-description: "Add a redacted agent transcript section to GitHub PR or issue bodies during OpenClaw agent-created PR/issue workflows."
----
-
-# Agent Transcript
-
-Best-effort local-only provenance for OpenClaw PR/issue bodies. Use during agent-created GitHub PR or issue workflows before creating/updating the body.
-
-## Contract
-
-- Never use network. Session discovery reads local agent logs only.
-- Never upload raw logs. Render sanitized Markdown first.
-- Always ask the user before adding transcript logs to a GitHub PR/issue body.
-- Tell the user sanitized session logs help reviewers and can make PRs easier to prioritize.
-- Offer a local HTML preview before insertion. If the user wants preview, open it and wait for confirmation before adding the section.
-- Fail closed on unresolved secrets, private keys, browser/session/cookie details, or auth URLs.
-- Drop system/developer prompts, raw tool outputs, reasoning, env, cookies, tokens, and broad local paths.
-- Keep user prompts, assistant visible decisions, terse tool summaries, and test/proof outcomes.
-- Remove session turns unrelated to the PR/issue work. Use the PR/issue title, branch name, changed files, and stated goal as scope; omit earlier/later unrelated tasks even when they are in the same session log.
-- Best effort only: PR/issue creation must continue if no safe transcript is found.
-- Add the `## Agent Transcript` section only when inserting a real transcript. Never add a placeholder transcript heading or text such as "A sanitized local transcript preview was generated but not included."
-- Use a collapsed `<details>` section and update existing markers instead of duplicating sections.
-
-## Helper
-
-```bash
-.agents/skills/agent-transcript/scripts/agent-transcript --help
-```
-
-Find a likely local session:
-
-```bash
-.agents/skills/agent-transcript/scripts/agent-transcript find \
-  --query "$PR_TITLE $BRANCH_OR_PR_URL" \
-  --cwd "$PWD" \
-  --since-days 14
-```
-
-`find` scans the newest 400 matching local JSONL logs by default across Codex, Claude, Pi, and OpenClaw agent sessions. Use `--max-files N` for a wider local search.
-
-Render a PR/issue body section:
-
-```bash
-.agents/skills/agent-transcript/scripts/agent-transcript render \
-  --session "$SESSION_JSONL" \
-  --out /tmp/agent-transcript.md
-```
-
-Preview one candidate session locally:
-
-```bash
-.agents/skills/agent-transcript/scripts/agent-transcript preview \
-  --session "$SESSION_JSONL" \
-  --out /tmp/agent-transcript-preview.html
-open /tmp/agent-transcript-preview.html
-```
-
-Append/update a body file before `gh pr create --body-file` or connector PR creation:
-
-```bash
-.agents/skills/agent-transcript/scripts/agent-transcript append-body \
-  --body /tmp/pr-body.md \
-  --session "$SESSION_JSONL" \
-  --out /tmp/pr-body.with-transcript.md
-```
-
-## PR/Issue Workflow
-
-1. Draft the normal PR/issue body first.
-2. Run `find` with title, branch, PR URL/number if known, and cwd.
-3. If a high-confidence session is found, ask:
-   `Include a redacted agent transcript? It helps reviewers and can make the PR easier to prioritize. I can open a local preview first.`
-4. If the user wants preview, run `preview`, open the HTML with `open`, and wait for confirmation.
-5. Before insertion, trim unrelated session turns from the generated section. Keep only turns that explain this PR/issue's goal, implementation choices, files, tests, proof, blockers, and final outcome.
-6. If the user approves, run `append-body`.
-7. Use the enriched body file for creation/update.
-8. If no safe session is found, say nothing and continue without transcript. If the user declines, continue without transcript and do not add any transcript placeholder section.
-
-## Review Artifacts
-
-For manual audits across many PR/session candidates, create a local HTML preview from a local JSON file. This is for maintainers only and is not part of the PR/issue workflow:
-
-```bash
-.agents/skills/agent-transcript/scripts/agent-transcript html \
-  --prs /tmp/recent-prs.json \
-  --out /tmp/agent-transcript-preview.html
-```

 - Read dependency docs/source/types when the finding depends on external behavior.
 - Reject unrealistic edge cases, speculative risks, broad rewrites, and fixes that over-complicate the codebase.
 - Prefer small fixes at the right ownership boundary; no refactor unless it clearly improves the bug class.
-- When an accepted finding shows a bug class or repeated pattern, inspect the current PR scope for sibling instances before fixing.
-- Fix the scoped bug class at once when practical; stop at touched surfaces, owner boundaries, and clear follow-up territory.
 - Keep going until structured review returns no accepted/actionable findings.
 - If a review-triggered fix changes code, rerun focused tests and rerun the structured review helper.
 - For security-audit suppression changes, verify accepted findings remain auditable: suppressed findings stay in structured output, active output keeps an unsuppressible suppression notice, and aggregate findings cannot hide unrelated active risk.
 - Never switch or override the requested review engine/model. If the review hits model capacity, retry the same command a few times with the same engine/model.
-- Be patient with large bundles. Structured review can take up to 30 minutes while the model call is active, especially with Codex tools or web search.
-- Treat heartbeat lines like `review still running: ... elapsed=... pid=...` as healthy progress, not a hang. Let the helper continue while heartbeats are advancing. Pass `--stream-engine-output` when live engine text is useful; Codex and Claude filter tool/file chatter, other engines pass raw output through.
-- Do not kill a review just because it has been quiet for 2-5 minutes, or because it is still running under the 30-minute window. Inspect the process only after missing multiple expected heartbeats, after 30 minutes, or after an obviously failed subprocess; prefer letting the same helper command finish.

+- Do not kill a review just because it has been quiet for 2-5 minutes. Inspect the process only after multiple heartbeat intervals or an obviously failed subprocess; prefer letting the same helper command finish.
 - Tools are useful in review mode. The helper allows read-only inspection tools and web search by default so reviewers can check dependency contracts, upstream docs, and current behavior.
 - Security perspective is always included, but it should not cripple legitimate functionality. Report security findings only when the change creates a concrete, actionable risk or removes an important safety check.
-- For regression provenance, if no blamed PR is traceable, use the blamed commit as the provenance: commit SHA, date, and author username. Do not guess a merger or frame missing PR metadata as a separate finding.
 - Do not invoke built-in `codex review`, nested reviewers, or reviewer panels from inside the review. The helper builds one bundle, calls one selected engine, validates one structured result, and stops.
 - Stop as soon as the helper exits 0 with no accepted/actionable findings. Do not run an extra review just to get a nicer "clean" line, a second opinion, or clearer closeout wording.
 - Treat the helper's successful exit plus absence of actionable findings as the clean review result, even if the underlying Codex CLI output is terse.

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

-# OpenClaw Changelog Update
-
-Use this for release changelog rewrites and GitHub release-note source text.
-This is mandatory before every beta, beta rerun, stable release, or stable
-rerun. Use it with `release-openclaw-maintainer`; this skill owns changelog
-content, ordering, grouping, and attribution discipline.
-
-## Goal
-
-Rewrite the target `CHANGELOG.md` version section from history, not from stale
-draft notes. Produce grouped user-facing release notes sorted by user interest
-while preserving every relevant issue/PR ref and every human `Thanks @...`
-attribution.
-
-## Inputs
-
-- Target base version: `YYYY.M.D`, without beta suffix.
-- Base tag: last reachable shipped release tag, usually the previous stable or
-  the previous beta train requested by the operator.
-- Target ref: exact branch/SHA being released.
-
-## Workflow
-
-1. Start on `main` before branching when possible:
-   - `git fetch --tags origin`
-   - `git pull --ff-only`
-   - confirm clean `git status -sb`
-2. Audit history, including direct commits:
-   - `git log --first-parent --date=iso-strict --pretty=format:'%h%x09%ad%x09%s' <base-tag>..<target-ref>`
-   - `git log --first-parent --grep='(#' --date=short --pretty=format:'%h%x09%ad%x09%s' <base-tag>..<target-ref>`
-   - also inspect `--since='24 hours ago'` when main moved during the release.
-3. Read linked PRs/issues or diffs for ambiguous commits. Direct commits matter;
-   infer notes from subject, body, touched files, tests, and nearby commits.
-4. Rewrite one stable-base section only:
-   - use `## YYYY.M.D`
-   - do not create beta-specific headings
-   - do not leave a stale `## Unreleased` section above the target release
-   - if `Unreleased` contains release-bound notes, fold them into the target
-     section instead of deleting them
-5. Section shape:
-   - `### Highlights`: 5-8 bullets, broad user wins first
-   - `### Changes`: new capabilities and behavior changes
-   - `### Fixes`: user-facing fixes first, grouped by impact and surface
-   - group related changes/fixes by surface and user impact; avoid one bullet
-     per tiny commit when several commits tell one user-facing story
-6. Preserve attribution:
-   - keep `#issue`, `(#PR)`, `Fixes #...`, and `Thanks @...`
-   - every human-authored merged PR represented by a user-facing entry needs
-     its PR ref and `Thanks @author`, even when the PR had no linked issue
-   - every human issue reporter for a `Fixes #...` or referenced bug issue
-     represented by a user-facing entry needs `Thanks @reporter` unless the
-     same handle is already thanked in that bullet
-   - every human `Co-authored-by` contributor on represented user-facing work
-     needs `Thanks @handle` when a GitHub handle is known
-   - when grouping multiple PRs/issues in one bullet, include every relevant
-     PR/issue ref and every human contributor handle in that same bullet
-   - multiple `Thanks @...` handles in one bullet are expected; do not drop or
-     collapse contributor credit just because the note is grouped
-   - if one grouped bullet covers both direct commits and PRs, keep all PR refs
-     and thanks, plus any issue refs from the direct commits
-   - before finalizing, audit the final release-note body:
-     - extract all `#NNN` refs from the notes
-     - resolve which refs are PRs and collect human PR authors
-     - resolve issue refs used as bug/report refs and collect human reporters
-     - scan represented commits for `Co-authored-by`
-     - compare those handles to the final `Thanks @...` set
-     - fix every missing human credit or explicitly record why it is omitted
-   - do not add GHSA references, advisory IDs, or security advisory slugs to
-     changelog entries or GitHub release-note text unless explicitly requested
-   - never thank bots, `@openclaw`, `@clawsweeper`, or `@steipete`
-   - do not use GitHub's release contributor count as the source of truth; the
-     changelog must carry the complete human credit set itself
-7. Sorting preference:
-   - security/data-loss and content-boundary fixes
-   - transcript/replay/reply delivery correctness
-   - channels and mobile integrations
-   - providers/Codex/local model reliability
-   - install/update/release path reliability
-   - performance and observability
-   - docs and contributor-only/internal details last or omitted
-8. Keep bullets single-line unless existing file style forces otherwise. Avoid
-   internal release-process noise unless it changes user install/update safety.
-9. Check release-note side conditions:
-   - inspect `src/plugins/compat/registry.ts`
-   - inspect `src/commands/doctor/shared/deprecation-compat.ts`
-   - if any compatibility `removeAfter` is on/before release date, resolve it
-     or explicitly record the blocker before shipping
-10. Validate and ship:
-   - `git diff --check`
-   - for docs/changelog-only changes, no broad tests are required
-   - commit with `scripts/committer "docs(changelog): refresh YYYY.M.D notes" CHANGELOG.md`
-   - push, pull/rebase if needed, then branch/rebase release from latest `main`
-
-## Quota / API Outage Rule
-
-If GitHub API quota is exhausted, do not idle. Continue work that does not need
-GitHub API:
-
-- local changelog rewrite and release-note extraction
-- local pretag checks and package/build sanity
-- git push/tag checks over git protocol
-- npm registry `npm view` checks
-- exact workflow-dispatch command preparation
-
-Only GitHub Release creation, workflow dispatch, run polling, artifact download,
-and issue/PR mutation need API quota.

 - Start every PR review with 1-3 plain sentences explaining what the change does and why it matters. Put this before `Findings`.
 - Then list findings first. If none, say `No blocking findings` or `No findings`.
-- Show size near the top as `LOC: +<additions>/-<deletions> (<changedFiles> files)`, using live PR stats or local diff stats.
 - Always answer: bug/behavior being fixed, PR/issue URL and affected surface, provenance for regressions when traceable, and best-fix verdict.
 - For bug/regression fixes, include a compact `Provenance:` line after cause/root-cause when a bounded history pass can identify it. Use `git log -S/-G`, `git blame`, linked PRs/issues, and tests.
-- Provenance must separate roles when they differ: blamed code author username, blamed PR author username, blamed PR merger/committer username, automerge trigger when known, current PR author username, PR number, and date. Do not collapse them into one "introduced by" actor.
-- If the blamed PR was merged by `clawsweeper[bot]` or another automation, identify the human trigger when practical.

Look for maintainer command comments such as `@clawsweeper automerge`, `/landpr`, labels/events that armed automerge, and ClawSweeper status comments.

+- Provenance must separate roles when they differ: blamed code author username, blamed PR merger/committer username, current PR author username, PR number, and date. Do not collapse them into one "introduced by" actor.
 - For any confirmed bug, run `git blame` on the implicated line(s) after identifying the root cause. Report who broke it as the blamed PR merger/committer, and also name the blamed code author. Include the PR number. If no PR is traceable, use the blamed commit as the provenance: commit SHA, date, and author username. Do not guess a merger or frame missing PR metadata as a separate finding.
 - Phrase provenance as `introduced by`, `made visible by`, or `carried forward by`, with confidence (`clear`, `likely`, `unknown`). If unclear, say what evidence is missing instead of guessing. For features, docs, and refactors, use `Provenance: N/A` or omit it when no broken behavior is being fixed.
 - Keep summaries compact, but include enough proof that the verdict is auditable without rereading the PR.
 
-LOC proof:
-
-```bash
-gh pr view <number> --json additions,deletions,changedFiles \
-  --jq '"LOC: +\(.additions)/-\(.deletions) (\(.changedFiles) files)"'
-```
-
 ## Read beyond the diff
 
 - Review the surrounding code path, not just changed lines. Open the caller, callee, data contracts, adjacent tests, and owner module.
-- Before any verdict, read enough code to fill this map: changed surface, runtime entry point, owner boundary, one caller, one callee, sibling implementations sharing the invariant, adjacent tests, current `main` behavior, and shipped/dependency/Codex contracts when relevant.
 - For large-codebase PRs, sample enough related files to understand the runtime boundary before deciding. Default to more code reading when the change touches agents, gateway, plugins, auth, sessions, process, config, or provider/runtime seams.
 - Compare the PR against current `origin/main` behavior. Check whether recent main already changed the same surface.
 - Dependency-backed behavior: MUST read upstream docs/source/types before judging API use, defaults, output shapes, errors, timeouts, memory behavior, or compatibility. Do not assume dependency contracts from memory or PR text.
 - Judge solution quality, not only correctness. Ask whether the PR is the clean owner-boundary fix or a wart/workaround that should be replaced by a small refactor, moved seam, contract change, or deletion of duplicate logic.
 - Mention the main files read when the verdict depends on code-path evidence.
-- If the user challenges the verdict or asks whether the idea is really good, resume code reading first. Do not defend, soften, or reverse the verdict until the missing caller/callee/sibling/dependency path is checked.
-
-## Best-fix review loop
-
-Every PR review must explicitly answer: "Is this the best fix, or only a plausible fix?"
-
-Before verdict:
-
-1. Reconstruct the bug, feature need, or behavior claim from issue/PR/proof.
-2. Trace current behavior from entry point to failure or decision point.
-3. Read touched files, callers, callees, owner modules, adjacent tests, and relevant docs.
-4. Read sibling surfaces that should share the invariant or could be broken by a one-sided fix.
-5. Compare against current `origin/main` and shipped behavior when regression/compat matters.
-6. Inspect upstream dependency/Codex source or docs for dependency-backed behavior.
-7. Identify at least one alternative fix location or shape, then reject it with evidence.
-8. If any required path above is uninspected, keep reading or mark `Remaining uncertainty`; do not call the PR best, blocked, proof-sufficient, or merge-ready.

