 ### Changes
 
-- Providers/Amazon Bedrock Mantle: add a bundled OpenAI-compatible Mantle provider with bearer-token discovery, automatic OSS model catalog loading, and Bedrock Mantle region detection for hosted GPT-OSS, Qwen, Kimi, GLM, and similar routes. (#61296) Thanks @wirjo.
-- Providers/Amazon Bedrock: discover regional and global inference profiles, inherit their backing model capabilities, and inject the Bedrock request region automatically so cross-region Claude profiles work without manual provider overrides. (#61299) Thanks @wirjo.
-- Providers/Anthropic: remove the Claude CLI backend, have `openclaw doctor` convert stale `anthropic:claude-cli` state back to Anthropic token/OAuth when stored credential bytes still exist (or delete the stale Claude CLI config when they do not), and steer Anthropic setup to API keys or legacy setup-token with the correct Extra Usage billing guidance.
-- Providers/Anthropic: remove setup-token from new onboarding and auth-command setup paths, keep existing configured legacy token profiles runnable, and steer new Anthropic setup to API keys.
-- Providers/Fireworks: add a bundled Fireworks AI provider plugin with `FIREWORKS_API_KEY` onboarding, Fire Pass Kimi defaults, and dynamic Fireworks model-id support.
-- Providers/Qwen: add a bundled Qwen provider plugin with dedicated onboarding, media understanding, and video generation support.
-- Providers/StepFun: add the bundled StepFun provider plugin with standard and Step Plan endpoints, China/global onboarding choices, `step-3.5-flash` on both catalogs, and `step-3.5-flash-2603` currently exposed on Step Plan. (#60032) Thanks @hengm3467.
-- MiniMax/TTS: add a bundled MiniMax speech provider backed by the T2A v2 API so speech synthesis can run through MiniMax-native voices and auth. (#55921) Thanks @duncanita.
-- Providers/Ollama: add a bundled Ollama Web Search provider for key-free `web_search` via your configured Ollama host and `ollama signin`. (#59318) Thanks @BruceMacD.
-- Tools/web_search: add a bundled MiniMax Search provider backed by the Coding Plan search API, with region reuse from `MINIMAX_API_HOST` and plugin-owned credential config. (#54648) Thanks @fengmk2.
-- Memory/dreaming (experimental): add weighted short-term recall promotion, managed dreaming modes (`off|core|rem|deep`), a `/dreaming` command, Dreams UI, multilingual conceptual tagging, and doctor/status repair support so durable memory promotion can run in the background with less manual setup. (#60569, #60697) Thanks @vignesh07.
+- Memory/dreaming (experimental): add weighted short-term recall promotion, a `/dreaming` command, Dreams UI, multilingual conceptual tagging, and doctor/status repair support, while refactoring dreaming from competing modes into three cooperative phases (light, deep, REM) with independent schedules and recovery behavior so durable memory promotion can run in the background with less manual setup. (#60569, #60697) Thanks @vignesh07.
+- Memory/dreaming: add configurable aging controls (`recencyHalfLifeDays`, `maxAgeDays`) plus optional verbose logging so operators can tune recall decay and inspect promotion decisions more easily.
+- Memory/dreaming: add REM preview tooling (`openclaw memory rem-harness`, `promote-explain`), surface possible lasting truths during REM staging, and make deep promotion replay-safe so reruns reconcile instead of duplicating `MEMORY.md` entries.
+- Agents/video generation: add the built-in `video_generate` tool so agents can create videos through configured providers and return the generated media directly in the reply.
+- Control UI/multilingual: add localized control UI support for Simplified Chinese, Traditional Chinese, Brazilian Portuguese, German, Spanish, Japanese, Korean, French, Turkish, Indonesian, Polish, and Ukrainian. Thanks @vincentkoc.
 - iOS/exec approvals: add generic APNs approval notifications that open an in-app exec approval modal, fetch command details only after authenticated operator reconnect, and clear stale notification state when the approval resolves. (#60239) Thanks @ngutman.
 - Matrix/exec approvals: add Matrix-native exec approval prompts with account-scoped approvers, channel-or-DM delivery, and room-thread aware resolution handling. (#58635) Thanks @gumadeiras.
 - Control UI/skills: add ClawHub search, detail, and install flows directly in the Skills panel. (#60134) Thanks @samzong.
-- Control UI/multilingual: add localized control UI support for Simplified Chinese, Traditional Chinese, Brazilian Portuguese, German, Spanish, Japanese, Korean, French, Turkish, Indonesian, and Polish. Thanks @vincentkoc.
+- Plugins: add plugin-config TUI prompts to guided onboarding/setup flows, and add `openclaw plugins install --force` so existing plugin and hook-pack targets can be replaced without using the dangerous-code override flag. (#60590, #60544)
 - Channels/context visibility: add configurable `contextVisibility` per channel (`all`, `allowlist`, `allowlist_quote`) so supplemental quote, thread, and fetched history context can be filtered by sender allowlists instead of always passing through as received.
-- Plugins/install: add `openclaw plugins install --force` to overwrite existing plugin and hook-pack install targets without using the dangerous-code override flag. (#60544) Thanks @gumadeiras.
-- Plugins/onboarding: add plugin config TUI prompts to onboard and configure wizards so more plugin setup can stay in the guided flow. (#60590) Thanks @odysseus0.
-- Config/schema: enrich the exported `openclaw config schema` JSON Schema with field titles and descriptions so editors, agents, and other schema consumers receive the same config help metadata. (#60067) Thanks @solavrc.
+- Providers: add bundled Qwen, Fireworks AI, and StepFun providers, plus MiniMax TTS, Ollama Web Search, and MiniMax Search integrations for chat, speech, and search workflows. (#60032, #55921, #59318, #54648)
+- Providers/Amazon Bedrock: add bundled Mantle support plus inference-profile discovery and automatic request-region injection so Bedrock-hosted Claude, GPT-OSS, Qwen, Kimi, GLM, and similar routes work with less manual setup. (#61296, #61299) Thanks @wirjo.
 - Providers/request overrides: add shared model and media request transport overrides across OpenAI-, Anthropic-, Google-, and compatible provider paths, including headers, auth, proxy, and TLS controls. (#60200)
-- Prompt caching: keep prompt prefixes more reusable across transport fallback, deterministic MCP tool ordering, compaction, and embedded image history so follow-up turns hit cache more reliably. (#58036, #58037, #58038, #59054, #60603, #60691) Thanks @bcherny.
-- Agents/Claude CLI: expose OpenClaw tools to background Claude CLI runs through a loopback MCP bridge that reuses gateway tool policy, honors session/account/channel scoping, and only advertises the bridge when the local runtime is actually live. (#35676) Thanks @mylukin.
-- Agents/Claude CLI: switch bundled Claude CLI runs to stdin + `stream-json` partial-message streaming so prompts stop riding argv, long replies show live progress, and final session/usage metadata still land cleanly.
-- ACPX/runtime: embed the ACP runtime directly in the bundled `acpx` plugin, remove the extra external ACP CLI hop, and harden live ACP session binding and reuse. (#61319)
+- Prompt caching: keep prompt prefixes more reusable across transport fallback, deterministic MCP tool ordering, compaction, embedded image history, normalized system-prompt fingerprints, `openclaw status --verbose` cache diagnostics, and the removal of duplicate in-band tool inventories from agent system prompts so follow-up turns hit cache more reliably. (#58036, #58037, #58038, #59054, #60603, #60691) Thanks @bcherny and @vincentkoc.
+- Providers/OpenAI: add forward-compat `openai-codex/gpt-5.4-mini`, an opt-in GPT personality, and provider-owned GPT-5 prompt contributions so Codex/GPT runs stay cache-stable and compatible with bundled catalog lag.
+- Providers/Anthropic: remove the Claude CLI backend and setup-token from new onboarding, keep existing configured legacy profiles runnable, and have `openclaw doctor` repair or remove stale `anthropic:claude-cli` state during migration.
 - Agents/progress: add experimental structured plan updates and structured execution item events so compatible UIs can show clearer step-by-step progress during long-running runs.
-- Agents/tool prompts: remove the duplicate in-band tool inventory from agent system prompts so tool-calling models rely on the structured tool definitions as the single source of truth, improving prompt stability and reducing stale tool guidance.
+- Agents/Claude CLI: expose OpenClaw tools to background Claude CLI runs through a loopback MCP bridge and switch bundled runs to stdin + `stream-json` partial-message streaming so prompts stop riding argv, long replies show live progress, and final session/usage metadata still land cleanly. (#35676) Thanks @mylukin.
