+### Changes
+
+- Skills: refine skill-description routing boundaries with explicit "Use when"/"NOT for" guidance for coding-agent/github/weather, and clarify PTY/browser fallback wording. (#14577) Thanks @DylanWoodAkers.
+- Agents/Subagents: add an accepted response note for `sessions_spawn` explaining polling subagents are disabled for one-off calls. Thanks @tyler6204.
+- Agents/Subagents: prefix spawned subagent task messages with context to preserve source information in downstream handling. Thanks @tyler6204.
+- iMessage: support `replyToId` on outbound text/media sends and normalize leading `[[reply_to:<id>]]` tags so replies target the intended iMessage. Thanks @tyler6204.
+- UI/Sessions: avoid duplicating typed session prefixes in display names (for example `Subagent Subagent ...`). Thanks @tyler6204.
+- Auto-reply/Prompts: include trusted inbound `message_id` in conversation metadata payloads for downstream targeting workflows. Thanks @tyler6204.
+- iOS/Talk: add a `Background Listening` toggle that keeps Talk Mode active while the app is backgrounded (off by default for battery safety). Thanks @zeulewan.
+- iOS/Talk: harden barge-in behavior by disabling interrupt-on-speech when output route is built-in speaker/receiver, reducing false interruptions from local TTS bleed-through. Thanks @zeulewan.
+- iOS/Talk: add a `Voice Directive Hint` toggle for Talk Mode prompts so users can disable ElevenLabs voice-switching instructions to save tokens when not needed. (#18250) Thanks @zeulewan.
+- iOS/Share: add an iOS share extension that forwards shared URL/text/image content directly to gateway `agent.request`, with delivery-route fallback and optional receipt acknowledgements. (#19424) Thanks @mbelinky.
+- Telegram/Agents: add inline button `style` support (`primary|success|danger`) across message tool schema, Telegram action parsing, send pipeline, and runtime prompt guidance. (#18241) Thanks @obviyus.
+- Telegram: surface user message reactions as system events, with configurable `channels.telegram.reactionNotifications` scope. (#10075) Thanks @Glucksberg.
+- Slack: add configurable streaming modes for draft previews. (#18555) Thanks @Solvely-Colin.
+- Slack: add native single-message text streaming with Slack `chat.startStream`/`appendStream`/`stopStream`; keep reply threading aligned with `replyToMode`, default streaming to enabled, and fall back to normal delivery when streaming fails. (#9972) Thanks @natedenh.
+- Slack: add external-select flow for large argument menus. (#18496) Thanks @Solvely-Colin.
+- Discord: expose native `/exec` command options (host/security/ask/node) so Discord slash commands get autocomplete and structured inputs. Thanks @thewilloftheshadow.
+- Discord: allow reusable interactive components with `components.reusable=true` so buttons, selects, and forms can be used multiple times before expiring. Thanks @thewilloftheshadow.
+- Cron/Gateway: separate per-job webhook delivery (`delivery.mode = "webhook"`) from announce delivery, enforce valid HTTP(S) webhook URLs, and keep a temporary legacy `notify + cron.webhook` fallback for stored jobs. (#17901) Thanks @advaitpaliwal.
+- Cron/CLI: add deterministic default stagger for recurring top-of-hour cron schedules (including 6-field seconds cron), auto-migrate existing jobs to persisted `schedule.staggerMs`, and add `openclaw cron add/edit --stagger <duration>` plus `--exact` overrides for per-job timing control.
+- Discord: add per-button `allowedUsers` allowlist for interactive components to restrict who can click buttons. Thanks @thewilloftheshadow.
+- Mattermost: add emoji reaction actions plus reaction event notifications, including an explicit boolean `remove` flag to avoid accidental removals. (#18608) Thanks @echo931.
+- Commands/Subagents: add `/subagents spawn` for deterministic subagent activation from chat commands. (#18218) Thanks @JoshuaLelon.
+- Tools/Web: add URL allowlists for `web_search` and `web_fetch`. (#18584) Thanks @smartprogrammer93.
+- Browser: add `extraArgs` config for custom Chrome launch arguments. (#18443) Thanks @JayMishra-source.
+- Voice Call: pre-cache inbound greeting TTS for faster first playback. (#18447) Thanks @JayMishra-source.
+- Tool Display/Web UI: add intent-first tool detail views and exec summaries. (#18592) Thanks @xdLawless2.
+- Extensions/Auth: add OpenAI Codex CLI auth provider integration. (#18009) Thanks @jiteshdhamaniya.
+- Auto-reply: include `sender_id` in trusted inbound metadata so moderation workflows can target the sender without relying on untrusted text. (#18303) Thanks @crimeacs.
+- Agents/Z.AI: enable `tool_stream` by default for real-time tool call streaming, with opt-out via `params.tool_stream: false`. (#18173) Thanks @tianxiao1430-jpg.
+- Plugins: add `before_agent_start` model/provider overrides before resolution. (#18568) Thanks @natefikru.
