-# Codex Review
-
-Run Codex's built-in code review as a closeout check. This is code review (`codex review`), not Guardian `auto_review` approval routing.
-
-Use when:
-- user asks for Codex review / autoreview / second-model review
-- after non-trivial code edits, before final/commit/ship
-- reviewing a local branch or PR branch after fixes
-
-## Contract
-
-- Treat review output as advisory. Never blindly apply it.
-- Verify every finding by reading the real code path and adjacent files.
-- Read dependency docs/source/types when the finding depends on external behavior.
-- Reject unrealistic edge cases, speculative risks, broad rewrites, and fixes that over-complicate the codebase.
-- Prefer small fixes at the right ownership boundary; no refactor unless it clearly improves the bug class.
-- Keep going until Codex review returns no accepted/actionable findings.
-- If a review-triggered fix changes code, rerun focused tests and rerun Codex review.
-- If rejecting a finding as intentional/not worth fixing, add a brief inline code comment only when it explains a real invariant or ownership decision that future reviewers should know.
-- Do not push just to review. Push only when the user requested push/ship/PR update.
-
-## Pick Target
-
-Dirty local work:
-
-```bash
-codex review --uncommitted
-```
-
-Branch/PR work:
-
-```bash
-git fetch origin
-codex review --base origin/main
-```
-
-Do not pass an inline prompt with `--base`; current CLI rejects `--base` + `[PROMPT]` even though help text is ambiguous. If custom instructions are needed, run the plain base review first, then do a local/manual follow-up pass.
-
-If an open PR exists, use its actual base:
-
-```bash
-base=$(gh pr view --json baseRefName --jq .baseRefName)
-codex review --base "origin/$base"
-```
-
-Committed single change:
-
-```bash
-codex review --commit HEAD
-```
-
-## Parallel Closeout
-
-Format first if formatting can change line locations. Then it is OK to run tests and review in parallel:
-
-```bash
-scripts/codex-review --parallel-tests "<focused test command>"
-```
-
-Tradeoff: tests may force code changes that stale the review. If tests or review lead to code edits, rerun the affected tests and rerun review until no accepted/actionable findings remain.
-
-## Context Efficiency
-
-Codex review is usually noisy. Default to a subagent filter when subagents are available. Ask it to run the review and return only:
-- actionable findings it accepts
-- findings it rejects, with one-line reason
-- exact files/tests to rerun
-
-Run inline only for tiny changes or when subagents are unavailable.
-
-## Helper
-
-Bundled helper:
-
-```bash
-~/.codex/skills/codex-review/scripts/codex-review --help
-```
-
-If installed from `agent-scripts`, path is:
-
-```bash
-/Users/steipete/Projects/agent-scripts/skills/codex-review/scripts/codex-review --help
-```
-
-The helper:
-- chooses dirty `--uncommitted` first
-- otherwise uses current PR base if `gh pr view` works
-- otherwise uses `origin/main` for non-main branches
-- writes only to stdout unless `--output` or `CODEX_REVIEW_OUTPUT` is set
-- supports `--dry-run` and `--parallel-tests`
-
-## Final Report
-
-Include:
-- review command used
-- tests/proof run
-- findings accepted/rejected, briefly why
-- final clean review command, or why a remaining finding was consciously rejected

-# OpenClaw Release CI
-
-Use this with `$openclaw-release-maintainer` and `$openclaw-testing` when a release candidate needs full validation, install/update proof, live provider checks, or CI recovery.
-
-## Guardrails
-
-- No version bump, tag, npm publish, GitHub release, or release promotion without explicit operator approval.
-- Validate provider secrets before dispatching expensive full release matrices.
-- Do not set GitHub secrets from unvalidated 1Password candidates. If a candidate returns 401/403, leave the existing secret alone and report the exact missing provider.
-- Use `$one-password` for secret reads/writes: one persistent tmux session, targeted items only, no secret output.
-- Watch one parent run plus compact child summaries. Avoid broad `gh run view` polling loops; REST quota is easy to burn.
-- Fetch logs only for failed or currently-blocking jobs. If quota is low, stop polling and wait for reset.
-- Treat live-provider flakes separately from code failures: prove key validity, provider HTTP status, retry evidence, and exact failing lane before editing code.
-
-## Preflight
-
-Before full release validation:
-
-```bash
-node .agents/skills/openclaw-release-ci/scripts/verify-provider-secrets.mjs --required openai,anthropic,fireworks
-gh api rate_limit --jq '.resources.core'
-git status --short --branch
-git rev-parse HEAD
-```
-
-If env lacks keys, use `$one-password` to inject or set them, then rerun the script. The script prints only provider status and HTTP class, never tokens.
-
-## Dispatch
-
-Prefer the trusted workflow on `main`, target the exact release SHA:
-
-```bash
-gh workflow run full-release-validation.yml \
-  --repo openclaw/openclaw \
-  --ref main \
-  -f ref=<release-sha> \
-  -f provider=openai \
-  -f mode=both \
-  -f release_profile=full \
-  -f rerun_group=all
-```
-
-Use `release_profile=stable` unless the operator explicitly asks for the broad advisory provider/media matrix. Use narrow `rerun_group` after focused fixes.
-
-## Watch
-
-Use the summary helper instead of repeated raw polling:
-
-```bash
-node .agents/skills/openclaw-release-ci/scripts/release-ci-summary.mjs <full-release-run-id>
-```
-
-Then watch only when useful:
-
-```bash
-gh run watch <full-release-run-id> --repo openclaw/openclaw --exit-status
-```
-
-Stop watchers before ending the turn or switching strategy.
-
-## Failure Triage
-
-1. Confirm parent SHA and child run IDs.
-2. List failed jobs only:
-   ```bash
-   gh run view <child-run-id> --repo openclaw/openclaw --json jobs \
-     --jq '.jobs[] | select(.conclusion=="failure" or .conclusion=="timed_out" or .conclusion=="cancelled") | [.databaseId,.name,.conclusion,.url] | @tsv'
-   ```
-3. Fetch one failed job log. If rate-limited, note reset time and avoid more REST calls.
-4. For secret-looking failures, validate the provider endpoint from the same secret source before editing code.
-5. For live-cache failures, inspect whether it is missing/invalid key, empty text, provider refusal, timeout, or baseline miss. Do not weaken release gates without clear provider evidence.
-6. Fix narrowly, run local/changed proof, commit, push, rerun the smallest matching group.
-
-## Evidence
-
-Record:
-
-- release SHA
-- full parent run URL
-- child run IDs and conclusions: CI, Release Checks, Plugin Prerelease, NPM Telegram
-- targeted local proof commands
-- provider-secret preflight result
-- known gaps or unrelated failures
-
-For lessons and recovery patterns, read `references/release-ci-notes.md`.

-# Release CI Notes
-
-## What Went Wrong
-
-- Full validation was started before all provider keys were proven valid.
-- GitHub secret presence was confused with key validity.
-- Repeated `gh run view` and log fetches exhausted REST quota.
-- Parent run state was less useful than child run evidence.
-- Live-cache failures needed structured classification: invalid key, empty provider output, timeout, or real cache regression.
-- Background watchers accumulated and made interruption recovery harder.
-
-## Better Defaults
-
-- Run provider-secret preflight first. Require real `/models` or equivalent endpoint checks for release-blocking providers.
-- Keep one watcher open. Use child summaries every few minutes, not every few seconds.
-- Fetch failed-job logs only after a job reaches a terminal failing state.
-- Prefer narrow `rerun_group` recovery after a focused fix.
-- Leave bad secrets unset. A 401 candidate from 1Password should not overwrite GitHub.
-- Make the final release evidence note durable: parent URL, child run URLs, SHA, command proof, and gaps.
-
-## Secret Handling Pattern
-
-- Use `$one-password`; never run broad env dumps.
-- Search exact item titles or known ids.
-- Validate candidates without printing values.
-- Set GitHub secrets only after endpoint validation succeeds.
-- After setting, verify metadata with `gh secret list`, not value output.
-
-## Live Cache Pattern
-
-- Empty text with token usage is a provider/output issue until proven otherwise.
-- Retry lane-level mismatches once with a fresh session id.
-- Keep cache baselines strict, but log enough structured usage to distinguish cache miss from response mismatch.
-- If a provider key validates locally but fails in Actions, inspect whether the workflow reads the expected secret name.
-
-## Quota-Safe GitHub Pattern
-
-- Check `gh api rate_limit --jq '.resources.core'` before log-heavy work.
-- Use one child-run listing call, then inspect failed jobs only.
-- If remaining quota is low, pause until reset; do not keep polling.
-- Prefer GraphQL only for metadata when REST is exhausted; logs still need REST.

 ### Changes
 
+- ACP: add `acp.fallbacks` so ACP turns can try configured backup runtime backends when the primary backend is unavailable before any output is emitted. (#69542) Thanks @kaseonedge.
+
 ### Fixes
 
-- Exec approvals: route allow-always matching through the command authorization planner so chained and inline shell payload approvals persist only for the parsed executable units. (#80922) Thanks @jesse-merhi.
-
-## 2026.5.14
+- Sessions/status: classify ACP spawn-child sessions as `kind: "spawn-child"` instead of `"direct"` in `openclaw sessions` and status output; extract the duplicated session-kind classifier into a shared helper (`src/sessions/classify-session-kind.ts`) so both surfaces stay in sync. Fixes catalog #19. (#79544)
+- Telegram: delete tool-progress-only draft bubbles before rotating to the real answer, preventing orphaned progress messages in streamed replies.
+- Codex app-server: keep per-agent `CODEX_HOME` isolation without rewriting `HOME` by default, so Codex-run subprocesses can still find normal user-home config, tokens, and CLI state unless the launch explicitly overrides `HOME`. Thanks @pashpashpash.
+- ACP: preserve redacted numeric JSON-RPC `RequestError` details in runtime failure text, so backend diagnostics are visible instead of only `Internal error`. Fixes #81126. (#81188) Thanks @vyctorbrzezowski.
+- Agents: cache unchanged PI model discovery stores and model lookups, reducing repeated model-resolution startup latency under large model configs. Fixes #78851.
+- Security/Windows ACL audit: classify Anonymous Logon, Guests, Interactive, Local, and Network SIDs as world-equivalent principals so broadly writable paths stay critical instead of being downgraded to group-writable. Fixes #74350. (#74383) Thanks @dwc1997.
+- Media-understanding: retry transient remote attachment fetch failures before audio or vision processing, so Discord voice notes are not lost after one network/CDN blip. Fixes #74316. Thanks @vyctorbrzezowski and @gabrielexito-stack.
+- Control UI: order timestamped live stream and tool items before untimestamped history fallbacks, keeping chat history in visible time order. Fixes #80759. (#81016) Thanks @akrimm702.
+- iMessage: stop sending visible `<media:image>` placeholder text for media-only native image sends while preserving the internal echo key that prevents self-echo duplicate replies. (#81209) Thanks @homer-byte.
+- Agents/sessions: create configured agent main sessions before first `sessions_send` or gateway send, so agent-to-agent messages no longer fail when the target agent has not started yet.
+- gateway: pass Talk session scope to resolver [AI]. (#81379) Thanks @pgondhi987.
+- Gateway protocol: require v4 clients and stream explicit chat `deltaText`/`replace` frames so SDK clients can consume assistant updates without local diffing. (#80725) Thanks @samzong.
+- OpenAI plugin: clarify remote Codex OAuth login copy so tunneled users know sign-in may finish automatically before they paste the redirect URL. (#81301) Thanks @rubencu.
+- GitHub Copilot: exchange OAuth tokens for Copilot API tokens on image understanding requests and route Gemini image payloads through Chat Completions, fixing Copilot Gemini image descriptions. (#80393, #80442) Thanks @afunnyhy.
+- Gateway: hide pending Node pairing commands, capabilities, and permissions until approval, and refresh the live approved surface when pairings change. (#80741) Thanks @samzong.
+- SGLang: preserve replayed reasoning history for OpenAI-compatible chat completions, keeping thinking-capable local models from losing prior reasoning turns. (#81091) Thanks @akrimm702.
+- Plugins/Feishu/WhatsApp/Line: enforce inbound media size caps while reading download streams, avoiding full buffering of oversized attachments. (#81044, #81050) Thanks @samzong.
+- Plugins/install: limit install-time code safety scans to plugin-owned runtime entrypoints while keeping dependency manifest denylist checks, so trusted packages with large dependency trees no longer get blocked or warned on third-party runtime internals.
+- Config: serialize and retry semantic config mutations centrally, so concurrent commands can rebase safe changes instead of clobbering or hand-rolling command-local retry loops. (#76601)
+- Require approval for setup-code device pairing [AI]. (#81292) Thanks @pgondhi987.
+- Plugins/install: preserve third-party peer dependencies in the managed npm root when later plugin installs or updates recalculate the shared dependency tree. Thanks @shakkernerd.
+- Plugins/uninstall: prune managed third-party peer dependencies after their owning npm plugin is removed, without blocking plugin cleanup on peer-prune failures.
+- Docker: pin setup-time container paths so stale host `.env` OpenClaw paths cannot leak into Linux containers. Fixes #80381. (#81105) Thanks @brokemac79.
+- Channels/WeCom: refresh the official onboarding install to `@wecom/wecom-openclaw-plugin@2026.5.7` and update existing managed npm installs instead of failing on the package directory. Fixes #79884. (#80390) Thanks @brokemac79.
+- Control UI/WebChat: keep short assistant replies clear of in-bubble copy/open action buttons by applying the existing reserved action spacing in the grouped chat renderer. Fixes #79509. (#81244) Thanks @JARVIS-Glasses.
+- Anthropic: reseed Claude CLI fresh-session retries from bounded OpenClaw transcript history after session rotation, preventing conversation amnesia. Fixes #80905. (#80934) Thanks @bitloi.
+- Require explicit browser device pairing [AI]. (#81289) Thanks @pgondhi987.
+- Require Control UI pairing before proxy-scoped access [AI]. (#81288) Thanks @pgondhi987.
+- Installer: honor `--version` for git installs and install from the checked-in lockfile, preventing recent dependency pins from tripping pnpm's minimum-release-age gate during tag installs.
+- Agents: deliver same-process subagent completion handoffs through the in-process agent dispatcher instead of opening a Gateway RPC loopback.
+- Harden trusted-proxy source validation [AI]. (#81290) Thanks @pgondhi987.
+- Agents: add permissive item schemas to array tool parameters before provider submission, preventing OpenAI-compatible schema validation from rejecting plugin tools that omit `items`. Fixes #81175. (#81217) Thanks @JARVIS-Glasses.
+- Agents: escalate LLM idle watchdog timeouts through profile rotation and configured model fallback instead of leaving agent turns stuck after a silent model stream. Fixes #76877. (#80449) Thanks @jimdawdy-hub.
+- Discord voice: treat OpenAI Realtime startup auth failures as fatal, suppress duplicate realtime error logs, and stop autoJoin from retrying the same broken voice channel until credentials are fixed.
+- ACPX: stop forwarding unsupported timeout config options to Claude ACP while preserving OpenClaw's own turn timeout. (#80812) Thanks @sxxtony.
+- Session transcripts: redact sensitive message content in the centralized JSONL append path so CLI turns, gateway transcript injection, transcript mirrors, and guarded tool results use the same configured redaction behavior. Fixes #73565. Refs #73563. (#79645) Thanks @Ziy1-Tan.
+- Channels/iMessage: ignore Apple link-preview plugin payload attachments when users paste URLs, keeping the URL text while avoiding phantom media context. (#79374) Thanks @homer-byte.
+- Telegram: detect polling stalls from `getUpdates` liveness only, so outbound API calls no longer mask dead inbound polling; log polling-cycle starts after transport rebuilds. Fixes #78473.
+- fix(plugins): scan installed dependency runtime code [AI]. (#81066) Thanks @pgondhi987.
+- Inherit tool restrictions for delegated sessions [AI]. (#80979) Thanks @pgondhi987.
+- Codex harness: make the live test wrapper portable to Windows and defer locked temp cleanup so native Windows and WSL2 live runs complete.
+- Telegram: discard legacy long-poll update offsets that cannot be tied to the current bot token, so token rotation no longer leaves bots silently skipping new messages. (#80671) Thanks @sxxtony.
+- browser: enforce navigation checks for act interactions [AI]. (#81070) Thanks @pgondhi987.
+- Validate node exec event provenance [AI]. (#81071) Thanks @pgondhi987.
+- Gateway: keep active reply runs visible to stuck-session diagnostics and clear no-active-work recovery state, preventing stale queued lanes after compaction or tool failures. Fixes #80677. (#81302)
+- Codex app-server: rotate incompatible context-engine-managed native threads so Lossless-managed sessions do not resume stale hidden Codex history. (#81223) Thanks @jalehman.
+- Codex cron: execute scheduled command-style automation payloads before workspace bootstrap or memory review, preserving existing isolated cron jobs after Codex harness migration. (#81510) Thanks @jalehman.
+- Gateway/OpenAI HTTP: return OpenAI-compatible 400 errors for invalid sampling params and provider validation failures instead of collapsing them to 500s. (#81275) Thanks @Lellansin.
+- Telegram: publish plugin and skill command description localizations to native command menus while filtering unsupported locale codes and preserving Telegram command limits. (#81351) Thanks @jzakirov.
+- Limit hook CLI tool authority [AI]. (#81065) Thanks @pgondhi987.
+- Require admin scope for node device token management [AI]. (#81067) Thanks @pgondhi987.
+- Restrict chat sender allowlist matching [AI]. (#80898) Thanks @pgondhi987.
+- Update: suppress the false newer-config warning during restart health probing after an update handoff, while keeping future-version mutation guards intact. (#78652)
+- Sessions: redact persisted tool result detail metadata before writing transcripts so diagnostic secrets do not survive tool output redaction. (#80444) Thanks @nimbleenigma.
+- Codex runtime: allow the official installed `@openclaw/codex` package to use its private task-runtime and MCP projection SDK helpers, fixing `MODULE_NOT_FOUND` during migrated OpenAI/Codex beta runs.
+- Codex migration: make Enter activate the highlighted checkbox row before continuing, so `Skip for now` and bulk-selection rows work even when planned items start preselected.
+- Link understanding: fetch page content through the SSRF guard before running configured CLI summarizers, preventing curl/wget-style link fetchers from reaching private redirect or DNS-rebound targets.
+- fix: harden safe-bin argument validation [AI]. (#80999) Thanks @pgondhi987.
+- fix: scan plugin runtime entries during install [AI]. (#80998) Thanks @pgondhi987.
+- Codex harness: keep auth-profile-backed media tools such as `image_generate` available when OpenAI auth lives in the agent's auth-profile store instead of environment variables.
+- Require auth for sandbox browser CDP relay [AI]. (#81002) Thanks @pgondhi987.
+- fix: detect carried exec command forms [AI]. (#81000) Thanks @pgondhi987.
+- Reject truncated exec approval commands [AI]. (#81001) Thanks @pgondhi987.

+- Rate limit Google Chat webhook requests [AI]. (#80974) Thanks @pgondhi987.
+- Docker: mount the auth-profile secret key directory so OAuth-backed auth profiles survive container rebuilds. (#80991)
+- Onboarding: accept Codex auth profiles for canonical OpenAI model checks, avoiding false missing-auth warnings. (#80913) Thanks @rubencu.
+- fix(feishu): normalize webhook rate-limit client keys [AI]. (#80975) Thanks @pgondhi987.

+- Validate Control UI loopback retry endpoints [AI]. (#80900) Thanks @pgondhi987.
+- Harden exported markdown link rendering [AI]. (#80902) Thanks @pgondhi987.
+- fix(gateway): honor minimal discovery mode for wide-area DNS-SD [AI]. (#80903) Thanks @pgondhi987.
+- slack: enforce reaction notification policy [AI]. (#80907) Thanks @pgondhi987.
+- Enforce gateway command scopes by caller context [AI]. (#80891) Thanks @pgondhi987.
+- Telegram/groups: in single-account setups, treat an explicit empty `accounts.<id>.groups: {}` map the same as undefined so the root `channels.telegram.groups` allowlist still applies, instead of silently dropping every group update under the default `groupPolicy: "allowlist"`. Multi-account semantics are unchanged so per-account explicit-empty groups still scope-disable a single account without affecting siblings; the explicit way to block all groups for any account remains `groupPolicy: "disabled"`. Fixes #79427. (#81030) Thanks @kinjitakabe.
+- Codex (app-server): project user-configured `mcp.servers` into new Codex thread configs, matching the codex-cli runtime's existing `-c mcp_servers=...` behavior so app-server-runtime agents see the same user MCP servers the CLI runtime already exposes. Plugin-curated apps remain attached via the separate `apps` config patch. Fixes #80814. Thanks @kinjitakabe.
+- Enforce Slack plugin approval button authorization [AI]. (#80899) Thanks @pgondhi987.
+- Recognize PowerShell -ec inline commands [AI]. (#80893) Thanks @pgondhi987.
+- fix(qqbot): authorize approval button callbacks [AI]. (#80892) Thanks @pgondhi987.
+- Telegram: render supported HTML tags in streamed and durable replies instead of showing literal markup. (#80977)
+- Scrub streamable MCP redirect headers [AI]. (#80906) Thanks @pgondhi987.
+- fix(memory-wiki): require admin scope for ingest [AI]. (#80897) Thanks @pgondhi987.
+- memory-wiki: require write scope for Obsidian search [AI]. (#80904) Thanks @pgondhi987.
+- WhatsApp: externalize the channel as a ClawHub/npm plugin outside the core npm runtime bundle, and bump Baileys to `7.0.0-rc11` so libsignal resolves from the registry instead of a GitHub tarball.
+- WhatsApp: keep optional audio decoding dependencies local to the external plugin so the core npm install no longer pulls WhatsApp-only media helpers.
+- Build: skip copied metadata for bundled plugins that are excluded from build entries, preventing update/status rebuilds from advertising missing QQ Bot runtime files. (#80925)
+- Control UI/sessions: nest subagent sessions under their parent session in the session picker dropdown using a visual `└─ ` prefix, making the parent-child relationship clear. Fixes #77628. (#78623) Thanks @chinar-amrutkar.
+- Telegram: limit concurrent startup `getMe` probes across multi-account bots so large Telegram configs do not fan out all account probes at once during gateway startup. Refs #80695. (#80986) Thanks @stainlu.
+- fix(config): reject auto-managed meta.lastTouched\* paths in config set/unset (#80856). Thanks @ai-hpc
+- Auto-reply: surface a visible error when the configured model backend fails and fallback produces no visible reply, while preserving intentional silent turns and side-effect-only deliveries. (#80917) Thanks @dutifulbob.
+- Agents/exec: skip redundant heartbeat wake-ups for subagent session exec completions, preventing spurious LLM invocations on parent sessions. Fixes #66748. (#66749) Thanks @ggzeng.
+- Provider streams: keep OpenAI-compatible SSE and JSON fallback streams draining across split chunks and fail Azure Responses streams with a bounded first-event diagnostic instead of stalling. Refs #80926. (#80927) Thanks @galiniliev and @CaptainTimon.
+- Agents: rewrite generic provider internal errors with support request IDs into user-friendly transient error copy. (#49401) Thanks @y471823206.
+- WhatsApp: finish handling pending debounced inbound messages before closing the socket. (#81246) Thanks @mcaxtr.
+- CLI/commitments: write `--json` output to stdout instead of diagnostic logs so automation can parse commitment list and dismiss results. (#81215) Thanks @giodl73-repo.
+- Update: allow pnpm GitHub-source OpenClaw updates to approve the OpenClaw package build, so source installs complete their prepare/prepack lifecycle. (#81294) Thanks @fuller-stack-dev.
+- Test state: seed isolated auth-profile secret keys for generated homes, preventing helper-backed proof runs from falling back to host Keychain secrets. (#81393) Thanks @altaywtf.
+- Plugins/runtime: attribute deprecated runtime config load/write warnings to the plugin id and source that triggered them so logs and plugin doctor runs are actionable. Refs #81394. (#81425) Thanks @BKF-Gitty.
+- Plugins/update: clear stale allow/deny entries and selected plugin slots when disabling a plugin after update failure, keeping failed external plugin updates from leaving half-disabled config. (#81512) Thanks @JARVIS-Glasses.
+- Memory/LanceDB: make auto-capture recognize short CJK memory phrases and configurable literal triggers, so Chinese, Japanese, and Korean users can capture memories without regex or LLM intent detection. Fixes #75680. Thanks @vyctorbrzezowski and @guokewuming.
+- Plugins doctor: report stale plugin config warnings and avoid claiming full plugin health when config warnings remain. (#81515) Thanks @BKF-Gitty.
+- Sessions: display `model: "<agentId>-acp"` / `modelProvider: "acpx"` (ACP-runtime sentinel) for ACP control-plane sessions in `openclaw sessions` output, instead of the agent's configured model which was misleading. Catalog finding 20. (#79543)
+- Slack: normalize message read `before` and `after` timestamp bounds before calling Slack history or thread reply APIs. Fixes #80835. (#81338) Thanks @honor2030.
 
