+## Interactive Desktop And WebVNC
+
+Prefer WebVNC for human inspection because the browser portal can preload the
+lease VNC password and avoids a native VNC client's copy/paste/password dance.
+Use native `crabbox vnc` only when WebVNC is unavailable, the browser portal is
+broken, or the user explicitly wants a local VNC client.
+
+Common desktop flow:
+
+```sh
+../crabbox/bin/crabbox warmup --provider hetzner --desktop --browser --class standard --idle-timeout 60m --ttl 240m
+../crabbox/bin/crabbox desktop launch --provider hetzner --id <cbx_id-or-slug> --browser --url https://example.com --webvnc --open
+```
+
+Useful WebVNC commands:
+
+```sh
+../crabbox/bin/crabbox webvnc --provider hetzner --id <cbx_id-or-slug> --open
+../crabbox/bin/crabbox webvnc --provider hetzner --id <cbx_id-or-slug> --daemon --open
+../crabbox/bin/crabbox webvnc --provider hetzner --id <cbx_id-or-slug> --status

+../crabbox/bin/crabbox screenshot --provider hetzner --id <cbx_id-or-slug> --output desktop.png
+```
+
+`desktop launch --webvnc --open` is usually the nicest one-shot: it starts the
+browser/app inside the visible session, bridges the lease into the authenticated
+WebVNC portal, and opens the portal. Keep browsers windowed for human QA; use
+`--fullscreen` only for capture/video workflows.

+## Surface opener identity
+
+- For every reviewed, triaged, closed, or landed issue/PR, show the opener's human name when available, GitHub login, and account age.
+- Get the login from `gh issue view` / `gh pr view` (`author.login`), then fetch profile metadata once with `gh api users/<login> --jq '{login,name,created_at,type}'`.
+- Report opener identity as one compact line:
+  `By: Jane Doe (@jane, acct 2021-04-03) | OpenClaw: 4 PRs, 2 issues, 11 commits/12mo | GitHub: 9 repos, 86 commits, 9 PRs, 3 issues, 12 reviews`
+- Always show recent activity in two lanes: OpenClaw-local PRs, issues, and commits in the last 12 months; and general public GitHub activity over the same window. For linked issue-fixing PRs, include both the PR author and issue opener when they differ.
+- Prefer the bundled helper for activity lookups:
+
+```bash
+.agents/skills/openclaw-pr-maintainer/scripts/github-activity.sh <login> [other-login...]
+.agents/skills/openclaw-pr-maintainer/scripts/github-activity.sh --global <login>
+```
+
+- The helper reports repo-local activity first and can fetch public GitHub contribution totals for the same window with `--global`; run the global form by default for review/triage identity summaries.
+- If the global contribution graph reports zero or looks inconsistent with visible public activity, sanity-check with `gh api users/<login>`, `gh api 'users/<login>/events/public?per_page=100'`, and recent public repo commits before calling the account inactive.
+- The helper is intentionally cache-friendly for gitcrawl-backed `gh`: it rounds repo-local windows to the UTC day, rounds global contribution windows to the UTC hour, and counts PRs/issues from one paginated issues response before fetching commits separately. Prefer reusing the helper instead of hand-rolling several `gh api` loops.
+- If the contribution graph is misleading or zero but public events/repos show activity, keep it one line, for example:
+  `By: pickaxe (@ProspectOre, acct 2019-08-24) | OpenClaw: 5 PRs, 0 issues, 5 commits/12mo | GitHub: 5 repos, 29 recent events, 100 public own-repo commits; graph=0`
+- If `name` is empty, use the login only. If profile lookup is rate-limited or unavailable, say `account age unknown` rather than omitting the opener.
+- Use identity and activity as triage signal, not proof by itself: new, low-activity, or bot-like accounts can raise review caution, but code, repro, and CI evidence still decide.
+
+## Suppress top-maintainer items in issue triage
+
+When Peter asks for issue triage, hot issues, pressing bugs, Discord-correlated issues, or "what is still open", do not surface issues or PRs authored by top maintainers by default. He wants external/user-reported hot issues and external PRs, not maintainer-owned work queues.
+
+Suppress by default when the opener/author is one of:
+
+- `@vincentkoc`
+- `@Takhoffman`
+- `@gumadeiras`
+- `@obviyus`
+- `@shakkernerd`
+- `@mbelinky`
+- `@joshavant`
+- `@ngutman`
+- `@vignesh07`
+- `@huntharo`
+
+Also suppress lower-priority maintainer-owned noise from the broader keep/top-maintainer group unless it is directly relevant:
+
+- `@thewilloftheshadow`
+- `@onutc` / `@osolmaz`
+- `@jacobtomlinson`
+- `@tyler6204`
+- `@velvet-shark`
+- `@jalehman`
+- `@frankekn`
+- `@ImLukeF`
+- `@mcaxtr`
+
+Exceptions:
+
+- Show maintainer-authored items when Peter explicitly asks for maintainer PRs/issues, PR landing candidates, release-blocking maintainer work, or a specific PR/issue number.
+- Show a maintainer-authored item when it is the canonical fix for an external hot issue, but frame it as the fix path rather than as a user-facing issue candidate.
+- Do not close, label, or deprioritize solely because an item is maintainer-authored; this section only controls what appears in triage shortlists.
+
 ## Apply close and triage labels correctly
 
 - If an issue or PR matches an auto-close reason, apply the label and let `.github/workflows/auto-response.yml` handle the comment/close/lock flow.

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

 ## Unreleased
 
-### Highlights
-
-- Google Meet/Voice Call: make Twilio dial-in joins speak through the realtime Gemini voice bridge with paced audio streaming, backpressure-aware buffering, barge-in queue clearing, and no TwiML fallback during realtime speech, giving Meet participants a much snappier OpenClaw voice agent. (#77064) Thanks @scoootscooob.
-
 ### Changes
 
-- Gateway/Windows: bind the default loopback gateway listener only to `127.0.0.1` on Windows so libuv's dual-stack `::1` behavior cannot wedge localhost HTTP requests. (#69701, fixes #69674) Thanks @SARAMALI15792.
-- Plugins/migration: emit catalog-backed install hints when `plugins.entries` or `plugins.allow` references an official external plugin that is not installed, so upgraded configs point operators to `openclaw plugins install <spec>` instead of telling them to remove valid plugin config. (#77483) Thanks @hclsys.
+- Plugins/install: add `npm-pack:<path.tgz>` installs so local npm pack artifacts run through the same managed npm-root install, lockfile verification, dependency scan, and install-record path as registry npm plugins.
+- Plugin skills/Windows: publish plugin-provided skill directories as junctions on Windows so standard users without Developer Mode can register plugin skills without symlink EPERM failures. Fixes #77958. (#77971) Thanks @hclsys and @jarro.
+- MS Teams: surface blocked Bot Framework egress by logging JWKS fetch network failures and adding a Bot Connector send hint for transport-level reply failures. Fixes #77674. (#78081) Thanks @Beandon13.
+- Gateway/sessions: fast-path already-qualified model refs while building session-list rows so `openclaw sessions` and Control UI session lists avoid heavyweight model resolution on large stores. (#77902) Thanks @ragesaq.
+- PR triage: mark external pull requests with `proof: supplied` when Barnacle finds structured real behavior proof, keep stale negative proof labels in sync across CRLF-edited PR bodies, and let ClawSweeper own the stronger `proof: sufficient` judgement.
+- Sessions CLI: show the selected agent runtime in the `openclaw sessions` table so terminal output matches the runtime visibility already present in JSON/status surfaces. Thanks @vincentkoc.
+- Talk/voice: unify realtime relay, transcription relay, managed-room handoff, Voice Call, Google Meet, VoiceClaw, and native clients around a shared Talk session controller and add the Gateway-managed `talk.session.*` RPC surface.
+- Diagnostics/Talk: export bounded Talk lifecycle/audio metrics and session recovery metrics through OpenTelemetry and Prometheus without exposing transcripts, audio payloads, room ids, turn ids, or session ids.
+- Google Meet/Voice Call: make Twilio dial-in joins speak through the realtime Gemini voice bridge with paced audio streaming, backpressure-aware buffering, barge-in queue clearing, same-session agent consult routing, duplicate-consult coalescing, and no TwiML fallback during realtime speech, giving Meet participants a much snappier OpenClaw voice agent. (#77064) Thanks @scoootscooob.
+- Voice Call/realtime: add opt-in OpenClaw agent voice context capsules and consult-cadence guidance so Gemini/OpenAI realtime calls can sound like the configured agent without consulting the full agent on every ordinary turn. Thanks @scoootscooob.
+- Docker/Gateway: harden the gateway container by dropping `NET_RAW` and `NET_ADMIN` capabilities and enabling `no-new-privileges` in the bundled `docker-compose.yml`. Thanks @VintageAyu.
+- Telegram: accept plugin-owned numeric forum-topic targets in the agent message tool and keep reply-dispatch provider chunks behind a real stable runtime alias during in-place package updates. Fixes #77137. Thanks @richardmqq.
+- Telegram/streaming: keep draft preview rotation from reusing a pre-tool assistant preview after visible tool or media output lands between compaction replay and the next assistant message. Thanks @vincentkoc.
+- Channels/WhatsApp: support explicit WhatsApp Channel/Newsletter `@newsletter` outbound message targets with channel session metadata instead of DM routing. Fixes #13417; carries forward the narrow outbound target idea from #13424. Thanks @vincentkoc and @agentz-manfred.
+- TTS/telephony: honor provider voice/model overrides in telephony synthesis providers so Google Meet agent speech logs match the backend that actually produced the audio. Thanks @vincentkoc.
+- Voice Call/realtime: bound the paced Twilio audio queue and close overloaded realtime streams before provider audio can pile up behind the websocket backpressure guard. Thanks @vincentkoc.
+- Google Meet: preserve `realtime.introMessage: ""` so realtime Chrome joins can stay silent instead of restoring the default spoken intro. Thanks @vincentkoc.
+- CLI/migrate: add bulk on/off and skip controls to interactive Codex skill migration, leaving conflicting skill copies unchecked by default. (#77597) Thanks @kevinslin.
 - OpenAI/Codex media: advertise Codex audio transcription in runtime and manifest metadata and route active Codex chat models to the OpenAI transcription default instead of sending chat model ids to audio transcription. Thanks @vincentkoc.
-- Dependencies: refresh runtime and provider packages including Pi 0.73.0, ACPX adapters, OpenAI, Anthropic, Slack, and TypeScript native preview, while keeping the Bedrock runtime installer override pinned below the Windows ARM Node 24 npm resolver failure.
-- Agents/performance: pass the resolved workspace through BTW, compaction, embedded-run model generation, and PDF model setup so explicit agent-dir model refreshes can reuse the current workspace-scoped plugin metadata snapshot instead of falling back to cold plugin metadata scans. (#77519, #77532)
-- Plugins/performance: let unscoped model catalog and manifest-contract readers reuse the current workspace-compatible plugin metadata snapshot, avoiding repeated cold plugin metadata scans on hot control-plane paths while preserving env/config/workspace compatibility checks. (#77519, #77532)
-- Config/plugin auto-enable: prefer the claiming plugin manifest id over a built-in channel alias when auto-allowlisting a configured channel, so WeCom/Yuanbao-style aliases resolve to the installed plugin id. Thanks @Beandon13.
-- Secrets/apply: preserve auth-profile `keyRef` and `tokenRef` fields when scrubbing provider-target secrets, so the canonical SecretRef metadata survives `secrets apply` without keeping plaintext values. Thanks @Beandon13.
-- Plugins/active-memory: skip session-store channel entries that contain `:` when resolving the recall subagent's channel, so QQ c2c agent IDs (e.g. `c2c:10D4F7C2…`) and other scoped conversation IDs do not reach bundled-plugin `dirName` validation and crash the recall run. The same guard already applied to explicit `channelId` params (#76704); this extends it to store-derived channels. (#77396) Thanks @hclsys.
-- Secrets/external channel contracts: also look in `<rootDir>/dist/` when resolving the `secret-contract-api` sidecar, so npm-published externalized channel plugins (e.g. `@openclaw/discord` since 2026.5.2) whose compiled artifacts live under `dist/` actually contribute their channel SecretRef contracts to the runtime snapshot. Without this, env-backed `channels.discord.token` SecretRefs silently failed to resolve at gateway start on 2026.5.3, leaving the channel `not configured` even though #76449 had landed the generic external-contract loader. Thanks @mogglemoss.
 - Models/auth: add `openclaw models auth list [--provider <id>] [--json]` so users can inspect saved per-agent auth profiles without dumping secrets or hitting the old “too many arguments” path. Thanks @vincentkoc.
-- Control UI/header: show the active agent name in dashboard breadcrumbs without adding the current session key, keeping non-chat views oriented without crowding the topbar.
-- Control UI/cron: make the New Job sidebar collapsible so the jobs list can reclaim space while keeping the form one click away. Thanks @BunsDev.
-- Gateway/startup: keep model-catalog test helpers, run-session lookup code, QR pairing helpers, and TypeBox memory-tool schema construction out of hot startup import paths, reducing default gateway benchmark plugin-load and memory pressure.
-- Control UI/performance: record browser long animation frame or long task entries in the debug event log when supported, making slow dashboard renders easier to attribute from the UI.
+- Cron CLI: add `openclaw cron list --agent <id>`, normalize the requested agent id, and include jobs without a stored agent id under the configured default agent while keeping `cron list` unfiltered when no agent is supplied. Fixes #77118. Thanks @zhanggttry.
+- Status: show compact Gateway process uptime and host system uptime in `/status`, making restart and host-lifetime checks visible from chat. Thanks @vincentkoc.
+- Discord/status: add degraded Discord transport and gateway event-loop starvation signals to `openclaw channels status`, `openclaw status --deep`, and fetch-timeout logs so intermittent socket resets do not look like a healthy running channel. (#76327) Thanks @joshavant.
+- Gateway/Windows: bind the default loopback gateway listener only to `127.0.0.1` on Windows so libuv's dual-stack `::1` behavior cannot wedge localhost HTTP requests. (#69701, fixes #69674) Thanks @SARAMALI15792.
 - Slack/streaming: add `streaming.progress.render: "rich"` for Block Kit progress drafts backed by structured progress line data.
 - Slack/streaming: keep the newest rich progress lines when Block Kit limits trim long progress drafts. Thanks @vincentkoc.
 - Channels/streaming: cap progress-draft tool lines by default so edited progress boxes avoid jumpy reflow from long wrapped lines.
-- Agents/verbose: use compact explain-mode tool summaries for `/verbose` and progress drafts by default, with `agents.defaults.toolProgressDetail: "raw"` and per-agent overrides for debugging raw command/detail output.
 - Control UI/chat: add an agent-first filter to the chat session picker, keep chat controls/composer responsive across phone/tablet/desktop widths, keep desktop chat controls on one row, avoid duplicate avatar refreshes during initial chat load, and hide that row while scrolling down the transcript. Thanks @BunsDev.
-- Control UI/chat: collapse consecutive duplicate text messages into one bubble with a count so no-op heartbeat acknowledgements stay compact without hiding nearby context.
+- Control UI/chat: collapse consecutive duplicate text messages into one bubble with a count so repeated text-only messages stay compact without hiding nearby context.
 - Agents/subagents: preserve every grouped child result when direct completion fallback has to bypass the requester-agent announce turn. Thanks @vincentkoc.

+- QA/WhatsApp: add `pnpm openclaw qa whatsapp` for live DM canary and pairing-gate coverage using two pre-linked WhatsApp Web sessions from the QA credential pool.
 - QA/Mantis: pass the runtime env through desktop-browser Crabbox and artifact-copy child commands, so embedded Mantis callers can provide Crabbox credentials without mutating the parent process. Thanks @vincentkoc.
 - QA/Mantis: return the copied Slack desktop screenshot path even when remote Slack QA fails, so the CLI still prints the failure screenshot artifact. Thanks @vincentkoc.
 - QA/Mantis: accept Blacksmith Testbox `tbx_...` lease ids from desktop smoke warmup, so provider overrides do not fail before inspect/run. Thanks @vincentkoc.
 - QA/Codex harness: add targeted live Docker/Testbox diagnostics, auth preflight checks, cache mount fixes, and app-server protocol checkout discovery so maintainer harness failures are easier to reproduce. Thanks @vincentkoc.

 - Plugins/update: treat official externalized bundled npm migrations and ClawHub-to-npm fallbacks as trusted source-linked installs, so prerelease-only official plugin packages can migrate from bundled builds without being rejected as unsafe prerelease resolutions. Thanks @vincentkoc.
 - Plugins/update: move ClawHub-preferred externalized plugin installs back to ClawHub after an earlier npm fallback once the ClawHub package becomes available. Thanks @vincentkoc.
 - Plugins/update: clean stale bundled load paths for already-externalized pinned npm and ClawHub plugin installs, so release-channel sync does not leave removed bundled paths ahead of the installed external package. Thanks @vincentkoc.

