* refactor(prompt): plain inbound context labels with a provenance marker
Replaces trust-worded inbound context labels ("(untrusted metadata)",
"(untrusted, for context)") with plain labels plus a fixed provenance
marker suffix appended to every OpenClaw-injected context header.
Detection keys on the marker, not label text, so strippers stay correct
across UI, TUI, replay, /trace segmentation, memory recall, and the Swift
chat preprocessor. Drops sanitizeInboundSystemTags in favor of the marker
boundary plus trusted system-prompt narration.
Renames the untrusted-named plugin SDK context identifiers to
channel-provenance names, keeping deprecated aliases registered for
removal after 2026-09-08.
Adds `openclaw doctor --fix` migrations that rewrite legacy inbound
labels in stored SQLite transcripts and purge legacy envelope-
contaminated LanceDB recall rows.
* fix(ci): resolve gate failures for plain inbound context labels
- doctor sqlite readers: open read-only connections via openNodeSqliteDatabase
so the Kysely connection-boundary guardrail holds; unexport the now-internal
transcript snapshot type (Knip unused-export gate).
- compat registry: split the record table into registry-records.ts and
plugin-sdk-subpath-records.ts. The new compat record pushed registry.ts past
the 700-line oxlint cap; suppressions are disallowed, so follow the existing
sibling record-module pattern. Public exports and PluginCompatCode literals
unchanged.
- acp-runtime test: assert current finalization behavior (newline normalization
only). The bracket de-fang and System: rewrite it expected were removed with
sanitizeInboundSystemTags; forged system lines are neutralized at the
system-event queue, the single chokepoint feeding the System:-per-line render.
- regenerate docs_map and the plugin SDK API baseline manifest.
* fix(prompt): harden inbound context label migration and drop in-band sanitizer
Review follow-ups on the plain-label + provenance-marker change:
- Remove src/security/system-tags.ts. Rewriting inbound text to neutralize
look-alike `System:`/`[System]` markers corrupted legitimate user text and is
not a real injection boundary; role separation plus external-content wrapping
is. Explicit product decision, recorded at the system-event queue.
- Narrow the LanceDB legacy-row purge so it cannot delete benign memories. It
now requires a complete known legacy sentinel line, a legacy label followed by
a fenced JSON body, or the complete legacy external-content header. The prior
predicates matched ordinary prose such as `Notes (untrusted metadata):`, and
deletion is irreversible.
- Make explicit-empty canonical ChannelStructuredContext win over the deprecated
alias via a present/absent result instead of collapsing `[]` to undefined.
- Keep `\r?` in the active-memory doctor rule. It is the only rule spanning the
header's line break, migrated assistant rows skip newline normalization, and
without it the marked-header replace wins and the body strips to empty. Added
a CRLF regression test.
- Fix stale comments that described removed behavior, and cover the Swift
prose-block strip path.

* refactor(infra): move exec approvals into the shared SQLite state DB
Delete the file-runtime exec-approvals store (exec-approvals.json + .lock
sidecar machinery) on both runtimes and make the reserved
exec_approvals_config singleton row canonical. Doctor owns the one-time
import with claim/verify/receipt discipline; runtime fails closed with a
doctor instruction while un-migrated legacy state exists. The wire CAS
contract, socket semantics, and gateway auth-token derivations are
unchanged. Kills the #113929 lock-contention bug class structurally and
nets around -2.9k lines.
* fix(infra): green CI gates and retire file-era exec approvals tests
Break the migration-type import cycle with a leaf contract, regenerate the
plugin-SDK API and native i18n baselines for the intentional surface change,
drop unused exports, and replace the macOS file-era approvals test suite with
SQLite-backed behavior coverage per the obsolete-internals test policy.
* chore: green max-lines ratchet, native i18n baseline, and unused-export scan
* refactor(channels): remove flat streaming compat
maintainer-approved early removal of v2026.7.2-gated compat
* refactor(channels): remove group intro hint adapter
maintainer-approved early removal of v2026.7.2-gated compat
Plugin SDK surface baseline update is maintainer-approved for this intentional removal.
