+## 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                                                            |
+| --------------- | ---------------------------------- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
+| wall time       | user-visible suite cost            | `/usr/bin/time -l`, test wrapper duration, Testbox run time                 |
+| Vitest duration | test body/import cost              | Vitest output per file/shard                                                |
+| 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
+```
+
+Targeted plugin import memory:
+
+```bash
+pnpm test:extensions:memory -- --extension discord --extension telegram --skip-combined
+```
+
+Heap/RSS escalation:
+
+```bash
+OPENCLAW_TEST_MEMORY_TRACE=1 \
+OPENCLAW_TEST_HEAPSNAPSHOT_INTERVAL_MS=60000 \
+OPENCLAW_TEST_HEAPSNAPSHOT_DIR=.tmp/heapsnap \
+OPENCLAW_TEST_WORKERS=2 \
+OPENCLAW_TEST_MAX_OLD_SPACE_SIZE_MB=6144 \
+pnpm test
+```
+
+Use `openclaw-test-heap-leaks` when RSS keeps growing across intervals, workers
+OOM, or the suspect command has app-object retention. Do not call RSS growth a
+leak until snapshots or retainers support it.

 ### 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
+
+- 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.

 - 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.

 ### 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.

 Notes:
 
 - Local `model run` is the narrowest CLI smoke for provider/model/auth health because it sends only the supplied prompt to the selected model.
+- Local `model run --file` keeps that lean path and attaches image content directly to the single user message. Common image files such as PNG, JPEG, and WebP work when their MIME type is detected as `image/*`; unsupported or unrecognized files fail before the provider is called.
+- `model run --file` is best when you want to test the selected multimodal text model directly. Use `infer image describe` when you want OpenClaw's image-understanding provider selection and default image-model routing.
+- The selected model must support image input; text-only models may reject the request at the provider layer.
 - `model run --prompt` must contain non-whitespace text; empty prompts are rejected before local providers or the Gateway are called.
 - Local `model run` exits non-zero when the provider returns no text output, so unreachable local providers and empty completions do not look like successful probes.
 - Use `model run --gateway` when you need to test Gateway routing, agent-runtime setup, or Gateway-managed provider state while keeping the model input raw. Use `openclaw agent` or chat surfaces when you want the full agent context, tools, memory, and session transcript.

+`allowedChatIds` is an explicit allowlist of resolved conversation ids. When it
+is non-empty, Active Memory only runs when the session's conversation id is in

+`deniedChatIds` is an explicit denylist. It always wins over

+copy-pasteable report for support:
+
+1. Send `/diagnostics` in the conversation where you noticed the problem. Add a
+   short note if it helps, for example `/diagnostics bad tool choice`.
+2. OpenClaw sends the diagnostics preamble and asks for one explicit exec

+3. After approval, OpenClaw replies with a pasteable report containing the local
+   bundle path, manifest summary, privacy notes, and relevant session ids.

+In group chats, an owner can still run `/diagnostics`, but OpenClaw does not
+post the diagnostic details back into the shared chat. It sends the preamble,
+approval prompts, Gateway export result, and Codex session/thread breakdown to
+the owner through the private approval route. The group only gets a short notice
+that the diagnostics flow was sent privately. If OpenClaw cannot find a private
+owner route, the command fails closed and asks the owner to run it from a DM.
+
+When the active OpenClaw session is using the native OpenAI Codex harness,
+the same exec approval also covers an OpenAI feedback upload for the Codex
+runtime threads OpenClaw knows about. That upload is separate from the local
+Gateway zip and appears only for Codex harness sessions. Before approval, the
+prompt explains that approving diagnostics will also send Codex feedback, but it
+does not list Codex session or thread ids. After approval, the chat reply lists
+the channels, OpenClaw session ids, Codex thread ids, and local resume commands
+for the threads that were sent to OpenAI servers. If you deny or ignore the
+approval, OpenClaw does not run the export, does not send Codex feedback, and
+does not print the Codex ids.
+
+That makes the common Codex debugging loop short: notice the bad behavior in
+Telegram, Discord, or another channel, run `/diagnostics`, approve once, share
+the report with support, then run the printed `codex resume <thread-id>` command
+locally if you want to inspect the native Codex thread yourself. See

 - OpenAI-compatible backends that front self-hosted models sometimes preserve special tokens that appear in user text, instead of masking them.

