- Cron/run-log: report generic `message` tool sends under the resolved delivery channel when they match the cron target, while preserving account-specific mismatch checks for delivery traces. (#69940) Thanks @davehappyminion.

- Doctor/channels: merge configured-channel doctor hooks across read-only, loaded, setup, and runtime plugin discovery so partial adapters no longer hide runtime-only compatibility repair or allowlist warnings, preserve disabled-channel opt-outs, and ignore malformed hook values before they can mask valid fallbacks. (#69919) Thanks @gumadeiras.

- Models/CLI: show bundled provider-owned static catalog rows in `models list --all` before auth is configured, including Kimi K2.6 rows for Moonshot, OpenRouter, and Vercel AI Gateway, while keeping local-only and workspace plugin catalog paths isolated. (#69909) Thanks @shakkernerd.

- Models/CLI: clarify that `models list --provider` expects provider ids and reject display labels before loading model discovery. (#70504) Thanks @shakkernerd.

- Configure: skip generic CLI startup bootstrap for `openclaw configure` and bound hint-only gateway probes so the onboarding TUI reaches its first prompt faster when the Gateway is unavailable. (#69984) Thanks @obviyus.

- Agents/harness: surface selected plugin harness failures directly instead of replaying the same turn through embedded PI, preventing misleading secondary PI auth errors and avoiding duplicate side effects.

- OpenAI Codex: add a ChatGPT device-code auth option beside browser OAuth, so headless or callback-hostile setups can sign in without relying on the localhost browser callback. (#69557) Thanks @vincentkoc.
