 ### Fixes
 
+- OpenAI/Google Meet: wait for realtime voice `session.updated` before treating the bridge as connected, so Meet joins do not return with audio queued behind an unconfigured realtime session. Thanks @vincentkoc.
 - Plugins/catalog: merge official external catalog descriptors into partial package channel config metadata, so lagging WeCom/Yuanbao manifests keep their own schema while still exposing host-supplied labels and setup text. Thanks @vincentkoc.
 - Plugins/catalog: supplement lagging official external WeCom and Yuanbao npm manifests with channel config descriptors and declared tool contracts from the OpenClaw catalog, so trusted package sweeps no longer fail because external package metadata trails the host contract. Thanks @vincentkoc.
 - Plugins/install: let trusted official `@openclaw/*` catalog installs recover when npm `latest` points at a prerelease by falling back to the newest stable version, or by selecting the newest exact prerelease for prerelease-only launch packages with a warning instead of making beta/development plugin sweeps fail at install time. Thanks @vincentkoc.
