fix: route media understanding through codex auth

 - Read dependency docs/source/types when the finding depends on external behavior.
 - Reject unrealistic edge cases, speculative risks, broad rewrites, and fixes that over-complicate the codebase.
 - Prefer small fixes at the right ownership boundary; no refactor unless it clearly improves the bug class.
-- When an accepted finding shows a bug class or repeated pattern, inspect the current PR scope for sibling instances before fixing.
-- Fix the scoped bug class at once when practical; stop at touched surfaces, owner boundaries, and clear follow-up territory.
 - Keep going until structured review returns no accepted/actionable findings.
 - If a review-triggered fix changes code, rerun focused tests and rerun the structured review helper.
 - For security-audit suppression changes, verify accepted findings remain auditable: suppressed findings stay in structured output, active output keeps an unsuppressible suppression notice, and aggregate findings cannot hide unrelated active risk.

 Tradeoff: tests may force code changes that stale the review. If tests or review lead to code edits, rerun the affected tests and rerun review until no accepted/actionable findings remain. Once that rerun exits cleanly, stop; do not spend another long review cycle on redundant confirmation.

 # Discrawl
 
-Use local Discord archive data first for Discord questions. Hit Discord APIs

-for current external context.
-
-## Sources
-
-- DB: platform-native XDG data dir, usually
-  `${XDG_DATA_HOME:-~/.local/share}/discrawl/discrawl.db` on Linux or
-  `~/Library/Application Support/discrawl/discrawl.db` on macOS
-- Config: platform-native XDG config dir, with legacy fallback to

-- Cache: platform-native XDG cache dir
-- Logs: platform-native XDG state dir
-- Git share repo: platform-native XDG data dir
-- Repo: `openclaw/discrawl`; use `~/GIT/_Perso/discrawl` only after verifying
-  its remote targets `openclaw/discrawl`, otherwise use a fresh checkout
-- Preferred CLI: `discrawl`; fallback to `go run ./cmd/discrawl` from the repo
-  if the installed binary is stale

-

+Use local Discord archive data before live Discord APIs. Check freshness for recent/current questions:

 discrawl doctor
 ```
 
-Desktop-local refresh:
+Refresh only when stale or asked:
 
 ```bash
 discrawl sync --source wiretap
-```
-
-Bot API latest refresh, when credentials are available:
-
-```bash
 discrawl sync
 ```
 
-Use `--full` only for deliberate historical backfills:
-
-```bash
-discrawl sync --full
-```
-
-If SQLite reports busy/locked, check for stray `discrawl` processes before retrying.
-
-## Query Workflow
-
-1. Resolve scope: guild, channel, DM, author, keyword, date range.
-2. Check freshness for recent/current requests.
-3. Prefer CLI search/messages for slices; use read-only SQL for exact counts.
-4. Report absolute date spans, counts, channel/DM names, and known gaps.
-
-Use root or subcommand help for syntax: `discrawl --help`,
-`discrawl help search`, `discrawl search --help`. Use
-`DISCRAWL_NO_AUTO_UPDATE=1` for read smokes when you do not want git-share
-updates.
-
-Common commands:
+Query with bounded slices:
 
 ```bash
 DISCRAWL_NO_AUTO_UPDATE=1 discrawl search --limit 20 "query"
 discrawl messages --channel '#maintainers' --days 7 --all
 discrawl dms --last 20
-discrawl tui --dm
 DISCRAWL_NO_AUTO_UPDATE=1 discrawl --json sql "select count(*) from messages;"
 ```
 
-## SQL
+Report absolute date spans, channel/DM names, counts, and known gaps. Use read-only SQL for exact counts/rankings. Never use `--unsafe --confirm` unless the user explicitly requests a reviewed DB mutation.
 
-Use `discrawl sql` for exact counts, joins, and ranking queries when normal
-CLI reads are too coarse. The command is read-only by default, accepts SQL as
-args or stdin, and supports `--json` for agent parsing.
-
-Useful examples:
-
-```bash
-DISCRAWL_NO_AUTO_UPDATE=1 discrawl --json sql "select count(*) as messages from messages;"
-DISCRAWL_NO_AUTO_UPDATE=1 discrawl --json sql "select coalesce(nullif(c.name, ''), m.channel_id) as channel, count(*) as messages from messages m left join channels c on c.id = m.channel_id group by m.channel_id order by messages desc limit 20;"
-DISCRAWL_NO_AUTO_UPDATE=1 discrawl --json sql "select coalesce(nullif(mm.display_name, ''), nullif(mm.global_name, ''), nullif(mm.username, ''), m.author_id) as author, count(*) as messages from messages m left join members mm on mm.guild_id = m.guild_id and mm.user_id = m.author_id group by m.guild_id, m.author_id order by messages desc limit 20;"
-```
-
-Never use `--unsafe --confirm` unless the user explicitly asks for a database
-mutation and the write has been reviewed.
-
-When the installed CLI lacks a new feature, build or run from a verified
-`openclaw/discrawl` checkout before concluding the feature is missing.
-
-## Discord Boundaries
-
-Bot API sync requires configured Discord bot credentials; do not invent token
-availability. Desktop wiretap mode reads local Discord Desktop artifacts and
-must not extract credentials, use user tokens, call Discord as the user, or
-write to Discord application storage. Wiretap/Desktop cache DMs are local-only
-and must not be described as part of the published Git snapshot. Git-share
-snapshots must not include secrets or `@me` DM rows.
-
-## Verification
-
-For repo edits, prefer existing Go gates:
-
-```bash
-GOWORK=off go test ./...
-```
-
-Then run targeted CLI smoke for the touched surface, for example:
-
-```bash
-discrawl doctor
-discrawl status --json
-DISCRAWL_NO_AUTO_UPDATE=1 discrawl search --limit 5 "test"
-```
-
-## ClawSweeper Sandbox
-
-Use the sandbox reader only:
-
-```bash
-discrawl-sandbox search --limit 20 "query"
-discrawl-sandbox messages --channel clawtributors --days 7 --all
-discrawl-sandbox status --json
-```
-
-This reader imports `https://github.com/openclaw/discord-store.git` into
-`/root/clawsweeper-sandbox-workspace/.discrawl/discrawl.db` with
-`discord.token_source = "none"`. The published Git snapshot is public-channel
-filtered; do not use `/root/.discrawl/config.toml` or the rich writer DB from
-sandboxed public Discord sessions.
+Boundaries: bot sync needs configured Discord bot credentials. Wiretap reads local Discord Desktop artifacts only; do not extract user tokens, call Discord as the user, or write to Discord storage. Git-share snapshots must not include secrets or `@me` DM rows.

 - For large-codebase PRs, sample enough related files to understand the runtime boundary before deciding. Default to more code reading when the change touches agents, gateway, plugins, auth, sessions, process, config, or provider/runtime seams.
 - Compare the PR against current `origin/main` behavior. Check whether recent main already changed the same surface.
 - Dependency-backed behavior: MUST read upstream docs/source/types before judging API use, defaults, output shapes, errors, timeouts, memory behavior, or compatibility. Do not assume dependency contracts from memory or PR text.
 - Judge solution quality, not only correctness. Ask whether the PR is the clean owner-boundary fix or a wart/workaround that should be replaced by a small refactor, moved seam, contract change, or deletion of duplicate logic.
 - Mention the main files read when the verdict depends on code-path evidence.

-
-- `Best-fix verdict:` best / acceptable mitigation / wrong layer / too narrow / too broad.
-- `Alternatives considered:` 1-3 concrete alternatives and why rejected.
-- `Code read:` compact list of main files/contracts checked.
-- `Remaining uncertainty:` what was not proven.

----
-
-# OpenClaw Release Announcement
-
-Use with `release-openclaw-maintainer` after a beta or stable release is live.
-Use with `openclaw-discord` when actually posting to Discord.
-
-## Evidence First
-
-Before drafting focus areas, read real release evidence:
-
-1. Current GitHub release body for the tag.
-2. `CHANGELOG.md` section for the released base version.
-3. Commits since the previous shipped version or the operator-specified base.
-4. Registry/package metadata for the exact version and current dist-tag.
-5. Validation status that is relevant to user confidence.
-
-Do not claim a full changelog audit unless you did it. If you only read the
-generated release notes or top changelog section, say that and either audit
-properly or draft with that limitation.
-
-For beta focus areas, prioritize user-observable changes over internal test or
-CI mechanics:
-
-- install/update paths
-- OS/platform-specific behavior
-- Gateway startup/restart, config, and runtime behavior
-- provider/model/runtime routing
-- plugin loading and local plugin development
-- channels and media paths
-- security/data-loss/user-impact fixes
-
-Do not let late release-branch fixes automatically dominate the announcement.