-- Google Meet: preserve `realtime.introMessage: ""` so realtime Chrome joins can stay silent instead of restoring the default spoken intro. Thanks @vincentkoc.
-- Plugins/SDK: add bounded `before_agent_finalize` retry instructions so workflow plugins can request one more model pass. Thanks @100yenadmin.
-- Discord/status: add degraded Discord transport and gateway event-loop starvation signals to `openclaw channels status`, `openclaw status --deep`, and fetch-timeout logs so intermittent socket resets do not look like a healthy running channel. (#76327) Thanks @joshavant.
+- Plugins/update: repair stale managed npm-root `openclaw` peer packages before plugin installs, so beta-channel official plugin updates are not downgraded by old core package-lock state. Thanks @vincentkoc.
+- Plugins/install: run managed npm-root install, rollback, repair, and uninstall mutations with legacy peer resolution so removing one plugin cannot rehydrate a stale registry `openclaw` package into the shared root. Thanks @vincentkoc.
+- Plugins/install: reassert managed npm plugin `openclaw` peer links after shared-root npm installs, updates, and uninstalls, so mutating one plugin does not leave previously installed SDK-using plugins unable to resolve `openclaw/plugin-sdk/*`.
+- Plugins/update: make package upgrades swap pnpm/npm-prefix installs cleanly, keep legacy plugin install runtime chunks working, and on the beta channel fall back default-line npm plugins to default/latest when plugin beta releases are missing or fail install validation. Thanks @vincentkoc and @joshavant.
+- Plugins/active-memory: skip session-store channel entries that contain `:` when resolving the recall subagent's channel, so QQ c2c agent IDs (e.g. `c2c:10D4F7C2…`) and other scoped conversation IDs do not reach bundled-plugin `dirName` validation and crash the recall run. The same guard already applied to explicit `channelId` params (#76704); this extends it to store-derived channels. (#77396) Thanks @hclsys.
+- Sandbox/Windows: accept drive-absolute Docker bind sources while keeping sandbox blocked-path and allowed-root policy comparisons Windows-case-insensitive. (#42174) Thanks @6607changchun.
+- Plugin SDK: add `openclaw/plugin-sdk/channel-message` lifecycle helpers for `defineChannelMessageAdapter`, `deliverInboundReplyWithMessageSendContext`, send/receive/live/state contracts, durable final-delivery capability derivation, capability proof helpers, and normalized message receipts.
+- Plugin SDK: add `createChannelMessageAdapterFromOutbound` so channel plugins can derive durable message adapters from proven outbound adapters without duplicating send/receipt bridge code.
+- Plugin SDK: add `actions.prepareSendPayload(...)` so channel plugins can shape message-tool sends into durable payloads while core owns queueing, hooks, retry, recovery, and acknowledgements.
+- Plugin SDK: make the legacy `channel-reply-pipeline` subpath a compatibility wrapper over the shared reply core while steering root compat deprecations toward `plugin-sdk/channel-message`.
+- Plugin SDK: move Discord, Slack, Mattermost, and Matrix live-preview finalization onto `plugin-sdk/channel-message` and attach message receipts to Telegram finalized previews plus Teams native stream finals, so preview edits and stream finals are represented in the message lifecycle instead of draft-only helpers.
+- Telegram: persist the polling restart watermark after successful update dispatch instead of at handler entry, leaving failed updates retryable while still coalescing completed offsets safely.
+- Agents/subagents: preserve every grouped child result when direct completion fallback has to bypass the requester-agent announce turn. Thanks @vincentkoc.
+- Agents/verbose: use compact explain-mode tool summaries for `/verbose` and progress drafts by default, with `agents.defaults.toolProgressDetail: "raw"` and per-agent overrides for debugging raw command/detail output.
+- Gateway/startup: keep model-catalog test helpers, run-session lookup code, QR pairing helpers, and TypeBox memory-tool schema construction out of hot startup import paths, reducing default gateway benchmark plugin-load and memory pressure.
+- Gateway/performance: defer non-readiness sidecars until after the ready signal, avoid hot-path channel plugin barrel imports, and fast-path trusted bundled plugin metadata during Gateway startup.
+- Gateway/performance: avoid importing `jiti` on native-loadable plugin startup paths, so compiled bundled plugin surfaces do not pay source-transform loader cost unless fallback loading is actually needed.
+- Plugins/loader: preserve real compiled plugin module evaluation errors on the native fast path instead of treating every thrown `.js` module as a source-transform fallback miss. Thanks @vincentkoc.
+- Plugin SDK/fs-safe: expose reusable atomic replacement, sibling-temp writes, and cross-device move fallback helpers through `plugin-sdk/security-runtime`, and move OpenClaw's duplicated safe filesystem write paths onto the shared `@openclaw/fs-safe` package.
+- Plugin SDK/fs-safe: rename the public temp workspace helpers to `tempWorkspace`, `withTempWorkspace`, `tempWorkspaceSync`, and `withTempWorkspaceSync`, matching the cleaner `@openclaw/fs-safe` API before the package is published.
 - Providers/OpenRouter: add opt-in response caching params that send OpenRouter's `X-OpenRouter-Cache`, `X-OpenRouter-Cache-TTL`, and cache-clear headers only on verified OpenRouter routes. Thanks @vincentkoc.
 - Providers/OpenRouter: expand app-attribution categories so OpenClaw advertises coding, programming, writing, chat, and personal-agent usage on verified OpenRouter routes. Thanks @vincentkoc.
-- Plugins/update: make package upgrades swap pnpm/npm-prefix installs cleanly, keep legacy plugin install runtime chunks working, and on the beta channel fall back default-line npm plugins to default/latest when plugin beta releases are missing or fail install validation. Thanks @vincentkoc and @joshavant.
-- Channels/WhatsApp: support explicit WhatsApp Channel/Newsletter `@newsletter` outbound message targets with channel session metadata instead of DM routing. Fixes #13417; carries forward the narrow outbound target idea from #13424. Thanks @vincentkoc and @agentz-manfred.
-- Exec approvals: add a tree-sitter-backed shell command explainer for future approval and command-review surfaces. (#75004) Thanks @jesse-merhi.
+- Agents/performance: pass the resolved workspace through BTW, compaction, embedded-run model generation, and PDF model setup so explicit agent-dir model refreshes can reuse the current workspace-scoped plugin metadata snapshot instead of falling back to cold plugin metadata scans. (#77519, #77532)
+- Plugins/performance: let unscoped model catalog and manifest-contract readers reuse the current workspace-compatible plugin metadata snapshot, avoiding repeated cold plugin metadata scans on hot control-plane paths while preserving env/config/workspace compatibility checks. (#77519, #77532)
 - Agents/sandbox: store sandbox container and browser registry entries as per-runtime shard files, reducing unrelated session lock contention while `openclaw doctor --fix` migrates legacy monolithic registry files. (#74831) Thanks @luckylhb90.
-- Plugins/ClawHub: annotate 429 errors from ClawHub with the reset window from `RateLimit-Reset`/`Retry-After` and append a `Sign in for higher rate limits.` hint when the request was unauthenticated, so users can see when downloads will recover and how to lift the cap. Thanks @romneyda.
 - Plugins/runtime state: add `registerIfAbsent` for atomic keyed-store dedupe claims that return whether a plugin successfully claimed a key without overwriting an existing live value. Thanks @amknight.
+- Exec approvals: add a tree-sitter-backed shell command explainer for future approval and command-review surfaces. (#75004) Thanks @jesse-merhi.
+- Control UI/performance: record browser long animation frame or long task entries in the debug event log when supported, making slow dashboard renders easier to attribute from the UI.
+- Gateway/diagnostics: add startup phase spans, active work labels, stale terminal bridge markers, and default sync-I/O tracing in `pnpm gateway:watch` so slow Gateway turns are easier to attribute from logs and stability diagnostics.
+- QA/Codex harness: add targeted live Docker/Testbox diagnostics, auth preflight checks, cache mount fixes, and app-server protocol checkout discovery so maintainer harness failures are easier to reproduce. Thanks @vincentkoc.
+- QA/Mantis: add `pnpm openclaw qa mantis slack-desktop-smoke` to run Slack live QA inside a Crabbox VNC desktop, open Slack Web, and capture desktop screenshots beside the Slack QA artifacts.
+- QA/Mantis: add visual desktop tasks with Crabbox MP4 recording, screenshot capture, and optional image-understanding assertions, and preserve video artifacts in Mantis before/after reports.
+- QA/Mantis: reuse Crabbox desktop/browser capture tooling and pnpm store caches during Slack desktop smoke runs, reducing per-scenario setup work before screenshots and videos are captured.
+- QA/Mantis: add Slack desktop hydrate modes and per-phase timing reports so warm prehydrated VNC leases can skip source install/build while cold runs still prove the full source checkout.
+- QA/Mantis: pass the runtime env through desktop-browser Crabbox and artifact-copy child commands, so embedded Mantis callers can provide Crabbox credentials without mutating the parent process. Thanks @vincentkoc.
+- QA/Mantis: return the copied Slack desktop screenshot path even when remote Slack QA fails, so the CLI still prints the failure screenshot artifact. Thanks @vincentkoc.
+- QA/Mantis: accept Blacksmith Testbox `tbx_...` lease ids from desktop smoke warmup, so provider overrides do not fail before inspect/run. Thanks @vincentkoc.
+- Plugins/SDK: add bounded `before_agent_finalize` retry instructions so workflow plugins can request one more model pass. Thanks @100yenadmin.
 - Plugin SDK: add plugin-owned `SessionEntry` slot projection and scoped trusted-policy session extension reads. (#75609; replaces part of #73384/#74483) Thanks @100yenadmin.
+- Docs: clarify that IRC uses raw TCP/TLS sockets outside operator-managed forward proxy routing, so direct IRC egress should be explicitly approved before enabling IRC. Thanks @jesse-merhi.
+- Dependencies: refresh runtime and provider packages including Pi 0.73.0, ACPX adapters, OpenAI, Anthropic, Slack, and TypeScript native preview, while keeping the Bedrock runtime installer override pinned below the Windows ARM Node 24 npm resolver failure.
+- Contributor PRs: require external pull requests to include after-fix real behavior proof from a real OpenClaw setup, with terminal screenshots, console output, redacted runtime logs, linked artifacts, and copied live output treated as valid evidence while unit tests, mocks, lint, typechecks, snapshots, and CI remain supplemental only.
+- Plugins/catalog: add an `@tencent-weixin/openclaw-weixin` external entry pinned to `2.4.1` so onboarding and `openclaw channels add` can install the Tencent Weixin (personal WeChat) channel by default. (#77269) Thanks @pumpkinxing1.
+- Developer tooling: add checked-in VS Code Gateway debugging configs and an opt-in `OUTPUT_SOURCE_MAPS=1` source-map build path for breakpoints in TypeScript source. (#45710) Thanks @SwissArmyBud.
+- Managed proxy: add `proxy.loopbackMode` for Gateway loopback control-plane traffic, allowing operators to keep the default Gateway loopback bypass, force loopback Gateway traffic through the proxy, or block it. (#77018) Thanks @jesse-merhi.
+- Telegram/native commands: show the current thinking level above the `/think` level picker so users can see the active setting before changing it. (#78278) Thanks @obviyus.
 
