@@ -16,6 +16,7 @@ Docs: https://docs.openclaw.ai
 - Docs/security hardening guidance: document Docker `DOCKER-USER` + UFW policy and add cross-linking from Docker install docs for VPS/public-host setups. (#27613) thanks @dorukardahan.
 - iOS/Voice timing safety: guard system speech start/finish callbacks to the active utterance to avoid misattributed start events during rapid stop/restart cycles. (#33304) thanks @mbelinky; original implementation direction by @ngutman.
 - iOS/Talk incremental speech pacing: allow long punctuation-free assistant chunks to start speaking at safe whitespace boundaries so voice responses begin sooner instead of waiting for terminal punctuation. (#33305) thanks @mbelinky; original implementation by @ngutman.
+- iOS/Watch reply reliability: make watch session activation waiters robust under concurrent requests so status/send calls no longer hang intermittently, and align delegate callbacks with Swift 6 actor safety. (#33306) thanks @mbelinky; original implementation by @Rocuts.
 - Docs/tool-loop detection config keys: align `docs/tools/loop-detection.md` examples and field names with the current `tools.loopDetection` schema to prevent copy-paste validation failures from outdated keys. (#33182) Thanks @Mylszd.
 - Gateway/session agent discovery: include disk-scanned agent IDs in `listConfiguredAgentIds` even when `agents.list` is configured, so disk-only/ACP agent sessions remain visible in gateway session aggregation and listings. (#32831) thanks @Sid-Qin.
 - Discord/inbound debouncer: skip bot-own MESSAGE_CREATE events before they reach the debounce queue to avoid self-triggered slowdowns in busy servers. Thanks @thewilloftheshadow.
