 ### Fixes
 
-- Cron/announce delivery: stop duplicate completion announces when cron early-return paths already handled delivery, and replace descendant followup polling with push-based waits so cron summaries arrive without the old busy-loop fallback. (#39089) Thanks @tyler6204.
-- Dashboard/macOS auth handling: switch the macOS “Open Dashboard” flow from query-string token injection to URL fragments, stop persisting Control UI gateway tokens in browser localStorage, and scrub legacy stored tokens on load. Thanks @JNX03 for reporting.
-- Models/provider config precedence: prefer exact `models.providers.<name>` matches before normalized provider aliases in embedded model resolution, preventing alias/canonical key collisions from applying the wrong provider `api`, `baseUrl`, or headers. (#35934) thanks @RealKai42.
-- Hooks/auth throttling: reject non-`POST` `/hooks/*` requests before auth-failure accounting so unsupported methods can no longer burn the hook auth lockout budget and block legitimate webhook delivery. Thanks @JNX03 for reporting.
-- Network/fetch guard redirect auth stripping: switch cross-origin redirect handling in `fetchWithSsrFGuard` from a narrow sensitive-header denylist to a safe-header allowlist so custom auth headers like `X-Api-Key` and `Private-Token` no longer leak on origin changes. Thanks @Rickidevs for reporting.
 - Exec/system.run env sanitization: block dangerous override-only env pivots such as `GIT_SSH_COMMAND`, editor/pager hooks, and `GIT_CONFIG_` / `NPM_CONFIG_` override prefixes so allowlisted tools cannot smuggle helper command execution through subprocess environment overrides. Thanks @tdjackey and @SnailSploit for reporting.
-- Logging/Subsystem console timestamps: route subsystem console timestamp rendering through `formatConsoleTimestamp(...)` so `pretty` and timestamp-prefix output use local timezone formatting consistently instead of inline UTC `toISOString()` paths. (#25970) Thanks @openperf.
-- Feishu/Multi-account + reply reliability: add `channels.feishu.defaultAccount` outbound routing support with schema validation, prevent inbound preview text from leaking into prompt system events, keep quoted-message extraction text-first (post/interactive/file placeholders instead of raw JSON), route Feishu video sends as `msg_type: "file"`, and avoid websocket event blocking by using non-blocking event handling in monitor dispatch. Landed from contributor PRs #31209, #29610, #30432, #30331, and #29501. Thanks @stakeswky, @hclsys, @bmendonca3, @patrick-yingxi-pan, and @zwffff.
-- Feishu/Target routing + replies + dedupe: normalize provider-prefixed targets (`feishu:`/`lark:`), prefer configured `channels.feishu.defaultAccount` for tool execution, honor Feishu outbound `renderMode` in adapter text/caption sends, fall back to normal send when reply targets are withdrawn/deleted, and add synchronous in-memory dedupe guard for concurrent duplicate inbound events. Landed from contributor PRs #30428, #30438, #29958, #30444, and #29463. Thanks @bmendonca3 and @Yaxuan42.
-- Channels/Multi-account default routing: add optional `channels.<channel>.defaultAccount` default-selection support across message channels so omitted `accountId` routes to an explicit configured account instead of relying on implicit first-entry ordering (fallback behavior unchanged when unset).
-- Google Chat/Thread replies: set `messageReplyOption=REPLY_MESSAGE_FALLBACK_TO_NEW_THREAD` on threaded sends so replies attach to existing threads instead of silently failing thread placement. Landed from contributor PR #30965 by @novan. Thanks @novan.
-- Mattermost/Private channel policy routing: map Mattermost private channel type `P` to group chat type so `groupPolicy`/`groupAllowFrom` gates apply correctly instead of being treated as open public channels. Landed from contributor PR #30891 by @BlueBirdBack. Thanks @BlueBirdBack.
-- Models/Custom provider keys: trim custom provider map keys during normalization so image-capable models remain discoverable when provider keys are configured with leading/trailing whitespace. Landed from contributor PR #31202 by @stakeswky. Thanks @stakeswky.
-- Discord/Agent component interactions: accept Components v2 `cid` payloads alongside legacy `componentId`, and safely decode percent-encoded IDs without throwing on malformed `%` sequences. Landed from contributor PR #29013 by @Jacky1n7. Thanks @Jacky1n7.
-- Matrix/Directory room IDs: preserve original room-ID casing for direct `!roomId` group lookups (without `:server`) so allowlist checks do not fail on case-sensitive IDs. Landed from contributor PR #31201 by @williamos-dev. Thanks @williamos-dev.
-- Discord/Inbound media fallback: preserve attachment and sticker metadata when Discord CDN fetch/save fails by keeping URL-based media entries in context, with regression coverage for save failures and mixed success/failure ordering. Landed from contributor PR #28906 by @Sid-Qin. Thanks @Sid-Qin.
-- Auto-reply/Block reply timeout path: normalize `onBlockReply(...)` execution through `Promise.resolve(...)` before timeout wrapping so mixed sync/async callbacks keep deterministic timeout behavior across strict TypeScript build paths. (#19779) Thanks @dalefrieswthat and @vincentkoc.
-- Cron/One-shot reschedule re-arm: allow completed `at` jobs to run again when rescheduled to a later time than `lastRunAtMs`, while keeping completed non-rescheduled one-shot jobs inactive. (#28915) Thanks @arosstale.
-- Docs/Docker images: clarify the official GHCR image source and tag guidance (`main`, `latest`, `<version>`), and document that `OPENCLAW_IMAGE` skips local image builds but still uses the repo-local compose/setup flow. (#27214, #31180) Fixes #15655. Thanks @ipl31.
-- Docs/Gateway Docker bind guidance: clarify bridge-network loopback behavior and require bind mode values (`auto`/`loopback`/`lan`/`tailnet`/`custom`) instead of host aliases in `gateway.bind`. (#28001) Thanks @Anandesh-Sharma and @vincentkoc.
-- Docker/Image base annotations: add OCI labels for base image plus source/documentation/license metadata, include revision/version/created labels in Docker release builds, and document annotation keys/release context in install docs. Fixes #27945. Thanks @vincentkoc.
-- Agents/Model fallback: classify additional network transport errors (`ECONNREFUSED`, `ENETUNREACH`, `EHOSTUNREACH`, `ENETRESET`, `EAI_AGAIN`) as failover-worthy so fallback chains advance when primary providers are unreachable. Landed from contributor PR #19077 by @ayanesakura. Thanks @ayanesakura.
-- Agents/Copilot token refresh: refresh GitHub Copilot runtime API tokens after auth-expiry failures and re-run with the renewed token so long-running embedded/subagent turns do not fail on mid-session 401 expiry. Landed from contributor PR #8805 by @Arthur742Ramos. Thanks @Arthur742Ramos.
-- Agents/Subagents delivery params: reject unsupported `sessions_spawn` channel-delivery params (`target`, `channel`, `to`, `threadId`, `replyTo`, `transport`) with explicit input errors so delivery intent does not silently leak output to the parent conversation. (#31000)
-- Telegram/Multi-account fallback isolation: fail closed for non-default Telegram accounts when route resolution falls back to `matchedBy=default`, preventing cross-account DM/session contamination without explicit account bindings. (#31110)
-- Discord/Allowlist diagnostics: add debug logs for guild/channel allowlist drops so operators can quickly identify ignored inbound messages and required allowlist entries. Landed from contributor PR #30966 by @haosenwang1018. Thanks @haosenwang1018.
-- Discord/Ack reactions: add Discord-account-level `ackReactionScope` override and support explicit `off`/`none` values in shared config schemas to disable ack reactions per account. Landed from contributor PR #30400 by @BlueBirdBack. Thanks @BlueBirdBack.
-- Discord/Forum thread tags: support `appliedTags` on Discord thread-create actions and map to `applied_tags` for forum/media starter posts, with targeted thread-creation regression coverage. Landed from contributor PR #30358 by @pushkarsingh32. Thanks @pushkarsingh32.
-- Discord/Application ID fallback: parse bot application IDs from token prefixes without numeric precision loss and use token fallback only on transport/timeout failures when probing `/oauth2/applications/@me`. Landed from contributor PR #29695 by @dhananjai1729. Thanks @dhananjai1729.
-- Discord/EventQueue timeout config: expose per-account `channels.discord.accounts.<id>.eventQueue.listenerTimeout` (and related queue options) so long-running handlers can avoid Carbon listener timeout drops. Landed from contributor PR #24270 by @pdd-cli. Thanks @pdd-cli.
-- CLI/Cron run exit code: return exit code `0` only when `cron run` reports `{ ok: true, ran: true }`, and `1` for non-run/error outcomes so scripting/debugging reflects actual execution status. Landed from contributor PR #31121 by @Sid-Qin. Thanks @Sid-Qin.
