@@ -15,6 +15,7 @@ Docs: https://docs.openclaw.ai
 - Telegram/ACP bindings: drop persisted DM bindings that still point at missing or failed ACP sessions on restart, while preserving plugin-owned bindings and uncertain store reads. (#67822) Thanks @chinar-amrutkar.
 - Telegram/streaming: keep a transient preview on the same Telegram message when auto-compaction retries an in-flight answer, so streamed replies no longer appear duplicated after compaction. (#66939) Thanks @rubencu.
 - Memory/sqlite-vec: emit the degraded sqlite-vec warning once per degraded episode instead of repeating it for every file write, while preserving the latch across safe-reindex rollback and resetting it when vector state is genuinely rebuilt. (#67898) Thanks @rubencu.
+- Reply/block streaming: preserve post-stream incomplete-turn error payloads after block streaming already emitted content, so users get the warning instead of silence. (#67991) Thanks @obviyus.
