 - Image understanding: preserve configured provider-prefixed vision model metadata when callers request the model without the provider prefix, so custom image models keep their `input: ["text", "image"]` capability. Fixes #33185. Thanks @Kobe9312 and @vincentkoc.
 - Plugins/install: restore the previous plugin index records if a concurrent config write conflict interrupts install, update, or uninstall metadata commits. Thanks @shakkernerd.
 - Plugins/install: reject native plugin archives that do not include a valid `openclaw.plugin.json`, preventing manifestless archives from writing install records that later show missing-manifest diagnostics. Thanks @shakkernerd.
+- Plugins/uninstall: remove tracked managed plugin install directories even when the persisted install path differs from the default id-derived target, while still refusing deletes outside the managed extensions root. Thanks @shakkernerd.
 - Plugins/update: restore previous plugin index records if core update or channel setup hits a concurrent config write conflict after plugin metadata changes. Thanks @shakkernerd.
 - Plugins/onboarding: defer channel/provider plugin install records until the owning config write commits, keeping setup failures from advancing the plugin index ahead of `openclaw.json`. Thanks @shakkernerd.
 - Plugins/config: route configure and agent setup writes with pending plugin install records through the plugin index commit helper so provider onboarding metadata is not stripped by plain config writes. Thanks @shakkernerd.

+applicable. Unless `--keep-files` is set, uninstall also removes the tracked
+managed install directory when it is inside OpenClaw's plugin extensions root.
 For active memory plugins, the memory slot resets to `memory-core`.
 
-By default, uninstall also removes the plugin install directory under the active

 `--keep-config` is supported as a deprecated alias for `--keep-files`.
