fix(sqlite): support Node 23.0–23.10 runtimes lacking StatementSync.columns()

node:sqlite added StatementSync.columns() in v22.16/v23.11, but it is absent on
Node 23.0–23.10 — runtimes that still satisfy engines (>=22.19.0). The Kysely
sync and driver execute paths called it unconditionally, so a post-upgrade
`openclaw doctor` crashed the plugin install index and task registry/flow
sidecar migrations with "statement.columns is not a function".

Centralize a single executeCompiledQuerySync that feature-detects columns() and,
when absent, classifies result-returning statements from the compiled query
shape. Collapses the previously duplicated sync/driver execute logic into one
path.

Fixes #90007

 - For security-audit suppression changes, verify accepted findings remain auditable: suppressed findings stay in structured output, active output keeps an unsuppressible suppression notice, and aggregate findings cannot hide unrelated active risk.

 ### Highlights
 
-- Agents and CLI-backed runtimes recover more cleanly from interrupted tool calls, stale session bindings, compaction handoffs, and media delivery retries. (#88129, #88136, #88141, #88162, #88182)
-- Channels and mobile delivery are steadier across Telegram, WhatsApp, iMessage, Slack, Discord, Microsoft Teams, Google Chat, Google Meet, and iOS realtime Talk. (#88096, #88105, #88183, #88231)
-- Provider and plugin requests now bound more timers, retries, OAuth/device-code lifetimes, media downloads, local service probes, and generated-content polling paths before they can hang a run.
-- Skills, session metadata, gateway runtime state, plugin metadata, and store writes do less repeated work on hot paths while keeping config and dispatch behavior stable.
-- Skills and plugin loading now handle stale disabled snapshots and loader failures more clearly, so channel turns avoid disabled SecretRefs and operators get better recovery guidance. (#79072, #79173) Thanks @zeus1959.
-- Workboard, SecretRef plugin manifests, hosted iOS push relay, and external Copilot/Tokenjuice packaging add broader orchestration, integration, and plugin delivery surfaces. (#82326, #87469, #87796, #88107, #88117)
-- Skill Workshop now has a fuller Control UI flow with proposal lists, today actions, revision handoff, searchable file previews, review states, locale coverage, and reusable session routing.
-- Chat and Control UI startup paths keep sends alive through history loading, stream deltas incrementally, skip markdown work while streaming, keep drafts local while typing, trace first-output latency, and expose calmer composer controls. (#88772, #88825, #88998) Thanks @vincentkoc.
-- Provider coverage and model metadata now include MiniMax M3, account OAuth endpoints, Google/Vertex catalog fixes, OpenRouter SQLite model caching, Copilot Claude 1M capabilities, Foundry reasoning alignment, and OpenAI response replay guards. (#88480, #88512, #88851, #88860)
-- iMessage monitor state, inbound queues, and plugin install ledgers moved toward SQLite-backed state so restarts and local monitors recover with less duplicate filesystem scanning. (#88794, #88797)
-- Release, CI, Docker, E2E, plugin install, and diagnostics lanes now cap more logs, response bodies, readiness probes, artifact checks, status polling, and rollback snapshots so failures report bounded proof instead of stalling.
+- Plugin and skill installs now use an operator install policy instead of the old dangerous-code scanner path, with clearer doctor, CLI, ClawHub, and troubleshooting surfaces for package, archive, source, upload, and marketplace installs. (#89516) Thanks @joshavant.
+- Telegram, Feishu, Discord, WhatsApp, and outbound delivery paths got safer around duplicate transcript mirrors, Telegram admin writeback, streamed-final previews, approval allowlists, setup runtime state, poll modifiers, Discord voice errors, and internal progress traces. (#88973, #89626, #89812, #89035, #89814, #89813, #89601) Thanks @pgondhi987, @Petru2224, @zhangguiping-xydt, @codezz, and @takhoffman.
+- Chat, Control UI, Skill Workshop, Workboard, Android companion shell, and WebChat flows now preserve visible streaming text, reconcile completed sends, expose ACK timing, add Workboard keyboard movement, harden dialog accessibility, lazy-load usage views, keep current chat toggles working, and improve Android companion-first shell navigation. (#89801, #89777, #89802) Thanks @vincentkoc.
+- Security, policy, and config recovery now reject corrupt shell snapshots, unsupported policy keys, unsafe exec approval precheck environments, malformed script limits, and suspicious gateway startup configs while adding data-handling conformance checks. (#89701, #87074, #81488, #87056, #89480) Thanks @RomneyDa, @giodl73-repo, and @mmaps.
+- Gateway, agent, Codex, provider, model, and memory paths now recover session write-lock release failures, abandoned Codex app-server startups, stream-to-parent ACP spawns, custom-provider runtime fanout, bundled provider aliases, prompt-cache boundaries, Gemini stop sequences, Kimi cache markers, and watcher pressure warnings. (#89811, #89244) Thanks @RomneyDa and @takhoffman.
+- Release, CI, Docker, Crabbox/Testbox, package, and E2E validation lanes now bound more network calls, malformed numeric limits, process groups, cleanup leaks, package hydration paths, Windows installer publishing, release asset verification, and log drains so failures produce bounded proof instead of hanging.
 
 ### Changes
 
-- Docs: add a dedicated Skill Workshop guide covering governed skill creation, reviewable proposals, CLI, Gateway, agent tool behavior, approval policy, support files, and recovery. Thanks @shakkernerd.
+- Plugins/security: replace dangerous-code scanner enforcement with operator install policy, install-policy context, doctor checks, install/update CLI wiring, ClawHub metadata paths, and package/archive/source/upload lifecycle coverage. (#89516) Thanks @joshavant.
+- Policy: add data-handling conformance checks and reject unsupported policy keys. (#87056, #87074) Thanks @giodl73-repo.
+- Telegram/channels: show commentary and reasoning in progress drafts, share progress draft compositors across channel plugins, and keep Telegram polling stop/reset boundaries cheaper and more reliable.
+- UI/mobile: add Workboard keyboard movement controls, tighten Workboard card operations, improve Android companion-first shell UX, and document chat ACK timing metadata. (#89802) Thanks @vincentkoc.
+- Release metadata: align the root package, publishable plugin manifests, generated shrinkwraps, appcast, iOS, Android, macOS, Matrix plugin changelog, and docs/generated baselines with the 2026.6.2 beta train.
+- Release/packaging: promote Windows node installer publishing, require verified Windows release asset links, and document GitHub release-note edits.
+- Docs: refresh Windows Hub setup guidance and document Gateway, CLI, and plugin SDK helper contracts.
+
+### Fixes
+
+- Channels/outbound: keep channel sends durable when transcript mirroring fails, stop schema-padded poll modifiers from blocking normal sends, preserve WebChat `sessions_send` handoffs, preserve Discord channel-label suppression while hiding internal agent failure traces, match Discord libopus error shapes, and sanitize Discord tool progress scaffolding. (#89626, #89812, #89601) Thanks @Petru2224, @codezz, and @takhoffman.
+- Telegram/Feishu: require admin rights for Telegram target writeback, keep Telegram DM exec approval allowlists working with `ask:off`, prevent Telegram preview duplication across streaming modes, isolate verbose status after streamed finals, cancel clean restart stop timers, slow polling restart storms, and wire Feishu setup runtime setters. (#88973, #89035, #89813, #89814) Thanks @pgondhi987, @zhangguiping-xydt, and @takhoffman.
+- Chat/UI/Gateway: preserve visible chat stream text, clear stale stream buffers before terminal commits, reconcile completed sends, scroll pending sends into view, harden Workboard dialog accessibility, stabilize WebChat prompt-cache affinity, overlap chat catalog startup, render chat history incrementally, lazy-load usage dashboard, and report gateway health auth diagnostics. (#89337) Thanks @RomneyDa.
+- Agents/Codex/providers/models: release session write locks when prompt-release fence reads fail, retire abandoned Codex app-server startups, keep stream-to-parent ACP spawns registered, close Codex startup clients on timeout, recover bundled provider aliases, avoid custom-provider runtime fanout, preserve provider prompt-cache boundaries, forward Gemini stop sequences, and strip Kimi-incompatible Anthropic cache markers. (#89811) Thanks @takhoffman.
+- Memory/build/update: warn after startup watcher pressure checks, externalize optional Baileys image backends, restore and pin Canvas A2UI compatibility assets, keep plugin repair fetch failures nonblocking, restore Skill Workshop view switching, and keep the current chat toggle active after awaited session switches. (#89244) Thanks @RomneyDa.
+- Security/config/tooling: reject corrupt shell snapshots, suspicious gateway startup configs, malformed release/test/tooling/Docker/perf numeric limits, oversized audit responses, unsafe exec precheck env, and invalid pending-agent SQLite scaffold denials. (#89701, #89705, #89480, #81488) Thanks @RomneyDa and @mmaps.
+- Release/CI/E2E: restore package changelog extraction after the post-2026.6.1 version bump, keep hydrated pnpm modules under `node_modules` for ARM/Linux package lifecycle scripts, keep OpenAI live-cache prerequisites advisory while Anthropic prerequisites stay blocking, retry Windows Parallels background log appends on transient file-lock errors, bound candidate GitHub and cross-OS Discord fetches, harden ARM smoke/browser checks, show Docker build heartbeats, reset Crabbox pnpm hydrate state, and isolate Testbox/Docker/release journey artifacts.

