 ### Changes
 
-- Skills/Security: defense-in-depth security hardening for community skills (ClawHub installs). Adds capability declarations (`shell`, `filesystem`, `network`, `browser`, `sessions`), trust tier classification (builtin/verified/community/local), SKILL.md content scanning (blocks prompt injection, capability inflation, boundary spoofing), skill-aware tool policy enforcement (denies undeclared dangerous tools for community skills), command-dispatch gating, and before-tool-call audit monitoring with session context. Community skills that fail critical scanning are blocked from loading. `openclaw skills list/info/check` now show capabilities, trust tiers, scan results, and runtime policy.
-- Skills/Logging: all security-related log entries tagged with `category: "security"` for filtering. Skills CLI commands output structured JSON to the file logger (no more ASCII tables in logs). Web UI Logs tab adds a "Security" filter chip for security-only event views.
-- Subagents: nested sub-agents (sub-sub-agents) with configurable depth. Set `agents.defaults.subagents.maxSpawnDepth: 2` to allow sub-agents to spawn their own children. Includes `maxChildrenPerAgent` limit (default 5), depth-aware tool policy, and proper announce chain routing. (#14447) Thanks @tyler6204.
+- iOS/Gateway: wake disconnected iOS nodes via APNs before `nodes.invoke` and auto-reconnect gateway sessions on silent push wake to reduce invoke failures while the app is backgrounded. (#20332) Thanks @mbelinky.
+- iOS/APNs: add push registration and notification-signing configuration for node delivery. (#20308) Thanks @mbelinky.
+- Gateway/APNs: add a push-test pipeline for APNs delivery validation in gateway flows. (#20307) Thanks @mbelinky.
+- iOS/Watch: add an Apple Watch companion MVP with watch inbox UI, watch notification relay handling, and gateway command surfaces for watch status/send flows. (#20054) Thanks @mbelinky.
+- Gateway/CLI: add paired-device hygiene flows with `device.pair.remove`, plus `openclaw devices remove` and guarded `openclaw devices clear --yes [--pending]` commands for removing paired entries and optionally rejecting pending requests. (#20057) Thanks @mbelinky.
+- Skills: harden coding-agent skill guidance by removing shell-command examples that interpolate untrusted issue text directly into command strings.
+- Auto-reply/UI: add model fallback lifecycle visibility in verbose logs, /status active-model context with fallback reason, and cohesive WebUI fallback indicators. (#20704) thanks @joshavant.
 
 ### Fixes
 
+- Agents/Streaming: keep assistant partial streaming active during reasoning streams, handle native `thinking_*` stream events consistently, dedupe mixed reasoning-end signals, and clear stale mutating tool errors after same-target retry success. (#20635) Thanks @obviyus.
+- Gateway/Auth: default unresolved gateway auth to token mode with startup auto-generation/persistence of `gateway.auth.token`, while allowing explicit `gateway.auth.mode: "none"` for intentional open loopback setups. (#20686) thanks @gumadeiras.
+- Browser/Relay: require gateway-token auth on both `/extension` and `/cdp`, and align Chrome extension setup to use a single `gateway.auth.token` input for relay authentication. Thanks @tdjackey for reporting.
+- Gateway/Hooks: run BOOT.md startup checks per configured agent scope, including per-agent session-key resolution, startup-hook regression coverage, and non-success boot outcome logging for diagnosability. (#20569) thanks @mcaxtr.
+- Telegram: unify message-like inbound handling so `message` and `channel_post` share the same dedupe/access/media pipeline and remain behaviorally consistent. (#20591) Thanks @obviyus.
+- Heartbeat/Cron: skip interval heartbeats when `HEARTBEAT.md` is missing or empty and no tagged cron events are queued, while preserving cron-event fallback for queued tagged reminders. (#20461) thanks @vikpos.
+- Telegram/Agents: gate exec/bash tool-failure warnings behind verbose mode so default Telegram replies stay clean while verbose sessions still surface diagnostics. (#20560) Thanks @obviyus.
+- Gateway/Daemon: forward `TMPDIR` into installed service environments so macOS LaunchAgent gateway runs can open SQLite temp/journal files reliably instead of failing with `SQLITE_CANTOPEN`. (#20512) Thanks @Clawborn.
+- Agents/Billing: include the active model that produced a billing error in user-facing billing messages (for example, `OpenAI (gpt-5.3)`) across payload, failover, and lifecycle error paths, so users can identify exactly which key needs credits. (#20510) Thanks @echoVic.
+- iOS/Screen: move `WKWebView` lifecycle ownership into `ScreenWebView` coordinator and explicit attach/detach flow to reduce gesture/lifecycle crash risk (`__NSArrayM insertObject:atIndex:` paths) during screen tab updates. (#20366) Thanks @ngutman.
+- Gateway/TUI: honor `agents.defaults.blockStreamingDefault` for `chat.send` by removing the hardcoded block-streaming disable override, so replies can use configured block-mode delivery. (#19693) Thanks @neipor.
+- Protocol/Apple: regenerate Swift gateway models for `push.test` so `pnpm protocol:check` stays green on main. Thanks @mbelinky.
+- Canvas/A2UI: improve bundled-asset resolution and empty-state handling so UI fallbacks render reliably. (#20312) Thanks @mbelinky.
+- UI/Sessions: accept the canonical main session-key alias in Chat UI flows so main-session routing stays consistent. (#20311) Thanks @mbelinky.
+- iOS/Onboarding: prevent pairing-status flicker during auto-resume by keeping resumed state transitions stable. (#20310) Thanks @mbelinky.
+- OpenClawKit/Protocol: preserve JSON boolean literals (`true`/`false`) when bridging through `AnyCodable` so Apple client RPC params no longer re-encode booleans as `1`/`0`. Thanks @mbelinky.
+- iOS/Onboarding: stabilize pairing and reconnect behavior by resetting stale pairing request state on manual retry, disconnecting both operator and node gateways on operator failure, and avoiding duplicate pairing loops from operator transport identity attachment. (#20056) Thanks @mbelinky.
+- Browser/Relay: reuse an already-running extension relay when the relay port is occupied by another OpenClaw process, while still failing on non-relay port collisions to avoid masking unrelated listeners. (#20035) Thanks @mbelinky.
+- Telegram/Cron/Heartbeat: honor explicit Telegram topic targets in cron and heartbeat delivery (`<chatId>:topic:<threadId>`) so scheduled sends land in the configured topic instead of the last active thread. (#19367) Thanks @Lukavyi.
+- iOS/Signing: restore local auto-selected signing-team overrides during iOS project generation by wiring `.local-signing.xcconfig` into the active signing config and emitting `OPENCLAW_DEVELOPMENT_TEAM` in local signing setup. (#19993) Thanks @ngutman.
+- Commands/Doctor: avoid rewriting invalid configs with new `gateway.auth.token` defaults during repair and only write when real config changes are detected, preventing accidental token duplication and backup churn.
+- Sandbox/Registry: serialize container and browser registry writes with shared file locks and atomic replacement to prevent lost updates and delete rollback races from desyncing `sandbox list`, `prune`, and `recreate --all`. Thanks @kexinoh.
+- Security/Exec: require `tools.exec.safeBins` binaries to resolve from trusted bin directories (system defaults plus gateway startup `PATH`) so PATH-hijacked trojan binaries cannot bypass allowlist checks. Thanks @jackhax for reporting.
+- Cron/Webhooks: protect cron webhook POST delivery with SSRF-guarded outbound fetch (`fetchWithSsrFGuard`) to block private/metadata destinations before request dispatch. Thanks @Adam55A-code.
+- Security/Net: block SSRF bypass via NAT64 (`64:ff9b::/96`, `64:ff9b:1::/48`), 6to4 (`2002::/16`), and Teredo (`2001:0000::/32`) IPv6 transition addresses, and fail closed on IPv6 parse errors. Thanks @jackhax.

