Subject: [PATCH 001/467] fix(voice-call): verify call status with provider
 before loading stale calls

On gateway restart, persisted non-terminal calls are now verified with
the provider (Twilio/Plivo/Telnyx) before being restored to memory.
This prevents phantom calls from blocking the concurrent call limit.

- Add getCallStatus() to VoiceCallProvider interface
- Implement for all providers with SSRF-guarded fetch
- Transient errors (5xx, network) keep the call with timer fallback
- 404/known-terminal statuses drop the call
- Restart max-duration timers for restored answered calls
- Skip calls older than maxDurationSeconds or without providerCallId

 ### Fixes
 
 - Sandbox/Bootstrap context boundary hardening: reject symlink/hardlink alias bootstrap seed files that resolve outside the source workspace and switch post-compaction `AGENTS.md` context reads to boundary-verified file opens, preventing host file content from being injected via workspace aliasing. Thanks @tdjackey for reporting.
+- Browser/Security output boundary hardening: replace check-then-rename output commits with root-bound fd-verified writes, unify install/skills canonical path-boundary checks, and add regression coverage for symlink-rebind race paths across browser output and shared fs-safe write flows. Thanks @tdjackey for reporting.
 - Gateway/Security hardening: tie loopback-origin dev allowance to actual local socket clients (not Host header claims), add explicit warnings/metrics when `gateway.controlUi.dangerouslyAllowHostHeaderOriginFallback` accepts websocket origins, harden safe-regex detection for quantified ambiguous alternation patterns (for example `(a|aa)+`), and bound large regex-evaluation inputs for session-filter and log-redaction paths.
 - Tests/Sandbox + archive portability: use junction-compatible directory-link setup on Windows and explicit file-symlink platform guards in symlink escape tests where unprivileged file symlinks are unavailable, reducing false Windows CI failures while preserving traversal checks on supported paths. (#28747) Thanks @arosstale.
 - Security/Skills archive extraction: unify tar extraction safety checks across tar.gz and tar.bz2 install flows, enforce tar compressed-size limits, and fail closed if tar.bz2 archives change between preflight and extraction to prevent bypasses of entry-type/size guardrails. Thanks @GCXWLP for reporting.

 ### Fixes
 
+- Security/Node exec approvals: preserve shell/dispatch-wrapper argv semantics during approval hardening so approved wrapper commands (for example `env sh -c ...`) cannot drift into a different runtime command shape, and add regression coverage for both approval-plan generation and approved runtime execution paths. Thanks @tdjackey for reporting.
 - Sandbox/Bootstrap context boundary hardening: reject symlink/hardlink alias bootstrap seed files that resolve outside the source workspace and switch post-compaction `AGENTS.md` context reads to boundary-verified file opens, preventing host file content from being injected via workspace aliasing. Thanks @tdjackey for reporting.
 - Browser/Security output boundary hardening: replace check-then-rename output commits with root-bound fd-verified writes, unify install/skills canonical path-boundary checks, and add regression coverage for symlink-rebind race paths across browser output and shared fs-safe write flows. Thanks @tdjackey for reporting.
 - Gateway/Security hardening: tie loopback-origin dev allowance to actual local socket clients (not Host header claims), add explicit warnings/metrics when `gateway.controlUi.dangerouslyAllowHostHeaderOriginFallback` accepts websocket origins, harden safe-regex detection for quantified ambiguous alternation patterns (for example `(a|aa)+`), and bound large regex-evaluation inputs for session-filter and log-redaction paths.

 - Security/Node exec approvals: preserve shell/dispatch-wrapper argv semantics during approval hardening so approved wrapper commands (for example `env sh -c ...`) cannot drift into a different runtime command shape, and add regression coverage for both approval-plan generation and approved runtime execution paths. Thanks @tdjackey for reporting.
 - Sandbox/Bootstrap context boundary hardening: reject symlink/hardlink alias bootstrap seed files that resolve outside the source workspace and switch post-compaction `AGENTS.md` context reads to boundary-verified file opens, preventing host file content from being injected via workspace aliasing. Thanks @tdjackey for reporting.
 - Browser/Security output boundary hardening: replace check-then-rename output commits with root-bound fd-verified writes, unify install/skills canonical path-boundary checks, and add regression coverage for symlink-rebind race paths across browser output and shared fs-safe write flows. Thanks @tdjackey for reporting.
+- Security/Webhook request hardening: enforce auth-before-body parsing for BlueBubbles and Google Chat webhook handlers, add strict pre-auth body/time budgets for webhook auth paths (including LINE signature verification), and add shared in-flight/request guardrails plus regression tests/lint checks to prevent reintroducing unauthenticated slow-body DoS patterns. Thanks @GCXWLP for reporting.
 - Gateway/Security hardening: tie loopback-origin dev allowance to actual local socket clients (not Host header claims), add explicit warnings/metrics when `gateway.controlUi.dangerouslyAllowHostHeaderOriginFallback` accepts websocket origins, harden safe-regex detection for quantified ambiguous alternation patterns (for example `(a|aa)+`), and bound large regex-evaluation inputs for session-filter and log-redaction paths.
 - Tests/Sandbox + archive portability: use junction-compatible directory-link setup on Windows and explicit file-symlink platform guards in symlink escape tests where unprivileged file symlinks are unavailable, reducing false Windows CI failures while preserving traversal checks on supported paths. (#28747) Thanks @arosstale.
 - Security/Skills archive extraction: unify tar extraction safety checks across tar.gz and tar.bz2 install flows, enforce tar compressed-size limits, and fail closed if tar.bz2 archives change between preflight and extraction to prevent bypasses of entry-type/size guardrails. Thanks @GCXWLP for reporting.

 ## How it works
 
 1. Google Chat sends webhook POSTs to the gateway. Each request includes an `Authorization: Bearer <token>` header.
+   - OpenClaw verifies bearer auth before reading/parsing full webhook bodies when the header is present.
+   - Google Workspace Add-on requests that carry `authorizationEventObject.systemIdToken` in the body are supported via a stricter pre-auth body budget.
 2. OpenClaw verifies the token against the configured `audienceType` + `audience`:
    - `audienceType: "app-url"` → audience is your HTTPS webhook URL.
    - `audienceType: "project-number"` → audience is the Cloud project number.

 ### Fixes
 
+- Sandbox/Docker setup command parsing: accept `agents.*.sandbox.docker.setupCommand` as either a string or a string array, and normalize arrays to newline-delimited shell scripts so multi-step setup commands no longer concatenate without separators. (#31953) Thanks @liuxiaopai-ai.
 - Security/Node exec approvals: preserve shell/dispatch-wrapper argv semantics during approval hardening so approved wrapper commands (for example `env sh -c ...`) cannot drift into a different runtime command shape, and add regression coverage for both approval-plan generation and approved runtime execution paths. Thanks @tdjackey for reporting.
 - Sandbox/Bootstrap context boundary hardening: reject symlink/hardlink alias bootstrap seed files that resolve outside the source workspace and switch post-compaction `AGENTS.md` context reads to boundary-verified file opens, preventing host file content from being injected via workspace aliasing. Thanks @tdjackey for reporting.
 - Browser/Security output boundary hardening: replace check-then-rename output commits with root-bound fd-verified writes, unify install/skills canonical path-boundary checks, and add regression coverage for symlink-rebind race paths across browser output and shared fs-safe write flows. Thanks @tdjackey for reporting.

 ### Breaking
 
 - **BREAKING:** Zalo Personal plugin (`@openclaw/zalouser`) no longer depends on external `zca`-compatible CLI binaries (`openzca`, `zca-cli`) for runtime send/listen/login; operators should use `openclaw channels login --channel zalouser` after upgrade to refresh sessions in the new JS-native path.
+- **BREAKING:** Onboarding now defaults `tools.profile` to `messaging` for new local installs (interactive + non-interactive). New setups no longer start with broad coding/system tools unless explicitly configured.
 - **BREAKING:** Node exec approval payloads now require `systemRunPlan`. `host=node` approval requests without that plan are rejected.
 - **BREAKING:** Node `system.run` execution now pins path-token commands to the canonical executable path (`realpath`) in both allowlist and approval execution flows. Integrations/tests that asserted token-form argv (for example `tr`) must now accept canonical paths (for example `/usr/bin/tr`).
 - **BREAKING:** Plugin SDK removed `api.registerHttpHandler(...)`. Plugins must register explicit HTTP routes via `api.registerHttpRoute({ path, auth, match, handler })`, and dynamic webhook lifecycles should use `registerPluginHttpRoute(...)`.

 - Daemon/macOS TLS certs: default LaunchAgent service env `NODE_EXTRA_CA_CERTS` to `/etc/ssl/cert.pem` (while preserving explicit overrides) so HTTPS clients no longer fail with local-issuer errors under launchd. (#27915) Thanks @Lukavyi.
 - Discord/Components wildcard handlers: use distinct internal registration sentinel IDs and parse those sentinels as wildcard keys so select/user/role/channel/mentionable/modal interactions are not dropped by raw customId dedupe paths.

Subject: [PATCH 029/467] fix(gateway): move plugin HTTP routes before Control
 UI SPA catch-all (#31885)
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

* fix(gateway): move plugin HTTP routes before Control UI SPA catch-all

The Control UI handler (`handleControlUiHttpRequest`) acts as an SPA
catch-all that matches every path, returning HTML for GET requests and
405 for other methods.  Because it ran before `handlePluginRequest` in
the request chain, any plugin HTTP route that did not live under
`/plugins` or `/api` was unreachable — shadowed by the catch-all.

Reorder the handlers so plugin routes are evaluated first.  Core
built-in routes (hooks, tools, Slack, Canvas, etc.) still take
precedence because they are checked even earlier in the chain.
Unmatched plugin paths continue to fall through to Control UI as before.

Closes #31766

* fix: add changelog for plugin route precedence landing (#31885) (thanks @Sid-Qin)

 ### Fixes
 
 - Sandbox/Docker setup command parsing: accept `agents.*.sandbox.docker.setupCommand` as either a string or a string array, and normalize arrays to newline-delimited shell scripts so multi-step setup commands no longer concatenate without separators. (#31953) Thanks @liuxiaopai-ai.
+- Gateway/Plugin HTTP route precedence: run explicit plugin HTTP routes before the Control UI SPA catch-all so registered plugin webhook/custom paths remain reachable, while unmatched paths still fall through to Control UI handling. (#31885) Thanks @Sid-Qin.
 - Security/Node exec approvals: preserve shell/dispatch-wrapper argv semantics during approval hardening so approved wrapper commands (for example `env sh -c ...`) cannot drift into a different runtime command shape, and add regression coverage for both approval-plan generation and approved runtime execution paths. Thanks @tdjackey for reporting.
 - Sandbox/Bootstrap context boundary hardening: reject symlink/hardlink alias bootstrap seed files that resolve outside the source workspace and switch post-compaction `AGENTS.md` context reads to boundary-verified file opens, preventing host file content from being injected via workspace aliasing. Thanks @tdjackey for reporting.
 - Browser/Security output boundary hardening: replace check-then-rename output commits with root-bound fd-verified writes, unify install/skills canonical path-boundary checks, and add regression coverage for symlink-rebind race paths across browser output and shared fs-safe write flows. Thanks @tdjackey for reporting.

Subject: [PATCH 033/467] fix(slack): remove message.channels/message.groups
 handlers that crash Bolt 4.6 (#32033)

* fix(slack): remove message.channels/message.groups handlers that crash Bolt 4.6

Bolt 4.6 rejects app.event() calls with event names starting with
"message." (e.g. "message.channels", "message.groups"), throwing
AppInitializationError on startup. These handlers were added in #31701
based on the incorrect assumption that Slack dispatches typed event
names to Bolt. In reality, Slack always delivers events with
type:"message" regardless of the Event Subscription name; the
channel_type field distinguishes the source.

The generic app.event("message") handler already receives all channel,
group, IM, and MPIM messages. The additional typed handlers were
unreachable even if Bolt allowed them, since no event payload ever
carries type:"message.channels".

This preserves the handleIncomingMessageEvent refactor from #31701
(extracting the handler into a named function) while removing only
the broken registrations.

Fixes the Slack provider crash loop affecting all accounts on
@slack/bolt >= 4.6.0.

Closes #31674 (original issue was not caused by missing handlers)

* fix: document Slack Bolt 4.6 startup handler fix (#32033) (thanks @mahopan)

 - Gateway/Plugin HTTP route precedence: run explicit plugin HTTP routes before the Control UI SPA catch-all so registered plugin webhook/custom paths remain reachable, while unmatched paths still fall through to Control UI handling. (#31885) Thanks @Sid-Qin.
 - Security/Node exec approvals: preserve shell/dispatch-wrapper argv semantics during approval hardening so approved wrapper commands (for example `env sh -c ...`) cannot drift into a different runtime command shape, and add regression coverage for both approval-plan generation and approved runtime execution paths. Thanks @tdjackey for reporting.

Subject: [PATCH 034/467] fix(telegram): guard token.trim() against undefined
 to prevent startup crash

When account.token is undefined (e.g. missing botToken config),
calling .trim() directly throws "Cannot read properties of undefined".
Use nullish coalescing to fall back to empty string before trimming.

 ### Fixes
 
+- Web UI/config form: support SecretInput string-or-secret-ref unions in map `additionalProperties`, so provider API key fields stay editable instead of being marked unsupported. (#31866) Thanks @ningding97.
 - Slack/Bolt startup compatibility: remove invalid `message.channels` and `message.groups` event registrations so Slack providers no longer crash on startup with Bolt 4.6+; channel/group traffic continues through the unified `message` handler (`channel_type`). (#32033) Thanks @mahopan.
 - Telegram: guard duplicate-token checks and gateway startup token normalization when account tokens are missing, preventing `token.trim()` crashes during status/start flows. (#31973) Thanks @ningding97.
 - Skills/sherpa-onnx-tts: run the `sherpa-onnx-tts` bin under ESM (replace CommonJS `require` imports) and add regression coverage to prevent `require is not defined in ES module scope` startup crashes. (#31965) Thanks @bmendonca3.

Subject: [PATCH 039/467] fix(doctor): resolve false positive for local memory
 search when no explicit modelPath (#32014)
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

* fix(doctor): resolve false positive for local memory search when no explicit modelPath

When memorySearch.provider is 'local' (or 'auto') and no explicit
local.modelPath is configured, the runtime auto-resolves to
DEFAULT_LOCAL_MODEL (embeddinggemma-300m via HuggingFace). However,
the doctor's hasLocalEmbeddings() check only inspected the config
value and returned false when modelPath was empty, triggering a
misleading warning.

Fix: fall back to DEFAULT_LOCAL_MODEL in hasLocalEmbeddings(), matching
the runtime behavior in createLocalEmbeddingProvider().

Closes #31998

* fix: scope DEFAULT_LOCAL_MODEL fallback to explicit provider:local only

Address review feedback: canAutoSelectLocal() in the runtime skips
local for empty/hf: model paths in auto mode. The DEFAULT_LOCAL_MODEL
fallback should only apply when provider is explicitly 'local', not
when provider is 'auto' — otherwise users with no local file and no
API keys would get a clean doctor report but no working embeddings.

Add useDefaultFallback parameter to hasLocalEmbeddings() to
distinguish the two code paths.

* fix: preserve gateway probe warning for local provider with default model

When hasLocalEmbeddings returns true via DEFAULT_LOCAL_MODEL fallback,
also check the gateway memory probe if available. If the probe reports
not-ready (e.g. node-llama-cpp missing or model download failed),
emit a warning instead of silently reporting healthy.

Addresses review feedback about bypassing probe-based validation.

* fix: add changelog attribution for doctor local fallback fix (#32014) (thanks @adhishthite)

Subject: [PATCH 042/467] fix(cron): move session reaper to finally block so it
 runs reliably (#31996)
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

* fix(cron): move session reaper to finally block so it runs reliably

The cron session reaper was placed inside the try block of onTimer(),
after job execution and state updates. If the locked persist section
threw, the reaper was skipped — causing isolated cron run sessions to
accumulate indefinitely in sessions.json.

Move the reaper into the finally block so it always executes after a
timer tick, regardless of whether job execution succeeded. The reaper
is already self-throttled (MIN_SWEEP_INTERVAL_MS = 5 min) so calling
it more reliably has no performance impact.

Closes #31946

* fix: strengthen cron reaper failure-path coverage and changelog (#31996) (thanks @scoootscooob)

+- Voice-call/webhook routing: require exact webhook path matches (instead of prefix matches) so lookalike paths cannot reach provider verification/dispatch logic. (#31930) Thanks @afurm.
 - Web UI/config form: support SecretInput string-or-secret-ref unions in map `additionalProperties`, so provider API key fields stay editable instead of being marked unsupported. (#31866) Thanks @ningding97.
 - Slack/Bolt startup compatibility: remove invalid `message.channels` and `message.groups` event registrations so Slack providers no longer crash on startup with Bolt 4.6+; channel/group traffic continues through the unified `message` handler (`channel_type`). (#32033) Thanks @mahopan.
 - Telegram: guard duplicate-token checks and gateway startup token normalization when account tokens are missing, preventing `token.trim()` crashes during status/start flows. (#31973) Thanks @ningding97.

 ### Fixes
 
+- Gateway/Heartbeat model reload: treat `models.*` and `agents.defaults.model` config updates as heartbeat hot-reload triggers so heartbeat picks up model changes without a full gateway restart. (#32046) Thanks @stakeswky.
 - Memory/LanceDB embeddings: forward configured `embedding.dimensions` into OpenAI embeddings requests so vector size and API output dimensions stay aligned when dimensions are explicitly configured. (#32036) Thanks @scotthuang.
 - Mentions/Slack formatting hardening: add null-safe guards for runtime text normalization paths so malformed/undefined text payloads do not crash mention stripping or mrkdwn conversion. (#31865) Thanks @stone-jin.
 - Failover/error classification: treat HTTP `529` (provider overloaded, common with Anthropic-compatible APIs) as `rate_limit` so model failover can engage instead of misclassifying the error path. (#31854) Thanks @bugkill3r.

Subject: [PATCH 065/467] fix(slack): scope debounce key by message timestamp
 to prevent cross-thread collisions

Top-level channel messages from the same sender shared a bare channel
debounce key, causing concurrent messages in different threads to merge
into a single reply on the wrong thread. Now the debounce key includes
the message timestamp for top-level messages, matching how the downstream
session layer already scopes by canonicalThreadId.

Extracted buildSlackDebounceKey() for testability.

Closes #31935

 ### Fixes
 
 - Gateway/Heartbeat model reload: treat `models.*` and `agents.defaults.model` config updates as heartbeat hot-reload triggers so heartbeat picks up model changes without a full gateway restart. (#32046) Thanks @stakeswky.
+- Slack/inbound debounce routing: isolate top-level non-DM message debounce keys by message timestamp to avoid cross-thread collisions, preserve DM batching, and flush pending top-level buffers before immediate non-debounce follow-ups to keep ordering stable. (#31951) Thanks @scoootscooob.
 - Memory/LanceDB embeddings: forward configured `embedding.dimensions` into OpenAI embeddings requests so vector size and API output dimensions stay aligned when dimensions are explicitly configured. (#32036) Thanks @scotthuang.
 - Mentions/Slack formatting hardening: add null-safe guards for runtime text normalization paths so malformed/undefined text payloads do not crash mention stripping or mrkdwn conversion. (#31865) Thanks @stone-jin.
 - Failover/error classification: treat HTTP `529` (provider overloaded, common with Anthropic-compatible APIs) as `rate_limit` so model failover can engage instead of misclassifying the error path. (#31854) Thanks @bugkill3r.

Subject: [PATCH 067/467] fix(openrouter): skip reasoning.effort injection for
 x-ai/grok models

x-ai/grok models on OpenRouter do not support the reasoning.effort
parameter and reject payloads containing it with "Invalid arguments
passed to the model." Skip reasoning injection for these models, the
same way we already skip it for the dynamic "auto" routing model.

Closes #32039

Subject: [PATCH 069/467] fix(agents): scope volcengine-plan/byteplus-plan auth
 lookup to profile resolution

The configure flow stores auth credentials under `provider: "volcengine"`,
but the coding model uses `volcengine-plan` as its provider. Add a scoped
`normalizeProviderIdForAuth` function used only by `listProfilesForProvider`
so coding-plan variants resolve to their base provider for auth credential
lookup without affecting global provider routing.

Closes #31731

Subject: [PATCH 070/467] fix(tools): honor fsPolicy.workspaceOnly in image/pdf
 tool localRoots

PR #28822 fixed the Write/Edit tools to respect `tools.fs.workspaceOnly`,
but the image and PDF tools still unconditionally include default local
roots (`~/.openclaw/media`, `~/.openclaw/agents`, etc.) when computing
the `localRoots` allowlist for non-sandbox mode.

When `fsPolicy.workspaceOnly` is true, restrict `localRoots` to only the
workspace directory so that files outside the workspace are rejected by
`assertLocalMediaAllowed()`.

Relates to #31716

Subject: [PATCH 072/467] fix: skip Telegram command sync when menu is
 unchanged (#32017)

Hash the command list and cache it to disk per account. On restart,
compare the current hash against the cached one and skip the
deleteMyCommands + setMyCommands round-trip when nothing changed.
This prevents 429 rate-limit errors when the gateway restarts
several times in quick succession.

 - Docker/Image health checks: add Dockerfile `HEALTHCHECK` that probes gateway `GET /healthz` so container runtimes can mark unhealthy instances without requiring auth credentials in the probe command. (#11478) Thanks @U-C4N and @vincentkoc.
 - Docker/Sandbox bootstrap hardening: make `OPENCLAW_SANDBOX` opt-in parsing explicit (`1|true|yes|on`), support custom Docker socket paths via `OPENCLAW_DOCKER_SOCKET`, defer docker.sock exposure until sandbox prerequisites pass, and reset/roll back persisted sandbox mode to `off` when setup is skipped or partially fails to avoid stale broken sandbox state. (#29974) Thanks @jamtujest and @vincentkoc.
 - Daemon/systemd checks in containers: treat missing `systemctl` invocations (including `spawn systemctl ENOENT`/`EACCES`) as unavailable service state during `is-enabled` checks, preventing container flows from failing with `Gateway service check failed` before install/status handling can continue. (#26089) Thanks @sahilsatralkar and @vincentkoc.
+- Browser/Gateway hardening: preserve env credentials for `OPENCLAW_GATEWAY_URL` / `CLAWDBOT_GATEWAY_URL` while treating explicit `--url` as override-only auth, and make container browser hardening flags optional with safer defaults for Docker/LXC stability. (#31504) Thanks @vincentkoc.
 - Android/Nodes reliability: reject `facing=both` when `deviceId` is set to avoid mislabeled duplicate captures, allow notification `open`/`reply` on non-clearable entries while still gating dismiss, trigger listener rebind before notification actions, and scale invoke-result ack timeout to invoke budget for large clip payloads. (#28260) Thanks @obviyus.
 - Windows/Plugin install: avoid `spawn EINVAL` on Windows npm/npx invocations by resolving to `node` + npm CLI scripts instead of spawning `.cmd` directly. Landed from contributor PR #31147 by @codertony. Thanks @codertony.
 - Windows/Spawn canonicalization: unify non-core Windows spawn handling across ACP client, QMD/mcporter memory paths, and sandbox Docker execution using the shared wrapper-resolution policy, with targeted regression coverage for `.cmd` shim unwrapping and shell fallback behavior. (#31750) Thanks @Takhoffman.

 By default, sandbox containers run with **no network**.
 Override with `agents.defaults.sandbox.docker.network`.
 
+The bundled sandbox browser image also applies conservative Chromium startup defaults
+for containerized workloads. Current container defaults include:
+
+- `--remote-debugging-address=127.0.0.1`
+- `--remote-debugging-port=<derived from OPENCLAW_BROWSER_CDP_PORT>`
+- `--user-data-dir=${HOME}/.chrome`
+- `--no-first-run`

+- `--disable-3d-apis`
+- `--disable-gpu`
+- `--disable-dev-shm-usage`
+- `--disable-background-networking`
+- `--disable-extensions`
+- `--disable-features=TranslateUI`
+- `--disable-breakpad`
+- `--disable-crash-reporter`
+- `--disable-software-rasterizer`
+- `--no-zygote`
+- `--metrics-recording-only`
+- `--renderer-process-limit=2`
+- `--no-sandbox` and `--disable-setuid-sandbox` when `noSandbox` is enabled.
+- The three graphics hardening flags (`--disable-3d-apis`,
+  `--disable-software-rasterizer`, `--disable-gpu`) are optional and are useful
+  when containers lack GPU support. Set `OPENCLAW_BROWSER_DISABLE_GRAPHICS_FLAGS=0`
+  if your workload requires WebGL or other 3D/browser features.
+- `--disable-extensions` is enabled by default and can be disabled with
+  `OPENCLAW_BROWSER_DISABLE_EXTENSIONS=0` for extension-reliant flows.
+- `--renderer-process-limit=2` is controlled by
+  `OPENCLAW_BROWSER_RENDERER_PROCESS_LIMIT=<N>`, where `0` keeps Chromium's default.
+
+If you need a different runtime profile, use a custom browser image and provide
+your own entrypoint. For local (non-container) Chromium profiles, use
+`browser.extraArgs` to append additional startup flags.

 - Browser containers default to a dedicated Docker network (`openclaw-sandbox-browser`) instead of global `bridge`.
 - Optional `agents.defaults.sandbox.browser.cdpSourceRange` restricts container-edge CDP ingress by CIDR (for example `172.21.0.1/32`).
 - noVNC observer access is password-protected by default; OpenClaw provides a short-lived observer token URL that serves a local bootstrap page and keeps the password in URL fragment (instead of URL query).
+- Browser container startup defaults are conservative for shared/container workloads, including:
+  - `--remote-debugging-address=127.0.0.1`

+  - If `agents.defaults.sandbox.browser.noSandbox` is set, `--no-sandbox` and
+    `--disable-setuid-sandbox` are also appended.
+  - The three graphics hardening flags above are optional. If your workload needs
+    WebGL/3D, set `OPENCLAW_BROWSER_DISABLE_GRAPHICS_FLAGS=0` to run without
+    `--disable-3d-apis`, `--disable-software-rasterizer`, and `--disable-gpu`.
+  - Extension behavior is controlled by `--disable-extensions` and can be disabled
+    (enables extensions) via `OPENCLAW_BROWSER_DISABLE_EXTENSIONS=0` for
+    extension-dependent pages or extensions-heavy workflows.
+  - `--renderer-process-limit=2` is also configurable with
+    `OPENCLAW_BROWSER_RENDERER_PROCESS_LIMIT`; set `0` to let Chromium choose its
+    default process limit when browser concurrency needs tuning.

Subject: [PATCH 076/467] fix(delivery): strip HTML tags for plain-text
 messaging surfaces

Models occasionally produce HTML tags in their output. While these render
fine on web surfaces, they appear as literal text on WhatsApp, Signal,
SMS, IRC, and Telegram.

Add sanitizeForPlainText() utility that converts common inline HTML to
lightweight-markup equivalents and strips remaining tags. Applied in the
outbound delivery pipeline for non-HTML surfaces only.

Closes #31884

Subject: [PATCH 084/467] fix(queue): restart drain when message enqueued after
 idle window

After a drain loop empties the queue it deletes the key from
FOLLOWUP_QUEUES.  If a new message arrives at that moment
enqueueFollowupRun creates a fresh queue object with draining:false
but never starts a drain, leaving the message stranded until the
next run completes and calls finalizeWithFollowup.

Fix: persist the most recent runFollowup callback per queue key in
FOLLOWUP_RUN_CALLBACKS (drain.ts).  enqueueFollowupRun now calls
kickFollowupDrainIfIdle after a successful push; if a cached
callback exists and no drain is running it calls scheduleFollowupDrain
to restart immediately.  clearSessionQueues cleans up the callback
cache alongside the queue state.

 ### Fixes
 
+- Auto-reply/followup queue: avoid stale callback reuse across idle-window restarts by caching the followup runner only when a drain actually starts, preserving enqueue ordering after empty-finalize paths. (#31902) Thanks @Lanfei.
 - Gateway/Heartbeat model reload: treat `models.*` and `agents.defaults.model` config updates as heartbeat hot-reload triggers so heartbeat picks up model changes without a full gateway restart. (#32046) Thanks @stakeswky.
 - Slack/inbound debounce routing: isolate top-level non-DM message debounce keys by message timestamp to avoid cross-thread collisions, preserve DM batching, and flush pending top-level buffers before immediate non-debounce follow-ups to keep ordering stable. (#31951) Thanks @scoootscooob.
 - OpenRouter/x-ai compatibility: skip `reasoning.effort` injection for `x-ai/*` models (for example Grok) so OpenRouter requests no longer fail with invalid-arguments errors on unsupported reasoning params. (#32054) Thanks @scoootscooob.

Subject: [PATCH 089/467] fix(plugins): support legacy install entry fallback
 (#32055)

* fix(plugins): fallback install entrypoints for legacy manifests

* Voice Call: enforce exact webhook path match

* Tests: isolate webhook path suite and reset cron auth state

* chore: keep #31930 scoped to voice webhook path fix

* fix: add changelog for exact voice webhook path match (#31930) (thanks @afurm)

* fix: handle HTTP 529 (Anthropic overloaded) in failover error classification

Classify Anthropic's 529 status code as "rate_limit" so model fallback
triggers reliably without depending on fragile message-based detection.

Closes #28502

* fix: add changelog for HTTP 529 failover classification (#31854) (thanks @bugkill3r)

* fix(slack): guard against undefined text in includes calls during mention handling

* fix: add changelog for mentions/slack null-safe guards (#31865) (thanks @stone-jin)

* fix(memory-lancedb): pass dimensions to embedding API call

- Add dimensions parameter to Embeddings constructor
- Pass dimensions to OpenAI embeddings.create() API call
- Fixes dimension mismatch when using custom embedding models like DashScope text-embedding-v4

* fix: add regression for memory-lancedb dimensions pass-through (#32036) (thanks @scotthuang)

* fix(telegram): guard malformed native menu specs

* fix: harden plugin command registration + telegram menu guard (#31997) (thanks @liuxiaopai-ai)

* fix(gateway): restart heartbeat on model config changes

* fix: add changelog credit for heartbeat model reload (#32046) (thanks @stakeswky)

* test(process): replace no-output timer subprocess with spawn mock

* test(perf): trim repeated setup in cron memory and config suites

* test(perf): reduce per-case setup in script and git-hook tests

* fix(slack): scope debounce key by message timestamp to prevent cross-thread collisions

Top-level channel messages from the same sender shared a bare channel
debounce key, causing concurrent messages in different threads to merge
into a single reply on the wrong thread. Now the debounce key includes
the message timestamp for top-level messages, matching how the downstream
session layer already scopes by canonicalThreadId.

Extracted buildSlackDebounceKey() for testability.

Closes #31935

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>

* fix: harden slack debounce key routing and ordering (#31951) (thanks @scoootscooob)

* fix(openrouter): skip reasoning.effort injection for x-ai/grok models

x-ai/grok models on OpenRouter do not support the reasoning.effort
parameter and reject payloads containing it with "Invalid arguments
passed to the model." Skip reasoning injection for these models, the
same way we already skip it for the dynamic "auto" routing model.

Closes #32039

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>

* fix: add changelog credit for openrouter x-ai reasoning guard (#32054) (thanks @scoootscooob)

* fix(agents): scope volcengine-plan/byteplus-plan auth lookup to profile resolution

The configure flow stores auth credentials under `provider: "volcengine"`,
but the coding model uses `volcengine-plan` as its provider. Add a scoped
`normalizeProviderIdForAuth` function used only by `listProfilesForProvider`
so coding-plan variants resolve to their base provider for auth credential
lookup without affecting global provider routing.