+<h3>Highlights</h3>
+<ul>
+<li>Agents and CLI-backed runtimes recover more cleanly from interrupted tool calls, stale session bindings, compaction handoffs, and media delivery retries. (#88129, #88136, #88141, #88162, #88182)</li>
+<li>Channels and mobile delivery are steadier across Telegram, WhatsApp, iMessage, Slack, Discord, Microsoft Teams, Google Chat, Google Meet, and iOS realtime Talk. (#88096, #88105, #88183, #88231)</li>
+<li>Provider and plugin requests now bound more timers, retries, OAuth/device-code lifetimes, media downloads, local service probes, and generated-content polling paths before they can hang a run.</li>
+<li>Skills, session metadata, gateway runtime state, plugin metadata, memory watchers, and store writes do less repeated work on hot paths while keeping config, dispatch, and Linux file-watch behavior stable. (#89185, #89188, #85351) Thanks @RomneyDa and @NianJiuZst.</li>
+<li>Skills and plugin loading now handle stale disabled snapshots and loader failures more clearly, so channel turns avoid disabled SecretRefs and operators get better recovery guidance. (#79072, #79173) Thanks @zeus1959.</li>
+<li>Workboard, SecretRef plugin manifests, hosted iOS push relay, and external Copilot/Tokenjuice packaging add broader orchestration, integration, and plugin delivery surfaces. (#82326, #87469, #87796, #88107, #88117)</li>
+<li>Skill Workshop now has a fuller Control UI flow with proposal lists, today actions, revision handoff, searchable file previews, review states, locale coverage, and reusable session routing.</li>
+<li>Chat and Control UI startup paths keep sends alive through history loading, stream deltas incrementally, skip markdown work while streaming, keep drafts local while typing, clear the composer after sends, trace first-output latency, prioritize first connect, and expose calmer composer controls. (#88772, #88825, #88998, #89030, #89106) Thanks @vincentkoc and @sallyom.</li>
+<li>Provider coverage and model metadata now include MiniMax M3, account OAuth endpoints, Google/Vertex catalog fixes, OpenRouter SQLite model caching, Copilot Claude 1M capabilities, Foundry reasoning alignment, and OpenAI response replay guards. (#88480, #88512, #88851, #88860)</li>
+<li>iMessage monitor state, inbound queues, and plugin install ledgers moved toward SQLite-backed state so restarts and local monitors recover with less duplicate filesystem scanning. (#88794, #88797)</li>
+<li>Release, CI, Docker, E2E, plugin install, and diagnostics lanes now cap more logs, response bodies, readiness probes, artifact checks, status polling, child workflow waits, docker package cleanup, quiet test stalls, and rollback snapshots so failures report bounded proof instead of stalling. (#88966) Thanks @RomneyDa.</li>
+</ul>
+<h3>Changes</h3>
+<ul>

+<h3>Fixes</h3>
+<ul>
+<li>Release/CI/E2E: fail early when Crabbox sparse-sync full checkouts do not have enough local disk, with guidance for moving the sync root.</li>
+<li>Build: render independent CLI startup metadata help snapshots concurrently to cut cold build-all metadata time.</li>
+<li>Plugins: stop timed-out package-boundary prep steps by process group so descendant TypeScript/helper processes do not survive local check cleanup.</li>
+<li>Control UI: serve static assets asynchronously after safe-open checks so large UI files do not block Gateway request handling.</li>
+<li>Scripts/UI: forward direct wrapper SIGHUP shutdown to child processes so terminal hangups do not leave wrapped dev commands running.</li>
+<li>Gateway: return the post-expiration pending-work revision from node drains so reconnecting nodes do not observe stale queue revisions after expired items are pruned.</li>
+<li>Release/CI/E2E: keep temporary full-sync checkouts alive while slow Crabbox leases boot, so sparse worktree runs do not lose their sync source before file-list generation.</li>
+<li>Release/CI/E2E: normalize inherited Linux <code>C.UTF-8</code> locale settings before raw AWS macOS Crabbox bootstrap commands, avoiding macOS locale warnings during package-manager hydration.</li>
+<li>Release/CI/E2E: keep gateway watch regression checks from copying large static plugin assets inside the measured idle window.</li>
+<li>Update: keep core updates nonblocking when a missing external plugin repair download stalls, while still blocking installed active plugin payload smoke failures.</li>
+<li>Agents/providers: keep streaming tool-call argument parsing record-shaped when providers emit valid non-object JSON such as <code>null</code> or arrays.</li>
+<li>Release/CI/E2E: reset incremental log readers when watched log files rotate without shrinking, so same-size replacements do not hide new readiness or RPC lines.</li>
+<li>Talk: preserve explicit <code>null</code> payloads on controller-created turn and output-audio lifecycle events.</li>
+<li>Agents/TUI: keep local custom provider runs from loading plugin runtime and auth alias metadata when plugins are disabled.</li>
+<li>Agents/TUI: restore in-flight TUI run switch-back behavior, keep no-policy native hook fallback available, guard vanished workspaces, and keep lightweight isolated subagents lightweight.</li>
+<li>Agents/media: keep async image, music, and video generation starts from ending the Codex turn, so mixed requests can continue with summaries or other work while media renders in the background.</li>

