 - Always use `prlctl exec --current-user`; plain `prlctl exec` lands in `NT AUTHORITY\\SYSTEM`.
 - Prefer explicit `npm.cmd` and `openclaw.cmd`.
 - Use PowerShell only as the transport with `-ExecutionPolicy Bypass`, then call the `.cmd` shims from inside it.
+- Multi-word `openclaw agent --message ...` checks should call `& $openclaw ...` inside PowerShell, not `Start-Process ... -ArgumentList` against `openclaw.cmd`, or Commander can see split argv and throw `too many arguments for 'agent'`.
 - Windows installer/tgz phases now retry once after guest-ready recheck; keep new Windows smoke steps idempotent so a transport-flake retry is safe.
+- Windows global `npm install -g` phases can stay quiet for a minute or more even when healthy; inspect the phase log before calling it hung, and only treat it as a regression once the retry wrapper or timeout trips.
 - Keep onboarding and status output ASCII-clean in logs; fancy punctuation becomes mojibake in current capture paths.
 - If you hit an older run with `rc=255` plus an empty `fresh.install-main.log` or `upgrade.install-main.log`, treat it as a likely `prlctl exec` transport drop after guest start-up, not immediate proof of an npm/package failure.

- Control UI/auth: preserve operator scopes through the device-auth bypass path, ignore cached under-scoped operator tokens, and show a clear `operator.read` fallback message when a connection really lacks read scope, so operator sessions stop failing or blanking on read-backed pages. (#53110) Thanks @BunsDev.
- Plugins/uninstall: accept installed `clawhub:` specs and versionless ClawHub package names as uninstall targets, so `openclaw plugins uninstall clawhub:<package>` works again even when the recorded install was pinned to a version.
- Auth/OpenAI tokens: stop live gateway auth-profile writes from reverting freshly saved credentials back to stale in-memory values, and make `models auth paste-token` write to the resolved agent store, so Configure, Onboard, and token-paste flows stop snapping back to expired OpenAI tokens. Fixes #53207. Related to #45516.
- Agents/failover: classify generic `api_error` payloads as retryable only when they include transient failure signals, so MiniMax-style backend failures still trigger model fallback without misclassifying billing, auth, or format/context errors. (#49611) Thanks @ayushozha.
- Diagnostics/cache trace: strip credential fields from cache-trace JSONL output while preserving non-sensitive diagnostic fields and image redaction metadata.
- Docs/Feishu: replace `botName` with `name` in the channel config examples so the docs match the strict account schema for per-account display names. (#52753) Thanks @haroldfabla2-hue.

 ## 2026.3.23

 ### Breaking

 ### Changes

+- ModelStudio/Qwen: add standard (pay-as-you-go) DashScope endpoints for China and global Qwen API keys alongside the existing Coding Plan endpoints, and relabel the provider group to `Qwen (Alibaba Cloud Model Studio)`. (#43878)
+- UI/clarity: consolidate button primitives (`btn--icon`, `btn--ghost`, `btn--xs`), refine the Knot theme to a black-and-red palette with WCAG 2.1 AA contrast, add config icons for Diagnostics/CLI/Secrets/ACP/MCP sections, replace the roundness slider with discrete stops, and improve accessibility with aria-labels across usage filters. (#53272) Thanks @BunsDev.
+- CSP/Control UI: compute SHA-256 hashes for inline `<script>` blocks in the served `index.html` and include them in the `script-src` CSP directive, keeping inline scripts blocked by default while allowing explicitly hashed bootstrap code. (#53307) Thanks @BunsDev.
+
 ### Fixes

+- Plugins/bundled runtimes: ship bundled plugin runtime sidecars like WhatsApp `light-runtime-api.js`, Matrix `runtime-api.js`, and other plugin runtime entry files in the npm package again, so global installs stop failing on missing bundled plugin runtime surfaces.
+- CLI/channel auth: auto-select the single configured login-capable channel for `channels login`/`logout`, harden channel ids against prototype-chain and control-character abuse, and fall back cleanly to catalog-backed channel installs, so channel auth works again for single-channel setups and on-demand channel installs. (#53254) Thanks @BunsDev.
+- Auth/OpenAI tokens: stop live gateway auth-profile writes from reverting freshly saved credentials back to stale in-memory values, and make `models auth paste-token` write to the resolved agent store, so Configure, Onboard, and token-paste flows stop snapping back to expired OpenAI tokens. Fixes #53207. Related to #45516.
