fix(openai): route api key default through pi runtime

Summary:
- Add optional ACPX agent args config support while preserving command-only configs.
- Quote flattened args before passing the command string to the ACP client so spaces and single quotes preserve argv boundaries.
- Document the config shape and add changelog attribution.

Verification:
- pnpm test extensions/acpx/src/config.test.ts
- pnpm exec oxfmt --check --threads=1 extensions/acpx/src/config.ts extensions/acpx/src/config.test.ts docs/tools/acp-agents-setup.md CHANGELOG.md
- git diff --check
- pnpm check:changed
- isolated openclaw config patch/validate/get real behavior proof for ACPX args.

-description: Run Blacksmith Testbox for CI-parity checks, secrets, hosted services, migrations, or builds local cannot reproduce.
----
-
-# Blacksmith Testbox
-
-## Scope
-
-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.
-
-Testbox is the expensive path. Reach for it deliberately.
-
-OpenClaw maintainers can opt into Testbox-first validation by setting
-`OPENCLAW_TESTBOX=1` in their environment or standing agent rules. This mode is
-maintainers-only and requires Blacksmith access.
-
-When `OPENCLAW_TESTBOX=1` is set in OpenClaw:
-
-- Pre-warm a Testbox early for longer, wider, or uncertain work.
-- Prefer Testbox for `pnpm` gates, e2e, package-like proof, and broad suites.
-- Reuse the same Testbox ID for every run command in the same task/session.
-- Use local commands only when the task explicitly sets
-  `OPENCLAW_LOCAL_CHECK_MODE=throttled|full`, or when the user asks for local
-  proof.
-
-## Install the CLI
-
-If `blacksmith` is not installed, install it:
-
-    curl -fsSL https://get.blacksmith.sh | sh
-
-For the canary channel (bleeding-edge):
-
-    BLACKSMITH_CHANNEL=canary sh -c 'curl -fsSL https://get.blacksmith.sh | sh'
-
-Then authenticate:
-
-    blacksmith auth login
-
-## Agent-triggered browser auth (non-interactive)
-
-When an agent needs to ensure the user is authenticated before running testbox
-commands (e.g. warmup, run), use browser-based auth with non-interactive mode.
-This opens the browser for the user to sign in; the agent does not interact with
-the browser. The org selector in the dashboard is skipped, so the user only sees
-the sign-in flow.
-
-**Required command** (`--organization` is required with `--non-interactive`):
-
-    blacksmith auth login --non-interactive --organization <org-slug>
-
-The org slug can come from `BLACKSMITH_ORG` env var or the `--org` global flag.
-If neither is set, the agent should use the project's known org (e.g. from repo
-config or user context). Example:
-
-    blacksmith auth login --non-interactive --organization acme-corp
-    blacksmith --org acme-corp auth login --non-interactive --organization acme-corp
-
-**Flow**: The CLI starts a local callback server, opens the browser to the
-dashboard auth page, and blocks for up to 2 minutes. The user completes sign-in
-and authorization in the browser. The dashboard redirects to localhost with the
-token; the CLI saves credentials and exits. The agent then proceeds.
-
-**Do not use** `--api-token` for this flow — that is for headless/token-based
-auth. This skill focuses on browser-based auth when the user prefers signing in
-via the web UI.
-
-Optional flags:
-
-- `--dashboard-url <url>` — Override dashboard URL (e.g. for staging)
-
-## Decide first: local or Testbox
-
-Before warming anything up, check the repo's own instructions.
-
-Prefer local commands when:
-
-- the repo documents a supported local test/build workflow
-- you are iterating on unit tests, lint, typecheck, formatting, or other
-  local-only validation
-- the value comes from warm local caches and fast repeat runs
-- the command does not need remote secrets, hosted services, or CI-only images
-
-Prefer Testbox when:
-
-- the repo explicitly requires CI-parity or remote validation
-- the command needs secrets, service containers, or provisioned infra
-- you are reproducing CI-only failures
-- you need the exact workflow image/job environment from GitHub Actions
-
-For OpenClaw specifically, normal local iteration stays local unless maintainer
-Testbox mode is enabled with `OPENCLAW_TESTBOX=1`:
-
-- `pnpm check:changed`
-- `pnpm test:changed`
-- `pnpm test <path-or-filter>`
-- `pnpm test:serial`
-- `pnpm build`
-
-If `OPENCLAW_TESTBOX=1` is enabled, run those same repo commands inside the
-warm Testbox. If the user wants laptop-friendly local proof for one command, use
-the explicit escape hatch `OPENCLAW_LOCAL_CHECK_MODE=throttled`.
-
-For installable-package product proof, prefer the GitHub `Package Acceptance`
-workflow over an ad hoc Testbox command. It resolves one package candidate
-(`source=npm`, `source=ref`, `source=url`, or `source=artifact`), uploads it as
-`package-under-test`, and runs the reusable Docker E2E lanes against that exact
-tarball on GitHub/Blacksmith runners. Use `workflow_ref` for the trusted
-workflow/harness code and `package_ref` for the source ref to pack when testing
-an older trusted branch, tag, or SHA.
-
-## Setup: Warmup before coding
-
-If you decided Testbox is warranted, warm one up early. This returns an ID
-instantly and boots the CI environment in the background while you work:
-
-    blacksmith testbox warmup ci-check-testbox.yml
-    # → tbx_01jkz5b3t9...
-
-Save this ID in the current session. You need it for every `run` command.
-Treat `blacksmith testbox list` as diagnostics, not a reusable work queue.
-Listed boxes can be visible at the org/repo level while still being unusable or
-stale for the current local agent lane.
-
-For OpenClaw maintainer Testbox mode, pre-warm at the start of longer or wider
-tasks:
-
-    blacksmith testbox warmup ci-check-testbox.yml --ref main --idle-timeout 90
-    pnpm testbox:claim --id <ID>
-
-Use the build-artifact warmup when e2e/package/build proof benefits from seeded
-`dist/`, `dist-runtime/`, and build-all caches:
-
-    blacksmith testbox warmup ci-build-artifacts-testbox.yml --ref main --idle-timeout 90
-    pnpm testbox:claim --id <ID>
-
-Warmup dispatches a GitHub Actions workflow that provisions a VM with the
-full CI environment: dependencies installed, services started, secrets
-injected, and a clean checkout of the repo at the default branch.
-
-In OpenClaw, raw commit SHAs are not reliable dispatch refs for `warmup --ref`;
-use a branch or tag. The build-artifact workflow resolves `openclaw@beta` and
-`openclaw@latest` to SHA cache keys internally.
-
-Options:
-
-    --ref <branch|tag>     Git ref to dispatch against (default: repo's default branch)
-    --job <name>           Specific job within the workflow (if it has multiple)
-    --idle-timeout <min>   Idle timeout in minutes (default: 30)
-
-## CRITICAL: Always run from the repo root
-
-ALWAYS invoke `blacksmith testbox` commands from the **root of the git
-repository**. The CLI syncs the current working directory to the testbox
-using rsync with `--delete`. If you run from a subdirectory (e.g.
-`cd backend && blacksmith testbox run ...`), rsync will mirror only that
-subdirectory and **delete everything else** on the testbox — wiping other
-directories like `dashboard/`, `cli/`, etc.
-
-    # CORRECT — run from repo root, use paths in the command
-    blacksmith testbox run --id <ID> "cd backend && php artisan test"
-    blacksmith testbox run --id <ID> "cd dashboard && npm test"
-
-    # WRONG — do NOT cd into a subdirectory before invoking the CLI
-    cd backend && blacksmith testbox run --id <ID> "php artisan test"
-
-If your shell is in a subdirectory, `cd` back to the repo root first:
-
-    cd "$(git rev-parse --show-toplevel)"
-    blacksmith testbox run --id <ID> "cd backend && php artisan test"
-
-## Running commands
-
-    blacksmith testbox run --id <ID> "<command>"
-
-The `run` command automatically waits for the testbox to become ready if
-it is still booting, so you can call `run` immediately after warmup without
-needing to check status first.
-
-In OpenClaw, prefer the guarded runner wrapper so stale/reused ids fail before
-the Blacksmith CLI spends time syncing or emits a confusing missing-key error:
-
-    pnpm testbox:run --id <ID> -- "OPENCLAW_TESTBOX=1 pnpm check:changed"
-
-The wrapper refuses to run when the local per-Testbox key is missing or when the
-id was not claimed by this OpenClaw checkout with `pnpm testbox:claim --id
-<ID>`. Treat that as the expected remediation, not as a GitHub account or
-normal SSH-key problem. A local key alone is not enough; a ready box may still
-carry stale rsync state from another lane.
-
-If the agent crashes, the remote box relies on Blacksmith's idle timeout. The
-local OpenClaw claim marker is not deleted automatically, so the wrapper treats
-claims older than 12 hours as stale. Override only for intentional long-running
-work with `OPENCLAW_TESTBOX_CLAIM_TTL_MINUTES=<minutes>`.
-
-Before spending a broad gate on a manually assembled command, you can also run:
-
-    pnpm testbox:sanity -- --id <ID>
-
-## Downloading files from a testbox
-
-Use the `download` command to retrieve files or directories from a running
-testbox to your local machine. This is useful for fetching build artifacts,
-test results, coverage reports, or any output generated on the testbox.
-
-    blacksmith testbox download --id <ID> <remote-path> [local-path]
-
-The remote path is relative to the testbox working directory (same as `run`).
-If no local path is specified, the file is saved to the current directory
-using the same base name.
-
-To download a directory, append a trailing `/` to the remote path — this
-triggers recursive mode:
-
-    # Download a single file
-    blacksmith testbox download --id <ID> coverage/report.html
-
-    # Download a file to a specific local path
-    blacksmith testbox download --id <ID> build/output.tar.gz ./output.tar.gz
-
-    # Download an entire directory
-    blacksmith testbox download --id <ID> test-results/ ./results/
-
-Options:
-
-    --ssh-private-key <path>   Path to SSH private key (if warmup used --ssh-public-key)
-
-## How file sync works
-
-Understanding this model is critical for using Testbox correctly.
-
-When you call `run`, the CLI performs a **delta sync** of your local changes
-to the remote testbox before executing your command:
-
-1. The testbox VM starts from a clean `actions/checkout` at the warmup ref.
-   The workflow's setup steps (e.g. `npm install`, `pip install`, `composer install`)
-   run during warmup and populate dependency directories on the remote VM.
-
-2. On each `run`, the CLI uses **git** to detect which files changed locally
-   since the last sync. It syncs ONLY tracked files and untracked non-ignored
-   files (i.e. files that `git ls-files` reports).
-
-3. **`.gitignore`'d directories are never synced.** This means directories
-   like `node_modules/`, `vendor/`, `.venv/`, `build/`, `dist/`, etc. are
-   NOT transferred from your local machine. The testbox uses its own copies
-   of those directories, populated during the warmup workflow steps.
-
-4. If nothing has changed since the last sync (same git commit and working
-   tree state), the sync is skipped entirely for speed.
-
-### Why this matters
-
-- **Changing dependencies**: If you modify `package.json`, `requirements.txt`,
-  `composer.json`, `go.mod`, or similar dependency manifests, the lock/manifest
-  file will be synced but the actual dependency directory will NOT. You must
-  re-run the install command on the testbox:
-
-      blacksmith testbox run --id <ID> "npm install && npm test"
-      blacksmith testbox run --id <ID> "pip install -r requirements.txt && pytest"
-      blacksmith testbox run --id <ID> "composer install && phpunit"
-
-- **Generated/build artifacts**: If your tests depend on a build step (e.g.
-  `npm run build`, `make`), and you changed source files that affect the build
-  output, re-run the build on the testbox before testing.
-
-- **New untracked files**: New files you create locally ARE synced (as long as
-  they are not gitignored). You do not need to `git add` them first.
-
-- **Deleted files**: Files you delete locally are also deleted on the remote
-  testbox. The sync model keeps the remote in lockstep with your local managed
-  file set.
-
-## CRITICAL: Do not ban local tests
-
-Do not assume local validation is forbidden. Many repos intentionally invest in
-fast, warm local loops, and forcing every run through Testbox destroys that
-advantage.
-
-Use Testbox for the checks that actually need it: remote parity, secrets,
-services, CI-only runners, or reproducibility against the workflow image.
-
-If the repo says local tests/builds are the normal path, follow the repo.
-
-OpenClaw maintainer exception: if `OPENCLAW_TESTBOX=1` is set by the user or
-agent environment, treat Testbox as the normal validation path for this repo.
-Use `OPENCLAW_LOCAL_CHECK_MODE=throttled|full` as the explicit local escape
-hatch.
-
-## When to use
-
-Use Testbox when:
-
-- running database migrations or destructive environment checks
-- running commands that depend on secrets or environment variables not present locally
-- reproducing CI-only failures or validating against the workflow image
-- validating behavior that needs provisioned services or remote runners
-- doing a final parity check before commit/push when the repo or user wants that
-
-Trim that list based on repo guidance. If the repo documents supported local
-tests/builds, prefer local for routine iteration and keep Testbox for the
-checks that need parity or remote state.
-
-## Workflow
-
-1. Decide whether the repo's local loop is the right default. For OpenClaw,
-   `OPENCLAW_TESTBOX=1` makes Testbox the maintainer default.
-2. If Testbox is warranted, warm up early:
-   `blacksmith testbox warmup ci-check-testbox.yml --ref main --idle-timeout 90` → save the ID,
-   then `pnpm testbox:claim --id <ID>`
-3. Write code while the testbox boots in the background.
-4. Run the remote command when needed:
-   `pnpm testbox:run --id <ID> -- "OPENCLAW_TESTBOX=1 pnpm check:changed"`
-5. If tests fail, fix code and re-run against the same warm box.
-6. If you changed dependency manifests (package.json, etc.), prepend
-   the install command: `blacksmith testbox run --id <ID> "npm install && npm test"`
-7. If a narrow PR reports a full sync or the box was reused/expired, sanity
-   check the remote copy before a slow gate:
-   `pnpm testbox:run --id <ID> -- "pnpm testbox:sanity"`.
-   If it reports missing root files or mass tracked deletions, stop the box and
-   warm a fresh one. Use `OPENCLAW_TESTBOX_ALLOW_MASS_DELETIONS=1` only for an
-   intentional large deletion PR.
-8. If you need artifacts (coverage reports, build outputs, etc.), download them:
-   `blacksmith testbox download --id <ID> coverage/ ./coverage/`
-9. Once green, commit and push.
-
-## OpenClaw full test suite
-
-For OpenClaw, use the repo package manager and the measured stable full-suite
-profile below. It keeps six Vitest project shards active while limiting each
-shard to one worker to avoid worker OOMs on Testbox:
-
-    blacksmith testbox run --id <ID> "env NODE_OPTIONS=--max-old-space-size=4096 OPENCLAW_TEST_PROJECTS_PARALLEL=6 OPENCLAW_VITEST_MAX_WORKERS=1 pnpm test"
-
-Observed full-suite time on Blacksmith Testbox is about 3-4 minutes:
-
-- 173-180s on a warmed box
-- 219s on a fresh 32-vCPU box
-
-When validating before commit/push in maintainer Testbox mode, run
-`pnpm check:changed` inside the warmed box first when appropriate, then the full
-suite with the profile above if broad confidence is needed.
-
-Run `pnpm testbox:sanity` inside the warmed box before the broad command when
-the sync looks suspicious. It checks that root files such as `pnpm-lock.yaml`
-still exist and fails on 200 or more tracked deletions. That catches stale or
-corrupted rsync state before dependency install or Vitest failures hide the real
-problem.
-
-## Examples
-
-    blacksmith testbox warmup ci-check-testbox.yml
-    # → tbx_01jkz5b3t9...
-
-    # Run tests
-    blacksmith testbox run --id <ID> "npm test -- --testPathPattern=handler.test"
-    blacksmith testbox run --id <ID> "go test ./pkg/api/... -run TestHandler -v"
-    blacksmith testbox run --id <ID> "python -m pytest tests/test_api.py -k test_auth"
-
-    # Re-install deps after changing package.json, then test
-    blacksmith testbox run --id <ID> "npm install && npm test"
-
-    # Build and test
-    blacksmith testbox run --id <ID> "npm run build && npm test"
-
-    # Download artifacts from the testbox
-    blacksmith testbox download --id <ID> coverage/lcov-report/ ./coverage/
-    blacksmith testbox download --id <ID> build/output.tar.gz
-
-## Waiting for the testbox to be ready
-
-The `run` command automatically waits for the testbox, so explicit waiting is
-usually unnecessary. If you do need to check readiness separately (e.g. before
-a series of runs), use the `--wait` flag. Do NOT use a sleep-and-recheck loop.
-
-Correct: block until ready with a timeout:
-
-    blacksmith testbox status --id <ID> --wait [--wait-timeout 5m]
-
-Wrong: never use sleep + status in a loop:
-
-    # BAD — do not do this
-    sleep 30 && blacksmith testbox status --id <ID>
-    while ! blacksmith testbox status --id <ID> | grep ready; do sleep 5; done
-
-`--wait` polls the status and exits as soon as the testbox is ready (or when the
-timeout is reached). Default timeout is 5m; use `--wait-timeout` for longer
-(e.g. `10m`, `1h`).
-
-## Managing testboxes
-
-    # Check status of a specific testbox
-    blacksmith testbox status --id <ID>
-
-    # List all active testboxes for the current repo
-    blacksmith testbox list
-
-    # Stop a testbox when you're done (frees resources)
-    blacksmith testbox stop --id <ID>
-
-Testboxes automatically shut down after being idle (default: 30 minutes).
-If you need a longer session, increase the timeout at warmup time. For OpenClaw
-maintainer work, use 90 minutes for long-running sessions:
-
-    blacksmith testbox warmup ci-check-testbox.yml --idle-timeout 90
-    blacksmith testbox warmup ci-build-artifacts-testbox.yml --idle-timeout 90
-
-## With options
-
-    blacksmith testbox warmup ci-check-testbox.yml --ref main
-    blacksmith testbox warmup ci-check-testbox.yml --idle-timeout 90
-    blacksmith testbox run --id <ID> "go test ./..."

-## Before Running
+Default backend: `blacksmith-testbox`. The separate `blacksmith-testbox` skill
+has been removed; this skill owns both the normal Crabbox path and the direct
+Blacksmith fallback playbook.
+
+## First Checks
 
 - 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.
-- Sanity-check the selected binary before remote work. OpenClaw scripts prefer
-  `../crabbox/bin/crabbox` when present; the user PATH shim can be stale:
-  `command -v crabbox; ../crabbox/bin/crabbox --version; ../crabbox/bin/crabbox --help | sed -n '1,90p'`.
-- Install with `brew install openclaw/tap/crabbox`; auth is required before use:
-  `printf '%s' "$CRABBOX_COORDINATOR_TOKEN" | crabbox login --url https://crabbox.openclaw.ai --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
-
-AWS/owned-capacity flow for `pnpm` tests:
+- Check the wrapper and providers before remote work:
 
 ```sh
-pnpm crabbox:warmup -- --idle-timeout 90m
-pnpm crabbox:warmup -- --provider aws --class beast --market on-demand --idle-timeout 90m
-pnpm crabbox:hydrate -- --id <cbx_id-or-slug>
-pnpm crabbox:run -- --id <cbx_id-or-slug> --timing-json --shell -- "env NODE_OPTIONS=--max-old-space-size=4096 OPENCLAW_TEST_PROJECTS_PARALLEL=6 OPENCLAW_VITEST_MAX_WORKERS=1 OPENCLAW_VITEST_NO_OUTPUT_TIMEOUT_MS=900000 pnpm test:changed"
+command -v crabbox
+../crabbox/bin/crabbox --version
+pnpm crabbox:run -- --help | sed -n '1,120p'
+../crabbox/bin/crabbox desktop launch --help
+../crabbox/bin/crabbox webvnc --help
 ```
 
-Blacksmith-backed Crabbox flow can delegate setup to the Testbox workflow:
+- OpenClaw scripts prefer `../crabbox/bin/crabbox` when present. The user PATH
+  shim can be stale.
+- Check `.crabbox.yaml` for repo defaults, but override provider explicitly.
+  Even if config still says AWS, maintainer validation should normally pass
+  `--provider blacksmith-testbox`.
+- Prefer local targeted tests for tight edit loops. Broad gates belong remote.
+- Do not treat inherited shell env as operator intent. In particular,
+  `OPENCLAW_LOCAL_CHECK_MODE=throttled` from the local shell is not permission
+  to move broad `pnpm check:changed`, `pnpm test:changed`, full `pnpm test`, or
+  lint/typecheck fan-out onto the laptop.
+- Only use `OPENCLAW_LOCAL_CHECK_MODE=throttled|full` when the user explicitly
+  asks for local proof in the current task. If Testbox is queued or capacity is
+  constrained, report the blocker and keep only targeted local edit-loop checks
+  running.
+
+## macOS And Windows Targets
+
+Use these only when the task needs an existing non-Linux host. OpenClaw broad
+validation still defaults to `blacksmith-testbox`.
+
+Crabbox supports static SSH targets:
 
 ```sh
-pnpm crabbox:run -- --provider blacksmith-testbox --blacksmith-org openclaw --blacksmith-workflow .github/workflows/ci-check-testbox.yml --blacksmith-job check --blacksmith-ref main --idle-timeout 90m --timing-json --shell -- "env NODE_OPTIONS=--max-old-space-size=4096 OPENCLAW_TEST_PROJECTS_PARALLEL=6 OPENCLAW_VITEST_MAX_WORKERS=1 OPENCLAW_VITEST_NO_OUTPUT_TIMEOUT_MS=900000 pnpm test:changed"

+- `crabbox actions hydrate/register` are Linux-only today; use plain
+  `crabbox run` loops for static macOS and Windows hosts.

+
+Use this for `pnpm check`, `pnpm check:changed`, `pnpm test`,
+`pnpm test:changed`, Docker/E2E/live/package gates, or anything likely to fan
+out across many Vitest projects.
+
+Changed gate:
+
+```sh

+```
+
+Focused rerun:
+
+```sh
+pnpm crabbox:run -- --provider blacksmith-testbox \
+  --blacksmith-org openclaw \
+  --blacksmith-workflow .github/workflows/ci-check-testbox.yml \

+```
+
+Read the JSON summary. Useful fields:
+
+- `provider`: should be `blacksmith-testbox`
+- `leaseId`: `tbx_...`
+- `syncDelegated`: should be `true`
+- `commandMs` / `totalMs`
+- `exitCode`
+
+Crabbox should stop one-shot Blacksmith Testboxes automatically after the run.
+Verify cleanup when a run fails, is interrupted, or the command output is
+unclear:
+
+```sh
+blacksmith testbox list
+```
+
+## Reuse And Keepalive
+
+For most Blacksmith-backed Crabbox calls, one-shot is enough. Use reuse only
+when you need multiple manual commands on the same hydrated box.
+
+If Crabbox returns a reusable id or you intentionally keep a lease:
+
+```sh
+pnpm crabbox:run -- --provider blacksmith-testbox --id <tbx_id> --no-sync --timing-json --shell -- "pnpm test <path>"
 ```
 
 Stop boxes you created before handoff:
 
 ```sh
+pnpm crabbox:stop -- <id-or-slug>
+blacksmith testbox stop --id <tbx_id>
+```
+
+## Interactive Desktop And WebVNC
+
+Prefer WebVNC for human inspection because the browser portal can preload the
+lease VNC password and avoids a native VNC client's copy/paste/password dance.
+Use native `crabbox vnc` only when WebVNC is unavailable, the browser portal is
+broken, or the user explicitly wants a local VNC client.
+
+Common desktop flow:
+
+```sh
+../crabbox/bin/crabbox warmup --provider hetzner --desktop --browser --class standard --idle-timeout 60m --ttl 240m
+../crabbox/bin/crabbox desktop launch --provider hetzner --id <cbx_id-or-slug> --browser --url https://example.com --webvnc --open
+```
+
+Useful WebVNC commands:
+
+```sh
+../crabbox/bin/crabbox webvnc --provider hetzner --id <cbx_id-or-slug> --open
+../crabbox/bin/crabbox webvnc --provider hetzner --id <cbx_id-or-slug> --daemon --open
+../crabbox/bin/crabbox webvnc --provider hetzner --id <cbx_id-or-slug> --status
+../crabbox/bin/crabbox webvnc --provider hetzner --id <cbx_id-or-slug> --stop
+../crabbox/bin/crabbox screenshot --provider hetzner --id <cbx_id-or-slug> --output desktop.png
+```
+
+`desktop launch --webvnc --open` is usually the nicest one-shot: it starts the
+browser/app inside the visible session, bridges the lease into the authenticated
+WebVNC portal, and opens the portal. Keep browsers windowed for human QA; use
+`--fullscreen` only for capture/video workflows.
+
+## If Crabbox Fails
+
+Keep the fallback narrow. First decide whether the failure is Crabbox itself,
+Blacksmith/Testbox, repo hydration, sync, or the test command.
+
+Fast checks:
+
+```sh
+command -v crabbox
+../crabbox/bin/crabbox --version
+crabbox run --provider blacksmith-testbox --help | sed -n '1,140p'
+command -v blacksmith
+blacksmith --version
+blacksmith testbox list
+```
+
+Common Crabbox-only failures:
+
+- Provider missing or old CLI: use `../crabbox/bin/crabbox` from the sibling
+  repo, or update/install Crabbox before retrying.
+- Bad local config: pass `--provider blacksmith-testbox` plus explicit
+  `--blacksmith-*` flags instead of relying on `.crabbox.yaml`.
+- Slug/claim confusion: use the raw `tbx_...` id, or run one-shot without
+  `--id`.
+- Sync/timing bug: add `--debug --timing-json`; capture the final JSON and the
+  printed Actions URL.
+- Cleanup uncertainty: run `blacksmith testbox list` and stop only boxes you
+  created.
+- Testbox queued/capacity pressure: do not convert a broad changed gate or full
+  suite into local `OPENCLAW_LOCAL_CHECK_MODE=throttled pnpm ...`. Leave the
+  remote lane queued, switch to a narrower targeted local check, or stop and
+  report the capacity blocker.
+
+If Crabbox cannot dispatch, sync, attach, or stop but Blacksmith itself works,
+use direct Blacksmith from the repo root:
+
+```sh
+blacksmith testbox warmup ci-check-testbox.yml --ref main --idle-timeout 90
+blacksmith testbox run --id <tbx_id> "env CI=1 NODE_OPTIONS=--max-old-space-size=4096 OPENCLAW_TEST_PROJECTS_PARALLEL=6 OPENCLAW_VITEST_MAX_WORKERS=1 OPENCLAW_VITEST_NO_OUTPUT_TIMEOUT_MS=900000 pnpm test:changed"
+blacksmith testbox stop --id <tbx_id>
+```
+
+Direct full suite:
+
+```sh
+blacksmith testbox run --id <tbx_id> "env CI=1 NODE_OPTIONS=--max-old-space-size=4096 OPENCLAW_TEST_PROJECTS_PARALLEL=6 OPENCLAW_VITEST_MAX_WORKERS=1 OPENCLAW_VITEST_NO_OUTPUT_TIMEOUT_MS=900000 pnpm test"
+```
+
+Auth fallback, only when `blacksmith` says auth is missing:
+
+```sh
+blacksmith auth login --non-interactive --organization openclaw
+```
+
+Raw Blacksmith footguns:
+
+- Run from repo root. The CLI syncs the current directory.
+- Save the returned `tbx_...` id in the session.
+- Reuse that id for focused reruns; stop it before handoff.
+- Raw commit SHAs are not reliable `warmup --ref` refs; use a branch or tag.
+- Treat `blacksmith testbox list` as cleanup diagnostics, not a shared reusable
+  queue.
+
+Escalate to owned AWS/Hetzner only when Blacksmith is down, quota-limited,
+missing the needed environment, or owned capacity is the explicit goal. Use the
+Owned Cloud Fallback section below.
+
+## Blacksmith Backend Notes
+
+Crabbox Blacksmith backend delegates setup to:
+
+- org: `openclaw`
+- workflow: `.github/workflows/ci-check-testbox.yml`
+- job: `check`
+- ref: `main` unless testing a branch/tag intentionally
+
+The hydration workflow owns checkout, Node/pnpm setup, dependency install,
+secrets, ready marker, and keepalive. Crabbox owns dispatch, sync, SSH command
+execution, timing, logs/results, and cleanup.
+
+Minimal direct Blacksmith fallback, from repo root:
+
+```sh
+blacksmith testbox warmup ci-check-testbox.yml --ref main --idle-timeout 90
+blacksmith testbox run --id <tbx_id> "env CI=1 NODE_OPTIONS=--max-old-space-size=4096 OPENCLAW_TEST_PROJECTS_PARALLEL=6 OPENCLAW_VITEST_MAX_WORKERS=1 pnpm test:changed"
+blacksmith testbox stop --id <tbx_id>
+```
+
+Use direct Blacksmith only when Crabbox is the broken layer and Blacksmith
+itself still works. Prefer direct `blacksmith testbox list` for cleanup
+diagnostics, not as a reusable work queue.
+
+Important Blacksmith footguns:
+
+- Always run from repo root. The CLI syncs the current directory.
+- Raw commit SHAs are not reliable `warmup --ref` refs; use a branch or tag.
+- If auth is missing and browser auth is acceptable:
+
+```sh
+blacksmith auth login --non-interactive --organization openclaw
+```
+
+## Owned Cloud Fallback
+
+Use AWS/Hetzner only when Blacksmith is down, quota-limited, missing the needed
+environment, or owned capacity is explicitly the goal.
+
+```sh
+pnpm crabbox:warmup -- --provider aws --class beast --market on-demand --idle-timeout 90m
+pnpm crabbox:hydrate -- --id <cbx_id-or-slug>
+pnpm crabbox:run -- --id <cbx_id-or-slug> --timing-json --shell -- "env NODE_OPTIONS=--max-old-space-size=4096 OPENCLAW_TEST_PROJECTS_PARALLEL=6 OPENCLAW_VITEST_MAX_WORKERS=1 OPENCLAW_VITEST_NO_OUTPUT_TIMEOUT_MS=900000 pnpm test:changed"
 pnpm crabbox:stop -- <cbx_id-or-slug>
 ```
 
-## Useful Commands
+Install/auth for owned Crabbox if needed:
+
+```sh
+brew install openclaw/tap/crabbox
+crabbox login --url https://crabbox.openclaw.ai --provider aws
+```
+
+New users should self-resolve broker auth before anyone asks for AWS keys:
+
+```sh
+crabbox config show
+crabbox doctor
+crabbox whoami
+```
+
+- If broker auth is missing, run `crabbox login --url https://crabbox.openclaw.ai --provider aws`.
+- If the CLI asks for `AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID`, `AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY`, or AWS
+  profile setup during normal OpenClaw validation, assume the agent selected
+  the wrong path. Use brokered `crabbox login`, `--provider blacksmith-testbox`,
+  or an existing brokered lease before asking the user for cloud credentials.
+- Ask for AWS keys only for explicit direct-provider/account administration,
+  not for normal brokered OpenClaw proof.
+- Trusted automation may still use
+  `printf '%s' "$CRABBOX_COORDINATOR_TOKEN" | crabbox login --url https://crabbox.openclaw.ai --provider aws --token-stdin`.
+
+macOS config lives at:
+
+```text
+~/Library/Application Support/crabbox/config.yaml
+```
+
+It should include `broker.url`, `broker.token`, and usually `provider: aws`
+for owned-cloud lanes. Do not let that config override the OpenClaw default
+when Blacksmith proof is requested; pass `--provider blacksmith-testbox`.
+
+### Interactive Desktop / WebVNC
+
+For human desktop demos, prefer `webvnc` over native `vnc` and keep the remote
+desktop visible/windowed. Do not fullscreen the remote browser or hide the XFCE
+panel/window chrome unless the explicit goal is video/capture output. After
+launch, verify a screenshot shows the desktop panel plus browser title bar. If
+Chrome is fullscreen, toggle it back with:
+
+```sh
+crabbox run --id <lease> --shell -- 'DISPLAY=:99 xdotool search --onlyvisible --class google-chrome windowactivate key F11'

-## Hydration Boundary
+## Failure Triage
 
-`.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.
+- Crabbox cannot find provider: verify `../crabbox/bin/crabbox --help` lists
+  `blacksmith-testbox`; update Crabbox before falling back.
+- Hydration stuck or failed: open the printed GitHub Actions run URL and inspect
+  the hydration step.
+- Sync failed: rerun with `--debug`; check changed-file count and whether the
+  checkout is dirty.
+- Command failed: rerun only the failing shard/file first. Do not rerun a full
+  suite until the focused failure is understood.
+- Cleanup uncertain: `blacksmith testbox list`; stop owned `tbx_...` leases you
+  created.
+- Crabbox broken but Blacksmith works: use the direct Blacksmith fallback above,
+  then file/fix the Crabbox issue.
 