+- Memory/Search: add FTS fallback plus query expansion for memory search. (#18304) Thanks @irchelper.
+- Agents/Models: support per-model `thinkingDefault` overrides in model config. (#18152) Thanks @wu-tian807.
+- Agents/Models: support Anthropic Sonnet 4.6 (`anthropic/claude-sonnet-4-6`) across aliases/defaults with forward-compat fallback when upstream catalogs still only expose Sonnet 4.5.
+- Agents: enable `llms.txt` discovery in default behavior. (#18158) Thanks @yolo-maxi.
+- Feishu: add Bitable create-app/create-field tools for automation workflows. (#17963) Thanks @gaowanqi08141999.
+- Cron/Gateway: separate per-job webhook delivery (`delivery.mode = "webhook"`) from announce delivery, enforce valid HTTP(S) webhook URLs, and keep a temporary legacy `notify + cron.webhook` fallback for stored jobs. (#17901) Thanks @advaitpaliwal.
+- Cron: log per-run model/provider usage telemetry in cron run logs/webhooks and add a local usage report script for aggregating token usage by job. (#18172) Thanks @HankAndTheCrew.
+- Docker: add optional `OPENCLAW_INSTALL_BROWSER` build arg to preinstall Chromium + Xvfb in the Docker image, avoiding runtime Playwright installs. (#18449)
+
+### Fixes
+
+- Agents/Subagents: preemptively guard accumulated tool-result context before model calls by truncating oversized outputs and compacting oldest tool-result messages to avoid context-window overflow crashes. Thanks @tyler6204.
+- Agents/Subagents: add explicit subagent guidance to recover from `[compacted: tool output removed to free context]` / `[truncated: output exceeded context limit]` markers by re-reading with smaller chunks instead of full-file `cat`. Thanks @tyler6204.
+- Agents/Tools: make `read` auto-page across chunks (when no explicit `limit` is provided) and scale its per-call output budget from model `contextWindow`, so larger contexts can read more before context guards kick in. Thanks @tyler6204.
+- Agents/Tools: strip duplicated `read` truncation payloads from tool-result `details` and make pre-call context guarding account for heavy tool-result metadata, so repeated `read` calls no longer bypass compaction and overflow model context windows. Thanks @tyler6204.
+- Reply threading: keep reply context sticky across streamed/split chunks and preserve `replyToId` on all chunk sends across shared and channel-specific delivery paths (including iMessage, BlueBubbles, Telegram, Discord, and Matrix), so follow-up bubbles stay attached to the same referenced message. Thanks @tyler6204.
+- Gateway/Agent: defer transient lifecycle `error` snapshots with a short grace window so `agent.wait` does not resolve early during retry/failover. Thanks @tyler6204.
+- Hooks/Automation: bridge outbound/inbound message lifecycle into internal hook events (`message:received`, `message:sent`) with session-key correlation guards, while keeping per-payload success/error reporting accurate for chunked and best-effort deliveries. (PR #9387)
+- Media understanding: honor `agents.defaults.imageModel` during auto-discovery so implicit image analysis uses configured primary/fallback image models. (PR #7607)
+- iOS/Onboarding: stop auth Step 3 retry-loop churn by pausing reconnect attempts on unauthorized/missing-token gateway errors and keeping auth/pairing issue state sticky during manual retry. (#19153) Thanks @mbelinky.
+- Voice-call: auto-end calls when media streams disconnect to prevent stuck active calls. (#18435) Thanks @JayMishra-source.
+- Voice call/Gateway: prevent overlapping closed-loop turn races with per-call turn locking, route transcript dedupe via source-aware fingerprints with strict cache eviction bounds, and harden `voicecall latency` stats for large logs without spread-operator stack overflow. (#19140) Thanks @mbelinky.
+- iOS/Chat: route ChatSheet RPCs through the operator session instead of the node session to avoid node-role authorization failures for `chat.history`, `chat.send`, and `sessions.list`. (#19320) Thanks @mbelinky.
+- macOS/Update: correct the Sparkle appcast version for 2026.2.15 so updates are offered again. (#18201)
+- Gateway/Auth: clear stale device-auth tokens after device token mismatch errors so re-paired clients can re-auth. (#18201)

+- Gateway/Channels: wire `gateway.channelHealthCheckMinutes` into strict config validation, treat implicit account status as managed for health checks, and harden channel auto-restart flow (preserve restart-attempt caps across crash loops, propagate enabled/configured runtime flags, and stop pending restart backoff after manual stop). Thanks @steipete.
+- Gateway/WebChat: hard-cap `chat.history` oversized payloads by truncating high-cost fields and replacing over-budget entries with placeholders, so history fetches stay within configured byte limits and avoid chat UI freezes. (#18505)
+- UI/Usage: replace lingering undefined `var(--text-muted)` usage with `var(--muted)` in usage date-range and chart styles to keep muted text visible across themes. (#17975) Thanks @jogelin.
