 ### Fixes
 
 - Plugins/externalization: repair missing configured plugin installs from npm by default, reserve ClawHub downloads for explicit `clawhubSpec` metadata, and cover agent-runtime/env-selected plugin repair. Thanks @vincentkoc.
+- Upgrade/config: validate configured web-search providers and statically suppressed model/provider pairs against the active plugin set at config load, so stale plugin state fails loud before runtime fallback.
+- Status/update: resolve beta update-channel checks from the installed version when config still says `stable`, and let `status --deep` reuse live gateway channel credential state instead of warning on command-path-only token misses.
+- Doctor/plugins: preserve unmanaged third-party plugin `node_modules` during `doctor --fix`, while still pruning OpenClaw-managed runtime dependency caches.
+- Gateway/restart: add `openclaw gateway restart --force` and `--wait <duration>`, log active task run IDs before restart deferral timers, and report timeout restarts as explicit forced restarts.
+- Discord: persist slash-command deploy hashes across process restarts so unchanged command sets skip redeploy and avoid restart-loop 429s.
 - Plugins/externalization: keep ACPX, Google Chat, and LINE publishable plugin dist trees out of the core npm package file list.
 - Plugins/ClawHub: fall back to version metadata when the artifact resolver route is missing and keep the Docker ClawHub fixture aligned with npm-pack artifact resolution, avoiding false version-not-found failures during plugin install validation. Thanks @vincentkoc.
 - Status/channels: show configured channels in `openclaw status` and config-only `openclaw channels status` output even when the Gateway is unreachable, avoiding empty Channels tables on WSL and other no-Gateway paths. Thanks @vincentkoc.

     - Use `gateway restart` to restart a managed service. Do not chain `gateway stop` and `gateway start` as a restart substitute; on macOS, `gateway stop` intentionally disables the LaunchAgent before stopping it.
+    - `gateway restart --wait 30s` overrides the configured restart drain budget for that restart. Bare numbers are milliseconds; units such as `s`, `m`, and `h` are accepted. `--wait 0` waits indefinitely.
+    - `gateway restart --force` skips the active-work drain and restarts immediately. Use it when an operator has already inspected the listed task blockers and wants the gateway back now.
     - Lifecycle commands accept `--json` for scripting.
