Changes

• QA/Mantis: add Telegram live PR evidence automation with Convex-leased credentials, Crabbox transcript capture, motion GIF previews, and inline PR comments.
• QA/Mantis: add a Telegram desktop scenario builder that leases Crabbox, installs native Telegram Desktop, configures an OpenClaw Telegram gateway with leased bot credentials, and records VNC screenshot/video artifacts.
• Discord/voice: add realtime voice diagnostics for speaker turns, playback resets, barge-in detection, and audio cutoff analysis.
• Talk: add `talk.realtime.instructions` so operators can append realtime voice style instructions while preserving OpenClaw's built-in agent-consult guidance. (#79081) Thanks @VACInc.
• Discord/voice: default test and source installs to the pure-JS `opusscript` decoder by ignoring optional native `@discordjs/opus` builds, avoiding slow native addon compiles outside dedicated voice-performance lanes.
• Gateway/skills: add an opt-in private skill archive upload install path gated by `skills.install.allowUploadedArchives`, so trusted Gateway clients can stage and install zip-backed skills only when operators explicitly enable the code-install surface. (#74430) Thanks @samzong.
• Dependencies: refresh workspace pins and patch targets, including ACPX `@agentclientprotocol/claude-agent-acp` `0.33.1`, Codex ACP `0.14.0`, Baileys `7.0.0-rc10`, Google GenAI `2.0.1`, OpenAI `6.37.0`, AWS SDK `3.1045.0`, Kysely `0.29.0`, Tlon skill `0.3.6`, Aimock `1.19.5`, and tsdown `0.22.0`.
• Agents/compaction: preserve scoped background exec/process session references across embedded compaction and after-turn runtime contexts without exposing sessions from unrelated scopes. Fixes #79284. (#79307) Thanks @TurboTheTurtle.
• CLI/onboarding: improve setup, onboarding, configure, and channel command wayfinding so terminal flows explain the next useful command instead of relying on terse setup labels.
• Agents/Codex: remove the configurable Codex dynamic-tools profile so Codex app-server always owns workspace, edit, patch, exec, process, and plan tools while OpenClaw integration tools remain available.
• Agents: apply the LLM idle watchdog while provider stream setup is still pending, preventing silent pre-stream model hangs from waiting for the full agent timeout.
• Cron: let isolated self-cleanup runs inspect their own job run history while keeping other cron jobs and mutation actions blocked. Fixes #80019. Thanks @hclsys.
• CLI/config: persist explicit `config set` and `config patch` values that equal runtime defaults instead of reporting success while dropping them. Fixes #79856. (#80106) Thanks @abodanty and @hclsys.
• OpenAI/realtime voice: accept Codex-compatible legacy audio and transcript event aliases so provider protocol drift does not drop assistant audio or captions.
• Discord/voice: keep default agent-proxy realtime sessions from auto-speaking filler before the forced OpenClaw consult answer, finish Discord playback on realtime response completion, and queue later exact-speech answers until playback idles to avoid mid-sentence replacement.
• Gateway: return deterministic `400 invalid_request_error` responses for malformed encoded session-kill HTTP paths instead of letting route-shaped requests fall through to later Gateway handlers. (#72439) Thanks @rubencu.
• Control UI: serve root PWA and favicon assets from `/__openclaw__/` SPA routes so tab icons, install metadata, and the service worker do not 404 after internal navigation. Fixes #80072. Thanks @CodeNovice2017.
• OpenAI/realtime voice: honor disabled input-audio interruption locally so server VAD speech-start events do not clear Discord playback after operators set `interruptResponseOnInputAudio: false`.
• Telegram: keep no-response DM turns quiet instead of rewriting them into visible silent-reply chatter. Fixes #78188. (#78228) Thanks @Beandon13.
• Telegram: handle managed select button callbacks before the raw callback fallback while preserving delimiter-containing option values such as `env|prod`. (#79816) Thanks @moeedahmed.
• OpenAI-compatible models: handle JSON chat-completion bodies returned to streaming requests, preserving reasoning fields and visible text instead of completing an empty agent turn. Fixes #77870.
• Discord/models: defer model picker component interactions before loading route, model, and preference data, preventing "This interaction failed" timeouts under gateway load. Fixes #77283. Thanks @colin-chang.
• xAI: expose `/think low|medium|high` for reasoning-capable Grok models and keep `reasoning.effort` on native Responses payloads while preserving off-only behavior for non-reasoning routes. Fixes #79210. Thanks @colinmcintosh.