-- Cron/Failure delivery routing: add `failureAlert.mode` (`announce|webhook`) and `failureAlert.accountId` support, plus `cron.failureDestination` and per-job `delivery.failureDestination` routing with duplicate-target suppression, best-effort skip behavior, and global+job merge semantics. Landed from contributor PR #31059 by @kesor. Thanks @kesor.
-- CLI/JSON preflight output: keep `--json` command stdout machine-readable by suppressing doctor preflight note output while still running legacy migration/config doctor flow. (#24368) Thanks @altaywtf.
-- Nodes/Screen recording guardrails: cap `nodes` tool `screen_record` `durationMs` to 5 minutes at both schema-validation and runtime invocation layers to prevent long-running blocking captures from unbounded durations. Landed from contributor PR #31106 by @BlueBirdBack. Thanks @BlueBirdBack.
-- Telegram/Empty final replies: skip outbound send for null/undefined final text payloads without media so Telegram typing indicators do not linger on `text must be non-empty` errors, with added regression coverage for undefined final payload dispatch. Landed from contributor PRs #30969 by @haosenwang1018 and #30746 by @rylena. Thanks @haosenwang1018 and @rylena.
-- Telegram/Proxy dispatcher preservation: preserve proxy-aware global undici dispatcher behavior in Telegram network workarounds so proxy-backed Telegram + model traffic is not broken by dispatcher replacement. Landed from contributor PR #30367 by @Phineas1500. Thanks @Phineas1500.
-- Telegram/Media fetch IPv4 fallback: retry Telegram media fetches once with IPv4-first dispatcher settings when dual-stack connect errors (`ETIMEDOUT`/`ENETUNREACH`/`EHOSTUNREACH`) occur, improving reliability on broken IPv6 routes. Landed from contributor PR #30554 by @bosuksh. Thanks @bosuksh.
-- Telegram/DM topic session isolation: scope DM topic thread session keys by chat ID (`<chatId>:<threadId>`) and parse scoped thread IDs in outbound recovery so parallel DMs cannot collide on shared topic IDs. Landed from contributor PR #31064 by @0xble. Thanks @0xble.
-- Telegram/Group allowlist ordering: evaluate chat allowlist before sender allowlist enforcement so explicitly allowlisted groups are not fail-closed by empty sender allowlists. Landed from contributor PR #30680 by @openperf. Thanks @openperf.
-- Telegram/Multi-account group isolation: prevent channel-level `groups` config from leaking across Telegram accounts in multi-account setups, avoiding cross-account group routing drops. Landed from contributor PR #30677 by @YUJIE2002. Thanks @YUJIE2002.
-- Telegram/Voice caption overflow fallback: recover from `sendVoice` caption length errors by re-sending voice without caption and delivering text separately so replies are not lost. Landed from contributor PR #31131 by @Sid-Qin. Thanks @Sid-Qin.
-- Telegram/Reply `first` chunking: apply `replyToMode: "first"` reply targets only to the first Telegram text/media/fallback chunk, avoiding multi-chunk over-quoting in split replies. Landed from contributor PR #31077 by @scoootscooob. Thanks @scoootscooob.
-- Feishu/Doc create permissions: remove caller-controlled owner fields from `feishu_doc` create and bind optional grant behavior to trusted Feishu requester context (`grant_to_requester`), preventing principal selection via tool arguments. (#31184) Thanks @Takhoffman.
-- Routing/Binding peer-kind parity: treat `peer.kind` `group` and `channel` as equivalent for binding scope matching (while keeping `direct` separate) so Slack/public channel bindings do not silently fall through. Landed from contributor PR #31135 by @Sid-Qin. Thanks @Sid-Qin.
-- Cron/Store EBUSY fallback: retry `rename` on `EBUSY` and use `copyFile` fallback on Windows when replacing cron store files so busy-file contention no longer causes false write failures. (#16932) Thanks @sudhanva-chakra.
-- Cron/Isolated payload selection: ignore `isError` payloads when deriving summary/output/delivery payload fallbacks, while preserving error-only fallback behavior when no non-error payload exists. (#21454) Thanks @Diaspar4u.
-- Agents/FS workspace default: honor documented host file-tool default `tools.fs.workspaceOnly=false` when unset so host `write`/`edit` calls are not incorrectly workspace-restricted unless explicitly enabled. Landed from contributor PR #31128 by @SaucePackets. Thanks @SaucePackets.
-- Cron/Timer hot-loop guard: enforce a minimum timer re-arm delay when stale past-due jobs would otherwise trigger repeated `setTimeout(0)` loops, preventing event-loop saturation and log-flood behavior. (#29853) Thanks @FlamesCN.
-- Gateway/CLI session recovery: handle expired CLI session IDs gracefully by clearing stale session state and retrying without crashing gateway runs. Landed from contributor PR #31090 by @frankekn. Thanks @frankekn.
-- Onboarding/Docker token parity: use `OPENCLAW_GATEWAY_TOKEN` as the default gateway token in interactive and non-interactive onboarding when `--gateway-token` is not provided, so `docker-setup.sh` token env/config values stay aligned. (#22658) Fixes #22638. Thanks @Clawborn and @vincentkoc.
-- Slack/Subagent completion delivery: stop forcing bound conversation IDs into `threadId` so Slack completion announces do not send invalid `thread_ts` for DMs/top-level channels. Landed from contributor PR #31105 by @stakeswky. Thanks @stakeswky.
-- Signal/Loop protection: evaluate own-account detection before sync-message filtering (including UUID-only `accountUuid` configs) so `sentTranscript` sync events cannot bypass loop protection and self-reply loops. Landed from contributor PR #31093 by @kevinWangSheng. Thanks @kevinWangSheng.
-- Gateway/Control UI origins: support wildcard `"*"` in `gateway.controlUi.allowedOrigins` for trusted remote access setups. Landed from contributor PR #31088 by @frankekn. Thanks @frankekn.
-- Cron/Isolated CLI timeout ratio: avoid reusing persisted CLI session IDs on fresh isolated cron runs so the fresh watchdog profile is used and jobs do not abort at roughly one-third of configured `timeoutSeconds`. (#30140) Thanks @ningding97.
-- Cron/Session target guardrail: reject creating or patching `sessionTarget: "main"` cron jobs when `agentId` is not the default agent, preventing invalid cross-agent main-session bindings at write time. (#30217) Thanks @liaosvcaf.
-- Security/Audit: flag `gateway.controlUi.allowedOrigins=["*"]` as a high-risk configuration (severity based on bind exposure), and add a Feishu doc-tool warning that `owner_open_id` on `feishu_doc` create can grant document permissions.
-- Slack/download-file scoping: thread/channel-aware `download-file` actions now propagate optional scope context and reject downloads when Slack metadata definitively shows the file is outside the requested channel/thread, while preserving legacy behavior when share metadata is unavailable.
+- Network/fetch guard redirect auth stripping: switch cross-origin redirect handling in `fetchWithSsrFGuard` from a narrow sensitive-header denylist to a safe-header allowlist so custom auth headers like `X-Api-Key` and `Private-Token` no longer leak on origin changes. Thanks @Rickidevs for reporting.
 - Security/Sandbox media reads: eliminate sandbox media TOCTOU symlink-retarget escapes by enforcing root-scoped boundary-safe reads at attachment/image load time and consolidating shared safe-read helpers across sandbox media callsites. This ships in the next npm release. Thanks @tdjackey for reporting.
 - Security/Sandbox media staging: block destination symlink escapes in `stageSandboxMedia` by replacing direct destination copies with root-scoped safe writes for both local and SCP-staged attachments, preventing out-of-workspace file overwrite through `media/inbound` alias traversal. This ships in the next npm release (`2026.3.2`). Thanks @tdjackey for reporting.
 - Security/Sandbox fs bridge: harden sandbox `readFile`, `mkdirp`, `remove`, and `rename` operations by pinning reads to boundary-opened file descriptors and anchoring filesystem changes to verified canonical parent directories plus basenames instead of passing mutable full path strings to `mkdir -p`, `rm`, and `mv`, reducing TOCTOU race exposure in sandbox file operations. This ships in the next npm release. Thanks @tdjackey for reporting.
-- Node host/service auth env: include `OPENCLAW_GATEWAY_TOKEN` in `openclaw node install` service environments (with `CLAWDBOT_GATEWAY_TOKEN` compatibility fallback) so installed node services keep remote gateway token auth across restart/reboot. Fixes #31041. Thanks @OneStepAt4time for reporting, @byungsker, @liuxiaopai-ai, and @vincentkoc.
-- Security/Subagents sandbox inheritance: block sandboxed sessions from spawning cross-agent subagents that would run unsandboxed, preventing runtime sandbox downgrade via `sessions_spawn agentId`. Thanks @tdjackey for reporting.
