@@ -131,6 +131,7 @@ Docs: https://docs.openclaw.ai
 - Synology Chat/gateway lifecycle: keep `startAccount` pending until abort for inactive and active account paths to prevent webhook route restart loops under gateway supervision. (#23074) Thanks @druide67.
 - Discord/dispatch + Slack formatting: restore parallel outbound dispatch across Discord channels with per-channel queues while preserving in-channel ordering, and run Slack preview/stream update text through mrkdwn normalization for consistent formatting. (#31927) Thanks @Sid-Qin.
 - Telegram/inbound media filenames: preserve original `file_name` metadata for document/audio/video/animation downloads (with fetch/path fallbacks), so saved inbound attachments keep sender-provided names instead of opaque Telegram file paths. (#31837) Thanks @Kay-051.
+- Telegram/implicit mention forum handling: exclude Telegram forum system service messages (`forum_topic_*`, `general_forum_topic_*`) from reply-chain implicit mention detection so `requireMention` does not get bypassed inside bot-created topic lifecycle events. (#32262) Thanks @scoootscooob.
 - Telegram/models picker callbacks: keep long model buttons selectable by falling back to compact callback payloads and resolving provider ids on selection (with provider re-prompt on ambiguity), avoiding Telegram 64-byte callback truncation failures. (#31857) Thanks @bmendonca3.
 - WhatsApp/inbound self-message context: propagate inbound `fromMe` through the web inbox pipeline and annotate direct self messages as `(self)` in envelopes so agents can distinguish owner-authored turns from contact turns. (#32167) Thanks @scoootscooob.
 - Slack/thread context payloads: only inject thread starter/history text on first thread turn for new sessions while preserving thread metadata, reducing repeated context-token bloat on long-lived thread sessions. (#32133) Thanks @sourman.
