(openclaw#35146) thanks @Sid-Qin. +- Agents/transcript policy: set `preserveSignatures` to Anthropic-only handling in `resolveTranscriptPolicy` so Anthropic thinking signatures are preserved while non-Anthropic providers remain unchanged. (#32813) thanks @Sid-Qin. +- Agents/schema cleaning: detect Venice + Grok model IDs as xAI-proxied targets so unsupported JSON Schema keywords are stripped before requests, preventing Venice/Grok `Invalid arguments` failures. (openclaw#35355) thanks @Sid-Qin. +- Skills/native command deduplication: centralize skill command dedupe by canonical `skillName` in `listSkillCommandsForAgents` so duplicate suffixed variants (for example `_2`) are no longer surfaced across interfaces outside Discord. (#27521) thanks @shivama205. +- Agents/xAI tool-call argument decoding: decode HTML-entity encoded xAI/Grok tool-call argument values (`&`, `"`, `<`, `>`, numeric entities) before tool execution so commands with shell operators and quotes no longer fail with parse errors. (#35276) Thanks @Sid-Qin. +- Agents/thinking-tag promotion hardening: guard `promoteThinkingTagsToBlocks` against malformed assistant content entries (`null`/`undefined`) before `block.type` reads so malformed provider payloads no longer crash session processing while preserving pass-through behavior. (#35143) thanks @Sid-Qin. +- Gateway/Control UI version reporting: align runtime and browser client version metadata to avoid `dev` placeholders, wait for bootstrap version before first UI websocket connect, and only forward bootstrap `serverVersion` to same-origin gateway targets to prevent cross-target version leakage. (from #35230, #30928, #33928) Thanks @Sid-Qin, @joelnishanth, and @MoerAI. +- Control UI/markdown parser crash fallback: catch `marked.parse()` failures and fall back to escaped plain-text `
` rendering so malformed recursive markdown no longer crashes Control UI session rendering on load. (#36445) Thanks @BinHPdev.
+- Control UI/markdown fallback regression coverage: add explicit regression assertions for parser-error fallback behavior so malformed markdown no longer risks reintroducing hard-crash rendering paths in future markdown/parser upgrades. (#36445) Thanks @BinHPdev.
+- Web UI/config form: treat `additionalProperties: true` object schemas as editable map entries instead of unsupported fields so Accounts-style maps stay editable in form mode. (#35380, supersedes #32072) Thanks @stakeswky and @liuxiaopai-ai.
+- Feishu/streaming card delivery synthesis: unify snapshot and delta streaming merge semantics, apply overlap-aware final merge, suppress duplicate final text delivery (including text+media final packets), prefer topic-thread `message.reply` routing when a reply target exists, and tune card print cadence to avoid duplicate incremental rendering. (from #33245, #32896, #33840) Thanks @rexl2018, @kcinzgg, and @aerelune.
+- Feishu/group mention detection: carry startup-probed bot display names through monitor dispatch so `requireMention` checks compare against current bot identity instead of stale config names, fixing missed `@bot` handling in groups while preserving multi-bot false-positive guards. (#36317, #34271) Thanks @liuxiaopai-ai.
+- Security/dependency audit: patch transitive Hono vulnerabilities by pinning `hono` to `4.12.5` and `@hono/node-server` to `1.19.10` in production resolution paths. Thanks @shakkernerd.
+- Security/dependency audit: bump `tar` to `7.5.10` (from `7.5.9`) to address the high-severity hardlink path traversal advisory (`GHSA-qffp-2rhf-9h96`). Thanks @shakkernerd.
+- Cron/announce delivery robustness: bypass pending-descendant announce guards for cron completion sends, ensure named-agent announce routes have outbound session entries, and fall back to direct delivery only when an announce send was actually attempted and failed. (from #35185, #32443, #34987) Thanks @Sid-Qin, @scoootscooob, and @bmendonca3.
+- Cron/announce best-effort fallback: run direct outbound fallback after attempted announce failures even when delivery is configured as best-effort, so Telegram cron sends are not left as attempted-but-undelivered after `cron announce delivery failed` warnings.
+- Auto-reply/system events: restore runtime system events to the message timeline (`System:` lines), preserve think-hint parsing with prepended events, and carry events into deferred followup/collect/steer-backlog prompts to keep cache behavior stable without dropping queued metadata. (#34794) Thanks @anisoptera.
+- Security/audit account handling: avoid prototype-chain account IDs in audit validation by using own-property checks for `accounts`. (#34982) Thanks @HOYALIM.
+- Cron/restart catch-up semantics: replay interrupted recurring jobs and missed immediate cron slots on startup without replaying interrupted one-shot jobs, with guarded missed-slot probing to avoid malformed-schedule startup aborts and duplicate-trigger drift after restart. (from #34466, #34896, #34625, #33206) Thanks @dunamismax, @dsantoreis, @Octane0411, and @Sid-Qin.
+- Agents/session usage tracking: preserve accumulated usage metadata on embedded Pi runner error exits so failed turns still update session `totalTokens` from real usage instead of stale prior values. (#34275) thanks @RealKai42.
+- Slack/reaction thread context routing: carry Slack native DM channel IDs through inbound context and threading tool resolution so reaction targets resolve consistently for DM `To=user:*` sessions (including `toolContext.currentChannelId` fallback behavior). (from #34831; overlaps #34440, #34502, #34483, #32754) Thanks @dunamismax.
+- Subagents/announce completion scoping: scope nested direct-child completion aggregation to the current requester run window, harden frozen completion capture for deterministic descendant synthesis, and route completion announce delivery through parent-agent announce turns with provenance-aware internal events. (#35080) Thanks @tyler6204.
+- Nodes/system.run approval hardening: use explicit argv-mutation signaling when regenerating prepared `rawCommand`, and cover the `system.run.prepare -> system.run` handoff so direct PATH-based `nodes.run` commands no longer fail with `rawCommand does not match command`. (#33137) thanks @Sid-Qin.
+- Models/custom provider headers: propagate `models.providers..headers` across inline, fallback, and registry-found model resolution so header-authenticated proxies consistently receive configured request headers. (#27490) thanks @Sid-Qin.
+- Ollama/custom provider headers: forward resolved model headers into native Ollama stream requests so header-authenticated Ollama proxies receive configured request headers. (#24337) thanks @echoVic.
+- Daemon/systemd install robustness: treat `systemctl --user is-enabled` exit-code-4 `not-found` responses as not-enabled by combining stderr/stdout detail parsing, so Ubuntu fresh installs no longer fail with `systemctl is-enabled unavailable`. (#33634) Thanks @Yuandiaodiaodiao.
+- Slack/system-event session routing: resolve reaction/member/pin/interaction system-event session keys through channel/account bindings (with sender-aware DM routing) so inbound Slack events target the correct agent session in multi-account setups instead of defaulting to `agent:main`. (#34045) Thanks @paulomcg, @daht-mad and @vincentkoc.
+- Slack/native streaming markdown conversion: stop pre-normalizing text passed to Slack native `markdown_text` in streaming start/append/stop paths to prevent Markdown style corruption from double conversion. (#34931)
+- Gateway/HTTP tools invoke media compatibility: preserve raw media payload access for direct `/tools/invoke` clients by allowing media `nodes` invoke commands only in HTTP tool context, while keeping agent-context media invoke blocking to prevent base64 prompt bloat. (#34365) Thanks @obviyus.
+- Agents/Nodes media outputs: add dedicated `photos_latest` action handling, block media-returning `nodes invoke` commands, keep metadata-only `camera.list` invoke allowed, and normalize empty `photos_latest` results to a consistent response shape to prevent base64 context bloat. (#34332) Thanks @obviyus.
+- TUI/session-key canonicalization: normalize `openclaw tui --session` values to lowercase so uppercase session names no longer drop real-time streaming updates due to gateway/TUI key mismatches. (#33866, #34013) thanks @lynnzc.
+- Outbound/send config threading: pass resolved SecretRef config through outbound adapters and helper send paths so send flows do not reload unresolved runtime config. (#33987) Thanks @joshavant.
+- Sessions/subagent attachments: remove `attachments[].content.maxLength` from `sessions_spawn` schema to avoid llama.cpp GBNF repetition overflow, and preflight UTF-8 byte size before buffer allocation while keeping runtime file-size enforcement unchanged. (#33648) Thanks @anisoptera.
+- Runtime/tool-state stability: recover from dangling Anthropic `tool_use` after compaction, serialize long-running Discord handler runs without blocking new inbound events, and prevent stale busy snapshots from suppressing stuck-channel recovery. (from #33630, #33583) Thanks @kevinWangSheng and @theotarr.
+- ACP/Discord startup hardening: clean up stuck ACP worker children on gateway restart, unbind stale ACP thread bindings during Discord startup reconciliation, and add per-thread listener watchdog timeouts so wedged turns cannot block later messages. (#33699) Thanks @dutifulbob.
+- Extensions/media local-root propagation: consistently forward `mediaLocalRoots` through extension `sendMedia` adapters (Google Chat, Slack, iMessage, Signal, WhatsApp), preserving non-local media behavior while restoring local attachment resolution from configured roots. Synthesis of #33581, #33545, #33540, #33536, #33528. Thanks @bmendonca3.
+- Feishu/video media send contract: keep mp4-like outbound payloads on `msg_type: "media"` (including reply and reply-in-thread paths) so videos render as media instead of degrading to file-link behavior, while preserving existing non-video file subtype handling. (from #33720, #33808, #33678) Thanks @polooooo, @dingjianrui, and @kevinWangSheng.
+- Gateway/security default response headers: add `Permissions-Policy: camera=(), microphone=(), geolocation=()` to baseline gateway HTTP security headers for all responses. (#30186) thanks @habakan.
+- Plugins/startup loading: lazily initialize plugin runtime, split startup-critical plugin SDK imports into `openclaw/plugin-sdk/core` and `openclaw/plugin-sdk/telegram`, and preserve `api.runtime` reflection semantics for plugin compatibility. (#28620) thanks @hmemcpy.