+## 2026.2.17
+
+### Changes
+
+- Agents/Anthropic: add opt-in 1M context beta header support for Opus/Sonnet via model `params.context1m: true` (maps to `anthropic-beta: context-1m-2025-08-07`).
+- Agents/Models: support Anthropic Sonnet 4.6 (`anthropic/claude-sonnet-4-6`) across aliases/defaults with forward-compat fallback when upstream catalogs still only expose Sonnet 4.5.
+- Commands/Subagents: add `/subagents spawn` for deterministic subagent activation from chat commands. (#18218) Thanks @JoshuaLelon.
+- Agents/Subagents: add an accepted response note for `sessions_spawn` explaining polling subagents are disabled for one-off calls. Thanks @tyler6204.
+- Agents/Subagents: prefix spawned subagent task messages with context to preserve source information in downstream handling. Thanks @tyler6204.
+- iOS/Share: add an iOS share extension that forwards shared URL/text/image content directly to gateway `agent.request`, with delivery-route fallback and optional receipt acknowledgements. (#19424) Thanks @mbelinky.
+- iOS/Talk: add a `Background Listening` toggle that keeps Talk Mode active while the app is backgrounded (off by default for battery safety). Thanks @zeulewan.
+- iOS/Talk: add a `Voice Directive Hint` toggle for Talk Mode prompts so users can disable ElevenLabs voice-switching instructions to save tokens when not needed. (#18250) Thanks @zeulewan.
+- iOS/Talk: harden barge-in behavior by disabling interrupt-on-speech when output route is built-in speaker/receiver, reducing false interruptions from local TTS bleed-through. Thanks @zeulewan.
+- Slack: add native single-message text streaming with Slack `chat.startStream`/`appendStream`/`stopStream`; keep reply threading aligned with `replyToMode`, default streaming to enabled, and fall back to normal delivery when streaming fails. (#9972) Thanks @natedenh.
+- Slack: add configurable streaming modes for draft previews. (#18555) Thanks @Solvely-Colin.
+- Telegram/Agents: add inline button `style` support (`primary|success|danger`) across message tool schema, Telegram action parsing, send pipeline, and runtime prompt guidance. (#18241) Thanks @obviyus.
+- Telegram: surface user message reactions as system events, with configurable `channels.telegram.reactionNotifications` scope. (#10075) Thanks @Glucksberg.
+- iMessage: support `replyToId` on outbound text/media sends and normalize leading `[[reply_to:<id>]]` tags so replies target the intended iMessage. Thanks @tyler6204.
+- Tool Display/Web UI: add intent-first tool detail views and exec summaries. (#18592) Thanks @xdLawless2.
+- Discord: expose native `/exec` command options (host/security/ask/node) so Discord slash commands get autocomplete and structured inputs. Thanks @thewilloftheshadow.
+- Discord: allow reusable interactive components with `components.reusable=true` so buttons, selects, and forms can be used multiple times before expiring. Thanks @thewilloftheshadow.
+- Discord: add per-button `allowedUsers` allowlist for interactive components to restrict who can click buttons. Thanks @thewilloftheshadow.
+- Cron/Gateway: separate per-job webhook delivery (`delivery.mode = "webhook"`) from announce delivery, enforce valid HTTP(S) webhook URLs, and keep a temporary legacy `notify + cron.webhook` fallback for stored jobs. (#17901) Thanks @advaitpaliwal.
+- Cron/CLI: add deterministic default stagger for recurring top-of-hour cron schedules (including 6-field seconds cron), auto-migrate existing jobs to persisted `schedule.staggerMs`, and add `openclaw cron add/edit --stagger <duration>` plus `--exact` overrides for per-job timing control.
+- Cron: log per-run model/provider usage telemetry in cron run logs/webhooks and add a local usage report script for aggregating token usage by job. (#18172) Thanks @HankAndTheCrew.
+- Tools/Web: add URL allowlists for `web_search` and `web_fetch`. (#18584) Thanks @smartprogrammer93.
+- Browser: add `extraArgs` config for custom Chrome launch arguments. (#18443) Thanks @JayMishra-source.
+- Voice Call: pre-cache inbound greeting TTS for faster first playback. (#18447) Thanks @JayMishra-source.
+- Skills: compact skill file `<location>` paths in the system prompt by replacing home-directory prefixes with `~`, and add targeted compaction tests for prompt serialization behavior. (#14776) Thanks @bitfish3.
+- Skills: refine skill-description routing boundaries with explicit "Use when"/"NOT for" guidance for coding-agent/github/weather, and clarify PTY/browser fallback wording. (#14577) Thanks @DylanWoodAkers.
+- Auto-reply/Prompts: include trusted inbound `message_id` in conversation metadata payloads for downstream targeting workflows. Thanks @tyler6204.
+- Auto-reply: include `sender_id` in trusted inbound metadata so moderation workflows can target the sender without relying on untrusted text. (#18303) Thanks @crimeacs.
+- UI/Sessions: avoid duplicating typed session prefixes in display names (for example `Subagent Subagent ...`). Thanks @tyler6204.
+- Agents/Z.AI: enable `tool_stream` by default for real-time tool call streaming, with opt-out via `params.tool_stream: false`. (#18173) Thanks @tianxiao1430-jpg.
+- Plugins: add `before_agent_start` model/provider overrides before resolution. (#18568) Thanks @natefikru.
+- Mattermost: add emoji reaction actions plus reaction event notifications, including an explicit boolean `remove` flag to avoid accidental removals. (#18608) Thanks @echo931.
+- Memory/Search: add FTS fallback plus query expansion for memory search. (#18304) Thanks @irchelper.
+- Agents/Models: support per-model `thinkingDefault` overrides in model config. (#18152) Thanks @wu-tian807.
+- Agents: enable `llms.txt` discovery in default behavior. (#18158) Thanks @yolo-maxi.
+- Extensions/Auth: add OpenAI Codex CLI auth provider integration. (#18009) Thanks @jiteshdhamaniya.
+- Feishu: add Bitable create-app/create-field tools for automation workflows. (#17963) Thanks @gaowanqi08141999.
+- Docker: add optional `OPENCLAW_INSTALL_BROWSER` build arg to preinstall Chromium + Xvfb in the Docker image, avoiding runtime Playwright installs. (#18449)
+
+### Fixes
+
+- Tests/Telegram: add regression coverage for command-menu sync that asserts all `setMyCommands` entries are Telegram-safe and hyphen-normalized across native/custom/plugin command sources. (#19703) Thanks @obviyus.
+- Agents/Image: collapse resize diagnostics to one line per image and include visible pixel/byte size details in the log message for faster triage.
+- Agents/Subagents: preemptively guard accumulated tool-result context before model calls by truncating oversized outputs and compacting oldest tool-result messages to avoid context-window overflow crashes. Thanks @tyler6204.
+- Agents/Subagents/CLI: fail `sessions_spawn` when subagent model patching is rejected, allow subagent model patch defaults from `subagents.model`, and keep `sessions list`/`status` model reporting aligned to runtime model resolution. (#18660) Thanks @robbyczgw-cla.
+- Agents/Subagents: add explicit subagent guidance to recover from `[compacted: tool output removed to free context]` / `[truncated: output exceeded context limit]` markers by re-reading with smaller chunks instead of full-file `cat`. Thanks @tyler6204.
+- Agents/Tools: make `read` auto-page across chunks (when no explicit `limit` is provided) and scale its per-call output budget from model `contextWindow`, so larger contexts can read more before context guards kick in. Thanks @tyler6204.
+- Agents/Tools: strip duplicated `read` truncation payloads from tool-result `details` and make pre-call context guarding account for heavy tool-result metadata, so repeated `read` calls no longer bypass compaction and overflow model context windows. Thanks @tyler6204.
+- Reply threading: keep reply context sticky across streamed/split chunks and preserve `replyToId` on all chunk sends across shared and channel-specific delivery paths (including iMessage, BlueBubbles, Telegram, Discord, and Matrix), so follow-up bubbles stay attached to the same referenced message. Thanks @tyler6204.
+- Gateway/Agent: defer transient lifecycle `error` snapshots with a short grace window so `agent.wait` does not resolve early during retry/failover. Thanks @tyler6204.
+- Gateway/Presence: centralize presence snapshot broadcasts and unify runtime version precedence (`OPENCLAW_VERSION` > `OPENCLAW_SERVICE_VERSION` > `npm_package_version`) so self-presence and websocket `hello-ok` report consistent versions.
+- Hooks/Automation: bridge outbound/inbound message lifecycle into internal hook events (`message:received`, `message:sent`) with session-key correlation guards, while keeping per-payload success/error reporting accurate for chunked and best-effort deliveries. (PR #9387)
+- Media understanding: honor `agents.defaults.imageModel` during auto-discovery so implicit image analysis uses configured primary/fallback image models. (PR #7607)
+- iOS/Onboarding: stop auth Step 3 retry-loop churn by pausing reconnect attempts on unauthorized/missing-token gateway errors and keeping auth/pairing issue state sticky during manual retry. (#19153) Thanks @mbelinky.
+- Voice-call: auto-end calls when media streams disconnect to prevent stuck active calls. (#18435) Thanks @JayMishra-source.
+- Voice call/Gateway: prevent overlapping closed-loop turn races with per-call turn locking, route transcript dedupe via source-aware fingerprints with strict cache eviction bounds, and harden `voicecall latency` stats for large logs without spread-operator stack overflow. (#19140) Thanks @mbelinky.
+- iOS/Chat: route ChatSheet RPCs through the operator session instead of the node session to avoid node-role authorization failures for `chat.history`, `chat.send`, and `sessions.list`. (#19320) Thanks @mbelinky.
+- macOS/Update: correct the Sparkle appcast version for 2026.2.15 so updates are offered again. (#18201)
+- Gateway/Auth: clear stale device-auth tokens after device token mismatch errors so re-paired clients can re-auth. (#18201)
+- Telegram: enable DM voice-note transcription with CLI fallback handling. (#18564) Thanks @thhuang.
+- Telegram/Polls: restore Telegram poll action wiring in channel handlers. (#18122) Thanks @akyourowngames.
+- WebChat: strip reply/audio directive tags from rendered chat output. (#18093) Thanks @aldoeliacim.
+- Discord: honor configured HTTP proxy for app-id and allowlist REST resolution. (#17958) Thanks @k2009.
+- BlueBubbles: add fallback path to recover outbound `message_id` from `fromMe` webhooks when platform message IDs are missing. Thanks @tyler6204.
+- BlueBubbles: match outbound message-id fallback recovery by chat identifier as well as account context. Thanks @tyler6204.
+- BlueBubbles: include sender identifier in untrusted conversation metadata for conversation info payloads. Thanks @tyler6204.
+- Security/Exec: fix the OC-09 credential-theft path via environment-variable injection. (#18048) Thanks @aether-ai-agent.
+- Security/Config: confine `$include` resolution to the top-level config directory, harden traversal/symlink checks with cross-platform-safe path containment, and add doctor hints for invalid escaped include paths. (#18652) Thanks @aether-ai-agent.
+- Providers: improve error messaging for unconfigured local `ollama`/`vllm` providers. (#18183) Thanks @arosstale.
+- TTS: surface all provider errors instead of only the last error in aggregated failures. (#17964) Thanks @ikari-pl.
+- CLI/Doctor/Configure: skip gateway auth checks for loopback-only setups. (#18407) Thanks @sggolakiya.
+- CLI/Doctor: reconcile gateway service-token drift after re-pair flows. (#18525) Thanks @norunners.
+- Process/Windows: disable detached spawn in exec runs to prevent empty command output. (#18067) Thanks @arosstale.
+- Process: gracefully terminate process trees with SIGTERM before SIGKILL. (#18626) Thanks @sauerdaniel.
+- Sessions/Windows: use atomic session-store writes to prevent context loss on Windows. (#18347) Thanks @twcwinston.
+- Agents/Image: validate base64 image payloads before provider submission. (#18263) Thanks @sriram369.
+- Models CLI: validate catalog entries in `openclaw models set`. (#18129) Thanks @carrotRakko.
+- Usage: isolate last-turn totals in token usage reporting to avoid mixed-turn totals. (#18052) Thanks @arosstale.
+- Cron: resolve `accountId` from agent bindings in isolated sessions. (#17996) Thanks @simonemacario.
+- Gateway/HTTP: preserve unbracketed IPv6 `Host` headers when normalizing requests. (#18061) Thanks @Clawborn.
+- Sandbox: fix workspace-directory orphaning during SHA-1 -> SHA-256 slug migration. (#18523) Thanks @yinghaosang.
+- Ollama/Qwen: handle Qwen 3 reasoning field format in Ollama responses. (#18631) Thanks @mr-sk.
+- OpenAI/Transcripts: always drop orphaned reasoning blocks from transcript repair. (#18632) Thanks @TySabs.
+- Fix types in all tests. Typecheck the whole repository.
+- Gateway/Channels: wire `gateway.channelHealthCheckMinutes` into strict config validation, treat implicit account status as managed for health checks, and harden channel auto-restart flow (preserve restart-attempt caps across crash loops, propagate enabled/configured runtime flags, and stop pending restart backoff after manual stop). Thanks @steipete.
+- Gateway/WebChat: hard-cap `chat.history` oversized payloads by truncating high-cost fields and replacing over-budget entries with placeholders, so history fetches stay within configured byte limits and avoid chat UI freezes. (#18505)
+- UI/Usage: replace lingering undefined `var(--text-muted)` usage with `var(--muted)` in usage date-range and chart styles to keep muted text visible across themes. (#17975) Thanks @jogelin.
+- UI/Usage: preserve selected-range totals when timeline data is downsampled by bucket-aggregating timeseries points (instead of dropping intermediate points), so filtered tokens/cost stay accurate. (#17959) Thanks @jogelin.
+- UI/Sessions: refresh the sessions table only after successful deletes and preserve delete errors on cancel/failure paths, so deleted sessions disappear automatically without masking delete failures. (#18507)
+- Scripts/UI/Windows: fix `pnpm ui:*` spawn `EINVAL` failures by restoring shell-backed launch for `.cmd`/`.bat` runners, narrowing shell usage to launcher types that require it, and rejecting unsafe forwarded shell metacharacters in UI script args. (#18594)
+- Hooks/Session-memory: recover `/new` conversation summaries when session pointers are reset-path or missing `sessionFile`, and consistently prefer the newest `.jsonl.reset.*` transcript candidate for fallback extraction. (#18088)
+- Auto-reply/Sessions: prevent stale thread ID leakage into non-thread sessions so replies stay in the main DM after topic interactions. (#18528) Thanks @j2h4u.
+- Slack: restrict forwarded-attachment ingestion to explicit shared-message attachments and skip non-Slack forwarded `image_url` fetches, preventing non-forward attachment unfurls from polluting inbound agent context while preserving forwarded message handling.
+- Feishu: detect bot mentions in post messages with embedded docs when `message.mentions` is empty. (#18074) Thanks @popomore.
+- Agents/Sessions: align session lock watchdog hold windows with run and compaction timeout budgets (plus grace), preventing valid long-running turns from being force-unlocked mid-run while still recovering hung lock owners. (#18060)
+- Cron: preserve default model fallbacks for cron agent runs when only `model.primary` is overridden, so failover still follows configured fallbacks unless explicitly cleared with `fallbacks: []`. (#18210) Thanks @mahsumaktas.
+- Cron: route text-only announce output through the main session announce flow via runSubagentAnnounceFlow so cron text-only output remains visible to the initiating session. Thanks @tyler6204.
+- Cron: treat `timeoutSeconds: 0` as no-timeout (not clamped to 1), ensuring long-running cron runs are not prematurely terminated. Thanks @tyler6204.
+- Cron announce injection now targets the session determined by delivery config (`to` + channel) instead of defaulting to the current session. Thanks @tyler6204.
+- Cron/Heartbeat: canonicalize session-scoped reminder `sessionKey` routing and preserve explicit flat `sessionKey` cron tool inputs, preventing enqueue/wake namespace drift for session-targeted reminders. (#18637) Thanks @vignesh07.
+- Cron/Webhooks: reuse existing session IDs for webhook/cron runs when the session key is stable and still fresh, preserving conversation history. (#18031) Thanks @Operative-001.

