Changes

• Security/audit: add `security.audit.suppressions` for intentionally accepted audit findings, keeping suppressed matches out of the active summary while preserving them in JSON output with an active suppression notice. (#76949) Thanks @100menotu001.
• Agents/subagents: label delegated task and subagent completion handoffs as ready for parent review, and tell requester agents to review/verify results before calling them done. (#78985) Thanks @100menotu001.
• Providers/media: add fal and OpenRouter music-generation providers for the shared `music_generate` tool, including fal MiniMax/ACE/Stable Audio endpoints and OpenRouter Lyria audio output.
• Maintainer tooling: warn before running JS package commands on raw Crabbox AWS boxes, pointing maintainers to Actions hydration or Blacksmith Testbox for CI-like proof.
• Control UI: show provider quota usage in the Overview card and Chat header, and recover stale Chat in-progress state after missed terminal events. (#82647)
• Mac app remote setup can now be preconfigured from `openclaw-mac configure-remote`, skips onboarding when config is already complete, supports direct LAN/Tailnet gateway URLs, allows private same-origin Control UI loads, and owns the SSH tunnel process when SSH is selected.
• Providers/xAI: add xAI Grok OAuth login for SuperGrok subscribers, letting `xai/*` models and xAI media/tool providers authenticate without `XAI_API_KEY`.
• CLI/cron: add `openclaw cron run --wait` with timeout and poll interval controls, plus exact `cron.runs --run-id` filtering so automation can block on one queued manual run. (#81929) Thanks @ificator.
• Maintainer tooling: route Crabbox skill defaults through the repo brokered AWS config, leaving Blacksmith Testbox as an explicit opt-in instead of the broad-proof default.
• CLI/onboarding: localize the setup wizard and bundled channel setup flows for English, Simplified Chinese, and Traditional Chinese. (#80645) Thanks @GaosCode.
• Agents/skills: cache hydrated `resolvedSkills` across warm gateway turns while keying reuse by the redacted effective config, reducing redundant skill snapshot rebuilds without crossing config-gated skill boundaries. (#81451) Thanks @solodmd.
• Group chat: add core inbound event classification with opt-in `messages.groupChat.unmentionedInbound: "room_event"`, so always-on unmentioned room chatter can run as quiet context and speak visibly only via the message tool. (#81317) Thanks @obviyus.
• Codex/context engines: bind thread-bootstrap projection epochs to Codex app-server threads, carry redacted tool-result context into fresh threads, and rotate backend threads when projection state changes. (#82351) Thanks @jalehman.
• Agents/media: run `image_generate` through the shared async media-generation task lifecycle in session-backed chats, with task status, duplicate guarding, and message-tool completion delivery matching music/video.
• Gateway: add opt-in restart trace logs for restart signal, active-work drain, close, next-start, ready, and memory spans. (#82396) Thanks @samzong.
• Gateway/performance: split startup benchmark HTTP-listen timing from full gateway-ready timing and add post-bind plugin and sidecar diagnostics to restart-readiness traces. (#82603) Thanks @samzong.
• QA-Lab: add a deterministic local personal-agent scenario pack covering reminders, threaded replies, scoped memory recall, redaction, and safe tool followthrough. (#78219) Thanks @iFiras-Max1.
• QA-Lab: add `--pack personal-agent` for `openclaw qa suite` so maintainers can run the accepted personal-agent scenario pack by selector. (#82760) Thanks @iFiras-Max1.
• QA-Lab: add a private Codex-vs-Pi runtime parity axis with runtime-pair suite runs, parity reports, and release-check wiring. (#80238) Thanks @100yenadmin.
• Slack: add Slack assistant thread lifecycle support with assistant view manifest entries, suggested prompts, thread-scoped assistant sessions, and Slack-provided assistant context. Fixes #80787. Thanks @mobybot27.
• Agents/subagents: route group/channel subagent completions through message-tool-only handoffs when required and keep active-requester wake failures from dropping completion delivery. Fixes #82803. Thanks @galiniliev, @yozakura-ava, and @moeedahmed.
• Memory-core: scan persisted memory source sessions on startup, comparing on-disk transcripts against the index and marking only missing/newer/resized files dirty for incremental sync. Fixes #82341. (#82341) Thanks @giodl73-repo.
• Telegram: keep the top-level default account in the account list when named accounts or bindings are added alongside top-level credentials, preserving default polling while still letting named-only configs resolve to a single account. Fixes #82794. (#82794) Thanks @giodl73-repo.
• WhatsApp: honor forced document delivery for outbound image, GIF, and video media so `forceDocument`/`asDocument` sends preserve original media bytes instead of using compressed media payloads. (#79272) Thanks @itsuzef.
• Gateway/usage: refresh large session usage summaries in the background and reuse durable transcript metadata so `sessions.usage` no longer blocks Gateway requests on full transcript rescans. Fixes #82773. (#82778) Thanks @hclsys.
• TUI: restore the submitted draft when chat is busy instead of clearing it or queueing another run. Fixes #45326. (#82774) Thanks @hyspacex.
• Browser plugin: redact attach-details from Chrome MCP diagnostics and keep raw Chrome launch error output around long enough to surface in user reports without leaking sensitive paths.
• System prompts: clarify MEMORY guidance over generic TTS hints in the embedded speech-core/system-prompt scaffolding so agents prefer memory-store usage over speech defaults. Fixes #81930. Thanks @giodl73-repo.
• Agents/auth: include the checked credential source in missing API key errors, so users can see which env var, profile, or config path to fix. Fixes #82785. Thanks @loeclos.
• Providers/GitHub Copilot: hash Responses replay item ids with sha256 instead of a weak 32-bit hash and build same-provider Copilot tool-call ids distinctly, so concurrent tool-call replays no longer collide and reject follow-up turns.
• Agents/replay: normalize malformed assistant replay content before transport conversion while preserving empty-stop replay repair, so bad provider history no longer crashes with non-iterable content. Fixes #43795. (#82748) Thanks @IWhatsskill.
• Gateway/macOS: write LaunchAgent stdout under `~/Library/Logs/openclaw`, suppress stderr, and attach stdin to `/dev/null` so launchd startup avoids symlinked state-dir log failures and silent module-evaluation hangs. Fixes #40207 and #46153. Thanks @dhruvkelawala and @frankr.
• CLI/configure: let model-only section setup enter provider auth directly instead of first asking where the Gateway runs, unblocking OAuth/token setup in terminals where that unrelated prompt is unresponsive. Fixes #39223. Thanks @LevityLeads.
• Providers/Anthropic-messages: extract `reasoning_content` from `thinking` blocks during assistant replay so proxy providers that route through the Anthropic-messages transport preserve reasoning context across tool-call follow-up turns. Thanks @Sunnyone2three.
• Agents/GitHub Copilot: normalize replayed Responses tool-call IDs before dispatch so resumed sessions with historical overlong tool IDs continue instead of failing Copilot schema validation. (#82750) Thanks @galiniliev.