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

 ## Build changelog-backed release notes
 
-- `CHANGELOG.md` is release-owned. Normal PRs and direct `main` fixes should
-  not edit it.
 - Before release branching or tagging, rewrite the target `CHANGELOG.md`
-  section from history, not existing notes. Use the last reachable stable or
-  beta release tag as the base, then inspect every commit through the target
-  release SHA.
-- The changelog rewrite is not optional for beta reruns: any `beta.N` after a
-  rebase or backport must refresh the same stable-base `## YYYY.M.D` section
-  before the new version/tag commit.
-- Include both merged PR commits and direct commits on `main`. Direct commits
-  matter: infer notes from their subject, body, touched files, linked issues,
-  tests, and nearby code when no PR body exists.
-- Prefer PR bodies, issue links, review proof, and commit bodies over commit
-  subjects alone. If a commit fixed an issue directly, the commit body should
-  name the user-visible behavior, affected surface, issue ref, and credited
-  reporter/contributor when known.
-- Treat missing context as a release-note audit gap: inspect the diff and linked
-  issue, draft the best accurate entry, and note the uncertainty for maintainer
-  review rather than inventing impact.
-- Add missed user-facing changes, remove internal-only noise, dedupe overlapping
-  PR/direct-commit entries, and sort each section from most to least interesting
-  for users.
-- Group related highlights, changes, and fixes by user-facing surface and
-  impact, but never lose traceability: each grouped bullet keeps every relevant
-  `#issue`, `(#PR)`, `Fixes #...`, and every human `Thanks @...` handle.
-  Multiple thanks in one bullet are expected when multiple contributor PRs are
-  grouped.
+  section from commit history, not just from existing notes: scan commits since
+  the last reachable release tag, add missed user-facing changes, dedupe
+  overlapping entries, and sort each section from most to least interesting for
+  users.
 - Changelog entries should be user-facing, not internal release-process notes.
 - GitHub release and prerelease bodies must use the full matching
   `CHANGELOG.md` version section, not highlights or an excerpt. When creating
   or editing a release, extract from `## YYYY.M.D` through the line before the
   next level-2 heading and use that complete block as the release notes.
-- To update an existing GitHub Release body, resolve the numeric release id and
-  patch that resource with the notes file as the `body` field:
-  `gh api repos/openclaw/openclaw/releases/tags/vYYYY.M.D --jq .id`, then
-  `gh api -X PATCH repos/openclaw/openclaw/releases/<id> -F body=@/tmp/notes.md`.
-  Do not trust `gh release edit --notes-file` or `--input` JSON if verification
-  disagrees; verify with `gh api repos/openclaw/openclaw/releases/<id>` because
-  the tag lookup and `gh release view` can lag or show stale body text.
 - When preparing release notes, scan `src/plugins/compat/registry.ts` and
   `src/commands/doctor/shared/deprecation-compat.ts` for compatibility records
   with `warningStarts` or `removeAfter` within 7 days after the release date.

-# Verify Release
-
-Use this when asked whether an OpenClaw release is fully released, published,
-promoted, smoke-tested, or live-verified. This is a verification skill, not a
-publish skill; use `$release-openclaw-maintainer` before changing release state.
-
-## Rules
-
-- Resolve short suffixes like `.27` to the concrete CalVer version from the
-  current date/context, then say the resolved version.
-- Verify live state. Do not trust local checkout state, release notes, or old
-  memory as current truth.
-- If the checkout is dirty or divergent, use it only for scripts/reference.
-  For version metadata, fetch from GitHub release/tag or unpack the tag tarball
-  under `/tmp`.
-- Never print secrets. Use inherited live keys only for scoped smoke commands.
-- Keep the final terse: `yes/no`, evidence bullets, caveats, cleanup.
-
-## Core Checks
-
-1. GitHub release:
-   - `gh release view v<VERSION> --repo openclaw/openclaw --json tagName,name,publishedAt,isDraft,isPrerelease,targetCommitish,url,body,assets`
-   - Confirm stable releases are not draft/prerelease.
-   - Confirm release body has npm, CI, plugin npm, ClawHub, mac/appcast evidence
-     links when expected.
-   - Confirm assets expected for stable mac releases are uploaded: zip, dmg,
-     dSYM, dependency evidence when present.
-2. Root npm:
-   - `npm view openclaw@<VERSION> version dist-tags.latest dist.tarball dist.integrity time.<VERSION> --json`
-   - `latest` must equal `<VERSION>` for stable.
-   - Record tarball, integrity, publish time.
-3. Plugin publish set:
-   - Get exact tag metadata from GitHub, not the local checkout when dirty:
-     download `https://api.github.com/repos/openclaw/openclaw/tarball/v<VERSION>`
-     into `/tmp/openclaw-v<VERSION>-src`.
-   - Count `extensions/*/package.json` with
-     `openclaw.release.publishToNpm === true` and
-     `openclaw.release.publishToClawHub === true`.
-   - Compare expected counts to workflow job counts:
-     `gh api repos/openclaw/openclaw/actions/runs/<RUN>/jobs --paginate`.
-   - Each expected npm plugin must have version `<VERSION>` and
-     `dist-tags.latest === <VERSION>`.
-4. ClawHub:
-   - Check the Plugin ClawHub Release workflow conclusion and publish job count.
-   - Use OpenClaw itself for live registry proof:
-     `openclaw plugins search <known-plugin> --json`.
-   - Install one official plugin from ClawHub in an isolated HOME:
-     `openclaw plugins install clawhub:@openclaw/matrix --pin`.
-     Prefer `matrix` unless that plugin is not in the expected set.
-5. Release workflows:
-   - Verify conclusions for release notes evidence links:
-     Full Release Validation, OpenClaw Release Checks, OpenClaw NPM Release,
-     Plugin NPM Release, Plugin ClawHub Release, mac preflight/validation/publish
-     when stable mac assets are expected.
-   - Summarize only relevant successful/failed jobs; ignore routine skipped
-     optional lanes unless the release body promised them.
-6. Published package smoke:
-   - In `/tmp`, isolated HOME:
-     `npm exec --yes --package openclaw@<VERSION> -- openclaw --version`.
-   - Run at least one harmless command that touches the published CLI surface,
-     for example `plugins --help` or `gateway --help`.
-7. Dev Gateway live model smoke:
-   - Use temp HOME/workspace, not the user's normal state:
-     `HOME=/tmp/openclaw-release-smoke/home OPENCLAW_WORKSPACE=/tmp/openclaw-release-smoke/work pnpm openclaw --dev gateway run --auth none --force --verbose`.
-   - Health check via CLI: `openclaw --dev gateway health --json`.
-   - Run one Gateway-backed agent turn with inherited `OPENAI_API_KEY`, short
-     prompt, explicit session key, JSON output, and a known-available model.
-   - If the configured default model fails as unavailable, record that caveat
-     and retry with the newest known-good OpenAI model instead of declaring the
-     release failed.
-   - Stop the gateway and verify the port is not listening.
-
-## Caveats To Report
-
-- Dist-tag caveat: stable `latest` is release truth; if optional `beta` mirrors
-  still point at a beta version, report it as a caveat, not a stable-release
-  blocker, unless the user asked to verify beta promotion.
-- Divergent checkout caveat: say when local source SHA differs from release tag
-  or origin and which live sources were used instead.
-- Smoke caveat: distinguish Gateway-backed agent success from local embedded
-  fallback. A valid Gateway smoke has health OK plus gateway log/run id for the
-  agent call.

-- Dependency-touching work: direct dependency inspection is mandatory when feasible; do not rely on assumptions, wrappers, or memory. Most dependencies are OSS, so read their source/docs/types.

 - Plugin APIs, provider routing, auth/session state, persisted preferences, config loading, config/default additions, migrations, setup, startup checks, and fallback behavior are compatibility/upgrade-sensitive. Treat config breaks, new config/default surfaces, removed fallbacks, fail-closed changes, stricter validation, or new operator action as merge risk even with green CI when they can affect existing users, upgrades, provider/plugin behavior, or maintainer operations.
 - For PRs that add, remove, or change config/default surfaces with possible compatibility, upgrade, provider/plugin, operator, setup, startup, or fallback impact, ClawSweeper review should emit a `reviewMetrics` entry when practical. The metric should name the count and direction of the changes, such as added, changed, or removed config/default surfaces, and explain why the metric matters before merge. When the metric indicates concrete merge risk, also surface the concern in `risks`, use `mergeRiskLabels` when the risk matches the label rubric, make `bestSolution` name the desired pre-merge state, and ensure `labelJustifications` explain the specific reason rather than restating the label.
 - Review whole decision surfaces, not only the touched runtime, provider, channel, harness, plugin seam, or context path. Check sibling Codex/Pi-style runtimes, provider/model routing, channel delivery, gateway/protocol, plugin SDK, and context-management paths when relevant.

Verdicts need a best-fix judgment backed by enough code reading to compare owner boundaries, callers, siblings, tests, docs, current `main`, shipped behavior when relevant, and dependency/Codex contracts when involved.
-- Before a PR verdict, build a small evidence map: changed surface, entry point, owner boundary, at least one caller and callee, sibling surfaces that share the invariant, existing tests, and current `main` behavior. If any cell is missing, say the gap instead of concluding.
 - One-sided fixes need sibling-surface proof, an explanation for why siblings are unaffected, or explicit follow-up work.

 - Public ClawSweeper comments prefer `https://docs.openclaw.ai/...` when a public docs page exists; structured evidence still cites repo files, lines, SHAs.

 - External official plugins own package/deps and are excluded from core dist; core uses registry-aware `facade-runtime` or generic contracts.
 - Externalizing a bundled plugin: update package excludes, official catalogs, docs, tests, and prove core runtime paths resolve installed plugin roots before root-dep removal.
 - Runtime reads canonical config only. No silent compat for old/malformed config keys. If a config change invalidates existing files, add a matching `openclaw doctor --fix` migration. Core/auth config repairs live in core doctor; plugin-owned config repairs live in that plugin's doctor contract (`legacyConfigRules` / `normalizeCompatibilityConfig`).
-- OpenAI Codex is folded into `openai`. No new/live `openai-codex` provider/plugin/auth/model routes; treat them as legacy input only. Runtime/setup/auth/catalog use `openai` + `openai/*`; doctor/migrations repair stale `openai-codex/*` profiles/metadata.
-- Config/env surface bar is high; `openclaw.json` and environment variables are already large. Before adding a config option or env var, first prove existing product behavior, provider selection, defaults, or doctor migration cannot solve it. Prefer removing or consolidating config/env options when touching these surfaces. Core supports only the latest config shape; `openclaw doctor --fix` migrates older shipped shapes into the current one.
-- CLI setup flows are public API when external docs, installers, or integrations can copy them. Changes to `openclaw onboard`, `openclaw configure`, their documented flags, non-interactive behavior, or generated config shape are compatibility-sensitive API contract changes; prefer additive flags/aliases, deprecation windows, and backward-preserving migrations over breaking existing snippets.
 - Fix shape: default to clean bounded refactor, not smallest patch. Move ownership to right boundary; delete stale abstractions, duplicate policy, dead branches, wrappers, fallback stacks.
-- Fix observed local failures with generic product rules; do not hardcode names, ids, log phrases, or user examples in prod code unless they are an explicit contract.
-- Tests may use observed examples, but prod literals need a short contract reason.
-- Compatibility is opt-in. "Shipped" means reachable from a release Git tag; main/GitHub/PR/unreleased code is not shipped.
-- Refactor default: one canonical path. Delete the old path unless user explicitly wants compat or the shipped public contract is obvious and cited.
-- Core runtime consumes only current canonical shapes/config/data. Legacy or retired shapes normalize only in doctor/migration code before runtime; no runtime shims, aliases, or fallback readers.
-- State/storage migrations are database-first. Runtime reads/writes the canonical store only. Old file stores, sidecars, aliases, and fallback readers belong in `openclaw doctor --fix` migration code only, never steady-state runtime.
-- Storage default: SQLite only. Do not add JSON/JSONL/TXT/sidecar files for OpenClaw-owned runtime state, caches, queues, registries, indexes, cursors, checkpoints, or plugin scratch data.
-- SQLite runtime access uses Kysely helpers, not raw SQL statement strings, except schema DDL, migrations, low-level DB bootstrap, or narrowly justified SQLite primitives.
-- Use the shared state DB (`state/openclaw.sqlite`) for global runtime state and plugin KV data. Use the per-agent DB (`agents/<agentId>/agent/openclaw-agent.sqlite`) for agent-scoped state/cache. Use a dedicated SQLite DB only when schema, volume, or lifecycle clearly does not fit those stores.
-- Legacy state/cache files are migration debt. When touching code that reads/writes them, prefer moving the data into SQLite or calling out the refactor follow-up; do not add parallel file paths.
-- File storage must be a named product artifact: import/export, user attachment, log, backup, or external tool contract. If it is app state or cache, it belongs in SQLite.
-- Before adding any path under state dirs, choose one: shared state DB, plugin KV, agent DB, or dedicated SQLite schema. If none fits, design the SQLite owner/schema first.
-- Cache/transient state gets no compat migration unless a shipped user contract is cited. Prefer delete/drop/rebuild over import. If old state can be lost without user-visible data loss, remove the old path entirely.
-- Persistent user state gets one migration owner. Doctor migrates, verifies, and then runtime assumes the new shape. No dual-write, read-through fallback, lazy import, or "if SQLite fails use JSON" branches.
-- Fallback is a product decision, not an implementation convenience. Before adding one, name the shipped contract, failure mode, removal plan, and why doctor cannot solve it. Otherwise delete it.
-- Keep old behavior only for an explicit public API/config/plugin SDK/data contract, tagged upgrade path, security/migration boundary, dependency contract, or observed prod state.
-- If unsure, ask before preserving compat. Do not keep aliases, shims, fallback stacks, stale names, or obsolete tests just in case.
-- Tests alone do not make internals contracts. If compat stays, name the contract and migration/removal plan in code, test, or PR.
 - Lean code is a goal. No internal shims, aliases, legacy names, broad fallbacks, or defensive branches just to reduce diff or handle unrealistic edge cases.
-- Handle real production states, tagged upgrade paths, security boundaries, and dependency contracts. Public/hostile/observed malformed input gets care; hypothetical malformed input does not.
-- Deprecate shipped public contracts only.
-- Plugin SDK exception: shipped external API gets new API first plus named compat/deprecation, small tests/docs if useful, removal plan.
+- Handle real production states, shipped upgrade paths, security boundaries, and dependency contracts. Public/hostile/observed malformed input gets care; hypothetical malformed input does not.
+- Public plugin SDK/API is the compat exception. New API first, old path only via named compat/deprecation metadata, docs, warnings when useful, tests for old+new, planned removal.
 - Migrate internal/bundled callers to modern API in the same change. Do not let internal compat become permanent architecture.
 - Channels are implementation under `src/channels/**`; plugin authors get SDK seams. Providers own auth/catalog/runtime hooks; core owns generic loop.
-- Message/channel plugins stay transport-only. They render portable presentation/actions, enforce transport limits, and map native callback envelopes. They do not own product command trees, plugin/provider policy, or feature-specific menus.
-- Portable command UI must use typed presentation actions, not raw string inference. Do not make channels guess that `value` starting with `/` means a native command; core/owner plugins declare command actions, channels map them when supported.
-- Raw callback data is transport/private. Approval, command, URL, web-app, and select actions must stay distinguishable before channel encoding so transport adapters do not special-case product strings.
-- Agent run terminal state: normalize/merge via `src/agents/agent-run-terminal-outcome.ts`; do not rederive timeout/cancel precedence in projections.
 - Hot paths should carry prepared facts forward: provider id, model ref, channel id, target, capability family, attachment class. Do not rediscover with broad plugin/provider/channel/capability loaders.
 - Do not fix repeated request-time discovery with scattered caches. Move the canonical fact earlier; reuse prepared runtime objects; delete duplicate lookup branches.
 - Gateway/plugin metadata is process-stable: installs, manifests, catalogs, generated paths, bundled metadata. Changes require restart or explicit owner reload/install/doctor flow.
 - Runtime hot paths: no freshness polling (`stat`/`realpath`/JSON reread/hash). Reuse current snapshots, install records, discovery, lookup tables, root scopes, resolved paths.
 - Process-local metadata caches ok when lifecycle-owned and bounded/single-slot. Freshness exceptions need named owner + tests.
-- Inline comments: preserve reviewer context at the code site. Required for non-obvious cross-path/state invariants, lifecycle ordering, ownership boundaries, queue/dedupe symmetry, TTL/cache expiry, cleanup/release coupling, session/id adoption, fallback behavior, platform/dependency caps, deterministic ordering, compact encoded state, or intentional caller differences.