+- Plugins/startup performance: reduce bursty plugin discovery/manifest overhead with short in-process caches, skip importing bundled memory plugins that are disabled by slot selection, and speed legacy root `openclaw/plugin-sdk` compatibility via runtime root-alias routing while preserving backward compatibility. Thanks @gumadeiras.
+- Build/lazy runtime boundaries: replace ineffective dynamic import sites with dedicated lazy runtime boundaries across Slack slash handling, Telegram audit, CLI send deps, memory fallback, and outbound delivery paths while preserving behavior. (#33690) thanks @gumadeiras.
+- Config/heartbeat legacy-path handling: auto-migrate top-level `heartbeat` into `agents.defaults.heartbeat` (with merge semantics that preserve explicit defaults), and keep startup failures on non-migratable legacy entries in the detailed invalid-config path instead of generic migration-failed errors. (#32706) thanks @xiwan.
+- Plugins/SDK subpath parity: expand plugin SDK subpaths across bundled channels/extensions (Discord, Slack, Signal, iMessage, WhatsApp, LINE, and bundled companion plugins), with build/export/type/runtime wiring so scoped imports resolve consistently in source and dist while preserving compatibility. (#33737) thanks @gumadeiras.
+- Plugins/bundled scoped-import migration: migrate bundled plugins from monolithic `openclaw/plugin-sdk` imports to scoped subpaths (or `openclaw/plugin-sdk/core`) across registration and startup-sensitive runtime files, add CI/release guardrails to prevent regressions, and keep root `openclaw/plugin-sdk` support for external/community plugins. Thanks @gumadeiras.
+- Routing/session duplicate suppression synthesis: align shared session delivery-context inheritance, channel-paired route-field merges, and reply-surface target matching so dmScope=main turns avoid cross-surface duplicate replies while thread-aware forwarding keeps intended routing semantics. (from #33629, #26889, #17337, #33250) Thanks @Yuandiaodiaodiao, @kevinwildenradt, @Glucksberg, and @bmendonca3.
+- Routing/legacy session route inheritance: preserve external route metadata inheritance for legacy channel session keys (`agent:::` and `...:thread:`) so `chat.send` does not incorrectly fall back to webchat when valid delivery context exists. Follow-up to #33786.
+- Routing/legacy route guard tightening: require legacy session-key channel hints to match the saved delivery channel before inheriting external routing metadata, preventing custom namespaced keys like `agent::work:` from inheriting stale non-webchat routes.
+- Gateway/internal client routing continuity: prevent webchat/TUI/UI turns from inheriting stale external reply routes by requiring explicit `deliver: true` for external delivery, keeping main-session external inheritance scoped to non-Webchat/UI clients, and honoring configured `session.mainKey` when identifying main-session continuity. (from #35321, #34635, #35356) Thanks @alexyyyander and @Octane0411.
+- Security/auth labels: remove token and API-key snippets from user-facing auth status labels so `/status` and `/models` do not expose credential fragments. (#33262) thanks @cu1ch3n.
+- Auth/credential semantics: align profile eligibility + probe diagnostics with SecretRef/expiry rules and harden browser download atomic writes. (#33733) thanks @joshavant.
+- Security/audit denyCommands guidance: suggest likely exact node command IDs for unknown `gateway.nodes.denyCommands` entries so ineffective denylist entries are easier to correct. (#29713) thanks @liquidhorizon88-bot.
+- Docs/security hardening guidance: document Docker `DOCKER-USER` + UFW policy and add cross-linking from Docker install docs for VPS/public-host setups. (#27613) thanks @dorukardahan.
+- Docs/security threat-model links: replace relative `.md` links with Mintlify-compatible root-relative routes in security docs to prevent broken internal navigation. (#27698) thanks @clawdoo.
+- iOS/Voice timing safety: guard system speech start/finish callbacks to the active utterance to avoid misattributed start events during rapid stop/restart cycles. (#33304) thanks @mbelinky; original implementation direction by @ngutman.
+- iOS/Talk incremental speech pacing: allow long punctuation-free assistant chunks to start speaking at safe whitespace boundaries so voice responses begin sooner instead of waiting for terminal punctuation. (#33305) thanks @mbelinky; original implementation by @ngutman.
+- iOS/Watch reply reliability: make watch session activation waiters robust under concurrent requests so status/send calls no longer hang intermittently, and align delegate callbacks with Swift 6 actor safety. (#33306) thanks @mbelinky; original implementation by @Rocuts.
 - Docs/tool-loop detection config keys: align `docs/tools/loop-detection.md` examples and field names with the current `tools.loopDetection` schema to prevent copy-paste validation failures from outdated keys. (#33182) Thanks @Mylszd.
+- Gateway/session agent discovery: include disk-scanned agent IDs in `listConfiguredAgentIds` even when `agents.list` is configured, so disk-only/ACP agent sessions remain visible in gateway session aggregation and listings. (#32831) thanks @Sid-Qin.
 - Discord/inbound debouncer: skip bot-own MESSAGE_CREATE events before they reach the debounce queue to avoid self-triggered slowdowns in busy servers. Thanks @thewilloftheshadow.
 - Discord/Agent-scoped media roots: pass `mediaLocalRoots` through Discord monitor reply delivery (message + component interaction paths) so local media attachments honor per-agent workspace roots instead of falling back to default global roots. Thanks @thewilloftheshadow.
 - Discord/slash command handling: intercept text-based slash commands in channels, register plugin commands as native, and send fallback acknowledgments for empty slash runs so interactions do not hang. Thanks @thewilloftheshadow.
 - Discord/thread session lifecycle: reset thread-scoped sessions when a thread is archived so reopening a thread starts fresh without deleting transcript history. Thanks @thewilloftheshadow.
 - Discord/presence defaults: send an online presence update on ready when no custom presence is configured so bots no longer appear offline by default. Thanks @thewilloftheshadow.
 - Discord/typing cleanup: stop typing indicators after silent/NO_REPLY runs by marking the run complete before dispatch idle cleanup. Thanks @thewilloftheshadow.
+- Discord/config SecretRef typing: align Discord account token config typing with SecretInput so SecretRef tokens typecheck. (#32490) Thanks @scoootscooob.
 - Discord/voice messages: request upload slots with JSON fetch calls so voice message uploads no longer fail with content-type errors. Thanks @thewilloftheshadow.
+- Discord/voice decoder fallback: drop the native Opus dependency and use opusscript for voice decoding to avoid native-opus installs. Thanks @thewilloftheshadow.
 - Discord/auto presence health signal: add runtime availability-driven presence updates plus connected-state reporting to improve health monitoring and operator visibility. (#33277) Thanks @thewilloftheshadow.
+- Telegram/draft-stream boundary stability: materialize DM draft previews at assistant-message/tool boundaries, serialize lane-boundary callbacks before final delivery, and scope preview cleanup to the active preview so multi-step Telegram streams no longer lose, overwrite, or leave stale preview bubbles. (#33842) Thanks @ngutman.
 - Telegram/DM draft finalization reliability: require verified final-text draft emission before treating preview finalization as delivered, and fall back to normal payload send when final draft delivery is not confirmed (preventing missing final responses and preserving media/button delivery). (#32118) Thanks @OpenCils.
+- Telegram/DM draft final delivery: materialize text-only `sendMessageDraft` previews into one permanent final message and skip duplicate final payload sends, while preserving fallback behavior when materialization fails. (#34318) Thanks @Brotherinlaw-13.
 - Telegram/draft preview boundary + silent-token reliability: stabilize answer-lane message boundaries across late-partial/message-start races, preserve/reset finalized preview state at the correct boundaries, and suppress `NO_REPLY` lead-fragment leaks without broad heartbeat-prefix false positives. (#33169) Thanks @obviyus.
 - Discord/audit wildcard warnings: ignore "\*" wildcard keys when counting unresolved guild channels so doctor/status no longer warns on allow-all configs. (#33125) Thanks @thewilloftheshadow.
 - Discord/channel resolution: default bare numeric recipients to channels, harden allowlist numeric ID handling with safe fallbacks, and avoid inbound WS heartbeat stalls. (#33142) Thanks @thewilloftheshadow.
 - Discord/chunk delivery reliability: preserve chunk ordering when using a REST client and retry chunk sends on 429/5xx using account retry settings. (#33226) Thanks @thewilloftheshadow.
 - Discord/mention handling: add id-based mention formatting + cached rewrites, resolve inbound mentions to display names, and add optional ignoreOtherMentions gating (excluding @everyone/@here). (#33224) Thanks @thewilloftheshadow.
 - Discord/media SSRF allowlist: allow Discord CDN hostnames (including wildcard domains) in inbound media SSRF policy to prevent proxy/VPN fake-ip blocks. (#33275) Thanks @thewilloftheshadow.
+- Telegram/device pairing notifications: auto-arm one-shot notify on `/pair qr`, auto-ping on new pairing requests, and add manual fallback via `/pair approve latest` if the ping does not arrive. (#33299) thanks @mbelinky.
 - Exec heartbeat routing: scope exec-triggered heartbeat wakes to agent session keys so unrelated agents are no longer awakened by exec events, while preserving legacy unscoped behavior for non-canonical session keys. (#32724) thanks @altaywtf
 - macOS/Tailscale remote gateway discovery: add a Tailscale Serve fallback peer probe path (`wss://.ts.net`) when Bonjour and wide-area DNS-SD discovery return no gateways, and refresh both discovery paths from macOS onboarding. (#32860) Thanks @ngutman.
 - iOS/Gateway keychain hardening: move gateway metadata and TLS fingerprints to device keychain storage with safer migration behavior and rollback-safe writes to reduce credential loss risk during upgrades. (#33029) thanks @mbelinky.
 - iOS/Concurrency stability: replace risky shared-state access in camera and gateway connection paths with lock-protected access patterns to reduce crash risk under load. (#33241) thanks @mbelinky.
 - iOS/Security guardrails: limit production API-key sourcing to app config and make deep-link confirmation prompts safer by coalescing queued requests instead of silently dropping them. (#33031) thanks @mbelinky.