 ### Changes
 
-- Agents/config: support per-agent bootstrap profile overrides for `contextInjection`, `bootstrapMaxChars`, and `bootstrapTotalMaxChars`, inheriting from `agents.defaults` when omitted. Fixes #69966. Thanks @BunsDev.
-- Dependencies: route root ambient Node proxy agents through `@openclaw/proxyline` and drop root `proxy-agent`, `https-proxy-agent`, and `minimatch` dependencies.
-- Canvas: lazy-load HTTP host, hosted media resolver, CLI implementation, and tool runtime modules so Gateway startup only pays Canvas implementation cost on first use. (#82001) Thanks @samzong.
-- Control UI/i18n: add a `pnpm ui:i18n:report` baseline report for hardcoded-copy focus areas and locale fallback metadata. (#81320) Thanks @samzong.
-- Maintainer tooling: add a repo-local `codex-review` skill for Codex closeout reviews, including local dirty-work and PR-branch review helpers that rerun until no accepted/actionable findings remain and avoid unsupported inline prompts with `--base`.
-- Maintainer tooling: fail CI when pull requests add package patch files or pnpm patched dependencies, preserving the upstream-and-bump dependency workflow.
-- Codex app-server: stream commentary preambles into editable channel progress drafts without promoting them to final answers.
-- Codex migration: remove the bundled `codex-cli` backend and repair legacy `codex-cli/*` model refs to the Codex app-server route on `openai/*`.
-- Gateway/startup: add owner-level startup trace attribution for auth, plugin loading, lookup counts, and plugin sidecar services. (#81738) Thanks @samzong.
-- Plugins/hooks: expose the resolved effective `contextTokenBudget` plus source/reference metadata on `llm_output` and sanitized `model_call_*` hook events/contexts so plugin cost and context-health alerts can use agent-level context caps. Fixes #64327. Thanks @BunsDev.
-- Channels/status reactions: wire `StatusReactionController` into WhatsApp message turns (queued → thinking → tool → done/error lifecycle, on par with Telegram and Discord), add `deploy`/`build`/`concierge` emoji categories with tool-token routing, and replace the status reaction defaults with self-explanatory emoji (🧠 thinking, 🛠️ tool, 💻 coding, 🌐 web, ⏳ stallSoft, ⚠️ stallHard, ✅ done, ❌ error, 🗜️ compacting) so stall and lifecycle reactions read as status indicators instead of emotional commentary. Fixes #59077. (#80612) Thanks @gado-ships-it.
 - Control UI: add a browser-local Text size setting in Appearance and Quick Settings, scaling chat and dense UI text while keeping inputs above the mobile Safari focus-zoom threshold. Fixes #8547. Thanks @BunsDev.
 - Docs: add a dedicated ds4 provider page with local DeepSeek V4 Flash config, on-demand startup, context sizing, and live verification steps.
 - Release validation: add a package-installed Docker user-journey lane that verifies onboarding, mocked model setup, external plugin install/uninstall, ClickClack outbound/inbound messaging, Gateway restart survival, and doctor.
@@ -35,222 +127,6 @@ Docs: https://docs.openclaw.ai
 - Agents/subagents: deliver native `sessions_spawn` tasks in the child session's first visible `[Subagent Task]` message instead of hiding the task in the sub-agent system prompt, keeping delegation auditable without duplicating tokens. Fixes #78592. Thanks @bradestes and @stainlu.
 - Messages/queue: make mid-turn prompts steer active runs by default via `/queue steer`, preserve `/queue followup` and `/queue collect` for users who want messages to queue by default, and make `/steer` continue as a normal prompt when steering is unavailable. (#77023) Thanks @fuller-stack-dev.
 - Voice Call/Telnyx: add realtime media-streaming call support for conversational voice calls. (#81024) Thanks @dynamite-bud.
-- Dependencies: add release dependency evidence reports, npm advisory gating, and PR dependency-change awareness so maintainers can review dependency risk before and during releases. Thanks @joshavant.
-- Gateway: expose optional `isHeartbeat` metadata on agent event payloads so clients can distinguish scheduled heartbeat runs from ordinary chat runs. (#80610) Thanks @medns.
-- Agents: add `agents.defaults.runRetries` and `agents.list[].runRetries` config for embedded Pi runner retry loop limits. (#80661) Thanks @medns.
-- Codex: add node-backed Codex CLI session listing and binding so an OpenClaw conversation can continue an existing Codex CLI session running on a paired node.

-### Fixes
-
-- Agents: retry empty final turns for generic `anthropic-messages` providers instead of limiting non-visible recovery to Kimi, so custom/proxied Anthropic-compatible routes can recover with a visible answer. Addresses #46080. Thanks @wmgx, @w1tv, and @iFwu.
-- Control UI: rotate browser service-worker caches per build so updated Gateways are less likely to keep serving stale dashboard bundles that trigger protocol mismatch errors.
-- Discord: report unresolved configured bot-token SecretRefs during startup instead of treating the account as unconfigured. (#82009) Thanks @giodl73-repo.
-- CLI/config: preserve numeric-looking object keys such as Discord guild IDs during `config patch` recursive merges. (#81999) Thanks @giodl73-repo.
-- Control UI/WebChat: let sidebar markdown code-block Copy buttons use the same delegated clipboard handler as chat messages. (#58709) Thanks @tikitoki.
-- Discord/streaming: only mark partial draft previews delivered after final edit or fallback delivery succeeds, so failed finalization cleanup removes stale truncated drafts instead of leaving them as the visible reply. Fixes #82035. Thanks @compoodment.
-- macOS/Gateway: surface leftover `ai.openclaw.update.*` launchd updater jobs in `openclaw gateway status --deep` and doctor so post-update launchd loops point at the stale job cleanup. Fixes #81859. Thanks @BKF-Gitty.
-- macOS/screen snapshots: reject malformed `screen.snapshot` params before capture, bound base64 results against the projected `node.invoke.result` frame, and preserve stable caller-facing errors for oversized payloads and capture failures. Fixes #68181. Thanks @shaun0927 and @BunsDev.
-- Config/doctor: rotate capped `.clobbered.*` repair snapshots by artifact timestamp so repeated repairs keep the newest forensic copy instead of preserving only the first capped set. (#82012) Thanks @Kaspre.
-- Telegram: initialize the bot before isolated polling drains spooled updates so default isolated polling no longer retries every update with `Bot not initialized` and stalls replies. Fixes #81973. (#81975) Thanks @neeravmakwana.
-- Telegram: apply method-aware Bot API request timeouts to direct message/action clients so `openclaw message delete --channel telegram` no longer waits on grammY's 500-second default when the API request wedges. Fixes #81908. Thanks @DashLabsDev.
-- Cron: treat attempt dispatch and assembled context as execution-start milestones so isolated agent jobs that have reached backend dispatch are governed by their configured job timeout instead of the 60s pre-execution watchdog. Fixes #81368. (#81871) Thanks @alexph-dev.
-- Doctor/auth: warn about stale per-agent OAuth auth profile shadows and let `openclaw doctor --fix` remove the local shadow so agents inherit the fresher main-agent credential.
-- Status/channels: show configured channels whose plugin setup failed to load as `plugin load failed: dependency tree corrupted; run openclaw doctor --fix` instead of silently dropping them from `openclaw status`.
-- Status/update: show pending or failed update restart handoffs in `openclaw status` and make `openclaw update` print explicit gateway restart verified, skipped, or failed guidance.
-- QA/update: add an E2E corrupt plugin dependency lane that verifies `status --all` guidance, `doctor --fix` cleanup, and channel status recovery.
-- Discord/channels: make `openclaw channels list --all` prefer reachable Gateway runtime account status and mark configured-but-unavailable credentials, avoiding false `not configured` output when Discord is running from service-only env. Fixes #79343. Thanks @EricY019.
-- WhatsApp: mark text slash commands as command turns so authorized group command replies stay visible under message-tool-only group reply mode. (#81972) Thanks @barbarhan.
-- Providers/OpenCode Go: stop sending unsupported reasoning parameters to Kimi K2.5/K2.6, avoiding OpenCode Go payload-validation failures while preserving DeepSeek V4 reasoning support.
-- Installer: handle noninteractive git installs from moving refs without tag-fetch conflicts, while keeping immutable refs on frozen lockfile installs. (#81875) Thanks @keshavbotagent.
-- Codex app-server: inject native client factories per run and compaction attempt instead of using module-scope test state, avoiding temporal-dead-zone reads during cyclic startup. (#81148) Thanks @bdjben.
-- Plugin skills: replace generated Windows plugin-skill directories before publishing the current skill link, avoiding repeated `EINVAL` warnings from stale non-symlink entries. Fixes #81432. (#81446) Thanks @hclsys and @vincentkoc.
-- Channels/config: treat channel entries with only `enabled: true` as configured state so plugin-backed channels can auto-enable from an explicit on switch. Fixes #81323. (#81331) Thanks @EvanYao826 and @vincentkoc.
-- CLI/update: add an update finalization path for externally swapped core runtimes, running update-time doctor repair and plugin convergence from post-doctor config and install-record state before reporting completion. Thanks @shakkernerd.
-- CLI/update: refresh config after package-update doctor repairs before post-update plugin sync, avoiding stale-hash conflicts during package upgrade journeys.
-- macOS/Gateway: hand managed LaunchAgent package self-updates to the post-exit CLI path and report handoff failures through the update restart sentinel instead of leaving agent-invoked updates pending. Fixes #81894. (#81945) Thanks @BKF-Gitty.
-- Agents/WebChat: stop a successful assistant turn whose stale `errorMessage` matches a billing, auth, or rate-limit pattern from rotating profiles, falling back, or surfacing a hard `FailoverError` unless the current attempt has a real failover failure. (#70900) Thanks @truffle-dev.
-- Control UI/usage: remove the duplicated inner Usage page heading so the shared dashboard header is the only page title. Thanks @BunsDev.
-- Control UI/WebChat: keep mobile PWA composer controls above the iOS home indicator when standalone safe-area insets under-report. Fixes #77408. Thanks @BunsDev.
-- Control UI/logs: make the Gateway Logs stream height responsive to the viewport with a minimum height floor, so larger screens can show substantially more log lines without collapsing on shorter viewports. (#53916) Thanks @extrasmall0.
-- ACP/Codex: surface redacted Codex wrapper stderr for generic ACP internal failures and preserve safe Codex model/provider routing in isolated `CODEX_HOME`, making `sessions_spawn(runtime="acp", agentId="codex")` failures actionable. Fixes #80079. (#80718) Thanks @leoge007.
-- Agents/trace: mark execution traces as fallback-used when merged fallback attempts prove a primary model failed before the winning attempt, keeping `/trace raw` and agent JSON telemetry consistent. Addresses fallback telemetry in #81213. Thanks @BKF-Gitty.
-- ACP: treat rejected timeout config options as best-effort hints so ACP turns continue with adapters that do not support `session/set_config_option` timeout keys. Fixes #81250. (#81603) Thanks @qkal.
-- Cron/Codex: default exact-command scheduled agent turns to lightweight bootstrap context so automation runs the command before loading workspace identity or memory context.
-- Codex cron: disable native Codex project-doc loading for lightweight app-server cron turns so scheduled jobs avoid project-doc injection after OpenClaw suppresses bootstrap context. (#81822) Thanks @jalehman.
-- Codex plugin/Gateway: strip unpaired UTF-16 surrogates from Codex app-server JSON-RPC payloads and let stale reply-work recovery abort stalled reply runs, preventing malformed media turns from wedging gateway lanes.
-- Codex app server: force OAuth refresh requests to perform a real token refresh instead of reusing unchanged inherited auth-profile tokens after refresh failures. (#80738) Thanks @simplyclever914.
-- Control UI/WebChat: render `/tts audio` replies as playable audio attachments through the assistant-media ticket path, with structured-audio compatibility for older live payloads. (#81722) Thanks @Conan-Scott.
-- Bind gateway approval access to requester metadata [AI]. (#81380) Thanks @pgondhi987.
-- Telegram: let isolated polling drain independent topics, DMs, and status/control commands concurrently while preserving same-lane order. (#81849) Thanks @VACInc.
-- Telegram: derive readable plain-text retries from HTML fallback sends so parse failures show `label (url)` links instead of raw anchors. (#81764) Thanks @alexph-dev.
-- Ollama/Doctor: copy explicit native Ollama `contextWindow` or `maxTokens` provider/model budgets into `params.num_ctx` during `openclaw doctor --fix`, preserving large-context configs after native Ollama stopped inferring per-request `num_ctx`. Fixes #81878. (#81928) Thanks @joshavant and @ArthurusDent.
-- Discord: honor `threadName` on `message send` to existing threads by renaming the thread after successful delivery, and warn when the rename cannot be applied. Fixes #81836. (#81933) Thanks @joshavant.
-- Build: keep externalized Slack, OpenShell sandbox, and Anthropic Vertex runtime dependency declarations out of the root dist artifact build.
-- ClawHub: include Amazon Bedrock and Bedrock Mantle provider packages in the published registry metadata so the externalized providers are discoverable from ClawHub as well as npm.
-- Codex account/status: hide empty rate-limit buckets and show server-reported usage-limit blocks without calling them available.
-- Auto-reply/Claude CLI: bridge CLI-runtime assistant text-delta agent events into the chat reasoning preview through `onReasoningStream`, mirroring the existing assistant-text (#76914) and tool-event (#80046) bridges and adding gating so non-CLI runtimes are unaffected. Thanks @anagnorisis2peripeteia and @pashpashpash.
-- Mantis: keep QA evidence in Actions artifacts only and stop publishing evidence files to Git-backed artifact branches.
-- CLI/migrate: handle delayed Codex plugin marketplace responses so warnings, next-steps, and conflict states render with ⚠️ glyphs and post-install migration retries the marketplace fetch instead of silently skipping plugin items. (#81625) Thanks @sjf.
-- Channels/Weixin: bump the bundled `@tencent-weixin/openclaw-weixin` external entry to `2.4.3` (from `2.4.1`) so onboarding and `openclaw channels add` install the current Tencent Weixin (personal WeChat) plugin release. (#81730) Thanks @scotthuang.
-- CLI: lazy-load model, plugin, and device runtime helpers and keep channel option help on generated startup metadata or generic fallback text so parent/help output renders without importing those runtime paths.
-- CLI: route `plugins list --json` through the parsed command fast path and cover it in response budgets so plugin JSON inventory avoids full CLI registration work.
-- Control UI/Overview: render recent session rows through the shared session display resolver so label/displayName priority, key-equivalent labels, and channel fallbacks stay consistent with the chat selector. (#50696) Thanks @Maple778 and @BunsDev.
-- Gateway/network: keep OpenClaw-installed undici dispatchers on HTTP/1.1 and treat destroyed HTTP/2 session errors as recoverable network teardown, preventing `ERR_HTTP2_INVALID_SESSION` from crashing active gateway turns. Fixes #81627. (#81838) Thanks @joshavant.
-- Memory/daily-files: widen the daily-memory file matcher used by Dreaming, rem-backfill, rem-harness, the doctor sweep, and short-term promotion so `memory/YYYY-MM-DD-<slug>.md` files written by the bundled session-memory hook (and any future slugged variants) are discovered alongside the date-only `memory/YYYY-MM-DD.md` shape. Date extraction still uses the leading `YYYY-MM-DD` capture group, so per-day ingestion/promotion semantics are unchanged for existing date-only files; slugged files now flow through the same paths instead of being silently skipped. Fixes #69536. Thanks @jack-stormentswe.
-- macOS/Gateway: fail managed LaunchAgent stop and restart when the configured gateway port remains busy after cleanup instead of reporting success while a listener survives. Fixes #73132. Thanks @BunsDev.
-- Telegram: reuse the sticky IPv4 Bot API transport for periodic getMe health checks, so IPv4-working hosts with broken IPv6 egress stop logging repeated probe timeouts. Fixes #76852. (#76856) Thanks @SymbolStar.
-- Telegram: ship the isolated polling worker at the root dist path used by the bundled worker loader, avoiding startup failures looking for `dist/telegram-ingress-worker.runtime.js`.
-- Control UI/Gateway: stop stale token-mismatch reconnect loops when no trusted device-token retry is available, and cap rendered chat history by raw tool-output size so dashboard auth/history work cannot keep degrading channel sockets. Fixes #72139. Thanks @BunsDev.
-- Memory/daily-files: prioritize the canonical `memory/YYYY-MM-DD.md` daily note before same-day slugged session captures during capped live ingestion and historical seeding, preserving existing daily-note behavior when slugged files exist.
-- Gateway/OpenAI-compatible HTTP: parse shared JSON endpoint paths without trusting malformed Host headers, avoiding 500s before `/v1/chat/completions`, `/v1/responses`, and `/v1/embeddings` request handling.
-- Telegram: resolve plugin native commands with the active runtime config so commands like `/codex ...` stay on the native command path.
-- Voice-call webhooks: parse webhook and realtime upgrade paths without trusting malformed Host headers, avoiding 500s before provider signature checks or path rejection.
-- Media store: reject malformed redirect `Location` headers as media-download failures instead of letting URL parsing escape the async response callback.
-- ClickClack: skip malformed realtime websocket frames instead of stopping the channel monitor on a single bad JSON event.
-- Browser tool: treat malformed node proxy `payloadJSON` responses as browser proxy failures instead of leaking raw JSON parser errors.