-If the version includes a large delta from the previous shipped version, rank
-focus areas by the whole release delta and expected user impact; mention late
-fixes in their natural category.
-
-## Required Copy
-
-Every beta announcement must make beta status explicit and include:
-
-- exact version, e.g. `OpenClaw 2026.5.25-beta.1`
-- one-sentence risk framing: beta, useful for testing, not stable promotion
-- focused test areas derived from evidence, not guesswork
-- update command promoted near the top:
-  ```sh
-  openclaw update --channel beta --yes
-  openclaw --version
-  ```
-- fresh install path:
-  `Install from https://openclaw.ai`
-- GitHub release link
-- concise validation note, without making CI the headline
-
-Do not suggest npm install commands in beta announcements unless the operator
-explicitly asks for npm-specific copy or troubleshooting text. It is fine to use
-registry metadata as evidence; do not turn that into public install guidance.
-
-For stable announcements, use the stable channel wording:
-
-```sh
-openclaw update --channel stable --yes
-openclaw --version
-```
-
-Fresh installs still point to `https://openclaw.ai`.
-
-## Style
-
-- Discord Markdown, no tables.
-- Keep it skimmable: short intro, bullets, commands, links.
-- Lead with what users can feel or test, not proof plumbing.
-- Mention validation only after install/update instructions.
-- Be specific about where feedback is useful.
-- Do not mention private local proof paths in public announcements.
-- Do not overstate unverified platforms, channels, or provider behavior.
-
-## Posting
-
-When asked to post, use the configured Discord workflow from
-`openclaw-discord` or the approved OpenClaw relay. Never print tokens.
-For public channels, inspect the final body before sending.

 - Do not change version numbers without explicit operator approval.
-- Versions use `YYYY.M.PATCH`, where `PATCH` is the sequential release-train number within the month, not the calendar day.
-- Choose a new beta train from stable and beta releases only. Alpha-only tags do not consume or advance the beta/stable patch number.

 - This skill should be sufficient to drive the normal release flow end-to-end.
 - Use the private maintainer release docs for credentials, recovery steps, and mac signing/notary specifics, and use `docs/reference/RELEASING.md` for public policy.

-1. GitHub release:
-   - `gh release view v<VERSION> --repo openclaw/openclaw --json tagName,name,publishedAt,isDraft,isPrerelease,targetCommitish,url,body,assets`
-   - Confirm stable releases are not draft/prerelease.
-   - Confirm release body has npm, CI, plugin npm, ClawHub, mac/appcast evidence
-     links when expected.
-   - Confirm assets expected for stable mac releases are uploaded: zip, dmg,
-     dSYM, dependency evidence when present.
-2. Root npm:
-   - `npm view openclaw@<VERSION> version dist-tags.latest dist.tarball dist.integrity time.<VERSION> --json`
-   - `latest` must equal `<VERSION>` for stable.
-   - Record tarball, integrity, publish time.
-3. Plugin publish set:
-   - Get exact tag metadata from GitHub, not the local checkout when dirty:
-     download `https://api.github.com/repos/openclaw/openclaw/tarball/v<VERSION>`
-     into `/tmp/openclaw-v<VERSION>-src`.
-   - Count `extensions/*/package.json` with
-     `openclaw.release.publishToNpm === true` and
-     `openclaw.release.publishToClawHub === true`.
-   - Compare expected counts to workflow job counts:
-     `gh api repos/openclaw/openclaw/actions/runs/<RUN>/jobs --paginate`.
-   - Each expected npm plugin must have version `<VERSION>` and
-     `dist-tags.latest === <VERSION>`.
-4. ClawHub:
-   - Check the Plugin ClawHub Release workflow conclusion and publish job count.
-   - Use OpenClaw itself for live registry proof:
-     `openclaw plugins search <known-plugin> --json`.
-   - Install one official plugin from ClawHub in an isolated HOME:
-     `openclaw plugins install clawhub:@openclaw/matrix --pin`.
-     Prefer `matrix` unless that plugin is not in the expected set.
-5. Release workflows:
-   - Verify conclusions for release notes evidence links:
-     Full Release Validation, OpenClaw Release Checks, OpenClaw NPM Release,
-     Plugin NPM Release, Plugin ClawHub Release, mac preflight/validation/publish
-     when stable mac assets are expected.
-   - Summarize only relevant successful/failed jobs; ignore routine skipped
-     optional lanes unless the release body promised them.
-6. Published package smoke:
-   - In `/tmp`, isolated HOME:
-     `npm exec --yes --package openclaw@<VERSION> -- openclaw --version`.
-   - Run at least one harmless command that touches the published CLI surface,
-     for example `plugins --help` or `gateway --help`.
-7. Dev Gateway live model smoke:
-   - Use temp HOME/workspace, not the user's normal state:
-     `HOME=/tmp/openclaw-release-smoke/home OPENCLAW_WORKSPACE=/tmp/openclaw-release-smoke/work pnpm openclaw --dev gateway run --auth none --force --verbose`.
-   - Health check via CLI: `openclaw --dev gateway health --json`.
-   - Run one Gateway-backed agent turn with inherited `OPENAI_API_KEY`, short
-     prompt, explicit session key, JSON output, and a known-available model.
-   - If the configured default model fails as unavailable, record that caveat
-     and retry with the newest known-good OpenAI model instead of declaring the
-     release failed.
-   - Stop the gateway and verify the port is not listening.
-
-## Caveats To Report
-
-- Dist-tag caveat: stable `latest` is release truth; if optional `beta` mirrors
-  still point at a beta version, report it as a caveat, not a stable-release
-  blocker, unless the user asked to verify beta promotion.
-- Divergent checkout caveat: say when local source SHA differs from release tag
-  or origin and which live sources were used instead.
-- Smoke caveat: distinguish Gateway-backed agent success from local embedded
-  fallback. A valid Gateway smoke has health OK plus gateway log/run id for the
-  agent call.

 - Replies: repo-root refs only: `extensions/telegram/src/index.ts:80`. No absolute paths, no `~/`.
 - Docs/user-visible work: `pnpm docs:list`, then read relevant docs only.
 - Fix/triage answers need source, tests, current/shipped behavior, and dependency contract proof.
-- Reviews/answers: high confidence required. Default to exhaustive relevant codebase search/read, including owners, callers, siblings, tests, docs, and upstream/dependency contracts before verdict. Diff-only review is insufficient.
-- Review default: read the whole changed function/module plus callers, callees, sibling implementations, adjacent tests, scoped docs, and dependency/Codex contracts before saying `good`, `bad`, `best fix`, `proof sufficient`, or posting a comment. If challenged, keep reading first; do not defend the earlier verdict until the missing path is checked.
-- Dependency-touching work: direct dependency inspection is mandatory when feasible; do not rely on assumptions, wrappers, or memory. Most dependencies are OSS, so read their source/docs/types. Codex-related work has a hard gate: the acting agent must personally inspect sibling `../codex` source for the exact protocol/runtime behavior before any verdict, comment, approval, merge recommendation, code change, or `proof sufficient` claim. If missing, clone `https://github.com/openai/codex.git` there first. Subagent reports, PR text, OpenClaw wrappers, generated schemas, memory, and prior bot reviews do not satisfy this gate. No direct `../codex` check means no Codex verdict. Cite Codex files/lines checked in final/review/comment.
 - Dependency-backed behavior: read upstream docs/source/types first. No API/default/error/timing guesses.
-- External API work: live test required. Google/search for additional proof. Prefer official docs/source/types; cite current proof. No memory-only API claims.
 - Live-verify when feasible. Never print secrets.
 - Missing deps: `pnpm install`, retry once, then report first actionable error.
 - CODEOWNERS: maint/refactor/tests ok. Larger behavior/product/security/ownership: owner ask/review.

 - Plugin APIs, provider routing, auth/session state, persisted preferences, config loading, config/default additions, migrations, setup, startup checks, and fallback behavior are compatibility/upgrade-sensitive. Treat config breaks, new config/default surfaces, removed fallbacks, fail-closed changes, stricter validation, or new operator action as merge risk even with green CI when they can affect existing users, upgrades, provider/plugin behavior, or maintainer operations.
 - For PRs that add, remove, or change config/default surfaces with possible compatibility, upgrade, provider/plugin, operator, setup, startup, or fallback impact, ClawSweeper review should emit a `reviewMetrics` entry when practical. The metric should name the count and direction of the changes, such as added, changed, or removed config/default surfaces, and explain why the metric matters before merge. When the metric indicates concrete merge risk, also surface the concern in `risks`, use `mergeRiskLabels` when the risk matches the label rubric, make `bestSolution` name the desired pre-merge state, and ensure `labelJustifications` explain the specific reason rather than restating the label.