 - Use `$openclaw-pr-maintainer` immediately for maintainer-side OpenClaw issue/PR review, triage, duplicates, labels, comments, close, land, or evidence. Contributor PR creation/refresh follows the requested contributor workflow; linked refs alone do not require maintainer archive tooling.
-- Issue/PR start: `git status -sb`; if clean, `git pull --ff-only`; if dirty, yell before pull/rebase.
+- Pasted GitHub issue/PR: first `git status -sb`; if dirty, yell; then `git push` + `git pull --ff-only`.
 - PR refs: `gh pr view/diff` or `gh api`, not web search. Prefer `gitcrawl` for maintainer discovery; missing/stale `gitcrawl` falls through to live `gh`, not contributor setup. Verify live with `gh` before mutation.
-- Bare issue/PR URL/number: inspect live and take the efficient maintainer path; switch branches/refs when useful.
-- No unsolicited PR labels/retitles/rebases/fixups/landing. Comments/reviews ok only for reviewable findings, pre-merge proof, or close/duplicate reason after explicit close/sweep/landing request.
+- Bare issue/PR URL/number means review/report in chat. Suggest comment/close/merge when appropriate; mutate only when asked.
+- No unsolicited PR comments/reviews/labels/retitles/rebases/fixups/landing. Exception: close/duplicate action that needs a reason comment after explicit close/sweep/landing request.
 - Maintainer decision closes the cluster: if deciding reported behavior/proposed fix is not planned, comment+close all directly associated open issues/PRs unless explicitly told to keep one open. Associated means linked PRs/issues, duplicates, companion workaround PRs, and the canonical issue for the rejected behavior.
 - Do not leave associated issues open for hypothetical future repros. Close with rationale; ask for a new issue or reopen only if concrete new evidence appears. Close comment states: decision, why, supported alternative, and what evidence would change the decision.
-- Issue/PR work: search strong related issues/PRs before final; close proven dupes/fixed siblings. If none close, suggest one next related follow-up.
-- PR superseded by `main`: if code proof shows `main` already has same-or-better behavior, comment canonical commit/PR + focused proof, then close. Bar high: inspect PR diff, current code/tests, linked issue, caller/sibling path. If unsure, leave open.
-- Issue/PR numbers need a short summary every time; assume the reader has not opened or read them.
-- Before presenting a batch of issues/PRs, use smart subagents to verify live state and current `main`; omit closed/fixed items, and comment+close items already fixed on `main` when maintainer action is authorized.
 - PR review answer: bug/behavior, URL(s), affected surface, provenance for regressions when traceable, best-fix judgment, evidence from code/tests/CI/current or shipped behavior.
-- PR reviewable findings: post them on the PR, not chat-only, so author sees actionable feedback.
 - Issue/PR final answer: last line is the full GitHub URL.
-- PR verification: before merge, post land-ready work done, exact local commands, CI/Testbox run IDs, before/after proof when used, and known proof gaps.
+- Changelog: PR landings/fixes need one unless pure test/internal. Do not mention missing changelog as a review finding; Codex handles it during fix/landing.
+- PR verification: before merge, post exact local commands, CI/Testbox run IDs, before/after proof when used, and known proof gaps.
 - Issue fixed on `main` with proof: comment proof + commit/PR, then close.
 - After landing or requested close/sweep: search duplicates; comment proof + canonical commit/PR/release before closing.
 - After landing/ship final: include 2-5 sentence recap of what landed: behavior change, key files/surface, proof run, issue/PR state. Do not answer with only status/links.
 - `ship` that fixes an issue: after push, comment proof + commit link, then close the issue.
-- Public GH comments: show draft in chat first unless user explicitly asked to post/comment/reply/close/merge/land. After work starts and changes/proof exist, post the review/proof/commit comment.
-- Representing user: if user already has a comment/thread for the point, update/reply there when possible; avoid duplicate PR/issue comments.
-- No surprise GH writes: chat must mention every posted/updated public comment with URL.
 - GH comments with backticks, `$`, or shell snippets: use heredoc/body file, not inline double-quoted `--body`.
 - PR create: real body required. Include Summary + Verification; mention refs, behavior, and proof.
-- PR create/refresh: keep PR branches takeover-ready. Use a branch maintainers can push to, or for fork PRs ensure `maintainer_can_modify` / GitHub's `Allow edits by maintainers` is enabled unless explicitly told otherwise or GitHub's Actions/secrets warning makes that unsafe.
-- GitHub issue/PR create: read `$agent-transcript`; ask about sanitized transcript logs when available.
-- Contributor PRs: parsed `Real behavior proof` uses exact `field: value` labels: `Behavior addressed`, `Real environment tested`, `Exact steps or command run after this patch`, `Evidence after fix`, `Observed result after fix`, `What was not tested`.
-- PR artifacts/screenshots: attach to PR/comment/external artifact store. Never push screenshots, videos, proof images, or proof assets to OpenClaw or any product repo branch, including temp artifact branches. Use Crabbox artifact publishing plus the manifest URL.

 ### Changes
 
-- Search/providers: add the Parallel bundled web-search plugin, live provider tests, registration contracts, onboarding/docs wiring, and guarded `api.parallel.ai/v1/search` support. (#85158) Thanks @NormallyGaussian.
-- Matrix/channels: add voice-message preflight and thread-aware read/reply behavior, including Matrix QA scenario wiring and docs for voice-message behavior. (#78016, #90415)
-- Skills/ClawHub: install ClawHub skills backed by GitHub repositories through the resolved install API, download the pinned GitHub commit, keep install-policy checks, and report install telemetry after success. (#90478) Thanks @Patrick-Erichsen.
-- Google Chat/channels: add native approval card actions and click handling so Google Chat approvals use platform-native cards instead of generic message flow.
-- Mobile: Android provider/model screens now surface expiring, unavailable, unresolved, and attention states more clearly, while iOS settings and Talk tabs keep diagnostics, gateway rows, attachment labels, and unavailable Talk controls reachable.
-- Memory: QMD search can use the new rerank toggle, and memory adapter status uses the resolved default model identity when checking plain status. (#61834)
-- Docs/tooling: add Parallel search docs, refresh weather-skill guidance toward `web_fetch`, clarify legacy `openai-codex` auth, document release/test helper scripts, and tighten changed-test routing docs for CI/debugging work. (#90028, #90250) Thanks @fuller-stack-dev.
-- Release/process: switch release trains to `YYYY.M.PATCH` monthly patch numbering, keep pre-transition tags compatible, and pin the June 2026 floor at `2026.6.5` after the published beta.
-- Platform maintenance: refresh Android, Swift/macOS, Docker, CodeQL, Buildx, Docker build/push, and Codex Action dependencies for this release train. (#74980, #81757, #86481, #86483, #90601)

(#90532, #90287, #90058) Thanks @RomneyDa, @hxy91819, and @mrunalp.
-- Release/CI/E2E: Docker E2E and live Docker harness runs now apply default memory, CPU, and process ceilings while preserving explicit per-lane overrides.
-- Release/CI/E2E: plugin lifecycle matrix resource sampling now fails phases that exceed RSS, wall-clock, or CPU ceilings instead of only logging the measurements.
-- Release/CI/E2E: Codex npm plugin live assertions now cap transcript discovery and diagnostic log reads so failure proof stays bounded.
-- Tests/state isolation: QA Lab valid-tool-call metrics now require runtime tool-call evidence when runtime parity data is available instead of counting tool-backed scenario pass status alone.
-- Tests/state isolation: QA Lab runtime parity now fails planned-only tool-call rows without matching tool results instead of treating matching mock plans as real tool evidence.
-- Tests/state isolation: provider, media, auth, cron, task, session, sandbox, Gateway, and Codex timeout fixtures now scope more home/state/env data per test, reducing cross-test leakage and making release validation failures less noisy. (#90027, #89974)

-- Telegram/Feishu: require admin rights for Telegram target writeback, keep Telegram DM exec approval allowlists working with `ask:off`, prevent Telegram preview duplication across streaming modes, isolate verbose status after streamed finals, cancel clean restart stop timers, slow polling restart storms, and wire Feishu setup runtime setters. (#88973, #89035, #89813, #89814) Thanks @pgondhi987, @zhangguiping-xydt, and @takhoffman.
-- Feishu: preserve full streaming card content by sending the merged text on each update instead of only the latest delta, so card readers see complete output when intermediate frames are missed. (#90181) Thanks @mushuiyu886.
-- Chat/UI/Gateway: preserve visible chat stream text, clear stale stream buffers before terminal commits, reconcile completed sends, scroll pending sends into view, harden Workboard dialog accessibility, stabilize WebChat prompt-cache affinity, overlap chat catalog startup, render chat history incrementally, lazy-load usage dashboard, and report gateway health auth diagnostics. (#89337) Thanks @RomneyDa.
-- Agents/Codex/providers/models: release session write locks when prompt-release fence reads fail, retire abandoned Codex app-server startups, keep stream-to-parent ACP spawns registered, close Codex startup clients on timeout, recover bundled provider aliases, avoid custom-provider runtime fanout, preserve provider prompt-cache boundaries, forward Gemini stop sequences, and strip Kimi-incompatible Anthropic cache markers. (#89811) Thanks @takhoffman.
-- Memory/build/update: warn after startup watcher pressure checks, externalize optional Baileys image backends, restore and pin Canvas A2UI compatibility assets, keep plugin repair fetch failures nonblocking, restore Skill Workshop view switching, and keep the current chat toggle active after awaited session switches. (#89244) Thanks @RomneyDa.
-- Plugins/auth: keep Hermes migration reports pointed at SQLite auth-profile stores and keep plugin auth-profile reuse tests on the current store path.
-- Plugins/CLI: avoid importing the runtime plugin loader only to clear in-process caches after short-lived plugin install, enable, disable, update, and uninstall commands refresh registry metadata.
-- Security/config/tooling: reject corrupt shell snapshots, suspicious gateway startup configs, malformed release/test/tooling/Docker/perf numeric limits, oversized audit responses, unsafe exec precheck env, and invalid pending-agent SQLite scaffold denials. (#89701, #89705, #89480, #81488) Thanks @RomneyDa and @mmaps.
-- Release/CI/E2E: restore package changelog extraction after the post-2026.6.1 version bump, keep hydrated pnpm modules under `node_modules` for ARM/Linux package lifecycle scripts, keep OpenAI live-cache prerequisites advisory while Anthropic prerequisites stay blocking, retry Windows Parallels background log appends on transient file-lock errors, bound candidate GitHub and cross-OS Discord fetches, harden ARM smoke/browser checks, show Docker build heartbeats, reset Crabbox pnpm hydrate state, and isolate Testbox/Docker/release journey artifacts.
-- Release/CI/E2E: keep Crabbox hydrate pnpm stores on the persistent cache volume while still resetting volatile modules, reducing cold installs and runner memory churn.
-- Release/CI/E2E: fail secret-provider proof startup immediately when the gateway exits by signal instead of waiting for the readiness timeout.
-- Release/CI/E2E: report plugin gateway gauntlet command-log write failures as failed rows instead of crashing the harness from child-process callbacks.
-- Release/CI/E2E: abort stalled Kitchen Sink RPC readiness probes as soon as the gateway exits so proof failures return promptly.
-- Release/CI/E2E: keep Parallels JSON-mode progress on stderr so macOS, Linux, Windows, and aggregate update smoke summaries stay parseable on stdout.
-- Release/CI/E2E: fail Crabbox sparse-sync runs clearly when their temporary full checkout disappears while the child process is running, instead of pretending the child's deleted cwd can be repaired.
-- Release/CI/E2E: fail PTY-backed E2E commands when transcript logs cannot be written instead of letting missing proof capture crash around a live child process.
-- Release/CI/E2E: fail mock OpenAI request-log write errors with clear HTTP responses instead of leaving provider proof clients waiting on a broken socket.
-- Release/CI/E2E: fail Parallels host-command log write errors through the command result path instead of leaving streaming smoke phases unresolved.