-<h3>Highlights</h3>
-<ul>
-<li>Faster Gateway and replies: startup avoids repeated plugin, channel, session, usage-cost, warning, scheduled-service, and filesystem scans; visible replies separate user-facing sends from slower follow-up work; Gateway runtime/session caches churn less under load.</li>
-<li>Transcripts are core: transcript-backed meeting summaries, source-provider chunks, cleaned user turns, media provenance, Codex mirrors, WebChat replies, and CLI/TUI replay now use one more reliable transcript path.</li>
-<li>More channels are production-ready: Telegram keeps typing/progress context and forum topics, iMessage handles attachment roots, remote media staging, and duplicate local Messages sources, WhatsApp restores group/media behavior, Discord improves voice playback and model picking, and Signal/iMessage/WhatsApp get reaction approvals.</li>
-<li>Better voice and Talk: realtime Talk runs can be inspected, steered, cancelled, or followed up from Web UI and Discord voice; wake-name handling is more tolerant without letting ambient speech trigger agents.</li>
-<li>Safer content boundaries: Browser snapshot reads honor SSRF policy, system-event text cannot spoof nested prompt markers, fetched file text is wrapped as external content, ClickClack inbound sender allowlists run before agent dispatch, stale device tokens are rejected, and serialized tool-call text is scrubbed from replies.</li>
-<li>Providers, Codex, and local models are steadier: named auth profiles, OpenAI sampling params, Codex app-server resume/timeout/usage-limit recovery, dynamic tool-schema guards, xAI usage-limit surfacing, Ollama top-p normalization, and local approval resolution reduce provider-specific dead ends.</li>
-<li>More reliable install/update/release paths: Alpine installs, trusted runtime fallback roots, stable update channels, Docker/package timeouts, Windows Scheduled Tasks, Windows/macOS proof lanes, Testbox/Crabbox delegation, plugin publish checks, and macOS runner bootstraps all got hardened.</li>
-<li>Better observability: Activity tab, gateway secret-prep traces, tool/model stream progress, explicit fast-mode status, systemd Gateway hygiene, OpenTelemetry LLM spans, release performance evidence, and richer telemetry signals make failures easier to inspect.</li>
-</ul>
-<h3>Changes</h3>
-<ul>
-<li>Transcripts: add core transcript capture and source-provider support for transcript-backed meeting summaries, including the renamed Transcripts docs, CLI surface, source-provider chunks, and cleaned user-turn persistence.</li>
-<li>Auth: add named model login profiles and supported credential migration for Hermes, OpenCode, and Codex auth profiles, with explicit opt-out and non-interactive controls. (#85667) Thanks @fuller-stack-dev.</li>
-<li>Diagnostics: trace gateway secret preparation, classify skill/tool usage, surface model stream progress, add OpenTelemetry LLM content spans, and expose alertable telemetry for blocked tools, failover, stale sessions, liveness, oversized payloads, and webhook ingress. (#83019, #80370, #86191)</li>
-<li>Channels: add Signal reaction approvals, iMessage thumb approval reactions, and WhatsApp thumb approval reaction support so mobile approval flows work without textual <code>/approve</code> commands. (#85894, #85952, #85477)</li>
-<li>Agents/API: forward OpenAI sampling params through the Gateway and expose estimated context-budget status for active agent runs. (#84094)</li>
-<li>TUI/status: queue prompts submitted while an agent is busy and show explicit fast-mode state plus richer systemd Gateway hygiene in status output. (#86722, #87115, #86976)</li>
-<li>Exec approvals: hide durable approval actions that are unavailable for the current prompt and keep approval runtime tokens local-only so stale prompts cannot offer misleading controls. (#86270, #86359)</li>
-<li>Plugin SDK: add reaction approval helpers and keep diagnostic event root exports discoverable across function-name and alias-bound module graphs. (#86735, #87084)</li>
-<li>Android/iOS: add the Android pair-new-gateway action and improve mobile Talk mode surfaces, including iOS realtime Talk mode and Android offline voice/gateway recovery. (#86798, #86355) Thanks @ngutman.</li>
-<li>Performance: cache plugin metadata snapshots, package realpaths, stable gateway metadata, model cost indexes, channel resolution, usage-cost indexes, and session/auth hot-path facts so common Gateway and reply paths do less rediscovery. (#84649, #85843, #86517, #86678)</li>
-<li>Voice: expose shared realtime turn-context tracking through the realtime voice SDK and reuse it for Discord speaker attribution and wake-name context recovery.</li>
-<li>Voice: reuse shared realtime output activity tracking in Google Meet command and node audio bridges, including recent-output checks for local barge-in detection.</li>
-<li>Voice: expose shared realtime output activity tracking through the realtime voice SDK and reuse it for Discord playback activity and barge-in decisions.</li>
-<li>Voice: expose shared realtime consult question matching, speakable-result extraction, and alias-aware forced-consult coordination through the realtime voice SDK, then reuse it in Gateway Talk, Voice Call, and Discord voice paths.</li>
-<li>Voice: share activation-name matching and consult-transcript screening through the realtime voice SDK so Discord, browser voice, and meeting surfaces can reuse one implementation.</li>
-<li>Cron: default <code>cron.maxConcurrentRuns</code> to 8 so scheduled automations and their isolated agent turns can make progress in parallel without explicit configuration.</li>
-<li>QA-Lab: add <code>qa coverage --match <query></code> so focused proof selection can discover matching scenarios from existing metadata before running live or remote lanes.</li>
-<li>Discord/model picker: surface an alpha-bucket select (e.g. <code>A–G (12) · H–N (18) · O–Z (5)</code>) when the provider list or a provider's model list exceeds 25 items, so configs with <code>provider/*</code> wildcards stay one click from the right page instead of paginating through prev/next; falls back to numeric chunks when every item shares the same first letter.</li>
-<li>Control UI: add an ephemeral Activity tab for sanitized live tool activity summaries without persisting raw telemetry. Fixes #12831. Thanks @BunsDev.</li>
-<li>Build: include <code>ui:build</code> in the <code>full</code> and <code>ciArtifacts</code> profiles of <code>scripts/build-all.mjs</code> so <code>pnpm build</code> always rebuilds <code>dist/control-ui</code> after <code>tsdown</code> cleans <code>dist</code>, removing the second-command requirement and the missing-asset failure mode for source/runtime installs and CI artifact uploads. (#85206)</li>
-<li>iOS: improve Talk mode with direct realtime voice sessions, compact toolbar status, and responsive voice waveform feedback. (#86355) Thanks @ngutman.</li>
-<li>Media: replace the Sharp image backend with Rastermill for metadata, resizing, EXIF orientation, and PNG alpha-preserving optimization so OpenClaw no longer installs Sharp or the WhatsApp Jimp fallback for image processing. (#86437)</li>
-<li>Codex: update the bundled Codex CLI to 0.134.0 and keep native compaction disabled for budget-triggered app-server turns so OpenClaw owns the recovery boundary. (#86772)</li>
-</ul>
-<h3>Fixes</h3>
-<ul>
-<li>Memory/security: reject prompt-like text submitted through the explicit <code>memory_store</code> tool before embedding or storage, matching the existing auto-capture prompt-injection filter. (#87142)</li>
-<li>Gateway/security: enable the default auth rate limiter for remote non-browser and HTTP gateway auth failures when <code>gateway.auth.rateLimit</code> is unset, while preserving the loopback exemption. (#87148)</li>
-<li>Security/content boundaries: validate Browser snapshot tab URLs against SSRF policy before ChromeMCP or direct CDP reads, sanitize queued system-event text so untrusted plugin/channel labels cannot spoof nested prompt markers, wrap fetched file text and metadata as external content, apply ClickClack <code>allowFrom</code> sender allowlists before agent dispatch, reject RPCs from invalidated device-token clients during rotation, require staged sandbox media refs, and scrub serialized tool-call text from replies. (#78526, #87094, #87062, #83741, #70707, #86924) Thanks @zsxsoft, @ttzero25, and @mmaps.</li>
-<li>Transcripts/user turns: persist CLI, WebChat, media, follow-up, hook, and Codex-mirror user turns to the admitted session target; keep cleaned transcript text, inline image routing, provenance metadata, replay hooks, and fallback paths idempotent when runtimes fail or restart.</li>
-<li>TUI/status/onboarding/UI: queue busy TUI prompts instead of dropping them, preserve the configured default model during onboarding, show failed tool results as errors, show config-open failures in Control UI, keep status JSON plugin scans healthy, preserve xAI usage-limit errors locally, and expose explicit fast-mode/systemd state. (#86722, #87000, #85786, #87108, #87001, #86614, #87115, #86976)</li>
-<li>Plugin commands/SDK: preserve plugin LLM command auth, bind native plugin command dispatch to the host agent's LLM auth, keep <code>onDiagnosticEvent</code> exports discoverable through <code>Function.name</code>, stabilize diagnostic event root aliases, correlate pathless read diagnostics, suppress transient runner failures in channel command paths, and repair local approval resolution. (#85936, #87084, #86977, #87069, #86771)</li>
-<li>Codex/providers: keep WebChat delivery hints out of user prompts, avoid false queued-terminal idle timeouts, share the native hook relay registry, quarantine unsupported dynamic tool schemas, preserve Claude resumed-session system prompts, normalize greedy Ollama <code>top_p</code>, preserve per-agent thinking defaults for ingress runs, and avoid native compaction takeover on budget-triggered Codex turns. (#87096, #73950, #87049, #86689, #86772)</li>
-<li>Gateway/perf/release: reuse startup-warning metadata and prepared auth stores, avoid cloning live-switch and lifecycle session caches on read paths, defer warning and scheduled-service fallback imports, trim Gateway session/startup/runtime CPU churn, skip duplicate turn session touches, stop chat timeout fallback cascades, drop stale subagent announce history, bound benchmark/watch/kitchen-sink teardown waits, bound macOS/package/onboarding/plugin smoke commands, bound install finalization probes, resolve Parallels npm-update commands from guest <code>PATH</code>, and bootstrap raw AWS macOS Node/pnpm commands through <code>/usr/bin/env</code>. (#86997)</li>
-<li>Reply/perf: reduce visible reply delivery latency by preserving Telegram typing/progress context, lazy-loading slash-command startup metadata, avoiding hot-path model hydration, flag-gating Codex profiler timing, deferring context compaction maintenance, and tracking delivery timing. (#86989, #86990, #86991, #86992, #86993, #86994) Thanks @keshavbotagent.</li>
-<li>Reply/source delivery: keep TUI, Control UI, media, TTS, transcript, and Codex source-reply finals live without duplicate terminal events or stale replay artifacts.</li>
-<li>Agents/replay: repair legacy tool results before replay, preserve <code>sessions_spawn</code> transcript payloads, restore current guard checks, stage sandboxed workspace media, and keep duplicate transcripts tool display metadata from reappearing. (#82203, #86934, #87025) Thanks @martingarramon, @vincentkoc, and @joshavant.</li>
-<li>Agents/sessions: handle active-fallback failures in <code>sessions_send</code> so fallback routing reports the real failure and does not leave callers with an ambiguous dropped send. (#86638)</li>
-<li>Agents/hooks/subagents: enforce default hook agent allowlists, recover failed subagent lifecycle completions, and keep node task lifecycle cleanup from closing the Gateway listener. (#86101)</li>
-<li>Codex: project newer OpenClaw chat history into resumed app-server threads and keep Codex turn timeouts inside the Codex runtime boundary so timeouts do not poison shared app-server clients or fall through to unrelated provider fallback. (#86677, #86476) Thanks @TurboTheTurtle and @pashpashpash.</li>
-<li>Config/doctor/update: narrow profiled tool-section doctor repair, keep runtime-injected legacy web-search provider config out of user-authored config validation, and keep prerelease tags excluded from stable updater resolution. (#87030, #86818, #86559) Thanks @joshavant, @luoyanglang, and @stevenepalmer.</li>
-<li>CLI/Windows: add a Windows-only stack-size respawn for stack-heavy startup paths, default CLI logs to local timestamps, and validate timeout/banner TTY state more strictly. (#87031, #85387) Thanks @giodl73-repo and @vincentkoc.</li>
-<li>Locking/security: require owner identity proof before stale plugin lock removal, memoize session lock owner arguments, and avoid writing default exec approval stores unless policy state actually changed. (#86814, #86964) Thanks @Alix-007 and @vincentkoc.</li>
-<li>Install/release: bound Docker package build, inventory, pack, and tarball preparation with process-group timeouts; pin shrinkwrap patch drift to the pnpm lock; harden macOS restart and dSYM packaging; and run release Docker/live timeout wrappers in the foreground so child processes cannot wedge gates.</li>
-<li>Telegram/network: treat <code>ENETDOWN</code> as a transient pre-connect network failure so Telegram sends, gateway unhandled-rejection handling, and cron network retries follow the same recovery path as sibling network outages. (#86762) Thanks @TurboTheTurtle.</li>
-<li>Telegram: preserve inbound text entities, overlapping DM replies, account topic cache sidecars, outbound reply context, targeted bot-command mentions, durable group retry targets, forum topic names, and native progress callbacks. (#83873, #85361, #85555, #85656, #85709, #86299, #86553) Thanks @SebTardif, @luoyanglang, and @neeravmakwana.</li>
-<li>iMessage: read image attachments from local Messages attachment roots, dedupe duplicate local Messages-source accounts, seed direct DM history, fix image/group media attachment commands, advance catchup cursors after live handling, and keep slash-command acknowledgements in the source conversation. (#82642, #85475, #86569, #86705, #86706, #86770) Thanks @homer-byte, @TurboTheTurtle, @swang430, and @OmarShahine.</li>
-<li>WhatsApp/QQ/Twitch/IRC/Slack: restore WhatsApp ack identity and group-drop warnings, make QQ Bot media respect <code>OPENCLAW_HOME</code>, serialize Twitch auth disconnects, store IRC channel routes canonically, and keep Slack downloaded files out of reply media. (#83833, #85309, #85777, #85794, #85906, #86318, #86697) Thanks @sliverp, @neeravmakwana, and @Kailigithub.</li>
-<li>Discord/voice: improve voice playback and wake replies, bucket large model picker menus, merge media captions into one message, route metadata through configured proxies, restore numeric channel sends, suppress self-reply echoes, and tighten wake matching without breaking fuzzy wake phrases. (#80227, #86238, #86487, #86571, #86595, #86601)</li>
-<li>Codex: preserve native web-search metadata, keep oversized native thread reuse, bridge CLI API-key auth into the app server, preserve sandbox bootstrap path style, recover context-window prompt errors, honor yolo approval policy, disable native thread personality, and route compaction through Codex auth. (#85378, #85542, #85891, #85909, #86408)</li>
-<li>Agents/runtime: enforce session lock max-hold reclaim, release embedded-attempt locks on all exits, treat aborted subagent runs as terminal, avoid runtime model hydration on hot paths, disclose scoped session list counts, derive overflow budgets from provider errors, and keep fallback errors scoped to the active model candidate. (#70473, #85764, #86014, #86134, #86427, #86944) Thanks @openperf, @fuller-stack-dev, @zhangguiping-xydt, and @ferminquant.</li>
-<li>Config/update/doctor: retry config recovery after failed backup restore, skip shell env fallback on Windows, exclude prerelease tags from the stable git channel, support deep config edits, warn instead of aborting on unreadable cron stores, prune stale bundled plugin paths, and avoid duplicate restart prompts when the Gateway is already healthy. (#85739, #85787, #86060, #86260, #86384, #86533) Thanks @liaoyl830.</li>
-<li>Install/release: support Alpine CLI installs and runtime floors, prefer trusted startup argv runtime fallback roots, reject stale CLI node runtimes, avoid npm <code>min-release-age</code> installer failures, bound npm/package/Docker install phases, restore config parent ownership in Docker, seed Docker lockfile package tarballs before prune, make release/plugin prerelease checks fail closed instead of hanging or false-greening, and use host-visible Crabbox local work roots for Docker-backed proof. (#85491)</li>
-<li>Windows daemon: keep Scheduled Task gateway launches running on battery power and avoid workgroup-machine prompts for a domain user during task installation. (#59299)</li>
-<li>Security: avoid printing Gateway tokens in Docker, validate plugin model-pattern regexes safely, escape transcript metadata field names, harden session allowlist glob matching, audit Claude permission overrides under YOLO, and require explicit allow for ACP auto approvals. (#85849, #85934, #86046, #86557)</li>
-<li>Media/images: replace Sharp with Rastermill, keep EXIF normalization best-effort, normalize HEIC/HEIF before image descriptions, route Codex image API keys through OpenAI, preserve image compression metadata, and auto-scale live tool result caps. (#85776, #86037, #86437, #86857, #86923)</li>
-<li>Memory: prevent semantic vector indexes from silently degrading when embeddings are unavailable, stop doctor OOMs on large session stores, preserve sidecar hooks/artifacts, write fallback dream diaries, use CJK-aware dreaming dedupe, and avoid per-file watcher FD fan-out. (#80613, #82928, #85060, #85704, #85967, #86701) Thanks @brokemac79, @openperf, and @yaaboo-gif.</li>
-<li>Agents/sessions: include visibility metadata on restricted <code>sessions_list</code> results so scoped counts are clearly reported without widening access or exposing hidden-session counts. (#86944) Thanks @ferminquant.</li>
-<li>Gateway/DNS: validate wide-area discovery domains before deriving zone paths or writing zone files, so invalid <code>discovery.wideArea.domain</code> and <code>dns setup --domain</code> values fail with a DNS-name diagnostic instead of falling through to unrelated configuration errors. Thanks @mmaps.</li>
-<li>Agents/BTW: route fallback side-question streams through the embedded stream resolver so Anthropic-compatible MiniMax requests use the same capped transport as normal chat. (#86312) Thanks @neeravmakwana.</li>
-<li>Telegram: treat <code>/command@TargetBot</code> bot-command entities as explicit mentions for the addressed bot so <code>requireMention</code> groups no longer drop targeted commands or captions. Fixes #84462. (#86553) Thanks @luoyanglang.</li>
-<li>CI: bound Docker/Bash E2E tarball npm installs with <code>OPENCLAW_E2E_NPM_INSTALL_TIMEOUT</code> so package, onboarding, plugin, and upgrade lanes fail instead of hanging on a stuck npm install.</li>
-<li>CI: fail Parallels npm-update smoke jobs after the guest command timeout and cleanup backstop instead of only logging a timeout line.</li>
-<li>CI: bound kitchen-sink RPC HTTP probes so stalled gateway readiness or response bodies fail and retry instead of wedging the walker.</li>
-<li>CI: keep <code>OPENCLAW_TESTBOX=1 pnpm check:changed</code> delegating to Blacksmith Testbox through Crabbox without forwarding local Testbox or worker env into the remote command.</li>
-<li>CI: send KILL after the TERM grace period for manual checkout fetch timeouts so stuck Testbox and workflow checkout retries cannot hang behind a wedged <code>git fetch</code>.</li>
-<li>CI: send KILL after the TERM grace period for Bun global install smoke command timeouts so trapped <code>openclaw</code> child processes cannot wedge the scheduled install smoke.</li>
-<li>iMessage: thread current channel/account inbound attachment roots into the image tool so iMessage-saved attachments under <code>~/Library/Messages/Attachments</code> (including the wildcard <code>/Users/*/Library/Messages/Attachments</code> root) are read through the existing inbound path policy instead of being rejected as <code>path-not-allowed</code>. Literal <code>localRoots</code> stays workspace-scoped. Fixes #30170. (#86569)</li>
-<li>QQ Bot: respect <code>OPENCLAW_HOME</code> for outbound media path resolution so <code><qqmedia></code> sends no longer silently fail when <code>HOME</code> and <code>OPENCLAW_HOME</code> differ (Docker / multi-user hosts). Persisted QQ Bot data (sessions, known users, refs) stays anchored on the OS home for upgrade compatibility. Fixes #83562. Thanks @sliverp.</li>
-<li>Update: report the primary malformed <code>openclaw.extensions</code> payload error without adding a duplicate missing-main diagnostic. (#86596) Thanks @ferminquant.</li>
-<li>Control UI: keep host-local Markdown file paths inert while preserving app-relative links. (#86620) Thanks @BryanTegomoh.</li>
-<li>Gateway: dampen repeated unauthenticated device-required probes per URL while preserving explicit-auth and paired recovery paths. (#86575) Thanks @ferminquant.</li>
-<li>IRC: store inbound channel routes with the canonical <code>channel:#name</code> target and join transient channel sends before writing. (#85906) Thanks @Kailigithub.</li>
-<li>Usage: surface unknown all-zero model pricing as missing cost entries instead of a confident <code>$0</code> total. (#85882) Thanks @MichaelZelbel.</li>
-<li>Agents/Codex: honor yolo app-server approval policy only for the full <code>never</code> plus <code>danger-full-access</code> case. (#85909) Thanks @earlvanze.</li>
-<li>Gateway/Gmail: clear Gmail watcher renewal intervals on re-entry so hot reloads do not leak lifecycle timers. (#82947) Thanks @SebTardif.</li>
-<li>Logging: exit cleanly on broken stdout/stderr pipes without masking existing failure exit codes. (#80059) Thanks @pavelzak.</li>
-<li>Gateway/security: escape transcript metadata field names while extracting oversized session line prefixes. (#85934) Thanks @SebTardif.</li>
-<li>Plugins/security: validate manifest model pattern regexes with the safe-regex compiler so unsafe patterns are ignored before matching. (#86046) Thanks @SebTardif.</li>
-<li>Discord: route gateway metadata REST lookups through the configured Discord proxy so proxied accounts do not fall back to direct <code>discord.com</code> connections before opening the WebSocket. Fixes #80227. Thanks @Clivilwalker.</li>
-<li>Agents/media: hydrate current-turn image attachments from filename-derived MIME types so active vision can see generated or forwarded images whose source omitted an image content type. (#84812) Thanks @marchpure.</li>

