- Agents: abort generic repeated no-progress tool loops at the critical threshold when identical calls keep returning identical outcomes. (#80668) Thanks @frankekn.

- Exec approvals: omit generated command highlights for non-POSIX Windows and shell-wrapper approval commands until those command languages have native highlighting support. (#80566) Thanks @jesse-merhi.

- Telegram: keep verbose tool progress and result drafts separate from the final assistant answer so tool output no longer blends into the final Telegram message. (#80294) Thanks @jalehman.

- Plugin SDK/Windows: enable the native require fast path for root `openclaw/plugin-sdk` dist aliases instead of forcing Jiti transforms. (#80878) Thanks @medns.
