 ### Fixes
 
+- Plugins/CLI: let flag-driven `openclaw channels add` install the selected channel plugin from its default source without opening an interactive prompt, fixing published npm Telegram setup in stdin-closed automation. Thanks @codex.
+- Plugins/startup: load the default `memory-core` slot during Gateway startup when permitted so active-memory recall can call `memory_search` and `memory_get` without requiring an explicit `plugins.slots.memory` entry, while preserving `plugins.slots.memory: "none"`. Thanks @codex.
+- Plugins/CLI: prefer native require for compiled bundled plugin JavaScript before jiti so read-only config, status, device, and node commands avoid unnecessary transform overhead on slow hosts. Fixes #62842. Thanks @Effet.
+- Plugins/compat: inventory doctor-side deprecation migrations separately from runtime plugin compatibility so release sweeps preserve needed repairs while enforcing dated removal windows. Thanks @vincentkoc.
+- Plugins/compat: add missing dated compatibility records for legacy extension-api, memory registration, provider hook/type aliases, runtime aliases, channel SDK helpers, and approval/test utility shims. Thanks @vincentkoc.
+- Plugins/CLI: refresh the persisted registry after managed plugin files are removed so ClawHub uninstall cannot leave stale `plugins list` entries. Thanks @codex.
+- Plugins/CLI: make plugin install and uninstall config writes conflict-aware, clear stale denylist entries on explicit reinstall/removal, and delete managed plugin files only after config/index commit succeeds. Thanks @codex.
+- Plugins: fail `plugins update` when tracked plugin or hook updates error, keep bundled runtime-dependency repair behind restrictive allowlists, and reject package installs with unloadable extension entries. Thanks @codex.
+- Gateway/chat: keep duplicate attachment-backed `chat.send` retries with the same idempotency key on the documented in-flight path so aborts still target the real active run. Fixes #70139. Thanks @Feelw00.
+- Plugins: share package entrypoint resolution between install and discovery, reject mismatched `runtimeExtensions`, and cache bundled runtime-dependency manifest reads during scans. Thanks @codex.
+- Onboarding/setup: keep first-run config reads, plugin compatibility notices, and post-model sanity checks on cold metadata paths unless the user chooses to browse all models, avoiding full plugin/runtime catalog work between prompts. Thanks @shakkernerd.
+- Onboarding/auth: run manifest-owned provider auth choices through scoped setup providers so selecting OpenAI Codex browser/device auth no longer loads every provider runtime before OAuth starts. Thanks @shakkernerd.
+- Onboarding/auth: keep the post-auth default-model policy lookup on manifest/setup metadata so the next prompt appears without loading broad provider runtime. Thanks @shakkernerd.
+- Onboarding/models: keep skip-auth and provider-scoped model picker prompts off the full global model catalog path, and cache provider catalog hook resolution so setup no longer stalls after auth on large plugin registries. Thanks @shakkernerd.
+- Gateway/Bonjour: suppress known @homebridge/ciao cancellation and network assertion failures through scoped process handlers so malformed mDNS packets or restricted VPS networking disable/restart Bonjour instead of crashing the gateway. Fixes #67578. Thanks @zenassist26-create.
+- Discord: keep late clicks on already-resolved exec approval buttons quiet when elevated mode auto-resolved the request, while still surfacing real approval submission failures. Fixes #66906. Thanks @rlerikse.
 - Agents/subagents: deliver completed yielded-subagent results back to no-thread requester routes via direct fallback when the dormant parent announce turn produces no visible reply, and add QA-lab coverage for the regression. Thanks @vincentkoc.
 - Gateway/Tailscale: let Tailscale-authenticated Control UI operator sessions with browser device identity skip the device-pairing round trip while still rejecting device-less and node-role connections. Refs #71986. Thanks @jokedul.
 - Doctor: honor `OPENCLAW_SERVICE_REPAIR_POLICY=external` by reporting gateway service health while skipping service install/start/restart/bootstrap, supervisor rewrites, and legacy service cleanup for externally managed environments. Thanks @shakkernerd.
