 ### Fixes
 
+- Plugins/externalization: pin beta-only official launch packages for ACPX, Google Chat, and LINE to explicit npm beta specs so catalog-driven installs do not trip the prerelease safety guard while npm `latest` still points at beta. Thanks @vincentkoc.
 - Control UI/Talk: fix Talk (OpenAI Realtime WebRTC) CORS failure by stripping server-side-only attribution headers (`originator`, `version`, `User-Agent`) from browser offer headers; `api.openai.com/v1/realtime/calls` only allows `authorization` and `content-type` in its CORS preflight, so forwarding these headers caused the browser SDP exchange to fail. Fixes #76435. Thanks @hclsys.
 - CLI/logs: auto-reconnect `openclaw logs --follow` on transient gateway disconnects (WebSocket close, timeout, connection drop) with bounded exponential backoff (up to 8 retries, capped at 30 s) and stderr retry warnings, while still exiting immediately on non-recoverable auth or configuration errors. Fixes #74782. (#75059) Thanks @shashank-poola.
 - Plugins/onboarding: trust optional official plugin and web-search installs selected from the official catalog so npm security scanning treats them like other source-linked official install paths. Thanks @vincentkoc.