+- Control UI/auth: preserve operator scopes through the device-auth bypass path, ignore cached under-scoped operator tokens, and show a clear `operator.read` fallback message when a connection really lacks read scope, so operator sessions stop failing or blanking on read-backed pages. (#53110) Thanks @BunsDev.
+- Plugins/ClawHub: resolve plugin API compatibility against the active runtime version at install time, and add regression coverage for current `>=2026.3.22` ClawHub package checks so installs no longer fail behind the stale `1.2.0` constant. (#53157) Thanks @futhgar.
+- Plugins/uninstall: accept installed `clawhub:` specs and versionless ClawHub package names as uninstall targets, so `openclaw plugins uninstall clawhub:<package>` works again even when the recorded install was pinned to a version.
 - Browser/Chrome MCP: wait for existing-session browser tabs to become usable after attach instead of treating the initial Chrome MCP handshake as ready, which reduces user-profile timeouts and repeated consent churn on macOS Chrome attach flows. Fixes #52930. Thanks @vincentkoc.
 - Browser/CDP: reuse an already-running loopback browser after a short initial reachability miss instead of immediately falling back to relaunch detection, which fixes second-run browser start/open regressions on slower headless Linux setups. Fixes #53004. Thanks @vincentkoc.
+- Agents/web_search: use the active runtime `web_search` provider instead of stale/default selection, so agent turns keep hitting the provider you actually configured. Fixes #53020. Thanks @jzakirov.
+- Mistral/models: lower bundled Mistral max-token defaults to safe output budgets and teach `openclaw doctor --fix` to repair old persisted Mistral provider configs that still carry context-sized output limits, avoiding deterministic Mistral 422 rejects on fresh and existing setups. Fixes #52599. Thanks @vincentkoc.
 - ClawHub/macOS auth: honor macOS auth config and XDG auth paths for saved ClawHub credentials, so `openclaw skills ...` and gateway skill browsing keep using the signed-in auth state instead of silently falling back to unauthenticated mode. Fixes #53034.
 - ClawHub/macOS: read the local ClawHub login from the macOS Application Support path and still honor XDG config on macOS, so skill browsing uses the logged-in token on both default and XDG-style setups. Fixes #52949. Thanks @scoootscooob.
 - ClawHub/skills: resolve the local ClawHub auth token for gateway skill browsing and switch browse-all requests to search so ClawControl stops falling into unauthenticated 429s and empty authenticated skill lists. Fixes #52949. Thanks @vincentkoc.
+- Config/warnings: suppress the confusing “newer OpenClaw” warning when a config written by a same-base correction release like `2026.3.23-2` is read by `2026.3.23`, while still warning for truly newer or incompatible versions.
+- CLI/cron: make `openclaw cron add|edit --at ... --tz <iana>` honor the requested local wall-clock time for offset-less one-shot datetimes, including DST boundaries, and keep `--tz` rejected for `--every`. (#53224) Thanks @RolfHegr.
+- Commands/auth: stop slash-command authorization from crashing or dropping valid allowlists when channel `allowFrom` resolution hits unresolved SecretRef-backed accounts, and fail closed only for the affected provider inference path. (#52791) Thanks @Lukavyi.
+- Agents/failover: classify generic `api_error` payloads as retryable only when they include transient failure signals, so MiniMax-style backend failures still trigger model fallback without misclassifying billing, auth, or format/context errors. (#49611) Thanks @ayushozha.
+- LINE/runtime-api: pre-export overlapping runtime symbols before the `line-runtime` star export so jiti no longer throws `TypeError: Cannot redefine property` on startup. (#53221) Thanks @Drickon.
+- Telegram/threading: populate `currentThreadTs` in the threading tool-context fallback for Telegram DM topics so thread-aware tools still receive the active topic context when the main thread metadata is missing. (#52217)
+- Diagnostics/cache trace: strip credential fields from cache-trace JSONL output while preserving non-sensitive diagnostic fields and image redaction metadata.
+- Docs/Feishu: replace `botName` with `name` in the channel config examples so the docs match the strict account schema for per-account display names. (#52753) Thanks @haroldfabla2-hue.
+- Doctor/plugins: make `openclaw doctor --fix` remove stale `plugins.allow` and `plugins.entries` refs left behind after plugin removal. Thanks @sallyom
+- Agents/replay: canonicalize malformed assistant transcript content before session-history sanitization so legacy or corrupted assistant turns stop crashing Pi replay and subagent recovery paths.
