- Gateway/LaunchAgent: treat a concurrent launchd bootstrap as a successful restart when the service is already loaded, avoiding false macOS Gateway restart failures. Fixes #84721. (#84722) Thanks @googlerest.

- Gateway/service: include the active `openclaw` command bin directory in managed service PATH generation and doctor audit expectations for npm-global macOS installs. Fixes #84201. (#84475) Thanks @jbetala7.

- Control UI/chat: disable the thinking selector for known non-reasoning models instead of showing duplicate Off choices. Fixes #84069. Thanks @DrippingMellow.

- Memory: expand `~` in configured extra memory paths before resolving them, so home-relative folders are not treated as workspace-relative. Fixes #58026. Thanks @stadman.

- CLI/update: preserve managed Gateway service environment during package cutovers so macOS LaunchAgent repair/restart reads the pre-update service state instead of caller shell state. (#83026)

- Agents/providers: honor per-model `api` and `baseUrl` overrides in custom provider auth hooks and transport selection. Fixes #80487. (#80488) Thanks @huveewomg.

- Gateway/restart: eager-load the lifecycle runtime before in-place upgrade signal handling so package replacement does not deadlock restart imports. (#84890) Thanks @myps6415.
