 - Preferred entrypoint: `pnpm test:parallels:npm-update`
 - Flow: fresh snapshot -> install npm package baseline -> smoke -> install current main tgz on the same guest -> smoke again.
 - Same-guest update verification should set the default model explicitly to `openai/gpt-5.4` before the agent turn and use a fresh explicit `--session-id` so old session model state does not leak into the check.
-- The aggregate npm-update wrapper must resolve the Linux VM with the same Ubuntu fallback policy as `parallels-linux-smoke.sh` before both fresh and update lanes. Treat any Ubuntu guest with major version `>= 24` as acceptable when the exact default VM is missing, preferring the closest version match. On Peter's current host today, missing `Ubuntu 24.04.3 ARM64` should fall back to `Ubuntu 25.10`.
-- On macOS same-guest update checks, restart the gateway after the npm upgrade before `gateway status` / `agent`; launchd can otherwise report a loaded service while the old process has exited and the fresh process is not RPC-ready yet.

 - On Windows same-guest update checks, restart the gateway after the npm upgrade before `gateway status` / `agent`; in-place global npm updates can otherwise leave stale hashed `dist/*` module imports alive in the running service.
 - For Windows same-guest update checks, prefer the done-file/log-drain PowerShell runner pattern over one long-lived `prlctl exec ... powershell -EncodedCommand ...` transport. The guest can finish successfully while the outer `prlctl exec` still hangs.
-- The Windows same-guest update helper should write stage markers to its log before long steps like tgz download and `npm install -g` so the outer progress monitor does not sit on `waiting for first log line` during healthy but quiet installs.
 - Linux same-guest update verification should also export `HOME=/root`, pass `OPENAI_API_KEY` via `prlctl exec ... /usr/bin/env`, and use `openclaw agent --local`; the fresh Linux baseline does not rely on persisted gateway credentials.
 - The npm-update wrapper now prints per-lane progress from the nested log files. If a lane still looks stuck, inspect the nested logs in `runDir` first (`macos-fresh.log`, `windows-fresh.log`, `linux-fresh.log`, `macos-update.log`, `windows-update.log`, `linux-update.log`) instead of assuming the outer wrapper hung.
 - If the wrapper fails a lane, read the auto-dumped tail first, then the full nested lane log under `/tmp/openclaw-parallels-npm-update.*`.

 - On Peter's Tahoe VM, `fresh-latest-march-2026` can hang in `prlctl snapshot-switch`; if restore times out there, rerun with `--snapshot-hint 'macOS 26.3.1 latest'` before blaming auth or the harness.
-- `parallels-macos-smoke.sh` now retries `snapshot-switch` once after force-stopping a stuck running/suspended guest. If Tahoe still times out after that recovery path, then treat it as a real Parallels/host issue and rerun manually.
 - The macOS smoke should include a dashboard load phase after gateway health: resolve the tokenized URL with `openclaw dashboard --no-open`, verify the served HTML contains the Control UI title/root shell, then open Safari and require an established localhost TCP connection from Safari to the gateway port.
 - If a packaged install regresses with `500` on `/`, `/healthz`, or `__openclaw/control-ui-config.json` after `fresh.install-main` or `upgrade.install-main`, suspect bundled plugin runtime deps resolving from the package root `node_modules` rather than `dist/extensions/*/node_modules`. Repro quickly with a real `npm pack`/global install lane before blaming dashboard auth or Safari.

 - Use PowerShell only as the transport with `-ExecutionPolicy Bypass`, then call the `.cmd` shims from inside it.
 - Multi-word `openclaw agent --message ...` checks should call `& $openclaw ...` inside PowerShell, not `Start-Process ... -ArgumentList` against `openclaw.cmd`, or Commander can see split argv and throw `too many arguments for 'agent'`.
 - Windows installer/tgz phases now retry once after guest-ready recheck; keep new Windows smoke steps idempotent so a transport-flake retry is safe.
-- If a Windows retry sees the VM become `suspended` or `stopped`, resume/start it before the next `prlctl exec`; otherwise the second attempt just repeats the same `rc=255`.
 - Windows global `npm install -g` phases can stay quiet for a minute or more even when healthy; inspect the phase log before calling it hung, and only treat it as a regression once the retry wrapper or timeout trips.
 - Fresh Windows ref-mode onboard should use the same background PowerShell runner plus done-file/log-drain pattern as the npm-update helper, including startup materialization checks, host-side timeouts on short poll `prlctl exec` calls, and retry-on-poll-failure behavior for transient transport flakes.

 - Use plain `prlctl exec`; `--current-user` is not the right transport on this snapshot.
 - Fresh snapshots may be missing `curl`, and `apt-get update` can fail on clock skew. Bootstrap with `apt-get -o Acquire::Check-Date=false update` and install `curl ca-certificates`.
 - Fresh `main` tgz smoke still needs the latest-release installer first because the snapshot has no Node or npm before bootstrap.
 - This snapshot does not have a usable `systemd --user` session; managed daemon install is unsupported.
 - The Linux smoke now falls back to a manual `setsid openclaw gateway run --bind loopback --port 18789 --force` launch with `HOME=/root` and the provider secret exported, then verifies `gateway status --deep --require-rpc` when available.
-- The Linux manual gateway launch should wait for `gateway status --deep --require-rpc` inside the `gateway-start` phase; otherwise the first status probe can race the background bind and fail a healthy lane.
 - If Linux gateway bring-up fails, inspect `/tmp/openclaw-parallels-linux-gateway.log` in the guest phase logs first; the common failure mode is a missing provider secret in the launched gateway environment.

-
-- Treat prompt-cache stability as correctness/perf-critical, not cosmetic.
-- Any code that assembles model or tool payloads from maps, sets, registries, plugin lists, MCP catalogs, filesystem reads, or network results must make ordering deterministic before building the request.
-- Do not rewrite older transcript/history bytes on every turn unless you intentionally want to invalidate the cached prefix. Legacy cleanup, pruning, normalization, and migration logic should preserve recent prompt bytes when possible.
-- If truncation or compaction is required, prefer mutating newest or tail content first so the cached prefix stays byte-identical for as long as possible.
-- For cache-sensitive changes, require a regression test that proves turn-to-turn prefix stability or deterministic request assembly; helper-local tests alone are not enough.

 ### Breaking
 
-- Config: remove legacy public config aliases such as `talk.voiceId` / `talk.apiKey`, `agents.*.sandbox.perSession`, `browser.ssrfPolicy.allowPrivateNetwork`, `hooks.internal.handlers`, and channel/group/room `allow` toggles in favor of the canonical public paths and `enabled`, while keeping load-time compatibility and `openclaw doctor --fix` migration support for existing configs. (#60726) Thanks @vincentkoc.
+- Plugins/web fetch: move Firecrawl `web_fetch` config from the legacy core `tools.web.fetch.firecrawl.*` path to the plugin-owned `plugins.entries.firecrawl.config.webFetch.*` path, route `web_fetch` fallback through the new fetch-provider boundary instead of a Firecrawl-only core branch, and migrate legacy config with `openclaw doctor --fix`. Thanks @vincentkoc.
+- Plugins/xAI: move `x_search` settings from the legacy core `tools.web.x_search.*` path to the plugin-owned `plugins.entries.xai.config.xSearch.*` path, standardize `x_search` auth on `plugins.entries.xai.config.webSearch.apiKey` / `XAI_API_KEY`, and migrate legacy config with `openclaw doctor --fix`. Thanks @vincentkoc.
 
 ### Changes
 
-- 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)
-- 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.
-- 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.
-- 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.
-- 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/config: add `models.providers.*.request` overrides for headers and auth on model-provider paths, and full request transport overrides for media provider HTTP paths.
-- 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.
-- Control UI/skills: add ClawHub search, detail, and install flows directly in the Skills panel. (#60134) Thanks @samzong.
-- 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.
-- Plugins/onboarding: add plugin config TUI prompts to onboard and configure wizards so more plugin setup can stay in the guided flow. (#60590)
-- 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.
-- 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 Claude CLI or API keys.
-- 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.
-- 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.
-- Channels/context visibility: add configurable `contextVisibility` per channel (`all`, `allowlist`, `allowlist_quote`) so quoted, threaded, and fetched history context can be filtered by sender allowlists instead of always passing through as received.
-- 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)
-- 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.
-- 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.
-- 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/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.
-- 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/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.

