+# Gitcrawl
+
+Use this skill before live GitHub search when triaging OpenClaw issues or PRs.
+
+`gitcrawl` is the local candidate-discovery layer. It is fast, includes open and closed threads, and can surface duplicate attempts, related issues, and already-landed fixes. It is not the final source of truth for comments, labels, merges, closes, or current CI.
+
+## Default Flow
+
+1. Check local state:
+
+```bash
+gitcrawl doctor --json
+```
+
+2. Read the target from the local archive:
+
+```bash
+gitcrawl threads openclaw/openclaw --numbers <issue-or-pr-number> --include-closed --json
+```
+
+3. Find related candidates:
+
+```bash
+gitcrawl neighbors openclaw/openclaw --number <issue-or-pr-number> --limit 12 --json
+gitcrawl search openclaw/openclaw --query "<scope or title keywords>" --mode hybrid --limit 20 --json
+```
+
+4. Inspect relevant clusters:
+
+```bash
+gitcrawl cluster-detail openclaw/openclaw --id <cluster-id> --member-limit 20 --body-chars 280 --json
+```
+
+5. Verify anything actionable with live GitHub and the checkout:
+
+```bash
+gh pr view <number> --json number,title,state,mergedAt,body,files,comments,reviews,statusCheckRollup
+gh issue view <number> --json number,title,state,body,comments,closedAt
+```
+
+## Freshness Rules
+
+- Treat `gitcrawl` as stale if `doctor` shows no target thread, an old `last_sync_at`, missing embeddings for neighbor/search commands, or a clearly wrong open/closed state.
+- If stale data blocks the decision, refresh the portable store first:
+
+```bash
+gitcrawl init --portable-store git@github.com:openclaw/gitcrawl-store.git --json
+```
+
+- Run expensive update commands such as `gitcrawl sync --include-comments` only when the user asked to update the local store or stale data is blocking the decision.
+- The sync default is all GitHub thread states; pass `--state open`, `--state closed`, or `--state all` only when a task requires a narrower or explicit scope.
+
+## Boundaries
+
+- Use `gitcrawl` for candidates, clusters, and historical context.
+- Use `gh`, `gh api`, and the current checkout for live state before commenting, labeling, closing, reopening, merging, or filing a PR review.
+- Do not close or label based only on `gitcrawl` similarity. Require matching problem intent plus live verification.
+- If `gitcrawl` is unavailable, say so and fall back to targeted `gh search` rather than blocking normal maintainer work.

+
+# OpenClaw Pre-Release Plugin Testing
+
+Use this skill when the user asks for plugin release confidence, plugin lifecycle
+sweeps, package-artifact plugin proof, or "what else should we test before
+release?" It complements `openclaw-testing`; use that skill too when choosing
+the cheapest safe runner or debugging a failing lane.
+
+## Goal
+
+Prove the plugin system as a product surface, not just as source tests:
+
+- bundled plugin lifecycle: install, inspect, enable, disable, uninstall
+- package artifact behavior from a clean `HOME`
+- doctor/fix/config validation and idempotence
+- config discovery and config round-trip
+- status/log visibility and diagnostics
+- gateway startup/bootstrap with plugin metadata snapshots
+- public SDK compatibility for real external plugins
+- live-ish provider/channel probes only when safe credentials exist
+
+## First Checks
+
+From the OpenClaw repo root:
+
+```bash
+pnpm docs:list
+git status --short --branch
+readlink node_modules
+pnpm changed:lanes --json
+```
+
+In Codex worktrees under `.codex/worktrees`, `node_modules` must be a symlink to
+the main OpenClaw checkout. Do not run `pnpm install` there. For broad or
+package-heavy proof, use Blacksmith Testbox or GitHub Actions.
+
+## Runner Choice
+
+Prefer this order:
+
+1. **GitHub Package Acceptance** for installable-package product proof.
+2. **`ci-build-artifacts-testbox.yml` Testbox** when Docker/package lanes need
+   seeded `dist`, `dist-runtime`, and package caches.
+3. **`ci-check-testbox.yml` Testbox** for source checks, targeted Vitest,
+   package-boundary checks, or focused Docker lanes.
+4. **Local targeted commands only** for small format/static/unit probes.
+
+Avoid long package Docker runs from a stale sparse worktree. If Testbox sync
+reports hundreds of changed files or starts deleting package inputs, stop and
+warm a fresh box from current `main`, or switch to Package Acceptance.
+
+## Existing Baseline
+
+Run or verify these before inventing new coverage:
+
+```bash
+OPENCLAW_TESTBOX=1 pnpm check:changed
+pnpm run test:extensions:package-boundary:canary
+pnpm run test:extensions:package-boundary:compile
+pnpm test:docker:plugins
+OPENCLAW_PLUGINS_E2E_CLAWHUB=0 pnpm test:docker:plugins
+pnpm test:docker:plugin-update
+pnpm test:docker:bundled-channel-deps:fast
+```
+
+For full bundled install/uninstall proof, shard the packaged sweep:
+
+```bash
+OPENCLAW_BUNDLED_PLUGIN_SWEEP_TOTAL=8 \
+OPENCLAW_BUNDLED_PLUGIN_SWEEP_INDEX=<0-7> \
+pnpm test:docker:bundled-plugin-install-uninstall
+```
+
+Expected current packaged scope: 116 public bundled plugins over shards `0-7`.
+Private QA plugins are source-mode only unless a package explicitly includes
+them.
+
+## Confidence Matrix
+
+Use this matrix for pre-release signoff. Record pass/fail, run URL/Testbox ID,
+package SHA/version, and skipped-live reason.
+
+| Surface | Proof | Preferred runner |
+| --- | --- | --- |
+| Package artifact | Package Acceptance `suite_profile=package` or custom lanes | GitHub Actions |
+| Bundled lifecycle | 8-shard `test:docker:bundled-plugin-install-uninstall` | Testbox or release Docker |
+| External plugins | `test:docker:plugins` and `plugins-offline` | Testbox/package acceptance |
+| Update no-op | `test:docker:plugin-update` | Testbox/package acceptance |
+| Channel runtime deps | `test:docker:bundled-channel-deps:fast` plus key channels | Testbox/package acceptance |
+| Doctor/fix | seeded bad configs + `doctor --fix --non-interactive` | new Docker/Testbox harness |
+| Config round-trip | `config set/get`, inspect, doctor, reload, diff hash | new Docker/Testbox harness |
+| Gateway bootstrap | clean `HOME`, plugin groups enabled/disabled, status JSON | new Docker/Testbox harness |
+| SDK compatibility | directory, tgz, and `file:` external plugins using SDK subpaths | `test:docker:plugins` plus new smoke |
+| Live-ish | redacted provider/channel probes only for present env | Testbox live lanes |
+
+## Package Acceptance Plan
+
+Use this when validating a release branch, beta, or candidate package:
+
+```bash
+gh workflow run package-acceptance.yml \
+  --repo openclaw/openclaw \
+  --ref main \
+  -f workflow_ref=main \
+  -f source=ref \
+  -f package_ref=<branch-or-sha> \
+  -f suite_profile=custom \
+  -f docker_lanes='plugins-offline plugin-update bundled-channel-deps-compat doctor-switch update-channel-switch config-reload mcp-channels npm-onboard-channel-agent' \
+  -f telegram_mode=mock-openai
+```
+
+Use `source=npm -f package_spec=openclaw@beta` for published beta proof. Keep
+`workflow_ref` as trusted current harness code unless the release process says
+otherwise.
+
+## New Testbox Harness Plan
+
+If more certainty is needed, add or run a `plugin-lifecycle-matrix` Docker lane
+that uses one package tarball and sharded plugin lists. Per plugin:
+
+1. Start with a clean `HOME`.
+2. Capture `plugins list --json`.
+3. `plugins install <id>`.
+4. `plugins inspect <id> --json`.
+5. `plugins disable <id>`, then assert disabled visibility.
+6. `plugins enable <id>`, except config-required plugins without config.
+7. `plugins registry --refresh`.
+8. `doctor --non-interactive`.
+9. `plugins uninstall <id> --force`.
+10. Assert no config entry, allow/deny residue, install record, managed dir, or
+    bundled `dist/extensions/...` load path remains.
+11. Assert diagnostics contain no `level: "error"` and output redacts
+    secret-looking values.
+
+Keep `memory-lancedb` special: it is config-required. First assert install does
+not enable it without embedding config, then run a second configured case.
+
+## Doctor/Fix Matrix
+
+Seed bad states and require `doctor --fix --non-interactive` to repair them,
+then run doctor again and require idempotence:
+
+- stale `plugins.allow`
+- stale `plugins.entries`
+- stale channel config for missing channel plugin
+- invalid `plugins.entries.<id>.config`
+- packaged bundled path in `plugins.load.paths`
+- legacy `plugins.installs`
+- disabled channel/plugin config that must not stage runtime deps
+- root-owned global package tree that must remain unmodified
+
+## Gateway Bootstrap Matrix
+
+Start packaged OpenClaw in Docker with clean state:
+
+- provider plugins enabled, no credentials: ready with warnings, no crash
+- channel plugins configured disabled: no runtime deps staged
+- startup-activation plugins enabled: ready and reflected in status
+- invalid single plugin config: bad plugin skipped/quarantined, others remain
+
+Assert:
+
+- gateway reaches ready
+- `openclaw status --json` includes plugin diagnostics
+- `openclaw plugins inspect --all --json` is parseable
+- package tree is not mutated
+- logs contain no raw tokens
+
+## Config Round-Trip Representatives
+
+Use representative plugin families instead of every plugin for deep config
+round-trip:
+
+- providers: `openai`, `anthropic`, `mistral`, `openrouter`
+- channels: `telegram`, `discord`, `slack`, `whatsapp`
+- memory: `memory-lancedb`
+- feature/runtime: `browser`, `acpx`, `tokenjuice`
+
+For each representative:
+
+1. Write config through CLI when possible.
+2. Read it back through `config get` or JSON.
+3. Run `plugins inspect`.
+4. Run `doctor --non-interactive`.
+5. Trigger gateway config reload if applicable.
+6. Compare config hash before/after no-op commands.
+
+## External SDK Smoke
+
+In a package Docker lane, create tiny external plugins and install them from:
+
+- local directory
+- `.tgz`
+- `file:` npm spec
+
+Cover CJS and ESM shapes, plus at least one plugin importing focused
+`openclaw/plugin-sdk/*` subpaths. Assert `plugins inspect` sees its tool,
+gateway method, CLI command, or service.
+
+## Live-Ish Probe Rules
+
+Before live-ish work, source allowed env in Testbox and generate a redacted
+availability matrix: present/missing only, never values.
+
+Only run probes for credentials that exist. Prefer auth/catalog/status probes
+over sending user-visible messages. If a probe might contact an external user,
+channel, or workspace, stop and ask the user.
+
+## Reporting
+
+Report in this shape:
+
+```text
+package/ref:
+tbx ids / run urls:
+matrix:
+  bundled lifecycle:
+  package acceptance:
+  doctor/fix:
+  gateway bootstrap:
+  config round-trip:
+  sdk external:
+  live-ish:
+failures:
+skips:
+next highest-value gap:
+```
+
+Say clearly when a failure is Testbox sync/env damage rather than product
+behavior, and prove that with a clean rerun or current-main comparison.

+## Plugin-Suite Workflow
+
+Use this section when perf work involves bundled plugins, plugin-inspector, SDK
+barrels, package-boundary tests, or extension suites.
+
+1. Map the suite shape first:
+   - source tests: `pnpm test extensions/<id>` or `pnpm test:extensions:batch <id>`
+   - package boundaries: `pnpm run test:extensions:package-boundary:canary` and
+     `pnpm run test:extensions:package-boundary:compile`
+   - all bundled source tests: `pnpm test:extensions`
+   - plugin import memory: `pnpm test:extensions:memory -- --json .artifacts/test-perf/extensions-memory.json`
+   - plugin-inspector/report work: keep report primitives in `plugin-inspector`;
+     keep wrappers thin and collect peak RSS when the command supports it.
+2. Start narrow, then widen:
+   - one plugin changed: run that plugin's tests and plugin-inspector slice.
+   - SDK/public barrel changed: add representative provider, channel, memory,
+     and feature plugins.
+   - loader/runtime mirror changed: add package-boundary checks and build/package
+     proof as needed.
+   - unknown shared plugin behavior: run `test:extensions:batch` groups before
+     `pnpm test:extensions`.
+3. Treat plugin-inspector failures as product signals:
+   - JSON must parse.
+   - warnings/errors must be classified, not hidden.
+   - runtime capture should be quiet and config-tolerant.
+   - command output should include wall time, exit code, and peak RSS when
+     available.
+4. For broad or package-heavy plugin proof, use Blacksmith Testbox by default on
+   maintainer machines. Warm once and reuse the same box:
+   - `blacksmith testbox warmup ci-check-testbox.yml --ref main --idle-timeout 90`
+   - `blacksmith testbox run --id <ID> "OPENCLAW_TESTBOX=1 pnpm test:extensions:batch <ids>"`
+   - stop the box when done.
+5. If plugin performance is package-artifact sensitive, switch to
+   `openclaw-pre-release-plugin-testing` and Package Acceptance rather than
+   trusting source-only timing.
+
+## Metric Collection
+
+Collect at least one stable metric before and after. Prefer the same machine and
+same command. For Testbox comparisons, use the same `tbx_...` id when possible.
+
+| Metric          | Use for                            | Preferred source                                                            |

+| import duration | broad barrel/runtime loads         | `OPENCLAW_VITEST_IMPORT_DURATIONS=1`                                        |
+| max RSS         | memory pressure and OOM risk       | `/usr/bin/time -l`, `pnpm test:extensions:memory`, wrapper memory summaries |
+| CPU/user/sys    | CPU-bound vs wait-bound split      | `/usr/bin/time -l` locally, Testbox job timing when local CPU is noisy      |
+| heap snapshots  | real leak vs retained module graph | `openclaw-test-heap-leaks` workflow                                         |
+
+Local scoped command with CPU/RSS:
+
+```bash
+timeout 240 /usr/bin/time -l pnpm test <file> --maxWorkers=1 --reporter=verbose
+```
+
+Plugin import memory profile:

+```bash
+pnpm build
+pnpm test:extensions:memory -- --top 20 --json .artifacts/test-perf/extensions-memory.json

+
+# OpenClaw Testing
+
+Use this skill when deciding what to test, debugging failures, rerunning CI,
+or validating a change without wasting hours.
+
+## Read First
+
+- `docs/reference/test.md` for local test commands.
+- `docs/ci.md` for CI scope, release checks, Docker chunks, and runner behavior.
+- Scoped `AGENTS.md` files before editing code under a subtree.
+
+## Default Rule
+
+Prove the touched surface first. Do not reflexively run the whole suite.
+
+1. Inspect the diff and classify the touched surface:
+   - source: `pnpm changed:lanes --json`, then `pnpm check:changed`
+   - tests only: `pnpm test:changed`
+   - one failing file: `pnpm test <path-or-filter> -- --reporter=verbose`
+   - workflow-only: `git diff --check`, workflow syntax/lint (`actionlint` when available)
+   - docs-only: `pnpm docs:list`, docs formatter/lint only if docs tooling changed or requested
+2. Reproduce narrowly before fixing.
+3. Fix root cause.
+4. Rerun the same narrow proof.
+5. Broaden only when the touched contract demands it.
+
+## Guardrails
+
+- Do not kill unrelated processes or tests. If something is running elsewhere, treat it as owned by the user or another agent.
+- Do not run expensive local Docker, full release checks, full `pnpm test`, or full `pnpm check` unless the user asks or the change genuinely requires it.
+- Prefer GitHub Actions for release/Docker proof when the workflow already has the prepared image and secrets.
+- Use `scripts/committer "<msg>" <paths...>` when committing; stage only your files.
+- If deps are missing, run `pnpm install`, retry once, then report the first actionable error.
+
+## Local Test Shortcuts
+
+```bash
+pnpm changed:lanes --json
+pnpm check:changed       # changed typecheck/lint/guards; no Vitest
+pnpm test:changed        # cheap smart changed Vitest targets
+OPENCLAW_TEST_CHANGED_BROAD=1 pnpm test:changed
+pnpm test <path-or-filter> -- --reporter=verbose
+OPENCLAW_VITEST_MAX_WORKERS=1 pnpm test <path-or-filter>
+```
+
+Use targeted file paths whenever possible. Avoid raw `vitest`; use the repo
+`pnpm test` wrapper so project routing, workers, and setup stay correct.
+
+## Command Semantics
+
+- `pnpm check` and `pnpm check:changed` do not run Vitest tests. They are for
+  typecheck, lint, and guard proof.
+- `pnpm test` and `pnpm test:changed` run Vitest tests.
+- `pnpm test:changed` is intentionally cheap by default: direct test edits,
+  sibling tests, explicit source mappings, and import-graph dependents.
+- `OPENCLAW_TEST_CHANGED_BROAD=1 pnpm test:changed` is the explicit broad
+  fallback for harness/config/package edits that genuinely need it.
+- Do not run extension sweeps just because core changed. If a core edit is for a
+  specific plugin bug, run that plugin's tests explicitly. If a public SDK or
+  contract change needs consumer proof, choose the smallest representative
+  plugin/contract tests first, then broaden only when the risk justifies it.
+- The test wrapper prints a short `[test] passed|failed|skipped ... in ...`
+  line. Vitest's own duration is still the per-shard detail.
+
+## Routing Model
+
+- `pnpm changed:lanes --json` answers "which check lanes does this diff touch?"
+  It is used by `pnpm check:changed` for typecheck/lint/guard selection.
+- `pnpm test:changed` answers "which Vitest targets are worth running now?" It
+  uses the same changed path list, but applies a cheaper test-target resolver.
+- Direct test edits run themselves. Source edits prefer explicit mappings,
+  sibling `*.test.ts`, then import-graph dependents. Shared harness/config/root
+  edits are skipped by default unless they have precise mapped tests.
+- Shared group-room delivery config and source-reply prompt edits are precise
+  mapped tests: they run the core auto-reply regressions plus Discord and Slack
+  delivery tests so cross-channel default changes fail before a PR push.
+- Public SDK or contract edits do not automatically run every plugin test.
+  `check:changed` proves extension type contracts; the agent chooses the
+  smallest plugin/contract Vitest proof that matches the actual risk.
+- Use `OPENCLAW_TEST_CHANGED_BROAD=1 pnpm test:changed` only when a harness,
+  config, package, or unknown-root edit really needs the broad Vitest fallback.
+
+## CI Debugging
+
+Start with current run state, not logs for everything:
+
+```bash
+gh run list --branch main --limit 10
+gh run view <run-id> --json status,conclusion,headSha,url,jobs
+gh run view <run-id> --job <job-id> --log
+```
+
+- Check exact SHA. Ignore newer unrelated `main` unless asked.
+- For cancelled same-branch runs, confirm whether a newer run superseded it.
+- Fetch full logs only for failed or relevant jobs.
+
+## GitHub Release Workflows
+
+Use the smallest workflow that proves the current risk. The full umbrella is
+available, but it is usually the last step after narrower proof, not the first
+rerun after a focused patch.
+
+### Full Release Validation
+
+`Full Release Validation` (`.github/workflows/full-release-validation.yml`) is
+the manual "everything before release" umbrella. It resolves a target ref, then
+dispatches:
+
+- manual `CI` for the full normal CI graph
+- `OpenClaw Release Checks` for install smoke, cross-OS release checks, live and
+  E2E checks, Docker release-path suites, OpenWebUI, QA Lab, fast Matrix, and
+  Telegram release lanes
+- optional post-publish Telegram E2E when a package spec is supplied
+
+Run it only when validating an actual release candidate, after broad shared CI
+or release orchestration changes, or when explicitly asked:
+
+```bash
+gh workflow run full-release-validation.yml \
+  --repo openclaw/openclaw \
+  --ref main \
+  -f ref=<branch-or-sha> \
+  -f provider=openai \
+  -f mode=both \
+  -f release_profile=stable
+```
+
+Run the workflow itself from the trusted current ref, normally `--ref main`;
+child workflows are dispatched from that same ref even when `ref` points at an
+older release branch or tag. Full Release Validation has no separate child
+workflow ref input; choose the trusted harness by choosing the workflow run ref.
+Use `release_profile=minimum|stable|full` to control live/provider breadth:
+`minimum` keeps the fastest OpenAI/core release-critical set, `stable` adds the
+stable provider/backend set, and `full` adds the broad advisory provider/media
+matrix. Do not make `full` faster by silently dropping suites; optimize setup,
+artifact reuse, and sharding instead. The parent verifier job appends
+slowest-job tables for child runs; rerun only that verifier after a child rerun
+turns green.
+
+If a full run is already active on a newer `origin/main`, prefer watching that
+run over dispatching a duplicate. If you accidentally dispatch a stale duplicate,
+cancel it and monitor the current run.
+
+The child-dispatch jobs record the child run ids. The final
+`Verify full validation` job re-queries those child runs and is the canonical
+parent gate. If a child workflow failed but was later rerun successfully, rerun
+only the failed parent verifier job; do not dispatch a new full umbrella unless
+the release evidence is stale.
+
+For bounded recovery after a focused fix, pass `-f rerun_group=<group>`.
+Supported umbrella groups are `all`, `ci`, `release-checks`, `install-smoke`,
+`cross-os`, `live-e2e`, `package`, `qa`, `qa-parity`, `qa-live`, and
+`npm-telegram`. Use the narrowest group that covers the failed box.
+
+### Release Evidence
+
+After release-candidate validation or before a release decision, record the
+important run ids in the private `openclaw/releases-private` evidence ledger.
+Use the manual `OpenClaw Release Evidence`
+(`openclaw-release-evidence.yml`) workflow there. It writes durable summaries
+under `evidence/<release-id>/` and commits:
+
+- `release-evidence.md`
+- `release-evidence.json`
+- `index.json`
+- `runs/<label>.json`
+
+Use one run per line:
+
+```text
+full-release-validation openclaw/openclaw <run-id> blocking
+package-acceptance openclaw/openclaw <run-id> blocking
+release-checks openclaw/openclaw <run-id> blocking
+```
+
+Store summaries, run URLs, artifact metadata, timings, pass/fail state, and
+short release-manager notes there. Do not store raw logs, provider
+prompts/responses, channel transcripts, signing material, or secret-bearing
+config in git; raw logs stay in Actions artifacts.
+
+When `Full Release Validation` completes and
+`OPENCLAW_RELEASES_PRIVATE_DISPATCH_TOKEN` is configured in the public repo, it
+requests the private `OpenClaw Release Evidence From Full Validation` workflow.
+That private workflow reads the parent full-validation run, extracts the child
+CI/release-checks/Telegram run ids from the parent logs, and opens the evidence
+PR automatically. If the token is absent or the run predates this wiring, trigger
+that private workflow manually with the full-validation run id.
+
+### Release Checks
+
+`OpenClaw Release Checks` (`openclaw-release-checks.yml`) is the release child
+workflow. It is broader than normal CI but narrower than the umbrella because it
+does not dispatch the separate full normal CI child. It runs Package Acceptance
+with artifact-native delta lanes and `telegram_mode=mock-openai`, so the release
+package tarball also goes through offline plugin proof, bundled-channel compat,
+and Telegram package QA. The Docker release-path chunks cover the overlapping
+package/update/plugin lanes. Use it when release-path validation is needed
+without rerunning the entire umbrella.
+
+```bash
+gh workflow run openclaw-release-checks.yml \
+  --repo openclaw/openclaw \
+  --ref main \
+  -f ref=<branch-or-sha> \
+  -f provider=openai \
+  -f mode=both \
+  -f release_profile=stable \
+  -f rerun_group=all
+```
+
+Release-check rerun groups are `all`, `install-smoke`, `cross-os`, `live-e2e`,
+`package`, `qa`, `qa-parity`, and `qa-live`.
+`OpenClaw Release Checks` uses the trusted workflow ref to resolve the selected
+ref once as `release-package-under-test` and passes that artifact into cross-OS
+release checks, release-path Docker live/E2E checks, and Package Acceptance.
+When `Full Release Validation` dispatches release checks, it passes the requested
+branch/tag plus an `expected_sha` so branch/tag refs resolve through the fast
+remote-ref path while the package and QA jobs still validate the exact SHA.
+
+The release Docker path intentionally shards the plugin/runtime tail. The
+workflow uses `plugins-runtime-plugins`, `plugins-runtime-services`, and
+`plugins-runtime-install-a` through `plugins-runtime-install-d`; aggregate
+aliases such as `plugins-runtime-core`, `plugins-runtime`, and
+`plugins-integrations` remain for manual reruns.
+
+The release QA parity box is internally split into candidate and baseline lane
+jobs, followed by a report job that downloads both artifacts and runs
+`pnpm openclaw qa parity-report`. For parity failures, inspect the failed lane
+first; inspect the report job when both lane summaries exist but the comparison
+fails.
+
+### QA Lab Matrix Profiles
+
+`pnpm openclaw qa matrix` defaults to `--profile all`. Do not assume the CLI
+default is the fast release path. Use explicit profiles:
+
+- `--profile fast`: release-critical Matrix transport contract; add
+  `--fail-fast` only when the target CLI supports it
+- `--profile transport|media|e2ee-smoke|e2ee-deep|e2ee-cli`: sharded full
+  Matrix proof
+- `OPENCLAW_QA_MATRIX_NO_REPLY_WINDOW_MS=3000`: CI-friendly no-reply quiet
+  window when paired with fast or sharded gates
+
+`QA-Lab - All Lanes` uses explicit fast Matrix on scheduled runs; manual
+dispatch keeps `matrix_profile=all` as the default and always shards that full
+Matrix selection. `OpenClaw Release Checks` uses explicit fast Matrix; run the
+all-lanes workflow when release investigation needs full Matrix media/E2EE
+inventory.
+
+### Reusable Live/E2E Checks
+
+`OpenClaw Live And E2E Checks (Reusable)`
+(`openclaw-live-and-e2e-checks-reusable.yml`) is the preferred entry point for
+targeted live, Docker, model, and E2E proof. Inputs let you turn off unrelated
+lanes:
+
+```bash
+gh workflow run openclaw-live-and-e2e-checks-reusable.yml \
+  --repo openclaw/openclaw \
+  --ref main \
+  -f ref=<sha> \
+  -f include_repo_e2e=false \
+  -f include_release_path_suites=false \
+  -f include_openwebui=false \
+  -f include_live_suites=true \
+  -f live_models_only=true \
+  -f live_model_providers=fireworks
+```
+
+Useful knobs:
+
+- `docker_lanes='<lane[,lane]>'`: run selected Docker scheduler lanes against
+  prepared artifacts instead of the release chunk matrix. Multiple selected
+  lanes fan out as parallel targeted Docker jobs after one shared package/image
+  preparation step.
+- `include_live_suites=false`: skip live/provider suites when testing Docker
+  scheduler or release packaging only.
+- `live_models_only=true`: run only Docker live model coverage.
+- `live_model_providers=fireworks` (or comma/space separated providers): run one
+  targeted Docker live model job instead of the full provider matrix.
+- blank `live_model_providers`: run the full live-model provider matrix.
+
+Release-path Docker chunks are currently `core`, `package-update-openai`,
+`package-update-anthropic`, `package-update-core`,
+`plugins-runtime-plugins`, `plugins-runtime-services`,
+`plugins-runtime-install-a`, `plugins-runtime-install-b`,
+`plugins-runtime-install-c`, `plugins-runtime-install-d`,
+`bundled-channels-core`, `bundled-channels-update-a`,
+`bundled-channels-update-b`, and `bundled-channels-contracts`. The aggregate
+`bundled-channels`, `plugins-runtime-core`, `plugins-runtime`, and
+`plugins-integrations` chunks remain valid for manual one-shot reruns, but
+release checks use the split chunks.
+
+When live suites are enabled, the workflow shards broad native `pnpm test:live`
+coverage through `scripts/test-live-shard.mjs` instead of one serial `live-all`
+job:
+
+- `native-live-src-agents`
+- `native-live-src-gateway-core`
+- `native-live-src-gateway-profiles` (release CI runs this with provider
+  filters such as `OPENCLAW_LIVE_GATEWAY_PROVIDERS=anthropic`)
+- `native-live-src-gateway-backends`
+- `native-live-test`
+- `native-live-extensions-a-k`
+- `native-live-extensions-l-n`
+- `native-live-extensions-openai`
+- `native-live-extensions-o-z`
+- `native-live-extensions-o-z-other`
+- `native-live-extensions-xai`

+- `native-live-extensions-media-music`
+- `native-live-extensions-media-music-google`
+- `native-live-extensions-media-music-minimax`
+- `native-live-extensions-media-video`
+
+Use `node scripts/test-live-shard.mjs <shard> --list` to see the exact files
+before rerunning a failed native live shard. The aggregate `o-z` and `media`
+shards remain useful locally; release CI uses the smaller provider/media shards
+so one live-provider flake does not force a broad native live rerun.
+
+For model-list or provider-selection fixes, use `live_models_only=true` plus the
+specific `live_model_providers` allowlist. Confirm logs show the expected
+`OPENCLAW_LIVE_PROVIDERS` and selected model ids before declaring proof.
+
+## Docker
+
+Docker is expensive. First inspect the scheduler without running Docker:
+
+```bash
+OPENCLAW_DOCKER_ALL_DRY_RUN=1 pnpm test:docker:all
+OPENCLAW_DOCKER_ALL_DRY_RUN=1 OPENCLAW_DOCKER_ALL_LANES=install-e2e pnpm test:docker:all
+OPENCLAW_DOCKER_ALL_LANES=install-e2e node scripts/test-docker-all.mjs --plan-json
+```
+
+Run one failed lane locally only when explicitly asked or when GitHub is not
+usable:
+
+```bash
+OPENCLAW_DOCKER_ALL_LANES=<lane> \
+OPENCLAW_DOCKER_ALL_BUILD=0 \
+OPENCLAW_DOCKER_ALL_PREFLIGHT=0 \
+OPENCLAW_SKIP_DOCKER_BUILD=1 \
+OPENCLAW_DOCKER_E2E_BARE_IMAGE='<prepared-bare-image>' \
+OPENCLAW_DOCKER_E2E_FUNCTIONAL_IMAGE='<prepared-functional-image>' \
+pnpm test:docker:all
+```
+
+For release validation, prefer the reusable GitHub workflow input:
+
+```yaml
+docker_lanes: install-e2e
+```
+
+Multiple lanes are allowed:
+
+```yaml
+docker_lanes: install-e2e bundled-channel-update-acpx
+```
+
+That skips the release chunk matrix and runs one targeted Docker job against the
+prepared GHCR images and the selected package artifact. Rerun commands
+generated inside GitHub artifacts include `package_artifact_run_id`,
+`package_artifact_name`, `docker_e2e_bare_image`, and
+`docker_e2e_functional_image` when available, so failed lanes can reuse the
+exact tarball and prepared images from the failed run. When the fix changes
+package contents, omit those reuse inputs so the workflow packs a new tarball.
+Live-only targeted reruns skip the E2E images and build only the live-test
+image. Release-path normal mode fans out into smaller Docker chunk jobs:
+
+- `core`
+- `package-update-openai`
+- `package-update-anthropic`
+- `package-update-core`
+- `plugins-runtime-plugins`
+- `plugins-runtime-services`
+- `plugins-runtime-install-a`
+- `plugins-runtime-install-b`
+- `plugins-runtime-install-c`
+- `plugins-runtime-install-d`
+- `bundled-channels`
+
+OpenWebUI is folded into `plugins-runtime-services` for full release-path
+coverage and keeps a standalone `openwebui` chunk only for OpenWebUI-only
+dispatches. The legacy `package-update`, `plugins-runtime-core`,
+`plugins-runtime`, and `plugins-integrations` chunks still work as aggregate
+aliases for manual reruns, but the release workflow uses the split chunks so
+provider installer checks, plugin runtime checks, bundled plugin
+install/uninstall shards, and bundled-channel checks can run on separate
+machines. The bundled-channel runtime-dependency coverage
+inside `bundled-channels`
+uses the split `bundled-channel-*` and `bundled-channel-update-*` lanes rather
+than the serial `bundled-channel-deps` lane, so failures produce cheap targeted
+reruns for the exact channel/update scenario. The bundled plugin
+install/uninstall sweep is also split into
+`bundled-plugin-install-uninstall-0` through
+`bundled-plugin-install-uninstall-7`; selecting the legacy
+`bundled-plugin-install-uninstall` lane expands to all eight shards.
+
+## Package Acceptance
+
+Use the manual `Package Acceptance` workflow when the question is "does this
+installable package work as a product?" rather than "does this source diff pass
+Vitest?"
+
+In release validation, treat Package Acceptance as the package-candidate shard
+inside the larger release umbrella, not as a competing full-test path. Full
+Release Validation and private release gauntlets should call Package Acceptance
+for tarball resolution, Docker product/package proof, and optional Telegram QA
+against the same resolved `package-under-test` artifact; keep orchestration,
+secret policy, blocking/advisory status, and evidence rollup in the caller.
+
+Good defaults:
+
+```bash
+gh workflow run package-acceptance.yml --ref main \
+  -f source=npm \
+  -f workflow_ref=main \
+  -f package_spec=openclaw@beta \
+  -f suite_profile=product \
+  -f telegram_mode=mock-openai
+```
+
+Npm candidate selection:
+
+- Resolve the registry immediately before dispatch:
+  `npm view openclaw dist-tags --json --prefer-online --cache /tmp/openclaw-npm-cache-verify-$$`
+  and `npm view openclaw@beta version dist.tarball dist.integrity --json --prefer-online --cache /tmp/openclaw-npm-cache-verify-$$`.
+- If Peter asks for "latest beta", use `source=npm` with
+  `package_spec=openclaw@beta`, then record the resolved version from `npm view`
+  or the workflow summary.
+- For reruns, release proof, or comparing one known package, prefer the exact
+  immutable spec: `package_spec=openclaw@YYYY.M.D-beta.N` or
+  `package_spec=openclaw@YYYY.M.D`.
+- For stable package proof, use `package_spec=openclaw@latest` only when the
+  question is explicitly the current stable dist-tag; otherwise pin the exact
+  version.
+- `source=npm` only accepts registry specs for `openclaw@beta`,
+  `openclaw@latest`, or exact OpenClaw release versions. Do not pass semver
+  ranges, git refs, file paths, tarball URLs, or plugin package names there.
+- If the candidate is a tarball URL, use `source=url` with `package_sha256`. If
+  it is an Actions tarball artifact, use `source=artifact`. If it is an
+  unpublished source candidate, use `source=ref` with a trusted ref or SHA.
+- Package acceptance tests exactly the selected package candidate. Do not apply
+  `openclaw update --channel beta` fallback semantics here; if `beta` is absent,
+  stale, older than `latest`, or points at a broken tarball, report that tag
+  state instead of silently testing `latest`.
+
+Profiles:
+
+- `smoke`: quick confidence that the tarball installs, can onboard a channel,
+  can run an agent turn, and basic gateway/config lanes work.
+- `package`: release-package contract. Adds installer/update, doctor install
+  switching, bundled plugin runtime deps, plugin install/update, and package
+  repair lanes. This is the default native replacement for most Parallels
+  package/update coverage.
+- `product`: package profile plus broader product surfaces: MCP channels,
+  cron/subagent cleanup, OpenAI web search, and OpenWebUI.
+- `full`: split Docker release-path chunks with OpenWebUI.
+- `custom`: exact `docker_lanes` list for a focused rerun.
+
+Candidate sources:
+
+- `source=npm`: `openclaw@beta`, `openclaw@latest`, or an exact release version.
+- `source=ref`: pack `package_ref` using the trusted `workflow_ref` harness.
+  This intentionally separates old package commits from new workflow/test code.
+- `source=url`: HTTPS `.tgz` plus required `package_sha256`.
+- `source=artifact`: download one `.tgz` from `artifact_run_id`/`artifact_name`.
+
+Ref model:
+
+- `gh workflow run ... --ref <workflow-ref>` selects the workflow file revision
+  GitHub executes.
+- `workflow_ref` is the trusted harness/script ref passed to reusable Docker
+  E2E.
+- `package_ref` is the source ref to build when `source=ref`. It can be an
+  older branch/tag/SHA as long as it is reachable from an OpenClaw branch or
+  release tag.
+
+Example: run latest package acceptance harness against an older trusted commit:
+
+```bash
+gh workflow run package-acceptance.yml --ref main \
+  -f workflow_ref=main \
+  -f source=ref \
+  -f package_ref=<branch-or-sha> \
+  -f suite_profile=package \
+  -f telegram_mode=mock-openai
+```
+
+Use `telegram_mode=mock-openai` or `telegram_mode=live-frontier` when the same
+resolved `package-under-test` tarball should also run through the Telegram QA
+workflow in the `qa-live-shared` environment. The standalone Telegram workflow
+still accepts a published npm spec for post-publish checks, but Package
+Acceptance passes the resolved artifact for `source=npm`, `ref`, `url`, and
+`artifact`. Use `telegram_mode=none` only when intentionally skipping Telegram
+credentialed package proof for a focused rerun.
+
+Docker E2E images never copy repo sources as the app under test: the bare image
+is a Node/Git runner, and the functional image installs the same prebuilt npm
+tarball that bare lanes mount. `scripts/package-openclaw-for-docker.mjs` is the
+single packer for local scripts and CI and validates the tarball inventory
+before Docker consumes it. `scripts/test-docker-all.mjs --plan-json` is the
+scheduler-owned CI plan for image kind, package, live image, lane, and
+credential needs. Docker lane definitions live in the single scenario catalog
+`scripts/lib/docker-e2e-scenarios.mjs`; planner logic lives in
+`scripts/lib/docker-e2e-plan.mjs`. `scripts/docker-e2e.mjs` converts plan and
+summary JSON into GitHub outputs and step summaries. Every scheduler run writes
+`.artifacts/docker-tests/**/summary.json` plus `failures.json`. Read those
+before rerunning. Lane entries include `command`, `rerunCommand`, status,
+timing, timeout state, image kind, and log file path. The summary also includes
+top-level phase timings for preflight, image build, package prep, lane pools,
+and cleanup. Use `pnpm test:docker:timings <summary.json>` to rank slow lanes
+and phases before deciding whether a broader rerun is justified.
+
+## Cheap Docker Reruns
+
+First derive the smallest rerun command from artifacts:
+
+```bash
+pnpm test:docker:rerun <github-run-id>
+pnpm test:docker:rerun .artifacts/docker-tests/<run>/failures.json
+```
+
+The script downloads Docker E2E artifacts for a GitHub run, reads
+`summary.json`/`failures.json`, and prints a combined targeted workflow command
+plus per-lane commands. Prefer the combined targeted command when several lanes
+failed for the same patch:
+
+```bash
+gh workflow run openclaw-live-and-e2e-checks-reusable.yml \
+  -f ref=<sha> \
+  -f include_repo_e2e=false \
+  -f include_release_path_suites=false \
+  -f include_openwebui=false \
+  -f docker_lanes='install-e2e bundled-channel-update-acpx' \
+  -f include_live_suites=false \
+  -f live_models_only=false
+```
+
+That path still runs the prepare job, so it creates a new tarball for `<sha>`.
+If the SHA-tagged GHCR bare/functional image already exists, CI skips rebuilding
+that image and only uploads the fresh package artifact before the targeted lane
+job. Do not rerun the full release path unless the failed lane list
+or touched surface really requires it.
+
+## Docker Expected Timings
+
+Treat these as ballpark. Blacksmith queue time, GHCR pull speed, provider
+latency, npm cache state, and Docker daemon health can dominate.
+
+Current local timing artifact (`.artifacts/docker-tests/lane-timings.json`) has
+these rough bands:
+
+- Tiny lanes, seconds to under 1 minute:
+  `agents-delete-shared-workspace` ~3s, `plugin-update` ~7s,
+  `config-reload` ~14s, `pi-bundle-mcp-tools` ~15s, `onboard` ~18s,
+  `session-runtime-context` ~20s, `gateway-network` ~34s, `qr` ~44s.
+- Medium deterministic lanes, ~1-5 minutes:
+  `npm-onboard-channel-agent` ~96s, `openai-image-auth` ~99s,
+  bundled channel/update lanes usually ~90-300s when split, `openwebui` ~225s,
+  `mcp-channels` ~274s.
+- Heavy deterministic lanes, ~6-10 minutes:
+  `bundled-channel-root-owned` ~429s,
+  `bundled-channel-setup-entry` ~420s,
+  `bundled-channel-load-failure` ~383s,
+  `cron-mcp-cleanup` ~567s.
+- Live provider lanes, often ~15-20 minutes:
+  `live-gateway` ~958s, `live-models` ~1054s.
+- Installer/release lanes:
+  `install-e2e` and package-update paths can vary widely with npm, provider,
+  and package registry behavior. Budget tens of minutes; prefer GitHub targeted
+  reruns over local repeats.
+
+Default fallback lane timeout is 120 minutes. A timeout usually means debug the
+lane log/artifacts first, not “run the whole thing again.”
+
+## Failure Workflow
+
+1. Identify exact failing job, SHA, lane, and artifact path.
+2. Read `failures.json`, `summary.json`, and the failed lane log tail.
+3. Use `pnpm test:docker:rerun <run-id|failures.json>` to generate targeted
+   GitHub rerun commands.
+4. If the lane has `rerunCommand`, use that only as a local starting point.
+5. For Docker release failures, dispatch targeted `docker_lanes=<failed-lane>`
+   on GitHub before considering local Docker.
+6. Patch narrowly, then rerun the failed file/lane only.
+7. Broaden to `pnpm check:changed` or CI only after the isolated proof passes.
+
+## When To Escalate
+
+- Public SDK/plugin contract changes: run changed gate plus relevant extension
+  validation.
+- Build output, lazy imports, package boundaries, or published surfaces:
+  include `pnpm build`.
+- Workflow edits: run `pnpm check:workflows`.
+- Release branch or tag validation: use release docs and GitHub workflows; avoid
+  local Docker unless Peter explicitly asks.