-Do not add OpenClaw-specific setup to Crabbox. Put repo setup in the hydration
-workflow and generic lease/sync behavior in Crabbox.
+## Boundary
 
-## 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.
-If `crabbox list` prints `orphan=no-active-lease`, treat it as an operator
-review hint; do not delete `keep=true` machines without checking provider and
-coordinator state.
+Do not add OpenClaw-specific setup to Crabbox itself. Put repo setup in the
+hydration workflow and keep Crabbox generic around lease, sync, command
+execution, logs/results, timing, and cleanup.

 - The Windows same-guest update helper should write stage markers to its log before long steps like tgz download and `npm install -g` so the outer progress monitor does not sit on `waiting for first log line` during healthy but quiet installs.
 - Linux same-guest update verification should also export `HOME=/root`, pass `OPENAI_API_KEY` via `prlctl exec ... /usr/bin/env`, and use `openclaw agent --local`; the fresh Linux baseline does not rely on persisted gateway credentials.
 - The npm-update wrapper now prints per-lane progress from the nested log files. If a lane still looks stuck, inspect the nested logs in `runDir` first (`macos-fresh.log`, `windows-fresh.log`, `linux-fresh.log`, `macos-update.log`, `windows-update.log`, `linux-update.log`) instead of assuming the outer wrapper hung.

 - Current known macOS update-lane transport signature when the fallback is missing or bypassed: `Unable to authenticate the user. Make sure that the specified credentials are correct and try again.` Treat that as Parallels current-user authentication before blaming npm or OpenClaw.

+## Surface opener identity
+
+- For every reviewed, triaged, closed, or landed issue/PR, show the opener's human name when available, GitHub login, and account age.
+- Get the login from `gh issue view` / `gh pr view` (`author.login`), then fetch profile metadata once with `gh api users/<login> --jq '{login,name,created_at,type}'`.
+- Report opener identity as one compact line:
+  `By: Jane Doe (@jane, acct 2021-04-03) | OpenClaw: 4 PRs, 2 issues, 11 commits/12mo | GitHub: 9 repos, 86 commits, 9 PRs, 3 issues, 12 reviews`
+- Always show recent activity in two lanes: OpenClaw-local PRs, issues, and commits in the last 12 months; and general public GitHub activity over the same window. For linked issue-fixing PRs, include both the PR author and issue opener when they differ.
+- Prefer the bundled helper for activity lookups:
+
+```bash
+.agents/skills/openclaw-pr-maintainer/scripts/github-activity.sh <login> [other-login...]
+.agents/skills/openclaw-pr-maintainer/scripts/github-activity.sh --global <login>
+```
+
+- The helper reports repo-local activity first and can fetch public GitHub contribution totals for the same window with `--global`; run the global form by default for review/triage identity summaries.
+- If the global contribution graph reports zero or looks inconsistent with visible public activity, sanity-check with `gh api users/<login>`, `gh api 'users/<login>/events/public?per_page=100'`, and recent public repo commits before calling the account inactive.
+- The helper is intentionally cache-friendly for gitcrawl-backed `gh`: it rounds repo-local windows to the UTC day, rounds global contribution windows to the UTC hour, and counts PRs/issues from one paginated issues response before fetching commits separately. Prefer reusing the helper instead of hand-rolling several `gh api` loops.
+- If the contribution graph is misleading or zero but public events/repos show activity, keep it one line, for example:
+  `By: pickaxe (@ProspectOre, acct 2019-08-24) | OpenClaw: 5 PRs, 0 issues, 5 commits/12mo | GitHub: 5 repos, 29 recent events, 100 public own-repo commits; graph=0`
+- If `name` is empty, use the login only. If profile lookup is rate-limited or unavailable, say `account age unknown` rather than omitting the opener.
+- Use identity and activity as triage signal, not proof by itself: new, low-activity, or bot-like accounts can raise review caution, but code, repro, and CI evidence still decide.
+
+## Suppress top-maintainer items in issue triage
+
+When asked for issue triage, hot issues, pressing bugs, Discord-correlated issues, or "what is still open", do not surface issues or PRs authored by top maintainers by default. Prefer external/user-reported hot issues and external PRs, not maintainer-owned work queues.
+
+Suppress by default when the opener/author is one of:
+
+- `@vincentkoc`
+- `@Takhoffman`
+- `@gumadeiras`
+- `@obviyus`
+- `@shakkernerd`
+- `@mbelinky`
+- `@joshavant`
+- `@ngutman`
+- `@vignesh07`
+- `@huntharo`
+
+Also suppress lower-priority maintainer-owned noise from the broader keep/top-maintainer group unless it is directly relevant:

+- `@thewilloftheshadow`
+- `@onutc` / `@osolmaz`
+- `@jacobtomlinson`
+- `@tyler6204`
+- `@velvet-shark`
+- `@jalehman`
+- `@frankekn`
+- `@ImLukeF`
+- `@mcaxtr`
+
+Exceptions:
+
+- Show maintainer-authored items when the requester explicitly asks for maintainer PRs/issues, PR landing candidates, release-blocking maintainer work, or a specific PR/issue number.
+- Show a maintainer-authored item when it is the canonical fix for an external hot issue, but frame it as the fix path rather than as a user-facing issue candidate.
+- Do not close, label, or deprioritize solely because an item is maintainer-authored; this section only controls what appears in triage shortlists.

+
+Use this when setting up or replacing Convex `kind=whatsapp` credentials.

+- Treat WhatsApp QA credentials as operator-owned live accounts, not generated fixtures.
+- Use two dedicated WhatsApp-capable test numbers: one driver account and one SUT account. Do not use personal numbers or personal OpenClaw WhatsApp accounts in the shared pool.
+- Register and link each account manually with WhatsApp or WhatsApp Business, storing Web auth only in isolated local auth dirs outside the repo.
+- For group coverage, create a dedicated test group that includes both QA accounts and store its JID as `groupJid`; otherwise the group mention-gating scenario should be skipped by default and fail when explicitly requested.
+- Package the two Baileys auth dirs into base64 `.tgz` payload fields and add a new active Convex credential row. Prefer adding a fresh row and disabling stale/broken rows over overwriting credentials in place.
+- Expected payload fields: `driverPhoneE164`, `sutPhoneE164`, `driverAuthArchiveBase64`, `sutAuthArchiveBase64`, and optional `groupJid`.
+- Keep credential material out of the repo, logs, PRs, and screenshots. Redact phone numbers unless the operator explicitly asks for local debugging.
+- Validate with `pnpm openclaw qa whatsapp --credential-source convex --credential-role maintainer --provider-mode mock-openai` and preserve artifact paths plus redacted pass/fail summaries.
+- If WhatsApp expires or invalidates a linked Web session, relink locally, package fresh auth archives, add a new Convex row, then disable the stale row.

-description: Audit changelog entries before release
----
-
-Audit changelog entries for all commits since the last release.
-
-## Process
-
-1. **Find the last release tag:**
-
-   ```bash
-   git tag --sort=-version:refname | head -1
-   ```
-
-2. **List all commits since that tag:**
-
-   ```bash
-   git log <tag>..HEAD --oneline
-   ```
-
-3. **Read each package's [Unreleased] section:**
-   - packages/ai/CHANGELOG.md
-   - packages/tui/CHANGELOG.md
-   - packages/coding-agent/CHANGELOG.md
-
-4. **For each commit, check:**
-   - Skip: changelog updates, doc-only changes, release housekeeping
-   - Determine which package(s) the commit affects (use `git show <hash> --stat`)
-   - Verify a changelog entry exists in the affected package(s)
-   - For external contributions (PRs), verify format: `Description ([#N](url) by [@user](url))`
-
-5. **Cross-package duplication rule:**
-   Changes in `ai`, `agent` or `tui` that affect end users should be duplicated to `coding-agent` changelog, since coding-agent is the user-facing package that depends on them.
-
-6. **Add New Features section after changelog fixes:**
-   - Insert a `### New Features` section at the start of `## [Unreleased]` in `packages/coding-agent/CHANGELOG.md`.
-   - Propose the top new features to the user for confirmation before writing them.
-   - Link to relevant docs and sections whenever possible.
-
-7. **Report:**
-   - List commits with missing entries
-   - List entries that need cross-package duplication
-   - Add any missing entries directly
-
-## Changelog Format Reference
-
-Sections (in order):
-
-- `### Breaking Changes` - API changes requiring migration
-- `### Added` - New features
-- `### Changed` - Changes to existing functionality
-- `### Fixed` - Bug fixes
-- `### Removed` - Removed features
-
-Attribution:
-
-- Internal: `Fixed foo ([#123](https://github.com/badlogic/pi-mono/issues/123))`
-- External: `Added bar ([#456](https://github.com/badlogic/pi-mono/pull/456) by [@user](https://github.com/user))`

-description: Analyze GitHub issues (bugs or feature requests)
----
-
-Analyze GitHub issue(s): $ARGUMENTS
-
-For each issue:
-
-1. Read the issue in full, including all comments and linked issues/PRs.
-
-2. **For bugs**:
-   - Ignore any root cause analysis in the issue (likely wrong)
-   - Read all related code files in full (no truncation)
-   - Trace the code path and identify the actual root cause
-   - Propose a fix
-
-3. **For feature requests**:
-   - Read all related code files in full (no truncation)
-   - Propose the most concise implementation approach
-   - List affected files and changes needed
-
-Do NOT implement unless explicitly asked. Analyze and propose only.

 - Core/tests: no deep plugin internals (`extensions/*/src/**`, `onboard.js`). Use `api.ts`, SDK facade, generic contracts.
 - Extension-owned behavior stays extension-owned: repair, detection, onboarding, auth/provider defaults, provider tools/settings.
 - Owner boundary: fix owner-specific behavior in the owner module. Shared/core gets generic seams only; no owner ids, dependency strings, defaults, migrations, or recovery policy. If a bug names an extension or its dependency, start in that extension and add a generic core seam only when multiple owners need it.
+- Dependency ownership follows runtime ownership: extension-only deps stay plugin-local; root deps only for core imports or intentionally internalized bundled plugin runtime.
 - Legacy config repair: doctor/fix paths, not startup/load-time core migrations.
+- No legacy compatibility in core/runtime paths. When old config/store shapes need support, add an `openclaw doctor --fix` rewrite/repair rule with tests and keep runtime code on the canonical contract.
 - Core test asserting extension-specific behavior: move to owner extension or generic contract test.
 - New seams: backwards-compatible, documented, versioned. Third-party plugins exist.
 - Channels: `src/channels/**` is implementation; plugin authors get SDK seams.
 - Providers: core owns generic loop; provider plugins own auth/catalog/runtime hooks.
+- Request-time runtime resolution: when a path already knows the provider id, model ref, channel id, outbound target, capability family, or attachment class, carry that as a prepared runtime fact instead of rediscovering it later.
+- Prepared runtime facts should be small typed values produced once near startup, reply dispatch, model selection, tool planning, or channel resolution, then passed through context to consumers. Prefer `AgentRuntimePlan`, `ProviderRuntimePluginHandle`, scoped model/catalog helpers, active/runtime registries, manifest/public-artifact lookups, single-provider resolvers, and lazy registry construction.
+- Avoid broad request-time rediscovery: hot reply/tool/outbound/media paths should not call broad plugin/provider/channel/capability loaders such as `loadOpenClawPlugins`, `resolveProviderPluginsForHooks`, `resolvePluginCapabilityProviders`, `resolvePluginDiscoveryProvidersRuntime`, `getChannelPlugin`, or broad model/tool/media registry builders just to answer a question the caller already knows. Do not build multimodal/provider registries for document-only or otherwise non-participating paths.
+- Compatibility fallbacks are allowed only for startup/setup/admin/standalone/legacy callers that genuinely lack prepared facts. Keep them explicit, tested, and outside migrated hot reply/tool/outbound paths.
+- Do not fix repeated request-time discovery by adding scattered cache layers. Move the canonical fact earlier, reuse the existing prepared-runtime object, and delete duplicate lookup branches when the last migrated caller stops needing them.
 - Gateway protocol changes: additive first; incompatible needs versioning/docs/client follow-through.

 - Formatting: use `oxfmt`, not Prettier. Prefer `pnpm format:check` / `pnpm format`; for targeted files use `pnpm exec oxfmt --check --threads=1 <files...>` or `pnpm exec oxfmt --write --threads=1 <files...>`.
 - Linting: use repo wrappers (`pnpm lint:*`, `scripts/run-oxlint.mjs`); do not invoke generic JS formatters/lints unless a repo script uses them.

+- Crabbox: preferred live scenario runner when available. It has Linux, Windows, and macOS workers/targets; pick the OS that matches the bug. If unavailable, use the local system, Docker, Parallels, or CI live lane that proves the same behavior.
+- Blacksmith/Testbox: use when the validation needs the remote environment, broad/shared suite capacity, cross-OS/package/Docker/E2E/live proof, or another end-to-end setup that is meaningfully better off-host. Broad fan-out commands such as `pnpm check`, full `pnpm test`, Docker/E2E/live/package/build gates, and wide changed gates belong in Testbox by default.

 - Testbox use: run from repo root, pre-warm early with `blacksmith testbox warmup ci-check-testbox.yml --ref main --idle-timeout 90`, reuse the returned `tbx_...` id for all `run`/`download` commands, and stop boxes you created before handoff. Timeout bins: `90` minutes default, `240` multi-hour, `720` all-day, `1440` overnight; anything above `1440` needs explicit approval and cleanup.

 - PR shortlist: `gh pr list ...`; then `gh pr view <n> --json number,title,body,closingIssuesReferences,files,statusCheckRollup,reviewDecision`.
 - After landing PR: search duplicate open issues/PRs. Before closing: comment why + canonical link.
+- If an issue/PR is already fixed on current `main` or solved by a new release: comment with proof + canonical commit/PR/release, then close.
 - GH comments with markdown backticks, `$`, or shell snippets: avoid inline double-quoted `--body`; use single quotes or `--body-file`.
+- PR create: description/body always required. Include concise Summary + Verification sections; mention issue/PR refs, behavior changed, and exact local/Testbox/CI proof. Never open an empty-description, empty-body, or placeholder-body PR.
 - PR execution artifacts/screenshots: attach them to the PR, comment, or an external artifact store. Do not add `.github/pr-assets` or other PR-only assets to the repo.
 - PR review answer must explicitly cover: what bug/behavior we are trying to fix; PR/issue URL(s) and affected endpoint/surface; whether this is the best possible fix, with high-certainty evidence from code, tests, CI, and shipped/current behavior.

 ## Before You PR
 
 - Test locally with your OpenClaw instance
+- External PRs must include a filled **Real behavior proof** section in the PR body. Show the real setup you tested, the exact command or steps you ran after the patch, after-fix evidence, the observed result, and anything you did not test. Screenshots, recordings, terminal screenshots, console output, copied live output, linked artifacts, and redacted runtime logs all count. Unit tests, mocks, snapshots, lint, typechecks, and CI are useful but do not satisfy this requirement by themselves. Maintainers may apply `proof: override` only when the proof gate should not apply.
 - Run tests: `pnpm build && pnpm check && pnpm test`

+            <description><![CDATA[<h2>OpenClaw 2026.5.7</h2>
+<h3>Fixes</h3>
+<ul>
+<li>Release/plugin publishing: retry transient ClawHub CLI dependency install failures, keep preview-passing plugins publishable when one preview cell flakes, and verify every expected ClawHub package version after publish so maintenance releases are faster to recover and less likely to hide partial plugin publishes.</li>
+<li>OpenAI: support <code>openai/chat-latest</code> as an explicit direct API-key model override for trying the moving ChatGPT Instant API alias without changing the stable default model.</li>
+<li>Cron CLI: include computed <code>status</code> in <code>cron list --json</code> and <code>cron show --json</code> output so external tooling can read disabled/running/ok/error/skipped/idle state without reimplementing cron status derivation. (#78701) Thanks @aweiker.</li>
+<li>Channels CLI: make <code>openclaw channels list</code> channel-only, add <code>--all</code> for bundled and catalog channels, render installed/configured/enabled state, and move model auth/usage details to <code>openclaw models auth list</code>, <code>openclaw status</code>, and <code>openclaw models list</code>. (#78456) Thanks @sliverp.</li>
+<li>Native commands: honor owner enforcement for native command handlers. (#78864) Thanks @pgondhi987.</li>
+<li>Active Memory: require admin scope for global memory toggles. (#78863) Thanks @pgondhi987.</li>
+<li>Gateway/sessions: clear cached skills snapshots during <code>/new</code> and <code>sessions.reset</code> so long-lived channel sessions rebuild the visible skill list after skills change. (#78873) Thanks @Evizero.</li>
+<li>Auto-reply: gate inline skill tool dispatch through before-tool-call authorization hooks. (#78517) Thanks @pgondhi987.</li>
+<li>Tavily: resolve dedicated <code>tavily_search</code> and <code>tavily_extract</code> tool credentials from the active runtime config snapshot, so <code>exec</code> SecretRef-backed API keys do not reach the tools unresolved. (#78610) Thanks @VACInc.</li>
+<li>Plugins/install: use the same absolute POSIX npm lifecycle shell for managed plugin install, rollback, repair, and uninstall npm operations as staged package updates, preventing restricted PATH shells from breaking cleanup. Thanks @vincentkoc.</li>
+<li>Agents/context engine: invalidate cached assembled context views when source history shrinks or assembly fails, preventing stale pre-reset history from being reused. Fixes #77968. (#78163) Thanks @brokemac79 and @ChrisBot2026.</li>
+<li>Discord/message: parse provider-prefixed targets like <code>discord:channel:<id></code> as channel sends instead of legacy Discord DM targets, so cross-channel agent <code>message(action="send")</code> calls no longer misroute channel IDs into misleading <code>Unknown Channel</code> failures. Fixes #78572.</li>
+<li>Agents/compaction: clamp compaction summary reserve tokens to each model's output limit so high-context compaction no longer requests invalid <code>max_tokens</code> values. (#54392) Thanks @adzendo.</li>
+<li>Commands/BTW: show the <code>/btw</code> missing-question usage placeholder with brackets so outbound channel sanitization keeps it visible. Fixes #62877. Thanks @RajvardhanPatil07.</li>
+<li>Cron/doctor: repair persisted cron jobs whose <code>payload.model</code> was stored as <code>"default"</code>, <code>"null"</code>, blank, or JSON <code>null</code> by removing the bad override during <code>openclaw doctor --fix</code> while keeping cron runtime model validation strict. Fixes #78549. Thanks @bizzle12368239.</li>
+<li>Telegram: honor <code>accessGroup:*</code> sender allowlists for DMs, groups, native commands, and callback authorization before applying Telegram's numeric sender-ID checks. Fixes #78660. Thanks @manugc.</li>
+<li>Agent delivery: report <code>deliverySucceeded=false</code> when outbound delivery returns no adapter result, so claimed/empty delivery paths no longer masquerade as successful sends. Fixes #78532. Thanks @joeyfrasier.</li>
+<li>Cron/isolated runs: fail implicit announce delivery before model execution when <code>delivery.channel=last</code> has no previous route, so recurring jobs do not spend tokens before hitting a permanent delivery-target error. Fixes #78608. Thanks @sallyom.</li>
+<li>Gateway/sessions: persist a new generated transcript file when daily gateway-agent session rollover changes the session id, while preserving custom transcript paths. Fixes #78607. Thanks @nailujac, @zerone0x, and @sallyom.</li>
+<li>Doctor/Codex OAuth: preserve working <code>openai-codex/*</code> PI routes during <code>doctor --fix</code> and recover 2026.5.5-rewritten <code>openai/*</code> GPT-5 routes when only Codex OAuth auth is available, so update repair does not break subscription-auth setups. Fixes #78407. Thanks @shakkernerd.</li>
+<li>Telegram: keep the polling watchdog tied to <code>getUpdates</code> liveness so unrelated outbound Bot API calls cannot mask a wedged inbound poller. Fixes #78422. Thanks @ai-hpc.</li>
+<li>Agents/subagents: have completed session-mode subagent registry rows honor <code>agents.defaults.subagents.archiveAfterMinutes</code> instead of a hardcoded 5-minute TTL, so registry-backed surfaces keep one retention knob across spawn modes. (#78263) Thanks @arniesaha.</li>
+<li>Plugins/channel setup: forward <code>setChannelRuntime</code> from non-bundled external plugin setup entries so deferred external channel runtime initializers are installed before startup polling. Fixes #77779. (#77799) Thanks @openperf.</li>
+<li>Telegram: treat successful same-chat <code>message</code> tool outbound sends during an inbound Telegram turn as delivered when deciding whether to emit the rewritten silent reply fallback. (#78685) Thanks @neeravmakwana.</li>
+<li>Gateway/tasks: reconcile stale CLI run-context tasks whose live run context disappeared and bound channel hot-reload deferrals so stale task records cannot block Discord/Slack/Telegram reloads forever.</li>
+<li>Discord/voice: audit Discord voice-channel permissions in <code>channels capabilities</code> and <code>channels status --probe</code>, including auto-join targets, so missing Connect/Speak/Read Message History permissions show up before <code>/vc join</code>.</li>
+<li>Discord/voice: make voice capture less choppy by extending the default post-speech silence grace to 2.5s, add <code>voice.captureSilenceGraceMs</code> for noisy Discord sessions, and tighten the spoken-output prompt around live STT fragments. Thanks @vincentkoc.</li>
+<li>WhatsApp: route proactive phone-number sends through Baileys LID forward mappings when available, so LID-addressed contacts receive agent messages instead of creating sender-only ghost chats. Fixes #67378. (#74925) Thanks @edenfunf.</li>
+<li>WhatsApp: send captioned <code>MEDIA:</code> directive auto-replies once instead of emitting an empty media message before the captioned media reply. (#78770) Thanks @ai-hpc.</li>
+<li>Codex/approvals: in Codex approval modes, stop installing the pre-guardian native <code>PermissionRequest</code> hook by default so Codex's reviewer can approve safe commands before OpenClaw surfaces an approval, remember <code>allow-always</code> decisions for identical Codex native <code>PermissionRequest</code> payloads within the active session window, and make plugin approval requests validate/render their actual allowed decisions so Telegram and other native approval UIs cannot offer stale actions. Thanks @shakkernerd.</li>
+<li>Model providers: normalize APNG sniffed PNG uploads, preserve Gemini 3 tool-call thought-signature replay with fallback signatures, accept legacy <code>__env__:VAR</code> custom-provider keys, and repair snake_case tool-call transcript sanitization. Fixes #51881, #48915, #77566, and #42858.</li>
+<li>Telegram/models: parse provider ids containing dots in <code>/models</code> callback buttons so <code>hf.co</code> model lists render as inline keyboard buttons. Fixes #38745.</li>

