- Cron/doctor: report scheduled jobs with explicit `payload.model` overrides, including provider namespace counts and default-model mismatches, so stale cron model pins are visible during auth or billing investigations. Fixes #82151. Thanks @mgonto.

- Codex app-server: keep the short turn-completion idle watchdog armed after the last non-assistant current-turn item completes, so a quiet Codex app-server releases the OpenClaw session lane before the outer attempt timeout. Fixes #82171. (#82172) Thanks @funmerlin.

- Providers/OpenRouter: stop adding empty DeepSeek V4 `reasoning_content` placeholders to assistant tool-call replay messages and strip empty replay artifacts before follow-up Chat Completions requests, so `openrouter/deepseek/deepseek-v4-pro` no longer fails after tool use. Fixes #82150. (#82158) Thanks @luyao618 and @Suquir0.

- OpenAI-compatible providers: honor streaming-usage compatibility metadata when deciding whether to send `stream_options.include_usage`, while keeping bundled Volcengine routes opted in to Ark streaming usage. Refs #44845. (#82181) Thanks @xuruiray.

- Gateway/approvals: treat `turnSourceTo` as optional in `canBridgeNoDeviceChatApprovalFromBackend`, matching the existing optional handling of `turnSourceAccountId` and `turnSourceThreadId`. Channels without a recipient concept (webchat, control-ui) leave `turnSourceTo` null on both the approval snapshot and the replay params, so the prior required-string check rejected every backend replay with `APPROVAL_CLIENT_MISMATCH`. Cross-channel replay is still gated by the required `turnSourceChannel` and `sessionKey` checks. Fixes #82132. (#82136) Thanks @ottodeng.

- Cron: load runtime plugins before isolated cron model and delivery resolution so external channels can be selected for scheduled runs. (#82111) Thanks @medns.

- Cron: mirror successful direct scheduled deliveries into the resolved destination session transcript while preserving isolated-delivery awareness policy. (#80786) Thanks @cavit99.