+- ClawHub/skills: keep updating already-tracked legacy Unicode slugs after the ASCII-only slug hardening, so older installs do not get stuck behind `Invalid skill slug` errors during `openclaw skills update`. (#53206) Thanks @drobison00.
+- Infra/exec trust: preserve shell-multiplexer wrapper binaries for policy checks without breaking approved-command reconstruction, so BusyBox/ToyBox allowlist and audit flows bind to the real wrapper while execution plans stay coherent. (#53134) Thanks @vincentkoc.
 - Plugins/message tool: make Discord `components` and Slack `blocks` optional again, and route Feishu `message(..., media=...)` sends through the outbound media path, so pin/unpin/react flows stop failing schema validation and Feishu file/image attachments actually send. Fixes #52970 and #52962. Thanks @vincentkoc.
 - Gateway/model pricing: stop `openrouter/auto` pricing refresh from recursing indefinitely during bootstrap, so OpenRouter auto routes can populate cached pricing and `usage.cost` again. Fixes #53035. Thanks @vincentkoc.
- Mistral/models: lower bundled Mistral max-token defaults to safe output budgets and teach `openclaw doctor --fix` to repair old persisted Mistral provider configs that still carry context-sized output limits, avoiding deterministic Mistral 422 rejects on fresh and existing setups. Fixes #52599. Thanks @vincentkoc.
- Agents/web_search: use the active runtime `web_search` provider instead of stale/default selection, so agent turns keep hitting the provider you actually configured. Fixes #53020. Thanks @jzakirov.
 - Models/OpenAI Codex OAuth: bootstrap the env-configured HTTP/HTTPS proxy dispatcher on the stored-credential refresh path before token renewal runs, so expired Codex OAuth profiles can refresh successfully in proxy-required environments instead of locking users out after the first token expiry.
+- Models/OpenAI Codex OAuth and Plugins/MiniMax OAuth: ensure env-configured HTTP/HTTPS proxy dispatchers are initialized before OAuth preflight and token exchange requests so proxy-required environments can complete MiniMax and OpenAI Codex sign-in flows again. (#52228; fixes #51619, #51569) Thanks @openperf.
 - Plugins/memory-lancedb: bootstrap LanceDB into plugin runtime state on first use when the bundled npm install does not already have it, so `plugins.slots.memory="memory-lancedb"` works again after global npm installs without moving LanceDB into OpenClaw core dependencies. Fixes #26100.
 - Config/plugins: treat stale unknown `plugins.allow` ids as warnings instead of fatal config errors, so recovery commands like `plugins install`, `doctor --fix`, and `status` still run when a plugin is missing locally. Fixes #52992. Thanks @vincentkoc.
 - Doctor/WhatsApp: stop auto-enable from appending built-in channel ids like `whatsapp` to `plugins.allow`, so `openclaw doctor --fix` no longer writes schema-invalid plugin allowlist entries when repairing built-in channels. Fixes #52931. Thanks @vincentkoc.
 - Telegram/auto-reply: preserve same-chat inbound debounce order without stranding stale busy-session followups, and keep same-key overflow turns ordered when tracked debounce keys are saturated. (#52998) Thanks @osolmaz.
+- Telegram/message tool: add `asDocument` as a user-facing alias for `forceDocument` on image and GIF sends, while preserving explicit `forceDocument` precedence when both flags are present. (#52461) Thanks @bakhtiersizhaev.
 - Discord/commands: return an explicit unauthorized reply for privileged native slash commands instead of falling through to Discord's misleading generic completion when auth gates reject the sender. Fixes #53041. Thanks @scoootscooob.
 - Channels/catalog: let external channel catalogs override shipped fallback metadata and honor overridden npm specs during channel setup, so custom channel catalogs no longer fall back to bundled packages when a channel id matches. (#52988)
 - Voice-call/Plivo: stabilize Plivo v2 replay keys so webhook retries and replay protection stop colliding on valid follow-up deliveries.
 - Agents/skills: prefer the active resolved runtime snapshot for embedded skill config and env injection, so `skills.entries.<skill>.apiKey` SecretRefs resolve correctly during embedded startup instead of failing on raw source config. Fixes #53098. Thanks @vincentkoc.