+<h3>Highlights</h3>
+<ul>
+<li>External plugin installation, update, doctor repair, dependency reporting, and artifact metadata now cover the npm-first cutover, stale configured installs, missing package payloads, and beta-channel plugin fallback. Thanks @vincentkoc.</li>
+<li>Gateway and agent hot paths are leaner across startup, session listing, task maintenance, prompt prep, plugin loading, tool descriptor planning, filesystem guards, and large runtime configs.</li>
+<li>Control UI and WebChat are more resilient across Sessions, Cron, long-running Gateway WebSockets, grouped-message width, slash-command feedback, iOS PWA bounds, selection contrast, and Talk diagnostics.</li>
+<li>Messaging fixes cover WhatsApp Channel/Newsletter targets, Telegram topic commands and networking, Discord delivery/startup edge cases, Slack threads, Signal groups/media, and visible reply routing.</li>
+<li>Provider and media fixes cover OpenAI-compatible TTS/Realtime, OpenRouter/DeepSeek replay, Anthropic-compatible streaming, LM Studio reasoning metadata, Brave/SearXNG/Firecrawl web search, media paths, music, and voice-call routing.</li>
+</ul>
+<h3>Changes</h3>
+<ul>
+<li>Gateway/startup and restart: skip plugin-backed auth-profile overlays during startup secrets preflight, reducing gateway readiness latency while keeping reload and OAuth recovery paths overlay-capable; add <code>openclaw gateway restart --force</code> and <code>--wait <duration></code>, log active task run IDs before restart deferral timers, and report timeout restarts as explicit forced restarts. (#68327) Thanks @JIRBOY.</li>
+<li>Plugins/ClawHub: make diagnostics, onboarding, doctor repair, and channel setup carry ClawPack metadata through install records while keeping explicit <code>clawhub:</code> installs on ClawHub and bare package installs on npm for the launch cutover. Thanks @vincentkoc.</li>
+<li>Plugins/CLI: include package dependency install state in <code>openclaw plugins list --json</code> so scripts can spot missing plugin dependencies without runtime-loading plugins.</li>
+<li>Plugins/update: on the beta OpenClaw update channel, default-line npm and ClawHub plugin updates try <code>@beta</code> first and fall back to default/latest when no plugin beta release exists.</li>
+<li>Plugins/runtime: scope broad runtime preloads to the effective plugin ids derived from config, startup planning, configured channels, slots, and auto-enable rules instead of importing every discoverable plugin.</li>
+<li>Agents/runtime: reuse the startup-loaded plugin registry for request-time providers, tools, channel actions, web/capability/memory/migration helpers, and memoized provider extra-params, and memoize transcript replay-policy resolution for stable config and process-env runs while preserving model-specific transport hook patches and custom-env provider behavior. Thanks @DmitryPogodaev.</li>
+<li>Infra/path-guards: add a fast path for canonical absolute POSIX containment checks, avoiding repeated <code>path.resolve</code> and <code>path.relative</code> work in hot filesystem walkers. Refs #75895, #75575, and #68782. Thanks @Enderfga.</li>
+<li>Tools/plugins: add a platform-level tool descriptor planner for descriptor-first visibility, generic availability checks, and executor references, and cache plugin tool descriptors captured from <code>api.registerTool(...)</code> so repeated prompt-time planning can skip plugin runtime loading while execution still loads the live plugin tool. (#76079) Thanks @shakkernerd.</li>
+<li>Docs/Codex: clarify that ChatGPT/Codex subscription setups should use <code>openai/gpt-*</code> with <code>agentRuntime.id: "codex"</code> for native Codex runtime, while <code>openai-codex/*</code> remains the PI OAuth route. Thanks @pashpashpash.</li>
+<li>Plugins/source checkout: load bundled plugins from the <code>extensions/*</code> pnpm workspace tree in source checkouts, so plugin-local dependencies and edits are used directly while packaged installs keep using the built runtime tree. Thanks @vincentkoc.</li>
+<li>Plugins/beta: externalize ACPX behind <code>@openclaw/acpx</code> and diagnostics OpenTelemetry behind <code>@openclaw/diagnostics-otel</code>, keeping their heavier runtime stacks out of the core package until installed; prepare Google Chat, LINE, Matrix, Mattermost, BlueBubbles, diagnostics Prometheus, Google Meet, Nextcloud Talk, Nostr, Zalo, Zalo Personal, diagnostics OpenTelemetry, Discord, Diffs, Lobster, Memory LanceDB, Microsoft Teams, QQ Bot, Voice Call, WhatsApp, Brave, Codex, Feishu, Synology Chat, Tlon, and Twitch for <code>2026.5.1-beta.1</code>/<code>2026.5.1-beta.2</code> npm and ClawHub publishing, and keep publishable plugin dist trees out of the core npm package. Thanks @vincentkoc.</li>
+<li>Providers/xAI: add Grok 4.3 to the bundled catalog and make it the default xAI chat model.</li>
+<li>Google Meet: let API-created rooms set <code>accessType</code> and <code>entryPointAccess</code>, add <code>googlemeet end-active-conference</code> for closing managed spaces after a call, and add <code>googlemeet test-listen</code> plus the matching <code>google_meet</code> <code>test_listen</code> action so transcribe-mode joins wait for real caption or transcript movement before reporting listen-first health. (#74824; refs #72478) Thanks @BsnizND and @DougButdorf.</li>
+<li>Plugins/ClawHub/onboarding: prefer versioned ClawPack artifacts when ClawHub publishes digest metadata, verify ClawPack response headers and downloaded bytes, persist ClawPack digest/artifact metadata on install/update records and install-on-demand provider setup entries, and allow official bundled-plugin cutovers to record ClawHub artifact metadata while preserving npm as the launch default for bare package specs and retaining npm/local fallback paths. Thanks @vincentkoc.</li>
+<li>Plugins/Crestodian: add ClawHub plugin search plus Crestodian plugin list/search/install/uninstall operations, with approval and audit coverage for install and uninstall.</li>
+<li>Channels/thread bindings: replace split subagent/ACP thread-spawn toggles with <code>threadBindings.spawnSessions</code>, default thread-bound spawns on, and let <code>openclaw doctor --fix</code> migrate the legacy keys. (#75943)</li>
+<li>Providers/OpenAI: add <code>extraBody</code>/<code>extra_body</code> passthrough for OpenAI-compatible TTS endpoints, so custom speech servers can receive fields such as <code>lang</code> in <code>/audio/speech</code> requests. Fixes #39900. Thanks @R3NK0R.</li>
+<li>Channels/WhatsApp: support explicit WhatsApp Channel/Newsletter <code>@newsletter</code> outbound message targets with channel session metadata instead of DM routing. Fixes #13417; carries forward the narrow outbound target idea from #13424. Thanks @vincentkoc and @agentz-manfred.</li>
+<li>Dependencies: refresh workspace, bundled runtime, and plugin dependency pins, including TypeBox 1.1.37, AWS SDK 3.1041.0, Microsoft Teams 2.0.9, Marked 18.0.3, Pi 0.71.1, OpenAI 6.35.0, Codex 0.128.0, Zod 4.4.1, and Matrix 41.4.0. Thanks @mariozechner, @aws, and @microsoft.</li>
+<li>Discord/channels: add reusable message-channel access groups plus Discord channel-audience DM authorization, so allowlists can reference <code>accessGroup:<name></code> across channel auth paths. (#75813)</li>
+<li>Crabbox/scripts: print the selected Crabbox binary, version, and supported providers before <code>pnpm crabbox:*</code> commands, and reject stale binaries that lack <code>blacksmith-testbox</code> provider support.</li>
+<li>Agents/Codex: add committed happy-path prompt snapshots for Codex/message-tool Telegram direct, Discord group, and heartbeat turns so prompt drift can be reviewed. Thanks @pashpashpash.</li>
+<li>Agents/workspace: add <code>agents.defaults.skipOptionalBootstrapFiles</code> for skipping selected optional workspace files during bootstrap without disabling required workspace setup. (#62110) Thanks @mainstay22.</li>
+<li>Plugins/CLI: add first-class <code>git:</code> plugin installs with ref checkout, commit metadata, normal scanner/staging, and <code>plugins update</code> support for recorded git sources. Thanks @badlogic.</li>
+<li>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.</li>
+<li>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.</li>
+<li>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.</li>
+<li>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.</li>
+<li>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.</li>
+<li>Messages/docs: clarify that <code>BodyForAgent</code> is the primary inbound model text while <code>Body</code> is the legacy envelope fallback, and add Signal coverage so channel hardening patches target the real prompt path. Refs #66198. Thanks @defonota3box.</li>
+<li>Slack: publish a safe default App Home tab view on <code>app_home_opened</code>, include the Home tab event in setup manifests, and keep track of bot-participated threads across restarts so ongoing threaded conversations can continue auto-replying after the Gateway restarts. Fixes #11655; refs #52020. Thanks @TinyTb and @amknight.</li>
+<li>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.</li>
+<li>BlueBubbles: add opt-in <code>channels.bluebubbles.replyContextApiFallback</code> 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 <code>mergeAccountConfig</code>; routed through the typed <code>BlueBubblesClient</code> 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 (<code>p:0/<guid></code>) are stripped before the request; concurrent webhooks for the same <code>replyToId</code> 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 <code>sanitizeForLog</code> to redact <code>?password=…</code>/<code>?token=…</code> query params and <code>Authorization:</code> headers before they reach the log sink (CWE-532). (#71820) Thanks @coletebou and @zqchris.</li>
+<li>CLI/proxy: add <code>openclaw proxy validate</code> 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.</li>
+<li>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; default Codex-harness direct source replies to the OpenClaw <code>message</code> tool when visible reply delivery is not explicitly configured, keeping channel-visible output as a deliberate tool call. (#75308, #75765) Thanks @pashpashpash.</li>
+<li>Heartbeats/agents: add a structured <code>heartbeat_respond</code> tool for tool-capable heartbeat runs so agents can record quiet outcomes or explicit notification text without relying only on <code>HEARTBEAT_OK</code> parsing. (#75765) Thanks @pashpashpash.</li>
+<li>Gateway/config: allow <code>$include</code> directives to read files from operator-approved <code>OPENCLAW_INCLUDE_ROOTS</code> directories while preserving default config-directory confinement. Thanks @ificator.</li>
+</ul>
+<h3>Fixes</h3>
+<ul>
+<li>Agents/OpenAI: default GPT-5 API-key sessions to the SSE Responses transport unless WebSocket is explicitly selected, restoring replies in fresh Control UI and WebChat beta installs where the auto WebSocket path connected but produced no model events.</li>
+<li>Agents/sessions: preserve terminal lifecycle state when final run metadata persists from a stale in-memory snapshot, preventing sessions from staying stuck as running after completed or timed-out turns.</li>
+<li>Gateway/CLI/status: make <code>openclaw gateway start</code> repair stale managed service definitions that point at old OpenClaw versions, missing binaries, or temporary installer paths before starting; add concrete service, config, listener-owner, and log collection next steps when gateway probes fail and Bonjour finds no local gateway; avoid repeated plugin tool descriptor config hashing so large runtime configs do not block reply startup and trigger reconnect/timeouts. Refs #49012. (#75944) Thanks @vincentkoc and @joshavant.</li>
+<li>Plugins/update/config: stop treating the non-plugin <code>auth</code> command root as a bundled plugin id, keep packaged upgrades and beta external plugin installs on stable runtime aliases and matching prerelease npm specs, detect tracked plugin install records whose package directories disappeared during <code>openclaw update</code>, reinstall them before normal plugin updates, fail the update if install records still point at missing disk payloads, and validate configured web-search providers plus statically suppressed model/provider pairs against the active plugin set at config load. Thanks @vincentkoc.</li>
+<li>Codex/app-server: resolve managed binaries from bundled <code>dist</code> chunks and from the <code>@openai/codex</code> package bin when installs do not provide a nearby <code>.bin/codex</code> shim, avoiding false missing-binary startup failures.</li>
+<li>Status: show the <code>openai-codex</code> OAuth profile for <code>openai/gpt-*</code> sessions running through the native Codex runtime instead of reporting auth as unknown. (#76197) Thanks @mbelinky.</li>
+<li>Status/update: resolve beta update-channel checks from the installed version when config still says <code>stable</code>, show configured channels in <code>openclaw status</code> and config-only <code>openclaw channels status</code> output even when the Gateway is unreachable, and let <code>status --deep</code> reuse live gateway channel credential state instead of warning on command-path-only token misses. Thanks @vincentkoc.</li>
+<li>Plugins/externalization: add official npm-first catalogs for externalized channel, provider, and generic plugins; install official external web-search plugins before saving provider config; repair missing configured, selected-search, and env-selected plugin installs from npm by default; keep official install docs, update examples, live Codex checks, diagnostics ClawHub packages, and persisted bundled-plugin relocation on default npm tags; keep Matrix and Mattermost bundled until their npm packages cut over; and keep ACPX, Google Chat, and LINE publishable plugin dist trees out of the core package while ClawHub pack files roll out. Thanks @vincentkoc.</li>
+<li>Plugins/ClawHub/source/registry: use the ClawHub artifact resolver response as the install decision before downloading, keep bare plugin package specs on npm for the launch cutover and reserve ClawHub resolution for explicit <code>clawhub:</code> specs until ClawHub pack readiness is deployed, discover source-only plugins such as Codex from <code>extensions/*</code>, install ClawPack artifacts from the explicit npm-pack <code>.tgz</code> resolver path, persist artifact kind, npm integrity, shasum, and tarball metadata for update/diagnostics flows, fall back to version metadata when the artifact resolver route is missing, keep the Docker ClawHub fixture aligned with npm-pack artifact resolution, explain unavailable explicit ClawHub ClawPack artifact downloads with a temporary npm install hint, and hash manifest/package metadata when validating persisted plugin registries so fast same-size rewrites cannot leave stale plugin metadata trusted. Thanks @vincentkoc.</li>
+<li>Control UI: add validated <code>gateway.controlUi.chatMessageMaxWidth</code> instead of patched bundled CSS, ignore malformed persisted cron rows before they enter UI state, guard stale cron render paths, and bound the default Sessions tab query to recent activity and fewer rows while keeping filters editable. Fixes #67935, #55047, #54439, and #76050; supersedes #54550 and #54552. (#76051) Thanks @xiew4589-lang and @Neomail2.</li>
+<li>Gateway/channels: cap startup fanout at four channel/account handoffs and recover from Bonjour ciao self-probe races, reducing Windows startup stalls with many Telegram accounts. Fixes #75687.</li>
+<li>Gateway/sessions: keep <code>sessions.list</code> polling responsive on large session stores by reusing list-safe session cache/indexes and returning a lightweight compaction checkpoint preview instead of heavyweight summaries. Thanks @rolandrscheel.</li>
+<li>Control UI/Gateway: keep long-running dashboard WebSocket sessions alive with protocol pings, keep Stop available after reconnect or reload by recovering session-scoped active-run abort state, contain standalone iOS PWA viewports with safe-area-aware document locking, use high-contrast text selection colors, and show inline feedback when local slash-command dispatch is unavailable or fails unexpectedly. Fixes #70991, #60850, and #52105; supersedes #60854. Thanks @alexandre-leng, @kvncrw, @Badschaff, @efe-arv, and @MooreQiao.</li>
+<li>CLI/update: treat inherited Gateway service markers as origin hints and only block package replacement when the managed Gateway is still live, so self-updates can stop the service and continue safely. (#75729) Thanks @hxy91819.</li>
+<li>Agents/failover: exempt run-level timeouts that fire during tool execution from model fallback, timeout-triggered compaction, and generic timeout payload synthesis, avoiding misleading "LLM request timed out" errors after the primary model has already responded. Fixes #52147. (#75873) Thanks @simonusa.</li>
+<li>Docker: copy Bun 1.3.13 from a digest-pinned image and keep CI on the same version. Fixes #74356. Thanks @fede-kamel and @sallyom.</li>
+<li>Agents/compaction: keep prior context on consecutive turns against z.ai-style providers (z.ai direct, openrouter z-ai/\*, in-house GLM gateways), avoiding accidental Pi state reset after successful turns. (#76056) Thanks @openperf.</li>
+<li>Doctor/plugins: run a one-time 2026.5.2 configured-plugin install repair based on <code>meta.lastTouchedVersion</code>, update stale configured plugin manifests that still declare channels without <code>channelConfigs</code>, install actively used downloadable OpenClaw plugins through the configured external source, preserve unmanaged third-party plugin <code>node_modules</code>, and then mark the config touched for the release.</li>
+<li>Sessions/transcripts: use one <code>session.writeLock.acquireTimeoutMs</code> policy for session transcript lock acquisitions and raise the default wait to 60 seconds, avoiding user-visible lock timeouts during legitimate slow prep, cleanup, compaction, and mirror work. Fixes #75894. Thanks @shandutta.</li>
+<li>Agents/restart recovery: match cleaned transcript locks by exact transcript lock paths plus the canonical session fallback, so interrupted main sessions using topic-suffixed transcripts resume after gateway restart. Refs #76052. Thanks @anyech.</li>
+<li>Agents/runtime: cache the stable system-prompt prefix and reuse prompt-report tool schema stats during dispatch prep, reducing repeated CPU work before streaming starts. Fixes #75999; supersedes #76061. Thanks @zackchiutw and @STLI69.</li>
+<li>Telegram/native commands: pass persisted session files into plugin commands for topic-bound sessions, so <code>/codex bind</code> works from Telegram forum topics. Refs #75845 and #76049. Thanks @MatthewSchleder.</li>
+<li>Security audit/plugins: ignore plugin install backup, disabled, and dependency debris directories when enumerating installed plugin roots, avoiding false-positive findings for <code>.openclaw-install-backups</code> after plugin updates. Fixes #75456.</li>
+<li>Telegram: honor runtime conversation bindings for native slash commands in bound top-level groups, so commands like <code>/status@bot</code> route to the active non-<code>main</code> session instead of falling back to the default route. Fixes #75405; supersedes #75558. Thanks @ziptbm and @yfge.</li>
+<li>Gateway/tasks: make task registry maintenance use pass-local backing-session lookups and fresh active child-session indexes, avoiding repeated full task snapshots and session-store clones on large stale registries. Fixes #73517 and #75708; supersedes #74406 and #75709. Thanks @Lightningxxl, @glfruit, and @jared-rebel.</li>
+<li>Auth/sessions: JSON-clone auth-profile cache/runtime snapshots and remaining session cleanup previews instead of using <code>structuredClone</code>, preserving mutation isolation while avoiding native-memory growth on large stores. Fixes #45438. Thanks @markus-lassfolk.</li>
+<li>Models CLI: restore <code>openclaw models list --provider <id></code> catalog and registry fallback rows for unconfigured providers, so provider-specific verification commands no longer report "No models found." Fixes #75517; supersedes #75615. Thanks @lotsoftick and @koshaji.</li>
+<li>Gateway/macOS: write LaunchAgent services with a canonical system PATH and stop preserving old plist PATH entries, so Volta, asdf, fnm, and pnpm shell paths no longer affect gateway child-process Node resolution. Fixes #75233; supersedes #75246. Thanks @nphyde2.</li>
+<li>Slack/hooks: preserve bot alert attachment text in message-received hook content when command text is blank. Fixes #76035; refs #76036. Thanks @amsminn.</li>
+<li>Sessions/agents: route Gateway session-store writes, CLI cleanup maintenance, and agent-delete session purges through a dedicated in-process writer and borrow the validated mutable cache during the writer slot, avoiding runtime file locks plus repeated <code>sessions.json</code> rereads and JSON clones on hot metadata updates. Refs #68554. Thanks @henkterharmsel.</li>
+<li>Memory/markdown: replace CRLF managed blocks in place and collapse duplicate marker blocks without rewriting unmanaged markdown, so Dreaming and Memory Wiki files self-heal from repeated generated sections. Fixes #75491; supersedes #75495, #75810, and #76008. Thanks @asaenokkostya-coder, @ottodeng, @everettjf, and @lrg913427-dot.</li>
+<li>Agents/tools: return critical tool-loop circuit-breaker stops as blocked tool results instead of thrown tool failures, so models see the guardrail and stop retrying the same call. Thanks @rayraiser.</li>
+<li>Agents/sessions: preserve pre-existing runtime model and context window after heartbeat turns so a per-run heartbeat model override does not bleed into shared-session status. Fixes #75452. Thanks @zhangguiping-xydt.</li>
+<li>Model commands: clarify direct and inline <code>/model</code> acknowledgements for non-default selections as session-scoped. Thanks @addu2612.</li>
+<li>Doctor/gateway: stop warning that non-existent, unconfigured user-bin directories are required in the Gateway service PATH. Fixes #76017. Thanks @xiphis.</li>
+<li>TUI/setup: skip full provider model normalization during context-window warmup and bound Terminal hatch bootstrap provider requests, avoiding cold-start stalls with large model registries and first-run hatching stuck behind the watchdog. (#76241) Thanks @547895019 and @joshavant.</li>
+<li>Agents: enable malformed tool-call argument repair for Codex and Azure OpenAI Responses transports while keeping generic OpenAI Responses paths out of the repair gate. Fixes #75154. Thanks @Nimraakram22.</li>
+<li>Memory Wiki: accept relative Markdown links that include the <code>.md</code> suffix during broken-wikilink validation, avoiding false positives for native render-mode links. Thanks @Kenneth8128.</li>
+<li>OpenAI Codex: show the device-pairing code in the interactive SSH/headless prompt while keeping the short-lived code out of persistent runtime logs. Fixes #74212. Thanks @da22le123.</li>
+<li>QA Lab: stop gateway children when the suite parent disappears, so interrupted local QA runs cannot leave hot orphaned gateways behind.</li>
+<li>Codex/app-server/plugins: tolerate second connection closes during startup recovery, include retry counts plus stringified restart errors, and allow the official npm Codex plugin to install without the unsafe-install override while keeping <code>/codex</code> command ownership and covering the real npm Docker live path through managed <code>.openclaw/npm</code> dependencies plus uninstall failure proof.</li>
+<li>Plugins/CLI: cache plugin CLI registration entries per command program so completion state generation does not repeat the full plugin sweep in one invocation. Thanks @ScientificProgrammer.</li>
+<li>Plugins: reuse gateway-bindable plugin loader cache entries for later default-mode loads without serving default-built registries to gateway-bound requests, reducing repeated plugin registration during dispatch. Refs #61756. Thanks @DmitryPogodaev.</li>
+<li>Gateway/secrets: include the caught error message in <code>secrets.reload</code> and <code>secrets.resolve</code> warning logs while keeping RPC errors generic, so operators can diagnose reload and permission failures. Thanks @davidangularme.</li>
+<li>Providers/OpenRouter/LM Studio/Anthropic: fill DeepSeek V4 <code>reasoning_content</code> replay placeholders for <code>openrouter/deepseek/deepseek-v4-flash</code> and <code>openrouter/deepseek/deepseek-v4-pro</code>, normalize binary LM Studio reasoning metadata from Gemma 4 and other local models, and recover Anthropic-compatible stream text deltas that arrive before their matching content block. Fixes #76018 and #76007. Thanks @cloph-dsp and @vliuyt.</li>
+<li>fix(infra): block workspace state-directory env override [AI]. (#75940) Thanks @pgondhi987.</li>
+<li>MCP/OpenAI and media: normalize parameter-free MCP tool schemas before OpenAI tool submission, honor explicit short <code>[[tts:text]]...[[/tts:text]]</code> blocks while keeping untagged short auto-TTS suppressed, and accept home-relative <code>MEDIA:~/...</code> attachment paths under the existing file-read policy. Fixes #75362, #73758, and #73796. Thanks @tolkonepiu, @SymbolStar, @yfge, and @fabkury.</li>
+<li>Hooks/doctor: warn when <code>hooks.transformsDir</code> points outside the canonical hooks transform directory, so invalid workspace skill paths get a direct recovery hint before the Gateway crash-loops. Fixes #75853. Thanks @midobk.</li>
+<li>Proxy/audio: convert standard <code>FormData</code> bodies before proxy-backed undici fetches, so audio transcription and multipart uploads no longer send <code>[object FormData]</code> when <code>HTTP_PROXY</code> or <code>HTTPS_PROXY</code> is configured. Fixes #48554. Thanks @dco5.</li>
+<li>Discord/setup/startup/native commands: write resolved guild/channel allowlist selections to the selected guild and channel, persist slash-command deploy hashes across process restarts, treat abort-time Carbon reconnect-exhausted events as expected shutdown during stale-socket restarts, allow explicit ack reactions in tool-only guild channels, and warn when slash dispatch or direct plugin execution produces no visible reply. Fixes #74922 and #58986; carries forward #58216; supersedes #47788, #73949, and #62057. Thanks @samvilian, @BlueBirdBack, @Eldersonar, @Perttulands, and @jb510.</li>
+<li>Discord/delivery/media: use session-backed A2A announce target lookup for multi-account <code>sessions_send</code>, keep typing indicators alive during long tool runs and auto-compaction, preserve multipart Content-Type headers for uploads, preserve attachment and sticker filenames, and keep non-ASCII channel names in session labels while preserving ASCII-slug allowlists. Fixes #42652 and #59744; refs #51626 and #44773; supersedes #73975. Thanks @irchelper, @dpalfox, @Lanfei, @Squirbie, @FunJim, @xela92, @rockcent, and @swjeong9.</li>
+<li>Discord/threads/PluralKit: canonicalize proxied webhook turns to the original message id for dedupe, inject thread starter context only on the first effective thread turn, and resolve thread <code>ownerId</code>/<code>parentId</code> from Discord API-style snake_case payload fields so bot-owned autoThreads do not require unnecessary mentions. Fixes #41355; supersedes #44447 and #44449. Thanks @acgh213, @p3nchan, and @mgh3326.</li>
+<li>Gateway/diagnostics: include a bounded redacted startup error message in stability bundles, so crash-loop reports identify the failing plugin or contract without exposing secrets. Refs #75797. Thanks @ymebosma.</li>
+<li>Gateway/pricing: defer optional model pricing catalog refresh until after sidecars and channels reach the ready path, so slow OpenRouter or LiteLLM pricing fetches cannot block Gateway readiness. Fixes #74128; supersedes #73486. Thanks @ctbritt and @alprclbi.</li>
+<li>Gateway/pricing: abort in-flight model pricing catalog fetches when Gateway shutdown stops the refresh loop, and avoid post-stop cache writes or refresh timers. Fixes #72208. Thanks @rzcq.</li>
+<li>Codex/app-server: make startup retry cleanup ownership-aware so concurrent Codex lanes cannot close another lane's freshly restarted shared app-server client. Thanks @vincentkoc.</li>
+<li>Google Meet/Twilio/Voice Call: report missing dial-in details during setup, explain that Twilio needs a phone dial plan for Meet URLs, start the phone leg before Meet PIN DTMF, delay intro speech until after post-connect dialing, log each stage, and accept provider call IDs for gateway speak/continue while reporting ended-call state from history.</li>
+<li>Control UI/Talk: allow the OpenAI Realtime WebRTC offer endpoint through the Control UI CSP, configure browser sessions with explicit VAD/transcription input settings, and surface OpenAI realtime error/lifecycle events instead of leaving Talk stuck as live with no diagnostic. Fixes #73427.</li>
+<li>Plugins: clarify config-selected duplicate plugin override diagnostics and document manifest schema updates for bundled-plugin forks. Fixes #8582. Thanks @sachah.</li>
+<li>CLI backends/Claude: make live-session JSONL turn caps bounded and configurable via <code>reliability.outputLimits</code>, raising the default guard for tool-heavy Claude CLI turns while preserving memory limits. Fixes #75838. Thanks @hcordoba840.</li>
+<li>Telegram/DMs/network/commands: keep incidental <code>message_thread_id</code> reply-with-quote metadata on flat DM sessions unless topic isolation is configured, raise outbound text and typing Bot API guards to 60 seconds with safe timeout overrides and typing fallback retries, and register/clear command menus in default and group-chat scopes so <code>/status</code> and plugin commands stay available in forum topics. Fixes #75975, #76013, and #74032; updates #6457. Thanks @ProjectEvolutionEVE, @iaki1206, @dae-sun, and @WouldenShyp.</li>
+<li>Providers/OpenAI: resolve <code>keychain:<service>:<account></code> <code>OPENAI_API_KEY</code> refs before creating OpenAI Realtime browser sessions or voice bridges, with a bounded cached Keychain lookup. Fixes #72120. Thanks @ctbritt.</li>
+<li>Discord/gateway: reconnect when the gateway socket closes while waiting for the shared IDENTIFY concurrency window, instead of silently skipping IDENTIFY and leaving the bot online but unresponsive. Fixes #74617. Thanks @zeeskdr-ai.</li>
+<li>Voice Call: add <code>sessionScope: "per-call"</code> for fresh per-call agent memory while preserving the default per-phone caller history. Fixes #45280. Thanks @pondcountry.</li>
+<li>Music generation: raise too-small tool timeouts to the provider-safe 10-second floor and collapse cascading abort fallback errors into a clearer root-cause summary. Thanks @shakkernerd.</li>
+<li>Memory-core/dreaming: include the primary runtime workspace in multi-agent dreaming sweeps without mixing main-agent session transcripts into configured subagent workspaces. Fixes #70014. Thanks @ttomiczek.</li>
+<li>Control UI: add tab/RPC timing attribution and decouple slow Overview/Cron secondary refreshes so Sessions navigation gets immediate visible feedback. Refs #64004. Thanks @WaMaSeDu.</li>
+<li>Memory: retry transient SQLite index file swaps during atomic reindex on Windows, so brief <code>EBUSY</code>, <code>EPERM</code>, or <code>EACCES</code> locks do not fail memory rebuilds. Fixes #64187. Thanks @kunpeng-ai-lab.</li>
+<li>Telegram/startup/models: use the existing <code>getMe</code> request guard and higher <code>timeoutSeconds</code> configs for slow Bot API paths, and make model picker confirmations say selections are session-scoped. Fixes #75783 and #75965. Thanks @tankotan and @sd1114820.</li>
+<li>Control UI/slash commands: keep fallback command metadata on a browser-safe registry path, so provider thinking runtime imports cannot blank the Web UI with <code>process is not defined</code>. Fixes #75987. Thanks @novkien.</li>
+<li>Heartbeat/Discord: keep async exec completion events out of the generic <code>System (untrusted)</code> prompt block and let the dedicated exec heartbeat prompt handle them, so Discord no longer receives raw exec failure tails as separate system-style messages. Fixes #66366. Thanks @Promee-ThaBossHoss.</li>
+<li>Heartbeat/scheduler: make heartbeat phase scheduling active-hours-aware so the scheduler seeks forward to the first in-window phase slot instead of arming timers for quiet-hours slots and relying solely on the runtime guard. Non-UTC <code>activeHours.timezone</code> values (e.g. <code>Asia/Shanghai</code>) now correctly influence when the next heartbeat timer fires, avoiding wasted quiet-hours ticks and long dormant gaps after gateway restarts. Fixes #75487. Thanks @amknight.</li>
+<li>Channels: strip plain-text MiniMax and XML tool-call scaffolding from shared user-facing reply sanitization, so messaging channels do not deliver raw model tool syntax when a provider emits it as text instead of structured tool calls. Fixes #62820. Thanks @canh0chua.</li>
+<li>Infer/media: report missing image-understanding and audio-transcription provider configuration for <code>image describe</code>, <code>image describe-many</code>, and <code>audio transcribe</code> instead of blaming the input path when no provider is available. Fixes #73569 and supersedes #73593, #74288, and #74495. Thanks @bittoby, @tmimmanuel, @Linux2010, and @vyctorbrzezowski.</li>
+<li>CLI/infer: reject local <code>codex/*</code> one-shot model probes before simple-completion dispatch and point operators at the Codex app-server runtime path instead of ending with an empty-output error.</li>
+<li>Docs/health: clarify that session listing surfaces stored conversation rows rather than Discord/channel socket liveness, and point connectivity checks at channel status and health probes. Fixes #70420. Thanks @ashersoutherncities-art and @martingarramon.</li>
+<li>WhatsApp/Cron: keep DM pairing-store approvals out of implicit cron and heartbeat recipient fallback, so scheduled automation only uses explicit targets, active configured recipients, or configured <code>allowFrom</code> entries. Fixes #62339. Thanks @kelvinisly-collab.</li>
+<li>Google Meet: keep the agent-facing <code>google_meet</code> tool visible on non-macOS hosts but block local Chrome realtime actions with guidance, so Linux agents can still use transcribe, Twilio, chrome-node, and artifact flows without choosing the macOS-only BlackHole path. Refs #75950. Thanks @actual-software-inc.</li>
+<li>macOS/settings: keep opening General from rewriting <code>openclaw.json</code> during Tailscale settings hydration, preserving <code>gateway</code>, <code>auth</code>, <code>meta</code>, and <code>wizard</code> until the user changes a setting. Fixes #59545. Thanks @Tengdw.</li>
+<li>Discord: prioritize interaction callbacks ahead of stale background REST work without polling active REST buckets, validate oversized gateway payloads and member-intent requests before send, and forward explicit component payloads from message actions. (#75363)</li>
+<li>Active Memory: use the configured recall timeout as the blocking prompt-build hook budget by default and move cold-start setup grace behind explicit <code>setupGraceTimeoutMs</code> config, so the plugin no longer silently extends 15000 ms configs to 45000 ms on the main lane. Fixes #75843. Thanks @vishutdhar.</li>
+<li>Plugins/web-provider: reuse the active gateway plugin registry for runtime web provider resolution after deriving the same candidate plugin ids as the loader path, avoiding a redundant <code>loadOpenClawPlugins</code> call on every request while preserving origin and scope filters. Fixes #75513. Thanks @jochen.</li>
+<li>Crestodian/CLI: exit non-zero when interactive Crestodian is invoked without a TTY, so scripts and CI no longer treat the setup error as success. Fixes #73646 and supersedes #73928 and #74059. Thanks @bittoby, @luyao618, and @Linux2010.</li>
+<li>Cron: keep implicit/default isolated cron announce deliveries out of the main session awareness queue, so isolated jobs do not accumulate in the main conversation. Fixes #61426. Thanks @Lihannon.</li>
+<li>Subagents: avoid duplicate parent-visible replies when a parent uses <code>sessions_send</code> on its own persistent native subagent session, while preserving announce delivery for async sends. Fixes #73550. Thanks @sylviazhang2006-design.</li>
+<li>Web search/Brave: add opt-in <code>brave.http</code> diagnostics for Brave request URLs/query params, response status/timing, and cache hit/miss/write events without logging API keys or response bodies. Fixes #55196. Thanks @mecampbellsoup.</li>
+<li>Web search/Brave: add <code>plugins.entries.brave.config.webSearch.baseUrl</code> for Brave-compatible proxies, including endpoint-aware cache keys for both web and LLM Context modes. Fixes #19075. Thanks @jkoprax and @vishnukool.</li>
+<li>Web search/config: validate explicit <code>tools.web.search.provider</code> values against bundled and installed plugin manifests, while warning for stale third-party plugin config. Fixes #53092. Thanks @TinyTb.</li>
+<li>Web search/SearXNG: retry empty non-general category searches once with the general category, so unsupported category engines do not return empty results when general search has matches. Fixes #73552. Thanks @Loukky.</li>
+<li>CLI/message: skip gateway-stop hooks for read-only <code>message read</code> and bound stop-hook shutdown for other message actions, so one-shot Discord reads cannot hang behind plugin lifecycle cleanup.</li>
+<li>Plugins/web-provider: cache repeated bundled web search and web fetch provider registry loads by default while preserving explicit cache opt-outs. Supersedes #75992. Thanks @DmitryPogodaev.</li>
+<li>Agents/sandbox: preserve existing workspace file modes when sandbox edits atomically replace files, so 0644 files do not collapse to 0600 after Write/Edit/apply_patch. Fixes #44077. Thanks @patosullivan.</li>
+<li>Control UI/WebChat: route typed <code>/new</code> through the New Chat dashboard-session creation flow instead of <code>chat.send</code>, while keeping <code>/reset</code> as the explicit current-session reset. Fixes #69599. Thanks @WolvenRA.</li>
+<li>Agents/models: keep legacy CLI runtime model refs such as <code>claude-cli/*</code> in the configured allowlist after canonical runtime migration, so cron <code>payload.model</code> overrides keep working. Fixes #75753. Thanks @RyanSandoval.</li>
+<li>Codex/app-server: restart the shared Codex app-server client once when it closes during startup thread resume, preserving the existing thread binding instead of retrying <code>thread/start</code> on a closed client. Thanks @vincentkoc.</li>
+<li>Gateway/watch: keep colored subsystem log prefixes in the managed tmux pane even when the parent shell exports <code>NO_COLOR</code>, while preserving explicit <code>FORCE_COLOR=0</code> opt-out. Thanks @vincentkoc.</li>
+<li>Agents/compaction: submit a non-empty runtime-event marker for pre-compaction memory flush turns, so strict Anthropic providers no longer reject the silent flush as an empty user message. Fixes #75305. Thanks @sableassistant3777-source.</li>
+<li>Plugin SDK: re-export <code>isPrivateIpAddress</code> from <code>plugin-sdk/ssrf-runtime</code>, restoring source-checkout builds for SearXNG and Firecrawl private-network guards. Thanks @vincentkoc.</li>
+<li>Discord/message actions: advertise <code>upload-file</code> and route it through Discord's send runtime with agent-scoped media reads, so agents can discover and send file attachments. Fixes #60652 and supersedes #60808, #61087, and #61100. Thanks @claw-io, @efe-arv, @joelnishanth, and @sjhddh.</li>
+<li>Sessions: suppress exact inter-session control replies such as <code>NO_REPLY</code> and keep agent-to-agent announce bookkeeping out of visible transcripts. Fixes #53145. Thanks @TarahAssistant.</li>
+<li>CLI/directory: report unsupported directory operations for installed channel plugins instead of prompting to reinstall the plugin when it lacks a directory adapter. Fixes #75770. Thanks @lawong888.</li>
+<li>Web search/SearXNG/Firecrawl/Kimi: show the SearXNG JSON API <code>search.formats</code> prerequisite, pass through <code>img_src</code> image URLs, fail explicitly when Kimi returns ungrounded answers, keep public provider requests on strict SSRF guards, reject private/loopback/metadata/non-HTTP(S) hosted Firecrawl scrape targets, and allow explicit self-hosted private Firecrawl endpoints. Fixes #52573, #74357, and #63877; supersedes #65592, #61416, #74360, #48133, #59666, #63941, and #74013. Thanks @evanpaul14, @sghael, @wangwllu, @fede-kamel, @kn1ghtc, @jhthompson12, @jzakirov, @Mlightsnow, and @shad0wca7.</li>
+<li>CLI/models: report gateway model fallback attempts in <code>infer model run --json</code> and avoid double-prefixing provider-qualified defaults such as <code>openrouter/auto</code> in <code>models status</code>. Partially fixes #69527. Thanks @alexifra.</li>
+<li>Providers/OpenRouter: strip trailing assistant prefill turns from verified OpenRouter Anthropic model requests when reasoning is enabled, so Claude 4.6 routes no longer fail with Anthropic's prefill rejection through the OpenAI-compatible adapter. Fixes #75395. Thanks @sbmilburn.</li>
+<li>Voice Call: add per-number inbound routing for dialed-number greetings, response agents/models/prompts, and TTS voice overrides. Fixes #56604. Thanks @healthstatus.</li>
+<li>Feishu: preserve Feishu/Lark HTTP error bodies for message sends, media sends, and chat member lookups, so HTTP 400 failures include vendor code, message, log id, and troubleshooter details. Fixes #73860. Thanks @desksk.</li>
+<li>Agents/transcripts: avoid reopening large Pi transcript files through the synchronous session manager for maintenance rewrites, persisted tool-result truncation, manual compaction boundary hardening, and queued compaction rotation. Thanks @mariozechner.</li>
+<li>Web search/Exa/MiniMax: accept Exa <code>webSearch.baseUrl</code> overrides with endpoint-partitioned caches, include MiniMax Search in setup, and let <code>MINIMAX_API_KEY</code> participate in MiniMax Search auto-detection. Fixes #54928; supersedes #54939 and #65828. Thanks @mrpl327, @lyfuci, and @Jah-yee.</li>
+<li>Plugins/ClawHub: preserve official source-linked trust through archive installs, so OpenClaw can install trusted ClawHub plugin packages that trigger the built-in dangerous-pattern scanner. Thanks @vincentkoc.</li>
+<li>Plugins/ClawHub: install package runtime dependencies for archive-backed plugin installs, so ClawHub packages such as WhatsApp load declared dependencies after download. Thanks @vincentkoc.</li>
+<li>Plugins/tools: cache repeated plugin tool factory results only for matching request context, reducing per-turn tool prep without leaking sandbox, session, browser, delivery, or runtime config state. Fixes #75956. Thanks @Linux2010.</li>
+<li>Providers/LM Studio: allow <code>models.providers.lmstudio.params.preload: false</code> to skip OpenClaw's native model-load call so LM Studio JIT loading, idle TTL, and auto-evict can own model lifecycle. Fixes #75921. Thanks @garyd9.</li>
+<li>Agents/transcripts: keep chat history, restart recovery, fork token checks, and stale-token compaction checks on bounded async transcript reads or cached async indexes instead of reparsing large session files. Thanks @mariozechner.</li>