+- iOS/Location: restore the significant location monitor implementation (service hooks + protocol surface + ATS key alignment) after merge drift so iOS builds compile again. (#18260) Thanks @ngutman.
+- iOS/Signing: auto-select local Apple Development team during iOS project generation/build, prefer the canonical OpenClaw team when available, and support local per-machine signing overrides without committing team IDs. (#18421) Thanks @ngutman.
+- Discord/Telegram: make per-account message action gates effective for both action listing and execution, and preserve top-level gate restrictions when account overrides only specify a subset of `actions` keys (account key -> base key -> default fallback). (#18494)
+- Telegram: keep DM-topic replies and draft previews in the originating private-chat topic by preserving positive `message_thread_id` values for DM threads. (#18586) Thanks @sebslight.
+- Telegram: preserve private-chat topic `message_thread_id` on outbound sends (message/sticker/poll), keep thread-not-found retry fallback, and avoid masking `chat not found` routing errors. (#18993) Thanks @obviyus.
+- Discord: prevent duplicate media delivery when the model uses the `message send` tool with media, by skipping media extraction from messaging tool results since the tool already sent the message directly. (#18270)
+- Discord: route `audioAsVoice` auto-replies through the voice message API so opt-in audio renders as voice messages. (#18041) Thanks @zerone0x.
+- Discord: skip auto-thread creation in forum/media/voice/stage channels and keep group session last-route metadata fresh to avoid invalid thread API errors and lost follow-up sends. (#18098) Thanks @Clawborn.
+- Discord/Commands: normalize `commands.allowFrom` entries with `user:`/`discord:`/`pk:` prefixes and `<@id>` mentions so command authorization matches Discord allowlist behavior. (#18042)
+- Telegram: keep draft-stream preview replies attached to the user message for `replyToMode: "all"` in groups and DMs, preserving threaded reply context from preview through finalization. (#17880) Thanks @yinghaosang.
+- Telegram: prevent streaming final replies from being overwritten by later final/error payloads, and suppress fallback tool-error warnings when a recovered assistant answer already exists after tool calls. (#17883) Thanks @Marvae and @obviyus.
+- Telegram: debounce the first draft-stream preview update (30-char threshold) and finalize short responses by editing the stop-time preview message, improving first push notifications and avoiding duplicate final sends. (#18148) Thanks @Marvae.
+- Telegram: disable block streaming when `channels.telegram.streamMode` is `off`, preventing newline/content-block replies from splitting into multiple messages. (#17679) Thanks @saivarunk.
+- Telegram: keep `streamMode: "partial"` draft previews in a single message across assistant-message/reasoning boundaries, preventing duplicate preview bubbles during partial-mode tool-call turns. (#18956) Thanks @obviyus.
+- Telegram: normalize native command names for Telegram menu registration (`-` -> `_`) to avoid `BOT_COMMAND_INVALID` command-menu wipeouts, and log failed command syncs instead of silently swallowing them. (#19257) Thanks @akramcodez.
+- Telegram: route non-abort slash commands on the normal chat/topic sequential lane while keeping true abort requests (`/stop`, `stop`) on the control lane, preventing command/reply race conditions from control-lane bypass. (#17899) Thanks @obviyus.
+- Telegram: ignore `<media:...>` placeholder lines when extracting `MEDIA:` tool-result paths, preventing false local-file reads and dropped replies. (#18510) Thanks @yinghaosang.
+- Telegram: skip retries when inbound media `getFile` fails with Telegram's 20MB limit and continue processing message text, avoiding dropped messages for oversized attachments. (#18531) Thanks @brandonwise.
+- Telegram: clear stored polling offsets when bot tokens change or accounts are deleted, preventing stale offsets after token rotations. (#18233)
+- Telegram: enable `autoSelectFamily` by default on Node.js 22+ so IPv4 fallback works on broken IPv6 networks. (#18272) Thanks @nacho9900.
+- Auto-reply/TTS: keep tool-result media delivery enabled in group chats and native command sessions (while still suppressing tool summary text) so `NO_REPLY` follow-ups do not drop successful TTS audio. (#17991) Thanks @zerone0x.
+- Agents/Tools: deliver tool-result media even when verbose tool output is off so media attachments are not dropped. (#16679)
+- Discord: optimize reaction notification handling to skip unnecessary message fetches in `off`/`all`/`allowlist` modes, streamline reaction routing, and improve reaction emoji formatting. (#18248) Thanks @thewilloftheshadow and @victorGPT.
+- CLI/Pairing: make `openclaw qr --remote` prefer `gateway.remote.url` over tailscale/public URL resolution and register the `openclaw clawbot qr` legacy alias path. (#18091)
+- CLI/QR: restore fail-fast validation for `openclaw qr --remote` when neither `gateway.remote.url` nor tailscale `serve`/`funnel` is configured, preventing unusable remote pairing QR flows. (#18166) Thanks @mbelinky.
+- CLI: fix parent/subcommand option collisions across gateway, daemon, update, ACP, and browser command flows, while preserving legacy `browser set headers --json <payload>` compatibility.
+- CLI/Doctor: ensure `openclaw doctor --fix --non-interactive --yes` exits promptly after completion so one-shot automation no longer hangs. (#18502)
+- CLI/Doctor: auto-repair `dmPolicy="open"` configs missing wildcard allowlists and write channel-correct repair paths (including `channels.googlechat.dm.allowFrom`) so `openclaw doctor --fix` no longer leaves Google Chat configs invalid after attempted repair. (#18544)
+- CLI/Doctor: detect gateway service token drift when the gateway token is only provided via environment variables, keeping service repairs aligned after token rotation.
+- Gateway/Update: prevent restart crash loops after failed self-updates by restarting only on successful updates, stopping early on failed install/build steps, and running `openclaw doctor --fix` during updates to sanitize config. (#18131) Thanks @RamiNoodle733.
+- Gateway/Update: preserve update.run restart delivery context so post-update status replies route back to the initiating channel/thread. (#18267) Thanks @yinghaosang.
+- CLI/Update: run a standalone restart helper after updates, honoring service-name overrides and reporting restart initiation separately from confirmed restarts. (#18050)
+- CLI/Daemon: warn when a gateway restart sees a stale service token so users can reinstall with `openclaw gateway install --force`, and skip drift warnings for non-gateway service restarts. (#18018)
+- CLI/Daemon: prefer the active version-manager Node when installing daemons and include macOS version-manager bin directories in the service PATH so launchd services resolve user-managed runtimes.
+- CLI/Status: fix `openclaw status --all` token summaries for bot-token-only channels so Mattermost/Zalo no longer show a bot+app warning. (#18527) Thanks @echo931.
+- CLI/Configure: make the `/model picker` allowlist prompt searchable with tokenized matching in `openclaw configure` so users can filter huge model lists by typing terms like `gpt-5.2 openai/`. (#19010) Thanks @bjesuiter.
+- CLI/Message: preserve `--components` JSON payloads in `openclaw message send` so Discord component payloads are no longer dropped. (#18222) Thanks @saurabhchopade.
+- Voice Call: add an optional stale call reaper (`staleCallReaperSeconds`) to end stuck calls when enabled. (#18437)
+- Auto-reply/Subagents: propagate group context (`groupId`, `groupChannel`, `space`) when spawning via `/subagents spawn`, matching tool-triggered subagent spawn behavior.
+- Subagents: route nested announce results back to the parent session after the parent run ends, falling back only when the parent session is deleted. (#18043) Thanks @tyler6204.
+- Subagents: cap announce retry loops with max attempts and expiry to prevent infinite retry spam after deferred announces. (#18444)
+- Agents/Tools/exec: add a preflight guard that detects likely shell env var injection (e.g. `$DM_JSON`, `$TMPDIR`) in Python/Node scripts before execution, preventing recurring cron failures and wasted tokens when models emit mixed shell+language source. (#12836)
+- Agents/Tools/exec: treat normal non-zero exit codes as completed and append the exit code to tool output to avoid false tool-failure warnings. (#18425)
+- Agents/Tools: make loop detection progress-aware and phased by hard-blocking known `process(action=poll|log)` no-progress loops, warning on generic identical-call repeats, warning + no-progress-blocking ping-pong alternation loops (10/20), coalescing repeated warning spam into threshold buckets (including canonical ping-pong pairs), adding a global circuit breaker at 30 no-progress repeats, and emitting structured diagnostic `tool.loop` warning/error events for loop actions. (#16808) Thanks @akramcodez and @beca-oc.
+- Agents/Hooks: preserve the `before_tool_call` wrapped-marker across abort-signal tool wrapping so the hook runs once per tool call in normal agent sessions. (#16852) Thanks @sreuter.
+- Agents/Tests: add `before_message_write` persistence regression coverage for block/mutate behavior (including synthetic tool-result flushes) and thrown-hook fallback persistence. (#18197) Thanks @shakkernerd
+- Agents/Tools: scope the `message` tool schema to the active channel so Telegram uses `buttons` and Discord uses `components`. (#18215) Thanks @obviyus.
+- Agents/Image tool: replace Anthropic-incompatible union schema with explicit `image` (single) and `images` (multi) parameters, keeping tool schemas `anyOf`/`oneOf`/`allOf`-free while preserving multi-image analysis support. (#18551, #18566) Thanks @aldoeliacim.
+- Agents/Models: probe the primary model when its auth-profile cooldown is near expiry (with per-provider throttling), so runs recover from temporary rate limits without staying on fallback models until restart. (#17478) Thanks @PlayerGhost.
+- Agents/Failover: classify provider abort stop-reason errors (`Unhandled stop reason: abort`, `stop reason: abort`, `reason: abort`) as timeout-class failures so configured model fallback chains trigger instead of surfacing raw abort failures. (#18618) Thanks @sauerdaniel.
+- Models/CLI: sync auth-profiles credentials into agent `auth.json` before registry availability checks so `openclaw models list --all` reports auth correctly for API-key/token providers, normalize provider-id aliases when bridging credentials, and skip expired token mirrors. (#18610, #18615)
+- Agents/Context: raise default total bootstrap prompt cap from `24000` to `150000` chars (keeping `bootstrapMaxChars` at `20000`), include total-cap visibility in `/context`, and mark truncation from injected-vs-raw sizes so total-cap clipping is reflected accurately.
+- Memory/QMD: scope managed collection names per agent and precreate glob-backed collection directories before registration, preventing cross-agent collection clobbering and startup ENOENT failures in fresh workspaces. (#17194) Thanks @jonathanadams96.
+- Cron: preserve per-job schedule-error isolation in post-run maintenance recompute so malformed sibling jobs no longer abort persistence of successful runs. (#17852) Thanks @pierreeurope.
+- Gateway/Config: prevent `config.patch` object-array merges from falling back to full-array replacement when some patch entries lack `id`, so partial `agents.list` updates no longer drop unrelated agents. (#17989) Thanks @stakeswky.
+- Gateway/Auth: trim whitespace around trusted proxy entries before matching so configured proxies with stray spaces still authorize. (#18084) Thanks @Clawborn.
+- Config/Discord: require string IDs in Discord allowlists, keep onboarding inputs string-only, and add doctor repair for numeric entries. (#18220) Thanks @thewilloftheshadow.
+- Security/Sessions: create new session transcript JSONL files with user-only (`0o600`) permissions and extend `openclaw security audit --fix` to remediate existing transcript file permissions.
+- Sessions/Maintenance: archive transcripts when pruning stale sessions, clean expired media in subdirectories, and purge `.deleted` transcript archives after the prune window to prevent disk leaks. (#18538)
+- Infra/Fetch: ensure foreign abort-signal listener cleanup never masks original fetch successes/failures, while still preventing detached-finally unhandled rejection noise in `wrapFetchWithAbortSignal`. Thanks @Jackten.
+- Heartbeat: allow suppressing tool error warning payloads during heartbeat runs via a new heartbeat config flag. (#18497) Thanks @thewilloftheshadow.
+- Heartbeat: include sender metadata (From/To/Provider) in heartbeat prompts so model context matches the delivery target. (#18532) Thanks @dinakars777.
+- Heartbeat/Telegram: strip configured `responsePrefix` before heartbeat ack detection (with boundary-safe matching) so prefixed `HEARTBEAT_OK` replies are correctly suppressed instead of leaking into DMs. (#18602)