 - Agents/subagents: recheck timed-out worker waits against the latest runtime snapshot before sending completion events, so fast-finishing workers stop being reported as timed out when they actually succeeded. Fixes #53106. Thanks @vincentkoc.
 - Agents/Anthropic: preserve latest assistant thinking and redacted-thinking block ordering during transcript image sanitization so follow-up turns do not trip Anthropic's unmodified-thinking validation. (#52961) Thanks @vincentkoc.
+- Plugins/DeepSeek: refactor the bundled DeepSeek provider onto the shared single-provider plugin entry, move its coverage into the extension test lane, and keep bundled auth env-var metadata on the generated manifest path. (#48762) Thanks @07akioni.
+- Plugins/Matrix: avoid duplicate `resolveMatrixAccountStringValues` runtime-api exports under Jiti so bundled Matrix installs no longer crash at startup with `Cannot redefine property: resolveMatrixAccountStringValues`. Fixes #52909 and #52891. Thanks @vincentkoc.
+- Security/exec approvals: keep shell-wrapper positional-argv allowlist matching on real direct carriers only by rejecting single-quoted `$0`/`$n` tokens, disallowing newline-separated `exec`, and still accepting `exec --` carrier forms. Thanks @vincentkoc.
 - Gateway/probe: stop successful gateway handshakes from timing out as unreachable while post-connect detail RPCs are still loading, so slow devices report a reachable RPC failure instead of a false negative dead gateway. Fixes #52927. Thanks @vincentkoc.
 - Gateway/supervision: stop lock conflicts from crash-looping under launchd and systemd by keeping the duplicate process in a retry wait instead of exiting as a failure while another healthy gateway still owns the lock. Fixes #52922. Thanks @vincentkoc.
 - Gateway/auth: require auth for canvas routes and admin scope for agent session reset, so anonymous canvas access and non-admin reset requests fail closed.
@@ -74,7 +92,6 @@ Docs: https://docs.openclaw.ai
 - Agents/media replies: migrate the remaining browser, canvas, and nodes snapshot outputs onto `details.media` so generated media keeps attaching to assistant replies after the collect-then-attach refactor. (#51731) Thanks @christianklotz.
 - Android/contacts search: escape literal `%` and `_` in contact-name queries so searches like `100%` or `_id` no longer match unrelated contacts through SQL `LIKE` wildcards. (#41891) Thanks @Kaneki-x.
 - Gateway/usage: include reset and deleted archived session transcripts in usage totals, session discovery, and archived-only session detail fallback so the Usage view no longer undercounts rotated sessions. (#43215) Thanks @rcrick.
- Channels/inbound debounce: reserve same-conversation timer-backed flush order so a buffered run cannot be overtaken by a newer message for the same key, preventing Telegram reply desync after long debounced turns. Fixes #52982. Thanks @vincentkoc and @osolmaz.

+<h3>Breaking</h3>
+<h3>Changes</h3>
+<h3>Fixes</h3>
+<ul>
+<li>Browser/Chrome MCP: wait for existing-session browser tabs to become usable after attach instead of treating the initial Chrome MCP handshake as ready, which reduces user-profile timeouts and repeated consent churn on macOS Chrome attach flows. Fixes #52930. Thanks @vincentkoc.</li>
+<li>Browser/CDP: reuse an already-running loopback browser after a short initial reachability miss instead of immediately falling back to relaunch detection, which fixes second-run browser start/open regressions on slower headless Linux setups. Fixes #53004. Thanks @vincentkoc.</li>
+<li>ClawHub/macOS auth: honor macOS auth config and XDG auth paths for saved ClawHub credentials, so <code>openclaw skills ...</code> and gateway skill browsing keep using the signed-in auth state instead of silently falling back to unauthenticated mode. Fixes #53034.</li>
+<li>ClawHub/macOS: read the local ClawHub login from the macOS Application Support path and still honor XDG config on macOS, so skill browsing uses the logged-in token on both default and XDG-style setups. Fixes #52949. Thanks @scoootscooob.</li>
+<li>ClawHub/skills: resolve the local ClawHub auth token for gateway skill browsing and switch browse-all requests to search so ClawControl stops falling into unauthenticated 429s and empty authenticated skill lists. Fixes #52949. Thanks @vincentkoc.</li>
+<li>Plugins/message tool: make Discord <code>components</code> and Slack <code>blocks</code> optional again, and route Feishu <code>message(..., media=...)</code> sends through the outbound media path, so pin/unpin/react flows stop failing schema validation and Feishu file/image attachments actually send.