• CLI/web: resolve provider-scoped web search/fetch SecretRefs for `infer web ... --provider ...` while leaving unrelated plugin secrets untouched. Fixes #82621. Thanks @leno23.
• Providers/Anthropic Vertex: resolve installed provider public surfaces from package-local `dist/`, restoring `anthropic-vertex/*` model calls after plugin externalization. Fixes #82781. Thanks @0L1v3DaD.
• Gateway/exec approvals: bind path-shaped allowlists, safe-bin trust, skill auto-allow, Allow Always persistence, and approval audit metadata to the executable realpath so symlinked binaries cannot keep approvals after retargeting. Fixes #45595. Thanks @jasonftl.
• Mac app: let menu gateway/session error text wrap across a few lines and stop rebuilding dynamic Context/Gateway menu rows while the menu is open, reducing flicker.
• Mac app: make device pairing approval sheets friendlier, with concise Mac/device copy, shortened identifiers, friendly scope labels, and Approve as the primary action.
• Providers/Qwen: honor session thinking level for `qwen-chat-template` payloads so `/think off` disables nested llama.cpp chat-template thinking controls. Fixes #82768. Thanks @bfox55.
• Feishu/wiki: reject numeric wiki space IDs before creating Lark clients and keep numeric-looking IDs documented as quoted opaque strings, preventing JavaScript precision loss in knowledge base calls. Fixes #45301. (#82769) Thanks @hyspacex.
• Control UI: simplify Talk settings to Voice, Model, and Sensitivity defaults, with provider, transport, exact VAD, and timing controls behind Advanced.
• Telegram: let catch-all mention patterns match captionless group photos, so media-only group messages reach the agent when the group is intentionally configured to respond to all messages. Fixes #44833. (#82756) Thanks @IWhatsskill.
• Gateway/pairing: reject forged loopback Control UI origins from non-local proxy paths, and keep mobile pairing setup on Tailscale bind mode pointing users to Tailscale Serve/Funnel instead of cleartext tailnet WebSockets.
• Telegram/Gateway: persist isolated polling offsets only after main-thread dispatch and preserve gateway caller scopes for Telegram message actions, fixing consumed-but-unrouted polling updates and recursive CLI send scope approvals. Fixes #82277. (#82705) Thanks @udaymanish6.
• Memory-core: abort timed-out embedding provider calls so remote embedding HTTP requests do not continue running after memory query or indexing timeouts. Fixes #82732. Thanks @adityarya24.
• Channels/stream previews: contain rejected background draft-stream flushes so preview send failures do not surface as fatal unhandled rejections. Fixes #82712. (#82713) Thanks @coygeek.
• Codex/app-server: keep shared native app-server clients isolated per agent runtime key so starting one agent no longer closes another agent's active Codex turn. Fixes #82758. Thanks @PashaGanson.
• Providers/OpenAI Codex: include base `gpt-5.5` and `gpt-5.4` reasoning metadata in the bundled Codex catalog so `/think xhigh` remains available for those models. Fixes #82744.
• Providers/OpenAI Codex: keep the native hook relay as the final Codex app-server thread config patch so hook-backed approvals stay enabled even when lower-priority config disables hooks. Thanks @solomonneas.
• Providers/MiniMax: declare CN endpoint auth aliases in the plugin manifest so `minimax-cn` and `minimax-portal-cn` reuse the correct base auth profiles instead of falling back to unrelated models after 401s. Fixes #63823. Thanks @kamusis.
• Secrets/audit: treat `$VAR` auth-profile values as env SecretRefs and stop reporting env-ref credentials as plaintext, including mixed `keyRef` plus env-ref profile states. Fixes #53998. Thanks @schirloc and @artwalker.
• Agents/model fallback: suppress fallback notices when the active OpenAI Codex runtime reports the same canonical OpenAI model.
• Agents/music generation: remove model-controlled request timeouts, default internal provider requests to five minutes, and keep configured timeouts at a 120-second floor.
• Agents/media generation: stop logging delivered failure summaries as missing message-tool delivery when no generated media was expected.
• Agents/sessions: prioritize manual user turns ahead of queued cron and maintenance work in the same session lane, so visible follow-ups no longer wait behind background runs. Fixes #82764. (#82765) Thanks @galiniliev.
• Agents/edit tool: honor `file_path` and related path aliases when resolving edit-recovery targets, so post-write errors no longer surface false edit failures after the file actually changed. Fixes #81909. Thanks @giodl73-repo.
• QQBot: treat only explicit truthy `QQBOT_DEBUG` values as enabling debug logs, so false-like values such as `0` no longer expose debug output. Fixes #82644. (#82697) Thanks @leno23.
• Agents/session_status: resolve implicit no-arg status lookups against the live run session, so `/think` changes report the current thinking level instead of stale sandbox state. Fixes #82669. (#82696) Thanks @leno23.
• Discord: keep progress drafts visible for message-tool-only guild replies under the default coding tool profile. Fixes #82747. Thanks @eliranwong.
• Discord: keep unmentioned room-event history until a visible Discord send succeeds, so quiet ambient context does not disappear before message-tool delivery. (#82573) Thanks @obviyus.
• CLI/setup: order the model/auth provider picker as OpenAI, Anthropic, xAI, Google, then the remaining providers alphabetically.
• Diagnostics/usage/voice-call: treat explicit zero and non-finite limits as empty results and reject invalid voice-call numeric CLI flags. Fixes #82646, #82650, #82651, and #82653. (#82679) Thanks @leno23.
• CLI/config: avoid redundant startup config/plugin checks for the guided `openclaw config` flow and show progress while source checkout CLI artifacts build or load.
• Config/Mac app: accept `gateway.remote.remotePort` in core config validation so Mac SSH remote setup stays compatible with the CLI.
• Gateway/diagnostics: add opt-in critical memory pressure stability snapshots with gateway logs, V8 heap, cgroup, active-resource, and redacted large session-file evidence. Fixes #82518.
• Doctor/Gateway: avoid treating unrelated macOS LaunchAgents as legacy gateways just because their environment values mention old checkout paths.
• Gateway/heartbeat: defer heartbeat runs while the target reply operation is queued or active, preventing heartbeat prompts from interleaving with WebChat responses before the streaming lane starts. Fixes #82722. Thanks @Andy-Xie-1145.
• CLI/setup: collapse raw gateway config keys in existing-config summaries into friendly `Model` and `Gateway` rows.
• CLI/config: show concise human config-write output with an indented backup path instead of printing checksum-heavy overwrite audit details by default.
• CLI/docs: call the canonical lowercase docs MCP search tool and surface MCP errors instead of returning empty search results. Fixes #82702. (#82704) Thanks @hclsys.
• QA-Lab: add gateway log sentinels for plugin hook failures, Codex app-server stalls/timeouts, cron allowlist drift, live quota blockers, and direct-reply self-message transcripts so harness proof fails on self-health regressions. (#80323) Thanks @100yenadmin.