 - Review whole decision surfaces, not only the touched runtime, provider, channel, harness, plugin seam, or context path. Check sibling Codex/Pi-style runtimes, provider/model routing, channel delivery, gateway/protocol, plugin SDK, and context-management paths when relevant.
-- Every PR review must explicitly ask whether the PR is the best fix, not merely a plausible fix. Verdicts need a best-fix judgment backed by enough code reading to compare owner boundaries, callers, siblings, tests, docs, current `main`, shipped behavior when relevant, and dependency/Codex contracts when involved.
-- Before a PR verdict, build a small evidence map: changed surface, entry point, owner boundary, at least one caller and callee, sibling surfaces that share the invariant, existing tests, and current `main` behavior. If any cell is missing, say the gap instead of concluding.
 - One-sided fixes need sibling-surface proof, an explanation for why siblings are unaffected, or explicit follow-up work.
 - Changelog findings: see Docs / Changelog.
 - Public ClawSweeper comments prefer `https://docs.openclaw.ai/...` when a public docs page exists; structured evidence still cites repo files, lines, SHAs.

-- OpenAI Codex is folded into `openai`. No new/live `openai-codex` provider/plugin/auth/model routes; treat them as legacy input only. Runtime/setup/auth/catalog use `openai` + `openai/*`; doctor/migrations repair stale `openai-codex/*` profiles/metadata.
-- Config/env surface bar is high; `openclaw.json` and environment variables are already large. Before adding a config option or env var, first prove existing product behavior, provider selection, defaults, or doctor migration cannot solve it. Prefer removing or consolidating config/env options when touching these surfaces. Core supports only the latest config shape; `openclaw doctor --fix` migrates older shipped shapes into the current one.
-- CLI setup flows are public API when external docs, installers, or integrations can copy them. Changes to `openclaw onboard`, `openclaw configure`, their documented flags, non-interactive behavior, or generated config shape are compatibility-sensitive API contract changes; prefer additive flags/aliases, deprecation windows, and backward-preserving migrations over breaking existing snippets.
 - Fix shape: default to clean bounded refactor, not smallest patch. Move ownership to right boundary; delete stale abstractions, duplicate policy, dead branches, wrappers, fallback stacks.
 - Fix observed local failures with generic product rules; do not hardcode names, ids, log phrases, or user examples in prod code unless they are an explicit contract.
 - Tests may use observed examples, but prod literals need a short contract reason.
 - Compatibility is opt-in. "Shipped" means reachable from a release Git tag; main/GitHub/PR/unreleased code is not shipped.
 - Refactor default: one canonical path. Delete the old path unless user explicitly wants compat or the shipped public contract is obvious and cited.
-- Core runtime consumes only current canonical shapes/config/data. Legacy or retired shapes normalize only in doctor/migration code before runtime; no runtime shims, aliases, or fallback readers.
-- State/storage migrations are database-first. Runtime reads/writes the canonical store only. Old file stores, sidecars, aliases, and fallback readers belong in `openclaw doctor --fix` migration code only, never steady-state runtime.
-- Storage default: SQLite only. Do not add JSON/JSONL/TXT/sidecar files for OpenClaw-owned runtime state, caches, queues, registries, indexes, cursors, checkpoints, or plugin scratch data.
-- SQLite runtime access uses Kysely helpers, not raw SQL statement strings, except schema DDL, migrations, low-level DB bootstrap, or narrowly justified SQLite primitives.
-- Use the shared state DB (`state/openclaw.sqlite`) for global runtime state and plugin KV data. Use the per-agent DB (`agents/<agentId>/agent/openclaw-agent.sqlite`) for agent-scoped state/cache. Use a dedicated SQLite DB only when schema, volume, or lifecycle clearly does not fit those stores.
-- Legacy state/cache files are migration debt. When touching code that reads/writes them, prefer moving the data into SQLite or calling out the refactor follow-up; do not add parallel file paths.
-- File storage must be a named product artifact: import/export, user attachment, log, backup, or external tool contract. If it is app state or cache, it belongs in SQLite.
-- Before adding any path under state dirs, choose one: shared state DB, plugin KV, agent DB, or dedicated SQLite schema. If none fits, design the SQLite owner/schema first.
-- Cache/transient state gets no compat migration unless a shipped user contract is cited. Prefer delete/drop/rebuild over import. If old state can be lost without user-visible data loss, remove the old path entirely.
-- Persistent user state gets one migration owner. Doctor migrates, verifies, and then runtime assumes the new shape. No dual-write, read-through fallback, lazy import, or "if SQLite fails use JSON" branches.
-- Fallback is a product decision, not an implementation convenience. Before adding one, name the shipped contract, failure mode, removal plan, and why doctor cannot solve it. Otherwise delete it.
 - Keep old behavior only for an explicit public API/config/plugin SDK/data contract, tagged upgrade path, security/migration boundary, dependency contract, or observed prod state.
 - If unsure, ask before preserving compat. Do not keep aliases, shims, fallback stacks, stale names, or obsolete tests just in case.
 - Tests alone do not make internals contracts. If compat stays, name the contract and migration/removal plan in code, test, or PR.

(#85823, #89659, #91684, #91649, #90263, #91686, #90426) Thanks @itsuzef, @ladygege, @jacobtomlinson, @fuller-stack-dev, and @shushushv.
-- Cron: cancel active task runs cleanly, preserve terminal timeout/cancel state, and recover no-deliver tool warnings instead of silently losing the outcome. (#90666, #90678) Thanks @ai-hpc.
-- Gateway/config/auth: share the approval runtime socket token, replace arrays explicitly in `config.patch`, skip the deleted-agent guard only for valid ACP harness sessions, surface headless LaunchAgent state, verify SQLite auth migration before cleanup, and arm QMD startup maintenance. (#87105, #91551, #91219, #91614, #91740, #91978) Thanks @fuller-stack-dev and @scotthuang.
-- Providers/Codex: clarify quota errors, restore the Codex synthetic usage line, canonicalize Codex protocol assets, require API-key auth for realtime voice, normalize ACP model refs, preserve Gemma 4 `reasoning_content`, and avoid guardian review for local models. (#91390, #91709, #91507, #91567, #88630, #91696) Thanks @hxy91819, @brokemac79, @RomneyDa, @joshavant, and @Coder-Wangyankun.
-- Updates/builds: recover package Gateway restarts after refresh failure, expose plugin convergence repair, fall back to Corepack in PATH-less pnpm environments, seed the correct Docker store packages, and keep ClawHub dry-run and publish paths reusable. (#91581, #91599, #91547, #91591) Thanks @fuller-stack-dev, @sallyom, and @Patrick-Erichsen.
-- UI: require explicit user intent before opening chat sessions and drain restored chat queues after session switches. (#91480) Thanks @TurboTheTurtle.
-- Android: avoid the `dataSync` foreground-service type for persistent nodes. (#80082) Thanks @davelutztx.
-- Native hooks: bound relay lifetimes so abandoned native hook connections cannot linger indefinitely. (#91550) Thanks @joshavant.

-## 2026.6.5
-
-### Highlights
-
-- QQBot now strips model reasoning/thinking scaffolding before native delivery, preventing raw `<thinking>` content from leaking into channel replies. (#89913, #90132) Thanks @openperf.
-- MCP tool results now coerce `resource_link`, `resource`, `audio`, malformed image, and future non-text/image blocks at the materialize boundary, preventing Anthropic 400s and poisoned session history after a tool returns richer MCP content. (#90710, #90728) Thanks @RanSHammer and @849261680.
-- Anthropic extended-thinking sessions recover after prompt-cache expiry or Gateway restart because stream start events wait for `message_start`, letting pre-generation signature errors trigger the existing recovery retry. (#90667, #90697) Thanks @openperf.
-- Parallel is now a bundled `web_search` provider with `PARALLEL_API_KEY` discovery, guarded endpoint handling, cache-safe session ids, onboarding picker support, and docs. (#85158) Thanks @NormallyGaussian.
-- Google Vertex ADC users get static catalog rows and runtime model resolution again, while single-provider cooldown recovery and memory adapter status checks are more reliable. (#90506, #90609, #90717, #90816) Thanks @849261680.