+- UI/Usage: preserve selected-range totals when timeline data is downsampled by bucket-aggregating timeseries points (instead of dropping intermediate points), so filtered tokens/cost stay accurate. (#17959) Thanks @jogelin.
+- UI/Sessions: refresh the sessions table only after successful deletes and preserve delete errors on cancel/failure paths, so deleted sessions disappear automatically without masking delete failures. (#18507)
+- Scripts/UI/Windows: fix `pnpm ui:*` spawn `EINVAL` failures by restoring shell-backed launch for `.cmd`/`.bat` runners, narrowing shell usage to launcher types that require it, and rejecting unsafe forwarded shell metacharacters in UI script args. (#18594)

+- Feishu: detect bot mentions in post messages with embedded docs when `message.mentions` is empty. (#18074) Thanks @popomore.
+- Agents/Sessions: align session lock watchdog hold windows with run and compaction timeout budgets (plus grace), preventing valid long-running turns from being force-unlocked mid-run while still recovering hung lock owners. (#18060)
+- Cron: preserve default model fallbacks for cron agent runs when only `model.primary` is overridden, so failover still follows configured fallbacks unless explicitly cleared with `fallbacks: []`. (#18210) Thanks @mahsumaktas.
+- Cron: route text-only announce output through the main session announce flow via runSubagentAnnounceFlow so cron text-only output remains visible to the initiating session. Thanks @tyler6204.
+- Cron: treat `timeoutSeconds: 0` as no-timeout (not clamped to 1), ensuring long-running cron runs are not prematurely terminated. Thanks @tyler6204.
+- Cron announce injection now targets the session determined by delivery config (`to` + channel) instead of defaulting to the current session. Thanks @tyler6204.
+- Cron/Heartbeat: canonicalize session-scoped reminder `sessionKey` routing and preserve explicit flat `sessionKey` cron tool inputs, preventing enqueue/wake namespace drift for session-targeted reminders. (#18637) Thanks @vignesh07.

+- iOS/Signing: auto-select local Apple Development team during iOS project generation/build, prefer the canonical OpenClaw team when available, and support local per-machine signing overrides without committing team IDs. (#18421) Thanks @ngutman.
+- Discord/Telegram: make per-account message action gates effective for both action listing and execution, and preserve top-level gate restrictions when account overrides only specify a subset of `actions` keys (account key -> base key -> default fallback). (#18494)
+- Telegram: keep DM-topic replies and draft previews in the originating private-chat topic by preserving positive `message_thread_id` values for DM threads. (#18586) Thanks @sebslight.
+- Telegram: preserve private-chat topic `message_thread_id` on outbound sends (message/sticker/poll), keep thread-not-found retry fallback, and avoid masking `chat not found` routing errors. (#18993) Thanks @obviyus.
+- Discord: prevent duplicate media delivery when the model uses the `message send` tool with media, by skipping media extraction from messaging tool results since the tool already sent the message directly. (#18270)
+- Discord: route `audioAsVoice` auto-replies through the voice message API so opt-in audio renders as voice messages. (#18041) Thanks @zerone0x.
+- Discord: skip auto-thread creation in forum/media/voice/stage channels and keep group session last-route metadata fresh to avoid invalid thread API errors and lost follow-up sends. (#18098) Thanks @Clawborn.
+- Discord/Commands: normalize `commands.allowFrom` entries with `user:`/`discord:`/`pk:` prefixes and `<@id>` mentions so command authorization matches Discord allowlist behavior. (#18042)
+- Telegram: keep draft-stream preview replies attached to the user message for `replyToMode: "all"` in groups and DMs, preserving threaded reply context from preview through finalization. (#17880) Thanks @yinghaosang.
+- Telegram: prevent streaming final replies from being overwritten by later final/error payloads, and suppress fallback tool-error warnings when a recovered assistant answer already exists after tool calls. (#17883) Thanks @Marvae and @obviyus.
+- Telegram: debounce the first draft-stream preview update (30-char threshold) and finalize short responses by editing the stop-time preview message, improving first push notifications and avoiding duplicate final sends. (#18148) Thanks @Marvae.
+- Telegram: disable block streaming when `channels.telegram.streamMode` is `off`, preventing newline/content-block replies from splitting into multiple messages. (#17679) Thanks @saivarunk.
+- Telegram: keep `streamMode: "partial"` draft previews in a single message across assistant-message/reasoning boundaries, preventing duplicate preview bubbles during partial-mode tool-call turns. (#18956) Thanks @obviyus.
+- Telegram: normalize native command names for Telegram menu registration (`-` -> `_`) to avoid `BOT_COMMAND_INVALID` command-menu wipeouts, and log failed command syncs instead of silently swallowing them. (#19257) Thanks @akramcodez.