-<li>Tests: clean successful plugin gateway gauntlet isolated temp roots while keeping an explicit preservation switch for failed/debug runs.</li>
-<li>Plugins/perf: reuse derived plugin metadata snapshots for the lifetime of the process so reply-time skill setup no longer rescans plugin metadata on every turn.</li>
-<li>Discord/OpenAI voice: keep wake-name master consults using the current speaker context after ignored ambient transcripts and shorten the default capture silence grace.</li>
-<li>Doctor: skip redundant Gateway restart prompts when a recent supervisor restart leaves the Gateway healthy. Fixes #86518. (#86533) Thanks @liaoyl830.</li>
-<li>Cron: restore suspended cron lanes to the configured/default concurrency instead of falling back to one after quota or circuit-breaker auto-resume.</li>
-<li>Gateway: keep session-only Control UI tool-start mirrors flowing during diagnostic queue pressure instead of silently dropping non-terminal tool updates.</li>
-<li>Agents/memory: return optional not-found context for missing date-only daily memory reads instead of logging benign first-run <code>ENOENT</code> failures. Fixes #82928. Thanks @galiniliev.</li>
-<li>Discord: merge streamed text captions into following media block replies so captions and attachments send as one message. (#86487) Thanks @neeravmakwana.</li>
-<li>Gateway: avoid sending duplicate tool-event frames to Control UI connections that are subscribed by both run and session.</li>
-<li>Discord/OpenAI voice: accept broader edge-position fuzzy wake-name transcripts while keeping ambient speech gated.</li>

