CHANGELOG.md

@@ -26,6 +26,7 @@ Docs: https://docs.openclaw.ai
 - Sandbox/SSH: add a core SSH sandbox backend with secret-backed key, certificate, and known_hosts inputs, move shared remote exec/filesystem tooling into core, and keep OpenShell focused on sandbox lifecycle plus optional `mirror` mode.
 - Feishu/cards: add structured interactive approval and quick-action launcher cards, preserve callback user and conversation context through routing, and keep legacy card-action fallback behavior so common actions can run without typing raw commands. (#47873)
 - Feishu/ACP: add current-conversation ACP and subagent session binding for supported DMs and topic conversations, including completion delivery back to the originating Feishu conversation. (#46819)
+- Plugins/marketplaces: add Claude marketplace registry resolution, `plugin@marketplace` installs, marketplace listing, and update support, plus Docker E2E coverage for local and official marketplace flows. Thanks @vincentkoc.