Closes #31731

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>

* fix(tools): honor fsPolicy.workspaceOnly in image/pdf tool localRoots

PR #28822 fixed the Write/Edit tools to respect `tools.fs.workspaceOnly`,
but the image and PDF tools still unconditionally include default local
roots (`~/.openclaw/media`, `~/.openclaw/agents`, etc.) when computing
the `localRoots` allowlist for non-sandbox mode.

When `fsPolicy.workspaceOnly` is true, restrict `localRoots` to only the
workspace directory so that files outside the workspace are rejected by
`assertLocalMediaAllowed()`.

Relates to #31716

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>

* fix: add changelog credit for fsPolicy image/pdf propagation (#31882) (thanks @justinhuangcode)

* fix: skip Telegram command sync when menu is unchanged (#32017)

Hash the command list and cache it to disk per account. On restart,
compare the current hash against the cached one and skip the
deleteMyCommands + setMyCommands round-trip when nothing changed.
This prevents 429 rate-limit errors when the gateway restarts
several times in quick succession.

* fix(telegram): scope command-sync hash cache by bot identity (#32059)

* fix: add sandbox browser defaults for container hardening

* docs: expand sandbox browser default flags list

* fix: make sandbox browser flags optional and preserve gateway env auth overrides

* docs: scope PR 31504 changelog entry

* style: format gateway call override handling

* fix: dedupe sandbox browser chrome args

* fix: preserve remote tls fingerprint for env gateway override

* fix: enforce auth for env gateway URL override

* chore: document gateway override auth security expectations

* fix(delivery): strip HTML tags for plain-text messaging surfaces

Models occasionally produce HTML tags in their output. While these render
fine on web surfaces, they appear as literal text on WhatsApp, Signal,
SMS, IRC, and Telegram.

Add sanitizeForPlainText() utility that converts common inline HTML to
lightweight-markup equivalents and strips remaining tags. Applied in the
outbound delivery pipeline for non-HTML surfaces only.

Closes #31884
See also: #18558

* fix(outbound): harden plain-text HTML sanitization paths (#32034)

* fix(security): harden file installs and race-path tests

* matrix: bootstrap crypto runtime when npm scripts are skipped

* fix(matrix): keep plugin register sync while bootstrapping crypto runtime (#31989)

* perf(runtime): reduce cron persistence and logger overhead

* test(perf): use prebuilt plugin install archive fixtures

* test(perf): increase guardrail scan read concurrency

* fix(queue): restart drain when message enqueued after idle window

After a drain loop empties the queue it deletes the key from
FOLLOWUP_QUEUES.  If a new message arrives at that moment
enqueueFollowupRun creates a fresh queue object with draining:false
but never starts a drain, leaving the message stranded until the
next run completes and calls finalizeWithFollowup.

Fix: persist the most recent runFollowup callback per queue key in
FOLLOWUP_RUN_CALLBACKS (drain.ts).  enqueueFollowupRun now calls
kickFollowupDrainIfIdle after a successful push; if a cached
callback exists and no drain is running it calls scheduleFollowupDrain
to restart immediately.  clearSessionQueues cleans up the callback
cache alongside the queue state.

* fix: avoid stale followup drain callbacks (#31902) (thanks @Lanfei)

* fix(synology-chat): read cfg from outbound context so incomingUrl resolves

* fix: require openclaw.extensions for plugin installs (#32055) (thanks @liuxiaopai-ai)

+## Plugin install fails with missing openclaw extensions
+
+If install fails with `package.json missing openclaw.extensions`, the plugin package
+is using an old shape that OpenClaw no longer accepts.
+
+Fix in the plugin package:
+
+1. Add `openclaw.extensions` to `package.json`.
+2. Point entries at built runtime files (usually `./dist/index.js`).
+3. Republish the plugin and run `openclaw plugins install <npm-spec>` again.
+
+Example:
+
+```json
+{
+  "name": "@openclaw/my-plugin",
+  "version": "1.2.3",
+  "openclaw": {
+    "extensions": ["./dist/index.js"]
+  }

 ### Fixes
 
+- Synology Chat/webhook ingress hardening: enforce bounded body reads (size + timeout) via shared request-body guards to prevent unauthenticated slow-body hangs before token validation. (#25831) Thanks @bmendonca3.
 - Auto-reply/followup queue: avoid stale callback reuse across idle-window restarts by caching the followup runner only when a drain actually starts, preserving enqueue ordering after empty-finalize paths. (#31902) Thanks @Lanfei.
 - Gateway/Heartbeat model reload: treat `models.*` and `agents.defaults.model` config updates as heartbeat hot-reload triggers so heartbeat picks up model changes without a full gateway restart. (#32046) Thanks @stakeswky.
 - Slack/inbound debounce routing: isolate top-level non-DM message debounce keys by message timestamp to avoid cross-thread collisions, preserve DM batching, and flush pending top-level buffers before immediate non-debounce follow-ups to keep ordering stable. (#31951) Thanks @scoootscooob.

 ### Fixes
 
+- Synology Chat/webhook compatibility: accept JSON and alias payload fields, allow token resolution from body/query/header sources, and ACK webhook requests with `204` to avoid persistent `Processing...` states in Synology Chat clients. (#26635) Thanks @memphislee09-source.
 - Synology Chat/webhook ingress hardening: enforce bounded body reads (size + timeout) via shared request-body guards to prevent unauthenticated slow-body hangs before token validation. (#25831) Thanks @bmendonca3.
 - Auto-reply/followup queue: avoid stale callback reuse across idle-window restarts by caching the followup runner only when a drain actually starts, preserving enqueue ordering after empty-finalize paths. (#31902) Thanks @Lanfei.
 - Gateway/Heartbeat model reload: treat `models.*` and `agents.defaults.model` config updates as heartbeat hot-reload triggers so heartbeat picks up model changes without a full gateway restart. (#32046) Thanks @stakeswky.

Subject: [PATCH 099/467] fix(synology-chat): resolve Chat API user_id for
 reply delivery (#23709)

* fix(synology-chat): resolve Chat API user_id for reply delivery

Synology Chat outgoing webhooks use a per-integration user_id that
differs from the global Chat API user_id required by method=chatbot.
This caused reply messages to fail silently when the IDs diverged.

Changes:
- Add fetchChatUsers() and resolveChatUserId() to resolve the correct
  Chat API user_id via the user_list endpoint (cached 5min)
- Use resolved user_id for all sendMessage() calls in webhook handler
  and channel dispatcher
- Add Provider field to MsgContext so the agent runner correctly
  identifies the message channel (was "unknown", now "synology-chat")
- Log warnings when user_list API fails or when falling back to
  unresolved webhook user_id
- Add 5 tests for user_id resolution (nickname, username, case,
  not-found, URL rewrite)

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>

* fix(synology-chat): use Readable stream in integration test for Windows compat

Replace EventEmitter + process.nextTick with Readable stream for
request body simulation. The process.nextTick approach caused the test
to hang on Windows CI (120s timeout) because events were not reliably
delivered to readBody() listeners.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>

* fix: harden synology reply user resolution and cache scope (#23709) (thanks @druide67)

Subject: [PATCH 100/467] fix(cron): suppress HEARTBEAT_OK summary from leaking
 into main session (#32013)

When an isolated cron agent returns HEARTBEAT_OK (nothing to announce),
the direct delivery is correctly skipped, but the fallback path in
timer.ts still enqueues the summary as a system event to the main
session. Filter out heartbeat-only summaries using isCronSystemEvent
before enqueuing, so internal ack tokens never reach user conversations.

Subject: [PATCH 104/467] fix(gateway): persist streamed text when webchat
 final event lacks message
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

When an agent streams text and then immediately runs tool calls, the
webchat UI drops the streamed content: the "final" event arrives with
message: undefined (buffer consumed by sub-run), and the client clears
chatStream without saving it to chatMessages.

Before clearing chatStream on a "final" event, check whether the stream
buffer has content. If no finalMessage was provided but the stream is
non-empty, synthesize an assistant message from the buffered text —
mirroring the existing "aborted" handler's preservation logic.

Closes #31895

 - Cron/HEARTBEAT_OK summary leak: suppress fallback main-session enqueue for heartbeat/internal ack summaries in isolated announce mode so `HEARTBEAT_OK` noise never appears in user chat while real summaries still forward. (#32093) Thanks @scoootscooob.
 - Sessions/lock recovery: reclaim orphan legacy same-PID lock files missing `starttime` when no in-process lock ownership exists, avoiding false lock timeouts after PID reuse while preserving active lock safety checks. (#32081) Thanks @bmendonca3.
 - Webchat/stream finalization: persist streamed assistant text when final events omit `message`, while keeping final payload precedence and skipping empty stream buffers to prevent disappearing replies after tool turns. (#31920) Thanks @Sid-Qin.
+- Cron/store migration: normalize legacy cron jobs with string `schedule` and top-level `command`/`timeout` fields into canonical schedule/payload/session-target shape on load, preventing schedule-error loops on old persisted stores. (#31926) Thanks @bmendonca3.
 - Gateway/Heartbeat model reload: treat `models.*` and `agents.defaults.model` config updates as heartbeat hot-reload triggers so heartbeat picks up model changes without a full gateway restart. (#32046) Thanks @stakeswky.
 - Slack/inbound debounce routing: isolate top-level non-DM message debounce keys by message timestamp to avoid cross-thread collisions, preserve DM batching, and flush pending top-level buffers before immediate non-debounce follow-ups to keep ordering stable. (#31951) Thanks @scoootscooob.
 - OpenRouter/x-ai compatibility: skip `reasoning.effort` injection for `x-ai/*` models (for example Grok) so OpenRouter requests no longer fail with invalid-arguments errors on unsupported reasoning params. (#32054) Thanks @scoootscooob.

Subject: [PATCH 118/467] fix(synology-chat): prevent restart loop in
 startAccount (#23074)
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

* fix(synology-chat): prevent restart loop in startAccount

startAccount must return a Promise that stays pending while the channel
is running. The gateway wraps the return value in Promise.resolve(), and
when it resolves, the gateway thinks the channel crashed and auto-restarts
with exponential backoff (5s → 10s → 20s..., up to 10 attempts).

Replace the synchronous { stop } return with a Promise<void> that resolves
only when ctx.abortSignal fires, keeping the channel alive until shutdown.

Tested on Synology DS923+ with DSM 7.2 — single startup, no restart loop.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>

* fix(synology-chat): add type guards for startAccount return value

startAccount returns `void | { stop: () => void }` — TypeScript requires
a type guard before accessing .stop on the union type. Added proper checks
in both integration and unit tests.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>

* fix(synology-chat): use Readable stream in integration test for Windows compat

Replace EventEmitter + process.nextTick with Readable stream for
request body simulation. The process.nextTick approach caused the test
to hang on Windows CI (120s timeout) because events were not reliably
delivered to readBody() listeners.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>

* fix: stabilize synology gateway account lifecycle (#23074) (thanks @druide67)

 - Synology Chat/webhook compatibility: accept JSON and alias payload fields, allow token resolution from body/query/header sources, and ACK webhook requests with `204` to avoid persistent `Processing...` states in Synology Chat clients. (#26635) Thanks @memphislee09-source.
 - Synology Chat/webhook ingress hardening: enforce bounded body reads (size + timeout) via shared request-body guards to prevent unauthenticated slow-body hangs before token validation. (#25831) Thanks @bmendonca3.
 - Synology Chat/reply delivery: resolve webhook usernames to Chat API `user_id` values for outbound chatbot replies, avoiding mismatches between webhook user IDs and `method=chatbot` recipient IDs in multi-account setups. (#23709) Thanks @druide67.
+- Synology Chat/gateway lifecycle: keep `startAccount` pending until abort for inactive and active account paths to prevent webhook route restart loops under gateway supervision. (#23074) Thanks @druide67.
 - Auto-reply/followup queue: avoid stale callback reuse across idle-window restarts by caching the followup runner only when a drain actually starts, preserving enqueue ordering after empty-finalize paths. (#31902) Thanks @Lanfei.
 - Cron/HEARTBEAT_OK summary leak: suppress fallback main-session enqueue for heartbeat/internal ack summaries in isolated announce mode so `HEARTBEAT_OK` noise never appears in user chat while real summaries still forward. (#32093) Thanks @scoootscooob.
 - Sessions/lock recovery: reclaim orphan legacy same-PID lock files missing `starttime` when no in-process lock ownership exists, avoiding false lock timeouts after PID reuse while preserving active lock safety checks. (#32081) Thanks @bmendonca3.

@@ -57,6 +57,7 @@ Docs: https://docs.openclaw.ai
 - Webchat/stream finalization: persist streamed assistant text when final events omit `message`, while keeping final payload precedence and skipping empty stream buffers to prevent disappearing replies after tool turns. (#31920) Thanks @Sid-Qin.
 - Cron/store migration: normalize legacy cron jobs with string `schedule` and top-level `command`/`timeout` fields into canonical schedule/payload/session-target shape on load, preventing schedule-error loops on old persisted stores. (#31926) Thanks @bmendonca3.
 - Gateway/Heartbeat model reload: treat `models.*` and `agents.defaults.model` config updates as heartbeat hot-reload triggers so heartbeat picks up model changes without a full gateway restart. (#32046) Thanks @stakeswky.
+- Gateway/Webchat NO_REPLY streaming: suppress assistant lead-fragment deltas that are prefixes of `NO_REPLY` and keep final-message buffering in sync, preventing partial `NO` leaks on silent-response runs while preserving legitimate short replies. (#32073) Thanks @liuxiaopai-ai.
 - Slack/inbound debounce routing: isolate top-level non-DM message debounce keys by message timestamp to avoid cross-thread collisions, preserve DM batching, and flush pending top-level buffers before immediate non-debounce follow-ups to keep ordering stable. (#31951) Thanks @scoootscooob.
 - OpenRouter/x-ai compatibility: skip `reasoning.effort` injection for `x-ai/*` models (for example Grok) so OpenRouter requests no longer fail with invalid-arguments errors on unsupported reasoning params. (#32054) Thanks @scoootscooob.
 - Tools/fsPolicy propagation: honor `tools.fs.workspaceOnly` for image/pdf local-root allowlists so non-sandbox media paths outside workspace are rejected when workspace-only mode is enabled. (#31882) Thanks @justinhuangcode.

Subject: [PATCH 127/467] fix: prevent reasoning text leak through
 handleMessageEnd fallback

When enforceFinalTag is active (Google providers), stripBlockTags
correctly returns empty for text without <final> tags. However, the
handleMessageEnd fallback recovered raw text, bypassing this protection
and leaking internal reasoning (e.g. "**Applying single-bot mention
rule**NO_REPLY") to Discord.

Guard the fallback with enforceFinalTag check: if the provider is
supposed to use <final> tags and none were seen, the text is treated
as leaked reasoning and suppressed.

Also harden stripSilentToken regex to allow bold markdown (**) as
separator before NO_REPLY, matching the pattern Gemini Flash Lite
produces.

Subject: [PATCH 130/467] fix(slack): apply mrkdwn conversion in streaming and
 preview paths

The native streaming path (chatStream) and preview final edit path
(chat.update) send raw Markdown text without converting to Slack
mrkdwn format. This causes **bold** to appear as literal asterisks
instead of rendered bold text.

Apply markdownToSlackMrkdwn() in streaming.ts (start/append/stop) and
in dispatch.ts (preview final edit via chat.update) to match the
non-streaming delivery path behavior.

Closes #31892

Subject: [PATCH 131/467] fix(discord): use per-channel message queues to
 restore parallel agent dispatch

Replace the single per-account messageQueue Promise chain in
DiscordMessageListener with per-channel queues. This restores parallel
processing for channel-bound agents that regressed in 2026.3.1.

Messages within the same channel remain serialized to preserve ordering,
while messages to different channels now proceed independently. Completed
queue entries are cleaned up to prevent memory accumulation.

Closes #31530

Subject: [PATCH 134/467] fix(telegram): preserve original filename from
 Telegram document/audio/video uploads

The downloadAndSaveTelegramFile inner function only used the server-side
file path (e.g. "documents/file_42.pdf") or the Content-Disposition
header (which Telegram doesn't send) to derive the saved filename.
The original filename provided by Telegram via msg.document.file_name,
msg.audio.file_name, msg.video.file_name, and msg.animation.file_name
was never passed through, causing all inbound files to lose their
user-provided names.

Now downloadAndSaveTelegramFile accepts an optional telegramFileName
parameter that takes priority over the fetched/server-side name.
The resolveMedia call site extracts the original name from the message
and passes it through.

Closes #31768

Subject: [PATCH 135/467] fix(tools): strip xAI-unsupported JSON Schema
 keywords from tool definitions

xAI rejects minLength, maxLength, minItems, maxItems, minContains, and
maxContains in tool schemas with a 502 error instead of ignoring them.
This causes all requests to fail when any tool definition includes these
validation-constraint keywords (e.g. sessions_spawn uses maxLength and
maxItems on its attachment fields).

Add stripXaiUnsupportedKeywords() in schema/clean-for-xai.ts, mirroring
the existing cleanSchemaForGemini() pattern. Apply it in normalizeToolParameters()
when the provider is xai directly, or openrouter with an x-ai/* model id.

Fixes tool calls for x-ai/grok-* models both direct and via OpenRouter.

@@ -54,6 +54,10 @@ Docs: https://docs.openclaw.ai
 - Auto-reply/followup queue: avoid stale callback reuse across idle-window restarts by caching the followup runner only when a drain actually starts, preserving enqueue ordering after empty-finalize paths. (#31902) Thanks @Lanfei.
 - Cron/HEARTBEAT_OK summary leak: suppress fallback main-session enqueue for heartbeat/internal ack summaries in isolated announce mode so `HEARTBEAT_OK` noise never appears in user chat while real summaries still forward. (#32093) Thanks @scoootscooob.
 - Sessions/lock recovery: reclaim orphan legacy same-PID lock files missing `starttime` when no in-process lock ownership exists, avoiding false lock timeouts after PID reuse while preserving active lock safety checks. (#32081) Thanks @bmendonca3.
+- Discord/dispatch + Slack formatting: restore parallel outbound dispatch across Discord channels with per-channel queues while preserving in-channel ordering, and run Slack preview/stream update text through mrkdwn normalization for consistent formatting. (#31927) Thanks @Sid-Qin.
+- Models/Codex usage labels: infer weekly secondary usage windows from reset cadence when API window seconds are ambiguously reported as 24h, so `openclaw models status` no longer mislabels weekly limits as daily. (#31938) Thanks @bmendonca3.
+- Telegram/inbound media filenames: preserve original `file_name` metadata for document/audio/video/animation downloads (with fetch/path fallbacks), so saved inbound attachments keep sender-provided names instead of opaque Telegram file paths. (#31837) Thanks @Kay-051.
+- Telegram/models picker callbacks: keep long model buttons selectable by falling back to compact callback payloads and resolving provider ids on selection (with provider re-prompt on ambiguity), avoiding Telegram 64-byte callback truncation failures. (#31857) Thanks @bmendonca3.
 - Webchat/stream finalization: persist streamed assistant text when final events omit `message`, while keeping final payload precedence and skipping empty stream buffers to prevent disappearing replies after tool turns. (#31920) Thanks @Sid-Qin.
 - Cron/store migration: normalize legacy cron jobs with string `schedule` and top-level `command`/`timeout` fields into canonical schedule/payload/session-target shape on load, preventing schedule-error loops on old persisted stores. (#31926) Thanks @bmendonca3.
 - Gateway/Heartbeat model reload: treat `models.*` and `agents.defaults.model` config updates as heartbeat hot-reload triggers so heartbeat picks up model changes without a full gateway restart. (#32046) Thanks @stakeswky.

Subject: [PATCH 140/467] fix(config): harden backup file permissions and clean
 orphan .bak files
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

Addresses #31699 — config .bak files persist with sensitive data.

Changes:
- Explicitly chmod 0o600 on all .bak files after creation, instead of
  relying on copyFile to preserve source permissions (not guaranteed on
  all platforms, e.g. Windows, NFS mounts).
- Clean up orphan .bak files that fall outside the managed 5-deep
  rotation ring (e.g. PID-stamped leftovers from interrupted writes,
  manual backups like .bak.before-marketing).
- Add tests for permission hardening and orphan cleanup.

The backup ring itself is preserved — it's a valuable recovery mechanism.
This PR hardens the security surface by ensuring backup files are
always owner-only and stale copies don't accumulate indefinitely.

@@ -58,6 +58,7 @@ Docs: https://docs.openclaw.ai
 - Models/Codex usage labels: infer weekly secondary usage windows from reset cadence when API window seconds are ambiguously reported as 24h, so `openclaw models status` no longer mislabels weekly limits as daily. (#31938) Thanks @bmendonca3.
 - Telegram/inbound media filenames: preserve original `file_name` metadata for document/audio/video/animation downloads (with fetch/path fallbacks), so saved inbound attachments keep sender-provided names instead of opaque Telegram file paths. (#31837) Thanks @Kay-051.
 - Telegram/models picker callbacks: keep long model buttons selectable by falling back to compact callback payloads and resolving provider ids on selection (with provider re-prompt on ambiguity), avoiding Telegram 64-byte callback truncation failures. (#31857) Thanks @bmendonca3.
+- Config/backups hardening: enforce owner-only (`0600`) permissions on rotated config backups and clean orphan `.bak.*` files outside the managed backup ring, reducing credential leakage risk from stale or permissive backup artifacts. (#31718) Thanks @YUJIE2002.
 - Webchat/stream finalization: persist streamed assistant text when final events omit `message`, while keeping final payload precedence and skipping empty stream buffers to prevent disappearing replies after tool turns. (#31920) Thanks @Sid-Qin.
 - Cron/store migration: normalize legacy cron jobs with string `schedule` and top-level `command`/`timeout` fields into canonical schedule/payload/session-target shape on load, preventing schedule-error loops on old persisted stores. (#31926) Thanks @bmendonca3.
 - Gateway/Heartbeat model reload: treat `models.*` and `agents.defaults.model` config updates as heartbeat hot-reload triggers so heartbeat picks up model changes without a full gateway restart. (#32046) Thanks @stakeswky.

Subject: [PATCH 146/467] fix(msteams): add proactive fallback for revoked turn
 context

Fixes #27189

When an inbound message is debounced, the Bot Framework turn context is
revoked before the debouncer flushes and the reply is dispatched. Any
attempt to use the revoked context proxy throws a TypeError, causing the
reply to fail silently.

This commit fixes the issue by adding a fallback to proactive messaging
when the turn context is revoked:

- `isRevokedProxyError()`: New error utility to reliably detect when a
  proxy has been revoked.

- `reply-dispatcher.ts`: `sendTypingIndicator` now catches revoked proxy
  errors and falls back to sending the typing indicator via
  `adapter.continueConversation`.

- `messenger.ts`: `sendMSTeamsMessages` now catches revoked proxy errors
  when `replyStyle` is `thread` and falls back to proactive messaging.

This ensures that replies are delivered reliably even when the inbound
message was debounced, resolving the core issue where the bot appeared
to ignore messages.

Subject: [PATCH 148/467] fix(plugins): fall back to bundled plugin when npm
 spec resolves to non-OpenClaw package (#32019)

When `openclaw plugins install diffs` downloads the unrelated npm
package `diffs@0.1.1` (which lacks `openclaw.extensions`), the install
fails without trying the bundled `@openclaw/diffs` plugin.

Two fixes:
1. Broaden the bundled-fallback trigger to also fire on
   "missing openclaw.extensions" errors (not just npm 404s)
2. Match bundled plugins by pluginId in addition to npmSpec so
   unscoped names like "diffs" resolve to `@openclaw/diffs`

Subject: [PATCH 149/467] fix: distinguish warning message for non-OpenClaw vs
 missing npm package

Address Greptile review: show "not a valid OpenClaw plugin" when the
npm package was found but lacks openclaw.extensions, instead of the
misleading "npm package unavailable" message.

@@ -75,6 +75,7 @@ Docs: https://docs.openclaw.ai
 - Slack/Bolt startup compatibility: remove invalid `message.channels` and `message.groups` event registrations so Slack providers no longer crash on startup with Bolt 4.6+; channel/group traffic continues through the unified `message` handler (`channel_type`). (#32033) Thanks @mahopan.
 - Telegram: guard duplicate-token checks and gateway startup token normalization when account tokens are missing, preventing `token.trim()` crashes during status/start flows. (#31973) Thanks @ningding97.
 - Plugins/install diagnostics: reject legacy plugin package shapes without `openclaw.extensions` and return an explicit upgrade hint with troubleshooting docs for repackaging. (#32055) Thanks @liuxiaopai-ai.
+- Plugins/install fallback safety: resolve bare install specs to bundled plugin ids before npm lookup (for example `diffs` -> bundled `@openclaw/diffs`), keep npm fallback limited to true package-not-found errors, and continue rejecting non-plugin npm packages that fail manifest validation. (#32096) Thanks @scoootscooob.
 - Skills/sherpa-onnx-tts: run the `sherpa-onnx-tts` bin under ESM (replace CommonJS `require` imports) and add regression coverage to prevent `require is not defined in ES module scope` startup crashes. (#31965) Thanks @bmendonca3.
 - Browser/default profile selection: default `browser.defaultProfile` behavior now prefers `openclaw` (managed standalone CDP) when no explicit default is configured, while still auto-provisioning the `chrome` relay profile for explicit opt-in use. (#32031) Fixes #31907. Thanks @liuxiaopai-ai.
 - Doctor/local memory provider checks: stop false-positive local-provider warnings when `provider=local` and no explicit `modelPath` is set by honoring default local model fallback while still warning when gateway probe reports local embeddings not ready. (#32014) Fixes #31998. Thanks @adhishthite.

Subject: [PATCH 157/467] fix(whatsapp): propagate fromMe through inbound
 message pipeline
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

The `fromMe` flag from Baileys' WAMessage.key was only used for
access-control filtering and then discarded.  This meant agents
could not distinguish owner-sent messages from contact messages
in DM conversations (everything appeared as from the contact).

Add `fromMe` to `WebInboundMessage`, store it during message
construction, and thread it through `buildInboundLine` →
`formatInboundEnvelope` so DM transcripts prefix owner messages
with `(self):`.

Closes #32061

+## Main DM route pinning
+
+When `session.dmScope` is `main`, direct messages may share one main session.
+To prevent the session’s `lastRoute` from being overwritten by non-owner DMs,
+OpenClaw infers a pinned owner from `allowFrom` when all of these are true:
+
+- `allowFrom` has exactly one non-wildcard entry.
+- The entry can be normalized to a concrete sender ID for that channel.
+- The inbound DM sender does not match that pinned owner.
+
+In that mismatch case, OpenClaw still records inbound session metadata, but it
+skips updating the main session `lastRoute`.
+
 ## Routing rules (how an agent is chosen)
 
 Routing picks **one agent** for each inbound message:

Subject: [PATCH 160/467] fix(gateway): hot-reload channelHealthCheckMinutes
 without full restart
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

The health monitor was created once at startup and never touched by
applyHotReload(), so changing channelHealthCheckMinutes only took
effect after a full gateway restart.

Wire up a "restart-health-monitor" reload action so hot-reload can
stop the old monitor and (re)create one with the updated interval —
or disable it entirely when set to 0.

Closes #32105

+## Summary
+
+Add an OpenAI OAuth TLS preflight to detect local certificate-chain problems early and provide actionable remediation, instead of surfacing only `TypeError: fetch failed`.
+
+### Changes
+
+- Add `runOpenAIOAuthTlsPreflight()` and remediation formatter in `src/commands/oauth-tls-preflight.ts`.
+- Run TLS preflight before `loginOpenAICodex()` in `src/commands/openai-codex-oauth.ts`.
+- Add doctor check via `noteOpenAIOAuthTlsPrerequisites()` in `src/commands/doctor.ts`.
+- Keep doctor fast-path tests deterministic by mocking preflight in `src/commands/doctor.fast-path-mocks.ts`.
+
+### User-visible behavior
+
+- During OpenAI Codex OAuth, TLS trust failures now produce actionable guidance, including:
+  - `brew postinstall ca-certificates`
+  - `brew postinstall openssl@3`
+  - expected cert bundle location when Homebrew prefix is detectable.
+- `openclaw doctor` now reports an `OAuth TLS prerequisites` warning when TLS trust is broken for OpenAI auth calls.
+
+## Why
+
+On some Homebrew Node/OpenSSL setups, missing or broken cert bundle links cause OAuth failures like:
+
+- `OpenAI OAuth failed`
+- `TypeError: fetch failed`
+- `UNABLE_TO_GET_ISSUER_CERT_LOCALLY`
+
+This change turns that failure mode into an explicit prerequisite check with concrete fixes.
+
+## Tests
+
+Ran:
+
+```bash
+corepack pnpm vitest run \
+  src/commands/openai-codex-oauth.test.ts \
+  src/commands/oauth-tls-preflight.test.ts \
+  src/commands/oauth-tls-preflight.doctor.test.ts
+```
+
+All passed.

-- During OpenAI Codex OAuth, TLS trust failures now produce actionable guidance, including:
-  - `brew postinstall ca-certificates`
-  - `brew postinstall openssl@3`
-  - expected cert bundle location when Homebrew prefix is detectable.
-- `openclaw doctor` now reports an `OAuth TLS prerequisites` warning when TLS trust is broken for OpenAI auth calls.
-
-## Why
-
-On some Homebrew Node/OpenSSL setups, missing or broken cert bundle links cause OAuth failures like:
-
-- `OpenAI OAuth failed`
-- `TypeError: fetch failed`
-- `UNABLE_TO_GET_ISSUER_CERT_LOCALLY`
-
-This change turns that failure mode into an explicit prerequisite check with concrete fixes.
-
-## Tests
-
-Ran:
-
-```bash
-corepack pnpm vitest run \
-  src/commands/openai-codex-oauth.test.ts \
-  src/commands/oauth-tls-preflight.test.ts \
-  src/commands/oauth-tls-preflight.doctor.test.ts
-```
-
-All passed.

Subject: [PATCH 167/467] fix(agents): clear pending tool call state on
 interruption regardless of provider

When `allowSyntheticToolResults` is false (OpenAI, OpenRouter, and most
third-party providers), the guard never cleared its pending tool call map
when a user message arrived during in-flight tool execution. This left
orphaned tool_use blocks in the transcript with no matching tool_result,
causing the provider API to reject all subsequent requests with 400 errors
and permanently breaking the session.

The fix removes the `allowSyntheticToolResults` gate around the flush
calls. `flushPendingToolResults()` already handles both cases correctly:
it only inserts synthetic results when allowed, and always clears the
pending map. The gate was preventing the map from being cleared at all
for providers that disable synthetic results.

Fixes #32098

Subject: [PATCH 169/467] fix(slack): reduce token bloat by skipping thread
 context on existing sessions

Thread history and thread starter were being fetched and included on
every message in a Slack thread, causing unnecessary token bloat. The
session transcript already contains the full conversation history, so
re-fetching and re-injecting thread history on each turn is redundant.

Now thread history is only fetched for new thread sessions
(!threadSessionPreviousTimestamp). Existing sessions rely on their
transcript for context.