+For issues, verify likely duplicate issue state and comments live:
 
-- `code similar` suggests PRs with similar change shape
-- `code clusters for-pr` shows the PR’s nearby code cluster
-- `issues for-pr` shows which issue clusters the PR appears to belong to
-- `issues duplicate-prs` is useful for spotting already-known duplicate PR patterns
+```bash
+gh issue view <candidate-issue> --json number,title,state,body,comments,closedAt
+```
 
-Treat every `pr-search-cli` result as a hint to investigate, not as enough evidence to create or widen a duplicate group.
-Multiple PRs can share the same issue or issue cluster while still taking meaningfully different fix paths.
+## Step 3: Use Live GitHub Search For Gaps
 
-For an issue:
+Use targeted live GitHub search after `gitcrawl` when:
 
-- use `ghreplica` first to find candidate PRs or issue wording
-- if the issue has linked PRs or a likely implementation PR, run `pr-search-cli` on those PRs
-- treat issue-cluster output as supporting context, not as enough by itself to call the issue a duplicate
+- the target is too new for the local store
+- comments or reviews matter and the local store lacks them
+- the exact phrase did not appear in local results but the issue/PR is current enough that GitHub should know it
+
+```bash
+gh search prs --repo openclaw/openclaw --match title,body --limit 50 -- "<key phrase>"
+gh search issues --repo openclaw/openclaw --match title,body --limit 50 -- "<key phrase>"
+gh search issues --repo openclaw/openclaw --match comments --limit 50 -- "<error or maintainer phrase>"
+```

 ## Unreleased
 
+### Changes
+
+- Channels: add Yuanbao channel docs entrance so the Tencent Yuanbao bot appears in the channel listing and sidebar navigation. (#73443) Thanks @loongfay.
+- Active Memory: add optional per-conversation `allowedChatIds` and `deniedChatIds` filters so operators can enable recall only for selected direct, group, or channel conversations while keeping broad sessions skipped. (#67977) Thanks @quengh.
+- Active Memory: return bounded partial recall summaries when the hidden memory sub-agent times out, including the default temporary-transcript path, so useful recovered context is not discarded. (#73219) Thanks @joeykrug.
+- Docker setup: add `OPENCLAW_SKIP_ONBOARDING` so automated Docker installs can skip the interactive onboarding step while still applying gateway defaults. (#55518) Thanks @jinjimz.
+
 ### Fixes
 
-- Gateway/Bonjour: keep @homebridge/ciao cancellation handlers registered across advertiser restarts so late probing cancellations cannot crash Linux and other mDNS-churned gateways. Thanks @codex.
-- Plugins/startup: load the default `memory-core` slot during Gateway startup when permitted so active-memory recall can call `memory_search` and `memory_get` without requiring an explicit `plugins.slots.memory` entry, while preserving `plugins.slots.memory: "none"`. Thanks @codex.
+- Plugin SDK/Discord: restore a deprecated `openclaw/plugin-sdk/discord` compatibility facade and the legacy compat group-policy warning export for the published `@openclaw/discord@2026.3.13` package, covering its config, account, directory, status, and thread-binding imports while keeping new plugins on generic SDK subpaths. Fixes #73685; supersedes #73703. Thanks @rderickson9 and @SymbolStar.
+- Channels/Discord: suppress duplicate gateway monitors when multiple enabled accounts resolve to the same bot token, preferring config tokens over default env fallback and reporting skipped duplicates as disabled. Supersedes #73608. Thanks @kagura-agent.
+- Control UI/Talk: decode Google Live binary WebSocket JSON frames and stop queued browser audio on interruption or shutdown, so browser Talk leaves `Connecting Talk...` and barge-in no longer plays stale audio. Fixes #73601 and #73460; supersedes #73466. Thanks @Spolen23 and @WadydX.
+- Channels/Discord: ignore stale route-shaped conversation bindings after a Discord channel is reconfigured to another agent, while preserving explicit focus and subagent bindings. Fixes #73626. Thanks @ramitrkar-hash.
+- Agents/bootstrap: pass pending BOOTSTRAP.md contents through the first-run user prompt while keeping them out of privileged system context, and show limited bootstrap guidance when workspace file access is unavailable. Fixes #73622. Thanks @mark1010.
+- ACP/tasks: classify parent-owned ACP sessions as background work regardless of persistent runtime mode, and close terminal stale ACP sessions when no active binding remains, so delegated ACP output reports through the parent task notifier instead of acting like a normal foreground chat session. Refs #73609. Thanks @joerod26.
+- Tasks: keep terminal mirrored TaskFlow timestamps pinned to task completion time and let maintenance repair stale mirrors, so ACP terminal delivery updates no longer leave inconsistent flow audits. Refs #73609. Thanks @joerod26.
+- Gateway/sessions: add conservative stuck-session recovery that releases only stale session lanes while active embedded runs, reply operations, and lane tasks remain serialized, so queued follow-ups can drain without aborting legitimate long-running turns. Refs #73581, #73655, #73652, #73705, #73647, #73602, #73592, and #73601. Thanks @WS-Q0758, @bryangauvin, @spenceryang1996-dot, @bmilne1981, @mattmcintyre, @Vksh07, and @Spolen23.
+- Plugins: cache unchanged plugin manifest loads by file signature, reducing repeated JSON/JSON5 parsing and manifest normalization in bursty startup and runtime registry paths. Refs #73532 and #73647; carries forward #73678. Thanks @TheDutchRuler.
+- Plugins/runtime-deps: cache unchanged bundled runtime mirror dist-file materialization decisions and close file-lock handles on owner-write failures, reducing repeated startup chunk scans and avoiding FileHandle-GC recovery stalls. Refs #73532. Thanks @oadiazp and @bstanbury.
+- CLI/TUI: keep `chat.history` off model-catalog discovery so initial Gateway-backed TUI history loads cannot block behind slow provider/plugin model scans on low-core hosts. Refs #73524. Thanks @harshcatsystems-collab.
+- Channels/WhatsApp: flag recently reconnected linked accounts in channel status even when the socket is currently healthy, so flapping WhatsApp Web sessions no longer look clean after a brief reconnect. Refs #73602. Thanks @Vksh07.
+- Gateway: expose `gateway.handshakeTimeoutMs` in config, schema, and docs while preserving `OPENCLAW_HANDSHAKE_TIMEOUT_MS` precedence, so loaded or low-powered hosts can tune local WebSocket pre-auth handshakes without patching dist files. Supersedes #51282; refs #73592 and #73652. Thanks @henry-the-frog.
+- Agents/model selection: resolve slash-form aliases before provider/model parsing and keep alias-resolved primary models subject to transient provider cooldowns, so cron and persisted sessions do not retry cooled-down raw aliases. Fixes #73573 and #73657. Thanks @akai-shuuichi and @hashslingers.
+- Agents/Claude CLI: reuse already-cached macOS Keychain credentials for no-prompt Claude credential reads, so doctor/runtime checks do not miss fresh interactive Claude auth. Fixes #73682. Thanks @RyanSandoval.
+- Agents/transcripts: strip empty assistant text blocks while preserving valid text, images, and signatures, so Anthropic-style providers no longer reject sanitized transcript turns. Fixes #73640. Thanks @jowhee327.
+- Providers/Bedrock: omit deprecated `temperature` for Claude Opus 4.7 Bedrock model ids, named and application inference profiles, including dotted `opus-4.7` refs, and classify the nested validation response for failover. Fixes #73663. Thanks @bstanbury.
+- Gateway: raise the preauth/connect-challenge timeout to 15s so cold CLI starts on slower hosts have more time to process the WebSocket challenge before the Gateway closes the connection. Fixes #51469; refs #73592 and #62060. Thanks @GothicFox and @jackychen-png.
+- CLI/status: fall back to a bounded local `status` RPC when loopback detail probes time out or report unknown capability, so reachable local gateways are no longer marked unreachable by slow read diagnostics. Fixes #73535; refs #48360, #62762, #51357, and #42019. Thanks @RacecarGuy, @justinschille, @DJBlackhawk, @tianyaqpzm, and @0xrsydn.
+- CLI/gateway: reuse cached paired-device auth during `gateway probe` and report post-connect diagnostic failures as degraded reachability, so healthy local gateways are no longer marked unreachable after loopback auth or read timeouts. Fixes #48360. Thanks @RacecarGuy.
+- Channels/Discord: give Discord Gateway WebSocket handshakes a 30s timeout so stalled TLS/network transitions emit an error and Carbon can continue its reconnect loop instead of leaving the bot silent until restart. Refs #50046. Thanks @codexGW.
+- NVIDIA/NIM: persist the `NVIDIA_API_KEY` provider marker and mark bundled NVIDIA Chat Completions models as string-content compatible, so NIM models load from `models.json` and OpenAI-compatible subagent calls send plain text content. Fixes #73013 and #50107; refs #73014. Thanks @bautrey, @iot2edge, @ifearghal, and @futhgar.
+- Channels/Discord: let text-only configs drop the `GuildVoiceStates` gateway intent and expose a bounded `/gateway/bot` metadata timeout with rate-limited fallback logs, reducing idle CPU and warning floods. Fixes #73709 and #73585. Thanks @sanchezm86 and @trac3r00.
+- Agents/sessions: mark same-turn `sessions_send` and A2A reply prompts with an inter-session `isUser=false` envelope before they reach the model, so foreign session output no longer lands as bare active user text. Fixes #73702; refs #73698, #73609, #73595, and #73622. Thanks @alvelda.
+- Outbound/security: strip known internal runtime scaffolding such as `<system-reminder>` and `<previous_response>` at the final channel delivery boundary and keep Discord output on targeted tag stripping, so degraded harness replies cannot leak those tags to users. Fixes #73595. Thanks @gabrielexito-stack and @martingarramon.
+- CLI/plugins: use plugin metadata snapshots for install slot selection and add opt-in plugin lifecycle timing traces, so plugin install avoids runtime-loading the plugin registry for metadata-only decisions. Thanks @shakkernerd.
+- fix(plugins): restrict bundled plugin dir resolution to trusted package roots. (#73275) Thanks @pgondhi987.
+- fix(security): prevent workspace PATH injection via service env and trash helpers. (#73264) Thanks @pgondhi987.
+- Active Memory: allow `allowedChatTypes` to include explicit portal/webchat sessions and classify `agent:...:explicit:...` session keys before opaque session ids can shadow the chat type. Fixes #65775. (#66285) Thanks @Lidang-Jiang.
+- Active Memory: allow the hidden recall sub-agent to use both `memory_recall` and the legacy `memory_search`/`memory_get` memory tool contract, so bundled `memory-lancedb` recall works without breaking the default `memory-core` path. Fixes #73502. (#73584) Thanks @Takhoffman.
+- fix(device-pairing): validate callerScopes against resolved token scopes on repair [AI]. (#72925) Thanks @pgondhi987.
+- Active Memory docs: document the `cacheTtlMs` 1000-120000 ms range and 15000 ms default so setup snippets do not lead users past the schema limit. Fixes #65708. (#65737) Thanks @WuKongAI-CMU.
+- fix(agents): canonicalize provider aliases in byProvider tool policy lookup [AI]. (#72917) Thanks @pgondhi987.
+- fix(security): block npm_execpath injection from workspace .env [AI-assisted]. (#73262) Thanks @pgondhi987.
+- Tools/web_fetch: decode response bodies from raw bytes using declared HTTP, XML, or HTML meta charsets before extraction, so Shift_JIS and other legacy-charset pages no longer return mojibake. Fixes #72916. Thanks @amknight.
+- Active Memory: skip payload-less `memory_search` transcript tool results when building debug telemetry, so newer empty entries no longer hide the latest useful debug payload. (#68773) Thanks @SimbaKingjoe.
+- Active Memory: keep recall setup time from consuming the configured model timeout while giving the hook runner an explicit bounded budget for the plugin, so slow embedded-run setup no longer causes immediate recall timeouts. Fixes #72606. (#72620) Thanks @hyspacex.
+- Channels/Discord: bound message read/search REST calls, route those actions through Gateway execution, and fall back to `CommandTargetSessionKey` for inbound hook session keys so Discord reads do not hang and hooks still fire when `SessionKey` is empty. Fixes #73431. (#73521) Thanks @amknight.
+- Plugins/media: auto-enable provider plugins referenced by `agents.defaults.imageGenerationModel`, `videoGenerationModel`, and `musicGenerationModel` primary/fallback refs, so configured Google and MiniMax media providers do not stay disabled behind a restrictive plugin allowlist. Thanks @vincentkoc.
+- Memory-core/dreaming: retry managed dreaming cron registration after startup when the cron service is not reachable yet, so the scheduled Memory Dreaming Promotion sweep recovers without waiting for heartbeat traffic. Fixes #72841. Thanks @amknight.
+- Acpx/runtime: validate the runtime session mode at the `AcpxRuntime.ensureSession` wrapper boundary so callers that pass anything other than `persistent` or `oneshot` get a clear `ACP_INVALID_RUNTIME_OPTION` error instead of silently round-tripping through the encoded handle as a default `persistent` mode and later throwing `SessionResumeRequiredError`. Investigation context: #73071. (#73548) Thanks @amknight.
+- CLI/infer: keep web-search fallback on missing provider API keys, preserve structured validation errors from the selected provider, and let per-request image describe prompts override configured media-entry prompts. (#63263) Thanks @Spolen23.
+- Chat commands: include configured model-catalog reasoning metadata when building `/think` argument menus so Ollama Cloud and other provider-owned reasoning models show supported levels instead of only `off`. Fixes #73515; supersedes #73568. Thanks @danielzinhu99 and @neeravmakwana.
+- Channels/Telegram: suppress generic tool-progress chatter when preview streaming is off, so non-streaming Telegram turns only deliver final replies while approvals, media, and errors still route normally. Refs #72363 and #72482. Thanks @neeravmakwana and @SweetSophia.
+- CLI/model probes: add repeatable image `--file` inputs to `infer model run` for local and gateway multimodal model smokes, so vision models such as Ollama Qwen VL and Gemini can be tested through the raw model-probe surface. Fixes #63700. Thanks @cedricjanssens.
+- CLI/model probes: request trusted operator scope for `infer model run --gateway --model <provider/model>` so Gateway raw model smokes can use one-off provider/model overrides instead of being rejected before provider auth resolution. Fixes #73759. Thanks @chrislro.
+- CLI/image describe: pass `--prompt` and `--timeout-ms` through `infer image describe` and `describe-many`, so custom vision instructions and slow local model budgets reach media-understanding providers such as Ollama, OpenAI, Google, and OpenRouter. Refs #63700. Thanks @cedricjanssens.
+- Model selection: include the rejected provider/model ref and allowlist recovery hint when a stored session override is cleared, so local model selections such as Gemma GGUF variants do not fall back to the default with a generic message. Refs #71069. Thanks @CyberRaccoonTeam.
+- WhatsApp/Web: pass explicit Baileys socket timings into every WhatsApp Web socket and expose `web.whatsapp.*` keepalive, connect, and query timeout settings so unstable networks can avoid repeated 408 disconnect and opening-handshake timeout loops. Fixes #56365. (#73580) Thanks @velvet-shark.
+- Channels/Telegram: persist native command metadata on target sessions so topic, helper, and ACP-bound slash commands keep their session metadata attached to the routed conversation. (#57548) Thanks @GaosCode.
+- Channels/native commands: keep validated native slash command replies visible in group chats while preserving explicit owner allowlists for command authorization. (#73672) Thanks @obviyus.
+- Pairing/doctor: bootstrap `commands.ownerAllowFrom` from the first approved DM pairing when no command owner exists, and have doctor explain missing owners so privileged slash commands are not accidentally unusable after onboarding. Thanks @pashpashpash.
+- Telegram/exec: infer native exec approvers from `commands.ownerAllowFrom` and auto-enable the Telegram approval client when an owner is resolvable, so owner-only commands such as `/diagnostics` can be approved in Telegram without duplicate per-channel approver config. Thanks @pashpashpash.
+- Auto-reply/session: carry the tail of user/assistant turns into the freshly-rotated transcript on silent in-reply session resets (compaction failure, role-ordering conflict) so direct-chat continuity survives the rebind. Fixes #70853. (#70898) Thanks @neeravmakwana.
+- Config: skip malformed non-string `env.vars` entries before env-reference checks, so config loading no longer crashes on JSON values like numbers or booleans. (#42402) Thanks @MiltonHeYan.

+## 2026.4.27
+
+### Changes
+
+- Sandbox/Docker: add opt-in `sandbox.docker.gpus` passthrough for Docker sandbox containers so local GPU workloads can run inside sandboxed agents when the host Docker runtime supports `--gpus`. Fixes #57976; carries forward #58124. Thanks @cyan-ember.
+- iOS/Gateway: add an authenticated `node.presence.alive` protocol event and `node.list` last-seen fields so background iOS wakes can mark paired nodes recently alive without treating them as connected. Carries forward #63123. Thanks @ngutman.
+- Android: publish authenticated `node.presence.alive` events after node connect and background transitions so paired Android nodes retain durable last-seen metadata after disconnects. Carries forward #63123. Thanks @ngutman.
+- Gateway/chat: accept non-image attachments through `chat.send` by staging them as agent-readable media paths, while keeping unsupported RPC attachment paths explicit instead of silently dropping files. Fixes #48123. (#67572) Thanks @samzong.
+- Security/networking: add opt-in operator-managed outbound proxy routing (proxy.enabled + proxy.proxyUrl/OPENCLAW_PROXY_URL) with strict http:// forward-proxy validation, loopback-only Gateway bypass, and cleanup of proxy env/dispatcher state on exit. (#70044) Thanks @jesse-merhi and @joshavant.
+- Dependencies: refresh provider and tooling dependencies, including AWS SDK, PI runtime packages, AJV, Feishu SDK, Anthropic SDK, tokenjuice, and native TypeScript/oxlint tooling. Thanks @dependabot.
+- Matrix/QA: add live Matrix approval scenarios for exec metadata, chunked fallback, plugin approvals, deny reactions, thread targeting, and `target: "both"` delivery, with redacted artifacts preserving safe approval summaries. Thanks @gumadeiras.
+- Diagnostics/Codex: add owner-only core `/diagnostics` with a sensitive-data preamble, docs link, and explicit Gateway export approval guidance; Codex harness sessions also ask before uploading Codex feedback for the attached thread and print the matching `codex resume <thread-id>` inspection command after confirmed upload. Thanks @pashpashpash.
+- Trajectory export: route `/export-trajectory` through per-run exec approval, send group-chat approval prompts and export results only to the owner privately, and add `openclaw sessions export-trajectory` for the approved command path. Thanks @pashpashpash.
+- Codex: add Computer Use setup for Codex-mode agents, including `/codex computer-use status/install`, marketplace discovery, optional auto-install, and fail-closed MCP server checks before Codex-mode turns start. Fixes #72094. (#71842) Thanks @pash-openai.
+- Apps: consume Peekaboo 3.0.0-beta4 and ElevenLabsKit 0.1.1, align Swabble on Commander 0.2.2, and refresh macOS/iOS SwiftPM resolutions against the released dependency graph. Thanks @Blaizzy.
+- Plugin SDK: expose shared channel route normalization, parser-driven target resolution, raw-target compact keys, parsed-target types, and route comparison helpers through `openclaw/plugin-sdk/channel-route`, switch native approval origin matching onto that route contract with optional delivery and match-only target normalization, and retire the internal channel-route shim behind dated compatibility aliases for legacy key/comparable-target helpers. Thanks @vincentkoc.
+- Docs/Codex: document how Codex Computer Use, direct `cua-driver mcp`, and OpenClaw.app's PeekabooBridge fit together so desktop-control setup choices are clearer. Thanks @pash-openai and @trycua.
+- Matrix/streaming: stream tool-progress updates into live Matrix preview edits by default when preview streaming is active, with `streaming.preview.toolProgress: false` to keep answer previews while hiding interim tool lines. Thanks @gumadeiras.
+- Plugins/models: wire manifest `modelCatalog.aliases` and `modelCatalog.suppressions` into model-catalog planning and built-in model suppression, with stale Spark and Qwen Coding Plan suppressions now declared in plugin manifests instead of runtime fallback hooks. Thanks @shakkernerd.
+- Plugin SDK/models: add a shared manifest-backed provider catalog builder and move Qianfan, Xiaomi, NVIDIA, Cerebras, Mistral, Moonshot, DeepSeek, Tencent TokenHub, and StepFun provider catalogs onto their plugin manifest `modelCatalog` rows. Thanks @shakkernerd.
+- Plugin SDK/models: move BytePlus and Volcano Engine standard and plan-provider catalogs into plugin manifest `modelCatalog` rows and remove the now-unused Volcengine-family shared catalog SDK subpath. Thanks @shakkernerd.
+- CLI/models: move Fireworks and Together AI fixed provider catalogs into plugin manifest `modelCatalog` rows so provider-filtered listing can use manifest-backed static rows. Thanks @shakkernerd.
+- Channels/Yuanbao: register the Tencent Yuanbao external channel plugin (`openclaw-plugin-yuanbao`) in the official channel catalog, contract suites, and community plugin docs, with a new `docs/channels/yuanbao.md` quick-start guide for WebSocket bot DMs and group chats. (#72756) Thanks @loongfay.
+- Channels/QQBot: add full group chat support (history tracking, @-mention gating, activation modes, per-group config, FIFO message queue with deliver debounce), C2C `stream_messages` streaming with a `StreamingController` lifecycle manager, unified `sendMedia` with chunked upload for large files, and refactor the engine into pipeline stages, focused outbound submodules, builtin slash-command modules, and explicit DI ports via `createEngineAdapters()`. (#70624) Thanks @cxyhhhhh.
+- Plugins/startup: migrate bundled plugin manifests to explicit `activation.onStartup` declarations so Gateway startup imports only the bundled plugins that intentionally register startup-time runtime surfaces. Thanks @shakkernerd.
+- Plugins/startup: add an opt-in future-mode gate for disabling deprecated implicit startup sidecar loading while preserving explicit startup and narrower activation triggers. Thanks @shakkernerd.
+- Plugins/startup: add plugin compatibility warnings for deprecated implicit startup loading so authors can migrate to explicit `activation.onStartup` metadata. Thanks @shakkernerd.
+- Plugins/runtime: load bundled agent tool-result middleware from manifest contracts on demand so tokenjuice stays startup-lazy without losing Pi/Codex tool-output compaction. Thanks @shakkernerd.
+- Plugins/startup: add explicit `activation.onStartup` metadata so plugins can declare Gateway startup import behavior while the deprecated implicit sidecar fallback remains for legacy plugins. Thanks @shakkernerd.
+- Gateway/startup: reuse lookup-table plugin manifests when loading startup plugins so Gateway boot avoids rebuilding plugin discovery and manifest metadata. Thanks @shakkernerd.
+- CLI/models: declare fixed Qianfan, Xiaomi, NVIDIA, Cerebras, Mistral, Chutes, Kilo, OpenAI, and OpenCode Go model catalogs in refreshable plugin manifests, keep broad `models list --all` on raw registry and supplement rows without runtime normalization, and avoid duplicate supplement resolution. Thanks @shakkernerd.
+- Gateway/runtime: reuse the current plugin metadata snapshot for provider discovery so repeated model-provider discovery avoids rebuilding plugin manifest metadata. Thanks @shakkernerd.
+- Gateway/startup: pass the plugin metadata snapshot from config validation into plugin bootstrap so startup reuses one manifest product instead of rebuilding plugin metadata. Thanks @shakkernerd.
+- Plugin SDK/testing: move core-only channel contract fixtures under the channel contract test tree and retire the old `test/helpers/channels` bridge directory so plugin tests stay on focused SDK surfaces. Thanks @vincentkoc.
+- Plugin SDK/testing: expose native agent-runtime contract fixtures through `plugin-sdk/agent-runtime-test-contracts`, move sandbox config fixtures into the focused generic fixture subpath, and block extension tests from importing repo-only `test/helpers` bridges. Thanks @vincentkoc.
+- Plugin SDK/testing: expose generic module reload, bundled-path, Node builtin mock, channel pairing/envelope, HTTP server, temp-home, replay-policy, and live STT helpers through focused SDK test subpaths so extension tests no longer depend on repo-only helper bridges. Thanks @vincentkoc.
+- Plugin SDK: move maintained bundled channels off the deprecated `channel-config-schema-legacy` subpath, add an explicit bundled-channel schema SDK surface, and track both remaining legacy test/config compatibility barrels with dated removal windows. Thanks @vincentkoc.
+- Plugin SDK/testing: expose media provider capability assertions and provider HTTP mocks through focused SDK test subpaths, and retire the repo-only media-generation test helper bridge. Thanks @vincentkoc.
+- Plugin SDK/testing: promote bundled plugin/provider/channel contract helpers to focused SDK test subpaths and retire the repo-only `test/helpers/plugins` TypeScript bridge. Thanks @vincentkoc.
+- Plugin SDK/testing: expose generic channel action, setup, status, and directory contract helpers through `plugin-sdk/channel-test-helpers` so bundled extension tests no longer import repo-only channel helper bridges. Thanks @vincentkoc.
+- Plugin SDK/testing: add `plugin-sdk/channel-target-testing` for shared channel target-resolution cases, document channel reaction helpers on `plugin-sdk/channel-feedback`, and keep the old `plugin-sdk/test-utils` alias as compatibility-only. Thanks @vincentkoc.
+- Plugin SDK/testing: add a focused generic fixture subpath for CLI capture, sandbox, skill, agent-message, system-event, terminal, chunking, auth-token, and typed-case helpers. Thanks @vincentkoc.
+- Plugin SDK/testing: add focused plugin runtime and environment fixture subpaths so plugin tests can avoid the broad `plugin-sdk/testing` barrel for common setup helpers. Thanks @vincentkoc.
+- Plugin SDK/testing: add a focused `plugin-sdk/plugin-test-api` helper subpath and move bundled plugin registration tests off the repo-only plugin API bridge. Thanks @vincentkoc.
+- Plugin SDK: add generic host hooks for session state, next-turn context, trusted tool policy, UI descriptors, events, scheduler cleanup, and run-scoped plugin context. (#72287) Thanks @100yenadmin.
+- Plugin SDK/testing: expose provider catalog, wizard, registry, manifest, public-artifact, outbound, and TTS contract helpers through documented SDK testing seams so bundled plugin tests no longer import repo `src/**` internals. Thanks @vincentkoc.
+- Providers/DeepInfra: add a bundled DeepInfra provider with `DEEPINFRA_API_KEY` onboarding, dynamic OpenAI-compatible model discovery, image generation/editing, image/audio media understanding, TTS, text-to-video, memory embeddings, static catalog metadata, and provider-owned base URL policy. Carries forward #53805, #48088, #37576, #43896, #11533, and #2554. Thanks @ats3v.
+- Matrix: attach versioned structured approval metadata to pending approval messages so capable Matrix clients can render richer approval UI while body text and reaction fallback keep working. (#72432) Thanks @kakahu2015.
+
+### Fixes
+
+- BlueBubbles: tighten DM-vs-group routing across the outbound session route (`chat_guid:iMessage;-;...` DMs no longer classified as groups), reaction handling (drop group reactions that arrive without any chat identifier instead of synthesizing a `"group"` literal peerId), inbound `chatGuid` fallback (no longer fall back to the sender's DM chatGuid when resolving a group whose webhook omits chatGuid+chatId+chatIdentifier), and short message id resolution (carry caller chat context so a numeric short id reused after a long group conversation cannot silently resolve to a message in a different chat, with the same cross-chat guard applied to full GUIDs so retries cannot bypass it). Thanks @zqchris.
+- Agents/approvals: fail restart-interrupted sessions whose transcript tail is still `approval-pending` instead of replaying stale exec approval IDs into the new Gateway process after restart. Fixes #65486. Thanks @mjmai20682068-create.
+- CLI/Gateway: use method-specific least-privilege scopes for classified CLI Gateway calls while preserving legacy broad scopes for unclassified plugin methods, so read-only commands no longer create admin/write/pairing scope-upgrade prompts. Fixes #68634. Thanks @nightmusher.
+- Gateway/sessions: align `chat.history` and `sessions.list` thinking defaults with owning-agent and catalog-aware resolution so Control UI session defaults match backend runtime state. (#63418) Thanks @jpreagan.
+- Devices/pairing: recover array-shaped device and node pairing state files before persisting approvals, so UUID-keyed pending and paired entries no longer disappear after a malformed JSON store write. Fixes #63035. Thanks @sar618.
+- Gateway/auth: clear reused stale device tokens and stop reconnecting on device-token mismatch in the Control UI and Node gateway clients, avoiding rate-limit loops after scope-upgrade or token-rotation handoffs. Fixes #71609. Thanks @ricksayhi.
+- Gateway/approvals: treat duplicate same-decision approval resolves as idempotent during the resolved-entry grace window, including consumed `allow-once` approvals, while returning an explicit already-resolved error for conflicting repeats. Fixes #59162; refs #58479 and #65486. Thanks @wikithoughts, @sajazuniga7-coder, and @mjmai20682068-create.
+- Channels/Telegram: honor `approvals.exec/plugin.targets[].accountId` when routing native approvals across multi-bot Telegram accounts while preserving unscoped Telegram targets for any account. Fixes #69916. Thanks @joerod26.
+- Agents/exec: omit the internal session-resume fallback preface from successful async exec completion messages sent directly back to chat. Fixes #67181. Thanks @raistlin88.
+- Agents/media: register detached `video_generate` and `music_generate` tool run contexts until terminal status, so Discord-backed provider jobs stay live in `/tasks` instead of becoming `lost` when the parent chat run context disappears. Thanks @vincentkoc.
+- Agents/media: prefer OpenAI image and video providers when the default model uses the OpenAI Codex auth alias, so auto media generation no longer falls through to Fal before GPT Image or Sora. Thanks @vincentkoc.
+- Tasks/media: infer agent ownership for session-scoped task records so `/tasks` agent-local fallback includes session-backed `video_generate` and other async media jobs even when the current chat session has no linked rows. Thanks @vincentkoc.
+- Agents/media: keep long-running `video_generate` and `music_generate` tasks fresh while provider jobs are still pending, so task maintenance does not mark active Discord media renders lost before completion. Thanks @vincentkoc.
+- CLI/status: treat scope-limited gateway probes as reachable-but-degraded in shared status scans, so `openclaw status --all` no longer reports a live gateway as unreachable after `missing scope: operator.read`. Fixes #49180; supersedes #47981. Thanks @openjay.
+- Slack/Socket Mode: use a 15s Slack SDK pong timeout by default and add `channels.slack.socketMode.clientPingTimeout`, `serverPingTimeout`, and `pingPongLoggingEnabled` overrides so stale-websocket handling no longer depends on app-event health heuristics. Fixes #14248; refs #58519, #64009, and #63488. Thanks @shivasymbl and @freerk.
+- Slack/media: bound private file and forwarded attachment downloads with idle and total timeouts while preserving placeholder fallback, so stalled Slack `file_share` media no longer wedges inbound message handling. Fixes #61850. Thanks @bassboy2k.
+- Plugins/inspector: keep bundled plugin runtime capture quiet and config-tolerant for Codex, memory-lancedb, Feishu, Mattermost, QQBot, and Tlon so plugin-inspector JSON checks can validate the full bundled set. Thanks @vincentkoc.
+- Slack/auto-reply: keep fully consumed text reset triggers such as `new session` out of `BodyForAgent` after directive cleanup, so configured Slack reset phrases do not leak into the fresh model turn. Fixes #73137. Thanks @neeravmakwana.
+- Plugins/runtime deps: prune stale retained bundled runtime deps and keep doctor/secret channel contract scans on lightweight artifacts, so disabled bundled channels stop preserving old dependency trees or importing heavy plugin surfaces. Thanks @SymbolStar and @vincentkoc.
+- Auto-reply: bound the post-run pending tool-result delivery drain with a progress-aware idle timeout, so a never-settling tool-result task no longer leaves the session active forever while slow healthy deliveries can keep draining. Fixes #53889; supersedes #64733 and #73434. Thanks @zijunl and @wujiaming88.
+- Gateway/startup: start chat channels without waiting for primary model prewarm, keeping model warmup bounded in the background so Slack and other channels come online promptly when provider discovery is slow. Supersedes #73420. Thanks @dorukardahan.
+- Gateway/install: carry env-backed config SecretRefs such as `channels.discord.token` into generated service environments when they are present only in the installing shell, while keeping gateway auth SecretRefs non-persisted. Fixes #67817; supersedes #73426. Thanks @wdimaculangan and @ztexydt-cqh.
+- Auto-reply/commands: stop bare `/reset` and `/new` after reset hooks acknowledge the command, so non-ACP channels no longer fall through into empty provider calls while `/reset <message>` and `/new <message>` still seed the next model turn. Fixes #73367 and #73412. Thanks @hoyanhan, @wenxu007, and @amdhelper.
+- Providers/DeepSeek: backfill DeepSeek V4 `reasoning_content` on plain assistant replay messages as well as tool-call turns, so thinking sessions with prior tool use no longer fail follow-up requests with missing reasoning content. Fixes #73417; refs #71372. Thanks @34262315716 and @Bartok9.
+- Agents/gateway tool: strip full config payloads from `config.patch` and `config.apply` tool responses while preserving direct RPC responses, so config-heavy sessions no longer replay large redacted configs into transcript history. Fixes #47610; supersedes #73439. Thanks @HanenVit and @juan-flores077.
+- Auto-reply: preserve voice-note media from silent turns while continuing to suppress text and non-voice media, so `NO_REPLY` TTS replies still deliver the requested audio bubble. (#73406) Thanks @zqchris.
+- Channels/Mattermost: stop enqueueing regular inbound posts as system events, so Mattermost user messages reach the model only as user-role inbound-envelope content instead of also appearing as `System: Mattermost message...` directives. Fixes #71795. Thanks @juan-flores077.
+- Agents/media: qualify bare `agents.defaults.imageModel` and `pdfModel` refs from unique configured image-capable providers, so Ollama vision models such as `moondream` and `qwen2.5vl:7b` do not fall through to the default provider. Fixes #38816; supersedes #73396. Thanks @alainasclaw and @vincentkoc.
+- Agents/Anthropic: send implicit Anthropic beta headers only to direct public Anthropic endpoints, including OAuth, so custom Anthropic-compatible providers no longer mis-handle unsupported beta flags unless explicitly configured. Refs #73346. Thanks @byBrodowski.
+- Skills: require explicit `skills.entries.coding-agent.enabled` before exposing the bundled coding-agent skill, so installs with Codex on PATH but no OpenAI auth do not silently offer Codex delegation. Fixes #73358. Thanks @LaFleurAdvertising and @Sanjays2402.
+- Plugins/startup: treat manifestless Claude bundles as valid installed-plugin registry entries instead of stale missing manifests, so workspace bundles no longer force repeated derived registry rebuilds or noisy `plugins.entries.workspace` warnings during Gateway startup. Fixes #73433. Thanks @AnneVoss.
+- Agents/subagents: preserve `sessions_yield` as a paused subagent state and ignore its wait text while freezing completion output, so parent sessions wait for the final post-compaction answer instead of receiving intermediate progress or `(no output)`. Fixes #73413. Thanks @Ask-sola.
+- Plugins/startup: precompute bundled runtime mirror fingerprints before taking the mirror lock and keep Docker bundled plugin runtime deps/mirrors in a Docker-managed volume instead of the Windows/WSL config bind mount, so cold starts avoid slow host-volume mirror writes. Fixes #73339. Thanks @1yihui.
+- Plugins/runtime deps: refresh bundled runtime mirrors without deleting active import trees, so config-triggered restarts do not see transient missing plugin files during registration. Thanks @shakkernerd.
+- Channels/LINE: persist inbound image, video, audio, and file downloads in `~/.openclaw/media/inbound/` instead of temporary files so agents can still read LINE media after `/tmp` cleanup. Fixes #73370. Thanks @hijirii and @wenxu007.
+- CLI/plugins: keep bundled plugin installs out of `plugins.load.paths` while preserving install records, so install/inspect/doctor loops no longer warn about the current bundled plugin directory. Thanks @vincentkoc.
+- CLI/plugins: scope `plugins inspect <id>` runtime loading to the matched plugin so single-plugin inspection does not load every plugin before checking the target. Thanks @shakkernerd.
+- CLI/plugins: remove managed copied-path plugin directories during uninstall and plan uninstall from metadata instead of runtime-loading plugins, so plugin lifecycle commands avoid unnecessary bundled runtime-deps work. Thanks @shakkernerd.
+- Cron tool: infer the creating session's agentId for `cron.add` jobs when `agentId` is omitted or passed as undefined, keeping scheduled agentTurn jobs routed to the session agent; #40571 identified the guard bug and supplied the focused regression coverage. Thanks @ChanningYul.
+- Cron/Telegram: add `--thread-id` to `openclaw cron add` and `openclaw cron edit`, preserving Telegram forum topic delivery targets across scheduled announcements. Carries forward #51581, #60373, and #60890. Thanks @ChunHao-dev.
+- Cron/Telegram: preserve session-derived Telegram topic thread IDs when isolated cron delivery explicitly targets the parent chat, keeping bare chat targets in the active forum topic without leaking stale topics to other chats. Carries forward #64708. Thanks @addelh.
+- Memory/compaction: keep pre-compaction memory-flush prompts runtime-only so session transcripts and `chat.history` no longer expose them as normal user turns. Fixes #54408 and #58956; refs #43567. Thanks @markgong and @guoyuhang9.
+- Control UI/WebChat: keep large attachment payloads out of Lit state and optimistic chat messages, using object URL previews plus send-time payload serialization so PDF/image uploads no longer trigger `RangeError: Maximum call stack size exceeded`. Fixes #73360; refs #54378 and #63432. Thanks @hejunhui-73, @Ansub, and @christianhernandez3-afk.
+- Agents/Anthropic: cancel stalled Anthropic Messages SSE body reads when abort signals fire, so active-memory timeouts release transport resources instead of leaving hidden recall runs parked on `reader.read()`. Refs #72965 and #73120. Thanks @wdeveloper16.
+- Control UI/WebChat: keep pending run and typing state attached to the active client run, so unowned inject/announce/side-result finals no longer unlock unrelated active runs while completed owned runs still clear promptly. Fixes #57795; carries forward the narrow diagnosis from #57887. Thanks @haoyu-haoyu.
+- Sandbox/Docker: stop satisfying a missing default sandbox image by tagging plain Debian as `openclaw-sandbox:bookworm-slim`, preserving the Python tooling required by sandbox write/edit helpers and directing users to build the default image. Fixes #51185; refs #45108, #51099, #51609, and #57713. Thanks @dpalis, @Tin55FoilDev, @jbcohen2-coder, @macminihal-cyber, and @PraxoOnline.
+- Control UI/WebChat: confirm toolbar New Session button resets before dispatching `/new` while leaving typed `/new` and `/reset` commands immediate. Fixes #45800; refs #27065, #56611, #54499, and #27110. Thanks @aethnova, @kosta228-huli, @adambezemek, and @xss925175263 (xianshishan).
+- Agents/models: keep per-agent primary models strict when `fallbacks` is omitted, so probe-only custom providers are not tried as hidden fallback candidates unless the agent explicitly opts in. Fixes #73332. Thanks @haumanto.
+- Gateway/models: add `models.pricing.enabled` so offline or restricted-network installs can skip startup OpenRouter and LiteLLM pricing-catalog fetches while keeping explicit model costs working. Fixes #53639. Thanks @callebtc, @palewire, and @rjdjohnston.
+- Gateway/startup: warn when legacy `CLAWDBOT_*` or `MOLTBOT_*` environment variables are still present, pointing users to `OPENCLAW_*` names instead of failing silently. Fixes #53482; carries forward #53667. Thanks @lndyzwdxhs.
+- Onboarding: pin interactive and non-interactive health checks to the just-configured setup token/password so stale `OPENCLAW_GATEWAY_TOKEN` or `OPENCLAW_GATEWAY_PASSWORD` values do not produce false gateway-token-mismatch failures after setup. Fixes #72203. Thanks @galiniliev.
+- Doctor/state: require an interactive confirmation before archiving orphan transcript files, so `openclaw doctor --fix` no longer silently renames recoverable session history after upgrades regenerate `sessions.json`. Fixes #73106. Thanks @scottgl9.
+- Cron/Telegram: preserve explicit `:topic:` delivery targets over stale session-derived thread IDs when isolated cron announces to Telegram forum topics. Carries forward #59069; refs #49704 and #43808. Thanks @roytong9.
+- Build/runtime: write the runtime-postbuild stamp after `pnpm build` writes the build stamp, so the next CLI invocation does not re-sync runtime artifacts after a successful build. Fixes #73151. Thanks @bittoby.
+- Build/runtime: preserve staged bundled-plugin runtime dependency caches across source-checkout tsdown rebuilds, so local CLI and gateway-watch rebuilds no longer recreate large plugin dependency trees before starting. Refs #73205. Thanks @SymbolStar.
+- CLI/channels: list configured chat channel accounts from read-only setup metadata even when the standalone CLI has not loaded the runtime channel registry, so `openclaw channels list` shows Telegram accounts before auth providers. Fixes #73319 and #73322. Thanks @mlaihk.
+- CLI/model probes: keep `infer model run --gateway` raw by skipping prior session transcript, bootstrap context, context-engine assembly, tools, and bundled MCP servers, so local backends can be tested without full agent-context overhead. Fixes #73308. Thanks @ScientificProgrammer.
+- CLI/image describe: pass `--prompt` and `--timeout-ms` through `infer image describe` and `describe-many`, so custom vision instructions and slow local model budgets reach media-understanding providers such as Ollama, OpenAI, Google, and OpenRouter. Addresses #63700. Thanks @cedricjanssens.
+- Providers/Ollama: reject long non-linguistic Kimi/GLM symbol runs as provider failures instead of storing them as successful visible assistant replies, so fallback or error handling can recover from garbled cloud output. Fixes #64262; refs #67019. Thanks @Kloz813 and @xiaomenger123.
+- CLI/model probes: reject empty or whitespace-only `infer model run --prompt` values before calling local providers or the Gateway, so smoke checks do not spend provider calls on invalid turns. Fixes #73185. Thanks @iot2edge.
+- Gateway/media: route text-only `chat.send` image offloads through media-understanding fields so `agents.defaults.imageModel` can describe WebChat attachments instead of leaving only an opaque `media://inbound` marker. Fixes #72968. Thanks @vorajeeah.
+- Gateway/Windows: route no-listener restart handoffs through the Windows supervisor without leaving restart tokens in flight, so failed task scheduling can be retried and successful handoffs do not coalesce later restart requests. (#69056) Thanks @Thatgfsj.
+- Gateway/model pricing: skip plugin manifest discovery during background pricing refreshes when `plugins.enabled: false`, so disabled-plugin setups do not keep rebuilding plugin metadata from the Gateway hot path. Fixes #73291. Thanks @slideshow-dingo and @fishgills.
+- Ollama/thinking: validate `/think` commands against live Ollama catalog reasoning metadata and preserve explicit native `params.think`/`params.thinking`, so models whose `/api/show` capabilities include `thinking` expose `low`, `medium`, `high`, and `max` instead of being stuck on `off`. Fixes #73366. Thanks @cymise.
+- Gateway/sessions: remove automatic oversized `sessions.json` rotation backups, deprecate `session.maintenance.rotateBytes`, and teach `openclaw doctor --fix` to remove the ignored key so hot session writes no longer copy multi-MB stores. Refs #72338. Thanks @midhunmonachan and @DougButdorf.
+- Channels/Telegram: fail fast when Telegram rejects the startup `getMe` token probe with 401, so invalid or stale BotFather tokens are reported as token auth failures instead of misleading `deleteWebhook` cleanup failures. Fixes #47674. Thanks @samaedan-arch.
+- ACPX: keep generated Codex and Claude ACP wrapper startup paths working when remote or special state filesystems reject chmod, since OpenClaw invokes the wrappers through Node instead of executing them directly. Fixes #73333. Thanks @david-garcia-garcia.
+- CLI/onboarding: infer image input for common custom-provider vision model IDs, ask only for unknown models, and keep `--custom-image-input`/`--custom-text-input` overrides so vision-capable proxies do not get saved as text-only configs. Fixes #51869. Thanks @Antsoldier1974.
+- Models/OpenAI Codex: stop listing or resolving unsupported `openai-codex/gpt-5.4-mini` rows through Codex OAuth, keep stale discovery rows suppressed with a clear API-key-route hint, and leave direct `openai/gpt-5.4-mini` available. Fixes #73242. Thanks @0xCyda.
+- Plugin SDK: restore the root `stringEnum` and `optionalStringEnum` exports on both the published SDK entry and runtime root-alias bridge, so older external plugins can keep building and loading while migrating to focused SDK subpaths. Fixes #68279. Thanks @marzliak.
+- Plugin SDK: restore the root-alias bridge for `registerContextEngine` and expose missing legacy compat helpers `normalizeAccountId` and `resolvePreferredOpenClawTmpDir` so older external plugins such as `openclaw-weixin` can keep loading while migrating to focused SDK subpaths. Fixes #53497. Thanks @alanxchen85.
+- Auth profiles: make `openclaw doctor --fix` migrate legacy flat `auth-profiles.json` files such as `{ "ollama-windows": { "apiKey": "ollama-local" } }` to canonical provider default API-key profiles with a backup, so custom Ollama/OpenAI-compatible providers recover cleanly after upgrading. Fixes #59629; supersedes #59642. Thanks @Xsanders555 and @Linux2010.
+- Memory/Dreaming: retry Dream Diary once with the session default when a configured dreaming model is unavailable, while leaving subagent trust and allowlist errors visible instead of silently masking configuration problems. Refs #67409 and #69209. Thanks @Ghiggins18 and @everySympathy.
+- Feishu/inbound files: recover CJK filenames from plain `Content-Disposition: filename=` download headers when Feishu exposes UTF-8 bytes through Latin-1 header decoding, while leaving valid Latin-1 and JSON-derived names unchanged. (#48578, #50435, #59431) Thanks @alex-xuweilong, @lishuaigit, and @DoChaoing.
+- Channels/Telegram: normalize accidental full `/bot<TOKEN>` Telegram `apiRoot` values at runtime and teach `openclaw doctor --fix` to remove the suffix, so startup control calls no longer 404 when direct Bot API curl commands work. Fixes #55387. Thanks @brendanmatthewjones-cmyk, @techfindubai-ux, and @Sivlerback-Chris.
+- Zalo Personal: persist refreshed `zca-js` session cookies after QR login, session restore, and successful API calls so gateway restarts restore the freshest local session. (#73277) Thanks @darkamenosa.
+- Logging/security: redact sensitive tokens (sk-\* keys, Bearer/Authorization values, etc.) at the subsystem console sink so `createSubsystemLogger().info/warn/error` output that bypasses the patched console-capture handler still applies the same redaction the file transport already does. Fixes #73284; refs #67953 and #64046. Thanks @edwin-rivera-dev.
+- Plugins/runtime deps: reuse enclosing versioned cache roots when bundled plugins resolve from nested staged paths, so plugin-runtime-deps no longer mints `openclaw-unknown-*` directories or loops on `ENOTEMPTY`. Fixes #72956. (#73205) Thanks @SymbolStar.
+- Agents/failover: classify CJK provider transport, quota, billing, auth, and overload error text so Chinese-language provider failures trigger fallback and user-facing transport copy instead of surfacing as unclassified raw errors. (#56242) Thanks @tomcatzh.
+- Agents/failover: seed non-claude-cli fallback prompts with Claude Code session context when a claude-cli attempt fails, so fallback models do not restart cold after billing or quota failover. (#72069) Thanks @stainlu.
+- Agents/CLI runner: transfer bundle-MCP tempDir cleanup from the per-turn runner finally to the Claude live-session lifecycle, so persistent Claude CLI sessions keep their `--mcp-config` directory until the live subprocess closes. Fixes #73244. Thanks @edwin-rivera-dev.
+- Gateway/nodes: allow Windows companion nodes to use safe declared commands such as canvas, camera list, location, device info, and screen snapshot by default while keeping dangerous media commands opt-in. (#71884) Thanks @shanselman.
+- Agents/cron: clarify agent-tool and CLI cron timezone guidance so supplied `tz` values use local wall-clock cron fields and omitted cron `tz` falls back to the Gateway host local timezone. Fixes #53669; carries forward #46177. (#73372) Thanks @chen-zhang-cs-code and @maranello-o.
+- Providers/Qwen: allow explicitly configured `qwen/qwen3.6-plus` to resolve on Qwen Coding Plan endpoints while keeping the built-in catalog from advertising it there. Fixes #63654; carries forward #63987. Thanks @jepson-liu.
+- Channels/Telegram: keep Bot API network fallbacks sticky after failed attempts and retry timed-out startup control calls once on the fallback route, so `deleteWebhook` IPv6 stalls no longer trigger slow multi-account retry storms. Fixes #73255. Thanks @ttomiczek and @sktbrd.
+- Gateway/agents: accept heartbeat, cron, and webhook as internal channel hints for agent runs so `sessions_spawn` works from non-delivery parent sessions while unknown channel hints still fail closed. Fixes #73237. Thanks @KeWang0622.
+- Gateway/models: merge explicit `models.providers.*.models` rows into the Gateway model catalog with normalized provider/model dedupe, and use normalized image-capability lookup so custom vision models keep native image attachments even when Pi discovery omits them or model ID casing differs. Fixes #64213 and #65165. Thanks @billonese and @202233a.
+- Gateway/reload: publish canonical post-write source config to in-process reloaders so simple config saves no longer create phantom plugin diffs or trigger unnecessary Gateway restarts. (#73267) Thanks @szsip239.
+- Gateway/Docker: keep config-triggered restarts in-process inside containers instead of spawning a detached child and exiting PID 1 cleanly, so Docker Swarm and other on-failure supervisors do not leave the service stuck at 0/1 replicas. Fixes #73178. Thanks @du-nguyen-IT007.
+- CLI/tasks: ship the task-registry control runtime in npm packages so `openclaw tasks cancel` can load ACP/subagent cancellation helpers from published builds. Fixes #68997. Thanks @1OAKDesign.
+- Channels/Telegram: preserve unsent generated media after partial reply streaming has already delivered the text, so `image_generate` outputs still reach Telegram as photos instead of being dropped from the final payload. Fixes #73253. Thanks @mlaihk.
+- Memory-core/dreaming: cap detached Dream Diary narrative subagents across cron sweeps so multi-workspace dreaming no longer fans out unbounded subagent sessions, lock contention, and cascading narrative timeouts. Fixes #73198. (#73287) Thanks @KeWang0622.
+- CLI/agents: close local one-shot Claude live stdio sessions and bundled MCP loopback resources after embedded `openclaw agent --local` runs, while keeping gateway-owned MCP loopback cleanup internal to the Gateway. Thanks @frankekn.
+- Export/session: keep inline export HTML scripts and vendor libraries injected after template formatting so generated session exports open with the app code, markdown renderer, and syntax highlighter present. Fixes #41862 and #49957; carries forward #41861 and #68947. Thanks @briannewman, @martenzi, and @armanddp.
+- Agents/ACPX: stage the patched Claude ACP adapter as an ACPX runtime dependency and route known Codex/Claude ACP commands through local wrappers, so Gateway runtime no longer depends on live `npx` adapter resolution. Fixes #73202. Thanks @joerod26.
+- Memory/compaction: let pre-compaction memory flush use an exact `agents.defaults.compaction.memoryFlush.model` override such as `ollama/qwen3:8b` without inheriting the active session fallback chain, so local housekeeping can avoid paid conversation models. Fixes #53772. Thanks @limen96.
+- macOS/update: stop managed Gateway services before package replacement and keep LaunchAgent service secrets out of world-readable plist metadata by loading them from owner-only env files. Fixes #72996. Thanks @Mathewb7.
+- Google Meet: keep observe-only Chrome joins and setup checks from requiring BlackHole or audio bridge commands, avoid granting or selecting the microphone in observe-only mode, and make `test_speech` report fresh realtime output-byte verification instead of only confirming a queued utterance. Refs #72478. Thanks @DougButdorf.
+- Gateway/hooks: route non-delivered hook completion and error summaries to the target agent's main session instead of the default agent session, preserving multi-agent hook isolation. Fixes #24693; carries forward #68667. Thanks @abersonFAC and @bluesky6868.
+- Control UI/models: request the configured Gateway model-list view so dashboards with only `models.providers.*.models` show those configured models first instead of flooding the picker with the full built-in catalog. Fixes #65405. Thanks @wbyanclaw.
+- CLI/models: keep default-model and allowlist pickers on explicit `models.providers.*.models` entries when `models.mode` is `replace` instead of loading the full built-in catalog. Fixes #64950. Thanks @mrozentsvayg.
+- Media/security: tighten media-understanding MIME sanitization so parameterized MIME values stay end-anchored and malformed whitespace or suffix payloads are rejected before file-context handling. Fixes #9795; carries forward #68225 with related review/test context from #61016/#68456. Thanks @ymaxgit, @bluesky6868, and @shamsulalam1114.
+- Discord: own the Carbon interaction listener and hand off Discord slash/component handling asynchronously, so compaction or long session locks no longer trip `InteractionEventListener` listener timeouts. Fixes #73204. Thanks @slideshow-dingo.
+- Compaction/diagnostics: keep unknown compaction failure classifications stable while logging sanitized detail for unclassified provider errors such as missing Ollama provider adapters. Thanks @gzsiang.
+- Models/fallbacks: record first-class `model.fallback_step` trajectory events with from/to models, failure detail, chain position, and final outcome so support exports preserve the primary model failure even when a later fallback also fails. Fixes #71744. Thanks @nikolaykazakovvs-ux.
+- Gateway/agents: block agent `exec` from launching interactive `openclaw channels login` flows and abort active agent runs after invalid-config recovery restores last-known-good config, preventing known channel-login and reload paths from wedging replies. Refs #72338. Thanks @midhunmonachan.
+- Gateway/diagnostics: emit payload-free liveness warnings with event-loop delay, event-loop utilization, CPU-core ratio, active-session counts, and OTEL warning metrics/spans so live-but-stalled Gateways capture CPU-spin context in stability bundles and telemetry. Refs #72338. Thanks @midhunmonachan and @DougButdorf.
+- Gateway/startup: keep value-option foreground starts on the gateway fast path and skip proxy bootstrap unless proxy env is configured, reducing normal gateway startup RSS and avoiding full CLI graph loading. Thanks @vincentkoc.
+- Heartbeat/models: show heartbeat model bleed guidance on context-overflow resets when the last runtime model matches configured `heartbeat.model`, so smaller local heartbeat models point users to `isolatedSession` or `lightContext` instead of only compaction-buffer tuning. Fixes #67314. Thanks @Knightmare6890.
+- Subagents/models: persist `sessions_spawn.model` and configured subagent models as child-session model overrides before the first turn, so spawned subagents actually run on the requested provider/model instead of reverting to the target agent default. Fixes #73180. Thanks @danielzinhu99.
+- Channels/Telegram: keep webhook-mode local listeners alive and retry Telegram `setWebhook` registration after recoverable startup network failures, so transient Bot API timeouts no longer leave reverse proxies pointing at a closed listener. Fixes #71834. Thanks @jinon86.
+- Agents/ACPX: bundle the Codex ACP adapter and launch it from the isolated `CODEX_HOME` wrapper before falling back to npm, so Codex ACP startup no longer depends on live `npx` resolution or the stale `@zed-industries/codex-acp@^0.11.1` range. Fixes #72037; refs #73202. Thanks @jasonftl, @sazora, and @joerod26.
+- Agents/ACPX: register the embedded ACP backend at Gateway startup through a lightweight ACP backend SDK path and without importing the heavy ACPX runtime until an ACP session or explicit startup probe needs it, reducing baseline Gateway RSS. Thanks @vincentkoc.
+- CLI/update: keep restart health polling when the restarted Gateway is reachable but has not reported its version yet, so macOS service restarts do not fail early with `actual unavailable`. Thanks @ProspectOre.
+- Backup: skip installed plugin `extensions/*/node_modules` dependency trees while keeping plugin manifests and source files in archives, so local backups avoid rebuildable npm payload bloat. Fixes #64144. Thanks @BrilliantWang.
+- Cron/models: fail isolated cron runs closed when an explicit `payload.model` is not allowed or cannot be resolved, so scheduled jobs do not silently fall back to an unrelated agent default or paid route before configured provider proxies such as LiteLLM can run. Fixes #73146. Thanks @oneandrewwang.
+- Memory/QMD: back off repeated chat-turn QMD open failures while still letting memory status and CLI probes recheck immediately, so a broken sidecar dependency cannot trigger active-memory or cron retry storms. Fixes #73188 and #73176. Thanks @leonlushgit and @w3i-William.
+- Talk Mode: resolve `messages.tts.providers.<id>.apiKey` through the active runtime snapshot for `talk.config`, so Talk overlays can discover SecretRef-backed speech providers without falling back to local speech. Fixes #73109. (#73111) Thanks @omarshahine.
+- Memory/Ollama: resolve `memorySearch.provider` custom provider ids through their configured `models.providers.<id>.api` owner, so multi-GPU Ollama setups can dedicate embeddings to providers such as `ollama-5080` without losing the Ollama adapter or local auth semantics. Fixes #73150. Thanks @oneandrewwang.
+- CLI/memory: skip eager context-window warmup for `openclaw memory` commands so memory search does not race unrelated model metadata discovery. Fixes #73123. Thanks @oalansilva and @neeravmakwana.
+- CLI/Telegram: route Telegram `message send` and poll actions through the running Gateway when available, so packaged installs use the staged `grammy` runtime deps and CLI sends return instead of hanging after the Telegram channel is active. Fixes #73140. Thanks @oalansilva.
+- Plugins/runtime deps: prepare staged bundled plugin dependencies before loading packaged public surfaces, so OpenClaw's Telegram runtime/test facade loads resolve `grammy` from the managed runtime-deps stage without copying dependencies into the global package root. Refs #73140. Thanks @oalansilva.
+- Agents/exec: emit `(no output)` for silent exec update and node-host result blocks so Anthropic-compatible providers no longer reject empty tool-result text after quiet commands. Fixes #73117. Thanks @pfrederiksen and @Sanjays2402.
+- Cron/providers: preflight local Ollama and OpenAI-compatible provider endpoints before isolated cron agent turns, record unreachable local providers as skipped runs, and cache dead-endpoint probes so many jobs do not hammer the same stopped local server. Fixes #58584. Thanks @jpeghead.
+- Gateway/config: let config reload continue in degraded mode when invalidity is scoped to plugin entries, so incompatible plugin configs can be skipped and the Gateway restart can still pick up the rest of the config after rollbacks. Fixes #73131. Thanks @Adam-Researchh.
+- Doctor/channels: suppress disabled bundled-plugin blocker warnings when a trusted external plugin owns the configured channel, so Lark/Feishu installs no longer get Feishu repair noise after switching to `openclaw-lark`. Fixes #56794. Thanks @wuji-tech-dev.
+- CLI/status: show skipped fast-path memory checks as `not checked` and report active custom memory plugin runtime status from `status --json --all` without requiring built-in `agents.defaults.memorySearch`, so plugins such as memory-lancedb-pro and memory-cms no longer look unavailable when their own runtime is healthy. Fixes #56968. Thanks @Tony-ooo and @aderius.
+- Gateway/channels: record and log unexpected clean channel monitor exits so channels that return without throwing no longer appear stopped with no error. Fixes #73099. Thanks @balaji1968-kingler.
+- Discord/group chats: keep group/channel replies private by default unless the agent explicitly uses the message tool, so always-on rooms can lurk without leaking automatic final, block, preview, or status-reaction output; `messages.groupChat.visibleReplies: "automatic"` restores legacy auto-posting. (#73046) Thanks @scoootscooob.
+- Plugins/package: force nested bundled-plugin runtime dependency installs out of inherited npm dry-run mode during prepack and package smoke checks, so packed installs materialize required plugin modules instead of reporting missing bundled files. Refs #73128. Thanks @Adam-Researchh.
+- Discord: skip reaction events before REST channel fetch when notifications are off, guild reactions are disabled, or allowlist mode cannot match without channel overrides, reducing reconnect bursts that caused slow listener warnings. Fixes #73133. Thanks @isaacsummers.
+- Channels/Telegram: centralize polling update tracking so accepted offsets remain durable across restarts, same-process handler failures can still retry, and slow offset writes cannot overwrite newer accepted watermarks. Refs #73115. Thanks @vdruts.
+- Agents/models: classify empty, reasoning-only, and planning-only terminal agent runs before accepting a model fallback candidate, so invalid or incompatible models can advance to the next configured fallback instead of returning a 30-second terminal failure. Fixes #73115. Thanks @vdruts.
+- Memory/LanceDB: let embedding config use provider-backed auth profiles, environment credentials, or provider config without a separate plugin `embedding.apiKey`, so OAuth-capable embedding providers can power auto-recall/capture. Fixes #68950. Thanks @malshaalan-ai.
+- CLI/parents: invoking `openclaw <parent>` (memory, channels, plugins, approvals, devices, cron, mcp) without a subcommand now prints the parent's help and exits `0`, matching `<parent> --help` and the existing `agents` / `sessions` defaults so shell `&&` chains and pnpm wrappers no longer surface a misleading `ELIFECYCLE Command failed with exit code 1.` line. Fixes #73077. Thanks @hclsys.
+- Plugins/hooks: time out never-settling `agent_end` observation hooks after 30 seconds and log the plugin failure, so hung embedding endpoints no longer leave memory capture silently pending forever. Fixes #65544. Thanks @ghoc0099.
+- Gateway/config: serve runtime config schemas from the current plugin metadata snapshot and generated bundled channel schema metadata instead of rebuilding plugin channel config modules on every `config.get`/`config.schema`, preventing idle plugin-discovery CPU churn after upgrades. Fixes #73088. Thanks @sleitor and @geovansb.
+- Memory/LanceDB: call OpenAI-compatible embedding endpoints through the raw SDK transport without sending `encoding_format`, then normalize float-array or base64 responses so providers such as ZhiPu and DashScope no longer fail recall with wrong vector dimensions or rejected parameters. Fixes #63655. Thanks @kinthaiofficial.
+- Plugins/install: run dependency installs with npm error-level logging instead of silent mode so failed plugin or hook installs surface actionable npm errors such as EUNSUPPORTEDPROTOCOL instead of `npm install failed:` with no detail. (#73093) Thanks @sanctrl.
+- Memory/LanceDB: bound memory recall embedding queries with a new `recallMaxChars` setting, prefer the latest user message over channel prompt metadata during auto-recall, and document the knob so small Ollama embedding models avoid context-length failures. Fixes #56780. Thanks @rungmc357 and @zak-collaborator.
+- CLI/skills: resolve workspace-backed skills commands from `--agent`, then the current agent workspace, before falling back to the default agent, so multi-agent ClawHub installs, updates, and status checks stay scoped to the active workspace. Fixes #56161; carries forward #72726. Thanks @langbowang and @luyao618.
+- Plugin SDK: fall back from partial bundled plugin directory overrides to package source public surfaces while preserving `OPENCLAW_DISABLE_BUNDLED_PLUGINS` as a hard disable. (#72817) Thanks @serkonyc.
+- Agents/ACPX: stop forwarding Codex ACP timeout config controls that Codex rejects while preserving OpenClaw's run-timeout watchdog for ACP subagents. Fixes #73052. Thanks @pfrederiksen and @richa65.
+- Memory Core: stream fallback vector search scoring with a bounded top-K result set so large indexes do not materialize every chunk embedding when sqlite-vec is unavailable. (#73069) Thanks @parkertoddbrooks.
+- Memory Core: stream embedding-cache seeding during safe reindex so large local caches do not materialize every row into the V8 heap before the atomic rebuild. (#73067) Thanks @parkertoddbrooks.
+- Memory/Ollama: add `memorySearch.remote.nonBatchConcurrency` for inline embedding indexing, default Ollama non-batch indexing to one request at a time, and keep batch concurrency separate from non-batch concurrency so local embedding backfills avoid timeout storms on smaller hosts. Carries forward #57733. Thanks @itilys.
+- macOS app: update Peekaboo, ElevenLabsKit, and MLX TTS helper dependencies, make canvas file watching and config/exec-approval state writes reliable under concurrent app/test activity, and keep the app plus helper builds warning-free. Thanks @Blaizzy.
+- iOS app: refresh SwiftPM/XcodeGen source hygiene, make app, extension, watch, and curated shared Swift files pass the prebuild SwiftFormat and SwiftLint checks, move relay registration off deprecated StoreKit receipt APIs, and keep simulator builds and logic tests warning-free. Thanks @ngutman.
+- Agents/models: keep `models.json` readiness and provider-hook caches warm across repeated agent and subagent model resolution while preserving external `models.json` invalidation, reducing repeated provider-plugin loads on slower ARM64 hosts. Fixes #73075. Thanks @jochen.
+- Docs/tools: clarify that `tools.profile: "messaging"` is intentionally narrow and that `tools.profile: "full"` is the unrestricted baseline for broader command/control access. Carries forward #39954. Thanks @posigit.
+- Control UI/Agents: redact tool-call args, partial/final results, derived exec output, and configured custom secret patterns before streaming tool events to the Control UI, so tool output cannot expose provider or channel credentials. Fixes #72283. (#72319) Thanks @volcano303 and @BunsDev.
+- Agents/sessions: keep `sessions_history` recall redaction enabled even when general log redaction is disabled, and clarify that safety-boundary UI/tool/diagnostic payloads still redact independently of `logging.redactSensitive`. Carries forward #72319. Thanks @volcano303 and @BunsDev.
+- Providers/Codex: pass agent and workspace directories into provider stream wrappers so Codex native `web_search` activation can evaluate the correct auth context, and smoke-test the built status-message runtime by resolving the emitted bundle name. Carries forward #67843; refs #65909. Thanks @neilofneils404.
+- Cron/models: keep `payload.model` as a per-job primary that can use configured fallbacks, while still letting `payload.fallbacks: []` make cron runs strict and avoid hidden agent-primary retries. Refs #73023. Thanks @pavelyortho-cyber.
+- Models/fallbacks: treat user-selected session models as exact choices, so `/model ollama/...` and model-picker switches fail visibly when the selected provider is unreachable instead of answering from an unrelated configured fallback. Fixes #73023. Thanks @pavelyortho-cyber.
+- Codex harness: keep ChatGPT subscription app-server runs from inheriting `CODEX_API_KEY` or `OPENAI_API_KEY`, and fall back to `CODEX_API_KEY` / `OPENAI_API_KEY` app-server login only when no Codex account is available. Fixes #73057. Thanks @holgergruenhagen and @pashpashpash.
+- CLI/model probes: fail local `infer model run` probes when the provider returns no text output, so unreachable local providers and empty completions no longer look like successful smoke tests. Refs #73023. Thanks @pavelyortho-cyber.
+- CLI/Ollama: run local `infer model run` through the lean provider completion path and skip global model discovery for one-shot local probes, so Ollama smoke tests no longer pay full chat-agent/tool startup cost or hang before the native `/api/chat` request. Fixes #72851. Thanks @TotalRes2020.
+- Doctor/gateway services: ignore launchd/systemd companion services that only reference the gateway as a dependency, suppress inactive Linux extra-service warnings, and avoid rewriting a running systemd gateway command/entrypoint during doctor repair. Carries forward #39118. Thanks @therk.
+- Daemon/service: only emit hard-coded version-manager paths such as `~/.volta/bin`, `~/.asdf/shims`, `~/.bun/bin`, and fnm/pnpm fallbacks into gateway and node service PATHs when the directories exist, so `openclaw doctor` no longer flags `gateway.path.non-minimal` against a PATH the daemon just wrote. Env-driven roots and stable user-bin dirs remain unconditional. Fixes #71944; carries forward #71964. Thanks @Sanjays2402.
+- CLI/startup: disable Node's module compile cache automatically for live source-checkout launchers so in-place `pnpm build` updates are visible to the next `openclaw` CLI invocation. Fixes #73037. Thanks @LouisGameDev.
+- Agents/group chat: keep silent-allowed empty and reasoning-only turns on the `NO_REPLY` path without injecting visible-answer retry prompts, and clarify the group prompt so agents use the exact silent token instead of prose. Thanks @vincentkoc.
+- Agents/group chat: move `NO_REPLY` mechanics into channel-aware direct/group prompts and suppress the duplicate generic silent-reply section for auto-reply runs, so always-on group agents get one consistent stay-silent instruction. Thanks @vincentkoc.
+- Providers/OpenAI: preserve encrypted empty-summary Responses reasoning items in WebSocket replay and request `reasoning.encrypted_content` on reasoning turns so GPT-5.4/GPT-5.5 sessions do not lose required `rs_*` state beside `msg_*` items. Fixes #73053. Thanks @odb36777.
+- Gateway/startup: treat `plugins.enabled=false` as an early plugin fast path, skipping plugin auto-enable discovery, gateway plugin lookup/runtime-dependency staging, and stale-plugin cleanup warnings while preserving channel blocker warnings. (#73041) Thanks @WuKongAI-CMU.
+- Channels/commands: make generated `/dock-*` commands switch the active session reply route through `session.identityLinks` instead of falling through to normal chat. Fixes #69206; carries forward #73033. Thanks @clawbones and @michaelatamuk.
+- Providers/Cloudflare AI Gateway: strip assistant prefill turns from Anthropic Messages payloads when thinking is enabled, so Claude requests through Cloudflare AI Gateway no longer fail Anthropic conversation-ending validation. Fixes #72905; carries forward #73005. Thanks @AaronFaby and @sahilsatralkar.
+- Gateway/startup: keep primary-model startup prewarm on scoped metadata preparation, let native approval bootstraps retry outside channel startup, and skip the global hook runner when no `gateway_start` hook is registered, so clean post-ready sidecar work stays off the critical path. Refs #72846. Thanks @RayWoo, @livekm0309, and @mrz1836.
+- Gateway/channels: start bundled channel accounts with a lightweight `runtimeContexts` surface instead of importing the full reply/routing/session channel runtime before `startAccount`, so Discord, Telegram, Slack, Matrix, and QQBot startup no longer block on unrelated channel helper graphs. Refs #72846 and #72960. Thanks @mrz1836, @RayWoo, and @rollingshmily.
+- Gateway/supervisor: exit cleanly when a supervised restart finds an existing healthy gateway and bound retries when the existing gateway stays unhealthy, so stale lock contention cannot loop indefinitely. Refs #72846. Thanks @azgardtek.
+- Gateway/startup: scope primary-model provider discovery during channel prewarm to the configured provider owner and add split startup trace timings, so boot avoids staging unrelated bundled provider dependencies while setup discovery remains broad. Fixes #73002. Thanks @Schnup03.
+- Plugins/runtime deps: declare retained staged bundled plugin dependencies in the npm staging manifest while installing only newly missing packages, so Gateway restarts avoid reinstalling the full retained dependency set when one runtime dependency is absent. Fixes #73055. Thanks @GCorp2026.
+- CLI/status: keep default `openclaw status` off the heavyweight security audit, plugin compatibility, and memory-vector probes while still showing configured Telegram channels through setup metadata, so routine health checks stay fast and no longer render an empty Channels table. Fixes #72993. Thanks @comick1.
+- Channels/Telegram: send a best-effort native typing cue immediately after an inbound message is accepted, so slow pre-dispatch turns show Telegram liveness before queueing, compaction, model, or tool work starts. Fixes #63759. Thanks @alessandropcostabr.
+- Channels/Telegram: stop native approval startup auth failures from retrying every second, while still waiting through retryable Gateway auth handoffs, so Telegram approval setup problems no longer create a reconnect/log loop during channel startup. Refs #72846 and #72867. Thanks @kiranvk-2011 and @porly1985.
+- Channels/Microsoft Teams: unwrap staged CommonJS JWT runtime dependencies before Bot Connector token validation so inbound Teams messages no longer 401 after the bundled runtime-deps move. Fixes #73026. Thanks @kbrown10000.
+- Gateway/auth: allow local direct callers in trusted-proxy mode to use the configured gateway password as an internal fallback while keeping token fallback rejected. Fixes #17761. Thanks @dashed, @vincentkoc, and @jetd1.
+- Gateway/auth: add explicit `trustedProxy.allowLoopback` support for same-host loopback reverse proxies while keeping loopback trusted-proxy auth fail-closed by default and preserving required-header and allowlist checks. Fixes #59167; carries forward #63379. Thanks @Matir, @jeremyakers, and @mrosmarin.
+- Channels/sessions: prevent guarded inbound session recording from creating route-only phantom sessions while still allowing last-route updates for sessions that already exist. Carries forward #73009. Thanks @jzakirov.
+- Cron: accept `delivery.threadId` in Gateway cron add/update schemas so scheduled announce delivery can target Telegram forum topics and other threaded channel destinations through the documented delivery path. Fixes #73017. Thanks @coachsootz.
+- Plugins/runtime deps: stage bundled plugin dependencies imported by mirrored root dist chunks, so packaged memory and status commands do not miss `chokidar` or similar root-chunk dependencies after update. Fixes #72882 and #72970; carries forward #72992. Thanks @shrimpy8, @colin-chang, and @Schnup03.
+- Plugins/runtime deps: reuse unchanged bundled plugin runtime mirrors instead of rebuilding plugin trees on every load, cutting avoidable writes and restart/reconnect I/O on slow storage. Fixes #72933. Thanks @jasonftl.
+- Agents/runtime context: deliver hidden runtime context through prompt-local system context while keeping the transcript-only custom entry out of provider user turns, and strip stale copied runtime-context prefaces from user-facing replies. Fixes #72386; carries forward #72969. Thanks @jhsmith409.
+- Channels/Telegram: skip the optional webhook-info API call during polling-mode status checks and startup bot-label probes so long-polling setups avoid an unnecessary Telegram round trip. Carries forward #72990. Thanks @danielgruneberg.
+- CLI/message: resolve targeted `openclaw message` channels to their owning plugin before loading the registry, and fall back to configured channel plugins when the channel must be inferred, so scripted sends avoid full bundled plugin registry scans without assuming channel ids match plugin ids. Fixes #73006. Thanks @jasonftl.
+- Plugins/startup: parse strict JSON plugin manifests with native JSON first and keep JSON5 as the compatibility fallback, reducing manifest registry CPU during Gateway boot and CLI startup. Fixes #73011. Thanks @jasonftl.
+- CLI/models: keep route-first `models status --json` stdout reserved for the JSON payload by routing auth-profile and startup diagnostics to stderr. Fixes #72962. Thanks @vishutdhar.
+- Gateway/runtime: keep dirty-tree status calls from rebuilding live `dist`, clear stale task and restart state across in-process restarts, retry transient Discord lazy imports, and let channel startup continue after slow model warmup so browser, Discord, and voice-call sidecars come online. Thanks @vincentkoc.
+- Security/CodeQL: replace file SecretRef id gateway schema regex validation with segment-aligned predicates and set empty permissions on release summary/backfill jobs so the narrowed CodeQL profile stays clean. Thanks @vincentkoc.
+- Sessions: ignore future-dated session activity timestamps during reset freshness checks and cap future `updatedAt` values at the merge boundary so clock-skewed messages cannot keep stale sessions alive forever. Fixes #72989. Thanks @martingarramon.
+- Sessions: apply search, activity filters, and limits before gateway row enrichment so bounded session lists avoid scanning discarded transcripts. Carries forward #72978. Thanks @yeager.
+- Sessions: remove trajectory runtime and pointer sidecars when session maintenance prunes, caps, or disk-evicts their owning session, while preserving sidecars still referenced by live rows. Fixes #73000. Thanks @jared-rebel.
+- Plugins/CLI: allow managed plugin installs when the active extensions root is a symlink to a real state directory, while keeping nested target symlinks blocked and suppressing misleading hook-pack fallback errors for install-boundary failures. Fixes #72946. Thanks @mayank6136.
+- Providers/Ollama: mark discovered Ollama catalog models as supporting streaming usage metadata so token accounting stays enabled for local models. (#72976) Thanks @sdeyang.
+- Media understanding: reject malformed MIME values with trailing junk while preserving standard parameter tails before enrichment uses them. (#72914) Thanks @volcano303.
+- WebChat: keep bare `/new` and `/reset` prompts from producing empty transcript text by inserting the hidden session marker when the visible tail is blank. (#72863) Thanks @mahopan.
+- CLI/update: explain completion-cache refresh timeouts with manual refresh guidance instead of surfacing a raw low-level timeout. Fixes #72842. (#72850) Thanks @iot2edge.
+- Memory-core/dreaming: give narrative generation a 60-second timeout so slower local or remote models can finish instead of timing out at 15 seconds. Fixes #72837. (#72852) Thanks @RayWoo.
+- Plugins/hooks: inject each plugin's resolved config into internal hook event context without mutating the shared event object. (#72888) Thanks @jalapeno777.
+- Agents/ACP: pass the resolved ACP agent directory into media understanding so per-agent media caches and config are used for ACP-dispatched image turns. (#72832) Thanks @luyao618.
+- Gateway/Bonjour: truncate mDNS service names and host labels to the 63-byte DNS label limit at valid UTF-8 boundaries. (#72809) Thanks @luyao618.
+- Feishu: treat groups explicitly configured under channels.feishu.groups as admitted even when groupAllowFrom is empty, while preserving groupPolicy: "disabled" as a hard group block and keeping groups.\* wildcard defaults non-admitting. Fixes #67687. (#72789) Thanks @MoerAI.
+- Gateway/startup: keep hot Gateway boot paths on leaf config imports and add max-RSS reporting to the gateway startup bench so low-memory startup regressions are visible before release. Thanks @vincentkoc.
+- WebChat: read `chat.history` from active transcript branches, drop stale streamed assistant tails once final history catches up, and coalesce duplicate in-flight Control UI submits, so rewritten prompts, completed replies, and rapid send events no longer render or process twice. Fixes #72975, #72963, and #72974. Thanks @dmagdici, @lhtpluto, and @Benjamin5281999.
+- WebChat/TTS: persist automatic final-mode TTS audio as a supplemental audio-only transcript update instead of adding a second assistant message with the same visible text. Fixes #72830. Thanks @lhtpluto.
+- Agents/LSP: terminate bundled stdio LSP process trees during runtime disposal and Gateway shutdown, so nested children such as `tsserver` do not survive stop or restart. Fixes #72357. Thanks @ai-hpc and @bittoby.
+- Diagnostics/OTEL: capture privacy-safe model-call request payload bytes, streamed response bytes, first-response latency, and total duration in diagnostic events, plugin hooks, stability snapshots, and OTEL model-call spans/metrics without logging raw model content. Fixes #33832. Thanks @wwh830.
+- Logging: write validated diagnostic trace context as top-level `traceId`, `spanId`, `parentSpanId`, and `traceFlags` fields in file-log JSONL records so traced requests and model calls are easier to correlate in log processors. Refs #40353. Thanks @liangruochong44-ui.
+- Logging/sessions: apply configured redaction patterns to persisted session transcript text and accept escaped character classes in safe custom redaction regexes, so transcript JSONL no longer keeps matching sensitive text in the clear. Fixes #42982. Thanks @panpan0000.
+- Providers/Ollama: honor `/api/show` capabilities when registering local models so non-tool Ollama models no longer receive the agent tool surface, and keep native Ollama thinking opt-in instead of enabling it by default. Fixes #64710 and duplicate #65343. Thanks @yuan-b, @netherby, @xilopaint, and @Diyforfun2026.
+- Control UI/Agents: remount the Overview model controls when switching agents so the primary-model picker cannot retain stale per-agent selection. Fixes #39392; carries forward #39401, notes the duplicate #39495 approach, and keeps #46275/#54724 broader stabilization out of scope. Thanks @daijunyi002, @SergioChan, @aworki, and @wsyjh8.
+- Auto-reply: poison inbound message dedupe after replay-unsafe provider/runtime failures so retries stay safe before visible progress but cannot duplicate messages after block output, tool side effects, or session progress. Fixes #69303; keeps #58549 and #64606 as duplicate validation. Thanks @martingarramon, @NikolaFC, and @zeroth-blip.
+- Agents/model fallback: jump directly to a known later live-session model redirect instead of walking unrelated fallback candidates, while preserving the already-landed live-session/fallback loop guard. Fixes #57471; related loop family already closed via #58496. Thanks @yuxiaoyang2007-prog.
+- Gateway/Bonjour: keep @homebridge/ciao cancellation handlers registered across advertiser restarts so late probing cancellations cannot crash Linux and other mDNS-churned gateways. Thanks @vincentkoc.
+- Plugins/startup: load the default `memory-core` slot during Gateway startup when permitted so active-memory recall can call `memory_search` and `memory_get` without requiring an explicit `plugins.slots.memory` entry, while preserving `plugins.slots.memory: "none"`. Thanks @vincentkoc.
+- Gateway/plugins: resolve `gateway_start` cron hooks from live Gateway runtime state before the legacy deps fallback, so memory-core dreaming cron reconciliation keeps working on installs where `deps.cron` is not populated during service startup. Fixes #72835. Thanks @RayWoo.
 - Plugins/CLI: prefer native require for compiled bundled plugin JavaScript before jiti so read-only config, status, device, and node commands avoid unnecessary transform overhead on slow hosts. Fixes #62842. Thanks @Effet.
 - Plugins/compat: inventory doctor-side deprecation migrations separately from runtime plugin compatibility so release sweeps preserve needed repairs while enforcing dated removal windows. Thanks @vincentkoc.
 - Plugins/compat: add missing dated compatibility records for legacy extension-api, memory registration, provider hook/type aliases, runtime aliases, channel SDK helpers, and approval/test utility shims. Thanks @vincentkoc.
-- Plugins/CLI: refresh the persisted registry after managed plugin files are removed so ClawHub uninstall cannot leave stale `plugins list` entries. Thanks @codex.
-- Plugins/CLI: make plugin install and uninstall config writes conflict-aware, clear stale denylist entries on explicit reinstall/removal, and delete managed plugin files only after config/index commit succeeds. Thanks @codex.
-- Plugins: fail `plugins update` when tracked plugin or hook updates error, keep bundled runtime-dependency repair behind restrictive allowlists, and reject package installs with unloadable extension entries. Thanks @codex.

