@@ -60,6 +60,7 @@ Docs: https://docs.openclaw.ai
 - Plugins/Anthropic: expose Claude thinking profiles from the bundled provider-policy artifact so non-runtime callers keep Opus 4.7 `adaptive`, `xhigh`, and `max` instead of downgrading to `high`. Fixes #76779. Thanks @tomascupr and @iAbhi001.
 - Discord/native commands: skip slash-command registration and cleanup REST calls when `channels.discord.commands.native=false`, letting low-power gateways start without waiting on disabled native-command lifecycle requests. Fixes #76202. Thanks @vincentkoc.
 - CLI/plugins: reject unowned command roots such as `openclaw foo` before managed proxy startup and full plugin CLI runtime loading while preserving manifest-owned and CLI-metadata-owned plugin commands. Fixes #75287. Thanks @neilofneils404.
+- CLI/message: skip local configured-channel plugin preload for explicit gateway-owned message actions, letting normalized CLI delivery delegate to the gateway without initializing channel runtime in the short-lived CLI process. Fixes #75477.
 - Plugins/commands: normalize empty plugin command handler results and let Telegram native plugin commands send the empty-response fallback instead of throwing when a handler returns `undefined`. Fixes #74800. Thanks @vincentkoc.
 - Plugins/tools: cold-load selected plugin tool registries when the active registry only has partial tool coverage, so wildcard-expanded allowlists no longer hide installed plugin tools from `tools.effective`. Fixes #76780. Thanks @lilesjtu.
 - Plugins/tools: compare cached and runtime plugin tool name conflicts with normalized core tool names, so case variants of core tools are blocked instead of leaking duplicate tool registrations. Thanks @vincentkoc.