+- ACPX/runtime: embed the ACP runtime directly in the bundled `acpx` plugin, remove the extra external ACP CLI hop, harden live ACP session binding and reuse, and add a generic `reply_dispatch` hook so bundled plugins like ACPX can own reply interception without hardcoded ACP paths in core auto-reply routing. (#61319)
+- Config/schema: enrich the exported `openclaw config schema` JSON Schema with field titles and descriptions so editors, agents, and other schema consumers receive the same config help metadata. (#60067) Thanks @solavrc.
 - Agents/cache: diagnostics: add prompt-cache break diagnostics, trace live cache scenarios through embedded runner paths, and show cache reuse explicitly in `openclaw status --verbose`. Thanks @vincentkoc.
 - Agents/cache: stabilize cache-relevant system prompt fingerprints by normalizing equivalent structured prompt whitespace, line endings, hook-added system context, and runtime capability ordering so semantically unchanged prompts reuse KV/cache more reliably. Thanks @vincentkoc.
+- Agents/tool prompts: remove the duplicate in-band tool inventory from agent system prompts so tool-calling models rely on the structured tool definitions as the single source of truth, improving prompt stability and reducing stale tool guidance.
+- Tools/video generation: add bundled xAI (`grok-imagine-video`) and Alibaba Model Studio Wan video providers, plus live-test/default model wiring for both.
 - Providers/CLI: remove bundled CLI text-provider backends and the `agents.defaults.cliBackends` surface, while keeping ACP harness sessions and Gemini media understanding on the native bundled providers.
-- Providers/OpenAI Codex: add forward-compat `openai-codex/gpt-5.4-mini` synthesis across provider runtime, model catalog, and model listing so Codex mini works before bundled Pi catalog updates land.
-- Providers/OpenAI: add an opt-in GPT personality and move GPT-5 prompt tuning onto provider-owned system-prompt contributions so cache-stable guidance stays above the prompt cache boundary and embedded runner paths reuse the same provider-specific prompt behavior.
-- Docs/IRC: replace public IRC hostname examples with `irc.example.com` and recommend private servers for bot coordination while listing common public networks for intentional use.
-- Memory/dreaming: add configurable aging controls (`recencyHalfLifeDays`, `maxAgeDays`) plus optional verbose logging so operators can tune recall decay and inspect promotion decisions more easily.
-- Plugins/reply dispatch: add a generic `reply_dispatch` hook so bundled plugins like ACPX can own reply interception without hardcoded ACP paths in core auto-reply routing.
-- Memory/dreaming: refactor dreaming from competing modes (`off|core|rem|deep`) to three cooperative phases (light, deep, REM) with independent schedules, per-phase enable/disable, deep-only `MEMORY.md` writes, light/REM daily-note staging, deep recovery, and per-phase execution overrides.
 - Matrix/exec approvals: clarify unavailable-approval replies so Matrix no longer claims chat approvals are unsupported when native exec approvals are merely unconfigured. (#61424) Thanks @gumadeiras.
+- Docs/IRC: replace public IRC hostname examples with `irc.example.com` and recommend private servers for bot coordination while listing common public networks for intentional use.
+- Memory/dreaming: write dreaming trail content to top-level `DREAMS.md` instead of daily memory notes, update `/dreaming` help text to point there, and keep `DREAMS.md` available for explicit reads without pulling it into default recall. Thanks @davemorin.
 
 ### Fixes
 
 - Security: preserve restrictive plugin-only tool allowlists, require owner access for `/allowlist add` and `/allowlist remove`, fail closed when `before_tool_call` hooks crash, block browser SSRF redirect bypasses earlier, and keep non-interactive auth-choice inference scoped to bundled and already-trusted plugins. (#58476, #59836, #59822, #58771, #59120) Thanks @eleqtrizit and @pgondhi987.
+- Providers/OpenAI: make GPT-5 and Codex runs act sooner with lower-verbosity defaults, visible progress during tool work, and a one-shot retry when a turn only narrates the plan instead of taking action.