+- Plugins: fail `plugins update` when tracked plugin or hook updates error, keep bundled runtime-dependency repair behind restrictive allowlists, and reject package installs with unloadable extension entries. Thanks @vincentkoc.
+- WebChat/Control UI: support non-video file attachments in chat uploads while preserving the existing image attachment path and MIME-sniff fallback for generic image uploads. (#70947) Thanks @IAMSamuelRodda.
+- Skills/memory: restore Chokidar v5 hot reloads by watching concrete skill and memory roots with filters, including SKILL.md removals and deleted skill folders without broad workspace recursion. Fixes #27404, #33585, and #41606. Thanks @shelvenzhou, @08820048, and @rocke2020.
 - Gateway/chat: keep duplicate attachment-backed `chat.send` retries with the same idempotency key on the documented in-flight path so aborts still target the real active run. Fixes #70139. Thanks @Feelw00.
-- Plugins: share package entrypoint resolution between install and discovery, reject mismatched `runtimeExtensions`, and cache bundled runtime-dependency manifest reads during scans. Thanks @codex.
+- Gateway/chat: preserve repeated boundary characters while merging assistant chat stream deltas, including repeated digits, CJK characters, and markdown/table tokens. Fixes #63769; carries forward #63994 and #65457. Thanks @yon950905 and @mohuaxiao.
+- Plugins: share package entrypoint resolution between install and discovery, reject mismatched `runtimeExtensions`, and cache bundled runtime-dependency manifest reads during scans. Thanks @vincentkoc.
+- WhatsApp/Web: keep quiet but healthy linked-device sessions connected by basing the watchdog on WhatsApp Web transport activity, while retaining a longer app-silence cap so frame activity cannot mask a stuck session forever. Fixes #70678; carries forward the focused #71466 approach and keeps #63939 as related configurable-timeout follow-up. Thanks @vincentkoc and @oromeis.
+- Discord/gateway: count failed health-monitor restart attempts toward cooldown and hourly caps, and evict stale account lifecycle state during channel reloads so repeated Discord gateway recovery cannot loop on old status. Fixes #38596. (#40413) Thanks @jellyAI-dev and @vashquez.
+- TTS/BlueBubbles: pre-transcode synthesized MP3 audio to opus-in-CAF (mono, 24 kHz — validated against macOS 15.x Messages.app's native voice-memo CAF descriptor) on macOS hosts before handing the file to BlueBubbles, so iMessage renders the result as a native voice-memo bubble with proper duration and waveform UI instead of a plain file attachment. Adds an opt-in `tts.voice.preferAudioFileFormat` channel capability and a magic-byte sniff for the CAF container so the host-local-media validator (which uses `file-type` and didn't recognize CAF natively) can verify the pre-transcoded buffer. Channels that don't opt in are unaffected. (#72586) Fixes #72506. Thanks @omarshahine.
+- Feishu: retry WebSocket startup failures with monitor-owned backoff while preserving SDK-local heartbeat defaults, so persistent-connection startup failures no longer leave the monitor hung. Fixes #68766; related #42354 and #55532. Thanks @alex-xuweilong, @120106835, @sirfengyu, and @tianhaocui.
 
 ## 2026.4.26
 
+### Changes
+
+- Control UI/Talk: add a generic browser realtime transport contract, Google Live browser Talk sessions with constrained ephemeral tokens, and a Gateway relay for backend-only realtime voice plugins. Thanks @VACInc.
+- CLI/models: route provider-filtered model listing through an explicit source plan so user config, installed manifest rows, Provider Index previews, and scoped runtime fallbacks keep a stable authority order without adding another catalog cache. Thanks @shakkernerd.
+- Plugins/cron: add a typed `cron_changed` hook for observing gateway-owned cron lifecycle updates without depending on internal cron events. Thanks @amknight.
+- Providers: add Cerebras as a bundled plugin with onboarding, static model catalog, docs, and manifest-owned endpoint metadata.
+- Memory/OpenAI-compatible: add optional `memorySearch.inputType`, `queryInputType`, and `documentInputType` config for asymmetric embedding endpoints, including direct query embeddings and provider batch indexing. Carries forward #63313 and #60727. Thanks @HOYALIM and @prospect1314521.
+- Ollama/memory: add model-specific retrieval query prefixes for `nomic-embed-text`, `qwen3-embedding`, and `mxbai-embed-large` memory-search queries while leaving document batches unchanged. Carries forward #45013. Thanks @laolin5564.
+- Plugins/providers: move pre-runtime model-id normalization, provider endpoint host metadata, and OpenAI-compatible request-family hints into plugin manifests so core no longer carries bundled-provider routing tables.
+- Plugins/config: deprecate direct plugin config load/write helpers in favor of passed runtime snapshots plus transactional mutation helpers with explicit restart follow-up policy, scanner guardrails, runtime warnings, and revision-based cache invalidation.
+- Plugins/install: allow `OPENCLAW_PLUGIN_STAGE_DIR` to contain layered runtime-dependency roots, resolving read-only preinstalled deps before installing missing deps into the final writable root. Fixes #72396. Thanks @liorb-mountapps.
+- Control UI: add a raw config pending-changes diff panel that parses JSON5, redacts sensitive values until reveal, and avoids fake raw-edit callbacks when opening the panel. Refs #39831; supersedes #48621 and #46654. Thanks @JiajunBernoulli and @BunsDev.
+- Control UI: polish the quick settings dashboard grid so common cards align across desktop, tablet, and mobile layouts without wasting horizontal space. Thanks @BunsDev.
+- Matrix/E2EE: add `openclaw matrix encryption setup` to enable Matrix encryption, bootstrap recovery, and print verification status from one setup flow. Thanks @gumadeiras.
+- Agents/compaction: add an opt-in `agents.defaults.compaction.maxActiveTranscriptBytes` preflight trigger that runs normal local compaction when the active JSONL grows too large, requiring transcript rotation so successful compaction moves future turns onto a smaller successor file instead of raw byte-splitting history. Thanks @vincentkoc.
+- CLI/migration: add a bundled Claude importer that previews and applies Claude Code and Claude Desktop instructions, MCP servers, skills, command prompts, and safe archive/manual-review state. Thanks @vincentkoc.
+- CLI/migration: add `openclaw migrate` with plan, dry-run, JSON, pre-migration backup, onboarding detection, archive-only report copies, and a bundled Hermes importer for configuration, memory/plugin hints, model providers, MCP servers, skills, and supported credentials. Thanks @NousResearch.
+
 ### Fixes
 