-- Matrix can preflight voice notes before mention gating, preserve thread reads/replies through Matrix relations pagination, and carry QA coverage for voice and thread flows. (#78016, #90415)
-- Auth and plugin install state is more durable: auth profiles now live in SQLite, official npm plugin install records keep their trusted pins, and prerelease fallback integrity checks avoid carrying stale integrity forward. (#89102, #88585)
-- macOS node mode no longer silently self-reconnects away from a healthy direct Gateway session, reducing unexpected companion app session churn. (#90668, #90815) Thanks @vrurg.
-- Upgrade and service paths are safer: cron legacy JSON stores migrate during doctor preflight, service env placeholders no longer mask state-dir secrets, WhatsApp startup waits are bounded, and disabled WhatsApp accounts tear down on config reload. (#90072, #90208, #90277, #90488, #90486, #87951, #87965) Thanks @MonkeyLeeT, @sallyom, @mcaxtr, and @MukundaKatta.

-### Changes
-
-- Search/providers: add the Parallel bundled web-search plugin, live provider tests, registration contracts, onboarding/docs wiring, and guarded `api.parallel.ai/v1/search` support. (#85158) Thanks @NormallyGaussian.
-- Matrix/channels: add voice-message preflight and thread-aware read/reply behavior, including Matrix QA scenario wiring and docs for voice-message behavior. (#78016, #90415)

-- Google Chat/channels: add native approval card actions and click handling so Google Chat approvals use platform-native cards instead of generic message flow.
-- Mobile: Android provider/model screens now surface expiring, unavailable, unresolved, and attention states more clearly, while iOS settings and Talk tabs keep diagnostics, gateway rows, attachment labels, and unavailable Talk controls reachable.
-- Memory: QMD search can use the new rerank toggle, and memory adapter status uses the resolved default model identity when checking plain status. (#61834)
-- Docs/tooling: add Parallel search docs, refresh weather-skill guidance toward `web_fetch`, clarify legacy `openai-codex` auth, document release/test helper scripts, and tighten changed-test routing docs for CI/debugging work. (#90028, #90250) Thanks @fuller-stack-dev.
-- Release/process: switch release trains to `YYYY.M.PATCH` monthly patch numbering, keep pre-transition tags compatible, and pin the June 2026 floor at `2026.6.5` after the published beta.
-- Platform maintenance: refresh Android, Swift/macOS, Docker, CodeQL, Buildx, Docker build/push, and Codex Action dependencies for this release train. (#74980, #81757, #86481, #86483, #90601)
-- QQBot: add `/bot-group-allways on|off` slash command (with named-account and default-account support) to toggle whether group messages require an `@mention` before the bot replies, and clear the runtime config snapshot after the write so the new account-level `defaultRequireMention` takes effect immediately without restart. (#91423) Thanks @cxyhhhhh.
-
-### Fixes
-
-- Agents: `sessions_send` now honors an explicit `sessionKey` when stale label metadata is also present, and denied session-id sends no longer echo the resolved canonical session key. Fixes #64699; refs #74009 and #41199. Thanks @Mintalix, @RevisitMoon, and @Mocha-s.
-- Channel content boundaries: QQBot now strips reasoning/thinking tags before sending, preserving final answers while hiding internal model narration from users. (#89913, #90132) Thanks @openperf.
-- Agents/MCP/providers: coerce non-text/image MCP tool-result blocks before they reach provider converters, preserving valid images and turning richer MCP content into text instead of malformed image blocks. (#90710, #90728) Thanks @RanSHammer and @849261680.
-- Anthropic/Codex/ACP/agent recovery: defer Anthropic stream start events until `message_start`, strip stale compaction thinking signatures before Anthropic replay, detect unsigned thinking-only stalls, refresh prompt fences after compaction writes, reject empty completion handoffs, preserve parent streaming-off overrides/shared progress commentary, forward heartbeat metadata to context-engine hooks, and cover Codex session/thread migration edge cases. (#90667, #90697, #90163, #90108, #89874, #89505, #90632, #89302, #90729, #90317, #90319) Thanks @openperf, @100yenadmin, and @ooiuuii.
-- Provider/model resolution: preserve Google Vertex ADC auth markers in generated catalogs, re-probe a single-provider primary after cooldown, share Codex model visibility, fail closed for unknown model auth, preserve Codex alias availability, keep unresolved profile refs unknown, and avoid resolving auth while listing models. (#90506, #90609, #90717, #90702) Thanks @849261680.
-- Gateway/macOS/mobile: avoid duplicate Gateway probe warnings by identity, rate-limit node pairing requests while preserving paired-node reconnects, keep macOS node mode on a healthy direct Gateway session, keep iOS diagnostics and gateway rows reachable, and avoid Linux ARM Gradle resource tasks during Android builds. (#85791, #90147, #90668, #90815) Thanks @giodl73-repo and @vrurg.
-- TUI/chat/Workboard/auto-reply: optimistic user messages stay stable across stale history reloads, runId reassignment, and abort windows instead of disappearing, jumping, or lingering as ghost rows; Workboard stale lifecycle bulk updates no longer overwrite newer status/provenance; message-tool sends now count as delivery. (#86205, #89600, #88592, #90123) Thanks @RomneyDa.
-- Cron/update/service env: doctor config preflight now migrates legacy cron JSON stores into SQLite before runtime reads, service env planning skips unresolved placeholders that would mask state-dir `.env` values, and session transcript rewrites keep registry markers/discriminants consistent. (#90072, #90208, #90277, #90488) Thanks @MonkeyLeeT and @sallyom.
-- Security/config/tooling: guard MCP HTTP redirects, protect global agent config defaults, and keep release/test/tooling proof failures bounded and explicit. (#89732, #90145)
-- Channels: WhatsApp restarts when per-account config changes, bounds background startup waits, closes failed sockets, and preserves reconnect behavior; Mattermost slash commands keep their state on `globalThis`; Feishu streaming cards preserve full merged content; voice-call tracks Twilio streams after connect; ClickClack reply tools respect `toolsAllow`. (#87951, #87965, #90486, #68113, #90534, #90181, #90607, #89500) Thanks @MukundaKatta, @mcaxtr, @infoanton, @mushuiyu886, and @sahibzada-allahyar.
-- Feishu: retry transient send rate-limit errors (HTTP 429, per-chat code 230020, tenant-level code 11232) with linear backoff, including SDK responses that fulfill with rate-limit bodies instead of throwing, and route streaming-card sends through the retry wrapper. (#89659) Thanks @ladygege.
-- Release/CI/E2E: main CI guard drift, PR merge diff scoping, live Docker credential staging, base-image qualification, installer Docker classification, Playwright dependency install recovery, API-key auth for Codex live Docker lanes, Parallels option terminators, and JSON-mode progress handling are tighter so release proof fails cleaner. (#90532, #90287, #90058) Thanks @RomneyDa, @hxy91819, and @mrunalp.
-- Release/CI/E2E: Docker E2E and live Docker harness runs now apply default memory, CPU, and process ceilings while preserving explicit per-lane overrides.
-- Release/CI/E2E: plugin lifecycle matrix resource sampling now fails phases that exceed RSS, wall-clock, or CPU ceilings instead of only logging the measurements.
-- Release/CI/E2E: Codex npm plugin live assertions now cap transcript discovery and diagnostic log reads so failure proof stays bounded.
-- Memory: keep doctor REM harness previews aligned with live REM by dropping short-term recall snippets whose source files disappeared before rendering preview output. Thanks @samzong and @frankekn.
-- Tests/state isolation: QA Lab valid-tool-call metrics now require runtime tool-call evidence when runtime parity data is available instead of counting tool-backed scenario pass status alone.
-- Tests/state isolation: QA Lab runtime parity now fails planned-only tool-call rows without matching tool results instead of treating matching mock plans as real tool evidence.
-- Tests/state isolation: provider, media, auth, cron, task, session, sandbox, Gateway, and Codex timeout fixtures now scope more home/state/env data per test, reducing cross-test leakage and making release validation failures less noisy. (#90027, #89974)

-## 2026.6.2
-
-### Highlights
-
-- Plugin and skill installs now use an operator install policy instead of the old dangerous-code scanner path, with clearer doctor, CLI, ClawHub, and troubleshooting surfaces for package, archive, source, upload, and marketplace installs. (#89516) Thanks @joshavant.
-- Telegram, Feishu, Discord, WhatsApp, and outbound delivery paths got safer around duplicate transcript mirrors, Telegram admin writeback, streamed-final previews, approval allowlists, setup runtime state, poll modifiers, Discord voice errors, and internal progress traces. (#88973, #89626, #89812, #89035, #89814, #89813, #89601) Thanks @pgondhi987, @Petru2224, @zhangguiping-xydt, @codezz, and @takhoffman.