 - Security/Workspace safe writes: harden `writeFileWithinRoot` against symlink-retarget TOCTOU races by opening existing files without truncation, creating missing files with exclusive create, deferring truncation until post-open identity+boundary validation, and removing out-of-root create artifacts on blocked races; added regression tests for truncate/create race paths. This ships in the next npm release (`2026.3.2`). Thanks @tdjackey for reporting.
-- Control UI/Cron editor: include `{ mode: "none" }` in `cron.update` patches when editing an existing job and selecting “Result delivery = None (internal)”, so saved jobs no longer keep stale announce delivery mode. Fixes #31075.
-- Telegram/Restart polling teardown: stop the Telegram bot instance when a polling cycle exits so in-process SIGUSR1 restarts fully tear down old long-poll loops before restart, reducing post-restart `getUpdates` 409 conflict storms. Fixes #31107. Landed from contributor PR #31141 by @liuxiaopai-ai. Thanks @liuxiaopai-ai.
-- Security/Node metadata policy: harden node platform classification against Unicode confusables and switch unknown platform defaults to a conservative allowlist that excludes `system.run`/`system.which` unless explicitly allowlisted, preventing metadata canonicalization drift from broadening node command permissions. Thanks @tdjackey for reporting.
-- Plugins/Discovery precedence: load bundled plugins before auto-discovered global extensions so bundled channel plugins win duplicate-ID resolution by default (explicit `plugins.load.paths` overrides remain highest precedence), with loader regression coverage. Landed from contributor PR #29710 by @Sid-Qin. Thanks @Sid-Qin.
-- Discord/Reconnect integrity: release Discord message listener lane immediately while preserving serialized handler execution, add HELLO-stall resume-first recovery with bounded fresh-identify fallback after repeated stalls, and extend lifecycle/listener regression coverage for forced reconnect scenarios. Landed from contributor PR #29508 by @cgdusek. Thanks @cgdusek.
-- Matrix/Conduit compatibility: avoid blocking startup on non-resolving Matrix sync start, preserve startup error propagation, prevent duplicate monitor listener registration, remove unreliable 2-member DM heuristics, accept `!room` IDs without alias resolution, and add matrix monitor/client regression coverage. Landed from contributor PR #31023 by @efe-arv. Thanks @efe-arv.
-- Discord/Reconnect watchdog: add a shared armable transport stall-watchdog and wire Discord gateway lifecycle force-stop semantics for silent close/reconnect zombies, with gateway/lifecycle watchdog regression coverage and runtime status liveness updates. Follow-up to contributor PR #31025 by @theotarr and PR #30530 by @liuxiaopai-ai. Thanks @theotarr and @liuxiaopai-ai.
-- Security/Skills: harden skill installer metadata parsing by rejecting unsafe installer specs (brew/node/go/uv/download) and constrain plugin-declared skill directories to the plugin root (including symlink-escape checks), with regression coverage.
-- Discord/DM command auth: unify DM allowlist + pairing-store authorization across message preflight and native command interactions so DM command gating is consistent for `open`/`pairing`/`allowlist` policies.
-- Sessions/Usage accounting: persist `cacheRead`/`cacheWrite` from the latest call snapshot (`lastCallUsage`) instead of accumulated multi-call totals, preventing inflated token/cost reporting in long tool/compaction runs. (#31005)
-- Sessions/Followup queue: always schedule followup drain even when unexpected runtime exceptions escape `runReplyAgent`, preventing silent stuck followup backlogs after failed turns. (#30627)
-- Sessions/DM scope migration: when `session.dmScope` is non-`main`, retire stale `agent:*:main` delivery routing metadata once the matching direct-chat peer session is active, preventing duplicate Telegram/DM announce deliveries from legacy main sessions after scope migration. (#31010)
-- Sessions/Compaction safety: add transcript-size forced pre-compaction memory flush (`agents.defaults.compaction.memoryFlush.forceFlushTranscriptBytes`, default 2MB) so long sessions recover without manual transcript deletion when token snapshots are stale. (#30655)
-- Diagnostics/Stuck session signal: add configurable stuck-session warning threshold via `diagnostics.stuckSessionWarnMs` (default 120000ms) to reduce false-positive warnings on long multi-tool turns. (#31032)
-- ACP/Harness thread spawn routing: force ACP harness thread creation through `sessions_spawn` (`runtime: "acp"`, `thread: true`) and explicitly forbid `message action=thread-create` for ACP harness requests, avoiding misrouted `Unknown channel` errors. (#30957) Thanks @dutifulbob.
-- Docs/ACP permissions: document the correct `permissionMode` default (`approve-reads`) and clarify non-interactive permission failure behavior/troubleshooting guidance. (#31044) Thanks @barronlroth.
-- Security/Logging utility hardening: remove `eval`-based command execution from `scripts/clawlog.sh`, switch to argv-safe command construction, and escape predicate literals for user-supplied search/category filters to block local command/predicate injection paths.
-- Security/ACPX Windows spawn hardening: resolve `.cmd/.bat` wrappers via PATH/PATHEXT and execute unwrapped Node/EXE entrypoints without shell parsing when possible, and enable strict fail-closed handling (`strictWindowsCmdWrapper`) by default for unresolvable wrappers on Windows (with explicit opt-out for compatibility). This ships in the next npm release. Thanks @tdjackey for reporting.
-- Security/Inbound metadata stripping: tighten sentinel matching and JSON-fence validation for inbound metadata stripping so user-authored lookalike lines no longer trigger unintended metadata removal.
-- Security/Zalo webhook memory hardening: bound webhook security tracking state and normalize security keying to matched webhook paths (excluding attacker query-string churn) to prevent unauthenticated memory growth pressure on reachable webhook endpoints. Thanks @Somet2mes.
-- Security/Web search citation redirects: enforce strict SSRF defaults for Gemini citation redirect resolution so redirects to localhost/private/internal targets are blocked. Thanks @tdjackey for reporting.
-- Channels/Command parsing parity: align command-body parsing fields with channel command-gating text for Slack, Signal, Microsoft Teams, Mattermost, and BlueBubbles to avoid mention-strip mismatches and inconsistent command detection.
-- CLI/Startup (Raspberry Pi + small hosts): speed up startup by avoiding unnecessary plugin preload on fast routes, adding root `--version` fast-path bootstrap bypass, parallelizing status JSON/non-JSON scans where safe, and enabling Node compile cache at startup with env override compatibility (`NODE_COMPILE_CACHE`, `NODE_DISABLE_COMPILE_CACHE`). (#5871) Thanks @BookCatKid and @vincentkoc for raising startup reports, and @lupuletic for related startup work in #27973.
-- Doctor/macOS state-dir safety: warn when OpenClaw state resolves inside iCloud Drive (`~/Library/Mobile Documents/com~apple~CloudDocs/...`) or `~/Library/CloudStorage/...`, because sync-backed paths can cause slower I/O and lock/sync races. (#31004) Thanks @vincentkoc.
-- Doctor/Linux state-dir safety: warn when OpenClaw state resolves to an `mmcblk*` mount source (SD or eMMC), because random I/O can be slower and media wear can increase under session and credential writes. (#31033) Thanks @vincentkoc.
-- CLI/Startup follow-up: add root `--help` fast-path bootstrap bypass with strict root-only matching, lazily resolve CLI channel options only when commands need them, merge build-time startup metadata (`dist/cli-startup-metadata.json`) with runtime catalog discovery so dynamic catalogs are preserved, and add low-power Linux doctor hints for compile-cache placement and respawn tuning. (#30975) Thanks @vincentkoc.
-- Docker/Compose gateway targeting: run `openclaw-cli` in the `openclaw-gateway` service network namespace, require gateway startup ordering, pin Docker setup to `gateway.mode=local`, sync `gateway.bind` from `OPENCLAW_GATEWAY_BIND`, default optional `CLAUDE_*` compose vars to empty values to reduce automation warning noise, and harden `openclaw-cli` with `cap_drop` (`NET_RAW`, `NET_ADMIN`) + `no-new-privileges`. Docs now call out the shared trust boundary explicitly. (#12504) Thanks @bvanderdrift and @vincentkoc.
-- Telegram/Outbound API proxy env: keep the Node 22 `autoSelectFamily` global-dispatcher workaround while restoring env-proxy support by using `EnvHttpProxyAgent` so `HTTP_PROXY`/`HTTPS_PROXY` continue to apply to outbound requests. (#26207) Thanks @qsysbio-cjw for reporting and @rylena and @vincentkoc for work.
+- Security/Subagents sandbox inheritance: block sandboxed sessions from spawning cross-agent subagents that would run unsandboxed, preventing runtime sandbox downgrade via `sessions_spawn agentId`. Thanks @tdjackey for reporting.
 - Browser/Security: fail closed on browser-control auth bootstrap errors; if auto-auth setup fails and no explicit token/password exists, browser control server startup now aborts instead of starting unauthenticated. This ships in the next npm release. Thanks @ijxpwastaken.