Fixes #81538. Thanks @atomicmonk.
-- Plugins: memoize repeated in-process plugin metadata snapshots and keep vanished managed-install residue from forcing full derived discovery, reducing gateway/status startup scans under large plugin sets. Fixes #81143 and #79806. (#81570) Thanks @Kaspre, @holgergruenhagen, @JanPlessow, and @mjamiv.
-- CLI/plugins: route lazy plugin command-registration chatter to stderr only during JSON-output command registration, keeping plugin-backed `--json` stdout parseable without changing parse-only or pass-through `--json` behavior. Fixes #81535. (#81536) Thanks @ScientificProgrammer and @vincentkoc.
-- Plugins: treat git plugin install refs as refs instead of checkout flags, so option-like selectors fail checkout instead of silently installing the default branch. Fixes #79898. (#79901) Thanks @afurm and @vincentkoc.
-- Doctor/memory: stop warning that no memory plugin is active when an enabled alternate memory plugin explicitly owns the memory slot, while preserving the warning for missing or disabled slot entries. Fixes #78540. (#78557) Thanks @carladams1299-lab and @vincentkoc.
-- Plugins: keep process-local plugin metadata snapshot memo freshness tied to the cached registry snapshot so policy-stale derived plugin metadata edits invalidate the memo instead of returning stale owners or command aliases. (#81064) Thanks @Kaspre.
-- Plugins: discover provider plugins from `setup.providers[].envVars` credentials during provider discovery while keeping the deprecated `providerAuthEnvVars` fallback. (#81542) Thanks @JARVIS-Glasses.
-- Docs/Codex harness: clarify that per-agent `CODEX_HOME` isolates `~/.codex` while inherited `HOME` intentionally keeps `.agents` discovery and subprocess user-home state available.
-- CLI/plugins: keep bare plugin and parent-command help on the lightweight path, avoiding plugin registry discovery before rendering help.
-- Auth: reclaim dead-owner stale file locks before retrying locked writes, so crashed OAuth refreshes no longer wedge `auth-profiles.json` until manual cleanup.
-- CLI tables: preserve muted/color styling on wrapped continuation lines after multiline cells, keeping `openclaw plugins list` descriptions readable.
-- Process execution: collapse case-insensitive duplicate child environment keys on Windows so caller-provided overrides such as `PATH` cannot be shadowed by host `Path`.
-- Browser CLI: request the existing `operator.admin` gateway scope explicitly for browser control commands, avoiding unnecessary scope-upgrade approval loops. Fixes #81555. (#81716) Thanks @joshavant.
-- Web: honor explicitly configured global `web_search` providers during provider ownership resolution while keeping sandboxed `web_fetch` limited to bundled providers.
-- Plugins/doctor: repair configured legacy npm declaration stubs by reinstalling their npm packages into the managed plugin root instead of loading workspace `node_modules`, and warn when discovery sees those stubs. Fixes #79632. Thanks @Dylanzhang1128 and @vincentkoc.
-- Channels: keep configured third-party channel plugins visible in `openclaw channels list` when their manifest declares `channels` but has not added `channelConfigs` metadata yet. Fixes #81334. (#81340) Thanks @AllynSheep and @vincentkoc.
-- Agents: skip bootstrap file and hook preload work on completed `continuation-skip` turns when no workspace bootstrap is pending, reducing isolated-agent prep latency without changing first-turn bootstrap behavior. Fixes #81548. Thanks @delizaran-unpa.
-- Config: validate JSON dry-runs against plugin-owned channel schemas, so external channel fields are not rejected by stale bundled schemas. Fixes #77887. (#81504) Thanks @giodl73-repo.
-- iOS: restore first-use Contacts, Calendar, and Reminders permission prompts and add Privacy & Access status/actions in Settings. Thanks @BunsDev.
-- Canvas: return not found for malformed percent-encoded Canvas/A2UI/document asset paths and keep decoded parent traversal blocked before path normalization.
-- Telegram: allow trusted local Bot API media files whose filenames start with dots instead of falling back to remote download.
-- Agents/Codex app-server: remap injected context files under dot-dot-prefixed workspace directories when a run switches to an effective sandbox workspace.
-- Control UI/i18n: use the installed workspace pi runtime for locale refreshes, update the fallback package pin, and skip scheduled refreshes with invalid provider credentials instead of failing main.
-- CI/performance: authenticate the clawgrit report repository remote during both checkout and publish so performance report pushes do not fail after benchmarks complete.
-- Hooks: load workspace-relative legacy hook modules from dot-dot-prefixed directories without treating the filename prefix as parent traversal.
-- Plugins: preserve installed package metadata and persisted registry freshness checks for plugin package paths under dot-dot-prefixed directories.
-- Agents: allow dot-dot-prefixed filenames such as `..note.txt` through sandbox FS bridge, remote sandbox reads, and apply_patch summaries without mistaking the name for parent traversal.
-- CLI/migrate: hide per-item source/plugin hints on non-conflicting Codex skill and plugin selection prompts, keeping the hint text reserved for rows that actually need attention. Thanks @sjf.
-- Codex harness: treat high-confidence app-server OAuth refresh invalidation as a terminal auth-profile failure, stopping repeated raw token-refresh errors without turning entitlement or usage-limit payloads into re-auth prompts.
-- CLI/migrate: humanize Codex conflict-status messaging across the migrate UI so selection prompts and plan/result rows say "Codex skill already installed in workspace" instead of surfacing internal `MIGRATION_REASON_*` codes. Thanks @sjf.
-- CLI/migrate: render migrate result rows with distinct glyphs for manual-review (🔍) and archive (📖) items instead of the misleading "skipped" and "migrated" checkmarks, so users can see which entries still need attention versus which were filed away. Thanks @sjf.
-- CLI/migrate: split Codex migrate output into separate preview and result phases so the Before plan and After result render through clack with independently tunable copy. Thanks @sjf.
-- Codex app-server: project bundle and user MCP servers into Codex threads, rotate threads when an MCP server is disabled, scope bundle MCP injection to bundled servers, and resend user MCP config on resume so MCP changes take effect mid-session without restarting the agent. (#81551) Thanks @jalehman.
-- Codex migration: invoke the managed Codex binary instead of a stale system `codex` for source-config migration plans, so users running the bundled Codex runtime get plan output that matches the binary the gateway will actually use. (#81582) Thanks @fuller-stack-dev.
-- Subagents/maintenance: preserve pending subagent registry sessions during session-store cleanup, pruning, and disk-budget enforcement so in-flight subagent runs are not deleted by background maintenance before they complete. (#81498) Thanks @ai-hpc.
-- Control UI/chat: reconcile terminal and reconnect run cleanup with cached session activity, stale compaction/fallback indicators, and a compact composer run-status chip so completed or interrupted turns do not leave Stop active. Fixes #76874 and #64220; refs #71630. Thanks @BunsDev.
-- Maintainer tooling: clarify which pnpm test/check commands are safe locally versus inside Codex worktrees, routing linked-worktree gates through node wrappers and Crabbox/Testbox.
-- Auto-reply: preserve same-key ordering when debounced inbound work falls back to immediate flushes, so follow-up turns cannot overtake an active buffered flush.
-- Telegram/WhatsApp: keep Telegram same-chat replies ordered behind active no-delay turns without blocking WhatsApp follow-up message dispatch.
-- Codex migration: avoid duplicate cached plugin bundle warnings when app-server plugin inventory is available.
-- Agents: suppress aborted embedded assistant partials, reasoning text, reply directives, and stale prior replies before user-facing delivery while preserving clean timeout/error payloads. Fixes #48241. Thanks @BunsDev, @andyliu, and @yassinebkr.
-- Agents: allow dot-dot-prefixed filenames such as `..file.txt` inside workspace and sandbox path policy while still rejecting real parent traversal.
-- Native image input: detect Windows drive image paths in plain prompts so `C:\...\screenshot.png` references are not missed.
-- Media: normalize Windows-style filename hints before staging attachments, remote media, audio transcodes, and saved-media display names, so POSIX hosts do not preserve drive or directory text in generated filenames.
-- Media references: resolve first-level inbound media files whose IDs start with dots instead of treating names like `..photo.png` as parent traversal.
-- iOS/chat: resize PhotosPicker image attachments to capped JPEGs before staging and sending, stripping source metadata and keeping oversized camera photos under the chat upload budget. Fixes #68524. Thanks @BunsDev.
-- Control UI: keep shared form, config, and usage text-entry controls at 16px on touch-primary devices while preserving chat composer input sizing, so iOS Safari no longer auto-zooms focused fields. Fixes #64651; carries forward #64673. Thanks @NianJiuZst and @BunsDev.
-- Agents/trajectory: make the trajectory flush cleanup timeout configurable with `OPENCLAW_TRAJECTORY_FLUSH_TIMEOUT_MS`, preserving the 10s default while slower stores drain. Refs #75839. Thanks @BunsDev.
-- Skills: load ClawHub and local-manager skill-directory symlinks from managed `~/.openclaw/skills` and personal `~/.agents/skills` roots while keeping workspace, extra, bundled, and per-skill `SKILL.md` containment fail-closed. Fixes #44051. Refs #59219. Thanks @Devattom, @ArthurNie, and @luoxiao6645.
-- Config: return the canonical persisted config from `config.set`, `config.apply`, and `config.patch` responses after write-time shaping. Fixes #77455.
-- Codex auth: accept OAuth profiles backed by `oauthRef` during runtime auth selection, so official Codex OAuth logins are used by app-server agent runs. (#81633) Thanks @obviyus.
-- Telegram: release stopped polling leases after the gateway stop grace so in-process restarts can reuse the same bot token without weakening active duplicate-poller protection. Fixes #81507. (#81890) Thanks @joshavant.
-- ACP: preserve redacted numeric JSON-RPC `RequestError` details in runtime failure text, so backend diagnostics are visible instead of only `Internal error`. Fixes #81126. (#81188) Thanks @vyctorbrzezowski.
-- Agents: cache unchanged PI model discovery stores and model lookups, reducing repeated model-resolution startup latency under large model configs. Fixes #78851.
-- Onboarding: carry returned Codex plugin migration config through the OpenAI model wizard so accepted plugin migrations are saved with the final config write.
-- Security/Windows ACL audit: classify Anonymous Logon, Guests, Interactive, Local, and Network SIDs as world-equivalent principals so broadly writable paths stay critical instead of being downgraded to group-writable. Fixes #74350. (#74383) Thanks @dwc1997.
-- Media-understanding: retry transient remote attachment fetch failures before audio or vision processing, so Discord voice notes are not lost after one network/CDN blip. Fixes #74316. Thanks @vyctorbrzezowski and @gabrielexito-stack.
-- Control UI: order timestamped live stream and tool items before untimestamped history fallbacks, keeping chat history in visible time order. Fixes #80759. (#81016) Thanks @akrimm702.
-- ClawHub: cancel stalled archive body reads for skill, package, and ClawPack downloads instead of leaving installs hanging after headers arrive. Fixes #52073. Refs #80006. Thanks @xinhuagu and @stainlu.
-- macOS/Chat: render persisted assistant provider failures from `errorMessage` in refreshed chat history while keeping stale non-error provider details hidden. (#65689) Thanks @javierdici.
-- Control UI/config: discard stale redacted placeholders from form-mode config saves while preserving restorable saved secrets, so unrelated settings changes no longer submit `__OPENCLAW_REDACTED__` as real data. Fixes #60917. Thanks @giodl73-repo and @BunsDev.
-- OpenAI plugin: clarify remote Codex OAuth login copy so tunneled users know sign-in may finish automatically before they paste the redirect URL. (#81301) Thanks @rubencu.
-- SGLang: preserve replayed reasoning history for OpenAI-compatible chat completions, keeping thinking-capable local models from losing prior reasoning turns. (#81091) Thanks @akrimm702.
-- Plugins/install: derive managed peer dependency pins from npm's lockfile planner instead of recursively scanning `node_modules`, while keeping OpenClaw host peers out of managed root ownership and preserving active root-managed runtimes. Thanks @fuller-stack-dev.
-- Control UI/WebChat: keep short assistant replies clear of in-bubble copy/open action buttons by applying the existing reserved action spacing in the grouped chat renderer. Fixes #79509. (#81244) Thanks @JARVIS-Glasses.
-- Codex harness: make the live test wrapper portable to Windows and defer locked temp cleanup so native Windows and WSL2 live runs complete.
-- Link understanding: fetch page content through the SSRF guard before running configured CLI summarizers, preventing curl/wget-style link fetchers from reaching private redirect or DNS-rebound targets.
-- fix: harden safe-bin argument validation [AI]. (#80999) Thanks @pgondhi987.
-- Codex/status: align `/codex status` rate-limit wording with `/status` by showing remaining quota and compact reset durations instead of used quota and raw ISO timestamps. Thanks @MatthewSchleder.
-- Mattermost: log a structured `mattermost no-visible-reply` diagnostic when a substantive (non-reasoning) final reply payload reaches `deliverMattermostReplyPayload` but the underlying `deliverTextOrMediaReply` returns `"empty"` — previously the run completed with a misleading `delivered reply to <channel>` log even though no Mattermost API send happened, masking silent completions in channel/thread contexts. No behavior change; the diagnostic surfaces the failure so operators can detect it instead of seeing the agent appear to go silent. Fixes #80501. Thanks @robbyproc87.
-- Telegram: limit concurrent startup `getMe` probes across multi-account bots so large Telegram configs do not fan out all account probes at once during gateway startup. Refs #80695. (#80986) Thanks @stainlu.
-- fix(config): reject auto-managed meta.lastTouched\* paths in config set/unset (#80856). Thanks @ai-hpc
-- Test state: seed isolated auth-profile secret keys for generated homes, preventing helper-backed proof runs from falling back to host Keychain secrets. (#81393) Thanks @altaywtf.
-- Plugins/update: clear stale allow/deny entries and selected plugin slots when disabling a plugin after update failure, keeping failed external plugin updates from leaving half-disabled config. (#81512) Thanks @JARVIS-Glasses.
-- Memory/LanceDB: make auto-capture recognize short CJK memory phrases and configurable literal triggers, so Chinese, Japanese, and Korean users can capture memories without regex or LLM intent detection. Fixes #75680. Thanks @vyctorbrzezowski and @guokewuming.
-- Plugins doctor: report stale plugin config warnings and avoid claiming full plugin health when config warnings remain. (#81515) Thanks @BKF-Gitty.
-- Sessions: display `model: "<agentId>-acp"` / `modelProvider: "acpx"` (ACP-runtime sentinel) for ACP control-plane sessions in `openclaw sessions` output, instead of the agent's configured model which was misleading. Catalog finding 20. (#79543)
-- Slack: normalize message read `before` and `after` timestamp bounds before calling Slack history or thread reply APIs. Fixes #80835. (#81338) Thanks @honor2030.
-- Gateway: throttle assistant/thinking agent event fanout during streaming bursts without dropping buffered deltas. (#80335) Thanks @samzong.
-- Models: restore authenticated CLI runtime providers in the `/models` picker while keeping legacy runtime aliases hidden from setup/default model choices. Closes #81212. (#81239) Thanks @anagnorisis2peripeteia.
-- Changelog gates: reject bot/app handles as `Thanks` attribution and require explicit human credit for bot/app-authored changelog entries. (#81357) Thanks @hxy91819.
-- Agents/heartbeat: fix seven layered issues that broke multi-agent heartbeat cadence — (1) fan out the scheduler broadcast wake across agents in parallel via `Promise.all` instead of awaiting each `runOnce` sequentially, so one agent doing real work no longer starves every later agent in iteration order; (2) scope `skipWhenBusy` to lanes attributable to the firing agent via session-key parsing of `session:agent:<id>:…` / `nested:agent:<id>:…` lane names, instead of consulting the global `subagent` lane, so a single stuck subagent on one agent no longer silently disables every other agent's heartbeat; (3) always append workspace `HEARTBEAT.md` directives (everything outside an optional `tasks:` block) to the dispatch prompt, so prose-runbook `HEARTBEAT.md` files reach the model directly instead of being silently dropped unless periodic tasks are declared; (4) race the initial stream-establishment promise inside `streamWithIdleTimeout` against the same watchdog timer that previously only guarded inter-token gaps, so SDK requests stuck at TCP/TLS handshake or before the first response byte no longer hang indefinitely (the stalled-session diagnostic's `recovery=none` case); (5) emit an `openclaw doctor` warning when `heartbeat.session` pins a session key that has no entry in the agent's session store, so silently-dropped heartbeat deliveries surface at config-validation time; (6) also route the commitment-only task dispatch path (tasks configured, none due) through `appendHeartbeatFileDirectives` so prose directives outside the `tasks:` block reach the model on this path as well; (7) wrap the synchronous `baseFn(...)` invocation inside `streamWithIdleTimeout` in a try/catch that clears the connect watchdog timer before rethrowing, so a provider stream function that throws during setup no longer leaves a live timer that can fire `onIdleTimeout` later with a stale error and keep the process open past the real failure. Thanks @zeroaltitude.
-- Matrix: stop running `npm install`/`pnpm install` at runtime from a parent-derived plugin path; missing Matrix runtime dependencies now fail with repair guidance instead of mutating the wrong `node_modules` tree. Fixes #80758. (#80876) Thanks @kinjitakabe.
-- Agents/memory-flush: surface non-abort memory-flush failures (provider timeout, transport error, generic agent failure) as visible reply payloads so the outer reply loop short-circuits and isolated cron runs propagate the error into `meta.error` instead of completing silently with `status: "ok"` and an empty payload. Previously only the specific "Memory flush writes are restricted to ..." message was surfaced. Fixes #80755. Thanks @nailujac.
-- Channels/loop-guard: enforce shared per-pair bot loop protection in the core channel-turn kernel, with Discord, Slack, Matrix, and Google Chat supplying bot-pair facts where they can reliably identify accepted bot-authored messages. The generic guard keys on `(scope, conversation, participant pair)`, suppresses every additional bot-to-bot event in either direction once a pair crosses the configured budget, and lifts suppression after `cooldownSeconds`. Defaults are `maxEventsPerWindow: 20`, `windowSeconds: 60`, and `cooldownSeconds: 60` whenever a channel lets bot-authored messages reach dispatch; they can be set globally via `channels.defaults.botLoopProtection` and overridden per channel/account or supported per-conversation config. Fixes #58789. Thanks @pandadev66.
-- Agents/memory-flush: surface non-abort memory-flush failures (provider timeout, transport error, generic agent failure) as visible reply payloads so the outer reply loop short-circuits and isolated cron runs propagate the error into `meta.error` instead of completing silently with `status: "ok"` and an empty payload. Previously only the specific "Memory flush writes are restricted to ..." message was surfaced. Refs #80755. Thanks @kinjitakabe and @nailujac.
-- Codex harness: use the active Codex runtime context window for OpenAI-selected budgeting, manual `/compact`, and `/status`, so stale OpenAI session metadata no longer overstates context limits. (#81906) thanks @jalehman.

-
-- Amazon Bedrock: externalize the Bedrock and Bedrock Mantle provider packages so core installs no longer pull AWS SDK dependencies unless those providers are installed.
-- Plugins: externalize Slack, OpenShell sandbox, and Anthropic Vertex so their runtime dependency cones install only when those plugins are installed.
-- Control UI/WebChat: add a persisted auto-scroll mode selector so users can keep the current near-bottom behavior, always follow streaming output, or turn automatic streaming scroll off and use the New messages button manually. Fixes #7648 and #81287. Thanks @BunsDev.
-- ACP: add `acp.fallbacks` so ACP turns can try configured backup runtime backends when the primary backend is unavailable before any output is emitted. (#69542) Thanks @kaseonedge.
 - Gateway/OpenAI HTTP: honor `max_completion_tokens` and `max_tokens` on inbound `/v1/chat/completions` requests so client-provided token caps reach the upstream provider via `streamParams.maxTokens`, with `max_completion_tokens` taking precedence when both are sent. Thanks @Lellansin.
 - Models/OpenAI CLI auth: make `openclaw models auth login --provider openai` start the ChatGPT/Codex account login by default, while `--method api-key` remains the explicit OpenAI API-key setup path.
 - Google/Gemini: normalize retired Gemini 3 Pro Preview ids inside explicit SDK OAuth auth-result config patches, so provider helpers emit `google/gemini-3.1-pro-preview` for Gemini 3.1 testing.

 - Build: pin explicit oxfmt defaults in the shared formatter config to keep formatting behavior stable across upgrades.
 - TypeScript: enable stricter compiler checks for implicit returns, side-effect imports, overrides, and unused production code.
 - Logging: add targeted model transport, payload, SSE, and code-mode diagnostics with redacted URL handling.
-- Agents/code mode: add opt-in generic QuickJS-WASI code mode that exposes `exec`/`wait` while hiding enabled tools behind a catalog bridge.
 - Agents: allow `session.agentToAgent.maxPingPongTurns` up to 20 while keeping the default at 5 for longer agent-to-agent reply chains. Fixes #52382. (#52400) Thanks @thirumaleshp.
 - Agents: add per-agent `tools.message.crossContext` overrides so sandboxed/public agents can restrict message sends to the current conversation without changing the global bot policy.