Fixes #32121

 - WhatsApp/inbound self-message context: propagate inbound `fromMe` through the web inbox pipeline and annotate direct self messages as `(self)` in envelopes so agents can distinguish owner-authored turns from contact turns. (#32167) Thanks @scoootscooob.
 - Exec approvals/allowlist matching: escape regex metacharacters in path-pattern literals (while preserving glob wildcards), preventing crashes on allowlisted executables like `/usr/bin/g++` and correctly matching mixed wildcard/literal token paths. (#32162) Thanks @stakeswky.
 - Agents/tool-result guard: always clear pending tool-call state on interruptions even when synthetic tool results are disabled, preventing orphaned tool-use transcripts that cause follow-up provider request failures. (#32120) Thanks @jnMetaCode.
+- Slack/thread context payloads: only inject thread starter/history text on first thread turn for new sessions while preserving thread metadata, reducing repeated context-token bloat on long-lived thread sessions. (#32133) Thanks @sourman.
 - Webchat/stream finalization: persist streamed assistant text when final events omit `message`, while keeping final payload precedence and skipping empty stream buffers to prevent disappearing replies after tool turns. (#31920) Thanks @Sid-Qin.
 - Cron/store migration: normalize legacy cron jobs with string `schedule` and top-level `command`/`timeout` fields into canonical schedule/payload/session-target shape on load, preventing schedule-error loops on old persisted stores. (#31926) Thanks @bmendonca3.
 - Gateway/Heartbeat model reload: treat `models.*` and `agents.defaults.model` config updates as heartbeat hot-reload triggers so heartbeat picks up model changes without a full gateway restart. (#32046) Thanks @stakeswky.

Subject: [PATCH 179/467] fix: add "audio" to openai provider capabilities

The openai provider implements transcribeAudio via
transcribeOpenAiCompatibleAudio (Whisper API), but its capabilities
array only declared ["image"]. This caused the media-understanding
runner to skip the openai provider when processing inbound audio
messages, resulting in raw audio files being passed to agents
instead of transcribed text.

Fix: Add "audio" to the capabilities array so the runner correctly
selects the openai provider for audio transcription.

Subject: [PATCH 182/467] refactor: extract shared proxy-fetch utility from
 Telegram module

Move makeProxyFetch to src/infra/net/proxy-fetch.ts and add
resolveProxyFetchFromEnv which reads standard proxy env vars
(HTTPS_PROXY, HTTP_PROXY, and lowercase variants) and returns a
proxy-aware fetch via undici's EnvHttpProxyAgent. Telegram re-exports
from the shared location to avoid duplication.

Subject: [PATCH 183/467] fix: pass proxy-aware fetchFn to media understanding
 providers

runProviderEntry now calls resolveProxyFetchFromEnv() and passes the
result as fetchFn to transcribeAudio/describeVideo, so media provider
API calls respect HTTPS_PROXY/HTTP_PROXY behind corporate proxies.

 ### Changes
 
 - Outbound adapters/plugins: add shared `sendPayload` support across direct-text-media, Discord, Slack, WhatsApp, Zalo, and Zalouser with multi-media iteration and chunk-aware text fallback. (#30144) Thanks @nohat.
-- Zalo Personal plugin (`@openclaw/zalouser`): rebuilt channel runtime to use native `zca-js` integration in-process, removing external CLI transport usage and keeping QR/login + send/listen flows fully inside OpenClaw.
-- CLI/Config validation: add `openclaw config validate` (with `--json`) to validate config files before gateway startup, and include detailed invalid-key paths in startup invalid-config errors. (#31220) thanks @Sid-Qin.
 - Sessions/Attachments: add inline file attachment support for `sessions_spawn` (subagent runtime only) with base64/utf8 encoding, transcript content redaction, lifecycle cleanup, and configurable limits via `tools.sessions_spawn.attachments`. (#16761) Thanks @napetrov.
-- Agents/Thinking defaults: set `adaptive` as the default thinking level for Anthropic Claude 4.6 models (including Bedrock Claude 4.6 refs) while keeping other reasoning-capable models at `low` unless explicitly configured.
 - Tools/PDF analysis: add a first-class `pdf` tool with native Anthropic and Google PDF provider support, extraction fallback for non-native models, configurable defaults (`agents.defaults.pdfModel`, `pdfMaxBytesMb`, `pdfMaxPages`), and docs/tests covering routing, validation, and registration. (#31319) Thanks @tyler6204.
-- Gateway/Container probes: add built-in HTTP liveness/readiness endpoints (`/health`, `/healthz`, `/ready`, `/readyz`) for Docker/Kubernetes health checks, with fallback routing so existing handlers on those paths are not shadowed. (#31272) Thanks @vincentkoc.
-- README/Contributors: rank contributor avatars by composite score (commits + merged PRs + code LOC), excluding docs-only LOC to prevent bulk-generated files from inflating rankings. (#23970) Thanks @tyler6204.
-- Android/Nodes: add `camera.list`, `device.permissions`, `device.health`, and `notifications.actions` (`open`/`dismiss`/`reply`) on Android nodes, plus first-class node-tool actions for the new device/notification commands. (#28260) Thanks @obviyus.
-- Discord/Thread bindings: replace fixed TTL lifecycle with inactivity (`idleHours`, default 24h) plus optional hard `maxAgeHours` lifecycle controls, and add `/session idle` + `/session max-age` commands for focused thread-bound sessions. (#27845) Thanks @osolmaz.
-- Telegram/DM topics: add per-DM `direct` + topic config (allowlists, `dmPolicy`, `skills`, `systemPrompt`, `requireTopic`), route DM topics as distinct inbound/outbound sessions, and enforce topic-aware authorization/debounce for messages, callbacks, commands, and reactions. Landed from contributor PR #30579 by @kesor. Thanks @kesor.
+- Zalo Personal plugin (`@openclaw/zalouser`): rebuilt channel runtime to use native `zca-js` integration in-process, removing external CLI transport usage and keeping QR/login + send/listen flows fully inside OpenClaw.
 - Telegram/DM streaming: use `sendMessageDraft` for private preview streaming, keep reasoning/answer preview lanes separated in DM reasoning-stream mode. (#31824) Thanks @obviyus.
-- Web UI/Cron i18n: localize cron page labels, filters, form help text, and validation/error messaging in English and zh-CN. (#29315) Thanks @BUGKillerKing.
-- OpenAI/Streaming transport: make `openai` Responses WebSocket-first by default (`transport: "auto"` with SSE fallback), add shared OpenAI WS stream/connection runtime wiring with per-session cleanup, and preserve server-side compaction payload mutation (`store` + `context_management`) on the WS path.
-- Android/Gateway capability refresh: add live Android capability integration coverage and node canvas capability refresh wiring, plus runtime hardening for A2UI readiness retries, scoped canvas URL normalization, debug diagnostics JSON, and JavaScript MIME delivery. (#28388) Thanks @obviyus.
-- Android/Nodes parity: add `system.notify`, `photos.latest`, `contacts.search`/`contacts.add`, `calendar.events`/`calendar.add`, and `motion.activity`/`motion.pedometer`, with motion sensor-aware command gating and improved activity sampling reliability. (#29398) Thanks @obviyus.
-- CLI/Config: add `openclaw config file` to print the active config file path resolved from `OPENCLAW_CONFIG_PATH` or the default location. (#26256) thanks @cyb1278588254.
-- Feishu/Docx tables + uploads: add `feishu_doc` actions for Docx table creation/cell writing (`create_table`, `write_table_cells`, `create_table_with_values`) and image/file uploads (`upload_image`, `upload_file`) with stricter create/upload error handling for missing `document_id` and placeholder cleanup failures. (#20304) Thanks @xuhao1.
-- Feishu/Reactions: add inbound `im.message.reaction.created_v1` handling, route verified reactions through synthetic inbound turns, and harden verification with timeout + fail-closed filtering so non-bot or unverified reactions are dropped. (#16716) Thanks @schumilin.
-- Feishu/Chat tooling: add `feishu_chat` tool actions for chat info and member queries, with configurable enablement under `channels.feishu.tools.chat`. (#14674) Thanks @liuweifly.
-- Feishu/Doc permissions: support optional owner permission grant fields on `feishu_doc` create and report permission metadata only when the grant call succeeds, with regression coverage for success/failure/omitted-owner paths. (#28295) Thanks @zhoulongchao77.
-- Web UI/i18n: add German (`de`) locale support and auto-render language options from supported locale constants in Overview settings. (#28495) thanks @dsantoreis.
-- Tools/Diffs: add a new optional `diffs` plugin tool for read-only diff rendering from before/after text or unified patches, with gateway viewer URLs for canvas and PNG image output. Thanks @gumadeiras.
+- CLI/Config validation: add `openclaw config validate` (with `--json`) to validate config files before gateway startup, and include detailed invalid-key paths in startup invalid-config errors. (#31220) thanks @Sid-Qin.
 - Tools/Diffs: add PDF file output support and rendering quality customization controls (`fileQuality`, `fileScale`, `fileMaxWidth`) for generated diff artifacts, and document PDF as the preferred option when messaging channels compress images. (#31342) Thanks @gumadeiras.
-- Memory/LanceDB: support custom OpenAI `baseUrl` and embedding dimensions for LanceDB memory. (#17874) Thanks @rish2jain and @vincentkoc.
-- ACP/ACPX streaming: pin ACPX plugin support to `0.1.15`, add configurable ACPX command/version probing, and streamline ACP stream delivery (`final_only` default + reduced tool-event noise) with matching runtime and test updates. (#30036) Thanks @osolmaz.
-- Shell env markers: set `OPENCLAW_SHELL` across shell-like runtimes (`exec`, `acp`, `acp-client`, `tui-local`) so shell startup/config rules can target OpenClaw contexts consistently, and document the markers in env/exec/acp/TUI docs. Thanks @vincentkoc.
-- Cron/Heartbeat light bootstrap context: add opt-in lightweight bootstrap mode for automation runs (`--light-context` for cron agent turns and `agents.*.heartbeat.lightContext` for heartbeat), keeping only `HEARTBEAT.md` for heartbeat runs and skipping bootstrap-file injection for cron lightweight runs. (#26064) Thanks @jose-velez.
-- OpenAI/WebSocket warm-up: add optional OpenAI Responses WebSocket warm-up (`response.create` with `generate:false`), enable it by default for `openai/*`, and expose `params.openaiWsWarmup` for per-model enable/disable control.
-- Agents/Subagents runtime events: replace ad-hoc subagent completion system-message handoff with typed internal completion events (`task_completion`) that are rendered consistently across direct and queued announce paths, with gateway/CLI plumbing for structured `internalEvents`.
+- README/Contributors: rank contributor avatars by composite score (commits + merged PRs + code LOC), excluding docs-only LOC to prevent bulk-generated files from inflating rankings. (#23970) Thanks @tyler6204.
 
 ### Breaking
 
+- **BREAKING:** Plugin SDK removed `api.registerHttpHandler(...)`. Plugins must register explicit HTTP routes via `api.registerHttpRoute({ path, auth, match, handler })`, and dynamic webhook lifecycles should use `registerPluginHttpRoute(...)`.
 - **BREAKING:** Zalo Personal plugin (`@openclaw/zalouser`) no longer depends on external `zca`-compatible CLI binaries (`openzca`, `zca-cli`) for runtime send/listen/login; operators should use `openclaw channels login --channel zalouser` after upgrade to refresh sessions in the new JS-native path.
 - **BREAKING:** Onboarding now defaults `tools.profile` to `messaging` for new local installs (interactive + non-interactive). New setups no longer start with broad coding/system tools unless explicitly configured.
-- **BREAKING:** Node exec approval payloads now require `systemRunPlan`. `host=node` approval requests without that plan are rejected.
-- **BREAKING:** Node `system.run` execution now pins path-token commands to the canonical executable path (`realpath`) in both allowlist and approval execution flows. Integrations/tests that asserted token-form argv (for example `tr`) must now accept canonical paths (for example `/usr/bin/tr`).
-- **BREAKING:** Plugin SDK removed `api.registerHttpHandler(...)`. Plugins must register explicit HTTP routes via `api.registerHttpRoute({ path, auth, match, handler })`, and dynamic webhook lifecycles should use `registerPluginHttpRoute(...)`.
 
 ### Fixes
 
-- Synology Chat/webhook compatibility: accept JSON and alias payload fields, allow token resolution from body/query/header sources, and ACK webhook requests with `204` to avoid persistent `Processing...` states in Synology Chat clients. (#26635) Thanks @memphislee09-source.
-- OpenAI Codex OAuth/TLS prerequisites: add an OAuth TLS cert-chain preflight with actionable remediation for cert trust failures, and gate doctor TLS prerequisite probing to OpenAI Codex OAuth-configured installs (or explicit `doctor --deep`) to avoid unconditional outbound probe latency. (#32051) Thanks @alexfilatov.
-- Synology Chat/webhook ingress hardening: enforce bounded body reads (size + timeout) via shared request-body guards to prevent unauthenticated slow-body hangs before token validation. (#25831) Thanks @bmendonca3.
-- Synology Chat/reply delivery: resolve webhook usernames to Chat API `user_id` values for outbound chatbot replies, avoiding mismatches between webhook user IDs and `method=chatbot` recipient IDs in multi-account setups. (#23709) Thanks @druide67.
-- Synology Chat/gateway lifecycle: keep `startAccount` pending until abort for inactive and active account paths to prevent webhook route restart loops under gateway supervision. (#23074) Thanks @druide67.
+- macOS/LaunchAgent security defaults: write `Umask=63` (octal `077`) into generated gateway launchd plists so post-update service reinstalls keep owner-only file permissions by default instead of falling back to system `022`. (#32022) Fixes #31905. Thanks @liuxiaopai-ai.
+- Security/Node exec approvals: preserve shell/dispatch-wrapper argv semantics during approval hardening so approved wrapper commands (for example `env sh -c ...`) cannot drift into a different runtime command shape, and add regression coverage for both approval-plan generation and approved runtime execution paths. Thanks @tdjackey for reporting.
+- Browser/Security output boundary hardening: replace check-then-rename output commits with root-bound fd-verified writes, unify install/skills canonical path-boundary checks, and add regression coverage for symlink-rebind race paths across browser output and shared fs-safe write flows. Thanks @tdjackey for reporting.
+- Security/Webhook request hardening: enforce auth-before-body parsing for BlueBubbles and Google Chat webhook handlers, add strict pre-auth body/time budgets for webhook auth paths (including LINE signature verification), and add shared in-flight/request guardrails plus regression tests/lint checks to prevent reintroducing unauthenticated slow-body DoS patterns. Thanks @GCXWLP for reporting.
+- Gateway/Security hardening: tie loopback-origin dev allowance to actual local socket clients (not Host header claims), add explicit warnings/metrics when `gateway.controlUi.dangerouslyAllowHostHeaderOriginFallback` accepts websocket origins, harden safe-regex detection for quantified ambiguous alternation patterns (for example `(a|aa)+`), and bound large regex-evaluation inputs for session-filter and log-redaction paths.
+- Security/Skills archive extraction: unify tar extraction safety checks across tar.gz and tar.bz2 install flows, enforce tar compressed-size limits, and fail closed if tar.bz2 archives change between preflight and extraction to prevent bypasses of entry-type/size guardrails. Thanks @GCXWLP for reporting.
+- Security/Web tools SSRF guard: keep DNS pinning for untrusted `web_fetch` and citation-redirect URL checks when proxy env vars are set, and require explicit dangerous opt-in before env-proxy routing can bypass pinned dispatch for trusted/operator-controlled endpoints. Thanks @tdjackey for reporting.
+- Gateway/Security canonicalization hardening: decode plugin route path variants to canonical fixpoint (with bounded depth), fail closed on canonicalization anomalies, and enforce gateway auth for deeply encoded `/api/channels/*` variants to prevent alternate-path auth bypass through plugin handlers. Thanks @tdjackey for reporting.
+- Security/Prompt spoofing hardening: stop injecting queued runtime events into user-role prompt text, route them through trusted system-prompt context, and neutralize inbound spoof markers like `[System Message]` and line-leading `System:` in untrusted message content. (#30448)
 - Auto-reply/followup queue: avoid stale callback reuse across idle-window restarts by caching the followup runner only when a drain actually starts, preserving enqueue ordering after empty-finalize paths. (#31902) Thanks @Lanfei.
 - Cron/HEARTBEAT_OK summary leak: suppress fallback main-session enqueue for heartbeat/internal ack summaries in isolated announce mode so `HEARTBEAT_OK` noise never appears in user chat while real summaries still forward. (#32093) Thanks @scoootscooob.
 - Sessions/lock recovery: reclaim orphan legacy same-PID lock files missing `starttime` when no in-process lock ownership exists, avoiding false lock timeouts after PID reuse while preserving active lock safety checks. (#32081) Thanks @bmendonca3.
-- Discord/dispatch + Slack formatting: restore parallel outbound dispatch across Discord channels with per-channel queues while preserving in-channel ordering, and run Slack preview/stream update text through mrkdwn normalization for consistent formatting. (#31927) Thanks @Sid-Qin.
 - Models/Codex usage labels: infer weekly secondary usage windows from reset cadence when API window seconds are ambiguously reported as 24h, so `openclaw models status` no longer mislabels weekly limits as daily. (#31938) Thanks @bmendonca3.
-- Telegram/inbound media filenames: preserve original `file_name` metadata for document/audio/video/animation downloads (with fetch/path fallbacks), so saved inbound attachments keep sender-provided names instead of opaque Telegram file paths. (#31837) Thanks @Kay-051.
-- Telegram/models picker callbacks: keep long model buttons selectable by falling back to compact callback payloads and resolving provider ids on selection (with provider re-prompt on ambiguity), avoiding Telegram 64-byte callback truncation failures. (#31857) Thanks @bmendonca3.
 - Config/backups hardening: enforce owner-only (`0600`) permissions on rotated config backups and clean orphan `.bak.*` files outside the managed backup ring, reducing credential leakage risk from stale or permissive backup artifacts. (#31718) Thanks @YUJIE2002.
-- WhatsApp/inbound self-message context: propagate inbound `fromMe` through the web inbox pipeline and annotate direct self messages as `(self)` in envelopes so agents can distinguish owner-authored turns from contact turns. (#32167) Thanks @scoootscooob.
 - Exec approvals/allowlist matching: escape regex metacharacters in path-pattern literals (while preserving glob wildcards), preventing crashes on allowlisted executables like `/usr/bin/g++` and correctly matching mixed wildcard/literal token paths. (#32162) Thanks @stakeswky.
 - Agents/tool-result guard: always clear pending tool-call state on interruptions even when synthetic tool results are disabled, preventing orphaned tool-use transcripts that cause follow-up provider request failures. (#32120) Thanks @jnMetaCode.
-- Slack/thread context payloads: only inject thread starter/history text on first thread turn for new sessions while preserving thread metadata, reducing repeated context-token bloat on long-lived thread sessions. (#32133) Thanks @sourman.
 - Webchat/stream finalization: persist streamed assistant text when final events omit `message`, while keeping final payload precedence and skipping empty stream buffers to prevent disappearing replies after tool turns. (#31920) Thanks @Sid-Qin.
 - Cron/store migration: normalize legacy cron jobs with string `schedule` and top-level `command`/`timeout` fields into canonical schedule/payload/session-target shape on load, preventing schedule-error loops on old persisted stores. (#31926) Thanks @bmendonca3.
 - Gateway/Heartbeat model reload: treat `models.*` and `agents.defaults.model` config updates as heartbeat hot-reload triggers so heartbeat picks up model changes without a full gateway restart. (#32046) Thanks @stakeswky.
 - Gateway/Webchat NO_REPLY streaming: suppress assistant lead-fragment deltas that are prefixes of `NO_REPLY` and keep final-message buffering in sync, preventing partial `NO` leaks on silent-response runs while preserving legitimate short replies. (#32073) Thanks @liuxiaopai-ai.
-- Slack/inbound debounce routing: isolate top-level non-DM message debounce keys by message timestamp to avoid cross-thread collisions, preserve DM batching, and flush pending top-level buffers before immediate non-debounce follow-ups to keep ordering stable. (#31951) Thanks @scoootscooob.
-- OpenRouter/x-ai compatibility: skip `reasoning.effort` injection for `x-ai/*` models (for example Grok) so OpenRouter requests no longer fail with invalid-arguments errors on unsupported reasoning params. (#32054) Thanks @scoootscooob.
 - Tools/fsPolicy propagation: honor `tools.fs.workspaceOnly` for image/pdf local-root allowlists so non-sandbox media paths outside workspace are rejected when workspace-only mode is enabled. (#31882) Thanks @justinhuangcode.
 - Memory/LanceDB embeddings: forward configured `embedding.dimensions` into OpenAI embeddings requests so vector size and API output dimensions stay aligned when dimensions are explicitly configured. (#32036) Thanks @scotthuang.
-- Mentions/Slack formatting hardening: add null-safe guards for runtime text normalization paths so malformed/undefined text payloads do not crash mention stripping or mrkdwn conversion. (#31865) Thanks @stone-jin.
 - Failover/error classification: treat HTTP `529` (provider overloaded, common with Anthropic-compatible APIs) as `rate_limit` so model failover can engage instead of misclassifying the error path. (#31854) Thanks @bugkill3r.
-- Voice-call/webhook routing: require exact webhook path matches (instead of prefix matches) so lookalike paths cannot reach provider verification/dispatch logic. (#31930) Thanks @afurm.
 - Plugin command/runtime hardening: validate and normalize plugin command name/description at registration boundaries, and guard Telegram native menu normalization paths so malformed plugin command specs cannot crash startup (`trim` on undefined). (#31997) Fixes #31944. Thanks @liuxiaopai-ai.
 - Web UI/config form: support SecretInput string-or-secret-ref unions in map `additionalProperties`, so provider API key fields stay editable instead of being marked unsupported. (#31866) Thanks @ningding97.
-- Slack/Bolt startup compatibility: remove invalid `message.channels` and `message.groups` event registrations so Slack providers no longer crash on startup with Bolt 4.6+; channel/group traffic continues through the unified `message` handler (`channel_type`). (#32033) Thanks @mahopan.
-- Telegram: guard duplicate-token checks and gateway startup token normalization when account tokens are missing, preventing `token.trim()` crashes during status/start flows. (#31973) Thanks @ningding97.
 - Plugins/install diagnostics: reject legacy plugin package shapes without `openclaw.extensions` and return an explicit upgrade hint with troubleshooting docs for repackaging. (#32055) Thanks @liuxiaopai-ai.
 - Plugins/install fallback safety: resolve bare install specs to bundled plugin ids before npm lookup (for example `diffs` -> bundled `@openclaw/diffs`), keep npm fallback limited to true package-not-found errors, and continue rejecting non-plugin npm packages that fail manifest validation. (#32096) Thanks @scoootscooob.
-- Skills/sherpa-onnx-tts: run the `sherpa-onnx-tts` bin under ESM (replace CommonJS `require` imports) and add regression coverage to prevent `require is not defined in ES module scope` startup crashes. (#31965) Thanks @bmendonca3.
 - Browser/default profile selection: default `browser.defaultProfile` behavior now prefers `openclaw` (managed standalone CDP) when no explicit default is configured, while still auto-provisioning the `chrome` relay profile for explicit opt-in use. (#32031) Fixes #31907. Thanks @liuxiaopai-ai.
 - Doctor/local memory provider checks: stop false-positive local-provider warnings when `provider=local` and no explicit `modelPath` is set by honoring default local model fallback while still warning when gateway probe reports local embeddings not ready. (#32014) Fixes #31998. Thanks @adhishthite.
-- Feishu/Run channel fallback: prefer `Provider` over `Surface` when inferring queued run `messageProvider` fallback (when `OriginatingChannel` is missing), preventing Feishu turns from being mislabeled as `webchat` in mixed relay metadata contexts. (#31880) Fixes #31859. Thanks @liuxiaopai-ai.
 - Cron/session reaper reliability: move cron session reaper sweeps into `onTimer` `finally` and keep pruning active even when timer ticks fail early (for example cron store parse failures), preventing stale isolated run sessions from accumulating indefinitely. (#31996) Fixes #31946. Thanks @scoootscooob.
 - Inbound metadata/direct relay context: restore direct-channel conversation metadata blocks for external channels (for example WhatsApp) while preserving webchat-direct suppression, so relay agents recover sender/message identifiers without reintroducing internal webchat metadata noise. (#31969) Fixes #29972. Thanks @Lucenx9.
 - Sandbox/Docker setup command parsing: accept `agents.*.sandbox.docker.setupCommand` as either a string or a string array, and normalize arrays to newline-delimited shell scripts so multi-step setup commands no longer concatenate without separators. (#31953) Thanks @liuxiaopai-ai.
 - Gateway/Plugin HTTP route precedence: run explicit plugin HTTP routes before the Control UI SPA catch-all so registered plugin webhook/custom paths remain reachable, while unmatched paths still fall through to Control UI handling. (#31885) Thanks @Sid-Qin.
-- macOS/LaunchAgent security defaults: write `Umask=63` (octal `077`) into generated gateway launchd plists so post-update service reinstalls keep owner-only file permissions by default instead of falling back to system `022`. (#32022) Fixes #31905. Thanks @liuxiaopai-ai.
-- Security/Node exec approvals: preserve shell/dispatch-wrapper argv semantics during approval hardening so approved wrapper commands (for example `env sh -c ...`) cannot drift into a different runtime command shape, and add regression coverage for both approval-plan generation and approved runtime execution paths. Thanks @tdjackey for reporting.
 - Sandbox/Bootstrap context boundary hardening: reject symlink/hardlink alias bootstrap seed files that resolve outside the source workspace and switch post-compaction `AGENTS.md` context reads to boundary-verified file opens, preventing host file content from being injected via workspace aliasing. Thanks @tdjackey for reporting.
-- Browser/Security output boundary hardening: replace check-then-rename output commits with root-bound fd-verified writes, unify install/skills canonical path-boundary checks, and add regression coverage for symlink-rebind race paths across browser output and shared fs-safe write flows. Thanks @tdjackey for reporting.
-- Security/Webhook request hardening: enforce auth-before-body parsing for BlueBubbles and Google Chat webhook handlers, add strict pre-auth body/time budgets for webhook auth paths (including LINE signature verification), and add shared in-flight/request guardrails plus regression tests/lint checks to prevent reintroducing unauthenticated slow-body DoS patterns. Thanks @GCXWLP for reporting.
-- Gateway/Security hardening: tie loopback-origin dev allowance to actual local socket clients (not Host header claims), add explicit warnings/metrics when `gateway.controlUi.dangerouslyAllowHostHeaderOriginFallback` accepts websocket origins, harden safe-regex detection for quantified ambiguous alternation patterns (for example `(a|aa)+`), and bound large regex-evaluation inputs for session-filter and log-redaction paths.
-- Tests/Sandbox + archive portability: use junction-compatible directory-link setup on Windows and explicit file-symlink platform guards in symlink escape tests where unprivileged file symlinks are unavailable, reducing false Windows CI failures while preserving traversal checks on supported paths. (#28747) Thanks @arosstale.
-- Security/Skills archive extraction: unify tar extraction safety checks across tar.gz and tar.bz2 install flows, enforce tar compressed-size limits, and fail closed if tar.bz2 archives change between preflight and extraction to prevent bypasses of entry-type/size guardrails. Thanks @GCXWLP for reporting.
-- Tests/Subagent announce: set `OPENCLAW_TEST_FAST=1` before importing `subagent-announce` format suites so module-level fast-mode constants are captured deterministically on Windows CI, preventing timeout flakes in nested completion announce coverage. (#31370) Thanks @zwffff.
 - Gateway/Node dangerous-command parity: include `sms.send` in default onboarding node `denyCommands`, share onboarding deny defaults with the gateway dangerous-command source of truth, and include `sms.send` in phone-control `/phone arm writes` handling so SMS follows the same break-glass flow as other dangerous node commands. Thanks @zpbrent.
-- Zalo/Pairing auth tests: add webhook regression coverage asserting DM pairing-store reads/writes remain account-scoped, preventing cross-account authorization bleed in multi-account setups. (#26121) Thanks @bmendonca3.
 - Logging: use local time for logged timestamps instead of UTC, aligning log output with documented local timezone behavior and avoiding confusion during local diagnostics. (#28434) Thanks @liuy.
-- Zalouser/Pairing auth tests: add account-scoped DM pairing-store regression coverage (`monitor.account-scope.test.ts`) to prevent cross-account allowlist bleed in multi-account setups. (#26672) Thanks @bmendonca3.
-- Security/Web tools SSRF guard: keep DNS pinning for untrusted `web_fetch` and citation-redirect URL checks when proxy env vars are set, and require explicit dangerous opt-in before env-proxy routing can bypass pinned dispatch for trusted/operator-controlled endpoints. Thanks @tdjackey for reporting.
-- Gateway/Security canonicalization hardening: decode plugin route path variants to canonical fixpoint (with bounded depth), fail closed on canonicalization anomalies, and enforce gateway auth for deeply encoded `/api/channels/*` variants to prevent alternate-path auth bypass through plugin handlers. Thanks @tdjackey for reporting.
 - Gateway/Plugin HTTP hardening: require explicit `auth` for plugin route registration, add route ownership guards for duplicate `path+match` registrations, centralize plugin path matching/auth logic into dedicated modules, and share webhook target-route lifecycle wiring across channel monitors to avoid stale or conflicting registrations. Thanks @tdjackey for reporting.
-- Agents/Sessions list transcript paths: handle missing/non-string/relative `sessions.list.path` values and per-agent `{agentId}` templates when deriving `transcriptPath`, so cross-agent session listings resolve to concrete agent session files instead of workspace-relative paths. (#24775) Thanks @martinfrancois.
 - Agents/Subagents `sessions_spawn`: reject malformed `agentId` inputs before normalization (for example error-message/path-like strings) to prevent unintended synthetic agent IDs and ghost workspace/session paths; includes strict validation regression coverage. (#31381) Thanks @openperf.
-- macOS/PeekabooBridge: add compatibility socket symlinks for legacy `clawdbot`, `clawdis`, and `moltbot` Application Support socket paths so pre-rename clients can still connect. (#6033) Thanks @lumpinif and @vincentkoc.
 - Webchat/Feishu session continuation: preserve routable `OriginatingChannel`/`OriginatingTo` metadata from session delivery context in `chat.send`, and prefer provider-normalized channel when deciding cross-channel route dispatch so Webchat replies continue on the selected Feishu session instead of falling back to main/internal session routing. (#31573)
-- Feishu/Duplicate replies: suppress same-target reply dispatch when message-tool sends use generic provider metadata (`provider: "message"`) and normalize `lark`/`feishu` provider aliases during duplicate-target checks, preventing double-delivery in Feishu sessions. (#31526)
-- Feishu/Plugin sdk compatibility: add safe webhook default fallbacks when loading Feishu monitor state so mixed-version installs no longer crash if older `openclaw/plugin-sdk` builds omit webhook default constants. (#31606)
 - Pairing/AllowFrom account fallback: handle omitted `accountId` values in `readChannelAllowFromStore` and `readChannelAllowFromStoreSync` as `default`, while preserving legacy unscoped allowFrom merges for default-account flows. Thanks @Sid-Qin and @vincentkoc.
 - Agents/Sandbox workdir mapping: map container workdir paths (for example `/workspace`) back to the host workspace before sandbox path validation so exec requests keep the intended directory in containerized runs instead of falling back to an unavailable host path. (#31841) Thanks @liuxiaopai-ai.
 - Agents/Subagent announce cleanup: keep completion-message runs pending while descendants settle, add a 30 minute hard-expiry backstop to avoid indefinite pending state, and keep retry bookkeeping resumable across deferred wakes. (#23970) Thanks @tyler6204.
-- BlueBubbles/Message metadata: harden send response ID extraction, include sender identity in DM context, and normalize inbound `message_id` selection to avoid duplicate ID metadata. (#23970) Thanks @tyler6204.
 - Gateway/Control UI method guard: allow POST requests to non-UI routes to fall through when no base path is configured, and add POST regression coverage for fallthrough and base-path 405 behavior. (#23970) Thanks @tyler6204.
 - Gateway/Control UI basePath POST handling: return 405 for `POST` on exact basePath routes (for example `/openclaw`) instead of redirecting, and add end-to-end regression coverage that root-mounted webhook POST paths still pass through to plugin handlers. (#31349) Thanks @Sid-Qin.
 - Authentication: classify `permission_error` as `auth_permanent` for profile fallback. (#31324) Thanks @Sid-Qin.
-- Security/Prompt spoofing hardening: stop injecting queued runtime events into user-role prompt text, route them through trusted system-prompt context, and neutralize inbound spoof markers like `[System Message]` and line-leading `System:` in untrusted message content. (#30448)
 - Gateway/Node browser proxy routing: honor `profile` from `browser.request` JSON body when query params omit it, while preserving query-profile precedence when both are present. (#28852) Thanks @Sid-Qin.
 - Browser/Extension relay reconnect tolerance: keep `/json/version` and `/cdp` reachable during short MV3 worker disconnects when attached targets still exist, and retain clients across reconnect grace windows. (#30232) Thanks @Sid-Qin.
 - Browser/Extension re-announce reliability: keep relay state in `connecting` when re-announce forwarding fails and extend debugger re-attach retries after navigation to reduce false attached states and post-nav disconnect loops. (#27630) Thanks @markmusson.