-<li>Discord/OpenAI voice: accept leading fuzzy wake-name transcripts such as "Monty" or "Moti" for a Molty agent while keeping ambient speech gated.</li>
-<li>Media understanding: convert HEIC and HEIF images to JPEG before image description providers run so iPhone photos work in direct and configured image-description flows. (#86037)</li>
-<li>Agents: release embedded-attempt session locks from outer teardown so post-prompt exceptions cannot wedge later requests behind <code>SessionWriteLockTimeoutError</code>. Fixes #86014. Thanks @openperf.</li>
-<li>Discord/OpenAI voice: rotate Realtime sessions at provider max duration without logging the expected session-expiry event as an error.</li>
-<li>Sessions: skip metadata-only entries during QMD-slugified session lookup so one incomplete row does not block transcript hit resolution. (#86327) Thanks @abnershang.</li>
-<li>Agents/media: derive bundled plugin local-media trust from plugin tool metadata instead of importing the full plugin registry on subscription paths. (#84409) Thanks @samzong.</li>
-<li>Image tool: keep config-backed custom-provider API keys usable for auto-discovered vision models, including deferred image-tool execution without env keys or auth profiles. (#85733)</li>
-<li>Memory/local embeddings: run local GGUF embeddings in an isolated worker sidecar and degrade to configured fallback or keyword search on worker failure so native embedding crashes do not take down the Gateway. (#85348) Thanks @osolmaz.</li>