-
-- 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.
-- Synology Chat/security: route webhook token comparison through the shared constant-time secret helper for consistency with other bundled plugins.
-- Models/MiniMax: honor `MINIMAX_API_HOST` for implicit bundled MiniMax provider catalogs so China-hosted API-key setups pick `api.minimaxi.com/anthropic` without manual provider config. (#34524) Thanks @caiqinghua.
-- Usage/MiniMax: invert remaining-style `usage_percent` fields when MiniMax reports only remaining percentage data, so usage bars stop showing nearly-full remaining quota as nearly-exhausted usage. (#60254) Thanks @jwchmodx.
-- MiniMax: advertise image input on bundled `MiniMax-M2.7` and `MiniMax-M2.7-highspeed` model definitions so image-capable flows can route through the M2.7 family correctly. (#54843) Thanks @MerlinMiao88888888.
-- Media understanding: auto-register image-capable config providers for vision routing, so custom GLM-style provider ids with image models stop failing with “no media-understanding provider registered”. (#51418) Thanks @xydt-610.
-- Providers/OpenAI: preserve native `reasoning.effort: "none"` and strict tool schemas on direct OpenAI-family endpoints, keep compat routes on compat shaping, fix Responses WebSocket warm-up behavior, keep stable session and turn metadata, and fall back more gracefully after early WebSocket failures.
-- Providers/OpenAI Codex: split native `contextWindow` from runtime `contextTokens`, keep the default effective cap at `272000`, and expose a per-model `contextTokens` override on `models.providers.*.models[]`.
-- Providers/compat: stop forcing OpenAI-only defaults on proxy and custom OpenAI-compatible routes, preserve native vendor-specific reasoning/tool/streaming behavior across Anthropic-compatible, Moonshot, Mistral, ModelStudio, OpenRouter, xAI, and Z.ai endpoints, and route GitHub Copilot Claude models through Anthropic Messages instead of OpenAI Responses.
-- Providers/Model Studio: preserve native streaming usage reporting for DashScope-compatible endpoints even when they are configured under a generic provider key, so streamed token totals stop sticking at zero. (#52395) Thanks @IVY-AI-gif.
-- Providers/OpenAI-compatible WS: compute fallback token totals from normalized usage when providers omit or zero `total_tokens`, so DashScope-compatible sessions stop storing zero totals after alias normalization. (#54940) Thanks @lyfuci.
-- Status/usage: let `/status` and `session_status` fall back to transcript token totals when the session meta store stayed at zero, so LM Studio, Ollama, DashScope, and similar OpenAI-compatible providers stop showing `Context: 0/...`. (#55041) Thanks @jjjojoj.
-- Providers/Z.AI: preserve explicitly registered `glm-5-*` variants like `glm-5-turbo` instead of intercepting them with the generic GLM-5 forward-compat shim. (#48185) Thanks @haoyu-haoyu.
-- Live model switching: only treat explicit user-driven model changes as pending live switches, so fallback rotation, heartbeat overrides, and compaction no longer trip `LiveSessionModelSwitchError` before making an API call. (#60266) Thanks @kiranvk-2011.
-- 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.
-- Plugins/OpenAI: enable `gpt-image-1` reference-image edits through `/images/edits` multipart uploads, and stop inferring unsupported resolution overrides when no explicit `size` or `resolution` is provided.
-- 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)
-- Mobile pairing/Android: tighten secure endpoint handling so Tailscale and public remote setup reject cleartext endpoints, private LAN pairing still works, merged-role approvals mint both node and operator device tokens, and bootstrap tokens survive node auto-pair until operator approval finishes. (#60128, #60208, #60221)
-- Android/Talk Mode: restore spoken assistant replies on node-scoped sessions by keeping reply routing synced to the resolved node session key and pausing mic capture during reply playback. (#60306) Thanks @MKV21.
-- 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)
-- Telegram/local Bot API: honor `channels.telegram.apiRoot` for buffered media downloads, add `channels.telegram.network.dangerouslyAllowPrivateNetwork` for trusted fake-IP setups, and require `channels.telegram.trustedLocalFileRoots` before reading absolute Bot API `file_path` values. (#59544, #60705)
-- 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)
-- ACP/agents: inherit the target agent workspace for cross-agent ACP spawns and fall back safely when the inherited workspace no longer exists. (#58438) Thanks @zssggle-rgb.
-- ACPX/Windows: preserve backslashes and absolute `.exe` paths in Claude CLI parsing, and fail fast on wrapper-script targets with guidance to use `cmd.exe /c`, `powershell.exe -File`, or `node <script>`. (#60689)
-- 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.
-- 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)
-- WhatsApp: restore `channels.whatsapp.blockStreaming` and reset watchdog timeouts after reconnect so quiet chats stop falling into reconnect loops. (#60007, #60069)
-- 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)
-- MS Teams: download inline DM images via Graph API and preserve channel reply threading in proactive fallback. (#52212, #55198)
-- Agents/Claude CLI: persist explicit `openclaw agent --session-id` runs under a stable session key so follow-ups can reuse the stored CLI binding and resume the same underlying Claude session.
-- Agents/CLI backends: invalidate stored CLI session reuse when local CLI login state or the selected auth profile credential changes, so relogin and token rotation stop resuming stale sessions.
-- 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.
-- Auth/failover: persist selected fallback overrides before retrying, shorten `auth_permanent` lockouts, and refresh websocket/shared-auth sessions only when real auth changes occur so retries and secret rotations behave predictably. (#60404, #60323, #60387)
-- Cron: replay interrupted recurring jobs on the first gateway restart instead of waiting for a second restart. (#60583) Thanks @joelnishanth.
-- Plugins/media understanding: enable bundled Groq and Deepgram providers by default so configured transcription models work without extra plugin activation config. (#59982) Thanks @yxjsxy.
-- Plugins/Kimi Coding: parse tagged tool calls and keep Anthropic-native tool payloads so Kimi coding endpoints execute tools instead of echoing raw markup. (#60051, #60391)
-- Tools/web_search (Kimi): when `tools.web.search.kimi.baseUrl` is unset, inherit native Moonshot chat `baseUrl` (`.ai` / `.cn`) so China console keys authenticate on the same host as chat. Fixes #44851. (#56769) Thanks @tonga54.
-- Plugins/marketplace: block remote marketplace symlink escapes without breaking ordinary local marketplace install paths. (#60556) Thanks @eleqtrizit.
-- Plugins/install: preserve unsafe override flags across linked plugin and hook-pack probes so local `--link` installs honor the documented override behavior. (#60624) Thanks @JerrettDavis.
-- Config/All Settings: keep the raw config view intact when sensitive fields are blank instead of corrupting or dropping the rendered snapshot. (#28214) Thanks @solodmd.
-- 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)
-- Exec approvals: reuse durable exact-command `allow-always` approvals in allowlist mode so identical reruns stop prompting, and tighten Windows interpreter/path approval handling so wrapper and malformed-path cases fail closed more consistently. (#59880, #59780, #58040, #59182)
-- Agents/runtime: make default subagent allowlists, inherited skills/workspaces, and duplicate session-id resolution behave more predictably, and include value-shape hints in missing-parameter tool errors. (#59944, #59992, #59858, #55317)
-- 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.
-- Gateway/plugin routes: keep gateway-auth plugin runtime routes on write-only fallback scopes unless a trusted-proxy caller explicitly declares narrower `x-openclaw-scopes`, so plugin HTTP handlers no longer mint admin-level runtime scopes on missing or untrusted HTTP scope headers. (#59815) Thanks @pgondhi987.
-- Agents/exec approvals: let `exec-approvals.json` agent security override stricter gateway tool defaults so approved subagents can use `security: "full"` without falling back to allowlist enforcement again. (#60310) Thanks @lml2468.
-- Tasks/maintenance: reconcile stale cron and chat-backed CLI task rows against live cron-job and agent-run ownership instead of treating any persisted session key as proof that the task is still running. (#60310) Thanks @lml2468.
-- Providers/GitHub Copilot: send IDE identity headers on runtime model requests and GitHub token exchange so IDE-authenticated Copilot runs stop failing with missing `Editor-Version`. (#60641) Thanks @VACInc and @vincentkoc.
-- Model picker/providers: treat bundled BytePlus and Volcengine plan aliases as their native providers during setup, and expose their bundled standard/coding catalogs before auth so setup can suggest the right models. (#58819) Thanks @Luckymingxuan.
-- Prompt caching: route Codex Responses and Anthropic Vertex through boundary-aware cache shaping, and report the actual outbound system prompt in cache traces so cache reuse and misses line up with what providers really receive. Thanks @vincentkoc.
-- Prompt caching: order stable workspace project-context files before `HEARTBEAT.md` and keep `HEARTBEAT.md` below the system-prompt cache boundary so heartbeat churn does not invalidate the stable project-context prefix. (#58979) Thanks @yozu and @vincentkoc.
-- Plugins/cache: inherit the active gateway workspace for provider, web-search, and web-fetch snapshot loads when callers omit `workspaceDir`, so compatible plugin registries and snapshot caches stop missing on gateway-owned runtime paths. (#61138) Thanks @jzakirov.
-- Agents/Kimi tool-call repair: preserve tool arguments that were already present on streamed tool calls when later malformed deltas fail reevaluation, while still dropping stale repair-only state before `toolcall_end`.
-- MiniMax/pricing: keep bundled MiniMax highspeed pricing distinct in provider catalogs and preserve the lower M2.5 cache-read pricing when onboarding older MiniMax models. (#54214) Thanks @octo-patch.
-- Agents/cache: preserve the full 3-turn prompt-cache image window across tool loops, keep colliding bundled MCP tool definitions deterministic, and reapply Anthropic Vertex cache shaping after payload hook replacements so KV/cache reuse stays stable. Thanks @vincentkoc.
-- Device pairing: reject rotating device tokens into roles that were never approved during pairing, and keep reconnect role checks bounded to the paired device's approved role set. (#60462) Thanks @eleqtrizit.
-- Mobile pairing/security: fail closed for internal `/pair` setup-code issuance, cleanup, and approval paths when gateway pairing scopes are missing, and keep approval-time requested-scope enforcement on the internal command path. (#55996) Thanks @coygeek.
-- Status/cache: restore `cacheRead` and `cacheWrite` in transcript fallback so `/status` keeps showing cache hit percentages when session logs are the only complete usage source. (#59247) Thanks @stuartsy.
-- Exec approvals/node host: forward prepared `system.run` approval plans on the async node invoke path so mutable script operands keep their approval-time binding and drift revalidation instead of dropping back to unbound execution.
-- Synology Chat/security: default low-level HTTPS helper TLS verification to on so helper/API defaults match the shipped safe account default, and only explicit `allowInsecureSsl: true` opts out.
-- Android/canvas security: require exact normalized A2UI URL matches before forwarding canvas bridge actions, rejecting query mismatches and descendant paths while still allowing fragment-only A2UI navigation.
-- 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.
-- Mobile pairing/bootstrap: keep QR bootstrap handoff tokens bounded to the mobile-safe contract so node handoff stays unscoped and operator handoff drops mixed `node.*`, `operator.admin`, and `operator.pairing` scopes.
-- Gateway/auth: serialize async shared-secret auth attempts per client so concurrent Tailscale-capable failures cannot overrun the intended auth rate-limit budget. Thanks @Telecaster2147.
-- Doctor/config: compare normalized `talk` configs by deep structural equality instead of key-order-sensitive serialization so `openclaw doctor --fix` stops repeatedly reporting/applying no-op `talk.provider/providers` normalization. (#59911) Thanks @ejames-dev.
-- Providers/Anthropic Vertex: honor `cacheRetention: "long"` with the real 1-hour prompt-cache TTL on Vertex AI endpoints, and default `anthropic-vertex` cache retention like direct Anthropic. (#60888) Thanks @affsantos.
-- Gateway/device auth: reuse cached device-token scopes only for cached-token reconnects, while keeping explicit `deviceToken` scope requests and empty-cache fallbacks intact so reconnects preserve `operator.read` without breaking explicit auth flows. (#46032) Thanks @caicongyang.
-- Agents/scheduling: steer background-now work toward automatic completion wake and treat `process` polling as on-demand inspection or intervention instead of default completion handling. (#60877) Thanks @vincentkoc.
-- Google Gemini CLI auth: improve OAuth credential discovery across Windows nvm and Homebrew libexec installs, and align Code Assist metadata so Gemini login stops failing on packaged CLI layouts. (#40729) Thanks @hughcube.
-- Google Gemini CLI auth: detect bundled npm installs by scanning packaged bundle files for the Gemini OAuth client config, so `npm install -g @google/gemini-cli` layouts work again. (#60486) Thanks @wzfmini01.
-- Mattermost/config schema: accept `groups.*.requireMention` again so existing Mattermost configs no longer fail strict validation after upgrade. (#58271) Thanks @MoerAI.
-- Agents/failover: scope Anthropic `An unknown error occurred` failover matching by provider so generic internal unknown-error text no longer triggers retryable timeout fallback. (#59325) Thanks @aaron-he-zhu.
-- Providers/OpenRouter failover: classify `403 "Key limit exceeded"` spending-limit responses as billing so model fallback continues instead of stopping on generic auth. (#59892) Thanks @rockcent.
-- Device pairing/security: keep non-operator device scope checks bound to the requested role prefix so bootstrap verification cannot redeem `operator.*` scopes through `node` auth. (#57258) Thanks @jlapenna.
-- 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.
-- 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.
-- Agents/subagents: honor allowlist validation, auth-profile handoff, and session override state when a subagent retries after `LiveSessionModelSwitchError`. (#58178) Thanks @openperf.
-- Google image generation: disable pinned DNS for Gemini image requests and honor explicit `pinDns` overrides in shared provider HTTP helpers so proxy-backed image generation works again. (#59873) Thanks @luoyanglang.
-- Agents/exec: restore `host=node` routing for node-pinned and `host=auto` sessions, while still blocking sandboxed `auto` sessions from jumping to gateway. (#60788) Thanks @openperf.
-- Agents/compaction: keep assistant tool calls and displaced tool results in the same compaction chunk so strict summarization providers stop rejecting orphaned tool pairs. (#58849) Thanks @openperf.
-- Outbound/sanitizer: strip leaked `<tool_call>`, `<function_calls>`, and model special tokens from shared user-visible assistant text, including truncated tool-call streams, so internal scaffolding no longer bleeds into replies across surfaces. (#60619) Thanks @oliviareid-svg.
-- Telegram: restore DM voice-note preflight transcription so direct-message audio stops arriving as raw `<media:audio>` placeholders. (#61008) Thanks @manueltarouca.
-- 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/Overview: prevent gateway access token/password visibility toggle buttons from overlapping their inputs at narrow widths. (#56924) Thanks @bbddbb1.
-- 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.
-- 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.
-- 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.
-- 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.
-- Agents/Claude CLI: keep non-interactive `--permission-mode bypassPermissions` when custom `cliBackends.claude-cli.args` override defaults, including fallback resolution before the runtime plugin registry is active, so cron and heartbeat Claude CLI runs do not regress to interactive approval mode. (#61114) Thanks @cathrynlavery and @thewilloftheshadow.
-- Agents/skills: skip `.git` and `node_modules` when mirroring skills into sandbox workspaces so read-only sandboxes do not copy repo history or dependency trees. (#61090) Thanks @joelnishanth.
-- Android/Talk Mode: cancel in-flight `talk.speak` playback when speech is explicitly stopped, so stale replies stop starting after barge-in or manual stop. (#61164) Thanks @obviyus.
-- Plugins/onboarding: write dotted plugin uiHint paths like Brave `webSearch.mode` as nested plugin config so `llm-context` setup stops failing validation. (#61159) Thanks @obviyus.
-- Android/Talk Mode: restore voice replies on gateway-backed talk mode sessions by updating embedded runner transport overrides to the current agent transport API. (#61214) Thanks @obviyus.
-- Amazon Bedrock/aws-sdk auth: stop injecting the fake `AWS_PROFILE` apiKey marker when no AWS auth env vars exist, so instance-role and other default-chain setups keep working without poisoning provider config. (#61194) Thanks @wirjo.

-### Breaking
-
-- Plugins/xAI: move `x_search` settings from the legacy core `tools.web.x_search.*` path to the plugin-owned `plugins.entries.xai.config.xSearch.*` path, standardize `x_search` auth on `plugins.entries.xai.config.webSearch.apiKey` / `XAI_API_KEY`, and migrate legacy config with `openclaw doctor --fix`. (#59674) Thanks @vincentkoc.
-- Plugins/web fetch: move Firecrawl `web_fetch` config from the legacy core `tools.web.fetch.firecrawl.*` path to the plugin-owned `plugins.entries.firecrawl.config.webFetch.*` path, route `web_fetch` fallback through the new fetch-provider boundary instead of a Firecrawl-only core branch, and migrate legacy config with `openclaw doctor --fix`. (#59465) Thanks @vincentkoc.
-
-### Changes
-
-- Tasks/Task Flow: restore the core Task Flow substrate with managed-vs-mirrored sync modes, durable flow state/revision tracking, and `openclaw tasks flow` inspection/recovery primitives so background orchestration can persist and be operated separately from plugin authoring layers. (#58930) Thanks @mbelinky.
-- Tasks/Task Flow: add managed child task spawning plus sticky cancel intent, so external orchestrators can stop scheduling immediately and let parent Task Flows settle to `cancelled` once active child tasks finish. (#59610) Thanks @mbelinky.
-- Plugins/Task Flow: add a bound `api.runtime.taskFlow` seam so plugins and trusted authoring layers can create and drive managed Task Flows from host-resolved OpenClaw context without passing owner identifiers on each call. (#59622) Thanks @mbelinky.
-- Android/assistant: add assistant-role entrypoints plus Google Assistant App Actions metadata so Android can launch OpenClaw from the assistant trigger and hand prompts into the chat composer. (#59596) Thanks @obviyus.
-- Exec defaults: make gateway/node host exec default to YOLO mode by requesting `security=full` with `ask=off`, and align host approval-file fallbacks plus docs/doctor reporting with that no-prompt default.
-- Providers/runtime: add provider-owned replay hook surfaces for transcript policy, replay cleanup, and reasoning-mode dispatch. (#59143) Thanks @jalehman.
-- Plugins/hooks: add `before_agent_reply` so plugins can short-circuit the LLM with synthetic replies after inline actions. (#20067) Thanks @JoshuaLelon.
-- Channels/session routing: move provider-specific session conversation grammar into plugin-owned session-key surfaces, preserving Telegram topic routing and Feishu scoped inheritance across bootstrap, model override, restart, and tool-policy paths.
-- Feishu/comments: add a dedicated Drive comment-event flow with comment-thread context resolution, in-thread replies, and `feishu_drive` comment actions for document collaboration workflows. (#58497) Thanks @wittam-01.
 - Matrix/plugin: emit spec-compliant `m.mentions` metadata across text sends, media captions, edits, poll fallback text, and action-driven edits so Matrix mentions notify reliably in clients like Element. (#59323) Thanks @gumadeiras.
-- Diffs: add plugin-owned `viewerBaseUrl` so viewer links can use a stable proxy/public origin without passing `baseUrl` on every tool call. (#59341) Related #59227. Thanks @gumadeiras.
-- Agents/compaction: resolve `agents.defaults.compaction.model` consistently for manual `/compact` and other context-engine compaction paths, so engine-owned compaction uses the configured override model across runtime entrypoints. (#56710) Thanks @oliviareid-svg.
-- Agents/compaction: add `agents.defaults.compaction.notifyUser` so the `🧹 Compacting context...` start notice is opt-in instead of always being shown. (#54251) Thanks @oguricap0327.
+- Feishu/comments: add a dedicated Drive comment-event flow with comment-thread context resolution, in-thread replies, and `feishu_drive` comment actions for document collaboration workflows. (#58497) thanks @wittam-01.
 - WhatsApp/reactions: add `reactionLevel` guidance for agent reactions. Thanks @mcaxtr.
-- Exec approvals/channels: auto-enable DM-first native chat approvals when supported channels can infer approvers from existing owner config, while keeping channel fanout explicit and clarifying forwarding versus native approval client config.
-- Android/assistant: auto-send Google Assistant App Actions prompts once chat is healthy and idle, while keeping bare assistant launches as open-only. (#59721) Thanks @obviyus.

 ### Fixes
 
-- Sandbox/security: block credential-path binds even when sandbox home paths resolve through canonical aliases, so agent containers cannot mount user secret stores through alternate home-directory paths. (#59157) Thanks @eleqtrizit.
-- Gateway/Windows scheduled tasks: preserve Task Scheduler settings on reinstall, fail loud when Scheduled Task `/Run` does not start, and report fast failed restarts with the actual elapsed time instead of a fake 60s timeout. (#59335) Thanks @tmimmanuel.
-- Control UI/model picker: preserve already-qualified `provider/model` refs from the server so models whose ids already contain slashes stop being double-prefixed and remapped to the wrong provider. (#49874) Thanks @ShionEria.
-- Models/selection: resolve bare model ids in session model switches against the configured allowlist before falling back to the current session provider, so Control UI model picks stop drifting into `google/k2p5` and similar wrong-provider refs. (#51580) Thanks @honwee.

