## Unreleased
## 2026.4.26
### Fixes
- Doctor: honor `OPENCLAW_SERVICE_REPAIR_POLICY=external` by reporting gateway service health while skipping service install/start/restart/bootstrap, supervisor rewrites, and legacy service cleanup for externally managed environments. Thanks @shakkernerd.
- Agents/Discord: keep raw `Agent failed before reply` runner failures out of Discord group/channel chats and show detailed runner errors in direct chats only when `/verbose` is enabled. Thanks @codex.
- Package: include patched dependency files in the published npm package so downstream installs can resolve `patchedDependencies`. (#69224) Thanks @gucasbrg and @vincentkoc.
- Plugins/channels: treat malformed bundled channel plugin loaders that return `undefined` as unavailable instead of crashing config and help paths. Fixes #69044. Thanks @frankhli843 and @vincentkoc.
- Scripts/watch: show corrupted dependency package-config recovery guidance when `gateway:watch` fails during watcher startup, without double-logging unrelated import failures. (#58780) Thanks @roytong9 and @vincentkoc.
- Signal: read signal-cli RPC, health checks, and SSE events through Node's HTTP client so Node 24/25 fetch regressions do not break Signal sends or inbound events. Fixes #51716 and #53040. Thanks @Barukimang, @minupla, and @vincentkoc.
- Skills/Docker: run npm-backed skill dependency installs with an OpenClaw-managed user prefix so non-root Docker images do not write to `/usr/local`. Fixes #59601. Thanks @chanjarster and @vincentkoc.
## 2026.4.26
## 2026.4.25
### Highlights
- Voice replies get a full TTS upgrade: `/tts latest`, chat-scoped auto-TTS controls, personas, per-agent/per-account overrides, and new Azure Speech, Xiaomi, Local CLI, Inworld, Volcengine, and ElevenLabs v3 provider coverage. Thanks @leonchui, @zoujiejun, @solar2ain, @cshape, @xuruiray, @itsuzef, and @barronlroth.
- Plugin startup and install paths move to the cold persisted registry, cutting broad manifest scans while making plugin update, repair, provider discovery, and install metadata more deterministic. Thanks @vincentkoc and @shakkernerd.
- OpenTelemetry coverage expands across model calls, token usage, tool loops, harness runs, exec processes, outbound delivery, context assembly, and memory pressure with bounded low-cardinality attributes. Thanks @vincentkoc, @jlapenna, @Lidang-Jiang, and @oc-factus.
- Browser automation gets safer tab URLs, iframe-aware role snapshots, CDP readiness tuning, headless one-shot launch, and deeper browser doctor probes for slow hosts. Thanks @beat843796 and @BenediktSchackenberg.
- Control UI and setup flows add PWA/Web Push support, Crestodian first-run repair, TUI setup, context mode selection, and a shorter startup greeting. Thanks @eduardocruz, @SebTardif, and @kevinlin-openai.
- Install/update hardening covers Windows, macOS, Linux, Docker, bundled plugin runtime deps, Node service restarts, LaunchAgent token rotation, and mixed-version gateway verification. Thanks @Kobevictor, @igormf, @abhinas90, @jsompis, @Solvely-Colin, and @gucasbrg.

### Fixes
- Agents/Discord: keep raw `Agent failed before reply` runner failures out of Discord group/channel chats and show detailed runner errors in direct chats only when `/verbose` is enabled. Thanks @codex.
- UI/Windows: quote resolved pnpm `.cmd` launcher paths before spawning UI install/build/test commands so Node installs under `C:\Program Files` no longer fail as `C:\Program`. Fixes #45275. Thanks @Kobevictor, @stoppieboy, and @iubns.
- Codex/agent: translate `--thinking minimal` to `low` for modern Codex models (gpt-5.5, gpt-5.4, gpt-5.4-mini, gpt-5.2) at request build time so the first turn is accepted instead of paying a wasted call + retry-with-low fallback. Older Codex models still receive `minimal` directly. Fixes #71946. Thanks @hclsys.
- Plugins/uninstall: remove tracked plugin files from their recorded managed extensions root even when the current state directory points somewhere else, so `openclaw plugins uninstall --force` does not leave the plugin discoverable. Thanks @shakkernerd.

- Installer: warn when multiple npm global roots contain OpenClaw installs, showing active Node/npm/openclaw plus each install path and version so stale version-manager installs are visible. Fixes #40839. Thanks @zhixianio.
- Cron/tasks: recover completed cron task ledger records from durable run logs and job state before marking them `lost`, reducing false `backing session missing` audit errors for isolated cron runs and keeping offline CLI audit from treating its empty local cron active-job set as authoritative. Fixes #71963.
- Docker: copy patched dependency files into runtime images so downstream `pnpm install` layers keep working. Fixes #69224. Thanks @gucasbrg.

- Agents/runtime: submit heartbeat, cron, and exec wakeups as transient runtime context instead of visible user prompts, keeping synthetic system work out of chat transcripts. Fixes #66496 and #66814. Thanks @jeades and @mandomaker.
- Telegram: include native quote excerpts automatically for threaded replies and reply tags when the original Telegram text is available, without adding another config knob. Fixes #6975. Thanks @rex05ai.
- Node/Linux: make `openclaw node install` enable and restart the `openclaw-node` systemd unit instead of the gateway unit on node-only VMs. Fixes #68287. Thanks @dlebee-agent.
