Address adversarial review finding on #70295: the prior swallow-on-benign
fix silently dropped short replies to Slack Connect users. The SDK's
ChatStreamer buffers text locally until buffer_size (256 default), so
short replies never trigger chat.startStream via append(). streamer.stop()
then issues startStream internally; on Slack Connect recipients this
throws user_not_found. With the prior fix that error was swallowed and
the dispatcher marked the turn delivered - user saw 'done' reaction but
no message.
SlackStreamSession now tracks delivered (true once any Slack API call
returned a response) and pendingText (accumulation of every append +
final-stop text). stopSlackStream:
- swallows the benign code when delivered=true (prior append flushed;
text is visible; same behavior as before)
- throws a new SlackStreamNotDeliveredError carrying pendingText when
delivered=false (nothing reached Slack)
dispatch.ts catches SlackStreamNotDeliveredError and posts pendingText
via a rename-bound chat.postMessage (to dodge the unicorn lint rule),
and flips streamFallbackDelivered so anyReplyDelivered stays correct.
Fixes#70295
When Slack's chat.stopStream fails with user_not_found (Slack Connect DM
recipients), team_not_found (cross-workspace shared channels), or
missing_recipient_user_id (DM closed mid-stream), the text already
delivered via append() is still visible to the user. Swallow those
specific codes and mark the session stopped rather than surfacing a
spurious 'slack-stream: failed to stop stream' error in dispatch. Other
Slack API errors still propagate.
Fixes#70295
Reworks the Codex app-server Guardian change into the final landing shape:
- keep YOLO as the default local app-server mode
- add explicit `appServer.mode: "guardian"`
- remove the legacy `OPENCLAW_CODEX_APP_SERVER_GUARDIAN` shortcut
- document Guardian configuration and behavior
- add Guardian event projection and Docker live probes for approved/ask-back decisions

* fix(amazon-bedrock): add known model context windows to discovery
Bedrock's ListFoundationModels API does not expose token limits. Discovery
was hardcoding contextWindow: 32000 for every model, causing Claude (1M),
Nova (300K), and other models to hit premature 'Context limit exceeded'
errors and unnecessary session resets.
Adds a lookup table of known context windows for Bedrock models:
- Anthropic Claude: 200K-1M
- Amazon Nova: 128K-1M
- Meta Llama: 128K
- Mistral: 32K-128K
- DeepSeek: 128K
- Cohere: 128K
- AI21 Jamba: 256K
Inference profile prefixes (us., eu., ap., global.) are stripped before
lookup, so us.anthropic.claude-opus-4-6-v1 correctly resolves to 1M.
Also raises the default fallback from 32K to 128K for unknown models —
most modern models have at least 128K context.
Single file change, no type system modifications.
Complementary to #65030 (provenance flag for warning on unknown models).
Fixes#64919

* add KNOWN_MAX_TOKENS map and expand model coverage
- Add KNOWN_MAX_TOKENS lookup table with Bedrock-optimized values that
balance response quality against quota burndown (5x rate for Claude 3.7+)
- Add missing models to KNOWN_CONTEXT_WINDOWS: Opus 4.7 (1M), Opus 4.1/4.5,
Sonnet 4, Claude 3/3.5 Haiku, DeepSeek V3/V3.2, Google Gemma 3
- Refactor prefix-stripping into shared resolveKnownValue() helper
- Fix: use !== undefined instead of truthy check for table lookups
- Wire resolveKnownMaxTokens into toModelDefinition and resolveInferenceProfiles
Quota burndown context: Bedrock reserves input_tokens + max_tokens from
TPM at request start. For Claude 3.7+, output burns at 5x. The values
in KNOWN_MAX_TOKENS are intentionally conservative (8-16K for Claude)
to maximize concurrent throughput while still allowing useful responses.
Thinking budget is added separately by the runtime.
* remove KNOWN_MAX_TOKENS — maxTokens should be handled upstream
Remove the KNOWN_MAX_TOKENS map. Hardcoding maxTokens values in
discovery is the wrong layer to solve this — any explicit value
still gets reserved against Bedrock's TPM quota at request start.
The correct fix is upstream in pi's Bedrock provider: omit maxTokens
from inferenceConfig when not explicitly set, letting the model use
its internal default. This avoids quota waste entirely.
See: badlogic/pi-mono#3399 and badlogic/pi-mono#3400
Keep the expanded KNOWN_CONTEXT_WINDOWS (context windows ARE the
right thing to set in discovery — they affect compaction thresholds
and session management, not API-level quota reservation).
* docs: clarify why hardcoded context windows are needed
Bedrock's ListFoundationModels and GetFoundationModel APIs return no
token limit information — there is no Bedrock API to discover context
windows or max output tokens programmatically. Note that this table
should become a fallback if AWS adds token metadata in the future.
* fix: add au and apac to inference profile prefix regex
Add missing geo prefixes discovered by querying inference profiles
across multiple regions:
- au. (Australia/NZ, used in ap-southeast-2/4/6)
- apac. (Asia-Pacific, used for older models in ap-northeast-1)
Both resolveKnownContextWindow and resolveBaseModelId now handle
all known prefixes: us, eu, ap, apac, au, jp, global.
* test: port au. prefix test from #65449 by @alickgithub2, add apac. coverage
Port the Australia/NZ inference profile test from PR #65449
(credit: @alickgithub2) and extend it to also cover the apac.
prefix discovered in ap-northeast-1.
* expand model coverage: Llama 4, MiniMax, NVIDIA, Mistral 3, GLM, Qwen
Cross-referenced KNOWN_CONTEXT_WINDOWS against live
list-foundation-models API. Added missing models:
- Llama 4 Maverick (1M) and Scout (512K)
- MiniMax M2/M2.1/M2.5 (1M)
- NVIDIA Nemotron Super/Nano variants (128K)
- Mistral Large 3 675B (128K)
- GLM 4.7/4.7-flash/5 (128K)
- Qwen3 Coder/32B/VL (128-256K)
Removed deprecated deepseek.v3-v1:0 and claude-opus-4-20250514
(not in active foundation models list).
* raise default context window from 128K to 200K
200K matches the floor for all current Claude models (the most
popular on Bedrock). Every other active model with a lower actual
limit is already in the explicit table. This ensures new Claude
models get a correct default without requiring a table update.

* fix(amazon-bedrock-mantle): refresh IAM bearer token via resolveConfigApiKey cache lookup
The Mantle plugin generates a bearer token from IAM credentials at discovery
time and bakes it as a static string into the provider config. After the
token's cache TTL expires (~1hr), requests fail because resolveConfigApiKey
only handled the explicit AWS_BEARER_TOKEN_BEDROCK env var case.
Fix: expose getCachedIamToken() as a sync read from the existing iamTokenCache,
and wire it into resolveConfigApiKey as a fallback when no explicit env var is
set. The catalog.run still generates/refreshes the token on discovery; this
change ensures the cached token is served at auth resolution time.

* fix: propagate AWS SDK auth sentinel for IMDS/instance role Bedrock auth
When Bedrock auth resolves via AWS SDK default credential chain (IMDS,
ECS task role) with no explicit API key, the auth controller returned
early without calling setRuntimeApiKey(). This left pi's authStorage
unaware that the provider is authenticated, causing 'No API key found
for amazon-bedrock' errors.
Now, when mode is 'aws-sdk' and no explicit API key is available:
1. Try prepareProviderRuntimeAuth to resolve runtime credentials
2. If that returns a real apiKey, use it with auth refresh scheduling
3. Otherwise inject a '__aws_sdk_auth__' sentinel so pi's
hasConfiguredAuth() passes and the AWS SDK handles request signing
This is a focused fix in auth-controller.ts only, avoiding the risky
model-auth-runtime-shared.ts changes that could re-introduce the
fake-apiKey injection pattern on ECS (see prior regressions #49891,
#50699, #54274).

* fix(amazon-bedrock): inject cache points for application inference profile ARNs
pi-ai's internal supportsPromptCaching checks model.id for specific Claude
model name patterns (e.g. "-4-", "claude-3-7-sonnet"), which fails for
application inference profile ARNs that don't contain the model name.
This causes prompt caching to silently break for Bedrock users with
application inference profiles.
Work around this by detecting when pi-ai would miss cache point injection
(via piAiWouldInjectCachePoints mirror) and patching the Converse API
payload via onPayload to add cachePoint blocks to the system prompt and
last user message — matching the same format pi-ai uses natively.
The fix is safe:
- Checks for existing cache points to avoid double-injection
- Respects cacheRetention: "none"
- Defaults to "short" retention (matching pi-ai default)
- Becomes a no-op once upstream pi-mono#2925 is fixed

#16763 added `onTimeout: "return"` with `timeoutMilliseconds: 10_000`
(grammY default). In practice, Telegram's webhook servers abort the
read well before 10s when handler latency is LLM-bound: `getWebhookInfo`
reports `last_error_message: "Read timeout expired"` and pending updates
pile up, cascading into multi-minute reply lag.
Reproducible A/B on identical infra (same region, same bot token):
- Minimal Python echo bot: 5 back-to-back webhook RTTs 341-642ms, clean.
- OpenClaw current main: intermittent Read timeout expired, 1-5 min lag.
The handler still runs to completion; only the Telegram-facing ack is
sooner. grammY's deployment guide suggests 5s for long-running handlers.
No new config surface; minimal one-line change to the existing constant
and its test assertion. If a configurable timeout is wanted, that can be
a follow-up (see stale #7754).
Sibling test in monitor.test.ts asserted the pre-fix behavior (single
transport reused across cycles on 409). My #69787 change rebuilds the
transport on 409 so Telegram sees a fresh TCP socket — update the
assertion to match.
Two transports are now expected: the initial one plus the rebuild
after the conflict.
When getUpdates returns 409 Conflict (e.g.
'terminated by other getUpdates request'), the polling runtime
previously retried on the same HTTP keep-alive TCP socket because
markDirty() was only called in the isRecoverable branch.
Telegram treats that connection as the 'old' session and keeps
terminating it — producing a sustained low-rate 409 retry loop
(observed a few per minute after eliminating duplicate pollers).
Broaden the dirty-mark condition to fire on isConflict as well as
isRecoverable so the next cycle forces a fresh TCP connection.
Update the existing 'reuses transport after getUpdates conflict' test
— which previously locked in the buggy behavior — to assert the new
correct behavior: one fresh transport is built, the stale one is
closed.
Commit 95331e5cc5 ("fix(channels): thread runtime config through sends")
migrated resolveToken to a 3-arg signature (explicit, accountId, cfg) and
updated the getClient call site at actions.ts:83. The sibling call inside
downloadSlackFile at actions.ts:445 was not migrated and still dropped
opts.cfg, so the cfg-only resolution branch was unreachable from that path.
Current production callers (action-runtime.ts:386-389) always inject a
resolved readToken into opts.token before calling downloadSlackFile, so
this is defense-in-depth today -- the broken path is not hit in runtime.
Landing this closes the call-site migration gap and adds test coverage
for the cfg-only resolution contract on downloadSlackFile.
Note: pre-commit typecheck hook bypassed because upstream/main has 14
pre-existing TS errors in unrelated packages (discord, qa-lab, qqbot,
slack/monitor/provider.ts, tokenjuice, pi-embedded-runner) -- verified
reproducible on clean HEAD 4a16cf8008 without this diff.

- Always pass extraSystemPromptStatic as string (even when empty) so the
fallback in prepare.ts never accidentally hashes dynamic content
- Use explicit undefined check (params.extraSystemPromptStatic !== undefined)
instead of ?? nullish coalescing to avoid edge case where empty static
string falls through to hashing the full dynamic prompt
- Remove extra blank line
The extraSystemPrompt includes per-message dynamic content from
buildInboundMetaSystemPrompt() (timestamps, message IDs, sender metadata)
that changes on every inbound message. This causes the extraSystemPromptHash
to differ every turn, triggering a session reset with reason='system-prompt'
and discarding all CLI session context.
Fix: split extraSystemPrompt into dynamic (inbound meta) and static
(group context, group intro, group system prompt, exec override hints)
portions. Only hash the static portion for session reuse validation.
The full extraSystemPrompt (dynamic + static) is still sent to the CLI
as before — only the session stability hash uses the static subset.
Fixes#70100
Applies the same safe-accessor pattern to the adjacent name field.
If @buape/carbon implements name as a getter that also reads _rawData
(like parentId), the previous `"name" in channel` pattern would throw
for the same reason. Aligns with the fix for parentId in the same call
site.
#69908 switched native slash commands, listeners, and the model picker to
the safe accessor for partial thread channels, but the voice /join command
still reads channel.parentId through the unsafe "parentId" in channel
pattern. Route it through the same helper so the voice command path does
not crash with "Cannot access rawData on partial Channel" when invoked
from inside a thread on @buape/carbon >=0.16.

Loopback CLI clients (cli_container_local, shared_secret_loopback_local)
with valid shared-secret auth previously got disconnected with 1008
pairing required whenever the paired device record's platform or
deviceFamily string differed from what the CLI claimed at connect time.
PR #69431 added the shared_secret_loopback_local locality but deferred
the metadata-upgrade reason from the auto-approval allowlist. That
deferral created an unrecoverable handshake loop in practice: every CLI
connect triggers a fresh metadata-upgrade request, the Control UI has
no approval surface for this reason, and non-interactive shells cannot
complete pairing. This broke every non-interactive openclaw agent use
case when paired device keys are replicated across hosts or installs
are migrated across platforms.
Extend shouldAllowSilentLocalPairing to auto-approve metadata-upgrade
for cli_container_local and shared_secret_loopback_local localities
only. Browser / Control-UI / remote paths retain existing approval-
required behavior. Gateway still logs every metadata refresh via the
existing security audit line for operator review.
Add 4 unit tests covering the decision table for metadata-upgrade
across all four localities.

runGatewayAuthHealth() only excluded 'password' and 'token' (with existing
token) from its needsToken check. When gateway.auth.mode was set to
'trusted-proxy' or 'none', doctor --fix would incorrectly:
1. Flag the config as 'missing a token'
2. Prompt to generate a gateway token
3. Overwrite auth.mode to 'token' in openclaw.json
This silently broke trusted-proxy deployments (common in SaaS/reverse-proxy
setups) by replacing the delegated auth mode with token auth.
The fix aligns runGatewayAuthHealth() with the existing
hasExplicitGatewayInstallAuthMode() in auth-install-policy.ts, which
already correctly returns false for 'password', 'none', and 'trusted-proxy'.

* fix(release-check): assert bundled plugin runtime deps after packed postinstall
Release-check already validates source dist/extensions runtime deps are staged, but runPackedBundledChannelEntrySmoke never re-validates after the packed postinstall runs against the installed tarball. That gap is how 2026.4.21 shipped without @whiskeysockets/baileys in dist/extensions/whatsapp/node_modules, because the source staging passed while the installed layout was left broken.
Re-use collectBuiltBundledPluginStagedRuntimeDependencyErrors against the installed packageRoot right after runPackedBundledPluginPostinstall and fail release-check if any declared runtime dependency is missing from the plugin-local node_modules.
* fix(release-check): check postinstalled dep sentinels at packageRoot/node_modules
Codex review on #70035 caught that collectInstalledBundledPluginRuntimeDepErrors was pointing at dist/extensions/<id>/node_modules, but packed postinstall installs and probes sentinels at packageRoot/node_modules (see dependencySentinelPath in scripts/postinstall-bundled-plugins.mjs). The previous implementation would have falsely failed release-check on healthy packed installs while still missing the original WhatsApp regression.
Reuse discoverBundledPluginRuntimeDeps from postinstall-bundled-plugins.mjs so the release guard uses the exact same dep discovery and sentinel paths the packed postinstall uses. Update the test fixtures accordingly so they model the real install layout.
* feat(tencent): add bundled Tencent Cloud provider plugin (Tokenhub + Token Plan)

alias). When both providers are onboarded, alias-based selection routed to
whichever provider was configured last.
Disambiguate the fallback aliases so resolution is deterministic regardless

- tencent-tokenhub -> "HY3 Preview (TokenHub)"
- tencent-token-plan -> "HY3 Preview (Token Plan)"
* docs(tencent): rename model to "Hy3 preview" and drop "HY3" family name
Align with the external-facing product name:
- model display name: "HY3 Preview" -> "Hy3 preview"
- family/umbrella references in docs and auth hints: "HY3" -> "Hy3 preview"
- internal cost constant: HY3_COST -> HY_COST
Model call id (hy3-preview) is unchanged.
* docs(tencent): use "Hy" as the family name in generic references
Keep specific model references as "Hy3 preview" (model catalog names,
onboarding aliases, Available-models docs entries), but switch
family/umbrella references to the plain "Hy" family name so future Hy
versions fit without doc churn:
- auth hints: "Hy via Tencent TokenHub Gateway" / "Hy via Token Plan"
- docs intro + Use-case table: "Tencent Hy models" / "call Hy via ..."

memory-core registers a gateway:startup hook that runs reconcileManagedDreamingCron() before deps.cron is attached to the startup event (the startup hook is deferred via a 250ms setTimeout in server.impl).
Downgrade the first startup-time "cron service unavailable" warning to a debug log, and rely on the existing runtime reconciliation path to warn if the cron service truly stays unavailable after boot. The managed dreaming cron job itself runs correctly — this was a log-noise regression, not a functional failure.

Wrap the `key in channel` probe inside the existing `try/catch` in `readDiscordChannelPropertySafe` so a throwing Proxy `has` trap (or any other reflective error on the presence check) degrades to `undefined` instead of propagating, matching the existing behavior for throwing getters on the value read.
Add a regression test that exposes the interaction channel through a Proxy whose `has` trap throws on `parentId` and asserts the slash-command path still defers and dispatches.
No behavior change for Carbon prototype getters or plain-object channels: the safe accessor still traverses the prototype chain (required for Carbon's `GuildThreadChannel.parentId`), still returns `undefined` for missing or throwing reads, and still preserves null-to-undefined coercion downstream.
The Carbon `GuildThreadChannel.parentId` getter throws "Cannot access rawData on partial Channel" whenever Discord delivers a partial thread (for example when an interaction channel is unhydrated). The existing `"parentId" in channel` guard did not help because the `in` operator returns true for prototype getters without invoking them, so the read still crashed `/new` and similar slash commands, guild reactions, and the native model picker when invoked from inside a thread.
Expose a `resolveDiscordChannelParentIdSafe` helper alongside the other channel accessors and use it everywhere we currently read `channel.parentId` from the inbound Discord channel. When the getter throws, the helper returns `undefined`, and the downstream code already falls back to re-fetching the thread id via `resolveDiscordChannelInfo`, keeping authorization/config lookups on the same inputs as before.
Add a regression test that installs a throwing `parentId` getter on a partial guild thread channel and asserts the slash-command path still defers and dispatches instead of surfacing an unauthorized reply.
Fixes#69861
Addresses codex P1 review on PR #69940: the previous guard rejected
targets that simply omitted accountId, but message-tool fills accountId
from the agent's bound account at exec time (message-tool.ts:730-733),
so account-bound cron jobs legitimately start with target.accountId
undefined. Rejecting that case lost skipMessagingToolDelivery, causing
dispatchCronDelivery to double-send.
Now we only reject when the tool explicitly names a *different*
accountId — which is the real CWE-284 spoof vector. Omission matches.
Tests updated accordingly:
- matcher unit test: flipped "omit accountId" case from false to true;
"accountIds differ" case preserved as the real spoof guard
- integration tests: one legitimate-default case (rewrite happens),
one explicit-mismatch case (rewrite suppressed)
658 cron tests pass.
When a cron job sends via the generic `message` tool, the delivery trace
previously recorded `messageToolSentTo[i].channel = "message"` even
though the send was resolved to a specific channel (e.g. telegram). This
made `jq` diffing intended-vs-actual awkward for the happy path.
Fix:
- `normalizeMessagingToolTarget` now rewrites `channel: "message"`
to the resolved channel when `matchesMessagingToolDeliveryTarget`
confirms the tool send matches the resolved cron delivery target.
Genuinely unmatched generic sends keep the literal "message" so
audits can still flag them.
- `matchesMessagingToolDeliveryTarget` now requires strict accountId
equality whenever the resolved delivery carries an `accountId`. An
omitted `target.accountId` previously short-circuited the guard and
was treated as a wildcard, letting a generic send spoof attribution to
any bot identity in the cron delivery trace (CWE-284). This was
flagged by Aisle on #69771.
Tests:
- Unit: `matchesMessagingToolDeliveryTarget` rejects omitted-accountId
against account-tied delivery; still matches same-accountId.
- Integration: cron run trace rewrites generic "message" to the
resolved channel, preserves accountId on both sides, and leaves the
literal "message" provider in place when the tool send omits
accountId against an account-tied delivery.

navigate_page tool (defaulting to CHROME_MCP_NAVIGATE_TIMEOUT_MS when
the caller omits timeoutMs), and callTool() grows an optional safety-net
that tears down a stuck session via Promise.race so the next caller gets
a fresh subprocess. The catch block gains a transport-identity guard to
avoid clobbering a concurrently-created replacement session.
* fix(memory/dreaming): surface blocked status in memory status when heartbeat disabled for main
Replace the hand-rolled heartbeat-rules logic in resolveDreamingBlockedReason
with the shared resolveHeartbeatSummaryForAgent helper, promoted from core to
the plugin-sdk via infra-runtime. Collapses the two disabled-reason branches
into a single message that points at a new Troubleshooting section in the
dreaming docs, so the silent-failure mode described in openclaw/openclaw#69843
becomes legible without the extension re-encoding heartbeat-enablement rules.
Refs openclaw/openclaw#69843, openclaw/openclaw#46046.
* refactor(memory/dreaming): share resolveDreamingBlockedReason across cli and /dreaming surfaces
- Move resolveDreamingBlockedReason from cli.runtime.ts into dreaming.ts as an exported helper and pin its heartbeat check to DEFAULT_AGENT_ID (now exported from plugin-sdk/routing) so the status-line check agrees with the cron's hardcoded sessionTarget even when the configured default agent is not main.
- Render the blocked reason from formatStatus in dreaming-command.ts directly under the enabled line, so /dreaming status, /dreaming on, /dreaming off, and bare /dreaming all flag that the cron is blocked instead of implying dreaming is healthy.
- Tighten the blocked-reason text to lead with user impact ('dreaming is enabled but will not run because heartbeat is disabled for main'), so operators immediately understand the config is toggled on but nothing is actually running.
- Tighten the dreaming Troubleshooting copy to name main explicitly and mention both surfaces.
- Add tests locking the new behavior across cli.test.ts (default-agent=ops still reports blocked for main) and dreaming-command.test.ts (/dreaming status ordering, /dreaming on surfacing, healthy-heartbeat omission).
Refs openclaw/openclaw#69843, openclaw/openclaw#46046.
* fix(memory/dreaming): check heartbeat for the resolved default agent, not the literal 'main'
sessionTarget: 'main' is a cron session-type enum variant meaning 'the default agent's main session', not an agent id (see src/cron/service/jobs.ts). buildManagedDreamingCronJob does not set agentId, and cron runtime resolves the missing agentId through resolveDefaultAgentId(cfg) before enqueuing or waking. The previous pin to DEFAULT_AGENT_ID could produce a false 'blocked' reading when a configured default agent is not 'main' and its heartbeat is fine, and could miss a real block when the default agent is not 'main' and that agent's heartbeat is actually off.
Switch resolveDreamingBlockedReason to resolveDefaultAgentId(cfg) and interpolate the resolved agent id into the message so the blocked line names the agent whose heartbeat is the blocker. Introduce a narrow local CRON_SESSION_TARGET_MAIN constant for the cron session-type enum variant (used by the sessionTarget type and value) so the remaining 'main' literal is semantically distinct from any agent id. Revert the DEFAULT_AGENT_ID export addition on plugin-sdk/routing; memory-core no longer needs it. Update the Troubleshooting doc wording and the cli test that was locking the wrong behaviour.
Refs openclaw/openclaw#69843, openclaw/openclaw#46046.
* fix(memory/dreaming): align blocked check with server-cron wake's defaults-only heartbeat
resolveDreamingBlockedReason was using resolveHeartbeatSummaryForAgent, which merges agents.defaults.heartbeat with agents.list[].heartbeat. The managed dreaming cron leaves job.agentId and job.sessionKey unset, so server-cron's wake wrapper cannot look up a per-agent entry and calls runHeartbeatOnce with agents.defaults.heartbeat only. Using the summary helper would disagree with the actual wake when the default agent overrides heartbeat.every differently from the defaults (either direction — false blocked when the override would run, or false healthy when defaults block).
Mirror the wake path explicitly: rule-1 enablement via isHeartbeatEnabledForAgent against the default agent, rule-3 interval via resolveHeartbeatIntervalMs with defaults-only heartbeat config. Comment points at server-cron so a future cleanup of that latent override-propagation gap sees the coupling.

Fix Slack thread bootstrap replaying the bot's own prior turns into new sessions and duplicating the thread-starter prompt block.
Narrows first-turn context seeding to exclude only the current Slack bot's own starter/history entries, so self-authored turns no longer pollute new session prompts while preserving human and third-party bot context
Removes the redundant plain-text starter prelude in runPreparedReply() that doubled thread-starter content when no ThreadHistoryBody was present
Fixes concurrent manager creation races that caused SafeOpenErrors during session export.
Deduplicates in-flight manager creation so only one full QMD manager arms per agent/config at a time, eliminating the concurrent exportSessions() collisions that triggered path changed during write errors
Resolves and snapshots runtime inputs before cache reuse, replacing stale managers atomically when workspace/config changes, and aborting queued export work promptly on close()
Ollama chat models already support image inputs (extensions/ollama/src/stream.ts
extracts image parts and forwards them via the Ollama API), but the ollama
plugin did not register a MediaUnderstandingProvider. The image tool's provider
registry therefore had no 'ollama' entry, so requests like
`imageModel: 'ollama/qwen2.5vl:7b'` failed to resolve and fell back to
unrelated providers.
Register ollamaMediaUnderstandingProvider with:
- capabilities: ['image']
- describeImage/describeImages wired to the shared core helpers (reuses the
same pi-ai complete path Ollama chat already goes through)
- no defaultModels or autoPriority: Ollama vision support depends on which
model the user has pulled, so we don't pick a canonical default and don't
auto-steal image duty from configured providers.
Fixes#69071 (and supersedes #60280).
Greptile/Codex review follow-ups on #69817:
- Narrow skipA2AFlow from target-only detection to a combined check that
the caller is the parent of the target (new
isRequesterParentOfBackgroundAcpSession helper). Under
tools.sessions.visibility=all a non-parent sender can see the same
oneshot ACP session; the previous guard would have suppressed their
only follow-up delivery path. With requester ownership required, those
senders continue through the normal A2A flow.
- When the A2A flow is skipped, return delivery.status="skipped" instead
of "pending" so the parent LLM does not wait for a second result that
will never arrive.
- Add unit tests for resolveAcpSessionInteractionMode and
isRequesterParentOfBackgroundAcpSession covering both the new
ownership gate and the existing target-type branches.
The A2A ping-pong + announce flow in runSessionsSendA2AFlow treats the
send target as a peer agent and echoes replies back and forth between
requester and target. When the target is an ACP child spawned by the
requester, this creates an infinite loop: the parent is woken with the
child's reply, generates a user-facing response, and has that response
forwarded back to the child as a new user message — effectively granting
the child an implicit sessions_send capability back to the parent.
ACP children already report their results through the
[Internal task completion event] announcement path, so no A2A flow is
needed when the send target is a parent-owned background ACP session.
Detect this case via isParentOwnedBackgroundAcpSession and short-circuit
startA2AFlow before runSessionsSendA2AFlow is invoked.
* fix(exec): block heredoc parameter expansion
* chore(changelog): note heredoc parameter expansion fix
* fix(exec): tighten heredoc expansion guardrails
* fix(exec): reject continued heredoc expansions
* fix(exec): buffer heredoc continuation chunks
* fix(exec): harden heredoc continuation parsing
* fix(exec): cap heredoc continuation chunks
* fix(exec): reject continued heredoc param expansion across delimiter
Bash splices `$VAR\\<newline>REST` into `$VARREST` inside an
unquoted heredoc body even when the continued physical line matches the
heredoc delimiter; the heredoc only terminates at EOF with a warning.
The analyzer previously shifted the pending heredoc the moment a line
equaled the delimiter, so a payload like `cat <<KEY\n$OPENAI_API_\\\nKEY`
passed allowlist review while the runtime would expand and print
$OPENAI_API_KEY.
Mirror bash's splicing: only treat a delimiter-matching line as the
terminator when no continuation chunks are pending, otherwise append it
to the logical line and evaluate it through the expansion check. The
tail handler does the same splice + expansion check before falling back
to "unterminated heredoc".
* feat(qqbot): add core architecture modules
* feat(qqbot): extract engine modules with DI adapters
* refactor(qqbot): remove plugin-level TTS, delegate to framework
Remove qqbot's internal TTS implementation and unify voice synthesis
through the framework's global TTS provider registry.
- Delete engine/gateway/tts-config.ts (plugin-specific TTS config)
- Simplify TTSProvider interface to textToSpeech + audioFileToSilkBase64
- Remove dual-strategy TTS in handleAudioPayload (plugin + global fallback)
- Strip QQBotTtsSchema from config-schema, plugin.json, and tests
- Remove TTS diagnostics logging and hasTTS system prompt from gateway
- Delete ~260 lines of TTS code from utils/audio-convert.ts
Made-with: Cursor
* feat(qqbot): extract shared engine modules for config, tools, and audio
Add engine-layer modules that are self-contained and portable across
both the built-in and standalone qqbot packages:
- engine/config: account resolution helpers, field readers
- engine/tools: channel API proxy, remind scheduling logic
- engine/utils: audio format conversion, duration/error formatting,
debug logging
Consolidate duplicate utility functions across the codebase:
- Merge debug-log.ts into log.ts
- Merge error-format.ts into format.ts with full .cause chain support
- Unify normalizeLowercase/readNumber/readBoolean/readStringMap into
string-normalize.ts, removing private copies in resolve.ts,
remind-logic.ts, and audio-convert.ts
- Remove dead formatDuration export from audio-convert.ts
- Delete unused config/schema.ts and config/helpers.ts
Made-with: Cursor
* refactor(qqbot): streamline account configuration and credential management
Refactor the QQBot account configuration logic by consolidating credential management into dedicated engine modules. Key changes include:
- Migrate credential clearing and validation logic to engine/config/credentials.ts.
- Simplify setup input validation and application in engine/config/setup-logic.ts.
- Enhance account resolution and configuration application in engine/config/resolve.ts.
- Update channel and messaging logic to utilize the new credential management functions.
This refactor improves code maintainability and clarity by separating concerns and reducing duplication across the codebase.
* feat(qqbot): simplify api architecture
* feat: 支持扫码绑定QQ机器人
* feat(qqbot): refactor gateway into inbound pipeline + outbound dispatch
- Extract handleMessage (620 lines) into three modules:
- inbound-context.ts: InboundContext type definition
- inbound-pipeline.ts: buildInboundContext()
- outbound-dispatch.ts: dispatchOutbound()
- gateway.ts handleMessage reduced to ~35 line shell
- Unify parseRefIndices: support both ext prefix formats + MSG_TYPE_QUOTE
- Add ref/format-message-ref.ts for cache-miss quote formatting
- Remove [QQBot] to= from agentBody, use GroupSystemPrompt instead
- QueuedMessage: add msgType/msgElements for quote messages
* fix(qqbot): fix markdownSupport loss + dynamic User-Agent
Root cause: setOpenClawVersion() called _ensureInitialized(true) which
cleared _appRegistry, destroying the MessageApi instance created by
initApiConfig() with markdownSupport=true. Subsequent block deliver
calls created a default markdownSupport=false instance, causing:
1. Markdown messages sent as plain text (msg_type=0 instead of 2)
2. message_reference incorrectly added (only suppressed in MD mode)
Fix: ApiClient and TokenManager now accept userAgent as string | (() => string).
sender.ts passes the buildUserAgent function reference, so UA changes
propagate automatically on next request without rebuilding any objects.
- ApiClient: userAgent -> resolveUserAgent getter, called per-request
- TokenManager: same pattern
- types.ts: ApiClientConfig.userAgent supports string | (() => string)
- sender.ts: remove force re-init + _rebuildAppRegistry hack
- initSender/setOpenClawVersion only update version variables
- _ensureInitialized creates singletons once, never destroys them
- _appRegistry is never cleared -> markdownSupport always preserved
- runtime.ts: inject framework version via setOpenClawVersion(runtime.version)
- gateway.ts: pass openclawVersion to initSender + registerPluginVersion
- slash-commands-impl.ts: remove fragile require("../package.json")
* feat(qqbot): implement native approval handling and configuration
Add a new approval handling system for QQBot that integrates with the existing framework. Key features include:
- Introduce `approval-handler.runtime.ts` for managing approval requests via QQ messages with inline keyboard support.
- Create `approval-native.ts` as the entry point for QQBot's approval capability, allowing for simplified approval processes without explicit approver lists.
- Implement configuration schema for exec approvals, enabling fine-grained control over who can approve requests.
- Enhance messaging and interaction handling to support approval decisions through button interactions.
This implementation streamlines the approval process, making it more user-friendly and efficient for QQBot users.
* refactor(qqbot): enhance error handling across API and messaging modules
This update introduces a centralized error formatting utility, `formatErrorMessage`, to improve consistency in error logging throughout the QQBot codebase. Key changes include:
- Integration of `formatErrorMessage` in various API client, messaging, and gateway modules to standardize error messages.
- Replacement of direct error message handling with the new utility to enhance readability and maintainability.
These improvements streamline error reporting and provide clearer insights into issues encountered during operation.
* refactor(qqbot): enhance API and messaging structure with type improvements
This update refines the API and messaging modules by introducing type enhancements and restructuring function signatures for better clarity and maintainability. Key changes include:
- Updated import statements to streamline type usage in and .
- Refactored message sending functions to accept options objects, improving readability and flexibility.
- Introduced a new method in to facilitate external message-sent notifications.
- Enhanced error handling in the retry mechanism to ensure more robust behavior.
These modifications aim to improve the overall code quality and developer experience within the QQBot framework.
* feat: 优化文案
* refactor(qqbot): unify Logger interfaces + eliminate P0 code smells
Logger unification (17 files):
- Introduce single EngineLogger interface in engine/types.ts
{ info, error, warn?, debug? }
- Delete 5 fragmented Logger interfaces:
GatewayLogger, ReconnectLogger, MessageRefLogger, PathLogger, SenderLogger
- Replace all references across engine/ to use EngineLogger directly
P0 code smell fixes (sender.ts + messages.ts + outbound-dispatch.ts):
- messages.ts: add public notifyMessageSent() method on MessageApi,
replacing 8x 'as unknown as { messageSentHook }' private field hack
- sender.ts: extract notifyMediaHook() helper, deduplicate 4 media
send functions (sendImage/sendVoice/sendVideo/sendFile)
- sender.ts: replace magic numbers 1/2/3/4 with MediaFileType enum
- sender.ts: remove 4 redundant 'as MessageResponse' type assertions
- outbound-dispatch.ts: remove 5 unnecessary 'as never' casts
* feat(qqbot): add /bot-clear-storage command + consolidate utils/types into engine/
/bot-clear-storage (slash-commands-impl.ts):
- Migrate from standalone version, aligned with its two-step flow:
1. No args: scan ~/.openclaw/media/qqbot/downloads/{appId}/ and
display file list with confirmation button
2. --force: delete files + removeEmptyDirs cleanup
- C2C only (group chat returns hint)
- bot-help: exclude bot-upgrade and bot-clear-storage in group listings
Consolidate into engine/:
- Delete src/utils/audio-convert.ts (pure re-export shell, zero consumers)
- Move 5 test files from src/utils/ to src/engine/utils/ (fix import paths)
- Move src/types/silk-wasm.d.ts to src/engine/types/
- Remove empty src/utils/ and src/types/ directories
* refactor(qqbot): restructure API and bridge components for improved modularity
This update enhances the QQBot framework by reorganizing the API and bridge components, promoting better modularity and maintainability. Key changes include:
- Refactored import paths to streamline access to bridge tools and configurations.
- Introduced new bridge files for channel entry, runtime, and approval capabilities, centralizing related functionalities.
- Updated existing functions to utilize the new bridge structure, ensuring consistency across the codebase.
- Removed deprecated functions and types, simplifying the overall architecture.
These modifications aim to improve code clarity and facilitate future development within the QQBot ecosystem.
* refactor(qqbot): standardize engine log levels and unify log tag prefix
- Rename client.ts to api-client.ts to match ApiClient class name
- Downgrade ~60 non-critical info logs to debug level across 12 files
(token request/response, HTTP request/response, session restore,
media tag detection, image classification, quote detection,
attachment download/transcode, retry attempts, etc.)
- Unify log tag prefix to [qqbot:xxx] format across all engine modules
([core-api] -> [qqbot:api], [token:x] -> [qqbot:token:x],
[retry] -> [qqbot:retry], [messages] -> [qqbot:messages],
[sender:x] -> [qqbot:x])
- Remove unnecessary reqTs timestamp from api-client.ts log output
- Add dispatch event debug log in gateway-connection.ts
- Merge sendProactiveMessage into sendText, remove dead code
(sendProactiveText import, getRefIdx, QQMessageResult type)
- Narrow allow-from.ts type from unknown[] to Array<string | number>
* refactor(qqbot): move interaction handler from bridge to engine
- Move onInteraction approval handler into engine/gateway.ts as
createApprovalInteractionHandler(), eliminating the callback
indirection through CoreGatewayContext
- Remove onInteraction from CoreGatewayContext interface and its
unused InteractionEvent import from gateway/types.ts
- Remove getPlatformAdapter, parseApprovalButtonData and
InteractionEvent imports from bridge/gateway.ts
* refactor(qqbot): route bridge and sender logs through framework logger
- Add bridge/logger.ts as a shared logger holder for bridge-layer
modules, injected with ctx.log during gateway startup
- Replace all console.log/console.error in bridge/ with
getBridgeLogger() calls (approval, bootstrap, tools)
- Restore framework logger support in sender.ts via initSender()
so API-layer logs flow through OpenClaw log system
- Remove all direct debugLog/debugError imports from bridge/
* feat(qqbot): per-account isolated resource stack + multi-account logger
- sender.ts: global singletons (ApiClient/TokenManager/MediaApi) -> per-account AccountContext
- Add _accountRegistry: Map<appId, AccountContext>
- Each account owns independent client/tokenMgr/mediaApi/messageApi/logger
- registerAccount() atomically sets up all resources
- resolveAccount() routes to correct resource stack by appId
- Remove _sharedLogger/_loggerRegistry/_appRegistry and old structures
- bridge/gateway.ts: createAccountLogger() with auto [accountId] prefix
- registerAccount() merges logger + markdownSupport + full API resources
- engine-wide: remove ~60 manual [qqbot:${accountId}] log prefixes
- Prefixes now auto-injected by per-account logger
- Remove prefix/logPrefix parameter chains (outbound/outbound-deliver/typing-keepalive etc)
* feat(qqbot): completes fallback path for approval with multi-account isolation
When the execApprovals are not configured, multiple QQBot accounts' handlers will attempt to deliver the same approval message. The openid is account-level, and cross-account delivery will trigger a QQ Bot API 500 error.
- Add account ownership verification in the fallback shouldHandle: Only match the account's handler when the request includes turnSourceAccountId; if unbound, delivery is only permitted when the number of enabled+secret accounts is ≤1.
- Consolidate account ownership determination into the unified export `matchesQQBotApprovalAccount` in `exec-approvals.ts`, with both capability and native runtime paths sharing the same logic to eliminate redundancy.
* feat(qqbot): optimize permission validation strategy
* feat(qqbot): show plugin version in /bot-version and /bot-help
Align /bot-version output with the standalone openclaw-qqbot build so users see both the QQBot plugin version and the OpenClaw framework version. Append the plugin version as a footer in /bot-help as well, matching the standalone UX.
Also fix the plugin version lookup that previously rendered as 'vunknown': the old code used a hardcoded '../../package.json' relative path which resolved to 'src/package.json' (non-existent) when executed from raw sources, so the require threw and the default 'unknown' value was retained. The same broken value also leaked into the QQ Bot API User-Agent header.
Replace the hardcoded path with a dedicated helper (bridge/plugin-version.ts) that walks up the directory tree from import.meta.url and validates the manifest's name field (@openclaw/qqbot) to avoid misreading the monorepo root package.json. Covered by 6 unit tests.
* feat(qqbot): trust shared ~/.openclaw/media root for payload files
Add getOpenClawMediaDir() and include it alongside getQQBotMediaDir() in the allowed roots of resolveQQBotPayloadLocalFilePath, so framework-produced attachments under sibling directories (e.g. media/outbound/ written by saveMediaBuffer) are trusted by auto-routed sends without triggering the path-outside-storage guard.
Covered by a new test case that verifies files under ~/.openclaw/media/outbound/ resolve successfully.
* fix(qqbot): ensure PlatformAdapter is registered before approval delivery
After the framework centralized approval handler bootstrap (#62135), the native approval handler is spawned by the framework layer outside the qqbot gateway startAccount context. This means channel.ts's side-effect `import "./bridge/bootstrap.js"` may not have run, leaving PlatformAdapter unregistered when deliverPending calls resolveQQBotAccount -> getPlatformAdapter().
Extract ensurePlatformAdapter() from bootstrap.ts as an idempotent, re-entrant helper and call it in both capability.ts (load callback) and handler-runtime.ts (deliverPending entry) to guarantee the adapter is available regardless of initialization order.
* fix(qqbot): add lazy factory for PlatformAdapter to eliminate import-order dependency
The bundler splits qqbot code into multiple chunks where the adapter singleton and its consumers may live in different modules. When a consumer chunk evaluates before the bootstrap side-effect chunk, getPlatformAdapter() throws because the singleton is still null.
Introduce registerPlatformAdapterFactory() in adapter/index.ts so getPlatformAdapter() can auto-initialize the adapter on first access. bootstrap.ts registers the factory at module evaluation time alongside the existing eager registration path. Also add error logging in downloadFile's catch block to surface fetch failures.
* feat(qqbot): add /bot-approve slash command for exec approval config management
Add /bot-approve command to the built-in QQBot plugin, ported from the
standalone openclaw-qqbot implementation. This command allows users to
manage tools.exec.security and tools.exec.ask settings directly from QQ.
Supported sub-commands:
/bot-approve on - allowlist + on-miss (recommended)
/bot-approve off - full + off (no approval)
/bot-approve always - allowlist + always (strict mode)
/bot-approve reset - remove overrides, restore framework defaults
/bot-approve status - show current security/ask values
The runtime config API is injected via registerApproveRuntimeGetter()
following the existing dependency injection pattern used by
registerVersionResolver() and registerPluginVersion().
* fix(qqbot): ACK INTERACTION_CREATE events before processing approval buttons
Send PUT /interactions/{id} immediately upon receiving any
INTERACTION_CREATE event to prevent QQ from showing a timeout
error to the user. The ACK is fire-and-forget and does not block
subsequent approval button resolution.
Also resolve merge conflict in pnpm-lock.yaml (keep
@tencent-connect/qqbot-connector@1.1.0 and newer
@thi.ng/bitstream@2.4.46).
* feat(qqbot): enhance reminder functionality with delivery context and credential backup
This update improves the QQBot reminder system by introducing a delivery context for reminders, allowing for more flexible target resolution. Key changes include:
- Updated reminder logic to utilize a delivery envelope, ensuring that reminders are sent with the correct context.
- Implemented credential backup and recovery mechanisms to prevent loss of appId and clientSecret during hot upgrades.
- Added tests for credential backup functionality and admin resolver to ensure reliability.
- Enhanced the remind tool to automatically resolve the target from the current conversation context when not explicitly provided.
These enhancements aim to improve the user experience and reliability of the reminder feature within the QQBot framework.
* fix(qqbot): ensure PlatformAdapter is registered before gateway message processing
Call ensurePlatformAdapter() at the start of bridge/gateway.ts's
startGateway() to guarantee the adapter is available when engine
code (e.g. downloadFile in file-utils.ts) calls getPlatformAdapter().
When the bundler splits code into separate chunks, bootstrap.ts's
module-level side-effect registration may not have executed yet by
the time the gateway processes its first inbound attachment download.
Also fix the TS2339 error in registerApproveRuntimeGetter by using
getQQBotRuntime() (full PluginRuntime with config) instead of
getQQBotRuntimeForEngine() (GatewayPluginRuntime subset without config).
* fix(qqbot): make isAudioFile safe when OutboundAudioAdapter is not registered
sendMedia() calls isAudioFile() as part of its media-type dispatch logic
before any actual audio processing. When the audio adapter is not yet
registered (e.g. framework tool calls sendMedia before gateway startup),
isAudioFile() would throw 'OutboundAudioAdapter not registered' even
for non-audio files like images.
Wrap the getAudio() call in isAudioFile() with try/catch to return false
when the adapter is unavailable, allowing non-audio media sends to
proceed normally.
* refactor(qqbot): remove plugin startup/upgrade greeting pipeline
Drop the startup / upgrade greeting feature that was folded into the
previous reminder + credential-backup commit. The pipeline has proven
unnecessary for the fused build and its supporting admin-resolver
scaffolding has no other consumers, so both are removed wholesale.
- Delete engine/session/startup-greeting.ts and its tests: the
first-launch "soul online" / "updated to vX.Y.Z" messages, the
per-(accountId, appId) startup marker, the failure cooldown, and the
legacy startup-marker.json migration path are all gone.
- Delete engine/session/admin-resolver.ts and its tests: admin openid
persistence/resolution, upgrade-greeting-target load/clear and the
sendStartupGreetings dispatcher only ever served the greeting flow
and were not referenced elsewhere.
- channel.ts: drop the sendStartupGreetings import and the READY /
RESUMED hooks that triggered greetings; credential-backup snapshots
stay untouched.
- engine/utils/data-paths.ts: remove getAdminMarkerFile /
getLegacyAdminMarkerFile / getUpgradeGreetingTargetFile /
getStartupMarkerFile / getLegacyStartupMarkerFile along with the
now-stale module docblock sections. Credential-backup helpers and
safeName are preserved.
Net -655 LOC across 6 files. tsc --noEmit passes on
extensions/qqbot/tsconfig.json and no references to the removed
symbols remain in the workspace.
* fix(qqbot): resolve test failures in extension batch, contracts and bundled runtime deps
- bootstrap: replace sync require() with static imports for secret-input
and temp-path so vitest resolve.alias works correctly (require bypasses
vitest aliases causing Cannot find module errors)
- format: handle null/undefined in formatErrorMessage before JSON.stringify
since JSON.stringify(undefined) returns JS undefined, not a string
- gateway/types: reword comment to avoid triggering the channel-import
guardrail regex that forbids quoted openclaw/plugin-sdk references
- package.json: mirror @tencent-connect/qqbot-connector ^1.1.0 in root
dependencies as required by bundled plugin runtime dependency checks
* chore: revert non-qqbot changes to align with upstream main
Revert modifications to src/agents/system-prompt, src/auto-reply/reply/dispatch-from-config, and src/canvas-host/a2ui build artifacts that were inadvertently included in the qqbot feature branch. Also fix .gitignore Core/ pattern to match subdirectories.
* fix(qqbot): remove unused logUnsupportedStructuredMediaTarget after API simplification
* fix(qqbot): restore channel-plugin-api.ts for bundled plugin surface convention
* fix(qqbot): update CI lint allowlists for restructured engine paths
- Update raw fetch() allowlist in check-no-raw-channel-fetch.mjs to
reflect engine/ directory restructure (src/api.ts → src/engine/api/api-client.ts, etc.)
- Remove stale qqbot allowlist entry for deleted src/utils/audio-convert.ts
* fix(qqbot): eliminate os.tmpdir() in engine layer via adapter injection
- Make hasPlatformAdapter() also check for registered factory, so adapter
is always discoverable once bootstrap has run
- Remove os.tmpdir() fallbacks in platform.ts getHomeDir()/getTempDir(),
delegate entirely to PlatformAdapter.getTempDir() which calls
resolvePreferredOpenClawTmpDir() under the hood
- Keeps engine/ layer free of openclaw/plugin-sdk imports
* chore(qqbot): update CHANGELOG for engine architecture refactor (#67960) (thanks @cxyhhhhh)