• QA-Lab: ignore heartbeat-only operational transcripts when capturing runtime parity cells so background checks cannot replace the scenario reply. (#80323) Thanks @100yenadmin.
• QA-Lab: pin threaded-memory parity runs to `memory-core`, keep bundled plugin resolution enabled for QA commands, and retry transient session-store lock reads. (#72045) Thanks @WuKongAI-CMU.
• QA-Lab/qa-channel: keep mock memory ranking, inbound media notes, and opened-file realpath checks stable for mock OpenAI qa-channel runs. (#66826) Thanks @gumadeiras.
• Gateway/exec approvals: wait for accepted async approval follow-up runs instead of direct-fallback sending duplicate completions when retries use different nonce keys. Fixes #82711. (#82717) Thanks @udaymanish6.
• Agents/subagents: mark completed subagent handoffs as ready for parent review so requester agents verify results and continue required follow-up work before reporting done. (#82724) Thanks @100menotu001.
• QA-Lab: validate Capture saved views loaded from browser storage so malformed local state cannot poison Capture inspector filters or layout controls. (#77722) Thanks @AsaZhou923.
• Agents/performance: reuse prepared plugin manifest metadata across local CLI turns, model catalog normalization, auth lookups, and tool capability checks, restoring fast pre-provider startup for plugin-heavy installs. Thanks @shakkernerd.
• CLI/config: add `--dry-run` support to `openclaw config unset`, with `--json` output and allow-exec validation parity with `config set`/`config patch` dry-run handling. (#81895) Thanks @giodl73-repo.
• CLI/infer: resolve command SecretRefs before local provider-backed capability runs, so web search/fetch and other local infer commands can use plugin-scoped credential refs. Fixes #82621. (#82798) Thanks @joshavant.
• Memory-core: retry disabled dreaming cron cleanup until cron is available after startup, so persisted managed dreaming jobs are removed after restart. Fixes #82383. (#82389) Thanks @neeravmakwana.
• Providers/xAI: keep retired Grok 3, Grok 4 Fast, Grok 4.1 Fast, and Grok Code slugs out of model pickers while preserving compatibility resolution for existing configs.
• Providers/xAI: replace the retired `grok-imagine-image-pro` image model with `grok-imagine-image-quality` in the bundled image-generation provider and docs. (#81399) Thanks @KateWilkins.
• Providers/OAuth: let browser-hosted identity provider pages read successful localhost callback responses, preventing xAI Grok OAuth from showing a false connection failure after OpenClaw completes login.
• Gateway/security: reject malformed HTTP and WebSocket request targets with the existing auth failure response instead of letting invalid URL parsing crash the Gateway. Fixes GHSA-6hc3-f4rg-377m.
• Browser/CDP: redact credential-bearing Chrome MCP and managed Chrome launch diagnostics, and require exact loopback entries before treating `NO_PROXY` as already covering local CDP proxy bypasses.
• Gateway/diagnostics: redact credential-bearing gateway target URLs and client diagnostics while preserving raw connection URLs for programmatic use, so connect-failure logs no longer surface embedded tokens.
• Gateway/auth: honor `OPENCLAW_GATEWAY_TOKEN` as the remote interactive fallback when no remote token is configured, keeping remote TUI setup aligned with documented auth precedence.
• Providers/xAI: continue polling video generations while xAI reports in-flight jobs as `pending`, so Grok video requests no longer fail before the final `done` response. (#82610) Thanks @Manzojunior.
• Logs: redact raw Basic auth and named security headers from `logs.tail` output before returning lines to read-scoped clients. Fixes #66832. Thanks @Magicray1217.
• CLI/gateway: emit structured JSON for gateway transport close/timeout failures when `--json` is requested by health, gateway health, and devices list commands. Fixes #79108. Thanks @TurboTheTurtle.
• Telegram: normalize announce group targets via a new `resolveSessionTarget` channel hook so scheduled announcements resolve consistently against the same Telegram session conversation registry as inbound turns. Fixes #81229. Thanks @giodl73-repo.
• QA/RTT: let `pnpm rtt` lease Convex-backed Telegram credentials while preserving RTT sample counts, sample timeouts, and result stats on the RTT harness path.
• Discord: bind delayed gateway `identify` retries to the originating socket generation so retries triggered after a reconnect do not identify against a fresh socket. Fixes #82225. Thanks @giodl73-repo.
• ACP/control plane: refresh cached runtime handles when agent config changes so ACP sessions stop using stale runtimes after `agents.defaults` edits. Fixes #82237. Thanks @giodl73-repo.
• Gateway/sessions: scope session data lookups by agent id so multi-agent gateway state cannot cross-leak session records across configured agents. (#81386) Thanks @pgondhi987.
• Gateway/restart: mark active main sessions as restart-aborted before forced restarts so startup recovery can resume interrupted turns instead of leaving them stranded as running. Fixes #82433. (#82772) Thanks @joshavant.
• Agents/media: require generated music/video completion agents to use the message tool for visible delivery and stop merging generated image attachments into message-tool-only source reply mirrors, avoiding direct fallback posts that can duplicate media the model already sent.
• Agents/media: accept generated media attachments on internal completion events and report delivery-loss failures as errors, so completed background music/video tasks do not disappear after provider success.
• Matrix/approvals: release in-flight reaction bindings when the channel approval handler stops mid-delivery, preventing stale approval targets after restart. Fixes #82485. (#82482) Thanks @Feelw00.
• Matrix/E2EE: stop requesting MSC4222 `state_after` sync responses so homeservers with incomplete state-after data do not leave fresh encrypted rooms without outbound room encryptors. Fixes #82515. Thanks @nickdecooman.
• TUI: update the displayed model in real time when an auto-fallback resolution swaps in a different model mid-turn, so the status line reflects the actual model handling the run. Fixes #82296. Thanks @giodl73-repo.
• Gateway/sessions: estimate context usage from local/OpenAI-compatible transcripts when provider usage telemetry is missing, so status no longer shows empty usage for real local-model sessions. Fixes #73990. (#82317) Thanks @giodl73-repo.
• Update/installers: override npm `min-release-age` quarantine for OpenClaw-managed package installs, so `openclaw update`, plugin updates, and hosted installer scripts can install the requested latest release immediately.
• Agents/sessions: preserve fresh post-compaction token snapshots across stale usage updates, preventing repeated auto-compaction after every message. Fixes #82576. (#82578) Thanks @njuboy11.
• Agents/replies: preserve active inbound reply context at the LLM boundary so Discord referenced-message turns do not answer from stale session history. Fixes #82608. (#82801) Thanks @joshavant.
• Agents/OpenAI Responses: log redacted diagnostics for detail-less `response.failed` events while preserving failed response ids, so operators can correlate provider-side failures. Fixes #82558.
• Agents/OpenRouter: strip non-replayable Anthropic/xAI reasoning provenance tags from follow-up requests, preventing poisoned thinking signatures from breaking second turns. Fixes #82335. (#82380) Thanks @hclsys.
