 - Memory/LanceDB: keep auto-recall and auto-capture hooks wired when those settings start disabled, so turning them on in live config starts recall and capture without waiting for a restart. Thanks @vincentkoc.
 - Skill Workshop: keep the tool plus `before_prompt_build` / `agent_end` hooks wired while the plugin is disabled at startup, so turning the plugin back on in live config starts guidance and capture without waiting for a restart. Thanks @vincentkoc.
 - Active Memory: stop reviving removed live `active-memory` config from startup snapshots, so removing the plugin entry turns the hook off immediately instead of waiting for a restart. Thanks @vincentkoc.
+- GitHub Copilot: re-read plugin discovery config from the live runtime snapshot, so toggling `plugins.entries.github-copilot.config.discovery.enabled` takes effect without a restart. Thanks @vincentkoc.
 - Agents/subagents: drop bare `NO_REPLY` from the parent turn when the session still has pending spawned children, so direct-conversation surfaces such as Telegram DMs no longer rewrite the sentinel into visible fallback chatter while waiting for the child completion event. (#69942) Thanks @neeravmakwana.
 - Plugins/install: keep bundled plugin dependencies off npm install while repairing them when plugins activate from a packaged install, including Feishu/Lark, Browser, and direct bundled channel setup-entry loads.
 - CLI/channels: skip and cache bundled channel plugin, setup, and secrets load failures during read-only discovery, so one broken unused bundled channel cannot crash `openclaw status` or bootstrap secret scans.