+- Telegram: route non-abort slash commands on the normal chat/topic sequential lane while keeping true abort requests (`/stop`, `stop`) on the control lane, preventing command/reply race conditions from control-lane bypass. (#17899) Thanks @obviyus.
+- Telegram: ignore `<media:...>` placeholder lines when extracting `MEDIA:` tool-result paths, preventing false local-file reads and dropped replies. (#18510) Thanks @yinghaosang.
+- Telegram: skip retries when inbound media `getFile` fails with Telegram's 20MB limit and continue processing message text, avoiding dropped messages for oversized attachments. (#18531) Thanks @brandonwise.
+- Telegram: clear stored polling offsets when bot tokens change or accounts are deleted, preventing stale offsets after token rotations. (#18233)
+- Telegram: enable `autoSelectFamily` by default on Node.js 22+ so IPv4 fallback works on broken IPv6 networks. (#18272) Thanks @nacho9900.
+- Auto-reply/TTS: keep tool-result media delivery enabled in group chats and native command sessions (while still suppressing tool summary text) so `NO_REPLY` follow-ups do not drop successful TTS audio. (#17991) Thanks @zerone0x.
+- Agents/Tools: deliver tool-result media even when verbose tool output is off so media attachments are not dropped. (#16679)
+- Discord: optimize reaction notification handling to skip unnecessary message fetches in `off`/`all`/`allowlist` modes, streamline reaction routing, and improve reaction emoji formatting. (#18248) Thanks @thewilloftheshadow and @victorGPT.
+- CLI/Pairing: make `openclaw qr --remote` prefer `gateway.remote.url` over tailscale/public URL resolution and register the `openclaw clawbot qr` legacy alias path. (#18091)
+- CLI/QR: restore fail-fast validation for `openclaw qr --remote` when neither `gateway.remote.url` nor tailscale `serve`/`funnel` is configured, preventing unusable remote pairing QR flows. (#18166) Thanks @mbelinky.
+- CLI/Doctor: ensure `openclaw doctor --fix --non-interactive --yes` exits promptly after completion so one-shot automation no longer hangs. (#18502)
+- CLI/Doctor: auto-repair `dmPolicy="open"` configs missing wildcard allowlists and write channel-correct repair paths (including `channels.googlechat.dm.allowFrom`) so `openclaw doctor --fix` no longer leaves Google Chat configs invalid after attempted repair. (#18544)
+- CLI/Doctor: detect gateway service token drift when the gateway token is only provided via environment variables, keeping service repairs aligned after token rotation.
+- Gateway/Update: prevent restart crash loops after failed self-updates by restarting only on successful updates, stopping early on failed install/build steps, and running `openclaw doctor --fix` during updates to sanitize config. (#18131) Thanks @RamiNoodle733.
+- Gateway/Update: preserve update.run restart delivery context so post-update status replies route back to the initiating channel/thread. (#18267) Thanks @yinghaosang.
+- CLI/Update: run a standalone restart helper after updates, honoring service-name overrides and reporting restart initiation separately from confirmed restarts. (#18050)
+- CLI/Daemon: warn when a gateway restart sees a stale service token so users can reinstall with `openclaw gateway install --force`, and skip drift warnings for non-gateway service restarts. (#18018)
+- CLI/Daemon: prefer the active version-manager Node when installing daemons and include macOS version-manager bin directories in the service PATH so launchd services resolve user-managed runtimes.
+- CLI/Status: fix `openclaw status --all` token summaries for bot-token-only channels so Mattermost/Zalo no longer show a bot+app warning. (#18527) Thanks @echo931.
+- CLI/Configure: make the `/model picker` allowlist prompt searchable with tokenized matching in `openclaw configure` so users can filter huge model lists by typing terms like `gpt-5.2 openai/`. (#19010) Thanks @bjesuiter.
+- CLI/Message: preserve `--components` JSON payloads in `openclaw message send` so Discord component payloads are no longer dropped. (#18222) Thanks @saurabhchopade.
+- Voice Call: add an optional stale call reaper (`staleCallReaperSeconds`) to end stuck calls when enabled. (#18437)
+- Auto-reply/Subagents: propagate group context (`groupId`, `groupChannel`, `space`) when spawning via `/subagents spawn`, matching tool-triggered subagent spawn behavior.
+- Subagents: route nested announce results back to the parent session after the parent run ends, falling back only when the parent session is deleted. (#18043) Thanks @tyler6204.
+- Subagents: cap announce retry loops with max attempts and expiry to prevent infinite retry spam after deferred announces. (#18444)
+- Agents/Tools/exec: add a preflight guard that detects likely shell env var injection (e.g. `$DM_JSON`, `$TMPDIR`) in Python/Node scripts before execution, preventing recurring cron failures and wasted tokens when models emit mixed shell+language source. (#12836)
+- Agents/Tools/exec: treat normal non-zero exit codes as completed and append the exit code to tool output to avoid false tool-failure warnings. (#18425)
+- Agents/Tools: make loop detection progress-aware and phased by hard-blocking known `process(action=poll|log)` no-progress loops, warning on generic identical-call repeats, warning + no-progress-blocking ping-pong alternation loops (10/20), coalescing repeated warning spam into threshold buckets (including canonical ping-pong pairs), adding a global circuit breaker at 30 no-progress repeats, and emitting structured diagnostic `tool.loop` warning/error events for loop actions. (#16808) Thanks @akramcodez and @beca-oc.
