CHANGELOG.md

 - Channels/thread routing: keep outbound replies in existing Slack, Mattermost, Matrix, Telegram, Discord, and QA-channel thread sessions by sharing the Plugin SDK thread-aware route builder across bundled plugins.
 - Agents/replay: normalize restored assistant text content before provider replay and prompt submission, so legacy or repaired sessions no longer crash on `assistantMsg.content.flatMap`. (#69850) Thanks @fuller-stack-dev.
 
+### Fixes
+
+- Gateway/chat: register chat.send runs in the chat run registry so lifecycle error events reach the client instead of being silently dropped, fixing stuck 'waiting' state and /abort reporting no active run. (#69747) Thanks @wangshu94.
+- fix(gateway): surface chat.send lifecycle errors to clients (#69747). Thanks @wangshu94