(#20304) Thanks @xuhao1.
+- Feishu/Reactions: add inbound `im.message.reaction.created_v1` handling, route verified reactions through synthetic inbound turns, and harden verification with timeout + fail-closed filtering so non-bot or unverified reactions are dropped. (#16716) Thanks @schumilin.

+- ACP/ACPX streaming: pin ACPX plugin support to `0.1.15`, add configurable ACPX command/version probing, and streamline ACP stream delivery (`final_only` default + reduced tool-event noise) with matching runtime and test updates. (#30036) Thanks @osolmaz.
+- Shell env markers: set `OPENCLAW_SHELL` across shell-like runtimes (`exec`, `acp`, `acp-client`, `tui-local`) so shell startup/config rules can target OpenClaw contexts consistently, and document the markers in env/exec/acp/TUI docs. Thanks @vincentkoc.
+- Cron/Heartbeat light bootstrap context: add opt-in lightweight bootstrap mode for automation runs (`--light-context` for cron agent turns and `agents.*.heartbeat.lightContext` for heartbeat), keeping only `HEARTBEAT.md` for heartbeat runs and skipping bootstrap-file injection for cron lightweight runs. (#26064) Thanks @jose-velez.
+- OpenAI/WebSocket warm-up: add optional OpenAI Responses WebSocket warm-up (`response.create` with `generate:false`), enable it by default for `openai/*`, and expose `params.openaiWsWarmup` for per-model enable/disable control.
+- Agents/Subagents runtime events: replace ad-hoc subagent completion system-message handoff with typed internal completion events (`task_completion`) that are rendered consistently across direct and queued announce paths, with gateway/CLI plumbing for structured `internalEvents`.
+
+### Breaking
+
+- **BREAKING:** Node exec approval payloads now require `systemRunPlan`. `host=node` approval requests without that plan are rejected.
+- **BREAKING:** Node `system.run` execution now pins path-token commands to the canonical executable path (`realpath`) in both allowlist and approval execution flows. Integrations/tests that asserted token-form argv (for example `tr`) must now accept canonical paths (for example `/usr/bin/tr`).

(#28103) Thanks @Glucksberg.
-- Slack/Channel message subscriptions: register explicit `message.channels` and `message.groups` monitor handlers (alongside generic `message`) so channel/group event subscriptions are consumed even when Slack dispatches typed message event names. Fixes #31674.
 - Feishu/Outbound session routing: stop assuming bare `oc_` identifiers are always group chats, honor explicit `dm:`/`group:` prefixes for `oc_` chat IDs, and default ambiguous bare `oc_` targets to direct routing to avoid DM session misclassification. (#10407) Thanks @Bermudarat.

 ## Unreleased
 
-### Changes
-
-- ACP/ACPX streaming: pin ACPX plugin support to `0.1.15`, add configurable ACPX command/version probing, and streamline ACP stream delivery (`final_only` default + reduced tool-event noise) with matching runtime and test updates. (#30036) Thanks @osolmaz.
-- Cron/Heartbeat light bootstrap context: add opt-in lightweight bootstrap mode for automation runs (`--light-context` for cron agent turns and `agents.*.heartbeat.lightContext` for heartbeat), keeping only `HEARTBEAT.md` for heartbeat runs and skipping bootstrap-file injection for cron lightweight runs. (#26064) Thanks @jose-velez.
-- OpenAI/Streaming transport: make `openai` Responses WebSocket-first by default (`transport: "auto"` with SSE fallback), add shared OpenAI WS stream/connection runtime wiring with per-session cleanup, and preserve server-side compaction payload mutation (`store` + `context_management`) on the WS path.
-- OpenAI/WebSocket warm-up: add optional OpenAI Responses WebSocket warm-up (`response.create` with `generate:false`), enable it by default for `openai/*`, and expose `params.openaiWsWarmup` for per-model enable/disable control.
-- Agents/Subagents runtime events: replace ad-hoc subagent completion system-message handoff with typed internal completion events (`task_completion`) that are rendered consistently across direct and queued announce paths, with gateway/CLI plumbing for structured `internalEvents`.
-
-### Breaking
-
-- **BREAKING:** Node exec approval payloads now require `systemRunPlan`. `host=node` approval requests without that plan are rejected.
-- **BREAKING:** Node `system.run` execution now pins path-token commands to the canonical executable path (`realpath`) in both allowlist and approval execution flows. Integrations/tests that asserted token-form argv (for example `tr`) must now accept canonical paths (for example `/usr/bin/tr`).
-
 ### Fixes
 
 - 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.

(#22773) Thanks @brianleach.
-- macOS/Menu bar: stop reusing the injector delegate for the "Usage cost (30 days)" submenu to prevent recursive submenu injection loops when opening cost history. (#25341) Thanks @yingchunbai.
-- Control UI/Chat images: route image-click opens through a shared safe-open helper (allowing only safe URL schemes) and open new tabs with opener isolation to block tabnabbing. (#18685, #25444, #25847) Thanks @Mariana-Codebase and @shakkernerd.
-- CLI/Doctor: correct stale recovery hints to use valid commands (`openclaw gateway status --deep` and `openclaw configure --section model`). (#24485) Thanks @chilu18.

 - Security/Sandbox: canonicalize bind-mount source paths via existing-ancestor realpath so symlink-parent + non-existent-leaf paths cannot bypass allowed-source-roots or blocked-path checks. Thanks @tdjackey.

Subject: [PATCH 188/467] fix(#8127): auto-skip tiny/empty audio files in
 whisper transcription

Add a minimum file size guard (MIN_AUDIO_FILE_BYTES = 1024) before
sending audio to transcription APIs. Files below this threshold are
almost certainly empty or corrupt and would cause unhelpful errors
from Whisper/Deepgram/Groq providers.

Changes:
- Add 'tooSmall' skip reason to MediaUnderstandingSkipError
- Add MIN_AUDIO_FILE_BYTES constant (1024 bytes) to defaults
- Guard both provider and CLI audio paths in runner.ts
- Add comprehensive tests for tiny, empty, and valid audio files
- Update existing test fixtures to use audio files above threshold

Subject: [PATCH 192/467] fix(test): update media-understanding tests for
 whisper skip empty audio

Increase test audio file sizes to meet MIN_AUDIO_FILE_BYTES (1024) threshold
introduced by the skip-empty-audio feature. Fix localPathRoots in skip-tiny-audio
tests so temp files pass path validation. Remove undefined loadApply() call
in apply.test.ts.

Subject: [PATCH 193/467] Add runtime.stt.transcribeAudioFile for plugin STT
 access

Expose audio transcription through the PluginRuntime so external
plugins (e.g. marmot) can use openclaw's media-understanding provider
framework without importing unexported internal modules.

The new transcribeAudioFile() wraps runCapability({capability: "audio"})
and reads provider/model/apiKey from tools.media.audio in the config,
matching the pattern used by the Discord VC implementation.

 ### Changes
 
 - Outbound adapters/plugins: add shared `sendPayload` support across direct-text-media, Discord, Slack, WhatsApp, Zalo, and Zalouser with multi-media iteration and chunk-aware text fallback. (#30144) Thanks @nohat.
+- Plugin runtime/STT: add `api.runtime.stt.transcribeAudioFile(...)` so extensions can transcribe local audio files through OpenClaw's configured media-understanding audio providers. (#22402) Thanks @benthecarman.
 - Sessions/Attachments: add inline file attachment support for `sessions_spawn` (subagent runtime only) with base64/utf8 encoding, transcript content redaction, lifecycle cleanup, and configurable limits via `tools.sessions_spawn.attachments`. (#16761) Thanks @napetrov.
 - Tools/PDF analysis: add a first-class `pdf` tool with native Anthropic and Google PDF provider support, extraction fallback for non-native models, configurable defaults (`agents.defaults.pdfModel`, `pdfMaxBytesMb`, `pdfMaxPages`), and docs/tests covering routing, validation, and registration. (#31319) Thanks @tyler6204.
 - Zalo Personal plugin (`@openclaw/zalouser`): rebuilt channel runtime to use native `zca-js` integration in-process, removing external CLI transport usage and keeping QR/login + send/listen flows fully inside OpenClaw.

 ### Fixes
 
 - macOS/LaunchAgent security defaults: write `Umask=63` (octal `077`) into generated gateway launchd plists so post-update service reinstalls keep owner-only file permissions by default instead of falling back to system `022`. (#32022) Fixes #31905. Thanks @liuxiaopai-ai.
+- Plugin SDK/runtime hardening: add package export verification in CI/release checks to catch missing runtime exports before publish-time regressions. (#28575) Thanks @Glucksberg.
+- Media understanding/provider HTTP proxy routing: pass a proxy-aware fetch function from `HTTPS_PROXY`/`HTTP_PROXY` env vars into audio/video provider calls (with graceful malformed-proxy fallback) so transcription/video requests honor configured outbound proxies. (#27093) Thanks @mcaxtr.
+- Media understanding/malformed attachment guards: harden attachment selection and decision summary formatting against non-array or malformed attachment payloads to prevent runtime crashes on invalid inbound metadata shapes. (#28024) Thanks @claw9267.
+- Media understanding/audio transcription guard: skip tiny/empty audio files (<1024 bytes) before provider/CLI transcription to avoid noisy invalid-audio failures and preserve clean fallback behavior. (#8388) Thanks @Glucksberg.
+- OpenAI media capabilities: include `audio` in the OpenAI provider capability list so audio transcription models are eligible in media-understanding provider selection. (#12717) Thanks @openjay.
 - Security/Node exec approvals: preserve shell/dispatch-wrapper argv semantics during approval hardening so approved wrapper commands (for example `env sh -c ...`) cannot drift into a different runtime command shape, and add regression coverage for both approval-plan generation and approved runtime execution paths. Thanks @tdjackey for reporting.
 - Browser/Security output boundary hardening: replace check-then-rename output commits with root-bound fd-verified writes, unify install/skills canonical path-boundary checks, and add regression coverage for symlink-rebind race paths across browser output and shared fs-safe write flows. Thanks @tdjackey for reporting.
 - Security/Webhook request hardening: enforce auth-before-body parsing for BlueBubbles and Google Chat webhook handlers, add strict pre-auth body/time budgets for webhook auth paths (including LINE signature verification), and add shared in-flight/request guardrails plus regression tests/lint checks to prevent reintroducing unauthenticated slow-body DoS patterns. Thanks @GCXWLP for reporting.

Subject: [PATCH 197/467] feat(audio): auto-echo transcription to chat before
 agent processing
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

When echoTranscript is enabled in tools.media.audio config, the
transcription text is sent back to the originating chat immediately
after successful audio transcription — before the agent processes it.
This lets users verify what was heard from their voice note.

Changes:
- config/types.tools.ts: add echoTranscript (bool) and echoFormat
  (string template) to MediaUnderstandingConfig
- media-understanding/apply.ts: sendTranscriptEcho() helper that
  resolves channel/to from ctx, guards on isDeliverableMessageChannel,
  and calls deliverOutboundPayloads best-effort
- config/schema.help.ts: help text for both new fields
- config/schema.labels.ts: labels for both new fields
- media-understanding/apply.echo-transcript.test.ts: 10 vitest cases
  covering disabled/enabled/custom-format/no-audio/failed-transcription/
  non-deliverable-channel/missing-from/OriginatingTo/delivery-failure

Default echoFormat: '📝 "{transcript}"'

Closes #32102

 ### Changes
 
 - Outbound adapters/plugins: add shared `sendPayload` support across direct-text-media, Discord, Slack, WhatsApp, Zalo, and Zalouser with multi-media iteration and chunk-aware text fallback. (#30144) Thanks @nohat.
+- Media understanding/audio echo: add optional `tools.media.audio.echoTranscript` + `echoFormat` to send a pre-agent transcript confirmation message to the originating chat, with echo disabled by default. (#32150) Thanks @AytuncYildizli.
 - Plugin runtime/STT: add `api.runtime.stt.transcribeAudioFile(...)` so extensions can transcribe local audio files through OpenClaw's configured media-understanding audio providers. (#22402) Thanks @benthecarman.
 - Sessions/Attachments: add inline file attachment support for `sessions_spawn` (subagent runtime only) with base64/utf8 encoding, transcript content redaction, lifecycle cleanup, and configurable limits via `tools.sessions_spawn.attachments`. (#16761) Thanks @napetrov.
 - Tools/PDF analysis: add a first-class `pdf` tool with native Anthropic and Google PDF provider support, extraction fallback for non-native models, configurable defaults (`agents.defaults.pdfModel`, `pdfMaxBytesMb`, `pdfMaxPages`), and docs/tests covering routing, validation, and registration. (#31319) Thanks @tyler6204.

@@ -117,12 +134,26 @@ Note: Binary detection is best-effort across macOS/Linux/Windows; ensure the CLI
 - Mistral setup details: [Mistral](/providers/mistral).
 - Audio providers can override `baseUrl`, `headers`, and `providerOptions` via `tools.media.audio`.
 - Default size cap is 20MB (`tools.media.audio.maxBytes`). Oversize audio is skipped for that model and the next entry is tried.
+- Tiny/empty audio files below 1024 bytes are skipped before provider/CLI transcription.
 - Default `maxChars` for audio is **unset** (full transcript). Set `tools.media.audio.maxChars` or per-entry `maxChars` to trim output.
 - OpenAI auto default is `gpt-4o-mini-transcribe`; set `model: "gpt-4o-transcribe"` for higher accuracy.
 - Use `tools.media.audio.attachments` to process multiple voice notes (`mode: "all"` + `maxAttachments`).
 - Transcript is available to templates as `{{Transcript}}`.
+- `tools.media.audio.echoTranscript` is off by default; enable it to send transcript confirmation back to the originating chat before agent processing.
+- `tools.media.audio.echoFormat` customizes the echo text (placeholder: `{transcript}`).
 - CLI stdout is capped (5MB); keep CLI output concise.
 
+### Proxy environment support
+
+Provider-based audio transcription honors standard outbound proxy env vars:
+
+- `HTTPS_PROXY`
+- `HTTP_PROXY`
+- `https_proxy`
+- `http_proxy`
+
+If no proxy env vars are set, direct egress is used. If proxy config is malformed, OpenClaw logs a warning and falls back to direct fetch.
+
 ## Mention Detection in Groups
 
 When `requireMention: true` is set for a group chat, OpenClaw now transcribes audio **before** checking for mentions. This allows voice notes to be processed even when they contain mentions.

 - Telegram/models picker callbacks: keep long model buttons selectable by falling back to compact callback payloads and resolving provider ids on selection (with provider re-prompt on ambiguity), avoiding Telegram 64-byte callback truncation failures. (#31857) Thanks @bmendonca3.
 - WhatsApp/inbound self-message context: propagate inbound `fromMe` through the web inbox pipeline and annotate direct self messages as `(self)` in envelopes so agents can distinguish owner-authored turns from contact turns. (#32167) Thanks @scoootscooob.
 - Slack/thread context payloads: only inject thread starter/history text on first thread turn for new sessions while preserving thread metadata, reducing repeated context-token bloat on long-lived thread sessions. (#32133) Thanks @sourman.
+- Slack/session routing: keep top-level channel messages in one shared session when `replyToMode=off`, while preserving thread-scoped keys for true thread replies and non-off modes. (#32193) Thanks @bmendonca3.
 - Slack/inbound debounce routing: isolate top-level non-DM message debounce keys by message timestamp to avoid cross-thread collisions, preserve DM batching, and flush pending top-level buffers before immediate non-debounce follow-ups to keep ordering stable. (#31951) Thanks @scoootscooob.
 - OpenRouter/x-ai compatibility: skip `reasoning.effort` injection for `x-ai/*` models (for example Grok) so OpenRouter requests no longer fail with invalid-arguments errors on unsupported reasoning params. (#32054) Thanks @scoootscooob.
 - Mentions/Slack formatting hardening: add null-safe guards for runtime text normalization paths so malformed/undefined text payloads do not crash mention stripping or mrkdwn conversion. (#31865) Thanks @stone-jin.

Subject: [PATCH 212/467] fix: refresh session-store cache when file size
 changes within same mtime tick
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

The session-store cache used only mtime for invalidation. In fast CI
runs (especially under bun), test writes to the session store can
complete within the same filesystem mtime granularity (~1s on HFS+/ext4),
so the cache returns stale data. This caused non-deterministic failures
in model precedence tests where a session override written to disk was
not observed by the next loadSessionStore() call.

Fix: add file size as a secondary cache invalidation signal. The cache
now checks both mtimeMs and sizeBytes — if either differs from the
cached values, it reloads from disk.

Changes:
- cache-utils.ts: add getFileSizeBytes() helper
- sessions/store.ts: extend SessionStoreCacheEntry with sizeBytes field,
  check size in cache-hit path, populate size on cache writes
- sessions.cache.test.ts: add regression test for same-mtime rewrite

@@ -42,6 +42,7 @@ Docs: https://docs.openclaw.ai
 - Auto-reply/followup queue: avoid stale callback reuse across idle-window restarts by caching the followup runner only when a drain actually starts, preserving enqueue ordering after empty-finalize paths. (#31902) Thanks @Lanfei.
 - Cron/HEARTBEAT_OK summary leak: suppress fallback main-session enqueue for heartbeat/internal ack summaries in isolated announce mode so `HEARTBEAT_OK` noise never appears in user chat while real summaries still forward. (#32093) Thanks @scoootscooob.
 - Sessions/lock recovery: reclaim orphan legacy same-PID lock files missing `starttime` when no in-process lock ownership exists, avoiding false lock timeouts after PID reuse while preserving active lock safety checks. (#32081) Thanks @bmendonca3.
+- Sessions/store cache invalidation: reload cached session stores when file size changes within the same mtime tick by keying cache validation on a single file-stat snapshot (`mtimeMs` + `sizeBytes`), with regression coverage for same-tick rewrites. (#32191) Thanks @jalehman.
 - Models/Codex usage labels: infer weekly secondary usage windows from reset cadence when API window seconds are ambiguously reported as 24h, so `openclaw models status` no longer mislabels weekly limits as daily. (#31938) Thanks @bmendonca3.
 - Config/backups hardening: enforce owner-only (`0600`) permissions on rotated config backups and clean orphan `.bak.*` files outside the managed backup ring, reducing credential leakage risk from stale or permissive backup artifacts. (#31718) Thanks @YUJIE2002.
 - Exec approvals/allowlist matching: escape regex metacharacters in path-pattern literals (while preserving glob wildcards), preventing crashes on allowlisted executables like `/usr/bin/g++` and correctly matching mixed wildcard/literal token paths. (#32162) Thanks @stakeswky.

@@ -55,6 +55,7 @@ Docs: https://docs.openclaw.ai
 - Memory/LanceDB embeddings: forward configured `embedding.dimensions` into OpenAI embeddings requests so vector size and API output dimensions stay aligned when dimensions are explicitly configured. (#32036) Thanks @scotthuang.
 - Failover/error classification: treat HTTP `529` (provider overloaded, common with Anthropic-compatible APIs) as `rate_limit` so model failover can engage instead of misclassifying the error path. (#31854) Thanks @bugkill3r.
 - Plugin command/runtime hardening: validate and normalize plugin command name/description at registration boundaries, and guard Telegram native menu normalization paths so malformed plugin command specs cannot crash startup (`trim` on undefined). (#31997) Fixes #31944. Thanks @liuxiaopai-ai.
+- Plugins/hardlink install compatibility: allow bundled plugin manifests and entry files to load when installed via hardlink-based package managers (`pnpm`, `bun`) while keeping hardlink rejection enabled for non-bundled plugin sources. (#32119) Fixes #28175, #28404, #29455. Thanks @markfietje.
 - Web UI/config form: support SecretInput string-or-secret-ref unions in map `additionalProperties`, so provider API key fields stay editable instead of being marked unsupported. (#31866) Thanks @ningding97.
 - Plugins/install diagnostics: reject legacy plugin package shapes without `openclaw.extensions` and return an explicit upgrade hint with troubleshooting docs for repackaging. (#32055) Thanks @liuxiaopai-ai.
 - Plugins/install fallback safety: resolve bare install specs to bundled plugin ids before npm lookup (for example `diffs` -> bundled `@openclaw/diffs`), keep npm fallback limited to true package-not-found errors, and continue rejecting non-plugin npm packages that fail manifest validation. (#32096) Thanks @scoootscooob.

Subject: [PATCH 217/467] fix(slack): filter inherited parent files from thread
 replies (#32203)

Slack's Events API includes the parent message's files array in every
thread reply event payload. This caused OpenClaw to re-download and
attach the parent's files to every text-only thread reply, creating
ghost media attachments.

The fix filters out files that belong to the thread starter by comparing
file IDs. The resolveSlackThreadStarter result is already cached, so
this adds no extra API calls.

Closes #32203

Subject: [PATCH 218/467] fix(slack): prevent duplicate DM processing from
 app_mention events

Fixes duplicate message processing in Slack DMs where both message.im
and app_mention events fire for the same message, causing:
- 2x token/credit usage per message
- 2x API calls
- Duplicate agent invocations with same runId

Root cause: app_mention events should only fire for channel mentions,
not DMs. Added channel_type check to skip im/mpim in app_mention handler.

Evidence of bug (from production logs):
- Same runId firing twice within 200-300ms
- Example: runId 13cd482c... at 20:32:42.699Z and 20:32:42.954Z

After fix:
- One message = one runId = one processing run
- 50% reduction in duplicate processing

 - Sessions/lock recovery: reclaim orphan legacy same-PID lock files missing `starttime` when no in-process lock ownership exists, avoiding false lock timeouts after PID reuse while preserving active lock safety checks. (#32081) Thanks @bmendonca3.
 - Sessions/store cache invalidation: reload cached session stores when file size changes within the same mtime tick by keying cache validation on a single file-stat snapshot (`mtimeMs` + `sizeBytes`), with regression coverage for same-tick rewrites. (#32191) Thanks @jalehman.
+- Config/raw redaction safety: preserve non-sensitive literals during raw redaction round-trips, scope SecretRef redaction to secret IDs (not structural fields like `source`/`provider`), and fall back to structured raw redaction when text replacement cannot restore the original config shape. (#32174) Thanks @bmendonca3.

Subject: [PATCH 222/467] fix(feishu): suppress reasoning/thinking block
 payloads from delivery (#31723)

* fix(extensions/feishu/src/reply-dispatcher.ts): missing privacy check / data leak

Pattern from PR #24969

The fix addresses the critical race condition by placing the 'block' filter check at the very top of the `deliver` function. This ensures that for internal 'block' reasoning chunks, the function returns immediately, preventing any text processing (lines 195-203) and, crucially, preventing the initialization of the streaming state for these payloads (lines 212-216). This ensures that the `streaming` object is not initialized with empty data, and subsequent 'final' payloads will correctly initialize and stream only the final content. The fix also addresses the 'incomplete' validation issue by using `info?.kind !== 'block'`. While the contract likely ensures `info` is present, this defensive approach ensures that if `info` is missing (and the payload is unrelated to internal blocking), the message is still delivered to the user, preventing a 'silent failure' bug. The validation logic at line 205 (`!hasText && !hasMedia`) ensures we do not send empty messages.

* Fix indentation: remove extra 4 spaces from deliver function body

The deliver function is inside the createReplyDispatcherWithTyping call,
so it should be indented at 2 levels (8 spaces), not 3 levels (12 spaces).

Subject: [PATCH 223/467] fix(cron): suppress delivery when multi-payload
 response contains HEARTBEAT_OK
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

When a cron agent emits multiple text payloads (narration + tool
summaries) followed by a final HEARTBEAT_OK, the delivery suppression
check `isHeartbeatOnlyResponse` fails because it uses `.every()` —
requiring ALL payloads to be heartbeat tokens. In practice, agents
narrate their work before signaling nothing needs attention.

Fix: check if ANY payload contains HEARTBEAT_OK (`.some()`) while
preserving the media delivery exception (if any payload has media,
always deliver). This matches the semantic intent: HEARTBEAT_OK is
the agent's explicit signal that nothing needs user attention.

Real-world example: heartbeat agent returns 3 payloads:
1. "It's 12:49 AM — quiet hours. Let me run the checks quickly."
2. "Emails: Just 2 calendar invites. Not urgent."
3. "HEARTBEAT_OK"

Previously: all 3 delivered to Telegram. Now: correctly suppressed.

Related: #32013 (fixed a different HEARTBEAT_OK leak path via system
events in timer.ts)

 - Security/Prompt spoofing hardening: stop injecting queued runtime events into user-role prompt text, route them through trusted system-prompt context, and neutralize inbound spoof markers like `[System Message]` and line-leading `System:` in untrusted message content. (#30448)
 - Auto-reply/followup queue: avoid stale callback reuse across idle-window restarts by caching the followup runner only when a drain actually starts, preserving enqueue ordering after empty-finalize paths. (#31902) Thanks @Lanfei.
 - Cron/HEARTBEAT_OK summary leak: suppress fallback main-session enqueue for heartbeat/internal ack summaries in isolated announce mode so `HEARTBEAT_OK` noise never appears in user chat while real summaries still forward. (#32093) Thanks @scoootscooob.
+- Cron/isolated announce heartbeat suppression: treat multi-payload runs as skippable when any payload is a heartbeat ack token and no payload has media, preventing internal narration + trailing `HEARTBEAT_OK` from being delivered to users. (#32131) Thanks @adhishthite.
 - Sessions/lock recovery: reclaim orphan legacy same-PID lock files missing `starttime` when no in-process lock ownership exists, avoiding false lock timeouts after PID reuse while preserving active lock safety checks. (#32081) Thanks @bmendonca3.
 - Sessions/store cache invalidation: reload cached session stores when file size changes within the same mtime tick by keying cache validation on a single file-stat snapshot (`mtimeMs` + `sizeBytes`), with regression coverage for same-tick rewrites. (#32191) Thanks @jalehman.
 - Config/raw redaction safety: preserve non-sensitive literals during raw redaction round-trips, scope SecretRef redaction to secret IDs (not structural fields like `source`/`provider`), and fall back to structured raw redaction when text replacement cannot restore the original config shape.

Subject: [PATCH 227/467] fix(sandbox): prevent Windows PATH from poisoning
 docker exec (#13873)
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

* fix(sandbox): prevent Windows PATH from poisoning docker exec shell lookup

On Windows hosts, `buildDockerExecArgs` passes the host PATH env var
(containing Windows paths like `C:\Windows\System32`) to `docker exec -e
PATH=...`. Docker uses this PATH to resolve the executable argument
(`sh`), which fails because Windows paths don't exist in the Linux
container — producing `exec: "sh": executable file not found in $PATH`.

Two changes:
- Skip PATH in the `-e` env loop (it's already handled separately via
  OPENCLAW_PREPEND_PATH + shell export)
- Use absolute `/bin/sh` instead of bare `sh` to eliminate PATH
  dependency entirely

* style: add braces around continue to satisfy linter

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>

* fix(test): update assertion to match /bin/sh in buildDockerExecArgs

 - Plugin SDK/runtime hardening: add package export verification in CI/release checks to catch missing runtime exports before publish-time regressions. (#28575) Thanks @Glucksberg.
 - Media understanding/provider HTTP proxy routing: pass a proxy-aware fetch function from `HTTPS_PROXY`/`HTTP_PROXY` env vars into audio/video provider calls (with graceful malformed-proxy fallback) so transcription/video requests honor configured outbound proxies. (#27093) Thanks @mcaxtr.
 - Media understanding/malformed attachment guards: harden attachment selection and decision summary formatting against non-array or malformed attachment payloads to prevent runtime crashes on invalid inbound metadata shapes. (#28024) Thanks @claw9267.
+- Media understanding/parakeet CLI output parsing: read `parakeet-mlx` transcripts from `--output-dir/<media-basename>.txt` when txt output is requested (or default), with stdout fallback for non-txt formats. (#9177) Thanks @mac-110.
 - Media understanding/audio transcription guard: skip tiny/empty audio files (<1024 bytes) before provider/CLI transcription to avoid noisy invalid-audio failures and preserve clean fallback behavior. (#8388) Thanks @Glucksberg.
 - OpenAI media capabilities: include `audio` in the OpenAI provider capability list so audio transcription models are eligible in media-understanding provider selection. (#12717) Thanks @openjay.
 - Security/Node exec approvals: preserve shell/dispatch-wrapper argv semantics during approval hardening so approved wrapper commands (for example `env sh -c ...`) cannot drift into a different runtime command shape, and add regression coverage for both approval-plan generation and approved runtime execution paths. Thanks @tdjackey for reporting.

 - Scope rules use first-match wins. `chatType` is normalized to `direct`, `group`, or `room`.
 - Ensure your CLI exits 0 and prints plain text; JSON needs to be massaged via `jq -r .text`.
+- For `parakeet-mlx`, if you pass `--output-dir`, OpenClaw reads `<output-dir>/<media-basename>.txt` when `--output-format` is `txt` (or omitted); non-`txt` output formats fall back to stdout parsing.
 - Keep timeouts reasonable (`timeoutSeconds`, default 60s) to avoid blocking the reply queue.
 - Preflight transcription only processes the **first** audio attachment for mention detection. Additional audio is processed during the main media understanding phase.

 - Tools/PDF analysis: add a first-class `pdf` tool with native Anthropic and Google PDF provider support, extraction fallback for non-native models, configurable defaults (`agents.defaults.pdfModel`, `pdfMaxBytesMb`, `pdfMaxPages`), and docs/tests covering routing, validation, and registration. (#31319) Thanks @tyler6204.
 - Zalo Personal plugin (`@openclaw/zalouser`): rebuilt channel runtime to use native `zca-js` integration in-process, removing external CLI transport usage and keeping QR/login + send/listen flows fully inside OpenClaw.
 - Telegram/DM streaming: use `sendMessageDraft` for private preview streaming, keep reasoning/answer preview lanes separated in DM reasoning-stream mode. (#31824) Thanks @obviyus.
+- Telegram/voice mention gating: add optional `disableAudioPreflight` on group/topic config to skip mention-detection preflight transcription for inbound voice notes where operators want text-only mention checks. (#23067) Thanks @yangnim21029.
 - CLI/Config validation: add `openclaw config validate` (with `--json`) to validate config files before gateway startup, and include detailed invalid-key paths in startup invalid-config errors. (#31220) thanks @Sid-Qin.
 - Tools/Diffs: add PDF file output support and rendering quality customization controls (`fileQuality`, `fileScale`, `fileMaxWidth`) for generated diff artifacts, and document PDF as the preferred option when messaging channels compress images. (#31342) Thanks @gumadeiras.
 - README/Contributors: rank contributor avatars by composite score (commits + merged PRs + code LOC), excluding docs-only LOC to prevent bulk-generated files from inflating rankings. (#23970) Thanks @tyler6204.

 - If transcription fails during preflight (timeout, API error, etc.), the message is processed based on text-only mention detection.
 - This ensures that mixed messages (text + audio) are never incorrectly dropped.
 