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

-### Fixes
-
-- Release/CI/E2E: fail early when Crabbox sparse-sync full checkouts do not have enough local disk, with guidance for moving the sync root.
-- Build: render independent CLI startup metadata help snapshots concurrently to cut cold build-all metadata time.
-- Plugins: stop timed-out package-boundary prep steps by process group so descendant TypeScript/helper processes do not survive local check cleanup.
-- Control UI: serve static assets asynchronously after safe-open checks so large UI files do not block Gateway request handling.
-- Scripts/UI: forward direct wrapper SIGHUP shutdown to child processes so terminal hangups do not leave wrapped dev commands running.
-- Gateway: return the post-expiration pending-work revision from node drains so reconnecting nodes do not observe stale queue revisions after expired items are pruned.
-- Release/CI/E2E: keep temporary full-sync checkouts alive while slow Crabbox leases boot, so sparse worktree runs do not lose their sync source before file-list generation.
-- Release/CI/E2E: normalize inherited Linux `C.UTF-8` locale settings before raw AWS macOS Crabbox bootstrap commands, avoiding macOS locale warnings during package-manager hydration.
-- Release/CI/E2E: keep gateway watch regression checks from copying large static plugin assets inside the measured idle window.
-- Update: keep core updates nonblocking when missing external plugin repair downloads or soft plugin repair warnings would otherwise stall, pin post-core plugin compatibility to the downgraded core version, and still block installed active plugin payload smoke failures. (#84431, #87914, #87952) Thanks @TurboTheTurtle, @Niriakot, and @MukundaKatta.
-- Agents/providers: keep streaming tool-call argument parsing record-shaped when providers emit valid non-object JSON such as `null` or arrays.
-- Release/CI/E2E: reset incremental log readers when watched log files rotate without shrinking, so same-size replacements do not hide new readiness or RPC lines.
-- Talk: preserve explicit `null` payloads on controller-created turn and output-audio lifecycle events.
-- Agents/TUI: keep local custom provider runs from loading plugin runtime and auth alias metadata when plugins are disabled.
-- Agents/TUI: restore in-flight TUI run switch-back behavior, keep no-policy native hook fallback available, guard vanished workspaces, and keep lightweight isolated subagents lightweight.
-- Agents/media: keep async image, music, and video generation starts from ending the Codex turn, avoid duplicate generated-media fallbacks, and let mixed requests continue with summaries or other work while media renders in the background. (#89220) Thanks @omarshahine.
-- Agents/Codex: keep public OpenAI API-key profiles from being treated as native Codex app-server auth while preserving persisted Codex OAuth sessions.
-- Agents/Codex: stream Codex app-server final-answer partials to live reply previews, preserve ACP metadata in SQLite, prefer real tool results over synthetic repair output, prevent aborted app-server turn handles from lingering, migrate legacy OpenAI Codex `lastGood` auth state, and preserve workspace/session metadata through ACP runtime refactors. (#88405, #88724, #88730) Thanks @vincentkoc.
-- Control UI: keep collapsed tool cards labeled with the tool name and action instead of generic output text. Thanks @shakkernerd.
-- Agents/Codex: surface Skill Workshop guidance in Codex app-server prompts when `skill_workshop` is available. Thanks @shakkernerd.
-- Skill Workshop: restore and localize the Control UI board/today view switcher so review workflows keep their intended layout toggle across locales. Thanks @shakkernerd.
-- Agents/auth: write auth profiles atomically, dispatch auth failures by type, add force re-login and exhausted-failover recovery, clear legacy auto fallback pins, preserve workspaces during state-only uninstall, and compact before oversized turns so recovery paths avoid partial state. (#85798, #87484, #89181) Thanks @RomneyDa and @neeravmakwana.
-- Skills: skip disabled skill env overrides from stale persisted snapshots so disabled skill `apiKey` SecretRefs cannot abort embedded or channel turns. (#79072, #79173) Thanks @zeus1959.
-- Skill Workshop: render the Control UI tab from filtered navigation state and keep filtered fallback routing stable.
-- CLI: avoid live catalog validation during `openclaw agents add`, so adding a secondary agent no longer depends on provider catalog availability. (#76284, #88314) Thanks @zhangguiping-xydt.
-- CLI: harden CLI and plugin edge cases, and keep `plugins list --json` on the snapshot-only path so plugin sweeps avoid loading the full runtime status graph. (#88896)
-- CLI/desktop: bridge WSL clipboard operations through the shell, recognize manual-update launchd jobs, and keep machine-readable startup output parseable during progress setup. (#88764, #88689) Thanks @alexzhu0.
-- Plugins: make PixVerse external-plugin ClawHub metadata explicit and keep it out of bundled dist builds.
-- Plugins: clarify plugin loader failure guidance and treat soft plugin repair warnings as nonfatal so missing or incompatible plugin packages point operators at the right repair path without blocking unrelated work. (#84431) Thanks @TurboTheTurtle.
-- Plugins: preserve npm plugin roots after blocked installs, skip plugin-local `openclaw` peer symlinks during rollback snapshots, relink those peers after restore, isolate cached tool runtime siblings, isolate provider catalog projections and web-provider factory failures, and keep private LLM-core declarations bundled so one bad plugin does not poison sibling runtime paths. (#77237, #88767, #88807, #89336) Thanks @vincentkoc and @RomneyDa.
-- Cron: keep SQLite cron migrations compatible with legacy run-log tables, archived job stores, diagnostic cron names, single-job run-history names, startup cron retries, and legacy one-shot delete-after-run behavior. (#88285, #88294, #89075) Thanks @kip-claw.
-- Cron: keep update delivery validation scoped, harden restart state, and retire MCP runtimes on isolated cron cleanup.
-- Auto-reply: guard dispatcher failure-count probes so missing optional counters do not break SDK-typed recovery paths. (#89318) Thanks @Alix-007 and @takhoffman.
-- Memory: serialize QMD update/embed writes per store, reduce Linux watcher fan-out, avoid noisy gateway watcher warnings, retry transient FileProvider-backed reads, preserve phase signals on read errors, harden envelope metadata sanitization, reattach Linux native watchers when directories are recreated, and rewrite generated transcript paths on rollover so memory/search state survives concurrent gateway and CLI activity. (#66339, #85931, #89185, #89188, #89246, #85351) Thanks @openperf, @amittell, @RomneyDa, and @NianJiuZst.
-- Memory: keep vector-disabled FTS indexes from resolving embedding providers during sync and search.
-- Providers: bound generated media downloads from OpenAI, Runway, xAI, MiniMax, BytePlus, DashScope-compatible, FAL, OpenRouter, Google, Vydra, and Comfy providers.

(#88480, #88512, #88781, #89343, #89379, #89400, #76612) Thanks @coder999999999, @BryanTegomoh, @vliuyt, @charles-openclaw, @zz327455573, @849261680, and @XuZehan-iCenter.
-- Providers: cap GitHub Copilot OAuth request timeouts before creating abort signals.
-- Cron: retry recurring jobs after transient model rate limits before waiting for the next scheduled slot.
-- Agents/Codex: keep live session locks during cleanup, recover interrupted CLI tool transcripts, preserve Codex auth and compaction session identity, clear orphan tool state, cap app-server idle timers, and keep media completion delivery retryable. (#88129, #88136, #88141, #88162, #88182)
-- Chat/UI: show Gateway chat failures as visible assistant messages in the Control UI instead of only setting an invisible error state.
-- Channels: cap Telegram, Discord, WhatsApp, Signal, Feishu, Google Chat, Microsoft Teams, QQBot, Nostr, Zalo, Zalouser, and Nextcloud-style request/retry timers; preserve SMS approval reply routes; keep iMessage typing active during tool work; allow RFC2544 benchmark ranges for QQBot token fetches; and retry WhatsApp QR login 408 timeouts. (#88183, #88948, #88984, #89015) Thanks @omarshahine, @Jensenwgd, and @sliverp.
-- Security/config parsing: reject unsafe OAuth/token lifetimes, retry-after delays, inbound timestamps, response body sizes, command timeout config, sandbox observer token TTLs, corrupt shell snapshots, untrusted workspace setup-only channel loads, remote media reference overreads, trajectory export leaks, hooks-token auth reuse, and gateway WebSocket calls after close. (#86953, #87376, #88974, #89354, #89701) Thanks @hxy91819, @coygeek, @pgondhi987, and @RomneyDa.
-- Providers/media: cap local service, model, usage, queue, generated media, TTS, music, workflow polling, and provider OAuth request timers across hosted and local providers.
-- Release/CI/E2E: bound release candidate reads, beta smoke REST calls, plugin npm verification commands, changelog restore, cross-OS process groups, kitchen-sink and bundled plugin readiness probes, secret-provider probes, Telegram credential timeouts, Control UI i18n and CLI startup metadata generation, Vitest routing, dependency guard admin approvals, child workflow failure detection, quiet Node test shard stalls, dist cache restores, Docker base-image/package cleanup, and mainline test flakes. (#84988, #88127, #88137, #88155, #88160, #88966, #89169) Thanks @LibraHo and @RomneyDa.
-- Release/CI/E2E: keep Kitchen Sink live plugin MCP probes resolving source-checkout workspace packages and align the live gauntlet with current Kitchen Sink diagnostics.
-- Backup: accept root-relative hardlink targets during backup verification. (#89328) Thanks @abnershang.
-- Release/CI/E2E: run the secret-provider integration proof through the repo pnpm runner so native macOS and Windows validation use the hydrated package-manager shim.
-- Release/CI/E2E: run the Telegram desktop proof gateway through the repo pnpm runner so native macOS proof uses the hydrated package-manager shim.
-- Docs/CI: run Mintlify anchor checks through the repo pnpm runner so docs link validation works when pnpm is only available through the hydrated package-manager shim.
-- Agents: keep configured fallback model metadata typed so provider params, context-token caps, and media input limits do not break changed-gate typechecks.
-- Agents: accept hidden `sessions_send` body aliases before validation while keeping the model-facing `message` schema canonical. (#88229) Thanks @zhangguiping-xydt.
-- Chat/UI: preserve startup chat sends during history loading, unblock the initial Control UI chat send, stream chat deltas incrementally, skip markdown parsing while streaming, keep drafts local while typing, guard composer rerenders, cache chat transcript renders, record pending-send paint timing, show the Communication Notifications tab, honor Chromium executable overrides, and detect system Chromium for E2E. (#74715, #88952, #88960, #88998) Thanks @VladyslavLevchuk and @vincentkoc.
-- Channels: stop schema-padded poll modifiers from turning normal `send` actions into invalid poll sends. (#89601) Thanks @codezz and @takhoffman.
-- Channels: preserve long Feishu streaming replies, recover failed progress draft starts, send visible fallbacks when accepted Feishu turns produce no final reply, preserve external `sessions_send` routes, persist Discord thread bindings in SQLite, tolerate iMessage self-chat timestamp skew, preserve colon-prefixed slash commands in mention parsing, decode Nostr `npub` allowlists correctly, and suppress raw provider errors during channel delivery. (#87896, #88749, #88803, #88866) Thanks @MonkeyLeeT.
-- Config/status/doctor: skip unresolved shell references in state-dir dotenv files, resolve gateway auth secrets during deep status audits, surface disabled Codex plugin routes in doctor lint, respect explicit PI runtime policy, report runtime tool-schema and gateway health credential errors, clear recovered embedded-run activity, migrate voice-call call logs through doctor, and keep post-upgrade JSON stable. (#88731, #88761, #88820, #88288, #89731) Thanks @brokemac79, @openperf, and @RomneyDa.
-- Gateway/session state: list commands from the Gateway plugin registry, harden MCP loopback tool schemas, hide phantom agent-store rows from `sessions.list`, make task persistence failures explicit, support Tailscale Serve service names, guard Browser/Chrome pending attach aborts, and carry session UUIDs on interactive dispatch events. (#88305) Thanks @rohitjavvadi.
-- Gateway/plugins: narrow plugin lookup memoization to the stable plugin/runtime inputs, avoiding repeated lookup work without mixing disabled or filtered plugin state.
-- OpenAI/TTS: handle speed directives for OpenAI TTS voices. (#74089)
-- CI/Crabbox: keep default runner capacity on the Azure credit-backed on-demand D4 lane with the Azure SSH port and a Git-independent full check job, so broad validation avoids low-priority spot quota stalls, hydrate port mismatches, non-Git hydrated workspaces, and stale AWS region hints.
-- CI/Crabbox: route Crabbox wrapper and Testbox workflow edits to their regression tests so changed-test gates do not silently run zero specs.
-- CI/workflows: route workflow sanity helper edits to their guard tests and cover composite-action input interpolation checks.
-- CI/tooling: route CI scope, dependency, changelog, and docs helper edits to their owner tests instead of silently skipping changed-test coverage.
-- CI/tooling: route package, release, and install helper edits to their owner tests so changed-test gates cover publish and installer script changes.
-- CI/tooling: route shared script library edits through their owner tests so lock, process, safety, and scan helpers do not skip changed-test coverage.
-- CI/tooling: skip expensive import-graph scans once a changed diff already requires broad fallback, keeping local changed-test planning fast while still collecting explicit owner tests.
-- CI/tooling: route script edits through conventional owner tests when matching `test/scripts` or `src/scripts` coverage already exists.
-- CI/tooling: honor option terminators in the memory FD repro script so follow-on arguments are not reparsed.
-- Release/CI/E2E: assert plugin lifecycle runtime inspect output instead of only capturing it.
-- Release/CI/E2E: make gateway-network prove the advertised health RPC and retry early WebSocket closes without burning full open timeouts.
-- Release/CI/E2E: honor option terminators across release, Parallels smoke, plugin gauntlet, and extension-memory scripts.
-- Release/CI/E2E: fail plugin gateway gauntlet QA chunks when the requested suite summary is missing or invalid.
-- Performance: prebuild QA runtime probes with generated plugin assets but without CLI startup metadata.
-- Performance: skip declaration bundling for runtime-only CLI startup and gateway watch build profiles.
-- Performance: reuse prepared provider handles, strict tool schemas, gateway runtime metadata, session maintenance config, plugin metadata, bundled skill allowlists, package-local plugin artifacts, single-entry store writes, and validated/serialized session prompt blobs.

-## 2026.5.28
-
-### Highlights
-
-- Agent and Codex runtime recovery is steadier: subagents keep cwd/workspace separation, hook context stays prompt-local, session locks release on timeout abort while live OpenClaw locks survive cleanup, stale restart continuations are avoided, and Codex app-server/helper failures no longer tear down shared runtime state. (#87218, #86875, #87409, #87399, #87375, #88129)
-- Channel delivery and session identity got safer across outbound plugin hooks, Matrix room ids, iMessage reactions/approvals, Slack final replies, Discord recovered tool warnings, runtime-config message actions, WhatsApp profile auth roots, Telegram polling, and Microsoft Teams service URL trust checks. (#73706, #75670, #87366, #87451, #87334, #84535, #82492, #83304, #87160)
-- Mobile and chat surfaces got a broader refresh: the iOS Pro UI, hosted push relay default, realtime Talk tab playback, Gateway chat transport, onboarding, Talk permissions, WebChat reconnect delivery, and session picker behavior now preserve more state across reconnects and empty searches. (#87367, #87531, #87682, #88096, #88105) Thanks @ngutman and @BunsDev.
-- Browser, channel, and automation inputs are stricter: Browser tool timeouts, viewport/tab indices, Gateway ports, cron retry handling, Discord component ids, schema array refs, Telegram callback pages, and channel progress callbacks now reject malformed values earlier and preserve the intended delivery context. (#82887)
-- Provider, media, and document coverage expands with Claude Opus 4.8, Fal Krea image schemas, NVIDIA featured models, MiniMax streaming music responses, encrypted PDF extraction, voice model catalogs, GitHub Copilot agent runtime support, and a Codex Supervisor plugin path for delegated Codex workflows. (#87845, #87890, #80775, #84764, #87751, #87794)
-- CLI, auth, doctor, and provider paths fail faster and recover more clearly: malformed numeric/version options are rejected, workspace dotenv provider credentials are ignored, heartbeat defaults, OAuth/token lifetimes, and local service startup requests are bounded, agent auth health labels are clearer, legacy `api_key` auth profiles migrate to canonical form, and restart guidance is actionable. (#87398, #86281, #87361, #88133, #83655, #87559, #88088, #85924) Thanks @vincentkoc and @giodl73-repo.
-- Plugin and Gateway hot paths do less repeated work while preserving cache correctness for install records, config JSON parsing, tool search catalogs, session stores, manifest model rows, auto-enabled plugin config, browser tokens, viewer assets, and release-split external plugin packages. (#86699)
-- Release, QA, and E2E validation now bound more log, artifact, harness, and cross-OS waits so failing lanes produce proof instead of hanging or false-greening.