-## 2026.4.1-beta.1
-
-- Providers/transport policy: centralize request auth, proxy, TLS, and header shaping across shared HTTP, stream, and websocket paths, block insecure TLS/runtime transport overrides, and keep proxy-hop TLS separate from target mTLS settings. (#59682) Thanks @vincentkoc.
-- Providers/OpenRouter: gate documented OpenRouter attribution to native OpenRouter endpoints or the default route so custom proxy base URLs do not inherit OpenRouter request headers.
-- Providers/Copilot: classify native GitHub Copilot API hosts in the shared provider endpoint resolver and harden token-derived proxy endpoint parsing so Copilot base URL routing stays centralized and fails closed on malformed hints. (#59644) Thanks @vincentkoc.
-- Providers/streaming headers: centralize default and attribution header merging across OpenAI websocket, embedded-runner, and proxy stream paths so provider-specific headers stay consistent and caller overrides only win where intended. (#59542) Thanks @vincentkoc.
-- Providers/media HTTP: centralize base URL normalization, default auth/header injection, and explicit header override handling across shared OpenAI-compatible audio, Deepgram audio, Gemini media/image, and Moonshot video request paths. (#59469) Thanks @vincentkoc.
-- Providers/OpenAI-compatible routing: centralize native-vs-proxy request policy so hidden attribution and related OpenAI-family defaults only apply on verified native endpoints across stream, websocket, and shared audio HTTP paths. (#59433) Thanks @vincentkoc.
-- Providers/Anthropic routing: centralize native-vs-proxy endpoint classification for direct Anthropic `service_tier` handling so spoofed or proxied hosts do not inherit native Anthropic defaults. (#59608) Thanks @vincentkoc.
-- Gateway/exec loopback: restore legacy-role fallback for empty paired-device token maps and allow silent local role upgrades so local exec and node clients stop failing with pairing-required errors after `2026.3.31`. (#59092) Thanks @openperf.
-- Agents/subagents: pin admin-only subagent gateway calls to `operator.admin` while keeping `agent` at least privilege, so `sessions_spawn` no longer dies on loopback scope-upgrade pairing with `close(1008) "pairing required"`. (#59555) Thanks @openperf.
-- Exec approvals/config: strip invalid `security`, `ask`, and `askFallback` values from `~/.openclaw/exec-approvals.json` during normalization so malformed policy enums fall back cleanly to the documented defaults instead of corrupting runtime policy resolution. (#59112) Thanks @openperf.
-- Exec approvals/doctor: report host policy sources from the real approvals file path and ignore malformed host override values when attributing effective policy conflicts. (#59367) Thanks @gumadeiras.
-- Exec/runtime: treat `tools.exec.host=auto` as routing-only, keep implicit no-config exec on sandbox when available or gateway otherwise, and reject per-call host overrides that would bypass the configured sandbox or host target. (#58897) Thanks @vincentkoc.
 - Slack/mrkdwn formatting: add built-in Slack mrkdwn guidance in inbound context so Slack replies stop falling back to generic Markdown patterns that render poorly in Slack. (#59100) Thanks @jadewon.
 - WhatsApp/presence: send `unavailable` presence on connect in self-chat mode so personal-phone users stop losing all push notifications while the gateway is running. (#59410) Thanks @mcaxtr.
 - WhatsApp/media: add HTML, XML, and CSS to the MIME map and fall back gracefully for unknown media types instead of dropping the attachment. (#51562) Thanks @bobbyt74.
 - Matrix/onboarding: restore guided setup in `openclaw channels add` and `openclaw configure --section channels`, while keeping custom plugin wizards on the shared `setupWizard` seam. (#59462) Thanks @gumadeiras.
-- Matrix/streaming: keep live partial previews for the current assistant block while preserving completed block updates as separate messages when `channels.matrix.blockStreaming` is enabled. (#59384) Thanks @gumadeiras.
+- Matrix/streaming: keep live partial previews for the current assistant block while preserving completed block updates as separate messages when `channels.matrix.blockStreaming` is enabled. (#59384) thanks @gumadeiras
 - Feishu/comment threads: harden document comment-thread delivery so whole-document comments fall back to `add_comment`, delayed reply lookups retry more reliably, and user-visible replies avoid reasoning/planning spillover. (#59129) Thanks @wittam-01.
 - MS Teams/streaming: strip already-streamed text from fallback block delivery when replies exceed the 4000-character streaming limit so long responses stop duplicating content. (#59297) Thanks @bradgroux.
 - Slack/thread context: filter thread starter and history by the effective conversation allowlist without dropping valid open-room, DM, or group DM context. (#58380) Thanks @jacobtomlinson.
 - Mattermost/probes: route status probes through the SSRF guard and honor `allowPrivateNetwork` so connectivity checks stay safe for self-hosted Mattermost deployments. (#58529) Thanks @mappel-nv.
 - Zalo/webhook replay: scope replay dedupe key by chat and sender so reused message IDs across different chats or senders no longer collide, and harden metadata reads for partially missing payloads. (#58444)
 - QQBot/structured payloads: restrict local file paths to QQ Bot-owned media storage, block traversal outside that root, reduce path leakage in logs, and keep inline image data URLs working. (#58453) Thanks @jacobtomlinson.
-- Image generation/providers: route OpenAI, MiniMax, and fal image requests through the shared provider HTTP transport path so custom base URLs, guarded private-network routing, and provider request defaults stay aligned with the rest of provider HTTP. Thanks @vincentkoc.
-- Image generation/providers: stop inferring private-network access from configured OpenAI, MiniMax, and fal image base URLs, and cap shared HTTP error-body reads so hostile or misconfigured endpoints fail closed without relaxing SSRF policy or buffering unbounded error payloads. Thanks @vincentkoc.
-- Browser/host inspection: keep static Chrome inspection helpers out of the activated browser runtime so `openclaw doctor browser` and related checks do not eagerly load the bundled browser plugin. (#59471) Thanks @vincentkoc.
-- Browser/CDP: normalize trailing-dot localhost absolute-form hosts before loopback checks so remote CDP websocket URLs like `ws://localhost.:...` rewrite back to the configured remote host. (#59236) Thanks @mappel-nv.
-- Browser/attach-only profiles: disconnect cached Playwright CDP sessions when stopping attach-only or remote CDP profiles, while still reporting never-started local managed profiles as not stopped. (#60097) Thanks @pedh.
+- Gateway/exec loopback: restore legacy-role fallback for empty paired-device token maps and allow silent local role upgrades so local exec and node clients stop failing with pairing-required errors after `2026.3.31`. (#59092) Thanks @openperf.
 - Agents/output sanitization: strip namespaced `antml:thinking` blocks from user-visible text so Anthropic-style internal monologue tags do not leak into replies. (#59550) Thanks @obviyus.
 - Kimi Coding/tools: normalize Anthropic tool payloads into the OpenAI-compatible function shape Kimi Coding expects so tool calls stop losing required arguments. (#59440) Thanks @obviyus.
 - Image tool/paths: resolve relative local media paths against the agent `workspaceDir` instead of `process.cwd()` so inputs like `inbox/receipt.png` pass the local-path allowlist reliably. (#57222) Thanks Priyansh Gupta.
+- Browser/CDP: normalize trailing-dot localhost absolute-form hosts before loopback checks so remote CDP websocket URLs like `ws://localhost.:...` rewrite back to the configured remote host. (#59236) Thanks @mappel-nv.
+- Browser/host inspection: keep static Chrome inspection helpers out of the activated browser runtime so `openclaw doctor browser` and related checks do not eagerly load the bundled browser plugin. (#59471) Thanks @vincentkoc.
 - Podman/launch: remove noisy container output from `scripts/run-openclaw-podman.sh` and align the Podman install guidance with the quieter startup flow. (#59368) Thanks @sallyom.
 - Plugins/runtime: keep LINE reply directives and browser-backed cleanup/reset flows working even when those plugins are disabled while tightening bundled plugin activation guards. (#59412) Thanks @vincentkoc.
+- Providers/OpenAI-compatible routing: centralize native-vs-proxy request policy so hidden attribution and related OpenAI-family defaults only apply on verified native endpoints across stream, websocket, and shared audio HTTP paths. (#59433) Thanks @vincentkoc.
+- Providers/media HTTP: centralize base URL normalization, default auth/header injection, and explicit header override handling across shared OpenAI-compatible audio, Deepgram audio, Gemini media/image, and Moonshot video request paths. (#59469) Thanks @vincentkoc.

+- Providers/Copilot: classify native GitHub Copilot API hosts in the shared provider endpoint resolver and harden token-derived proxy endpoint parsing so Copilot base URL routing stays centralized and fails closed on malformed hints. Thanks @vincentkoc.
 - ACP/gateway reconnects: keep ACP prompts alive across transient websocket drops while still failing boundedly when reconnect recovery does not complete. (#59473) Thanks @obviyus.
 - ACP/gateway reconnects: reject stale pre-ack ACP prompts after reconnect grace expiry so callers fail cleanly instead of hanging indefinitely when the gateway never confirms the run.
+- Exec approvals/doctor: report host policy sources from the real approvals file path and ignore malformed host override values when attributing effective policy conflicts. (#59367) Thanks @gumadeiras.
+- Exec approvals/config: strip invalid `security`, `ask`, and `askFallback` values from `~/.openclaw/exec-approvals.json` during normalization so malformed policy enums fall back cleanly to the documented defaults instead of corrupting runtime policy resolution. (#59112) Thanks @openperf.
 - Gateway/session kill: enforce HTTP operator scopes on session kill requests and gate authorization before session lookup so unauthenticated callers cannot probe session existence. (#59128) Thanks @jacobtomlinson.
 - MS Teams/logging: format non-`Error` failures with the shared unknown-error helper so logs stop collapsing caught SDK or Axios objects into `[object Object]`. (#59321) Thanks @bradgroux.
-- Channels/setup: ignore untrusted workspace channel plugins during setup resolution so a shadowing workspace plugin cannot override built-in channel setup/login flows unless explicitly trusted in config. (#59158) Thanks @mappel-nv.
-- Exec/Windows: restore allowlist enforcement with quote-aware `argPattern` matching across gateway and node exec, and surface accurate dynamic pre-approved executable hints in the exec tool description. (#56285) Thanks @kpngr.
 - Gateway: prune empty `node-pending-work` state entries after explicit acknowledgments and natural expiry so the per-node state map no longer grows indefinitely. (#58179) Thanks @gavyngong.
-- Webhooks/secret comparison: replace ad-hoc timing-safe secret comparisons across BlueBubbles, Feishu, Mattermost, Telegram, Twilio, and Zalo webhook handlers with the shared `safeEqualSecret` helper and reject empty auth tokens in BlueBubbles. (#58432) Thanks @eleqtrizit.
-- OpenShell/mirror: constrain `remoteWorkspaceDir` and `remoteAgentWorkspaceDir` to the managed `/sandbox` and `/agent` roots, and keep mirror sync from overwriting or removing user-added shell roots during config synchronization. (#58515) Thanks @eleqtrizit.
-- Plugins/activation: preserve explicit, auto-enabled, and default activation provenance plus reason metadata across CLI, gateway bootstrap, and status surfaces so plugin enablement state stays accurate after auto-enable resolution. (#59641) Thanks @vincentkoc.
-- Exec/env: block additional host environment override pivots for package roots, language runtimes, compiler include paths, and credential/config locations so request-scoped exec cannot redirect trusted toolchains or config lookups. (#59233) Thanks @drobison00.
-- Dotenv/workspace overrides: block workspace `.env` files from overriding `OPENCLAW_PINNED_PYTHON` and `OPENCLAW_PINNED_WRITE_PYTHON` so trusted helper interpreters cannot be redirected by repo-local env injection. (#58473) Thanks @eleqtrizit.
-- Plugins/install: accept JSON5 syntax in `openclaw.plugin.json` and bundle `plugin.json` manifests during install/validation, so third-party plugins with trailing commas, comments, or unquoted keys no longer fail to install. (#59084) Thanks @singleGanghood.
-- Telegram/exec approvals: rewrite shared `/approve … allow-always` callback payloads to `/approve … always` before Telegram button rendering so plugin approval IDs still fit Telegram's `callback_data` limit and keep the Allow Always action visible. (#59217) Thanks @jameslcowan.
-- Cron/exec timeouts: surface timed-out `exec` and `bash` failures in isolated cron runs even when `verbose: off`, including custom session-target cron jobs, so scheduled runs stop failing silently. (#58247) Thanks @skainguyen1412.
-- Telegram/exec approvals: fall back to the origin session key for async approval followups and keep resume-failure status delivery sanitized so Telegram followups still land without leaking raw exec metadata. (#59351) Thanks @seonang.
-- Node-host/exec approvals: bind `pnpm dlx` invocations through the approval planner's mutable-script path so the effective runtime command is resolved for approval instead of being left unbound. (#58374)
-- Exec/node hosts: stop forwarding the gateway workspace cwd to remote node exec when no workdir was explicitly requested, so cross-platform node approvals fall back to the node default cwd instead of failing with `SYSTEM_RUN_DENIED`. (#58977) Thanks @Starhappysh.
-- TUI/chat: keep pending local sends visible and reconciled across history reloads, make busy/error recovery clearer through fallback and terminal-error paths, and reclaim transcript width for long links and paths. (#59800) Thanks @vincentkoc.
-- Exec approvals/channels: decouple initiating-surface approval availability from native delivery enablement so Telegram, Slack, and Discord still expose approvals when approvers exist and native target routing is configured separately. (#59776) Thanks @joelnishanth.
-- Agents/logging: keep orphaned-user transcript repair warnings focused on interactive runs, and downgrade background-trigger repairs (`heartbeat`, `cron`, `memory`, `overflow`) to debug logs to reduce false-alarm gateway noise.
-- Gateway/node pairing: require `operator.pairing` for node approvals end-to-end, while still requiring `operator.write` or `operator.admin` when the pending node commands need those higher scopes. (#60461) Thanks @eleqtrizit.
-- Providers/OpenRouter: gate Anthropic prompt-cache `cache_control` markers to native/default OpenRouter routes and preserve them for native OpenRouter hosts behind custom provider ids. Thanks @vincentkoc.
-- Browser/CDP: validate both initial and discovered CDP websocket endpoints before connect so strict SSRF policy blocks cross-host pivots and direct websocket targets. (#60469) Thanks @eleqtrizit.
-- Browser/profiles: reject remote browser profile `cdpUrl` values that violate strict SSRF policy before saving config, with clearer validation errors for blocked endpoints. (#60477) Thanks @eleqtrizit.
-- Browser/screenshots: stop sending `fromSurface: false` on CDP screenshots so managed Chrome 146+ browsers can capture images again. (#60682) Thanks @mvanhorn.
-- Mattermost/slash commands: harden native slash-command callback token validation to use constant-time secret comparison, matching the existing interaction-token path.
-- Control UI/mobile chat: reduce narrow-screen overflow by shrinking the chat pane minimum width, removing extra mobile padding, widening message groups, and hiding avatars on very small screens. (#60220) Thanks @macdao.
-- Android/Talk Mode: route spoken replies through `talk.speak`, keep compressed playback cleanup deterministic, and fall back to local TTS for legacy gateways that omit Talk error reasons. (#60954) Thanks @obviyus.
-- Android/Talk Mode: keep reply-speaker routing and teardown behavior aligned with the new remote playback path. (#60954) Thanks @MKV21.

+- Tasks/gateway: keep the task registry maintenance sweep from stalling the gateway event loop under synchronous SQLite pressure, so upgraded gateways stop hanging about a minute after startup. (#58670) Thanks @openperf
+- Tasks/gateway: re-check the current task record before maintenance marks runs lost or prunes them, so a task heartbeat or cleanup update that lands during a sweep no longer gets overwritten by stale snapshot state.
+- Subagents/tasks: keep subagent completion and cleanup from crashing when task-registry writes fail, so a corrupt or missing task row no longer takes down the gateway during lifecycle finalization. Thanks @vincentkoc.
+- Gateway/reload: ignore startup config writes by persisted hash in the config reloader so generated auth tokens and seeded Control UI origins do not trigger a restart loop, while real `gateway.auth.*` edits still require restart. (#58678) Thanks @yelog
+- Exec/approvals: honor `exec-approvals.json` security defaults when inline or configured tool policy is unset, and keep Slack and Discord native approval handling aligned with inferred approvers and real channel enablement so remote exec stops falling into false approval timeouts and disabled states. Thanks @scoootscooob and @vincentkoc.
+- Exec/approvals: make `allow-always` persist as durable user-approved trust instead of behaving like `allow-once`, reuse exact-command trust on shell-wrapper paths that cannot safely persist an executable allowlist entry, keep static allowlist entries from silently bypassing `ask:"always"`, and require explicit approval when Windows cannot build an allowlist execution plan instead of hard-dead-ending remote exec. Thanks @scoootscooob and @vincentkoc.
+- Exec/cron: resolve isolated cron no-route approval dead-ends from the effective host fallback policy when trusted automation is allowed, and make `openclaw doctor` warn when `tools.exec` is broader than `~/.openclaw/exec-approvals.json` so stricter host-policy conflicts are explicit.

+- CDP/profiles: prefer `cdpPort` over stale WebSocket URLs so browser automation reconnects cleanly. (#58499) Thanks @Mlightsnow.
+- Media/paths: resolve relative `MEDIA` paths against the agent workspace so local attachment references keep working. (#58624) Thanks @aquaright1.
+- Memory/session indexing: keep full reindexes from skipping session transcripts when sync is triggered by `session-start` or `watch`, so restart-driven reindexes preserve session memory. (#39732) Thanks @upupc
+- Memory/QMD: prefer `--mask` over `--glob` when creating QMD collections so default memory collections keep their intended patterns and stop colliding on restart. (#58643) Thanks @GitZhangChi.
+- Sandbox/browser: compare browser runtime inspection against `agents.defaults.sandbox.browser.image` so `openclaw sandbox list --browser` stops reporting healthy browser containers as image mismatches. (#58759) Thanks @sandpile.
+- Plugins/install: forward `--dangerously-force-unsafe-install` through archive and npm-spec plugin installs so the documented override reaches the security scanner on those install paths. (#58879) Thanks @ryanlee-gemini.

+- Agents/Anthropic: preserve thinking blocks and signatures across replay, cache-control patching, and context pruning so compacted Anthropic sessions continue working instead of failing on later turns. (#58916) Thanks @obviyus
+- Agents/Anthropic: recover cleanly after a crash leaves the latest assistant turn with incomplete thinking blocks, dropping or retrying the corrupted turn instead of getting stuck on later Anthropic requests. Thanks @explainanalyze. Maintainer refresh: vincentkoc.
 - Agents/failover: unify structured and raw provider error classification so provider-specific `400`/`422` payloads no longer get forced into generic format failures before retry, billing, or compaction logic can inspect them. (#58856) Thanks @aaron-he-zhu.
 - Auth profiles/store: coerce misplaced SecretRef objects out of plaintext `key` and `token` fields during store load so agents without ACP runtime stop crashing on `.trim()` after upgrade. (#58923) Thanks @openperf.
 - ACPX/runtime: repair `queue owner unavailable` session recovery by replacing dead named sessions and resuming the backend session when ACPX exposes a stable session id, so the first ACP prompt no longer inherits a dead handle. (#58669) Thanks @neeravmakwana
 - ACPX/runtime: retry dead-session queue-owner repair without `--resume-session` when the reported ACPX session id is stale, so recovery still creates a fresh named session instead of failing session init. Thanks @obviyus.
-- Tools/web_search (Kimi): replay native Moonshot `$web_search` arguments verbatim, disable thinking for `kimi-k2.5`, and add Moonshot region/model setup prompts so bundled Kimi web search works again. (#59356) Thanks @Innocent-children.
+- Auth/OpenAI Codex: persist plugin-refreshed OAuth credentials to `auth-profiles.json` before returning them, so rotated Codex refresh tokens survive restart and stop falling into `refresh_token_reused` loops. (#53082)

+### Breaking
+
+- Nodes/exec: remove the duplicated `nodes.run` shell wrapper from the CLI and agent `nodes` tool so node shell execution always goes through `exec host=node`, keeping node-specific capabilities on `nodes invoke` and the dedicated media/location/notify actions.
+- Plugin SDK: deprecate the legacy provider compat subpaths plus the older bundled provider setup and channel-runtime compatibility shims, emit migration warnings, and keep the current documented `openclaw/plugin-sdk/*` entrypoints plus local `api.ts` / `runtime-api.ts` barrels as the forward path ahead of a future major-release removal.
+- Skills/install and Plugins/install: built-in dangerous-code `critical` findings and install-time scan failures now fail closed by default, so plugin installs and gateway-backed skill dependency installs that previously succeeded may now require an explicit dangerous override such as `--dangerously-force-unsafe-install` to proceed.
+- Gateway/auth: `trusted-proxy` now rejects mixed shared-token configs, and local-direct fallback requires the configured token instead of implicitly authenticating same-host callers. Thanks @zhangning-agent, @jacobtomlinson, and @vincentkoc.
+- Gateway/node commands: node commands now stay disabled until node pairing is approved, so device pairing alone is no longer enough to expose declared node commands. (#57777) Thanks @jacobtomlinson.
+- Gateway/node events: node-originated runs now stay on a reduced trusted surface, so notification-driven or node-triggered flows that previously relied on broader host/session tool access may need adjustment. (#57691) Thanks @jacobtomlinson.

+- ACP/plugins: add an explicit default-off ACPX plugin-tools MCP bridge config, document the trust boundary, and harden the built-in bridge packaging/logging path so global installs and stdio MCP sessions work reliably. (#56867) Thanks @joe2643.
+- Agents/LLM: add a configurable idle-stream timeout for embedded runner requests so stalled model streams abort cleanly instead of hanging until the broader run timeout fires. (#55072) Thanks @liuy.
+- Agents/MCP: materialize bundle MCP tools with provider-safe names (`serverName__toolName`), support optional `streamable-http` transport selection plus per-server connection timeouts, and preserve real tool results from aborted/error turns unless truncation explicitly drops them. (#49505) Thanks @ziomancer.
+- Android/notifications: add notification-forwarding controls with package filtering, quiet hours, rate limiting, and safer picker behavior for forwarded notification events. (#40175) Thanks @nimbleenigma.
+- Background tasks: turn tasks into a real shared background-run control plane instead of ACP-only bookkeeping by unifying ACP, subagent, cron, and background CLI execution under one SQLite-backed ledger, routing detached lifecycle updates through the executor seam, adding audit/maintenance/status visibility, tightening auto-cleanup and lost-run recovery, improving task awareness in internal status/tool surfaces, and clarifying the split between heartbeat/main-session automation and detached scheduled runs. Thanks @mbelinky and @vincentkoc.
+- Background tasks: add the first linear task flow control surface with `openclaw tasks list|show|cancel`, keep manual multi-task flows separate from one-task auto-sync flows, and surface doctor recovery hints for obviously orphaned or broken flow/task linkage. Thanks @mbelinky and @vincentkoc.
+- Channels/QQ Bot: add QQ Bot as a bundled channel plugin with multi-account setup, SecretRef-aware credentials, slash commands, reminders, and media send/receive support. (#52986) Thanks @sliverp.
+- Diffs: skip unused viewer-versus-file SSR preload work so `diffs` view-only and file-only runs do less render work while keeping mode outputs aligned. (#57909) thanks @gumadeiras.
+- Tasks: add a minimal SQLite-backed task flow registry plus task-to-flow linkage scaffolding, so orchestrated work can start gaining a first-class parent record without changing current task delivery behavior. Thanks @mbelinky and @vincentkoc.
+- Tasks: persist blocked state on one-task task flows and let the same flow reopen cleanly on retry, so blocked detached work can carry a parent-level reason and continue without fragmenting into a new job. Thanks @mbelinky and @vincentkoc.
+- Tasks: route one-task ACP and subagent updates through a parent task-flow owner context, so detached work can emerge back through the intended parent thread/session instead of speaking only as a raw child task. Thanks @mbelinky and @vincentkoc.
+- LINE/outbound media: add LINE image, video, and audio outbound sends on the LINE-specific delivery path, including explicit preview/tracking handling for videos while keeping generic media sends on the existing image-only route. (#45826) Thanks @masatohoshino.
+- Matrix/history: add optional room history context for Matrix group triggers via `channels.matrix.historyLimit`, with per-agent watermarks and retry-safe snapshots so failed trigger retries do not drift into newer room messages. (#57022) thanks @chain710.
+- Matrix/network: add explicit `channels.matrix.proxy` config for routing Matrix traffic through an HTTP(S) proxy, including account-level overrides and matching probe/runtime behavior. (#56931) thanks @patrick-yingxi-pan.
+- Matrix/streaming: add draft streaming so partial Matrix replies update the same message in place instead of sending a new message for each chunk. (#56387) Thanks @jrusz.

+- Agents/tools: make `/tools` show the tools the current agent can actually use right now, add a compact default view with an optional detailed mode, and add a live "Available Right Now" section in the Control UI so it is easier to see what will work before you ask.
+- Microsoft Teams: migrate to the official Teams SDK and add AI-agent UX best practices including streaming 1:1 replies, welcome cards with prompt starters, feedback/reflection, informative status updates, typing indicators, and native AI labeling. (#51808)

 - CLI/skills tables: keep terminal table borders aligned for wide graphemes, use full reported terminal width, and switch a few ambiguous skill icons to Terminal-safe emoji so `openclaw skills` renders more consistently in Terminal.app and iTerm. Thanks @vincentkoc.
 - Memory/Gemini: normalize returned Gemini embeddings across direct query, direct batch, and async batch paths so memory search uses consistent vector handling for Gemini too. (#43409) Thanks @gumadeiras.
 - Agents/failover: recognize additional serialized network errno strings plus `EHOSTDOWN` and `EPIPE` structured codes so transient transport failures trigger timeout failover more reliably. (#42830) Thanks @jnMetaCode.
+- Telegram/model picker: make inline model button selections persist the chosen session model correctly, clear overrides when selecting the configured default, and include effective fallback models in `/models` button validation. (#40105) Thanks @avirweb.
 - Agents/embedded runner: carry provider-observed overflow token counts into compaction so overflow retries and diagnostics use the rejected live prompt size instead of only transcript estimates. (#40357) thanks @rabsef-bicrym.
 - Agents/compaction transcript updates: emit a transcript-update event immediately after successful embedded compaction so downstream listeners observe the post-compact transcript without waiting for a later write. (#25558) thanks @rodrigouroz.
 - Agents/sessions_spawn: use the target agent workspace for cross-agent spawned runs instead of inheriting the caller workspace, so child sessions load the correct workspace-scoped instructions and persona files. (#40176) Thanks @moshehbenavraham.

-## Context Visibility and Allowlists
-
-OpenClaw distinguishes:
-
-- **Trigger authorization**: who can trigger the agent (`dmPolicy`, `groupPolicy`, allowlists, mention gates)
-- **Context visibility**: what supplemental context is provided to the model (reply body, quoted text, thread history, forwarded metadata)
-
-In current releases, allowlists primarily gate triggering and owner-style command access. They do not guarantee universal supplemental-context redaction across every channel/surface.
-
-Current channel behavior is not fully uniform:
-
-- some channels already filter parts of supplemental context by sender allowlist
-- other channels still pass supplemental context as received
-
-Reports that only show supplemental-context visibility differences are typically hardening/consistency findings unless they also demonstrate a documented boundary bypass (auth, policy, approvals, sandbox, or equivalent).
-
-Hardening roadmap may add explicit visibility modes (for example `all`, `allowlist`, `allowlist_quote`) so operators can opt into stricter context filtering with predictable tradeoffs.
-
 ## Agent and Model Assumptions
 
 - The model/agent is **not** a trusted principal. Assume prompt/content injection can manipulate behavior.