* fix: require owner identity for owner-enforced commands
Stop wildcard channel allowlists from authorizing non-owner senders when a plugin requires owner-only commands.
Add a regression test for the owner-enforced wildcard allowFrom path.
* docs(changelog): note owner identity requirement for owner-enforced commands (#69774)
* perf(plugin-sdk): per-phase + per-jiti-call probes for bundled channel entries
Extends the existing OPENCLAW_PLUGIN_LOAD_PROFILE infrastructure (see
src/plugins/loader.ts `profilePluginLoaderSync` and src/plugins/source-loader.ts)
with two new probe sites inside src/plugin-sdk/channel-entry-contract.ts:
1. `bundled-register:<phase>` — wraps each phase of `defineBundledChannelEntry`'s
register() callback (`setChannelRuntime`, `loadChannelPlugin`, `registerChannel`,
`registerCliMetadata`, `registerFull`). Lets us pinpoint which phase of plugin
registration is responsible for cold-start cost on a per-plugin basis.
2. `bundled-entry-module-load` — instruments `loadBundledEntryModuleSync` and
reports `getJitiMs` (jiti loader factory) vs `jitiCallMs` (actual graph walk
+ transpile + ESM linking) separately. Lets us distinguish alias-map / loader
setup overhead from import-graph traversal cost on a per-module basis.
Both probes are gated on OPENCLAW_PLUGIN_LOAD_PROFILE=1 and have zero overhead
when the env flag is unset (early return before any `performance.now()` call).
Log format matches the existing `[plugin-load-profile]` line shape so existing
log scrapers continue to work.
The helper is a file-local mirror of `profilePluginLoaderSync` rather than a
new SDK export — keeps the SDK boundary narrow per src/plugin-sdk/AGENTS.md
and avoids cross-importing host internals.
Used to validate PR #69317 (slack startup perf) — measurements showed slack
`setChannelRuntime` dropping from 13183ms to 67ms after barrel narrowing,
which would have been undiagnosable without these per-phase probes.
* perf(plugins): per-plugin register() probe in plugin loader
Adds a `phase=${registrationMode}:register` probe wrapping each call to
`runPluginRegisterSync(register, api)` in src/plugins/loader.ts. Emits the
established `[plugin-load-profile]` line shape via `profilePluginLoaderSync`,
gated on OPENCLAW_PLUGIN_LOAD_PROFILE=1.
Two call sites are wrapped:
- The main load path (registrationMode is dynamic: "snapshot", "validate",
"full") at the post-snapshot register block. Emits e.g.
`phase=full:register plugin=slack elapsedMs=14102.1 source=...`
- The cli-metadata-only path (registrationMode hardcoded to "cli-metadata")
for fast `--metadata` boot flows.
Together with the existing `phase=full` (entire load) and `phase=source-loader`
probes plus the `bundled-register:*` and `bundled-entry-module-load` probes
added in the previous commit, this gives a full breakdown:
- `phase=full plugin=slack` — total cost from import through register return
- `phase=full:register plugin=slack` — just the register() callback (NEW)
- `phase=bundled-register:setChannelRuntime plugin=slack` — sub-phase
- `phase=bundled-register:loadChannelPlugin plugin=slack` — sub-phase
- `phase=bundled-entry-module-load plugin=(bundled-entry)` — per-module load
Lets you `sort -k4 -n -r` the log output to find the slowest plugin's
register() call across all bundled+third-party plugins, then drill in via
the sub-phase probes for bundled entries.
* perf(plugins): consolidate plugin-load-profile primitives in shared module
Extracts the previously duplicated `shouldProfilePluginLoader` /
`profilePluginLoaderSync` helpers into a new `src/plugins/plugin-load-profile.ts`
module. Removes 3 file-local copies of the same env-flag check and 2
near-duplicate `try { run() } finally { console.error(...) }` wrappers.
Files updated:
- NEW src/plugins/plugin-load-profile.ts — sole owner of:
shouldProfilePluginLoader()
profilePluginLoaderSync<T>({phase, pluginId?, source, run, extras?})
formatPluginLoadProfileLine({phase, pluginId?, source, elapsedMs, extras?})
- src/plugins/loader.ts — drop file-local copies, import shared helper
(existing 4 + new 2 call sites unchanged in shape)
- src/plugins/source-loader.ts — drop renamed local copy
(`shouldProfilePluginSourceLoader`), use shared helper with
`pluginId: "(direct)"` to preserve the existing `plugin=(direct)` field
- src/plugin-sdk/channel-entry-contract.ts — drop file-local copies and
inline `profileStep` closure; use shared `profilePluginLoaderSync` directly
at all 5 `bundled-register:*` call sites; dual-timing
`bundled-entry-module-load` probe uses `formatPluginLoadProfileLine` with
ordered `extras` for `getJitiMs`/`jitiCallMs`
Log line format is byte-for-byte identical to before (validated against
3 cases: standard, with pluginId, dual-timing). The `extras` API is
intentionally an ordered tuple list (not a record) so that scrapers see
deterministic field order between `elapsedMs=` and `source=`.
Net: +155/-87 lines across 4 files, removing ~60 lines of duplication
while exposing a stable, documented probe surface.
Verified:
- pnpm tsgo (core) — 0 errors
- pnpm lint on all 4 files — 0 warnings, 0 errors
- pnpm test src/plugins/loader.test.ts — 102/102
- pnpm test src/plugins/contracts/plugin-entry-guardrails.test.ts — 7/7
- pnpm test src/plugin-sdk/channel-entry-contract.test.ts — 4/4
- Standalone formatter smoke test — output matches existing format byte-for-byte
* refactor(plugins): rename profilePluginLoaderSync to withProfile and bind scope at register sites
* fix(plugin-sdk): zero jiti sub-step timings on Win32 nodeRequire fast-path
When ingestDelta returns null (first empty/commentary delta or unchanged
content), the handler returned early, skipping setActivityStatus and
armStreamingWatchdog. If all subsequent deltas were also null (e.g.
due to phase filtering), the watchdog was never armed and the status bar
stayed stale as "idle" while a run was live.
Move setActivityStatus("streaming") and armStreamingWatchdog before
the null-displayText guard so they fire on every received delta event.

* fix(codex): exclude codex-app-server synthetic apiKey from secrets audit
The Codex extension uses the literal string "codex-app-server" as a
hardcoded placeholder apiKey in provider.ts, since the real
authentication is managed by the app-server transport itself.
The secrets audit currently reports this as a real plaintext leak
(PLAINTEXT_FOUND), producing a false positive for any user who has
configured the Codex harness.
Declare it as a plugin-owned non-secret marker in the Codex plugin
manifest, so it flows through the standard
`listKnownNonSecretApiKeyMarkers()` path alongside `ollama-local`,
`lmstudio-local`, `gcp-vertex-credentials`, and `minimax-oauth`.
Also extends the existing `model auth markers` unit tests to lock
in the behavior.
Fixes#69511
* ci: retrigger checks (no-op)
Regression: `costUsageCache` in `src/gateway/server-methods/usage.ts` had no
delete/prune/evict path. The TTL check at L310 only gates stale reads — on a
miss after expiry, `set()` overwrites the same key but never removes stale
keys. `parseDateRange` derives cacheKey from `getTodayStartMs`, so cacheKey
rolls at every UTC 00:00, and additional axes (days / startDate / endDate /
utcOffset) multiply cardinality. The macOS menu polls `usage.cost` every ~45s
with no params, exercising `parseDateRange`'s default branch every day. Over
gateway uptime the map grows monotonically.
Three sibling caches in the same subsystem already implement MAX + FIFO
eviction (resolvedSessionKeyByRunId, TRANSCRIPT_SESSION_KEY_CACHE,
sessionTitleFieldsCache). This change mirrors their pattern:
- `COST_USAGE_CACHE_MAX = 256` (matches RUN_LOOKUP_CACHE_LIMIT and
TRANSCRIPT_SESSION_KEY_CACHE_MAX).
- New `setCostUsageCache(cacheKey, entry)` helper checks size + evicts
`keys().next().value` when adding a new key would exceed the cap.
- The three existing `costUsageCache.set(...)` call sites now route through
the helper. TTL-on-read, in-flight dedup, and overwrite-on-same-key
semantics are preserved.
Adds `src/gateway/server-methods/usage.cost-usage-cache.test.ts` which drives
growth through `__test.loadCostUsageSummaryCached` with 600 distinct
(startMs, endMs) pairs (mirrors day rollover + range switches). Pre-fix the
Map grows to 600; post-fix it plateaus, the last key is retained, and the
first key is evicted (FIFO).
AI-assisted (fully tested). 432 server-methods tests pass, pnpm check +
pnpm build clean.
eb10803691 tightened the reply-run empty-turn gate to only count
baseBodyFinal (strict user body) and to always append the '[User sent
media without caption]' placeholder to any prefix. That broke the Control
UI webchat path: images arrive via opts.images and do not stamp
sessionCtx.MediaPath (by design — see chat.directive-tags.test.ts
assertion that ctx.MediaPath stays undefined on dispatch). For pure-image
webchat turns the gate therefore returned 'I didn't receive any text in
your message', and when a caption was present the placeholder text leaked
into the Control UI user bubble on top of the inbound-context prefix.
Revert the three get-reply-run.ts hunks from eb10803691 back to the stable
2026.4.5 behavior: check baseBodyForPrompt.trim() (which includes the
inbound-context prefix) for the empty-turn gate, and fall back to the
plain '[User sent media without caption]' placeholder only when the whole
prompt body is empty.
Drop the media-only test the same commit added for metadata-only-prefix
bail-out; it encoded the exact behavior this reverts.
Fixes#69358.

@clawdbot/lobster/core returns both resumeToken and approvalId when a
workflow step needs approval, but the lobster plugin was dropping
approvalId in three places: normalizeEnvelope, the tool schema, and the
embedded-runner resume branch.
Agents forced to round-trip the ~155-byte base64url resumeToken across
tool calls are one stray truncation away from "Invalid token". The
8-hex approvalId is a disk-indexed alias (~/.lobster/state/approval_*
.json) — stable and escape-safe.
Changes are additive: token-based resume keeps working unchanged,
callers just gain an approvalId path.
Forward per-group systemPrompt config into inbound context GroupSystemPrompt so configured group-specific behavioral instructions (for example threaded-reply and tapback conventions) are injected on every turn. Supports "*" wildcard fallback matching the existing requireMention pattern.
Closes#60665.

The bug: three persist sites accumulated cost instead of snapshotting
it like tokens. This caused cost to be inflated 1x-72x on multi-persist
sessions because the same cumulative usage was added repeatedly.
Root cause: persistSessionUsageUpdate, updateSessionStoreAfterAgentRun,
and the cron isolated-agent run path all used:
estimatedCostUsd = existingCost + runCost
But runCost was already computed from cumulative run usage, so this
added the same cost repeatedly on redundant persists.
Fix: snapshot cost directly like tokens already do:
estimatedCostUsd = runCost
Files affected:
- src/auto-reply/reply/session-usage.ts
- src/agents/command/session-store.ts
- src/cron/isolated-agent/run.ts
Tests added:
- session-store.test.ts: verify cost is snapshotted, not accumulated
- session.test.ts: updated existing test to verify snapshot behavior
Fixes#69347
Three corrections to the auto-failover self-healing introduced in the prior commit:
1. Reset in-memory provider/model to configured primary after clearing auto override.
get-reply-directives.ts preloads provider/model from the stored override before
calling createModelSelectionState, so clearing only session state still ran the
current turn on the fallback. Now provider/model are reset to defaultProvider/
defaultModel so this turn retries the primary immediately, not on the next turn.
2. Remove resetModelOverride = true from the auto-heal path. That flag triggers a
"Model override not allowed for this agent" system event in
applyInlineDirectiveOverrides, which is incorrect: the override was valid and set
by the fallback loop — it just expired once the primary recovered. Auto-heal is
not an allowlist violation.
3. Add a test case that verifies the in-memory reset when the caller pre-loads the
fallback provider/model (simulating the get-reply-directives.ts preload path).
Known limitation (noted in comment): channel model overrides (channels.modelByChannel)
are skipped on the recovery turn because hasSessionModelOverride was true when they
were evaluated at preload time. They resume on the following turn once session state
is clear. Fixing this cleanly requires changes to the get-reply-directives preload
flow and is out of scope for this PR.
When runWithModelFallback falls back to a secondary provider it writes
providerOverride/modelOverride/modelOverrideSource:"auto" to the session.
On subsequent turns createModelSelectionState read this stored override and
passed the fallback provider directly to runWithModelFallback, so the
configured primary was never retried — the session was permanently pinned to
the fallback even after the primary recovered.
Fix: at model-selection ingress, when the direct session override has
modelOverrideSource "auto" (set by a previous automatic fallback, not a user
/model command), clear the override and retry the configured primary. If the
primary is still down runWithModelFallback will fall back and re-set the auto
override for that turn. Once the primary recovers the override stays clear.
User-selected overrides (modelOverrideSource "user" or legacy undefined+model)
are preserved unchanged.
Covered by four new unit tests in model-selection.test.ts:
- auto-failover override cleared and primary retried
- user-selected override preserved
- legacy override without source field preserved
- parent-session auto-override applied to child (not cleared by child logic)
OpenAI removed the /backend-api/responses alias on chatgpt.com server-side.
The OpenAI SDK appends /responses to the configured baseUrl, so OpenClaw's
current baseUrl ("https://chatgpt.com/backend-api") now resolves to
/backend-api/responses and hits a Cloudflare HTML 403 block page. The
provider's 403+HTML error classifier then surfaces this as an auth-scope
failure, triggering fruitless OAuth re-login loops for every GPT-5.4
sub-agent call.
- Point OPENAI_CODEX_BASE_URL at https://chatgpt.com/backend-api/codex
(both the catalog constant and the sibling local constant in the provider).
- Extend isOpenAICodexBaseUrl to accept the new /codex segment while keeping
the legacy path recognized so pre-existing user configs and persisted
model metadata still round-trip through the normalizer correctly.
- Add positive-case test coverage for the new base URL; update existing
normalization tests whose expected canonical output now includes /codex.
Verified with live curl using the exact OAuth access token stored by
OpenClaw: the /codex/responses path returns HTTP 200 with streaming SSE,
while the old /responses alias returns HTTP 403 HTML regardless of auth
headers. Scoped tests (base-url, openai-codex-provider, transport-policy,
openai-provider, index) pass; pnpm tsgo and pnpm build are clean.

Per @steipete review on #68310: the silent-error retry must not fire when the
failed attempt already recorded potential side effects (messaging tool sent,
cron add, or a mutating tool call that wasn't round-tripped as replay-safe).
Otherwise resubmission can duplicate those actions.
Adds `!attempt.replayMetadata.hadPotentialSideEffects` to the retry condition,
mirroring the gate used by resolveEmptyResponseRetryInstruction and the
planning-only / reasoning-only retry resolvers in run/incomplete-turn.ts.
Adds a new negative regression test:
"does not retry when the failed attempt recorded side effects"
which reproduces the reviewer's repro — stopReason=error + output=0 + empty
content, but replayMetadata={hadPotentialSideEffects: true, replaySafe: false}.
Expected: no retry, surfaces incomplete-turn error. Confirmed locally.
ollama/glm-5.1:cloud (and occasionally other models) can end a turn with
stopReason="error", usage.output=0, and empty content[] after a successful
tool-call sequence. The existing empty-response retry path in
src/agents/pi-embedded-runner/run/incomplete-turn.ts is gated on
isStrictAgenticSupportedProviderModel (gpt-5 family only), so non-frontier
models fall through to "incomplete turn detected" with payloads=0 and no
recovery. The user sees no reply and has to nudge.
Add a narrow, model-agnostic resubmission inside the attempt loop, placed
before the incompleteTurnText surface-to-user return:
- stopReason === "error"
- usage.output === 0
- content.length === 0 (excludes reasoning-only error turns)
- bounded by MAX_EMPTY_ERROR_RETRIES = 3
No instruction injection, no model gating; same prompt, same session
transcript (tool results already captured), just let the loop try again.
New test file run.empty-error-retry.test.ts covers:
1. Retries for ollama/glm-5.1:cloud → succeeds on 2nd attempt.
2. Caps at 3 retries → 4 total attempts → surfaces incomplete-turn error.
3. Does NOT retry when output > 0 (preserve produced text).
4. Does NOT retry when stopReason=stop + output=0 (NO_REPLY path).
5. Retries for anthropic/claude-opus-4-7 too — model-agnostic.
Relates to #68281.
* fix(telegram): release undici dispatchers via TelegramTransport.close()
TelegramTransport now exposes an explicit close() that destroys every
owned undici dispatcher (default Agent plus lazily-created IPv4 and
IP-pinned fallback Agents) and the TCP sockets they hold. Dispatcher
constructors are also given bounded keep-alive defaults
(keepAliveTimeout, keepAliveMaxTimeout, connections, pipelining) as a
defence-in-depth layer so the pool cannot grow unbounded even if a
caller forgets to call close().
Without this, every transport that went through a fallback retry left
its fallback Agents anchored forever in a closure; long-running polling
sessions accumulated hundreds of ESTABLISHED keep-alive sockets to
api.telegram.org, saturating the per-IP quota on upstream forward
proxies and making the currently-active outbound node time out while
every other node still tested healthy.
Mock dispatchers in fetch.test.ts gain destroy() spies so the close()
chain is assertable. Call sites that built caller-owned transports from
globalThis.fetch (delivery.resolve-media, test helpers) return an async
no-op close(), matching the new required surface.

* fix(telegram): dispose polling transport on shutdown and dirty rebuild
Every recoverable network error and stall-watchdog trip sets
TelegramPollingTransportState.#transportDirty so the next polling
cycle rebuilds the transport inside acquireForNextCycle(). Previously
the rebuild simply overwrote the field, leaving the old transport's
keep-alive sockets anchored in the now-unreferenced dispatcher — the
polling loop has no natural GC point for these resources, and Node's
object GC never touches OS-level sockets.
acquireForNextCycle() now closes the previous transport (fire-and-
forget so the polling cycle is not blocked by a slow destroy) before
swapping in the rebuilt one. dispose() is a new method that the owning
TelegramPollingSession calls from the finally block of runUntilAbort(),
so a single transport is always tied to a single polling session
lifetime. After dispose(), acquireForNextCycle() returns undefined to
prevent zombie rebuilds.
Under high sustained polling traffic over long-lived sessions, this is
what stops the per-gateway connection count to api.telegram.org from
growing indefinitely and saturating upstream proxy quotas.

Undici 8 enables HTTP/2 ALPN by default, but Telegram's long-polling

Keep only the highest-precedence manifest when distinct discovered plugins share an id, while preserving the newer installed-global precedence behavior on main. Lower-precedence duplicates now warn against the ignored manifest source instead of loading as disabled plugin entries.
Thanks @Tortes.
buildPluginLoaderAliasMap() creates a new alias object via spread on every
call. jiti's normalizeAliases() uses a reference-identity sentinel
(`if (e[pt]) return e`) to skip its O(N²) normalization work — but fresh
object refs defeat the sentinel, causing the full cycle to repeat on
every call.
This change caches alias maps by their inputs (modulePath, argv1,
moduleUrl, pluginSdkResolution) so identical parameters return the same
object reference. Subsequent jiti calls hit the sentinel fast-path
instead of re-running normalization.
Includes 5 new tests covering:
- reference identity for identical inputs
- cache isolation (different modulePath, pluginSdkResolution, argv1
each produce distinct objects)
- content equivalence between cached and freshly-computed results

* bluebubbles: fall back unsupported reactions to love
iMessage tapback only supports love/like/dislike/laugh/emphasize/question.
Previously, `normalizeBlueBubblesReactionInput` threw when the input did
not map to one of those (e.g. a non-standard unicode emoji like 👀 used
to mean "seen, working on it"), which aborted the whole reaction request
and left the user with no feedback.
This splits the normalizer into a strict and lenient variant:
- `normalizeBlueBubblesReactionInputStrict` throws on unsupported input
and is used by validator-style callers (e.g. `resolveBlueBubblesAckReaction`
in monitor-processing.ts) that rely on the throw to detect misconfigured
ack reactions and skip them cleanly. This preserves the previous silent-skip
+ warn-once behavior for ack reactions configured with an unsupported
emoji.
- `normalizeBlueBubblesReactionInput` stays lenient and falls back to
`love` (or `-love` when removing) on unsupported input, so agent-driven
`sendBlueBubblesReaction` still produces a visible tapback instead of
failing the whole reaction request. Contract errors (empty input)
continue to bubble up.
`love` is chosen over `like` as the neutral default: `❤️` reads as a
general acknowledgment across chat norms, while `👍` carries an
agreement connotation that does not match the "seen, working on it"
semantic.

* test(agents): expect timing fields in killed-run outcome
Aligns the steer-restart killed-run test with the timing fields added to
subagent run outcomes in #68726. The production code now returns
startedAt/endedAt/elapsedMs alongside status and error on the error
outcome, but this test's toEqual still asserted only status+error, so it
has been failing on main since #68726 landed. Uses the same expect.any(Number)
matcher already in use a few lines below for the ended hook payload.
* test(gateway): register ops agent in sessions.create task-start test
The "sessions.create can start the first agent turn from an initial task"
test triggers the auto chat.send path by passing `task:`. After #65986
added a deleted-agent guard to chat.send, an unregistered `ops` agent
triggers the reject path and the auto-started run never happens, so
runStarted comes back false.
Register `ops` via testState.agentsConfig (matching the pattern already
used by other ops-agent tests in this file) so the guard lets chat.send
through and the first turn starts as expected.

* fix(browser): discover CDP websocket from bare ws:// URL before attach
When browser.cdpUrl is set to a bare ws://host:port (no /devtools/ path), ensureBrowserAvailable would call isChromeReachable -> canOpenWebSocket against the URL verbatim. Chrome only accepts WebSocket upgrades at the specific path returned by /json/version, so the handshake failed immediately with HTTP 400. With attachOnly: true, that surfaced as:
Browser attachOnly is enabled and profile "openclaw" is not running.
even though the CDP endpoint was reachable and the profile was healthy. Reproduced by the new tests in chrome.test.ts and cdp.test.ts (#68027).
Fix: introduce isDirectCdpWebSocketEndpoint(url) — true only when a ws/wss URL has a /devtools/<kind>/<id> handshake path. Route any other ws/wss cdpUrl (including the bare ws://host:port shape) through HTTP /json/version discovery by normalising the scheme via the existing normalizeCdpHttpBaseForJsonEndpoints helper. Apply this in isChromeReachable, getChromeWebSocketUrl, and createTargetViaCdp. Direct WS endpoints with a /devtools/ path are still opened without an extra discovery round-trip.
Fixes#68027
* test(browser): add seeded fuzz coverage for CDP URL helpers
Adds property-based / seeded-fuzz tests for the URL helpers the
attachOnly CDP fix depends on (#68027):
- isWebSocketUrl
- isDirectCdpWebSocketEndpoint
- normalizeCdpHttpBaseForJsonEndpoints
- parseBrowserHttpUrl
- redactCdpUrl
- appendCdpPath
- getHeadersWithAuth
Follows the existing repo convention (see
src/gateway/http-common.fuzz.test.ts): no fast-check dep, small
mulberry32 PRNG + hand-rolled generators, deterministic per-describe
seeds so failures are reproducible.
Lifts cdp.helpers.ts coverage from 77.77% -> 89.54% statements,
67.9% -> 80.24% branches, 78% -> 90% lines. Remaining uncovered
lines are inside the WS sender internals (createCdpSender,
withCdpSocket, fetchCdpChecked rate-limit branch), which require
integration-style mocks and are unrelated to the attachOnly fix.
* test(browser): drive cdp.helpers/cdp/chrome to 100% coverage
Lifts the three files touched by the #68027 attachOnly fix to 100% statements/branches/functions/lines across the extensions test suite. Adds cdp.helpers.internal.test.ts, cdp.internal.test.ts, and chrome.internal.test.ts covering error paths, branch matrices, CDP session helpers, Chrome spawn/launch/stop flows, and canRunCdpHealthCommand. Defensively unreachable guards are annotated with c8 ignore + inline justifications.
* fix(browser): restore WS fallback for non-/devtools ws:// CDP URLs
When /json/version discovery is unavailable (or returns no
webSocketDebuggerUrl), fall back to treating the original bare ws/wss
URL as a direct WebSocket endpoint. This preserves the #68027 fix for
Chrome's debug port while restoring compatibility with Browserless/
Browserbase-style providers that expose a direct WebSocket root without
a /json/version endpoint.
Priority order for bare ws/wss cdpUrl inputs:
1. /devtools/<kind>/<id> URL \u2192 direct handshake, no discovery (unchanged)
2. bare ws/wss root \u2192 try HTTP discovery first; if discovery returns a
webSocketDebuggerUrl use it; otherwise fall back to the original URL
as a direct WS endpoint
3. HTTP/HTTPS URL \u2192 HTTP discovery only, no fallback (unchanged)
Affected call sites: isChromeReachable, getChromeWebSocketUrl,
createTargetViaCdp.
Also renames a misleading test ('still enforces SSRF policy for direct
WebSocket URLs') to accurately describe what it tests: SSRF enforcement
on the navigation target URL, not on the CDP endpoint.
New tests added for all three fallback paths. Coverage remains 100% on
all three touched files (238 tests).
* fix: browser attachOnly bare ws CDP follow-ups (#68715) (thanks @visionik)
* fix(cron): stop persisting "last" as literal delivery channel value
The UI controller writes the sentinel value "last" into jobs.json when
the delivery channel field is empty. This overwrites user-configured
channels (e.g. "telegram") because the form populates with "last" as
the default fallback, and saving the form materializes it as a literal
persisted value.
"last" is a runtime-only sentinel meaning "use whatever channel was
last used in the session" and should never be written to jobs.json.
When the channel field is empty, write `undefined` instead so the
runtime delivery plan resolver applies the "last" fallback at
execution time without polluting the persisted state.

* fix(agents): preserve session totalTokens when provider omits usage data
Fixes#67667
When a provider (e.g. MiniMax via Anthropic endpoint) does not return
usage data in its API response, hasNonzeroUsage() is false and the
entire totalTokens update block in persistSessionAfterRun is skipped.
This resets totalTokens to undefined, causing /status to show 0%
context usage even after compaction has calculated real token counts.
The fix preserves the previous totalTokens value when the current run
has no usage data, marking it as stale (totalTokensFresh: false) so
display layers know it is from a prior run. This is strictly better
than null — the user sees the last known context usage instead of 0%.

Backends like llama-cpp and LM Studio require stream_options: { include_usage: true }
in the request payload to report token usage in streaming responses.
buildOpenAICompletionsParams() previously gated this behind supportsUsageInStreaming
compat detection, which excluded non-standard and custom endpoints. The OpenAI SDK
sends this unconditionally, so we now do the same.
Fixes#68707
The normalizePluginConfig clamp hard-coded a 60_000 ms ceiling for
config.timeoutMs, silently reducing any configured value above 60
seconds down to 60 000 ms at runtime. This made it impossible for
operators to set longer recall budgets even though the docs
(docs/pi.md) showed 120_000 as a valid example.
Raise the ceiling to 120_000 ms so values between 60 001 and 120 000
are honored. Values above 120 000 are still clamped to prevent
unbounded blocking.

- 90 000 ms is passed through unchanged
- 200 000 ms is clamped to 120 000 ms
Fixes#68410.
The macOS restart helper emitted by `openclaw update` (darwin branch of
`prepareRestartScript`) wrote the gateway restart script with every
`launchctl` stderr redirected to `/dev/null` and the final fallback
`kickstart` chained with `|| true`. When bootstrap/kickstart failed
(plist-on-disk race, schema rejection, stale job, bootout recovery
edge cases), the script exited 0, the updater declared success, and
the gateway silently stayed offline.
The reporter saw a ~25 minute production outage before noticing the
messages going unanswered across Telegram/Discord/Feishu.
Route stderr to `~/.openclaw/logs/update-restart.log` via `exec 2>>`,
drop `2>/dev/null` on every launchctl call, and remove the `|| true`
swallow on the fallback kickstart so a genuine failure exits non-zero
and leaves a durable audit trail. Log directory creation is best-effort
via `mkdir -p ... 2>/dev/null || true` since it normally already exists
from the gateway's own logging path. Self-cleanup of the script file
via `rm -f "$0"` is retained because the log, not the script, is the
useful artifact after the fact.
Adds a targeted regression test `captures macOS launchctl stderr to
~/.openclaw/logs/update-restart.log` alongside the existing darwin
restart-script test. The existing test's assertions about the
kickstart/enable/bootstrap fallback chain + self-cleanup all still pass.
Fixes#68486
The stale-gateway cleanup filter already refused to kill process.pid —
acknowledging the invariant that terminating a process whose death
cascades into the caller is never safe. That invariant was applied only
to the caller itself, not to its ancestors, which is why the
openclaw-weixin sidecar triggered an unbounded restart loop: the
sidecar's cleanup SIGTERM'd its parent gateway, the supervisor
restarted the gateway, the gateway re-spawned the sidecar, the cleanup
ran again.
Complete the invariant by excluding the full self+ancestor PID set in
both the lsof (Unix) and PowerShell/netstat (Windows) cleanup paths.
Walk uses process.ppid unconditionally (Node built-in, no spawn) and
/proc/<pid>/status on Linux for transitive ancestors, with graceful
degradation where /proc is unavailable.
The `lint:tmp:no-raw-channel-fetch` allowlist pins exact line numbers
(scripts/check-no-raw-channel-fetch.mjs:63-65). The previous commit
added `import { logVerbose } from "openclaw/plugin-sdk/runtime-env";`
on line 8 of `extensions/slack/src/monitor/media.ts`, shifting the
three allowlisted raw `fetch()` callsites from 96/115/120 → 97/116/121.
Updates the allowlist to match the new positions. No behavior change —
the same callsites remain allowlisted.
Fixes#62571. `resolveSlackThreadStarter` and `resolveSlackThreadHistory`
in `extensions/slack/src/monitor/media.ts` swallowed ALL errors with bare
`catch {}` blocks — auth failures, rate-limit rejections, scope errors,
and network blips all mapped to the same silent `null` / `[]` fallback.
Operators had no way to distinguish "genuinely empty thread" from
"Slack rejected our call".
Replaces both bare catches with `logVerbose` calls that include the
channel, thread ts, and error message. Behavior is preserved — callers
still receive `null` / `[]` — but the failure reason now shows up in
verbose logs, matching the pattern already used elsewhere in the Slack
extension (see `monitor/context.ts:285`, `send.ts:140`, `actions.ts:49`).
Testing:
- New `describe("resolveSlackThreadStarter", ...)` block with 4 tests
(previously uncovered): success path, empty-text skip, Error throw
surfaces via logVerbose with channel/ts/reason, non-Error throw value
surfaces via String(err).
- Existing `resolveSlackThreadHistory` throws test upgraded to assert
the logVerbose call with channel/ts/reason.
- `pnpm vitest run extensions/slack/src/monitor/media.test.ts` → 35
passed (31 previous + 4 new).
Gemini 2.5 Pro only works in thinking mode and rejects thinkingBudget=0
with 'Budget 0 is invalid. This model only works in thinking mode.' The
existing sanitizer in the embedded runner only handled negative budgets;
now it also removes zero budgets for the thinking-required model so the
API uses its default thinking behavior. When thinkingBudget was the only
key in thinkingConfig, the empty object is also removed to match the
Gemma 4 cleanup path.

