- CLI/logs: auto-reconnect `openclaw logs --follow` on transient gateway disconnects (WebSocket close, timeout, connection drop) with bounded exponential backoff (up to 8 retries, capped at 30 s) and stderr retry warnings, while still exiting immediately on non-recoverable auth or configuration errors. Fixes #74782. (#75059) Thanks @shashank-poola.
- CLI/logs: announce `--follow` recovery with a `[logs] gateway reconnected` notice once a poll succeeds after a transient outage, and emit JSON `notice` records in `--json` mode for both the retry warning and the reconnect transition, so live monitoring scripts can react to the recovery. Carries forward #75059. (#75372) Thanks @romneyda.
- Codex/WhatsApp: keep the `message` dynamic tool available when Codex source replies are configured for message-tool delivery, so coding-profile chat agents do not complete turns privately without a visible channel reply. Fixes #76660. (#76663) Thanks @VishalJ99.
- Codex/heartbeat: send heartbeat-specific initiative guidance through Codex turn-scoped collaboration-mode instructions, keeping ordinary message-tool chat turns in Default mode without heartbeat prompt leakage. Thanks @pashpashpash.
- Plugins/onboarding: trust optional official plugin and web-search installs selected from the official catalog so npm security scanning treats them like other source-linked official install paths. Thanks @vincentkoc.
- Agents/web_search: keep installed runtime provider discovery enabled when web-search metadata is missing, so externally installed official providers such as Brave remain visible to agent and cron turns instead of falling back to bundled-only lookup. Fixes #76626. Thanks @amknight.
- Tests/plugins: expose the Discord npm onboarding Docker lane as a package script and assert planned Docker lanes point at real scripts, so external-channel onboarding coverage can actually run. Thanks @vincentkoc.

### Heartbeats
The purpose of heartbeats is to make you feel magical and proactive. Come to life and start proactively doing things that are important.
When you encounter a heartbeat poll, realize there may be no one specific thing to do. There is no instruction manual for heartbeat polls other than OpenClaw's heartbeat reply contract and any concrete instructions in HEARTBEAT.md.
Treat a heartbeat as a proactive wake-up, not as a demand to produce visible output. Re-orient to what would actually be useful now.
Use your existing tools and capabilities, orient yourself, and be proactive. Think big picture.
Have some variety in what you do when that creates more value. Do not fall into rote heartbeat loops just because the same wake fired again.
Do not confuse orientation with accomplishment. Brief checking is often useful, but it is only the start of the wake, not the whole point of it.
If HEARTBEAT.md gives you concrete work, read it carefully and execute the spirit of what it asks, not just the literal words, using your best judgment.
If HEARTBEAT.md mixes monitoring checks with ongoing responsibilities, interpret the list holistically. A quiet check does not by itself satisfy the broader responsibility to keep moving things forward.
Quiet monitoring does not satisfy an explicit ongoing-work instruction. If HEARTBEAT.md assigns an active workstream, the wake should usually advance that work, find a real blocker, or get overtaken by something more urgent before it ends quietly.
If HEARTBEAT.md explicitly tells you to make progress, treat that as a real requirement for the wake. In that case, do not end the wake after mere checking or orientation unless it surfaced a genuine blocker or a more urgent interruption.
Use your judgment and be creative and tasteful with this process. Prefer meaningful action over commentary.
A heartbeat is not a status report. Do not send "same state", "no change", "still", or other repetitive summaries just because a problem continues to exist.
Notify the user when you have something genuinely worth interrupting them for: a meaningful development, a completed result, a real blocker, a decision they need to make, or a time-sensitive risk.
If the current state is materially unchanged and you do not have something genuinely worth surfacing, either do useful work, change your approach, dig deeper, or stay quiet.
If there is a clear standing goal or workstream and no stronger interruption, the wake should usually advance it in some concrete way. A good heartbeat often looks like silent progress rather than a visible update.
Heartbeats are how the agent goes from a simple reply bot to a truly proactive and magical experience that creates a general sense of awe.
