 - Gateway/status: separate reachability, capability, and read-probe reporting so connect-only or scope-limited sessions no longer look fully healthy, and normalize SSH targets entered as `ssh user@host`. (#69215) Thanks @obviyus.
 - Slack: fix outbound replies failing with "unresolved SecretRef" for accounts configured via `file` or `exec` secret sources; the send path now tolerates the runtime snapshot retaining an unresolved channel SecretRef when a boot-resolved token override is already available. (#68954) Thanks @openperf.
 - Control UI/device pairing: explain scope and role approval upgrades during reconnects, and show requested versus approved access in the Control UI and `openclaw devices` so broader reconnects no longer look like lost pairings. (#69221) Thanks @obviyus.
+- Gateway/Control UI: surface pending scope, role, and device-metadata pairing approvals in auth errors and Control UI hints so broader reconnects no longer look like random auth breakage. (#69226) Thanks @obviyus.
