 Tradeoff: tests may force code changes that stale the review. If tests or review lead to code edits, rerun the affected tests and rerun review until no accepted/actionable findings remain. Once that rerun exits cleanly, stop; do not spend another long review cycle on redundant confirmation.

 The helper:
 
 - chooses dirty local changes first
-- accepts `--mode uncommitted` as an alias for `--mode local`
 - otherwise uses current PR base if `gh pr view` works
 - otherwise uses `origin/main` for non-main branches
 - supports `--engine codex`, `claude`, `droid`, and `copilot`; default is `AUTOREVIEW_ENGINE` or `codex`; Codex should remain the default when nothing is set
-- resolves bare `git`, `gh`, reviewer, and PowerShell shell commands from absolute `PATH` entries only, never from the reviewed checkout; explicit relative `--*-bin` paths are resolved from the reviewed repository root
 - use `--mode commit --commit <ref>` for already-committed work, especially clean `main` after landing
 - should be left in `--mode auto` or forced to `--mode branch` for PR/branch work; do not force `--mode local` after committing
 - writes only to stdout unless `--output`, `--json-output`, or live streamed engine stderr is set

+- supports `--dry-run`, `--parallel-tests`, `--prompt`, `--prompt-file`, `--dataset`, `--no-tools`, `--no-web-search`, and commit refs
 - supports `--stream-engine-output` or `AUTOREVIEW_STREAM_ENGINE_OUTPUT=1` for live engine text while preserving structured validation; Codex and Claude hide tool/file event details, emit compact activity summaries, and report usage at turn completion
 - supports opt-in review panels with `--panel` / `--reviewers`, plus per-engine `--model` and `--thinking`
 - allows read-only tools and web search by default where the selected CLI supports them; forbids nested review in the prompt; Codex is run through `codex exec` with read-only sandbox and structured output

-

-
-## Query Workflow
-
-1. Resolve scope: guild, channel, DM, author, keyword, date range.

-3. Prefer CLI search/messages for slices; use read-only SQL for exact counts.
-4. Report absolute date spans, counts, channel/DM names, and known gaps.
-
-Use root or subcommand help for syntax: `discrawl --help`,

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

----
-
-# Kysely Database Access
-
-Use this skill for OpenClaw database code that touches Kysely, `node:sqlite`,
-generated DB types, SQLite schemas, migrations, or store/query design.
-
-## Read First
-
-- `docs/concepts/kysely.md` for the repo's Kysely rules and examples.
-- The owning subtree `AGENTS.md`, if present.
-- Relevant local Kysely source/types under `node_modules/kysely/dist/esm/...`
-  before assuming dialect behavior, result types, transactions, plugins, or raw
-  SQL semantics.
-- For codegen behavior, inspect `scripts/generate-kysely-types.mjs` and
-  `kysely-codegen --help` from the repo package manager.
-
-## Official Docs Cross-Check
-
-When the behavior matters, verify against current Kysely docs/source before
-patching:
-
-- Generating types: production apps should keep schema types aligned with the
-  database through code generation.
-- Data types: TypeScript types do not affect runtime values; the driver decides
-  runtime values, and Kysely returns what the driver returns unless a plugin
-  transforms results.
-- Raw SQL: the `sql` tag can execute full raw SQL and embed snippets into
-  builders. Prefer typed builders/helpers when they express the same thing.
-- Reusable helpers: take `Expression<T>` or an `ExpressionBuilder` when wrapping
-  SQL expressions; alias helper expressions explicitly in `select`. Extract a
-  helper only when it quarantines raw SQL, removes meaningful duplication, or
-  preserves a tricky inferred type.
-- Split build/execute only at deliberate boundaries. Compiled-query execution
-  is useful for native sync adapters, but keep plugin/result-transform behavior
-  in mind.
-- Migrations: Kysely migration files run without a schema type. In OpenClaw,
-  prefer the committed SQL-source-of-truth path unless a new owner explicitly
-  needs Kysely-managed migrations.
-- Plugins: plugins can transform queries and results. Any sync shortcut that
-  bypasses Kysely's async executor needs a documented invariant or tests.
-
-## Default Workflow
-
-1. Identify the owner boundary:
-   - Core state DB: `src/state/*`
-   - Per-agent DB: `src/state/openclaw-agent-*`
-   - Feature store: owning `*.sqlite.ts` module
-   - Plugin-owned state: plugin/module owner, not generic core
-2. Inspect the schema source first:
-   - `*.sql` is the source of truth when generated schema/types exist.
-   - Generated `*.generated.*` files are outputs, not hand-edit targets.
-3. Prefer Kysely builders for normal CRUD:
-   - `selectFrom`, `insertInto`, `updateTable`, `deleteFrom`
-   - `executeTakeFirst`, `executeTakeFirstOrThrow`, `execute`
-   - `eb.fn.countAll`, `eb.fn.count`, `eb.fn.coalesce` for common functions
-   - Keep compile-time Kysely reference literals such as `"host"` and
-     `"flow_id as flowId"` when they are clearer than constants; they are
-     type-checked by Kysely.
-   - Let Kysely infer selected row shapes. Do not pass broad row generics to
-     sync helpers for normal builder queries.
-   - Treat `executeSqliteQuerySync<Row>(db, builder)` and
-     `executeSqliteQueryTakeFirstSync<Row>(db, builder)` as a smell: the generic
-     can lie about selected columns. Use no generic for builders; use an exact
-     raw boundary helper for raw SQL.
-   - For finite public query presets, use a preset-to-row type map plus a union
-     boundary type instead of `Record<string, ...>`.
-   - After touching Kysely/native SQLite code, run `pnpm lint:kysely`. The AST
-     guard rejects raw identifier helpers, unreviewed typed `sql<T>` snippets,
-     `db.dynamic`, explicit sync-helper row generics for builders, and new raw
-     `node:sqlite` runtime access outside owner allowlists. It also rejects
-     persisted enum-like casts in SQLite stores; keep row fields as `string` and
-     parse through closed validators.
-4. Keep raw SQL deliberate:
-   - Good: pragmas, virtual tables, FTS, SQLite JSON functions, migrations,
-     `sqlite_master`, compact repeated expressions.
-   - Bad: raw `COUNT(*)` or dynamic SQL where Kysely has a typed builder shape.
-   - Use `${value}` parameters; use `sql.ref` / `sql.table` only for validated,
-     closed-set identifiers.
-   - Do not feed unconstrained runtime `string` values into table/column/group/
-     order/identifier positions. Narrow them to local unions or generated table
-     keys first.
-   - Prefer `eb.fn`, `eb.lit`, `eb.ref`, and expression callbacks for scalar
-     SQL such as `count`, `coalesce`, `max`, `exists`, and constant selections.
-5. Align TypeScript with real driver values:
-   - Kysely does not coerce runtime values.
-   - Native `node:sqlite` returns BLOB columns as `Uint8Array`; convert with
-     `Buffer.from(...)` only at API boundaries that need Buffer helpers.
-   - Keep JSON/text/timestamp parsing at module boundaries.
-   - Keep persisted enum-like strings as `string` in row types, then parse them
-     through closed validator helpers such as `parseTaskStatus(value)`. Do not
-     cast corrupt persisted data into exported unions.
-6. Decide migration need from shipped state:
-   - Unshipped schema/type cleanup: no SQLite migration.
-   - Shipped canonical schema change: add the appropriate migration or
-     doctor/fix repair path with tests.
-   - Legacy config repair belongs in doctor/fix paths, not startup surprises.
-
-## Codegen
-
-For committed SQL-backed generated types:
-
-```bash
-pnpm db:kysely:gen
-pnpm db:kysely:check
-```
-
-The repo maps SQLite `blob` to `Uint8Array` through `kysely-codegen`
-`--type-mapping`. Do not post-process generated files by hand; change the
-generator or SQL source and regenerate.
-
-## Native SQLite Guardrails
-
-- Use `getNodeSqliteKysely(db)` and sync helpers from `src/infra/kysely-sync.ts`
-  for `DatabaseSync` stores.
-- New direct `db.prepare(...)` / `db.exec(...)` runtime access should be rare.
-  Prefer Kysely or add an explicit `scripts/check-kysely-guardrails.mjs`
-  allowlist entry with a clear owner reason.
-- If raw SQLite is repeated or cast-heavy, extract a narrow boundary helper
-  such as `assertSqliteIntegrityOk(db, message)` and allowlist that helper
-  instead of each caller.
-- Keep sync helper result types derived from `CompiledQuery<Row>` / Kysely
-  builders. Explicit helper generics are for raw SQL or external boundaries,
-  not for widening a typed builder result into a generic record.
-- Keep the native dialect in `src/infra/kysely-node-sqlite.ts` aligned with
-  Kysely's SQLite driver structure: single connection, mutex, SQLite adapter,
-  SQLite query compiler, SQLite introspector.
-- Use `StatementSync.columns().length` behavior for row-returning statements;
-  do not parse SQL verbs.
-- Return `insertId` only for changed Kysely insert nodes. Raw insert SQL and
-  ignored inserts must not expose stale `lastInsertRowid`.
-- Remember that sync execution compiles through Kysely but bypasses async
-  `executeQuery` result plugins/logging. If plugins enter this path, add tests
-  or a documented invariant.
-
-## Tests
-
-Pick the smallest proof that covers the touched surface:
-
-```bash
-pnpm db:kysely:check
-pnpm lint:kysely
-pnpm test src/infra/kysely-node-sqlite.test.ts
-pnpm test <owning-store>.test.ts
-pnpm tsgo:core
-```
-
-Add or update focused tests for:
-
-- generated type/runtime mismatches
-- native dialect metadata (`insertId`, `numAffectedRows`, row-returning SQL)
-- transactions/savepoints
-- BLOB and JSON boundary conversions
-- schema/codegen drift
-- type inference contracts for sync helpers and public query result maps
-- negative type contracts with `@ts-expect-error` for important column/preset
-  mistakes
-- corruption-path tests that mutate SQLite directly and assert the public load
-  or read method rejects invalid persisted strings
-- public store behavior, not just private SQL shape
-
-## Helper Extraction
-
-Good helpers:
-
-- `readSqliteNumberPragma(db, pragma)` style helpers with a closed union for
-  PRAGMA names.
-- Raw-expression helpers that accept Kysely expressions/refs instead of raw
-  column strings.
-- Public query preset maps that preserve exact row types at the API boundary.
-
-Avoid helpers that:
-
-- Wrap obvious Kysely literals just to avoid strings.
-- Take generic `string` table/column/order names.
-- Return heavily generic query builders that are harder to type than the query
-  they hide.
-
-## Performance
-
-- Benchmark prepare/compile overhead before adding statement caches or compiled
-  query caches. Include the real public store method work: SQLite execution,
-  JSON/BLOB conversion, and result mapping.
-- Keep caches local, close/dispose them with the owning store, and test invalid
-  or stale behavior. Clear builders are the default until numbers prove a hot
-  path.
-
-## Avoid
-
-- Do not introduce ORM/repository layers or hidden relation loading.
-- Do not make root dependencies for plugin-only database needs.
-- Do not migrate everything to raw SQL or everything to builders for purity.
-- Do not hand-edit generated DB types.
-- Do not hide finite query result shapes behind `Record<string, ...>` just to
-  make JSON output convenient; use exact row unions or map at the boundary.
-- Do not replace every Kysely string literal with constants for aesthetics; fix
-  dynamic identifiers, raw SQL assertions, and public result boundaries instead.
-- Do not add broad cache layers to hide repeated query/discovery work; carry the
-  known runtime fact earlier when possible.

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

-# Verify Release
-
-Use this when asked whether an OpenClaw release is fully released, published,

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

 - Google/Gemini: normalize retired Gemini 3 Pro Preview refs left in Google API-key onboarding model allowlists and fallbacks, so setup-emitted config keeps testing `google/gemini-3.1-pro-preview` instead of `google/gemini-3-pro-preview`.
 - Telegram/context: bound selected topic context to the active session so messages from before `/new` or `/reset` are not replayed into later turns. (#80848) Thanks @VACInc.
-- Docs/providers/openai: clarify that OpenAI Realtime voice goes through the OpenAI Platform Realtime API and requires Platform credits — Codex/ChatGPT subscription quota does not cover this route. Fixes #76498. Thanks @lonexreb.
 - Google/Gemini: normalize retired nested Gemini 3 Pro Preview ids when resolving exact configured proxy-provider refs, so `kilocode/google/gemini-3-pro-preview` resolves to `kilocode/google/gemini-3.1-pro-preview` for Gemini 3.1 testing.
 - CLI: strip generic OSC terminal escape payloads from sanitized output fields, preventing clipboard/title escape bodies from leaking into commitment tables and other terminal-safe text. Thanks @shakkernerd.
 - Codex app-server: match connector-backed plugin approval elicitations by stable connector id so enabled destructive actions no longer fall through to display-name-only rejection.

-            <description><![CDATA[<h2>OpenClaw 2026.5.28</h2>
-<h3>Highlights</h3>
-<ul>
-<li>Agent and Codex runtime recovery is steadier: subagents keep cwd/workspace separation, hook context stays prompt-local, session locks release on timeout abort while live OpenClaw locks survive cleanup, stale restart continuations are avoided, and Codex app-server/helper failures no longer tear down shared runtime state. (#87218, #86875, #87409, #87399, #87375, #88129)</li>
-<li>Channel delivery and session identity got safer across outbound plugin hooks, Matrix room ids, iMessage reactions/approvals, Slack final replies, Discord recovered tool warnings, runtime-config message actions, WhatsApp profile auth roots, Telegram polling, and Microsoft Teams service URL trust checks. (#73706, #75670, #87366, #87451, #87334, #84535, #82492, #83304, #87160)</li>
-<li>Mobile and chat surfaces got a broader refresh: the iOS Pro UI, hosted push relay default, realtime Talk tab playback, Gateway chat transport, onboarding, Talk permissions, WebChat reconnect delivery, and session picker behavior now preserve more state across reconnects and empty searches. (#87367, #87531, #87682, #88096, #88105) Thanks @ngutman.</li>
-<li>Browser, channel, and automation inputs are stricter: Browser tool timeouts, viewport/tab indices, Gateway ports, cron retry handling, Discord component ids, schema array refs, Telegram callback pages, and channel progress callbacks now reject malformed values earlier and preserve the intended delivery context. (#82887)</li>
-<li>Provider, media, and document coverage expands with Claude Opus 4.8, Fal Krea image schemas, NVIDIA featured models, MiniMax streaming music responses, encrypted PDF extraction, voice model catalogs, GitHub Copilot agent runtime support, and a Codex Supervisor plugin path for delegated Codex workflows. (#87845, #87890, #80775, #84764, #87751, #87794)</li>
-<li>CLI, auth, doctor, and provider paths fail faster and recover more clearly: malformed numeric/version options are rejected, workspace dotenv provider credentials are ignored, heartbeat defaults, OAuth/token lifetimes, and local service startup requests are bounded, agent auth health labels are clearer, legacy <code>api_key</code> auth profiles migrate to canonical form, and restart guidance is actionable. (#87398, #86281, #87361, #88133, #83655, #87559, #88088, #85924) Thanks @vincentkoc and @giodl73-repo.</li>
-<li>Plugin and Gateway hot paths do less repeated work while preserving cache correctness for install records, config JSON parsing, tool search catalogs, session stores, manifest model rows, auto-enabled plugin config, browser tokens, viewer assets, and release-split external plugin packages. (#86699)</li>
-<li>Release, QA, and E2E validation now bound more log, artifact, harness, and cross-OS waits so failing lanes produce proof instead of hanging or false-greening.</li>
-</ul>
+            <description><![CDATA[<h2>OpenClaw 2026.5.22</h2>
 <h3>Changes</h3>
 <ul>
-<li>Status: show active subagent details in status output.</li>
-<li>Diffs: split the default language pack and expand default Diffs language coverage while keeping the host floor aligned. (#87370, #87372) Thanks @RomneyDa.</li>
-<li>ClawHub: add plugin display names plus skill verification and trust surfaces. (#87354, #86699) Thanks @thewilloftheshadow and @Patrick-Erichsen.</li>
-<li>iOS: refresh the dev app with Pro Command, Chat, Agents, Settings, hosted push relay defaults, and realtime Talk playback wired to gateway sessions, diagnostics, chat, and realtime Talk. (#87367, #88096, #88105) Thanks @Solvely-Colin and @ngutman.</li>
-<li>Docs: clarify Codex computer-use setup, paste-token stdin auth setup, macOS gateway sleep troubleshooting, native Codex hook relay recovery, container model auth, install deployment cards, device-token admin gating, CLI setup flow compatibility, Notte cloud browser CDP setup, and backport targets. (#87313, #63050, #87685) Thanks @bdjben, @liaoandi, and @thewilloftheshadow.</li>
-<li>PDF/tools: use ClawPDF for PDF extraction, support encrypted PDF extraction, and surface MCP structured content in agent tool results. (#87670, #87751)</li>
-<li>Providers: add Claude Opus 4.8 support, Fal Krea image model schemas, NVIDIA featured model catalogs, MiniMax streaming music responses, and provider-backed voice model catalogs. (#87845, #87890, #80775, #84764, #87794) Thanks @eleqtrizit and @vincentkoc.</li>
-<li>Codex/GitHub: add the GitHub Copilot agent runtime and the Codex Supervisor plugin package.</li>
-<li>Plugins: externalize GitHub Copilot and Tokenjuice as official install-on-demand plugins with npm and ClawHub publish metadata.</li>
-<li>Workboard: add agent coordination tools for tracking and handing off active agent work.</li>
-<li>Discord: show commentary in progress drafts so live Discord runs expose useful in-progress context. (#85200)</li>
-<li>Plugin SDK: add a reply payload sending hook for plugins that need to deliver channel-owned replies and flatten package types for SDK declarations. (#82823, #87165) Thanks @RomneyDa.</li>
-<li>Policy: add policy comparison, ingress-channel conformance, and sandbox-posture conformance checks. (#85572, #85744, #86768)</li>
+<li>Gateway/perf: reuse process-stable channel catalog reads, avoid repeated bundled-channel boundary checks, and rotate gateway watch CPU profiles so benchmark runs do not accumulate unbounded artifacts.</li>
+<li>Gateway/perf: reuse immutable plugin metadata snapshots across startup, config, model, channel, setup, and secret metadata readers so hot paths avoid repeated plugin file stats and manifest registry reloads.</li>
+<li>Gateway/perf: lazy-load startup-idle plugin work, core gateway method handlers, and the embedded ACPX runtime so Gateway health and ready signals no longer wait on unused handler trees or ACPX probes.</li>
+<li>Gateway/perf: cache plugin SDK public-surface alias maps and skip irrelevant macOS Linuxbrew PATH probes so Gateway startup avoids repeated filesystem walks and slow missing-directory stats.</li>
+<li>Meeting Notes: add a source-only external meeting-notes plugin and SDK source-provider contract outside the core npm package, with auto-start capture config, manual transcript imports, read-only <code>openclaw meeting-notes</code> CLI access, and Discord voice as the first live source.</li>
+<li>Docs/channels/config: add Signal <code>configPath</code>, Telegram wildcard topic defaults, local-time backup archive names, Termux home fallback, include-path validation, secret-scanner-safe placeholder guidance, Gemini CLI/Antigravity media guidance, and macOS VM auto-login guidance. Thanks @NorseGaud, @yudistiraashadi, @huangqian8, @VibhorGautam, @maweibin, @tianxingleo, @IgnacioPro, and @xzcxzcyy-claw.</li>
+<li>Docs: clarify model-usage portability, Codex migration prerequisites, status bootstrap wording, thread-bound subagent limits, hook ownership, and config-preserving safety guidance. Thanks @aniruddhaadak80, @leno23, @TomDjerry, @matthewxmurphy, @vincentkoc, and @stablegenius49.</li>
+<li>Docs: clarify README onboarding and Gateway startup paths, WhatsApp QR/408 recovery, cron output language prompts, skill advanced features, gateway upstream 403 troubleshooting, and plugin fallback override guidance. Thanks @deepujain, @Zacxxx, @Jah-yee, @neyric, @usimic, @Renu-Cybe, @BigUncle, and @SeashoreShi.</li>
+<li>Docs: clarify context-pruning ratio bounds, local dashboard recovery, CLI env markers, remote onboarding token behavior, and Peekaboo Bridge permissions for subprocess agents. Thanks @ayesha-aziz123, @dishraters, @hougangdev, and @brandonlipman.</li>
+<li>Docs: clarify browser CDP diagnostics, Plugin SDK allowlist imports, status-reaction timing defaults, queue steering behavior, limited-tool troubleshooting, cron HEARTBEAT handling, Telegram multi-agent groups, Bitwarden SecretRef setup, and EasyRunner deployments. Thanks @Quratulain-bilal, @mbelinky, @Mickey-, @vancece, @xenouzik, @posigit, @surlymochan, @janaka, and @choiking.</li>
+<li>Crabbox/Testbox: run clean sparse-checkout Testbox syncs from a temporary full checkout and route remote changed gates through Corepack pnpm.</li>
+<li>Docs: clarify IPv4-only Gateway BYOH binding, trusted-proxy scope clearing, Android pairing approval, macOS Accessibility grants, Zalo profile env vars, password-store SecretRef setup, and Chinese memory navigation. Thanks @itskai-dev, @gwh7078, @longstoryscott, @MoeJaberr, and @yuaiccc.</li>
+<li>Docs: consolidate GLM under Z.AI, add the Upstash Box install guide and Gateway exposure runbook, clarify MEDIA directives, Copilot and Voyage setup, config path quoting, real behavior proof, and memory-file write guidance. Thanks @BobDu, @alitariksahin, @Jefsky, @musaabhasan, @OmerZeyveli, @leno23, @WuKongAI-CMU, @luoyanglang, and @majin1102.</li>
+<li>Docs: clarify media provider credentials, Codex/OpenClaw code-mode boundaries, Slack and Telegram ack reactions, Feishu dynamic agents, secrets plaintext boundaries, memory guidance, and Chinese glossary terms. Thanks @nielskaspers, @cosmopolitan033, @drclaw-iq, @alexgduarte, @zccyman, @chengoak, and @cassthebandit.</li>
+<li>Packaging: exclude documentation images and assets from the npm tarball, reducing published package size without affecting runtime docs search or CLI behavior. Thanks @SebTardif.</li>
+<li>Media understanding: stop auto-probing Gemini CLI and use Antigravity CLI only as a lower-priority image/video fallback after configured provider APIs.</li>
+<li>Agents/subagents: limit default sub-agent bootstrap context to <code>AGENTS.md</code> and <code>TOOLS.md</code>, keeping persona, identity, user, memory, heartbeat, and setup files out of delegated workers by default. (#85283) Thanks @100yenadmin.</li>
+<li>Maintainer skills: exclude plugin SDK/API boundary work from <code>openclaw-landable-bug-sweep</code> so bugbash sweeps stay focused on small paper-cut fixes.</li>
+<li>QA-Lab/diagnostics: extend the OpenTelemetry smoke harness to prove trace, metric, and log export, and add first-class Prometheus and observability smoke aliases.</li>
+<li>Plugin SDK: add a generic channel-message poll sender so channel plugins can expose poll delivery without depending on channel-specific SDK facades.</li>
+<li>Crabbox: keep the local wrapper's provider validation synced with the installed Crabbox binary while preserving supported aliases such as <code>docker</code> and <code>blacksmith</code>. (#85302) Thanks @hxy91819.</li>
+<li>Maintainer skills: add <code>openclaw-landable-bug-sweep</code> for producing five small, reviewed, CI-green OpenClaw bugfix PRs from issue/PR sweeps.</li>
+<li>Control UI/chat: add search and Load More pagination to the chat session picker, keeping initial session loads bounded while making older conversations reachable. (#85237) Thanks @amknight.</li>
+<li>CLI/onboarding: start classic onboarding when bare <code>openclaw</code> runs before an authored config exists, while keeping configured installs on Crestodian. (#72343) Thanks @fuller-stack-dev.</li>
+<li>Discord: allow configuring a bounded <code>agentComponents.ttlMs</code> callback registry lifetime for long-running component workflows, with per-account overrides and a 24-hour cap. (#84189) Thanks @100menotu001.</li>
+<li>xAI/Grok: reuse xAI OAuth auth profiles for Grok <code>web_search</code>, thread active-agent auth through web search, add Grok model aliases, and let media providers declare default operation timeouts. (#85182) Thanks @fuller-stack-dev.</li>
+<li>Plugin SDK: add row-level session workflow helpers and deprecate <code>loadSessionStore</code> so plugins can read and patch sessions without depending on the legacy whole-store shape. (#84693) Thanks @efpiva.</li>
+<li>Gateway/plugins: reuse a compatible Gateway startup plugin registry during dispatch so safe plugin dispatches avoid redundant registry loading. (#84324) Thanks @ai-hpc.</li>
+<li>Plugins/SDK: add a general <code>embeddingProviders</code> capability contract and registration API so embeddings can become a reusable provider surface outside memory-specific adapters.</li>
+<li>Dependencies: refresh provider, plugin, UI, and tooling packages, update <code>protobufjs</code> to 8.4.0 to clear the current npm advisory, and carry the Claude ACP completion patch forward to <code>@agentclientprotocol/claude-agent-acp</code> 0.36.1.</li>
+<li>Agents/tools: remove the old sender-owner tool gating path so configured tools stay visible for trusted sessions while command and channel-action auth still carry real sender identity.</li>
+<li>QA-Lab: add curated mock JSONL replay fixtures and first-drift reporting for runtime-parity audits. (#80323, refs #80176) Thanks @100yenadmin.</li>
+<li>QA-Lab: add a QA bus tool-trace visibility scenario for sanitized tool-call assertions.</li>
+<li>QA-Lab: replace generic evidence framing in seeded scenario prompts with concrete observed QA behavior.</li>
+<li>QA-Lab: list named scenario packs in the coverage report so personal-agent privacy coverage stays visible in audits.</li>
+<li>QA-Lab: list live transport lane membership in the coverage report so real transport checks stay separate from seeded qa-channel scenarios.</li>
+<li>Release/package: run package integrity checks before package acceptance lanes so public install/update validation fails before private QA assets can leak into the package.</li>
+<li>QA-Lab: include the optional 100-turn runtime parity soak in release-soak artifacts so long-run Codex/Pi transcript drift stays visible outside the default gate. (#80395) Thanks @100yenadmin.</li>
+<li>QA-Lab: add a live-only long-context progress watchdog scenario for Codex app-server timeout and stalled-run sentinels. (#80323) Thanks @100yenadmin.</li>
+<li>QA-Lab: tag gateway restart recovery and streaming final-integrity scenarios as live-only runtime parity lanes. (#80323) Thanks @100yenadmin.</li>
+<li>QA-Lab: add a personal-agent failure recovery scenario that checks honest partial status, retry boundaries, and local recovery artifacts. (#83872) Thanks @iFiras-Max1.</li>
+<li>QA-Lab: include an opt-in <code>update.run</code> package self-upgrade sentinel for destructive latest-package recovery checks.</li>
+<li>QA-Lab: add Codex plugin lifecycle and auth-profile fixture coverage for missing installs, pinned-version drift, first-turn install ordering, and doctor migration safety. (#80323, refs #80174) Thanks @100yenadmin.</li>
+<li>Models/perf: pre-warm the provider auth-state map at gateway startup so <code>/models</code> and every model-listing call short-circuits the per-provider plugin / external-CLI discovery on the hot path. Per-call cost drops from ~20 s to ~5 ms (~4,100×); the one-time startup warm resets and re-warms after hot reloads. (#84816) Thanks @sjf.</li>
+<li>Release/security: ship the root npm package and OpenClaw-owned npm plugins with generated shrinkwrap, support bundled plugin runtime dependencies for suitable plugin tarballs, and require review for lockfile/shrinkwrap changes so published installs use locked dependency graphs.</li>
+<li>Tests/perf: isolate doctor core health check unit coverage from real skills/workspace discovery so <code>doctor-core-checks</code> no longer dominates unit perf while keeping one real skills-readiness smoke. (#84493) Thanks @frankekn.</li>
 </ul>

+<li>WebChat: summarize internal message-tool source replies so tool cards no longer duplicate the visible reply body. (#84773) Thanks @jason-allen-oneal.</li>
+<li>Gateway: preserve deferred lifecycle-error cleanup across later non-terminal events so provider timeouts can persist failed session state instead of leaving sessions stuck running. (#85256, fixes #63819) Thanks @samzong.</li>
+<li>Agents/subagents: report tool-only child progress during timeout summaries instead of showing no visible output.</li>
+<li>Telegram/ACP: preserve explicit <code>:topic:</code> conversation suffixes when inbound ACP targets do not carry a separate thread id.</li>
+<li>Browser/proxy: bypass the managed proxy for the exact local managed Chrome CDP readiness and DevTools WebSocket endpoints, so <code>openclaw browser start</code> works when the operator proxy blocks loopback egress. (#83255) Thanks @lightcap.</li>
+<li>Ollama: bypass the managed proxy for configured local embedding origins while keeping SSRF guardrails on unconfigured targets. Thanks @Kaspre.</li>

+<li>Status/diagnostics: bound deep Docker audit probes so <code>openclaw status --deep</code> reports slow container checks instead of hanging behind unbounded inspection. (#85476) Thanks @giodl73-repo.</li>
+<li>Providers/Anthropic: migrate 1M context handling to GA-capable Claude 4.x models by sizing eligible models at 1M without the retired <code>context-1m-2025-08-07</code> beta, ignoring that retired beta in older configs, and preserving OAuth-required Anthropic beta headers. (#45613) Thanks @haoyu-haoyu.</li>

+<li>Agents/tools: honor configured custom provider API keys when deciding whether media, image-generation, video-generation, music-generation, and PDF tools are available. (#85570)</li>
+<li>StepFun: stop advertising stale generic API key auth choices so onboarding only offers runtime-backed Standard and Step Plan choices.</li>
+<li>Diagnostics: keep OpenTelemetry log bodies behind explicit content capture and scrub scoped agent-session keys from OpenTelemetry and Prometheus labels while preserving bounded queue-lane prefixes.</li>
+<li>Windows installer: fail Git checkout installs when <code>pnpm install</code> or <code>pnpm build</code> fails instead of writing a wrapper to a missing CLI build.</li>
+<li>Sessions: surface previous-transcript archive failures during <code>/new</code> rotation so disk rename errors are logged instead of silently hiding stranded transcript files. Fixes #81984. (#85586, from #82081) Thanks @0xghost42.</li>
+<li>TUI/agents: mirror internal-ui message-tool replies into final chat output so message-tool-only agents remain visible in <code>openclaw tui</code>. Fixes #85538. Thanks @danpolasek.</li>
+<li>Agents: keep parallel OpenAI-compatible tool-call deltas in separate argument buffers so interleaved tool calls no longer corrupt streamed arguments. (#82263) Thanks @luna-system.</li>
+<li>Memory/doctor: report missing or unusable QMD workspace directories as workspace failures instead of generic binary failures. (#63167) Thanks @sercada.</li>
+<li>Debug proxy: record CONNECT client-socket errors and destroy the paired upstream socket so abrupt client disconnects no longer leak tunnel resources. (#82444) Thanks @SebTardif.</li>
+<li>Diffs: continue hydrating later diff cards when one card fails so a single broken card no longer blanks the whole diff viewer. (#84775) Thanks @cosmopolitan033.</li>