+### Changes
+
+- Discord: unlock rich interactive agent prompts with Components v2 (buttons, selects, modals, and attachment-backed file blocks) so for native interaction through Discord. Thanks @thewilloftheshadow.
+- Discord: components v2 UI + embeds passthrough + exec approval UX refinements (CV2 containers, button layout, Discord-forwarding skip). Thanks @thewilloftheshadow.
+- Plugins: expose `llm_input` and `llm_output` hook payloads so extensions can observe prompt/input context and model output usage details. (#16724) Thanks @SecondThread.
+- Subagents: nested sub-agents (sub-sub-agents) with configurable depth. Set `agents.defaults.subagents.maxSpawnDepth: 2` to allow sub-agents to spawn their own children. Includes `maxChildrenPerAgent` limit (default 5), depth-aware tool policy, and proper announce chain routing. (#14447) Thanks @tyler6204.
+- Slack/Discord/Telegram: add per-channel ack reaction overrides (account/channel-level) to support platform-specific emoji formats. (#17092) Thanks @zerone0x.
+- Telegram: add `channel_post` inbound support for channel-based bot-to-bot wake/trigger flows, with channel allowlist gating and message/media batching parity.
+- Cron/Gateway: add finished-run webhook delivery toggle (`notify`) and dedicated webhook auth token support (`cron.webhookToken`) for outbound cron webhook posts. (#14535) Thanks @advaitpaliwal.
+- Channels: deduplicate probe/token resolution base types across core + extensions while preserving per-channel error typing. (#16986) Thanks @iyoda and @thewilloftheshadow.
+- Memory: add MMR (Maximal Marginal Relevance) re-ranking for hybrid search diversity. Configurable via `memorySearch.query.hybrid.mmr`. Thanks @rodrigouroz.
+- Memory: add opt-in temporal decay for hybrid search scoring, with configurable half-life via `memorySearch.query.hybrid.temporalDecay`. Thanks @rodrigouroz.
+
+### Fixes
+
+- Discord: send initial content when creating non-forum threads so `thread-create` content is delivered. (#18117) Thanks @zerone0x.
+- Security: replace deprecated SHA-1 sandbox configuration hashing with SHA-256 for deterministic sandbox cache identity and recreation checks. Thanks @kexinoh.
+- Security/Logging: redact Telegram bot tokens from error messages and uncaught stack traces to prevent accidental secret leakage into logs. Thanks @aether-ai-agent.
+- Sandbox/Security: block dangerous sandbox Docker config (bind mounts, host networking, unconfined seccomp/apparmor) to prevent container escape via config injection. Thanks @aether-ai-agent.
+- Sandbox: preserve array order in config hashing so order-sensitive Docker/browser settings trigger container recreation correctly. Thanks @kexinoh.
+- Gateway/Security: redact sensitive session/path details from `status` responses for non-admin clients; full details remain available to `operator.admin`. (#8590) Thanks @fr33d3m0n.
+- Gateway/Control UI: preserve requested operator scopes for Control UI bypass modes (`allowInsecureAuth` / `dangerouslyDisableDeviceAuth`) when device identity is unavailable, preventing false `missing scope` failures on authenticated LAN/HTTP operator sessions. (#17682) Thanks @leafbird.
+- LINE/Security: fail closed on webhook startup when channel token or channel secret is missing, and treat LINE accounts as configured only when both are present. (#17587) Thanks @davidahmann.
+- Skills/Security: restrict `download` installer `targetDir` to the per-skill tools directory to prevent arbitrary file writes. Thanks @Adam55A-code.
+- Skills/Linux: harden go installer fallback on apt-based systems by handling root/no-sudo environments safely, doing best-effort apt index refresh, and returning actionable errors instead of failing with spawn errors. (#17687) Thanks @mcrolly.
+- Web Fetch/Security: cap downloaded response body size before HTML parsing to prevent memory exhaustion from oversized or deeply nested pages. Thanks @xuemian168.
+- Config/Gateway: make sensitive-key whitelist suffix matching case-insensitive while preserving `passwordFile` path exemptions, preventing accidental redaction of non-secret config values like `maxTokens` and IRC password-file paths. (#16042) Thanks @akramcodez.
+- Dev tooling: harden git `pre-commit` hook against option injection from malicious filenames (for example `--force`), preventing accidental staging of ignored files. Thanks @mrthankyou.
+- Gateway/Agent: reject malformed `agent:`-prefixed session keys (for example, `agent:main`) in `agent` and `agent.identity.get` instead of silently resolving them to the default agent, preventing accidental cross-session routing. (#15707) Thanks @rodrigouroz.
+- Gateway/Chat: harden `chat.send` inbound message handling by rejecting null bytes, stripping unsafe control characters, and normalizing Unicode to NFC before dispatch. (#8593) Thanks @fr33d3m0n.
+- Gateway/Send: return an actionable error when `send` targets internal-only `webchat`, guiding callers to use `chat.send` or a deliverable channel. (#15703) Thanks @rodrigouroz.
+- Gateway/Commands: keep webchat command authorization on the internal `webchat` context instead of inferring another provider from channel allowlists, fixing dropped `/new`/`/status` commands in Control UI when channel allowlists are configured. (#7189) Thanks @karlisbergmanis-lv.
+- Control UI: prevent stored XSS via assistant name/avatar by removing inline script injection, serving bootstrap config as JSON, and enforcing `script-src 'self'`. Thanks @Adam55A-code.
+- Agents/Security: sanitize workspace paths before embedding into LLM prompts (strip Unicode control/format chars) to prevent instruction injection via malicious directory names. Thanks @aether-ai-agent.
+- Agents/Sandbox: clarify system prompt path guidance so sandbox `bash/exec` uses container paths (for example `/workspace`) while file tools keep host-bridge mapping, avoiding first-attempt path misses from host-only absolute paths in sandbox command execution. (#17693) Thanks @app/juniordevbot.
+- Agents/Context: apply configured model `contextWindow` overrides after provider discovery so `lookupContextTokens()` honors operator config values (including discovery-failure paths). (#17404) Thanks @michaelbship and @vignesh07.
+- Agents/Context: derive `lookupContextTokens()` from auth-available model metadata and keep the smallest discovered context window for duplicate model ids, preventing cross-provider cache collisions from overestimating session context limits. (#17586) Thanks @githabideri and @vignesh07.
+- Agents/OpenAI: force `store=true` for direct OpenAI Responses/Codex runs to preserve multi-turn server-side conversation state, while leaving proxy/non-OpenAI endpoints unchanged. (#16803) Thanks @mark9232 and @vignesh07.
+- Memory/FTS: make `buildFtsQuery` Unicode-aware so non-ASCII queries (including CJK) produce keyword tokens instead of falling back to vector-only search. (#17672) Thanks @KinGP5471.
+- Auto-reply/Compaction: resolve `memory/YYYY-MM-DD.md` placeholders with timezone-aware runtime dates and append a `Current time:` line to memory-flush turns, preventing wrong-year memory filenames without making the system prompt time-variant. (#17603, #17633) Thanks @nicholaspapadam-wq and @vignesh07.
+- Auth/Cooldowns: auto-expire stale auth profile cooldowns when `cooldownUntil` or `disabledUntil` timestamps have passed, and reset `errorCount` so the next transient failure does not immediately escalate to a disproportionately long cooldown. Handles `cooldownUntil` and `disabledUntil` independently. (#3604) Thanks @nabbilkhan.
+- Agents: return an explicit timeout error reply when an embedded run times out before producing any payloads, preventing silent dropped turns during slow cache-refresh transitions. (#16659) Thanks @liaosvcaf and @vignesh07.
 - Group chats: always inject group chat context (name, participants, reply guidance) into the system prompt on every turn, not just the first. Prevents the model from losing awareness of which group it's in and incorrectly using the message tool to send to the same group. (#14447) Thanks @tyler6204.
+- Browser/Agents: when browser control service is unavailable, return explicit non-retry guidance (instead of "try again") so models do not loop on repeated browser tool calls until timeout. (#17673) Thanks @austenstone.
+- Subagents: use child-run-based deterministic announce idempotency keys across direct and queued delivery paths (with legacy queued-item fallback) to prevent duplicate announce retries without collapsing distinct same-millisecond announces. (#17150) Thanks @widingmarcus-cyber.
+- Subagents/Models: preserve `agents.defaults.model.fallbacks` when subagent sessions carry a model override, so subagent runs fail over to configured fallback models instead of retrying only the overridden primary model.
+- Agents/Tools: scope the `message` tool schema to the active channel so Telegram uses `buttons` and Discord uses `components`. (#18215) Thanks @obviyus.
+- Telegram: omit `message_thread_id` for DM sends/draft previews and keep forum-topic handling (`id=1` general omitted, non-general kept), preventing DM failures with `400 Bad Request: message thread not found`. (#10942) Thanks @garnetlyx.
+- Telegram: replace inbound `<media:audio>` placeholder with successful preflight voice transcript in message body context, preventing placeholder-only prompt bodies for mention-gated voice messages. (#16789) Thanks @Limitless2023.
+- Telegram: retry inbound media `getFile` calls (3 attempts with backoff) and gracefully fall back to placeholder-only processing when retries fail, preventing dropped voice/media messages on transient Telegram network errors. (#16154) Thanks @yinghaosang.
+- Telegram: finalize streaming preview replies in place instead of sending a second final message, preventing duplicate Telegram assistant outputs at stream completion. (#17218) Thanks @obviyus.
+- Discord: preserve channel session continuity when runtime payloads omit `message.channelId` by falling back to event/raw `channel_id` values for routing/session keys, so same-channel messages keep history across turns/restarts. Also align diagnostics so active Discord runs no longer appear as `sessionKey=unknown`. (#17622) Thanks @shakkernerd.
+- Discord: dedupe native skill commands by skill name in multi-agent setups to prevent duplicated slash commands with `_2` suffixes. (#17365) Thanks @seewhyme.
+- Discord: ensure role allowlist matching uses raw role IDs for message routing authorization. Thanks @xinhuagu.
+- Discord: skip text-based exec approval forwarding in favor of Discord's component-based approval UI. Thanks @thewilloftheshadow.
+- Web UI/Agents: hide `BOOTSTRAP.md` in the Agents Files list after onboarding is completed, avoiding confusing missing-file warnings for completed workspaces. (#17491) Thanks @gumadeiras.
+- Memory/QMD: scope managed collection names per agent and precreate glob-backed collection directories before registration, preventing cross-agent collection clobbering and startup ENOENT failures in fresh workspaces. (#17194) Thanks @jonathanadams96.
+- Gateway/Memory: initialize QMD startup sync for every configured agent (not just the default agent), so `memory.qmd.update.onBoot` is effective across multi-agent setups. (#17663) Thanks @HenryLoenwind.
+- Auto-reply/WhatsApp/TUI/Web: when a final assistant message is `NO_REPLY` and a messaging tool send succeeded, mirror the delivered messaging-tool text into session-visible assistant output so TUI/Web no longer show `NO_REPLY` placeholders. (#7010) Thanks @Morrowind-Xie.
+- Cron: infer `payload.kind="agentTurn"` for model-only `cron.update` payload patches, so partial agent-turn updates do not fail validation when `kind` is omitted. (#15664) Thanks @rodrigouroz.
 - TUI: make searchable-select filtering and highlight rendering ANSI-aware so queries ignore hidden escape codes and no longer corrupt ANSI styling sequences during match highlighting. (#4519) Thanks @bee4come.
 - TUI/Windows: coalesce rapid single-line submit bursts in Git Bash into one multiline message as a fallback when bracketed paste is unavailable, preventing pasted multiline text from being split into multiple sends. (#4986) Thanks @adamkane.
 - TUI: suppress false `(no output)` placeholders for non-local empty final events during concurrent runs, preventing external-channel replies from showing empty assistant bubbles while a local run is still streaming. (#5782) Thanks @LagWizard and @vignesh07.
-- Auto-reply/WhatsApp/TUI/Web: when a final assistant message is `NO_REPLY` and a messaging tool send succeeded, mirror the delivered messaging-tool text into session-visible assistant output so TUI/Web no longer show `NO_REPLY` placeholders. (#7010) Thanks @Morrowind-Xie.
-- Gateway/Chat: harden `chat.send` inbound message handling by rejecting null bytes, stripping unsafe control characters, and normalizing Unicode to NFC before dispatch. (#8593) Thanks @fr33d3m0n.