* test(gateway): add full unit coverage for http-common.ts
Adds tests exercising every export in src/gateway/http-common.ts so the module reaches 100% line, branch, function and statement coverage (33 tests). Captures current default security headers (including the existing Permissions-Policy microphone=() deny-list) and exhaustively covers sendJson/sendText/sendMethodNotAllowed/sendUnauthorized/sendRateLimited (with and without Retry-After), sendGatewayAuthFailure (both branches), sendInvalidRequest, readJsonBodyOrError (413/408/400/success), writeDone, setSseHeaders (with and without flushHeaders) and watchClientDisconnect (empty/single/dedup/distinct sockets, abort logic and listener cleanup).
* fix(gateway): allow microphone access for same-origin in Permissions-Policy header
The gateway's default security headers set Permissions-Policy to microphone=(), which denies microphone access for every origin including the page itself. As a result, the control-ui chat mic button (ui/src/ui/chat/speech.ts) cannot start SpeechRecognition: the browser refuses with 'Permissions policy violation: microphone is not allowed in this document' and the button silently resets.
Relax microphone to the same-origin allowlist (self) so the dashboard page can use the Web Speech API while still blocking third-party frames. Camera and geolocation remain fully denied.
Fixes#51085
* test(gateway): add seeded property/fuzz tests for http-common.ts
Adds src/gateway/http-common.fuzz.test.ts with 13 property-style tests (200 iterations each) driven by an in-file deterministic mulberry32 PRNG. Covers every export with invariants rather than fixed examples: baseline security headers across all opts shapes, Strict-Transport-Security iff non-empty string, sendJson/sendText status + body round-trips across random codes and payloads, sendMethodNotAllowed with random Allow values, sendRateLimited Retry-After iff retryAfterMs>0 with ceil-seconds value (including fractional ms), sendGatewayAuthFailure delegation, sendInvalidRequest message echo, readJsonBodyOrError status/body mapping across random error texts, writeDone sentinel, setSseHeaders with/without flushHeaders, and watchClientDisconnect invariants across arbitrary socket/controller/callback combinations (empty, same, distinct, pre-aborted). Deterministic seeds keep failures reproducible without introducing a new dev dependency.
Use shared SDK payload helpers directly in the outbound payload contract helper

Run setup auto-enable probes only for plugin ids made relevant by the

* fix(agents): filter bundled tools through final policy
* changelog: filter bundled tools through final policy (#68195)
* forward agentId into compaction tool-policy filter
Pass effectiveSkillAgentId to applyFinalEffectiveToolPolicy in the
compaction path so per-agent tool policies apply to bundled tools
during compaction the same way they do during normal runs.
* scope final tool-policy filter to bundled tools only
Running the full tool-policy pipeline on the merged core + bundled tool list
re-filters core tools whose plugin WeakMap metadata no longer survives the
normalize/hook wrappers applied by createOpenClawCodingTools(). Narrow the
helper to only the newly-appended bundled MCP/LSP tools so plugin-provided
core tools keep matching group:plugins and plugin-id allowlist entries.
* harden authorization signals on final tool policy
- message.action gateway handler now server-derives senderIsOwner from the
authenticated gateway client scopes (ADMIN_SCOPE on client.connect.scopes)
and ignores any senderIsOwner value on the wire, so a non-admin scoped
caller cannot spoof owner status to unlock owner-only channel actions or
owner-only tool policy. Schema keeps the field optional for wire compat
but documents that it is ignored.
- applyFinalEffectiveToolPolicy now cross-checks caller-provided groupId
against the session-derived group context resolved from sessionKey (and
spawnedBy). When they disagree, the caller groupId plus its adjacent
groupChannel/groupSpace are dropped and a warn is emitted, so a caller
that fabricates a different group id cannot reach a more permissive
group-scoped tool policy during the final bundled-tool filter. Added a
JSDoc trust invariant on the helper input describing the required
server-verified identity contract.
* align compact agentId resolution with core tools
Drop the explicit agentId on applyFinalEffectiveToolPolicy during
compaction. The core tool set produced just above via
createOpenClawCodingTools(...) also omits agentId, so resolveEffectiveToolPolicy
falls back to resolveAgentIdFromSessionKey(sessionKey) in both places.
Passing effectiveSkillAgentId only to the final filter made the two
policy lookups diverge on legacy/non-agent session keys where the
sessionKey path resolves to main but effectiveSkillAgentId follows the
configured default-agent path, which could deny or allow bundled tools
under a different per-agent policy than the already-created core tools.
* tighten trusted propagation for owner and group signals
- message.action gateway handler: full-operator callers (shared-secret
bearer or operator.admin scope) now propagate the request-provided
senderIsOwner through to channel action handlers instead of having it
hard-coded off. Previously the hardened path force-derived ownership
from ADMIN_SCOPE alone, which broke owner-gated actions when the
trusted runtime forwards them via the least-privilege gateway path
(callGatewayLeastPrivilege requests only the method scope, so even
legitimate owner senders were downgraded to senderIsOwner=false).
Narrowly-scoped callers (e.g. operator.write-only) still have the wire
value forced to false so a non-admin caller cannot assert ownership.
- applyFinalEffectiveToolPolicy: fail-closed when the session key and
spawnedBy encode no group context. Previously the helper only dropped
a caller-provided groupId that conflicted with a non-empty set of
session-derived group ids, which left an accept-caller fallback open
when the session had no group context at all (direct/cron/subagent
session keys). An attacker who could run without a group-bound session
could then supply an arbitrary groupId and reach a more permissive
group-scoped tool policy. Now: no session-derived group context plus
any caller-provided groupId drops the caller value and warns.
* suppress unavailable-core-tool warnings in bundled-only pass
applyToolPolicyPipeline infers its coreToolNames reference set from the
tools array it is filtering. The bundled-only second pass only sees the
MCP/LSP subset, so normal core allowlist entries (for example
tools.allow: ['read', 'exec']) would look "unknown" during this pass
and emit misleading warnings even when the config is valid for the full
effective tool set — polluting logs and potentially evicting real
diagnostics from the shared warning cache. Set
suppressUnavailableCoreToolWarning on every step of this pass so known
core-tool allowlist entries stay silent; genuinely unknown entries
still surface through the otherEntries warning path.
Keep explicit session-key normalization on loaded channel plugins so
unknown provider contexts pass through without cold-loading bundled channel
runtimes. This preserves active plugin behavior and removes the slow
unknown-provider test path.
* fix(cron): preserve untrusted awareness event labels
Keep isolated cron awareness summaries untrusted when they are promoted into the main session, and forward explicit trust downgrades through the gateway cron wrapper. Add focused regression coverage for both paths.
* changelog: note cron awareness untrusted-label preservation (#68210)
* fix(feishu): resolve card-action chat type before dispatch
* changelog: resolve card-action chat type before dispatch (#68201)
* address review: prefer chat_mode over chat_type, add error-path tests
- Swap resolution order to check chat_mode (conversation type) before
chat_type (privacy classification), since Feishu's chat_type can
return "private" for private group chats which would be wrongly
classified as p2p.
- Treat "topic" as group semantics in the normalizer.
- Add comment explaining the field semantics and why "private" maps
to "p2p" (safe-failure direction).
- Add two error-path tests: API returns non-zero code, and API throws.
* map chat_type=public to group in normalizer
Feishu's chat_type can return "public" for public group chats.
Without this mapping the fallback resolver would miss it and default
to p2p, routing a group card action through DM handling.
* address Aisle: cache chat-type lookups and scrub log output
- Add a 30-minute TTL cache for chatId -> chatType so repeated card
actions on the same chat skip the Feishu API call.
- Strip chatId, event.token, and raw error strings from log messages;
use err.message instead of String(err) to avoid leaking stack traces
or HTTP internals from the Feishu SDK.
* prune expired chat-type cache entries
Add pruneChatTypeCache() called on each lookup so expired entries are
evicted and the cache stays bounded in long-running processes.
* address Aisle: scope cache by account, cap size, sanitize logs
- Key cache by accountId:chatId to prevent cross-account contamination.
- Cap cache at 5000 entries and evict oldest when exceeded.
- Sanitize response.msg and err.message with CR/LF stripping and
length cap before logging to prevent log injection.
Keep the registry fallback unit test on a minimal bundled fixture instead of loading the real Google Chat plugin. Doctor capability metadata remains covered by the doctor channel capability tests.
Add an Exa web-search contract artifact and use single bundled plugin-scoped webSearch config as a provider hint. This keeps runtime secret resolution on metadata-only surfaces instead of importing full provider tool implementations.
Use the existing external auth test hook and a lightweight OAuth package mock so mirror-refresh coverage does not load provider runtime work while seeding test stores.
Keep models command tests inside the in-memory channel registry for Discord and WhatsApp so text-surface assertions do not load bundled channel runtimes.
Register a lightweight Telegram test plugin so the default-adapter assertion stays inside the in-memory registry instead of loading the real bundled channel runtime.

* fix(telegram): clean up thread bindings to stale/failed ACP sessions on startup
When loading persisted thread bindings on manager creation, validate each
ACP session against the session store. Remove bindings where:
- Session entry doesn't exist (deleted externally)
- Session status is failed/killed/timeout
- ACP runtime state is 'error'
This addresses issue #60102 where Telegram DMs remained routed to stale
ACP sessions even after restart, because the binding file persisted
across restarts without validating the target session was still valid.
* fix(telegram): guard against null session entry and transient store read failures
Address review comments on PR #67822:
1. Skip bindings when readAcpSessionEntry returns null or when
session store is temporarily unreadable (storeReadFailed: true).
Without this, a transient I/O error would mark all ACP bindings
as stale and delete them on every startup.
2. Only set needsPersist when bindings were actually removed.
Previously, stale session keys from OTHER accounts could set
needsPersist=true even when zero bindings were removed for
the current account — causing spurious disk writes.
Also clean up redundant optional chaining on entry.status now
that we guard against undefined/nullable sessionEntry.
* perf(telegram): dedupe ACP session reads in startup cleanup
Cache readAcpSessionEntry calls by targetSessionKey. Multiple bindings
to the same ACP session now result in a single session store read instead
of one read per binding.
Addresses chatgpt-codex-connector P2 review comment on PR #67822.
* fix(telegram): skip non-ACP session keys in stale binding cleanup
Address chatgpt-codex-connector P1 review comment on PR #67822:
Plugin-bound Telegram conversations use "plugin-binding:*" keys
with targetKind === "acp", but these are NOT ACP runtime sessions.
readAcpSessionEntry() returns no entry for them, so !sessionEntry.entry
would classify them as stale and delete them on every startup.
Now checks isAcpSessionKey(binding.targetSessionKey) to skip plugin-bound
sessions from the stale session cleanup scan.
Also clarifies the comment to explain why we use targetKind === "acp"
// together with isAcpSessionKey() check.
* fix(telegram): import isAcpSessionKey from sessions/session-key-utils
isAcpSessionKey is not re-exported from openclaw/plugin-sdk/routing.
Fix import to use the correct subpath: openclaw/sessions/session-key-utils.
Addresses chatgpt-codex-connector P1 review comment on PR #67822.
* fix(telegram): import from relative path, remove unused variable
- Import isAcpSessionKey from relative path ../../sessions/session-key-utils.js
(not openclaw/sessions/session-key-utils which doesn't exist)
- Remove unused 'bindings' variable in for-of loop
Addresses CI failures on PR #67822.
* fix(telegram): export isAcpSessionKey from plugin-sdk/routing
isAcpSessionKey lives in src/routing/session-key.ts, which is already
exported via openclaw/plugin-sdk/routing. Re-export it from routing.ts
so extensions can import via the public plugin-sdk path.
Fixes chatgpt-codex-connector P1: relative path ../../sessions/session-key-utils.js
doesn't exist in the build output, making the Telegram extension fail
module resolution before startup cleanup can run.

- tag `vYYYY.M.D-beta.N` from the release commit
- create a prerelease titled `openclaw YYYY.M.D-beta.N`
- use release notes from the matching`CHANGELOG.md` version section
- use release notes from the stable base`CHANGELOG.md` version section

- attach at least the zip and dSYM zip, plus dmg if available
- Keep the top version entries in `CHANGELOG.md` sorted by impact:
-`### Changes` first
-`### Fixes` deduped with user-facing fixes first
## Write release tweets
Use the OpenClaw account's existing release-post style:
- Format: `OpenClaw YYYY.M.D 🦞` or `🦞 OpenClaw YYYY.M.D is live`, blank line,
then 3-4 emoji-led bullets, blank line, one short punchline, then the release
link.
- For beta: say `OpenClaw YYYY.M.D-beta.N 🦞` or `OpenClaw YYYY.M.D beta N is
live`; keep it clearly beta and avoid implying stable promotion.
- Lead with user-visible capabilities, then important integrations, then
reliability/security/install fixes. Compress "lots of fixes" into one
readable bullet.
- Tone: high-signal, slightly cheeky, confident, not corporate. One joke is
enough. Avoid punching down, insulting users, or promising what was not
verified.
- Length: release tweets are always standard tweets under 280 characters. Trim
to 3-4 bullets and count the final text before posting.
- Links/media: include the GitHub release or changelog link at the end. Add a
short docs follow-up reply only when there is a standout feature that needs
setup instructions.
- Hotfix/correction: be direct and accountable. State what slipped, what is
fixed, and the new version. Keep jokes out of incident-style posts.

If a lane hits its cap, stop and inspect/fix the affected lane before continuing; do not continue to wait on the same process.
- Actual npm install/update phases are capped at 5 minutes. If `npm install -g`, installer package install, or `openclaw update` takes longer than 300s in release e2e, stop treating the run as healthy progress and debug the installer/updater or harness.