+<li>Codex app-server: restart the native app-server and retry once when server-side compaction times out, so preflight compaction stalls recover instead of failing every dispatch. (#85500)</li>
+<li>Restore Control UI gateway token pairing [AI]. (#85459) Thanks @pgondhi987.</li>
+<li>OpenAI video: honor configured provider request private-network opt-in for local/custom video endpoints so explicitly trusted mock and self-hosted providers are not blocked. Thanks @shakkernerd.</li>

+<li>Codex app-server: disable native Code Mode when the effective exec host is <code>node</code> and keep OpenClaw <code>exec</code>/<code>process</code> available, so <code>/exec host=node</code> routes shell commands through the selected node instead of the gateway. Fixes #85012. (#85090) Thanks @sahilsatralkar.</li>
+<li>Agents: bound embedded auto-compaction session write-lock watchdogs to the compaction timeout instead of the full run timeout, so stuck compaction cannot hold the live session lock for the whole run window. (#84949) Thanks @luoyanglang.</li>

+<li>Agents/Codex: show the first plan update as a transient chat status notice without counting it as final assistant content.</li>
+<li>CLI/update: walk the macOS process ancestry and honor the inherited Gateway runtime PID before package updates stop the managed Gateway service, so nested in-band updater children can refuse instead of killing the LaunchAgent-supervised Gateway that owns them. Fixes #85120.</li>
+<li>Gateway/LaunchAgent: wait for launchd reload bootout to finish and fall back to kickstart when bootstrap races, so reload handoff does not leave the service deregistered. Fixes #84630. (#84641) Thanks @NianJiuZst.</li>
+<li>Gateway/LaunchAgent: treat a concurrent launchd bootstrap as a successful restart when the service is already loaded, avoiding false macOS Gateway restart failures. Fixes #84721. (#84722) Thanks @googlerest.</li>

+<li>CLI/update: start managed Gateway update handoff helpers from a stable existing directory and tolerate deleted cwd/package roots during macOS LaunchAgent handoff. Fixes #83808. (#83875) Thanks @jason-allen-oneal.</li>
+<li>Skills: watch each shared skill directory once across agent workspaces instead of once per agent, preventing file-descriptor exhaustion (<code>EMFILE</code>) that disposed bundle-mcp processes and stalled sessions on multi-agent gateways. Fixes #84968. (#85130) Thanks @openperf.</li>
+<li>Release/security: keep generated npm shrinkwrap package versions inside the pnpm lock graph so published package locks cannot bypass pnpm dependency age and override policy.</li>

+<li>Gateway chat: broadcast returned agent-run error payloads after an agent starts so ACP/WebChat clients receive terminal idle-timeout errors. Fixes #84945.</li>
+<li>Gateway chat display: preserve OpenAI-compatible <code>prompt_tokens</code>, <code>completion_tokens</code>, and <code>total_tokens</code> usage fields in sanitized chat history so llama.cpp sessions keep context counts. Fixes #77992. Thanks @MarTT79.</li>

+<li>Windows updates: roll back git-backed updates to the previous checkout when dependency install, build, UI build, or doctor repair fails.</li>
+<li>Windows installer: persist user-local portable Git on PATH and activate the repo-pinned pnpm version for git-backed installs and updates.</li>
+<li>Windows installer: bootstrap a user-local portable Node.js when native Windows has no Node and no winget, Chocolatey, or Scoop, so first-run installs can continue on raw hosts.</li>
+<li>Windows installer: extract the downloaded portable Node.js directory with native <code>tar</code> before falling back to .NET zip extraction, avoiding PowerShell 5.1 archive and path-length failures.</li>
+<li>fix(integrations): enforce channel read target allowlists [AI]. (#84982) Thanks @pgondhi987.</li>
+<li>Agents/heartbeat: route single-owner <code>session.dmScope=main</code> direct-message exec and cron event wakes back to the agent main session so async completions no longer strand context in orphan direct-DM queues. Fixes #71581. (#83743) Thanks @Kaspre.</li>
+<li>Agents/code-mode: expose outer code-mode <code>exec</code> source through the <code>command</code> hook alias with <code>toolKind</code>/<code>toolInputKind</code> discriminators so exec-shaped policies can distinguish code-mode cells. (#83483) Thanks @Kaspre.</li>

+<li>Agents/Codex: estimate tool-heavy prompt pressure at the LLM boundary before provider submission, so persistent sessions compact before overflowing context windows. (#85541) Thanks @fuller-stack-dev and @joshavant.</li>
+<li>Agents/hooks: wait for local one-shot CLI and Codex <code>agent_end</code> plugin hooks before process cleanup so terminal observability flushes reliably. (#85007)</li>
+<li>Providers/Google: preserve Gemini 3 cron <code>thinkingDefault: "low"</code> when stale catalog metadata says <code>reasoning:false</code>, so scheduled runs keep provider-supported thinking instead of downgrading to off. (#85185) Thanks @neeravmakwana.</li>
+<li>CLI/agents: allow <code>openclaw agent --session-key</code> to target explicit session keys, including agent-scoped legacy keys. (#85121) Thanks @Kaspre.</li>
+<li>Auto-reply/ACP: wait for same-channel block reply delivery before starting tool work, while still honoring ACP dispatch aborts so stopped turns do not wait on slow channel sends. (#83722) Thanks @IWhatsskill.</li>
+<li>Codex/ACP: mark required child-run completions that only report progress, omit a final deliverable, or fail requester delivery as blocked while preserving real final reports. (#85110) Thanks @IWhatsskill.</li>
+<li>Channels: treat bare abort messages such as <code>stop</code>, <code>abort</code>, and <code>wait</code> as immediate control commands in inbound debounce paths so stop requests are not delayed behind pending message coalescing. (#83348) Thanks @IWhatsskill.</li>
+<li>Channels/message tool: resolve configured external channel plugins during in-agent channel selection, so <code>openclaw agent --local</code> message-tool sends no longer report an available channel as unavailable. (#85022) Thanks @Kaspre.</li>
+<li>Agents/heartbeat: honor group/channel <code>message_tool</code> visible-reply policy and model-specific Codex runtime config for scheduled heartbeat runs, so failed internal tool output stays private. Fixes #85310. (#85357) Thanks @neeravmakwana.</li>
+<li>Gateway/ACP: close child ACP sessions spawned via <code>sessions_spawn</code> when their parent session is reset or deleted, instead of leaving orphaned <code>claude-agent-acp</code> processes that accumulate and exhaust memory. Fixes #68916. (#85190) Thanks @openperf.</li>
+<li>Codex app-server: block native execution paths when OpenClaw exec resolves to a node host while preserving the first-party CLI node binding path. Fixes #85012. (#85534) Thanks @joshavant.</li>
+<li>Diagnostics: bound cleanup timeout detail logs, emit drop summaries when async diagnostic bursts exceed the queue cap, and surface async queue drops through diagnostic telemetry.</li>
+<li>Agents/subagents: surface blocked child-run completions as errors instead of successful subagent finishes. (#80886) Thanks @TurboTheTurtle.</li>
+<li>Context engines: fail closed with a descriptive error when the selected agent runtime cannot satisfy declared context-engine host requirements.</li>
+<li>Agents/Pi: treat accepted embedded <code>sessions_spawn</code> child-session handoffs as terminal progress so parent turns no longer report false non-deliverable failures. (#85054) Thanks @samzong.</li>
+<li>CLI/models: resolve <code>openclaw models set</code> aliases from the runtime config while keeping authored aliases ahead of runtime-only defaults. (#83262) Thanks @IWhatsskill.</li>
+<li>Doctor: show personal Codex CLI asset notices as info instead of warnings. Fixes #84859.</li>
+<li>WhatsApp: update Baileys to <code>7.0.0-rc13</code> and drop the obsolete logger type patch.</li>
+<li>CLI/update: pre-pack GitHub/git package update targets before the staged npm install, restoring <code>openclaw update --tag main</code> for one-off package updates. (#81296) Thanks @fuller-stack-dev.</li>
+<li>Gateway: mirror successful same-source message-tool sends into session transcripts so delivered replies stay in later history/context. (#84837) Thanks @iFiras-Max1.</li>
+<li>Media generation: keep image, music, and video completion delivery from duplicating or losing task ownership when generated media finishes through active session replies. (#84006) Thanks @fuller-stack-dev.</li>
+<li>Infra/json: retry transient <code>File changed during read</code> races while loading JSON state so config and state reads recover instead of failing the turn. (#84285)</li>
+<li>Plugins/providers: fail closed for workspace provider plugins during setup-mode discovery unless explicitly trusted, preventing untrusted workspace plugin code from running during provider setup. (#81069) Thanks @mmaps.</li>
+<li>Providers/Ollama: resolve configured Ollama Cloud <code>OLLAMA_API_KEY</code> markers to the real discovery key so cloud provider entries keep authenticated model catalog access. (#85037)</li>
+<li>Discord: keep persistent component registry fallback warnings actionable by forwarding structured error and cause metadata through the runtime logger. Fixes #84185. (#84190) Thanks @100menotu001.</li>
+<li>Gateway/sessions: preserve compatible session auth profile overrides when switching models within the same provider, including provider-auth aliases. Fixes #81837. (#81886) Thanks @TurboTheTurtle.</li>
+<li>Gateway/status: surface inbound delivery telemetry counters and transport-liveness warnings in <code>openclaw status --all</code>. Fixes #49577. (#72724)</li>
+<li>Docker: prune package-excluded plugin source workspaces and dependency closures so runtime images do not keep packages for plugins that were not opted in.</li>
+<li>Providers/Ollama: treat Docker/OrbStack host aliases as local Ollama endpoints so <code>ollama-local</code> marker auth works when OpenClaw runs inside a VM/container and Ollama runs on the host. Fixes #84875.</li>
+<li>QA-Lab: keep explicitly searchable/deferred OpenClaw dynamic tool rows report-only by default so tool-coverage gates do not treat mock discovery gaps as hard product failures. (#80319) Thanks @100yenadmin.</li>
+<li>Agents/config: keep non-Google provider model refs from being rewritten by Google Gemini preview-id normalization. (#84762) Thanks @zhangguiping-xydt.</li>
+<li>Installer: require a real controlling terminal before launching onboarding so headless <code>curl | bash</code> installs finish cleanly after installing the CLI.</li>
+<li>Agents/Codex: promote a completed final assistant response when a prompt timeout races Codex app-server completion instead of returning an empty timeout envelope. Refs #84516.</li>
+<li>Codex app-server: keep interrupted turn statuses from being treated as OpenClaw aborts by themselves, so tool-only turns remain eligible for no-visible-answer recovery. Fixes #84492.</li>
+<li>Agents: cap heartbeat model bleed context hints by the stored session window when runtime model metadata is unavailable, so overflow recovery advice does not suggest a larger window than the active session actually has.</li>
+<li>Control UI/Web Push: use <code>https://openclaw.ai</code> as the generated default VAPID subject instead of the old localhost mailbox so iOS PWA push setup uses an Apple-acceptable subject when <code>OPENCLAW_VAPID_SUBJECT</code> is unset. Fixes #83134. (#83317) Thanks @IWhatsskill.</li>
+<li>Control UI: distinguish inherited thinking-off settings from explicit Off selections so the thinking selector no longer shows two identical Off rows. (#85223) Thanks @amknight.</li>
+<li>Agents/Pi: keep embedded session transcript writes from tripping false takeover detection after packaged npm onboarding agent turns.</li>
+<li>Codex/TUI: surface Codex-native post-turn compaction failures instead of continuing uncompacted, and keep successful native compaction serialized before local idle/next-turn handling. Fixes #84305. (#85160) Thanks @joshavant.</li>
+<li>Memory/search: stop recall tracking from writing dreaming side-effect artifacts when <code>dreaming.enabled=false</code>, while preserving normal search results. Fixes #84436. (#84444) Thanks @NianJiuZst.</li>
+<li>Diffs: render viewer toolbar icons from a closed icon-name map instead of HTML strings, removing the toolbar icon XSS sink. (#83955) Thanks @tanshanshan.</li>
+<li>QA: keep <code>pnpm qa:e2e</code> self-check runs inside the private QA runtime envelope even when inherited shell env disables bundled plugins.</li>
+<li>fix(config): validate browser sandbox bind sources [AI]. (#84799) Thanks @pgondhi987.</li>
+<li>doctor: constrain legacy plugin cleanup paths [AI]. (#84801) Thanks @pgondhi987.</li>
+<li>Update/doctor: prune stale local bundled plugin install records that point at old compiled bundled output so current bundled plugin schemas win after upgrade. (#84863) Thanks @fuller-stack-dev.</li>
+<li>Providers/Ollama: preserve native Ollama tool-call IDs across assistant replay so Gemini over Ollama Cloud can keep its hidden function-call thought-signature handle.</li>
+<li>Discord: keep session recovery and <code>/stop</code> abort ownership on the source dispatch lane while bound ACP turns continue routing to their target session, so stalled pre-run work and late replies are cleared instead of leaking after stop. Fixes #84477. (#85100) Thanks @joshavant.</li>
+<li>Codex app-server: mark missing turn completion after observed execution as replay-unsafe and release the session so follow-up turns can run. Fixes #84076. (#85107) Thanks @joshavant.</li>
+<li>Codex app-server: give visible <code>message</code> dynamic tool sends a longer timeout budget so slow channel delivery can return its own result or error instead of hitting the 30-second Codex wrapper. (#85216) Thanks @amknight.</li>
+<li>Codex app-server: add a dedicated post-tool raw assistant completion idle timeout config so trusted heavy turns can wait longer after tool handoff without weakening final assistant release.</li>
+<li>Matrix: keep explicitly configured two-person rooms on the room route before stale <code>m.direct</code> or strict two-member DM fallback can bypass mention gating. Fixes #85017. (#85137) Thanks @joshavant.</li>
+<li>Agents/subagents: require explicit subagent allowlist targets to be configured agents so stale deleted-agent ids are omitted from <code>agents_list</code> and rejected by <code>sessions_spawn</code>. Fixes #84811. (#85154) Thanks @joshavant.</li>
+<li>PDF tool: time out idle remote PDF body reads after 120 seconds so stalled remote documents return an error instead of wedging the session. Fixes #68649. (#84768) Thanks @luoyanglang.</li>
+<li>Diagnostics/OpenTelemetry plugin: suppress handled OTLP exporter promise rejections so collector shutdowns no longer crash the Gateway. (#81085) Thanks @luoyanglang.</li>
+<li>Agents/exec: omit raw command text and env values from denied exec failure logs while keeping safe correlation metadata. Fixes #85049. (#85140) Thanks @joshavant.</li>
+<li>Media/audio: skip empty structured sherpa-onnx transcripts instead of treating the raw JSON payload as spoken text. (#84667) Thanks @TurboTheTurtle.</li>
+<li>Agents/exec: preserve inherited XDG base-directory environment values for subprocesses while still rejecting agent-supplied XDG overrides. Fixes #84854. (#85139) Thanks @joshavant.</li>
+<li>Node/Linux: keep <code>OPENCLAW_GATEWAY_TOKEN</code> out of generated systemd unit files by writing node service token values to a node-specific env file. (#84408)</li>
+<li>Memory-core/dreaming: reuse stable narrative subagent session keys per workspace and phase while keeping per-run idempotency and bounded cleanup, so stale <code>dreaming-narrative-*</code> sessions do not accumulate. Fixes #68252, #69187, and #70402. (#70464) Thanks @chiyouYCH.</li>
+<li>Trajectory/support: tolerate partial skill snapshot entries when building support metadata so rejected skill path scans no longer abort trajectory capture. (#71185) Thanks @lukeboyett.</li>
+<li>TUI: coalesce repeated idle Esc abort notices into a single <code>no active run xN</code> system row instead of appending duplicate rows.</li>
+<li>Telegram: honor <code>channels.telegram.pollingStallThresholdMs</code> in the default isolated polling path, restarting silent workers instead of leaving inbound updates wedged. Fixes #83950. (#84861) Thanks @joshavant.</li>
+<li>Telegram: dedupe replayed message dispatches by Telegram chat/message identity so isolated-ingress replays do not trigger duplicate model dispatches. Fixes #84886. (#85208) Thanks @joshavant.</li>
+<li>Slack: suppress reasoning payloads before reply delivery and dispatch accounting, so Slack monitor, slash-command, fallback, and direct reply paths do not leak model reasoning. Fixes #84319. (#84322) Thanks @ffluk3 and @joshavant.</li>
+<li>Slack: deliver native plugin approval prompts and updates when Slack native approvals are enabled, while keeping plugin approval authorization separate from exec approvers.</li>
+<li>Slack: keep native plugin approval prompts in the originating app conversation thread when the live Slack turn source is a <code>D...</code> conversation.</li>
+<li>Agents/Pi: disable the embedded pi-coding-agent runtime auto-retry so OpenClaw's own retry and failover loop does not replay failed tool calls through a nested SDK retry. Fixes #73781. (#74434) Thanks @yelog.</li>
+<li>CLI/perf: keep <code>setup --help</code>, <code>onboard --help</code>, and <code>configure --help</code> out of the full wizard runtime while preserving the existing help output. (#84488) Thanks @frankekn.</li>
+<li>CLI/perf: keep <code>agents --help</code> out of agents action/runtime imports so help, completion, and command discovery paths avoid loading the full agents runtime. (#84483) Thanks @frankekn.</li>
+<li>CLI/perf: keep <code>secrets --help</code> and <code>nodes --help</code> on the precomputed help path so parent help avoids loading action-heavy command runtime modules. (#84818) Thanks @frankekn.</li>
+<li>CLI/perf: serve <code>doctor</code>, <code>gateway</code>, <code>models</code>, and <code>plugins</code> parent help from startup metadata so common subcommand help avoids full CLI program construction. (#84786) Thanks @frankekn.</li>
+<li>Codex/Lossless: keep context-engine history on the canonical run session when Telegram DMs use per-peer runtime policy keys. Fixes #84936. (#84954) Thanks @neeravmakwana.</li>
+<li>Codex: keep heartbeat response tool schemas durable without exposing dynamic tools disabled by turn policy, so heartbeat wakeups can reuse threads while scoped tool allowlists stay enforced. (#84681) Thanks @jalehman.</li>
+<li>Auth/OAuth: skip the refresh adapter when a stored OAuth credential has no refresh token so agent turns fail fast on missing-key instead of waiting on the 120s refresh timeout. Thanks @romneyda.</li>
+<li>Auth/Codex: load legacy OAuth sidecar credentials in the embedded runner's secrets-runtime auth loaders so Telegram replies, cron-triggered turns, and other isolated sub-agent lanes can reach the existing #83312 refresh-and-rewrite migration instead of failing with <code>No API key found for provider "openai-codex"</code> until the user runs <code>openclaw doctor</code>. Thanks @Totalsolutionsync and @romneyda.</li>
+<li>Codex/failover: classify <code>deactivated_workspace</code> as a permanent auth failure so configured fallback models can advance when a Codex workspace is deactivated. (#55893) Thanks @litang9.</li>
+<li>Exec: keep configured <code>tools.exec.pathPrepend</code> entries ahead of user shell startup PATH changes on POSIX gateway runs. (#81403) Thanks @medns.</li>
+<li>Gateway/sessions: allow shared-secret bearer callers to read and stream session history without an explicit scope header. (#81815) Thanks @medns.</li>
+<li>Agents/embedded runner: classify HTML auth provider responses as <code>auth_html</code> and return a re-authentication hint instead of the CDN-blocked copy that <code>upstream_html</code> returns. Cloudflare Access login pages, nginx basic-auth challenges, and gateway login walls all produce HTML auth bodies that were previously misdiagnosed as transient CDN blocks. (#79900) Thanks @martingarramon.</li>
+<li>TUI/streaming watchdog: dismiss the <code>This response is taking longer than expected</code> notice as soon as a chat event for the same run arrives, so the message no longer sits next to the recovered response when the run was only briefly silent. Refs #67052, #69081 (closed), prior attempt #69026. Thanks @jpruit20 and @romneyda.</li>
+<li>Agents/Pi: tolerate OpenClaw-owned transcript writes while embedded prompts are released for model I/O, keeping long-running Feishu, Slack, Telegram, and cron turns from failing with false session-takeover errors. Fixes #84059. (#84250) Thanks @tianxiaochannel-oss88.</li>