+- Providers/OpenAI and reply delivery: preserve native `reasoning.effort: "none"` and strict schemas where supported, add GPT-5.4 assistant `phase` metadata across replay and the Gateway `/v1/responses` layer, and keep commentary buffered until `final_answer` so web chat, session previews, embedded replies, and Telegram partials stop leaking planning text. Fixes #59150, #59643, #61282.
+- Telegram: fix current-model checks in the model picker, HTML-format non-default `/model` confirmations, explicit topic replies, persisted reaction ownership across restarts, caption-media placeholder and `file_id` preservation on download failure, and upgraded-install inbound image reads. (#60384, #60042, #59634, #59207, #59948, #59971) Thanks @sfuminya, @GitZhangChi, @dashhuang, @samzong, @v1p0r, and @neeravmakwana.
+- Telegram: restore DM voice-note preflight transcription so direct-message audio stops arriving as raw `<media:audio>` placeholders. (#61008) Thanks @manueltarouca.
+- Telegram/reasoning: only create a Telegram reasoning preview lane when the session is explicitly `reasoning:stream`, so hidden `<think>` traces from streamed replies stop surfacing as chat previews on normal sessions. Thanks @vincentkoc.
+- Telegram/native command menu: trim long menu descriptions before dropping commands so sub-100 command sets can still fit Telegram's payload budget and keep more `/` entries visible. (#61129) Thanks @neeravmakwana.
+- Discord: keep REST, webhook, and monitor traffic on the configured proxy, preserve component-only media sends, honor `@everyone` and `@here` mention gates, keep ACK reactions on the active account, and split voice connect/playback timeouts so auto-join is more reliable. (#57465, #60361, #60345) Thanks @geekhuashan.
+- Discord/reply tags: strip leaked `[[reply_to_current]]` control tags from preview text and honor explicit reply-tag threading during final delivery, so Discord replies stay attached to the triggering message instead of printing reply metadata into chat.
+- Discord/replies: replace the unshipped `replyToOnlyWhenBatched` flag with `replyToMode: "batched"` so native reply references only attach on debounced multi-message turns while explicit reply tags still work.
+- Discord/image generation: include the real generated `MEDIA:` paths in tool output, avoid duplicate plain-output media requeueing, and persist volatile workspace-generated media into durable outbound media before final reply delivery so generated image replies stop pointing at missing local files.
+- Slack: route live DM replies back to the concrete inbound DM channel while keeping persisted routing metadata user-scoped, so normal assistant replies stop disappearing when pairing and system messages still arrive. (#59030) Thanks @afurm.
+- WhatsApp: restore `channels.whatsapp.blockStreaming` and reset watchdog timeouts after reconnect so quiet chats stop falling into reconnect loops. (#60007, #60069) Thanks @MonkeyLeeT and @mcaxtr.
+- Android/Talk Mode: cancel in-flight `talk.speak` playback when speech is explicitly stopped, and restore spoken replies on both node-scoped and gateway-backed sessions by keeping reply routing and embedded transport overrides aligned with the current playback path. (#60306, #61164, #61214)
+- Voice-call/OpenAI: pass full plugin config into realtime transcription provider resolution so streaming calls can discover the bundled OpenAI realtime transcription provider again. Fixes #60936. Thanks @sliekens and @vincentkoc.
+- Matrix/exec approvals: anchor seeded approval reactions to the primary Matrix prompt event, resolve them from event metadata instead of prompt text, and clean up chunked approval prompts correctly. (#60931) Thanks @gumadeiras.
+- Matrix: recover more reliably when secret storage or recovery keys are missing by recreating secret storage during repair and backup reset, hold crypto snapshot locks during persistence, and surface explicit too-large attachment markers. (#59846, #59851, #60599, #60289) Thanks @al3mart, @emonty, and @efe-arv.
+- Matrix/DM sessions: add `channels.matrix.dm.sessionScope`, shared-session collision notices, and aligned outbound session reuse so separate Matrix DM rooms can keep distinct context when configured. (#61373) Thanks @gumadeiras.
+- Matrix: move legacy top-level `avatarUrl` into the default account during multi-account promotion and keep env-backed account setup avatar config persisted. (#61437) Thanks @gumadeiras.
+- MS Teams: download inline DM images via Graph API and preserve channel reply threading in proactive fallback. (#52212, #55198) Thanks @Ted-developer and @hyojin.