-- Chat, Control UI, Skill Workshop, Workboard, Android companion shell, and WebChat flows now preserve visible streaming text, reconcile completed sends, expose ACK timing, add Workboard keyboard movement, harden dialog accessibility, lazy-load usage views, keep current chat toggles working, and improve Android companion-first shell navigation. (#89801, #89777, #89802) Thanks @vincentkoc.
-- Security, policy, and config recovery now reject corrupt shell snapshots, unsupported policy keys, unsafe exec approval precheck environments, malformed script limits, and suspicious gateway startup configs while adding data-handling conformance checks. (#89701, #87074, #81488, #87056, #89480) Thanks @RomneyDa, @giodl73-repo, and @mmaps.
-- Gateway, agent, Codex, provider, model, and memory paths now recover session write-lock release failures, abandoned Codex app-server startups, stream-to-parent ACP spawns, custom-provider runtime fanout, bundled provider aliases, prompt-cache boundaries, Gemini stop sequences, Kimi cache markers, and watcher pressure warnings. (#89811, #89244) Thanks @RomneyDa and @takhoffman.
-- Release, CI, Docker, Crabbox/Testbox, package, and E2E validation lanes now bound more network calls, malformed numeric limits, process groups, cleanup leaks, package hydration paths, Windows installer publishing, release asset verification, and log drains so failures produce bounded proof instead of hanging.
-
-### Changes
-

(#89626, #89812, #89601) Thanks @Petru2224, @codezz, and @takhoffman.
-- Telegram/Feishu: require admin rights for Telegram target writeback, keep Telegram DM exec approval allowlists working with `ask:off`, prevent Telegram preview duplication across streaming modes, isolate verbose status after streamed finals, cancel clean restart stop timers, slow polling restart storms, and wire Feishu setup runtime setters. (#88973, #89035, #89813, #89814) Thanks @pgondhi987, @zhangguiping-xydt, and @takhoffman.
-- Feishu: preserve full streaming card content by sending the merged text on each update instead of only the latest delta, so card readers see complete output when intermediate frames are missed. (#90181) Thanks @mushuiyu886.
-- Chat/UI/Gateway: preserve visible chat stream text, clear stale stream buffers before terminal commits, reconcile completed sends, scroll pending sends into view, harden Workboard dialog accessibility, stabilize WebChat prompt-cache affinity, overlap chat catalog startup, render chat history incrementally, lazy-load usage dashboard, and report gateway health auth diagnostics. (#89337) Thanks @RomneyDa.
-- Agents/Codex/providers/models: release session write locks when prompt-release fence reads fail, retire abandoned Codex app-server startups, keep stream-to-parent ACP spawns registered, close Codex startup clients on timeout, recover bundled provider aliases, avoid custom-provider runtime fanout, preserve provider prompt-cache boundaries, forward Gemini stop sequences, and strip Kimi-incompatible Anthropic cache markers. (#89811) Thanks @takhoffman.
-- Memory/build/update: warn after startup watcher pressure checks, externalize optional Baileys image backends, restore and pin Canvas A2UI compatibility assets, keep plugin repair fetch failures nonblocking, restore Skill Workshop view switching, and keep the current chat toggle active after awaited session switches.

-- Plugins/auth: keep Hermes migration reports pointed at SQLite auth-profile stores and keep plugin auth-profile reuse tests on the current store path.
-- Plugins/CLI: avoid importing the runtime plugin loader only to clear in-process caches after short-lived plugin install, enable, disable, update, and uninstall commands refresh registry metadata.
-- Security/config/tooling: reject corrupt shell snapshots, suspicious gateway startup configs, malformed release/test/tooling/Docker/perf numeric limits, oversized audit responses, unsafe exec precheck env, and invalid pending-agent SQLite scaffold denials. (#89701, #89705, #89480, #81488) Thanks @RomneyDa and @mmaps.
-- Release/CI/E2E: restore package changelog extraction after the post-2026.6.1 version bump, keep hydrated pnpm modules under `node_modules` for ARM/Linux package lifecycle scripts, keep OpenAI live-cache prerequisites advisory while Anthropic prerequisites stay blocking, retry Windows Parallels background log appends on transient file-lock errors, bound candidate GitHub and cross-OS Discord fetches, harden ARM smoke/browser checks, show Docker build heartbeats, reset Crabbox pnpm hydrate state, and isolate Testbox/Docker/release journey artifacts.
-- Release/CI/E2E: keep Crabbox hydrate pnpm stores on the persistent cache volume while still resetting volatile modules, reducing cold installs and runner memory churn.
-- Release/CI/E2E: fail secret-provider proof startup immediately when the gateway exits by signal instead of waiting for the readiness timeout.
-- Release/CI/E2E: report plugin gateway gauntlet command-log write failures as failed rows instead of crashing the harness from child-process callbacks.
-- Release/CI/E2E: abort stalled Kitchen Sink RPC readiness probes as soon as the gateway exits so proof failures return promptly.
-- Release/CI/E2E: keep Parallels JSON-mode progress on stderr so macOS, Linux, Windows, and aggregate update smoke summaries stay parseable on stdout.
-- Release/CI/E2E: fail Crabbox sparse-sync runs clearly when their temporary full checkout disappears while the child process is running, instead of pretending the child's deleted cwd can be repaired.
-- Release/CI/E2E: fail PTY-backed E2E commands when transcript logs cannot be written instead of letting missing proof capture crash around a live child process.
-- Release/CI/E2E: fail mock OpenAI request-log write errors with clear HTTP responses instead of leaving provider proof clients waiting on a broken socket.
-- Release/CI/E2E: fail Parallels host-command log write errors through the command result path instead of leaving streaming smoke phases unresolved.

-## 2026.6.1
-
-### Highlights
-
-- Agents and CLI-backed runtimes recover more cleanly from interrupted tool calls, stale session bindings, compaction handoffs, auth-profile failover, reasoning-tag cleanup, and media delivery retries. (#85798, #87484, #88129, #88136, #88141, #88162, #88182, #88924, #89220) Thanks @RomneyDa, @neeravmakwana, and @omarshahine.
-- Channels and mobile delivery are steadier across Telegram, WhatsApp, iMessage, Slack, Discord, Microsoft Teams, Google Chat, Google Meet, QQBot, and iOS realtime Talk. (#88096, #88105, #88183, #88749, #88866, #88948, #88984, #89015, #88231) Thanks @omarshahine, @Jensenwgd, and @sliverp.
-- Provider and plugin requests now bound more timers, retries, OAuth/device-code lifetimes, media downloads, local service probes, generated-content polling, provider-catalog failures, reasoning output, and model catalog paths before they can hang a run. (#88480, #88512, #88767, #88781, #88851, #88860, #89343, #89379, #89400) Thanks @vincentkoc, @charles-openclaw, @zz327455573, @849261680, and @XuZehan-iCenter.
-- Skills, Skill Workshop, and plugin loading now handle proposal review, stale disabled snapshots, support-file approvals, locale/routing fixes, and loader failures more clearly, so channel turns avoid disabled SecretRefs and operators get better recovery guidance. (#79072, #79173, #88734) Thanks @zeus1959 and @shakkernerd.
-- Workboard, SecretRef plugin manifests, hosted iOS push relay, typed presentation command actions, and external Copilot/Tokenjuice packaging add broader orchestration, integration, SDK, and plugin delivery surfaces. (#82326, #87469, #87796, #88107, #88117, #88721, #89336) Thanks @RomneyDa.
-- Chat and Control UI startup paths keep sends alive through history loading, stream deltas incrementally, skip markdown work while streaming, keep drafts local while typing, clear the composer after sends, trace first-output latency, cache transcript renders, prioritize first connect, and expose calmer composer controls and notification settings. (#74715, #88772, #88825, #88952, #88960, #88998, #89030, #89106) Thanks @VladyslavLevchuk, @vincentkoc, and @sallyom.
-- iMessage monitor state, inbound queues, Discord thread bindings, plugin install ledgers, session metadata, gateway runtime state, plugin metadata, memory watchers, and store writes moved toward SQLite-backed or cached state so restarts and hot paths do less repeated work. (#88794, #88797, #88866, #89075, #89185, #89188, #85351) Thanks @RomneyDa and @NianJiuZst.
-- Release, CI, Docker, E2E, plugin install, update, doctor, diagnostics, and security lanes now cap more logs, response bodies, readiness probes, artifact checks, status polling, child workflow waits, docker package cleanup, quiet test stalls, downgrade repair, and health probes so failures report bounded proof instead of stalling. (#84988, #87914, #87952, #88966, #89169, #89701, #89731) Thanks @LibraHo, @Niriakot, @MukundaKatta, and @RomneyDa.