-            <description><![CDATA[<h2>OpenClaw 2026.5.27</h2>
-<h3>Highlights</h3>
-<ul>
-<li>Stronger security and content boundaries: group prompt text is kept out of the system prompt, repeated-dot hostnames are normalized, side-effecting command wrappers and unsafe Node runtime env overrides are blocked, no-auth Tailscale exposure is rejected, and node/device-role approvals now require admin authority. (#87144, #87305, #87292, #87308, #87146) Thanks @eleqtrizit and @pgondhi987.</li>
-<li>More reliable Codex app-server runs: Codex runtime models resolve first, workspace memory is routed through tools, shared app-server clients survive startup and spawned-helper failures, native hook relay generations survive restarts and rotate on fresh fallbacks, and false runtime live switches are avoided. (#87383, #87403, #87375, #72574, #87428) Thanks @yetval.</li>
-<li>Faster Gateway and reply paths: session reads, plugin metadata fingerprints, auth env snapshots, auto-enabled plugin config, tool-search catalogs, and stable metadata caches do less hot-path rediscovery while visible replies no longer inherit hidden cleanup timeouts. (#86439, #87044) Thanks @keshavbotagent.</li>
-<li>Better provider and model coverage: OpenAI-compatible embedding providers are core, DeepInfra catalog browsing loads the full credential-aware model set, Pixverse adds video generation and API region selection, VLLM thinking params are wired, Claude CLI OAuth overlays load for PI auth profiles, and bare direct Anthropic model ids work. (#85269, #84549, #87167) Thanks @dutifulbob, @ats3v, and @joshavant.</li>
-<li>Channel delivery is steadier: Telegram <code>sendMessage</code> actions use durable outbound delivery, iMessage suppresses duplicate native exec approval prompts and sends, Slack keeps delivered final replies during late cleanup, Matrix mention previews/finals are stricter, QQBot fallback approval buttons honor slash-command auth, Discord guild requester checks are tighter, recovered Discord tool-warning artifacts stay out of successful replies, and Google Chat stops thread sends in DMs. (#87261, #87154) Thanks @mbelinky and @eleqtrizit.</li>
-<li>Release, package, and CI proof paths are harder to wedge: npm/package inventory honors dist exclusions, shrinkwrap override pins merge correctly, Docker runtime workspace templates are packaged and smoked, release postpublish checks are stricter, beta smoke rejects empty runs, and E2E log/probe waits are bounded.</li>
-</ul>
+            <description><![CDATA[<h2>OpenClaw 2026.5.20</h2>
 <h3>Changes</h3>
 <ul>
-<li>Memory: add a core OpenAI-compatible embedding provider for local and hosted OpenAI-style endpoints, with config, doctor, and docs support. (#85269) Thanks @dutifulbob.</li>
-<li>Plugin SDK: mark memory-specific embedding provider registration as deprecated compatibility and surface non-bundled usage in plugin compatibility diagnostics. (#85072) Thanks @mbelinky.</li>
-<li>Providers: add the Pixverse video generation provider, API region selection, docs, and external plugin packaging support.</li>
-<li>DeepInfra: load the full model catalog when users browse models during onboarding, preserve configured API-key catalogs, refresh media/video defaults, and keep pricing/default model metadata aligned. (#84549) Thanks @ats3v.</li>
-<li>Plugin SDK: expose plugin approval action metadata and stop exporting Vitest test helpers from the public SDK surface. (#87120) Thanks @RomneyDa.</li>
-<li>Channel SDK: move channel message compatibility into core, remove old channel turn runtime aliases, and preserve runtime catalog markdown metadata for plugins.</li>
-<li>ClawHub: add plugin display metadata so catalog/package listings use cleaner names. (#87354) Thanks @thewilloftheshadow.</li>
-<li>Agents: split the heartbeat runtime template out of docs assets and add compatibility repair for legacy heartbeat template content. (#85416) Thanks @hxy91819.</li>
+<li>Exec approvals: remove the old <code>cat SKILL.md && printf ... && <skill-wrapper></code> allowlist compatibility path so skill files must be loaded with the read tool and only the real skill executable is auto-allowed.</li>
+<li>Discord: let voice sessions follow configured Discord users into voice channels, with allowed-channel checks, multi-user handoff, bounded reconciliation, and DAVE recovery preservation. (#84264) Thanks @fuller-stack-dev.</li>
+<li>Discord/voice: include bounded <code>IDENTITY.md</code>, <code>USER.md</code>, and <code>SOUL.md</code> profile context in realtime voice session instructions by default, with <code>voice.realtime.bootstrapContextFiles: []</code> available to disable it. (#84499) Thanks @fuller-stack-dev.</li>
+<li>Dependencies: bump the bundled Codex harness to <code>@openai/codex</code> <code>0.132.0</code> and refresh the app-server model-list docs for the new catalog.</li>
+<li>CLI/policy: add the bundled Policy plugin for policy-backed channel conformance checks, doctor lint findings, and opt-in workspace repair. (#80407) Thanks @giodl73-repo.</li>
+<li>Agents/config: allow <code>agents.list[].experimental.localModelLean</code> so lean local-model mode can be enabled for one configured agent instead of globally.</li>
+<li>Providers/xAI: add device-code OAuth login so remote and headless setups can authorize xAI without a localhost browser callback. (#84005) Thanks @fuller-stack-dev.</li>
+<li>Providers/OpenRouter: honor provider-level <code>params.provider</code> routing policy for OpenRouter requests, with model and agent params overriding the defaults. Thanks @amknight.</li>
 </ul>