+- MS Teams: replace the deprecated Teams SDK HttpPlugin stub with `httpServerAdapter` so recurring gateway deprecation warnings stop firing and the Express 5 compatibility workaround stays on the supported SDK path. (#60939) Thanks @coolramukaka-sys.
+- Control UI/chat: add a per-session thinking-level picker in the chat header and mobile chat settings, and keep the browser bundle on UI-local thinking/session-key helpers so Safari no longer crashes on Node-only imports before rendering chat controls.
+- Sandbox/SSH: reject hardlinked files during cross-device rename fallback so EXDEV file copies preserve the same pinned file-boundary checks as direct reads.
+- Control UI: keep Stop visible during tool-only execution, preserve pending-send busy state, and clear stale ClawHub search results as soon as the query changes. (#54528, #59800, #60267) Thanks @chziyue and @frankekn.
+- Control UI/avatar: honor `ui.assistant.avatar` when serving `/avatar/:agentId` so Appearance UI avatar paths stop falling back to initials placeholders. (#60778) Thanks @hannasdev.
+- Control UI/cron: highlight the Cron refresh button while refresh is in flight so the page's loading state stays visible even when prior data remains on screen. (#60394) Thanks @coder-zhuzm.
+- Control UI/Overview: prevent gateway access token/password visibility toggle buttons from overlapping their inputs at narrow widths. (#56924) Thanks @bbddbb1.
 - Auto-reply: unify reply lifecycle ownership across preflight compaction, session rotation, CLI-backed runs, and gateway restart handling so `/stop` and same-session overlap checks target the right active turn and restart-interrupted turns return the restart notice instead of being silently dropped. (#61267) Thanks @dutifulbob.
+- Reply delivery: prevent duplicate block replies on `text_end` channels so providers that emit explicit text-end boundaries no longer double-send the same final message. (#61530)
+- Gateway/startup: default `gateway.mode` to `local` when unset, detect PID recycling in gateway lock files on Windows and macOS, and show startup progress so healthy restarts stop getting blocked by stale locks. (#54801, #60085, #59843) Thanks @BradGroux and @TonyDerek-dot.
+- Gateway/macOS: let launchd `KeepAlive` own in-process gateway restarts again, adding a short supervised-exit delay so rapid restarts avoid launchd crash-loop unloads while `openclaw gateway restart` still reports real LaunchAgent errors synchronously.
+- Gateway/macOS: re-bootstrap the LaunchAgent if `launchctl kickstart -k` unloads it during restart so failed restarts do not leave the gateway unmanaged until manual repair.
+- Gateway/macOS: recover installed-but-unloaded LaunchAgents during `openclaw gateway start` and `restart`, while still preferring live unmanaged gateways during restart recovery. (#43766) Thanks @HenryC-3.
+- Gateway/Windows scheduled tasks: preserve Task Scheduler settings on reinstall, fail loudly when `/Run` does not start, and report fast failed restarts accurately instead of pretending they timed out after 60 seconds. (#59335) Thanks @tmimmanuel.
+- Windows/restart: fall back to the installed Startup-entry launcher when the scheduled task was never registered, so `/restart` can relaunch the gateway on Windows setups where `schtasks` install fell back during onboarding. (#58943) Thanks @imechZhangLY.
+- Windows/restart: clean up stale gateway listeners before Windows self-restart and treat listener and argv probe failures as inconclusive, so scheduled-task relaunch no longer falls into an `EADDRINUSE` retry loop. (#60480) Thanks @arifahmedjoy.
+- Update/npm: prefer the npm binary that owns the installed global OpenClaw prefix so mixed Homebrew-plus-nvm setups update the right install. (#60153) Thanks @jayeshp19.
+- CLI/skills JSON: route `skills list --json`, `skills info --json`, and `skills check --json` output to stdout instead of stderr so machine-readable consumers receive JSON on the expected stream again. (#60914; fixes #57599; landed from contributor PR #57611 by @Aftabbs) Thanks @Aftabbs.
+- CLI/Commander: preserve Commander-computed exit codes for argument and help-error paths, and cover the user-argv parse mode in the regression tests so invalid CLI invocations no longer report success when exits are intercepted. (#60923) Thanks @Linux2010.
+- Cron: replay interrupted recurring jobs on the first gateway restart instead of waiting for a second restart. (#60583) Thanks @joelnishanth.