+- TUI: preserve copy-sensitive long tokens (URLs/paths/file-like identifiers) during wrapping and overflow sanitization so wrapped output no longer inserts spaces that corrupt copy/paste values. (#17515, #17466, #17505) Thanks @abe238, @trevorpan, and @JasonCry.
 - CLI/Build: make legacy daemon CLI compatibility shim generation tolerant of minimal tsdown daemon export sets, while preserving restart/register compatibility aliases and surfacing explicit errors for unavailable legacy daemon commands. Thanks @vignesh07.
-- Telegram: replace inbound `<media:audio>` placeholder with successful preflight voice transcript in message body context, preventing placeholder-only prompt bodies for mention-gated voice messages. (#16789) Thanks @Limitless2023.

(#16539) Thanks @CharlieGreenman.
 - Agents/Workspace: persist bootstrap onboarding state so partially initialized workspaces recover missing `BOOTSTRAP.md` once, while completed onboarding keeps BOOTSTRAP deleted even if runtime files are later recreated. Thanks @gumadeiras.

 - Ollama/Agents: avoid forcing `<final>` tag enforcement for Ollama models, which could suppress all output as `(no output)`. (#16191) Thanks @Glucksberg.
 - Plugins: suppress false duplicate plugin id warnings when the same extension is discovered via multiple paths (config/workspace/global vs bundled), while still warning on genuine duplicates. (#16222) Thanks @shadril238.