+**Opt-out per Telegram group/topic:**
+
+- Set `channels.telegram.groups.<chatId>.disableAudioPreflight: true` to skip preflight transcript mention checks for that group.
+- Set `channels.telegram.groups.<chatId>.topics.<threadId>.disableAudioPreflight` to override per-topic (`true` to skip, `false` to force-enable).
+- Default is `false` (preflight enabled when mention-gated conditions match).
+
 **Example:** A user sends a voice note saying "Hey @Claude, what's the weather?" in a Telegram group with `requireMention: true`. The voice note is transcribed, the mention is detected, and the agent replies.

Subject: [PATCH 235/467] fix(hooks): consolidate after_tool_call context +
 single-fire behavior (#32201)
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

* fix(hooks): deduplicate after_tool_call hook in embedded runs

(cherry picked from commit c129a1a74ba247460c6c061776ceeb995c757ecf)

* fix(hooks): propagate sessionKey in after_tool_call context

The after_tool_call hook in handleToolExecutionEnd was passing
`sessionKey: undefined` in the ToolContext, even though the value is
available on ctx.params. This broke plugins that need session context
in after_tool_call handlers (e.g., for per-session audit trails or
security logging).

- Add `sessionKey` to the `ToolHandlerParams` Pick type
- Pass `ctx.params.sessionKey` through to the hook context
- Add test assertion to prevent regression

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>
(cherry picked from commit b7117384fc1a09d60b25db0f80847a3519ddb3c3)

* fix(hooks): thread agentId through to after_tool_call hook context

Follow-up to #30511 — the after_tool_call hook context was passing
`agentId: undefined` because SubscribeEmbeddedPiSessionParams did not
carry the agent identity. This threads sessionAgentId (resolved in
attempt.ts) through the session params into the tool handler context,
giving plugins accurate agent-scoped context for both before_tool_call
and after_tool_call hooks.

Changes:
- Add `agentId?: string` to SubscribeEmbeddedPiSessionParams
- Add "agentId" to ToolHandlerParams Pick type
- Pass `agentId: sessionAgentId` at the subscribeEmbeddedPiSession()
  call site in attempt.ts
- Wire ctx.params.agentId into the after_tool_call hook context
- Update tests to assert agentId propagation

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>
(cherry picked from commit aad01edd3e0d367ad0defeb691d5689ddf2ee617)

* changelog: credit after_tool_call hook contributors

* Update CHANGELOG.md

* agents: preserve adjusted params until tool end

* agents: emit after_tool_call with adjusted args

* tests: cover adjusted after_tool_call params

* tests: align adapter after_tool_call expectation

@@ -51,6 +51,7 @@ Docs: https://docs.openclaw.ai
 - Config/backups hardening: enforce owner-only (`0600`) permissions on rotated config backups and clean orphan `.bak.*` files outside the managed backup ring, reducing credential leakage risk from stale or permissive backup artifacts. (#31718) Thanks @YUJIE2002.
 - Exec approvals/allowlist matching: escape regex metacharacters in path-pattern literals (while preserving glob wildcards), preventing crashes on allowlisted executables like `/usr/bin/g++` and correctly matching mixed wildcard/literal token paths. (#32162) Thanks @stakeswky.
 - Agents/tool-result guard: always clear pending tool-call state on interruptions even when synthetic tool results are disabled, preventing orphaned tool-use transcripts that cause follow-up provider request failures. (#32120) Thanks @jnMetaCode.
+- Hooks/after_tool_call: include embedded session context (`sessionKey`, `agentId`) and fire the hook exactly once per tool execution by removing duplicate adapter-path dispatch in embedded runs. (#32201) Thanks @jbeno, @scoootscooob, @vincentkoc.
 - Webchat/stream finalization: persist streamed assistant text when final events omit `message`, while keeping final payload precedence and skipping empty stream buffers to prevent disappearing replies after tool turns. (#31920) Thanks @Sid-Qin.
 - Cron/store migration: normalize legacy cron jobs with string `schedule` and top-level `command`/`timeout` fields into canonical schedule/payload/session-target shape on load, preventing schedule-error loops on old persisted stores. (#31926) Thanks @bmendonca3.
 - Gateway/Heartbeat model reload: treat `models.*` and `agents.defaults.model` config updates as heartbeat hot-reload triggers so heartbeat picks up model changes without a full gateway restart. (#32046) Thanks @stakeswky.

Subject: [PATCH 236/467] feat(hooks): add message:transcribed and
 message:preprocessed internal hooks

Adds two new internal hook events that fire after media/link processing:

- message:transcribed: fires when audio has been transcribed, providing
  the transcript text alongside the original body and media metadata.
  Useful for logging, analytics, or routing based on spoken content.

- message:preprocessed: fires for every message after all media + link
  understanding completes. Gives hooks access to the fully enriched body
  (transcripts, image descriptions, link summaries) before the agent sees it.

Both hooks are added in get-reply.ts, after applyMediaUnderstanding and
applyLinkUnderstanding. message:received and message:sent are already
in upstream (f07bb8e8) and are not duplicated here.

Typed contexts (MessageTranscribedHookContext, MessagePreprocessedHookContext)
and type guards (isMessageTranscribedEvent, isMessagePreprocessedEvent) added
to internal-hooks.ts alongside the existing received/sent types.

Test coverage in src/hooks/message-hooks.test.ts.

Subject: [PATCH 237/467] fix(hooks): resolve type/lint errors from CI check
 failure

Arrow function passed to registerInternalHook was implicitly returning
the number from Array.push(), which is not assignable to void | Promise<void>.
Use block body to discard the return value.

Subject: [PATCH 238/467] fix(hooks): add isGroup and groupId to message:sent
 context

Adds group context fields to MessageSentHookContext so hooks can
correlate sent events with received events for the same conversation.

Previously, message:received included isGroup/groupId but message:sent
did not, forcing hooks to use mismatched identifiers (e.g. groupId vs
numeric chat ID) when tracking conversations.

Fields are derived from MsgContext in dispatch-from-config and threaded
through route-reply and deliver via the mirror parameter.

Addresses feedback from matskevich (production user, 550+ events)
reported on PR #6797.

 - Zalo Personal plugin (`@openclaw/zalouser`): rebuilt channel runtime to use native `zca-js` integration in-process, removing external CLI transport usage and keeping QR/login + send/listen flows fully inside OpenClaw.
 - Telegram/DM streaming: use `sendMessageDraft` for private preview streaming, keep reasoning/answer preview lanes separated in DM reasoning-stream mode. (#31824) Thanks @obviyus.
 - Telegram/voice mention gating: add optional `disableAudioPreflight` on group/topic config to skip mention-detection preflight transcription for inbound voice notes where operators want text-only mention checks. (#23067) Thanks @yangnim21029.
+- Hooks/message lifecycle: add internal hook events `message:transcribed` and `message:preprocessed`, plus richer outbound `message:sent` context (`isGroup`, `groupId`) for group-conversation correlation and post-transcription automations. (#9859) Thanks @Drickon.
 - CLI/Config validation: add `openclaw config validate` (with `--json`) to validate config files before gateway startup, and include detailed invalid-key paths in startup invalid-config errors. (#31220) thanks @Sid-Qin.
 - Tools/Diffs: add PDF file output support and rendering quality customization controls (`fileQuality`, `fileScale`, `fileMaxWidth`) for generated diff artifacts, and document PDF as the preferred option when messaging channels compress images. (#31342) Thanks @gumadeiras.
 - README/Contributors: rank contributor avatars by composite score (commits + merged PRs + code LOC), excluding docs-only LOC to prevent bulk-generated files from inflating rankings. (#23970) Thanks @tyler6204.

Subject: [PATCH 240/467] fix(daemon): resolve Homebrew Cellar path to stable
 symlink for gateway install

When `openclaw gateway install` runs under Homebrew Node, `process.execPath`
resolves to the versioned Cellar path (e.g. /opt/homebrew/Cellar/node/25.7.0/bin/node).
This path breaks when Homebrew upgrades Node, silently killing the gateway daemon.

Resolve Cellar paths to the stable Homebrew symlink (/opt/homebrew/bin/node)
which Homebrew updates automatically during upgrades.

Closes #32182

Subject: [PATCH 241/467] fix(daemon): handle versioned node@XX Homebrew
 formulas in Cellar resolution

Address review feedback: versioned Homebrew formulas (node@22, node@20)
use keg-only paths where the stable symlink is at <prefix>/opt/<formula>/bin/node,
not <prefix>/bin/node. Updated resolveStableNodePath to:

1. Try <prefix>/opt/<formula>/bin/node first (works for both default + versioned)
2. Fall back to <prefix>/bin/node for the default "node" formula
3. Return the original Cellar path if neither stable path exists

 - Gateway/Heartbeat model reload: treat `models.*` and `agents.defaults.model` config updates as heartbeat hot-reload triggers so heartbeat picks up model changes without a full gateway restart. (#32046) Thanks @stakeswky.
 - Gateway/Webchat NO_REPLY streaming: suppress assistant lead-fragment deltas that are prefixes of `NO_REPLY` and keep final-message buffering in sync, preventing partial `NO` leaks on silent-response runs while preserving legitimate short replies. (#32073) Thanks @liuxiaopai-ai.
 - Tools/fsPolicy propagation: honor `tools.fs.workspaceOnly` for image/pdf local-root allowlists so non-sandbox media paths outside workspace are rejected when workspace-only mode is enabled. (#31882) Thanks @justinhuangcode.
+- Daemon/Homebrew runtime pinning: resolve Homebrew Cellar Node paths to stable Homebrew-managed symlinks (including versioned formulas like `node@22`) so gateway installs keep the intended runtime across brew upgrades. (#32185) Thanks @scoootscooob.
 - Memory/LanceDB embeddings: forward configured `embedding.dimensions` into OpenAI embeddings requests so vector size and API output dimensions stay aligned when dimensions are explicitly configured. (#32036) Thanks @scotthuang.
 - Failover/error classification: treat HTTP `529` (provider overloaded, common with Anthropic-compatible APIs) as `rate_limit` so model failover can engage instead of misclassifying the error path. (#31854) Thanks @bugkill3r.
 - Plugin command/runtime hardening: validate and normalize plugin command name/description at registration boundaries, and guard Telegram native menu normalization paths so malformed plugin command specs cannot crash startup (`trim` on undefined). (#31997) Fixes #31944. Thanks @liuxiaopai-ai.

Subject: [PATCH 243/467] fix(webchat): suppress NO_REPLY token in chat
 transcript rendering (#32183)
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

* fix(types): resolve pre-existing TS errors in agent-components and pairing-store

- agent-components.ts: normalizeDiscordAllowList returns {allowAll, ids, names},
  not an array — use ids.values().next().value instead of [0] indexing
- pairing-store.ts: add non-null assertions for stat after cache-miss guard
  (resolveAllowFromReadCacheOrMissing returns early when stat is null)

* fix(webchat): suppress NO_REPLY token in chat transcript rendering

Filter assistant NO_REPLY-only entries from chat.history responses at
the gateway API boundary and add client-side defense-in-depth guards in
the UI chat controller so internal silent tokens never render as visible
chat bubbles.

Two-layer fix:
1. Gateway: extractAssistantTextForSilentCheck + isSilentReplyText
   filter in sanitizeChatHistoryMessages (entry.text takes precedence
   over entry.content to avoid dropping messages with real text)
2. UI: isAssistantSilentReply + isSilentReplyStream guards on all 5
   message insertion points in handleChatEvent and loadChatHistory

Fixes #32015

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>

* fix(webchat): align isAssistantSilentReply text/content precedence with gateway

* webchat: tighten NO_REPLY transcript and delta filtering

@@ -81,6 +81,7 @@ Docs: https://docs.openclaw.ai
 - Agents/Subagents `sessions_spawn`: reject malformed `agentId` inputs before normalization (for example error-message/path-like strings) to prevent unintended synthetic agent IDs and ghost workspace/session paths; includes strict validation regression coverage. (#31381) Thanks @openperf.
 - Webchat/Feishu session continuation: preserve routable `OriginatingChannel`/`OriginatingTo` metadata from session delivery context in `chat.send`, and prefer provider-normalized channel when deciding cross-channel route dispatch so Webchat replies continue on the selected Feishu session instead of falling back to main/internal session routing. (#31573)
 - Pairing/AllowFrom account fallback: handle omitted `accountId` values in `readChannelAllowFromStore` and `readChannelAllowFromStoreSync` as `default`, while preserving legacy unscoped allowFrom merges for default-account flows. Thanks @Sid-Qin and @vincentkoc.
+- Control UI/Legacy browser compatibility: replace `toSorted`-dependent cron suggestion sorting in `app-render` with a compatibility helper so older browsers without `Array.prototype.toSorted` no longer white-screen. (#31775) Thanks @liuxiaopai-ai.
 - Agents/Sandbox workdir mapping: map container workdir paths (for example `/workspace`) back to the host workspace before sandbox path validation so exec requests keep the intended directory in containerized runs instead of falling back to an unavailable host path. (#31841) Thanks @liuxiaopai-ai.
 - Agents/Subagent announce cleanup: keep completion-message runs pending while descendants settle, add a 30 minute hard-expiry backstop to avoid indefinite pending state, and keep retry bookkeeping resumable across deferred wakes. (#23970) Thanks @tyler6204.
 - Gateway/Control UI method guard: allow POST requests to non-UI routes to fall through when no base path is configured, and add POST regression coverage for fallthrough and base-path 405 behavior. (#23970) Thanks @tyler6204.

Subject: [PATCH 245/467] fix(auto-reply): preserve newlines in
 stripInlineStatus and extractInlineSimpleCommand

The /\s+/g whitespace normalizer collapsed newlines along with spaces/tabs,
destroying paragraph structure in multi-line messages before they reached
the LLM. Use /[^\S\n]+/g to only collapse horizontal whitespace while
preserving line breaks.

Closes #32216

 ### Fixes
 
+- Auto-reply/inline command cleanup: preserve newline structure when stripping inline `/status` and extracting inline slash commands by collapsing only horizontal whitespace, preventing paragraph flattening in multi-line replies. (#32224) Thanks @scoootscooob.
 - macOS/LaunchAgent security defaults: write `Umask=63` (octal `077`) into generated gateway launchd plists so post-update service reinstalls keep owner-only file permissions by default instead of falling back to system `022`. (#32022) Fixes #31905. Thanks @liuxiaopai-ai.
 - Plugin SDK/runtime hardening: add package export verification in CI/release checks to catch missing runtime exports before publish-time regressions. (#28575) Thanks @Glucksberg.
 - Media understanding/provider HTTP proxy routing: pass a proxy-aware fetch function from `HTTPS_PROXY`/`HTTP_PROXY` env vars into audio/video provider calls (with graceful malformed-proxy fallback) so transcription/video requests honor configured outbound proxies. (#27093) Thanks @mcaxtr.

Subject: [PATCH 247/467] fix(discord): use correct content_type property for
 audio attachment detection

The preflight audio transcription detection used camelCase `contentType`
but Discord's APIAttachment type uses snake_case `content_type`. This
caused `hasAudioAttachment` to always be false, preventing voice message
transcription from triggering in guild channels where mention detection
requires audio preflight.

Fixes #30034

 - Tools/fsPolicy propagation: honor `tools.fs.workspaceOnly` for image/pdf local-root allowlists so non-sandbox media paths outside workspace are rejected when workspace-only mode is enabled. (#31882) Thanks @justinhuangcode.

+- Discord/audio preflight mentions: detect audio attachments via Discord `content_type` and gate preflight transcription on typed text (not media placeholders), so guild voice-note mentions are transcribed and matched correctly. (#32136) Thanks @jnMetaCode.
 - Memory/LanceDB embeddings: forward configured `embedding.dimensions` into OpenAI embeddings requests so vector size and API output dimensions stay aligned when dimensions are explicitly configured. (#32036) Thanks @scotthuang.
 - Failover/error classification: treat HTTP `529` (provider overloaded, common with Anthropic-compatible APIs) as `rate_limit` so model failover can engage instead of misclassifying the error path. (#31854) Thanks @bugkill3r.

 ### Fixes
 
+- Secrets/exec resolver timeout defaults: use provider `timeoutMs` as the default inactivity (`noOutputTimeoutMs`) watchdog for exec secret providers, preventing premature no-output kills for resolvers that start producing output after 2s. (#32235) Thanks @bmendonca3.
 - Auto-reply/inline command cleanup: preserve newline structure when stripping inline `/status` and extracting inline slash commands by collapsing only horizontal whitespace, preventing paragraph flattening in multi-line replies. (#32224) Thanks @scoootscooob.
 - macOS/LaunchAgent security defaults: write `Umask=63` (octal `077`) into generated gateway launchd plists so post-update service reinstalls keep owner-only file permissions by default instead of falling back to system `022`. (#32022) Fixes #31905. Thanks @liuxiaopai-ai.
 - Plugin SDK/runtime hardening: add package export verification in CI/release checks to catch missing runtime exports before publish-time regressions. (#28575) Thanks @Glucksberg.

 - Media understanding/audio transcription guard: skip tiny/empty audio files (<1024 bytes) before provider/CLI transcription to avoid noisy invalid-audio failures and preserve clean fallback behavior. (#8388) Thanks @Glucksberg.
 - OpenAI media capabilities: include `audio` in the OpenAI provider capability list so audio transcription models are eligible in media-understanding provider selection. (#12717) Thanks @openjay.
 - Security/Node exec approvals: preserve shell/dispatch-wrapper argv semantics during approval hardening so approved wrapper commands (for example `env sh -c ...`) cannot drift into a different runtime command shape, and add regression coverage for both approval-plan generation and approved runtime execution paths. Thanks @tdjackey for reporting.
+- Security/ACP sandbox inheritance: enforce fail-closed runtime guardrails for `sessions_spawn` with `runtime="acp"` by rejecting ACP spawns from sandboxed requester sessions and rejecting `sandbox="require"` for ACP runtime, preventing sandbox-boundary bypass via host-side ACP initialization. (#32254) Thanks @dutifulbob.
 - Browser/Security output boundary hardening: replace check-then-rename output commits with root-bound fd-verified writes, unify install/skills canonical path-boundary checks, and add regression coverage for symlink-rebind race paths across browser output and shared fs-safe write flows. Thanks @tdjackey for reporting.
 - Security/Webhook request hardening: enforce auth-before-body parsing for BlueBubbles and Google Chat webhook handlers, add strict pre-auth body/time budgets for webhook auth paths (including LINE signature verification), and add shared in-flight/request guardrails plus regression tests/lint checks to prevent reintroducing unauthenticated slow-body DoS patterns. Thanks @GCXWLP for reporting.
 - Gateway/Security hardening: tie loopback-origin dev allowance to actual local socket clients (not Host header claims), add explicit warnings/metrics when `gateway.controlUi.dangerouslyAllowHostHeaderOriginFallback` accepts websocket origins, harden safe-regex detection for quantified ambiguous alternation patterns (for example `(a|aa)+`), and bound large regex-evaluation inputs for session-filter and log-redaction paths.

 ### Fixes
 
+- Gateway/OpenAI chat completions: honor `x-openclaw-message-channel` when building `agentCommand` input for `/v1/chat/completions`, preserving caller channel identity instead of forcing `webchat`. (#30462) Thanks @bmendonca3.
 - Secrets/exec resolver timeout defaults: use provider `timeoutMs` as the default inactivity (`noOutputTimeoutMs`) watchdog for exec secret providers, preventing premature no-output kills for resolvers that start producing output after 2s. (#32235) Thanks @bmendonca3.
 - Auto-reply/inline command cleanup: preserve newline structure when stripping inline `/status` and extracting inline slash commands by collapsing only horizontal whitespace, preventing paragraph flattening in multi-line replies. (#32224) Thanks @scoootscooob.
 - macOS/LaunchAgent security defaults: write `Umask=63` (octal `077`) into generated gateway launchd plists so post-update service reinstalls keep owner-only file permissions by default instead of falling back to system `022`. (#32022) Fixes #31905. Thanks @liuxiaopai-ai.

Subject: [PATCH 257/467] fix(signal): fall back to
 toolContext.currentMessageId for reactions

Signal reactions required an explicit messageId parameter, unlike
Telegram which already fell back to toolContext.currentMessageId.
This made agent-initiated reactions fail on Signal because the
inbound message ID was available in tool context but never used.

- Destructure toolContext in Signal action handler
- Fall back to toolContext.currentMessageId when messageId omitted
- Update reaction schema descriptions (not Telegram-specific)
- Add tests for fallback and missing-messageId rejection

Closes #17651

Subject: [PATCH 258/467] fix(followup): pass currentChannelId to queued
 message agent runs

The followup runner (which processes queued messages) was calling
runEmbeddedPiAgent without currentChannelId or currentThreadTs.
This meant the message tool's toolContext had no channel routing
info, causing reactions (and other target-inferred actions) to
fail with 'Action react requires a target' on queued messages.

Pass originatingTo as currentChannelId so the message tool can
infer the reaction target from context, matching the behavior
of the initial (non-queued) agent run.

Subject: [PATCH 260/467] fix(sandbox): make /workspace bind mount read-only
 when workspaceAccess is not rw

This ensures that when workspaceAccess is set to 'ro' or 'none', the
sandbox workspace (/workspace inside the container) is mounted as
read-only, matching the documented behavior.

Previously, the condition was:
  workspaceAccess === 'ro' && workspaceDir === agentWorkspaceDir

This was always false in 'ro' mode because workspaceDir equals
sandboxWorkspaceDir, not agentWorkspaceDir.

Now the logic is simplified:
  - 'rw': /workspace is writable
  - 'ro': /workspace is read-only
  - 'none': /workspace is read-only

Subject: [PATCH 261/467] fix(sandbox): same fix for browser.ts - make
 /workspace bind mount read-only when workspaceAccess is not rw

The identical buggy logic from docker.ts also exists in browser.ts.
Applying the same fix here.

 ### Fixes
 
+- Sandbox/workspace mount permissions: make primary `/workspace` bind mounts read-only whenever `workspaceAccess` is not `rw` (including `none`) across both core sandbox container and sandbox browser create flows. (#32227) Thanks @guanyu-zhang.
+- Signal/message actions: allow `react` to fall back to `toolContext.currentMessageId` when `messageId` is omitted, matching Telegram behavior and unblocking agent-initiated reactions on inbound turns. (#32217) Thanks @dunamismax.
 - Gateway/OpenAI chat completions: honor `x-openclaw-message-channel` when building `agentCommand` input for `/v1/chat/completions`, preserving caller channel identity instead of forcing `webchat`. (#30462) Thanks @bmendonca3.
 - Secrets/exec resolver timeout defaults: use provider `timeoutMs` as the default inactivity (`noOutputTimeoutMs`) watchdog for exec secret providers, preventing premature no-output kills for resolvers that start producing output after 2s. (#32235) Thanks @bmendonca3.
 - Feishu/File upload filenames: percent-encode non-ASCII/special-character `file_name` values in Feishu multipart uploads so Chinese/symbol-heavy filenames are sent as proper attachments instead of plain text links. (#31179) Thanks @Kay-051.

Subject: [PATCH 263/467] fix(skills): scope skill-command APIs to respect
 agent allowlists (#32155)

* refactor(skills): use explicit skill-command scope APIs

* test(skills): cover scoped listing and telegram allowlist

* fix(skills): add mergeSkillFilters edge-case tests and simplify dead code

Cover unrestricted-co-tenant and empty-allowlist merge paths in
skill-commands tests. Remove dead ternary in bot-handlers pagination.
Add clarifying comments on undefined vs [] filter semantics.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>

* refactor(skills): collapse scope functions into single listSkillCommandsForAgents

Replace listSkillCommandsForAgentIds, listSkillCommandsForAllAgents, and
the deprecated listSkillCommandsForAgents with a single function that
accepts optional agentIds and falls back to all agents when omitted.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>

* fix(skills): harden realpathSync race and add missing test coverage

- Wrap fs.realpathSync in try-catch to gracefully skip workspaces that
  disappear between existsSync and realpathSync (TOCTOU race).
- Log verbose diagnostics for missing/unresolvable workspace paths.
- Add test for overlapping allowlists deduplication on shared workspaces.
- Add test for graceful skip of missing workspaces.
- Add test for pagination callback without agent suffix (default agent).
- Clean up temp directories in skill-commands tests.

* fix(telegram): warn when nativeSkillsEnabled but no agent route is bound

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>

* fix: use runtime.log instead of nonexistent runtime.warn

 - Telegram/DM streaming: use `sendMessageDraft` for private preview streaming, keep reasoning/answer preview lanes separated in DM reasoning-stream mode. (#31824) Thanks @obviyus.
 - Telegram/voice mention gating: add optional `disableAudioPreflight` on group/topic config to skip mention-detection preflight transcription for inbound voice notes where operators want text-only mention checks. (#23067) Thanks @yangnim21029.
 - Hooks/message lifecycle: add internal hook events `message:transcribed` and `message:preprocessed`, plus richer outbound `message:sent` context (`isGroup`, `groupId`) for group-conversation correlation and post-transcription automations. (#9859) Thanks @Drickon.
+- Telegram/Streaming defaults: default `channels.telegram.streaming` to `partial` (from `off`) so new Telegram setups get live preview streaming out of the box, with runtime fallback to message-edit preview when native drafts are unavailable.
 - CLI/Config validation: add `openclaw config validate` (with `--json`) to validate config files before gateway startup, and include detailed invalid-key paths in startup invalid-config errors. (#31220) thanks @Sid-Qin.
 - Tools/Diffs: add PDF file output support and rendering quality customization controls (`fileQuality`, `fileScale`, `fileMaxWidth`) for generated diff artifacts, and document PDF as the preferred option when messaging channels compress images. (#31342) Thanks @gumadeiras.
 - README/Contributors: rank contributor avatars by composite score (commits + merged PRs + code LOC), excluding docs-only LOC to prevent bulk-generated files from inflating rankings. (#23970) Thanks @tyler6204.

+  <Accordion title="Live stream preview (native drafts + message edits)">
+    OpenClaw can stream partial replies in real time:
+
+    - direct chats: Telegram native draft streaming via `sendMessageDraft`
+    - groups/topics: preview message + `editMessageText`
 
     Requirement:
 
-    - `channels.telegram.streaming` is `off | partial | block | progress` (default: `off`)
+    - `channels.telegram.streaming` is `off | partial | block | progress` (default: `partial`)
     - `progress` maps to `partial` on Telegram (compat with cross-channel naming)
     - legacy `channels.telegram.streamMode` and boolean `streaming` values are auto-mapped
 
-    This works in direct chats and groups/topics.
+    Telegram enabled `sendMessageDraft` for all bots in Bot API 9.5 (March 1, 2026).
 
-    For text-only replies, OpenClaw keeps the same preview message and performs a final edit in place (no second message).
+    For text-only replies:
+
+    - DM: OpenClaw updates the draft in place (no extra preview message)
+    - group/topic: OpenClaw keeps the same preview message and performs a final edit in place (no second message)
 
     For complex replies (for example media payloads), OpenClaw falls back to normal final delivery and then cleans up the preview message.
 
     Preview streaming is separate from block streaming. When block streaming is explicitly enabled for Telegram, OpenClaw skips the preview stream to avoid double-streaming.
 
+    If native draft transport is unavailable/rejected, OpenClaw automatically falls back to `sendMessage` + `editMessageText`.

 ### Fixes
 
+- Feishu/Lark private DM routing: treat inbound `chat_type: "private"` as direct-message context for pairing/mention-forward/reaction synthetic handling so Lark private chats behave like Feishu p2p DMs. (#31400) Thanks @stakeswky.
 - Sandbox/workspace mount permissions: make primary `/workspace` bind mounts read-only whenever `workspaceAccess` is not `rw` (including `none`) across both core sandbox container and sandbox browser create flows. (#32227) Thanks @guanyu-zhang.
 - Signal/message actions: allow `react` to fall back to `toolContext.currentMessageId` when `messageId` is omitted, matching Telegram behavior and unblocking agent-initiated reactions on inbound turns. (#32217) Thanks @dunamismax.
 - Gateway/OpenAI chat completions: honor `x-openclaw-message-channel` when building `agentCommand` input for `/v1/chat/completions`, preserving caller channel identity instead of forcing `webchat`. (#30462) Thanks @bmendonca3.

@@ -107,6 +107,7 @@ Docs: https://docs.openclaw.ai
 - Browser/Act request compatibility: accept legacy flattened `action="act"` params (`kind/ref/text/...`) in addition to `request={...}` so browser act calls no longer fail with `request required`. (#15120) Thanks @vincentkoc.
 - Browser/Extension relay stale tabs: evict stale cached targets from `/json/list` when extension targets are destroyed/crashed or commands fail with missing target/session errors. (#6175) Thanks @vincentkoc.
 - CLI/Browser start timeout: honor `openclaw browser --timeout <ms> start` and stop by removing the fixed 15000ms override so slower Chrome startups can use caller-provided timeouts. (#22412, #23427) Thanks @vincentkoc.
+- Browser/CDP status accuracy: require a successful `Browser.getVersion` response over the CDP websocket (not just socket-open) before reporting `cdpReady`, so stale idle command channels are surfaced as unhealthy. (#23427) Thanks @vincentkoc.
 - Browser/CDP startup diagnostics: include Chrome stderr output and a Linux no-sandbox hint in startup timeout errors so failed launches are easier to diagnose. (#29312) Thanks @veast.
 - Browser/CDP startup readiness: wait for CDP websocket readiness after launching Chrome and cleanly stop/reset when readiness never arrives, reducing follow-up `PortInUseError` races after `browser start`/`open`. (#29538) Thanks @AaronWander.
 - Browser/Managed tab cap: limit loopback managed `openclaw` page tabs to 8 via best-effort cleanup after tab opens to reduce long-running renderer buildup while preserving attach-only and remote profile behavior. (#29724) Thanks @pandego.

 (openclaw#31548) thanks @bertonhan

Verified:
- pnpm install --frozen-lockfile
- pnpm build
- pnpm check (fails on unrelated pre-existing lint in ui/src/ui/views/agents-utils.ts and src/pairing/pairing-store.ts)
- pnpm test:macmini (previous run passed before rebase)

 - macOS/PeekabooBridge: add compatibility socket symlinks for legacy `clawdbot`, `clawdis`, and `moltbot` Application Support socket paths so pre-rename clients can still connect. (#6033) Thanks @lumpinif and @vincentkoc.
 - Feishu/Duplicate replies: suppress same-target reply dispatch when message-tool sends use generic provider metadata (`provider: "message"`) and normalize `lark`/`feishu` provider aliases during duplicate-target checks, preventing double-delivery in Feishu sessions. (#31526)
 - Feishu/Plugin sdk compatibility: add safe webhook default fallbacks when loading Feishu monitor state so mixed-version installs no longer crash if older `openclaw/plugin-sdk` builds omit webhook default constants. (#31606)
+- Feishu/Inbound debounce: debounce rapid same-chat sender bursts into one ordered dispatch turn, skip already-processed retries when composing merged text, and preserve bot-mention intent across merged entries to reduce duplicate or late inbound handling. (#31548)
 - BlueBubbles/Message metadata: harden send response ID extraction, include sender identity in DM context, and normalize inbound `message_id` selection to avoid duplicate ID metadata. (#23970) Thanks @tyler6204.
 - Docker/Image health checks: add Dockerfile `HEALTHCHECK` that probes gateway `GET /healthz` so container runtimes can mark unhealthy instances without requiring auth credentials in the probe command. (#11478) Thanks @U-C4N and @vincentkoc.
 - Docker/Sandbox bootstrap hardening: make `OPENCLAW_SANDBOX` opt-in parsing explicit (`1|true|yes|on`), support custom Docker socket paths via `OPENCLAW_DOCKER_SOCKET`, defer docker.sock exposure until sandbox prerequisites pass, and reset/roll back persisted sandbox mode to `off` when setup is skipped or partially fails to avoid stale broken sandbox state. (#29974) Thanks @jamtujest and @vincentkoc.