(#86123, #55424, #86855, #74341, #87278) Thanks @luoyanglang, @cathrynlavery, and @openperf.</li>
-<li>Reply/session delivery: keep visible turn admission unbounded, keep visible fallback delivery on latest targets, preserve bridge hook context, classify direct fallback targets by channel grammar, report approval resolutions in bridge mode, and avoid stale source-reply artifacts. (#87044) Thanks @keshavbotagent.</li>
-<li>Channels: make Telegram <code>sendMessage</code> action replies durable and preserve SecretRef prompt config, suppress duplicate iMessage native exec approval prompts and sends, keep iMessage approval polling alive after denied reactions, keep Slack delivered final replies during late cleanup, keep Matrix mention previews/finals mention-inert and normally delivered, ignore filename-embedded Matrix IDs, suppress recovered Discord tool-warning artifacts from successful replies, suppress Google Chat thread sends in DMs, and harden Discord guild requester checks. (#87261, #87452) Thanks @mbelinky.</li>
-<li>Memory: salvage QMD search JSON after nonzero exits and keep workspace memory routing through the Codex tool path where possible. (#87225, #87383, #87403) Thanks @osolmaz.</li>
-<li>Providers/models: forward cached token usage in OpenAI-compatible chat completions, load Claude CLI OAuth overlays for PI auth profiles, send bare direct Anthropic model ids, wire configured VLLM thinking params, honor OpenAI-compatible cache retention, normalize OpenAI Responses replay tool ids, resolve OpenAI <code>gpt-5.5</code> without a cached catalog, preserve <code>retry-after</code> fallback handling, bound GitHub Copilot auth requests, and load DeepInfra custom/live catalogs consistently. (#82062, #87167, #84549) Thanks @caz0075, @joshavant, and @ats3v.</li>
-<li>Gateway/performance: borrow read-only session metadata and active session working stores, cache current/stable plugin metadata fingerprints, cache auto-enabled plugin config, slim metadata identity caches, trust current metadata lifecycle caches, stabilize isolated cron prompt-cache affinity, persist model auth profile suffixes, drain probe client closes, expire browser tokens after auth rotation, and keep default status fast paths bounded. Thanks @ferminquant.</li>
-<li>CLI/help/config: reject loose or malformed numeric options for gateway timeouts, model limits, directory limits, message options, webhooks, and partial values; respect subcommand version options; route generated/root/plugin help targets correctly; keep skills JSON output flushing naturally; and keep plugin descriptor loading quiet in root help. (#87398) Thanks @Patrick-Erichsen.</li>
-<li>Plugin state/tool search: evict the current namespace when plugin rows hit caps, reuse unchanged tool-search catalogs, align the release catalog reuse wrapper, and keep fallback tool warnings mention-inert.</li>
-<li>Install/package/release: match npm globstar exclusions, honor dist package exclusions in inventory, omit unpacked test helpers, skip Homebrew until macOS packages need it, package Docker runtime workspace templates, smoke Docker runtime templates during full validation, merge nested shrinkwrap override pins, preserve forked shrinkwrap pins, pin aged <code>lru-cache</code>, harden postpublish verification, accept main full-validation proof, and reject empty beta smoke runs.</li>
-<li>E2E/QA/Crabbox: bound Telegram, Open WebUI, ClawHub, Matrix, Tool Search, MCP, gateway network, bundled runtime, kitchen-sink, codex media, config reload, and agent-turn assertion waits; prefer Azure for Windows targets; reinitialize invalid changed-gate git dirs; full-sync sparse container runs; and fail empty explicit test requests. (#87186)</li>
+<li>CLI/tasks: include stale-running task maintenance decisions in <code>openclaw tasks maintenance --json</code> so retained and reconcile candidates explain backing-session, cron, CLI, and wedged-subagent state. (#84691) Thanks @efpiva.</li>
+<li>Codex app-server: keep system-prompt reports working when bootstrap hooks provide workspace files with only a path and content, so hook-supplied SOUL/IDENTITY/TOOLS/USER context still reports injected characters correctly. (#84736) Thanks @JARVIS-Glasses.</li>
+<li>Providers/MiniMax music: stop advertising <code>durationSeconds</code> control and remove prompt-injected duration hints, so <code>music_generate</code> reports MiniMax duration as an unsupported override instead of suggesting MiniMax can enforce track length. Fixes #84508. Thanks @neeravmakwana.</li>
+<li>Doctor: warn when sandbox tool policy hides configured MCP server tools before provider requests. (#84699) Thanks @nxmxbbd.</li>
+<li>WhatsApp: update Baileys to <code>7.0.0-rc12</code>.</li>
+<li>Build: suppress per-locale <code>rolldown-plugin-dts:fake-js</code> CommonJS dts warnings emitted while bundling the intentionally-inlined <code>zod/v4/locales/*.d.cts</code> files, so <code>pnpm build</code> output stays readable after the 0.25.1 plugin bump. Thanks @romneyda.</li>
+<li>CLI/nodes: route lazy plugin-registration logs to stderr for JSON-mode <code>openclaw nodes</code> commands so stdout stays parseable. (#84684) Thanks @TurboTheTurtle.</li>
+<li>Approvals: route manual <code>/approve</code> decisions through the trusted approval runtime so active exec and plugin approvals no longer look unknown or expired.</li>
+<li>Mac app: update the About settings copyright year to 2026. (#84385) Thanks @pejmanjohn.</li>
+<li>Dependencies: update <code>@openclaw/fs-safe</code> to <code>0.2.7</code> so OpenClaw's default Python-helper-off policy keeps best-effort Node write fallbacks for private stores, secret writes, run logs, and media attachments on Linux/macOS.</li>
+<li>Infra/secrets: restore the fail-closed contract for <code>tryReadSecretFileSync</code> so credential loaders that pass <code>rejectSymlink: true</code> (Telegram, LINE, Zalo, IRC, Nextcloud Talk tokens) refuse symlinked credential files instead of silently accepting them, and the infra-state CI shard's secret-file symlink test passes again. Thanks @romneyda.</li>
+<li>Browser: honor the configured image sanitization limit for screenshots and labeled snapshots so browser-captured images follow the same resize policy as other image results. (#84595)</li>
+<li>Doctor: remove unrecognized <code>models.providers.*.models[*].compat.thinkingFormat</code> values during <code>doctor --fix</code> so stale provider model config can validate after upgrade. Fixes #77803.</li>
+<li>Doctor: warn when <code>openclaw.json</code> stores plaintext secret-bearing config fields, including model provider API keys and sensitive provider headers. (#84718) Thanks @lukaIvanic.</li>
+<li>Status: show the configured default, session-selected model, reason, clear hint, and docs link when a session remains pinned to a model that differs from <code>agents.defaults.model.primary</code>.</li>
+<li>WebChat: clear stale typing indicators when session change events mark the active chat run complete.</li>
+<li>Mac app: keep local packaging signed with a stable app identity for permission testing and fix Control UI production builds under current Vite/Highlight.js exports.</li>
+<li>macOS app: update the embedded Peekaboo bridge to 3.2.1 so OpenClaw-hosted UI automation works with current Peekaboo CLI capture flows.</li>
+<li>Cron: deliver preferred final assistant output for successful scheduled runs when trailing plain tool warnings remain in diagnostics instead of marking the run failed.</li>
+<li>fix(mattermost): fail closed on missing channel type [AI]. (#84091) Thanks @pgondhi987.</li>
+<li>Recheck rebuilt system.run argv [AI]. (#84090) Thanks @pgondhi987.</li>
+<li>CLI: keep the private QA subcommand out of exported command descriptors unless <code>OPENCLAW_ENABLE_PRIVATE_QA_CLI=1</code>, so root help and subcommand markers match runtime registration. (#84519)</li>
+<li>CLI/cron: bound <code>openclaw cron show</code> job lookup pagination so non-advancing or unbounded <code>cron.list</code> responses fail instead of hanging the command. Fixes #83856. (#83989)</li>
+<li>Agents/messages: stop message-tool-only turns after a successful source-channel <code>message</code> send while keeping transcript mirrors under the session write lock. (#84289)</li>
+<li>Agents: filter silent heartbeat response-tool transcript artifacts out of embedded context snapshots so later user turns are not polluted by heartbeat no-op messages. (#83477) Thanks @fuller-stack-dev.</li>
+<li>Agents/OpenAI: log repeated strict tool-schema downgrade diagnostics once per provider/model/tool signature, reducing duplicate debug noise while preserving <code>strict=false</code> fallback behavior. Fixes #82930. (#82933) Thanks @galiniliev.</li>
+<li>Agents/code mode: spell out the <code>exec</code> tool's JavaScript/TypeScript, no Node module, and catalog-bridge constraints in model-visible schema text so agents can use enabled tools without trial-and-error. (#84269) Thanks @Kaspre.</li>
+<li>Codex: give <code>image_generate</code> dynamic-tool calls a 120s default watchdog when no per-call or configured image timeout is set, so image generation no longer falls back to the generic 30s bridge timeout. (#84254) Thanks @moritzmmayerhofer.</li>
+<li>Codex: avoid duplicate dynamic tool terminal diagnostics while large diagnostic backlogs drain without blocking tool responses. (#82937) Thanks @galiniliev.</li>
+<li>CLI/message: include a stable top-level <code>messageId</code> in <code>openclaw message --json</code> output when channel sends return one. (#84191) Thanks @100menotu001.</li>
+<li>Cron: preserve legacy top-level array <code>jobs.json</code> stores when loading or adding scheduled jobs so old cron jobs are no longer treated as an empty store during upgrade. Fixes #60799. (#84433) Thanks @IWhatsskill.</li>
+<li>Gateway/agents: use an agent's <code>identity.name</code> in Gateway agent summaries when <code>agents.list[].name</code> is unset, so configured agent labels remain visible in clients. (#84355; refs #57835) Thanks @luoyanglang.</li>
+<li>Channels/replies: keep normal <code>/verbose</code> failed-tool progress compact in message-tool replies and prevent late text-only tool output from appearing after the final answer. (#84303) Thanks @VACInc.</li>
+<li>Plugins/hooks: apply a default 30-second timeout to <code>before_compaction</code> and <code>after_compaction</code> hooks so a hung plugin handler no longer blocks compaction completion. (#84153)</li>
+<li>Discord: preserve disabled presentation buttons when adapting and rendering Discord message controls. (#84188) Thanks @100menotu001.</li>
+<li>Twitch: add a test-only client-manager registry reset helper so non-isolated Twitch tests can clear cached managers between cases. Fixes #83887. (#84244) Thanks @hclsys.</li>
+<li>Cron: run main-session scheduled work on a cron-owned wake lane while preserving reply delivery context, so background cron turns no longer block human main-session chat. Fixes #82766. (#82767) Thanks @galiniliev.</li>
+<li>Cron: use structured embedded-run denial metadata for isolated scheduled tasks so blocked exec requests fail the job without treating ordinary assistant prose as a denial. (#84067) Thanks @abnershang.</li>
+<li>Cron: keep recovered tool warnings diagnostic for successful scheduled runs so final cron output is delivered instead of being replaced by a post-processing warning. (#84045) Thanks @abnershang.</li>
+<li>Plugins/perf: thread explicit plugin discovery results through <code>loadBundledCapabilityRuntimeRegistry</code>, <code>resolveBundledPluginSources</code>, and <code>listChannelCatalogEntries</code> so callers that already hold a discovery result skip redundant filesystem walks. Thanks @SebTardif.</li>
+<li>harden update restart script creation [AI]. (#84088) Thanks @pgondhi987.</li>
+<li>Docker: keep the bundled Codex plugin in official release image keep lists so the default OpenAI agent harness remains available after Docker pruning. Fixes #83613. (#83626) Thanks @YuanHanzhong.</li>
+<li>CLI/channels: preserve the first line of <code>openclaw channels logs</code> output when the rolling tail window starts exactly on a line boundary, mirroring the already-fixed <code>readLogSlice</code> behavior in <code>src/logging/log-tail.ts</code>.</li>
+<li>Control UI: treat terminal session status as authoritative over stale active-run flags so completed terminal runs stop showing abort/live UI. (#84057)</li>
+<li>CLI: preserve embedded equals signs in inline root option values instead of truncating after the second separator. (#83995) Thanks @ThiagoCAltoe.</li>
+<li>Matrix/config: accept <code>messages.queue.byChannel.matrix</code> queue overrides and keep queue provider schema/type keys aligned for Matrix, Google Chat, and Mattermost. Thanks @bdjben.</li>
+<li>CLI: format <code>openclaw acp client</code> failures through the shared error formatter so object-shaped errors stay readable instead of printing <code>[object Object]</code>. Fixes #83904. (#84080)</li>
+<li>Providers/Ollama: default unknown-capabilities models to tool-capable so discovered native Ollama models can use tools when <code>/api/show</code> omits capabilities. (#84055) Thanks @dutifulbob.</li>
+<li>Installer/Windows: launch <code>install.ps1</code> onboarding as an attached child process so fresh native Windows installs do not freeze visibly at <code>Starting setup...</code> or corrupt the wizard's terminal rendering.</li>
+<li>CLI/update: keep restart health checks working across one-version CLI/Gateway protocol skew and use the managed Gateway service Node for all follow-up commands even when the package root is unchanged, so <code>openclaw update</code> no longer silently switches the gateway to a different Node binary when multiple Node installations are present. Thanks @amknight.</li>
+<li>CLI/gateway: include the running Gateway version in <code>gateway status</code> JSON output, preserving existing server metadata while falling back to status RPC data for read probes. Fixes #56222. Thanks @galiniliev.</li>
+<li>Memory/search: close local embedding providers when active-memory searches time out so pending local model loads and embedding contexts are aborted and released. (#83858) Thanks @brokemac79.</li>
+<li>CLI/nodes: request pending node surface approval scopes before <code>openclaw nodes approve</code> so exec-capable node approval can use admin-scoped Gateway credentials instead of failing with <code>missing scope: operator.admin</code>. (#84392) Thanks @joshavant.</li>
+<li>Gateway: reject slow node event sends before outbound buffers grow unbounded and log the rejected payload diagnostic. (#84387) Thanks @samzong.</li>
+<li>Agents: include bounded trajectory queued-writer diagnostics in <code>pi-trajectory-flush</code> timeout warnings so flush stalls show pending writes, queued bytes, and append state. Fixes #82961. (#82962) Thanks @galiniliev.</li>
+<li>Agents/subagents: recover stale completion announces by retrying unsupported transcript-wait wakes without transcript waiting and forcing a message-tool handoff when the requester run is already stale. Fixes #83699. (#83700) Thanks @galiniliev.</li>
+<li>Agents/subagents: constrain wildcard subagent target allowlists to configured agents while preserving explicitly listed compatibility targets. Fixes #84040. (#84357) Thanks @joshavant.</li>
+<li>Providers/Anthropic: route Anthropic model refs selected with Claude CLI auth through the Claude CLI runtime so shorthand refs such as <code>anthropic/opus-4.7</code> no longer fall back to embedded Anthropic billing. Fixes #84222. (#84374) Thanks @joshavant.</li>
+<li>Agents: honor explicit <code>models.providers.<id>.timeoutSeconds</code> values above the default idle watchdog for cloud and self-hosted providers, so long first-token waits no longer fall back at ~120s when the provider timeout is higher. (#83979) Thanks @yujiawei.</li>
+<li>Agents/Codex: keep encrypted Responses reasoning replay provenance-bound so stale mirrored Codex transcripts drop invalid encrypted content before request assembly while preserving matching same-session replay. Fixes #83836. (#84367) Thanks @joshavant.</li>
+<li>Agents/subagents: skip stale embedded-run wake probes for dormant completion requesters, so late subagent completions go straight to requester-agent/direct handoff instead of producing <code>reason=no_active_run</code> queue noise. (#82964) Thanks @galiniliev.</li>
+<li>CLI: retry config snapshot reads after a transient failure so one rejected read no longer poisons later commands in the same process. (#83931) Thanks @honor2030.</li>
+<li>Media: decode URL path basenames before using them as remote media fallback filenames, so files like <code>My%20Report.pdf</code> are surfaced as <code>My Report.pdf</code>. Fixes #84050. (#84052) Thanks @jbetala7.</li>
+<li>WhatsApp: clarify inbound group diagnostics so observed but unregistered groups point to <code>channels.whatsapp.groups</code> without changing routing or sender authorization. (#83846) Thanks @neeravmakwana.</li>
+<li>WhatsApp: drain pending outbound deliveries on a 30s periodic timer in addition to the reconnect handler, so messages enqueued while the provider is already connected no longer wait for the next reconnect to send. (#79083) Thanks @Oviemudiaga.</li>
+<li>CLI/TUI: include gateway plugin slash commands in TUI autocomplete, so connected sessions can suggest plugin-owned commands exposed by the running Gateway. (#83640) Thanks @se7en-agent.</li>
+<li>Gateway/mobile: restore QR setup-code handoff of bounded operator tokens for iOS and Android onboarding while keeping admin and pairing scopes out of bootstrap. (#83684) Thanks @ngutman.</li>
+<li>iOS: repair Release archive compilation for the TestFlight build. (#84255) Thanks @ngutman.</li>
+<li>Agents/compaction: bound plugin-owned CLI transcript compaction with the host safety timeout so a hung context engine can no longer stall post-turn cleanup. (#84083) Thanks @100yenadmin.</li>
+<li>Control UI/usage: truncate long context skill, tool, and file names in the usage panel while keeping the full name available on hover. (#42197) Thanks @Rain120.</li>
+<li>Codex: respect explicit <code>models auth order set</code> and <code>config.auth.order</code> precedence over stale <code>lastGood</code> in <code>/codex account</code>, and show <code>no working credential</code> when every explicit-order profile is ineligible instead of marking a lower-ranked profile as active. Fixes #84386. (#84412) Thanks @openperf.</li>
+<li>Agents: honor <code>messages.suppressToolErrors</code> for mutating tool failures so configured chat surfaces do not receive separate warning payloads. (#81561) Thanks @moeedahmed.</li>
+<li>Agents/fallback: surface billing guidance for mixed rate-limit plus billing fallback exhaustion instead of generic failure copy. Fixes #79396. (#79489) Thanks @aayushprsingh.</li>