+- Cron: send failure notifications through the job's primary delivery channel using the same session context as successful delivery when no explicit `failureDestination` is configured. (#60622) Thanks @artwalker.
 - Exec/remote skills: stop advertising `exec host=node` when the current exec policy cannot route to a node, and clarify blocked exec-host override errors with both the requested host and allowed config path.
 - Agents/Claude CLI/security: clear inherited Claude Code config-root and plugin-root env overrides like `CLAUDE_CONFIG_DIR` and `CLAUDE_CODE_PLUGIN_*`, so OpenClaw-launched Claude CLI runs cannot be silently pointed at an alternate Claude config/plugin tree with different hooks, plugins, or auth context. Thanks @vincentkoc.
 - Agents/Claude CLI/security: clear inherited Claude Code provider-routing and managed-auth env overrides, and mark OpenClaw-launched Claude CLI runs as host-managed, so Claude CLI backdoor sessions cannot be silently redirected to proxy, Bedrock, Vertex, Foundry, or parent-managed token contexts. Thanks @vincentkoc.
@@ -58,6 +89,7 @@ Docs: https://docs.openclaw.ai
 - Agents/Claude CLI: treat malformed bare `--permission-mode` backend overrides as missing and fail safe back to `bypassPermissions`, so custom `cliBackends.claude-cli.args` security config cannot accidentally consume the next flag as a bogus permission mode. Thanks @vincentkoc.
 - Gateway/device pairing: require non-admin paired-device sessions to manage only their own device for token rotate/revoke and paired-device removal, blocking cross-device token theft inside pairing-scoped sessions. (#50627) Thanks @coygeek.

+### Self-hosted push rules for quiet finalized previews
+
+If you run your own Matrix infrastructure and want quiet previews to notify only when a block or
+final reply is done, set `streaming: "quiet"` and add a per-user push rule for finalized preview edits.
+
+This is usually a recipient-user setup, not a homeserver-global config change:
+
+Quick map before you start:
+
+- recipient user = the person who should receive the notification
+- bot user = the OpenClaw Matrix account that sends the reply
+- use the recipient user's access token for the API calls below
+- match `sender` in the push rule against the bot user's full MXID
+
+1. Configure OpenClaw to use quiet previews:
+
+```json5
+{
+  channels: {
+    matrix: {
+      streaming: "quiet",
+    },
+  },
+}
+```
+
+2. Make sure the recipient account already receives normal Matrix push notifications. Quiet preview
+   rules only work if that user already has working pushers/devices.
+
+3. Get the recipient user's access token.
+   - Use the receiving user's token, not the bot's token.
+   - Reusing an existing client session token is usually easiest.
+   - If you need to mint a fresh token, you can log in through the standard Matrix Client-Server API:
+
+```bash
+curl -sS -X POST \
+  "https://matrix.example.org/_matrix/client/v3/login" \
+  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
+  --data '{
+    "type": "m.login.password",
+    "identifier": {
+      "type": "m.id.user",
+      "user": "@alice:example.org"
+    },
+    "password": "REDACTED"
+  }'
+```
+
+4. Verify the recipient account already has pushers:
+
+```bash
+curl -sS \
+  -H "Authorization: Bearer $USER_ACCESS_TOKEN" \
+  "https://matrix.example.org/_matrix/client/v3/pushers"
+```
+
+If this returns no active pushers/devices, fix normal Matrix notifications first before adding the
+OpenClaw rule below.