 - Sanitization happens at the external-content wrapping layer, so it applies uniformly across fetch/read tools and inbound channel content rather than being per-provider.

+### Common debugging workflow
+
+When a Codex-backed agent does something surprising in Telegram, Discord, Slack,
+or another channel, start with the conversation where the problem happened:
+
+1. Run `/diagnostics bad tool choice after image upload` or another short note
+   that describes what you saw.
+2. Approve the diagnostics request once. The approval creates the local Gateway
+   diagnostics zip and, because the session is using the Codex harness, also
+   sends the relevant Codex feedback bundle to OpenAI servers.
+3. Copy the completed diagnostics reply into the bug report or support thread.
+   It includes the local bundle path, privacy summary, OpenClaw session ids,
+   Codex thread ids, and an `Inspect locally` line for each Codex thread.
+4. If you want to debug the run yourself, run the printed `Inspect locally`
+   command in a terminal. It looks like `codex resume <thread-id>` and opens the
+   native Codex thread so you can inspect the conversation, continue it locally,
+   or ask Codex why it chose a particular tool or plan.
+
+Use `/codex diagnostics [note]` only when you specifically want the Codex
+feedback upload for the currently attached thread without the full OpenClaw
+Gateway diagnostics bundle. For most support reports, `/diagnostics [note]` is
+the better starting point because it ties the local Gateway state and Codex
+thread ids together in one reply. See [Diagnostics export](/gateway/diagnostics)
+for the full privacy model and group-chat behavior.
+
+Core OpenClaw also exposes owner-only `/diagnostics [note]` as the general
+Gateway diagnostics command. Its approval prompt shows the sensitive-data
+preamble, links to [Diagnostics Export](/gateway/diagnostics), and requests
+`openclaw gateway diagnostics export --json` through explicit exec approval
+every time. Do not approve diagnostics with an allow-all rule. After approval,
+OpenClaw sends a pasteable report with the local bundle path and manifest
+summary. When the active OpenClaw session is using the Codex harness, that
+same approval also authorizes sending the relevant Codex feedback bundles to
+OpenAI servers. The approval prompt says that Codex feedback will be sent, but
+it does not list Codex session or thread ids before approval.
+
+If `/diagnostics` is invoked by an owner in a group chat, OpenClaw keeps the
+shared channel clean: the group receives only a short notice, while the
+diagnostics preamble, approval prompts, and Codex session/thread ids are sent to
+the owner through the private approval route. If there is no private owner route,
+OpenClaw refuses the group request and asks the owner to run it from a DM.
+
+The approved Codex upload calls Codex app-server `feedback/upload` and asks
+app-server to include logs for each listed thread and spawned Codex subthreads
+when available. The upload goes through Codex's normal feedback path to OpenAI
+servers; if Codex feedback is disabled in that app-server, the command returns
+the app-server error. The completed diagnostics reply lists the channels,
+OpenClaw session ids, Codex thread ids, and local `codex resume <thread-id>`
+commands for the threads that were sent. If you deny or ignore the approval,
+OpenClaw does not print those Codex ids. This upload does not replace the local
+Gateway diagnostics export.
+
 `/codex resume` writes the same sidecar binding file that the harness uses for
 normal turns. On the next message, OpenClaw resumes that Codex thread, passes the
 currently selected OpenClaw model into app-server, and keeps extended history
 enabled.
 
+### Inspect a Codex thread from the CLI
+
+The fastest way to understand a bad Codex run is often to open the native Codex
+thread directly:
+
+```sh
+codex resume <thread-id>
+```
+
+Use this when you notice a bug in a channel conversation and want to inspect the
+problematic Codex session, continue it locally, or ask Codex why it made a
+particular tool or reasoning choice. The easiest path is usually to run
+`/diagnostics [note]` first: after you approve it, the completed report lists
+each Codex thread and prints an `Inspect locally` command, for example
+`codex resume <thread-id>`. You can copy that command directly into a terminal.
+
+You can also get a thread id from `/codex binding` for the current chat or
+`/codex threads [filter]` for recent Codex app-server threads, then run the same
+`codex resume` command in your shell.
+
 The command surface requires Codex app-server `0.125.0` or newer. Individual
 control methods are reported as `unsupported by this Codex app-server` if a
 future or custom app-server does not expose that JSON-RPC method.