Subject: [PATCH 273/467] fix(hooks): propagate ephemeral sessionId through
 embedded tool contexts (#32273)
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

* fix(plugins): expose ephemeral sessionId in tool contexts for per-conversation isolation

The plugin tool context (`OpenClawPluginToolContext`) and tool hook
context (`PluginHookToolContext`) only provided `sessionKey`, which
is a durable channel identifier that survives /new and /reset.
Plugins like mem0 that need per-conversation isolation (e.g. mapping
Mem0 `run_id`) had no way to distinguish between conversations,
causing session-scoped memories to persist unbounded across resets.

Add `sessionId` (ephemeral UUID regenerated on /new and /reset) to:
- `OpenClawPluginToolContext` (factory context for plugin tools)
- `PluginHookToolContext` (before_tool_call / after_tool_call hooks)
- Internal `HookContext` for tool call wrappers

Thread the value from the run attempt through createOpenClawCodingTools
→ createOpenClawTools → resolvePluginTools and through the tool hook
wrapper.

Closes #31253

Made-with: Cursor

* fix(agents): propagate embedded sessionId through tool hook context

* test(hooks): cover sessionId in embedded tool hook contexts

* docs(changelog): add sessionId hook context follow-up note

* test(hooks): avoid toolCallId collision in after_tool_call e2e

@@ -64,6 +64,7 @@ Docs: https://docs.openclaw.ai
 - Exec approvals/allowlist matching: escape regex metacharacters in path-pattern literals (while preserving glob wildcards), preventing crashes on allowlisted executables like `/usr/bin/g++` and correctly matching mixed wildcard/literal token paths. (#32162) Thanks @stakeswky.
 - Agents/tool-result guard: always clear pending tool-call state on interruptions even when synthetic tool results are disabled, preventing orphaned tool-use transcripts that cause follow-up provider request failures. (#32120) Thanks @jnMetaCode.
 - Hooks/after_tool_call: include embedded session context (`sessionKey`, `agentId`) and fire the hook exactly once per tool execution by removing duplicate adapter-path dispatch in embedded runs. (#32201) Thanks @jbeno, @scoootscooob, @vincentkoc.
+- Hooks/session-scoped memory context: expose ephemeral `sessionId` in embedded plugin tool contexts and `before_tool_call`/`after_tool_call` hook contexts (including compaction and client-tool wiring) so plugins can isolate per-conversation state across `/new` and `/reset`. Related #31253 and #31304. Thanks @Sid-Qin and @Servo-AIpex.
 - Webchat/stream finalization: persist streamed assistant text when final events omit `message`, while keeping final payload precedence and skipping empty stream buffers to prevent disappearing replies after tool turns. (#31920) Thanks @Sid-Qin.
 - Cron/store migration: normalize legacy cron jobs with string `schedule` and top-level `command`/`timeout` fields into canonical schedule/payload/session-target shape on load, preventing schedule-error loops on old persisted stores. (#31926) Thanks @bmendonca3.
 - Gateway/Heartbeat model reload: treat `models.*` and `agents.defaults.model` config updates as heartbeat hot-reload triggers so heartbeat picks up model changes without a full gateway restart. (#32046) Thanks @stakeswky.

 - Feishu/Duplicate replies: suppress same-target reply dispatch when message-tool sends use generic provider metadata (`provider: "message"`) and normalize `lark`/`feishu` provider aliases during duplicate-target checks, preventing double-delivery in Feishu sessions. (#31526)
 - Feishu/Plugin sdk compatibility: add safe webhook default fallbacks when loading Feishu monitor state so mixed-version installs no longer crash if older `openclaw/plugin-sdk` builds omit webhook default constants. (#31606)
 - Feishu/Inbound debounce: debounce rapid same-chat sender bursts into one ordered dispatch turn, skip already-processed retries when composing merged text, and preserve bot-mention intent across merged entries to reduce duplicate or late inbound handling. (#31548)
+- Feishu/Inbound ordering: serialize message handling per chat while preserving cross-chat concurrency to avoid same-chat race drops under bursty inbound traffic. (#31807)
 - BlueBubbles/Message metadata: harden send response ID extraction, include sender identity in DM context, and normalize inbound `message_id` selection to avoid duplicate ID metadata. (#23970) Thanks @tyler6204.
 - Docker/Image health checks: add Dockerfile `HEALTHCHECK` that probes gateway `GET /healthz` so container runtimes can mark unhealthy instances without requiring auth credentials in the probe command. (#11478) Thanks @U-C4N and @vincentkoc.
 - Docker/Sandbox bootstrap hardening: make `OPENCLAW_SANDBOX` opt-in parsing explicit (`1|true|yes|on`), support custom Docker socket paths via `OPENCLAW_DOCKER_SOCKET`, defer docker.sock exposure until sandbox prerequisites pass, and reset/roll back persisted sandbox mode to `off` when setup is skipped or partially fails to avoid stale broken sandbox state. (#29974) Thanks @jamtujest and @vincentkoc.

@@ -49,6 +49,7 @@ Docs: https://docs.openclaw.ai
 - Gateway/Security hardening: tie loopback-origin dev allowance to actual local socket clients (not Host header claims), add explicit warnings/metrics when `gateway.controlUi.dangerouslyAllowHostHeaderOriginFallback` accepts websocket origins, harden safe-regex detection for quantified ambiguous alternation patterns (for example `(a|aa)+`), and bound large regex-evaluation inputs for session-filter and log-redaction paths.
 - Security/Skills archive extraction: unify tar extraction safety checks across tar.gz and tar.bz2 install flows, enforce tar compressed-size limits, and fail closed if tar.bz2 archives change between preflight and extraction to prevent bypasses of entry-type/size guardrails. Thanks @GCXWLP for reporting.
 - Security/Web tools SSRF guard: keep DNS pinning for untrusted `web_fetch` and citation-redirect URL checks when proxy env vars are set, and require explicit dangerous opt-in before env-proxy routing can bypass pinned dispatch for trusted/operator-controlled endpoints. Thanks @tdjackey for reporting.
+- Security/Nodes camera URL downloads: bind node `camera.snap`/`camera.clip` URL payload downloads to the resolved node host, enforce fail-closed behavior when node `remoteIp` is unavailable, and use SSRF-guarded fetch with redirect host/protocol checks to prevent off-node fetch pivots. Thanks @tdjackey for reporting.
 - Gateway/Security canonicalization hardening: decode plugin route path variants to canonical fixpoint (with bounded depth), fail closed on canonicalization anomalies, and enforce gateway auth for deeply encoded `/api/channels/*` variants to prevent alternate-path auth bypass through plugin handlers. Thanks @tdjackey for reporting.
 - Security/Prompt spoofing hardening: stop injecting queued runtime events into user-role prompt text, route them through trusted system-prompt context, and neutralize inbound spoof markers like `[System Message]` and line-leading `System:` in untrusted message content. (#30448)
 - Auto-reply/followup queue: avoid stale callback reuse across idle-window restarts by caching the followup runner only when a drain actually starts, preserving enqueue ordering after empty-finalize paths. (#31902) Thanks @Lanfei.

 - Security/Node exec approvals: preserve shell/dispatch-wrapper argv semantics during approval hardening so approved wrapper commands (for example `env sh -c ...`) cannot drift into a different runtime command shape, and add regression coverage for both approval-plan generation and approved runtime execution paths. Thanks @tdjackey for reporting.
-- Security/ACP sandbox inheritance: enforce fail-closed runtime guardrails for `sessions_spawn` with `runtime="acp"` by rejecting ACP spawns from sandboxed requester sessions and rejecting `sandbox="require"` for ACP runtime, preventing sandbox-boundary bypass via host-side ACP initialization. (#32254) Thanks @dutifulbob.

(#32254) Thanks @tdjackey for reporting, and @dutifulbob for the fix.
 - Browser/Security output boundary hardening: replace check-then-rename output commits with root-bound fd-verified writes, unify install/skills canonical path-boundary checks, and add regression coverage for symlink-rebind race paths across browser output and shared fs-safe write flows. Thanks @tdjackey for reporting.
 - Security/Webhook request hardening: enforce auth-before-body parsing for BlueBubbles and Google Chat webhook handlers, add strict pre-auth body/time budgets for webhook auth paths (including LINE signature verification), and add shared in-flight/request guardrails plus regression tests/lint checks to prevent reintroducing unauthenticated slow-body DoS patterns. Thanks @GCXWLP for reporting.
 - Gateway/Security hardening: tie loopback-origin dev allowance to actual local socket clients (not Host header claims), add explicit warnings/metrics when `gateway.controlUi.dangerouslyAllowHostHeaderOriginFallback` accepts websocket origins, harden safe-regex detection for quantified ambiguous alternation patterns (for example `(a|aa)+`), and bound large regex-evaluation inputs for session-filter and log-redaction paths.

 ### Fixes
 
+- Feishu/DM pairing reply target: send pairing challenge replies to `chat:<chat_id>` instead of `user:<sender_open_id>` so Lark/Feishu private chats with user-id-only sender payloads receive pairing messages reliably. (#31403) Thanks @stakeswky.
 - Feishu/Lark private DM routing: treat inbound `chat_type: "private"` as direct-message context for pairing/mention-forward/reaction synthetic handling so Lark private chats behave like Feishu p2p DMs. (#31400) Thanks @stakeswky.
 - Sandbox/workspace mount permissions: make primary `/workspace` bind mounts read-only whenever `workspaceAccess` is not `rw` (including `none`) across both core sandbox container and sandbox browser create flows. (#32227) Thanks @guanyu-zhang.
 - Signal/message actions: allow `react` to fall back to `toolContext.currentMessageId` when `messageId` is omitted, matching Telegram behavior and unblocking agent-initiated reactions on inbound turns. (#32217) Thanks @dunamismax.

Subject: [PATCH 285/467] fix(feishu): persist dedup cache across gateway
 restarts via warmup (openclaw#31605) thanks @Sid-Qin

Verified:
- pnpm install --frozen-lockfile
- pnpm build
- pnpm check
- pnpm test:macmini (fails on unrelated baseline test: src/config/config.legacy-config-detection.rejects-routing-allowfrom.test.ts)

@@ -149,6 +149,7 @@ Docs: https://docs.openclaw.ai
 - Feishu/Plugin sdk compatibility: add safe webhook default fallbacks when loading Feishu monitor state so mixed-version installs no longer crash if older `openclaw/plugin-sdk` builds omit webhook default constants. (#31606)
 - Feishu/Inbound debounce: debounce rapid same-chat sender bursts into one ordered dispatch turn, skip already-processed retries when composing merged text, and preserve bot-mention intent across merged entries to reduce duplicate or late inbound handling. (#31548)
 - Feishu/Inbound ordering: serialize message handling per chat while preserving cross-chat concurrency to avoid same-chat race drops under bursty inbound traffic. (#31807)
+- Feishu/Dedup restart resilience: warm persistent dedup state into memory on monitor startup so retry events after gateway restart stay suppressed without requiring initial on-disk probe misses. (#31605)
 - BlueBubbles/Message metadata: harden send response ID extraction, include sender identity in DM context, and normalize inbound `message_id` selection to avoid duplicate ID metadata. (#23970) Thanks @tyler6204.
 - Docker/Image health checks: add Dockerfile `HEALTHCHECK` that probes gateway `GET /healthz` so container runtimes can mark unhealthy instances without requiring auth credentials in the probe command. (#11478) Thanks @U-C4N and @vincentkoc.
 - Docker/Sandbox bootstrap hardening: make `OPENCLAW_SANDBOX` opt-in parsing explicit (`1|true|yes|on`), support custom Docker socket paths via `OPENCLAW_DOCKER_SOCKET`, defer docker.sock exposure until sandbox prerequisites pass, and reset/roll back persisted sandbox mode to `off` when setup is skipped or partially fails to avoid stale broken sandbox state. (#29974) Thanks @jamtujest and @vincentkoc.

 - macOS/LaunchAgent security defaults: write `Umask=63` (octal `077`) into generated gateway launchd plists so post-update service reinstalls keep owner-only file permissions by default instead of falling back to system `022`. (#32022) Fixes #31905. Thanks @liuxiaopai-ai.
 - Plugin SDK/runtime hardening: add package export verification in CI/release checks to catch missing runtime exports before publish-time regressions. (#28575) Thanks @Glucksberg.
 - Media understanding/provider HTTP proxy routing: pass a proxy-aware fetch function from `HTTPS_PROXY`/`HTTP_PROXY` env vars into audio/video provider calls (with graceful malformed-proxy fallback) so transcription/video requests honor configured outbound proxies. (#27093) Thanks @mcaxtr.
+- Media/MIME normalization: normalize parameterized/case-variant MIME strings in `kindFromMime` (for example `Audio/Ogg; codecs=opus`) so WhatsApp voice notes are classified as audio and routed through transcription correctly. (#32280) Thanks @Lucenx9.
 - Media understanding/malformed attachment guards: harden attachment selection and decision summary formatting against non-array or malformed attachment payloads to prevent runtime crashes on invalid inbound metadata shapes. (#28024) Thanks @claw9267.
 - Media understanding/parakeet CLI output parsing: read `parakeet-mlx` transcripts from `--output-dir/<media-basename>.txt` when txt output is requested (or default), with stdout fallback for non-txt formats. (#9177) Thanks @mac-110.
 - Media understanding/audio transcription guard: skip tiny/empty audio files (<1024 bytes) before provider/CLI transcription to avoid noisy invalid-audio failures and preserve clean fallback behavior. (#8388) Thanks @Glucksberg.

Subject: [PATCH 292/467] fix(telegram): exclude forum topic system messages
 from implicitMention

When a Telegram Forum topic is created by the bot, Telegram generates a
system message with from.id=botId and empty text.  Every subsequent user
message in that topic has reply_to_message pointing to this system
message, causing the implicitMention check to fire and bypassing
requireMention for every single message.

Add a guard that recognises system messages (is_bot=true with no text)
and excludes them from implicit mention detection, so that only genuine
replies to bot messages trigger the bypass.

Closes #32256

Subject: [PATCH 293/467] fix(telegram): also check caption for bot media
 replies

Address Greptile review feedback: bot media messages (photo/video) use
caption instead of text, so they would be incorrectly classified as
system messages.  Add !caption guard to the system message check.

Subject: [PATCH 294/467] fix: detect forum service messages by field presence,
 not text absence

Stickers, voice notes, and captionless photos from the bot also lack
text and caption fields, so the previous check incorrectly classified
them as system messages and suppressed implicitMention.

Switch to checking for Telegram's forum_topic_* / general_forum_topic_*
service-message fields which only appear on actual service messages.

 - Telegram/inbound media filenames: preserve original `file_name` metadata for document/audio/video/animation downloads (with fetch/path fallbacks), so saved inbound attachments keep sender-provided names instead of opaque Telegram file paths. (#31837) Thanks @Kay-051.
+- Telegram/implicit mention forum handling: exclude Telegram forum system service messages (`forum_topic_*`, `general_forum_topic_*`) from reply-chain implicit mention detection so `requireMention` does not get bypassed inside bot-created topic lifecycle events. (#32262) Thanks @scoootscooob.
 - Telegram/models picker callbacks: keep long model buttons selectable by falling back to compact callback payloads and resolving provider ids on selection (with provider re-prompt on ambiguity), avoiding Telegram 64-byte callback truncation failures. (#31857) Thanks @bmendonca3.
 - WhatsApp/inbound self-message context: propagate inbound `fromMe` through the web inbox pipeline and annotate direct self messages as `(self)` in envelopes so agents can distinguish owner-authored turns from contact turns. (#32167) Thanks @scoootscooob.
 - Slack/thread context payloads: only inject thread starter/history text on first thread turn for new sessions while preserving thread metadata, reducing repeated context-token bloat on long-lived thread sessions. (#32133) Thanks @sourman.

 ### Fixes
 
+- Feishu/topic session routing: use `thread_id` as topic session scope fallback when `root_id` is absent, keep first-turn topic keys stable across thread creation, and force thread replies when inbound events already carry topic/thread context. (#29788) Thanks @songyaolun.
 - Feishu/DM pairing reply target: send pairing challenge replies to `chat:<chat_id>` instead of `user:<sender_open_id>` so Lark/Feishu private chats with user-id-only sender payloads receive pairing messages reliably. (#31403) Thanks @stakeswky.
 - Feishu/Lark private DM routing: treat inbound `chat_type: "private"` as direct-message context for pairing/mention-forward/reaction synthetic handling so Lark private chats behave like Feishu p2p DMs. (#31400) Thanks @stakeswky.
 - Sandbox/workspace mount permissions: make primary `/workspace` bind mounts read-only whenever `workspaceAccess` is not `rw` (including `none`) across both core sandbox container and sandbox browser create flows. (#32227) Thanks @guanyu-zhang.

@@ -31,6 +31,7 @@ Docs: https://docs.openclaw.ai
 - Feishu/topic session routing: use `thread_id` as topic session scope fallback when `root_id` is absent, keep first-turn topic keys stable across thread creation, and force thread replies when inbound events already carry topic/thread context. (#29788) Thanks @songyaolun.
 - Feishu/DM pairing reply target: send pairing challenge replies to `chat:<chat_id>` instead of `user:<sender_open_id>` so Lark/Feishu private chats with user-id-only sender payloads receive pairing messages reliably. (#31403) Thanks @stakeswky.
 - Feishu/Lark private DM routing: treat inbound `chat_type: "private"` as direct-message context for pairing/mention-forward/reaction synthetic handling so Lark private chats behave like Feishu p2p DMs. (#31400) Thanks @stakeswky.
+- Feishu/Sender lookup permissions: suppress user-facing grant prompts for stale non-existent scope errors (`contact:contact.base:readonly`) during best-effort sender-name resolution so inbound messages continue without repeated false permission notices. (#31761)
 - Sandbox/workspace mount permissions: make primary `/workspace` bind mounts read-only whenever `workspaceAccess` is not `rw` (including `none`) across both core sandbox container and sandbox browser create flows. (#32227) Thanks @guanyu-zhang.
 - Security audit/skills workspace hardening: add `skills.workspace.symlink_escape` warning in `openclaw security audit` when workspace `skills/**/SKILL.md` resolves outside the workspace root (for example symlink-chain drift), plus docs coverage in the security glossary.
 - Signal/message actions: allow `react` to fall back to `toolContext.currentMessageId` when `messageId` is omitted, matching Telegram behavior and unblocking agent-initiated reactions on inbound turns. (#32217) Thanks @dunamismax.

Subject: [PATCH 298/467] fix(reply): suppress unscheduled-reminder note when
 session already has active cron

Before appending the "I did not schedule a reminder" guard note, check the
cron store for enabled jobs matching the current session key.  This prevents
false positives when the agent references an existing cron created in a
prior turn (e.g. "I'll ping you when it's done" while a monitoring cron is
already running).

The check only fires on the rare path where the text matches commitment
patterns AND no cron was added in the current turn, so the added I/O is
negligible.

Closes #32228

Subject: [PATCH 299/467] fix(reminder): do not suppress note when sessionKey
 is unavailable

Address Greptile review: when sessionKey is undefined the fallback
matched any enabled cron job, which could silently suppress the guard
note due to jobs from unrelated sessions.  Return false instead so the
note always appears when session scoping is not possible.

 - Gateway/Security canonicalization hardening: decode plugin route path variants to canonical fixpoint (with bounded depth), fail closed on canonicalization anomalies, and enforce gateway auth for deeply encoded `/api/channels/*` variants to prevent alternate-path auth bypass through plugin handlers. Thanks @tdjackey for reporting.
 - Security/Prompt spoofing hardening: stop injecting queued runtime events into user-role prompt text, route them through trusted system-prompt context, and neutralize inbound spoof markers like `[System Message]` and line-leading `System:` in untrusted message content. (#30448)
 - Auto-reply/followup queue: avoid stale callback reuse across idle-window restarts by caching the followup runner only when a drain actually starts, preserving enqueue ordering after empty-finalize paths. (#31902) Thanks @Lanfei.
+- Auto-reply/reminder guard note suppression: when a turn makes reminder-like commitments but schedules no new cron jobs, suppress the unscheduled-reminder warning note only if an enabled cron already exists for the same session; keep warnings for unrelated sessions, disabled jobs, or unreadable cron store paths. (#32255) Thanks @scoootscooob.
 - Cron/HEARTBEAT_OK summary leak: suppress fallback main-session enqueue for heartbeat/internal ack summaries in isolated announce mode so `HEARTBEAT_OK` noise never appears in user chat while real summaries still forward. (#32093) Thanks @scoootscooob.
 - Cron/isolated announce heartbeat suppression: treat multi-payload runs as skippable when any payload is a heartbeat ack token and no payload has media, preventing internal narration + trailing `HEARTBEAT_OK` from being delivered to users. (#32131) Thanks @adhishthite.
 - Sessions/lock recovery: reclaim orphan legacy same-PID lock files missing `starttime` when no in-process lock ownership exists, avoiding false lock timeouts after PID reuse while preserving active lock safety checks. (#32081) Thanks @bmendonca3.

Thanks @tdjackey for reporting.
 - Security/ACP sandbox inheritance: enforce fail-closed runtime guardrails for `sessions_spawn` with `runtime="acp"` by rejecting ACP spawns from sandboxed requester sessions and rejecting `sandbox="require"` for ACP runtime, preventing sandbox-boundary bypass via host-side ACP initialization. (#32254) Thanks @tdjackey for reporting, and @dutifulbob for the fix.
 - Browser/Security output boundary hardening: replace check-then-rename output commits with root-bound fd-verified writes, unify install/skills canonical path-boundary checks, and add regression coverage for symlink-rebind race paths across browser output and shared fs-safe write flows. Thanks @tdjackey for reporting.
+- Security/fs-safe write hardening: make `writeFileWithinRoot` use same-directory temp writes plus atomic rename, add post-write inode/hardlink revalidation with security warnings on boundary drift, and avoid truncating existing targets when final rename fails.
 - Security/Webhook request hardening: enforce auth-before-body parsing for BlueBubbles and Google Chat webhook handlers, add strict pre-auth body/time budgets for webhook auth paths (including LINE signature verification), and add shared in-flight/request guardrails plus regression tests/lint checks to prevent reintroducing unauthenticated slow-body DoS patterns. Thanks @GCXWLP for reporting.
 - Gateway/Security hardening: tie loopback-origin dev allowance to actual local socket clients (not Host header claims), add explicit warnings/metrics when `gateway.controlUi.dangerouslyAllowHostHeaderOriginFallback` accepts websocket origins, harden safe-regex detection for quantified ambiguous alternation patterns (for example `(a|aa)+`), and bound large regex-evaluation inputs for session-filter and log-redaction paths.
 - Security/Skills archive extraction: unify tar extraction safety checks across tar.gz and tar.bz2 install flows, enforce tar compressed-size limits, and fail closed if tar.bz2 archives change between preflight and extraction to prevent bypasses of entry-type/size guardrails. Thanks @GCXWLP for reporting.

Subject: [PATCH 303/467] test: skip chmod-dependent backup rotation tests on
 Windows
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

chmod is a no-op on Windows — file permissions always report 0o666
regardless of what was set, so asserting 0o600 will never pass.

 - Config/raw redaction safety: preserve non-sensitive literals during raw redaction round-trips, scope SecretRef redaction to secret IDs (not structural fields like `source`/`provider`), and fall back to structured raw redaction when text replacement cannot restore the original config shape. (#32174) Thanks @bmendonca3.
 - Models/Codex usage labels: infer weekly secondary usage windows from reset cadence when API window seconds are ambiguously reported as 24h, so `openclaw models status` no longer mislabels weekly limits as daily. (#31938) Thanks @bmendonca3.
 - Config/backups hardening: enforce owner-only (`0600`) permissions on rotated config backups and clean orphan `.bak.*` files outside the managed backup ring, reducing credential leakage risk from stale or permissive backup artifacts. (#31718) Thanks @YUJIE2002.
+- Tests/Windows backup rotation: skip chmod-only backup permission assertions on Windows while retaining compose/rotation/prune coverage across platforms to avoid false CI failures from Windows non-POSIX mode semantics. (#32286) Thanks @jalehman.
 - WhatsApp/inbound self-message context: propagate inbound `fromMe` through the web inbox pipeline and annotate direct self messages as `(self)` in envelopes so agents can distinguish owner-authored turns from contact turns. (#32167) Thanks @scoootscooob.
 - Webchat/silent token leak: filter assistant `NO_REPLY`-only transcript entries from `chat.history` responses and add client-side defense-in-depth guards in the chat controller so internal silent tokens never render as visible chat bubbles. (#32015) Consolidates overlap from #32183, #32082, #32045, #32052, #32172, and #32112. Thanks @ademczuk, @liuxiaopai-ai, @ningding97, @bmendonca3, and @x4v13r1120.
 - Exec approvals/allowlist matching: escape regex metacharacters in path-pattern literals (while preserving glob wildcards), preventing crashes on allowlisted executables like `/usr/bin/g++` and correctly matching mixed wildcard/literal token paths. (#32162) Thanks @stakeswky.

 ### Fixes
 
 - Feishu/topic session routing: use `thread_id` as topic session scope fallback when `root_id` is absent, keep first-turn topic keys stable across thread creation, and force thread replies when inbound events already carry topic/thread context. (#29788) Thanks @songyaolun.
+- Feishu/topic root replies: prefer `root_id` as outbound `replyTargetMessageId` when present, and parse millisecond `message_create_time` values correctly so topic replies anchor to the root message in grouped thread flows. (#29968) Thanks @bmendonca3.
 - Feishu/DM pairing reply target: send pairing challenge replies to `chat:<chat_id>` instead of `user:<sender_open_id>` so Lark/Feishu private chats with user-id-only sender payloads receive pairing messages reliably. (#31403) Thanks @stakeswky.
 - Feishu/Lark private DM routing: treat inbound `chat_type: "private"` as direct-message context for pairing/mention-forward/reaction synthetic handling so Lark private chats behave like Feishu p2p DMs. (#31400) Thanks @stakeswky.
 - Feishu/Sender lookup permissions: suppress user-facing grant prompts for stale non-existent scope errors (`contact:contact.base:readonly`) during best-effort sender-name resolution so inbound messages continue without repeated false permission notices. (#31761)

@@ -49,6 +49,7 @@ Docs: https://docs.openclaw.ai
 - Media understanding/audio transcription guard: skip tiny/empty audio files (<1024 bytes) before provider/CLI transcription to avoid noisy invalid-audio failures and preserve clean fallback behavior. (#8388) Thanks @Glucksberg.
 - OpenAI media capabilities: include `audio` in the OpenAI provider capability list so audio transcription models are eligible in media-understanding provider selection. (#12717) Thanks @openjay.
 - Security/Node exec approvals: preserve shell/dispatch-wrapper argv semantics during approval hardening so approved wrapper commands (for example `env sh -c ...`) cannot drift into a different runtime command shape, and add regression coverage for both approval-plan generation and approved runtime execution paths. Thanks @tdjackey for reporting.
+- Security/Node exec approvals: revalidate approval-bound `cwd` identity immediately before execution/forwarding and fail closed with an explicit denial when `cwd` drifts after approval hardening.
 - Security/ACP sandbox inheritance: enforce fail-closed runtime guardrails for `sessions_spawn` with `runtime="acp"` by rejecting ACP spawns from sandboxed requester sessions and rejecting `sandbox="require"` for ACP runtime, preventing sandbox-boundary bypass via host-side ACP initialization. (#32254) Thanks @tdjackey for reporting, and @dutifulbob for the fix.
 - Browser/Security output boundary hardening: replace check-then-rename output commits with root-bound fd-verified writes, unify install/skills canonical path-boundary checks, and add regression coverage for symlink-rebind race paths across browser output and shared fs-safe write flows. Thanks @tdjackey for reporting.
 - Security/fs-safe write hardening: make `writeFileWithinRoot` use same-directory temp writes plus atomic rename, add post-write inode/hardlink revalidation with security warnings on boundary drift, and avoid truncating existing targets when final rename fails.

 - Sandbox/workspace mount permissions: make primary `/workspace` bind mounts read-only whenever `workspaceAccess` is not `rw` (including `none`) across both core sandbox container and sandbox browser create flows. (#32227) Thanks @guanyu-zhang.
 - Security audit/skills workspace hardening: add `skills.workspace.symlink_escape` warning in `openclaw security audit` when workspace `skills/**/SKILL.md` resolves outside the workspace root (for example symlink-chain drift), plus docs coverage in the security glossary.
 - Signal/message actions: allow `react` to fall back to `toolContext.currentMessageId` when `messageId` is omitted, matching Telegram behavior and unblocking agent-initiated reactions on inbound turns. (#32217) Thanks @dunamismax.
+- Discord/message actions: allow `react` to fall back to `toolContext.currentMessageId` when `messageId` is omitted, matching Telegram/Signal reaction ergonomics in inbound turns.
 - Gateway/OpenAI chat completions: honor `x-openclaw-message-channel` when building `agentCommand` input for `/v1/chat/completions`, preserving caller channel identity instead of forcing `webchat`. (#30462) Thanks @bmendonca3.
 - Secrets/exec resolver timeout defaults: use provider `timeoutMs` as the default inactivity (`noOutputTimeoutMs`) watchdog for exec secret providers, preventing premature no-output kills for resolvers that start producing output after 2s. (#32235) Thanks @bmendonca3.
 - Feishu/File upload filenames: percent-encode non-ASCII/special-character `file_name` values in Feishu multipart uploads so Chinese/symbol-heavy filenames are sent as proper attachments instead of plain text links. (#31179) Thanks @Kay-051.
@@ -44,6 +45,7 @@ Docs: https://docs.openclaw.ai
 - Plugin SDK/runtime hardening: add package export verification in CI/release checks to catch missing runtime exports before publish-time regressions. (#28575) Thanks @Glucksberg.
 - Media understanding/provider HTTP proxy routing: pass a proxy-aware fetch function from `HTTPS_PROXY`/`HTTP_PROXY` env vars into audio/video provider calls (with graceful malformed-proxy fallback) so transcription/video requests honor configured outbound proxies. (#27093) Thanks @mcaxtr.
 - Media/MIME normalization: normalize parameterized/case-variant MIME strings in `kindFromMime` (for example `Audio/Ogg; codecs=opus`) so WhatsApp voice notes are classified as audio and routed through transcription correctly. (#32280) Thanks @Lucenx9.
+- Media/MIME channel parity: route Telegram/Signal/iMessage media-kind checks through normalized `kindFromMime` so mixed-case/parameterized MIME values classify consistently across message channels.
 - Media understanding/malformed attachment guards: harden attachment selection and decision summary formatting against non-array or malformed attachment payloads to prevent runtime crashes on invalid inbound metadata shapes. (#28024) Thanks @claw9267.
 - Media understanding/parakeet CLI output parsing: read `parakeet-mlx` transcripts from `--output-dir/<media-basename>.txt` when txt output is requested (or default), with stdout fallback for non-txt formats. (#9177) Thanks @mac-110.
 - Media understanding/audio transcription guard: skip tiny/empty audio files (<1024 bytes) before provider/CLI transcription to avoid noisy invalid-audio failures and preserve clean fallback behavior. (#8388) Thanks @Glucksberg.

 Notes:
 
 - `voice.tts` overrides `messages.tts` for voice playback only.
+- Voice transcript turns derive owner status from Discord `allowFrom` (or `dm.allowFrom`); non-owner speakers cannot access owner-only tools (for example `gateway` and `cron`).
 - Voice is enabled by default; set `channels.discord.voice.enabled=false` to disable it.
 - `voice.daveEncryption` and `voice.decryptionFailureTolerance` pass through to `@discordjs/voice` join options.
 - `@discordjs/voice` defaults are `daveEncryption=true` and `decryptionFailureTolerance=24` if unset.