 - iOS/TTS playback fallback: keep voice playback resilient by switching from PCM to MP3 when provider format support is unavailable, while avoiding sticky fallback on generic local playback errors. (#33032) thanks @mbelinky.
+- Plugin outbound/text-only adapter compatibility: allow direct-delivery channel plugins that only implement `sendText` (without `sendMedia`) to remain outbound-capable, gracefully fall back to text delivery for media payloads when `sendMedia` is absent, and fail explicitly for media-only payloads with no text fallback. (#32788) thanks @liuxiaopai-ai.
 - Telegram/multi-account default routing clarity: warn only for ambiguous (2+) account setups without an explicit default, add `openclaw doctor` warnings for missing/invalid multi-account defaults across channels, and document explicit-default guidance for channel routing and Telegram config. (#32544) thanks @Sid-Qin.
 - Telegram/plugin outbound hook parity: run `message_sending` + `message_sent` in Telegram reply delivery, include reply-path hook metadata (`mediaUrls`, `threadId`), and report `message_sent.success=false` when hooks blank text and no outbound message is delivered. (#32649) Thanks @KimGLee.
+- CLI/Coding-agent reliability: switch default `claude-cli` non-interactive args to `--permission-mode bypassPermissions`, auto-normalize legacy `--dangerously-skip-permissions` backend overrides to the modern permission-mode form, align coding-agent + live-test docs with the non-PTY Claude path, and emit session system-event heartbeat notices when CLI watchdog no-output timeouts terminate runs. (#28610, #31149, #34055). Thanks @niceysam, @cryptomaltese and @vincentkoc.
+- ACP/ACPX session bootstrap: retry with `sessions new` when `sessions ensure` returns no session identifiers so ACP spawns avoid `NO_SESSION`/`ACP_TURN_FAILED` failures on affected agents. (#28786, #31338, #34055). Thanks @Sid-Qin and @vincentkoc.
+- ACP/sessions_spawn parent stream visibility: add `streamTo: "parent"` for `runtime: "acp"` to forward initial child-run progress/no-output/completion updates back into the requester session as system events (instead of direct child delivery), and emit a tail-able session-scoped relay log (`.acp-stream.jsonl`, returned as `streamLogPath` when available), improving orchestrator visibility for blocked or long-running harness turns. (#34310, #29909; reopened from #34055). Thanks @vincentkoc.
+- Agents/bootstrap truncation warning handling: unify bootstrap budget/truncation analysis across embedded + CLI runtime, `/context`, and `openclaw doctor`; add `agents.defaults.bootstrapPromptTruncationWarning` (`off|once|always`, default `once`) and persist warning-signature metadata so truncation warnings are consistent and deduped across turns. (#32769) Thanks @gumadeiras.
 - Agents/Skills runtime loading: propagate run config into embedded attempt and compaction skill-entry loading so explicitly enabled bundled companion skills are discovered consistently when skill snapshots do not already provide resolved entries. Thanks @gumadeiras.
 - Agents/Session startup date grounding: substitute `YYYY-MM-DD` placeholders in startup/post-compaction AGENTS context and append runtime current-time lines for `/new` and `/reset` prompts so daily-memory references resolve correctly. (#32381) Thanks @chengzhichao-xydt.
+- Agents/Compaction template heading alignment: update AGENTS template section names to `Session Startup`/`Red Lines` and keep legacy `Every Session`/`Safety` fallback extraction so post-compaction context remains intact across template versions. (#25098) thanks @echoVic.
 - Agents/Compaction continuity: expand staged-summary merge instructions to preserve active task status, batch progress, latest user request, and follow-up commitments so compaction handoffs retain in-flight work context. (#8903) thanks @joetomasone.
+- Agents/Compaction safeguard structure hardening: require exact fallback summary headings, sanitize untrusted compaction instruction text before prompt embedding, and keep structured sections when preserving all turns. (#25555) thanks @rodrigouroz.
 - Gateway/status self version reporting: make Gateway self version in `openclaw status` prefer runtime `VERSION` (while preserving explicit `OPENCLAW_VERSION` override), preventing stale post-upgrade app version output. (#32655) thanks @liuxiaopai-ai.
 - Memory/QMD index isolation: set `QMD_CONFIG_DIR` alongside `XDG_CONFIG_HOME` so QMD config state stays per-agent despite upstream XDG handling bugs, preventing cross-agent collection indexing and excess disk/CPU usage. (#27028) thanks @HenryLoenwind.
+- Memory/QMD collection safety: stop destructive collection rebinds when QMD `collection list` only reports names without path metadata, preventing `memory search` from dropping existing collections if re-add fails. (#36870) Thanks @Adnannnnnnna.
+- Memory/local embedding initialization hardening: add regression coverage for transient initialization retry and mixed `embedQuery` + `embedBatch` concurrent startup to lock single-flight initialization behavior. (#15639) thanks @SubtleSpark.
+- CLI/Coding-agent reliability: switch default `claude-cli` non-interactive args to `--permission-mode bypassPermissions`, auto-normalize legacy `--dangerously-skip-permissions` backend overrides to the modern permission-mode form, align coding-agent + live-test docs with the non-PTY Claude path, and emit session system-event heartbeat notices when CLI watchdog no-output timeouts terminate runs. Related to #28261. Landed from contributor PRs #28610 and #31149. Thanks @niceysam, @cryptomaltese and @vincentkoc.
+- ACP/ACPX session bootstrap: retry with `sessions new` when `sessions ensure` returns no session identifiers so ACP spawns avoid `NO_SESSION`/`ACP_TURN_FAILED` failures on affected agents. Related to #28786. Landed from contributor PR #31338. Thanks @Sid-Qin and @vincentkoc.
 - LINE/auth boundary hardening synthesis: enforce strict LINE webhook authn/z boundary semantics across pairing-store account scoping, DM/group allowlist separation, fail-closed webhook auth/runtime behavior, and replay/duplication controls (including in-flight replay reservation and post-success dedupe marking). (from #26701, #26683, #25978, #17593, #16619, #31990, #26047, #30584, #18777) Thanks @bmendonca3, @davidahmann, @harshang03, @haosenwang1018, @liuxiaopai-ai, @coygeek, and @Takhoffman.
 - LINE/media download synthesis: fix file-media download handling and M4A audio classification across overlapping LINE regressions. (from #26386, #27761, #27787, #29509, #29755, #29776, #29785, #32240) Thanks @kevinWangSheng, @loiie45e, @carrotRakko, @Sid-Qin, @codeafridi, and @bmendonca3.
 - LINE/context and routing synthesis: fix group/room peer routing and command-authorization context propagation, and keep processing later events in mixed-success webhook batches. (from #21955, #24475, #27035, #28286) Thanks @lailoo, @mcaxtr, @jervyclaw, @Glucksberg, and @Takhoffman.
 - LINE/status/config/webhook synthesis: fix status false positives from snapshot/config state and accept LINE webhook HEAD probes for compatibility. (from #10487, #25726, #27537, #27908, #31387) Thanks @BlueBirdBack, @stakeswky, @loiie45e, @puritysb, and @mcaxtr.
 - LINE cleanup/test follow-ups: fold cleanup/test learnings into the synthesis review path while keeping runtime changes focused on regression fixes. (from #17630, #17289) Thanks @Clawborn and @davidahmann.
+- Mattermost/interactive buttons: add interactive button send/callback support with directory-based channel/user target resolution, and harden callbacks via account-scoped HMAC verification plus sender-scoped DM routing. (#19957) thanks @tonydehnke.
+- Feishu/groupPolicy legacy alias compatibility: treat legacy `groupPolicy: "allowall"` as `open` in both schema parsing and runtime policy checks so intended open-group configs no longer silently drop group messages when `groupAllowFrom` is empty. (from #36358) Thanks @Sid-Qin.
+
+- Mattermost/plugin SDK import policy: replace remaining monolithic `openclaw/plugin-sdk` imports in Mattermost mention-gating paths/tests with scoped subpaths (`openclaw/plugin-sdk/compat` and `openclaw/plugin-sdk/mattermost`) so `pnpm check` passes `lint:plugins:no-monolithic-plugin-sdk-entry-imports` on baseline. (#36480) Thanks @Takhoffman.
+- Telegram/polls: add Telegram poll action support to channel action discovery and tool/CLI poll flows, with multi-account discoverability gated to accounts that can actually execute polls (`sendMessage` + `poll`). (#36547) thanks @gumadeiras.
+
+- Agents/failover cooldown classification: stop treating generic `cooling down` text as provider `rate_limit` so healthy models no longer show false global cooldown/rate-limit warnings while explicit `model_cooldown` markers still trigger failover. (#32972) thanks @stakeswky.
+- Agents/failover service-unavailable handling: stop treating bare proxy/CDN `service unavailable` errors as provider overload while keeping them retryable via the timeout/failover path, so transient outages no longer show false rate-limit warnings or block fallback. (#36646) thanks @jnMetaCode.
+- Agents/current-time UTC anchor: append a machine-readable UTC suffix alongside local `Current time:` lines in shared cron-style prompt contexts so agents can compare UTC-stamped workspace timestamps without doing timezone math. (#32423) thanks @jriff.
+- TUI/webchat command-owner scope alignment: treat internal-channel gateway sessions with `operator.admin` as owner-authorized in command auth, restoring cron/gateway/connector tool access for affected TUI/webchat sessions while keeping external channels on identity-based owner checks. (from #35666, #35673, #35704) Thanks @Naylenv, @Octane0411, and @Sid-Qin.
+- Discord/inbound timeout isolation: separate inbound worker timeout tracking from listener timeout budgets so queued Discord replies are no longer dropped when listener watchdog windows expire mid-run. (#36602) Thanks @dutifulbob.
+- Memory/doctor SecretRef handling: treat SecretRef-backed memory-search API keys as configured, and fail embedding setup with explicit unresolved-secret errors instead of crashing. (#36835) Thanks @joshavant.
+- Memory/flush default prompt: ban timestamped variant filenames during default memory flush runs so durable notes stay in the canonical daily `memory/YYYY-MM-DD.md` file. (#34951) thanks @zerone0x.
+- Agents/reply delivery timing: flush embedded Pi block replies before waiting on compaction retries so already-generated assistant replies reach channels before compaction wait completes. (#35489) thanks @Sid-Qin.