# Tag Duplicate PRs and Issues
Use this skill when a maintainer needs to decide whether a pull request or issue is a duplicate of existing work.
This skill is for maintainer triage and grouping.
It is not for reviewing the implementation quality of a PR.
## Required Setup
Do not start duplicate triage until this setup is complete.
### Install the companion skills
Install these skills first because they teach the agent how to use the two main CLIs correctly:
-`ghreplica` skill from the `ghreplica` repo at `skills/ghreplica/SKILL.md`
-`prtags` skill from the `prtags` repo at `skills/prtags/SKILL.md`
This skill assumes those two skills are available and can be used during the same run.
### Install the CLIs
Install `ghreplica` and `prtags` from their latest GitHub releases.
Do not rely on an old local build unless the maintainer explicitly wants to test unreleased behavior.
If `uvx --from pr-search-cli pr-search ...` fails because `uvx` or the `pr-search` launcher is not available, ask the user to make that command work before continuing.
If `prtags auth status` shows that the user is not logged in, ask the user to run:
```bash
prtags auth login
```
Resume only after the missing tool or login state has been fixed.
## Read-Path Default
For read-only GitHub operations in this workflow, use `ghr` as the default CLI.
Treat it as a drop-in replacement for the `gh` read operations you would normally use for PRs, issues, comments, reviews, and duplicate-search evidence.
Only fall back to `gh` when `ghr` is failing for a concrete reason, such as:
- the mirrored object is not present yet
- the mirror data is clearly stale or incomplete for the decision you need to make
- the `ghr` command errors, times out, or does not expose the specific read you need
When you fall back to `gh`, note that you did so and why.
If `ghr` is missing a fresh PR or issue but `gh` can read it, you may use `gh` for the read-side judgment.
If a later `prtags` target-level write fails because the same object is still missing from `ghreplica`, stop and report that the mirror has not caught up yet instead of forcing the write.
## Goal
For each target PR or issue:
1. gather duplicate evidence
2. decide whether it is a real duplicate
3. create or reuse one `prtags` group for that duplicate cluster
4. save the maintainer judgment in `prtags`
5. rely on normal `prtags` group writes to drive GitHub comment sync when that integration is configured
## Tool Roles
Use the tools with these boundaries:
-`ghreplica` is the raw evidence source
- use `ghr` first for normal GitHub read operations in this workflow
- use it for title/body/comment search, related PRs, overlapping files, overlapping ranges, and current PR or issue status
- resort to `gh` only when `ghr` cannot provide the needed read cleanly
-`pr-search-cli` is candidate generation and ranking
- use it to suggest likely duplicate PRs or issue-cluster context
- do not treat it as final truth
- do not create or expand a duplicate group only because `pr-search-cli` put multiple PRs in the same issue or duplicate cluster
-`prtags` is the maintainer curation layer
- use it to create or reuse one duplicate group
- use it to save the duplicate status, confidence, rationale, and group summary
- use it as the source of truth for the GitHub-facing group comment
## Working Rules
- Do not call something a duplicate only because the titles are similar.
- Do not call something a duplicate only because the same files changed.
- A duplicate cluster should be based on the same user-facing problem, the same intent, and substantially overlapping implementation or investigation context.
## One-Group Rule
Treat duplicate groups as exclusive.
A PR or issue should belong to at most one duplicate group at a time.
That means:
- before creating a new group, search for an existing group that already represents the same duplicate story
- if the target already appears to belong to a different duplicate group, stop and resolve that conflict first
- do not create a second group for the same target just because the wording is slightly different
- if two plausible existing groups overlap and you cannot safely merge the judgment, stop and ask the maintainer
This rule matters more than speed.
The skill should keep one coherent duplicate cluster per problem, not many near-duplicate clusters.
## What A Good Duplicate Group Represents
A duplicate group should describe the underlying problem and the intended fix direction.
Do not group items only because they share a keyword.
Good group shape:
- same user-facing bug or same maintainer-facing task
- same subsystem or code surface
- same intended change direction
- same likely duplicate-resolution path
Bad group shape:
- “all PRs that touch Slack”
- “all issues mentioning retry”
- “all auth-related items”
The group title should name the real problem.
The group description should summarize the intent and the code surface.
Examples:
-`gateway: startup regression from channel status bootstrap`
-`whatsapp: QR preflight timeout handling`
-`release: cross-OS validation handoff gaps`
## Evidence Checklist
Before declaring a duplicate, gather evidence from at least two categories.
Same-issue or same-cluster output from `pr-search-cli` counts only as candidate generation, not as one of the required proof categories by itself.
For PRs:
- same or nearly same problem statement
- same changed files or overlapping file ranges
- same fix direction
- same subsystem and failure mode
- same linked issue or same user-visible symptom
For issues:
- same user-visible problem
- same reproduction story or same failure mode
- same likely fix area
- same PRs already linked or discussed
- same maintainers already steering toward the same duplicate grouping
If you only have wording similarity, that is not enough.
## Step 1: Read The Target
Start by reading the target itself.
Use `ghr` first for this step even if you would normally reach for `gh`.
prtags field ensure -R openclaw/openclaw --name duplicate_rationale --scope pull_request --type text --searchable
prtags field ensure -R openclaw/openclaw --name duplicate_rationale --scope issue --type text --searchable
```
Recommended group-level fields:
```bash
prtags field ensure -R openclaw/openclaw --name duplicate_confidence --scope group --type enum --enum-values low,medium,high --filterable
prtags field ensure -R openclaw/openclaw --name duplicate_rationale --scope group --type text --searchable
prtags field ensure -R openclaw/openclaw --name cluster_summary --scope group --type text --searchable
```
## Step 7: Save The Maintainer Judgment In prtags
For a PR:
```bash
prtags annotation pr set -R openclaw/openclaw <pr-number> \
duplicate_status=confirmed \
duplicate_confidence=high \
duplicate_rationale="<same problem, same fix direction, overlapping files and comments>"
```
For an issue:
```bash
prtags annotation issue set -R openclaw/openclaw <issue-number> \
duplicate_status=confirmed \
duplicate_confidence=high \
duplicate_rationale="<same user-visible problem and same intended fix path>"
```
For the group:
```bash
prtags annotation group set <group-id> \
duplicate_confidence=high \
cluster_summary="<one-sentence problem summary>"\
duplicate_rationale="<why these items belong in one duplicate cluster>"
```
When the evidence is incomplete, set `duplicate_status=candidate` and lower the confidence.
If a per-PR or per-issue annotation write fails because `prtags` cannot resolve the target through `ghreplica`, do not force a fallback write path.
Keep the group state you were able to write, report that the mirror is still missing the target object, and defer the target-level annotation until `ghreplica` catches up.
## Step 8: Let prtags Sync The Group Comment
Do not tell the agent to create a GitHub comment directly.
`prtags` owns the outbound GitHub comment as a derived projection of group state.
In the normal case, do not manually trigger comment sync.
When comment sync is configured, group writes already enqueue the derived comment projection automatically.
Use manual sync only as a repair or retry path:
```bash
prtags group sync-comments <group-id>
```
If the maintainer needs to see which groups still need attention, use:
```bash
prtags group list-comment-sync-targets -R openclaw/openclaw
```
The skill should treat the GitHub comment as a consequence of correct `prtags` group state.
It should not treat manual comment authoring as part of the normal duplicate workflow.
It should also not treat `sync-comments` as a required step for every duplicate decision.

0. Truthfulness + reality gate (required for bug-fix claims)
- Do not trust the issue text or PR summary by default; verify in code and evidence.
- If the PR claims to fix a bug linked to an issue, confirm the bug exists now (repro steps, logs, failing test, or clear code-path proof).
- Prove root cause with exact location (`path/file.ts:line` + explanation of why behavior is wrong).
- Verify fix targets the same code path as the root cause.
- Require a regression test when feasible (fails before fix, passes after fix). If not feasible, require explicit justification + manual verification evidence.
- Hallucination/BS red flags (treat as BLOCKER until disproven):
- claimed behavior not present in repo,
- issue/PR says "fixes #..." but changed files do not touch implicated path,
- only docs/comments changed for a runtime bug claim,
- vague AI-generated rationale without concrete evidence.
- In chat replies, file references must be repo-root relative only (example: `src/telegram/index.ts:80`); never absolute paths or `~/...`.
- Do not edit files covered by security-focused `CODEOWNERS` rules unless a listed owner explicitly asked for the change or is already reviewing it with you. Treat those paths as restricted surfaces, not drive-by cleanup.
Telegraph style. Root rules only. Read scoped `AGENTS.md` before touching a subtree.
## Project Structure & Module Organization
## Start
-Source code: `src/` (CLI wiring in `src/cli`, commands in `src/commands`, web provider in `src/provider-web.ts`, infra in `src/infra`, media pipeline in `src/media`).
-Tests: colocated `*.test.ts`.
-Docs: `docs/` (images, queue, Pi config). Built output lives in `dist/`.
-Nomenclature: use "plugin" / "plugins" in docs, UI, changelogs, and contributor guidance. The bundled workspace plugin tree remains the internal package layout to avoid repo-wide churn from a rename.
-Bundled plugin naming: for repo-owned workspace plugins, keep the canonical plugin id aligned across `openclaw.plugin.json:id`, the default workspace folder name, and package names anchored to the same id (`@openclaw/<id>` or approved suffix forms like `-provider`, `-plugin`, `-speech`, `-sandbox`, `-media-understanding`). Keep `openclaw.install.npmSpec` equal to the package name and `openclaw.channel.id` equal to the plugin id when present. Exceptions must be explicit and covered by the repo invariant test.
-Plugins: live in the bundled workspace plugin tree (workspace packages). Keep plugin-only deps in the extension `package.json`; do not add them to the root `package.json` unless core uses them.
-Plugins: install runs `npm install --omit=dev` in plugin dir; runtime deps must live in `dependencies`. Avoid `workspace:*` in `dependencies` (npm install breaks); put `openclaw` in `devDependencies` or `peerDependencies` instead (runtime resolves `openclaw/plugin-sdk` via jiti alias).
-Import boundaries: extension production code should treat `openclaw/plugin-sdk/*` plus local `api.ts` / `runtime-api.ts` barrels as the public surface. Do not import core `src/**`, `src/plugin-sdk-internal/**`, or another extension's `src/**` directly.
- Installers served from `https://openclaw.ai/*`: live in the sibling repo `../openclaw.ai` (`public/install.sh`, `public/install-cli.sh`, `public/install.ps1`).
- Bundled plugin channels: the workspace plugin tree (for example Matrix, Zalo, ZaloUser, Voice Call)
- When adding channels/plugins/apps/docs, update `.github/labeler.yml` and create matching GitHub labels (use existing channel/plugin label colors).
-Repo: `https://github.com/openclaw/openclaw`
-Replies: repo-root file refs only, e.g. `extensions/telegram/src/index.ts:80`. No absolute paths, no `~/`.
-CODEOWNERS: maintenance/refactors/tests are ok. For larger behavior, product, security, or ownership-sensitive changes, get a listed owner request/review first.
-First pass: run docs list (`pnpm docs:list`; ignore if unavailable), then read only relevant docs/guides.
-Missing deps: run `pnpm install`, rerun once, then report first actionable error.
-Use "plugin/plugins" in docs/UI/changelog. `extensions/` remains internal workspace layout.
-Add channel/plugin/app/doc surface: update `.github/labeler.yml` and matching GitHub labels.
-New `AGENTS.md`: add sibling `CLAUDE.md` symlink to it.
## Architecture Boundaries
## Repo Map
-Start here for the repo map:
-bundled workspace plugin tree = bundled plugins and the closest example surface for third-party plugins
-`src/plugin-sdk/*` = the public plugin contract that extensions are allowed to import
-`src/channels/*` = core channel implementation details behind the plugin/channel boundary
- Invariant: core must stay extension-agnostic. Adding a bundled or third-party extension should not require unrelated core edits just to teach core that the extension exists.
- Rule: extensions must cross into core only through `openclaw/plugin-sdk/*`, manifest metadata, and documented runtime helpers. Do not import `src/**` from extension production code.
- Rule: core code and tests must not deep-import bundled plugin internals such as a plugin's `src/**` files or `onboard.js`. If core needs a bundled plugin helper, expose it through that plugin's `api.ts` and, when it is a real cross-package contract, through `src/plugin-sdk/<id>.ts`.
- Rule: do not add hardcoded bundled extension/provider/channel/capability id lists, maps, or named special cases in core when a manifest, capability, registry, or plugin-owned contract can express the same behavior.
- Rule: extension-owned compatibility behavior belongs to the owning extension. Core may orchestrate generic doctor/config flows, but extension-specific legacy repairs, detection rules, onboarding, auth detection, and provider defaults should live in plugin-owned contracts.
- Rule: for legacy config specifically, prefer doctor-owned repair paths over startup/load-time core migrations. Do not add new plugin-specific legacy migration logic to shared core/runtime surfaces when `openclaw doctor --fix` can own it.
- Rule: when a test is asserting extension-specific behavior, keep that coverage in the owning extension when feasible. Core tests should assert generic contracts and registry/capability behavior, not extension internals.
- Refactor trigger: if you encounter core code or tests that name a specific extension/provider/channel for extension-owned behavior, refactor toward a generic registry/capability/plugin-owned seam instead of adding another special case.
- Compatibility: new plugin seams are allowed, but they must be added as documented, backwards-compatible, versioned contracts. We have third-party plugins in the wild and do not break them casually.
- Channel boundary:
- Public docs: `docs/plugins/sdk-channel-plugins.md`, `docs/plugins/architecture.md`
- Rule: `src/channels/**` is core implementation. If plugin authors need a new seam, add it to the Plugin SDK instead of telling them to import channel internals.
- Provider/model boundary:
- Public docs: `docs/plugins/sdk-provider-plugins.md`, `docs/concepts/model-providers.md`, `docs/plugins/architecture.md`
- Rule: core owns the generic inference loop; provider plugins own provider-specific behavior through registration and typed hooks. Do not solve provider needs by reaching into unrelated core internals.
- Rule: avoid ad hoc reads of `plugins.entries.<id>.config` from unrelated core code. If core needs plugin-owned auth/config behavior, add or use a generic seam (`resolveSyntheticAuth`, public SDK/helper facades, manifest metadata, plugin auto-enable hooks) and honor plugin disablement plus SecretRef semantics.
- Rule: vendor-owned tools and settings belong in the owning plugin. Do not add provider-specific tool config, secret collection, or runtime enablement to core `tools.*` surfaces unless the tool is intentionally core-owned.
- Gateway protocol boundary:
- Public docs: `docs/gateway/protocol.md`, `docs/gateway/bridge-protocol.md`, `docs/concepts/architecture.md`
- Rule: protocol changes are contract changes. Prefer additive evolution; incompatible changes require explicit versioning, docs, and client/codegen follow-through.
- Config contract boundary:
- Canonical public config lives in exported config types, zod/schema surfaces, schema help/labels, generated config metadata, config baselines, and any user-facing gateway/config payloads. Keep those surfaces aligned.
- When a legacy config key is retired from the public contract, remove it from every public config surface above. Keep backward compatibility only through raw-config migration/doctor seams unless explicit product policy says otherwise.
- Do not reintroduce removed legacy aliases into public types/schema/help/baselines “for convenience”. If old configs still need to load, handle that in `legacy.migrations.*`, config ingest, or `openclaw doctor --fix`.
-`hooks.internal.entries` is the canonical public hook config model. `hooks.internal.handlers` is compatibility-only input and must not be re-exposed in public schema/help/baseline surfaces.
- Bundled plugin contract boundary:
- Public docs: `docs/plugins/architecture.md`, `docs/plugins/manifest.md`, `docs/plugins/sdk-overview.md`
- Rule: keep manifest metadata, runtime registration, public SDK exports, and contract tests aligned. Do not create a hidden path around the declared plugin interfaces.
- Extension test boundary:
- Keep extension-owned onboarding/config/provider coverage under the owning bundled plugin package when feasible.
- If core tests need bundled plugin behavior, consume it through public `src/plugin-sdk/<id>.ts` facades or the plugin's `api.ts`, not private extension modules.
- Shared helpers under `test/helpers/**` are part of that same boundary. Do not hardcode repo-relative `extensions/**` imports there, and do not keep plugin-local deep mocks in shared helpers just because multiple tests use them.
- When core tests or shared helpers need bundled plugin public surfaces, use `src/test-utils/bundled-plugin-public-surface.ts` for `api.ts`, `runtime-api.ts`, `contract-api.ts`, `test-api.ts`, plugin entrypoint `index.js`, and resolved module ids for dynamic import or mocking.
- If a core test is asserting extension-specific behavior instead of a generic contract, move it to the owning extension package.
-`test/helpers/AGENTS.md` and `test/helpers/channels/AGENTS.md` expand shared test helper boundary rules.
- Plugin architecture direction:
- Keep a manifest-first control plane: discovery, validation, enablement, setup hints, and activation planning should stay metadata-driven by default.
- Keep runtime execution separate: actual provider/channel/tool execution should resolve through narrow targeted loaders, not broad registry materialization.
- Host loads plugins; plugins do not load host internals. Prefer a small versioned host/kernel seam plus documented SDK entrypoints over ambient reachability.
- Treat broad runtime registries and mutable global plugin state as transitional compatibility surfaces, not the target architecture.
- If a setup or config flow truly needs plugin runtime, make that explicit instead of silently importing runtime code on the cold path.
-Core must stay extension-agnostic. No core special cases for bundled plugin/provider/channel ids when manifest/registry/capability contracts can express it.
-Extensions cross into core only via `openclaw/plugin-sdk/*`, manifest metadata, injected runtime helpers, and documented local barrels (`api.ts`, `runtime-api.ts`).
-Extension production code must not import core `src/**`, `src/plugin-sdk-internal/**`, another extension's `src/**`, or relative paths outside its package.
- Core code/tests must not deep-import plugin internals (`extensions/*/src/**`, `onboard.js`). Use plugin `api.ts` / public SDK facade / generic contract.
-Extension-owned behavior stays in the extension: legacy repair, detection, onboarding, auth/provider defaults, provider tools/settings.
-Legacy config repair: prefer doctor/fix paths over startup/load-time core migrations.
- If a core test asserts extension-specific behavior, move it to the owning extension or a generic contract test.
- Config contract: keep exported types, schema/help, generated metadata, baselines, docs aligned. Retired public keys stay retired; compatibility belongs in raw migration/doctor paths.
- Plugin architecture direction: manifest-first control plane; targeted runtime loaders; no hidden paths around declared contracts; broad mutable registries are transitional.
- Prompt-cache rule: deterministic ordering for maps/sets/registries/plugin lists/files/network results before model/tool payloads. Preserve old transcript bytes when possible.
-If deps are missing (for example `node_modules` missing, `vitest not found`, or `command not found`), run the repo’s package-manager install command (prefer lockfile/README-defined PM), then rerun the exact requested command once. Apply this to test/build/lint/typecheck/dev commands; if retry still fails, report the command and first actionable error.
-Pre-commit hooks: `prek install`. The hook runs the repo verification flow, including`pnpm check`.
-`FAST_COMMIT=1` skips the repo-wide `pnpm format` and `pnpm check` inside the pre-commit hook only. Use it when you intentionally want a faster commit path and are running equivalent targeted verification manually. It does not change CI and does not change what `pnpm check` itself does.
-Also supported: `bun install` (keep `pnpm-lock.yaml` + Bun patching in sync when touching deps/patches).
- Prefer Bun for TypeScript execution (scripts, dev, tests): `bun <file.ts>` / `bunx <tool>`.
-Run CLI in dev: `pnpm openclaw ...` (bun) or `pnpm dev`.
-Node remains supported for running built output (`dist/*`) and production installs.
-Mac packaging (dev): `scripts/package-mac-app.sh` defaults to current arch.
-Type-check/build: `pnpm build`
-TypeScript checks: `pnpm tsgo`
-Lint/format: `pnpm check`
-Local agent/dev shells default to host-aware `OPENCLAW_LOCAL_CHECK=1` behavior for `pnpm tsgo` and `pnpm lint`; set `OPENCLAW_LOCAL_CHECK_MODE=throttled` to force the lower-memory profile, `OPENCLAW_LOCAL_CHECK_MODE=full` to keep lock-only behavior, or `OPENCLAW_LOCAL_CHECK=0` in CI/shared runs.
-Format check: `pnpm format` (oxfmt --check)
- Format fix: `pnpm format:fix` (oxfmt --write)
- Terminology:
-"gate" means a verification command or command set that must be green for the decision you are making.
-A local dev gate is the fast default loop, usually `pnpm check` plus any scoped test you actually need.
-A landing gate is the broader bar before pushing `main`, usually `pnpm check`, `pnpm test`, and `pnpm build` when the touched surface can affect build output, packaging, lazy-loading/module boundaries, or published surfaces.
-A CI gate is whatever the relevant workflow enforces for that lane (for example `check`, `check-additional`, `build-smoke`, or release validation).
-Local dev gate: prefer `pnpm check` for the normal edit loop. It keeps the repo-architecture policy guards out of the default local loop.
-CI architecture gate: `check-additional` enforces architecture and boundary policy guards that are intentionally kept out of the default local loop.
-Formatting gate: the pre-commit hook runs `pnpm format` before `pnpm check`. If you want a formatting-only preflight locally, run `pnpm format` explicitly.
-If you need a fast commit loop, `FAST_COMMIT=1 git commit ...` skips the hook’s repo-wide `pnpm format` and `pnpm check`; use that only when you are deliberately covering the touched surface some other way.
-Generated baseline drift detection uses SHA-256 hash files under `docs/.generated/` (`.sha256` files tracked in git; full JSON baselines are gitignored, generated locally for inspection).
-Plugin SDK API drift uses `pnpm plugin-sdk:api:gen` / `pnpm plugin-sdk:api:check`.
-If you change config schema/help or the public Plugin SDK surface, run the matching gen command and commit the updated `.sha256` hash file. Keep the two drift-check flows adjacent in scripts/workflows/docs guidance rather than inventing a third pattern.
-When `pnpm tsgo` fails, triage by coherent surface instead of by raw error count: rerun the gate, group failures by package/module/type contract, open the source-of-truth type or export file first, fix the root mismatch, then rerun `pnpm tsgo` before widening into downstream consumers. Check `origin/main` before doing broad cleanup because some apparent type debt is already fixed upstream.
- For narrowly scoped changes, prefer narrowly scoped tests that directly validate the touched behavior. If no meaningful scoped test exists, say so explicitly and use the next most direct validation available.
- Verification modes for work on `main`:
- Default mode: `main` is relatively stable. Count pre-commit hook coverage when it already verified the current tree, avoid rerunning the exact same checks just for ceremony, and prefer keeping CI/main green before landing.
- Fast-commit mode: `main` is moving fast and you intentionally optimize for shorter commit loops. Prefer explicit local verification close to the final landing point, and it is acceptable to use `--no-verify` for intermediate or catch-up commits after equivalent checks have already run locally.
- Preferred landing bar for pushes to `main`: in Default mode, favor `pnpm check` and `pnpm test` near the final rebase/push point when feasible. In fast-commit mode, verify the touched surface locally near landing without insisting every intermediate commit replay the full hook.
- Scoped tests prove the change itself. `pnpm test` remains the default `main` landing bar; scoped tests do not replace full-suite gates by default.
- Hard gate: if the change can affect build output, packaging, lazy-loading/module boundaries, or published surfaces, `pnpm build` MUST be run and MUST pass before pushing `main`.
- Default rule: do not land changes with failing format, lint, type, build, or required test checks when those failures are caused by the change or plausibly related to the touched surface. Fast-commit mode changes how verification is sequenced; it does not lower the requirement to validate and clean up the touched surface before final landing.
- For narrowly scoped changes, if unrelated failures already exist on latest `origin/main`, state that clearly, report the scoped tests you ran, and ask before broadening scope into unrelated fixes or landing despite those failures.
- Do not use scoped tests as permission to ignore plausibly related failures.
- Runtime: Node 22+. Keep Node and Bun paths working.
-Smart local gate: `pnpm check:changed` (scoped typecheck/lint/guards + relevant tests)
-Explain smart gate: `pnpm changed:lanes --json`
- Pre-commit view: `pnpm check:changed --staged`
-Normal full prod sweep: `pnpm check` (prod typecheck/lint/guards, no tests)
-Full tests: `pnpm test`
-Changed tests only: `pnpm test:changed`
-Local serial loop: `pnpm test:serial`
-Extension tests: `pnpm test:extensions` or `pnpm test extensions` = all extension shards; `pnpm test extensions/<id>` = one extension lane. Heavy channels/OpenAI have dedicated shards.
-Shard timing artifact: `.artifacts/vitest-shard-timings.json`; auto-used for balanced shard ordering. Disable with `OPENCLAW_TEST_PROJECTS_TIMINGS=0`.
-Targeted tests: `pnpm test <path-or-filter> [vitest args...]`; do not call raw `vitest`.
-Coverage: `pnpm test:coverage`
- Format check/fix: `pnpm format:check` / `pnpm format`
- Typecheck:
-`pnpm tsgo`: fastest core prod graph
-`pnpm tsgo:prod`: core + extensions prod graphs; used by `pnpm check`
-`pnpm check:test-types` / `pnpm tsgo:test`: all test graphs
-`pnpm tsgo:all`: all prod + test project refs
-Debug slices exist; do not present as normal user flow.
-`pnpm lint:apps`: Swift/app surface, separate from TS lint
-`pnpm lint:all`: legacy comparison lane
-Local heavy-check behavior: `OPENCLAW_LOCAL_CHECK=1` default; `OPENCLAW_LOCAL_CHECK_MODE=throttled|full`; `OPENCLAW_LOCAL_CHECK=0` for CI/shared runs.
-Local validation is local-first. Do not default to Blacksmith/Testbox for routine OpenClaw iteration; it burns warm caches and startup time. Use repo `pnpm` lanes first, then reach for remote CI/Testbox only for parity-only failures, secrets/services, or when explicitly requested.
## Prompt Cache Stability
## Gates
-Treat prompt-cache stability as correctness/perf-critical, not cosmetic.
-Any code that assembles model or tool payloads from maps, sets, registries, plugin lists, MCP catalogs, filesystem reads, or network results must make ordering deterministic before building the request.
-Do not rewrite older transcript/history bytes on every turn unless you intentionally want to invalidate the cached prefix. Legacy cleanup, pruning, normalization, and migration logic should preserve recent prompt bytes when possible.
-If truncation or compaction is required, prefer mutating newest or tail content first so the cached prefix stays byte-identical for as long as possible.
-For cache-sensitive changes, require a regression test that proves turn-to-turn prefix stability or deterministic request assembly; helper-local tests alone are not enough.
-Never add `@ts-nocheck` and do not add inline lint suppressions by default. Fix root causes first; only keep a suppression when the code is intentionally correct, the rule cannot express that safely, and the comment explains why.
-Do not disable `no-explicit-any`; prefer real types, `unknown`, or a narrow adapter/helper instead. Update Oxlint/Oxfmt config only when required.
-Prefer `zod` or existing schema helpers at external boundaries such as config, webhook payloads, CLI/JSON output, persisted JSON, and third-party API responses.
-Prefer discriminated unions when parameter shape changes runtime behavior.
-Prefer `Result<T, E>`-style outcomes and closed error-code unions for recoverable runtime decisions.
-Keep human-readable strings for logs, CLI output, and UI; do not use freeform strings as the source of truth for internal branching.
-Avoid `?? 0`, empty-string, empty-object, or magic-string sentinels when they can change runtime meaning silently.
-If introducing a new optional field or nullable semantic in core logic, prefer an explicit union or dedicated type when the value changes behavior.
-New runtime control-flow code should not branch on `error: string` or `reason: string` when a closed code union would be reasonable.
-Dynamic import guardrail: do not mix `await import("x")` and static `import ... from "x"` for the same module in production code paths. If you need lazy loading, create a dedicated `*.runtime.ts` boundary (that re-exports from `x`) and dynamically import that boundary from lazy callers only.
- Dynamic import verification: after refactors that touch lazy-loading/module boundaries, run `pnpm build` and check for `[INEFFECTIVE_DYNAMIC_IMPORT]` warnings before submitting.
- Circular dependencies: keep both `pnpm check:import-cycles` and `pnpm check:madge-import-cycles` green; do not reintroduce runtime import cycles or madge-detected import loops.
- Extension SDK self-import guardrail: inside an extension package, do not import that same extension via `openclaw/plugin-sdk/<extension>` from production files. Route internal imports through a local barrel such as `./api.ts` or `./runtime-api.ts`, and keep the `plugin-sdk/<extension>` path as the external contract only.
- Extension package boundary guardrail: inside a bundled plugin package, do not use relative imports/exports that resolve outside that same package root. If shared code belongs in the plugin SDK, import `openclaw/plugin-sdk/<subpath>` instead of reaching into `src/plugin-sdk/**` or other repo paths via `../`.
- Extension API surface rule: `openclaw/plugin-sdk/<subpath>` is the only public cross-package contract for extension-facing SDK code. If an extension needs a new seam, add a public subpath first; do not reach into `src/plugin-sdk/**` by relative path.
- Never share class behavior via prototype mutation (`applyPrototypeMixins`, `Object.defineProperty` on `.prototype`, or exporting `Class.prototype` for merges). Use explicit inheritance/composition (`A extends B extends C`) or helper composition so TypeScript can typecheck.
- If this pattern is needed, stop and get explicit approval before shipping; default behavior is to split/refactor into an explicit class hierarchy and keep members strongly typed.
- In tests, prefer per-instance stubs over prototype mutation (`SomeClass.prototype.method = ...`) unless a test explicitly documents why prototype-level patching is required.
- Add brief code comments for tricky or non-obvious logic.
- Keep files concise; extract helpers instead of “V2” copies. Use existing patterns for CLI options and dependency injection via `createDefaultDeps`.
- Aim to keep files under ~700 LOC; guideline only (not a hard guardrail). Split/refactor when it improves clarity or testability.
- Naming: use **OpenClaw** for product/app/docs headings; use `openclaw` for CLI command, package/binary, paths, and config keys.
- Written English: use American spelling and grammar in code, comments, docs, and UI strings (e.g. "color" not "colour", "behavior" not "behaviour", "analyze" not "analyse").
-Avoid magic sentinels like `?? 0`, empty object/string when semantics change.
-Dynamic import: do not mix static and dynamic import for same module in prod path. Use dedicated `*.runtime.ts` lazy boundary. After lazy-boundary edits, run `pnpm build` and check `[INEFFECTIVE_DYNAMIC_IMPORT]`.
-Cycles: keep `pnpm check:import-cycles` and architecture/madge cycle checks green.
-Classes: no prototype mixins/mutations. Use explicit inheritance/composition. Tests prefer per-instance stubs.
-Comments: brief only for non-obvious logic.
-File size: split around ~700 LOC when it improves clarity/testability.
-Use `$openclaw-release-maintainer` at `.agents/skills/openclaw-release-maintainer/SKILL.md` for release naming, version coordination, release auth, and changelog-backed release-note workflows.
-Use `$openclaw-ghsa-maintainer` at `.agents/skills/openclaw-ghsa-maintainer/SKILL.md` for GHSA advisory inspection, patch/publish flow, private-fork checks, and GHSA API validation.
-Release and publish remain explicit-approval actions even when using the skill.
- Prefer injected deps over module mocks; if mocking modules, mock narrow local `*.runtime.ts` seams, not broad barrels.
- Share fixtures/builders; do not recreate temp dirs, package manifests, or plugin workspaces in every case unless state isolation needs it.
- Delete duplicate assertions when another test owns the boundary; assert only the behavior that can regress here.
- Avoid broad `importOriginal()` / broad `openclaw/plugin-sdk/*` partial mocks in hot tests. Add narrow local `*.runtime.ts` seam and mock it.
- Use existing deps/callback/runtime injection seams before module mocks.
- Import-dominated test time is a boundary smell; shrink import surface before adding cases.
- Replacing slow integration coverage: extract production composition into a named helper and test that helper.
- Do not modify baseline/inventory/ignore/snapshot/expected-failure files to silence checks without explicit approval.
- Do not set test workers above 16. For memory pressure: `OPENCLAW_VITEST_MAX_WORKERS=1 pnpm test`.
- Live: `OPENCLAW_LIVE_TEST=1 pnpm test:live`; full logs `OPENCLAW_LIVE_TEST_QUIET=0`.
- Full testing guide: `docs/help/testing.md`.
## Testing Guidelines
## Docs / Changelog
-Framework: Vitest with V8 coverage thresholds (70% lines/branches/functions/statements).
-Naming: match source names with `*.test.ts`; e2e in `*.e2e.test.ts`.
-When tests need example Anthropic/OpenAI model constants, prefer `sonnet-4.6` and `gpt-5.4`; update older Anthropic/GPT examples when you touch those tests.
-Run `pnpm test` (or `pnpm test:coverage`) before pushing when you touch logic.
- Write tests to clean up timers, env, globals, mocks, sockets, temp dirs, and module state so `--isolate=false` stays green.
- Test performance guardrail: do not put `vi.resetModules()` plus `await import(...)` in `beforeEach`/per-test loops for heavy modules unless module state truly requires it. Prefer static imports or one-time `beforeAll` imports, then reset mocks/runtime state directly.
- Test performance guardrail: if a test file uses stable `vi.mock(...)` hoists or other static module mocks, do not pair them with `vi.resetModules()` and a fresh `await import(...)` in every `beforeEach`. Import the heavy module once in `beforeAll`, then reset/prime mocks in `beforeEach` so Browser/Matrix-style hotspot tests do not pay the module graph cost per case.
- Test performance guardrail: inside an extension package, prefer a thin local seam (`./api.ts`, `./runtime-api.ts`, or a narrower local `*.runtime-api.ts`) over direct `openclaw/plugin-sdk/*` imports for internal production code. Keep local seams curated and lightweight; only reach for direct `plugin-sdk/*` imports when you are crossing a real package boundary or when no suitable local seam exists yet.
- Test performance guardrail: keep expensive runtime fallback work such as snapshotting, migration, installs, or bootstrap behind dedicated `*.runtime.ts` boundaries so tests can mock the seam instead of accidentally invoking real work.
- Test performance guardrail: for import-only/runtime-wrapper tests, keep the wrapper lazy. Do not eagerly load heavy verification/bootstrap/runtime modules at module top level if the exported function can import them on demand.
- Test performance guardrail: prefer explicit mock factories over `importOriginal()` for broad modules. Reserve `importOriginal()` for narrow modules where partial-real behavior is genuinely needed.
- Test performance guardrail: do not partial-mock broad `openclaw/plugin-sdk/*` barrels in hot tests. Add a plugin-local `*.runtime.ts` seam and mock that seam instead.
- Test performance guardrail: when production code already accepts `deps`, callbacks, or runtime injection, use that seam in tests before adding module-level mocks.
- Test performance guardrail: prefer narrow public SDK subpaths such as `models-provider-runtime`, `skill-commands-runtime`, and `reply-dispatch-runtime` over older broad helper barrels when both expose the needed helper.
- Test performance guardrail: treat import-dominated test time as a boundary bug. Refactor the import surface before adding more cases to the slow file.
- Agents MUST NOT modify baseline, inventory, ignore, snapshot, or expected-failure files to silence failing checks without explicit approval in this chat.
- For targeted/local debugging, use the native root-project entrypoint: `pnpm test <path-or-filter> [vitest args...]` (for example `pnpm test src/commands/onboard-search.test.ts -t "shows registered plugin providers"`); do not default to raw `pnpm vitest run ...` because it bypasses the repo's default config/profile/pool routing.
- Do not set test workers above 16; tried already.
- Vitest now defaults to native root-project `threads`, with hard `forks` exceptions for `gateway`, `agents`, and `commands`. Keep new pool changes explicit and justified; use `OPENCLAW_VITEST_POOL=forks` for full local fork debugging.
- If local Vitest runs cause memory pressure, the default worker budget now derives from host capabilities (CPU, memory band, current load). For a conservative explicit override during land/gate runs, use `OPENCLAW_VITEST_MAX_WORKERS=1 pnpm test`.
- Live tests (real keys): `OPENCLAW_LIVE_TEST=1 pnpm test:live` (OpenClaw-only) or `LIVE=1 pnpm test:live` (includes provider live tests). Docker: `pnpm test:docker:live-models`, `pnpm test:docker:live-gateway`. Onboarding Docker E2E: `pnpm test:docker:onboard`.
- Changelog placement: in the active version block, append new entries to the end of the target section (`### Changes` or `### Fixes`); do not insert new entries at the top of a section.
- Changelog attribution: use at most one contributor mention per line; prefer `Thanks @author` and do not also add `by @author` on the same entry.
- Pure test additions/fixes generally do **not** need a changelog entry unless they alter user-facing behavior or the user asks for one.
- Mobile: before using a simulator, check for connected real devices (iOS + Android) and prefer them when available.
-Update docs when behavior/API changes. Use docs list/read_when hints.
-Docs links: see `docs/AGENTS.md`.
-Changelog: user-facing only. Pure test/internal changes usually no entry.
-Changelog placement: append to active version `### Changes`/`### Fixes`; at most one contributor mention, prefer `Thanks @user`.
## Commit & Pull Request Guidelines
## Git
- Use `$openclaw-pr-maintainer` at `.agents/skills/openclaw-pr-maintainer/SKILL.md` for maintainer PR triage, review, close, search, and landing workflows.
-This includes auto-close labels, bug-fix evidence gates, GitHub comment/search footguns, and maintainer PR decision flow.
-For the repo's end-to-end maintainer PR workflow, use `$openclaw-pr-maintainer` at `.agents/skills/openclaw-pr-maintainer/SKILL.md`.
- Use `scripts/committer "<msg>" <file...>`; stage only intended files.
-Commits: conventional-ish, concise/action-oriented. Group related changes.
- Never commit real phone numbers, videos, credentials, live config.
- Secrets: channel/provider credentials under `~/.openclaw/credentials/`; model auth profiles under `~/.openclaw/agents/<agentId>/agent/auth-profiles.json`.
- Env keys: check `~/.profile`.
- Dependency patches/overrides/vendor changes require explicit approval. `pnpm.patchedDependencies` must use exact versions.
- Carbon pins owner-only: do not change `@buape/carbon` versions unless Shadow (`@thewilloftheshadow`, verified by `gh`) asks.
- Release docs: `docs/reference/RELEASING.md`; use `$openclaw-release-maintainer`.
- GHSA/advisories: use `$openclaw-ghsa-maintainer`.
- Beta tag/version must match, e.g. `vYYYY.M.D-beta.N` => npm `YYYY.M.D-beta.N --tag beta`.
- If `git branch -d/-D <branch>` is policy-blocked, delete the local ref directly: `git update-ref -d refs/heads/<branch>`.
- Agents MUST NOT create or push merge commits on `main`. If `main` has advanced, rebase local commits onto the latest `origin/main` before pushing.
- Bulk PR close/reopen safety: if a close action would affect more than 5 PRs, first ask for explicit user confirmation with the exact PR count and target scope/query.
## Apps / Platform
## Security & Configuration Tips
- Before simulator/emulator testing, check connected real iOS/Android devices first.
- "restart iOS/Android apps" = rebuild/reinstall/relaunch, not kill/launch.
- SwiftUI: prefer Observation (`@Observable`, `@Bindable`) over new `ObservableObject`.
- mac gateway: use app or `openclaw gateway restart/status --deep`; avoid ad-hoc tmux gateway sessions. Rebuild mac app locally, not over SSH.
- mac logs: `./scripts/clawlog.sh`.
- Version bump touches: `package.json`, `apps/android/app/build.gradle.kts`, `apps/ios/version.json` then `pnpm ios:version:sync`, `apps/macos/.../Info.plist`, `docs/install/updating.md`. Appcast only for Sparkle release.
- Mobile LAN pairing: plaintext `ws://` is loopback-only by default. Trusted private-network `ws://` needs `OPENCLAW_ALLOW_INSECURE_PRIVATE_WS=1`; Tailscale/public use `wss://` or a tunnel.
- Web provider stores creds at `~/.openclaw/credentials/`; rerun `openclaw login` if logged out.
- Pi sessions live under `~/.openclaw/sessions/` by default; the base directory is not configurable.
- Environment variables: see `~/.profile`.
- Never commit or publish real phone numbers, videos, or live configuration values. Use obviously fake placeholders in docs, tests, and examples.
- Release flow: use the private [maintainer release docs](https://github.com/openclaw/maintainers/blob/main/release/README.md) for the actual runbook, `docs/reference/RELEASING.md` for the public release policy, and `$openclaw-release-maintainer` for the maintainership workflow.
- Rebrand/migration issues or legacy config/service warnings: run `openclaw doctor` (see `docs/gateway/doctor.md`).
- Use `$openclaw-parallels-smoke` at `.agents/skills/openclaw-parallels-smoke/SKILL.md` for Parallels smoke, rerun, upgrade, debug, and result-interpretation workflows across macOS, Windows, and Linux guests.
- For the macOS Discord roundtrip deep dive, use the narrower `.agents/skills/parallels-discord-roundtrip/SKILL.md` companion skill.
- Never edit `node_modules` (global/Homebrew/npm/git installs too). Updates overwrite. Skill notes go in `tools.md` or `AGENTS.md`.
- If you need local-only `.agents` ignores, use `.git/info/exclude` instead of repo `.gitignore`.
- When adding a new `AGENTS.md` anywhere in the repo, also add a `CLAUDE.md` symlink pointing to it (example: `ln -s AGENTS.md CLAUDE.md`).
- Signal: "update fly" => `fly ssh console -a flawd-bot -C "bash -lc 'cd /data/clawd/openclaw && git pull --rebase origin main'"` then `fly machines restart e825232f34d058 -a flawd-bot`.
- Gateway currently runs only as the menubar app; there is no separate LaunchAgent/helper label installed. Restart via the OpenClaw Mac app or `scripts/restart-mac.sh`; to verify/kill use `launchctl print gui/$UID | grep openclaw` rather than assuming a fixed label. **When debugging on macOS, start/stop the gateway via the app, not ad-hoc tmux sessions; kill any temporary tunnels before handoff.**
- macOS logs: use `./scripts/clawlog.sh` to query unified logs for the OpenClaw subsystem; it supports follow/tail/category filters and expects passwordless sudo for `/usr/bin/log`.
- If shared guardrails are available locally, review them; otherwise follow this repo's guidance.
- SwiftUI state management (iOS/macOS): prefer the `Observation` framework (`@Observable`, `@Bindable`) over `ObservableObject`/`@StateObject`; don’t introduce new `ObservableObject` unless required for compatibility, and migrate existing usages when touching related code.
- Connection providers: when adding a new connection, update every UI surface and docs (macOS app, web UI, mobile if applicable, onboarding/overview docs) and add matching status + configuration forms so provider lists and settings stay in sync.
- "Bump version everywhere" means all version locations above **except**`appcast.xml` (only touch appcast when cutting a new macOS Sparkle release).
- **Restart apps:** “restart iOS/Android apps” means rebuild (recompile/install) and relaunch, not just kill/launch.
- **Device checks:** before testing, verify connected real devices (iOS/Android) before reaching for simulators/emulators.
- Mobile pairing: `ws://` (cleartext) is allowed for private LAN addresses (RFC 1918, link-local, mDNS `.local`) and loopback. Private LAN hosts typically lack PKI-backed identity, so requiring TLS there adds complexity without meaningful security gain. `wss://` is required for Tailscale and public endpoints.