-            <description><![CDATA[<h2>OpenClaw 2026.5.26</h2>
-<h3>Highlights</h3>
-<ul>
-<li>Faster Gateway and replies: startup avoids repeated plugin, channel, session, usage-cost, warning, scheduled-service, and filesystem scans; visible replies separate user-facing sends from slower follow-up work; Gateway runtime/session caches churn less under load.</li>
-<li>Transcripts are core: transcript-backed meeting summaries, source-provider chunks, cleaned user turns, media provenance, Codex mirrors, WebChat replies, and CLI/TUI replay now use one more reliable transcript path.</li>
-<li>More channels are production-ready: Telegram keeps typing/progress context and forum topics, iMessage handles attachment roots, remote media staging, and duplicate local Messages sources, WhatsApp restores group/media behavior, Discord improves voice playback and model picking, and Signal/iMessage/WhatsApp get reaction approvals.</li>
-<li>Better voice and Talk: realtime Talk runs can be inspected, steered, cancelled, or followed up from Web UI and Discord voice; wake-name handling is more tolerant without letting ambient speech trigger agents.</li>
-<li>Safer content boundaries: Browser snapshot reads honor SSRF policy, system-event text cannot spoof nested prompt markers, fetched file text is wrapped as external content, ClickClack inbound sender allowlists run before agent dispatch, stale device tokens are rejected, and serialized tool-call text is scrubbed from replies.</li>
-<li>Providers, Codex, and local models are steadier: named auth profiles, OpenAI sampling params, Codex app-server resume/timeout/usage-limit recovery, dynamic tool-schema guards, xAI usage-limit surfacing, Ollama top-p normalization, and local approval resolution reduce provider-specific dead ends.</li>
-<li>More reliable install/update/release paths: Alpine installs, trusted runtime fallback roots, stable update channels, Docker/package timeouts, Windows Scheduled Tasks, Windows/macOS proof lanes, Testbox/Crabbox delegation, plugin publish checks, and macOS runner bootstraps all got hardened.</li>
-<li>Better observability: Activity tab, gateway secret-prep traces, tool/model stream progress, explicit fast-mode status, systemd Gateway hygiene, OpenTelemetry LLM spans, release performance evidence, and richer telemetry signals make failures easier to inspect.</li>
-</ul>
+            <description><![CDATA[<h2>OpenClaw 2026.5.19</h2>
 <h3>Changes</h3>
 <ul>
-<li>Transcripts: add core transcript capture and source-provider support for transcript-backed meeting summaries, including the renamed Transcripts docs, CLI surface, source-provider chunks, and cleaned user-turn persistence.</li>
-<li>Auth: add named model login profiles and supported credential migration for Hermes, OpenCode, and Codex auth profiles, with explicit opt-out and non-interactive controls. (#85667) Thanks @fuller-stack-dev.</li>
-<li>Diagnostics: trace gateway secret preparation, classify skill/tool usage, surface model stream progress, add OpenTelemetry LLM content spans, and expose alertable telemetry for blocked tools, failover, stale sessions, liveness, oversized payloads, and webhook ingress. (#83019, #80370, #86191)</li>
-<li>Channels: add Signal reaction approvals, iMessage thumb approval reactions, and WhatsApp thumb approval reaction support so mobile approval flows work without textual <code>/approve</code> commands. (#85894, #85952, #85477)</li>
-<li>Agents/API: forward OpenAI sampling params through the Gateway and expose estimated context-budget status for active agent runs. (#84094)</li>
-<li>TUI/status: queue prompts submitted while an agent is busy and show explicit fast-mode state plus richer systemd Gateway hygiene in status output. (#86722, #87115, #86976)</li>
-<li>Exec approvals: hide durable approval actions that are unavailable for the current prompt and keep approval runtime tokens local-only so stale prompts cannot offer misleading controls. (#86270, #86359)</li>
-<li>Plugin SDK: add reaction approval helpers and keep diagnostic event root exports discoverable across function-name and alias-bound module graphs. (#86735, #87084)</li>
-<li>Android/iOS: add the Android pair-new-gateway action and improve mobile Talk mode surfaces, including iOS realtime Talk mode and Android offline voice/gateway recovery. (#86798, #86355) Thanks @ngutman.</li>
-<li>Performance: cache plugin metadata snapshots, package realpaths, stable gateway metadata, model cost indexes, channel resolution, usage-cost indexes, and session/auth hot-path facts so common Gateway and reply paths do less rediscovery. (#84649, #85843, #86517, #86678)</li>
-<li>Voice: expose shared realtime turn-context tracking through the realtime voice SDK and reuse it for Discord speaker attribution and wake-name context recovery.</li>
-<li>Voice: reuse shared realtime output activity tracking in Google Meet command and node audio bridges, including recent-output checks for local barge-in detection.</li>
-<li>Voice: expose shared realtime output activity tracking through the realtime voice SDK and reuse it for Discord playback activity and barge-in decisions.</li>
-<li>Voice: expose shared realtime consult question matching, speakable-result extraction, and alias-aware forced-consult coordination through the realtime voice SDK, then reuse it in Gateway Talk, Voice Call, and Discord voice paths.</li>
-<li>Voice: share activation-name matching and consult-transcript screening through the realtime voice SDK so Discord, browser voice, and meeting surfaces can reuse one implementation.</li>
-<li>Cron: default <code>cron.maxConcurrentRuns</code> to 8 so scheduled automations and their isolated agent turns can make progress in parallel without explicit configuration.</li>
-<li>QA-Lab: add <code>qa coverage --match <query></code> so focused proof selection can discover matching scenarios from existing metadata before running live or remote lanes.</li>
-<li>Discord/model picker: surface an alpha-bucket select (e.g. <code>A–G (12) · H–N (18) · O–Z (5)</code>) when the provider list or a provider's model list exceeds 25 items, so configs with <code>provider/*</code> wildcards stay one click from the right page instead of paginating through prev/next; falls back to numeric chunks when every item shares the same first letter.</li>
-<li>Control UI: add an ephemeral Activity tab for sanitized live tool activity summaries without persisting raw telemetry. Fixes #12831. Thanks @BunsDev.</li>
-<li>Build: include <code>ui:build</code> in the <code>full</code> and <code>ciArtifacts</code> profiles of <code>scripts/build-all.mjs</code> so <code>pnpm build</code> always rebuilds <code>dist/control-ui</code> after <code>tsdown</code> cleans <code>dist</code>, removing the second-command requirement and the missing-asset failure mode for source/runtime installs and CI artifact uploads. (#85206)</li>
-<li>iOS: improve Talk mode with direct realtime voice sessions, compact toolbar status, and responsive voice waveform feedback. (#86355) Thanks @ngutman.</li>
-<li>Media: replace the Sharp image backend with Rastermill for metadata, resizing, EXIF orientation, and PNG alpha-preserving optimization so OpenClaw no longer installs Sharp or the WhatsApp Jimp fallback for image processing. (#86437)</li>
-<li>Codex: update the bundled Codex CLI to 0.134.0 and keep native compaction disabled for budget-triggered app-server turns so OpenClaw owns the recovery boundary. (#86772)</li>
+<li>Agents: clarify that fixes should default to clean bounded refactors, lean internals, and explicit plugin SDK/API deprecation paths.</li>
+<li>Dependencies: update <code>@openclaw/proxyline</code> to 0.3.3.</li>
+<li>Dependencies: update Pi packages to 0.75.1 and raise the minimum supported Node.js 22 line to 22.19.</li>
+<li>Docker/Podman: add <code>OPENCLAW_IMAGE_APT_PACKAGES</code> as the runtime-neutral image build arg for extra apt packages while keeping <code>OPENCLAW_DOCKER_APT_PACKAGES</code> as a legacy fallback. (#62431) Thanks @urtabajev.</li>
+<li>Gateway/ACPX: attribute startup probe, config, runtime, and resource-count costs in restart traces without changing readiness behavior. (#83300) Thanks @samzong.</li>
+<li>Gateway: overlap startup logging and plugin-service startup with channel sidecars to reduce restart ready latency while preserving <code>/readyz</code> sidecar gating. (#83301) Thanks @samzong.</li>
+<li>Plugins/admin-http-rpc: allow trusted admin HTTP RPC clients to start and wait for web QR login flows. (#83259) Thanks @liorb-mountapps.</li>
+<li>Mac app: redesign Settings pages with consistent card layouts, cached navigation, cleaner permissions/voice/skills/cron/exec/debug panes, and steadier spacing around the native sidebar.</li>
+<li>Mac app: refine Voice & Talk recognition-language and wake-phrase settings so they use the same compact card rows as the rest of Settings.</li>
+<li>Skills: rename the repo-local Codex closeout review skill and helper to <code>autoreview</code> while preserving the Codex-first fallback behavior.</li>
+<li>Skills: add a meme-maker skill for curated template search, local SVG/PNG rendering, Imgflip hosted rendering, and Know Your Meme provenance links.</li>
+<li>Skills CLI: allow <code>openclaw skills install</code> and <code>openclaw skills update</code> to target shared managed skills with <code>--global</code>. (#74466) Thanks @Marvae.</li>
+<li>Browser: surface pending and recently handled modal dialogs in snapshots, return <code>blockedByDialog</code> when an action opens a modal, and allow <code>browser dialog --dialog-id</code> to answer pending dialogs.</li>
+<li>Browser CLI: add <code>openclaw browser evaluate --timeout-ms</code> so long-running page functions can extend both the evaluate action and request timeout budgets. (#83447) Thanks @eefreenyc.</li>
+<li>Codex app-server: scope OpenClaw prompt guidance by runtime surface so native Codex keeps Codex-owned base/personality instructions while OpenClaw contributes only runtime context, delivery guidance, and explicitly scoped command hints. (#83454) Thanks @100yenadmin.</li>
+<li>Docker/Podman: add <code>OPENCLAW_IMAGE_PIP_PACKAGES</code> for opt-in Python package installation in local image builds. (#83771) Thanks @stephenredmond-straiteis.</li>
+<li>Agents/tools: shorten built-in tool descriptions and schema hints across media, messaging, sessions, cron, Gateway, web, image/PDF, TTS, nodes, and plan tools while preserving routing guardrails.</li>
+<li>Skills: add node inspector debugging, fused diagram generation, and throwaway spike workflow skills.</li>
+<li>CLI/plugins: add <code>defineToolPlugin</code> plus <code>openclaw plugins build</code>, <code>validate</code>, and <code>init</code> for typed simple tool plugins with generated manifest metadata, optional tool declarations, and context factories.</li>
+<li>Agents/skills: tighten bundled skill prompts and metadata, quote skill descriptions, refresh current CLI/API guidance, and update embedded sherpa-onnx runtime downloads.</li>
+<li>Skills: update the Obsidian skill to target the official <code>obsidian</code> CLI and require its registered binary instead of the third-party <code>obsidian-cli</code>.</li>
+<li>Skills: add a Python debugging skill for pdb, breakpoint(), post-mortem inspection, and debugpy remote attach.</li>
+<li>Codex: add <code>/codex plugins list</code>, <code>enable</code>, and <code>disable</code> for managing configured native Codex plugins from chat without editing config by hand.</li>
+<li>Plugins/messages: add presentation capability limits for channel renderers, adapt rich message controls before native rendering, and mark legacy <code>interactive</code>/Slack directive producer APIs as deprecated.</li>
+<li>Plugins/subagents: store channel delivery routes as canonical session metadata and deprecate ad hoc subagent hook delivery-origin fields in favor of core route projection.</li>
+<li>Proxy: support HTTPS managed forward-proxy endpoints and scoped <code>proxy.tls.caFile</code> CA trust for proxy endpoint TLS. (#79171) Thanks @jesse-merhi.</li>
+<li>QA-Lab: add first-hour 20-turn and optional 100-turn runtime parity scenarios, with tier metadata for standard and soak QA gates. Fixes #80338; refs #80337. Thanks @100yenadmin.</li>
+<li>QA-Lab: add <code>openclaw qa suite --runtime-parity-tier</code> and wire the standard Codex-vs-Pi tier into release checks separately from optional/live-only/soak lanes. Fixes #80337. Thanks @100yenadmin.</li>
+<li>QA-Lab: add a live-only Codex Pi-shaped Read vocabulary canary so runtime parity catches native workspace-read prompt compatibility drift. (#80323) Thanks @100yenadmin.</li>
+<li>QA-Lab: add live-only harness self-health scenarios for plugin hook crashes, manifest contract errors, and WebChat direct-reply self-message routing. (#80323) Thanks @100yenadmin.</li>

 <h3>Fixes</h3>
 <ul>
-<li>Memory/security: reject prompt-like text submitted through the explicit <code>memory_store</code> tool before embedding or storage, matching the existing auto-capture prompt-injection filter. (#87142)</li>
-<li>Gateway/security: enable the default auth rate limiter for remote non-browser and HTTP gateway auth failures when <code>gateway.auth.rateLimit</code> is unset, while preserving the loopback exemption. (#87148)</li>
-<li>Security/content boundaries: validate Browser snapshot tab URLs against SSRF policy before ChromeMCP or direct CDP reads, sanitize queued system-event text so untrusted plugin/channel labels cannot spoof nested prompt markers, wrap fetched file text and metadata as external content, apply ClickClack <code>allowFrom</code> sender allowlists before agent dispatch, reject RPCs from invalidated device-token clients during rotation, require staged sandbox media refs, and scrub serialized tool-call text from replies. (#78526, #87094, #87062, #83741, #70707, #86924) Thanks @zsxsoft, @ttzero25, and @mmaps.</li>
-<li>Transcripts/user turns: persist CLI, WebChat, media, follow-up, hook, and Codex-mirror user turns to the admitted session target; keep cleaned transcript text, inline image routing, provenance metadata, replay hooks, and fallback paths idempotent when runtimes fail or restart.</li>

-<li>Install/release: bound Docker package build, inventory, pack, and tarball preparation with process-group timeouts; pin shrinkwrap patch drift to the pnpm lock; harden macOS restart and dSYM packaging; and run release Docker/live timeout wrappers in the foreground so child processes cannot wedge gates.</li>
-<li>Telegram/network: treat <code>ENETDOWN</code> as a transient pre-connect network failure so Telegram sends, gateway unhandled-rejection handling, and cron network retries follow the same recovery path as sibling network outages. (#86762) Thanks @TurboTheTurtle.</li>
-<li>Telegram: preserve inbound text entities, overlapping DM replies, account topic cache sidecars, outbound reply context, targeted bot-command mentions, durable group retry targets, forum topic names, and native progress callbacks.

-<li>CI: send KILL after the TERM grace period for Bun global install smoke command timeouts so trapped <code>openclaw</code> child processes cannot wedge the scheduled install smoke.</li>
-<li>iMessage: thread current channel/account inbound attachment roots into the image tool so iMessage-saved attachments under <code>~/Library/Messages/Attachments</code> (including the wildcard <code>/Users/*/Library/Messages/Attachments</code> root) are read through the existing inbound path policy instead of being rejected as <code>path-not-allowed</code>. Literal <code>localRoots</code> stays workspace-scoped. Fixes #30170. (#86569)</li>
-<li>QQ Bot: respect <code>OPENCLAW_HOME</code> for outbound media path resolution so <code><qqmedia></code> sends no longer silently fail when <code>HOME</code> and <code>OPENCLAW_HOME</code> differ (Docker / multi-user hosts).

-<li>Gateway/security: escape transcript metadata field names while extracting oversized session line prefixes. (#85934) Thanks @SebTardif.</li>
-<li>Plugins/security: validate manifest model pattern regexes with the safe-regex compiler so unsafe patterns are ignored before matching. (#86046) Thanks @SebTardif.</li>

-<li>OpenShell/SSH: reject malformed generated exec commands before sandbox/session setup so unresolved workflow placeholders fail fast instead of reaching the remote shell. Fixes #72373. Thanks @brokemac79.</li>
-<li>Google: stop normalizing <code>gemini-3.1-flash-lite</code> to the retired preview endpoint and update Flash Lite alias guidance to the GA model id. Fixes #86151. (#86240) Thanks @SebTardif.</li>
-<li>Installer: make Alpine apk installs cover Git, verify the Node runtime floor, try <code>nodejs-current</code>, and report Alpine version guidance when repositories only provide older Node packages.</li>
-<li>Agents/status: prefer the active Claude CLI OAuth auth label over an unused Anthropic env API-key label for equivalent runtime aliases. Fixes #80184. (#86570) Thanks @brokemac79.</li>

-<li>Tests: clean successful plugin gateway gauntlet isolated temp roots while keeping an explicit preservation switch for failed/debug runs.</li>
-<li>Plugins/perf: reuse derived plugin metadata snapshots for the lifetime of the process so reply-time skill setup no longer rescans plugin metadata on every turn.</li>

-<li>Gateway/plugins: reuse plugin package realpath checks while building installed plugin indexes so startup avoids repeated filesystem resolution work.</li>
-<li>Kilo Gateway: send string <code>stop</code> sequences as arrays so Kilo accepts OpenAI-compatible chat completions. (#86461) Thanks @SebTardif.</li>
-<li>Discord/OpenAI voice: accept leading fuzzy wake-name transcripts such as "Monty" or "Moti" for a Molty agent while keeping ambient speech gated.</li>
-<li>Media understanding: convert HEIC and HEIF images to JPEG before image description providers run so iPhone photos work in direct and configured image-description flows. (#86037)</li>