 - Slack/session routing: keep top-level channel messages in one shared session when `replyToMode=off`, while preserving thread-scoped keys for true thread replies and non-off modes. (#32193) Thanks @bmendonca3.
+- Slack/app_mention dedupe race handling: keep seen-message dedupe to prevent duplicate replies while allowing a one-time app_mention retry when the paired message event was dropped pre-dispatch, so requireMention channels do not lose mentions under Slack event reordering.

+- Logging/Subsystem console timestamps: route subsystem console timestamp rendering through `formatConsoleTimestamp(...)` so `pretty` and timestamp-prefix output use local timezone formatting consistently instead of inline UTC `toISOString()` paths. (#25970) Thanks @openperf.
 - Feishu/Multi-account + reply reliability: add `channels.feishu.defaultAccount` outbound routing support with schema validation, prevent inbound preview text from leaking into prompt system events, keep quoted-message extraction text-first (post/interactive/file placeholders instead of raw JSON), route Feishu video sends as `msg_type: "file"`, and avoid websocket event blocking by using non-blocking event handling in monitor dispatch.

+- Feishu reply routing now uses one canonical reply-target path across inbound and outbound flows: normal groups reply to the triggering message while topic-mode groups stay on topic roots, outbound sends preserve `replyToId`/`threadId`, withdrawn reply targets fall back to direct sends, and cron duplicate suppression normalizes Feishu/Lark target IDs consistently (#32980, #32958, #33572, #33526; #33789, #33575, #33515, #33161).

+# Auth Credential Semantics
+
+This document defines the canonical credential eligibility and resolution semantics used across:
+
+- `resolveAuthProfileOrder`
+- `resolveApiKeyForProfile`
+- `models status --probe`
+- `doctor-auth`
+
+The goal is to keep selection-time and runtime behavior aligned.
+
+## Stable Reason Codes
+
+- `ok`
+- `missing_credential`
+- `invalid_expires`
+- `expired`
+- `unresolved_ref`
+
+## Token Credentials
+
+Token credentials (`type: "token"`) support inline `token` and/or `tokenRef`.
+
+### Eligibility rules
+
+1. A token profile is ineligible when both `token` and `tokenRef` are absent.
+2. `expires` is optional.
+3. If `expires` is present, it must be a finite number greater than `0`.
+4. If `expires` is invalid (`NaN`, `0`, negative, non-finite, or wrong type), the profile is ineligible with `invalid_expires`.
+5. If `expires` is in the past, the profile is ineligible with `expired`.
+6. `tokenRef` does not bypass `expires` validation.
+
+### Resolution rules
+
+1. Resolver semantics match eligibility semantics for `expires`.
+2. For eligible profiles, token material may be resolved from inline value or `tokenRef`.
+3. Unresolvable refs produce `unresolved_ref` in `models status --probe` output.
+
+## Legacy-Compatible Messaging
+
+For script compatibility, probe errors keep this first line unchanged:
+
+`Auth profile credentials are missing or expired.`
+
+Human-friendly detail and stable reason codes may be added on subsequent lines.