 ### Fixes
 
-- WhatsApp/onboarding: canonicalize setup and pairing allowlist entries to WhatsApp's digit-only phone ids while still accepting E.164, JID, and `whatsapp:` inputs, so personal-phone allowlists match WhatsApp Web sender ids after setup. Thanks @vincentkoc.
-- Gateway/startup: load provider plugins that own explicitly configured image, video, or music generation defaults so generation tools become live after gateway restart instead of remaining catalog-only. Fixes #77244. Thanks @buyuangtampan, @Nikoxx99, and @vincentkoc.
-- Slack/subagents: keep resumed parent `message.send` calls in the originating Slack thread when ambient session thread context is present, and suppress successful silent child completion rows from follow-up findings. Thanks @bek91.
-- WebChat/exec approvals: send `/approve ...` through the existing backend command path immediately while a run is blocked on approval, hydrate pending approval cards after reconnect, and add `openclaw approvals list --gateway` plus `openclaw sessions list --json` so operators can inspect stuck sessions without guessing. Thanks @vincentkoc.
-- Infra/Windows: skip the POSIX `/tmp/openclaw` preferred path on Windows in `resolvePreferredOpenClawTmpDir` so log files, TTS temp files, and other writes land in `%TEMP%\openclaw-<uid>` instead of `C:\tmp\openclaw`. Fixes #60713. Thanks @juan-flores077.
-- Gateway/diagnostics: make stuck-session recovery outcome-driven and generation-guarded, add `diagnostics.stuckSessionAbortMs`, and emit structured recovery requested/completed events so stale or skipped recovery no longer looks like a successful abort.
-- Media/Windows: open saved attachment temp files read/write before fsync so Windows WebChat and `chat.send` media offloads no longer fail with EPERM during durability flush. (#76593) Thanks @qq230849622-a11y.
-- Agents/tools: honor narrow runtime tool allowlists when constructing embedded-runner tool families and bundled MCP/LSP runtimes, so cron/subagent runs that request tools such as `update_plan`, `browser`, `x_search`, channel login tools, or `group:plugins` no longer start with missing tools or unrelated bootstrap work. (#77519, #77532)
-- Codex plugin: mirror the experimental upstream app-server protocol and format generated TypeScript before drift checks, keeping OpenClaw's `experimentalApi` bridge compatible with latest Codex while preserving formatter gates.
-- Telegram/media: derive no-caption inbound media placeholders from saved MIME metadata instead of the Telegram `photo` shape, so non-image and mixed attachments no longer reach the model as `<media:image>`. Fixes #69793. Thanks @aspalagin.
-- Agents/cache: keep per-turn runtime context out of ordinary chat system prompts while still delivering hidden current-turn context, restoring prompt-cache reuse on chat continuations. Fixes #77431. Thanks @Udjin79.
-- Gateway/startup: include resolved thinking and fast-mode defaults in the `agent model` startup log line, defaulting unset startup thinking to `medium` without mixing in reasoning visibility.
-- Gateway/update: resolve local gateway probe auth from the installed config during post-update restart verification, so token/device-authenticated VPS gateways are not misreported as unhealthy port conflicts after a package swap. Thanks @vincentkoc.
-- Agents/Tools: add post-compaction loop guard in `pi-embedded-runner` that arms after auto-compaction-retry and aborts the run with `compaction_loop_persisted` when the agent emits the same `(tool, args, result)` triple `windowSize` times (default 3) within that window. Disable via existing `tools.loopDetection.enabled`; tune via `tools.loopDetection.postCompactionGuard.windowSize`. Targets the failure mode where context-overflow + compaction does not break a tool-call loop. Refs #77474; carries forward #21597. Thanks @efpiva.
-- Gateway/watch: suppress sync-I/O trace output during `pnpm gateway:watch --benchmark` unless explicitly requested, so CPU profiling no longer floods the terminal with stack traces.
-- Gateway/watch: when benchmark sync-I/O tracing is explicitly enabled, tee trace blocks to the benchmark output log and filter them from the terminal pane while keeping normal Gateway logs visible.
-- Plugins/runtime-deps: include `json5` in the memory-core plugin runtime dependency set so packaged `memory_search` sandboxes can resolve generated OpenClaw runtime chunks that parse JSON5 config. Fixes #77461.
-- Codex harness: preserve app-server usage-limit reset details and deliver OpenClaw-owned runtime failure notices through tool-only source-reply mode, so Telegram and other chat channels tell users when Codex subscription limits or API failures block a turn instead of going silent. (#77557) Thanks @pashpashpash.
-- Agents/OpenAI: default direct OpenAI Responses models to the SSE transport instead of WebSocket auto-selection, preventing pi runtime chat turns from hanging on servers where the WebSocket path stalls while the OpenAI HTTP stream works. Thanks @vincentkoc.
-- Plugins/update: repair missing plugin-local `openclaw` peer links before skipping unchanged npm plugin updates, so current external Codex installs can recover `openclaw/plugin-sdk/*` resolution during OTA repair. (#77544) Thanks @ProspectOre.
-- Discord/replies: treat failed final reply delivery as a failed turn instead of counting it as a delivered automatic visible reply, so guild/channel turns no longer show done when the final message was dropped. Fixes #77520. Thanks @Patrick-Erichsen.
-- Discord: prefer IPv4 for Discord REST and gateway WebSocket startup paths so IPv4-only networks no longer stall before Gateway READY and inbound message dispatch. Fixes #77398; refs #77526. Thanks @Beandon13.
-- Channels/plugins: key bundled package-state probes, env/config presence, and read-only command defaults by channel id instead of manifest plugin id, preserving setup and native-command detection for channel plugins whose package id differs from the channel alias. Thanks @vincentkoc.
-- Docker: prune package-excluded plugin dist directories from runtime images unless the build explicitly opts that plugin in, so official external plugins such as Feishu stay install-on-demand instead of shipping partial metadata without compiled runtime output. Fixes #77424. Thanks @vincentkoc.
-- Model switching: include the exact additive allowlist repair command when `/model ... --runtime ...` targets a blocked model, and make Telegram's model picker say that it changes only the session model while leaving the runtime unchanged. Thanks @vincentkoc.
-- Mattermost: clarify that the model picker only changes the session model and that runtime switches require `/oc_model <provider/model> --runtime <runtime>`. Thanks @vincentkoc.
-- Doctor/config: keep active `auth.profiles` metadata intact when `doctor --fix` strips stale secret fields from configs, repairing legacy `<provider>:default` API-key profile metadata when model fallbacks or explicit `model@profile` refs still depend on it. Fixes #77400.
-- Doctor/plugins: include `plugins.allow`-only official plugin ids in the release configured-plugin repair set, so `doctor --fix` installs official external plugins that are configured but not yet loaded instead of removing them as stale allow entries. Fixes #77155. Thanks @hclsys.
-- Doctor/sessions: clear auto-created stale session routing state from the sessions store when `doctor --fix` sees plugin-owned model/runtime/auth/session bindings outside the current configured route, while leaving explicit user model choices for manual review. Refs #68615.
-- CLI/update: disable and skip plugins that fail package-update plugin sync, so a broken npm/ClawHub/git/marketplace plugin cannot turn a successful OpenClaw package update into a failed update result. Thanks @vincentkoc.
-- CLI/update: use an absolute POSIX npm script shell during package-manager updates, so restricted PATH environments can still run dependency lifecycle scripts while updating from `--tag main`. Fixes #77530. Thanks @PeterTremonti.
-- Diagnostics: grant the internal diagnostics event bus to official installed diagnostics exporter plugins, so npm-installed `@openclaw/diagnostics-prometheus` can emit metrics without broadening the capability to arbitrary global plugins. Fixes #76628. Thanks @RayWoo.
-- Browser: enforce strict SSRF current-URL checks before existing-session screenshots, matching existing-session snapshot handling. Thanks @vincentkoc.
-- Active Memory: give timeout partial transcript recovery enough abort-settle headroom so temporary recall summaries are returned before cleanup. Thanks @vincentkoc.
-- Gateway/chat: clear the active reply-run guard before draining queued same-session follow-up turns, so sequential `chat.send` calls no longer trip `ReplyRunAlreadyActiveError` every other request. Fixes #77485. Thanks @bws14email.
-- Agents/media: avoid sending generated image, video, and music attachments twice when streamed reply text arrives before the final `MEDIA:` directive.
-- CLI/sessions: cap `openclaw sessions` output to the newest 100 rows by default and add `--limit <n|all>` plus JSON pagination metadata, so repeated machine polling of large session stores cannot fan out into unbounded per-row enrichment/output work. Fixes #77500. Thanks @Kaotic3.
-- Doctor/config: restore legacy group chat config migrations for `routing.allowFrom`, `routing.groupChat.*`, and `channels.telegram.requireMention` so upgrades keep WhatsApp, Telegram, and iMessage group mention gates and history settings instead of leaving configs invalid or silently blocked. Thanks @scoootscooob.
-- CLI/update: make package-update follow-up processes write completion results and exit explicitly, so Windows packaged upgrades do not hang after the new package finishes post-core plugin work. Thanks @vincentkoc.
-- Release validation: skip Slack live QA unless Slack credentials are explicitly configured, so release gates can keep proving non-Slack surfaces while Slack is still local and credential-gated. Thanks @vincentkoc.
-- Plugins/update: treat OpenClaw CalVer correction versions like `2026.5.3-1` as satisfying base plugin API ranges, so correction builds can install plugins that require the base runtime API. Fixes #77293. (#77450) Thanks @p3nchan.
-- Discord/Gateway startup: retry Discord READY waits with backoff, defer startup `sessions.list` and native approval readiness failures until sidecars recover, and preserve component-only Discord payloads when final reply scrubbing removes all text. (#77478) Thanks @NikolaFC.
-- CLI/launcher: forward termination signals to compile-cache respawn children, so killing a wrapper process no longer leaves the security audit worker orphaned. Fixes #77458. Thanks @jaikharbanda.
-- Plugins/registry: recover managed-npm external plugins from the owned npm root when a stale persisted registry would otherwise hide them after package-manager upgrades. Fixes #77266. Thanks @p3nchan.
-- fix(gateway): clamp unbound websocket auth scopes [AI]. (#77413) Thanks @pgondhi987.
-- Gate zalouser startup name matching [AI]. (#77411) Thanks @pgondhi987.
-- Active Memory: send a bounded latest-message search query to the recall worker so channel/runtime metadata does not become the memory search string. Fixes #65309. Thanks @joeykrug, @westley3601, @pimenov, and @tasi333.
-- fix(device-pair): require pairing scope for pair command [AI]. (#76377) Thanks @pgondhi987.
-- Providers/OpenRouter: keep DeepSeek V4 `reasoning_effort` on OpenRouter-supported values, mapping stale `max` thinking overrides to `xhigh` so `openrouter/deepseek/deepseek-v4-pro` no longer fails with OpenRouter's invalid-effort 400. Fixes #77350. (#77423) Thanks @krllagent, @mushuiyu886, and @sallyom.
-- fix(qqbot): keep private commands off framework surface [AI]. (#77212) Thanks @pgondhi987.
-- Claude CLI: honor non-off `/think` levels by passing Claude Code's session-scoped `--effort` flag through the CLI backend seam, so chat bridges no longer show an inert thinking control. Fixes #77303. Thanks @Petr1t.
-- Agents/subagents: refresh deferred final-delivery payloads when same-session completion output changes, so retried parent notifications use the final child summary instead of stale progress text. Thanks @vincentkoc.
-- Agents/media: route async music and video completion results back through the requester agent, preserving automatic replies while requiring the message tool only for message-tool-only group/channel delivery.
-- active-memory: skip the memory sub-agent gracefully instead of logging a confusing allowlist error when no memory plugin (`memory-core` or `memory-lancedb`) is loaded, so active-memory with no memory backend no longer produces misleading "No callable tools remain" warnings in the gateway log. Fixes #77506. Thanks @hclsys.
-- Memory/wiki: preserve representation from both corpora in `corpus=all` searches while backfilling unused result capacity, so memory hits are not starved by numerically higher wiki integer scores. Fixes #77337. Thanks @hclsys.
-- Docker/compose: pin container-side `OPENCLAW_CONFIG_DIR` and `OPENCLAW_WORKSPACE_DIR` on both gateway and CLI services so the host paths written into `.env` by `scripts/docker/setup.sh` (used as Compose bind-mount sources) cannot leak into runtime code via the `env_file` import. Fixes regressions on macOS Docker setups where the first agent reply died with `EACCES: permission denied, mkdir '/Users'` because the host-style workspace path got persisted into `agents.defaults.workspace`. Fixes #77436. Thanks @lonexreb.
-- Telegram: clean up tool-only draft previews after assistant message boundaries so transient `Surfacing...` tool-status bubbles do not linger when no matching final preview arrives. Thanks @BunsDev.
-- Slack: report `unknown error` instead of `undefined` in socket-mode startup retry logs and label the retry reason explicitly.
-- Telegram: let explicit forum-topic `requireMention` settings override persisted `/activate` and `/deactivate` state, so per-topic mention gates work consistently. Fixes #49864. Thanks @Panniantong.
-- Cron: surface failed isolated-run diagnostics in `cron show`, status, and run history when requested tools are unavailable, so blocked cron runs report the actual tool-policy failure instead of a misleading green result. Fixes #75763. Thanks @RyanSandoval.
-- TUI/escape abort: track the in-flight runId after `chat.send` resolves so pressing Esc during the gap before the first gateway event aborts the run instead of repeatedly printing `no active run`. Fixes #1296. Thanks @Lukavyi and @romneyda.
-- TUI/render: stop the long-token sanitizer from injecting literal spaces inside inline code spans, fenced code blocks, table borders, and bare hyphenated/dotted identifiers, so copied package names, entity IDs, and shell line-continuations stay byte-for-byte intact while narrow-terminal protection still chunks unidentifiable long prose tokens. Fixes #48432, #39505. Thanks @DocOellerson, @xeusoc, @CCcassiusdjs, @akramcodez, @brokemac79, @romneyda.
-- Plugin skills: publish plugin-declared skills through the generated plugin skills directory (`~/.openclaw/plugin-skills/`) while keeping direct prompt loading intact, so agent file-based discovery paths find plugin skill `SKILL.md` files and inactive plugin links are cleaned up. Fixes #77296. (#77328) Thanks @zhangguiping-xydt.
-- Gateway/status: label Linux managed gateway services as `systemd user`, making status output explicit about the user-service scope instead of implying a system-level unit. Thanks @vincentkoc.
-- Plugins/install: remove the previous managed plugin directory when a reinstall switches sources, so stale ClawHub and npm copies no longer keep duplicate plugin ids in discovery after the new install wins. Thanks @vincentkoc.
-- Plugins/install: let official plugin reinstall recovery repair source-only installed runtime shadows, so `openclaw plugins install npm:@openclaw/discord --force` can replace the bad package instead of stopping at stale config validation. Thanks @vincentkoc.
-- CLI/update: stage pnpm-detected npm-layout global package updates through a clean npm prefix swap, keep plugin install runtime imports behind a stable alias, and ship legacy install-runtime aliases back to `2026.3.22`, preventing stale overlay chunks from breaking plugin post-update sync. Thanks @vincentkoc.
-- Plugins/commands: allow the official ClawHub Codex plugin package to keep reserved `/codex` command ownership, matching the existing npm-managed Codex package behavior. Thanks @vincentkoc.
-- Auth/OpenAI Codex: rewrite invalidated per-agent Codex auth-order and session profile overrides toward a healthy relogin profile, so revoked OAuth accounts do not stay pinned after signing in again. Thanks @BunsDev.
-- Plugins/commands: scope QQBot framework slash commands to the QQBot channel so `/bot-*` command handlers and native specs do not leak onto unrelated chat surfaces. Thanks @vincentkoc.
-- fix: harden backend message action gateway routing [AI]. (#76374) Thanks @pgondhi987.
-- Gate QQBot streaming command auth [AI]. (#76375) Thanks @pgondhi987.
-- Plugins/discovery: ignore managed npm plugin packages that only expose TypeScript source entries without compiled runtime output, so stale/broken installs cannot hide a working bundled or reinstallable channel plugin during setup. Thanks @vincentkoc.
-- CLI/update: treat OpenClaw stable correction versions like `2026.5.3-1` as newer than their base stable release, so package updates no longer ask for downgrade confirmation. Thanks @vincentkoc.
-- Plugins/install: suppress dangerous-pattern scanner warnings for trusted official OpenClaw npm installs, so installing `@openclaw/discord` no longer prints credential-harvesting warnings for the official package. Thanks @vincentkoc.
-- Plugins/commands: suppress dangerous-pattern scanner warnings for trusted catalog npm installs from owner-gated `/plugins install` commands, so chat-driven installs match the CLI install trust path. Thanks @vincentkoc.
-- Plugins/release: make the published npm runtime verifier reject blank `openclaw.runtimeExtensions` entries instead of treating them as absent and passing via inferred outputs. Thanks @vincentkoc.
-- Plugins/security: ignore inline and block comments when matching source-rule context in plugin install scans, so comment-only `fetch`/`post` references near environment defaults do not block clean plugins. Thanks @vincentkoc.
-- Doctor/plugins: remove stale managed install records for bundled plugins even when the bundled plugin is not explicitly configured, so doctor cleanup cannot leave orphaned install metadata behind. Thanks @vincentkoc.
-- Web fetch: scope provider fallback cache entries by the selected fetch provider so config reloads cannot reuse another provider's cached fallback payload. Thanks @vincentkoc.
-- Web search: honor late-bound `tools.web.search.enabled: false` during tool execution so config reloads cannot leave an already-created `web_search` tool runnable. Thanks @vincentkoc.
-- Plugins/packages: reject inferred built runtime entries that exist but fail package-boundary checks instead of falling back to TypeScript source for installed packages. Thanks @vincentkoc.
-- Plugins/loader: do not retry native-loaded JavaScript plugin modules through the source transformer after native evaluation has already reached a missing dependency, avoiding duplicate top-level side effects. Thanks @vincentkoc.
-- Plugins/packages: reject blank `openclaw.runtimeExtensions` entries instead of silently ignoring them and falling back to inferred TypeScript runtime entries. Thanks @vincentkoc.
-- Doctor/plugins: remove stale managed npm plugin shadow entries from the managed package lock as well as `package.json` and `node_modules`, so future npm operations do not keep referencing repaired bundled-plugin shadows. Thanks @vincentkoc.
-- Plugins/runtime state: keep the key being registered when namespace eviction runs in the same millisecond as existing entries, so `register` and `registerIfAbsent` do not report success while evicting their own fresh value. Thanks @vincentkoc.
-- Plugins/providers: make bundled provider discovery honor restrictive `plugins.allow` by default for new configs, while doctor migrates legacy restrictive allowlist configs to `plugins.bundledDiscovery: "compat"` to preserve upgrade behavior. Thanks @dougbtv.
-- Control UI/Talk: make failed Talk startup errors dismissable and clear the stale Talk error state when dismissed, so missing realtime voice provider configuration does not leave a permanent chat banner. Fixes #77071. Thanks @ijoshdavis.
-- Control UI/Talk: stop and clear failed realtime Talk sessions when dismissing runtime error banners, so the next Talk click starts a fresh session instead of only stopping the stale one. Thanks @vincentkoc.
-- Control UI/Talk: retry from a failed realtime Talk session on the next Talk click instead of requiring a separate stale-session stop click first. Thanks @vincentkoc.
-- Canvas host: preserve the Gateway TLS scheme in browser canvas host URLs and startup mount logs, so direct HTTPS gateways do not advertise insecure canvas links. Thanks @vincentkoc.
-- WhatsApp/login: route login success and failure messages through the injected runtime, so setup/onboarding surfaces capture all login output instead of only the QR. Thanks @vincentkoc.
-- Google Chat: create an isolated Google auth transport per auth client, so google-auth-library interceptor mutations do not accumulate across webhook verification and access-token clients. Thanks @vincentkoc.
-- Doctor/plugins: remove orphaned or recovered managed npm copies of bundled `@openclaw/*` plugins during `doctor --fix`, so stale package manifests cannot shadow the current bundled plugin config schema.
-- Control UI/performance: cap long-task and long-animation-frame diagnostics in the shared event log, so slow-render telemetry does not evict gateway/plugin events from the Debug and Overview views. Thanks @vincentkoc.
-- Gateway/startup: log the canvas host mount only after the HTTP server has bound, so startup logs no longer report the canvas host as mounted before it can serve requests.
-- Control UI/i18n: render the Sessions active filter tooltip with the configured minute count in every locale and make the i18n check reject placeholder drift. Thanks @BunsDev.
-- Web fetch: late-bind `web_fetch` config and provider fallback metadata from the active runtime snapshot, matching `web_search` so long-lived tools do not use stale fetch provider settings. Thanks @vincentkoc.
-- Discord: clear stale startup probe bot/application status when the async bot probe throws, not just when it returns a degraded probe result. Thanks @vincentkoc.
-- Web search: scope explicit bundled `web_search` provider runtime loading through manifest ownership, so selecting DuckDuckGo/Gemini/etc. does not import unrelated bundled providers or log their optional dependency failures. Thanks @vincentkoc.
-- Plugins/discovery: demote the source-only TypeScript runtime check on already-installed `origin: "global"` plugin packages from a config-blocking error to a warning and let the runtime fall through to the TypeScript source via jiti, so a single broken installed package no longer blocks `plugins install` for unrelated plugins; install-time rejection of newly-installed source-only packages is unchanged. Thanks @romneyda.
-- Providers/OpenAI Codex: stop the OAuth progress spinner before showing the manual redirect paste prompt, so callback timeouts do not spam `Browser callback did not finish` across terminals.
-- Providers/OpenAI Codex: fail closed on malformed `/codex` control commands and diagnostics confirmations before changing bindings, permissions, model overrides, active turns, or feedback uploads. Thanks @vincentkoc.
-- Providers/OpenAI Codex: sanitize Codex app-server command readouts, failure replies, approval prompts, elicitation prompts, and `request_user_input` text before posting them back into chat. Thanks @vincentkoc.
-- Providers/OpenAI Codex: preserve local bound-turn image paths, reject stale same-thread turn notifications, enforce option-only user input prompts, and return failed dynamic tool results to Codex as unsuccessful tool calls. Thanks @vincentkoc.
-- Providers/DeepSeek: expose DeepSeek V4 `xhigh` and `max` thinking levels through the lightweight provider-policy surface, so Control UI `/think` pickers keep showing the max reasoning options when the runtime plugin registry is not active. Fixes #77139. Thanks @bittoby.
-- Release/beta smoke: resolve the dispatched Telegram beta E2E run from `gh run list` when `gh workflow run` returns no run URL, so the maintainer helper does not fail immediately after dispatch. Thanks @vincentkoc.
-- Media/images: keep HEIC/HEIF attachments fail-closed when optional Sharp conversion is unavailable instead of sending originals that still need conversion. Thanks @vincentkoc.
+- OpenAI/Codex: suppress stale `openai-codex` GPT-5.1/5.2/5.3 model refs that ChatGPT/Codex OAuth accounts now reject, keeping model lists, config validation, and forward-compat resolution on current 5.4/5.5 routes. Fixes #67158. Thanks @drpau.