+- Security/ACPX Windows spawn hardening: resolve `.cmd/.bat` wrappers via PATH/PATHEXT and execute unwrapped Node/EXE entrypoints without shell parsing when possible, and enable strict fail-closed handling (`strictWindowsCmdWrapper`) by default for unresolvable wrappers on Windows (with explicit opt-out for compatibility). This ships in the next npm release. Thanks @tdjackey for reporting.
+- Security/Web search citation redirects: enforce strict SSRF defaults for Gemini citation redirect resolution so redirects to localhost/private/internal targets are blocked. Thanks @tdjackey for reporting.
+- Security/Node metadata policy: harden node platform classification against Unicode confusables and switch unknown platform defaults to a conservative allowlist that excludes `system.run`/`system.which` unless explicitly allowlisted, preventing metadata canonicalization drift from broadening node command permissions. Thanks @tdjackey for reporting.
+- Security/Skills: harden skill installer metadata parsing by rejecting unsafe installer specs (brew/node/go/uv/download) and constrain plugin-declared skill directories to the plugin root (including symlink-escape checks), with regression coverage.
 - Sandbox/noVNC hardening: increase observer password entropy, shorten observer token lifetime, and replace noVNC token redirect with a bootstrap page that keeps credentials out of `Location` query strings and adds strict no-cache/no-referrer headers.
-- Security/External content marker folding: expand Unicode angle-bracket homoglyph normalization in marker sanitization so additional guillemet, double-angle, tortoise-shell, flattened-parenthesis, and ornamental variants are folded before boundary replacement. (#30951) Thanks @benediktjohannes.
-- Docs/Slack manifest scopes: add missing DM/group-DM bot scopes (`im:read`, `im:write`, `mpim:read`, `mpim:write`) to the Slack app manifest example so DM setup guidance is complete. (#29999) Thanks @JcMinarro.
-- Slack/Onboarding token help: update setup text to include the “From manifest” app-creation path and current install wording for obtaining the `xoxb-` bot token. (#30846) Thanks @yzhong52.
-- Telegram/Thread fallback safety: when Telegram returns `message thread not found`, retry without `message_thread_id` only for DM-thread sends (not forum topics), and suppress first-attempt danger logs when retry succeeds. Landed from contributor PR #30892 by @liuxiaopai-ai. Thanks @liuxiaopai-ai.
-- Slack/Bot attachment-only messages: when `allowBots: true`, bot messages with empty `text` now include non-forwarded attachment `text`/`fallback` content so webhook alerts are not silently dropped. (#27616) Thanks @lailoo.
-- Slack/Inbound media auth + HTML guard: keep Slack auth headers on forwarded shared attachment image downloads, and reject login/error HTML payloads (while allowing expected `.html` uploads) when resolving Slack media so auth failures do not silently pass as files. (#18642) Thanks @tumf.
+- Security/Logging utility hardening: remove `eval`-based command execution from `scripts/clawlog.sh`, switch to argv-safe command construction, and escape predicate literals for user-supplied search/category filters to block local command/predicate injection paths.
 - Slack/Security ingress mismatch guard: drop slash-command and interaction payloads when app/team identifiers do not match the active Slack account context (including nested `team.id` interaction payloads), preventing cross-app or cross-workspace payload injection into system-event handling. (#29091) Thanks @Solvely-Colin.
-- Cron/Failure alerts: add configurable repeated-failure alerting with per-job overrides and Web UI cron editor support (`inherit|disabled|custom` with threshold/cooldown/channel/target fields). (#24789) Thanks @0xbrak.
-- Cron/Isolated model defaults: resolve isolated cron `subagents.model` (including object-form `primary`) through allowlist-aware model selection so isolated cron runs honor subagent model defaults unless explicitly overridden by job payload model. (#11474) Thanks @AnonO6.
-- Cron/Isolated sessions list: persist the intended pre-run model/provider on isolated cron session entries so `sessions_list` reflects payload/session model overrides even when runs fail before post-run telemetry persistence. (#21279) Thanks @altaywtf.
-- Cron tool/update flat params: recover top-level update patch fields when models omit the `patch` wrapper, and allow flattened update keys through tool input schema validation so `cron.update` no longer fails with `patch required` for valid flat payloads. (#23221)
-- Cron/Announce delivery status: keep isolated cron runs in `ok` state when execution succeeds but announce delivery fails (for example transient `pairing required`), while preserving `delivered=false` and delivery error context for visibility. (#31082) Thanks @YuzuruS.
-- Agents/Message tool scoping: include other configured channels in scoped `message` tool action enum + description so isolated/cron runs can discover and invoke cross-channel actions without schema validation failures. Landed from contributor PR #20840 by @altaywtf. Thanks @altaywtf.
-- Web UI/Chat sessions: add a cron-session visibility toggle in the session selector, fix cron-key detection across `cron:*` and `agent:*:cron:*` formats, and localize the new control labels/tooltips. (#26976) Thanks @ianderrington.
-- Web UI/Cron jobs: add schedule-kind and last-run-status filters to the Jobs list, with reset control and client-side filtering over loaded results. (#9510) Thanks @guxu11.
-- Web UI/Control UI WebSocket defaults: include normalized `gateway.controlUi.basePath` (or inferred nested route base path) in the default `gatewayUrl` so first-load dashboard connections work behind path-based reverse proxies. (#30228) Thanks @gittb.
-- Gateway/Control UI API routing: when `gateway.controlUi.basePath` is unset (default), stop serving Control UI SPA HTML for `/api` and `/api/*` so API paths fall through to normal gateway handlers/404 responses instead of `index.html`. (#30333) Fixes #30295. thanks @Sid-Qin.
-- Cron/One-shot reliability: retry transient one-shot failures with bounded backoff and configurable retry policy before disabling. (#24435) Thanks @hugenshen.
-- Gateway/Cron auditability: add gateway info logs for successful cron create, update, and remove operations. (#25090) Thanks @MoerAI.
-- Gateway/Tailscale onboarding origin allowlist: auto-add the detected Tailnet HTTPS origin during interactive configure/onboarding flows (including IPv6-safe origin formatting and binary-path reuse), so Tailscale serve/funnel Control UI access works without manual `allowedOrigins` edits. Landed from contributor PR #26157 by @stakeswky. Thanks @stakeswky.
-- Gateway/Upgrade migration for Control UI origins: seed `gateway.controlUi.allowedOrigins` on startup for legacy non-loopback configs (`lan`/`tailnet`/`custom`) when origins are missing or blank, preventing post-upgrade crash loops while preserving explicit existing policy. Landed from contributor PR #29394 by @synchronic1. Thanks @synchronic1.
-- Gateway/Plugin HTTP auth hardening: require gateway auth for protected plugin paths and explicit `registerHttpRoute` paths (while preserving wildcard-handler behavior for signature-auth webhooks), and run plugin handlers after built-in handlers for deterministic route precedence. Landed from contributor PR #29198 by @Mariana-Codebase. Thanks @Mariana-Codebase.
-- Gateway/Config patch guard: reject `config.patch` updates that set non-loopback `gateway.bind` while `gateway.tailscale.mode` is `serve`/`funnel`, preventing restart crash loops from invalid bind/tailscale combinations. Landed from contributor PR #30910 by @liuxiaopai-ai. Thanks @liuxiaopai-ai.
-- Cron/Schedule errors: notify users when a job is auto-disabled after repeated schedule computation failures. (#29098) Thanks @ningding97.
-- Config/Legacy gateway bind aliases: normalize host-style `gateway.bind` values (`0.0.0.0`/`::`/`127.0.0.1`/`localhost`) to supported bind modes (`lan`/`loopback`) during legacy migration so older configs recover without manual edits. (#30080) Thanks @liuxiaopai-ai and @vincentkoc.
-- File tools/tilde paths: expand `~/...` against the user home directory before workspace-root checks in host file read/write/edit paths, while preserving root-boundary enforcement so outside-root targets remain blocked. (#29779) Thanks @Glucksberg.
-- Slack/HTTP mode startup: treat Slack HTTP accounts as configured when `botToken` + `signingSecret` are present (without requiring `appToken`) in channel config/runtime status so webhook mode is not silently skipped. (#30567) Thanks @liuxiaopai-ai.
-- Slack/Transient request errors: classify Slack request-error messages like `Client network socket disconnected before secure TLS connection was established` as transient in unhandled-rejection fatal detection, preventing temporary network drops from crash-looping the gateway. (#23169) Thanks @graysurf.
-- Slack/Usage footer formatting: wrap session keys in inline code in full response-usage footers so Slack does not parse colon-delimited session segments as emoji shortcodes. (#30258) Thanks @pushkarsingh32.
-- Slack/Thread session isolation: route channel/group top-level messages into thread-scoped sessions (`:thread:<ts>`) and read inbound `previousTimestamp` from the resolved thread session key, preventing cross-thread context bleed and stale timestamp lookups. (#10686) Thanks @pablohrcarvalho.