• Providers/xAI: send configurable reasoning effort only for Grok 4.3, preserving xAI's default low reasoning while omitting unsupported controls for Grok 4.20 reasoning models. (#81227) Thanks @jason-allen-oneal.
• Image generation: raise Google, OpenRouter, and xAI hosted provider default timeouts to 180 seconds so slow hosted image requests have more time to complete. (#75337)
• Agents/auth: redact OAuth refresh failure causes against in-memory, attempted, and reloaded credentials before generic token masking while ensuring failed ACP dispatch cleanup closes initialized runtimes.
• Google/Gemini CLI OAuth: add provider-owned refresh support for `google-gemini-cli` so expired Gemini CLI tokens refresh in OpenClaw instead of falling through to the generic unknown-provider path. Fixes #42541. Thanks @jason-allen-oneal.
• Agents/Anthropic transport: replay `reasoning_content` from compatible thinking blocks for Xiaomi/MiMo-style Anthropic Messages routes, preventing follow-up turns from losing required reasoning context. Fixes #81261. Thanks @Sunnyone2three.
• Telegram: cache successful startup bot identity by account and token fingerprint for up to 24 hours, so restarts can skip redundant `getMe` probes during Telegram API slow periods without permanently pinning renamed bots. Refs #82525.
• Telegram: keep streamed text replies in place when delayed TTS audio arrives, sending the audio as a follow-up instead of deleting the preview. Fixes #82570. (#82820) Thanks @joshavant.
• Gateway/sessions: discard stale metadata when recreating dead main session rows, so replacement sessions do not inherit old labels or transcript paths.
• Codex app-server: mark native context compaction completion events as successful, preventing false "Compaction incomplete" notices after successful Codex-managed compaction. Fixes #82470. (#81593) Thanks @Kyzcreig.
• Codex app-server: keep long-running turns alive while current-turn approvals, user input, dynamic tools, and notifications make progress, and carry that progress into the outer run timeout. (#82601) Thanks @100yenadmin.
• Gateway/channels: hand off traced channel account startup outside the startup diagnostic phase so long-lived channel tasks do not keep liveness warnings pinned to channel startup. Refs #82398.
• Gateway/restart: queue restart and shutdown signals received while the gateway startup loop is still returning its server handle, so startup-time restarts are not dropped during update churn. (#82660) Thanks @samzong.
• Gateway/restart: carry operator restart intent reasons into macOS LaunchAgent restart traces, so cascade diagnostics identify `gateway.restart` instead of a bare SIGTERM.
• GitHub Copilot: route device-login requests through the plugin SSRF guard with a GitHub-only policy.
• Group/channel replies: keep message-tool-preferred final replies private when the agent misses the message tool, and log suppressed payload metadata in the gateway debug log for quieter diagnosis.
• Gateway/WebChat: route image attachments through a configured vision-capable `imageModel` plan before inlining images, and carry that image-model fallback chain through runtime retries. (#82524) Thanks @frankekn.
• macOS app: open the Dashboard in a native WebKit window with standard macOS traffic-light controls, keep the Dock icon visible by default, and reuse the app's connected gateway auth for automatic Control UI login.
• WebChat: show progress while manual `/compact` is running by streaming a session operation event to subscribed Control UI clients. Fixes #82407. Thanks @Conan-Scott.
• Codex app-server: limit canonical OpenAI Codex app-server attribution rewrites to local transcript and trajectory records, leaving runtime/tool routing on the selected OpenAI model metadata so OpenAI API-key backup profiles keep their billing path.
• Codex app-server: hide native tool-search control tools from dynamic tool exposure while preserving the message tool.
• Android/chat: make bare and markdown URLs in chat messages tappable by preserving Compose URL annotations in rendered markdown. Fixes #82187. (#82392) Thanks @neeravmakwana.
• Plugins/doctor: migrate legacy top-level plugin `tools` declarations into `contracts.tools`, so `openclaw doctor --fix` repairs local plugins for the manifest tool contract. (#81112) Thanks @100yenadmin.
• Slack: guide agents to use stable `<@USER_ID>` mention tokens from context instead of plain `@name` text, so user mentions link and notify correctly. Fixes #82090. (#82152) Thanks @neeravmakwana.
• Auth: serialize provider login writes through the auth-profile lock for OpenAI Codex, Anthropic, Cloudflare AI Gateway, GitHub Copilot, and z.ai, preserving upsert semantics so a live Gateway cannot overwrite freshly refreshed OAuth credentials with an expired in-memory snapshot.
• Auth/Codex: remove runtime support for `oauthRef` sidecar-backed OAuth profiles and add a doctor repair that migrates affected Codex profiles back to inline `auth-profiles.json` credentials. (#82777) Thanks @joshavant.
• Slack: keep DM thread replies on the main direct-message session instead of routing them to invisible thread-scoped sessions. Refs #82390. (#82418) Thanks @kagura-agent.
• Auth/macOS: avoid creating the OAuth profile master key in Keychain automatically, falling back to the file-backed secret key so headless agents do not trigger a Keychain prompt.
• Codex app-server: release raw assistant completions when `turn/completed` is missing while keeping commentary/status items as progress, preventing completed Codex runs from hanging until timeout. Fixes #82343. (#82403) Thanks @IWhatsskill.
• Codex app-server: keep a bounded terminal guard after post-tool raw assistant completions so missing `turn/completed` events fail fast instead of leaving embedded runs stuck. Fixes #82775. (#82816) Thanks @joshavant.
• Agents/sessions: remove the transient `*.bak-<pid>-<ts>` backup written by `repairSessionFileIfNeeded` once the atomic replace succeeds, so a stuck session with a persistently malformed JSONL line no longer accumulates one snapshot per repair invocation. Fixes #80960. (#80969) Thanks @100yenadmin. Co-authored by @tynamite.
• CLI/status: show plain empty-state messages instead of empty Channels and Sessions tables when no channels or sessions exist.
• CLI/dashboard: probe Gateway readiness before handing out the dashboard URL, prompting to start or install the managed service when the Gateway is stopped and printing recovery commands instead of opening a dead browser tab.
• CLI/dashboard: treat Gateway `device identity required` probes as proof that the dashboard listener is reachable, so `openclaw dashboard` can still open the Control UI.
• CLI: hide decorative startup and status emoji on terminals that are unlikely to render them correctly, keeping semantic message and identity emoji intact.
• CLI/gateway: recover the Linux user systemd bus environment when `openclaw dashboard` starts the Gateway from stripped desktop shells such as VNC terminals.
• Gateway/WebSocket: log expected startup `1013 gateway starting` retry closes at debug instead of warn while preserving WARN for unexpected pre-connect failures. Fixes #76361. (#82457) Thanks @IWhatsskill.
• Providers/Xiaomi: strip synthetic empty array `items` from MiMo tool schemas while preserving typed array items, avoiding strict OpenAI-compatible schema rejection.
• Telegram: send the transcript-backed full final answer after progress-mode tool drafts when the dispatcher final payload is an ellipsis-truncated snapshot. Fixes #82409. Thanks @PashaGanson.