-<li>Agents/heartbeat: stop heartbeat turns after the first valid <code>heartbeat_respond</code> so repeated response loops do not burn tokens. (#86357) Thanks @udaymanish6.</li>
-<li>Tasks: keep retained lost tasks out of default status health counts, explain their cleanup window during maintenance, and prune lost task records after 24 hours instead of the general 7-day terminal retention.</li>
-<li>Memory-core: keep REM dreaming focused on live light-staged memories and mark staged entries as considered so old recall history no longer dominates fresh candidates. (#86302) Thanks @SebTardif.</li>
-<li>Memory: abort sync instead of downgrading an existing semantic vector index to FTS-only when the configured embedding provider is temporarily unavailable. (#85704) Thanks @yaaboo-gif.</li>
-<li>Telegram: propagate forum topic names through the account-scoped topic cache for native command context and topic create/edit actions. (#86299) Thanks @SebTardif.</li>
-<li>Slack: keep downloaded read-only files out of reply media so Slack file reads do not echo files back to the conversation. (#86318) Thanks @neeravmakwana.</li>
-<li>Cron: accept leading-plus relative durations such as <code>+5m</code> for one-shot <code>--at</code> schedules. (#86341) Thanks @mushuiyu886.</li>
-<li>Agents/media: preserve async-started media tool metadata so background generation starts no longer surface generic incomplete-turn warnings while replay stays unsafe. (#85933) Thanks @fuller-stack-dev.</li>
-<li>Docker E2E: dedupe scheduler lane resources so npm/service package lanes are not over-counted and serialized unnecessarily.</li>
-<li>QA/diagnostics: add a collector-backed OpenTelemetry smoke lane, make the OTLP payload leak check scenario-aware, and keep source QA builds from failing on optional dependency imports resolved through pnpm's temp module path.</li>
-<li>Crabbox: bootstrap Git metadata for sparse remote changed gates so raw synced workspaces can run <code>pnpm check:changed</code> from the intended diff.</li>
-<li>xAI/LM Studio: avoid buffering ordinary bracketed or <code>final</code> prose until stream completion while watching for plain-text tool-call fallbacks.</li>
-<li>Doctor: warn and continue when the cron job store exists but cannot be read so later health checks still run. Fixes #86102. (#86384) Thanks @1052326311.</li>
-<li>Discord: suppress a bot's previous reply body and referenced media from prompt context when a user replies to that bot message, while keeping reply metadata for routing. (#86238) Thanks @fuller-stack-dev.</li>
-<li>Discord: restore bare numeric channel IDs for outbound message-tool sends while keeping explicit DM targets unambiguous. (#86571) Thanks @joshavant.</li>
-<li>Docker E2E: avoid rebuilding the Control UI twice while preparing the shared OpenClaw package tarball for package-backed scenario runs.</li>
-<li>Tests: avoid rebuilding the Control UI twice during the installer Docker smoke now that <code>pnpm build</code> includes <code>ui:build</code>.</li>
-<li>Tests: give QA config mutation RPCs enough native Windows budget to finish gateway config writes and restart settle after hot scenario runs.</li>
-<li>Tests: keep the gateway restart-inflight QA scenario focused on restart recovery on native Windows by allowing expected embedded prompt handoff errors and using the Windows-safe timeout budget.</li>
-<li>QA-Lab: make the synthetic OpenAI provider honor generic <code>reply exactly:</code> directives after required kickoff reads so restart-recovery scenarios do not fall through to generic repo-summary prose.</li>
-<li>Gateway: abort active <code>agent</code> RPC runs during forced restart shutdown so stale in-process turns cannot keep writing a session after the Gateway lifecycle restarts.</li>
-<li>Crabbox: sync clean sparse worktrees through a temporary full checkout even when reusing an existing lease so tracked build-time files are not omitted.</li>
-<li>Build: route <code>scripts/ui.js</code> through the shared pnpm runner and keep Control UI chunking helpers in sparse-included source so native Windows Corepack builds can produce <code>dist/control-ui</code>.</li>
-<li>Tests: give the memory fallback QA scenario enough turn budget to exercise native Windows gateway runs instead of failing on the client timeout while the mock agent is still dispatching.</li>
-<li>Tests: collect QA gateway CPU/RSS metrics on native Windows and give the channel baseline enough turn budget to report slow gateway runs instead of timing out before proof.</li>
-<li>Install/update: bypass npm <code>min-release-age</code> policies with <code>--min-release-age=0</code> instead of <code>--before</code> so hosted installers keep working on npm versions that reject the combined config. (#84749) Thanks @TeodoroRodrigo.</li>
-<li>Diagnostics: reclaim wedged session lanes when stale active-run bookkeeping blocks queued work despite no forward progress. Fixes #85639. Thanks @openperf.</li>
-<li>WebChat: keep message-tool replies visible in the chat while still summarizing internal tool results for the model. Fixes #86347. Thanks @shakkernerd.</li>
-<li>Gateway/perf: fail startup benchmark samples when the Gateway process exits before benchmark teardown, including signal deaths after readiness probes.</li>
-<li>Gateway/perf: fail restart benchmark samples when the Gateway exits before benchmark teardown, including clean exits and signal deaths after successful restart probes.</li>
-<li>Agents/tests: keep model catalog visibility on static selection helpers so catalog visibility checks avoid the broad model-selection barrel import.</li>
-<li>Agents/commitments: serialize commitment store load-modify-save writes so concurrent heartbeat and CLI updates no longer lose dismissal, sent, or attempt state. (#81153) Thanks @ai-hpc.</li>
-<li>xAI/LM Studio: promote plain-text tool-call fallbacks into structured tool calls and strip leaked internal tool syntax before user-facing delivery. (#86222) Thanks @fuller-stack-dev.</li>
-<li>CLI: suppress benign self-update version-skew warnings during package post-update finalization.</li>
-<li>Gateway/perf: tighten restart and startup benchmark failure handling so long profiling runs, failed probes, and fresh Linux runners no longer produce false passing or <code>n/a</code> results.</li>
-<li>Checks: keep intentional Knip unused-file findings optional so full CI and sparse proof workspaces stay aligned.</li>
-<li>Docker: restore writable <code>~/.config</code> in runtime images. Fixes #85968. Thanks @hkoessler and @Bartok9.</li>
-<li>Plugin SDK: keep legacy root diagnostic subscriptions connected when built plugin SDK aliases resolve diagnostic helpers through a separate module graph.</li>
-<li>Diagnostics: export alertable OTel and Prometheus signals for blocked tools, model failover, stale sessions, liveness warnings, oversized payloads, and webhook ingress while fixing shared OTLP endpoints with query strings.</li>
-<li>Tests: normalize macOS canonical temp paths in exec allowlists, fs-safe trash assertions, installed plugin matching, Telegram topic-name stores, and built ACPX MCP server expectations so native macOS proof runners cover the intended behavior.</li>
-<li>Codex/app-server: preserve message-tool-only source reply delivery mode on active runs so sub-agent completion wakeups can steer the active Codex turn instead of being rejected. (#86287) Thanks @ferminquant.</li>
-<li>Tests: sample the Windows kitchen-sink RPC gateway directly and serialize RSS probes so native runs keep the memory guard active.</li>
-<li>Tests: normalize bundled plugin lifecycle probe paths and state-root lookup so native Windows release sweeps accept valid packaged plugin installs.</li>
-<li>Agents/Claude CLI: route live native Bash permission requests through OpenClaw exec policy so Claude turns no longer stall on <code>control_request</code>, and document that OpenClaw exec policy is authoritative. Fixes #80819. (#86330, from #81971) Thanks @guthirry and @sallyom.</li>
-<li>Security audit: warn when YOLO OpenClaw exec policy overrides a restrictive raw Claude <code>--permission-mode</code> for managed live sessions. (#86557) Thanks @sallyom.</li>
-<li>Config: keep benign legacy metadata write anomalies out of default doctor and config command output while preserving explicit anomaly logging for diagnostics.</li>
-<li>Codex: log when implicit app-server <code>never</code> approvals are promoted for OpenClaw tool policy, including whether the trigger was a <code>before_tool_call</code> hook or trusted tool policy.</li>
-<li>Codex harness: make subscription usage-limit errors without reset times explain that OpenClaw cannot determine the reset and point users to wait until Codex is available, use another Codex account, or switch to another configured model/provider. Thanks @amknight.</li>
-<li>Google Vertex: support production ADC modes such as Workload Identity Federation, service-account credentials, and metadata-server ADC for the native Vertex transport. (#83971) Thanks @damianFelixPago.</li>
-<li>Telegram: route normal <code>[telegram][diag]</code> polling diagnostics through <code>runtime.log</code> while keeping non-diag warnings and persistence failures on <code>runtime.error</code>, so healthy polling startup no longer looks like an error. Fixes #82957. (#82958) Thanks @galiniliev.</li>
-<li>Providers/Ollama: strip inline Kimi cloud reasoning prefixes from streamed and final visible replies while keeping ordinary Kimi answers append-only. (#86286) Thanks @jason-allen-oneal.</li>
-</ul>
-<ul>
-<li>Gateway: require Talk secret authority before setup-code handoff can include Talk secrets. (#85690) Thanks @ngutman.</li>
-<li>Agents: keep fallback error reporting scoped to the active model candidate so stale prior-provider quota/auth text is not reported for later fallback attempts. (#86134) Thanks @zhangguiping-xydt.</li>
-<li>iMessage: dedupe watcher startup when <code>channels.imessage.accounts</code> lists both <code>default</code> and a named account that point at the same local Messages source, so the gateway no longer spawns two <code>imsg rpc</code> processes or doubles inbound replies; the dedupe is scoped to watcher startup, leaving duplicate accounts addressable for outbound sends, status, and capability listings, and <code>openclaw doctor</code> flags the redundant account with a rebinding hint. Fixes #65141. (#86705) Thanks @swang430.</li>