-<li>QA-Lab: make the synthetic OpenAI provider honor generic <code>reply exactly:</code> directives after required kickoff reads so restart-recovery scenarios do not fall through to generic repo-summary prose.</li>
-<li>Gateway: abort active <code>agent</code> RPC runs during forced restart shutdown so stale in-process turns cannot keep writing a session after the Gateway lifecycle restarts.</li>
-<li>Crabbox: sync clean sparse worktrees through a temporary full checkout even when reusing an existing lease so tracked build-time files are not omitted.</li>
-<li>Build: route <code>scripts/ui.js</code> through the shared pnpm runner and keep Control UI chunking helpers in sparse-included source so native Windows Corepack builds can produce <code>dist/control-ui</code>.</li>

-<li>xAI/LM Studio: promote plain-text tool-call fallbacks into structured tool calls and strip leaked internal tool syntax before user-facing delivery. (#86222) Thanks @fuller-stack-dev.</li>
-<li>CLI: suppress benign self-update version-skew warnings during package post-update finalization.</li>
-<li>Gateway/perf: tighten restart and startup benchmark failure handling so long profiling runs, failed probes, and fresh Linux runners no longer produce false passing or <code>n/a</code> results.</li>
-<li>Checks: keep intentional Knip unused-file findings optional so full CI and sparse proof workspaces stay aligned.</li>
-<li>Docker: restore writable <code>~/.config</code> in runtime images. Fixes #85968. Thanks @hkoessler and @Bartok9.</li>
-<li>Plugin SDK: keep legacy root diagnostic subscriptions connected when built plugin SDK aliases resolve diagnostic helpers through a separate module graph.</li>
-<li>Diagnostics: export alertable OTel and Prometheus signals for blocked tools, model failover, stale sessions, liveness warnings, oversized payloads, and webhook ingress while fixing shared OTLP endpoints with query strings.</li>
-<li>Tests: normalize macOS canonical temp paths in exec allowlists, fs-safe trash assertions, installed plugin matching, Telegram topic-name stores, and built ACPX MCP server expectations so native macOS proof runners cover the intended behavior.</li>
-<li>Codex/app-server: preserve message-tool-only source reply delivery mode on active runs so sub-agent completion wakeups can steer the active Codex turn instead of being rejected. (#86287) Thanks @ferminquant.</li>
-<li>Tests: sample the Windows kitchen-sink RPC gateway directly and serialize RSS probes so native runs keep the memory guard active.</li>
-<li>Tests: normalize bundled plugin lifecycle probe paths and state-root lookup so native Windows release sweeps accept valid packaged plugin installs.</li>
-<li>Agents/Claude CLI: route live native Bash permission requests through OpenClaw exec policy so Claude turns no longer stall on <code>control_request</code>, and document that OpenClaw exec policy is authoritative. Fixes #80819. (#86330, from #81971) Thanks @guthirry and @sallyom.</li>
-<li>Security audit: warn when YOLO OpenClaw exec policy overrides a restrictive raw Claude <code>--permission-mode</code> for managed live sessions. (#86557) Thanks @sallyom.</li>
-<li>Config: keep benign legacy metadata write anomalies out of default doctor and config command output while preserving explicit anomaly logging for diagnostics.</li>
-<li>Codex: log when implicit app-server <code>never</code> approvals are promoted for OpenClaw tool policy, including whether the trigger was a <code>before_tool_call</code> hook or trusted tool policy.</li>
-<li>Codex harness: make subscription usage-limit errors without reset times explain that OpenClaw cannot determine the reset and point users to wait until Codex is available, use another Codex account, or switch to another configured model/provider. Thanks @amknight.</li>
-<li>Google Vertex: support production ADC modes such as Workload Identity Federation, service-account credentials, and metadata-server ADC for the native Vertex transport. (#83971) Thanks @damianFelixPago.</li>

-<ul>
-<li>Gateway: require Talk secret authority before setup-code handoff can include Talk secrets. (#85690) Thanks @ngutman.</li>
-<li>Agents: keep fallback error reporting scoped to the active model candidate so stale prior-provider quota/auth text is not reported for later fallback attempts. (#86134) Thanks @zhangguiping-xydt.</li>
-<li>iMessage: dedupe watcher startup when <code>channels.imessage.accounts</code> lists both <code>default</code> and a named account that point at the same local Messages source, so the gateway no longer spawns two <code>imsg rpc</code> processes or doubles inbound replies; the dedupe is scoped to watcher startup, leaving duplicate accounts addressable for outbound sends, status, and capability listings, and <code>openclaw doctor</code> flags the redundant account with a rebinding hint. Fixes #65141. (#86705) Thanks @swang430.</li>
+<li>CLI: reject explicit port numbers above 65535 before they reach Gateway or Node bind paths. Fixes #83900. (#84008) Thanks @hclsys.</li>
+<li>Codex app-server: preserve plugin tool auth profiles when Codex owns model transport so OpenClaw dynamic tools can resolve their provider credentials. (#83603) Thanks @rubencu.</li>
+<li>Memory/search: scan the JS-side fallback vector path (used when the sqlite-vec index is unavailable or has a mismatched dimension) in bounded rowid batches and yield to the event loop between batches so large chunk tables can no longer pin the Node.js main thread for multi-second windows. Also keeps the SQL prepared statement rooted in a local so node:sqlite cannot finalize it mid-scan under heap pressure. Fixes #81172. Thanks @dev23xyz-oss.</li>
+<li>Memory Wiki: preserve fs-safe diagnostics when bridge source page writes fail for non-symlink filesystem safety reasons, so directory collisions are reported with the underlying error code. (#83776) Thanks @TurboTheTurtle.</li>

+<li>Control UI: render live tool progress from session-scoped <code>session.tool</code> Gateway events so externally started runs show their tool cards in the active session. (#83734) Thanks @TurboTheTurtle.</li>
+<li>Outbound: resolve send-capable channel plugins from the active runtime registry when the pinned startup registry only has setup metadata. (#83733) Thanks @TurboTheTurtle.</li>
+<li>Discord: preserve streamed reply previews when recovered tool-warning finals are delivered before or after the assistant's final reply. (#84169) Thanks @neeravmakwana.</li>
+<li>Control UI: keep the chat delete confirmation popover clamped inside the visible viewport on small screens. (#83804) Thanks @ThiagoCAltoe.</li>
+<li>Browser: enforce current-tab URL allowlist checks for <code>/act</code> evaluate/batch actions and <code>/highlight</code> routes while leaving tab-management actions unblocked. (#78523)</li>

+<li>Models: show the effective OpenAI/Codex auth profile in <code>/models</code> provider headers instead of falling back to the OpenAI env-key label. (#83697) Thanks @yu-xin-c.</li>
+<li>CLI: include active bundled loopback MCP tools in CLI system prompts and reset provider-side CLI sessions when that prompt-visible tool surface changes. (#83785) Thanks @TurboTheTurtle.</li>
+<li>Browser: keep a profile <code>cdpPort</code> when its <code>cdpUrl</code> omits a port, while still letting explicitly written URL ports win. (#82166) Thanks @Marvae.</li>
+<li>Agents/image generation: allow distinct <code>image_generate</code> prompts to start separate session-backed background tasks while same-prompt retries still return the active task status. (#83614) Thanks @Elarwei001.</li>
+<li>Gateway/WebChat: honor configured <code>channels.webchat.textChunkLimit</code> and <code>chunkMode</code> overrides when chunking WebChat replies. (#83713)</li>
+<li>Control UI: stop the chat reading indicator from sticking after an assistant response finishes. (#83515) Thanks @njuboy11.</li>
+<li>Skills: reject empty or whitespace-only skill names and descriptions during quick validation. (#27061)</li>
+<li>Sessions: skip trailing custom transcript entries when checking tail assistant replies so embedded CLI gap-fill does not duplicate canonical assistant output. (#83635) Thanks @yaoyi1222.</li>
+<li>Memory Wiki: keep <code>wiki_lint</code> tool output path-safe by reporting vault-internal lint reports as relative paths in tool text and details while preserving absolute report paths for CLI/file callers. (#83439) Thanks @LLagoon3.</li>
+<li>Telegram: keep verbose tool progress visible without mirroring non-final progress into active session transcripts, preventing embedded provider replies from aborting mid-run. (#83631) Thanks @kurplunkin.</li>
+<li>Telegram: log successful outbound text and media deliveries with account, chat, message, operation, thread, reply, silent, and chunk metadata while keeping message bodies out of logs. Fixes #83196. (#83247) Thanks @jrwrest.</li>

+<li>Codex app-server: complete OpenClaw dynamic tool diagnostics at the request boundary so successful, failed, timed out, aborted, and blocked tool calls do not leave active tool state behind. Fixes #83474. Thanks @rozmiarD.</li>
+<li>Gateway/config: keep config writes from failing on unrelated unresolved auth-profile SecretRefs while preserving live auth-profile runtime snapshots.</li>
+<li>Gateway/sessions: clear stored CLI provider resume bindings on non-subagent <code>/reset</code> so the next turn starts a fresh provider-side CLI conversation instead of resuming old context. (#83448) Thanks @jasonyliu.</li>

+<li>GitHub Copilot: drop unsafe native Responses reasoning replay items with non-replayable IDs before dispatch, preventing affected Copilot sessions from failing with <code>invalid_request_body</code>. Fixes #83220. Thanks @galiniliev.</li>
+<li>Agents/Codex: fail closed when an explicitly requested Codex harness is not registered instead of silently trying configured model fallbacks. Fixes #83349. Thanks @r2-vibes.</li>
+<li>QA-Lab: make runtime tool coverage fail on missing required tool exercise instead of treating pass/pass parity envelope drift as missing coverage.</li>
+<li>Core/plugins: harden clawpatch-reported edge cases across gateway auth cleanup, Claude session id paths, plugin activation policy, apply-patch hunk handling, diagnostic redaction, and plugin metadata validation.</li>
+<li>UI: show reasoning choices as plain labels instead of leaking internal override wording in session and chat pickers.</li>

