 - Agents/Telegram: preserve explicit reply and quote context in embedded model prompts without letting quoted text drive prompt-local image loading. Fixes #76419. (#76659) Thanks @cheechnd.
 - Active Memory: apply `setupGraceTimeoutMs` to the embedded recall runner as well as the outer prompt-build watchdog, so very-cold first recalls keep the configured setup grace end-to-end. (#74480) Thanks @volcano303.
 - Channels/Feishu: cap how long the per-chat sequential queue blocks subsequent same-key tasks behind a single in-flight task (5 min default), so a single hung dispatch no longer leaves later same-chat messages in `queued` state until gateway restart; the stuck task continues running but is evicted from the blocking chain and a warning is logged. Fixes #70133. (#76687) Thanks @martingarramon and @bek91.
+- Active Memory: skip scoped Telegram forum-topic conversation ids (containing `:`) when resolving the embedded recall run channel, falling back to `messageProvider` instead, so Active Memory no longer throws a bundled-plugin dirName validation error in forum-topic sessions. Fixes #76704.
 - CLI/config: keep JSON dry-run patches validating touched channel configuration against bundled channel schemas even when the patch only contains SecretRef objects.
 - Plugins/tools: keep disabled bundled tool plugins out of explicit runtime allowlist ownership and fall back from loaded-but-empty channel registries to tool-bearing plugin registries, so Active Memory can use bundled `memory-core` search/get tools even when `memory-lancedb` is disabled. Fixes #76603. Thanks @jwong-art.
 - Plugins/install: run `npm install` from the managed npm-root manifest so installing one `@openclaw/*` plugin preserves already installed sibling plugins instead of pruning them. Fixes #76571. (#76602) Thanks @byungskers and @crpol.