+- Google Meet/Voice Call: wait longer before playing PIN-derived Twilio DTMF for Meet dial-in prompts and retire stale delegated phone sessions instead of reusing completed calls.
+- PDF/Codex: include extraction-fallback instructions for `openai-codex/*` PDF tool requests so Codex Responses receives its required system prompt. Fixes #77872. Thanks @anyech.
+- Onboard/channels: recover externalized channel plugins from stale `channels.<id>` config by falling back to `ensureChannelSetupPluginInstalled` via the trusted catalog when the plugin is missing on disk, so leftover `appId`/token entries no longer dead-end onboard with "<channel> plugin not available." (#78328) Thanks @sliverp.
+- Codex/app-server: forward the OpenClaw workspace bootstrap block through Codex `developerInstructions` instead of `config.instructions`, so persona/style guidance reaches the behavior-shaping app-server lane. Fixes #77363. Thanks @lonexreb.
+- CLI/infer: pass minimal instructions to local `openai-codex/*` model probes and surface provider error details when `infer model run` returns no text. Fixes #76464. Thanks @lilesjtu.
+- Dependencies: override transitive `ip-address` to `10.2.0` so the runtime lockfile no longer includes the vulnerable `10.1.0` build flagged by Dependabot alert 109. Thanks @vincentkoc.
+- Feishu: hydrate missing native topic starter thread IDs before session routing so first turns and follow-ups stay in the same topic session. Fixes #78262. Thanks @joeyzenghuan.
+- LINE: reject `dmPolicy: "open"` configs without wildcard `allowFrom` so webhook DMs fail validation instead of being acknowledged and silently blocked before inbound processing. Fixes #78316.
+- Telegram/Codex: keep message-tool-only progress drafts visible and render native Codex tool progress once per tool instead of duplicating item/tool draft lines. Fixes #75641. (#77949) Thanks @keshavbotagent.
+- Providers/xAI: stop sending OpenAI-style reasoning effort controls to native Grok Responses models, so `xai/grok-4.3` no longer fails live Docker/Gateway runs with `Invalid reasoning effort`.
+- Providers/xAI: clamp the bundled xAI thinking profile to `off` so live Gateway runs cannot send unsupported reasoning levels to native Grok Responses models.
+- Matrix/approvals: retry approval delivery up to 3 times with a short backoff so transient Matrix send failures do not strand pending approval prompts. (#78179) Thanks @Patrick-Erichsen.
+- Discord/gateway: measure heartbeat ACK timeouts from the actual heartbeat send, preventing late initial heartbeats from triggering false reconnect loops while the channel is still awaiting readiness. Fixes #77668. (#78087) Thanks @bryce-d-greybeard and @NikolaFC.
+- Channels/cron: ignore stale runtime conversation bindings that point at completed isolated cron run sessions, so follow-up DMs fall back to their normal route instead of reusing a closed cron task prompt. Fixes #78074. Thanks @amknight.
+- Discord/guilds: route plain text control commands such as `/steer` through the normal authorization and mention gate instead of silently dropping them before an agent session can see them. Fixes #78080. Thanks @ramitrkar-hash.
+- Control UI/Sessions: make the compaction count a compact `N Checkpoint(s)` disclosure and show expanded session-level details with modern checkpoint history cards across responsive table layouts. Thanks @BunsDev.
+- Control UI/performance: keep chat and channel tabs responsive while history payloads and channel probes are slow, label partial channel status, and record slow chat/config render timings in the event log. Thanks @BunsDev.
+- Control UI/sessions: fire the documented `/new` command and lifecycle hooks only for explicit Control UI session creation, restoring session-memory and custom hook capture without changing SDK parent-session creates. Fixes #76957. Thanks @BunsDev.
+- Exec approvals: fall back to a guarded copy when Windows rejects rename-overwrite for `exec-approvals.json`, while preserving symlink, hard-link, and owner-only permission safeguards. Fixes #77785. (#77907) Thanks @Alex-Alaniz and @MilleniumGenAI.
+- Slack: preserve Socket Mode SDK error context and structured Slack API fields in reconnect logs, so startup failures no longer collapse to a bare `unknown error`.
+- Agents/subagents: preserve the delegated task prompt when a spawned target agent uses `systemPromptOverride`, so `sessions_spawn(mode: "run")` child runs still see their assigned task. Fixes #77950. Thanks @amknight.
+- iOS pairing: allow setup-code and manual `ws://` connects for private LAN and `.local` gateways while keeping Tailscale/public routes on `wss://`, and prefer explicit gateway passwords over stale bootstrap tokens in mixed-auth reconnects. Fixes #47887; carries forward #65185. Thanks @draix and @BunsDev.
+- Node/Windows: fall back to the Startup-folder launcher when Spanish-localized `schtasks` reports `Acceso denegado`, matching the existing access-denied fallback path. Fixes #77993. Thanks @jackonedev.
+- Plugins/diagnostics: make source-only TypeScript package warnings actionable by explaining that missing compiled runtime output is a publisher packaging issue and pointing users to update/reinstall or disable/uninstall the plugin. Fixes #77835. Thanks @googlerest.
+- Control UI/chat: keep persisted assistant progress text visible when the same transcript turn also contains tool-use metadata, so chat.history reloads no longer make those replies vanish after the next user message. Fixes #77374. Thanks @BunsDev.
+- TUI: skip the generic CLI respawn wrapper for interactive launches, exit cleanly on terminal loss, and refuse to restore heartbeat sessions as the remembered chat session, preventing stale heartbeat history and orphaned `openclaw-tui` processes on first boot. Thanks @vincentkoc.
+- Doctor/sessions: move heartbeat-poisoned default main session store entries to recovery keys and clear stale TUI restore pointers, so `doctor --fix` can repair instances already stuck on `agent:main:main` heartbeat history. Thanks @vincentkoc.
+- Agents/context engines: keep hidden OpenClaw runtime-context custom messages out of context-engine assemble, afterTurn, and ingest hooks so transcript reconstruction plugins only see conversation messages. Thanks @vincentkoc.
+- Network/runtime: avoid importing Undici's package dispatcher during no-proxy timeout bootstrap so external channel plugin fetch requests with explicit Content-Length keep working. Fixes #78007. Thanks @shakkernerd.
+- Gateway/shutdown: cancel delayed post-ready maintenance during close and suppress maintenance/cron startup after quick restarts, preventing orphaned background timers. Thanks @vincentkoc.
+- Agents/generated media: treat attachment-style message tool actions as completed chat sends, preventing duplicate fallback media posts when generated files were already uploaded.
+- Control UI/sessions: show each session's agent runtime in the Sessions table and allow filtering by runtime labels, matching the Agents panel runtime wording. Thanks @vincentkoc.
+- Discord/streaming: show live reasoning text in progress drafts instead of a bare `Reasoning` status line.
+- Gateway/status: avoid marking fast repeated health/status samples as event-loop degraded from CPU/utilization alone until the Gateway has accumulated a sustained sampling window. Thanks @shakkernerd.
+- Gateway/performance: reuse the current compatible plugin metadata snapshot across hot read-only status, channel, auth, skills, and embedded agent settings paths, avoiding repeated synchronous plugin metadata scans during Gateway activity. Fixes #77983. Thanks @shakkernerd.
+- Plugins/update: keep installed official npm and ClawHub plugins such as Codex, Discord, WhatsApp, and diagnostics plugins synced during host updates even when disabled or previously exact-pinned, while preserving third-party plugin pins. Thanks @vincentkoc.
+- Doctor/status: warn when `OPENCLAW_GATEWAY_TOKEN` would shadow a different active `gateway.auth.token` source for local CLI commands, while avoiding false positives when config points at the same env token. Fixes #74271. Thanks @yelog.
+- Gateway/HTTP: avoid loading managed outgoing-image media handlers for unrelated requests, so disabled OpenAI-compatible routes return 404 without waiting on lazy media sidecars. Thanks @vincentkoc.
+- Gateway/OpenAI-compatible: send the assistant role SSE chunk as soon as streaming chat-completion headers are accepted, so cold agent setup cannot leave `/v1/chat/completions` clients with a bodyless 200 response until their idle timeout fires.
+- Agents/media: avoid direct generated-media completion fallback while the announce-agent run is still pending, so async video and music completions do not duplicate raw media messages. (#77754)
+- WebChat/Codex media: stage Codex app-server generated local images into managed media before Gateway display, so Codex-home image paths no longer hit `LocalMediaAccessError` while keeping Codex home out of the display allowlist. Thanks @frankekn.
+- Plugins/update: repair plugin-local `openclaw` peer links for all recorded npm plugins after any npm update mutates the shared managed npm tree, so targeted or batch updates cannot leave Codex, Discord, or Brave with pruned SDK imports. (#77787) Thanks @ProspectOre.
+- Codex harness: honor `models.providers.openai-codex.models[].contextTokens` for native `openai/*` Codex runtime runs and `/status` context reporting, so subscription-backed Codex agents use the configured OAuth context cap without inflating past the runtime model window. Fixes #77858. Thanks @lilesjtu.
+- TUI/sessions: bound the session picker to recent rows and use exact lookup-style refreshes for the active session, so dusty stores no longer make TUI hydrate weeks-old transcripts before becoming responsive. Thanks @vincentkoc.
+- Doctor/gateway: report recent supervisor restart handoffs in `openclaw doctor --deep`, using the installed service environment when available so service-managed clean exits are visible in guided diagnostics. Thanks @shakkernerd.
+- Gateway/status: show recent supervisor restart handoffs in `openclaw gateway status --deep`, including JSON details, so clean service-managed restarts are reported as restart handoffs instead of opaque stopped-service diagnostics. Thanks @shakkernerd.
+- Providers/Fireworks: expose Kimi models as thinking-off-only and keep K2.5/K2.6 requests on `thinking: disabled`, so manual model switches do not send Fireworks-rejected `reasoning*` parameters. Refs #74289. Thanks @frankekn.
+- WhatsApp responsiveness: stop only verified stale local TUI clients when they degrade the Gateway event loop and delay replies. Thanks @vincentkoc.
+- Hooks/session-memory: add collision suffixes to fallback memory filenames so repeated `/new` or `/reset` captures in the same minute do not overwrite the earlier session archive. Thanks @vincentkoc.
+- Agents/config: remove the ambiguous legacy `main` agent dir helper from runtime paths; model, auth, gateway, bundled plugin, and test helpers now resolve default/session agent dirs through `agents.list`/agent-scope helpers while plugin SDK keeps a deprecated compatibility export.
+- CLI/status: show the selected agent runtime/harness in `openclaw status` session rows so terminal status matches the `/status` runtime line. Thanks @vincentkoc.
+- CLI/sessions: prune old unreferenced transcript, compaction checkpoint, and trajectory artifacts during normal `sessions cleanup`, so gateway restart or crash orphans do not accumulate indefinitely outside `sessions.json`. Fixes #77608. Thanks @slideshow-dingo.
+- Doctor/Codex: repair legacy `openai-codex/*` routes in primary models, fallbacks, heartbeat/subagent/compaction overrides, hooks, channel overrides, and stale session pins to canonical `openai/*`, selecting `agentRuntime.id: "codex"` only when the Codex plugin is installed, enabled, contributes the `codex` harness, and has usable OAuth; otherwise select `agentRuntime.id: "pi"`. Thanks @vincentkoc.
+- Video generation: wait up to 20 minutes for slow fal/MiniMax queue-backed jobs, stop forwarding unsupported Google Veo generated-audio options, and normalize MiniMax `720P` requests to its supported `768P` resolution with the usual override warning/details instead of failing fallback.
+- Video generation: accept provider-specific aspect-ratio and resolution hints at the tool boundary, normalize `720P` to MiniMax's supported `768P`, and stop sending Google `generateAudio` on Gemini video requests so provider fallback can recover from model-specific parameter differences. Thanks @vincentkoc.
+- Channels/durable delivery: preserve channel-specific final reply semantics when using durable sends, including Telegram selected quotes and silent error replies plus WhatsApp message-sending cancellations.
+- Channels/message lifecycle: build legacy channel delivery results from message receipts and add receipts to BlueBubbles, Feishu, Google Chat, iMessage, IRC, LINE, Nextcloud Talk, QQ Bot, Signal, Synology Chat, Tlon, Twitch, WhatsApp, Zalo, and Zalo Personal send results and owner-path reply delivery plus Discord, Matrix, Mattermost, Slack, and Teams send results while preserving existing message id compatibility.
+- iMessage: run durable final replies through the iMessage outbound sanitizer before sending, matching direct auto-reply delivery and preventing assistant-internal scaffolding from leaking through queued delivery.
+- OpenAI/Google Meet: fail realtime voice connection attempts when the socket closes before `session.updated`, avoiding stuck Meet joins waiting on a bridge that never became ready. Thanks @vincentkoc.
+- Hooks/session-memory: run reset memory capture off the command reply path and make model-generated memory filename slugs opt-in with `llmSlug: true`, so `/new` and `/reset` no longer block WhatsApp and other message-channel reset replies on hook housekeeping or a nested model call. Thanks @vincentkoc.
+- CLI/plugins: handle closed stdin during `plugins uninstall` confirmation prompt and exit 1 with actionable `--force` guidance instead of crashing with Node exit 13 unsettled top-level await. Fixes #73562. (#73566) Thanks @ai-hpc.
+- CLI/channels: skip config, proxy, channel-option catalog, banner-config, and plugin startup bootstrap for the bare `openclaw channels` parent-help command, so it exits promptly after printing help instead of loading configured channel plugins. Thanks @vincentkoc.
+- CLI/gateway: pause non-TTY stdin after full CLI command completion and stop `openclaw agent` from falling back to embedded mode after gateway request/auth failures, so parent help commands exit cleanly and scoped delivery probes surface the real Gateway error immediately. Thanks @vincentkoc.
+- Gateway/model catalog: cache empty read-only model catalog results until reload, so TUI and control-plane refresh loops cannot hammer plugin metadata reads when no usable models are currently discovered. Thanks @vincentkoc.
+- CLI/update: make dev-channel preflight lint opt-in and constrained when enabled, so `openclaw update --channel dev` no longer walks back otherwise-good main commits when Ubuntu hosts OOM-kill or fail parallel oxlint shards. Thanks @vincentkoc.
 - Google Meet: fork the caller's current agent transcript into agent-mode meeting consultant sessions, so Meet replies inherit the context from the tool call that joined the meeting.
-- iOS/mobile pairing: reject non-loopback `ws://` setup URLs before QR/setup-code issuance and let the iOS Gateway settings screen scan QR codes or paste full setup-code messages. Thanks @BunsDev.
-- Control UI: keep Gateway Access inputs and locale picker contained inside the card at narrow and tablet widths.
-- Agents/trajectory: bound runtime trajectory capture and yield queued sidecar writes so oversized traces stop recording instead of monopolizing Gateway cleanup. Fixes #77124. Thanks @loyur.
-- Telegram/streaming: sanitize tool-progress draft preview backticks before shared compaction, so long backtick-heavy progress text still renders inside the safe code-formatted preview instead of collapsing to an ellipsis.
-- UI/chat: remove the unsupported `line-clamp` declaration from the chat queue text rule to eliminate Firefox console noise without changing visible truncation behavior. Thanks @ZanderH-code.
-- Control UI: add explicit feedback for repeated actions by announcing session switches, flashing the active session selector, showing inline Save/Apply/Update progress, and distinguishing filtered-empty session lists from genuinely empty session stores. Thanks @BunsDev.
-- Agents/Pi: suppress persistence for synthetic mid-turn overflow continuation prompts, so transcript-retry recovery does not write the "continue from transcript" prompt as a new user turn. Thanks @vincentkoc.
-- Agents/tools: strip reasoning text from visible rich presentation titles, blocks, buttons, and select labels before message-tool sends, so structured channel payloads cannot leak hidden planning. Thanks @vincentkoc.
-- Telegram: keep reply-dispatch lazy provider runtime chunks behind stable dist names and delete `/reasoning stream` previews after final delivery so package updates and live reasoning drafts do not leave Telegram turns broken or noisy. Thanks @BunsDev.
-- Discord: start the gateway monitor without waiting for the startup bot/application probe, so WSL2 hosts with a slow `/users/@me` REST path still bring the channel online while status enrichment finishes asynchronously. Fixes #77103. Thanks @Suited78.
-- Exec approvals: detect `env -S` split-string command-carrier risks when `-S`/`-s` is combined with other env short options, so approval explanations do not miss split payloads hidden behind `env -iS...`. Thanks @vincentkoc.
 - Google Meet: log the concrete agent-mode TTS provider, model, voice, output format, and sample rate after speech synthesis, so Meet logs show which voice backend spoke each reply.
-- Voice Call: mark realtime calls completed when the realtime provider closes normally, so Twilio/OpenAI/Google realtime stop events do not leave active call records behind. Thanks @vincentkoc.
-- Gateway/update: keep the shutdown close path behind a stable runtime chunk and ship compatibility aliases for recent `server-close-*` hashes, so manual npm package replacement cannot leave an already-running Gateway unable to shut down cleanly. Fixes #77087. Thanks @westlife219.
-- Control UI/media: mint short-lived scoped tickets for assistant media fetches and render ticketed URLs instead of exposing long-lived auth tokens in chat image URLs. Fixes #70830 and #77097. Thanks @hclsys.
-- Exec approvals: treat POSIX `exec` as a command carrier for inline eval, shell-wrapper, and eval/source detection, so approval explanations and command-risk checks do not miss payloads hidden behind `exec`. Thanks @vincentkoc.
 - Google Meet: log the resolved audio provider model when starting Chrome and paired-node Meet talk-back bridges, so agent-mode joins show the STT model and bidi joins show the realtime voice model.
-- Diagnostics: handle missing session-tail files in cron recovery context without tripping extension test typecheck. Thanks @vincentkoc.
-- QA/Slack: update the Slack dispatch preview fallback test SDK mock for structured progress draft helpers, so the rich progress draft regression suite covers the new imports instead of failing before assertions run. Thanks @vincentkoc.
-- Release validation: allow focused QA live reruns to select Matrix and Telegram without running Slack, so known Slack credential-pool outages do not block non-Slack live proof. Thanks @vincentkoc.
-- Plugins/loader: keep bundled plugin package `test-api.js` aliases behind private QA mode, so source transforms do not expose test-only public surfaces during normal plugin loading. Thanks @vincentkoc.
-- Gateway/startup: start cron and record the post-ready memory trace even when deferred maintenance timers fail after readiness, so a non-fatal timer setup issue does not silently leave scheduled jobs idle. Thanks @vincentkoc.
-- Exec approvals: unwrap BSD/macOS `env -P <path>` carrier commands before approval-command and strict inline-eval checks, so `/approve` shell execution and inline interpreter payloads are still blocked behind that env form.
-- Agents/session status: keep semantic `session_status({ sessionKey: "current" })` on the live run session even before that run has a persisted session-store entry, instead of falling back to the sandbox policy key. Thanks @vincentkoc.
-- QA/Slack: resolve bundled official plugin public-surface package aliases during source-mode QA runs, so release Slack live validation can load `@openclaw/slack/api.js` without workspace symlinks. Thanks @vincentkoc.
-- Codex: pass the live run session key into app-server dynamic tools when sandbox policy uses a separate session key, so `session_status({ sessionKey: "current" })` reports the active run instead of the sandbox policy key. Thanks @vincentkoc.
-- Web search: keep first-class assistant `web_search` auto-detect and configured runtime providers visible when active runtime metadata or the active plugin registry is incomplete. Fixes #77073. Thanks @joeykrug.
-- Plugins/tools: mark manifest-optional sibling tools as optional even when they come from a shared non-optional factory, so cached/status/MCP metadata keeps opt-in tool policy accurate. Thanks @vincentkoc.
-- Matrix: keep `streaming.progress.toolProgress` scoped to progress draft mode, so partial and quiet Matrix previews do not lose tool progress unless `streaming.preview.toolProgress` is disabled. Thanks @vincentkoc.
-- Gateway/validation: isolate gateway server validation files, ignore unrelated startup logs in request-trace coverage, and fail fast on stuck shared-auth sockets, reducing false main-branch CI failures for contributors. Thanks @amknight.
-- Channels/streaming: keep `streaming.progress.toolProgress` scoped to progress draft mode, so disabling compact progress lines does not silence partial/block preview tool updates. Thanks @vincentkoc.
-- Plugins/update: treat OpenClaw stable correction versions like `2026.5.3-1` as stable releases for npm installs, plugin updates, and bundled-version comparisons, so `latest` can advance official plugins without prerelease opt-in. Thanks @vincentkoc.
-- Control UI: point the Appearance tweakcn browse action and docs at the live tweakcn editor route instead of the removed `/themes` page. Fixes #77048.
-- Control UI: render Dream Diary prose through the sanitized markdown pipeline, so diary bold/italic/header markdown no longer appears as literal source text. Fixes #62413.
-- Control UI: render tool results whose output arrives as text-block arrays and give expanded tool output a scrollable block, so read/exec output remains visible in WebChat. Fixes #77054.
-- MCP: include serialized conversation/message payloads in the primary text content for `conversations_list` and `messages_read`, while preserving `structuredContent` for capable clients. Fixes #77024.
-- Media: treat `EPERM` from the post-write media fsync step as best-effort, allowing WebChat and channel uploads to finish on Windows filesystems that reject `fsync` after a successful write. Fixes #76844.
-- Media/Telegram: send in-limit original images when optional image optimization is unavailable, so Telegram MEDIA replies and message-tool image sends do not fail just because `sharp` is missing. Fixes #77081. (#77117) Thanks @pfrederiksen.
-- Diagnostics: include last progress, cron job/run ids, stopped cron job name, and the last assistant transcript snippet in stalled-session and stuck-session recovery logs so cron stalls show what was stopped.
-- Streaming channels: add `streaming.preview.commandText: "status"` / `streaming.progress.commandText: "status"` to hide command/exec text in preview progress lines while keeping the released raw command text default. Fixes #77072.
-- Agents/cron: let explicit cron `timeoutSeconds` drive both CLI no-output and embedded LLM idle watchdogs instead of being capped by resume defaults. Fixes #76289.
-- Plugins/catalog: suppress missing `channelConfigs` compatibility diagnostics for external channel plugins that are disabled, denied, or outside a restrictive allowlist. Fixes #76095.
-- Diagnostics: keep webhook/message OTEL attributes and Prometheus delivery labels low-cardinality and omit raw chat/message IDs from spans, so progress-draft and message-tool modes do not leak high-cardinality messaging identifiers.
 - Google Meet: stop advertising legacy `mode: "realtime"` to agents and config UIs, while keeping it as a hidden compatibility alias for `mode: "agent"`, so new joins use the STT -> OpenClaw agent -> TTS path instead of selecting the direct realtime voice fallback.
 - Google Meet: add `chrome.audioBufferBytes` for generated command-pair SoX audio commands and lower the default buffer from SoX's 8192 bytes to 4096 bytes to reduce Chrome talk-back latency.
 - Google Meet: split realtime provider config into agent-mode transcription and bidi-mode voice providers, and migrate legacy Gemini Live bidi configs with `doctor --fix`, so Gemini Live can back direct bidi fallback without breaking the default OpenClaw agent talk-back path.