-- Plugins/ACPX: accept an optional `args` array in `agents.<name>` config so paths and flag values containing spaces stay intact when spawning ACP agent processes. Thanks @TheArchitectit and @BunsDev.
-- Agents: inject the current provider/model identity into system prompts, including configured prompt overrides and CLI hook prompt replacements, so agents can answer model-identity questions from the actual runtime selection.
-- Agents/subagents: add prompt-only `agents.defaults.subagents.delegationMode` and per-agent overrides with `suggest`/`prefer` modes, and centralize config-backed system prompt resolution across embedded, CLI, compaction, and command-export prompt surfaces.
-- Agents/subagents: add stronger delegation orchestration guidance, `sessions_yield` wait guidance, stable `taskName` aliases, and active-child runtime prompt context for spawned sub-agent work.
-- Plugins/CLI: add the optional bundled `oc-path` plugin, providing `openclaw path` for surgical `oc://` access to markdown, JSONC, and JSONL workspace files.
-- Plugins/SDK: add unified model catalog registration for text, image, video, and music providers, including `providerCatalogEntry` manifests, shared media list help, live catalog caching, and per-model video capability overlays.
-- Plugin SDK: add presentation helpers for controls-only interactive rendering and opt-in empty fallback text so rich channel renderers can share `MessagePresentation` semantics without duplicating native cards or components.
-- CLI: make parser, startup, config, guardrail, channel, agent, task, session, and MCP failures explain what happened and point to the next recovery command.
-- GitHub Copilot: refresh the model catalog from `${baseUrl}/models` so per-account entitlement and accurate context windows surface at runtime; static manifest catalog (now including `gpt-5.5`) remains the fallback when discovery is disabled or the API is unreachable.
-- Active Memory: support concrete `plugins.entries.active-memory.config.toolsAllow` recall tool names for custom memory plugins while keeping the built-in memory-core default on `memory_search`/`memory_get` and preserving `memory_recall` automatically for `plugins.slots.memory: "memory-lancedb"`.
-- Active Memory: report normal `NONE` recall decisions as `status=no_relevant_memory`, keep unavailable and failed recall paths distinct, and avoid caching no-summary recall results so ordinary no-context turns no longer look like broken `status=empty` memory. Fixes #79812. (#80015) Thanks @TurboTheTurtle.
-- Telegram: share the grammY API throttler across polling and ad hoc send clients for the same bot token, so visible draft previews and CLI sends use one quota gate. Thanks @anagnorisis2peripeteia.
-- Feishu: resolve group policy/tool context from the trusted chat target for group turns while keeping the speaker in `From`, so @mention replies do not drop the configured group id. Fixes #79457. Thanks @greyxiong.
-- Telegram/Feishu: honor configured per-agent and global `reasoningDefault` values when deciding whether channel reasoning previews should stream or stay hidden, addressing the preview-default part of #73182. Thanks @anagnorisis2peripeteia.
-- QQBot: mark recognized framework slash commands as text-command turns before reply dispatch so `/models`, `/status`, and `/new` responses stay visible in QQ Bot C2C conversations. Fixes #79310. Thanks @rollingshmily.
-- Docker: run the runtime image under `tini` so long-lived containers reap orphaned child processes and forward signals correctly. (#77885) Thanks @VintageAyu.
-- Logging/redaction: redact quoted HTTP client secret fields and auth/cookie headers in shared log and formatted error output. Related #71211 and #65623. (#75033) Thanks @liaoandi.
-- Gateway/SDK: document and stabilize the task ledger RPC surface for `tasks.list`, `tasks.get`, and `tasks.cancel`, including generated Swift model typing for optional task summaries. Thanks @BunsDev.
-- Google/Gemini: normalize retired `google/gemini-3-pro-preview` and `google-gemini-cli/gemini-3-pro-preview` selections to `google/gemini-3.1-pro-preview` before they are written to model config.
-- Google/Gemini: emit canonical `google/gemini-3.1-pro-preview` ids from configured provider catalog rows so model list and selection paths can test Gemini 3.1 instead of retired Gemini 3 Pro.
-- Google/Gemini: normalize nested proxy-provider catalog ids like `google/gemini-3-pro-preview` to `google/gemini-3.1-pro-preview`, so Kilo-style configured catalogs test Gemini 3.1 instead of the retired Gemini 3 Pro id.
-- Google/Gemini: canonicalize provider-onboarding model alias maps so setup flows preserve settings under `google/gemini-3.1-pro-preview` instead of re-emitting retired Gemini 3 Pro config keys.
-- Google/Gemini: canonicalize retired Gemini 3 Pro Preview ids inside Google dynamic model resolution so runtime clones also use `google/gemini-3.1-pro-preview`.
-- Google/Gemini: canonicalize provider-auth default model results before setup hooks and picker returns so auth flows do not re-emit retired `google/gemini-3-pro-preview` selections.
-- Amazon Bedrock: support `serviceTier` parameter for Bedrock models, configurable via `agents.defaults.params.serviceTier` or per-model in `agents.defaults.models`. Valid values: `default`, `flex`, `priority`, `reserved`. (#64512) Thanks @mobilinkd.
-- Control UI: read the Quick Settings exec policy badge from `tools.exec.security` instead of the non-schema `agents.defaults.exec.security` path, so configured `full`/`deny` values render accurately. Fixes #78311. Thanks @FriedBack.
-- Control UI/usage: add transcript-backed historical lineage rollups for rotated logical sessions, with current-instance vs historical-lineage scope controls and long-range presets so usage history stays visible after restarts and updates. Fixes #50701. Thanks @dev-gideon-llc and @BunsDev.
-- Agents/failover: harden state-aware lane suspension by persisting quota resume transitions, restoring configured lane concurrency, preserving non-quota failure reasons, and exporting model failover events through diagnostics OTLP. Thanks @BunsDev.
-- Control UI/Windows: add the SPA-side WebView2 bridge for native hosts so draft text can update the chat composer and the ready handshake is wired through the app lifecycle. (#69633) Thanks @AlexAlves87.
-- Channels/streaming: make progress draft labels scroll away with other progress lines, render structured tool rows as compact emoji/title/details, show web-search queries from provider-native argument shapes, and skip empty Discord apply-patch starts until a patch summary exists. (#79146)
-- Runtime/performance: avoid full-array sorting while auto-selecting providers, resolving supported thinking levels, picking node last-seen timestamps, and extracting Codex usage-limit messages. Thanks @shakkernerd.
-- Plugins/doctor: avoid full-array sorting while selecting ClawHub search/archive results and bounded dreaming doctor entries. Thanks @shakkernerd.
-- Agents/compaction: keep contributor diagnostics to a bounded top-three selection without sorting the full history. Thanks @shakkernerd.
-- Sessions/UI: avoid full-array sorting while selecting ACPX leases, Google Meet calendar events, and latest chat sessions. Thanks @shakkernerd.
-- Plugin SDK: mark direct `deliverOutboundPayloads` and legacy reply-dispatch bridges as deprecated compatibility substrate, enrich `sendDurableMessageBatch` with explicit durable send outcomes, migrate bundled send/turn paths off deprecated APIs, and enforce the split with `check:deprecated-api-usage`.
-- OpenAI/Talk: let browser realtime Talk, Gateway relay/Voice Call realtime bridges, and OpenAI realtime transcription use `openai-codex` OAuth when no direct API key is configured, make Google Meet `test_speech` honor `mode: "bidi"`, expose Control UI launch options for provider/model/voice/transport/VAD/reasoning, and update the default OpenAI realtime voice model to `gpt-realtime-2`. Thanks @Solvely-Colin.
-- Telegram: preserve the channel-specific 10-option poll cap in the unified outbound adapter so over-limit polls are rejected before send. (#78762) Thanks @obviyus.
-- Telegram/streaming: continue over-limit draft previews in a new message instead of stopping when rendered preview text crosses Telegram's message limit. (#74508) Thanks @anagnorisis2peripeteia.
-- Slack: route handled top-level channel turns in implicit-conversation channels to thread-scoped sessions when Slack reply threading is enabled, keeping the root turn and later thread replies on one OpenClaw session. (#78522) Thanks @zeroth-blip.
-- Telegram: re-probe the primary fetch transport after repeated sticky fallback success so transient IPv4 or pinned-IP fallback promotion can recover without a gateway restart. Fixes #77088. (#77157) Thanks @MkDev11.
-- Agents/harness: skip tool-result middleware validation when no handler is registered, and sanitize incoming tool result `details` (functions, symbols, bigints, cycles, oversized payloads) before middleware sees them. Tool emitters legitimately produce raw dependency payloads on `details`, and the harness owes any registered middleware a JSON-safe view of that payload; otherwise a no-op middleware (e.g. bundled `tokenjuice` on the `pi` runtime) causes the validator to reject every tool result and silently substitute a failure sentinel, dropping outbound Discord messages, exec output, cron results, and any other tool whose payload carries non-serializable values. Thanks @solomonneas.
-- Runtime/install: raise the supported Node 22 floor to `22.16+` so native SQLite query handling can rely on the `node:sqlite` statement metadata API while continuing to recommend Node 24. (#78921)
-- Discord/voice: make duplicate same-guild auto-join entries resolve to the last configured channel so moving an agent between voice channels does not keep joining the stale channel.
-- Discord/voice: add realtime `/vc` modes so Discord voice channels can run as STT/TTS, a realtime talk buffer with the OpenClaw agent brain, or a bidi realtime session with `openclaw_agent_consult`.
-- Discord/voice: add bounded realtime gateway logs for voice channel joins, realtime model/voice selection, transcripts, consult routing/answers, and playback start, allow OpenAI realtime Discord sessions to disable input-triggered response interruption for echo-heavy rooms while keeping explicit Discord barge-in available for new and already-active speakers, and allow voice turns to target an existing Discord channel agent session.
-- Discord/voice: add `voice.realtime.minBargeInAudioEndMs` and let the realtime provider own playback clearing, so speaker echo no longer cuts OpenAI realtime model audio at `audioEndMs=0` while low-echo rooms can opt back into immediate barge-in with `0`.
-- Discord/voice: make `agent-proxy` the default voice mode so realtime voice acts as the microphone/speaker extension of the routed OpenClaw agent session, with `stt-tts` remaining available as an explicit fallback.
-- Discord/voice: route default `agent-proxy` realtime turns through the OpenClaw consult handoff with owner-level tool access and a forced-consult transcript fallback, matching the Codex-style voice front end while keeping the routed agent authoritative.
-- Discord/voice: keep OpenAI realtime bidi consults quiet while the supervisor agent is still working, accept Codex-style `conversation.item.done` function-call events, and preserve continuing tool results through the gateway relay so the OpenAI realtime bridge reliably routes consults before speaking the final answer.
-- Discord/voice: include a bounded one-line STT transcript preview in verbose voice logs so live voice debugging shows what speakers said before the agent reply.
-- Codex app-server: pin the managed Codex harness and Codex CLI smoke package to `@openai/codex@0.129.0`, defer OpenClaw integration dynamic tools behind Codex tool search by default, and accept current Codex service-tier values so legacy `fast` settings survive the stable harness upgrade as `priority`.
-- Codex app-server: annotate message-tool-only direct chat turns in the dynamic `message` tool spec so visible replies are sent through `message(action="send")` instead of staying private. (#79704)
-- Agents/PI: route explicit OpenAI Codex Responses runs through PI's native WebSocket-capable transport and remove OpenClaw's custom OpenAI Responses WebSocket stack while preserving auth injection, run abort signals, and prompt cache boundary stripping.
-- Models/config: allow `compat.thinkingFormat` values `qwen` and `qwen-chat-template` for configured OpenAI-compatible Qwen models, preserving them through catalog normalization and mapping `/think` levels to `enable_thinking` or `chat_template_kwargs.enable_thinking`. Fixes #79677. (#79777) Thanks @indulgeback.
-- Codex app-server: default implicit local stdio app-server permissions to guardian when Codex system requirements disallow the YOLO approval, reviewer, or sandbox value, including hostname-scoped remote sandbox entries, avoiding turn-start failures on managed hosts that permit only reviewed approval or narrower sandboxes.
-- Plugins/install: run managed npm-root install, uninstall, prune, and repair commands from the managed root without a redundant `--prefix .`, avoiding npm 10.9.3 Arborist crashes on native Windows WhatsApp plugin installs. Fixes #78514. (#78902) Thanks @melihselamett-stack.
-- Config/schema/Windows: detect direct execution of the base config schema generator with `pathToFileURL` so Windows paths with backslashes still run the `--check` and `--write` command body. (#52989) Thanks @easyteacher.
-- Discord/voice: stream ElevenLabs TTS directly into Discord playback and send ElevenLabs latency optimization as the documented query parameter so spoken replies can start sooner.
-- Discord/voice: keep TTS playback running when another user starts speaking, ignore new capture during playback to avoid feedback loops, and downgrade expected receive-stream aborts to verbose diagnostics.
-- iMessage: expose native private-API message actions through `imsg rpc` for reactions, edits, unsends, replies, rich sends, attachments, and group management when `imsg status --json` reports the required bridge capabilities.
-- Gateway/tasks: reconcile stale CLI run-context tasks whose live run context disappeared even when a child session row remains, and apply the default bounded reload deferral timeout to channel hot reloads so stale task records cannot block Discord/Slack/Telegram reloads forever.
-- Gateway/heartbeat: keep stripped `HEARTBEAT_OK` acknowledgements out of pending final-delivery replay and let recent ack-only pending state proceed to the next heartbeat run instead of creating a self-refreshing requests-in-flight loop. Fixes #79258. Thanks @haumanto.
-- Gateway/sessions: keep session-store index writes atomic while skipping durable fsync inside the writer lock, reducing cron and channel-turn starvation on slow filesystems and addressing the session-store strand of #73655. Thanks @mmartoccia.
-- Discord/voice: make `openclaw channels capabilities --channel discord --target channel:<id>` and `channels status --probe` audit voice-channel permissions, including auto-join targets, so missing Connect/Speak/Read Message History permissions show up before `/vc join`.
-- Gateway/restart: expose `skipDeferral` on the `gateway.restart.request` RPC and add `openclaw gateway restart --safe --skip-deferral` so operators can bypass the safe-restart deferral gate when a pinned task run prevents the OpenClaw-aware restart from draining. Surfaces the existing internal `scheduleGatewaySigusr1Restart({ skipDeferral })` semantics added in #71637 to a public surface, complementing `gateway.reload.deferralTimeoutMs`. Refs #76162. Thanks @solomonneas.
-- Discord/streaming: default Discord replies to progress draft previews so tool/work activity appears in one edited Discord message unless `channels.discord.streaming.mode` is set to `off`.
-- OpenAI/realtime: default realtime voice to `gpt-realtime-2`, use the GA Realtime WebSocket session shape for backend OpenAI bridges, and cover backend, WebRTC, Google Live, and Gateway relay paths in the live Talk smoke. (#79130)
-- Update/Windows: spawn the post-core-update child process with `stdio:"pipe"` on Windows so PowerShell/CMD console handles are not inherited, preventing the terminal from hanging after `openclaw update` completes. Fixes #78445. (#78483) Thanks @Beandon13.
-- 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.
-- Channels/plugins: show configured official external channels as missing-plugin status rows and send errors with exact install/doctor repair commands after raw package-manager upgrades leave Feishu or WhatsApp uninstalled. Fixes #78702 and #78593. Thanks @MarkMa84 and @mkupiainen.
-- Matrix: move the Matrix channel back to an official external ClawHub/npm plugin so core installs no longer need Matrix SDK runtime dependencies.
-- Matrix: attach `com.openclaw.presentation` metadata to semantic presentation replies so OpenClaw-aware Matrix clients can render rich buttons, selects, context rows, and dividers while stock clients keep the plain text fallback. (#73312) Thanks @kakahu2015.
-- Codex app-server: disarm the short post-tool completion watchdog after current-turn activity, expose `appServer.turnCompletionIdleTimeoutMs`, and include raw assistant item context in idle-timeout diagnostics so status-only post-tool stalls stop failing as idle. Fixes #77984. Thanks @roseware-dev and @rubencu.
-- Codex app-server: release the session lane after a completed assistant message item goes quiet without `turn/completed`, and stop global rate-limit notifications from keeping stuck turns alive.
-- 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.
-- Process tool: show input-wait hints from `log` and `poll` for idle interactive background sessions so operators can inspect stuck CLIs and resume them with existing input actions. Fixes #33957. Thanks @bitloi and @vincentkoc.
-- Shell env/Windows: hide the login-shell environment probe child window so gateway startup and shell-env refreshes do not flash a console on Windows. Fixes #78159. (#78266) Thanks @BradGroux.
-- 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.
-- Windows/restart: skip duplicate scheduled-task `/Run` calls when the gateway task is already running, using a locale-stable PowerShell task-state probe before retrying. Fixes #52044. (#52487) Thanks @andyk-ms.
-- Media/host-read: allow buffer-verified ZIP archives in the host-local media validator so agents can send ZIP attachments via the message tool. Fixes #78057. (#78292) Thanks @Linux2010.
-- 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.
-- Contributor PRs: remind external contributors to redact private information like IP addresses, API keys, phone numbers, and non-public endpoints from real behavior proof. Thanks @pashpashpash.
-- ACP bridge: relay Gateway exec approval prompts from active ACP turns to the ACP client's `session/request_permission` handler before resolving the Gateway approval. Thanks @amknight.
-- Codex/plugins: enable migrated source-installed `openai-curated` Codex plugins in the same Codex harness thread with explicit `codexPlugins` config, cached app readiness, and fail-closed destructive-action policy. Thanks @kevinslin.
-- Codex/plugins: enforce native plugin destructive-action policy with Codex app-level `destructive_enabled` config instead of OpenClaw-maintained per-tool deny lists, leave plugin app `open_world_enabled` on by default, and invalidate existing plugin app thread bindings so old generated app config is rebuilt. Thanks @kevinslin.
-- QQBot/Skills: translate QQBot skill descriptions surfaced in the Skills UI so English-language users no longer see Chinese metadata. Fixes #77810. Thanks @eabase.
-- Image generation: include enabled generation providers such as fal in provider discovery even when another image provider is already active. Fixes #78141. Thanks @leoge007.
-- Slack: keep Socket Mode's native reconnect enabled so transient ping/pong misses can recover without forcing a full provider rebuild. Fixes #77933. Thanks @bmoran1022 and @brokemac79.
-- Cron: preserve cron timeout results when an isolated agent turn's `cron-nested` lane watchdog fires, preventing internal command-lane or model-fallback timeout text from being persisted. Fixes #77703. (#78168) Thanks @brokemac79 and @transxtech.
-- 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.
-- ACPX/Codex: preserve trusted Codex project declarations when launching isolated Codex ACP sessions, avoiding interactive trust prompts in headless runs. Thanks @Stedyclaw.
-- ACPX/Codex: reap stale OpenClaw-owned ACPX/Codex ACP process trees on startup and after ACP session close, preventing orphaned harness processes from slowing the Gateway. Thanks @91wan.
-- ACP bridge: implement stable session list, resume, and close handlers so ACP clients can page Gateway sessions, rebind existing sessions without replay, and close bridge sessions cleanly. Thanks @amknight.
-- ACP bridge: replay complete ledger-backed ACP sessions on load, including user prompts, tool updates, session metadata, and usage snapshots, while keeping older sessions on the existing transcript fallback. Thanks @amknight.
-- ACP sessions: allow parent agents to inspect and message their own spawned cross-agent ACP sessions without enabling broad agent-to-agent visibility. Thanks @barronlroth.
-- 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.
-- Logging/Talk: route shared Talk lifecycle events into bounded file and OTLP log records while keeping transcript text, audio payloads, turn ids, call ids, and provider item ids out of logs.
-- 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.
-- 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.
-- Telegram/performance: skip non-forum topic-cache setup, defer status reaction variant work until reactions are needed, and reuse ack reaction gating during message context assembly. Thanks @vincentkoc.
-- Telegram/performance: reduce command-menu CPU and allocation work when many native, plugin, and custom commands are registered. (#79717) Thanks @drsolveit.
-- CLI/migrate: add bulk on/off and skip controls to interactive Codex skill migration, leaving conflicting skill copies unchecked by default. (#77597) Thanks @kevinslin.
-- CLI/migrate: show native Codex plugin names before truncated plan items and prompt for plugin activation explicitly during interactive Codex migration instead of silently keeping every planned plugin. Thanks @kevinslin.
-- CLI/migrate: leave already configured target Codex plugins unchecked in the interactive plugin selector and show a `plugin exists` conflict hint while keeping new plugin activations selected by default. Thanks @kevinslin.
-- CLI/migrate: return cleanly without apply confirmation when interactive Codex migration leaves both skill copies and native plugin activations unselected. Thanks @kevinslin.
-- Gateway/sessions: extend the per-call sessions-list `rowContext` cache with memoization for `resolveSessionDisplayModelIdentityRef`, thinking metadata, and `resolveModelCostConfig` so deterministic per-row resolvers run once per unique `(provider, model[, agentId])` tuple instead of once per session. Cuts CPU on `sessions.list` for stores with many sessions sharing a small set of model tuples; behavior is unchanged for callers that pass no `rowContext`. Thanks @rolandrscheel.
-- 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.
-- Slack/performance: reduce message preparation, stream recipient lookup, and thread-context allocation overhead on Slack reply hot paths. Thanks @vincentkoc.
-- Control UI/chat: strip untrusted sender metadata from live streams and transcript display, preserve canvas preview anchors, and stop operator UI clients from injecting their internal client id as sender identity. Fixes #78739. Thanks @tmimmanuel, @guguangxin-eng, @hclsys, and @BunsDev.
-- 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.
-- Control UI/chat and Sessions: label inherited thinking defaults separately from explicit overrides while preserving provider-supplied option labels. Fixes #77581. Thanks @BunsDev and @Beandon13.
-- Agents/runtime: add prepared runtime foundation contracts for carrying provider, model, tool, TTS, and outbound runtime facts through later reply-path migrations. Thanks @mcaxtr.
-- Control UI/WhatsApp: keep Show QR available for unlinked WhatsApp accounts while switching linked accounts to the explicit Relink action and showing Wait for scan only when a QR is active. Thanks @BunsDev.
-- Gateway/performance: reuse the compatible plugin metadata snapshot across dashboard and channel agent turns so auto-enabled runtime config does not repeatedly rescan plugin metadata before provider calls. Thanks @shakkernerd.
-- Gateway/performance: reuse current plugin metadata for provider activation, auth/env candidate lookup, and bundle settings during dashboard and channel agent turns while keeping the configless secret-target cache unscoped and refusing stale unscoped reuse when plugin discovery roots differ. Thanks @shakkernerd.
-- Gateway/performance: avoid resolving plugin auto-enable metadata twice in one runtime config pass, reducing repeated dashboard turn metadata scans. Thanks @shakkernerd.
-- Control UI/performance: pre-scope config tab schemas before rendering, load Channels with cached/runtime status before manual probes, preserve channel rows through failed status summaries, and keep stale slow probes from replacing newer snapshots. Thanks @BunsDev.
-- Auth/providers: pass `config` and `workspaceDir` lookup context through to provider-id resolution so workspace-scoped auth aliases resolve correctly when no explicit alias map is supplied. Thanks @shakkernerd.
-- Gateway/diagnostics: add startup phase spans, active work labels, stale terminal bridge markers, and opt-in sync-I/O tracing in `pnpm gateway:watch` so slow Gateway turns are easier to attribute from logs and stability diagnostics.
-- QA/Mantis: add an opt-in Discord thread attachment before/after scenario that creates a real thread, calls `message.thread-reply` with `filePath`, and captures baseline/candidate screenshot evidence.
-- Discord: preserve `filePath` and `path` attachments when replying to a thread with the message tool.
-- 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/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.
-- CI/Crabbox: default owned AWS fallback to `standard` multi-region capacity with broker hints enabled, reserving `beast` for explicit CPU-bound maintainer lanes.
-- 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.
-- 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.
-- 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: route browser, media, channel, and QA external output producers through staged fs-safe writes before final publication. (#78768)
-- 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.
-- Core/performance: trim reply payload routing, heartbeat filtering, tool display, core tool assembly, channel directory, task status, and Slack approval formatting helper chains with direct bounded scans. Thanks @vincentkoc.
-- Control UI/performance: keep chat, config, and channel refreshes responsive by decoupling slow history/schema/status work, reducing the client history window, and logging over-budget chat/config renders. Refs #77060, #45698, #47979, #44107. Thanks @BunsDev.
-- 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.
-- Plugin SDK/Gateway: add scoped `plugins.sessionAction` dispatch and plugin-attributed `emitAgentEvent` support so plugins can expose typed session actions and workflow events to trusted clients. (#75578; replaces part of #73384/#74483) Thanks @100yenadmin.
-- Plugins/SDK: expose host-derived tool target paths to `before_tool_call` and trusted policy hooks so workflow plugins can reason about known file targets without reparsing tool envelopes. (#75605) Thanks @100yenadmin.
-- Control UI/WebChat: show a persistent compact context usage indicator from fresh session token data before the high-pressure warning state, while keeping the existing compaction prompt threshold. Fixes #46398; refs #45048, #50071, and #73744. Thanks @walterwkchoy, @AxelrodAI, @Brissux, @vincentkoc, and @BunsDev.
-- 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.
-- Plugins/hooks: add a `before_agent_run` pass/block gate that can stop a user prompt before model submission while preserving a redacted transcript entry for the user, and clarify that raw conversation hooks require `hooks.allowConversationAccess=true`. (#75035) Thanks @jesse-merhi.
-- Config/Nix: keep startup-derived plugin enablement, gateway auth tokens, control UI origins, and owner-display secrets runtime-only instead of rewriting `openclaw.json`; in Nix mode, config writers, mutating `openclaw update`, plugin lifecycle mutators, and doctor repair/token-generation now refuse with agent-first nix-openclaw guidance. (#78047) Thanks @joshp123.
-- Plugin SDK: add a generic `api.runtime.llm.complete` host completion helper with runtime-derived caller attribution, config-gated model/agent overrides, session-bound context-engine access, request-scoped config, audit metadata, and normalized usage attribution. (#64294) Thanks @DaevMithran.
-- Control UI/exec approvals: highlight parsed shell command fragments that may deserve extra review in approval prompts. (#77153) Thanks @jesse-merhi.
-- Channels/iMessage: honor `channels.imessage.groups.<chat_id>.systemPrompt` (and the `groups["*"]` wildcard) by forwarding it as `GroupSystemPrompt` on inbound group turns, mirroring the byte-identical resolver semantic from WhatsApp where defining the key as an empty string on a specific group suppresses the wildcard fallback. Brings iMessage to parity with the per-group `systemPrompt` pattern already supported by Discord, Telegram, IRC, Slack, GoogleChat, and the retired BlueBubbles channel. Fixes #78285. (#79383) Thanks @omarshahine.
-- iMessage: add opt-in inbound catchup that replays messages received while the gateway was offline (crash, restart, mac sleep) on next startup. Enable with `channels.imessage.catchup.enabled: true`; tunables for `maxAgeMinutes`, `perRunLimit`, `firstRunLookbackMinutes`, and `maxFailureRetries`. Persists a per-account cursor under the OpenClaw state dir (`<openclawStateDir>/imessage/catchup/`), replays each row through the live dispatch path so allowlists/group policy/dedupe behave identically on replayed and live messages, and force-advances past wedged guids after `maxFailureRetries` to prevent stuck cursors. Extends the persisted echo-cache retention window so the agent's own outbound rows from before a gap are not re-fed as inbound on replay. Includes a regenerated `src/config/bundled-channel-config-metadata.generated.ts` so the runtime AJV schema accepts the new `channels.imessage.catchup` block. Fixes #78649. (#79387) Thanks @omarshahine.
-- Channels/Yuanbao: bump the bundled `openclaw-plugin-yuanbao` npm spec from `2.11.0` to `2.13.0` in the official external channel catalog and refresh the pinned integrity hash, so fresh installs and catalog-driven reinstalls pick up the newer Yuanbao channel plugin release. (#79620) Thanks @loongfay.
-- Gateway/OpenAI-compatible Chat Completions: support function `tools`, `tool_choice`, `tool_calls`, and `role: "tool"` follow-up turns while keeping tool-call stream finalization aligned with the command result and reporting client-tool name conflicts as invalid requests. (#66278) Thanks @Lellansin.
-- Providers/Mistral: add `mistral-medium-3-5` to the bundled catalog with reasoning support. Thanks @sliekens.
-- Docs/Mistral: document Medium 3.5 setup, local infer smoke usage, adjustable reasoning, and the Mistral HTTP 400 caveat for `reasoning_effort="high"` with `temperature: 0`.
-
-### Breaking
-
-- Channels/iMessage: remove the bundled BlueBubbles channel surface and deprecate BlueBubbles-backed iMessage setup in OpenClaw. Existing `channels.bluebubbles` configs must migrate to `channels.imessage` using `imsg` on a signed-in Mac or an SSH wrapper, and non-macOS default `imsg` configs now report remote-Mac wrapper guidance.
+- Gateway: expose optional `isHeartbeat` metadata on agent event payloads so clients can distinguish scheduled heartbeat runs from ordinary chat runs. (#80610) Thanks @medns.
+- Agents: add `agents.defaults.runRetries` and `agents.list[].runRetries` config for embedded Pi runner retry loop limits. (#80661) Thanks @medns.
 