+- Agents/Hooks: preserve the `before_tool_call` wrapped-marker across abort-signal tool wrapping so the hook runs once per tool call in normal agent sessions. (#16852) Thanks @sreuter.
+- Agents/Tests: add `before_message_write` persistence regression coverage for block/mutate behavior (including synthetic tool-result flushes) and thrown-hook fallback persistence. (#18197) Thanks @shakkernerd
+- Agents/Tools: scope the `message` tool schema to the active channel so Telegram uses `buttons` and Discord uses `components`. (#18215) Thanks @obviyus.
+- Agents/Image tool: replace Anthropic-incompatible union schema with explicit `image` (single) and `images` (multi) parameters, keeping tool schemas `anyOf`/`oneOf`/`allOf`-free while preserving multi-image analysis support. (#18551, #18566) Thanks @aldoeliacim.
+- Agents/Models: probe the primary model when its auth-profile cooldown is near expiry (with per-provider throttling), so runs recover from temporary rate limits without staying on fallback models until restart. (#17478) Thanks @PlayerGhost.
+- Agents/Failover: classify provider abort stop-reason errors (`Unhandled stop reason: abort`, `stop reason: abort`, `reason: abort`) as timeout-class failures so configured model fallback chains trigger instead of surfacing raw abort failures. (#18618) Thanks @sauerdaniel.
+- Models/CLI: sync auth-profiles credentials into agent `auth.json` before registry availability checks so `openclaw models list --all` reports auth correctly for API-key/token providers, normalize provider-id aliases when bridging credentials, and skip expired token mirrors. (#18610, #18615)
+- Agents/Context: raise default total bootstrap prompt cap from `24000` to `150000` chars (keeping `bootstrapMaxChars` at `20000`), include total-cap visibility in `/context`, and mark truncation from injected-vs-raw sizes so total-cap clipping is reflected accurately.
+- Memory/QMD: scope managed collection names per agent and precreate glob-backed collection directories before registration, preventing cross-agent collection clobbering and startup ENOENT failures in fresh workspaces. (#17194) Thanks @jonathanadams96.
+- Cron: preserve per-job schedule-error isolation in post-run maintenance recompute so malformed sibling jobs no longer abort persistence of successful runs. (#17852) Thanks @pierreeurope.
+- Gateway/Config: prevent `config.patch` object-array merges from falling back to full-array replacement when some patch entries lack `id`, so partial `agents.list` updates no longer drop unrelated agents. (#17989) Thanks @stakeswky.
+- Gateway/Auth: trim whitespace around trusted proxy entries before matching so configured proxies with stray spaces still authorize. (#18084) Thanks @Clawborn.
+- Config/Discord: require string IDs in Discord allowlists, keep onboarding inputs string-only, and add doctor repair for numeric entries. (#18220) Thanks @thewilloftheshadow.
+- Security/Sessions: create new session transcript JSONL files with user-only (`0o600`) permissions and extend `openclaw security audit --fix` to remediate existing transcript file permissions.
+- Sessions/Maintenance: archive transcripts when pruning stale sessions, clean expired media in subdirectories, and purge `.deleted` transcript archives after the prune window to prevent disk leaks. (#18538)
+- Infra/Fetch: ensure foreign abort-signal listener cleanup never masks original fetch successes/failures, while still preventing detached-finally unhandled rejection noise in `wrapFetchWithAbortSignal`. Thanks @Jackten.
+- Heartbeat: allow suppressing tool error warning payloads during heartbeat runs via a new heartbeat config flag. (#18497) Thanks @thewilloftheshadow.
+- Heartbeat: include sender metadata (From/To/Provider) in heartbeat prompts so model context matches the delivery target. (#18532) Thanks @dinakars777.
+- Heartbeat/Telegram: strip configured `responsePrefix` before heartbeat ack detection (with boundary-safe matching) so prefixed `HEARTBEAT_OK` replies are correctly suppressed instead of leaking into DMs. (#18602)

 - Auto-reply/Compaction: resolve `memory/YYYY-MM-DD.md` placeholders with timezone-aware runtime dates and append a `Current time:` line to memory-flush turns, preventing wrong-year memory filenames without making the system prompt time-variant. (#17603, #17633) Thanks @nicholaspapadam-wq and @vignesh07.
+- Auth/Cooldowns: auto-expire stale auth profile cooldowns when `cooldownUntil` or `disabledUntil` timestamps have passed, and reset `errorCount` so the next transient failure does not immediately escalate to a disproportionately long cooldown. Handles `cooldownUntil` and `disabledUntil` independently. (#3604) Thanks @nabbilkhan.
