   - if encoded option values exceed Slack limits, the flow falls back to buttons
 - For long option payloads, Slash command argument menus use a confirm dialog before dispatching a selected value.
 
+## Interactive replies
+
+Slack can render agent-authored interactive reply controls, but this feature is disabled by default.
+
+Enable it globally:
+
+```json5
+{
+  channels: {
+    slack: {
+      capabilities: {
+        interactiveReplies: true,
+      },
+    },
+  },
+}
+```
+
+Or enable it for one Slack account only:
+
+```json5
+{
+  channels: {
+    slack: {
+      accounts: {
+        ops: {
+          capabilities: {
+            interactiveReplies: true,
+          },
+        },
+      },
+    },
+  },
+}
+```
+
+When enabled, agents can emit Slack-only reply directives:
+
+- `[[slack_buttons: Approve:approve, Reject:reject]]`
+- `[[slack_select: Choose a target | Canary:canary, Production:production]]`
+
+These directives compile into Slack Block Kit and route clicks or selections back through the existing Slack interaction event path.
+
+Notes:
+
+- This is Slack-specific UI. Other channels do not translate Slack Block Kit directives into their own button systems.
+- The interactive callback values are OpenClaw-generated opaque tokens, not raw agent-authored values.
+- If generated interactive blocks would exceed Slack Block Kit limits, OpenClaw falls back to the original text reply instead of sending an invalid blocks payload.
+
 Default slash command settings:
 
 - `enabled: false`

Subject: [PATCH 06/12] fix(cron): prevent isolated cron nested lane deadlocks
 (#45459)

* fix(cron): resolve isolated session deadlock (#44805)

Map cron lane to nested in resolveGlobalLane to prevent deadlock when
isolated cron jobs trigger inner operations (e.g. compaction). Outer
execution holds the cron lane slot; inner work now uses nested lane.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>

* docs(changelog): add cron isolated deadlock note

@@ -15,6 +15,7 @@ Docs: https://docs.openclaw.ai
 
 - Browser/existing-session: accept text-only `list_pages` and `new_page` responses from Chrome DevTools MCP so live-session tab discovery and new-tab open flows keep working when the server omits structured page metadata.
 - Ollama/reasoning visibility: stop promoting native `thinking` and `reasoning` fields into final assistant text so local reasoning models no longer leak internal thoughts in normal replies. (#45330) Thanks @xi7ang.
+- Cron/isolated sessions: route nested cron-triggered embedded runner work onto the nested lane so isolated cron jobs no longer deadlock when compaction or other queued inner work runs. Thanks @vincentkoc.
 - Windows/gateway install: bound `schtasks` calls and fall back to the Startup-folder login item when task creation hangs, so native `openclaw gateway install` fails fast instead of wedging forever on broken Scheduled Task setups.
 - Windows/gateway auth: stop attaching device identity on local loopback shared-token and password gateway calls, so native Windows agent replies no longer log stale `device signature expired` fallback noise before succeeding.
 - Telegram/media downloads: thread the same direct or proxy transport policy into SSRF-guarded file fetches so inbound attachments keep working when Telegram falls back between env-proxy and direct networking. (#44639) Thanks @obviyus.