-- Plugins/CLI: let flag-driven `openclaw channels add` install the selected channel plugin from its default source without opening an interactive prompt, fixing published npm Telegram setup in stdin-closed automation. Thanks @codex.
+- Gateway/device tokens: stop echoing rotated bearer tokens from shared/admin `device.token.rotate` responses while preserving the same-device token handoff needed by token-only clients before reconnect. (#66773) Thanks @MoerAI.
+- Agents/sessions_spawn: resolve configured bare model aliases for spawn model overrides using the target agent runtime default provider, carrying forward the alias-specific #69029 review fixes from #59681 without the unrelated active-session pruning path. Fixes #59681. Thanks @HowdyDooToYou.
+- Control UI/Talk: keep Google Live browser sessions on the WebSocket transport instead of falling back to WebRTC, validate browser Google Live WebSocket endpoints, cap Gateway relay sessions per browser connection, and remove stale browser-native voice buttons that did not use the configured Talk/TTS provider. Thanks @BunsDev.
+- Gateway/startup: reuse config snapshot plugin manifests for startup auto-enable before plugin bootstrap plans plugin loading. Thanks @shakkernerd.
+- Agents/subagents: enforce `subagents.allowAgents` for explicit same-agent `sessions_spawn(agentId=...)` calls instead of auto-allowing requester self-targets. Fixes #72827. Thanks @oiGaDio.
+- ACP/sessions_spawn: let explicit `sessions_spawn(runtime="acp")` bootstrap turns run while `acp.dispatch.enabled=false` still blocks automatic ACP thread dispatch. Fixes #63591. Thanks @moeedahmed.
+- CLI/update: install npm global updates into a verified temporary prefix before swapping the package tree into place, preventing mixed old/new installs and stale packaged files from breaking `openclaw update` verification. Thanks @shakkernerd.
+- Gateway: skip CLI startup self-respawn for foreground gateway runs so low-memory Linux/Node 24 hosts start through the same path as direct `dist/index.js` without hanging before logs. Fixes #72720. Thanks @sign-2025.
+- Google Meet: grant Meet media permissions through browser control and pin local Chrome audio defaults to `BlackHole 2ch`, so joined agents no longer show `Permission needed` or use macOS default audio devices. Thanks @DougButdorf.
+- Gateway: treat uncaught broken-pipe stream errors like `EPIPE` as non-fatal so Discord delivery or closed pipes no longer crash the Gateway after a reply is ready.
+- Google Meet: route local Chrome joins through OpenClaw browser control instead of raw default Chrome, so agents use the configured OpenClaw browser profile when opening Meet. Thanks @oromeis.
+- Plugins/discovery: follow symlinked plugin directories in global and workspace plugin roots while keeping broken links ignored and existing package safety checks in place. Fixes #36754; carries forward #72695 and #63206. Thanks @Quackstro, @ming1523, and @xsfX20.
+- Plugins/install: skip test files and directories during install security scans while still force-scanning declared runtime entrypoints, so packaged test mocks no longer block plugin installs. Fixes #66840; carries forward #67050. Thanks @saurabhjain1592 and @Magicray1217.
+- Plugins/install: allow exact package-manager peer links back to the trusted OpenClaw host package during install security scans while continuing to block spoofed or nested escaping `node_modules` symlinks. Carries forward #70819. Thanks @fgabelmannjr.
+- Plugins/install: resolve plugin install destinations from the active profile state dir across CLI, ClawHub, marketplace, local path, and channel setup installs, so `openclaw --profile <name> plugins install ...` no longer writes into the default profile. Fixes #69960; carries forward #69971. Thanks @FrancisLyman and @Sanjays2402.
+- Plugins/registry: suppress duplicate-plugin startup warnings when a tracked npm-installed plugin intentionally overrides the bundled plugin with the same id. Carries forward #48673. Thanks @abdushsk.
+- Plugins/startup: reuse canonical realpath lookups throughout each plugin discovery pass, including package and manifest boundary checks, so Windows npm-global startups no longer repeat expensive path resolution for the same plugin roots. Fixes #65733. Thanks @welfo-beo.
+- Gateway/proxy: pass `ALL_PROXY` / `all_proxy` into the global Undici env-proxy dispatcher and provider proxy-fetch helper while keeping SSRF trusted-proxy auto-upgrade on `HTTP_PROXY` / `HTTPS_PROXY` only, so gateway/provider calls honor all-proxy setups without weakening guarded fetches. Fixes #43821; carries forward #43919. Thanks @RickyTong1.
+- Providers/LiteLLM: honor `--custom-base-url` during non-interactive API-key onboarding without adding proxy discovery side effects, so scripted remote LiteLLM setup keeps the requested endpoint instead of falling back to localhost. Carries forward #66160. Thanks @dongs0104.
+- Reply/link understanding: keep media and link preprocessing on stable runtime entrypoints and continue with raw message content if optional enrichment fails, so URL-bearing messages are no longer dropped after stale runtime chunk upgrades. Fixes #68466. Thanks @songshikang0111.
+- Discord: persist routed model-picker overrides when the hidden `/model` dispatch succeeds but the bound thread session store is still stale, including LM Studio suffixed model ids. Carries forward #61473. Thanks @Nanako0129.
+- Nodes/CLI: add `openclaw nodes remove --node <id|name|ip>` and `node.pair.remove` so stale gateway-owned node pairing records can be cleaned without hand-editing state files.
+- Gateway: include the connecting client and fresh presence version in the initial `hello-ok` snapshot, so clients no longer need a follow-up event before seeing themselves online.
+- Docker: install the CA certificate bundle in the slim runtime image so HTTPS calls from containerized gateways no longer fail TLS setup after the `bookworm-slim` base switch. Fixes #72787. Thanks @ryuhaneul.
+- Providers/OpenRouter: remove retired Hunter Alpha and Healer Alpha static catalog rows and disable proxy reasoning injection for stale Hunter Alpha configs, so replies are not hidden when OpenRouter returns answer text in reasoning fields. Fixes #43942. Thanks @EvanDataForge.
+- Providers/reasoning: let Groq and LM Studio declare provider-native reasoning effort values, so Qwen thinking models receive `none`/`default` or `off`/`on` instead of OpenAI-only `low`/`medium` values. Fixes #32638. Thanks @Aqu1bp, @mgoulart, @Norpps, and @BSTail.
+- Local models: default custom providers with only `baseUrl` to the Chat Completions adapter and trust loopback model requests automatically, so local OpenAI-compatible proxies receive `/v1/chat/completions` without timing out. Fixes #40024. Thanks @parachuteshe.
+- Channels/message tool: surface Discord, Slack, and Mattermost `user:`/`channel:` target syntax in the shared message target schema and Discord ambiguity errors, so DM sends by numeric id stop burning retries before finding `user:<id>`. Fixes #72401. Thanks @garyd9, @hclsys, and @praveen9354.
+- Agents/tools: scope tool-loop detection history to the active run when available, so scheduled heartbeat cycles no longer inherit stale repeated-call counts from previous runs. Fixes #40144. Thanks @mattbrown319.
+- Agents/subagents: preserve requester delivery for completion announces when a child agent is bound to a different channel account while keeping same-channel thread completions routed to the child thread. Thanks @sfuminya.
+- Agents/subagents: fail closed instead of selecting a single child thread binding when completion delivery lacks requester conversation signal. Thanks @suyua9.
+- Agents/status: persist the post-compaction token estimate from auto-compaction when providers omit usage metadata, so `/status` and session lists keep showing fresh context usage after compaction. Fixes #67667; carries forward #72822. Thanks @Jimmy-xuzimo and @skylight-9.
+- Control UI: show loading, reload, and retry states when a lazy dashboard panel cannot load after an upgrade, so the Logs tab no longer appears blank on stale browser bundles. Fixes #72450. Thanks @sobergou.
+- Gateway/plugins: start the Gateway in degraded mode when a single plugin entry has invalid schema config, and let `openclaw doctor --fix` quarantine that plugin config instead of crash-looping every channel. Fixes #62976 and #70371. Thanks @Doraemon-Claw and @pksidekyk.
+- Agents/plugins: skip malformed plugin tools with missing schema objects and report plugin diagnostics, so one broken tool no longer crashes Anthropic agent runs. Fixes #69423. Thanks @jmnickels.
+- Agents/reasoning: recover fully wrapped unclosed `<think>` replies that would otherwise sanitize to empty text while keeping strict stripping for closed reasoning blocks and unclosed tails after visible text. Fixes #37696; supersedes #51915. Thanks @druide67 and @okuyam2y.
+- Control UI/Gateway: bind WebChat handshakes to their active socket and reject post-close server registrations, so aborted connects no longer leave zombie clients or misleading duplicate WebSocket connection logs. Fixes #72753. Thanks @LumenFromTheFuture.
+- Agents/fallback: split ambiguous provider failures into `empty_response`, `no_error_details`, and `unclassified`, and add flat fallback-step fields to structured fallback logs so primary-model failures stay visible when later fallbacks also fail. Fixes #71922; refs #71744. Thanks @andyk-ms and @nikolaykazakovvs-ux.
+- Gateway/startup: reuse the plugin manifest registry inside config validation so restrictive plugin allowlists avoid a duplicate manifest pass during startup. Thanks @shakkernerd.
+- Gateway/startup: run plugin auto-enable from authored source config and skip disabled setup probes, avoiding runtime-default plugin allowlist writes and a second config snapshot read during startup. Thanks @shakkernerd.
+- Plugins/Windows: normalize Windows absolute paths before handing bundled plugin modules to Jiti, so Feishu/Lark message sending no longer fails with unsupported `c:` ESM loader URLs. Fixes #72783. Thanks @jackychen-png.
+- CLI/doctor: run bundled plugin runtime-dependency repairs through the async npm installer with spinner/line progress and heartbeat updates, so long `openclaw doctor --fix` installs no longer look hung in TTY or piped output. Fixes #72775. Thanks @dfpalhano.
+- Feishu/Windows: normalize bundled channel sidecar loads before Jiti evaluates them, so Feishu outbound sends no longer fail with raw `C:` ESM loader errors on Windows. Fixes #72783. Thanks @jackychen-png.
+- Agents/tools: ignore volatile `exec` runtime metadata when comparing tool-loop outcomes, so enabled loop detection can stop repeated identical shell-command results instead of resetting on duration, PID, session, or cwd changes. Fixes #34574; supersedes #41502. Thanks @gucasbrg and @Zcg2021.
+- Agents/fallback: classify internal live-session model switch conflicts as unknown fallback failures instead of provider overloads, preventing local vLLM endpoints from receiving misleading overloaded cooldowns. Refs #63229. Thanks @clawdia-lobster.
+- Discord: let thread sessions inherit the parent channel's session-level `/model` override as a model-only fallback without enabling parent transcript inheritance. Fixes #72755. Thanks @solavrc.
+- Gateway/plugins: skip stale configured channels whose matching plugin is no longer discoverable, point cleanup at `openclaw doctor --fix`, and keep unrelated channel typos fatal so one missing channel plugin no longer crash-loops the Gateway. Fixes #53311. Thanks @futhgar.
+- Control UI: keep session-specific assistant identity loads authoritative after WebSocket connect, so non-main agent chat sessions do not show the main agent name in the header after bootstrap refreshes. Fixes #72776. Thanks @rockytian-top.
+- Agents/Qwen: preserve exact custom `modelstudio` provider configs with foreign `api` owners so explicit OpenAI-compatible Model Studio endpoints no longer get normalized into the bundled Qwen plugin path. Fixes #64483. Thanks @FiredMosquito831.
+- MCP/bundle-mcp: normalize CLI-native `type: "http"` MCP server entries to OpenClaw `transport: "streamable-http"` on save, repair existing configs with doctor, and keep embedded Pi from falling back to legacy SSE GET-first startup for those servers. Fixes #72757. Thanks @Studioscale.
+- OpenCode: expose Anthropic Opus/Sonnet 4.x thinking levels for proxied Claude models, so `/think xhigh`, `/think adaptive`, and `/think max` validate consistently with the direct Anthropic provider. Fixes #72729. Thanks @haishmg and @aaajiao.
+- Media-understanding/audio: migrate deprecated `{input}` placeholders in legacy `audio.transcription.command` configs to `{{MediaPath}}`, so custom audio transcribers no longer receive the literal placeholder after doctor repair. Fixes #72760. Thanks @krisfanue3-hash.
+- Ollama/WSL2: warn when GPU-backed WSL2 installs combine CUDA visibility with an autostarting `ollama.service` using `Restart=always`, and document the systemd, `.wslconfig`, and keep-alive mitigation for crash loops. Carries forward #61022; fixes #61185. Thanks @yhyatt.
+- Ollama/onboarding: de-dupe suggested bare local models against installed `:latest` tags and skip redundant pulls, so setup shows the installed model once and no longer says it is downloading an already available model. Fixes #68952. Thanks @tleyden.
+- Memory-core/doctor: keep `doctor.memory.status` on the cached path by default and only run live embedding pings for explicit deep probes, preventing slow local embedding backends from blocking Gateway status checks. Fixes #71568. Thanks @apex-system.
+- Memory/QMD: group same-source collections into one QMD search invocation when the installed QMD supports multiple `-c` filters, while keeping older QMD builds on the per-collection fallback. Fixes #72484; supersedes #72485 and #69583. Thanks @BsnizND and @zeroaltitude.
+- Memory/QMD: accept QMD status vector-count variants such as `Vectors = 42`, `Vectors:42`, and `Vectors: 42 embedded`, so `memory status --deep` no longer reports embeddings unavailable for healthy QMD wrappers. Fixes #63652; carries forward #63678. Thanks @apoapostolov and @WarrenJones.
+- Memory/QMD: skip QMD vector status probes and embedding maintenance in lexical `searchMode: "search"`, so BM25-only QMD setups on ARM do not trigger llama.cpp/Vulkan builds during status checks or embed cycles. Fixes #59234 and #67113. Thanks @PrinceOfEgypt, @Vksh07, @Snipe76, @NomLom, @t4r3e2q1-commits, and @dmak.
+- Memory/QMD: report the live watcher dirty state in memory status, so changed QMD-backed memory files show as dirty until the queued sync finishes. Fixes #60244. Thanks @xinzf.
+- Compaction: skip oversized pre-compaction checkpoint snapshots and prune duplicate long user turns from compaction input and rotated successor transcripts, preventing retry storms from being preserved across checkpoint cycles. Fixes #72780. Thanks @SweetSophia.
+- Control UI/Cron: render cron job prompts and run summaries as sanitized markdown in the dashboard, with full-width block content, safer link clicks, and no duplicate error text when a failed run has no summary. Supersedes #48504. Thanks @garethdaine.
+- Control UI/Gateway: preserve WebChat client version labels across localhost, 127.0.0.1, and IPv6 loopback aliases on the same port, avoiding misleading `vcontrol-ui` connection logs while investigating duplicate-message reports. Refs #72753 and #72742. Thanks @LumenFromTheFuture and @allesgutefy.
+- Agents/reasoning: treat orphan closing reasoning tags with following answer text as a privacy boundary across delivery, history, streaming, and Control UI sanitizers so malformed local-model output cannot leak chain-of-thought text. Fixes #67092. Thanks @AnildoSilva.
+- Memory-core: run one-shot memory CLI commands through transient builtin and QMD managers so `memory index`, `memory status --index`, and `memory search` no longer start long-lived file watchers that can hit macOS `EMFILE` limits. Fixes #59101; carries forward #49851. Thanks @mbear469210-coder and @maoyuanxue.
+- Agents/ACP: ship the Claude ACP adapter with OpenClaw and require Claude result messages before idle can complete a prompt, preventing parent agents from waking early on long-running `sessions_spawn(runtime: "acp", agentId: "claude")` children. Fixes #72080. Thanks @siavash-saki and @iannwu.
+- CLI/tasks: route `tasks --json`, `tasks list --json`, and `tasks audit --json` through a lean JSON path so read-only task inspection no longer loads unrelated plugin/runtime command graphs. Fixes #66238. Thanks @ChuckChambers.
+- Memory-core: re-resolve the active runtime config whenever `memory_search` or `memory_get` executes, so provider changes made by `config.patch` stop leaving stale embedding backends behind in existing tool instances. Fixes #61098. Thanks @BradGroux and @Linux2010.
+- WebChat: keep bare `/new` and `/reset` startup instructions out of visible chat history while preserving `/reset <note>` as user-visible transcript text. Fixes #72369. Thanks @collynes and @haishmg.
+- Tasks/memory: checkpoint and truncate SQLite WAL sidecars on a timer and before close for task, Task Flow, proxy capture, and builtin memory databases, bounding long-running gateway `*.sqlite-wal` growth. Fixes #72774. Thanks @dfpalhano.
+- CLI/doctor: remove dangling channel config, heartbeat targets, and channel model overrides when stale plugin repair removes a missing channel plugin, preventing Gateway boot loops after failed plugin reinstalls. Fixes #65293. Thanks @yidecode.
+- Control UI/Gateway: cache, coalesce, stale-refresh, and invalidate effective tool inventory on channel registry changes while reusing the gateway-bound plugin registry and avoiding model/auth discovery, so chat runs no longer stall Control UI requests on repeated plugin/model setup. Fixes #72365; supersedes #72558. Thanks @Gabiii2398 and @1yihui.
+- Channels/setup: treat bundled channel plugins as already bundled during `channels add` and onboarding, enabling them without writing redundant `plugins.load.paths` entries or path install records. Fixes #72740. Thanks @iCodePoet.
+- WhatsApp: honor gateway `HTTPS_PROXY` / `HTTP_PROXY` env vars for QR-login WebSocket connections, while respecting `NO_PROXY`, so proxied networks no longer fall back to direct `mmg.whatsapp.net` connections that time out with 408. Fixes #72547; supersedes #72692. Thanks @mebusw and @SymbolStar.
+- Bonjour: default mDNS advertisements to the system hostname when it is DNS-safe, avoiding `openclaw.local` probing conflicts and Gateway restart loops on hosts such as `Lobster` or `ubuntu`. Fixes #72355 and #72689; supersedes #72694. Thanks @mscheuerlein-bot, @gcusms, @moyuwuhen601, @pavan987, @zml-0912, @hhq365, and @SymbolStar.
+- Agents/OpenAI-compatible: retry replay-safe empty `stop` turns once for `openai-completions` endpoints, so transient empty local backend responses no longer surface as “Agent couldn't generate a response” when a continuation succeeds, and restore `openclaw agent --model` for one-shot CLI runs. Fixes #72751. Thanks @moooV252.
+- Git hooks: skip ignored staged paths when formatting and restaging pre-commit files, so merge commits no longer abort when `.gitignore` newly ignores staged merged content. Fixes #72744. Thanks @100yenadmin.
+- Memory-core/dreaming: add a supported `dreaming.model` knob for Dream Diary narrative subagents, wired through phase config and the existing plugin subagent model-override trust gate. Refs #65963. Thanks @esqandil and @mjamiv.
+- Agents/Anthropic: remove trailing assistant prefill payloads when extended thinking is enabled, so Opus 4.7/Sonnet 4.6 requests do not fail Anthropic's user-final-turn validation. Fixes #72739. Thanks @superandylin.
+- Agents/vLLM/Qwen: add plugin-owned Qwen thinking controls for vLLM chat-template kwargs and DashScope-style top-level `enable_thinking` flags, including preserved thinking for agent loops. Fixes #72329. Thanks @stavrostzagadouris.
+- Memory-core/dreaming: treat request-scoped narrative fallback as expected, skip session cleanup when no subagent run was created, and remove duplicate phase-level cleanup so fallback no longer emits warning noise. Fixes #67152. Thanks @jsompis.
+- Agents/exec: apply configured `tools.exec.timeoutSec` to background, `yieldMs`, and node `system.run` commands when no per-call timeout is set, preventing auto-backgrounded and remote node commands from running indefinitely. Fixes #67600; supersedes #67603. Thanks @dlmpx and @kagura-agent.
+- Config/doctor: stop masking unknown-key validation diagnostics such as `agents.defaults.llm`, and have `openclaw doctor --fix` remove the retired `agents.defaults.llm` timeout block. Thanks @aidiffuser.
+- CLI/startup: keep the built pre-dispatch CLI graph free of package-level imports and extend packaged CLI smoke coverage to onboard and doctor help paths, preventing missing runtime dependencies such as tslog from killing onboarding before repair code can run. Fixes #63024. Thanks @hu19940121.
+- CLI/plugins: preserve unversioned ClawHub install specs so `plugins update` can follow newer ClawHub releases instead of pinning to the initially resolved version. Fixes #63010; supersedes #58426. Thanks @kangsen1234 and @robinspt.
+- Memory-core/subagents: tag plugin-created subagent sessions with their plugin owner so dreaming narrative cleanup can delete its own ephemeral sessions without granting broad admin session deletion. Fixes #72712. Thanks @BSG2000.
+- Gateway/models: move local-provider pricing opt-outs, OpenRouter/LiteLLM aliases, and proxy passthrough pricing lookup into plugin manifest metadata so core no longer carries extension-specific pricing tables.
+- CLI/update: honor `OPENCLAW_NO_AUTO_UPDATE=1` as a gateway startup kill-switch for configured background package auto-updates, so operators can hold a deliberate downgrade during incident recovery without editing config first. Fixes #72715. Thanks @Xivi08.
+- Agents/Claude CLI: force live-session launches to include `--output-format stream-json` whenever OpenClaw adds `--input-format stream-json`, so new Claude CLI sessions no longer fail immediately while reusable sessions keep working. Fixes #72206. Thanks @kwangwonkoh and @Xivi08.
+- CLI/plugins: accept ClawHub plugin API wildcard ranges such as `*` without rejecting compatible plugin installs, while still requiring a valid runtime API version. Fixes #56446; supersedes #56466. Thanks @darconada and @claygeo.
+- CLI/plugins: add an explicit `npm:<package>` install prefix that skips ClawHub lookup for known npm packages while keeping bare package specs ClawHub-first. Fixes #55805; supersedes #54377. Thanks @Zeoy2020 and @vagusX.
+- CLI/plugins: let config-gated bundled plugins install without persisting invalid placeholder config entries, so install/uninstall sweeps can cover plugins such as memory-lancedb before the user configures credentials. Thanks @vincentkoc.
+- CLI/plugins: reject malformed ClawHub plugin specs with trailing `@` before registry lookup, so empty-version typos report as invalid specs instead of package-not-found errors. Fixes #56579; supersedes #56582. Thanks @Kansodata.
+- Agents/sessions: acquire the session write lock only after cold bootstrap, plugin, and tool setup so fallback runs are not blocked by stalled pre-model startup work.
+- Browser/plugins: auto-start the bundled browser plugin when root `browser` config is present, including restrictive plugin allowlists, and ignore stale persisted plugin registries whose package paths no longer exist.
+- Browser: circuit-break repeated managed Chrome launch failures per profile so browser requests stop spawning Chromium indefinitely when CDP cannot start. Fixes #64271. Thanks @TheophilusChinomona.
+- Gateway/models: skip external OpenRouter and LiteLLM pricing refreshes for local/self-hosted model endpoints so startup does not wait on remote pricing catalogs for local-only Ollama, vLLM, and compatible providers.
+- CLI/plugins: stop security-blocked plugin installs from retrying as hook packs, so normal plugin packages report the scanner failure without a misleading "not a valid hook pack" follow-up. Fixes #61175; supersedes #64102. Thanks @KonsultDigital and @ziyincody.
+- Agents/Anthropic: strip stale trailing assistant prefill turns from outbound replay so context-engine short circuits cannot send unsupported assistant-prefill payloads to provider APIs. Fixes #72556. Thanks @Veda-openclaw.
+- Agents/Google: strip stale trailing assistant/model prefill turns from Gemini outbound replay so Google Generative AI requests end with a user turn or function response. Follow-up to #72556. Thanks @Veda-openclaw.
+- Control UI/Dreaming: require explicit confirmation before applying restart-impacting Dreaming mode changes, with restart warning copy and loading feedback. Fixes #63804. (#63807) Thanks @bbddbb1.
+- CLI/agent: mark Gateway-to-embedded fallback runs with `meta.transport: "embedded"` and `meta.fallbackFrom: "gateway"` in JSON output, and make the terminal diagnostic explicit so scripts and operators can distinguish fallback runs from Gateway runs. Fixes #71416. Thanks @amknight.
+- Agents/tools: normalize `null` or missing tool-call arguments to `{}` for parameterless object schemas before Pi validation, so empty-argument tools run instead of failing argument validation. Fixes #72587. Thanks @amknight.
+- Agents/subagents: clear active embedded-run state before terminal lifecycle events so post-completion cleanup no longer treats finished child runs as still active and skips archive or announcement bookkeeping. (#70187) Thanks @amknight.
+- CLI/update: keep the automatic post-update completion refresh on the core-command tree so it no longer stages bundled plugin runtime deps before the Gateway restart path, avoiding `.24` update hangs and 1006 disconnect cascades. Fixes #72665. Thanks @sakalaboator and @He-Pin.
+- Control UI: make explicit Reload Config actions discard stale local config edits while passive refreshes and failed-save recovery keep pending drafts intact. Fixes #40352; carries forward #40443. Thanks @realmikechong-dotcom.
+- Agents/Bedrock: stop heartbeat runs from persisting blank user transcript turns and repair existing blank user text messages before replay, preventing AWS Bedrock `ContentBlock` blank-text validation failures. Fixes #72640 and #72622. Thanks @goldzulu.
+- Agents/LM Studio: promote standalone bracketed local-model tool requests into registered tool calls and hide unsupported bracket blocks from visible replies, so MemPalace MCP lookups do not print raw `[tool]` JSON scaffolding in chat. Fixes #66178. Thanks @detroit357.
+- Local models: warn when an assistant reply looks like a tool call but the provider emitted plain text instead of a structured tool invocation, making fake/non-executed tool calls visible in logs. Fixes #51332. Thanks @emilclaw.
+- Local models: accept persisted non-secret local auth markers for private-LAN custom OpenAI-compatible providers, so LAN Ollama configs no longer fail with missing auth when `ollama-local` is saved as the key. Fixes #49736. Thanks @charles-zh.
+- TUI/local models: treat visible gateway client labels such as `openclaw-tui` as the current requester session for session-aware tools, so Ollama tool calls no longer fail by resolving the UI label as a session id. Fixes #66391. Thanks @kickingzebra.
+- Local models: route self-hosted OpenAI-compatible model discovery through the guarded fetch path pinned to the configured host, covering vLLM and SGLang setup without reopening local/LAN SSRF probes. Supersedes #46359. Thanks @cdxiaodong.
+- Local models: classify terminated, reset, closed, timeout, and aborted model-call failures and attach a process memory snapshot to the diagnostic event, making LM Studio/Ollama RAM-pressure failures easier to prove from stability bundles. Refs #65551. Thanks @BigWiLLi111.
+- Local models: pass configured provider request timeouts through OpenAI SDK transports and the model idle watchdog so long-running local or custom OpenAI-compatible streams use one timeout knob instead of hitting the SDK's 10-minute default or the 120s idle default. Fixes #63663. Thanks @aidiffuser.
+- LM Studio: trust configured LM Studio loopback, LAN, and tailnet endpoints for guarded model requests by default, preserving explicit private-network opt-outs. Refs #60994. Thanks @tnowakow.
+- Docker/setup: route Docker onboarding defaults for host-side LM Studio and Ollama through `host.docker.internal` and add the Linux host-gateway mapping to the bundled Compose file, so containerized gateways can reach local providers without using container loopback. Fixes #68684; supersedes #68702. Thanks @safrano9999 and @skolez.
+- Agents/LM Studio: strip prior-turn Gemma 4 reasoning from OpenAI-compatible replay while preserving active tool-call continuation reasoning. Fixes #68704. Thanks @chip-snomo and @Kailigithub.
+- LM Studio: allow interactive onboarding to leave the API key blank for unauthenticated local servers, using local synthetic auth while clearing stale LM Studio auth profiles. Fixes #66937. Thanks @olamedia.
+- Plugins/startup: use a `PluginLookUpTable` during Gateway startup so channel ownership, deferred channel loading, and startup plugin IDs reuse the same installed manifest registry instead of rebuilding manifest metadata on the boot path. Thanks @shakkernerd.
+- Plugins/startup: pass the Gateway `PluginLookUpTable` through plugin loading so auto-enable checks and startup-scope fallback reuse the same manifest registry instead of doing another manifest pass. Thanks @shakkernerd.
+- Plugins/startup: carry the Gateway `PluginLookUpTable` into deferred channel full-runtime reloads so post-listen startup does not rebuild manifest metadata after the provisional setup-runtime load. Thanks @shakkernerd.
+- Gateway/models: reuse Gateway plugin manifest metadata during the initial model-pricing refresh so pricing policies and configured plugin web-search models do not rebuild plugin lookups during startup. Thanks @shakkernerd.
+- Gateway/startup: extend `OPENCLAW_GATEWAY_STARTUP_TRACE=1` with per-phase event-loop delay plus plugin lookup-table timing and count metrics for installed-index, manifest, startup-plan, and owner-map work, and include the new timing fields in startup benchmark summaries. Thanks @shakkernerd.
+- Plugins/channels: resolve read-only channel command defaults from one plugin index plus manifest pass instead of reloading plugin metadata while checking candidate plugin enablement. Thanks @shakkernerd.
+- Plugins/capabilities: cache manifest-derived capability provider plugin IDs per config snapshot so repeated TTS, media, realtime, memory, image, video, and music provider resolution avoids redundant manifest scans. Thanks @shakkernerd.
+- Plugins/contracts: resolve runtime manifest-contract plugin owners from one plugin index plus manifest pass instead of rebuilding manifest metadata separately for all owners and enabled owners. Thanks @shakkernerd.
+- Plugins/extractors: reuse one manifest registry pass while resolving bundled document and web-content extractor plugins instead of rereading manifests for compatibility and enablement filtering. Thanks @shakkernerd.
+- Plugins/providers: reuse one plugin registry snapshot and manifest registry while resolving provider discovery entries instead of rebuilding manifest metadata after provider owner discovery. Thanks @shakkernerd.
+- Plugins/registry: resolve lookup-table owner maps for providers, CLI backends, setup providers, command aliases, model catalogs, channel configs, and manifest contracts while preserving setup-only CLI backend ownership. Thanks @shakkernerd.
+- Plugins/registry: cache repeated installed-index manifest registry fallback rebuilds behind a bounded invalidating cache so cold provider-discovery paths avoid rereading unchanged manifests. Thanks @mcaxtr.
+- Plugins/web: reuse manifest records already loaded for bundled web provider candidate discovery when falling back to public artifact provider loading. Thanks @shakkernerd.
+- Mattermost: keep direct-message replies top-level by suppressing reply roots for DM delivery while preserving channel and group thread roots, and derive inbound chat kind from the trusted channel lookup instead of the websocket event channel type. Carries forward #60115, #55186, #72305, and #72659; refs #59758, #59981, #59791, and #57565. Thanks @vincentkoc, @jwchmodx, and @hnykda.
+- Docker: pre-create `/home/node/.openclaw` with node ownership and private permissions so first-run Docker Compose named volumes no longer fail startup with EACCES. (#48072, #63959; fixes #61279) Thanks @timoxue and @jeanibarz.
+- CLI/Gateway: treat local restart probe policy closes for connect, exact `device required`, pairing, and auth failures as Gateway reachability proof without accepting empty, broad standalone token/password/scope/role, or pair-substring 1008 close reasons. Fixes #48771; carries forward #48801; related #63491. Thanks @MarsDoge and @genoooool.
+- Feishu: send outgoing interactive reply payloads as native cards with clickable buttons while preserving text, media, and document-comment fallbacks. Fixes #13175 and #58298; carries forward #47891. Thanks @Horacehxw.
+- Control UI/WebChat: skip redundant final-event history reloads when the assistant payload already rendered, and keep deferred `session.message` reloads attached to the active run so final reconciliation no longer splits, duplicates, or drops assistant bubbles. Fixes #66875 and #66274; follows #66997 and #67037. Thanks @BiznessFish, @scotthuang, and @hansolo949.
+- CLI/Agents: route new `openclaw agent --to` sessions through the configured default agent while migrating legacy `agent:main:<mainKey>` rows into the default-agent store, preserving the default-agent fix from #64108. Fixes #63992; related #56370, #56453, and #42009. Thanks @mushuiyu886 and @voocel.
+- Process/Windows: decode command stdout and stderr from raw bytes with console-codepage awareness, while preserving valid UTF-8 output and multibyte characters split across chunks. Fixes #50519. Thanks @iready, @kevinten10, @zhangyongjie1997, @knightplat-blip, @heiqishi666, and @slepybear.
+- Bonjour/Windows: hide the bundled mDNS advertiser's Windows ARP shell probe so Gateway startup no longer flashes command-prompt windows. Fixes #70238. Thanks @alexandre-leng, @PratikRai0101, @infinitypacific, and @tomerpeled.
+- Agents/bootstrap: dedupe hook-injected bootstrap context files by workspace-relative path and store normalized resolved paths so duplicate relative and absolute hook paths no longer depend on the process cwd. (#59344; fixes #59319; related #56721, #56725, and #57587) Thanks @koen666.
+- Agents/bootstrap: refresh cached workspace bootstrap snapshots on long-lived main-session turns when `AGENTS.md`, `SOUL.md`, `MEMORY.md`, or `TOOLS.md` change on disk, while preserving unchanged snapshot identity through the workspace file cache. (#64871; related #43901, #26497, #28594, #30896) Thanks @aimqwest and @mikejuyoon.
+- macOS Gateway: detect installed-but-unloaded LaunchAgent split-brain states during status, doctor, and restart, and re-bootstrap launchd supervision before falling back to unmanaged listener restarts. Fixes #67335, #53475, and #71060; refs #58890, #60885, and #70801. Thanks @ze1tgeist88, @dafacto, and @vishutdhar.
+- WhatsApp: clear cached Web auth and active listener state after terminal 440/401 conflict/logout closes so linked/OK status no longer masks a dead inbound listener after relink or restart. Fixes #45474; refs #49305, #63855, #66920, and #70856. Thanks @juvenalmakoszay and @dsantoreis.
+- Gateway/restart: keep local restart-health probes on configured local daemon auth without falling back to remote gateway credentials. (#57374, #59439) Thanks @zssggle-rgb and @roytong9.
+- Plugins/install: treat mirrored core logger dependencies as staged bundled runtime deps so packaged Gateway starts do not crash when the external plugin-runtime-deps root is missing `tslog`. Fixes #72228; supersedes #72493. Thanks @deepujain.
+- Build/plugins: preserve active bundled runtime-dependency staging temp directories owned by live build processes so overlapping postbuild runs no longer delete each other's staged deps mid-prune. Supersedes #72220. Thanks @VACInc.
+- Plugins/install: hide bundled runtime-dependency npm child windows on Windows across Gateway startup, postinstall, and packaged staging paths so Telegram/Anthropic dependency repair no longer flashes shell windows. Fixes #72315. Thanks @athuljayaram and @joshfeng.
+- Agents/Windows: normalize lazy agent runtime imports before Node ESM loading so Windows drive-letter `subagent-registry` runtime paths no longer fail every agent task with `ERR_UNSUPPORTED_ESM_URL_SCHEME`. Fixes #72636; carries forward #72716. Thanks @Andyz-CData and @xialonglee.
+- Plugins/Windows: normalize lazy plugin service override imports before Node ESM loading so drive-letter browser-control module paths no longer fail with `ERR_UNSUPPORTED_ESM_URL_SCHEME`. Fixes #72573; supersedes #72599 and #72582. Thanks @llzzww316, @feineryonah-byte, and @WuKongAI-CMU.
+- Browser/plugins: load `playwright-core` through the browser runtime shim so packaged installs can run Playwright actions from staged plugin runtime deps after doctor/startup repair. Fixes #72168; supersedes #72238. Thanks @zdg1110 and @yetval.
+- Plugins/install: stage bundled plugin runtime dependencies before Gateway startup, drain update restarts, and materialize plugin-owned root chunks in external mirrors so staged deps resolve under native ESM. Fixes #72058; supersedes #72084. Thanks @amnesia106 and @drvoss.
+- TTS/SecretRef: resolve `messages.tts.providers.*.apiKey` from the active runtime snapshot so SecretRef-backed MiniMax and other TTS provider keys work in runtime reply/audio paths. Fixes #68690. Thanks @joshavant.
+- Gateway/install: surface systemd user-bus recovery hints during Linux service activation and retry via the target user scope when `systemctl --user` reports no-medium bus failures, without letting stale `SUDO_USER` override `sudo -u` installs. Fixes #39673; refs #44417 and #63561. Thanks @Arbor4, @myrsu, @mssteuer, and @boyuaner.
+- CLI/nodes: make unfiltered `openclaw nodes list` prefer the effective paired-node view used by `nodes status` while preserving pending rows, pairing-scope fallback, terminal-safe table rendering, and paired JSON metadata. Fixes #46871; carries forward #65772 through the ProjectClownfish #72619 repair. Thanks @skainguyen1412.
+- Memory Wiki/CLI: route active bridge-mode status, doctor, and bridge imports through Gateway RPC so CLI checks use the runtime memory plugin context while disabled bridge imports stay local/offline. Carries forward #67208 and #71479; related #70185. Thanks @moorsecopers99, @vincentkoc, and @prasad-yashdeep.
+- CLI/startup: read generated startup metadata from the bundled `dist` layout before falling back to live help rendering, so root/browser help and channel-option bootstrap stay on the fast path. Thanks @vincentkoc.
+- Feishu/Lark: stop treating broadcast-only `@all`/`@_all` messages as bot mentions while preserving direct bot mentions, including messages that also include `@all`. Fixes #37706. Thanks @JosepLee.
+- CLI/help: treat positional `help` invocations like `openclaw channels help` as help paths for startup gating, avoiding model/auth warmup while preserving positional arguments such as `openclaw docs help`. Thanks @gumadeiras.
+- Web search: route plugin-scoped web_search SecretRefs through the active runtime config snapshot so provider execution receives resolved credentials across app/runtime paths, including `plugins.entries.brave.config.webSearch.apiKey`. Fixes #68690. Thanks @VACInc.
+- Voice Call: allow SecretRef-backed Twilio auth tokens and call-specific OpenAI/ElevenLabs TTS API keys through the plugin config surface. Fixes #68690. Thanks @joshavant.
+- Google Meet: clean stale chrome-node realtime audio bridges by URL before rejoining, expose active node bridge inspection, and tolerate transient node input pull failures instead of dropping the Meet session. Fixes #72371. (#72372) Thanks @BsnizND.
+- Google Meet: use 24 kHz PCM16 for Chrome command-pair realtime audio by default, preserve legacy 8 kHz G.711 mu-law custom command pairs, and let realtime providers negotiate the selected bridge audio format. Fixes #72525. Thanks @BsnizND.
+- Google Meet: clear queued Gemini Live playback when realtime interruptions arrive, restart Chrome command-pair audio output after clears, and expose Google Live interruption/VAD config knobs for Meet and Voice Call realtime bridges. Fixes #72523. (#72524) Thanks @BsnizND.
+- Google Meet: add `realtime.agentId` so live meeting consults can target a named OpenClaw agent instead of always using `main`. (#72381) Thanks @BsnizND.
+- Google Meet: route stateful `google_meet` tool actions through the gateway-owned runtime so created or joined realtime sessions remain visible to status, speak, and leave after the agent turn ends. Fixes #72440. (#72441) Thanks @BsnizND.
+- Google Meet/Voice Call: send Gemini Live a non-blocking consult continuation before long OpenClaw agent consults finish, then deliver the final result when idle so calls and meetings do not sit silent during tool-backed answers. (#72189) Thanks @VACInc.
+- Google Meet: preserve Gemini Live function names when replying to realtime tool calls so Google SDK validation accepts the `FunctionResponse` payload. Fixes #72425. (#72426) Thanks @BsnizND.
+- Discord/media: keep incidental Markdown image badges in final replies as text unless a channel opts into Markdown-image media extraction, while preserving Telegram Markdown-image media replies and explicit `MEDIA:` attachments. Fixes #72642. Thanks @solavrc and @Bartok9.
+- Matrix/E2EE: stabilize recovery and broken-device QA flows while avoiding Matrix device-cleanup sync races that could leave shutdown-time crypto work running. Thanks @gumadeiras.
+- Cron: apply `cron.maxConcurrentRuns` to a dedicated `cron-nested` isolated agent-turn lane as well as cron dispatch, so parallel cron jobs no longer serialize on inner LLM execution while non-cron nested flows keep their existing lane behavior. Fixes #72707. Thanks @kagura-agent.
+- Cron: report isolated runs as successful when verified cron delivery already delivered the reply, while keeping unresolved Message/Canvas tool failures fatal. Fixes #72732 and #50170; follow-up to #54188. Thanks @zNatix, @pixeldyn, and @ChickenEggRoll.
+- Cron: treat isolated run-level agent failures as job errors even when no reply payload is produced, synthesizing a safe error payload so model/provider failures increment error counters and trigger failure notifications instead of clearing as successful. Fixes #43604; carries forward #43631. Thanks @SPFAdvisors.
+- Cron: preserve exact `NO_REPLY` tool results from isolated jobs with empty final assistant turns as quiet successes instead of surfacing incomplete-turn errors. Fixes #68452; carries forward #68453. Thanks @anyech.
+- Cron: resolve failure alerts and failure-destination announcements against `session:<id>` targets before falling back to the creator session, so jobs created from group chats can notify the targeted direct session without cross-account routing errors. Refs #62777; carries forward #68535. Thanks @slideshow-dingo and @likewen-tech.
+- Discord: preserve explicit `user:` and `channel:` delivery targets through plugin routing so cron announcements and failure alerts keep their intended recipient kind. Refs #62777; carries forward #62798. Thanks @neeravmakwana.
+- Cron: add `failureAlert.includeSkipped` and `openclaw cron edit --failure-alert-include-skipped` so persistently skipped jobs can alert without counting skips as execution errors or affecting retry backoff. Fixes #60846. Thanks @slideshow-dingo.
+- Cron: invalidate stale pending runtime slots after live or offline `jobs.json` schedule edits, while preserving due slots for formatting-only rewrites. Fixes #27996 and #71607; carries forward #71651. Thanks @xialonglee and @fagnersouza666.
+- Cron: keep legacy flat `jobs.json` rows loadable while comparing split-state schedule identities, so old cron stores do not crash before in-memory hydration can normalize them.
+- Cron: start isolated agent-turn execution timeouts after the runner enters its effective execution lane, so queued cron/manual runs no longer spend their whole timeout budget before useful work begins. Fixes #41783. Thanks @ayanesakura and @Hurray0.
+- Cron/Telegram: preserve direct-chat thread IDs and optional account IDs when inferring reminder delivery from Telegram direct-thread session keys. Fixes #44270; carries forward #44325, #44351, #44412, and #72657. Thanks @RunMintOn, @arkyu2077, @0xsline, and @vincentkoc.
+- Cron: omit synthetic `delivery.resolved` errors from `--no-deliver` run records while preserving explicit no-deliver target traces for agent-initiated messages. Fixes #72210; carries forward #72219. Thanks @hatemclawbot-collab and @xydigit-sj.
+- Cron: classify isolated runs as errors from structured embedded-run execution-denial metadata, with final-output marker fallback for `SYSTEM_RUN_DENIED`, `INVALID_REQUEST`, and approval-binding refusals, so blocked commands no longer appear green in cron history. Fixes #67172; carries forward #67186. Thanks @oc-gh-dr, @hclsys, and @1yihui.
+- Subagents: keep the delegated task only in the subagent system prompt and send a short initial kickoff message, avoiding duplicate task tokens while preserving multiline task formatting. Fixes #72019; carries forward #72053. Thanks @Wizongod and @ly85206559.
+- Onboarding/GitHub Copilot: add manifest-owned `--github-copilot-token` support for non-interactive setup, including env fallback, tokenRef storage in ref mode, saved-profile reuse, and current Copilot default-model wiring. Refs #50002 and supersedes #50003. Thanks @scottgl9.
+- Gateway/install: add a validated `--wrapper`/`OPENCLAW_WRAPPER` service install path that persists executable LaunchAgent/systemd wrappers across forced reinstalls, updates, and doctor repairs instead of falling back to raw node/bun `ProgramArguments`. Fixes #69400. (#72445) Thanks @willtmc.
+- Plugins: fail plugin registration when loader-owned acceptance gates reject missing hook names or memory-only capability registration from non-memory plugins, surfacing the issue through plugin status and doctor instead of silently dropping the registration. Fixes #72459. Thanks @amknight.
+- macOS Gateway: write launchd services with a state-dir `WorkingDirectory`, use a durable state-dir temp path instead of freezing macOS session `TMPDIR`, create that temp directory before bootstrap, and label abort-shaped launchd exits as `SIGABRT/abort` in status output. Fixes #53679 and #70223; refs #71848. Thanks @dlturock, @stammi922, and @palladius.
+- Control UI/update: make `Update now` require a real gateway process replacement, report skipped/error update outcomes with stable reasons, and verify the running gateway version after restart so global installs cannot silently keep old code in memory. Fixes #62492; addresses #64892 and #63562. Thanks @IAMSamuelRodda.
+- Exec approvals: accept runtime-owned `source: "allow-always"` and `commandText` allowlist metadata in gateway and node approval-set payloads so Control UI round-trips no longer fail with `unexpected property 'source'`. Fixes #60000; carries forward #60064. Thanks @sd1471123, @sharkqwy, and @luoyanglang.
+- Exec/node: skip approval-plan preparation for full-trust `host=node` runs so interpreter and script commands no longer fail with `SYSTEM_RUN_DENIED: approval cannot safely bind` when effective policy is `security=full` and `ask=off`. Fixes #48457 and duplicate #69251. Thanks @ajtran303, @jaserNo1, @Blakeshannon, @lesliefag, and @AvIsBeastMC.
+- Exec/node: synthesize a local approval plan when a paired node advertises `system.run` without `system.run.prepare`, unblocking approval-required `host=node` exec on current macOS companion nodes while preserving remote prepare for node hosts that support it. Fixes #37591 and duplicate #66839; carries forward #69725. Thanks @soloclz.
+- Memory/QMD: prefer QMD's `--mask` collection pattern flag so root memory indexing stays scoped to `MEMORY.md` instead of widening to every markdown file in the workspace. Fixes #65480; supersedes #65481 and #66259. Thanks @ccage-simp, @Bortlesboat, @seank-com, and @crazyscience.
+- Memory/doctor: treat the specific `gateway timeout after ...` gateway memory probe result as inconclusive instead of reporting embeddings not ready, while preserving warnings for explicit failures. Fixes #44426; carries forward #46576 with the Greptile review feedback applied. Thanks Cengiz (@ghost).
+- Gateway/memory: defer QMD startup for implicit non-default agents and scope memory runtime loading to the selected memory slot so Gateway boot and first memory recall avoid broad plugin runtime fanout. Thanks @vincentkoc.
+- Gateway/startup: keep core request handlers, setup wizard, and channel runtime helpers off the boot path until the first matching request, wizard run, or channel start, reducing no-plugin Gateway ready RSS and avoidable startup imports. Thanks @vincentkoc.
+- Gateway/startup: keep CLI outbound channel send dependencies as lazy request-time senders so Gateway boot no longer imports channel plugin registration just to construct default deps. Thanks @vincentkoc.
+- Gateway/startup: split lightweight HTTP auth helpers away from model-override helpers so Gateway bind no longer imports model catalog selection while wiring base HTTP routes. Thanks @vincentkoc.
+- Gateway/startup: lazy-load plugin HTTP route dispatch when active plugin routes exist so no-plugin Gateway boot skips plugin route runtime scope setup. Thanks @vincentkoc.
+- Gateway/startup: move chat run/subscriber registries onto a lightweight state module and defer chat/session event projection until the first event so Gateway boot skips session IO imports. Thanks @vincentkoc.
+- Gateway/startup: keep node session runtime on a lightweight JSON parser instead of importing gateway method validation helpers during boot. Thanks @vincentkoc.
+- Gateway/startup: read embedded-run activity from a lightweight shared state module so restart deferral no longer imports the embedded runner during Gateway boot. Thanks @vincentkoc.
+- Gateway/startup: defer MCP loopback server imports until Gateway shutdown so normal boot no longer loads the loopback HTTP/tool schema stack just to register close handlers. Thanks @vincentkoc.
+- Gateway/startup: resolve channel runtime helpers asynchronously only when an enabled/configured channel starts, so no-channel Gateway boot skips auto-reply, media, pairing, and outbound channel helper imports. Thanks @vincentkoc.
+- Gateway/startup: lazy-load HTTP auth, canvas auth, and plugin route scope helpers from their request paths so Gateway bind no longer pays those utility graphs during boot. Thanks @vincentkoc.
+- Gateway/startup: defer isolated cron runner imports until `/hooks/agent` dispatch so Gateway boot skips the agent-turn runtime on installs that only need normal HTTP bind. Thanks @vincentkoc.
+- Gateway/startup: split hook request parsing into a request-path module and load the Gateway hook dispatcher only when a request matches the hooks base path, keeping hook mapping and throttle helpers off plain HTTP bind. Thanks @vincentkoc.
+- CLI/Gateway: use a parse-only config snapshot for plain `gateway status` reads and reuse same-path service config context so status no longer spends tens of seconds in full config validation before printing. Thanks @vincentkoc.
+- Lobster/Gateway: memoize repeated Ajv schema compilation before loading the embedded Lobster runtime so scheduled workflows and `llm.invoke` loops stop growing gateway heap on content-identical schemas. Fixes #71148. Thanks @cmi525, @vsolaz, and @vincentkoc.
+- Codex harness: normalize cached input tokens before session/context accounting so prompt cache reads are not double-counted in `/status`, `session_status`, or persisted `sessionEntry.totalTokens`. Fixes #69298. Thanks @richardmqq.
+- Hooks/session-memory: use the host local timezone for memory filenames, fallback timestamp slugs, and markdown headers instead of UTC dates. Fixes #46703. (#46721) Thanks @Astro-Han.
+- Gateway health: preserve live runtime-backed channel/account state in `gateway.health` snapshots and cached refreshes while keeping raw probe payloads on sensitive/admin paths only. (#39921, #42586, #46527, #52770, #42543) Thanks @FAL1989, @rstar327, @0xble, and @ajayr.
+- Feishu: extract quoted/replied interactive-card text across schema 1.0, schema 2.0, i18n, template-variable, and post-format fallback shapes without carrying broad generated/config churn from related parser experiments. (#38776, #60383, #42218, #45936) Thanks @lishuaigit, @lskun, @just2gooo, and @Br1an67.
+- Telegram/agents: hide raw failed write/edit warning messages in Telegram when the assistant already explicitly acknowledges the failed action, while keeping warnings when the reply claims success or omits the failure; #39406 remains the broader configurable delivery-policy follow-up. Fixes #51065; covers #39631. Thanks @Bartok9 and @Bortlesboat.
+- TUI: clear stale streaming status when an orphaned final event or watchdog reset leaves no tracked active run, flushing deferred local history refreshes without surfacing inactive-run failures. Fixes #64825; carries forward #52745. Thanks @lyksdu.
+- Exec approvals: accept a symlinked `OPENCLAW_HOME` as the trusted approvals root while still rejecting symlinked `.openclaw` path components below it. (#64663) Thanks @FunJim.
+- Logging: add top-level `hostname`, flattened `message`, and available `agent_id`, `session_id`, and `channel` fields to file-log JSONL records for multi-agent filtering without removing existing structured log arguments. Fixes #51075. Thanks @stevengonsalvez.
+- ACP: route server logs to stderr before Gateway config/bootstrap work so ACP stdout remains JSON-RPC only for IDE integrations. Fixes #49060. Thanks @Hollychou924.
+- Logging: propagate internal request trace scopes through Gateway HTTP requests and WebSocket frames so file logs, diagnostic events, agent run traces, model-call traces, OTEL spans, and trusted provider `traceparent` headers share a correlatable `traceId` without logging raw request or model content. Fixes #40353. Thanks @liangruochong44-ui.

+- Providers/Ollama: stop forcing native Ollama requests to use the full configured `contextWindow` as `options.num_ctx` unless `params.num_ctx` is explicit, so local models can keep Ollama's VRAM/env default instead of looking hung on first turns. Fixes #49684 and #68662. Thanks @zhouZcong and @dshenster-byte.
+- Providers/Ollama: forward whitelisted native Ollama model params such as `temperature`, `top_p`, and top-level `think` so users can disable API-level thinking or tune local models from config without proxy shims.

+- Providers/Ollama: route local web search through Ollama's signed `/api/experimental/web_search` daemon proxy, use hosted `/api/web_search` directly for `ollama.com`, and keep `OLLAMA_API_KEY` scoped to cloud fallback auth. Fixes #69132. Thanks @yoon1012 and @hyspacex.
+- Providers/Ollama: accept OpenAI SDK-style `baseURL` as an alias for `baseUrl` across discovery, streaming, setup pulls, embeddings, and web search so remote Ollama hosts are not silently ignored. Fixes #62533; supersedes #62549. Thanks @Julien-BKK and @Linux2010.
+- Providers/Ollama: scope synthetic local auth and embedding bearer headers to declared Ollama host boundaries so cloud keys are not sent to local/self-hosted embedding endpoints and remote/cloud Ollama endpoints no longer receive the `ollama-local` marker as if it were a real token. Supersedes #69261 and #69857; refs #43945. Thanks @hyspacex, @maxramsay, and @Meli73.