(#73706, #75670, #87366, #87451, #87465, #87334, #84535, #76262, #83304, #82492, #87581, #77114, #86426, #85529, #87160) Thanks @zeroaltitude, @lukeboyett, @jarvis-mns1, @xiaotian, @funmerlin, @joshavant, @eleqtrizit, @heyitsaamir, @amittell, @lidge-jun, @liorb-mountapps, @masatohoshino, @bladin, and @giodl73-repo.
-- CLI/auth/doctor/providers: reject malformed numeric/timeout/subcommand-version inputs, ignore workspace dotenv provider credentials, wait for respawn child shutdown, bound heartbeat defaults plus Codex, GitHub Copilot, OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, Feishu, LM Studio, MiniMax, Xiaomi TTS, and local-provider OAuth/token/model requests, harden Codex auth probes, label auth health by agent, preserve explicit agentRuntime pins during Codex model migration, warm provider auth off the main thread, honor Codex response timeouts, stop migrating current Claude Haiku 4.5 profiles to Sonnet, bound local service startup, resolve GPT-5.5 without cached catalog, migrate legacy memory auto-provider config, rewrite non-canonical `api_key` auth profiles, and make doctor restart follow-ups actionable. (#87398, #86281, #87361, #88133, #83655, #87559, #87719, #88088, #85924, #84362) Thanks @Patrick-Erichsen, @samzong, @giodl73-repo, @alkor2000, @mmaps, @nxmxbbd, and @vincentkoc.
-- Gateway/security/session state: expire browser tokens after auth rotation, scope assistant idempotency dedupe, drain probe client closes, avoid stale restart continuation reuse, preserve retry-after fallbacks and stale rate-limit cooldown probes, bound webchat image and artifact transcript scans, include seconds in inbound metadata timestamps, clear completed session active runs, clear stale chat stream buffers, and evict current plugin-state namespaces at row caps. (#87810, #87833, #75089) Thanks @joshavant and @litang9.
-- Config/parsing/network: reject partial numeric parsing, parse provider/Discord retry headers and dates strictly, honor IPv6 and bare IPv6 `no_proxy` entries, preserve empty plugin allowlists, canonicalize secret target array indexes, and reject malformed media content lengths, inspected TCP ports, marketplace content lengths, cron epochs, sandbox stat fields, unsafe duration values, empty config path segments, noncanonical schema array refs, unsafe Telegram callback pages, and invalid Teams attachment-fetch DNS targets. (#87883) Thanks @zhangguiping-xydt.
-- Browser/input hardening: reject invalid tab indexes, excessive viewport resizes, explicit zero CDP ports, malformed geolocation options, unsafe screenshot or permission-grant timeouts, loose response-body limits, invalid cookie expiries, and non-finite Browser tool delays/timeouts.
-- Cron/automation: retry recurring jobs after transient model rate limits before waiting for the next scheduled slot, and preflight model fallbacks before skipping scheduled work. (#82887) Thanks @chen-zhang-cs-code.
-- Auto-reply/directives: respect provider and relayed channel metadata during directive persistence so channel-originated decisions keep their intended context. (#87683)
-- WhatsApp: resolve the auth directory from the active profile so profile-scoped WhatsApp installs do not drift to the wrong credential root. (#82492) Thanks @lidge-jun.
-- Gateway/session state: clear completed session active runs, avoid cold-loading providers for MCP inventory, cache single-session child indexes, cap handshake timers, and bound preauth, auth-guard, media, transcript, readiness, and port options.
-- Channels/replies: preserve channel-owned progress callbacks when verbose output is off, keep group-room progress suppression intact, prefer external session delivery context, escape Discord component id delimiters, force final TUI chat repaints, show Slack reasoning previews, and normalize Discord/Matrix/Mattermost channel numeric options. (#87476, #87423)
-- Agents/tool args: harden smart-quoted argument repair for edit arrays and exact escaped arguments so model-produced tool calls recover without corrupting valid input. (#86611) Thanks @ferminquant.
-- Providers/agents: preserve seeded Anthropic signatures, preserve signed thinking payloads, concatenate signature-delta chunks, preserve DeepSeek `reasoning_content` replay across tier suffixes, apply OpenRouter strict9 ids to Mistral routes, promote Ollama plain-text tool calls, load NVIDIA featured model catalogs, stream MiniMax music generation responses, and recover empty preflight compaction. (#87593, #87493, #80775, #84764) Thanks @Pluviobyte and @eleqtrizit.
-- Media/images: skip CLI image cache refs when resolving generated images, allow trusted generated HTML attachments, and bound generated video downloads so stale refs and slow providers fail cleanly. (#87523, #87982)
-- File transfer: handle late tar stdin pipe errors after archive validation or unpacking has already settled.
-- Performance: trust install-record caches between reloads, prefer native JSON parsing, reuse unchanged tool-search catalogs, reuse gateway session and plugin metadata paths, skip unchanged store serialization, patch single-entry session writes, add precomputed session patch writers, reduce store clone allocations, cache manifest model catalog rows and auto-enabled plugin config, avoid full session snapshots for entry reads, defer configured Slack full startup, prefer bundled plugin dist entries, and slim current metadata identity caches. (#87760)
-- Docker/release/QA: package runtime workspace templates, stream cross-OS served artifacts, preserve sparse Crabbox run artifacts, isolate npm plugin installs per package, reject incompatible package plugin API installs, drop the leftover root Sharp dependency from package manifests after the Rastermill migration, bound OpenClaw instance logs, plugin gauntlet relay logs, MCP channel buffers, kitchen-sink scans, agent-turn assertions, QA-Lab credential broker calls, QA Matrix substrate requests, and release scenario logs, and keep release/google live guards current. (#87647, #87477) Thanks @rohitjavvadi and @vincentkoc.
-- Release/CI: bound manual git fetches, ClawHub verifier responses, ClawHub owner metadata, dependency-guard error bodies, Parallels limits, startup/test/memory budget parsing, and diffs viewer build warnings so release lanes fail with useful proof instead of hanging. (#87839)
-
-## 2026.5.27
-
-### Highlights
-
-- Safer local/runtime boundaries: OpenClaw now rejects unsafe command wrappers, malformed CLI numeric options, unsafe Node runtime env overrides, no-auth Tailscale exposure, and non-admin device-role pairing approvals before they can affect live runs. (#87308, #87305, #87292, #87146)
-- Matrix and auto-reply delivery are steadier: mention previews stay inert, final mention replies deliver normally, shared-DM notices are awaited, MXID parsing ignores filenames, and reasoning-prefixed `NO_REPLY` responses stay suppressed.
-- Provider and agent reliability improved across OpenAI-compatible embeddings, cached token usage, Anthropic/Codex/Claude runtime state, unsupported tool-schema quarantine, heartbeat templates, and session fallback errors. (#85269, #82062, #85416, #86855)
-- Plugin and package release paths got tighter: Pixverse ships as an external video plugin with region selection, package exclusions and shrinkwrap inventory match the published npm shape, and release/package smoke commands fail bounded instead of hanging.
-- Gateway hot paths do less rediscovery by reusing current plugin metadata fingerprints, stable plugin index fingerprints, read-only session metadata, active working stores, status fast paths, and auth/env snapshots. (#86439)
-
-### Changes
-
-- Memory: add a core OpenAI-compatible embedding provider for local and hosted OpenAI-style endpoints, with config, doctor, and docs support. (#85269) Thanks @dutifulbob.
-- Plugin SDK: mark memory-specific embedding provider registration as deprecated compatibility and surface non-bundled usage in plugin compatibility diagnostics. (#85072) Thanks @mbelinky.
-- Pixverse: add video generation provider support, API region selection, and external plugin publishing.
-- Plugins: expose approval action metadata for plugin-driven approval surfaces.
-
-### Fixes
-
-- Security/CLI/runtime: harden hostname normalization for repeated trailing dots, block side-effecting command wrappers, reject unsafe Node runtime env overrides, reject loose numeric CLI and gateway options, require admin approval for node device-role pairing, and reject no-auth Tailscale exposure. (#87305, #87292, #87308, #87146) Thanks @pgondhi987.
-- Doctor: validate runtime tool schemas for every configured embedded agent while skipping ACP-only profiles, so bad non-default plugin or MCP tools are reported before assistant turns.
-- Telegram: route `sendMessage` action replies through durable outbound delivery so completed agent responses remain retryable when the gateway send path times out. (#87261) Thanks @mbelinky.
-- Matrix/auto-reply: keep draft previews mention-inert, preserve final mention delivery, send mention finals normally, await shared DM notices, ignore filename-embedded MXIDs, and suppress reasoning-prefixed `NO_REPLY` responses.
-- Agents/providers: add OpenAI-compatible cache retention, forward cached token usage in chat completions, preserve runtime context before active user turns, strip stale Anthropic thinking, load Claude CLI OAuth for Pi auth profiles, avoid false Codex runtime live switches, and quarantine unsupported tool schemas. (#82062, #87167, #86855)
-- Gateway/performance: cache plugin metadata fingerprints and stable plugin index fingerprints, borrow read-only session metadata safely, keep the active session working store hot, keep status on a bounded fast path, and preserve model auth profile suffixes. (#86439)
-- Package/install/release: align npm package exclusions and inventory, omit unpacked test helpers, skip Homebrew until macOS packages need it, cap tsdown heap in containers, bound install/release smoke waits, and harden post-publish verification.
-- Codex/Auth: bound ChatGPT OAuth token exchange and refresh requests, and honor cancellation across Codex and Anthropic OAuth login flows.
-- QA/E2E/CI: bound Telegram, kitchen-sink, Open WebUI, ClawHub, MCP, Discord, realtime, labeler, and GitHub API waits; fail empty explicit test, live-media, gateway CPU, startup benchmark, plugin gauntlet, and beta-smoke runs instead of false-greening.
-- Agents/Codex: keep spawned agent bootstrap files rooted in the agent workspace while running task commands, transcripts, and compaction from the requested cwd. (#87218) Thanks @mbelinky.
-
-## 2026.5.26
-
-### Highlights
-
-- Faster Gateway and replies: startup avoids repeated plugin, channel, session, usage-cost, warning, scheduled-service, and filesystem scans; visible replies separate user-facing sends from slower follow-up work; Gateway runtime/session caches churn less under load.
-- Transcripts are core: transcript-backed meeting summaries, source-provider chunks, cleaned user turns, media provenance, Codex mirrors, WebChat replies, and CLI/TUI replay now use one more reliable transcript path.
-- More channels are production-ready: Telegram keeps typing/progress context and forum topics, iMessage handles attachment roots, remote media staging, and duplicate local Messages sources, WhatsApp restores group/media behavior, Discord improves voice playback and model picking, and Signal/iMessage/WhatsApp get reaction approvals.
-- Better voice and Talk: realtime Talk runs can be inspected, steered, cancelled, or followed up from Web UI and Discord voice; wake-name handling is more tolerant without letting ambient speech trigger agents.
-- Safer content boundaries: Browser snapshot reads honor SSRF policy, system-event text cannot spoof nested prompt markers, fetched file text is wrapped as external content, ClickClack inbound sender allowlists run before agent dispatch, stale device tokens are rejected, and serialized tool-call text is scrubbed from replies.
-- Providers, Codex, and local models are steadier: named auth profiles, OpenAI sampling params, Codex app-server resume/timeout/usage-limit recovery, dynamic tool-schema guards, xAI usage-limit surfacing, Ollama top-p normalization, and local approval resolution reduce provider-specific dead ends.
-- More reliable install/update/release paths: Alpine installs, trusted runtime fallback roots, stable update channels, Docker/package timeouts, Windows Scheduled Tasks, Windows/macOS proof lanes, Testbox/Crabbox delegation, plugin publish checks, and macOS runner bootstraps all got hardened.
-- Better observability: Activity tab, gateway secret-prep traces, tool/model stream progress, explicit fast-mode status, systemd Gateway hygiene, OpenTelemetry LLM spans, release performance evidence, and richer telemetry signals make failures easier to inspect.
-
-### Changes
-
-- Transcripts: add core transcript capture and source-provider support for transcript-backed meeting summaries, including the renamed Transcripts docs, CLI surface, source-provider chunks, and cleaned user-turn persistence.
-- Auth: add named model login profiles and supported credential migration for Hermes, OpenCode, and Codex auth profiles, with explicit opt-out and non-interactive controls. (#85667) Thanks @fuller-stack-dev.
-- Diagnostics: trace gateway secret preparation, classify skill/tool usage, surface model stream progress, add OpenTelemetry LLM content spans, and expose alertable telemetry for blocked tools, failover, stale sessions, liveness, oversized payloads, and webhook ingress. (#83019, #80370, #86191)
-- Channels: add Signal reaction approvals, iMessage thumb approval reactions, and WhatsApp thumb approval reaction support so mobile approval flows work without textual `/approve` commands. (#85894, #85952, #85477)
-- Agents/API: forward OpenAI sampling params through the Gateway and expose estimated context-budget status for active agent runs. (#84094)
-- TUI/status: queue prompts submitted while an agent is busy and show explicit fast-mode state plus richer systemd Gateway hygiene in status output. (#86722, #87115, #86976)
-- Exec approvals: hide durable approval actions that are unavailable for the current prompt and keep approval runtime tokens local-only so stale prompts cannot offer misleading controls. (#86270, #86359)
-- Plugin SDK: add reaction approval helpers and keep diagnostic event root exports discoverable across function-name and alias-bound module graphs. (#86735, #87084)
-- Android/iOS: add the Android pair-new-gateway action and improve mobile Talk mode surfaces, including iOS realtime Talk mode and Android offline voice/gateway recovery. (#86798, #86355) Thanks @ngutman.
-- Performance: cache plugin metadata snapshots, package realpaths, stable gateway metadata, model cost indexes, channel resolution, usage-cost indexes, and session/auth hot-path facts so common Gateway and reply paths do less rediscovery. (#84649, #85843, #86517, #86678)
-- Voice: expose shared realtime turn-context tracking through the realtime voice SDK and reuse it for Discord speaker attribution and wake-name context recovery.
-- Voice: reuse shared realtime output activity tracking in Google Meet command and node audio bridges, including recent-output checks for local barge-in detection.
-- Voice: expose shared realtime output activity tracking through the realtime voice SDK and reuse it for Discord playback activity and barge-in decisions.
-- Voice: expose shared realtime consult question matching, speakable-result extraction, and alias-aware forced-consult coordination through the realtime voice SDK, then reuse it in Gateway Talk, Voice Call, and Discord voice paths.
-- Voice: share activation-name matching and consult-transcript screening through the realtime voice SDK so Discord, browser voice, and meeting surfaces can reuse one implementation.
-- Cron: default `cron.maxConcurrentRuns` to 8 so scheduled automations and their isolated agent turns can make progress in parallel without explicit configuration.
 - QA-Lab: add `qa coverage --match <query>` so focused proof selection can discover matching scenarios from existing metadata before running live or remote lanes.
-- Discord/model picker: surface an alpha-bucket select (e.g. `A–G (12) · H–N (18) · O–Z (5)`) when the provider list or a provider's model list exceeds 25 items, so configs with `provider/*` wildcards stay one click from the right page instead of paginating through prev/next; falls back to numeric chunks when every item shares the same first letter. (#86181) Thanks @rendrag-git.
 - Control UI: add an ephemeral Activity tab for sanitized live tool activity summaries without persisting raw telemetry. Fixes #12831. Thanks @BunsDev.
 - Build: include `ui:build` in the `full` and `ciArtifacts` profiles of `scripts/build-all.mjs` so `pnpm build` always rebuilds `dist/control-ui` after `tsdown` cleans `dist`, removing the second-command requirement and the missing-asset failure mode for source/runtime installs and CI artifact uploads. (#85206)
+- Migrate: import supported Hermes, OpenCode, and Codex auth credentials into OpenClaw auth profiles when credential migration is selected, with explicit opt-out and non-interactive controls. (#85667) Thanks @fuller-stack-dev.
 - iOS: improve Talk mode with direct realtime voice sessions, compact toolbar status, and responsive voice waveform feedback. (#86355) Thanks @ngutman.
-- Media: replace the Sharp image backend with Rastermill for metadata, resizing, EXIF orientation, and PNG alpha-preserving optimization so OpenClaw no longer installs Sharp or the WhatsApp Jimp fallback for image processing. (#86437)
-- Codex: update the bundled Codex CLI to 0.134.0 and keep native compaction disabled for budget-triggered app-server turns so OpenClaw owns the recovery boundary. (#86772)
 