-<h3>Changes</h3>
-<ul>
-<li>CLI/backup: add <code>openclaw backup create</code> and <code>openclaw backup verify</code> for local state archives, including <code>--only-config</code>, <code>--no-include-workspace</code>, manifest/payload validation, and backup guidance in destructive flows. (#40163) thanks @shichangs.</li>
-<li>macOS/onboarding: add a remote gateway token field for remote mode, preserve existing non-plaintext <code>gateway.remote.token</code> config values until explicitly replaced, and warn when the loaded token shape cannot be used directly from the macOS app. (#40187, supersedes #34614) Thanks @cgdusek.</li>
-<li>Talk mode: add top-level <code>talk.silenceTimeoutMs</code> config so Talk waits a configurable amount of silence before auto-sending the current transcript, while keeping each platform's existing default pause window when unset. (#39607) Thanks @danodoesdesign. Fixes #17147.</li>
-<li>TUI: infer the active agent from the current workspace when launched inside a configured agent workspace, while preserving explicit <code>agent:</code> session targets. (#39591) thanks @arceus77-7.</li>
-<li>Tools/Brave web search: add opt-in <code>tools.web.search.brave.mode: "llm-context"</code> so <code>web_search</code> can call Brave's LLM Context endpoint and return extracted grounding snippets with source metadata, plus config/docs/test coverage. (#33383) Thanks @thirumaleshp.</li>
-<li>CLI/install: include the short git commit hash in <code>openclaw --version</code> output when metadata is available, and keep installer version checks compatible with the decorated format. (#39712) thanks @sourman.</li>
-<li>CLI/backup: improve archive naming for date sorting, add config-only backup mode, and harden backup planning, publication, and verification edge cases. (#40163) Thanks @gumadeiras.</li>
-<li>ACP/Provenance: add optional ACP ingress provenance metadata and visible receipt injection (<code>openclaw acp --provenance off|meta|meta+receipt</code>) so OpenClaw agents can retain and report ACP-origin context with session trace IDs. (#40473) thanks @mbelinky.</li>
-<li>Tools/web search: alphabetize provider ordering across runtime selection, onboarding/configure pickers, and config metadata, so provider lists stay neutral and multi-key auto-detect now prefers Grok before Kimi. (#40259) thanks @kesku.</li>
-<li>Docs/Web search: restore $5/month free-credit details, replace defunct "Data for Search"/"Data for AI" plan names with current "Search" plan, and note legacy subscription validity in Brave setup docs. Follows up on #26860. (#40111) Thanks @remusao.</li>
-<li>Extensions/ACPX tests: move the shared runtime fixture helper from <code>src/runtime-internals/</code> to <code>src/test-utils/</code> so the test-only helper no longer looks like shipped runtime code.</li>
-</ul>
-<h3>Fixes</h3>
-<ul>
-<li>macOS app/chat UI: route browser proxy through the local node browser service, preserve plain-text paste semantics, strip completed assistant trace/debug wrapper noise from transcripts, refresh permission state after returning from System Settings, and tolerate malformed cron rows in the macOS tab. (#39516) Thanks @Imhermes1.</li>
-<li>Android/Play distribution: remove self-update, background location, <code>screen.record</code>, and background mic capture from the Android app, narrow the foreground service to <code>dataSync</code> only, and clean up the legacy <code>location.enabledMode=always</code> preference migration. (#39660) Thanks @obviyus.</li>
-<li>Telegram/DM routing: dedupe inbound Telegram DMs per agent instead of per session key so the same DM cannot trigger duplicate replies when both <code>agent:main:main</code> and <code>agent:main:telegram:direct:<id></code> resolve for one agent. Fixes #40005. Supersedes #40116. (#40519) thanks @obviyus.</li>
-<li>Cron/Telegram announce delivery: route text-only announce jobs through the real outbound adapters after finalizing descendant output so plain Telegram targets no longer report <code>delivered: true</code> when no message actually reached Telegram. (#40575) thanks @obviyus.</li>
-<li>Matrix/DM routing: add safer fallback detection for broken <code>m.direct</code> homeservers, honor explicit room bindings over DM classification, and preserve room-bound agent selection for Matrix DM rooms. (#19736) Thanks @derbronko.</li>