+<li>Telegram: inherit the process DNS result order for Bot API transport and downgrade recovered sticky IPv4 fallback promotions to debug logs, while keeping pinned-IP escalation warnings visible. Fixes #75904. Thanks @highfly-hi and @neeravmakwana.</li>
+<li>Sessions: keep durable external conversation pointers, including group and thread-scoped chat sessions, out of age, count, and disk-budget maintenance eviction while still allowing synthetic runtime entries to age out. Fixes #58088. Thanks @drinkflav.</li>
+<li>Web search/Providers MiniMax: allow <code>MINIMAX_OAUTH_TOKEN</code> to satisfy MiniMax Search credentials and derive Coding Plan usage polling from the configured MiniMax base URL, so OAuth-authorized and global setups use the right endpoint. Fixes #65768 and #65054. Thanks @kikibrian, @zhouhe-xydt, @sixone74, and @Yanhu007.</li>
+<li>Control UI/WebChat: skip assistant-media transcript supplements when stale media refs resolve to no playable media, so text-only final replies are not stored a second time as gateway-injected assistant messages. Fixes #73956. Thanks @HemantSudarshan.</li>
+<li>Sessions: reject <code>sessions_send</code> targets that resolve to thread-scoped chat sessions, so inter-agent coordination cannot be injected into active human-facing Slack or Discord threads. Fixes #52496. Thanks @barry-p5cc.</li>
+<li>Subagents: honor <code>sessions_spawn</code> with <code>expectsCompletionMessage: false</code> by skipping parent completion handoff delivery while still running child cleanup. Fixes #75848. Thanks @alfredjbclaw.</li>
+<li>Media/completions: treat media-only message-tool sends as delivered async completion output, avoiding duplicate raw <code>MEDIA:</code> fallback posts after video or music generation finishes.</li>
+<li>Gateway/logging: keep deferred channel startup logs on the subsystem logger, so Slack, Discord, Telegram, and voice-call startup messages keep timestamped prefixes. Thanks @vincentkoc.</li>
+<li>Codex/app-server: recover JSON-RPC frames split by raw command-output newlines and include a redacted preview when malformed app-server messages still reach the console. Thanks @vincentkoc.</li>
+<li>Replies/typing: keep typing alive for queued follow-up messages that are genuinely waiting behind an active run, instead of making chat surfaces look idle while work is queued. Fixes #65685. Thanks @papag00se.</li>
+<li>ACP/Discord: suppress completion announce delivery for inline thread-bound ACP session runs, so Discord thread-bound ACP replies are not delivered twice. Fixes #60780. Thanks @solavrc.</li>
+<li>Discord/threads: ignore webhook-authored copies in already-bound Discord session threads even when the webhook id differs, preventing PluralKit proxy copies from creating duplicate turn pressure. Fixes #52005. Thanks @acgh213.</li>
+<li>Discord/threads: return the created thread as partial success when the follow-up initial message fails, so agents do not retry thread creation and create empty duplicate threads. Fixes #48450. Thanks @dahifi.</li>
+<li>Discord/components: consume every button or select in a non-reusable component message after the first authorized click, so single-use panels cannot fire sibling callbacks. Fixes #54227. Thanks @fujiwarakasei.</li>
+<li>macOS/config: preserve existing <code>gateway.auth</code> and unrelated config keys during app fallback writes, so dashboard or Talk settings changes cannot strand Control UI clients by dropping persisted auth. Fixes #75631. Thanks @Fuma2013.</li>
+<li>Control UI/TUI: keep reconnecting chat sends bound to the same backing session id and let TUI relaunches resume the last selected session, avoiding silent fresh sessions after refresh, reconnect, or terminal restart. Fixes #63195, #68162, and #73546. Thanks @bond260312-cmyk, @zhong18804784882, and @mtuwei.</li>
+<li>Plugins/tools: let plugin manifests declare static tool availability so reply startup skips unavailable plugin tool runtimes instead of importing factories that only return <code>null</code>. Thanks @shakkernerd.</li>
+<li>Discord/reactions: skip reaction listener registration when DMs and group DMs are disabled and every configured guild has <code>reactionNotifications: "off"</code>, avoiding needless reaction-event queue work. Fixes #47516. Thanks @x4v13r1120.</li>
+<li>CLI sessions: preserve explicit manual-attach reuse bindings so trusted CLI sessions are not invalidated on the first turn when auth, prompt, or MCP fingerprints drift. Fixes #75849. Thanks @alfredjbclaw.</li>
+<li>Telegram/streaming: keep partial preview streaming enabled for plain reply-to replies, disabling drafts only for real native quote excerpts that require Telegram quote parameters. Fixes #73505. Thanks @choury.</li>
+<li>Config: log the "newer OpenClaw" version warning once per process instead of once per config snapshot read. (#75927) Thanks @romneyda.</li>
+<li>Telegram/message actions: treat benign delete-message 400s as no-op warnings instead of runtime errors, so stale or already-removed messages do not create noisy delete failures. Fixes #73726. Thanks @Avicennasis.</li>
+<li>Telegram: split long default markdown sends and media follow-up text into safe HTML chunks, so outbound messages over Telegram's limit no longer fail as one oversized Bot API request. Fixes #75868. Thanks @zhengsx.</li>
+<li>Gateway/chat history: merge Claude CLI transcript imports for Anthropic-routed sessions that still have a Claude CLI binding, so local chat history does not hide CLI JSONL turns. Fixes #75850. Thanks @alfredjbclaw.</li>
+<li>Media: trim serialized JSON suffixes after local <code>MEDIA:</code> directive file extensions, so generated-image metadata cannot pollute the parsed media path and cause false <code>ENOENT</code> delivery failures. Fixes #75182. Thanks @TnzGit and @hclsys.</li>
+<li>Plugins/runtime: hot-reload Gateway plugin runtime surfaces after plugin enable/disable changes while keeping source-changing plugin install, update, and uninstall operations restart-backed so loaded module code is not reused. Fixes #72097.</li>
+<li>Cron: make scheduler reload schedule comparison tolerate malformed persisted jobs, so one bad cron entry no longer aborts the whole tick. Fixes #75886. Thanks @samfox-ai.</li>
+<li>Doctor/channels: warn after migrations when default Telegram or Discord accounts have no configured token and their env fallback (<code>TELEGRAM_BOT_TOKEN</code> or <code>DISCORD_BOT_TOKEN</code>) is unavailable, with secret-safe migration docs for checking state-dir <code>.env</code>. Fixes #74298. Thanks @lolaopenclaw.</li>
+<li>Gateway/diagnostics: keep idle liveness samples in telemetry instead of visible warning logs unless diagnostic work is active, waiting, or queued. Thanks @vincentkoc.</li>
+<li>Channels/cron: reject provider-prefixed targets for the wrong channel and let prefixed announce targets such as <code>telegram:123</code> select their channel when delivery falls back to <code>last</code>, so Telegram IDs cannot be coerced into WhatsApp phone numbers. Fixes #56839. Thanks @bencoremans.</li>
+<li>Control UI/chat: keep live replies visible when a raw session alias such as <code>main</code> sends the chat turn but Gateway emits events under the canonical session key for the same run. Fixes #73716. Thanks @teebes.</li>
+<li>CLI/models: reject <code>--agent</code> on <code>openclaw models set</code> and <code>set-image</code> instead of silently writing agent-scoped requests to global model defaults. Fixes #68391. Thanks @derrickabellard.</li>
+<li>CLI: stop treating the legacy singular <code>openclaw tool ...</code> token as a plugin id under restrictive <code>plugins.allow</code>, so it falls through as a normal unknown/reserved command instead of suggesting a stale allowlist entry. Fixes #64732. Thanks @efe-arv, @SweetSophia, and @hashtag1974.</li>
+<li>Media: write inbound media buffers through same-directory temp files before rename, so failed disk writes do not leave zero-byte artifacts for later voice transcription. Fixes #55966. Thanks @OpenCodeEngineer.</li>
+<li>TTS/Telegram: keep trusted local audio generated by the TTS tool queued for voice-note delivery even when the run-level built-in tool list omits the raw <code>tts</code> name. Fixes #74752. Thanks @Loveworld3033 and @andyliu.</li>
+<li>TTS: require explicit user or config audio intent for the agent speech tool so dashboard chats stay text unless audio is requested. Fixes #69777. Thanks @alexandre-leng.</li>
+<li>Plugins/config: keep bundled source-checkout plugins from being runtime-gated by install-only <code>minHostVersion</code> metadata, accept prerelease host floors, trim plugin-service startup failures to one log line, and avoid broad channel-runtime loading during base config parsing. Thanks @vincentkoc.</li>
+<li>Heartbeat: strip legacy <code>[TOOL_CALL]...[/TOOL_CALL]</code> and <code>[TOOL_RESULT]...[/TOOL_RESULT]</code> pseudo-call blocks from heartbeat replies before channel delivery. Fixes #54138. Thanks @Deniable9570.</li>
+<li>macOS/Voice Wake: send wake-word and Push-to-Talk transcripts through the selected macOS session target instead of always falling back to main WebChat. Fixes #51040. Thanks @carl-jeffrolc.</li>
+<li>Providers/xAI: give Grok <code>web_search</code> a 60s default timeout, harden malformed xAI Responses parsing, and return structured timeout errors instead of aborting the tool call. Fixes #58063 and #58733. Thanks @dnishimura, @marvcasasola-svg, and @Nanako0129.</li>
+<li>Providers/configure: preserve the existing default model when adding or reauthing a provider whose plugin returns a default-model config patch. Fixes #50268. Thanks @rixcorp-oc.</li>
+<li>Slack/DMs/routing: honor <code>dmHistoryLimit</code> for fresh 1:1 DMs, keep top-level DMs on stable DM sessions even when <code>replyToMode</code> targets thread replies, send text/block-only proactive DMs directly with <code>chat.postMessage(channel=<user id>)</code>, match Slack target route syntax such as <code>channel:C...</code>, <code>user:U...</code>, or <code><@U...></code>, and match public-channel allowlists against bare runtime channel IDs. Fixes #64427, #58832, #62042, #41608, and #41264; supersedes #56530. Thanks @brantley-creator, @daye-jjeong, @MarkMolina, @Winnsolutionsadmin, @babutree, and @Realworld404.</li>
+<li>Slack/delivery/capabilities: preserve missing-scope details in outbound errors, read granted scopes from <code>auth.test</code> metadata before legacy APIs, retry Slack writes only for wrapped DNS request failures such as <code>EAI_AGAIN</code>, and prefer the account bound to the outbound target peer in multi-workspace sends. Fixes #62391, #44625, and #68789; supersedes #66807. Thanks @alexey-pelykh, @Qquanwei, @martingarramon, @sonnyb9, and @rijhsinghani.</li>
+<li>Slack/message actions/tools: send media before follow-up Block Kit messages for file sends, forward agent-scoped media roots through the bundled upload-file path, resolve <code><!subteam^...></code> user-group mentions before waking mention-gated channels, and let <code>read</code> fetch an exact Slack message timestamp or thread reply. Fixes #51458, #64625, #73827, and #53943. Thanks @HirokiKobayashi-R, @benpchandler, @CG-Intelligence-Agent-Jack, and @zomars.</li>
+<li>PDF/Gemini: send native PDF analysis API keys in the <code>x-goog-api-key</code> header instead of the request URL, keeping secrets out of proxy and access logs. Supersedes #60600. Thanks @garagon.</li>
+<li>Web search/Gemini/DuckDuckGo/Brave/fetch: route abort signals into Gemini provider fetches, late-bind managed agent <code>web_search</code> calls to the current runtime config snapshot, reuse Google provider API key/base URL as lower-priority Gemini search fallbacks, pass Gemini freshness/date filters through grounding, include DuckDuckGo in setup, honor Gemini/Grok/x_search <code>baseUrl</code> overrides, point Brave metadata at canonical docs, support Brave LLM Context freshness/date ranges, resolve external <code>webFetchProviders</code> for non-sandboxed fetches, and point missing-key errors to <code>web_fetch</code> or browser where appropriate. Fixes #72995, #75420, #66498, #65862, #65870, and #74915; supersedes #57496, #65940, #61972, #65892, and #51005. Thanks @RoseKongPS, @richardmqq, @Aoiujz, @ismael-81, @Jah-yee, @Lanfei, @Magicray1217, @remusao, @ultrahighsuper, @mingmingtsao, and @zhaoyang97.</li>
+<li>Slack/directory: make <code>openclaw directory peers/groups list --channel slack</code> prefer token-backed live readers and return the connected Slack account from <code>directory self</code>, so valid Slack tokens no longer produce empty directory CLI results. Fixes #50776. Thanks @pjaillon.</li>
+<li>Slack: keep assistant typing status, temporary typing reactions, and status reactions active for group/channel turns that use message-tool-only visible replies, while still suppressing automatic source replies. Fixes #75877. Thanks @teosborne.</li>
+<li>Slack: recover full inbound DM text from top-level rich-text blocks when Slack sends a shortened message preview, so long direct messages still reach the agent intact. Fixes #55358. Thanks @tonyjwinter.</li>
+<li>Replies: strip legacy <code>[TOOL_CALL]{tool => ..., args => ...}[/TOOL_CALL]</code> pseudo-call text from user-facing replies and flag it in tool-call diagnostics instead of showing raw tool syntax in channels. Fixes #63610. Thanks @canh0chua.</li>
+<li>WhatsApp: close long-lived web sockets through Baileys <code>end(error)</code> before falling back to raw websocket close, so listener teardown runs Baileys cleanup instead of leaving zombie sockets. Fixes #52442. Thanks @essendigitalgroup-cyber.</li>
+<li>Twitch/plugins: emit a flat JSON Schema for Twitch channel config so single-account and multi-account configs validate before runtime load, and add source-checkout diagnostics for missing pnpm workspace dependencies. Thanks @vincentkoc.</li>
+<li>Gateway/sessions: move hot transcript reads and mirror appends onto async bounded IO with serialized parent-linked writes, keeping large session histories from stalling Gateway requests and channel replies. Fixes #75656. Thanks @DerFlash.</li>
+<li>macOS/Talk Mode: downmix multi-channel microphone buffers before handing them to Apple Speech across Push-to-Talk, Talk Mode, Voice Wake, and the wake-word tester, so pro audio interfaces no longer produce empty transcripts. Fixes #42533. Thanks @jbuecker.</li>
+<li>macOS/Talk Mode: subscribe native WebChat to active-session transcript updates and render external spoken user turns in the chat thread instead of only showing assistant replies. Fixes #75155. Thanks @SledderBling.</li>
+<li>macOS/Voice Wake: accept trigger-only phrases in the built-in Voice Wake test, matching the settings UI and runtime trigger-only path instead of requiring extra command text after the wake word. Fixes #64986. Thanks @zoiks65.</li>
+<li>Cron/TTS: run cron announce payloads through the normal TTS directive transform before outbound delivery, so scheduled <code>[[tts]]</code> replies generate voice payloads instead of leaking raw tags. Fixes #52125. Thanks @kenchen3000.</li>
+<li>WhatsApp: save downloadable quoted image media from reply context as inbound media, so agents can inspect an image that a user replied to instead of only seeing <code><media:image></code>. Fixes #59174. Thanks @gaffner.</li>
+<li>Sessions/store: stop persisting the runtime-only <code>skillsSnapshot.resolvedSkills</code> array inside each session entry, so <code>sessions.json</code> no longer carries a copy of every parsed <code>SKILL.md</code> body for every active session; <code>ensureSkillSnapshot</code> rehydrates the array from disk on cold resume so the embedded runner, the Claude CLI skills plugin, and the Claude live-session fingerprint all see populated skills, and legacy stores self-heal on the next save. Refs #11950, #6650, #15000. Thanks @amoghasgekar.</li>
+<li>Doctor/WhatsApp: warn when Linux crontabs still run the legacy <code>ensure-whatsapp.sh</code> health check, which can misreport <code>Gateway inactive</code> when cron lacks the systemd user-bus environment. Fixes #60204. Thanks @mySebbe.</li>
+<li>Slack/setup: print the generated app manifest as plain JSON instead of embedding it inside the framed setup note, so it can be copied into Slack without deleting border characters. Fixes #65751. Thanks @theDanielJLewis.</li>
+<li>Channels/WhatsApp: route CLI logout through the live Gateway and stop runtime-backed listeners before channel removal, so removing a WhatsApp account does not leave the old socket replying until restart. Fixes #67746. Thanks @123Mismail.</li>
+<li>Voice Call/Twilio: honor TTS directive text and provider voice/model overrides during telephony synthesis, so <code>[[tts:...]]</code> tags are not spoken literally and voiceId overrides reach OpenAI/ElevenLabs calls. Fixes #58114. Thanks @legonhilltech-jpg.</li>
+<li>Agents/session-locks: reclaim untracked current-process session locks with matching starttime during acquisition and startup cleanup, so Gateway restarts recover from self-owned orphan <code>.jsonl.lock</code> files. Fixes #75805; refs #49603. Thanks @cdznho.</li>
+<li>Agents/subagents: initialize built-in context engines before native <code>sessions_spawn</code> resolves spawn preparation, so cliBackend-only cold starts no longer fail with an unregistered <code>legacy</code> context engine. Fixes #73095. (#73904) Thanks @brokemac79.</li>
+<li>Plugins/Bonjour: ship the ciao runtime dependency with packaged OpenClaw so fresh OCM envs can start default mDNS discovery without a missing-module failure. Thanks @shakkernerd.</li>
+<li>Agents/tools: scope reply plugin-tool discovery to manifest-declared tool owners and already-active matching tool entries, avoiding broad plugin runtime loading for narrow or core-only tool allowlists. Thanks @shakkernerd.</li>
+<li>Agents/replies: defer implicit image model discovery and keep OAuth auth-store adoption on persisted profiles during reply startup, cutting OCM MarCodex warm prep to sub-second in live checks. Thanks @shakkernerd.</li>
+<li>Plugins/tools: enforce <code>contracts.tools</code> as the manifest ownership contract for plugin tool registration, rejecting undeclared runtime tool names and adding bundled plugin drift coverage. Thanks @shakkernerd.</li>
+<li>Agents/Codex: stop prompting message-tool-only source turns to finish with <code>NO_REPLY</code>, so quiet turns are represented by not calling the visible message tool instead of conflicting final-text instructions. Thanks @pashpashpash.</li>
+<li>Gateway/config: report failed backup restores as failed in logs and config observe audit records instead of marking them valid. (#70515) Thanks @davidangularme.</li>
+<li>Compaction: use the active session model fallback chain for implicit summarization failures without persisting fallback model selection, so Azure content-filter 400s can recover. Fixes #64960. (#74470) Thanks @jalehman and @OpenCodeEngineer.</li>
+<li>Gateway/config: allow <code>gateway config.patch</code> to update documented subagent thinking defaults. Fixes #75764. (#75802) Thanks @kAIborg24.</li>
+<li>Plugins/CLI: keep git plugin install paths credential-free, preserve existing git checkouts until replacement succeeds, honor duplicate npm install mode, and remove managed git repos on uninstall. Thanks @vincentkoc.</li>
+<li>Plugins/CLI: redact authenticated git URLs from git install command failure details, so failed clone or checkout output cannot leak credentials during plugin installs. Thanks @vincentkoc.</li>
+<li>Channels/status reactions: remove stale non-terminal lifecycle reactions when a run reaches done or error, so Discord does not leave a permanent thinking emoji after completion. Fixes #75458. Thanks @davelutztx.</li>
+<li>Discord/doctor: migrate unsupported per-channel <code>agentId</code> entries under guild channel config into top-level <code>bindings[]</code> routes, so <code>openclaw doctor --fix</code> preserves the intended agent route instead of stripping it as an unknown key. Fixes #62455. Thanks @lobster-biscuit.</li>
+<li>Discord/DMs: set inbound direct-message <code>ctx.To</code> to the semantic <code>user:<id></code> target while keeping delivery routed through the DM channel, so mirror and recovery paths do not treat DMs as channel conversations. Fixes #68126. Thanks @illuminate0623.</li>
+<li>Discord/DMs: keep no-guild inbound messages on direct-message routing when Discord channel lookup is temporarily unavailable, preventing degraded DMs from forking into channel sessions. Fixes #59817. Thanks @DooPeePey.</li>
+<li>Discord: retry outbound API calls on HTTP 5xx, request-timeout, and transient transport failures instead of only Discord rate limits, reducing dropped cron and agent replies during short Discord or network outages. Fixes #52396. Thanks @sunshineo.</li>
+<li>Discord: include Components v2 Text Display content from referenced replies and forwarded snapshots, so component-only messages still appear in reply context. Fixes #56228. Thanks @HollandDrive.</li>
+<li>Discord: add configurable gateway READY timeouts for startup and runtime reconnects, so staggered multi-account setups can avoid false restart loops. Fixes #72273. Thanks @sergionsantos.</li>
+<li>Discord: preserve native slash-command description localizations through command reconcile, so localized Discord descriptions no longer get overwritten by English defaults. Fixes #56580. Thanks @mhseo93.</li>
+<li>Discord: add configured outbound mention aliases so known <code>@Name</code> references can be rewritten to real Discord user mentions instead of relying only on the transient directory cache. Fixes #67587. Thanks @McoreD.</li>
+<li>Discord: avoid startup REST amplification by skipping native command deploy retries after Discord rate limits and deriving the bot id from parseable bot tokens instead of requiring a <code>/users/@me</code> lookup. Fixes #75341. Thanks @PrinceOfEgypt.</li>
+<li>Plugins/hooks: derive hook <code>ctx.channelId</code> from the conversation target instead of the provider name, so Discord and other channel plugins can keep per-channel state isolated. Fixes #59881. Thanks @bradfreels.</li>
+<li>Gateway/config: log config health-state write failures instead of silently hiding config observe-recovery write errors. Thanks @sallyom.</li>
+<li>Diagnostics: reset stuck-session timers on reply, tool, status, block, and ACP progress events, and back off repeated <code>session.stuck</code> diagnostics while a session remains unchanged. Supersedes #72010. Thanks @rubencu.</li>
+<li>Gateway/agents: avoid rebuilding core tools for plugin-only allowlists and keep the full plugin registry cache warm across scoped plugin loads, reducing per-turn latency spikes. Fixes #75882, #75907, #75906, #75887, and #75851. (#75922) Thanks @obviyus.</li>
+<li>Agents/failover: classify bare <code>status: internal server error</code> provider messages as retryable server errors so model fallback can rotate instead of stopping. (#73844) Thanks @thesomewhatyou.</li>
+<li>Gateway/startup: return the shared retryable startup-sidecars error for startup-gated control-plane RPCs such as sessions.create, sessions.send, sessions.abort, agent.wait, and tools.effective, so clients can retry early sidecar races. (#76012) Thanks @scoootscooob.</li>
+<li>Providers/Google: fix Gemini 2.5 Flash-Lite <code>reasoning: "minimal"</code> rejections by raising its thinking-budget floor to 512 while preserving the existing Gemini 2.5 Pro and Flash minimal presets. (#70629) Thanks @ericberic.</li>
+<li>Agents/status: resolve <code>session_status(sessionKey="current")</code> for sparse channel-plugin sessions after literal current lookups miss, so Scope, Slack, Discord, and other plugin-driven agents avoid retrying through <code>Unknown sessionKey: current</code>. Fixes #74141. (#72306) Thanks @bittoby.</li>
+<li>Cron: retry recurring wake-now main-session jobs through temporary heartbeat busy skips before recording success, so queued cron events no longer appear as ok ghost runs while the main lane is still busy. Fixes #75964. (#76083) Thanks @kshetrajna12 and @xuruiray.</li>
+<li>Providers/Google: keep Gemini thinking-signature-only stream chunks active during reasoning, so Gemini 3.1 Pro Preview replies no longer hit idle timeouts before visible text. Fixes #76071. (#76080) Thanks @marcoschierhorn and @zhangguiping-xydt.</li>
+<li>CLI/skills: show per-agent model and command visibility in <code>openclaw skills check --agent</code>, and let doctor report or disable unavailable skills allowed for the default agent. (#75983) Thanks @mbelinky.</li>
+<li>Agents/runtime/tools: keep reply startup on Gateway metadata, manifest catalog rows, auth-store state, and plugin loader cache-key compatibility checks so scoped runtime registries, model allowlists, thinking metadata, media/PDF/generation tools, Comfy workflows, OpenAI Codex OAuth image generation, and image/video/music tool registration avoid broad provider/runtime loads while preserving explicit config and auth-backed providers. Thanks @shakkernerd.</li>
+<li>Discord: document canonical mention formatting in agent prompt hints and channel docs so outbound replies use <code><@USER_ID></code>, <code><#CHANNEL_ID></code>, and <code><@&ROLE_ID></code> instead of legacy nickname mentions. (#75173)</li>
+<li>Heartbeat scheduler: gate exec-event/notification/spawn/retry wakes through a centralized cooldown so backgrounded <code>process.start</code> exit notifications can no longer self-feed runaway heartbeat runs (configured <code>every: "30m"</code> was firing every ~10s in production, pegging the gateway event loop with <code>eventLoopDelayMaxMs >6s</code> spikes that stalled control-UI asset serving and TUI handshakes). Documented wake-now paths (<code>manual</code>, <code>wake</code>, task completion, blocked-task follow-up, <code>/hooks/wake mode=now</code>, and cron <code>--wake now</code>) remain immediate; retryable busy skips no longer poison the cooldown for the next retry; per-agent flood guard caps any unexpected feedback loop at 5 runs/60s. (#64016, refs #17797 and #75436) Thanks @hexsprite.</li>
+<li>fix: block workspace CLOUDSDK_PYTHON override and always set trusted interpreter for gcloud. (#74492) Thanks @pgondhi987.</li>
+<li>Providers/Z.AI: move the bundled GLM catalog and auth env metadata into the plugin manifest, so <code>models list --all --provider zai</code> shows the full known catalog without duplicated runtime seed data. Thanks @shakkernerd.</li>
+<li>Providers/Qianfan and Providers/Stepfun: declare setup auth metadata (<code>api-key</code> method, <code>QIANFAN_API_KEY</code>, <code>STEPFUN_API_KEY</code>) in the plugin manifest so onboarding and <code>models setup</code> surface the expected env var without falling back to legacy <code>providerAuthEnvVars</code> runtime seed data. Thanks @shakkernerd.</li>
+<li>fix(infra): block ambient Homebrew env vars from brew resolution. (#74463) Thanks @pgondhi987.</li>
+<li>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.</li>
+<li>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.</li>
+<li>Security/Windows: ignore workspace <code>.env</code> system-path variables and resolve stale-process <code>taskkill.exe</code> from the validated Windows install root, preventing repository-local env files from redirecting cleanup helpers. Thanks @pgondhi987.</li>
+<li>CLI/plugins: refresh persisted plugin registry policy in place for <code>plugins enable</code> and <code>plugins disable</code>, so routine toggles no longer rebuild and hash every plugin source when the target is already indexed. Thanks @vincentkoc.</li>
+<li>Windows/install: run npm from a writable installer temp directory and pin the Bedrock runtime dependency below a Windows ARM Node 24 npm resolver failure, so global OpenClaw installs no longer fail before onboarding. Thanks @mariozechner.</li>
+<li>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.</li>
+<li>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.</li>
+<li>Google Meet/Twilio: show delegated voice call ID, DTMF, and intro-greeting state in <code>googlemeet doctor</code>, and avoid claiming DTMF was sent when no Meet PIN sequence was configured. Refs #72478. Thanks @DougButdorf.</li>
+<li>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.</li>
+<li>Plugins/loader: scope plugin-tool registry reuse to the enabled plugin plan and stored Gateway method keys, so embedded runner tool lookup can reuse compatible startup registries without hiding enabled non-startup plugin tools. Fixes #75520. Thanks @whtoo.</li>
+<li>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.</li>
+<li>Discord/Slack: defer status-reaction cleanup until run finalization so queued, thinking, tool, and terminal reactions no longer flicker during normal progress updates. (#75582)</li>
+<li>Discord/voice: leave voice off for text-only configs unless explicitly configured, rerun configured voice auto-join after gateway RESUMED events, ignore already-destroyed stale voice connections during reconnect cleanup, lengthen the default voice join Ready wait with configurable timeouts, merge configured media-understanding providers such as Deepgram into partial active registries, apply per-channel <code>systemPrompt</code> overrides to voice transcript turns, and run voice-channel turns under a voice-output policy that hides the agent <code>tts</code> tool. Fixes #73753, #40665, #63098, #65687, #47095, and #61536; refs #74044, #39825, and #65039. Thanks @sanchezm86, @SecureCloudProjO, @liz709, @darealgege, @kzicherman, @ayochim, @OneMintJulep, @qearlyao, and @aounakram.</li>
+<li>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.</li>
+<li>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)</li>
+<li>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 <code>sessions cleanup --enforce</code> still preserve the cleanup safeguards. Fixes #70050. Thanks @tangda18.</li>
+<li>Security/audit: keep plain <code>security audit</code> on the cold config/filesystem path and reserve plugin runtime security collectors for <code>--deep</code>, so large plugin installs cannot execute every plugin runtime during routine audits. Thanks @vincentkoc.</li>
+<li>WhatsApp: stage <code>qrcode</code> through root mirrored runtime dependencies so packaged QR pairing can render from staged plugin-runtime-deps installs. Fixes #75394. Thanks @FelipeX2001.</li>
+<li>Interactive channel payloads: send Discord component-only interaction replies, Slack block-only slash replies, Telegram button/select fallback labels, and LINE quick-reply fallback option text instead of accepting empty renderable payloads. Thanks @vincentkoc.</li>
+<li>Auto-reply/docking: require <code>/dock-*</code> 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.</li>
+<li>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.</li>
+<li>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.</li>
+<li>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.</li>
+<li>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.</li>
+<li>Models/DeepInfra: declare DeepInfra manifest catalog discovery and derive its runtime fallback catalog from the manifest, restoring provider-filtered <code>models list --all --provider deepinfra</code> rows without duplicated static model data. Thanks @shakkernerd.</li>
+<li>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.</li>
+<li>Gateway/agent: reject strict <code>openclaw agent --deliver</code> 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.</li>
+<li>Setup/import: honor non-interactive <code>--import-from</code> onboarding flags by running the migration import path instead of silently completing normal setup without importing anything. Thanks @vincentkoc.</li>
+<li>Doctor/plugins: keep plain <code>doctor --non-interactive</code> from installing bundled plugin runtime dependencies, so headless health checks report missing deps while <code>doctor --fix</code> remains the explicit repair path. Thanks @vincentkoc.</li>
+<li>Doctor/gateway: require an interactive confirmation before installing or rewriting the Gateway service, so <code>doctor --fix --non-interactive</code> can repair plugin/config drift without replacing the operator's launchd/systemd service from a temporary environment. Thanks @vincentkoc.</li>
+<li>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.</li>
+<li>Plugin SDK: restore reply-prefix and reply-pipeline helpers on the deprecated root/compat SDK surface so external plugins still using <code>openclaw/plugin-sdk</code> do not fail message dispatch after update. Fixes #75171. Thanks @zhangxiliang.</li>
+<li>Plugins/runtime-deps: prune inactive same-package versioned runtime-deps roots after bundled dependency repair, so upgrades do not leave old <code>openclaw-<version>-<hash></code> package caches behind after doctor runs. Thanks @vincentkoc.</li>
+<li>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.</li>
+<li>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.</li>
+<li>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.</li>
+<li>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.</li>
+<li>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.</li>
+<li>Process/exec: add stdin error listener in runCommandWithTimeout so EPIPE from a prematurely-exited child is swallowed instead of escaping to uncaughtException. Refs #75438.</li>
+<li>Voice Call/realtime: add default-off fast memory/session context for <code>openclaw_agent_consult</code>, giving live calls a bounded answer-or-miss path before the full agent consult. Fixes #71849. Thanks @amzzzzzzz.</li>
+<li>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.</li>
+<li>Gateway/config: cap oversized plugin-owned schemas in the full <code>config.schema</code> response so large installed plugin sets cannot balloon Gateway RSS or crash schema clients. Thanks @vincentkoc.</li>
+<li>Plugins/update: skip ClawHub and marketplace plugin updates when the bundled version is newer than the recorded installed version, so <code>openclaw update</code> no longer overwrites working bundled plugins with older external packages. Fixes #75447. Thanks @amknight.</li>
+<li>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.</li>
+<li>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.</li>
+<li>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.</li>
+<li>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.</li>
+<li>BlueBubbles: detect audio attachments by Apple UTIs (<code>public.audio</code>, <code>public.mpeg-4-audio</code>, <code>com.apple.m4a-audio</code>, <code>com.apple.coreaudio-format</code>) in addition to <code>audio/*</code> MIME, so iMessage voice notes whose webhook payload only carries the UTI are now classified as audio in the inbound <code><media:audio></code> placeholder instead of falling through to the generic <code><media:attachment></code> tag. Thanks @omarshahine.</li>
+<li>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.</li>
+<li>Docs/sandboxing: clarify that sandbox setup scripts (<code>sandbox-setup.sh</code>, <code>sandbox-common-setup.sh</code>, <code>sandbox-browser-setup.sh</code>) are only available from a source checkout, and add inline <code>docker build</code> commands for npm-installed users so sandbox image setup works without cloning the repo. Fixes #75485. Thanks @amknight.</li>
+<li>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.</li>
+<li>Google Meet/Voice Call: make Twilio setup preflight honor explicit <code>--transport twilio</code> and fail local/private Voice Call webhook URLs, including IPv6 loopback and unique-local forms, before joins. Thanks @donkeykong91 and @PfanP.</li>
+<li>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.</li>
+<li>CLI/startup: preserve <code>OPENCLAW_HIDE_BANNER</code> 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.</li>
+<li>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.</li>
+<li>Voice Call CLI: run gateway-delegated <code>voicecall continue</code> 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.</li>
+<li>Voice Call CLI: delegate operational <code>voicecall</code> commands to the running Gateway runtime and skip webhook startup during CLI-only plugin loading, preventing webhook port conflicts and <code>setup --json</code> hangs. Fixes #72345. Thanks @serrurco and @DougButdorf.</li>
+<li>Agents/pi-embedded-runner: extract the <code>abortable</code> provider-call wrapper from <code>runEmbeddedAttempt</code> 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.</li>
+<li>Docker: restore <code>python3</code> in the gateway runtime image after the slim-runtime switch. Fixes #75041.</li>
+<li>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.</li>
+<li>CLI/Voice Call: scope <code>voicecall</code> 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.</li>
+<li>Doctor/plugins: warn when restrictive <code>plugins.allow</code> 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.</li>
+<li>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.</li>
+<li>Auto-reply/group chats: keep the <code>message</code> 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.</li>
+<li>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.</li>
+<li>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.</li>
+<li>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.</li>
+<li>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.</li>
+<li>Security/config-audit: redact CLI argv and execArgv secrets before persisting config audit records, covering write, observe, and recovery paths. Fixes #60826. Thanks @koshaji.</li>
+<li>Gateway/models: keep default and configured model-list views responsive when provider catalog discovery stalls, without hiding real catalog load failures, while <code>--all</code> still waits for the exact full catalog. Fixes #75297; refs #74404. Thanks @lisandromachado and @najef1979-code.</li>
+<li>Plugins/runtime-deps: accept already materialized package-level runtime-deps supersets as converged, so later lazy plugin activation no longer prunes and relaunches <code>pnpm install</code> 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.</li>
+<li>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.</li>
+<li>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.</li>
+<li>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.</li>
+<li>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.</li>
+<li>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.</li>
+<li>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.</li>
+<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>Plugins/runtime-deps: materialize newly required bundled plugin packages after local <code>openclaw onboard</code> and <code>openclaw configure</code> 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.</li>
+<li>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 <code>.openclaw-runtime-deps.lock</code> directories. Fixes #74948; refs #74950 and #74346. Thanks @dchekmarev.</li>
+<li>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.</li>
+<li>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.</li>
+<li>Plugins/runtime-deps: keep runtime inspection and channel maintenance commands from downloading bundled plugin dependencies, route explicit repairs through <code>openclaw plugins deps --repair</code>, and still allow Gateway/DO paths to repair missing deps before import. Refs #75069. Thanks @xiaohuaxi.</li>
+<li>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.</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>Agents/Codex: isolate local Codex app-server <code>CODEX_HOME</code> and <code>HOME</code> 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.</li>
+<li>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.</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>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>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>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>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>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>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>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: 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>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>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>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>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: 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.</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>Web search: describe <code>web_search</code> as using the configured provider instead of hard-coding Brave when DuckDuckGo or another provider is active. Fixes #75088. Thanks @sun-rongyang.</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>Agents/compaction: add an opt-in <code>agents.defaults.compaction.midTurnPrecheck</code> 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.</li>
+<li>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)</li>
+<li>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.</li>
+<li>Plugins/runtime-deps: hash the OS-canonical <code>packageRoot</code> via <code>fs.realpathSync.native</code> (with <code>path.resolve</code> fallback) when computing the bundled runtime-deps stage key, so loader and channel <code>bundled-root</code> callers no longer derive divergent stage directories under <code>~/.openclaw/plugin-runtime-deps/openclaw-<version>-<hash>/</code> and bundled channels stop failing with <code>ENOENT</code> on shared dist chunks under Windows npm symlinks, junctions, or PM2 multi-instance worker layouts. Fixes #74963. (#75048) Thanks @openperf and @vincentkoc.</li>
+<li>fix(logging): add redaction patterns for Tencent Cloud, Alibaba Cloud, HuggingFace and Replicate API keys (#58162). Thanks @gavyngong</li>
+<li>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.</li>
+<li>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.</li>
+<li>Agents/failover: carry <code>sessionId</code>, <code>lane</code>, <code>provider</code>, <code>model</code>, and <code>profileId</code> attribution through <code>FailoverError</code> and <code>describeFailoverError</code>/<code>coerceToFailoverError</code> so structured error logs (e.g. <code>gateway.err.log</code> 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.</li>
+<li>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 <code>AssembleResult.promptAuthority: "preassembly_may_overflow"</code>. (#74255) Thanks @100yenadmin.</li>
+<li>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.</li>
+<li>Security/dotenv: block <code>COMSPEC</code> in workspace <code>.env</code> so a malicious repo cannot redirect Windows <code>cmd.exe</code> resolution, and lock in case-insensitive workspace-<code>.env</code> regression coverage for the full Windows shell trust-root family (<code>COMSPEC</code>, <code>PROGRAMFILES</code>, <code>PROGRAMW6432</code>, <code>SYSTEMROOT</code>, <code>WINDIR</code>). (#74460) Thanks @mmaps.</li>
+<li>Gateway/install: drop stale version-manager and package-manager PATH entries preserved from old service files during <code>gateway install --force</code> and doctor repair, so the repair path no longer recreates <code>gateway-path-nonminimal</code> warnings. Fixes #75220. (#75440) Thanks @leonaIee, @renaudcerrato, and @aaajiao.</li>