-<h3>Breaking</h3>
-<ul>
-<li>Plugins/xAI: move <code>x_search</code> settings from the legacy core <code>tools.web.x_search.*</code> path to the plugin-owned <code>plugins.entries.xai.config.xSearch.*</code> path, standardize <code>x_search</code> auth on <code>plugins.entries.xai.config.webSearch.apiKey</code> / <code>XAI_API_KEY</code>, and migrate legacy config with <code>openclaw doctor --fix</code>. (#59674) Thanks @vincentkoc.</li>
-<li>Plugins/web fetch: move Firecrawl <code>web_fetch</code> config from the legacy core <code>tools.web.fetch.firecrawl.*</code> path to the plugin-owned <code>plugins.entries.firecrawl.config.webFetch.*</code> path, route <code>web_fetch</code> fallback through the new fetch-provider boundary instead of a Firecrawl-only core branch, and migrate legacy config with <code>openclaw doctor --fix</code>. (#59465) Thanks @vincentkoc.</li>
-</ul>
-<h3>Changes</h3>
-<ul>
-<li>Tasks/Task Flow: restore the core Task Flow substrate with managed-vs-mirrored sync modes, durable flow state/revision tracking, and <code>openclaw flows</code> inspection/recovery primitives so background orchestration can persist and be operated separately from plugin authoring layers. (#58930) Thanks @mbelinky.</li>
-<li>Tasks/Task Flow: add managed child task spawning plus sticky cancel intent, so external orchestrators can stop scheduling immediately and let parent Task Flows settle to <code>cancelled</code> once active child tasks finish. (#59610) Thanks @mbelinky.</li>
-<li>Plugins/Task Flow: add a bound <code>api.runtime.taskFlow</code> seam so plugins and trusted authoring layers can create and drive managed Task Flows from host-resolved OpenClaw context without passing owner identifiers on each call. (#59622) Thanks @mbelinky.</li>
-<li>Android/assistant: add assistant-role entrypoints plus Google Assistant App Actions metadata so Android can launch OpenClaw from the assistant trigger and hand prompts into the chat composer. (#59596) Thanks @obviyus.</li>
-<li>Exec defaults: make gateway/node host exec default to YOLO mode by requesting <code>security=full</code> with <code>ask=off</code>, and align host approval-file fallbacks plus docs/doctor reporting with that no-prompt default.</li>
-<li>Providers/runtime: add provider-owned replay hook surfaces for transcript policy, replay cleanup, and reasoning-mode dispatch. (#59143) Thanks @jalehman.</li>
-<li>Plugins/hooks: add <code>before_agent_reply</code> so plugins can short-circuit the LLM with synthetic replies after inline actions. (#20067) Thanks @JoshuaLelon.</li>
-<li>Channels/session routing: move provider-specific session conversation grammar into plugin-owned session-key surfaces, preserving Telegram topic routing and Feishu scoped inheritance across bootstrap, model override, restart, and tool-policy paths.</li>
-<li>Feishu/comments: add a dedicated Drive comment-event flow with comment-thread context resolution, in-thread replies, and <code>feishu_drive</code> comment actions for document collaboration workflows. (#58497) Thanks @wittam-01.</li>
-<li>Matrix/plugin: emit spec-compliant <code>m.mentions</code> metadata across text sends, media captions, edits, poll fallback text, and action-driven edits so Matrix mentions notify reliably in clients like Element. (#59323) Thanks @gumadeiras.</li>
-<li>Diffs: add plugin-owned <code>viewerBaseUrl</code> so viewer links can use a stable proxy/public origin without passing <code>baseUrl</code> on every tool call. (#59341) Related #59227. Thanks @gumadeiras.</li>
-<li>Agents/compaction: resolve <code>agents.defaults.compaction.model</code> consistently for manual <code>/compact</code> and other context-engine compaction paths, so engine-owned compaction uses the configured override model across runtime entrypoints. (#56710) Thanks @oliviareid-svg.</li>
-<li>Agents/compaction: add <code>agents.defaults.compaction.notifyUser</code> so the <code>🧹 Compacting context...</code> start notice is opt-in instead of always being shown. (#54251) Thanks @oguricap0327.</li>
-<li>WhatsApp/reactions: add <code>reactionLevel</code> guidance for agent reactions. Thanks @mcaxtr.</li>
-<li>Exec approvals/channels: auto-enable DM-first native chat approvals when supported channels can infer approvers from existing owner config, while keeping channel fanout explicit and clarifying forwarding versus native approval client config.</li>
-</ul>
-<h3>Fixes</h3>
-<ul>
-<li>Providers/transport policy: centralize request auth, proxy, TLS, and header shaping across shared HTTP, stream, and websocket paths, block insecure TLS/runtime transport overrides, and keep proxy-hop TLS separate from target mTLS settings. (#59682) Thanks @vincentkoc.</li>
-<li>Providers/Copilot: classify native GitHub Copilot API hosts in the shared provider endpoint resolver and harden token-derived proxy endpoint parsing so Copilot base URL routing stays centralized and fails closed on malformed hints. (#59644) Thanks @vincentkoc.</li>
-<li>Providers/streaming headers: centralize default and attribution header merging across OpenAI websocket, embedded-runner, and proxy stream paths so provider-specific headers stay consistent and caller overrides only win where intended. (#59542) Thanks @vincentkoc.</li>
-<li>Providers/media HTTP: centralize base URL normalization, default auth/header injection, and explicit header override handling across shared OpenAI-compatible audio, Deepgram audio, Gemini media/image, and Moonshot video request paths. (#59469) Thanks @vincentkoc.</li>
-<li>Providers/OpenAI-compatible routing: centralize native-vs-proxy request policy so hidden attribution and related OpenAI-family defaults only apply on verified native endpoints across stream, websocket, and shared audio HTTP paths. (#59433) Thanks @vincentkoc.</li>
-<li>Providers/Anthropic routing: centralize native-vs-proxy endpoint classification for direct Anthropic <code>service_tier</code> handling so spoofed or proxied hosts do not inherit native Anthropic defaults. (#59608) Thanks @vincentkoc.</li>
-<li>Gateway/exec loopback: restore legacy-role fallback for empty paired-device token maps and allow silent local role upgrades so local exec and node clients stop failing with pairing-required errors after <code>2026.3.31</code>. (#59092) Thanks @openperf.</li>
-<li>Agents/subagents: pin admin-only subagent gateway calls to <code>operator.admin</code> while keeping <code>agent</code> at least privilege, so <code>sessions_spawn</code> no longer dies on loopback scope-upgrade pairing with <code>close(1008) "pairing required"</code>. (#59555) Thanks @openperf.</li>
-<li>Exec approvals/config: strip invalid <code>security</code>, <code>ask</code>, and <code>askFallback</code> values from <code>~/.openclaw/exec-approvals.json</code> during normalization so malformed policy enums fall back cleanly to the documented defaults instead of corrupting runtime policy resolution. (#59112) Thanks @openperf.</li>
-<li>Exec approvals/doctor: report host policy sources from the real approvals file path and ignore malformed host override values when attributing effective policy conflicts. (#59367) Thanks @gumadeiras.</li>
-<li>Exec/runtime: treat <code>tools.exec.host=auto</code> as routing-only, keep implicit no-config exec on sandbox when available or gateway otherwise, and reject per-call host overrides that would bypass the configured sandbox or host target. (#58897) Thanks @vincentkoc.</li>
-<li>Slack/mrkdwn formatting: add built-in Slack mrkdwn guidance in inbound context so Slack replies stop falling back to generic Markdown patterns that render poorly in Slack. (#59100) Thanks @jadewon.</li>
-<li>WhatsApp/presence: send <code>unavailable</code> presence on connect in self-chat mode so personal-phone users stop losing all push notifications while the gateway is running. (#59410) Thanks @mcaxtr.</li>
-<li>WhatsApp/media: add HTML, XML, and CSS to the MIME map and fall back gracefully for unknown media types instead of dropping the attachment. (#51562) Thanks @bobbyt74.</li>
-<li>Matrix/onboarding: restore guided setup in <code>openclaw channels add</code> and <code>openclaw configure --section channels</code>, while keeping custom plugin wizards on the shared <code>setupWizard</code> seam. (#59462) Thanks @gumadeiras.</li>
-<li>Matrix/streaming: keep live partial previews for the current assistant block while preserving completed block updates as separate messages when <code>channels.matrix.blockStreaming</code> is enabled. (#59384) Thanks @gumadeiras.</li>
-<li>Feishu/comment threads: harden document comment-thread delivery so whole-document comments fall back to <code>add_comment</code>, delayed reply lookups retry more reliably, and user-visible replies avoid reasoning/planning spillover. (#59129) Thanks @wittam-01.</li>
-<li>MS Teams/streaming: strip already-streamed text from fallback block delivery when replies exceed the 4000-character streaming limit so long responses stop duplicating content. (#59297) Thanks @bradgroux.</li>
-<li>Slack/thread context: filter thread starter and history by the effective conversation allowlist without dropping valid open-room, DM, or group DM context. (#58380) Thanks @jacobtomlinson.</li>
-<li>Mattermost/probes: route status probes through the SSRF guard and honor <code>allowPrivateNetwork</code> so connectivity checks stay safe for self-hosted Mattermost deployments. (#58529) Thanks @mappel-nv.</li>
-<li>Zalo/webhook replay: scope replay dedupe key by chat and sender so reused message IDs across different chats or senders no longer collide, and harden metadata reads for partially missing payloads. (#58444)</li>
-<li>QQBot/structured payloads: restrict local file paths to QQ Bot-owned media storage, block traversal outside that root, reduce path leakage in logs, and keep inline image data URLs working. (#58453) Thanks @jacobtomlinson.</li>
-<li>Image generation/providers: route OpenAI, MiniMax, and fal image requests through the shared provider HTTP transport path so custom base URLs, guarded private-network routing, and provider request defaults stay aligned with the rest of provider HTTP. Thanks @vincentkoc.</li>
-<li>Image generation/providers: stop inferring private-network access from configured OpenAI, MiniMax, and fal image base URLs, and cap shared HTTP error-body reads so hostile or misconfigured endpoints fail closed without relaxing SSRF policy or buffering unbounded error payloads. Thanks @vincentkoc.</li>
-<li>Browser/host inspection: keep static Chrome inspection helpers out of the activated browser runtime so <code>openclaw doctor browser</code> and related checks do not eagerly load the bundled browser plugin. (#59471) Thanks @vincentkoc.</li>
-<li>Browser/CDP: normalize trailing-dot localhost absolute-form hosts before loopback checks so remote CDP websocket URLs like <code>ws://localhost.:...</code> rewrite back to the configured remote host. (#59236) Thanks @mappel-nv.</li>
-<li>Agents/output sanitization: strip namespaced <code>antml:thinking</code> blocks from user-visible text so Anthropic-style internal monologue tags do not leak into replies. (#59550) Thanks @obviyus.</li>
-<li>Kimi Coding/tools: normalize Anthropic tool payloads into the OpenAI-compatible function shape Kimi Coding expects so tool calls stop losing required arguments. (#59440) Thanks @obviyus.</li>
-<li>Image tool/paths: resolve relative local media paths against the agent <code>workspaceDir</code> instead of <code>process.cwd()</code> so inputs like <code>inbox/receipt.png</code> pass the local-path allowlist reliably. (#57222) Thanks Priyansh Gupta.</li>
-<li>Podman/launch: remove noisy container output from <code>scripts/run-openclaw-podman.sh</code> and align the Podman install guidance with the quieter startup flow. (#59368) Thanks @sallyom.</li>
-<li>Plugins/runtime: keep LINE reply directives and browser-backed cleanup/reset flows working even when those plugins are disabled while tightening bundled plugin activation guards. (#59412) Thanks @vincentkoc.</li>
-<li>ACP/gateway reconnects: keep ACP prompts alive across transient websocket drops while still failing boundedly when reconnect recovery does not complete. (#59473) Thanks @obviyus.</li>
-<li>ACP/gateway reconnects: reject stale pre-ack ACP prompts after reconnect grace expiry so callers fail cleanly instead of hanging indefinitely when the gateway never confirms the run.</li>
-<li>Gateway/session kill: enforce HTTP operator scopes on session kill requests and gate authorization before session lookup so unauthenticated callers cannot probe session existence. (#59128) Thanks @jacobtomlinson.</li>
-<li>MS Teams/logging: format non-<code>Error</code> failures with the shared unknown-error helper so logs stop collapsing caught SDK or Axios objects into <code>[object Object]</code>. (#59321) Thanks @bradgroux.</li>
-<li>Channels/setup: ignore untrusted workspace channel plugins during setup resolution so a shadowing workspace plugin cannot override built-in channel setup/login flows unless explicitly trusted in config. (#59158) Thanks @mappel-nv.</li>
-<li>Exec/Windows: restore allowlist enforcement with quote-aware <code>argPattern</code> matching across gateway and node exec, and surface accurate dynamic pre-approved executable hints in the exec tool description. (#56285) Thanks @kpngr.</li>
-<li>Gateway: prune empty <code>node-pending-work</code> state entries after explicit acknowledgments and natural expiry so the per-node state map no longer grows indefinitely. (#58179) Thanks @gavyngong.</li>
-<li>Webhooks/secret comparison: replace ad-hoc timing-safe secret comparisons across BlueBubbles, Feishu, Mattermost, Telegram, Twilio, and Zalo webhook handlers with the shared <code>safeEqualSecret</code> helper and reject empty auth tokens in BlueBubbles. (#58432) Thanks @eleqtrizit.</li>
-<li>OpenShell/mirror: constrain <code>remoteWorkspaceDir</code> and <code>remoteAgentWorkspaceDir</code> to the managed <code>/sandbox</code> and <code>/agent</code> roots, and keep mirror sync from overwriting or removing user-added shell roots during config synchronization. (#58515) Thanks @eleqtrizit.</li>
-<li>Plugins/activation: preserve explicit, auto-enabled, and default activation provenance plus reason metadata across CLI, gateway bootstrap, and status surfaces so plugin enablement state stays accurate after auto-enable resolution. (#59641) Thanks @vincentkoc.</li>
-<li>Exec/env: block additional host environment override pivots for package roots, language runtimes, compiler include paths, and credential/config locations so request-scoped exec cannot redirect trusted toolchains or config lookups. (#59233) Thanks @drobison00.</li>
-<li>Dotenv/workspace overrides: block workspace <code>.env</code> files from overriding <code>OPENCLAW_PINNED_PYTHON</code> and <code>OPENCLAW_PINNED_WRITE_PYTHON</code> so trusted helper interpreters cannot be redirected by repo-local env injection. (#58473) Thanks @eleqtrizit.</li>
-<li>Plugins/install: accept JSON5 syntax in <code>openclaw.plugin.json</code> and bundle <code>plugin.json</code> manifests during install/validation, so third-party plugins with trailing commas, comments, or unquoted keys no longer fail to install. (#59084) Thanks @singleGanghood.</li>
-<li>Telegram/exec approvals: rewrite shared <code>/approve … allow-always</code> callback payloads to <code>/approve … always</code> before Telegram button rendering so plugin approval IDs still fit Telegram's <code>callback_data</code> limit and keep the Allow Always action visible. (#59217) Thanks @jameslcowan.</li>
-<li>Cron/exec timeouts: surface timed-out <code>exec</code> and <code>bash</code> failures in isolated cron runs even when <code>verbose: off</code>, including custom session-target cron jobs, so scheduled runs stop failing silently. (#58247) Thanks @skainguyen1412.</li>
-<li>Telegram/exec approvals: fall back to the origin session key for async approval followups and keep resume-failure status delivery sanitized so Telegram followups still land without leaking raw exec metadata. (#59351) Thanks @seonang.</li>
-<li>Node-host/exec approvals: bind <code>pnpm dlx</code> invocations through the approval planner's mutable-script path so the effective runtime command is resolved for approval instead of being left unbound. (#58374)</li>
-<li>Exec/node hosts: stop forwarding the gateway workspace cwd to remote node exec when no workdir was explicitly requested, so cross-platform node approvals fall back to the node default cwd instead of failing with <code>SYSTEM_RUN_DENIED</code>. (#58977) Thanks @Starhappysh.</li>
-<li>Exec approvals/channels: decouple initiating-surface approval availability from native delivery enablement so Telegram, Slack, and Discord still expose approvals when approvers exist and native target routing is configured separately. (#59776) Thanks @joelnishanth.</li>
-</ul>
-<h3>Changes</h3>
-<ul>
-<li>macOS/Voice Wake: add the Voice Wake option to trigger Talk Mode. (#58490) Thanks @SmoothExec.</li>
-<li>Tasks/chat: add <code>/tasks</code> as a chat-native background task board for the current session, with recent task details and agent-local fallback counts when no linked tasks are visible. Related #54226. Thanks @vincentkoc.</li>
-<li>Web search/SearXNG: add the bundled SearXNG provider plugin for <code>web_search</code> with configurable host support. (#57317) Thanks @cgdusek.</li>
-<li>Telegram/errors: add configurable <code>errorPolicy</code> and <code>errorCooldownMs</code> controls so Telegram can suppress repeated delivery errors per account, chat, and topic without muting distinct failures. (#51914) Thanks @chinar-amrutkar</li>
-<li>Gateway/webchat: make <code>chat.history</code> text truncation configurable with <code>gateway.webchat.chatHistoryMaxChars</code> and per-request <code>maxChars</code>, while preserving silent-reply filtering and existing default payload limits. (#58900)</li>
-<li>Amazon Bedrock/Guardrails: add Bedrock Guardrails support to the bundled provider. (#58588) Thanks @MikeORed.</li>
-<li>ZAI/models: add <code>glm-5.1</code> and <code>glm-5v-turbo</code> to the bundled Z.AI provider catalog. (#58793) Thanks @tomsun28</li>
-<li>Agents/default params: add <code>agents.defaults.params</code> for global default provider parameters. (#58548) Thanks @lpender.</li>
-<li>Agents/failover: cap prompt-side and assistant-side same-provider auth-profile retries for rate-limit failures before cross-provider model fallback, add the <code>auth.cooldowns.rateLimitedProfileRotations</code> knob, and document the new fallback behavior. (#58707) Thanks @Forgely3D</li>
-<li>Agents/compaction: resolve <code>agents.defaults.compaction.model</code> consistently for manual <code>/compact</code> and other context-engine compaction paths, so engine-owned compaction uses the configured override model across runtime entrypoints. (#56710) Thanks @oliviareid-svg</li>
-<li>Cron/tools allowlist: add <code>openclaw cron --tools</code> for per-job tool allowlists. (#58504) Thanks @andyk-ms.</li>
-</ul>
-<h3>Fixes</h3>
-<ul>
-<li>Chat/error replies: stop leaking raw provider/runtime failures into external chat channels, return a friendly retry message instead, and add a specific <code>/new</code> hint for Bedrock toolResult/toolUse session mismatches. (#58831) Thanks @ImLukeF.</li>
-<li>Sessions/model switching: keep <code>/model</code> changes queued behind busy runs instead of interrupting the active turn, and retarget queued followups so later work picks up the new model as soon as the current turn finishes.</li>
-<li>Web UI/OpenResponses: preserve rewritten stream snapshots in webchat and keep OpenResponses final streamed text aligned when models rewind earlier output. (#58641) Thanks @neeravmakwana</li>
-<li>Discord/inbound media: pass Discord attachment and sticker downloads through the shared idle-timeout and worker-abort path so slow or stuck inbound media fetches stop hanging message processing. (#58593) Thanks @aquaright1</li>
-<li>Telegram/retries: keep non-idempotent sends on the strict safe-send path, retry wrapped pre-connect failures, and preserve <code>429</code> / <code>retry_after</code> backoff for safe delivery retries. (#51895) Thanks @chinar-amrutkar</li>
-<li>Telegram/exec approvals: route topic-aware exec approval followups through Telegram-owned threading and approval-target parsing, so forum-topic approvals stay in the originating topic instead of falling back to the root chat. (#58783)</li>
-<li>Telegram/local Bot API: preserve media MIME types for absolute-path downloads so local audio files still trigger transcription and other MIME-based handling. (#54603) Thanks @jzakirov</li>
-<li>Channels/WhatsApp: pass inbound message timestamp to model context so the AI can see when WhatsApp messages were sent. (#58590) Thanks @Maninae</li>
-<li>QQBot/voice: lazy-load <code>silk-wasm</code> in <code>audio-convert.ts</code> so qqbot still starts when the optional voice dependency is missing, while voice encode/decode degrades gracefully instead of crashing at module load time. (#58829) Thanks @WideLee.</li>