 ### Fixes
 
-- Doctor/Codex: stop warning that the message tool is unavailable for source-reply paths where OpenClaw grants `message` at runtime, keeping update and doctor output aligned with the OpenAI happy path. Thanks @pashpashpash.
-- Channels/Weixin: bump the external Weixin catalog entry to `@tencent-weixin/openclaw-weixin@2.4.3` with the matching package integrity. (#81730) Thanks @scotthuang.
-- Agents/subagents: apply `agents.defaults.subagents.model` before target agent primary models during `sessions_spawn`, so model-scoped runtimes such as `claude-cli` stay attached to default child runs. Fixes #81395. (#81783) Thanks @joshavant.
-- Telegram: keep Bot API polling alive during main event-loop stalls by moving ingress to an isolated worker with a durable local spool. Fixes #81132. (#81746) Thanks @joshavant.
-- Telegram: preserve rendered HTML formatting through lazy cron announce delivery so Markdown links stay clickable instead of falling back to literal anchor tags. Fixes #81742. (#81758)
-- Telegram: skip unmentioned group media before download when `requireMention` is active, avoiding failed media-download replies for messages that should be ignored. Fixes #81181. (#81785) Thanks @joshavant.
-- CLI/plugins: keep bare plugin and parent-command help on the lightweight path, avoiding plugin registry discovery before rendering help.
-- Gateway/session history: carry monotonic transcript message sequence through live updates and refresh SSE history when stale sequence input would otherwise append bad incremental state. (#81474) Thanks @samzong.
-- Security/sandbox: include Windows `USERPROFILE` in the sandbox blocked home roots so credential-bearing binds (such as `.codex`, `.openclaw`, or `.ssh` under the Windows user profile) are denied even when `HOME` points at a different shell home. (#63074) Thanks @luoyanglang.
-- Models config/auth: stop inferring provider env-var markers from broad `^[A-Z_][A-Z0-9_]*$` strings, and resolve config-backed provider `apiKey` values only through structured env SecretRefs (`secrets.providers[id]` / `secrets.defaults`), so unrelated env vars cannot accidentally become provider credentials. Thanks @sallyom.
-- Media fetch: skip allocating and buffering the response body for bodyless media responses (HEAD probes and 204-style empty bodies), avoiding wasted heap on streams that carry no payload. Thanks @shakkernerd.
-- CLI/onboarding: forward provider-specific auth flags (e.g. `--openai-api-key`) through the onboarding wizard so they reach provider auth methods via `ctx.opts`, letting `--openai-api-key "$OPENAI_API_KEY"` skip the redundant "use existing env var?" prompt in non-interactive harnesses. (#81669) Thanks @sjf.
-- CLI/migrate: drop trailing periods from Codex migrate item messages and `REASON_CODE_MESSAGES` strings so plan/result rows read as labels instead of sentence fragments. (#81705) Thanks @sjf.
-- Slack: treat malformed private-file redirect `Location` headers as unfollowable redirects instead of failing Slack media downloads.
-- Plugins: discover provider plugins from `setup.providers[].envVars` credentials during provider discovery while keeping the deprecated `providerAuthEnvVars` fallback. (#81542) Thanks @JARVIS-Glasses.
-- Docs/Codex harness: clarify that per-agent `CODEX_HOME` isolates `~/.codex` while inherited `HOME` intentionally keeps `.agents` discovery and subprocess user-home state available.
-- Auth: reclaim dead-owner stale file locks before retrying locked writes, so crashed OAuth refreshes no longer wedge `auth-profiles.json` until manual cleanup.
-- CLI tables: preserve muted/color styling on wrapped continuation lines after multiline cells, keeping `openclaw plugins list` descriptions readable.
-- Process execution: collapse case-insensitive duplicate child environment keys on Windows so caller-provided overrides such as `PATH` cannot be shadowed by host `Path`.
-- Gateway/diagnostics: suppress cold-start liveness warnings during the startup grace window while still sampling liveness metrics. Fixes #79915. (#81699) Thanks @joshavant.
-- Codex harness: keep `oauthRef`-backed Codex OAuth profiles usable and stop high-confidence app-server OAuth refresh invalidation from retry-spamming raw token-refresh errors without turning entitlement or usage-limit payloads into re-auth prompts.
-- Browser CLI: request the existing `operator.admin` gateway scope explicitly for browser control commands, avoiding unnecessary scope-upgrade approval loops. Fixes #81555. (#81716) Thanks @joshavant.
-- Plugin SDK: restore the deprecated `openclaw/plugin-sdk/memory-core` package subpath as an alias of `memory-host-core`, so published memory companion plugins that still import it resolve on current hosts.
-- Control UI/i18n: use the installed workspace pi runtime for locale refreshes, update the fallback package pin, prefer the Anthropic CI provider when available, and skip invalid provider credentials instead of failing main.
-- Codex harness: classify native app-server token-refresh logout and relogin failures as authentication refresh errors, so users get re-authentication guidance instead of a raw runtime failure.
-- Codex startup: treat selectable configured OpenAI agent models as Codex runtime requirements during plugin auto-enable, startup planning, and doctor install repair, so Anthropic-primary configs can still switch to OpenAI/Codex cleanly.
-- Agents: preserve source-reply delivery metadata when merging tool-returned media into the final reply, keeping message-tool-only replies deliverable and mirrored. Thanks @pashpashpash and @vincentkoc.
-- Replies: treat rich presentation, interactive controls, and channel-native payload data as outbound content across follow-up, heartbeat, cron, ACP, and block-streaming delivery paths, preventing card/button-only replies from being dropped as empty.
-- WebChat/TUI: route Codex `tools.message` source replies to the active internal UI turn and mirror them to session history, so message-tool-only harness replies, including rich presentation and button-only replies, no longer disappear while WebChat and TUI remain non-targetable outbound channels. (#81586) Thanks @pashpashpash.
-- Replies: deliver rich-only block replies even when block-streaming coalescing is enabled, keeping card and button payloads from being dropped by the text coalescer. Thanks @pashpashpash.
-- macOS/companion: require system TLS trust before pinning a first-use direct `wss://` gateway certificate and honor `gateway.remote.tlsFingerprint` as the explicit pin for remote node-mode sessions, so fresh endpoints fail closed when macOS cannot trust the certificate unless configured out of band. Fixes #50642. Thanks @BunsDev.
-- Update: snapshot config before update-time repair and restart writes, preserve plugin install records through doctor cleanup, and keep update-time config size drops from blocking the update while pointing users to the pre-update backup. Fixes #80077. (#80257) Thanks @Jerry-Xin and @vincentkoc.
-- Sessions/status: classify ACP spawn-child sessions as `kind: "spawn-child"` instead of `"direct"` in `openclaw sessions` and status output; extract the duplicated session-kind classifier into a shared helper (`src/sessions/classify-session-kind.ts`) so both surfaces stay in sync. Fixes catalog #19. (#79544)
-- Sessions/Gateway: report `agentRuntime.id: "acpx"` (or stored backend id) with `source: "session-key"` for ACP control-plane session rows in `openclaw sessions --json`, `openclaw status`, and Gateway session RPC responses instead of the incorrect `"auto"` / `"pi"` implicit fallback. Fixes catalog #18. (#79550)
-- Telegram: delete tool-progress-only draft bubbles before rotating to the real answer, preventing orphaned progress messages in streamed replies.
-- Codex app-server: keep per-agent `CODEX_HOME` isolation without rewriting `HOME` by default, so Codex-run subprocesses can still find normal user-home config, tokens, and CLI state unless the launch explicitly overrides `HOME`. Thanks @pashpashpash.
-- iMessage: stop sending visible `<media:image>` placeholder text for media-only native image sends while preserving the internal echo key that prevents self-echo duplicate replies. (#81209) Thanks @homer-byte.
-- Agents/sessions: create configured agent main sessions before first `sessions_send` or gateway send, so agent-to-agent messages no longer fail when the target agent has not started yet.
-- gateway: pass Talk session scope to resolver [AI]. (#81379) Thanks @pgondhi987.
-- Gateway protocol: require v4 clients and stream explicit chat `deltaText`/`replace` frames so SDK clients can consume assistant updates without local diffing. (#80725) Thanks @samzong.
-- GitHub Copilot: exchange OAuth tokens for Copilot API tokens on image understanding requests and route Gemini image payloads through Chat Completions, fixing Copilot Gemini image descriptions. (#80393, #80442) Thanks @afunnyhy.
-- Gateway: hide pending Node pairing commands, capabilities, and permissions until approval, and refresh the live approved surface when pairings change. (#80741) Thanks @samzong.
-- Plugins/Feishu/WhatsApp/Line: enforce inbound media size caps while reading download streams, avoiding full buffering of oversized attachments. (#81044, #81050) Thanks @samzong.
-- Plugins/install: limit install-time code safety scans to plugin-owned runtime entrypoints while keeping dependency manifest denylist checks, so trusted packages with large dependency trees no longer get blocked or warned on third-party runtime internals.
-- Config: serialize and retry semantic config mutations centrally, so concurrent commands can rebase safe changes instead of clobbering or hand-rolling command-local retry loops. (#76601)
-- Installer: honor `--no-git-update` for existing git checkouts before resolving release refs, preventing pinned source installs from moving during reinstall.
-- Plugins/install: refresh OpenClaw-managed peer dependency pins when installed plugin peer ranges change, while preserving user-owned dependency pins.
-- Require approval for setup-code device pairing [AI]. (#81292) Thanks @pgondhi987.
-- Plugins/install: preserve third-party peer dependencies in the managed npm root when later plugin installs or updates recalculate the shared dependency tree. Thanks @shakkernerd.
-- Plugins/memory: prefer the npm-installed memory-lancedb plugin over the bundled fallback during duplicate resolution, keeping Active Memory's `memory_recall` tool visible after managed installs. Fixes #81193. Thanks @julio-arcila.
-- Plugins/uninstall: prune managed third-party peer dependencies after their owning npm plugin is removed, without blocking plugin cleanup on peer-prune failures.
-- Docker: pin setup-time container paths so stale host `.env` OpenClaw paths cannot leak into Linux containers. Fixes #80381. (#81105) Thanks @brokemac79.
-- Channels/WeCom: refresh the official onboarding install to `@wecom/wecom-openclaw-plugin@2026.5.7` and update existing managed npm installs instead of failing on the package directory. Fixes #79884. (#80390) Thanks @brokemac79.
-- Anthropic: reseed Claude CLI fresh-session retries from bounded OpenClaw transcript history after session rotation, preventing conversation amnesia. Fixes #80905. (#80934) Thanks @bitloi.
-- Require explicit browser device pairing [AI]. (#81289) Thanks @pgondhi987.
-- Require Control UI pairing before proxy-scoped access [AI]. (#81288) Thanks @pgondhi987.
-- Installer: honor `--version` for git installs and install from the checked-in lockfile, preventing recent dependency pins from tripping pnpm's minimum-release-age gate during tag installs.
-- Agents: deliver same-process subagent completion handoffs through the in-process agent dispatcher instead of opening a Gateway RPC loopback.
-- Harden trusted-proxy source validation [AI]. (#81290) Thanks @pgondhi987.
-- Agents: add permissive item schemas to array tool parameters before provider submission, preventing OpenAI-compatible schema validation from rejecting plugin tools that omit `items`. Fixes #81175. (#81217) Thanks @JARVIS-Glasses.
-- Agents: escalate LLM idle watchdog timeouts through profile rotation and configured model fallback instead of leaving agent turns stuck after a silent model stream. Fixes #76877. (#80449) Thanks @jimdawdy-hub.
-- Discord voice: treat OpenAI Realtime startup auth failures as fatal, suppress duplicate realtime error logs, and stop autoJoin from retrying the same broken voice channel until credentials are fixed.
-- ACPX: stop forwarding unsupported timeout config options to Claude ACP while preserving OpenClaw's own turn timeout. (#80812) Thanks @sxxtony.
-- Session transcripts: redact sensitive message content in the centralized JSONL append path so CLI turns, gateway transcript injection, transcript mirrors, and guarded tool results use the same configured redaction behavior. Fixes #73565. Refs #73563. (#79645) Thanks @Ziy1-Tan.
-- Channels/iMessage: ignore Apple link-preview plugin payload attachments when users paste URLs, keeping the URL text while avoiding phantom media context. (#79374) Thanks @homer-byte.
-- Telegram: detect polling stalls from `getUpdates` liveness only, so outbound API calls no longer mask dead inbound polling; log polling-cycle starts after transport rebuilds. Fixes #78473.
-- fix: scan plugin runtime entries during install [AI]. (#80998) Thanks @pgondhi987.
-- fix(plugins): scan installed dependency runtime code [AI]. (#81066) Thanks @pgondhi987.
-- Inherit tool restrictions for delegated sessions [AI]. (#80979) Thanks @pgondhi987.
-- Telegram: discard legacy long-poll update offsets that cannot be tied to the current bot token, so token rotation no longer leaves bots silently skipping new messages. (#80671) Thanks @sxxtony.
-- browser: enforce navigation checks for act interactions [AI]. (#81070) Thanks @pgondhi987.
-- Validate node exec event provenance [AI]. (#81071) Thanks @pgondhi987.
-- Gateway: keep active reply runs visible to stuck-session diagnostics and clear no-active-work recovery state, preventing stale queued lanes after compaction or tool failures. Fixes #80677. (#81302)
-- Codex app-server: rotate incompatible context-engine-managed native threads so Lossless-managed sessions do not resume stale hidden Codex history. (#81223) Thanks @jalehman.
-- Codex cron: execute scheduled command-style automation payloads before workspace bootstrap or memory review, preserving existing isolated cron jobs after Codex harness migration. (#81510) Thanks @jalehman.
-- Plugin LLM completions: honor Codex agent-runtime policy for canonical OpenAI model refs, so context-engine summarizers can use Codex OAuth instead of requiring direct `OPENAI_API_KEY` auth. (#81511) Thanks @jalehman.
-- Gateway/OpenAI HTTP: return OpenAI-compatible 400 errors for invalid sampling params and provider validation failures instead of collapsing them to 500s. (#81275) Thanks @Lellansin.
-- Telegram: publish plugin and skill command description localizations to native command menus while filtering unsupported locale codes and preserving Telegram command limits. (#81351) Thanks @jzakirov.
-- Limit hook CLI tool authority [AI]. (#81065) Thanks @pgondhi987.
-- Require admin scope for node device token management [AI]. (#81067) Thanks @pgondhi987.
-- Restrict chat sender allowlist matching [AI]. (#80898) Thanks @pgondhi987.
-- Update: suppress the false newer-config warning during restart health probing after an update handoff, while keeping future-version mutation guards intact. (#78652)
-- Sessions: redact persisted tool result detail metadata before writing transcripts so diagnostic secrets do not survive tool output redaction. (#80444) Thanks @nimbleenigma.
-- Codex runtime: allow the official installed `@openclaw/codex` package to use its private task-runtime and MCP projection SDK helpers, fixing `MODULE_NOT_FOUND` during migrated OpenAI/Codex beta runs.
-- Codex migration: make Enter activate the highlighted checkbox row before continuing, so `Skip for now` and bulk-selection rows work even when planned items start preselected.
-- Codex harness: keep auth-profile-backed media tools such as `image_generate` available when OpenAI auth lives in the agent's auth-profile store instead of environment variables.
-- WhatsApp/install: allow Baileys' pinned libsignal git subdependency under pnpm 11 so source installs and local checks can complete.
-- Require auth for sandbox browser CDP relay [AI]. (#81002) Thanks @pgondhi987.
-- fix: detect carried exec command forms [AI]. (#81000) Thanks @pgondhi987.
-- Reject truncated exec approval commands [AI]. (#81001) Thanks @pgondhi987.
-- Enforce inline shell wrapper payload matching [AI]. (#80978) Thanks @pgondhi987.
-- fix(node-pairing): replace changed pending requests [AI]. (#80894) Thanks @pgondhi987.
-- Rate limit Google Chat webhook requests [AI]. (#80974) Thanks @pgondhi987.
-- Docker: mount the auth-profile secret key directory so OAuth-backed auth profiles survive container rebuilds. (#80991)
-- Onboarding: accept Codex auth profiles for canonical OpenAI model checks, avoiding false missing-auth warnings. (#80913) Thanks @rubencu.
-- fix(feishu): normalize webhook rate-limit client keys [AI]. (#80975) Thanks @pgondhi987.
-- fix(auth): prevent bootstrap pairing scope changes [AI]. (#80976) Thanks @pgondhi987.
-- Validate Control UI loopback retry endpoints [AI]. (#80900) Thanks @pgondhi987.
-- Harden exported markdown link rendering [AI]. (#80902) Thanks @pgondhi987.
-- fix(gateway): honor minimal discovery mode for wide-area DNS-SD [AI]. (#80903) Thanks @pgondhi987.
-- slack: enforce reaction notification policy [AI]. (#80907) Thanks @pgondhi987.
-- Enforce gateway command scopes by caller context [AI]. (#80891) Thanks @pgondhi987.
-- Telegram/groups: in single-account setups, treat an explicit empty `accounts.<id>.groups: {}` map the same as undefined so the root `channels.telegram.groups` allowlist still applies, instead of silently dropping every group update under the default `groupPolicy: "allowlist"`. Multi-account semantics are unchanged so per-account explicit-empty groups still scope-disable a single account without affecting siblings; the explicit way to block all groups for any account remains `groupPolicy: "disabled"`. Fixes #79427. (#81030) Thanks @kinjitakabe.
-- Codex (app-server): project user-configured `mcp.servers` into new Codex thread configs, matching the codex-cli runtime's existing `-c mcp_servers=...` behavior so app-server-runtime agents see the same user MCP servers the CLI runtime already exposes. Plugin-curated apps remain attached via the separate `apps` config patch. Fixes #80814. Thanks @kinjitakabe.
-- Enforce Slack plugin approval button authorization [AI]. (#80899) Thanks @pgondhi987.
-- Recognize PowerShell -ec inline commands [AI]. (#80893) Thanks @pgondhi987.
-- fix(qqbot): authorize approval button callbacks [AI]. (#80892) Thanks @pgondhi987.
-- Telegram: render supported HTML tags in streamed and durable replies instead of showing literal markup. (#80977)
-- Scrub streamable MCP redirect headers [AI]. (#80906) Thanks @pgondhi987.
-- fix(memory-wiki): require admin scope for ingest [AI]. (#80897) Thanks @pgondhi987.
-- memory-wiki: require write scope for Obsidian search [AI]. (#80904) Thanks @pgondhi987.
-- WhatsApp: externalize the channel as a ClawHub/npm plugin outside the core npm runtime bundle, and bump Baileys to `7.0.0-rc11` so libsignal resolves from the registry instead of a GitHub tarball.
-- WhatsApp: keep optional audio decoding dependencies local to the external plugin so the core npm install no longer pulls WhatsApp-only media helpers.
-- Build: skip copied metadata for bundled plugins that are excluded from build entries, preventing update/status rebuilds from advertising missing QQ Bot runtime files. (#80925)
-- Control UI/sessions: nest subagent sessions under their parent session in the session picker dropdown using a visual `└─ ` prefix, making the parent-child relationship clear. Fixes #77628. (#78623) Thanks @chinar-amrutkar.
-- Auto-reply: surface a visible error when the configured model backend fails and fallback produces no visible reply, while preserving intentional silent turns and side-effect-only deliveries. (#80917) Thanks @dutifulbob.
-- Agents/exec: skip redundant heartbeat wake-ups for subagent session exec completions, preventing spurious LLM invocations on parent sessions. Fixes #66748. (#66749) Thanks @ggzeng.
-- Provider streams: keep OpenAI-compatible SSE and JSON fallback streams draining across split chunks and fail Azure Responses streams with a bounded first-event diagnostic instead of stalling. Refs #80926. (#80927) Thanks @galiniliev and @CaptainTimon.
-- Agents: rewrite generic provider internal errors with support request IDs into user-friendly transient error copy. (#49401) Thanks @y471823206.
-- WhatsApp: finish handling pending debounced inbound messages before closing the socket. (#81246) Thanks @mcaxtr.
-- CLI/commitments: write `--json` output to stdout instead of diagnostic logs so automation can parse commitment list and dismiss results. (#81215) Thanks @giodl73-repo.
-- Update: allow pnpm GitHub-source OpenClaw updates to approve the OpenClaw package build, so source installs complete their prepare/prepack lifecycle. (#81294) Thanks @fuller-stack-dev.
-- Telegram: preserve supported HTML tags in visible replies and durable mirrors so formatted messages render correctly instead of degrading to escaped text. (#80977) Thanks @obviyus.
-- Plugins/runtime: attribute deprecated runtime config load/write warnings to the plugin id and source that triggered them so logs and plugin doctor runs are actionable. Refs #81394. (#81425) Thanks @BKF-Gitty.
-- Agents/cron: honor a cron payload's explicit `timeoutSeconds` for the LLM idle watchdog even when it numerically equals `agents.defaults.timeoutSeconds`, preserving explicit per-run timeout intent and preventing stalled streaming replies from being cut to the implicit 120s cap. (#79426) Thanks @legolaz8451.
-- Codex app-server: keep the short post-tool completion watchdog armed across dynamic tool completion bookkeeping so embedded Codex runs fail fast and release their session lane when Codex goes quiet after a tool result. (#81697) Thanks @mbelinky.
-- Control UI/WebChat: wrap long inline code tokens inside chat bubbles instead of clipping them at the bubble edge. Fixes #81932. (#81931) Thanks @galiniliev.
+- Agents/heartbeat: fix seven layered issues that broke multi-agent heartbeat cadence — (1) fan out the scheduler broadcast wake across agents in parallel via `Promise.all` instead of awaiting each `runOnce` sequentially, so one agent doing real work no longer starves every later agent in iteration order; (2) scope `skipWhenBusy` to lanes attributable to the firing agent via session-key parsing of `session:agent:<id>:…` / `nested:agent:<id>:…` lane names, instead of consulting the global `subagent` lane, so a single stuck subagent on one agent no longer silently disables every other agent's heartbeat; (3) always append workspace `HEARTBEAT.md` directives (everything outside an optional `tasks:` block) to the dispatch prompt, so prose-runbook `HEARTBEAT.md` files reach the model directly instead of being silently dropped unless periodic tasks are declared; (4) race the initial stream-establishment promise inside `streamWithIdleTimeout` against the same watchdog timer that previously only guarded inter-token gaps, so SDK requests stuck at TCP/TLS handshake or before the first response byte no longer hang indefinitely (the stalled-session diagnostic's `recovery=none` case); (5) emit an `openclaw doctor` warning when `heartbeat.session` pins a session key that has no entry in the agent's session store, so silently-dropped heartbeat deliveries surface at config-validation time; (6) also route the commitment-only task dispatch path (tasks configured, none due) through `appendHeartbeatFileDirectives` so prose directives outside the `tasks:` block reach the model on this path as well; (7) wrap the synchronous `baseFn(...)` invocation inside `streamWithIdleTimeout` in a try/catch that clears the connect watchdog timer before rethrowing, so a provider stream function that throws during setup no longer leaves a live timer that can fire `onIdleTimeout` later with a stale error and keep the process open past the real failure. Thanks @zeroaltitude.
+- Matrix: stop running `npm install`/`pnpm install` at runtime from a parent-derived plugin path; missing Matrix runtime dependencies now fail with repair guidance instead of mutating the wrong `node_modules` tree. Fixes #80758. (#80876) Thanks @kinjitakabe.
 - CLI/media: render terminal QR codes with full-block characters by default so the bundled `qrcode` terminal renderer does not emit a pathologically dense ANSI final row in compact half-block mode that breaks scanning in some terminals. Fixes #77820. Thanks @KrasimirKralev.
 - Agents/compaction: read post-compaction AGENTS.md refresh context from the queued run workspace instead of the runner process cwd, so CLI-backed follow-up turns re-inject the correct workspace startup rules after compaction. Fixes #70541. (#75532) Thanks @vyctorbrzezowski.
 - Agents/read tool: treat positive offsets beyond EOF as empty ranges instead of surfacing the upstream read error, so stale pagination cursors no longer crash tool calls while unrelated read failures still fail loud. Fixes #62466. (#75536) Thanks @vyctorbrzezowski.
+- Agents/memory-flush: surface non-abort memory-flush failures (provider timeout, transport error, generic agent failure) as visible reply payloads so the outer reply loop short-circuits and isolated cron runs propagate the error into `meta.error` instead of completing silently with `status: "ok"` and an empty payload. Previously only the specific "Memory flush writes are restricted to ..." message was surfaced. Fixes #80755. Thanks @nailujac.
 - Google/Gemini: normalize retired Gemini 3 Pro Preview refs left in Google API-key onboarding model allowlists and fallbacks, so setup-emitted config keeps testing `google/gemini-3.1-pro-preview` instead of `google/gemini-3-pro-preview`.
 - Telegram/context: bound selected topic context to the active session so messages from before `/new` or `/reset` are not replayed into later turns. (#80848) Thanks @VACInc.
 - Google/Gemini: normalize retired nested Gemini 3 Pro Preview ids when resolving exact configured proxy-provider refs, so `kilocode/google/gemini-3-pro-preview` resolves to `kilocode/google/gemini-3.1-pro-preview` for Gemini 3.1 testing.
 - CLI: strip generic OSC terminal escape payloads from sanitized output fields, preventing clipboard/title escape bodies from leaking into commitment tables and other terminal-safe text. Thanks @shakkernerd.
 - Codex app-server: match connector-backed plugin approval elicitations by stable connector id so enabled destructive actions no longer fall through to display-name-only rejection.
 - Build: replace selected build utility `tsx` preloads with Node native type stripping so Node 26 build paths no longer emit `DEP0205` module loader deprecation warnings. (#78584) Thanks @keshavbotagent.
+- Channels/loop-guard: enforce shared per-pair bot loop protection in the core channel-turn kernel, with Discord, Slack, Matrix, and Google Chat supplying bot-pair facts where they can reliably identify accepted bot-authored messages. The generic guard keys on `(scope, conversation, participant pair)`, suppresses every additional bot-to-bot event in either direction once a pair crosses the configured budget, and lifts suppression after `cooldownSeconds`. Defaults are `maxEventsPerWindow: 20`, `windowSeconds: 60`, and `cooldownSeconds: 60` whenever a channel lets bot-authored messages reach dispatch; they can be set globally via `channels.defaults.botLoopProtection` and overridden per channel/account or supported per-conversation config.