-<h3>Changes</h3>
-<ul>
-<li>Sandbox/Docker: add opt-in <code>sandbox.docker.gpus</code> passthrough for Docker sandbox containers so local GPU workloads can run inside sandboxed agents when the host Docker runtime supports <code>--gpus</code>. Fixes #57976; carries forward #58124. Thanks @cyan-ember.</li>
-<li>iOS/Gateway: add an authenticated <code>node.presence.alive</code> protocol event and <code>node.list</code> last-seen fields so background iOS wakes can mark paired nodes recently alive without treating them as connected. Carries forward #63123. Thanks @ngutman.</li>
-<li>Android: publish authenticated <code>node.presence.alive</code> events after node connect and background transitions so paired Android nodes retain durable last-seen metadata after disconnects. Carries forward #63123. Thanks @ngutman.</li>
-<li>Gateway/chat: accept non-image attachments through <code>chat.send</code> by staging them as agent-readable media paths, while keeping unsupported RPC attachment paths explicit instead of silently dropping files. Fixes #48123. (#67572) Thanks @samzong.</li>
-<li>Security/networking: add opt-in operator-managed outbound proxy routing (proxy.enabled + proxy.proxyUrl/OPENCLAW_PROXY_URL) with strict http:// forward-proxy validation, loopback-only Gateway bypass, and cleanup of proxy env/dispatcher state on exit. (#70044) Thanks @jesse-merhi and @joshavant.</li>
-<li>Dependencies: refresh provider and tooling dependencies, including AWS SDK, PI runtime packages, AJV, Feishu SDK, Anthropic SDK, tokenjuice, and native TypeScript/oxlint tooling. Thanks @dependabot.</li>
-<li>Matrix/QA: add live Matrix approval scenarios for exec metadata, chunked fallback, plugin approvals, deny reactions, thread targeting, and <code>target: "both"</code> delivery, with redacted artifacts preserving safe approval summaries. Thanks @gumadeiras.</li>
-<li>Codex: add Computer Use setup for Codex-mode agents, including <code>/codex computer-use status/install</code>, marketplace discovery, optional auto-install, and fail-closed MCP server checks before Codex-mode turns start. Fixes #72094. (#71842) Thanks @pash-openai.</li>
-<li>Apps: consume Peekaboo 3.0.0-beta4 and ElevenLabsKit 0.1.1, align Swabble on Commander 0.2.2, and refresh macOS/iOS SwiftPM resolutions against the released dependency graph. Thanks @Blaizzy.</li>
-<li>Plugin SDK: expose shared channel route normalization, parser-driven target resolution, raw-target compact keys, parsed-target types, and route comparison helpers through <code>openclaw/plugin-sdk/channel-route</code>, switch native approval origin matching onto that route contract with optional delivery and match-only target normalization, and retire the internal channel-route shim behind dated compatibility aliases for legacy key/comparable-target helpers. Thanks @vincentkoc.</li>
-<li>Docs/Codex: document how Codex Computer Use, direct <code>cua-driver mcp</code>, and OpenClaw.app's PeekabooBridge fit together so desktop-control setup choices are clearer. Thanks @pash-openai and @trycua.</li>
-<li>Matrix/streaming: stream tool-progress updates into live Matrix preview edits by default when preview streaming is active, with <code>streaming.preview.toolProgress: false</code> to keep answer previews while hiding interim tool lines. Thanks @gumadeiras.</li>
-<li>Plugins/models: wire manifest <code>modelCatalog.aliases</code> and <code>modelCatalog.suppressions</code> into model-catalog planning and built-in model suppression, with stale Spark and Qwen Coding Plan suppressions now declared in plugin manifests instead of runtime fallback hooks. Thanks @shakkernerd.</li>
-<li>Plugin SDK/models: add a shared manifest-backed provider catalog builder and move Qianfan, Xiaomi, NVIDIA, Cerebras, Mistral, Moonshot, DeepSeek, Tencent TokenHub, and StepFun provider catalogs onto their plugin manifest <code>modelCatalog</code> rows. Thanks @shakkernerd.</li>
-<li>Plugin SDK/models: move BytePlus and Volcano Engine standard and plan-provider catalogs into plugin manifest <code>modelCatalog</code> rows and remove the now-unused Volcengine-family shared catalog SDK subpath. Thanks @shakkernerd.</li>
-<li>CLI/models: move Fireworks and Together AI fixed provider catalogs into plugin manifest <code>modelCatalog</code> rows so provider-filtered listing can use manifest-backed static rows. Thanks @shakkernerd.</li>
-<li>Channels/Yuanbao: register the Tencent Yuanbao external channel plugin (<code>openclaw-plugin-yuanbao</code>) in the official channel catalog, contract suites, and community plugin docs, with a new <code>docs/channels/yuanbao.md</code> quick-start guide for WebSocket bot DMs and group chats. (#72756) Thanks @loongfay.</li>
-<li>Channels/Yuanbao: add a channel docs entrance so the Tencent Yuanbao bot appears in the channel listing and sidebar navigation. (#73443) Thanks @loongfay.</li>
-<li>Channels/QQBot: add full group chat support (history tracking, @-mention gating, activation modes, per-group config, FIFO message queue with deliver debounce), C2C <code>stream_messages</code> streaming with a <code>StreamingController</code> lifecycle manager, unified <code>sendMedia</code> with chunked upload for large files, and refactor the engine into pipeline stages, focused outbound submodules, builtin slash-command modules, and explicit DI ports via <code>createEngineAdapters()</code>. (#70624) Thanks @cxyhhhhh.</li>
-<li>Plugins/startup: migrate bundled plugin manifests to explicit <code>activation.onStartup</code> declarations so Gateway startup imports only the bundled plugins that intentionally register startup-time runtime surfaces. Thanks @shakkernerd.</li>
-<li>Plugins/startup: add an opt-in future-mode gate for disabling deprecated implicit startup sidecar loading while preserving explicit startup and narrower activation triggers. Thanks @shakkernerd.</li>
-<li>Plugins/startup: add plugin compatibility warnings for deprecated implicit startup loading so authors can migrate to explicit <code>activation.onStartup</code> metadata. Thanks @shakkernerd.</li>
-<li>Plugins/runtime: load bundled agent tool-result middleware from manifest contracts on demand so tokenjuice stays startup-lazy without losing Pi/Codex tool-output compaction. Thanks @shakkernerd.</li>
-<li>Plugins/startup: add explicit <code>activation.onStartup</code> metadata so plugins can declare Gateway startup import behavior while the deprecated implicit sidecar fallback remains for legacy plugins. Thanks @shakkernerd.</li>
-<li>Gateway/startup: reuse lookup-table plugin manifests when loading startup plugins so Gateway boot avoids rebuilding plugin discovery and manifest metadata. Thanks @shakkernerd.</li>
-<li>CLI/models: declare fixed Qianfan, Xiaomi, NVIDIA, Cerebras, Mistral, Chutes, Kilo, OpenAI, and OpenCode Go model catalogs in refreshable plugin manifests, keep broad <code>models list --all</code> on raw registry and supplement rows without runtime normalization, and avoid duplicate supplement resolution. Thanks @shakkernerd.</li>
-<li>Gateway/runtime: reuse the current plugin metadata snapshot for provider discovery so repeated model-provider discovery avoids rebuilding plugin manifest metadata. Thanks @shakkernerd.</li>
-<li>Gateway/startup: pass the plugin metadata snapshot from config validation into plugin bootstrap so startup reuses one manifest product instead of rebuilding plugin metadata. Thanks @shakkernerd.</li>
-<li>Plugin SDK/testing: move core-only channel contract fixtures under the channel contract test tree and retire the old <code>test/helpers/channels</code> bridge directory so plugin tests stay on focused SDK surfaces. Thanks @vincentkoc.</li>
-<li>Plugin SDK/testing: expose native agent-runtime contract fixtures through <code>plugin-sdk/agent-runtime-test-contracts</code>, move sandbox config fixtures into the focused generic fixture subpath, and block extension tests from importing repo-only <code>test/helpers</code> bridges. Thanks @vincentkoc.</li>
-<li>Plugin SDK/testing: expose generic module reload, bundled-path, Node builtin mock, channel pairing/envelope, HTTP server, temp-home, replay-policy, and live STT helpers through focused SDK test subpaths so extension tests no longer depend on repo-only helper bridges. Thanks @vincentkoc.</li>
-<li>Plugin SDK: move maintained bundled channels off the deprecated <code>channel-config-schema-legacy</code> subpath, add an explicit bundled-channel schema SDK surface, and track both remaining legacy test/config compatibility barrels with dated removal windows. Thanks @vincentkoc.</li>
-<li>Plugin SDK/testing: expose media provider capability assertions and provider HTTP mocks through focused SDK test subpaths, and retire the repo-only media-generation test helper bridge. Thanks @vincentkoc.</li>
-<li>Plugin SDK/testing: promote bundled plugin/provider/channel contract helpers to focused SDK test subpaths and retire the repo-only <code>test/helpers/plugins</code> TypeScript bridge. Thanks @vincentkoc.</li>
-<li>Plugin SDK/testing: expose generic channel action, setup, status, and directory contract helpers through <code>plugin-sdk/channel-test-helpers</code> so bundled extension tests no longer import repo-only channel helper bridges. Thanks @vincentkoc.</li>
-<li>Plugin SDK/testing: add <code>plugin-sdk/channel-target-testing</code> for shared channel target-resolution cases, document channel reaction helpers on <code>plugin-sdk/channel-feedback</code>, and keep the old <code>plugin-sdk/test-utils</code> alias as compatibility-only. Thanks @vincentkoc.</li>
-<li>Plugin SDK/testing: add a focused generic fixture subpath for CLI capture, sandbox, skill, agent-message, system-event, terminal, chunking, auth-token, and typed-case helpers. Thanks @vincentkoc.</li>
-<li>Plugin SDK/testing: add focused plugin runtime and environment fixture subpaths so plugin tests can avoid the broad <code>plugin-sdk/testing</code> barrel for common setup helpers. Thanks @vincentkoc.</li>
-<li>Plugin SDK/testing: add a focused <code>plugin-sdk/plugin-test-api</code> helper subpath and move bundled plugin registration tests off the repo-only plugin API bridge. Thanks @vincentkoc.</li>
-<li>Plugin SDK: add generic host hooks for session state, next-turn context, trusted tool policy, UI descriptors, events, scheduler cleanup, and run-scoped plugin context. (#72287) Thanks @100yenadmin.</li>
-<li>Plugin SDK/testing: expose provider catalog, wizard, registry, manifest, public-artifact, outbound, and TTS contract helpers through documented SDK testing seams so bundled plugin tests no longer import repo <code>src/**</code> internals. Thanks @vincentkoc.</li>
-<li>Providers/DeepInfra: add a bundled DeepInfra provider with <code>DEEPINFRA_API_KEY</code> onboarding, dynamic OpenAI-compatible model discovery, image generation/editing, image/audio media understanding, TTS, text-to-video, memory embeddings, static catalog metadata, and provider-owned base URL policy. Carries forward #53805, #48088, #37576, #43896, #11533, and #2554. Thanks @ats3v.</li>
-<li>Matrix: attach versioned structured approval metadata to pending approval messages so capable Matrix clients can render richer approval UI while body text and reaction fallback keep working. (#72432) Thanks @kakahu2015.</li>
-</ul>
-<h3>Fixes</h3>
-<ul>
-<li>Gateway/sessions: align <code>chat.history</code> and <code>sessions.list</code> thinking defaults with owning-agent and catalog-aware resolution so Control UI session defaults match backend runtime state. (#63418) Thanks @jpreagan.</li>
-<li>Devices/pairing: recover array-shaped device and node pairing state files before persisting approvals, so UUID-keyed pending and paired entries no longer disappear after a malformed JSON store write. Fixes #63035. Thanks @sar618.</li>
-<li>Gateway/auth: clear reused stale device tokens and stop reconnecting on device-token mismatch in the Control UI and Node gateway clients, avoiding rate-limit loops after scope-upgrade or token-rotation handoffs. Fixes #71609. Thanks @ricksayhi.</li>
-<li>Gateway/approvals: treat duplicate same-decision approval resolves as idempotent during the resolved-entry grace window, including consumed <code>allow-once</code> approvals, while returning an explicit already-resolved error for conflicting repeats. Fixes #59162; refs #58479 and #65486. Thanks @wikithoughts, @sajazuniga7-coder, and @mjmai20682068-create.</li>
-<li>Channels/Telegram: honor <code>approvals.exec/plugin.targets[].accountId</code> when routing native approvals across multi-bot Telegram accounts while preserving unscoped Telegram targets for any account. Fixes #69916. Thanks @joerod26.</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>Agents/exec: omit the internal session-resume fallback preface from successful async exec completion messages sent directly back to chat. Fixes #67181. Thanks @raistlin88.</li>
-<li>Agents/media: register detached <code>video_generate</code> and <code>music_generate</code> tool run contexts until terminal status, so Discord-backed provider jobs stay live in <code>/tasks</code> instead of becoming <code>lost</code> when the parent chat run context disappears. Thanks @vincentkoc.</li>
-<li>Agents/media: prefer OpenAI image and video providers when the default model uses the OpenAI Codex auth alias, so auto media generation no longer falls through to Fal before GPT Image or Sora. Thanks @vincentkoc.</li>
-<li>Tasks/media: infer agent ownership for session-scoped task records so <code>/tasks</code> agent-local fallback includes session-backed <code>video_generate</code> and other async media jobs even when the current chat session has no linked rows. Thanks @vincentkoc.</li>
-<li>Agents/media: keep long-running <code>video_generate</code> and <code>music_generate</code> tasks fresh while provider jobs are still pending, so task maintenance does not mark active Discord media renders lost before completion. Thanks @vincentkoc.</li>
-<li>CLI/status: treat scope-limited gateway probes as reachable-but-degraded in shared status scans, so <code>openclaw status --all</code> no longer reports a live gateway as unreachable after <code>missing scope: operator.read</code>. Fixes #49180; supersedes #47981. Thanks @openjay.</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>Slack/Socket Mode: use a 15s Slack SDK pong timeout by default and add <code>channels.slack.socketMode.clientPingTimeout</code>, <code>serverPingTimeout</code>, and <code>pingPongLoggingEnabled</code> overrides so stale-websocket handling no longer depends on app-event health heuristics. Fixes #14248; refs #58519, #64009, and #63488. Thanks @shivasymbl and @freerk.</li>
-<li>Slack/media: bound private file and forwarded attachment downloads with idle and total timeouts while preserving placeholder fallback, so stalled Slack <code>file_share</code> media no longer wedges inbound message handling. Fixes #61850. Thanks @bassboy2k.</li>
-<li>Plugins/inspector: keep bundled plugin runtime capture quiet and config-tolerant for Codex, memory-lancedb, Feishu, Mattermost, QQBot, and Tlon so plugin-inspector JSON checks can validate the full bundled set. Thanks @vincentkoc.</li>
-<li>Slack/auto-reply: keep fully consumed text reset triggers such as <code>new session</code> out of <code>BodyForAgent</code> after directive cleanup, so configured Slack reset phrases do not leak into the fresh model turn. Fixes #73137. Thanks @neeravmakwana.</li>
-<li>Plugins/runtime deps: prune stale retained bundled runtime deps and keep doctor/secret channel contract scans on lightweight artifacts, so disabled bundled channels stop preserving old dependency trees or importing heavy plugin surfaces. Thanks @SymbolStar and @vincentkoc.</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>Auto-reply: bound the post-run pending tool-result delivery drain with a progress-aware idle timeout, so a never-settling tool-result task no longer leaves the session active forever while slow healthy deliveries can keep draining. Fixes #53889; supersedes #64733 and #73434. Thanks @zijunl and @wujiaming88.</li>
-<li>Gateway/startup: start chat channels without waiting for primary model prewarm, keeping model warmup bounded in the background so Slack and other channels come online promptly when provider discovery is slow. Supersedes #73420. Thanks @dorukardahan.</li>
-<li>Gateway/install: carry env-backed config SecretRefs such as <code>channels.discord.token</code> into generated service environments when they are present only in the installing shell, while keeping gateway auth SecretRefs non-persisted. Fixes #67817; supersedes #73426. Thanks @wdimaculangan and @ztexydt-cqh.</li>
-<li>Auto-reply/commands: stop bare <code>/reset</code> and <code>/new</code> after reset hooks acknowledge the command, so non-ACP channels no longer fall through into empty provider calls while <code>/reset <message></code> and <code>/new <message></code> still seed the next model turn. Fixes #73367 and #73412. Thanks @hoyanhan, @wenxu007, and @amdhelper.</li>
-<li>Providers/DeepSeek: backfill DeepSeek V4 <code>reasoning_content</code> on plain assistant replay messages as well as tool-call turns, so thinking sessions with prior tool use no longer fail follow-up requests with missing reasoning content. Fixes #73417; refs #71372. Thanks @34262315716 and @Bartok9.</li>
-<li>Agents/gateway tool: strip full config payloads from <code>config.patch</code> and <code>config.apply</code> tool responses while preserving direct RPC responses, so config-heavy sessions no longer replay large redacted configs into transcript history. Fixes #47610; supersedes #73439. Thanks @HanenVit and @juan-flores077.</li>
-<li>Auto-reply: preserve voice-note media from silent turns while continuing to suppress text and non-voice media, so <code>NO_REPLY</code> TTS replies still deliver the requested audio bubble. (#73406) Thanks @zqchris.</li>
-<li>Channels/Mattermost: stop enqueueing regular inbound posts as system events, so Mattermost user messages reach the model only as user-role inbound-envelope content instead of also appearing as <code>System: Mattermost message...</code> directives. Fixes #71795. Thanks @juan-flores077.</li>
-<li>Agents/media: qualify bare <code>agents.defaults.imageModel</code> and <code>pdfModel</code> refs from unique configured image-capable providers, so Ollama vision models such as <code>moondream</code> and <code>qwen2.5vl:7b</code> do not fall through to the default provider. Fixes #38816; supersedes #73396. Thanks @alainasclaw and @vincentkoc.</li>
-<li>Agents/Anthropic: send implicit Anthropic beta headers only to direct public Anthropic endpoints, including OAuth, so custom Anthropic-compatible providers no longer mis-handle unsupported beta flags unless explicitly configured. Refs #73346. Thanks @byBrodowski.</li>
-<li>Skills: require explicit <code>skills.entries.coding-agent.enabled</code> before exposing the bundled coding-agent skill, so installs with Codex on PATH but no OpenAI auth do not silently offer Codex delegation. Fixes #73358. Thanks @LaFleurAdvertising and @Sanjays2402.</li>
-<li>Plugins/startup: treat manifestless Claude bundles as valid installed-plugin registry entries instead of stale missing manifests, so workspace bundles no longer force repeated derived registry rebuilds or noisy <code>plugins.entries.workspace</code> warnings during Gateway startup. Fixes #73433. Thanks @AnneVoss.</li>
-<li>Agents/subagents: preserve <code>sessions_yield</code> as a paused subagent state and ignore its wait text while freezing completion output, so parent sessions wait for the final post-compaction answer instead of receiving intermediate progress or <code>(no output)</code>. Fixes #73413. Thanks @Ask-sola.</li>
-<li>Plugins/startup: precompute bundled runtime mirror fingerprints before taking the mirror lock and keep Docker bundled plugin runtime deps/mirrors in a Docker-managed volume instead of the Windows/WSL config bind mount, so cold starts avoid slow host-volume mirror writes. Fixes #73339. Thanks @1yihui.</li>
-<li>Plugins/runtime deps: refresh bundled runtime mirrors without deleting active import trees, so config-triggered restarts do not see transient missing plugin files during registration. Thanks @shakkernerd.</li>
-<li>Channels/LINE: persist inbound image, video, audio, and file downloads in <code>~/.openclaw/media/inbound/</code> instead of temporary files so agents can still read LINE media after <code>/tmp</code> cleanup. Fixes #73370. Thanks @hijirii and @wenxu007.</li>
-<li>CLI/plugins: keep bundled plugin installs out of <code>plugins.load.paths</code> while preserving install records, so install/inspect/doctor loops no longer warn about the current bundled plugin directory. Thanks @vincentkoc.</li>
-<li>CLI/plugins: scope <code>plugins inspect <id></code> runtime loading to the matched plugin so single-plugin inspection does not load every plugin before checking the target. Thanks @shakkernerd.</li>
-<li>CLI/plugins: remove managed copied-path plugin directories during uninstall and plan uninstall from metadata instead of runtime-loading plugins, so plugin lifecycle commands avoid unnecessary bundled runtime-deps work. Thanks @shakkernerd.</li>
-<li>Cron tool: infer the creating session's agentId for <code>cron.add</code> jobs when <code>agentId</code> is omitted or passed as undefined, keeping scheduled agentTurn jobs routed to the session agent; #40571 identified the guard bug and supplied the focused regression coverage. Thanks @ChanningYul.</li>
-<li>Cron/Telegram: add <code>--thread-id</code> to <code>openclaw cron add</code> and <code>openclaw cron edit</code>, preserving Telegram forum topic delivery targets across scheduled announcements. Carries forward #51581, #60373, and #60890. Thanks @ChunHao-dev.</li>
-<li>Cron/Telegram: preserve session-derived Telegram topic thread IDs when isolated cron delivery explicitly targets the parent chat, keeping bare chat targets in the active forum topic without leaking stale topics to other chats. Carries forward #64708. Thanks @addelh.</li>
-<li>Memory/compaction: keep pre-compaction memory-flush prompts runtime-only so session transcripts and <code>chat.history</code> no longer expose them as normal user turns. Fixes #54408 and #58956; refs #43567. Thanks @markgong and @guoyuhang9.</li>
-<li>Control UI/WebChat: keep large attachment payloads out of Lit state and optimistic chat messages, using object URL previews plus send-time payload serialization so PDF/image uploads no longer trigger <code>RangeError: Maximum call stack size exceeded</code>. Fixes #73360; refs #54378 and #63432. Thanks @hejunhui-73, @Ansub, and @christianhernandez3-afk.</li>
-<li>Agents/Anthropic: cancel stalled Anthropic Messages SSE body reads when abort signals fire, so active-memory timeouts release transport resources instead of leaving hidden recall runs parked on <code>reader.read()</code>. Refs #72965 and #73120. Thanks @wdeveloper16.</li>
-<li>Control UI/WebChat: keep pending run and typing state attached to the active client run, so unowned inject/announce/side-result finals no longer unlock unrelated active runs while completed owned runs still clear promptly. Fixes #57795; carries forward the narrow diagnosis from #57887. Thanks @haoyu-haoyu.</li>
-<li>Sandbox/Docker: stop satisfying a missing default sandbox image by tagging plain Debian as <code>openclaw-sandbox:bookworm-slim</code>, preserving the Python tooling required by sandbox write/edit helpers and directing users to build the default image. Fixes #51185; refs #45108, #51099, #51609, and #57713. Thanks @dpalis, @Tin55FoilDev, @jbcohen2-coder, @macminihal-cyber, and @PraxoOnline.</li>
-<li>Control UI/WebChat: confirm toolbar New Session button resets before dispatching <code>/new</code> while leaving typed <code>/new</code> and <code>/reset</code> commands immediate. Fixes #45800; refs #27065, #56611, #54499, and #27110. Thanks @aethnova, @kosta228-huli, @adambezemek, and @xss925175263 (xianshishan).</li>
-<li>Agents/models: keep per-agent primary models strict when <code>fallbacks</code> is omitted, so probe-only custom providers are not tried as hidden fallback candidates unless the agent explicitly opts in. Fixes #73332. Thanks @haumanto.</li>
-<li>Gateway/models: add <code>models.pricing.enabled</code> so offline or restricted-network installs can skip startup OpenRouter and LiteLLM pricing-catalog fetches while keeping explicit model costs working. Fixes #53639. Thanks @callebtc, @palewire, and @rjdjohnston.</li>
-<li>Gateway/startup: warn when legacy <code>CLAWDBOT_*</code> or <code>MOLTBOT_*</code> environment variables are still present, pointing users to <code>OPENCLAW_*</code> names instead of failing silently. Fixes #53482; carries forward #53667. Thanks @lndyzwdxhs.</li>
-<li>Onboarding: pin interactive and non-interactive health checks to the just-configured setup token/password so stale <code>OPENCLAW_GATEWAY_TOKEN</code> or <code>OPENCLAW_GATEWAY_PASSWORD</code> values do not produce false gateway-token-mismatch failures after setup. Fixes #72203. Thanks @galiniliev.</li>
-<li>Doctor/state: require an interactive confirmation before archiving orphan transcript files, so <code>openclaw doctor --fix</code> no longer silently renames recoverable session history after upgrades regenerate <code>sessions.json</code>. Fixes #73106. Thanks @scottgl9.</li>
-<li>Cron/Telegram: preserve explicit <code>:topic:</code> delivery targets over stale session-derived thread IDs when isolated cron announces to Telegram forum topics. Carries forward #59069; refs #49704 and #43808. Thanks @roytong9.</li>
-<li>Build/runtime: write the runtime-postbuild stamp after <code>pnpm build</code> writes the build stamp, so the next CLI invocation does not re-sync runtime artifacts after a successful build. Fixes #73151. Thanks @bittoby.</li>
-<li>Build/runtime: preserve staged bundled-plugin runtime dependency caches across source-checkout tsdown rebuilds, so local CLI and gateway-watch rebuilds no longer recreate large plugin dependency trees before starting. Refs #73205. Thanks @SymbolStar.</li>
-<li>CLI/channels: list configured chat channel accounts from read-only setup metadata even when the standalone CLI has not loaded the runtime channel registry, so <code>openclaw channels list</code> shows Telegram accounts before auth providers. Fixes #73319 and #73322. Thanks @mlaihk.</li>
-<li>CLI/model probes: keep <code>infer model run --gateway</code> raw by skipping prior session transcript, bootstrap context, context-engine assembly, tools, and bundled MCP servers, so local backends can be tested without full agent-context overhead. Fixes #73308. Thanks @ScientificProgrammer.</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. Addresses #63700. Thanks @cedricjanssens.</li>
-<li>Providers/Ollama: reject long non-linguistic Kimi/GLM symbol runs as provider failures instead of storing them as successful visible assistant replies, so fallback or error handling can recover from garbled cloud output. Fixes #64262; refs #67019. Thanks @Kloz813 and @xiaomenger123.</li>
-<li>CLI/model probes: reject empty or whitespace-only <code>infer model run --prompt</code> values before calling local providers or the Gateway, so smoke checks do not spend provider calls on invalid turns. Fixes #73185. Thanks @iot2edge.</li>
-<li>Gateway/media: route text-only <code>chat.send</code> image offloads through media-understanding fields so <code>agents.defaults.imageModel</code> can describe WebChat attachments instead of leaving only an opaque <code>media://inbound</code> marker. Fixes #72968. Thanks @vorajeeah.</li>
-<li>Gateway/Windows: route no-listener restart handoffs through the Windows supervisor without leaving restart tokens in flight, so failed task scheduling can be retried and successful handoffs do not coalesce later restart requests. (#69056) Thanks @Thatgfsj.</li>
-<li>Gateway/model pricing: skip plugin manifest discovery during background pricing refreshes when <code>plugins.enabled: false</code>, so disabled-plugin setups do not keep rebuilding plugin metadata from the Gateway hot path. Fixes #73291. Thanks @slideshow-dingo and @fishgills.</li>
-<li>Ollama/thinking: validate <code>/think</code> commands against live Ollama catalog reasoning metadata and preserve explicit native <code>params.think</code>/<code>params.thinking</code>, so models whose <code>/api/show</code> capabilities include <code>thinking</code> expose <code>low</code>, <code>medium</code>, <code>high</code>, and <code>max</code> instead of being stuck on <code>off</code>. Fixes #73366. Thanks @cymise.</li>
-<li>Gateway/sessions: remove automatic oversized <code>sessions.json</code> rotation backups, deprecate <code>session.maintenance.rotateBytes</code>, and teach <code>openclaw doctor --fix</code> to remove the ignored key so hot session writes no longer copy multi-MB stores. Refs #72338. Thanks @midhunmonachan and @DougButdorf.</li>
-<li>Channels/Telegram: fail fast when Telegram rejects the startup <code>getMe</code> token probe with 401, so invalid or stale BotFather tokens are reported as token auth failures instead of misleading <code>deleteWebhook</code> cleanup failures. Fixes #47674. Thanks @samaedan-arch.</li>
-<li>ACPX: keep generated Codex and Claude ACP wrapper startup paths working when remote or special state filesystems reject chmod, since OpenClaw invokes the wrappers through Node instead of executing them directly. Fixes #73333. Thanks @david-garcia-garcia.</li>
-<li>CLI/onboarding: infer image input for common custom-provider vision model IDs, ask only for unknown models, and keep <code>--custom-image-input</code>/<code>--custom-text-input</code> overrides so vision-capable proxies do not get saved as text-only configs. Fixes #51869. Thanks @Antsoldier1974.</li>
-<li>Models/OpenAI Codex: stop listing or resolving unsupported <code>openai-codex/gpt-5.4-mini</code> rows through Codex OAuth, keep stale discovery rows suppressed with a clear API-key-route hint, and leave direct <code>openai/gpt-5.4-mini</code> available. Fixes #73242. Thanks @0xCyda.</li>
-<li>Plugin SDK: restore the root <code>stringEnum</code> and <code>optionalStringEnum</code> exports on both the published SDK entry and runtime root-alias bridge, so older external plugins can keep building and loading while migrating to focused SDK subpaths. Fixes #68279. Thanks @marzliak.</li>
-<li>Plugin SDK: restore the root-alias bridge for <code>registerContextEngine</code> and expose missing legacy compat helpers <code>normalizeAccountId</code> and <code>resolvePreferredOpenClawTmpDir</code> so older external plugins such as <code>openclaw-weixin</code> can keep loading while migrating to focused SDK subpaths. Fixes #53497. Thanks @alanxchen85.</li>
-<li>Auth profiles: make <code>openclaw doctor --fix</code> migrate legacy flat <code>auth-profiles.json</code> files such as <code>{ "ollama-windows": { "apiKey": "ollama-local" } }</code> to canonical provider default API-key profiles with a backup, so custom Ollama/OpenAI-compatible providers recover cleanly after upgrading. Fixes #59629; supersedes #59642. Thanks @Xsanders555 and @Linux2010.</li>
-<li>Memory/Dreaming: retry Dream Diary once with the session default when a configured dreaming model is unavailable, while leaving subagent trust and allowlist errors visible instead of silently masking configuration problems. Refs #67409 and #69209. Thanks @Ghiggins18 and @everySympathy.</li>
-<li>Feishu/inbound files: recover CJK filenames from plain <code>Content-Disposition: filename=</code> download headers when Feishu exposes UTF-8 bytes through Latin-1 header decoding, while leaving valid Latin-1 and JSON-derived names unchanged. (#48578, #50435, #59431) Thanks @alex-xuweilong, @lishuaigit, and @DoChaoing.</li>
-<li>Channels/Telegram: normalize accidental full <code>/bot<TOKEN></code> Telegram <code>apiRoot</code> values at runtime and teach <code>openclaw doctor --fix</code> to remove the suffix, so startup control calls no longer 404 when direct Bot API curl commands work. Fixes #55387. Thanks @brendanmatthewjones-cmyk, @techfindubai-ux, and @Sivlerback-Chris.</li>
-<li>Zalo Personal: persist refreshed <code>zca-js</code> session cookies after QR login, session restore, and successful API calls so gateway restarts restore the freshest local session. (#73277) Thanks @darkamenosa.</li>
-<li>Logging/security: redact sensitive tokens (sk-\* keys, Bearer/Authorization values, etc.) at the subsystem console sink so <code>createSubsystemLogger().info/warn/error</code> output that bypasses the patched console-capture handler still applies the same redaction the file transport already does. Fixes #73284; refs #67953 and #64046. Thanks @edwin-rivera-dev.</li>
-<li>Plugins/runtime deps: reuse enclosing versioned cache roots when bundled plugins resolve from nested staged paths, so plugin-runtime-deps no longer mints <code>openclaw-unknown-*</code> directories or loops on <code>ENOTEMPTY</code>. Fixes #72956. (#73205) Thanks @SymbolStar.</li>
-<li>Agents/failover: classify CJK provider transport, quota, billing, auth, and overload error text so Chinese-language provider failures trigger fallback and user-facing transport copy instead of surfacing as unclassified raw errors. (#56242) Thanks @tomcatzh.</li>
-<li>Agents/failover: seed non-claude-cli fallback prompts with Claude Code session context when a claude-cli attempt fails, so fallback models do not restart cold after billing or quota failover. (#72069) Thanks @stainlu.</li>
-<li>Agents/CLI runner: transfer bundle-MCP tempDir cleanup from the per-turn runner finally to the Claude live-session lifecycle, so persistent Claude CLI sessions keep their <code>--mcp-config</code> directory until the live subprocess closes. Fixes #73244. Thanks @edwin-rivera-dev.</li>
-<li>Gateway/nodes: allow Windows companion nodes to use safe declared commands such as canvas, camera list, location, device info, and screen snapshot by default while keeping dangerous media commands opt-in. (#71884) Thanks @shanselman.</li>
-<li>Agents/cron: clarify agent-tool and CLI cron timezone guidance so supplied <code>tz</code> values use local wall-clock cron fields and omitted cron <code>tz</code> falls back to the Gateway host local timezone. Fixes #53669; carries forward #46177. (#73372) Thanks @chen-zhang-cs-code and @maranello-o.</li>
-<li>Providers/Qwen: allow explicitly configured <code>qwen/qwen3.6-plus</code> to resolve on Qwen Coding Plan endpoints while keeping the built-in catalog from advertising it there. Fixes #63654; carries forward #63987. Thanks @jepson-liu.</li>
-<li>Channels/Telegram: keep Bot API network fallbacks sticky after failed attempts and retry timed-out startup control calls once on the fallback route, so <code>deleteWebhook</code> IPv6 stalls no longer trigger slow multi-account retry storms. Fixes #73255. Thanks @ttomiczek and @sktbrd.</li>
-<li>Gateway/agents: accept heartbeat, cron, and webhook as internal channel hints for agent runs so <code>sessions_spawn</code> works from non-delivery parent sessions while unknown channel hints still fail closed. Fixes #73237. Thanks @KeWang0622.</li>
-<li>Gateway/models: merge explicit <code>models.providers.*.models</code> rows into the Gateway model catalog with normalized provider/model dedupe, and use normalized image-capability lookup so custom vision models keep native image attachments even when Pi discovery omits them or model ID casing differs. Fixes #64213 and #65165. Thanks @billonese and @202233a.</li>
-<li>Gateway/reload: publish canonical post-write source config to in-process reloaders so simple config saves no longer create phantom plugin diffs or trigger unnecessary Gateway restarts. (#73267) Thanks @szsip239.</li>
-<li>Gateway/Docker: keep config-triggered restarts in-process inside containers instead of spawning a detached child and exiting PID 1 cleanly, so Docker Swarm and other on-failure supervisors do not leave the service stuck at 0/1 replicas. Fixes #73178. Thanks @du-nguyen-IT007.</li>
-<li>CLI/tasks: ship the task-registry control runtime in npm packages so <code>openclaw tasks cancel</code> can load ACP/subagent cancellation helpers from published builds. Fixes #68997. Thanks @1OAKDesign.</li>
-<li>Channels/Telegram: preserve unsent generated media after partial reply streaming has already delivered the text, so <code>image_generate</code> outputs still reach Telegram as photos instead of being dropped from the final payload. Fixes #73253. Thanks @mlaihk.</li>