• Providers/Ollama: omit truthy native `think` payloads for models marked non-reasoning while preserving supported thinking models and explicit `think: false`. (#82445) Thanks @leno23.
• Update/channels: preserve pre-update channel config through package-swap doctor and post-core plugin repair so externalized channel upgrades do not drop configured chat channels. Fixes #82533. Thanks @imbaig.
• CLI/context engines: bootstrap and finalize non-legacy context engines for CLI turns while preserving transcript snapshots and deferred maintenance ownership. (#81869) Thanks @sahilsatralkar.
• Telegram: persist polling updates through restart replay so queued same-topic messages resume in order instead of losing context after a gateway restart. (#82256) Thanks @VACInc.
• Gateway/Gmail: abort in-flight Gmail watcher startup and hot-reload restarts before shutdown so reloads cannot spawn `gog serve` after the Gateway is closing. Thanks @frankekn.
• Agents/Codex: fall back to the embedded PI runner when OpenAI's implicit Codex harness preference cannot find a registered Codex plugin, preventing OpenAI-compatible gateway requests from failing with an unregistered harness error. Fixes #82437.
• Agents/OpenAI: honor `openai-codex:*` entries placed ahead of API-key backups in `auth.order.openai` for explicit OpenAI PI runs, and accept `models auth login --provider openai-codex --device-code` for headless sign-in. Fixes #82521. (#82605)
• CLI/channels: install missing externalized same-id channel plugins during `channels add --channel <id>`, so recovery for WhatsApp and other externalized stock channels does not require a separate `plugins enable` step. Fixes #82533.
• MCP plugin tools: forward host MCP `tools/call` `AbortSignal` through `createPluginToolsMcpHandlers().callTool` into plugin `tool.execute`, so host cancellation actually cancels in-flight plugin tool calls instead of letting them run to completion. Fixes #82424. (#82443) Thanks @joshavant.
• Agents/sandbox: honor explicit Docker sandbox env variables with credential-looking names during container creation, and recreate affected sandbox containers when the effective env policy changes. Fixes #82695. (#82763) Thanks @joshavant.
• Plugins: accept deprecated `api.on("deactivate")` registrations as a dated compatibility alias for `gateway_stop`, so external plugin cleanup handlers run on Gateway shutdown while authors get migration guidance.
• Plugins: resolve bundled entry, dist-runtime, package-state, and public artifact paths from packaged roots, so bundled plugin probes and hardlinked public surfaces no longer fall back to source files or fail during restart. Fixes #78462. Fixes #75797. Refs #76865. Thanks @ginishuh and @ymebosma.
• Media: ignore image MIME and filename hints when bytes sniff as generic containers, so zip/octet-stream payloads mislabeled as images do not become local image media or keep image file extensions when staged.
• Update/doctor: avoid materializing `groupAllowFrom` for channel schemas that reject it, so package-swap doctor repairs do not fail on externalized Slack configs.
• Gateway/media: prevent image filenames from overriding generic non-image byte sniffing, so zip/octet-stream payloads mislabeled as images are offloaded or rejected before they become inline image attachments.
• Plugins/web search: downgrade stale optional provider installs to warnings so Gateway and doctor repair paths keep running after startup provider selection. Refs #82313. Thanks @crackmac.
• Telegram/Gateway: route targeted Telegram `/stop@bot` messages onto the control lane without cached bot metadata and match gateway stop requests across raw/canonical session aliases. (#82298) Thanks @VACInc.
• MS Teams/media: sniff inline `data:image/*` attachment bytes before staging them, skipping payloads that are not actually images.
• WebChat/media: require trusted local-media provenance before preserving local audio reply paths for display, so untrusted audio-looking paths go through normal staging and read-policy checks.
• WebChat: trust local Auto-TTS audio on block-streamed replies, including ACP-dispatched tails, so synthesized browser audio renders instead of being silently dropped. Fixes #82628. (#82701) Thanks @leno23.
• Agents/tool media: preserve trusted local-media provenance when merging generated tool attachments into final reply payloads, so trusted audio/media survives outbound display normalization.
• Anthropic/Claude CLI: write model-scoped `claude-cli` runtime policy when reusing local Claude CLI auth, so upgraded Telegram and Dashboard gateway turns keep using the CLI backend instead of falling through to Anthropic API billing. Fixes #82344. Thanks @amknight.
• Update: let package-swap `doctor --fix` persist core config repairs while plugin schemas are still converging, preventing update failures on externalized channel configs.
• Update: carry plugin-validation bypasses into config mutation pre-write reads, so package update doctor repairs can finish while externalized plugin schemas are converging.
• Update/doctor: keep plugin-validation bypasses on the top-level `$include` config write path, so package repair can update included plugin config files without flattening them into the root config.
• Agents/subagents: warn and continue completion announce cleanup when lifecycle cleanup fails, preventing ended subagent runs from becoming silent ghosts. Fixes #82306. Thanks @SebTardif.
• Telegram: let authorized text `/stop` commands use the fast-abort path before queued agent work, so active turns stop immediately instead of processing the abort after the turn finishes; foreign-bot `/stop@otherbot` mentions now stay on the regular topic lane instead of being routed into our control lane. Fixes #82162. Thanks @civiltox.
• Sessions: drop persisted entries with invalid session ids and strip malformed transcript file metadata before hydrating session runtime state.
• Auth/device: normalize malformed persisted device-auth token metadata before returning or preserving token entries.
• Pairing: skip malformed persisted pending pairing requests before approving valid channel pairing codes.
• Commitments: strip malformed optional reminder scope metadata from persisted commitments before matching pending follow-ups.
• Config persistence: normalize malformed auth profile credential fields/state, skip JSON-valid garbage transcript checkpoint rows, and let `openclaw doctor --fix` remove unrepairable cron job rows.
• Cron: skip persisted job rows with malformed schedule or payload shapes in memory, leaving the store for `openclaw doctor --fix` instead of hydrating them into runtime state.
• Cron: keep legacy string schedules and blank system-event jobs available for runtime repair/skip handling instead of dropping them as malformed persisted rows.
• Cron: reject empty scheduled main/isolated payloads before persisting jobs, keeping runtime stores compatible with malformed-row hardening.
• Task persistence: drop malformed array/scalar requester-origin JSON from task and task-flow SQLite sidecars instead of restoring it as delivery metadata.
• Agents/timeouts: clarify model idle-timeout errors and docs so provider `timeoutSeconds` is shown as bounded by the whole agent/run timeout ceiling.
• Agents/OpenAI streams: yield cooperatively while processing bursty Completions and Responses chunks, keeping aborts, channel liveness timers, and startup heartbeats responsive under noisy model output. Refs #82462.
• Media/images: avoid broad model/plugin discovery while preparing image requests, preventing Windows event-loop stalls that could block Telegram polling. Fixes #82338. (#82799) Thanks @joshavant.