+- Providers/Ollama: add provider-scoped model request timeouts, thread them through guarded fetch connect/header/body/abort handling, and document `params.keep_alive` for cold local models so first-turn Ollama loads no longer require global agent timeout changes. Fixes #64541 and #68796; supersedes #65143 and #66511. Thanks @LittleJakub, @Juankcba, @uninhibite-scholar, and @yfge.
+- Providers/Ollama: preserve explicit configured model input modalities when merging discovered provider metadata so custom vision models keep image support instead of silently dropping attachments. Fixes #39690; carries forward #39785. Thanks @Skrblik and @Mriris.
+- Providers/Ollama: estimate native Ollama transcript usage when `/api/chat` omits prompt/eval counters while preserving exact zero counters, keeping local model runs visible in usage surfaces. Carries forward #39112. Thanks @TylonHH.
+- Agents/Ollama: retry native Ollama turns that finish without user-visible text, including unsigned thinking-only responses, so constrained reasoning turns can continue instead of surfacing an empty reply. Carries forward #66552 and #61223. Thanks @yfge and @L3G.
+- Docs/Ollama: expand setup recipes for local, LAN, cloud, multi-host, web search, embeddings, thinking control, and large-context troubleshooting.
+- Providers/PDF/Ollama: add bounded network timeouts for Ollama model pulls and native Anthropic/Gemini PDF analysis requests so unresponsive provider endpoints no longer hang sessions indefinitely. Fixes #54142; supersedes #54144 and #54145. Thanks @jinduwang1001-max and @arkyu2077.
+- LLM Task/Ollama: accept model overrides that already include the selected provider prefix, avoiding doubled ids such as `ollama/ollama/llama3.2:latest`, and live-verify local Ollama JSON tasks return parsed output. Fixes #50052. Thanks @ralphy-maplebots and @Hollychou924.
+- Memory/doctor: treat Ollama memory embeddings as key-optional so `openclaw doctor` no longer warns about a missing API key when the gateway reports embeddings are ready. Fixes #46584. Thanks @fengly78.
+- Agents/Ollama: apply provider-owned replay turn normalization to native Ollama chat so Cloud models no longer reject non-alternating replay history in agent/Gateway runs. Fixes #71697. Thanks @ismael-81.
+- Control UI/Ollama: show the resolved configured thinking default in chat and session thinking dropdowns so inherited `adaptive`/per-model thinking config no longer appears as `Default (off)` or a generic inherit value. Fixes #72407. Thanks @NotecAG.
+- Agents/Ollama: validate explicit `--thinking max` against catalog-discovered Ollama reasoning metadata so local agent runs accept the same native thinking levels shown in the model catalog. Fixes #71584. Thanks @g0st1n.
+- CLI/models: include explicitly configured provider models in `openclaw models list --provider <id>` without requiring the full catalog path, so configured Ollama models are visible. Fixes #65207. Thanks @drzeast-png.
+- Docker/QA: add observability coverage to the normal Docker aggregate so QA-lab OTEL and Prometheus diagnostics run inside Docker. Thanks @vincentkoc.
+- Auto-reply: poison inbound message dedupe after replay-unsafe provider/runtime failures so retries stay safe before visible progress but cannot duplicate messages after block output, tool side effects, or session progress. Fixes #69303; keeps #58549 and #64606 as duplicate validation. Thanks @martingarramon, @NikolaFC, and @zeroth-blip.
+- Agents/model fallback: keep auto-persisted fallback model overrides selected across turns until `/new` or reset clears them, avoiding repeated probes of a known-bad primary while `/status` shows the selected and active models. Thanks @kibedu.
+- Agents/model fallback: jump directly to a known later live-session model redirect instead of walking unrelated fallback candidates, while preserving the already-landed live-session/fallback loop guard. Fixes #57471; related loop family already closed via #58496. Thanks @yuxiaoyang2007-prog.
+- Gateway/Bonjour: keep @homebridge/ciao cancellation handlers registered across advertiser restarts so late probing cancellations cannot crash Linux and other mDNS-churned gateways.
+- Plugins/startup: load the default `memory-core` slot during Gateway startup when permitted so active-memory recall can call `memory_search` and `memory_get` without requiring an explicit `plugins.slots.memory` entry, while preserving `plugins.slots.memory: "none"`.
+- Plugins/CLI: prefer native require for compiled bundled plugin JavaScript before jiti so read-only config, status, device, and node commands avoid unnecessary transform overhead on slow hosts. Fixes #62842. Thanks @Effet.
+- Plugins/compat: inventory doctor-side deprecation migrations separately from runtime plugin compatibility so release sweeps preserve needed repairs while enforcing dated removal windows. Thanks @vincentkoc.
+- Plugins/compat: add missing dated compatibility records for legacy extension-api, memory registration, provider hook/type aliases, runtime aliases, channel SDK helpers, and approval/test utility shims. Thanks @vincentkoc.
+- Plugins/CLI: refresh the persisted registry after managed plugin files are removed so ClawHub uninstall cannot leave stale `plugins list` entries.
+- Plugins/CLI: make plugin install and uninstall config writes conflict-aware, clear stale denylist entries on explicit reinstall/removal, and delete managed plugin files only after config/index commit succeeds.
+- Plugins: fail `plugins update` when tracked plugin or hook updates error, keep bundled runtime-dependency repair behind restrictive allowlists, and reject package installs with unloadable extension entries.
+- WebChat/Control UI: support non-video file attachments in chat uploads while preserving the existing image attachment path and MIME-sniff fallback for generic image uploads. (#70947) Thanks @IAMSamuelRodda.
+- Skills/memory: restore Chokidar v5 hot reloads by watching concrete skill and memory roots with filters, including SKILL.md removals and deleted skill folders without broad workspace recursion. Fixes #27404, #33585, and #41606. Thanks @shelvenzhou, @08820048, and @rocke2020.
+- Gateway/chat: keep duplicate attachment-backed `chat.send` retries with the same idempotency key on the documented in-flight path so aborts still target the real active run. Fixes #70139. Thanks @Feelw00.
+- Gateway/session rows: report the same config-resolved thinking default that runtime sessions use, including global and per-agent defaults, so Control UI and TUI default labels stay aligned. (#71779, #70981, #71033, #70302) Thanks @chen-zhang-cs-code, @SymbolStar, and @cholaolu-boop.
+- Plugins: share package entrypoint resolution between install and discovery, reject mismatched `runtimeExtensions`, and cache bundled runtime-dependency manifest reads during scans.
+- WhatsApp/Web: keep quiet but healthy linked-device sessions connected by basing the watchdog on WhatsApp Web transport activity, while retaining a longer app-silence cap so frame activity cannot mask a stuck session forever. Fixes #70678; carries forward the focused #71466 approach and keeps #63939 as related configurable-timeout follow-up. Thanks @vincentkoc and @oromeis.
+- Discord/gateway: count failed health-monitor restart attempts toward cooldown and hourly caps, and evict stale account lifecycle state during channel reloads so repeated Discord gateway recovery cannot loop on old status. Fixes #38596. (#40413) Thanks @jellyAI-dev and @vashquez.
+- Cron/context engine: run isolated cron jobs under run-scoped context-engine session keys so prior runs of the same job are not inherited unless the job is explicitly session-bound. (#72292) Thanks @jalehman.
+- Control UI: localize command palette labels, categories, skill shortcuts, footer hints, and connect-command copy labels while preserving localized command palette search matching. (#61130, #61119) Thanks @rubensfox20.
+- Plugins/memory-lancedb: request float embedding responses from OpenAI-compatible servers so local providers that default SDK requests to base64 no longer return dimension-mismatched LanceDB vectors while preserving configured dimensions. Fixes #45982. (#59048, #46069, #45986) Thanks @deep-introspection, @xiaokhkh, @caicongyang, and @thiswind.
+- Plugins/memory-lancedb: advance auto-capture cursors per session only after messages are processed or intentionally skipped, retry failed messages, survive compacted histories, and clear cursor state on session end. Fixes #71349; carries forward #42083. Thanks @as775116191.
+- Plugins/memory-core: respect configured memory-search embedding concurrency during non-batch indexing so local Ollama embedding backends can serialize indexing instead of flooding the server. Fixes #66822. (#66931) Thanks @oliviareid-svg and @LyraInTheFlesh.
+- Docker/update smoke: keep the package-derived update-channel fixture on package-shipped files and make its UI build stub create the asset the updater verifies. Thanks @vincentkoc.
+- Gateway/models: repair legacy `models.providers.*.api = "openai"` config values to `openai-completions`, and skip providers with future stale API enum values during startup instead of bricking the gateway. Fixes #72477. (#72542) Thanks @JooyoungChoi14 and @obviyus.
+- Gateway/skills: redact `apiKey` and secret-named `env` values from the `skills.update` RPC response to prevent leaking credentials into WebSocket traffic, client logs, or session transcripts. Config is still written to disk in full; only the response payload is redacted. (#69998) Thanks @Ziy1-Tan.

 - Onboarding/models: keep skip-auth and provider-scoped model picker prompts off the full global model catalog path, and cache provider catalog hook resolution so setup no longer stalls after auth on large plugin registries. Thanks @shakkernerd.
 - Gateway/Bonjour: suppress known @homebridge/ciao cancellation and network assertion failures through scoped process handlers so malformed mDNS packets or restricted VPS networking disable/restart Bonjour instead of crashing the gateway. Fixes #67578. Thanks @zenassist26-create.
 - Discord: keep late clicks on already-resolved exec approval buttons quiet when elevated mode auto-resolved the request, while still surfacing real approval submission failures. Fixes #66906. Thanks @rlerikse.
+- Telegram: send a fresh final message for long-lived preview-streamed replies so the visible Telegram timestamp reflects completion time instead of the preview creation time. Thanks @rubencu.

+- Followups/Typing indicator: ensure followup turns mark dispatch idle on every exit path (including `NO_REPLY`, empty payloads, and agent errors) so typing keepalive cleanup always runs and channel typing indicators do not get stuck after queued/silent followups. (#26881)
 - Voice-call/TTS tools: hide the `tts` tool when the message provider is `voice`, preventing voice-call runs from selecting self-playback TTS and falling into silent no-output loops. (#27025).
 - Agents/Tools: normalize non-standard plugin tool results that omit `content` so embedded runs no longer crash with `Cannot read properties of undefined (reading 'filter')` after tool completion (including `tesseramemo_query`). (#27007).
 - Agents/Tool-call dispatch: trim whitespace-padded tool names in both transcript repair and live streamed embedded-runner responses so exact-match tool lookup no longer fails with `Tool .. not found` for model outputs like `" read "`. (#27094) Thanks @openperf and @Sid-Qin.

+            <description><![CDATA[<h2>OpenClaw 2026.4.26</h2>
+<h3>Changes</h3>
+<ul>
+<li>Channels/QQBot: add full group chat support (history tracking, @-mention gating, activation modes, per-group config, FIFO message queue with deliver debounce), C2C <code>stream_messages</code> streaming with a <code>StreamingController</code> lifecycle manager, unified <code>sendMedia</code> with chunked upload for large files, and refactor the engine into pipeline stages, focused outbound submodules, builtin slash-command modules, and explicit DI ports via <code>createEngineAdapters()</code>. (#70624) Thanks @cxyhhhhh.</li>
+<li>Channels/Yuanbao: register the Tencent Yuanbao external channel plugin (<code>openclaw-plugin-yuanbao</code>) in the official channel catalog, contract suites, and community plugin docs, with a new <code>docs/channels/yuanbao.md</code> quick-start guide for WebSocket bot DMs and group chats. (#72756) Thanks @loongfay.</li>
+<li>Control UI/Talk: add a generic browser realtime transport contract, Google Live browser Talk sessions with constrained ephemeral tokens, and a Gateway relay for backend-only realtime voice plugins. Thanks @VACInc.</li>
+<li>CLI/models: route provider-filtered model listing through an explicit source plan so user config, installed manifest rows, Provider Index previews, and scoped runtime fallbacks keep a stable authority order without adding another catalog cache. Thanks @shakkernerd.</li>
+<li>Providers: add Cerebras as a bundled plugin with onboarding, static model catalog, docs, and manifest-owned endpoint metadata.</li>
+<li>Memory/OpenAI-compatible: add optional <code>memorySearch.inputType</code>, <code>queryInputType</code>, and <code>documentInputType</code> config for asymmetric embedding endpoints, including direct query embeddings and provider batch indexing. Carries forward #63313 and #60727. Thanks @HOYALIM and @prospect1314521.</li>
+<li>Ollama/memory: add model-specific retrieval query prefixes for <code>nomic-embed-text</code>, <code>qwen3-embedding</code>, and <code>mxbai-embed-large</code> memory-search queries while leaving document batches unchanged. Carries forward #45013. Thanks @laolin5564.</li>
+<li>Plugins/providers: move pre-runtime model-id normalization, endpoint host metadata, OpenAI-compatible request-family hints, model-catalog aliases/suppressions, OpenAI stale Spark suppression, and reusable startup metadata snapshots into plugin manifests so core no longer carries bundled-provider routing tables or repeated manifest rebuilds. Thanks @shakkernerd.</li>
+<li>Plugins/config: deprecate direct plugin config load/write helpers in favor of passed runtime snapshots plus transactional mutation helpers with explicit restart follow-up policy, scanner guardrails, runtime warnings, and revision-based cache invalidation.</li>
+<li>Plugins/install: allow <code>OPENCLAW_PLUGIN_STAGE_DIR</code> to contain layered runtime-dependency roots, resolving read-only preinstalled deps before installing missing deps into the final writable root. Fixes #72396. Thanks @liorb-mountapps.</li>
+<li>Control UI: add a raw config pending-changes diff panel that parses JSON5, redacts sensitive values until reveal, and avoids fake raw-edit callbacks when opening the panel. Refs #39831; supersedes #48621 and #46654. Thanks @JiajunBernoulli and @BunsDev.</li>
+<li>Control UI: polish the quick settings dashboard grid so common cards align across desktop, tablet, and mobile layouts without wasting horizontal space. Thanks @BunsDev.</li>
+<li>Matrix/E2EE: add <code>openclaw matrix encryption setup</code> to enable Matrix encryption, bootstrap recovery, and print verification status from one setup flow. Thanks @gumadeiras.</li>
+<li>Agents/compaction: add an opt-in <code>agents.defaults.compaction.maxActiveTranscriptBytes</code> preflight trigger that runs normal local compaction when the active JSONL grows too large, requiring transcript rotation so successful compaction moves future turns onto a smaller successor file instead of raw byte-splitting history. Thanks @vincentkoc.</li>
+<li>CLI/migration: add <code>openclaw migrate</code> with plan, dry-run, JSON, pre-migration backup, onboarding detection, archive-only reports, a Claude Code/Desktop importer, and a Hermes importer for configuration, memory/plugin hints, model providers, MCP servers, skills, commands, and supported credentials. Thanks @vincentkoc and @NousResearch.</li>
+</ul>
+<h3>Fixes</h3>
+<ul>
+<li>Agents/LSP: terminate bundled stdio LSP process trees during runtime disposal and Gateway shutdown, so nested children such as <code>tsserver</code> do not survive stop or restart. Fixes #72357. Thanks @ai-hpc and @bittoby.</li>
+<li>Gateway/device tokens: stop echoing rotated bearer tokens from shared/admin <code>device.token.rotate</code> responses while preserving the same-device token handoff needed by token-only clients before reconnect. (#66773) Thanks @MoerAI.</li>
+<li>Control UI/Talk: keep Google Live browser sessions on the WebSocket transport instead of falling back to WebRTC, validate browser Google Live WebSocket endpoints, cap Gateway relay sessions per browser connection, and remove stale browser-native voice buttons that did not use the configured Talk/TTS provider. Thanks @BunsDev.</li>
+<li>Gateway/startup: reuse config snapshot plugin manifests for startup auto-enable, config validation, and plugin bootstrap planning, including authored source config and disabled setup-probe handling, so restrictive allowlists avoid duplicate manifest/config passes during boot. Thanks @shakkernerd.</li>
+<li>Agents/subagents: enforce <code>subagents.allowAgents</code> for explicit same-agent <code>sessions_spawn(agentId=...)</code> calls instead of auto-allowing requester self-targets. Fixes #72827. Thanks @oiGaDio.</li>
+<li>ACP/sessions_spawn: let explicit <code>sessions_spawn(runtime="acp")</code> bootstrap turns run while <code>acp.dispatch.enabled=false</code> still blocks automatic ACP thread dispatch. Fixes #63591. Thanks @moeedahmed.</li>
+<li>CLI/update: install npm global updates into a verified temporary prefix before swapping the package tree into place, preventing mixed old/new installs and stale packaged files from breaking <code>openclaw update</code> verification. Thanks @shakkernerd.</li>
+<li>Gateway: skip CLI startup self-respawn for foreground gateway runs so low-memory Linux/Node 24 hosts start through the same path as direct <code>dist/index.js</code> without hanging before logs. Fixes #72720. Thanks @sign-2025.</li>
+<li>Google Meet: route local Chrome joins through OpenClaw browser control, grant Meet media permissions, pin local Chrome audio defaults to <code>BlackHole 2ch</code>, and use the configured OpenClaw browser profile so joined agents no longer show <code>Permission needed</code> or use raw/default Chrome state. Thanks @DougButdorf and @oromeis.</li>
+<li>Plugins/discovery: follow symlinked plugin directories in global and workspace plugin roots while keeping broken links ignored and existing package safety checks in place. Fixes #36754; carries forward #72695 and #63206. Thanks @Quackstro, @ming1523, and @xsfX20.</li>
+<li>Plugins/install: skip test files and directories during install security scans while still force-scanning declared runtime entrypoints, so packaged test mocks no longer block plugin installs. Fixes #66840; carries forward #67050. Thanks @saurabhjain1592 and @Magicray1217.</li>
+<li>Plugins/install: allow exact package-manager peer links back to the trusted OpenClaw host package during install security scans while continuing to block spoofed or nested escaping <code>node_modules</code> symlinks. Carries forward #70819. Thanks @fgabelmannjr.</li>
+<li>Plugins/install: resolve plugin install destinations from the active profile state dir across CLI, ClawHub, marketplace, local path, and channel setup installs, so <code>openclaw --profile <name> plugins install ...</code> no longer writes into the default profile. Fixes #69960; carries forward #69971. Thanks @FrancisLyman and @Sanjays2402.</li>
+<li>Plugins/registry: suppress duplicate-plugin startup warnings when a tracked npm-installed plugin intentionally overrides the bundled plugin with the same id. Carries forward #48673. Thanks @abdushsk.</li>
+<li>Plugins/startup: reuse canonical realpath lookups throughout each plugin discovery pass, including package and manifest boundary checks, so Windows npm-global startups no longer repeat expensive path resolution for the same plugin roots. Fixes #65733. Thanks @welfo-beo.</li>
+<li>Gateway/proxy: pass <code>ALL_PROXY</code> / <code>all_proxy</code> into the global Undici env-proxy dispatcher and provider proxy-fetch helper while keeping SSRF trusted-proxy auto-upgrade on <code>HTTP_PROXY</code> / <code>HTTPS_PROXY</code> only, so gateway/provider calls honor all-proxy setups without weakening guarded fetches. Fixes #43821; carries forward #43919. Thanks @RickyTong1.</li>
+<li>Reply/link understanding: keep media and link preprocessing on stable runtime entrypoints and continue with raw message content if optional enrichment fails, so URL-bearing messages are no longer dropped after stale runtime chunk upgrades. Fixes #68466. Thanks @songshikang0111.</li>
+<li>Discord: persist routed model-picker overrides when the hidden <code>/model</code> dispatch succeeds but the bound thread session store is still stale, including LM Studio suffixed model ids. Carries forward #61473. Thanks @Nanako0129.</li>
+<li>Nodes/CLI: add <code>openclaw nodes remove --node <id|name|ip></code> and <code>node.pair.remove</code> so stale gateway-owned node pairing records can be cleaned without hand-editing state files.</li>
+<li>Gateway: include the connecting client and fresh presence version in the initial <code>hello-ok</code> snapshot, so clients no longer need a follow-up event before seeing themselves online.</li>
+<li>Docker: install the CA certificate bundle in the slim runtime image so HTTPS calls from containerized gateways no longer fail TLS setup after the <code>bookworm-slim</code> base switch. Fixes #72787. Thanks @ryuhaneul.</li>
+<li>Providers/OpenRouter: remove retired Hunter Alpha and Healer Alpha static catalog rows and disable proxy reasoning injection for stale Hunter Alpha configs, so replies are not hidden when OpenRouter returns answer text in reasoning fields. Fixes #43942. Thanks @EvanDataForge.</li>
+<li>Providers/reasoning: let Groq and LM Studio declare provider-native reasoning effort values, so Qwen thinking models receive <code>none</code>/<code>default</code> or <code>off</code>/<code>on</code> instead of OpenAI-only <code>low</code>/<code>medium</code> values. Fixes #32638. Thanks @Aqu1bp, @mgoulart, @Norpps, and @BSTail.</li>
+<li>Local models: default custom providers with only <code>baseUrl</code> to the Chat Completions adapter and trust loopback model requests automatically, so local OpenAI-compatible proxies receive <code>/v1/chat/completions</code> without timing out. Fixes #40024. Thanks @parachuteshe.</li>
+<li>Channels/message tool: surface Discord, Slack, and Mattermost <code>user:</code>/<code>channel:</code> target syntax in the shared message target schema and Discord ambiguity errors, so DM sends by numeric id stop burning retries before finding <code>user:<id></code>. Fixes #72401. Thanks @garyd9, @hclsys, and @praveen9354.</li>
+<li>Agents/tools: scope tool-loop detection history to the active run when available, so scheduled heartbeat cycles no longer inherit stale repeated-call counts from previous runs. Fixes #40144. Thanks @mattbrown319.</li>
+<li>Agents/subagents: preserve requester delivery for completion announces across different channel accounts, keep same-channel thread completions routed to the child thread, and fail closed instead of guessing a child binding when requester conversation signal is missing. Thanks @sfuminya and @suyua9.</li>
+<li>Agents/status: persist the post-compaction token estimate from auto-compaction when providers omit usage metadata, so <code>/status</code> and session lists keep showing fresh context usage after compaction. Fixes #67667; carries forward #72822. Thanks @Jimmy-xuzimo and @skylight-9.</li>
+<li>Control UI: show loading, reload, and retry states when a lazy dashboard panel cannot load after an upgrade, so the Logs tab no longer appears blank on stale browser bundles. Fixes #72450. Thanks @sobergou.</li>
+<li>Gateway/plugins: start the Gateway in degraded mode when a single plugin entry has invalid schema config, and let <code>openclaw doctor --fix</code> quarantine that plugin config instead of crash-looping every channel. Fixes #62976 and #70371. Thanks @Doraemon-Claw and @pksidekyk.</li>
+<li>Agents/plugins: skip malformed plugin tools with missing schema objects and report plugin diagnostics, so one broken tool no longer crashes Anthropic agent runs. Fixes #69423. Thanks @jmnickels.</li>
+<li>Agents/reasoning: recover fully wrapped unclosed <code><think></code> replies that would otherwise sanitize to empty text while keeping strict stripping for closed reasoning blocks and unclosed tails after visible text. Fixes #37696; supersedes #51915. Thanks @druide67 and @okuyam2y.</li>
+<li>Control UI/Gateway: bind WebChat handshakes to their active socket and reject post-close server registrations, so aborted connects no longer leave zombie clients or misleading duplicate WebSocket connection logs. Fixes #72753. Thanks @LumenFromTheFuture.</li>
+<li>Agents/fallback: split ambiguous provider failures into <code>empty_response</code>, <code>no_error_details</code>, and <code>unclassified</code>, and add flat fallback-step fields to structured fallback logs so primary-model failures stay visible when later fallbacks also fail. Fixes #71922; refs #71744. Thanks @andyk-ms and @nikolaykazakovvs-ux.</li>
+<li>Plugins/Windows: normalize Windows absolute paths before handing bundled plugin modules to Jiti, so Feishu/Lark message sending no longer fails with unsupported <code>c:</code> ESM loader URLs. Fixes #72783. Thanks @jackychen-png.</li>
+<li>CLI/doctor: run bundled plugin runtime-dependency repairs through the async npm installer with spinner/line progress and heartbeat updates, so long <code>openclaw doctor --fix</code> installs no longer look hung in TTY or piped output. Fixes #72775. Thanks @dfpalhano.</li>
+<li>Feishu/Windows: normalize bundled channel sidecar loads before Jiti evaluates them, so Feishu outbound sends no longer fail with raw <code>C:</code> ESM loader errors on Windows. Fixes #72783. Thanks @jackychen-png.</li>
+<li>Agents/tools: ignore volatile <code>exec</code> runtime metadata when comparing tool-loop outcomes, so enabled loop detection can stop repeated identical shell-command results instead of resetting on duration, PID, session, or cwd changes. Fixes #34574; supersedes #41502. Thanks @gucasbrg and @Zcg2021.</li>
+<li>Agents/fallback: classify internal live-session model switch conflicts as unknown fallback failures instead of provider overloads, preventing local vLLM endpoints from receiving misleading overloaded cooldowns. Refs #63229. Thanks @clawdia-lobster.</li>
+<li>Discord: let thread sessions inherit the parent channel's session-level <code>/model</code> override as a model-only fallback without enabling parent transcript inheritance. Fixes #72755. Thanks @solavrc.</li>
+<li>Gateway/plugins: skip stale configured channels whose matching plugin is no longer discoverable, point cleanup at <code>openclaw doctor --fix</code>, and keep unrelated channel typos fatal so one missing channel plugin no longer crash-loops the Gateway. Fixes #53311. Thanks @futhgar.</li>
+<li>Control UI: keep session-specific assistant identity loads authoritative after WebSocket connect, so non-main agent chat sessions do not show the main agent name in the header after bootstrap refreshes. Fixes #72776. Thanks @rockytian-top.</li>
+<li>Agents/Qwen: preserve exact custom <code>modelstudio</code> provider configs with foreign <code>api</code> owners so explicit OpenAI-compatible Model Studio endpoints no longer get normalized into the bundled Qwen plugin path. Fixes #64483. Thanks @FiredMosquito831.</li>
+<li>MCP/bundle-mcp: normalize CLI-native <code>type: "http"</code> MCP server entries to OpenClaw <code>transport: "streamable-http"</code> on save, repair existing configs with doctor, and keep embedded Pi from falling back to legacy SSE GET-first startup for those servers. Fixes #72757. Thanks @Studioscale.</li>
+<li>OpenCode: expose Anthropic Opus/Sonnet 4.x thinking levels for proxied Claude models, so <code>/think xhigh</code>, <code>/think adaptive</code>, and <code>/think max</code> validate consistently with the direct Anthropic provider. Fixes #72729. Thanks @haishmg and @aaajiao.</li>
+<li>Media-understanding/audio: migrate deprecated <code>{input}</code> placeholders in legacy <code>audio.transcription.command</code> configs to <code>{{MediaPath}}</code>, so custom audio transcribers no longer receive the literal placeholder after doctor repair. Fixes #72760. Thanks @krisfanue3-hash.</li>
+<li>Ollama/WSL2: warn when GPU-backed WSL2 installs combine CUDA visibility with an autostarting <code>ollama.service</code> using <code>Restart=always</code>, and document the systemd, <code>.wslconfig</code>, and keep-alive mitigation for crash loops. Carries forward #61022; fixes #61185. Thanks @yhyatt.</li>
+<li>Ollama/onboarding: de-dupe suggested bare local models against installed <code>:latest</code> tags and skip redundant pulls, so setup shows the installed model once and no longer says it is downloading an already available model. Fixes #68952. Thanks @tleyden.</li>
+<li>Memory-core/doctor: keep <code>doctor.memory.status</code> on the cached path by default and only run live embedding pings for explicit deep probes, preventing slow local embedding backends from blocking Gateway status checks. Fixes #71568. Thanks @apex-system.</li>
+<li>Memory/QMD: group same-source collections into one QMD search invocation when the installed QMD supports multiple <code>-c</code> filters, while keeping older QMD builds on the per-collection fallback. Fixes #72484; supersedes #72485 and #69583. Thanks @BsnizND and @zeroaltitude.</li>
+<li>Memory/QMD: accept QMD status vector-count variants such as <code>Vectors = 42</code>, <code>Vectors:42</code>, and <code>Vectors: 42 embedded</code>, so <code>memory status --deep</code> no longer reports embeddings unavailable for healthy QMD wrappers. Fixes #63652; carries forward #63678. Thanks @apoapostolov and @WarrenJones.</li>
+<li>Memory/QMD: skip QMD vector status probes and embedding maintenance in lexical <code>searchMode: "search"</code>, so BM25-only QMD setups on ARM do not trigger llama.cpp/Vulkan builds during status checks or embed cycles. Fixes #59234 and #67113. Thanks @PrinceOfEgypt, @Vksh07, @Snipe76, @NomLom, @t4r3e2q1-commits, and @dmak.</li>
+<li>Memory/QMD: report the live watcher dirty state in memory status, so changed QMD-backed memory files show as dirty until the queued sync finishes. Fixes #60244. Thanks @xinzf.</li>
+<li>Compaction: skip oversized pre-compaction checkpoint snapshots and prune duplicate long user turns from compaction input and rotated successor transcripts, preventing retry storms from being preserved across checkpoint cycles. Fixes #72780. Thanks @SweetSophia.</li>
+<li>Control UI/Cron: render cron job prompts and run summaries as sanitized markdown in the dashboard, with full-width block content, safer link clicks, and no duplicate error text when a failed run has no summary. Supersedes #48504. Thanks @garethdaine.</li>
+<li>Control UI/Gateway: preserve WebChat client version labels across localhost, 127.0.0.1, and IPv6 loopback aliases on the same port, avoiding misleading <code>vcontrol-ui</code> connection logs while investigating duplicate-message reports. Refs #72753 and #72742. Thanks @LumenFromTheFuture and @allesgutefy.</li>
+<li>Agents/reasoning: treat orphan closing reasoning tags with following answer text as a privacy boundary across delivery, history, streaming, and Control UI sanitizers so malformed local-model output cannot leak chain-of-thought text. Fixes #67092. Thanks @AnildoSilva.</li>
+<li>Memory-core: run one-shot memory CLI commands through transient builtin and QMD managers so <code>memory index</code>, <code>memory status --index</code>, and <code>memory search</code> no longer start long-lived file watchers that can hit macOS <code>EMFILE</code> limits. Fixes #59101; carries forward #49851. Thanks @mbear469210-coder and @maoyuanxue.</li>
+<li>Agents/ACP: ship the Claude ACP adapter with OpenClaw and require Claude result messages before idle can complete a prompt, preventing parent agents from waking early on long-running <code>sessions_spawn(runtime: "acp", agentId: "claude")</code> children. Fixes #72080. Thanks @siavash-saki and @iannwu.</li>
+<li>CLI/tasks: route <code>tasks --json</code>, <code>tasks list --json</code>, and <code>tasks audit --json</code> through a lean JSON path so read-only task inspection no longer loads unrelated plugin/runtime command graphs. Fixes #66238. Thanks @ChuckChambers.</li>
+<li>Memory-core: re-resolve the active runtime config whenever <code>memory_search</code> or <code>memory_get</code> executes, so provider changes made by <code>config.patch</code> stop leaving stale embedding backends behind in existing tool instances. Fixes #61098. Thanks @BradGroux and @Linux2010.</li>
+<li>WebChat: keep bare <code>/new</code> and <code>/reset</code> startup instructions out of visible chat history while preserving <code>/reset <note></code> as user-visible transcript text. Fixes #72369. Thanks @collynes and @haishmg.</li>
+<li>Tasks/memory: checkpoint and truncate SQLite WAL sidecars on a timer and before close for task, Task Flow, proxy capture, and builtin memory databases, bounding long-running gateway <code>*.sqlite-wal</code> growth. Fixes #72774. Thanks @dfpalhano.</li>
+<li>CLI/doctor: remove dangling channel config, heartbeat targets, and channel model overrides when stale plugin repair removes a missing channel plugin, preventing Gateway boot loops after failed plugin reinstalls. Fixes #65293. Thanks @yidecode.</li>
+<li>Control UI/Gateway: cache, coalesce, stale-refresh, and invalidate effective tool inventory on channel registry changes while reusing the gateway-bound plugin registry and avoiding model/auth discovery, so chat runs no longer stall Control UI requests on repeated plugin/model setup. Fixes #72365; supersedes #72558. Thanks @Gabiii2398 and @1yihui.</li>
+<li>Channels/setup: treat bundled channel plugins as already bundled during <code>channels add</code> and onboarding, enabling them without writing redundant <code>plugins.load.paths</code> entries or path install records. Fixes #72740. Thanks @iCodePoet.</li>
+<li>WhatsApp: honor gateway <code>HTTPS_PROXY</code> / <code>HTTP_PROXY</code> env vars for QR-login WebSocket connections, while respecting <code>NO_PROXY</code>, so proxied networks no longer fall back to direct <code>mmg.whatsapp.net</code> connections that time out with 408. Fixes #72547; supersedes #72692. Thanks @mebusw and @SymbolStar.</li>
+<li>Bonjour: default mDNS advertisements to the system hostname when it is DNS-safe, avoiding <code>openclaw.local</code> probing conflicts and Gateway restart loops on hosts such as <code>Lobster</code> or <code>ubuntu</code>. Fixes #72355 and #72689; supersedes #72694. Thanks @mscheuerlein-bot, @gcusms, @moyuwuhen601, @pavan987, @zml-0912, @hhq365, and @SymbolStar.</li>
+<li>Agents/OpenAI-compatible: retry replay-safe empty <code>stop</code> turns once for <code>openai-completions</code> endpoints, so transient empty local backend responses no longer surface as “Agent couldn't generate a response” when a continuation succeeds, and restore <code>openclaw agent --model</code> for one-shot CLI runs. Fixes #72751. Thanks @moooV252.</li>
+<li>Git hooks: skip ignored staged paths when formatting and restaging pre-commit files, so merge commits no longer abort when <code>.gitignore</code> newly ignores staged merged content. Fixes #72744. Thanks @100yenadmin.</li>
+<li>Memory-core/dreaming: add a supported <code>dreaming.model</code> knob for Dream Diary narrative subagents, wired through phase config and the existing plugin subagent model-override trust gate. Refs #65963. Thanks @esqandil and @mjamiv.</li>
+<li>Agents/Anthropic: remove trailing assistant prefill payloads when extended thinking is enabled, so Opus 4.7/Sonnet 4.6 requests do not fail Anthropic's user-final-turn validation. Fixes #72739. Thanks @superandylin.</li>
+<li>Agents/vLLM/Qwen: add plugin-owned Qwen thinking controls for vLLM chat-template kwargs and DashScope-style top-level <code>enable_thinking</code> flags, including preserved thinking for agent loops. Fixes #72329. Thanks @stavrostzagadouris.</li>
+<li>Memory-core/dreaming: treat request-scoped narrative fallback as expected, skip session cleanup when no subagent run was created, and remove duplicate phase-level cleanup so fallback no longer emits warning noise. Fixes #67152. Thanks @jsompis.</li>
+<li>Agents/exec: apply configured <code>tools.exec.timeoutSec</code> to background, <code>yieldMs</code>, and node <code>system.run</code> commands when no per-call timeout is set, preventing auto-backgrounded and remote node commands from running indefinitely. Fixes #67600; supersedes #67603. Thanks @dlmpx and @kagura-agent.</li>
+<li>Config/doctor: stop masking unknown-key validation diagnostics such as <code>agents.defaults.llm</code>, and have <code>openclaw doctor --fix</code> remove the retired <code>agents.defaults.llm</code> timeout block. Thanks @aidiffuser.</li>
+<li>CLI/startup: keep the built pre-dispatch CLI graph free of package-level imports and extend packaged CLI smoke coverage to onboard and doctor help paths, preventing missing runtime dependencies such as tslog from killing onboarding before repair code can run. Fixes #63024. Thanks @hu19940121.</li>
+<li>CLI/plugins: preserve unversioned ClawHub install specs so <code>plugins update</code> can follow newer ClawHub releases instead of pinning to the initially resolved version. Fixes #63010; supersedes #58426. Thanks @kangsen1234 and @robinspt.</li>
+<li>Memory-core/subagents: tag plugin-created subagent sessions with their plugin owner so dreaming narrative cleanup can delete its own ephemeral sessions without granting broad admin session deletion. Fixes #72712. Thanks @BSG2000.</li>
+<li>Gateway/models: move local-provider pricing opt-outs, OpenRouter/LiteLLM aliases, and proxy passthrough pricing lookup into plugin manifest metadata so core no longer carries extension-specific pricing tables.</li>
+<li>CLI/update: honor <code>OPENCLAW_NO_AUTO_UPDATE=1</code> as a gateway startup kill-switch for configured background package auto-updates, so operators can hold a deliberate downgrade during incident recovery without editing config first. Fixes #72715. Thanks @Xivi08.</li>
+<li>Agents/Claude CLI: force live-session launches to include <code>--output-format stream-json</code> whenever OpenClaw adds <code>--input-format stream-json</code>, so new Claude CLI sessions no longer fail immediately while reusable sessions keep working. Fixes #72206. Thanks @kwangwonkoh and @Xivi08.</li>
+<li>CLI/plugins: accept ClawHub plugin API wildcard ranges such as <code>*</code> without rejecting compatible plugin installs, while still requiring a valid runtime API version. Fixes #56446; supersedes #56466. Thanks @darconada and @claygeo.</li>
+<li>CLI/plugins: add an explicit <code>npm:<package></code> install prefix that skips ClawHub lookup for known npm packages while keeping bare package specs ClawHub-first. Fixes #55805; supersedes #54377. Thanks @Zeoy2020 and @vagusX.</li>
+<li>CLI/plugins: let config-gated bundled plugins install without persisting invalid placeholder config entries, so install/uninstall sweeps can cover plugins such as memory-lancedb before the user configures credentials. Thanks @vincentkoc.</li>
+<li>CLI/plugins: reject malformed ClawHub plugin specs with trailing <code>@</code> before registry lookup, so empty-version typos report as invalid specs instead of package-not-found errors. Fixes #56579; supersedes #56582. Thanks @Kansodata.</li>
+<li>Agents/sessions: acquire the session write lock only after cold bootstrap, plugin, and tool setup so fallback runs are not blocked by stalled pre-model startup work.</li>
+<li>Browser/plugins: auto-start the bundled browser plugin when root <code>browser</code> config is present, including restrictive plugin allowlists, and ignore stale persisted plugin registries whose package paths no longer exist.</li>
+<li>Browser: circuit-break repeated managed Chrome launch failures per profile so browser requests stop spawning Chromium indefinitely when CDP cannot start. Fixes #64271. Thanks @TheophilusChinomona.</li>
+<li>Gateway/models: skip external OpenRouter and LiteLLM pricing refreshes for local/self-hosted model endpoints so startup does not wait on remote pricing catalogs for local-only Ollama, vLLM, and compatible providers.</li>
+<li>CLI/plugins: stop security-blocked plugin installs from retrying as hook packs, so normal plugin packages report the scanner failure without a misleading "not a valid hook pack" follow-up. Fixes #61175; supersedes #64102. Thanks @KonsultDigital and @ziyincody.</li>
+<li>Agents/Anthropic: strip stale trailing assistant prefill turns from outbound replay so context-engine short circuits cannot send unsupported assistant-prefill payloads to provider APIs. Fixes #72556. Thanks @Veda-openclaw.</li>
+<li>Agents/Google: strip stale trailing assistant/model prefill turns from Gemini outbound replay so Google Generative AI requests end with a user turn or function response. Follow-up to #72556. Thanks @Veda-openclaw.</li>
+<li>Control UI/Dreaming: require explicit confirmation before applying restart-impacting Dreaming mode changes, with restart warning copy and loading feedback. Fixes #63804. (#63807) Thanks @bbddbb1.</li>
+<li>CLI/agent: mark Gateway-to-embedded fallback runs with <code>meta.transport: "embedded"</code> and <code>meta.fallbackFrom: "gateway"</code> in JSON output, and make the terminal diagnostic explicit so scripts and operators can distinguish fallback runs from Gateway runs. Fixes #71416. Thanks @amknight.</li>
+<li>Agents/tools: normalize <code>null</code> or missing tool-call arguments to <code>{}</code> for parameterless object schemas before Pi validation, so empty-argument tools run instead of failing argument validation. Fixes #72587. Thanks @amknight.</li>
+<li>Agents/subagents: clear active embedded-run state before terminal lifecycle events so post-completion cleanup no longer treats finished child runs as still active and skips archive or announcement bookkeeping. (#70187) Thanks @amknight.</li>
+<li>CLI/update: keep the automatic post-update completion refresh on the core-command tree so it no longer stages bundled plugin runtime deps before the Gateway restart path, avoiding <code>.24</code> update hangs and 1006 disconnect cascades. Fixes #72665. Thanks @sakalaboator and @He-Pin.</li>
+<li>Control UI: make explicit Reload Config actions discard stale local config edits while passive refreshes and failed-save recovery keep pending drafts intact. Fixes #40352; carries forward #40443. Thanks @realmikechong-dotcom.</li>
+<li>Agents/Bedrock: stop heartbeat runs from persisting blank user transcript turns and repair existing blank user text messages before replay, preventing AWS Bedrock <code>ContentBlock</code> blank-text validation failures. Fixes #72640 and #72622. Thanks @goldzulu.</li>
+<li>Agents/LM Studio: promote standalone bracketed local-model tool requests into registered tool calls and hide unsupported bracket blocks from visible replies, so MemPalace MCP lookups do not print raw <code>[tool]</code> JSON scaffolding in chat. Fixes #66178. Thanks @detroit357.</li>
+<li>Local models: warn when an assistant reply looks like a tool call but the provider emitted plain text instead of a structured tool invocation, making fake/non-executed tool calls visible in logs. Fixes #51332. Thanks @emilclaw.</li>
+<li>Local models: accept persisted non-secret local auth markers for private-LAN custom OpenAI-compatible providers, so LAN Ollama configs no longer fail with missing auth when <code>ollama-local</code> is saved as the key. Fixes #49736. Thanks @charles-zh.</li>
+<li>TUI/local models: treat visible gateway client labels such as <code>openclaw-tui</code> as the current requester session for session-aware tools, so Ollama tool calls no longer fail by resolving the UI label as a session id. Fixes #66391. Thanks @kickingzebra.</li>
+<li>Local models: route self-hosted OpenAI-compatible model discovery through the guarded fetch path pinned to the configured host, covering vLLM and SGLang setup without reopening local/LAN SSRF probes. Supersedes #46359. Thanks @cdxiaodong.</li>
+<li>Local models: classify terminated, reset, closed, timeout, and aborted model-call failures and attach a process memory snapshot to the diagnostic event, making LM Studio/Ollama RAM-pressure failures easier to prove from stability bundles. Refs #65551. Thanks @BigWiLLi111.</li>
+<li>Local models: pass configured provider request timeouts through OpenAI SDK transports and the model idle watchdog so long-running local or custom OpenAI-compatible streams use one timeout knob instead of hitting the SDK's 10-minute default or the 120s idle default. Fixes #63663. Thanks @aidiffuser.</li>
+<li>LM Studio: trust configured LM Studio loopback, LAN, and tailnet endpoints for guarded model requests by default, preserving explicit private-network opt-outs. Refs #60994. Thanks @tnowakow.</li>
+<li>Docker/setup: route Docker onboarding defaults for host-side LM Studio and Ollama through <code>host.docker.internal</code> and add the Linux host-gateway mapping to the bundled Compose file, so containerized gateways can reach local providers without using container loopback. Fixes #68684; supersedes #68702. Thanks @safrano9999 and @skolez.</li>
+<li>Agents/LM Studio: strip prior-turn Gemma 4 reasoning from OpenAI-compatible replay while preserving active tool-call continuation reasoning. Fixes #68704. Thanks @chip-snomo and @Kailigithub.</li>
+<li>LM Studio: allow interactive onboarding to leave the API key blank for unauthenticated local servers, using local synthetic auth while clearing stale LM Studio auth profiles. Fixes #66937. Thanks @olamedia.</li>
+<li>Plugins/startup/registry: reuse a Gateway <code>PluginLookUpTable</code> and one manifest registry pass across startup plugin IDs, plugin loading, deferred channel reloads, model pricing, read-only channel defaults, capability/provider/media resolution, manifest contracts, extractors, web fallback discovery, owner maps, and cold provider-discovery caches, with new startup-trace timing/count metrics for installed-index, manifest, startup-plan, and owner-map work. Thanks @shakkernerd and @mcaxtr.</li>
+<li>Mattermost: keep direct-message replies top-level by suppressing reply roots for DM delivery while preserving channel and group thread roots, and derive inbound chat kind from the trusted channel lookup instead of the websocket event channel type. Carries forward #60115, #55186, #72305, and #72659; refs #59758, #59981, #59791, and #57565. Thanks @vincentkoc, @jwchmodx, and @hnykda.</li>
+<li>Docker: pre-create <code>/home/node/.openclaw</code> with node ownership and private permissions so first-run Docker Compose named volumes no longer fail startup with EACCES. (#48072, #63959; fixes #61279) Thanks @timoxue and @jeanibarz.</li>
+<li>CLI/Gateway: treat local restart probe policy closes for connect, exact <code>device required</code>, pairing, and auth failures as Gateway reachability proof without accepting empty, broad standalone token/password/scope/role, or pair-substring 1008 close reasons. Fixes #48771; carries forward #48801; related #63491. Thanks @MarsDoge and @genoooool.</li>
+<li>Feishu: send outgoing interactive reply payloads as native cards with clickable buttons while preserving text, media, and document-comment fallbacks. Fixes #13175 and #58298; carries forward #47891. Thanks @Horacehxw.</li>
+<li>Process/Windows: decode command stdout and stderr from raw bytes with console-codepage awareness, while preserving valid UTF-8 output and multibyte characters split across chunks. Fixes #50519. Thanks @iready, @kevinten10, @zhangyongjie1997, @knightplat-blip, @heiqishi666, and @slepybear.</li>
+<li>Bonjour/Windows: hide the bundled mDNS advertiser's Windows ARP shell probe so Gateway startup no longer flashes command-prompt windows. Fixes #70238. Thanks @alexandre-leng, @PratikRai0101, @infinitypacific, and @tomerpeled.</li>
+<li>Agents/bootstrap: dedupe hook-injected bootstrap context files by workspace-relative path and store normalized resolved paths so duplicate relative and absolute hook paths no longer depend on the process cwd. (#59344; fixes #59319; related #56721, #56725, and #57587) Thanks @koen666.</li>
+<li>Agents/bootstrap: refresh cached workspace bootstrap snapshots on long-lived main-session turns when <code>AGENTS.md</code>, <code>SOUL.md</code>, <code>MEMORY.md</code>, or <code>TOOLS.md</code> change on disk, while preserving unchanged snapshot identity through the workspace file cache. (#64871; related #43901, #26497, #28594, #30896) Thanks @aimqwest and @mikejuyoon.</li>
+<li>macOS Gateway: detect installed-but-unloaded LaunchAgent split-brain states during status, doctor, and restart, and re-bootstrap launchd supervision before falling back to unmanaged listener restarts. Fixes #67335, #53475, and #71060; refs #58890, #60885, and #70801. Thanks @ze1tgeist88, @dafacto, and @vishutdhar.</li>
+<li>Plugins/install: treat mirrored core logger dependencies as staged bundled runtime deps so packaged Gateway starts do not crash when the external plugin-runtime-deps root is missing <code>tslog</code>. Fixes #72228; supersedes #72493. Thanks @deepujain.</li>
+<li>Build/plugins: preserve active bundled runtime-dependency staging temp directories owned by live build processes so overlapping postbuild runs no longer delete each other's staged deps mid-prune. Supersedes #72220. Thanks @VACInc.</li>
+<li>Plugins/install: hide bundled runtime-dependency npm child windows on Windows across Gateway startup, postinstall, and packaged staging paths so Telegram/Anthropic dependency repair no longer flashes shell windows. Fixes #72315. Thanks @athuljayaram and @joshfeng.</li>
+<li>Agents/Windows: normalize lazy agent runtime imports before Node ESM loading so Windows drive-letter <code>subagent-registry</code> runtime paths no longer fail every agent task with <code>ERR_UNSUPPORTED_ESM_URL_SCHEME</code>. Fixes #72636; carries forward #72716. Thanks @Andyz-CData and @xialonglee.</li>
+<li>Plugins/Windows: normalize lazy plugin service override imports before Node ESM loading so drive-letter browser-control module paths no longer fail with <code>ERR_UNSUPPORTED_ESM_URL_SCHEME</code>. Fixes #72573; supersedes #72599 and #72582. Thanks @llzzww316, @feineryonah-byte, and @WuKongAI-CMU.</li>
+<li>Browser/plugins: load <code>playwright-core</code> through the browser runtime shim so packaged installs can run Playwright actions from staged plugin runtime deps after doctor/startup repair. Fixes #72168; supersedes #72238. Thanks @zdg1110 and @yetval.</li>
+<li>Plugins/install: stage bundled plugin runtime dependencies before Gateway startup, drain update restarts, and materialize plugin-owned root chunks in external mirrors so staged deps resolve under native ESM. Fixes #72058; supersedes #72084. Thanks @amnesia106 and @drvoss.</li>
+<li>TTS/SecretRef: resolve <code>messages.tts.providers.*.apiKey</code> from the active runtime snapshot so SecretRef-backed MiniMax and other TTS provider keys work in runtime reply/audio paths. Fixes #68690. Thanks @joshavant.</li>
+<li>Gateway/install: surface systemd user-bus recovery hints during Linux service activation and retry via the target user scope when <code>systemctl --user</code> reports no-medium bus failures, without letting stale <code>SUDO_USER</code> override <code>sudo -u</code> installs. Fixes #39673; refs #44417 and #63561. Thanks @Arbor4, @myrsu, @mssteuer, and @boyuaner.</li>
+<li>CLI/nodes: make unfiltered <code>openclaw nodes list</code> prefer the effective paired-node view used by <code>nodes status</code> while preserving pending rows, pairing-scope fallback, terminal-safe table rendering, and paired JSON metadata. Fixes #46871; carries forward #65772 through the ProjectClownfish #72619 repair. Thanks @skainguyen1412.</li>
+<li>CLI/startup: read generated startup metadata from the bundled <code>dist</code> layout before falling back to live help rendering, so root/browser help and channel-option bootstrap stay on the fast path. Thanks @vincentkoc.</li>
+<li>Feishu/Lark: stop treating broadcast-only <code>@all</code>/<code>@_all</code> messages as bot mentions while preserving direct bot mentions, including messages that also include <code>@all</code>. Fixes #37706. Thanks @JosepLee.</li>
+<li>CLI/help: treat positional <code>help</code> invocations like <code>openclaw channels help</code> as help paths for startup gating, avoiding model/auth warmup while preserving positional arguments such as <code>openclaw docs help</code>. Thanks @gumadeiras.</li>
+<li>Web search: route plugin-scoped web_search SecretRefs through the active runtime config snapshot so provider execution receives resolved credentials across app/runtime paths, including <code>plugins.entries.brave.config.webSearch.apiKey</code>. Fixes #68690. Thanks @VACInc.</li>
+<li>Voice Call: allow SecretRef-backed Twilio auth tokens and call-specific OpenAI/ElevenLabs TTS API keys through the plugin config surface. Fixes #68690. Thanks @joshavant.</li>
+<li>Google Meet/Voice Call: clean stale chrome-node realtime bridges before rejoining, expose bridge inspection, tolerate transient node input pull failures, default Chrome command-pair audio to 24 kHz PCM16 while preserving legacy 8 kHz G.711 mu-law pairs, handle Gemini Live interruptions/VAD and function-response names correctly, route stateful <code>google_meet</code> tools through the gateway runtime, support <code>realtime.agentId</code>, and send non-blocking consult continuations before long tool-backed answers finish. Fixes #72371, #72525, #72523, #72440, and #72425; (#72372, #72524, #72381, #72441, #72189, #72426) Thanks @BsnizND and @VACInc.</li>
+<li>Discord/media: keep incidental Markdown image badges in final replies as text unless a channel opts into Markdown-image media extraction, while preserving Telegram Markdown-image media replies and explicit <code>MEDIA:</code> attachments. Fixes #72642. Thanks @solavrc and @Bartok9.</li>
+<li>Matrix/E2EE: stabilize recovery and broken-device QA flows while avoiding Matrix device-cleanup sync races that could leave shutdown-time crypto work running. Thanks @gumadeiras.</li>
+<li>Cron: apply <code>cron.maxConcurrentRuns</code> to the nested isolated-agent lane, start isolated execution timeouts only after the runner enters that lane, keep legacy flat <code>jobs.json</code> rows loadable, invalidate stale pending runtime slots after schedule edits, and preserve due slots for formatting-only rewrites. Fixes #72707, #27996, #71607, and #41783; carries forward #71651. Thanks @kagura-agent, @xialonglee, @fagnersouza666, @ayanesakura, and @Hurray0.</li>
+<li>Cron/delivery: classify isolated successes, quiet <code>NO_REPLY</code> turns, model/provider failures, execution denials, <code>--no-deliver</code> traces, skipped-job alerts, and verified delivery outcomes correctly so cron history, retries, and failure counters reflect what actually happened. Fixes #72732, #50170, #43604, #68452, #60846, #72210, and #67172; follow-up to #54188; carries forward #43631, #68453, #72219, and #67186.

