### Fixes

- Agents/embed: only mark `lastBlockReplyText` after a text_end block reply is actually emitted, so message_end keeps its safety delivery when directive parsing suppresses an earlier chunk (fixes dropped channel replies including Telegram forum topics where logs showed skipping message_end sends). Fixes #77833.

- TUI/sessions: bound the session picker to recent rows and use exact lookup-style refreshes for the active session, so dusty stores no longer make TUI hydrate weeks-old transcripts before becoming responsive. Thanks @vincentkoc.

- Doctor/gateway: report recent supervisor restart handoffs in `openclaw doctor --deep`, using the installed service environment when available so service-managed clean exits are visible in guided diagnostics. Thanks @shakkernerd.

- Gateway/status: show recent supervisor restart handoffs in `openclaw gateway status --deep`, including JSON details, so clean service-managed restarts are reported as restart handoffs instead of opaque stopped-service diagnostics. Thanks @shakkernerd.

- CLI/update: stop dev-channel source updates immediately when `git fetch` fails, so tag conflicts cannot keep preflight, rebase, or build steps running against stale refs while the Gateway is still on the old runtime. (#77845) Thanks @obviyus.

- Config/recovery: chmod restored `openclaw.json` back to owner-only (`0600`) after suspicious-read backup recovery on POSIX hosts, so a previously world-readable config mode cannot persist into a freshly restored credential-bearing config. (#77488) Thanks @drobison00.

- Memory/dreaming: persist last dreaming-ingestion calendar day per daily note in `daily-ingestion.json` so unchanged notes are still re-ingested once per dreaming day for promotion signals toward deep thresholds. Fixes #76225. (#76359) Thanks @neeravmakwana.

- Agents/embed: keep message_end safety delivery armed when a silent text_end chunk produces no block reply, fixing dropped Telegram/forum replies. Fixes #77833. (#77840) Thanks @neeravmakwana.