 ### Fixes
 
-- Memory/security: reject prompt-like text submitted through the explicit `memory_store` tool before embedding or storage, matching the existing auto-capture prompt-injection filter. (#87142)
-- Gateway/security: enable the default auth rate limiter for remote non-browser and HTTP gateway auth failures when `gateway.auth.rateLimit` is unset, while preserving the loopback exemption. (#87148)
-- Prompt hardening: route untrusted group prompt metadata through sanitized untrusted structured context while preserving trusted operator-configured group system prompts and aligning the plugin SDK docs/test helpers. (#87144)
-- Security/content boundaries: validate Browser snapshot tab URLs against SSRF policy before ChromeMCP or direct CDP reads, sanitize queued system-event text so untrusted plugin/channel labels cannot spoof nested prompt markers, wrap fetched file text and metadata as external content, apply ClickClack `allowFrom` sender allowlists before agent dispatch, reject RPCs from invalidated device-token clients during rotation, require staged sandbox media refs, and scrub serialized tool-call text from replies. (#78526, #87094, #87062, #83741, #70707, #86924) Thanks @zsxsoft, @ttzero25, and @mmaps.
-- Transcripts/user turns: persist CLI, WebChat, media, follow-up, hook, and Codex-mirror user turns to the admitted session target; keep cleaned transcript text, inline image routing, provenance metadata, replay hooks, and fallback paths idempotent when runtimes fail or restart.
-- TUI/status/onboarding/UI: queue busy TUI prompts instead of dropping them, preserve the configured default model during onboarding, show failed tool results as errors, show config-open failures in Control UI, keep status JSON plugin scans healthy, preserve xAI usage-limit errors locally, and expose explicit fast-mode/systemd state. (#86722, #87000, #85786, #87108, #87001, #86614, #87115, #86976)
-- Plugin commands/SDK: preserve plugin LLM command auth, bind native plugin command dispatch to the host agent's LLM auth, keep `onDiagnosticEvent` exports discoverable through `Function.name`, stabilize diagnostic event root aliases, correlate pathless read diagnostics, suppress transient runner failures in channel command paths, and repair local approval resolution. (#85936, #87084, #86977, #87069, #86771)
-- Codex/providers: keep WebChat delivery hints out of user prompts, avoid false queued-terminal idle timeouts, share the native hook relay registry, quarantine unsupported dynamic tool schemas, preserve Claude resumed-session system prompts, normalize greedy Ollama `top_p`, preserve per-agent thinking defaults for ingress runs, and avoid native compaction takeover on budget-triggered Codex turns. (#87096, #73950, #87049, #86689, #86772)
-- Gateway/perf/release: reuse startup-warning metadata and prepared auth stores, avoid cloning live-switch and lifecycle session caches on read paths, defer warning and scheduled-service fallback imports, trim Gateway session/startup/runtime CPU churn, skip duplicate turn session touches, stop chat timeout fallback cascades, drop stale subagent announce history, bound benchmark/watch/kitchen-sink teardown waits, bound macOS/package/onboarding/plugin smoke commands, bound install finalization probes, resolve Parallels npm-update commands from guest `PATH`, and bootstrap raw AWS macOS Node/pnpm commands through `/usr/bin/env`. (#86997)
-- Reply/perf: reduce visible reply delivery latency by preserving Telegram typing/progress context, lazy-loading slash-command startup metadata, avoiding hot-path model hydration, flag-gating Codex profiler timing, deferring context compaction maintenance, and tracking delivery timing. (#86989, #86990, #86991, #86992, #86993, #86994) Thanks @keshavbotagent.
-- Reply/source delivery: keep TUI, Control UI, media, TTS, transcript, and Codex source-reply finals live without duplicate terminal events or stale replay artifacts.
-- Agents/replay: repair legacy tool results before replay, preserve `sessions_spawn` transcript payloads, restore current guard checks, stage sandboxed workspace media, and keep duplicate transcripts tool display metadata from reappearing. (#82203, #86934, #87025) Thanks @martingarramon, @vincentkoc, and @joshavant.
-- Agents/sessions: handle active-fallback failures in `sessions_send` so fallback routing reports the real failure and does not leave callers with an ambiguous dropped send. (#86638)
-- Agents/hooks/subagents: enforce default hook agent allowlists, recover failed subagent lifecycle completions, and keep node task lifecycle cleanup from closing the Gateway listener. (#86101)
-- Codex: project newer OpenClaw chat history into resumed app-server threads and keep Codex turn timeouts inside the Codex runtime boundary so timeouts do not poison shared app-server clients or fall through to unrelated provider fallback. (#86677, #86476) Thanks @TurboTheTurtle and @pashpashpash.
-- Config/doctor/update: narrow profiled tool-section doctor repair, keep runtime-injected legacy web-search provider config out of user-authored config validation, and keep prerelease tags excluded from stable updater resolution. (#87030, #86818, #86559) Thanks @joshavant, @luoyanglang, and @stevenepalmer.
-- Doctor/runtime: validate active bundled MCP tool schemas through the same runtime projection path so unsupported MCP input schemas are reported and quarantined instead of poisoning assistant startup.
-- CLI/Windows: add a Windows-only stack-size respawn for stack-heavy startup paths, default CLI logs to local timestamps, and validate timeout/banner TTY state more strictly. (#87031, #85387) Thanks @giodl73-repo and @vincentkoc.
-- Locking/security: require owner identity proof before stale plugin lock removal, memoize session lock owner arguments, and avoid writing default exec approval stores unless policy state actually changed. (#86814, #86964) Thanks @Alix-007 and @vincentkoc.
-- Install/release: bound Docker package build, inventory, pack, and tarball preparation with process-group timeouts; pin shrinkwrap patch drift to the pnpm lock; harden macOS restart and dSYM packaging; and run release Docker/live timeout wrappers in the foreground so child processes cannot wedge gates.
-- QA/Telegram: bound Telegram user credential tar and broker calls so live proof setup fails with a timeout instead of waiting for the outer Crabbox job deadline.
-- QA/Tool Search: bound gateway E2E HTTP probes, run only the fixture plugin, and clean up temporary fixture trees after the compact tool-catalog proof completes.
-- Telegram/network: treat `ENETDOWN` as a transient pre-connect network failure so Telegram sends, gateway unhandled-rejection handling, and cron network retries follow the same recovery path as sibling network outages. (#86762) Thanks @TurboTheTurtle.
-- Telegram: preserve inbound text entities, overlapping DM replies, account topic cache sidecars, outbound reply context, targeted bot-command mentions, durable group retry targets, forum topic names, and native progress callbacks. (#83873, #85361, #85555, #85656, #85709, #86299, #86553) Thanks @SebTardif, @luoyanglang, and @neeravmakwana.
-- iMessage: read image attachments from local Messages attachment roots, dedupe duplicate local Messages-source accounts, seed direct DM history, fix image/group media attachment commands, advance catchup cursors after live handling, and keep slash-command acknowledgements in the source conversation. (#82642, #85475, #86569, #86705, #86706, #86770) Thanks @homer-byte, @TurboTheTurtle, @swang430, and @OmarShahine.
-- WhatsApp/QQ/Twitch/IRC/Slack: restore WhatsApp ack identity and group-drop warnings, make QQ Bot media respect `OPENCLAW_HOME`, serialize Twitch auth disconnects, store IRC channel routes canonically, and keep Slack downloaded files out of reply media. (#83833, #85309, #85777, #85794, #85906, #86318, #86697) Thanks @sliverp, @neeravmakwana, and @Kailigithub.
-- Discord/voice: improve voice playback and wake replies, bucket large model picker menus, merge media captions into one message, route metadata through configured proxies, restore numeric channel sends, suppress self-reply echoes, and tighten wake matching without breaking fuzzy wake phrases. (#80227, #86238, #86487, #86571, #86595, #86601)
-- Codex: preserve native web-search metadata, keep oversized native thread reuse, bridge CLI API-key auth into the app server, preserve sandbox bootstrap path style, recover context-window prompt errors, honor yolo approval policy, disable native thread personality, and route compaction through Codex auth. (#85378, #85542, #85891, #85909, #86408)
-- Agents/runtime: enforce session lock max-hold reclaim, release embedded-attempt locks on all exits, treat aborted subagent runs as terminal, avoid runtime model hydration on hot paths, disclose scoped session list counts, derive overflow budgets from provider errors, and keep fallback errors scoped to the active model candidate. (#70473, #85764, #86014, #86134, #86427, #86944) Thanks @openperf, @fuller-stack-dev, @zhangguiping-xydt, and @ferminquant.
-- Config/update/doctor: retry config recovery after failed backup restore, skip shell env fallback on Windows, exclude prerelease tags from the stable git channel, support deep config edits, warn instead of aborting on unreadable cron stores, prune stale bundled plugin paths, and avoid duplicate restart prompts when the Gateway is already healthy. (#85739, #85787, #86060, #86260, #86384, #86533) Thanks @liaoyl830.
-- Install/release: support Alpine CLI installs and runtime floors, prefer trusted startup argv runtime fallback roots, reject stale CLI node runtimes, avoid npm `min-release-age` installer failures, bound npm/package/Docker install phases, restore config parent ownership in Docker, seed Docker lockfile package tarballs before prune, make release/plugin prerelease checks fail closed instead of hanging or false-greening, and use host-visible Crabbox local work roots for Docker-backed proof. (#85491)
-- Windows daemon: keep Scheduled Task gateway launches running on battery power and avoid workgroup-machine prompts for a domain user during task installation. (#59299)
-- Security: avoid printing Gateway tokens in Docker, validate plugin model-pattern regexes safely, escape transcript metadata field names, harden session allowlist glob matching, audit Claude permission overrides under YOLO, and require explicit allow for ACP auto approvals. (#85849, #85934, #86046, #86557)
-- Media/images: replace Sharp with Rastermill, keep EXIF normalization best-effort, normalize HEIC/HEIF before image descriptions, route Codex image API keys through OpenAI, preserve image compression metadata, and auto-scale live tool result caps. (#85776, #86037, #86437, #86857, #86923)
-- Memory: prevent semantic vector indexes from silently degrading when embeddings are unavailable, stop doctor OOMs on large session stores, preserve sidecar hooks/artifacts, write fallback dream diaries, use CJK-aware dreaming dedupe, and avoid per-file watcher FD fan-out. (#80613, #82928, #85060, #85704, #85967, #86701) Thanks @brokemac79, @openperf, and @yaaboo-gif.
-- Agents/sessions: include visibility metadata on restricted `sessions_list` results so scoped counts are clearly reported without widening access or exposing hidden-session counts. (#86944) Thanks @ferminquant.
-- Gateway/DNS: validate wide-area discovery domains before deriving zone paths or writing zone files, so invalid `discovery.wideArea.domain` and `dns setup --domain` values fail with a DNS-name diagnostic instead of falling through to unrelated configuration errors. Thanks @mmaps.
-- Agents/BTW: route fallback side-question streams through the embedded stream resolver so Anthropic-compatible MiniMax requests use the same capped transport as normal chat. (#86312) Thanks @neeravmakwana.
-- Telegram: treat `/command@TargetBot` bot-command entities as explicit mentions for the addressed bot so `requireMention` groups no longer drop targeted commands or captions. Fixes #84462. (#86553) Thanks @luoyanglang.
-- CI: bound Docker/Bash E2E tarball npm installs with `OPENCLAW_E2E_NPM_INSTALL_TIMEOUT` so package, onboarding, plugin, and upgrade lanes fail instead of hanging on a stuck npm install.
-- CI: fail Parallels npm-update smoke jobs after the guest command timeout and cleanup backstop instead of only logging a timeout line.
-- CI: bound kitchen-sink RPC HTTP probes so stalled gateway readiness or response bodies fail and retry instead of wedging the walker.
-- CI: bound Telegram user Crabbox proof Bot API calls so stalled Telegram responses fail instead of wedging credential and desktop proof cleanup.
-- CI: bound MCP channel stdio client initialization so Docker channel proof fails and closes the bridge transport instead of waiting for the outer job timeout.
-- CI: keep `OPENCLAW_TESTBOX=1 pnpm check:changed` delegating to Blacksmith Testbox through Crabbox without forwarding local Testbox or worker env into the remote command.
-- CI: send KILL after the TERM grace period for manual checkout fetch timeouts so stuck Testbox and workflow checkout retries cannot hang behind a wedged `git fetch`.
-- CI: send KILL after the TERM grace period for Bun global install smoke command timeouts so trapped `openclaw` child processes cannot wedge the scheduled install smoke.
-- iMessage: thread current channel/account inbound attachment roots into the image tool so iMessage-saved attachments under `~/Library/Messages/Attachments` (including the wildcard `/Users/*/Library/Messages/Attachments` root) are read through the existing inbound path policy instead of being rejected as `path-not-allowed`. Literal `localRoots` stays workspace-scoped. Fixes #30170. (#86569)
-- QQ Bot: respect `OPENCLAW_HOME` for outbound media path resolution so `<qqmedia>` sends no longer silently fail when `HOME` and `OPENCLAW_HOME` differ (Docker / multi-user hosts). Persisted QQ Bot data (sessions, known users, refs) stays anchored on the OS home for upgrade compatibility. Fixes #83562. Thanks @sliverp.
-- Update: report the primary malformed `openclaw.extensions` payload error without adding a duplicate missing-main diagnostic. (#86596) Thanks @ferminquant.

-- Tests: clean successful plugin gateway gauntlet isolated temp roots while keeping an explicit preservation switch for failed/debug runs.
-- Plugins/perf: reuse derived plugin metadata snapshots for the lifetime of the process so reply-time skill setup no longer rescans plugin metadata on every turn.
-- Discord/OpenAI voice: keep wake-name master consults using the current speaker context after ignored ambient transcripts and shorten the default capture silence grace.
-- Doctor: skip redundant Gateway restart prompts when a recent supervisor restart leaves the Gateway healthy. Fixes #86518. (#86533) Thanks @liaoyl830.
-- Cron: restore suspended cron lanes to the configured/default concurrency instead of falling back to one after quota or circuit-breaker auto-resume.
-- Gateway: keep session-only Control UI tool-start mirrors flowing during diagnostic queue pressure instead of silently dropping non-terminal tool updates.
-- Agents/memory: return optional not-found context for missing date-only daily memory reads instead of logging benign first-run `ENOENT` failures. Fixes #82928. Thanks @galiniliev.
-- Discord: merge streamed text captions into following media block replies so captions and attachments send as one message. (#86487) Thanks @neeravmakwana.
-- Gateway: avoid sending duplicate tool-event frames to Control UI connections that are subscribed by both run and session.
-- Discord/OpenAI voice: accept broader edge-position fuzzy wake-name transcripts while keeping ambient speech gated.
-- Discord/OpenAI voice: accept longer leading wake-name mistranscripts such as "Open Club" for OpenClaw.