-- Slack/Socket Mode slash startup: treat `app.options()` registration as best-effort and fall back to static arg menus when listener registration fails, preventing Slack monitor startup crash loops on receiver init edge cases. (#21715) Thanks @AIflow-Labs.
-- Slack/Legacy streaming config: map boolean `channels.slack.streaming=false` to unified streaming mode `off` (with `nativeStreaming=false`) so legacy configs correctly disable draft preview/native streaming instead of defaulting to `partial`. (#25990) Thanks @chilu18.
-- Slack/Socket reconnect reliability: reconnect Socket Mode after disconnect/start failures using bounded exponential backoff with abort-aware waits, while preserving clean shutdown behavior and adding disconnect/error helper tests. (#27232) Thanks @pandego.
-- Memory/QMD update+embed output cap: discard captured stdout for `qmd update` and `qmd embed` runs (while keeping stderr diagnostics) so large index progress output no longer fails sync with `produced too much output` during boot/refresh. (#28900; landed from contributor PR #23311 by @haitao-sjsu) Thanks @haitao-sjsu.
-- Feishu/Onboarding SecretRef guards: avoid direct `.trim()` calls on object-form `appId`/`appSecret` in onboarding credential checks, keep status semantics strict when an account explicitly sets empty `appId` (no fallback to top-level `appId`), recognize env SecretRef `appId`/`appSecret` as configured so readiness is accurate, and preserve unresolved SecretRef errors in default account resolution for actionable diagnostics. (#30903) Thanks @LiaoyuanNing.
-- Onboarding/Custom providers: raise default custom-provider model context window to the runtime hard minimum (16k) and auto-heal existing custom model entries below that threshold during reconfiguration, preventing immediate `Model context window too small (4096 tokens)` failures. (#21653) Thanks @r4jiv007.
+- Security/Inbound metadata stripping: tighten sentinel matching and JSON-fence validation for inbound metadata stripping so user-authored lookalike lines no longer trigger unintended metadata removal.
+- Security/External content marker folding: expand Unicode angle-bracket homoglyph normalization in marker sanitization so additional guillemet, double-angle, tortoise-shell, flattened-parenthesis, and ornamental variants are folded before boundary replacement. (#30951) Thanks @benediktjohannes.
+- Security/Zalo webhook memory hardening: bound webhook security tracking state and normalize security keying to matched webhook paths (excluding attacker query-string churn) to prevent unauthenticated memory growth pressure on reachable webhook endpoints. Thanks @Somet2mes.
+- Security/Audit: flag `gateway.controlUi.allowedOrigins=["*"]` as a high-risk configuration (severity based on bind exposure), and add a Feishu doc-tool warning that `owner_open_id` on `feishu_doc` create can grant document permissions.
+- Hooks/auth throttling: reject non-`POST` `/hooks/*` requests before auth-failure accounting so unsupported methods can no longer burn the hook auth lockout budget and block legitimate webhook delivery. Thanks @JNX03 for reporting.
+- Feishu/Doc create permissions: remove caller-controlled owner fields from `feishu_doc` create and bind optional grant behavior to trusted Feishu requester context (`grant_to_requester`), preventing principal selection via tool arguments. (#31184) Thanks @Takhoffman.
+- Dashboard/macOS auth handling: switch the macOS “Open Dashboard” flow from query-string token injection to URL fragments, stop persisting Control UI gateway tokens in browser localStorage, and scrub legacy stored tokens on load. Thanks @JNX03 for reporting.

Landed from contributor PR #26157. Thanks @stakeswky.
 - Web UI/Assistant text: strip internal `<relevant-memories>...</relevant-memories>` scaffolding from rendered assistant messages (while preserving code-fence literals), preventing memory-context leakage in chat output for models that echo internal blocks. (#29851) Thanks @Valkster70.
 - Dashboard/Sessions: allow authenticated Control UI clients to delete and patch sessions while still blocking regular webchat clients from session mutation RPCs, fixing Dashboard session delete failures. (#21264) Thanks @jskoiz.

-- Memory/Hybrid recall: when strict hybrid scoring yields no hits, preserve keyword-backed matches using a text-weight floor so freshly indexed lexical canaries no longer disappear behind `minScore` filtering. (#29112) Thanks @ceo-nada.
-- Android/Notifications auth race: return `NOT_AUTHORIZED` when `POST_NOTIFICATIONS` is revoked between authorization precheck and delivery, instead of returning success while dropping the notification. (#30726) Thanks @obviyus.
+- Web UI/Control UI WebSocket defaults: include normalized `gateway.controlUi.basePath` (or inferred nested route base path) in the default `gatewayUrl` so first-load dashboard connections work behind path-based reverse proxies. (#30228) Thanks @gittb.
+- Gateway/Control UI API routing: when `gateway.controlUi.basePath` is unset (default), stop serving Control UI SPA HTML for `/api` and `/api/*` so API paths fall through to normal gateway handlers/404 responses instead of `index.html`. (#30333) Fixes #30295. thanks @Sid-Qin.
+- Node host/service auth env: include `OPENCLAW_GATEWAY_TOKEN` in `openclaw node install` service environments (with `CLAWDBOT_GATEWAY_TOKEN` compatibility fallback) so installed node services keep remote gateway token auth across restart/reboot. Fixes #31041. Thanks @OneStepAt4time for reporting, @byungsker, @liuxiaopai-ai, and @vincentkoc.

+- Control UI/Cron editor: include `{ mode: "none" }` in `cron.update` patches when editing an existing job and selecting “Result delivery = None (internal)”, so saved jobs no longer keep stale announce delivery mode. Fixes #31075.
+- Feishu/Multi-account + reply reliability: add `channels.feishu.defaultAccount` outbound routing support with schema validation, prevent inbound preview text from leaking into prompt system events, keep quoted-message extraction text-first (post/interactive/file placeholders instead of raw JSON), route Feishu video sends as `msg_type: "file"`, and avoid websocket event blocking by using non-blocking event handling in monitor dispatch. Landed from contributor PRs #31209, #29610, #30432, #30331, and #29501. Thanks @stakeswky, @hclsys, @bmendonca3, @patrick-yingxi-pan, and @zwffff.
+- Feishu/Target routing + replies + dedupe: normalize provider-prefixed targets (`feishu:`/`lark:`), prefer configured `channels.feishu.defaultAccount` for tool execution, honor Feishu outbound `renderMode` in adapter text/caption sends, fall back to normal send when reply targets are withdrawn/deleted, and add synchronous in-memory dedupe guard for concurrent duplicate inbound events. Landed from contributor PRs #30428, #30438, #29958, #30444, and #29463. Thanks @bmendonca3 and @Yaxuan42.
+- Channels/Multi-account default routing: add optional `channels.<channel>.defaultAccount` default-selection support across message channels so omitted `accountId` routes to an explicit configured account instead of relying on implicit first-entry ordering (fallback behavior unchanged when unset).
+- Telegram/Multi-account fallback isolation: fail closed for non-default Telegram accounts when route resolution falls back to `matchedBy=default`, preventing cross-account DM/session contamination without explicit account bindings. (#31110)
+- Telegram/DM topic session isolation: scope DM topic thread session keys by chat ID (`<chatId>:<threadId>`) and parse scoped thread IDs in outbound recovery so parallel DMs cannot collide on shared topic IDs. Landed from contributor PR #31064. Thanks @0xble.
+- Telegram/Multi-account group isolation: prevent channel-level `groups` config from leaking across Telegram accounts in multi-account setups, avoiding cross-account group routing drops. Landed from contributor PR #30677. Thanks @YUJIE2002.
+- Telegram/Group allowlist ordering: evaluate chat allowlist before sender allowlist enforcement so explicitly allowlisted groups are not fail-closed by empty sender allowlists. Landed from contributor PR #30680. Thanks @openperf.
+- Telegram/Empty final replies: skip outbound send for null/undefined final text payloads without media so Telegram typing indicators do not linger on `text must be non-empty` errors, with added regression coverage for undefined final payload dispatch. Landed from contributor PRs #30969 and #30746. Thanks @haosenwang1018 and @rylena.
+- Telegram/Voice caption overflow fallback: recover from `sendVoice` caption length errors by re-sending voice without caption and delivering text separately so replies are not lost. Landed from contributor PR #31131. Thanks @Sid-Qin.
+- Telegram/Reply `first` chunking: apply `replyToMode: "first"` reply targets only to the first Telegram text/media/fallback chunk, avoiding multi-chunk over-quoting in split replies. Landed from contributor PR #31077. Thanks @scoootscooob.
+- Telegram/Proxy dispatcher preservation: preserve proxy-aware global undici dispatcher behavior in Telegram network workarounds so proxy-backed Telegram + model traffic is not broken by dispatcher replacement. Landed from contributor PR #30367. Thanks @Phineas1500.
