 - Telegram/exec approvals: stop treating general Telegram chat allowlists and `defaultTo` routes as native exec approvers; Telegram now uses explicit `execApprovals.approvers` or owner identity from `commands.ownerAllowFrom`, matching the first-pairing owner bootstrap path. Thanks @pashpashpash.
 - Chat commands: route sensitive group `/diagnostics` and `/export-trajectory` approvals and results to a private owner route, preferring same-surface DMs before falling back to the first configured owner route, so Discord group invocations can land in Telegram when that is the primary owner interface. Thanks @pashpashpash.
-- Channels/WhatsApp: gate `dmPolicy: pairing` access-control side effects on whether a Baileys `messages.upsert` event actually carries inbound text/media/contact/location content, so receipts, typing indicators, presence updates, and protocol messages no longer trigger an unsolicited pairing verification reply on a peer who never typed. Fixes #73797. Thanks @hbmasters.
 - Plugin SDK/Discord: restore a deprecated `openclaw/plugin-sdk/discord` compatibility facade and the legacy compat group-policy warning export for the published `@openclaw/discord@2026.3.13` package, covering its config, account, directory, status, and thread-binding imports while keeping new plugins on generic SDK subpaths. Fixes #73685; supersedes #73703. Thanks @rderickson9 and @SymbolStar.
 - Channels/Discord: suppress duplicate gateway monitors when multiple enabled accounts resolve to the same bot token, preferring config tokens over default env fallback and reporting skipped duplicates as disabled. Supersedes #73608. Thanks @kagura-agent.
 - Control UI/Talk: decode Google Live binary WebSocket JSON frames and stop queued browser audio on interruption or shutdown, so browser Talk leaves `Connecting Talk...` and barge-in no longer plays stale audio. Fixes #73601 and #73460; supersedes #73466. Thanks @Spolen23 and @WadydX.

 - Auto-reply/session: carry the tail of user/assistant turns into the freshly-rotated transcript on silent in-reply session resets (compaction failure, role-ordering conflict) so direct-chat continuity survives the rebind. Fixes #70853. (#70898) Thanks @neeravmakwana.
 - Config: skip malformed non-string `env.vars` entries before env-reference checks, so config loading no longer crashes on JSON values like numbers or booleans. (#42402) Thanks @MiltonHeYan.
 - Docker Compose: default missing config and workspace bind mounts to `${HOME:-/tmp}/.openclaw` so manual compose runs do not create invalid empty-source volume specs. (#64485) Thanks @jlapenna.
+- Channels/WhatsApp: restrict pairing verification replies to real inbound user content, preventing unsolicited prompts from receipts, typing indicators, presence updates, and other non-message Baileys upserts. Fixes #73797. (#73823) Thanks @hclsys.