• CLI/media: let explicit image description model refs use bundled static provider catalogs and generic model-backed image hooks, so `openclaw infer image describe --model zai/glm-4.6v` works like direct model runs and Anthropic auth probes avoid stale Claude 3 Haiku catalog entries.
• Models/Anthropic: add `anthropic/claude-haiku-4-5` to Anthropic API-key agent allowlist defaults when an Anthropic default model is configured, so cron model overrides can select the current Haiku alias. Fixes #78000.
• Agents/Anthropic-compatible: strip replayed thinking blocks for custom Anthropic-compatible models that explicitly declare `supportsReasoningEffort: false`, preventing Kimi-compatible providers from resending unsupported `thinking` content. Fixes #47452.
• Browser: wait longer for existing-session Chrome MCP status and non-deep doctor probes so slow first attaches do not falsely report offline while keeping raw CDP status probes short. (#77473) Thanks @rubencu.
• Gateway/logging: install console capture before foreground Gateway fast-path parsing and suppress known libsignal session dumps even in verbose mode, preventing raw terminal logs from printing WhatsApp session key material. (#76306) Thanks @rubencu.
• Exec approvals: keep `exec.approval.list` on the lightweight policy-summary path so listing pending approvals no longer loads the rich tree-sitter command explainer. (#76943) Thanks @rubencu.
• Agents: surface concise default-visible warnings when `exec`/`bash` tool calls fail after the assistant claims success, while keeping raw stderr hidden unless verbose details are enabled. Fixes #60497. (#80003) Thanks @jbetala7.
• Agents: stop blank model-emitted tool calls before dispatch while preserving id-based tool-name recovery, preventing Kimi/NVIDIA blank-name retry loops without creating a callable `_blank` sentinel. Fixes #34129. (#56391) Thanks @smartchainark.
• Agents/Telegram: deliver the canonical final assistant answer instead of replaying accumulated pre-tool text blocks, preventing duplicate Telegram replies and raw-looking tool-output fragments from leaking into chat delivery. Fixes #79621 and #79986. Thanks @nonzeroclaw and @dudaefj.
• Auto-reply/TUI: keep fallback timeout recovery deliverable after a primary model lifecycle error by emitting fallback progress and deferring terminal TUI errors until recovery has a chance to finish. Fixes #80000. (#80009) Thanks @TurboTheTurtle.
• CLI/agent: let `openclaw agent --model` use the backend/admin Gateway scope without cached device-token scopes silently downscoping the request. (#78837) Thanks @VACInc.
• CLI/help: keep help and version invocations configless while improving shared port, channel, plugin, task, session, message, pairing, and auth recovery text.
• CLI/config: explain strict JSON parse failures with a valid example and the plain-string escape hatch.
• CLI/secrets: turn offline Gateway reload failures into actionable recovery text.
• CLI/channels: explain missing or ambiguous channel selections with next commands.
• CLI/channels: defer guided channel status collection until a channel is selected, keeping `openclaw channels add` first screen quieter.
• Plugins/CLI: route disabled Matrix and LanceDB memory command roots to plugin-enable guidance instead of generic unknown-command errors.
• Browser/Docker: detect Playwright-managed Chromium from `PLAYWRIGHT_BROWSERS_PATH` and the default Playwright cache on Linux, so Docker installs that persist `/home/node/.cache/ms-playwright` no longer need `browser.executablePath`.
• Ollama: keep DeepSeek V4 cloud models thinking-capable even when Ollama Cloud `/api/show` omits the `thinking` capability, so `/think high` no longer rejects `ollama/deepseek-v4-*:cloud`.
• ACPX/Claude ACP: keep foreground prompts waiting for their own result when autonomous task-notification results arrive during the same session, and retarget the patch for Claude Agent ACP `0.33.1`.
• WhatsApp: keep Baileys media uploads from passing non-Dispatcher agents to undici in `7.0.0-rc10`, and patch the bundled Baileys declaration so the latest tsdown build stays warning-clean.
• Build: keep tsdown `0.22.0` warning-clean by externalizing known third-party declaration edges and replacing relative channel config module augmentations with explicit built-in channel fields.
• ACP sessions: map canonical runtime options to backend-advertised ACP config keys like Claude's `effort` while keeping persisted OpenClaw state canonical. (#79926) Thanks @InTheCloudDan.
• Models/Discord: support `provider/*` entries in `agents.defaults.models` so `/model`, `/models`, and model pickers can show dynamically discovered models for selected providers without exact model allowlists. Fixes #79485. Thanks @rendrag-git.