+            <description><![CDATA[<h2>OpenClaw 2026.3.28</h2>
+<h3>Breaking</h3>
+<ul>
+<li>Providers/Qwen: remove the deprecated <code>qwen-portal-auth</code> OAuth integration for <code>portal.qwen.ai</code>; migrate to Model Studio with <code>openclaw onboard --auth-choice modelstudio-api-key</code>. (#52709) Thanks @pomelo-nwu.</li>
+<li>Config/Doctor: drop automatic config migrations older than two months; very old legacy keys now fail validation instead of being rewritten on load or by <code>openclaw doctor</code>.</li>
+</ul>
+<h3>Changes</h3>
+<ul>
+<li>xAI/tools: move the bundled xAI provider to the Responses API, add first-class <code>x_search</code>, and auto-enable the xAI plugin from owned web-search and tool config so bundled Grok auth/configured search flows work without manual plugin toggles. (#56048) Thanks @huntharo.</li>
+<li>xAI/onboarding: let the bundled Grok web-search plugin offer optional <code>x_search</code> setup during <code>openclaw onboard</code> and <code>openclaw configure --section web</code>, including an x_search model picker with the shared xAI key.</li>
+<li>MiniMax: add image generation provider for <code>image-01</code> model, supporting generate and image-to-image editing with aspect ratio control. (#54487) Thanks @liyuan97.</li>
+<li>Plugins/hooks: add async <code>requireApproval</code> to <code>before_tool_call</code> hooks, letting plugins pause tool execution and prompt the user for approval via the exec approval overlay, Telegram buttons, Discord interactions, or the <code>/approve</code> command on any channel. The <code>/approve</code> command now handles both exec and plugin approvals with automatic fallback. (#55339) Thanks @vaclavbelak and @joshavant.</li>
+<li>ACP/channels: add current-conversation ACP binds for Discord, BlueBubbles, and iMessage so <code>/acp spawn codex --bind here</code> can turn the current chat into a Codex-backed workspace without creating a child thread, and document the distinction between chat surface, ACP session, and runtime workspace.</li>
+<li>OpenAI/apply_patch: enable <code>apply_patch</code> by default for OpenAI and OpenAI Codex models, and align its sandbox policy access with <code>write</code> permissions.</li>
+<li>Plugins/CLI backends: move bundled Claude CLI, Codex CLI, and Gemini CLI inference defaults onto the plugin surface, add bundled Gemini CLI backend support, and replace <code>gateway run --claude-cli-logs</code> with generic <code>--cli-backend-logs</code> while keeping the old flag as a compatibility alias.</li>
+<li>Plugins/startup: auto-load bundled provider and CLI-backend plugins from explicit config refs, so bundled Claude CLI, Codex CLI, and Gemini CLI message-provider setups no longer need manual <code>plugins.allow</code> entries.</li>
+<li>Podman: simplify the container setup around the current rootless user, install the launch helper under <code>~/.local/bin</code>, and document the host-CLI <code>openclaw --container <name> ...</code> workflow instead of a dedicated <code>openclaw</code> service user.</li>
+<li>Slack/tool actions: add an explicit <code>upload-file</code> Slack action that routes file uploads through the existing Slack upload transport, with optional filename/title/comment overrides for channels and DMs.</li>
+<li>Message actions/files: start unifying file-first sends on the canonical <code>upload-file</code> action by adding explicit support for Microsoft Teams and Google Chat, and by exposing BlueBubbles file sends through <code>upload-file</code> while keeping the legacy <code>sendAttachment</code> alias.</li>
+<li>Plugins/Matrix TTS: send auto-TTS replies as native Matrix voice bubbles instead of generic audio attachments. (#37080) thanks @Matthew19990919.</li>
+<li>CLI: add <code>openclaw config schema</code> to print the generated JSON schema for <code>openclaw.json</code>. (#54523) Thanks @kvokka.</li>
+<li>Config/TTS: auto-migrate legacy speech config on normal reads and secret resolution, keep legacy diagnostics for Doctor, and remove regular-mode runtime fallback for old bundled <code>tts.<provider></code> API-key shapes.</li>
+<li>Memory/plugins: move the pre-compaction memory flush plan behind the active memory plugin contract so <code>memory-core</code> owns flush prompts and target-path policy instead of hardcoded core logic.</li>
+<li>MiniMax: trim model catalog to M2.7 only, removing legacy M2, M2.1, M2.5, and VL-01 models. (#54487) Thanks @liyuan97.</li>
+<li>Plugins/runtime: expose <code>runHeartbeatOnce</code> in the plugin runtime <code>system</code> namespace so plugins can trigger a single heartbeat cycle with an explicit delivery target override (e.g. <code>heartbeat: { target: "last" }</code>). (#40299) Thanks @loveyana.</li>
+<li>Agents/compaction: preserve the post-compaction AGENTS refresh on stale-usage preflight compaction for both immediate replies and queued followups. (#49479) Thanks @jared596.</li>
+<li>Agents/compaction: surface safeguard-specific cancel reasons and relabel benign manual <code>/compact</code> no-op cases as skipped instead of failed. (#51072) Thanks @afurm.</li>
+<li>Docs: add <code>pnpm docs:check-links:anchors</code> for Mintlify anchor validation while keeping <code>scripts/docs-link-audit.mjs</code> as the stable link-audit entrypoint. (#55912) Thanks @velvet-shark.</li>
+<li>Tavily: mark outbound API requests with <code>X-Client-Source: openclaw</code> so Tavily can attribute OpenClaw-originated traffic. (#55335) Thanks @lakshyaag-tavily.</li>
+</ul>
+<h3>Fixes</h3>
+<ul>
+<li>Agents/Anthropic: recover unhandled provider stop reasons (e.g. <code>sensitive</code>) as structured assistant errors instead of crashing the agent run. (#56639)</li>
+<li>Google/models: resolve Gemini 3.1 pro, flash, and flash-lite for all Google provider aliases by passing the actual runtime provider ID and adding a template-provider fallback; fix flash-lite prefix ordering. (#56567)</li>
+<li>OpenAI Codex/image tools: register Codex for media understanding and route image prompts through Codex instructions so image analysis no longer fails on missing provider registration or missing <code>instructions</code>. (#54829) Thanks @neeravmakwana.</li>
+<li>Agents/image tool: restore the generic image-runtime fallback when no provider-specific media-understanding provider is registered, so image analysis works again for providers like <code>openrouter</code> and <code>minimax-portal</code>. (#54858) Thanks @MonkeyLeeT.</li>
+<li>WhatsApp: fix infinite echo loop in self-chat DM mode where the bot's own outbound replies were re-processed as new inbound user messages. (#54570) Thanks @joelnishanth</li>
+<li>Telegram/splitting: replace proportional text estimate with verified HTML-length search so long messages split at word boundaries instead of mid-word; gracefully degrade when tag overhead exceeds the limit. (#56595)</li>
+<li>Telegram/delivery: skip whitespace-only and hook-blanked text replies in bot delivery to prevent GrammyError 400 empty-text crashes. (#56620)</li>
+<li>Telegram/send: validate <code>replyToMessageId</code> at all four API sinks with a shared normalizer that rejects non-numeric, NaN, and mixed-content strings. (#56587)</li>
+<li>Mistral: normalize OpenAI-compatible request flags so official Mistral API runs no longer fail with remaining <code>422 status code (no body)</code> chat errors.</li>
+<li>Control UI/config: keep sensitive raw config hidden by default, replace the blank blocked editor with an explicit reveal-to-edit state, and restore raw JSON editing without auto-exposing secrets. Fixes #55322.</li>
+<li>CLI/zsh: defer <code>compdef</code> registration until <code>compinit</code> is available so zsh completion loads cleanly with plugin managers and manual setups. (#56555)</li>
+<li>BlueBubbles/debounce: guard debounce flush against null message text by sanitizing at the enqueue boundary and adding an independent combiner guard. (#56573)</li>
+<li>Auto-reply: suppress JSON-wrapped <code>{"action":"NO_REPLY"}</code> control envelopes before channel delivery with a strict single-key detector; preserves media when text is only a silent envelope. (#56612)</li>
+<li>ACP/ACPX agent registry: align OpenClaw's ACPX built-in agent mirror with the latest <code>openclaw/acpx</code> command defaults and built-in aliases, pin versioned <code>npx</code> built-ins to exact versions, and stop unknown ACP agent ids from falling through to raw <code>--agent</code> command execution on the MCP-proxy path. (#28321) Thanks @m0nkmaster and @vincentkoc.</li>
+<li>Security/audit: extend web search key audit to recognize Gemini, Grok/xAI, Kimi, Moonshot, and OpenRouter credentials via a boundary-safe bundled-web-search registry shim. (#56540)</li>
+<li>Docs/FAQ: remove broken Xfinity SSL troubleshooting cross-links from English and zh-CN FAQ entries — both sections already contain the full workaround inline. (#56500)</li>
+<li>Telegram: deliver verbose tool summaries inside forum topic sessions again, so threaded topic chats now match DM verbose behavior. (#43236) Thanks @frankbuild.</li>
+<li>BlueBubbles/CLI agents: restore inbound prompt image refs for CLI routed turns, reapply embedded runner image size guardrails, and cover both CLI image transport paths with regression tests. (#51373)</li>
+<li>BlueBubbles/groups: optionally enrich unnamed participant lists with local macOS Contacts names after group gating passes, so group member context can show names instead of only raw phone numbers.</li>
+<li>Discord/reconnect: drain stale gateway sockets, clear cached resume state before forced fresh reconnects, and fail closed when old sockets refuse to die so Discord recovery stops looping on poisoned resume state. (#54697) Thanks @ngutman.</li>
+<li>iMessage: stop leaking inline <code>[[reply_to:...]]</code> tags into delivered text by sending <code>reply_to</code> as RPC metadata and stripping stray directive tags from outbound messages. (#39512) Thanks @mvanhorn.</li>
+<li>CLI/plugins: make routed commands use the same auto-enabled bundled-channel snapshot as gateway startup, so configured bundled channels like Slack load without requiring a prior config rewrite. (#54809) Thanks @neeravmakwana.</li>
+<li>CLI/message send: write manual <code>openclaw message send</code> deliveries into the resolved agent session transcript again by always threading the default CLI agent through outbound mirroring. (#54187) Thanks @KevInTheCloud5617.</li>
+<li>CLI/onboarding: show the Kimi Code API key option again in the Moonshot setup menu so the interactive picker includes all Kimi setup paths together. Fixes #54412 Thanks @sparkyrider</li>
+<li>Agents/status: use provider-aware context window lookup for fresh Anthropic 4.6 model overrides so <code>/status</code> shows the correct 1.0m window instead of an underreported shared-cache minimum. (#54796) Thanks @neeravmakwana.</li>
+<li>OpenAI/WebSocket: preserve reasoning replay metadata and tool-call item ids on WebSocket tool turns, and start a fresh response chain when full-context resend is required. (#53856) Thanks @xujingchen1996.</li>
+<li>OpenAI/WS: restore reasoning blocks for Responses WebSocket runs and keep reasoning/tool-call replay metadata intact so resumed sessions do not lose or break follow-up reasoning-capable turns. (#53856) Thanks @xujingchen1996.</li>
+<li>Agents/errors: surface provider quota/reset details when available, but keep HTML/Cloudflare rate-limit pages on the generic fallback so raw error pages are not shown to users. (#54512) Thanks @bugkill3r.</li>
+<li>Claude CLI: switch the bundled Claude CLI backend to <code>stream-json</code> output so watchdogs see progress on long runs, and keep session/usage metadata even when Claude finishes with an empty result line. (#49698) Thanks @felear2022.</li>
+<li>Claude CLI/MCP: always pass a strict generated <code>--mcp-config</code> overlay for background Claude CLI runs, including the empty-server case, so Claude does not inherit ambient user/global MCP servers. (#54961) Thanks @markojak.</li>
+<li>Agents/embedded replies: surface mid-turn 429 and overload failures when embedded runs end without a user-visible reply, while preserving successful media-only replies that still use legacy <code>mediaUrl</code>. (#50930) Thanks @infichen.</li>
+<li>Chat/UI: move the chat send button onto the shared ghost-button theme styling, while keeping the stop button icon readable on the danger state. (#55075) Thanks @bottenbenny.</li>
+<li>WhatsApp/allowFrom: show a specific allowFrom policy error for valid blocked targets instead of the misleading <code><E.164|group JID></code> format hint. Thanks @mcaxtr.</li>
+<li>Agents/cooldowns: scope rate-limit cooldowns per model so one 429 no longer blocks every model on the same auth profile, replace the exponential 1 min -> 1 h escalation with a stepped 30 s / 1 min / 5 min ladder, and surface a user-facing countdown message when all models are rate-limited. (#49834) Thanks @kiranvk-2011.</li>
+<li>Agents/embedded transport errors: distinguish common network failures like connection refused, DNS lookup failure, and interrupted sockets from true timeouts in embedded-run user messaging and lifecycle diagnostics. (#51419) Thanks @scoootscooob.</li>
+<li>Telegram/pairing: ignore self-authored DM <code>message</code> updates so bot-pinned status cards and similar service updates do not trigger bogus pairing requests or re-enter inbound dispatch. (#54530) thanks @huntharo</li>
+<li>Mattermost/replies: keep pairing replies, slash-command fallback replies, and model-picker messages on the resolved config path so <code>exec:</code> SecretRef bot tokens work across all outbound reply branches. (#48347) thanks @mathiasnagler.</li>
+<li>Microsoft Teams/config: accept the existing <code>welcomeCard</code>, <code>groupWelcomeCard</code>, <code>promptStarters</code>, and feedback/reflection keys in strict config validation so already-supported Teams runtime settings stop failing schema checks. (#54679) Thanks @gumclaw.</li>
+<li>MCP/channels: add a Gateway-backed channel MCP bridge with Codex/Claude-facing conversation tools, Claude channel notifications, and safer stdio bridge lifecycle handling for reconnects and routed session discovery.</li>
+<li>Plugins/SDK: thread <code>moduleUrl</code> through plugin-sdk alias resolution so user-installed plugins outside the openclaw directory correctly resolve <code>openclaw/plugin-sdk/*</code> subpath imports, and gate <code>plugin-sdk:check-exports</code> in <code>release:check</code>. (#54283) Thanks @xieyongliang.</li>
+<li>Config/web fetch: allow the documented <code>tools.web.fetch.maxResponseBytes</code> setting in runtime schema validation so valid configs no longer fail with unrecognized-key errors. (#53401) Thanks @erhhung.</li>
+<li>Message tool/buttons: keep the shared <code>buttons</code> schema optional in merged tool definitions so plain <code>action=send</code> calls stop failing validation when no buttons are provided. (#54418) Thanks @adzendo.</li>
+<li>Agents/openai-compatible tool calls: deduplicate repeated tool call ids across live assistant messages and replayed history so OpenAI-compatible backends no longer reject duplicate <code>tool_call_id</code> values with HTTP 400. (#40996) Thanks @xaeon2026.</li>
+<li>Models/openai-completions: default non-native OpenAI-compatible providers to omit tool-definition <code>strict</code> fields unless users explicitly opt back in, so tool calling keeps working on providers that reject that option. (#45497) Thanks @sahancava.</li>
+<li>Plugins/context engines: retry strict legacy <code>assemble()</code> calls without the new <code>prompt</code> field when older engines reject it, preserving prompt-aware retrieval compatibility for pre-prompt plugins. (#50848) thanks @danhdoan.</li>
+<li>CLI/update status: explicitly say <code>up to date</code> when the local version already matches npm latest, while keeping the availability logic unchanged. (#51409) Thanks @dongzhenye.</li>
+<li>Daemon/Linux: stop flagging non-gateway systemd services as duplicate gateways just because their unit files mention OpenClaw, reducing false-positive doctor/log noise. (#45328) Thanks @gregretkowski.</li>
+<li>Feishu: close WebSocket connections on monitor stop/abort so ghost connections no longer persist, preventing duplicate event processing and resource leaks across restart cycles. (#52844) Thanks @schumilin.</li>
+<li>Feishu: use the original message <code>create_time</code> instead of <code>Date.now()</code> for inbound timestamps so offline-retried messages carry the correct authoring time, preventing mis-targeted agent actions on stale instructions. (#52809) Thanks @schumilin.</li>
+<li>Control UI/Skills: open skill detail dialogs with the browser modal lifecycle so clicking a skill row keeps the panel centered instead of rendering it off-screen at the bottom of the page.</li>
+<li>Matrix/replies: include quoted poll question/options in inbound reply context so the agent sees the original poll content when users reply to Matrix poll messages. (#55056) Thanks @alberthild.</li>
+<li>Matrix/plugins: keep plugin bootstrap from crashing when built runtime mixes bare and deep <code>matrix-js-sdk</code> entrypoints, so unrelated channels do not get taken down during plugin load. (#56273) Thanks @aquaright1.</li>
+<li>Agents/sandbox: honor <code>tools.sandbox.tools.alsoAllow</code>, let explicit sandbox re-allows remove matching built-in default-deny tools, and keep sandbox explain/error guidance aligned with the effective sandbox tool policy. (#54492) Thanks @ngutman.</li>
+<li>Agents/sandbox: make blocked-tool guidance glob-aware again, redact/sanitize session-specific explain hints for safer copy-paste, and avoid leaking control-character session keys in those hints. (#54684) Thanks @ngutman.</li>
+<li>Agents/compaction: trigger timeout recovery compaction before retrying high-context LLM timeouts so embedded runs stop repeating oversized requests. (#46417) thanks @joeykrug.</li>
+<li>Agents/compaction: reconcile <code>sessions.json.compactionCount</code> after a late embedded auto-compaction success so persisted session counts catch up once the handler reports completion. (#45493) Thanks @jackal092927.</li>
+<li>Agents/failover: classify Codex accountId token extraction failures as auth errors so model fallback continues to the next configured candidate. (#55206) Thanks @cosmicnet.</li>
+<li>Plugins/runtime: reuse only compatible active plugin registries across tools, providers, web search, and channel bootstrap, align <code>/tools/invoke</code> plugin loading with the session workspace, and retry outbound channel recovery when the pinned channel surface changes so plugin tools and channels stop disappearing or re-registering from mismatched runtime loads. Thanks @gumadeiras.</li>
+<li>Talk/macOS: stop direct system-voice failures from replaying system speech, use app-locale fallback for shared watchdog timing, and add regression coverage for the macOS fallback route and language-aware timeout policy. (#53511) thanks @hongsw.</li>
+<li>Discord/gateway cleanup: keep late Carbon reconnect-exhausted errors suppressed through startup/dispose cleanup so Discord monitor shutdown no longer crashes on late gateway close events. (#55373) Thanks @Takhoffman.</li>
+<li>Discord/gateway shutdown: treat expected reconnect-exhausted events during intentional lifecycle stop as clean shutdowns so startup-abort cleanup no longer surfaces false gateway failures. (#55324) Thanks @joelnishanth.</li>
+<li>Discord/gateway shutdown: suppress reconnect-exhausted events that were already buffered before teardown flips <code>lifecycleStopping</code>, so stale-socket Discord restarts no longer crash the whole gateway. Fixes #55403 and #55421. Thanks @lml2468 and @vincentkoc.</li>
+<li>GitHub Copilot/auth refresh: treat large <code>expires_at</code> values as seconds epochs and clamp far-future runtime auth refresh timers so Copilot token refresh cannot fall into a <code>setTimeout</code> overflow hot loop. (#55360) Thanks @michael-abdo.</li>
+<li>Agents/status: use the persisted runtime session model in <code>session_status</code> when no explicit override exists, and honor per-agent <code>thinkingDefault</code> in both <code>session_status</code> and <code>/status</code>. (#55425) Thanks @scoootscooob, @xaeon2026, and @ysfbsf.</li>
+<li>Heartbeat/runner: guarantee the interval timer is re-armed after heartbeat runs and unexpected runner errors so scheduled heartbeats do not silently stop after an interrupted cycle. (#52270) Thanks @MiloStack.</li>
+<li>Config/Doctor: rewrite stale bundled plugin load paths from legacy bundled-plugin locations to the packaged bundled path, including directory-name mismatches and slash-suffixed config entries. (#55054) Thanks @SnowSky1.</li>
+<li>WhatsApp/mentions: stop treating mentions embedded in quoted messages as direct mentions so replying to a message that @mentioned the bot no longer falsely triggers mention gating. (#52711) Thanks @lurebat.</li>
+<li>Matrix: keep separate 2-person rooms out of DM routing after <code>m.direct</code> seeds successfully, while still honoring explicit <code>is_direct</code> state and startup fallback recovery. (#54890) thanks @private-peter</li>
+<li>Agents/ollama fallback: surface non-2xx Ollama HTTP errors with a leading status code so HTTP 503 responses trigger model fallback again. (#55214) Thanks @bugkill3r.</li>
+<li>Feishu/tools: stop synthetic agent ids like <code>agent-spawner</code> from being treated as Feishu account ids during tool execution, so tools fall back to the configured/default Feishu account unless the contextual id is a real enabled Feishu account. (#55627) Thanks @MonkeyLeeT.</li>
+<li>Google/tools: strip empty <code>required: []</code> arrays from Gemini tool schemas so optional-only tool parameters no longer trigger Google validator 400s. (#52106) Thanks @oliviareid-svg.</li>
+<li>Onboarding/TUI/local gateways: show the resolved gateway port in setup output, clarify no-daemon local health/dashboard messaging, and preserve loopback Control UI auth on reruns and explicit local gateway URLs so local quickstart flows recover cleanly. (#55730) Thanks @shakkernerd.</li>
+<li>TUI/chat log: keep system messages as single logical entries and prune overflow at whole-message boundaries so wrapped system spacing stays intact. (#55732) Thanks @shakkernerd.</li>
+<li>TUI/activation: validate <code>/activation</code> arguments in the TUI and reject invalid values instead of silently coercing them to <code>mention</code>. (#55733) Thanks @shakkernerd.</li>
+<li>Agents/model switching: apply <code>/model</code> changes to active embedded runs at the next safe retry boundary, so overloaded or retrying turns switch to the newly selected model instead of staying pinned to the old provider.</li>
+<li>Agents/Codex fallback: classify Codex <code>server_error</code> payloads as failoverable, sanitize <code>Codex error:</code> payloads before they reach chat, preserve context-overflow guidance for prefixed <code>invalid_request_error</code> payloads, and omit provider <code>request_id</code> values from user-facing UI copy. (#42892) Thanks @xaeon2026.</li>
+<li>Memory/search: share memory embedding provider registrations across split plugin runtimes so memory search no longer fails with unknown provider errors after memory-core registers built-in adapters. (#55945) Thanks @glitch418x.</li>
+<li>Discord/Carbon beta: update <code>@buape/carbon</code> to the latest beta and pass the new <code>RateLimitError</code> request argument so Discord stays compatible with the upstream beta constructor change. (#55980) Thanks @ngutman.</li>
+<li>Plugins/inbound claims: pass full inbound attachment arrays through <code>inbound_claim</code> hook metadata while keeping the legacy singular media attachment fields for compatibility. (#55452) Thanks @huntharo.</li>
+<li>Plugins/Matrix: preserve sender filenames for inbound media by forwarding <code>originalFilename</code> to <code>saveMediaBuffer</code>. (#55692) thanks @esrehmki.</li>
+<li>Matrix/mentions: recognize <code>matrix.to</code> mentions whose visible label uses the bot's room display name, so <code>requireMention: true</code> rooms respond correctly in modern Matrix clients. (#55393) thanks @nickludlam.</li>
+<li>Ollama/thinking off: route <code>thinkingLevel=off</code> through the live Ollama extension request path so thinking-capable Ollama models now receive top-level <code>think: false</code> instead of silently generating hidden reasoning tokens. (#53200) Thanks @BruceMacD.</li>
+<li>Plugins/diffs: stage bundled <code>@pierre/diffs</code> runtime dependencies during packaged updates so the bundled diff viewer keeps loading after global installs and updates. (#56077) Thanks @gumadeiras.</li>
+<li>Plugins/diffs: load bundled Pierre themes without JSON module imports so diff rendering keeps working on newer Node builds. (#45869) thanks @NickHood1984.</li>
+<li>Plugins/uninstall: remove owned <code>channels.<id></code> config when uninstalling channel plugins, and keep the uninstall preview aligned with explicit channel ownership so built-in channels and shared keys stay intact. (#35915) Thanks @wbxl2000.</li>
+<li>Plugins/Matrix: prefer explicit DM signals when choosing outbound direct rooms and routing unmapped verification summaries, so strict 2-person fallback rooms do not outrank the real DM. (#56076) thanks @gumadeiras</li>
+<li>Plugins/Matrix: resolve env-backed <code>accessToken</code> and <code>password</code> SecretRefs against the active Matrix config env path during startup, and officially accept SecretRef <code>accessToken</code> config values. (#54980) thanks @kakahu2015.</li>
+<li>Microsoft Teams/proactive DMs: prefer the freshest personal conversation reference for <code>user:<aadObjectId></code> sends when multiple stored references exist, so replies stop targeting stale DM threads. (#54702) Thanks @gumclaw.</li>
+<li>Gateway/plugins: reuse the session workspace when building HTTP <code>/tools/invoke</code> tool lists and harden tool construction to infer the session agent workspace by default, so workspace plugins do not re-register on repeated HTTP tool calls. (#56101) thanks @neeravmakwana</li>
+<li>Brave/web search: normalize unsupported Brave <code>country</code> filters to <code>ALL</code> before request and cache-key generation so locale-derived values like <code>VN</code> stop failing with upstream 422 validation errors. (#55695) Thanks @chen-zhang-cs-code.</li>
+<li>Discord/replies: preserve leading indentation when stripping inline reply tags so reply-tagged plain text and fenced code blocks keep their formatting. (#55960) Thanks @Nanako0129.</li>
+<li>Daemon/status: surface immediate gateway close reasons from lightweight probes and prefer those concrete auth or pairing failures over generic timeouts in <code>openclaw daemon status</code>. (#56282) Thanks @mbelinky.</li>
+<li>Agents/failover: classify HTTP 410 errors as retryable timeouts by default while still preserving explicit session-expired, billing, and auth signals from the payload. (#55201) thanks @nikus-pan.</li>
+<li>Agents/subagents: restore completion announce delivery for extension channels like BlueBubbles. (#56348)</li>
+<li>Plugins/Matrix: load bundled <code>@matrix-org/matrix-sdk-crypto-nodejs</code> through <code>createRequire(...)</code> so E2EE media send and receive keep the package-local native binding lookup working in packaged ESM builds. (#54566) thanks @joelnishanth.</li>
+<li>Plugins/Matrix: encrypt E2EE image thumbnails with <code>thumbnail_file</code> while keeping unencrypted-room previews on <code>thumbnail_url</code>, so encrypted Matrix image events keep thumbnail metadata without leaking plaintext previews. (#54711) thanks @frischeDaten.</li>
+<li>Telegram/forum topics: keep native <code>/new</code> and <code>/reset</code> routed to the active topic by preserving the topic target on forum-thread command context. (#35963)</li>