-<li>Memory-core/dreaming: cap detached Dream Diary narrative subagents across cron sweeps so multi-workspace dreaming no longer fans out unbounded subagent sessions, lock contention, and cascading narrative timeouts. Fixes #73198. (#73287) Thanks @KeWang0622.</li>
-<li>CLI/agents: close local one-shot Claude live stdio sessions and bundled MCP loopback resources after embedded <code>openclaw agent --local</code> runs, while keeping gateway-owned MCP loopback cleanup internal to the Gateway. Thanks @frankekn.</li>
-<li>Export/session: keep inline export HTML scripts and vendor libraries injected after template formatting so generated session exports open with the app code, markdown renderer, and syntax highlighter present. Fixes #41862 and #49957; carries forward #41861 and #68947. Thanks @briannewman, @martenzi, and @armanddp.</li>
-<li>Agents/ACPX: stage the patched Claude ACP adapter as an ACPX runtime dependency and route known Codex/Claude ACP commands through local wrappers, so Gateway runtime no longer depends on live <code>npx</code> adapter resolution. Fixes #73202. Thanks @joerod26.</li>
-<li>Memory/compaction: let pre-compaction memory flush use an exact <code>agents.defaults.compaction.memoryFlush.model</code> override such as <code>ollama/qwen3:8b</code> without inheriting the active session fallback chain, so local housekeeping can avoid paid conversation models. Fixes #53772. Thanks @limen96.</li>
-<li>macOS/update: stop managed Gateway services before package replacement and keep LaunchAgent service secrets out of world-readable plist metadata by loading them from owner-only env files. Fixes #72996. Thanks @Mathewb7.</li>
-<li>Google Meet: keep observe-only Chrome joins and setup checks from requiring BlackHole or audio bridge commands, avoid granting or selecting the microphone in observe-only mode, and make <code>test_speech</code> report fresh realtime output-byte verification instead of only confirming a queued utterance. Refs #72478. Thanks @DougButdorf.</li>
-<li>Gateway/hooks: route non-delivered hook completion and error summaries to the target agent's main session instead of the default agent session, preserving multi-agent hook isolation. Fixes #24693; carries forward #68667. Thanks @abersonFAC and @bluesky6868.</li>
-<li>Control UI/models: request the configured Gateway model-list view so dashboards with only <code>models.providers.*.models</code> show those configured models first instead of flooding the picker with the full built-in catalog. Fixes #65405. Thanks @wbyanclaw.</li>
-<li>CLI/models: keep default-model and allowlist pickers on explicit <code>models.providers.*.models</code> entries when <code>models.mode</code> is <code>replace</code> instead of loading the full built-in catalog. Fixes #64950. Thanks @mrozentsvayg.</li>
-<li>Media/security: tighten media-understanding MIME sanitization so parameterized MIME values stay end-anchored and malformed whitespace or suffix payloads are rejected before file-context handling. Fixes #9795; carries forward #68225 with related review/test context from #61016/#68456. Thanks @ymaxgit, @bluesky6868, and @shamsulalam1114.</li>
-<li>Discord: own the Carbon interaction listener and hand off Discord slash/component handling asynchronously, so compaction or long session locks no longer trip <code>InteractionEventListener</code> listener timeouts. Fixes #73204. Thanks @slideshow-dingo.</li>
-<li>Compaction/diagnostics: keep unknown compaction failure classifications stable while logging sanitized detail for unclassified provider errors such as missing Ollama provider adapters. Thanks @gzsiang.</li>
-<li>Models/fallbacks: record first-class <code>model.fallback_step</code> trajectory events with from/to models, failure detail, chain position, and final outcome so support exports preserve the primary model failure even when a later fallback also fails. Fixes #71744. Thanks @nikolaykazakovvs-ux.</li>
-<li>Gateway/agents: block agent <code>exec</code> from launching interactive <code>openclaw channels login</code> flows and abort active agent runs after invalid-config recovery restores last-known-good config, preventing known channel-login and reload paths from wedging replies. Refs #72338. Thanks @midhunmonachan.</li>
-<li>Gateway/diagnostics: emit payload-free liveness warnings with event-loop delay, event-loop utilization, CPU-core ratio, active-session counts, and OTEL warning metrics/spans so live-but-stalled Gateways capture CPU-spin context in stability bundles and telemetry. Refs #72338. Thanks @midhunmonachan and @DougButdorf.</li>
-<li>Gateway/startup: keep value-option foreground starts on the gateway fast path and skip proxy bootstrap unless proxy env is configured, reducing normal gateway startup RSS and avoiding full CLI graph loading. Thanks @vincentkoc.</li>
-<li>Heartbeat/models: show heartbeat model bleed guidance on context-overflow resets when the last runtime model matches configured <code>heartbeat.model</code>, so smaller local heartbeat models point users to <code>isolatedSession</code> or <code>lightContext</code> instead of only compaction-buffer tuning. Fixes #67314. Thanks @Knightmare6890.</li>
-<li>Subagents/models: persist <code>sessions_spawn.model</code> and configured subagent models as child-session model overrides before the first turn, so spawned subagents actually run on the requested provider/model instead of reverting to the target agent default. Fixes #73180. Thanks @danielzinhu99.</li>
-<li>Channels/Telegram: keep webhook-mode local listeners alive and retry Telegram <code>setWebhook</code> registration after recoverable startup network failures, so transient Bot API timeouts no longer leave reverse proxies pointing at a closed listener. Fixes #71834. Thanks @jinon86.</li>
-<li>Agents/ACPX: bundle the Codex ACP adapter and launch it from the isolated <code>CODEX_HOME</code> wrapper before falling back to npm, so Codex ACP startup no longer depends on live <code>npx</code> resolution or the stale <code>@zed-industries/codex-acp@^0.11.1</code> range. Fixes #72037; refs #73202. Thanks @jasonftl, @sazora, and @joerod26.</li>
-<li>Agents/ACPX: register the embedded ACP backend at Gateway startup through a lightweight ACP backend SDK path and without importing the heavy ACPX runtime until an ACP session or explicit startup probe needs it, reducing baseline Gateway RSS. Thanks @vincentkoc.</li>
-<li>CLI/update: keep restart health polling when the restarted Gateway is reachable but has not reported its version yet, so macOS service restarts do not fail early with <code>actual unavailable</code>. Thanks @ProspectOre.</li>
-<li>Backup: skip installed plugin <code>extensions/*/node_modules</code> dependency trees while keeping plugin manifests and source files in archives, so local backups avoid rebuildable npm payload bloat. Fixes #64144. Thanks @BrilliantWang.</li>
-<li>Cron/models: fail isolated cron runs closed when an explicit <code>payload.model</code> is not allowed or cannot be resolved, so scheduled jobs do not silently fall back to an unrelated agent default or paid route before configured provider proxies such as LiteLLM can run. Fixes #73146. Thanks @oneandrewwang.</li>
-<li>Memory/QMD: back off repeated chat-turn QMD open failures while still letting memory status and CLI probes recheck immediately, so a broken sidecar dependency cannot trigger active-memory or cron retry storms. Fixes #73188 and #73176. Thanks @leonlushgit and @w3i-William.</li>
-<li>Talk Mode: resolve <code>messages.tts.providers.<id>.apiKey</code> through the active runtime snapshot for <code>talk.config</code>, so Talk overlays can discover SecretRef-backed speech providers without falling back to local speech. Fixes #73109. (#73111) Thanks @omarshahine.</li>
-<li>Memory/Ollama: resolve <code>memorySearch.provider</code> custom provider ids through their configured <code>models.providers.<id>.api</code> owner, so multi-GPU Ollama setups can dedicate embeddings to providers such as <code>ollama-5080</code> without losing the Ollama adapter or local auth semantics. Fixes #73150. Thanks @oneandrewwang.</li>
-<li>CLI/memory: skip eager context-window warmup for <code>openclaw memory</code> commands so memory search does not race unrelated model metadata discovery. Fixes #73123. Thanks @oalansilva and @neeravmakwana.</li>
-<li>CLI/Telegram: route Telegram <code>message send</code> and poll actions through the running Gateway when available, so packaged installs use the staged <code>grammy</code> runtime deps and CLI sends return instead of hanging after the Telegram channel is active. Fixes #73140. Thanks @oalansilva.</li>
-<li>Plugins/runtime deps: prepare staged bundled plugin dependencies before loading packaged public surfaces, so OpenClaw's Telegram runtime/test facade loads resolve <code>grammy</code> from the managed runtime-deps stage without copying dependencies into the global package root. Refs #73140. Thanks @oalansilva.</li>
-<li>Agents/exec: emit <code>(no output)</code> for silent exec update and node-host result blocks so Anthropic-compatible providers no longer reject empty tool-result text after quiet commands. Fixes #73117. Thanks @pfrederiksen and @Sanjays2402.</li>
-<li>Cron/providers: preflight local Ollama and OpenAI-compatible provider endpoints before isolated cron agent turns, record unreachable local providers as skipped runs, and cache dead-endpoint probes so many jobs do not hammer the same stopped local server. Fixes #58584. Thanks @jpeghead.</li>
-<li>Gateway/config: let config reload continue in degraded mode when invalidity is scoped to plugin entries, so incompatible plugin configs can be skipped and the Gateway restart can still pick up the rest of the config after rollbacks. Fixes #73131. Thanks @Adam-Researchh.</li>
-<li>Doctor/channels: suppress disabled bundled-plugin blocker warnings when a trusted external plugin owns the configured channel, so Lark/Feishu installs no longer get Feishu repair noise after switching to <code>openclaw-lark</code>. Fixes #56794. Thanks @wuji-tech-dev.</li>
-<li>CLI/status: show skipped fast-path memory checks as <code>not checked</code> and report active custom memory plugin runtime status from <code>status --json --all</code> without requiring built-in <code>agents.defaults.memorySearch</code>, so plugins such as memory-lancedb-pro and memory-cms no longer look unavailable when their own runtime is healthy. Fixes #56968. Thanks @Tony-ooo and @aderius.</li>
-<li>Gateway/channels: record and log unexpected clean channel monitor exits so channels that return without throwing no longer appear stopped with no error. Fixes #73099. Thanks @balaji1968-kingler.</li>
-<li>Discord/group chats: keep group/channel replies private by default unless the agent explicitly uses the message tool, so always-on rooms can lurk without leaking automatic final, block, preview, or status-reaction output; <code>messages.groupChat.visibleReplies: "automatic"</code> restores legacy auto-posting. (#73046) Thanks @scoootscooob.</li>
-<li>Plugins/package: force nested bundled-plugin runtime dependency installs out of inherited npm dry-run mode during prepack and package smoke checks, so packed installs materialize required plugin modules instead of reporting missing bundled files. Refs #73128. Thanks @Adam-Researchh.</li>
-<li>Discord: skip reaction events before REST channel fetch when notifications are off, guild reactions are disabled, or allowlist mode cannot match without channel overrides, reducing reconnect bursts that caused slow listener warnings. Fixes #73133. Thanks @isaacsummers.</li>
-<li>Channels/Telegram: centralize polling update tracking so accepted offsets remain durable across restarts, same-process handler failures can still retry, and slow offset writes cannot overwrite newer accepted watermarks. Refs #73115. Thanks @vdruts.</li>
-<li>Agents/models: classify empty, reasoning-only, and planning-only terminal agent runs before accepting a model fallback candidate, so invalid or incompatible models can advance to the next configured fallback instead of returning a 30-second terminal failure. Fixes #73115. Thanks @vdruts.</li>
-<li>Memory/LanceDB: let embedding config use provider-backed auth profiles, environment credentials, or provider config without a separate plugin <code>embedding.apiKey</code>, so OAuth-capable embedding providers can power auto-recall/capture. Fixes #68950. Thanks @malshaalan-ai.</li>
-<li>CLI/parents: invoking <code>openclaw <parent></code> (memory, channels, plugins, approvals, devices, cron, mcp) without a subcommand now prints the parent's help and exits <code>0</code>, matching <code><parent> --help</code> and the existing <code>agents</code> / <code>sessions</code> defaults so shell <code>&&</code> chains and pnpm wrappers no longer surface a misleading <code>ELIFECYCLE Command failed with exit code 1.</code> line. Fixes #73077. Thanks @hclsys.</li>
-<li>Plugins/hooks: time out never-settling <code>agent_end</code> observation hooks after 30 seconds and log the plugin failure, so hung embedding endpoints no longer leave memory capture silently pending forever. Fixes #65544. Thanks @ghoc0099.</li>
-<li>Gateway/config: serve runtime config schemas from the current plugin metadata snapshot and generated bundled channel schema metadata instead of rebuilding plugin channel config modules on every <code>config.get</code>/<code>config.schema</code>, preventing idle plugin-discovery CPU churn after upgrades. Fixes #73088. Thanks @sleitor and @geovansb.</li>
-<li>Memory/LanceDB: call OpenAI-compatible embedding endpoints through the raw SDK transport without sending <code>encoding_format</code>, then normalize float-array or base64 responses so providers such as ZhiPu and DashScope no longer fail recall with wrong vector dimensions or rejected parameters. Fixes #63655. Thanks @kinthaiofficial.</li>
-<li>Plugins/install: run dependency installs with npm error-level logging instead of silent mode so failed plugin or hook installs surface actionable npm errors such as EUNSUPPORTEDPROTOCOL instead of <code>npm install failed:</code> with no detail. (#73093) Thanks @sanctrl.</li>
-<li>Memory/LanceDB: bound memory recall embedding queries with a new <code>recallMaxChars</code> setting, prefer the latest user message over channel prompt metadata during auto-recall, and document the knob so small Ollama embedding models avoid context-length failures. Fixes #56780. Thanks @rungmc357 and @zak-collaborator.</li>
-<li>CLI/skills: resolve workspace-backed skills commands from <code>--agent</code>, then the current agent workspace, before falling back to the default agent, so multi-agent ClawHub installs, updates, and status checks stay scoped to the active workspace. Fixes #56161; carries forward #72726. Thanks @langbowang and @luyao618.</li>
-<li>Plugin SDK: fall back from partial bundled plugin directory overrides to package source public surfaces while preserving <code>OPENCLAW_DISABLE_BUNDLED_PLUGINS</code> as a hard disable. (#72817) Thanks @serkonyc.</li>
-<li>Agents/ACPX: stop forwarding Codex ACP timeout config controls that Codex rejects while preserving OpenClaw's run-timeout watchdog for ACP subagents. Fixes #73052. Thanks @pfrederiksen and @richa65.</li>
-<li>Memory Core: stream fallback vector search scoring with a bounded top-K result set so large indexes do not materialize every chunk embedding when sqlite-vec is unavailable. (#73069) Thanks @parkertoddbrooks.</li>
-<li>Memory Core: stream embedding-cache seeding during safe reindex so large local caches do not materialize every row into the V8 heap before the atomic rebuild. (#73067) Thanks @parkertoddbrooks.</li>
-<li>Memory/Ollama: add <code>memorySearch.remote.nonBatchConcurrency</code> for inline embedding indexing, default Ollama non-batch indexing to one request at a time, and keep batch concurrency separate from non-batch concurrency so local embedding backfills avoid timeout storms on smaller hosts. Carries forward #57733. Thanks @itilys.</li>
-<li>macOS app: update Peekaboo, ElevenLabsKit, and MLX TTS helper dependencies, make canvas file watching and config/exec-approval state writes reliable under concurrent app/test activity, and keep the app plus helper builds warning-free. Thanks @Blaizzy.</li>
-<li>iOS app: refresh SwiftPM/XcodeGen source hygiene, make app, extension, watch, and curated shared Swift files pass the prebuild SwiftFormat and SwiftLint checks, move relay registration off deprecated StoreKit receipt APIs, and keep simulator builds and logic tests warning-free. Thanks @ngutman.</li>
-<li>Agents/models: keep <code>models.json</code> readiness and provider-hook caches warm across repeated agent and subagent model resolution while preserving external <code>models.json</code> invalidation, reducing repeated provider-plugin loads on slower ARM64 hosts. Fixes #73075. Thanks @jochen.</li>
-<li>Docs/tools: clarify that <code>tools.profile: "messaging"</code> is intentionally narrow and that <code>tools.profile: "full"</code> is the unrestricted baseline for broader command/control access. Carries forward #39954. Thanks @posigit.</li>
-<li>Control UI/Agents: redact tool-call args, partial/final results, derived exec output, and configured custom secret patterns before streaming tool events to the Control UI, so tool output cannot expose provider or channel credentials. Fixes #72283. (#72319) Thanks @volcano303 and @BunsDev.</li>
-<li>Agents/sessions: keep <code>sessions_history</code> recall redaction enabled even when general log redaction is disabled, and clarify that safety-boundary UI/tool/diagnostic payloads still redact independently of <code>logging.redactSensitive</code>. Carries forward #72319. Thanks @volcano303 and @BunsDev.</li>
-<li>Providers/Codex: pass agent and workspace directories into provider stream wrappers so Codex native <code>web_search</code> activation can evaluate the correct auth context, and smoke-test the built status-message runtime by resolving the emitted bundle name. Carries forward #67843; refs #65909. Thanks @neilofneils404.</li>
-<li>Cron/models: keep <code>payload.model</code> as a per-job primary that can use configured fallbacks, while still letting <code>payload.fallbacks: []</code> make cron runs strict and avoid hidden agent-primary retries. Refs #73023. Thanks @pavelyortho-cyber.</li>
-<li>Models/fallbacks: treat user-selected session models as exact choices, so <code>/model ollama/...</code> and model-picker switches fail visibly when the selected provider is unreachable instead of answering from an unrelated configured fallback. Fixes #73023. Thanks @pavelyortho-cyber.</li>
-<li>Codex harness: keep ChatGPT subscription app-server runs from inheriting <code>CODEX_API_KEY</code> or <code>OPENAI_API_KEY</code>, and fall back to <code>CODEX_API_KEY</code> / <code>OPENAI_API_KEY</code> app-server login only when no Codex account is available. Fixes #73057. Thanks @holgergruenhagen and @pashpashpash.</li>
-<li>CLI/model probes: fail local <code>infer model run</code> probes when the provider returns no text output, so unreachable local providers and empty completions no longer look like successful smoke tests. Refs #73023. Thanks @pavelyortho-cyber.</li>
-<li>CLI/Ollama: run local <code>infer model run</code> through the lean provider completion path and skip global model discovery for one-shot local probes, so Ollama smoke tests no longer pay full chat-agent/tool startup cost or hang before the native <code>/api/chat</code> request. Fixes #72851. Thanks @TotalRes2020.</li>
-<li>Doctor/gateway services: ignore launchd/systemd companion services that only reference the gateway as a dependency, suppress inactive Linux extra-service warnings, and avoid rewriting a running systemd gateway command/entrypoint during doctor repair. Carries forward #39118. Thanks @therk.</li>
-<li>Daemon/service: only emit hard-coded version-manager paths such as <code>~/.volta/bin</code>, <code>~/.asdf/shims</code>, <code>~/.bun/bin</code>, and fnm/pnpm fallbacks into gateway and node service PATHs when the directories exist, so <code>openclaw doctor</code> no longer flags <code>gateway.path.non-minimal</code> against a PATH the daemon just wrote. Env-driven roots and stable user-bin dirs remain unconditional. Fixes #71944; carries forward #71964. Thanks @Sanjays2402.</li>
-<li>CLI/startup: disable Node's module compile cache automatically for live source-checkout launchers so in-place <code>pnpm build</code> updates are visible to the next <code>openclaw</code> CLI invocation. Fixes #73037. Thanks @LouisGameDev.</li>
-<li>Agents/group chat: keep silent-allowed empty and reasoning-only turns on the <code>NO_REPLY</code> path without injecting visible-answer retry prompts, and clarify the group prompt so agents use the exact silent token instead of prose. Thanks @vincentkoc.</li>
-<li>Agents/group chat: move <code>NO_REPLY</code> mechanics into channel-aware direct/group prompts and suppress the duplicate generic silent-reply section for auto-reply runs, so always-on group agents get one consistent stay-silent instruction. Thanks @vincentkoc.</li>
-<li>Providers/OpenAI: preserve encrypted empty-summary Responses reasoning items in WebSocket replay and request <code>reasoning.encrypted_content</code> on reasoning turns so GPT-5.4/GPT-5.5 sessions do not lose required <code>rs_*</code> state beside <code>msg_*</code> items. Fixes #73053. Thanks @odb36777.</li>
-<li>Gateway/startup: treat <code>plugins.enabled=false</code> as an early plugin fast path, skipping plugin auto-enable discovery, gateway plugin lookup/runtime-dependency staging, and stale-plugin cleanup warnings while preserving channel blocker warnings. (#73041) Thanks @WuKongAI-CMU.</li>
-<li>Channels/commands: make generated <code>/dock-*</code> commands switch the active session reply route through <code>session.identityLinks</code> instead of falling through to normal chat. Fixes #69206; carries forward #73033. Thanks @clawbones and @michaelatamuk.</li>
-<li>Providers/Cloudflare AI Gateway: strip assistant prefill turns from Anthropic Messages payloads when thinking is enabled, so Claude requests through Cloudflare AI Gateway no longer fail Anthropic conversation-ending validation. Fixes #72905; carries forward #73005. Thanks @AaronFaby and @sahilsatralkar.</li>
-<li>Gateway/startup: keep primary-model startup prewarm on scoped metadata preparation, let native approval bootstraps retry outside channel startup, and skip the global hook runner when no <code>gateway_start</code> hook is registered, so clean post-ready sidecar work stays off the critical path. Refs #72846. Thanks @RayWoo, @livekm0309, and @mrz1836.</li>
-<li>Gateway/channels: start bundled channel accounts with a lightweight <code>runtimeContexts</code> surface instead of importing the full reply/routing/session channel runtime before <code>startAccount</code>, so Discord, Telegram, Slack, Matrix, and QQBot startup no longer block on unrelated channel helper graphs. Refs #72846 and #72960. Thanks @mrz1836, @RayWoo, and @rollingshmily.</li>
-<li>Gateway/supervisor: exit cleanly when a supervised restart finds an existing healthy gateway and bound retries when the existing gateway stays unhealthy, so stale lock contention cannot loop indefinitely. Refs #72846. Thanks @azgardtek.</li>
-<li>Gateway/startup: scope primary-model provider discovery during channel prewarm to the configured provider owner and add split startup trace timings, so boot avoids staging unrelated bundled provider dependencies while setup discovery remains broad. Fixes #73002. Thanks @Schnup03.</li>
-<li>Plugins/runtime deps: declare retained staged bundled plugin dependencies in the npm staging manifest while installing only newly missing packages, so Gateway restarts avoid reinstalling the full retained dependency set when one runtime dependency is absent. Fixes #73055. Thanks @GCorp2026.</li>
-<li>CLI/status: keep default <code>openclaw status</code> off the heavyweight security audit, plugin compatibility, and memory-vector probes while still showing configured Telegram channels through setup metadata, so routine health checks stay fast and no longer render an empty Channels table. Fixes #72993. Thanks @comick1.</li>
-<li>Channels/Telegram: send a best-effort native typing cue immediately after an inbound message is accepted, so slow pre-dispatch turns show Telegram liveness before queueing, compaction, model, or tool work starts. Fixes #63759. Thanks @alessandropcostabr.</li>
-<li>Channels/Telegram: stop native approval startup auth failures from retrying every second, while still waiting through retryable Gateway auth handoffs, so Telegram approval setup problems no longer create a reconnect/log loop during channel startup. Refs #72846 and #72867. Thanks @kiranvk-2011 and @porly1985.</li>
-<li>Channels/Microsoft Teams: unwrap staged CommonJS JWT runtime dependencies before Bot Connector token validation so inbound Teams messages no longer 401 after the bundled runtime-deps move. Fixes #73026. Thanks @kbrown10000.</li>
-<li>Gateway/auth: allow local direct callers in trusted-proxy mode to use the configured gateway password as an internal fallback while keeping token fallback rejected. Fixes #17761. Thanks @dashed, @vincentkoc, and @jetd1.</li>
-<li>Gateway/auth: add explicit <code>trustedProxy.allowLoopback</code> support for same-host loopback reverse proxies while keeping loopback trusted-proxy auth fail-closed by default and preserving required-header and allowlist checks. Fixes #59167; carries forward #63379. Thanks @Matir, @jeremyakers, and @mrosmarin.</li>
-<li>Channels/sessions: prevent guarded inbound session recording from creating route-only phantom sessions while still allowing last-route updates for sessions that already exist. Carries forward #73009. Thanks @jzakirov.</li>
-<li>Cron: accept <code>delivery.threadId</code> in Gateway cron add/update schemas so scheduled announce delivery can target Telegram forum topics and other threaded channel destinations through the documented delivery path. Fixes #73017. Thanks @coachsootz.</li>
-<li>Plugins/runtime deps: stage bundled plugin dependencies imported by mirrored root dist chunks, so packaged memory and status commands do not miss <code>chokidar</code> or similar root-chunk dependencies after update. Fixes #72882 and #72970; carries forward #72992. Thanks @shrimpy8, @colin-chang, and @Schnup03.</li>
-<li>Plugins/runtime deps: reuse unchanged bundled plugin runtime mirrors instead of rebuilding plugin trees on every load, cutting avoidable writes and restart/reconnect I/O on slow storage. Fixes #72933. Thanks @jasonftl.</li>
-<li>Agents/runtime context: deliver hidden runtime context through prompt-local system context while keeping the transcript-only custom entry out of provider user turns, and strip stale copied runtime-context prefaces from user-facing replies. Fixes #72386; carries forward #72969. Thanks @jhsmith409.</li>
-<li>Channels/Telegram: skip the optional webhook-info API call during polling-mode status checks and startup bot-label probes so long-polling setups avoid an unnecessary Telegram round trip. Carries forward #72990. Thanks @danielgruneberg.</li>
-<li>CLI/message: resolve targeted <code>openclaw message</code> channels to their owning plugin before loading the registry, and fall back to configured channel plugins when the channel must be inferred, so scripted sends avoid full bundled plugin registry scans without assuming channel ids match plugin ids. Fixes #73006. Thanks @jasonftl.</li>
-<li>Plugins/startup: parse strict JSON plugin manifests with native JSON first and keep JSON5 as the compatibility fallback, reducing manifest registry CPU during Gateway boot and CLI startup. Fixes #73011. Thanks @jasonftl.</li>
-<li>CLI/models: keep route-first <code>models status --json</code> stdout reserved for the JSON payload by routing auth-profile and startup diagnostics to stderr. Fixes #72962. Thanks @vishutdhar.</li>
-<li>Gateway/runtime: keep dirty-tree status calls from rebuilding live <code>dist</code>, clear stale task and restart state across in-process restarts, retry transient Discord lazy imports, and let channel startup continue after slow model warmup so browser, Discord, and voice-call sidecars come online. Thanks @vincentkoc.</li>
-<li>Security/CodeQL: replace file SecretRef id gateway schema regex validation with segment-aligned predicates and set empty permissions on release summary/backfill jobs so the narrowed CodeQL profile stays clean. Thanks @vincentkoc.</li>
-<li>Sessions: ignore future-dated session activity timestamps during reset freshness checks and cap future <code>updatedAt</code> values at the merge boundary so clock-skewed messages cannot keep stale sessions alive forever. Fixes #72989. Thanks @martingarramon.</li>
-<li>Sessions: apply search, activity filters, and limits before gateway row enrichment so bounded session lists avoid scanning discarded transcripts. Carries forward #72978. Thanks @yeager.</li>
-<li>Sessions: remove trajectory runtime and pointer sidecars when session maintenance prunes, caps, or disk-evicts their owning session, while preserving sidecars still referenced by live rows. Fixes #73000. Thanks @jared-rebel.</li>
-<li>Plugins/CLI: allow managed plugin installs when the active extensions root is a symlink to a real state directory, while keeping nested target symlinks blocked and suppressing misleading hook-pack fallback errors for install-boundary failures. Fixes #72946. Thanks @mayank6136.</li>
-<li>Providers/Ollama: mark discovered Ollama catalog models as supporting streaming usage metadata so token accounting stays enabled for local models. (#72976) Thanks @sdeyang.</li>
-<li>Media understanding: reject malformed MIME values with trailing junk while preserving standard parameter tails before enrichment uses them. (#72914) Thanks @volcano303.</li>
-<li>WebChat: keep bare <code>/new</code> and <code>/reset</code> prompts from producing empty transcript text by inserting the hidden session marker when the visible tail is blank. (#72863) Thanks @mahopan.</li>
-<li>CLI/update: explain completion-cache refresh timeouts with manual refresh guidance instead of surfacing a raw low-level timeout. Fixes #72842. (#72850) Thanks @iot2edge.</li>
-<li>Memory-core/dreaming: give narrative generation a 60-second timeout so slower local or remote models can finish instead of timing out at 15 seconds. Fixes #72837. (#72852) Thanks @RayWoo.</li>
-<li>Plugins/hooks: inject each plugin's resolved config into internal hook event context without mutating the shared event object. (#72888) Thanks @jalapeno777.</li>
-<li>Agents/ACP: pass the resolved ACP agent directory into media understanding so per-agent media caches and config are used for ACP-dispatched image turns. (#72832) Thanks @luyao618.</li>
-<li>Gateway/Bonjour: truncate mDNS service names and host labels to the 63-byte DNS label limit at valid UTF-8 boundaries. (#72809) Thanks @luyao618.</li>
-<li>Feishu: treat groups explicitly configured under channels.feishu.groups as admitted even when groupAllowFrom is empty, while preserving groupPolicy: "disabled" as a hard group block and keeping groups.\* wildcard defaults non-admitting. Fixes #67687. (#72789) Thanks @MoerAI.</li>
-<li>Gateway/startup: keep hot Gateway boot paths on leaf config imports and add max-RSS reporting to the gateway startup bench so low-memory startup regressions are visible before release. Thanks @vincentkoc.</li>
-<li>WebChat: read <code>chat.history</code> from active transcript branches, drop stale streamed assistant tails once final history catches up, and coalesce duplicate in-flight Control UI submits, so rewritten prompts, completed replies, and rapid send events no longer render or process twice. Fixes #72975, #72963, and #72974. Thanks @dmagdici, @lhtpluto, and @Benjamin5281999.</li>
-<li>WebChat/TTS: persist automatic final-mode TTS audio as a supplemental audio-only transcript update instead of adding a second assistant message with the same visible text. Fixes #72830. Thanks @lhtpluto.</li>
-<li>Agents/LSP: terminate bundled stdio LSP process trees during runtime disposal and Gateway shutdown, so nested children such as <code>tsserver</code> do not survive stop or restart. Fixes #72357. Thanks @ai-hpc and @bittoby.</li>
-<li>Diagnostics/OTEL: capture privacy-safe model-call request payload bytes, streamed response bytes, first-response latency, and total duration in diagnostic events, plugin hooks, stability snapshots, and OTEL model-call spans/metrics without logging raw model content. Fixes #33832. Thanks @wwh830.</li>
-<li>Logging: write validated diagnostic trace context as top-level <code>traceId</code>, <code>spanId</code>, <code>parentSpanId</code>, and <code>traceFlags</code> fields in file-log JSONL records so traced requests and model calls are easier to correlate in log processors. Refs #40353. Thanks @liangruochong44-ui.</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>Providers/Ollama: honor <code>/api/show</code> capabilities when registering local models so non-tool Ollama models no longer receive the agent tool surface, and keep native Ollama thinking opt-in instead of enabling it by default. Fixes #64710 and duplicate #65343. Thanks @yuan-b, @netherby, @xilopaint, and @Diyforfun2026.</li>
-<li>Control UI/Agents: remount the Overview model controls when switching agents so the primary-model picker cannot retain stale per-agent selection. Fixes #39392; carries forward #39401, notes the duplicate #39495 approach, and keeps #46275/#54724 broader stabilization out of scope. Thanks @daijunyi002, @SergioChan, @aworki, and @wsyjh8.</li>
-<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>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>Gateway/Bonjour: keep @homebridge/ciao cancellation handlers registered across advertiser restarts so late probing cancellations cannot crash Linux and other mDNS-churned gateways. Thanks @vincentkoc.</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>. Thanks @vincentkoc.</li>
-<li>Gateway/plugins: resolve <code>gateway_start</code> cron hooks from live Gateway runtime state before the legacy deps fallback, so memory-core dreaming cron reconciliation keeps working on installs where <code>deps.cron</code> is not populated during service startup. Fixes #72835. Thanks @RayWoo.</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. Thanks @vincentkoc.</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. Thanks @vincentkoc.</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. Thanks @vincentkoc.</li>
-<li>WebChat/Control UI: support non-video file attachments in chat uploads while preserving the existing image attachment path and MIME-sniff fallback for generic image uploads. (#70947) Thanks @IAMSamuelRodda.</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>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>Gateway/chat: preserve repeated boundary characters while merging assistant chat stream deltas, including repeated digits, CJK characters, and markdown/table tokens. Fixes #63769; carries forward #63994 and #65457. Thanks @yon950905 and @mohuaxiao.</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. Thanks @vincentkoc.</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>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>TTS/BlueBubbles: pre-transcode synthesized MP3 audio to opus-in-CAF (mono, 24 kHz — validated against macOS 15.x Messages.app's native voice-memo CAF descriptor) on macOS hosts before handing the file to BlueBubbles, so iMessage renders the result as a native voice-memo bubble with proper duration and waveform UI instead of a plain file attachment. Adds an opt-in <code>tts.voice.preferAudioFileFormat</code> channel capability and a magic-byte sniff for the CAF container so the host-local-media validator (which uses <code>file-type</code> and didn't recognize CAF natively) can verify the pre-transcoded buffer. Channels that don't opt in are unaffected. (#72586) Fixes #72506. Thanks @omarshahine.</li>
-<li>Feishu: retry WebSocket startup failures with monitor-owned backoff while preserving SDK-local heartbeat defaults, so persistent-connection startup failures no longer leave the monitor hung. Fixes #68766; related #42354 and #55532. Thanks @alex-xuweilong, @120106835, @sirfengyu, and @tianhaocui.</li>