+## Interactive buttons (message tool)
+
+Send messages with clickable buttons. When a user clicks a button, the agent receives the
+selection and can respond.
+
+Enable buttons by adding `inlineButtons` to the channel capabilities:
+
+```json5
+{
+  channels: {
+    mattermost: {
+      capabilities: ["inlineButtons"],
+    },
+  },
+}
+```
+
+Use `message action=send` with a `buttons` parameter. Buttons are a 2D array (rows of buttons):
+
+```
+message action=send channel=mattermost target=channel: buttons=[[{"text":"Yes","callback_data":"yes"},{"text":"No","callback_data":"no"}]]
+```
+
+Button fields:
+
+- `text` (required): display label.
+- `callback_data` (required): value sent back on click (used as the action ID).
+- `style` (optional): `"default"`, `"primary"`, or `"danger"`.
+
+When a user clicks a button:
+
+1. All buttons are replaced with a confirmation line (e.g., "✓ **Yes** selected by @user").
+2. The agent receives the selection as an inbound message and responds.
+
+Notes:
+
+- Button callbacks use HMAC-SHA256 verification (automatic, no config needed).
+- Mattermost strips callback data from its API responses (security feature), so all buttons
+  are removed on click — partial removal is not possible.
+- Action IDs containing hyphens or underscores are sanitized automatically
+  (Mattermost routing limitation).
+
+Config:
+
+- `channels.mattermost.capabilities`: array of capability strings. Add `"inlineButtons"` to
+  enable the buttons tool description in the agent system prompt.
+
+### Direct API integration (external scripts)
+
+External scripts and webhooks can post buttons directly via the Mattermost REST API
+instead of going through the agent's `message` tool. Use `buildButtonAttachments()` from
+the extension when possible; if posting raw JSON, follow these rules:
+
+**Payload structure:**
+
+```json5
+{
+  channel_id: "",
+  message: "Choose an option:",
+  props: {
+    attachments: [
+      {
+        actions: [
+          {
+            id: "mybutton01", // alphanumeric only — see below
+            type: "button", // required, or clicks are silently ignored
+            name: "Approve", // display label
+            style: "primary", // optional: "default", "primary", "danger"
+            integration: {
+              url: "http://localhost:18789/mattermost/interactions/default",
+              context: {
+                action_id: "mybutton01", // must match button id (for name lookup)
+                action: "approve",
+                // ... any custom fields ...
+                _token: "", // see HMAC section below
+              },
+            },
+          },
+        ],
+      },
+    ],
+  },
+}
+```
+
+**Critical rules:**
+
+1. Attachments go in `props.attachments`, not top-level `attachments` (silently ignored).
+2. Every action needs `type: "button"` — without it, clicks are swallowed silently.
+3. Every action needs an `id` field — Mattermost ignores actions without IDs.
+4. Action `id` must be **alphanumeric only** (`[a-zA-Z0-9]`). Hyphens and underscores break
+   Mattermost's server-side action routing (returns 404). Strip them before use.
+5. `context.action_id` must match the button's `id` so the confirmation message shows the
+   button name (e.g., "Approve") instead of a raw ID.
+6. `context.action_id` is required — the interaction handler returns 400 without it.
+
+**HMAC token generation:**
+
+The gateway verifies button clicks with HMAC-SHA256. External scripts must generate tokens
+that match the gateway's verification logic:
+
+1. Derive the secret from the bot token:
+   `HMAC-SHA256(key="openclaw-mattermost-interactions", data=botToken)`
+2. Build the context object with all fields **except** `_token`.
+3. Serialize with **sorted keys** and **no spaces** (the gateway uses `JSON.stringify`
+   with sorted keys, which produces compact output).
+4. Sign: `HMAC-SHA256(key=secret, data=serializedContext)`
+5. Add the resulting hex digest as `_token` in the context.
+
+Python example:
+
+```python
+import hmac, hashlib, json
+
+secret = hmac.new(
+    b"openclaw-mattermost-interactions",
+    bot_token.encode(), hashlib.sha256
+).hexdigest()
+
+ctx = {"action_id": "mybutton01", "action": "approve"}
+payload = json.dumps(ctx, sort_keys=True, separators=(",", ":"))
+token = hmac.new(secret.encode(), payload.encode(), hashlib.sha256).hexdigest()
+
+context = {**ctx, "_token": token}
+```
+
+Common HMAC pitfalls:
+
+- Python's `json.dumps` adds spaces by default (`{"key": "val"}`). Use
+  `separators=(",", ":")` to match JavaScript's compact output (`{"key":"val"}`).
+- Always sign **all** context fields (minus `_token`). The gateway strips `_token` then
+  signs everything remaining. Signing a subset causes silent verification failure.
+- Use `sort_keys=True` — the gateway sorts keys before signing, and Mattermost may
+  reorder context fields when storing the payload.
+- Derive the secret from the bot token (deterministic), not random bytes. The secret
+  must be the same across the process that creates buttons and the gateway that verifies.
+
+## Directory adapter
+
+The Mattermost plugin includes a directory adapter that resolves channel and user names
+via the Mattermost API. This enables `#channel-name` and `@username` targets in
+`openclaw message send` and cron/webhook deliveries.
+
+No configuration is needed — the adapter uses the bot token from the account config.
+

@@ -197,3 +342,10 @@ Mattermost supports multiple accounts under `channels.mattermost.accounts`:
 - No replies in channels: ensure the bot is in the channel and mention it (oncall), use a trigger prefix (onchar), or set `chatmode: "onmessage"`.
 - Auth errors: check the bot token, base URL, and whether the account is enabled.
 - Multi-account issues: env vars only apply to the `default` account.
+- Buttons appear as white boxes: the agent may be sending malformed button data. Check that each button has both `text` and `callback_data` fields.
+- Buttons render but clicks do nothing: verify `AllowedUntrustedInternalConnections` in Mattermost server config includes `127.0.0.1 localhost`, and that `EnablePostActionIntegration` is `true` in ServiceSettings.
+- Buttons return 404 on click: the button `id` likely contains hyphens or underscores. Mattermost's action router breaks on non-alphanumeric IDs. Use `[a-zA-Z0-9]` only.
+- Gateway logs `invalid _token`: HMAC mismatch. Check that you sign all context fields (not a subset), use sorted keys, and use compact JSON (no spaces). See the HMAC section above.
+- Gateway logs `missing _token in context`: the `_token` field is not in the button's context. Ensure it is included when building the integration payload.
+- Confirmation shows raw ID instead of button name: `context.action_id` does not match the button's `id`. Set both to the same sanitized value.
+- Agent doesn't know about buttons: add `capabilities: ["inlineButtons"]` to the Mattermost channel config.

+# ACP Persistent Bindings for Discord Channels and Telegram Topics
+
+Status: Draft
+
+## Summary
+
+Introduce persistent ACP bindings that map:
+
+- Discord channels (and existing threads, where needed), and
+- Telegram forum topics in groups/supergroups (`chatId:topic:topicId`)
+
+to long-lived ACP sessions, with binding state stored in top-level `bindings[]` entries using explicit binding types.
+
+This makes ACP usage in high-traffic messaging channels predictable and durable, so users can create dedicated channels/topics such as `codex`, `claude-1`, or `claude-myrepo`.
+
+## Why
+
+Current thread-bound ACP behavior is optimized for ephemeral Discord thread workflows. Telegram does not have the same thread model; it has forum topics in groups/supergroups. Users want stable, always-on ACP “workspaces” in chat surfaces, not only temporary thread sessions.
+
+## Goals
+
+- Support durable ACP binding for:
+  - Discord channels/threads
+  - Telegram forum topics (groups/supergroups)
+- Make binding source-of-truth config-driven.
+- Keep `/acp`, `/new`, `/reset`, `/focus`, and delivery behavior consistent across Discord and Telegram.
+- Preserve existing temporary binding flows for ad-hoc usage.
+
+## Non-Goals
+
+- Full redesign of ACP runtime/session internals.
+- Removing existing ephemeral binding flows.
+- Expanding to every channel in the first iteration.
+- Implementing Telegram channel direct-messages topics (`direct_messages_topic_id`) in this phase.
+- Implementing Telegram private-chat topic variants in this phase.
+
+## UX Direction
+
+### 1) Two binding types
+
+- **Persistent binding**: saved in config, reconciled on startup, intended for “named workspace” channels/topics.
+- **Temporary binding**: runtime-only, expires by idle/max-age policy.
+
+### 2) Command behavior
+
+- `/acp spawn ... --thread here|auto|off` remains available.
+- Add explicit bind lifecycle controls:
+  - `/acp bind [session|agent] [--persist]`
+  - `/acp unbind [--persist]`
+  - `/acp status` includes whether binding is `persistent` or `temporary`.
+- In bound conversations, `/new` and `/reset` reset the bound ACP session in place and keep the binding attached.
+
+### 3) Conversation identity
+
+- Use canonical conversation IDs:
+  - Discord: channel/thread ID.
+  - Telegram topic: `chatId:topic:topicId`.
+- Never key Telegram bindings by bare topic ID alone.
+
+## Config Model (Proposed)
+
+Unify routing and persistent ACP binding configuration in top-level `bindings[]` with explicit `type` discriminator:

+  ],
+}
+```
+
+Notes:
+
+- `bindings[].type` is explicit:
+  - `route`: normal agent routing.
+  - `acp`: persistent ACP harness binding for a matched conversation.
+- For `type: "acp"`, `match.peer.id` is the canonical conversation key:
+  - Discord channel/thread: raw channel/thread ID.
+  - Telegram topic: `chatId:topic:topicId`.
+- `bindings[].acp.backend` is optional. Backend fallback order:
+  1. `bindings[].acp.backend`
+  2. `agents.list[].runtime.acp.backend`
+  3. global `acp.backend`
+- `mode`, `cwd`, and `label` follow the same override pattern (`binding override -> agent runtime default -> global/default behavior`).
+- Keep existing `session.threadBindings.*` and `channels.discord.threadBindings.*` for temporary binding policies.
+- Persistent entries declare desired state; runtime reconciles to actual ACP sessions/bindings.
+- One active ACP binding per conversation node is the intended model.
+- Backward compatibility: missing `type` is interpreted as `route` for legacy entries.
+
+### Backend Selection
+
+- ACP session initialization already uses configured backend selection during spawn (`acp.backend` today).
+- This proposal extends spawn/reconcile logic to prefer typed ACP binding overrides:
+  - `bindings[].acp.backend` for conversation-local override.
+  - `agents.list[].runtime.acp.backend` for per-agent defaults.
+- If no override exists, keep current behavior (`acp.backend` default).
+
+## Architecture Fit in Current System
+
+### Reuse existing components
+
+- `SessionBindingService` already supports channel-agnostic conversation references.
+- ACP spawn/bind flows already support binding through service APIs.
+- Telegram already carries topic/thread context via `MessageThreadId` and `chatId`.
+
+### New/extended components
+
+- **Telegram binding adapter** (parallel to Discord adapter):
+  - register adapter per Telegram account,
+  - resolve/list/bind/unbind/touch by canonical conversation ID.
+- **Typed binding resolver/index**:
+  - split `bindings[]` into `route` and `acp` views,
+  - keep `resolveAgentRoute` on `route` bindings only,
+  - resolve persistent ACP intent from `acp` bindings only.
+- **Inbound binding resolution for Telegram**:
+  - resolve bound session before route finalization (Discord already does this).
+- **Persistent binding reconciler**:
+  - on startup: load configured top-level `type: "acp"` bindings, ensure ACP sessions exist, ensure bindings exist.
+  - on config change: apply deltas safely.
+- **Cutover model**:
+  - no channel-local ACP binding fallback is read,
+  - persistent ACP bindings are sourced only from top-level `bindings[].type="acp"` entries.
+
+## Phased Delivery
+
+### Phase 1: Typed binding schema foundation
+
+- Extend config schema to support `bindings[].type` discriminator:
+  - `route`,
+  - `acp` with optional `acp` override object (`mode`, `backend`, `cwd`, `label`).
+- Extend agent schema with runtime descriptor to mark ACP-native agents (`agents.list[].runtime.type`).
+- Add parser/indexer split for route vs ACP bindings.
+
+### Phase 2: Runtime resolution + Discord/Telegram parity
+
+- Resolve persistent ACP bindings from top-level `type: "acp"` entries for:
+  - Discord channels/threads,
+  - Telegram forum topics (`chatId:topic:topicId` canonical IDs).
+- Implement Telegram binding adapter and inbound bound-session override parity with Discord.
+- Do not include Telegram direct/private topic variants in this phase.
+
+### Phase 3: Command parity and resets
+
+- Align `/acp`, `/new`, `/reset`, and `/focus` behavior in bound Telegram/Discord conversations.
+- Ensure binding survives reset flows as configured.
+
+### Phase 4: Hardening
+
+- Better diagnostics (`/acp status`, startup reconciliation logs).
+- Conflict handling and health checks.
+
+## Guardrails and Policy
+
+- Respect ACP enablement and sandbox restrictions exactly as today.
+- Keep explicit account scoping (`accountId`) to avoid cross-account bleed.
+- Fail closed on ambiguous routing.
+- Keep mention/access policy behavior explicit per channel config.
+
+## Testing Plan
+
+- Unit:
+  - conversation ID normalization (especially Telegram topic IDs),
+  - reconciler create/update/delete paths,
+  - `/acp bind --persist` and unbind flows.
+- Integration:
+  - inbound Telegram topic -> bound ACP session resolution,
+  - inbound Discord channel/thread -> persistent binding precedence.
+- Regression:
+  - temporary bindings continue to work,
+  - unbound channels/topics keep current routing behavior.
+
+## Open Questions
+
+- Should `/acp spawn --thread auto` in Telegram topic default to `here`?
+- Should persistent bindings always bypass mention-gating in bound conversations, or require explicit `requireMention=false`?
+- Should `/focus` gain `--persist` as an alias for `/acp bind --persist`?
+
+## Rollout
+
+- Ship as opt-in per conversation (`bindings[].type="acp"` entry present).
+- Start with Discord + Telegram only.
+- Add docs with examples for:
+  - “one channel/topic per agent”
+  - “multiple channels/topics per same agent with different `cwd`”
+  - “team naming patterns (`codex-1`, `claude-repo-x`)".

+summary: "Status and next steps for decoupling Discord gateway listeners from long-running agent turns with a Discord-specific inbound worker"

