- Plugins/update: keep externalized bundled npm bridge updates on the normal plugin security scanner path instead of granting source-linked official trust without artifact provenance. (#76765) Thanks @Lucenx9.

- Agents/reply context: label replied-to messages as the current user message target in model-visible metadata, so short replies are grounded to their explicit reply target instead of nearby chat history. (#76817) Thanks @obviyus.

- Doctor/plugins: install configured missing official plugins such as Discord and Brave during doctor/update repair, auto-enable repaired provider plugins, preserve config when a download fails, and stop auto-enable from inventing plugin entries when no manifest declares a configured channel. Fixes #76872. Thanks @jack-stormentswe.

- TUI: replace the stale-response watchdog notice with plain user-facing copy so stalled replies no longer surface backend or streaming internals.