• Release tooling: align the published launcher Node floor, `npm start`, package script checks, sharded lint locking, Vitest root project coverage, and plugin-SDK declaration build cache metadata so release/package validation does not silently skip or ship stale surfaces.
• Cron/agents: honor configured subagent model fallbacks for isolated scheduled runs and forward that fallback policy into embedded agent timeout failover. Fixes #74985. Thanks @chrisgwynne.
• Codex app-server/MCP: scope user MCP servers to specific OpenClaw agent ids through an optional `mcp.servers.<name>.codex.agents` list and accept `codex.defaultToolsApprovalMode` (`auto`/`prompt`/`approve`) for native Codex approval defaults; OpenClaw strips the `codex` block before handing `mcp_servers` config to Codex. (#82180) Thanks @sercada.
• Agents/OpenAI Responses: clamp `input_tokens - cached_tokens` at zero and reconstruct `totalTokens` from input + output + cached components so Responses-API streams report consistent usage when providers under-report `input_tokens` relative to `cached_tokens`.
• Agents: mark adapter-caught tool execution failures as error tool results in embedded Pi sessions, so models can retry recoverable edit failures instead of seeing a successful tool result. Fixes #81546. (#81564) Thanks @najef1979-code and @MonkeyLeeT.
• Plugins: reject malformed `package.json` `openclaw.extensions` metadata during install, discovery, and post-update payload smoke instead of silently dropping invalid entries.
• Plugins: reject package metadata records whose `package.json` resolves outside the plugin root instead of trusting persisted or reconstructed registry snapshots.
• Plugins: ignore malformed persisted package channel/install metadata instead of crashing catalog reconstruction or leaking invalid install hints.
• Plugin releases: reject package `files` negations that would omit advertised package-local runtime entries from npm plugin tarballs.
• Media/files: sniff `input_file` bytes before trusting declared MIME headers, rejecting spoofed image or zip payloads before they become agent-visible text.
• Plugins/dependencies: scrub stale managed-root `openclaw` ownership metadata without deleting a linked active host package, preventing plugin installs from downgrading npm-global hosts. Fixes #79462. Thanks @lisandromachado.
• Gateway/update: keep shutdown hook-runner imports on a stable dist entry and ship a legacy chunk alias so package swaps do not strand running gateways on missing shutdown chunks. Fixes #81819. Thanks @najef1979-code.
• Config persistence: ignore malformed array/scalar auth profile, cron job state, and session store entries instead of hydrating them into numeric profile ids, crashed cron rows, or invalid session records.
• Config persistence: strip malformed pending final-delivery session fields on load so replay/recovery paths skip poisoned reply metadata instead of crashing on raw objects.
• Config persistence: strip malformed plugin extension state and promoted session-slot ownership on load so corrupted session rows do not leak poisoned plugin metadata into replay/projection paths.
• Gateway/sessions: ignore malformed compaction checkpoint rows during session projection so corrupted stores do not crash session list/describe responses or show bogus checkpoint counts.
• Gateway/sessions: keep reachable transcript history when imported tree transcripts reference missing or legacy parent rows, preventing session history reads from going empty after a partial import.
• Trajectory export: report incomplete transcript parent chains and stop cyclic branch walks so malformed imports cannot hang `/export-trajectory`.
• Session replay: skip malformed user/assistant-shaped transcript rows during silent session resets instead of copying invalid entries into the fresh transcript.
• Backup verify: report malformed archive manifests with a stable error instead of leaking raw JSON parser details.
• Session export: report skipped malformed transcript JSONL rows instead of silently omitting them from exported HTML archives.
• Providers: reject malformed successful Runway, BytePlus, and Ollama embedding responses with provider-owned errors instead of raw parser/type failures, silent bad vectors, or long bogus polling.
• Providers/images: reject malformed successful OpenAI-compatible, OpenAI, Google, fal, and OpenRouter image responses with provider-owned errors instead of raw shape failures, silent invalid base64 skips, or empty image results.
• Providers/videos: reject malformed successful xAI, OpenRouter, and fal video create, poll, and result responses with provider-owned errors instead of raw parser failures or long bogus polling.
• Providers/videos: let selected-model capability overlays clear inherited `providerOptions`, so fallback skips models that explicitly accept no provider-specific options instead of forwarding unsupported knobs.
• TTS/providers: honor preferred provider aliases when routing model override directives, so alias-selected speech providers receive unqualified `[[tts:*]]` overrides.
• Providers/audio: reject malformed successful OpenAI-compatible, ElevenLabs, and Deepgram speech responses with provider-owned errors instead of raw parser failures, wrong-shaped transcripts, or JSON/text bodies treated as audio.
• Providers/embeddings: reject malformed successful OpenAI-compatible, Google Gemini, and Amazon Bedrock embedding responses instead of silently returning empty or coerced vectors.
• Providers/catalogs: reject malformed successful LM Studio, GitHub Copilot, DeepInfra, Vercel AI Gateway, and Kilocode model-list responses with provider-owned errors instead of raw parser/type failures or silent fallback catalogs.
• Providers/polling: reject array, null, or scalar successful operation status responses with provider-owned malformed JSON errors instead of waiting until timeout.
• ACPX/Codex: reap plugin-local Codex ACP adapter orphans on startup after wrapper crashes while keeping direct adapter commands out of launch-lease injection. Fixes #82364. (#82459) Thanks @joshavant.
• Agents/model fallback: periodically probe the configured primary for auto-pinned fallback sessions, announce fallback/recovery transitions, and clear the pin when it recovers, preventing sessions from staying on a fallback model indefinitely. Fixes #82544. Thanks @crpol.
• Telegram: send presentation-only payloads by rendering fallback text and inline buttons instead of treating them as empty. Fixes #82404. (#82449) Thanks @joshavant.
• Providers/Kimi: preserve Kimi Coding `reasoning_content` replay and backfill assistant tool-call placeholders when thinking is enabled, so `kimi-for-coding` follow-up tool turns no longer fail after prior tool use. Fixes #82161. Thanks @amknight.
• Providers/search tools: reject malformed successful xAI, Gemini, and Kimi web/code search responses with provider-owned errors instead of silent `No response` payloads or ungrounded fallback state.
• Trajectory export: skip and report malformed session/runtime JSONL rows in `manifest.json` instead of letting wrong-shaped session rows crash support bundle export.
• Voice calls: persist rejected inbound-call replay keys so duplicate carrier webhook retries stay ignored after a Gateway restart.
• Config/doctor: copy fallback-enabled channel `allowFrom` entries into explicit `groupAllowFrom` allowlists during `openclaw doctor --fix`, preserving current group access without adding runtime fallback-transition flags.
• Config/doctor: replace source-only official Brave and Slack plugin installs from trusted catalog metadata during `openclaw doctor --fix`, unblocking externalized stock plugin recovery after upgrade. (#82425) Thanks @joshavant.
• Config/memory: warn instead of rejecting configs that select the official external `memory-lancedb` slot before the plugin is installed, with an explicit no-persistent-memory startup warning and install hint. Fixes #82428. (#82438) Thanks @giodl73-repo.