+## Install policy blocks plugin installs or updates
+
+If an update finishes but plugins are stale, disabled, or show messages such as
+`blocked by install policy`, `install policy failed closed`, or
+`Disabled "<plugin>" after plugin update failure`, check
+`security.installPolicy`.
+
+Install policy runs on plugin installs and updates. OpenClaw-owned plugin
+versions normally move with the OpenClaw release, so an OpenClaw update can
+also need matching `@openclaw/*` plugin updates during post-update sync.
+
+Avoid these broad policy shapes unless you also maintain the matching upgrade
+rule:
+
+- Freezing OpenClaw-owned plugins to one exact old version, such as allowing
+  only `@openclaw/*@2026.5.3`.
+- Blocking by source kind alone, such as every npm, network, or
+  `request.mode: "update"` plugin request.
+- Treating the policy command as optional. When `security.installPolicy` is
+  enabled, a missing, slow, unreadable, or permission-blocked policy executable
+  fails closed.
+- Approving plugin versions without considering the policy request's
+  `openclawVersion` and the plugin candidate metadata.
+
+Safer policy rules allow trusted OpenClaw-owned plugin updates when the
+candidate is compatible with the current OpenClaw host, instead of pinning a
+single release forever. If you block npm by default, make a narrow exception
+for the trusted `@openclaw/*` plugin packages or plugin ids you use. If you
+differentiate install and update requests, apply the same trust rule to
+`request.mode: "update"`.
+
+Recovery:
+
+```bash
+openclaw doctor --deep
+openclaw plugins update --all
+openclaw status --all
+```
+
+If the policy is intentionally strict, relax it for the trusted OpenClaw upgrade
+window, rerun `openclaw plugins update --all`, then restore the stricter rule.
+If a plugin was disabled after update failure, inspect it and re-enable it only
+after the update succeeds:

-OpenClaw supports both **native Windows** and **WSL2**. WSL2 is the more
-stable path and recommended for the full experience — the CLI, Gateway, and
-tooling run inside Linux with full compatibility. Native Windows works for
-core CLI and Gateway use, with some caveats noted below.
+OpenClaw ships a native **Windows Hub** companion app plus Windows CLI support.
+Use Windows Hub when you want a desktop app with setup, tray status, chat,
+Command Center diagnostics, and Windows node capabilities. Use the PowerShell
+installer when you want the CLI/Gateway directly. Use WSL2 when you want the
+most Linux-compatible Gateway runtime.
 
-Native Windows companion apps are planned.
+## Recommended: Windows Hub
 
-## WSL2 (recommended)
+Windows Hub is the native WinUI companion app for Windows 10 20H2+ and Windows 11. It installs without administrator privileges and is published with signed
+x64 and ARM64 installers on OpenClaw releases.
 
-- [Getting Started](/start/getting-started) (use inside WSL)
-- [Install & updates](/install/updating)
-- Official WSL2 guide (Microsoft): [https://learn.microsoft.com/windows/wsl/install](https://learn.microsoft.com/windows/wsl/install)
+Download the latest stable installer:
 
-## Native Windows status

+- [Checksums](https://github.com/openclaw/openclaw/releases/latest/download/OpenClawCompanion-SHA256SUMS.txt)
 
-Native Windows CLI flows are improving, but WSL2 is still the recommended path.
+After install, launch **OpenClaw Companion** from the Start menu or the system
+tray. The installer also adds shortcuts for Gateway Setup, Chat, Settings,
+Check for Updates, and uninstall.
 