-- Kilo Gateway: send string `stop` sequences as arrays so Kilo accepts OpenAI-compatible chat completions. (#86461) Thanks @SebTardif.
-- Discord/OpenAI voice: accept leading fuzzy wake-name transcripts such as "Monty" or "Moti" for a Molty agent while keeping ambient speech gated.
-- Media understanding: convert HEIC and HEIF images to JPEG before image description providers run so iPhone photos work in direct and configured image-description flows. (#86037)
-- Agents: release embedded-attempt session locks from outer teardown so post-prompt exceptions cannot wedge later requests behind `SessionWriteLockTimeoutError`. Fixes #86014. Thanks @openperf.
 - Discord/OpenAI voice: rotate Realtime sessions at provider max duration without logging the expected session-expiry event as an error.
-- Sessions: skip metadata-only entries during QMD-slugified session lookup so one incomplete row does not block transcript hit resolution. (#86327) Thanks @abnershang.
-- Agents/media: derive bundled plugin local-media trust from plugin tool metadata instead of importing the full plugin registry on subscription paths. (#84409) Thanks @samzong.
-- Image tool: keep config-backed custom-provider API keys usable for auto-discovered vision models, including deferred image-tool execution without env keys or auth profiles. (#85733)
 - Memory/local embeddings: run local GGUF embeddings in an isolated worker sidecar and degrade to configured fallback or keyword search on worker failure so native embedding crashes do not take down the Gateway. (#85348) Thanks @osolmaz.
 - Gateway: clear the runtime config snapshot before `SIGUSR1` in-process restarts so config changes survive the next gateway loop. (#86388) Thanks @XuZehan-iCenter.
 - Models: show OAuth delegation markers as configured `models.json` auth while keeping runtime route usability checks strict. (#86378) Thanks @rohitjavvadi.
 - Cron: seed active scheduled and manual cron task rows with a progress summary so status surfaces do not look blank while jobs run. (#86313) Thanks @ferminquant.
-- Cron: preserve unsupported persisted cron payload rows during routine store writes while keeping those rows non-runnable. Fixes #84922. (#86415) Thanks @IWhatsskill.
 - Updater: exclude prerelease git tags from stable channel resolution so source updates do not check out newer alpha/rc/preview/canary tags. (#86260) Thanks @stevenepalmer.
-- Security/Audit: flag webhook `hooks.token` reuse of active Gateway password auth in `openclaw security audit` while keeping password-mode startup compatibility. (#84338) Thanks @coygeek.
-- QQBot: derive the outbound reply watchdog from configured agent and provider timeouts so slow local model replies are not cut off at five minutes. Fixes #85267. (#85271) Thanks @SymbolStar.
 - Agents/heartbeat: stop heartbeat turns after the first valid `heartbeat_respond` so repeated response loops do not burn tokens. (#86357) Thanks @udaymanish6.
-- Tasks: keep retained lost tasks out of default status health counts, explain their cleanup window during maintenance, and prune lost task records after 24 hours instead of the general 7-day terminal retention.
 - Memory-core: keep REM dreaming focused on live light-staged memories and mark staged entries as considered so old recall history no longer dominates fresh candidates. (#86302) Thanks @SebTardif.
-- Memory: abort sync instead of downgrading an existing semantic vector index to FTS-only when the configured embedding provider is temporarily unavailable. (#85704) Thanks @yaaboo-gif.
 - Telegram: propagate forum topic names through the account-scoped topic cache for native command context and topic create/edit actions. (#86299) Thanks @SebTardif.
 - Slack: keep downloaded read-only files out of reply media so Slack file reads do not echo files back to the conversation. (#86318) Thanks @neeravmakwana.
 - Cron: accept leading-plus relative durations such as `+5m` for one-shot `--at` schedules. (#86341) Thanks @mushuiyu886.
 - Agents/media: preserve async-started media tool metadata so background generation starts no longer surface generic incomplete-turn warnings while replay stays unsafe. (#85933) Thanks @fuller-stack-dev.
 - Docker E2E: dedupe scheduler lane resources so npm/service package lanes are not over-counted and serialized unnecessarily.
-- QA/diagnostics: add a collector-backed OpenTelemetry smoke lane, make the OTLP payload leak check scenario-aware, and keep source QA builds from failing on optional dependency imports resolved through pnpm's temp module path.
 - Crabbox: bootstrap Git metadata for sparse remote changed gates so raw synced workspaces can run `pnpm check:changed` from the intended diff.
 - xAI/LM Studio: avoid buffering ordinary bracketed or `final` prose until stream completion while watching for plain-text tool-call fallbacks.
 - Doctor: warn and continue when the cron job store exists but cannot be read so later health checks still run. Fixes #86102. (#86384) Thanks @1052326311.
 - Discord: suppress a bot's previous reply body and referenced media from prompt context when a user replies to that bot message, while keeping reply metadata for routing. (#86238) Thanks @fuller-stack-dev.
-- Discord: restore bare numeric channel IDs for outbound message-tool sends while keeping explicit DM targets unambiguous. (#86571) Thanks @joshavant.
 - Docker E2E: avoid rebuilding the Control UI twice while preparing the shared OpenClaw package tarball for package-backed scenario runs.
 - Tests: avoid rebuilding the Control UI twice during the installer Docker smoke now that `pnpm build` includes `ui:build`.
-- Tests: give QA config mutation RPCs enough native Windows budget to finish gateway config writes and restart settle after hot scenario runs.
-- Tests: keep the gateway restart-inflight QA scenario focused on restart recovery on native Windows by allowing expected embedded prompt handoff errors and using the Windows-safe timeout budget.
-- QA-Lab: make the synthetic OpenAI provider honor generic `reply exactly:` directives after required kickoff reads so restart-recovery scenarios do not fall through to generic repo-summary prose.
-- Gateway: abort active `agent` RPC runs during forced restart shutdown so stale in-process turns cannot keep writing a session after the Gateway lifecycle restarts.
-- Crabbox: sync clean sparse worktrees through a temporary full checkout even when reusing an existing lease so tracked build-time files are not omitted.
 - Build: route `scripts/ui.js` through the shared pnpm runner and keep Control UI chunking helpers in sparse-included source so native Windows Corepack builds can produce `dist/control-ui`.
-- Tests: give the memory fallback QA scenario enough turn budget to exercise native Windows gateway runs instead of failing on the client timeout while the mock agent is still dispatching.
 - Tests: collect QA gateway CPU/RSS metrics on native Windows and give the channel baseline enough turn budget to report slow gateway runs instead of timing out before proof.
 - Install/update: bypass npm `min-release-age` policies with `--min-release-age=0` instead of `--before` so hosted installers keep working on npm versions that reject the combined config. (#84749) Thanks @TeodoroRodrigo.
-- Diagnostics: reclaim wedged session lanes when stale active-run bookkeeping blocks queued work despite no forward progress. Fixes #85639. Thanks @openperf.
 - WebChat: keep message-tool replies visible in the chat while still summarizing internal tool results for the model. Fixes #86347. Thanks @shakkernerd.
 - Gateway/perf: fail startup benchmark samples when the Gateway process exits before benchmark teardown, including signal deaths after readiness probes.
 - Gateway/perf: fail restart benchmark samples when the Gateway exits before benchmark teardown, including clean exits and signal deaths after successful restart probes.

+### Fixes
+
+- Installer: let the local-prefix CLI installer use Alpine's `apk` Node.js, npm, and Git packages on musl Linux instead of downloading glibc Node tarballs that fail `node:sqlite`.
+- Checks: prefilter tracked conflict-marker scans so changed checks avoid reading every repository file on clean runs.
+- Plugins: allow linked local plugin paths to probe TypeScript source entries without requiring compiled package output, restoring source-checkout plugin development on native Windows.
+- CLI: route source-checkout build output to stderr before launching OpenClaw commands so stale local builds do not corrupt `--json` stdout.
+- Installer: install Node.js through `apk` on Alpine Linux instead of falling through to the NodeSource package-manager path.
+- Agents/perf: cache manifest-backed CLI provider descriptors and fallback provider resolution so model fallback retries avoid repeated bundled provider runtime scans while still invalidating across plugin reloads.
+- Installer: detect musl Linux shells such as Alpine as Linux instead of rejecting them before npm install.
+- Windows: run direct Node package scripts with env overrides through a cross-platform launcher so gateway, TUI, Docker-all, generated-module formatting, and optional Discord native opus installer entrypoints work on native Windows.
+- Tests: run Vitest import timing entrypoints through a Node wrapper so native Windows package scripts can collect import diagnostics.
+- Control UI: split large build-time runtime dependencies into stable chunks so Linux/Docker install and package builds stay below the app chunk warning threshold.
+- Tests: run `test:max` and `test:changed:max` through a Node wrapper so high-worker Vitest entrypoints work on native Windows.
+- Tests: retry transient loopback HTTP resets in the kitchen-sink RPC walk so native Windows readiness probes do not fail after the gateway is already ready.
+- Tests: run `test:serial` through a Node wrapper so targeted serial Vitest commands work on native Windows.
+- Tests: normalize Vitest config path assertions so the infra config suite runs on native Windows paths.
+- Installer: avoid the incompatible generated `--before` install filter when raw npm `min-release-age` config is present. (#85491) Thanks @TurboTheTurtle.
+- Agents/MCP: bound bundled MCP `tools/list` catalog discovery so hung MCP servers do not block session tool materialization. (#85063) Thanks @nxmxbbd.
+- Channels/iMessage: recover malformed anchorless group watch payloads by GUID before debounce/routing, and drop unrecoverable payloads instead of replying to the sender DM. Fixes #84470. Refs #84503. Thanks @zhangguiping-xydt and @zqchris.
+- Channels/iMessage: advance the startup catchup cursor from live-handled rows after a completed catchup pass, including rows received while catchup is still running, so restarts do not replay them. (#85475) Thanks @TurboTheTurtle.
+- Tests: mount the shared Windows command helper into bare Docker E2E harness containers so published upgrade-survivor config walks can start on Linux.
+- Tests: keep the plugin binding command escape Docker smoke focused on its intended Vitest cases and skip source-only install lifecycle scripts.
+- Tests: let the generic plugin install E2E assertions use a configurable temp root and Windows home-relative install paths.
+- Tests: keep kitchen-sink plugin assertion fixtures on a configurable temp root so native Windows runs no longer skip full-surface diagnostic coverage.
+- Tests: fail Gateway startup benchmarks when a child startup never produces ready probes or process metrics instead of reporting all `n/a` samples as passing.
+- Config/secrets: allow exec SecretRef ids to include `#` selectors so AWS-style `secret#json_key` ids validate consistently. (#80731) Thanks @TurboTheTurtle.
+- Tests: keep the Telegram user credential helper on platform temp and path APIs so native Windows credential export and restore commands do not write through POSIX-only paths.
+- Installer: include the optional verify phase in the progress counter so `--verify` shows `[4/4] Verifying installation` instead of `[4/3]`.
+- Crabbox: let the wrapper find a sibling Crabbox checkout from linked Git worktrees so Codex worktrees can run remote gates without a PATH shim.
+- CI: tolerate the standard `--` option separator in shared helper flag parsing so perf and test commands accept package-manager argument forwarding.
+- Tests: preserve `--` passthrough arguments in live-media, live-shard, and extension batch harnesses so Vitest filters are not misread or silently ignored.
+- Crabbox: default AWS macOS runner requests to on-demand capacity so EC2 Mac proof commands do not fail on the unsupported Spot market default.
+- Tests: run upgrade-survivor config recipe commands through the Windows npm shim so native Windows package walks keep baseline config coverage.
+- Image tool: use bundled Anthropic media limits when resolving image compression policy without provider-runtime hooks.
+- Tests: fail the kitchen-sink RPC Docker walk when gateway RSS sampling is unavailable instead of silently disabling the per-process memory guard.
+- Tests: suppress the current Rolldown plugin timing warning format in the Vitest wrapper so tiny focused runs do not drown useful stderr in repeated build-timing noise.
+- Models/OpenRouter: use endpoint-specific OpenRouter context limits from `top_provider` metadata so provider-routed models no longer overstate available context. (#85949) Thanks @TurboTheTurtle.
+- Crabbox: sync clean sparse-checkout remote changed gates from a temporary full checkout with local-only commits overlaid as worktree changes so git-backed script checks can seed the runner repository.
+- Agents: avoid loading bundled channel plugins while resolving completion delivery policy and queue defaults on subagent handoff paths.
+- Tests: allow split Vitest config shards through the explicit-target preflight so CI shard jobs run their intended projects.
+- Tests: make startup memory and startup bench smoke scripts build CLI startup artifacts when run from a fresh source checkout.
+- iMessage: mark authorized slash-command turns as text-sourced commands so `/status`, `/new`, and `/restart` acknowledgements return to the source conversation. (#82642) thanks @homer-byte.
+- Crabbox: install Corepack shims into the writable hydration `PNPM_HOME` so local AWS runner hydration no longer tries to overwrite `/usr/local/bin/pnpm`.
+- Live tests: fail Gateway live model sweeps when selected coverage is lost to timeouts or stale high-signal filters instead of reporting false missing-profile coverage, and pin Docker OpenAI gateway coverage to the current `gpt-5.5` lane.
+- Tests: fail Docker resource-ceiling checks when stats samples or configured limits are invalid instead of silently reporting zero peaks.
+- Agents: fail closed when provider-less session models match multiple provider-prefixed runtime policies so CLI runtime routing no longer depends on config order. (#85970) Thanks @potterdigital.
+- Control UI/agents: keep collapsed tool rows readable without early ellipses, preserve raw expanded tool details, and make post-compaction AGENTS.md reinjection opt-in to avoid duplicated project context. Fixes #45649 and #45488. Thanks @BunsDev.

 ### Changes
 
+- iMessage: support thumb-approval reactions — `👍` (Like tapback) resolves an approval as `allow-once` and `👎` resolves as `deny`, with the explicit-approver allowlist read from `channels.imessage.allowFrom`; `allow-always` stays on the manual `/approve <id> allow-always` text fallback. Mirrors the WhatsApp behavior from #85477.
 - Gateway/perf: reuse process-stable channel catalog reads, avoid repeated bundled-channel boundary checks, and rotate gateway watch CPU profiles so benchmark runs do not accumulate unbounded artifacts.
+- Gateway/perf: cache stable install-record, channel-catalog, bundled-channel, and Telegram session-store metadata during process-local hot paths to reduce repeated JSON and manifest reads.
 - Gateway/perf: reuse immutable plugin metadata snapshots across startup, config, model, channel, setup, and secret metadata readers so hot paths avoid repeated plugin file stats and manifest registry reloads.
+- Talk/realtime: let WebUI and Discord voice callers ask for active OpenClaw run status, cancel, steer, or queue follow-up work while a consult is still running. (#84231) Thanks @Solvely-Colin.
+- Discord/voice: add realtime wake-name gating with agent-name defaults and raise profile bootstrap context budget for longer `USER.md`/`SOUL.md` files.
 - Gateway/perf: lazy-load startup-idle plugin work, core gateway method handlers, and the embedded ACPX runtime so Gateway health and ready signals no longer wait on unused handler trees or ACPX probes.
 - Gateway/perf: cache plugin SDK public-surface alias maps and skip irrelevant macOS Linuxbrew PATH probes so Gateway startup avoids repeated filesystem walks and slow missing-directory stats.
-- Transcripts: add the initial transcript capture and source-provider foundation, including auto-start capture config, manual transcript imports, read-only transcript access, and Discord voice as the first live source.
+- Image tool: add adaptive model-aware image compression with an `agents.defaults.imageQuality` preference for choosing token-efficient, balanced, or high-detail media handling.
+- Meeting Notes: add a source-only external meeting-notes plugin and SDK source-provider contract outside the core npm package, with auto-start capture config, manual transcript imports, read-only `openclaw meeting-notes` CLI access, and Discord voice as the first live source.
+- Meeting Notes/Discord: release channel account startup before meeting-notes auto-capture, wait for the Discord voice manager during gateway boot, and stop plugin services before channel shutdown so voice capture state remains available during startup and cleanup.
 - Docs/channels/config: add Signal `configPath`, Telegram wildcard topic defaults, local-time backup archive names, Termux home fallback, include-path validation, secret-scanner-safe placeholder guidance, Gemini CLI/Antigravity media guidance, and macOS VM auto-login guidance.