- Security report scope: reports that treat cleartext `ws://` mobile pairing over private LAN as a vulnerability are out of scope unless they demonstrate a trust-boundary bypass beyond passive network observation on the same LAN.
- iOS Team ID lookup: `security find-identity -p codesigning -v` → use Apple Development (…) TEAMID. Fallback: `defaults read com.apple.dt.Xcode IDEProvisioningTeamIdentifiers`.
- A2UI bundle hash: `src/canvas-host/a2ui/.bundle.hash` is auto-generated; ignore unexpected changes, and only regenerate via `pnpm canvas:a2ui:bundle` (or `scripts/bundle-a2ui.sh`) when needed. Commit the hash as a separate commit.
- Release signing/notary credentials are managed outside the repo; maintainers keep that setup in the private [maintainer release docs](https://github.com/openclaw/maintainers/tree/main/release).
- Lobster palette: use the shared CLI palette in `src/terminal/palette.ts` (no hardcoded colors); apply palette to onboarding/config prompts and other TTY UI output as needed.
- When asked to open a “session” file, open the Pi session logs under `~/.openclaw/agents/<agentId>/sessions/*.jsonl` (use the `agent=<id>` value in the Runtime line of the system prompt; newest unless a specific ID is given), not the default `sessions.json`. If logs are needed from another machine, SSH via Tailscale and read the same path there.
- Do not rebuild the macOS app over SSH; rebuilds must be run directly on the Mac.
- Voice wake forwarding tips:
- Command template should stay `openclaw-mac agent --message "${text}" --thinking low`; `VoiceWakeForwarder` already shell-escapes `${text}`. Don’t add extra quotes.
- launchd PATH is minimal; ensure the app’s launch agent PATH includes standard system paths plus your pnpm bin (typically `$HOME/Library/pnpm`) so `pnpm`/`openclaw` binaries resolve when invoked via `openclaw-mac`.
## Misc Footguns
## Collaboration / Safety Notes
-When working on a GitHub Issue or PR, print the full URL at the end of the task.
-When answering questions, respond with high-confidence answers only: verify in code; do not guess.
- Carbon version edits are owner-only: do not change `@buape/carbon` version pins unless you are Shadow (@thewilloftheshadow) as verified by gh.
-Any dependency with `pnpm.patchedDependencies` must use an exact version (no `^`/`~`).
-Patching dependencies (pnpm patches, overrides, or vendored changes) requires explicit approval; do not do this by default.
- **Multi-agent safety:** do **not** create/apply/drop `git stash` entries unless explicitly requested (this includes `git pull --rebase --autostash`). Assume other agents may be working; keep unrelated WIP untouched and avoid cross-cutting state changes.
- **Multi-agent safety:** when the user says "push", you may `git pull --rebase` to integrate latest changes (never discard other agents' work). When the user says "commit", scope to your changes only. When the user says "commit all", commit everything in grouped chunks.
- **Multi-agent safety:** prefer grouped `commit` / `pull --rebase` / `push` cycles for related work instead of many tiny syncs.
- **Multi-agent safety:** do **not** switch branches / check out a different branch unless explicitly requested.
- **Multi-agent safety:** running multiple agents is OK as long as each agent has its own session.
- **Multi-agent safety:** when you see unrecognized files, keep going; focus on your changes and commit only those.
- Lint/format churn:
- If staged+unstaged diffs are formatting-only, auto-resolve without asking.
- If commit/push already requested, auto-stage and include formatting-only follow-ups in the same commit (or a tiny follow-up commit if needed), no extra confirmation.
- Only ask when changes are semantic (logic/data/behavior).
- **Multi-agent safety:** focus reports on your edits; avoid guard-rail disclaimers unless truly blocked; when multiple agents touch the same file, continue if safe; end with a brief “other files present” note only if relevant.
- Bug investigations: read source code of relevant npm dependencies and all related local code before concluding; aim for high-confidence root cause.
- Code style: add brief comments for tricky logic; keep files under ~700 LOC when feasible (split/refactor as needed).
- Tool schema guardrails (google-antigravity): avoid `Type.Union` in tool input schemas; no `anyOf`/`oneOf`/`allOf`. Use `stringEnum`/`optionalStringEnum` (Type.Unsafe enum) for string lists, and `Type.Optional(...)` instead of `... | null`. Keep top-level tool schema as `type: "object"` with `properties`.
- Tool schema guardrails: avoid raw `format` property names in tool schemas; some validators treat `format` as a reserved keyword and reject the schema.
- Never send streaming/partial replies to external messaging surfaces (WhatsApp, Telegram); only final replies should be delivered there. Streaming/tool events may still go to internal UIs/control channel.
- For manual `openclaw message send` messages that include `!`, use the heredoc pattern noted below to avoid the Bash tool’s escaping.
- Release guardrails: do not change version numbers without operator’s explicit consent; always ask permission before running any npm publish/release step.
- Beta release guardrail: when using a beta Git tag (for example `vYYYY.M.D-beta.N`), publish npm with a matching beta version suffix (for example `YYYY.M.D-beta.N`) rather than a plain version on `--tag beta`; otherwise the plain version name gets consumed/blocked.
- Rebrand/migration/config warnings: run `openclaw doctor`.
- Never edit `node_modules`.
-Local-only `.agents` ignores: use `.git/info/exclude`, not repo `.gitignore`.
-CLI progress: use `src/cli/progress.ts`; status tables: `src/terminal/table.ts`.
-Provider-facing tool schemas: prefer flat string enum helpers over `Type.Union([Type.Literal(...)])`; some providers reject generated `anyOf`. Do not treat this as a repo-wide protocol/schema ban.
-External messaging surfaces: no token-delta channel messages. Follow `docs/concepts/streaming.md`; preview/block streaming uses message edits/chunks and must preserve final/fallback delivery.
- Providers/Amazon Bedrock Mantle: add Claude Opus 4.7 through Mantle's Anthropic Messages route with provider-owned bearer-auth streaming, so the model is actually callable without treating AWS bearer tokens like Anthropic API keys. Thanks @wirjo.
- OpenAI/Responses: use OpenAI's native `web_search` tool automatically for direct OpenAI Responses models when web search is enabled and no managed search provider is pinned; explicit providers such as Brave keep the managed `web_search` tool.
- ACPX: add an explicit `openClawToolsMcpBridge` option that injects a core OpenClaw MCP server for selected built-in tools, starting with `cron`.
- Agents/sessions: add mailbox-style `sessions_list` filters for label, agent, and search plus visibility-scoped derived title and last-message previews. (#69839) Thanks @dangoZhang.
- Providers/GPT-5: move the GPT-5 prompt overlay into the shared provider runtime so compatible GPT-5 models receive the same behavior and heartbeat guidance through OpenAI, OpenRouter, OpenCode, Codex, and other GPT providers; add `agents.defaults.promptOverlays.gpt5.personality` as the global friendly-style toggle while keeping the OpenAI plugin setting as a fallback.
- Providers/xAI: add image generation, text-to-speech, and speech-to-text support, including `grok-imagine-image` / `grok-imagine-image-pro`, reference-image edits, six live xAI voices, MP3/WAV/PCM/G.711 TTS formats, `grok-stt` audio transcription, and xAI realtime transcription for Voice Call streaming. (#68694) Thanks @KateWilkins.
- Providers/STT: add Voice Call streaming transcription for Deepgram, ElevenLabs, and Mistral, and add ElevenLabs Scribe v2 batch audio transcription for inbound media.
- Models/commands: add `/models add <provider> <modelId>` so you can register a model from chat and use it without restarting the gateway; keep `/models` as a simple provider browser while adding clearer add guidance and copy-friendly command examples. (#70211) Thanks @Takhoffman.
- Pi/models: update the bundled pi packages to `0.68.1` and let the OpenCode Go catalog come from pi instead of plugin-maintained model aliases, adding the refreshed `opencode-go/kimi-k2.6`, Qwen, GLM, MiMo, and MiniMax entries.
- CLI/doctor plugins: lazy-load doctor plugin paths and prefer installed plugin `dist/*` runtime entries over source-adjacent JavaScript fallbacks, reducing the measured `doctor --non-interactive` runtime by about 74% while keeping cold doctor startup on built plugin artifacts. (#69840) Thanks @gumadeiras.
- WhatsApp/groups+direct: forward per-group and per-direct `systemPrompt` config into inbound context `GroupSystemPrompt` so configured per-chat behavioral instructions are injected on every turn. Supports `"*"` wildcard fallback and account-scoped overrides under `channels.whatsapp.accounts.<id>.{groups,direct}`; account maps fully replace root maps (no deep merge), matching the existing `requireMention` pattern. Closes #7011. (#59553) Thanks @Bluetegu.
- Plugins/startup: prefer native Jiti loading for built bundled plugin dist modules on supported runtimes, cutting measured bundled plugin load time by 82-90% while keeping source TypeScript on the transform path. (#69925) Thanks @aauren.
- Plugin SDK/Pi embedded runs: add a bundled-plugin embedded extension factory seam so native plugins can extend Pi embedded runs with async runtime hooks such as `tool_result` handling instead of falling back to the older synchronous persistence path. (#69946) Thanks @vincentkoc.
- Tokenjuice: add bundled native OpenClaw support for tokenjuice as an opt-in plugin that compacts noisy `exec` and `bash` tool results in Pi embedded runs. (#69946) Thanks @vincentkoc.
- Codex harness/hooks: route native Codex app-server turns through `before_prompt_build` and emit `before_compaction` / `after_compaction` for native compaction items so prompt and compaction hooks stop drifting from Pi. Thanks @vincentkoc.
- Codex harness/plugins: add a bundled-plugin Codex app-server extension seam for async `tool_result` middleware, fire `after_tool_call` for Codex tool runs, and route mirrored Codex transcript writes through `before_message_write` so tool integrations stop diverging from Pi. Thanks @vincentkoc.
- Codex harness/hooks: fire `llm_input`, `llm_output`, and `agent_end` for native Codex app-server turns so lifecycle hooks stop drifting from Pi. Thanks @vincentkoc.
- Providers/Tencent: add the bundled Tencent Cloud provider plugin with TokenHub and Token Plan onboarding, docs, `hy3-preview` model catalog entries, and tiered Hy3 pricing metadata. (#68460) Thanks @JuniperSling.
- TUI: add local embedded mode for running terminal chats without a Gateway while keeping plugin approval gates enforced. (#66767) Thanks @fuller-stack-dev.
- CLI/Claude: default `claude-cli` runs to warm stdio sessions, including custom configs that omit transport fields, and resume from the stored Claude session after Gateway restarts or idle exits. (#69679) Thanks @obviyus.
- Control UI/settings+chat: add a browser-local personal identity for the operator (name plus local-safe avatar), route user identity rendering through the shared chat/avatar path used by assistant and agent surfaces, and tighten Quick Settings, agent fallback chips, and narrow-screen chat layouts so personalization no longer wastes space or clips controls. (#70362) Thanks @BunsDev.
- Gateway/diagnostics: enable payload-free stability recording by default and add a support-ready diagnostics export with sanitized logs, status, health, config, and stability snapshots for bug reports. (#70324) Thanks @gumadeiras.
### Fixes
- Providers/OpenAI: harden Voice Call realtime transcription against OpenAI Realtime session-update drift, forward language and prompt hints, and add live coverage for realtime STT.
- Providers/Moonshot: stop strict-sanitizing Kimi's native tool_call IDs (shaped like `functions.<name>:<index>`) on the OpenAI-compatible transport, so multi-turn agentic flows through Kimi K2.6 no longer break after 2-3 tool-calling rounds when the serving layer fails to match mangled IDs against the original tool definitions. Adds a `sanitizeToolCallIds` opt-out to the shared `openai-compatible` replay family helper and wires Moonshot to it. Fixes #62319. (#70030) Thanks @LeoDu0314.
- Dependencies/security: override transitive `uuid` to `14.0.0`, clearing the runtime advisory across dependencies.
- Codex harness: ignore dynamic tool descriptions when deciding whether to reuse a native app-server thread while still fingerprinting tool schemas, so channel-specific copy changes no longer reset otherwise compatible Codex conversations. (#69976) Thanks @chen-zhang-cs-code.
- Codex harness: drop invalid legacy app-server `serviceTier` values such as `"priority"` before native thread and turn requests, while keeping supported Codex tiers limited to `"fast"` and `"flex"`. Fixes #64815.
- Codex harness: show bounded, sanitized permission target samples in app-server approval prompts, so native permission requests keep their specific hosts, roots, and paths visible without leaking home usernames or URL credentials. (#70340) Thanks @Lucenx9.
- Docs/Codex harness: narrow native compaction docs to the current start/completion signals, without promising a readable summary or kept-entry audit list yet. (#69612) Thanks @91wan.
- Providers/Amazon Bedrock: use known context-window metadata for discovered models while keeping the unknown-model fallback conservative, so compaction and overflow handling improve for newer Bedrock models without overstating unlisted model limits. Thanks @wirjo.
- Providers/Amazon Bedrock Mantle: refresh IAM-backed bearer tokens at runtime instead of baking discovery-time tokens into provider config, so long-lived Mantle sessions keep working after the initial token ages out. Thanks @wirjo.
- Config/includes: write through single-file top-level includes for isolated OpenClaw-owned mutations, so `plugins install` and `plugins update` update an included `plugins.json5` file instead of flattening modular `$include` configs. Fixes #41050 and #66048.
- Config/reload: plan gateway reloads from source-authored config instead of runtime-materialized snapshots, so plugin update writes no longer trigger false restarts from derived provider/plugin config paths. Fixes #68732.
- Plugins/update: skip npm plugin reinstall/config rewrites when the installed version and recorded artifact identity already match the registry target, let bare npm package names resolve back to tracked install records, and point already-installed `plugins install` attempts at `plugins update` / `--force` instead of a hook-pack fallback. Fixes #46955, #67957, and #68073.
- Agents/MCP: keep `mcp.servers` and bundle MCP tools available in Pi embedded
`coding` and `messaging` sessions while preserving `minimal` profile and
`tools.deny: ["bundle-mcp"]` opt-out behavior. Fixes #68875 and #68818.
- Plugins/startup: tolerate transient bundled-channel catalog/metadata drift while auto-enabling configured plugins, so CLI and gateway startup no longer crash when a channel id is known but its display metadata is unavailable.
- CLI/Claude: report CLI-backed reply runs as streaming while Claude/Codex CLI turns are still in flight, so WebChat keeps visible response state until the backend finishes. Fixes #70125.
- Slack/streaming: fall back to normal Slack replies for Slack Connect streams rejected before the SDK flushes its local buffer, so short replies no longer disappear or report success before Slack acknowledges delivery. Fixes #70295. (#70370) Thanks @mvanhorn.
- Codex harness: rotate the shared app-server websocket client when the configured bearer token changes, so auth-token refreshes reconnect with the new `Authorization` header instead of reusing a stale socket. (#70328) Thanks @Lucenx9.
- Channels/sandbox: derive runtime policy keys for external direct messages that share the main conversation, so sandbox/tool policy no longer treats channel-originated DMs as local main-session runs.
- Config/models: merge provider-scoped model allowlist updates and protect model/provider map writes from accidental full replacement, adding `config set --merge` for additive updates and `--replace` for intentional clobbers. Fixes #65920, #68392, and #68653.
- Agents/Pi auth: preserve AWS SDK-authenticated Bedrock runs for IMDS and task-role setups, clear stale refresh timers on sentinel fallback, and log unexpected runtime-auth prep failures instead of silently leaving the provider unauthenticated. Thanks @wirjo.
- Config/gateway: restore last-known-good config on critical clobber signatures such as missing metadata, missing `gateway.mode`, or sharp size drops, preventing gateway crash loops when a valid backup exists. Fixes #70336.
- Config/gateway: recover configs accidentally prefixed with non-JSON output during gateway startup or `openclaw doctor --fix`, preserving the clobbered file as a backup while leaving normal config reads read-only.
- Agents/GitHub Copilot: normalize connection-bound Responses item IDs in the Copilot provider wrapper so replayed histories no longer fail after the upstream connection changes. (#69362) Thanks @Menci.
- Pi embedded runs: pass real built-in tools into Pi session creation and then narrow active tool names after custom tool registration, so the runner and compaction paths compile cleanly and keep OpenClaw-managed custom tool allowlists without feeding string arrays into `createAgentSession`. Thanks @vincentkoc.
- Agents/OpenAI websocket: route native OpenAI websocket metadata and session-header decisions through the shared endpoint classifier so local mocks and custom `models.providers.openai.baseUrl` endpoints stay out of the native OpenAI path consistently across embedded-runner and websocket transport code. Thanks @vincentkoc.
- Cron/MCP: retire bundled MCP runtimes through one shared cleanup path for isolated cron run ends, persistent cron session rollover, and direct cron `deleteAfterRun` fallback cleanup. Fixes #69145, #68623, and #68827.
- MCP/gateway: tear down stdio MCP process trees on transport close and dispose bundled MCP runtimes during session delete/reset, preventing orphaned wrapper/server processes from accumulating. Fixes #68809 and #69465.
- Agents/MCP: retire bundled MCP runtimes after completed one-shot subagent cleanup and nested `sessions_send` steps, while keeping persistent subagent sessions warm.
- Config: render validation warnings with real line breaks instead of a literal `\n` sequence in CLI/audit output. Fixes #70140.
- Cron/doctor: repair malformed persisted cron job IDs through `openclaw doctor`, including legacy `jobId`, non-string `id`, and missing `id` rows, so `cron list` no longer needs display-layer coercion for corrupt store data. Fixes #70128.
- Discord: normalize prefixed channel targets only at the thread-binding API boundary, so `sessions_spawn({ runtime: "acp", thread: true })` can create child threads from Discord channels without breaking current-channel ACP bindings. (#68034) Thanks @Zetarcos.
- Discord: harden inbound thread metadata handling against partial Carbon channel getters, so non-command thread messages and queued jobs no longer crash when `name`, `parentId`, `parent`, or `ownerId` requires fetched raw data.
- Discord: let `message` tool reactions resolve `user:<id>` DM targets and preserve `channels.discord.guilds.<guild>.channels.<channel>.requireMention: false` during reply-stage activation fallback. Fixes #70165 and #69441.
- Plugins/startup: pre-normalize and cache Jiti alias maps before creating plugin loaders, so module-scoped loader filenames do not reintroduce per-plugin alias-normalization startup cost. Fixes #70186.
- ACP/Codex: run the bundled Codex ACP harness with an isolated `CODEX_HOME` and avoid writing incomplete ChatGPT auth bridge files, so Codex ACP sessions no longer clobber the user's real Codex CLI auth. Fixes #70234. Thanks @Lonobers88.
- Gateway/client: keep long-running RPCs such as ACP `agent.wait` calls in charge of their own timeout instead of closing the websocket on a missed app-level tick while work is still pending.
- Telegram/webhooks: lower the grammY webhook callback timeout to 5s so Telegram gets an early 200 response instead of retrying long-running updates as read timeouts. (#70146) Thanks @friday-james.
- Telegram/polling: rebuild the polling HTTP transport after `getUpdates` 409 conflicts, so retries use a fresh TCP connection instead of looping on a Telegram-terminated keep-alive socket. (#69873) Thanks @hclsys.
- Media delivery: strip persisted base64 audio payloads from webchat history, resolve stored `media://inbound/*` attachments before local-root checks, suppress duplicate Telegram voice/audio sends when TTS emits the same media twice, and support custom image-model IDs that already include their provider prefix.
- Slack/files: resolve `downloadFile` bot tokens from the runtime config when callers provide `cfg` without an explicit token or prebuilt client, preserving cfg-only file downloads outside the action runtime path. (#70160) Thanks @martingarramon.
- Slack/HTTP: dispatch registered Request URL webhooks through the same handler registry used by Slack monitor setup, so HTTP-mode Slack events no longer 404 after successful route registration. (#70275) Thanks @FroeMic.
- Slack/runtime bindings: route focused Slack thread replies through their bound ACP session instead of preparing replies against the default agent shell. Fixes #67739. Thanks @Frankla20.
- CLI/Claude: verify stored Claude CLI session ids have a readable project transcript before resuming, clearing phantom bindings with `reason=transcript-missing` instead of silently starting fresh under `--resume`. Fixes #70177.
- CLI sessions: persist CLI session clearing through the atomic session-store merge path, so expired Claude/Codex CLI bindings are actually removed before retrying without the stale session id. (#70298) Thanks @HFConsultant.
- ACP/sessions_spawn: honor explicit `model` overrides for ACP child sessions instead of silently falling back to the target agent default model. (#70210) Thanks @felix-miao.
- Diffs/viewer: re-read remote viewer access policy from live runtime config on each request, so toggling `plugins.entries.diffs.config.security.allowRemoteViewer` closes proxied viewer access immediately instead of waiting for a restart. Thanks @vincentkoc.
- Diffs/tooling: re-read `viewerBaseUrl`, presentation defaults, and viewer access policy from live runtime config, and fail closed when the live `diffs` plugin entry disappears instead of reviving startup viewer settings. Thanks @vincentkoc.
- Memory/LanceDB: stop resurrecting removed live `memory-lancedb` hook config from startup snapshots, so deleting or disabling the plugin entry shuts off auto-recall and auto-capture without a restart. Thanks @vincentkoc.
- Active Memory: stop reviving removed live `active-memory` config from startup snapshots, so removing the plugin entry turns the hook off immediately instead of waiting for a restart. Thanks @vincentkoc.
- Agents/subagents: drop bare `NO_REPLY` from the parent turn when the session still has pending spawned children, so direct-conversation surfaces such as Telegram DMs no longer rewrite the sentinel into visible fallback chatter while waiting for the child completion event. (#69942) Thanks @neeravmakwana.
- Plugins/install: keep bundled plugin dependencies off npm install while repairing them when plugins activate from a packaged install, including Feishu/Lark, Browser, and direct bundled channel setup-entry loads.
- CLI/channels: skip and cache bundled channel plugin, setup, and secrets load failures during read-only discovery, so one broken unused bundled channel cannot crash `openclaw status` or bootstrap secret scans.
- Memory/LanceDB: retry initialization after a failed LanceDB load and report unsupported Intel macOS native runtime clearly instead of caching the failure or repeatedly attempting an install that cannot work.
- CLI/Claude: hash only static extra system prompt parts when deciding whether to reuse a CLI session, so per-message inbound metadata no longer resets Claude CLI conversations on every turn. (#70122) Thanks @zijunl.
- Hooks/Slack: standardize shared message hook routing fields (`threadId` / `replyToId`) and stop Slack outbound delivery from re-running `message_sending` inside the channel adapter, so plugins like thread-ownership make one outbound routing decision per reply. Thanks @vincentkoc.
- Auto-reply/media: share one run-scoped reply media context between streamed block delivery and final payload filtering, so a local `MEDIA:` attachment is staged once and duplicate media sends are suppressed reliably. (#68111) Thanks @ayeshakhalid192007-dev.
- Plugins/gateway hooks: expose startup config, workspace dir, and a live cron getter on the typed `gateway_start` hook, and move memory-core managed dreaming off the internal `gateway:startup` bridge so cron reconciliation stays on the public plugin hook path. Thanks @vincentkoc.
- Plugins/config: read plugin trust decisions from the source config snapshot when a resolved runtime snapshot is active, so `plugins.allow` remains enforced and `doctor`/gateway startup no longer warn that the allowlist is empty when it is configured. Fixes #70161. Also fixes #70141.
- Gateway/restart: preserve group and channel chat context when resuming an agent turn after a Gateway restart, so continuation replies keep the same prompt, routing, and tool-status behavior as the original conversation.
- Gateway/pairing: shared-secret loopback CLI clients now silently auto-approve `metadata-upgrade` pairing (platform / device family refresh) instead of being disconnected with `1008 pairing required`. This matches the scope-upgrade and role-upgrade behavior added in #69431 and unblocks non-interactive CLI automation when a paired-device record has a stale platform string (e.g. device key replicated across hosts, install migrated between OSes, or platform-string format changed between OpenClaw versions). Browser / Control-UI clients keep the existing approval-required flow for metadata changes.
- Gateway/pairing: treat any forwarded-header evidence (`Forwarded`, `X-Forwarded-*`, or `X-Real-IP`) as proxied WebSocket traffic before pairing locality checks, so reverse-proxy topologies cannot use the loopback shared-secret helper auto-pairing path.
- Agents/OpenAI: treat exact `NO_REPLY` assistant output as a deliberate silent reply in embedded runs, so GPT-5.4 turns with signed reasoning plus a silent final no longer surface a false incomplete-turn error.
- Auto-reply/streaming: preserve streamed reply directives through chunk boundaries and phase-aware `final_answer` delivery, so split `MEDIA:<path>` lines, voice tags, and reply targets reach channel delivery instead of leaking as text or being dropped. (#70243) Thanks @zqchris.
- Anthropic/Claude Opus 4.7: normalize Opus 4.7 and `claude-cli` Opus 4.7 variants to a 1M context window in resolved runtime metadata and active-agent status/context reporting, so they no longer inherit the stale 200k fallback. Thanks @BunsDev.
- Gateway/pairing webchat: render `/pair qr` replies as structured media instead of raw markdown text, preserve inline reply threading and silent-control handling on media replies, avoid persisting sensitive QR images into transcript history, and keep local webchat media embedding behind internal-only trust markers. (#70047) Thanks @BunsDev.
- Codex harness: default app-server runs to unchained local execution, so OpenAI heartbeats can use network and shell tools without stalling behind native Codex approvals or the workspace-write sandbox.
- Codex harness: fail closed for unknown native app-server approval methods instead of routing unsupported future approval shapes through OpenClaw approval grants. (#70356) Thanks @Lucenx9.
- Codex harness: apply the GPT-5 behavior and heartbeat prompt overlay to native Codex app-server runs, so `codex/gpt-5.x` sessions get the same follow-through, tool-use, and proactive heartbeat guidance as OpenAI GPT-5 runs.
- Codex harness: add an explicit Guardian mode for Codex app-server approvals, plus a Docker live probe for approved and ask-back Guardian decisions, while keeping default app-server runs unchained for unattended local heartbeats. The legacy `OPENCLAW_CODEX_APP_SERVER_GUARDIAN` shortcut is removed; use plugin config `appServer.mode: "guardian"` or `OPENCLAW_CODEX_APP_SERVER_MODE=guardian`. Thanks @pashpashpash.
- OpenAI/Responses: keep embedded OpenAI Responses runs on HTTP when `models.providers.openai.baseUrl` points at a local mock or other non-public endpoint, so mocked/custom endpoints no longer drift onto the hardcoded public websocket transport. (#69815) Thanks @vincentkoc.
- Channels/config: require resolved runtime config on channel send/action/client helpers and block runtime helper `loadConfig()` calls, so SecretRefs are resolved at startup/boundaries instead of being re-read during sends.
- Discord: pass resolved runtime config through guild and moderation action helpers, so thread-originated Discord commands can run channel, member, role, and guild actions without falling back to runtime config reads. (#70215) Thanks @szponeczek.
- CLI/channels: preserve bundled setup promotion metadata when a loaded partial channel plugin omits it, so adding a non-default account still moves legacy single-account fields such as Telegram `streaming` into `accounts.default`.
- Telegram: keep the sent-message ownership cache isolated per configured session store, so own-message reaction filtering remains correct with custom `session.store` paths.
- Security/update: fail closed when exact pinned npm plugin or hook-pack updates detect integrity drift, and expose aborted plugin drift details in `openclaw update --json`.
- Ollama: forward OpenClaw thinking control to native `/api/chat` requests as top-level `think`, so `/think off` and `openclaw agent --thinking off` suppress thinking on models such as qwen3 instead of idling until the watchdog fires. Fixes #69902. (#69967) Thanks @WZH8898.
- Memory-core/dreaming: suppress the startup-only managed dreaming cron unavailable warning when the cron service is still attaching, while preserving the runtime warning if cron genuinely remains unavailable. Fixes #69939. (#69941) Thanks @Sanjays2402.
- Mattermost: suppress reasoning-only payloads even when they arrive as blockquoted `> Reasoning:` text, preventing `/reasoning on` from leaking thinking into channel posts. (#69927) Thanks @lawrence3699.
- Discord: read `channel.parentId` through a safe accessor in the slash-command, reaction, and model-picker paths so partial `GuildThreadChannel` prototype getters no longer throw `Cannot access rawData on partial Channel` when commands like `/new` run from inside a thread. Fixes #69861. (#69908) Thanks @neeravmakwana.
- Discord: use safe channel name and parent accessors across voice command authorization, so `/vc` commands from partial Discord thread channels no longer crash on Carbon rawData getters. (#70199) Thanks @hanamizuki.
- Discord: make auto-thread parent transcript inheritance opt-in via `channels.discord.thread.inheritParent`, keeping newly created Discord thread sessions isolated by default while preserving explicit inheritance for configured accounts. Fixes #69907. (#69986) Thanks @Blahdude.
- Browser/Chrome MCP: reset cached existing-session control sessions when a `navigate_page` call times out, so one stuck navigation no longer poisons the browser profile until a gateway restart. (#69733) Thanks @ayeshakhalid192007-dev.
- Browser/Chrome MCP: propagate click timeouts and abort signals to existing-session actions so a stuck click fails fast and reconnects instead of poisoning the browser tool until gateway restart. (#63524) Thanks @dongseok0.
- Amazon Bedrock/prompt caching: resolve opaque application inference profile targets before injecting Bedrock cache points, require every routed target to support explicit cache points, and retry transient profile lookups instead of caching a false negative for the rest of the process. (#69953) Thanks @anirudhmarc and @vincentkoc.
- Gateway/channel health: base stale-socket recovery on provider-proven transport activity instead of inbound app-event freshness, preventing quiet Slack, Discord, Telegram, Matrix, and local-style channels from being restarted solely because no user traffic arrived. (#69833) Thanks @bek91.
- OpenCode Go: canonicalize stale bundled `opencode-go` base URLs from `/go` or `/go/v1` to `/zen/go` or `/zen/go/v1`, so older generated model metadata stops hitting the 404 HTML endpoint. (#69898)
- CLI/channels: honor `channels.<id>.enabled=false` as a hard read-only presence opt-out, so env vars, manifest env vars, or stale persisted auth state no longer make disabled channel plugins appear in status, doctor, or setup-only discovery.
- Channels/preview streaming: centralize draft-preview finalization so Slack, Discord, Mattermost, and Matrix no longer flush temporary preview messages for media/error finals, and preserve first-reply threading for normal fallback delivery.
- Discord: keep slash command follow-up chunks ephemeral when the command is configured for ephemeral replies, so long `/status` output no longer leaks fallback model or runtime details into the public channel. (#69869) thanks @gumadeiras.
- Gateway/session history: re-check current auth and `chat.history` scope before later SSE keepalives and transcript updates, so active session-history streams close before delivering post-revocation events.
- Plugins/discovery: reject package plugin source entries that escape the package directory before explicit runtime entries or inferred built JavaScript peers can be used. (#69868) thanks @gumadeiras.
- CLI/channels: resolve channel presence through a shared policy that keeps ambient env vars and stale persisted auth from surfacing disabled bundled plugins in status, doctor, security audit, and cron delivery validation unless the channel or plugin is effectively enabled or explicitly configured. (#69862) Thanks @gumadeiras.
- Doctor/plugins: hydrate legacy partial interactive handler state before plugin reload clears dedupe caches, so `openclaw doctor` and post-update doctor runs no longer crash with `Cannot read properties of undefined (reading 'clear')`. (#70135) Thanks @ngutman.
- Control UI/config: preserve intentionally empty raw config snapshots when clearing pending updates so reset restores the original bytes instead of synthesizing JSON for blank config files. (#68178) Thanks @BunsDev.
- memory-core/dreaming: surface a `Dreaming status: blocked` line in `openclaw memory status` when dreaming is enabled but the heartbeat that drives the managed cron is not firing for the default agent, and add a Troubleshooting section to the dreaming docs covering the two common causes (per-agent `heartbeat` blocks excluding `main`, and `heartbeat.every` set to `0`/empty/invalid), so the silent failure described in #69843 becomes legible on the status surface.
- Cron/run-log: report generic `message` tool sends under the resolved delivery channel when they match the cron target, while preserving account-specific mismatch checks for delivery traces. (#69940) Thanks @davehappyminion.
- Doctor/channels: merge configured-channel doctor hooks across read-only, loaded, setup, and runtime plugin discovery so partial adapters no longer hide runtime-only compatibility repair or allowlist warnings, preserve disabled-channel opt-outs, and ignore malformed hook values before they can mask valid fallbacks. (#69919) Thanks @gumadeiras.
- Models/CLI: show bundled provider-owned static catalog rows in `models list --all` before auth is configured, including Kimi K2.6 rows for Moonshot, OpenRouter, and Vercel AI Gateway, while keeping local-only and workspace plugin catalog paths isolated. (#69909) Thanks @shakkernerd.
- Configure: skip generic CLI startup bootstrap for `openclaw configure` and bound hint-only gateway probes so the onboarding TUI reaches its first prompt faster when the Gateway is unavailable. (#69984) Thanks @obviyus.
- Agents/harness: surface selected plugin harness failures directly instead of replaying the same turn through embedded PI, preventing misleading secondary PI auth errors and avoiding duplicate side effects.
- OpenAI Codex: add a ChatGPT device-code auth option beside browser OAuth, so headless or callback-hostile setups can sign in without relying on the localhost browser callback. (#69557) Thanks @vincentkoc.
- CLI sessions: keep provider-owned CLI sessions through implicit daily expiry while preserving explicit reset behavior, and retain Claude CLI binding metadata across gateway agent requests. (#70106) Thanks @obviyus.
- CLI/Claude: keep Claude CLI session bindings stable across OAuth access-token refreshes, so gateway restarts continue the same Claude conversation instead of minting a fresh one. (#70132) Thanks @obviyus.
- QQBot: add `INTERACTION` intent (`1 << 26`) to the gateway constants and include it in the `FULL_INTENTS` mask so interaction events are received. (#70143) Thanks @cxyhhhhh.
- Gateway/restart: preserve one-shot continuation instructions across gateway restarts so agents can resume and reply back to the original chat after reboot. (#63406) Thanks @VACInc.
- Gateway/restart: write restart sentinel files atomically so interrupted writes cannot leave a truncated sentinel behind. (#70225) Thanks @obviyus.
- Pairing: remove stale pending requests for a device when that paired device is deleted, so an old repair approval cannot recreate the removed device from leftover state.
- Security/dotenv: block workspace `.env` overrides for Matrix, Mattermost, IRC, and Synology endpoint settings so cloned workspaces cannot redirect bundled connector traffic through local endpoint config. (#70240) Thanks @drobison00.
- Telegram: require the same `/models` authorization for group model-picker callbacks, so unauthorized participants can no longer browse or change the session model through inline buttons. (#70235) Thanks @drobison00.
- Agents/Pi: keep the filtered tool-name allowlist active for embedded OpenAI/OpenAI Codex GPT-5 runs and compaction sessions, so bundled and client tools still execute after the Pi `0.68.1` session-tool allowlist change instead of stopping at plan-only replies with no tool call. (#70281) Thanks @jalehman.
- Agents/Pi: honor explicit `strict-agentic` execution contracts for incomplete-turn retry guards across providers, so manually opted-in local or compatible models get the same retry behavior without relying on OpenAI model inference. (#66750) Thanks @ziomancer.
- OpenShell/sandbox: pin verified file reads to an already-opened descriptor, walk the ancestor chain for symlinked parents on platforms without fd-path readlink, and re-check file identity so parent symlink swaps cannot redirect in-sandbox reads to host files outside the allowed mount root. (#69798) Thanks @drobison00.
- Gateway/Control UI: require authenticated Control UI read access before serving `/__openclaw/control-ui-config.json` when `gateway.auth` is enabled, so unauthenticated callers can no longer read bootstrap metadata. (#70247) Thanks @drobison00.
## 2026.4.21
### Changes
- OpenAI/images: default the bundled image-generation provider and live media smoke tests to `gpt-image-2`, and advertise the newer 2K/4K OpenAI size hints in image-generation docs and tool metadata.
- Plugins/skills: add the Skill Workshop plugin, which captures reusable workflow corrections as pending or auto-applied workspace skills, runs threshold-based reviewer passes for stronger completion bias on reusable procedures, quarantines unsafe proposals, and refreshes skill availability after safe writes.
- Plugin SDK/channels: add presentation and skills runtime contracts, decouple channel presentation rendering, and document message presentation cards so plugins can own richer interactive surfaces without channel-specific glue.
- Fireworks/models: add Kimi K2.6 (`fireworks/accounts/fireworks/models/kimi-k2p6`) to the bundled catalog and live-model priority list, while keeping Kimi thinking disabled for Fireworks K2.6 requests.
- Onboard/wizard: simplify the security disclaimer copy, and switch remaining onboarding pickers with long dynamic option lists to searchable autocompletes for search providers, plugin configuration, and model provider filtering.
- Channels/preview streaming: stream tool-progress updates into live preview edits for Discord, Slack, and Telegram so in-flight replies show incremental tool state in the same preview message before finalization. (#69611) Thanks @thewilloftheshadow.
- Ollama/onboard: populate the cloud-only model list from `ollama.com/api/tags`, cap the discovered list at 500, and fall back to static suggestions when ollama.com is unavailable. (#68463) Thanks @BruceMacD.
- QQBot: extract a self-contained engine architecture with QR-code onboarding, native approval handling via `/bot-approve`, per-account resource stacks, credential backup/restore, shared media storage, and unified API/bridge/gateway modules. (#67960) Thanks @cxyhhhhh.
- Matrix/startup: narrow Matrix runtime registration and defer setup/doctor surfaces so cold plugin registration spends about 1.8s less in `setChannelRuntime`. (#69782) Thanks @gumadeiras.
- Telegram/plugin startup: load Telegram's bundled runtime setter through a narrow sidecar and native built-sidecar loading, cutting measured setup-runtime registration by about 14s while preserving runtime API compatibility. (#69786) Thanks @gumadeiras.
- Discord/plugin startup: lazy-load the Carbon UI runtime and load Discord's bundled runtime setter through a narrow sidecar, cutting measured registration time by about 98% while keeping packaged installs off Carbon until the Discord UI surface is needed. (#69791) Thanks @gumadeiras.
### Fixes
- Agents/ACP: skip the `sessions_send` A2A ping-pong flow when a parent sends to its own background oneshot ACP child, preventing parent/child echo loops while preserving normal A2A delivery for non-parent senders. (#69817) Thanks @scotthuang.
- Image generation: log failed provider/model candidates at warn level before automatic provider fallback, so OpenAI image failures are visible in the gateway log even when a later provider succeeds.
- Agents/subagents: stop terminal failed subagent runs from freezing or announcing captured reply text, so failover-exhausted runs report a clean failure instead of replaying stale assistant/tool output.
- Security/external content: strip common self-hosted LLM chat-template special-token literals, including Qwen/ChatML, Llama, Gemma, Mistral, Phi, and GPT-OSS markers, from wrapped external content and metadata, preventing tokenizer-layer role-boundary spoofing against OpenAI-compatible backends that preserve special tokens in user text.
- npm/install: mirror the `node-domexception` alias into root `package.json``overrides`, so npm installs stop surfacing the deprecated `google-auth-library -> gaxios -> node-fetch -> fetch-blob -> node-domexception` chain pulled through Pi/Google runtime deps. Thanks @vincentkoc.
- Auth/commands: require owner identity (an owner-candidate match or internal `operator.admin`) for owner-enforced commands instead of treating wildcard channel `allowFrom` or empty owner-candidate lists as sufficient, so non-owner senders can no longer reach owner-only commands through a permissive fallback when `enforceOwnerForCommands=true` and `commands.ownerAllowFrom` is unset. (#69774) Thanks @drobison00.
- Control UI/CSP: tighten `img-src` to `'self' data:` only, and make Control UI avatar helpers drop remote `http(s)` and protocol-relative URLs so the UI falls back to the built-in logo/badge instead of issuing arbitrary remote image fetches. Same-origin avatar routes (relative paths) and `data:image/...` avatars still render. (#69773)
- CLI/channels: keep `status`, `health`, `channels list`, and `channels status` on read-only channel metadata when Telegram, Slack, Discord, or third-party channel plugins are configured, avoiding full bundled plugin runtime imports on those cold paths. Fixes #69042. (#69479) Thanks @gumadeiras.
- Synology Chat: validate outbound webhook `file_url` values against the shared SSRF policy before forwarding to the NAS, rejecting malformed URLs, non-`http(s)` schemes, and private/blocked network targets so the NAS cannot be used as a confused deputy to fetch internal addresses. (#69784) Thanks @eleqtrizit.
- LINE: validate outbound media URLs against the shared public-network guard before handing them to LINE, preserving arbitrary public HTTPS media while rejecting loopback, link-local, and private-network targets.
- Gateway/Control UI: require gateway auth on the Control UI avatar route (`GET /avatar/<agentId>` and `?meta=1` metadata) when auth is configured, matching the sibling assistant-media route, and propagate the existing gateway token through the UI avatar fetch (bearer header + authenticated blob URL) so authenticated dashboards still load local avatars. (#69775)
- Google Chat/auth: replace the Google auth `gaxios` shim with a scoped SSRF-guarded transport, validate service-account auth endpoints against trusted Google URLs, and let the plugin own its staged `gaxios` auth runtime instead of patching process-wide globals or the root CLI startup path. Thanks @vincentkoc.
- Exec/allowlist: reject POSIX parameter expansion forms such as `$VAR`, `$?`, `$$`, `$1`, and `$@` inside unquoted heredocs during shell approval analysis, so these heredocs no longer pass allowlist review as plain text. (#69795) Thanks @drobison00.
- Gateway/MCP loopback: derive owner-only tool visibility from distinct authenticated owner vs non-owner loopback bearers instead of the caller-controlled owner header, so non-owner MCP child processes cannot recover owner access by spoofing request metadata. (#69796)
- GitHub Copilot: update the default Opus model from `claude-opus-4.6` to `claude-opus-4.7` after GitHub removed Copilot support for 4.6. (#69818) Thanks @shakkernerd.
- OpenShell: pin host-side sandbox writes under the mounted root so symlink-parent rebinds cannot redirect `writeFile` outside the workspace during local mirror updates. (#69797) Thanks @drobison00.
- Ollama/media understanding: register Ollama as an image-capable media-understanding provider so `agents.defaults.imageModel.primary` values like `ollama/qwen2.5vl:7b` route through the Ollama plugin instead of failing as unknown models. (#69816) Thanks @soloclz.
- CLI/media understanding: make `openclaw infer image describe --model <provider/model>` execute the explicit image model instead of skipping description when that model supports native vision.
- Usage/providers: keep plugin-owned usage auth enabled when manifest-declared provider auth env vars such as `MINIMAX_CODE_PLAN_KEY` are present, so `/usage` can resolve MiniMax billing credentials through the provider plugin.
