 - Slack: route handled top-level channel turns in implicit-conversation channels to thread-scoped sessions when Slack reply threading is enabled, keeping the root turn and later thread replies on one OpenClaw session. (#78522) Thanks @zeroth-blip.
 - Telegram: re-probe the primary fetch transport after repeated sticky fallback success so transient IPv4 or pinned-IP fallback promotion can recover without a gateway restart. Fixes #77088. (#77157) Thanks @MkDev11.
 - Runtime/install: raise the supported Node 22 floor to `22.16+` so native SQLite query handling can rely on the `node:sqlite` statement metadata API while continuing to recommend Node 24. (#78921)
+- Gateway/macOS: include Apple Silicon Homebrew bin directories in generated LaunchAgent PATH and service-audit expectations, so Homebrew Node installs stay resolvable after gateway repair/restart. Fixes #79232. Thanks @TurboTheTurtle.
 - Discord/voice: make duplicate same-guild auto-join entries resolve to the last configured channel so moving an agent between voice channels does not keep joining the stale channel.
 - Discord/voice: include a bounded one-line STT transcript preview in verbose voice logs so live voice debugging shows what speakers said before the agent reply.
 - Codex app-server: pin the managed Codex harness and Codex CLI smoke package to `@openai/codex@0.129.0`, defer OpenClaw integration dynamic tools behind Codex tool search by default, and accept current Codex service-tier values so legacy `fast` settings survive the stable harness upgrade as `priority`.