 - Google Meet: expose `voiceCall.postDtmfSpeechDelayMs` in the plugin manifest schema and setup hints, so manifest-based config editing accepts the runtime-supported Twilio delay key. Thanks @vincentkoc.
 - Google Meet: keep explicit non-Google `realtime.provider` values as the transcription provider compatibility fallback when `realtime.transcriptionProvider` is unset. Thanks @vincentkoc.
 - Google Meet: make Twilio setup status require an enabled `voice-call` plugin entry instead of treating a missing entry as ready. Thanks @vincentkoc.
-- Telegram: render shared interactive reply buttons in reply delivery so plugin approval messages show inline keyboards. (#76238) Thanks @keshavbotagent.
-- Cron/sessions: keep cron metadata rows without an on-disk transcript non-resumable until a transcript exists, so doctor and `sessions cleanup --fix-missing` no longer report or prune pre-transcript cron rows as broken sessions. Refs #77011.
-- OpenAI Codex: recreate missing bound app-server threads once when a stale `/codex bind` sidecar survives a restart, preserving the selected auth profile and turn overrides before retrying the inbound turn. (#76936) Thanks @keshavbotagent.
-- Agents/cli-runner: drop a saved `claude-cli` resume sessionId at preparation time when its on-disk transcript no longer exists in `~/.claude/projects/`, so a stale binding from a half-installed `update.run` cannot trap follow-up runs (auto-reply / Telegram direct) in a `claude --resume` timeout loop; the run starts fresh and the new sessionId is written back through the existing post-run flow. (#77030; refs #77011) Thanks @openperf.
-- Release validation: install the cross-OS TypeScript harness through Windows-safe Node/npm shims so native Windows package checks reach the OpenClaw smoke suites instead of exiting before artifact capture. Thanks @vincentkoc.
-- Release validation: let Windows packaged-upgrade checks continue after the shipped 2026.5.2 updater hits its native-module swap cleanup fallback, verifying the fallback-installed candidate through package metadata and downstream smoke instead of crashing on the immediate update-status probe. Thanks @vincentkoc.
-- Doctor/plugins: skip channel-derived official plugin installs when another configured plugin is the effective owner for the same channel, so `doctor --repair` does not reinstall `feishu` while `openclaw-lark` handles `channels.feishu`. Fixes #76623. Thanks @fuyizheng3120.
-- Gateway/sessions: memoize repeated thinking-option enrichment and skip unused cost fallback checks while listing sessions, reducing per-row work on large multi-agent stores. Fixes #76931.
-- Gateway/sessions: bound default `sessions.list` RPC responses and report truncation metadata, preventing Slack-heavy long-lived stores from forcing unbounded Gateway row construction. Fixes #77062.
-- Agents/tools: use config-only runtime snapshots for plugin tool registration and live runtime config getters, avoiding expensive full secrets snapshot clones on the core-plugin-tools prep path. Fixes #76295.
-- Agents/tools: honor the effective tool denylist before constructing optional PDF/media tool factories, so `tools.deny: ["pdf"]` skips PDF setup before later policy filtering. Fixes #76997.
-- MCP/plugin tools: apply global `tools.profile`, `tools.alsoAllow`, and `tools.deny` policy while exposing plugin tools over the standalone MCP bridge, so ACP clients do not see policy-hidden plugin tools or miss opt-in optional tools. Thanks @vincentkoc.
-- Plugin tools: honor explicit tool denylists while selecting plugin tool runtimes, so denied plugin tools are not materialized for direct command or gateway surfaces before later policy filtering. Thanks @vincentkoc.
-- Plugin tools: filter factory-returned tools by manifest per-tool optional policy, so optional sibling tools from a shared runtime factory stay hidden unless explicitly allowed. Thanks @vincentkoc.
-- Agents/transcripts: retry context-overflow compaction from the current transcript only after the inbound user turn was actually persisted, and keep WebChat agent-run live delivery from writing duplicate Pi-managed assistant turns. Fixes #76424. (#77033)
-- Agents/bootstrap: keep pending `BOOTSTRAP.md` and bootstrap truncation notices in system-prompt Project Context instead of copying setup text or raw warning diagnostics into WebChat user/runtime context. Fixes #76946.
-- Gateway/install: keep `.env`-managed values in the macOS LaunchAgent env file while still tracking `OPENCLAW_SERVICE_MANAGED_ENV_KEYS`, so regenerated services do not boot without managed auth/provider keys. Fixes #75374.
-- Gateway/restart: verify listener PIDs by argv when `lsof` reports only the Node process name, so stale gateway cleanup can find macOS `cnode` listeners. Fixes #70664.
-- Gateway/logging: expand leading `~` in `logging.file` before creating the file logger, preventing startup crash loops for home-relative log paths. Fixes #73587.
-- Channels/CLI: keep `openclaw channels list --json` usable when provider usage fetching fails, and report per-provider usage errors without aborting the channel list. Refs #67595.
-- Doctor/plugins: do not treat `plugins.allow` entries as configured plugins during missing-plugin repair, so restrictive allowlists no longer install allowed-but-unused plugins. Thanks @vincentkoc.
-- Agents/messaging: deliver distinct final commentary after same-target `message` tool sends while still deduping text/media already sent by the tool, so short closing remarks are no longer silently dropped. Fixes #76915. Thanks @hclsys.
-- Agents/messaging: preserve string thread IDs when matching message-tool reply dedupe routes, avoiding precision loss on numeric-looking topic IDs before channel plugin comparison. Thanks @vincentkoc.
-- Channels/streaming: honor `agents.defaults.toolProgressDetail: "raw"` in Slack, Discord, Telegram, Matrix, and Microsoft Teams progress drafts, so tool-start lines include raw command/detail output when debugging. Thanks @vincentkoc.
-- Channels/streaming: strip unmatched inline-code backticks from compacted raw progress draft lines, avoiding stray markdown markers after long command details are shortened. Thanks @vincentkoc.
-- Discord/Slack/Mattermost: align draft preview tool-progress config help with the runtime behavior that hides interim tool updates when `streaming.preview.toolProgress` is false. Thanks @vincentkoc.
-- Feishu: use the shared channel progress formatter for streaming-card tool status lines, including raw command/detail output and message-tool filtering. Thanks @vincentkoc.
-- Mattermost: use the shared progress draft formatter for tool status previews, including raw command/detail output when `agents.defaults.toolProgressDetail: "raw"` is enabled. Thanks @vincentkoc.
-- Mattermost: suppress standalone default tool-progress messages while draft previews are active, including when draft tool lines are disabled. Thanks @vincentkoc.
-- Telegram: deliver button-only interactive replies by sending the shared fallback button-label text with the inline keyboard instead of dropping the reply as empty. Thanks @vincentkoc.
-- OpenAI Codex: honor `auth.order.openai-codex` when starting app-server clients without an explicit auth profile, so status/model probes and implicit startup use the configured Codex account instead of falling back to the default profile. Thanks @vincentkoc.
-- OpenAI Codex: let SSRF-guarded provider requests inherit OpenClaw's undici IPv4/IPv6 fallback policy, so ChatGPT-backed Codex runs recover on IPv4-working hosts when DNS still returns unreachable IPv6 addresses. Fixes #76857. Thanks @jplavoiemtl and @SymbolStar.
-- Plugin updates: do not short-circuit trusted official npm updates as unchanged when the default/latest spec still resolves to an already-installed prerelease that the installer should replace with a stable fallback. Thanks @vincentkoc.
-- Plugin updates: clean stale bundled load paths for already-externalized npm installs whose legacy install record only preserved the resolved package name. Thanks @vincentkoc.
-- Plugin tools: keep auth-unavailable optional tools hidden even when another default tool from the same plugin is available and `tools.alsoAllow` names the optional tool. Thanks @vincentkoc.
-- Realtime transcription: report socket closes before provider readiness as closed-before-ready failures instead of mislabeling them as connection timeouts for OpenAI, xAI, and Deepgram streaming transcription. Thanks @vincentkoc.
-- OpenAI/Google Meet: fail realtime voice connection attempts when the socket closes before `session.updated`, avoiding stuck Meet joins waiting on a bridge that never became ready. Thanks @vincentkoc.
 - Google Meet: avoid treating repeated participant words as multiple assistant-overlap matches when suppressing realtime echo transcripts. Thanks @vincentkoc.
 - Google Meet: make `mode: "agent"` the default Chrome talk-back path, using realtime transcription for input and regular OpenClaw TTS for speech output, while keeping direct realtime voice answers available as `mode: "bidi"` and accepting `mode: "realtime"` as an agent-mode compatibility alias.
-- Codex harness: keep `codex_app_server.*` telemetry publication owned by the harness instead of republishing the same callback event from core runners. Thanks @vincentkoc.
-- Slack/Discord: suppress standalone tool-progress chatter when partial preview streaming has `streaming.preview.toolProgress: false`, matching the documented quiet-preview behavior. Thanks @vincentkoc.
-- Matrix: bind native approval reaction targets before publishing option reactions, so fast approver reactions on threaded prompts are not dropped while the approval handler finishes setup. Thanks @vincentkoc.
 - Google Meet: make realtime talk-back agent-driven by default with `realtime.strategy: "agent"`, keep the previous direct bidirectional model behavior available as `realtime.strategy: "bidi"`, route the Meet tab speaker output to `BlackHole 2ch` automatically for local Chrome realtime joins, coalesce nearby speech transcript fragments before consulting the agent, and avoid cutting off agent speech from server VAD or stale playback pipe errors.
 - Google Meet: suppress queued assistant playback and assistant-like transcript echoes from the realtime input path, so the meeting does not hear the agent's own speech as a new user turn and loop or cut itself off.
 - Google Meet: keep Chrome realtime transport tests hermetic on Linux prerelease shards while preserving the macOS-only runtime guard. Thanks @vincentkoc.
+- Voice Call: mark realtime calls completed when the realtime provider closes normally, so Twilio/OpenAI/Google realtime stop events do not leave active call records behind. Thanks @vincentkoc.
+- Slack: keep health-monitor recovery stops from poisoning manual-stop state after channel stop timeouts, allowing Socket Mode accounts to reconnect after event-loop stalls instead of staying dead until Gateway restart. Fixes #77651. Thanks @Gusty3055.
+- Slack: report `unknown error` instead of `undefined` in socket-mode startup retry logs and label the retry reason explicitly.
+- Slack/mentions: record thread participation for successful visible threaded Slack sends, including message-tool and media delivery paths, so unmentioned replies in bot-participated threads can bypass mention gating as documented. Fixes #77648. Thanks @bek91.
+- Slack/subagents: keep resumed parent `message.send` calls in the originating Slack thread when ambient session thread context is present, and suppress successful silent child completion rows from follow-up findings. Thanks @bek91.
+- WhatsApp/onboarding: canonicalize setup and pairing allowlist entries to WhatsApp's digit-only phone ids while still accepting E.164, JID, and `whatsapp:` inputs, so personal-phone allowlists match WhatsApp Web sender ids after setup. Thanks @vincentkoc.
+- WhatsApp/login: route login success and failure messages through the injected runtime, so setup/onboarding surfaces capture all login output instead of only the QR. Thanks @vincentkoc.
+- Channels/WhatsApp: apply the shared group/channel visible-reply mode during inbound dispatch so group replies stay message-tool-only by default without overriding direct-chat harness defaults. Refs #75178 and #67394. Thanks @scoootscooob.
+- Telegram/media: derive no-caption inbound media placeholders from saved MIME metadata instead of the Telegram `photo` shape, so non-image and mixed attachments no longer reach the model as `<media:image>`. Fixes #69793. Thanks @aspalagin.
+- Telegram/streaming: reuse the active preview as the first chunk for long text finals, so multi-chunk replies no longer create a transient extra bubble that appears and then disappears. Thanks @vincentkoc.
+- Telegram/streaming: sanitize tool-progress draft preview backticks before shared compaction, so long backtick-heavy progress text still renders inside the safe code-formatted preview instead of collapsing to an ellipsis.
+- Telegram: clean up tool-only draft previews after assistant message boundaries so transient `Surfacing...` tool-status bubbles do not linger when no matching final preview arrives. Thanks @BunsDev.
+- Telegram: let explicit forum-topic `requireMention` settings override persisted `/activate` and `/deactivate` state, so per-topic mention gates work consistently. Fixes #49864. Thanks @Panniantong.
+- Telegram: keep reply-dispatch lazy provider runtime chunks behind stable dist names and delete `/reasoning stream` previews after final delivery so package updates and live reasoning drafts do not leave Telegram turns broken or noisy. Thanks @BunsDev.
+- Telegram: render shared interactive reply buttons in reply delivery so plugin approval messages show inline keyboards. (#76238) Thanks @keshavbotagent.
+- Telegram: deliver button-only interactive replies by sending the shared fallback button-label text with the inline keyboard instead of dropping the reply as empty. Thanks @vincentkoc.
+- Telegram: keep status checks pointed at the active chat so asking for the current session no longer reports an old direct-message conversation. (#76708) Thanks @amknight.
+- Media/Telegram: send in-limit original images when optional image optimization is unavailable, so Telegram MEDIA replies and message-tool image sends do not fail just because `sharp` is missing. Fixes #77081. (#77117) Thanks @pfrederiksen.
+- Discord/replies: treat failed final reply delivery as a failed turn instead of counting it as a delivered automatic visible reply, so guild/channel turns no longer show done when the final message was dropped. Fixes #77520. Thanks @Patrick-Erichsen.
+- Discord: prefer IPv4 for Discord REST and gateway WebSocket startup paths so IPv4-only networks no longer stall before Gateway READY and inbound message dispatch. Fixes #77398; refs #77526. Thanks @Beandon13.
+- Discord: clear stale startup probe bot/application status when the async bot probe throws, not just when it returns a degraded probe result. Thanks @vincentkoc.
+- Discord: start the gateway monitor without waiting for the startup bot/application probe, so WSL2 hosts with a slow `/users/@me` REST path still bring the channel online while status enrichment finishes asynchronously. Fixes #77103. Thanks @Suited78.
+- Discord/Gateway startup: retry Discord READY waits with backoff, defer startup `sessions.list` and native approval readiness failures until sidecars recover, and preserve component-only Discord payloads when final reply scrubbing removes all text. (#77478) Thanks @NikolaFC.
+- Webhooks/Gmail/Windows: resolve `gcloud`, `gog`, and `tailscale` PATH/PATHEXT shims before setup and watcher spawns, using the Windows-safe `.cmd` wrapper for long-lived `gog serve` processes. (#74881, fixes #54470) Thanks @Angfr95.
+- Infra/Windows: skip the POSIX `/tmp/openclaw` preferred path on Windows in `resolvePreferredOpenClawTmpDir` so log files, TTS temp files, and other writes land in `%TEMP%\openclaw-<uid>` instead of `C:\tmp\openclaw`. Fixes #60713. Thanks @juan-flores077.
+- Media/Windows: open saved attachment temp files read/write before fsync so Windows WebChat and `chat.send` media offloads no longer fail with EPERM during durability flush. (#76593) Thanks @qq230849622-a11y.
+- Plugins/Windows: show a Git install hint when npm plugin installation fails with `spawn git ENOENT`, and document the WhatsApp plugin's Git-on-PATH requirement for Baileys/libsignal installs.
+- Media/images: keep HEIC/HEIF attachments fail-closed when optional Sharp conversion is unavailable instead of sending originals that still need conversion. Thanks @vincentkoc.
+- Control UI/chat: suppress `HEARTBEAT_OK` acknowledgement history, streams, deltas, and final events before they enter the transcript view, so repeated heartbeat no-op turns do not stack noisy bubbles. Thanks @BunsDev.
+- Control UI/Talk: make failed Talk startup errors dismissable and clear the stale Talk error state when dismissed, so missing realtime voice provider configuration does not leave a permanent chat banner. Fixes #77071. Thanks @ijoshdavis.
+- Control UI/Talk: stop and clear failed realtime Talk sessions when dismissing runtime error banners, so the next Talk click starts a fresh session instead of only stopping the stale one. Thanks @vincentkoc.
+- Control UI/Talk: retry from a failed realtime Talk session on the next Talk click instead of requiring a separate stale-session stop click first. Thanks @vincentkoc.
+- Control UI/media: mint short-lived scoped tickets for assistant media fetches and render ticketed URLs instead of exposing long-lived auth tokens in chat image URLs. Fixes #70830 and #77097. Thanks @hclsys.
+- Control UI: keep Gateway Access inputs and locale picker contained inside the card at narrow and tablet widths.
+- Control UI: add explicit feedback for repeated actions by announcing session switches, flashing the active session selector, showing inline Save/Apply/Update progress, and distinguishing filtered-empty session lists from genuinely empty session stores. Thanks @BunsDev.
+- Control UI: point the Appearance tweakcn browse action and docs at the live tweakcn editor route instead of the removed `/themes` page. Fixes #77048.
+- Control UI: render Dream Diary prose through the sanitized markdown pipeline, so diary bold/italic/header markdown no longer appears as literal source text. Fixes #62413.
+- Control UI: render tool results whose output arrives as text-block arrays and give expanded tool output a scrollable block, so read/exec output remains visible in WebChat. Fixes #77054.
+- UI/chat: remove the unsupported `line-clamp` declaration from the chat queue text rule to eliminate Firefox console noise without changing visible truncation behavior. Thanks @ZanderH-code.
+- TUI/escape abort: track the in-flight runId after `chat.send` resolves so pressing Esc during the gap before the first gateway event aborts the run instead of repeatedly printing `no active run`. Fixes #1296. Thanks @Lukavyi and @romneyda.
+- TUI/render: stop the long-token sanitizer from injecting literal spaces inside inline code spans, fenced code blocks, table borders, and bare hyphenated/dotted identifiers, so copied package names, entity IDs, and shell line-continuations stay byte-for-byte intact while narrow-terminal protection still chunks unidentifiable long prose tokens. Fixes #48432, #39505. Thanks @DocOellerson, @xeusoc, @CCcassiusdjs, @akramcodez, @brokemac79, @romneyda.
+- iOS/mobile pairing: reject non-loopback `ws://` setup URLs before QR/setup-code issuance and let the iOS Gateway settings screen scan QR codes or paste full setup-code messages. Thanks @BunsDev.
+- Canvas host: preserve the Gateway TLS scheme in browser canvas host URLs and startup mount logs, so direct HTTPS gateways do not advertise insecure canvas links. Thanks @vincentkoc.
+- Model switching: include the exact additive allowlist repair command when `/model ... --runtime ...` targets a blocked model, and make Telegram's model picker say that it changes only the session model while leaving the runtime unchanged. Thanks @vincentkoc.
+- Mattermost: clarify that the model picker only changes the session model and that runtime switches require `/oc_model <provider/model> --runtime <runtime>`. Thanks @vincentkoc.
+- Mattermost: use the shared progress draft formatter for tool status previews, including raw command/detail output when `agents.defaults.toolProgressDetail: "raw"` is enabled. Thanks @vincentkoc.
+- Mattermost: suppress standalone default tool-progress messages while draft previews are active, including when draft tool lines are disabled. Thanks @vincentkoc.
+- Discord/Slack/Mattermost: align draft preview tool-progress config help with the runtime behavior that hides interim tool updates when `streaming.preview.toolProgress` is false. Thanks @vincentkoc.
+- Google Chat: create an isolated Google auth transport per auth client, so google-auth-library interceptor mutations do not accumulate across webhook verification and access-token clients. Thanks @vincentkoc.
+- Google Chat: normalize Google auth certificate response headers before google-auth-library reads cache-control, so inbound webhook auth no longer rejects with `res?.headers.get is not a function`. Fixes #76880. Thanks @donbowman.
+- Providers/DeepSeek: expose DeepSeek V4 `xhigh` and `max` thinking levels through the lightweight provider-policy surface, so Control UI `/think` pickers keep showing the max reasoning options when the runtime plugin registry is not active. Fixes #77139. Thanks @bittoby.
+- Providers/OpenRouter: keep DeepSeek V4 `reasoning_effort` on OpenRouter-supported values, mapping stale `max` thinking overrides to `xhigh` so `openrouter/deepseek/deepseek-v4-pro` no longer fails with OpenRouter's invalid-effort 400. Fixes #77350. (#77423) Thanks @krllagent, @mushuiyu886, and @sallyom.
+- Providers/OpenAI Codex: stop the OAuth progress spinner before showing the manual redirect paste prompt, so callback timeouts do not spam `Browser callback did not finish` across terminals.
+- Providers/OpenAI Codex: fail closed on malformed `/codex` control commands and diagnostics confirmations before changing bindings, permissions, model overrides, active turns, or feedback uploads. Thanks @vincentkoc.
+- Providers/OpenAI Codex: sanitize Codex app-server command readouts, failure replies, approval prompts, elicitation prompts, and `request_user_input` text before posting them back into chat. Thanks @vincentkoc.
+- Providers/OpenAI Codex: preserve local bound-turn image paths, reject stale same-thread turn notifications, enforce option-only user input prompts, and return failed dynamic tool results to Codex as unsuccessful tool calls. Thanks @vincentkoc.
+- OpenAI Codex: recreate missing bound app-server threads once when a stale `/codex bind` sidecar survives a restart, preserving the selected auth profile and turn overrides before retrying the inbound turn. (#76936) Thanks @keshavbotagent.
+- OpenAI Codex: honor `auth.order.openai-codex` when starting app-server clients without an explicit auth profile, so status/model probes and implicit startup use the configured Codex account instead of falling back to the default profile. Thanks @vincentkoc.
+- OpenAI Codex: let SSRF-guarded provider requests inherit OpenClaw's undici IPv4/IPv6 fallback policy, so ChatGPT-backed Codex runs recover on IPv4-working hosts when DNS still returns unreachable IPv6 addresses. Fixes #76857. Thanks @jplavoiemtl and @SymbolStar.
+- Auth/OpenAI Codex: rewrite invalidated per-agent Codex auth-order and session profile overrides toward a healthy relogin profile, so revoked OAuth accounts do not stay pinned after signing in again. Thanks @BunsDev.
+- Plugins/Codex: preserve Codex-native OAuth routing for `/codex bind` app-server turns so bound sessions keep the selected Codex auth profile instead of falling back to public OpenAI credentials. (#76714) Thanks @keshavbotagent.
+- Codex harness: preserve app-server usage-limit reset details and deliver OpenClaw-owned runtime failure notices through tool-only source-reply mode, so Telegram and other chat channels tell users when Codex subscription limits or API failures block a turn instead of going silent. (#77557) Thanks @pashpashpash.
+- Codex harness: keep `codex_app_server.*` telemetry publication owned by the harness instead of republishing the same callback event from core runners. Thanks @vincentkoc.
+- Codex plugin: mirror the experimental upstream app-server protocol and format generated TypeScript before drift checks, keeping OpenClaw's `experimentalApi` bridge compatible with latest Codex while preserving formatter gates.
+- Agents/OpenAI: default direct OpenAI Responses models to the SSE transport instead of WebSocket auto-selection, preventing pi runtime chat turns from hanging on servers where the WebSocket path stalls while the OpenAI HTTP stream works. Thanks @vincentkoc.
+- Claude CLI: honor non-off `/think` levels by passing Claude Code's session-scoped `--effort` flag through the CLI backend seam, so chat bridges no longer show an inert thinking control. Fixes #77303. Thanks @Petr1t.
+- Browser/SSRF: enforce the existing current-tab URL navigation policy before tab-scoped debug, export, and read routes (console, page errors, network requests, trace start/stop, response body, screenshot, snapshot, storage, etc.) collect from an already-selected tab, so blocked tabs return a policy error instead of being read first and redacted only at response time. (#75731) Thanks @eleqtrizit.
+- Browser: enforce strict SSRF current-URL checks before existing-session screenshots, matching existing-session snapshot handling. Thanks @vincentkoc.
+- fix(gateway): clamp unbound websocket auth scopes [AI]. (#77413) Thanks @pgondhi987.
+- fix(device-pair): require pairing scope for pair command [AI]. (#76377) Thanks @pgondhi987.
+- fix: harden backend message action gateway routing [AI]. (#76374) Thanks @pgondhi987.
+- Gate QQBot streaming command auth [AI]. (#76375) Thanks @pgondhi987.
+- fix(qqbot): keep private commands off framework surface [AI]. (#77212) Thanks @pgondhi987.
+- Gate zalouser startup name matching [AI]. (#77411) Thanks @pgondhi987.
+- QQBot: preserve the framework command authorization decision when converting framework command contexts into engine slash command contexts, so downstream slash handlers see `commandAuthorized` matching the channel's resolved `isAuthorizedSender` instead of a hardcoded `true`. (#77453) Thanks @drobison00.
+- Agents/cache: keep per-turn runtime context out of ordinary chat system prompts while still delivering hidden current-turn context, restoring prompt-cache reuse on chat continuations. Fixes #77431. Thanks @Udjin79.
+- Agents/tools: honor narrow runtime tool allowlists when constructing embedded-runner tool families and bundled MCP/LSP runtimes, so cron/subagent runs that request tools such as `update_plan`, `browser`, `x_search`, channel login tools, or `group:plugins` no longer start with missing tools or unrelated bootstrap work. (#77519, #77532)
+- Agents/Tools: add post-compaction loop guard in `pi-embedded-runner` that arms after auto-compaction-retry and aborts the run with `compaction_loop_persisted` when the agent emits the same `(tool, args, result)` triple `windowSize` times (default 3) within that window. Disable via existing `tools.loopDetection.enabled`; tune via `tools.loopDetection.postCompactionGuard.windowSize`. Targets the failure mode where context-overflow + compaction does not break a tool-call loop. Refs #77474; carries forward #21597. Thanks @efpiva.
+- Agents/tools: strip reasoning text from visible rich presentation titles, blocks, buttons, and select labels before message-tool sends, so structured channel payloads cannot leak hidden planning. Thanks @vincentkoc.
+- Agents/tools: use config-only runtime snapshots for plugin tool registration and live runtime config getters, avoiding expensive full secrets snapshot clones on the core-plugin-tools prep path. Fixes #76295.
+- Agents/tools: honor the effective tool denylist before constructing optional PDF/media tool factories, so `tools.deny: ["pdf"]` skips PDF setup before later policy filtering. Fixes #76997.
+- Agents/skills: require exact `<location>` skill paths for both single-skill and multi-skill prompt selection, so agents do not guess or hard-code skill file paths. (#74161) Thanks @lanzhi-lee.
+- Agents/skills: rebuild sandboxed non-rw run skill prompts from the sandbox workspace copy, so `<available_skills>` no longer points at host-only `~/.openclaw/skills` paths. Fixes #50590. Thanks @kidroca and @sallyom.
+- Agents/media: avoid sending generated image, video, and music attachments twice when streamed reply text arrives before the final `MEDIA:` directive.
+- Agents/media: tell async music and video completion agents when normal final replies are private, and send completion fallbacks directly to message-tool-only group/channel routes when the completion agent still only writes a private final reply, so generated media does not disappear behind the delivery contract.
+- Agents/media: route async music and video completion results back through the requester agent, preserving automatic replies while requiring the message tool only for message-tool-only group/channel delivery.
+- Agents/subagents: refresh deferred final-delivery payloads when same-session completion output changes, so retried parent notifications use the final child summary instead of stale progress text. Thanks @vincentkoc.
+- Agents/subagents: detect prefix-only completion announce replies and fall back to the captured child result so requester chats no longer lose most of long sub-agent reports silently. Fixes #76412. Thanks @inxaos and @davemorin.
+- Active Memory: give timeout partial transcript recovery enough abort-settle headroom so temporary recall summaries are returned before cleanup. Thanks @vincentkoc.
+- Active Memory: send a bounded latest-message search query to the recall worker so channel/runtime metadata does not become the memory search string. Fixes #65309. Thanks @joeykrug, @westley3601, @pimenov, and @tasi333.
+- active-memory: skip the memory sub-agent gracefully instead of logging a confusing allowlist error when no memory plugin (`memory-core` or `memory-lancedb`) is loaded, so active-memory with no memory backend no longer produces misleading "No callable tools remain" warnings in the gateway log. Fixes #77506. Thanks @hclsys.
+- Memory/wiki: preserve representation from both corpora in `corpus=all` searches while backfilling unused result capacity, so memory hits are not starved by numerically higher wiki integer scores. Fixes #77337. Thanks @hclsys.
+- Plugin skills: publish plugin-declared skills through the generated plugin skills directory (`~/.openclaw/plugin-skills/`) while keeping direct prompt loading intact, so agent file-based discovery paths find plugin skill `SKILL.md` files and inactive plugin links are cleaned up. Fixes #77296. (#77328) Thanks @zhangguiping-xydt.
+- Plugins/install: honor the beta update channel for onboarding and doctor-managed plugin installs by requesting floating npm and ClawHub specs with `@beta` while keeping persistent install records on the catalog default. Thanks @vincentkoc.
+- Plugins/install: remove the previous managed plugin directory when a reinstall switches sources, so stale ClawHub and npm copies no longer keep duplicate plugin ids in discovery after the new install wins. Thanks @vincentkoc.
+- Plugins/install: let official plugin reinstall recovery repair source-only installed runtime shadows, so `openclaw plugins install npm:@openclaw/discord --force` can replace the bad package instead of stopping at stale config validation. Thanks @vincentkoc.
+- Plugins/install: suppress dangerous-pattern scanner warnings for trusted official OpenClaw npm installs, so installing `@openclaw/discord` no longer prints credential-harvesting warnings for the official package. Thanks @vincentkoc.
+- Plugins/update: repair missing plugin-local `openclaw` peer links before skipping unchanged npm plugin updates, so current external Codex installs can recover `openclaw/plugin-sdk/*` resolution during OTA repair. (#77544) Thanks @ProspectOre.
+- Plugins/update: treat OpenClaw CalVer correction versions like `2026.5.3-1` as satisfying base plugin API ranges, so correction builds can install plugins that require the base runtime API. Fixes #77293. (#77450) Thanks @p3nchan.
+- Plugins/update: treat OpenClaw stable correction versions like `2026.5.3-1` as stable releases for npm installs, plugin updates, and bundled-version comparisons, so `latest` can advance official plugins without prerelease opt-in. Thanks @vincentkoc.
+- Plugins/commands: allow the official ClawHub Codex plugin package to keep reserved `/codex` command ownership, matching the existing npm-managed Codex package behavior. Thanks @vincentkoc.
+- Plugins/commands: scope QQBot framework slash commands to the QQBot channel so `/bot-*` command handlers and native specs do not leak onto unrelated chat surfaces. Thanks @vincentkoc.
+- Plugins/commands: suppress dangerous-pattern scanner warnings for trusted catalog npm installs from owner-gated `/plugins install` commands, so chat-driven installs match the CLI install trust path. Thanks @vincentkoc.
+- Plugins/discovery: ignore managed npm plugin packages that only expose TypeScript source entries without compiled runtime output, so stale/broken installs cannot hide a working bundled or reinstallable channel plugin during setup. Thanks @vincentkoc.
+- Plugins/discovery: demote the source-only TypeScript runtime check on already-installed `origin: "global"` plugin packages from a config-blocking error to a warning and let the runtime fall through to the TypeScript source via jiti, so a single broken installed package no longer blocks `plugins install` for unrelated plugins; install-time rejection of newly-installed source-only packages is unchanged. Thanks @romneyda.