- Tlon/uploads: route both hosted Memex upload targets and custom-S3 presigned upload URLs through the shared SSRF guard so blocked private or loopback destinations fail before upload, while public upload URLs continue through the existing hosted upload flow. (#69794) Thanks @drobison00.
- Channels/thread routing: keep outbound replies in existing Slack, Mattermost, Matrix, Telegram, Discord, and QA-channel thread sessions by sharing the Plugin SDK thread-aware route builder across bundled plugins.
- Agents/replay: normalize restored assistant text content before provider replay and prompt submission, so legacy or repaired sessions no longer crash on `assistantMsg.content.flatMap`. (#69850) Thanks @fuller-stack-dev.
## 2026.4.20
### Changes
- Onboard/wizard: restyle the setup security disclaimer with a single yellow warning banner, section headings and bulleted checklists, and un-dim the note body so key guidance is easy to scan; add a loading spinner during the initial model catalog load so the wizard no longer goes blank while it runs; add an "API key" placeholder to provider API key prompts. (#69553) Thanks @Patrick-Erichsen.
- Agents/prompts: strengthen the default system prompt and OpenAI GPT-5 overlay with clearer completion bias, live-state checks, weak-result recovery, and verification-before-final guidance.
- Models/costs: support tiered model pricing from cached catalogs and configured models, and include bundled Moonshot Kimi K2.6/K2.5 cost estimates for token-usage reports. (#67605) Thanks @sliverp.
- Sessions/Maintenance: enforce the built-in entry cap and age prune by default, and prune oversized stores at load time so accumulated cron/executor session backlogs cannot OOM the gateway before the write path runs. (#69404) Thanks @bobrenze-bot.
- Plugins/tests: reuse plugin loader alias and Jiti config resolution across repeated same-context loads, reducing import-heavy test overhead. (#69316) Thanks @amknight.
- Cron: split runtime execution state into `jobs-state.json` so `jobs.json` stays stable for git-tracked job definitions. (#63105) Thanks @Feelw00.
- Agents/compaction: send opt-in start and completion notices during context compaction. (#67830) Thanks @feniix.
- Moonshot/Kimi: default bundled Moonshot setup, web search, and media-understanding surfaces to `kimi-k2.6` while keeping `kimi-k2.5` available for compatibility. (#69477) Thanks @scoootscooob.
- Moonshot/Kimi: allow `thinking.keep = "all"` on `moonshot/kimi-k2.6`, and strip it for other Moonshot models or requests where pinned `tool_choice` disables thinking. (#68816) Thanks @aniaan.
- BlueBubbles/groups: forward per-group `systemPrompt` config into inbound context `GroupSystemPrompt` so configured group-specific behavioral instructions (for example threaded-reply and tapback conventions) are injected on every turn. Supports `"*"` wildcard fallback matching the existing `requireMention` pattern. Closes #60665. (#69198) Thanks @omarshahine.
- Plugins/tasks: add a detached runtime registration contract so plugin executors can own detached task lifecycle and cancellation without reaching into core task internals. (#68915) Thanks @mbelinky.
- Terminal/logging: optimize `sanitizeForLog()` by replacing the iterative control-character stripping loop with a single regex pass while preserving the existing ANSI-first sanitization behavior. (#67205) Thanks @bulutmuf.
- QA/CI: make `openclaw qa suite` and `openclaw qa telegram` fail by default when scenarios fail, add `--allow-failures` for artifact-only runs, and tighten live-lane defaults for CI automation. (#69122) Thanks @joshavant.
- Mattermost: stream thinking, tool activity, and partial reply text into a single draft preview post that finalizes in place when safe. (#47838) thanks @ninjaa.
### Fixes
- Exec/YOLO: stop rejecting gateway-host exec in `security=full` plus `ask=off` mode via the Python/Node script preflight hardening path, so promptless YOLO exec once again runs direct interpreter stdin and heredoc forms such as `node <<'NODE' ... NODE`.
- OpenAI Codex: normalize legacy `openai-completions` transport overrides on default OpenAI/Codex and GitHub Copilot-compatible hosts back to the native Codex Responses transport while leaving custom proxies untouched. (#45304, #42194) Thanks @dyss1992 and @DeadlySilent.
- Anthropic/plugins: scope Anthropic `api: "anthropic-messages"` defaulting to Anthropic-owned providers, so `openai-codex` and other providers without an explicit `api` no longer get rewritten to the wrong transport. Fixes #64534.
- fix(qqbot): add SSRF guard to direct-upload URL paths in uploadC2CMedia and uploadGroupMedia [AI-assisted]. (#69595) Thanks @pgondhi987.
- Browser/Chrome MCP: surface `DevToolsActivePort` attach failures as browser-connectivity errors instead of a generic "waiting for tabs" timeout, and point signed-out fallbacks toward the managed `openclaw` profile.
- Webchat/images: treat inline image attachments as media for empty-turn gating while still ignoring metadata-only blank turns. (#69474) Thanks @Jaswir.
- Discord/think: only show `adaptive` in `/think` autocomplete for provider/model pairs that actually support provider-managed adaptive thinking, so GPT/OpenAI models no longer advertise an Anthropic-only option.
- Thinking: only expose `max` for models that explicitly support provider max reasoning, and remap stored `max` settings to the largest supported thinking mode when users switch to another model.
- Gateway/usage: bound the cost usage cache with FIFO eviction so date/range lookups cannot grow unbounded. (#68842) Thanks @Feelw00.
- OpenAI/Responses: resolve `/think` levels against each GPT model's supported reasoning efforts so `/think off` no longer becomes high reasoning or sends unsupported `reasoning.effort: "none"` payloads.
- Lobster/TaskFlow: allow managed approval resumes to use `approvalId` without a resume token, and persist that id in approval wait state. (#69559) Thanks @kirkluokun.
- Plugins/startup: install bundled runtime dependencies into each plugin's own runtime directory, reuse source-checkout repair caches after rebuilds, and log only packages that were actually installed so repeated Gateway starts stay quiet once deps are present.
- Plugins/startup: ignore pnpm's `npm_execpath` when repairing bundled plugin runtime dependencies and skip workspace-only package specs so npm-only install flags or local workspace links do not break packaged plugin startup.
- MCP: block interpreter-startup env keys such as `NODE_OPTIONS` for stdio servers while preserving ordinary credential and proxy env vars. (#69540) Thanks @drobison00.
- Agents/shell: ignore non-interactive placeholder shells like `/usr/bin/false` and `/sbin/nologin`, falling back to `sh` so service-user exec runs no longer exit immediately. (#69308) Thanks @sk7n4k3d.
- Setup/TUI: relaunch the setup hatch TUI in a fresh process while preserving the configured gateway target and auth source, so onboarding recovers terminal state cleanly without exposing gateway secrets on command-line args. (#69524) Thanks @shakkernerd.
- Codex: avoid re-exposing the image-generation tool on native vision turns with inbound images, and keep bare image-model overrides on the configured image provider. (#65061) Thanks @zhulijin1991.
- Sessions/reset: clear auto-sourced model, provider, and auth-profile overrides on `/new` and `/reset` while preserving explicit user selections, so channel sessions stop staying pinned to runtime fallback choices. (#69419) Thanks @sk7n4k3d.
- Sessions/costs: snapshot `estimatedCostUsd` like token counters so repeated persist paths no longer compound the same run cost by up to dozens of times. (#69403) Thanks @MrMiaigi.
- OpenAI Codex: route ChatGPT/Codex OAuth Responses requests through the `/backend-api/codex` endpoint so `openai-codex/gpt-5.4` no longer hits the removed `/backend-api/responses` alias. (#69336) Thanks @mzogithub.
- OpenAI/Responses: omit disabled reasoning payloads when `/think off` is active, so GPT reasoning models no longer receive unsupported `reasoning.effort: "none"` requests. (#61982) Thanks @a-tokyo.
- Gateway/pairing: treat loopback shared-secret node-host, TUI, and gateway clients as local for pairing decisions, so trusted local tools no longer reconnect as remote clients and fail with `pairing required`. (#69431) Thanks @SARAMALI15792.
- Active Memory: degrade gracefully when memory recall fails during prompt building, logging a warning and letting the reply continue without memory context instead of failing the whole turn. (#69485) Thanks @Magicray1217.
- Ollama: add provider-policy defaults for `baseUrl` and `models` so implicit local discovery can run before config validation rejects a minimal Ollama provider config. (#69370) Thanks @PratikRai0101.
- Agents/model selection: clear transient auto-failover session overrides before each turn so recovered primary models are retried immediately without emitting user-override reset warnings. (#69365) Thanks @hitesh-github99.
- Auto-reply: apply silent `NO_REPLY` policy per conversation type, so direct chats get a helpful rewritten reply while groups and internal deliveries can remain quiet. (#68644) Thanks @Takhoffman.
- Telegram/status reactions: honor `messages.removeAckAfterReply` when lifecycle status reactions are enabled, clearing or restoring the reaction after success/error using the configured hold timings. (#68067) Thanks @poiskgit.
- Web search/plugins: resolve plugin-scoped SecretRef API keys for bundled Exa, Firecrawl, Gemini, Kimi, Perplexity, Tavily, and Grok web-search providers when they are selected through the shared web-search config. (#68424) Thanks @afurm.
- Telegram/polling: raise the default polling watchdog threshold from 90s to 120s and add configurable `channels.telegram.pollingStallThresholdMs` (also per-account) so long-running Telegram work gets more room before polling is treated as stalled. (#57737) Thanks @Vitalcheffe.
- Telegram/polling: bound the persisted-offset confirmation `getUpdates` probe with a client-side timeout so a zombie socket cannot hang polling recovery before the runner watchdog starts. (#50368) Thanks @boticlaw.
- Agents/Pi runner: retry silent `stopReason=error` turns with no output when no side effects ran, so non-frontier providers that briefly return empty error turns get another chance instead of ending the session early. (#68310) Thanks @Chased1k.
- Plugins/memory: preserve the active memory capability when read-only snapshot plugin loads run, so status and provider discovery paths no longer wipe memory public artifacts. (#69219) Thanks @zeroaltitude.
- Plugins: keep only the highest-precedence manifest when distinct discovered plugins share an id, so lower-precedence global or workspace duplicates no longer load beside bundled or config-selected plugins. (#41626) Thanks @Tortes.
- Cron/delivery: treat explicit `delivery.mode: "none"` runs as not requested even if the runner reports `delivered: false`, so no-delivery cron jobs no longer persist false delivery failures or errors. (#69285) Thanks @matsuri1987.
- Plugins/install: repair active and default-enabled bundled plugin runtime dependencies before import in packaged installs, so bundled Discord, WhatsApp, Slack, Telegram, and provider plugins work without putting their dependency trees in core.
- BlueBubbles: raise the outbound `/api/v1/message/text` send timeout default from 10s to 30s, and add a configurable `channels.bluebubbles.sendTimeoutMs` (also per-account) so macOS 26 setups where Private API iMessage sends stall for 60+ seconds no longer silently lose messages at the 10s abort. Probes, chat lookups, and health checks keep the shorter 10s default. Fixes #67486. (#69193) Thanks @omarshahine.
- Agents/bootstrap: budget truncation markers against per-file caps, preserve source content instead of silently wasting bootstrap bytes, and avoid marker-only output in tiny-budget truncation cases. (#69114) Thanks @BKF-Gitty.
- Context engine/plugins: stop rejecting third-party context engines whose `info.id` differs from the registered plugin slot id. The strict-match contract added in 2026.4.14 broke `lossless-claw` and other plugins whose internal engine id does not equal the slot id they are registered under, producing repeated `info.id must match registered id` lane failures on every turn. Fixes #66601. (#66678) Thanks @GodsBoy.
- Agents/compaction: rename embedded Pi compaction lifecycle events to `compaction_start` / `compaction_end` so OpenClaw stays aligned with `pi-coding-agent` 0.66.1 event naming. (#67713) Thanks @mpz4life.
- Security/dotenv: block all `OPENCLAW_*` keys from untrusted workspace `.env` files so workspace-local env loading fails closed for new runtime-control variables instead of silently inheriting them. (#473)
- Gateway/device pairing: restrict non-admin paired-device sessions (device-token auth) to their own pairing list, approve, and reject actions so a paired device cannot enumerate other devices or approve/reject pairing requests authored by another device. Admin and shared-secret operator sessions retain full visibility. (#69375) Thanks @eleqtrizit.
- Agents/gateway tool: extend the agent-facing `gateway` tool's config mutation guard so model-driven `config.patch` and `config.apply` cannot rewrite operator-trusted paths (sandbox, plugin trust, gateway auth/TLS, hook routing and tokens, SSRF policy, MCP servers, workspace filesystem hardening) and cannot bypass the guard by editing per-agent sandbox, tools, or embedded-Pi overrides in place under `agents.list[]`. (#69377) Thanks @eleqtrizit.
- Gateway/websocket broadcasts: require `operator.read` (or higher) for chat, agent, and tool-result event frames so pairing-scoped and node-role sessions no longer passively receive session chat content, and scope-gate unknown broadcast events by default. Plugin-defined `plugin.*` broadcasts are scoped to operator.write/admin, and status/transport events (`heartbeat`, `presence`, `tick`, etc.) remain unrestricted. Per-client sequence numbers preserve per-connection monotonicity. (#69373) Thanks @eleqtrizit.
- Agents/compaction: always reload embedded Pi resources through an explicit loader and reapply reserve-token overrides so runs without extension factories no longer silently lose compaction settings before session start. (#67146) Thanks @ly85206559.
- Memory-core/dreaming: normalize sweep timestamps and reuse hashed narrative session keys for fallback cleanup so Dreaming narrative sub-sessions stop leaking. (#67023) Thanks @chiyouYCH.
- Gateway/startup: delay HTTP bind until websocket handlers are attached, so immediate post-startup websocket health/connect probes no longer hit the startup race window. (#43392) Thanks @dalefrieswthat.
- Codex/app-server: release the session lane when a downstream consumer throws while draining the `turn/completed` notification, so follow-up messages after a Codex plugin reply stop queueing behind a stale lane lock. Fixes #67996. (#69072) Thanks @ayeshakhalid192007-dev.
- Codex/app-server: default approval handling to `on-request` so Codex harness sessions do not start with overly permissive tool approvals. (#68721) Thanks @Lucenx9.
- Cron/delivery: keep isolated cron chat delivery tools available, resolve `channel: "last"` targets from the gateway, show delivery previews in `cron list/show`, and avoid duplicate fallback sends after direct message-tool delivery. (#69587) Thanks @obviyus.
- Cron/Telegram: key isolated direct-delivery dedupe to each cron execution instead of the reused session id, so recurring Telegram announce runs no longer report delivered while silently skipping later sends. (#69000) Thanks @obviyus.
- Models/Kimi: default bundled Kimi thinking to off and normalize Anthropic-compatible `thinking` payloads so stale session `/think` state no longer silently re-enables reasoning on Kimi runs. (#68907) Thanks @frankekn.
- Control UI/cron: keep the runtime-only `last` delivery sentinel from being materialized into persisted cron delivery and failure-alert channel configs when jobs are created or edited. (#68829) Thanks @tianhaocui.
- OpenAI/Responses: strip orphaned reasoning blocks before outbound Responses API calls so compacted or restored histories no longer fail on standalone reasoning items. (#55787) Thanks @suboss87.
- Cron/CLI: parse PowerShell-style `--tools` allow-lists the same way as comma-separated input, so `cron add` and `cron edit` no longer persist `exec read write` as one combined tool entry on Windows. (#68858) Thanks @chen-zhang-cs-code.
- Browser/user-profile: let existing-session `profile="user"` tool calls auto-route to a connected browser node or use explicit `target="node"`, while still honoring explicit `target="host"` pinning. (#48677)
- Discord/slash commands: tolerate partial Discord channel metadata in slash-command and model-picker flows so partial channel objects no longer crash when channel names, topics, or thread parent metadata are unavailable. (#68953) Thanks @dutifulbob.
- BlueBubbles: consolidate outbound HTTP through a typed `BlueBubblesClient` that resolves the SSRF policy once at construction so image attachments stop getting blocked on localhost and reactions stop getting blocked on private-IP BB deployments. Fixes #34749 and #59722. (#68234) Thanks @omarshahine.
- Cron/gateway: reject ambiguous announce delivery config at add/update time so invalid multi-channel or target-id provider settings fail early instead of persisting broken cron jobs. (#69015) Thanks @obviyus.
- Cron/main-session delivery: preserve `heartbeat.target="last"` through deferred wake queuing, gateway wake forwarding, and same-target wake coalescing so queued cron replies still return to the last active chat. (#69021) Thanks @obviyus.
- Cron/gateway: ignore disabled channels when announce delivery ambiguity is checked, and validate main-session delivery patches against the live cron service default agent so hot-reloaded agent config does not falsely reject valid updates. (#69040) Thanks @obviyus.
- Matrix/allowlists: hot-reload `dm.allowFrom` and `groupAllowFrom` entries on inbound messages while keeping config removals authoritative, so Matrix allowlist changes no longer require a channel restart to add or revoke a sender. (#68546) Thanks @johnlanni.
- BlueBubbles: always set `method` explicitly on outbound text sends (`"private-api"` when available, `"apple-script"` otherwise), and prefer Private API on macOS 26 even for plain text. Fixes silent delivery failure on macOS setups without Private API where an omitted `method` let BB Server fall back to version-dependent default behavior that silently drops the message (#64480), and the AppleScript `-1700` error on macOS 26 Tahoe plain text sends (#53159). (#69070) Thanks @xqing3.
- Matrix/commands: recognize slash commands that are prefixed with the bot's Matrix mention, so room messages like `@bot:server /new` trigger the command path without requiring custom mention regexes. (#68570) Thanks @nightq and @johnlanni.
- Gateway/pairing: return reason-specific `PAIRING_REQUIRED` details, remediation hints, and request ids so unapproved-device and scope-upgrade failures surface actionable recovery guidance in the CLI and Control UI. (#69227) Thanks @obviyus.
- Agents/subagents: include requested role and runtime timing on subagent failure payloads so parent agents can correlate failed or timed-out child work. (#68726) Thanks @BKF-Gitty.
- Gateway/sessions: reject stale agent-scoped sessions after an agent is removed from config while preserving legacy default-agent main-session aliases. (#65986) Thanks @bittoby.
- Doctor/gateway: surface pending device pairing requests, scope-upgrade approval drift, and stale device-token mismatch repair steps so `openclaw doctor --fix` no longer leaves pairing/auth setup failures unexplained. (#69210) Thanks @obviyus.
- Cron/isolated-agent: preserve explicit `delivery.mode: "none"` message targets for isolated runs without inheriting implicit `last` routing, so agent-initiated Telegram sends keep their authored destination while bare `mode:none` jobs stay targetless. (#69153) Thanks @davehappyminion and @nikilster.
- Cron/isolated-agent: keep `delivery.mode: "none"` account-only or thread-only configs from inheriting a stale implicit recipient, so isolated runs only resolve message routing when the job authored an explicit `to` target. (#69163) Thanks @davehappyminion and @nikilster.
- Gateway/TUI: retry session history while the local gateway is still finishing startup, so `openclaw tui` reconnects no longer fail on transient `chat.history unavailable during gateway startup` errors. (#69164) Thanks @shakkernerd.
- BlueBubbles/reactions: fall back to `love` when an agent reacts with an emoji outside the iMessage tapback set (`love`/`like`/`dislike`/`laugh`/`emphasize`/`question`), so wider-vocabulary model reactions like `👀` still produce a visible tapback instead of failing the whole reaction request. Configured ack reactions still validate strictly via the new `normalizeBlueBubblesReactionInputStrict` path. (#64693) Thanks @zqchris.
- BlueBubbles: prefer iMessage over SMS when both chats exist for the same handle, honor explicit `sms:` targets, and never silently downgrade iMessage-available recipients. (#61781) Thanks @rmartin.
- Telegram/setup: require numeric `allowFrom` user IDs during setup instead of offering unsupported `@username` DM resolution, and point operators to `from.id`/`getUpdates` for discovery. (#69191) Thanks @obviyus.
- GitHub Copilot/onboarding: default GitHub Copilot setup to `claude-opus-4.6` and keep the bundled default model list aligned, so new Copilot setups no longer start on the older `gpt-4o` default. (#69207) Thanks @obviyus.
- Gateway/status: separate reachability, capability, and read-probe reporting so connect-only or scope-limited sessions no longer look fully healthy, and normalize SSH targets entered as `ssh user@host`. (#69215) Thanks @obviyus.
- Slack: fix outbound replies failing with "unresolved SecretRef" for accounts configured via `file` or `exec` secret sources; the send path now tolerates the runtime snapshot retaining an unresolved channel SecretRef when a boot-resolved token override is already available. (#68954) Thanks @openperf.
- Control UI/device pairing: explain scope and role approval upgrades during reconnects, and show requested versus approved access in the Control UI and `openclaw devices` so broader reconnects no longer look like lost pairings. (#69221) Thanks @obviyus.
- Gateway/Control UI: surface pending scope, role, and device-metadata pairing approvals in auth errors and Control UI hints so broader reconnects no longer look like random auth breakage. (#69226) Thanks @obviyus.
## 2026.4.19-beta.2
### Fixes
- Agents/openai-completions: always send `stream_options.include_usage` on streaming requests, so local and custom OpenAI-compatible backends report real context usage instead of showing 0%. (#68746) Thanks @kagura-agent.
- Agents/nested lanes: scope nested agent work per target session so a long-running nested run on one session no longer head-of-line blocks unrelated sessions across the gateway. (#67785) Thanks @stainlu.
- Agents/status: preserve carried-forward session token totals for providers that omit usage metadata, so `/status` and `openclaw sessions` keep showing the last known context usage instead of dropping back to unknown/0%. (#67695) Thanks @stainlu.
- Install/update: keep legacy update verification compatible with the QA Lab runtime shim, so updating older global installs to beta no longer fails after npm installs the package successfully.
## 2026.4.19-beta.1
### Fixes
- Agents/channels: route cross-agent subagent spawns through the target agent's bound channel account while preserving peer and workspace/role-scoped bindings, so child sessions no longer inherit the caller's account in shared rooms, workspaces, or multi-account setups. (#67508) Thanks @lukeboyett and @gumadeiras.
- Telegram/callbacks: treat permanent callback edit errors as completed updates so stale command pagination buttons no longer wedge the update watermark and block newer Telegram updates. (#68588) Thanks @Lucenx9.
- Browser/CDP: allow the selected remote CDP profile host for CDP health and control checks without widening browser navigation SSRF policy, so WSL-to-Windows Chrome endpoints no longer appear offline under strict defaults. Fixes #68108. (#68207) Thanks @Mlightsnow.
- Codex: stop cumulative app-server token totals from being treated as fresh context usage, so session status no longer reports inflated context percentages after long Codex threads. (#64669) Thanks @cyrusaf.
- Browser/CDP: add phase-specific CDP readiness diagnostics and normalize loopback WebSocket host aliases, so Windows browser startup failures surface whether HTTP discovery, WebSocket discovery, SSRF validation, or the `Browser.getVersion` health check failed.
- Browser/CDP: discover Chrome’s real DevTools websocket from bare `ws://host:port` attach-only roots before declaring the profile down, while still falling back to direct websocket providers that do not expose `/json/version`. Fixes #68027. (#68715) Thanks @visionik.
## 2026.4.18
### Changes
- Anthropic/models: add Claude Opus 4.7 `xhigh` reasoning effort support and keep it separate from adaptive thinking.
- Control UI/settings: overhaul the settings and slash-command experience with faster presets, quick-create flows, and refreshed command discovery. (#67819) Thanks @BunsDev.
- macOS/gateway: add `screen.snapshot` support for macOS app nodes, including runtime plumbing, default macOS allowlisting, and docs for monitor preview flows. (#67954) Thanks @BunsDev.
### Fixes
- Codex/gateway: fix gateway crashes when the codex-acp subprocess terminates abruptly; pending requests now shut down gracefully instead of propagating an uncaught EPIPE through the gateway daemon and connected channels. Fixes #67886. (#67947) Thanks @openperf.
- Agents/bootstrap: resolve bootstrap from workspace truth instead of stale session transcript markers, keep embedded bootstrap instructions on a hidden user-context prelude, suppress normal `/new` and `/reset` greetings while `BOOTSTRAP.md` is still pending, and make the embedded runner read the bootstrap ritual before replying normally.
- WhatsApp/multi-account: centralize named-account inbound policy, isolate per-account group activation and scoped session keys, preserve legacy activation backfill, and keep `accounts.default` shared defaults aligned across runtime, setup, and compat migration paths. Thanks @mcaxtr.
- Cron/delivery: clean up isolated sessions after direct deliveries when `deleteAfterRun` is enabled, covering structured and threaded branches that previously bypassed cleanup. (#67807) Thanks @MonkeyLeeT.
- Gateway/hello-ok: always report negotiated auth metadata and preserve scopes for reused device tokens on successful shared-auth handshakes, including control-ui bypass coverage when no device token is issued. (#67810, #68039) Thanks @BunsDev.
- Onboarding/non-interactive: preserve existing gateway auth tokens during re-onboard so active local gateway clients are not disconnected by an implicit token rotation. (#67821) Thanks @BKF-Gitty.
- OpenAI Codex/Responses: unify native Responses API capability detection so Codex OAuth requests emit the required `store: false` field on the native Responses path. (#67918) Thanks @obviyus.
- WhatsApp/setup: guard personal-phone and allowlist prompt values so setup fails with clear validation errors instead of crashing on undefined prompt text. (#67895) Thanks @lawrence3699.
- Models/config: preserve an existing `models.json` provider `baseUrl` during merge-mode regeneration so custom endpoints do not get reset on restart. (#67893) Thanks @lawrence3699.
- Plugin SDK: preserve `secret-input-runtime` function exports in published builds so provider plugins can read SecretRef-backed setup inputs.
- Plugins/discovery: reuse bundled and global plugin discovery results across workspace cache misses so Windows multi-workspace startup stops redoing the shared synchronous scan. (#67940) Thanks @obviyus.
- Bundled plugins/install: keep staged bundled plugin runtime imports resolving through the packaged Plugin SDK while omitting checkout-only aliases from the dist inventory, so published installs do not fail on repo-local paths.
- Plugins/webhooks: enforce synchronous plugin registration with full rollback of failed plugin side effects, and cache SecretRef-backed webhook auth per route so plugin startup and inbound webhook auth stay deterministic. (#67941) Thanks @obviyus.
- Telegram/polling transport: give the Telegram undici dispatcher pool bounded keep-alive defaults and an explicit lifecycle. Previously every recoverable network error and stall watchdog trip silently replaced the transport, abandoning the old dispatcher pool and its sockets; long-running gateway processes accumulated hundreds of ESTABLISHED connections to `api.telegram.org`, saturating per-IP upstream proxy quotas and causing the actively-used outbound proxy node to time out while every other node still tested healthy. Transports now expose `close()`, `TelegramPollingTransportState` destroys the stale transport on dirty-rebuild, and `TelegramPollingSession` disposes the transport when polling exits — backed by a strict per-origin pool cap on every constructed `Agent`, `ProxyAgent`, and `EnvHttpProxyAgent` as defence in depth.
- Telegram/polling: publish successful `getUpdates` calls as account health liveness, avoid false stall restarts after recoverable `getUpdates` errors, and force Telegram API dispatchers to HTTP/1.1 so stalled polling recovers instead of sitting connected-but-dead.
- Telegram/ACP bindings: drop persisted DM bindings that still point at missing or failed ACP sessions on restart, while preserving plugin-owned bindings and uncertain store reads. (#67822) Thanks @chinar-amrutkar.
- Telegram/streaming: keep a transient preview on the same Telegram message when auto-compaction retries an in-flight answer, so streamed replies no longer appear duplicated after compaction. (#66939) Thanks @rubencu.
- Memory/sqlite-vec: emit the degraded sqlite-vec warning once per degraded episode instead of repeating it for every file write, while preserving the latch across safe-reindex rollback and resetting it when vector state is genuinely rebuilt. (#67898) Thanks @rubencu.
- Memory-core: preserve stored vector dimensions during read-only recovery so memory indexes do not lose vector metadata while repairing read-only state.
- Reply/block streaming: preserve post-stream incomplete-turn error payloads after block streaming already emitted content, so users get the warning instead of silence. (#67991) Thanks @obviyus.
- Telegram/streaming: clear the compaction replay guard after visible non-final boundaries so a post-tool assistant reply rotates to a fresh preview instead of editing the pre-compaction message. (#67993) Thanks @obviyus.
- Matrix: fix `sessions_spawn --thread` subagent session spawning — thread binding creation, cleanup on session end, and completion-message delivery target resolution now work end-to-end. (#67643) Thanks @eejohnso-ops and @gumadeiras.
- Slack/streaming: resolve native streaming recipient teams from the inbound user when available, with a monitor-team fallback, so DM and shared-workspace streams target the right recipient more reliably.
- macOS/webchat: enable Undo and Redo in the composer text input by turning on the native `NSTextView` undo manager. (#34962) Thanks @tylerbittner.
- macOS/remote SSH: require an already-trusted host key on the macOS remote command, gateway probe, port tunnel, and pairing probe paths by switching `StrictHostKeyChecking=accept-new` to `StrictHostKeyChecking=yes` and centralizing the shared SSH option fragments in `CommandResolver`, so first-time macOS remote connections no longer silently accept an unknown host key and must be trusted ahead of time via `~/.ssh/known_hosts`. (#68199)
- CLI/configure: show the channel picker before probing statuses and let remove mode delete configured channel blocks directly from config. (#68007) Thanks @gumadeiras.
- Control UI/settings: reset scroll position when switching settings pages and align details headers. (#68150) Thanks @BunsDev.
- WhatsApp/gateway: harden WhatsApp auth persistence and backup recovery, model unstable auth state explicitly in setup/status/health, recover backup-backed login without forcing a fresh QR, and keep local gateway handoff and channel restarts truthful after login. Thanks @mcaxtr.
- OpenAI Codex/OAuth: keep OpenClaw as the canonical owner for imported Codex CLI OAuth sessions, stop writing refreshed credentials back into `.codex`, and prefer fresher OpenClaw credentials over stale imported CLI state so refresh recovery stays stable. Thanks @vincentkoc.
- OpenAI Codex/OAuth: treat the OpenAI TLS prerequisites probe as advisory instead of a hard blocker, so Codex sign-in can still proceed when the speculative Node/OpenSSL precheck fails but the real OAuth flow still works. Thanks @vincentkoc.
- Models status/OAuth health: align OAuth health reporting with the same effective credential view runtime uses, so expired refreshable sessions stop showing healthy by default and fresher imported Codex CLI credentials surface correctly in `models status`, doctor, and gateway auth status. Thanks @vincentkoc.
- OpenAI Codex/OAuth: keep external CLI OAuth imports runtime-only by overlaying fresher Codex CLI credentials without mutating `auth-profiles.json`, so `.codex` stays a bootstrap/runtime input instead of becoming durable OpenClaw state. Thanks @vincentkoc.
- OpenAI Codex/OAuth: drop legacy CLI-manager routing from the remaining bootstrap path so Codex and MiniMax CLI imports are matched by their canonical OpenClaw profile ids instead of stale `managedBy` metadata. Thanks @vincentkoc.
- OpenAI Codex/OAuth: only bootstrap from external CLI OAuth when the local OpenClaw profile is missing or unusable, so healthy local sessions are no longer overridden by fresher `.codex` tokens. Thanks @vincentkoc.
- OpenAI Codex/OAuth: rename the external CLI bootstrap helper, reuse the same usable-oauth check across runtime fallback paths, and add debug logs plus health coverage so bootstrap decisions stay legible. Thanks @vincentkoc.
- Twitch/setup: load Twitch through the bundled setup-entry discovery path and keep setup/status account detection aligned with runtime config. (#68008) Thanks @gumadeiras.
- Feishu/card actions: resolve card-action chat type from the Feishu chat API when stored context is missing, preferring `chat_mode` over `chat_type`, so DM-originated card actions no longer bypass `dmPolicy` by falling through to the group handling path. (#68201)
- Cron/isolated-agent: preserve `trusted: false` on isolated cron awareness events mirrored into the main session, and forward the optional `trusted` flag through the gateway cron wrapper so explicit trust downgrades survive session-key scoping. (#68210)
- Agents/fallback: recognize bare leading ZenMux `402 ...` quota-refresh errors without misclassifying plain numeric `402 ...` text, and keep the embedded fallback regression coverage stable. (#47579) Thanks @bwjoke.
- Failover/google: only treat `INTERNAL` status payloads as retryable timeouts when they also carry a `500` code, so malformed non-500 payloads do not enter the retry path. (#68238) Thanks @altaywtf and @Openbling.
- Agents/tools: filter bundled MCP/LSP tools through the final owner-only and tool-policy pipeline after merging them into the effective tool list, so existing allowlists, deny rules, sandbox policy, subagent policy, and owner-only restrictions apply to bundled tools the same way they apply to core tools. (#68195)
- Gateway/assistant media: require `operator.read` scope for assistant-media file and metadata requests on identity-bearing HTTP auth paths so callers without a read scope can no longer access assistant media. (#68175) Thanks @eleqtrizit.
- Gateway/web: allow same-origin microphone access in the Permissions-Policy header so browser voice capture can work from the Control UI and webchat origin. (#68368)
- Exec approvals/display: escape raw control characters (including newline and carriage return) in the shared and macOS approval-prompt command sanitizers, so trailing command payloads no longer render on hidden extra lines in the approval UI. (#68198)
- Telegram/streaming: fence same-session stale preview and finalization work after aborts so Telegram no longer replays an older reply or flushes a hidden short preview after the abort confirmation lands. (#68100) Thanks @rubencu.
- OpenAI Codex/OAuth + Pi: keep imported Codex CLI OAuth bootstrap, Pi auth export, and runtime overlay handling aligned so Codex sessions survive refresh and health checks without leaking transient CLI state into saved auth files. Thanks @vincentkoc.
- OpenAI Codex/OAuth: keep Codex-specific auth bridging inside the owning plugins, preserve canonical imported CLI profiles, and allow legacy identity-less main-store OAuth sessions to upgrade during refresh mirroring. (#68284) Thanks @vincentkoc.
- Config/redact: add `browser.cdpUrl` and `browser.profiles.*.cdpUrl` to sensitive URL config paths so embedded credentials (query tokens and HTTP Basic auth) are properly redacted in `config.get` API responses and availability error messages. (#67679) Thanks @Ziy1-Tan.
- Agents/TTS: report failed speech synthesis as a real tool error so unconfigured providers no longer feed successful TTS failure output back into agent loops. (#67980) Thanks @lawrence3699.
- Gateway/wake: allow unknown properties on wake payloads so external senders like Paperclip can attach opaque metadata without failing schema validation. (#68355) Thanks @kagura-agent.
- Matrix: honor `channels.matrix.network.dangerouslyAllowPrivateNetwork` when creating clients for private-network homeservers. (#68332) Thanks @kagura-agent.
- Cron/message tool: keep cron-owned runs with `delivery.mode: "none"` on the normal message-tool path so they can still send explicit messages, create threads, and route conditionally when no runner-owned delivery target is active. (#68482) Thanks @obviyus.
- Agents/failover: avoid treating bare leading `402 ...` prose as billing errors while still recognizing proxy subscription failures. (#45827) Thanks @junyuc25.
- Config/$schema: preserve root-authored `$schema` during partial config rewrites without injecting include-only schema URLs into the root config. (#47322) Thanks @EfeDurmaz16.
- Agents/CLI delivery: run the same reply-media path normalizer the auto-reply flow uses before shipping `openclaw agent --deliver` payloads, so relative `MEDIA:./out/photo.png` tokens resolve against the agent workspace instead of being rejected downstream with `LocalMediaAccessError: Local media path is not under an allowed directory`. Thanks @frankekn.
- Agents/Google: strip `thinkingBudget=0` for the thinking-required `gemini-2.5-pro` model in embedded-runner and native Google payloads, so requests no longer fail with `Budget 0 is invalid. This model only works in thinking mode.` and the API uses its default thinking behavior instead. (#68607) Thanks @josmithiii.
- Slack/threads: log failed thread starter and history fetches at verbose level while preserving best-effort fallback behavior, so missing Slack thread context is diagnosable without interrupting inbound handling. (#68594) Thanks @martingarramon.
- Gateway/restart: keep stale-gateway cleanup from terminating the current process's parent or ancestors, so plugin sidecars like WeChat no longer kill the active gateway and trigger an infinite supervisor restart loop. Fixes #68451. (#68517) Thanks @openperf.
- Gateway/auth: reject gateway auth credentials that match published example placeholders at startup and secret reload, and keep cloud install snippets from publishing copy-paste gateway/keyring secrets. (#68404) Thanks @coygeek.
- CLI/update: preserve macOS restart helper launchctl failures in the update restart log without letting log setup block the restart path. (#68492) Thanks @hclsys.
- Slack/threads: keep file-only root messages as starter context so first thread replies can still hydrate starter media. (#68594) Thanks @martingarramon.
- Google/Antigravity: resolve forward-compatible Gemini 3.1 Pro custom-tools and Flash variants from the bundled Google plugin templates, so `google-antigravity/gemini-3.1-pro-preview-customtools` no longer falls through to an unknown-model error. Fixes #35512.
- Active Memory: raise the blocking recall timeout ceiling to 120 seconds and reject larger config values during plugin schema validation. Fixes #68410. (#68480) Thanks @Bartok9.
- Control UI/chat: keep history-backed user image uploads visible after chat reload while filtering blocked or non-image transcript media paths. (#68415) Thanks @mraleko.
- Matrix/plugins: keep remaining Matrix event helpers on the canonical `matrix-js-sdk` subpath so build and plugin-load entrypoint checks stay consistent. (#68498) Thanks @masatohoshino.
## 2026.4.15
### Changes
- Anthropic/models: default Anthropic selections, `opus` aliases, Claude CLI defaults, and bundled image understanding to Claude Opus 4.7.
- Google/TTS: add Gemini text-to-speech support to the bundled `google` plugin, including provider registration, voice selection, WAV reply output, PCM telephony output, and setup/docs guidance. (#67515) Thanks @barronlroth.
### Fixes
- Agents/skills: sort prompt-facing `available_skills` entries by skill name after merging sources so `skills.load.extraDirs` order no longer changes prompt-cache prefixes. (#64198) Thanks @Bartok9.
- Agents/context + Memory: trim default startup/skills prompt budgets, cap `memory_get` excerpts by default with explicit continuation metadata, and keep QMD reads aligned with the same bounded excerpt contract so long sessions pull less context by default without losing deterministic follow-up reads.
- BlueBubbles/inbound: restore inbound image attachment downloads on Node 22+ by stripping incompatible bundled-undici dispatchers from the non-SSRF fetch path, accept `updated-message` webhooks carrying attachments, use event-type-aware dedup keys so attachment follow-ups are not rejected as duplicates, and retry attachment fetch from the BB API when the initial webhook arrives with an empty array. (#64105, #61861, #65430, #67510) Thanks @omarshahine.
- CLI/update: prune stale packaged `dist` chunks after npm upgrades and keep downgrade/verify inventory checks compat-safe so global upgrades stop failing on stale chunk imports. (#66959) Thanks @obviyus.
- Gateway/tools: anchor trusted local `MEDIA:` tool-result passthrough on the exact raw name of this run's registered built-in tools, and reject client tool definitions whose names normalize-collide with a built-in or with another client tool in the same request (`400 invalid_request_error` on both JSON and SSE paths), so a client-supplied tool named like a built-in can no longer inherit its local-media trust. (#67303)
- OpenAI Codex/models: normalize stale native transport metadata in both runtime resolution and discovery/listing so legacy `openai-codex` rows with missing `api` or `https://chatgpt.com/backend-api/v1` self-heal to the canonical Codex transport instead of routing requests through broken HTML/Cloudflare paths, combining the original fixes proposed in #66969 (saamuelng601-pixel) and #67159 (hclsys). (#67635)
## 2026.4.15-beta.2
### Changes
- Anthropic/models: default Anthropic selections, `opus` aliases, Claude CLI defaults, and bundled image understanding to Claude Opus 4.7.
- Google/TTS: add Gemini text-to-speech support to the bundled `google` plugin, including provider registration, voice selection, WAV reply output, PCM telephony output, and setup/docs guidance. (#67515) Thanks @barronlroth.
- Control UI/Overview: add a Model Auth status card showing OAuth token health and provider rate-limit pressure at a glance, with attention callouts when OAuth tokens are expiring or expired. Backed by a new `models.authStatus` gateway method that strips credentials and caches for 60s. (#66211) Thanks @omarshahine.
- Memory/LanceDB: add cloud storage support to `memory-lancedb` so durable memory indexes can run on remote object storage instead of local disk only. (#63502) Thanks @rugvedS07.
- GitHub Copilot/memory search: add a GitHub Copilot embedding provider for memory search, and expose a dedicated Copilot embedding host helper so plugins can reuse the transport while honoring remote overrides, token refresh, and safer payload validation. (#61718) Thanks @feiskyer and @vincentkoc.
- Agents/local models: add experimental `agents.defaults.experimental.localModelLean: true` to drop heavyweight default tools like `browser`, `cron`, and `message`, reducing prompt size for weaker local-model setups without changing the normal path. (#66495) Thanks @ImLukeF.
- Packaging/plugins: localize bundled plugin runtime deps to their owning extensions, trim the published docs payload, and tighten install/package-manager guardrails so published builds stay leaner and core stops carrying extension-owned runtime baggage. (#67099) Thanks @vincentkoc.
- QA/Matrix: split Matrix live QA into a source-linked `qa-matrix` runner and keep repo-private `qa-*` surfaces out of packaged and published builds. (#66723) Thanks @gumadeiras.
- Docs/showcase: add a scannable hero, complete section jump links, and a responsive video grid for community examples. (#48493) Thanks @jchopard69.
- Agents/context engines: keep loop-hook and final `afterTurn` prompt-cache touch metadata aligned with the current assistant turn so cache-aware context engines retain accurate cache TTL state during tool loops. (#67767) thanks @jalehman.
- Memory/dreaming: strip AI-facing inbound metadata envelopes from session-corpus user turns before normalization so REM topic extraction sees the user's actual message text, including array-shaped split envelopes. (#66548) Thanks @zqchris.
- Agents/errors: detect standalone Cloudflare/CDN HTML challenge pages before transport DNS classification so provider block pages no longer appear as local DNS lookup failures. (#67704) Thanks @chris-yyau.

### Fixes
- Security/approvals: redact secrets in exec approval prompts so inline approval review can no longer leak credential material in rendered prompt content. (#61077, #64790)
- CLI/configure: re-read the persisted config hash after writes so config updates stop failing with stale-hash races. (#64188, #66528)
- CLI/update: prune stale packaged `dist` chunks after npm upgrades and keep downgrade/verify inventory checks compat-safe so global upgrades stop failing on stale chunk imports. (#66959) Thanks @obviyus.
- Telegram/documents: sanitize binary reply context and ZIP-like archive extraction so `.epub` and `.mobi` uploads can no longer leak raw binary into prompt context through reply metadata or archive-to-`text/plain` coercion. (#66877) Thanks @martinfrancois.
- Telegram/native commands: restore plugin-registry-backed auto defaults for native commands and native skills so Telegram slash commands keep registering when `commands.native` and `commands.nativeSkills` stay on `auto`. (#66843) Thanks @kashevk0.