+## OpenClaw Vision
+
+OpenClaw is the AI that actually does things.
+It runs on your devices, in your channels, with your rules.
+
+This document explains the current state and direction of the project.
+We are still early, so iteration is fast.
+Project overview and developer docs: [`README.md`](README.md)
+Contribution guide: [`CONTRIBUTING.md`](CONTRIBUTING.md)
+
+OpenClaw started as a personal playground to learn AI and build something genuinely useful:
+an assistant that can run real tasks on a real computer.
+It evolved through several names and shells: Warelay -> Clawdbot -> Moltbot -> OpenClaw.
+
+The goal: a personal assistant that is easy to use, supports a wide range of platforms, and respects privacy and security.
+
+The current focus is:
+
+Priority:
+
+- Security and safe defaults
+- Bug fixes and stability
+- Setup reliability and first-run UX
+
+Next priorities:
+
+- Supporting all major model providers
+- Improving support for major messaging channels (and adding a few high-demand ones)
+- Performance and test infrastructure
+- Better computer-use and agent harness capabilities
+- Ergonomics across CLI and web frontend
+- Companion apps on macOS, iOS, Android, Windows, and Linux
+
+Contribution rules:
+
+- One PR = one issue/topic. Do not bundle multiple unrelated fixes/features.
+- PRs over ~5,000 changed lines are reviewed only in exceptional circumstances.
+- Do not open large batches of tiny PRs at once; each PR has review cost.
+- For very small related fixes, grouping into one focused PR is encouraged.
+
+## Security
+
+Security in OpenClaw is a deliberate tradeoff: strong defaults without killing capability.
+The goal is to stay powerful for real work while making risky paths explicit and operator-controlled.
+
+Canonical security policy and reporting:
+
+- [`SECURITY.md`](SECURITY.md)
+
+We prioritize secure defaults, but also expose clear knobs for trusted high-power workflows.
+
+## Plugins & Memory
+
+OpenClaw has an extensive plugin API.
+Core stays lean; optional capability should usually ship as plugins.
+
+Preferred plugin path is npm package distribution plus local extension loading for development.
+If you build a plugin, host and maintain it in your own repository.
+The bar for adding optional plugins to core is intentionally high.
+Plugin docs: [`docs/tools/plugin.md`](docs/tools/plugin.md)
+Community plugin listing + PR bar: https://docs.openclaw.ai/plugins/community
+
+Memory is a special plugin slot where only one memory plugin can be active at a time.
+Today we ship multiple memory options; over time we plan to converge on one recommended default path.
+
+### Skills
+
+We still ship some bundled skills for baseline UX.
+New skills should be published to ClawHub first (`clawhub.ai`), not added to core by default.
+Core skill additions should be rare and require a strong product or security reason.
+
+### MCP Support
+
+OpenClaw supports MCP through `mcporter`: https://github.com/steipete/mcporter
+
+This keeps MCP integration flexible and decoupled from core runtime:
+
+- add or change MCP servers without restarting the gateway
+- keep core tool/context surface lean
+- reduce MCP churn impact on core stability and security
+
+For now, we prefer this bridge model over building first-class MCP runtime into core.
+If there is an MCP server or feature `mcporter` does not support yet, please open an issue there.
+
+### Setup
+
+OpenClaw is currently terminal-first by design.
+This keeps setup explicit: users see docs, auth, permissions, and security posture up front.
+
+Long term, we want easier onboarding flows as hardening matures.
+We do not want convenience wrappers that hide critical security decisions from users.
+
+### Why TypeScript?
+
+OpenClaw is primarily an orchestration system: prompts, tools, protocols, and integrations.
+TypeScript was chosen to keep OpenClaw hackable by default.
+It is widely known, fast to iterate in, and easy to read, modify, and extend.
+
+## What We Will Not Merge (For Now)
+
+- New core skills when they can live on ClawHub
+- Full-doc translation sets for all docs (deferred; we plan AI-generated translations later)
+- Commercial service integrations that do not clearly fit the model-provider category
+- Wrapper channels around already supported channels without a clear capability or security gap
+- First-class MCP runtime in core when `mcporter` already provides the integration path
+- Agent-hierarchy frameworks (manager-of-managers / nested planner trees) as a default architecture
+- Heavy orchestration layers that duplicate existing agent and tool infrastructure
+
+This list is a roadmap guardrail, not a law of physics.
+Strong user demand and strong technical rationale can change it.

+            <description><![CDATA[<h2>OpenClaw 2026.2.15</h2>
+<h3>Changes</h3>
+<ul>
+<li>Discord: unlock rich interactive agent prompts with Components v2 (buttons, selects, modals, and attachment-backed file blocks) so for native interaction through Discord. Thanks @thewilloftheshadow.</li>
+<li>Discord: components v2 UI + embeds passthrough + exec approval UX refinements (CV2 containers, button layout, Discord-forwarding skip). Thanks @thewilloftheshadow.</li>
+<li>Plugins: expose <code>llm_input</code> and <code>llm_output</code> hook payloads so extensions can observe prompt/input context and model output usage details. (#16724) Thanks @SecondThread.</li>
+<li>Subagents: nested sub-agents (sub-sub-agents) with configurable depth. Set <code>agents.defaults.subagents.maxSpawnDepth: 2</code> to allow sub-agents to spawn their own children. Includes <code>maxChildrenPerAgent</code> limit (default 5), depth-aware tool policy, and proper announce chain routing. (#14447) Thanks @tyler6204.</li>
+<li>Slack/Discord/Telegram: add per-channel ack reaction overrides (account/channel-level) to support platform-specific emoji formats. (#17092) Thanks @zerone0x.</li>
+<li>Cron/Gateway: add finished-run webhook delivery toggle (<code>notify</code>) and dedicated webhook auth token support (<code>cron.webhookToken</code>) for outbound cron webhook posts. (#14535) Thanks @advaitpaliwal.</li>
+<li>Channels: deduplicate probe/token resolution base types across core + extensions while preserving per-channel error typing. (#16986) Thanks @iyoda and @thewilloftheshadow.</li>
+</ul>
+<h3>Fixes</h3>
+<ul>
+<li>Security: replace deprecated SHA-1 sandbox configuration hashing with SHA-256 for deterministic sandbox cache identity and recreation checks. Thanks @kexinoh.</li>
+<li>Security/Logging: redact Telegram bot tokens from error messages and uncaught stack traces to prevent accidental secret leakage into logs. Thanks @aether-ai-agent.</li>
+<li>Sandbox/Security: block dangerous sandbox Docker config (bind mounts, host networking, unconfined seccomp/apparmor) to prevent container escape via config injection. Thanks @aether-ai-agent.</li>
+<li>Sandbox: preserve array order in config hashing so order-sensitive Docker/browser settings trigger container recreation correctly. Thanks @kexinoh.</li>
+<li>Gateway/Security: redact sensitive session/path details from <code>status</code> responses for non-admin clients; full details remain available to <code>operator.admin</code>. (#8590) Thanks @fr33d3m0n.</li>
+<li>Gateway/Control UI: preserve requested operator scopes for Control UI bypass modes (<code>allowInsecureAuth</code> / <code>dangerouslyDisableDeviceAuth</code>) when device identity is unavailable, preventing false <code>missing scope</code> failures on authenticated LAN/HTTP operator sessions. (#17682) Thanks @leafbird.</li>
+<li>LINE/Security: fail closed on webhook startup when channel token or channel secret is missing, and treat LINE accounts as configured only when both are present. (#17587) Thanks @davidahmann.</li>
+<li>Skills/Security: restrict <code>download</code> installer <code>targetDir</code> to the per-skill tools directory to prevent arbitrary file writes. Thanks @Adam55A-code.</li>
+<li>Skills/Linux: harden go installer fallback on apt-based systems by handling root/no-sudo environments safely, doing best-effort apt index refresh, and returning actionable errors instead of failing with spawn errors. (#17687) Thanks @mcrolly.</li>
+<li>Web Fetch/Security: cap downloaded response body size before HTML parsing to prevent memory exhaustion from oversized or deeply nested pages. Thanks @xuemian168.</li>
+<li>Config/Gateway: make sensitive-key whitelist suffix matching case-insensitive while preserving <code>passwordFile</code> path exemptions, preventing accidental redaction of non-secret config values like <code>maxTokens</code> and IRC password-file paths. (#16042) Thanks @akramcodez.</li>
+<li>Dev tooling: harden git <code>pre-commit</code> hook against option injection from malicious filenames (for example <code>--force</code>), preventing accidental staging of ignored files. Thanks @mrthankyou.</li>
+<li>Gateway/Agent: reject malformed <code>agent:</code>-prefixed session keys (for example, <code>agent:main</code>) in <code>agent</code> and <code>agent.identity.get</code> instead of silently resolving them to the default agent, preventing accidental cross-session routing. (#15707) Thanks @rodrigouroz.</li>
+<li>Gateway/Chat: harden <code>chat.send</code> inbound message handling by rejecting null bytes, stripping unsafe control characters, and normalizing Unicode to NFC before dispatch. (#8593) Thanks @fr33d3m0n.</li>
+<li>Gateway/Send: return an actionable error when <code>send</code> targets internal-only <code>webchat</code>, guiding callers to use <code>chat.send</code> or a deliverable channel. (#15703) Thanks @rodrigouroz.</li>
+<li>Control UI: prevent stored XSS via assistant name/avatar by removing inline script injection, serving bootstrap config as JSON, and enforcing <code>script-src 'self'</code>. Thanks @Adam55A-code.</li>
+<li>Agents/Security: sanitize workspace paths before embedding into LLM prompts (strip Unicode control/format chars) to prevent instruction injection via malicious directory names. Thanks @aether-ai-agent.</li>
+<li>Agents/Sandbox: clarify system prompt path guidance so sandbox <code>bash/exec</code> uses container paths (for example <code>/workspace</code>) while file tools keep host-bridge mapping, avoiding first-attempt path misses from host-only absolute paths in sandbox command execution. (#17693) Thanks @app/juniordevbot.</li>
+<li>Agents/Context: apply configured model <code>contextWindow</code> overrides after provider discovery so <code>lookupContextTokens()</code> honors operator config values (including discovery-failure paths). (#17404) Thanks @michaelbship and @vignesh07.</li>
+<li>Agents/Context: derive <code>lookupContextTokens()</code> from auth-available model metadata and keep the smallest discovered context window for duplicate model ids, preventing cross-provider cache collisions from overestimating session context limits. (#17586) Thanks @githabideri and @vignesh07.</li>
+<li>Agents/OpenAI: force <code>store=true</code> for direct OpenAI Responses/Codex runs to preserve multi-turn server-side conversation state, while leaving proxy/non-OpenAI endpoints unchanged. (#16803) Thanks @mark9232 and @vignesh07.</li>
+<li>Memory/FTS: make <code>buildFtsQuery</code> Unicode-aware so non-ASCII queries (including CJK) produce keyword tokens instead of falling back to vector-only search. (#17672) Thanks @KinGP5471.</li>
+<li>Auto-reply/Compaction: resolve <code>memory/YYYY-MM-DD.md</code> placeholders with timezone-aware runtime dates and append a <code>Current time:</code> line to memory-flush turns, preventing wrong-year memory filenames without making the system prompt time-variant. (#17603, #17633) Thanks @nicholaspapadam-wq and @vignesh07.</li>
+<li>Agents: return an explicit timeout error reply when an embedded run times out before producing any payloads, preventing silent dropped turns during slow cache-refresh transitions. (#16659) Thanks @liaosvcaf and @vignesh07.</li>
+<li>Group chats: always inject group chat context (name, participants, reply guidance) into the system prompt on every turn, not just the first. Prevents the model from losing awareness of which group it's in and incorrectly using the message tool to send to the same group. (#14447) Thanks @tyler6204.</li>
+<li>Browser/Agents: when browser control service is unavailable, return explicit non-retry guidance (instead of "try again") so models do not loop on repeated browser tool calls until timeout. (#17673) Thanks @austenstone.</li>
+<li>Subagents: use child-run-based deterministic announce idempotency keys across direct and queued delivery paths (with legacy queued-item fallback) to prevent duplicate announce retries without collapsing distinct same-millisecond announces. (#17150) Thanks @widingmarcus-cyber.</li>
+<li>Subagents/Models: preserve <code>agents.defaults.model.fallbacks</code> when subagent sessions carry a model override, so subagent runs fail over to configured fallback models instead of retrying only the overridden primary model.</li>
+<li>Telegram: omit <code>message_thread_id</code> for DM sends/draft previews and keep forum-topic handling (<code>id=1</code> general omitted, non-general kept), preventing DM failures with <code>400 Bad Request: message thread not found</code>. (#10942) Thanks @garnetlyx.</li>
+<li>Telegram: replace inbound <code><media:audio></code> placeholder with successful preflight voice transcript in message body context, preventing placeholder-only prompt bodies for mention-gated voice messages. (#16789) Thanks @Limitless2023.</li>
+<li>Telegram: retry inbound media <code>getFile</code> calls (3 attempts with backoff) and gracefully fall back to placeholder-only processing when retries fail, preventing dropped voice/media messages on transient Telegram network errors. (#16154) Thanks @yinghaosang.</li>
+<li>Telegram: finalize streaming preview replies in place instead of sending a second final message, preventing duplicate Telegram assistant outputs at stream completion. (#17218) Thanks @obviyus.</li>
+<li>Discord: preserve channel session continuity when runtime payloads omit <code>message.channelId</code> by falling back to event/raw <code>channel_id</code> values for routing/session keys, so same-channel messages keep history across turns/restarts. Also align diagnostics so active Discord runs no longer appear as <code>sessionKey=unknown</code>. (#17622) Thanks @shakkernerd.</li>
+<li>Discord: dedupe native skill commands by skill name in multi-agent setups to prevent duplicated slash commands with <code>_2</code> suffixes. (#17365) Thanks @seewhyme.</li>
+<li>Discord: ensure role allowlist matching uses raw role IDs for message routing authorization. Thanks @xinhuagu.</li>
+<li>Web UI/Agents: hide <code>BOOTSTRAP.md</code> in the Agents Files list after onboarding is completed, avoiding confusing missing-file warnings for completed workspaces. (#17491) Thanks @gumadeiras.</li>
+<li>Auto-reply/WhatsApp/TUI/Web: when a final assistant message is <code>NO_REPLY</code> and a messaging tool send succeeded, mirror the delivered messaging-tool text into session-visible assistant output so TUI/Web no longer show <code>NO_REPLY</code> placeholders. (#7010) Thanks @Morrowind-Xie.</li>
+<li>Cron: infer <code>payload.kind="agentTurn"</code> for model-only <code>cron.update</code> payload patches, so partial agent-turn updates do not fail validation when <code>kind</code> is omitted. (#15664) Thanks @rodrigouroz.</li>
+<li>TUI: make searchable-select filtering and highlight rendering ANSI-aware so queries ignore hidden escape codes and no longer corrupt ANSI styling sequences during match highlighting. (#4519) Thanks @bee4come.</li>
+<li>TUI/Windows: coalesce rapid single-line submit bursts in Git Bash into one multiline message as a fallback when bracketed paste is unavailable, preventing pasted multiline text from being split into multiple sends. (#4986) Thanks @adamkane.</li>
+<li>TUI: suppress false <code>(no output)</code> placeholders for non-local empty final events during concurrent runs, preventing external-channel replies from showing empty assistant bubbles while a local run is still streaming. (#5782) Thanks @LagWizard and @vignesh07.</li>
+<li>TUI: preserve copy-sensitive long tokens (URLs/paths/file-like identifiers) during wrapping and overflow sanitization so wrapped output no longer inserts spaces that corrupt copy/paste values. (#17515, #17466, #17505) Thanks @abe238, @trevorpan, and @JasonCry.</li>
+<li>CLI/Build: make legacy daemon CLI compatibility shim generation tolerant of minimal tsdown daemon export sets, while preserving restart/register compatibility aliases and surfacing explicit errors for unavailable legacy daemon commands. Thanks @vignesh07.</li>

