- Dependencies/Pi: update bundled Pi packages to `0.70.0`, use Pi's upstream `gpt-5.5` catalog metadata for OpenAI and OpenAI Codex, and keep only local `gpt-5.5-pro` forward-compat handling.

- Models/CLI: avoid broad registry enumeration for default `openclaw models list`, reducing default listing latency while preserving configured-row output. (#70883) Thanks @shakkernerd.

- Models/CLI: split `openclaw models list` row-source orchestration and registry loading into narrower helpers without changing list output behavior. (#70867) Thanks @shakkernerd.

- Codex harness/context-engine: run context-engine bootstrap, assembly, post-turn maintenance, and engine-owned compaction in Codex app-server sessions while keeping native Codex thread state and compaction auditable. (#70809) Thanks @jalehman.

- Plugins/Google Meet: add a bundled participant plugin with personal Google auth, explicit meeting URL joins, Chrome and Twilio transports, and realtime voice support. (#70765) Thanks @steipete.

- Plugins/Google Meet: default Chrome realtime sessions to OpenAI plus SoX `rec`/`play` audio bridge commands, so the usual setup only needs the plugin enabled and `OPENAI_API_KEY`.

- Providers/OpenAI: add image generation and reference-image editing through Codex OAuth, so `openai/gpt-image-2` works without an `OPENAI_API_KEY`. Fixes #70703.

4. **After turn** — called after a run completes. The engine can persist state,

trigger background compaction, or update indexes.

For the bundled non-ACP Codex harness, OpenClaw applies the same lifecycle by

projecting assembled context into Codex developer instructions and the current

turn prompt. Codex still owns its native thread history and native compactor.

### Subagent lifecycle (optional)

OpenClaw calls two optional subagent lifecycle hooks:
