- Memory/search: keep sqlite-vec optional in packaged installs and point missing-extension recovery at the valid `agents.defaults.memorySearch.store.vector.extensionPath` setting. Thanks @willemsej and @vincentkoc.

- Gateway: keep directly requested plugin tools invokable under restrictive tool profiles while preserving explicit deny lists and the HTTP safety deny list, preventing catalog/invoke mismatches that surface as "Tool not available". Thanks @BunsDev.

- Gateway/update: allow beta binaries to refresh gateway services when the config was last written by the matching stable release version, avoiding false newer-config downgrade blocks during beta channel updates.

- Gateway/watch mode: detect missing bundled plugin dist and runtime-postbuild outputs before launching, so `pnpm gateway:watch` rebuilds or restages incomplete plugin artifacts instead of trusting stale stamps. Thanks @rubencu.

- Channels: keep Matrix and Mattermost bundled in the core package instead of advertising external npm installs before those channels are cut over. Thanks @vincentkoc.

- Bonjour: disable LAN mDNS advertising after a repeated stuck-announcing recovery instead of repeatedly restarting ciao and saturating the Gateway event loop.

- Channels/setup: label installable channel picker hints as remote npm installs and hide remote install hints for bundled plugins that already ship with OpenClaw.
