 - Control UI/Talk: stop and clear failed realtime Talk sessions when dismissing runtime error banners, so the next Talk click starts a fresh session instead of only stopping the stale one. Thanks @vincentkoc.
 - Control UI/Talk: retry from a failed realtime Talk session on the next Talk click instead of requiring a separate stale-session stop click first. Thanks @vincentkoc.
 - Canvas host: preserve the Gateway TLS scheme in browser canvas host URLs and startup mount logs, so direct HTTPS gateways do not advertise insecure canvas links. Thanks @vincentkoc.
+- WhatsApp/login: route login success and failure messages through the injected runtime, so setup/onboarding surfaces capture all login output instead of only the QR. Thanks @vincentkoc.
 - Google Chat: create an isolated Google auth transport per auth client, so google-auth-library interceptor mutations do not accumulate across webhook verification and access-token clients. Thanks @vincentkoc.
 - Doctor/plugins: remove orphaned managed npm copies of bundled `@openclaw/*` plugins during `doctor --fix`, so stale package manifests cannot shadow the current bundled plugin config schema.
 - Control UI/performance: cap long-task and long-animation-frame diagnostics in the shared event log, so slow-render telemetry does not evict gateway/plugin events from the Debug and Overview views. Thanks @vincentkoc.