-<h3>Changes</h3>
-<ul>
-<li>CLI: add <code>openclaw logs --local-time</code> to display log timestamps in local timezone. (#13818) Thanks @xialonglee.</li>
-<li>Telegram: render blockquotes as native <code><blockquote></code> tags instead of stripping them. (#14608)</li>
-<li>Config: avoid redacting <code>maxTokens</code>-like fields during config snapshot redaction, preventing round-trip validation failures in <code>/config</code>. (#14006) Thanks @constansino.</li>
-</ul>
-<h3>Breaking</h3>
-<ul>
-<li>Hooks: <code>POST /hooks/agent</code> now rejects payload <code>sessionKey</code> overrides by default. To keep fixed hook context, set <code>hooks.defaultSessionKey</code> (recommended with <code>hooks.allowedSessionKeyPrefixes: ["hook:"]</code>). If you need legacy behavior, explicitly set <code>hooks.allowRequestSessionKey: true</code>. Thanks @alpernae for reporting.</li>
-</ul>
-<h3>Fixes</h3>
-<ul>
-<li>Gateway/OpenResponses: harden URL-based <code>input_file</code>/<code>input_image</code> handling with explicit SSRF deny policy, hostname allowlists (<code>files.urlAllowlist</code> / <code>images.urlAllowlist</code>), per-request URL input caps (<code>maxUrlParts</code>), blocked-fetch audit logging, and regression coverage/docs updates.</li>
-<li>Security: fix unauthenticated Nostr profile API remote config tampering. (#13719) Thanks @coygeek.</li>
-<li>Security: remove bundled soul-evil hook. (#14757) Thanks @Imccccc.</li>
-<li>Security/Audit: add hook session-routing hardening checks (<code>hooks.defaultSessionKey</code>, <code>hooks.allowRequestSessionKey</code>, and prefix allowlists), and warn when HTTP API endpoints allow explicit session-key routing.</li>
-<li>Security/Sandbox: confine mirrored skill sync destinations to the sandbox <code>skills/</code> root and stop using frontmatter-controlled skill names as filesystem destination paths. Thanks @1seal.</li>
-<li>Security/Web tools: treat browser/web content as untrusted by default (wrapped outputs for browser snapshot/tabs/console and structured external-content metadata for web tools), and strip <code>toolResult.details</code> from model-facing transcript/compaction inputs to reduce prompt-injection replay risk.</li>
-<li>Security/Hooks: harden webhook and device token verification with shared constant-time secret comparison, and add per-client auth-failure throttling for hook endpoints (<code>429</code> + <code>Retry-After</code>). Thanks @akhmittra.</li>
-<li>Security/Browser: require auth for loopback browser control HTTP routes, auto-generate <code>gateway.auth.token</code> when browser control starts without auth, and add a security-audit check for unauthenticated browser control. Thanks @tcusolle.</li>
-<li>Sessions/Gateway: harden transcript path resolution and reject unsafe session IDs/file paths so session operations stay within agent sessions directories. Thanks @akhmittra.</li>
-<li>Gateway: raise WS payload/buffer limits so 5,000,000-byte image attachments work reliably. (#14486) Thanks @0xRaini.</li>
-<li>Logging/CLI: use local timezone timestamps for console prefixing, and include <code>±HH:MM</code> offsets when using <code>openclaw logs --local-time</code> to avoid ambiguity. (#14771) Thanks @0xRaini.</li>
-<li>Gateway: drain active turns before restart to prevent message loss. (#13931) Thanks @0xRaini.</li>
-<li>Gateway: auto-generate auth token during install to prevent launchd restart loops. (#13813) Thanks @cathrynlavery.</li>
-<li>Gateway: prevent <code>undefined</code>/missing token in auth config. (#13809) Thanks @asklee-klawd.</li>
-<li>Gateway: handle async <code>EPIPE</code> on stdout/stderr during shutdown. (#13414) Thanks @keshav55.</li>
-<li>Gateway/Control UI: resolve missing dashboard assets when <code>openclaw</code> is installed globally via symlink-based Node managers (nvm/fnm/n/Homebrew). (#14919) Thanks @aynorica.</li>
-<li>Cron: use requested <code>agentId</code> for isolated job auth resolution. (#13983) Thanks @0xRaini.</li>
-<li>Cron: prevent cron jobs from skipping execution when <code>nextRunAtMs</code> advances. (#14068) Thanks @WalterSumbon.</li>
-<li>Cron: pass <code>agentId</code> to <code>runHeartbeatOnce</code> for main-session jobs. (#14140) Thanks @ishikawa-pro.</li>
-<li>Cron: re-arm timers when <code>onTimer</code> fires while a job is still executing. (#14233) Thanks @tomron87.</li>
-<li>Cron: prevent duplicate fires when multiple jobs trigger simultaneously. (#14256) Thanks @xinhuagu.</li>
-<li>Cron: isolate scheduler errors so one bad job does not break all jobs. (#14385) Thanks @MarvinDontPanic.</li>
-<li>Cron: prevent one-shot <code>at</code> jobs from re-firing on restart after skipped/errored runs. (#13878) Thanks @lailoo.</li>
-<li>Heartbeat: prevent scheduler stalls on unexpected run errors and avoid immediate rerun loops after <code>requests-in-flight</code> skips. (#14901) Thanks @joeykrug.</li>
-<li>Cron: honor stored session model overrides for isolated-agent runs while preserving <code>hooks.gmail.model</code> precedence for Gmail hook sessions. (#14983) Thanks @shtse8.</li>
-<li>Logging/Browser: fall back to <code>os.tmpdir()/openclaw</code> for default log, browser trace, and browser download temp paths when <code>/tmp/openclaw</code> is unavailable.</li>
-<li>WhatsApp: convert Markdown bold/strikethrough to WhatsApp formatting. (#14285) Thanks @Raikan10.</li>
-<li>WhatsApp: allow media-only sends and normalize leading blank payloads. (#14408) Thanks @karimnaguib.</li>
-<li>WhatsApp: default MIME type for voice messages when Baileys omits it. (#14444) Thanks @mcaxtr.</li>
-<li>Telegram: handle no-text message in model picker editMessageText. (#14397) Thanks @0xRaini.</li>
-<li>Telegram: surface REACTION_INVALID as non-fatal warning. (#14340) Thanks @0xRaini.</li>
-<li>BlueBubbles: fix webhook auth bypass via loopback proxy trust. (#13787) Thanks @coygeek.</li>
-<li>Slack: change default replyToMode from "off" to "all". (#14364) Thanks @nm-de.</li>
-<li>Slack: detect control commands when channel messages start with bot mention prefixes (for example, <code>@Bot /new</code>). (#14142) Thanks @beefiker.</li>
-<li>Signal: enforce E.164 validation for the Signal bot account prompt so mistyped numbers are caught early. (#15063) Thanks @Duartemartins.</li>
-<li>Discord: process DM reactions instead of silently dropping them. (#10418) Thanks @mcaxtr.</li>
-<li>Discord: respect replyToMode in threads. (#11062) Thanks @cordx56.</li>
-<li>Heartbeat: filter noise-only system events so scheduled reminder notifications do not fire when cron runs carry only heartbeat markers. (#13317) Thanks @pvtclawn.</li>
-<li>Signal: render mention placeholders as <code>@uuid</code>/<code>@phone</code> so mention gating and Clawdbot targeting work. (#2013) Thanks @alexgleason.</li>
-<li>Discord: omit empty content fields for media-only messages while preserving caption whitespace. (#9507) Thanks @leszekszpunar.</li>
-<li>Onboarding/Providers: add Z.AI endpoint-specific auth choices (<code>zai-coding-global</code>, <code>zai-coding-cn</code>, <code>zai-global</code>, <code>zai-cn</code>) and expand default Z.AI model wiring. (#13456) Thanks @tomsun28.</li>
-<li>Onboarding/Providers: update MiniMax API default/recommended models from M2.1 to M2.5, add M2.5/M2.5-Lightning model entries, and include <code>minimax-m2.5</code> in modern model filtering. (#14865) Thanks @adao-max.</li>
-<li>Ollama: use configured <code>models.providers.ollama.baseUrl</code> for model discovery and normalize <code>/v1</code> endpoints to the native Ollama API root. (#14131) Thanks @shtse8.</li>
-<li>Voice Call: pass Twilio stream auth token via <code><Parameter></code> instead of query string. (#14029) Thanks @mcwigglesmcgee.</li>
-<li>Feishu: pass <code>Buffer</code> directly to the Feishu SDK upload APIs instead of <code>Readable.from(...)</code> to avoid form-data upload failures. (#10345) Thanks @youngerstyle.</li>
-<li>Feishu: trigger mention-gated group handling only when the bot itself is mentioned (not just any mention). (#11088) Thanks @openperf.</li>
-<li>Feishu: probe status uses the resolved account context for multi-account credential checks. (#11233) Thanks @onevcat.</li>
-<li>Feishu DocX: preserve top-level converted block order using <code>firstLevelBlockIds</code> when writing/appending documents. (#13994) Thanks @Cynosure159.</li>
-<li>Feishu plugin packaging: remove <code>workspace:*</code> <code>openclaw</code> dependency from <code>extensions/feishu</code> and sync lockfile for install compatibility. (#14423) Thanks @jackcooper2015.</li>
-<li>CLI/Wizard: exit with code 1 when <code>configure</code>, <code>agents add</code>, or interactive <code>onboard</code> wizards are canceled, so <code>set -e</code> automation stops correctly. (#14156) Thanks @0xRaini.</li>
-<li>Media: strip <code>MEDIA:</code> lines with local paths instead of leaking as visible text. (#14399) Thanks @0xRaini.</li>
-<li>Config/Cron: exclude <code>maxTokens</code> from config redaction and honor <code>deleteAfterRun</code> on skipped cron jobs. (#13342) Thanks @niceysam.</li>
-<li>Config: ignore <code>meta</code> field changes in config file watcher. (#13460) Thanks @brandonwise.</li>
-<li>Cron: use requested <code>agentId</code> for isolated job auth resolution. (#13983) Thanks @0xRaini.</li>