• Gateway/watch: rebuild or restage missing bundled-plugin dist and runtime-postbuild outputs before launching the Gateway from a source checkout, preventing incomplete watch-mode runtime trees. (#70805) Thanks @rubencu.
• CLI/update: allow restart health probes from the previous gateway protocol during self-update, and make plugin dry-runs report exact npm target versions instead of `unknown` while preserving unchanged status.
• OpenAI/Codex: forward persisted `openai-codex` OAuth profile metadata into Codex plugin harness attempts after canonical `openai/*` migration, so OAuth-only installs keep using native Codex auth instead of falling through to direct OpenAI API-key auth. Fixes #79978.
• OpenAI/Codex: point gateway missing-key recovery and wizard docs at the canonical `openai/gpt-5.5` plus Codex OAuth route, and fix trajectory export errors so they suggest the valid `openclaw sessions` command.
• Google/Gemini: normalize retired `google/gemini-3-pro-preview` primary, fallback, and model-map refs during config load and unrelated config writes so saved config keeps targeting Gemini 3.1 Pro Preview.
• Google/Gemini: normalize retired Gemini 3 Pro Preview ids inside emitted Google provider model config, so regenerated models.json rows test `google/gemini-3.1-pro-preview`.
• GitHub Copilot: mint short-lived Copilot API tokens with the same `vscode-chat` integration identity used by runtime requests, and refresh legacy cached tokens missing that identity so image-capable Copilot models no longer inherit the `copilot-language-server` scope. Fixes #79946, #80074. Thanks @TurboTheTurtle.
• Plugins/doctor: drop stale managed npm install records when `openclaw doctor --fix` removes npm packages that shadow bundled plugins, so the rebuilt registry no longer resurrects the removed package metadata.
• Discord/voice: reuse or suppress late realtime consult tool calls without stealing newer speaker context or speaking forced fallback answers twice.
• Discord/voice: synthesize realtime playback timestamps from emitted Discord PCM so OpenAI realtime barge-in truncation no longer sees `audioEndMs=0` and skips legitimate interruptions.
• Plugin SDK: keep activated linked plugin runtime facades loadable when bundled plugin fallback is disabled. Thanks @shakkernerd.
• Feishu: auto-thread `message(action="send")` replies inside the topic when the active session is group_topic or group_topic_sender, and propagate `replyInThread` through text, card, and media outbound adapters so topic-scoped sessions no longer post at the group root. Fixes #74903. (#77151) Thanks @ai-hpc.
• WhatsApp: pass routing context into voice-note transcript echo preflight so echoed transcripts can deliver to the originating chat. Fixes #79778. (#79788) Thanks @hclsys.
• Cron/failover: classify structured OpenAI-compatible `server_error` payloads as `server_error`, expose that reason in cron state, and let one-shot cron retry policy honor `retryOn: ["server_error"]` without requiring raw `5xx` text. (#45594) Thanks @clovericbot.
• Slack: wake the resolved thread session after interactive reply button/select clicks and carry Slack delivery context through the queued interaction event, so clicks continue the visible conversation. Fixes #79676 and #61502. (#79836) Thanks @velvet-shark, @tianxiaochannel-oss88, and @Saicheg.
• WhatsApp/streaming: send only the new suffix when text-end block replies repeat prior preambles across tool-call cycles, preventing cumulative WhatsApp preamble messages. Fixes #78946. (#79120) Thanks @brokemac79 and @papawattu.
• Tests/security audit: sandbox `audit-exec-surface.test.ts` under a per-case OpenClaw home tempdir, redirecting `OPENCLAW_HOME` (which wins over `HOME`/`USERPROFILE` in `resolveRawHomeDir`) alongside `HOME` and `USERPROFILE`, so its `saveExecApprovals(...)` calls never touch the live `~/.openclaw/exec-approvals.json` on the host running the suite. Sibling exec-approvals tests already used the tempdir pattern; this file did not, so running `pnpm test` against a contributor's local checkout was silently truncating their real approvals to `{ "version": 1, "agents": {} }`. (#79885) Thanks @omarshahine.
• ACP/gateway: preserve `AcpRuntimeError` cause chain (code/method/JSON-RPC detail) through the lifecycle boundary so gateway logs, telegram replies, and tool-result text show the actual upstream failure instead of opaque `Internal error`/`[object Object]`, with redaction applied before the chain reaches log or reply surfaces.