 - Agents: return an explicit timeout error reply when an embedded run times out before producing any payloads, preventing silent dropped turns during slow cache-refresh transitions. (#16659) Thanks @liaosvcaf and @vignesh07.

Prevents the model from losing awareness of which group it's in and incorrectly using the message tool to send to the same group. (#14447) Thanks @tyler6204.
 - Browser/Agents: when browser control service is unavailable, return explicit non-retry guidance (instead of "try again") so models do not loop on repeated browser tool calls until timeout. (#17673) Thanks @austenstone.

 - Cron: infer `payload.kind="agentTurn"` for model-only `cron.update` payload patches, so partial agent-turn updates do not fail validation when `kind` is omitted. (#15664) Thanks @rodrigouroz.
-- Cron: preserve per-job schedule-error isolation in post-run maintenance recompute so malformed sibling jobs no longer abort persistence of successful runs. (#17852) Thanks @pierreeurope.
 - TUI: make searchable-select filtering and highlight rendering ANSI-aware so queries ignore hidden escape codes and no longer corrupt ANSI styling sequences during match highlighting. (#4519) Thanks @bee4come.
 - TUI/Windows: coalesce rapid single-line submit bursts in Git Bash into one multiline message as a fallback when bracketed paste is unavailable, preventing pasted multiline text from being split into multiple sends. (#4986) Thanks @adamkane.
 - TUI: suppress false `(no output)` placeholders for non-local empty final events during concurrent runs, preventing external-channel replies from showing empty assistant bubbles while a local run is still streaming. (#5782) Thanks @LagWizard and @vignesh07.

+## OpenClaw Vision
+
+OpenClaw is the AI that actually does things.
+It runs on your devices, in your channels, with your rules.
+
+This document explains the current state and direction of the project.
+We are still early, so iteration is fast.
+Project overview and developer docs: [`README.md`](README.md)
+Contribution guide: [`CONTRIBUTING.md`](CONTRIBUTING.md)
+
+OpenClaw started as a personal playground to learn AI and build something genuinely useful:
+an assistant that can run real tasks on a real computer.
+It evolved through several names and shells: Warelay -> Clawdbot -> Moltbot -> OpenClaw.
+
+The goal: a personal assistant that is easy to use, supports a wide range of platforms, and respects privacy and security.
+
+The current focus is:
+
+Priority:
+
+- Security and safe defaults
+- Bug fixes and stability
+- Setup reliability and first-run UX
+
+Next priorities:
+
+- Supporting all major model providers
+- Improving support for major messaging channels (and adding a few high-demand ones)
+- Performance and test infrastructure
+- Better computer-use and agent harness capabilities
+- Ergonomics across CLI and web frontend
+- Companion apps on macOS, iOS, Android, Windows, and Linux
+
+Contribution rules:
+
+- One PR = one issue/topic. Do not bundle multiple unrelated fixes/features.
+- PRs over ~5,000 changed lines are reviewed only in exceptional circumstances.
+- Do not open large batches of tiny PRs at once; each PR has review cost.
+- For very small related fixes, grouping into one focused PR is encouraged.
+
+## Security
+
+Security in OpenClaw is a deliberate tradeoff: strong defaults without killing capability.
+The goal is to stay powerful for real work while making risky paths explicit and operator-controlled.
+
+Canonical security policy and reporting:
+
+- [`SECURITY.md`](SECURITY.md)
+
+We prioritize secure defaults, but also expose clear knobs for trusted high-power workflows.
+
+## Plugins & Memory
+
+OpenClaw has an extensive plugin API.
+Core stays lean; optional capability should usually ship as plugins.
+
+Preferred plugin path is npm package distribution plus local extension loading for development.
+If you build a plugin, host and maintain it in your own repository.
+The bar for adding optional plugins to core is intentionally high.
+Plugin docs: [`docs/tools/plugin.md`](docs/tools/plugin.md)
+Community plugin listing + PR bar: https://docs.openclaw.ai/plugins/community
+
+Memory is a special plugin slot where only one memory plugin can be active at a time.
+Today we ship multiple memory options; over time we plan to converge on one recommended default path.
+
+### Skills
+
+We still ship some bundled skills for baseline UX.
+New skills should be published to ClawHub first (`clawhub.ai`), not added to core by default.
+Core skill additions should be rare and require a strong product or security reason.
+
+### MCP Support
+
+OpenClaw supports MCP through `mcporter`: https://github.com/steipete/mcporter
+
+This keeps MCP integration flexible and decoupled from core runtime:
+
+- add or change MCP servers without restarting the gateway
+- keep core tool/context surface lean
+- reduce MCP churn impact on core stability and security
+
+For now, we prefer this bridge model over building first-class MCP runtime into core.
+If there is an MCP server or feature `mcporter` does not support yet, please open an issue there.
