@@ -10,6 +10,7 @@ Docs: https://docs.openclaw.ai
 - Agents/subagents: add optional forked context for native `sessions_spawn` runs so agents can let a child inherit the requester transcript when needed, while keeping clean isolated sessions as the default; includes prompt guidance, context-engine hook metadata, docs, and QA coverage.
 - Codex harness: add structured debug logging for embedded harness selection decisions so `/status` stays simple while gateway logs explain auto-selection and Pi fallback reasons. (#70760) Thanks @100yenadmin.
 - Dependencies/Pi: update bundled Pi packages to `0.70.0`, use Pi's upstream `gpt-5.5` catalog metadata for OpenAI and OpenAI Codex, and keep only local `gpt-5.5-pro` forward-compat handling.
+- Models/CLI: split `openclaw models list` row-source orchestration and registry loading into narrower helpers without changing list output behavior. (#70867) Thanks @shakkernerd.
 - Plugins/Google Meet: add a bundled participant plugin with personal Google auth, explicit meeting URL joins, Chrome and Twilio transports, and realtime voice support. (#70765) Thanks @steipete.
 - Providers/OpenAI: add image generation and reference-image editing through Codex OAuth, so `openai/gpt-image-2` works without an `OPENAI_API_KEY`. Fixes #70703.
 - Providers/OpenRouter: add image generation and reference-image editing through `image_generate`, so OpenRouter image models work with `OPENROUTER_API_KEY`. Fixes #55066 via #67668. Thanks @notamicrodose.
