 - Gateway/Tailscale: let Tailscale-authenticated Control UI operator sessions with browser device identity skip the device-pairing round trip while still rejecting device-less and node-role connections. Refs #71986. Thanks @jokedul.
 - Doctor: honor `OPENCLAW_SERVICE_REPAIR_POLICY=external` by reporting gateway service health while skipping service install/start/restart/bootstrap, supervisor rewrites, and legacy service cleanup for externally managed environments. Thanks @shakkernerd.
+- CLI/update: run package post-update doctor with `--fix` so package updates repair config migrations before restart. Thanks @shakkernerd.
 - Agents/Discord: keep raw `Agent failed before reply` runner failures out of Discord group/channel chats and show detailed runner errors in direct chats only when `/verbose` is enabled. Thanks @codex.
 - Package: include patched dependency files in the published npm package so downstream installs can resolve `patchedDependencies`. (#69224) Thanks @gucasbrg and @vincentkoc.
 - Plugins/channels: treat malformed bundled channel plugin loaders that return `undefined` as unavailable instead of crashing config and help paths. Fixes #69044. Thanks @frankhli843 and @vincentkoc.
