fix(release): repair broad gate regressions

CHANGELOG.md

@@ -55,6 +55,7 @@ Docs: https://docs.openclaw.ai
 - Telegram: log successful outbound text and media deliveries with account, chat, message, operation, thread, reply, silent, and chunk metadata while keeping message bodies out of logs. Fixes #83196. (#83247) Thanks @jrwrest.
 - Cron: link isolated scheduled task runs to their stable cron session so task status and cleanup can follow the backing agent run. (#83606) Thanks @jai.
 - CLI: enforce the documented Node.js 22.19 runtime floor in the source launcher.
+- Release stability: repair broad-gate regressions in requester-agent completion handoff, QA-Lab mock spawn attribution, Slack monitor test isolation, plugin uninstall peer fixtures, and Node-floor launcher contract coverage.
 - Agents/replies: persist queued follow-up user messages and assistant error stubs only once across model-fallback retries, preventing repeated provider rejections from corrupted same-role session transcripts. Fixes #83404. (#83417) Thanks @yetval.
 - Slack: persist delivered inbound message IDs and fail closed when same-channel thread replies lose their thread context, preventing delayed duplicate replies and accidental channel-root posts. Fixes #83521. Thanks @shannon0430.
 - Codex app-server: complete OpenClaw dynamic tool diagnostics at the request boundary so successful, failed, timed out, aborted, and blocked tool calls do not leave active tool state behind. Fixes #83474. Thanks @rozmiarD.