-<li>Feishu/plugin onboarding: clear the short-lived plugin discovery cache before reloading the registry after installing a channel plugin, so onboarding no longer re-prompts to download Feishu immediately after a successful install. Fixes #39642. (#39752) Thanks @GazeKingNuWu.</li>
-<li>Plugins/channel onboarding: prefer bundled channel plugins over duplicate npm-installed copies during onboarding and release-channel sync, preventing bundled plugins from being shadowed by npm installs with the same plugin ID. (#40092)</li>
-<li>Config/runtime snapshots: keep secrets-runtime-resolved config and auth-profile snapshots intact after config writes so follow-up reads still see file-backed secret values while picking up the persisted config update. (#37313) thanks @bbblending.</li>
-<li>Gateway/Control UI: resolve bundled dashboard assets through symlinked global wrappers and auto-detected package roots, while keeping configured and custom roots on the strict hardlink boundary. (#40385) Thanks @LarytheLord.</li>
-<li>Browser/extension relay: add <code>browser.relayBindHost</code> so the Chrome relay can bind to an explicit non-loopback address for WSL2 and other cross-namespace setups, while preserving loopback-only defaults. (#39364) Thanks @mvanhorn.</li>
-<li>Browser/CDP: normalize loopback direct WebSocket CDP URLs back to HTTP(S) for <code>/json/*</code> tab operations so local <code>ws://</code> / <code>wss://</code> profiles can still list, focus, open, and close tabs after the new direct-WS support lands. (#31085) Thanks @shrey150.</li>
-<li>Browser/CDP: rewrite wildcard <code>ws://0.0.0.0</code> and <code>ws://[::]</code> debugger URLs from remote <code>/json/version</code> responses back to the external CDP host/port, fixing Browserless-style container endpoints. (#17760) Thanks @joeharouni.</li>
-<li>Browser/extension relay: wait briefly for a previously attached Chrome tab to reappear after transient relay drops before failing with <code>tab not found</code>, reducing noisy reconnect flakes. (#32461) Thanks @AaronWander.</li>
-<li>macOS/Tailscale gateway discovery: keep Tailscale Serve probing alive when other remote gateways are already discovered, prefer direct transport for resolved <code>.ts.net</code> and Tailscale Serve gateways, and set <code>TERM=dumb</code> for GUI-launched Tailscale CLI discovery. (#40167) thanks @ngutman.</li>
-<li>TUI/theme: detect light terminal backgrounds via <code>COLORFGBG</code> and pick a WCAG AA-compliant light palette, with <code>OPENCLAW_THEME=light|dark</code> override for terminals without auto-detection. (#38636) Thanks @ademczuk and @vincentkoc.</li>
-<li>Agents/openai-codex: normalize <code>gpt-5.4</code> fallback transport back to <code>openai-codex-responses</code> on <code>chatgpt.com/backend-api</code> when config drifts to the generic OpenAI responses endpoint. (#38736) Thanks @0xsline.</li>
-<li>Models/openai-codex GPT-5.4 forward-compat: use the GPT-5.4 1,050,000-token context window and 128,000 max tokens for <code>openai-codex/gpt-5.4</code> instead of inheriting stale legacy Codex limits in resolver fallbacks and model listing. (#37876) thanks @yuweuii.</li>
-<li>Tools/web search: restore Perplexity OpenRouter/Sonar compatibility for legacy <code>OPENROUTER_API_KEY</code>, <code>sk-or-...</code>, and explicit <code>perplexity.baseUrl</code> / <code>model</code> setups while keeping direct Perplexity keys on the native Search API path. (#39937) Thanks @obviyus.</li>
-<li>Agents/failover: detect Amazon Bedrock <code>Too many tokens per day</code> quota errors as rate limits across fallback, cron retry, and memory embeddings while keeping context-window <code>too many tokens per request</code> errors out of the rate-limit lane. (#39377) Thanks @gambletan.</li>
-<li>Mattermost replies: keep <code>root_id</code> pinned to the existing thread root when an agent replies inside a thread, while still using reply-target threading for top-level posts. (#27744) thanks @hnykda.</li>
-<li>Telegram/DM partial streaming: keep DM preview lanes on real message edits instead of native draft materialization so final replies no longer flash a second duplicate copy before collapsing back to one.</li>
-<li>macOS overlays: fix VoiceWake, Talk, and Notify overlay exclusivity crashes by removing shared <code>inout</code> visibility mutation from <code>OverlayPanelFactory.present</code>, and add a repeated Talk overlay smoke test. (#39275, #39321) Thanks @fellanH.</li>