-### Fixes
-
-- Release/CI/E2E: fail early when Crabbox sparse-sync full checkouts do not have enough local disk, with guidance for moving the sync root.
-- Build: render independent CLI startup metadata help snapshots concurrently to cut cold build-all metadata time.
-- Plugins: stop timed-out package-boundary prep steps by process group so descendant TypeScript/helper processes do not survive local check cleanup.
-- Control UI: serve static assets asynchronously after safe-open checks so large UI files do not block Gateway request handling.
-- Scripts/UI: forward direct wrapper SIGHUP shutdown to child processes so terminal hangups do not leave wrapped dev commands running.
-- Gateway: return the post-expiration pending-work revision from node drains so reconnecting nodes do not observe stale queue revisions after expired items are pruned.
-- Release/CI/E2E: keep temporary full-sync checkouts alive while slow Crabbox leases boot, so sparse worktree runs do not lose their sync source before file-list generation.
-- Release/CI/E2E: normalize inherited Linux `C.UTF-8` locale settings before raw AWS macOS Crabbox bootstrap commands, avoiding macOS locale warnings during package-manager hydration.
-- Release/CI/E2E: keep gateway watch regression checks from copying large static plugin assets inside the measured idle window.
-- Update: keep core updates nonblocking when missing external plugin repair downloads or soft plugin repair warnings would otherwise stall, pin post-core plugin compatibility to the downgraded core version, and still block installed active plugin payload smoke failures. (#84431, #87914, #87952) Thanks @TurboTheTurtle, @Niriakot, and @MukundaKatta.
-- Agents/providers: keep streaming tool-call argument parsing record-shaped when providers emit valid non-object JSON such as `null` or arrays.
-- Release/CI/E2E: reset incremental log readers when watched log files rotate without shrinking, so same-size replacements do not hide new readiness or RPC lines.
-- Talk: preserve explicit `null` payloads on controller-created turn and output-audio lifecycle events.
-- Agents/TUI: keep local custom provider runs from loading plugin runtime and auth alias metadata when plugins are disabled.
-- Agents/TUI: restore in-flight TUI run switch-back behavior, keep no-policy native hook fallback available, guard vanished workspaces, and keep lightweight isolated subagents lightweight.
-- Agents/media: keep async image, music, and video generation starts from ending the Codex turn, avoid duplicate generated-media fallbacks, and let mixed requests continue with summaries or other work while media renders in the background. (#89220) Thanks @omarshahine.
-- Agents/Codex: keep public OpenAI API-key profiles from being treated as native Codex app-server auth while preserving persisted Codex OAuth sessions.
-- Agents/Codex: stream Codex app-server final-answer partials to live reply previews, preserve ACP metadata in SQLite, prefer real tool results over synthetic repair output, prevent aborted app-server turn handles from lingering, migrate legacy OpenAI Codex `lastGood` auth state, and preserve workspace/session metadata through ACP runtime refactors. (#88405, #88724, #88730) Thanks @vincentkoc.
-- Control UI: keep collapsed tool cards labeled with the tool name and action instead of generic output text. Thanks @shakkernerd.
-- Agents/Codex: surface Skill Workshop guidance in Codex app-server prompts when `skill_workshop` is available. Thanks @shakkernerd.
-- Skill Workshop: restore and localize the Control UI board/today view switcher so review workflows keep their intended layout toggle across locales. Thanks @shakkernerd.
-- Agents/auth: write auth profiles atomically, dispatch auth failures by type, add force re-login and exhausted-failover recovery, clear legacy auto fallback pins, preserve workspaces during state-only uninstall, and compact before oversized turns so recovery paths avoid partial state. (#85798, #87484, #89181) Thanks @RomneyDa and @neeravmakwana.
-- Skills: skip disabled skill env overrides from stale persisted snapshots so disabled skill `apiKey` SecretRefs cannot abort embedded or channel turns. (#79072, #79173) Thanks @zeus1959.
-- Skill Workshop: render the Control UI tab from filtered navigation state and keep filtered fallback routing stable.
-- CLI: avoid live catalog validation during `openclaw agents add`, so adding a secondary agent no longer depends on provider catalog availability. (#76284, #88314) Thanks @zhangguiping-xydt.
-- CLI: harden CLI and plugin edge cases, and keep `plugins list --json` on the snapshot-only path so plugin sweeps avoid loading the full runtime status graph. (#88896)

-- Plugins: make PixVerse external-plugin ClawHub metadata explicit and keep it out of bundled dist builds.
-- Plugins: clarify plugin loader failure guidance and treat soft plugin repair warnings as nonfatal so missing or incompatible plugin packages point operators at the right repair path without blocking unrelated work. (#84431) Thanks @TurboTheTurtle.
-- Plugins: preserve npm plugin roots after blocked installs, skip plugin-local `openclaw` peer symlinks during rollback snapshots, relink those peers after restore, isolate cached tool runtime siblings, isolate provider catalog projections and web-provider factory failures, and keep private LLM-core declarations bundled so one bad plugin does not poison sibling runtime paths. (#77237, #88767, #88807, #89336) Thanks @vincentkoc and @RomneyDa.
-- Cron: keep SQLite cron migrations compatible with legacy run-log tables, archived job stores, diagnostic cron names, single-job run-history names, startup cron retries, and legacy one-shot delete-after-run behavior. (#88285, #88294, #89075) Thanks @kip-claw.
-- Cron: keep update delivery validation scoped, harden restart state, and retire MCP runtimes on isolated cron cleanup.
-- Auto-reply: guard dispatcher failure-count probes so missing optional counters do not break SDK-typed recovery paths. (#89318) Thanks @Alix-007 and @takhoffman.
-- Memory: serialize QMD update/embed writes per store, reduce Linux watcher fan-out, avoid noisy gateway watcher warnings, retry transient FileProvider-backed reads, preserve phase signals on read errors, harden envelope metadata sanitization, reattach Linux native watchers when directories are recreated, and rewrite generated transcript paths on rollover so memory/search state survives concurrent gateway and CLI activity. (#66339, #85931, #89185, #89188, #89246, #85351) Thanks @openperf, @amittell, @RomneyDa, and @NianJiuZst.

(#88480, #88512, #88781, #89343, #89379, #89400, #76612) Thanks @coder999999999, @BryanTegomoh, @vliuyt, @charles-openclaw, @zz327455573, @849261680, and @XuZehan-iCenter.
-- Providers: cap GitHub Copilot OAuth request timeouts before creating abort signals.
-- Cron: retry recurring jobs after transient model rate limits before waiting for the next scheduled slot.
-- Agents/Codex: keep live session locks during cleanup, recover interrupted CLI tool transcripts, preserve Codex auth and compaction session identity, clear orphan tool state, cap app-server idle timers, and keep media completion delivery retryable. (#88129, #88136, #88141, #88162, #88182)
-- Chat/UI: show Gateway chat failures as visible assistant messages in the Control UI instead of only setting an invisible error state.
-- Channels: cap Telegram, Discord, WhatsApp, Signal, Feishu, Google Chat, Microsoft Teams, QQBot, Nostr, Zalo, Zalouser, and Nextcloud-style request/retry timers; preserve SMS approval reply routes; keep iMessage typing active during tool work; allow RFC2544 benchmark ranges for QQBot token fetches; and retry WhatsApp QR login 408 timeouts. (#88183, #88948, #88984, #89015) Thanks @omarshahine, @Jensenwgd, and @sliverp.
-- Security/config parsing: reject unsafe OAuth/token lifetimes, retry-after delays, inbound timestamps, response body sizes, command timeout config, sandbox observer token TTLs, corrupt shell snapshots, untrusted workspace setup-only channel loads, remote media reference overreads, trajectory export leaks, hooks-token auth reuse, and gateway WebSocket calls after close. (#86953, #87376, #88974, #89354, #89701) Thanks @hxy91819, @coygeek, @pgondhi987, and @RomneyDa.
-- Providers/media: cap local service, model, usage, queue, generated media, TTS, music, workflow polling, and provider OAuth request timers across hosted and local providers.
-- Release/CI/E2E: bound release candidate reads, beta smoke REST calls, plugin npm verification commands, changelog restore, cross-OS process groups, kitchen-sink and bundled plugin readiness probes, secret-provider probes, Telegram credential timeouts, Control UI i18n and CLI startup metadata generation, Vitest routing, dependency guard admin approvals, child workflow failure detection, quiet Node test shard stalls, dist cache restores, Docker base-image/package cleanup, and mainline test flakes. (#84988, #88127, #88137, #88155, #88160, #88966, #89169) Thanks @LibraHo and @RomneyDa.
-- Release/CI/E2E: keep Kitchen Sink live plugin MCP probes resolving source-checkout workspace packages and align the live gauntlet with current Kitchen Sink diagnostics.
-- Backup: accept root-relative hardlink targets during backup verification. (#89328) Thanks @abnershang.
-- Release/CI/E2E: run the secret-provider integration proof through the repo pnpm runner so native macOS and Windows validation use the hydrated package-manager shim.
-- Release/CI/E2E: run the Telegram desktop proof gateway through the repo pnpm runner so native macOS proof uses the hydrated package-manager shim.
-- Docs/CI: run Mintlify anchor checks through the repo pnpm runner so docs link validation works when pnpm is only available through the hydrated package-manager shim.
-- Agents: keep configured fallback model metadata typed so provider params, context-token caps, and media input limits do not break changed-gate typechecks.
-- Agents: accept hidden `sessions_send` body aliases before validation while keeping the model-facing `message` schema canonical. (#88229) Thanks @zhangguiping-xydt.

-- Gateway/session state: list commands from the Gateway plugin registry, harden MCP loopback tool schemas, hide phantom agent-store rows from `sessions.list`, make task persistence failures explicit, support Tailscale Serve service names, guard Browser/Chrome pending attach aborts, and carry session UUIDs on interactive dispatch events. (#88305) Thanks @rohitjavvadi.
-- Gateway/plugins: narrow plugin lookup memoization to the stable plugin/runtime inputs, avoiding repeated lookup work without mixing disabled or filtered plugin state.
-- OpenAI/TTS: handle speed directives for OpenAI TTS voices. (#74089)
-- CI/Crabbox: keep default runner capacity on the Azure credit-backed on-demand D4 lane with the Azure SSH port and a Git-independent full check job, so broad validation avoids low-priority spot quota stalls, hydrate port mismatches, non-Git hydrated workspaces, and stale AWS region hints.
-- CI/Crabbox: route Crabbox wrapper and Testbox workflow edits to their regression tests so changed-test gates do not silently run zero specs.
-- CI/workflows: route workflow sanity helper edits to their guard tests and cover composite-action input interpolation checks.
-- CI/tooling: route CI scope, dependency, changelog, and docs helper edits to their owner tests instead of silently skipping changed-test coverage.
-- CI/tooling: route package, release, and install helper edits to their owner tests so changed-test gates cover publish and installer script changes.
-- CI/tooling: route shared script library edits through their owner tests so lock, process, safety, and scan helpers do not skip changed-test coverage.
-- CI/tooling: skip expensive import-graph scans once a changed diff already requires broad fallback, keeping local changed-test planning fast while still collecting explicit owner tests.
-- CI/tooling: route script edits through conventional owner tests when matching `test/scripts` or `src/scripts` coverage already exists.
-- CI/tooling: honor option terminators in the memory FD repro script so follow-on arguments are not reparsed.
-- Release/CI/E2E: assert plugin lifecycle runtime inspect output instead of only capturing it.
-- Release/CI/E2E: make gateway-network prove the advertised health RPC and retry early WebSocket closes without burning full open timeouts.

-### Highlights
-
-- Agent and Codex runtime recovery is steadier: subagents keep cwd/workspace separation, hook context stays prompt-local, session locks release on timeout abort while live OpenClaw locks survive cleanup, stale restart continuations are avoided, and Codex app-server/helper failures no longer tear down shared runtime state. (#87218, #86875, #87409, #87399, #87375, #88129)
-- Channel delivery and session identity got safer across outbound plugin hooks, Matrix room ids, iMessage reactions/approvals, Slack final replies, Discord recovered tool warnings, runtime-config message actions, WhatsApp profile auth roots, Telegram polling, and Microsoft Teams service URL trust checks. (#73706, #75670, #87366, #87451, #87334, #84535, #82492, #83304, #87160)
-- Mobile and chat surfaces got a broader refresh: the iOS Pro UI, hosted push relay default, realtime Talk tab playback, Gateway chat transport, onboarding, Talk permissions, WebChat reconnect delivery, and session picker behavior now preserve more state across reconnects and empty searches. (#87367, #87531, #87682, #88096, #88105) Thanks @ngutman and @BunsDev.
-- Browser, channel, and automation inputs are stricter: Browser tool timeouts, viewport/tab indices, Gateway ports, cron retry handling, Discord component ids, schema array refs, Telegram callback pages, and channel progress callbacks now reject malformed values earlier and preserve the intended delivery context. (#82887)
-- Provider, media, and document coverage expands with Claude Opus 4.8, Fal Krea image schemas, NVIDIA featured models, MiniMax streaming music responses, encrypted PDF extraction, voice model catalogs, GitHub Copilot agent runtime support, and a Codex Supervisor plugin path for delegated Codex workflows. (#87845, #87890, #80775, #84764, #87751, #87794)
-- CLI, auth, doctor, and provider paths fail faster and recover more clearly: malformed numeric/version options are rejected, workspace dotenv provider credentials are ignored, heartbeat defaults, OAuth/token lifetimes, and local service startup requests are bounded, agent auth health labels are clearer, legacy `api_key` auth profiles migrate to canonical form, and restart guidance is actionable. (#87398, #86281, #87361, #88133, #83655, #87559, #88088, #85924) Thanks @vincentkoc and @giodl73-repo.
-- Plugin and Gateway hot paths do less repeated work while preserving cache correctness for install records, config JSON parsing, tool search catalogs, session stores, manifest model rows, auto-enabled plugin config, browser tokens, viewer assets, and release-split external plugin packages. (#86699)
-- Release, QA, and E2E validation now bound more log, artifact, harness, and cross-OS waits so failing lanes produce proof instead of hanging or false-greening.

-## 2026.5.27
-
-### Highlights
-
-- Safer local/runtime boundaries: OpenClaw now rejects unsafe command wrappers, malformed CLI numeric options, unsafe Node runtime env overrides, no-auth Tailscale exposure, and non-admin device-role pairing approvals before they can affect live runs. (#87308, #87305, #87292, #87146)
-- Matrix and auto-reply delivery are steadier: mention previews stay inert, final mention replies deliver normally, shared-DM notices are awaited, MXID parsing ignores filenames, and reasoning-prefixed `NO_REPLY` responses stay suppressed.
-- Provider and agent reliability improved across OpenAI-compatible embeddings, cached token usage, Anthropic/Codex/Claude runtime state, unsupported tool-schema quarantine, heartbeat templates, and session fallback errors. (#85269, #82062, #85416, #86855)
-- Plugin and package release paths got tighter: Pixverse ships as an external video plugin with region selection, package exclusions and shrinkwrap inventory match the published npm shape, and release/package smoke commands fail bounded instead of hanging.
-- Gateway hot paths do less rediscovery by reusing current plugin metadata fingerprints, stable plugin index fingerprints, read-only session metadata, active working stores, status fast paths, and auth/env snapshots. (#86439)
-
-### Changes
-
-- Memory: add a core OpenAI-compatible embedding provider for local and hosted OpenAI-style endpoints, with config, doctor, and docs support. (#85269) Thanks @dutifulbob.
-- Plugin SDK: mark memory-specific embedding provider registration as deprecated compatibility and surface non-bundled usage in plugin compatibility diagnostics. (#85072) Thanks @mbelinky.
-- Pixverse: add video generation provider support, API region selection, and external plugin publishing.

-
-### Fixes
-
-- Security/CLI/runtime: harden hostname normalization for repeated trailing dots, block side-effecting command wrappers, reject unsafe Node runtime env overrides, reject loose numeric CLI and gateway options, require admin approval for node device-role pairing, and reject no-auth Tailscale exposure. (#87305, #87292, #87308, #87146) Thanks @pgondhi987.
-- Doctor: validate runtime tool schemas for every configured embedded agent while skipping ACP-only profiles, so bad non-default plugin or MCP tools are reported before assistant turns.
-- Telegram: route `sendMessage` action replies through durable outbound delivery so completed agent responses remain retryable when the gateway send path times out. (#87261) Thanks @mbelinky.
-- Matrix/auto-reply: keep draft previews mention-inert, preserve final mention delivery, send mention finals normally, await shared DM notices, ignore filename-embedded MXIDs, and suppress reasoning-prefixed `NO_REPLY` responses.
-- Agents/providers: add OpenAI-compatible cache retention, forward cached token usage in chat completions, preserve runtime context before active user turns, strip stale Anthropic thinking, load Claude CLI OAuth for Pi auth profiles, avoid false Codex runtime live switches, and quarantine unsupported tool schemas.