• Agents/bootstrap: ignore stale completed root `BOOTSTRAP.md` context after workspace setup cleanup fails, preventing channel agent turns from treating it as a directory. (#82463) Thanks @joshavant.
• Update/doctor: re-enable the Codex plugin during `openclaw doctor --fix` when configured OpenAI agent models require the Codex runtime, preventing upgraded configs from failing with an unregistered Codex harness. Fixes #82368. (#82502) Thanks @joshavant.
• Configure: show one OpenAI provider entry with ChatGPT/Codex sign-in and API key choices, and keep browsed Codex models in the saved `/model` picker allowlist.
• Agents/model fallback: preserve auto fallback chains across deferred config reloads when session fallback provenance survives but `modelOverrideSource` is missing. Fixes #81982. Thanks @joshavant.
• Hooks: raise bounded gateway lifecycle hook wait budgets to 5 seconds for shutdown and 10 seconds for pre-restart, giving short restart notification handlers time to finish before shutdown continues. (#82273) Thanks @bryanbaer.
• Plugin releases: require external package compatibility metadata in the npm plugin publish plan, matching the ClawHub package contract before packages ship.
• Agents/OpenAI-compatible: honor per-model `max_completion_tokens`/`max_tokens` params in embedded OpenAI-completions runs so high-token Kimi-style routes keep their configured completion cap. Fixes #82230. Thanks @albert-zen.
• Agents/local: install a local gateway request scope around trusted `openclaw agent --local` runs, so subagent completion announces can use in-process gateway dispatch without crashing. Fixes #82140. Thanks @Kushmaro.
• Cron: keep failed isolated-agent runs from marking successful result delivery when only the failure notification was delivered. Fixes #72985. Thanks @Allenbluff.
• Discord: validate message-read results before normalizing channel history and report unexpected payloads with a Discord boundary error instead of `map is not a function`. Fixes #82252. Thanks @jessewunderlich.
• Agents/runtime: apply `agents.defaults.models["provider/*"].agentRuntime` as provider-wide model runtime policy while preserving exact model runtime precedence. Fixes #82243. Thanks @rendrag-git.
• Model picker: show the effective Codex runtime first for official OpenAI routes while keeping Pi available as an alternate and preserving Pi-first custom OpenAI-compatible providers. Fixes #82269. Thanks @rendrag-git.
• Agents/auto-reply: restrict `NO_REPLY` prompt guidance to automatic group/channel replies, remove legacy silent-reply rewrites, and suppress accidental direct-chat silent tokens instead of delivering fallback text. Fixes #82254. Thanks @absol89.
• Telegram: retain a longer partial-stream preview when a final callback only carries an ellipsis-truncated snapshot, preventing the visible answer and transcript mirror from being replaced by the short preview. Fixes #82239. Thanks @crash2kx.
• Telegram/active-memory: run blocking memory recall through the Telegram provider for direct-message turns even when the hook context carries the raw chat id, preventing embedded recall from launching against an invalid numeric channel. Fixes #82177. Thanks @cslash-zz.
• Control UI/WebChat: keep optimistic image messages from embedding large inline `data:` previews and preserve image-only user turns in chat history, avoiding browser stack overflows when sending image attachments. Fixes #82182. Thanks @ExploreSheep.
• Agents/media: preserve message-tool-only delivery for generated music and video completion handoffs, so group/channel completions do not finish without posting the generated attachment.
• Telegram: drain queued outbound deliveries after polling reconnect confirms fresh `getUpdates` activity, so stale-socket and network recovery do not leave failed replies stranded. Fixes #50040. Refs #82175. Thanks @dmitriiforpost-commits and @shellyrocklobster.
• Gateway/model auth: abort active provider runs when saved auth is removed through the Gateway control plane, refresh live runtime auth snapshots, and surface `stopReason: "auth-revoked"` to clients. Fixes #81987. (#82346) Thanks @joshavant.
• Codex app-server: keep the raw tool-output idle watchdog armed after `custom_tool_call_output` notifications, so post-tool stream silence fails fast instead of waiting for the terminal idle timeout. Fixes #82274. (#82378) Thanks @joshavant.
• Codex app-server: enforce OpenClaw `before_tool_call` policy for Codex-native app-server shell and approval paths, preventing native tool execution from bypassing plugin policy. Fixes #82372. (#82496) Thanks @joshavant.
• Telegram: mark isolated polling ingress unhealthy when a spooled inbound backlog stalls while Bot API polling still succeeds, so gateway/channel health no longer stays green after Telegram DM processing wedges. Fixes #82175. Thanks @shellyrocklobster.
• Telegram: drop expired approval callbacks from isolated polling after approval id expiry so stale inline-button updates do not retry forever across restarts. Fixes #82347. (#82455) Thanks @joshavant.
• Agents: strip Gemini/Gemma `<final>` tags with attributes or self-closing syntax from delivered replies, including strict final-tag streaming enforcement. Fixes #65867. Thanks @grizdum.
• macOS/update: disarm legacy `ai.openclaw.update.*` LaunchAgents when `openclaw update` starts from one, preventing KeepAlive relaunch loops that repeatedly restart the Gateway and replay update continuations. Fixes #82167. Thanks @DougButdorf.
• Agents/replay: strip internal runtime-context metadata and `NO_REPLY` sentinels from provider replay and pending final-delivery recovery so restart and heartbeat resumes do not feed control text back to the model. Fixes #76629. Thanks @fuyizheng3120, @bryan-chx, and @cael-dandelion-cult.
• Agents/replay: skip malformed transcript tail rows when deduping embedded assistant gap-fill, preventing truncated JSONL from duplicating the final assistant reply during replay recovery.
• LINE: acknowledge signed webhook events before agent processing so slow model replies do not cause LINE `request_timeout` delivery failures. Fixes #65375. Thanks @myericho.
• LINE: stop cron recovery from inferring lowercased LINE recipients from canonical session keys, so long-running task replies do not silently retry undeliverable push targets. Fixes #81628. (#81704) Thanks @edenfunf.
• TTS: preserve channel-derived voice-note delivery for `/tts audio` replies even when the provider output is not natively voice-compatible. (#82174) Thanks @xuruiray.
• Codex app-server: preserve inbound sender metadata and source-channel provenance on mirrored user prompts, including failure snapshots, so channel history keeps the original sender identity. (#82184) Thanks @zknicker.
• Codex app-server: yield projector work to the event loop between embedded-run notifications while preserving pre-turn rate-limit capture, reducing gateway stalls from account and MCP status notifications. Fixes #81936. (#82333) Thanks @joshavant.
• Plugins/web search: start the configured web_search provider plugin during gateway startup, including auto-enabled external providers behind allowlists. Fixes #82313. (#82376) Thanks @joshavant.
• Codex account/status: treat metadata-only rate-limit buckets as returned but empty so `/codex status` and `/codex account` report `none returned` instead of counting phantom limits.