* feat(sdk): always persist media facts and ship facts-first replacements for legacy Media* surfaces
PR 1 of the media legacy retirement program (audit-frozen, 4 PRs).
- Every media-bearing user turn now persists normalized __openclaw.media
facts unconditionally while continuing to emit the legacy top-level
Media* projection byte-identically (dual-write bridge; the conditional
shouldPersistStructuredMediaEntries gate now always includes media).
- New replacement APIs, shipped before any removal: typed hook media
facts (media[], originalMedia[], mediaStagingPending) on message
events; {{AttachmentPath}}/{{AttachmentUrl}}/{{AttachmentContentType}}/
{{AttachmentDir}}/{{AttachmentIndex}} template variables; focused
openclaw/plugin-sdk/media-local-roots subpath split out of the
deprecated agent-media-payload facade.
- Every legacy surface carries @deprecated naming its replacement, under
one named compatibility record media-legacy-projection with the
operator-approved removeAfter 2026-10-01 (two release trains; deletion
additionally gates on a clean published-plugin artifact sweep).
- Generic transcript append invariant documented; SDK migration, hooks,
and configuration docs updated to the facts-first path.
Writer golden matrix proves legacy bytes and model prompt bytes are
unchanged while nested facts become unconditional. 2,189 broad media
tests green; SDK api-baseline regenerated on fresh-env Testbox.
* feat(sdk): register media-local-roots subpath exports and deprecation metadata
Completes PR 1: package export map for openclaw/plugin-sdk/media-local-roots
plus the deprecated-subpath inventory and doc metadata entries for the
media-legacy-projection record.
* chore(sdk): track media-local-roots entrypoint and deprecated-export budgets
* fix(sdk): keep deprecated MSTeams buildMediaPayload re-export through the compat window
Deleting shipped runtime-api re-exports belongs to retirement PR 4 after
the media-legacy-projection window; PR 1 only deprecates. Also formats
the migration-guide schedule table.
* docs: regenerate docs map for media migration additions
Each legacy heartbeat tasks: entry becomes an editable system-created cron
job (declaration key heartbeat-task:<agentId>:<hash>, per-occurrence
identity for duplicate names) that fires a guarded heartbeat wake carrying
the task prompt plus current monitor scratch context. Task cadence is now
independent of the base heartbeat interval; active-hours, busy-retry,
min-spacing, and flood guards are preserved, deferred payload-carrying
wakes are retained and retried after the spacing floor, and colliding
task/event wakes cannot starve each other.
openclaw doctor --fix migrates existing blocks: async parse/plan, then one
synchronous SQLite transaction that rereads the pinned scratch revision,
upserts job rows, and strips the tasks: block atomically — concurrent
doctors serialize on the database and a losing run aborts untouched.
Orphan fields, invalid intervals, and incomplete entries block migration
of their block with a clear finding instead of silent text loss. The
runtime tasks: parser is deleted; leftover text is ordinary scratch prose.
Nine Codex gpt-5.6-sol xhigh autoreview cycles; final verdict clean.
* refactor(heartbeat): make cron monitor rows own heartbeat cadence
agents.*.heartbeat.every stays the documented desired-state input; gateway
reconciliation and openclaw doctor --fix write it through into durable
system-owned cron monitor rows, and a scheduled monitor tick carries its
persisted everyMs/anchorMs as the authoritative cadence, which the runner
adopts for subsequent event cooldowns. Doctor gains a read-only cadence
preview (resolves the scheduler seed without creating device identity) and
an idempotent fix path that converges monitor rows per agent.
The cron-disabled fallback timer is deleted per its named removal plan
(#110950): gateways with cron.enabled=false or OPENCLAW_SKIP_CRON=1 log a
startup warning and get no scheduled heartbeats; manual and event-driven
wakes remain.