-<li>macOS Talk Mode: set the speech recognition request <code>taskHint</code> to <code>.dictation</code> for mic capture, and add regression coverage for the request defaults. (#38445) Thanks @dmiv.</li>
-<li>macOS release packaging: default <code>scripts/package-mac-app.sh</code> to universal binaries for <code>BUILD_CONFIG=release</code>, and clarify that <code>scripts/package-mac-dist.sh</code> already produces the release zip + DMG. (#33891) Thanks @cgdusek.</li>
-<li>Hooks/session-memory: keep <code>/new</code> and <code>/reset</code> memory artifacts in the bound agent workspace and align saved reset session keys with that workspace when stale main-agent keys leak into the hook path. (#39875) thanks @rbutera.</li>
-<li>Sessions/model switch: clear stale cached <code>contextTokens</code> when a session changes models so status and runtime paths recompute against the active model window. (#38044) thanks @yuweuii.</li>
-<li>ACP/session history: persist transcripts for successful ACP child runs, preserve exact transcript text, record ACP spawned-session lineage, and keep spawn-time transcript-path persistence best-effort so history storage failures do not block execution. (#40137) thanks @mbelinky.</li>
-<li>Docs/browser: add a layered WSL2 + Windows remote Chrome CDP troubleshooting guide, including Control UI origin pitfalls and extension-relay bind-address guidance. (#39407) Thanks @Owlock.</li>
-<li>Context engine registry/bundled builds: share the registry state through a <code>globalThis</code> singleton so duplicated bundled module copies can resolve engines registered by each other at runtime, with regression coverage for duplicate-module imports. (#40115) thanks @jalehman.</li>
-<li>Podman/setup: fix <code>cannot chdir: Permission denied</code> in <code>run_as_user</code> when <code>setup-podman.sh</code> is invoked from a directory the target user cannot access, by wrapping user-switch calls in a subshell that cd's to <code>/tmp</code> with <code>/</code> fallback. (#39435) Thanks @langdon and @jlcbk.</li>
-<li>Podman/SELinux: auto-detect SELinux enforcing/permissive mode and add <code>:Z</code> relabel to bind mounts in <code>run-openclaw-podman.sh</code> and the Quadlet template, fixing <code>EACCES</code> on Fedora/RHEL hosts. Supports <code>OPENCLAW_BIND_MOUNT_OPTIONS</code> override. (#39449) Thanks @langdon and @githubbzxs.</li>
-<li>Agents/context-engine plugins: bootstrap runtime plugins once at embedded-run, compaction, and subagent boundaries so plugin-provided context engines and hooks load from the active workspace before runtime resolution. (#40232)</li>
-<li>Docs/Changelog: correct the contributor credit for the bundled Control UI global-install fix to @LarytheLord. (#40420) Thanks @velvet-shark.</li>
-<li>Telegram/media downloads: time out only stalled body reads so polling recovers from hung file downloads without aborting slow downloads that are still streaming data. (#40098) thanks @tysoncung.</li>
-<li>Docker/runtime image: prune dev dependencies, strip build-only dist metadata for smaller Docker images. (#40307) Thanks @vincentkoc.</li>
-<li>Gateway/restart timeout recovery: exit non-zero when restart-triggered shutdown drains time out so launchd/systemd restart the gateway instead of treating the failed restart as a clean stop. Landed from contributor PR #40380 by @dsantoreis. Thanks @dsantoreis.</li>
-<li>Gateway/config restart guard: validate config before service start/restart and keep post-SIGUSR1 startup failures from crashing the gateway process, reducing invalid-config restart loops and macOS permission loss. Landed from contributor PR #38699 by @lml2468. Thanks @lml2468.</li>
-<li>Gateway/launchd respawn detection: treat <code>XPC_SERVICE_NAME</code> as a launchd supervision hint so macOS restarts exit cleanly under launchd instead of attempting detached self-respawn. Landed from contributor PR #20555 by @dimat. Thanks @dimat.</li>
-<li>Telegram/poll restart cleanup: abort the in-flight Telegram API fetch when shutdown or forced polling restarts stop a runner, preventing stale <code>getUpdates</code> long polls from colliding with the replacement runner. Landed from contributor PR #23950 by @Gkinthecodeland. Thanks @Gkinthecodeland.</li>
-<li>Cron/restart catch-up staggering: limit immediate missed-job replay on startup and reschedule the deferred remainder from the post-catchup clock so restart bursts do not starve the gateway or silently skip overdue recurring jobs. Landed from contributor PR #18925 by @rexlunae. Thanks @rexlunae.</li>