+- Telegram/Media fetch IPv4 fallback: retry Telegram media fetches once with IPv4-first dispatcher settings when dual-stack connect errors (`ETIMEDOUT`/`ENETUNREACH`/`EHOSTUNREACH`) occur, improving reliability on broken IPv6 routes. Landed from contributor PR #30554. Thanks @bosuksh.
+- Telegram/Restart polling teardown: stop the Telegram bot instance when a polling cycle exits so in-process SIGUSR1 restarts fully tear down old long-poll loops before restart, reducing post-restart `getUpdates` 409 conflict storms. Fixes #31107. Landed from contributor PR #31141. Thanks @liuxiaopai-ai.
+- Google Chat/Thread replies: set `messageReplyOption=REPLY_MESSAGE_FALLBACK_TO_NEW_THREAD` on threaded sends so replies attach to existing threads instead of silently failing thread placement. Landed from contributor PR #30965. Thanks @novan.
+- Mattermost/Private channel policy routing: map Mattermost private channel type `P` to group chat type so `groupPolicy`/`groupAllowFrom` gates apply correctly instead of being treated as open public channels. Landed from contributor PR #30891. Thanks @BlueBirdBack.
+- Discord/Agent component interactions: accept Components v2 `cid` payloads alongside legacy `componentId`, and safely decode percent-encoded IDs without throwing on malformed `%` sequences. Landed from contributor PR #29013. Thanks @Jacky1n7.
+- Discord/Inbound media fallback: preserve attachment and sticker metadata when Discord CDN fetch/save fails by keeping URL-based media entries in context, with regression coverage for save failures and mixed success/failure ordering. Landed from contributor PR #28906. Thanks @Sid-Qin.
+- Matrix/Directory room IDs: preserve original room-ID casing for direct `!roomId` group lookups (without `:server`) so allowlist checks do not fail on case-sensitive IDs. Landed from contributor PR #31201. Thanks @williamos-dev.
+- Slack/Subagent completion delivery: stop forcing bound conversation IDs into `threadId` so Slack completion announces do not send invalid `thread_ts` for DMs/top-level channels. Landed from contributor PR #31105. Thanks @stakeswky.
+- Signal/Loop protection: evaluate own-account detection before sync-message filtering (including UUID-only `accountUuid` configs) so `sentTranscript` sync events cannot bypass loop protection and self-reply loops. Landed from contributor PR #31093. Thanks @kevinWangSheng.
+- Discord/DM command auth: unify DM allowlist + pairing-store authorization across message preflight and native command interactions so DM command gating is consistent for `open`/`pairing`/`allowlist` policies.
+- Slack/download-file scoping: thread/channel-aware `download-file` actions now propagate optional scope context and reject downloads when Slack metadata definitively shows the file is outside the requested channel/thread, while preserving legacy behavior when share metadata is unavailable.
+- Routing/Binding peer-kind parity: treat `peer.kind` `group` and `channel` as equivalent for binding scope matching (while keeping `direct` separate) so Slack/public channel bindings do not silently fall through. Landed from contributor PR #31135. Thanks @Sid-Qin.
+- Discord/Reconnect integrity: release Discord message listener lane immediately while preserving serialized handler execution, add HELLO-stall resume-first recovery with bounded fresh-identify fallback after repeated stalls, and extend lifecycle/listener regression coverage for forced reconnect scenarios. Landed from contributor PR #29508. Thanks @cgdusek.
+- Discord/Reconnect watchdog: add a shared armable transport stall-watchdog and wire Discord gateway lifecycle force-stop semantics for silent close/reconnect zombies, with gateway/lifecycle watchdog regression coverage and runtime status liveness updates. Follow-up to contributor PR #31025 by @theotarr and PR #30530 by @liuxiaopai-ai. Thanks @theotarr and @liuxiaopai-ai.
+- Matrix/Conduit compatibility: avoid blocking startup on non-resolving Matrix sync start, preserve startup error propagation, prevent duplicate monitor listener registration, remove unreliable 2-member DM heuristics, accept `!room` IDs without alias resolution, and add matrix monitor/client regression coverage. Landed from contributor PR #31023. Thanks @efe-arv.
+- Slack/HTTP mode startup: treat Slack HTTP accounts as configured when `botToken` + `signingSecret` are present (without requiring `appToken`) in channel config/runtime status so webhook mode is not silently skipped. (#30567) Thanks @liuxiaopai-ai.
+- Slack/Socket reconnect reliability: reconnect Socket Mode after disconnect/start failures using bounded exponential backoff with abort-aware waits, while preserving clean shutdown behavior and adding disconnect/error helper tests. (#27232) Thanks @pandego.
+- Slack/Thread session isolation: route channel/group top-level messages into thread-scoped sessions (`:thread:<ts>`) and read inbound `previousTimestamp` from the resolved thread session key, preventing cross-thread context bleed and stale timestamp lookups. (#10686) Thanks @pablohrcarvalho.
+- Slack/Transient request errors: classify Slack request-error messages like `Client network socket disconnected before secure TLS connection was established` as transient in unhandled-rejection fatal detection, preventing temporary network drops from crash-looping the gateway. (#23169) Thanks @graysurf.
+- Slack/Disabled channel startup: skip Slack monitor socket startup entirely when `channels.slack.enabled=false` (including configs that still contain valid tokens), preventing disabled accounts from opening websocket connections. (#30586) Thanks @liuxiaopai-ai.
+- Telegram/Outbound API proxy env: keep the Node 22 `autoSelectFamily` global-dispatcher workaround while restoring env-proxy support by using `EnvHttpProxyAgent` so `HTTP_PROXY`/`HTTPS_PROXY` continue to apply to outbound requests. (#26207) Thanks @qsysbio-cjw for reporting and @rylena and @vincentkoc for work.
+- Telegram/Thread fallback safety: when Telegram returns `message thread not found`, retry without `message_thread_id` only for DM-thread sends (not forum topics), and suppress first-attempt danger logs when retry succeeds. Landed from contributor PR #30892. Thanks @liuxiaopai-ai.
+- Slack/Inbound media auth + HTML guard: keep Slack auth headers on forwarded shared attachment image downloads, and reject login/error HTML payloads (while allowing expected `.html` uploads) when resolving Slack media so auth failures do not silently pass as files. (#18642) Thanks @tumf.
+- Slack/Bot attachment-only messages: when `allowBots: true`, bot messages with empty `text` now include non-forwarded attachment `text`/`fallback` content so webhook alerts are not silently dropped. (#27616) Thanks @lailoo.
+- Slack/Onboarding token help: update setup text to include the “From manifest” app-creation path and current install wording for obtaining the `xoxb-` bot token. (#30846) Thanks @yzhong52.
+- Feishu/Docx editing tools: add `feishu_doc` positional insert, table row/column operations, table-cell merge, and color-text updates; switch markdown write/append/insert to Descendant API insertion with large-document batching; and harden image uploads for data URI/base64/local-path inputs with strict validation and routing-safe upload metadata. (#29411) Thanks @Elarwei001.
+- Discord/Allowlist diagnostics: add debug logs for guild/channel allowlist drops so operators can quickly identify ignored inbound messages and required allowlist entries. Landed from contributor PR #30966. Thanks @haosenwang1018.

+- Discord/Forum thread tags: support `appliedTags` on Discord thread-create actions and map to `applied_tags` for forum/media starter posts, with targeted thread-creation regression coverage. Landed from contributor PR #30358. Thanks @pushkarsingh32.
+- Discord/Application ID fallback: parse bot application IDs from token prefixes without numeric precision loss and use token fallback only on transport/timeout failures when probing `/oauth2/applications/@me`. Landed from contributor PR #29695. Thanks @dhananjai1729.
+- Discord/EventQueue timeout config: expose per-account `channels.discord.accounts.<id>.eventQueue.listenerTimeout` (and related queue options) so long-running handlers can avoid Carbon listener timeout drops. Landed from contributor PR #24270. Thanks @pdd-cli.
+- Slack/Usage footer formatting: wrap session keys in inline code in full response-usage footers so Slack does not parse colon-delimited session segments as emoji shortcodes. (#30258) Thanks @pushkarsingh32.
+- Slack/Socket Mode slash startup: treat `app.options()` registration as best-effort and fall back to static arg menus when listener registration fails, preventing Slack monitor startup crash loops on receiver init edge cases. (#21715) Thanks @AIflow-Labs.
+- Slack/Legacy streaming config: map boolean `channels.slack.streaming=false` to unified streaming mode `off` (with `nativeStreaming=false`) so legacy configs correctly disable draft preview/native streaming instead of defaulting to `partial`. (#25990) Thanks @chilu18.
+- Cron/Failure delivery routing: add `failureAlert.mode` (`announce|webhook`) and `failureAlert.accountId` support, plus `cron.failureDestination` and per-job `delivery.failureDestination` routing with duplicate-target suppression, best-effort skip behavior, and global+job merge semantics. Landed from contributor PR #31059. Thanks @kesor.
+- Cron/announce delivery: stop duplicate completion announces when cron early-return paths already handled delivery, and replace descendant followup polling with push-based waits so cron summaries arrive without the old busy-loop fallback. (#39089) Thanks @tyler6204.
+- Cron/Failure alerts: add configurable repeated-failure alerting with per-job overrides and Web UI cron editor support (`inherit|disabled|custom` with threshold/cooldown/channel/target fields). (#24789) Thanks @0xbrak.
+- Cron/Isolated model defaults: resolve isolated cron `subagents.model` (including object-form `primary`) through allowlist-aware model selection so isolated cron runs honor subagent model defaults unless explicitly overridden by job payload model. (#11474) Thanks @AnonO6.
+- Cron/Announce delivery status: keep isolated cron runs in `ok` state when execution succeeds but announce delivery fails (for example transient `pairing required`), while preserving `delivered=false` and delivery error context for visibility. (#31082) Thanks @YuzuruS.
+- Cron/One-shot reliability: retry transient one-shot failures with bounded backoff and configurable retry policy before disabling. (#24435) Thanks @hugenshen.
+- Cron/Schedule errors: notify users when a job is auto-disabled after repeated schedule computation failures. (#29098) Thanks @ningding97.
+- Cron/One-shot reschedule re-arm: allow completed `at` jobs to run again when rescheduled to a later time than `lastRunAtMs`, while keeping completed non-rescheduled one-shot jobs inactive. (#28915) Thanks @arosstale.
+- Cron/Store EBUSY fallback: retry `rename` on `EBUSY` and use `copyFile` fallback on Windows when replacing cron store files so busy-file contention no longer causes false write failures. (#16932) Thanks @sudhanva-chakra.
+- Cron/Isolated payload selection: ignore `isError` payloads when deriving summary/output/delivery payload fallbacks, while preserving error-only fallback behavior when no non-error payload exists. (#21454) Thanks @Diaspar4u.
+- Cron/Isolated CLI timeout ratio: avoid reusing persisted CLI session IDs on fresh isolated cron runs so the fresh watchdog profile is used and jobs do not abort at roughly one-third of configured `timeoutSeconds`. (#30140) Thanks @ningding97.
+- Cron/Session target guardrail: reject creating or patching `sessionTarget: "main"` cron jobs when `agentId` is not the default agent, preventing invalid cross-agent main-session bindings at write time. (#30217) Thanks @liaosvcaf.
 - Cron/Reminder session routing: preserve `job.sessionKey` for `sessionTarget="main"` runs so queued reminders wake and deliver in the originating scoped session/channel instead of being forced to the agent main session.
 - Cron/Timezone regression guard: add explicit schedule coverage for `0 8 * * *` with `Asia/Shanghai` to ensure `nextRunAtMs` never rolls back to a past year and always advances to the next valid occurrence. (#30351)
+- Cron/Isolated sessions list: persist the intended pre-run model/provider on isolated cron session entries so `sessions_list` reflects payload/session model overrides even when runs fail before post-run telemetry persistence. (#21279) Thanks @altaywtf.
+- Cron tool/update flat params: recover top-level update patch fields when models omit the `patch` wrapper, and allow flattened update keys through tool input schema validation so `cron.update` no longer fails with `patch required` for valid flat payloads. (#23221)
+- Web UI/Cron jobs: add schedule-kind and last-run-status filters to the Jobs list, with reset control and client-side filtering over loaded results. (#9510) Thanks @guxu11.
+- Web UI/Chat sessions: add a cron-session visibility toggle in the session selector, fix cron-key detection across `cron:*` and `agent:*:cron:*` formats, and localize the new control labels/tooltips. (#26976) Thanks @ianderrington.
+- Cron/Timer hot-loop guard: enforce a minimum timer re-arm delay when stale past-due jobs would otherwise trigger repeated `setTimeout(0)` loops, preventing event-loop saturation and log-flood behavior. (#29853) Thanks @FlamesCN.
+- Models/provider config precedence: prefer exact `models.providers.<name>` matches before normalized provider aliases in embedded model resolution, preventing alias/canonical key collisions from applying the wrong provider `api`, `baseUrl`, or headers. (#35934) thanks @RealKai42.
+- Models/Custom provider keys: trim custom provider map keys during normalization so image-capable models remain discoverable when provider keys are configured with leading/trailing whitespace. Landed from contributor PR #31202. Thanks @stakeswky.
+- Agents/Model fallback: classify additional network transport errors (`ECONNREFUSED`, `ENETUNREACH`, `EHOSTUNREACH`, `ENETRESET`, `EAI_AGAIN`) as failover-worthy so fallback chains advance when primary providers are unreachable. Landed from contributor PR #19077. Thanks @ayanesakura.
+- Agents/Copilot token refresh: refresh GitHub Copilot runtime API tokens after auth-expiry failures and re-run with the renewed token so long-running embedded/subagent turns do not fail on mid-session 401 expiry. Landed from contributor PR #8805. Thanks @Arthur742Ramos.
+- Agents/Subagents delivery params: reject unsupported `sessions_spawn` channel-delivery params (`target`, `channel`, `to`, `threadId`, `replyTo`, `transport`) with explicit input errors so delivery intent does not silently leak output to the parent conversation. (#31000)
+- Agents/FS workspace default: honor documented host file-tool default `tools.fs.workspaceOnly=false` when unset so host `write`/`edit` calls are not incorrectly workspace-restricted unless explicitly enabled. Landed from contributor PR #31128. Thanks @SaucePackets.
+- Sessions/Followup queue: always schedule followup drain even when unexpected runtime exceptions escape `runReplyAgent`, preventing silent stuck followup backlogs after failed turns. (#30627)
+- Sessions/Compaction safety: add transcript-size forced pre-compaction memory flush (`agents.defaults.compaction.memoryFlush.forceFlushTranscriptBytes`, default 2MB) so long sessions recover without manual transcript deletion when token snapshots are stale. (#30655)
+- Sessions/Usage accounting: persist `cacheRead`/`cacheWrite` from the latest call snapshot (`lastCallUsage`) instead of accumulated multi-call totals, preventing inflated token/cost reporting in long tool/compaction runs. (#31005)
+- Sessions/DM scope migration: when `session.dmScope` is non-`main`, retire stale `agent:*:main` delivery routing metadata once the matching direct-chat peer session is active, preventing duplicate Telegram/DM announce deliveries from legacy main sessions after scope migration. (#31010)
+- Agents/Session status: read thinking/verbose/reasoning levels from persisted session state in `session_status` output when resolved levels are not provided, so status reflects runtime toggles correctly. (#30129) Thanks @YuzuruS.
+- Agents/Tool-name recovery chain: normalize streamed alias/case tool names against the allowed set, preserve whitespace-only streamed placeholders to avoid collapsing to empty names, and repair/guard persisted blank `toolResult.toolName` values from matching tool calls to reduce repeated `Tool not found` loops in long sessions.

(#29796) Thanks @obviyus.
-- Feishu/Startup probes: serialize multi-account bot-info probes during monitor startup so large Feishu account sets do not burst `/open-apis/bot/v3/info`, bound startup probe latency/abort handling to avoid head-of-line stalls, and avoid triggering rate limits. (#26685, #29941) Thanks @bmendonca3.
-- FS/Sandbox workspace boundaries: add a dedicated `outside-workspace` safe-open error code for root-escape checks, and propagate specific outside-workspace messages across edit/browser/media consumers instead of generic not-found/invalid-path fallbacks. (#29715) Thanks @YuzuruS.
-- Config/Doctor group allowlist diagnostics: align `groupPolicy: "allowlist"` warnings with per-channel runtime semantics by excluding Google Chat sender-list checks and by warning when no-fallback channels (for example iMessage) omit `groupAllowFrom`, with regression coverage. (#28477) Thanks @tonydehnke.
-- Slack/Disabled channel startup: skip Slack monitor socket startup entirely when `channels.slack.enabled=false` (including configs that still contain valid tokens), preventing disabled accounts from opening websocket connections. (#30586) Thanks @liuxiaopai-ai.
+- Onboarding/Custom providers: raise default custom-provider model context window to the runtime hard minimum (16k) and auto-heal existing custom model entries below that threshold during reconfiguration, preventing immediate `Model context window too small (4096 tokens)` failures. (#21653) Thanks @r4jiv007.
 - Onboarding/Custom providers: use Azure OpenAI-specific verification auth/payload shape (`api-key`, deployment-path chat completions payload) when probing Azure endpoints so valid Azure custom-provider setup no longer fails preflight. (#29421) Thanks @kunalk16.

(#29411) Thanks @Elarwei001.
