@@ -109,6 +109,7 @@ Docs: https://docs.openclaw.ai
 - Plugins/Bonjour: stop ciao mDNS watchdog failures from looping forever when the advertiser stays stuck in `probing` or `announcing`; Bonjour now disables itself for the current Gateway process after repeated failed restarts while the Gateway keeps running. Fixes #69011. Thanks @siddharthaagarwalofficial-ux, @FiredMosquito831, and @spikefcz.
 - Gateway/Fly.io: seed Control UI allowed origins from the actual runtime bind and port so CLI-driven non-loopback starts do not crash before config exists. Fixes #71823.
 - Gateway/proxy: bootstrap env proxy dispatching from direct Gateway startup so provider and plugin network requests honor `HTTPS_PROXY`/`HTTP_PROXY` before the first embedded agent attempt runs. (#71833) Thanks @mjamiv.
+- Plugins/runtime deps: verify clean npm installs actually place requested bundled runtime packages in the managed install root, reporting exact missing specs instead of a false successful repair. (#71883) Thanks @Solvely-Colin.
 - Models/LM Studio: preserve `@iq*` quant suffixes in model refs and provider matching so `/model lmstudio/...@iq3_xxs` keeps the exact LM Studio variant. Fixes #71474. (#71486) Thanks @Bartok9, @XinwuC, and @Sanjays2402.
 - Matrix/cron: preserve the live Matrix delivery target when creating implicit announce reminder jobs so mixed-case room IDs are not reconstructed from lowercased session keys. Fixes #71798.
 - Feishu: accept Schema 2.0 card action callbacks that report `context.open_chat_id` instead of legacy `context.chat_id`, so button callbacks no longer drop as malformed. Fixes #71670. Thanks @eddy1068.
