* 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.

* fix(ui): strip injected inbound metadata from user messages in history
Fixes#21106Fixes#21109Fixes#22116
OpenClaw prepends structured metadata blocks ("Conversation info",
"Sender:", reply-context) to user messages before sending them to the
LLM. These blocks are intentionally AI-context-only and must never reach
the chat history that users see.
Root cause:
`buildInboundUserContextPrefix` in `inbound-meta.ts` prepends the
blocks directly to the stored user message content string, so they are
persisted verbatim and later shown in webchat, TUI, and every other
rendering surface.
Fix:
• `src/auto-reply/reply/strip-inbound-meta.ts` — new utility with a
6-sentinel fast-path strip (zero-alloc on miss) + 9-test suite.
• `src/tui/tui-session-actions.ts` — wraps `chatLog.addUser(...)` with
`stripInboundMetadata()` so the TUI never stores the prefix.
• `ui/src/ui/chat/message-normalizer.ts` — strips user-role text content
items during normalisation so webchat renders clean messages.
* fix(ui): strip inbound metadata for user messages in display path
* test: fix discord component send test spread typing
* fix: strip inbound metadata from mac chat history decode
* fix: align Swift metadata stripping parser with TS implementation
* fix: normalize line endings in inbound metadata stripper
* chore: document Swift/TS metadata-sentinel ownership
* chore: update changelog for inbound metadata strip fix