+- Feishu/Onboarding SecretRef guards: avoid direct `.trim()` calls on object-form `appId`/`appSecret` in onboarding credential checks, keep status semantics strict when an account explicitly sets empty `appId` (no fallback to top-level `appId`), recognize env SecretRef `appId`/`appSecret` as configured so readiness is accurate, and preserve unresolved SecretRef errors in default account resolution for actionable diagnostics. (#30903) Thanks @LiaoyuanNing.
+- Memory/Hybrid recall: when strict hybrid scoring yields no hits, preserve keyword-backed matches using a text-weight floor so freshly indexed lexical canaries no longer disappear behind `minScore` filtering. (#29112) Thanks @ceo-nada.

+- Android/Notifications auth race: return `NOT_AUTHORIZED` when `POST_NOTIFICATIONS` is revoked between authorization precheck and delivery, instead of returning success while dropping the notification. (#30726) Thanks @obviyus.
 - Commands/Owner-only tools: treat identified direct-chat senders as owners when no owner allowlist is configured, while preserving internal `operator.admin` owner sessions. (#26331) thanks @widingmarcus-cyber
+- ACP/Harness thread spawn routing: force ACP harness thread creation through `sessions_spawn` (`runtime: "acp"`, `thread: true`) and explicitly forbid `message action=thread-create` for ACP harness requests, avoiding misrouted `Unknown channel` errors. (#30957) Thanks @dutifulbob.
+- Agents/Message tool scoping: include other configured channels in scoped `message` tool action enum + description so isolated/cron runs can discover and invoke cross-channel actions without schema validation failures. Landed from contributor PR #20840. Thanks @altaywtf.
+- Plugins/Discovery precedence: load bundled plugins before auto-discovered global extensions so bundled channel plugins win duplicate-ID resolution by default (explicit `plugins.load.paths` overrides remain highest precedence), with loader regression coverage. Landed from contributor PR #29710. Thanks @Sid-Qin.
+- CLI/Startup (Raspberry Pi + small hosts): speed up startup by avoiding unnecessary plugin preload on fast routes, adding root `--version` fast-path bootstrap bypass, parallelizing status JSON/non-JSON scans where safe, and enabling Node compile cache at startup with env override compatibility (`NODE_COMPILE_CACHE`, `NODE_DISABLE_COMPILE_CACHE`). (#5871) Thanks @BookCatKid and @vincentkoc for raising startup reports, and @lupuletic for related startup work in #27973.
+- CLI/Startup follow-up: add root `--help` fast-path bootstrap bypass with strict root-only matching, lazily resolve CLI channel options only when commands need them, merge build-time startup metadata (`dist/cli-startup-metadata.json`) with runtime catalog discovery so dynamic catalogs are preserved, and add low-power Linux doctor hints for compile-cache placement and respawn tuning. (#30975) Thanks @vincentkoc.
+- Docker/Compose gateway targeting: run `openclaw-cli` in the `openclaw-gateway` service network namespace, require gateway startup ordering, pin Docker setup to `gateway.mode=local`, sync `gateway.bind` from `OPENCLAW_GATEWAY_BIND`, default optional `CLAUDE_*` compose vars to empty values to reduce automation warning noise, and harden `openclaw-cli` with `cap_drop` (`NET_RAW`, `NET_ADMIN`) + `no-new-privileges`. Docs now call out the shared trust boundary explicitly. (#12504) Thanks @bvanderdrift and @vincentkoc.
+- Docker/Image base annotations: add OCI labels for base image plus source/documentation/license metadata, include revision/version/created labels in Docker release builds, and document annotation keys/release context in install docs. Fixes #27945. Thanks @vincentkoc.
+- Config/Legacy gateway bind aliases: normalize host-style `gateway.bind` values (`0.0.0.0`/`::`/`127.0.0.1`/`localhost`) to supported bind modes (`lan`/`loopback`) during legacy migration so older configs recover without manual edits. (#30080) Thanks @liuxiaopai-ai and @vincentkoc.
+- Podman/Quadlet setup: fix `sed` escaping and UID mismatch in Podman Quadlet setup. (#26414) Thanks @KnHack and @vincentkoc.
+- Doctor/macOS state-dir safety: warn when OpenClaw state resolves inside iCloud Drive (`~/Library/Mobile Documents/com~apple~CloudDocs/...`) or `~/Library/CloudStorage/...`, because sync-backed paths can cause slower I/O and lock/sync races. (#31004) Thanks @vincentkoc.
+- Doctor/Linux state-dir safety: warn when OpenClaw state resolves to an `mmcblk*` mount source (SD or eMMC), because random I/O can be slower and media wear can increase under session and credential writes. (#31033) Thanks @vincentkoc.
+- CLI/Cron run exit code: return exit code `0` only when `cron run` reports `{ ok: true, ran: true }`, and `1` for non-run/error outcomes so scripting/debugging reflects actual execution status. Landed from contributor PR #31121. Thanks @Sid-Qin.
+- CLI/JSON preflight output: keep `--json` command stdout machine-readable by suppressing doctor preflight note output while still running legacy migration/config doctor flow. (#24368) Thanks @altaywtf.
+- Issues/triage labeling: consolidate bug intake to a single bug issue form with required bug-type classification (regression/crash/behavior), auto-apply matching subtype labels from issue form content, and retire the separate regression template to reduce misfiled issue types and improve queue filtering. Thanks @vincentkoc.
+- Logging/Subsystem console timestamps: route subsystem console timestamp rendering through `formatConsoleTimestamp(...)` so `pretty` and timestamp-prefix output use local timezone formatting consistently instead of inline UTC `toISOString()` paths. (#25970) Thanks @openperf.
+- Auto-reply/Block reply timeout path: normalize `onBlockReply(...)` execution through `Promise.resolve(...)` before timeout wrapping so mixed sync/async callbacks keep deterministic timeout behavior across strict TypeScript build paths. (#19779) Thanks @dalefrieswthat and @vincentkoc.
+- Nodes/Screen recording guardrails: cap `nodes` tool `screen_record` `durationMs` to 5 minutes at both schema-validation and runtime invocation layers to prevent long-running blocking captures from unbounded durations. Landed from contributor PR #31106. Thanks @BlueBirdBack.
+- Gateway/CLI session recovery: handle expired CLI session IDs gracefully by clearing stale session state and retrying without crashing gateway runs. Landed from contributor PR #31090. Thanks @frankekn.
+- Onboarding/Docker token parity: use `OPENCLAW_GATEWAY_TOKEN` as the default gateway token in interactive and non-interactive onboarding when `--gateway-token` is not provided, so `docker-setup.sh` token env/config values stay aligned. (#22658) Fixes #22638. Thanks @Clawborn and @vincentkoc.
+- Channels/Command parsing parity: align command-body parsing fields with channel command-gating text for Slack, Signal, Microsoft Teams, Mattermost, and BlueBubbles to avoid mention-strip mismatches and inconsistent command detection.
+- File tools/tilde paths: expand `~/...` against the user home directory before workspace-root checks in host file read/write/edit paths, while preserving root-boundary enforcement so outside-root targets remain blocked. (#29779) Thanks @Glucksberg.
+- Memory/QMD update+embed output cap: discard captured stdout for `qmd update` and `qmd embed` runs (while keeping stderr diagnostics) so large index progress output no longer fails sync with `produced too much output` during boot/refresh. (#28900; landed from contributor PR #23311 by @haitao-sjsu) Thanks @haitao-sjsu.
+- Config/Doctor group allowlist diagnostics: align `groupPolicy: "allowlist"` warnings with per-channel runtime semantics by excluding Google Chat sender-list checks and by warning when no-fallback channels (for example iMessage) omit `groupAllowFrom`, with regression coverage. (#28477) Thanks @tonydehnke.
+- TUI/Session model status: clear stale runtime model identity when model overrides change so `/model` updates are reflected immediately in `sessions.patch` responses and `sessions.list` status surfaces. (#28619) Thanks @lejean2000.
+- TUI/SIGTERM shutdown: ignore `setRawMode EBADF` teardown errors during `SIGTERM` exit so long-running TUI sessions do not crash on terminal shutdown races, while still rethrowing unrelated stop errors. (#29430) Thanks @Cormazabal.
+- Browser/Navigate: resolve the correct `targetId` in navigate responses after renderer swaps. (#25326) Thanks @stone-jin and @vincentkoc.
+- FS/Sandbox workspace boundaries: add a dedicated `outside-workspace` safe-open error code for root-escape checks, and propagate specific outside-workspace messages across edit/browser/media consumers instead of generic not-found/invalid-path fallbacks. (#29715) Thanks @YuzuruS.
+- Diagnostics/Stuck session signal: add configurable stuck-session warning threshold via `diagnostics.stuckSessionWarnMs` (default 120000ms) to reduce false-positive warnings on long multi-tool turns. (#31032)
