 - Tasks/maintenance: reconcile stale cron and chat-backed CLI task rows against live cron-job and agent-run ownership instead of treating any persisted session key as proof that the task is still running. (#60310) Thanks @lml2468.
 - Update/npm: prefer the npm binary that owns the installed global OpenClaw prefix so mixed Homebrew-plus-nvm setups update the right install. (#60153) Thanks @jayeshp19.
 - Windows/restart: clean up stale gateway listeners before Windows self-restart and treat listener and argv probe failures as inconclusive, so scheduled-task relaunch no longer falls into an `EADDRINUSE` retry loop. (#60480) Thanks @arifahmedjoy.
+- Plugins: suppress trust-warning noise during non-activating snapshot and CLI metadata loads. (#61427) Thanks @gumadeiras.
