- Plugins/install: let trusted official `@openclaw/*` catalog installs recover when npm `latest` points at a prerelease by falling back to the newest stable version, or by selecting the newest exact prerelease for prerelease-only launch packages with a warning instead of making beta/development plugin sweeps fail at install time. Thanks @vincentkoc.

- Google Meet: grant Chrome media permissions against the actual Meet tab, start the local realtime audio bridge only after Meet joins, expose realtime transcripts in status/logs, and force explicit audio responses with current OpenAI realtime output-audio events so BlackHole capture does not keep the OpenClaw participant muted or silent.

- Memory/LanceDB: declare `apache-arrow` in the bundled memory plugin package so LanceDB installs include its runtime peer. Fixes #76910. Thanks @afiqfiles-max.

- CLI/devices: retry explicit device-pair approval with `operator.admin` after a pairing-scope ownership denial, so existing admin-capable paired-device tokens can recover new Control UI/browser pairing after upgrades instead of requiring manual JSON edits. Fixes #76956. Thanks @neo19482.

- Google Meet: use the local call-control microphone button instead of disabled remote participant mute buttons, and block realtime speech when the OpenClaw Meet microphone remains muted.

- Google Meet: refresh realtime browser state during status and retry delayed speech after Meet finishes joining, so a just-opened in-call tab no longer leaves speech stuck behind stale `not-in-call` health.

- Plugins/install: recover the install ledger from the managed npm root when `plugins/installs.json` is empty or partial, so reinstalling Discord and Codex no longer makes the other installed plugin disappear.