+
+### Setup
+
+OpenClaw is currently terminal-first by design.
+This keeps setup explicit: users see docs, auth, permissions, and security posture up front.
+
+Long term, we want easier onboarding flows as hardening matures.
+We do not want convenience wrappers that hide critical security decisions from users.
+
+### Why TypeScript?
+
+OpenClaw is primarily an orchestration system: prompts, tools, protocols, and integrations.
+TypeScript was chosen to keep OpenClaw hackable by default.
+It is widely known, fast to iterate in, and easy to read, modify, and extend.
+
+## What We Will Not Merge (For Now)
+
+- New core skills when they can live on ClawHub
+- Full-doc translation sets for all docs (deferred; we plan AI-generated translations later)
+- Commercial service integrations that do not clearly fit the model-provider category
+- Wrapper channels around already supported channels without a clear capability or security gap
+- First-class MCP runtime in core when `mcporter` already provides the integration path
+- Agent-hierarchy frameworks (manager-of-managers / nested planner trees) as a default architecture
+- Heavy orchestration layers that duplicate existing agent and tool infrastructure
+
+This list is a roadmap guardrail, not a law of physics.
+Strong user demand and strong technical rationale can change it.

+Tip: run `scripts/ios-team-id.sh` from the repo root to print a Team ID to paste into `.env`. The helper prefers the canonical OpenClaw team (`Y5PE65HELJ`) when present locally; otherwise it prefers the first non-personal team from your Xcode account (then personal team if needed). Fastlane uses this helper automatically if `IOS_DEVELOPMENT_TEAM` is missing.

 The audit warns when multiple DM senders share the main session and recommends **secure DM mode**: `session.dmScope="per-channel-peer"` (or `per-account-channel-peer` for multi-account channels) for shared inboxes.
 It also warns when small models (`<=300B`) are used without sandboxing and with web/browser tools enabled.
 For webhook ingress, it warns when `hooks.defaultSessionKey` is unset, when request `sessionKey` overrides are enabled, and when overrides are enabled without `hooks.allowedSessionKeyPrefixes`.
 It also warns when sandbox Docker settings are configured while sandbox mode is off, when `gateway.nodes.denyCommands` uses ineffective pattern-like/unknown entries, when global `tools.profile="minimal"` is overridden by agent tool profiles, and when installed extension plugin tools may be reachable under permissive tool policy.

 If we want to get fancier later, common next steps are Reciprocal Rank Fusion (RRF) or score normalization

-Config:
+#### Post-processing pipeline
+
+After merging vector and keyword scores, two optional post-processing stages
+refine the result list before it reaches the agent:
+
+```
+Vector + Keyword → Weighted Merge → Temporal Decay → Sort → MMR → Top-K Results
+```
+
+Both stages are **off by default** and can be enabled independently.
+
+#### MMR re-ranking (diversity)
+
+When hybrid search returns results, multiple chunks may contain similar or overlapping content.
+For example, searching for "home network setup" might return five nearly identical snippets
+from different daily notes that all mention the same router configuration.
+
+**MMR (Maximal Marginal Relevance)** re-ranks the results to balance relevance with diversity,
+ensuring the top results cover different aspects of the query instead of repeating the same information.
+
+How it works:
+
+1. Results are scored by their original relevance (vector + BM25 weighted score).
+2. MMR iteratively selects results that maximize: `λ × relevance − (1−λ) × max_similarity_to_selected`.
+3. Similarity between results is measured using Jaccard text similarity on tokenized content.
+
+The `lambda` parameter controls the trade-off:
+
+- `lambda = 1.0` → pure relevance (no diversity penalty)
+- `lambda = 0.0` → maximum diversity (ignores relevance)
+- Default: `0.7` (balanced, slight relevance bias)
+
+**Example — query: "home network setup"**
+
+Given these memory files:
+
+```
+memory/2026-02-10.md  → "Configured Omada router, set VLAN 10 for IoT devices"
+memory/2026-02-08.md  → "Configured Omada router, moved IoT to VLAN 10"
+memory/2026-02-05.md  → "Set up AdGuard DNS on 192.168.10.2"
+memory/network.md     → "Router: Omada ER605, AdGuard: 192.168.10.2, VLAN 10: IoT"
+```
+
+Without MMR — top 3 results:
+
+```
+1. memory/2026-02-10.md  (score: 0.92)  ← router + VLAN
+2. memory/2026-02-08.md  (score: 0.89)  ← router + VLAN (near-duplicate!)
+3. memory/network.md     (score: 0.85)  ← reference doc
+```
+
+With MMR (λ=0.7) — top 3 results:
+
+```
+1. memory/2026-02-10.md  (score: 0.92)  ← router + VLAN
+2. memory/network.md     (score: 0.85)  ← reference doc (diverse!)
+3. memory/2026-02-05.md  (score: 0.78)  ← AdGuard DNS (diverse!)