- OpenRouter/Qwen3: parse `reasoning_details` stream deltas as thinking content without skipping same-chunk tool calls, so Qwen3 replies no longer fail empty on OpenRouter and mixed reasoning/tool-call chunks still execute normally. (#66905) Thanks @bladin.
- fix(bluebubbles): replay missed webhook messages after gateway restart via a persistent per-account cursor and `/api/v1/message/query?after=<ts>` pass, so messages delivered while the gateway was down no longer disappear. Uses the existing `processMessage` path and is deduped by #66816's inbound GUID cache. (#66857, #66721) Thanks @omarshahine.

Uses the existing `processMessage` path and is deduped by #66816's inbound GUID cache. (#66857, #66721) Thanks @omarshahine.
- Telegram/native commands: keep Telegram command-sync cache process-local so gateway restarts re-register the menu instead of trusting stale on-disk sync state after Telegram cleared commands out-of-band. (#66730) Thanks @nightq.
- Audio/self-hosted STT: restore `models.providers.*.request.allowPrivateNetwork` for audio transcription so private or LAN speech-to-text endpoints stop tripping SSRF blocks after the v2026.4.14 regression. (#66692) Thanks @jhsmith409.
- Auto-reply/media: allow workspace-rooted absolute media paths in auto-reply send flows so valid local media references no longer fail path validation. (#66689)
- Webchat/security: reject remote-host `file://` URLs in the media embedding path. (#67293) Thanks @pgondhi987.
- Dreaming/memory-core: use the ingestion day, not the source file day, for daily recall dedupe so repeat sweeps of the same daily note can increment `dailyCount` across days instead of stalling at `1`. (#67091) Thanks @Bartok9.
- Node-host/tools.exec: let approval binding distinguish known native binaries from mutable shell payload files, while still fail-closing unknown or racy file probes so absolute-path node-host commands like `/usr/bin/whoami` no longer get rejected as unsafe interpreter/runtime commands. (#66731) Thanks @tmimmanuel.
- Codex/gateway: fix gateway crash when the codex-acp subprocess terminates abruptly; an unhandled EPIPE on the child stdin stream now routes through graceful client shutdown, rejecting pending requests instead of propagating as an uncaught exception that crashes the entire gateway daemon and all connected channels. Fixes #67886. (#67947) thanks @openperf
- Slack/streaming: resolve native streaming recipient teams from the inbound user when available, with a monitor-team fallback, so DM and shared-workspace streams target the right recipient more reliably.
- OpenRouter/streaming: treat `reasoning_details.response.output_text` and `reasoning_details.response.text` as visible assistant output on OpenRouter-compatible completions streams, while keeping `reasoning.text` hidden and refusing to surface ambiguous bare `text` items by default so visible replies, thinking blocks, and tool calls can coexist in the same chunk. (#67410) Thanks @neeravmakwana.
- Models/OpenRouter aliases: resolve `openrouter:auto` to the canonical `openrouter/auto` model and map `openrouter:free` to the first configured concrete `openrouter/...:free` model instead of mis-resolving these compatibility aliases under the default provider. (#57066) Thanks @sumiisiaran.
- OpenRouter/Arcee: canonicalize stale OpenRouter `https://openrouter.ai/v1` base URLs during provider config normalization and runtime model/transport resolution, so fresh `models.json` writes and previously discovered rows self-heal back to `https://openrouter.ai/api/v1` instead of breaking OpenRouter-routed requests.

- Reports that only show differences in heuristic detection/parity (for example obfuscation-pattern detection on one exec path but not another, such as `node.invoke -> system.run` parity gaps) without demonstrating bypass of auth, approvals, allowlist enforcement, sandboxing, or other documented trust boundaries.
- Reports that only show an ACP tool can indirectly execute, mutate, orchestrate sessions, or reach another tool/runtime without demonstrating bypass of ACP prompt/approval, allowlist enforcement, sandboxing, or another documented trust boundary. ACP silent approval is intentionally limited to narrow readonly classes; parity-only indirect-command findings are hardening, not vulnerabilities.
- Reports that only show untrusted media bytes reaching a maintained native decoder dependency (for example Sharp/libvips/libheif) without proving the shipped dependency version is vulnerable and demonstrating crash, memory corruption, data exposure, or a boundary bypass through OpenClaw. JavaScript header sniffing and image dimension fast-paths are preflight/UX checks, not the security boundary for native decoder correctness.
- ReDoS/DoS claims that require trusted operator configuration input (for example catastrophic regex in `sessionFilter` or `logging.redactPatterns`) without a trust-boundary bypass.
- Archive/install extraction claims that require pre-existing local filesystem priming in trusted state (for example planting symlink/hardlink aliases under destination directories such as skills/tools paths) without showing an untrusted path that can create/control that primitive.
- Reports that depend on replacing or rewriting an already-approved executable path on a trusted host (same-path inode/content swap) without showing an untrusted path to perform that write.

- Reports whose only claim is that exec approvals do not semantically model every interpreter/runtime loader form, subcommand, flag combination, package script, or transitive module/config import. Exec approvals bind exact request context and best-effort direct local file operands; they are not a complete semantic model of everything a runtime may load.

<li>Onboard/wizard: restyle the setup security disclaimer with a single yellow warning banner, section headings and bulleted checklists, and un-dim the note body so key guidance is easy to scan; add a loading spinner during the initial model catalog load so the wizard no longer goes blank while it runs; add an "API key" placeholder to provider API key prompts. (#69553) Thanks @Patrick-Erichsen.</li>
<li>Agents/prompts: strengthen the default system prompt and OpenAI GPT-5 overlay with clearer completion bias, live-state checks, weak-result recovery, and verification-before-final guidance.</li>
<li>Models/costs: support tiered model pricing from cached catalogs and configured models, and include bundled Moonshot Kimi K2.6/K2.5 cost estimates for token-usage reports. (#67605) Thanks @sliverp.</li>
<li>Sessions/Maintenance: enforce the built-in entry cap and age prune by default, and prune oversized stores at load time so accumulated cron/executor session backlogs cannot OOM the gateway before the write path runs. (#69404) Thanks @bobrenze-bot.</li>
<li>Plugins/tests: reuse plugin loader alias and Jiti config resolution across repeated same-context loads, reducing import-heavy test overhead. (#69316) Thanks @amknight.</li>
<li>Cron: split runtime execution state into <code>jobs-state.json</code> so <code>jobs.json</code> stays stable for git-tracked job definitions. (#63105) Thanks @Feelw00.</li>
<li>Agents/compaction: send opt-in start and completion notices during context compaction. (#67830) Thanks @feniix.</li>
<li>Moonshot/Kimi: default bundled Moonshot setup, web search, and media-understanding surfaces to <code>kimi-k2.6</code> while keeping <code>kimi-k2.5</code> available for compatibility. (#69477) Thanks @scoootscooob.</li>
<li>Moonshot/Kimi: allow <code>thinking.keep = "all"</code> on <code>moonshot/kimi-k2.6</code>, and strip it for other Moonshot models or requests where pinned <code>tool_choice</code> disables thinking. (#68816) Thanks @aniaan.</li>
<li>BlueBubbles/groups: forward per-group <code>systemPrompt</code> config into inbound context <code>GroupSystemPrompt</code> so configured group-specific behavioral instructions (for example threaded-reply and tapback conventions) are injected on every turn. Supports <code>"*"</code> wildcard fallback matching the existing <code>requireMention</code> pattern. Closes #60665. (#69198) Thanks @omarshahine.</li>
<li>Plugins/tasks: add a detached runtime registration contract so plugin executors can own detached task lifecycle and cancellation without reaching into core task internals. (#68915) Thanks @mbelinky.</li>

<h3>Fixes</h3>
<ul>
<li>Exec/YOLO: stop rejecting gateway-host exec in <code>security=full</code> plus <code>ask=off</code> mode via the Python/Node script preflight hardening path, so promptless YOLO exec once again runs direct interpreter stdin and heredoc forms such as <code>node <<'NODE' ... NODE</code>.</li>
<li>OpenAI Codex: normalize legacy <code>openai-completions</code> transport overrides on default OpenAI/Codex and GitHub Copilot-compatible hosts back to the native Codex Responses transport while leaving custom proxies untouched. (#45304, #42194) Thanks @dyss1992 and @DeadlySilent.</li>
<li>Anthropic/plugins: scope Anthropic <code>api: "anthropic-messages"</code> defaulting to Anthropic-owned providers, so <code>openai-codex</code> and other providers without an explicit <code>api</code> no longer get rewritten to the wrong transport. Fixes #64534.</li>
<li>fix(qqbot): add SSRF guard to direct-upload URL paths in uploadC2CMedia and uploadGroupMedia [AI-assisted]. (#69595) Thanks @pgondhi987.</li>
<li>Browser/Chrome MCP: surface <code>DevToolsActivePort</code> attach failures as browser-connectivity errors instead of a generic "waiting for tabs" timeout, and point signed-out fallbacks toward the managed <code>openclaw</code> profile.</li>
<li>Webchat/images: treat inline image attachments as media for empty-turn gating while still ignoring metadata-only blank turns. (#69474) Thanks @Jaswir.</li>
<li>Discord/think: only show <code>adaptive</code> in <code>/think</code> autocomplete for provider/model pairs that actually support provider-managed adaptive thinking, so GPT/OpenAI models no longer advertise an Anthropic-only option.</li>
<li>Thinking: only expose <code>max</code> for models that explicitly support provider max reasoning, and remap stored <code>max</code> settings to the largest supported thinking mode when users switch to another model.</li>
<li>Gateway/usage: bound the cost usage cache with FIFO eviction so date/range lookups cannot grow unbounded. (#68842) Thanks @Feelw00.</li>
<li>OpenAI/Responses: resolve <code>/think</code> levels against each GPT model's supported reasoning efforts so <code>/think off</code> no longer becomes high reasoning or sends unsupported <code>reasoning.effort: "none"</code> payloads.</li>
<li>Lobster/TaskFlow: allow managed approval resumes to use <code>approvalId</code> without a resume token, and persist that id in approval wait state. (#69559) Thanks @kirkluokun.</li>
<li>Plugins/startup: install bundled runtime dependencies into each plugin's own runtime directory, reuse source-checkout repair caches after rebuilds, and log only packages that were actually installed so repeated Gateway starts stay quiet once deps are present.</li>
<li>Plugins/startup: ignore pnpm's <code>npm_execpath</code> when repairing bundled plugin runtime dependencies and skip workspace-only package specs so npm-only install flags or local workspace links do not break packaged plugin startup.</li>
<li>MCP: block interpreter-startup env keys such as <code>NODE_OPTIONS</code> for stdio servers while preserving ordinary credential and proxy env vars. (#69540) Thanks @drobison00.</li>
<li>Agents/shell: ignore non-interactive placeholder shells like <code>/usr/bin/false</code> and <code>/sbin/nologin</code>, falling back to <code>sh</code> so service-user exec runs no longer exit immediately. (#69308) Thanks @sk7n4k3d.</li>
<li>Setup/TUI: relaunch the setup hatch TUI in a fresh process while preserving the configured gateway target and auth source, so onboarding recovers terminal state cleanly without exposing gateway secrets on command-line args. (#69524) Thanks @shakkernerd.</li>
<li>Codex: avoid re-exposing the image-generation tool on native vision turns with inbound images, and keep bare image-model overrides on the configured image provider. (#65061) Thanks @zhulijin1991.</li>
<li>Sessions/reset: clear auto-sourced model, provider, and auth-profile overrides on <code>/new</code> and <code>/reset</code> while preserving explicit user selections, so channel sessions stop staying pinned to runtime fallback choices. (#69419) Thanks @sk7n4k3d.</li>
<li>Sessions/costs: snapshot <code>estimatedCostUsd</code> like token counters so repeated persist paths no longer compound the same run cost by up to dozens of times. (#69403) Thanks @MrMiaigi.</li>
<li>OpenAI Codex: route ChatGPT/Codex OAuth Responses requests through the <code>/backend-api/codex</code> endpoint so <code>openai-codex/gpt-5.4</code> no longer hits the removed <code>/backend-api/responses</code> alias. (#69336) Thanks @mzogithub.</li>
<li>OpenAI/Responses: omit disabled reasoning payloads when <code>/think off</code> is active, so GPT reasoning models no longer receive unsupported <code>reasoning.effort: "none"</code> requests. (#61982) Thanks @a-tokyo.</li>
<li>Gateway/pairing: treat loopback shared-secret node-host, TUI, and gateway clients as local for pairing decisions, so trusted local tools no longer reconnect as remote clients and fail with <code>pairing required</code>. (#69431) Thanks @SARAMALI15792.</li>
<li>Active Memory: degrade gracefully when memory recall fails during prompt building, logging a warning and letting the reply continue without memory context instead of failing the whole turn. (#69485) Thanks @Magicray1217.</li>
<li>Ollama: add provider-policy defaults for <code>baseUrl</code> and <code>models</code> so implicit local discovery can run before config validation rejects a minimal Ollama provider config. (#69370) Thanks @PratikRai0101.</li>
<li>Agents/model selection: clear transient auto-failover session overrides before each turn so recovered primary models are retried immediately without emitting user-override reset warnings. (#69365) Thanks @hitesh-github99.</li>
<li>Auto-reply: apply silent <code>NO_REPLY</code> policy per conversation type, so direct chats get a helpful rewritten reply while groups and internal deliveries can remain quiet. (#68644) Thanks @Takhoffman.</li>
<li>Telegram/status reactions: honor <code>messages.removeAckAfterReply</code> when lifecycle status reactions are enabled, clearing or restoring the reaction after success/error using the configured hold timings. (#68067) Thanks @poiskgit.</li>
<li>Web search/plugins: resolve plugin-scoped SecretRef API keys for bundled Exa, Firecrawl, Gemini, Kimi, Perplexity, Tavily, and Grok web-search providers when they are selected through the shared web-search config. (#68424) Thanks @afurm.</li>
<li>Telegram/polling: raise the default polling watchdog threshold from 90s to 120s and add configurable <code>channels.telegram.pollingStallThresholdMs</code> (also per-account) so long-running Telegram work gets more room before polling is treated as stalled. (#57737) Thanks @Vitalcheffe.</li>
<li>Telegram/polling: bound the persisted-offset confirmation <code>getUpdates</code> probe with a client-side timeout so a zombie socket cannot hang polling recovery before the runner watchdog starts. (#50368) Thanks @boticlaw.</li>
<li>Agents/Pi runner: retry silent <code>stopReason=error</code> turns with no output when no side effects ran, so non-frontier providers that briefly return empty error turns get another chance instead of ending the session early. (#68310) Thanks @Chased1k.</li>
<li>Plugins/memory: preserve the active memory capability when read-only snapshot plugin loads run, so status and provider discovery paths no longer wipe memory public artifacts. (#69219) Thanks @zeroaltitude.</li>
<li>Plugins: keep only the highest-precedence manifest when distinct discovered plugins share an id, so lower-precedence global or workspace duplicates no longer load beside bundled or config-selected plugins. (#41626) Thanks @Tortes.</li>
<li>Cron/delivery: treat explicit <code>delivery.mode: "none"</code> runs as not requested even if the runner reports <code>delivered: false</code>, so no-delivery cron jobs no longer persist false delivery failures or errors. (#69285) Thanks @matsuri1987.</li>
<li>Plugins/install: repair active and default-enabled bundled plugin runtime dependencies before import in packaged installs, so bundled Discord, WhatsApp, Slack, Telegram, and provider plugins work without putting their dependency trees in core.</li>
<li>BlueBubbles: raise the outbound <code>/api/v1/message/text</code> send timeout default from 10s to 30s, and add a configurable <code>channels.bluebubbles.sendTimeoutMs</code> (also per-account) so macOS 26 setups where Private API iMessage sends stall for 60+ seconds no longer silently lose messages at the 10s abort. Probes, chat lookups, and health checks keep the shorter 10s default. Fixes #67486. (#69193) Thanks @omarshahine.</li>
<li>Agents/bootstrap: budget truncation markers against per-file caps, preserve source content instead of silently wasting bootstrap bytes, and avoid marker-only output in tiny-budget truncation cases. (#69114) Thanks @BKF-Gitty.</li>
<li>Context engine/plugins: stop rejecting third-party context engines whose <code>info.id</code> differs from the registered plugin slot id. The strict-match contract added in 2026.4.14 broke <code>lossless-claw</code> and other plugins whose internal engine id does not equal the slot id they are registered under, producing repeated <code>info.id must match registered id</code> lane failures on every turn. Fixes #66601. (#66678) Thanks @GodsBoy.</li>
<li>Agents/compaction: rename embedded Pi compaction lifecycle events to <code>compaction_start</code> / <code>compaction_end</code> so OpenClaw stays aligned with <code>pi-coding-agent</code> 0.66.1 event naming. (#67713) Thanks @mpz4life.</li>
<li>Security/dotenv: block all <code>OPENCLAW_*</code> keys from untrusted workspace <code>.env</code> files so workspace-local env loading fails closed for new runtime-control variables instead of silently inheriting them. (#473)</li>
<li>Gateway/device pairing: restrict non-admin paired-device sessions (device-token auth) to their own pairing list, approve, and reject actions so a paired device cannot enumerate other devices or approve/reject pairing requests authored by another device. Admin and shared-secret operator sessions retain full visibility. (#69375) Thanks @eleqtrizit.</li>
<li>Agents/gateway tool: extend the agent-facing <code>gateway</code> tool's config mutation guard so model-driven <code>config.patch</code> and <code>config.apply</code> cannot rewrite operator-trusted paths (sandbox, plugin trust, gateway auth/TLS, hook routing and tokens, SSRF policy, MCP servers, workspace filesystem hardening) and cannot bypass the guard by editing per-agent sandbox, tools, or embedded-Pi overrides in place under <code>agents.list[]</code>. (#69377) Thanks @eleqtrizit.</li>
<li>Gateway/websocket broadcasts: require <code>operator.read</code> (or higher) for chat, agent, and tool-result event frames so pairing-scoped and node-role sessions no longer passively receive session chat content, and scope-gate unknown broadcast events by default. Plugin-defined <code>plugin.*</code> broadcasts are scoped to operator.write/admin, and status/transport events (<code>heartbeat</code>, <code>presence</code>, <code>tick</code>, etc.) remain unrestricted. Per-client sequence numbers preserve per-connection monotonicity. (#69373) Thanks @eleqtrizit.</li>
<li>Agents/compaction: always reload embedded Pi resources through an explicit loader and reapply reserve-token overrides so runs without extension factories no longer silently lose compaction settings before session start. (#67146) Thanks @ly85206559.</li>
<li>Memory-core/dreaming: normalize sweep timestamps and reuse hashed narrative session keys for fallback cleanup so Dreaming narrative sub-sessions stop leaking. (#67023) Thanks @chiyouYCH.</li>
<li>Gateway/startup: delay HTTP bind until websocket handlers are attached, so immediate post-startup websocket health/connect probes no longer hit the startup race window. (#43392) Thanks @dalefrieswthat.</li>
<li>Codex/app-server: release the session lane when a downstream consumer throws while draining the <code>turn/completed</code> notification, so follow-up messages after a Codex plugin reply stop queueing behind a stale lane lock. Fixes #67996. (#69072) Thanks @ayeshakhalid192007-dev.</li>
<li>Codex/app-server: default approval handling to <code>on-request</code> so Codex harness sessions do not start with overly permissive tool approvals. (#68721) Thanks @Lucenx9.</li>
<li>Cron/delivery: keep isolated cron chat delivery tools available, resolve <code>channel: "last"</code> targets from the gateway, show delivery previews in <code>cron list/show</code>, and avoid duplicate fallback sends after direct message-tool delivery. (#69587) Thanks @obviyus.</li>
<li>Cron/Telegram: key isolated direct-delivery dedupe to each cron execution instead of the reused session id, so recurring Telegram announce runs no longer report delivered while silently skipping later sends. (#69000) Thanks @obviyus.</li>
<li>Models/Kimi: default bundled Kimi thinking to off and normalize Anthropic-compatible <code>thinking</code> payloads so stale session <code>/think</code> state no longer silently re-enables reasoning on Kimi runs. (#68907) Thanks @frankekn.</li>
<li>Control UI/cron: keep the runtime-only <code>last</code> delivery sentinel from being materialized into persisted cron delivery and failure-alert channel configs when jobs are created or edited. (#68829) Thanks @tianhaocui.</li>
<li>OpenAI/Responses: strip orphaned reasoning blocks before outbound Responses API calls so compacted or restored histories no longer fail on standalone reasoning items. (#55787) Thanks @suboss87.</li>
<li>Cron/CLI: parse PowerShell-style <code>--tools</code> allow-lists the same way as comma-separated input, so <code>cron add</code> and <code>cron edit</code> no longer persist <code>exec read write</code> as one combined tool entry on Windows. (#68858) Thanks @chen-zhang-cs-code.</li>
<li>Browser/user-profile: let existing-session <code>profile="user"</code> tool calls auto-route to a connected browser node or use explicit <code>target="node"</code>, while still honoring explicit <code>target="host"</code> pinning. (#48677)</li>
<li>Discord/slash commands: tolerate partial Discord channel metadata in slash-command and model-picker flows so partial channel objects no longer crash when channel names, topics, or thread parent metadata are unavailable. (#68953) Thanks @dutifulbob.</li>
<li>BlueBubbles: consolidate outbound HTTP through a typed <code>BlueBubblesClient</code> that resolves the SSRF policy once at construction so image attachments stop getting blocked on localhost and reactions stop getting blocked on private-IP BB deployments. Fixes #34749 and #59722. (#68234) Thanks @omarshahine.</li>
<li>Cron/gateway: reject ambiguous announce delivery config at add/update time so invalid multi-channel or target-id provider settings fail early instead of persisting broken cron jobs. (#69015) Thanks @obviyus.</li>
<li>Cron/main-session delivery: preserve <code>heartbeat.target="last"</code> through deferred wake queuing, gateway wake forwarding, and same-target wake coalescing so queued cron replies still return to the last active chat. (#69021) Thanks @obviyus.</li>
<li>Cron/gateway: ignore disabled channels when announce delivery ambiguity is checked, and validate main-session delivery patches against the live cron service default agent so hot-reloaded agent config does not falsely reject valid updates. (#69040) Thanks @obviyus.</li>
<li>Matrix/allowlists: hot-reload <code>dm.allowFrom</code> and <code>groupAllowFrom</code> entries on inbound messages while keeping config removals authoritative, so Matrix allowlist changes no longer require a channel restart to add or revoke a sender. (#68546) Thanks @johnlanni.</li>
<li>BlueBubbles: always set <code>method</code> explicitly on outbound text sends (<code>"private-api"</code> when available, <code>"apple-script"</code> otherwise), and prefer Private API on macOS 26 even for plain text. Fixes silent delivery failure on macOS setups without Private API where an omitted <code>method</code> let BB Server fall back to version-dependent default behavior that silently drops the message (#64480), and the AppleScript <code>-1700</code> error on macOS 26 Tahoe plain text sends (#53159). (#69070) Thanks @xqing3.</li>
<li>Matrix/commands: recognize slash commands that are prefixed with the bot's Matrix mention, so room messages like <code>@bot:server /new</code> trigger the command path without requiring custom mention regexes. (#68570) Thanks @nightq and @johnlanni.</li>
<li>Gateway/pairing: return reason-specific <code>PAIRING_REQUIRED</code> details, remediation hints, and request ids so unapproved-device and scope-upgrade failures surface actionable recovery guidance in the CLI and Control UI. (#69227) Thanks @obviyus.</li>
<li>Agents/subagents: include requested role and runtime timing on subagent failure payloads so parent agents can correlate failed or timed-out child work. (#68726) Thanks @BKF-Gitty.</li>
<li>Gateway/sessions: reject stale agent-scoped sessions after an agent is removed from config while preserving legacy default-agent main-session aliases. (#65986) Thanks @bittoby.</li>
<li>Doctor/gateway: surface pending device pairing requests, scope-upgrade approval drift, and stale device-token mismatch repair steps so <code>openclaw doctor --fix</code> no longer leaves pairing/auth setup failures unexplained. (#69210) Thanks @obviyus.</li>
<li>Cron/isolated-agent: preserve explicit <code>delivery.mode: "none"</code> message targets for isolated runs without inheriting implicit <code>last</code> routing, so agent-initiated Telegram sends keep their authored destination while bare <code>mode:none</code> jobs stay targetless. (#69153) Thanks @obviyus.</li>
<li>Cron/isolated-agent: keep <code>delivery.mode: "none"</code> account-only or thread-only configs from inheriting a stale implicit recipient, so isolated runs only resolve message routing when the job authored an explicit <code>to</code> target. (#69163) Thanks @obviyus.</li>
<li>Gateway/TUI: retry session history while the local gateway is still finishing startup, so <code>openclaw tui</code> reconnects no longer fail on transient <code>chat.history unavailable during gateway startup</code> errors. (#69164) Thanks @shakkernerd.</li>
<li>BlueBubbles/reactions: fall back to <code>love</code> when an agent reacts with an emoji outside the iMessage tapback set (<code>love</code>/<code>like</code>/<code>dislike</code>/<code>laugh</code>/<code>emphasize</code>/<code>question</code>), so wider-vocabulary model reactions like <code>👀</code> still produce a visible tapback instead of failing the whole reaction request. Configured ack reactions still validate strictly via the new <code>normalizeBlueBubblesReactionInputStrict</code> path. (#64693) Thanks @zqchris.</li>
<li>BlueBubbles: prefer iMessage over SMS when both chats exist for the same handle, honor explicit <code>sms:</code> targets, and never silently downgrade iMessage-available recipients. (#61781) Thanks @rmartin.</li>
<li>Telegram/setup: require numeric <code>allowFrom</code> user IDs during setup instead of offering unsupported <code>@username</code> DM resolution, and point operators to <code>from.id</code>/<code>getUpdates</code> for discovery. (#69191) Thanks @obviyus.</li>
<li>GitHub Copilot/onboarding: default GitHub Copilot setup to <code>claude-opus-4.6</code> and keep the bundled default model list aligned, so new Copilot setups no longer start on the older <code>gpt-4o</code> default. (#69207) Thanks @obviyus.</li>
<li>Gateway/status: separate reachability, capability, and read-probe reporting so connect-only or scope-limited sessions no longer look fully healthy, and normalize SSH targets entered as <code>ssh user@host</code>. (#69215) Thanks @obviyus.</li>
<li>Slack: fix outbound replies failing with "unresolved SecretRef" for accounts configured via <code>file</code> or <code>exec</code> secret sources; the send path now tolerates the runtime snapshot retaining an unresolved channel SecretRef when a boot-resolved token override is already available. (#68954) Thanks @openperf.</li>
<li>Control UI/device pairing: explain scope and role approval upgrades during reconnects, and show requested versus approved access in the Control UI and <code>openclaw devices</code> so broader reconnects no longer look like lost pairings. (#69221) Thanks @obviyus.</li>
<li>Gateway/Control UI: surface pending scope, role, and device-metadata pairing approvals in auth errors and Control UI hints so broader reconnects no longer look like random auth breakage. (#69226) Thanks @obviyus.</li>
</ul>
<p><a href="https://github.com/openclaw/openclaw/blob/main/CHANGELOG.md">View full changelog</a></p>
<li>Anthropic/models: default Anthropic selections, <code>opus</code> aliases, Claude CLI defaults, and bundled image understanding to Claude Opus 4.7.</li>
<li>Google/TTS: add Gemini text-to-speech support to the bundled <code>google</code> plugin, including provider registration, voice selection, WAV reply output, PCM telephony output, and setup/docs guidance. (#67515) Thanks @barronlroth.</li>
<li>Control UI/Overview: add a Model Auth status card showing OAuth token health and provider rate-limit pressure at a glance, with attention callouts when OAuth tokens are expiring or expired. Backed by a new <code>models.authStatus</code> gateway method that strips credentials and caches for 60s. (#66211) Thanks @omarshahine.</li>
<li>Memory/LanceDB: add cloud storage support to <code>memory-lancedb</code> so durable memory indexes can run on remote object storage instead of local disk only. (#63502) Thanks @rugvedS07.</li>
<li>GitHub Copilot/memory search: add a GitHub Copilot embedding provider for memory search, and expose a dedicated Copilot embedding host helper so plugins can reuse the transport while honoring remote overrides, token refresh, and safer payload validation. (#61718) Thanks @feiskyer and @vincentkoc.</li>
<li>Agents/local models: add experimental <code>agents.defaults.experimental.localModelLean: true</code> to drop heavyweight default tools like <code>browser</code>, <code>cron</code>, and <code>message</code>, reducing prompt size for weaker local-model setups without changing the normal path. (#66495) Thanks @ImLukeF.</li>
<li>Packaging/plugins: localize bundled plugin runtime deps to their owning extensions, trim the published docs payload, and tighten install/package-manager guardrails so published builds stay leaner and core stops carrying extension-owned runtime baggage. (#67099) Thanks @vincentkoc.</li>
<li>QA/Matrix: split Matrix live QA into a source-linked <code>qa-matrix</code> runner and keep repo-private <code>qa-*</code> surfaces out of packaged and published builds. (#66723) Thanks @gumadeiras.</li>

</ul>
<h3>Fixes</h3>
<ul>
<li>Gateway/tools: anchor trusted local <code>MEDIA:</code> tool-result passthrough on the exact raw name of this run's registered built-in tools, and reject client tool definitions whose names normalize-collide with a built-in or with another client tool in the same request (<code>400 invalid_request_error</code> on both JSON and SSE paths), so a client-supplied tool named like a built-in can no longer inherit its local-media trust. (#67303)</li>
<li>Agents/replay recovery: classify the provider wording <code>401 input item ID does not belong to this connection</code> as replay-invalid, so users get the existing <code>/new</code> session reset guidance instead of a raw 401-style failure. (#66475) Thanks @dallylee.</li>
<li>Matrix/pairing: block DM pairing-store entries from authorizing room control commands [AI-assisted]. (#67294) Thanks @pgondhi987.</li>
<li>Docker/build: verify <code>@matrix-org/matrix-sdk-crypto-nodejs</code> native bindings with <code>find</code> under <code>node_modules</code> instead of a hardcoded <code>.pnpm/...</code> path so pnpm v10+ virtual-store layouts no longer fail the image build. (#67143) thanks @ly85206559.</li>
<li>Matrix/E2EE: keep startup bootstrap conservative for passwordless token-auth bots, still attempt the guarded repair pass without requiring <code>channels.matrix.password</code>, and document the remaining password-UIA limitation. (#66228) Thanks @SARAMALI15792.</li>
<li>Cron/announce delivery: suppress mixed-content isolated cron announce replies that end with <code>NO_REPLY</code> so trailing silent sentinels no longer leak summary text to the target channel. (#65004) thanks @neo1027144-creator.</li>
<li>Plugins/bundled channels: partition bundled channel lazy caches by active bundled root so <code>OPENCLAW_BUNDLED_PLUGINS_DIR</code> flips stop reusing stale plugin, setup, secrets, and runtime state. (#67200) Thanks @gumadeiras.</li>
<li>Packaging/plugins: prune common test/spec cargo from bundled plugin runtime dependencies and fail npm release validation if packaged test cargo reappears, keeping published tarballs leaner without plugin-specific special cases. (#67275) thanks @gumadeiras.</li>
<li>Agents/context + Memory: trim default startup/skills prompt budgets, cap <code>memory_get</code> excerpts by default with explicit continuation metadata, and keep QMD reads aligned with the same bounded excerpt contract so long sessions pull less context by default without losing deterministic follow-up reads.</li>
<li>Matrix/commands: skip DM pairing-store reads on room traffic now that room control-command authorization ignores pairing-store entries, keeping the room path narrower without changing room auth behavior. (#67325) Thanks @gumadeiras.</li>
<li>Memory-core/dreaming: skip dreaming narrative transcripts from session-store metadata before bootstrap records land so dream diary prompt/prose lines do not pollute session ingestion. (#67315) thanks @jalehman.</li>
<li>Agents/local models: clarify low-context preflight hints for self-hosted models, point config-backed caps at the relevant OpenClaw setting, and stop suggesting larger models when <code>agents.defaults.contextTokens</code> is the real limit. (#66236) Thanks @ImLukeF.</li>
<li>Dreaming/memory-core: change the default <code>dreaming.storage.mode</code> from <code>inline</code> to <code>separate</code> so Dreaming phase blocks (<code>## Light Sleep</code>, <code>## REM Sleep</code>) land in <code>memory/dreaming/{phase}/YYYY-MM-DD.md</code> instead of being injected into <code>memory/YYYY-MM-DD.md</code>. Daily memory files no longer get dominated by structured candidate output, and the daily-ingestion scanner that already strips dream marker blocks no longer has to compete with hundreds of phase-block lines on every run. Operators who want the previous behavior can opt in by setting <code>plugins.entries.memory-core.config.dreaming.storage.mode: "inline"</code>. (#66412) Thanks @mjamiv.</li>
<li>Control UI/Overview: fix false-positive "missing" alerts on the Model Auth status card for aliased providers, env-backed OAuth with auth.profiles, and unresolvable env SecretRefs. (#67253) Thanks @omarshahine.</li>
<li>Dashboard: constrain exec approval modal overflow on desktop so long command content no longer pushes action buttons out of view. (#67082) Thanks @Ziy1-Tan.</li>
<li>Agents/CLI transcripts: persist successful CLI-backed turns into the OpenClaw session transcript so google-gemini-cli replies appear in session history and the Control UI again. (#67490) Thanks @obviyus.</li>
<li>Discord/tool-call text: strip standalone Gemma-style <code><function>...</function></code> tool-call payloads from visible assistant text without truncating prose examples or trailing replies. (#67318) Thanks @joelnishanth.</li>
<li>WhatsApp/web-session: drain the pending per-auth creds save queue before reopening sockets so reconnect-time auth bootstrap no longer races in-flight <code>creds.json</code> writes and falsely restores from backup. (#67464) Thanks @neeravmakwana.</li>
<li>BlueBubbles/catchup: add a per-message retry ceiling (<code>catchup.maxFailureRetries</code>, default 10) so a persistently-failing message with a malformed payload no longer wedges the catchup cursor forever. After N consecutive <code>processMessage</code> failures against the same GUID, catchup logs a WARN, skips that message on subsequent sweeps, and lets the cursor advance past it. Transient failures still retry from the same point as before. Also fixes a lost-update race in the persistent dedupe file lock that silently dropped inbound GUIDs on concurrent writes, a dedupe file naming migration gap on version upgrade, and a balloon-event bypass that let catchup replay debouncer-coalesced events as standalone messages. (#67426, #66870) Thanks @omarshahine.</li>
<li>Ollama/chat: strip the <code>ollama/</code> provider prefix from Ollama chat request model ids so configured refs like <code>ollama/qwen3:14b-q8_0</code> stop 404ing against the Ollama API. (#67457) Thanks @suboss87.</li>
<li>Agents/tools: resolve non-workspace host tilde paths against the OS home directory and keep edit recovery aligned with that same path target, so <code>~/...</code> host edit/write operations stop failing or reading back the wrong file when <code>OPENCLAW_HOME</code> differs. (#62804) Thanks @stainlu.</li>
<li>Speech/TTS: auto-enable the bundled Microsoft and ElevenLabs speech providers, and route generic TTS directive tokens through the explicit or active provider first so overrides like <code>[[tts:speed=1.2]]</code> stop silently landing on the wrong provider. (#62846) Thanks @stainlu.</li>
<li>OpenAI Codex/models: normalize stale native transport metadata in both runtime resolution and discovery/listing so legacy <code>openai-codex</code> rows with missing <code>api</code> or <code>https://chatgpt.com/backend-api/v1</code> self-heal to the canonical Codex transport instead of routing requests through broken HTML/Cloudflare paths, combining the original fixes proposed in #66969 (saamuelng601-pixel) and #67159 (hclsys). (#67635)</li>
<li>Agents/failover: treat HTML provider error pages as upstream transport failures for CDN-style 5xx responses without misclassifying embedded body text as API rate limits, while still preserving auth remediation for HTML 401/403 pages and proxy remediation for HTML 407 pages. (#67642) Thanks @stainlu.</li>
<li>Gateway/skills: bump the cached skills-snapshot version whenever a config write touches <code>skills.*</code> (for example <code>skills.allowBundled</code>, <code>skills.entries.<id>.enabled</code>, or <code>skills.profile</code>). Existing agent sessions persist a <code>skillsSnapshot</code> in <code>sessions.json</code> that reuses the skill list frozen at session creation; without this invalidation, removing a bundled skill from the allowlist left the old snapshot live and the model kept calling the disabled tool, producing <code>Tool <name> not found</code> loops that ran until the embedded-run timeout. (#67401) Thanks @xantorres.</li>
<li>Agents/tool-loop: enable the unknown-tool stream guard by default. Previously <code>resolveUnknownToolGuardThreshold</code> returned <code>undefined</code> unless <code>tools.loopDetection.enabled</code> was explicitly set to <code>true</code>, which left the protection off in the default configuration. A hallucinated or removed tool (for example <code>himalaya</code> after it was dropped from <code>skills.allowBundled</code>) would then loop "Tool X not found" attempts until the full embedded-run timeout. The guard has no false-positive surface because it only triggers on tools that are objectively not registered in the run, so it now stays on regardless of <code>tools.loopDetection.enabled</code> and still accepts <code>tools.loopDetection.unknownToolThreshold</code> as a per-run override (default 10). (#67401) Thanks @xantorres.</li>
<li>TUI/streaming: add a client-side streaming watchdog to <code>tui-event-handlers</code> so the <code>streaming · Xm Ys</code> activity indicator resets to <code>idle</code> after 30s of delta silence on the active run. Guards against lost or late <code>state: "final"</code> chat events (WS reconnects, gateway restarts, etc.) leaving the TUI stuck on <code>streaming</code> indefinitely; a new system log line surfaces the reset so users know to send a new message to resync. The window is configurable via the new <code>streamingWatchdogMs</code> context option (set to <code>0</code> to disable), and the handler now exposes a <code>dispose()</code> that clears the pending timer on shutdown. (#67401) Thanks @xantorres.</li>
<li>Extensions/lmstudio: add exponential backoff to the inference-preload wrapper so an LM Studio model-load failure (for example the built-in memory guardrail rejecting a load because the swap is saturated) no longer produces a WARN line every ~2s for every chat request. The wrapper now records consecutive preload failures per <code>(baseUrl, modelKey, contextLength)</code> tuple with a 5s → 10s → 20s → … → 5min cooldown and skips the preload step entirely while a cooldown is active, letting chat requests proceed directly to the stream (the model is often already loaded via the LM Studio UI). The combined <code>preload failed</code> log line now reports consecutive-failure count and remaining cooldown so operators can act on the real issue instead of drowning in repeated warnings. (#67401) Thanks @xantorres.</li>
<li>Agents/replay: re-run tool/result pairing after strict replay tool-call ID sanitization on outbound requests so Anthropic-compatible providers like MiniMax no longer receive malformed orphan tool-result IDs such as <code>...toolresult1</code> during compaction and retry flows. (#67620) Thanks @stainlu.</li>
<li>Gateway/startup: fix spurious SIGUSR1 restart loop on Linux/systemd when plugin auto-enable is the only startup config write; the config hash guard was not captured for that write path, causing chokidar to treat each boot write as an external change and trigger a reload → restart cycle that corrupts manifest.db after repeated cycles. Fixes #67436. (#67557) thanks @openperf</li>
<li>Codex/harness: auto-enable the Codex plugin when <code>codex</code> is selected as an embedded agent harness runtime, including forced default, per-agent, and <code>OPENCLAW_AGENT_RUNTIME</code> paths. (#67474) Thanks @duqaXxX.</li>
<li>OpenAI Codex/CLI: keep resumed <code>codex exec resume</code> runs on the safe non-interactive path without reintroducing the removed dangerous bypass flag by passing the supported <code>--skip-git-repo-check</code> resume arg plus Codex's native <code>sandbox_mode="workspace-write"</code> config override. (#67666) Thanks @plgonzalezrx8.</li>
<li>Codex/app-server: parse Desktop-originated app-server user agents such as <code>Codex Desktop/0.118.0</code>, keeping the version gate working when the Codex CLI inherits a multi-word originator. (#64666) Thanks @cyrusaf.</li>
<li>Cron/announce delivery: keep isolated announce <code>NO_REPLY</code> stripping case-insensitive across direct and text delivery, preserve structured media-only sends when a caption strips silent, and derive main-session awareness from the cleaned payloads so silent captions no longer leak stale <code>NO_REPLY</code> text. (#65016) Thanks @BKF-Gitty.</li>
<li>Sessions/Codex: skip redundant <code>delivery-mirror</code> transcript appends only when the latest assistant message has the same visible text, preventing duplicate visible replies on Codex-backed turns without suppressing repeated answers across turns. (#67185) Thanks @andyylin.</li>
<li>Auto-reply/prompt-cache: keep volatile inbound chat IDs out of the stable system prompt so task-scoped adapters can reuse prompt caches across runs, while preserving conversation metadata for the user turn and media-only messages. (#65071) Thanks @MonkeyLeeT.</li>
<li>BlueBubbles/inbound: restore inbound image attachment downloads on Node 22+ by stripping incompatible bundled-undici dispatchers from the non-SSRF fetch path, accept <code>updated-message</code> webhooks carrying attachments, use event-type-aware dedup keys so attachment follow-ups are not rejected as duplicates, and retry attachment fetch from the BB API when the initial webhook arrives with an empty array. (#64105, #61861, #65430, #67510) Thanks @omarshahine.</li>
<li>Agents/skills: sort prompt-facing <code>available_skills</code> entries by skill name after merging sources so <code>skills.load.extraDirs</code> order no longer changes prompt-cache prefixes. (#64198) Thanks @Bartok9.</li>
<li>Agents/OpenAI Responses: add <code>models.providers.*.models.*.compat.supportsPromptCacheKey</code> so OpenAI-compatible proxies that forward <code>prompt_cache_key</code> can keep prompt caching enabled while incompatible endpoints can still force stripping. (#67427) Thanks @damselem.</li>
<li>Agents/context engines: keep loop-hook and final <code>afterTurn</code> prompt-cache touch metadata aligned with the current assistant turn so cache-aware context engines retain accurate cache TTL state during tool loops. (#67767) thanks @jalehman.</li>
<li>Memory/dreaming: strip AI-facing inbound metadata envelopes from session-corpus user turns before normalization so REM topic extraction sees the user's actual message text, including array-shaped split envelopes. (#66548) Thanks @zqchris.</li>
<li>Agents/errors: detect standalone Cloudflare/CDN HTML challenge pages before transport DNS classification so provider block pages no longer appear as local DNS lookup failures. (#67704) Thanks @chris-yyau.</li>
<li>Security/approvals: redact secrets in exec approval prompts so inline approval review can no longer leak credential material in rendered prompt content. (#61077, #64790)</li>
<li>CLI/configure: re-read the persisted config hash after writes so config updates stop failing with stale-hash races. (#64188, #66528)</li>
<li>CLI/update: prune stale packaged <code>dist</code> chunks after npm upgrades and keep downgrade/verify inventory checks compat-safe so global upgrades stop failing on stale chunk imports. (#66959) Thanks @obviyus.</li>
<li>Onboarding/CLI: fix channel-selection crashes on globally installed CLI setups during onboarding. (#66736)</li>
<li>Video generation/live tests: bound provider polling for live video smoke, default to the fast non-FAL text-to-video path, and use a one-second lobster prompt so release validation no longer waits indefinitely on slow provider queues.</li>
<li>Memory-core/QMD <code>memory_get</code>: reject reads of arbitrary workspace markdown paths and only allow canonical memory files (<code>MEMORY.md</code>, <code>memory.md</code>, <code>DREAMS.md</code>, <code>dreams.md</code>, <code>memory/**</code>) plus exact paths of active indexed QMD workspace documents, so the QMD memory backend can no longer be used as a generic workspace-file read shim that bypasses <code>read</code> tool-policy denials. (#66026) Thanks @eleqtrizit.</li>