+<li>Cron/routing: preserve direct Telegram thread/account IDs, explicit Discord <code>user:</code>/<code>channel:</code> delivery targets, and <code>session:<id></code> failure-destination routing so reminders, cron announcements, and failure alerts keep the intended recipient kind across direct and group chats. Fixes #44270; refs #62777; carries forward #44325, #44351, #44412, #72657, #68535, and #62798.

+<li>Onboarding/GitHub Copilot: add manifest-owned <code>--github-copilot-token</code> support for non-interactive setup, including env fallback, tokenRef storage in ref mode, saved-profile reuse, and current Copilot default-model wiring. Refs #50002 and supersedes #50003. Thanks @scottgl9.</li>
+<li>Gateway/install: add a validated <code>--wrapper</code>/<code>OPENCLAW_WRAPPER</code> service install path that persists executable LaunchAgent/systemd wrappers across forced reinstalls, updates, and doctor repairs instead of falling back to raw node/bun <code>ProgramArguments</code>. Fixes #69400. (#72445) Thanks @willtmc.</li>
+<li>Plugins: fail plugin registration when loader-owned acceptance gates reject missing hook names or memory-only capability registration from non-memory plugins, surfacing the issue through plugin status and doctor instead of silently dropping the registration. Fixes #72459. Thanks @amknight.</li>
+<li>macOS Gateway: write launchd services with a state-dir <code>WorkingDirectory</code>, use a durable state-dir temp path instead of freezing macOS session <code>TMPDIR</code>, create that temp directory before bootstrap, and label abort-shaped launchd exits as <code>SIGABRT/abort</code> in status output. Fixes #53679 and #70223; refs #71848. Thanks @dlturock, @stammi922, and @palladius.</li>
+<li>Control UI/update: make <code>Update now</code> require a real gateway process replacement, report skipped/error update outcomes with stable reasons, and verify the running gateway version after restart so global installs cannot silently keep old code in memory. Fixes #62492; addresses #64892 and #63562. Thanks @IAMSamuelRodda.</li>
+<li>Exec approvals: accept runtime-owned <code>source: "allow-always"</code> and <code>commandText</code> allowlist metadata in gateway and node approval-set payloads so Control UI round-trips no longer fail with <code>unexpected property 'source'</code>. Fixes #60000; carries forward #60064. Thanks @sd1471123, @sharkqwy, and @luoyanglang.</li>
+<li>Exec/node: skip approval-plan preparation for full-trust <code>host=node</code> runs so interpreter and script commands no longer fail with <code>SYSTEM_RUN_DENIED: approval cannot safely bind</code> when effective policy is <code>security=full</code> and <code>ask=off</code>. Fixes #48457 and duplicate #69251. Thanks @ajtran303, @jaserNo1, @Blakeshannon, @lesliefag, and @AvIsBeastMC.</li>
+<li>Exec/node: synthesize a local approval plan when a paired node advertises <code>system.run</code> without <code>system.run.prepare</code>, unblocking approval-required <code>host=node</code> exec on current macOS companion nodes while preserving remote prepare for node hosts that support it. Fixes #37591 and duplicate #66839; carries forward #69725. Thanks @soloclz.</li>
+<li>Memory/QMD: prefer QMD's <code>--mask</code> collection pattern flag so root memory indexing stays scoped to <code>MEMORY.md</code> instead of widening to every markdown file in the workspace. Fixes #65480; supersedes #65481 and #66259. Thanks @ccage-simp, @Bortlesboat, @seank-com, and @crazyscience.</li>
+<li>Memory/doctor: treat the specific <code>gateway timeout after ...</code> gateway memory probe result as inconclusive instead of reporting embeddings not ready, while preserving warnings for explicit failures. Fixes #44426; carries forward #46576 with the Greptile review feedback applied. Thanks Cengiz (@ghost).</li>
+<li>Gateway/startup: defer QMD, core request handlers, setup wizard, CLI outbound senders, plugin HTTP routes, chat/session projection, node session runtime validation, embedded-run activity reads, MCP loopback server imports, channel runtime helpers, HTTP/canvas/plugin auth helpers, isolated cron imports, and hook dispatch parsing until their request or shutdown paths, while making plain <code>gateway status</code> use a parse-only config snapshot so no-plugin boots and status reads avoid broad runtime fanout. Thanks @vincentkoc.</li>
+<li>Lobster/Gateway: memoize repeated Ajv schema compilation before loading the embedded Lobster runtime so scheduled workflows and <code>llm.invoke</code> loops stop growing gateway heap on content-identical schemas. Fixes #71148. Thanks @cmi525, @vsolaz, and @vincentkoc.</li>
+<li>Codex harness: normalize cached input tokens before session/context accounting so prompt cache reads are not double-counted in <code>/status</code>, <code>session_status</code>, or persisted <code>sessionEntry.totalTokens</code>. Fixes #69298. Thanks @richardmqq.</li>
+<li>Hooks/session-memory: use the host local timezone for memory filenames, fallback timestamp slugs, and markdown headers instead of UTC dates. Fixes #46703. (#46721) Thanks @Astro-Han.</li>
+<li>Gateway health: preserve live runtime-backed channel/account state in <code>gateway.health</code> snapshots and cached refreshes while keeping raw probe payloads on sensitive/admin paths only. (#39921, #42586, #46527, #52770, #42543) Thanks @FAL1989, @rstar327, @0xble, and @ajayr.</li>
+<li>Feishu: extract quoted/replied interactive-card text across schema 1.0, schema 2.0, i18n, template-variable, and post-format fallback shapes without carrying broad generated/config churn from related parser experiments. (#38776, #60383, #42218, #45936) Thanks @lishuaigit, @lskun, @just2gooo, and @Br1an67.</li>
+<li>Telegram/agents: hide raw failed write/edit warning messages in Telegram when the assistant already explicitly acknowledges the failed action, while keeping warnings when the reply claims success or omits the failure; #39406 remains the broader configurable delivery-policy follow-up. Fixes #51065; covers #39631. Thanks @Bartok9 and @Bortlesboat.</li>
+<li>Exec approvals: accept a symlinked <code>OPENCLAW_HOME</code> as the trusted approvals root while still rejecting symlinked <code>.openclaw</code> path components below it. (#64663) Thanks @FunJim.</li>
+<li>Logging: add top-level <code>hostname</code>, flattened <code>message</code>, and available <code>agent_id</code>, <code>session_id</code>, and <code>channel</code> fields to file-log JSONL records for multi-agent filtering without removing existing structured log arguments. Fixes #51075. Thanks @stevengonsalvez.</li>
+<li>ACP: route server logs to stderr before Gateway config/bootstrap work so ACP stdout remains JSON-RPC only for IDE integrations. Fixes #49060. Thanks @Hollychou924.</li>
+<li>Logging: propagate internal request trace scopes through Gateway HTTP requests and WebSocket frames so file logs, diagnostic events, agent run traces, model-call traces, OTEL spans, and trusted provider <code>traceparent</code> headers share a correlatable <code>traceId</code> without logging raw request or model content. Fixes #40353. Thanks @liangruochong44-ui.</li>
+<li>Diagnostics/OTEL: capture privacy-safe model-call request payload bytes, streamed response bytes, first-response latency, and total duration in diagnostic events, plugin hooks, stability snapshots, and OTEL model-call spans/metrics without logging raw model content. Fixes #33832. Thanks @wwh830.</li>
+<li>Logging: write validated diagnostic trace context as top-level <code>traceId</code>, <code>spanId</code>, <code>parentSpanId</code>, and <code>traceFlags</code> fields in file-log JSONL records so traced requests and model calls are easier to correlate in log processors. Refs #40353. Thanks @liangruochong44-ui.</li>
+<li>Logging/sessions: apply configured redaction patterns to persisted session transcript text and accept escaped character classes in safe custom redaction regexes, so transcript JSONL no longer keeps matching sensitive text in the clear. Fixes #42982. Thanks @panpan0000.</li>
+<li>Agents/sessions: let <code>sessions_spawn runtime="subagent"</code> ignore ACP-only <code>streamTo</code> and <code>resumeSessionId</code> fields while keeping ACP passthrough and documenting <code>streamTo</code> as ACP-only. Fixes #43556 and #63120; covers #56326, #61724, #64714, and #67248; carries forward #68397, #65282, #58686, #56342, and #40102. Thanks @skernelx, @damselem, @Br1an67, @Mintalix, @IsaacAPerez, @vvitovec, @Sanjays2402, @shenkq97, and @1034378361.</li>
+<li>Providers/Ollama: honor <code>/api/show</code> capabilities, custom Modelfile <code>PARAMETER num_ctx</code>, configured provider/model context defaults, whitelisted native params such as <code>temperature</code>, <code>top_p</code>, and <code>think</code>, and native thinking effort levels so local models get accurate tools, context, and thinking behavior without forcing full-context VRAM use. Fixes #64710, duplicate #65343, #68344, #44550, #52206, #49684, #68662, #48010, #71584, and #44786; supersedes #69464; carries forward #44955. Thanks @yuan-b, @netherby, @xilopaint, @Diyforfun2026, @neeravmakwana, @taitruong, @armi0024, @LokiCode404, @zhouZcong, @dshenster-byte, @tangzhi, @pandego, @maweibin, @Adam-Researchh, @EmpireCreator, @g0st1n, and @voltwake.</li>
+<li>Image tool/media: honor <code>tools.media.image.timeoutSeconds</code> and matching per-model image timeouts in explicit image analysis, including the MiniMax VLM fallback path, so slow local vision models are not capped by hardcoded 30s/60s aborts. Fixes #67889; supersedes #67929. Thanks @AllenT22 and @alchip.</li>
+<li>Providers/Ollama: strip custom provider prefixes before native chat/embedding requests, skip ambient localhost discovery unless config/auth opts in, handle custom remote <code>api: "ollama"</code> providers, accept OpenAI SDK-style <code>baseURL</code>, scope synthetic local auth and embedding bearer headers to declared host boundaries, resolve custom-named local providers for subagents, add provider-scoped model request timeouts, preserve explicit input modalities, and document <code>params.keep_alive</code> plus local/LAN/cloud/multi-host/web-search/embedding/thinking setup recipes. Fixes #72353, #56939, #62533, #43945, #64541, #68796, and #39690; supersedes #57116, #62549, #69261, #69857, #65143, and #66511; refs #43945; carries forward #43224 and #39785. Thanks @maximus-dss, @hclsys, @IanxDev, @tsukhani, @issacthekaylon, @Julien-BKK, @Linux2010, @hyspacex, @maxramsay, @Meli73, @LittleJakub, @Juankcba, @uninhibite-scholar, @yfge, @Skrblik, and @Mriris.</li>
+<li>Providers/Ollama: move memory embeddings to <code>/api/embed</code> with batched <code>input</code>, route local web search through Ollama's signed daemon proxy while keeping cloud auth scoped, treat Ollama memory embeddings as key-optional in doctor, and keep model usage visible by estimating native transcript usage when <code>/api/chat</code> omits counters. Fixes #39983, #69132, and #46584; carries forward #39112. Thanks @sskkcc, @LiudengZhang, @yoon1012, @hyspacex, @fengly78, and @TylonHH.</li>
+<li>Agents/Ollama: parse stringified native tool-call arguments, retry native empty/thinking-only turns, accept already-prefixed LLM task model overrides, apply provider-owned replay normalization for Cloud models, validate explicit <code>--thinking max</code>, show resolved thinking defaults in Control UI, and include configured provider models in <code>models list --provider</code>. Fixes #69735, #50052, #71697, #71584, #72407, and #65207; supersedes #69910; carries forward #66552 and #61223. Thanks @rongshuzhao, @yfge, @L3G, @ralphy-maplebots, @Hollychou924, @ismael-81, @g0st1n, @NotecAG, and @drzeast-png.</li>
+<li>Providers/PDF/Ollama: add bounded network timeouts for Ollama model pulls and native Anthropic/Gemini PDF analysis requests so unresponsive provider endpoints no longer hang sessions indefinitely. Fixes #54142; supersedes #54144 and #54145. Thanks @jinduwang1001-max and @arkyu2077.</li>
+<li>Docker/QA: add observability coverage to the normal Docker aggregate so QA-lab OTEL and Prometheus diagnostics run inside Docker. Thanks @vincentkoc.</li>
+<li>Auto-reply: poison inbound message dedupe after replay-unsafe provider/runtime failures so retries stay safe before visible progress but cannot duplicate messages after block output, tool side effects, or session progress. Fixes #69303; keeps #58549 and #64606 as duplicate validation. Thanks @martingarramon, @NikolaFC, and @zeroth-blip.</li>
+<li>Agents/model fallback: keep auto-persisted fallback model overrides selected across turns until <code>/new</code> or reset clears them, avoiding repeated probes of a known-bad primary while <code>/status</code> shows the selected and active models. Thanks @kibedu.</li>
+<li>Agents/model fallback: jump directly to a known later live-session model redirect instead of walking unrelated fallback candidates, while preserving the already-landed live-session/fallback loop guard. Fixes #57471; related loop family already closed via #58496. Thanks @yuxiaoyang2007-prog.</li>
+<li>Gateway/Bonjour: keep @homebridge/ciao cancellation handlers registered across advertiser restarts so late probing cancellations cannot crash Linux and other mDNS-churned gateways.</li>
+<li>Plugins/startup: load the default <code>memory-core</code> slot during Gateway startup when permitted so active-memory recall can call <code>memory_search</code> and <code>memory_get</code> without requiring an explicit <code>plugins.slots.memory</code> entry, while preserving <code>plugins.slots.memory: "none"</code>.</li>
+<li>Plugins/CLI: prefer native require for compiled bundled plugin JavaScript before jiti so read-only config, status, device, and node commands avoid unnecessary transform overhead on slow hosts. Fixes #62842. Thanks @Effet.</li>
+<li>Plugins/compat/CLI: inventory doctor-side deprecation migrations separately from runtime plugin compatibility, add dated records for legacy extension-api, memory registration, provider hook/type aliases, runtime aliases, channel SDK helpers, and approval/test utility shims, refresh the persisted registry after managed plugin removals, make plugin install/uninstall writes conflict-aware, clear stale denylists, and fail tracked plugin/hook updates or unloadable package installs instead of leaving stale state. Thanks @vincentkoc.</li>
+<li>WebChat/Control UI: support non-video file attachments in chat uploads while preserving the existing image attachment path and MIME-sniff fallback for generic image uploads. (#70947) Thanks @IAMSamuelRodda.</li>
+<li>Skills/memory: restore Chokidar v5 hot reloads by watching concrete skill and memory roots with filters, including SKILL.md removals and deleted skill folders without broad workspace recursion. Fixes #27404, #33585, and #41606. Thanks @shelvenzhou, @08820048, and @rocke2020.</li>
+<li>Gateway/chat: keep duplicate attachment-backed <code>chat.send</code> retries with the same idempotency key on the documented in-flight path so aborts still target the real active run. Fixes #70139. Thanks @Feelw00.</li>
+<li>Gateway/session rows: report the same config-resolved thinking default that runtime sessions use, including global and per-agent defaults, so Control UI and TUI default labels stay aligned. (#71779, #70981, #71033, #70302) Thanks @chen-zhang-cs-code, @SymbolStar, and @cholaolu-boop.</li>
+<li>Plugins: share package entrypoint resolution between install and discovery, reject mismatched <code>runtimeExtensions</code>, and cache bundled runtime-dependency manifest reads during scans.</li>
+<li>WhatsApp/Web: keep quiet but healthy linked-device sessions connected by basing the watchdog on WhatsApp Web transport activity, while retaining a longer app-silence cap so frame activity cannot mask a stuck session forever. Fixes #70678; carries forward the focused #71466 approach and keeps #63939 as related configurable-timeout follow-up. Thanks @vincentkoc and @oromeis.</li>
+<li>Discord/gateway: count failed health-monitor restart attempts toward cooldown and hourly caps, and evict stale account lifecycle state during channel reloads so repeated Discord gateway recovery cannot loop on old status. Fixes #38596. (#40413) Thanks @jellyAI-dev and @vashquez.</li>
+<li>Cron/context engine: run isolated cron jobs under run-scoped context-engine session keys so prior runs of the same job are not inherited unless the job is explicitly session-bound. (#72292) Thanks @jalehman.</li>
+<li>Control UI: localize command palette labels, categories, skill shortcuts, footer hints, and connect-command copy labels while preserving localized command palette search matching. (#61130, #61119) Thanks @rubensfox20.</li>
+<li>Plugins/memory-lancedb: request float embedding responses from OpenAI-compatible servers so local providers that default SDK requests to base64 no longer return dimension-mismatched LanceDB vectors while preserving configured dimensions. Fixes #45982. (#59048, #46069, #45986) Thanks @deep-introspection, @xiaokhkh, @caicongyang, and @thiswind.</li>
+<li>Plugins/memory-lancedb: advance auto-capture cursors per session only after messages are processed or intentionally skipped, retry failed messages, survive compacted histories, and clear cursor state on session end. Fixes #71349; carries forward #42083. Thanks @as775116191.</li>
+<li>Plugins/memory-core: respect configured memory-search embedding concurrency during non-batch indexing so local Ollama embedding backends can serialize indexing instead of flooding the server. Fixes #66822. (#66931) Thanks @oliviareid-svg and @LyraInTheFlesh.</li>
+<li>Docker/update smoke: keep the package-derived update-channel fixture on package-shipped files and make its UI build stub create the asset the updater verifies. Thanks @vincentkoc.</li>
+<li>Gateway/models: repair legacy <code>models.providers.*.api = "openai"</code> config values to <code>openai-completions</code>, and skip providers with future stale API enum values during startup instead of bricking the gateway. Fixes #72477. (#72542) Thanks @JooyoungChoi14 and @obviyus.</li>
+<li>Gateway/skills: redact <code>apiKey</code> and secret-named <code>env</code> values from the <code>skills.update</code> RPC response to prevent leaking credentials into WebSocket traffic, client logs, or session transcripts. Config is still written to disk in full; only the response payload is redacted. (#69998) Thanks @Ziy1-Tan.</li>
+<li>Plugins/CLI: let flag-driven <code>openclaw channels add</code> install the selected channel plugin from its default source without opening an interactive prompt, fixing published npm Telegram setup in stdin-closed automation.</li>
+<li>Onboarding/setup: keep first-run config reads, plugin compatibility notices, OpenAI Codex auth, post-auth default-model policy lookup, skip-auth, provider-scoped model pickers, and post-model sanity checks on cold manifest/setup metadata unless the user chooses to browse all models, avoiding full plugin/provider runtime loads between prompts. Thanks @shakkernerd.</li>
+<li>Gateway/Bonjour: suppress known @homebridge/ciao cancellation and network assertion failures through scoped process handlers so malformed mDNS packets or restricted VPS networking disable/restart Bonjour instead of crashing the gateway. Fixes #67578. Thanks @zenassist26-create.</li>
+<li>Discord: keep late clicks on already-resolved exec approval buttons quiet when elevated mode auto-resolved the request, while still surfacing real approval submission failures. Fixes #66906. Thanks @rlerikse.</li>
+<li>Telegram: send a fresh final message for long-lived preview-streamed replies so the visible Telegram timestamp reflects completion time instead of the preview creation time. Thanks @rubencu.</li>

+<li>Plugins/tokenjuice: bump the bundled tokenjuice runtime to 0.6.3. Thanks @vincentkoc.</li>
+<li>Diagnostics/OTEL: align model-call GenAI span attributes with OpenTelemetry stability opt-in semantics, keeping legacy <code>gen_ai.system</code> by default while emitting <code>gen_ai.provider.name</code> under <code>OTEL_SEMCONV_STABILITY_OPT_IN=gen_ai_latest_experimental</code>. Thanks @vincentkoc.</li>
+<li>Diagnostics/OTEL: support signal-specific OTLP endpoint overrides for traces, metrics, and logs via config or standard OTEL environment variables. Thanks @vincentkoc.</li>
+<li>Diagnostics/OTEL: emit bounded telemetry exporter health diagnostics for startup and log-export failures without exporting raw error text. Thanks @vincentkoc.</li>
+<li>Diagnostics/OTEL: export agent harness lifecycle telemetry as bounded <code>openclaw.harness.run</code> spans and <code>openclaw.harness.duration_ms</code> metrics so QA-lab, Codex, and future harnesses share one trace shape. Thanks @vincentkoc.</li>
+<li>Diagnostics/trace: propagate W3C <code>traceparent</code> headers from trusted model-call trace context to provider transports while replacing caller-supplied traceparent values. Thanks @vincentkoc.</li>

+<li>Plugins/startup: move gateway startup plugin planning onto the versioned cold registry index, with postinstall repair for older registry files that predate startup metadata. Thanks @vincentkoc.</li>
+<li>Plugins/startup: normalize startup and provider plugin enablement through registry aliases so boot paths do not need the legacy manifest alias scan. Thanks @vincentkoc.</li>
+<li>Providers/plugins: resolve provider ownership, provider discovery scopes, and catalog-hook provider ids from the cold plugin registry instead of rescanning manifests on those paths. Thanks @vincentkoc.</li>
+<li>Plugins/registry: keep installed plugin index records focused on install/state/load paths and resolve plugin capabilities from manifests scoped to indexed plugins. Thanks @shakkernerd.</li>
+<li>Plugins/registry: route cold manifest and capability lookups through the installed plugin index so setup, channels, config, secrets, doctor, and provider metadata paths avoid broad plugin-root scans before runtime execution. Thanks @shakkernerd.</li>
+<li>CLI/models: speed up <code>models list --all --provider <id></code> for static manifest-backed providers by loading catalog rows through the installed plugin index instead of broad manifest scans or runtime suppression hooks. Thanks @shakkernerd.</li>
+<li>CLI/models: use OpenClaw Provider Index preview rows as the final cold fallback for installable providers, while keeping user config, installed manifests, and refreshed cache rows above provider-index metadata. Thanks @vincentkoc.</li>
+<li>Providers/plugins: keep onboarding and auth-choice setup lists on cold manifest/install metadata and add Provider Index install metadata for not-yet-installed provider plugins. Thanks @vincentkoc.</li>
+<li>Providers/plugins: keep provider setup guidance and configure auth imports on cold manifest metadata, with a regression guard against static provider-runtime imports on setup/configure list paths. Thanks @vincentkoc.</li>
+<li>CLI/capabilities: keep capability command registration from importing the models auth runtime until <code>model auth login</code> actually runs. Thanks @vincentkoc.</li>
+<li>CLI/configure: keep web-search configure prompts on cold plugin registry metadata until the user chooses managed search setup. Thanks @vincentkoc.</li>
+<li>Plugins/chat commands: refresh the persisted plugin registry after <code>/plugins enable</code> and <code>/plugins disable</code>, matching the CLI mutation path. Thanks @vincentkoc.</li>
+<li>Plugins/compat: mark <code>OPENCLAW_DISABLE_PERSISTED_PLUGIN_REGISTRY</code> as a deprecated break-glass switch and point operators at registry repair instead. Thanks @vincentkoc.</li>
+<li>Plugins/compat: expand the central compatibility registry with dated owners, replacements, and maximum three-month removal targets for legacy SDK, manifest, setup, registry-migration, and agent-runtime surfaces. Thanks @vincentkoc.</li>
+<li>Plugins/registry: ignore stale persisted registry reads when plugin policy no longer matches current config, and stamp generated registry files with a do-not-edit warning. Thanks @vincentkoc.</li>
+<li>Config/plugins: keep plugin command-alias validation on cold manifest metadata instead of importing the runtime alias resolver. Thanks @vincentkoc.</li>
+<li>Security/plugins: keep web-search credential presence checks on cold config, env, and manifest metadata instead of importing web-search provider runtime. Thanks @vincentkoc.</li>
+<li>Diagnostics/OTEL: surface provider request identifiers as bounded hashes on model-call diagnostics and span events, without exporting raw request IDs or metric labels. Thanks @Lidang-Jiang and @vincentkoc.</li>
+<li>Plugins/diagnostics: add metadata-only <code>model_call_started</code> and <code>model_call_ended</code> hooks for provider/model call telemetry without exposing prompts, responses, headers, request bodies, or raw provider request IDs. Thanks @vincentkoc.</li>
+<li>Diagnostics/OTEL: emit bounded context assembly diagnostics and export <code>openclaw.context.assembled</code> spans with prompt/history sizes but no prompt, history, response, or session-key content. Thanks @vincentkoc.</li>
+<li>Diagnostics/OTEL: export existing tool-loop diagnostics as <code>openclaw.tool.loop</code> counters and spans without loop messages, session identifiers, params, or tool output. Thanks @vincentkoc.</li>
+<li>Diagnostics/OTEL: export diagnostic memory samples and pressure as bounded memory histograms, counters, and pressure spans to help spot leak regressions without session or payload data. Thanks @vincentkoc.</li>
+<li>Diagnostics/OTEL: add the GenAI <code>gen_ai.client.token.usage</code> histogram for input/output model usage while keeping session identifiers and aggregate cache counters out of the semantic metric. Thanks @vincentkoc.</li>
+<li>Diagnostics/OTEL: add a bounded <code>openclaw.agent</code> label to OpenClaw token metrics so per-agent Grafana dashboards can group usage without exporting session identifiers. Thanks @oc-factus.</li>
+<li>Plugins/install: consolidate managed plugin install metadata into the state-managed plugin index at <code>plugins/installs.json</code>, replacing the temporary <code>plugins/installed-index.json</code> path and removing <code>plugins.installs</code> as an authored config surface. Thanks @vincentkoc and @shakkernerd.</li>
+<li>Diagnostics/OTEL: add the GenAI <code>gen_ai.client.operation.duration</code> histogram for model-call latency in seconds with bounded provider/model/API and error attributes. Thanks @vincentkoc.</li>