Thanks @nielskaspers, @cosmopolitan033, @drclaw-iq, @alexgduarte, @zccyman, @chengoak, and @cassthebandit.
 - Packaging: exclude documentation images and assets from the npm tarball, reducing published package size without affecting runtime docs search or CLI behavior. Thanks @SebTardif.
 - Media understanding: stop auto-probing Gemini CLI and use Antigravity CLI only as a lower-priority image/video fallback after configured provider APIs.
+- Diagnostics: emit sanitized `secrets.prepare` timeline spans for Gateway secret preparation so operators can distinguish secret startup latency without exposing provider names, secret ids, or secret values. (#83019) Thanks @samzong.
+- Diagnostics: export bounded skill usage metrics/spans and tool source/owner labels for core, plugin, MCP, and channel tool execution without exposing raw paths or session identifiers. (#80370) Thanks @gauravprasadgp.
 - Agents/subagents: limit default sub-agent bootstrap context to `AGENTS.md` and `TOOLS.md`, keeping persona, identity, user, memory, heartbeat, and setup files out of delegated workers by default. (#85283) Thanks @100yenadmin.
+- Maintainer skills: require clean autoreview before surfacing bug-sweep PR URLs and treat changelog-only conflicts as routine busy-main churn.
 - Maintainer skills: exclude plugin SDK/API boundary work from `openclaw-landable-bug-sweep` so bugbash sweeps stay focused on small paper-cut fixes.
 - QA-Lab/diagnostics: extend the OpenTelemetry smoke harness to prove trace, metric, and log export, and add first-class Prometheus and observability smoke aliases.
 - Plugin SDK: add a generic channel-message poll sender so channel plugins can expose poll delivery without depending on channel-specific SDK facades.
+- Plugin SDK/cron delivery: route cron delivery through the modern target resolver and outbound session-route APIs, deprecate parser-backed target helpers and `plugin-sdk/messaging-targets`, and move bundled callers to `plugin-sdk/channel-targets`.
 - Crabbox: keep the local wrapper's provider validation synced with the installed Crabbox binary while preserving supported aliases such as `docker` and `blacksmith`. (#85302) Thanks @hxy91819.
 - Maintainer skills: add `openclaw-landable-bug-sweep` for producing five small, reviewed, CI-green OpenClaw bugfix PRs from issue/PR sweeps.

 ### Fixes
 
+- Gateway/update: avoid fetching unrelated tags during dev-channel git updates so moved release tags do not block branch-based updates. (#84737) Thanks @rubencu.
+- CLI/update: suppress the expected future-config warning while an old update parent hands off to the freshly installed post-core process.
+- MiniMax: store OAuth token expiry as an absolute millisecond timestamp so OAuth profiles no longer appear expired on every request. (#83480) Thanks @NianJiuZst.
+- Agents/Anthropic: strip missing or blank thinking signatures for signed-thinking providers even when recovery supplies a narrow replay policy without signature preservation. Fixes #84430. (#84448) Thanks @NianJiuZst.
+- Agents/channels: send a visible notice when an aborted main session cannot be resumed after restart, including Telegram group targets. (#85805) Thanks @pfrederiksen.
+- Discord/voice: serialize overlapping voice joins, retry aborted startup readiness within the configured timeout, upgrade meeting-notes-only sessions to realtime when the normal follow join arrives, detach promoted meeting-notes ownership without leaving voice, and include `OpenClaw` in default realtime wake names.
+- Gateway/restart: honor the configured restart drain budget for embedded runs and avoid spending the deferral timeout twice after forced restart timeouts. (#85708) Thanks @Kaspre.
+- Gateway/boot: run `BOOT.md` startup checks in an isolated boot session so gateway restarts do not overwrite the agent's main session mapping. (#85479)
+- Meeting Notes: include a speaker-labeled transcript section in generated summaries so Discord group voice captures show who said each captured utterance.
+- Discord/voice: recover stale realtime playback state when Discord stream-close/player-idle events do not arrive, and keep generated runtime plugin aliases available after postbuild rewrites.
+- Discord/voice: keep realtime playback running when meeting notes attaches to an existing voice session or a realtime consult starts, and route realtime user transcripts into meeting notes.
+- Config/secrets: preflight active runtime SecretRefs before root and include config writes persist, and roll back unchanged file/env state when post-write refresh fails. Fixes #46531. (#84454) Thanks @samzong.
+- CLI/models: preserve SecretRef-backed custom provider `apiKey` markers when `models status` regenerates `models.json`, avoiding resolved plaintext secrets on disk. Fixes #84632. (#84658) Thanks @NianJiuZst.
+- WhatsApp/auto-reply: deliver deferred media replies through the foreground reply fence so overlapping no-reply turns no longer hide already visible responses. (#85517) Thanks @cavit99.
+- Sessions/security: replace agent-to-agent wildcard allowlist regexes with a precompiled linear matcher so cross-agent access checks avoid backtracking-prone patterns. (#85849) Thanks @SebTardif.
+- WebChat: keep the run-complete indicator in progress until deferred history replay renders the assistant reply, so Done no longer appears before response text. (#85374) Thanks @neeravmakwana.
+- Agents/tools: give timed-out or cancelled process trees a bounded SIGTERM cleanup window before SIGKILL while preserving tree-aware cancellation. Fixes #66399. (#85865) Thanks @IWhatsskill.
+- Agents/subagents: treat aborted subagent stop reasons as killed terminal failures so parent sessions get error announcements instead of silent success. Fixes #72293. (#85860) Thanks @IWhatsskill.

+- Codex/app-server: keep successful native hook relays available through a short post-turn grace window so late Codex hook subprocesses can finish policy enforcement without clearing a replacement relay. (#83987) Thanks @Kaspre.
+- Control UI/config: save form-mode edits from the source config snapshot so runtime-only provider defaults like empty `models.providers.<id>.baseUrl` are not written back and rejected. Fixes #85831. Thanks @garyd9.
+- Browser/existing-session: launch Chrome DevTools MCP with usage statistics disabled by default so its telemetry watchdog stays off unless an operator explicitly opts in. (#85886) Thanks @rohitjavvadi.
+- Telegram: normalize legacy durable group retry targets before retry sends, polls, and pins so group retries keep using the real chat id. (#85656) Thanks @luoyanglang.

+- Telegram/config: suppress the missing `accounts.default` warning when `channels.telegram.defaultAccount` names a configured account that also sorts first. Fixes #83948. Thanks @crypto86m.
+- Telegram: serialize visible topic replies through core reply-lane admission so heartbeat and queued follow-up turns cannot continue ownerless or misroute responses. (#85709) Thanks @jalehman.

 - Gateway: preserve deferred lifecycle-error cleanup across later non-terminal events so provider timeouts can persist failed session state instead of leaving sessions stuck running. (#85256, fixes #63819) Thanks @samzong.
+- Gateway/update: stop treating inherited macOS `XPC_SERVICE_NAME` values as launchd supervision during update respawn, so GUI-spawned gateways use detached respawn instead of exiting for a missing LaunchAgent. Fixes #85224. Thanks @richardmqq.
+- Gateway: stop sending duplicate message-phase `sessions.changed` websocket events after displayable `session.message` transcript updates. (#84834)
 - Agents/subagents: report tool-only child progress during timeout summaries instead of showing no visible output.
 - Telegram/ACP: preserve explicit `:topic:` conversation suffixes when inbound ACP targets do not carry a separate thread id.
 - Browser/proxy: bypass the managed proxy for the exact local managed Chrome CDP readiness and DevTools WebSocket endpoints, so `openclaw browser start` works when the operator proxy blocks loopback egress. (#83255) Thanks @lightcap.
 - Ollama: bypass the managed proxy for configured local embedding origins while keeping SSRF guardrails on unconfigured targets. Thanks @Kaspre.
 - OpenAI/images: route Codex API-key image generation through the native OpenAI Images API instead of the Codex OAuth streaming backend, avoiding 401s from valid API keys.

 - Agents/embedded runner: classify HTML auth provider responses as `auth_html` and return a re-authentication hint instead of the CDN-blocked copy that `upstream_html` returns. Cloudflare Access login pages, nginx basic-auth challenges, and gateway login walls all produce HTML auth bodies that were previously misdiagnosed as transient CDN blocks. (#79900) Thanks @martingarramon.
 - TUI/streaming watchdog: dismiss the `This response is taking longer than expected` notice as soon as a chat event for the same run arrives, so the message no longer sits next to the recovered response when the run was only briefly silent. Refs #67052, #69081 (closed), prior attempt #69026. Thanks @jpruit20 and @romneyda.
-- Agents/auth profiles: replace the bare `No available auth profile for <provider> (all in cooldown or unavailable)` TUI error with plain-language copy that explains what happened in user terms (sign-in expired, provider asking us to slow down, billing issue on the account, etc.) and suggests the matching `openclaw models auth login --provider <provider>` recovery command for sign-in and billing causes, while falling back to the underlying provider error for cases without a clear recovery path. Thanks @romneyda.
 - Agents/Pi: tolerate OpenClaw-owned transcript writes while embedded prompts are released for model I/O, keeping long-running Feishu, Slack, Telegram, and cron turns from failing with false session-takeover errors. Fixes #84059. (#84250) Thanks @tianxiaochannel-oss88.

 ### Fixes
 
-- Agents: validate a forced plugin harness against the candidate provider/model before pinning it, so unsupported fallback-chain candidates fail with a clear harness error instead of producing a late `Model provider X not found` from the underlying harness. Codex harness `supports()` now also accepts the canonical `openai` and `openai-codex` routing ids so documented Codex configs keep working. Thanks @cathrynlavery.
 - Control UI/WebChat: keep selected external-channel sessions live by mirroring Codex prompts at turn start, streaming hidden runs only to exact selected-session subscribers, and deduplicating accumulated stream snapshots around tool cards. Fixes #83528, #82611, refs #83949. Thanks @BunsDev.
 - CLI/tasks: include stale-running task maintenance decisions in `openclaw tasks maintenance --json` so retained and reconcile candidates explain backing-session, cron, CLI, and wedged-subagent state. (#84691) Thanks @efpiva.
 - Codex app-server: keep system-prompt reports working when bootstrap hooks provide workspace files with only a path and content, so hook-supplied SOUL/IDENTITY/TOOLS/USER context still reports injected characters correctly. (#84736) Thanks @JARVIS-Glasses.
@@ -2150,7 +1841,6 @@ Docs: https://docs.openclaw.ai
 - Agents/read tool: treat positive offsets beyond EOF as empty ranges instead of surfacing the upstream read error, so stale pagination cursors no longer crash tool calls while unrelated read failures still fail loud. Fixes #62466. (#75536) Thanks @vyctorbrzezowski.
 - Google/Gemini: normalize retired Gemini 3 Pro Preview refs left in Google API-key onboarding model allowlists and fallbacks, so setup-emitted config keeps testing `google/gemini-3.1-pro-preview` instead of `google/gemini-3-pro-preview`.
 - Telegram/context: bound selected topic context to the active session so messages from before `/new` or `/reset` are not replayed into later turns. (#80848) Thanks @VACInc.
-- Docs/providers/openai: clarify that OpenAI Realtime voice goes through the OpenAI Platform Realtime API and requires Platform credits — Codex/ChatGPT subscription quota does not cover this route. Fixes #76498. Thanks @lonexreb.
 - Google/Gemini: normalize retired nested Gemini 3 Pro Preview ids when resolving exact configured proxy-provider refs, so `kilocode/google/gemini-3-pro-preview` resolves to `kilocode/google/gemini-3.1-pro-preview` for Gemini 3.1 testing.
 - CLI: strip generic OSC terminal escape payloads from sanitized output fields, preventing clipboard/title escape bodies from leaking into commitment tables and other terminal-safe text. Thanks @shakkernerd.
 - Codex app-server: match connector-backed plugin approval elicitations by stable connector id so enabled destructive actions no longer fall through to display-name-only rejection.

 - Telegram/groups: include the recent local chat window and nearby reply-target window as generic inbound context so stale reply ancestry does not overshadow the live group conversation.
 - Plugins/Nix: allow externally configured plugin roots under `/nix/store` to load in `OPENCLAW_NIX_MODE=1` while keeping normal external plugin hardlink rejection unchanged. Thanks @joshp123.
 - Nextcloud Talk: include the required bot `response` feature in setup, explain missing `--feature response` on rejected sends, and surface missing response capability in doctor/status checks. Fixes #78935. (#79657) Thanks @joshavant.
-- Cron/diagnostics: emit the existing `message.queued`, `session.state` (processing/idle), and `message.processed` lifecycle events for isolated-cron agent turns in `runCronIsolatedAgentTurn`, matching the dispatch and embedded-runner paths so subscribers (diagnostics OTLP, OTel exporters, custom observability plugins) get per-run session attribution instead of bucketing isolated cron LLM calls under static fallback ids. Events are gated on `isDiagnosticsEnabled(cfg)` so the documented `diagnostics.enabled: false` master toggle continues to silence the recorder. (#79214) Thanks @arniesaha.
 - fix(discord): gate user allowlist name resolution [AI]. (#79002) Thanks @pgondhi987.
 - fix(msteams): gate startup user allowlist resolution [AI]. (#79003) Thanks @pgondhi987.
 - Infra/fetch-timeout: pass `operation` and `url` context to `buildTimeoutAbortSignal` from the music-generate reference fetch and the Matrix guarded redirect transport, so the `fetch timeout reached; aborting operation` warning carries actionable structured fields instead of a bare line.

@@ -107,7 +107,6 @@ For coordinated change sets that genuinely need more than 20 PRs, join the **#cl
 
 - 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.
-- Keep PRs takeover-ready: open them from a branch maintainers can push to. For fork PRs, leave GitHub's **Allow edits by maintainers** option enabled so maintainers can finish urgent fixes, changelog entries, or merge prep when needed. If GitHub shows **Allow edits and access to secrets by maintainers**, enable it only when that workflow/secrets access is acceptable and say so in the PR.
 - Do not edit `CHANGELOG.md` in contributor PRs. Maintainers or ClawSweeper add the changelog entry when landing user-facing changes.
 - Run tests: `pnpm build && pnpm check && pnpm test`
 - For iterative local commits, `scripts/committer --fast "message" <files...>` passes `FAST_COMMIT=1` through to the pre-commit hook so it skips the repo-wide `pnpm check`. Only use it when you've already run equivalent targeted validation for the touched surface.