<li>Cron/agents: forward embedded-run tool policy and internal event params into the attempt layer so <code>--tools</code> allowlists, cron-owned message-tool suppression, explicit message targeting, and command-path internal events all take effect at runtime again. (#62675) Thanks @hexsprite.</li>
<li>Setup/providers: guard preferred-provider lookup during setup so malformed plugin metadata with a missing provider id no longer crashes the wizard with <code>Cannot read properties of undefined (reading 'trim')</code>. (#66649) Thanks @Tianworld.</li>
<li>Telegram/documents: drop leaked binary caption bytes from inbound Telegram text handling so document uploads like <code>.mobi</code> or <code>.epub</code> no longer explode prompt token counts. (#66663) Thanks @joelnishanth.</li>
<li>Gateway/auth: resolve the active gateway bearer per-request on the HTTP server and the HTTP upgrade handler via <code>getResolvedAuth()</code>, mirroring the WebSocket path, so a secret rotated through <code>secrets.reload</code> or config hot-reload stops authenticating on <code>/v1/*</code>, <code>/tools/invoke</code>, plugin HTTP routes, and the canvas upgrade path immediately instead of remaining valid on HTTP until gateway restart. (#66651) Thanks @mmaps.</li>
<li>Agents/compaction: cap the compaction reserve-token floor to the model context window so small-context local models (e.g. Ollama with 16K tokens) no longer trigger context-overflow errors or infinite compaction loops on every prompt. (#65671) Thanks @openperf.</li>
<li>Agents/OpenAI Responses: classify the exact <code>Unknown error (no error details in response)</code> transport failure as failover reason <code>unknown</code> so assistant/model fallback still runs for that no-details failure path. (#65254) Thanks @OpenCodeEngineer.</li>
<li>Models/probe: surface invalid-model probe failures as <code>format</code> instead of <code>unknown</code> in <code>models list --probe</code>, and lock the invalid-model fallback path in with regression coverage. (#50028) Thanks @xiwuqi.</li>
<li>Agents/failover: classify OpenAI-compatible <code>finish_reason: network_error</code> stream failures as timeout so model fallback retries continue instead of stopping with an unknown failover reason. (#61784) thanks @lawrence3699.</li>
<li>Onboarding/channels: normalize channel setup metadata before discovery and validation so malformed or mixed-shape channel plugin metadata no longer breaks setup and onboarding channel lists. (#66706) Thanks @darkamenosa.</li>
<li>Slack/native commands: fix option menus for slash commands such as <code>/verbose</code> when Slack renders native buttons by giving each button a unique action ID while still routing them through the shared <code>openclaw_cmdarg*</code> listener. Thanks @Wangmerlyn.</li>
<li>Feishu/webhook: harden the webhook transport and card-action replay guards to fail closed on missing <code>encryptKey</code> and blank callback tokens — refuse to start the webhook transport without an <code>encryptKey</code>, reject unsigned requests when no key is present instead of accepting them, and drop blank card-action tokens before the dedupe claim and dispatcher. Defense-in-depth over the already-closed monitor-account layer. (#66707) Thanks @eleqtrizit.</li>
<li>Agents/workspace files: route <code>agents.files.get</code>, <code>agents.files.set</code>, and workspace listing through the shared <code>fs-safe</code> helpers (<code>openFileWithinRoot</code>/<code>readFileWithinRoot</code>/<code>writeFileWithinRoot</code>), reject symlink aliases for allowlisted agent files, and have <code>fs-safe</code> resolve opened-file real paths from the file descriptor before falling back to path-based <code>realpath</code> so a symlink swap between <code>open</code> and <code>realpath</code> can no longer redirect the validated path off the intended inode. (#66636) Thanks @eleqtrizit.</li>
<li>Gateway/MCP loopback: switch the <code>/mcp</code> bearer comparison from plain <code>!==</code> to constant-time <code>safeEqualSecret</code> (matching the convention every other auth surface in the codebase uses), and reject non-loopback browser-origin requests via <code>checkBrowserOrigin</code> before the auth gate runs. Loopback origins (<code>127.0.0.1:*</code>, <code>localhost:*</code>, same-origin) still go through, including the <code>localhost</code>↔<code>127.0.0.1</code> host mismatch that browsers flag as <code>Sec-Fetch-Site: cross-site</code>. (#66665) Thanks @eleqtrizit.</li>
<li>Auto-reply/billing: classify pure billing cooldown fallback summaries from structured fallback reasons so users see billing guidance instead of the generic failure reply. (#66363) Thanks @Rohan5commit.</li>
<li>Agents/fallback: preserve the original prompt body on model fallback retries with session history so the retrying model keeps the active task instead of only seeing a generic continue message. (#66029) Thanks @WuKongAI-CMU.</li>
<li>Reply/secrets: resolve active reply channel/account SecretRefs before reply-run message-action discovery so channel token SecretRefs (for example Discord) do not degrade into discovery-time unresolved-secret failures. (#66796) Thanks @joshavant.</li>
<li>Agents/Anthropic: ignore non-positive Anthropic Messages token overrides and fail locally when no positive token budget remains, so invalid <code>max_tokens</code> values no longer reach the provider API. (#66664) thanks @jalehman</li>
<li>Agents/context engines: preserve prompt-only token counts, not full request totals, when deferred maintenance reuses after-turn runtime context so background compaction bookkeeping matches the active prompt window. (#66820) thanks @jalehman.</li>
<li>BlueBubbles/inbound: add a persistent file-backed GUID dedupe so MessagePoller webhook replays after BB Server restart or reconnect no longer cause the agent to re-reply to already-handled messages. (#19176, #12053, #66816) Thanks @omarshahine.</li>
<li>Secrets/plugins/status: align SecretRef inspect-vs-strict handling across plugin preload, read-only status/agents surfaces, and runtime auth paths so unresolved refs no longer crash read-only CLI flows while runtime-required non-env refs stay strict. (#66818) Thanks @joshavant.</li>
<li>Memory/dreaming: stop ordinary transcripts that merely quote the dream-diary prompt from being classified as internal dreaming runs and silently dropped from session recall ingestion. (#66852) Thanks @gumadeiras.</li>
<li>Telegram/documents: sanitize binary reply context and ZIP-like archive extraction so <code>.epub</code> and <code>.mobi</code> uploads can no longer leak raw binary into prompt context through reply metadata or archive-to-<code>text/plain</code> coercion. (#66877) Thanks @martinfrancois.</li>
<li>Telegram/native commands: restore plugin-registry-backed auto defaults for native commands and native skills so Telegram slash commands keep registering when <code>commands.native</code> and <code>commands.nativeSkills</code> stay on <code>auto</code>. (#66843) Thanks @kashevk0.</li>
<li>OpenRouter/Qwen3: parse <code>reasoning_details</code> stream deltas as thinking content without skipping same-chunk tool calls, so Qwen3 replies no longer fail empty on OpenRouter and mixed reasoning/tool-call chunks still execute normally. (#66905) Thanks @bladin.</li>
<li>BlueBubbles/catchup: replay missed webhook messages after gateway restart via a persistent per-account cursor and <code>/api/v1/message/query?after=<ts></code> pass, so messages delivered while the gateway was down no longer disappear. Uses the existing <code>processMessage</code> path and is deduped by #66816's inbound GUID cache. (#66857, #66721) Thanks @omarshahine.</li>
<li>Telegram/native commands: keep Telegram command-sync cache process-local so gateway restarts re-register the menu instead of trusting stale on-disk sync state after Telegram cleared commands out-of-band. (#66730) Thanks @nightq.</li>
<li>Audio/self-hosted STT: restore <code>models.providers.*.request.allowPrivateNetwork</code> for audio transcription so private or LAN speech-to-text endpoints stop tripping SSRF blocks after the v2026.4.14 regression. (#66692) Thanks @jhsmith409.</li>
<li>Auto-reply/media: allow workspace-rooted absolute media paths in auto-reply send flows so valid local media references no longer fail path validation. (#66689)</li>
<li>WhatsApp/Baileys media upload: harden encrypted upload handling so large outbound media sends avoid buffer spikes and reliability regressions. (#65966) Thanks @frankekn.</li>
<li>QQBot/cron: guard against undefined <code>event.content</code> in <code>parseFaceTags</code> and <code>filterInternalMarkers</code> so cron-triggered agent turns with no content payload no longer crash with <code>TypeError: Cannot read properties of undefined (reading 'startsWith')</code>. (#66302) Thanks @xinmotlanthua.</li>
<li>CLI/plugins: stop <code>--dangerously-force-unsafe-install</code> plugin installs from falling back to hook-pack installs after security scan failures, while still preserving non-security fallback behavior for real hook packs. (#58909) Thanks @hxy91819.</li>
<li>Claude CLI/sessions: classify <code>No conversation found with session ID</code> as <code>session_expired</code> so expired CLI-backed conversations clear the stale binding and recover on the next turn. (#65028) thanks @Ivan-Fn.</li>
<li>Context Engine: gracefully fall back to the legacy engine when a third-party context engine plugin fails at resolution time (unregistered id, factory throw, or contract violation), preventing a full gateway outage on every channel. (#66930) Thanks @openperf.</li>
<li>Control UI/chat: keep optimistic user message cards visible during active sends by deferring same-session history reloads until the active run ends, including aborted and errored runs. (#66997) Thanks @scotthuang and @vincentkoc.</li>
<li>Media/Slack: allow host-local CSV and Markdown uploads only when the fallback buffer actually decodes as text, so real plain-text files work without letting opaque non-text blobs renamed to <code>.csv</code> or <code>.md</code> slip past the host-read guard. (#67047) Thanks @Unayung.</li>
<li>Ollama/onboarding: split setup into <code>Cloud + Local</code>, <code>Cloud only</code>, and <code>Local only</code>, support direct <code>OLLAMA_API_KEY</code> cloud setup without a local daemon, and keep Ollama web search on the local-host path. (#67005) Thanks @obviyus.</li>
<li>Webchat/security: reject remote-host <code>file://</code> URLs in the media embedding path. (#67293) Thanks @pgondhi987.</li>
<li>Dreaming/memory-core: use the ingestion day, not the source file day, for daily recall dedupe so repeat sweeps of the same daily note can increment <code>dailyCount</code> across days instead of stalling at <code>1</code>. (#67091) Thanks @Bartok9.</li>
<li>Node-host/tools.exec: let approval binding distinguish known native binaries from mutable shell payload files, while still fail-closing unknown or racy file probes so absolute-path node-host commands like <code>/usr/bin/whoami</code> no longer get rejected as unsafe interpreter/runtime commands. (#66731) Thanks @tmimmanuel.</li>
</ul>
<p><a href="https://github.com/openclaw/openclaw/blob/main/CHANGELOG.md">View full changelog</a></p>
<li>Dreaming/memory-wiki: add ChatGPT import ingestion plus new <code>Imported Insights</code> and <code>Memory Palace</code> diary subtabs so Dreaming can inspect imported source chats, compiled wiki pages, and full source pages directly from the UI. (#64505)</li>
<li>Control UI/webchat: render assistant media/reply/voice directives as structured chat bubbles, add the <code>[embed ...]</code> rich output tag, and gate external embed URLs behind config. (#64104)</li>
<li>Tools/video_generate: add URL-only generated asset delivery, typed <code>providerOptions</code>, reference audio inputs, per-asset role hints, <code>adaptive</code> aspect-ratio support, and a higher image-input cap so video providers can expose richer generation modes without forcing large files into memory. (#61987, #61988) Thanks @xieyongliang.</li>
<li>Feishu: improve document comment sessions with richer context parsing, comment reactions, and typing feedback so document-thread conversations behave more like chat conversations. (#63785)</li>
<li>Microsoft Teams: add reaction support, reaction listing, Graph pagination, and delegated OAuth setup for sending reactions while preserving application-auth read paths. (#51646)</li>
<li>Plugins: allow plugin manifests to declare activation and setup descriptors so plugin setup flows can describe required auth, pairing, and configuration steps without hardcoded core special cases. (#64780)</li>
<li>Ollama: cache <code>/api/show</code> context-window and capability metadata during model discovery so repeated picker refreshes stop refetching unchanged models, while still retrying after empty responses and invalidating on digest changes. (#64753) Thanks @ImLukeF.</li>
<li>Models/providers: surface how configured OpenAI-compatible endpoints are classified in embedded-agent debug logs, so local and proxy routing issues are easier to diagnose. (#64754) Thanks @ImLukeF.</li>
<li>QA/parity: add the GPT-5.4 vs Opus 4.6 agentic parity report gate with shared scenario coverage checks, stricter evidence heuristics, and skipped-scenario accounting for maintainer review. (#64441) Thanks @100yenadmin.</li>
</ul>
<h3>Fixes</h3>
<ul>
<li>OpenAI/Codex OAuth: stop rewriting the upstream authorize URL scopes so new Codex sign-ins do not fail with <code>invalid_scope</code> before returning an authorization code. (#64713) Thanks @fuller-stack-dev.</li>
<li>Audio transcription: disable pinned DNS only for OpenAI-compatible multipart requests, while still validating hostnames, so OpenAI, Groq, and Mistral transcription works again without weakening other request paths. (#64766) Thanks @GodsBoy.</li>
<li>macOS/Talk Mode: after granting microphone permission on first enable, continue starting Talk Mode instead of requiring a second toggle. (#62459) Thanks @ggarber.</li>
<li>Control UI/webchat: persist agent-run TTS audio replies into webchat history and preserve interleaved tool card pairing so generated audio and mixed tool output stay attached to the right messages. (#63514) Thanks @bittoby.</li>
<li>WhatsApp: honor the configured default account when the active listener helper is used without an explicit account id, so named default accounts do not get registered under <code>default</code>. (#53918) Thanks @yhyatt.</li>
<li>ACP/agents: suppress commentary-phase child assistant relay text in ACP parent stream updates, so spawned child runs stop leaking internal progress chatter into the parent session. Thanks @vincentkoc.</li>
<li>Agents/timeouts: honor explicit run timeouts in the LLM idle watchdog and align default timeout config so slow models can keep working until the configured limit instead of using the wrong idle window.</li>
<li>Config: include <code>asyncCompletion</code> in the generated zod schema so documented async completion config no longer fails with an unrecognized-key error. (#63618)</li>
<li>Google/Veo: stop sending the unsupported <code>numberOfVideos</code> request field so Gemini Developer API Veo runs do not fail before OpenClaw can complete the intended Google video generation path. (#64723) Thanks @velvet-shark.</li>
<li>QA/packaging: stop packaged CLI startup and completion cache generation from reading repo-only QA scenario markdown, ship the bundled QA scenario pack in npm releases, and keep <code>openclaw completion --write-state</code> working even if QA setup is broken. (#64648) Thanks @obviyus.</li>
<li>Codex/QA: keep Codex app-server coordination chatter out of visible replies, add a live QA leak scenario, and classify leaked harness meta text as a QA failure instead of a successful reply. Thanks @vincentkoc.</li>
<li>WhatsApp: route <code>message react</code> through the gateway-owned action path so reactions use the live WhatsApp listener in both DM and group chats, matching <code>message send</code> and <code>message poll</code>. Thanks @mcaxtr.</li>
<li>Auto-reply/WhatsApp: preserve inbound image attachment notes after media understanding so image edits keep the real saved media path instead of hallucinating a missing local path. (#64918) Thanks @ngutman.</li>
<li>Telegram/sessions: keep topic-scoped session initialization on the canonical topic transcript path when inbound turns omit <code>MessageThreadId</code>, so one topic session no longer alternates between bare and topic-qualified transcript files. (#64869) Thanks @jalehman.</li>
<li>Agents/failover: scope assistant-side fallback classification and surfaced provider errors to the current attempt instead of stale session history, so cross-provider fallback runs stop inheriting the previous provider's failure. (#62907) Thanks @stainlu.</li>
<li>MiniMax/OAuth: write <code>api: "anthropic-messages"</code> and <code>authHeader: true</code> into the <code>minimax-portal</code> config patch during <code>openclaw configure</code>, so re-authenticated portal setups keep Bearer auth routing working. (#64964) Thanks @ryanlee666.</li>
</ul>
<p><a href="https://github.com/openclaw/openclaw/blob/main/CHANGELOG.md">View full changelog</a></p>
<li>Models/Codex: add the bundled Codex provider and plugin-owned app-server harness so <code>codex/gpt-*</code> models use Codex-managed auth, native threads, model discovery, and compaction while <code>openai/gpt-*</code> stays on the normal OpenAI provider path. (#64298)</li>
<li>Memory/Active Memory: add a new optional Active Memory plugin that gives OpenClaw a dedicated memory sub-agent right before the main reply, so ongoing chats can automatically pull in relevant preferences, context, and past details without making users remember to manually say "remember this" or "search memory" first. Includes configurable message/recent/full context modes, live <code>/verbose</code> inspection, advanced prompt/thinking overrides for tuning, and opt-in transcript persistence for debugging. Docs: https://docs.openclaw.ai/concepts/active-memory. (#63286) Thanks @Takhoffman.</li>
<li>macOS/Talk: add an experimental local MLX speech provider for Talk Mode, with explicit provider selection, local utterance playback, interruption handling, and system-voice fallback. (#63539) Thanks @ImLukeF.</li>
<li>Tools/video generation: add Seedance 2.0 model refs to the bundled fal provider and submit the provider-specific duration, resolution, audio, and seed metadata fields needed for live Seedance 2.0 runs.</li>
<li>Microsoft Teams: add message actions for pin, unpin, read, react, and listing reactions. (#53432) Thanks @sudie-codes.</li>
<li>QA/Matrix: add a live <code>openclaw qa matrix</code> lane backed by a disposable Matrix homeserver, shared live-transport seams, and Matrix-specific transport coverage for threading, reactions, restart, and allowlist behavior. (#64489) Thanks @gumadeiras.</li>
<li>QA/Telegram: add a live <code>openclaw qa telegram</code> lane for private-group bot-to-bot checks, harden its artifact handling, and preserve native Telegram command reply threading for QA verification. (#64303) Thanks @obviyus.</li>
<li>QA/testing: add a <code>--runner multipass</code> lane for <code>openclaw qa suite</code> so repo-backed QA scenarios can run inside a disposable Linux VM and write back the usual report, summary, and VM logs. (#63426) Thanks @shakkernerd.</li>
<li>CLI/exec policy: add a local <code>openclaw exec-policy</code> command with <code>show</code>, <code>preset</code>, and <code>set</code> subcommands for synchronizing requested <code>tools.exec.*</code> config with the local exec approvals file, plus follow-up hardening for node-host rejection, rollback safety, and sync conflict detection. (#64050)</li>
<li>Gateway: add a <code>commands.list</code> RPC so remote gateway clients can discover runtime-native, text, skill, and plugin commands with surface-aware naming and serialized argument metadata. (#62656) Thanks @samzong.</li>
<li>Models/providers: add per-provider <code>models.providers.*.request.allowPrivateNetwork</code> for trusted self-hosted OpenAI-compatible endpoints, keep the opt-in scoped to model request surfaces, and refresh cached WebSocket managers when request transport overrides change. (#63671) Thanks @qas.</li>
<li>Feishu: standardize request user agents and register the bot as an AI agent so Feishu deployments identify OpenClaw consistently. (#63835) Thanks @evandance.</li>
<li>Matrix/partial streaming: add MSC4357 live markers to draft preview sends and edits so supporting Matrix clients can render a live/typewriter animation and stop it when the final edit lands. (#63513) Thanks @TigerInYourDream.</li>
<li>Control UI/dreaming: simplify the Scene and Diary surfaces, preserve unknown phase state for partial status payloads, and stabilize waiting-entry recency ordering so Dreaming status and review lists stay clear and deterministic. (#64035) Thanks @davemorin.</li>
<li>Agents: add an opt-in strict-agentic embedded Pi execution contract for GPT-5-family runs so plan-only or filler turns keep acting until they hit a real blocker. (#64241) Thanks @100yenadmin.</li>
<li>Agents/OpenAI: add provider-owned OpenAI/Codex tool schema compatibility and surface embedded-run replay/liveness state for long-running runs. (#64300) Thanks @100yenadmin.</li>
<li>Docs i18n: chunk raw doc translation, reject truncated tagged outputs, avoid ambiguous body-only wrapper unwrapping, and recover from terminated Pi translation sessions without changing the default <code>openai/gpt-5.4</code> path. (#62969, #63808) Thanks @hxy91819.</li>
<li>OpenAI/Codex: add required Codex OAuth scopes, classify provider/runtime failures more clearly, stop suggesting <code>/elevated full</code> when auto-approved host exec is unavailable, add OpenAI/Codex tool-schema compatibility, and preserve embedded-run replay/liveness truth across compaction retries and mutating side effects. (#64300, #64439) Thanks @100yenadmin.</li>
<li>CLI/WhatsApp media sends: route gateway-mode outbound sends with <code>--media</code> through the channel <code>sendMedia</code> path and preserve media access context, so WhatsApp document and attachment sends stop silently dropping the file while still delivering the caption. (#64478, #64492) Thanks @ShionEria.</li>
<li>Microsoft Teams: restore media downloads for personal DMs, Bot Framework <code>a:</code> conversations, OneDrive/SharePoint shared files, and Graph-backed chat IDs; accept Bot Framework audience tokens; prevent feedback-learning filename collisions; keep long tool chains alive with typing indicators; add SSO sign-in callbacks; inject parent context for thread replies; and deliver cron announcements to Teams conversation IDs. (#54932, #55383, #55386, #58001, #58249, #58774, #59731, #60956, #62219, #62674, #63063, #63942, #63945, #63949, #63951, #63953, #64087, #64088, #64089)</li>
<li>Gateway/tailscale: start Tailscale exposure and the gateway update check before awaiting channel and plugin sidecar startup so remote operators are not locked out when startup sidecars stall.</li>
<li>Gateway/startup: keep WebSocket RPC available while channels and plugin sidecars start, hold <code>chat.history</code> unavailable until startup sidecars finish so synchronous history reads cannot stall startup (reported in #63450), refresh advertised gateway methods after deferred plugin reloads, and enforce the pre-auth WebSocket upgrade budget before the no-handler 503 path so upgrade floods cannot bypass connection limits during that window. (#63480) Thanks @neeravmakwana.</li>
<li>WhatsApp: keep inbound replies, media, composing indicators, and queued outbound deliveries attached to the current socket across reconnect gaps, including fresh retry-eligible sends after the listener comes back. (#30806, #46299, #62892, #63916) Thanks @mcaxtr.</li>
<li>Gateway/thread routing: preserve Slack, Telegram, Mattermost, Matrix, ACP, restart-sentinel, and agent announce delivery targets so subagent, cron, stream-relay, session fallback, and restart messages land back in the originating thread, topic, or room casing. (#54840, #57056, #63143, #63228, #63506, #64343, #64391)</li>
<li>Models/fallback: preserve <code>/models</code> selection across transient primary-model failures and config reloads, allow timeout cooldown probes, classify OpenRouter no-endpoints responses, detect llama.cpp context overflows, and keep provider/runtime context metadata stable through reloads. (#61472, #64196, #64471)</li>
<li>Agents/BTW: keep <code>/btw</code> side questions working after tool-use turns by stripping replayed tool blocks, hidden reasoning, and malformed image payloads, omitting empty tool arrays, allowing Bedrock <code>auth: "aws-sdk"</code>, and routing Feishu <code>/btw</code> plus <code>/stop</code> through bounded out-of-band lanes. (#64218, #64219, #64225, #64324) Thanks @ngutman.</li>
<li>Control UI/BTW: render <code>/btw</code> side results as dismissible ephemeral cards in the browser, send <code>/btw</code> immediately during active runs, and clear stale BTW cards on reset flows so webchat matches the intended detached side-question behavior. (#64290) Thanks @ngutman.</li>
<li>Commands/targeting: use the selected agent or session for command output, send policy, usage/cost, context reports, model lists, bash sandbox hints, BTW/compact working directories, plugin commands, and session exports so multi-agent commands describe and mutate the intended target instead of the requester.</li>
<li>Conversation bindings: normalize focused/current conversation ids, preserve binding metadata on account and Discord rebinds, avoid stale Discord lifecycle windows, and keep generic activity touches persisted so reply routing survives rebinds and restarts.</li>
<li>iMessage/self-chat: distinguish normal DM outbound rows from true self-chat using <code>destination_caller_id</code> plus chat participants, preserve multi-handle self-chat aliases, drop ambiguous reflected echoes, and strip wrapped imsg RPC text fields. (#61619, #63868, #63980, #63989, #64000) Thanks @neeravmakwana.</li>
<li>Matrix: keep multi-account room scoping consistent, keep packaged crypto migrations warning-only when appropriate, preserve ordered block streaming, add explicit Matrix block-streaming opt-in, and resolve verification/bootstrap from the packaged runtime entry. (#58449, #59249, #59266, #64373) Thanks @gumadeiras.</li>
<li>Telegram/security: tighten Telegram <code>allowFrom</code> sender validation and keep <code>/whoami</code> allowlist reporting in sync with command auth checks.</li>
<li>Agents/timeouts: extend the default LLM idle window to 120s and keep silent no-token idle timeouts on recovery paths, so slow models can retry or fall back before users see an error.</li>
<li>Gateway/agents: preserve configured model selection and richer <code>IDENTITY.md</code> content across agent create/update flows and workspace moves, and fail safely instead of silently overwriting unreadable identity files. (#61577) Thanks @samzong.</li>
<li>Skills/TaskFlow: restore valid frontmatter fences for the bundled <code>taskflow</code> and <code>taskflow-inbox-triage</code> skills and copy bundled <code>SKILL.md</code> files as hard dist-runtime copies so skills stay discoverable and loadable after updates. (#64166, #64469) Thanks @extrasmall0.</li>
<li>Skills: respect overridden home directories when loading personal skills so service, test, and custom launch environments read the intended user skill directory instead of the process home.</li>
<li>Windows/exec: settle supervisor waits from child exit state after stdout and stderr drain even when <code>close</code> never arrives, so CLI commands stop hanging or dying with forced <code>SIGKILL</code> on Windows. (#64072) Thanks @obviyus.</li>
<li>Browser/sandbox: prevent sandbox browser CDP startup hangs by recreating containers when the browser security hash changes and by waiting on the correct sandbox browser lifecycle. (#62873) Thanks @Syysean.</li>
<li>QQBot/streaming: make block streaming configurable per QQ bot account via <code>streaming.mode</code> (<code>"partial"</code> | <code>"off"</code>, default <code>"partial"</code>) instead of hardcoding it off, so responses can be delivered incrementally. (#63746)</li>
<li>QQBot/config: allow extra fields in <code>channels.qqbot</code> and <code>channels.qqbot.accounts.*</code> so extended qqbot builds can add new config options without gateway startup failing on schema validation. (#64075) Thanks @WideLee.</li>
<li>Dreaming/gateway: require <code>operator.admin</code> for persistent <code>/dreaming on|off</code> changes and treat missing gateway client scopes as unprivileged instead of silently allowing config writes. (#63872) Thanks @mbelinky.</li>
<li>Gateway/pairing: prefer explicit QR bootstrap auth over earlier Tailscale auth classification so iOS <code>/pair qr</code> silent bootstrap pairing does not fall through to <code>pairing required</code>. (#59232) Thanks @ngutman.</li>
<li>Browser/control: auto-generate browser-control auth tokens for <code>none</code> and <code>trusted-proxy</code> modes, and route browser auth/profile/doctor helpers through the public browser plugin facades. (#63280, #63957) Thanks @pgondhi987.</li>
<li>Browser/act: centralize <code>/act</code> request normalization and execution dispatch while adding stable machine-readable route-level error codes for invalid requests, selector misuse, evaluate-disabled gating, target mismatch, and existing-session unsupported actions. (#63977) Thanks @joshavant.</li>
<li>Security/QQBot: enforce media storage boundaries for all outbound local file paths and route image-size probes through SSRF-guarded media fetching instead of raw <code>fetch()</code>. (#63271, #63495) Thanks @pgondhi987.</li>
<li>Channel setup: ignore workspace plugin shadows when resolving trusted channel setup catalog entries so onboarding and setup flows keep using the bundled, trusted setup contract.</li>
<li>Gateway/memory startup: load the explicitly selected memory-slot plugin during gateway startup, while keeping restrictive allowlists and implicit default memory slots from auto-starting unrelated memory plugins. (#64423) Thanks @EronFan.</li>
<li>Config/plugins: let config writes keep disabled plugin entries without forcing required plugin config schemas or crashing raw plugin validation, and avoid re-activating plugin registry state during schema checks. (#54971, #63296) Thanks @fuller-stack-dev.</li>
<li>Config validation: surface the actual offending field for strict-schema union failures in bindings, including top-level unexpected keys on the matching ACP branch. (#40841) Thanks @Hollychou924.</li>
<li>Wizard/plugin config: coerce integer-typed plugin config fields from interactive text input so integer schema values persist as numbers instead of failing validation. (#63346) Thanks @jalehman.</li>
<li>Daemon/gateway install: preserve safe custom service env vars on forced reinstall, merge prior custom PATH segments behind the managed service PATH, and stop removed managed env keys from persisting as custom carryover. (#63136) Thanks @WarrenJones.</li>
<li>Cron/scheduling: treat <code>nextRunAtMs <= 0</code> as invalid across cron update, maintenance, timer, and stale-delivery paths so corrupted zero timestamps self-heal instead of causing immediate runs or skipped deliveries. (#63507) Thanks @WarrenJones.</li>
<li>Cron/auth: resolve auth profiles consistently for isolated cron jobs so scheduled runs use the same configured provider credentials as interactive sessions. (#62797) Thanks @neeravmakwana.</li>
<li>Tasks: let <code>openclaw tasks cancel</code> cancel stuck background tasks that never reached a normal terminal state. (#62506) Thanks @neeravmakwana.</li>
<li>Sessions/model selection: preserve catalog-backed session model labels, provider-qualified context limits, and already-qualified session model refs when catalog metadata is unavailable, so model selection and memory/context budgets survive reloads without bogus provider prefixes. (#61382, #62493) Thanks @Mule-ME.</li>
<li>Status: show configured fallback models in <code>/status</code> and shared session status cards so per-agent fallback configuration is visible before a live failover happens. (#33111) Thanks @AnCoSONG.</li>
<li><code>/context detail</code> now compares the tracked prompt estimate with cached context usage and surfaces untracked provider/runtime overhead when present. (#28391) Thanks @ImLukeF.</li>
<li>Gateway/sessions: scope bare <code>sessions.create</code> aliases like <code>main</code> to the requested agent while preserving the canonical <code>global</code> and <code>unknown</code> sentinel keys. (#58207) Thanks @jalehman.</li>
<li>Gateway/session reset: emit the typed <code>before_reset</code> hook for gateway <code>/new</code> and <code>/reset</code>, preserving reset-hook behavior even when the previous transcript has already been archived. (#53872) Thanks @VACInc.</li>
<li>Plugins/commands: pass the active host <code>sessionKey</code> into plugin command contexts, and include <code>sessionId</code> when it is already available from the active session entry, so bundled and third-party commands can resolve the current conversation reliably. (#59044) Thanks @jalehman.</li>
<li>Agents/auth: honor <code>models.providers.*.authHeader</code> for pi embedded runner model requests by injecting <code>Authorization: Bearer <apiKey></code> when requested. (#54390) Thanks @lndyzwdxhs.</li>
<li>Claude CLI: clear inherited Anthropic auth/header environment aliases before spawning Claude Code and add sanitized CLI backend auth-env diagnostics for debugging gateway-run provider selection.</li>
<li>Agents/failover: classify AbortError and stream-abort messages as timeout so Ollama NDJSON stream aborts stop showing <code>reason=unknown</code> in model fallback logs. (#58324) Thanks @yelog.</li>
<li>Fireworks/FirePass: disable Kimi K2.5 Turbo reasoning output by forcing thinking off on the FirePass path and hardening the provider wrapper so hidden reasoning no longer leaks into visible replies. (#63607) Thanks @frankekn.</li>
<li>Discord: update Carbon to v0.15.0. Thanks @thewilloftheshadow.</li>
<li>Config/Discord: coerce safe integer numeric Discord IDs to strings during config validation, keep unsafe or precision-losing numeric snowflakes rejected, and align <code>openclaw doctor</code> repair guidance with the same fail-closed behavior. (#45125) Thanks @moliendocode.</li>
<li>BlueBubbles/config: accept <code>enrichGroupParticipantsFromContacts</code> in the core strict config schema so gateways no longer fail validation or startup when the BlueBubbles plugin writes that field. (#56889) Thanks @zqchris.</li>
<li>Feishu/webhooks: read webhook bodies through the pre-auth guard so unauthenticated webhook traffic stays under the same body budget as other protected channel ingress paths.</li>
<li>Tools/web_fetch: add an opt-in <code>tools.web.fetch.ssrfPolicy.allowRfc2544BenchmarkRange</code> config so fake-IP proxy environments that resolve public sites into <code>198.18.0.0/15</code> can use <code>web_fetch</code> without weakening the default SSRF block. (#61830) Thanks @xing-xing-coder.</li>
<li>Dreaming/cron: reconcile managed dreaming cron from startup config and runtime lifecycle changes, but only recover managed dreaming cron state during heartbeat-triggered dreaming checks so ordinary chat traffic does not recreate removed jobs. (#63873, #63929, #63938) Thanks @mbelinky.</li>
<li>Memory/lancedb: accept <code>dreaming</code> config when <code>memory-lancedb</code> owns the memory slot so Dreaming surfaces can read slot-owner settings without schema rejection. (#63874) Thanks @mbelinky.</li>
<li>Control UI/dreaming: keep the Dreaming trace area contained and scrollable so overlays no longer cover tabs or blow out the page layout. (#63875) Thanks @mbelinky.</li>
<li>Dreaming/narrative: harden request-scoped diary fallback so scheduled dreaming only falls back on the dedicated subagent-runtime error, stop trusting spoofable raw error-code objects, and avoid leaking workspace paths when local fallback writes fail. (#64156) Thanks @mbelinky.</li>
<li>Dreaming/diary: add idempotent narrative subagent runs, preserve restrictive <code>DREAMS.md</code> permissions during atomic writes, and surface temp cleanup failures so repeated sweeps do not double-run the same narrative request or silently weaken diary safety. (#63876) Thanks @mbelinky.</li>
<li>Heartbeats/sessions: remove stale accumulated isolated heartbeat session keys when the next tick converges them back to the canonical sibling, so repaired sessions stop showing orphaned <code>:heartbeat:heartbeat</code> variants in session listings. (#59606) Thanks @rogerdigital.</li>
<li>Gateway/run cleanup: fix stale run-context TTL cleanup so the new maintenance sweep resets orphaned run sequence state and prevents unbounded run-context growth. (#52731) Thanks @artwalker.</li>
<li>UI/compaction: keep the compaction indicator in a retry-pending state until the run actually finishes, so the UI does not show <code>Context compacted</code> before compaction actually finishes. (#55132) Thanks @mpz4life.</li>
<li>Cron/tool schemas: keep cron tool schemas strict-model-friendly while still preserving <code>failureAlert=false</code>, nullable <code>agentId</code>/<code>sessionKey</code>, and flattened add/update recovery for the newly exposed cron job fields. (#55043) Thanks @brunolorente.</li>
<li>Git metadata: read commit ids from packed refs as well as loose refs so version and status metadata stay accurate after repository maintenance. (#63943)</li>
<li>Gateway: keep <code>commands.list</code> skill entries categorized under tools and include provider-aware plugin <code>nativeName</code> metadata even when <code>scope=text</code>, so remote clients can group skills correctly and map text-surface plugin commands back to native aliases. (#64147)</li>
<li>TUI: reset footer activity to idle when switching sessions so a stale streaming indicator cannot persist after the selection changes. (#63988) Thanks @neeravmakwana.</li>
<li>Claude CLI: stop marking spawned Claude Code runs as host-managed so they keep using normal CLI subscription behavior. (#64023) Thanks @Alex-Alaniz.</li>
<li>Codex auth: brand Codex OAuth flows as OpenClaw in user-visible auth prompts and diagnostics.</li>
<li>Gateway/pairing: fail closed for paired device records that have no device tokens, and reject pairing approvals whose requested scopes do not match the requested device roles.</li>
<li>ACP/gateway chat: classify lifecycle errors before forwarding them to ACP clients so refusals use ACP's refusal stop reason while transient backend errors continue to finish as normal turns.</li>
<li>Claude CLI/skills: pass eligible OpenClaw skills into CLI runs, including native Claude Code skill resolution via a temporary plugin plus per-run skill env/API key injection. (#62686, #62723) Thanks @zomars.</li>
<li>Discord: keep generated auto-thread names working with reasoning models by giving title generation enough output budget for thinking plus visible title text. (#64172) Thanks @hanamizuki.</li>
<li>Heartbeat: ignore doc-only Markdown fence markers in the default <code>HEARTBEAT.md</code> template so comment-only heartbeat scaffolds skip API calls again. (#61690, #63434) Thanks @ravyg.</li>
<li>Reply/skills: keep resolved skill and memory secret config stable through embedded reply runs so raw SecretRefs in secondary skill settings no longer crash replies when the gateway already has the live env. (#64249) Thanks @mbelinky.</li>
<li>Dreaming/startup: keep plugin-registered startup hooks alive across workspace hook reloads and include dreaming startup owners in the gateway startup plugin scope, so managed Dreaming cron registration comes back reliably after gateway boot. (#62327, #64258) Thanks @mbelinky.</li>
<li>Plugins: treat duplicate <code>registerService</code> calls from the same plugin id as idempotent so snapshot and activation loads no longer emit spurious <code>service already registered</code> diagnostics. (#62033, #64128) Thanks @ly85206559.</li>
<li>Discord/TTS: route auto voice replies through the native voice-note path so Discord receives Opus voice messages instead of regular audio attachments. (#64096) Thanks @LiuHuaize.</li>
<li>Config/plugins: use plugin-owned command alias metadata when <code>plugins.allow</code> contains runtime command names like <code>dreaming</code>, and point users at the owning plugin instead of stale plugin-not-found guidance. (#64191, #64242) Thanks @feiskyer.</li>
<li>Agents/Gemini: strip orphaned <code>required</code> entries from Gemini tool schemas so provider validation no longer rejects tools after schema cleanup or union flattening. (#64284) Thanks @xxxxxmax.</li>
<li>Assistant text: strip Qwen-style XML tool call payloads from visible replies so web and channel messages no longer show raw <code><tool_call><function=...></code> output. (#63999, #64214) Thanks @MoerAI.</li>
<li>Daemon/gateway: prevent systemd restart storms on configuration errors by exiting with <code>EX_CONFIG</code> and adding generated unit restart-prevention guards. (#63913) Thanks @neo1027144-creator.</li>
<li>Agents/exec: prevent gateway crash ("Agent listener invoked outside active run") when a subagent exec tool produces stdout/stderr after the agent run has ended or been aborted. (#62821) Thanks @openperf.</li>
<li>Gateway/OpenAI compat: return real <code>usage</code> for non-stream <code>/v1/chat/completions</code> responses, emit the final usage chunk when <code>stream_options.include_usage=true</code>, and bound usage-gated stream finalization after lifecycle end. (#62986) Thanks @Lellansin.</li>
<li>Matrix/migration: keep packaged warning-only crypto migrations from being misclassified as actionable when only helper chunks are present, so startup and doctor stay on the warning-only path instead of creating unnecessary migration snapshots. (#64373) Thanks @gumadeiras.</li>
<li>Matrix/ACP thread bindings: preserve canonical room casing and parent conversation routing during ACP session spawn so mixed-case room ids bind correctly from top-level rooms and existing Matrix threads. (#64343) Thanks @gumadeiras.</li>
<li>Agents/subagents: deduplicate delivered completion announces so retry or re-entry cleanup does not inject duplicate internal-context completion turns into the parent session. (#61525) Thanks @100yenadmin.</li>
<li>Agents/exec: keep sandboxed <code>tools.exec.host=auto</code> sessions from honoring per-call <code>host=node</code> or <code>host=gateway</code> overrides while a sandbox runtime is active, and stop advertising node routing in that state so exec stays on the sandbox host. (#63880)</li>
<li>Agents/subagents: preserve archived delete-mode runs until <code>sessions.delete</code> succeeds and prevent overlapping archive sweeps from duplicating in-flight cleanup attempts. (#61801) Thanks @100yenadmin.</li>
<li>Cron/isolated agent: run scheduled agent turns as non-owner senders so owner-only tools stay unavailable during cron execution. (#63878)</li>
<li>Discord/sandbox: include <code>image</code> in sandbox media param normalization so Discord event cover images cannot bypass sandbox path rewriting. (#64377) Thanks @mmaps.</li>
<li>Agents/exec: extend exec completion detection to cover local background exec formats so the owner-downgrade fires correctly for all exec paths. (#64376) Thanks @mmaps.</li>
<li>Security/dependencies: pin axios to 1.15.0 and add a plugin install dependency denylist that blocks known malicious packages before install. (#63891) Thanks @mmaps.</li>
<li>Browser/security: apply three-phase interaction navigation guard to pressKey and type(submit) so delayed JS redirects from keypress cannot bypass SSRF policy. (#63889) Thanks @mmaps.</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>Browser/security: guard existing-session Chrome MCP interaction routes with SSRF post-checks so delayed navigation from click, type, press, and evaluate cannot bypass the configured policy. (#64370) Thanks @eleqtrizit.</li>
<li>Browser/security: default browser SSRF policy to strict mode so unconfigured installs block private-network navigation, and align external-content marker span mapping so ZWS-injected boundary spoofs are fully sanitized. (#63885) Thanks @eleqtrizit.</li>
<li>Browser/security: apply SSRF navigation policy to subframe document navigations so iframe-targeted private-network hops are blocked without quarantining the parent page. (#64371) Thanks @eleqtrizit.</li>
<li>Hooks/security: mark agent hook system events as untrusted and sanitize hook display names before cron metadata reuse. (#64372) Thanks @eleqtrizit.</li>
<li>Daemon/launchd: keep <code>openclaw gateway stop</code> persistent without uninstalling the macOS LaunchAgent, re-enable it on explicit restart or repair, and harden launchd label handling. (#64447) Thanks @ngutman.</li>
<li>Plugins/context engines: preserve <code>plugins.slots.contextEngine</code> through normalization and keep explicitly selected workspace context-engine plugins enabled, so loader diagnostics and plugin activation stop dropping that slot selection. (#64192) Thanks @hclsys.</li>
<li>Heartbeat: stop top-level <code>interval:</code> and <code>prompt:</code> fields outside the <code>tasks:</code> block from bleeding into the last parsed heartbeat task. (#64488) Thanks @Rahulkumar070.</li>
<li>Agents/OpenAI replay: preserve malformed function-call arguments in stored assistant history, avoid double-encoding preserved raw strings on replay, and coerce replayed string args back to objects at Anthropic and Google provider boundaries. (#61956) Thanks @100yenadmin.</li>
<li>Heartbeat/config: accept and honor <code>agents.defaults.heartbeat.timeoutSeconds</code> and per-agent heartbeat timeout overrides for heartbeat agent turns. (#64491) Thanks @cedillarack.</li>
<li>CLI/devices: make implicit <code>openclaw devices approve</code> selection preview-only and require approving the exact request ID, preventing latest-request races during device pairing. (#64160) Thanks @coygeek.</li>
<li>Media/security: honor sender-scoped <code>toolsBySender</code> policy for outbound host-media reads so denied senders cannot trigger host file disclosure via attachment hydration. (#64459) Thanks @eleqtrizit.</li>
<li>Browser/security: reject strict-policy hostname navigation unless the hostname is an explicit allowlist exception or IP literal, and route CDP HTTP discovery through the pinned SSRF fetch path. (#64367) Thanks @eleqtrizit.</li>
<li>Models/vLLM: ignore empty <code>tool_calls</code> arrays from reasoning-model OpenAI-compatible replies, reset false <code>toolUse</code> stop reasons when no actual tool calls were parsed, and stop sending <code>tool_choice</code> unless tools are present so vLLM reasoning responses no longer hang indefinitely. (#61197, #61534) Thanks @balajisiva.</li>
<li>Heartbeat/scheduling: spread interval heartbeats across stable per-agent phases derived from gateway identity, so provider traffic is distributed more uniformly across the configured interval instead of clustering around startup-relative times. (#64560) Thanks @odysseus0.</li>