+## 2026.5.9
+
+### Changes
+
+- Skills: add `skills.load.allowSymlinkTargets` so intentional symlinked skill folders can resolve into trusted sibling repos without disabling root containment.
+- Agents/tools: add core Tool Search so agents can search and call large OpenClaw, MCP, and client tool catalogs through one compact PI bridge.
+- Doctor: warn when a per-agent model config omits the `fallbacks` key and `agents.defaults.model.fallbacks` is non-empty. Covers both string-form (`"model": "..."`) and partial-object form (`"model": { "primary": "..." }`) — both silently clobber the defaults chain at runtime. Use `"fallbacks": []` to explicitly opt out of fallbacks, or add `"fallbacks": [...]` to inherit or override. Fixes #79369.
+- Chat commands: add `/think default` and `/fast default` to clear session overrides and inherit configured/provider defaults. (#79385) Thanks @VACInc.
+- Dependencies: refresh workspace dependency pins and lockfile, including `@openai/codex` `0.130.0`, `acpx` `0.7.0`, AWS SDK `3.1044.0`, OpenTelemetry `0.217.0`, `typebox` `1.1.38`, `vite` `8.0.11`, `oxfmt` `0.48.0`, and `oxlint` `1.63.0`, and update the Codex harness model snapshot for the new bundled app-server catalog.
+- Plugins/install: add guarded plugin install overrides so onboarding and repair tests can route specific plugins to registry specs or local `npm pack` artifacts via environment variables.
+- Tests/Docker: add Codex on-demand install and live plugin-tool dependency E2E lanes for packaged onboarding and npm-pack plugin proof.
+- Plugins/ACPX: accept an optional `args` array in `agents.<name>` config so paths and flag values containing spaces stay intact when spawning ACP agent processes. Thanks @TheArchitectit and @BunsDev.
+- Agents: inject the current provider/model identity into system prompts, including configured prompt overrides and CLI hook prompt replacements, so agents can answer model-identity questions from the actual runtime selection.
+- Agents/subagents: add prompt-only `agents.defaults.subagents.delegationMode` and per-agent overrides with `suggest`/`prefer` modes, and centralize config-backed system prompt resolution across embedded, CLI, compaction, and command-export prompt surfaces.
+- Agents/subagents: add stronger delegation orchestration guidance, `sessions_yield` wait guidance, stable `taskName` aliases, and active-child runtime prompt context for spawned sub-agent work.
+- Plugins/CLI: add the optional bundled `oc-path` plugin, providing `openclaw path` for surgical `oc://` access to markdown, JSONC, and JSONL workspace files.
+- Plugins/SDK: add unified model catalog registration for text, image, video, and music providers, including `providerCatalogEntry` manifests, shared media list help, live catalog caching, and per-model video capability overlays.
+- Plugin SDK: add presentation helpers for controls-only interactive rendering and opt-in empty fallback text so rich channel renderers can share `MessagePresentation` semantics without duplicating native cards or components.
+- CLI: make parser, startup, config, guardrail, channel, agent, task, session, and MCP failures explain what happened and point to the next recovery command.
+- GitHub Copilot: refresh the model catalog from `${baseUrl}/models` so per-account entitlement and accurate context windows surface at runtime; static manifest catalog (now including `gpt-5.5`) remains the fallback when discovery is disabled or the API is unreachable.
+- Active Memory: support concrete `plugins.entries.active-memory.config.toolsAllow` recall tool names for custom memory plugins while keeping the built-in memory-core default on `memory_search`/`memory_get` and preserving `memory_recall` automatically for `plugins.slots.memory: "memory-lancedb"`.
+- Active Memory: report normal `NONE` recall decisions as `status=no_relevant_memory`, keep unavailable and failed recall paths distinct, and avoid caching no-summary recall results so ordinary no-context turns no longer look like broken `status=empty` memory. Fixes #79812. (#80015) Thanks @TurboTheTurtle.
+- Telegram: share the grammY API throttler across polling and ad hoc send clients for the same bot token, so visible draft previews and CLI sends use one quota gate. Thanks @anagnorisis2peripeteia.
+- Feishu: resolve group policy/tool context from the trusted chat target for group turns while keeping the speaker in `From`, so @mention replies do not drop the configured group id. Fixes #79457. Thanks @greyxiong.
+- Telegram/Feishu: honor configured per-agent and global `reasoningDefault` values when deciding whether channel reasoning previews should stream or stay hidden, addressing the preview-default part of #73182. Thanks @anagnorisis2peripeteia.
+- QQBot: mark recognized framework slash commands as text-command turns before reply dispatch so `/models`, `/status`, and `/new` responses stay visible in QQ Bot C2C conversations. Fixes #79310. Thanks @rollingshmily.
+- Docker: run the runtime image under `tini` so long-lived containers reap orphaned child processes and forward signals correctly. (#77885) Thanks @VintageAyu.
+- Logging/redaction: redact quoted HTTP client secret fields and auth/cookie headers in shared log and formatted error output. Related #71211 and #65623. (#75033) Thanks @liaoandi.
+- Gateway/SDK: document and stabilize the task ledger RPC surface for `tasks.list`, `tasks.get`, and `tasks.cancel`, including generated Swift model typing for optional task summaries. Thanks @BunsDev.
+- Google/Gemini: normalize retired `google/gemini-3-pro-preview` and `google-gemini-cli/gemini-3-pro-preview` selections to `google/gemini-3.1-pro-preview` before they are written to model config.
+- Google/Gemini: emit canonical `google/gemini-3.1-pro-preview` ids from configured provider catalog rows so model list and selection paths can test Gemini 3.1 instead of retired Gemini 3 Pro.
+- Google/Gemini: normalize nested proxy-provider catalog ids like `google/gemini-3-pro-preview` to `google/gemini-3.1-pro-preview`, so Kilo-style configured catalogs test Gemini 3.1 instead of the retired Gemini 3 Pro id.
+- Google/Gemini: canonicalize provider-onboarding model alias maps so setup flows preserve settings under `google/gemini-3.1-pro-preview` instead of re-emitting retired Gemini 3 Pro config keys.
+- Google/Gemini: canonicalize retired Gemini 3 Pro Preview ids inside Google dynamic model resolution so runtime clones also use `google/gemini-3.1-pro-preview`.
+- Google/Gemini: canonicalize provider-auth default model results before setup hooks and picker returns so auth flows do not re-emit retired `google/gemini-3-pro-preview` selections.
+- Amazon Bedrock: support `serviceTier` parameter for Bedrock models, configurable via `agents.defaults.params.serviceTier` or per-model in `agents.defaults.models`. Valid values: `default`, `flex`, `priority`, `reserved`. (#64512) Thanks @mobilinkd.
+- Control UI: read the Quick Settings exec policy badge from `tools.exec.security` instead of the non-schema `agents.defaults.exec.security` path, so configured `full`/`deny` values render accurately. Fixes #78311. Thanks @FriedBack.
+- Control UI/usage: add transcript-backed historical lineage rollups for rotated logical sessions, with current-instance vs historical-lineage scope controls and long-range presets so usage history stays visible after restarts and updates. Fixes #50701. Thanks @dev-gideon-llc and @BunsDev.
+- Agents/failover: harden state-aware lane suspension by persisting quota resume transitions, restoring configured lane concurrency, preserving non-quota failure reasons, and exporting model failover events through diagnostics OTLP. Thanks @BunsDev.
+- Control UI/Windows: add the SPA-side WebView2 bridge for native hosts so draft text can update the chat composer and the ready handshake is wired through the app lifecycle. (#69633) Thanks @AlexAlves87.
+- Channels/streaming: make progress draft labels scroll away with other progress lines, render structured tool rows as compact emoji/title/details, show web-search queries from provider-native argument shapes, and skip empty Discord apply-patch starts until a patch summary exists. (#79146)
+- Runtime/performance: avoid full-array sorting while auto-selecting providers, resolving supported thinking levels, picking node last-seen timestamps, and extracting Codex usage-limit messages. Thanks @shakkernerd.
+- Plugins/doctor: avoid full-array sorting while selecting ClawHub search/archive results and bounded dreaming doctor entries. Thanks @shakkernerd.
+- Agents/compaction: keep contributor diagnostics to a bounded top-three selection without sorting the full history. Thanks @shakkernerd.
+- Sessions/UI: avoid full-array sorting while selecting ACPX leases, Google Meet calendar events, and latest chat sessions. Thanks @shakkernerd.
+- Plugin SDK: mark direct `deliverOutboundPayloads` and legacy reply-dispatch bridges as deprecated compatibility substrate, enrich `sendDurableMessageBatch` with explicit durable send outcomes, migrate bundled send/turn paths off deprecated APIs, and enforce the split with `check:deprecated-api-usage`.
+- OpenAI/Talk: let browser realtime Talk, Gateway relay/Voice Call realtime bridges, and OpenAI realtime transcription use `openai-codex` OAuth when no direct API key is configured, make Google Meet `test_speech` honor `mode: "bidi"`, expose Control UI launch options for provider/model/voice/transport/VAD/reasoning, and update the default OpenAI realtime voice model to `gpt-realtime-2`. Thanks @Solvely-Colin.
+- Telegram: preserve the channel-specific 10-option poll cap in the unified outbound adapter so over-limit polls are rejected before send. (#78762) Thanks @obviyus.
+- Telegram/streaming: continue over-limit draft previews in a new message instead of stopping when rendered preview text crosses Telegram's message limit. (#74508) Thanks @anagnorisis2peripeteia.
+- Slack: route handled top-level channel turns in implicit-conversation channels to thread-scoped sessions when Slack reply threading is enabled, keeping the root turn and later thread replies on one OpenClaw session. (#78522) Thanks @zeroth-blip.
+- Telegram: re-probe the primary fetch transport after repeated sticky fallback success so transient IPv4 or pinned-IP fallback promotion can recover without a gateway restart. Fixes #77088. (#77157) Thanks @MkDev11.
+- Agents/harness: skip tool-result middleware validation when no handler is registered, and sanitize incoming tool result `details` (functions, symbols, bigints, cycles, oversized payloads) before middleware sees them. Tool emitters legitimately produce raw dependency payloads on `details`, and the harness owes any registered middleware a JSON-safe view of that payload; otherwise a no-op middleware (e.g. bundled `tokenjuice` on the `pi` runtime) causes the validator to reject every tool result and silently substitute a failure sentinel, dropping outbound Discord messages, exec output, cron results, and any other tool whose payload carries non-serializable values. Thanks @solomonneas.
+- Runtime/install: raise the supported Node 22 floor to `22.16+` so native SQLite query handling can rely on the `node:sqlite` statement metadata API while continuing to recommend Node 24. (#78921)
+- Discord/voice: make duplicate same-guild auto-join entries resolve to the last configured channel so moving an agent between voice channels does not keep joining the stale channel.
+- Discord/voice: add realtime `/vc` modes so Discord voice channels can run as STT/TTS, a realtime talk buffer with the OpenClaw agent brain, or a bidi realtime session with `openclaw_agent_consult`.
+- Discord/voice: add bounded realtime gateway logs for voice channel joins, realtime model/voice selection, transcripts, consult routing/answers, and playback start, allow OpenAI realtime Discord sessions to disable input-triggered response interruption for echo-heavy rooms while keeping explicit Discord barge-in available for new and already-active speakers, and allow voice turns to target an existing Discord channel agent session.
+- Discord/voice: add `voice.realtime.minBargeInAudioEndMs` and let the realtime provider own playback clearing, so speaker echo no longer cuts OpenAI realtime model audio at `audioEndMs=0` while low-echo rooms can opt back into immediate barge-in with `0`.
+- Discord/voice: make `agent-proxy` the default voice mode so realtime voice acts as the microphone/speaker extension of the routed OpenClaw agent session, with `stt-tts` remaining available as an explicit fallback.
+- Discord/voice: route default `agent-proxy` realtime turns through the OpenClaw consult handoff with owner-level tool access and a forced-consult transcript fallback, matching the Codex-style voice front end while keeping the routed agent authoritative.
+- Discord/voice: keep OpenAI realtime bidi consults quiet while the supervisor agent is still working, accept Codex-style `conversation.item.done` function-call events, and preserve continuing tool results through the gateway relay so the OpenAI realtime bridge reliably routes consults before speaking the final answer.
+- Discord/voice: include a bounded one-line STT transcript preview in verbose voice logs so live voice debugging shows what speakers said before the agent reply.
+- Codex app-server: pin the managed Codex harness and Codex CLI smoke package to `@openai/codex@0.129.0`, defer OpenClaw integration dynamic tools behind Codex tool search by default, and accept current Codex service-tier values so legacy `fast` settings survive the stable harness upgrade as `priority`.
+- Codex app-server: annotate message-tool-only direct chat turns in the dynamic `message` tool spec so visible replies are sent through `message(action="send")` instead of staying private. (#79704)
+- Agents/PI: route explicit OpenAI Codex Responses runs through PI's native WebSocket-capable transport and remove OpenClaw's custom OpenAI Responses WebSocket stack while preserving auth injection, run abort signals, and prompt cache boundary stripping.
+- Models/config: allow `compat.thinkingFormat` values `qwen` and `qwen-chat-template` for configured OpenAI-compatible Qwen models, preserving them through catalog normalization and mapping `/think` levels to `enable_thinking` or `chat_template_kwargs.enable_thinking`. Fixes #79677. (#79777) Thanks @indulgeback.
+- Codex app-server: default implicit local stdio app-server permissions to guardian when Codex system requirements disallow the YOLO approval, reviewer, or sandbox value, including hostname-scoped remote sandbox entries, avoiding turn-start failures on managed hosts that permit only reviewed approval or narrower sandboxes.
+- Plugins/install: run managed npm-root install, uninstall, prune, and repair commands from the managed root without a redundant `--prefix .`, avoiding npm 10.9.3 Arborist crashes on native Windows WhatsApp plugin installs. Fixes #78514. (#78902) Thanks @melihselamett-stack.
+- Config/schema/Windows: detect direct execution of the base config schema generator with `pathToFileURL` so Windows paths with backslashes still run the `--check` and `--write` command body. (#52989) Thanks @easyteacher.
+- Discord/voice: stream ElevenLabs TTS directly into Discord playback and send ElevenLabs latency optimization as the documented query parameter so spoken replies can start sooner.
+- Discord/voice: keep TTS playback running when another user starts speaking, ignore new capture during playback to avoid feedback loops, and downgrade expected receive-stream aborts to verbose diagnostics.
+- iMessage: expose native private-API message actions through `imsg rpc` for reactions, edits, unsends, replies, rich sends, attachments, and group management when `imsg status --json` reports the required bridge capabilities.
+- Gateway/tasks: reconcile stale CLI run-context tasks whose live run context disappeared even when a child session row remains, and apply the default bounded reload deferral timeout to channel hot reloads so stale task records cannot block Discord/Slack/Telegram reloads forever.
+- Gateway/heartbeat: keep stripped `HEARTBEAT_OK` acknowledgements out of pending final-delivery replay and let recent ack-only pending state proceed to the next heartbeat run instead of creating a self-refreshing requests-in-flight loop. Fixes #79258. Thanks @haumanto.
+- Gateway/sessions: keep session-store index writes atomic while skipping durable fsync inside the writer lock, reducing cron and channel-turn starvation on slow filesystems and addressing the session-store strand of #73655. Thanks @mmartoccia.
+- Discord/voice: make `openclaw channels capabilities --channel discord --target channel:<id>` and `channels status --probe` audit voice-channel permissions, including auto-join targets, so missing Connect/Speak/Read Message History permissions show up before `/vc join`.
+- Gateway/restart: expose `skipDeferral` on the `gateway.restart.request` RPC and add `openclaw gateway restart --safe --skip-deferral` so operators can bypass the safe-restart deferral gate when a pinned task run prevents the OpenClaw-aware restart from draining. Surfaces the existing internal `scheduleGatewaySigusr1Restart({ skipDeferral })` semantics added in #71637 to a public surface, complementing `gateway.reload.deferralTimeoutMs`. Refs #76162. Thanks @solomonneas.
+- Discord/streaming: default Discord replies to progress draft previews so tool/work activity appears in one edited Discord message unless `channels.discord.streaming.mode` is set to `off`.
+- OpenAI/realtime: default realtime voice to `gpt-realtime-2`, use the GA Realtime WebSocket session shape for backend OpenAI bridges, and cover backend, WebRTC, Google Live, and Gateway relay paths in the live Talk smoke. (#79130)
+- Update/Windows: spawn the post-core-update child process with `stdio:"pipe"` on Windows so PowerShell/CMD console handles are not inherited, preventing the terminal from hanging after `openclaw update` completes. Fixes #78445. (#78483) Thanks @Beandon13.
+- 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.
+- Channels/plugins: show configured official external channels as missing-plugin status rows and send errors with exact install/doctor repair commands after raw package-manager upgrades leave Feishu or WhatsApp uninstalled. Fixes #78702 and #78593. Thanks @MarkMa84 and @mkupiainen.
+- Matrix: move the Matrix channel back to an official external ClawHub/npm plugin so core installs no longer need Matrix SDK runtime dependencies.
+- Matrix: attach `com.openclaw.presentation` metadata to semantic presentation replies so OpenClaw-aware Matrix clients can render rich buttons, selects, context rows, and dividers while stock clients keep the plain text fallback. (#73312) Thanks @kakahu2015.
+- Codex app-server: disarm the short post-tool completion watchdog after current-turn activity, expose `appServer.turnCompletionIdleTimeoutMs`, and include raw assistant item context in idle-timeout diagnostics so status-only post-tool stalls stop failing as idle. Fixes #77984. Thanks @roseware-dev and @rubencu.
+- Codex app-server: release the session lane after a completed assistant message item goes quiet without `turn/completed`, and stop global rate-limit notifications from keeping stuck turns alive.
+- 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.
+- Process tool: show input-wait hints from `log` and `poll` for idle interactive background sessions so operators can inspect stuck CLIs and resume them with existing input actions. Fixes #33957. Thanks @bitloi and @vincentkoc.
+- Shell env/Windows: hide the login-shell environment probe child window so gateway startup and shell-env refreshes do not flash a console on Windows. Fixes #78159. (#78266) Thanks @BradGroux.
+- 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.
+- Windows/restart: skip duplicate scheduled-task `/Run` calls when the gateway task is already running, using a locale-stable PowerShell task-state probe before retrying. Fixes #52044. (#52487) Thanks @andyk-ms.
+- Media/host-read: allow buffer-verified ZIP archives in the host-local media validator so agents can send ZIP attachments via the message tool. Fixes #78057. (#78292) Thanks @Linux2010.
+- 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.
+- Contributor PRs: remind external contributors to redact private information like IP addresses, API keys, phone numbers, and non-public endpoints from real behavior proof. Thanks @pashpashpash.
+- ACP bridge: relay Gateway exec approval prompts from active ACP turns to the ACP client's `session/request_permission` handler before resolving the Gateway approval. Thanks @amknight.
+- Codex/plugins: enable migrated source-installed `openai-curated` Codex plugins in the same Codex harness thread with explicit `codexPlugins` config, cached app readiness, and fail-closed destructive-action policy. Thanks @kevinslin.
+- Codex/plugins: enforce native plugin destructive-action policy with Codex app-level `destructive_enabled` config instead of OpenClaw-maintained per-tool deny lists, leave plugin app `open_world_enabled` on by default, and invalidate existing plugin app thread bindings so old generated app config is rebuilt. Thanks @kevinslin.
+- QQBot/Skills: translate QQBot skill descriptions surfaced in the Skills UI so English-language users no longer see Chinese metadata. Fixes #77810. Thanks @eabase.
+- Image generation: include enabled generation providers such as fal in provider discovery even when another image provider is already active. Fixes #78141. Thanks @leoge007.
+- Slack: keep Socket Mode's native reconnect enabled so transient ping/pong misses can recover without forcing a full provider rebuild. Fixes #77933. Thanks @bmoran1022 and @brokemac79.
+- Cron: preserve cron timeout results when an isolated agent turn's `cron-nested` lane watchdog fires, preventing internal command-lane or model-fallback timeout text from being persisted. Fixes #77703. (#78168) Thanks @brokemac79 and @transxtech.
+- 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.
+- ACPX/Codex: preserve trusted Codex project declarations when launching isolated Codex ACP sessions, avoiding interactive trust prompts in headless runs. Thanks @Stedyclaw.
+- ACPX/Codex: reap stale OpenClaw-owned ACPX/Codex ACP process trees on startup and after ACP session close, preventing orphaned harness processes from slowing the Gateway. Thanks @91wan.
+- ACP bridge: implement stable session list, resume, and close handlers so ACP clients can page Gateway sessions, rebind existing sessions without replay, and close bridge sessions cleanly. Thanks @amknight.
+- ACP bridge: replay complete ledger-backed ACP sessions on load, including user prompts, tool updates, session metadata, and usage snapshots, while keeping older sessions on the existing transcript fallback. Thanks @amknight.
+- ACP sessions: allow parent agents to inspect and message their own spawned cross-agent ACP sessions without enabling broad agent-to-agent visibility. Thanks @barronlroth.
+- 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.
+- Logging/Talk: route shared Talk lifecycle events into bounded file and OTLP log records while keeping transcript text, audio payloads, turn ids, call ids, and provider item ids out of logs.
+- 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.
+- 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.
+- Telegram/performance: skip non-forum topic-cache setup, defer status reaction variant work until reactions are needed, and reuse ack reaction gating during message context assembly. Thanks @vincentkoc.
+- Telegram/performance: reduce command-menu CPU and allocation work when many native, plugin, and custom commands are registered. (#79717) Thanks @drsolveit.