-<li>Daemon: suppress <code>EPIPE</code> error when restarting LaunchAgent. (#14343) Thanks @0xRaini.</li>
-<li>Antigravity: add opus 4.6 forward-compat model and bypass thinking signature sanitization. (#14218) Thanks @jg-noncelogic.</li>
-<li>Agents: prevent file descriptor leaks in child process cleanup. (#13565) Thanks @KyleChen26.</li>
-<li>Agents: prevent double compaction caused by cache TTL bypassing guard. (#13514) Thanks @taw0002.</li>
-<li>Agents: use last API call's cache tokens for context display instead of accumulated sum. (#13805) Thanks @akari-musubi.</li>
-<li>Agents: keep followup-runner session <code>totalTokens</code> aligned with post-compaction context by using last-call usage and shared token-accounting logic. (#14979) Thanks @shtse8.</li>
-<li>Hooks/Plugins: wire 9 previously unwired plugin lifecycle hooks into core runtime paths (session, compaction, gateway, and outbound message hooks). (#14882) Thanks @shtse8.</li>

-# OpenClaw (iOS)
+# OpenClaw iOS (Super Alpha)
 
-This is an **alpha** iOS app that connects to an OpenClaw Gateway as a `role: node`.
+NO TEST FLIGHT AVAILABLE AT THIS POINT
 
-Expect rough edges:
+This iPhone app is super-alpha and internal-use only. It connects to an OpenClaw Gateway as a `role: node`.
 
-- UI and onboarding are changing quickly.
-- Background behavior is not stable yet (foreground app is the supported mode right now).
-- Permissions are opt-in and the app should be treated as sensitive while we harden it.
+## Distribution Status
 
-## What It Does
+NO TEST FLIGHT AVAILABLE AT THIS POINT
 
-- Connects to a Gateway over `ws://` / `wss://`
-- Pairs a new device (approved from your bot)
-- Exposes phone services as node commands (camera, location, photos, calendar, reminders, etc; gated by iOS permissions)
-- Provides Talk + Chat surfaces (alpha)
+- Current distribution: local/manual deploy from source via Xcode.
+- App Store flow is not part of the current internal development path.
 
-## Pairing (Recommended Flow)
+## Super-Alpha Disclaimer
 
-If your Gateway has the `device-pair` plugin installed:
+- Breaking changes are expected.
+- UI and onboarding flows can change without migration guarantees.
+- Foreground use is the only reliable mode right now.
+- Treat this build as sensitive while permissions and background behavior are still being hardened.
 
-1. In Telegram, message your bot: `/pair`
-2. Copy the **setup code** message
-3. On iOS: OpenClaw → Settings → Gateway → paste setup code → Connect
-4. Back in Telegram: `/pair approve`
+## Exact Xcode Manual Deploy Flow
 
-## Build And Run
-
-Prereqs:
-
-- Xcode (current stable)
-- `pnpm`
-- `xcodegen`
-
-From the repo root:
+1. Prereqs:
+   - Xcode 16+
+   - `pnpm`
+   - `xcodegen`
+   - Apple Development signing set up in Xcode
+2. From repo root:
 
 ```bash
 pnpm install
+./scripts/ios-configure-signing.sh
+cd apps/ios
+xcodegen generate
+open OpenClaw.xcodeproj
+```
+
+3. In Xcode:
+   - Scheme: `OpenClaw`
+   - Destination: connected iPhone (recommended for real behavior)
+   - Build configuration: `Debug`
+   - Run (`Product` -> `Run`)
+4. If signing fails on a personal team:
+   - Use unique local bundle IDs via `apps/ios/LocalSigning.xcconfig`.
+   - Start from `apps/ios/LocalSigning.xcconfig.example`.
+
+Shortcut command (same flow + open project):
+
+```bash
 pnpm ios:open
 ```
 
-Then in Xcode:
+## APNs Expectations For Local/Manual Builds
 
-1. Select the `OpenClaw` scheme
-2. Select a simulator or a connected device
-3. Run
+- The app calls `registerForRemoteNotifications()` at launch.
+- `apps/ios/Sources/OpenClaw.entitlements` sets `aps-environment` to `development`.
+- APNs token registration to gateway happens only after gateway connection (`push.apns.register`).
+- Your selected team/profile must support Push Notifications for the app bundle ID you are signing.
+- If push capability or provisioning is wrong, APNs registration fails at runtime (check Xcode logs for `APNs registration failed`).
+- Debug builds register as APNs sandbox; Release builds use production.
 
-If you're using a personal Apple Development team, you may need to change the bundle identifier in Xcode to a unique value so signing succeeds.
+## What Works Now (Concrete)
 
-## Build From CLI
+- Pairing via setup code flow (`/pair` then `/pair approve` in Telegram).
+- Gateway connection via discovery or manual host/port with TLS fingerprint trust prompt.
+- Chat + Talk surfaces through the operator gateway session.
+- iPhone node commands in foreground: camera snap/clip, canvas present/navigate/eval/snapshot, screen record, location, contacts, calendar, reminders, photos, motion, local notifications.
+- Share extension deep-link forwarding into the connected gateway session.
 
-```bash
-pnpm ios:build
-```
+## Known Issues / Limitations / Problems
 
-## Tests
+- Foreground-first: iOS can suspend sockets in background; reconnect recovery is still being tuned.
+- Background command limits are strict: `canvas.*`, `camera.*`, `screen.*`, and `talk.*` are blocked when backgrounded.
+- Background location requires `Always` location permission.
+- Pairing/auth errors intentionally pause reconnect loops until a human fixes auth/pairing state.
+- Voice Wake and Talk contend for the same microphone; Talk suppresses wake capture while active.
+- APNs reliability depends on local signing/provisioning/topic alignment.
+- Expect rough UX edges and occasional reconnect churn during active development.
 
-```bash
-cd apps/ios
-xcodegen generate
-xcodebuild test -project OpenClaw.xcodeproj -scheme OpenClaw -destination "platform=iOS Simulator,name=iPhone 17"
-```
+## Current In-Progress Workstream
 
-## Shared Code
+Automatic wake/reconnect hardening:
 
-- `apps/shared/OpenClawKit` contains the shared transport/types used by the iOS app.
+- improve wake/resume behavior across scene transitions
+- reduce dead-socket states after background -> foreground
+- tighten node/operator session reconnect coordination
+- reduce manual recovery steps after transient network failures
+
+## Debugging Checklist
+
+1. Confirm build/signing baseline:
+   - regenerate project (`xcodegen generate`)
+   - verify selected team + bundle IDs
+2. In app `Settings -> Gateway`:
+   - confirm status text, server, and remote address
+   - verify whether status shows pairing/auth gating
+3. If pairing is required:
+   - run `/pair approve` from Telegram, then reconnect
+4. If discovery is flaky:
+   - enable `Discovery Debug Logs`
+   - inspect `Settings -> Gateway -> Discovery Logs`
+5. If network path is unclear:
+   - switch to manual host/port + TLS in Gateway Advanced settings
+6. In Xcode console, filter for subsystem/category signals:
+   - `ai.openclaw.ios`
+   - `GatewayDiag`
+   - `APNs registration failed`
+7. Validate background expectations:
+   - repro in foreground first
+   - then test background transitions and confirm reconnect on return

The helper prefers the canonical OpenClaw team (`Y5PE65HELJ`) when present locally; otherwise it prefers the first non-personal team from your Xcode account (then personal team if needed).