+- Plugins/registry: recover managed-npm external plugins from the owned npm root when a stale persisted registry would otherwise hide them after package-manager upgrades. Fixes #77266. Thanks @p3nchan.
+- Plugins/providers: make bundled provider discovery honor restrictive `plugins.allow` by default for new configs, while doctor migrates legacy restrictive allowlist configs to `plugins.bundledDiscovery: "compat"` to preserve upgrade behavior. Thanks @dougbtv.
+- Plugins/security: ignore inline and block comments when matching source-rule context in plugin install scans, so comment-only `fetch`/`post` references near environment defaults do not block clean plugins. Thanks @vincentkoc.
+- Plugins/packages: reject inferred built runtime entries that exist but fail package-boundary checks instead of falling back to TypeScript source for installed packages. Thanks @vincentkoc.
+- Plugins/packages: reject blank `openclaw.runtimeExtensions` entries instead of silently ignoring them and falling back to inferred TypeScript runtime entries. Thanks @vincentkoc.
+- Plugins/loader: do not retry native-loaded JavaScript plugin modules through the source transformer after native evaluation has already reached a missing dependency, avoiding duplicate top-level side effects. Thanks @vincentkoc.
+- Plugins/loader: keep bundled plugin package `test-api.js` aliases behind private QA mode, so source transforms do not expose test-only public surfaces during normal plugin loading. Thanks @vincentkoc.
+- Plugins/runtime-deps: include `json5` in the memory-core plugin runtime dependency set so packaged `memory_search` sandboxes can resolve generated OpenClaw runtime chunks that parse JSON5 config. Fixes #77461.
+- Plugins/runtime state: keep the key being registered when namespace eviction runs in the same millisecond as existing entries, so `register` and `registerIfAbsent` do not report success while evicting their own fresh value. Thanks @vincentkoc.
+- Plugins/release: make the published npm runtime verifier reject blank `openclaw.runtimeExtensions` entries instead of treating them as absent and passing via inferred outputs. Thanks @vincentkoc.
+- Doctor/config: keep active `auth.profiles` metadata intact when `doctor --fix` strips stale secret fields from configs, repairing legacy `<provider>:default` API-key profile metadata when model fallbacks or explicit `model@profile` refs still depend on it. Fixes #77400.
+- Doctor/config: restore legacy group chat config migrations for `routing.allowFrom`, `routing.groupChat.*`, and `channels.telegram.requireMention` so upgrades keep WhatsApp, Telegram, and iMessage group mention gates and history settings instead of leaving configs invalid or silently blocked. Thanks @scoootscooob.
+- Doctor/plugins: include `plugins.allow`-only official plugin ids in the release configured-plugin repair set, so `doctor --fix` installs official external plugins that are configured but not yet loaded instead of removing them as stale allow entries. Fixes #77155. Thanks @hclsys.
+- Doctor/plugins: remove stale managed install records for bundled plugins even when the bundled plugin is not explicitly configured, so doctor cleanup cannot leave orphaned install metadata behind. Thanks @vincentkoc.
+- Doctor/plugins: remove stale managed npm plugin shadow entries from the managed package lock as well as `package.json` and `node_modules`, so future npm operations do not keep referencing repaired bundled-plugin shadows. Thanks @vincentkoc.
+- Doctor/plugins: remove orphaned or recovered managed npm copies of bundled `@openclaw/*` plugins during `doctor --fix`, so stale package manifests cannot shadow the current bundled plugin config schema.
+- Doctor/plugins: skip channel-derived official plugin installs when another configured plugin is the effective owner for the same channel, so `doctor --repair` does not reinstall `feishu` while `openclaw-lark` handles `channels.feishu`. Fixes #76623. Thanks @fuyizheng3120.
+- Doctor/plugins: do not treat `plugins.allow` entries as configured plugins during missing-plugin repair, so restrictive allowlists no longer install allowed-but-unused plugins. Thanks @vincentkoc.
+- Doctor/sessions: clear auto-created stale session routing state from the sessions store when `doctor --fix` sees plugin-owned model/runtime/auth/session bindings outside the current configured route, while leaving explicit user model choices for manual review. Refs #68615.
+- CLI/sessions: prune old unreferenced transcript, compaction checkpoint, and trajectory artifacts during normal `sessions cleanup`, so gateway restart or crash orphans do not accumulate indefinitely outside `sessions.json`. Fixes #77608. Thanks @slideshow-dingo.
+- CLI/sessions: cap `openclaw sessions` output to the newest 100 rows by default and add `--limit <n|all>` plus JSON pagination metadata, so repeated machine polling of large session stores cannot fan out into unbounded per-row enrichment/output work. Fixes #77500. Thanks @Kaotic3.
+- CLI/update: report corrupt or unloadable managed plugins as post-update warnings instead of disabling them or turning a successful OpenClaw package update into a failed update result. Thanks @vincentkoc and @Patrick-Erichsen.
+- CLI/update: use an absolute POSIX npm script shell during package-manager updates, so restricted PATH environments can still run dependency lifecycle scripts while updating from `--tag main`. Fixes #77530. Thanks @PeterTremonti.
+- CLI/update: make package-update follow-up processes write completion results and exit explicitly, so Windows packaged upgrades do not hang after the new package finishes post-core plugin work. Thanks @vincentkoc.
+- CLI/update: stage pnpm-detected npm-layout global package updates through a clean npm prefix swap, keep plugin install runtime imports behind a stable alias, and ship legacy install-runtime aliases back to `2026.3.22`, preventing stale overlay chunks from breaking plugin post-update sync. Thanks @vincentkoc.
+- CLI/update: treat OpenClaw stable correction versions like `2026.5.3-1` as newer than their base stable release, so package updates no longer ask for downgrade confirmation. Thanks @vincentkoc.
+- CLI/launcher: forward termination signals to compile-cache respawn children, so killing a wrapper process no longer leaves the security audit worker orphaned. Fixes #77458. Thanks @jaikharbanda.
+- Update/restart: probe managed Gateway restarts with the service environment and add a Docker product lane that exercises candidate-owned `openclaw update --yes --json` restarts, so SecretRef-backed local gateway auth cannot regress behind mocked restart checks. Thanks @vincentkoc.
+- Gateway/startup: load provider plugins that own explicitly configured image, video, or music generation defaults so generation tools become live after gateway restart instead of remaining catalog-only. Fixes #77244. Thanks @buyuangtampan, @Nikoxx99, and @vincentkoc.
+- Gateway/startup: include resolved thinking and fast-mode defaults in the `agent model` startup log line, defaulting unset startup thinking to `medium` without mixing in reasoning visibility.
+- Gateway/startup: log the canvas host mount only after the HTTP server has bound, so startup logs no longer report the canvas host as mounted before it can serve requests.
+- Gateway/startup: start cron and record the post-ready memory trace even when deferred maintenance timers fail after readiness, so a non-fatal timer setup issue does not silently leave scheduled jobs idle. Thanks @vincentkoc.
+- Gateway/update: resolve local gateway probe auth from the installed config during post-update restart verification, so token/device-authenticated VPS gateways are not misreported as unhealthy port conflicts after a package swap. Thanks @vincentkoc.
+- Gateway/update: keep the shutdown close path behind a stable runtime chunk and ship compatibility aliases for recent `server-close-*` hashes, so manual npm package replacement cannot leave an already-running Gateway unable to shut down cleanly. Fixes #77087. Thanks @westlife219.
+- Gateway/chat: clear the active reply-run guard before draining queued same-session follow-up turns, so sequential `chat.send` calls no longer trip `ReplyRunAlreadyActiveError` every other request. Fixes #77485. Thanks @bws14email.
+- Gateway/status: label Linux managed gateway services as `systemd user`, making status output explicit about the user-service scope instead of implying a system-level unit. Thanks @vincentkoc.
+- Gateway/sessions: memoize repeated thinking-option enrichment and skip unused cost fallback checks while listing sessions, reducing per-row work on large multi-agent stores. Fixes #76931.
+- Gateway/sessions: bound default `sessions.list` RPC responses and report truncation metadata, preventing Slack-heavy long-lived stores from forcing unbounded Gateway row construction. Fixes #77062.
+- Gateway/sessions: cache selected model override resolution while building session-list rows so `openclaw sessions` and Control UI session lists stay responsive on model-heavy stores. (#77650) Thanks @ragesaq.
+- Gateway/watch: suppress sync-I/O trace output during `pnpm gateway:watch --benchmark` unless explicitly requested, so CPU profiling no longer floods the terminal with stack traces.
+- Gateway/watch: when benchmark sync-I/O tracing is explicitly enabled, tee trace blocks to the benchmark output log and filter them from the terminal pane while keeping normal Gateway logs visible.
+- Gateway/diagnostics: make stuck-session recovery outcome-driven and generation-guarded, add `diagnostics.stuckSessionAbortMs`, and emit structured recovery requested/completed events so stale or skipped recovery no longer looks like a successful abort.
+- Gateway/validation: isolate gateway server validation files, ignore unrelated startup logs in request-trace coverage, and fail fast on stuck shared-auth sockets, reducing false main-branch CI failures for contributors. Thanks @amknight.
+- Gateway/install: keep `.env`-managed values in the macOS LaunchAgent env file while still tracking `OPENCLAW_SERVICE_MANAGED_ENV_KEYS`, so regenerated services do not boot without managed auth/provider keys. Fixes #75374.
+- Gateway/restart: verify listener PIDs by argv when `lsof` reports only the Node process name, so stale gateway cleanup can find macOS `cnode` listeners. Fixes #70664.
+- Gateway/logging: expand leading `~` in `logging.file` before creating the file logger, preventing startup crash loops for home-relative log paths. Fixes #73587.
+- Gateway/install: prefer supported system Node over nvm/fnm/volta/asdf/mise when regenerating managed gateway services, so `gateway install --force` no longer recreates service definitions that doctor immediately flags as version-manager-backed. Fixes #76339. Thanks @brokemac79 and @BunsDev.
+- Cron: surface failed isolated-run diagnostics in `cron show`, status, and run history when requested tools are unavailable, so blocked cron runs report the actual tool-policy failure instead of a misleading green result. Fixes #75763. Thanks @RyanSandoval.
+- Cron/sessions: keep cron metadata rows without an on-disk transcript non-resumable until a transcript exists, so doctor and `sessions cleanup --fix-missing` no longer report or prune pre-transcript cron rows as broken sessions. Refs #77011.
+- Docker/compose: pin container-side `OPENCLAW_CONFIG_DIR` and `OPENCLAW_WORKSPACE_DIR` on both gateway and CLI services so the host paths written into `.env` by `scripts/docker/setup.sh` (used as Compose bind-mount sources) cannot leak into runtime code via the `env_file` import. Fixes regressions on macOS Docker setups where the first agent reply died with `EACCES: permission denied, mkdir '/Users'` because the host-style workspace path got persisted into `agents.defaults.workspace`. Fixes #77436. Thanks @lonexreb.
+- Docker: prune package-excluded plugin dist directories from runtime images unless the build explicitly opts that plugin in, so official external plugins such as Feishu stay install-on-demand instead of shipping partial metadata without compiled runtime output. Fixes #77424. Thanks @vincentkoc.
+- Web search: honor late-bound `tools.web.search.enabled: false` during tool execution so config reloads cannot leave an already-created `web_search` tool runnable. Thanks @vincentkoc.
+- Web search: scope explicit bundled `web_search` provider runtime loading through manifest ownership, so selecting DuckDuckGo/Gemini/etc. does not import unrelated bundled providers or log their optional dependency failures. Thanks @vincentkoc.
+- Web search: keep first-class assistant `web_search` auto-detect and configured runtime providers visible when active runtime metadata or the active plugin registry is incomplete. Fixes #77073. Thanks @joeykrug.
+- Web fetch: scope provider fallback cache entries by the selected fetch provider so config reloads cannot reuse another provider's cached fallback payload. Thanks @vincentkoc.
+- Web fetch: late-bind `web_fetch` config and provider fallback metadata from the active runtime snapshot, matching `web_search` so long-lived tools do not use stale fetch provider settings. Thanks @vincentkoc.
+- Diagnostics: grant the internal diagnostics event bus to official installed diagnostics exporter plugins, so npm-installed `@openclaw/diagnostics-prometheus` can emit metrics without broadening the capability to arbitrary global plugins. Fixes #76628. Thanks @RayWoo.
+- Diagnostics: handle missing session-tail files in cron recovery context without tripping extension test typecheck. Thanks @vincentkoc.
+- Diagnostics: include last progress, cron job/run ids, stopped cron job name, and the last assistant transcript snippet in stalled-session and stuck-session recovery logs so cron stalls show what was stopped.
+- Diagnostics: keep webhook/message OTEL attributes and Prometheus delivery labels low-cardinality and omit raw chat/message IDs from spans, so progress-draft and message-tool modes do not leak high-cardinality messaging identifiers.
+- Exec approvals: detect `env -S` split-string command-carrier risks when `-S`/`-s` is combined with other env short options, so approval explanations do not miss split payloads hidden behind `env -iS...`. Thanks @vincentkoc.
+- Exec approvals: treat POSIX `exec` as a command carrier for inline eval, shell-wrapper, and eval/source detection, so approval explanations and command-risk checks do not miss payloads hidden behind `exec`. Thanks @vincentkoc.
+- Exec approvals: unwrap BSD/macOS `env -P <path>` carrier commands before approval-command and strict inline-eval checks, so `/approve` shell execution and inline interpreter payloads are still blocked behind that env form.
+- Agents/session status: keep semantic `session_status({ sessionKey: "current" })` on the live run session even before that run has a persisted session-store entry, instead of falling back to the sandbox policy key. Thanks @vincentkoc.
+- Agents/trajectory: bound runtime trajectory capture and yield queued sidecar writes so oversized traces stop recording instead of monopolizing Gateway cleanup. Fixes #77124. Thanks @loyur.
+- Agents/Pi: suppress persistence for synthetic mid-turn overflow continuation prompts, so transcript-retry recovery does not write the "continue from transcript" prompt as a new user turn. Thanks @vincentkoc.
+- Release validation: skip Slack live QA unless Slack credentials are explicitly configured, so release gates can keep proving non-Slack surfaces while Slack is still local and credential-gated. Thanks @vincentkoc.
+- Release validation: allow focused QA live reruns to select Matrix and Telegram without running Slack, so known Slack credential-pool outages do not block non-Slack live proof. Thanks @vincentkoc.
+- Release validation: install the cross-OS TypeScript harness through Windows-safe Node/npm shims so native Windows package checks reach the OpenClaw smoke suites instead of exiting before artifact capture. Thanks @vincentkoc.
+- Release validation: let Windows packaged-upgrade checks continue after the shipped 2026.5.2 updater hits its native-module swap cleanup fallback, verifying the fallback-installed candidate through package metadata and downstream smoke instead of crashing on the immediate update-status probe. Thanks @vincentkoc.
+- Release/beta smoke: resolve the dispatched Telegram beta E2E run from `gh run list` when `gh workflow run` returns no run URL, so the maintainer helper does not fail immediately after dispatch. Thanks @vincentkoc.
+- QA/Slack: update the Slack dispatch preview fallback test SDK mock for structured progress draft helpers, so the rich progress draft regression suite covers the new imports instead of failing before assertions run. Thanks @vincentkoc.
+- QA/Slack: resolve bundled official plugin public-surface package aliases during source-mode QA runs, so release Slack live validation can load `@openclaw/slack/api.js` without workspace symlinks. Thanks @vincentkoc.
 - QA/Matrix: let the live tool-progress preview and error checks verify progress replacement events without depending on the preview saying `Working`, `tool: read`, an unlabelled/pathless `read from`, or the original draft root being observed. Thanks @vincentkoc.
 - QA/Matrix: keep the target=both approval scenario focused on channel and DM metadata delivery by resolving the accepted approval through the gateway after both Matrix events are observed. Thanks @vincentkoc.
 - QA/Matrix: wait for live approval reactions to echo before starting the threaded approval decision timeout. Thanks @vincentkoc.
 - QA/Matrix: reuse the primed driver sync stream when confirming approval reaction echoes, avoiding missed self-reactions in live release runs. Thanks @vincentkoc.
-- Channels/WhatsApp: apply the shared group/channel visible-reply mode during inbound dispatch so group replies stay message-tool-only by default without overriding direct-chat harness defaults. Refs #75178 and #67394. Thanks @scoootscooob.
-- Plugins/Codex: preserve Codex-native OAuth routing for `/codex bind` app-server turns so bound sessions keep the selected Codex auth profile instead of falling back to public OpenAI credentials. (#76714) Thanks @keshavbotagent.
-- Telegram: keep status checks pointed at the active chat so asking for the current session no longer reports an old direct-message conversation. (#76708) Thanks @amknight.
-- Gateway/install: prefer supported system Node over nvm/fnm/volta/asdf/mise when regenerating managed gateway services, so `gateway install --force` no longer recreates service definitions that doctor immediately flags as version-manager-backed. Fixes #76339. Thanks @brokemac79 and @BunsDev.
-- Google Chat: normalize Google auth certificate response headers before google-auth-library reads cache-control, so inbound webhook auth no longer rejects with `res?.headers.get is not a function`. Fixes #76880. Thanks @donbowman.
+- Channels/plugins: key bundled package-state probes, env/config presence, and read-only command defaults by channel id instead of manifest plugin id, preserving setup and native-command detection for channel plugins whose package id differs from the channel alias. Thanks @vincentkoc.
+- Control UI/performance: cap long-task and long-animation-frame diagnostics in the shared event log, so slow-render telemetry does not evict gateway/plugin events from the Debug and Overview views. Thanks @vincentkoc.
+- Control UI/i18n: render the Sessions active filter tooltip with the configured minute count in every locale and make the i18n check reject placeholder drift. Thanks @BunsDev.
+- Codex: pass the live run session key into app-server dynamic tools when sandbox policy uses a separate session key, so `session_status({ sessionKey: "current" })` reports the active run instead of the sandbox policy key. Thanks @vincentkoc.
+- Plugins/tools: mark manifest-optional sibling tools as optional even when they come from a shared non-optional factory, so cached/status/MCP metadata keeps opt-in tool policy accurate. Thanks @vincentkoc.
+- Matrix: keep `streaming.progress.toolProgress` scoped to progress draft mode, so partial and quiet Matrix previews do not lose tool progress unless `streaming.preview.toolProgress` is disabled. Thanks @vincentkoc.
+- Channels/streaming: keep `streaming.progress.toolProgress` scoped to progress draft mode, so disabling compact progress lines does not silence partial/block preview tool updates. Thanks @vincentkoc.
+- MCP: include serialized conversation/message payloads in the primary text content for `conversations_list` and `messages_read`, while preserving `structuredContent` for capable clients. Fixes #77024.
+- Media: treat `EPERM` from the post-write media fsync step as best-effort, allowing WebChat and channel uploads to finish on Windows filesystems that reject `fsync` after a successful write. Fixes #76844.
+- Streaming channels: add `streaming.preview.commandText: "status"` / `streaming.progress.commandText: "status"` to hide command/exec text in preview progress lines while keeping the released raw command text default. Fixes #77072.
+- Agents/cron: let explicit cron `timeoutSeconds` drive both CLI no-output and embedded LLM idle watchdogs instead of being capped by resume defaults. Fixes #76289.
+- Plugins/catalog: suppress missing `channelConfigs` compatibility diagnostics for external channel plugins that are disabled, denied, or outside a restrictive allowlist. Fixes #76095.
+- Agents/cli-runner: drop a saved `claude-cli` resume sessionId at preparation time when its on-disk transcript no longer exists in `~/.claude/projects/`, so a stale binding from a half-installed `update.run` cannot trap follow-up runs (auto-reply / Telegram direct) in a `claude --resume` timeout loop; the run starts fresh and the new sessionId is written back through the existing post-run flow. (#77030; refs #77011) Thanks @openperf.
+- MCP/plugin tools: apply global `tools.profile`, `tools.alsoAllow`, and `tools.deny` policy while exposing plugin tools over the standalone MCP bridge, so ACP clients do not see policy-hidden plugin tools or miss opt-in optional tools. Thanks @vincentkoc.
+- Plugin tools: honor explicit tool denylists while selecting plugin tool runtimes, so denied plugin tools are not materialized for direct command or gateway surfaces before later policy filtering. Thanks @vincentkoc.
+- Plugin tools: filter factory-returned tools by manifest per-tool optional policy, so optional sibling tools from a shared runtime factory stay hidden unless explicitly allowed. Thanks @vincentkoc.
+- Agents/transcripts: retry context-overflow compaction from the current transcript only after the inbound user turn was actually persisted, and keep WebChat agent-run live delivery from writing duplicate Pi-managed assistant turns. Fixes #76424. (#77033)
+- Messaging: queue assembled channel-turn final replies before sending to reduce response loss when the gateway restarts between assistant completion and channel delivery. Refs #77000.
+- Agents/bootstrap: keep pending `BOOTSTRAP.md` and bootstrap truncation notices in system-prompt Project Context instead of copying setup text or raw warning diagnostics into WebChat user/runtime context. Fixes #76946.
+- Channels/CLI: keep `openclaw channels list --json` usable when provider usage fetching fails, and report per-provider usage errors without aborting the channel list. Refs #67595.
+- Agents/messaging: deliver distinct final commentary after same-target `message` tool sends while still deduping text/media already sent by the tool, so short closing remarks are no longer silently dropped. Fixes #76915. Thanks @hclsys.
+- Agents/messaging: preserve string thread IDs when matching message-tool reply dedupe routes, avoiding precision loss on numeric-looking topic IDs before channel plugin comparison. Thanks @vincentkoc.
+- Channels/streaming: honor `agents.defaults.toolProgressDetail: "raw"` in Slack, Discord, Telegram, Matrix, and Microsoft Teams progress drafts, so tool-start lines include raw command/detail output when debugging. Thanks @vincentkoc.
+- Channels/streaming: strip unmatched inline-code backticks from compacted raw progress draft lines, avoiding stray markdown markers after long command details are shortened. Thanks @vincentkoc.
+- Feishu: use the shared channel progress formatter for streaming-card tool status lines, including raw command/detail output and message-tool filtering. Thanks @vincentkoc.
+- Plugin updates: do not short-circuit trusted official npm updates as unchanged when the default/latest spec still resolves to an already-installed prerelease that the installer should replace with a stable fallback. Thanks @vincentkoc.
+- Plugin updates: clean stale bundled load paths for already-externalized npm installs whose legacy install record only preserved the resolved package name. Thanks @vincentkoc.
+- Plugin tools: keep auth-unavailable optional tools hidden even when another default tool from the same plugin is available and `tools.alsoAllow` names the optional tool. Thanks @vincentkoc.
+- Realtime transcription: report socket closes before provider readiness as closed-before-ready failures instead of mislabeling them as connection timeouts for OpenAI, xAI, and Deepgram streaming transcription. Thanks @vincentkoc.
+- Slack/Discord: suppress standalone tool-progress chatter when partial preview streaming has `streaming.preview.toolProgress: false`, matching the documented quiet-preview behavior. Thanks @vincentkoc.
+- Matrix: bind native approval reaction targets before publishing option reactions, so fast approver reactions on threaded prompts are not dropped while the approval handler finishes setup. Thanks @vincentkoc.
 - WhatsApp: route terminal login QR output through the active runtime for initial and restart sockets, so `openclaw channels login --channel whatsapp` does not lose the QR behind direct stdout writes. Fixes #76213. Thanks @dougvk.
 - Proxy/debugging: disable debug proxy direct upstream forwarding for proxy requests and CONNECT tunnels while managed proxy mode is active unless `OPENCLAW_DEBUG_PROXY_ALLOW_DIRECT_CONNECT_WITH_MANAGED_PROXY=1` is explicitly set for approved local diagnostics. Thanks @jesse-merhi and @mjamiv.
 - Direct APNs: route direct HTTP/2 delivery through the active managed proxy with redacted proxy diagnostics, so push requests honor configured egress controls and `openclaw proxy validate --apns-reachable` can prove APNs is reachable through the proxy before deployment. (#74905) Thanks @jesse-merhi.
-- Agents/subagents: detect prefix-only completion announce replies and fall back to the captured child result so requester chats no longer lose most of long sub-agent reports silently. Fixes #76412. Thanks @inxaos and @davemorin.
 - TUI: replace the stale-response watchdog notice with plain user-facing copy so stalled replies no longer surface backend or streaming internals. (#77120) Thanks @davemorin.
 - Security/Windows: validate `SystemRoot`/`WINDIR` env values through the Windows install-root validator and add them to the dangerous-host-env policy when resolving `icacls.exe`/`whoami.exe` for `openclaw security audit`, so workspace `.env` overrides and bare command names cannot redirect Windows ACL helpers to attacker-controlled binaries. (#74458) Thanks @mmaps.
 - Security/Windows: pin Windows registry-probe `reg.exe` resolution to the canonical Windows install root in install-root probing, so `SystemRoot`/`WINDIR` env overrides cannot redirect registry queries during Windows host detection. (#74454) Thanks @mmaps.
-- QQBot: preserve the framework command authorization decision when converting framework command contexts into engine slash command contexts, so downstream slash handlers see `commandAuthorized` matching the channel's resolved `isAuthorizedSender` instead of a hardcoded `true`. (#77453) Thanks @drobison00.
 - Security/Windows: block `LOCALAPPDATA` from workspace `.env` and resolve Windows update-flow portable Git path prepends from the trusted process-local `LOCALAPPDATA` only, so workspace-supplied values cannot redirect `git` discovery during `openclaw update`. (#77470) Thanks @drobison00.
-- Browser/SSRF: enforce the existing current-tab URL navigation policy before tab-scoped debug, export, and read routes (console, page errors, network requests, trace start/stop, response body, screenshot, snapshot, storage, etc.) collect from an already-selected tab, so blocked tabs return a policy error instead of being read first and redacted only at response time. (#75731) Thanks @eleqtrizit.
 - Security/Windows: route the `.cmd`/`.bat` process wrapper through the shared Windows install-root resolver instead of `process.env.ComSpec`, so workspace dotenv-blocked `SystemRoot`/`WINDIR` overrides and unsafe values like UNC paths or path-lists cannot redirect `cmd.exe` selection on Windows. (#77472) Thanks @drobison00.
 - Agents/bootstrap: honor `BOOTSTRAP.md` content injected by `agent:bootstrap` hooks when deciding whether bootstrap is pending, so hook-provided required setup instructions are included in the system prompt. (#77501) Thanks @ificator.
+- Agents/replay-history: drop trailing assistant turns whose content is empty or carries only the stream-error sentinel before sending the transcript to the provider, so prefill-strict providers (such as github-copilot/claude-opus-4.6) no longer reject the request with `400 The conversation must end with a user message` after a session whose last turn errored before producing content. Refs #77228. (#77287) Thanks @openperf.
+- Agents/session-file-repair: drop `type: "message"` entries with a missing, `null`, or blank role during the on-disk repair pass so sessions that accumulated null-role JSONL corruption (such as the 935+ corrupt entries in #77228) get fully cleaned up rather than carried forward into the repaired file. Refs #77228. (#77288) Thanks @openperf.
+- Doctor/device pairing: stop suggesting `openclaw devices rotate --role <role>` for stale local cached device auth when that role is no longer approved by the gateway pairing record, so doctor no longer points users at a command that must be denied. (#77688) Thanks @Conan-Scott.
+- Ollama/thinking: expose the lightweight Ollama provider thinking profile through the public provider-policy artifact too, so reasoning-capable Ollama models such as `ollama/deepseek-v4-pro:cloud` keep `/think max` available even before the full plugin runtime activates. (#77617, fixes #77612) Thanks @rriggs and @yfge.
+- Codex/app-server: stabilize transcript mirror dedupe across re-mirrored turns so reordered snapshots no longer drop reasoning entries or duplicate the assistant reply. Refs #77012. (#77046) Thanks @openperf.
+- Agents/auth-profiles: do not record request-shape (`format`) rejections as auth-profile health failures, so a single per-session transcript-shape error (such as a prefill-strict 400 "conversation must end with a user message") no longer triggers a profile-wide cooldown that blocks every other healthy session sharing the same auth profile. Refs #77228. (#77280) Thanks @openperf.
+- CLI/update: stop dev-channel source updates immediately when `git fetch` fails, so tag conflicts cannot keep preflight, rebase, or build steps running against stale refs while the Gateway is still on the old runtime. (#77845) Thanks @obviyus.
+- Config/recovery: chmod restored `openclaw.json` back to owner-only (`0600`) after suspicious-read backup recovery on POSIX hosts, so a previously world-readable config mode cannot persist into a freshly restored credential-bearing config. (#77488) Thanks @drobison00.
+- Memory/dreaming: persist last dreaming-ingestion calendar day per daily note in `daily-ingestion.json` so unchanged notes are still re-ingested once per dreaming day for promotion signals toward deep thresholds. Fixes #76225. (#76359) Thanks @neeravmakwana.
+- Agents/embed: keep message_end safety delivery armed when a silent text_end chunk produces no block reply, fixing dropped Telegram/forum replies. Fixes #77833. (#77840) Thanks @neeravmakwana.
+- Install/postinstall: skip noisy compile-cache prune warnings when `EACCES`/`EPERM` prevent removing shared `/tmp/node-compile-cache` entries owned by another user. Fixes #76353. (#76362) Thanks @RayWoo and @neeravmakwana.
+- Agents/messaging: surface CLI subprocess watchdog/turn timeout messages to chat users when verbose failures are off, instead of collapsing them into generic external-run failure copy. Fixes #77007. (#77015) Thanks @neeravmakwana.
+- Agents/sessions: after embedded Pi runs, append assistant-visible reply text to session JSONL only when Pi did not already persist an equivalent tail assistant entry, without re-mirroring the user prompt Pi owns. Fixes #77823. (#77839) Thanks @neeravmakwana.
+- Plugins/CLI: load the install-records ledger when listing channel-catalog entries, so npm-installed third-party channel plugins resolve through `openclaw channels login`/`channels add` instead of failing with `Unsupported channel`. (#77269) Thanks @pumpkinxing1.
+- Memory wiki/Security: enforce session visibility on shared-memory `wiki_search` and `wiki_get` so sandboxed subagents cannot read transcript content from sibling or parent sessions. Fixes GHSA-72fw-cqh5-f324. Thanks @zsxsoft.
+- Exec approvals: enforce allowlist `argPattern` argument restrictions on Linux and macOS as well as Windows, so an entry like `{ pattern: "python3", argPattern: "^safe\.py$" }` no longer silently relaxes to a path-only match on non-Windows hosts. (#75143) Thanks @eleqtrizit.
+- Agents/compaction: disable Pi auto-compaction whenever OpenClaw effectively owns safeguard compaction, including provider-backed safeguard mode, so Pi and OpenClaw no longer fight over long-session compaction. Fixes #73003. (#73839) Thanks @bradhallett.
+- Telegram/streaming: finalize text replies by stopping the edited stream message instead of sending a second answer bubble, so Telegram turns cannot duplicate the streamed final response. (#77947) Thanks @obviyus.