+<li>Diagnostics/OTEL: include bounded GenAI operation, provider, and request-model attributes on model-usage spans so token usage remains self-describing without diagnostic identifiers. Thanks @vincentkoc.</li>
+<li>Diagnostics/OTEL: keep model-usage span GenAI provider attributes aligned with the existing semantic-convention opt-in policy, using legacy <code>gen_ai.system</code> unless latest experimental GenAI conventions are enabled. Thanks @vincentkoc.</li>
+<li>Diagnostics/OTEL: keep <code>gen_ai.request.model</code> present on GenAI token usage metrics with a bounded <code>unknown</code> fallback when model usage events do not include a model. Thanks @vincentkoc.</li>
+<li>Docs/OTEL: document the GenAI token and model-call duration metrics, model-usage span attributes, and <code>OTEL_SEMCONV_STABILITY_OPT_IN=gen_ai_latest_experimental</code> provider-attribute behavior. Thanks @vincentkoc.</li>
+<li>Docs: refresh the MCP, model provider, doctor, troubleshooting, BlueBubbles, media generation, TTS, subagents, skills, cron/tasks, exec approvals, and voice-call guides with structured Steps, Tabs, and Accordion content.</li>
+<li>Diagnostics/trace: add an internal traceparent propagation helper that only formats trusted dispatcher metadata, keeping plugin-emitted diagnostic traces out of outbound propagation by default. Thanks @vincentkoc.</li>
+<li>Diagnostics/OTEL: add bounded outbound message delivery lifecycle diagnostics and export them as low-cardinality delivery spans/metrics without message body, recipient, room, or media-path data. (#71471) Thanks @vincentkoc and @jlapenna.</li>
+<li>Diagnostics/OTEL: emit bounded exec-process diagnostics and export them as <code>openclaw.exec</code> spans without exposing command text, working directories, or container identifiers. (#71451) Thanks @vincentkoc and @jlapenna.</li>
+<li>Diagnostics/OTEL: support <code>OPENCLAW_OTEL_PRELOADED=1</code> so the plugin can reuse an already-registered OpenTelemetry SDK while keeping OpenClaw diagnostic listeners wired. (#71450) Thanks @vincentkoc and @jlapenna.</li>
+<li>Providers/Xiaomi: add MiMo TTS as a bundled speech provider with MP3/WAV output and voice-note Opus transcoding. Fixes #52376. (#55614) Thanks @zoujiejun.</li>
+<li>Providers/ElevenLabs: include <code>eleven_v3</code> in the bundled TTS model catalog so model selection surfaces can offer ElevenLabs v3. (#68321) Thanks @itsuzef.</li>
+<li>Providers/Local CLI TTS: add a bundled local command speech provider with file/stdout input, voice-note Opus conversion, and telephony PCM output. (#56239) Thanks @solar2ain.</li>
+<li>Providers/Inworld: add Inworld as a bundled speech provider with streaming TTS synthesis, voice listing, voice-note output, and PCM telephony output. (#55972) Thanks @cshape.</li>
+<li>Providers/Volcengine: add Volcengine/BytePlus Seed Speech as a bundled TTS provider with API-key auth, native Ogg/Opus voice-note output, and MP3 audio-file output. (#55641) Thanks @xuruiray.</li>
+<li>Android/Talk Mode: expose Talk Mode in the Voice tab with runtime-owned voice capture modes and microphone foreground-service escalation. Thanks @alex-latitude.</li>
+<li>Providers/LiteLLM: register <code>litellm</code> as an image-generation provider so <code>image_generate model=litellm/...</code> calls and <code>agents.defaults.imageGenerationModel.fallbacks</code> entries resolve through the LiteLLM proxy. Thanks @zqchris.</li>
+<li>Providers/fal: add Seedance 2.0 reference-to-video models with multi-image, video, and audio reference input mapping plus model-specific capability limits for <code>video_generate</code>. Thanks @shivanker.</li>
+<li>Codex harness: require Codex app-server <code>0.125.0</code> or newer and cover native MCP <code>PreToolUse</code>, <code>PostToolUse</code>, and <code>PermissionRequest</code> payloads through the OpenClaw hook relay.</li>
+<li>Agents/Codex: teach prompts and <code>agents_list</code> to surface native Codex app-server availability so agents prefer <code>/codex ...</code> over Codex ACP unless ACP/acpx is explicit. Thanks @vincentkoc.</li>
+<li>ACPX/Droid: add Factory Droid to the live ACP bind Docker matrix, including <code>.factory</code> settings staging, <code>FACTORY_API_KEY</code> forwarding, and the single-agent <code>test:docker:live-acp-bind:droid</code> recipe.</li>
+<li>TTS/personas: add provider-aware TTS personas with deterministic provider binding merges, <code>/tts persona</code> controls, gateway/CLI persona state, Google Gemini <code>audio-profile-v1</code> prompt wrapping, and OpenAI instruction mapping. (#70748) Thanks @barronlroth.</li>
+<li>Voice Wake: add trigger-based routing so macOS voice wake phrases can select a configured agent or session target, with Gateway routing APIs and node update events. (#30354) Thanks @longbiaochen.</li>
+</ul>
+<h3>Fixes</h3>
+<ul>
+<li>Auto-reply: poison inbound message dedupe after replay-unsafe provider/runtime failures so retries stay safe before visible progress but cannot duplicate messages after block output, tool side effects, or session progress. Fixes #69303; keeps #58549 and #64606 as duplicate validation. Thanks @martingarramon, @NikolaFC, and @zeroth-blip.</li>
+<li>Logging/sessions: apply configured redaction patterns to persisted session transcript text and accept escaped character classes in safe custom redaction regexes, so transcript JSONL no longer keeps matching sensitive text in the clear. Fixes #42982. Thanks @panpan0000.</li>
+<li>Agents/OpenAI: keep Responses web search compatible with minimal thinking by raising <code>web_search</code> requests to the lowest supported reasoning effort instead of sending a rejected minimal payload.</li>
+<li>Agents/tools: honor the <code>bundle-mcp</code> allowlist token when deciding whether bundled MCP tools are available, so restricted tool policies can still enable bundled MCP without exposing unrelated tools.</li>
+<li>Agents/model fallback: jump directly to a known later live-session model redirect instead of walking unrelated fallback candidates, while preserving the already-landed live-session/fallback loop guard. Fixes #57471; related loop family already closed via #58496. Thanks @yuxiaoyang2007-prog.</li>
+<li>Skills/memory: restore Chokidar v5 hot reloads by watching concrete skill and memory roots with filters, including SKILL.md removals and deleted skill folders without broad workspace recursion. Fixes #27404, #33585, and #41606. Thanks @shelvenzhou, @08820048, and @rocke2020.</li>
+<li>Discord/gateway: count failed health-monitor restart attempts toward cooldown and hourly caps, and evict stale account lifecycle state during channel reloads so repeated Discord gateway recovery cannot loop on old status. Fixes #38596. (#40413) Thanks @jellyAI-dev and @vashquez.</li>
+<li>Plugins/CLI: let flag-driven <code>openclaw channels add</code> install the selected channel plugin from its default source without opening an interactive prompt, fixing published npm Telegram setup in stdin-closed automation.</li>
+<li>Plugins/startup: load the default <code>memory-core</code> slot during Gateway startup when permitted so active-memory recall can call <code>memory_search</code> and <code>memory_get</code> without requiring an explicit <code>plugins.slots.memory</code> entry, while preserving <code>plugins.slots.memory: "none"</code>.</li>
+<li>Plugins/install: materialize plugin-owned root chunks in external bundled-runtime mirrors so staged plugin dependencies resolve under native ESM in packaged installs. Fixes #72058; supersedes #72084. Thanks @amnesia106 and @drvoss.</li>
+<li>Plugins/CLI: prefer native require for compiled bundled plugin JavaScript before jiti so read-only config, status, device, and node commands avoid unnecessary transform overhead on slow hosts. Fixes #62842. Thanks @Effet.</li>
+<li>Plugins/compat: inventory doctor-side deprecation migrations separately from runtime plugin compatibility so release sweeps preserve needed repairs while enforcing dated removal windows. Thanks @vincentkoc.</li>
+<li>Plugins/compat: add missing dated compatibility records for legacy extension-api, memory registration, provider hook/type aliases, runtime aliases, channel SDK helpers, and approval/test utility shims. Thanks @vincentkoc.</li>
+<li>Plugins/CLI: refresh the persisted registry after managed plugin files are removed so ClawHub uninstall cannot leave stale <code>plugins list</code> entries.</li>
+<li>Plugins/CLI: make plugin install and uninstall config writes conflict-aware, clear stale denylist entries on explicit reinstall/removal, and delete managed plugin files only after config/index commit succeeds.</li>
+<li>Plugins: fail <code>plugins update</code> when tracked plugin or hook updates error, keep bundled runtime-dependency repair behind restrictive allowlists, and reject package installs with unloadable extension entries.</li>
+<li>Gateway/chat: keep duplicate attachment-backed <code>chat.send</code> retries with the same idempotency key on the documented in-flight path so aborts still target the real active run. Fixes #70139. Thanks @Feelw00.</li>
+<li>Plugins: share package entrypoint resolution between install and discovery, reject mismatched <code>runtimeExtensions</code>, and cache bundled runtime-dependency manifest reads during scans.</li>
+<li>WhatsApp/Web: keep quiet but healthy linked-device sessions connected by basing the watchdog on WhatsApp Web transport activity, while retaining a longer app-silence cap so frame activity cannot mask a stuck session forever. Fixes #70678; carries forward the focused #71466 approach and keeps #63939 as related configurable-timeout follow-up. Thanks @vincentkoc and @oromeis.</li>
+<li>Onboarding/setup: keep first-run config reads, plugin compatibility notices, and post-model sanity checks on cold metadata paths unless the user chooses to browse all models, avoiding full plugin/runtime catalog work between prompts. Thanks @shakkernerd.</li>
+<li>Onboarding/auth: run manifest-owned provider auth choices through scoped setup providers so selecting OpenAI Codex browser/device auth no longer loads every provider runtime before OAuth starts. Thanks @shakkernerd.</li>
+<li>Onboarding/auth: keep the post-auth default-model policy lookup on manifest/setup metadata so the next prompt appears without loading broad provider runtime. Thanks @shakkernerd.</li>
+<li>Onboarding/models: keep skip-auth and provider-scoped model picker prompts off the full global model catalog path, and cache provider catalog hook resolution so setup no longer stalls after auth on large plugin registries. Thanks @shakkernerd.</li>
+<li>Gateway/Bonjour: suppress known @homebridge/ciao cancellation and network assertion failures through scoped process handlers so malformed mDNS packets or restricted VPS networking disable/restart Bonjour instead of crashing the gateway. Fixes #67578. Thanks @zenassist26-create.</li>
+<li>Discord: keep late clicks on already-resolved exec approval buttons quiet when elevated mode auto-resolved the request, while still surfacing real approval submission failures. Fixes #66906. Thanks @rlerikse.</li>
+<li>Agents/subagents: deliver completed yielded-subagent results back to no-thread requester routes via direct fallback when the dormant parent announce turn produces no visible reply, and add QA-lab coverage for the regression. Thanks @vincentkoc.</li>
+<li>Gateway/Tailscale: let Tailscale-authenticated Control UI operator sessions with browser device identity skip the device-pairing round trip while still rejecting device-less and node-role connections. Refs #71986. Thanks @jokedul.</li>
+<li>Doctor: honor <code>OPENCLAW_SERVICE_REPAIR_POLICY=external</code> by reporting gateway service health while skipping service install/start/restart/bootstrap, supervisor rewrites, and legacy service cleanup for externally managed environments. Thanks @shakkernerd.</li>
+<li>CLI/update: run package post-update doctor with <code>--fix</code> so package updates repair config migrations before restart. Thanks @shakkernerd.</li>
+<li>CLI/update: retry failed npm global updates with <code>--omit=optional</code> and ignore the superseded first failure when the fallback succeeds. Thanks @shakkernerd.</li>
+<li>Plugins/uninstall: migrate and reset <code>plugins.slots.contextEngine</code> alongside memory slots when plugin ids change or selected plugins are removed. Thanks @shakkernerd.</li>
+<li>Agents/Discord: keep raw <code>Agent failed before reply</code> runner failures out of Discord group/channel chats and show detailed runner errors in direct chats only when <code>/verbose</code> is enabled.</li>
+<li>UI/Windows: quote resolved pnpm <code>.cmd</code> launcher paths before spawning UI install/build/test commands so Node installs under <code>C:\Program Files</code> no longer fail as <code>C:\Program</code>. Fixes #45275. Thanks @Kobevictor, @stoppieboy, and @iubns.</li>
+<li>Codex/agent: translate <code>--thinking minimal</code> to <code>low</code> for modern Codex models (gpt-5.5, gpt-5.4, gpt-5.4-mini, gpt-5.2) at request build time so the first turn is accepted instead of paying a wasted call + retry-with-low fallback. Older Codex models still receive <code>minimal</code> directly. Fixes #71946. Thanks @hclsys.</li>
+<li>Plugins/uninstall: remove tracked plugin files from their recorded managed extensions root even when the current state directory points somewhere else, so <code>openclaw plugins uninstall --force</code> does not leave the plugin discoverable. Thanks @shakkernerd.</li>
+<li>Agents/runtime: add <code>agentRuntime.id</code> as the canonical config key, migrate legacy runtime-policy configs with <code>openclaw doctor --fix</code>, route canonical Anthropic models through <code>claude-cli</code> without passing CLI backend aliases to embedded harness selection, and load CLI backend owner plugins before channel startup. Fixes #71957. Thanks @WolvenRA.</li>
+<li>CLI/update: guard Windows scheduled-task stops by state and timeout so auto-update restart cannot hang indefinitely on <code>schtasks /End</code> before stale-listener cleanup. Fixes #69970. Thanks @yangswld and @sherlock-huang.</li>
+<li>Windows install/Lobster: execute <code>pnpm.exe</code> directly when <code>npm_execpath</code> points at the native pnpm binary, add an installed-package fallback for the Lobster embedded runtime, and include the Lobster runner regression test in Windows CI. Fixes #69456. Thanks @igormf.</li>
+<li>Gateway/install: refresh loaded gateway service installs when the current service embeds stale gateway auth instead of returning already-installed, avoiding LaunchAgent token-mismatch loops after token rotation. Fixes #70752. Thanks @hyspacex.</li>
+<li>Update: ignore bundled plugin <code>.openclaw-install-stage</code> directories during global install verification and packaged dist pruning so leftover runtime-dep staging files do not turn successful updates into <code>unexpected packaged dist file</code> failures. Fixes #71752. Thanks @waynegault.</li>
+<li>CLI/update: fail package updates when post-update plugin sync fails and refresh legacy npm plugin install records before trusting unchanged artifacts, preventing successful updates from restarting with stale or failed plugin state. Thanks @vincentkoc and @shakkernerd.</li>
+<li>Release/update: reject pre-populated bundled plugin <code>.openclaw-install-stage</code> directories, including mixed-case path variants, before package inventory generation so release tarballs cannot ship poisoned runtime-dependency staging debris. Fixes #71752. Thanks @hclsys.</li>
+<li>Node runtime: keep node-host retry timers alive across Gateway restarts and exit on terminal credential pauses so supervised nodes do not become silent zombies. Fixes #69800. Thanks @meroli28.</li>
+<li>Gateway/plugins: stop persisted WhatsApp auth state from activating bundled channel runtime-dependency repair during startup when <code>channels.whatsapp</code> is absent, avoiding npm/git stalls on packaged Linux installs. Fixes #71994. Thanks @xiao398008.</li>
+<li>Gateway/device tokens: enforce caller-scope containment inside token rotation and revocation so pairing-only sessions cannot mutate higher-scope operator tokens. Fixes #71990. Thanks @coygeek.</li>
+<li>Plugins/channels: keep security checks, thread-binding placement, provider summaries, health formatting, and message action labels on read-only or already-loaded channel metadata instead of importing full channel runtime. Thanks @shakkernerd.</li>
+<li>Plugins/status: keep config-only channel labels and status security summaries from importing plugin runtime modules just to render metadata. Thanks @shakkernerd.</li>
+<li>Sessions/channels: stop group-session metadata from loading bundled channel runtime just to classify <code>#channel</code> subjects, using only already-loaded channel capabilities on that path. Thanks @shakkernerd.</li>
+<li>Plugins/channels: keep native command and native skill <code>auto</code> defaults on static channel metadata so config, audit, and command-list checks do not load channel runtime just to read those defaults. Thanks @shakkernerd.</li>
+<li>CLI/channels: keep channel remove selection and all-channel capabilities summaries on read-only plugin metadata, loading channel runtime only for the selected mutation path. Thanks @shakkernerd.</li>
+<li>CLI/models: keep Provider Index preview rows out of <code>models list --all --provider <id></code> when the owning provider plugin is disabled, preserving config authority for cold catalog fallbacks. Thanks @shakkernerd.</li>
+<li>CLI/model runs: keep <code>openclaw infer model run</code> on explicit OpenRouter models from loading the full provider catalog or inheriting chat-agent silent-reply policy, restoring non-empty one-shot probe output. Fixes #68791. Thanks @limpredator.</li>
+<li>Installer/macOS: rerun Homebrew install steps without the gum spinner when raw-mode ioctl failures occur, and avoid claiming <code>node@24</code> was installed when the Homebrew keg binary is missing. Fixes #70411. Thanks @1fanwang and @dad-io.</li>
+<li>Installer: load nvm before Node.js detection so <code>curl | bash</code> installs respect nvm-managed Node instead of stale system Node. Fixes #49556. Thanks @heavenlxj.</li>
+<li>Installer/Windows: route PowerShell install failures through a top-level handler so <code>iwr ... | iex</code> returns control to the current shell while direct script-file runs still exit non-zero. Fixes #38054. Thanks @PwrSrg.</li>
+<li>CLI/Volta: respawn raw <code>openclaw</code> CLI runs through the named <code>node</code> shim when the current Node executable resolves to <code>volta-shim</code>, avoiding direct shim execution failures in non-interactive shells. Fixes #68672. Thanks @sanchezm86.</li>
+<li>Installer: warn when multiple npm global roots contain OpenClaw installs, showing active Node/npm/openclaw plus each install path and version so stale version-manager installs are visible. Fixes #40839. Thanks @zhixianio.</li>
+<li>Cron/tasks: recover completed cron task ledger records from durable run logs and job state before marking them <code>lost</code>, reducing false <code>backing session missing</code> audit errors for isolated cron runs and keeping offline CLI audit from treating its empty local cron active-job set as authoritative. Fixes #71963.</li>
+<li>Docker: copy patched dependency files into runtime images so downstream <code>pnpm install</code> layers keep working. Fixes #69224. Thanks @gucasbrg.</li>
+<li>Package: include patched dependency files in the published npm package so downstream installs can resolve <code>patchedDependencies</code>. (#69224) Thanks @gucasbrg and @vincentkoc.</li>
+<li>Plugins/channels: treat malformed bundled channel plugin loaders that return <code>undefined</code> as unavailable instead of crashing config and help paths. Fixes #69044. Thanks @frankhli843 and @vincentkoc.</li>
+<li>Scripts/watch: show corrupted dependency package-config recovery guidance when <code>gateway:watch</code> fails during watcher startup, without double-logging unrelated import failures. (#58780) Thanks @roytong9 and @vincentkoc.</li>
+<li>Signal: read signal-cli RPC, health checks, and SSE events through Node's HTTP client so Node 24/25 fetch regressions do not break Signal sends or inbound events. Fixes #51716 and #53040. Thanks @Barukimang, @minupla, and @vincentkoc.</li>
+<li>Skills/Docker: run npm-backed skill dependency installs with an OpenClaw-managed user prefix so non-root Docker images do not write to <code>/usr/local</code>. Fixes #59601. Thanks @chanjarster and @vincentkoc.</li>
+<li>Agents/runtime: submit heartbeat, cron, and exec wakeups as transient runtime context instead of visible user prompts, keeping synthetic system work out of chat transcripts. Fixes #66496 and #66814. Thanks @jeades and @mandomaker.</li>
+<li>Telegram: include native quote excerpts automatically for threaded replies and reply tags when the original Telegram text is available, without adding another config knob. Fixes #6975. Thanks @rex05ai.</li>
+<li>Node/Linux: make <code>openclaw node install</code> enable and restart the <code>openclaw-node</code> systemd unit instead of the gateway unit on node-only VMs. Fixes #68287. Thanks @dlebee-agent.</li>
+<li>Browser/CDP: retry transient raw-CDP WebSocket handshake failures before any browser command is sent, and reconnect stale persistent Playwright CDP sessions for safe tab-list reads without replaying mutating browser actions. Fixes #67728.</li>
+<li>Gateway/Linux: retry <code>systemctl --user enable</code> after a second daemon reload when the freshly written gateway unit is not visible yet on migrated systemd installs. Fixes #65184. Thanks @liushuaiiu.</li>
+<li>Telegram: preserve exact selected quote text when sending native quote replies, and retry with legacy replies if Telegram rejects quote parameters. (#71952) Thanks @rubencu.</li>
+<li>Plugins/CLI: preserve manifest name, description, format, and source metadata in cold <code>openclaw plugins list</code> output without importing plugin runtime. Thanks @shakkernerd.</li>
+<li>Security/audit: read channel exposure and plugin allowlist ownership from read-only plugin index metadata so cold audits do not depend on loaded channel runtime. Thanks @shakkernerd.</li>
+<li>Plugins/chat: keep <code>/plugins list</code>, <code>/plugins enable</code>, and <code>/plugins disable</code> on the persisted plugin index path so chat plugin management does not load diagnostic/runtime plugin registries before execution. Thanks @shakkernerd.</li>
+<li>Plugins/doctor: read workspace plugin status and legacy web-search ownership through installed-index manifest metadata instead of broad manifest registry scans. Thanks @shakkernerd.</li>
+<li>CLI/agents: read channel provider status from read-only plugin index metadata for text <code>agents list</code> output instead of the loaded channel registry. Thanks @shakkernerd.</li>
+<li>Logging: redact configured secret patterns at console and file-log sink exits so credentials that reach the logger are masked before terminal display or JSONL persistence. Fixes #67953. Thanks @Ziy1-Tan.</li>
+<li>Gateway/services: refuse process and service mutations from an older OpenClaw binary when the config was last written by a newer version, preventing split-brain installs from stopping or rewriting newer gateway services. Fixes #57079.</li>
+<li>Gateway: reserve <code>/healthz</code> and <code>/readyz</code> ahead of plugin, canvas, and Control UI HTTP stages so liveness/readiness probes still answer when a later route handler stalls. Fixes #69674. Thanks @Xike-Creek.</li>
+<li>Logging: load <code>logging.file</code> and redaction settings directly from the active OpenClaw config path in bundled runtimes, so packaged gateways stop falling back to <code>/tmp/openclaw</code>. Fixes #59370, #67168, and #61295. Thanks @KeaneYan, @Pan9hu, and @zsjlovelike.</li>
+<li>Logging: rotate file logs at <code>logging.maxFileBytes</code>, keep bounded numbered archives, and make long-lived rolling loggers follow the current-day file instead of suppressing diagnostics or writing stale dated files. Fixes #58583 and #62381. Thanks @jpeghead and @zhaoleink.</li>
+<li>Agents/groups: treat clean empty assistant stops as silent <code>NO_REPLY</code> only for always-on groups where silent replies are allowed, while keeping direct and mention-gated sessions on the incomplete-turn retry path. Thanks @MagnaAI.</li>
+<li>macOS/Node: keep native remote app nodes from advertising <code>browser.proxy</code>, start browser-capable CLI node services through the restored <code>openclaw node start</code> command, and show an actionable browser-control error when the local control service is missing. Fixes #66637.</li>
+<li>Gateway/update: fail package updates when the restarted managed gateway reports the wrong version, including fallback restarts and JSON mode, avoiding false-success mixed-version restarts after macOS LaunchAgent updates. Fixes #71835. Thanks @abhinas90 and @jsompis.</li>
+<li>Gateway/update: warn before package updates and bundled plugin runtime-dependency repairs when the target volume appears low on disk space, without blocking installs on best-effort filesystem checks. Fixes #71835. Thanks @abhinas90 and @jsompis.</li>
+<li>Plugins/runtime deps: surface activated plugin load failures in health and fail package-update restart verification or doctor repair when bundled runtime deps still cannot load, avoiding false-success repairs. (#71883) Thanks @Solvely-Colin.</li>
+<li>Gateway/Linux: include fnm <code>aliases/default/bin</code> in generated service PATHs and let doctor accept either modern fnm aliases or the legacy <code>current/bin</code> symlink, avoiding false PATH repair prompts. Fixes #68169. Thanks @richard-scott.</li>
+<li>Installer/Linux: run apt installs with noninteractive dpkg and needrestart settings so fresh Ubuntu 24.04 <code>curl | bash</code> installs do not hang while installing Node.js, Git, or build tools. Fixes #41146. Thanks @iht76, @alexcarv318, @cs3gallery, @firofame, and @cgdusek.</li>
+<li>Providers/Bedrock: defer the AWS SDK import until Bedrock discovery actually runs so plugin registration and setup stay lightweight on cold start. Fixes #71690. Thanks @jarvis-ai-gregmoser.</li>
+<li>Installer/macOS: stop immediately when Homebrew <code>node@24</code> installation fails and avoid printing PATH advice for missing Homebrew Node installs. Fixes #70411. Thanks @1fanwang.</li>
+<li>WhatsApp: remove ack reactions after a visible reply when <code>messages.removeAckAfterReply</code> is enabled, matching other reaction-capable channels. Fixes #26183. Thanks @MrUnforsaken.</li>
+<li>Providers/Z.AI: map OpenClaw thinking controls to Z.AI's <code>thinking</code> payload and add opt-in preserved thinking replay via <code>params.preserveThinking</code>, so GLM 5.x can keep prior <code>reasoning_content</code> when requested. Fixes #58680. Thanks @xuanmingguo.</li>
+<li>Channels/status: keep read-only channel lists on manifest and package metadata by default, loading setup runtime only for explicit fallback callers. Thanks @shakkernerd.</li>
+<li>Plugins: scope setup and web-provider metadata manifest reads to explicit plugin ids when callers already know the owning plugin set. Thanks @vincentkoc.</li>
+<li>Plugins/onboarding: defer onboarding install-record index writes until the guarded config commit so setup failures cannot leave the plugin index ahead of <code>openclaw.json</code>. Thanks @shakkernerd.</li>
+<li>Plugins/registry: resolve web provider ownership from the installed plugin index instead of broad manifest scans on secret, tool, and pricing paths. Thanks @shakkernerd.</li>
+<li>Config/providers: accept <code>video</code> and <code>audio</code> in configured model <code>input</code> values and preserve them in provider catalog entries. Fixes #20721. Thanks @alvinttang.</li>
+<li>Models/auth: honor the parent <code>--agent</code> flag for auth write commands (<code>add</code>, <code>login</code>, <code>setup-token</code>, <code>paste-token</code>, and the GitHub Copilot shortcut) so OAuth/API-key/token results are written to the requested agent store instead of the default agent. Fixes #71864. (#71933) Thanks @balric-seo.</li>
+<li>TTS: strip model-emitted TTS directives from streamed block text before channel delivery, including directives split across adjacent blocks, while preserving the accumulated raw reply for final-mode synthesis. Fixes #38937.</li>
+<li>TTS: keep explicit <code>provider=...</code> directive keys scoped to that provider and warn on unsupported keys instead of letting another speech provider consume overlapping keys. Fixes #60131.</li>
+<li>TTS/Feishu: normalize final-mode streamed TTS-only audio before delivery so generated voice-note files use the same safe media path and native voice routing as normal final replies. Fixes #71920.</li>
+<li>Feishu: transcribe inbound voice-note audio with the shared media audio path before agent dispatch and keep raw Feishu <code>file_key</code> payloads out of message text. Fixes #67120 and #61876.</li>
+<li>Tasks: terminalize async Gateway agent task records from the Gateway run result while preserving aborted, failed, and cancelled outcomes instead of leaving completed runs stuck as active or lost. (#71905) Thanks @likewen-tech.</li>
+<li>WhatsApp: let authorized group voice-note transcripts satisfy mention gating before reply dispatch, while keeping unmentioned transcripts in pending group history. Fixes #44908.</li>
+<li>Media understanding: carry channel voice-note preflight state into attachment selection so WhatsApp, Feishu, Telegram, and Discord do not transcribe the same inbound audio twice. Fixes #70580.</li>
+<li>TTS/BlueBubbles: deliver compatible auto-TTS audio as iMessage voice memo bubbles instead of plain MP3/CAF file attachments. Fixes #16848.</li>
+<li>TTS: resolve voice-note and voice-memo routing from channel plugin capabilities instead of speech-core-owned channel id lists.</li>
+<li>ACP: send subagent and async-task completion wakes to external ACP harnesses as plain prompts instead of OpenClaw internal runtime-context envelopes, while keeping those envelopes out of ACP transcripts.</li>
+<li>TTS/status: show configured TTS model, voice, and sanitized custom endpoint in <code>/status</code>, preserve OpenAI-compatible TTS instructions on custom endpoints, and retry empty Microsoft/Edge TTS output once. Addresses #46602, #47232, and #43936. Thanks @leekuangtao, @Huntterxx, and @rex993.</li>
+<li>Agents/Gateway: steer agent-driven config edits and restarts through the owner-only <code>gateway</code> tool, document <code>config.schema.lookup</code> as the field-doc source, and warn against using <code>gateway stop && gateway start</code> as a restart substitute on macOS. Fixes #71929. Thanks @ygc3817922006-sketch.</li>
+<li>Media understanding/audio: inject a deterministic transcript placeholder for too-small voice notes so agents do not hallucinate transcription or provider failures. Fixes #48944. Thanks @eulicesl.</li>
+<li>Providers/vLLM: send Nemotron 3 chat-template kwargs when thinking is off and honor configured <code>params.chat_template_kwargs</code> for OpenAI-compatible completions, so vLLM/Nemotron replies stay visible instead of becoming thinking-only. Fixes #71891. Thanks @jmystaki-create and @dennis-lynch.</li>
+<li>Channels/replies: strip copied inbound metadata blocks from user-facing assistant replies and model replay history, so Discord/vLLM sessions do not leak <code>Conversation info</code> / <code>UNTRUSTED ... message body</code> envelopes after a model echoes them. Fixes #71847. Thanks @jmystaki-create.</li>
+<li>Subagents/memory: keep inter-session completion wakes out of memory and dreaming session exports, and strip internal runtime-context blocks from realtime Control UI chat events.</li>
+<li>Agents/Claude: treat zero-token empty <code>stop</code> turns as failed provider output, retry once, repair replay, and allow configured model fallback instead of preserving them as successful silent replies. Fixes #71880. Thanks @MagnaAI.</li>
+<li>Tasks: normalize task lifecycle timestamps at create, update, and restore time, and report retained lost tasks as audit warnings until their cleanup window expires. (#71871) Thanks @likewen-tech.</li>
+<li>Diagnostics/OTEL: treat normal early model stream cleanup as a completed model call instead of exporting a misleading <code>StreamAbandoned</code> error span. Thanks @vincentkoc.</li>
+<li>Gateway/pairing: stop corrupt or unreadable device/node pairing stores from being treated as empty state, preserving <code>paired.json</code> for repair instead of overwriting approved pairings. Fixes #71873. Thanks @iret77.</li>
+<li>ACP: keep <code>/acp</code> management commands, plus local <code>/status</code> and <code>/unfocus</code>, on the Gateway path inside ACP-bound threads so they are not consumed as ACP prompt text. Fixes #66298. Thanks @kindomLee.</li>
+<li>ACPX: stop probing ACP agents during normal Gateway startup; the embedded backend now registers without spawning Codex/ACP child processes unless <code>OPENCLAW_ACPX_RUNTIME_STARTUP_PROBE=1</code> is explicitly set.</li>
+<li>CLI/image edit: accept <code>--size</code>, <code>--aspect-ratio</code>, and <code>--resolution</code> on <code>openclaw infer image edit</code> and report all supported edit flags from <code>capability inspect image.edit</code>. Thanks @Pinghuachiu.</li>
+<li>ACP: wait for the configured runtime backend to become healthy before startup identity reconciliation, avoiding transient acpx warnings during Gateway boot. Fixes #40566.</li>
+<li>Channels/ACP bindings: time out configured binding readiness checks instead of letting Discord preflight hang forever when an ACP target never settles. Fixes #68776.</li>
+<li>Control UI: hide the chat loading skeleton during background history reloads when existing messages or active stream content are already visible, avoiding reload flashes on high-latency local gateways. Fixes #71844. Thanks @WolvenRA.</li>
+<li>Control UI: keep locally optimistic chat messages visible when a history reload temporarily returns empty, avoiding lost first-turn messages on high-latency gateways. Fixes #71878. Thanks @WolvenRA.</li>
+<li>Control UI: keep chat history limits based on visible messages after filtering heartbeat and control-only transcript rows, so recent hidden entries no longer make older visible replies disappear. Thanks @WolvenRA.</li>
+<li>Agents/images: scrub old <code>[media attached: ...]</code>, <code>[Image: source: ...]</code>, and <code>media://inbound/...</code> markers from pruned model replay context so stale media refs are not rehydrated as fresh prompt images. Fixes #71868. Thanks @jmeadlock.</li>
+<li>Docker/Bonjour: disable Bonjour/mDNS advertising by default for bundled Compose gateways on bridge networking, while keeping host/macvlan opt-in with <code>OPENCLAW_DISABLE_BONJOUR=0</code>. Fixes #71879. Thanks @gbballpack.</li>
+<li>CLI/status: label the OpenClaw Serve/Funnel setting as <code>Tailscale exposure</code> and show daemon state separately when available, so <code>gateway.tailscale.mode: "off"</code> no longer reads like the Tailscale daemon is stopped. Fixes #71790. Thanks @pesvobodak.</li>
+<li>Plugins/Bonjour: stop ciao mDNS watchdog failures from looping forever when the advertiser stays stuck in <code>probing</code> or <code>announcing</code>; Bonjour now disables itself for the current Gateway process after repeated failed restarts while the Gateway keeps running. Fixes #69011. Thanks @siddharthaagarwalofficial-ux, @FiredMosquito831, and @spikefcz.</li>
+<li>Gateway/Fly.io: seed Control UI allowed origins from the actual runtime bind and port so CLI-driven non-loopback starts do not crash before config exists. Fixes #71823.</li>
+<li>macOS/remote SSH: keep discovered gateway hosts in <code>gateway.remote.sshTarget</code> while pinning SSH transport URLs to the local loopback tunnel, so browser automation does not regress into blocked non-loopback <code>ws://</code> endpoints. Fixes #67336.</li>
+<li>Gateway/proxy: bootstrap env proxy dispatching from direct Gateway startup so provider and plugin network requests honor <code>HTTPS_PROXY</code>/<code>HTTP_PROXY</code> before the first embedded agent attempt runs. (#71833) Thanks @mjamiv.</li>
+<li>Plugins/runtime deps: verify clean npm installs actually place requested bundled runtime packages in the managed install root, reporting exact missing specs instead of a false successful repair. (#71883) Thanks @Solvely-Colin.</li>
+<li>Plugins/discovery: ignore stale <code>plugins.load.paths</code> aliases that point back at packaged bundled plugin directories and have doctor remove them, keeping bundled plugins on the runtime-deps staging path.</li>
+<li>Models/LM Studio: preserve <code>@iq*</code> quant suffixes in model refs and provider matching so <code>/model lmstudio/...@iq3_xxs</code> keeps the exact LM Studio variant. Fixes #71474. (#71486) Thanks @Bartok9, @XinwuC, and @Sanjays2402.</li>
+<li>Matrix/cron: preserve the live Matrix delivery target when creating implicit announce reminder jobs so mixed-case room IDs are not reconstructed from lowercased session keys. Fixes #71798.</li>
+<li>Feishu: accept Schema 2.0 card action callbacks that report <code>context.open_chat_id</code> instead of legacy <code>context.chat_id</code>, so button callbacks no longer drop as malformed. Fixes #71670. Thanks @eddy1068.</li>
+<li>Feishu: keep synthetic card-action and bot-menu ids out of platform reply targets, using the real card callback message id when Feishu provides one and plain-sending otherwise. Fixes #71673. Thanks @eddy1068.</li>
+<li>Plugins/QQ Bot: prefer an installed QQ Bot plugin that declares it replaces the bundled <code>qqbot</code> channel, preventing duplicate <code>qqbot_channel_api</code> and <code>qqbot_remind</code> tool registration noise. Fixes #63102.</li>
+<li>Browser automation: keep stable tab ids and labels attached when Chromium replaces the raw target after form submissions or other action-triggered navigations, and return the replacement <code>targetId</code> from <code>/act</code> when the match is provable. Fixes #46137.</li>
+<li>QQ Bot: make <code>qqbot_remind</code> schedule, list, and remove Gateway cron jobs directly for owner-authorized senders instead of returning <code>cronParams</code> and relying on a follow-up generic <code>cron</code> tool call. Fixes #70865. (#70937) Thanks @GaosCode.</li>
+<li>Agents/ACP: hide <code>sessions_spawn</code> ACP runtime options unless an ACP backend is loaded, and make <code>/acp doctor</code> call out <code>plugins.allow</code> blocking bundled <code>acpx</code>. Thanks @vincentkoc.</li>
+<li>Agents/Codex: keep ACP prompt/skill routing hidden unless an ACP runtime backend is available, and warn in doctor when enabled Codex plugin configs still route <code>openai-codex/*</code> models through PI. Thanks @vincentkoc.</li>
+<li>Media delivery: avoid sending generated image attachments twice when the assistant reply already includes explicit <code>MEDIA:</code> lines for the same turn, and reject unsafe remote <code>MEDIA:</code> URLs before delivery. Thanks @pashpashpash.</li>
+<li>Codex harness: ignore retryable app-server error notifications after Codex recovers, and preserve the real nested error message for terminal app-server failures instead of replacing it with a generic failure. Thanks @pashpashpash.</li>
+<li>Agents/Codex: prepare native Codex sub-agent session metadata without a nested Gateway session patch and add a focused Docker smoke for the app-server sub-agent path. Thanks @vincentkoc.</li>
+<li>Agents/subagents: keep queued subagent announces session-only when the requester has no external channel target, avoiding ambiguous multi-channel delivery failures. Fixes #59201. Thanks @larrylhollan.</li>
+<li>Image understanding: preserve configured provider-prefixed vision model metadata when callers request the model without the provider prefix, so custom image models keep their <code>input: ["text", "image"]</code> capability. Fixes #33185. Thanks @Kobe9312 and @vincentkoc.</li>
+<li>Plugins/install: restore the previous plugin index records if a concurrent config write conflict interrupts install, update, or uninstall metadata commits. Thanks @shakkernerd.</li>
+<li>Plugins/install: reject native plugin archives that do not include a valid <code>openclaw.plugin.json</code>, preventing manifestless archives from writing install records that later show missing-manifest diagnostics. Thanks @shakkernerd.</li>
+<li>Plugins/uninstall: remove tracked managed plugin install directories even when the persisted install path differs from the default id-derived target, while still refusing deletes outside the managed extensions root. Thanks @shakkernerd.</li>
+<li>Plugins/update: restore previous plugin index records if core update or channel setup hits a concurrent config write conflict after plugin metadata changes. Thanks @shakkernerd.</li>
+<li>Plugins/onboarding: defer channel/provider plugin install records until the owning config write commits, keeping setup failures from advancing the plugin index ahead of <code>openclaw.json</code>. Thanks @shakkernerd.</li>
+<li>Plugins/config: route configure and agent setup writes with pending plugin install records through the plugin index commit helper so provider onboarding metadata is not stripped by plain config writes. Thanks @shakkernerd.</li>
+<li>Plugins/channels: merge pending channel plugin install records with the existing plugin index before config writes, preserving unrelated tracked installs during channel setup, resolve, remove, and capability repair flows. Thanks @shakkernerd.</li>
+<li>Plugins/config: defer shipped <code>plugins.installs</code> index migration during config writes until the guarded config commit window and roll it back if the config write fails before commit. Thanks @shakkernerd.</li>
+<li>Sessions: keep embedded runtime context out of the visible user prompt by sending it as a hidden next-turn custom message, and teach doctor to repair affected 2026.4.24 transcripts with duplicated prompt-rewrite branches. Fixes #71761.</li>
+<li>Gateway/subagents: keep direct-loopback backend RPCs authenticated with the shared gateway token/password off stale CLI paired-device scope baselines, so internal calls no longer hit <code>scope-upgrade</code> pairing prompts while remote, browser, node, device-token, and explicit-device paths still require normal pairing approval. Fixes #63548.</li>
+<li>Providers/Azure OpenAI: give deployment-scoped image generation requests a longer 600s default timeout so slow <code>gpt-image-2</code> generations can complete without a per-call <code>timeoutMs</code>. Fixes #71705. Thanks @voytas75.</li>
+<li>Gateway/plugins: link source-checkout bundled runtime dependency caches instead of recursively copying <code>node_modules</code> on the gateway main thread, preventing local status, node, and skill probes from timing out during startup cache restores.</li>
+<li>Skills/remote nodes: only expose remote macOS skill bins for connected nodes, clear stale bin matches when node probes fail, and include probe command, timeout, bin count, and connection state in timeout logs.</li>
+<li>Skills/remote nodes: recognize <code>system.which</code> object-map responses when probing connected macOS nodes, so Linux gateways can expose macOS-only skills such as Apple Notes when the required binaries are installed remotely. Fixes #71877. Thanks @miguelarios.</li>
+<li>CLI/gateway: keep diagnostic probes from creating first-time read-only device pairings, while still reusing cached device tokens for detailed read probes. Fixes #71766. Thanks @SunboZ.</li>
+<li>CLI/plugins: keep <code>message</code> startup, <code>channels logs</code>, <code>agents delete</code>, and <code>agents set-identity</code> off broad plugin preloading; message delivery still loads plugins when the action actually runs.</li>
+<li>Image understanding: resolve configured image models such as local LM Studio vision entries before reporting <code>Unknown model</code> when the discovery registry has not registered that provider. Fixes #66486. Thanks @zhanggpcsu.</li>
+<li>QQ Bot: ignore self-echoed bot messages using the outbound ref-index marker, preventing mirrored replies from re-entering the agent loop while still allowing users to quote bot replies. Fixes #71912. Thanks @wangyc6003.</li>
+<li>Sessions: separate reset freshness from session-store <code>updatedAt</code>, so heartbeat, cron, exec, and gateway bookkeeping no longer prevent configured daily/idle resets from rolling long-running channel sessions. Fixes #68315, #63732, #63820, and #69083. Thanks @maxatv, @longhairedsi, @bradfreels, and @akessel56.</li>
+<li>Sessions: clear queued system-event notices during <code>/new</code>, <code>/reset</code>, gateway <code>sessions.reset</code>, and daily/idle rollover so stale background updates cannot leak into the first prompt of the fresh session. Fixes #66864. Thanks @opeyio, @Magicray1217, and @cedillarack.</li>
+<li>CLI/agents: keep <code>agents bind</code>, <code>agents unbind</code>, and <code>agents bindings</code> on setup-safe channel metadata paths so they do not preload bundled plugin runtimes or stage runtime dependencies. Fixes #71743.</li>
+<li>Plugins/registry: preserve explicit disabled plugin records during registry migration without persisting every unused bundled plugin discovered on disk. Thanks @shakkernerd.</li>
+<li>Windows/native: keep CLI startup and bundled provider plugin loading off Windows ESM raw-path failure paths, fixing native onboarding/install smoke on Node 24.</li>
+<li>Plugins/doctor: read bundled channel doctor capabilities through the same packaged plugin directory resolver used by plugin loading, so published installs keep Matrix DM allowlist repairs on <code>channels.matrix.dm.*</code> instead of writing invalid top-level <code>dmPolicy</code> keys. Fixes #71757.</li>
+<li>Plugins/Windows: keep bundled plugin Jiti loaders off the native import path on Windows so channel plugins such as Telegram no longer crash with <code>ERR_UNSUPPORTED_ESM_URL_SCHEME</code> on <code>C:\...</code> paths. Fixes #71749. Thanks @smeyer9.</li>
+<li>Providers/Ollama: use Ollama's current <code>/api/web_search</code> endpoint and honor <code>https://ollama.com</code> model-provider base URLs for Ollama Web Search. Fixes #71741. Thanks @madhvidua.</li>
+<li>Memory/Ollama: serialize Ollama memory embedding batches and add an inline batch timeout override, with longer defaults for local/self-hosted embedding providers.</li>
+<li>Sessions/usage: exclude compaction checkpoint transcript snapshots from usage totals and session discovery, while keeping old checkpoint files removable.</li>
+<li>CLI/agents: keep <code>openclaw agents list --json</code> on the config-only path by default, avoiding bundled plugin loading unless callers request <code>--bindings</code>. Fixes #71739. Thanks @kaloster.</li>
+<li>Plugins/install: force plugin dependency installs to stay project-local even when inherited npm config requests global installs, so successful installs still materialize the plugin's staged <code>node_modules</code>.</li>
+<li>Providers/Google: transcode Gemini TTS PCM to Opus for voice-note targets so WhatsApp and other native voice-note replies can play as voice messages.</li>
+<li>TTS/WhatsApp: mark non-Opus provider output as voice-note intent so channel delivery transcodes MP3/WebM replies to Ogg/Opus PTT audio.</li>
+<li>Plugins/runtime deps: reuse existing external bundled-plugin stage roots when mirrored plugin roots are inspected again, avoiding second-generation <code>openclaw-unknown-*</code> stages and repeated first-turn restaging. Fixes #71599.</li>
+<li>iOS/macOS Talk Mode: allow <code>talk.speechLocale</code> to set the speech recognition locale for non-English voice conversations. Fixes #44688.</li>
+<li>Plugins/providers: honor explicit plugin candidate lists instead of reading a persisted registry snapshot from local state, keeping candidate-scoped provider discovery hermetic.</li>
+<li>Plugins/doctor: keep bundled plugin runtime-dependency repairs inside the managed OpenClaw stage even when user npm prefix/global config points npm at <code>$HOME/node_modules</code>. Fixes #71730.</li>
+<li>ACP/sessions_spawn: reject normal OpenClaw config agent ids when callers explicitly request <code>runtime="acp"</code>, while allowing agents configured with <code>runtime.type="acp"</code> to resolve to their ACP harness id. Fixes #63914.</li>
+<li>ACP/sessions_spawn: apply <code>runTimeoutSeconds</code> to ACP child turns and dispatch those turns on the background subagent lane, so quota-stalled ACP harnesses do not occupy the main agent lane indefinitely. Fixes #68823.</li>
+<li>ACP/oneshot: reconcile runtime session identity before closing completed oneshot ACP runs, so finished <code>sessions.json</code> entries do not stay stuck with <code>acp.identity.state="pending"</code>.</li>
+<li>ACPX: bundle <code>acpx@0.6.1</code> so unsupported generic model overrides fail clearly instead of silently falling back to the target adapter default.</li>
+<li>ACP/models: document that non-Codex ACP model overrides require adapter support for ACP <code>models</code> plus <code>session/set_model</code>, so unsupported harnesses fail clearly instead of silently falling back to their defaults.</li>
+<li>Plugins/Voice Call: treat missing provider credentials as setup-incomplete during Gateway startup and log the missing keys as a warning instead of a runtime startup error, while keeping explicit command/tool errors when used.</li>
+<li>Android/Talk Mode: prevent duplicate TTS playback when fast or repeated final chat events arrive while Talk Mode is waiting for its own response. Fixes #46546.</li>
+<li>Tooling/check:changed: pass parent heavy-check lock markers to lint lanes so <code>pnpm check:changed</code> no longer waits on its own <code>lint:extensions</code> child.</li>
+<li>CLI/completion: dedupe provider auth flags before registering <code>openclaw onboard</code> options, so completion-cache refresh during update no longer fails when stale core fallback flags overlap plugin manifest flags. Fixes #71667.</li>
+<li>Diagnostics/trace: report live context usage from the current prompt snapshot instead of provider turn totals, avoiding false near-full context spikes on cached or tool-heavy runs.</li>
+<li>Providers/Google: honor <code>models.providers.google.request.allowPrivateNetwork</code> for Gemini TTS and telephony TTS, matching Google image generation and media understanding. (#71723) Thanks @ro-hansolo.</li>
+<li>Providers/MiniMax: register <code>minimax-portal</code> for music and video generation, preserving OAuth auth and regional MiniMax base URLs across the shared <code>music_generate</code> and <code>video_generate</code> tools. (#63241) Thanks @tars90percent.</li>
+<li>Providers/onboarding: keep Runway and Alibaba Model Studio out of the text-inference setup picker by scoping their video-generation auth choices to the media setup flow. (#65856) Thanks @Jah-yee.</li>
+<li>Plugins/Bonjour: stop the gateway from crash-looping on <code>CIAO PROBING CANCELLED</code> when the mDNS watchdog cancels a stuck probe. Restores the rejection-handler wiring dropped during the bonjour plugin migration and shares unhandled-rejection state across module instances so plugin-staged copies of <code>openclaw/plugin-sdk/runtime</code> register into the same handler set the host consults. Especially affects Docker on macOS, where mDNS probing reliably hits the watchdog. Thanks @troyhitch.</li>
+<li>Google Meet: report pinned Chrome nodes as offline or missing capabilities in setup/join diagnostics, keep inaccessible nodes out of auto-selection, and preflight local BlackHole/SoX requirements before agents try local Chrome.</li>
+<li>Providers/MiniMax: route <code>image-01</code> requests to the dedicated image generation endpoint while preserving CN endpoint selection. Fixes #61149. Thanks @mushuiyu886.</li>
+<li>Plugins/startup: remove ownerless bundled runtime-dependency install locks after a short grace window and include lock owner details when startup times out waiting for a plugin runtime-deps lock.</li>
+<li>Plugins/install: anchor bundled runtime-dependency npm installs with an OpenClaw-owned package manifest so Linux updates cannot accidentally write to a parent <code>$HOME/node_modules</code> tree. Fixes #71730.</li>
+<li>Plugins/install: pass onboarding plugin config into plugin index writes so local plugin installs outside default discovery roots keep their install records. Thanks @shakkernerd.</li>
+<li>Plugins/install: migrate shipped <code>plugins.installs</code> config records into the plugin index while stripping them from runtime config and future writes. Thanks @shakkernerd.</li>
+<li>Plugins/install: durably remove shipped <code>plugins.installs</code> from <code>openclaw.json</code> after its records are copied into the plugin index, while rolling back the index write if config cleanup fails. Thanks @shakkernerd.</li>
+<li>Plugins/install: keep migrated plugin install records in the plugin index even when the plugin manifest is missing or invalid, so update, uninstall, inspect, and audit can still recover broken installs. Thanks @shakkernerd.</li>
+<li>Plugins/security: keep plugin audit JSON check ids stable while reporting plugin index install-record findings with updated wording. Thanks @shakkernerd.</li>
+<li>CLI/config: reject direct <code>plugins.installs</code> edits with guidance to use <code>openclaw plugins install</code>, <code>openclaw plugins update</code>, or <code>openclaw plugins uninstall</code> instead. Thanks @shakkernerd.</li>
+<li>Live tests/voice: accept common STT variants for OpenClaw and ElevenLabs brand names so provider smoke tests fail on real regressions rather than equivalent transcripts.</li>
+<li>Agents/replies: forward sanitized underlying agent failure details on external channels instead of replacing unknown failures with a generic retry message.</li>
+<li>CLI/MCP: translate OpenClaw <code>mcp.servers.*.transport</code> entries into Claude/Gemini CLI <code>type</code> fields so streamable HTTP MCP servers load in CLI backend sessions. (#71724) Thanks @Blockchain-Oracle.</li>
+<li>Browser/CDP: honor configured remote and <code>attachOnly</code> CDP HTTP/WebSocket timeouts when opening tabs through raw CDP or <code>/json/new</code> fallback. (#54238) Thanks @FuncWei.</li>
+<li>WhatsApp/TTS: send visible text separately from PTT voice-note audio instead of relying on hidden voice-note captions. Fixes #51081.</li>
+<li>Browser/client: avoid telling agents to restart OpenClaw for dispatcher timeouts on external browser profiles such as <code>attachOnly</code>, remote CDP, and existing-session. (#40815) Thanks @0xsline.</li>
+<li>Agents/TTS: preserve <code>[[audio_as_voice]]</code> directives on trusted text tool-result <code>MEDIA:</code> payloads so generated audio still delivers as a voice note. (#46535) Thanks @azade-c.</li>
+<li>Agents/TTS: keep queued tool media when an assistant ends with <code>NO_REPLY</code> on non-block delivery paths, so media-only generated audio replies still send. (#60025) Thanks @bradlind1.</li>
+<li>Telegram/STT: frame inbound voice-note transcripts as machine-generated, untrusted text in agent context while preserving raw transcript mention detection. Closes #33360. Thanks @smartchainark.</li>
+<li>Subagents/browser: show an actionable <code>/tools</code> notice when browser automation is configured but filtered out by the active tool profile, and document that coding-profile agents should use <code>tools.alsoAllow: ["browser"]</code> rather than subagent allowlists alone.</li>
+<li>Control UI/Quick Settings: persist the assistant avatar override to browser local storage (mirroring the user avatar) so uploaded image data URLs no longer fail config validation with "Too big: expected string to have <=200 characters". Also lift the gateway-side <code>ui.assistant.avatar</code> length cap to match the user avatar size budget for non-UI clients writing the field directly. Thanks @BunsDev.</li>
+<li>Plugin SDK: share diagnostic event subscriptions across duplicate source/dist module graphs so legacy root SDK imports still receive runtime diagnostic events.</li>
+<li>Agents/Bedrock: prevent empty assistant stream-error turns from poisoning Converse replay by persisting, repairing, and replaying a non-empty fallback block. Fixes #71572. (#71627) Thanks @openperf.</li>
+<li>Agents/Anthropic/Bedrock: strip thinking blocks with missing, empty, or blank replay signatures before provider conversion, falling back to non-empty omitted-reasoning text when needed so corrupted signed-thinking history no longer poisons subsequent turns. Fixes #45010. (#70054) Thanks @castaples.</li>
+<li>Agents/Anthropic/Bedrock: preserve stripped thinking-only assistant replay turns with non-empty omitted-reasoning text so provider adapters keep strict user/assistant turn shape. Thanks @wujiaming88.</li>
+<li>ACP/Codex: pass <code>sessions_spawn(runtime="acp")</code> model and thinking overrides into Codex ACP startup, normalize <code>openai-codex/*</code> refs and slash reasoning suffixes, and recognize managed Codex ACP wrapper commands without blocking current <code>gpt-5.5</code> sessions. Fixes #40393. (#71643) Thanks @91wan.</li>
+<li>Browser/CDP: make readiness diagnostics use the same discovery-first fallback as reachability for bare <code>ws://</code> Browserless and Browserbase CDP URLs. Fixes #69532.</li>
+<li>Browser/CDP: explain that loopback Browserless or other externally managed CDP services need <code>attachOnly: true</code> and matching Browserless <code>EXTERNAL</code> endpoint when reporting local port ownership conflicts, and fall back to the configured bare WebSocket root when a discovered Browserless endpoint rejects CDP. Fixes #49815.</li>
+<li>Gateway/reload: preserve indefinite <code>gateway.reload.deferralTimeoutMs: 0</code> semantics for channel hot reload deferrals so active agent runs are not interrupted by a forced channel restart. (#71637) Thanks @Poo-Squirry.</li>
+<li>Agents/tool results: cap persisted Pi tool-result details and strip hidden diagnostics before provider conversion, preventing large debug payloads from bloating session transcripts. (#71637) Thanks @Poo-Squirry.</li>
+<li>ACP/OpenCode: update the bundled acpx runtime to 0.6.0 and cover the OpenCode ACP bind path in Docker live tests.</li>
+<li>Providers/OpenCode Go: add DeepSeek V4 Pro and DeepSeek V4 Flash to the Go catalog while the bundled Pi registry catches up. Fixes #71587.</li>
+<li>Providers/OpenCode Go: route DeepSeek V4 Pro/Flash through the OpenAI-compatible Go endpoint and suppress invalid <code>reasoning_effort: "off"</code> payloads, fixing tool-enabled requests for <code>opencode-go/deepseek-v4-flash</code>. Fixes #71683.</li>
+<li>Plugins/model defaults: run Skill Workshop review, Active Memory recall, and session-memory slug generation on the configured agent default model instead of the hardcoded OpenAI SDK fallback when hook context lacks model metadata. Fixes #71659.</li>
+<li>Providers/Venice: fill the required DeepSeek V4 <code>reasoning_content</code> placeholder for <code>venice/deepseek-v4-pro</code> and <code>venice/deepseek-v4-flash</code> replay turns without sending native DeepSeek <code>thinking</code> controls that Venice rejects. Fixes #71628.</li>
+<li>Browser/existing-session: support per-profile Chrome MCP command/args, map <code>cdpUrl</code> to <code>--browserUrl</code> or <code>--wsEndpoint</code>, and avoid combining endpoint flags with <code>--userDataDir</code>. Fixes #47879, #48037, and #62706. Thanks @puneet1409, @zhehao, and @madkow1001.</li>
+<li>Media/plugins: bound MIME sniffing and ZIP archive preflight before handing untrusted files to <code>file-type</code> or <code>jszip</code>, reducing parser CPU and memory exposure for attachments and ClawHub plugin archives. Thanks @vincentkoc.</li>
+<li>Memory-host SDK: use trusted env-proxy mode for remote embedding and batch HTTP calls only when Undici will proxy that target, preserving SSRF DNS pinning for <code>ALL_PROXY</code>-only and <code>NO_PROXY</code> bypass cases. Fixes #52162. (#71506) Thanks @DhtIsCoding.</li>
+<li>Gateway/dashboard: render Control UI and WebSocket links with <code>https://</code>/<code>wss://</code> when <code>gateway.tls.enabled=true</code>, including <code>openclaw gateway status</code>. Fixes #71494. (#71499) Thanks @deepkilo.</li>
+<li>Agents/OpenAI-compatible: default proxy/local completions tool requests to <code>tool_choice: "auto"</code> when tools are present, so providers enter native tool-calling mode instead of replying with plain-text tool directives. (#71472) Thanks @Speed-maker.</li>
+<li>OpenAI image generation: use <code>gpt-5.5</code> for the Codex OAuth responses transport instead of the retired <code>gpt-5.4</code> model, fixing 500s from ChatGPT Codex image generation. Fixes #71513. Thanks @baolongl.</li>
+<li>OpenAI image generation: route transparent-background default-model requests to <code>gpt-image-1.5</code>, document the expected <code>image_generate</code> call shape, and keep Azure/custom OpenAI-compatible deployment names untouched.</li>
+<li>Google video generation: download direct MLDev Veo <code>video.uri</code> results instead of passing them through the Files API path, fixing 404s after successful generation/polling. Fixes #71200. Thanks @panhaishan.</li>
+<li>Google video generation: fall back to the REST <code>predictLongRunning</code> Veo endpoint for text-only SDK 404s while keeping reference image/video generation on the SDK path. Fixes #62309 and #63008. (#62343) Thanks @leoleedev.</li>
+<li>MiniMax music generation: switch the bundled default model from the unsupported <code>music-2.5+</code> id to the current <code>music-2.6</code> API model. Fixes #64870 and addresses the music default from #62315. Thanks @noahclanman and @edwardzheng1.</li>
+<li>Cron: record jobs interrupted by a gateway restart as failed at their original <code>runningAtMs</code>, skip unsafe startup replay, and disable interrupted one-shot jobs so they show a visible failure instead of silently disappearing or duplicating work. Fixes #59056, #61343, #63657, and #59301. Thanks @ponchoooPenguin, @daemic24, @myradon, and @hikiwibot.</li>
+<li>Cron tool: recover flat top-level schedule shorthand such as <code>cron</code>, <code>tz</code>, and <code>staggerMs</code> before gateway validation, so model-generated cron add/update calls preserve cron jitter settings. Thanks @tyxben.</li>
+<li>Cron: hydrate flat legacy job rows with top-level <code>cron</code>, <code>tz</code>, <code>session</code>, and <code>message</code> fields into canonical schedule, target, and payload objects before startup recomputes run times. Fixes #43351.</li>
+<li>Agents/replies: let pending group chat history trigger bare mentioned turns without treating metadata-only inbound context as user input. Fixes #71489. (#71520) Thanks @SymbolStar.</li>
+<li>Google media generation: strip a configured trailing <code>/v1beta</code> from Google music/video provider base URLs before calling the Google GenAI SDK, preventing doubled <code>/v1beta/v1beta</code> paths. Fixes #63240. (#63258) Thanks @Hybirdss.</li>
+<li>Discord: restore direct-message voice-note preflight transcription and classify URL-only Ogg/Opus voice attachments as audio while skipping partial attachments without usable URLs. Fixes #61314 and #64803.</li>
+<li>Plugins/build: copy bundled plugin skill trees into <code>dist-runtime</code>, broaden Windows symlink-copy fallbacks, and fingerprint runtime dependencies from <code>lstat</code> so symlink-like directory entries cannot crash staging.</li>
+<li>Google Chat: preserve reply text when a typing indicator message is deleted or can no longer be updated, so media captions and first text chunks are resent instead of silently disappearing. (#71498) Thanks @colin-lgtm.</li>
+<li>Cron: tolerate malformed legacy job rows in startup, main-session system-event payloads, and human-readable <code>cron list</code> output so missing <code>state</code>, <code>payload.text</code>, or display fields no longer crash the scheduler or CLI. Fixes #66016, #65916, #64137, #57872, #59968, #63813, #52804, and #43163. (#71509) Thanks @vincentkoc.</li>
+<li>CLI/models: make <code>openclaw models scan</code> fall back to public OpenRouter free-model metadata when no <code>OPENROUTER_API_KEY</code> is configured, avoid config secret resolution for explicit <code>--no-probe</code> scans, and apply the scan timeout to the OpenRouter catalog request.</li>
+<li>Feishu: keep streaming cards to one live card per turn, flush throttled card edits after meaningful text boundaries, and skip exact block/partial repeats so tool-heavy replies do not duplicate card output. Thanks @allan0509.</li>
+<li>Feishu: finish the streaming-card duplicate closeout by stripping leaked reasoning tags, preserving cross-block partial snapshots, enabling topic-thread streaming cards, omitting the generic <code>main</code> card header, surfacing transient tool/compaction status, and cleaning streaming state after close failures. Thanks @sesame437, @Vicky-v7, @maoku-family, @Pengxiao-Wang, and @Maple778.</li>
+<li>Telegram: recover incomplete partial-stream previews by falling back to a final send when an ambiguous final edit failure would otherwise retain a strict prefix of the answer. Fixes #71525. (#71554) Thanks @sahilsatralkar.</li>
+<li>Control UI/chat: collapse assistant token/model context details behind an explicit Context disclosure and show full dates in message footers, making historical transcript timing clear without noisy default metadata. (#71337) Thanks @BunsDev.</li>
+<li>OpenAI/Codex OAuth: explain <code>unsupported_country_region_territory</code> token-exchange failures with a proxy/region hint instead of surfacing a generic OAuth error. Fixes #51175. (#71501) Thanks @vincentkoc and @wulala-xjj.</li>
+<li>Browser/Linux: fall back to headless mode for local managed profiles on hosts without a display server, while preserving explicit per-profile headed overrides and reporting the headless source. (#60953) Thanks @rrpsantos.</li>
+<li>Telegram: remove the startup persisted-offset <code>getUpdates</code> preflight so polling restarts do not self-conflict before the runner starts. Fixes #69304. (#69779) Thanks @chinar-amrutkar.</li>
+<li>Telegram: keep the polling stall watchdog active even when grammY reports the runner as not running while its task is still pending, so a rebuilt transport cannot leave <code>getUpdates</code> silent until a manual gateway restart. Fixes #69064. Thanks @LDLoeb.</li>
+<li>Subagents: fall back to direct completion delivery when the parent announce turn finishes without a visible payload, so child results still reach channel-backed requester sessions.</li>
+<li>Subagents: tell parent agents to use <code>sessions_yield</code> while waiting for child completion events, preventing GPT-5 fast runs from ending silently after spawning workers.</li>
+<li>Browser/Playwright: ignore benign already-handled route races during guarded navigation so browser-page tasks no longer fail when Playwright tears down a route mid-flight. (#68708) Thanks @Steady-ai.</li>
+<li>Browser/CLI: lazy-load browser command groups and plugin runtime services so <code>openclaw browser --help</code> can render without loading the full browser automation stack. Fixes #65400. (#65460, #66640) Thanks @pandego and @Tianworld.</li>
+<li>Browser/CLI: serve precomputed <code>openclaw browser --help</code> text from CLI startup metadata, avoiding the full plugin/config startup path for the common help invocation.</li>
+<li>Browser/downloads: seed managed Chrome profiles with OpenClaw download prefs and capture unmanaged click-triggered downloads under the guarded downloads directory, while explicit download waiters still own their target file. (#64558) Thanks @Pearcekieser.</li>
+<li>Browser/Chrome: stop passing redundant <code>--disable-setuid-sandbox</code> when <code>browser.noSandbox</code> is enabled; <code>--no-sandbox</code> remains the effective sandbox opt-out. (#67939) Thanks @sebykrueger.</li>
+<li>Browser/client: stop telling agents to permanently avoid the browser after transient timeout or cancellation failures; keep the no-retry hint for persistent unavailable/rate-limit cases. (#46505) Thanks @jriff.</li>
+<li>Browser/aria snapshots: bind <code>format=aria</code> <code>axN</code> refs to live DOM nodes through backend DOM ids when Playwright is available, so follow-up browser actions can use those refs without timing out. (#62434) Thanks @MrKipler.</li>
+<li>Telegram: prevent duplicate in-process long pollers for the same bot token and add clearer <code>getUpdates</code> conflict diagnostics for external duplicate pollers. Fixes #56230. Thanks @Co-Messi.</li>
+<li>Browser/Linux: detect Chromium-based installs under <code>/opt/google</code>, <code>/opt/brave.com</code>, <code>/usr/lib/chromium</code>, and <code>/usr/lib/chromium-browser</code> before asking users to set <code>browser.executablePath</code>. (#48563) Thanks @lupuletic.</li>
+<li>Sessions/browser: close tracked browser tabs when idle, daily, <code>/new</code>, or <code>/reset</code> session rollover archives the previous transcript, preventing tabs from leaking past the old session. Thanks @jakozloski.</li>
+<li>Sessions/forking: fall back to transcript-estimated parent token counts when cached totals are stale or missing, so oversized thread forks start fresh instead of cloning the full parent transcript. Thanks @jalehman.</li>
+<li>OpenAI/Codex: send Codex Responses system prompts through top-level <code>instructions</code> while preserving the existing native Codex payload controls.</li>
+<li>MCP/CLI: retire bundled MCP runtimes at the end of one-shot <code>openclaw agent</code> and <code>openclaw infer model run</code> gateway/local executions, so repeated scripted runs do not accumulate stdio MCP child processes. Fixes #71457. Thanks @spartoviMD.</li>
+<li>OpenAI/Codex image generation: canonicalize legacy <code>openai-codex.baseUrl</code> values such as <code>https://chatgpt.com/backend-api</code> to the Codex Responses backend before calling <code>gpt-image-2</code>, matching the chat transport. Fixes #71460. Thanks @GodsBoy.</li>
+<li>Control UI: make <code>/usage</code> use the fresh context snapshot for context percentage, and include cache-write tokens in the Usage overview cache-hit denominator. Fixes #47885. Thanks @imwyvern and @Ante042.</li>
+<li>GitHub Copilot: preserve encrypted Responses reasoning item IDs during replay so Copilot can validate encrypted reasoning payloads across requests. (#71448) Thanks @a410979729-sys.</li>
+<li>GitHub Copilot: never rewrite connection-bound reasoning item IDs regardless of whether <code>encrypted_content</code> is present, fixing a 400 "Encrypted content item_id did not match" error with <code>gpt-5.3-codex</code> and future Codex models that fall through to the forward-compat catch-all with <code>reasoning: false</code>. Also recognize Codex-named models as reasoning-capable so they inherit the correct capability flags. Refs #68735. Thanks @InvalidPandaa.</li>
+<li>Agents/replies: recover final-answer text when streamed assistant chunks contain only whitespace, preventing completed turns from surfacing as empty-payload errors. Fixes #71454. (#71467) Thanks @Sanjays2402.</li>
+<li>Feishu/TTS: transcode voice-intent MP3 and other audio replies to Ogg/Opus before sending native Feishu audio bubbles, while keeping ordinary MP3 attachments as files. Fixes #61249 and #37868. Thanks @sg1416-zg and @ycjlb2023-peteryi.</li>
+<li>WhatsApp/TTS: transcode MP3/WebM audio, including Microsoft Edge TTS output, to Ogg/Opus before sending PTT voice notes.</li>
+<li>QQBot/TTS: honor plain <code>audioAsVoice</code> replies by synthesizing TTS to native QQ voice messages, and mark inbound voice-only messages as audio media without exposing raw voice paths to generic media context.</li>
+<li>Providers/SenseAudio: add bundled SenseAudio batch audio transcription through <code>tools.media.audio</code> with <code>SENSEAUDIO_API_KEY</code> auth. (#66943) Thanks @Fl0rencess720.</li>
+<li>Providers/MiniMax: let TTS use MiniMax portal OAuth and Token Plan credentials before falling back to <code>MINIMAX_API_KEY</code>, and include current TTS HD model ids. Fixes #55017. Thanks @zx15210404690-hash.</li>
+<li>Telegram/webhook: acknowledge validated webhook updates before running bot middleware, keeping slow agent turns from tripping Telegram delivery retries while preserving per-chat processing lanes. Fixes #71392. Thanks @joelforsberg46-source.</li>
+<li>MCP/config reload: hot-apply <code>mcp.*</code> changes by disposing cached session MCP runtimes, and dispose bundled MCP runtimes during gateway shutdown so removed <code>mcp.servers</code> entries reap child processes promptly. Fixes #60656. Thanks @xieyuanqing.</li>
+<li>Active Memory: keep silent recall sub-agent billing/auth failures out of shared auth-profile cooldown state, so a Claude CLI extra-usage rejection cannot disable normal Claude-backed turns. Fixes #71284. (#71539) Thanks @vishutdhar and @obviyus.</li>
+<li>Auth/Claude CLI: sync refreshed Claude CLI OAuth credentials into the managed auth profile so long-running Claude CLI runs stop falling back to stale OpenClaw snapshots. (#70902) Thanks @starvex.</li>
+<li>Sessions: make <code>sessions_spawn(mode="session")</code> errors name usable alternatives when the current channel cannot bind subagent threads. Fixes #67400. (#67790) Thanks @stainlu.</li>
+<li>Agents/Claude CLI: pass the OpenClaw system prompt through Claude's prompt-file flag so Windows runs avoid argv length failures without changing system prompt semantics. Fixes #69158. (#69211) Thanks @skylee-01, @cassioanorte, @Syu0, and @Stache73.</li>
+<li>Agents/CLI sessions: bind <code>google-gemini-cli</code> session auth-epoch to the Google account identity in <code>~/.gemini/oauth_creds.json</code>, so Gemini-backed agents resume their conversation after gateway restart instead of minting a fresh session, and stale bindings are invalidated when the authenticated Google account changes. Fixes #70973. (#71076) Thanks @openperf.</li>
+<li>Slack: stop treating user mentions in assistant-authored message edit blocks as sender attribution, preventing edited bot messages from spoofing a mentioned DM user. (#71700) Thanks @vincentkoc.</li>
+<li>Codex: consume unauthorized bound conversation inbound claims before they can fall through to other claim handlers or enqueue Codex turns. (#71702) Thanks @vincentkoc.</li>
+<li>Codex media understanding: require approval-checked app-server image turns while explicitly declining tool, file, permission, and elicitation approval requests for the bounded image worker. (#71703) Thanks @vincentkoc.</li>
+<li>Agents/Claude CLI: allow large live <code>stream-json</code> JSONL lines up to the existing per-turn raw limit, preventing large Telegram, WebChat, MCP, and image turns from aborting on the old stdout buffer cap. Fixes #71793, #71080, and #70766. (#71897) Thanks @chacher86, @shivamgrover21, and @tpjordan.</li>
+<li>Agents/Claude CLI: unwrap nested Claude result envelopes in CLI JSON output so delegated agent responses surface as final text instead of raw result JSON. (#66819) Thanks @mraleko.</li>
+<li>Agents/Claude CLI: apply the configured 1M context window override to eligible Claude CLI Opus and Sonnet models when <code>context1m</code> is enabled. (#70863) Thanks @bidadh.</li>
+<li>Models/status: report fresh Claude CLI native auth instead of stale stored <code>anthropic:claude-cli</code> profile expiry when local credentials are current. Fixes #71256. (#71332) Thanks @matthiasjanke and @neeravmakwana.</li>
+<li>CLI backends: compact OpenClaw transcripts after over-budget CLI turns and reseed fresh CLI sessions from the compacted transcript instead of stale external resume state. Fixes #68329. (#71916) Thanks @obviyus.</li>
+<li>Telegram: keep default tool progress messages visible when answer preview streaming is disabled. (#71825) Thanks @VACInc.</li>
+<li>Configure/models: clear deselected model fallbacks when updating the model picker allowlist, including provider-scoped setup flows. (#71596) Thanks @rubencu.</li>
+<li>Agents/streaming: strip namespaced <code><antml:thinking></code> reasoning tags from streamed assistant replies before user-visible text is emitted. (#69288) Thanks @xialonglee.</li>