+```
+
+The near-duplicate from Feb 8 drops out, and the agent gets three distinct pieces of information.
+
+**When to enable:** If you notice `memory_search` returning redundant or near-duplicate snippets,
+especially with daily notes that often repeat similar information across days.
+
+#### Temporal decay (recency boost)
+
+Agents with daily notes accumulate hundreds of dated files over time. Without decay,
+a well-worded note from six months ago can outrank yesterday's update on the same topic.
+
+**Temporal decay** applies an exponential multiplier to scores based on the age of each result,
+so recent memories naturally rank higher while old ones fade:
+
+```
+decayedScore = score × e^(-λ × ageInDays)
+```
+
+where `λ = ln(2) / halfLifeDays`.
+
+With the default half-life of 30 days:
+
+- Today's notes: **100%** of original score
+- 7 days ago: **~84%**
+- 30 days ago: **50%**
+- 90 days ago: **12.5%**
+- 180 days ago: **~1.6%**
+
+**Evergreen files are never decayed:**
+
+- `MEMORY.md` (root memory file)
+- Non-dated files in `memory/` (e.g., `memory/projects.md`, `memory/network.md`)
+- These contain durable reference information that should always rank normally.
+
+**Dated daily files** (`memory/YYYY-MM-DD.md`) use the date extracted from the filename.
+Other sources (e.g., session transcripts) fall back to file modification time (`mtime`).
+
+**Example — query: "what's Rod's work schedule?"**
+
+Given these memory files (today is Feb 10):
+
+```
+memory/2025-09-15.md  → "Rod works Mon-Fri, standup at 10am, pairing at 2pm"  (148 days old)
+memory/2026-02-10.md  → "Rod has standup at 14:15, 1:1 with Zeb at 14:45"    (today)
+memory/2026-02-03.md  → "Rod started new team, standup moved to 14:15"        (7 days old)
+```
+
+Without decay:
+
+```
+1. memory/2025-09-15.md  (score: 0.91)  ← best semantic match, but stale!
+2. memory/2026-02-10.md  (score: 0.82)
+3. memory/2026-02-03.md  (score: 0.80)
+```
+
+With decay (halfLife=30):
+
+```
+1. memory/2026-02-10.md  (score: 0.82 × 1.00 = 0.82)  ← today, no decay
+2. memory/2026-02-03.md  (score: 0.80 × 0.85 = 0.68)  ← 7 days, mild decay
+3. memory/2025-09-15.md  (score: 0.91 × 0.03 = 0.03)  ← 148 days, nearly gone
+```
+
+The stale September note drops to the bottom despite having the best raw semantic match.
+
+**When to enable:** If your agent has months of daily notes and you find that old,
+stale information outranks recent context. A half-life of 30 days works well for
+daily-note-heavy workflows; increase it (e.g., 90 days) if you reference older notes frequently.

+# Community plugins
+
+This page tracks high-quality **community-maintained plugins** for OpenClaw.
+
+We accept PRs that add community plugins here when they meet the quality bar.
+
+## Required for listing
+
+- Plugin package is published on npmjs (installable via `openclaw plugins install <npm-spec>`).
+- Source code is hosted on GitHub (public repository).
+- Repository includes setup/use docs and an issue tracker.
+- Plugin has a clear maintenance signal (active maintainer, recent updates, or responsive issue handling).
+
+## How to submit
+
+Open a PR that adds your plugin to this page with:
+
+- Plugin name
+- npm package name
+- GitHub repository URL
+- One-line description
+- Install command
+
+## Review bar
+
+We prefer plugins that are useful, documented, and safe to operate.
+Low-effort wrappers, unclear ownership, or unmaintained packages may be declined.
+
+## Candidate format
+
+Use this format when adding entries:
+
+- **Plugin Name** — short description
+  npm: `@scope/package`
+  repo: `https://github.com/org/repo`
+  install: `openclaw plugins install @scope/package`

 - `tunnel.allowNgrokFreeTierLoopbackBypass: true` allows Twilio webhooks with invalid signatures **only** when `tunnel.provider="ngrok"` and `serve.bind` is loopback (ngrok local agent). Use for local dev only.
 - Ngrok free tier URLs can change or add interstitial behavior; if `publicUrl` drifts, Twilio signatures will fail. For production, prefer a stable domain or Tailscale funnel.
 
+## Stale call reaper
+
+Use `staleCallReaperSeconds` to end calls that never receive a terminal webhook
+(for example, notify-mode calls that never complete). The default is `0`
+(disabled).
+
+Recommended ranges:
+
+- **Production:** `120`–`300` seconds for notify-style flows.
+- Keep this value **higher than `maxDurationSeconds`** so normal calls can
+  finish. A good starting point is `maxDurationSeconds + 30–60` seconds.
+
+Example:
+
+```json5
+{
+  plugins: {
+    entries: {
+      "voice-call": {
+        config: {
+          maxDurationSeconds: 300,