+- Security and operations add OpenGrep scanning, sharper GHSA triage policy, safer exec/pairing/owner-scope handling, Docker/onboarding automation, and web-fetch IPv6 ULA opt-in for trusted proxy stacks. Thanks @jesse-merhi, @pgondhi987, @mmaps, @jinjimz, and @jeffrey701.
+
+### Changes
+
+- Security/tools: configured tool sections (`tools.exec`, `tools.fs`) no longer implicitly widen restrictive profiles (`messaging`, `minimal`). Users who need those tools under a restricted profile must add explicit `alsoAllow` entries; a startup warning identifies affected configs. Fixes #47487. Thanks @amknight.
+- Gateway/SDK: add SDK-facing artifact list/get/download RPCs and App SDK helpers with transcript provenance and download-source guardrails. Refs #74706. Thanks @tmimmanuel.
+- Agents/commitments: add opt-in inferred follow-up commitments with hidden batched extraction, per-agent/per-channel scoping, heartbeat delivery, CLI management, a simple `commitments.enabled`/`commitments.maxPerDay` config, and heartbeat-interval due-time clamping so magical check-ins do not echo immediately. (#74189) Thanks @vignesh07.
+- Messages/queue: make `steer` drain all pending Pi steering messages at the next model boundary, keep legacy one-at-a-time steering as `queue`, and add a dedicated steering queue docs page. Thanks @vincentkoc.
+- Messages/queue: default active-run queueing to `steer` with a 500ms followup fallback debounce, and document the queue modes, precedence, and drop policies on the command queue page. Thanks @vincentkoc.
+- Messages: add global `messages.visibleReplies` so operators can require visible output to go through `message(action=send)` for any source chat, while `messages.groupChat.visibleReplies` stays available as the group/channel override. Thanks @scoootscooob.
+- Gateway/events: surface `spawnedBy` on subagent chat and agent broadcast payloads so clients can route child session events without an extra session lookup. (#63244) Thanks @samzong.
+- Gateway/SDK: add read-only `environments.list` and `environments.status` RPCs so app clients can discover Gateway-local and node environment candidates without enabling provisioning. (#74708) Thanks @BunsDev.
+- Memory/wiki: add agent-facing people wiki metadata, canonical aliases, person cards, relationship graphs, privacy/provenance reports, evidence-kind drilldown, and search modes for person lookup, question routing, source evidence, and raw claims. Thanks @vincentkoc.
+- Active Memory: add optional per-conversation `allowedChatIds` and `deniedChatIds` filters so operators can enable recall only for selected direct, group, or channel conversations while keeping broad sessions skipped. (#67977) Thanks @quengh.
+- Active Memory: return bounded partial recall summaries when the hidden memory sub-agent times out, including the default temporary-transcript path, so useful recovered context is not discarded. (#73219) Thanks @joeykrug.
+- Gateway/memory: add a read-only `doctor.memory.remHarness` RPC so operator clients can preview bounded REM dreaming output without running mutation paths. (#66673) Thanks @samzong.
+- Providers/NVIDIA: add the NVIDIA provider with API-key onboarding, setup docs, static catalog metadata, and literal model-ref picker support so NVIDIA hosted models can be selected with their provider prefix intact. (#71204) Thanks @eleqtrizit.
+- Models: suppress explicitly configured openai-codex/gpt-5.4-mini inline entries so a stale models config written by `openclaw doctor --fix` cannot bypass the manifest capability block and cause repeated assistant-turn failures when the runtime switches to that model on ChatGPT-backed Codex accounts. Conditional suppressions (e.g. qwen Coding Plan endpoint guards) remain bypassable by explicit user configuration. (#74451) Thanks @0xCyda, @hclsys, and @Marvae.
+- Added SQLite-backed plugin state store (`api.runtime.state.openKeyedStore`) for restart-safe keyed registries with TTL, eviction, and automatic plugin isolation. Thanks @amknight.
+- Plugin SDK: mark remaining legacy alias exports and diffs tool/config aliases with deprecation metadata, and add a guard so future legacy alias comments require `@deprecated` tags. Thanks @vincentkoc.
+- CLI/QR/dependencies: internalize small terminal progress and QR wrapper helpers while keeping the real QR encoder dependency direct, reducing the default runtime dependency graph without changing QR output behavior. Thanks @vincentkoc.
+- Dependencies: refresh workspace runtime, plugin, and tooling packages, including ACP, Pi, AWS SDK, TypeBox, pnpm, oxlint, oxfmt, jsdom, pdfjs, ciao, and tokenjuice, while keeping patched ACP behavior and lint gates current. Thanks @mariozechner.
+- Gateway/dev: run `pnpm gateway:watch` through a named tmux session by default, with `gateway:watch:raw` and `OPENCLAW_GATEWAY_WATCH_TMUX=0` for foreground mode, so repeated starts respawn an inspectable watcher without trapping the invoking agent shell. Thanks @vincentkoc.
+- Gateway/diagnostics: emit an opt-in startup diagnostics timeline that records gateway lifecycle and plugin-load phases behind a config flag, so slow-start diagnosis no longer requires bespoke instrumentation. Thanks @shakkernerd.
+- Control UI/i18n: extend the locale registry with new Persian (fa), Dutch (nl), Vietnamese (vi), Italian (it), Arabic (ar), and Thai (th) entries and ship `fa`, `nl`, `vi`, and `zh-TW` docs glossaries, so the docs translation pipeline and the Control UI language picker stay aligned across surfaces. Thanks @vincentkoc.
+- Channels: add Yuanbao channel docs entrance so the Tencent Yuanbao bot appears in the channel listing and sidebar navigation. (#73443) Thanks @loongfay.
+- Channels/Yuanbao: update plugin GitHub location to YuanbaoTeam/yuanbao-openclaw-plugin and add "yuanbao" alias to channel catalog. (#74253) Thanks @loongfay.
+- Docker setup: add `OPENCLAW_SKIP_ONBOARDING` so automated Docker installs can skip the interactive onboarding step while still applying gateway defaults. (#55518) Thanks @jinjimz.
+- Security policy: classify media/base64 decode and format-conversion overhead after configured acceptance limits as performance-only for GHSA triage unless a report demonstrates a limit bypass, crash, exhaustion, data exposure, or another boundary bypass. (#74311)
+- Security/OpenGrep: add a precise OpenGrep rulepack, source-rule compiler, provenance metadata check, and PR/full scan workflows that validate first-party code and rulepack-only changes while uploading SARIF to GitHub Code Scanning. (#69483) Thanks @jesse-merhi.
+
+### Fixes
+
 - Voice Call: resolve SecretRef-backed Twilio auth tokens and realtime/streaming provider API keys before initializing call providers, so SecretRef-backed voice-call credentials reach runtime as strings. (#73632) Thanks @VACInc.
 - Security/outbound: strip re-formed HTML tags during plain-text sanitization so nested tag fragments cannot leave a CodeQL-detected `<script>` sequence behind. Thanks @vincentkoc.
 - Security/secrets: compare credential bytes with padded timing-safe buffers instead of hashing candidate passwords before equality checks. Thanks @vincentkoc.
@@ -1405,7 +1594,6 @@ Docs: https://docs.openclaw.ai
 - Gateway/plugins: enable the native `require()` fast path on Windows for bundled plugin modules so plugin loading uses `require()` instead of Jiti's transform pipeline, reducing startup from ~39s to ~2s on typical 6-plugin setups. Fixes #68656. (#74173) Thanks @galiniliev.
 - macOS app: detect stale Gateway TLS certificate pins, automatically repair trusted Tailscale Serve rotations, and surface paired-but-disconnected Mac companion nodes so partial Gateway connections no longer look healthy. Thanks @guti.
 - Feishu: recreate WebSocket clients with monitor-owned backoff only after SDK reconnect exhaustion, preserving heartbeat defaults and shutdown cleanup without treating recoverable SDK callback errors as terminal, so persistent connections recover without manual gateway restart. Fixes #52618; duplicate evidence #59753; related #55532, #68766, #72411, and #73739. Thanks @vincentkoc, @schumilin, @alex-xuweilong, @120106835, @sirfengyu, and @tianhaocui.
-- Agents/skills: require exact `<location>` skill paths for both single-skill and multi-skill prompt selection, so agents do not guess or hard-code skill file paths. (#74161) Thanks @lanzhi-lee.