+
+# Discord Async Inbound Worker Plan
+
+## Objective
+
+Remove Discord listener timeout as a user-facing failure mode by making inbound Discord turns asynchronous:
+
+1. Gateway listener accepts and normalizes inbound events quickly.
+2. A Discord run queue stores serialized jobs keyed by the same ordering boundary we use today.
+3. A worker executes the actual agent turn outside the Carbon listener lifetime.
+4. Replies are delivered back to the originating channel or thread after the run completes.
+
+This is the long-term fix for queued Discord runs timing out at `channels.discord.eventQueue.listenerTimeout` while the agent run itself is still making progress.
+
+## Current status
+
+This plan is partially implemented.
+
+Already done:
+
+- Discord listener timeout and Discord run timeout are now separate settings.
+- Accepted inbound Discord turns are enqueued into `src/discord/monitor/inbound-worker.ts`.
+- The worker now owns the long-running turn instead of the Carbon listener.
+- Existing per-route ordering is preserved by queue key.
+- Timeout regression coverage exists for the Discord worker path.
+
+What this means in plain language:
+
+- the production timeout bug is fixed
+- the long-running turn no longer dies just because the Discord listener budget expires
+- the worker architecture is not finished yet
+
+What is still missing:
+
+- `DiscordInboundJob` is still only partially normalized and still carries live runtime references
+- command semantics (`stop`, `new`, `reset`, future session controls) are not yet fully worker-native
+- worker observability and operator status are still minimal
+- there is still no restart durability
+
+## Why this exists
+
+Current behavior ties the full agent turn to the listener lifetime:
+
+- `src/discord/monitor/listeners.ts` applies the timeout and abort boundary.
+- `src/discord/monitor/message-handler.ts` keeps the queued run inside that boundary.
+- `src/discord/monitor/message-handler.process.ts` performs media loading, routing, dispatch, typing, draft streaming, and final reply delivery inline.
+
+That architecture has two bad properties:
+
+- long but healthy turns can be aborted by the listener watchdog
+- users can see no reply even when the downstream runtime would have produced one
+
+Raising the timeout helps but does not change the failure mode.
+
+## Non-goals
+
+- Do not redesign non-Discord channels in this pass.
+- Do not broaden this into a generic all-channel worker framework in the first implementation.
+- Do not extract a shared cross-channel inbound worker abstraction yet; only share low-level primitives when duplication is obvious.
+- Do not add durable crash recovery in the first pass unless needed to land safely.
+- Do not change route selection, binding semantics, or ACP policy in this plan.
+
+## Current constraints
+
+The current Discord processing path still depends on some live runtime objects that should not stay inside the long-term job payload:
+
+- Carbon `Client`
+- raw Discord event shapes
+- in-memory guild history map
+- thread binding manager callbacks
+- live typing and draft stream state
+
+We already moved execution onto a worker queue, but the normalization boundary is still incomplete. Right now the worker is "run later in the same process with some of the same live objects," not a fully data-only job boundary.
+
+## Target architecture
+
+### 1. Listener stage
+
+`DiscordMessageListener` remains the ingress point, but its job becomes:
+
+- run preflight and policy checks
+- normalize accepted input into a serializable `DiscordInboundJob`
+- enqueue the job into a per-session or per-channel async queue
+- return immediately to Carbon once the enqueue succeeds
+
+The listener should no longer own the end-to-end LLM turn lifetime.
+
+### 2. Normalized job payload
+
+Introduce a serializable job descriptor that contains only the data needed to run the turn later.
+
+Minimum shape:
+
+- route identity
+  - `agentId`
+  - `sessionKey`
+  - `accountId`
+  - `channel`
+- delivery identity
+  - destination channel id
+  - reply target message id
+  - thread id if present
+- sender identity
+  - sender id, label, username, tag
+- channel context
+  - guild id
+  - channel name or slug
+  - thread metadata
+  - resolved system prompt override
+- normalized message body
+  - base text
+  - effective message text
+  - attachment descriptors or resolved media references
+- gating decisions
+  - mention requirement outcome
+  - command authorization outcome
+  - bound session or agent metadata if applicable
+
+The job payload must not contain live Carbon objects or mutable closures.
+
+Current implementation status:
+
+- partially done
+- `src/discord/monitor/inbound-job.ts` exists and defines the worker handoff
+- the payload still contains live Discord runtime context and should be reduced further
+
+### 3. Worker stage
+
+Add a Discord-specific worker runner responsible for:
+
+- reconstructing the turn context from `DiscordInboundJob`
+- loading media and any additional channel metadata needed for the run
+- dispatching the agent turn
+- delivering final reply payloads
+- updating status and diagnostics
+
+Recommended location:
+
+- `src/discord/monitor/inbound-worker.ts`
+- `src/discord/monitor/inbound-job.ts`
+
+### 4. Ordering model
+
+Ordering must remain equivalent to today for a given route boundary.
+
+Recommended key:
+
+- use the same queue key logic as `resolveDiscordRunQueueKey(...)`
+
+This preserves existing behavior:
+
+- one bound agent conversation does not interleave with itself
+- different Discord channels can still progress independently
+
+### 5. Timeout model
+
+After cutover, there are two separate timeout classes:
+
+- listener timeout
+  - only covers normalization and enqueue
+  - should be short
+- run timeout
+  - optional, worker-owned, explicit, and user-visible
+  - should not be inherited accidentally from Carbon listener settings
+
+This removes the current accidental coupling between "Discord gateway listener stayed alive" and "agent run is healthy."
+
+## Recommended implementation phases
+
+### Phase 1: normalization boundary
+
+- Status: partially implemented
+- Done:
+  - extracted `buildDiscordInboundJob(...)`
+  - added worker handoff tests
+- Remaining:
+  - make `DiscordInboundJob` plain data only
+  - move live runtime dependencies to worker-owned services instead of per-job payload
+  - stop rebuilding process context by stitching live listener refs back into the job
+
+### Phase 2: in-memory worker queue
+
+- Status: implemented
+- Done:
+  - added `DiscordInboundWorkerQueue` keyed by resolved run queue key
+  - listener enqueues jobs instead of directly awaiting `processDiscordMessage(...)`
+  - worker executes jobs in-process, in memory only
+
+This is the first functional cutover.
+
+### Phase 3: process split
+
+- Status: not started
+- Move delivery, typing, and draft streaming ownership behind worker-facing adapters.
+- Replace direct use of live preflight context with worker context reconstruction.
+- Keep `processDiscordMessage(...)` temporarily as a facade if needed, then split it.
+
+### Phase 4: command semantics
+
+- Status: not started
+  Make sure native Discord commands still behave correctly when work is queued:
+
+- `stop`
+- `new`
+- `reset`
+- any future session-control commands
+
+The worker queue must expose enough run state for commands to target the active or queued turn.
+
+### Phase 5: observability and operator UX
+
+- Status: not started
+- emit queue depth and active worker counts into monitor status
+- record enqueue time, start time, finish time, and timeout or cancellation reason
+- surface worker-owned timeout or delivery failures clearly in logs
+
+### Phase 6: optional durability follow-up
+
+- Status: not started
+  Only after the in-memory version is stable:
+
+- decide whether queued Discord jobs should survive gateway restart
+- if yes, persist job descriptors and delivery checkpoints
+- if no, document the explicit in-memory boundary
+
+This should be a separate follow-up unless restart recovery is required to land.
+
+## File impact
+
+Current primary files:
+
+- `src/discord/monitor/listeners.ts`
+- `src/discord/monitor/message-handler.ts`
+- `src/discord/monitor/message-handler.preflight.ts`
+- `src/discord/monitor/message-handler.process.ts`
+- `src/discord/monitor/status.ts`
+
+Current worker files:
+
+- `src/discord/monitor/inbound-job.ts`
+- `src/discord/monitor/inbound-worker.ts`
+- `src/discord/monitor/inbound-job.test.ts`
+- `src/discord/monitor/message-handler.queue.test.ts`
+
+Likely next touch points:
+
+- `src/auto-reply/dispatch.ts`
+- `src/discord/monitor/reply-delivery.ts`
+- `src/discord/monitor/thread-bindings.ts`
+- `src/discord/monitor/native-command.ts`
+
+## Next step now
+
+The next step is to make the worker boundary real instead of partial.
+
+Do this next:
+
+1. Move live runtime dependencies out of `DiscordInboundJob`
+2. Keep those dependencies on the Discord worker instance instead
+3. Reduce queued jobs to plain Discord-specific data:
+   - route identity
+   - delivery target
+   - sender info
+   - normalized message snapshot
+   - gating and binding decisions
+4. Reconstruct worker execution context from that plain data inside the worker
+
+In practice, that means:
+
+- `client`
+- `threadBindings`
+- `guildHistories`
+- `discordRestFetch`
+- other mutable runtime-only handles
+
+should stop living on each queued job and instead live on the worker itself or behind worker-owned adapters.
+
+After that lands, the next follow-up should be command-state cleanup for `stop`, `new`, and `reset`.
+
+## Testing plan
+
+Keep the existing timeout repro coverage in:
+
+- `src/discord/monitor/message-handler.queue.test.ts`
+
+Add new tests for:
+
+1. listener returns after enqueue without awaiting full turn
+2. per-route ordering is preserved
+3. different channels still run concurrently
+4. replies are delivered to the original message destination
+5. `stop` cancels the active worker-owned run
+6. worker failure produces visible diagnostics without blocking later jobs
+7. ACP-bound Discord channels still route correctly under worker execution
+
+## Risks and mitigations
+
+- Risk: command semantics drift from current synchronous behavior
+  Mitigation: land command-state plumbing in the same cutover, not later
+
+- Risk: reply delivery loses thread or reply-to context
+  Mitigation: make delivery identity first-class in `DiscordInboundJob`
+
+- Risk: duplicate sends during retries or queue restarts
+  Mitigation: keep first pass in-memory only, or add explicit delivery idempotency before persistence
+
+- Risk: `message-handler.process.ts` becomes harder to reason about during migration
+  Mitigation: split into normalization, execution, and delivery helpers before or during worker cutover
+
+## Acceptance criteria
+
+The plan is complete when:
+
+1. Discord listener timeout no longer aborts healthy long-running turns.
+2. Listener lifetime and agent-turn lifetime are separate concepts in code.
+3. Existing per-session ordering is preserved.
+4. ACP-bound Discord channels work through the same worker path.
+5. `stop` targets the worker-owned run instead of the old listener-owned call stack.
+6. Timeout and delivery failures become explicit worker outcomes, not silent listener drops.
+
+## Remaining landing strategy
+
+Finish this in follow-up PRs:
+
+1. make `DiscordInboundJob` plain-data only and move live runtime refs onto the worker
+2. clean up command-state ownership for `stop`, `new`, and `reset`
+3. add worker observability and operator status
+4. decide whether durability is needed or explicitly document the in-memory boundary
+
+This is still a bounded follow-up if kept Discord-only and if we continue to avoid a premature cross-channel worker abstraction.

+read_when:
+  - Designing native command auth behavior in Telegram/Discord ACP-bound channels/topics
+title: "ACP Bound Command Authorization (Proposal)"
+---
+
+# ACP Bound Command Authorization (Proposal)
+
+Status: Proposed, **not implemented yet**.
+
+This document describes a long-term authorization model for native commands in
+ACP-bound conversations. It is an experiments proposal and does not replace
+current production behavior.
+
+For implemented behavior, read source and tests in:
+
+- `src/telegram/bot-native-commands.ts`
+- `src/discord/monitor/native-command.ts`
+- `src/auto-reply/reply/commands-core.ts`
+
+## Problem
+
+Today we have command-specific checks (for example `/new` and `/reset`) that
+need to work inside ACP-bound channels/topics even when allowlists are empty.
+This solves immediate UX pain, but command-name-based exceptions do not scale.
+
+## Long-term shape
+
+Move command authorization from ad-hoc handler logic to command metadata plus a
+shared policy evaluator.
+
+### 1) Add auth policy metadata to command definitions
+
+Each command definition should declare an auth policy. Example shape:
+
+```ts
+type CommandAuthPolicy =
+  | { mode: "owner_or_allowlist" } // default, current strict behavior
+  | { mode: "bound_acp_or_owner_or_allowlist" } // allow in explicitly bound ACP conversations
+  | { mode: "owner_only" };
+```
+
+`/new` and `/reset` would use `bound_acp_or_owner_or_allowlist`.
+Most other commands would remain `owner_or_allowlist`.
+
+### 2) Share one evaluator across channels
+
+Introduce one helper that evaluates command auth using:
+
+- command policy metadata
+- sender authorization state
+- resolved conversation binding state
+
+Both Telegram and Discord native handlers should call the same helper to avoid
+behavior drift.
+
+### 3) Use binding-match as the bypass boundary
+
+When policy allows bound ACP bypass, authorize only if a configured binding
+match was resolved for the current conversation (not just because current
+session key looks ACP-like).
+
+This keeps the boundary explicit and minimizes accidental widening.
+
+## Why this is better
+
+- Scales to future commands without adding more command-name conditionals.
+- Keeps behavior consistent across channels.
+- Preserves current security model by requiring explicit binding match.
+- Keeps allowlists optional hardening instead of a universal requirement.
+
+## Rollout plan (future)
+
+1. Add command auth policy field to command registry types and command data.
+2. Implement shared evaluator and migrate Telegram + Discord native handlers.
+3. Move `/new` and `/reset` to metadata-driven policy.
+4. Add tests per policy mode and channel surface.
+
+## Non-goals
+
+- This proposal does not change ACP session lifecycle behavior.
+- This proposal does not require allowlists for all ACP-bound commands.
+- This proposal does not change existing route binding semantics.
+
+## Note
+
+This proposal is intentionally additive and does not delete or replace existing
+experiments documents.