-<h3>Changes</h3>
-<ul>
-<li>Providers/xAI: add image generation, text-to-speech, and speech-to-text support, including <code>grok-imagine-image</code> / <code>grok-imagine-image-pro</code>, reference-image edits, six live xAI voices, MP3/WAV/PCM/G.711 TTS formats, <code>grok-stt</code> audio transcription, and xAI realtime transcription for Voice Call streaming. (#68694) Thanks @KateWilkins.</li>
-<li>Providers/STT: add Voice Call streaming transcription for Deepgram, ElevenLabs, and Mistral, alongside the existing OpenAI and xAI realtime STT paths; ElevenLabs also gains Scribe v2 batch audio transcription for inbound media.</li>
-<li>TUI: add local embedded mode for running terminal chats without a Gateway while keeping plugin approval gates enforced. (#66767) Thanks @fuller-stack-dev.</li>
-<li>Onboarding: auto-install missing provider and channel plugins during setup so first-run configuration can complete without manual plugin recovery.</li>
-<li>OpenAI/Responses: use OpenAI's native <code>web_search</code> 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 <code>web_search</code> tool.</li>
-<li>Models/commands: add <code>/models add <provider> <modelId></code> so you can register a model from chat and use it without restarting the gateway; keep <code>/models</code> as a simple provider browser while adding clearer add guidance and copy-friendly command examples. (#70211) Thanks @Takhoffman.</li>
-<li>WhatsApp: add configurable native reply quoting with replyToMode for WhatsApp conversations. Thanks @mcaxtr.</li>
-<li>WhatsApp/groups+direct: forward per-group and per-direct <code>systemPrompt</code> config into inbound context <code>GroupSystemPrompt</code> so configured per-chat behavioral instructions are injected on every turn. Supports <code>"*"</code> wildcard fallback and account-scoped overrides under <code>channels.whatsapp.accounts.<id>.{groups,direct}</code>; account maps fully replace root maps (no deep merge), matching the existing <code>requireMention</code> pattern. Closes #7011. (#59553) Thanks @Bluetegu.</li>
-<li>Agents/sessions: add mailbox-style <code>sessions_list</code> filters for label, agent, and search plus visibility-scoped derived title and last-message previews. (#69839) Thanks @dangoZhang.</li>
-<li>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.</li>
-<li>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.</li>
-<li>Providers/Tencent: add the bundled Tencent Cloud provider plugin with TokenHub onboarding, docs, <code>hy3-preview</code> model catalog entries, and tiered Hy3 pricing metadata. (#68460) Thanks @JuniperSling.</li>
-<li>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.</li>
-<li>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 <code>agents.defaults.promptOverlays.gpt5.personality</code> as the global friendly-style toggle while keeping the OpenAI plugin setting as a fallback.</li>
-<li>Providers/OpenAI Codex: remove the Codex CLI auth import path from onboarding and provider discovery so OpenClaw no longer copies <code>~/.codex</code> OAuth material into agent auth stores; use browser login or device pairing instead. (#70390) Thanks @pashpashpash.</li>
-<li>CLI/Claude: default <code>claude-cli</code> 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.</li>
-<li>Pi/models: update the bundled pi packages to <code>0.68.1</code> and let the OpenCode Go catalog come from pi instead of plugin-maintained model aliases, adding the refreshed <code>opencode-go/kimi-k2.6</code>, Qwen, GLM, MiMo, and MiniMax entries.</li>
-<li>Tokenjuice: add bundled native OpenClaw support for tokenjuice as an opt-in plugin that compacts noisy <code>exec</code> and <code>bash</code> tool results in Pi embedded runs. (#69946) Thanks @vincentkoc.</li>
-<li>ACPX: add an explicit <code>openClawToolsMcpBridge</code> option that injects a core OpenClaw MCP server for selected built-in tools, starting with <code>cron</code>.</li>
-<li>CLI/doctor plugins: lazy-load doctor plugin paths and prefer installed plugin <code>dist/*</code> runtime entries over source-adjacent JavaScript fallbacks, reducing the measured <code>doctor --non-interactive</code> runtime by about 74% while keeping cold doctor startup on built plugin artifacts. (#69840) Thanks @gumadeiras.</li>
-<li>CLI/debugging: add an opt-in temporary debug timing helper for local CLI performance investigations, with readable stderr output, JSONL capture, and docs for removing probes before landing fixes. (#70469) Thanks @shakkernerd.</li>
-<li>Docs/i18n: add Thai translation support for the docs site.</li>
-<li>Providers/OpenAI-compatible: mark known local backends such as vLLM, SGLang, llama.cpp, LM Studio, LocalAI, Jan, TabbyAPI, and text-generation-webui as streaming-usage compatible, so their token accounting no longer degrades to unknown/stale totals. (#68711) Thanks @gaineyllc.</li>
-<li>Providers/OpenAI-compatible: recover streamed token usage from llama.cpp-style <code>timings.prompt_n</code> / <code>timings.predicted_n</code> metadata and sanitize usage counts before accumulation, fixing unknown or stale totals when compatible servers do not emit an OpenAI-shaped <code>usage</code> object. (#41056) Thanks @xaeon2026.</li>
-<li>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.</li>
-<li>Plugin SDK/STT: share realtime transcription WebSocket transport and multipart batch transcription form helpers across bundled STT providers, reducing provider plugin boilerplate while preserving proxy capture, reconnects, audio queueing, close flushing, upload filename normalization, and ready handshakes.</li>
-<li>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 <code>tool_result</code> handling instead of falling back to the older synchronous persistence path. (#69946) Thanks @vincentkoc.</li>
-<li>Codex harness/hooks: route native Codex app-server turns through <code>before_prompt_build</code> and emit <code>before_compaction</code> / <code>after_compaction</code> for native compaction items so prompt and compaction hooks stop drifting from Pi. Thanks @vincentkoc.</li>
-<li>Codex harness/plugins: add a bundled-plugin Codex app-server extension seam for async <code>tool_result</code> middleware, fire <code>after_tool_call</code> for Codex tool runs, and route mirrored Codex transcript writes through <code>before_message_write</code> so tool integrations stop diverging from Pi. Thanks @vincentkoc.</li>
-<li>Codex harness/hooks: fire <code>llm_input</code>, <code>llm_output</code>, and <code>agent_end</code> for native Codex app-server turns so lifecycle hooks stop drifting from Pi. Thanks @vincentkoc.</li>
-<li>QA/Telegram: record per-scenario reply RTT in the live Telegram QA report and summary, starting with the canary response. (#70550) Thanks @obviyus.</li>
-<li>Status: add an explicit <code>Runner:</code> field to <code>/status</code> so sessions now report whether they are running on embedded Pi, a CLI-backed provider, or an ACP harness agent/backend such as <code>codex (acp/acpx)</code> or <code>gemini (acp/acpx)</code>. (#70595)</li>
-</ul>
-<h3>Fixes</h3>
-<ul>
-<li>Thinking defaults/status: raise the implicit default thinking level for reasoning-capable models from legacy <code>off</code>/<code>low</code> fallback behavior to a safe provider-supported <code>medium</code> equivalent when no explicit config default is set, preserve configured-model reasoning metadata when runtime catalog loading is empty, and make <code>/status</code> report the same resolved default as runtime.</li>
-<li>Gateway/model pricing: fetch OpenRouter and LiteLLM pricing asynchronously at startup and extend catalog fetch timeouts to 30 seconds, reducing noisy timeout warnings during slow upstream responses.</li>
-<li>Agents/sessions: keep daily reset and idle-maintenance bookkeeping from bumping session activity or pruning freshly active routes, so active conversations no longer look newer or disappear for maintenance-only updates.</li>
-<li>Plugins/install: add newly installed plugin ids to an existing <code>plugins.allow</code> list before enabling them, so allowlisted configs load installed plugins after restart.</li>
-<li>Status: show <code>Fast</code> in <code>/status</code> when fast mode is enabled, including config/default-derived fast mode, and omit it when disabled.</li>
-<li>OpenAI/image generation: detect Azure OpenAI-style image endpoints, use Azure <code>api-key</code> auth plus deployment-scoped image URLs, honor <code>AZURE_OPENAI_API_VERSION</code>, and document the Azure setup path so image generation and edits work against Azure-hosted OpenAI resources. (#70570) Thanks @zhanggpcsu.</li>
-<li>Telegram/forum topics: cache recovered forum metadata with bounded expiry so supergroup updates no longer need repeated <code>getChat</code> lookups before topic routing.</li>
-<li>Onboarding/WeCom: show the official WeCom channel plugin with its native Enterprise WeChat display name and blurb in the external channel catalog.</li>
-<li>Models/auth: merge provider-owned default-model additions from <code>openclaw models auth login</code> instead of replacing <code>agents.defaults.models</code>, so re-authenticating an OAuth provider such as OpenAI Codex no longer wipes other providers' aliases and per-model params. Migrations that must rename keys (Anthropic -> Claude CLI) opt in with <code>replaceDefaultModels</code>. Fixes #69414. (#70435) Thanks @neeravmakwana.</li>
-<li>Media understanding/audio: prefer configured or key-backed STT providers before auto-detected local Whisper CLIs, so installed local transcription tools no longer shadow API providers such as Groq/OpenAI in <code>tools.media.audio</code> auto mode. Fixes #68727.</li>
-<li>Providers/OpenAI: lock the auth picker wording for OpenAI API key, Codex browser login, and Codex device pairing so the setup choices no longer imply a mixed Codex/API-key auth path. (#67848) Thanks @tmlxrd.</li>
-<li>Agents/BTW: route <code>/btw</code> side questions through provider stream registration with the session workspace, so Ollama provider URL construction and workspace-scoped hooks apply correctly. Fixes #68336. (#70413) Thanks @suboss87.</li>
-<li>Agents/sessions: make session transcript write locks non-reentrant by default, so same-process transcript writers contend unless a helper explicitly opts into nested lock ownership.</li>
-<li>ACPX/probe: expose an optional <code>probeAgent</code> plugin config field so the embedded ACP runtime health probe can target a configured agent (for example <code>opencode</code> or <code>claude</code>) instead of hardcoding <code>codex</code>, and stop marking the entire ACP runtime backend unavailable when the default probe agent is simply not installed or not authenticated. (#68409) Thanks @lyfuci.</li>
-<li>Memory search: use sqlite-vec KNN for vector recall while preserving full post-filter result limits in multi-model indexes. Fixes #69666. (#69680) Thanks @aalekh-sarvam.</li>
-<li>Providers/OpenAI Codex: stop stale per-agent <code>openai-codex:default</code> OAuth profiles from shadowing a newer main-agent identity-scoped profile, and let <code>openclaw doctor</code> offer the matching cleanup. (#70393) Thanks @pashpashpash.</li>
-<li>ACPX: route OpenClaw ACP bridge commands through the MCP-free runtime path even when the command is wrapped with <code>env</code>, has bridge flags, or is resumed from persisted session state, so documented <code>acpx openclaw</code> setups no longer fail on per-session MCP injection. (#68741) Thanks @alexlomt.</li>
-<li>Codex harness: route Codex-tagged MCP tool approval elicitations through OpenClaw plugin approvals, including current empty-schema app-server requests, while leaving generic user-input prompts fail-closed. (#68807) Thanks @kesslerio.</li>
-<li>WhatsApp/outbound: hold an in-memory active-delivery claim while a live outbound send is in flight, so a concurrent reconnect drain no longer re-drives the same pending queue entry and duplicates cron sends 7-12x after the 30-minute inbound-silence watchdog fires mid-delivery. Crash-replay of fresh queue entries left behind by a dead process is preserved because the claim is intentionally process-local. Fixes #70386. (#70428) Thanks @neeravmakwana.</li>
-<li>Matrix/commands: keep Matrix DM allowlist state out of room control-command authorization, so trusted DM senders do not accidentally gain room-command access.</li>
-<li>Providers/SDK retry: cap long <code>Retry-After</code> sleeps in Stainless-based Anthropic/OpenAI model SDKs so 60s+ retry windows surface immediately for OpenClaw failover instead of blocking the run. (#68474) Thanks @jetd1.</li>
-<li>Agents/TTS: preserve spoken text in TTS tool results while defusing reply directives in transcript content, so future turns remember voice replies without treating spoken <code>MEDIA:</code> or voice tags as delivery metadata. (#68869) Thanks @zqchris.</li>
-<li>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.</li>
-<li>Agents/Pi embedded runs: suppress the "⚠️ Agent couldn't generate a response" warning when the assistant already delivered user-visible content through a messaging tool and the turn ended cleanly (<code>stopReason=stop</code>). Real failure modes (tool errors, provider <code>stopReason=error</code>, interrupted tool use) still surface the existing "verify before retrying" warning. Fixes #70396. (#70425) Thanks @neeravmakwana.</li>
-<li>Gateway/Linux: wrap gateway-managed supervisor, PTY, MCP stdio, and browser child processes in a tiny <code>/bin/sh</code> shim that raises the child's own <code>oom_score_adj</code> on Linux, so under cgroup memory pressure the kernel prefers transient workers over the long-lived gateway. Opt out with <code>OPENCLAW_CHILD_OOM_SCORE_ADJ=0</code>. Fixes #70404. (#70419) Thanks @neeravmakwana.</li>
-<li>Providers/Moonshot: stop strict-sanitizing Kimi's native tool_call IDs (shaped like <code>functions.<name>:<index></code>) 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 <code>sanitizeToolCallIds</code> opt-out to the shared <code>openai-compatible</code> replay family helper and wires Moonshot to it. Fixes #62319. (#70030) Thanks @LeoDu0314.</li>
-<li>Dependencies/security: override transitive <code>uuid</code> to <code>14.0.0</code>, clearing the runtime advisory across dependencies.</li>
-<li>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.</li>
-<li>Codex harness: expose the Codex app-server model catalog in <code>models list/status</code>, avoid startup hangs from app-server discovery timeouts, and accept current Codex turn-completion notifications so Docker live gateway turns finish reliably.</li>
-<li>Codex harness: drop invalid legacy app-server <code>serviceTier</code> values such as <code>"priority"</code> before native thread and turn requests, while keeping supported Codex tiers limited to <code>"fast"</code> and <code>"flex"</code>. Fixes #64815.</li>
-<li>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.</li>
-<li>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.</li>
-<li>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.</li>
-<li>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.</li>
-<li>Config/includes: write through single-file top-level includes for isolated OpenClaw-owned mutations, so <code>plugins install</code> and <code>plugins update</code> update an included <code>plugins.json5</code> file instead of flattening modular <code>$include</code> configs. Fixes #41050 and #66048.</li>
-<li>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.</li>
-<li>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 <code>plugins install</code> attempts at <code>plugins update</code> / <code>--force</code> instead of a hook-pack fallback. Fixes #46955, #67957, and #68073.</li>
-<li>Agents/MCP: keep <code>mcp.servers</code> and bundle MCP tools available in Pi embedded <code>coding</code> and <code>messaging</code> sessions while preserving <code>minimal</code> profile and <code>tools.deny: ["bundle-mcp"]</code> opt-out behavior. Fixes #68875 and #68818.</li>
-<li>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.</li>
-<li>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.</li>
-<li>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.</li>
-<li>Codex harness: rotate the shared app-server websocket client when the configured bearer token changes, so auth-token refreshes reconnect with the new <code>Authorization</code> header instead of reusing a stale socket. (#70328) Thanks @Lucenx9.</li>
-<li>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.</li>
-<li>Config/models: merge provider-scoped model allowlist updates and protect model/provider map writes from accidental full replacement, adding <code>config set --merge</code> for additive updates and <code>--replace</code> for intentional clobbers. Fixes #65920, #68392, and #68653.</li>
-<li>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.</li>
-<li>Config/gateway: restore last-known-good config on critical clobber signatures such as missing metadata, missing <code>gateway.mode</code>, or sharp size drops, preventing gateway crash loops when a valid backup exists. Fixes #70336.</li>
-<li>Config/gateway: recover configs accidentally prefixed with non-JSON output during gateway startup or <code>openclaw doctor --fix</code>, preserving the clobbered file as a backup while leaving normal config reads read-only.</li>
-<li>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.</li>
-<li>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 <code>createAgentSession</code>. Thanks @vincentkoc.</li>
-<li>Agents/OpenAI websocket: route native OpenAI websocket metadata and session-header decisions through the shared endpoint classifier so local mocks and custom <code>models.providers.openai.baseUrl</code> endpoints stay out of the native OpenAI path consistently across embedded-runner and websocket transport code. Thanks @vincentkoc.</li>
-<li>Cron/MCP: retire bundled MCP runtimes through one shared cleanup path for isolated cron run ends, persistent cron session rollover, and direct cron <code>deleteAfterRun</code> fallback cleanup. Fixes #69145, #68623, and #68827.</li>
-<li>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.</li>
-<li>Agents/MCP: retire bundled MCP runtimes after completed one-shot subagent cleanup and nested <code>sessions_send</code> steps, while keeping persistent subagent sessions warm.</li>
-<li>Config: render validation warnings with real line breaks instead of a literal <code>\n</code> sequence in CLI/audit output. Fixes #70140.</li>
-<li>Cron/doctor: repair malformed persisted cron job IDs through <code>openclaw doctor</code>, including legacy <code>jobId</code>, non-string <code>id</code>, and missing <code>id</code> rows, so <code>cron list</code> no longer needs display-layer coercion for corrupt store data. Fixes #70128.</li>
-<li>Discord: normalize prefixed channel targets only at the thread-binding API boundary, so <code>sessions_spawn({ runtime: "acp", thread: true })</code> can create child threads from Discord channels without breaking current-channel ACP bindings. (#68034) Thanks @Zetarcos.</li>
-<li>Discord: harden inbound thread metadata handling against partial Carbon channel getters, so non-command thread messages and queued jobs no longer crash when <code>name</code>, <code>parentId</code>, <code>parent</code>, or <code>ownerId</code> requires fetched raw data.</li>
-<li>Discord: let <code>message</code> tool reactions resolve <code>user:<id></code> DM targets and preserve <code>channels.discord.guilds.<guild>.channels.<channel>.requireMention: false</code> during reply-stage activation fallback. Fixes #70165 and #69441.</li>
-<li>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.</li>
-<li>ACP/Codex: run the bundled Codex ACP harness with an isolated <code>CODEX_HOME</code> 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.</li>
-<li>Gateway/client: keep long-running RPCs such as ACP <code>agent.wait</code> calls in charge of their own timeout instead of closing the websocket on a missed app-level tick while work is still pending.</li>
-<li>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.</li>
-<li>Telegram/polling: rebuild the polling HTTP transport after <code>getUpdates</code> 409 conflicts, so retries use a fresh TCP connection instead of looping on a Telegram-terminated keep-alive socket. (#69873) Thanks @hclsys.</li>
-<li>Media delivery: strip persisted base64 audio payloads from webchat history, resolve stored <code>media://inbound/*</code> 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.</li>
-<li>Slack/files: resolve <code>downloadFile</code> bot tokens from the runtime config when callers provide <code>cfg</code> without an explicit token or prebuilt client, preserving cfg-only file downloads outside the action runtime path. (#70160) Thanks @martingarramon.</li>
-<li>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.</li>
-<li>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.</li>
-<li>CLI/Claude: keep stored Claude CLI sessions through OAuth refresh-token rotation by keying auth epochs on stable account identity instead of mutable OAuth token material. (#70452) Thanks @obviyus.</li>
-<li>CLI/Claude: verify stored Claude CLI session ids have a readable project transcript before resuming, clearing phantom bindings with <code>reason=transcript-missing</code> instead of silently starting fresh under <code>--resume</code>. Fixes #70177.</li>
-<li>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.</li>
-<li>ACP/sessions_spawn: honor explicit <code>model</code> overrides for ACP child sessions instead of silently falling back to the target agent default model. (#70210) Thanks @felix-miao.</li>
-<li>Diffs/viewer: re-read remote viewer access policy from live runtime config on each request, so toggling <code>plugins.entries.diffs.config.security.allowRemoteViewer</code> closes proxied viewer access immediately instead of waiting for a restart. Thanks @vincentkoc.</li>
-<li>Diffs/tooling: re-read <code>viewerBaseUrl</code>, presentation defaults, and viewer access policy from live runtime config, and fail closed when the live <code>diffs</code> plugin entry disappears instead of reviving startup viewer settings. Thanks @vincentkoc.</li>
-<li>Memory/LanceDB: stop resurrecting removed live <code>memory-lancedb</code> hook config from startup snapshots, so deleting or disabling the plugin entry shuts off auto-recall and auto-capture without a restart. Thanks @vincentkoc.</li>
-<li>Memory/LanceDB: keep auto-recall and auto-capture hooks wired when those settings start disabled, so turning them on in live config starts recall and capture without waiting for a restart. Thanks @vincentkoc.</li>
-<li>Skill Workshop: keep the tool plus <code>before_prompt_build</code> / <code>agent_end</code> hooks wired while the plugin is disabled at startup, so turning the plugin back on in live config starts guidance and capture without waiting for a restart. Thanks @vincentkoc.</li>
-<li>Active Memory: stop reviving removed live <code>active-memory</code> config from startup snapshots, so removing the plugin entry turns the hook off immediately instead of waiting for a restart. Thanks @vincentkoc.</li>
-<li>GitHub Copilot: re-read plugin discovery config from the live runtime snapshot, so toggling <code>plugins.entries.github-copilot.config.discovery.enabled</code> takes effect without a restart. Thanks @vincentkoc.</li>
-<li>Ollama: re-read plugin discovery config from the live runtime snapshot, so toggling <code>plugins.entries.ollama.config.discovery.enabled</code> takes effect without a restart. Thanks @vincentkoc.</li>
-<li>OpenAI: re-read the plugin prompt-overlay personality from live runtime config, so GPT-5 system prompt contributions update without a restart when <code>plugins.entries.openai.config.personality</code> changes. Thanks @vincentkoc.</li>
-<li>Amazon Bedrock: re-read live discovery and guardrail plugin config, so toggling <code>plugins.entries.amazon-bedrock.config.discovery</code> or <code>plugins.entries.amazon-bedrock.config.guardrail</code> takes effect without a restart. Thanks @vincentkoc.</li>
-<li>Codex: re-read the plugin discovery config from the live runtime snapshot, so toggling <code>plugins.entries.codex.config.discovery</code> takes effect without a restart. Thanks @vincentkoc.</li>
-<li>Agents/subagents: drop bare <code>NO_REPLY</code> 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.</li>
-<li>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.</li>
-<li>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 <code>openclaw status</code> or bootstrap secret scans.</li>
-<li>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.</li>
-<li>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.</li>
-<li>Hooks/Slack: standardize shared message hook routing fields (<code>threadId</code> / <code>replyToId</code>) and stop Slack outbound delivery from re-running <code>message_sending</code> inside the channel adapter, so plugins like thread-ownership make one outbound routing decision per reply. Thanks @vincentkoc.</li>
-<li>Auto-reply/media: share one run-scoped reply media context between streamed block delivery and final payload filtering, so a local <code>MEDIA:</code> attachment is staged once and duplicate media sends are suppressed reliably. (#68111) Thanks @ayeshakhalid192007-dev.</li>
-<li>Plugins/gateway hooks: expose startup config, workspace dir, and a live cron getter on the typed <code>gateway_start</code> hook, and move memory-core managed dreaming off the internal <code>gateway:startup</code> bridge so cron reconciliation stays on the public plugin hook path. Thanks @vincentkoc.</li>
-<li>Plugins/config: read plugin trust decisions from the source config snapshot when a resolved runtime snapshot is active, so <code>plugins.allow</code> remains enforced and <code>doctor</code>/gateway startup no longer warn that the allowlist is empty when it is configured. Fixes #70161. Also fixes #70141.</li>
-<li>Agents/openai-completions: enable malformed streamed tool-call argument repair for self-hosted OpenAI-compatible backends such as Kimi/SGLang, so fragmented tool-call arguments no longer reach tools as empty or unusable objects. Fixes #69672. (#70294) Thanks @MonkeyLeeT.</li>
-<li>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.</li>
-<li>Gateway/pairing: shared-secret loopback CLI clients now silently auto-approve <code>metadata-upgrade</code> pairing (platform / device family refresh) instead of being disconnected with <code>1008 pairing required</code>. 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.</li>
-<li>Gateway/pairing: treat any forwarded-header evidence (<code>Forwarded</code>, <code>X-Forwarded-*</code>, or <code>X-Real-IP</code>) as proxied WebSocket traffic before pairing locality checks, so reverse-proxy topologies cannot use the loopback shared-secret helper auto-pairing path.</li>
-<li>Agents/OpenAI: treat exact <code>NO_REPLY</code> 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.</li>
-<li>Auto-reply/streaming: preserve streamed reply directives through chunk boundaries and phase-aware <code>final_answer</code> delivery, so split <code>MEDIA:<path></code> lines, voice tags, and reply targets reach channel delivery instead of leaking as text or being dropped. (#70243) Thanks @zqchris.</li>
-<li>Anthropic/Claude Opus 4.7: normalize Opus 4.7 and <code>claude-cli</code> 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.</li>
-<li>Gateway/pairing webchat: render <code>/pair qr</code> 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.</li>
-<li>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.</li>
-<li>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.</li>
-<li>Codex harness: apply the GPT-5 behavior and heartbeat prompt overlay to native Codex app-server runs, so <code>codex/gpt-5.x</code> sessions get the same follow-through, tool-use, and proactive heartbeat guidance as OpenAI GPT-5 runs.</li>
-<li>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 <code>OPENCLAW_CODEX_APP_SERVER_GUARDIAN</code> shortcut is removed; use plugin config <code>appServer.mode: "guardian"</code> or <code>OPENCLAW_CODEX_APP_SERVER_MODE=guardian</code>. Thanks @pashpashpash.</li>
-<li>OpenAI/Responses: keep embedded OpenAI Responses runs on HTTP when <code>models.providers.openai.baseUrl</code> 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.</li>
-<li>Channels/config: require resolved runtime config on channel send/action/client helpers and block runtime helper <code>loadConfig()</code> calls, so SecretRefs are resolved at startup/boundaries instead of being re-read during sends.</li>
-<li>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.</li>
-<li>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 <code>streaming</code> into <code>accounts.default</code>.</li>
-<li>Telegram: keep the sent-message ownership cache isolated per configured session store, so own-message reaction filtering remains correct with custom <code>session.store</code> paths.</li>
-<li>Security/update: fail closed when exact pinned npm plugin or hook-pack updates detect integrity drift, and expose aborted plugin drift details in <code>openclaw update --json</code>.</li>
-<li>Ollama: forward OpenClaw thinking control to native <code>/api/chat</code> requests as top-level <code>think</code>, so <code>/think off</code> and <code>openclaw agent --thinking off</code> suppress thinking on models such as qwen3 instead of idling until the watchdog fires. Fixes #69902. (#69967) Thanks @WZH8898.</li>
-<li>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.</li>
-<li>Mattermost: suppress reasoning-only payloads even when they arrive as blockquoted <code>> Reasoning:</code> text, preventing <code>/reasoning on</code> from leaking thinking into channel posts. (#69927) Thanks @lawrence3699.</li>
-<li>Discord: read <code>channel.parentId</code> through a safe accessor in the slash-command, reaction, and model-picker paths so partial <code>GuildThreadChannel</code> prototype getters no longer throw <code>Cannot access rawData on partial Channel</code> when commands like <code>/new</code> run from inside a thread. Fixes #69861. (#69908) Thanks @neeravmakwana.</li>
-<li>Discord: use safe channel name and parent accessors across voice command authorization, so <code>/vc</code> commands from partial Discord thread channels no longer crash on Carbon rawData getters. (#70199) Thanks @hanamizuki.</li>
-<li>Discord: make auto-thread parent transcript inheritance opt-in via <code>channels.discord.thread.inheritParent</code>, keeping newly created Discord thread sessions isolated by default while preserving explicit inheritance for configured accounts. Fixes #69907. (#69986) Thanks @Blahdude.</li>
-<li>Browser/Chrome MCP: reset cached existing-session control sessions when a <code>navigate_page</code> call times out, so one stuck navigation no longer poisons the browser profile until a gateway restart. (#69733) Thanks @ayeshakhalid192007-dev.</li>
-<li>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.</li>
-<li>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.</li>
-<li>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.</li>
-<li>OpenCode Go: canonicalize stale bundled <code>opencode-go</code> base URLs from <code>/go</code> or <code>/go/v1</code> to <code>/zen/go</code> or <code>/zen/go/v1</code>, so older generated model metadata stops hitting the 404 HTML endpoint. (#69898)</li>
-<li>CLI/channels: honor <code>channels.<id>.enabled=false</code> 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.</li>
-<li>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.</li>
-<li>Discord: keep slash command follow-up chunks ephemeral when the command is configured for ephemeral replies, so long <code>/status</code> output no longer leaks fallback model or runtime details into the public channel. (#69869) thanks @gumadeiras.</li>
-<li>Gateway/session history: re-check current auth and <code>chat.history</code> scope before later SSE keepalives and transcript updates, so active session-history streams close before delivering post-revocation events.</li>
-<li>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.</li>
-<li>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.</li>
-<li>Doctor/plugins: hydrate legacy partial interactive handler state before plugin reload clears dedupe caches, so <code>openclaw doctor</code> and post-update doctor runs no longer crash with <code>Cannot read properties of undefined (reading 'clear')</code>. (#70135) Thanks @ngutman.</li>
-<li>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.</li>
-<li>memory-core/dreaming: surface a <code>Dreaming status: blocked</code> line in <code>openclaw memory status</code> 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 <code>heartbeat</code> blocks excluding <code>main</code>, and <code>heartbeat.every</code> set to <code>0</code>/empty/invalid), so the silent failure described in #69843 becomes legible on the status surface.</li>
-<li>Cron/run-log: report generic <code>message</code> 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.</li>
-<li>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.</li>
-<li>Models/CLI: show bundled provider-owned static catalog rows in <code>models list --all</code> 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.</li>
-<li>Models/CLI: clarify that <code>models list --provider</code> expects provider ids and reject display labels before loading model discovery. (#70504) Thanks @shakkernerd.</li>
-<li>Configure: skip generic CLI startup bootstrap for <code>openclaw configure</code> and bound hint-only gateway probes so the onboarding TUI reaches its first prompt faster when the Gateway is unavailable. (#69984) Thanks @obviyus.</li>
-<li>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.</li>
-<li>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.</li>
-<li>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.</li>
-<li>fix(config): accept truncateAfterCompaction (#68395). Thanks @MonkeyLeeT</li>
-<li>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.</li>
-<li>QQBot: add <code>INTERACTION</code> intent (<code>1 << 26</code>) to the gateway constants and include it in the <code>FULL_INTENTS</code> mask so interaction events are received. (#70143) Thanks @cxyhhhhh.</li>
-<li>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.</li>
-<li>Gateway/restart: write restart sentinel files atomically so interrupted writes cannot leave a truncated sentinel behind. (#70225) Thanks @obviyus.</li>
-<li>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.</li>
-<li>Security/dotenv: block workspace <code>.env</code> overrides for Matrix, Mattermost, IRC, and Synology endpoint settings so cloned workspaces cannot redirect bundled connector traffic through local endpoint config. (#70240) Thanks @drobison00.</li>
-<li>Telegram: require the same <code>/models</code> authorization for group model-picker callbacks, so unauthorized participants can no longer browse or change the session model through inline buttons. (#70235) Thanks @drobison00.</li>
-<li>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 <code>0.68.1</code> session-tool allowlist change instead of stopping at plan-only replies with no tool call. (#70281) Thanks @jalehman.</li>
-<li>Agents/Pi: honor explicit <code>strict-agentic</code> 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.</li>
-<li>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.</li>
-<li>Gateway/Control UI: require authenticated Control UI read access before serving <code>/__openclaw/control-ui-config.json</code> when <code>gateway.auth</code> is enabled, so unauthenticated callers can no longer read bootstrap metadata. (#70247) Thanks @drobison00.</li>
-<li>Gateway/restart: default session-scoped restart sentinels to a one-shot agent continuation, so chat-initiated Gateway restarts acknowledge successful boot automatically. (#70269) Thanks @obviyus.</li>
-<li>Build/npm publish: fail postpublish verification when root <code>dist/*</code> files import bundled plugin runtime dependencies without mirroring them in the root package manifest, so Slack-style plugin deps cannot silently ship on the wrong module-resolution path again. (#60112) thanks @medns.</li>

-<h3>Changes</h3>
-<ul>
-<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>
-<li>Terminal/logging: optimize <code>sanitizeForLog()</code> by replacing the iterative control-character stripping loop with a single regex pass while preserving the existing ANSI-first sanitization behavior. (#67205) Thanks @bulutmuf.</li>
-<li>QA/CI: make <code>openclaw qa suite</code> and <code>openclaw qa telegram</code> fail by default when scenarios fail, add <code>--allow-failures</code> for artifact-only runs, and tighten live-lane defaults for CI automation. (#69122) Thanks @joshavant.</li>
-<li>Mattermost: stream thinking, tool activity, and partial reply text into a single draft preview post that finalizes in place when safe. (#47838) thanks @ninjaa.</li>
-</ul>
-<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>fix(gateway): enforce allowRequestSessionKey gate on template-rendered mapping sessionKeys. (#69381) 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>fix(security): block MINIMAX_API_HOST workspace env injection and remove env-driven URL routing [AI-assisted]. (#67300) Thanks @pgondhi987.</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>