+
+OpenClaw marks finalized text-only preview edits with:
+
+```json
+{
+  "com.openclaw.finalized_preview": true
+}
+```
+
+5. Create an override push rule for each recipient account which should receive these notifications:
+
+```bash
+curl -sS -X PUT \
+  "https://matrix.example.org/_matrix/client/v3/pushrules/global/override/openclaw-finalized-preview" \
+  -H "Authorization: Bearer $USER_ACCESS_TOKEN" \
+  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
+  --data '{
+    "conditions": [
+      { "kind": "event_match", "key": "type", "pattern": "m.room.message" },
+      {
+        "kind": "event_property_is",
+        "key": "content.m\\.relates_to.rel_type",
+        "value": "m.replace"
+      },
+      {
+        "kind": "event_property_is",
+        "key": "content.com\\.openclaw\\.finalized_preview",
+        "value": true
+      },
+      { "kind": "event_match", "key": "sender", "pattern": "@bot:example.org" }
+    ],
+    "actions": [
+      "notify",
+      { "set_tweak": "sound", "value": "default" },
+      { "set_tweak": "highlight", "value": false }
+    ]
+  }'
+```
+
+Replace these values before you run the command:
+
+- `https://matrix.example.org`: your homeserver base URL
+- `$USER_ACCESS_TOKEN`: the receiving user's access token
+- `@bot:example.org`: your OpenClaw Matrix bot MXID, not the receiving user's MXID
+
+The rule is evaluated against the event sender:
+
+- authenticate with the receiving user's token
+- match `sender` against the OpenClaw bot MXID
+
+6. Verify the rule exists:
+
+```bash
+curl -sS \
+  -H "Authorization: Bearer $USER_ACCESS_TOKEN" \
+  "https://matrix.example.org/_matrix/client/v3/pushrules/global/override/openclaw-finalized-preview"
+```
+
+7. Test a streamed reply. In quiet mode, the room should show a quiet draft preview and the final
+   in-place edit should notify once the block or turn finishes.
+
+Notes:
+
+- Create the rule with the receiving user's access token, not the bot's.
+- New user-defined `override` rules are inserted ahead of default suppress rules, so no extra ordering parameter is needed.
+- This only affects text-only preview edits that OpenClaw can safely finalize in place. Media fallbacks and stale-preview fallbacks still use normal Matrix delivery.
+- If `GET /_matrix/client/v3/pushers` shows no pushers, the user does not yet have working Matrix push delivery for this account/device.
+
+#### Synapse
+
+For Synapse, the setup above is usually enough by itself:
+
+- No special `homeserver.yaml` change is required for finalized OpenClaw preview notifications.
+- If your Synapse deployment already sends normal Matrix push notifications, the user token + `pushrules` call above is the main setup step.
+- If you run Synapse behind a reverse proxy or workers, make sure `/_matrix/client/.../pushrules/` reaches Synapse correctly.
+- If you run Synapse workers, make sure pushers are healthy. Push delivery is handled by the main process or `synapse.app.pusher` / configured pusher workers.
+
+#### Tuwunel
+
+For Tuwunel, use the same setup flow and push-rule API call shown above:
+
+- No Tuwunel-specific config is required for the finalized preview marker itself.
+- If normal Matrix notifications already work for that user, the user token + `pushrules` call above is the main setup step.
+- If notifications seem to disappear while the user is active on another device, check whether `suppress_push_when_active` is enabled. Tuwunel added this option in Tuwunel 1.4.2 on September 12, 2025, and it can intentionally suppress pushes to other devices while one device is active.

+Alibaba Model Studio / DashScope.
+
+- Provider: `alibaba`
+- Preferred auth: `MODELSTUDIO_API_KEY`
+- Also accepted: `DASHSCOPE_API_KEY`, `QWEN_API_KEY`
+- API: DashScope / Model Studio async video generation

+
+## Current limits
+
+- Up to **1** output video per request
+- Up to **1** input image
+- Up to **4** input videos
+- Up to **10 seconds** duration
+- Supports `size`, `aspectRatio`, `resolution`, `audio`, and `watermark`
+- Reference image/video mode currently requires **remote http(s) URLs**
+
+## Relationship to Qwen
+
+The bundled `qwen` provider also uses Alibaba-hosted DashScope endpoints for
+Wan video generation. Use:

+## Provider notes
+
+- Alibaba uses the DashScope / Model Studio async video endpoint and currently requires remote `http(s)` URLs for reference assets.
+- Google uses Gemini/Veo and supports a single image or video reference input.
+- MiniMax, Together, BytePlus, and fal currently support a single image reference input.
+- OpenAI uses the native video endpoint and currently defaults to `sora-2`.
+- Qwen supports image/video references, but the upstream DashScope video endpoint currently requires remote `http(s)` URLs for those references.
+- xAI uses the native xAI video API and supports text-to-video, image-to-video, and remote video edit/extend flows.
+
 ## Qwen reference inputs
 
 The bundled Qwen provider supports text-to-video plus image/video reference modes, but the upstream DashScope video endpoint currently requires **remote http(s) URLs** for reference inputs. Local file paths and uploaded buffers are rejected up front instead of being silently ignored.
