 - Agents/CLI: keep `--agent` plus `--session-id` lookup scoped to the requested agent store, so explicit agent resumes cannot select another agent's session. (#70985) Thanks @frankekn.
 - Plugins/Comfy: read workflow and cloud auth configuration from `plugins.entries.comfy.config` while preserving legacy Comfy config fallback, so image, video, and music workflows pass config validation. Fixes #61915. (#63058) Thanks @547895019.
 - Gateway/secrets: restart secret-backed channels such as Slack and Zalo during `secrets.reload` so rotated webhook secrets take effect immediately, with the reload serialized and per-channel restart errors isolated. (#70720) Thanks @drobison00.
+- Plugins/tokenjuice: preserve `node_modules/tokenjuice/dist/rules/tests/*.json` during bundled plugin runtime staging so the plugin stops failing to load with `Cannot find module '../rules/tests/bun-test.json'`. The global basename prune treats any `tests/` directory as test cargo, but tokenjuice's `dist/rules/tests/` is runtime-loaded rule data consumed by `dist/core/builtin-rules.generated.js`. Adds an opt-in `keepDirectories` field to the per-package prune rule so packages with asset directories that collide with pruned basenames can stage cleanly.