-- Gateway/performance: cache plugin metadata fingerprints and stable plugin index fingerprints, borrow read-only session metadata safely, keep the active session working store hot, keep status on a bounded fast path, and preserve model auth profile suffixes. (#86439)
-- Package/install/release: align npm package exclusions and inventory, omit unpacked test helpers, skip Homebrew until macOS packages need it, cap tsdown heap in containers, bound install/release smoke waits, and harden post-publish verification.
-- Codex/Auth: bound ChatGPT OAuth token exchange and refresh requests, and honor cancellation across Codex and Anthropic OAuth login flows.
-- QA/E2E/CI: bound Telegram, kitchen-sink, Open WebUI, ClawHub, MCP, Discord, realtime, labeler, and GitHub API waits; fail empty explicit test, live-media, gateway CPU, startup benchmark, plugin gauntlet, and beta-smoke runs instead of false-greening.
-- Agents/Codex: keep spawned agent bootstrap files rooted in the agent workspace while running task commands, transcripts, and compaction from the requested cwd. (#87218) Thanks @mbelinky.

 ## 2026.5.26
 
 ### Highlights
@@ -341,7 +12,7 @@ Docs: https://docs.openclaw.ai
 - Better voice and Talk: realtime Talk runs can be inspected, steered, cancelled, or followed up from Web UI and Discord voice; wake-name handling is more tolerant without letting ambient speech trigger agents.
 - Safer content boundaries: Browser snapshot reads honor SSRF policy, system-event text cannot spoof nested prompt markers, fetched file text is wrapped as external content, ClickClack inbound sender allowlists run before agent dispatch, stale device tokens are rejected, and serialized tool-call text is scrubbed from replies.
 - Providers, Codex, and local models are steadier: named auth profiles, OpenAI sampling params, Codex app-server resume/timeout/usage-limit recovery, dynamic tool-schema guards, xAI usage-limit surfacing, Ollama top-p normalization, and local approval resolution reduce provider-specific dead ends.
-- More reliable install/update/release paths: Alpine installs, trusted runtime fallback roots, stable update channels, Docker/package timeouts, Windows Scheduled Tasks, Windows/macOS proof lanes, Testbox/Crabbox delegation, plugin publish checks, and macOS runner bootstraps all got hardened.
+- More reliable install/update/release paths: Alpine installs, trusted runtime fallback roots, stable update channels, Docker/package timeouts, Windows/macOS proof lanes, Testbox/Crabbox delegation, plugin publish checks, and macOS runner bootstraps all got hardened.
 - Better observability: Activity tab, gateway secret-prep traces, tool/model stream progress, explicit fast-mode status, systemd Gateway hygiene, OpenTelemetry LLM spans, release performance evidence, and richer telemetry signals make failures easier to inspect.
 
 ### Changes
@@ -363,7 +34,7 @@ Docs: https://docs.openclaw.ai
 - Voice: share activation-name matching and consult-transcript screening through the realtime voice SDK so Discord, browser voice, and meeting surfaces can reuse one implementation.
 - Cron: default `cron.maxConcurrentRuns` to 8 so scheduled automations and their isolated agent turns can make progress in parallel without explicit configuration.
 - QA-Lab: add `qa coverage --match <query>` so focused proof selection can discover matching scenarios from existing metadata before running live or remote lanes.
-- Discord/model picker: surface an alpha-bucket select (e.g. `A–G (12) · H–N (18) · O–Z (5)`) when the provider list or a provider's model list exceeds 25 items, so configs with `provider/*` wildcards stay one click from the right page instead of paginating through prev/next; falls back to numeric chunks when every item shares the same first letter. (#86181) Thanks @rendrag-git.

 - Control UI: add an ephemeral Activity tab for sanitized live tool activity summaries without persisting raw telemetry. Fixes #12831. Thanks @BunsDev.
 - Build: include `ui:build` in the `full` and `ciArtifacts` profiles of `scripts/build-all.mjs` so `pnpm build` always rebuilds `dist/control-ui` after `tsdown` cleans `dist`, removing the second-command requirement and the missing-asset failure mode for source/runtime installs and CI artifact uploads. (#85206)

 - Memory/security: reject prompt-like text submitted through the explicit `memory_store` tool before embedding or storage, matching the existing auto-capture prompt-injection filter. (#87142)
-- Gateway/security: enable the default auth rate limiter for remote non-browser and HTTP gateway auth failures when `gateway.auth.rateLimit` is unset, while preserving the loopback exemption. (#87148)
-- Prompt hardening: route untrusted group prompt metadata through sanitized untrusted structured context while preserving trusted operator-configured group system prompts and aligning the plugin SDK docs/test helpers. (#87144)
 - Security/content boundaries: validate Browser snapshot tab URLs against SSRF policy before ChromeMCP or direct CDP reads, sanitize queued system-event text so untrusted plugin/channel labels cannot spoof nested prompt markers, wrap fetched file text and metadata as external content, apply ClickClack `allowFrom` sender allowlists before agent dispatch, reject RPCs from invalidated device-token clients during rotation, require staged sandbox media refs, and scrub serialized tool-call text from replies. (#78526, #87094, #87062, #83741, #70707, #86924) Thanks @zsxsoft, @ttzero25, and @mmaps.
 - Transcripts/user turns: persist CLI, WebChat, media, follow-up, hook, and Codex-mirror user turns to the admitted session target; keep cleaned transcript text, inline image routing, provenance metadata, replay hooks, and fallback paths idempotent when runtimes fail or restart.
 - TUI/status/onboarding/UI: queue busy TUI prompts instead of dropping them, preserve the configured default model during onboarding, show failed tool results as errors, show config-open failures in Control UI, keep status JSON plugin scans healthy, preserve xAI usage-limit errors locally, and expose explicit fast-mode/systemd state.

(#86989, #86990, #86991, #86992, #86993, #86994) Thanks @keshavbotagent.
 - Reply/source delivery: keep TUI, Control UI, media, TTS, transcript, and Codex source-reply finals live without duplicate terminal events or stale replay artifacts.
 - Agents/replay: repair legacy tool results before replay, preserve `sessions_spawn` transcript payloads, restore current guard checks, stage sandboxed workspace media, and keep duplicate transcripts tool display metadata from reappearing. (#82203, #86934, #87025) Thanks @martingarramon, @vincentkoc, and @joshavant.
-- Agents/sessions: handle active-fallback failures in `sessions_send` so fallback routing reports the real failure and does not leave callers with an ambiguous dropped send. (#86638)
 - Agents/hooks/subagents: enforce default hook agent allowlists, recover failed subagent lifecycle completions, and keep node task lifecycle cleanup from closing the Gateway listener. (#86101)
 - Codex: project newer OpenClaw chat history into resumed app-server threads and keep Codex turn timeouts inside the Codex runtime boundary so timeouts do not poison shared app-server clients or fall through to unrelated provider fallback. (#86677, #86476) Thanks @TurboTheTurtle and @pashpashpash.
 - Config/doctor/update: narrow profiled tool-section doctor repair, keep runtime-injected legacy web-search provider config out of user-authored config validation, and keep prerelease tags excluded from stable updater resolution. (#87030, #86818, #86559) Thanks @joshavant, @luoyanglang, and @stevenepalmer.
-- Doctor/runtime: validate active bundled MCP tool schemas through the same runtime projection path so unsupported MCP input schemas are reported and quarantined instead of poisoning assistant startup.
 - CLI/Windows: add a Windows-only stack-size respawn for stack-heavy startup paths, default CLI logs to local timestamps, and validate timeout/banner TTY state more strictly. (#87031, #85387) Thanks @giodl73-repo and @vincentkoc.
 - Locking/security: require owner identity proof before stale plugin lock removal, memoize session lock owner arguments, and avoid writing default exec approval stores unless policy state actually changed. (#86814, #86964) Thanks @Alix-007 and @vincentkoc.
 - Install/release: bound Docker package build, inventory, pack, and tarball preparation with process-group timeouts; pin shrinkwrap patch drift to the pnpm lock; harden macOS restart and dSYM packaging; and run release Docker/live timeout wrappers in the foreground so child processes cannot wedge gates.
-- QA/Telegram: bound Telegram user credential tar and broker calls so live proof setup fails with a timeout instead of waiting for the outer Crabbox job deadline.
-- QA/Tool Search: bound gateway E2E HTTP probes, run only the fixture plugin, and clean up temporary fixture trees after the compact tool-catalog proof completes.
 - Telegram/network: treat `ENETDOWN` as a transient pre-connect network failure so Telegram sends, gateway unhandled-rejection handling, and cron network retries follow the same recovery path as sibling network outages. (#86762) Thanks @TurboTheTurtle.