+- CLI/migrate: add bulk on/off and skip controls to interactive Codex skill migration, leaving conflicting skill copies unchecked by default. (#77597) Thanks @kevinslin.
+- CLI/migrate: show native Codex plugin names before truncated plan items and prompt for plugin activation explicitly during interactive Codex migration instead of silently keeping every planned plugin. Thanks @kevinslin.
+- CLI/migrate: leave already configured target Codex plugins unchecked in the interactive plugin selector and show a `plugin exists` conflict hint while keeping new plugin activations selected by default. Thanks @kevinslin.
+- CLI/migrate: return cleanly without apply confirmation when interactive Codex migration leaves both skill copies and native plugin activations unselected. Thanks @kevinslin.
+- 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.
+- Slack/performance: reduce message preparation, stream recipient lookup, and thread-context allocation overhead on Slack reply hot paths. Thanks @vincentkoc.
+- Control UI/chat: strip untrusted sender metadata from live streams and transcript display, preserve canvas preview anchors, and stop operator UI clients from injecting their internal client id as sender identity. Fixes #78739. Thanks @tmimmanuel, @guguangxin-eng, @hclsys, and @BunsDev.
+- 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.
+- Control UI/chat and Sessions: label inherited thinking defaults separately from explicit overrides while preserving provider-supplied option labels. Fixes #77581. Thanks @BunsDev and @Beandon13.
+- Agents/runtime: add prepared runtime foundation contracts for carrying provider, model, tool, TTS, and outbound runtime facts through later reply-path migrations. Thanks @mcaxtr.
+- Control UI/WhatsApp: keep Show QR available for unlinked WhatsApp accounts while switching linked accounts to the explicit Relink action and showing Wait for scan only when a QR is active. Thanks @BunsDev.
+- Gateway/performance: reuse the compatible plugin metadata snapshot across dashboard and channel agent turns so auto-enabled runtime config does not repeatedly rescan plugin metadata before provider calls. Thanks @shakkernerd.
+- Gateway/performance: reuse current plugin metadata for provider activation, auth/env candidate lookup, and bundle settings during dashboard and channel agent turns while keeping the configless secret-target cache unscoped and refusing stale unscoped reuse when plugin discovery roots differ. Thanks @shakkernerd.
+- Gateway/performance: avoid resolving plugin auto-enable metadata twice in one runtime config pass, reducing repeated dashboard turn metadata scans. Thanks @shakkernerd.
+- Control UI/performance: pre-scope config tab schemas before rendering, load Channels with cached/runtime status before manual probes, preserve channel rows through failed status summaries, and keep stale slow probes from replacing newer snapshots. Thanks @BunsDev.
+- Auth/providers: pass `config` and `workspaceDir` lookup context through to provider-id resolution so workspace-scoped auth aliases resolve correctly when no explicit alias map is supplied. Thanks @shakkernerd.
+- Gateway/diagnostics: add startup phase spans, active work labels, stale terminal bridge markers, and opt-in sync-I/O tracing in `pnpm gateway:watch` so slow Gateway turns are easier to attribute from logs and stability diagnostics.
+- QA/Mantis: add an opt-in Discord thread attachment before/after scenario that creates a real thread, calls `message.thread-reply` with `filePath`, and captures baseline/candidate screenshot evidence.
+- Discord: preserve `filePath` and `path` attachments when replying to a thread with the message tool.
+- 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/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.
+- CI/Crabbox: default owned AWS fallback to `standard` multi-region capacity with broker hints enabled, reserving `beast` for explicit CPU-bound maintainer lanes.
+- 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.
+- 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.
+- 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: route browser, media, channel, and QA external output producers through staged fs-safe writes before final publication. (#78768)
+- 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.
+- Core/performance: trim reply payload routing, heartbeat filtering, tool display, core tool assembly, channel directory, task status, and Slack approval formatting helper chains with direct bounded scans. Thanks @vincentkoc.
+- Control UI/performance: keep chat, config, and channel refreshes responsive by decoupling slow history/schema/status work, reducing the client history window, and logging over-budget chat/config renders. Refs #77060, #45698, #47979, #44107. Thanks @BunsDev.
+- Gateway/diagnostics: add startup phase spans, active work labels, stale terminal bridge markers, and opt-in sync-I/O tracing in `pnpm gateway:watch` so slow Gateway turns are easier to attribute from logs and stability diagnostics.
+- 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.
+- Plugin SDK/Gateway: add scoped `plugins.sessionAction` dispatch and plugin-attributed `emitAgentEvent` support so plugins can expose typed session actions and workflow events to trusted clients. (#75578; replaces part of #73384/#74483) Thanks @100yenadmin.
+- Plugins/SDK: expose host-derived tool target paths to `before_tool_call` and trusted policy hooks so workflow plugins can reason about known file targets without reparsing tool envelopes. (#75605) Thanks @100yenadmin.
+- Control UI/WebChat: show a persistent compact context usage indicator from fresh session token data before the high-pressure warning state, while keeping the existing compaction prompt threshold. Fixes #46398; refs #45048, #50071, and #73744. Thanks @walterwkchoy, @AxelrodAI, @Brissux, @vincentkoc, and @BunsDev.
+- 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.
+- Plugins/hooks: add a `before_agent_run` pass/block gate that can stop a user prompt before model submission while preserving a redacted transcript entry for the user, and clarify that raw conversation hooks require `hooks.allowConversationAccess=true`. (#75035) Thanks @jesse-merhi.
+- Config/Nix: keep startup-derived plugin enablement, gateway auth tokens, control UI origins, and owner-display secrets runtime-only instead of rewriting `openclaw.json`; in Nix mode, config writers, mutating `openclaw update`, plugin lifecycle mutators, and doctor repair/token-generation now refuse with agent-first nix-openclaw guidance. (#78047) Thanks @joshp123.
+- Plugin SDK: add a generic `api.runtime.llm.complete` host completion helper with runtime-derived caller attribution, config-gated model/agent overrides, session-bound context-engine access, request-scoped config, audit metadata, and normalized usage attribution. (#64294) Thanks @DaevMithran.
+- Control UI/exec approvals: highlight parsed shell command fragments that may deserve extra review in approval prompts. (#77153) Thanks @jesse-merhi.
+- Channels/iMessage: honor `channels.imessage.groups.<chat_id>.systemPrompt` (and the `groups["*"]` wildcard) by forwarding it as `GroupSystemPrompt` on inbound group turns, mirroring the byte-identical resolver semantic from WhatsApp where defining the key as an empty string on a specific group suppresses the wildcard fallback. Brings iMessage to parity with the per-group `systemPrompt` pattern already supported by Discord, Telegram, IRC, Slack, GoogleChat, and the retired BlueBubbles channel. Fixes #78285. (#79383) Thanks @omarshahine.
+- iMessage: add opt-in inbound catchup that replays messages received while the gateway was offline (crash, restart, mac sleep) on next startup. Enable with `channels.imessage.catchup.enabled: true`; tunables for `maxAgeMinutes`, `perRunLimit`, `firstRunLookbackMinutes`, and `maxFailureRetries`. Persists a per-account cursor under the OpenClaw state dir (`<openclawStateDir>/imessage/catchup/`), replays each row through the live dispatch path so allowlists/group policy/dedupe behave identically on replayed and live messages, and force-advances past wedged guids after `maxFailureRetries` to prevent stuck cursors. Extends the persisted echo-cache retention window so the agent's own outbound rows from before a gap are not re-fed as inbound on replay. Includes a regenerated `src/config/bundled-channel-config-metadata.generated.ts` so the runtime AJV schema accepts the new `channels.imessage.catchup` block. Fixes #78649. (#79387) Thanks @omarshahine.
+- Channels/Yuanbao: bump the bundled `openclaw-plugin-yuanbao` npm spec from `2.11.0` to `2.13.0` in the official external channel catalog and refresh the pinned integrity hash, so fresh installs and catalog-driven reinstalls pick up the newer Yuanbao channel plugin release. (#79620) Thanks @loongfay.
+- Gateway/OpenAI-compatible Chat Completions: support function `tools`, `tool_choice`, `tool_calls`, and `role: "tool"` follow-up turns while keeping tool-call stream finalization aligned with the command result and reporting client-tool name conflicts as invalid requests. (#66278) Thanks @Lellansin.
+- Providers/Mistral: add `mistral-medium-3-5` to the bundled catalog with reasoning support. Thanks @sliekens.
+- Docs/Mistral: document Medium 3.5 setup, local infer smoke usage, adjustable reasoning, and the Mistral HTTP 400 caveat for `reasoning_effort="high"` with `temperature: 0`.
+
+### Breaking
+
+- Channels/iMessage: remove the bundled BlueBubbles channel surface and deprecate BlueBubbles-backed iMessage setup in OpenClaw. Existing `channels.bluebubbles` configs must migrate to `channels.imessage` using `imsg` on a signed-in Mac or an SSH wrapper, and non-macOS default `imsg` configs now report remote-Mac wrapper guidance.
+
+### Fixes
+
+- Models/auth: keep `agents.defaults.model` when `openclaw models auth login` runs without `--set-default`, so provider onboarding patches add models without silently switching the primary. Fixes #78162. (#78241) Thanks @neeravmakwana.
+- Control UI/chat: localize the remaining chat welcome, composer, run-control, session/model/thinking selector, and zh-CN Skills labels through the Control UI i18n pipeline so non-English browser locales no longer see those chat controls in English. Fixes #79937. Thanks @BunsDev.
+- Control UI: surface browser-blocked WebSocket security failures with wss:// and loopback dashboard guidance instead of leaving the connection on a dead security error. Thanks @BunsDev.
+- Gateway/diagnostics: keep active-only transient event-loop max-delay samples as info-level stability telemetry instead of warning-level liveness diagnostics. Thanks @BunsDev.
+- Google/Gemini: default new API-key onboarding to stable `google/gemini-2.5-flash` instead of the preview Pro route, reducing surprise daily quota exhaustion. Fixes #79670. Thanks @HugeBunny.
+- Amazon Bedrock: expose Claude thinking profiles through the lightweight provider policy surface so `/think:adaptive` validates before the Bedrock runtime plugin is loaded. Fixes #79754. Thanks @phoenixyy and @hclsys.
+- Codex/transcripts: mirror dynamic tool calls and outputs into Codex app-server transcripts so tool activity is visible alongside assistant text instead of being elided, with per-item output capped at 12,000 characters. (#79952) Thanks @scoootscooob.
+- Memory: close temp SQLite handles before failed atomic reindex cleanup and retry Windows EBUSY/EPERM/EACCES temp file removals, so `memory index --force` does not abort or leave temp sidecars on locked filesystems. Fixes #79708. Thanks @LobsterFarmerAmp and @hclsys.
+- Agents/CLI: add an explicit `reseedFromRawTranscriptWhenUncompacted` backend opt-in so safe invalidated CLI sessions can reseed from a bounded raw OpenClaw transcript tail before compaction while auth-boundary resets remain no-raw. Fixes #79713. (#79764) Thanks @hclsys.
+- Agents/CLI: handle resumed CLI JSONL output and bound supervisor output buffering so resumed runs stay readable without letting noisy child output grow unbounded.
+- Codex app-server: honor per-call `timeoutMs`, configured `image_generate` timeouts, and media image-understanding timeouts for dynamic tool calls, capped at 600000 ms, so slow image generation and image analysis no longer fail at the 30s bridge default. Fixes #79810. Thanks @omarshahine.
+- Agents/sandbox: include the container workspace path hint in sandbox-root escape errors while preserving shortened host workspace roots. Fixes #79712. Thanks @haumanto and @hclsys.
+- macOS/device pairing: let the native app read CLI PEM device identities and let the TypeScript loader migrate legacy Swift raw-key identities without generating a new device id, preventing repeated pairing prompts when `OPENCLAW_STATE_DIR` is shared. Fixes #76815. Thanks @BunsDev.
+- Image generation: honor configured web-fetch SSRF policy across OpenAI, Google, MiniMax, OpenRouter, and Vydra provider requests so RFC2544 fake-IP proxy opt-ins reach generation calls. Fixes #79716. (#79765) Thanks @hclsys.
+- Telegram: persist reply-chain message cache records as a compact append log instead of rewriting the full cache on every inbound message, reducing large-group turn latency.
+- Telegram/CLI-backend: mirror outbound replies to the session transcript so CLI-backend agent responses create `.jsonl` session files, preventing `sessionId=unknown` on subsequent runs. Fixes #75991.
+- Gateway/nodes: allow approved chat-channel macOS node exec replays to cross transient agent WebSocket reconnects only when node, agent session, and channel target metadata still match, restoring Telegram/WeCom host=node approvals without opening a general backend replay bypass. Fixes #77656. Thanks @BunsDev.
+- QQBot: route gateway WebSocket connections through the ambient proxy agent so deployments with `https_proxy`, `HTTPS_PROXY`, or `HTTP_PROXY` can reach the QQ gateway. (#72961) Thanks @xialonglee.
+- Agents/subagents: treat `sessions_spawn` `model: "default"` as the default-model fallback and ignore ACP-only stream targets for native sub-agent spawns. Fixes #72078. (#72101) Thanks @xialonglee.
+- Agents/failover: stop retrying assistant-prefill format rejections across auth profiles or model fallbacks, surfacing the deterministic provider error instead of requeueing the lane. Fixes #79688. (#79728) Thanks @hclsys.
+- Google/Gemini: resolve missing Gemini 3 Flash catalog rows through the Google provider template path so image-capable media-understanding models keep `input: ["text", "image"]` instead of falling back to text-only metadata. Fixes #79750. (#79759) Thanks @fenglanhua and @hclsys.
+- Memory/QMD: warn with a manual stale collection removal hint when QMD reports a path/pattern conflict but `collection list` lacks verifiable metadata, avoiding unsafe stderr-only rebinds. Refs #71783. (#72297) Thanks @MonkeyLeeT.
+- Models/auth: make `openclaw models status --check` and dashboard auth health honor effective auth profile order while keeping stale profiles visible. (#79685) Thanks @nimbleenigma.
+- Agents/failover: classify bare `stream_read_error` streaming failures as transient timeouts so configured model fallback runs instead of surfacing the raw transport error. Fixes #79689. (#79692) Thanks @hekunwang.
+- Agents/failover: persist overloaded auth-profile cooldown marks before exhausted fallback summaries surface, so immediate fallback retries honor the recorded cooldown state.
+- Docs/Subagents: correct the listed sub-agent bootstrap context files to include `SOUL.md`, `IDENTITY.md`, and `USER.md`. (#79470) Thanks @lastguru-net.
+- Backup: keep live backup archives from copying current agent session transcripts, cron run logs, and delivery queues while preserving workspace lock/temp files and keeping `--json` output parseable when volatile files are skipped. Fixes #72249. (#72251) Thanks @abnershang.
+- Backup: place the temp manifest outside every backed-up asset so `backup create --verify` still passes when `TMPDIR` resolves inside a source path (for example `~/.openclaw/tmp`), avoiding the duplicate root manifest that otherwise tripped `Expected exactly one backup manifest entry, found 2`. Fixes #75007. Thanks @YaanFPV.
+- OpenAI/Codex: install the Codex runtime plugin from npm during OpenAI onboarding and load it automatically for implicit OpenAI model routes, while preserving manual PI runtime overrides. Fixes #79358.
+- OpenAI/realtime voice: defer `response.create` while a realtime response is still active, retry after `response.done`/`response.cancelled`, and align GA input transcription/noise-reduction defaults with the Codex realtime reference so Discord/Voice Call consult results can resume speaking instead of tripping the active-response race.
+- OpenAI/realtime voice: avoid duplicate barge-in cancellation requests, log realtime model interruption/cutoff events in Discord voice logs, and treat OpenAI's no-active-response cancellation reply as a completed cancel so Discord voice sessions do not wedge pending speech after fast interruptions.
+- Agents/runtime: strip trailing assistant prefill for Claude-family OpenAI Responses routes, persist prompt/assistant profile cooldown marks before fallback, and show the configured container root in sandbox escape diagnostics. Fixes #79688 and #79712. Thanks @stainlu and @mushuiyu886.
+- Gateway: avoid false degraded event-loop health during rapid health/readiness/status probes unless sustained load has delay co-evidence, while keeping hard delay detection immediate. (#77028) Thanks @rubencu.
+- Markdown: keep blockquote spans off trailing paragraph separators. Fixes #79646.
+- Plugin SDK/LM Studio: recover Harmony plain-text tool calls from LM Studio streams. Fixes #78326.
+- Control UI: refresh the model cache after `session_status(model=...)` changes a session model. Fixes #79613.
+- Agents/context-engine: share loop-hook checkpoints with the after-turn finalizer so messages are not replayed. Fixes #79630.
+- Codex app-server: keep native hook relays alive for long-running turns so shell and file approvals stay reachable until the configured run window finishes. (#77533) Thanks @rubencu.
+- Gateway/macOS: clear ignored SIGUSR1 restart state, skip redundant package-update restarts when the refreshed LaunchAgent already serves the expected version, and give launchd a 10s throttle plus 20s shutdown window so update restarts do not leave old gateways alive or fight supervisor recovery. Fixes #79577; refs #78699 and #60885. Thanks @BunsDev.
+- Status/Codex: route Codex-harness `openai/*` usage through the OpenAI Codex quota provider and scope CLI status usage to the default agent auth store so `/status` and `openclaw status --usage` show Codex quota windows again. Fixes #79312. Thanks @keshavbotagent.
+- Matrix: keep joined strict DM rooms discoverable when stale `m.direct` mappings already point at an older strict room, and let `dm.sessionScope: "per-room"` promote safe unmapped strict rooms through the existing unnamed/unaliased room gate. Fixes #79514. Thanks @stainlu.
+- Gateway/agent: pass the session-key agent id into inline image attachment validation so the first image in a fresh per-agent session uses the agent's vision-capable model override instead of the text-only system default. Fixes #79407. Thanks @pandadev66.
+- Gateway/maintenance: prune dedupe overflow against a stable excess count and keep active agent retries from starting duplicate runs after cache eviction. (#73841) Thanks @thesomewhatyou.
+- Control UI/subagents: suppress internal `subagent_announce` handoff prompts from requester transcripts and hide legacy inter-session wrapper rows so completed subagent results no longer surface runtime context in WebChat history. (#79618) Thanks @joshavant.
+- Discord: preserve username target resolution for Discord outbound sends. (#79076) Thanks @vincentkoc.
+- Gateway/sessions: rotate generated transcript paths when gateway sessions reset, complementing the daily-rollover transcript persistence. (#79076) Thanks @vincentkoc.
+- Dependencies: pin the transitive `fast-uri` production dependency to `3.1.2` so the production dependency audit no longer resolves the vulnerable `<=3.1.1` range. Thanks @shakkernerd.
+- Plugins/install: fail managed npm plugin installs when OpenClaw cannot repair a required plugin-local `node_modules/openclaw` peer link, preventing that peer-link failure mode from producing unusable `@openclaw/codex` installs. Refs #79462. Thanks @ai-hpc.
+- xAI/tools: register and execute `x_search` and `code_execution` when the xAI API key comes from an auth profile, keeping the plugin tool gate aligned with `openclaw onboard --auth-choice xai-api-key`. Fixes #79353. Thanks @dbernaltbn.
+- Cron/agents: recognize same-target `edit`↔`write` recovery in `isSameToolMutationAction`, so a successful `write` to a path clears an earlier failed `edit` on the same path. Stops cron from reporting fatal failures when an agent self-heals across `edit` and `write`, while preserving same-tool fingerprint matching, blocking different-target writes, and excluding tools (including `apply_patch`) whose real call args do not produce a stable `path` fingerprint segment. Fixes #79024. Thanks @RenzoMXD.
+- Gateway/Tailscale: add opt-in `gateway.tailscale.preserveFunnel` so when `tailscale.mode = "serve"` and an externally configured Tailscale Funnel route already covers the gateway port, OpenClaw skips re-applying `tailscale serve` on startup and skips the `resetOnExit` teardown for that run, keeping operator-managed Funnel exposure alive across gateway restarts. Fixes #57241. Thanks @RenzoMXD.
+- CLI/router: when `openclaw <name>` does not match a CLI subcommand, check plugin tool manifests first so names like `lcm_recent` get an agent-tool diagnostic instead of the misleading suggestion to add the tool name to `plugins.allow`. Fixes #77214. Thanks @100yenadmin.
+- QA-lab/parity: bump the live mock-openai parity baseline from `claude-opus-4-6`/`claude-sonnet-4-6` to `claude-opus-4-7`/`claude-sonnet-4-7` and the candidate alt from `gpt-5.4-alt` to `gpt-5.5-alt` in `openclaw-release-checks.yml` and `qa-live-transports-convex.yml`, matching the active Opus 4.7 / GPT-5.5 defaults already used elsewhere on main. Carries forward the surface-bump portion of #74290. Thanks @100yenadmin.
+- QA-lab/scenarios: raise the `approval-turn-tool-followthrough` per-turn fallback timeouts from 20s/30s to 60s so cold mock-gateway parity runs do not flake on the approval-turn chain. Carries forward the timeout-bump portion of #74290. Thanks @100yenadmin.
+- Gateway/restart continuation: treat routed post-reboot agent turns as trusted internal continuations while preserving the original Telegram topic route, and retry briefly when the previous run is still shutting down, so owner-only tools remain available for chained restart workflows after reboot.
+- MS Teams: normalize pre-thread-qualified route session keys before deriving channel-thread lanes so cached route reuse cannot create malformed mixed `:thread:OLD:thread:NEW` sessions. Fixes #66771. (#78850) Thanks @harrisali0101.
 - Agents/compaction: keep the recent tail after manual `/compact` when Pi returns an empty or no-op compaction summary, preventing blank checkpoints from replacing the live context.
 - Native commands: handle slash commands before workspace and agent-reply bootstrap so Telegram `/status` and other command-only native replies do not wait behind full agent turn setup.
 - Telegram/groups: include the recent local chat window and nearby reply-target window as generic inbound context so stale reply ancestry does not overshadow the live group conversation.