• Codex/Lossless: keep Codex explicit compaction on native app-server threads while allowing Lossless through the context-engine slot; `openclaw doctor --fix` now migrates legacy `compaction.provider: "lossless-claw"` config to `plugins.slots.contextEngine`.
• Cron/doctor: report scheduled jobs with explicit `payload.model` overrides, including provider namespace counts and default-model mismatches, so stale cron model pins are visible during auth or billing investigations. Fixes #82151. Thanks @mgonto.
• Codex app-server: keep the short turn-completion idle watchdog armed after the last non-assistant current-turn item completes, so a quiet Codex app-server releases the OpenClaw session lane before the outer attempt timeout. Fixes #82171. (#82172) Thanks @funmerlin.
• Providers/OpenRouter: stop adding empty DeepSeek V4 `reasoning_content` placeholders to assistant tool-call replay messages and strip empty replay artifacts before follow-up Chat Completions requests, so `openrouter/deepseek/deepseek-v4-pro` no longer fails after tool use. Fixes #82150. (#82158) Thanks @luyao618 and @Suquir0.
• OpenAI-compatible providers: honor streaming-usage compatibility metadata when deciding whether to send `stream_options.include_usage`, while keeping bundled Volcengine routes opted in to Ark streaming usage. Refs #44845. (#82181) Thanks @xuruiray.
• Gateway/approvals: treat `turnSourceTo` as optional in `canBridgeNoDeviceChatApprovalFromBackend`, matching the existing optional handling of `turnSourceAccountId` and `turnSourceThreadId`. Channels without a recipient concept (webchat, control-ui) leave `turnSourceTo` null on both the approval snapshot and the replay params, so the prior required-string check rejected every backend replay with `APPROVAL_CLIENT_MISMATCH`. Cross-channel replay is still gated by the required `turnSourceChannel` and `sessionKey` checks. Fixes #82132. (#82136) Thanks @ottodeng.
• OC Path: add `openclaw path set --dry-run --diff` so addressed edits can be reviewed as a unified diff before writing.
• Cron: load runtime plugins before isolated cron model and delivery resolution so external channels can be selected for scheduled runs. (#82111) Thanks @medns.
• Cron: mirror successful direct scheduled deliveries into the resolved destination session transcript while preserving isolated-delivery awareness policy. (#80786) Thanks @cavit99.
• Cron: preserve rotated transcript identity after session-bound scheduled runs compact, so `sessionTarget: "current"` keeps the next user message on the same conversation. Fixes #82164. Thanks @weissfl.
• Twitch: keep gateway accounts running until shutdown instead of treating successful monitor startup as a clean channel exit, preventing immediate auto-restart loops. Fixes #60071. (#81853) Thanks @edenfunf.
• Agents/auto-reply: honor `agents.defaults.silentReply` and per-surface group silent-reply policy when generic agent-run failure fallbacks decide whether to send visible fallback text. Fixes #82060. (#82086) Thanks @taozengabc.
• Discord: render channel topic context as structured untrusted metadata in reply prompts and stop duplicating inbound message bodies or exposing raw `EXTERNAL_UNTRUSTED_CONTENT` envelopes. Fixes #82168. Thanks @ronan-dandelion-cult.
• Codex app-server: arm the short idle watchdog as soon as Codex accepts a turn, so accepted turns with no current-turn progress release the OpenClaw session lane before the outer model timeout. Fixes #82129. Thanks @Francois3d.
• Agents/replies: also strip `<function_response>` workflow output when it becomes visible after an adjacent stripped tool-call XML block, closing the remaining sanitizer leak from #47444. Thanks @5toCode.
• Control UI/WebChat: focus the composer when users click the visible input chrome and restore larger, labeled desktop composer controls while preserving compact mobile taps. Fixes #45656. Thanks @BunsDev.
• Discord: suppress generated link embeds on outbound messages by default so agent-sent URLs stay as plain links unless `channels.discord.suppressEmbeds` is disabled.
• System events: keep owner downgrades in structured metadata while rendering queued prompt text as plain `System:` lines, preserving least-privilege wakeups without prompt-visible trust labels. (#82067)
• Gateway/agents: abort active embedded runs when diagnostics detect a stale native tool call, preventing nested agent sessions from staying deadlocked through restart recovery. Fixes #81976. (#82369) Thanks @joshavant.
• Slack: default outbound bot link unfurls off so agent-sent URLs no longer expand into inline previews unless `channels.slack.unfurlLinks` is enabled. (#82123) Thanks @kibi-bsp.
• Slack: keep finalized draft-preview replies visible when a later same-turn tool warning is delivered normally instead of clearing the edited answer. Fixes #81903. (#81979) Thanks @neeravmakwana.
• Providers/Xiaomi: preserve MiMo `reasoning_content` on multi-turn tool-call replay, including custom Xiaomi-compatible proxy routes, so follow-up turns no longer fail with `400 Param Incorrect`. Fixes #81419. (#81589) Thanks @lovelefeng-glitch and @jimdawdy-hub.
• Slack/plugins: route plugin-owned modal `view_submission` and `view_closed` events through Slack interactive handlers before compacting the agent-visible system event, so plugins can persist full submitted form state while the transcript stays compact. Fixes #82102. Thanks @shannon0430.
• Providers/Xiaomi: promote legacy MiMo V2 reasoning-only final answers to visible text, including Xiaomi-compatible proxy routes, so `mimo-v2-pro` and `mimo-v2-omni` replies no longer appear blank when the answer arrives in `reasoning_content`. Fixes #60261. (#60304) Thanks @HiddenPuppy.
• Providers: preserve required `reasoning_content` replay for Kimi K2.6/K2 thinking and MiMo V2.6 OpenAI-compatible tool-call follow-up turns while keeping the stock OpenAI/Qwen strip path intact. Fixes #82139. Thanks @yimao.
• Memory search: stop using chokidar write-stability polling for memory and QMD watchers so large Markdown extraPath trees no longer build up regular file descriptors; changed files now settle through the existing debounced sync queue. Fixes #77327 and #78224. (#81802) Thanks @frankekn, @loyur, and @JanPlessow.
• Message tool: rename the Discord channel-create schema field exposed to models from `type` to `channelType`, avoiding NVIDIA NIM JSON Schema parser failures while still accepting legacy `type` tool calls. (#78920) Thanks @YashSaliya.
• Feishu: send CardKit streaming cards as delivered deltas and retry failed updates, preventing duplicated or dropped streamed text. Fixes #82417. (#82419) Thanks @hclsys.
• WhatsApp: accept `group:`-prefixed group JIDs for outbound targets so `whatsapp:group:<jid>@g.us` resolves to the canonical group JID. Thanks @mcaxtr.
• Gateway/Gmail: stop queued post-ready Gmail sidecars before hot reload and abort stale Tailscale setup, so cancelled watcher restarts cannot rewrite an old public hook target or report abort-killed commands as success. (#82395) Thanks @samzong.