+<li>Agents/OpenAI streams: yield via <code>setTimeout(0)</code> instead of <code>setImmediate</code> between bursty Responses chunks so abort timers can fire during the yield, keeping cancel-on-timeout responsive on hot streams. Refs #82462.</li>
+<li>Agents/Codex: keep legacy <code>oauthRef</code>-backed OAuth profiles usable while <code>openclaw doctor --fix</code> migrates them back to inline credentials, without creating new sidecar credentials. (#83312) Thanks @joshavant.</li>
+<li>Agents/Codex: load the selected provider owner alongside the Codex harness runtime so <code>openai-codex</code> models resolve when plugin allowlists scope runtime loading. Fixes #83380. (#83519) Thanks @joshavant.</li>
+<li>Telegram: fail stalled isolated-ingress handlers into tombstones and abort same-lane reply work before restarting, so later same-chat updates drain after a hung turn. Fixes #83272. (#83505) Thanks @joshavant.</li>
+<li>CLI/config: send SecretRef diagnostics to stderr so JSON command stdout remains parseable.</li>
+<li>CLI/doctor: seed Control UI allowed origins when migrating legacy non-loopback gateway bind host aliases like <code>0.0.0.0</code>. Fixes #83286. Thanks @giodl73-repo.</li>
+<li>CLI/plugins: ship the bundled memory CLI as a package entry so package-installed <code>openclaw memory</code> commands register correctly.</li>
+<li>CLI/update: defer doctor-time plugin package installs during package swaps and seed post-core repair from the updated install registry, preventing duplicate reinstall failures.</li>
+<li>CLI/update: preserve old-parent-readable config metadata during legacy package handoffs, fall back only to official <code>@openclaw/*</code> npm plugin packages when ClawHub plugin artifacts are unavailable, and keep managed service package roots authoritative during updates.</li>
+<li>Feishu: detect SecretRef top-level credentials as a configured default account instead of treating object-backed app secrets as missing.</li>
+<li>Gateway/restart: keep ordinary unmanaged SIGUSR1/config restarts in-process instead of detach-spawning an orphaned child, preserving custom supervisor PID tracking while leaving update restarts on the fresh-process path. Fixes #65668.</li>
+<li>CLI/completion: resolve concrete PowerShell profile paths and reload commands during setup and doctor completion installation. Fixes #44296. (#83059) Thanks @yu-xin-c.</li>
+<li>Telegram: keep isolated long polling below the hard <code>getUpdates</code> request guard so idle bot accounts with high <code>timeoutSeconds</code> do not false-disconnect and restart-loop. Fixes #83264. Thanks @riccodecarvalho.</li>
+<li>Providers/Google: preserve and recover Gemini 3 tool-call thought signatures during native replay so function-calling turns no longer fail with missing <code>thought_signature</code> 400s. Fixes #72879. (#80358) Thanks @abnershang.</li>
+<li>Telegram: skip transcript-only delivery mirrors and gateway-injected rows when resolving latest assistant text, preventing retained previews from replacing final replies with stale fragments. Fixes #83159. (#83362) Thanks @joshavant.</li>
+<li>Memory/QMD: keep lexical search on raw hyphenated queries while normalizing semantic QMD sub-searches, avoiding fallback to the builtin index for dashed identifiers and dates. Fixes #81328.</li>
+<li>Memory-core: distinguish sqlite-vec load failures from missing semantic vector embeddings in degraded <code>memory index</code> warnings, so vector recall diagnostics point at unresolved dimensions instead of blaming sqlite-vec when the store is ready. Fixes #75624. (#83056) Thanks @xuruiray and @Noah3521.</li>
+<li>Agents/subagents: preserve sandbox-peer controller ownership while routing completion announcements back to the originating run session, keeping subagent control and completion delivery scoped correctly. Fixes #80201. (#80242) Thanks @Jerry-Xin.</li>
+<li>Gateway: continue restarting remaining channels when one hot-reload channel restart fails, while still reporting aggregate reload failure and rolling back plugin pre-replace stops. Fixes #83054. Thanks @zqchris.</li>
+<li>Gateway/plugins: bind admin HTTP RPC dispatch to the accepting gateway instance so multi-gateway processes cannot execute plugin HTTP control-plane calls against another live gateway. Fixes #83486. (#83487) Thanks @coygeek.</li>
+<li>Telegram: keep hot-reload restarts from marking polling accounts manually stopped and restart isolated ingress cleanly after worker shutdown, preserving Telegram replies across config reloads. Fixes #83008. (#83410) Thanks @joshavant.</li>
+<li>Telegram/Ollama: pass current Telegram image attachments into native PI/Ollama vision turns so live photo prompts reach Ollama as native images. Fixes #83023. (#83516) Thanks @joshavant.</li>
+<li>Gateway/secrets: split the lightweight secrets runtime state and auth-store cache from the full secrets runtime and take a startup fast path when the gateway startup config has no SecretRef values, speeding up secrets startup while preserving cleanup and refresh semantics.</li>
+<li>Codex app-server: rotate oversized native Codex threads before resume and cap dynamic tool-result text entering native Codex sessions, preventing stale oversized context from surviving OpenClaw compaction. (#82981) Thanks @hansolo949.</li>
+<li>Gateway/restart: drain pending replies and active chat runs during restart shutdown before sockets and channels close, aborting timed-out chat runs through the normal cleanup path. (#69121) Thanks @alexlomt.</li>
+<li>Agents/Codex: use the Codex runtime context window for OpenAI-model preflight compaction and memory flush checks, so GPT-5.5 Codex sessions compact before hitting the smaller native context limit. Fixes #82982. Thanks @vliuyt.</li>
+<li>QA-Lab: clean orphaned gateway temp roots when a suite parent exits and wait on gateway plus transport readiness after config restarts, reducing stale <code>qa-channel</code> noise from interrupted runs. Fixes #65506. Thanks @100yenadmin.</li>
+<li>QA-Lab: wake qa-bus long polls that arrive with stale future cursors after a bus restart, preserving reconnect readiness for harness clients. (#67142) Thanks @hxy91819.</li>
+<li>QA-Lab: stage Multipass transfer scripts under OpenClaw's preferred temp root instead of raw OS temp paths, keeping the VM runner inside temp-path guardrails. (#64098) Thanks @ImLukeF.</li>
+<li>Agents/replies: keep surviving reply media and append a warning when other media references fail, so partial media normalization no longer drops failures silently. Thanks @Jerry-Xin.</li>
+<li>Config/models: accept <code>thinkingFormat: "together"</code> in model compat config so Together routes can opt into the Together-specific thinking response shape.</li>
+<li>Plugins/tokenjuice: bump the bundled tokenjuice runtime to 0.7.1, bringing Codex hook approval compatibility, pre-tool command wrapping fixes, and Rolldown/Vitest output compaction improvements into the OpenClaw plugin.</li>
+<li>Agents/OpenAI: stop post-processing GPT-5 final replies with hardcoded brevity caps, preserving full channel responses instead of appending synthetic ellipses, and log when strict-agentic GPT-5 execution activates. Fixes #82910.</li>
+<li>Mac app: refine the Settings General and Connection panes with cleaner status panels, card rows, and a single native titlebar sidebar toggle.</li>
+<li>Agents/media: deliver failed async image, music, and video generation completions directly when requester-session completion handoff fails, so channel users see provider errors instead of silent fallback stalls.</li>
+<li>Browser/CDP: keep loopback proxy bypass active across both <code>NO_PROXY</code> casings and redact home-relative Chrome MCP profile paths in attach-failure diagnostics.</li>
+<li>Agents/music: steer song, jingle, beat, anthem, and instrumental requests toward <code>music_generate</code> audio creation instead of lyric-only replies, and reserve <code>lyrics</code> for exact sung words.</li>
+<li>Codex app-server: record native Codex tool calls and results into trajectory artifacts so debug/trajectory exports capture the full Codex-native tool history, not just OpenClaw-bridged turns. Thanks @vyctorbrzezowski.</li>
+<li>Codex/app-server: keep bound conversation sessions on the owning agent runtime so native Codex control and follow-up turns do not fall back to the default agent client. Fixes #82954. (#82993)</li>
+<li>CLI/infer: run gateway model probes in fresh explicit sessions so one-shot provider checks do not inherit default agent transcript state. (#82861) Thanks @Kaspre.</li>
+<li>Providers/Together: send video-generation requests to Together's v2 video API even when shared text-model config still points at the v1 base URL. (#82992)</li>
+<li>Browser CLI: preserve browser-level options on nested commands, skip option values during lazy command registration, and keep long-running wait/download/dialog hooks open for their advertised wait window.</li>
+<li>CLI/sessions: accept <code>openclaw sessions list</code> as an alias for <code>openclaw sessions</code>, matching other list-style commands. Fixes #81139. (#81163) Thanks @YB0y.</li>
+<li>Channels/stream previews: widen compact progress draft lines and cut prose at word boundaries while preserving command/path suffixes, with <code>streaming.progress.maxLineChars</code> for channel-specific tuning.</li>
+<li>CLI/plugins: have <code>openclaw plugins doctor</code> warn when a configured runtime needs a missing owner plugin, sharing the same install mapping as <code>openclaw doctor --fix</code>. Fixes #81326. (#81674) Thanks @Zavianx.</li>
+<li>Agents/Codex: route OpenAI runs that resolve to <code>openai-codex</code> through the Codex provider and bootstrap OpenClaw's stored OAuth profile into the Codex harness when the harness owns transport, so <code>openai/*</code> model refs no longer fail with <code>No API key found for openai-codex</code> despite an existing Codex OAuth profile. (#82864) Thanks @ragesaq.</li>
+<li>Agents/ACP: distinguish prompt-submitted and runtime-active child stalls from true interactive waits, including redacted proxy-env diagnostics for Codex ACP no-output runs. Fixes #44810.</li>
+<li>Agents/memory: explain that memory-triggered compaction exposes only <code>read</code> and append-only <code>write</code> when configured core tools are unavailable in <code>tools.allow</code> warnings. Fixes #82941. Thanks @galiniliev.</li>
+<li>Agents/OpenAI: preserve deterministic tool payload ordering for prompt-cache reuse across OpenAI Responses and chat completions calls. (#82940) Thanks @galiniliev.</li>
+<li>ACP/Codex: honor terminal ACP turn results so failed Codex/acpx runs are not recorded as successful after only progress text. Fixes #79522. Thanks @dudaefj.</li>
+<li>Telegram: warn when a media group drops photos that fail to download, including albums where every photo is skipped. Fixes #55216. (#82987) Thanks @eldar702.</li>
+<li>Agents/diagnostics: treat repeated same-handle embedded-run cleanup as idempotent while preserving true replacement-handle mismatch diagnostics. Fixes #82959. (#82960) Thanks @galiniliev.</li>
+<li>Agents/subagents: preserve high-priority <code>AGENTS.md</code> policy in bootstrap context when oversized files are trimmed, and warn agents to read the full policy file before relying on scoped rules. Fixes #82920. (#82921) Thanks @galiniliev.</li>
+<li>Agents/skills: apply the full effective tool policy pipeline to inline <code>command-dispatch: tool</code> skill dispatch before owner-only filtering, preserving configured allow, deny, sandbox, sender, group, and subagent restrictions. (#78525)</li>
+<li>Codex: avoid spawning native hook relay subprocesses for post-tool/finalize events with no registered hook handlers while preserving pre-tool safety and approval relays. Fixes #76552. (#78004) Thanks @evgyur.</li>
+<li>Channel accounts: keep top-level default channel accounts visible when named accounts are added alongside default credential material, so mixed legacy/new account configs keep resolving <code>default</code> instead of silently dropping it.</li>
+<li>Agents/CLI: reject empty successful CLI subprocess replies as <code>empty_response</code> and keep them out of shared auth-profile health, so blank Claude CLI results no longer become green no-payload turns. Fixes #83231. (#83421) Thanks @joshavant.</li>
+<li>Codex/Telegram: synthesize native Codex tool progress from final turn snapshots so Telegram <code>/verbose</code> stays visible when command events arrive only at completion.</li>
+<li>Codex/Telegram: deliver Codex verbose tool summaries in direct message-tool-only turns while suppressing message-send and activity-log noise. (#83186) Thanks @kurplunkin.</li>
+<li>Mac app: make Channels settings open faster by deferring config-schema work, avoiding startup channel probes, caching decoded channel status rows, and showing only compact quick settings instead of the full generated channel schema.</li>
+<li>Control UI: include the Control UI and Gateway protocol versions in protocol-mismatch errors so stale app/dashboard pairings identify which side needs rebuilding or restarting.</li>
+<li>Gateway/protocol: restore Gateway WS protocol v4 and keep <code>message.action</code> room-event metadata on the existing <code>inboundTurnKind</code> wire field while preserving internal inbound-event classification.</li>
+<li>Agents/tools: prefer non-webchat session-key routes when the message tool has stale webchat context, so message-tool-only replies keep delivering to the originating channel. Fixes #82911. (#83004) Thanks @joshavant.</li>
+<li>Channels: keep direct-message last-route writes on isolated <code>per-channel-peer</code> sessions instead of contaminating the agent main session with channel delivery context. Fixes #36614. Thanks @aspenas.</li>
+<li>Mac app: move the Settings sidebar toggle into the native titlebar and tighten the General pane width.</li>
+<li>Mac app: keep visited Settings panes mounted so switching tabs no longer blanks and reloads their content.</li>
+<li>Mac app: make Config settings open from shallow schema lookups and load selected paths on demand instead of fetching and rendering the full generated config schema up front.</li>
+<li>Codex: sanitize inline image payloads before Codex app-server and OpenAI Responses replay, and clear poisoned Codex thread bindings after invalid image errors. Fixes #82878.</li>
+<li>Providers/GitHub Copilot: request identity-encoded Copilot API responses across token exchange, catalog, model calls, usage, and embeddings so compressed Business-account error payloads no longer reach JSON parsers as gzip bytes. Fixes #82871. Thanks @tonyfe01.</li>
+<li>Telegram: redact nested raw-update identifiers and user metadata before verbose raw update logging, preserving useful update/message ids without exposing chat, user, command, or profile details. (#82945) Thanks @galiniliev and @joshavant.</li>
+<li>Telegram: preserve replied-to bot messages, captions, and media metadata in group reply chains so follow-up replies understand what the user is reacting to. (#82863)</li>
+<li>Providers/Together: update PI runtime packages to 0.74.1 and emit Together-style <code>reasoning.enabled</code>/<code>max_tokens</code> controls for reasoning-capable OpenAI-completions models.</li>
+<li>Agents/diagnostics: split slow embedded-run <code>attempt-dispatch</code> startup summaries into workspace, prompt, runtime-plan, and final dispatch subspans so traces identify the delayed setup phase. Fixes #82782. (#82783) Thanks @galiniliev.</li>
+<li>Agents/Codex: flatten nested tool-result middleware blocks into bounded text so successful message sends are no longer replaced with <code>Tool output unavailable due to post-processing error</code>. Fixes #82912. Thanks @joeykrug.</li>
+<li>CLI/media: accept HTTP(S) URLs in <code>openclaw infer image describe --file</code>, fetching remote images through the guarded media path instead of treating URLs as local files. Fixes #82837. (#82854) Thanks @neeravmakwana.</li>
+<li>Agents/subagents: keep session-backed parent runs active when the child wait call times out before the child session has actually settled, so late subagent completions are reconciled instead of being lost. Fixes #82787. Thanks @ramitrkar-hash.</li>
+<li>Control UI: advertise shared Gateway protocol constants in browser connect frames, fixing protocol mismatch handshakes after protocol constant drift. Fixes #82882. Thanks @galiniliev.</li>
+<li>Gateway: add rollback protocol-mismatch diagnostics, including client protocol ranges in Gateway logs and deep status/doctor hints for stale client processes. Fixes #82841. (#82908)</li>
+<li>Agents/subagents: keep successful keep-mode completion payloads pending after final-delivery retry exhaustion, so requester recovery no longer loses final subagent results. Fixes #82583. (#82999) Thanks @joshavant.</li>
+<li>Gateway/auth: allow same-host trusted-proxy callers to use the documented local direct <code>gateway.auth.password</code> fallback after revisiting the #78684 fail-closed policy, while keeping token fallback rejected and forwarded-header requests on the trusted-proxy path. Fixes #82607. (#82953) Thanks @joshavant.</li>
+<li>Agents/subagents: wait for queued completion handoffs to reach the parent transcript before marking them announced, preventing busy parent runs from cleaning up before observing child results. Fixes #82913. (#83039) Thanks @joshavant.</li>
+<li>Agents/subagents: route group/channel subagent completions through message-tool-only handoffs when required and keep active-requester wake failures from dropping completion delivery. Fixes #82803. Thanks @galiniliev, @yozakura-ava, and @moeedahmed.</li>
+<li>Memory-core: scan persisted memory source sessions on startup, comparing on-disk transcripts against the index and marking only missing/newer/resized files dirty for incremental sync. Fixes #82341. (#82341) Thanks @giodl73-repo.</li>
+<li>Telegram: keep the top-level default account in the account list when named accounts or bindings are added alongside top-level credentials, preserving default polling while still letting named-only configs resolve to a single account. Fixes #82794. (#82794) Thanks @giodl73-repo.</li>
+<li>CLI/models: reuse command-scoped plugin metadata across model listing, provider catalog, auth, and synthetic-auth checks, restoring fast <code>openclaw models</code> runs for plugin-heavy installs. Fixes #82881. (#83033) Thanks @joshavant.</li>
+<li>CLI/channels: show configured official external channels such as Discord in <code>openclaw channels list</code> when their plugin package is missing, including the install and doctor repair command instead of reporting no configured channels. Fixes #82813.</li>
+<li>Signal: preserve mixed-case group IDs through routing and session persistence so group auto-replies keep delivering after updates. Fixes #82827.</li>
+<li>Agents/tools: keep the <code>message</code> tool available in embedded runs when it is explicitly allowed through <code>tools.alsoAllow</code> or runtime tool allowlists, so channel plugins with custom reply delivery can still use configured message sends. Fixes #82833. Thanks @cn1313113.</li>
+<li>WhatsApp: honor forced document delivery for outbound image, GIF, and video media so <code>forceDocument</code>/<code>asDocument</code> sends preserve original media bytes instead of using compressed media payloads. (#79272) Thanks @itsuzef.</li>
+<li>WhatsApp: name outbound document attachments from their MIME type when no filename is provided, so PDF and CSV sends arrive as <code>file.pdf</code> and <code>file.csv</code> instead of an extensionless <code>file</code>. Thanks @mcaxtr.</li>
+<li>Process/diagnostics: report active lane blockers in lane wait warnings so <code>queueAhead=0</code> no longer hides commands waiting behind active work. Fixes #82791. (#82792) Thanks @galiniliev.</li>
+<li>Process/diagnostics: stop counting the active processing turn as queued backlog in liveness warnings so transient max-only event-loop spikes do not surface as gateway warnings.</li>
+<li>Agents/replies: classify provider conversation-state rejections and return a clear message-channel error instead of auto-resetting or falling back to a generic runner failure. (#82616) Thanks @dutifulbob.</li>
+<li>Browser plugin: trust managed Chrome CDP diagnostics when launch HTTP probes race cold-start readiness, avoiding false startup failures. Fixes #82904. (#82986) Thanks @kmanan and @hclsys.</li>
+<li>Android: prompt before replacing a changed Gateway TLS thumbprint, showing the old and new SHA-256 fingerprints so users can accept expected certificate rotations instead of hard failing on pin mismatch. (#83077) Thanks @sliekens.</li>
+<li>CLI/status: render extra gateway-like service diagnostics as warning/info output instead of error output. Fixes #46930. (#82922) thanks @giodl73-repo.</li>
+<li>Agents/failover: classify Moonshot/Kimi exhausted-balance HTTP 429 payloads as billing instead of generic rate limits, preserving billing guidance and fallback behavior. Fixes #43447. (#83079) Thanks @leno23.</li>
+<li>Plugin SDK: bundle <code>openclaw/plugin-sdk/zod</code> into the published package artifact and verify the packed zod subpath stays self-contained, so pnpm global installs can register plugins without a package-local <code>zod</code> symlink. Fixes #78398. (#78515) Thanks @ggzeng.</li>
+<li>Providers/Google: drop compaction-truncated Gemini thought signatures before replay so malformed Base64 no longer aborts the next assistant turn. (#82995) Thanks @wAngByg.</li>
+<li>Gateway/mobile: allow paired iOS and Android clients to refresh same-family OS metadata on authenticated reconnect instead of requiring a new approval. (#83490) Thanks @ngutman.</li>
+<li>WhatsApp: treat <code>upload-file</code> as a supported media send intent by lowering path/URL uploads through the channel's normal send-media transport. (#81883) Thanks @ngutman.</li>
+<li>iOS: end Live Activities when OpenClaw is connected, idle, or disconnected, and show compact attention states for approval-required reconnects. (#83597) Thanks @ngutman.</li>
+<li>Control UI: hide child nav items when collapsing the active sidebar group. Fixes #42167. (#42223) Thanks @Aroool.</li>
+<li>CI/proof: skip the real-behavior-proof gate for private org maintainers by minting a least-privilege (<code>members: read</code>) GitHub App token and checking active membership in the <code>maintainer</code> team, instead of treating <code>author_association=CONTRIBUTOR</code> as definitively external. (#83418) Thanks @romneyda.</li>
