 - Plugin releases: require external package compatibility metadata in the npm plugin publish plan, matching the ClawHub package contract before packages ship.
 - Agents/OpenAI-compatible: honor per-model `max_completion_tokens`/`max_tokens` params in embedded OpenAI-completions runs so high-token Kimi-style routes keep their configured completion cap. Fixes #82230. Thanks @albert-zen.
 - Agents/local: install a local gateway request scope around trusted `openclaw agent --local` runs, so subagent completion announces can use in-process gateway dispatch without crashing. Fixes #82140. Thanks @Kushmaro.
+- Discord: validate message-read results before normalizing channel history and report unexpected payloads with a Discord boundary error instead of `map is not a function`. Fixes #82252. Thanks @jessewunderlich.
 - Telegram/active-memory: run blocking memory recall through the Telegram provider for direct-message turns even when the hook context carries the raw chat id, preventing embedded recall from launching against an invalid numeric channel. Fixes #82177. Thanks @cslash-zz.
 - Control UI/WebChat: keep optimistic image messages from embedding large inline `data:` previews and preserve image-only user turns in chat history, avoiding browser stack overflows when sending image attachments. Fixes #82182. Thanks @ExploreSheep.
 - Agents/media: preserve message-tool-only delivery for generated music and video completion handoffs, so group/channel completions do not finish without posting the generated attachment.