+<Steps>
+  <Step title="Publish to ClawHub or npm">
+    Your plugin must be installable via `openclaw plugins install \<package-name\>`.
+    Publish to [ClawHub](/clawhub) unless you specifically need npm-only
+    distribution.
+    See [Building Plugins](/plugins/building-plugins) for the full guide.
+
+  </Step>
+
+  <Step title="Host on GitHub">
+    Source code must be in a public repository with setup docs and an issue
+    tracker.
+
+  </Step>
+
+  <Step title="Use docs PRs only for source-doc changes">
+    You do not need a docs PR just to make your plugin discoverable. Publish it
+    on ClawHub instead.
+
+    Open a docs PR only when OpenClaw's source docs need an actual content
+    change, such as correcting install guidance or adding cross-repo
+    documentation that belongs in the main docs set.

-summary: "OpenClaw code mode: an opt-in exec/wait tool surface backed by QuickJS-WASI and a hidden run-scoped tool catalog"
-title: "Code mode"
-sidebarTitle: "Code mode"
-read_when:
-  - You want to enable OpenClaw code mode for an agent run
-  - You need to explain why code mode is different from Codex Code mode
-  - You are reviewing the exec/wait contract, QuickJS-WASI sandbox, TypeScript transform, or hidden tool-catalog bridge
----
-
-Code mode is an experimental OpenClaw agent-runtime feature. It is off by
-default. When you enable it, OpenClaw changes what the model sees for one run:
-instead of exposing every enabled tool schema directly, the model sees only
-`exec` and `wait`.
-
-This page documents OpenClaw code mode. It is not Codex Code mode. Codex Code
-mode is part of the Codex coding harness and has its own project workspace,
-runtime, tools, and execution semantics. Codex Code mode and Codex-native
-dynamic tool search are stable Codex harness surfaces. OpenClaw code mode is an
-OpenClaw-owned experimental tool-surface adapter for generic OpenClaw runs. It
-uses `quickjs-wasi`, a hidden OpenClaw tool catalog, and the normal OpenClaw
-tool executor.
-
-## What is this?
-
-OpenClaw code mode lets the model write a small JavaScript or TypeScript program
-instead of choosing directly from a long list of tools.
-
-When code mode is active:
-
-- The model-visible tool list is exactly `exec` and `wait`.
-- `exec` evaluates model-generated JavaScript or TypeScript in a constrained
-  QuickJS-WASI worker.
-- Normal OpenClaw tools are hidden from the model prompt and exposed inside the
-  guest program through `ALL_TOOLS` and `tools`.
-- Guest code can search the hidden catalog, describe a tool, and call a tool
-  through the same OpenClaw execution path used by normal agent turns.
-- `wait` resumes a suspended code-mode run when nested tool calls are still
-  pending.
-
-The important distinction: code mode changes the model-facing orchestration
-surface. It does not replace OpenClaw tools, plugin tools, MCP tools, auth,
-approval policy, channel behavior, or model selection.
-
-## Why is this good?
-
-Code mode makes large tool catalogs easier for models to use.
-
-- Smaller prompt surface: providers receive two control tools instead of dozens
-  or hundreds of full tool schemas.
-- Better orchestration: the model can use loops, joins, small transforms,
-  conditional logic, and parallel nested tool calls inside one code cell.
-- Provider neutral: it works for OpenClaw, plugin, MCP, and client tools without
-  depending on provider-native code execution.
-- Existing policy stays in force: nested tool calls still go through OpenClaw
-  policy, approvals, hooks, session context, and audit paths.
-- Clear failure mode: when code mode is explicitly enabled and the runtime is
-  unavailable, OpenClaw fails closed instead of falling back to broad direct tool
-  exposure.
-
-Code mode is especially useful for agents with a large enabled tool catalog or
-for workflows where the model repeatedly needs to search, combine, and call
-tools before producing an answer.
-
-## How to enable it
-
-Add `tools.codeMode.enabled: true` to the agent or runtime config:
-
-```json5
-{
-  tools: {
-    codeMode: {
-      enabled: true,
-    },
-  },
-}
-```
-
-The shorthand is also accepted:
-
-```json5
-{
-  tools: {
-    codeMode: true,
-  },
-}
-```
-
-Code mode remains off when `tools.codeMode` is omitted, `false`, or an object
-without `enabled: true`.
-
-Use explicit limits when you want tighter bounds:
-
-```json5
-{
-  tools: {
-    codeMode: {
-      enabled: true,
-      timeoutMs: 10000,
-      memoryLimitBytes: 67108864,
-      maxOutputBytes: 65536,
-      maxSnapshotBytes: 10485760,
-      maxPendingToolCalls: 16,
-      snapshotTtlSeconds: 900,
-      searchDefaultLimit: 8,
-      maxSearchLimit: 50,
-    },
-  },
-}
-```
-
-To confirm the model payload shape while debugging, run the Gateway with
-targeted logging:
-
-```bash
-OPENCLAW_DEBUG_CODE_MODE=1 \
-OPENCLAW_DEBUG_MODEL_TRANSPORT=1 \
-OPENCLAW_DEBUG_MODEL_PAYLOAD=tools \
-openclaw gateway
-```
-
-With code mode active, the logged model-facing tool names should be `exec` and
-`wait`. If you need the redacted provider payload, add
-`OPENCLAW_DEBUG_MODEL_PAYLOAD=full-redacted` for a short debugging session.
-
-## Technical tour
-
-The rest of this page describes the runtime contract and implementation details.
-It is intended for maintainers, plugin authors debugging tool exposure, and
-operators validating high-risk deployments.
-
-## Runtime status
-
-- Runtime: [`quickjs-wasi`](https://github.com/vercel-labs/quickjs-wasi).
-- Default state: disabled.
-- Stability: experimental OpenClaw surface; Codex Code mode is a separate stable
-  Codex harness surface.
-- Target surface: generic OpenClaw agent runs.
-- Security posture: model code is hostile.
-- User-facing promise: enabling code mode never silently falls back to broad
-  direct tool exposure.
-
-## Scope
-
-Code mode owns the model-facing orchestration shape for a prepared run. It does
-not own model selection, channel behavior, auth, tool policy, or tool
-implementations.
-
-In scope:
-
-- model-visible `exec` and `wait` tool definitions
-- hidden tool catalog construction
-- JavaScript and TypeScript guest execution
-- QuickJS-WASI worker runtime
-- host callbacks for catalog search, schema describe, and tool call
-- resumable state for suspended guest programs
-- output, timeout, memory, pending-call, and snapshot limits
-- telemetry and trajectory projection for nested tool calls
-
-Out of scope:
-
-- provider-native remote code execution
-- shell execution semantics
-- changing existing tool authorization
-- persistent user-authored scripts
-- package manager, file, network, or module access in guest code
-- direct reuse of Codex Code mode internals
-
-Provider-owned tools such as remote Python sandboxes remain separate tools. See
-[Code execution](/tools/code-execution).
-
-## Terms
-
-**Code mode** is the OpenClaw runtime mode that hides normal model tools and
-exposes only `exec` and `wait`.
-
-**Guest runtime** is the QuickJS-WASI JavaScript VM that evaluates model code.
-
-**Host bridge** is the narrow JSON-compatible callback surface from guest code
-back into OpenClaw.
-
-**Catalog** is the run-scoped list of effective tools after normal tool policy,
-plugin, MCP, and client-tool resolution.
-
-**Nested tool call** is a tool call made from guest code through the host bridge.
-
-**Snapshot** is serialized QuickJS-WASI VM state saved so `wait` can continue a
-suspended code-mode run.
-
-## Configuration
-
-`tools.codeMode.enabled` is the activation gate. Setting other code-mode fields
-does not enable the feature.
-
-Supported fields:
-
-- `enabled`: boolean. Default `false`. Enables code mode only when `true`.
-- `runtime`: `"quickjs-wasi"`. Only supported runtime.
-- `mode`: `"only"`. Exposes `exec` and `wait`, hides normal model tools.
-- `languages`: array of `"javascript"` and `"typescript"`. Default includes
-  both.
-- `timeoutMs`: wall-clock cap for one `exec` or `wait`. Default `10000`.
-  Runtime clamp: `100` to `60000`.
-- `memoryLimitBytes`: QuickJS heap cap. Default `67108864`. Runtime clamp:
-  `1048576` to `1073741824`.
-- `maxOutputBytes`: cap for returned text, JSON, and logs. Default `65536`.
-  Runtime clamp: `1024` to `10485760`.
-- `maxSnapshotBytes`: cap for serialized VM snapshots. Default `10485760`.
-  Runtime clamp: `1024` to `268435456`.
-- `maxPendingToolCalls`: cap for concurrent nested tool calls. Default `16`.
-  Runtime clamp: `1` to `128`.
-- `snapshotTtlSeconds`: how long a suspended VM can be resumed. Default `900`.
-  Runtime clamp: `1` to `86400`.
-- `searchDefaultLimit`: default hidden-catalog search result count. Default `8`.
-  Runtime clamps this to `maxSearchLimit`.
-- `maxSearchLimit`: maximum hidden-catalog search result count. Default `50`.
-  Runtime clamp: `1` to `50`.
-
-If code mode is enabled but QuickJS-WASI cannot load, OpenClaw fails closed for
-that run. It does not silently expose normal tools as a fallback.
-
-## Activation
-
-Code mode is evaluated after the effective tool policy is known and before the
-final model request is assembled.
-
-Activation order:
-
-1. Resolve the agent, model, provider, sandbox, channel, sender, and run policy.
-2. Build the effective OpenClaw tool list.
-3. Add eligible plugin, MCP, and client tools.
-4. Apply allow and deny policy.
-5. If `tools.codeMode.enabled` is false, continue with normal tool exposure.
-6. If enabled and tools are active for the run, register the effective tools in
-   the code-mode catalog.
-7. Remove all normal tools from the model-visible tool list.
-8. Add code-mode `exec` and `wait`.
-
-Runs that intentionally have no tools, such as raw model calls, `disableTools`,
-or an empty allowlist, do not activate the code-mode surface even if the config
-contains `tools.codeMode.enabled: true`.
-
-The code-mode catalog is run-scoped. It must not leak tools from another agent,
-session, sender, or run.
-
-## Model-visible tools
-
-When code mode is active, the model sees exactly these top-level tools:
-
-- `exec`
-- `wait`
-
-All other enabled tools are hidden from the model-facing tool list and registered
-in the code-mode catalog.
-
-The model should use `exec` for tool orchestration, data joining, loops,
-parallel nested calls, and structured transformations. The model should use
-`wait` only when `exec` returns a resumable `waiting` result.
-
-## `exec`
-
-`exec` starts a code-mode cell and returns one result. The input code is model
-generated and must be treated as hostile.
-
-Input:
-
-```typescript
-type CodeModeExecInput = {
-  code: string;
-  language?: "javascript" | "typescript";
-};
-```
-
-Input rules:
-
-- `code` is required and must be non-empty.
-- `language` defaults to `"javascript"`.
-- If `language` is `"typescript"`, OpenClaw transpiles before evaluation.
-- `exec` rejects `import`, `require`, dynamic import, and module-loader patterns
-  in v1.
-- `exec` does not expose the normal shell `exec` implementation recursively.
-
-Result:
-
-```typescript
-type CodeModeResult = CodeModeCompletedResult | CodeModeWaitingResult | CodeModeFailedResult;
-
-type CodeModeCompletedResult = {
-  status: "completed";
-  value: unknown;
-  output?: CodeModeOutput[];
-  telemetry: CodeModeTelemetry;
-};
-
-type CodeModeWaitingResult = {
-  status: "waiting";
-  runId: string;
-  reason: "pending_tools" | "yield";
-  pendingToolCalls?: CodeModePendingToolCall[];
-  output?: CodeModeOutput[];
-  telemetry: CodeModeTelemetry;
-};
-
-type CodeModeFailedResult = {
-  status: "failed";
-  error: string;
-  code?: CodeModeErrorCode;
-  output?: CodeModeOutput[];
-  telemetry: CodeModeTelemetry;
-};
-```
-
-`exec` returns `waiting` when the QuickJS VM suspends with resumable state. The
-result includes a `runId` for `wait`.
-
-`exec` returns `completed` only when the guest VM has no pending work and the
-final value is JSON-compatible after OpenClaw's output adapter runs.
-
-## `wait`
-
-`wait` continues a suspended code-mode VM.
-
-Input:
-
-```typescript
-type CodeModeWaitInput = {
-  runId: string;
-};
-```
-
-The output is the same `CodeModeResult` union returned by `exec`.
-
-`wait` exists because nested OpenClaw tools can be slow, interactive, approval
-gated, or stream partial updates. The model should not need to keep one long
-`exec` call open while the host waits for external work.
-
-QuickJS-WASI snapshot and restore is the v1 resume mechanism:
-
-1. `exec` evaluates code until completion, failure, or suspension.
-2. On suspension, OpenClaw snapshots the QuickJS VM and records pending host
-   work.
-3. When pending work settles, `wait` restores the VM snapshot.
-4. OpenClaw re-registers host callbacks by stable names.
-5. OpenClaw delivers nested tool results into the restored VM.
-6. OpenClaw drains QuickJS pending jobs.
-7. `wait` returns `completed`, `failed`, or another `waiting` result.
-
-Snapshots are runtime state, not user artifacts. They are size-limited, expired,
-and scoped to the run and session that created them.
-
-`wait` fails when:
-
-- `runId` is unknown.
-- the snapshot expired.
-- the parent run or session was aborted.
-- the caller is not in the same run/session scope.
-- QuickJS-WASI restore fails.
-- restoring would exceed configured limits.
-
-## Guest runtime API
-
-The guest runtime exposes a small global API:
-
-```typescript
-declare const ALL_TOOLS: ToolCatalogEntry[];
-declare const tools: ToolCatalog;
-
-declare function text(value: unknown): void;
-declare function json(value: unknown): void;
-declare function yield_control(reason?: string): Promise<void>;
-```
-
-`ALL_TOOLS` is compact metadata for the run-scoped catalog. It does not contain
-full schemas by default.
-
-```typescript
-type ToolCatalogEntry = {
-  id: string;
-  name: string;
-  label?: string;
-  description: string;
-  source: "openclaw" | "plugin" | "mcp" | "client";
-  sourceName?: string;
-};
-```
-
-Full schema is loaded only on demand:
-
-```typescript
-type ToolCatalogEntryWithSchema = ToolCatalogEntry & {
-  parameters: unknown;
-};
-```
-
-Catalog helpers:
-
-```typescript
-type ToolCatalog = {
-  search(query: string, options?: { limit?: number }): Promise<ToolCatalogEntry[]>;
-  describe(id: string): Promise<ToolCatalogEntryWithSchema>;
-  call(id: string, input?: unknown): Promise<unknown>;
-  [safeToolName: string]: unknown;
-};
-```
-
-Convenience tool functions are installed only for unambiguous safe names:
-
-```typescript
-const files = await tools.search("read local file");
-const fileRead = await tools.describe(files[0].id);
-const content = await tools.call(fileRead.id, { path: "README.md" });
-
-// If the hidden catalog has an unambiguous `web_search` entry:
-const hits = await tools.web_search({ query: "OpenClaw code mode" });
-```
-
-The guest runtime must not expose host objects directly. Inputs and outputs cross
-the bridge as JSON-compatible values with explicit size caps.
-
-## Output API
-
-`text(value)` appends human-readable output to the `output` array.
-
-`json(value)` appends a structured output item after JSON-compatible
-serialization.
-
-The guest code's final returned value becomes `value` in a `completed` result.
-
-Output item:
-
-```typescript
-type CodeModeOutput = { type: "text"; text: string } | { type: "json"; value: unknown };
-```
-
-Output rules:
-
-- output order matches guest calls
-- output is capped by `maxOutputBytes`
-- non-serializable values are converted to plain strings or errors
-- binary values are not supported in v1
-- images and files travel through ordinary OpenClaw tools, not through the
-  code-mode bridge
-
-## Tool catalog
-
-The hidden catalog includes tools after effective policy filtering:
-
-1. OpenClaw core tools.
-2. Bundled plugin tools.
-3. External plugin tools.
-4. MCP tools.
-5. Client-provided tools for the current run.
-
-Catalog ids are stable within one run and deterministic across equivalent tool
-sets when possible.
-
-Recommended id shape:
-
-```text
-<source>:<owner>:<tool-name>
-```
-
-Examples:
-
-```text
-openclaw:core:message
-plugin:browser:browser_request
-mcp:github:create_issue
-client:app:select_file
-```
-
-The catalog omits code-mode control tools:
-
-- `exec`
-- `wait`
-- `tool_search_code`
-- `tool_search`
-- `tool_describe`
-- `tool_call`
-
-This prevents recursion and keeps the model-facing contract narrow.
-
-## Tool Search interaction
-
-Code mode supersedes the PI Tool Search model surface for runs where it is
-active.
-
-When `tools.codeMode.enabled` is true and code mode activates:
-
-- OpenClaw does not expose `tool_search_code`, `tool_search`, `tool_describe`,
-  or `tool_call` as model-visible tools.
-- The same cataloging idea moves inside the guest runtime.
-- The guest runtime receives compact `ALL_TOOLS` metadata and search, describe,
-  and call helpers.
-- Nested calls dispatch through the same OpenClaw executor path that Tool Search
-  uses.
-
-The existing [Tool Search](/tools/tool-search) page describes the PI compact
-catalog bridge. Code mode is the generic OpenClaw alternative for runs that can
-use `exec` and `wait`.
-
-## Tool names and collisions
-
-The model-visible `exec` tool is the code-mode tool. If the normal OpenClaw
-shell `exec` tool is enabled, it is hidden from the model and cataloged like any
-other tool.
-
-Inside the guest runtime:
-
-- `tools.call("openclaw:core:exec", input)` can call the shell exec tool if
-  policy allows it.
-- `tools.exec(...)` is installed only if the shell exec catalog entry has an
-  unambiguous safe name.
-- the code-mode `exec` tool is never recursively available through `tools`.
-
-If two tools normalize to the same safe convenience name, OpenClaw omits the
-convenience function and requires `tools.call(id, input)`.
-
-## Nested tool execution
-
-Every nested tool call crosses the host bridge and re-enters OpenClaw.
-
-Nested execution preserves:
-
-- active agent id
-- session id and session key
-- sender and channel context
-- sandbox policy
-- approval policy
-- plugin `before_tool_call` hooks
-- abort signal
-- streaming updates where available
-- trajectory and audit events
-
-Nested calls project into the transcript as real tool calls so support bundles
-can show what happened. The projection identifies the parent code-mode tool call
-and the nested tool id.
-
-Parallel nested calls are allowed up to `maxPendingToolCalls`.
-
-## Runtime state
-
-Each code-mode run has a state machine:
-
-- `running`: VM is executing or nested calls are in flight.
-- `waiting`: VM snapshot exists and can be resumed with `wait`.
-- `completed`: final value returned; snapshot deleted.
-- `failed`: error returned; snapshot deleted.
-- `expired`: snapshot or pending state exceeded retention; cannot resume.
-- `aborted`: parent run/session cancelled; snapshot deleted.
-
-State is scoped by agent run, session, and tool call id. A `wait` call from a
-different run or session fails.
-
-Snapshot storage is bounded:
-
-- maximum snapshot bytes per run
-- maximum live snapshots per process
-- snapshot TTL
-- cleanup on run end
-- cleanup on Gateway shutdown where persistence is not supported
-
-## QuickJS-WASI runtime
-
-OpenClaw loads `quickjs-wasi` as a direct dependency in the owning package. The
-runtime does not rely on a transitive copy installed for proxy, PAC, or other
-unrelated dependencies.
-
-Runtime responsibilities:
-
-- compile or load the QuickJS-WASI WebAssembly module
-- create one isolated VM per code-mode run or resume
-- register host callbacks by stable names
-- set memory and interrupt limits
-- evaluate JavaScript
-- drain pending jobs
-- snapshot suspended VM state
-- restore snapshots for `wait`
-- dispose VM handles and snapshots after terminal states
-
-The runtime executes outside OpenClaw's main event loop in a worker. A guest
-infinite loop must not block the Gateway process indefinitely.
-
-## TypeScript
-
-TypeScript support is a source transform only:
-
-- accepted input: one TypeScript code string
-- output: JavaScript string evaluated by QuickJS-WASI
-- no typechecking
-- no module resolution
-- no `import` or `require` in v1
-- diagnostics are returned as `failed` results
-
-The TypeScript compiler is loaded lazily only for TypeScript cells. Plain
-JavaScript cells and disabled code mode do not load the compiler.
-
-The transform should preserve useful line numbers where feasible.
-
-## Security boundary
-
-Model code is hostile. The runtime uses defense in depth:
-
-- run QuickJS-WASI outside the main event loop
-- load `quickjs-wasi` as a direct dependency, not through Codex or a transitive
-  package
-- no filesystem, network, subprocess, module import, environment variables, or
-  host global objects in the guest
-- use QuickJS memory and interrupt limits
-- enforce parent-process wall-clock timeout
-- enforce output, snapshot, log, and pending-call caps
-- serialize host bridge values through a narrow JSON adapter
-- convert host errors into plain guest errors, never host realm objects
-- drop snapshots on timeout, abort, session end, or expiry
-- reject recursive access to `exec`, `wait`, and Tool Search control tools
-- prevent convenience-name collisions from shadowing catalog helpers
-
-The sandbox is one security layer. Operators can still need OS-level hardening
-for high-risk deployments.
-
-## Error codes
-
-```typescript
-type CodeModeErrorCode =
-  | "runtime_unavailable"
-  | "invalid_config"
-  | "invalid_input"
-  | "unsupported_language"
-  | "typescript_transform_failed"
-  | "module_access_denied"
-  | "timeout"
-  | "memory_limit_exceeded"
-  | "output_limit_exceeded"
-  | "snapshot_limit_exceeded"
-  | "snapshot_expired"
-  | "snapshot_restore_failed"
-  | "too_many_pending_tool_calls"
-  | "nested_tool_failed"
-  | "aborted"
-  | "internal_error";
-```
-
-Errors returned to the guest are plain data. Host `Error` instances, stack
-objects, prototypes, and host functions do not cross into QuickJS.
-
-## Telemetry
-
-Code mode reports:
-
-- visible tool names sent to the model
-- hidden catalog size and source breakdown
-- `exec` and `wait` counts
-- nested search, describe, and call counts
-- nested tool ids called
-- timeout, memory, snapshot, and output cap failures
-- snapshot lifecycle events
-
-Telemetry must not include secrets, raw environment values, or unredacted tool
-inputs beyond existing OpenClaw trajectory policy.
-
-## Debugging
-
-Use targeted model transport logging when code mode behaves differently from a
-normal tool run:
-
-```bash
-OPENCLAW_DEBUG_CODE_MODE=1 \
-OPENCLAW_DEBUG_MODEL_TRANSPORT=1 \
-OPENCLAW_DEBUG_MODEL_PAYLOAD=tools \
-OPENCLAW_DEBUG_SSE=events \
-openclaw gateway
-```
-
-For payload-shape debugging, use `OPENCLAW_DEBUG_MODEL_PAYLOAD=full-redacted`.
-This logs a capped, redacted JSON snapshot of the model request; it should only
-be used while debugging because prompts and message text can still appear.
-
-For stream debugging, use `OPENCLAW_DEBUG_SSE=peek` to log the first five
-redacted SSE events. Code mode also fails closed if the final provider payload
-does not contain exactly `exec` and `wait` after the code-mode surface has
-activated.
-
-## Implementation layout
-
-Implementation units:
-
-- config contract: `tools.codeMode`
-- catalog builder: effective tools to compact entries and id map
-- model-surface adapter: replace visible tools with `exec` and `wait`
-- QuickJS-WASI runtime adapter: load, eval, snapshot, restore, dispose
-- worker supervisor: timeout, abort, crash isolation
-- bridge adapter: JSON-safe host callbacks and result delivery
-- TypeScript transform adapter
-- snapshot store: TTL, size caps, run/session scoping
-- trajectory projection for nested tool calls
-- telemetry counters and diagnostics
-
-The implementation reuses catalog and executor concepts from Tool Search, but
-does not use the `node:vm` child as the sandbox.
-
-## Validation checklist
-
-Code mode coverage should prove:
-
-- disabled config leaves existing tool exposure unchanged
-- object config without `enabled: true` leaves code mode disabled
-- enabled config exposes only `exec` and `wait` to the model when tools are
-  active for the run
-- raw no-tool runs, `disableTools`, and empty allowlists do not trigger code-mode
-  payload enforcement
-- all effective tools appear in `ALL_TOOLS`
-- denied tools do not appear in `ALL_TOOLS`
-- `tools.search`, `tools.describe`, and `tools.call` work for OpenClaw tools
-- Tool Search control tools are hidden from both the model surface and the hidden
-  catalog
-- nested calls preserve approval and hook behavior
-- shell `exec` is hidden from the model but callable by catalog id when allowed
-- recursive code-mode `exec` and `wait` are not callable from guest code
-- TypeScript input is transformed and evaluated without loading TypeScript on
-  disabled or JavaScript-only paths
-- `import`, `require`, filesystem, network, and environment access fail
-- infinite loops time out and cannot block the Gateway
-- memory cap failures terminate the guest VM
-- output and snapshot caps are enforced for completed and suspended calls
-- `wait` resumes a suspended snapshot and returns the final value
-- expired, aborted, wrong-session, and unknown `runId` values fail
-- transcript replay and persistence preserve code-mode control calls
-- transcript and telemetry show nested tool calls clearly
-
-## E2E test plan
-
-Run these as integration or end-to-end tests when changing the runtime:
-
-1. Start a Gateway with `tools.codeMode.enabled: false`.
-2. Send an agent turn with a small direct tool set.
-3. Assert the model-visible tools are unchanged.
-4. Restart with `tools.codeMode.enabled: true`.
-5. Send an agent turn with OpenClaw, plugin, MCP, and client test tools.
-6. Assert the model-visible tool list is exactly `exec`, `wait`.
-7. In `exec`, read `ALL_TOOLS` and assert the effective test tools are present.
-8. In `exec`, call `tools.search`, `tools.describe`, and `tools.call`.
-9. Assert denied tools are absent and cannot be called by guessed id.
-10. Start a nested tool call that resolves after `exec` returns `waiting`.
-11. Call `wait` and assert the restored VM receives the tool result.
-12. Assert the final answer contains output produced after restore.
-13. Assert timeout, abort, and snapshot expiry clean up runtime state.
-14. Export trajectory and assert nested calls are visible under the parent
-    code-mode call.
-
-Docs-only changes to this page should still run `pnpm check:docs`.