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

-## Current implementation (2025-12-03)
+## Behavior
 
-- Activation modes: `mention` (default) or `always`. `mention` requires a ping (real WhatsApp @-mentions via `mentionedJids`, safe regex patterns, or the bot’s E.164 anywhere in the text). `always` wakes the agent on every message but it should reply only when it can add meaningful value; otherwise it returns the exact silent token `NO_REPLY` / `no_reply`. Defaults can be set in config (`channels.whatsapp.groups`) and overridden per group via `/activation`. When `channels.whatsapp.groups` is set, it also acts as a group allowlist (include `"*"` to allow all).

Defaults can be set in config (`channels.whatsapp.groups`) and overridden per group via `/activation`. When `channels.whatsapp.groups` is set, it also acts as a group allowlist (include `"*"` to allow all).
 - Group policy: `channels.whatsapp.groupPolicy` controls whether group messages are accepted (`open|disabled|allowlist`). `allowlist` uses `channels.whatsapp.groupAllowFrom` (fallback: explicit `channels.whatsapp.allowFrom`). Default is `allowlist` (blocked until you add senders).
 - Per-group sessions: session keys look like `agent:<agentId>:whatsapp:group:<jid>` so commands such as `/verbose on`, `/trace on`, or `/think high` (sent as standalone messages) are scoped to that group; personal DM state is untouched. Heartbeats are skipped for group threads.
 - Context injection: **pending-only** group messages (default 50) that _did not_ trigger a run are prefixed under `[Chat messages since your last reply - for context]`, with the triggering line under `[Current message - respond to this]`. Messages already in the session are not re-injected.
 - Sender surfacing: every group batch now ends with `[from: Sender Name (+E164)]` so Pi knows who is speaking.
 - Ephemeral/view-once: we unwrap those before extracting text/mentions, so pings inside them still trigger.
-- Group system prompt: on the first turn of a group session (and whenever `/activation` changes the mode) we inject a short blurb into the system prompt like `You are replying inside the WhatsApp group "<subject>". Group members: Alice (+44...), Bob (+43...), … Activation: trigger-only … Address the specific sender noted in the message context.` If metadata isn’t available we still tell the agent it’s a group chat.

 1. Add your WhatsApp account (the one running OpenClaw) to the group.
 2. Say `@openclaw …` (or include the number). Only allowlisted senders can trigger it unless you set `groupPolicy: "open"`.

 - On Linux, doctor warns when the user's crontab still runs legacy `~/.openclaw/bin/ensure-whatsapp.sh`; that script is no longer maintained and can log false WhatsApp gateway outages when cron lacks the systemd user-bus environment.
+- When WhatsApp is enabled, doctor checks for a degraded Gateway event loop with local `openclaw-tui` clients still running. `doctor --fix` stops only verified local TUI clients so WhatsApp replies are not queued behind stale TUI refresh loops.
+- Doctor rewrites legacy `openai-codex/*` model refs to canonical `openai/*` refs across primary models, fallbacks, heartbeat/subagent/compaction overrides, hooks, channel model overrides, and stale session route pins. `--fix` selects `agentRuntime.id: "codex"` only when the Codex plugin is installed, enabled, contributes the `codex` harness, and has usable OAuth; otherwise it selects `agentRuntime.id: "pi"` so the route stays on the default OpenClaw runner.
 - Doctor cleans legacy plugin dependency staging state created by older OpenClaw versions. It also repairs missing downloadable plugins that are referenced by config, such as `plugins.entries`, configured channels, configured provider/search settings, or configured agent runtimes. During package updates, doctor skips package-manager plugin repair until the package swap is complete; rerun `openclaw doctor --fix` afterward if a configured plugin still needs recovery. If the download fails, doctor reports the install error and preserves the configured plugin entry for the next repair attempt.
 - Doctor repairs stale plugin config by removing missing plugin ids from `plugins.allow`/`plugins.entries`, plus matching dangling channel config, heartbeat targets, and channel model overrides when plugin discovery is healthy.
 - Doctor quarantines invalid plugin config by disabling the affected `plugins.entries.<id>` entry and removing its invalid `config` payload. Gateway startup already skips only that bad plugin so other plugins and channels can keep running.

+- Local `model run` is the narrowest CLI smoke for provider/model/auth health because, for non-Codex providers, it sends only the supplied prompt to the selected model.
+- `openai-codex/*` local probes are the narrow exception: OpenClaw adds a minimal system instruction so the Codex Responses transport can populate its required `instructions` field, without adding full agent context, tools, memory, or session transcript.
 - Local `model run --file` keeps that lean path and attaches image content directly to the single user message. Common image files such as PNG, JPEG, and WebP work when their MIME type is detected as `image/*`; unsupported or unrecognized files fail before the provider is called.
 - `model run --file` is best when you want to test the selected multimodal text model directly. Use `infer image describe` when you want OpenClaw's image-understanding provider selection and default image-model routing.