-What works well on native Windows today:
+### What Windows Hub includes
 
-- website installer via `install.ps1`
-- local CLI use such as `openclaw --version`, `openclaw doctor`, and `openclaw plugins list --json`
-- embedded local-agent/provider smoke such as:
+- system tray status and launch-at-login
+- first-run setup for a local app-owned WSL Gateway
+- connection settings for local, remote, and SSH-tunneled Gateways
+- native chat window plus access to the browser Control UI
+- Command Center diagnostics for sessions, usage, channels, nodes, pairing, and
+  repair commands
+- Windows node mode for agent-controlled canvas, screen, camera, notifications,
+  device status, text-to-speech, speech-to-text, and controlled `system.run`
+- local MCP server mode for MCP clients such as Claude Desktop, Claude Code, and
+  Cursor
+
+### First launch
+
+On first launch, Windows Hub opens setup when there is no usable saved Gateway.
+The fastest path is **Set up locally**, which provisions an app-owned
+`OpenClawGateway` WSL distro, installs the Gateway inside it, and pairs the app.
+This does not export or mutate your existing Ubuntu distro.
+
+Choose **Advanced setup** or open the Connections tab when you already have a
+Gateway. You can connect to:
+
+- a local Gateway on this PC
+- a WSL Gateway on this PC
+- a remote Gateway by URL and token or setup code
+- a Gateway reached through an SSH tunnel
+
+When setup finishes, the tray icon turns green. Open **Command Center** from the
+tray to confirm connection, pairing, node status, and channel health.
+
+## Windows node mode
+
+Windows Hub can register as a first-class OpenClaw node. The agent can then use
+declared Windows-native capabilities through the Gateway.
+
+Common commands include:
+
+- `canvas.present`, `canvas.hide`, `canvas.navigate`, `canvas.eval`,
+  `canvas.snapshot`
+- `screen.snapshot` and, with explicit opt-in, `screen.record`
+- `camera.list` and, with explicit opt-in, `camera.snap`, `camera.clip`
+- `system.notify`, `system.run`, `system.run.prepare`, `system.which`
+- `location.get`, `device.info`, `device.status`
+- `stt.transcribe`, `tts.speak`
+
+Node mode requires Gateway pairing. If the app shows a pairing request, approve
+it from the Gateway host:
 
 ```powershell
-openclaw agent --local --agent main --thinking low -m "Reply with exactly WINDOWS-HATCH-OK."
+openclaw devices list
+openclaw devices approve <request-id>
+openclaw nodes status
 ```
 
-Current caveats:
+The Gateway only forwards commands that the node declares and server policy
+allows. Privacy-sensitive commands such as `screen.record`, `camera.snap`, and
+`camera.clip` require explicit `gateway.nodes.allowCommands` opt-in.
 
-- `openclaw onboard --non-interactive` still expects a reachable local gateway unless you pass `--skip-health`
-- `openclaw onboard --non-interactive --install-daemon` and `openclaw gateway install` try Windows Scheduled Tasks first
-- if Scheduled Task creation is denied, OpenClaw falls back to a per-user Startup-folder login item and starts the gateway immediately
-- if `schtasks` itself wedges or stops responding, OpenClaw now aborts that path quickly and falls back instead of hanging forever
-- Scheduled Tasks are still preferred when available because they provide better supervisor status
+## Local MCP mode
 
-If you want the native CLI only, without gateway service install, use one of these:
+Windows Hub can expose the same Windows-native capability registry as a local
+MCP server on loopback. This is useful when you want local MCP clients to drive
+Windows capabilities without a running OpenClaw Gateway.
+
+Enable it in Windows Hub Settings under the developer/advanced section. The app
+shows the loopback endpoint and bearer token after the server is enabled.
+
+Mode matrix:
+
+| Node mode | MCP server | Behavior                           |

+## Native Windows CLI and Gateway
+
+For terminal-first use, install OpenClaw from PowerShell:
 
 ```powershell

-If you do want managed startup on native Windows:
+Verify:
+
+```powershell
+openclaw --version

+```
+
+Native Windows CLI and Gateway flows are supported and continue to improve.
+Managed startup uses Windows Scheduled Tasks when available and falls back to a
+per-user Startup-folder login item if task creation is denied.
+
+To install the Gateway service:
 
 ```powershell
 openclaw gateway install
 openclaw gateway status --json
 ```
 
-If Scheduled Task creation is blocked, the fallback service mode still auto-starts after login through the current user's Startup folder.

-## Step-by-step WSL2 install
+## Troubleshooting
 
-### 1) Install WSL2 + Ubuntu
+### The tray icon does not appear
 
-Open PowerShell (Admin):
+Check Task Manager for `OpenClaw.Tray.WinUI.exe`. If it is running, open the
+hidden tray-icons area and pin it. If it is not running, launch **OpenClaw
+Companion** from the Start menu.
+
+### Local setup fails
+
+Open the setup log from Windows Hub or inspect:
 
 ```powershell
-wsl --install
-# Or pick a distro explicitly:
-wsl --list --online
-wsl --install -d Ubuntu-24.04
+notepad "$env:LOCALAPPDATA\OpenClawTray\Logs\Setup\easy-setup-latest.txt"
 ```
 
-Reboot if Windows asks.
+Common causes are disabled WSL, blocked virtualization, stale app-owned WSL
+state, or a network failure while installing the Gateway package.
 
-### 2) Enable systemd (required for gateway install)
+### The app says pairing is required
 
-In your WSL terminal:
-
-```bash
-sudo tee /etc/wsl.conf >/dev/null <<'EOF'
-[boot]
-systemd=true
-EOF
-```
-
-Then from PowerShell:
+Approve the operator or node request from the Gateway:
 
 ```powershell
-wsl --shutdown
+openclaw devices list
+openclaw devices approve <request-id>
 ```
 
-Re-open Ubuntu, then verify:
+If the device already had a token, reconnect from the Connections tab after
+approval.
 
-```bash
-systemctl --user status
-```
+### Web chat cannot reach a remote Gateway
 
-### 3) Install OpenClaw (inside WSL)
+Remote web chat needs HTTPS or localhost. For self-signed certificates, trust
+the certificate in Windows, or use an SSH tunnel to a localhost URL.
 
-For a normal first-time setup inside WSL, follow the Linux Getting Started flow:
+### `screen.snapshot`, camera, or audio commands fail
 
-```bash
-git clone https://github.com/openclaw/openclaw.git
-cd openclaw
-pnpm install
-pnpm build
-pnpm ui:build
-pnpm openclaw onboard --install-daemon
-```
+Confirm Windows permissions for camera, microphone, screen capture, and
+notifications. Packaged installs declare the protected capabilities, but Windows
+may still prompt the first time a command uses them.
 
-If you are developing from source instead of doing first-time onboarding, use the
-source dev loop from [Setup](/start/setup):
+### Git or GitHub connectivity fails
 
-```bash
-pnpm install
-# First run only (or after resetting local OpenClaw config/workspace)
-pnpm openclaw setup
-pnpm gateway:watch
-```
+Some networks block or throttle HTTPS to GitHub. If `git clone` or `gh auth
+login` fails, try another network, a VPN, or an HTTP/HTTPS proxy.

+## Operator Install Policy (`security.installPolicy`)
+
+Use `security.installPolicy` when operators need a trusted local command to
+approve or block skill and plugin installs with host-specific policy. The policy
+runs after OpenClaw has staged source material and before the install or update
+continues. It applies to ClawHub skills, uploaded skills, Git/local skills,
+skill dependency installers, and plugin install/update sources.

+The policy receives one JSON object on stdin with `protocolVersion: 1`,
+`openclawVersion`, `targetType`, `targetName`, `sourcePath`, `sourcePathKind`,
+optional structured `source`, structured `origin`, and `request`. It must write
+one JSON object on stdout: `{ "protocolVersion": 1, "decision": "allow" }` or
+`{ "protocolVersion": 1, "decision": "block", "reason": "..." }`. Non-zero
+exit, timeout, malformed JSON, missing fields, or unsupported protocol versions
+fail closed.
+
+OpenClaw does not execute install policy during normal Gateway startup. Installs
+and updates fail closed when policy is enabled but unavailable. `openclaw doctor`
+performs static validation, and `openclaw doctor --deep` executes a synthetic
+install probe against the configured command.
+
+Bulk updates apply policy per target: a blocked skill or plugin update fails
+that target without disabling the policy or skipping later targets in the batch.
+
+Example stdin:
+
+```json
+{
+  "protocolVersion": 1,
+  "openclawVersion": "2026.6.1",
+  "targetType": "skill",
+  "targetName": "weather",