 ### Fixes
 
+- Voice-call/Twilio inbound greeting: run answered-call initial notify greeting for Twilio instead of skipping the manager speak path, with regression coverage for both Twilio and Plivo notify flows. (#29121) Thanks @xinhuagu.
 - Feishu/topic session routing: use `thread_id` as topic session scope fallback when `root_id` is absent, keep first-turn topic keys stable across thread creation, and force thread replies when inbound events already carry topic/thread context. (#29788) Thanks @songyaolun.
 - Feishu/topic root replies: prefer `root_id` as outbound `replyTargetMessageId` when present, and parse millisecond `message_create_time` values correctly so topic replies anchor to the root message in grouped thread flows. (#29968) Thanks @bmendonca3.
 - Feishu/DM pairing reply target: send pairing challenge replies to `chat:<chat_id>` instead of `user:<sender_open_id>` so Lark/Feishu private chats with user-id-only sender payloads receive pairing messages reliably. (#31403) Thanks @stakeswky.

Subject: [PATCH 315/467] fix(voice-call): accept externally-initiated Twilio
 outbound-api calls
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

Fixes #30900 — Calls initiated directly via the Twilio REST API
(Direction=outbound-api) were rejected as "unknown call" because
processEvent only auto-registered calls with direction=inbound.
External outbound-api calls now get registered in the CallManager
so the media stream is accepted. Inbound policy checks still only
apply to true inbound calls.

Subject: [PATCH 316/467] =?UTF-8?q?fix:=20rename=20createInboundCall=20?=
 =?UTF-8?q?=E2=86=92=20createWebhookCall,=20preserve=20event=20direction?=
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

Address Greptile review: externally-initiated outbound-api calls were
stored with hardcoded direction: "inbound". Now createWebhookCall accepts
a direction parameter so the CallRecord accurately reflects the event's
actual direction. Also skip inboundGreeting for outbound calls and add a
test asserting inbound direction is preserved.

 ### Fixes
 
+- Voice-call/Twilio external outbound: auto-register webhook-first `outbound-api` calls (initiated outside OpenClaw) so media streams are accepted and call direction metadata stays accurate. (#31181) Thanks @scoootscooob.
 - Voice-call/Twilio inbound greeting: run answered-call initial notify greeting for Twilio instead of skipping the manager speak path, with regression coverage for both Twilio and Plivo notify flows. (#29121) Thanks @xinhuagu.
 - Feishu/topic session routing: use `thread_id` as topic session scope fallback when `root_id` is absent, keep first-turn topic keys stable across thread creation, and force thread replies when inbound events already carry topic/thread context. (#29788) Thanks @songyaolun.
 - Feishu/topic root replies: prefer `root_id` as outbound `replyTargetMessageId` when present, and parse millisecond `message_create_time` values correctly so topic replies anchor to the root message in grouped thread flows. (#29968) Thanks @bmendonca3.

Subject: [PATCH 318/467] fix(voice-call): retry Twilio signature verification
 without port in URL

Twilio signs webhook requests using the URL without the port component,
even when the publicUrl config includes a non-standard port. Add a fallback
that strips the port from the verification URL when initial validation fails,
matching the behavior of Twilio's official helper library.

Closes #6334

 This usually means the **MiniMax provider isn’t configured** (no provider entry
 and no MiniMax auth profile/env key found). A fix for this detection is in
 **2026.1.12** (unreleased at the time of writing). Fix by:
 
 - Upgrading to **2026.1.12** (or run from source `main`), then restarting the gateway.

+- Running `openclaw configure` and selecting **MiniMax M2.5**, or
 - Adding the `models.providers.minimax` block manually, or
 - Setting `MINIMAX_API_KEY` (or a MiniMax auth profile) so the provider can be injected.

Subject: [PATCH 325/467] fix(gateway): let non-GET requests fall through
 controlUi routing when basePath is set

When controlUiBasePath is set, classifyControlUiRequest returned
method-not-allowed (405) for all non-GET/HEAD requests under basePath,
blocking plugin webhook handlers (BlueBubbles, Mattermost, etc.) from
receiving POST requests. This is a 2026.3.1 regression.

Return not-control-ui instead, matching the empty-basePath behavior, so
requests fall through to plugin HTTP handlers. Remove the now-dead
method-not-allowed type variant, handler branch, and utility function.

Closes #31983
Closes #32275

 ### Fixes
 
+- Gateway/Control UI basePath webhook passthrough: let non-read methods under configured `controlUiBasePath` fall through to plugin routes (instead of returning Control UI 405), restoring webhook handlers behind basePath mounts. (#32311) Thanks @ademczuk.
 - Voice-call/Twilio signature verification: retry signature validation across deterministic URL port variants (with/without port) to handle mixed Twilio signing behavior behind reverse proxies and non-standard ports. (#25140) Thanks @drvoss.
 - Voice-call/Twilio external outbound: auto-register webhook-first `outbound-api` calls (initiated outside OpenClaw) so media streams are accepted and call direction metadata stays accurate. (#31181) Thanks @scoootscooob.
 - Voice-call/Twilio inbound greeting: run answered-call initial notify greeting for Twilio instead of skipping the manager speak path, with regression coverage for both Twilio and Plivo notify flows. (#29121) Thanks @xinhuagu.

 - Gateway/Control UI basePath webhook passthrough: let non-read methods under configured `controlUiBasePath` fall through to plugin routes (instead of returning Control UI 405), restoring webhook handlers behind basePath mounts. (#32311) Thanks @ademczuk.
 - Voice-call/Twilio signature verification: retry signature validation across deterministic URL port variants (with/without port) to handle mixed Twilio signing behavior behind reverse proxies and non-standard ports. (#25140) Thanks @drvoss.
+- Hooks/webhook ACK compatibility: return `200` (instead of `202`) for successful `/hooks/agent` requests so providers that require `200` (for example Forward Email) accept dispatched agent hook deliveries. (#28204) Thanks @Glucksberg.
 - Voice-call/Twilio external outbound: auto-register webhook-first `outbound-api` calls (initiated outside OpenClaw) so media streams are accepted and call direction metadata stays accurate. (#31181) Thanks @scoootscooob.
 - Voice-call/Twilio inbound greeting: run answered-call initial notify greeting for Twilio instead of skipping the manager speak path, with regression coverage for both Twilio and Plivo notify flows. (#29121) Thanks @xinhuagu.
 - Voice-call/stale call hydration: verify active calls with the provider before loading persisted in-progress calls so stale locally persisted records do not block or misroute new call handling after restarts. (#4325) Thanks @garnetlyx.

Subject: [PATCH 336/467] feat: update tlon channel/plugin to be more fully
 featured (#21208)

* feat(tlon): sync with openclaw-tlon master

- Add tlon CLI tool registration with binary lookup
- Add approval, media, settings, foreigns, story, upload modules
- Add http-api wrapper for Urbit connection patching
- Update types for defaultAuthorizedShips support
- Fix type compatibility with core plugin SDK
- Stub uploadFile (API not yet available in @tloncorp/api-beta)
- Remove incompatible test files (security, sse-client, upload)

* chore(tlon): remove dead code

Remove unused Urbit channel client files:
- channel-client.ts
- channel-ops.ts
- context.ts

These were not imported anywhere in the extension.

* feat(tlon): add image upload support via @tloncorp/api

- Import configureClient and uploadFile from @tloncorp/api
- Implement uploadImageFromUrl using uploadFile
- Configure API client before media uploads
- Update dependency to github:tloncorp/api-beta#main

* fix(tlon): restore SSRF protection with event ack tracking

- Restore context.ts and channel-ops.ts for SSRF support
- Restore sse-client.ts with urbitFetch for SSRF-protected requests
- Add event ack tracking from openclaw-tlon (acks every 20 events)
- Pass ssrfPolicy through authenticate() and UrbitSSEClient
- Fixes security regression from sync with openclaw-tlon

* fix(tlon): restore buildTlonAccountFields for allowPrivateNetwork

The inlined payload building was missing allowPrivateNetwork field,
which would prevent the setting from being persisted to config.

* fix(tlon): restore SSRF protection in probeAccount

- Restore channel-client.ts for UrbitChannelClient
- Use UrbitChannelClient with ssrfPolicy in probeAccount
- Ensures account probe respects allowPrivateNetwork setting

* feat(tlon): add ownerShip to setup flow

ownerShip should always be set as it controls who receives
approval requests and can approve/deny actions.

* chore(tlon): remove unused http-api.ts

After restoring SSRF protection, probeAccount uses UrbitChannelClient
instead of @urbit/http-api. The http-api.ts wrapper is no longer needed.

* refactor(tlon): simplify probeAccount to direct /~/name request

No channel needed - just authenticate and GET /~/name.
Removes UrbitChannelClient, keeping only UrbitSSEClient for monitor.

* chore(tlon): add logging for event acks

* chore(tlon): lower ack threshold to 5 for testing

* fix(tlon): address security review issues

- Fix SSRF in upload.ts: use urbitFetch with SSRF protection
- Fix SSRF in media.ts: use urbitFetch with SSRF protection
- Add command whitelist to tlon tool to prevent command injection
- Add getDefaultSsrFPolicy() helper for uploads/downloads

* fix(tlon): restore auth retry and add reauth on SSE reconnect

- Add authenticateWithRetry() helper with exponential backoff (restores lost logic from #39)
- Add onReconnect callback to re-authenticate when SSE stream reconnects
- Add UrbitSSEClient.updateCookie() method for proper cookie normalization on reauth

* fix(tlon): add infinite reconnect with reset after max attempts

Instead of giving up after maxReconnectAttempts, wait 10 seconds then
reset the counter and keep trying. This ensures the monitor never
permanently disconnects due to temporary network issues.

* test(tlon): restore security, sse-client, and upload tests

- security.test.ts: DM allowlist, group invite, bot mention detection, ship normalization
- sse-client.test.ts: subscription handling, cookie updates, reconnection params
- upload.test.ts: image upload with SSRF protection, error handling

* fix(tlon): restore DM partner ship extraction for proper routing

- Add extractDmPartnerShip() to extract partner from 'whom' field
- Use partner ship for routing (more reliable than essay.author)
- Explicitly ignore bot's own outbound DM events
- Log mismatch between author and partner for debugging

* chore(tlon): restore ack threshold to 20

* chore(tlon): sync slash commands support from upstream

- Add stripBotMention for proper CommandBody parsing
- Add command authorization logic for owner-only slash commands
- Add CommandAuthorized and CommandSource to context payload

* fix(tlon): resolve TypeScript errors in tests and monitor

- Store validated account url/code before closure to fix type narrowing
- Fix test type annotations for mode rules
- Add proper Response type cast in sse-client mock
- Use optional chaining for init properties

* docs(tlon): update docs for new config options and capabilities

- Document ownerShip for approval system
- Document autoAcceptDmInvites and autoAcceptGroupInvites
- Update status to reflect rich text and image support
- Add bundled skill section
- Update notes with formatting and image details
- Fix pnpm-lock.yaml conflict

* docs(tlon): fix dmAllowlist description and improve allowPrivateNetwork docs

- Correct dmAllowlist: empty means no DMs allowed (not allow all)
- Promote allowPrivateNetwork to its own section with examples
- Add warning about SSRF protection implications

* docs(tlon): clarify ownerShip is auto-authorized everywhere

- Add ownerShip to minimal config example (recommended)
- Document that owner is automatically allowed for DMs and channels
- No need to add owner to dmAllowlist or defaultAuthorizedShips

* docs(tlon): add capabilities table, troubleshooting, and config reference

Align with Matrix docs format:
- Capabilities table for quick feature reference
- Troubleshooting section with common failures
- Configuration reference with all options

* docs(tlon): fix reactions status and expand bundled skill section

- Reactions ARE supported via bundled skill (not missing)
- Add link to skill GitHub repo
- List skill capabilities: contacts, channels, groups, DMs, reactions, settings

* fix(tlon): use crypto.randomUUID instead of Math.random for channel ID

Fixes security test failure - Math.random is flagged as weak randomness.

* docs: fix markdown lint - add blank line before </Step>

* fix: address PR review issues for tlon plugin

- upload.ts: Use fetchWithSsrFGuard directly instead of urbitFetch to
  preserve full URL path when fetching external images; add release() call
- media.ts: Same fix - use fetchWithSsrFGuard for external media downloads;
  add release() call to clean up resources
- channel.ts: Use urbitFetch for poke API to maintain consistent SSRF
  protection (DNS pinning + redirect handling)
- upload.test.ts: Update mocks to use fetchWithSsrFGuard instead of urbitFetch

Addresses blocking issues from jalehman's review:
1. Fixed incorrect URL being fetched (validateUrbitBaseUrl was stripping path)
2. Fixed missing release() calls that could leak resources
3. Restored guarded fetch semantics for poke operations

* docs: add tlon changelog fragment

* style: format tlon monitor

* fix: align tlon lockfile and sse id generation

* docs: fix onboarding markdown list spacing

+## Bundled skill
+
+The Tlon plugin includes a bundled skill ([`@tloncorp/tlon-skill`](https://github.com/tloncorp/tlon-skill))
+that provides CLI access to Tlon operations:
+
+- **Contacts**: get/update profiles, list contacts
+- **Channels**: list, create, post messages, fetch history
+- **Groups**: list, create, manage members
+- **DMs**: send messages, react to messages
+- **Reactions**: add/remove emoji reactions to posts and DMs
+- **Settings**: manage plugin permissions via slash commands
+
+The skill is automatically available when the plugin is installed.
+
+## Capabilities
+
+| Feature         | Status                                  |
+| --------------- | --------------------------------------- |
+| Direct messages | ✅ Supported                            |
+| Groups/channels | ✅ Supported (mention-gated by default) |
+| Threads         | ✅ Supported (auto-replies in thread)   |
+| Rich text       | ✅ Markdown converted to Tlon format    |
+| Images          | ✅ Uploaded to Tlon storage             |

+| Native commands | ✅ Supported (owner-only by default)    |
+
+## Troubleshooting
+
+Run this ladder first:
+
+```bash
+openclaw status
+openclaw gateway status
+openclaw logs --follow
+openclaw doctor
+```
+
+Common failures:
+
+- **DMs ignored**: sender not in `dmAllowlist` and no `ownerShip` configured for approval flow.
+- **Group messages ignored**: channel not discovered or sender not authorized.
+- **Connection errors**: check ship URL is reachable; enable `allowPrivateNetwork` for local ships.
+- **Auth errors**: verify login code is current (codes rotate).
+
+## Configuration reference
+
+Full configuration: [Configuration](/gateway/configuration)
+
+Provider options:
+
+- `channels.tlon.enabled`: enable/disable channel startup.
+- `channels.tlon.ship`: bot's Urbit ship name (e.g. `~sampel-palnet`).
+- `channels.tlon.url`: ship URL (e.g. `https://sampel-palnet.tlon.network`).
+- `channels.tlon.code`: ship login code.
+- `channels.tlon.allowPrivateNetwork`: allow localhost/LAN URLs (SSRF bypass).
+- `channels.tlon.ownerShip`: owner ship for approval system (always authorized).
+- `channels.tlon.dmAllowlist`: ships allowed to DM (empty = none).
+- `channels.tlon.autoAcceptDmInvites`: auto-accept DMs from allowlisted ships.
+- `channels.tlon.autoAcceptGroupInvites`: auto-accept all group invites.
+- `channels.tlon.autoDiscoverChannels`: auto-discover group channels (default: true).
+- `channels.tlon.groupChannels`: manually pinned channel nests.
+- `channels.tlon.defaultAuthorizedShips`: ships authorized for all channels.
+- `channels.tlon.authorization.channelRules`: per-channel auth rules.
+- `channels.tlon.showModelSignature`: append model name to messages.
+
 ## Notes
 
 - Group replies require a mention (e.g. `~your-bot-ship`) to respond.
 - Thread replies: if the inbound message is in a thread, OpenClaw replies in-thread.
-- Media: `sendMedia` falls back to text + URL (no native upload).
+- Rich text: Markdown formatting (bold, italic, code, headers, lists) is converted to Tlon's native format.
+- Images: URLs are uploaded to Tlon storage and embedded as image blocks.

 ### Fixes
 
 - Gateway/Control UI basePath webhook passthrough: let non-read methods under configured `controlUiBasePath` fall through to plugin routes (instead of returning Control UI 405), restoring webhook handlers behind basePath mounts. (#32311) Thanks @ademczuk.
+- Models/config env propagation: apply `config.env.vars` before implicit provider discovery in models bootstrap so config-scoped credentials are visible to implicit provider resolution paths. (#32295) Thanks @hsiaoa.
 - Voice-call/Twilio signature verification: retry signature validation across deterministic URL port variants (with/without port) to handle mixed Twilio signing behavior behind reverse proxies and non-standard ports. (#25140) Thanks @drvoss.
 - Hooks/webhook ACK compatibility: return `200` (instead of `202`) for successful `/hooks/agent` requests so providers that require `200` (for example Forward Email) accept dispatched agent hook deliveries. (#28204) Thanks @Glucksberg.
 - Voice-call/Twilio external outbound: auto-register webhook-first `outbound-api` calls (initiated outside OpenClaw) so media streams are accepted and call direction metadata stays accurate. (#31181) Thanks @scoootscooob.

Subject: [PATCH 339/467] fix(hooks): use globalThis singleton for handler
 registry to survive bundle splitting
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

Without this fix, the bundler can emit multiple copies of internal-hooks
into separate chunks. registerInternalHook writes to one Map instance
while triggerInternalHook reads from another — resulting in hooks that
silently fire with zero handlers regardless of how many were registered.

Reproduce: load a hook via hooks.external.entries (loader reads one chunk),
then send a message:transcribed event (get-reply imports a different chunk).
The handler list is empty; the hook never runs.

Fix: use globalThis.__openclaw_internal_hook_handlers__ as a shared
singleton. All module copies check for and reuse the same Map, ensuring
registrations are always visible to triggers.

Subject: [PATCH 346/467] fix(restart): deduplicate reason line in restart
 sentinel message

When gateway.restart is triggered with a reason but no separate note,
the payload sets both message and stats.reason to the same text.
formatRestartSentinelMessage() then emits both the message line and a
redundant 'Reason: <same text>' line, doubling the restart reason in
the notification delivered to the agent session.

Skip the 'Reason:' line when stats.reason matches the already-emitted
message text. Add regression tests for both duplicate and distinct
reason scenarios.

 - Gateway/Control UI basePath webhook passthrough: let non-read methods under configured `controlUiBasePath` fall through to plugin routes (instead of returning Control UI 405), restoring webhook handlers behind basePath mounts. (#32311) Thanks @ademczuk.
 - Models/config env propagation: apply `config.env.vars` before implicit provider discovery in models bootstrap so config-scoped credentials are visible to implicit provider resolution paths. (#32295) Thanks @hsiaoa.
 - Hooks/runtime stability: keep the internal hook handler registry on a `globalThis` singleton so hook registration/dispatch remains consistent when bundling emits duplicate module copies. (#32292) Thanks @Drickon.
+- Restart sentinel formatting: avoid duplicate `Reason:` lines when restart message text already matches `stats.reason`, keeping restart notifications concise for users and downstream parsers. (#32083) Thanks @velamints2.
 - Voice-call/Twilio signature verification: retry signature validation across deterministic URL port variants (with/without port) to handle mixed Twilio signing behavior behind reverse proxies and non-standard ports. (#25140) Thanks @drvoss.
 - Hooks/webhook ACK compatibility: return `200` (instead of `202`) for successful `/hooks/agent` requests so providers that require `200` (for example Forward Email) accept dispatched agent hook deliveries. (#28204) Thanks @Glucksberg.
 - Voice-call/Twilio external outbound: auto-register webhook-first `outbound-api` calls (initiated outside OpenClaw) so media streams are accepted and call direction metadata stays accurate. (#31181) Thanks @scoootscooob.

 - Telegram/Streaming defaults: default `channels.telegram.streaming` to `partial` (from `off`) so new Telegram setups get live preview streaming out of the box, with runtime fallback to message-edit preview when native drafts are unavailable.
 - CLI/Config validation: add `openclaw config validate` (with `--json`) to validate config files before gateway startup, and include detailed invalid-key paths in startup invalid-config errors. (#31220) thanks @Sid-Qin.
+- CLI/Banner taglines: add `cli.banner.taglineMode` (`random` | `default` | `off`) to control funny tagline behavior in startup output, with docs + FAQ guidance and regression tests for config override behavior.
 - Tools/Diffs: add PDF file output support and rendering quality customization controls (`fileQuality`, `fileScale`, `fileMaxWidth`) for generated diff artifacts, and document PDF as the preferred option when messaging channels compress images. (#31342) Thanks @gumadeiras.
 - README/Contributors: rank contributor avatars by composite score (commits + merged PRs + code LOC), excluding docs-only LOC to prevent bulk-generated files from inflating rankings. (#23970) Thanks @tyler6204.

+### How do I disable funny CLI taglines
+
+Set `cli.banner.taglineMode` in config:
+
+```json5
+{
+  cli: {
+    banner: {
+      taglineMode: "off", // random | default | off
+    },
+  },
+}
+```
+
+- `off`: hides tagline text but keeps the banner title/version line.
+- `default`: uses `All your chats, one OpenClaw.` every time.
+- `random`: rotating funny/seasonal taglines (default behavior).
+- If you want no banner at all, set env `OPENCLAW_HIDE_BANNER=1`.
+
 ### How do I enable web search and web fetch
 
 `web_fetch` works without an API key. `web_search` requires a Brave Search API

Subject: [PATCH 349/467] fix(test): resolve Feishu hoisted mock export syntax
 error (#32128)

- Remove vi.hoisted() wrapper from exported mock in shared module
  (Vitest cannot export hoisted variables)
- Inline vi.hoisted + vi.mock in startup test so Vitest's per-file
  hoisting registers mocks before production imports

 ### Changes
 
+- Models/MiniMax: add first-class `MiniMax-M2.5-highspeed` support across built-in provider catalogs, onboarding flows, and MiniMax OAuth plugin defaults, while keeping legacy `MiniMax-M2.5-Lightning` compatibility for existing configs.
+- Docs/Models: refresh MiniMax, Moonshot (Kimi), GLM/Z.AI model docs to align with latest defaults (`MiniMax-M2.5`, `MiniMax-M2.5-highspeed`, `moonshot/kimi-k2.5`, `zai/glm-5`) and keep Moonshot model lists synced from shared source data.
 - Outbound adapters/plugins: add shared `sendPayload` support across direct-text-media, Discord, Slack, WhatsApp, Zalo, and Zalouser with multi-media iteration and chunk-aware text fallback. (#30144) Thanks @nohat.
 - Media understanding/audio echo: add optional `tools.media.audio.echoTranscript` + `echoFormat` to send a pre-agent transcript confirmation message to the originating chat, with echo disabled by default. (#32150) Thanks @AytuncYildizli.
 - Plugin runtime/STT: add `api.runtime.stt.transcribeAudioFile(...)` so extensions can transcribe local audio files through OpenClaw's configured media-understanding audio providers. (#22402) Thanks @benthecarman.

 ### Fixes
 
+- OpenAI/Responses WebSocket tool-call id hygiene: normalize blank/whitespace streamed tool-call ids before persistence, and block empty `function_call_output.call_id` payloads in the WS conversion path to avoid OpenAI 400 errors (`Invalid 'input[n].call_id': empty string`), with regression coverage for both inbound stream normalization and outbound payload guards.
 - Gateway/Control UI basePath webhook passthrough: let non-read methods under configured `controlUiBasePath` fall through to plugin routes (instead of returning Control UI 405), restoring webhook handlers behind basePath mounts. (#32311) Thanks @ademczuk.
 - Models/config env propagation: apply `config.env.vars` before implicit provider discovery in models bootstrap so config-scoped credentials are visible to implicit provider resolution paths. (#32295) Thanks @hsiaoa.
 - Hooks/runtime stability: keep the internal hook handler registry on a `globalThis` singleton so hook registration/dispatch remains consistent when bundling emits duplicate module copies. (#32292) Thanks @Drickon.

 - **BREAKING:** Zalo Personal plugin (`@openclaw/zalouser`) no longer depends on external `zca`-compatible CLI binaries (`openzca`, `zca-cli`) for runtime send/listen/login; operators should use `openclaw channels login --channel zalouser` after upgrade to refresh sessions in the new JS-native path.

Subject: [PATCH 361/467] fix(discord): resample audio to 48kHz for voice
 messages (#32298)

Fixes #32293: Discord voice message plays at ~0.5x speed with 24kHz TTS source

When TTS providers (like mlx-audio Qwen3-TTS) output audioHz,
Discord voice at 24k messages play at half speed because Discord expects 48kHz.

This fix adds explicit sample rate conversion to 48kHz in the ensureOggOpus
function, ensuring voice messages always play at correct speed regardless
of the input audio's sample rate.

Subject: [PATCH 362/467] fix(memoryFlush): guard transcript-size forced flush
 against repeated runs (#32358)
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

The `forceFlushTranscriptBytes` path (introduced in d729ab21) bypasses the
`memoryFlushCompactionCount` guard that prevents repeated flushes within the
same compaction cycle. Once the session transcript exceeds 2 MB, memory flush
fires on every single message — even when token count is well under the
compaction threshold.

Extract `hasAlreadyFlushedForCurrentCompaction()` from the inline guard in
`shouldRunMemoryFlush` and apply it to both the token-based and the
transcript-size trigger paths.

Fixes #32317

Subject: [PATCH 363/467] fix(telegram): use retry logic for sticker getFile
 calls (#32349)

The sticker code path called ctx.getFile() directly without retry,
unlike the non-sticker media path which uses resolveTelegramFileWithRetry
(3 attempts with jitter). This made sticker downloads vulnerable to
transient Telegram API failures, particularly in group topics where
file availability can be delayed.

Subject: [PATCH 364/467] fix(slack): restore persistent per-channel session
 routing (#32320)

Top-level channel messages were creating isolated per-message sessions because roomThreadId fell through to threadContext.messageTs whenever replyToMode was not off.

Introduced in #10686, every new channel message got its own session key (agent:...:thread:<messageTs>), breaking conversation continuity.

Fix: only derive thread-specific session keys for actual thread replies. Top-level channel messages stay on the per-channel session key regardless of replyToMode.

Fixes #32285

@@ -34,6 +34,7 @@ Docs: https://docs.openclaw.ai
 
 - OpenAI/Responses WebSocket tool-call id hygiene: normalize blank/whitespace streamed tool-call ids before persistence, and block empty `function_call_output.call_id` payloads in the WS conversion path to avoid OpenAI 400 errors (`Invalid 'input[n].call_id': empty string`), with regression coverage for both inbound stream normalization and outbound payload guards.
 - Gateway/Control UI basePath webhook passthrough: let non-read methods under configured `controlUiBasePath` fall through to plugin routes (instead of returning Control UI 405), restoring webhook handlers behind basePath mounts. (#32311) Thanks @ademczuk.
+- CLI/Config validation and routing hardening: dedupe `openclaw config validate` failures to a single authoritative report, expose allowed-values metadata/hints across core Zod and plugin AJV validation (including `--json` fields), sanitize terminal-rendered validation text, and make command-path parsing root-option-aware across preaction/route/lazy registration (including routed `config get/unset` with split root options). Thanks @gumadeiras.
 - Models/config env propagation: apply `config.env.vars` before implicit provider discovery in models bootstrap so config-scoped credentials are visible to implicit provider resolution paths. (#32295) Thanks @hsiaoa.
 - Hooks/runtime stability: keep the internal hook handler registry on a `globalThis` singleton so hook registration/dispatch remains consistent when bundling emits duplicate module copies. (#32292) Thanks @Drickon.
 - Restart sentinel formatting: avoid duplicate `Reason:` lines when restart message text already matches `stats.reason`, keeping restart notifications concise for users and downstream parsers. (#32083) Thanks @velamints2.

+
+## Native thinking mode (Moonshot)
+
+Moonshot Kimi supports binary native thinking:
+
+- `thinking: { type: "enabled" }`
+- `thinking: { type: "disabled" }`
+
+Configure it per model via `agents.defaults.models.<provider/model>.params`:
+
+```json5
+{
+  agents: {
+    defaults: {
+      models: {
+        "moonshot/kimi-k2.5": {
+          params: {

+          },
+        },
+      },
+    },
+  },
+}
+```
+
+OpenClaw also maps runtime `/think` levels for Moonshot:
+
+- `/think off` -> `thinking.type=disabled`
+- any non-off thinking level -> `thinking.type=enabled`
+
+When Moonshot thinking is enabled, `tool_choice` must be `auto` or `none`. OpenClaw normalizes incompatible `tool_choice` values to `auto` for compatibility.

Subject: [PATCH 377/467] fix(cron): let resolveOutboundTarget handle missing
 delivery target fallback

The cron delivery path short-circuits with an error when `toCandidate` is
falsy (line 151), before reaching `resolveOutboundTarget()` which provides
the `plugin.config.resolveDefaultTo()` fallback. The direct send path in
`targets.ts` already uses this fallback correctly.

Remove the early `!toCandidate` exit so that `resolveOutboundTarget()`
can attempt the plugin-provided default. Guard the WhatsApp allowFrom
override against falsy `toCandidate` to maintain existing behavior when
a target IS resolved.

Fixes #32355

Subject: [PATCH 378/467] fix(discord): push connected status when gateway is
 already connected at lifecycle start

When the Discord gateway completes its READY handshake before
`runDiscordGatewayLifecycle` registers its debug event listener, the
initial "WebSocket connection opened" event is missed. This leaves
`connected` as undefined in the channel runtime, causing the health
monitor to treat the channel as "stuck" and restart it every check
cycle.

Check `gateway.isConnected` immediately after registering the debug
listener and push the initial connected status if the gateway is
already connected.

Subject: [PATCH 379/467] fix: guard isConnected check against already-aborted
 signal

When abortSignal is already aborted at lifecycle start, onAbort() fires
synchronously and pushes connected: false. Without a lifecycleStopping
guard, the subsequent gateway.isConnected check could push a spurious
connected: true, contradicting the shutdown.

Adds !lifecycleStopping to the isConnected guard and a test verifying
no connected: true is emitted when the signal is pre-aborted.

Subject: [PATCH 381/467] fix(feishu): skip typing indicator keepalive re-adds
 to prevent notification spam (#31580)

* fix(feishu): skip typing indicator keepalive re-adds to prevent notification spam

The typing keepalive loop calls addTypingIndicator() every 3 seconds,
which creates a new messageReaction.create API call each time. Feishu
treats each re-add as a new reaction event and fires a push notification,
causing users to receive repeated notifications while waiting for a
response.

Unlike Telegram/Discord where typing status expires after a few seconds,
Feishu reactions persist until explicitly removed. Skip the keepalive
re-add when a reaction already exists (reactionId is set) since there
is no need to refresh it.

Closes #28660

* Changelog: note Feishu typing keepalive suppression

 ### Fixes
 
+- Gemini schema sanitization: coerce malformed JSON Schema `properties` values (`null`, arrays, primitives) to `{}` before provider validation, preventing downstream strict-validator crashes on invalid plugin/tool schemas. (#32332) Thanks @webdevtodayjason.
 - OpenAI/Responses WebSocket tool-call id hygiene: normalize blank/whitespace streamed tool-call ids before persistence, and block empty `function_call_output.call_id` payloads in the WS conversion path to avoid OpenAI 400 errors (`Invalid 'input[n].call_id': empty string`), with regression coverage for both inbound stream normalization and outbound payload guards.
 - Gateway/Control UI basePath webhook passthrough: let non-read methods under configured `controlUiBasePath` fall through to plugin routes (instead of returning Control UI 405), restoring webhook handlers behind basePath mounts. (#32311) Thanks @ademczuk.
 - CLI/Config validation and routing hardening: dedupe `openclaw config validate` failures to a single authoritative report, expose allowed-values metadata/hints across core Zod and plugin AJV validation (including `--json` fields), sanitize terminal-rendered validation text, and make command-path parsing root-option-aware across preaction/route/lazy registration (including routed `config get/unset` with split root options). Thanks @gumadeiras.

