@@ -57,6 +57,7 @@ Docs: https://docs.openclaw.ai
 - Gateway/models: merge explicit `models.providers.*.models` rows into the Gateway model catalog with normalized provider/model dedupe, and use normalized image-capability lookup so custom vision models keep native image attachments even when Pi discovery omits them or model ID casing differs. Fixes #64213 and #65165. Thanks @billonese and @202233a.
 - Gateway/reload: publish canonical post-write source config to in-process reloaders so simple config saves no longer create phantom plugin diffs or trigger unnecessary Gateway restarts. (#73267) Thanks @szsip239.
 - CLI/tasks: ship the task-registry control runtime in npm packages so `openclaw tasks cancel` can load ACP/subagent cancellation helpers from published builds. Fixes #68997. Thanks @1OAKDesign.
+- Channels/Telegram: preserve unsent generated media after partial reply streaming has already delivered the text, so `image_generate` outputs still reach Telegram as photos instead of being dropped from the final payload. Fixes #73253. Thanks @mlaihk.
 - Export/session: keep inline export HTML scripts and vendor libraries injected after template formatting so generated session exports open with the app code, markdown renderer, and syntax highlighter present. Fixes #41862 and #49957; carries forward #41861 and #68947. Thanks @briannewman, @martenzi, and @armanddp.
 - Agents/ACPX: stage the patched Claude ACP adapter as an ACPX runtime dependency and route known Codex/Claude ACP commands through local wrappers, so Gateway runtime no longer depends on live `npx` adapter resolution. Fixes #73202. Thanks @joerod26.
 - Memory/compaction: let pre-compaction memory flush use an exact `agents.defaults.compaction.memoryFlush.model` override such as `ollama/qwen3:8b` without inheriting the active session fallback chain, so local housekeeping can avoid paid conversation models. Fixes #53772. Thanks @limen96.