+## Channel specific settings
+
+For non-ephemeral workflows, configure persistent ACP bindings in top-level `bindings[]` entries.
+
+### Binding model
+
+- `bindings[].type="acp"` marks a persistent ACP conversation binding.
+- `bindings[].match` identifies the target conversation:
+  - Discord channel or thread: `match.channel="discord"` + `match.peer.id=""`
+  - Telegram forum topic: `match.channel="telegram"` + `match.peer.id=":topic:"`

+  - `label`
+  - `cwd`
+  - `backend`
+
+### Runtime defaults per agent
+
+Use `agents.list[].runtime` to define ACP defaults once per agent:
+
+- `agents.list[].runtime.type="acp"`
+- `agents.list[].runtime.acp.agent` (harness id, for example `codex` or `claude`)

+## Gateway HTTP routes
+
+Plugins can expose HTTP endpoints with `api.registerHttpRoute(...)`.
+
+```ts
+api.registerHttpRoute({
+  path: "/acme/webhook",
+  auth: "plugin",
+  match: "exact",
+  handler: async (_req, res) => {
+    res.statusCode = 200;
+    res.end("ok");
+    return true;
+  },
+});
+```
+
+Route fields:
+
+- `path`: route path under the gateway HTTP server.
+- `auth`: required. Use `"gateway"` to require normal gateway auth, or `"plugin"` for plugin-managed auth/webhook verification.
+- `match`: optional. `"exact"` (default) or `"prefix"`.
+- `replaceExisting`: optional. Allows the same plugin to replace its own existing route registration.
+- `handler`: return `true` when the route handled the request.
+
+Notes:
+
+- `api.registerHttpHandler(...)` is obsolete. Use `api.registerHttpRoute(...)`.
+- Plugin routes must declare `auth` explicitly.
+- Exact `path + match` conflicts are rejected unless `replaceExisting: true`, and one plugin cannot replace another plugin's route.
+
+## Plugin SDK import paths
+
+Use SDK subpaths instead of the monolithic `openclaw/plugin-sdk` import when
+authoring plugins:
+
+- `openclaw/plugin-sdk/core` for generic plugin APIs, provider auth types, and shared helpers.
+- `openclaw/plugin-sdk/compat` for bundled/internal plugin code that needs broader shared runtime helpers than `core`.
+- `openclaw/plugin-sdk/telegram` for Telegram channel plugins.
+- `openclaw/plugin-sdk/discord` for Discord channel plugins.
+- `openclaw/plugin-sdk/slack` for Slack channel plugins.
+- `openclaw/plugin-sdk/signal` for Signal channel plugins.
+- `openclaw/plugin-sdk/imessage` for iMessage channel plugins.
+- `openclaw/plugin-sdk/whatsapp` for WhatsApp channel plugins.
+- `openclaw/plugin-sdk/line` for LINE channel plugins.
+- `openclaw/plugin-sdk/msteams` for the bundled Microsoft Teams plugin surface.
+- Bundled extension-specific subpaths are also available:
+  `openclaw/plugin-sdk/acpx`, `openclaw/plugin-sdk/bluebubbles`,
+  `openclaw/plugin-sdk/copilot-proxy`, `openclaw/plugin-sdk/device-pair`,
+  `openclaw/plugin-sdk/diagnostics-otel`, `openclaw/plugin-sdk/diffs`,
+  `openclaw/plugin-sdk/feishu`,
+  `openclaw/plugin-sdk/google-gemini-cli-auth`, `openclaw/plugin-sdk/googlechat`,
+  `openclaw/plugin-sdk/irc`, `openclaw/plugin-sdk/llm-task`,
+  `openclaw/plugin-sdk/lobster`, `openclaw/plugin-sdk/matrix`,
+  `openclaw/plugin-sdk/mattermost`, `openclaw/plugin-sdk/memory-core`,

+  `openclaw/plugin-sdk/twitch`, `openclaw/plugin-sdk/voice-call`,
+  `openclaw/plugin-sdk/zalo`, and `openclaw/plugin-sdk/zalouser`.
+
+Compatibility note:
+
+- `openclaw/plugin-sdk` remains supported for existing external plugins.
+- New and migrated bundled plugins should use channel or extension-specific
+  subpaths; use `core` for generic surfaces and `compat` only when broader
+  shared helpers are required.
+
+Performance note:
+
+- Plugin discovery and manifest metadata use short in-process caches to reduce
+  bursty startup/reload work.
+- Set `OPENCLAW_DISABLE_PLUGIN_DISCOVERY_CACHE=1` or
+  `OPENCLAW_DISABLE_PLUGIN_MANIFEST_CACHE=1` to disable these caches.

+### Agent lifecycle hooks (`api.on`)
+
+For typed runtime lifecycle hooks, use `api.on(...)`:
+
+```ts
+export default function register(api) {
+  api.on(
+    "before_prompt_build",
+    (event, ctx) => {
+      return {
+        prependSystemContext: "Follow company style guide.",
+      };
+    },
+    { priority: 10 },
+  );
+}
+```
+
+Important hooks for prompt construction:
+
+- `before_model_resolve`: runs before session load (`messages` are not available). Use this to deterministically override `modelOverride` or `providerOverride`.
+- `before_prompt_build`: runs after session load (`messages` are available). Use this to shape prompt input.
+- `before_agent_start`: legacy compatibility hook. Prefer the two explicit hooks above.
+
+Core-enforced hook policy:
+
+- Operators can disable prompt mutation hooks per plugin via `plugins.entries..hooks.allowPromptInjection: false`.
+- When disabled, OpenClaw blocks `before_prompt_build` and ignores prompt-mutating fields returned from legacy `before_agent_start` while preserving legacy `modelOverride` and `providerOverride`.
+
+`before_prompt_build` result fields:
+
+- `prependContext`: prepends text to the user prompt for this run. Best for turn-specific or dynamic content.
+- `systemPrompt`: full system prompt override.
+- `prependSystemContext`: prepends text to the current system prompt.
+- `appendSystemContext`: appends text to the current system prompt.
+
+Prompt build order in embedded runtime:
+
+1. Apply `prependContext` to the user prompt.
+2. Apply `systemPrompt` override when provided.
+3. Apply `prependSystemContext + current system prompt + appendSystemContext`.
+
+Merge and precedence notes:
+
+- Hook handlers run by priority (higher first).
+- For merged context fields, values are concatenated in execution order.
+- `before_prompt_build` values are applied before legacy `before_agent_start` fallback values.
+
+Migration guidance:
+
+- Move static guidance from `prependContext` to `prependSystemContext` (or `appendSystemContext`) so providers can cache stable system-prefix content.
+- Keep `prependContext` for per-turn dynamic context that should stay tied to the user message.

-  - **Perplexity**: returns AI-synthesized answers with citations from real-time web search.
-  - **Gemini**: returns AI-synthesized answers grounded in Google Search with citations.
 - Results are cached by query for 15 minutes (configurable).
 - `web_fetch` does a plain HTTP GET and extracts readable content
   (HTML → markdown/text). It does **not** execute JavaScript.

-1. **Always use pty:true** - coding agents need a terminal!
+1. **Use the right execution mode per agent**:
+   - Codex/Pi/OpenCode: `pty:true`
+   - Claude Code: `--print --permission-mode bypassPermissions` (no PTY required)
 2. **Respect tool choice** - if user asks for Codex, use Codex.

    - If an agent fails/hangs, respawn it or ask the user for direction, but don't silently take over.