Subject: [PATCH 390/467] fix(ui): ensure GFM tables render in WebChat markdown
 (#20410)

- Pass gfm:true + breaks:true explicitly to marked.parse() so table
  support is guaranteed even if global setOptions() is bypassed or
  reset by a future refactor (defense-in-depth)
- Add display:block + overflow-x:auto to .chat-text table so wide
  multi-column tables scroll horizontally instead of being clipped
  by the parent overflow-x:hidden chat container
- Add regression tests for GFM table rendering in markdown.test.ts

 ### Fixes
 
+- WebChat/markdown tables: ensure GitHub-flavored markdown table parsing is explicitly enabled at render time and add horizontal overflow handling for wide tables, with regression coverage for table-only and mixed text+table content. (#32365) Thanks @BlueBirdBack.
 - Feishu/default account resolution: always honor explicit `channels.feishu.defaultAccount` during outbound account selection (including top-level-credential setups where the preferred id is not present in `accounts`), instead of silently falling back to another account id. (#32253) Thanks @bmendonca3.
 - Gemini schema sanitization: coerce malformed JSON Schema `properties` values (`null`, arrays, primitives) to `{}` before provider validation, preventing downstream strict-validator crashes on invalid plugin/tool schemas. (#32332) Thanks @webdevtodayjason.
 - OpenAI/Responses WebSocket tool-call id hygiene: normalize blank/whitespace streamed tool-call ids before persistence, and block empty `function_call_output.call_id` payloads in the WS conversion path to avoid OpenAI 400 errors (`Invalid 'input[n].call_id': empty string`), with regression coverage for both inbound stream normalization and outbound payload guards.

 ### Fixes
 
+- Gateway/message tool reliability: avoid false `Unknown channel` failures when `message.*` actions receive platform-specific channel ids by falling back to `toolContext.currentChannelProvider`, and prevent health-monitor restart thrash for channels that just (re)started by adding a per-channel startup-connect grace window. (from #32367) Thanks @MunemHashmi.
 - WebChat/markdown tables: ensure GitHub-flavored markdown table parsing is explicitly enabled at render time and add horizontal overflow handling for wide tables, with regression coverage for table-only and mixed text+table content. (#32365) Thanks @BlueBirdBack.
 - Feishu/default account resolution: always honor explicit `channels.feishu.defaultAccount` during outbound account selection (including top-level-credential setups where the preferred id is not present in `accounts`), instead of silently falling back to another account id. (#32253) Thanks @bmendonca3.
 - Gemini schema sanitization: coerce malformed JSON Schema `properties` values (`null`, arrays, primitives) to `{}` before provider validation, preventing downstream strict-validator crashes on invalid plugin/tool schemas. (#32332) Thanks @webdevtodayjason.

 ### Fixes
 
 - Gateway/message tool reliability: avoid false `Unknown channel` failures when `message.*` actions receive platform-specific channel ids by falling back to `toolContext.currentChannelProvider`, and prevent health-monitor restart thrash for channels that just (re)started by adding a per-channel startup-connect grace window. (from #32367) Thanks @MunemHashmi.
+- Discord/lifecycle startup status: push an immediate `connected` status snapshot when the gateway is already connected before lifecycle debug listeners attach, with abort-guarding to avoid contradictory status flips during pre-aborted startup. (#32336) Thanks @mitchmcalister.
+- Cron/isolated delivery target fallback: remove early unresolved-target return so cron delivery can flow through shared outbound target resolution (including per-channel `resolveDefaultTo` fallback) when `delivery.to` is omitted. (#32364) Thanks @hclsys.
 - WebChat/markdown tables: ensure GitHub-flavored markdown table parsing is explicitly enabled at render time and add horizontal overflow handling for wide tables, with regression coverage for table-only and mixed text+table content. (#32365) Thanks @BlueBirdBack.
 - Feishu/default account resolution: always honor explicit `channels.feishu.defaultAccount` during outbound account selection (including top-level-credential setups where the preferred id is not present in `accounts`), instead of silently falling back to another account id. (#32253) Thanks @bmendonca3.
 - Gemini schema sanitization: coerce malformed JSON Schema `properties` values (`null`, arrays, primitives) to `{}` before provider validation, preventing downstream strict-validator crashes on invalid plugin/tool schemas. (#32332) Thanks @webdevtodayjason.

 correlation (#32360)

* Plugin SDK: add run and tool call fields to tool hooks

* Agents: propagate runId and toolCallId in before_tool_call

* Agents: thread runId through tool wrapper context

* Runner: pass runId into tool hook context

* Compaction: pass runId into tool hook context

* Agents: scope after_tool_call start data by run

* Tests: cover run and tool IDs in before_tool_call hooks

* Tests: add run-scoped after_tool_call collision coverage

* Hooks: scope adjusted tool params by run

* Tests: cover run-scoped adjusted param collisions

* Hooks: preserve active tool start metadata until end

* Changelog: add tool-hook correlation note

@@ -99,6 +99,7 @@ Docs: https://docs.openclaw.ai
 - Agents/tool-result guard: always clear pending tool-call state on interruptions even when synthetic tool results are disabled, preventing orphaned tool-use transcripts that cause follow-up provider request failures. (#32120) Thanks @jnMetaCode.
 - Hooks/after_tool_call: include embedded session context (`sessionKey`, `agentId`) and fire the hook exactly once per tool execution by removing duplicate adapter-path dispatch in embedded runs. (#32201) Thanks @jbeno, @scoootscooob, @vincentkoc.
 - Hooks/session-scoped memory context: expose ephemeral `sessionId` in embedded plugin tool contexts and `before_tool_call`/`after_tool_call` hook contexts (including compaction and client-tool wiring) so plugins can isolate per-conversation state across `/new` and `/reset`. Related #31253 and #31304. Thanks @Sid-Qin and @Servo-AIpex.
+- Hooks/tool-call correlation: include `runId` and `toolCallId` in plugin tool hook payloads/context and scope tool start/adjusted-param tracking by run to prevent cross-run collisions in `before_tool_call` and `after_tool_call`. (#32360) Thanks @vincentkoc.
 - Webchat/stream finalization: persist streamed assistant text when final events omit `message`, while keeping final payload precedence and skipping empty stream buffers to prevent disappearing replies after tool turns. (#31920) Thanks @Sid-Qin.
 - Cron/store migration: normalize legacy cron jobs with string `schedule` and top-level `command`/`timeout` fields into canonical schedule/payload/session-target shape on load, preventing schedule-error loops on old persisted stores. (#31926) Thanks @bmendonca3.
 - Gateway/Heartbeat model reload: treat `models.*` and `agents.defaults.model` config updates as heartbeat hot-reload triggers so heartbeat picks up model changes without a full gateway restart. (#32046) Thanks @stakeswky.

Subject: [PATCH 400/467] feat(plugin-sdk): Add channelRuntime support for
 external channel plugins

## Overview

This PR enables external channel plugins (loaded via Plugin SDK) to access
advanced runtime features like AI response dispatching, which were previously
only available to built-in channels.

## Changes

### src/gateway/server-channels.ts
- Import PluginRuntime type
- Add optional channelRuntime parameter to ChannelManagerOptions
- Pass channelRuntime to channel startAccount calls via conditional spread
- Ensures backward compatibility (field is optional)

### src/gateway/server.impl.ts
- Import createPluginRuntime from plugins/runtime
- Create and pass channelRuntime to channel manager

### src/channels/plugins/types.adapters.ts
- Import PluginRuntime type
- Add comprehensive documentation for channelRuntime field
- Document available features, use cases, and examples
- Improve type safety (use imported PluginRuntime type vs inline import)

## Benefits

External channel plugins can now:
- Generate AI-powered responses using dispatchReplyWithBufferedBlockDispatcher
- Access routing, text processing, and session management utilities
- Use command authorization and group policy resolution
- Maintain feature parity with built-in channels

## Backward Compatibility

- channelRuntime field is optional in ChannelGatewayContext
- Conditional spread ensures it's only passed when explicitly provided
- Existing channels without channelRuntime support continue to work unchanged
- No breaking changes to channel plugin API

## Testing

- Email channel plugin successfully uses channelRuntime for AI responses
- All existing built-in channels (slack, discord, telegram, etc.) work unchanged
- Gateway loads and runs without errors when channelRuntime is provided

+   *
+   * This field provides access to advanced Plugin SDK features that are
+   * available to external plugins but not to built-in channels (which can
+   * directly import internal modules).
+   *
+   * ## Available Features
+   *
+   * - **reply**: AI response dispatching, formatting, and delivery
+   * - **routing**: Agent route resolution and matching
+   * - **text**: Text chunking, markdown processing, and control command detection
+   * - **session**: Session management and metadata tracking
+   * - **media**: Remote media fetching and buffer saving
+   * - **commands**: Command authorization and control command handling
+   * - **groups**: Group policy resolution and mention requirements
+   * - **pairing**: Channel pairing and allow-from management
+   *
+   * ## Use Cases
+   *
+   * External channel plugins (e.g., email, SMS, custom integrations) that need:
+   * - AI-powered response generation and delivery
+   * - Advanced text processing and formatting
+   * - Session tracking and management
+   * - Agent routing and policy resolution
+   *
+   * ## Example

+   * const emailGatewayAdapter: ChannelGatewayAdapter<EmailAccount> = {
+   *   startAccount: async (ctx) => {
+   *     // Check availability (for backward compatibility)
+   *     if (!ctx.channelRuntime) {
+   *       ctx.log?.warn?.("channelRuntime not available - skipping AI features");
+   *       return;
+   *     }
+   *
+   *     // Use AI dispatch
+   *     await ctx.channelRuntime.reply.dispatchReplyWithBufferedBlockDispatcher({
+   *       ctx: { ... },
+   *       cfg: ctx.cfg,
+   *       dispatcherOptions: {

+   *         },
+   *       },
+   *     });
+   *   },
+   * };
+   * ```
+   *
+   * ## Backward Compatibility
+   *
+   * - This field is **optional** - channels that don't need it can ignore it
+   * - Built-in channels (slack, discord, etc.) typically don't use this field
+   *   because they can directly import internal modules
+   * - External plugins should check for undefined before using

 - Outbound adapters/plugins: add shared `sendPayload` support across direct-text-media, Discord, Slack, WhatsApp, Zalo, and Zalouser with multi-media iteration and chunk-aware text fallback. (#30144) Thanks @nohat.
 - Media understanding/audio echo: add optional `tools.media.audio.echoTranscript` + `echoFormat` to send a pre-agent transcript confirmation message to the originating chat, with echo disabled by default. (#32150) Thanks @AytuncYildizli.
 - Plugin runtime/STT: add `api.runtime.stt.transcribeAudioFile(...)` so extensions can transcribe local audio files through OpenClaw's configured media-understanding audio providers. (#22402) Thanks @benthecarman.
+- Plugin SDK/channel extensibility: expose `channelRuntime` on `ChannelGatewayContext` so external channel plugins can access shared runtime helpers (reply/routing/session/text/media/commands) without internal imports. (#25462) Thanks @guxiaobo.
 - Sessions/Attachments: add inline file attachment support for `sessions_spawn` (subagent runtime only) with base64/utf8 encoding, transcript content redaction, lifecycle cleanup, and configurable limits via `tools.sessions_spawn.attachments`. (#16761) Thanks @napetrov.
 - Tools/PDF analysis: add a first-class `pdf` tool with native Anthropic and Google PDF provider support, extraction fallback for non-native models, configurable defaults (`agents.defaults.pdfModel`, `pdfMaxBytesMb`, `pdfMaxPages`), and docs/tests covering routing, validation, and registration. (#31319) Thanks @tyler6204.
 - Zalo Personal plugin (`@openclaw/zalouser`): rebuilt channel runtime to use native `zca-js` integration in-process, removing external CLI transport usage and keeping QR/login + send/listen flows fully inside OpenClaw.

 - Feishu/Inbound ordering: serialize message handling per chat while preserving cross-chat concurrency to avoid same-chat race drops under bursty inbound traffic. (#31807)
 - Feishu/Dedup restart resilience: warm persistent dedup state into memory on monitor startup so retry events after gateway restart stay suppressed without requiring initial on-disk probe misses. (#31605)
 - Feishu/Typing notification suppression: skip typing keepalive reaction re-adds when the indicator is already active, preventing duplicate notification pings from repeated identical emoji adds. (#31580)
+- Feishu/Probe failure backoff: cache API and timeout probe failures for one minute per account key while preserving abort-aware probe timeouts, reducing repeated health-check retries during transient credential/network outages. (#29970)
 - BlueBubbles/Message metadata: harden send response ID extraction, include sender identity in DM context, and normalize inbound `message_id` selection to avoid duplicate ID metadata. (#23970) Thanks @tyler6204.
 - Docker/Image health checks: add Dockerfile `HEALTHCHECK` that probes gateway `GET /healthz` so container runtimes can mark unhealthy instances without requiring auth credentials in the probe command. (#11478) Thanks @U-C4N and @vincentkoc.
 - Docker/Sandbox bootstrap hardening: make `OPENCLAW_SANDBOX` opt-in parsing explicit (`1|true|yes|on`), support custom Docker socket paths via `OPENCLAW_DOCKER_SOCKET`, defer docker.sock exposure until sandbox prerequisites pass, and reset/roll back persisted sandbox mode to `off` when setup is skipped or partially fails to avoid stale broken sandbox state. (#29974) Thanks @jamtujest and @vincentkoc.

+- Plugin runtime/events: expose `runtime.events.onAgentEvent` and `runtime.events.onSessionTranscriptUpdate` for extension-side subscriptions, and isolate transcript-listener failures so one faulty listener cannot break the entire update fanout. (#16044) Thanks @scifantastic.
 - Sessions/Attachments: add inline file attachment support for `sessions_spawn` (subagent runtime only) with base64/utf8 encoding, transcript content redaction, lifecycle cleanup, and configurable limits via `tools.sessions_spawn.attachments`. (#16761) Thanks @napetrov.
 - Tools/PDF analysis: add a first-class `pdf` tool with native Anthropic and Google PDF provider support, extraction fallback for non-native models, configurable defaults (`agents.defaults.pdfModel`, `pdfMaxBytesMb`, `pdfMaxPages`), and docs/tests covering routing, validation, and registration. (#31319) Thanks @tyler6204.
 - Zalo Personal plugin (`@openclaw/zalouser`): rebuilt channel runtime to use native `zca-js` integration in-process, removing external CLI transport usage and keeping QR/login + send/listen flows fully inside OpenClaw.

Subject: [PATCH 418/467] feat(hooks): add trigger and channelId to plugin hook
 agent context (#28623)

* feat(hooks): add trigger and channelId to plugin hook agent context

Adds `trigger` and `channelId` fields to `PluginHookAgentContext` so
plugins can determine what initiated the agent run and which channel
it originated from, without session-key parsing or Redis bridging.

trigger values: "user", "heartbeat", "cron", "memory"
channelId values: "telegram", "discord", "whatsapp", etc.

Both fields are threaded through run.ts and attempt.ts hookCtx so all
hook phases receive them (before_model_resolve, before_prompt_build,
before_agent_start, llm_input, llm_output, agent_end).

channelId falls back from messageChannel to messageProvider when the
former is not set. followup-runner passes originatingChannel so queued
followup runs also carry channel context.

* docs(changelog): note hook context parity fix for #28623

 - CLI/Config validation and routing hardening: dedupe `openclaw config validate` failures to a single authoritative report, expose allowed-values metadata/hints across core Zod and plugin AJV validation (including `--json` fields), sanitize terminal-rendered validation text, and make command-path parsing root-option-aware across preaction/route/lazy registration (including routed `config get/unset` with split root options). Thanks @gumadeiras.
 - Models/config env propagation: apply `config.env.vars` before implicit provider discovery in models bootstrap so config-scoped credentials are visible to implicit provider resolution paths. (#32295) Thanks @hsiaoa.
 - Hooks/runtime stability: keep the internal hook handler registry on a `globalThis` singleton so hook registration/dispatch remains consistent when bundling emits duplicate module copies. (#32292) Thanks @Drickon.
+- Hooks/plugin context parity: ensure `llm_input` hooks in embedded attempts receive the same `trigger` and `channelId`-aware `hookCtx` used by the other hook phases, preserving channel/trigger-scoped plugin behavior. (#28623) Thanks @davidrudduck and @vincentkoc.
 - Restart sentinel formatting: avoid duplicate `Reason:` lines when restart message text already matches `stats.reason`, keeping restart notifications concise for users and downstream parsers. (#32083) Thanks @velamints2.
 - Voice-call/Twilio signature verification: retry signature validation across deterministic URL port variants (with/without port) to handle mixed Twilio signing behavior behind reverse proxies and non-standard ports. (#25140) Thanks @drvoss.
 - Hooks/webhook ACK compatibility: return `200` (instead of `202`) for successful `/hooks/agent` requests so providers that require `200` (for example Forward Email) accept dispatched agent hook deliveries. (#28204) Thanks @Glucksberg.

Subject: [PATCH 419/467] feat(plugins): expose requestHeartbeatNow on plugin
 runtime
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

Add requestHeartbeatNow to PluginRuntime.system so extensions can
trigger an immediate heartbeat wake without importing internal modules.

This enables extensions to inject a system event and wake the agent
in one step — useful for inbound message handlers that use the
heartbeat model (e.g. agent-to-agent DMs via Nostr).

Changes:
- src/plugins/runtime/types.ts: add RequestHeartbeatNow type alias
  and requestHeartbeatNow to PluginRuntime.system
- src/plugins/runtime/index.ts: import and wire requestHeartbeatNow
  into createPluginRuntime()

 - Plugin runtime/STT: add `api.runtime.stt.transcribeAudioFile(...)` so extensions can transcribe local audio files through OpenClaw's configured media-understanding audio providers. (#22402) Thanks @benthecarman.
 - Plugin SDK/channel extensibility: expose `channelRuntime` on `ChannelGatewayContext` so external channel plugins can access shared runtime helpers (reply/routing/session/text/media/commands) without internal imports. (#25462) Thanks @guxiaobo.
 - Plugin runtime/events: expose `runtime.events.onAgentEvent` and `runtime.events.onSessionTranscriptUpdate` for extension-side subscriptions, and isolate transcript-listener failures so one faulty listener cannot break the entire update fanout. (#16044) Thanks @scifantastic.
+- Plugin runtime/system: expose `runtime.system.requestHeartbeatNow(...)` so extensions can wake targeted sessions immediately after enqueueing system events. (#19464) Thanks @AustinEral.
 - Sessions/Attachments: add inline file attachment support for `sessions_spawn` (subagent runtime only) with base64/utf8 encoding, transcript content redaction, lifecycle cleanup, and configurable limits via `tools.sessions_spawn.attachments`. (#16761) Thanks @napetrov.
 - Tools/PDF analysis: add a first-class `pdf` tool with native Anthropic and Google PDF provider support, extraction fallback for non-native models, configurable defaults (`agents.defaults.pdfModel`, `pdfMaxBytesMb`, `pdfMaxPages`), and docs/tests covering routing, validation, and registration. (#31319) Thanks @tyler6204.
 - Zalo Personal plugin (`@openclaw/zalouser`): rebuilt channel runtime to use native `zca-js` integration in-process, removing external CLI transport usage and keeping QR/login + send/listen flows fully inside OpenClaw.

 - WebChat/markdown tables: ensure GitHub-flavored markdown table parsing is explicitly enabled at render time and add horizontal overflow handling for wide tables, with regression coverage for table-only and mixed text+table content. (#32365) Thanks @BlueBirdBack.
 - Feishu/default account resolution: always honor explicit `channels.feishu.defaultAccount` during outbound account selection (including top-level-credential setups where the preferred id is not present in `accounts`), instead of silently falling back to another account id. (#32253) Thanks @bmendonca3.
 - Gemini schema sanitization: coerce malformed JSON Schema `properties` values (`null`, arrays, primitives) to `{}` before provider validation, preventing downstream strict-validator crashes on invalid plugin/tool schemas. (#32332) Thanks @webdevtodayjason.
+- Models/openai-completions developer-role compatibility: force `supportsDeveloperRole=false` for non-native endpoints, treat unparseable `baseUrl` values as non-native, and add regression coverage for empty/malformed baseUrl plus explicit-true override behavior. (#29479) thanks @akramcodez.
 - OpenAI/Responses WebSocket tool-call id hygiene: normalize blank/whitespace streamed tool-call ids before persistence, and block empty `function_call_output.call_id` payloads in the WS conversion path to avoid OpenAI 400 errors (`Invalid 'input[n].call_id': empty string`), with regression coverage for both inbound stream normalization and outbound payload guards.
 - Gateway/Control UI basePath webhook passthrough: let non-read methods under configured `controlUiBasePath` fall through to plugin routes (instead of returning Control UI 405), restoring webhook handlers behind basePath mounts. (#32311) Thanks @ademczuk.
 - CLI/Config validation and routing hardening: dedupe `openclaw config validate` failures to a single authoritative report, expose allowed-values metadata/hints across core Zod and plugin AJV validation (including `--json` fields), sanitize terminal-rendered validation text, and make command-path parsing root-option-aware across preaction/route/lazy registration (including routed `config get/unset` with split root options). Thanks @gumadeiras.

@@ -14,6 +14,7 @@ Docs: https://docs.openclaw.ai
 - Plugin SDK/channel extensibility: expose `channelRuntime` on `ChannelGatewayContext` so external channel plugins can access shared runtime helpers (reply/routing/session/text/media/commands) without internal imports. (#25462) Thanks @guxiaobo.
 - Plugin runtime/events: expose `runtime.events.onAgentEvent` and `runtime.events.onSessionTranscriptUpdate` for extension-side subscriptions, and isolate transcript-listener failures so one faulty listener cannot break the entire update fanout. (#16044) Thanks @scifantastic.
 - Plugin runtime/system: expose `runtime.system.requestHeartbeatNow(...)` so extensions can wake targeted sessions immediately after enqueueing system events. (#19464) Thanks @AustinEral.
+- Plugin hooks/session lifecycle: include `sessionKey` in `session_start`/`session_end` hook events and contexts so plugins can correlate lifecycle callbacks with routing identity. (#26394) Thanks @tempeste.
 - Sessions/Attachments: add inline file attachment support for `sessions_spawn` (subagent runtime only) with base64/utf8 encoding, transcript content redaction, lifecycle cleanup, and configurable limits via `tools.sessions_spawn.attachments`. (#16761) Thanks @napetrov.
 - Tools/PDF analysis: add a first-class `pdf` tool with native Anthropic and Google PDF provider support, extraction fallback for non-native models, configurable defaults (`agents.defaults.pdfModel`, `pdfMaxBytesMb`, `pdfMaxPages`), and docs/tests covering routing, validation, and registration. (#31319) Thanks @tyler6204.
 - Zalo Personal plugin (`@openclaw/zalouser`): rebuilt channel runtime to use native `zca-js` integration in-process, removing external CLI transport usage and keeping QR/login + send/listen flows fully inside OpenClaw.

 - Models/MiniMax: add first-class `MiniMax-M2.5-highspeed` support across built-in provider catalogs, onboarding flows, and MiniMax OAuth plugin defaults, while keeping legacy `MiniMax-M2.5-Lightning` compatibility for existing configs.
 - Docs/Models: refresh MiniMax, Moonshot (Kimi), GLM/Z.AI model docs to align with latest defaults (`MiniMax-M2.5`, `MiniMax-M2.5-highspeed`, `moonshot/kimi-k2.5`, `zai/glm-5`) and keep Moonshot model lists synced from shared source data.
+- Memory/Ollama embeddings: add `memorySearch.provider = "ollama"` and `memorySearch.fallback = "ollama"` support, honor `models.providers.ollama` settings for memory embedding requests, and document Ollama embedding usage. (#26349) Thanks @nico-hoff.
 - Outbound adapters/plugins: add shared `sendPayload` support across direct-text-media, Discord, Slack, WhatsApp, Zalo, and Zalouser with multi-media iteration and chunk-aware text fallback. (#30144) Thanks @nohat.
 - Media understanding/audio echo: add optional `tools.media.audio.echoTranscript` + `echoFormat` to send a pre-agent transcript confirmation message to the originating chat, with echo disabled by default. (#32150) Thanks @AytuncYildizli.
 - Plugin runtime/STT: add `api.runtime.stt.transcribeAudioFile(...)` so extensions can transcribe local audio files through OpenClaw's configured media-understanding audio providers. (#22402) Thanks @benthecarman.

 ### Fixes
 
+- Sessions/idle reset correctness: preserve existing `updatedAt` during inbound metadata-only writes so idle-reset boundaries are not unintentionally refreshed before actual user turns. (#32379) Thanks @romeodiaz.
 - Gateway/message tool reliability: avoid false `Unknown channel` failures when `message.*` actions receive platform-specific channel ids by falling back to `toolContext.currentChannelProvider`, and prevent health-monitor restart thrash for channels that just (re)started by adding a per-channel startup-connect grace window. (from #32367) Thanks @MunemHashmi.
 - Discord/lifecycle startup status: push an immediate `connected` status snapshot when the gateway is already connected before lifecycle debug listeners attach, with abort-guarding to avoid contradictory status flips during pre-aborted startup. (#32336) Thanks @mitchmcalister.
 - Cron/isolated delivery target fallback: remove early unresolved-target return so cron delivery can flow through shared outbound target resolution (including per-channel `resolveDefaultTo` fallback) when `delivery.to` is omitted. (#32364) Thanks @hclsys.

Subject: [PATCH 439/467] fix(slack): fail fast on non-recoverable auth errors
 instead of retry loop

When a Slack bot is removed from a workspace while still configured in
OpenClaw, the gateway enters an infinite retry loop on account_inactive
or invalid_auth errors, making the entire gateway unresponsive.

Add isNonRecoverableSlackAuthError() to detect permanent credential
failures (account_inactive, invalid_auth, token_revoked, etc.) and
throw immediately instead of retrying.  This mirrors how the Telegram
provider already distinguishes recoverable network errors from fatal
auth errors via isRecoverableTelegramNetworkError().

The check is applied in both the startup catch block and the disconnect
reconnect path so stale credentials always fail fast with a clear error
message.

Closes #32366

Subject: [PATCH 441/467] fix(cli): fail fast on unsupported Node versions in
 install and runtime paths

Surface a clear Node 22.12+ requirement before npm/install bootstrap work so users avoid misleading downstream errors.

- Add installer shell preflight to block active Node <22 and suggest NVM recovery commands
- Add openclaw.mjs runtime preflight for npm/npx usage with explicit Node version guidance
- Keep messaging actionable for both NVM and non-NVM environments

Tighten installer/runtime consistency so users on Node 22.0-22.11 are blocked before install/runtime drift, with cleaner CLI guidance.

- Enforce Node >=22.12 in scripts/install.sh preflight checks
- Align installer messages to the same 22.12+ runtime floor
- Replace openclaw.mjs thrown version error with stderr+exit to avoid noisy stack traces

(from #32367) Thanks @MunemHashmi.
 - Discord/lifecycle startup status: push an immediate `connected` status snapshot when the gateway is already connected before lifecycle debug listeners attach, with abort-guarding to avoid contradictory status flips during pre-aborted startup. (#32336) Thanks @mitchmcalister.
 - Cron/isolated delivery target fallback: remove early unresolved-target return so cron delivery can flow through shared outbound target resolution (including per-channel `resolveDefaultTo` fallback) when `delivery.to` is omitted. (#32364) Thanks @hclsys.

Subject: [PATCH 444/467] fix(webui): prevent inline code from breaking
 mid-token on copy/paste

The parent `.chat-text` applies `overflow-wrap: anywhere; word-break: break-word;`
which forces long tokens (UUIDs, hashes) inside inline `<code>` to break across
visual lines. When copied, the browser injects spaces at those break points,
corrupting the pasted value.

Override with `overflow-wrap: normal; word-break: keep-all;` on inline `<code>`
selectors so tokens stay intact.

Fixes #32230

@@ -41,6 +41,7 @@ Docs: https://docs.openclaw.ai
 - Slack/socket auth failure handling: fail fast on non-recoverable auth errors (`account_inactive`, `invalid_auth`, etc.) during startup and reconnect instead of retry-looping indefinitely, including `unable_to_socket_mode_start` error payload propagation. (#32377) Thanks @scoootscooob.
 - CLI/installer Node preflight: enforce Node.js `v22.12+` consistently in both `openclaw.mjs` runtime bootstrap and installer active-shell checks, with actionable nvm recovery guidance for mismatched shell PATH/defaults. (#32356) Thanks @jasonhargrove.
 - Web UI/inline code copy fidelity: disable forced mid-token wraps on inline `<code>` spans so copied UUID/hash/token strings preserve exact content instead of inserting line-break spaces. (#32346) Thanks @hclsys.
+- Agents/host edit reliability: treat host edit-tool throws as success only when on-disk post-check confirms replacement likely happened (`newText` present and `oldText` absent), preventing false failure reports while avoiding pre-write false positives. (#32383) Thanks @polooooo.
 - Gateway/message tool reliability: avoid false `Unknown channel` failures when `message.*` actions receive platform-specific channel ids by falling back to `toolContext.currentChannelProvider`, and prevent health-monitor restart thrash for channels that just (re)started by adding a per-channel startup-connect grace window. (from #32367) Thanks @MunemHashmi.
 - Discord/lifecycle startup status: push an immediate `connected` status snapshot when the gateway is already connected before lifecycle debug listeners attach, with abort-guarding to avoid contradictory status flips during pre-aborted startup. (#32336) Thanks @mitchmcalister.
 - Cron/isolated delivery target fallback: remove early unresolved-target return so cron delivery can flow through shared outbound target resolution (including per-channel `resolveDefaultTo` fallback) when `delivery.to` is omitted. (#32364) Thanks @hclsys.

 - OpenAI/Responses WebSocket tool-call id hygiene: normalize blank/whitespace streamed tool-call ids before persistence, and block empty `function_call_output.call_id` payloads in the WS conversion path to avoid OpenAI 400 errors (`Invalid 'input[n].call_id': empty string`), with regression coverage for both inbound stream normalization and outbound payload guards.
 - Gateway/Control UI basePath webhook passthrough: let non-read methods under configured `controlUiBasePath` fall through to plugin routes (instead of returning Control UI 405), restoring webhook handlers behind basePath mounts. (#32311) Thanks @ademczuk.
 - CLI/Config validation and routing hardening: dedupe `openclaw config validate` failures to a single authoritative report, expose allowed-values metadata/hints across core Zod and plugin AJV validation (including `--json` fields), sanitize terminal-rendered validation text, and make command-path parsing root-option-aware across preaction/route/lazy registration (including routed `config get/unset` with split root options). Thanks @gumadeiras.
+- Context-window metadata warmup: add exponential config-load retry backoff (1s -> 2s -> 4s, capped at 60s) so transient startup failures recover automatically without hot-loop retries.
 - Models/config env propagation: apply `config.env.vars` before implicit provider discovery in models bootstrap so config-scoped credentials are visible to implicit provider resolution paths. (#32295) Thanks @hsiaoa.
 - Hooks/runtime stability: keep the internal hook handler registry on a `globalThis` singleton so hook registration/dispatch remains consistent when bundling emits duplicate module copies. (#32292) Thanks @Drickon.
 - Hooks/plugin context parity: ensure `llm_input` hooks in embedded attempts receive the same `trigger` and `channelId`-aware `hookCtx` used by the other hook phases, preserving channel/trigger-scoped plugin behavior. (#28623) Thanks @davidrudduck and @vincentkoc.