-<h3>Changes</h3>
-<ul>
-<li>Channels/QQBot: add full group chat support (history tracking, @-mention gating, activation modes, per-group config, FIFO message queue with deliver debounce), C2C <code>stream_messages</code> streaming with a <code>StreamingController</code> lifecycle manager, unified <code>sendMedia</code> with chunked upload for large files, and refactor the engine into pipeline stages, focused outbound submodules, builtin slash-command modules, and explicit DI ports via <code>createEngineAdapters()</code>. (#70624) Thanks @cxyhhhhh.</li>
-<li>Channels/Yuanbao: register the Tencent Yuanbao external channel plugin (<code>openclaw-plugin-yuanbao</code>) in the official channel catalog, contract suites, and community plugin docs, with a new <code>docs/channels/yuanbao.md</code> quick-start guide for WebSocket bot DMs and group chats. (#72756) Thanks @loongfay.</li>
-<li>Control UI/Talk: add a generic browser realtime transport contract, Google Live browser Talk sessions with constrained ephemeral tokens, and a Gateway relay for backend-only realtime voice plugins. Thanks @VACInc.</li>
-<li>CLI/models: route provider-filtered model listing through an explicit source plan so user config, installed manifest rows, Provider Index previews, and scoped runtime fallbacks keep a stable authority order without adding another catalog cache. Thanks @shakkernerd.</li>
-<li>Providers: add Cerebras as a bundled plugin with onboarding, static model catalog, docs, and manifest-owned endpoint metadata.</li>
-<li>Memory/OpenAI-compatible: add optional <code>memorySearch.inputType</code>, <code>queryInputType</code>, and <code>documentInputType</code> config for asymmetric embedding endpoints, including direct query embeddings and provider batch indexing. Carries forward #63313 and #60727. Thanks @HOYALIM and @prospect1314521.</li>
-<li>Ollama/memory: add model-specific retrieval query prefixes for <code>nomic-embed-text</code>, <code>qwen3-embedding</code>, and <code>mxbai-embed-large</code> memory-search queries while leaving document batches unchanged. Carries forward #45013. Thanks @laolin5564.</li>
-<li>Plugins/providers: move pre-runtime model-id normalization, endpoint host metadata, OpenAI-compatible request-family hints, model-catalog aliases/suppressions, OpenAI stale Spark suppression, and reusable startup metadata snapshots into plugin manifests so core no longer carries bundled-provider routing tables or repeated manifest rebuilds. Thanks @shakkernerd.</li>
-<li>Plugins/config: deprecate direct plugin config load/write helpers in favor of passed runtime snapshots plus transactional mutation helpers with explicit restart follow-up policy, scanner guardrails, runtime warnings, and revision-based cache invalidation.</li>
-<li>Plugins/install: allow <code>OPENCLAW_PLUGIN_STAGE_DIR</code> to contain layered runtime-dependency roots, resolving read-only preinstalled deps before installing missing deps into the final writable root. Fixes #72396. Thanks @liorb-mountapps.</li>
-<li>Control UI: add a raw config pending-changes diff panel that parses JSON5, redacts sensitive values until reveal, and avoids fake raw-edit callbacks when opening the panel. Refs #39831; supersedes #48621 and #46654. Thanks @JiajunBernoulli and @BunsDev.</li>
-<li>Control UI: polish the quick settings dashboard grid so common cards align across desktop, tablet, and mobile layouts without wasting horizontal space. Thanks @BunsDev.</li>
-<li>Matrix/E2EE: add <code>openclaw matrix encryption setup</code> to enable Matrix encryption, bootstrap recovery, and print verification status from one setup flow. Thanks @gumadeiras.</li>
-<li>Agents/compaction: add an opt-in <code>agents.defaults.compaction.maxActiveTranscriptBytes</code> preflight trigger that runs normal local compaction when the active JSONL grows too large, requiring transcript rotation so successful compaction moves future turns onto a smaller successor file instead of raw byte-splitting history. Thanks @vincentkoc.</li>
-<li>CLI/migration: add <code>openclaw migrate</code> with plan, dry-run, JSON, pre-migration backup, onboarding detection, archive-only reports, a Claude Code/Desktop importer, and a Hermes importer for configuration, memory/plugin hints, model providers, MCP servers, skills, commands, and supported credentials. Thanks @vincentkoc and @NousResearch.</li>
-</ul>
-<h3>Fixes</h3>
-<ul>
-<li>Agents/LSP: terminate bundled stdio LSP process trees during runtime disposal and Gateway shutdown, so nested children such as <code>tsserver</code> do not survive stop or restart. Fixes #72357. Thanks @ai-hpc and @bittoby.</li>
-<li>Gateway/device tokens: stop echoing rotated bearer tokens from shared/admin <code>device.token.rotate</code> responses while preserving the same-device token handoff needed by token-only clients before reconnect. (#66773) Thanks @MoerAI.</li>
-<li>Control UI/Talk: keep Google Live browser sessions on the WebSocket transport instead of falling back to WebRTC, validate browser Google Live WebSocket endpoints, cap Gateway relay sessions per browser connection, and remove stale browser-native voice buttons that did not use the configured Talk/TTS provider. Thanks @BunsDev.</li>
-<li>Gateway/startup: reuse config snapshot plugin manifests for startup auto-enable, config validation, and plugin bootstrap planning, including authored source config and disabled setup-probe handling, so restrictive allowlists avoid duplicate manifest/config passes during boot. Thanks @shakkernerd.</li>
-<li>Agents/subagents: enforce <code>subagents.allowAgents</code> for explicit same-agent <code>sessions_spawn(agentId=...)</code> calls instead of auto-allowing requester self-targets. Fixes #72827. Thanks @oiGaDio.</li>
-<li>ACP/sessions_spawn: let explicit <code>sessions_spawn(runtime="acp")</code> bootstrap turns run while <code>acp.dispatch.enabled=false</code> still blocks automatic ACP thread dispatch. Fixes #63591. Thanks @moeedahmed.</li>
-<li>CLI/update: install npm global updates into a verified temporary prefix before swapping the package tree into place, preventing mixed old/new installs and stale packaged files from breaking <code>openclaw update</code> verification. Thanks @shakkernerd.</li>
-<li>Gateway: skip CLI startup self-respawn for foreground gateway runs so low-memory Linux/Node 24 hosts start through the same path as direct <code>dist/index.js</code> without hanging before logs. Fixes #72720. Thanks @sign-2025.</li>
-<li>Google Meet: route local Chrome joins through OpenClaw browser control, grant Meet media permissions, pin local Chrome audio defaults to <code>BlackHole 2ch</code>, and use the configured OpenClaw browser profile so joined agents no longer show <code>Permission needed</code> or use raw/default Chrome state. Thanks @DougButdorf and @oromeis.</li>
-<li>Plugins/discovery: follow symlinked plugin directories in global and workspace plugin roots while keeping broken links ignored and existing package safety checks in place. Fixes #36754; carries forward #72695 and #63206. Thanks @Quackstro, @ming1523, and @xsfX20.</li>
-<li>Plugins/install: skip test files and directories during install security scans while still force-scanning declared runtime entrypoints, so packaged test mocks no longer block plugin installs. Fixes #66840; carries forward #67050. Thanks @saurabhjain1592 and @Magicray1217.</li>
-<li>Plugins/install: allow exact package-manager peer links back to the trusted OpenClaw host package during install security scans while continuing to block spoofed or nested escaping <code>node_modules</code> symlinks. Carries forward #70819. Thanks @fgabelmannjr.</li>
-<li>Plugins/install: resolve plugin install destinations from the active profile state dir across CLI, ClawHub, marketplace, local path, and channel setup installs, so <code>openclaw --profile <name> plugins install ...</code> no longer writes into the default profile. Fixes #69960; carries forward #69971. Thanks @FrancisLyman and @Sanjays2402.</li>
-<li>Plugins/registry: suppress duplicate-plugin startup warnings when a tracked npm-installed plugin intentionally overrides the bundled plugin with the same id. Carries forward #48673. Thanks @abdushsk.</li>
-<li>Plugins/startup: reuse canonical realpath lookups throughout each plugin discovery pass, including package and manifest boundary checks, so Windows npm-global startups no longer repeat expensive path resolution for the same plugin roots. Fixes #65733. Thanks @welfo-beo.</li>
-<li>Gateway/proxy: pass <code>ALL_PROXY</code> / <code>all_proxy</code> into the global Undici env-proxy dispatcher and provider proxy-fetch helper while keeping SSRF trusted-proxy auto-upgrade on <code>HTTP_PROXY</code> / <code>HTTPS_PROXY</code> only, so gateway/provider calls honor all-proxy setups without weakening guarded fetches. Fixes #43821; carries forward #43919. Thanks @RickyTong1.</li>
-<li>Reply/link understanding: keep media and link preprocessing on stable runtime entrypoints and continue with raw message content if optional enrichment fails, so URL-bearing messages are no longer dropped after stale runtime chunk upgrades. Fixes #68466. Thanks @songshikang0111.</li>
-<li>Discord: persist routed model-picker overrides when the hidden <code>/model</code> dispatch succeeds but the bound thread session store is still stale, including LM Studio suffixed model ids. Carries forward #61473. Thanks @Nanako0129.</li>
-<li>Nodes/CLI: add <code>openclaw nodes remove --node <id|name|ip></code> and <code>node.pair.remove</code> so stale gateway-owned node pairing records can be cleaned without hand-editing state files.</li>
-<li>Gateway: include the connecting client and fresh presence version in the initial <code>hello-ok</code> snapshot, so clients no longer need a follow-up event before seeing themselves online.</li>
-<li>Docker: install the CA certificate bundle in the slim runtime image so HTTPS calls from containerized gateways no longer fail TLS setup after the <code>bookworm-slim</code> base switch. Fixes #72787. Thanks @ryuhaneul.</li>
-<li>Providers/OpenRouter: remove retired Hunter Alpha and Healer Alpha static catalog rows and disable proxy reasoning injection for stale Hunter Alpha configs, so replies are not hidden when OpenRouter returns answer text in reasoning fields. Fixes #43942. Thanks @EvanDataForge.</li>
-<li>Providers/reasoning: let Groq and LM Studio declare provider-native reasoning effort values, so Qwen thinking models receive <code>none</code>/<code>default</code> or <code>off</code>/<code>on</code> instead of OpenAI-only <code>low</code>/<code>medium</code> values. Fixes #32638. Thanks @Aqu1bp, @mgoulart, @Norpps, and @BSTail.</li>
-<li>Local models: default custom providers with only <code>baseUrl</code> to the Chat Completions adapter and trust loopback model requests automatically, so local OpenAI-compatible proxies receive <code>/v1/chat/completions</code> without timing out. Fixes #40024. Thanks @parachuteshe.</li>
-<li>Channels/message tool: surface Discord, Slack, and Mattermost <code>user:</code>/<code>channel:</code> target syntax in the shared message target schema and Discord ambiguity errors, so DM sends by numeric id stop burning retries before finding <code>user:<id></code>. Fixes #72401. Thanks @garyd9, @hclsys, and @praveen9354.</li>
-<li>Agents/tools: scope tool-loop detection history to the active run when available, so scheduled heartbeat cycles no longer inherit stale repeated-call counts from previous runs. Fixes #40144. Thanks @mattbrown319.</li>
-<li>Agents/subagents: preserve requester delivery for completion announces across different channel accounts, keep same-channel thread completions routed to the child thread, and fail closed instead of guessing a child binding when requester conversation signal is missing. Thanks @sfuminya and @suyua9.</li>
-<li>Agents/status: persist the post-compaction token estimate from auto-compaction when providers omit usage metadata, so <code>/status</code> and session lists keep showing fresh context usage after compaction. Fixes #67667; carries forward #72822. Thanks @Jimmy-xuzimo and @skylight-9.</li>
-<li>Control UI: show loading, reload, and retry states when a lazy dashboard panel cannot load after an upgrade, so the Logs tab no longer appears blank on stale browser bundles. Fixes #72450. Thanks @sobergou.</li>

