
-<li>Active Memory: keep silent recall sub-agent billing/auth failures out of shared auth-profile cooldown state, so a Claude CLI extra-usage rejection cannot disable normal Claude-backed turns. Fixes #71284. (#71539) Thanks @vishutdhar and @obviyus.</li>
-<li>Auth/Claude CLI: sync refreshed Claude CLI OAuth credentials into the managed auth profile so long-running Claude CLI runs stop falling back to stale OpenClaw snapshots. (#70902) Thanks @starvex.</li>
-<li>Sessions: make <code>sessions_spawn(mode="session")</code> errors name usable alternatives when the current channel cannot bind subagent threads. Fixes #67400. (#67790) Thanks @stainlu.</li>
-<li>Agents/Claude CLI: pass the OpenClaw system prompt through Claude's prompt-file flag so Windows runs avoid argv length failures without changing system prompt semantics. Fixes #69158. (#69211) Thanks @skylee-01, @cassioanorte, @Syu0, and @Stache73.</li>
-<li>Agents/CLI sessions: bind <code>google-gemini-cli</code> session auth-epoch to the Google account identity in <code>~/.gemini/oauth_creds.json</code>, so Gemini-backed agents resume their conversation after gateway restart instead of minting a fresh session, and stale bindings are invalidated when the authenticated Google account changes. Fixes #70973. (#71076) Thanks @openperf.</li>
-<li>Slack: stop treating user mentions in assistant-authored message edit blocks as sender attribution, preventing edited bot messages from spoofing a mentioned DM user. (#71700) Thanks @vincentkoc.</li>
-<li>Codex: consume unauthorized bound conversation inbound claims before they can fall through to other claim handlers or enqueue Codex turns. (#71702) Thanks @vincentkoc.</li>
-<li>Codex media understanding: require approval-checked app-server image turns while explicitly declining tool, file, permission, and elicitation approval requests for the bounded image worker. (#71703) Thanks @vincentkoc.</li>
-<li>Agents/Claude CLI: allow large live <code>stream-json</code> JSONL lines up to the existing per-turn raw limit, preventing large Telegram, WebChat, MCP, and image turns from aborting on the old stdout buffer cap. Fixes #71793, #71080, and #70766. (#71897) Thanks @chacher86, @shivamgrover21, and @tpjordan.</li>
-<li>Agents/Claude CLI: unwrap nested Claude result envelopes in CLI JSON output so delegated agent responses surface as final text instead of raw result JSON. (#66819) Thanks @mraleko.</li>
-<li>Agents/Claude CLI: apply the configured 1M context window override to eligible Claude CLI Opus and Sonnet models when <code>context1m</code> is enabled. (#70863) Thanks @bidadh.</li>
-<li>Models/status: report fresh Claude CLI native auth instead of stale stored <code>anthropic:claude-cli</code> profile expiry when local credentials are current. Fixes #71256. (#71332) Thanks @matthiasjanke and @neeravmakwana.</li>
-<li>CLI backends: compact OpenClaw transcripts after over-budget CLI turns and reseed fresh CLI sessions from the compacted transcript instead of stale external resume state. Fixes #68329. (#71916) Thanks @obviyus.</li>
-<li>Telegram: keep default tool progress messages visible when answer preview streaming is disabled. (#71825) Thanks @VACInc.</li>
-<li>Configure/models: clear deselected model fallbacks when updating the model picker allowlist, including provider-scoped setup flows. (#71596) Thanks @rubencu.</li>
-<li>Agents/streaming: strip namespaced <code><antml:thinking></code> reasoning tags from streamed assistant replies before user-visible text is emitted. (#69288) Thanks @xialonglee.</li>

+- Codex CLI skill directories under `$CODEX_HOME/skills`, excluding Codex's
+  `.system` cache.
+- Personal AgentSkills under `$HOME/.agents/skills`, copied into the current
+  OpenClaw agent workspace when you want per-agent ownership.
+
+### Manual-review Codex state
+
+Codex native plugins, `config.toml`, and native `hooks/hooks.json` are not
+activated automatically. Plugins may expose MCP servers, apps, hooks, or other
+executable behavior, so the provider reports them for review instead of loading
+them into OpenClaw. Config and hook files are copied into the migration report
+for manual review.

 - `test:docker:all` builds the live Docker image once via `test:docker:live-build`, packs OpenClaw once as an npm tarball through `scripts/package-openclaw-for-docker.mjs`, then builds/reuses two `scripts/e2e/Dockerfile` images. The bare image is only the Node/Git runner for install/update/plugin-dependency lanes; those lanes mount the prebuilt tarball. The functional image installs the same tarball into `/app` for built-app functionality lanes. Docker lane definitions live in `scripts/lib/docker-e2e-scenarios.mjs`; planner logic lives in `scripts/lib/docker-e2e-plan.mjs`; `scripts/test-docker-all.mjs` executes the selected plan. The aggregate uses a weighted local scheduler: `OPENCLAW_DOCKER_ALL_PARALLELISM` controls process slots, while resource caps keep heavy live, npm-install, and multi-service lanes from all starting at once. If a single lane is heavier than the active caps, the scheduler can still start it when the pool is empty and then keeps it running alone until capacity is available again. Defaults are 10 slots, `OPENCLAW_DOCKER_ALL_LIVE_LIMIT=9`, `OPENCLAW_DOCKER_ALL_NPM_LIMIT=10`, and `OPENCLAW_DOCKER_ALL_SERVICE_LIMIT=7`; tune `OPENCLAW_DOCKER_ALL_WEIGHT_LIMIT` or `OPENCLAW_DOCKER_ALL_DOCKER_LIMIT` only when the Docker host has more headroom. The runner performs a Docker preflight by default, removes stale OpenClaw E2E containers, prints status every 30 seconds, stores successful lane timings in `.artifacts/docker-tests/lane-timings.json`, and uses those timings to start longer lanes first on later runs. Use `OPENCLAW_DOCKER_ALL_DRY_RUN=1` to print the weighted lane manifest without building or running Docker, or `node scripts/test-docker-all.mjs --plan-json` to print the CI plan for selected lanes, package/image needs, and credentials.

 - Build and release checks run `scripts/check-cli-bootstrap-imports.mjs` after tsdown. The guard walks the static built graph from `dist/entry.js` and `dist/cli/run-main.js` and fails if pre-dispatch startup imports package dependencies such as Commander, prompt UI, undici, or logging before command dispatch; it also keeps the bundled gateway run chunk under budget and rejects static imports of known cold gateway paths. Packaged CLI smoke also covers root help, onboard help, doctor help, status, config schema, and a model-list command.
 - Package Acceptance legacy compatibility is capped at `2026.4.25` (`2026.4.25-beta.*` included). Through that cutoff, the harness tolerates only shipped-package metadata gaps: omitted private QA inventory entries, missing `gateway install --wrapper`, missing patch files in the tarball-derived git fixture, missing persisted `update.channel`, legacy plugin install-record locations, missing marketplace install-record persistence, and config metadata migration during `plugins update`. For packages after `2026.4.25`, those paths are strict failures.