-# Cron vs Heartbeat
+# Cron vs Heartbeat: When to Use Each
 
-This page moved to [Automation & Tasks](/automation). See [Automation & Tasks](/automation) for the decision guide comparing cron and heartbeat.
+Both heartbeats and cron jobs let you run tasks on a schedule. This guide helps you choose the right mechanism for your use case.
+
+One important distinction:
+
+- **Heartbeat** is a scheduled **main-session turn** — no task record created.
+- **Cron (main)** is a scheduled **system event into the main session** — creates a task record with `silent` notify policy.
+- **Cron (isolated)** is a scheduled **background run** — creates a task record tracked in `openclaw tasks`.
+
+All cron job executions (main and isolated) create [task records](/automation/tasks). Heartbeat turns do not. Main-session cron tasks use `silent` notify policy by default so they do not generate notifications.
+
+## Quick Decision Guide
+
+| Use Case                             | Recommended         | Why                                      |
+| ------------------------------------ | ------------------- | ---------------------------------------- |
+| Check inbox every 30 min             | Heartbeat           | Batches with other checks, context-aware |
+| Send daily report at 9am sharp       | Cron (isolated)     | Exact timing needed                      |
+| Monitor calendar for upcoming events | Heartbeat           | Natural fit for periodic awareness       |
+| Run weekly deep analysis             | Cron (isolated)     | Standalone task, can use different model |
+| Remind me in 20 minutes              | Cron (main, `--at`) | One-shot with precise timing             |
+| Background project health check      | Heartbeat           | Piggybacks on existing cycle             |
+
+## Heartbeat: Periodic Awareness
+
+Heartbeats run in the **main session** at a regular interval (default: 30 min). They're designed for the agent to check on things and surface anything important.
+
+### When to use heartbeat
+
+- **Multiple periodic checks**: Instead of 5 separate cron jobs checking inbox, calendar, weather, notifications, and project status, a single heartbeat can batch all of these.
+- **Context-aware decisions**: The agent has full main-session context, so it can make smart decisions about what's urgent vs. what can wait.
+- **Conversational continuity**: Heartbeat runs share the same session, so the agent remembers recent conversations and can follow up naturally.
+- **Low-overhead monitoring**: One heartbeat replaces many small polling tasks.
+
+### Heartbeat advantages
+
+- **Batches multiple checks**: One agent turn can review inbox, calendar, and notifications together.
+- **Reduces API calls**: A single heartbeat is cheaper than 5 isolated cron jobs.
+- **Context-aware**: The agent knows what you've been working on and can prioritize accordingly.
+- **Smart suppression**: If nothing needs attention, the agent replies `HEARTBEAT_OK` and no message is delivered.
+- **Natural timing**: Drifts slightly based on queue load, which is fine for most monitoring.
+- **No task record**: heartbeat turns stay in main-session history (see [Background Tasks](/automation/tasks)).
+
+### Heartbeat example: HEARTBEAT.md checklist
+
+```md
+# Heartbeat checklist
+
+- Check email for urgent messages
+- Review calendar for events in next 2 hours
+- If a background task finished, summarize results
+- If idle for 8+ hours, send a brief check-in
+```
+
+The agent reads this on each heartbeat and handles all items in one turn.
+
+### Configuring heartbeat
+
+```json5
+{
+  agents: {
+    defaults: {
+      heartbeat: {
+        every: "30m", // interval
+        target: "last", // explicit alert delivery target (default is "none")
+        activeHours: { start: "08:00", end: "22:00" }, // optional
+      },
+    },
+  },
+}
+```
+
+See [Heartbeat](/gateway/heartbeat) for full configuration.
+
+## Cron: Precise Scheduling
+
+Cron jobs run at precise times and can run in isolated sessions without affecting main context.
+Recurring top-of-hour schedules are automatically spread by a deterministic
+per-job offset in a 0-5 minute window.
+
+### When to use cron
+
+- **Exact timing required**: "Send this at 9:00 AM every Monday" (not "sometime around 9").
+- **Standalone tasks**: Tasks that don't need conversational context.
+- **Different model/thinking**: Heavy analysis that warrants a more powerful model.
+- **One-shot reminders**: "Remind me in 20 minutes" with `--at`.
+- **Noisy/frequent tasks**: Tasks that would clutter main session history.
+- **External triggers**: Tasks that should run independently of whether the agent is otherwise active.
+
+### Cron advantages
+
+- **Precise timing**: 5-field or 6-field (seconds) cron expressions with timezone support.
+- **Built-in load spreading**: recurring top-of-hour schedules are staggered by up to 5 minutes by default.
+- **Per-job control**: override stagger with `--stagger <duration>` or force exact timing with `--exact`.
+- **Session isolation**: Runs in `cron:<jobId>` without polluting main history.
+- **Model overrides**: Use a cheaper or more powerful model per job.
+- **Delivery control**: Isolated jobs default to `announce` (summary); choose `none` as needed.
+- **Immediate delivery**: Announce mode posts directly without waiting for heartbeat.
+- **No agent context needed**: Runs even if main session is idle or compacted.
+- **One-shot support**: `--at` for precise future timestamps.
+- **Task tracking**: isolated jobs create [background task](/automation/tasks) records visible in `openclaw tasks` and `openclaw tasks audit`.
+
+### Cron example: Daily morning briefing
+
+```bash
+openclaw cron add \
+  --name "Morning briefing" \
+  --cron "0 7 * * *" \
+  --tz "America/New_York" \
+  --session isolated \
+  --message "Generate today's briefing: weather, calendar, top emails, news summary." \
+  --model opus \
+  --announce \
+  --channel whatsapp \
+  --to "+15551234567"
+```
+
+This runs at exactly 7:00 AM New York time, uses Opus for quality, and announces a summary directly to WhatsApp.
+
+### Cron example: One-shot reminder
+
+```bash
+openclaw cron add \
+  --name "Meeting reminder" \
+  --at "20m" \
+  --session main \
+  --system-event "Reminder: standup meeting starts in 10 minutes." \
+  --wake now \
+  --delete-after-run
+```
+
+See [Cron jobs](/automation/cron-jobs) for full CLI reference.
+
+## Decision Flowchart
+
+```
+Does the task need to run at an EXACT time?
+  YES -> Use cron
+  NO  -> Continue...
+
+Does the task need isolation from main session?
+  YES -> Use cron (isolated)
+  NO  -> Continue...
+
+Can this task be batched with other periodic checks?
+  YES -> Use heartbeat (add to HEARTBEAT.md)
+  NO  -> Use cron
+
+Is this a one-shot reminder?
+  YES -> Use cron with --at
+  NO  -> Continue...
+
+Does it need a different model or thinking level?
+  YES -> Use cron (isolated) with --model/--thinking
+  NO  -> Use heartbeat
+```
+
+## Combining Both
+
+The most efficient setup uses **both**:
+
+1. **Heartbeat** handles routine monitoring (inbox, calendar, notifications) in one batched turn every 30 minutes.
+2. **Cron** handles precise schedules (daily reports, weekly reviews) and one-shot reminders.
+
+### Example: Efficient automation setup
+
+**HEARTBEAT.md** (checked every 30 min):
+
+```md
+# Heartbeat checklist
+
+- Scan inbox for urgent emails
+- Check calendar for events in next 2h
+- Review any pending tasks
+- Light check-in if quiet for 8+ hours
+```
+
+**Cron jobs** (precise timing):
+
+```bash
+# Daily morning briefing at 7am
+openclaw cron add --name "Morning brief" --cron "0 7 * * *" --session isolated --message "..." --announce
+
+# Weekly project review on Mondays at 9am
+openclaw cron add --name "Weekly review" --cron "0 9 * * 1" --session isolated --message "..." --model opus
+
+# One-shot reminder
+openclaw cron add --name "Call back" --at "2h" --session main --system-event "Call back the client" --wake now
+```
+
+## Lobster: Deterministic workflows with approvals
+
+Lobster is the workflow runtime for **multi-step tool pipelines** that need deterministic execution and explicit approvals.
+Use it when the task is more than a single agent turn, and you want a resumable workflow with human checkpoints.
+
+### When Lobster fits
+
+- **Multi-step automation**: You need a fixed pipeline of tool calls, not a one-off prompt.
+- **Approval gates**: Side effects should pause until you approve, then resume.
+- **Resumable runs**: Continue a paused workflow without re-running earlier steps.
+
+### How it pairs with heartbeat and cron
+
+- **Heartbeat/cron** decide _when_ a run happens.
+- **Lobster** defines _what steps_ happen once the run starts.
+
+For scheduled workflows, use cron or heartbeat to trigger an agent turn that calls Lobster.
+For ad-hoc workflows, call Lobster directly.
+
+### Operational notes (from the code)
+
+- Lobster runs as a **local subprocess** (`lobster` CLI) in tool mode and returns a **JSON envelope**.
+- If the tool returns `needs_approval`, you resume with a `resumeToken` and `approve` flag.
+- The tool is an **optional plugin**; enable it additively via `tools.alsoAllow: ["lobster"]` (recommended).
+- Lobster expects the `lobster` CLI to be available on `PATH`.
+
+See [Lobster](/tools/lobster) for full usage and examples.
+
+## Main Session vs Isolated Session
+
+Both heartbeat and cron can interact with the main session, but differently:
+
+|                            | Heartbeat                       | Cron (main)              | Cron (isolated)                                 |
+| -------------------------- | ------------------------------- | ------------------------ | ----------------------------------------------- |
+| Session                    | Main                            | Main (via system event)  | `cron:<jobId>` or custom session                |
+| History                    | Shared                          | Shared                   | Fresh each run (isolated) / Persistent (custom) |
+| Context                    | Full                            | Full                     | None (isolated) / Cumulative (custom)           |
+| Model                      | Main session model              | Main session model       | Can override                                    |
+| Output                     | Delivered if not `HEARTBEAT_OK` | Heartbeat prompt + event | Announce summary (default)                      |
+| [Tasks](/automation/tasks) | No task record                  | Task record (silent)     | Task record (visible in `openclaw tasks`)       |
+
+### When to use main session cron
+
+Use `--session main` with `--system-event` when you want:
+
+- The reminder/event to appear in main session context
+- The agent to handle it during the next heartbeat with full context
+- No separate isolated run
+
+```bash
+openclaw cron add \
+  --name "Check project" \
+  --every "4h" \
+  --session main \
+  --system-event "Time for a project health check" \
+  --wake now
+```
+
+### When to use isolated cron
+
+Use `--session isolated` when you want:
+
+- A clean slate without prior context
+- Different model or thinking settings
+- Announce summaries directly to a channel
+- History that doesn't clutter main session
+
+```bash
+openclaw cron add \
+  --name "Deep analysis" \
+  --cron "0 6 * * 0" \
+  --session isolated \
+  --message "Weekly codebase analysis..." \
+  --model opus \
+  --thinking high \
+  --announce
+```
+
+## Cost Considerations
+
+| Mechanism       | Cost Profile                                            |
+| --------------- | ------------------------------------------------------- |
+| Heartbeat       | One turn every N minutes; scales with HEARTBEAT.md size |
+| Cron (main)     | Adds event to next heartbeat (no isolated turn)         |
+| Cron (isolated) | Full agent turn per job; can use cheaper model          |
+
+**Tips**:
+
+- Keep `HEARTBEAT.md` small to minimize token overhead.
+- Batch similar checks into heartbeat instead of multiple cron jobs.
+- Use `target: "none"` on heartbeat if you only want internal processing.
+- Use isolated cron with a cheaper model for routine tasks.

