 ### Fixes

+- Agents/commitments: keep inferred follow-ups internal when heartbeat target is none, strip raw source text from stored commitments, disable tools during due-commitment heartbeat turns, bound hidden extraction queue growth, expire stale commitments, and add QA/Docker safety coverage. Thanks @vignesh07.
 - Plugins/runtime-deps: accept already materialized package-level runtime-deps supersets as converged, so later lazy plugin activation no longer prunes and relaunches `pnpm install` after gateway startup pre-staging. Fixes #75283. Thanks @brokemac79.
 - TTS/providers: keep bundled speech-provider compat fallback available when plugins are globally disabled, so cold gateway and CLI startup can still resolve fallback speech providers instead of leaving explicit TTS provider selection with no registered providers. Refs #75265. Thanks @sliekens.
 - Discord: collapse repeated native slash-command deploy rate-limit startup logs into one non-fatal warning while keeping per-request REST timing in verbose output. Thanks @discord.

 - the original channel and delivery target
 - a due window
 - a short suggested check-in
- enough source context for heartbeat to decide whether to send it
+- non-instructional metadata for heartbeat to decide whether to send it

 Delivery happens through heartbeat. When a commitment becomes due, heartbeat
 adds the commitment to the heartbeat turn for the same agent and channel scope.
 The model can send one natural check-in or reply `HEARTBEAT_OK` to dismiss it.
+If heartbeat is configured with `target: "none"`, due commitments remain
+internal and do not send external check-ins. Commitment delivery prompts do not
+replay the original conversation text, and due commitment heartbeat turns run
+without OpenClaw tools.

 OpenClaw never delivers an inferred commitment immediately after writing it.
 The due time is clamped to at least one heartbeat interval after the commitment
