- Agents/subagents: include requested role and runtime timing on subagent failure payloads so parent agents can correlate failed or timed-out child work. (#68726) Thanks @BKF-Gitty.

- Gateway/sessions: reject stale agent-scoped sessions after an agent is removed from config while preserving legacy default-agent main-session aliases. (#65986) Thanks @bittoby.

- Doctor/gateway: surface pending device pairing requests, scope-upgrade approval drift, and stale device-token mismatch repair steps so `openclaw doctor --fix` no longer leaves pairing/auth setup failures unexplained. (#69210) Thanks @obviyus.

- Cron/isolated-agent: preserve explicit `delivery.mode: "none"` message targets for isolated runs without inheriting implicit `last` routing, so agent-initiated Telegram sends keep their authored destination while bare `mode:none` jobs stay targetless. (#69153) Thanks @davehappyminion.

- Cron/isolated-agent: keep `delivery.mode: "none"` account-only or thread-only configs from inheriting a stale implicit recipient, so isolated runs only resolve message routing when the job authored an explicit `to` target. (#69163) Thanks @nikilster.

- Gateway/TUI: retry session history while the local gateway is still finishing startup, so `openclaw tui` reconnects no longer fail on transient `chat.history unavailable during gateway startup` errors. (#69164) Thanks @shakkernerd.

- BlueBubbles/reactions: fall back to `love` when an agent reacts with an emoji outside the iMessage tapback set (`love`/`like`/`dislike`/`laugh`/`emphasize`/`question`), so wider-vocabulary model reactions like `👀` still produce a visible tapback instead of failing the whole reaction request. Configured ack reactions still validate strictly via the new `normalizeBlueBubblesReactionInputStrict` path. (#64693) Thanks @zqchris.

- BlueBubbles: prefer iMessage over SMS when both chats exist for the same handle, honor explicit `sms:` targets, and never silently downgrade iMessage-available recipients. (#61781) Thanks @rmartin.