-# Gmail PubSub
+# Gmail Pub/Sub -> OpenClaw
 
-This page moved to [Scheduled Tasks](/automation/cron-jobs#gmail-pubsub-integration). See [Scheduled Tasks](/automation/cron-jobs#gmail-pubsub-integration) for Gmail PubSub documentation.
+Goal: Gmail watch -> Pub/Sub push -> `gog gmail watch serve` -> OpenClaw webhook.
+
+## Prereqs
+
+- `gcloud` installed and logged in ([install guide](https://docs.cloud.google.com/sdk/docs/install-sdk)).
+- `gog` (gogcli) installed and authorized for the Gmail account ([gogcli.sh](https://gogcli.sh/)).
+- OpenClaw hooks enabled (see [Webhooks](/automation/webhook)).
+- `tailscale` logged in ([tailscale.com](https://tailscale.com/)). Supported setup uses Tailscale Funnel for the public HTTPS endpoint.
+  Other tunnel services can work, but are DIY/unsupported and require manual wiring.
+  Right now, Tailscale is what we support.
+
+Example hook config (enable Gmail preset mapping):
+
+```json5
+{
+  hooks: {
+    enabled: true,
+    token: "OPENCLAW_HOOK_TOKEN",
+    path: "/hooks",
+    presets: ["gmail"],
+  },
+}
+```
+
+To deliver the Gmail summary to a chat surface, override the preset with a mapping
+that sets `deliver` + optional `channel`/`to`:
+
+```json5
+{
+  hooks: {
+    enabled: true,
+    token: "OPENCLAW_HOOK_TOKEN",
+    presets: ["gmail"],
+    mappings: [
+      {
+        match: { path: "gmail" },
+        action: "agent",
+        wakeMode: "now",
+        name: "Gmail",
+        sessionKey: "hook:gmail:{{messages[0].id}}",
+        messageTemplate: "New email from {{messages[0].from}}\nSubject: {{messages[0].subject}}\n{{messages[0].snippet}}\n{{messages[0].body}}",
+        model: "openai/gpt-5.2-mini",
+        deliver: true,
+        channel: "last",
+        // to: "+15551234567"
+      },
+    ],
+  },
+}
+```
+
+If you want a fixed channel, set `channel` + `to`. Otherwise `channel: "last"`
+uses the last delivery route (falls back to WhatsApp).
+
+To force a cheaper model for Gmail runs, set `model` in the mapping
+(`provider/model` or alias). If you enforce `agents.defaults.models`, include it there.
+
+To set a default model and thinking level specifically for Gmail hooks, add
+`hooks.gmail.model` / `hooks.gmail.thinking` in your config:
+
+```json5
+{
+  hooks: {
+    gmail: {
+      model: "openrouter/meta-llama/llama-3.3-70b-instruct:free",
+      thinking: "off",
+    },
+  },
+}
+```
+
+Notes:
+
+- Per-hook `model`/`thinking` in the mapping still overrides these defaults.
+- Fallback order: `hooks.gmail.model` → `agents.defaults.model.fallbacks` → primary (auth/rate-limit/timeouts).
+- If `agents.defaults.models` is set, the Gmail model must be in the allowlist.
+- Gmail hook content is wrapped with external-content safety boundaries by default.
+  To disable (dangerous), set `hooks.gmail.allowUnsafeExternalContent: true`.
+
+To customize payload handling further, add `hooks.mappings` or a JS/TS transform module
+under `~/.openclaw/hooks/transforms` (see [Webhooks](/automation/webhook)).
+
+## Wizard (recommended)
+
+Use the OpenClaw helper to wire everything together (installs deps on macOS via brew):
+
+```bash
+openclaw webhooks gmail setup \
+  --account openclaw@gmail.com
+```
+
+Defaults:
+
+- Uses Tailscale Funnel for the public push endpoint.
+- Writes `hooks.gmail` config for `openclaw webhooks gmail run`.
+- Enables the Gmail hook preset (`hooks.presets: ["gmail"]`).
+
+Path note: when `tailscale.mode` is enabled, OpenClaw automatically sets
+`hooks.gmail.serve.path` to `/` and keeps the public path at
+`hooks.gmail.tailscale.path` (default `/gmail-pubsub`) because Tailscale
+strips the set-path prefix before proxying.
+If you need the backend to receive the prefixed path, set
+`hooks.gmail.tailscale.target` (or `--tailscale-target`) to a full URL like
+`http://127.0.0.1:8788/gmail-pubsub` and match `hooks.gmail.serve.path`.
+
+Want a custom endpoint? Use `--push-endpoint <url>` or `--tailscale off`.
+
+Platform note: on macOS the wizard installs `gcloud`, `gogcli`, and `tailscale`
+via Homebrew; on Linux install them manually first.
+
+Gateway auto-start (recommended):
+
+- When `hooks.enabled=true` and `hooks.gmail.account` is set, the Gateway starts
+  `gog gmail watch serve` on boot and auto-renews the watch.
+- Set `OPENCLAW_SKIP_GMAIL_WATCHER=1` to opt out (useful if you run the daemon yourself).
+- Do not run the manual daemon at the same time, or you will hit
+  `listen tcp 127.0.0.1:8788: bind: address already in use`.
+
+Manual daemon (starts `gog gmail watch serve` + auto-renew):
+
+```bash
+openclaw webhooks gmail run
+```
+
+## One-time setup
+
+1. Select the GCP project **that owns the OAuth client** used by `gog`.
+
+```bash
+gcloud auth login
+gcloud config set project <project-id>
+```
+
+Note: Gmail watch requires the Pub/Sub topic to live in the same project as the OAuth client.
+
+2. Enable APIs:
+
+```bash
+gcloud services enable gmail.googleapis.com pubsub.googleapis.com
+```
+
+3. Create a topic:
+
+```bash
+gcloud pubsub topics create gog-gmail-watch
+```
+
+4. Allow Gmail push to publish:
+
+```bash
+gcloud pubsub topics add-iam-policy-binding gog-gmail-watch \
+  --member=serviceAccount:gmail-api-push@system.gserviceaccount.com \
+  --role=roles/pubsub.publisher
+```
+
+## Start the watch
+
+```bash
+gog gmail watch start \
+  --account openclaw@gmail.com \
+  --label INBOX \
+  --topic projects/<project-id>/topics/gog-gmail-watch
+```
+
+Save the `history_id` from the output (for debugging).
+
+## Run the push handler
+
+Local example (shared token auth):
+
+```bash
+gog gmail watch serve \
+  --account openclaw@gmail.com \
+  --bind 127.0.0.1 \
+  --port 8788 \
+  --path /gmail-pubsub \
+  --token <shared> \
+  --hook-url http://127.0.0.1:18789/hooks/gmail \
+  --hook-token OPENCLAW_HOOK_TOKEN \
+  --include-body \
+  --max-bytes 20000
+```
+
+Notes:
+
+- `--token` protects the push endpoint (`x-gog-token` or `?token=`).
+- `--hook-url` points to OpenClaw `/hooks/gmail` (mapped; isolated run + summary to main).
+- `--include-body` and `--max-bytes` control the body snippet sent to OpenClaw.
+
+Recommended: `openclaw webhooks gmail run` wraps the same flow and auto-renews the watch.
+
+## Expose the handler (advanced, unsupported)
+
+If you need a non-Tailscale tunnel, wire it manually and use the public URL in the push
+subscription (unsupported, no guardrails):
+
+```bash
+cloudflared tunnel --url http://127.0.0.1:8788 --no-autoupdate
+```
+
+Use the generated URL as the push endpoint:
+
+```bash
+gcloud pubsub subscriptions create gog-gmail-watch-push \
+  --topic gog-gmail-watch \
+  --push-endpoint "https://<public-url>/gmail-pubsub?token=<shared>"
+```
+
+Production: use a stable HTTPS endpoint and configure Pub/Sub OIDC JWT, then run:
+
+```bash
+gog gmail watch serve --verify-oidc --oidc-email <svc@...>
+```
+
+## Test
+
+Send a message to the watched inbox:
+
+```bash
+gog gmail send \
+  --account openclaw@gmail.com \
+  --to openclaw@gmail.com \
+  --subject "watch test" \
+  --body "ping"
+```
+
+Check watch state and history:
+
+```bash
+gog gmail watch status --account openclaw@gmail.com
+gog gmail history --account openclaw@gmail.com --since <historyId>
+```
+
+## Troubleshooting
+
+- `Invalid topicName`: project mismatch (topic not in the OAuth client project).
+- `User not authorized`: missing `roles/pubsub.publisher` on the topic.
+- Empty messages: Gmail push only provides `historyId`; fetch via `gog gmail history`.
+
+## Cleanup
+
+```bash
+gog gmail watch stop --account openclaw@gmail.com
+gcloud pubsub subscriptions delete gog-gmail-watch-push
+gcloud pubsub topics delete gog-gmail-watch
+```

+### Specialized automation
 
-Use Scheduled Tasks (Cron) when you need precise timing or isolated execution. Use Heartbeat when the work benefits from full session context and approximate timing is fine.
-
-## Core concepts
-
-### Scheduled tasks (cron)
-
-Cron is the Gateway's built-in scheduler for precise timing. It persists jobs, wakes the agent at the right time, and can deliver output to a chat channel or webhook endpoint. Supports one-shot reminders, recurring expressions, and inbound webhook triggers.
-
-See [Scheduled Tasks](/automation/cron-jobs).
-
-### Tasks
-
-The background task ledger tracks all detached work: ACP runs, subagent spawns, isolated cron executions, and CLI operations. Tasks are records, not schedulers. Use `openclaw tasks list` and `openclaw tasks audit` to inspect them.
-
-See [Background Tasks](/automation/tasks).
-
-### Task Flow
-
-Task Flow is the flow orchestration substrate above background tasks. It manages durable multi-step flows with managed and mirrored sync modes, revision tracking, and `openclaw tasks flow list|show|cancel` for inspection.
-
-See [Task Flow](/automation/taskflow).
-
-### Standing orders
-
-Standing orders grant the agent permanent operating authority for defined programs. They live in workspace files (typically `AGENTS.md`) and are injected into every session. Combine with cron for time-based enforcement.
-
-See [Standing Orders](/automation/standing-orders).
-
-### Hooks
-
-Hooks are event-driven scripts triggered by agent lifecycle events (`/new`, `/reset`, `/stop`), session compaction, gateway startup, message flow, and tool calls. Hooks are automatically discovered from directories and can be managed with `openclaw hooks`.
-
-See [Hooks](/automation/hooks).
-
-### Heartbeat
-
-Heartbeat is a periodic main-session turn (default every 30 minutes). It batches multiple checks (inbox, calendar, notifications) in one agent turn with full session context. Heartbeat turns do not create task records. Use `HEARTBEAT.md` for a small checklist, or a `tasks:` block when you want due-only periodic checks inside heartbeat itself. Empty heartbeat files skip as `empty-heartbeat-file`; due-only task mode skips as `no-tasks-due`.
-
-See [Heartbeat](/gateway/heartbeat).

+| ---------------------------------------------- | ----------------------------------------------- |

 ## How they work together
 
-- **Cron** handles precise schedules (daily reports, weekly reviews) and one-shot reminders. All cron executions create task records.
-- **Heartbeat** handles routine monitoring (inbox, calendar, notifications) in one batched turn every 30 minutes.
-- **Hooks** react to specific events (tool calls, session resets, compaction) with custom scripts.
-- **Standing orders** give the agent persistent context and authority boundaries.
-- **Task Flow** coordinates multi-step flows above individual tasks.
-- **Tasks** automatically track all detached work so you can inspect and audit it.
+The most effective setups combine multiple mechanisms:
+
+1. **Heartbeat** handles routine monitoring (inbox, calendar, notifications) in one batched turn every 30 minutes.
+2. **Cron** handles precise schedules (daily reports, weekly reviews) and one-shot reminders.
+3. **Hooks** react to specific events (tool calls, session resets, compaction) with custom scripts.
+4. **Standing Orders** give the agent persistent context ("always check the project board before replying").
+5. **Background Tasks** automatically track all detached work so you can inspect and audit it.
+
+See [Cron vs Heartbeat](/automation/cron-vs-heartbeat) for a detailed comparison of the two scheduling mechanisms.
+
+## TaskFlow
+
+[TaskFlow](/automation/taskflow) is the flow orchestration substrate above background tasks. It manages durable multi-step flows with managed and mirrored sync modes, and exposes `openclaw flows list|show|cancel` for inspection and recovery. See [TaskFlow](/automation/taskflow) for details.