• Channels/iMessage: wire `action: "reply"` attachments through `imsg send-rich --file` when the installed imsg build advertises that capability (probed once via `imsg send-rich --help` and cached on the private-API status). Reply now hydrates `media`/`mediaUrl`/`fileUrl`/`mediaUrls[0]`/`filePath`/`path`/base64 `buffer`+`filename` through the shared outbound resolver, stages buffers via the existing `withTempFile` helper, rejects `http(s)://` URL attachments with a targeted error pointing callers at `send`'s full attachment-resolver pipeline, and falls back to the explicit `imsg#114 not landed yet` error on older imsg builds. Depends on the upstream `openclaw/imsg#114` capability landing in an installable release; until then the new path stays gated and users see the same explicit fallback `#79822` introduced. (#79864) Thanks @omarshahine.
• Telegram: preserve the first-preview debounce while appending true partial-stream deltas, so edited draft previews no longer duplicate earlier text when providers emit incremental output. (#80045) Thanks @TurboTheTurtle.
• Agents/Anthropic: report 1M session context for Claude Opus/Sonnet 4 models even when local model config still advertises 200k, matching model discovery and preventing premature status/UI overflow. Fixes #66766.
• Models/OpenRouter: hide missing-auth direct provider rows in `/model status` when they are only duplicated by a nested OpenRouter model id such as `openrouter/google/...`, while preserving explicitly configured direct providers. Fixes #62317.
• Models: preserve an explicitly selected provider/model such as `opencode-go/deepseek-v4-pro` when another provider owns the same bare model alias. Fixes #79325.
• Models/config: explain missing `models.providers.<provider>.models[]` registration when a model exists only in `agents.defaults.models`, instead of returning a bare unknown-model error. Fixes #80089.
• MCP/tools: prefix bundle MCP server/tool fragments that would start with digits, keeping generated tool names valid for Moonshot/Kimi and other strict providers. Fixes #79179.
• Models/OpenRouter: treat `403 API key budget limit exceeded` as billing so model fallback advances instead of retrying the exhausted primary. Fixes #60191. Thanks @omgitsgela.
• Models/OpenRouter: repair stale session overrides that lost the outer `openrouter/` provider wrapper, so sessions return to the configured OpenRouter model instead of failing as an unknown direct-provider model. Fixes #78161. Thanks @hjamal7-bit.
• Google/Gemini: default API-key onboarding back to `google/gemini-3.1-pro-preview` so fresh Gemini test configs exercise Gemini 3.1 Pro Preview.
• Telegram: show full provider/model labels for nested OpenRouter model ids in the model picker, so `openrouter/openai/gpt-5.4-mini` no longer displays as `openai/gpt-5.4-mini`. Fixes #67792. (#72752) Thanks @iot2edge.
• Models/OpenRouter: preserve live `supported_parameters` tool support metadata so non-tool Perplexity Sonar models no longer receive agent tool payloads and fall back unnecessarily. Fixes #64175. Thanks @Catfish-75.
• Models/OpenRouter: add MoonshotAI Kimi K2.5 to the bundled OpenRouter catalog so onboarding/model pickers can offer it without waiting for live discovery. Fixes #14601.
• Models/OpenRouter: keep keyRef/tokenRef-backed auth profiles visible to read-only PI model discovery, so OpenRouter models stay available in model pickers without storing plaintext keys. Fixes #58106. Thanks @ThalynLabs.
• Models/list: include explicit configured provider rows and read-only auth-backed catalog rows in the default configured view without loading PI's full registry, keeping Control UI pickers aligned with usable model auth. Refs #79381. Thanks @ismael-81.
• Security/audit: honor `tools.byProvider["provider/model"].deny` when reporting small-model web/browser exposure, so per-model OpenRouter mitigations clear the `models.small_params` exposure signal. Fixes #80118.
• Models/Moonshot: accept direct `moonshotai/...` and `moonshot-ai/...` refs as aliases for canonical `moonshot/...`, so copied OpenRouter Kimi ids no longer fail as unknown direct models. Fixes #73876. (#74946) Thanks @jeffrey701.
• Kimi Code: use Kimi's stable `kimi-for-coding` API model id in bundled catalog, onboarding, and docs while normalizing legacy `kimi-code` and `k2p5` refs. Fixes #79965.
• Volcengine/Kimi: strip provider-unsupported tool schema length and item constraint keywords for direct and coding-plan models so hosted Kimi runs do not reject message tools with `minLength`. Fixes #38817.
• DeepSeek: backfill V4 `reasoning_content` replay fields for unowned OpenAI-compatible proxy providers, preventing follow-up request failures outside the bundled DeepSeek and OpenRouter routes. Fixes #79608.
