@@ -27,6 +27,7 @@ Docs: https://docs.openclaw.ai
 - Agents/transcripts: avoid reopening large Pi transcript files through the synchronous session manager for maintenance rewrites, persisted tool-result truncation, manual compaction boundary hardening, and queued compaction rotation. Thanks @mariozechner.
 - Web search/Exa: accept `plugins.entries.exa.config.webSearch.baseUrl`, normalize it to the Exa `/search` endpoint, and partition cached results by endpoint. Fixes #54928 and supersedes #54939. Thanks @mrpl327 and @lyfuci.
 - Web search/MiniMax: include MiniMax Search in the web-search setup flow and let `MINIMAX_API_KEY` participate in MiniMax Search auto-detection. Supersedes #65828. Thanks @Jah-yee.
+- Plugins/ClawHub: preserve official source-linked trust through archive installs, so OpenClaw can install trusted ClawHub plugin packages that trigger the built-in dangerous-pattern scanner. Thanks @vincentkoc.
 - Telegram: inherit the process DNS result order for Bot API transport and downgrade recovered sticky IPv4 fallback promotions to debug logs, while keeping pinned-IP escalation warnings visible. Fixes #75904. Thanks @highfly-hi and @neeravmakwana.
 - Web search/MiniMax: allow `MINIMAX_OAUTH_TOKEN` to satisfy MiniMax Search credentials, so OAuth-authorized MiniMax Token Plan setups do not need a separate web-search key. Fixes #65768. Thanks @kikibrian and @zhouhe-xydt.
 - Providers/MiniMax: derive Coding Plan usage polling from the configured MiniMax base URL, so global setups no longer query the CN usage host. Fixes #65054. Thanks @sixone74 and @Yanhu007.
