 - Slack/Matrix: avoid creating blank progress-draft messages when `streaming.progress.label=false` and progress tool lines are disabled. Thanks @vincentkoc.
 - Slack/Discord: suppress standalone tool-progress chatter when partial preview streaming has `streaming.preview.toolProgress: false`, matching the documented quiet-preview behavior. Thanks @vincentkoc.
 - QA/Matrix: keep the mock OpenAI tool-progress provider aligned with exact-marker Matrix prompts so the hardened live preview scenario still forces a deterministic read before final delivery. Thanks @vincentkoc.
+- Matrix: bind native approval reaction targets before publishing option reactions, so fast approver reactions on threaded prompts are not dropped while the approval handler finishes setup. Thanks @vincentkoc.
 - Google Meet: make realtime talk-back agent-driven by default with `realtime.strategy: "agent"`, keep the previous direct bidirectional model behavior available as `realtime.strategy: "bidi"`, route the Meet tab speaker output to `BlackHole 2ch` automatically for local Chrome realtime joins, coalesce nearby speech transcript fragments before consulting the agent, and avoid cutting off agent speech from server VAD or stale playback pipe errors.
 - Google Meet: suppress queued assistant playback and assistant-like transcript echoes from the realtime input path, so the meeting does not hear the agent's own speech as a new user turn and loop or cut itself off.
 - OpenAI/Google Meet: wait for realtime voice `session.updated` before treating the bridge as connected, so Meet joins do not return with audio queued behind an unconfigured realtime session. Thanks @vincentkoc.