Fixes #34574; supersedes #41502. Thanks @gucasbrg and @Zcg2021.</li>
-<li>Agents/fallback: classify internal live-session model switch conflicts as unknown fallback failures instead of provider overloads, preventing local vLLM endpoints from receiving misleading overloaded cooldowns. Refs #63229. Thanks @clawdia-lobster.</li>

-<li>MCP/bundle-mcp: normalize CLI-native <code>type: "http"</code> MCP server entries to OpenClaw <code>transport: "streamable-http"</code> on save, repair existing configs with doctor, and keep embedded Pi from falling back to legacy SSE GET-first startup for those servers. Fixes #72757. Thanks @Studioscale.</li>
-<li>OpenCode: expose Anthropic Opus/Sonnet 4.x thinking levels for proxied Claude models, so <code>/think xhigh</code>, <code>/think adaptive</code>, and <code>/think max</code> validate consistently with the direct Anthropic provider. Fixes #72729. Thanks @haishmg and @aaajiao.</li>
-<li>Media-understanding/audio: migrate deprecated <code>{input}</code> placeholders in legacy <code>audio.transcription.command</code> configs to <code>{{MediaPath}}</code>, so custom audio transcribers no longer receive the literal placeholder after doctor repair.

-<li>Ollama/WSL2: warn when GPU-backed WSL2 installs combine CUDA visibility with an autostarting <code>ollama.service</code> using <code>Restart=always</code>, and document the systemd, <code>.wslconfig</code>, and keep-alive mitigation for crash loops. Carries forward #61022; fixes #61185. Thanks @yhyatt.</li>
-<li>Ollama/onboarding: de-dupe suggested bare local models against installed <code>:latest</code> tags and skip redundant pulls, so setup shows the installed model once and no longer says it is downloading an already available model. Fixes #68952. Thanks @tleyden.</li>
-<li>Memory-core/doctor: keep <code>doctor.memory.status</code> on the cached path by default and only run live embedding pings for explicit deep probes, preventing slow local embedding backends from blocking Gateway status checks. Fixes #71568. Thanks @apex-system.</li>
-<li>Memory/QMD: group same-source collections into one QMD search invocation when the installed QMD supports multiple <code>-c</code> filters, while keeping older QMD builds on the per-collection fallback. Fixes #72484; supersedes #72485 and #69583. Thanks @BsnizND and @zeroaltitude.</li>
-<li>Memory/QMD: accept QMD status vector-count variants such as <code>Vectors = 42</code>, <code>Vectors:42</code>, and <code>Vectors: 42 embedded</code>, so <code>memory status --deep</code> no longer reports embeddings unavailable for healthy QMD wrappers. Fixes #63652; carries forward #63678. Thanks @apoapostolov and @WarrenJones.</li>
-<li>Memory/QMD: skip QMD vector status probes and embedding maintenance in lexical <code>searchMode: "search"</code>, so BM25-only QMD setups on ARM do not trigger llama.cpp/Vulkan builds during status checks or embed cycles.

-<li>Control UI/Gateway: preserve WebChat client version labels across localhost, 127.0.0.1, and IPv6 loopback aliases on the same port, avoiding misleading <code>vcontrol-ui</code> connection logs while investigating duplicate-message reports. Refs #72753 and #72742. Thanks @LumenFromTheFuture and @allesgutefy.</li>
-<li>Agents/reasoning: treat orphan closing reasoning tags with following answer text as a privacy boundary across delivery, history, streaming, and Control UI sanitizers so malformed local-model output cannot leak chain-of-thought text. Fixes #67092. Thanks @AnildoSilva.</li>
-<li>Memory-core: run one-shot memory CLI commands through transient builtin and QMD managers so <code>memory index</code>, <code>memory status --index</code>, and <code>memory search</code> no longer start long-lived file watchers that can hit macOS <code>EMFILE</code> limits. Fixes #59101; carries forward #49851. Thanks @mbear469210-coder and @maoyuanxue.</li>
-<li>Agents/ACP: ship the Claude ACP adapter with OpenClaw and require Claude result messages before idle can complete a prompt, preventing parent agents from waking early on long-running <code>sessions_spawn(runtime: "acp", agentId: "claude")</code> children. Fixes #72080. Thanks @siavash-saki and @iannwu.</li>
-<li>CLI/tasks: route <code>tasks --json</code>, <code>tasks list --json</code>, and <code>tasks audit --json</code> through a lean JSON path so read-only task inspection no longer loads unrelated plugin/runtime command graphs. Fixes #66238. Thanks @ChuckChambers.</li>
-<li>Memory-core: re-resolve the active runtime config whenever <code>memory_search</code> or <code>memory_get</code> executes, so provider changes made by <code>config.patch</code> stop leaving stale embedding backends behind in existing tool instances. Fixes #61098. Thanks @BradGroux and @Linux2010.</li>
-<li>WebChat: keep bare <code>/new</code> and <code>/reset</code> startup instructions out of visible chat history while preserving <code>/reset <note></code> as user-visible transcript text. Fixes #72369. Thanks @collynes and @haishmg.</li>
-<li>Tasks/memory: checkpoint and truncate SQLite WAL sidecars on a timer and before close for task, Task Flow, proxy capture, and builtin memory databases, bounding long-running gateway <code>*.sqlite-wal</code> growth. Fixes #72774. Thanks @dfpalhano.</li>

-<li>Channels/setup: treat bundled channel plugins as already bundled during <code>channels add</code> and onboarding, enabling them without writing redundant <code>plugins.load.paths</code> entries or path install records. Fixes #72740. Thanks @iCodePoet.</li>
-<li>WhatsApp: honor gateway <code>HTTPS_PROXY</code> / <code>HTTP_PROXY</code> env vars for QR-login WebSocket connections, while respecting <code>NO_PROXY</code>, so proxied networks no longer fall back to direct <code>mmg.whatsapp.net</code> connections that time out with 408. Fixes #72547; supersedes #72692. Thanks @mebusw and @SymbolStar.</li>
-<li>Bonjour: default mDNS advertisements to the system hostname when it is DNS-safe, avoiding <code>openclaw.local</code> probing conflicts and Gateway restart loops on hosts such as <code>Lobster</code> or <code>ubuntu</code>.

Fixes #71416. Thanks @amknight.</li>
-<li>Agents/tools: normalize <code>null</code> or missing tool-call arguments to <code>{}</code> for parameterless object schemas before Pi validation, so empty-argument tools run instead of failing argument validation. Fixes #72587. Thanks @amknight.</li>

-<li>Local models: warn when an assistant reply looks like a tool call but the provider emitted plain text instead of a structured tool invocation, making fake/non-executed tool calls visible in logs. Fixes #51332. Thanks @emilclaw.</li>
-<li>Local models: accept persisted non-secret local auth markers for private-LAN custom OpenAI-compatible providers, so LAN Ollama configs no longer fail with missing auth when <code>ollama-local</code> is saved as the key. Fixes #49736. Thanks @charles-zh.</li>
-<li>TUI/local models: treat visible gateway client labels such as <code>openclaw-tui</code> as the current requester session for session-aware tools, so Ollama tool calls no longer fail by resolving the UI label as a session id. Fixes #66391. Thanks @kickingzebra.</li>
-<li>Local models: route self-hosted OpenAI-compatible model discovery through the guarded fetch path pinned to the configured host, covering vLLM and SGLang setup without reopening local/LAN SSRF probes. Supersedes #46359. Thanks @cdxiaodong.</li>

-<li>Local models: pass configured provider request timeouts through OpenAI SDK transports and the model idle watchdog so long-running local or custom OpenAI-compatible streams use one timeout knob instead of hitting the SDK's 10-minute default or the 120s idle default. Fixes #63663. Thanks @aidiffuser.</li>
-<li>LM Studio: trust configured LM Studio loopback, LAN, and tailnet endpoints for guarded model requests by default, preserving explicit private-network opt-outs. Refs #60994. Thanks @tnowakow.</li>
-<li>Docker/setup: route Docker onboarding defaults for host-side LM Studio and Ollama through <code>host.docker.internal</code> and add the Linux host-gateway mapping to the bundled Compose file, so containerized gateways can reach local providers without using container loopback.

-<li>Plugins/startup/registry: reuse a Gateway <code>PluginLookUpTable</code> and one manifest registry pass across startup plugin IDs, plugin loading, deferred channel reloads, model pricing, read-only channel defaults, capability/provider/media resolution, manifest contracts, extractors, web fallback discovery, owner maps, and cold provider-discovery caches, with new startup-trace timing/count metrics for installed-index, manifest, startup-plan, and owner-map work. Thanks @shakkernerd and @mcaxtr.</li>
-<li>Mattermost: keep direct-message replies top-level by suppressing reply roots for DM delivery while preserving channel and group thread roots, and derive inbound chat kind from the trusted channel lookup instead of the websocket event channel type. Carries forward #60115, #55186, #72305, and #72659; refs #59758, #59981, #59791, and #57565. Thanks @vincentkoc, @jwchmodx, and @hnykda.</li>

-<li>Google Meet/Voice Call: clean stale chrome-node realtime bridges before rejoining, expose bridge inspection, tolerate transient node input pull failures, default Chrome command-pair audio to 24 kHz PCM16 while preserving legacy 8 kHz G.711 mu-law pairs, handle Gemini Live interruptions/VAD and function-response names correctly, route stateful <code>google_meet</code> tools through the gateway runtime, support <code>realtime.agentId</code>, and send non-blocking consult continuations before long tool-backed answers finish. Fixes #72371, #72525, #72523, #72440, and #72425; (#72372, #72524, #72381, #72441, #72189, #72426) Thanks @BsnizND and @VACInc.</li>
-<li>Discord/media: keep incidental Markdown image badges in final replies as text unless a channel opts into Markdown-image media extraction, while preserving Telegram Markdown-image media replies and explicit <code>MEDIA:</code> attachments. Fixes #72642. Thanks @solavrc and @Bartok9.</li>
-<li>Matrix/E2EE: stabilize recovery and broken-device QA flows while avoiding Matrix device-cleanup sync races that could leave shutdown-time crypto work running. Thanks @gumadeiras.</li>
-<li>Cron: apply <code>cron.maxConcurrentRuns</code> to the nested isolated-agent lane, start isolated execution timeouts only after the runner enters that lane, keep legacy flat <code>jobs.json</code> rows loadable, invalidate stale pending runtime slots after schedule edits, and preserve due slots for formatting-only rewrites. Fixes #72707, #27996, #71607, and #41783; carries forward #71651. Thanks @kagura-agent, @xialonglee, @fagnersouza666, @ayanesakura, and @Hurray0.</li>
-<li>Cron/delivery: classify isolated successes, quiet <code>NO_REPLY</code> turns, model/provider failures, execution denials, <code>--no-deliver</code> traces, skipped-job alerts, and verified delivery outcomes correctly so cron history, retries, and failure counters reflect what actually happened. Fixes #72732, #50170, #43604, #68452, #60846, #72210, and #67172; follow-up to #54188; carries forward #43631, #68453, #72219, and #67186. Thanks @zNatix, @pixeldyn, @ChickenEggRoll, @SPFAdvisors, @anyech, @slideshow-dingo, @hatemclawbot-collab, @xydigit-sj, @oc-gh-dr, @hclsys, and @1yihui.</li>
-<li>Cron/routing: preserve direct Telegram thread/account IDs, explicit Discord <code>user:</code>/<code>channel:</code> delivery targets, and <code>session:<id></code> failure-destination routing so reminders, cron announcements, and failure alerts keep the intended recipient kind across direct and group chats. Fixes #44270; refs #62777; carries forward #44325, #44351, #44412, #72657, #68535, and #62798. Thanks @RunMintOn, @arkyu2077, @0xsline, @vincentkoc, @slideshow-dingo, @likewen-tech, and @neeravmakwana.</li>
-<li>Subagents: keep the delegated task only in the subagent system prompt and send a short initial kickoff message, avoiding duplicate task tokens while preserving multiline task formatting. Fixes #72019; carries forward #72053. Thanks @Wizongod and @ly85206559.</li>
-<li>Onboarding/GitHub Copilot: add manifest-owned <code>--github-copilot-token</code> support for non-interactive setup, including env fallback, tokenRef storage in ref mode, saved-profile reuse, and current Copilot default-model wiring. Refs #50002 and supersedes #50003. Thanks @scottgl9.</li>
-<li>Gateway/install: add a validated <code>--wrapper</code>/<code>OPENCLAW_WRAPPER</code> service install path that persists executable LaunchAgent/systemd wrappers across forced reinstalls, updates, and doctor repairs instead of falling back to raw node/bun <code>ProgramArguments</code>. Fixes #69400. (#72445) Thanks @willtmc.</li>
-<li>Plugins: fail plugin registration when loader-owned acceptance gates reject missing hook names or memory-only capability registration from non-memory plugins, surfacing the issue through plugin status and doctor instead of silently dropping the registration. Fixes #72459. Thanks @amknight.</li>
-<li>macOS Gateway: write launchd services with a state-dir <code>WorkingDirectory</code>, use a durable state-dir temp path instead of freezing macOS session <code>TMPDIR</code>, create that temp directory before bootstrap, and label abort-shaped launchd exits as <code>SIGABRT/abort</code> in status output. Fixes #53679 and #70223; refs #71848. Thanks @dlturock, @stammi922, and @palladius.</li>
-<li>Control UI/update: make <code>Update now</code> require a real gateway process replacement, report skipped/error update outcomes with stable reasons, and verify the running gateway version after restart so global installs cannot silently keep old code in memory. Fixes #62492; addresses #64892 and #63562. Thanks @IAMSamuelRodda.</li>
-<li>Exec approvals: accept runtime-owned <code>source: "allow-always"</code> and <code>commandText</code> allowlist metadata in gateway and node approval-set payloads so Control UI round-trips no longer fail with <code>unexpected property 'source'</code>. Fixes #60000; carries forward #60064. Thanks @sd1471123, @sharkqwy, and @luoyanglang.</li>
-<li>Exec/node: skip approval-plan preparation for full-trust <code>host=node</code> runs so interpreter and script commands no longer fail with <code>SYSTEM_RUN_DENIED: approval cannot safely bind</code> when effective policy is <code>security=full</code> and <code>ask=off</code>. Fixes #48457 and duplicate #69251. Thanks @ajtran303, @jaserNo1, @Blakeshannon, @lesliefag, and @AvIsBeastMC.</li>
-<li>Exec/node: synthesize a local approval plan when a paired node advertises <code>system.run</code> without <code>system.run.prepare</code>, unblocking approval-required <code>host=node</code> exec on current macOS companion nodes while preserving remote prepare for node hosts that support it. Fixes #37591 and duplicate #66839; carries forward #69725. Thanks @soloclz.</li>
-<li>Memory/QMD: prefer QMD's <code>--mask</code> collection pattern flag so root memory indexing stays scoped to <code>MEMORY.md</code> instead of widening to every markdown file in the workspace. Fixes #65480; supersedes #65481 and #66259. Thanks @ccage-simp, @Bortlesboat, @seank-com, and @crazyscience.</li>
-<li>Memory/doctor: treat the specific <code>gateway timeout after ...</code> gateway memory probe result as inconclusive instead of reporting embeddings not ready, while preserving warnings for explicit failures. Fixes #44426; carries forward #46576 with the Greptile review feedback applied. Thanks Cengiz (@ghost).</li>
-<li>Gateway/startup: defer QMD, core request handlers, setup wizard, CLI outbound senders, plugin HTTP routes, chat/session projection, node session runtime validation, embedded-run activity reads, MCP loopback server imports, channel runtime helpers, HTTP/canvas/plugin auth helpers, isolated cron imports, and hook dispatch parsing until their request or shutdown paths, while making plain <code>gateway status</code> use a parse-only config snapshot so no-plugin boots and status reads avoid broad runtime fanout. Thanks @vincentkoc.</li>
-<li>Lobster/Gateway: memoize repeated Ajv schema compilation before loading the embedded Lobster runtime so scheduled workflows and <code>llm.invoke</code> loops stop growing gateway heap on content-identical schemas. Fixes #71148. Thanks @cmi525, @vsolaz, and @vincentkoc.</li>
-<li>Codex harness: normalize cached input tokens before session/context accounting so prompt cache reads are not double-counted in <code>/status</code>, <code>session_status</code>, or persisted <code>sessionEntry.totalTokens</code>. Fixes #69298. Thanks @richardmqq.</li>
-<li>Hooks/session-memory: use the host local timezone for memory filenames, fallback timestamp slugs, and markdown headers instead of UTC dates. Fixes #46703. (#46721) Thanks @Astro-Han.</li>
-<li>Gateway health: preserve live runtime-backed channel/account state in <code>gateway.health</code> snapshots and cached refreshes while keeping raw probe payloads on sensitive/admin paths only. (#39921, #42586, #46527, #52770, #42543) Thanks @FAL1989, @rstar327, @0xble, and @ajayr.</li>
-<li>Feishu: extract quoted/replied interactive-card text across schema 1.0, schema 2.0, i18n, template-variable, and post-format fallback shapes without carrying broad generated/config churn from related parser experiments. (#38776, #60383, #42218, #45936) Thanks @lishuaigit, @lskun, @just2gooo, and @Br1an67.</li>
-<li>Telegram/agents: hide raw failed write/edit warning messages in Telegram when the assistant already explicitly acknowledges the failed action, while keeping warnings when the reply claims success or omits the failure; #39406 remains the broader configurable delivery-policy follow-up. Fixes #51065; covers #39631. Thanks @Bartok9 and @Bortlesboat.</li>
-<li>Exec approvals: accept a symlinked <code>OPENCLAW_HOME</code> as the trusted approvals root while still rejecting symlinked <code>.openclaw</code> path components below it. (#64663) Thanks @FunJim.</li>
-<li>Logging: add top-level <code>hostname</code>, flattened <code>message</code>, and available <code>agent_id</code>, <code>session_id</code>, and <code>channel</code> fields to file-log JSONL records for multi-agent filtering without removing existing structured log arguments. Fixes #51075. Thanks @stevengonsalvez.</li>
-<li>ACP: route server logs to stderr before Gateway config/bootstrap work so ACP stdout remains JSON-RPC only for IDE integrations. Fixes #49060. Thanks @Hollychou924.</li>
-<li>Logging: propagate internal request trace scopes through Gateway HTTP requests and WebSocket frames so file logs, diagnostic events, agent run traces, model-call traces, OTEL spans, and trusted provider <code>traceparent</code> headers share a correlatable <code>traceId</code> without logging raw request or model content. Fixes #40353. Thanks @liangruochong44-ui.</li>
-<li>Diagnostics/OTEL: capture privacy-safe model-call request payload bytes, streamed response bytes, first-response latency, and total duration in diagnostic events, plugin hooks, stability snapshots, and OTEL model-call spans/metrics without logging raw model content. Fixes #33832. Thanks @wwh830.</li>
-<li>Logging: write validated diagnostic trace context as top-level <code>traceId</code>, <code>spanId</code>, <code>parentSpanId</code>, and <code>traceFlags</code> fields in file-log JSONL records so traced requests and model calls are easier to correlate in log processors. Refs #40353. Thanks @liangruochong44-ui.</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/sessions: let <code>sessions_spawn runtime="subagent"</code> ignore ACP-only <code>streamTo</code> and <code>resumeSessionId</code> fields while keeping ACP passthrough and documenting <code>streamTo</code> as ACP-only. Fixes #43556 and #63120; covers #56326, #61724, #64714, and #67248; carries forward #68397, #65282, #58686, #56342, and #40102. Thanks @skernelx, @damselem, @Br1an67, @Mintalix, @IsaacAPerez, @vvitovec, @Sanjays2402, @shenkq97, and @1034378361.</li>
-<li>Providers/Ollama: honor <code>/api/show</code> capabilities, custom Modelfile <code>PARAMETER num_ctx</code>, configured provider/model context defaults, whitelisted native params such as <code>temperature</code>, <code>top_p</code>, and <code>think</code>, and native thinking effort levels so local models get accurate tools, context, and thinking behavior without forcing full-context VRAM use. Fixes #64710, duplicate #65343, #68344, #44550, #52206, #49684, #68662, #48010, #71584, and #44786; supersedes #69464; carries forward #44955. Thanks @yuan-b, @netherby, @xilopaint, @Diyforfun2026, @neeravmakwana, @taitruong, @armi0024, @LokiCode404, @zhouZcong, @dshenster-byte, @tangzhi, @pandego, @maweibin, @Adam-Researchh, @EmpireCreator, @g0st1n, and @voltwake.</li>
-<li>Image tool/media: honor <code>tools.media.image.timeoutSeconds</code> and matching per-model image timeouts in explicit image analysis, including the MiniMax VLM fallback path, so slow local vision models are not capped by hardcoded 30s/60s aborts. Fixes #67889; supersedes #67929. Thanks @AllenT22 and @alchip.</li>
-<li>Providers/Ollama: strip custom provider prefixes before native chat/embedding requests, skip ambient localhost discovery unless config/auth opts in, handle custom remote <code>api: "ollama"</code> providers, accept OpenAI SDK-style <code>baseURL</code>, scope synthetic local auth and embedding bearer headers to declared host boundaries, resolve custom-named local providers for subagents, add provider-scoped model request timeouts, preserve explicit input modalities, and document <code>params.keep_alive</code> plus local/LAN/cloud/multi-host/web-search/embedding/thinking setup recipes. Fixes #72353, #56939, #62533, #43945, #64541, #68796, and #39690; supersedes #57116, #62549, #69261, #69857, #65143, and #66511; refs #43945; carries forward #43224 and #39785.

-<li>Providers/Ollama: move memory embeddings to <code>/api/embed</code> with batched <code>input</code>, route local web search through Ollama's signed daemon proxy while keeping cloud auth scoped, treat Ollama memory embeddings as key-optional in doctor, and keep model usage visible by estimating native transcript usage when <code>/api/chat</code> omits counters. Fixes #39983, #69132, and #46584; carries forward #39112. Thanks @sskkcc, @LiudengZhang, @yoon1012, @hyspacex, @fengly78, and @TylonHH.</li>
-<li>Agents/Ollama: parse stringified native tool-call arguments, retry native empty/thinking-only turns, accept already-prefixed LLM task model overrides, apply provider-owned replay normalization for Cloud models, validate explicit <code>--thinking max</code>, show resolved thinking defaults in Control UI, and include configured provider models in <code>models list --provider</code>. Fixes #69735, #50052, #71697, #71584, #72407, and #65207; supersedes #69910; carries forward #66552 and #61223. Thanks @rongshuzhao, @yfge, @L3G, @ralphy-maplebots, @Hollychou924, @ismael-81, @g0st1n, @NotecAG, and @drzeast-png.</li>
-<li>Providers/PDF/Ollama: add bounded network timeouts for Ollama model pulls and native Anthropic/Gemini PDF analysis requests so unresponsive provider endpoints no longer hang sessions indefinitely. Fixes #54142; supersedes #54144 and #54145. Thanks @jinduwang1001-max and @arkyu2077.</li>
-<li>Docker/QA: add observability coverage to the normal Docker aggregate so QA-lab OTEL and Prometheus diagnostics run inside Docker. Thanks @vincentkoc.</li>
-<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>Agents/model fallback: keep auto-persisted fallback model overrides selected across turns until <code>/new</code> or reset clears them, avoiding repeated probes of a known-bad primary while <code>/status</code> shows the selected and active models. Thanks @kibedu.</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>Gateway/Bonjour: keep @homebridge/ciao cancellation handlers registered across advertiser restarts so late probing cancellations cannot crash Linux and other mDNS-churned gateways.</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/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/CLI: inventory doctor-side deprecation migrations separately from runtime plugin compatibility, add dated records for legacy extension-api, memory registration, provider hook/type aliases, runtime aliases, channel SDK helpers, and approval/test utility shims, refresh the persisted registry after managed plugin removals, make plugin install/uninstall writes conflict-aware, clear stale denylists, and fail tracked plugin/hook updates or unloadable package installs instead of leaving stale state. Thanks @vincentkoc.</li>
-<li>WebChat/Control UI: support non-video file attachments in chat uploads while preserving the existing image attachment path and MIME-sniff fallback for generic image uploads. (#70947) Thanks @IAMSamuelRodda.</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>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>Gateway/session rows: report the same config-resolved thinking default that runtime sessions use, including global and per-agent defaults, so Control UI and TUI default labels stay aligned. (#71779, #70981, #71033, #70302) Thanks @chen-zhang-cs-code, @SymbolStar, and @cholaolu-boop.</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>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>Cron/context engine: run isolated cron jobs under run-scoped context-engine session keys so prior runs of the same job are not inherited unless the job is explicitly session-bound. (#72292) Thanks @jalehman.</li>
-<li>Control UI: localize command palette labels, categories, skill shortcuts, footer hints, and connect-command copy labels while preserving localized command palette search matching. (#61130, #61119) Thanks @rubensfox20.</li>
-<li>Plugins/memory-lancedb: request float embedding responses from OpenAI-compatible servers so local providers that default SDK requests to base64 no longer return dimension-mismatched LanceDB vectors while preserving configured dimensions. Fixes #45982. (#59048, #46069, #45986) Thanks @deep-introspection, @xiaokhkh, @caicongyang, and @thiswind.</li>
-<li>Plugins/memory-lancedb: advance auto-capture cursors per session only after messages are processed or intentionally skipped, retry failed messages, survive compacted histories, and clear cursor state on session end. Fixes #71349; carries forward #42083. Thanks @as775116191.</li>
-<li>Plugins/memory-core: respect configured memory-search embedding concurrency during non-batch indexing so local Ollama embedding backends can serialize indexing instead of flooding the server. Fixes #66822. (#66931) Thanks @oliviareid-svg and @LyraInTheFlesh.</li>
-<li>Docker/update smoke: keep the package-derived update-channel fixture on package-shipped files and make its UI build stub create the asset the updater verifies. Thanks @vincentkoc.</li>
-<li>Gateway/models: repair legacy <code>models.providers.*.api = "openai"</code> config values to <code>openai-completions</code>, and skip providers with future stale API enum values during startup instead of bricking the gateway. Fixes #72477. (#72542) Thanks @JooyoungChoi14 and @obviyus.</li>
-<li>Gateway/skills: redact <code>apiKey</code> and secret-named <code>env</code> values from the <code>skills.update</code> RPC response to prevent leaking credentials into WebSocket traffic, client logs, or session transcripts. Config is still written to disk in full; only the response payload is redacted. (#69998) Thanks @Ziy1-Tan.</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>Onboarding/setup: keep first-run config reads, plugin compatibility notices, OpenAI Codex auth, post-auth default-model policy lookup, skip-auth, provider-scoped model pickers, and post-model sanity checks on cold manifest/setup metadata unless the user chooses to browse all models, avoiding full plugin/provider runtime loads between prompts. 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>Telegram: send a fresh final message for long-lived preview-streamed replies so the visible Telegram timestamp reflects completion time instead of the preview creation time. Thanks @rubencu.</li>