-<li>Cron/owner-only tools: pass trusted isolated cron runs into the embedded agent with owner context so <code>cron</code>/<code>gateway</code> tooling remains available after the owner-auth hardening narrowed direct-message ownership inference.</li>
-<li>Browser/SSRF: block private-network intermediate redirect hops in strict browser navigation flows and fail closed when remote tab-open paths cannot inspect redirect chains. Thanks @zpbrent.</li>
-<li>MS Teams/authz: keep <code>groupPolicy: "allowlist"</code> enforcing sender allowlists even when a team/channel route allowlist is configured, so route matches no longer widen group access to every sender in that route. Thanks @zpbrent.</li>
-<li>Security/system.run: bind approved <code>bun</code> and <code>deno run</code> script operands to on-disk file snapshots so post-approval script rewrites are denied before execution.</li>
-<li>Skills/download installs: pin the validated per-skill tools root before writing downloaded archives, so rebinding the lexical tools path cannot redirect download writes outside the intended tools directory. Thanks @tdjackey.</li>

Taras Lukavyi	7ffe7e4822	fix: populate currentThreadTs in threading tool context fallback for Telegram DM topics (#52217 ) When a channel plugin lacks a custom buildToolContext (e.g. Telegram), the fallback path in buildThreadingToolContext did not set currentThreadTs from the inbound MessageThreadId. This caused resolveTelegramAutoThreadId to return undefined, so message tool sends without explicit threadId would route to the main chat instead of the originating DM topic.

Rolfy	9aac5582d6	fix(cron): make --tz work with --at for one-shot jobs Previously, `--at` with an offset-less ISO datetime (e.g. `2026-03-23T23:00:00`) was always interpreted as UTC, even when `--tz` was provided. This caused one-shot jobs to fire at the wrong time. Changes: - `parseAt()` now accepts an optional `tz` parameter - When `--tz` is provided with `--at`, offset-less datetimes are interpreted in that IANA timezone using Intl.DateTimeFormat - Datetimes with explicit offsets (e.g. `+01:00`, `Z`) are unaffected - Removed the guard in cron-edit that blocked `--tz` with `--at` - Updated `--at` help text to mention `--tz` support - Added 2 tests verifying timezone resolution and offset preservation	2026-03-23 19:38:04 -07:00

Drickon	715b13547f	fix(line): pre-export clashing symbols to prevent jiti TypeError on startup (#53221 ) * fix(line): pre-export clashing symbols to prevent jiti TypeError on startup When jiti CJS-transforms extensions/line/runtime-api.ts, both export * from "openclaw/plugin-sdk/line-runtime" and the subsequent export * from individual source files attempt to define the same 13 symbols via Object.defineProperty with configurable:false. The second call throws TypeError: Cannot redefine property. The root cause is that src/plugin-sdk/line-runtime.ts re-exports these symbols directly from the extension source files, creating a circular path back to the same files that runtime-api.ts star-exports. Fix: add named pre-exports for all symbols that plugin-sdk/line-runtime re-exports from this extension. Named exports register in jiti's _exportNames map at transform time; the star re-export's hasOwnProperty guard then skips them, preventing the duplicate Object.defineProperty. export * reordering cannot fix this: _exportNames is only populated by named exports, not by export , so the guard never fires regardless of order. This is the same class of bug as the Matrix plugin crash described in issues #50868, #52780, and #52891, and uses the same fix pattern as PR #50919. test: add LINE runtime-api Jiti regression (#53221) (thanks @Drickon) * test: stabilize LINE Jiti regression (#53221) (thanks @Drickon) * test: harden LINE Jiti regression (#53221) (thanks @Drickon) * chore: retrigger PR checks (#53221) --------- Co-authored-by: Peter Steinberger <steipete@gmail.com>	2026-03-23 19:13:25 -07:00

futhgar	447e074bf4	fix(plugins): use runtime version for plugin API compatibility check OPENCLAW_PLUGIN_API_VERSION was hardcoded to "1.2.0" while ClawHub-published plugins require >=2026.3.22, making all plugin installs via ClawHub fail with "requires plugin API >=2026.3.22, but this OpenClaw runtime exposes 1.2.0".
