@@ -15,7 +15,7 @@ Docs: https://docs.openclaw.ai
 - Discord/status: add degraded Discord transport and gateway event-loop starvation signals to `openclaw channels status`, `openclaw status --deep`, and fetch-timeout logs so intermittent socket resets do not look like a healthy running channel. (#76327) Thanks @joshavant.
 - Plugins/update: on the beta OpenClaw update channel, default-line npm and ClawHub plugin updates try `@beta` first and fall back to default/latest when no plugin beta release exists.
 - Channels/WhatsApp: support explicit WhatsApp Channel/Newsletter `@newsletter` outbound message targets with channel session metadata instead of DM routing. Fixes #13417; carries forward the narrow outbound target idea from #13424. Thanks @vincentkoc and @agentz-manfred.
- Internals: add a tree-sitter-backed shell command explainer for future approval and command-review surfaces. (#75004) Thanks @jesse-merhi.
+- Exec approvals: add a tree-sitter-backed shell command explainer for future approval and command-review surfaces. (#75004) Thanks @jesse-merhi.
