@@ -31,6 +31,7 @@ Docs: https://docs.openclaw.ai
 - Discord/voice: merge configured media-understanding providers such as Deepgram into partial active provider registries, so follow-up voice turns keep transcribing after another media plugin is already active. Fixes #65687. Thanks @OneMintJulep.
 - WhatsApp: stage `qrcode` through root mirrored runtime dependencies so packaged QR pairing can render from staged plugin-runtime-deps installs. Fixes #75394. Thanks @FelipeX2001.
 - Discord/voice: apply per-channel Discord `systemPrompt` overrides to voice transcript turns by forwarding the trusted channel prompt through the voice agent run. Fixes #47095. Thanks @qearlyao.
+- Discord/native commands: send component-only interaction replies from slash command and status handlers instead of treating renderable Discord components as an empty response. Thanks @vincentkoc.
 - Gateway/agent: reject strict `openclaw agent --deliver` requests with missing delivery targets before starting the agent run, so users do not wait for a completed turn that cannot send anywhere. Thanks @vincentkoc.
 - Setup/import: honor non-interactive `--import-from` onboarding flags by running the migration import path instead of silently completing normal setup without importing anything. Thanks @vincentkoc.
 - Discord/voice: run voice-channel turns under a voice-output policy that hides the agent `tts` tool and asks for spoken reply text, so `/vc join` sessions synthesize and play agent replies instead of ending with `NO_REPLY`. Fixes #61536. Thanks @aounakram.
